Moreno breaks ground of 25-bed Oro hospital

By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro will soon be the only city in the country that operates more than one hospital.

This, after Mayor Oscar Moreno broke ground the 25-bed

Cagayan de Oro City HospitalTablon last Thursday, expecting to cater to the patients residing in the eastern part of the city once it operates.

This will be the third hospital owned by the city government.

The first, JR Borja General Hos-

pital, has been in existence for more than 50 years. The second is under construction in Lumbia.

According to city health infrastructure in-charge Dr. William Bernardo, the Tablon city hospital will mirror that with the Cagayan de Oro City Hospital - Lumbia,

which will cater to people living in the western part of the city.

The hospital at Tablon, which will be initially classified as a Level I medical facility once it operated early next year, is expected to be upgraded into the Level III category, according to

The three-level hospital costs around P50 million to construct, all funded by the city government although Bernardo said that they will ask assistance from the Department of Health (DOH)

APA, Siargao Island--Surigao del Norte Gov. Sol F. Matugas wants to shut down operations of 99 resorts in Siargao, particularly in General Luna, which do not have Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).

According to the governor, General Luna alone has a total of 124 resorts, of which only 25 have secured ECCs from the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).

But she allayed fears that Siargao would become the next Boracay. President Rodrigo Duterte threatened earlier this month that he would shut down Boracay as it has become a “cesspool” as its sewerage problem is wreaking havoc on the

“I am a Siargaonon and I was born and raised in General Luna. I will not allow this problem on the environment to exist in my hometown,” Matugas said during a meeting with tourism stakeholders held in Kapitolyo Nan Siargao in Dapa last Tuesday afternoon.

Moro CSO leaders acknowledge possibility of ‘watered down’ BBL but…

By Carolyn O. Arguillas, MindaNews

MARAWI City--Leaders of Bangsamoro civil society organizations acknowledge the possibility of a “watered down” version of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) but hope the law

that Congress assured will be passed later this month is “still acceptable” or they will oppose its ratification.

“I think people are saying it’s not going to be absolutely the BTC (Bangsamoro

See hospital, page 11

Transition Commission)drafted BBL. It will be watered down. The most important thing we want to see is how much? So the bottomline is, yun bang pag water down is still acceptable in the sense that will it still work for the interest

of the Bangsamoro?” asked Guiamel Alim, Executive Director of the Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS).

“Any law that is not acceptable and will not redound to the benefit of the Bangsamoro should be op-

posed. Why should we allow a law that is not good for us? Alim told MindaNews.

“The most important thing is that we put up our position. Whether it will be watered down or not is no longer in our hands,” See leaders, page 11

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Misamis Oriental Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano claimed on Friday that he possesses a document proving that his accuser before the Ombudsman, Ernesto Molina, is a city government employee, strengthening his theory that Mayor Oscar Moreno was the one behind the filing of the administrative complaint against him.

“Sa akong nahuptan nga papel, kini si Ernesto Molina empleyado sa City Hall isip us aka Admin Aide 1 nga nadawat niaadtong Enero 3 ning tuig,” Emano said in a press statement.

This paper asked for confirmation from the City Information Office on the veracity of Emano’s claim but no return messages were made as of press time.

In the complaint, Molina of Barangay 35 charged Emano of nepotism, malversation, unlawful appointment, grave abuse of authority and grave misconduct in connection with former Cagayan de Oro Councilor See accuser, page 10

Davao mayor urges communicators to defeat all forms of misinformation DAVAO City--Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio lauded the holding of the National Information Convention (NIC) here as she urged communicators to contribute in defeating all forms of misinformation in the country.

Duterte-Carpio expresses hope that the planning sessions would pave the way to encourage communicators to be engaged with the communication policy plan intended to eliminate redundancy and to concentrate information dissemination.

In her speech read by Councilor Ma. Belen Acosta, the mayor said such initiative together with the proposed Comprehensive Communications Committee analysing public opinion would once and for all defeat all forms of misinformation.

She is hoping that the communicators would help shape a well-informed citizenry.

“Today marks a history in the sphere of communications as you make your first installment in the investment of building of a well-informed citizenry,” Duterte-Carpio said. “This is responsible information.

This is effective communication. This is genuine change.”

The mayor noted that communication serves as a clutch of the government’s vehicle that allows its advocacies to keep rolling

Dads to look into proliferation of advertising billboards in Oro CAGAYAN de Oro Councilor Reuben R. Daba, chair of the City Council committee on social services, expressed concern over the proliferation of billboards along main roads and national highways. He said these cause serious urban problems in the city.

In his special report during the regular session Monday presided over

by Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin V. Uy, Daba said outdoor advertisements have brought dramatic changes in ur-

ban living since they are everywhere. The size and dimensions tend to block or obscure the natural view and scenic backdrop, skyline and cityscape, he pointed out.

“Though we understand the need to aggressively promote product and services, that is, graphic, vivid and bold on a massive scale to make people be aware of them,” he reported.

Daba cited the need to regulate advertising billboards for the benefit

of small businesses and at the same time, for the city’s revenues.

“Dako kaayo og kasubo kay atong mga kaigsoonan nga naa diha sa mga sari-sari store gabayad gayud unya atong mga kaigsoonan nga dagko kaayo ang signage medyo dili kaayo sufficient sa atong panudlanan.” he stressed.

