BAP supports BPI move to resolve internal system error THE Bankers Association of the Philippines (BAP) expressed confidence on Ayala-led Bank of the Philippine Islands’ (BPI) move to correct its internal system error. This after BPI, on Wednesday morning, discovered that internal system glitch resulted in mis-posting of its clients bank transactions from April 27 to May
2, with the accounts registering either debits or credits that were way less than or more than what the actual amount of the accounts have. Clients turned to social media to air their gripes, especially since BPI temporarily suspended the operations of its electronic channels such as online banking and
the automated teller machines (ATMs). BPI suspended the operations of its ATMs to prevent those whose accounts have increased in amount unintentionally from withdrawing funds that they do not own. The bank said it had fully restored the operations of its
ATMs Thursday. In a statement, BAP said it believes on BPI’s moves “to resolve the internal system issues they encountered as they now proceed to fully restore normal service operations.” To further service its clients, BPI allowed its branches to open up to 7:30 p.m. last Wednesday
and Thursday. BAP cited that “in general, while system glitches are not uncommon, banks are fully equipped to cope with such and continue business transactions.” “ We do not believe that this incident will affect the Bank’s ability to service its See ERROR, page 15

Fresh fighting in Marawi: 16 hurt mark francisco, Section Editor EDITOR: RUEL V. PELONE

By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City–– At least 16 soldiers were wounded in action (WIA) in a fresh firefight between government troops and Maute Group Friday. The wounded Marine troopers were transported from Marawi to a medical facility in Iligan City on board military trucks late Friday afternoon. Soldiers escorting the WIAs said security forces tried to retake the Mapandi Bridge that resulted to the wounding of their comrades. The military could not yet confirm if there were killed in action. Early Friday morning jet fighters had launched a new round of bombing sortie targeting the city’s conflict zone, specifically in Barangay Bangolo, one of the three remaining villages which has Maute presence. Lieutenant Jo-Ar Herrera, spokesperson of the Phil. Army’s 1st Infantry Division, said the Maute

Escaped female Marawi inmate yields to BJMP By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Before the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) found her Thursday morning, a female inmate that escaped from the city’s prison facility was actually living undetected with the evacuees in a temporary shelter inside the Provincial Capitol in Marawi City. Regina Permundo was one of the escapees of the Marawi City Jail following the attack of the Maute Group last May 23 that led to the fighting between the terrorists and government troops. Jail Inspector Ali Macatanong, the prison warden, said Permundo was imprisoned for violation of RA 9165. Permundo, who was jailed since January 2017, was caught in possession of illegal drugs. She was the sixth and the first female inmate recovered by the BJMP-Marawi, which housed more than a hundred prisoners prior to the siege. Macatanong said they found Permundo just as she stepped out of the toilet of the Bureau of Fire Protec-
tion building inside the capitol compound Thursday morning. “I was trying to find a place to park when we saw her and recognized her as one of the inmates,” Macatanong said, adding that she made no attempt to run away when she saw the BJMP officials. He said Permundo told them it was her intent to turn herself in to the authorities. In an interview, Permundo said she stayed with her parents-in-law in a village in Marawi then moved to the evacuation center at the capitol compound on May 30. She said she mingled with the evacuees and was afforded the services and aid given by the government and private groups. She said she was tempted to go to Iligan but decided against it since she is among the escapees and was well aware she is wanted by the authorities. Macatanong said all the escaped detainees were brought to the city jail in Iligan since they could not be brought back to Marawi for security reasons. See FEMALE, page 15
NDFP mobilizes NPA, Moro allies v Maute, Abu By Antonio L. Colina IV MindaNews
THE National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) has instructed its affiliated group, the Moro Revolutionary Liberation Organization (MRLO), operating within the embattled Marawi City to assume home defense tasks against the Maute and Abu Sayyaf terrorist groups. In a statement released Wednesday, NDFP peace negotiating panel chair Fidel Agcaoili said they have also directed the New People’s Army (NPA) to redeploy troops near Marawi “for the purpose of mopping up, holding and blocking operations.” He said members of the MRLO and the NPA can coordinate and cooperate NDFP peace negotiating panel chair Fidel Agcaoili. with the military but emphasized they MindaNews file photo by Froilan Gallardo

There is no bilateral ceasefire agreement signed between government (GRP) and NDFP. Although during the fourth round of talks held from April 3 to 7 in The Netherlands, the parties signed an agreement on Interim Joint Ceasefire, which is supposed to take effect upon the approval and signing of the ground rules and will be effective until a permanent ceasefire agreement is forged as part of the Comprehensive Agreement on End of Hostilities and Disposition of Forces (CAEHDF).

