MISAMIS ORIENTAL: The provincial government would distribute “water buffalos” to various farmer associations and individual farmers in Misamis Oriental, Governor Yevgeny Vincente “Bambi” Emano said.

Locally known as “kabaw,” and “carabao,” the

water buffalo is one of the most important farm animals in the preparation of farm lots for corn and rice planting.

Emano said that the Philippine Center for Carabao through the efforts of Senator Cynthia Villar, would soon turn over the 60 water buffalos to

the province of Misamis Oriental.

He said that the farm animals would be distributed to various farmer associations, cooperatives, and individual farmer – part of the province’s livestock dispersal program.

Emano, however, said that the “water buffalos” would not be used for See DISTRIBUTE, page 11

Mayor Sara thanks Cebuanos for continued support to PRRD D

By JOHN REY SAAVEDRA

AVAO City Mayor Sara Duterte on Tuesday thanked Cebuanos for their “continued support” to the programs of the national government under the leadership of her father, President Rodrigo Duterte.

Mayor Sara, who is in Cebu to grace the opening

of the month-long celebration of the 450th founding anniversary of the province, is hopeful that Cebuanos would continue to support her father’s presidency in the remaining three years.

Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia accompanied Mayor Sara in hopping from one booth to another to look

at the agricultural products and delicacies showcased in the agri-fishery trade fair inside the Cebu Provincial Capitol compound here.

During the formal program at the Cebu Provincial Capitol Social Hall, the leader from Mindanao hailed the province’s socioeconomic development and for being a “center of trade, commerce, education, and

industry in the Visayas for the past four and a half centuries.”

“The Province of Cebu is definitely a force to be reckoned with. And the proof of the province how it has positioned itself as a main tourism and investment destination south of Manila is something other places and local governSee SUPPORT, page 11

Duterte won’t impose martial law on Negros Island

By AZER PARROCHA

Despite the spate of killings on Negros Island in the past weeks, President Rodrigo Duterte will not impose martial law there, at least for now, Malacañang said on Tuesday.

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo made this assurance nearly a week after he said Duterte can declare martial law to quell lawless violence in Negros Oriental.

Panelo, who is also Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, explained that martial law can only be declared in case

of invasion or rebellion or when public safety warrants it.

“Martial law will only be imposed in accordance with the Constitution. Just like in Negros -- I asked him last night about Negros, ang sinabi niya (and he said) you and I are lawyers, we know that we cannot just impose martial law unless the requirements are there,” Panelo said in a Palace briefing.

Behavior of children

By ANNA LIZA M. ELECCION Agay-ayan Elementary School Gingoog City

TEACHERS can’t actually control their students’ behavior. Make expectations clear. Kids feel more in control when they know exactly what’s expected of them which is why teachers must begin each new school year by establishing clear behavioral expectations. Begin by asking the class to help you devise a list of rules to keep everyone’s attention focused on learning. Be sure to state the rules in a positive way whenever possible to give children positive behavioral goals. “Raise your hand and wait to be called on before speaking” is better than “don’t speak unless you’re called on.”

Have a predictable daily schedule. Kids also feel in control when teachers post a clear, easy to follow schedule for everyone to see. For younger kids, the schedule may include pictures – an image of a book to represent quiet reading time for instance.

For olde4r kids, it may include homework specifics and main objectives of the day’s lessons.

Teachers must check off or erase items as the day progresses to help slow learners manage their time and prepare for upcoming transitions – a common trigger for bad behavior.

Explicitly teach routines and be consistent.

The contemptible senior high schools

Concerned educators and adamant Filipino students have expressed apprehensions over the implementation of K12 in the country in 2015.

By the way, K12 includes kindergarten and 12year education (six years in the primary, four years in high school and two years in Senior High School).

The Department of Education (DepEd), the government’s implementing agency of the K12 and Senior High School (SHS) program, has expressed the optimism that the K12 curriculum could enhance the learner’s basic skills and prepare graduates for a “lifelong learning and employment.”

After the SHS was ad-

opted four years ago in 2015, the skeptics remained as skeptics as they were. While the K12 or SHS is one of the best educational curricula in many countries, it is the worst in the Philippines.

Is it because the schools, who got an accreditation from DepEd, were having sub-standard curriculum?

