Department of Health (DOH) spokesperson, Dr. Lyndon Lee Suy, said this is the best way to stay healthy during the Christmas season.

Bukidnon plans to build sports complex

By Walter I. Balane MindaNews

MALAYBALAY CITY – An amount of P250 million from the 2018 funds of Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri has been allotted for the construction of a provincial sports complex in Bukidnon, Gov. Jose Ma. R. Zubiri Jr. said.

Gov. Zubiri made the announcement to members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan during their regular session on December 12. He said they are still choosing from two sites, one each in Malaybalay and Valencia cities.

The provincial government would need at least P500 million to build a standard sports complex, so the provincial government will allot another P250 million in its budget next year, he said.

He said land acquisition alone, which could be achieved next year, is estimated at P150 million at P1 million per hectare for 15 hectares.

“Finally, we’ve been dreaming about that,” said

Maite Abellanosa, head of the tourism cluster of the Bukidnon Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. Her group had organized sports events in the past.

She said the sports complex should be in Malaybalay because it is home to world-class athletes who have performed well in international competitions.

“This is going to be the biggest step that the province can make in terms of its war on drugs and alcoholism. The community needs a place wherein they can work out, run, swim and even take boxing lessons,” she said.

She added [building the complex] will enable the city to get rid of its reputation as the home of many alcoholics.

Kenneth Amiel M. Taylor, a sports coach and triathlete, said it will hopefully become a reality so that Bukidnon can compete well in national events.

“We can’t compete due to lack of sports facilities.

The sports complex will level the playing field,” he said, adding it is also good for the health of the citizens.

Taylor said Bukidnon is probably the only province in Northern Mindanao without a sports complex.

Albert Celebran, sports coordinator of Bukidnon State University, said it is important to have a sports complex.

“This is one way to develop athletes, sportsmanship and discipline for everyone,” he said.

Former television reporter Roy Perfuma, a graduate student, said the sports complex will be a big boost for the province to host national sporting events.

“This can serve as show window of the of the province’s unprecedented growth over the years,” he added.

But he added that there are other equally important projects like concreting of road networks, repair of bridges that connect to

farm to market roads and construction of more classrooms.

This is not the first time a plan to build Bukidnon’s sports complex was announced. In December 2008, it was also announced in the SP that P150 million has been earmarked for the project from the President’s Social Fund of then president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Board member Oliver Owen Garcia mentioned the funding then when he expounded on the city government of Valencia’s plan to donate a lot to the provincial government for the sports

complex.

He said they are willing to enter into an agreement with the provincial government over an eight-hectare lot in Barangay Bagontaas, Valencia which was offered as site for the facility.

Back in 2008, the provincial legislators deliberated on whether it would be proper to arrange for a donation or usufruct scheme renewable for 25 years.

Garcia told MindaNews on December 12 that the project did not push through.

Another source said a site in Barangay Laguitas, Malaybalay has been considered, too.

In 2010, the SP passed a resolution urging the Philippine Sports Commission to consider Bukidnon as host of the 2011 Palarong Pambansa, as the province will soon construct an “ultra modern sports complex.”

Then Board member Nemesio Beltran Jr., who sponsored the resolution, said the sports complex would be built on an eighthectare area in Valencia.

Officials said then that the city government of Valencia offered a site in Bagontaas to ensure that the complex would be built in that city. (Walter I. Balane/ MindaNews)

Can Filipinos still be merry this Christmas 2017?

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…

Therefore Jesus said again, `Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep… I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full’. ..” (John 10:7, 10, the Holy Bible).

-oooCAN FILIPINOS STILL BE MERRY THIS CHRISTMAS 2017? Can Filipinos still greet one another “Merry Christmas, Happy New Year” in the face of the calamities and tragedies that struck them this 2017?

Indeed, many died from typhoons that came even if it is already December (the month which, from my younger days in Tarlac, was certified typhoon-free already), and from increasingly gruesome and unsolved murders across the country.

What is more, becoming rude and unruly and possessing a grossly defective character on the part of many Filipinos, which was highlighted by the recent incident of a woman matterof-factly slapping a driver in public, in the middle of a busy road yet due to a very minor traffic altercation, is a fact of life that can no longer be denied or hidden under the rug nowadays.

