Majority of farmers remain poor or, near-poor: WB study WB study: Over 80% of Mindanao’s farmers, fisherfolk remain “poor or near-poor”

By Antonio L. Colina IV MindaNews

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 08 April) — Mindanao’s development remains key to the Philippines’ economic progress.

But over 80% ofMindanao’s farmers and fisherfolk remain “poor or near-poor and lack scale and skills to compete” so efforts to make them more productive must be strengthened to bring growth and address poverty in Mindanao, and achieve economic progress in the Philippines, the World Bank-funded Mindanao Jobs Report (MJR) 2017 said.

Providing a comprehensive strategy to unlock the island’s potentials, the MJR said economic progress in the Philippines depends on the success of the development of Mindanao, the country’s main agricultural producer.

Middle East investors eye Mindanao 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 See investors, page 7

“Unless there is development in Mindanao, it is hard to see how the Philippines can achieve sustained and inclusive growth,” it said.

The 92-page study released on Friday emphasized the need to prioritize the development of “agriculture, forestry, and fisheries” as it employs nearly half of workers in Mindanao but noted 78 percent of the individuals with incomes below the poverty line are found in the rural areas.

Agriculture also drove 60 percent of Mindanao’s economy and employment in 2012, it said The report found that the lack of competition in key sectors, insecure property rights, complex regulations, and severe underinvestment in infrastructure, education, and health resulted to anomalous growth pattern, leaving “majority of See study, page 11

Duterte to Meranaws: “I will do what is best for you so do not hurry me up

By Carolyn O. Arguillas MindaNews

The Task Force Bangon Marawi allowed residents to visit their homes to get their personal belongings and to retrieve their possessions at Marawi’s Main Affected Areas.

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Monday urged Meranaws, particularly those displaced from Marawi City’s Ground Zero, the former main battle area between government forces and the Maute Group (now refered to as MAA or Most Affected Area), to be patient and not to hurry him up because he wants the 250-hectare area cleaned up first of rubble and unexploded ordnance before they can rebuild.

“Kayong mga Moro, wag kayong magmadali” (You, Moro, do not

rush)…. “you cannot erect a post there. There are rubbles and rocks,” Duterte said at the Davao International Airport before departing for the Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan province, China.

“Give us time to clean the downtown area tapos papasok kami (and then we will enter). We will clean it up of leftovers o yung hindi pa na, unexploded ordnance (UXOs) just to make it safe for you,” he said.

The area has been rendered relatively safe as the military had targeted the first week of April to wind up See duterte, page 11

Xavier Ateneo President Fr Roberto C Yap welcomes the topping off of the ALGCIT Program Dorm 1.

Xavier Ateneo tops off ALGCIT Dorm 1

By Mike Baños Editor-at-Large

MINDANAO’S first university used the birthday of its Patron saint for the topping-off ceremony of the Dorm 1 for its Andrew L. Gotianun, Sr. Center for Integrated Technologies (ALGCIT) at Manresa Complex, Fr William Masterson Avenue, Upper Balulang, Cagayan de Oro City.

“It is significant to note that we are able to hold the topping-off of the Dorm 1 of this ALGCIT program on the 7th day of April, the birth date of St Francis Xavier, patron of our University and the universal Church’s patron of all missions,” said Fr Roberto Yap, University President.

“On this day we renew once more our commitment to our mission of forming men and women of character, men and women for others, with the financiallychallenged yet deserving students taking a special place in our hearts such as what we do in this ALGCIT program,” he added.

Dorm 1 is the first to

be constructed among a series of new buildings of its XU-Andrew L. Gotianun Sr. Center for Integrated Technologies (ALGCIT), a special Senior High School for poor but deserving students pursuing three-year cutting edge technical specializations.

A brainchild of the partnership between Xavier Ateneo and the family of the late Mr. Andrew L. Gotianun, Sr., led by his son Mr. Jonathan Gotianun, XU-ALGCIT is designed to be a free boarding school yet envisioned to become an ivy leaguer in the senior high school tech-voc arena.

“This project has also challenged the university to rethink its concept of its SHS Tech Voc track and catalyze its transformation to become a premier Tech Voc Senior High School,” said Dr. Dulce R. Dawang, Vice President for Basic Education.

“After two years of discussions, planning, worrying and strategizing, and while still more preparations Xavier Ateneo President Fr Roberto Yap takes first dibs during the Topping-Off Ceremony for Dorm 1 of the ALGCIT See tops, page 7

Group to file human rights complaints before GRP-NDFP Joint Monitoring Committee

By Antonio L. Colina IV, MindaNews

DAVAO City--Complaints of human rights violations allegedly by government

forces will be filed before the Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) of the government (GRP) and National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP),

a leader of a militant group said Monday.

Rafael Mariano, chair emeritus of Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, told a press conference at the

Indigenous peoples from Kapalong, Davao del Norte hold a protest rally at the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples’ (NCIP) Region XI office in Davao City Thursday (16 April 2015).

Lispher Inn here that the complaints will be based on the findings of the groups that participated in the three-day International Fact Finding and Solidarity Mission on state of farmers and Lumad rights in Southern Mindanao, Caraga, and Northern Mindanao from April 6 to 8.

Mariano, a former agrarian reform secretary, called on the JMC to investigate the alleged human rights violations against farmers and prosecute the suspects.

He also urged the military to honor the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law that the GRP signed with the NDFP in 1998.

The mission reported 11 incidents of extrajudicial killings in the three regions; 11 incidents of

Conducting an Action Research: A Stress or an Edge By: Merly Jalagat-Sandoval Head Teacher Designated/Teacher III Initao National Comprehensive High School

The 21st century teachers are expected to be equipped with an appropriate knowledge, skills and values to conquer the 21st century education.

Today, teaching world seems complicated due to the attitude and behavior of both the teachers and the students.

Teacher of younger generation or the so-called millennials have different perspective and views compared to the older generation. Millennial teachers are those who were born from 1985-1993 according to the study of Howe (2010), this generation considered as digital native and tech-savvy.

However, in the actual practice of teaching profession, both the younger and older generation encountered

problems in the classroom setting and the delivery of their lessons. It is a fact that teachers are dealing with diverse learners since the system adopted inclusive education. Learners have different pacing of learning performance, attitude and behavior. The teachers applied differentiated lesson to cater the needs of the learners.