“Ug makahatag sila give and take lang kay dako kaayo na’g tabang sa atong social services,” he added.

As t his de velop e d,

Councilor Daba proposed the amendment of the existing billboard ordinance.

“But at the same time take advantage of whatever revenue the city might derive from them as they undeniably have become a big industry,” he added.

Vice Mayor Uy referred the special report to the joint committees on ways and means and on finance, budget and appropriations chaired by Councilors George Goking and Edna Dahino, respectively. (JBD)

towards good governance.

She, however, reminded that government communication is beyond informing the public.

“It involves advocating the government’s thrusts and engaging the citizens through effective and responsible communication," she added.

Meantime, the mayor thanked the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) for selecting Davao City as host of NIC. She also urged participants to experience the city through its wide array of exciting eco-adventure pursuits, gastronomic delights, and shopping and leisure activities.

“We invite you to discover why we say that life is here,” she said.

NIC opened in Davao City Monday with close to 2,000 participants from different regions nationwide.

With the theme, “Spurring Development and Empowering communities through Information”, the event is aimed at strengthening partnership between the public and private sector communicators.

This will also serve as the springboard to building a movement wherein communicators model responsible sharing of information and use their platforms to inspire civic engagement.

Volunteer docs provide health care for Siargao Island communities

By Roel Catoto MindaNews

SANTA Monica, Siargao Island--A screaming 12-year-old boy, his legs flailing, is held prone on the chair set up at the Santa Monica Health Center as a dentist extracts a tooth that has decayed beyond the gum line.

The boy will have two teeth pulled in all, a victim of the common case of tooth decay among young people in the island.

Finally, after an excruciating few minutes John steps away from the room inside the clinic. “It’s all done,” he says, breathing deeply and shaking the tension from his arms.

A few minutes later, the doctor high-fives John before heading back home.

At the municipal gymnasium, it’s all packed with people from different communities mostly from this town.

Few dozens were in the line seeking dental help for the two-day medical mission brought by Island Doctors, a group of doctors from Manila whose thrust is to carry out medical and dental assistance to island communities.

“We are thankful to the Island Doctors for their good deeds in the town,” said Dr. Arlene C. Sebastian, the municipal health officer of the local government unit of Santa Monica.

People who had come to the municipal gymnasium to receive dental treatment and medical care watched as cars with doctors, volunteers, and medicines arrived.

For two days, from Feb. 17-18, some touriststurned-volunteers from Manila and Canada came to the town to help facilitate the health services.

“We came to know that there’s a medical and dental mission in the town so we dropped by and offered our free time for the success of this good health mission,” said Canadian Manon Lucie.

Santa Monica resident Victoria M. Platil, who sought medical attention on her ailing eyesight, said they rarely see an activity like this in the town.

At least 433 people, mostly children and old people, were given free consultations and medicines and another 88 people were given dental care, according to Dr. Sebastian.

Corruption redux

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche ONE need not be an expert, nor an academic to gauge corruption in many, if not most offices in the bureaucracy these days.

It all redounds to common sense from common taxpayers like you and me.

Case in point is the utter disregard of public safety in national highways where street lights are nowhere to be found like the newly opened coastal road along Macajalar Bay.

Also disgusting is the country’s traffic mess in key urban centers including Cagayan de Oro, so monstrous albeit horrendous, such that it reflects how inept our government in addressing the problem.

The Crusade for Clean Government, a volunteer watch dog sees corruption happening in high places and still lurking into the veins of public service.

In fact, corruption remains pervasive as ever despite the effort of the Duterte administration to curb this malpractice in its more than a year of its ascendancy.

And Malacanang pro-

tégés, lured by the glitters of gold, had betrayed -one after the other -- their pledged of incorruptibility.

Corruption in government is as large as Kong in the movie Skull Island, so packed with immense power and dominance. The fight against corruption is indeed a war within, not without.

This is a fight of man’s indefatigable greed, where power corrupts, and where the powerful is corrupted in high places and down to the last man in public service.

The fight against the illegal drug trade continues yet, there is one thing that needs to be addressed in earnest -- fast and furious,

Ruffy Magbanua

and that is the campaign against graft and corruption in all fronts in the bureaucracy.

The Crusade for Clean Government is up in arms against these monsters of public funds.

Abyss as it were, the fight to clean the bureaucracy is without let up and unabated, yet it remains one of Duterte’s headaches. (ruffy44_ph2000@yahoo. com)

Have my say

Nobody is perfect?

MANY of us believe perfectionism is a positive. You may count me in.

More often than I’d like to admit, something seemingly inconsequential will cause the same feeling to rear its head again. Something as small as accidentally squashing the makeup I was bringing my first girlfriend’s family for Christmas can tumble around in my mind for several days, accompanied by occasional voices like “How stupid!” And “You should have known better.”

Falling short of a bigger goal, even when I know achieving it would be nearimpossible, can temporarily flatten me. When a former agent told me that she knew I was going to write a book someday but that the particular idea I’d pitched her didn’t suit the market, I felt deflated in a gut-punching way that went beyond disappointment.

The negative drowned out the positive. “You’re never going to write a book,” my internal voice said. “You’re not good enough.” That voice didn’t care that this directly contradicted what the agent actually said. And, up to now, I didn't finish my first book, yet....