After four years into K12 since 2015, the future of the K12 students remains obscure. In fact, the high expectations for the graduating K12 students in March next year is doused frustration and uncertainty. What gives?

Everyone expects that the Senior High graduates in the Philippines deserved to become an accredited NC2

graduates. NC stands for National Certificate issued by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

NC is also called Certificate of Competency (COC), which could be obtained by students with no formal qualifications, but has been trained in specialized skills.

With NC2 accreditation, the Senior High graduate is presumed to have developed specialized skills for some specialized for work. In some instances, graduating the SHS provide access to a higher level program such as the capability to complete a college degree.

In a nutshell, SHS graduate would be ready to work after obtaining an NC2 from

Cris Diaz

the TESDA. Unfortunately, parents and students alike are complaining because most of the K12 subjects offered by schools in the country, did not meet the TESDA requirements.

Doubt? Ask a Senior High student who purportedly enrolled in electricity in an accredited SHS school.

It is shocking for an SHS student does not know the difference between Alternating Current and Direct Current.

What is happening Mr. DepEd? How the hell that See CONTEMPTIBLE, page 11

Have my say

Stop abusing land now!

Scientists are poised to deliver a stark condemnation of the damage we are wreaking on the land surface of the planet. We have degraded soils, expanded deserts, felled forests, driven out wildlife, and drained peat lands.

In the process, we have turned the land from an asset that combats climate change into a major source of carbon. The scientists will say we must stop abusing the land if we hope to avoid catastrophic climate heating. That’s how BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin expressed his worries. And not only his.

Many people think the same way.

I learned it from experts: uncultivated land covered with vegetation protects us from overheating because the plants absorb the warming gas

CO2 from the air and fix it in the soil.

But the scientists meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, will say the way we farm and grow timber often actually increases emissions of carbon dioxide.

Between a quarter and a third of all greenhouse gas emissions are now estimated to come from land use.

The scientists will warn of a battle for land between multiple competing demands: bio fuels, plant material for plastics and fibres, timber, wildlife, paper and pulp - and food for a growing population.

Their report will say we need to make hard choices about how we use the world’s soil.

And it will offer another warning that our hunger for red meat is putting huge stress on the land

to produce animal feed, as well as contributing to half of the world’s emissions of methane - another greenhouse gas.

Following BBC expert Roger Harrabin the document’s being finalized this week among scientists and government officials on the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It will become the most authoritative report yet on the way we use and abuse the land. Scientists hope it will give the issue of land use greater prominence in negotiations on climate change.

The question is how we use it. But each and every one of us can still (!) help our Mother Earth and its climate.

We need to protect as much natural forest as we can, particularly in the tropics! Change diets to

Klaus Doring

eat less red meat and more vegetables. Safeguard peat lands and restore them w he re p o ss ibl e. Grow plants and trees to produce energy… but only on a small local scale. Do more agro-forestry, where food crops are mixed in with trees. Improve crop varieties.

Farmers in some parts of the world will be hit harder by climate change - also in the Philippines.

There’s still some debate.

One option is to concentrate intensive farming into the smallest possible area of land, in order to leave as much natural land as possible to soak up CO2.

Nuts & Bolts

Bangkok to Hong Kong, the world’s second most popular flight Based from the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) report , the world’s top five flying routes are all in the Asia Pacific region .

One reason for the growth can be attributed to the number of flights being operated by low-cost carriers in the region.

Passenger traffic between Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi) and Hong Kong airport is Number Two on the list of the airports with the world’s busiest air traffic. However flights between Hong Kong and Taipei Taoyuan, Taiwan, is still the most popular route in the world carrying

5.4 million passengers per year. While traffic between Suvarnabhumi and Hong Kong reached 3.4 million in 2018, up 9% from 2017.

In the report from IATA world airline traffic for 2018 also shows that airlines in the Asia Pacific carried the largest number of passengers in the world.

Global passenger traffic results for 2018 showed that demand rose by a healthy 6.5% compared to fullyear 2017. Although this represented a slowdown compared to the 2017 annual growth of 8.0%, it was another year of above-trend growth. Full year 2018 ca-

pacity climbed 6.1%, and load factor edged up 0.3 percentage point to a record 81.9%, exceeding the previous high set in 2017.

