Pres. Duterte aims to deepen ties with Myanmar, Thailand EDITOR: Cris diaz
Tuesday
March 21, 2017
DAVAO CITY -- President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and his official delegation departed on Sunday, March 19, for his back-to-back official visits to the countries of Myanmar and Thailand. In his departure speech, Pres. Duterte underscored the importance of his trips in strengthening partnership and cooperation with the two nations particularly in economic, trade and investment, education, defense, and combatting transnational crimes such as terrorism, piracy and illicit drug trade. “I leave today for the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and the Kingdom of Thailand. These Official Visits is the final leg of my introductory trips to my colleagues and friends in ASEAN,” he said. He noted that his visits are timely as the Philippines prepares to host the 30th ASEAN Summit and Related Meetings in Manila Vice Premier Wang Yang takes a picture of the Davao Gulf at the Sta. Ana wharf in Davao City on Saturday. Yang See aims, page A7
DAVAO CITY -- President Rodrigo Duterte remains undaunted by the impeachment case filed against him by the Magdalo Party-list last week as he vowed to deliver his promises to the Filipino people as a government worker. The impeachment case, he said, will not stop him from continuing his campaign against illegal drugs, corruption and criminality in the country and he will remain focused. “I welcome both developments,” said the President referring to the impeachment case and the case to be filed with the International led the Chinese delegation during a site inspection of the proposed Davao Coastline and Port Development Project.

NPAs have to stop unprovoked attacks if they want peace: AFP
If they are really sincere in resuming peace negotiations, then the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels should stop making unprovoked attacks against civilian and military targets. “If the NPAs are really sincere and one with the National Democratic Front (NDF) in their intent to resume the talks with government, they should start manifesting their intention by putting a stop to their terroristic activities which continue to harm our
citizens and halt development in the communities,” Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public affairs office chief Col. Edgard Arevalo said Sunday. He made this statement as insurgents continue to conduct arson and harassment attacks against legitimate business operators and government troops despite the announcement of the Government of the Philippines and NDF pronouncement on restarting peace talks in
The Netherlands. Several NPA arson attacks were recorded by the AFP last week, including the torching of a commercial transport bus in Makilala, North Cotabato last March 13 and gutting of delivery van owned by Fighter Wine Company in San Fernando, Bukidnon, also in the same day. Other incidents of harassment include the series of NPA attacks in Barangay Hinimbangan, Kitcharao in Agusan Del Norte, which
displaced 89 families last March 15. “While the AFP sees that the NDF continues to push for the resumption of the peace negotiations, it is clear that they are also losing hold of their men on the ground. The NPA, with their twisted ideals is attacking innocent civilians, extorting money or burn private properties,” Arevalo stressed. As of this posting, the NPAs have already conducted 62 terroristic activities since
the start of the year. These include abduction, burning or arson, extortion, ambush and harassment against both civilians and military members. “On our part, we will continue to conduct combat operations against the terrorist NPAs until we receive an official communication from the Office of the President suspending the all-out war. Our surgical, deliberate, and intelligence-driven operations have so far resulted to the

SolGen backs Speaker Alvarez’s impeachment bid vs VP Robredo
Solicitor General Jose Calida said that he will support House Speaker Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez’s plan to file an impeachment complaint against Vice President Leni Robredo over the latter’s video to the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs where she criticized the conduct of the administration’s anti-drug campaign.
“I fully understand and support the sentiment of Speaker Bebot Alvarez that VP Robredo should be rightfully condemned for slandering and selling out our country and its leaders before the UN Commission on Narcotics Drugs,” Calida said in a statement Sunday. “VP Robredo debased her office and herself by betraying the trust of our
people. Worse, she shamelessly pandered to the desperate desire of Yellow Cult to depose President, which if successful, will immensely benefit her. Obviously, the carping VP Robredo has joined the ranks of the destabilizers,” he added. Caldia said Robredo will reap the people’s wrath and contempt for her treasonous See backs, page A6
neutralization of 129 NPAs; of which, 23 were killed, 19 were arrested and 87 surrendered,” the AFP public affairs office chief stressed. “At present, the operations against the NPA already yielded 83 firearms from the NPA; 22 were surrendered while 61 were recovered during operations. The casualties on our side are now at 53, of which 14 were killed in action, 36 were wounded, and three were abducted,” he added. (PNA)

International Airport. “Maybe God gave me only two years, six months, one year and a half to be president of this country, fine,” he stressed. “Basta let it not be said na hindi ko ibinigay ang ipinangako ko (that I did not give my promises),” he said. He also denied accu-
sations he is behind the impeachment move against Vice President Leni Robredo. “I never did anything and I will not do anything about it,” he said referring to said move against Robredo. “I am beyond politics. I do not want to tinker with it. I just want to focus on my job as a --- which you have given me,” he said. The President vowed to
comply with his promises even if it would cost his life, his honor, and his presidency. “Kaya kong bitawan lahat ‘yan, mawala sa akin (I can let go all that, lose everything) but I will comply with my promise,” he added. His campaign against illegal drugs and criminality will continue and “it will be brutal if they do not understand the role of government”.

