Death, capture, surrender, cripples NPA in NorMin

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City: The death, capture and surrender of top rebel leaders crippled the New People’s Army (NPA) in Northern Mindanao (NorMin), a top military commander said Tuesday.

Maj. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr., Commander of the army’s 4ID here, said that the capture of top NPA leaders, especially the death of Jorge Madlos, the NPA’s top national commander, have demoralized

the CPA-NPA movement in the region.

A total of 47 CTG leaders and members have surrendered to the different units under the 4ID with 17 high-powered and lowpowered firearms seized, Brawner said.

On November 27, 2022, a top NPA commander identified as Gelan Ybanez alias Weng, the Commanding Officer (CO) of Sandatahang Yunit Pamproganda 16B (SYP16B), Guerilla Front 16 (GF16) of the North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee

(NEMRC), was captured.

Earlier, on Nov. 13, 2022 the former member of the armed propaganda unit of Guerilla Front SubRegional Committee (SRC) Westland, North Eastern Mindanao identified as Jonel B. Pasco alias Joel/ Gong-gong, surrendered to the military.

“There has been a ruckus within the communist terrorist group (CTG) in our area of responsibility as the NPA rebels are on the run not knowing where to go in a bid to evade government troops” Brawner

said.

Since Brawner took command of the 4ID in July 5, 2021, a total of 128 NPAs surrendered, 71 NPA rebels captured or killed during the 88 governmentinitiated encounters.

He said that the neutralization of the CTG leaders and members was the result of the government’s commitment in implementing various projects and program designed to alleviate the lives of the people – now actively helping in tracking down the enemies of the state.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar on Monday is confident that with more vaccines coming in the country and with the initiated Vaccination Drive starting today, the Philippines is on its road to recovery from the ill-effects of the pandemic.

Secretary Andanar joined the ceremonial launching of the 3-day Bakunahan Bayanihan National Vaccination Drive at the compound of

the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro. During his speech, Secretary Andanar praised the unrelenting efforts of frontliners on facing the COVID-19 pandemic. The activity is part of the commemoration of Bonifacio Day and an initiative to inspire volunteerism among Filipinos to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

“Indeed, they have taken their duty and obligation seriously and fervently served

Administrative behavior, values and resilience

By SHARON Z. GALAY Administrative Aide VI Division of Ozamiz City

CURRENTLY, the world is dealing with the outbreak of COVID-19, a deadly pandemic that is negatively influencing our social and business world.

Despite the negative effects of this pandemic, there is much to learn about how professionals and organizations can effectively weather the storm during a crisis such as this.

Organizational resilience is the ability of an organization to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden disruptions in order to survive and prosper.

Research on organizational resilience has focused on behaviors that are either defensive or progressive. When organizations adopt defensive

strategies, they are attempting to stop negative events from occurring. Contrastingly, organizations that are progressive in their strategies try to make positive events occur through their actions.

There has been debate on which types of strategies work best. Although still contentious, a more adaptive approach has emerged from this debate through a focus on adaptive innovation. Several scholars and practitioners propose that organizational resilience occurs when organizations create, invent and discover unknown markets.

Organizations can be competitive in the marketplace through being both progressive and flexible.

Moreno: Be Bonifacio in our humble, simple way CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- ”The war still rages, now is the time, let us all be Andres Bonifacio in our small, humble and simple way, magtinabangay kita ug magkahiusa (let us help one another and be united).”

Urging Kagay-anons to brace and protect freedom, especially in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, City Mayor Oscar Moreno said such is the best way to show appreciation to the heroes such as Andres Bonifacio who sacrificed their lives so everybody can be safe

during the 158th Bonifacio Day celebration at El Pueblo A Sus Heroes, Plaza Divisoria, November 30.

The celebration, Moreno said, is a way to remind Filipinos what propelled Bonifacio to do what they did and hopefully, “we can also do our share for our country, for our province, for our city, for our town, for our barangay no matter how small it is.”

Along with the power to change the society, Moreno Anchored on the theme, “Bonifacio 2021: Pagbubuklod para sa Kaligtasan at Kalusualso cited the changes that gan ng Bayan,” the 158th Bonifacio Day is highlighted in Cagayan de Oro City with a will take place with the short program and wreath laying.

THERE is an ongoing campaign now by Caritas Philippines called “I Vote God”, “I Vote Good” and we add to that campaign now with “Let’s Vote Peace!” This is intrinsically related in the sense that Peace with God, with oneself, with others and with creation is one and interrelated. Since peace is integral, this too relates well with the theme for Mindanao Week of Peace: “Interfaith Unity Inspiring Health Protocols.” This calls for a responsive and responsible governance and leadership.

A God of Peace “For to us a child will be born, to us a son is given, and the government will rest on His shoulders. And His name will be called Wonderful counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Is. 9:6) This prophecy of Isaiah reflects well on our God of Peace.

He bestows us this gift of peace, Jesus, the prince of peace, his beloved Son.

