rovincial Governor Yevgeny “Bambi” Vincente Emano of Misamis Oriental, said that a probe of the financial management of the Misamis Oriental Integrated Sports Complex (MOISC) would certainly send his predecessor to jail.
Emano did not mention his predecessor. However, it was obvious that he was referring to City Mayor Oscar Moreno, who was the provincial governor of Misamis Oriental, before jumping to Cagayan De Oro City where he was elected
City Mayor in 2013. He said that it was Moreno, who created the MOISC. “If Moreno and his allies would send me to jail, we EMANO would make it sure that Moreno would be jailed governor said. first because he created the Emano recalled that See CRITICS, page 15 MOISC,” an irate provincial

Missing kids could be among Maute hostages By Carolyn O. Arguillas MindaNews
A Facebook post from ARMM Vice Governor Al Haroun Raschid Lucman Jr. late Friday night has given focus to yet another dimension in the now 96day war in Marawi City: young boys alleged to have been recruited by the Maute Group and photographed brandishing firearms could be children kidnapped years ago or reported missing since the firefight between government forces and the IS-inspired terror group began on May 23. Lucman’s post showed two photographs — a toddler wearing a white sando and a young boy in black, carrying a long firearm. “A mother posted this in
the FB saying the toddler on the left side was her son who went missing several years ago. She felt the child combatant on the right side is strikingly similar to (her) missing son… IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO CAN HELP, IF EVER HE IS STILL ALIVE, PLEASE DO.. Please share so that it will hopefully reach those who can help..,” Lucman said. A post from the Facebook page “This Kid is Missing” set up by Rohanisa Abdul Jabbar, sought help after seeing a photograph of three boys brandishing long firearms, smiling and posing for the cameras, allegedly in Marawi City, one of whom had facial features similar to her son who was kidnapped on July 4, 2010, See MISSING, page 15

PDP-Laban’s membership expansion: quality or quantity? By Carolyn O. Arguillas MindaNews
RECENT developments in the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino – Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) in Mindanao in the past few days have prompted Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, the party President, to issue a statement that party members “can only achieve our goals if we present a united front to the world” and warned expulsion of members “providing ammunition to those who seek to sow divisions within the party.” A major problem hounding the party is the acceptance of new members into PDP-Laban in preparation for the 2019 elections, allegedly even without attending the party’s mandatory Basic Membership Seminar, or in exchange for money. Last month, former Senate President Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel, Jr., who founded the PDPLaban in 1982, appealed to the party leadership to scrutinize the motives of politicians joining them to ensure they adhere to See membership, page 3

Maute patriarch dies in Taguig hospital Chicken from Central Luzon for Marawi THE Maute patriarch is General Eduardo Año, Armed maalala (This year, I can bakwits: affront to Maranaos’ maratabat dead. Forces Chief of Staff said they no longer remember),” The 67-year old Cayamora Maute, detained at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City since June 8, was rushed to Taguig Pateros Hospital as an emergency case at around 3:07 p.m. Sunday but “was declared dead on arrival by the attending physician,” a statement from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) said. The BJMP said Maute was “experiencing difficulty in breathing and body weakness” at around 4:30 a.m. at his detention area in Camp Bagong Diwa and his health condition monitored, his medications administered to him. The patriarch was arrested in a checkpoint in Davao City on June 6. He arrived in Taguig on June 8. In a statement Sunday,

The patriarch of the Maute clan and alleged top leader of the Maute Group had, upon his arrest in Davao City, denied involvement in terrorism or with the group founded by his sons Omar and Abdullah. In an interview with reporters at the Davao City Police Office on June 6, the Maute patriarch claimed he had not seen his sons for some time now. “Ngayon taon hindi ko

he said. “Hindi ako kasama sa grupo nila. Kapangalan lang (I’m not part of the group. We only have the same surname),” Maute explained. The patriarch at that time was suffering from diabetes and had a coughing fit. When he was caught at the checkpoint, he was allegedly on his way to Davao City for a medical check-up. He said he left Marawi on Sunday, June 3, Day 13 of the clashes between government forces and the Maute Group. Maute told reporters he wanted a “longer” ceasefire between government and the Maute Group. An emissary of the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s “Peace Corridor” on June 3 managed to get the Maute Group to agree to a fourhour ceasefire to allow safe passage for trapped civilians. At least 134 civilians were rescued then.

IT is not pork, so it is not being insensitive to Muslims but chicken from bird flu-affected Luzon that Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Pinol wants the social welfare department to buy for distribution to Marawi evacuees has been criticized as an affront to the Maranaos’ maratabat. “I a s ke d Pre s i d e nt Duterte if the Department of Social Welfare and Development can buy some of the chicken… baka puwedeng ipamigay sa evacuees sa Marawi para mapakinabangan,” Piñol said in a press conference last week in the national capital. Pinol’s proposal came amid confirmation that the bird flu strain found in Pampanga tested positive for H5N6, a virus that can be transmitted to humans although the “rate of mortality and transmission is very, very low,” ABS-CBN News quoted Dr. Arlene Vytiaco, Bureau of Animal Industry veterinarian, as saying. The same report quoted Pinol as saying the bird flu issue triggered a drop in the prices of chicken from P80 to P10 per head and that 80 million kilograms of chicken are available in cold storage, that it is safe for consumption and
The Department of Agriculture has proposed to President Rodrigo Duterte to have the social welfare department buy chicken in Central Luzon, where bird flu was monitored, for distribution to Marawi evacuees. The chicken is safe for consumption, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Pinol assured. mindanews file photo
that he would schedule a “boodlefight” where the President will eat chicken dishes to prove the point. Assemblyman Zia Alonto Adiong, spokesperson of the Provincial Crisis Management Committee told MindaNews on Sunday that the proposal to give chicken from Central Luzon may be well-intentioned but “masyadong insulting” (it is so insulting). “Kung concerned sila sa pagkain namin, dapat matagal na nilang ginawa yun, hindi kung kailan nagkaissue ng bird flu at wala nang bumibili sa stocks nila. Hindi nila alam ang maratabat ng Meranaw” (If they were concerned with our food, they should have done that a long time ago, not just because of bird flu
and no one is buying their stocks,” Adiong said. There is no direct translation of maratabat although many refer to it as “pride and honor.” Dr. Nainobai Disomangcop, a retired professor at the Mindanao State University, had earlier written that maratabat is associated with shame, honor and dignity, rank, self-esteem or ‘amor propio,” reputation and ‘face.’ “But maratabatat is more than any of these,” she said. Disomangcop noted there is no single word or phrase that can clearly define maratabat “for the Maranaos have surrounded it with many socio-psychological concepts of their own.” On social media, See chicken, page 3

