IN MARAWI CITY: War-affected residents line up for ‘Kawiyagan’

By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

MARAWI City--Hundreds of internally displaced persons (IDPs) trooped to the city hall ground here, on Thursday, August 22, trying their luck to be given the livelihood assistance the government, through the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM), has promised to them as part of the rehabilitation and rebuilding of Marawi City.

Wearing his big smile, Camal Batabor went home bringing a big box full of grocery items for his sarisari store he requested from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) when he registered his name a year ago when the TFBM

launched the Kawiyagan.

Dubbed as “Siyap sa Marawi, Gagaw ko Pagtao” or Pag-aalaga sa Marawi, Pagmamahal sa Kapwa in Filipino (Caring Marawi is loving your fellow in English), Kawiyagan is a series of distribution of livelihood assistance to the IDPs organized by the members of Sucommittee on Business and Livelihood of TFBM. Batabor, who is living in Barangay Ambolong, lost his sari-sari store when his family evacuated during the Marawi siege in 2017.

Ambolong is located outside the most affected area (MAA) but several houses were destroyed, some were burned and many were See RESIDENTS, page 11

A group of internally displaced women register at the booth, set by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), at the 1st anniversary of Kawiyagan to get included in the list of interested persons to undergo livelihood trainings of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) on Thursday, August 22 at the City Hall Ground in Marawi City. Kawiyagan is a series of distribution of livelihood assistance to the internally displaced persons organized by the members of Subcommittee on Business Livelihood of the Task Force Bangon Marawi.

Islamic schools want gov’t recognition–study

By BONG S. SARMIENTO MindaNews

GENERAL Santos City-Majority of madaris, or private Islamic schools, in the Bangsamoro region and adjacent areas want government recognition to get needed support, a study conducted by a Mindanao think tank showed.

Citing results of the study titled “Research on Traditional Madaris in ARMM and Adjacent Regions,” Benedicto Bacani, executive director of the Cotabato City-based In-

stitute for Autonomy and Governance (IAG), said that most madaris are struggling with their operations due to limited resources and are hoping for government interventions.

ARMM stands for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, which has been replaced by the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in February.

The study was launched in Manila on Thursday, August 22.

PNP acquires 10 new choppers

By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO City--The Philippine National Police (PNP) has acquired 10 new helicopters to further enhance its crime-fighting capability, an official said on Thursday.

Lt. Gen. Archie Francisco Gamboa, PNP deputy chief

for operations, said the new helicopters worth PHP1.75 billion will be the police’s first active air assets since 2009.

Gamboa said the new air assets consist of two training choppers costing PHP90 million each, seven See CHOPPERS, page 11

KITAOTAO, Bukidnon -Police and military authorities led the exhumation on Thursday of three bodies that witnesses said belonged to individuals abducted and later on killed by communist rebels three years ago.

The military identified the bodies as that of Joel Rey Galendez, a retired policeman, 43, resident of Bunawan Agusan del Sur; Dionisio Camarillo Havana, 37, resident of Sto. Nino, Carmen in Davao del Norte, and a tribal leader in Agusan del Sur; and Sgt. Reynante Havana España, 42, a resident of San Francisco town, Agusan del Sur, who was then assigned at an Army unit in Surigao del Sur. Authorities and relatives

Ledesma endorses enactment of PES law “MANY say God will provide through the bounty of nature but if we let nature generate itself it will take thousands of years to recover.”

This was the message, in part, of Most Reverend Archbishop Antonio Ledesma of the Roman Catholic ChurchArchdiocese of Cagayan de Oro, regarding the proposed ordinance providing for the promotion of ecological services protection and imposing regulatory fees for the use thereof, as read by Dr. Hilly Ann Roa-Quiaoit, Executive Director of the Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council (CDORBMC) during Monday’s regular session presided over by Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin V. Uy. The proposed ordinance, whose purpose is to restore the environment in the city and the entire ecosystem, was drafted as early as 2013 but is still subject for adoption by the 19th City Council, the archbishop recalled.

“I would like to tell everyone that if we talk about the environment, it should not be taken as a political unit but rather an ecosystem.

Whatever happens to the city, it is affected by what’s going on in the upstream.

