DAVAO CITY -- The government and the National Democratic Front must resume peace negotiations that have been stalled since early last month after both sides terminated their unilateral ceasefire declarations amid mutal accusations of bad faith, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa said Friday.

De la Rosa, 55, told reporters during the launch of the Regional Women and Children’s Protection Desk at Camp Quintin M. Merecido that he was already frustrated over the endless fighting and he wanted to see it end before he retires from service next year.

The mandatory retirement age for soldiers and police is 56.

“Walang Pilipino na gustong pumatay ng Pilipino.

Governor Uy told the more than 200 business leaders from all 11 municipalities that the four policies were in response to the need of “more innovative approaches” to empower businesses, investors and entrepreneurs.

The provincial government, with the help of the Department of Trade and Industr y, would strengthen the campaign to enhance the ease of doing business in the province and municipalities.

Eight decades after, Davao City soars high DAVAO CITY -- Eighty years ago on March 1, 1937, Davao formally became a city in an inauguration attended by then Interior Secretary Elpidio Quirino at the now Quezon Park, a prominent landmark located in front of the City Hall.

From the United States, the late President Manuel Quezon said the cityhood of Davao was “important in international

trade” as it “brings realization to one of my long cherished plans of affording your city every opportunity to make great strides in its political, social, and economic development.”

Quezon’s vision was to make Davao a “progressive and model urban center.”

Quirino administered the oath-taking of the first mayor of the city, Santiago Artiaga. The

seven members of the first city council were also present.

The creation of the city was also seen as a reaction to the increasing number of foreigners gaining control over the municipality of Davao, among them Japanese businessmen who were instrumental in the vast development of lands into abaca plantations.

It was a political decision independent and capable of run- indicating that the locals were ning a government of their own.

Local historians say the See decades, page A5

DAVAO CITY -- The Bureau of Customs (BoC)-Davao Port District has seized six containers containing various contraband valued close to PHP8 million at the Davao International Container Terminal (DICT) in Panabo, Davao del Norte.

The confiscated items, consisting of a MercedesBenz brought in from Belgium, onions, coconuts, word pallets and lumber, were seized in a series of operations since December 29.

They were presented to the public by Customs Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon on Friday morning.

The imported car was valued at PHP1.888 million, onions at PHP2.245 million and Gemelina lumber at PHP3.04 million), and set

for export to China. The rest has not been valuated.

Anthony Estrella, director of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service, lauded the DICT management for their cooperation and for the effective intelligence gathering of the local BoC headed by Jamael Marohomsalic, Port of Davao District collector.

Estrella said they are also monitoring other contraband in other ports in Davao Region.

He urged traders to strictly follow the rules and pay the right taxes as the government is hell bent in running after smugglers.

The BOC has continued to wage an all-out campaign against illegal importation, smuggling and misdeclaration of goods at all ports

and airports nationwide.

The campaign also includes illegal drugs.

Violators could face charges under Republic Act 10863, or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA). The BOC has exclusive jurisdiction over all seizure and forfeiture cases as per Section 202 of CMTA. Section 301 of the CMTA further provides that “[a] ll goods, including means of transport, entering or leaving customs territory, regardless of whether they are liable to duties and taxes, shall be subject to customs control” to ensure compliance with the border security mandate of the BOC under relevant customs laws, rules and procedures.

2,000 on women’s day DAVAO DEL NORTE -- The Davao del Norte Provincial Council of Women (DNPCW) last Saturday (March 4) drew more than 2,000 women from various sectors as it held early celebration of Women’s Day. Bannering the national theme, “We Make Change Work for Women”, the event was lined up under the development agenda of Provincial Governor Anthony G. Del Rosario, bearing the acronym “BEST PEOPLE”.

Governor Del Rosario honoured the Dabawenyo women whom he viewed to have immensely evolved into talented and innovative as they have been enabled to make choices through intensive efforts to mainstream women empowerment in all development initiatives of the province.

However, he made it

clear that “setting the goal to empower women does not translate to overpowering men” and pointed out that “it is not enough for us to teach our young girls to be strong; we must also teach our young boys to respect girls and vice versa”.

