HE resumption of peace talks between the government and the National Democratic Front will enable both parties to thresh out substantive issues and deal with complaints and demands, Communist Party of the Philippines founding chair Jose Maria Sison said. In a statement Wednesday, Sison said that through the talks the two sides can achieve “substantial success” and present their conflicting positions and achieve solutions to problems on mutually acceptable grounds. “Without a formal meeting of the panels, there can only be an acrimonious public exchange of complaints and demands, which appear

or sound like the preconditions prohibited by The Hague Joint Declaration,” he added. Sison said the framework agreement requires that neither side shall impose preconditions that negate the character and purpose of peace negotiations. “As a matter of course, the two panels shall reaffirm all the existing agree-

ments by way of ending the previous termination of the peace negotiations. It logically follows that the two panels shall cooperate in doing away with the obstacles and hindrances to the agreements and to the entire peace process,” he said. Both parties were supposed to discuss the Comprehensive Agreement on

Social and Economic Reforms (CASER) and Comprehensive Agreement on Political and Constitutional Reforms (CAPCR) during the fifth round of talks on November 25 to 27 last year. But it was aborted when Duterte, reacting to a series of attacks by the New People’s Army, issued Presidential Proclamation NDF chief political consultant Jose Ma. Sison. Photo See PEACE, page 11

Philhealth urged to include check up, lab cost in coverage By JOE PALABAO and DAHLIA BENEMERITO MDN-Bukidnon Bureau

BUKIDNON--Pending the passage of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) bill, Senator Sonny Angara called on the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Philhealth) to expand its primary care package to include preventive and promotive health services, such as executive checkup and laboratory test. “This is a first step while the deliberation on the UHC bill is still ongoing,” Angara told reporters during a press conference in Malaybalay City recently. The senator recently filed Senate Bill No. 1673, entitled “An act of providing for a universal health coverage for Filipinos and appropriating funds therefore.” The measure seeks to

increase Philhealth coverage to 100 percent of the country’s population, and expand the benefits and services ordinarily available under the current National Health Insurance Program (NHIP). Under the bill, the NHIP will be strengthened and renamed as the National Health Security Program, wherein the Filipinos will be automatically covered. At present, said Angara, PhilHealth’s primary care package only includes standard health checkups and medicines for 10 common conditions, including asthma, pneumonia, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. “Filipino families still bear the brunt of healthcare in the Philippines,” Angara said, citing a study by the Philippines Statistics Authority showing See coverage, page 11

“Nightmare bacteria” killing thousands in US annually LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up…” (James 5:14-15, the Holy Bible). -ooo“NIGHTMARE BACTERIA” KILLING THOUSANDS IN US ANNUALLY: Did you know that Americans are now undergoing a very serious health problem brought about by microbes or bacteria which can neither be killed nor treated with even the strongest dose of anti-biotics? In a report of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which got featured in the April 03, 2018 issue of Time Magazine, it was disclosed that some 23, 000 people in America are being killed yearly by these microbes or bacteria. Because of the bacteria’s nightmarish effect

on health and wellbeing of humans, Americans are now calling this as “nightmare bacteria”. If the truth be told, “nightmare bacteria” is an entirely new microbe. They did not exist, not only in the olden times, but even in recent years. But like mushrooms sprouting out rapidly in places where rain has just fallen, “nightmare bacteria” is spreading largely unchallenged in the four corners of the American continent at the moment, with no clear antidote in sight. -oooO N S L AU G H T O F D E A D LY D I S E A S E S PROPHESIED TO TAKE PLACE: If we look at written history, we will not fail to realize that these kinds of sources of man’s illnesses which can cause even his death have already been prophesied to happen way before our time. One of these prophecies pertaining to grave illnesses can be seen from Deuteronomy 28 of the Bible. I suggest all of

us should read and re-read these warnings now. From its verses 58 to 61: “If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name---the Lord your God---the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. “He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed…” -oooEFFECTIVE ANTIDOTE AGAINST GRAVE SICKNESSES: Certainly, it wouldn’t be long before “nightmare bacteria” would spread throughout all the world, including here in the Philippines. I am sure these kinds of bacteria will also afflict Filipinos. But,

