his mandatory eight-count. That was the only punch that Garde needed to turn back the judges’ final scores. A knockdown is equal to a 10-8 score. Tanallon could have won the fight also by a majority decision if he had won the 10th round. “Disgrasya. Meron talagang ganyan sa boxing (It was unfortunate. It really happens in boxing),” said Tanallon’s trainer Dodong Desabille of Sanman Boxing Gym. Garde, 26, jumped for joy after ring announcer Marlou Neri announced him as the winner by majority decision. He received a belt awarded by T’boli Vice Mayor Grace Silva. “Pasalamat dyud ko ug dako sa atong Ginoo ug sa akong pamilya (I really

thank God and my family),” said Garde, also reigning Minproba light flyweight title holder.

PHL’s first chocolate museum opens in Davao DAVAO CITY -- The producer of the internationallyawarded Malagos Chocolates has opened the country’s first Chocolate Museum in Malagos Garden Resort in Calinan, this city. The museum complements the Malagos Cacao Farm, which straddles 30 hectares of 50-year-old rehabilitated cacao trees. Charisse Puentespina, project director and head of Charisse Puentespina Designers and Associate, said the opening of the Chocolate Museum is the “newest attraction in Davao City.” Aside from attracting visitors, Puentespina is hoping it would encourage other farmers to grow cacao and engage in sustainable farming.

“What we are proud of about the museum is the ‘tree to bar’ (chocolate) experience,” said Puentespina. “Once harvested, the cacao beans are brought to the plant where we do the chocolates so that in terms of traceability, one is sure that what they are eating is safe, she added. Puentespina, who is also in charge of production, said they want to share their cacao growing and cacao making procedures to the public. She said the plant is able to produce 15 tons of chocolates a month but “we hope to to increase production with the additional equipment and technology.” The plant is still halfmechanized as there are still portions that are manually

operated. Puentespina said the task is challenging. However, she said their foremost objective is to provide a venue to educate the youth on sustainable farming and chocolate production. The company’s chocolate maker, Rex Peuntespina, said the entrance to the museum includes a welcome information about the “tree to bar” concept, which is “very unique” compared to other museums abroad. “We should be proud that raw materials in foreign countries that have museums showcasing chocolate-making, like in Europe, source their raw materials from us,” he said. At the museum, the company teaches people how to

appreciate dark chocolates. “We show them how chocolates are made from scratch (as well as) the practices in the farm,” he said. He said it is a “must-see” in Davao City as the tour can be capped with the “make your own chocolate” in the demo area. The Malagos Chocolate is a 2-Star Winner (3-star highest) at the 2016 Great Taste competition, the “Oscars” of the food world, held in London last August. In April 2016, it won a silver award for Best Unflavoured Drinking Chocolate at the 2016 Academy of Chocolate Awards in London. It won its first award, a bronze award for Best Unfla-

Enabling pupils to love reading By Ma. Lyra L. Reycitez

Yes reading is fun and it makes us as a full man. But, sad to note that some of the pupils are slow when it comes to reading, others are even having difficulty in reading. That is why, this posts as a big challenge to us teachers on how we can ably capacitate pupils to know how to read, even further capacitating them to love reading. Teaching the basic, the

fundamental. Indeed, it is of top most priority that we teachers should teach the basic of reading. Of course, we should introduce first letters in the alphabet and the like. With this, it requires most of dedication and patience from us teachers. We cannot deny that it is not always at the first try that these pupils will learn how to read immediately; they would not learn right away. That is why we should always be

from different issues and oftentimes it comes from different causes. There are many reasons why discipline can be a problem in a classroom. One of the reasons could be teaching style. If a teacher is not reaching every one of the students, they can become bored, disinterested and restless. Every student has their own learning style and an area where they excel. If the teacher can reach these students by using a variety of methods, they are motivated and less likely to cause trouble. Another reason for discipline issues is that a teacher may be dealing with students with many personal problems such as poverty, broken family, abused, and others. The best way to respond to a discipline problem in the classroom is to understand the root of the issue. It needs managerial skill of the teacher to have a conducive classroom environment.