That we should not work

only in the city but also with other municipalities like Talakag, Libona and Baungon, all in Bukidnon,” Ledesma emphasized.

For her part, Dr. Quiaoit said that out of the four identified services, the group wanted to focus on the provisioning services of water.

“Many have been criticizing the proposed ordinance because they are saying they are already paying the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD).

But the water, being pumped from the ground to your respective households that is the bill that you are paying either in COWD or in whatever water service provider,” she clarified.

The ordinance seeks to reward the environment as the source of the water, par-

ticularly the ground water coming from the forest which in turn absorbs rainwater towards the service provider.

It pushes for the re-charging of the existing water shed, she further pointed out.

As author of the proposed ordinance, and after hearing all the comments and suggestions raised by Archbishop Ledesma and the CDORBMC, Councilor Ian Mark Q. Nacaya proposed for the city government to provide a signal to the global community that we are now protecting our environment and embracing the ecological services of water.

With a strong civic organization like CDORBMC and other Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and religious leadership, who have been eagerly pushing for this ordinance, Nacaya expressed hope that the same be duly adopted by the present members of the City Council so as to secure the future generation.

The matter was referred back to the City Legal Office and to the committees on finance and on environment for thorough study with regards to the regulatory fees that should be imposed by the ordinance. (SP/JAO)

NPA ATROCITY. A team of police and military personnel exhumes the remains of one of the three individuals abducted and killed by the New People’s Army sometime in August 2017 in Kitaotao town, Bukidnon. The gravesites were discovered after a rebel militiaman who surrendered to government authorities two months ago revealed the location of the gravesites. (PNA photo by Rhoda Grace Saron)

said the three victims and a minor were heading home on board a vehicle from Cagayan de Oro City on Aug. 22, 2017 when they were intercepted at a roadblock set up by the New People’s Army (NPA) in Sitio Nabunturan, Barangay Digonga, Kitaotao.

Evelyn Galendez, sister of Joel Rey, said the latter was accompanied by his 15-year old son who was eventually released - two months later - by the NPA. Closure Galendez, who said the three victims were relatives, was one of the family members who joined the authorities during Thursday’s exhumation, hoping

to bring closure to their kin’s disappearance and eventual death.

Aida España, wife of Sgt. Reynante who also witnessed the recovery of the remains, sobbed as she narrated how she learned about what had happened to her husband and her relatives.

“It hurts deeply. I expected that he’s still alive but this is what had happened to him,” Aida said.

“We are somehow relieved that our long search has ended, but it really hurts that things turned out this way,” she added.

According to Aida, the families only knew of the victims’ abduction by the

Media Advisory: Delay in the processing of UMID card applications filed starting 30 July 2019 Social Security System (SSS) members are advised that the processing of Unified Multipurpose Identification (UMID) card applications received starting 30 July 2019 onwards will be delayed due to the stoppage of the Central Verification System (CVS).

CVS operation stopped due to its hard disk failure. The CVS is being administered by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to perform biometric uniqueness check of UMID applicants.

The PSA is already working to restore the CVS back into operation at the soonest possible date.

With guidance from the PSA, SSS will issue another advisory once the CVS processing is restored.

NPA when several people approached them to inform that a ransom was needed for their release.

She said her family had sent emissaries and even paid money for his release.

She did not specify the amount paid but said the abductors demanded the payment to cover for supposed custodial expenses.

“There were negotiations for my husband’s release.

However, nothing came out of it but they kept on asking (for) money from us because my husband was still alive.

They said they will use the money for expenses,” Aida told the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

Lt. Col. Silas Trasmontero, commander of the Army’s 89th Infantry Battalion, said they discovered the location of the victims’ remains by chance during one of their community meetings in the area recently.

In one of those meetings, Trasmontero said several community members themselves offered information concerning the victims’ murder and their burial site.

PANA calls for more collaboration with UPMG to deliver key messages to the public

IN today’s fast-changing time, every business or organization needs to champion responsible brand building to ensure continued success. This had been the overarching insight in the recently held 7th general membership meeting of the United Print Media Group (UPMG) with the topic, “Building Brands Beyond Media Advertising.”

