‘Basyang’ kills 4 people in Surigao mining town By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Contributing Editor

SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur -- Tropical storm Basyang wrought deadly havoc in the neighboring mining towns of Surigao provinces killing four people buried in a landslide, disaster rfescue officials said. Basyang (international name Sanba) slammed the east coast of Mindanao Tuesday with gusts of 75 kilometers an hour. The heavy rain triggered landslides in the villages of Gamoton and Babuyan in Carrascal town in Surigao

del Sur killing and her two young children and another child in the neighboring village. Kr ist ine Mae Paas, Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer in Carrascal, confirmed the fatalities who died in the local hospital as Irene Benguillo,25, the mother and her two kids AJ , 5, and MJ , 3. The other child killed in the landslide was Jay Panaya Conjurado, 10 in neighboring village of Babuyan. Injured in the landslide See kills, page 11

Dad echoes PCCI concerns on ‘quality’ of SHS graduates By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City-A councilor echoed the concerns of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industries (PCCI) on the job readiness of graduating senior high students who will complete this March. Councilor Romeo Calizo said that not one school in this city is offering all the complete senior high strands – academic, arts and design, sports and technical/ livelihood.

Along this line, Calizo is proposing that the City Council committee on education led by his colleague Suzette Daba launched an inquiry on the matter and invite stakeholders to shed light on the issue such as the regional governor of PCCI Ma. Teresa Alegrio and representatives from the City Schools Division of the Department of Education (DepEd), the implementer of the K-12 curriculum which adds up two years in high school, aptly called senior

high. Daba said the inquiry will be made next week after the City Council gave the go-signal. Earlier, the PCCI central office in Manila was concerned that the 80 mandatory hours of corporate immersion were not enough for the senior high students to experience adult employment life and get them merged into society. Work Immersion is one of the course requirements See echoes, page 5

Dad warns rice traders vs. hoarding, price hike WE will be there! This is the stern warning of Councilor George Goking, chair of the City Council committee on trade and commerce, against unscrupulous rice traders who are taking advantage of the reported shortage in NFA stocks.

Surprise inspections will be conducted and those who hoard or jack up the price of rice will be sanctioned, he stressed. “We will apply sanctions, maybe penalties,” Councilor Goking stressed. During the committee See warns, page 11

Tagumenyos pitch ideas for Metro Davao development By: Tagum City Information Office

TAGUM City—Tagumenyos got a peek of the future of Metro Davao, and pitched in ideas for its further improvement. Last February 6, 2018, the City Government of Tagum welcomed representatives from various local government units, government agencies, and local entrepreneurs, to the Mindanao Development Authority’s 2nd Consultation of the Metro Davao Master Plan, which was held in the New City Hall Atrium. Part of the activities lined up during the event was the Overview of the Metro Davao Urban Master Plan, a summarized report from the previous consultation last November 20, 2017. The grouped delegates were asked to participate in a workshop on Community Resource Planning based on their city of residence. The event was headed and facilitated by Arch. Felino “Jun” Palafox, Jr., the president and founder of Palafox Associates and Palafox Architecture. Palafox, the leading architect for this master plan, openly stated that Metro Davao has high development potential, actually insinuating that by 2050, Metro Davao could be a potential candidate for the

largest airport in the world and Davao Gulf could become one of the largest, if not the largest harbor in the world. With Tagum City’s strategic placement in the intersection of two major road networks connecting the city to other major destinations, this master plan proves to be an effective and efficient way to increase foot traffic in the city. As the LGU aims to be an independent highly urbanized city, this development could give it the edge to maintain its luster in the globally competitive arena. As the first class component city in the province of Davao del Norte in Mindanao, the locale is committed to

its pursuit towards sustainable and inclusive growth and development through highly competitive industries. Mindanao finally has the potential to make this shift from being a backdoor entrance of the Philippines to frontlining investments. With local government leaders with strong political will and visionary leadership, Palafox envisions a metropolitan area invested in agriculture, tourism, culture, and diversity. This public consultation is merely a preview to his vision of democracy; an inclusive metropolitan dream where the fruits of development can be easily shared. Andie Braga/ CIO Tagum

PRO9 to undergo revalida on performance governance reporting LAKEWOOD, Zamboanga del Sur, -- After having complied with the requirements for the initiation and compliance stages, the Police Regional Office IX is now geared towards completing the third-level “proficiency stage” of the Performance Governance System (PGS). Thus disclosed Ronald B. Lledo, vice chairman of the Regional Advisory Council (RAC-9) during the 1st RAC mobile conference recently held at Alindahaw Resort here. He said PRO9 will undergo a full performance audit and unit revalida or performance governance reporting in Manila on February 20. The PGS is a tool for good governance which helps the organization to focus on strategy and manage its effective implemen-

tation. The four key indicators of PGS are initiation, compliance, proficiency and institutionalization, with the end view of transforming the PNP into a highly capable, effective and credible police service. Lledo said PRO9 is now in the proficiency stage of PNP P.A.T.R.O.L. Plan 2030. “The RAC would like to see the cascading of our best practices in this part of the region so that we will be able to present this during the revalida which is scheduled on Feb. 20 in Manila,” Lledo said. He also underscored the crucial role of the RAC saying that the council is not to lawyer for the PNP in the revalida, but to pinpoint where they can improve and better themselves for

the future. The Regional Police Strategy Management Unit made a 15-minute powerpoint presentation showcasing the best practices of PR09 and the different provincial and city councils, where the RAC officers critiqued the methods and practices used in their respective places. The accomplishments of the PRO9 and RAC will be presented by no less than the regional director, Chief Superintendent Billy Beltran during the revalida. L l e d o i s c on f i d e nt that PRO9 will pass the prof icienc y evaluation process and will be conferred the proficient status and u ltimately get the “Gold Eagle Award.” (ALT/GCC/PIA9-Z amboanga del Sur)