Batas Mauricio

there is a way to fight these diseases. Because the Bible prophesied that these bacteria will come, it should be clear enough that the solution against them should also come from the Bible. One solution can be found in Deuteronomy 28 itself. It is there written that lingering and deadly illnesses will come if we no longer listen to God and no longer obey His commands. It should be clear, therefore, that, if we only listen to God and obey His commands, no sickness will ever afflict us, or, if they ever do so, we shall be able to cure and overcome them if we listen to God and obey Him. Too, the Bible is saying that if we only will subject ourselves to the Word of God, we will be given better health which no medicine or any kind of food can give. It would do us well now if we pay attention to See killing, page 11

Think A Minute

Power shortage

Think a minute. Have you ever thought to yourself: “I know what I should have done, but I didn’t do it!” How many times have you felt that way? It’s a struggle we all fight—every day! The constant battle between what we know we should do and what we actually do. Between our conscience and how we really live. Why can’t we simply do what we know we should? It’s even what we really want to do in our heart. Our problem? We have a power shortage in our lives—a shortage of will power. We’re like this couple whom I know.

The husband and wife both are marriage counselors, but they’ve now divorced each other! They’ve counseled hundreds of other married couples, yet they themselves cannot work out their own marriage problems. They know all there is to know about a good marriage relationship, but they can’t do it themselves and follow their own advice. We all know that honesty is the right, best policy. Yet, corruption and dishonesty is everywhere! People know that loving and giving to others is the happiest, best way to live. Yet we still are proud, competitive, jealous,

OUR MARAWI:

and even hurt the people we want to love. Wives and husbands know that cheating on each other, or their addiction to alcohol is destroying their family. Yet they keep doing it! So is this just the way we humans are? Will we ever have the will power to do what we know we should? You see, this is why Jesus Christ came: to connect us to the power of God, so we can finally have all the will power we need to live up to our potential and live the way we know we should. Jesus came to forgive us so that we could have a right relationship with our Maker. Knowledge isn’t your

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

problem; you know what you should do. It’s power that you need! And Jesus has all the power you’ll ever need for whatever you face. His empty grave shouts it loud and clear! He’s got all the power, even over death! And His power is yours—if you’ll ask Him to forgive you and take complete control of every area of your life. Just Think a Minute.

We will fight for our birthright to the end CAGAYAN de Oro City--We dare challenge Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) to produce documents (not just photos ) that prove that we (affected residents) gave our consent to the Bangon Marawi Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan (BMCRRP) and China-Ph Consortium for Ground Zero or Most Affected Area (MAA) — their plan not ours. We also challenge them to make public the plan if they are not doing any illegal acts. And also for them to make public the name of the groups or individuals (politicians or not) who allegedly support this idea for

us to validate if indeed they are residents from MAA and not misrepresenting us. TFBM should be gently reminded that presenting the plan to a few chosen residents does not equate to consultation or approval of their plan for Marawi. This is clearly an imposition to us and their plan is completely alien to our wishes which are to return and rebuild our home with or without government assistance. TFBM can be likened or is no different from the terrorist group that occupied Marawi for unilaterally and forcefully imposing their plan without seeking our

consent and respecting our rights. We condemn TFBM’s lies for they made us to believe these past few months (after the liberation of Marawi) that we cannot yet return to our homes for Security Reasons (clearing of UXOs ). Now, their plan is unveiled and obvious, which is to flatten and evict us from our ancestral homes and lands and give it to private developers. These acts can be considered a crime under International Humanitarian Law. We also warn all those Private Developers (Chinese and local firms) including

business groups interested to invest in the MAA to replace us from where our house stand, that surely they will face legal repercussions if they push through with the plan without our consent or approval. We will not take this lightly. We will fight for our birthright (guaranteed by the Constitution) to the end. #MarawiIsOurs (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. OUR Marawi is open to anyone who wishes to share his/her thoughts on what is happening in Marawi. Drieza A. Lininding is chair of the Moro Consensus Group).