will feel disappointed and worst the next time we will call them, they will be shy to stand again in front. It is of normal scenario that pupils may slip words while reading in front, this at first, let the class read in unison. This will help develop unity for all and as a teacher, always acknowledge and appreciate pupil’s effort in being able to do so. Let

us entrust that reading is fun and it is more fun if the class reads. To end, we must always instill in our minds that helping and developing a pupil on how to read is a collective effort. It must be recognized that a learner’s growth is greatly factored by both contributing influences, be it at school or at home or at the community.

ready to equip ourselves with so much patience and determination as an attestation that we really want our learners, our pupils to know how to read, then make it a habit, and eventually they will love reading. Reading a piece everyday. As it takes enough patience, it requires ample time for the pupils to know how to read that is why, the moment they will know how to read, let us not stop there, it must be cultivated to become a habit. One way, is to let each learner, each pupil to read

a piece culled out from the books and let them read it in front of the class. In this way, we as well develop their selfesteem and self-confidence. Should the pupil skips a word in front, as teachers, we should always encourage them that they can, and promote an environment of pupils encouraging each other.

waste management, if not properly manage may cause major negative impact to the communities and environment as well. Water is the basic necessity and important in sustaining life. The decline of water quality endanger the health of human as well as the ecosystem. Clean drinking water, hygiene and sanitation play an important role in maintaining health. Sanitation is the hygienic means of promoting health through prevention of hu-

in a tutoring sessions or completing homework. Teens with depression may not even realized they are depressed. This can cause them to think that they are failure, a bad student or a slacker. It can also cause low motivation, which can lead to skipping class, especially if they start thinking “what’s the point”. Finally depression can cause memory problem which affects test

performance. There are many symptoms of depression-including emotional symptoms feeling they are worthless, physical symptoms like low energy not active, behavioral symptoms like change in appetite and cognitive symptoms like difficulty focusing. But there are other symptoms of depressed students like lack of sleep, poor eating habits, stress from school, including getting good grades, financial worries, failed relationship and

conflicts with classmates are enough force for some students in the universities to leave school. Depression is on rise among teens and it can definitely affect their learning. It is important to realize that it is not something that a teen will snap out of it, but needs to be dealt with properly. If your teens is struggling with depression consult a doctor so that they can get the help they need and can get the most out of their tutoring session.

Education can play a correcting role in shaping a normative culture of safety, moderation, and informed decision making. Engaging students in

drug education activities assists them to make healthy and safe choices, identify risky situations, and develop strategies to prepare them for challenging situations. Drug education includes an emphasis on developing students’ life skills and protective behaviours, promoting the range of relationships in which students can engage, ensuring that students are connected to their schooling, and external influences such as, media, family and peers.

In the context of students with special needs, the inclusive model is one where all students irrespective of their abilities and disabilities spend most of their time together. The total success of the implementation of this program is the complete understanding and awareness of the teachers, and parents with the guidance of the school administrators.

Education for all

By Samie B. Aso, SST-III OCNHS

In my voyage to the glimmering face of tomorrow, I take a single step at a time. But with pure diligence and exceptional patience, I believe billowing my dreams would be easy. At one stop I met hindrances and hurdled all the way but someone like me with an undying spirit to succeed worships no impossible but faithfully believes on what is able. Thus, right from the very start of the journey, it is the study that lightens the path, it is the schooling which carves the promise, it is the education that will push you to pursue and most importantly, it is the education which nurtures the minds. Many have the privilege to attain it. Those parents who are doctors, lawyers and other professionals like teachers have the great chances of sustaining the

educational needs of their children. Education has always been a part of our lives and will always be until the end of time. But looking outside the window, those who scavenge trash bins at night and push “karitons” at day time don’t seem to prioritize it. The instinct of having three meals a day is far more important than any other thing in this world. In the perspective of other people, they are outcasts in the bright future for they don’t have future at all. But in the field of education, no one is outcast. Everybody belongs to its provision. In our palm lies the sweet taste of a brighter side of life. The sweet taste that all should have. The unfortunate could become fortunate if an instrument acts as a Samaritan and would help them