Is Ombudsman fixated to oust Cagayn de Oro mayor?
LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…” (Philippians 2:3, the Holy Bible). -oooIS OMBUDSMAN FIXATED TO REMOVE CDO MAYOR? Does Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales have an obsession to oust Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno from being the chief executive of the so-called “golden city of the South”? I ask this question because of the Ombudsman’s latest order dismissing Moreno once more from his position, which is actually the second order of dismissal against him already. Of course, Morales may justify her actions against Moreno by saying there is evidence that warrants the mayor’s removal from office and that the Ombudsman was simply acting pursuant to law, in relation to charges that he committed graft by renting heavy equipment to pursue road construction projects without bidding. But, considering Morales’ track record in refusing to investigate many lawmakers in connection

did: berating the driver and repeatedly asking if the driver did not know who he, the official, was, and hurling invectives against the driver, only because that driver insisted filling up first. Indeed, how could somebody occupying a high and lofty position, in a government agency as sensitive as the SBMA, stoop so low as to personally confront a lowly driver only on account of who gets to gas up first? What was the official thinking in the first place---that because he was high up at the SBMA, he is already entitled to deference from everyone?

The question is, what is the guarantee that a problem of this nature will not happen again in the future, not only with BPI, but with the other equally prominent and heavyweight banks in the Philippines as well?

Is there anyone out there reading this column now who could tell me why? -oooBPI GLITCH TO CAUSE COLLAPSE OF COMPUTER BANKING IN RP? The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) computer glitch which has discomforted many of its depositors nationwide is truly a scary prognosis of the future of computer banking in the country. I mean, if this happened to a smaller bank, it would have been understandable and could be simply passed off as, well, just a computer glitch. But that this happened, and is still happening now on a countrywide scale, to BPI, tells us that the problem it is experiencing with its computers is not just a simple glitch, but a computer problem of gargantuan and epic proportions that has just compromised the entirety of computerized banking in the country, and may yet cause its collapse.
I consider his very personal situation. Anyway, it seems we have no more time and no reason for laughter if we look around. That can wait until tomorrow or better until the day after tomorrow. Anticipation is better.... Our enemies laugh up their sleeves, and most of the time we miss to recognize the fortune still smiling at us. But hold on: he who laughs last, laughs longest. Remember? American neurologist Henri Rubenstein says, laughter lowers high blood pressure while aiding digestion and fostering sleep. Well, give me even a simple
smile and believe in what experts say: “Good humor can help the gravely or terminally ill to hear their ordeal”. Of course, if we look around us these days, we might really don’t roar with laughter or split our sides laughing. Or even more than this! Have you heard about the incident at the Danish Imperial Theatre in Copenhagen/Denmark sometime during the 1980s, when a spectator dropped dead of a heart attack while watching the movie “A Fish Called Wanda” starring John Cheese of my favorite Great Britain’s Monty Python Comedy Team? Sure, a heart attack is indeed not funny, and honestly, I still love to watch this movie on VHS. Well, even if we think we
don’t have reason to laugh, we should try to express mirth spontaneously, and we should try to be merry or gay. We still have reasons to start with the softest form of audible laughter - the vocalized smile. This is what I learned and experienced from the first moment on while travelling in Asia since 1978, and being an expat living in the Philippines since 1999 for good. Keep smiling - even you are overloaded with huge problems. Experts also say good humor works because it helps people feel easier in mind. The French psychotherapist Sylvie Tenenbaum stressed, that, in her patients, laughter often signals the dawning of a wholesome awakening to reality. Gallow humor