Passion for mission MALITA, Davao Occidental--I mistook it at first to have been written by a second grader who had just learned how to write. The crude penmanship, the many misspelled words, and the arbitrary use of periods and commas throughout the Tagakolu composition were clearly the work of someone unskilled in writing. Furthermore, that piece of written work barely made any sense; it seemed more like a haphazard sequencing of random words than an essay. The composition, however, was the work of a Tagakolu sixth grader. It was an essay written in response to the question: why it was important to study. The boy who had written the essay was studying at a government elementary school not far from the

Answered prayers

Malita Tagakaulo Mission (Matamis). The essay was part of the qualifying examinations he took to avail of the scholarship offered by Matamis to Tagakolu children. That boy was actually of average intelligence and not dull-witted at all. However, the six years he had spent in elementary school had failed to develop his natural gifts and talents. And he is not alone. Government schools with a curriculum ill adapted to young Indigenous Peoples (IP) like the Tagakolu, and a teaching force with a deficient work ethic and unprepared to work in a context that is unfamiliar to them has been turning many Tagakolu children in the mountains of Malita into an alienated and miseducated generation. Since the beginning of

mission work among the Tagakolu people in the 1980s, the Church had already been involved in education through its literacy schools. The PMÉ missionaries of Quebec at the time already saw the wisdom of teaching Tagakolu children in their own language. When the government started taking over these schools one after the other many years later, Tagakolu children had to learn Cebuano, the language of settlers. The teachers were descendants of settlers from the northern islands who had very little interest in the language and culture of the Tagakolu. The Missionaries of Jesus (MJ) continued with the remaining schools and opened new ones when they arrived in 2006. Through the years some of those schools were taken over

Establishing School Site Boundaries By Melchor R. Obar Bacusanon National High School

Since its establishment in 1987, Bacusanon National High School has been continuously serving the young populace of Barangay Bacusanon and its neighboring places, giving them opportunity to shape their life as productive members of the society. For this long year of existence , the school could not establish its fixed boundaries. The school claims to have more than 7 hectares

of lands donated by certain individual. However, the school occupies less than 4 hectares. With this scenario, the school administration could not enclose the school with permanent perimeter fence. Besides, fronting the school is residential area. Trucks and other private vehicles block the drive way approaching the school gate. It was just last year that the school acquire the technical description

of the school site. Sad to say that the school site is only 4 hectares because it cannot provide sufficient evidence of its 7 has. claim. The school could not find individual that will testify that the school site is more than 7 hectares. Sad to note that in spite of the testimony of the students who graduated at Bacusanon National High School that they were planted trees in the area which is now occupied by private individual.

by the government and a few closed until only two remained. Despite being adequately funded by the government, the schools that were turned over yielded graduates who could barely read or write and, worse, had no appreciation whatsoever for their Tagakolu heritage. They were producing a lost generation. In 2015 the MJ started the process of transforming the two remaining literacy schools into elementary schools to be able to offer Tagakolu children quality education that is genuinely appreciative of their culture. For some years now, the Episcopal Commission on Indigenous Peoples See PRAYERS, page 11

Party-list solon reports HR abuses in Bukidnon By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Two days before the 76th Araw ng Kagitingan observance, a team of left-leaning organizations led by Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate led a fact-finding mission in Bukidnon, claiming that human rights abuses have taken place there since January. After their activity, Zarate reported during a press conference held here that they have documented one case of extrajudicial killing, one frustrated murder, one instance of physical torture, six cases of illegal detention, seven cases of trumped-up criminal complaints, 18 cases of threat and harassment, 18 cases of forced

confessions as New People’s Army (NPA) rebels and two cases of illegal search and seizure within the first three months of this year. Zarate identified the lone fatality as Aniceto Lopez Jr. which was gunned dead on January 22 in barangay Paitan, Quezon municipality. The congressman insisted that the death of Lopez, who suffered four gunshot wounds, could be classified as extrajudicial killing since he was accused as being an NPA member days before the assassination. He added that no arrests have been made even though the incident happened already almost three months ago. Zarate also cited the case of a 70-year-old tribal See PRAYERS, page 11

Middle East investors eyed for Mindanao By Armando Fenequito, Jr.

