Tribal Leaders of Agusan and MisOr Unite to End Insurgency BUENAVISTA, Agusan del Norte -- A total of 55 Tribal Leaders of Higaonon, Banwaon and Manobo from the provinces of Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur and Misamis Oriental voice their stand to end Local Communist Armed Conflict on August 24, 2019 at Headquarters 23rd Infantry Battalion, Jamboree Site, Purok 6, Barangay Alubihid, Buenavista, Agusan del Norte. The activity was conducted to define the roles of Tribal Leaders in relation to the implementation of Executive Order 70 – Institutionalizing the Wholeof-Nation Approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. The Whole-of-Nation Approach requires the participation of not only the different agencies of the government but the different sectors of the community in addressing the very long existing insurgency caused by the CPP-NPA which hinders development particularly in the countryside. The different tribal leaders expressed their desire to fight the CPP-NPA to finally end local communist armed conflict. Present during the meeting were: Congresswoman Ma. Angelica Rosedell M. Amante-Matba, Representa-

tive, 2nd District of Agusan del Norte; Mr. Ferdaussi Cerna, the Regional Director of NCIP in CARAGA and Datu Bawang Eddie Ampiyawan, Provincial IP Mandatory Representative of Agusan del Norte. Meanwhile, Datu Bawang Eddie Ampiyawan extends his gratitude to the Local Government Unit of Agusan del Norte and to the 23IB for helping the IPs/lumads and for hearing their grievances against the CPP-NPAs who continuously sow terror in their communities. He also said “I encourage all Tribal Leaders to support the government to end insurgency. Let us be one in fighting the CPP-NPA for us to have peaceful community. We will not allow them to

Moreover, Congresswoman Angel Amante Matba expressed her appreciation for holding the activity in supporting the effort of the government in implementing E.O. 70 particularly in the province of Agusan del Norte. “I know that there are many IPs deceived and recruited by the NPAs. I can’t take it if lumads will fight against each other. Let us work hand-in-hand, converge our efforts to end insurgency.” – Cong. Amante-Matba added. Likewise, Director Cerna

K12 curriculum makes no homework policy impossible – ACT AS legislators and officials speak out against homework, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines raised that homework has become an inevitable part of teachers’ and students’ work due to the ‘unrealistic’ K12 curriculum, which the group says begs to be reviewed thoroughly to address the program’s many problems. “K12 was an experiment that tried to integrate a little bit of everything in a complicated manner, while leaving no ample time for mastery of subjects and development of critical thinking. Further, the range of topics and competencies set by the K to 12 curriculum are impossible to cover within formal class hours, resulting to added and beyond-school hour work for both teachers and students,” explained ACT National Chairperson Joselyn Martinez. Martinez further explained that K to 12 follows an outcome-based education (OBE) framework where students’ learning is measured by their outputs. This, says Martinez, demands that students produce several and varied forms of outputs for the assigned topic of the day, which teachers are required to design and

facilitate via their daily lesson logs (DLL). “For example, our DLL should indicate that a certain topic should be covered within, say, an hour. Such should entail a discussion or input part from the teacher and multiple activities to ensure learners are engaged, like reporting, skits, writing, poster-making, and many others,” shared Martinez. Martinez added that research work, which is done outside of class hours, has also been made heavier on both teachers and students under K to 12 due to the still severely lacking learning materials despite its 7-year implementation. “Students have more than one class and therefore are required to cover several topics and competencies daily. No amount of ‘budgeting of work’ can force students and teachers alike to accomplish more than what is realistically doable in a set period of time, hence the need to take home their school work,” explained Martinez. For teachers’ part, Martinez said that they too are pressured to issue homework to ensure the completion of their DLL, as it is See POLICY, page 5

New head 2Mech army brigade assumes post By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