That’s the thing about perfectionism. It takes no prisoners.

If I’ve struggled with perfectionism, I’m far from alone. The tendency starts young – and it’s becoming more common. Thomas Curran and Andrew Hill’s recent meta-analysis of rates of perfectionism from 1989 to 2016, the first study to compare perfectionism across generations, found significant increases among more recent undergraduates in the US, UK and Canada.

In other words, the average college student last year was much more likely to have perfectionistic tendencies than a student in the 1990's or early 2000's.

It's heading toward an epidemic and public health

issue. It's a great quotation from Katie Rasmussen.

“As many as two in five kids and adolescents are perfectionists,” says Katie, who researches child development and perfectionism at West Virginia University.

“We’re starting to talk about how it’s heading toward an epidemic and public health issue.”

The rise in perfectionism doesn’t mean each generation is becoming more accomplished. It means we’re getting sicker, sadder and even undermining our own potential.

Here is another great example: a perfectionist, French Claude Monet often destroyed his paintings in a temper while saying, ‘My life has been nothing but a failure'.

Perfectionism, after all, is an ultimately self-defeating way to move through the world. It is built on an excruciating irony: making, and admitting, mistakes is a necessary part of growing and learning and being human. It also makes you better at your career and relationships and life in general. By avoiding mistakes at any cost, a perfectionist can make it harder to reach their own lofty goals.

But the drawback of perfectionism isn’t just that it holds you back from being your most successful, productive self. Perfectionistic tendencies have been linked to a laundry list of clinical issues: depression and anxiety (even in children), self-harm, social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, hoarding, dyspepsia, chronic headaches, and, most damning of all, even early mortality and suicide.

“It’s something that cuts across everything, in terms of psychological problems,”

says Sarah Egan, a senior research fellow at the Curtin University in Perth who specializes in perfectionism, eating disorders and anxiety.

Culturally, I learned, we often see perfectionism as a positive. Even saying you have perfectionistically tendencies can come off as a coy compliment to yourself; it’s practically a stock answer to the “What’s your worst trait?” question in job interviews. (Past employers, now you know! I wasn’t just being cute).

This is where perfectionism gets complicated – and controversial. Some researchers say there is adaptive, or ‘healthy’ perfectionism (characterized by having high standards, motivation and discipline) versus a maladaptive, or ‘unhealthy’ version (when your best never seems good enough and not meeting goals frustrates you). In one study of more than 1,000 Chinese students, researchers found that gifted students were more perfectionistic in the adaptive ways. (Maladaptive perfectionists, on the other hand, were more likely to be non-gifted). And while research shows that maladaptive attributes like beating yourself up for mistakes or feeling like you can’t live up to parental expectations make you more vulnerable to depression, some other studies have shown that ‘adaptive’ aspects like striving for achievement have no effect at all or may even protect you.

It is difficult to tell who is motivated and conscientious and who is a perfectionist. In my daily teaching at the University of Southeastern Philippines in Davao City, I meet the student who works hard and gets a poor mark. If she/her tells herself: “I’m disappointed, but it’s okay; I’m still a good person overall,” that’s healthy. If the message is: “I’m a failure.

Klaus Doring

I’m not good enough,” that’s perfectionism.

That inner voice criticizes different things for different people – work, relationships, tidiness, fitness. My own tendencies may differ greatly from somebody else’s. It can take someone who knows me well to pick up on them.

(When I messaged one of my friends I was writing this story, he immediately sent back a long line of laughing emojis).

Perfectionists can make smooth sailing into a storm, a brief ill wind into a category-five hurricane. At the very least, they perceive it that way. And, because the ironies never end, the behaviors perfectionists adapt ultimately, actually, do make them more likely to fail.

Thinking of perfectionism, makes me think of my own childhood peppered with avoiding (or starting and quitting) almost every sport there was. If I wasn’t adept at something almost from the get-go, I didn’t want to continue – especially if there was an audience watching. In fact, multiple studies have found a correlation between perfectionism and performance anxiety even in children as young as 10.

Mental health problems aren’t just caused by perfectionism; some of these problems can lead to perfectionism, too. One recent study, for example, found that over a one-year period, college students who had social anxiety were more likely to become perfectionists – but not vice versa.

When it comes to the most dramatic example, suicide, numerous studies also have found that See perfect, page 11

TURNING POINT:

Resuscitating Boracay

By William R. Adan MindaNews

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental-President Duterte’s threat to close Boracay if it is not cleaned after six months was beyond everyone’s expectation. It scared the hell out of the island’s tenants. The President’s order to Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to spearhead the cleanup and to close all establishments that are found to have violated waste management and other environmental laws is unprecedented. It is a political will that may become a showcase in the country’s political landscape once the tourism jewel island is objectively found healthy and clean after the prescribed period.

The beautiful island of Boracay, a world-known tourist destination, was an environmental disaster waiting to happen. As early as the ’90s there were already studies on the alarming levels of pathogenic bacteria, E. Coli, in the island’s coastal waters. The bacteria that mostly come from human feces can cause gastrointestinal illness (stomach pains and diarrhea), pneumonia, ear infection and may reportedly damage the kidneys and other internal organs. It may also cause shellfish poisoning and

cholera outbreak.