SurSur tourism office seeks Valentine’s treat for poor kids TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur, – At least, for once, this Valentine’s month, kids stripped of “life’s niceties,” may experience how it is to feel special! The Provincial Tourism Office in the city, backed by the Provincial Tourism Council and Surigao del Sur Governor Vicente “BB” Pimentel, Jr., has organized a charity event that will be held at the Capitol grounds on February 13 to 15, 2018. Mar yvil Cruz, provincial tourism chief, announced on February 5

that their office had already started signing up with any interested party who would be willing to join in what was dubbed as “Adopt a Child on Hearts’ Day.” During the three-day affair for a cause, the Governor’s Band would play their best to entertain the sponsoring public with their lovely tone and innate musicality every night. No less than 50 undernourished and less-privileged children were said to have been picked out from notably slum areas

here with the aid of both the Nutrition and Social Welfare and Development Offices at the provincial level under Ermelinda Ascares and May Navidad Salinas, respectively. "With parent’s consent, a ready contract good only for “one day” for each kid would be signed by and between the so-called “foster parent” and their office as “trustee” for the said purpose," Cruz said. (GTataro, Jr., Radyo Pilipinas-Tandag/PIA-Surigao del Sur)

BUTUAN CIT Y, – The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will conduct a Crops Production Survey (CrPS) to generate basic production statistics for crops other than p a l ay an d c or n at t h e national, regional and provincial levels. Fruits, Vegetables and Non-food and Industrial Commercial Crops (NFICC) are three commodity groups for other crops sub-sector. It covers more than 200 crops of which 19 are considered major crops. It also releases data on volume of production, area planted/har vested

and number of bearing trees/hills/vines. CrPS is undertaken nationwide in a quarterly basis. It is conducted during the last ten days of the second month of the current quarter, which is simultaneously collected with Farm Price Survey. The survey uses Sampling Design in which farms are classified into small and large farms according to area planted to a specific crop. For large farms, a maximum of five (5) plantations are covered based on the cutoff area. While for small farms, the top five (5)

producing municipalities based on the volume of production are chosen through Key Informant (KI) Approach. All the data and information collected by the hired Statistical Researchers from sample farmer-producers shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not be used for p u r p o s e s o f t a x at i o n , investigation or regulation as provided under Article 55 of Republic Ac t (R A) no. 10625, other wise known as the "Philippine Statistical Act of 2013."

A pedagogical perspective for school leaders NEVER underestimate the pedagogical perspective for school leaders and also teachers. The pedagogical knowledge is a must for those involved in education process and management. Without such background of knowledge schools will be mismanaged pedagogically. This is imperative that school leaders and teachers, especially in secondary schools, implement such a knowledge when managing their schools. The teachers of high school, for example, pedagogical knowledge is required to be attained before starting the teaching and learning process in the classrooms. The senior high schools students are in their puberty period so that they behave in the classroom in several attitudes. The more varied their backgrounds of

lives, the more difficult to manage them in the classroom. Their period of life is between their teenager (immature) and getting to be mature. In that psychological atmosphere, teachers should be able to handle the classroom process pedagogically. It is not easy to let the students’ in their puberty period. In general, their psychological condition needs well –developed mentally. Therefore, the learning process should be more interesting and fascinating in terms of both the materials being presented and the methods of teaching. Pedagogically, the classroom can be well managed when the learning process is based on the pedagogical perspectives. In the education perspective, we have materials (subjects), method of teaching

(based on the teaching and learning strategy), and the teaching aids facilitating the learning process. These factors are psychologically to be adopted in the classroom interaction. Otherwise, the students get frustrated and the learning process get bogged down. The students get discouraged because of mismanaging the classroom without considering the pedagogical concept. It is common that the teachers of senior high schools find themselves difficulty in implanting the knowledge to their students. They soften find problem when they lead the class process while teaching a certain subject or materials. In that case, they are supposed to have failed in managing the classroom process. This can be due to the absence of pedagogical

perspective. So, it is clear that pedagogical knowledge and skill is a must for those who become the teachers of senior high schools. Another important consideration is the school leaders and policy makers. They also need the pedagogical perspective because they also manage the schools, making the policies. These policies will impact the school teachers and the students as well. For example, when they prepare all the infrastructures for teaching and learning process, they have to design based on pedagogical considerations. For example, the rooms for learning interaction. They must be built and See leaders, page 11

