EDUCATION is a powerful driver of development and is one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty and improving health, gender equality, peace and stability. Although there has been great progress in the last decade, many more children attend schools and girls’ education has markedly improved, 124 million children are still out of primary and lower secondary school and 250 million cannot read or write although many have been to school. Education has large, consistent returns in terms of income and counters widening inequality but this potential is too often unrealized due to alarmingly low leaning levels. Providing

By the end of 2015, a total of 717 memoranda of agreements (MOA) nationwide have been signed by SSS with various staterun institutions, including 154 agencies and 563 local government units (LGUs). Over 76,000 JO and contractual workers are covered so far, while collections have reached P284 million. “The MOAs signed with NGAs become the principal agreement which shall govern their branch, field, division, provincial and regional offices.

for World War II history and the guide should tell a story vividly and clearly, to communicate the battles in a very respectful manner; impartial and inclusive, to lean on heroism. And he also cited the difference between commemoration and celebration. On the other hand, the second topic talked about the Principles of Sustainable Tourism by Gabriel Malvar, who started the TV documentary Island Insiders – a show approved by National Geographic and Department of Tourism (DOT), Travelife writer and editor-at-large. In his talk, he gave examples logically that stirred the mind of the audience and by asking questions like how much is the carrying capacity of a specific destination, are we able to conserve, protect and preserve the place, does the local community and the place ready enough to receive a big capacity. And also, he stated that planning between the stakeholders together with the local community is a must for a better result of the plan. As winning bidder for next year’s convention, Manila will host the 8th National Tour Guides Convention and General Assembly next year. This year’s host, Surigao City, is the provincial capital of Surigao del Norte, and was known during the Spanish era as “Banahao”. It became a chartered city on August 31, 1970, and has since then continued its march in developing into one of the favorite destinations in Mindanao. Participants to this year’s convention were divided into
and threw himself into the sea: Do you easily stop if adversities are blocking your way? Do you consider odds as misfortunes or as challenges to solve because there are rewards at the end? The greater odds signify to the greater rewards afterwards. Do not quit along the way but persevere until your last breath. Matthew three: cultural tour, adventure tour and nature tour. Each tour was given the chance to explore the host city for its divergent tourism potentials. The cultural tour highlighted Surigao City’s walk through the historic first raising of the Philippine flag, a stroll at the Luneta Park, a tree-lined promenade plaza and a playground for everyone’s recreation and visiting the Battle of Surigao Strait (BOSS) museum. The adventure tour went islandhopping, visiting Basul Island. Basul was taken from the Visayan word “mamasul” which means to catch fish. Also visited was Hikdop Island and Pagkawasan Beach which boasts of fine white sand and clear blue waters. Added to the list of tourist attraction visited by the Adventure Tour group was Buenavista Cave which depicts the illusionary image of a grand king’s court, complemented by stalactites and stalagmites. Meanwhile, the nature tour group went on an exploration of the city’s ecotourism destinations. The group visited Silop Cave Complex, a unique cave system with various entrances leading to one big chamber and with impressive limestone formation of naturally carved stalagmites and stalactites. Also visited was the Mabua Stone Beach, which has a kilometer-long stretch of beach full of multi-sized pebbles, and clear blue water, where tourists can also see the magnificent sunset. The Day-asan water village and Mangrove Forest, dubbed as “Little Venice” because of its narrow channels of water; it is a must-see destination in which the houses are erected on wooden stilts, bedded rocks and a vast mangrove plants. The officers of Philippine Federation of Professional Tour Guide Associations Inc. for 20142016, who made the convention possible, are as follows: GeneRose Tecson (GUIDE Davao) –President , Erwin Valenzuela (PAATGLI Luzon) –Vice-president, Lenieto Millan (CATG Visayas) –Vicepresident, Gina Amador Cuerdo (RANGERS Mindanao) –Vicepresident, Karla Ortega (CATG) – Secretary, Milber Cantiberos (Guide Davao) –Treasurer, Agnes Ytac (BITGAP) – Auditor. And the newly elected officers of the Philippine Federation of Professional Tour Guide Associations Inc. 20162018, are as follows: GeneRose Tecson (GUIDE Davao) –President, Erwin Valenzuela (PAATGLI Luzon) –Vice-president, Danny Nazareno (BITGAP Visayas) –Vice-president, Tr yll Chiu (CARTOGA Mindanao) –Vicepresident, Jennylind Demerre (ATON) Secretary, Zandro Zabalo (PPPTGA) t–Treasurer, Ricky Enriquez (PTGA) – Auditor.
24:13”But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. On the other hand, the disciples got nothing from their fishing because they did it by their own capacity. The reason for this was; they misunderstood Jesus that was no longer with them. They had forsaken by Jesus although not. It was only their presumptions about Jesus whom they believed and trusted so costing to P18 million were also implemented in response to the phenomenon,” she said. In addition, gov. Matba said that in 2015, the DRRM program of the province has also provided assistance to affected families in the form of family food packs, emergency shelter assistance and burial assistance amounting to P8.266,949.92. Gov. Matba also acknowledged that the participation of the community is instrumental in the effort to mitigate the effects of environmental hazards through their involvement in rehabilitating degraded areas that include the production of about 2.8 million seedlings for planting in the degraded areas of the province and Mangrove reforestation and rehabilitation were also carried out by planting propagules to about 215 hectares of degraded mangrove areas. “Our efforts in this area earned for us a national recognition, placing 2nd in the 2015 National Gawad Kalasag Search for Disaster Resilient LGUs and Humanitarian Assistance in Provincial DRRMC Category,” gov. Matba said. Also, gov. Matba said that another key point in the drive to promote environmental integrity is the approval of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Plans (ESWMP) of the five municipalities of the province. The plans of the remaining LGUs are already up for deliberation and hope to be completed by the end of this year. (NCLM, PIA-Agusan del Norte)

pro-active participants in building the future of our province.” In his speech, del Rosario announced the birth of his governance slogan, “AMA”, which is short for “Abilidad at Malasakit” (Competence and Empathy). The catchword, as he put it, signifies his intention to do well as both a no-nonsense local chief executive and a responsible and overly-concerned father to his constituents. “I want my leadership to be remembered for being a model of transformative leadership and for
much. This means that if we will do a certain thing alone, we have nothing unless God intervenes. John 15:5”I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. The good news: when Jesus was with them, they got more than enough fishes. Therefore, invite God in all your endeavors to make it more fruitful.
affording our people to enjoy the basic amenities of life,” he stressed. He expounded that his administration will put high premium to adequately providing gainful jobs, decent homes, universal healthcare and social services and other programs. Del Rosario said the crucial interventions will transcend his people from survival to subsistence, and eventually to sustainable and selfreliant status. He further enjoined the provincial bureaucracy to be well familiar with his 10-point development agenda, spelled as Balanced ecology, Enhanced agri-aquaculture, Sustainable tourism, Transformative leadership, People empowerment; Education and sports; Optimum health and social services; Public-private partnership; Link to the world; Employment and livelihood opportunities. The Governor affirmed the strategy is very much aligned with the 8-point economic agenda of President Rodrigo Duterte.

For Lobregat, the effectivity of the anti-drug campaign or any program will really commence from the barangay considering that it is the smallest form of government nearest to the people and is in touch with the constituents as well.