LTFRB wary on PCC order allowing Uber to continue ops

DAVAO CITY -- The Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) is eyeing investors from the Middle East countries for the development of Mindanao. MinDA Chair Secretary Datu Abul Khayr Alonto said he will be meeting with some investors from the Middle East who are interested to pour in capital to the region “The Middle East (investors) want to relocate their funds and what we want it is not only to make Mindanao as the parking area of that funds but for a destination of investment in partnership with our people,” he said. In this meeting, Alonto said he would request investors not to just to participate as buyers of the product of Mindanao, but to its development by putting up their industry here on the island. Alonto pointed out the benefit of putting industries on jobs for Mindanaoans. Alonto said he will first introduce the agricultural BORACAY CLEAN-UP.

More firms adopt green business models More companies are shifting to green products and green business models, as they engage with climate change agenda. A report released by Philippine Business for the Environment (PBE) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) said some companies introduce green products into the market considering their ecological impact. “Today, the availability of green products helps to make consumers aware about climate change and

how their habits and purchases may be contributing to it. These products now empower them to make choices that promote health and the environment,” it said. The report cited as an example Honda Cars Philippines’ introduction of Euro4 vehicles which release 50 percent less harmful air emissions compared to vehicles that passed only Euro-2 standards. In response to the Department of Energy’s call for energy conservation

following the 2015 power crisis, Philips Philippines has made available in the market a green product, light-emitting diode (LED) bulb, which significantly saves energy and reduces a household’s carbon emissions. To power their businesses, some companies are also now making the big switch to cleaner fuels as the continued use of fossil fuels has been proven detrimental to the environment. “Clean fuel is increasingly taking a significant

share in the energy mix used by manufacturing companies,” said the report. It cited Mondelez Philippines’ Go Green Program which installed a biomass energy facility using biodegradable and renewable materials, such as rice and coconut husks to power the company’s production plants. As a result, the company eliminated carbon emissions equivalent to 137 plane trips from Manila to Australia and back. It also saved enough energy to

light and run its plants for 4.3 months. The report, the first of its kind in the country, showcases the preliminary results of the online portal’s survey on how businesses are aligning their core business processes, activities and initiatives with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This, as the country seeks to limit greenhouse gas emissions as part of its obligations under The Paris Agreement, a landmark See adopt, page 10

MANILA -- The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has expressed concern that the order of the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) for ride-sharing firms Uber and Grab to maintain their separate business operations beyond April 8 would adversely impact the safety and welfare of the riding public. This, after Uber disclosed that it no longer has the funds and manpower to continue its operations. “If there is a road crash and they would like to file their complaint before Uber, who will respond to their cases when there is no one on board in their office. Their apps might be up but is the back system in place? Is the full support in place?” LTFRB Board Member Aileen Lizada said in a text message to reporters on Saturday. “Otherwise, we will be requiring Uber to close down because how can the riding public be assured of their safety and convenience when it is only in compliance to the order that their apps will be running but there is no back-up support system?” she added. The LTFRB said it will continue to process the migration of Uber’s drivers to Grab’s platform. Grab earlier said that Uber’s Southeast Asia operations will continue only until April 8 after acquiring its ride-sharing and food delivery businesses last March 26. The PCC has directed See order, page 11

Balutan confident incoming PNP Chief to strike hard vs jueteng P hilippine C h a r i t y Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Alexander Balutan is confident that incoming Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police Director Oscar Albayalde will hit hard against jueteng and other illegal gambling activities in the country. Albayalde, head of the National Capital Regional Police Office (NCRPO), has just been promoted on the spot by President Duterte during his speech last week in Davao City. He will replace outgoing PNP chief General Ronald dela Rosa, both members of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Sinagtala” Class 1986. Balutan belongs to PMA “Matikas” Class ’83.