Jueteng is a fraud, a scam

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres…” (1 Corinthians 13:6-7, the Holy Bible). -oooJUETENG IS A FRAUD, A SCAM: I hope this column reaches the millions and millions of Filipinos who still place their bets in the native numbers game called jueteng: jueteng is a fraud and a scam, and the term used to describe its draws (supposedly to determine the winning two-number combinations, which locally is called “bola”) signifies nothing but pure and simple trickery by jueteng operators. Not only that there is no draw, but that, they themselves dictate, by sheer whim and fancy,

which numbers will win. According to the testimony given by a former ranking officer of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to the Senate on Monday, February 12, 2018, draws to determine jueteng’s winning combinations, supposedly known through or with the use of small balls painted with numbers, are absolutely non-existent, and are not really resorted to or conducted by jueteng lords or operators. What is more, if jueteng lords find out that a particular combination has drawn plenty of bets, they would make sure, at all cost, that the combination is not allowed to win. Jueteng lords will announce other winning combinations, after checking out from their computers that there are no bets on

those combinations or, if at all, the bets are minimal. -oooSTL, MERE FRONT OF JUETENG LORDS: But there are far more earthshaking disclosures that the former PNP officer gave to the Senate on Monday. One is the fact that STL (or small town lottery) draws by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) is actually being used to enhance jueteng operations. STL was established by law in the country several years ago with the end in view of ultimately stopping jueteng. The problem was that, the bets collected by official STL collectors were not entirely being remitted to the government through the PCSO. Only around 20% of STL collections daily was being given to the PCSO.

Batas Mauricio

About 80% of STL collections were being diverted to the jueteng lords. How did this happen? Well, it was like this: STL was also allowed to be run and operated by personalities fully identified as jueteng lords in the Philippines. One of those implicated last Monday was Rodolfo “Bong” Pineda, a jueteng operator of long standing in the whole country, who is the husband and father, respectively, of the governor and vice governor of the province of Pampanga. -oooSee scam, page 11

Think A Minute

No greater love

THINK a minute. A four year old girl was seriously hurt in a car accident. She had lost so much blood that she would probably die. Her only hope was for someone else to give her blood. But her blood type was very rare and the doctors did not know if they could find anyone in time with her same blood type who was also willing to give their blood. Then, they discovered that the girl’s 7 year old brother had the same blood type as hers. The doctor led her brother into his office to tell him that his baby sister was very sick and unless she received some blood, the angels would probably

need to take her to heaven. The brother’s eyes filled with tears. For a few moments, he tried to hold back his strong feelings of fear and sadness, then he said softly to the doctor: “I’ll give my blood to my sister.” Later, as the young boy watched his blood going through a tube into his sister, he became even more nervous and afraid. The doctor could see the little boy’s fear and told him: “It will be over very soon.” The boy started to cry and said: “So now is when I’m going to die.” From the very first time the doctor had asked this boy to give his blood for his sister, the young boy

thought it meant he needed to give ALL of his blood and die so his sister could live. Yet this little boy loved his sister that much, He was giving his life for her. Did you know Jesus Christ did even more than that for you? Even though He is God Himself, He loves you and me so much He gave His perfectly innocent life so we could finally be forgiven and live forever with Him. God humiliated Himself by becoming a human being to die for all our wrongs. Remember, He never did one wrong He needed to die for. So His perfect life and death paid the penalty for all our sins. Then after

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

He was dead and buried for 3 days, He came back to life so we can share in His kind of life, both now and forever after we die. He is the only hope we have. So have you asked Jesus to forgive you and give you His new life today? He loves you more than anybody does—so much that He died to save you. Won’t you thank and love Him in return by living His right, successful way every day? Just Think a Minute.

for graduation. A Senior High School student has to undergo Work Immersion in an industry that directly relates to the student’s postsecondary goal. The senior high years were created by DepEd to allow graduating students options not to pursue college but rather work in the corporate sector since they would have turned adults by then. The PCCI’s criticism was met by criticism of its own by the labor sector though who claimed that the business group was using the situation to take advantage of free labor through the student immersions. ‘K-12 work immersion program adequate’ An official of the Department of Education (DepEd) on Thursday said the agency maintained its stand that the number of hours in the work immersion program of K to 12 students was sufficient. “While we respect the comment of the PCCI (Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry) about the in-

adequacy in the number of hours for work immersion of senior high school (SHS) students under the K to 12 curriculum, the DepEd maintains its stand,” DepEd Undersecretary Tonisito Umali told reporters in an interview. He said that for one, the 80 hours work immersion requirement was just the minimum. The number of hours could be 240 or 320, depending on the track that the student takes. “Furthermore, we have an inter-agency council composed of DepEd, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). We discuss issues like this,” explained Umali, adding the council would look closely into this system. Umali emphasized that the K to 12 curriculum was designed in a way that graduates would have the competencies to be ready for work or business, or to proceed to college. The curriculum has core subjects, contextualize sub-