“Airlines are connecting more people and places than ever before. The freedom to fly is more accessible than ever. And our world is a more prosperous place as a result,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA directorgeneral and CEO. In terms of pure numbers of flights for 2018, here are the results. Eight out of ten of the routes are all in the Asia-Pacific.

Phoenix Petroleum issues P3.5 billion commercial papers

PHOENIX Petroleum Philippines, Inc. (PPPI), the nation’s fastest-growing and leading independent oil company, issued on August 5, 2019, P3.5 billion worth of Commercial Papers (CP) under Series B of its Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered three-

year, P10 Billion Commercial Paper Program.

Priced at a discount rate of 7.00%, the CP Series B shall be redeemed in 360 days. PNB Capital and Investment Corporation served as lead arranger and issue manager. The issuance shall support the short-term funding re-

quirements of the company for its importation and sale of petroleum products, and follows the initial P7 billion issuance last December 27, 2018 under Series A and B. “The issuance of the commercial papers is instrumental in supporting the more immediate

demands of our petroleum business, which has displayed consistent and significant growth over the years, and also reflects the positive financial ratings of the company. As a home-grown institution with humble beginnings, this feat is a tremendous leap that will fuel more

business milestones,” said Phoenix Petroleum Chief Operating Officer Henry Albert Fadullon.

PPPI’s P10 billion Commercial Paper Program was recently awarded Best Debt Deal for the Philippines by the 2019 Asian Banking and Finance Corporate and Investment Banking Awards. Recognized as a landmark transaction, it was the first to utilize the new Securities Regulation Code (SRC) IRR rule 12.1.2.5, which enables the company to reissue the commercial papers within the three-year registration validity provided the total outstanding issuance does not exceed the registered P10 billion amount at any given time. This structure provides issuers flexible

source of financing for working capital requirements, and offers retail and institutional investors a fair return over a short period of time.

“Such recognition shows that a proper debt structure advised and packaged by a reputable institution like PNB Capital, and driven behind the growth story and track record of a dynamic company such as Phoenix Petroleum, not only raises investor confidence, but likewise has the strong support of the financial industr y,” Ma. Concepcion de Claro, Chief Finance Officer and Treasurer of Phoenix Petroleum, shared during the issuing ceremonies. “The company has long valued See PHOENIX, page 11

Ayala Land to launch P111-B projects in H2

By LESLIE GATPOLINTAN

PH economy likely grew 6% in Q2

By LESLIE GATPOLINTAN

MANILA -- The Philippine economy likely expanded by 6 percent in the second quarter and is poised to accelerate further all the way until yearend, supported by strong consumer, government, and investment spending.

A joint report by the First Metro Investment C orp. (FMIC) and the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) said the “tri-star domestic demand engines” are positioned to “speed up the Philippine economic machine” starting April to June, boosted by plunging inflation and the national government’s (NG) catch-up spending plan.

In the latest issue of the Market Call, FMIC and UA&P pointed out they expect a renewed sharp fall in headline inflation to below 2 percent by August, and even below 1.5 percent especially with base effects, due to lower rice and other food prices.

“The 13 consecutive months of over-20 percent growth in infrastructure spending (from October 2017 to November 2018) should constitute sufficient evidence that the NG can ramp up spending for the rest of 2019,” it added.

The countr y’s gross

domestic product (GDP) slowed down to 5.6 percent in the first quarter, which the FMIC and UA&P considered a “blip” as it was mainly driven by the decline in public construction due to the delay in the 2019 national government budget approval.

“Private investments look robust as well with major Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects in full swing, and bond yields (and interest rates) moving down to 4.5 percent should renew residential construction and durable goods spending,” they added.

The report further said lower interest rates and the slight improvement in the external trade data should likewise further drive growth to a higher trajectory.

FMIC and UA&P expected a minimum 25 basis points (bps) cut in United States Fed’s policy rate in July.

The additional trimming of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ policy rate by 50 bps and the required reser ve ratio (RRR) by 200 bps in second half of the year will “add fuel to growth --in the real economy and financial markets”, they said. (PNA)

The GDP (gross domestic product) continues to be quite healthy… As we move forward, we are gearing to continue to expand our footprint nationally, (and) also to introduce more products in the market,” ALI President and Chief Executive Officer Bernard Vincent Dy said in a press briefing Monday.

ALI Chief Finance Officer Augusto Cesar Bengzon said they targeted to launch PHP130 billion worth of new inventory in the property market this year.