VOTE FOR PEACE

Truly, at the heart of our faith lies the God of peace.

(Rom 15:33) This too is his perfect response to the cry of the poor. He listens to their pleas and anguish. (Ps 34) He desires peace for all far and wide. (Is. 57:19, Ps 85) Peace in this sense as in the greeting shalom, refers to the total wellbeing of the person. It can mean physical, social, psychoemotional, and the spiritual wellbeing of the person. It can refer to the need to feel safe and secure, free from danger and threats wherever we are. That is why when something deprives us of these, it disturbs us. The threat of covid virus for instance makes us wary, especially that some of our friends were really infected and others perished. Hence an interfaith unity following health protocols is highly appreciated. It brings peace.

Even a notice “beware of pickpocketers” in a place where we travel somehow disturbs our safety and makes one uncomfortable, rich and poor alike. It consoles us if those perpetrators of the crime are captured and penalized. One who shoplift for instance are penalized and at times jailed.

This gives peace too to the store owners and the customers as well. But what is astonishing however is our reaction to those who

stole from the coffins of our government. It seems that we are already anesthetized. Yes, people may have an adverse reaction in the beginning and yet later the news just fade away. We no longer bother to follow up what happens to those allegedly accused of corruption. Matud pa “ang kawat sa likod sama sa pickpocketing dali madakpan apan ang kawat sa atubang nga dinagko pa gayud tagsa ra ma sentensyahan.” This too should disturb us as we value the gift of peace.

This one should challenge us to have responsive and responsible governance. We Need to Vote Peace!

Peace with others and ourselves Peace is founded in the right relationships. A relationship is right when it is rooted in God’s peace, in God’s love. Peace is a fruit of justice and justice or right relationships spring from love, a love that nurtures others, nourishes our relationship with one another, respecting each one’s dignity and defending it. As St. John Paul II said, “the human person is the way for the church and society to walk.” This calls for conversion of ourselves.

True peacemaking can be a matter of policy only if it is first a matter of the heart.

Jesus shows this in his See VOTE, page 11

Kim’s Dream Climate Change & Gross Inequity

Insane Ideology called Corporate Globalization

RECENTLY some 200 world leaders attended the Conference of Parties (COP 26) alarmed by the contention of thousands of scientists that the earth is now facing the precipice with the doomsday clock set at one minute before midnight because of climate change. Indeed, the earth’s 6th extinction is now in the offing after its 5th extinction which happened some 33 million years ago because of asteroids hitting the earth.

This time, the extinction is man-made because of an insane ideology called corporate globalization. To have a clear grasp of this truism, let us revisit history.

Before, the cultures of the different Indigenous Peoples have given high regards to the oneness and sacredness of nature. An 1848 speech attributed to Chief Seattle of the Suquamish tribe captures this belief in the sacredness of all life forms: “How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If you do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy

shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. The sap which courses through the trees carried the memories of the red man. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know.

All things are connected like the blood which unites our family. All things are connected.”

The cultures of the Indigenous Peoples on such inter-connectedness, oneness and sacredness have been replaced by the egoic mindset of the homo sapiens that are giving high veneration to the profit-motive that have already captured the mindset of all governments, all institutions, all universities and even of religions amidst the morale collapse and religious apathy. Indeed, humanity has been buried by the mainstream media deeply in so much materialism and consumerism, sacrificing the people and the environment to the altar of greed and profit.

“The planet is just being viewed as private property and treating the world as a global supermarket where goods and services are produced with high ecological,

Orlan R. Ravanera

social and economic costs,” to quote a friend, Dr. Vandanna Shiva in her book, “Earth Democracy.”

Dr. Shiva, the worldrenowned environmentalist further said, “Corporate globalization is based on new enclosures and are based on violence. Instead of a culture of abundance, profit-driven globalization creates cultures of exclusion, dispossession, and scarcity. In fact, globalization’s transformation of all being and resources into commodities robs diver’s species and people of their rightful share of ecological, cultural, economic and political space. The “ownership” of the rich is based on the “dispossession of the poor – it is the common, public, resources of the poor which are privatized and the poor who are disowned economically politically and culturally.”

This truism is ver y glaring in the life of our Indigenous Peoples here in Mindanao. They were once the masters of the land that no one owned because private ownership is not in their language based on the See IDEOLOGY, page 11

Second sorghum model farm in Cabanglasan town promotes sorghum prod’n as alternative crop C AG AYA N DE ORO CITY, November 11 – Over a month after its pilot site was showcased, another sorghum model farm in Cabanglasan, Bukidnon held its Field Day in November 10, 2021, in barangay Paradise.

Cebu Pacific receives its first A330neo; becomes greenest airline in Asia On track to having all-Neo fleet by 2027

CEBU Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading airline, received its first Airbus A330neo (New Engine Option) on November 28, 2021, which paves the way for it to become the greenest airline in Asia.