the party’s ideals and are not merely joining for convenience. “And only if the party is satisfied that they are really sincere, eager to learn about party platforms, direction that they should be accepted as members. Otherwise, they should be accepted as allies but not necessarily members,” he told Rappler Talk. On Sunday, the elder Pimentel told MindaNews that “all kinds of political ‘experts’ are climbing into the political ring in support of the PDP Laban champion and in the process they crowd out any other political party contender into oblivion.” “This is not the best scenario but that’s how it is turning out in our country,” he said, adding, “What is most important is for the people to speak out their minds openly for or against events happening in the country.” The party’s national chair is President Rodrigo Duterte, its standard-bearer in the 2016 elections. Duterte has repeatedly referred to the PDP-Laban as a “moribund” political party until he accepted its offer to run for President in November 2015. In Philippine history, this is the first time that the President, Senate President and House Speaker are all from Mindanao. Duterte is the 16th President of the Philippines and the first Mindanawon to lead the nation. ‘Persona non grata” A group claiming to represent “original PDP-Laban stalwarts” from various regions in Mindanao said they declared as “persona non grata” House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, Jr., the party’s secretary general, in a resolution passed Thursday. But PDP-Laban President Pimentel told MindaNews on Friday that the move is “clearly a demolition job against Speaker Alvarez, our legitimate party secretary-general.” MindaNews sought Alvarez for comment but he sent no reply. In Koronadal on Friday, he warned of rampant illegal recruitment activities for membership into PDP-Laban in exchange for money. Among the “illegal recruiters,” he said, are legitimate party members. Also on Friday, party president Pimentel in a press statement said the ruling party has not declared Alvarez as ‘persona non grata” and that the group of Rogelio Garcia, a former Labor Undersecretary, and Cesar Cuntapay, regional party president of Southern Mindanao (Region XI) and Mindanao Area Council chair “does not represent the Party.” Cuntapay said they did not claim to represent the entire party. “Whatever their complaints,” the younger Pimen-
tel said of Cuntapay’s group, “someone (referring to Alvarez) who has expanded the base of PDP Laban in the House of Representatives from three to 123 members cannot be said to have done or be doing acts inimical to the Party.” Alvarez, he claimed, “in fact strengthened the Party with quality members and was crucial in the passage of laws that forward the Change we in the Party advocate.” The party president said he asked Cuntapay to “respect the Party’s processes” and submit his complaint to PDP Laban’s arbitration procedure. “I will not allow the Party my father built to be dragged through the mud because of personal differences between Party members,” he said, adding the party is “working to build a better society and a Federal Philippines” and anyone who describes himself as a loyal party member “must respect and obey the party’s by-laws,” he said. He ordered Cuntapay to “immediately cease from these actions inimical to the Party’s image and morale, or be subject to Party discipline.” Taking sides Cuntapay told MindaNews on Sunday that he had expected Pimentel would not take sides but find out first what the issues are so these can be resolved. The party, he said, is “politically too compromised.” Cuntapay claimed in a press release Thursday that some 200 “original PDP-Laban stalwarts from various regions of Mindanao” issued the resolution declaring Alvarez “persona non grata,” claiming Alvarez is “a guy with no moral ascendancy,” an “unscrupulous politico,” an “immoral legislator” and a “fake secretary-general.” He said four resolutions were passed, including the “unification and strengthening of the Mindanao sector of the party.” Cuntapay’s group called on Alvarez to stop mass oath-taking rites “without the applicants undergoing the Basic Membership Seminar,” a requirement under the party’s by-laws. He urged Pimentel to convene the party for a Mindanao Summit on November 30. Cuntapay claimed he was replaced by Alvarez “on impulse,” that Alvarez was “fortifying his hold in the region at the expense of the party’s principles” and should be ousted. “I am not backing out from this fight and I still do function as a regional president of Region XI because Alvarez unilaterally has no authority to remove council officers (of ) good standing,” the press release quoted Cuntapay as saying. Mend fences Pimentel said he hopes Alvarez and Cuntapay can mend fences for the good of the party but added it is “also clear” that he will “not
Wednesday, August 30, 2017 hesitate to expel Cuntapay for using the Party’s name for personal reasons.” “We can only achieve our goals if we present a united front to the world. By providing ammunition to those who seek to sow divisions within the Party, Mr. Cuntapay is harming PDP Laban, and can be expelled should he so continue with these actions,” said Pimentel. In Koronadal, Alvarez on Friday warned of rampant illegal recruitment activities for membership into PDP-Laban in exchange for mone. Alvarez, who led a mass oath-taking there of around 3,000 new party members, said they received reports that some individuals claiming to be PDP-Laban recruiters have been visiting sitios and barangays to enlist new members. He said the “illegal recruiters,” among them leg it imate PDP-L ab an members, was reported to have been administering oaths and issuing supposed party identification cards for undisclosed fees, and was promised appointments as barangay officials. Alvarez said party membership nationwide is currently undergoing reorganization and that only he, Pimentel and PDP-Laban vice president, Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, are authorized to administer oaths. Party rules provide that city, provincial and regional councils can administer the oath after the prospective members complete a two-day Basic Membership Seminar. (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)
a black Toyota Grandia. Driver Salazar also denied links with the Maute Group. He said he picked up Benzarali and his partner, Norjannah, at Hotel Filipino in Cotabato. Bensarali, his college friend, then instructed him to go to Sultan Kudarat to pick up another passengers, who turned out to be the Maute patriarch and his second wife, Balawag. They were supposed to proceed to Tagum City. But upon reaching Sultan Kudarat, he said the instruction changed and they were to go to Davao City instead. Tagum City is 56 kilometers away from Davao City. Salazar claimed he did not have any idea about his passengers’ affiliations. “Had I known who they were, I would bring them to the police myself,” he said. (MindaNews)