Today, conducting, action research is a part of the teachers’ performance. It is included in the evaluation of the individual performance rating. As an observation, teachers are having difficult time in formulating and conducting action research. Some teachers become stressful when the school head follow

up their outputs of action research. Is conducting an action research a stress stimulant of the teachers? On the other hand, is it an edge to their teaching performance?

A reality that conducting an action research is an additional and tedious task of the teachers. However, looking into the role of the teachers in the learning process of the students, it is a duty of the teachers to find and research solutions to the problems encountered while performing the teaching tasks. A research that will put into action will eventually become a teaching innovation.

Self-assessment is equally important as of self-motivation. These two teachers’ attitude help in managing stress of the teachers. In fact, a stress can be converted

into motivation through selfassessment that conducting an action research can be an edge of a teacher in performing teaching tasks.

Conducting an action research is encouraged not only in medical field as traditionally known but to all other fields and areas as long as problems existed. It will be an edge if created innovation as a result of action research, will be adopted to the whole organization.

School-Based Feeding Program: Its Impact to Learners’ Performance By: Jojette B. Cang Teacher I San Francisco Elementary School, Balingasag North District

There are several problems contributing to low performance indicators of the school. The prevailing problems of the school nowadays are absenteeism, retention, and dropout rates. It is a perennial problem particularly in the mountain communities. Children who are experiencing poverty are consequently have nutritional problems. They are sickly. They cannot even go to school because there is no food to eat. Sometimes, they come to school with an empty stomach.

With situation, learning is impossible to children

who are starving. In the past, children retained in their grade level due to low academic performance.

Studies show that poor learning performance is significantly related to nutrition. Malnutrition has greater contribution to the learning performance of the children. It is also observed that there was high rate of absenteeism due to poverty that eventually lead to dropping out from school.

Today, these problems are resolved with the implementation of the schoolbased feeding program of the Department of Educa-

tion. It is evidently effective to eradicate absenteeism, retention and dropout rate of the schoolchildren. The school-based feeding program is a six-month program that provides the malnourish children nutritious lunch to supplement their nutrient insufficiency.

The school feeding teacher and the school head are well trained to implement the program and to ensure that health and nutrition of the children are properly monitored.

Attendance of the pupils/recipients are closely checked.

At the end of every quarter, weighing is conducted to evaluate the result of the feeding program. Vitamins were also given to supplement the nutritional needs

of the children.

With the school-based feeding program, the children are interested to come to school because they assured that nutritious food is ready for them. It is also apparent that there is an increase of the learning performance particularly children who are recipient of the school-based feeding program. This program is very effective in maintaining colorful school performance indicators. It is also a useful tool to eradicate malnutrition. Schoolchildren are happy and enjoy their lunch with the food prepared for them.

I hope that this program be sustained, as the results are evident for the welfare of the children.

terfaith Services Foundation Inc. Academy; and landgrabbing in Tandog, Maramag, Bukidnon.

Mariano added the group wants President Rodrigo R. Duterte and principal perpetrators of the reported to be held responsible for violation of Republic Act 9745 or the Anti-Torture Law and other laws pertaining to human rights protection.

The Importance of Action Research By: Jacqueline Vallar Culaste Teacher I Dampil Elementary School, Lagonglong District

In delivering lessons to the students, teachers have different teaching strategies.

There is no specific teaching strategy appropriate to a certain competency. Most often, teachers applied mixed teaching strategies to enable the students to understand and absorb the lessons to their individual level of performance. Students have their individual pacing of performance.

Thus, teachers should design applications and exercises to suit the level of understanding and performance to each of them.

The classroom setting is heterogeneous. This means teachers deal with diverse learners. In dealing with these kind of learners, teachers should formulate lesson appropriate for them. The teacher even applies ICT designed lesson for these students are digital natives. Students today are visual.

They learned better if the lessons are in videos or in PowerPoint presentation.

However, despite the effort of the teachers to deliver the lesson in the simplest way, there are still students who cannot get the lesson to its mastery level. What will happen to some students who cannot catch up with the lesson?

Will the teachers leave them and proceed to the next lesson? This problem always exists in most classroom setting. Not all students achieved the Publication Notice R.A. 10172

mastery level of the lesson.

Some need remediation for the least mastered competency. This scenario needs reflection on the part of the teachers. What would the teachers do to enable the students to cope with the least mastered competencies?

Action research plays a vital role in dealing with this kind of situation. The students should not left behind if they cannot cope up with a certain competency. The teachers should plan for an action, conduct research to determine the reasons and factors for the failure of the students to achieve the mastery level.

An action research is a process which teachers get the deeper background of the problem and the factors involving it. The teachers can use simple instruments to gather data that cause the problem. Data compiled and gathered through observations, interviews, a survey questionnaire and diagnostic test will be bases for formulating solution to the problem. Though conducting an action research is a tedious task, but it is self-fulfilling when the students improved, their learning performance based on the innovation created. Action research should always be part of the teaching routine of the teachers. It helps both the students and the teachers achieved their goals in academic setting.

Church people in the country figuratively jumped with joy when PDU30 announced he is again for the resumption of peace talks with the NDF-CPP-NPA. But their jubilation was doused with cold water when House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez announced that religious organizations in the country will be taxed under the proposed Constitution replacing the current one.

Same people with contrasting reaction of jubilation and dismay to two different matters – peace talks and tax imposition on religious organizations.

The jubilation is expected for the inherent being of

the church is to work for peace and to abhor the absence of such. The dismay is likewise expected since time immemorial religious organizations in this country are tax free on the ground that the exercise of religious beliefs can’t be curtailed by the State such as subjecting it to tax.

One thing that the church people have sorely missed here is the fact that the twin move of PDU30 will effectively castrate the church and the only political party in the country with an armed group from going against him.

Historically, the church in this country had shown its resolve to stand up to the powers-that-be, specifically State officials, who abused their power with impunity.

The fact remains that the ouster of Dictator Marcos from power in 1986 was primarily spearheaded by the late Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin.

Without Sin in the forefront of the Edsa People Power revolt undoubtedly it would have fizzled out even before it can gain traction.

The idea of taxing the church is clearly a ploy to instill fear among its leaders so that they’ll have second thoughts in regard their pursuit of the Church’s prophetic task of denouncing what is evil, what is wrong in Philippine society today under the PDU30 administration.