And, even supposedlylofty government officials continue to be shamelessly engaged in endless brawls,

just like the recent verbal tussle between two top officials of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, on the matter of “small town lottery”, a numbers game, being illegally operated. Capping all of these, of course, was President Duterte’s statement he is in favor of same sex marriages in the Philippines.

-oooMANY FILIPINOS STILL FACE A DARK FUTURE: We should not forget likewise the controversy hounding opposing groups on the projected increase of prices of basic commodities this coming new year, on account of the recently-approved tax reform law. So, the question really is, can Filipinos still say they will be merry this Christmas 2017, and that their new year in 2018 would still be prosperous and happy?

As I see it, the Philippines and all Filipinos would face gargantuan problems as the new year ushers itself in. For one, despite the fierce and deadly campaign against illegal drugs and shabu of the Duterte government, it cannot be denied that trading and pushing or peddling of drugs continue to be a nationwide phenomenon.

This is the reason why the future continues to look

dark and grim, as well as foreboding, for many of our countrymen.

Indeed, if there were people linked to drugs who have been “neutralized” and killed as of now, new replacements have come as fast as the batting of an eyelash. If we are to believe reports that are circulating hereabouts, these new drugs bosses are more ruthless and far greedier than the liquidated drug lords or couriers. This is why many believe that no change has really come on the issue of drugs.

-oooFILIPINOS DESCENDING TO SINFULNESS NON-STOP: If we add to the ongoing problem of drugs the unending and unceasing descent of Filipinos towards personal sinfulness which is even carried over by them to their official duties and responsibilities if they get appointed to government, it would become very clear that nothing truly changed in the country by the advent---and, after six years, by the end---of the Duterte government.

Is there still a solution?

Yes there is, but it would require a truly dedicated action, starting Christmas 2017. To all who truly are believers in God who will commemorate once more His birth in the form of

Atty. Batas Mauricio

man this year, we can start real change. Change that is not dependent on one man or one group alone, but on God. We must do this by changing our minds, or the way we think.

It is a fact that the mind is the entry of point of evil for any person, and this is particularly true for the mind of an individual who has no knowledge of the Word and commands of God. In order for us to fight off the evil one, we must endeavor to fill up our minds with the Word of God from the Bible (or even from the holy books of other groups), committing ourselves to obey the commands written therein.

This will certainly change our lives for the better!

WE are Mindanawons who are deeply troubled by the decision of President Rodrigo Duterte to seek for a second extension of Martial Law and the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in Mindanao, which was first declared through Proclamation 216 s. 2017.

We are unconvinced of the need to continue Martial Law beyond December 31, 2017. Rule of law demands that we satisfy the Constitutional provision that Martial Law can only be declared when there is actual rebellion or invasion. Military reports, the pronouncements of national leaders, and the letter of Pres. Duterte to Congress cited what could be described as unfinished business and potential threats. But they did not factually point to any actual rebellion or invasion in Mindanao.

We find it disquieting that the President consistently defers to the military on the matter of Martial Law. While the security sector should provide information that can help government in making vital decisions, the ultimate decision-making should rest with civilian authority.

Despite many reforms in the security sector, there are hawkish elements and agenda that need to be reined in.

The democratic mandate given to this administration by the results of the 2016 elections is also an expectation that civilian rule be upheld by those we voted into office.

We are confident that even without Martial Law, government has sufficient will, capacity and support to continue to address the problems of Mindanao. Although facing many challenges, most of the local governments in Mindanao have not been incapacitated and are functional. Governance challenges are best resolved through civilian, rather than military and adventurist, means.

This is not the first time that the words “rebellion” and “terrorist” were used in describing the country’s circumstances to rationalize drastic and heavy-handed changes. Marcos’s Proclamation 1081, which mentioned Mindanao at least 13 times, also used those as justifications.

Proclamation 1081 cited Mindanao in association with the terms “lawlessness,” “fear and panic,” “chaos and disorder,” “armed clashes, killings, massacres, arsons, rapes, pillages, destruction of whole villages and towns and the inevitable cessation of agricultural and industrial operations, and “state of actual war.” Rather than prevent the escalation of those troubles, Proclamation 1081’s arguments became a self-fulfilling prophecy for Mindanao under Marcos’s Martial Law. History shows that considerable hurts and harms were caused by Marcos’s proclamation that started out as a promise to “maintain law and order,” “suppress all forms of lawless violence as well as any act of insurrection and rebellion and to enforce obedience to all the laws and decrees, orders and regulations.”