ILIGAN City--The new commander of the Army’s 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, based in Barangay Maria Cristina this city will focus on “peace and development” as he assumed Friday (August 23) as new commander of the unit that have been dealing the New People’s Army (NPA) in the hinterlands of Iligan City and criminal groups in Lanao del Norte. The 2Mech has operational control over Iligan City and Lanao del Norte under the 1st Infantry Division, whose headquarters in Pulacan, Zamboanga del Sur. Col. Facundo Palafox IV, in his message during the change of command ceremony, said he is taking the responsibility as the new commander focusing on the peace and development that is everyone’s aspiration. “This is something we dream for ourselves, our children and our people. When we say “our”, this is all of us,” Palafox, an immediate past commander of the Army’s Civil Mili-

tary Operation Regiment (CMOR), said. He is a member of the Philippinae Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1990 who assumed the CMOR leadership after Brigadier General Romeo Brawner, Jr. who is now the commander

of the 103rd Infantry Brigade in a neighbouring city in Marawi. Palafox said he will ensure that the “vulnerable community” in his area of operations will be resilient to the various threats whether “man-made of

natural calamities”. But his leadership would only succeed and the unit’s efforts will be achieved if all the civic-minded and peaceloving people in Lanao del Norte and Iligan City are willing to sacrifice and put See HEAD, page 5

More human in the 4IR

I was amazed by the keynote speech by the two professors both from Thailand and Malaysia. It was during the international conference held by the Association of Master Degree Students (HIMAPAS) STIE Perbanas Surabaya on August 24, 2019. It was exactly at Novotel Hotel, Surabaya. The two topics made me interested to write today in this article. First, it was by Prof. Dr. Chonlatis Darawong, Sripatum University Chonburi, Thailand. He presented on his PowerPoint, talking about the innovation. According to him, innovation can be directed towards ecosystem. If we try to get the gist from the whole speech, It is more directed toward innovation that is more human. The technology and

information development should be cultivated for human welfare. It should not merely directed towards the technology itself. We don’t have to ignore the impacts. Very specifically we don’t have to ignore the negative impacts. Yet, we can try to utilize the technology development for our ecosystem. For example, we can use the technology development for improving our agricultural products. The products of our crops or farmlands can be innovated in such a way that they can benefit from them. We can make innovation for the crop products. It is an innovation from the very natural products becoming the most innovated products. By doing so, the price can be more expensive. More importantly, the artificial intelligence (AI)

should not make us scary. But, we have to use that technology products for making our environment more natural. We can use all the machines or atomization for making our environment more enjoyable. For example, why don’t we use the technology products for making any plantation greener? We can also make the machines to extend any plantation age. They can grow longer than their usual age. The second keynote was by Prof. Dr. Reevany Bustami, from Universiti Sain Malaysia (USM). If we try to get the gist of the whole of his keynote, we can take the essence. We can get the essence of ethical business. It is very specifically for providing CSR leadership. CSR stands for Corporate Social responsibility.

Dr. Djuwari

The most fascinating form his statement during the presentation was the Islamic values. In terms of ethical business based on the Islamic values, we can be more successful. The values related to ethical business in this discussion are also present in other religions. For that reason, implementing the ethical business he proposed during the presentation will be very beneficial for the business practitioners. Ethical leadership is also the most important topic. We can turn problems of See HUMAN, page 11

Unruffled

Before the next teardrop falls WITH ‘little trouble’ expected to come by, Malacanang has ordered the military to end now -- and not tomorrow -- the decades-long communist insurgency problem of the country. The Duterte administration has slammed anew the Communist Party of the Philippines - New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) for allegedly taking advantage of the ‘kid-glove treatment’ of the government through the years. President Duterte has again lashed out at the communist rebels (now tagged by the government as terrorists), saying the countryside is now infested with communist ‘parasites’. Duterte had sought to end the country’s insurgency problem shortly after he assumed office in 2016, but government talks with communist rebels have failed to reach any conclusion. In 2017, Duterte signed