The church is getting restive at the way PDU30 is making a mockery of existing institutions like his obsession to remove from office incumbent Supreme Court Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno by hook or by crook. This obsession was proved by Duterte himself when he announced before leaving for China that he is now Sereno’s number one enemy and that he wants her out from the Supreme Court.

Deducing from PDU30’s pronouncements, one can logically surmise that his obsession to see Sereno out could be the reason why the church should now be taxed.

For sure with this taxation threat, church leaders will be running to Malacanang to strike a compromise. And in all likelihood, it would be on the Sereno issue,among others.

Undeniably, the only political group in the country with the power to counterbalance the State security forces is the NDF-CPP-NPA. What better way to hold them at bay from making any position in regard PDU30s brazen move at getting rid with Sereno than by offering them the peace negotiation table?

Now that the NDF-CPPNPA and the government are in the process again of negotiating peace, the rebel group is now prevented from taking any position See bacon, page 11

Think A Minute

Classroom of life

THINK a minute.

Remember when you were in school? You know who’s best at doing tests, but you don’t know who will succeed at the tests of life.

By the time we’ve finished 10-12 years of school, we’ve learned some accounting with debits and credits, but we’ve still not learned how to truly forgive our debtors and people who have wronged and hurt us. We know what direction Japan is, but we’re not sure which way we should go in life. In school, we learn how to do everything except how to live!

It’s after we finish school

crucible: QUEZON City--Guns laid bare. No words. No conversation. Nothing.

It was the first-time guns failed to hear the noise, the bragging, the laughing of their fellows. Instead, they were on display while banded together, tightly tied in their barrels while completely muzzled by their mouths.

They were showcased according to their places of origin with their respected tag names; there were 19 of them. They heard that the master with big boots was coming. He wanted to see them.

Each gun was flabbergasted. It was unlike many years ago.

They’d the master’s love.

They were happy and gay.

They felt secured, handsome and majestic with their sophisticated looks. They were frequently cleansed. Wiped.

Oiled. And cleansed again.

that we must start learning how to live in the classroom of real life. So who is the right teacher for us? Who can best teach us how to live well? Isn’t it logical that whoever invented life is the One Who knows how life best works?

This is on of the reasons Jesus Christ became a human being—as the Teacher of real living. He explains and shows us the way God designed life to be lived.

That’s why Jesus is the only person in history who could ever come back to life after dying and being buried for 3 days. He’s still teaching today! So we would be smart

to listen and do everything He tells us are the principles for living a successful and satisfying life.

If you put your life in Jesus’ hands, He will work everything together for good in your life. Jesus will show you what to do about your boss who is unfair to you.

He’ll teach you how to pay back your debts and manage your money problems. Jesus will show you what you can do so your child won’t feel so angry and rebel against you. He’ll show you how to change and improve your marriage relationship. And Jesus will help you do your best in school.

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

Jesus can even use your mistakes to teach you lessons on how to live well and right. But you must first join His class. So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for living your wrong way, and ask Him to become your life’s teacher in charge of your life. Then, He can start showing you how your life was made to really work the way you want it to.

Whisper of the guns In their homes, Garand used to sleep under the bed of its master. M14 and its ilk were just standing everywhere in the house’s wall. M16 used to man the door; Bazooka, proudly sat at its master’s camp, and 50 Caliber was mounted in the veranda. Rifle Grenade, with its brothers, lay inside a wooden box near the house’s cabinet.

And they were always full back then; their stomachs always had their favorite foods. Some of them even had their stomach called “long play” where two clips of Armalite are conjoined, while attached to a “double body.”

Those were the days – unlike today. Their status had never been the same since they were transferred to that place they were partly unaware, yet partly familiar.

Some of them remembered that they were once there.

They could even recognize some old faces around.

What puzzled them was that the last ones who used to own them, to hold them, and to carry them by their shoulders looked pensive too. They were in state of “tahammul” – dumbfounded.

The guns and their masters could only take a gloomy stare with each other without saying a word, as if they’d swallowed a “biluuk” – a young coconut fruit that blocks one’s throat.

They were just separated in few distance, but their masters could not even find a word – let alone take a step to hold them and say goodbye for the last time.

“This silence is deafening,” M14 thought. “Uhmmm,” it mumbled quietly while trying to open a conversation with Garand at its side.

Just few days ago, there

was a wedding in Kan-awn.

M14 together with M16, Garand, and AK47 were invited; they were served with Tausug delicacies of all kinds. They’d a lived conversation.

M14 remembered how M16 bragged about himself.

As he sipped his coffee, M16 said: “I like to eat ‘durul.’ It is a delicious black cake available in every ‘pagtiya-unan’ or wedding ceremony.”

“It must also be the favorite of M79,” M16 recounted.

“They both have cases – one wrapped with brown leaves; the other’s food in green, hard plastic.” “They are both similar in size,” M16 persisted, “but the one with M79 is shinier and louder when fired.”

“While the one is popular in every market,” M16 boasted, “the other comes from elsewhere.”

He said they will file civil and administrative cases against the alleged perpetrators.

He added they will file complaints against Duterte, the military and police before the International Criminal Court and United Nations Human Rights Council if the government fails to take action.

He said they want to hold a dialogue with Public Attorney Office chief Persida Acosta and the Integrated Bar of the Philippines on providing free legal assistance to the victims and continuous monitoring of their cases.

They will also recommend to the Department of Justice to review all cases involving political prisoners and victims of alleged trumped-up charges.

The group recommended the abolition of the Interagency Committee on Legal Action that is “instrumental” in filing of trumped-up charges.

Former Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo, a convener of Movement Against Tyranny, said the climate of impunity has continued while the number of alleged trumped-up charges against human rights advocates increased under the Duterte administration.

He said Duterte’s Oplan Kapayapaan was recycled from Oplan Bayanihan of former president Benigno Aquino III and Oplan Bantay Laya of former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Arroyo is a close ally of Duterte. Over a thousand Left-leaning activists were killed during her watch.

Ocampo vowed to continue opposing federalism and pressure Duterte to lift the martial law in Mindanao.

The Islamic State-inspired Maute Group attacked the Islamic City of Marawi on May 23 last year, prompting Duterte to place Mindanao under martial law.

The island-wide martial law has been extended twice last year with the second extension to last until December 31, 2018.

Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Rep. France Castro said red-tagging of civilians worsened under martial law in Mindanao.