We fear that the avowed intentions of an extended Martial Law—to “quell completely and prevent same from escalating to other parts of the country,” for “public safety” and to “enable government and the people of Mindanao to pursue the bigger task of rehabilitation and the promotion of a stable socio-economic growth and development”—would lead to an eventual return to the same repressive conditions, if not worse, that Mindanawons encountered under the time of Marcos.

We are also disturbed by the issuance of Proclamations 360 and 374 that respectively terminated the peace negotiations between the Philippine Government and the groups represented by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines and designated the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) as a terrorist organization. These, along with the extension of Martial Law, are ingredients for exacerbated armed conflicts in Mindanao.

With the peace process abandoned and with majority of the CPP-NPA’s forces said to be in Mindanao, we can only expect more wars that tragically would See NO, page 11

Significance of Social Interactions to Education

By Ian Kim J. Lorenzana Teacher I MOGCHS

Social interactions is very substantial in the field of education. Its importance is not only for the students, parents, teachers, and school officials but equally in the whole organization. The student’s social interactions with others are important for their personal development.

Through social interactions students begin to establish a sense of self-confidence and enjoy being similar to others or learn what other students expect from them.

When the students are playing with the classmates and other students, he learn right social behaviors, like sharing, loving, caring,

cooperating, and respecting playmates, elders, and property of others. In addition, while the students are interacting with their peers, the student learn communication, cognitive, and motor skills.

Students who learn the suitable social skills often have a higher self-esteem and show a greater willingness to interact with the environment as they grow. They performed well in different school activities and achieved higher honors compared to those students who are lack of social interactions at school.

Social interactions not only enhance personal development in the early years, but maybe also in the future of the student. The ability to

interact with others is a skill that is required throughout his life and very helpful for his future educational opportunities.

On the parents’ side, these proper social behaviors acquired by their children will bring bigger advantages in nurturing their children to become responsible, loving, and caring children to them.

These positive traits and attitudes will also bring comfort and joy to the teachers at school. Students whose character was developed through good social interactions among others were scientifically proven to be participative in the different school activities. They work as leaders with compassion

and understanding to their peers or classmates. They bring honors and fame to theirs parents, teachers, and school through cocurricular activities inside and outside the school.

Another important value of social interactions on the part of the schools is the public private partnership program (PPP) of the Department of Education.

In the recent years, we witnessed the expansion and broadening of private sectors role in financing some of the education services in the Philippines. The pooling and managing of resources as well the mobilization of competencies and commitments by business and civil society as partners of Department of Education in improving the quality of education was made possible because of the social interactions among Department of Education and other school officials to the business sectors and other civic societies. The public private partnership plays an important role in improving the quality of education which is of great help to the teachers, parents, students, and school system.

The Effectiveness of Using Modern Technology in Classroom Instruction

By Mary Ann Bustamante Manla

Before this high technology existed, people were taught through traditional method of teaching. In other words, it was “teachercentered.” The teacher controls everything that is being done in the classroom.

However, when the technology started to make some major improvements in our lives and since majority of the students are exposed to this, the method of teaching also had to change.

Some did not approve to this major change, but when DepEd took its steps and started to incorporate technology in classroom instruction, teachers and administrators noticed a positive response from the students. Students were noticed to be eager to learn more.

The interest of the students were finally awakened and is evident even up to now for high technology continues e v o l v e . Te c h n o l o g y actually helped both teachers and students.

The things that really took time to be done in the past can be done in just a minute.

A lot of time can really be saved in using one. However, teachers also have to monitor the usage of this technology for too much use of it can also be detrimental to one’s learning. Ever ything should b e done and used in moderation.

Therefore, the use of technology is really a plus to our lives and there’s nothing more we can do but embrace this change, since there’s nothing constant except change, right?

Understanding of Culture and improve on cultural literacy

By Helen A. Berbesada Teacher I MOGCHS

Developing the skill in the understanding of culture is important in teaching. Teachers must also help students improve students on cultural literacy. Even though I am exposed to people of different beliefs and practices.

I still need to know more of others because in this way I will understand my students who have different beliefs and values. There is a need to have some way of recognizing my students in my class. In my class, I have students who are diverse in many ways. I recognize each of them as my student and everybody must be taken cared of with equal

footing as a learner in my class. My biggest challenge is that some students are undesirable, I am trying my best to be fair in dealing with them. When there understanding of culture in the classroom and in the society, then there is peace and harmony and learning will come in because it is accessible and available.