He added that the certificate of competency that the SHS graduates would get was the same kind of certificate being given when there was no K to 12 curriculum yet. Students would also take the same type of exams to get that certificate of competency, he said. SHS grads job-ready Grade 12 Senior High School graduates are jobready due to the work immersion program included in their curriculum, the Department of Education (DepEd) said on Monday. The first batch of Grade 12 students are expected to graduate in March, completing the K to 12 Basic Educa-

tion Program. The department made the statement following the concern of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) on the minimum number of training hours required from SHS graduates. “The K to 12 program has equipped the students with the values, knowledge and skills that the industries need. Our strong partnership with different industries would also enable our graduates to strike a balance between theory and practice,” DepEd said. Based on DepEd Order (DO) no. 30 series 2017 or the Guidelines for Work Immersion, students are required a minimum of 80 hours of

work immersion. The agency also pointed out that under the law, someone below 18 but older than 15 years old must spend maximum of 40 hours per week and no more than 8 hours per day during work immersion. DepEd explained the student’s practical experience is not limited to 80 hours because schools may have several delivery models depending on the students’ needs, the school’s capabilities and compliance to the DO no. 30, the Department of Labor and Employment and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority. With the varying delivery models that schools may have, they may choose to offer different number of hours

(80, 240 and 320), according to DepEd, adding that the schools may design their delivery model depending on the situation or concern. The DepEd regional office is in charge of approving the delivery model. “Work immersion may be conducted in different ways and time frame as needed by the students. This provides them the opportunity to be familiar with the work environment, and enable them to apply their competencies in areas of specialization in these environments,” DepEd said. The agency also noted that the DO no. 30 would also help students develop their practical skills and work ethics. (PNA)

Davao City declares Trillanes ‘persona non grata’ DAVAO CITY -- The city council here on Tuesday declared Senator Antonio Trillanes as “persona non grata” for portraying the city the most dangerous in the Philippines and likening Dabawenyos to North Koreans who are easily brainwashed by President Rodrigo Duterte. The city council also declared New York-based Filipina businesswoman Loida Lewis as persona-nongrata. Lewis was recently accused as one of those allegedly behind the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to investigate the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines. Vice Mayor Bernard Alag explained in an interview that as persona non grata, Trillanes is not welcome in Davao City. “Hindi siya kailangan dito (he is not needed here),” Al-ag said. The vice mayor said he understands the politics of Trillanes and his political ambitions by attacking the President, but it is not ac-

ceptable to destroy the city and the people of Davao. Al-ag asked the city council to declare Trillanes as such following the senator’s statements before the Filipino community in Chicago. The vice mayor’s call

was unanimously backed by the city councilors. “It was totally unacceptable. I am speaking on behalf of the Dabawenyos,” Al-ag said. “This is an insult to the 1.6 million Dabawenyos who

are working hard everything to make our city safe,” he said. In a video shared on social media, Trillanes was seen and heard telling the audience that Davao City is See declares, page 7

DAVAO CIT Y -- The Davao city government is now polishing its final preparations for the hosting of the Davao Regional Athletic Association (DAVRAA) Meet on February 17 to 23. City Sports Division head Michael Denton Aportadera said they are now 85 percent ready as the city finalizes the logistical needs for the athletes and other delegations. “As t ime go es by, whether it’s a weekday or weekend, the City Engineer’s Office and the Department of Education never stop working in addressing the issues on playing venues, billeting areas,” Aportadera said during Monday’s Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City Annex. Aportadera said the city is now in the completion

stage for the installation of shower rooms in the billeting quarters so that the athletes will have a decent bathing area. Beddings are already available for the comfortable rest of the athletes. “The foams for athletes already arrived in the city because we don’t want them to sleep on cartons,” he said, recalling issues in past sporting events when some of the athletes were reported sleeping on cartons. Aportadera said the city is also fixing the access roads going to the playing venues and billeting areas as well as water and electrical supply in the schools used as billeting quarters. Aportadera said around 7,000 young athletes are expected to arrive here for See underway, page 7

Output Wall: It’s Impact on Students Behavior

By Grace L. Peñaloza East City Central School

In every classroom, recognition of pupils work is so valuable that we need emphasis to it. A classroom is an important place for students, it is a place where they attain maximum level of learning. When students step into a classroom, they make judgment about the type of class they’ll be having, with a teacher doing a hands-on learning activities. Posting and Displaying Student’s Work offers two important impacts on classroom management: Reinforce and motivate students by recognizing their best work product and model the sort of work that you want students to create. “Best Practices” dictate that you use your bulletin boards. Too often, teachers evaluate each other by how clever their bulletin boards are, especially at the beginning of the school year. Many teachers dip into their own pockets and buy bulletin boards already made. I really like projectbased learning. (Project Board) and believe its one way to keep kids excited

about learning and fully engaged in special projects. I will be rolling my “getting acquainted” board (Back to School) over to my project board for the school year. One way to support selfesteem, help students learn about each other and even do a little public speaking by having a “student of the week.” Choose them randomly rather than with any reflection of their behavior (don’t decide on Monday that Pedro can no longer be the student of the week because of a bad recess.) Post their picture, a format for each child to tell about favorite foods, superheroes, sports, etc. From kindergarten to graduation, a word wall with important words/ terms to learn should be a part of regular instruction. High-frequency words should also be part of word walls, especially with struggling readers. You might want to cluster words with similar endings or with the same irregularity. Teachers aim is not just fill up the students with knowledge, but encourage them to learn by doing; Help them personalized what they learn and appreciate its usefulness.