She said Lumad students continue to flee their communities due to militarization

and the impact of martial law in the far-flung areas of Mindanao.

She said she was moved by a student who asked if peace could be restored in their community as they have grown tired of evacuating and want to continue attending classes.

She said the Makabayan bloc in Congress continues to call for the resumption of peace talks between the GRP and NDFP in order to address the root causes of armed struggle.

“I have seen the effect of martial law, it’s not necessarily peace. We want just and lasting peace. Militarization is not the answer to the problems of our society but just and lasting peace are to meet the needs of our people and less-opportune students,” she said.

Antonio Tinio, also an ACT representative, said martial law only benefits the interests of the big agribusiness companies and mining corporations in Mindanao and targets the poor farmers.

Anakpawis representative Ariel Casilao said they participated in the three-day mission to listen to testimonies of human rights violations to give voice to the farmers and Lumads in Congress.

He said they have asked the House committees on human rights and agrarian reform to conduct an inquiry on reported cases of human rights violations but that the committee on rules ignored it.

He said Congress failed to consider the situation of farmers and Lumads when it approved the extension of martial law.

He alleged that the military forced civilians to surrender even if they are not New

People’s Army members.

Mariano said they want government officials, including prosecutors and judges, allegedly conniving with the military in extorting peasant victims of trumped-up charges investigated and prosecuted, and urged Congress to enact a law that prohibits the military from using civilian facilities for socio-civic purposes.

The group called for the immediate stoppage of projects that displace the Lumads such as plantations and mining ventures. (Antonio L.

Solon wants tighter security measures vs. theft in schools

A

PARTYLIST lawmaker at the House of Representatives on Monday urged incoming Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Oscar Albayalde to intensify security measures in schools to address the rising incidents of theft and robbery of public schools' computers and other equipment.

Kabayan Rep. Ron Salo said the latest anti-theft and antirobbery measures of the Department of Education (DepEd) and the PNP for computers and other technical equipment distributed to schools are not enough.

“The theft and robbery of computers, CCTV equipment and LCD projectors have become more frequent in schools. Sometimes, a few high school students get caught with bringing weapons at school.

There are several rape cases wherein students are the victims. There are also students who are victims of tokhang, drug syndicates, hazing, and street gangs,” Salo said.

"I ask the incoming

PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde to please protect our schools, students, and teachers against thieves, robbers, and other criminals," he added.

DepEd has implemented countermeasures to deter theft and pilferage of the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) equipment including changing the color of DCP-issued devices to blue, the public warning that the said packages are government property, and that mere possession of such outside of public schools can be ground for prosecution.

"Those measures are insufficient because thieves and robbers are creative and resourceful.

The criminals would just chop-chop or 'cannibalize' the school computers, CCTV equipment, and LCD projectors and sell the parts to interested buyers," Salo said.

"The thieves and robbers would just remove whatever markings and coverings the DepEd computers and equipment have," he

said.

The lawmaker said the PNP should be compiling the reports of their field offices so that the extent and depth of the theft problem can be ascertained and proper measures be put in place.

He said the PNP should report and update these cases to the DepEd Central Office and to Congress.

Salo noted that other agencies, such as the Department of Trade and Industry, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government, should be informed of the modus operandi of these criminals to inform the concerned sectors and the public of such schemes.

"Schools, especially the public schools, are soft targets of thieves and robbers because of inadequate number of watchmen and security guards, poor perimeter security, and poorly lit surroundings.

Most rooms where the computers and equipment are kept can be easily broken into," Salo said. (PNA)

PH concerned over brewing trade war between US, China

By Azer Parrocha

MANILA -- An envoy on Monday expressed concern over the possibility of a trade war between the United States and China, urging both countries to try to “go back to the negotiating table.”

Philippine Ambassador to China Jose Santiago Sta. Romana made this remark after reports about a possible trade war that could adversely affect the Philippines circulated. Some of the country’s exports are part of the supply chain in the Chinese exports to the US. “There is gonna be a negative impact on us and that’s why we’re very concerned about it,” Sta. Romana told reporters in Bo’ao, Hainan in China.

Sta. Romana said if a trade war breaks out, it would be a challenge to the Philippines and all parties involved since “there are no winners and it is hard for any winner to emerge.”

“What we need to do is to call for restrain -- on the US and China to go back to the negotiating table, to open talks and to try to resolve it through negotiations, to trade talks so as to avert a trade war and so as to prevent any fallout on the Philippines,” he added.

DOF exec hopeful for Package 1-b approval this year

By Joann Villanueva

MANILA -- A ranking Department of Finance (DOF) official remains optimistic that Package 1-b of the proposed tax reform program will still get the approval of lawmakers this year.

Package 1-B tackles reforms that were not included in the approved version of the first package, namely the motor vehicle users’ tax, tax amnesty, and bank secrecy.

DOF Undersecretary

Karl Chua said the motor vehicle user charge, which has three components namely increase in the rate, road board and road fund reform, is now being discussed by a Technical Working Group (TWG) in the House of Representatives.

In the Senate, a bill on the reforms on the road fund and road board has been filed by Senator Manny Pacquiao, he said.

Thus, Finance officials are re quest ing S enate President Aquilino “Koko”

Pimentel III to file a bill proposing for an increase in road users’ tax rate to align the Senate discussions with that of the House of Representatives, he said.

The other components of Package 1-b are now being discussed at the committee level in both Houses of Congress, he said.

Finance officials earlier projected that Package 1-b might be approved before lawmakers take their recess from March 24 to May 13, 2018 but since this did not

happen, Chua said they are hoping the bill would be approved at the Committee level during the resumption of session by mid-May and before lawmakers take another break before June 1.

“Hopefully in the next session before June 1 they can file (the committeeapproved bill in the plenary),” he said.

Educational in 21st century is very resourceful

By Rosanna B. Llemit Mainantang Elementary School

The past generation in term of education is not too much resourceful unlike today. Gathering data, information, facts and knowledge is not easy to reach.

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 sector since it is known to be the fruit basket in the country.

Then, if there are industries that will be introduced, Alonto said the government will work on it to provide their needs.

Alonto sees Mindanao’s agriculture and agri-based industries as the most prominent economic drivers.

TALENT IS A GIFT FROM GOD

By Layma S. Palete – Teacher -1 OIC

Everyone of us born with a talent. All we need is to believe that we possessed at least one talent.