Doubtless, the proliferation of the pathogenic bacteria is primarily caused by the release of sewage from septic tanks and other waste holding systems through leaks into groundwater that flow into the sea through sand and limestone. In fact, some establishments nonchalantly release their sewage directly into the sea via pipelines. This short sight and similar greed common in the island is now killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Today the coastal waters stink and the smell of human waste wafts the air. The luxuriant growth of green algae along the beach indicates that the waters are already heavy with nutrients that do not only endanger the health of humans but also of demersal fish, shellfish and crustaceans.

The pollution of the waters is also damaging the health of and may eventually kill the corals in the area.

Obviously the carrying capacity of the island has long been exceeded. Not only the tourists have multiplied several times over the years, but also the migrant population from different places who settled in the tiny island, attracted by its booming business oppor-

tunities. Commercial establishments and housing units have competed for constricting space, sacrificing sanitation and health concerns.

The local governments were blind to the worsening plight of the island thinking only of the resources that were coming into the official coffer and into their own pockets. On the other hand, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Department of Tourism (DOT) and other responsible agencies of the government had been hot and cold on the issue, and at no time had shown serious concern and will to defuse the ticking environmental time bomb.

Indeed, the surprise move of the President is a welcome respite to the long history of neglect and inaction of local and national officials on Boracay.

Nonetheless, the cleanup ought not be a palliative measure. Sustaining a clean and healthy Boracay demands that all sewage and other waste holding tanks should be made leak-proof and the contents of these tanks are regularly emptied and moved by barges outside the islands. For the purpose, a huge waste holding system or several of such

kind may be constructed with the strength of water dams in mainland Panay. A team of agricultural scientists may be commissioned to convert the sewage together with other organic wastes into fertilizers, akin to the midnight fertilizer of China, to benefit farmers.

Solid wastes should likewise be transported to and processed in the mainland to unburden the tiny island.

The groundwater in the island is by now heavily contaminated and unsafe for human use. Thus, drilling of wells may now be prohibited. In its lieu, if it is not done yet, the island should be connected to the water system of any nearby water-rich municipality in the mainland.

It is hoped that the drive to clean and rehabilitate the island will not suffer a ningas cogon end, that is, a thing abandoned and forgotten after a while when nobody is watching anymore and talking about it.

It is everybody’s responsibility to always remain vigilant and keep a watchful eye on the coveted jewel. (MindaViews is the opinion section of MindaNews.

Think A Minute

Lifelong pleasure

THINK a minute.

A father was outside with his son when he saw two geese.

Wanting to teach his son about true love and faithfulness, he said: “You know, son, geese mate for life.” His son looked concerned and asked: “Don’t they do anything else, Dad?” One of God’s greatest gifts to us is sex. But like everything else, there’s a right way and a wrong way to use it. So since God invented sex, He’s the One who knows the correct purpose for it. This is why we need to understand His plan for this lifelong pleasure.

First, sex produces life itself. The fact that through this simple act of love other human beings are born with souls that live forever is both awesome and scary! In this way, sex is the greatest power we humans possess—so we must be very careful to use it correctly or we’ll destroy not just our life but many other lives, even generations after us.

Secondly, sex is personal.

No one is just a body. God made us in His likeness with a mind, emotions, and soul. So the act of sex is not just physical. Just using someone’s body to give you physical pleasure and satisfaction is what animals do. A recent study in a certain Pacific country showed that each person had an average of 57 different sex partners during their lifetime. That is not God’s plan and purpose

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

for sex. Real, satisfying sex is expressing your deepest love to the one person in the world whom you’ve chosen to responsibly live with every day of your life.

Third, sex is permanent.

God’s plan for sex is not just a one-night stand, but a pleasure for a lifetime. It only makes sense that through the years of love and intimacy, the pleasure just gets better with your wife or husband because you get to know each other much better.

As the saying goes: “Love is like wine: it gets better with age.” Love just grows deeper as you grow together through both the good times and the bad. That’s the only kind of love that satisfies and lasts.

If you haven’t been using sex the way it’s made to be enjoyed as a lifelong pleasure that’s productive, personal, and permanent, you can ask Jesus to forgive you. Then ask Him to change you and help you to control and use your sexual desires rightly, so you’ll learn to enjoy this gift from God with the one you love for a lifetime.

Just Think a Minute.

MANILA -- The government needs to improve targeting of social protection programs aimed to uplift the lives of the poor and the vulnerable, according to a report from the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).

In an Economic Issue of the Day, PIDS information officer Rejinel G. Valencia said it is imperative to fix the country’s current social protection measures, while noting the good performance of programs such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).

Valencia also cited the AlkanSSSya program of the Social Security System (SSS) and Private Education Student Financial Assistance (PESFA), a scholarship program of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority

Peso back in 51-level vs. USD; PSEi slips anew MANILA -- The Philippine peso ended the week strong against the US dollar unlike the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) which fell for the third consecutive day due to risk-off sentiment.

The local unit finished the week at 51.89 to a dollar from the previous day’s 52.10, which a trader pointed to decline in US Treasury yields.

Trading is also light because investors are still mulling about the details of the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting last Janu-

ary, which pointed to more rate hikes for the year, the trader said.