reans. Ganun yung… it’s the thing there…ganun ang nangyayari nabibili ka agad (They are like North Koreans. It’s like that… it’s the thing there…that’s happening there you can be bought),” Trillanes further said. Trillanes even described Davao City has the worst traffic, many urban poor communities, garbage. He compared it to General Santos City which is peaceful and with good urban planning. Al-ag expressed his disgust at Trillanes’ description of Davao City. “As a Dabawenyo, I take offense to the declaration of Mr. Trillanes. This statement is offensive, malicious and pure lies. In short, this statement is not true. This is fake news,” Al-ag said in a privilege speech at Tuesday’s city council regular session. “Mr. Trillanes went to the United States of America just to portray Davao City as a dangerous place – a place full of criminals, a city of murderers, a city of rapists,” Al-ag said. Al-ag asked that if Trillanes’ basis was 2015 data of the PNP, why would the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) award Davao City with a Seal of Good Governance (SGLG)? The DILG then was headed by Secretary Mar Roxas, an ally of Trillanes.

“We even received five million pesos cash reward from DILG as part of the award,” Al-ag continued. Al-ag emphasized on peace and order as one of the core assessment areas. The other two cores are business friendliness, and competitiveness and environmental management. “I think Mr. Trillanes is confused about his role as a senator of our country. A senator is mandated by our Constitution to legislate policies to preserve and protect the lives of the Filipinos,” he said. “What are you doing Mr. Senator? Instead of preserving our lives, you are destroying our city. Instead of protecting the Dabawenyos, you are mocking the intelligence of Dabawenyos,” Al-ag quipped. Al-ag challenged the Filipinos in Chicago to visit Davao City. “Try riding our taxis, our jeepneys, try walking in our streets in the middle of the night, try eating in restaurants and karenderyas, try going to our police stations,” he urged. “And if you feel and think that Davao is a city of murderers and rapists as what Mr. Trillanes declared, I will refund all your travel expenses plus pocket money going back to Chicago,” he added. A l - a g h it s b a c k at Trillanes as the most dangerous (person).

“You are a dangerous person. Every word you utter is intended to destroy lives. Your words impeded the ability of every Filipino to love his country. You action destroys a community,” Al-ag blasted Trillanes. He recalled that Trillanes destroyed Oakwood Hotel in 2003 and the Manila Peninsula in 2007. “Now you want to destroy my city? No way! You want to destroy my people? No way!” he declared. Al-ag said Trillanes is bound to fail. “You will not succeed in destroying the Dabawenyos. You will not succeed in destroying our beloved President Rodrigo Duterte,” Al-ag declared. (Lilian C. Mellejor/PNA)

the week-long sporting meet. He said there will be 25 sporting events in different playing venues in the city. The center of the event will be at University of Mindanao’s Matina Campus. He said the hosting will be the best opportunity to showcase the city as it has been two decades since Davao City hosted DAVRAA. Aportadera said the success of DAVRAA will be the gauge if the city is prepared to host bigger sporting events like the Palarong Pambansa. He added that hosting a sporting event will also help the tourism industry in the city. (Armando Fenequito/ PNA)

in Mayon area get P60M Balutan to join Du30 in unveiling Workers employment, livelihood aid of ‘Malasakit Center’ in Cebu City P hilippine C h a r i t y Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Alexander Balutan and other government officials will be joining President Rodrigo Duterte this afternoon on the unveiling of ‘Malasakit Center’ in Cebu City. ‘Malasakit Center’ is a one-stop shop located inside Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center where patients can avail of faster and effective processing of their financial/medical needs. “We are happy to be part of this noteworthy endeavour. PCSO has increased the daily financial assistance allocations for all PCSO offices, which process Individual Medical Assistance Program (IMAP) to provide more health and medical assistance nationwide,” said Balutan. This one-stop shop is like the ‘At-Source-AngProcessing’ (ASAP) desk installed by Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio in Davao City last year. Among the government agencies included in the program are PCSO, PhilHealth, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Health (DOH), and Philippine Gaming and Amusement Authority (PAGCOR).

On Thursday, the labor secretary led the payout of about P10 million to almost 4,000 worker-beneficiaries under the TUPAD program. Each beneficiary received P2,900.00 salary for the 10-day community work they rendered in evacuation areas. The Bicol regional office of DOLE is eyeing a second batch of TUPAD beneficiaries so that assistance can be extended to other evacuated families through short-term income support. Families of active overseas Filipino workers affected by Mayon Volcano’s eruption, meanwhile, were provided with P3,000 worth of assistance from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) while P1,500 were given to the families of inactive OFWs.

The labor department has allocated a total of P60M in livelihood and emergency employment assistance to around 10,000 workers and evacuees affected by the restive Mayon Volcano. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said an initial P30M has been set aside for emergency employment under the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) while another P30M is for the livelihood assistance to evacuated worker families. “We are providing support to the victims, especially in assisting displaced workers from the devastation brought by the continuing eruption of Mayon.