“We can do this by being good role models,” he said.

On the other hand, DNPCW Provincial Adviser, Karina Anna C. Del Rosario in the same occasion cited women as “instruments of change” noting the role of women, especially mothers in moulding children.

She counted the support of the women sector in shaping Davao del Norte saying, “the wisdom and strength we show reinforces the foundation of our society”.

She viewed women as See drew, page A7

“RUDENESS” HOW TO RESPOND A POSITIVE DISCIPLINE IN THE CLASSROOM?

By MARY JANE A. NATINDIM Teacher I Patpat Elementary School Patpat, Salimbalan, Baungon, Bukidnon

One of the biggest problems that we teachers encountered in the classroom is when one or more of our pupils begins to talk back and answered our queries in a rude manner.

Rudeness is a discourteous, disrespectfulness, impoliteness that a child shows towards anybody. What could be the possible reason/s why a child might behave this way? Some reasons could be: 1. The child may not actually be attempting to be rude. It’s just that her usual manner of speaking may be misinterpreted as rudeness by others. 2. The child may have a very intense reaction to the information given. She may be scared about what will happen to her if she fails in most of her subjects. 3. The child is not yet able to handle and respond appropriately when given feedback. 4. The child may be frustrated because she could not explain herself properly. In this situation, as the teacher we can show warmth to the needy pupil through: 1. Understand that the pupil is not being disrespectful nor challenging your authority. 2. We cannot NOTICE

pre-judge. Understand that sometimes children answer rudely because they could not manage their frustrations or anger. We can provide structure in this situation.

1. Control your anger and handle the situation accordingly. 2. Tell the child how you feel when he talks back at you in a rude tone or use rude language. 3. Start your sentence with “I feel...” when talking about the effect of her behaviour on you. 4. Remind the child about the class rules.

Tell the child that you want to help her perform better in school. How can we respond to this attitude? Responding with Positive Discipline can be done this way: 1. Instead of getting angry and punishing the child, let us calm down and manage our anger. We can tell the child that we felt disrespected when they spoke rudely to us and mention the exact word that offended us to let her know that words can be hurtful. 2. Acknowledge the child’s feelings of anger,

frustration, and fear about the possible consequences of having low grades. Let us give them assurance that we want to help them succeed. We have to listen to the child’s response or explanation. Ask her what she thinks she should do to resolve this issue. Allow the child to analyze the issues and propose solutions. Teacher can help the child evaluate the solutions to identify which is best for her. We can teach the child how to express her feelings appropriately and how to react properly in a challenging situation.

The Academic Tracking System - Benefits and Woes

By ROBERT JOHN G.TUPAS RN, RM, MAN Teacher II Alae,National High School Alae,Manolo,Fortich,Bukidnon

In 2012, the Department of Education implemented the K-12 program in the Philippines.

This means that after finishing for years of Junior High School (Grade 7 to Grade 10), completers of the JHS will undergo two (2) more years of Senior High School before entering college.

This article will discuss pros and cons of one of the important parts of the K-12 program: the academic tracking system.

Overview An integral part of the Senior High program is the application of the academic tracking system. In this system, students will be classified under a certain strand that best fits their interests or their skills and capabilities. Different schools have different academic tracks, or “strands”. But the four (4) main strands are Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Science,

financially incapacitated, thus would belong to the “upper” strands such as STEM and ABM. Also, this would create more labels and stereotypes that are associated with a certain strand, creating more rifts among Senior High students.

The fact that some strands are deemed to be easier or hassle-free, this cultivates the idea that those who belong to the “upper” strands are the ones who are more capable of getting a better education, or even attaining more in life.

As a conclusion, these are valid points that have been discussed by many educational institutions all around the world. As a first step forward to forming a better youth for tomorrow, one should consider this points and must choose to either fit in or stand out.

EFFECTIVE READING INSTRUCTORS

EDITORIAL

Rene Michael BaÑos uRIEL C. QUILINGUING Regional Editor Northmin Contributing Editor

Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and the General Academic Strand (GAS). There are also strands for students who are interested in vocational and technical training (TechVoc).