Addiction and Laxity
By Jun Ledesma PNA
It is final and the verdict is out. Terrorism is not what killed 37 employees, gamblers and guests in Resorts World. It was the morbid fear of ISIS. A woman saw a hooded man with a rifle and the cried ISIS!. The same way Rappler in a kneejerk judgment pinned ISIS on
Letters from Davao its wall while covering the unraveling of events that happened in the gambling mecca. Perhaps it was because the victims have seen too much of the unexpurgated and gory scenes of captives being decapitated in the Maute ISIS siege of
Marawi which were posted on Facebook. When they heard someone yelled ISIS and seeing what Rappler permanently pinned on its domain, that sent the 37 cowering in fear and hid in a crowded room. They’d rather die of suffocation than be decapitated.
It turned out the indiscriminate firing was not aimed at anyone. It was carried out by a lone desperate gambler who can hardly aim his gun on a person. While he has gone bonkers over his millions of loses in gambling he had also lost control of his mental faculties and decided to end his life in the most See LAXITY, page 15

Youth benefits from aggie dept’s Internship Program – A total of 35 summer youth interns were handed-over with their certificates of completion on June 8, 2017 at the El Garaje, DA-RFO 10 Compound, in the city of Cagayan de Oro. This was done after they have fulfilled in rendering their services from May 8 – June 8, 2017, in one of the national government agencies, here in the city, the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office 10 through the Summer Youth Internship Program. In behalf of Regional Director Carlene C. Collado, Lolita C. Zapatos, supervising administrative officer, expressed the agency’s hopes that the Program’s thrust were ultimately met, which includes extending financial assistance for their enrolment this coming academic school year while actively drawing and acquainting them the programs and projects of the government, as well. Likewise, she extended her optimism that the Program will serve as a recruitment mechanism for potential public employees in the future by the time that they will be qualified for professional employment. In return, the summer youth interns have uttered their gratitude for accommodating them during their one-month stay to have first-hand experience of working in the government. In the ensuing week, they will also be granted with their cheques as payment for their work, which is largely seen to help them augment their finances for their schooling. # (JLOlson, DA-RFO 10)

Do not waste your time on the things that can cause your stress T he G os p e l o f J esus C hrist (June11, 2017-Sunday) Luke11:47-54 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers. Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles,
and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. Are you condemning wrong doings? Phari-
sees believed that their good doings to the dead prophets can eradicate the wrongs doings of their ancestors. This is also the same with us because we do good to blind the people for the wrong doings we have done secretly. The painful reality: they took care the dead prophets but rejecting the living prophet in their times which was Jesus Christ. They made the wrong
choice and preference in life because they devoted their attentions and interests to the lesser in value.Jesus was greater in value but they never recognized him in front of them. They rejected Jesus because they were insecure of his wisdom. Sometimes we are liked these people because we have a poor decision and choices in life. We invested more time in none sense things rather
than useful and productive things. We focused on earthly things rather than our creator. We focused on the problems rather than the solutions. Do not waste your time on the things that can cause your stress in life. You need to focus to God rather than anything else: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa - Jordan and Crespina Ranoa - Bobong Balino– Cagayan De Oro: # 09187148435:

The Last Full Swing on the implementation of K-12, 2017 By RONIE PATAY COBERO, MAEd-Mathematics Upper Montol Elementary School Upper Montol, Bonifacio, Misamis Occidental BONIFACIO EAST DISTRICT
“Naninindigan pa rin po tayo sa ipinangako nating pagbabago sa edukasyon: ang gawin itong sentral na estratehiya sa pamumuhunan sa pinakamahalaga nating yaman: ang mamamayang Pilipino. Sa K to 12, tiwala tayong mabibigyang-lakas si Juan dela Cruz upang mapaunlad—hindi lamang ang kanyang sarili at pamilya—kundi maging ang buong bansa. “– Pangulong Benigno S. Aquino III The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middlelevel skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. Every Filipino child now has access to early childhood education through Universal Kindergarten.
At 5 years old, children start schooling and are given the means to slowly adjust to formal education. Research shows that c h i l d r e n w h o u n d e rwent Kindergarten have better completion rates than those who did not. Children who complete a standards-based Kindergarten program are better prepared, for primary education. Education for children in the early years lays the foundation for lifelong learning and for the total development of a child. The early years of a human being, from 0 to 6 years, are the most critical period when the brain grows to at least 60-70 percent of adult size In Kindergarten, students learn the alphabet, numb ers , shap es , and colors through games, songs, and dances, in their Mother Tongue. Students are able to learn best through their first language, their Mother Tongue (MT). Twelve (12) MT languages have been introduced for SY 2012-2013: Bahasa Sug, Bikol, Cebuano, Chabacano, Hiligaynon, Iloko, Kapampangan, Maguindanaoan, Meranao, Pangasinense, Tagalog, and