God gives us a talent to use not only for our own benefits but also for the people we loved, and for the people around us. He gives us talent to make us unique individual. All of us have dreams to achieve; we want to be like somebody who is very popular on stage and television. We want to become famous in our society, search our own identity. Always remember that talent is a gift from God. It is a gift that can be used as an instrument

in reaching and achieving our dreams. If you believe that you can make it, then move…do something…. do not hide, expose yourself, create the best of your bests. Don’t be ashamed!

Don’t doubt! Don’t feel that way! Show your capacity.

Erase all negative thoughts that will kill you and stop dreaming. How will you see the result if you won’t try?

Cultivate, water it to grow and improve. Show your talent to the world. Spread your wings and expand.

Don’t reject your talent.

Don’t just keep it within you. Always aim to shine.

Don’t give up even if you

fail and embarrassed with anyone.

How many times that you ignore your talent? There are some instances that we are at the point of showing our talents to expose publicly but we are often fought by our fears. The fear to be insulted and criticized by the audience, the fear that we might not make it good or better. But bear in mind that those whom you’re afraid of are helpful to your career. Good and bad experiences can make you good and better in the future. All you need to do is to be willing…willing to accept advices, suggestions, opinions and criticisms from others, believe it or

not these will lead you to success. Bear in mind that effective enhancement of talent comes with interest, determination, confidence and passion; ,interest in the field that you want to tackle and develop; determination that all things are possible with God if you’ll not spend time and effort to it; and confidence within you that the decisions you make are not worthless; use and show your talent while you are still physically fit and strong. Learn to love your talent. Pursue it! Don’t hide it; share it to others before God takes it from you. Do all things for the glory of God.

The Problem-Based Learning Approach in Teaching Science By: Merly Jalagat-Sandoval Head Teacher Designated/Teacher III Initao National Comprehensive High School

Today, 21st century learners are different compared to the older generation. In the advent of technologies, particularly the information and communication technology (ICT), the learners also have behaviors and attitudes that aligned to the trends of the modern world. Before, the teachers are the center in the classroom instruction and performance. Learners today are self-motivated to learn something with the use of ICT. The connection of the worldwide web is a phenomenon that brings greater impact to the learners.

Using internet, the learners know the topic and learn the information at the palm of their hands. They can browse and surf information from google and other websites that they can access according to their needs.

However, it is ironic that some teachers are less capable in utilizing the ICT than the learners. It is also a big problem to deal with the Baby

Boomer teachers. Yet, with the effort and goals of the Department of Education, there are regular in-service trainings and seminars conducted for the teachers to cope up with the behaviors and attitudes of the 21st century learners.

In teaching Science, the problem-based learning approach is encouraged.

Its goal is to develop the critical thinking, analysis, and scientific skills of the learners to solve problem.

The teacher will act as facilitator of learning and the learners are the center of the classroom instruction and process. The teacher will present the problem and let the learners engaged with the given problem. The teacher will guide the students in exploring the subject matter/ problem through providing them guide questions and group activities. It will also enable the students to explain the result of the exploration that they have discovered.

They can likewise elaborate the solution of the problem.

In the midst of the learners’ activities, the teacher is ready to response to the inquiries of the students and supplement ideas. The learners have freedom in gathering data and information as long as it can eventually generate solution to the problem studied. The teacher will also evaluate the output of the students if the objectives of the lessons achieved. The teacher can further extend the topic for

enhancement based on the result of the evaluation.

The problem-based learning approach in teaching is very helpful to develop the scientific skills of the students. Formulating solution of the problem and will consequently develop a systematic approach in dealing life’s problem.

Duterte calls on Congress to fast-track Sereno impeachment DAVAO CITY -- President Rodrigo Duterte called on Congress to speed-up the impeachment of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, as he vowed to make sure that the latter will be out of the Supreme Court.

“I’m putting you on notice that I’m your enemy and you have to be out of the Supreme Court,” Duterte said, warning that if it needs force removal of the chief magistrate, he would do it.

The President then asked House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez to fast-track the impeachment.

“I would ask Speaker Alvarez now, kindly fast-track the impeachment. She is bad for the Philippines,” Duterte said in a press interview at the Francisco Bangoy International Airport shortly before departing for the People’s Republic of China to attend the Boao Forum of Asia.

“Do it now. Huwag ninyong dramahin (Don’t be dramatic about it) or else I’ll do it for you,” he said.

The Chief Executive’s remarks came after Sereno asked the President to publicly explain why it was Solicitor General Jose Calida who filed the quo warranto petition.

Sereno was quoted in reports saying, “If you really didn’t have anything to do with this, please explain why Solgen Calida, who reports to you, filed the quo warranto petition. Surely you must explain to the people why this unconstitutional act.”

However, Sereno’s insinuation that he has something to do with the impeachment does not sit well with the President.

Duterte said he had made it clear that he had nothing to do with Sereno’s ouster, saying, it has never been his character to get back at enemies even at the time when he was facing many cases filed by his political nemesis former Speaker Prospero Nograles.

“But if you are insisting -count me in,” he told Sereno.

“Sinabi ko na hindi ako nakikialam (I have said I don’t interfere),” he stressed.

Sereno on Monday said the public could no longer be deceived as it is clear that her impeachment in Congress and the filing of quo warranto petition had the President’s go-signal.

“Filipinos are smart. They understand. You do not need to spell out the truth for them…It can’t be denied that there is an unseen hand behind this,” the Chief Justice said.

Sereno made this comment a day before the scheduled oral argument on the quo warranto petition where she is expected to appear before her fellow magistrates and answer their questions in relation to the allegations made in the petition.

The Solicitor General argued that Sereno did not meet the specific qualification of proven integrity for the Chief Justice post with her failure to comply with the required submission of her 10-year statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALNs).

It may be recalled that Calida’s petition against Sereno stemmed from a letter filed by suspended lawyer Eligio Mallari, urging him to initiate a quo warranto proceeding against her.

Sereno, who has gone on indefinite leave to prepare for her impending impeachment trial, insisted that the SC has no jurisdiction and authority to remove her from office because the 1987 Constitution provides that she could only be ousted by impeachment in Congress as an impeachable official.

A quo warranto proceeding is an action by the government against a person who unlawfully holds a public office or holds a position where he or she is not qualified.