The airline’s newest aircraft features 459 lightweight Recaro seats, ergonomically designed for comfort over long distances. This also allows more travelers to be carried in a single flight, resulting in the lowest carbon footprint per passenger, making CEB the greenest airline in Asia.

“Cebu Pacific’s first A330neo brings us closer to our target of having an all-Neo fleet by 2027, and shows our commitment to making air travel accessible, while ensuring environmental and social sustainability,” said Alex Reyes, Chief Strategy Officer at Cebu Pacific.

“We believe that growth and sustainability are not mutually exclusive and should in fact be inclusive if we want to work towards the greater good. This is why we will always choose the greener options – increased aircraft efficiency, reduced noise and carbon emissions, to ensure that more low fares will be available for everyJuan,” Reyes added.

With the A330neo’s latest technologies, this eco-plane uses 25% less fuel than previous generation aircraft – able to consume as little as 1.4 liters per seat per 100 kilometers, thus, burning less fuel and emitting less carbon.

“We thank and applaud Cebu Pacific for selecting our latest-technology A330neo as part of its fleet modernisation drive to fly the greenest aircraft for a sustainable future. The A330neo is the first aircraft in the world already certified to comply with ICAO’s CO2 emissions standards beyond 2028. The airline will benefit from the aircraft’s stepchange in performance and economics, while maintaining passenger comfort and lowest operating costs,” said Anand Stanley, President Airbus Asia-Pacific.

The outstanding efficiency of the A330neo also ensures compliance with the current and future sustainability requirements in terms of noise and emissions, providing passengers with the utmost comfort in one of the quietest planes developed. Thanks to the construction materials and engines chosen for this aircraft, the exterior noise footprint is reduced to nearly See RECEIVES, page 10

BSP urges rural banks to embrace technology to support financial inclusion

THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) encouraged rural banks (RBs) to use technology not only to maintain their competitiveness, but also to expand financial inclusion in the countryside.

As of end-June, there are 3,139 rural banks nationwide that serve MSMEs, agricultural, and other vulnerable sectors.

During the 64th Charter Anniversary symposium of the Rural Bankers Association of the Philippines, BSP Governor Benjamin E. Diokno encouraged RBs to increase participation in the National Retail Payment System (NRPS).

The NRPS envisions that every Filipino will have easy access to financial services, See URGES, page 10

Another oil price rollback set this week

By KRIS CRISMUNDO

MANILA – Oil firms will implement price rollback on petroleum products starting Tuesday morning.

In separate advisories, Caltex, Cleanfuel, Petro Gazz, Seaoil, and Shell said they will reduce gasoline prices by PHP1.10 per liter and PHP0.60 per liter on diesel products.

Caltex, Seaoil, and Shell will also cut kerosene prices

by PHP0.50 per liter.

This will be the fourth

week that industry players slash gasoline prices, and the fifth week of rollback for diesel and kerosene products.

The price rollback reflects movement in the global market, which experienced its worst day of trading for this year last Friday as US oil fell 13 percent.

Renewed concerns on demand were driven by the new coronavirus disease See SET, page 10

Lacson proposes various budget cuts to fund Education, Connectivity, Defense in 2022 IN the spirit of transparency, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson has made public his proposed institutional amendments to the 2022 budget bill, seeking to slash questionable appropriations and to ensure enough funding for priority programs, activities and projects as he has consistently done in previous years.

Lacson, who is

running for President under Partido Reporma, has served as a strict watchdog of the national budget in the Senate. This year, he proposed reducing funds for items such as farm-to-market roads and right-of-way payments to fund key programs on education, connectivity, anticybercrime and defense needs for the coming year.

The Importance of Being Organized

By CHRISTINE M. RIGODON, PDO-I

One of the key attributes of being productive is making sure you are organized in everything you do. Being organized saves you the time and resources to keep track of the work you’ve done and also saves your colleagues a lot of trouble should they need to know something from you.

Having good organizational skills makes it easier to collaborate and work with other people -whether they are someone you work with or people outside of your organization. In addition, you will be more efficient and you will have more time to focus on more important tasks.

As someone whose job greatly involves documentation, keeping everything in order does the trick. As we are only humans, we won’t be able to remember nor retain facts and important information that we’ve learned

or known last week. Now, imagine having to remember every single file or receipt from months ago when your boss asks you about work that needs to be submitted by the end of the week. If you don’t know where exactly to find it, then you better count on your lucky stars to shine on you.

You need to know where exactly you stand and assess yourself on how organized you are. Then you can start there. You can start by making a to-do list in your daily task or keeping a planner.

Then, categorize your files and documents based on what’s being implemented in your company.

But remember, there is no need to pressure yourself.

Being organized does not happen overnight. Just keep being consistent and later on you’ll be able to accomplish more in the same amount of time.