Leading the discussion about the topic was guest speaker Chito S. Maniago, president of the Philippine Association of National Advertisers (PANA), the biggest and oldest non-stock, non-profit organization that unites the users of advertising belonging to every major industry in the country.

In his presentation, Mr. Maniago underscored the importance of brand building to the success of the company or an organization and selecting the most suitable channels to convey stories.

He also encouraged more collaboration with UPMG members to deliver stories to the public in an engaging manner.

“Considering the limited resources we have, we have to be very creative and strategic. Right now, when

you speak of advertising, you consider digital, videos, Web site portals, handheld devices, apps, and a whole gamut of things. There are a lot of touchpoints we are

now considering for us to say [that] we are building our brands,” Mr. Maniago said.

Citing a data from Kantar, Mr. Maniago shared that

the Internet and Web sites are the primary sources of consumers these days when it comes to brand information due to their accessibility. This is followed by friends and

family, review sites, social media, advertising, company Web sites, print, blogs, and celebrity endorsements.

“The advertising mix we see here is a combination of

both traditional and new channels, as well as, let’s say, institutional and personal channels,” Mr. Maniago said, highlighting the significance of customer touchpoints, or the brand’s points of customer contact from start to finish, in this matter.

According to Mr. Maniago, it is important to identify and improve the touchpoints along the way to help get proper feedback from the clients to ensure that the brand is built beyond traditional means.

At present, Mr. Maniago noted that brand building is synonymous to reputation building that encompasses several disciplines.

“At the end of the day, no successful brand will be in a pedestal if the overall reputation of a company, of an organization, or the brand itself, is formidable… This is very important because it ensures our license to operate. When we say license to operate, it is ensuring that there is no business disruption,” Mr. Maniago explained.

In his presentation, Mr. Maniago also identified key strategies to build brands outside traditional media.

These include brand building See DELIVER, page 11

Succession Feng Shui!

DO you know your successor in your family, then business be it family biz or not?

Sustainability and stability of family legacy is the objective of successful succession Feng Shui! In Chinese tradition of old, eldest sons are the anointed successor! In Indian tradition, eldest daughter, being a matriarchal society. But now anything goes for modern families.

But in Feng Shui science, here are steps to successful succession: * First do Feng Shui analytics on your Feng Shui profile and each individual succession subject or candidate be it for family or business or both.

“From the above assessment determine the best compatible or match to succeed you not on the basis of love or emotions

but strictly on lucky Feng Shui element. If it matches yours. * Do Feng Shui succession transition management to migrate the helm to your chosen successor.

It is the last part that is most challenging! Why? As power struggles exist among successors let alone sibling rivalries in families, one has to resort to limiting undesirable contenders to make the chosen one win and succeed you.

This is where in ancient even to modern times the rooms at home and offices of the chosen one are enhanced to secure their succession in a biased favored intentional way!

While the others are made handicapped and disempowered via Feng Shui either by inducing ill health or at worst death by

natural means! Techniques are a dime a dozen here like doing semibad Feng Shui in their bedroom or offices and externally doing moves akin to sorcery and voodoo.

These are the simplest and uncomplicated of rules. Unlike in reality of families or firms now who don’t know Feng Shui the common acts of treason for succession are will or estate forgery, getting the competitors out of the way either by killing them via poison, hitmen, or drugs! Or vanishing them in mental hospital by virtue of “insanity”!

Not to mention legal wars on the care and possession of the only surviving parent to be able to succeed in the business by way of special power of attorney or deception in plain sight!

Master Aldric

Yes in this competitive succession game of survival of the fittest and smartest, lucky succession is indeed a lifetime challenge.

So choose, and act carefully using Feng Shui as the best management decision making tool! Just protect your back, front, and sides all the way. Learn from Julius Ceasar’s end as well as Jesus Christ!

Only in this case can we note that if money cannot buy everything, love too cannot succeed you even in the best and noble of human intentions.

Remember to choose a good successor is divine. An act of divinity that echoes throughout eternity! Good luck.

Think A Minute

The long and winding road

THINK a minute.

After my teenage son learned to drive, he still did not learn the quickest, shortest route to where he wanted to go. He often ended up turning a 10-minute drive into a 20-minute journey.

Taking the long way home cost him a lot of wasted time and money for fuel. Yet often in life we take the long and winding road to get where we want to be.