The Benefits The term “ability grouping” is vital in this discussion. Ability grouping is the method of dividing students into classes based on their overall achievement or their academic capabilities. This is already present in the educational system in the Philippines (honors/science sections and general sections).

In the context of SHS, students are segregated based on their general interests. For example, students who like to study math and science would most likely enroll in STEM, or for those who have a passion for the arts and humanities, HUMSS is their go-to strand.

This system helps students learn more quickly by having subjects that are based on

their interests. Also, being in a class with people who have the same interests as they are means that they will be placed in an environment that is suitable for their growth as Senior High students in that specific strand.

The Woes This system has long been debated on in terms of its relevance and effectiveness.

For one, students especially in their age (around 15 to 17 years old) should not be simply categorized into a single strand. Many students may even be forced to enroll to a particular strand out of pressure, or because the strand that they would have wanted cannot accommodate them because of their educational attainment. A lot of students may opt to choose a “lower” strand because they cannot achieve the academic requirements needed to enroll.

With this main problem, this breeds the culture of more divide among the youth, especially of different backgrounds.

Students who are well-off most likely have a good educational background than those who are

learners. Extensive professional development of teachers produced significant resultTeachers should be trained to specialist teachers to assist pupils with difficulties in literacy. Teacher should tap into the power of parents. Involving parents in their child’s development of literacy and language skills has very positive outcomes for children. Parents may need support on how best to support their child with reading; following text, asking questions about the

text, noticing letter sound patterns, rhyming words. Teachers/ school may need to consider demonstrating to parents some of the above skills. One way to increase parent involvement in reading instruction is to train parents to tutor/help their children and implement effective reading interventions.

In schools that are situated in areas of economic and social disadvantage, some parents may feel unable to become actively involved due to their own lack of reading confidence and/or reading competence.

Effective literacy programmes should also help parents learn

how to teach their children specific literacy skills. Parental involvement leads to positive outcomes for pupils especially n the lower grades therefore the schools together with the teachers should extend efforts to help parent. Co-operative Learning and Peer Support.

Teachers may also consider relatively low-cost interventions, such as peer reading programmes, as there is evidence that peers can be effective in raising reading standards, both through co-operative learning.

Generally, it is a highly effective intervention among children: the peer tutoring approach.

RESPONDING WITH POSITIVE DISCIPLINE on DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR (TALKING IN THE CLASS)

By LARAN C. CENIA Teacher I Patpat Elementary School Patpat, Salimbalan, Baungon, Bukidnon

Teachers cannot control pupils’ behaviours. Many incidents that pupil keep on talking and laughing during the lesson. The noise disrupts the class and the whole classroom setting. What could be the possible reason/s why a pupil behave that way?. The following could be:1. Some of their classmates cannot control their laughter. 2. The children may have seen something outside the that caught their interest. 3. The children may be getting bored with the

lesson. 4. The children may be talking about something else.

In this situation, we can show warmth to our pupils through: 1. We have to understand that some children can be easily distracted. 2. We have to understand that they have different interests and learning styles; some learn faster through discussions, while some learn better through activities. 3. Some children may not always be aware of the effect of their actions on others. As the manager of our

classroom, we can provide structures to the learners.

First, ask them calmly what is happening. Let the children share what they were talking and laughing about. Second, tell them that you and the other pupils are distracted by noise.

Third, remind them about the rules they have set. Fourth, remind them that conversations about other topics may be done between classes and during recess time, and lastly provide interactive discussions or activities so everyone can participate.

We cannot throw eraser or chalk to them, nor shout at them in front of their class-

mates. Instead, we have to control our anger and ask them in a calm voice what is going on. The teacher may explain to the child that noise can distract the teacher’s teaching and thinking process, and it is also distracting to their classmates.

We can remind them the rules of listening and that the pupils are part of creating those rules.