The property firm already launched 13 projects worth PHP19.5 billion in the first half of the year.

ALI recorded a 12-percent increase in net income to PHP15.2 billion in the first

six months of 2019 from PHP13.54 billion during the same period last year.

Its revenues also rose by 4 percent to PHP83.2 billion from PHP80.4 billion, driven by the sustained growth of property development business led by office sales, complemented by the strong topline growth of its commercial leasing businesses.

The company’s extensive portfolio has allowed it to maximize the demand for residential, office and commercial properties, generating real estate revenues of PHP81.9 billion.

Property development revenues amounted to PHP58.9 billion as supported

“We continue to build our nationwide footprint as we gear up to launch estates in Batangas and Tarlac.

Our best in class landbank of over 11,000 hectares is strategically positioned in the most progressive areas in the country and will support our long-term growth objectives,” Dy said.

Bengzon said 80 percent of the company’s landbank is strategically concentrated in Central Luzon, Mega Manila, and CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), which collectively account for about two-thirds of the country’s GDP. (PNA)

MANILA -- A herbal supplement developed through a loan from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will be available by mid-August.

DOST Secretary Fortunato dela Peña, in an interview with the media on Tuesday, said the supplement was made from “tawatawa” (Euphorbia hirta), but instead of drying the leaves, the manufacturer focused on its extracts.

The supplement was developed by Herbanext, a company that specializes on natural products such as vegetables and fruits. “They prioritize plants or fruits that are known to be associated with illnesses based on folkloric literature,” he said.

Dela Peña added that Herbanext conducts studies on herbal plants that may cure headache, fever, problem in urination, among others.

“Tawa-tawa was proven to have anti-viral properties.

They (Herbanext) made this into capsule or tablet,” he continued.

The DOST chief emphasized that this is just a supplement, and not a medicine.

Herbanext have yet to conduct clinical trials for this supplement, which means testing this on humans.

“They’re done with the pre-clinical trial. They used a mice to see (the supplement’s) effect, and they found out that it has caused the platelet count to increase,” dela Pena shared.

The product was already registered and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a supplement.

“It is not considered a medicine until it’s not tested on humans. A supplement, if you talk about safety, is See HERBAL, page 11

Educational management as a career

By ROWENA BATERNA SUMAGANG Administrative Aide VI Division Office Tangub City

EDUCATIONAL management is the aim of any Education student who wants to become an administrative aide.

From an entry-level position, an administrative aide ultimately aims to become an administrative officer at the division level and into the regional office. From there, his or her career goes upward.

That is why educational management is defined as both a field of academic study and a collective group of professionals that includes principals, teachers and other education professionals.

Sometimes known as educational administration, educational management is commonly associated with elementary and secondary schools as well as institutes of

higher learning like colleges and universities.

They can also be found in government agencies, private companies and even non-government organizations. They will ultimately become policy makers, researchers and consultants to help evaluate and develop ways in enriching the educational system in the country, the K to 12 curriculum notwithstanding. To do that, they may either proceed with a master’s degree or take up a CESO exam.

Teaching professionals who are aiming to go up the career ladder must mind their performance.

They must make sure that the schools that they are in charge are populated with students who are academically excellent.