Market players and economists project three rate hikes this year as monetary officials continue to be optimistic on the rise of US’ inflation rate to within the Fed’s target of 2 percent.

For the day, the local unit opened at 52.00, better than its 52.13 start a day ago.

It improved mid-trade to 51.82 but also slipped to 52.05, resulting in an average of 51.89.

Volume for the day reached USD656.3 million, lower than the USD668.4

million a day ago.

Next week, the currency pair is seen to trade between 51.80 and 52.20.

On the other hand, PSEi fell 0.56 percent, or 48.01 points, to 8,467.56 points, which a trader said was counter to the performance of its peers in the region.

A trader said investors continued to be worried by the developments overseas, which is a factor for any movement in rates, particularly in the US. The broader All Shares tracked the main index and declined 0.47 percent, or 23.63 points, to 5,063.56

points.

Most of the sectors also ended on the red, led by the Financials, which fell 1.11 percent; followed by the Property, 0.95 percent; Industrial, 0.83 percent; Services, 0.09 percent; and Holding Firms, 0.02 percent.

Only the Mining and Oil finished with gains after rising 1.15 percent.

Volume for the day reached 3.26 billion shares amounting to PHP9.2 billion.

Losers continue to surpass gainers at 122 to 91 while 39 shares were unchanged. (PNA)

EU Parliament tackles PH report on GSP+ The European Union (EU) Parliament has tackled the key issues in the Philippines as part of the monitoring of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+).

EU Ambassador to the Philippines Franz Jessen told reporters that the bloc’s legislative body meeting on Feb. 20 “went well”, wherein the reports of countries benefitting the GSP+ were discussed.

In the working document of the European Commission for the Philippines, it assessed the country’s compliance with the GSP+ obligations, particularly adhering to the 27 international conventions concerning with human rights, labor rights, environmental protection and climate change, and good governance.

Aside from the Philippines, the EU Parliament

assessed other GSP+ beneficiaries such as Armenia, Bolivia, Cabo Verde, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay, and Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, Jessen has welcomed the development in the country’s exports to the economic bloc due to the GSP+.

“On trade front, [I’m] quite happy with the development,” the EU envoy

here said.

In December 2014, the EU upgraded the GSP benefits of the Philippines to GSP+, which already expanded the inclusion of products with zero tariff from 2,442 under the regular GSP to 6,274 goods in the GSP+.

Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed that EU’s share to See report, page 10

Consumption, investment to boost economy in 2018: S&P report Debt watcher S&P forecasts consumption and investments to regain their foothold as the main growth drivers of the Philippine economy this 2018.

It projects the domestic economy to expand by 6.5 percent, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), this year.

This growth projection is, however, lower than the government’s seven to eight percent target for 2018-22.

“As the Q4 figures show, the resurgence of private household spending came just in time, as electronics exports were no longer able to prevent the usual negative contribution of net exports to growth,” S&P said in a report.

Last year, the domestic economy expanded by 6.7 percent, within the government’s 6.5-7.5 percent target.

Data from the Philippine Statistics Office (PSA) show that growth of the economy got its boost from manufacturing, trade, and real estate, renting and business activities in the last quarter alone.

Among the sectors, industry registered the fastest rise at 7.3 percent followed

by Services, 6.8 percent; and Agriculture, 2.4 percent, which in turn, made a turn-around after a 1.3 percent drop a year ago.

S&P said growth of the economy remained resilient even at the latter part of last year after the recovery of private consumption, which contributed less in the first three quarter of 2017.

“Interestingly, net exports detracted from growth despite the ongoing boom in electronics exports,” it noted.

Meanwhile, the credit rater is on the lookout for more developments on the country’s current account, which registered small deficits in some months of 2017 due to continued higher importation as needed by the sustained expansion of the domestic economy.

The study said the current account is also affected by slower remittance inflows and higher energy prices.

“Although we do not expect a significant widening of the deficit under our baseline, such as scenario would increase the Philippines' exposure to potential sudden capital outflows in times of market panic,” it added. (PNA)

Mayor Sara to decide whether to seek reelection or run for Congress

By Antonio L. Colina IV MindaNews

D

AVAO CITY – Mayor Sara Duterte, who made a joke about running for Congress because she wants to become House Speaker during a gathering of businessmen last January 26 at the SMX Convention Center Davao, announced on Friday that she would either seek for reelection as local chief executive or run for the lower House in next year’s midterm elections.

Duterte made the pronouncement during a press conference organized by her newly created regional political party Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) at the Royal Mandaya Hotel, a day after she lashed out at Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez on social media for allegedly labeling her as part of the opposition for leading HNP. Although “everything is up in the air right now,” Duterte made it clear that she would not gun for senator.

“We will discuss with the party what is best for Davao Region. There are only two paths for me to choose, but definitely not senator. It’s just city mayor or Congress,” she said.

In her keynote message during the 50th Annual Installation of Officers and Board of Trustees of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. on January 26, Duterte said she would rather stay in the city than run for a national position. But she said, in jest, that she considers running for the House of Representatives.

“I want to work and live here in Davao City. But you know I always tell the people when they ask me kung ano tatakbohan ko sinasabi ko talaga na magcongresswoman kasi gusto ko maging Speaker of the House (what position will I run, I always tell that I want to be a congresswoman because I want to be Speaker of the House),” she said.