It is important that we also teach and encourage our learners know their classmates’ background, beliefs and practices so they will understand their values and priorities in life. The student’s misbehaviour which are not acceptable in our norms must be corrected by the teacher so they will be good citizens.

She also advised schools with scheduled Christmas parties during Dec. 21 to Dec. 23 to exercise prudence in their planned activitiesfor the safety of their students and personnel.

Duterte-Carpio has encouraged private companies to prepare a plan for their respective employees.

“Everyone is encouraged to stay home and postpone outdoor activities,” she said, urging residents in flood and landslide-prone areas to be on the alert and prepare for preemptive evacuation.

The city will deploy buses and trucks for those who will be possibly stranded if flooding occurs.

Meanwhile, Davao City through Central 911, the provincial governments of Davao Oriental, Davao del Norte, and Compostela Valley have activated their Incident Command System (ICS).

Biblical reflection

Today is a miracle already for you to celebrate The Gospel of Jesus Christ (December 21, 2017-Thursday) Mark 8:11-13”The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him. Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say

Vinta... from page 9

said volunteer groups and all resources are on standby while the Philippine Army, Philippine National Police,

to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.

There are many times that we have the same mentality with the Pharisees because we ask God every day for more evidences that he is alive. You never

understood that the day you have today is a miracle already for you to celebrate.On the other side, faith is a vital element for our salvation. No faith means denial of God. Hebrews 11:1”Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. In my case,

I am always praying to God to increase my faith because there are times that it is hard to believe his existence in my life. I reached to the point of doubtfulness that’s why I asked him to intervene in my mind. Luke 17:5”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith! Pray to God for

Philippine Coast Guard, and other rescue teams are already on alert status.

She said the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has alerted the barangays for their prepara-

tion.

Residents have been encouraged to prepare the “Go Bag” or survival kit consisting of basic necessities such as food and water good for at least three days.

Dayanghirang, she said had requested additional 20,000 food packs from the Social Welfare Department to augment the province’s supply.

Dayanghirang also relied on the judgment of the barangay leaders who are directly on the ground. He called on barangay leaders to ensure that evacuation

centers are safe and suitable for evacuation.

Dayanghirang ordered the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (PDRRM) office to closely coordinate with their counterparts at the municipal level and their local chief executives for the smooth flow of response and operation.

Davao City and the Davao provinces especially Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley are no longer taking chances as these were the areas hard hit by Typhoon Pablo in 2012. (PNA)

“People now resort to synthetic medicines right away. Even if they are cashless, they do it,” she noted She said people’s knowledge of natural remedies can help their families survive as they can just pick it from their yard whenever they need it.

Ayoc, 74, has been designated this year to represent the non-government organizations in the survival committee of the CCWC. She added that they needed support to gather materials to produce herbal products for demonstration purposes and family use.

“The herbs can be made available in the front yard if people learn to plant it,” she said.

But Ayoc said she decided not to make a business out of her knowledge and products.

“We learned from our elders that being a herbalist in the community is a gift.

If you sell it, you may not be effective anymore,” she explained.

But she admitted that they would accept donations from people who return and thank them for benefiting from her herbal products.

She said she needed support because the craft has become less attractive among women, who are enticed to rely right away on drug stores and medical doctors.

She admitted, too, that doctors are also important but that it is good to know herbal options for ailments that can be cured with home remedies.

On criticisms that herbal plants used as medicines might be dangerous, she said they only produce ointments for external use.

She denied they are trying to promote alterations to medicine.

“We just want to make people understand that nature has provided for remedies to our ailments.

Sometimes, we just turn our back on them,” she clarified.

She said if a government agency can support them, they are ready to organize the women to pursue this effort.

changes in temperature.

Children and adults may become susceptible to cough, colds, and fever,” he said, suggesting the use of jackets and other thick clothing.

To prevent those with pre-existing conditions from ending up in hospitals, it is important to be “kind to one’s heart” by eating moderately and only nutritious food, Lee Suy said.

“Drink plenty of liquids -- water and fruit juices -- to facilitate excretion,” he said.

As much as possible, he said, shun crowded spaces where communicable illnesses could be easily passed from one person to another.

“Airy and well-ventilated areas are essential to healthy living,” Lee Suy said. (PNA)

Sports... from page 1

exercise is essential for healthy living.”