the NDF consultants and their staff who were in jail or otherwise constrained, to physically surface and join in the peace work. Dureza said the President is fully aware of the development of the informal talks. “President Duterte himself closely monitored the efforts taken by the negotiators while in Utrecht in the Netherlands in bringing about an early breakthrough in the talks with the facilitation by the Royal Norwegian Government,” he said. The informal talks took place on March 10 to 11. Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate, vice-chair of the House Special Committee on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity, welcomed the breakthrough in the peace talks between the GRP and the communist rebels. “This is a very welcome positive development and we hope this will further advance the concrete gains achieved in the last three rounds of talks, particularly in the socio-economic , political and constitutional reforms that aim to address the root causes of the fivedecade old armed conflict in our country,” he said in a statement on Sunday. Earlier, the House Committee on Peace, Reconciliation, Unity had approved House Resolution 769 for the formal resumption of the peace negotiations with at least 140 solons signing it.

statement. “At the same time, a unilateral ceasefire that was also earlier terminated is deemed restored and reinstated but will be made effective only as soon as the respective forces of both sides are duly informed but definitely before the next round of talks in April 2017,” he added. Both the government and CPP-NPA-NDF terminated last month their unilateral ceasefires following accusations of insincerity and atrocities. President Rodrigo Duterte lifted the ceasefire after the communist rebels launched a series of attack against soldiers in Mindanao--a move seen to pressure the government to release at least 400 political prisoners. The CPP-NPA-NDF also terminated its own declaration of ceasefire on February 10. Dureza said the restored unilateral ceasefire “is a prelude to an interim bilateral ceasefire that needs further meetings between the two sides to determine and agree on rules, necessary guidelines and mechanisms.” Dureza said the effectivity of the joint agreement on safety and immunity guarantees (JASIG) that was also ordered terminated by the President has been restored to enable

wholeheartedly bringing them towards education. The government runs a lot of Samaritans. In fact, the government itself is a Samaritan. All it needs is a keen eye which is always on the look out for out-of-school youths. They don’t need to be taught proper etiquette nor fashion and luxurious lifestyle. They will learn when they understand the importance of education into achieving a bright future. Even with the slums where they live in, and the poor life they were accustomed to, they should succeed as well like the rest of the population if they would not lose the flames that ignite their determination. Conversely, education chooses no one. It is free to all and is not impossible to reach. It is simply a goal to aim and a trophy to win. No

one is exempted. Everyone who comes to it secures themselves a fruitful life. And everyone who passes it until the last generation promises an offspring with an everlasting gift. Whether the path to take is smooth or bumpy, we should always remember that it is the only road towards our desired destination – the future. After all, the condition of the road doesn’t matter, the important thing is we will arrive where we want to go. And thus along the way, it is essential to carry education with us. It has always been a gear to ease our way throughout the journey. In the end, we would thank our parents a whole bunch for they were right that education is the light and the key. Education brings empowerment to all and hopes to those who are hopeless.

Classroom Management: A Managerial Skill By Cristina M. Villaganas Teacher III Balingasag Central School

The aim of teaching is to bring about behavior change in the learner and this requires an effective management and control of the teaching – learning environment and processes. Classroom management and control are skills which are central to effective teaching and can be acquired through professional training and experience. It is also greatly linked to the teacher personality traits. Classroom management is a crucial variable in the practice of teaching because it supports the proper execution of curriculum development, creates conducive learning atmosphere, maintains discipline in class and ensures that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive “Indeed, our peoples’ ment unit of Bansalan also behavior by students. long quest for a just and provided financial support Classroom behavioral lasting peace in our country to the families of the victims. problems oftentimes come should always be a compel- Meanwhile, the Regional ling reason to forge ahead Operations Command of with the peace negotiations; the NPA in Southern Minit should trump any and danao Region owned the all attempts by the sabo- ambush-slaying of four cops teurs and militarists in the in Bansalan.