The mayor chairs the HNP, and co-founded by four governors of the Davao Region – Davao Occidental’s Claude Bautista (president), Davao Oriental’s Nelson Dayanghirang (vice president), Davao del Norte’s Antonio del Rosario (secretary general), and Compostela See decide, page 9

Mayor Sara willing to talk to Alvarez even though ‘we are not friends’ DAVAO CITY – After a squabble stemming from alleged accusation that she is part of the opposition,

Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said on Friday she is willing to sit down with Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, the

strongest ally of President Rodrigo R. Duterte in the Lower House, but added there’s no reason for them

to reconcile because “we are not friends in the first place.”

Duterte told a press conference organized by the newly created Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) at the Royal Mandaya Hotel Davao that she has no issues with Alvarez, except that the Speaker attacked her first.

The HNP held a first general assembly on same day at the hotel with around 500 participants from all over the region attending.

“Hindi kami magkaibigan so there’s no need na magbalikan kami as magkaibigan (We are not friends so I think there’s no need to patch things up between us) because we are not friends in the first place,” she said.

Duterte said what irked her were remarks made by the Speaker that she acted alone without the blessing of her father in creating the HNP and that the new

regional political party is product of political dynasty.

She urged the Speaker to pass an Anti-Political Dynasty measure.

She said a mayor informed her that the Speaker threatened to take anyone joining the HNP as opposition members. Alvarez later denied saying those remarks.

“Ang sinabi nya na (What he said was) because HNP does not have the approval of the President, whoever joins HNP is opposition,” Duterte said.

Duterte refused to disclose the name of the mayor because he was not around during the first general assembly and “because he is very afraid of Speaker Alvarez.”

Duterte said she personally informed her father that they would form HNP along with four other governors of the region.

Valley’s Jayvee Tyron Uy (treasurer).

Saying she has no plans of joining Partido Demokratiko PilipinoL akas ng Bayan (PDPLaban), Duterte said they have forged HNP to push for what is good for Davao Region.

Duterte added she would no longer run under Hugpong sa Tawong L u n g s o d ( Hu g p o n g ) , a lo c a l p olit i c a l p ar t y t hat her fat her, President Rodrigo R. Duterte, founded.

She said she has the bl e s s i ng of h e r f at h e r i n c re at i ng a re g i on a l political party, even the use of the name “Hugpong,” apparently borrowed from her father’s local political party.

She clarified that there’s no conflict leading a new regional political party because Hugpong is a local party and not a regional party.

“Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod of Davao is a local party. We did not touch Hugpong and their local parties as well in t he i r re sp e c t ive prov inces but the agreement is when we run, we run

under HNP. If there are local parties, they will r u n u n d e r H N P,” s h e said.

Duterte said they are preparing to file a petition for accreditation as a regional party before the Commission on Elections (COMELEC).

Duterte said all members would have to run under the HNP umbrella a s s h e e x p l a i n e d t h at their members would have to give up their existing memberships with other regional parties.

Duterte said she asked permission from her father before they creat e d H N P, a l on g w it h f ou r ot h e r g ov e r n or s , except for Davao del Su r ‘s D ou g l a s C ag a s , w ho has yet to decide on joining.

Cagas is still welcome to join HNP, she said.

Del Rosario, who resigned from Liberal party in November 2017, said it’s not new when members of coalition parties will run against each o t h e r du r i n g e l e c t i o n period.

But he added they have the support of most of t he i nc u mb e nt and former officials in Davao del Norte.

For his part, although

there was no conflict on joining a regional party, Dayanghirang gave up his membership with LP to focus on his membership with HNP to advance the “sustainable peace and development programs for Region 11.”

He claime d to have the 100-percent support of the local chief executives in Davao Oriental an d t h at 1 2 0 of f i c i a l s from his province have signified interest to be members of HNP. Bautista said if he files his candidacy under HNP, it’s considered resigned from the Nationalist People’s Coalition.

Uy said he resigned from PDP-Laban on Friday morning “to focus more on the region and help live up to the vision” of HNP. ​​He claimed he has the support of the majority of the local politicians in Compostela Valley.

Duterte invited 2nd District Rep. Mylene Garcia, who is not a member of any local or regional party, to join HNP but admitted no invitation was sent to 1st District Rep. Karlo Nograles and 3rd District Rep. Alberto Ungab. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Failure not an option to make PH safer for media: PTFoMS

Accuser... from page 1

President “Prexy Elipe’s” status as head of the Misamis Oriental Integrated Sports Center (MOISC). Elipe is the husband of Emano’s sister, Nadya.

He was perpetually disqualified from holding public office in 2015 by the Ombudsman in an earlier unrelated case. That case is currently on appeal.

“Pending kini nga kaso ni Elipe ug aduna na silay apela niana. Wala sab balaod nga nagsulti nga dili mahimong mangalagad si Elipe,” Emano said.

On the issue of nepotism,

Emano said that he could not be held liable for it because it was not he who appointed Elipe into the position but the board of the MOISC which includes a representative from the city government who also voted for Elipe.

Emano said the filing of complaint against him was a diversion of the many cases that Moreno is facing, also before the Ombudsman.

“I can very well remember what he said. Sabi nya, kung yan gusto ng governors, okay lang. (He said, ‘if that’s what the governors want, it’s okay),” she said.