Waray. Other local languages will be added in succeeding school years. Aside from the Mother Tongue, English and Filipino are taught as subjects starting Grade 1, with a focus on oral fluency. From Grades 4 to 6, English and Filipino are gradually introduced as languages of instruction. Both will become primary languages of instruction in Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS). After Grade 1, every student can read in his or her Mother Tongue. Learning in Mother Tongue also serves as the foundation for students to learn Filipino and aside from the Mother Tongue, English and Filipino are taught as subjects starting Grade 1, with a focus on oral fluency. From Grades 4 to 6, English and Filipino are gradually introduced as languages of instruction. Both will become primary languages of instruction in Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS). After Grade 1, every student can read in his or her Mother Tongue. Learning in Mother Tongue also serves as the foundation for students to learn Filipino and English easily. Subjects are taught from
the simplest concepts to more complicated concepts through grade levels in spiral progression. As early as elementary, students gain knowledge in areas such as Biology, Geometry, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Algebra. This ensures a mastery of knowledge and skills after each level. For example, currently in High School, Biology is taught in 2nd Year, Chemistry in 3rd Year, and Physics in 4th Year. In K to 12, these subjects are connected and integrated from Grades 7 to 10. This same method is used in other Learning Areas like Math. Senior High School is two years of specialized upper secondary education; students may choose a specialization based on aptitude, interests, and school capacity. The choice of career track will define the content of the subjects a student will take in Grades 11 and 12. SHS subjects fall under either the Core Curriculum or specific Tracks. There are seven Learning Areas under the Core Curriculum. These are L anguages, Literature, Communication, Mathematics, Philosophy, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. Current content from some General Education subjects are embedded in the SHS curriculum. Each student in Senior
High School can choose among three tracks: Ac a d e m i c ; Te c h n i c a l Vocational-Livelihood; and Sports and Arts. The Academic track includes three strands: Business, Accountanc y, Management (BAM); Humanities, Education, Social Sciences (HESS); and Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM). Students undergo immersion, which may include earn-while-youlearn opportunities, to provide them relevant exposure and actual experience in their chosen track. After going through Kindergarten, the enhanced Elementar y and Junior High curriculum, and a specialized Senior High program, every K to 12 graduates will be ready to go into different paths – may it be further education, employment, or entrepreneurship. Every graduate will be equipped with: Information, media and technology skills, Learning and innovation skills, Effective communication skills, and Life and career skills. And this year, its full implementation is expected to happen even DepED has just began to add more school rooms, and teachers, and this, K-12 program will surely be adopted the Filipino way of educating themselves.

bizarre fashion. He burned the gambling table and the slot machines and the thick carpet where too often in the past he walked his way to win over the dealer and then later to his perdition. He planned his death wish. Who knows he had wanted to impart a lesson to those who, like him, are hooked to gambling? To let that lesson sink he bathed himself in gas, set himself on fire and, while burning, with his remaining strength and consciousness shot himself to death. If all he wanted was to end his life, he could have done it in his home where his family had deserted him. Or, simply jump in the murky water of Pasig. No, he opted to do his final act in the casino where his misfortunes started. He was not a terrorist, not an ISIS as ISIS and Rappler had claimed he was. Jessie J. Carlos was an inveterate, compulsive and a gambling addict. While he caused the commotion and set Resorts World partially on fire, he actually did not shoot anyone. Yet, 38 people died, including himself. Until his last breath, Carlos may have thought he sufficiently and effectively delivered a message about what brought him to his madness and death. While he was in agony and burning Carlos may have managed to smile with the thought that he never killed anyone but himself. But who should therefore answer for those who died? The owner and management of the casino and the security detail must be liable. It looked like the security details were the first to run. The firemen acted too slow and were taking their time as if eternity was on their side. In the video taken, while some people were exiting from the main entrance, firemen can be seen “strolling” like it was moonlight night. The same video monitors showed that only one man was leisurely taking his time setting two baccarat tables on fire. AT this point it wouldn’t need a James Bond to know that only one suspect was involved. This therefore begs the question: Where were the security personnel and the policemen when Rome was burning? Why did it take the firemen, with all their gears, eternity to check on rooms and closets? Had they done what standard procedures dictate maybe those who have lost consciousness because of suffocation may have been resuscitated. Laxity, vulnerability and failures are what describe the deathly fiasco. Employees who died obviously do not know where the nearest exits are located. Security personnel were also in limbo and saved themselves first. Management instinct of self-preservation worked but only to recover the chips. What transpired at Re-
sorts World Casino is an expensive lesson not only for other gaming joints but for hotels, restos, convention centers, theaters, malls and sports and entertainment arenas. On the other hand, those with symptoms of gambling addiction, better put on the brakes, shift to other entertainments, go on a cruise (but skip the casinos) a family vacation and some . You will lose nothing but your slim figure but gain affection, closeness and the gift of love. Off the cellphones and communicate. You not only save on batteries but maybe your family and life.

