National ID is free for life: PSA-11 See PRIORITIZED, page 11

By DANILO ADORADOR, III

DAVAO CITY – The national ID has no expiration date once issued to a Filipino citizen holder. “This can only be reversed by updating your demographic and biometric information or if it has a defect,” the Philippine National Statistics (PSA) 11 regional office said in a statement on Feb. 16. However, for foreign permanent residents in the Philippines or resident aliens, the national ID issued to them is only valid for one year. They have to renew it for succeeding years, according to PSA-11. But does a national ID does entail any cost? PSA-11 said national ID is free, although “there is a need to pay for the transfer of the lost or damaged See FREE, page 11

Customs confiscates P125M worth of cigarettes from China By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

Agents of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service of the Bureau of Customs-10 (BOC-10) led by its chief Oliver Valiente confiscated two container vans full of illegal cigarettes from China estimated to be worth P50 million. The shipment was intercepted by BOC-10 on Feb. 17. Earlier, three container vans containing the same contraband was also seized by the Customs agents. photo by gerry lee gorit

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Bureau of Customs-10 (BOC-10) has confiscated imported cigarettes estimated to be worth P125 million, according to Oliver Valiente, chief of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS). Valiente said they have been monitoring shipments from China leading to the confiscation of at least five container vans containing cigarettes. Each container has an approximate value

of P25 million. The first batch, three container vans, was detected by the Customs police sometime last week and the second shipment arrived at the Mindanao Container Terminal sub-port on Feb. 14, he said. Valiente placed the estimated value of the cargo at P50 million per container van, although the BOC-10 will still determine the actual worth of the cigarettes. He said they were ordered to monitor the vessels containing the cigarettes,

whose brands were Marvels and Two Moons. The latest cargo, he said, stopped by at the ports of Manila and Davao before proceeding to the MCT. It was subjected to a spot check on Feb. 16. “We were able to track the vessel, and upon verification it was positive that the container vans contained cigarettes,” Valiente said. He said the cigarettes were wrongfully declared as pieces of furniture. Valiente identified the See CONFISCATES, page 11

DA eyes brgys to aid in protecting hog industry thru ‘BABay ASF’

Farmer’s Cooperative in Pantukan receives P200K check from PLGU-Davao de Oro

DAVAO de Oro -- The Pantukan Upland Farmers Consumers Cooperative with fifty-nine members received PHP200K from the PLGU Davao de Oro through Provincial Agriculturists Office under the Micro Credit Assistance Program for Cooperatives (MCAPC) on February 18, 2021 at the PAGRO Office, Cabidianan, Nabunturan. The assistance gives an additional capital for consumer’s store to generate more income and making it more responsive particularly in this time of the pandemic. MCAPC was created by former Governor Arturo T. Uy in 2009 as a lending program that aims to provide financial assistance for the micro cooperatives in the province who wants to venture in various projects without interest. Assistant PAGRO Department Head, Ronald C. Sibayan personally congratulates the beneficiaries for maintaining a good track record and improving their

business enterprise. “Mapasalamaton kita nga gidungagan ni Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy ug kapin PHP5M ang pondo sa MCAPC ug natubag ang mga hangyo sa mga kooperatiba nga patas-an ang kantidad nga ilang mahulam sugod 2017 hangtud sa kasamtangang tuig, diin PHP100K kaniadto ug nahimong PHP150K na ang first loan sa pagkakaron ,” Sibayan said during turnover ceremony. He also added that before qualifying as the recipient of the loan, they had to meet a lot of requirements. The Provincial Management Committee (PMC) went through a background check to make sure whether the cooperative has good or bad records. As of January 31, 2021, a total of PHP23.5 million pesos of loans have been released to the 103 cooperatives in the province.

DA enjoins the local governments to enhance their biosecurity, monitoring and surveillance measures against ASF via BABay ASF in a media interaction held over the weekend.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY– Coined as BABay or Bantay ASF sa Barangay, the Department of Agriculture (DA) eyes to cascade the ASF control program at the village levels to improve the biosecurity, monitoring and surveillance measures against the viral hog disease. Initially apportioned with P1.5 billion, Dr. William C. Medrano, DA undersecretary-designate for livestock explained, this [BABay ASF] is the latest national platform in all of the bolstered measures and strategies of the department to effectively prevent and control the spread of ASF. “Dito sa bagong programa ay kailangan na po nating

paigtingin ang role ng local government units (LGUs) dahil po ang LGUs, especially the municipal, city and even at the barangay level, sila po are considered as our frontliners, first responders in cases of [ASF] outbreak,” USec Medrano emphasized, in a press briefing Saturday hosted by the City Government of CdeO with DA Chief William D. Dar for a regional visit. Likewise, he pinned his hopes for LGUs to fast track the adoption of the program thru the issuance of ordinances for institutionalization, as the national government thru DA has already in the pipeline the provision of test kits, per-

43 LGUs in Normin allot fund for COVID-19 vax CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Feb. 19 (PIA)--Of the 98 local government units (LGUs) in the region, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-10 bared that there are 43 LGUs, which have already allocated funding for coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 vaccination program.

sonal protective equipment and disinfection systems, capacity building, among others. The DA official’s statement is also opportune as Region 10 declared its recent confirmed ASF cases in Brgy. Jampason, Initao and Brgy. Pagawan, Manticao of Misamis Oriental; and barangays Mambuaya and San Simon in this city on Wednesday. Following standard protocols, Carlene C. Collado, regional executive director of DA-10, meanwhile reported, the depopulation of hogs within the 500-meter radius from ground zero is ongoing, noting 250 heads of hog were already culled

in barangays Mambuaya and San Simon, and another 264 is underway. “As indemnification assistance, DA will be giving out P5,000 per culled hog. We are also committed in providing alternative livelihood assistance to these [affected] barangays. Sa mga hog farmers, basin naa sila’y gustong i-propose nga other livelihood and other ruminants projects. Magbigay lang ng letter of intent, so that we can help them to start anew,” Collado underscored. For hog raisers under the green zone or ASF-free areas, however, the director urged them to have their stocks insured thru DA’s attached agency, Philippine Crops Insurance, Corp., as coverage is pegged at P10,000.00 each, should hogs be culled due to ASF. Similarly, both the city governments of CdeO and Misamis Oriental have committed, as well, to help affected hog raisers in their respective areas. “We will also provide P2,000.00 per culled hog on top of the P5,000.00 compensation from the national government. Hopefully, this will cushion the impact that the culling of hogs may produce,” Oscar S. Moreno, the local chief executive of CdeO City pointed out.