“Albayalde is a hardworking officer and we have confidence that aside from his pronouncement to continue President Duterte and outgoing PNP chief Gen. dela Rosa’s war against drugs, he will also strengthen the administration’s war against illegal gambling,” the retired Marine major general said. On Febr u ar y 2017, President Duterte signed Executive Order No. 13, “Strengthening the fight against illegal gambling”. The EO orders the PNP, National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), and other law enforcement agencies to coordinate with each other

to stop illegal gambling. “Law enforcement agencies are further directed to coordinate and promptly act on request of gambling regulatory authorities to investigate and put a stop to illegal gambling activities in their respective jurisdictions,” the EO stated. Earlier, Authorized Agent Corporations or AACs) playing Small Town Lottery (STL) from all over the country raised concern over police inaction in their areas of operation against illegal gambling in a consultative meeting conducted at PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City. The STL also agents said illegal gambljng activities such as jueteng, swertres, See strike, page 10

On-Going Construction of School Building By Melchor R. Obar Bacusanon National High School

Bacusanon National High School is located in the Municipality of Pangantucan, Bukidnon. It offers complete Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) program. For the school year 2017 -2018, the school student population was increased from 694 to 859. The increased was coming from the grade 7 and the additional two years due

to the implementation of senior high school. The construction of the two –storey 6 classroom will surely provide convenience to our crowded classrooms especially for the incoming grade 7.The DepEd started is 39 student in every classroom. However, Bacusanon National High School have an average of 55 students in every classroom. Moreover,

some of our classroom has a dimension below standard (the standard classroom dimension is 7 by 9 meters) Due to insufficiency of classroom buildings, the school does not have science laboratory and Home Economics classroom. Upon completion of the said building (by August this year) hopefully one will be utilize as science laboratory and one for Home Economics.

An estimated 15,000 participants were inside the gym and many more were outside as they could no longer be accommodated inside the venue. Alvarez also spoke about the concrete gains of the people under the Duterte administration with the support of the House and the Senate, such as the free college education in stateowned universities, and free irrigation.

mandated by law,” DuterteCarpio said in a press statement. Duterte-Carpio said NFA and the NFA Council are the offices that study the country’s rice situation and they are tasked to come up with appropriate actions to address supply and availability of rice for the Filipinos. The NFA Council, which is chaired by Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr, is a policy-making body

composed of representatives from government agencies, financial institutions, representatives from private sector and the farmers. It was created under Presidential Decree No. 1770 to ensure food security and stabilize supply and prices of cereals. In the past two weeks, NFA rice retailers have voiced concerns over the depleting supply of NFA rice in the markets. This even prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to meet rice traders last week and committed to give at least 700,000 sacks of rice to replenish the NFA stocks sold at PHP38 per kilo to be sold at PHP39 per kilo. On Friday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a press statement that the President expressed his intent to place the NFA under the Office of the President. He said the President is also considering the approval of rice importation to be centralized under the Office of DA Undersecretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat “subject to the review of the Office of the Executive Secretary”.

Beauty Seizes Opportunity By Olive D. Recafrente- Teacher 1 Bacusanon National High School

One of the sad truths of today’s education is financial sustainability. We keep hearing issues of students dropping out from school because they don’t have something to eat or “ walang Baon” When would be the time that we will no longer here these scenarios? Will it be good to hear if both education and income will come together? I believe Beauty Care is one of the answers. Since Senior High School already started, various skills were offered under the track of Technology and Vocational Livelihood. It’s good to hear that some Senior High School in the country offer Beauty Care as one of the strand. It comprises nail care, body massage, make up, hair styling and hair dressing. The skills that the students Beauty Care will not only cater their personal needs but it also opens opportunity for them to earn a living. The things that they can learn from the school could bring them instant money as they offer the different services to the community. It opens a vast of opportunities locally and internationally due to the high demand of people seeking for beauty and at the same time to keep their body healthy. With that, it answers the financial problems People are fond of coming to salons from time to time for their beauty regimen. Beauty Care

services not only serves as hobby but it comprises with a number of advantages If you are a person acquiring services: 1. It maintain proper hygiene 2. It relaxes and relieves tired body muscles 3. It boost self- confidence If you are a person giving services: 1. This could be a good source of income. 2. It develops healthy relationship with other people 3. It give them an option when they proceed to college In the community: 1. It lessen the rate of unemployment. 2. Accessibility of beauty services during special occasion and special gatherings. 3. It lessens the crime rates in the community. Our fast changing world leads us with the new trends in terms of beauty and style. Unfortunately, there were hindrances for us to cope up with these trends. But with the changes that we had in our educational system, I believe these barriers will be vanished. Now is the time that the learned skills of the students will make them more productive through applications. This will be also the time that the students will become skilled beauticians that can compete internationally. With beauty care, worry no more, Let’s earn while we learn!