the proposal was also received with disdain. “Has the world gone mad? Is this the best thing they can think of? Chicken from bird flu area to be given to Marawi evacuees?” a Moro government official asked. “Even if certified safe by the Department of Health, what do they think of us, third class citizens? They’ve always treated us like trash so they send their trash to us. Enough is enough,” a retired Moro government official said. “Great caution” The Marawi Crisis entered Day 97 on Sunday.

Group and its allies began on May 23. Most of the displaced Maranaws, however, are home-based, and maratabat is a major factor why they prefer to stay with relatives in neighboring towns and even as far away as Luzon, rather than in evacuation centers. This is also why humanitarian agencies and psychosocial service providers have been exerting efforts to ensure the delivery of relief goods and psycho-social assistance must consider not only the basic principles of Islam (the evacuees are mostly Muslims), but also the maratabat of the Maranaos. In a press statement, Adiong said that while they appreciate the gesture “as this signifies national concern over the welfare of our IDPs (internally displaced persons),” it is also on the same manner of concern that we take great caution to receive poultry products from areas suspected of having been affected with bird flu virus.” Adiong said the national alarm due to the bird flu “also seeped into the consciousness not only of consumers but evacuees staying temporarily at various evacuation sites.” “Sensitivities” He said the mass displacement caused by the still ongoing war “is replete with sensitivities that ought to be considered in extending humanitarian assistance.” Chicken would have been a welcome meal for displaced residents particularly because most of the relief items are canned goods and noodles. Bud Adiong said they are “partly apprehensive that such would be misinterpreted as belittling the health concern of our evacuees and might even
3
lead to further alienation.” Adiong called on concerned agencies that in their efforts to salvage the poultry industry in Luzon, “we must also put primacy to the health security of the affected civilians cramped in evacuation centers.” Samira Ali Gutoc of the Ranao Rescue Team told MindaNews “we assert IDP rights in combating disease and vulnerability to virus.” D r i e z a L i n i ngd i ng , Secretary-General of the Bangsamoro National Movement for Peace and Development and co-founder of the militant youth organization, Free The Bangsamoro Movement, said the sending of chicken to Meranaw IDPs is “ridiculous and extremely irresponsible and insensitive to begin with.” He said what angers him is the statement that the chicken will be distributed to Marawi evacuees or these will be rendered useless. He said officials are “not only adding insult to our miseries but rubbing salt to our injuries as if our lives and health do not matter. Our leaders and people should refuse this chicken. If they are really for the welfare of the IDPs they could instead give carabao meat to us or goat as we also celebrate ‘Eidul Adha,” the feast of the holy sacrifice on September 1. (Carolyn O.

The CYNOSURE
The Mysterious Unseen Hands A day after the commemoration of the Feast of St. Augustine in Cagayan De Oro City, the CYNOSURE wishes to congratulate the Cagayan De Oro City Police for a making the celebration a very peaceful one. Special mention also goes to Col Roylan M. Orquia, the army commander of the Oro Task Force, for making the city and its residents safe during the weeklong celebration. In spite of the inadequate logistical support, especially from the local government, the Oro Task Force, a joint task force of the military and the local police headed by Pol. Senior Supt. Robert Roy Bahian, was able to carry out a job well-done.

The CYNOSURE also joined the struggle of the local law enforcers in instituting preemptive measures against all forms of criminal elements. The preventive measure was necessary to preempt possible intrusion of criminal elements out to sow anarchy at the time when the Cagayanons are celebrating the annual Feast of St. Augustine. Of course, we could not also discount the intervention of St. Augustine, whose mysterious unseen Hands might have manifested by covering the people from any harm during the weeklong celebration. The local residents, although a bit apprehensive, has also shown awareness
of the city’s security that, without being told, have extended support by feeding important information to the local police. Indeed, the local residents have a critical role in keeping peace and order in the community. The law enforcers have admitted that “crime prevention is also the primary concern of the local community.” The harmonious relationship between the law enforcers and the local residents in keeping peace and preventing criminal elements from sowing terror during the fiesta celebration this year was valuable.

employees to also work within the bounds of law, rules and regulations. Remember the story of the starfish? Here: An old man, walking the beach at dawn, noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Catching up with the youth, he asked what he was doing. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun. “But the beach goes on for miles, and there are millions of starfish,” countered the old man. “How can your effort make any difference?” The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw
it to safety in the waves. “It makes a difference to this one,” he said.