Andanar cites role of MisOcc youth in fight vs. Covid-19 By NEF LUCZON

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY-Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar on Tuesday reminded the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials in Misamis Occidental of their role in helping the government spread the right information in combating the coronavirus disease (Covid-19). In a dialogue held in Ozamiz City, Andanar urged the young officials in the province to be one with the government in disseminating correct information and counter misinformation with truth, especially with their contemporaries and in their communities. He also lauded the SK for pushing “fresh ideas and initiatives” that seek to “upgrade old ways of thinking” to help the nation to grow and evolve. Andanar also listened to the issues and concerns of the SK and offered his assistance in their respective campaigns in the midst of the pandemic.

“Never in the history of SKs that there has been a challenge such as this pandemic; the more reason I believe that our country will demand and need good leaders,” he said. Andanar also underscored the participation of what he said is an often overlooked and underestimated demographic, noting that the country’s youth population-- specifically the 15-24 age group--currently stands at 19.8 million, based on last year’s Labor Force Survey by the Philippine Statistics Authority. “The national government needs to reach out to the youth, to talk and explain on why they are urged to stay at home,” Andanar said, adding that the youth has more chance of understanding and listening to one another, especially in relaying important information. Me a nw h i l e , P C O O promised to provide local governments in Misamis Occidental province a communications toolkit for the information dis-

Does paper really still matter?

THE frequent whirring of printers in offices - despite the Internet, Microsoft Word, social media (by the way, I love Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter), scanners, smart phones applications and many much more - attest to that. It’s no longer a secret, I’m writing my biography. You can already read the first chapters online. But, of course, I also have the idea and the wish one day to be able to hold my thoughts in a tightly bound book. I was - and I am still! very much old fashioned in many things. While still typing on an old manual typewriter, my former colleagues in different publishing houses used already electric units. I loved my antique typewriter. I love it till today. Yes, it’s still here at my office in Davao City. I can’t use it anymore, because no more ribbons are available in the Philippines. It’s fine for me. My electric typewriter is also here. Just beside the manual unit. Those were the days, my love... . It has been sometimes at the end of the 1990’s. I worked in an international publishing house in Berlin with branches in Amsterdam

and New York. I still used one of those wonderful electric typewriters - and tried to avoid vehemently a personal computer. Already during that time, I needed to hold paper in my hands. Paper, says the productivity expert David Allen, is “in your face”. I strongly agree with David. He said, “Its physical presence can be a goal to completing tasks, whereas computer files can easily be hidden and thus forgotten. I am also returning to paper planners for this very reason. Smile ... . David Allen, the author of “Getting Things Done”, does much of his writing on a computer. So do I meanwhile. But, there are still times when writing with a fountain pen on a notepad. It allows “us” to get “our” heads in the right place. When I tried to learn more from David Allen, I really got surprised that we have many things in common. Old fashioned or not? I don’t care. Here are some facts: Paper print outs serve an important function. For long texts, a print out can allow a reader to better understand relationships between sections and writings.

a presence at meetings partly because they are useful for taking notes. Reading a long document on paper rather than on a computer screen helps people “better understand the geography of the argument contained within, “said Richard H.R. Harper, a principal researcher for Microsoft in Cambridge/ England and co-author with Abigail J. Sellen of “The Myth of the Paperless Office,” published already in 2001. I also strongly agree with Sellen, saying that using more than one computer screen can be helpful for all this cognitive juggling. But when workers are going back and forth between points in a longer document, it can be more efficient to read on paper. How about “e-reading a book”? A novel, a drama, whatever? What do you prefer, my dear reader? You wanna know my opinion? I am sure, you can imagine. Yes guys, I still need a book in my hands for my leisure reading. I need to feel the See PAPER, page 11

Light moments over serious issues

BONGBONG Marcos lost his case in the Supreme Court but hopefully learned an expensive lesson. An attempt to appeal his case is a futile move considering the unanimous decision of the justices to junk his case in favor of Leni Robredo. Well, this is a free country and he can go ahead try another bid. His lawyer and Robredo’s will find celebration in a protracted trial. By the time the High Court will come out with a verdict it could only reaffirm the tribunal’s decision and perchance he will be lucky this time he will go down in history as the Vice President which the country never had. Let’s put a light moment on this development. No use crying over spilled milk. It goes with the tune of “It must be him”. With apologies to Vikk Carr and the songwriters. I told Bongbong what’s done is done, I told Bongbong don’t be a fool He played the field and he thought he’d won But thought t’was easy and played it coo I told Bongbong don’t take it easy, The campaign trail is rough and messy Your dad is missed but

VP Leni Robredo is ebullient she won the case. On the heels of her victory, she unleashed a tirade against Pres. Rodrigo Duterte for demanding from the US of A rentals in exchange for the Visiting Forces Agreement. She branded the President’s pronouncement as an “extortion”. In a way, she insulted 39 other countries worldwide who receive billions of dollars for the use of their territories for the US military bases and facilities. Sen. Ping Lacson, on the other hand, does not like the language of Duterte. He even lectured on the President that based on the constitution he has every right to say his piece on crafting of treaties that the Philippines will ink with other countries. But who told him Duterte contemplates a new treaty or even an executive agreement? There is no item in the Senate agenda that would substantiate Lacson’s perorations?