Ann Hofer, approved HB 1930 subject to style and amendments and in compliance with the requirements set by the Technical Skills and Development Authority (TESDA). Hopefully this measure shall be approved in plenary by Congress, gain Senate approval and become a law within the year,” Rep. Uy said. Dr. Herbert Glenn Reyes Presidential Assistant for External Affairs of the USTP, told the Committee that the USTP Board of Regents would discuss House Bill 1930 in its meeting in June 2017. HR 957 inquiry started “The Committee also started its inquiry into the consequences of CHED Resolution No. 338-2015 (April 27, 2015) that ordered the closure via phase out of all 11 BSU-ESCs in Misamis Oriental. This puts the education of more than 4,000 mostly poor students in jeopardy. Government is mandated to expand public tertiary education. CHED should in fact help these BSU-ESCs attain compliance or make alternatives possible instead of just closing them down,” Rep. Uy said. The BSU-ESCs are located in the towns of Alubijid, Kinoguitan, Libertad, Magsaysay, Manticao, Medina, Salay, Talisayan, Sugbongcogon and the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Gingoog. “The Committee also carried our appeal for the CHED to rescind or hold in abeyance its closure order on the BSU-ESCs,” Uy added. CHED Quality Assurance Division Chief Sylvette Gunigundo told the House panel that the assailed resolution was issued due “to the non-compliance of the BSUESCs with the Commission’s policies and standards and

Sindac, chief of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao police, Maute was captured in Barangay Tamboro Cormatan in Masiu, Lanao del Sur with seven
other women. Other reports said the group had with them two wounded individuals believed to relatives of the elder Maute. Sindac said in an interview, the Maute and her companions were on board a Toyota Revo and were in transit when arrested by police. Seized from the suspects were assorted firearms and ammunitions. It was learned that law enforcers had been tracking down Maute who was reportedly being purchasing vehicles and weapons as they were planning their exit out of Lanao del Sur. Maute was alleged to be helping his two sons, Abdullah and Omarkhayyam, in their operations. The Maute Group are fighting the government forces in Marawi City since May 23 when law enforcers tried to arrest Isnilon Hapilon, a known Abu Sayyaf leader. Their father, Cayamora Maute, has already been arrested in a checkpoint in Sirawan, Davao City, on June 7. The Marawi siege has already displaced thousands of residents fleeing the fighting and has caused the deaths of dozens of soldiers, insurgents, and civilians. The military said it is expected to neutralize the Maute Group, who has been occupying certain areas in Marawi’s downtown district, this Monday, June 12, in time for the celebration of the Philippine Independence Day. The Maute Group has pledged allegiance to the Middle East-based terrorist organization the Islamic State. Meanwhile, an adult female who shares the Maute surname, has held for questioning here night. Chief Inspector Ariel Philip Pontillas, chief of the city police’s intelligence unit, said the woman who identified herself as a teacher at a school Marawi, had checked in at a hotel in that city. Pontillas said it was the hotel management who informed them of a guest surnamed Maute. He said the teacher explained that she came from Marawi but denied she is involved with the Maute Group. “After a thorough verification and coordination from the intelligence community, we found out she has no involvement in the Maute Group. She was cleared,” Pontillas said in an interview Saturday. The teacher was on her way to Surigao to be with her husband and stayed the night in Cagayan de Oro before proceeding there, he said.