Sen. Panfilo Lacson. (Screen

PRIB)

In the list of institutional amendments submitted to the Senate Finance Committee under Sen. Juan Edgardo Angara, Lacson proposed slashes to the appropriations of:

• Department of Agriculture - a P1.97-billion decrease in the proposed appropriations for farm-to-market roads, saying that implementation should be transferred to local

government units under the Mandanas ruling.

• Department of Environment and Natural Resources - a P2-billion reduction for the National Greening Program

from P3.68 billion to P1.68 billion due to adverse COA performance audit in 2019.

• Department of Public Works and Highways - P1billion deduction in Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses for the routine maintenance of national roads; plus over P4B in various projects.

Lacson and his running mate, vice presidential candidate Senate President Tito Sotto plan to focus on Budget Reform Advocacy for Village Empowerment (BRAVE) when they win the top national posts in 2022.

MESSAGE OF PRESIDENTIAL COMMUNICATIONS SECRETARY MARTIN ANDANAR ON THE COMMEMORATION OF BONIFACIO DAY We are one with the whole Filipino nation in commemorating the 158th anniversary of the birth of Gat Andres Bonifacio.

Gat Andres Bonifacio’s profound courage and fervor in pursuit of our country’s independence and emancipation from its colonizers have truly and greatly contributed to the freedoms we are relishing today.

Let us all pay tribute to the Father of Philippine Revolution by emulating his patriotism, bravery, and sense of camaraderie, that helped awaken in our forefathers’ the desire for liberation and self-determination.

May it also ignite in our hearts the collective will to respond to societal ills and challenges, such as poverty, insurgency, terrorism, corruption, illegal drugs, and the COVID-19 pandemic for our nation’s progress and development.

May this desire propel our nation towards justice, prosperity, a comfortable life for all Filipinos, and our recovery as one nation.

We wish everyone a meaningful celebration of Bonifacio Day!

Circularity key to addressing waste pollution in PH - Globe WITH the increasing volume of waste being generated and leaked into water sources and the environment, it has become necessary for companies to transition into a more sustainable model where products and processes, especially for plastics, are designed for circularity rather than linear production.

According to a recent World Bank study, the Philippines generates a staggering 2.7 million tons of plastic waste yearly, an estimated 20 percent of which ends up in the ocean. This is primarily due to unsustainable production, consumption and insufficient solid waste management infrastructure. Much of our existing environmental concerns today are attributed to the linear economy, which follows the take-make-dispose scheme.

It is a resource intensive approach and assumes an infinite availability of raw materials from the environment.

“Circular economy: Take, Make, Use, Repeat!” was the topic of the latest Liveable Cities Lab webinar spearheaded by the Liveable Cities Challenge Philippines and the League of Cities of the Philippines, in partnership with Globe. The program aims to equip cities with knowledge and insights for designing better solutions for their communities.

Globe is among the companies that collaborate with Green Antz to properly dispose and process single-use plastic waste within its office premises. Clean and dry plastics are shredded and brought

to the Green Antz facility in Arca South, Taguig, for further processing and conversion to eco-bricks and eco pavers.

The company also avoids the usage of single-use plastic in its headquarters.

“Circularity is in the heart of UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 12, which is about reducing waste through reduction, recycling, and reuse. It also talks about sound waste management through the lifecycle. In Globe, we have embarked on an employee education campaign called WasSUP (‘Wag Sa Single-Use Plastic) that advocates a zerowaste lifestyle and tackles the impacts of single-use plastics on the environment,” said Miguel Bermundo, Globe Senior Manager for Sustainability Integration.

Adopting a circular model will enable waste minimization at scale. This process starts with design, production, and distribution until the product reaches the user. It also includes collection for recycling after use and re-insertion of the product into the system as a raw material. The main focus of this model is to maintain the added value of a material while eliminating waste as best as possible.

Marianne Bigum, Circular Economy and Plastics Specialist Consultant of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), pointed out the need to go beyond cleanup to stop plastics from entering the environment.

She noted the importance of product design and policies that promote the reuse of

Transitioning from F2F to Online Learning: A Reflection

By FERDINAND A. CABEGUIN Jasaan National Senior High School

Change from the usual faceto-face learning can be a challenging task especially if you have done it for a long time. But in education, it will never too late to learn new things when transitioning from the known to the unknown territory of learning methodologies, practices, and approaches. It demands commitment at the personal and institutional levels.

My memory brings me back to my students in Philosophy of the Human Person class with Senior High School students. I missed the face-to-face interaction since it provided a “safe” environment of discussions, debates, role plays and more.

Seeing faces lit-up for “Eureka” moments had enriched the teaching learning process and nourished my soul as well.

But I guess things will be different and exciting as I embrace the “new normal”. I must learn new skill sets that are essential for my 21st century learners to be engaged, and successful in their learning. This means using the technology as tools and making sure that I designed learning tasks that will bring “life” and excitement to every individual learner. The use of blended learning, however, will be the most appropriate method of achieving this goal since I believe it will challenge my students, they will collaborate, make them think “out-of-thebox”, problem solves, be creative and resilient. Also, using the Learning Management System is one of the tools by which I can be effective and efficient with my mission in teaching online during this most difficult time of our existence. Like all other tools, the strength lies on the one using it. I would like to be the early adaptor of this tool by enrolling myself and learn and become proficient with it as I journey and be the guide of my students’ learning. But of course, I must be bold in trying the blended learning approach. I need the support of my colleagues and school administrators so that together we can collaborate, try things out, learn and be successful as a team.