LANDBANK to expand branch, ATM networks in 2021

A lechon operator in Barangay Kauswagan is among those affected by the entry of African Swine Fever in Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Oriental. Where before her lechon business is thriving with an average of 60 pigs being roasted each day, it is suffering these days as there are now a few customers, even during huge occasions such the recent Chinese New Year and Valentines Day. photo by gerry lee gorit

TO further boost its reach and better serve the banking needs of clients across the country, the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) is set to open 23 new branches and branch-lite units and deploy an additional 190 ATMs this year. As of February 15, 2021, LANDBANK has the thirdlargest ATM network in the country among local banks with 2,316 ATMs, which serve 410 municipalities that are classified as unbanked. LANDBANK is also the only bank present in all 81 provinces nationwide. The 23 additional LANDBANK touchpoints in the pipeline this year are composed of 16 branches and

branch-lites, five (5) AgriHubs, and two (2) mobile branches. This will grow LANDBANK’s branch network to 500 branches and branch-lite units nationwide by year end. The additional five (5) Agri-Hubs programmed for the year will raise the total to ten (10) nationwide and will help the Bank reach more farmers and fishers. Located in top rice-producing provinces, LANDBANK Agri-Hubs feature a hybrid of different banking and lending functions to respond to the developing

needs of stakeholders in the agriculture sector. The two (2) new mobile branches will provide uninterrupted banking services in areas hit by calamities and other unexpected events. One (1) LANDBANK mobile branch will support the San Pablo Branch in Laguna to cover affected areas in Luzon, while the other will support the Bajada Branch in Davao del Sur for areas in Mindanao. LANDBANK will also install 190 new ATMs nationwide—which include 10 See EXPAND, page 8

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Digital transformation goes front and center during the pandemic DIGITAL transformation was the key to most companies’ survival during the pandemic even for heavilyregulated industries such as life insurance. However, it comes with its own challenges. One of them, strict government regulations, could potentially hinder companies from fully-transforming digitally but Insular Life (InLife) views them as opportunities to partner with government units and industry associations. “There are strict policies with regards ecommerce, data privacy and capitalization requirements which could, in a way, constrain the product development process or affect how we design the customer experience or how quickly we want to adopt new technologies,” said InLife First Vice President and Chief Technological Officer Gwendolyn D. Kelley.

Kelley identified two other factors that could deter companies from embracing digital transformation: cyber security and maturity of the buying public. “Putting in place a very secured platform that’s open to the public costs a lot.” Aside from this, the readiness of the public to adopt or adjust to new technology must be considered. “An innovation cannot be successful if people will not use it.” She noted that even with these constraints, it was not difficult for InLife to pivot during the pandemic. “We have built a robust technical architecture starting in 2015 when we implemented the Automated Underwriting System (AUS), a first in the industry, and replaced our core insurance system with enhanced technology.” The AUS allowed InLife to issue policies in about 30 minutes, which used to take them days to accomplish.

Later, the Company developed its Customer Portal, a self-service online servicing platform that allows its customers to pay premiums, switch funds, withdraw funds, take out policy loans, or withdraw dividends on their own. These are services which proved to be vital to their customers during the pandemic when the community quarantine for most areas in the country was imposed. “We further expanded our customer channels by putting in place chat platforms and a chatbot in our Facebook messenger account,” added Kelley. One of the key factors, aside from the acquisition of the AUS, was InLife’s adoption of the Agile mindset in solutions development. “That paved the way for us to prioritize high value projects, increase collaboration and quickly deliver solutions and products required by the

Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican welcomes new members from around the world Ayala Group among Thirteen New Large and Small Businesses and Nonprofit Organizations to Implement More Inclusive Practices MANILA, February 18, 2021 – The Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican has welcomed Ayala Corporation Chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala into the global nonprofit coalition of business and public sector leaders working to build a “more trusted, fair, responsible, dynamic, and sustainable economic system that addresses the needs of people and planet.” Ayala is the first business group from the Philippines to be represented in the Council.

“I am thrilled to welcome these new members as they take the necessary actions to ensure a better future for us all,” said Meredith Sumpter, CEO of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism. “Whether you are a small-town grocer, or a CEO of a global corporation, we all have a role to play to build more inclusive economies and societies.” Launched in December 2020, the council is a “historic collaboration of CEOs and global leaders” Holiness Pope Francis together with the Guardians of the Council, which includes captains of international provided moral guidance by His organizations such as the United Nations, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Bank of America, Ernst & Young, Visa, and Mastercard, among others.

“I believe that no challenge is insurmountable if we harness our collective ingenuity and energy, most especially when we are driven by a shared commitment to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people; and the future of our children and our planet.” --Ayala Chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala

SHOULD WE NEGLECT THE READING ENHANCEMENT OF STUDENTS BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC? By ABIGAIL MAE W. SAGUING Teacher I Alubijid Central School