Uber to continue operating its app for the duration of their motu propio review. It has formulated various interim measures that would ensure the credibility and integrity of its review on the merger of Uber and Grab for possible anti-competition concerns during its hearing last Thursday. Among these include maintaining the independence of their business operations; refraining from sharing confidential information, such as pricing and operations; and refraining from imposing exclusivity clauses. Both Uber and Grab were also asked to refrain from performing any practice that could lead to reduced viability of their businesses and prejudice the PCC’s power to review the transaction and impose remedies. The PCC launched its motu proprio review to determine how the GrabUber merger would affect the ride-sharing market, as well as its impact on the thousands of Uber partner drivers who could be displaced. The commission is allowed by law to initiate its own probe if there arise concerns about fair competition, such as the emergence of a monopoly in an industry. (PNA)

drafts on general amnesty and release of all political prisoners in compliance with the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, coordinated unilateral ceasefires, part I Agrarian Reform and Rural Development and part II National Industrialization and Economic Development. Sison described agrarian reform and rural development, and national industrialization and economic development as the most important features of the CASER, dubbed the “heart and soul” of GRPNDF peace negotiations. He added both parties have drafted an agr¬¬eement on the coordinated ceasefires, a significant step towards the Comprehensive Agreement on the End of Hostilities and Disposition of Forces. Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza said in a statement Wednesday that Duterte wanted to give the talks “another last chance” but that the NPA should stop “revolutionary taxation” and attacks on private companies. On March 31 and April 1, suspected NPA rebels burned heavy equipment in Barangay Callawa in Buhangin District, Barangay Fatima in Paquibato District and in Calinan, all in Davao City. Damage was placed at P65 million. Duterte also wanted both parties to sign a ceasefire agreement. “President Duterte directed during the cabinet meeting today to work on the resumption of peace talks with the CPP/NPA/ NDF with clear instructions on the importance of forging a ceasefire agreement to stop mutual attacks and fighting while talks are underway,” Dureza said. Pace talks between the GRP and NDF formally resumed on August 22 to 26, 2016 in Oslo Norway, after a five-year impasse. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

(ECIP) of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) had been helping Matamis prepare modules for the IP schools that wove the essential thread that is Tagakolu culture into the fabric that is the IP curriculum of the IP schools of Matamis. There was a hitch, though: where to find teachers who shared the vision of Matamis and where to get the money to pay them. The beautiful vision of a school for IP children learning to love their culture seemed doomed from the start. A school with no teachers would be no school at all. We continued the plan, nevertheless, with our two remaining IP teachers and ardently prayed for a miracle. We were not giving up on the dream but did not really know what to do. Our prayers were answered in Marites Gonzalo and in our new IP teachers. Marites, who is fondly called Matet at Matamis, had been an IP school teacher and a catechist at the mission for some years. She left to study and gained a degree in education. She then worked on her masters in anthropology after that. She was finishing her masters when she finally joined Matamis in 2016 to take charge of the two IP schools and the IP youth program. She could have earned a lot more had she joined the government or had she worked with an NGO. She chose the road less travelled: she returned to her people. Many people her age would single mindedly pursue a rewarding career to get ahead in life and enrich themselves. That had crossed her mind on several occasions, she admits, but her heart was telling her something else. She claims to have always felt a tug to go back, as if the mountains were somehow calling her. The time, perhaps, had come for her to respond to that call. The two IP schools are located far from Matamis. They were put up in the communities that they would serve, far from the commercial and political centers. Travelling to these schools is no mean feat. The fastest and practical way of getting there is by motorcycle. We often wear rain boots when we visit the schools because we have to cross rivers numerous times or have to drive through the river itself. Occasionally we get stuck in mud. It is difficult to visit the