Lets us remind the whole class about the classroom rules and explain well the importance of listening. A teacher also can introduce innovative teaching methods where interaction can be seen such as role-playing, dance or action song so that everybody could participate.

Aspiration of Every Educator

By Anita T. Damaolao-Teacher III Quezon Central Elementary School Quezon,Bukidnon

I believe that life is how you create it. It is on how you make your daily living productive and yourself motivated. Might it be that you want to relish positive change or have an advocacy that you fight for, the important thing on this however is how it impact your mind and system.

If it motivates you and if these things are the reason you love

living. These are the things that I keep on reminding my students. That it is important for them to chase their dreams and be happy about it because it’s one things that makes living worthwhile. ` As a teacher, I know that it is not just my job to teach my children about how to do division or multiplication, it

is part of my job to develop children and envelope in their mind to have goals, maintain the right attitude and stay grounded with values and aspiration. It is also my task to put in their mind that they should do good in school, for this is one of the keys that would open up a brighter future. A true teacher is someone who supports his students to achieve their dreams. And doing so does not just depend on teaching

them the lessons of different subjects, but also providing them wisdom, guidance and life lessons they need in order to be people of the future.

If there’s one person who would be so happy seeing her former succeed in life, then it could be the teacher. For a someone who spent so much effort in molding individuals to be the best that they can be, seeing the excellence of a former student is but a recognition.

triumph that the people felt with the newly-earned autonomy was shown by their excitement to participate in the events prepared by both the newly-born city government and the private organizations.

The announcement from the government was specific -- for the Dabawenyos to come out on the streets and join the inauguration “in their best attire to witness, join and perform in their assigned roles...”

Davao historian Ernesto Corcino wrote that a threehour civic parade was staged that day.

Publication Notice R.A. 10172

Monday, March 13, 2017

Another historian, 89-year-old Librada “Libby” Rufo, said the parade’s route was limited only in three major streets of the new city - Oyanguren Street, Claveria Street, and Hospital Avenue, now called J.P. Laurel Avenue.

The parade ended at the San Pedro Street, exactly in front of the City Hall, according to Rufo. It is the city’s oldest street, named after the equally oldest church in the city, San Pedro Church.

“There were only a few people then, and everyone knew each other,” she said.

There were only about 68,000 people in Davao the time it was declared a

city. Most of the residents of downtown Davao were immigrants from Luzon.

“The language predominantly used in Davao then was Tagalog because the residents were immigrants from Luzon,” she said.

During the war in early the 1940s, it was said that the longest battle to liberate the country from occupation happened in Davao City -- lasting for six months until the surrender of the Japanese in 1945.

“Davao’s destruction, followed by a swell of thousands of guerrillas who wanted to squat on formerJapanese owned plantations, together with a deluge of sickly refugees from the

mountains, added to the physical and economic problems of the city,” an article on Davao history said.

The rebuilding of the city was aided by the deluge of war veterans and investors after the war. Davao gradually blossomed, its economic growth spurred by agriculture and trade - its lands becoming host to high-value crops that even these days, provided the people livelihood and employment.

“After the war, Bisaya became the lingua franca,” said Rufo.

Soaring high After eight decades, Davao City is now the center of trade and commerce

To love God is the best move The Gospel of Jesus Christ (March 13, 2017-Monday) Matthew 5:17-19- For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but

whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven: You need to love in a package way; if you love him includes everything he loves. You need to love the nature, animals and most of all your neighbors. It is not right if your love is only in your within but you need to express it by doing the right things.

The love of God is can-

mag-reretire na. (No Filipino wants to kill a fellow Filipino. Peace talks have been held for years but, it seems nothing has happened. The fighting continues, but still even if we are already frustrated and I’m about to retire.) I’m still giving peace a chance,” he said.

“Wag kayo gumawa ng karahasan, wag kayo manunog ng mga heavy equipment ng plantations, construction firms na hindi nagbibigay ng pera. (Do not do violence. Do not burn heavy equipment of the plantations and construction firms who do not give money),” he said.

On the intention of the NDF to release six captives being held by the NPA, Dela Rosa called it “one of the gestures of goodwill”.