This pandemic is an educational disaster for many of the school-aged children. Schools are closed but schooling goes on, and it remains vital for teachers to find ways and various repertoire to see and identify what students are learning and how their learning skills and reading ability be enhanced. As more students are at home, the higher the risk of the students in becoming disengaged from prospering their reading ability. Students under frustration level are more likely vulnerable in this pandemic. Social distancing could pose real challenges. This is because learning to read is an inherently social activity. Also, when children attend school in person, most reading instruction happens between teachers and other students. Though this school year is a challenging one, reading enhancement must not be set aside. The least that the teachers can offer is to really build rapport and connection to parents while establishing activities that involve reading. Reading materials can also be distributed to parents during the module distribution and teachers then can assess students’ reading ability through either having a virtual reading activity for those with strong

internet connection or through phone calls. However, there are still students without gadgets and are dwelling in areas without internet connection, and this becomes more sacrificial to teachers. Visitation will then probably the next step while putting first the safety of students, parents and teachers. There are still many ways to aid our students yet being hindered by COVID-19. The utmost purpose of opening classes amidst the pandemic is not to give struggles to parents and students but rather to continue learning, improving and enhancing knowledge and reading ability in new way of instruction. Adjustments, acceptance, and sacrifices must always be present to surpass this educational challenge. Additionally, social distancing can be overcome if families and teachers work hand in hand during this time. If teachers do a better job of involving families and these families will actively coordinate, some students will probably learn to read more quickly because after all ENHANCEMENT is not only be done at school but it can also be done at home with proper supervision. Therefore, READINGENHANCEMENT MUST NOT BE NEGLECTED.

His Holiness Pope Francis and the Vatican through His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. It serves as a forum for interaction and sharing best practices, and a core group of guardians for inclusive capitalism. Guardians include leaders of the United Nations, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Bank of America, Ernst & Young, and Mastercard, among others. Hailed by the UN Global Compact as a Sustainable Development Goals pioneer,

Zobel is among the 17 new stewards of the council-business and investment leaders from around the world working to “change capitalism for good” via measurable public commitments toward more inclusive and sustainable practices. “All of us who thrive on the success of capitalism need to have a sense of responsibility and empathy to counteract the forces of inequity that the system also creates. We need to collectively harness our resources, ingenuity, and energy to align our institutions to

DepEd-Division of Iligan City Conducted Teachers Research Enhance Program (TREP): Aiding New Breeds of Science Research Advisers By JOSEVI D. MACAS of Iligan City National High School – Senior High School Department

The pandemic has affected many aspects of people’s lives but the Department of Education (DepEd) - Division of Iligan City can never be paralyzed in molding science and research teachers, despite adversities. Teachers believe that learners and aspiring young scientists need guidance and support for them to discover the world in the form of scientific research. February 18, 2021 marked the history of its first ever TREP of the Division of Iligan City! It is their first time to conduct the Teachers Research Enhance Program (TREP): Aiding New Breeds of Science Research Advisers. The momentous event was materialized through the active participation of two of the pillars in the Department of Education; Region X Science Supervisors, Nick C. Pañares, PhD and Iligan City Science Education Supervisor, Engr. Ann Q. Solijon. The unfailing support and encouragement of school principals, asst. school principals, department heads, colleagues and positive response of the overwhelming num-

ber of teachers/participants had also led the organizers from Iligan City National High School (ICNHS) and Iligan City National East High School to implement the said program. TREP has four (4) phases and this Division Online Meeting and Orientation was part of Phase 1 of IV of the entire programs to be implemented between the months of February to April 2021. Indeed, this is a fulfilling and happy “TREP” for the organizers and participants. This is the beginning of the learning process, where science and research teachers from both private and public high schools can work handin-hand as one Division. The main goal of this program is to produce quality science research from the different schools in Iligan City following DepEd format and International Science and Engineering Forms (ISEF) forms that will quality in the Division Science and Technology Fair (DSTF) as well as in regional, national and even international science fair.

the broader, progressive development goals of humanity, in general, and our host communities,” Zobel said. Last year, Zobel was also named co-chair of Trade and Investment Taskforce at B20 Saudi Arabia, the official voice of the global private sector to the G20. As part of the Taskforce leadership, he has been an instrumental part of the policy formulation process, providing his continuous guidance and expertise to other leaders and members. “I believe that no challenge is insurmountable

if we harness our collective ingenuity and energy, most especially when we are driven by a shared commitment to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people; and the future of our children and our planet. The Council for Inclusive Capitalism is an excellent coalition to push this agenda forward, and I am committed to contribute and to learn,” Zobel added.

Innovative teaching and learning strategies for senior high school in the new normal By JOAN ACIERTO-ENAD Teacher III Iligan City National High School

INNOVATIVE teaching is really applicable in the Philippine setting especially here in our island of Mindanao. But more so now that we are integrated with other Southeast Asian countries, innovative teaching is even more relevant so our students will learn things beyond the confines of the classroom. Although academics is still key to career success, there are lots of things we encounter in the adult world which we haven’t learned in the classrooms. And this is where innovative teaching lies. One of the prime movers in innovative teaching at least in the world of fiction is John Keating of Dead Poets Society. John Keating’s

methods make high school seniors take interest in the subject he’s teaching rather than making the students cut classes. There are lots of methods that a teacher can practice innovative teaching if only he or she keeps an open mind and can be very creative. If you’re an elementary teacher, kids will enjoy you injecting innovative games to expound on the subject that you’re teaching whether it’s arithmetic or chemistry. If you’re in a high school campus, you can exhort your teen students to illustrate or recite out loud the applications of the academic theories they learn in the books into their daily lives. Isn’t that exciting?

COMPLAINT

Plaintiffs , through counsel to this Honorable Court most respectfully allege: I That plaintiffs, Antonio Sacal Galon, of legal age, Filipino, married with residence and post address at Poblacion, Sagay, Camiguin, and Manuel Sacal Galon, of legal age, Filipino , married with residence and post office address at Maloko, Manolo, Fortich , Bukidnon , Philippines, are brothers, being the children of the late Crisanta Barsobia Sacal and Guillermo Galon.