Proclamation No. 60 which formally terminated negotiations with communist rebels. A month later, he signed Executive Order No. 70 ordering the creation of a task force to end local communist armed conflict. That said, the government has no choice but to crush the Joma Sison-led communist-cum- terrorist organization as soon as possible before the next massive teardrops will fall in the countryside. It has been said before – and until now—that the demands of the communists-turned-terrorists are impossible and absurd to the hilt. Its self-styled leader, Joma Sison have been living in Utrecht in opulent lifestyle while his comrades on the ground suffer fighting for a lunatic cause -- that of toppling the so-called ‘imperialism, feudalism and

bureaucratic capitalism’ of this country. To advance their foothold, Sison and his clique has been on recruitment binge, targeting among others the so-called ‘the harassed and the oppressed’ particularly members of indigenous tribes in general and students in particular. Lately, NPA recruitment has again penetrated in schools and universities which alarmed authorities amid the reported spread of student ‘activism’ now happening in the academic community. The recruitment process starts with selecting prospective student-leaders who are smart, idealistic and passionate about a cause. NPA cadres would then teach student-recruits about communism and further indoctrinate them about activism. An invitation to join rallies would come next,

Ruffy Magbanua

and later a baptism of fire would follow by joining the mainstream armed group in hit-and-run firefights with government troops. With over 50 years of fighting the government, the insurgency problem has become a cancer – an incurable social problem only high heavens would tell when it will vanish from the ends of the Earth. Meantime, the Duterte order to crush once and for all these insurgents-turned terrorists depends on how the military would be able to totally extinguish them head-on soonest possible time. Again, to put an end to See TEARDROP, page 11

penalty of fine must be sustained, for no crime should go unpunished, imposing a penalty of imprisonment will work more to discourage members of the media to perform their duties with zeal and vigilance. “Instead of looking deeply into issues that have a potential of affecting public interest and general welfare, the penalty of imprisonment has paved the way for members of media to approach their mandates with doubts and hesitation” Rodriguez said. “We cannot have that in a country where democracy is primarily infringed on the freedom of speech and expression, and where media is considered the Fourth Estate,” said Rodriguez, Chairman of the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments. The proposed amendment to Article 355 of the Revised Penal Code provides for the imposition of a fine of P10,000 to P30,000, in addition to the civil action which may be brought by the offended party, on any person who commits libel by means of writing or similar means. It further states that “the provisions of Article 90 and 91 to the contrary notwithstanding, the crime of libel and the corresponding said penalty imposed shall be prescribed in six months counted from the date of the first publication, airing or exhibition of the libelous material”. Article 357 of the same law is amended to read as follows: “The penalty of a fine ranging from P5,000 to P15,000 shall be imposed upon any person who threatens another to publish a libel concerning him or the parents, spouse, child, or other members of the family of the latter, or upon anyone who shall offer to prevent the publication of such libel for a compensation or money consideration.” Meanwhile, the proposed amendment to Article 357 of the Revised Penal Code states that “the penalty of a fine from P10,000 to P30,000 shall be imposed upon any reporter, editor, or manager of a newspaper, daily or magazine, who shall publish facts connected with the private life of another and offensive to the honor, virtue, and reputation of said person, even though said publication be made in said connection with or under the pretext that it is necessary in the narration of any judicial or administrative proceedings wherein such facts have been mentioned.” Article 360 of the said law is likewise proposed amended to make the author of the printed article or any person who shall cause the exhibition of the theatrical or cinematographic exhibit containing defamatory words liable for the same. The amendment also declares that the author or the editor of a book or pamphlet, or the editor or business manager of a daily newspaper, magazine or serial publication shall be responsible for the defamation contained therein to the same extent as if he were the author thereof, provided said defamatory article passed through said publisher, editor or business manager for editing and required the latter’s approval for publication. /Ma.