Respondents. x- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -/ COMPLAINT

COMPLAINANT, through the undersigned counsels, unto the Honorable Court, respectfully submits this Complaint and avers that: I. The Parties 1.1 The Complainant Joan Galleros Bhatti, is of legal age, Filipino, divorced, and is duly represented by Kamenev Kiril P. Dagpin and Iris Lenore B. Monterona, both of legal age, married and single respectively with residential addresses at Lahoylahoy St., Pioneer’s Village, Purok 3A, Brgy. Hinaplanon, Iligan City and Poblacion, Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte, respectively; Attached herewith as Annex “A” is the Special Power of Attorney executed by the Complainant in favor of the representatives; 1.2 Respondent Kailash Bhatti is of legal age, Indian National, divorced, with his last known address at Godavarkhani, India, and he is being impleaded as an interested person being the other party to the previous marriage and the divorce of the Complainant; 1.3 Public respondents Department of Foreign Affairs (Office of the Consular Affairs) may be served with summons at Bradco Avenue corner Macapagal Boulevard, Aseana Business Park, Brgy . Tambo, Parañaque, Metro Manila, 1714, and at the Office of the Civil Registrar General, 2/F PSA TAM Building East Avenue, Quezon City 1101; 1.4 The Respondent Local Civil Registrar of Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte is primarily impleaded as the respondent on behalf of the Office of the Civil Registrar while Respondent Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Singapore thru the Department of Foreign Affairs-Office of the Consular Affairs is impleaded and to be notified of the fact of the filing of this Complaint for it is within its jurisdiction that this marriage being assailed was celebrated, particularly at Silat Road Gurduwara, 9 Jalan Bukit Merah Singapore 16943; 1.5 Local Civil Registrar of Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte is primarily impleaded as the respondent in this Complaint for the reason that it is well within this geographic vicinity that the parties can conveniently litigate this Complaint; Both the Complainant and respondent Kailash Bhatti maintainj their residences outside the country. Representative Iris Lenore Monterona currently maintains her residence in Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte, then it would be legally suitable for the convenience of both parties that this Complaint be filed and be heard in the Court within the Judicial Region nearest the available Philippine address of either parties, that is in a Regional Trial Court located here in Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte; 1.6 The filing of and trial for this Complaint is proper within this local judicial region as this circumstance only constitutes the venue for the case. Jurisdiction over this complaint is properly within the premises of the Regional Trial Court.

II. Nature of the Complaint 2.1 The foregoing complaint is one for the Judicial Recognition of a Foreign Divorce Decree filed by the Complainant, a Filipino Citizen (and therefore governed by the Philippine Law) against the respondent, an Indian National, pursuant to Article 15 of the New Civil Code and Article 26 of the Family Code, and the Complainant herein seeks to be approved so that said decree, in turn, may be recorded in the Local Civil Registry because she is a Filipino citizen, and she was once married to the respondent and their marriage record or marital status remains as “married” in the records of the Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Singapore per Certificate of Marriage under Registry No. 321/2008 dated 17th of November, 2008, copy of which is appended as Annex “B” and made as an integral part of this Complaint. Thus, Complainant seeks for the recognition of foreign divorce decree and the same be recorded in the Local Civil Registry;

III. Factual Antecedents 3.1 The Complainant and private respondent Kailash Bhatti, entered into a contract of marriage on said date which is recorded as Registry No. 321/2008 (See Annex B hereof).

3.2 Subsequently, sometime in 2012, the parties, initiated by the private respondent, obtained divorce decree No. D3572/2012/V issued by the Subordinate Courts of the Republic of Singapore, copy of which is herewith appended as ANNEX “C” and made as an integral part hereof, the original of which was duly authenticated by Zaharah Ramli, Registrar of the Family Courts of Singapore on October 11, 2018; IV. Legal and Procedural Bases 4.1 Pursuant to Sec. 48, Rule 39 of the Rules of Court and the Supreme Court ruling in conjunction with the dictum in Republic vs. Orbeciso III, judgments/ orders rendered by the foreign courts must be passed upon judicially by Philippine Court to prove its validity; 4.2 Filed before this Regional Trial Court, is this instant Complaint for recognition of a foreign decree of divorce that it may be recognizd in this jurisdiction, pursuant to Rule 39 Sec. 48; 4.3 As for the venue of this special proceeding, it is not merely for convenience that Complainant opted to file this Complaint here in Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte, as this right to choose the venue is provided for by the rules. The propriety of venue in civil vis-a-vis criminal case is enunciated in another case where it was held that:

It is elementary that objections to venue in CIVIL ACTIONS arising from libel may be waived since they do not involve a question of juisdiction. The laying of venue is procedural rather than substantive, relting as it does to jurisdiction of the court over the person rather than the subject matter. Venue relates to trial and not to jurisdiction, matter. It relates to the place of trial or geographical location in which an action or proceeding should be brought and not to the jurisdiction of the Court. It is meant to provide convenience to the parties, rather than restrict their access to the courts as it relates to the place of trial. In contrast, in criminal actions, it is fundamental that venue is jurisdictional it being an essential element of jurisdiction.

4.4 As the Complaint shows, its filing is properly made with respect to jurisdiction. As for the venue, the Complaint sufficient cited that the parties are now based abroad. To strictly require that the Complaint should be filed and tried in Singapore would now amount to restricting the parties access to the courts, in contravention of the rule that venue is not jurisdictional.