That a certified true electronic copy of Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition executed by Felicisimo Zacal and Maria Sacal only, is hereto attached as annex C, and made integral part hereof. X That as a of Entry No. 1285, OCT P-2504 , in the name of Heirs of Juliana Sacal, was cancelled by the Register of Deeds , and TCT No. P-222, in the name of Felicisimo Sacal only, was entered on the 24th day of May, 1982 at 11: 56 a.m. by the Registry of Deeds of Camiguin, Aniano S. Paderanga, Annex D, certified true copy of TCT P-222, hereof consisting of four (4) pages, Annex D-1, D-2, D-3, which are made integral parts hereof. XI That as appearing on theface of annex B-2 ( Entry No. 1285, of OCT 2504 ), the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition executed by Felicisimo Zacal and Maria Sacal, all surnamed Sacal, was never entered in the notarial register if Atty. Vito M. Carrillo, there being no document number, no page number entry, book number entry, indicate thereon and could not considered a public document, hence, not registrable. XII Likewise it appears from the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition ( Exh C hereof ) itself was never signed by Alfredo Sacal, contrary to what the Entry No. 1285 of OCT 2504 stated, that Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition was executed by Felicisimo Zacal, Maria Zacal and Alfredo Sacal. XIII That the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition (Annex C) contains so many fraudulent representations of fact, made with knowledge of its falsehood by Felicisimo Zacal and Maria Sacal, such as for example the following; a. That there was in fact no oral partition of all the real properties left by Feliciano Sacal and Juliana Barsobia SAcal, more particularly a parcel of land located at Bonbon, Sagay, Camiguin, now identified as lot 2027. b. That Feliciano Sacal and Juliana Barsobia Sacal, had Five (5) heirs, not only three (3), as mentioned in the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition. The heirs are: 1. Felicisimo Sacal 2. Crisanta Sacal 3. Maria Sacal 4. Anatolio Sacal 5. Bienvenido Sacal Who are even mentioned by Felicisimo Zacal in his application for Free Patent for and in representation of the heirs of Juliana B. SAcal (Annex A thereof) filed by him on November 06, 1973. XIV The statement in the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition , that Alfredo Sacal Galon, is the only son and child of Crisanta Galon, is a fraudulent representation of fact. Afredo Sacal Galon, is the son of Crisanta Sacal, daughter of Juliana B. Sacal and Feliciano Sacal. And had several brothers and sisters, namely; Manuel Sacal Galon, Antonio Sacal Galon, Anatolio Sacal Galon. This fraudulent representation of fact was made by Felicisimo Zaca, and intended to deprive the plaintiffs; Antonio Sacal, manuel Sacal Galon, and their siblings of the lawful share of the inheritance of Crisanta Sacal, as well as deprive the other co-heirs of Juliana Sacal, represented by plafintiffs; Efren Sacal, Elizabeth SAcal, Manuel Sacal, Manuel Yano Sacal and Alfredo S. Cabactulan of the hereditary rights over Lot 2027. XV That there was in fact no oral agreement among the heirs of Juliana B. Sacal, to partitions her estate in 1970, after her death on March 11, 1969 ( Annex E) , certified machine copy of certificate of death of Juliana B. Sacal , by the Local Civil Registrar of Sagay, Camiguin, hereto attached and made integral part thereof. XVI That the alleged oral partition of the estate of Juliana B. Sacal, among the three (3) heirs and signed only by Felicisimo Zacal and Maria Sacal, cannot be the legal basis of an Affidavit of Fact of Oral partition agreed among the heirs of Juliana B. Sacal did not have only three (3) heirs, aside from the fact that the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition , is not a public document, and consequently not registrable, and not signed by Alfredo Sacal Galon. XVII That the Free Patent Application was filed on November 06, 1973, in which names of the heirs of Juliana B. Sacal , Alfredo Sacal, was not mentioned among them but particularly the heirs of Crisanta Sacal Galon, was erroneously mentioned as heirs of Cresencian Sacal. XVIII Another fraudulent representation of fact in the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition, Annex C , is the statement; “That the land was partitioned in this wise: One half (½) was shared to Felicisimo Zacal , and the other half (1/2) was