schools during monsoon season because the rivers are very often inundated. It is still a tricky ride when the water is low due to rocks and boulders in and by the river. Despite this, Matet is unfazed and carries on in accompanying the IP teachers and supervising the schools, visiting them as often as the weather permits. Although very professional in the way she works, she treats this work more of a ministry than a job. Her passion and love for her people shines through and is infectious. Her dedication inspires the teachers to also love the learners under their care and the teaching that they do. We thought looking for teachers who were passionate about IP education would be next to impossible. We were gravely mistaken. Former literacy school teachers came when they had heard of the plan about the IP schools of Matamis. Young people also came forward and wanted to be part of this endeavor. It did not matter so much that the pay was small, what mattered to them was that they would be making a difference in the life of their fellow Tagakolu. Matamis relies solely on donations for the salaries of its IP teachers. It does not receive any financial help from the state. Matamis is able to pay only the minimum wage of the IP teachers as required by law and that is not even half of what their counterparts receive in government schools. Nevertheless, our IP teachers teach with a passion that money can never recompense. At the closing ceremonies in March, learners from Kindergarten to Third grade shared with their parents and their community what they accomplished after a year of attending school. It may seem ordinary to outsiders but it means a lot to these communities. These children not only know what their counterparts know in the lowland, if not better, but they have learned more about their Tagakolu culture and are embracing it. Had there been no IP school in the community, many of these children would not have been able to study due to the long treacherous trek to the nearest government schools. Those who could have gone to those schools would have ended up barely able to read or write, and would have been gradually assimilated into the Cebuano mainstream of Mindanao. This coming June, we shall be starting fourth grade. We did not think that we could get this far but we have. We have much to be thankful for: God’s unwavering guidance and inspiration, the Tagakolu parents who provide for the food and shelter of our IP teachers, the people who have selflessly parted with the little they have to help the schools, and most of all, Matet and our IP teachers

who love this work and who love their people. The schools are simple but they offer more than the simple structures that people see. It is flourishing despite meager funds because of the many blessings it has received. The greatest blessings are the people who instruct the children, our IP teachers. What sets them apart from their counterparts in government is that for them teaching is not a job, it is a mission! (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews. Fr.

leader who is facing frustrated murder for allegedly wounding two soldiers from the 58th Infantr y Battalion in an encounter

with the NPA. “Their tribal elder can barely even walk let alone move fast,” he said, expounding his point that the criminal complaint was trumped up. Zarate said that during their mission, they discovered that the arrest had an effect of other tribal farmers in the area. “Farmers were forced to stop working for fear of being arrested next. As a result, the mother is forced to bear the burden of providing for the family alone. The meager income they earn is not enough to provide for the needs of the family forcing their children to stop from schooling and look for menial jobs,” he continued. Zarate said they will submit their reports to the Senate, his colleagues at the House of Representatives and the UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous People for appropriate action.

Let’s continue to honor our veterans, says Lorenzana

National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Monday called on the nation not to allow the heroic deeds of war veterans and freedom fighters be forgotten by future generations. Lorenzana delivered this message during the commemoration of the 76th anniversary of the Fall of Bataan where thousands of Filipino and American troops gave their lives in fighting the Japanese Imperial Army. Every April 9, the Philippines commemorates “Araw ng Kagitingan” (Day of Valor). “Let us continue to celebrate and commemorate the valor and gallantry of our WWII veterans. Let us perpetuate the memory of their deeds to be emulated by future generations of Filipinos,” he added. Lorenzana also urged the nation to continue honoring the remaining World War II veterans for the services they have rendered. “Let us honor those who are still with us for pretty soon they will all be gone,” he added. Underequipped and meagerly supplied American and Filipino forces, fighting in the Bataan frontlines, were forced to surrender in April 9, 1942 after 93 days of gallant resistance against the superior and well-armed Japanese soldiers. Some 60,000 Filipino and American troops were made prisoners of war by the Japanese. They were made to walk some 112 kilometers from Mariveles, Bataan to Capas, Tarlac under the scorching sun with no food and water for days in what is known the world over as the “Death March.” (PNA)