He also pointed out the importance for the students to hone their athletic abilities to become gracious players and victors in sports.

XACS features a basketball court with 2 sub-courts for practices, retractable bleachers (2,000+ seats), four badminton courts, semi-Olympic-size swimming pool with shower area and locker rooms, track and field oval (8 lanes), regulation-size football field, and parking spaces for over 200 vehicles, among others.

According to Yap, the facility stands as a testament to accomplish the Jesuit educational principles of cura personalis and mens sana in corpore sano.

For the person’s mind and body “Cura personalis, which means “care for the whole person,” is a key Ignatian value in Jesuit education,” Yap said.

The students are taught with the principle as part of the university’s formation

Friday, December 22, 2017 programs that extend to all educational areas, including sports.

In relation to their health and physical education, Yap emphasized the significance of adhering to mens sana in corpore sano which translates to “a sound mind in a sound body.”

“Jesuit education includes a well-developed program of sports and physical education,” Yap stated, quoting The Characteristics of Jesuit Education’s 31st paragraph.

“In addition to strengthening the body, sports programs help [young] men and women to learn to accept success and failure graciously, and to become aware of the need to cooperate with others using the best qualities of each individual to contribute to the greater advantage of the whole group.”

A venue for education The commemoration plaque, situated at its entrance, states that the Centre is “dedicated to all students who enter the halls of Xavier Ateneo” who are aspiring to fulfill these Jesuit principles.

Kristina Sancebutche, Xavier Ateneo Physical Education teacher for Grades 7 and 9, has testified that this will greatly help the students in their PE classes.

“There are planned activities for them,” she shared.

“If there are sports activities that require venues that are yet to be available on our campus, we can hold them here.”

For Sancebutche, distance is not a problem since the grade school campus in Pueblo de Oro is located directly beside the Sports Centre.

“The facilities and equipment that we need are available here,” she added. “But we have to strategize everything, and utilizing the Sports Centre is part of our current plans.”

She enumerated volleyball and table tennis as sports presently being taught to her students.

“We will be adding swimming in our curriculum,” she shared, eyeing the swimming pool in the exterior area of the XACS during the opening.

Excellent education, as one of the primary thrusts of Xavier Ateneo since the university was established 84 years ago, extends beyond classes.

For the tertiary level’s Central Student Government, the Sports Centre stands as “colossal option” for athletic events.

“We are looking forward to holding some events in the university’s annual Intramural games here,” incumbent CSG president Ian Caezar Abadies said.

The Xavier Ateneo Intramurals is organized by CSG each year.

“Swimming has often been held at the Pelaez Sports Center, but with the Xavier Ateneo Sports Centre now open and accessible, we are hoping to use it as our venue,” he said.

Active cooperation The construction of XACS, from planning to completion, took more than three years and was made possible with the trust and active cooperation of various organizations and companies that have partnered with Xavier Ateneo.

“It involved a significant number of consultations,” XU vice-president for basic education Dr Dulce Dawang recounted.

Also engraved on the ceremonial plaque were Xavier Ateneo’s partner companies that aided the university to realize and fulfill this dream facility.

With the university’s gratitude, Dawang expressed: “It is our ardent hope that we will be using the Sports Centre well to

make sure that these will last for a long time.”

A gift from God The blessing and opening program were graced by the presence of CDO City Mayor Oscar Moreno and Archbishop Antonio J Ledesma SJ DD. It was also attended by guests from the Xavier Ateneo community — students, faculty from all levels, staff, administrators (led

by VP for administration Edison B Sasoy), alumni, and a few members of the XU Board of Trustees.

Yap also emphasized the event as a celebration of thanksgiving in time for this year’s Christmas.

“Above of all, today is a day to give thanks to the Lord for this blessing that is the Xavier Ateneo Sports Centre. … Our hearts are filled with gratitude to the Lord for this beautiful Christmas gift that He gives to the Xavier Ateneo community,” Yap said.

“When God gives us a gift, we can only respond by cherishing the gift, taking delight in it, taking care of the gift, sharing it with others, and using the gift according to the purposes of the Giver, which can only be for cura personalis, promoting mens sana in corpore sano,” he added.

Civilian voices from Lanao del Sur pointed out that a continuing state of Martial Law is unnecessary after the “liberation” of Marawi City had been declared by no less than the President.