Duterte also made it clear that she is not joining Partido Demokratik Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan

(PDP-Laban), nor running under Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod (Hugpong), a local political party that her father founded.

“For sure, even coming from PDP, there are still conflicts among party members who will run for certain positions,” she said.

Duterte told Alvarez “you messed with the wrong girl” after he allegedly labeled the presidential daughter as a part of the opposition for leading a regional political party.

“Ano sabi mo in a crowd, ‘President iba siya, Speaker ako, I can always impeach him!’ And you call me opposition? Somebody should

really tell the President about the truth. Antay ka bukas, I have another story,” she on Thursday.

Duterte said the newly formed regional party has the blessing of her father and even the use of the word “Hugpong,” apparently copied from her father’s “Hugpong.”

The importance of teaching through relationships By: JULIET U. JORBAN

According to Stecy Goodman teaching was a formal affair, aligned with ideas of conventional professionalism that draw a very clear line between the teacher and the students. Teaching through relationships passes the student through that mystical threshold when formal knowledge leads to hidden knowledge. What is hidden is the process of discovery itself and the connections between thought, everyday life, and other seemingly unrelated ideas and disciplines. When students are able to make this connection via "teaching through relationships," they

begin to see themselves as co-learners along with their teachers, as well as with the greatest minds in history.

Putting It to Practice Getting to know the students' learning styles and where they are in terms of their knowledge, abilities, and potential. More importantly, it also means getting to know their interests, personality, and background.

For the teacher, this body of knowledge opens up the possibilities of growth and dramatic learning opportunities.

Much of what we know about learning through relationships has its origins in

the work of Lev Vygotsky, the child psychologist who asserted that learning is relational, and that language/ conversation is central to the relational aspects of learning. His emphasis on the role of community and how that facilitates the learning process.

The Philosophy of Martin Buber highlighted that consciousness itself only arises through relationship. Buber understood that the social framework of teaching is fundamental to how we learn and to the development of human culture in general. Buber was an early proponent of

the idea that the best way to teach a student is to see him or her not as an "it," but as a whole, complex, and empathetic human being.

As an educator teaching has a broad meaning and great impact of who you are as a teacher in front of your students. Emphasizing different goals and strategies that will connect between you and your learner to interact and build a better learning environment. It helps facilitate the possible connections you make. It alerts each student that he or she is seen as another being and, in response, makes them all more attentive.

Perfect... from page 4

perfectionism is a lethal contributor all on its own.

One found that perfectionism made depressed patients more likely to think about suicide even above and beyond feelings of hopelessness. A recent meta-analysis, the most complete on the suicide-perfectionism link to date, found that nearly every perfectionistic tendency – including being concerned over mistakes, feeling like you are never good enough, having critical parents, or simply having high personal standards – was correlated with thinking about suicide more frequently. (The two exceptions: being organized or demanding of others).

Some of those criteria, particularly pressure from parents and perfectionistic concerns, also were correlated with more suicide attempts.

In many ways, poorer health outcomes for perfectionists aren’t that surprising. “Perfectionists are pretty much awash with stress. Even when it’s not stressful, they’ll typically find a way to make it stressful,” says Gordon Flett, who has studied perfectionism for more than 30 years and whose assessment scale developed with Paul Hewitt is considered a gold standard.

Plus, he says, if your perfectionism finds an outlet in, say, workaholism, it’s unlikely you’ll take many breaks to relax – which we now know both our bodies and brains require for healthy functioning.

After all, many of us live in societies where the first question when you meet someone is what you do for a living. Where we are so literally valued for the quality and extent of our accomplishments that those achievements often correlate, directly, to our ability to pay rent or put food on the table. Where complete strangers weigh these onpaper values to determine everything from whether we can rent that flat or buy that car or receive that loan.

Where we then signal our access to those resources with our appearance – these shoes, that physique – and other people weigh that, in turn, to see if we’re the right person for a job interview or dinner invitation.

Fear of failure is getting magnified in other ways, too. Take social media: make a mistake today and your fear that it might be broadcast, even globally, is hardly irrational. At the same time, all of those glossy feeds reinforce unrealistic standards.

In my opinion, and I am not alone with it, it’s the idea that you don’t have to be perfect to be lovable or to be loved. It’s a work in progress.

And, what I’ve noticed too, is that, each time I’m able to replace criticizing and perfecting with compassion, I feel not only less stressed, but freer. Apparently, that’s not unusual.

who introduced eco-septic system in Siargao.

Wilson L. Trajico, regional director of EMB-Caraga, said he advised resorts that do not have ECCs to secure one or suffer the same fate as the resorts in Boracay.

“We will check every resort and validate them,” he said.

Engr. Michael Tuapes, clearance and permitting officer 2 of EMB-Caraga, told MindaNews that only resorts with floor area of at least 1,000 square meters are required to obtain ECC. But he added that smaller resorts should still secure a certificate of non-coverage.

But Abe Tolentino, president of Siargao Tourism Operators Association composed of at least 80 resorts, said shutting down the resorts is not the solution to the environmental issues.

He suggested instead that they be given a grace period to correct the wrong.

“We appeal to the government leaders here to work hand in hand to help conserve the island,” he said.

Tolentino said acknowledged that the main problem now is garbage.