Life is short, yet we take so long to learn how to live it well. “Experience may be a good teacher, but it charges us a high price for the lessons we learn.”

BECAUSE of simple math that theoretically extrapolated numbers of rare days of good conduct by an inmate that serves seven life sentences, the nation went agog when rapist and multiplemurderer Antonio Sanchez was said to be a candidate for deliverance.

It would have just been a conjecture except that neophyte Sen. Ronaldo “Bato” dela Rosa advanced an opinion that Sanchez “deserves” a second chance. For his knee-jerk reaction and an equally repulsive statement, the Senator was subject to public stoning that he gets from the social media and barbershop talks. That simple

It makes no sense to ask 2 plus 2 to equal 5.

Just like it makes no sense to ask God to change the facts of right and wrong so I can live my own way.

And what if God said it was OK for me to do the wrong thing I want to do?

Then how would I feel if God let someone else do that wrong thing to me or to someone in my family?

He shows us His right ways for our happiness and safety! Jesus declared that He is the only way to true life. Follow Him and He will lead you where you

want to go. He knows this land called life. He made it. Trust Him. So won’t you ask Jesus to forgive you for living your way? Then ask Him to take full charge of your heart and daily way of living, so you can stop taking wrong turns and dead-end streets.

He is the only One Who can lead you off the long and winding road to the straight and only way home, where your satisfying, everlasting life is waiting for you.

IN an effort to commercialize the technologies from research and development institutes (RDI), the Technology Application and Promotion Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-TAPI) organized a technology portfolio and mentoring workshop on 15 August 2019 at the Herald Suites Hotel Solana, Makati City.

The activity is in collaboration with the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOSTPCAARRD) under the project on market matching of DOST-PCAARD-funded technologies in support to the technology transfer activities of the Department.

“The DOST wants your technologies to reach the target users as public goods or through commercialization,” said Mr. Noel A. Catibog, Supervising Science Research Specialist of DOST-PCAARRD, during his welcome remarks.

The mentoring workshop secures and finalizes the business model canvas of the technology in view of providing technology generators with the necessary knowledge on efficient marketing techniques and development of technology portfolio.

Mr. Ruben Lanot II and Mr. Neal Tieng of Go Negosyo served as resource speakers and mentors who explored the details of market assessment and strategies, and marketing hacks and business model among the technology generators.

“No matter how innovative your technologies are, at the end of the day, investors would always want to know your story and the story behind your technologies,” said Lanot.

He also emphasized the importance of speaking the language of inventors or adoptors to be able to effectively communicate the benefits and features of the technologies being pitched to them.

SPH closed the first half of 2019 on a high note, posting 14 percent sales growth over the same period last year. “We started the year on the right foot and strengthened our efforts in Q2 to reach more Filipino customers. Our aggressive and strategic marketing campaigns are key in pushing up our position both in the Philippine automobile industry and CAMPI rankings. These achievements reflect the Filipinos’ growing trust in our brand and the quality Suzuki cars that we provide. We are more driven now more than ever to bring only quality driving experience in every Suzuki ride,” shared SPH Director and General Manager for Automobile Division Keiichi Suzuki.

Committed to giving quality driving experience to every Filipino, SPH continues to assure the market with best-performance vehicles such as the New Ertiga, Swift, Celerio, Dzire and Vitara.

The top-favorite 7-seater family vehicle Ertiga is still the number one best-selling Suzuki vehicle in this year’s lineup with a 34 percent share of sales. The introduction of the new Ertiga Black Interior ramped up sales even further. Its fuel efficiency and spacious interior complement the elegance and modern style, giving the Ertiga a strong edge over its competitors.

Following Ertiga as a top-selling Suzuki vehicle is the hatchback well-loved by millennials. The Suzuki Swift contributed 13 percent to overall sales for the first half of the year.

Duterte’s proposed 31B not enough for substantial increase, more of the same inequitable SSL – ACT THE Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines hit the Duterte administration’s proposed Php31 billion budget for 1.2 million civilian government employees’ pay hike as it will not provide for a substantial salary increase.

The proposed amount will purportedly only grant a 10% increase in their compensation according to the estimates provided by DBM Sec. Avenido during the 2020 budget hearing in Congress.