PRAYER WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is prayed of the Honorable Court that: (a) This Complaint be heard and decided in this jurisdiction and venue; (b) After trial, judgment be rendered GRANTING this instant Complaint by Judicially Recognizing the Final Decree of Divorce between Complaint Joan Galleros Bhatti and private respondent Kailash Bhatti dated December 12, 2012 No. D3572/2012/V issued by the Subordinate Courts of the Republic of Singapore (Annex C to the herein Complaint); and (c) to order the Local Civil Registry Office of Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte to register said decision; (d) Other reliefs, just and equitable under the circumstances are likewise prayed for.

Herbanext’s supplement fights the dengue virus, and increases the platelet count.

This should not be used to prevent dengue, he noted.

Meanwhile, Dela Peña confirmed that the DOST spent PHP8.3 million for the equipment used by Herbanext. He clarified, however, that the equipment was used also to develop other products, and that the company would return the money.

The supplement can be bought under the brand name Daily Apple.

According to dela Peña, Herbanext sells products under this brand, and indicate the plant used in the packaging. Thus, buyers should look for Daily Apple, with “tawa-tawa” written on the packaging.

This will be available initially at the Daily Apple stores in Quezon City, Bacolod, Cebu, Davao, and General Santos.

Dela Peña said Herbanext is currently coordinating with other drug stores to make this product available to more people. (PNA)

Panelo said Duterte has ordered 300 Special Action Force (SAF) troops to Negros Island to augment the local police in anticriminality and internal security operations there.

On July 18 this year, four police intelligence operatives were tortured and killed in Barangay Mabato in Ayungon town.

From July 23 to July 28, a total of 13 people were killed -- including a lawyer tagged as sympathetic to the NPA in Guihulngan City, a former mayor of Ayungon town, an incumbent councilor of Canlaon City, a barangay captain in Canlaon City,

The younger Duterte noted the efforts of the officials of 44 towns and seven component cities in Cebu province in “coming together in the shared pursuit of sustainable development.”

Garcia, in her speech, said there were hardships and challenges, “yet we stood firmly, ready to face the next tomorrow. That is the indubitable unbreakable skills of the Cebuanos.”

“I say with deep sense of hope because throughout the four and a half centuries, we have seen the colonization of Cebu, the coming of the Americans, the occupation by the Japanese, the typhoons, the earthquakes and the attempts to break up Cebu into four provinces… we not only survived, we prevailed,” the governor said.

The month-long celebration will showcase the provincial government’s wide range of projects, including the relaunching of Garcia’s long-time community-based tourism development program dubbed “Suroy-Suroy sa Sugbo on Aug. 14 and “Pasigarbo sa Sugbo 2019” at the Cebu City Sports Center on August 25.

Agabe emphasized that “When we say Whole-ofNation approach, all other stakeholders, not only the military and the police, not only those in the government but including those in the community are included in this mission.”

Out of 798 barangays identified as conflict-affected areas, provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays, 27 are from the Northern Mindanao. Two of these barangays are from Misamis Oriental.

With this, DILG Misamis Oriental Provincial Director Marisia C. Naybe urged these barangays to prioritize the creation and functionality of the said local task force.

“We urged our local officials to take part on this mission as we remind that they should be able to create their task force before August 31, 2019,” she said.

Dengue... from page 1

867 dengue cases recorded the highest number of deaths with 11 deaths followed by Cagayan De Oro City with 1,557 cases and only eight deaths.

Suba-an said that based on the ratio between dengue cases and deaths, the city of Iligan recorded the number of deaths followed

by Cagayan De Oro City.

Suba-an appealed to the public to join in the fight against the proliferation of Dengue cases in Northern Mindanao.

“Dengue kills! Let us clean the surroundings, and destroy the breeding ground of mosquitoes at all cost,” Suba-an said.

He reminded that the Dengue carrier mosquitoes thrived in clean water like the water residue of the refrigerators, flower vases, tires, and water dispensers found at home.

Suba-an also suggested to apply the 4s approach in the fight against Dengue in schools, offices, and at homes.

The 4s stand for “search and destroy,” “seek early medication,” “self-protection measures,” and “say ‘yes’ to fogging.”

Contemptible... from page 4

these schools were accredited as a K12 accredited college or university? Is it because of money?