Calida insisted that a quo warranto proceeding is a “proper remedy to question the validity of Sereno’s appointment”. (with reports from Christopher Lloyd Caliwan/PNA)

New city councilor assumes post in Davao DAVAO CITY -- Newlyappointed City Councilor Carmelo Clarion will attend his first session on Tuesday after taking oath before Mayor Sara DuterteCarpio on Monday at City Hall.

In an interview with the press, Clarion vowed to address the needs of the barangays in his district especially on water supply in elevated areas.

Clarion is the 8th councilor for the city’s third district.

“I’d like to take some time and go around the

82 barangays of the third district to know what they need, but for now I can see that there is a need of potable water,” he said.

He said some areas in Toril lack supply of water because it cannot reach to elevated or remote areas where water is scarce.

D uter te-C ar pio explained that Clarion was chosen to help the barangays having served as a barangay captain for eight years prior to his appointment.

“There was a discussion among the members of

Hugpong Tawong Lungsod as to the replacement of Vice Mayor Al-ag after he assumed the Vice Mayorship, and then it came out that it was better to choose a barangay captain to address issues in the grassroots level,” the mayor said.

She is confident that Clarion will help in legislating issues to help improve the situation not only in the third district but the entire city on matters of security and development, and public service.

Clarion said he is ready to take the challenge of the

mayor to improve the city and give better services to the Dabawenyos.

“Since the party chose me and the mayor showed her confidence in me I am willing to accept all the challenges and to take this responsibility,” he said.

Clarion was the Barangay Captain of Barangay Mulig in Toril District before he was appointed as the replacement for Vice Mayor Bernard Al-ag who assumed office as the new Vice Mayor after Paolo Duterte resigned last December 25. (Funny Pearl Gajunera/PNA)

Duterte warns to place Boracay under land reform DAVAO CITY -- President Rodrigo Duterte warned on Monday to put the island of Boracay under the land reform program and give it back to the poor farmers as he reminded critics that the island is agricultural and forestal owned by the government.

The President also announced he will be issuing an order proclaiming Boracay under a state of calamity.

His warning came on the heels of accusations that Boracay’s six-month closure was to pave the way for the construction of a

casino which the President debunked.

“Far from it actually. I never said about building anything…not even a nipa hut there,” he told reporters in a press interview at the Francisco Bangoy International Airport before his departure for the People’s Republic of China to attend the Boao Forum of Asia.

“I’ve said it before, agricultural ‘yan forestal. Unless there is a law or a proclamation of the president setting aside anything there, any inch of land maybe, then that would be all right for other people to go in,” he

pointed out.

The President emphasized on his order to clean the island. “So mag-clean, mag sarado (we clean, we close). There is one way in and one way out,” he stressed.

Duterte reiterated his commitment to giving financial aid and making available some PHP2 billion for assistance but, only to the poor residents who will be affected by the closure.

But for the owners or resorts, hotels and the rich owning beautiful resorts, the President said he would not spend any single cen-

tavo. The foreigners who have settled there would not also get reparations and remunerations.

“Do not expect me to pay anything. That money is only intended for the Filipinos,” he said.

“Yung two billion diyan and the other help…each department has its own contingency plan. So meron -- magtulungan kami. But master plan? Wala akong master plan diyan. Linisin ko muna ‘yan kasi agricultural ‘yan (The two billion and the other help…each department has each own contingency plan. There is

-- we will help each other.

But master plan? I have no master plan there. I will clean it up first because that’s agricultural),” he stressed.

“I-land reform ko lahat ‘yan, then I’ll give it to the farmers. I’ll give them the tractors (I will have it under land reform, then I’ll give it to the farmers. I’ll give them the tractors),” he added.

“Give it to the people who need it most,” he said.

The President hinted at upholding the law which says it is forestal, agricultural. “Why would I devi-

ate from that? Do I have a good reason to do it?

What? casino? Who owns the casino?” he quipped.

Last week, the President approved the closure of Boracay for six months starting on April 26 to hasten cleanup and rehabilitation to stop further environmental degradation of the island.

The closure of Boracay was prompted by continued water pollution, discharge of untreated wastewater into the environment, and encroaching in wetlands and forestland. (Lilian C. Mellejor/PNA)

Classroom Management: The most essential aspect in achieving a genuine education

By Frandelin L. Baba Mainantang Elementary School

Teacher plays a crucial role in educating our young.

Inside the classroom, there are different roles they take namely; the second parents, model, counselor, facilitator, lecturer, manager, etc. The role as a classroom manager posed a high regard of all the roles since the rest are anchored on this for the success of the achievement of the learning objectives. It is one of the most important parts in the teaching-learning process. Hence, a teacher should have an ample knowledge of classroom management strategies. A well-managed classroom will provides a conducive learning environment where in a smooth transition of all the activities is clearly observed, and learners are actively participating.

But, a teacher cannot teach effectively and efficiently in a poorly managed classroom.

There is no effective learning to happen if the learners are inattentive, unruly and noisy. If that misbehaviour wouldn’t be address prior to the delivery of the lesson then, failure in achieving the learning objective is the result. Both the teacher and

the learners suffer from the consequence. Teacher’s effort will be worthless, and the learners learned nothing.

This is a perennial problem that most of the teachers are facing nowadays. They had a great struggle on how to manage the classroom since every learner is varied.

Today’s generation are very energetic. They had their unique personality from the other which posed misunderstanding and conflicts.

Added, is the influence of the multimedia which made them to be separated from the real world specifically in the classroom. Teachers find hard to control the misbehavior of their learners. Even the most intelligent teacher did not escape from this torment.

Classroom management is really the hardest and the most essential aspect in achieving a genuine education. It is understood that all teachers are equipped with enough knowledge regarding the subject matter. However, the mode of the delivery is the question, is the classroom conducive to learning?

A conducive learning environment is a classroom that has a well-organized furniture’s, well-ventilated and

has a well-behaved learners.

It is an enormous wish for most teachers to have such kind of learning environment.

But, it does not appear easily as we want it. It will shed a lot of sweats and even tears before achieving such kind of classroom. A teacher should give more focus on studying and discovering ways and techniques of managing the classroom. Some scholars presented some principles of attaining a well manage classroom. Among these are the following; have a consistent and proactive discipline, establish a classroom routine, and be aware of all the actions and activities in the classroom (Corpuz B., Salandanan G., 2012).