-versus- THE LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OF BAROY, LANAO DEL NORTE, Respondent. X----------------------------------------------------------/

This is a petition for Correction of Entry in the Birth Certificate filed by the herein petitioner, JUVY JUMALON-REQUINA. Petitioner alleges that he is of legal age, married, Filipino and a resident of Manlegro St., Gango, Ozamis City. Respondent is sued in his official capacity. Petitioner was born to spouses Montgolfier P. Jumalon and Diosdada G. Jumalon. However, the registration of the facts of his birth was only done on November 20, 1984 by her mother. Unknown to her, her mother registered the Date of her birth as 15 March 1962 instead of 15 March 1966 as it can be gleaned in all her documents of importance. Hence, this petition for correction of entry. Furthermore, there is also an error in the entry of the Date of Marriage of her parents, as it was entered as September 25, 1981 instead of October 21, 1965 as reflected in the Marriage Contract of her parents. In the same Birth Certificate, under Entry No. 2 of the SEX of the child, the two spaces for 1. Male and 2. Female were both marked as “X”:, that gives confusion as to the real gender of the child. That the “X” entered in the space of Male should be deleted, as the petitioner is obviously a FEMALE. That the petition is filed in good faith and is not intended to conceal the commission of a crime and/or defeat the investigation and prosecution of the same. But its sole intention is to straighten her record of birth, to avoid confusion and future inconvenience that it may cause. Set the initial hearing of the petition to March 26, 2018 at 8:30 O’clock in the morning before the sala of this Court. The petitioner is hereby directed to publish copy of this Order to a newspaper of general circulation for three (3) consecutive weeks, at her expense. Any person/s interested to the petition may come to Court on said date and time to show cause why said petition should not be granted. Furnish copy of this Order to the Office of the Solicitor General at 134 Amorsolo St., Legazpi Village, Makati City, to the Office of the Public Prosecutor in Tubod, Lanao del Norte, to the Office of the Local Civil Registrar of Baroy, Lanao del Norte, to Atty.

MINDANAO DAILY BI strictly enforces OFW deployment ban to Kuwait 100 thousand - 10 mil ion ‘No Collateral | No Co-Maker’

Editor: ALLAN M. MEDIANTE

MANIL A -- Immigration officers in all the international airports and seaports nationwide have been ordered to strictly implement the ban on the deployment of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to Kuwait which President Rodrigo Duterte ordered in reaction to the reported deaths and abuse of several Filipinos in the emirate. Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Jaime Morente, in a press release on Feb. 13, said he already directed Marc Red Mariñas, the bureau’s port operations

Wednesday

division chief, on Monday to immediately enforce the ban and conduct stricter immigration formalities on all departing passengers. Morente said rigid inspection of all departing Filipino passengers is necessary to thwart any attempts by illegal recruiters to circumvent the ban and facilitate the exit of Kuwaiti-bound OFWs through the notorious escort racket at the airport. “We shall implement this deployment ban to the letter and immigration personnel who connive

with the escort syndicates will be dealt with severely,” Morente warned. He urged the public not to hesitate in reporting to his office any BI personnel involved in such nefarious activities. Mariñas said he has directed Julius Caesar Feria, head of the bureau’s travel control and enforcement unit (TCEU), to instruct his men in all the ports to be doubly vigilant in assessing and monitoring departing passengers. “I also issued a stern warning to immigration

officers in all the ports that anyone who engages in the escort racket will be suspended and eventually dismissed from the service for gross misconduct,” Mariñas added. Mariñas clarified that in the absence of any directive to the contrary, the “Balik Manggagawa” or returning OFWs to Kuwait are likewise covered by the ban. “All Immigration Officers had been directed to prevent the departure of all OFWs bound for Kuwait.” Mariñas said.

South Cotabato allots P237-M for priority infra G E N E R A L S A N TO S CITY -- The provincial government of South Cotabato has allotted some P237.68 million for the implementation of priority infrastructure projects this year. Vicente Ayongao, acting head of the Provincial Engineer’s Office (PEO), said Thursday these comprised 24 projects that were set for funding and implementation under the province’s 20 percent Local Development Fund (LDF) for 2018. He said 17 of the projects involved the upgrading of road networks, two each for construction of multipurpose buildings and water systems, one each for the construction of a lying-in clinic and curve gym, and the fabrication of drilling

equipment for indigenous dikes. The PEO’s construction and maintenance division was currently preparing the programs of work of the projects, he said. “We’re targeting to complete these requirements early to fast track their full implementation,” he said in a media forum. Ayongao said the implementation of 25 LDFfunded projects worth P72,694,880 were also ongoing as of end January. He said these comprised of horizontal and vertical structures that were approved under the 2017 infrastructure program. The vertical structures are Senior Citizen See allots, page 11

Dominguez cites implementation of Japan-funded infra projects LAPU-LAPU CITY - Department of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III cited on Monday the progress of the discussions on infrastructure and economic cooperation between the Philippines and Japan which demonstrates the strong commitment of the two countries to the “fast and sure” implementation of the Duterte administration’s flagship infrastructure projects. Dominguez said this latest meeting of the Philippines-Japan High Level