The DepEd also offers a subsidy of P 20,000 per school year for every K12 student enrolled in private schools.

Aside from getting the P20,000 annual subsidy per student, the school collects an additional P11,000 per school year for every student.

On the contrary, the high school teachers are treating these students as “ordinary high school” students. Bull!

If these high school mentors are no cretins, then, they are morons! Did you not know that the K12 students are supposedly second year college in the tertiary level? Why treat them like knotty kids?

Well, it only shows that the teachers in the K12 or Senior High school level are not qualified at all. When teachers in Senior High are supposedly highly trained in their field of specialization, most teachers who were hired have not even passed the Licensure Exam for Teachers (LET).

In other words, the K12 students get nothing in return and could not even pass the TESDA accreditation.

Time has come for Mr. DepEd to review the eligibility of all SHS in the country today, especially in Cagayan De Oro City. Otherwise, the spirit of the K12 students would be a waste of time, effort, and money.

Enough of the commercialized educational system! The government has adopted the K12 to prepare the students to carry out the responsibility of a trained and skilled person. It is expected that after completing the K12, the student would beready to face the future in its practical sense.

If Mr. DepEd will allow the undeserving schools offering K12 or Senior High to continue to operate, we will produce useless Senior High graduates, as useless as incompetent SHS teachers of contemptible schools.

XU Sale Not A Done Deal:

Historian cites basis why Rome’s approval necessary

S

By MIKE BAÑOS

OCIAL Anthropologist and Local Historian Antonio J. Montalvan II recently cited the historical basis why the planned sale of portions of Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan) to finance its “Campus of the Future” has ways to go before it can move forward.

In an opinion column published at a local daily last week entitled “Is the XU Sale the High Road?”, Montalvan cited the historical basis for the process of approval.

“The plan cannot be a done deal, for historical reasons unknown to many.

Here is where a working knowledge of the history of XU Ateneo is necessary,” Montalvan wrote.

As an official apostolic undertaking of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), Mon-

talvan cited how Xavier Ateneo is a Jesuit Institution under its responsibility when it was granted this status on May 5, 1940 by then Jesuit Father General Most Rev. Fr. Vlodimir Ledochowski.

Thus, the proposed plan to sell four of six hectares of its Divisoria campus, and 14 of 63 hectares of its Manresa campus to a land developer Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) would not prosper without the imprimatur of the current Jesuit Father General Most Rev. Arturo Sosa.

Superior General Arturo Sosa, S.J. as the Superior General of the Society of Jesus ( the official title of the leader of the Society of Jesus, the Roman Catholic religious order better known as the Jesuits), is generally addressed as Father General.

In a letter to Xavier Ateneo dated 26 March 2019, Sosa was positive about the project’s outlook.

“In general, the plan seems reasonable, and some initial legwork has been done. Thus, I would

be open to this alienation and eventual transfer,” Sosa wrote.

“However, given the magnitude of this undertaking, involving such an enormous amount of money, I ask that more in-depth and

extensive discernment and consultationbe done before approving this request.”

“Dialogue with the faculty, staff, students, and parents of XU, and even representatives from the alumni would be important.

Should serious questions be raised in this process, they should likewise be addressed. I would like to see that the objections and alternative solutionsare sufficiently addressed,” Sosa added.

Montalvan stressed how Father General used an unequivocal term – dialogue – and describes the process to include: “Should serious questions be raised in this process, they should likewise be addressed. My hope is that this would make this project even stronger,

with greater and more solid support from major stakeholders.”

XU President Fr. Roberto C. Yap further notes that the Jesuit Father General called not only for dialogue but also discernment.

He wrote, “Even more important than discussion and dialogue with the different sectors is a true discernment, which would involve spiritual conversation, and which would require a profound spiritual freedom and an authentic desire to search for the will of God for such an important decision.”

The discernment process involving spiritual conversations about the XU campus of the future will be conducted by the XU President’s Council; the XU Board of Trustees; the Ateneo Presidents; former XU Presidents with Archbishop Ledesma; and Fr Provincial and his Consult during the next few weeks, according to Fr. Yap. To date, XU has conducted consultations with parents of grade school, junior and senior high school students, college students and their leaders, college and high school alumni (including an exclusive consultation for XU Aggies), faculty, deans and chairs as well as stakeholders in government and civic society.