and put aside individual differences “in order to realize the vision of a safe and progressive province”. Palafox is replacing Brigadier General Ezra James Enriquez who assumed as the brigade’s commander in February this year. Enriquez, a member of PMA Class 1988, was promoted to a brigadier general in March, a month after his assumption as commander to the 2Mech. After his service in the 2Mech, Enriquez will be assigned at the Committee on Procurement of Modern Equipment of the Philippine Army. In his message after signing the relinquishment order, Enriquez

said the Marawi siege was one of his memorable moments during his stay in Lanao areas. He was the deputy commander of now retired Major General Felicisimo Budiongan of the Task Group Bakal, a group that provides armor support to the Philippine Army units fighting the Dawlah Islamiya. During his almost six-month leadership, the brigade has able to collect 71 surrendered firearms through the implementation of the “Oplan Kasabutan (Agreement)” In the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration (ECLIP), the unit have gathered 70 firearms from the rebel returnees and another 71 assorted firearms recovered during the joint law enforcement security operations. “In the period of six months, we have able to apprehend 11 (rebel) personalities and another 32 who surrendered,” Enriquez said. As he left Lanao areas, Enriquez said he cannot also forget how the partnership of the 2Mech and the different stakeholders was strengthened to be able to deliver basic services and social development packages in conflict-affected areas and vulnerable communities. “They shared our common aspirations to have a progressive and peaceful Lanao del Norte and Iligan City,” he said. Enriquez said he cannot forget their participation to secure the community when the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) through a plebiscite in February. He was also proud that during his stint in Lanao del Norte that military was being friend with the troop’s former adversary, former commander of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (MILF BIAF), now a member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, Abdullah Macapaar, formerly known as Commander Bravo. “He became our partner in peace initiatives. It is a different feeling that Macapaar visited inside the brigade, not as enemy but as a partner in peace process and equally memorable when we celebrated the Eid-al Adha in the MILF community in Tamparan, Munai (Lanao del Norte),” Enriquez said.

part of their performance evaluation. It is this context, continued Martinez, that forces teachers and students alike to render overtime school work. “So hear us when we say that we are not issuing homework to burden our students. It is demanded of us by the K12 program, so much that our performance evaluation system ensures its implementation. It is therefore unfair for DepEd to claim that they are ‘discouraging homework’ through several policies, because the agency’s main curriculum is the culprit behind this added work,” declared Martinez. The group further denounced the proposed bill which included a penalty of Php50,000 and/or 1 to 2-year jail sentence to teachers who will require homework from students, saying that it passes on the blame to teachers who are ‘as much a victim to the faults of K12 as students.’ “The K to 12 curriculum is impractically-paced and does not serve the needs and aspirations of not only our students but of the nation. This is at the heart of the problem when we talk about quality education,” hit Martinez. ACT urged Congress that more than the homework issue, it should do a comprehensive assessment and review of the K12 program, including its curriculum to see its many flaws, which are seen to cause further decline in the quality of education.

PH speeds up infra dev’t; BSP statement on KAPA H2 GDP seen rising to 6.4% THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) advises the public that it has not released any statement or any issuance concerning the Kapa-Community Ministry International, Inc. (KAPA) or any of its affiliates. KAPA is not a BSPsupervised entity. This clarification is being issued in view of reports, particularly, on social media, falsely claiming that the BSP has issued a statement purportedly approving KAPA’s investment

MANILA -- The government is fast-tracking the implementation of priority infrastructure projects, as it redoubles efforts in public spending to boost the economy in the second semester and the next few years. During an economic forum Tuesday hosted by the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP), Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said 46 out of the total 75 infrastructure flagship projects costing PHP2.18 trillion are under implementation. “Many of these projects have been completed or near completion. These include the Bohol-Panglao International Airport, the Harbor Link project which connects the Port area to the NLEX (North Luzon Expressway). Then the

Skyway Stage 3 connecting NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) with SLEX (South Luzon Expressway) which should be completed by the end of this year or early next year, according to the DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways), besides a number of

other projects under the department in Northern Luzon and a few Mindanao road projects,” he said. Other projects are under development, and for government approval and reevaluation by the Investment Coordination Committee. Pernia, also the Director-