shared equally between Maria Sacal and Alfredo Sacal and the last two(2) named sold their respective shares in 1070 to Felicisimo Sacal”. the truth of the matter is that there was no sale of the share of Maria Sacal and Alfredo Sacal Galon. As shown in the attach ancient (more that 30 years) private document (Exh. F dated March 23, 1982 ) executed by the spouses Felicisimo Zacal and Guadalupe Ebcas, which they acknowledged the fact, that Maria Sacal Cabactulan and Alfredo Sacal Galon, signed a document purporting to sell their shares in a residential lot under TD No. 4857, located at Bonbon, Sagay, Camiguin,to Felicisimo Zacal was fictitious and simulated, merely for the pupose of accommodating the spouses Felicisimo Zacal and Guadalupe Ebcas , requests so that the whole of lot 2027 would be transferred to his name, to enable Felicisimo Sacal, to secure a loan with the bank, without any intent on their part to sell their share. XIX That this ancient document has been in the custody of Antonio Sacal Galon, after it was given to him by the widow of Alfredo Sacal Galon, after his death. XX That because of the execution by Felicisimo Sacal, of the Affidavit of Fact of Oral Partition and its registration in the Memorandum of Encumbrances in OCT No. 2504, Felicisimo Sacal was able to procure a TCT P-222 in his name only by means of both actual and constructive fraud . ( Exh. D, D-1, D-2, D-3 ) , for lot No. 2027, now declared under TD No. 05000101617, in the name of Felicisimo Zacal, with an assessed value of P 97,380.00 ( Annex G) hereto attached and made integral part hereof. XXI That TCT P-222 is null and void under the provisions of Sec. 55, of Land Registration Act (LRA) 496, now Sec. 53 of PD No. 1529. XXII That plaintiffs , particularly Antonio Sacal Galon, Manuel Sacal Galon, Manuel Yano Sacal, knew of the fraud committed by Felicisimo Sacal when both plaintiffs and defendants were summoned before the Lupon Tagapamayapa on July 20, 2018, upon plaintiffs complaint against some of the defendants ; Arcanghel Zacal, Expidito Zacal, Margarito Zacal, Flora Zacal Manzano, for harassment and stoning their house and shouting at them to leave the land, during which conference It was revealed that defendant Arcanghel Zacal, and co-defendants wanted them to leave the land, because it is no longer theirs. XXIII That on September 17, 2018, plaintiffs for the first time secured an electronic true copy of TCT P-222, then and only then plaintiffs knew of the deception, which confirmed the fraud and wilful misrepresentation committed by Felicisimo Zacal , on them in securing TCT P-222 all alone for himself. XXIV That defendants, particularly Arcanghel Zacal. Committed constructive and/or actual fraud in depriving plaintiffs of their rightful share of Juliana B. SAcal and Feliciano Sacal of Lot 2027, having actual and constructive knowledge of the fraud done by his father, did not prevent it, but instead became the beneficiary of the fraud against the interest of plaintiffs, who are his first cousins. XXV That as a result and natural consequence of the fraudulent misrepresentation of facts committed by Felicisimo Zacal, father of defendants, plaintiffs were deprived of their hereditary rights or share in Lot 2027, which is now registered only the name of Felicisimo Zacal. XXVI That plaintiffs have been constrained to hire a lawyer to protect and defend their rights and interest at he cost of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Pesos (P150,000.00) for atty’s fees; Fifty Thousand Pesos (P 50,000.00) as expenses of litigation, including court filing fees. XXVII That because of the fraudulent acts of Felicisimo Zacal , in combination with those of defendants, plaintiffs suffered moral damages at being shocked , angry, frustrated and restless upon knowing that they have lost to Felicisimo Zacal, their hereditary rights by his fraudulent acts. Adding insult to injury, defendants acts of harassment, committed already several times against plaintiffs to compel them to leave the land, contributed to strike and inflict fear and danger in the mind of plaintiffs that defendants would not hesitate to use force upon their persons, should they refuse tom leave which damage maybe fairly awarded to plaintiffs, in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Pesos ( P 100,000.00) PRAYER WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court , after due hearing and trial on the merits, that judgement be rendered as follows: 1. Ordering the outright cancellation and/or annulment of TCT P-222, In the name of Felicisimo ZAcal coveringCad Lot No. 2027, located at Poblacion, Sagay, Camiguin and the issuance of a certificate of title in the name of the Heirs of Juliana B. Sacal, represented by Antonio Sacal Galon, Sacal et,al. 2. Ordering defendants to stop harassing plaintiffs during the pendency of this action. 3. Ordering defendants to pay plaintiffs jointly and solidarity ,the following amounts: 1. One Hundred Fifty Thousand Pesos (P150,000.00 ) as and for attorney’s fees 2. Fifty Thousand Pesos ( P50,000.00) as and for expenses of litigations. 3. One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00) as and for moral damages 4.

unprecedented challenges to companies, big and small, but for InLife’s Kelley, digital transformation must be embraced by everyone in the organization. For her, the three important factors that businesses must have in order to take advantage of digital transformation are: Top Management’s foresight, important partnerships, and ability to harness the benefits of technology with the right skills and mindset. “First, our top management’s foresight enabled InLife to set up the InLife Virtual Business Enabler (InLife ViBE) which allowed our financial advisers to pursue their work of educating and providing insurance protection for Filipinos. Second, we need to be open as an organization in partnering with other companies who can help us expand our presence or provide plug & play services that will improve our customer journeys. Third, we need to be an agile organization that can quickly & collaboratively implement new technologies and execute initiatives to enhance customer experience, improve operational efficiency and achieve its goals.”

DSWD readies P3.2-M food packs as ‘Auring’ threatens Caraga By ALEXANDER LOPEZ

BUTUAN CITY – The Department of Social Welfare and Development in Caraga Region (DSWD-13) has already prepositioned some 7,607 food packs worth PHP3.2 million for vulnerable families that could be affected by tropical storm Auring.

“We already positioned some 4,013 food packs in our warehouse here in Butuan City and ready for distribution when needed,” Marko Davey Reyes of the Information Office of DSWD-13 told Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Friday. He added that food packs were already delivered to

Stress and anxiety in this time of pandemic By DARCY NIEZ-JEMENA Teacher III Iligan City National High School

GETTING enough sleep is crucial to stay healthy amid the global pandemic. A global pandemic like COVID-19 has challenged us in many ways including our sleep pattern. Because of fear, anxiety and stress brought by the pandemic, many are experiencing disruptive sleep. We know that the virus mainly attacks our immune system by weakening it slowly. With this in mind, it’s imperative that the importance of sleep amid COVID-19 is under the radar. From there, we canont deny the fact that during these trying times, sleep becomes

more important because of its numerous benefits to our health. So why is sleep important amid this crisis? Sleep boosts the immune system. Sleeping gives our body the needed time to rest and repair. Have you noticed when you feel unwell, you feel so tired? Sleep is your body’s chance to fix whatever is wrng in the system. It supports the proteins and cells of our immune system to detect and destroy germs and bacteria. With COVID-19 challenging our immune system when infected, sleeping can be our way to protect and strengthen our body’s immune system response.