WHILE expressing sympathy with the victims of summary killings, the Jesuit community pressed the need for community support and action to curtail the drug problem in the country. The Jesuits stressed that looking away will not solve the problem, but unity behind concerted efforts and action will reduce it. “Though we wish to be in solidarity with all victims of injustice, we must move beyond expressions of outrage to constructive action,” said Fr. Antonio Moreno, provincial superior of the Philippine Jesuit Province. He said these actions may include raising public awareness about the “evil” of illegal drugs and by engaging other people especially the youth to stay away from vices. The priest also rallied everyone to get involved, to work together with Church-based groups, the government and civil society organizations.

Tagle to a multi-sectoral dialogue to understand the drug problem “in depth”. Saying that the drug menace, is not just a political or criminal issue, they said that it is “evil that attacks our humanity”, even “turning policemen into murderers, and the poor into the victims of their own security forces”. “The heartless killing of Kian de los Santos proves this,” said Moreno, referring to the slain 17-year-old schoolboy who was shot dead after allegedly engaging cops in an anti-drug operation in Caloocan City
last week. “We need to understand why the soul of the war on drugs is a human soul, and why the enemy of this war is not human rights, but lack of commitment to human rights,” he added. “We cannot build the Philippine nation on the cadavers of the Filipino people.” Here’s the full statement of the Philippine Province Jesuits on fighting the evil of illegal drugs: Coming Together in the Power of the Spirit It is with deep concern for the welfare of our nation that the Philippine Province
of the Society of Jesus joins His Eminence Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle in appealing to the “consciences of those manufacturing and selling illegal drugs to stop this activity” and “to the consciences of those who kill even the helpless, especially those who cover their faces with bonnets, to stop wasting human lives.” We agree that the menace of illegal drugs is real and destructive. The imperative to defeat this evil does not belong to the President alone, the Philippine National Police, and the instrumentalities of human
government. It belongs to us all. The evil that attacks the human with the power of the demonic, should unite us, not divide us. Battling this enemy, we learn how ineffectual, how flawed, our weapons are. Instead of turning our weapons on one another, we must unite, coordinate, and allow good to ally with good; we must fight this enemy together. Truly, the menace of drugs is not just a political or criminal issue. It is evil that attacks our humanity, turns human beings into zombies, policemen into murderers, criminals into lords, and the poor into the victims of their own security forces. The heartless killing of Kian de los Santos proves this. We cannot fight evil with guns and bullets alone. This evil we must fight with insight, cooperation, cunning, the enlightened use of political and economic power, self-sacrifice, prayer and God’s grace. It is in this spirit that we welcome the call of Cardinal Tagle and the Archdiocese of Manila to a multi-sectoral dialogue. We need to come together to understand the situation in depth. We need to understand why the soul of the war on drugs is a human soul, and why the enemy of this war is not human rights, but lack of commitment to human rights. We
need to understand why we cannot fight for human beings by denying them their rights. In a society where the human has so lightly lost his soul to corruption, hedonism, and disrespect for the human person, we need to understand how the poor are illegal drugs’ worst victims, addicted, trafficked, then shot by the guns drug money buys. We need to understand how denying the international drug cartels their markets does not mean killing the poor who are their victims, but reforming the structure which keep the poor poor. We need to understand that building the drugfree, smart, socially-just religiously diverse society envisioned by the Duterte administration needs patient multi-sectoral collaboration of good people collaborating with good people. We cannot build the Philippine nation on the cadavers of the Filipino people. In this spirit of dialogue, where it is clear that the rule of law and the respect for human rights thwart evil, the recommendations of our Ateneo de Manila Human Rights Center pertinent to extrajudicial killings and Operation Tokhang Reloaded might be seriously considered. Truly, we must See DRUG, page 15

Positive Discipline: a way to the student’s heart By: Rodwena E. Loquero
Pursuant to DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012, re: DepEd Child Protection Policy, the school is mandated to implement the Positive and Non-Violent Discipline of Children. According to this order, positive and non-violent discipline is a way of thinking and a holistic, constructive and pro-active approach to teaching
that helps the children develop appropriate thinking and behavior in the short and long term which fosters self-discipline. On the other hand, the child psychology is telling us the this particular stage going to the adolescence stage is a crucial stage. The children need constant guidance coming from the parents
and since the school teachers are considered as the second parents, they must religiously contemplate to this order. This mandate reminds every teacher and school personnel that children are full human beings with basic rights. These rights must be afforded to them. And a teacher must play the role not as punish-
ing agent but rather a mentor to model and demonstrate proper behavior as in Good Manners and Right Conduct subject in the elementary for the students to emulate and follow. It is a challenge to every school teacher to use every situation a teaching opportunities to teach lifelong skills and values to the students.
The implementation of this crusade to integrate Positive Discipline to every school is a call to all teaching personnel, and needs a positive response from the teachers if we are to develop citizens who are morally straight and become potential conscientious leaders in the future.