General of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), said they target to complete 22 projects by the end of the Duterte administration in 2022. He also noted the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) must grow by 6.4 percent to hit the low-end of the 6 to 7-percent growth target for the year. “I’m optimistic that we will reach at least 6-percent growth rate for the whole of 2019,” he told reporters. Citing the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections, Pernia said the Philippines will remain one of the fastest major growing economies in Asia after India, Vietnam and China. The economy expanded at a slower pace of 5.5 percent in April to June, bringing the average growth in the first semester of the year to 5.5 percent. The slower growth in the second quarter was attributed to the continued effect of the delay in the passage of the national budget, and the election ban on spending government projects. Pernia said economic managers expect growth to recover in the mediumterm, with the GDP targeted to accelerate to 6.5 to 7.5 percent by 2020, and 7 to 8 percent by 2021-2022. “This will require redoubling our efforts in public spending, in pushing infrastructure projects on 24/7 work mode,” the NEDA chief said. “The problem of course in the second semester is, it tends to be more wet than the first semester which was a time when there was not much construction activity due to the suspension of construction projects by Comelec (Commission on Elections) as well as the See INFRA, page 10

SEC has already issued a cease and desist order against KAPA in February 2019 and an order of revocation of its certification of incorporation in April 2019 after KAPA was found to have been soliciting investments from the public without the necessary license, and that its investment scheme qualifies as a fraud and a Ponzi scheme.

Malasakit Center to rise in South Cotabato By ROEL OSANO

KORONADAL CIT Y-Health services in South Cotabato province is expected to get a boost with the expansion this year of the national government’s Malasakit Center program. South Cotabato Gov. Reynaldo Tamayo Jr. said Tuesday the Office of the President has asked the provincial government to provide an office space where they can put up the center. Tamayo said he is planning to put up the Malasakit Center at the South Cotabato Provincial Hospital here. A Malasakit Center is a one-stop-shop manned by personnel from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Health (DOH), Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) and Philippine Amusement and Gaming (Pagcor). Patients or their watchers needing medical assistance need not go to the offices of the said agencies because they are available at the Malasakit Center. As in the other established facilities, Tamayo said the national government will allocate an initial P5 million for its operation and grants for the hospital expenses and other needs of poor patients in the prov-

ince. The governor said he has already requested authority from the Provincial Board to sign a memorandum of agreement with the Office of the President, which funds the program. “The Malasakit Center is a big help to the people of South Cotabato and I hope that this will be approved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan as soon as possible,” an optimistic Tamayo said. He said the center will mainly cater to patients of the provincial hospital who come from parts of the province and neighboring areas, including Maguindanao. “Patients of private hospitals accredited by Philhealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corp.) may also seek assistance from the Malasakit Center,” Tamayo said. The Malasakit Center program was the brainchild of former Special Assistant to President Rodrigo R. Duterte and now Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go to hasten the delivery of medical services to indigent patients. In Region 12 (Soccsksargen), the program has existing facilities at the Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital in Isulan town and the Dr. Jorge P. Royeca Hospital in General Santos City. (PNA)

DTI remains steadfast in extending “Malasakit” to Marawi IDPs

THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) together with other members of the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) Subcommittee on Business and Livelihood continue to foster livelihood growth for internally displaced persons (IDPs) affected by the Marawi siege through the Kawiyagan program.

As of August 23, 2019, 17,680 beneficiaries or 36% of the target 49,000 IDPs by the end of 2019, have already received starter kits from the DTI-TFBM livelihood interventions.

Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) public relations head Adrian Tamayo said on Tuesday that the secretary would also ask for a special price for the shipment of fruits to help growers in Mindanao to find new markets amid the excess in supply that brought prices down. “This will come as the support of the airlines to See MEET, page 10