I know things will be difficult before it becomes better. But I am hopeful. With the support of various stakeholders most especially the teachers, school administrators and parents, I know blended learning will be the best option for my learn-

ers to help them navigate the complex world aggravated by the global health crisis.

Blended/Hybrid Learning is the Way Forward The pandemic caused by COVID-19 will not be the last game changer in the way how we see the world. Its effect will obviously influence every aspect of our existence (social, political, personal, economic, health, education etc.). Much more on how we will educate the 21st century learners. However, blended and/or hybrid learning brings promise that learning will continue even during a pandemic.

Blended learning is one of the aspects that made up hybrid learning. This approach provides more personalized students learning experience using technology. It brings more control on what contents, how, and when the students learn it using this strategy. The role of the teacher is to make it sure that sound pedagogical approaches are utilized to ensure learning and student success. On the other hand, hybrid learning encompasses a much broader idea on how teaching and learning will proceed considering health, safety, and well-being of our learners. There is still face to face interactions with limited time but of high quality.

Relationships are forged among student peers, teachers, and administrators during this event.

Teaching tools like the Learning Management Systems are still utilized to close learning gaps and support advance learners.

However, flexible schedules complete how hybrid learning looks like. Being flexible and creative with the time, staffing and the use of resources so that institutional objectives and student learning will be achieved. This is difficult during this time but realistic since traditional school day schedule will never be the norm in the future. Hybrid learning will surely take root and thrive in our educational system. It will help learners through the guidance of competent and passionate teachers.

For me, I know I still have a lot of new things to learn about hybrid teaching and learning and I am excited of trying them.

Being pro-active will surely bring me closer to my goal as a lifelong learner. I am sure that the things I learned will not be in vain.

SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT: A SHIFT TO ENHANCE EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS By: ROGELIO N. MEJARES JR

In an effort to enhance the teaching and learning situation, several nations throughout the world have moved to delegate more authority and resources to schools in recent years. In the Philippines, the Department of Education had its full-swing implementation of this type of school-based management (SBM) reform, which is considered to enhance educational standards by shifting decision-making further to the schools and the local communities thereby, increasing accountability between schools and the parents for the benefit of the learners.

Decentralized management, shared decision making, school empowerment, shared governance, decentralized authority, school-site autonomy, school-based decision making, school-site control, responsible autonomy, the autonomous school concept, administrative decentralization, and schoolbased governance are some of the terms used by educational writers to describe the schoolbased management concept.

SBM is an approach for improving education that involves moving significant decision-making powers from the Central office to local schools. SBM gives administrators, teachers, students, and parents more authority over the educational process by putting them in charge of financial, staff, and curricular choices. In this way, the system can create more effective learning environments for children by involving teachers, parents, and other community members in these critical decisions and strategic choices.

But how do schools get benefits from the implementation of SBM? Administrative Autonomy.

Although schools have limited autonomy in making choices about their operations that solely depend upon the policies instituted by the higher authorities, schools now establish and implement their improvement plans insofar as their authority and resources permit. The principal of each school creates a school improvement plan (SIP) with the support and feedback of

teachers and the community.

Together, the school and the stakeholders assess the school’s performance and identify areas to improve.

Financial Independence.

DepEd provides funds to support the school’s SIP, allotted based on student enrollment and used to pay maintenance and other operational costs.

This money can be used for a variety of recurring expenses (such as utility bills and minor repairs). Schools benefit from school-based management because it provides for more realistic allocation and expenditure because it allows for more hands-on and direct methods in the school’s spendings.

Participation. Successful school-based administration necessitates a solid support role for parents and local community members in school decision-making and supervision. Parent-teacher organizations (PTAs) are a way for parents to help improve their children’s schools. Another is the School Governing Council (SGC), a platform where parents, students, teachers, and other stakeholders may engage in making choices about school reform. It will also be required to take part in the monitoring of the program’s implementation.

Many educational leaders agree that a school-based management approach that puts real responsibility in the hands of local schools and communities and ensures that they have the authority to exercise that authority effectively has enormous promise for increasing school leadership, processes, and results. It is based on the premise that the more control a school has over the facets of its organization that influence its performance success and productivity, the more likely it is to demonstrate the qualities that have been found to promote effective and efficient performance. Although there are also limitations of SBM, such as lack of participation among stakeholders and lack of training of school leaders, the benefits that center on enhancing educational standards outweigh them.

other companies keep their waste away from landfills,” said Rommel Benig, Green Antz President and CEO. Likewise, Roberto Batungbacal, Philippine Country Director of Dow Chemical, said that on top of innovations and investments in recycling, people must be educated about the plastic waste situation.