ALS DURING THE PANDEMIC By FRANKLIN L. CABATINGAN Teacher-I District ALS Coordinator District of Alubijid

Latest DepEd data shows that 405,902 learners are currently enrolled under DepEd’s ALS program. The ALS is a parallel learning system which encompasses informal, non-formal and indigenous teaching strategies as an alternative to the existing formal education. During the opening of classes on October 5, the Department continues to deliver quality education to the vulnerable, marginalized and out of school youth and adults who want to finish their elementary and high school education. Different distance learning modalities – modular, online, television and radiobased instruction learning – are set up by the Department to ensure the safety of learners amid the pandemic and these are nothing new to

ALS students because they are used to learning from modules at their own phase. Policy reforms led to higher number of learners passing the ALS accreditation and equivalency test yearly, equating to 56 percent compared to the average number of passers per year from 2005 to 2015. ALS is a parallel learning system in the Philippines that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction. When one does not have or cannot access formal education in schools, ALS is an alternate or substitute. ALS includes both the nonformal and informal sources of knowledge and skills. ALS only requires learners to attend learning sessions based on the agreed schedule between the learners and the learning facilitators.

What will education like in 20 years? By IDA MARIA C. BERNAD, Teacher II Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

THE COVID-19 pandemic shows us that we cannot take the future of education for granted. By imagining alternative futures for education, we can better think through the outcomes, develop agile and responsive systems and plan for future shocks. As we begin a new year, it is traditional to take stock of the past in order to look forward, to imagine and plan for a better future. But the truth is that the future likes to surprise us. Schools open for business, teachers using digital technologies to augment, not replace traditional face to face teaching and indeed, even

students hanging out casually in groups - all things we took for granted this time last year: all things that flew out the window in the first months of 2020. To achieve our vision and prepare our education systems for the future, we have to consider not just the changes that appear most probable but also the ones that we are not expecting. Imagining alternative futures for education pushes us to think through plausible outcomes and helps agile responsive systems to develop. One thing is clear: participation in formal education continues to expand.

Surigao City and Tandag City. “Aside from the food packs, we are also packing a separate PHP2.1 million worth of food items composed of rice, canned goods, and noodles. These food items are still being packed at our warehouse,” Reyes said. Non-food items worth PHP13.4 million are also be-

ing prepared for distribution to evacuation centers in the different parts of the region, he added. These non-food items include kitchen kits, hygiene kits, laminated mats, and blankets. Reyes said the food and non-food items are part of the initial preparations being done by DSWD-13 to

Online tutoring By JEANNE TAHER-WALID Teacher III Iligan City National High School

THERE are few things more important than your child’s education. Today, parents have more resources than ever to ensure that they get the academic experiences they deserve. Online tutoring has emerged as one of the most effective solutions to the challenge of providing a comprehensive education for a child. The apparent decline of traditional academic standards, along with an increased focus on the part of parents to give their children a great education, has caused a boom in the private tutoring industry. Tutoring is expected to become ever more important in the coming years with the private tutoring market expected to reach over $102

billion by 2021. Online tutors – who don’t need to travel – are much more flexible and can work around your schedule. There almost nothing more convenient than learning online because study materials are always available and help is just moments away. Learning online also gives children a chance to develop skills that will be vital throughout their lives like the ability to effectively research and communicate online. Online tutoring is needed because many students go home from traditional classrooms not fully understanding what they learned and are expected to come back the next day to learn something new.

TEACHING IN THE NEW NORMAL By JESSICA A. MAAPE Teacher-I Opol Central School

As the demand for online learning increases, DepEd underscores the need for various sectors to work together in providing Internet services and connectivity to teachers who are the education sector’s very own frontliners amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for online learning is huge. It is very important that Internet service providers, telecommunications companies, LGUs and DICT work together in the spirit of Bayanihan to provide Internet services and connectivity to teachers who are ready to learn and be capacitated to facilitate learning under these very trying times. The desire to upskill ourselves and our excitement

over webinar sessions is testament of our resourcefulness and fortitude despite the lack of mobile coverage in our areas. The magnitude of teachers who have shown interest in learning ICTbased teaching is a testament of our commitment to learn new ways of teaching that will ensure the safety of our children. Until formal classes start using blended/distance learning approaches, teachers are expected to attend orientation and training activities on the utilization of the distance learning delivery modalities, prepare instructional materials and plan the organization of classes in consideration of the learning delivery modalities to be employed.

How technology is shaping the future of education By LIGAYA G. VENTE, Teacher III Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

T E C H NOLO G Y has transformed almost every aspect of our lives and now it seems that education systems around the world are due for an update. Educators are tapping into the digital revolution and adopting new technologies to help students reach their full potential but can they adapt quickly enough to prepare children for the changing future of work? Educators are foreseeing that interactive video is going to be important to education in the future. They anticipate self-paced curricula and they believe that video will play an important role in the personalization of education.

They are also interested in VR/AR and 360 videos. Over nine in ten educators are interested in the benefits of tech. One in three education professionals see video as a way to reach students who don’t have access to classroom learning. More than ever, students will need the ability to continue learning new skills throughout their lives. From 1985 to 2014, use of IT more than doubled in OECD countries and it’s still growing. Students need digital skills to succeed. Technology provides a way to show students a wide range of opportunities.

immediately respond to any emergencies when Auring strikes Caraga. The DSWD-13 Quick Response Teams (QRTs) have already been activated since Thursday for monitoring activities in the different parts of the region, he added. The storm, as of 11 a.m. Friday, was spotted 535 kilometers (km) east southeast of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur

with a maximum sustained winds of 95 km/hour near the center and gustiness of up to 115 km/h, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said. It is expected to make landfall on Sunday in the eastern portion of the Caraga Region, the weather bureau added. (PNA)

Utility By RICHER S. AMPER

UTILITY workers are responsible for cleaning and maintaining school premises and equipment. Their job is to maintain the upkeep of school facilities, repair broken equipment, inspect finished projects and comply with health and safety regulations. As a utility worker, you will be responsible for cleaning assigned areas inside and outside of the property, repairing maintenance tools, performing basic landscaping duties and inspecting utility projects. You will also be required to maintain stock levels and comply with health and safety regulations. To ensure success as a utility worker, you must have extensive knowledge of cleaning and landscaping equipment, manual dexterity

and good physical strength. A top-class utility worker must be a jack of all trades who is able to clean and landscape, fix lights, repair equipment and maintain a safe working area. A utility worker takes verbal and written instructions from school principals and maintenance officers, clean assigned work areas inside and outside of the property, perform basic landscaping duties including tree trimming, weeding and watering of plants, order and maintain cleaning supplies and maintenance equipment, conduct basic repairs on landscaping and maintenance equipment, replace light fittings and broken globes and ensure the safe handling and storage of volatile cleaning liquids and gasoline.