Mini-antennas could power brain-computer interfaces By MARVIN SINAY TUSOY Secondary School Teacher 2 Ozamiz City National High School
AT last, engineers have figured out how to make ant e n n a s for w i re l e s s communication 100 times smaller than their current size, an advance that could lead to tiny brain implants, micro-medical devices or phones you can wear on your finger. The brain implants in particular are like science fiction. But that hasn’t stopped scientists from tr ying to make them a reality. The new mini-anten-
nas play off the difference between electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves and acoustic waves such as sound and inaudible vibrations. Electromagnetic waves are f luc tuat ions in an electromagnetic field and they travel at light speed – an astounding 300 million meters per second. Acoustic waves are the jiggling of matter and they travel at the much slower speed of sound – typically a few thousand
meters per second. S o at any given frequency, an FM wave has a much longer wavelength than an acoustic wave. Antennas receive infor mation by res onating with electromagnetic waves which they convert into electrical voltage. For such resonance to occur, a traditional antenna’s length must roughly match t he wavelengt h of the electromagnetic wave it receives, meaning that the antenna must be
relatively big. However, like a guitar string, an antenna can also resonate with acoustic waves. The new antennas take advantage of this fact. The y wi l l pick up t he electromagnetic waves of a given frequency if its size matches the wavelength of the much shorter acoustic waves of the same frequency. That means that for any given signal frequency, the antennas can be much smaller.
Palacapao Elementary School Launched Information Drive on Waste Management Donabel C. Fabre Teacher III Palacapao Elementary School District of Quezon II
In this day of age, climate change is moving in every country today. A visible representation is thousands of lives were lost regardless of age and race similarly, millions of properties were dam-
aged and gone with just a blink of an eye, In light of the that natural calamities occur every now and then. We cannot stop this phenomenon from mother nature but we can help to lessen the hazardous effect of climate change. Palacapao Elementary School teachers, PGO Officers together with the 326
pupils decided to make a difference in their own little way by encouraging and transforming every pupil to be an eco-friendly and environmentally aware pupils.The pupils were oriented and taught to segregate their wastes inside and outside the school campus.These pupils were being monitored
to throw their trash into its corresponding trash cans. These trash cans labeled as biodegradable for fruit peelings and dry leaves, non-biodegradable for candy wrappers, cellophane and plastic bottles, The plastic bottles and cans gathered will be sold to junk shops as an income generating project of the school. Indeed, Through this activity these children will realize the importance of segregating our waste well as knowing their crucial role in preser ving and protecting our mother earth.

Hope of the Future By: Rodwena E. Loquero
PASSION. GROW TH. SUCCESS. In life we stumble upon so many obstacles and for me those three words defines real leadership and I really admire a student leader in our school which happens to be my daughter. She is the newly elected Supreme Student Government President in one of the big school here in our city. As a teacher and as well as a mother I really appreciate student leaders like her. It’s really not easy to balance studies and responsibilities and what makes them more special and close to my heart because even they are pressured in their academics and task in school they can still smile and serve the school with passion and willingness. At their young age they can manage their time well, lead their fellow students and especially inspire a lot of people and I’m very proud to say that I’m one of the people inspired by many student
leaders and the best thing they’ve taught me is to be industrious and humble at all times. I’ve learned that we can be all achievers in our own little ways and with this little ways it can make us do great things which may result to huge success. If we will always commit ourselves to our work and responsibilities everything will follow promptly and with this kind of attitude we can really put our thoughts into dreams and turn them into reality. Sometimes, I come home very tired and stressed but when I see my daughter learning and striving to do her obligations as a student and as a President is very overwhelming because not only she is making us proud but also she is helping her community as well. At times that she is really exhausted she would come up in my room and share a lot of things, I even asked her “kaya
paman kaha nimo?” and then she replied “ I’ve attended many trainings me and yes me! Kayanon jud kay mao ni akong responsibility and I love it!”, and after that I hugged her so tight and comforted her. I felt so blessed to have a daughter who can be one of the hope of the future. I realized Student Leaders are only not ordinary leaders but at the same time they are our hope to have a more organize and progressive school and community. They play big roles in our society and all of them deserves to be loved and respected. To all of the student leaders out their do not give up on your dreams you may undergo a lot of struggles and hardships but always remember that WINNERS are not people who never fail. The real WINNERS are the people who never quit. So aim high and do all things by heart. My salute to you all!

School Leadership

By: Amor S. Lamorin - ESP-1
The domain of the school principalship has many dimensions. Navigating a school culture, enriching instruction, operations, resources, community contexts all while developing a shared vision and acting with integrity and influence are just some of the responsibilities of today’s school principal. The multifaceted nature of a career as a school principal is one of importance due to the fact that leadership is second only to classroom instruction among school-related factors that contribute to what
students learn at school. In addition, principals who focus significant energy to becoming instructional leaders in tangent with organizational management and developing relational aspects of their job creates a combination for success in school effectiveness. School principals are leaders. There are many questions surrounding leadership such as: Are people born leaders? Is leadership innate or a learned skill? What effect does leadership have? These are all found in research.
Leaders attract followers, they influence. They possess a vision and purpose and are able to get people to commit to that same vision. People expect a leader to be ethical and stand for something with conviction. Challenging opportunities for people to change and grow are sought by leaders. A leader’s actions may either alienate or commit others. An “essential ingredient to a Great Leader is boundless optimism about the potential of ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things in the world.

These values are: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. How wonderful if these values summed up as Scout Law will be inculcated in the young’s mind and become part of their system. By then, DepEd vision is easy to come by.

Vengeance is mine, I will repay T he G ospel of J e sus Christ (August30, 2017-Wednesday)John 13:21-33”When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.” The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. So Simon
Peter gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.” He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What
you do, do quickly.” Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor. Betrayal is an act of ungratefulness. There are many instances that we are betrayed by the people
around us although we are good to them. The most painful betrayal is done by our family members. Some husbands betrayed their wives. In reverse, some wives also betrayed their husbands. Children betrayed their parents and parents do it also the same towards their children. Betrayal is always happenings in friends. Are you betrayed already? In my experiences, I had many betrayals in my life
Biblical reflection from the ministry members, relatives and friends and co workers of God. But this is natural occurrence in our lives since Jesus was a victim of betrayal. The only thing we can do towards our traitors is to pray for their enlightenment and repentance. Let us kill them by our goodness and kindness. Romans 12:19-21”Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written,