He said Dow has entered into a partnership to develop a digital module for plastic sustainability education. Its objective is to train the youth to understand the issues of plastic sustainability, how to mitigate it, and be part of the solution.

“This module will be developed in the Philippines. There are a lot of solutions globally, but we need to understand the solutions that are right for us,” he said.

Bigum stressed the necessity of determining the sources of local plastic pollution, identifying the stakeholders to collaborate with to address the issue, and prioritizing actions.

The goals are to reduce the unnecessary use of plastic and disposable items and support the local transition to a circular economy.

She also recommended supporting innovations and investments in the reuse and recycling of plastics to protect the environment and generate economic savings.

“Whenever we invest in reuse and recycling, we create less waste. That means less waste for solid waste management. And that is very important in societies where you want to be spending tax money on a lot of better things. If we can design out the waste, we can use that money for something else,” she said.

As a purpose-driven company, Globe supports the 10 UN Global Compact principles and contributes to 10 UN Sustainable Development Goals including UN SDG No. 12 which calls for sustainable consumption and production.

PRIMALS

By ALLAN PAUL V. PABELLAN

IN consonance with DepEds goal to keep up with the standards of the K-12 Basic Education curriculum through more improved pedagogical approaches, teachers must attend the training on Pedagogical Retooling in Mathematics, Language and Science (PRIMALS).

The activity aims to enhance the teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical skills and atititude in the concerned learning areas, improve their ability in assessing learners’ various literacy skills and sustain their commitment in mentoring and sharing teaching practices and experiences through cost-effective professional development system for teachers to improve instruction and learning outcomes.

The ASEAN education program brings a wide range of

human capacity building intervention that equips human resources particularly the youth with cutting edge technical knowledge and skills interventions that allowed them to be competitive actors for ASEAN integration and socio-economic development.

Differentiated instructions and individualized instructions are necessary to effect learning precisely because there is no single universal approach that suits all situations. Different strategies used in different combinations with different groupings of students will improve learning outcomes.

Some strategies are better suited to teaching certain skills and fields of knowledge than others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles and abilities.

Showing Resilience amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

By CHRISTINE M. RIGODON, PDO-I

While battling COVID-19, panic buying has made its way through every city and every family in our country. While frontliners bravely made their way and faced the pandemic, some of us stayed in the back end and the others stayed on the sidelines and offered what we could in these trying times.

Even now, the public demand outweighs the supply in the markets.

Like most jobs, being a supply officer in a government department certainly had upped the ante and has proven challenging in this pandemic. Everyone had to stay indoors while trying to figure out what was happening and what was about to come. Then soon enough, we were working around the clock – assessing and trying to find a workaround and countermeasures with the challenges we are facing.

In the process of adapting to the new normal, making

sure that we had enough supplies and that it would reach the proper recipients on time was harder than it seems.

Everyone was working from home, making it more difficult to communicate with colleagues who didn’t have the proper computer set up or had an unstable internet connection. Even delivering these supplies took longer than usual.

But, we are resilient.

We found a way to cope up and fight back. We never let the fear of the pandemic get the best of us. It’s the determination in us that brought us to this state. A new hope is that we will be able to once again go out and do our jobs or spend the holidays without the fear of COVID-19 condemning us and our loved ones. Moving forward, no matter what happens, we must never forget the resilience and courage we’ve shown in this pandemic.

ministry by healing the sick, the mute, letting the lame walk, giving food to the multitude, preaching forgiveness and compassion to the sinners signifying the fullness of life and proclaiming God’s reign in our midst. In Luke 4:16-24, Jesus summarizes his mission proclaiming the gospel of truth responding to the cries of the poor being the prince of peace.

We learn from him that the way for truth is the way for peace.

In this manner, we are called to establish the “Truth farms” against the “Troll farms” that flooded the social media to build peace. We vote for God; we vote for Truth and we Vote for peace.

We know very well the challenges in our society until today.

There are various faces of unpeace in our midst marked by violence, conflicts, divisions, injustices, underdevelopment and poverty.

We are digitized already with so many gadgets, we are tech-savvy, especially our young people, but the problems of poverty are still glaring. The pandemic I believe worsens our poor condition with our foreign debt amounting to trillions of pesos already. Our quality of life does not match with the advance of technology we are going through. We long for peace, which is sustainable and rooted in authentic development. As St. Paul VI said, “development is the new name for peace in Populorum Progressio.” We need leaders that will lead us in this direction.

Peace with Creation We belong to the same web of life and responding to the cry of the poor and of the earth is inseparable. We must do both.

As we long for total healing amidst this pandemic we too long for the healing of our planet which is in a climate emergency. We are interconnected in this ecosystem hence what we have done to our environment affects us all.