or her life, his/her role in society to share in building the community the operative truth, freedom, justice and love. To demonstrate this, the student must possess five basic skills – understanding, reflection, consultation, decision and action. Values-based education is an approach to teaching that works with values. It creates a strong learning
environment that enhances academic attainment and perhaps students’ social and relationship skills that last throughout their lives. The positive learning environment is achieved through the positive values modeled by staff throughout the school. It quickly liberates teachers and students from the stress of confrontational relationships which frees up substantial teaching and learning time. It also provides social capacity to students, equipping
them with social and relationship skills, intelligences and attitudes to succeed at school and throughout their lives. Values education in the Philippines was introduced when DepEd was still DECS or the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. DepEd defines values education as the process by which values are formed in the learner under the guidance of the teacher and as s/he interacts with the environment.
Classroom Management Keys Today, we know more about teaching than we ever have before. Research has shown us that teachers’ actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as do school policies regarding curriculum, assessment, staff collegiality, and community involvement. We also know that one of the classroom teacher’s most important jobs is managing the classroom effectively. Classroom management has the largest effect on student achievement. This makes intuitive sensestudents cannot learn in a chaotic, poorly managed classroom. It is very important that there is a balance between teacher
actions that provide clear consequences for unacceptable behavior and teacher actions that recognize and reward acceptable behavior as research has shown. Effective teacher-student relationships have nothing to do with the teacher’s personality or even with whether the students view the teacher as a friend. Teachers can establish clear expectations for behavior in two ways: by establishing clear rules and procedures, and by providing consequences for student behavior. Past research has stressed the importance of establishing rules and procedures for general classroom behavior, group work, seat work, transitions
and interruptions, use of materials and equipment, and beginning and ending the period or the day. Along with well-designed and clearly communicated rules and procedures, the teacher must acknowledge students’ behavior, reinforcing acceptable behavior and providing negative consequences for unacceptable behavior. Giving students the opportunity to set their own objectives at the beginning of a unit or asking students what they would like to learn conveys a sense of cooperation. Giving students this kind of choice, in addition to increasing their understanding of the topic, conveys the message that the teacher cares about and tries to accommodate

If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness: In our gospel, we can see that “Jesus criticized the people of Israel for keeping their treasures” and wealth.

money that’s why; they will “hoard it below the ground for safe keeping.” Even to their “costly garments,” they will put it below the ground for preservation.

LEARNER CENTERED EDUCATION By EDUARDO Y. PINGCAS Teacher I Mahayag Elementary School Quezon I District
Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university. In this era which is the 21st century, educators make innovations to cater new sets of learners in this century. There is a revolution taking place in education, one that deals with the philosophy of how one teaches, of the relationship between teacher and student, of the way in which a classroom is structured, and the nature of curriculum. At the heart is a powerful pedagogy, one that has been
developing over the past hundred years. It embraces social issues, the culture of the classroom, life-long learning concerns, and perhaps both last and least, technology. The basic issues can be described through such key words as “constructivism,” “learner-centered,” “problem-based.” At the heart is the idea that people learn best when engrossed in the topic, motivated to seek out new knowledge and skills because they need them in order to solve the problem at hand. The goal is active exploration, construction, and learning rather than the passivity of lecture attendance and textbook reading. The
major theme is one of focusing education around a set of realistic, intrinsically-motivating problems. Students work to solve these problems, often in groups, often over extended periods of time. Teachers carefully structure the problems so that in the course of solution, the students naturally pass through and acquire all topics of relevance. The students might not even notice that they are undergoing instruction and learning, for the education occurs naturally in the course of activity. This short description obviously simplifies the issues and the variety of approaches, but it does capture the major driving forces.
The Importance of Tapping Awareness to Current Issues Among Students By Mary Jane Sicalan-Agnas-Teacher lll Old Kibawe elementary School Kibawe, Bukidnon
Students, even as young as they are, are somehow affected to the different issues in the country such as unemployment rate, the status of poverty in the country, and lack of resources in funding government projects, among others. Thus, it is important to attend to their questions and satisfy their curiousity through opening and letting them have a glimpse to the reality. Education is encouraged not to be cornered in the walls of a classroom. It should at least open students’ eyes to the real world and train them how to deal with things along the way.
L etting t hem know the current events is one avenue to that. Needless to say, young individuals should be aware of what was happening right there and then. They should know the dealings and affairs that go around his environment. that teachers and parents are there to guide them and explain what bothers them. Updating through newspapers, magazines, radio,televisions and social media is the main avenue towards achieving student awareness. These are the basic tools of information, and students should be exposed to these things