IN response to the criticisms against Malasakit Centers made by Albay 1st District Representative Edcel Lagman, Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go said in his privilege speech at the Senate on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, that it is Lagman, and not the Malasakit Centers, who is using medical assistance for political purposes. “Uulitin ko para sa ating mga kababayang nakikinig--pera po ninyo ito. Hindi ito pera ng sinumang opisyales. Pera ito ng gobyerno na dapat lang ibalik sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng maayos na serbisyong medikal,” he said stressing that the Malasakit Center’s goal is to simply provide convenient access to quality healthcare

for every Filipino. The Senator claimed that Lagman, along with other politicians, require endorsement from barangay officials before assisting patients. “May iba ding mga politiko diyan, tulad niya, na nagbibigay ng endorsement o humihingi ng endorsement galing sa barangay leaders bago tumulong,” Go said in the first privilege speech he delivered. “Balita ko pinapupunta mo pa sa bahay mo ang mga tao para mag-avail ng benefits o assistance,” Go said while presenting a copy of an endorsement letter that Lagman’s office purportedly gives to patients to be shown to hospitals. “Now, that is partisan politics,” he added. He also said that he has never required such processes and he does not choose the people whom he helps. “Never ako nag-require ng ganyan. Never ko pinagpilian ang taong tutulungan ko.” See DELIVERS, page 10

DAVAO City--The Aboitiz Group reinforced its longstanding support for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the country as it launched the ‘Kabataan Inyovator: An Aboitiz Robotics Competition’ -- an initiative that aims to support the country’s young scientists, starting with the Davao leg. Kabataan Inyovator (a play on the words ‘inyo’ which means ‘yours’ and ‘innovator’) aims to introduce innovation in solving community problems through robotics. Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. and Davao Light and Power Company led the competition launch last August 12 in Davao City, capping a two-day training session (Aug. 8 to 9 for elementary students, Aug. 10 to 11 for high school students). It was developed by robotics group Pinoy Robot Games covering robot programming, robot games and dynamic response, and project ideation and evaluation for 20 Davao City public elementary and high school teams. The competing teams, endorsed by the Department of Education-Region 11, will receive further online training and mentoring from September to November, and compete at the Mindanao-wide Kabataan Inyovator competition in December (under the robot “sumo wrestling,” “line tracing,” and innovation fair

categories). “Education has long been a priority advocacy of the Aboitiz Group. We fully support our young scientists in their exciting pursuit of new innovations that will eventually help build the nation and in turn support our thrust of co-creating communities that are safe, empowered, and sustainable,” said Maribeth L. Marasigan, Aboitiz Foundation First Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In line with the 1987 Constitution’s recognition of science and technology as “essential for nationalism, development, invention, innovation and their utilization,” Kabataan Inyovator represents the Aboitiz Group’s next level of support following its earlier SSES initiatives Kabataan Inyovator traces its roots back to AboitizPower geothermal unit AP Renewables, Inc.’s Youth Leaders Summit themed “Powering Kabataan Inyovators” in 2018. AboitizPower introduced this brand name which aims to encourage innovation and gives ownership to the summit participants, a.k.a. “Inyovators”, who will develop innovative solutions and process improvements. Aside from promoting the Aboitiz core values of innovation and teamwork, Kabataan Inyovator aims to provide supplemental support to the beneficiaries of See ROBOTICS, page 11

Values integration in all subjects By LORNA N. SALDON Teacher III Bansarvil National High School Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

VALUES integration is a channel of values development through the teachinglearning activites in the different learning areas or subjects. The starting point of values integration is the nature of the learning areas and their unique contribution as bodies of knowledge. Teachers first identify the concepts to be developed in the lesson then develops the values inherent in the subject. The core values are health and harmony with nature (physical), truth and tolerance (intellectual), love and goodness (moral), global spirituality (spiritual), peace and justice (social), sustainable human development (economic) and; nationalism and glo-

balism (political) while the basic human values are truth, love, peace, right conduct and non-violence. They can all be integrated in mathematics, science, English, social studies, TLE and PE. Inherent values which can be learned in English are respect for truth, confidence, persistence through sustained work and awareness of the use of mathematical skills in the world beyond the classroom. Inherent values which can be learned in science are concern for explicit and implicit values and influence on one’s beliefs and values and behavior. Inherent values which can be learned from social studies include respect for logic, seeking the truth, consideration of premises and consideration of consequences.