Committee on Infrastructure and Economic Cooperation, which is the fourth to be held since March 2017, has already addressed several concerns in only a short period of time. “I am convinced that, through our regular meetings, both our governments are prompted to deliver on our commitments and are encouraged to think of more innovative measures to improve our cooperation,” Dominguez said at the opening of the High-Level Committee meeting here

at the Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa. Dominguez and Secretary Ernesto Pernia of the National Economic and Development Authority both chair the Philippine delegation to the high-level meeting, which also includes key members of the government’s “Build Build Build” infrastructure team, while the Japanese side is led by Dr. Hiroto Izumi, the Special Advisor to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Dr.Izumi, in his opening remarks, said “Japan

intends to contribute to the fast development of the Philippines.” “We are pleased to provide ‘fast, fast, fast’ (implementation) and share cooperation,” Dr. Izumi said. On behalf of the Philippine delegation, Dominguez expressed appreciation for the “focused and open” discussions between the two countries during the meetings of the high-level committee, “signifying our closer cooperation and our strong commitment to a ‘fast See projects, page 11

MANILA -- Reforms on tax system and bureaucracy rolled out by the Duterte administration helped to have a better environment for businesses in the Philippines, top executive of Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, Inc. (HKCCPI) said. HKCCPI President Anthony Chan said the lower personal and corporate income tax rates under the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (CTRP) of the administration is boosting the country’s attractiveness to investors. The Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act has been implemented at the start of the year, which lowers personal income tax, while the government is now pushing for the CTRP Package 2 aiming to reduce corporate income tax. “The tax reform, especially the reduction in income tax rates, also makes the Philippines more attractive and investmentfriendly,” Chan said.

“We also see the current administration really mean to cut or weed out corruption that tremendously encourage investment and job creation,” he added. The business group’s head, on the other hand, wishes that the Congress will pass the bill on ease of doing business. Chan, on other other hand, said businesses and Filipino workers were thriving in the country under the Duterte administration. “Investors from Hong Kong investing in manufacturing sectors employing workers with higher than minimum wage and decent working conditions, that’s we share the view that generally the people are better off under the current administration,” he said. A Forbes article published earlier this month said Filipinos were better off under this administration, citing the Gallup survey that the percentage of Filipinos who consider their lives thriving since President Rodrigo Duterte took office increased to 28 percent in See reforms, page 11

designed suitable for the process of teaching and learning. Otherwise, the design of the rooms are not appropriate. This will create stress for the teachers and students. So, ergonomically, the rooms for learning interaction must be pedagogically designed. Any room for teaching and learning interaction should be well designed based on the purposes, the objectives, and the goal of the school process for achieving the learning outcomes (learning targets) Working stress can be caused by the unsuitable rooms for the teachers and students. So, pedagogically, school teachers and school leaders have to know the academic atmosphere and ergonomically they also know how to design the school infrastructures. These two factors---pedagogy and ergonomics—are important. Regional and central government educational leaders must be aware of such perspectives. All are directed toward increasing the students’ motivation to learn. Editors’ Note: Dr. DJUWARI is the Head of Research Journal and Publishing Department, STIE Perbanas Surabaya.

WHY DID PCSO ALLOW JUETENG LORDS TO CONTROL STL, TOO? It was disclosed that Bong had been the one in control of STL in several big provinces of the Philippines, including Camarines Sur, and those under the political jurisdiction of Central Luzon, Pampanga among them. This information, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said, clearly showed glaring violations of the law that created STL, which envisioned the participation of other, though less prominent, businessmenplayers. In the Senate hearing on Monday, it also came out that in Camarines Sur alone, some P5 million are being collected on a daily basis by the combined operations of STL and jueteng. But, reports that PCSO had been officially releasing show that only P61 million a month are being reported as income from STL. This would mean that STL remittances did not even reach P2 million a day. The question last Monday was this: why did the PCSO allow this system to proliferate, resulting in huge losses to the government courtesy of jueteng lords who were permitted

to operate as STL operators too? The answer here would be very clear, even from the point of view of a mere horse rig driver: someone is profiting from the millions of money that were not being remitted to the PCSO and to the government, from the PCSO itself. I wonder who these are? -oooFOR QUESTIONS, REACTIONS: If anyone would like to ask me any question about what the burning issues of the day mean, or what we have discussed here, or to consult on any problem, whatever it maybe, please call 0917 984 24 68, or email me at batasmauricio@yahoo. com, or post your concerns at www.facebook.com/attybatas.

‘fast and sure’ project implementation”. “As a result of these high-level meetings, our various agencies have been coordinating on a regular basis to implement our joint actions,” Dominguez said. With Japan as a partner to complement the Philippine government’s economic growth strategies, Dominguez said the Duterte administration aims to build safe and resilient structures and communities through the use of Japanese technologies and expertise. Prime Minister Abe, during his first visit to the Philippines in January 2017 and later when President Duterte visited Tokyo in October of the same year, affirmed his intention to contribute one trillion yen ($9 billion) to the Philippines in the form of official development assistance (ODA) and investments for the next five years. “We are grateful for the Prime Minister’s affirmation of the commitments that we have reached in our high level meetings and the support to our long-term plans,” Dominguez said. Underscoring Japan’s commitment to support the country’s infra buildup, Dominguez noted that several development projects here in Cebu, such as the