Therefore, teacher must be equipped with the needed virtue to effectively manage the classroom. He/ she should be firmed in imposing discipline, consistent in all his/her words and fair in dealing to all learners. Address the problem quickly and calmly to prevent it from getting worse. As a classroom manager, a teacher should be aware of what is happening inside so, he must be sensitive and observant. This will give an impression to the learners

that they are really cared and their actions should be in accordance to what the teacher expect them to be. Thus, making them responsible and cautious in all their actions is necessary.

On the other hand, all these research findings are just a guide to every teacher.

The implementation of these principles will depend largely on the strategies and teaching styles of a teacher.

There are no best classroom management strategies; however, there are many effective and efficient way that are applicable to diverse group of learners.

Therefore, teachers play a crucial role in establishing a well-managed classroom.

Only teachers can decide which to apply since they are the one who has a direct encounter of his learners.

Classroom management needs a thorough study personally by the teacher himself and cannot be attain within a splash but through a continuous and dynamic process. The important there is to keep going and just enjoy the situation.

The main thought here is to explore, to learn and to apply what we learned.

Child Protection Policy

By Grace A. Atlao Mainantang Elementary School

The Department of Education implements the DepED Order No. 40, s.

2012. This policy aims to protect children in school from abuse, violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying and other forms of abuse.

Based in 1987 constitution, Section 3 , Article XV stated that the state shall defend the right of children to assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and another conditions prejudicial to their development.

This policy is refers to bona fide pupils who are enrolled in the basic education system, whether regular, irregular, transferee or repeater, including those who have temporarily out of school like participating in

school sanctioned activities.

The school vividly cares the students not only in molding their intellectual capabilities, but also their physical and psychological aspect. The school provides safe environments for children. Providing safe environments to the students boost their confidence to perform better. In fact, the school promotes the slogan stated “A child friendly school” to discourage any form of bullying either from teachers or from students.

This means that the school promotes child protection policy.

As a teacher, it is our responsibility to take care our pupils. It is our duties to provide special protection to our pupils as considered as the second parents to them.

Molding their intellectual capabilities boost their confidence by providing a safe environment.

much more action in opposing PDU30’s brazen move against Sereno.

The church is likewise effectively halted now from identifying itself with Sereno otherwise they’ll end up taxed by the State.

What a gangland style of governance that since its ascension to power had been reinforced by the shameful support of social media trolls and a few so-called decent men and women of society who are no different to the decent men and women who worked for the crucifixion of Jesus on the Cross.

“Elsewhere?” Bazooka cut M16 as it gawked M79 almost telling him to respond.

M79: “I don’t know too.”

Garand: “That’s the problem with you: you bragged to the hilt without you even knowing where that green plastic thing comes from.”

M79: “Why are you insulting me?” “Do you know how I am highly prized by my master?”

Before Garand could answer M79, a sound of big boots stopped him.

Thump! Thump!

Silence dawned upon them. Their masters were still in state of “tahammul.”

They were “kiyapupungan” – in immobile condition. The guns looked at each other; they’d resort to whisper.

I loved a “patulakan,” jokingly murmured Rifle Grenade.

“Pssst!” Bazooka signaled everyone to keep quite with a finger in its mouth.

Mindanawons without good jobs and has led to the emigration of many talented people.”

It noted that except for a few export agricultural crops, the agriculture sector is not very productive, inadequate infrastructures limit growth of manufacturing, and agricultural workers who cannot land jobs in cities often end up in the low-productivity, low skill services sector.

It explained that improving production in Mindanao could reduce

food and input prices, improve welfare, and make Philippine products more competitive.

The report’s main components are: raise agricultural productivity and improve farm-to-market connectivity; boost human development; and address drivers of conflict and fragility and build up institutions in Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

The MJR also identified three priorities to maximize the potentials of Mindanao such as raising farm productivity through agro spatial approaches and productive alliances; building up logistics services, improving roads from fields to markets; and developing key ports and modernize custom procedures.

Improve connectivity The report also emphasized the need to connect the rural and conflictaffected areas to cities because they serve as “conduits of rural development” since the rural areas rely on cities for food processing, marketing, and logistics support to deliver produce to other markets here and abroad.

“B etter r ura l ro ads would reduce cost and product losses for poor farmers and could make a major contribution to reducing poverty,” it said.

The report suggested giving incentives to local government units to encourage them create a comprehensive rural roads plan and help them fund for these road projects to stimulate productivity and equity, and create jobs.

It said rural road investments should be targeted in remote villages in conflict-affected areas as those infrastructure projects would open up market access and make government presence more felt, which also addresses grievances that sustain insurgency.

“Furthermore, devoting resources to alternatives to road investments in the most remote areas, by investing horses, cable lines, and pathway clearing, could suffice and improve transportation,” the report said.

It added that a more centralized planning of urban road projects would better connect cities with the countryside, stating that congestions, limited road networks, and inadequate maintenance impair safety and slow the shipment of goods.

Resolving land disputes The MJR also recommended resolving land disputes while respecting traditional land allocation practices, putting place measures to secure land titles in an equitable manner in order to promote economic efficiency, and investing in education and health of farmers.

“Together, human capital development and more

secure property rights could be the catalysts for investment that helps raise the current low returns to labor and land,” it added.

The MJR added the agriculture research would have more impact if it centers on research addressing gaps in promising value chains, and adaptation to climate change, and not only rice.

Mindanao also needs better planning and more incentives for efficient water and inventor y of water resources more than government-initiated expansions of irrigations, according to MJR. It recommended the continuation of decentralizing the responsibility for operations and maintenance to irrigators associations because “irrigation has not been used much to raise agricultural production” due to low investment and inadequate maintenance and emphasized the need for irrigation service fees to fund both the operation and maintenance of irrigation systems and the organizational development activities of irrigators associations.

Cut trade costs The MJR added cost of shipping can be reduced by consolidating port operations to increase sale, for instance, by channeling all domestic goods to Mindanao International Container Terminal (MICT) in Misamis Oriental or shipping domestic cargo through MICT and international cargo through Davao region.

The report recommended lifting the requirement to obtain license for domestic vessels to ship goods to foreign ports in order to facilitate partnerships between domestic and foreign companies, and allowing foreign ships to serve domestic ports to stir competition and reduce shipping cost.

It said this will “open up access to technology and a larger market share, strengthen safety standards, and enable operators to choose the mix of domestic and export cargo that maximizes cargo load.”