Challenges of an Araling Panlipunan Teacher An article written by Josie A. Salalima
Every teacher has to deal with paper works, class activities, students performances, teaching innovations and many other things. Even from time management, searching for educational resources and enabling functional communication channels to parents. It always falls under teachers’ responsibility and have to be managed at once. These are some challenges I’ve met. Availability of Learning Resources: Being an Araling Panlipunan teacher, the availability of learning resources poses a great problem. These are teaching resources that
are important to the learning performances of every student that may include computers, LCD projectors and some library materials. Though we have learners’ materials, but we need to explore deeper on its context like watching documentary films which is technology integration. Search for more informative materials at DepEd LRMDS and a thorough preparation is needed. Need to Vary Instruction Araling Panlipunan teachers should not stick to one teaching methods, approaches or strategies.
These are important tools towards the development of the students especially in developing critical thinking skills. It should not be all lecture- discussion method but integrating buzz sessions, brainstorming, role playing, visualization, understanding and making reflection out of a given quotation, think pair share, collage making, case studies, interviews, song interpretation, news reporting and debate. The key is to balance the activities to cover the complexity of the lessons. But in deciding what appropriate approach or strategy to be used, the
particular learning objective is the first thing to be considered. Dealing with Controversial Topics In the course of a classroom debate, I always made sure to give first the house rules to maintain order in the activity. I did not allow my activity to be highly politized such that students may be naming names in dealing with sensitive and at times controversial issues. Topics like death penalty, Charter Change, tax reforms, SK election, impeachment issues, mis-use of funds or corruption can sometimes lead to
heated arguments. Cases like these, an AP teacher should always maintain control of the situation. Be updated: In all books, datas regarding rates of population, inflation, unemployment, wages, taxes, Forex, even poverty index, GNI, PCI, CPI are posted a year ago or even two to three years ago. That would mean that its outdated, so as an AP teacher, it is a great challenge to be updated. Search for it in internet websites like NSA, DOLE, NWPC, BSP, Annual World Factbook and any other reliable sources. Values oriented and Integrative lessons: There is always values integration in the lesson, that is developing the mamayang mapanagutan, makalikasan, makabansa at makatao. It is where students could connect the relevance of the lesson to their lives because it has real – world application. It is a big help if technology will be integrated in any activity. It has also many interrelated disciplines that will provide opportunities for students to conduct inquiry, gather datas or make interviews which develop critical think-
ing skills. The teaching of Araling Panlipunan subject is expected to contribute to the development of a holistic citizen who is fully aware on the current social issues and concerns in the local and global level. Domains of learning In teaching Araling Panlipunan always revolves around names, places, events and dates. This is recall or remembering which falls under the lower level in the Blooms Taxonomy. The construction of the lessons should contain the three main domains of learning which are cognitive (thinking), affective (emotion/feeling), and psychomotor (physical/ kinesthetic). I believe teachers should do more holistic lessons by using all domains in constructing learning tasks. This diversity helps to develop intellectual skills, higher reasoning abilities and critical thinking skills.

Moreno spent Php 23 million in the installation of the “rubberized track oval” at the MOISC track and field sometime in 2009, which started to deteriorate three years later. “Until now, the rubberized track oval installed in Tubod, Lanao Del Norte, some 20 years ago, remains in good shape while the deteriorated rubberized track oval in MOISC is no longer repairable,” Emano said. He said that he would gladly welcome a probe into the operation, particularly financial, of the MOISC after an incumbent City Councilor alleged that the revenue of the sports center is spent for political purposes. Emano did not mention the name of the City Councilor. However, City Councilor Ian Nacaya, a former political ally who unofficially joined Moreno’s Liberal Party after winning the city council in 2016, was the city official who criticized the provincial government’s financial management of MOISC. In an interview with Magnum radio last week, Nacaya wants the financial management of MOISC after insinuating that the city government should be given a fair share of its revenue. The city government and the Department of Education owned a portion of the more than two-hectare MOISC also known formerly as the Pelaez Sports Center along Velez St. in Cagayan De Oro City, which is largely owned by the provincial government. “The city government as well as the DepEd has a representative on the MOISC board that runs and manages the affairs of the sports center,” Emano said. He said that he is wondering why the city government rants only now when the MOISC is already earning and that an urban village that is part of the city government is getting the “fair share.” Emano said that he has no intention of buying the critics who simply want political mileage through mudslinging. “All I can assure the people of Misamis Oriental is that the provincial government is doing good after overcoming and settling the Php 1.2 billion burden of indebtedness that the previous administration has placed, like a yoke on the people’s neck,” Emano said.

when he was three years old. “Pa help naman,” (please help), Rohanisa wrote. “Kamukha ba sya ni Ramram … nahirapan ako kilalanin ang Anak ko Nahiwalay sa akin nang pitong taon.. Kung Ganun.. ISIS NA pala sya kung gnaun?? ALLAH KNOWS kung saan tlaga