There are only very few remaining forests covers now in Mindanao which need to be attended to. The call to care for our common home must be an urgent demand for all of us. Certainly, our Indigenous brethren living in the last frontiers of the forest are primarily affected with the destruction we continue to inflict in their areas. Due to the ongoing armed conflicts for instance, our environment and the IPs are greatly affected. We deplore the use of bombs which cannot just kill human lives but kill the remaining forest as well.

How much is the cost per bomb thrown into this area? If that amount should have been channeled to the poverty alleviation of our poor people, improve the infrastructure and services among our IP communities that might bring peace and not more hostilities and poverty. The care for our common home needs leadership who are passionate, dedicated and strong-willed hence we must Vote for this kind of leader. A Vote for Ecology is a Vote for Peace!

Be Peacemakers “There is no peace because there is no peacemaker” an advocate for peace remarked. This is a call and a challenge for all of us. We can respond to this first, in the forthcoming election. We must Vote for Peace, we need to elect leaders who are responsive to the call of building sustainable peace in our land. Mindanao is bleeding for peace, our people and the environment. I believe this too reflects the whole country.

We should choose leaders who will bridge these warring parties in our land by leading them to the negotiating table addressing the root causes of all these.

A certain peasant wrote to St. Oscar Romero of El Salvador, “we are tired of weapons, bullets and wars, our hunger is for justice, for food, for good health, for education, and for fair development.”

Just like them we too need all that will bring us real peace in our land rooted in both social and ecological justice. We cannot remain uncommitted in this cause. We need to get involved, first by Voting for Peace, electing our Future by electing responsible

and responsive leaders who are sensitive to the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth.

Finally let us heed the story told by a Lutheran pastor during World War II, “when the Nazis came to get the communists, I was silent; when they came to get the socialist, I was silent; when they came to get the Catholics, I was silent; when they came to get me, there was no one left to speak.”

My dear friends this coming election is another opportunity for us to speak; so let our voices be heard, let us Vote for Peace!

Let us Vote for God for peace is a fruit of Godliness!!

strong belief that no one can own land which outlast him.

They asked, “How can you own something that will outlast you?

You cannot own the land; the land will own you.” For thousands of years, they had lived abundantly in a land oozing with ecological resources in the spirit of sharing and service to one another.

Through colonialization, we have lost our ecological wealth. After foreign colonizers, new colonizers came in the form of corporate globalization brining their version of a flawed lifestyle that is founded on the material pursuit of instant wealth and power, and everything was not the same again – forever.

The Indigenous Peoples wokeup to a new kind of reality of private ownership. Then suddenly, land titles came about, vesting land ownership io individuals or corporations where haciendas and big plantations sprouted. There are now more than 200,000 hectares of vast plantations in Mindanao planted with high value crops massively using toxic chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides to satisfy the consumerist lifestyle of the people in advanced counties while we cannot even satisfy people’s basic staples such as rice and milk. It is shocking to know how oppressed the Indigenous People are. The Ancestral domain has been illegally grabbed and transformed info massive plantations or ranches in gross violations of their rights.

When they would countervail against these aggressions, they are being erased from the face of the earth. In fact, some 63 IP leaders have been killed in the last five years including a pregnant woman and a five-year old boy. Instilling fear is a means of grabbing the IP lands.

That’s how insane and greedy corporate globalization is. Any transformation through elections?

Dr. Shiva’s analysis is that” Corporate globalization undermines and subverts national democratic processes.” No matter who is elected in a business-managed electoral system where the highlyfinanced candidate almost always wins, the winner prioritizes the interest of these capitalists and not the welfare of the people or regain back ecological integrity.

Indeed, corporate globalization is in effect the death of economic democracy. It gives rise to corporate control and economic oligarchical dictatorship.

Dr. Shiva concluded, “When economic dictatorship is grafted onto representative, electoral democracy, a toxic growth of religious fundamentalism and right- wing extremism is the result.

Thus, corporate globalization leads not just to the death of democracy,

“Every year we lost P1 trillion because of this hard-earned tax money from ordinary citizens were siphoned by politicians who enrich themselves. If we could put them in jail and recover at least P500 billion every year, there would be no more poor Filipinos within my six-year presidency,” he assured the crowd in Bayugan City.

during this pandemic, and all of us who have benefited from it have our own responsibility to ensure that we help protect each other in our own way. A way to make a sizable contribution to this collective effort is by participating in our national COVID-19 vaccination program. ,” he said.

The said activity is a nationwide simultaneous event which aims to administer 9 million jabs across the country and scale up the vaccination output of local government units from November 29 to December 1, 2021.

According to data from DOH10, 36 percent of Northern Mindanao’s 3.5 million vaccine eligible population are now fully immunized, while 63 percent of the population have already received their first dose.

Secretary Andanar noted that through this initiative, the Duterte Administration has demonstrated its firm commitment to bring public service, especially the COVID-19 vaccines closer to all Filipinos.