“Laws and regulations could also be revised to ensure the VAT (value added tax) is not charged on the full value of ships chartered for temporary period, eliminate the percentage of cargo-handling fees,” it added.

The MJR suggested allocation of more resources for testing, increasing laboratory capacity, and technology to improve compliance for major export products as the country’s agricultural exports are rejected in foreign markets due to failure to meet phytosanitary standards.

It said the Department of Agriculture’s “oversight, equipment, and training” are substandard while inconsistent policies for accrediting private laboratories. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

operations to clear the area of UXOs and IEDS (improvised explosive devices). It had cleared around 80%, allowing Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) and the City Government of Marawi to initiate Kambisita sa MAA (Visit the MAA) where for three days per sector on April 1 to May 10, residents from the 24 barangays could return to their villages to salvage whatever they can from the rubble of what used to be their home.

But Housing Secretary Eduardo del Rosario, TFBM chair, told MindaNews on Friday afternoon that Ground Zero residents can return to the area to rebuild their homes there “most likely first quarter 2020.”

He told Malacanang reporters on Friday noon that the timeline for the debris clearing and site development in Ground Zero is “about 18 months” from June 7, the target date for groundbreaking.

“So if that is undertaken on time, then after 18 months, or one year and six months, the different owners — we will do it by phasing — can apply for construction of building permit, housing permit from the city government so that once and for all everything will be organized because we don’t have a data bank, data base of all these buildings and houses,” he said.

“We will only allow (residents to rebuild) once the developer is through with their site development in providing the utilities, then the individual private owners of lots can apply for a building permit from the city government,” del Rosario said.

“Do not hurry me up” Duterte said residents should not believe the left, who, he claimed, has been telling residents that “we will not allow this, we will not allow that.”

“I do not receive orders from anybody. Wala ako dyan.

Kung anong sabihin ko as President na yan ang mabuti, wag ninyo akong pakialaman.

(I’m not into that. When I as President say this is good, do not meddle with me). I will do … basta sigurado ako (for as long as I am sure), I will do what is best for you so do not hurry me up,” Duterte said.

He revealed China is donating additional 500 million for Marawi although he did not indicate if the amount was in Chinese yuan, US dollars or Philippine peso.

Duterte said Marawi cannot be rebuilt with just a few million pesos, given the extent of destruction of the country’s lone Islamic city.

Del Rosario last Friday said it would take from 17 to 20 billion pesos to rehabilitate Ground Zero or the MAA and another 55 billion pesos for areas outside the MAA. The MAA used to be the commercial district and home to 24 of Marawi City’s 96 barangays.

“Just stay put. Kung wala naman kayong pera, at wala naman kayong plano (If you don’t have money and you don’t have a plan), leave it

Wednesday, April 11, 2018 to government. But for you to impose upon me conditions, I am sorry. You just have to follow government.

I, we did not create the chaos there. Pinapasok kasi ninyo yung mga gago eh (You allowed those fools to enter),” Duterte said, referring to the Maute Group that laid siege on Marawi on May 23 last year, along with its allies.

“I am not mad at you, but please next time…” Duterte said without finishing his sentence.

He said the military camp of “regimental size” in Marawi “will stay there” because “it will assure Marawi of eternal peace,” explaining he does not want a repeat of what happened last year. “(Sa) ayaw man ninyo at sa hindi, kagaya ng Boracay (Whether you like it or not, like Boracay), that is it,” Duterte said, referring to the tourist destination he ordered closed to visitors for six months, for rehabilitation.

Residents of Marawi are not objecting to the presence of the regimental size camp which is Kampo Ranao, base of the 103rd Infantry Brigade for decades. What they are objecting to is the construction of yet another military camp at the site of the Old City Hall whose groundbreaking was graced by President Duterte on January 30.

Army Chief Lt. Gen. Rolando Joselito Bautista on January 31 told MindaNews that a battalion under the 103rd will occupy the new military camp. “No new division will be deployed or moved to Marawi,” he said.

“We have the money, we will help you,” Duterte said, still addressing Marawi residents. “It is not intended for everybody lalo na those who do not need it,” he said, referring to opportunists whom he did not name.

“Mas bright ako sa inyo” (I am more intelligent than you are), said the country’s first Mindanawon President, whose grandmother was a Meranaw.

Reactions from Marawi Drieza Lininding who actively campaigned for Duterte’s Presidential bid, said he “never imagined that I would live to witness a tyrant dictator addressing us victims of the Marawi Siege and putting the blame on us.”

“There’s no point in arguing with him. We are helpless and we put our fate entirely to our creator who controls everything. But we will continue to assert our rights and sentiments,” he said.

Lininding appealed to the President to ask Congress “to conduct an inquiry on what really transpired before and during the siege” so that “once and for all we can move on.”

“For us who lost everything and being blamed for it as if it is our own doing, the injury is double for us. May we also remind the President whom we campaigned hard for in the past election that the Philippines is still a democratic country that respects and follows the law.

What he says or wants is not the law. Due process must be observed here and we know

11

where he is going with this.

He cannot fool us again,” he said.

Samira Ali Gutoc of Ranao Rescue Team stressed “it is our right to return, a fundamental obligation of the State to facilitate for internal refugees.”

“No cash aid, no food aid, the way to survive is to get back to our commune,” she said.

“We deserve self-determination in housing, shelter to be truly federal. Teach us to fish, not just give us fish. We have to drive away heartbreak, angst, joblessness, frustration by hammering every nail back to its place,” she added.

The Ranaw Multi Sectoral Movement (RMSM) in its open letter of appeal to President Duterte on March 29, urged him to grant the Meranaws their right to rebuild Marawi City, noting that “forces are moving that threaten to do far greater damage to our people than what the war has done.”

“In the guise of rebuilding our homes, in the guise of laying down the foundations of a better, progressive and modern city, the will and vision of those who live far from us who built this city are being imposed upon us. This is an invasion of a different kind. This one threatens to rob our soul,” said the appeal, distributed via social media and read at the March 30 rally in Marawi.

Del Rosario on Friday said awarding of the contract is targeted for May 31 and groundbreaking will be held on June 7. Completion of debris clearing and site development is expected end of 2019. Residents can return and rebuild their homes by first quarter of 2020 and completion of the entire project is last quarter of 2021. (Carolyn O.