In the same forum, ING Bank senior economist Nicholas Mapa said he is hopeful economic growth would pick up about 6.4 percent in the second half of the year on the back of robust economic activities and picking up of government spending. “In the last two years, second-half public spending or public construction growth has been doubledigit. Double-digit in 2017, double-digit in 2018 so it’s possible to see very strong, robust quickly rolled out infrastructure spending or construction even in the second half of the year,” he said. (PNA)

The Kabataan Inyovator champion team will receive an upgraded robotics kit, witness its winning prototype deployed in its host community and closely monitored to assess its efficiency and impact, and represent the Philippines in the World Robot Olympiad in Quebec, Canada. The Aboitiz Group has been a long-time supporter of SSES development. Part of the Aboitiz Foundation’s P135 million education budget in 2018 was allocated for the development of two SSES and the construction of four SSES classrooms. Twelve SSES teachers were trained while 175 SSES equipment sets were donated.

from page 4 industry into a strategic ethical purpose. We should enhance the trust. The trust should be in the kind of shared values. For example, when the products are in good quality, they must not only be good for the producers. They must also be good for both producers and the users. In general, they must be good for all the stakeholders. That is the example of ethical business. When we combine the two rationales of the two professors above, we believe the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) will not be so scary. It needs the national leaders of each country’s integrity. We can see whether they can lead the nations balanced with the technological revolution. They should manage the 4IR into more human and close to the ecosystem. They should also make all industries with their businesses more ethical. The two rationales above can be the key success to enhancing the 4IR to make our environment more enjoyable. This must be the duty of every national leader in every country. The more greedy the leaders are the more disruptive but deconstructive and event destructive is. Finally, the 4Ir will make us scary. Yet, this depends of our high ethical business. It should be our opportunity to innovate any kind of products or business for our better environment. It should be more human and ethical.

He eventually quit the movement after his leaders ‘disappear’ one after the other).

Fire...

from page 1 PCG personnel. Of the 162 people rescued, 137 were passengers. During the rescue, two passengers were found unconscious and were immediately brought to a hospital. Initial reports indicated the fire started at the ship’s engine which is yet to be verified through an investigation following conclusion of rescue operations. The RoRo ship caught fire before arriving at Pulauan Port here from Samboan in Cebu Wednesday. “As of 8 a.m., we already have 102 rescued passengers, our rescue teams and those from other shipping companies are still at the location of M/V Lite Ferry 16,” said Nelson Quimiguing, City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office chief. Quimiguing said some of the passengers were brought to hospitals here and in nearby Dipolog City. Lt. Junior Grade Cherry Rose Manaay, Zamboanga del Norte Coast Guard Station commander, said they earlier received a distress call from a skipper of M/V Lite Ferry 16 asking for help as his ship caught fire off Tag-ulo Point. Manaay said she called M/V Fast Cat, which had just left the port to rescue M/V Lite Ferry 16. M/V Danica Joy was also sent to help in the rescue. Fishermen from Barangay Tag-ulo tried to join the rescue but were driven back by big waves. As it took almost an hour for rescuers to reach the RoRo vessel, passengers and crew were quoted by Quimiguing as saying that the captain had ordered to “abandon ship” as they waited for rescuers to arrive. The cause of the fire was not immediately known. (PNA)

opening day of the festival. He added they hope all fruit growers, through their leaders, will be represented during the meeting. On his Facebook post, Piñol said they plan to replicate similar activity

in Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Bicol and Cagayan Valley. Among the fruits that will be sold there include durian, mangosteen, rambutan, pineapple, lacatan banana, passion fruit, sweet water or aromatic coconut, pomelo and guyabano. “To undertake these ac-

tivities, MinDA wishes to have an accurate assessment of the fruit production of Mindanao.. MinDA also intends to assess the financing, logistical and infrastructure requirements of Mindanao fruit growers to develop the industry further,” the secretary added. Last August 23, the C-130

and C-295 aircrafts of the Philippine Air Force transported 22 tons of fruits from Davao to Clark. The fruits were then loaded on two refrigerated vans en route to Baguio for the fruit festival, a joint project of MinDA and the City Government of Baguio. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)