“The Duterte administration has successfully made vaccinations available and closer to each one of us, and all of us should take that responsibility not only for our own safety, but also that of our loved ones, neighbors, and the frontliners, who made these initiatives possible,” said.

“With our national vaccination program, we have seen its positive impacts not only in saving lives, such as experiencing lower COVID-19 positivity rate recently, but also restarting our economy, such as seeing at least 7% in GDP growth for the 3rd quarter of this year, and all other aspects of our nation that have greatly been impacted by this virus,” he added.

Present during the event to show the support of their respective offices were Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno, Department of Health (DOH-10) Regional Director Jose Llacuna, Jr, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA-10) Regional Director Mylah Faye Cariño, Office of the Civil Defense (OCD-10) Regional Director Antonio Sugarol, and Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro representative Rev. Coke Daryl Prieto.

The activity is pursuant to Proclamation No. 1253, which formally declared November 29 to December 1 this year as “Bayanihan, Bakunahan” National Covid-19 Vaccination Days.

All government agencies under the executive branch are encouraged to actively participate and provide necessary support and assistance to the DOH and the DILG. The local government units are also mandated to mobilize their resources, stakeholders, health human resources and constitunets within their jurisdiction for their respective vaccination efforts.

But the village coordinators took a pity of her after learning that she was transported in a tricycle they hired and had a hard time travelling the somewhat rough roads from their village. Seated in the front row, Pacquiao’s staff picked her to be the first recipient.

“I was dumbfounded when I personally meet Pacquiao that I could not remember what he whispered to me,” Naomi said of her experience meeting the boxing superstar. She said she and her husband have been long-time fans of the eight-division world champion that she sometimes fainted seeing him being hit by a strong punch of a Mexican fighter.

She and husband Carlito who is 15 years younger than her raised a 9-year-old boy with him as an abantero (mining tunnel labor) in the gold rush areas of Rosario town.

Other people who trooped to the covered court were not as lucky as her. The venue was overcrowded even as the event announcer assured that those who have no coupons will still be given cash “ayuda” of P500 each only to end up with only P200 because the staff had ran out of cash.

A broadcast blitz over local FM stations over the visit of presidential aspirant Pacquiao had drawn throngs of people to two venue sites in Agusan del Sur, the other is in Barangay 1 in San Francisco town.

Many of Pacquiao’s supporters however were dismayed for not receiving the “ayuda” even as they went to the venues as early as 10 pm the night before hoping that they would be included in the listings which coordinators listed and distributed coupons two days earlier.

From Monday to Tuesday, Joey Hernal, communications officer of the Pacquiao campaign team, said an estimated 4,000 people were given the “ayuda”, 2,000 in Butuan City on Monday, 1,000 each in San Francisco and Bayugan City or a total cash value of P4 million.

The Zamboanga Task Force Covid-19 data tracker showed that the active cases of Covid-19 decreased to 368 as of November 29 from 394 a day before.

The data also showed that 362 of the cases are communityacquired while the rest include four detainees, one authorized person outside of residence (APOR), and one from the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor).

Of the patients, 66.7 percent are asymptomatic; 20.6 are with mild symptoms; 5.6 percent have moderate symptoms; 5.2 percent are severe; and 1.9 percent are critical.

The data also showed that this city has a total of 22,255 confirmed Covid-19 cases with 20,825 recoveries and 1,062 deaths as of November 29. (PNA)

Instructional Leadership amidst Pandemic By: MARIA SHIELA B. CARTILLA Head Teacher II San Francisco Elementary School Balingasag Central District

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused both unprecedented disruptions and massive changes to education. The landscape of teaching and learning has changed for the School Year 2020-2021. The huge impact is the prohibition of face-to-face classes. Thus, it shifted focus to delivering education remotely through various Distance Learning Delivery Modalities (DLDMs).

With the paradigm shift of learning landscape, the instructional supervision also paved its way to Alternative Classroom Observations for SY 2020-2021 due to the absence of or limited capacity for face-to-face classroom observation as stated in a supplemental document on the RPMS School Year 20202021 in the time of COVID-19. It emphasized distance instructional supervision to minimize spread of corona virus.

The Alternative Classroom Observations Manual for SY 2020-2021 tends to guide teachers and other instructional supervisors on the conduct of distance instructional supervision for School Year 2021-2022 until everyone is safe during this pandemic.

There are three options of classroom observation during the difficulties of the health crises brought by the COVID 19 pandemic. The DepEd Central Office passionately designed this alternative classroom observation via online platform. First, conducting online class using google meet, zoom or any platform, which is in the convenience of the learners and teachers. Second, the recorded video lesson of the teacher in the actual classroom with instructional materials in the absence of the learners. Third, through LAC session in which the TVBI or RBI of the teacher will be presented and the LAC committee will give suggestions for the improvement of the lesson. They will also give commendation for the exemplary lesson presentation of the teacher.

Whatever option the teacher is comfortable, the instructional leadership of the school head and other instructional supervisor have significant impact for the success of the teacher teaching performance.