“A meager 10% pay raise is not what President Duterte promised us. ‘A little bit bigger than before’ as the President put it in his last SONA does not mean it’s better and sufficient. Such will neither give due recognition to the significant work teachers and other rank-and-file employees do nor will it ‘tide us over’ in this economy,” said ACT Secretary General Raymond Basilio.

Basilio cited that the proEXTRA JUDICIAL PARTITION OF ESTATE WITH SALE

posed increase will only give entry-level public school teachers a paltry Php2,075 pay hike—an amount that is even less than the Php2,592 raise granted by Ramos to teachers in 1997 which had an inflation rate of 5.1%.

The group argued that the offered 2020 increase will not be enough to cover workers’ eroded salaries, which they have hardly recuperated from since inflation soared to 5.2% in 2018.

The teachers’ federation also warned that an acrossthe-board 10% increase still follows the ‘same gravely inequitable framework of the salary standardization law, which gave pitiful increases to lower salary grades while granting grossly large hikes to top officials.’

“A dramatic increase in the pay of civilian rankand-file employees would serve as a stop-gap measure in the ever widening gap between the salaries of orDEED OF SELF-ADJUDICATION OF SOLE HEIRSHIP OF THE ESTATE OF ROSA MAY P. PEPITO (WITH DEED OF ASSIGNMENT IN FAVOR OF APOLINARIO P. ESCALA)

dinary employees—which make up the overwhelming majority of public sector workers—and that of top officials. Not to mention the unfair doubling of uniformed personnel’s pay which further distorted the government’s salary scheme,” added Basilio.

The Duterte administration was further criticized for allocating Php64 billion for the doubling of military and police pay in 2018 while another Php70 billion was provided for their 2nd tranche of pay hike. Such amount, ACT argues, is highly disproportionate when the population of uniformed personnel and of civilian employees are to be compared.

“It’s unfortunate that the Duterte government would rather fund its machinery for war and fascism than its machinery for the delivery of social services,” lambasted Basilio.

ACT challenged the administration to measure up to the positive trend in both the lower and upper houses of Congress, which saw mostly meaningful pay hike proposals from legislators. The group cited that at least 5 bills in Senate and 29 bills in the House of Representatives proposed a minimum of Php30,000 salary for Teacher 1.

“These bills are a product of the successful exposition of the lamentable economic conditions of teachers and other civilian government employees. We have made our just demands heard through protests, lobbying, and dialogues despite the increasingly repressive measures imposed by the state against unionists such us ourselves. And we can assure President Duterte that more of such will transpire should they continue to deny us a chance at a decent life,” declared Basilio.

In fact, in just the first half of this year, we saw around 30,000 newly registered businesses every month,” says FVP & Head of PLDT SME Mitch Locsin.

“Indeed, no dream is too big for the Filipino and no business is too small for the Philippines.” Hernandez adds.

With the said campaign, PLDT Enterprise gives tribute to our national heroes of old and modern heroes of our time: the homemaker turned spa owner, the self-taught chef who just opened his cafe, the dress shop owner still learning the ins and outs of the apparel industry, and all the many others who persist and bravely take risks to create a better life for their families and fellow countrymen.

MSMEs continue to provide opportunities to our skilled workers, inspiring others to do the same; and all together they ignite the Filipino dream.

Labor union splits with KMU, forms new group

By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO City--Some 220 members and officers of the Musahamat Workers Labor Union (MWLU) in Compostela Valley province withdrew from the leftist Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) to form their own organization, a military official said Thursday.

1Lt Jhocell Asis, civilmilitary operations officer of the Army’s 71st Infantry Battalion (IB), said MWLU officers took their oath in Pantukan town on Tuesday after reorganizing under the new HKJ-3 Workers Union.

According to Asis, the MWLU members decided to bolt away from KMU because they felt being “used for selfish gains and being indoctrinated to go against the management of the company, resulting in different mass demonstrations.”

The KMU has long been identified by military authorities as one of the legal fronts of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), and recruitment ground for its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA). The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States,

In fact, Asis said the former MWLU members surrendered to the 71IB three months ago for being members of the NPA’s underground mass-based organization.