Wednesday, February 14, 2018 Second Mandaue-Mactan Bridge, Mactan International Airport, and Cebu South Reclamation benefited from Japanese funding. Discussed in Monday’s meeting were the flagship infrastructure projects proposed for Japan ODA financing, the project processing and implementation timetables, the proposed concrete actions to address bottlenecks, the Marawi reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts, and the proposed sectoral cooperation. Three documents were also signed Monday between the Philippines and Japan: 1) the Record of Discussions of the meeting; 2) the Memorandum of Cooperation among the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development , and Surbana Jurong for the “New Clark City”; and 3) the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications for the “Technical Assistance for the National Broadband Plan”. Aside from Dominguez and Pernia, the Philippine side was also represented by Secretaries Benjamin Diokno of the Department of Budget and Management, Arthur Tugade of the Department of Transportation, Mark Villar of the Department of Public Works and Highways, Eliseo Rio, Jr. of DICT; National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon; Undersecretaries Jesus Cristino Posadas of the Department of Energy and Falconi Millar of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council; and Vivencio Dizon, presidentCEO of BCDA. The Japanese delegation included Shigeru Kiyama, Special Adviser to the Cabinet; Director-General Kazuya Nashida, Ministry of Foreign Affairs; DirectorGeneral Seiji Takagi, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication; Deputy Director-General Yasuhiro Yukimatsu, Cabinet Office;

and Deputy Director-General Kazuhisa Kobayashi, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

This is also true for International Chamber of Commerce Philippines (ICCP) Founder Francis Chua, who said the high approval rating of President Duterte in various surveys suggests that lives of Filipinos were in better condition in the past two years. Chua said local business environment was also better off in this administration, noting the increasing number of projects registered with the investment promotion agencies in the country. “The President must be doing the right thing,” he said.

public that there is no reason to panic. “Actually, there is none!” he clarified. National Food Authority Regional Director Fernando Nunez informed the committee that there is enough supply of NFA rice in the region for the next 48 days. He added that last week President Rodrigo Duterte approved the importation of 250,000 metric tons of rice amounting to P5.7 million to augment the NFA’s supply. Out of the 15 regional offices, only eight regions will receive an allocation of imported rice and Region 10 is one of them, he said. “We assure the public that there is nothing to worry about,” he stressed.

Vjandep incorporates all businesses Photos by MARK FRANCISCO

VJANDEP, which traces its roots in 1990, has now incorporated all its spinoff businesses in one umbrella – VjANDEP Ventures Inc. VjANDEP Pastel of Camiguin ahs been known as the trademark product from the Island Born of Fire. It is also one of the oldest delicacies of the Camiguingnons. Eleanor Jose, born and raised in the island, was the first to commercialize the pastel on January 8, 1990 from a P120 capital of what was left of her military husband’s Christmas bonus. The original pastel yema filling is the most popular flavor up to these days from the recipe that was handed down from generations. As the VjANDEP brand grew and the pastels demand with

it, the pastel brand has now over 19 flavors catering to tourists and locals alike in Camiguin, even extending to Cagayan de Oro, the whole country and even overseas. Gasa, a vernacular term for pasalubong, simply means a gift from travel and has become an essential culture among Filipinos when traveling. And after many years of build-

ing the VjANDEP name in Camiguin and its neighboring cities and towns, Gasa as a pasalubong store was born to accommodate different Filipio made products from different parts of the countrya dn thrives to bring every product from across the nation into Gasa’s onestop shop. Gasa has created a convenient way to bring joy to families who visit the

island of Camiguin and the city of Cagayan de Oro. Two years ago, Samuel started to delight the Filipino palates and the tourists in the island of Camiguin by offering Filipino dishes in a modern versus rustic Filipino ambiance. With the dining area making use of carefully crafted dining sets and Spanish-era inspired interior, Samuel restaurant

in Camiguin has made its mark in brining comfort food to tourists and locals. Popular dishes from the Samuel kitchen are battered chicken, pork sisig, leche flan and halo-halo among many others. They are sure favorites in very guest’s table. Ba’ay is a Camiguingnon way of saying balay. It is also a common way to say home. Ba’ay is strategically

and conveniently located at the corner of Rizal street in Mambajao within the same building as Samuel andGasa. It is a convenient and budget-friendly accommodation that will surely give guests the genuine experience of Filipino hospitality. Ba’ay offers both bed and breakfast services and hostel facilities right in the heart of Mambajao.

“Our new flight to Basco is in keeping with our commitment to connect more of the Philippines and make air travel safe, affordable, reliable, and fun-filled for everyjuan.

Batanes emerged as the most requested destination among netizens on social media, aside from being ready for commercial aviation and tourism. Using the hashtag #CEBFlyMeTo, netizens were asked which destinations in the Philippines they would want Cebu Pacific to fly next. Other popular choices among netizens included Daet (Camarines Norte), Mati (Davao Oriental), Bantayan Island (Cebu), San Vicente (Palawan) and Siquijor. The top picks were then assessed in terms of readiness for commercial flights, with criteria that included airport infrastructure, safety and security processes, and passenger facilities. CEB flies to 37 domestic and 25 international destinations. The carrier operates out of seven hubs in the Philippines: Manila, Clark, Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Kalibo and Iloilo.