He also debunked reports that the Marawi City Jail was burned saying the prison was not destroyed although the city police office beside was gutted by fire. The warden said there was no Maute Group member among the prisoners adding that many of the inmates were serving time for drug-related offenses. He said it was probable that the terrorists freed the prisoners in hopes of recruiting them. Meanwhile, Jail Senior Superintendent Mamerto Delloro Jr., the regional director of the BJMP in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, said they are hunting down escaped prisoners and are checking all the evacuation centers in Marawi, Iligan, and Lanao del Norte in hopes of finding some of them who may have stayed with the evacuees. Delloro said they will be conducting the search for the prisoners in coordination with the police and the military.

Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms (CASER) in the fifth rounds scheduled on May 27 to June 2 in The Netherlands but the GRP backed out following President Rodrigo Duterte’s order to the government panel not to sit across the negotiating table “until such time as there are clear indications that an enabling environment conducive to achieving just and sustainable peace in the land” can be had. It was the President’s reaction to the NDFP’s instruction to NPA units to intensify offensives across the country with Duterte’s declaration of martial law in Mindanao. It was the second time the GRP-NDFP talks were cancelled. The first was in Febru-
ary when NPA spokesperson Jorge Madlos announced on Feb. 1 they were terminating their unilateral ceasefire effective Feb. 10. Duterte announced two days later that the government was lifting its unilateral ceasefire, too. On March 10 to 11, the GRP and NDFP peace negotiating panels held backchannel talks in Utrecht, The Netherlands in hope to revive the peace talks. “The GRP is culpable in the first place for waging a nationwide all-out war policy of aerial bombardments and artillery attacks against the revolutionary forces and people since last year and has aggravated this policy by proclaiming martial law all over Mindanao, far beyond Marawi and the bailiwicks of the Maute and Abu Sayyaf terrorist groups,” Agcaoili said. He urged Duterte to lift the government’s all-our war policy and martial law that was declared on May 23. Agcaoili encouraged the President to allow the GRP negotiating panel to meet with their counterpart from the NDFP to discuss ceasefire and possible coordination and cooperation between the government and communist forces against terrorists groups in Marawi and other areas. “The localized ceasefire, coordination and cooperation can be agreed upon if the GRP and NDFP negotiating panels meet first and discuss matters in detail,” he said. He said it is not late for a meeting between GRP and NDFP negotiating panels “because the terrorist attack on Marawi might still be prolonged or if suppressed soon, might recur in other parts of Bangsamoro.” “The US, anti-Duterte sections of the AFP and PNP and local anti-Duterte parties and groups have already begun a campaign of destabilizing the Duterte regime for the purpose of overthrowing this with a coup,” Agcaoili said.

Butuan’s math wizard shines in Xiamen, China
A 9-year-old boy from Butuan City won the coveted gold during the five-day International Math Wizards Competition held in Xiamen, China from May 19 to 24, this year. Skye Andrei Arreza Padilla, son of Dr. Frederick A. Padilla and Cherry Mae A. Padilla, vested contestants from Thailand, China, and Malaysia to bring home the coveted gold medal award. The victory has placed Butuan, a Southern Philippine City in Agusan Del Norte, 800 miles from Manila, in the map of the mathematical wizards in the international arena. The young math wizard, a Grade 3 pupil of Rainbow of Angels Learning Center, underwent a 12-session training at the Mathematics Trainor’s Guild Center in Butuan before he qualified for the Young Mathematicians in House
Intensive Training Program in Ilo- ilo City last April 2 to 6, 2017. From Ilo- ilo City, Padilla qualified as one of the challengers to be admitted to the Mathematics, Academy of the Philippines, where he underwent another five weeks intensive training for the Math Olympiad Summer Training Program at St. Stephen’s High School in Manila. Completing his rigid training in Manila, Padilla, accompanied by his mother Cherry Mae, flew to Xiamen, China as one of the delegates from the Philippines to compete in the prestigious international math competition. Padilla is the grandson of Engr. Edgardo Padilla and Florence Aligado Padilla. His great grandfather was the former Butuan City Councilor Federico Padilla. CRIS DIAZ, EXECUTIVE EDITOR