“They are now free and they will no longer give monthly dues to KMU. Most

importantly, they are no longer obliged to join rallies initiated by KMU,” the Army official said.

During Tuesday’s oathtaking ceremony, Asis said the HKJ-3 Workers Union thanked Lt. Col. Esteveyn Ducusin, commander of the 71IB, for shepherding the group’s transition from a KMU-affiliated organization into an independent workers’ union that only

look after the welfare of its members.

Ducusin said the union’s decision to break away from KMU reflects the level of cooperation among the Army, the local government units, and the national government.

“We will assure that we will continue to implement relevant activities for further development of the union,” Ducusin said. (PNA)

sacked by unidentified persons during the fivemonthlong war.

“I put in my request grocery items worth 15 thousand pesos but I was told this is only worth 6,500.

This will not fill the small structure I built but I will take care of this and will make this prosper,” Batabor said.

Before the siege, aside from a sari-sari store, he was also into delivery of grocery items services.

Not lucky enough Unlike Batabor, Asmin Omar has not yet started anew after her family left their home in Barangay Daguduban in May 2017.

Daguduban is one of the 24 barangays inside the MAA where the demolition and clearing operation is ongoing.

Omar’s family is living with a relative in Barangay Sagonsongan because she and her husband are not yet given a unit in the transitory shelter sites the government has built for the IDPs. “We don’t the chance to complete the requirements because we don’t have money to process it,” Omar said.

For a displaced family to get a transitory shelter: 1.) he must be a residence in the ground zero; 2.) the beneficiary must be willing to return to live in the transitory shelter; 3.) preference is given to beneficiaries whose house is totally damaged; 5.) the beneficiary must be poor, with no source of income; 6.) the beneficiary is previously living in a declared danger zone. This information will be certified by the barangay chairman by issuing a certification.

Omar’s husband, Mohammad, is a carpenter.

During the Kawiyagan, Asmin and Mohammad, registered at the booth set by the Office of the Peace Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), hoping to be included in the next batch of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) trainees.

Asmin wanted to learn how to make a cake and start a business related to it while Mohammad wanted to earn a certificate as welder to get a job with a salary enough to provide the needs of their small family.

They have a one year old child and Asmin is now five-month pregnant.

“I started training in TESDA before but I did not finish it because I have to spend more in driving a rented tricycle. That time, my wife has given birth to our firstborn and I need to double time in looking for money to sustain the needs of the baby and the whole family,” Mohammad said.

Like the couple, 18-year old Jamil Hasan, wants to learn cooking for he is dreaming of doing a business that sells foodies and cakes.

He is married with two

children aged one year old and a month old.

His family is now living with an older sibling in Marantao town in Lanao del Sur, after her parent’s house in Tuca Marinaut was burned during the siege.

He was a student when the siege happened and has to look for a job or business that could sustain his family’s needs.

Continuous interventions Erlinda Boniao, regional director of DTI-10, said the Kawiyagan is held every month since August 2017 and will continue until the displaced families and individuals are back into their normal lives.

She said several organizations are helping the Kawiyagan to showcase that the national government, humanitarian teams and the local government are uniting to help residents in Marawi.

“This will symbolize our synergy. Meaning, there are partnerships in the private and public government to give our IDPs starter kits for their livelihood activities,” Boniao said admitting there are IDPs who failed in their desired business.

“We monitored those we have given for their starter kit and capital (for business) and found out that instead of using the 15 thousand pesos cash (for their sarisari store), they use it in buying other needs for the family,” Boniao added.

However, the government’s private partners are monitoring those who have started their small business and they found others successful.

Success story Ali Macapanton, a youth volunteer of the Bangsamoro Movement for Welfare (BMW), is now making waves in their making of coffee in Barangay Their start up capital, including the machines in coffee-making, was given to them by the OPAPP. BMW is being supported by a non-government organization, Balay Mindanao, by giving trainings especially in the making of delicious coffee and giving it a good packaging.

Their product is named Khapeta Marawi “We choose to get involved in coffee business because we all know that Meranaws love coffee,” Macapanton said.

Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra in his message also said the Kawiyagan do not only help those who have lost their properties and business because of the siege but also those who are unemployed even before it happened.