She appealed to readers to share the post so it could reach the show of a famous television personality. The Facebook page also showed an announcement of a reward offered for information on the missing Ram-Ram Abdul Jabbar Cabugatan, also known as Azramie Mangondacan as recorded on his birth certificate. Rohanisa told MindaNews in a telephone interview on Saturday morning that she may have found her son, if indeed that boy carrying a firearm was her missing son, but she may have lost him to the Maute Group. In another Facebook post, Dman Tomawis Rasuman wrote that the boy on the right side of the photograph, is his nephew whom he last saw on May 24 in Marawi City. Rasuman, a businessman and a Tabligh, denied the boy was a member of the terrorist group. “Pamangkin ko po yan at hindi po yan ISIS or MAUTE” (He is my nephew and he is not a member of the ISIS or Maute). Dman Tomawis Rasuman saiid the boy on the right side is his nephew who “is not a member of the ISIS or Maute” but may have been among those held hostage in Marawi City, He said the boy, around 11 years old, knows nothing about guns or what the war in Marawi is all about. “Wala po yng alam sa baril at wala din yang alam sa pakikipag digmaan,” he said. “Maawa kayo at matagal ng pinaghahanap yan” (Please have pity, we have been looking for that boy), Rasuman said, as he identified the boy as Alinor “Mayor” Usman. “Pls tulungan nyo po sya na maka alis sa grupo ng ISIS or MAUTE ako na po ang maggagrantiya sa kanya na hindi nya gawain or lehitimong membro ng ISIS or MAUTE plsss HELP US!” (Please help rescue him from the ISIS or Maute. I will guarantee he is not a member of the ISIS or Maute. Please help us,” Rasuman said. Alinor’s grandfather is the brother of Rasuman’s mother. Rasuman told MindaNews in a telephone interview Saturday morning that they have not heard from Alinor, his younger sister Aina and their father who resided in Barangay Lilod Madaya in Marawi City but stayed with them in the first two days of the Marawi war on May23 and 24. That was the last time Rasuman saw them. Alinor’s and Aina’s father was a carpenter, their mother was killed in a vehicular accident in Baclaran a few years ago and they lived with
Wednesday, August 30, 2017 their stepmother. They were not sent to school. Rasuman said they evacuated to Cagayan de Oro City on May 26. He said he is afraid Alinor and his family may have been among those taken hostage by the Maute Group and that his nephew and other children hostages may have been brainwashed by the Maute. Rasuman thinks Alinor’s father may not have survived because if he did, he could have prevented his son from carrying a firearm. (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

to be an improper refusal to consider one aspect of this weather aberration that could be a major key to understanding global warming and climate change, and then doing something truly effective to at least minimize the destruction and death that come with them. -oooRAINS, WINDS, FLOODS, PROPHESIED TO HAPPEN: This one major angle that seems to be deliberately ignored by many is the fact that both global warming and climate change, and the coming of deadly and destructive rains, floods, and winds, were in reality predicted to happen to the world. The Bible contained these predictions, with stunning accuracy yet. In its Book of Curses, the Bible warned that global warming and climate change will come. In His discourses among the people of His time, Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, warned that rains, floods, and winds will come. There will be death and destruction from these calamities, yes, but the Bible explained why these aberrations are coming. The Bible wrote that death and destruction will come from these calamities because people have turned their backs on God, not listening to Him anymore, not obeying His commands anymore. Clearly, if mankind will want to minimize or entirely avoid these death and destruction at least, people should reform, by listening to, and obeying, God all over again. That is a way that we must all try to do at this point! -oooWATCH “ANG TANGING DAAN” AT FACEBOOK: “Ang Tanging Daan” is a Bible exposition and prayer session for everyone, in English and Filipino, 24/7, worldwide, that can be viewed at www.facebook. com/angtangingdaan.

conquer evil with good. Though we wish to be in solidarity with all victims of injustice, we must move beyond expressions of outrage to constructive action.
Teach the youth, wealthy or poor, in our families, schools and our communities, about the evil of illegal drugs; engage them so they are helped to overcome bad habits and engage in good. Join groups that are involved in rehabilitation; many of these are diocesan or parish based; many of them are Civil Society Organizations. Capacitate ourselves to get involved. Join groups that partner with government to strengthen our security forces’ commitment to rights-based policing. Involve ourselves in research that studies the drug trade in the Philippines. Work together with the Church, government and CSOs to truly defeat the drug menace in the Philippines. Use privileged power and information to win this war. Where the fullness of life that the Lord came to bring us (Jn 10:10) is not to be undermined by the evil of drugs, we must be “as wise as serpents and as gentle as doves.” (Mt. 10:16). Some demons can be expelled “only by prayer and fasting” (Mt. 17:21). But prayer and fasting should also lead us to come together in the power of the Spirit to overcome this evil. (ANTONIO F. MORENO, S.J. / Provincial) Source: CBCPNews

Tingao, and the van driver Aljon Salazar Esmael. During his arrest, Cayamora concealed his identity by sporting a clean cut image (no more beard), and body and face covered with malong, prompting them to hold the family for further verification. When Cayamora was asked to remove the cover of his face, the soldier suspected him to be one of the persons in the gallery of the Maute terrorists. Posters of the Maute terrorists are posted in all checkpoints, police and army vehicles since the declaration of Martial Law. According to reports, Cayamora was rushed to the hospital after complaining of weakness and difficulty in breathing on Sunday dawn. He was reportedly given antibiotics and constantly monitored, he added. Cayamora again complained prompting jail nurse to conduct nebulization and put oxygen support.

development, and construction-related industries. Ayala Land Inc. first ventured to Davao City through Abreeza estate. Ayala brought in Abreeza Mall then Seda Hotel with a total investment of P15 billion over the last eight years.
Fernando Zobel de Ayala, president and COO of Ayala Corporation, said Ayala would bring in P20 billion investments in Davao and Mindanao by 2026. He said the Ayalas are also committed to help Mindanaoans and the administration’s campaign to rehabilitate and reconstruct Marawi. Duterte commended Aviana Development Corporation, Ayala Land, Inc., and the Alcantara Group of Companies for the initiative. “This joint venture shows what we can achieve when we foster strong ties with our partners in the private sector,” he said. Duterte said Azuela Cove is expected to boost commercial activity in the city as it will bring more jobs for the people of Davao City and neighboring areas. The President is optimistic the construction and operations alone would open more opportunities for Davaoenos with an estimated 6,500 workers to be employed. He said the surrounding areas are also expected to benefit from the increase in land value and the opportunities that will follow. “This property development will further define the city as a thriving hub in Mindanao,” he said. Duterte said Azuela Cove will make the community more sustainable as it will have condominiums, events tent and other amenities. He added he is also happy of the decision of St. Luke’s to establish inside the estate. “This state-of-the-art facility will help us address the medical needs of our people, contributing to the realization of our vision to have a more comprehensive and universal healthcare in the region,” he said.