Alternative Learning System (ALS): Empowering Out-of-School Youth By JERRY AKUT UY Teacher II/District ALS Coordinator District of Laguindingan

The vision of ALS or Alternative Learning System in the Philippines is to empower Filipino out-of-school youth (OSYs) and adults to continue to learn on their own so they may improve their quality of life and that of their family, community (barangay, city) and country. Its mission is to provide these people learning opportunities by which they may gain knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that will enable them to think critically and creatively, act innovatively and humanely and achieve their learning goals in order to become a contributing member of Filipino society. That is why ALS is the answer to the basic education

needs of those not willing or could not go back to formal school for various reasons. Poor OSY children and youth have special learning needs brought about by their deficient cognitive experiences and lack of psycho-social skills that must be understood by all those who will be involved in their education. ALS holds considerable promise of becoming a vehicle for allowing some early school levers an alternative avenue to basic education or if appropriate, a means to return to the formal system. Pre-testing is done through the administration of the Philippines Educational Placement Test to determine where learners should begin.

Go noted that the nature of their work keeps journalists exposed to the virus. “They must be at the top priority, just like our uniformed men,” he said. Meanwhile, Go said he and President Rodrigo Duterte are willing to be vaccinated in public to allay fears over the vaccine’s safety and efficacy. “We are just waiting for the arrival of the safe and effective vaccine and we are also waiting for the clearance of his doctor’s as to what vaccine will fit the President’s age and health,” he added.

Philippine ID.” The agency also addressed some frequently asked questions about the initiative, one of which is the priority given to lowincome households. “They are identified as the priority sector so that it would be easier for them to open a bank account or e-money accounts which they will use in accessing financial assistance from the government in times of need,” PSA-11 said, adding that low-income household registrants are listed in the Listahanan 3 of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Still, the agency made it clear that the general public would be served in the latter part of the year until 2022, the projected timeline for when all Filipino citizens and resident aliens who are interested in the national ID are already registered. Though national ID is not mandatory, PSA-11 said it would be much easier to transact with any government or private entity by using a single national ID. There are two steps for

registration with the National ID, first of which is Step 1 that involves the pre-registration is the recording of 10 key demographic information of an individual: complete name, sex, birthday, place of birth, blood type, address, citizenship status, marital status, contact number, and email address. Step 2 entails getting biometric information from an individual: a front-facing photograph, a full set of fingerprints, and iris scan. Signed into law by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in August 2018, Republic Act 11055, or the Philippine Identification System Act, aims to establish a single national ID for all Filipinos and resident aliens. The national ID shall be a valid proof of identity that shall be a means of simplifying public and private transactions, enrollment in schools, and the opening of bank accounts. It will also boost efficiency, especially in dealing with government services where people will only need to present one ID during transactions. (PNA)

It will have a structural height of 172 meters high, with an architectural design inspired by the best of Cebuano creativity and craftsmanship, and with sustainability as one of its cornerstones having been conceptualized to use energy and resources efficiently and responsibly. Groundbreaking of the LEED-registered Masters Tower Cebu is slated for the second quarter of 2021. CLI is aiming for the building’s LEED Gold certification. “This project is the

culmination of our learnings as a full-line developer catering to a range of markets in one of the most dynamic regions of the country,” disclosed Jose Soberano III, CLI CEO. “We want to build this project for Cebu, to show our positive outlook for this growth city,” he adds. Following the firm’s double-digit growth in 2020 despite the pandemic, Soberano disclosed that Masters Tower Cebu looks forward to the upsurge of the local economy and the return of international travellers to the South. The tower’s office spaces from the 8th to the 12th floor anticipate the needs of locators who value efficiency and sustainability and keenly follow global trends.

The spaces will highlight horizontal louvers to reduce solar heat by almost 70% and to create a comfortable work environment. In addition to the louvers that reflect Cebuano craftsmanship, sky gardens in every floor and throughout the LEED-registered building will enhance the wellbeing of its occupants. Sustainability will further be reflected in the design of the 14th to the 32nd floors which will house the luxury hotel with 195 guest rooms, a grand ballroom, 2 restaurants, executive lounge, meeting rooms, roof deck, swimming pool, gym and spa. A sunlit Sofitel Cebu City sky lobby on the 16th floor will maximize natural lighting through the use of an internal atrium. Guest rooms enhanced by the greenery from the gardens on each floor will create a retreat within the city. Finally, the roof deck will offer 360-degree views of Cebu and its surroundings. Soberano explained that Masters Tower Cebu is part of CLI’s growing hotel portfolio in partnership with a number of global hotel chains that will be significantly contributing to its revenues in the next three to four years. He emphasized: “We are optimistic that the hospitality industry will bounce back particularly in the Visayas and Mindanao where there is high potential for more international hotel players and tourism demands for quality hospitality experiences. Masters Tower Cebu ensures that CLI will be a key player in that space, and be in the forefront of the industry’s recovery.”