Simple techniques to take student attention during classroom discussion By Mary Jane Sicalan-Agnas-Teacher lll Old Kibawe elementary School Kibawe, Bukidnon
Teaching students especially in grade school is a challenging task. It takes a lot of strategies and techniques for them to absorb the lessons in effective way. The following are some tidbits of simple ways in order for a teacher to gain attention from the pupils. First is the use of colorful materials. These materials include flash cards and visual aids blended in light colors such as red, yellow, orange and green, among others. These colors are the common ones that basically attract the eyes of the pupils and their attention to learn simple and basic topics. It could also be effective if the
teacher will use it even on the first days of classes. In this way, pupils will look forward to the more classes with that teacher. Giving rewards to pupils are also found effective. Each outstanding student is normally being rewarded by school after a school year and during recognition day. However, a teacher can do this in her class. It could be on daily like during recitations. It could also be monthly, like posting “Outstanding Pupil of the Month” or the like. This stategy could not only gain attention but as well confidence among pupils. Classroom decorations are

Integration of ICT Into Classroom Teaching By EDUARDO Y. PINGCAS Teacher I Mahayag Elementary School Quezon I District
The use of information and communication technology have caused many changes in the society especially in the life of our students. The impact of ICT in education may just be the beginning to be felt as teachers integrate this new technolog y into their teaching. However, in the early stage of education the use of ICT in teaching looking at the experience of the teacher in elementary level, it provides some clues to what will be the possibili-
ties and problems to this new technology. Teachers could give many different specific example how technology changes their work. Teachers are teaching the students to create own website. In elementary level the grade six students as neophyte to this kind of learning really amazed the fast and accurate information they want to know and this ICT can be considered as preparation for them to a higher level of education. Several teachers used power point and other computer program to improve their presentation of material to class,
they explained that technology enabled teachers to give more materials to students and also eliminated several basic problems like poor handwriting, poor artistic skills, contrast and visibility. Students go to laboratory to collect their data using computer. Learning is becoming almost natural in everything that teachers do because information is becoming more easier to access. Today, almost students in kinder, elementary level are no longer new to ICT because at an early stage of their eduction,they are already exposed to this modern technology.

Dir. Butch Chan: Our hearts are aching but heaven is one star brighter By Gean T. Cesar
We are indeed in great sadness over the unimaginable loss of a visionary in the Tourism industry, a mentor, colleague and a friend to many. One of his beliefs in life was the importance of being authentic with people, saying what needs to be said and do what’s need to be done especially if it concerns his family and profession. Director Butch and his beautiful spirit will live through the love of his lifehis son, Aldrich. We are witnesses of the great love and bond this father and son share for the last 16 years. His tourism programs and projects in the provinces he has served will speak of how great this man is. Our hearts are aching but heaven is one star brighter. How do we describe the most self-less person we know? How do we explain the multitude of ways he made us feel better of ourselves, or how he never missed the opportunity to encourage us? These are just words to magnify how great this man is….but these are real life experience of how he is greatly loved. “Dir Butch Chan once wanted to unite the festivals in the region thru establishing the HIMAMAT/LUMAD FESTIVAL in Region 10.. It’s a festival where most if not all cities and provincial festivals in the region will show together in Pelaez sports center during national tourism week last year.. he makes all things possible with our publications BusinessWeek Mindanao as the lead organizer to handle the event.. we both coordinated the LGUs and even to the RDC/NEDA, making the said festival a reality and even adopted as the official festival in the region.. but due to some considerations in dealing with the NCIP it was not realized...Dir. Chan is a man of Vision in tourism industry.. He is a true ICON of tourism! BusinessWeek , Mindanao Daily news and Cagayan de Oro Times salute you Sir Butch! We miss you!” DANTE SUDARIA, Publisher Businessweek Mindanao “With Sir Butch, I will surely miss our hilarious moments and unbashed laughters. He was not just a Tour-
ism official that we highly respected, but he treated us like family…as real friends. “ JULES BARIL, Cagayan de Oro Travel and Tours Association President “…. A fun loving individual… easy to go along with who served the tourism industry throughout his adult life.” DOROTHY JEAN PABAYO, City Tourism Council Chairperson, Cagayan de Oro “Butch was a very active Trustee of promote CDO Foundation. There was never any dull moment with him during every board meeting, casual meetings or planning sessions. His support to the activities of Promote CDO Foundation and Oro Chamber was always beyond the ordinary scheme of things. Goodbye Director Butch! We will surely miss your jokes and laughter”. RUBEN VEGAFRIA, President Promote
CDO Foundation “Director was a valuable partner in many of the City’s tourism related activities. We will surely miss his inputs and opinions on various concerns and issues related to the local tourism industry in the city and the region”. EILEEN SAN JUAN, Kagayan Festival Chairperson “I literally inherited the Miss CDO annual pageant
from Dir. Butch. It was terrifying at first to accept the responsibility knowing how passionate he was in community events. But he guided me along the way and allowed me to explore on my own. He was not just a mentor, but he was a genuine friend who will make you feel that you are important to him. GEAN CESAR, Miss CDO Production Head- City Tourism Council