“One of the acts of goodwill pero hindi lang yan ang kinakailangan natin (but that’s not the only thing we need). Commitment talaga while naga-peace talk wag kayo pumatay ng police, wag kayo pumatay ng sundalo (We need commitment.

While there is peace talk, do not kill a police, do not kill a soldier),” he said.

The NDF identified the six captives as Pfc Edwin Salan, captured in Alegria, Surigao del Norte on January 29; Sgt. Solaiman Calucop and Pfc Samuel Garay, captured in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat on February 2; PO2 Jerome Natividad, captured in Talakag, Bukidnon on February 9; and two alleged paramilitary members Rene Doller and Carl Mark, both captured in Lupon, Davao Oriental on February 14.

In a statement on March 9, NDFP peace negotiating panel chair Fidel Agcaoili said the NDFP has approved their release.

“Discussions have been going on since between third party peace facilitators and the GRP Panel. The POWs should have been released as early as 2 March but arrangements on their safe and orderly release, as well as those of the third party peace facilitators, local government officials, ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) representatives and the custodial forces, have still to be worked out,” he said.

“On the Bansalan (Davao del Sur) incident, we still have to confirm if this was done by the NPA command in the area. There are peace

spoilers around. And people should not forget that there is no ceasefire in place at the moment, and that AFP and PNP troops have been going into villages and violating people’s rights in their combat and intelligence operations, including murderous Tokhang operations,” Agacaoili said.

In a separate statement issued on March 10, the NPA Regional Operations Command in Southern Mindanao owned up to the ambush in Bansalan.

“The New People’s Army Regional Operations Command in Southern Mindanao commends the successful tactical offensive by a squad of Red fighters belonging to the Mt. Apo Subregional Operations Command during a 15-minute ambush, which seized four firearms and subdued a PNP unit engaged in armed operations in Brgy. Sibayan, Bansalan, Davao del Sur on March 8, 2017,” it said.

It said the NPA carried out an order “to exact revolutionary justice against Marlon Lomantas, a former AFP soldier turned active intelligence agent of the 39th IB and a known drug trader and user in Brgy.

Sibayan, Bansalan.”

The slain PNP personnel were identified as PO1 Rholly Benelayo, PO1 Joey O Narvaza, PO1 Saro S Mangotara, all from Bansalan Municipal Police Staion, and PO3 Jeden Mei Rabor, a member of Scene of Crime Operatives.

Wounded in the ambush was PO3 Allen Arnado.

entrepreneurs identify potential investments areas,” he said. The centre serves as a conduit for investors looking for potential business opportunities in the province.

The provincial government enacted an investments and incentives code in 2014, but only three municipalities have so far drafted their own. A few are either updating theirs or preparing a new one. “We encourage our municipalities to enact their own to complement

the province’s incentives code,” the governor said.

Uy urged the business people to organize their local chambers to protect their interests and investments and have their own venues to address issues and concerns that impact their operation.

To enhance access to finance, the governor said the provincial investments centre will strengthen its partnership with regional and national agencies as venues for financing opportunities or other programs including trainings. “The centre will assist small and medium enterprises and cooperatives get access to loans or grants from agencies like Land Bank of the Philippines, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Labour and Employment, or Department of Science and Technology,” he said.

Peace and order, Uy said, is important to business and trade. “The good news”, he said, “is that last year the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) declared the province a ‘conflict manageable and development-ready area’.” Governor Uy chairs the Davao Region Peace and Order Council.

He said the province would continue to sustain the status by, among others, strengthen inter-agency dialogue through the Provincial Peace and Order Council, continue the close coordination with government agencies like the Philippine National Police, Department of the Interior and Local Government, and the AFP, and support the resumption of the peace talks between government and rebels.

“Creating an enabling environment is a pre-requisite to a good and healthy economy,” the governor said. Compostable Valley has been a consistent re-

cipient of the Seal of Good Local Governance for good governance, transparency, and accountability from the Department of the Interior and Local Government,” Uy said. (jimmy/tourism/cvic/ ids)