“I am very pleased that many have been helped by trainings, grants in cash or in kind, by seeds, equipment and livestocks (for those who are inclined in agriculture or farming),” Gandamra said.

The chief executive said there are more IDPs being served because there are

Monday, August 26, 2019 many “hands, hearts and minds willing to extend their assistance”.

“The IDPs, all of them, especially the poorest of the poor, will someday have much better quality of life because of all the help given to them,” Gandamra said.

Bacani noted that the madrasah system is not getting the support it deserves from the government due to the principle of separation of the church and the state.

Madaris (singular: madrasah) generally refers to Muslim private schools with core emphasis on Islamic studies and Arabic literacy.

Currently, there are four types of programs offered by madaris: the Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE) for Filipino Muslim learners enrolled in the public schools nationwide; private madaris recognized by the Department of Education; Tahderriyah or kindergarten schools established in MILF communities with the UNICEF-BEAM Program for 3-5 years old children, and the traditional madaris that are operating outside the Philippine educational system.

“Traditional madaris are the most important educational institutions in Muslim Mindanao since they are looked up to not only as schools of learning but also as symbols of Islam,” the study stressed.

For the Moro people, they are the proper place to learn Islamic teachings and study Arabic language, it added.

From June 2018 until the second half of 2019, the IAG surveyed 1,850 heads of traditional madaris as part of the study conducted with the assistance of the Australian government.

Results of the study showed that 90 percent of those surveyed are interested in government recognition, eight percent are unsure, while only two percent shunned the idea altogether.

The study stressed that many of the madaris have no permit to operate and lack recognition by the government or any accrediting body in the Philippines.

They depend primarily on the spirit of volunteerism, sustaining their existence through contributions by parents of their students and donations from the community.

Majority of the madaris aspire for government recognition because of the technical or financial support they can get from the state, the study pointed out.

Government recognition, according to the study, is also seen as a necessary measure to correct misperceptions that madaris have become hubs of recruitment for terrorists or are producing graduates joining violent extremist groups.

Respondents believed that most of the traditional madaris are vulnerable to

extremism because of the absence of government system regulations and their dependence on third-party funding from Islamic countries. The latter has led to the perception that madrasah education is a breeding ground of extremism, an issue that developed as a consequence of the Marawi siege in 2017.

Among the government agencies that could provide recognition to traditional madaris are the National Council for Muslim Filipinos (NCMF); Bureau of Muslim Education in ARMM and Department of Education, as integrated madrasah; Technical Education and Skills Development Authority for the vocational and technical courses; and Commission on Higher Education for collegiate courses.

The study urged the passage of a law that will help the traditional madrasah grow and develop as an educational system suited to the needs of the Moro and Muslims in the Philippines. (Bong S. Sarmiento/ MindaNews)

through customer centricity and through sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

He said that being customer centric means thinking about the welfare of the customers first instead of the company. Meanwhile, in terms of brand building through sustainability and CSR, he said that organizations nowadays have to align their operations with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, as well as each of their CSR initiative with their core purpose.

In closing, Mr. Maniago told members of the UPMG to keep on evolving and growing their respective brands, while continuously understanding their market, looking for silver lining, promoting collaboration, and nurturing relationships.

“Print is here to stay,” Mr. Maniago assured. “Let’s collaborate more. Let it be a challenge for all of us to, really, define key messages that will resonate more to our audiences and ensure that we have fruitful and meaningful partnerships along the way.”

The UPMG’s 7th general membership meeting was hosted by Adobo Magazine, Mediawise Comm. (Muse Magazine) and Opinyon.

Gamboa said the two training helicopters will arrive in September this year and another two will be arriving in November. The remaining helicopters will be delivered sometime in June next year.

“I will be flying to France next week to test the helicop-

ters,” Gamboa added.

He said two helicopters will be assigned in the National Capital Region, two in the Visayas, and two in Mindanao.

Gamboa said lauded the government for “prioritizing the needs of the policemen by giving more than enough capital outlay to purchase various equipment.”

“When PRRD (President Rodrigo Roa Duterte) was not yet President, the PNP only got PHP2 billion budget for the entire year. For 20172019, the PNP was already given PHP26 billion budget,” he said.

The official said the helicopters were purchased in the United States, Canada, and France. (PNA)