The President stressed the launch of Azuela Cove is made possible due to the boldness and vision of the real estate industry. “This sector has been by our side in spurring growth in other sectors including commerce, employment and housing,” he pointed out. He wished that the collaboration of Alcantara and Ayala would open more opportunities and bring about prosperity and progress in Mindanao for the future generations. PNA

tims in both incidents were security guards of the same private security agency. One could smell something fishy here. We leave it to the local intelligence community to resolve the case. It appears that the security guards of the private security guard agency have become the favorite object of the “agaw-armas.” In many past experiences, an “agaw armas” is carried out by notorious criminals (most of them robbers) who might be plotting criminal activities in the future. In the local police parlance, it is called “savings.” These criminal elements are saving firearms through “agaw-armas” in order to arm themselves. The pattern, executed by the suspects in the Lapasan “agaw-armas,” is novice. For big time criminal groups, they are up on high powered firearms. Unless specified, the private security agencies are allowed to possess high powered firearms only on a temporary basis. This means that the private security agency must renew the license to possess the high caliber firearms every 90 days until the possession of the firearms is no longer necessary.

The Pillar Behind Brigada Eskwela’s Success By: RESSA MAY P. VALCORZA Teacher II-West City Central School
Bayanihan sa Paaralan widely known as Brigada Eskwela has become a major duty of every government schools in the county. The main point of this program is to congregate stakeholders both from public agencies and private companies to aid and share for the improvement of schools. As the popular Indian adage goes, “It takes a whole village to educate a child”. Without a doubt, to be committed to help, to share, and to care for the schools, comprising their adjacent community is something to realize. It is everyone’s duty to educate Filipino children-the hope of our nation. To achieve the very essence of the above undertaking, several committees should be organized. To be chosen as one of these committees for the Brigada Eskwela is a privileged, yet has its symmetrical responsibility incorporates it. From the several committees, one of which is the Advocacy and Marketing. This particular committee aims to invite, attract, gather, and find several benefactors or stakeholders in order to provide assistance to certain schools. It is merely synonymous to selling a product, thus, you must possess your own label enough to win your prospect clients. First and foremost you must hold a good public relation (PR) power, confidence, and the drive to keep you focused. As expected you will not only going to visit the medium ranks in the society, you are probably visiting several dignified individuals. Sometimes it is being misinterpreted that it is just an easy task to do which in fact it is not. One assigned to this type of responsibility must possess the passion of dealing with different personalities and convincing ability since outer part of the world is composed of different walks of life. While getting along the process, you will understand the whole thing. Expect the probability that you had to print and reprint new letters because the highest position from a certain office was new. Sometimes, you had to wait for several hours because the person you need to meet was still in a meeting, or worse, you
have to come back because the manager was out. Things like those mentioned-above were just fathomable stuff, except for those moments when you had to walk very fast and even did minor running to arrive on time or awful; to keep you dry when rain just suddenly poured from up the sky. And the thrill did not ended after dropping all the letters, because it was just the beginning of the whole thing. You don’t need to presume that those offices or person contacted were coming. You don’t have to guess and expect possibilities; you have to be sure for an exact answer. Thus, follow up is the KEY. Therefore, you need to go along the first part of the course. Going back to several companies and talking back different people to gather the estimated head counts coming on the day of the said Brigada Eskwela. Right and then, you will be going to experience not to eat on time just to arrive at their offices before its closing time or break. Recognizing your own sentiments when you realize your feet were wet and itchy due to heavy rains and you had to walk through. Finding your clothes dried up after sweating out because of the intense walk. Yet, you’d to be able to manage everything because you are the hope of your school’s success. You have to understand that among all other committees you are the one that solely have to function first, so all the rest will become useful. Why would I say that, they will count what resources you are going to bring and you have to realize that. When you bring nothing, they will also be counting nothing. Thus, you must be motivated and guided by your own duty. Have a determined mind and give all your trust and confidence to Him. When we are tasked, be happy and thankful, not everyone is blessed to be trusted by their immediate superiors. Learn the secret to fulfillment i.e. to do our very best and let God do the rest. Remember that His hands work for us but you have to use also yours to work for you. After all, it is you who will define your own purpose not Him. So be purposely DRIVEN.

Maute’s patriarch withheld ‘vital info’ on Marawi siege
D
AVAO CITY -- The chief of police in Davao City regrets the death of the patriarch of the Mautes as he could have the vital information on the Marawi siege launched in May.
Davao City Police Office (DCPO) Director, Sr. Supt. Alexander Tagum said it was unfortunate Cayamora Maute, the father of brothers Abdullah and Omar who led the attack on Marawi
City in May, died. Tagum said in two days that Cayamora was held in Davao City before his immediate transfer to Manila, he was not cooperative with the police authorities during
the investigation. “He was not cooperative. There was no voluntary information,” Tagum said in an interview Monday. But Tagum still believes the Maute patriarch was obviously the main solicitor for support to the ISIS. He said Cayamora even sent his children for foreign training. Cayamora had previous affiliations with Islamic groups. He reportedly led the
Maute group during his younger days. It may be recalled that Cayamora together with three family members were arrested by Task Force Davao after they were intercepted at the Sirawan checkpoint in Davao City on June 6. Cayamora was nabbed along with his second wife Kongan Alfonso-Maute, daughter Norjanna BalawagMaute, son-in-law Bensarali See maute, page 15