Local surfers are worried over the planned closure of the resorts because they will be the ones to be affected.

“If resorts will be shut down, no one would come and we cannot feed out family,” said Prudencio Meras III, whose only job is teaching surfing lessons to tourists.

General Luna Mayor Jaime P. Rusillon strongly opposed the governor’s proposal, adding that there seems to be no problem with the resorts so far. But he agreed that mitigation measures should be put in place to protect the environment. (Roel N. Catoto / MindaNews)

ensure Meranaws are consulted in the rehabilitation of Marawi.

The two houses of Congress had announced they would pass the BBL on third and final reading before Congress goes on break from March 24 to May 13.

The House of Representatives is consolidating four Bangsmaoro bills, including the version drafted by the 21-member Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) while the Senate is also consolidating four bills, including the BTC version.

At the press conference that followed the Solidarity Peace Walk for Marawi last Monday, Alim said that “if civil society sees that it does not respond still to the needs (of the people) in the Bangsamoro then we might be inclined to oppose it.”

He said civil society organizations are doing their share in pushing Congress to pass the BTC-drafted version, through lobbying and conversations with members of Congress.

‘Not lower than ARMM’ The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has repeatedly said that the Bangsamoro should “not be lower than the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao” (ARMM) that it seeks to replace, and should comply with the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), the peace agreement that it signed with government on March 27, 2014.

President Rodrigo Duterte and members of Congress say the proposed law should not have provisions that raise constitutional questions. Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo under whose administration the government and MILF initialled the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD) in late July 2008 but whose formal

signing on August 5 was stopped by the Supreme Court a day earlier, told the public hearing in Cotabato City on February 15 that the law that they will pass should be one that will bring lasting peace and “papasa sa Supreme Court” (will pass the Supreme Court).

“Yung BTC version, hanggang kaya, pero yung version na papasa sa Supreme Court” (We’ll work on the BTC version as much as possible, but it should be a version that will pass the Supreme Court).

Alim told MindaNews that among the non-negotiables that should be retained in the Bangsamoro law are the provisions on basic rights, territory – the six municipalities of Lanao del Norte and 39 barangays in North Cotabato that voted yes to inclusion in the ARMM in the 2001 plebiscite, and the whole of ARMM. The present ARMM comprises Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-tawi, Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao and the cities of Marawi and Lamitan. The CAB also provides that the cities of Cotabato and Isabela be part of the proposed Bangsamoro.

Alim told the press conference that the law must ensure the right to self-determination of the Bangsamoro, the issue of identity and Shariah.

Rufa Guiam, an anthropologist and retired professor told MindaNews the other non-negotiable is fiscal autonomy since there is no fiscal autonomy under the present ARMM. “We can’t have real autonomy without fiscal autonomy. Otherwise we will still be kowtowing to Malacanang for everything,” she said.

On the proposal of some lawmakers to include in the Bangsamoro law a ban on political dynasties, Alim said,

“we want to see a national law first on anti-dynasty.”

He said the Bangsamoro parliament can pass a law on that but it will be good if the national government sets the example.

Guiam noted prejudice on the part of those pushing for an anti-dynasty provision “targeting only the ARMM but the dynasties exist everywhere, including Davao City.”

Acceptable to the people Ghazali Jaafar, the MILF’s 1st Vice Chair and concurrent BTC chair, told MindaNews after the public hearing on the BBL in Cotabato City on February 15 that they expect a BBL that is “acceptable to the Bangsamoro people.”

“What kind of BBL will you not accept?” MindaNews asked. His reply: “If not acceptable to the Bangsamoro. Lower than ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao). And watered down.”

But Jaafar is optimistic the BTC draft will not be watered down. “The government will not give us BBL which is not complaint to the CAB,” he said, adding the President and Congress know “that the Bangsamoro people will not accept watered down BBL. And so they will try their best to give the Bangsamoro people BBL which is not watered down because all these people now, especially our President gusto niya tahimik na itong lugar natin” (wants our area to be peaceful).

“What if it’s a little bit more than ARMM but not in accordance with the CAB?” MindaNews asked.

Jaafar’s response: “Let the people decide,” but added, “I think they (Congress) will not give us BBL not compliant with the CAB.” (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION TO HEADLINE THE 2018 AFF FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP AS TITLE SPONSOR Suzuki Motor Corporation will be the title sponsor of the Asean Football Federation Championship once again, paving the way for another exciting edition of the region’s biggest and mostpassionately supported football tournament in 2018.

This will mark the sixth successive occasion Suzuki Motor Corporation has backed the AFF’s flagship competition – the AFF Suzuki Cup – since 2008. First played in 1996, the biennial tournament is contested by the national teams of Southeast Asia and boasts record TV ratings and sold-out stadia.

“We began our sponsorship as the title sponsor in 2008 with the passion to bring thrill and excitement to the ASEAN region,” said Kinji Saito, Managing Officer from Suzuki Motor Corporation.

“Since then, together with fans and championship staff, the AFF SUZUKI CUP has created sensational moments and unforgettable memories, which embody Suzuki’s corporate slogan “Way of Life!” The 2018 championship will mark the 10th year anniversary of our sponsorship, and with new changes to the tournament format, it will surely be as remarkable and exciting as ever, and will mark a new chapter in the history of the AFF SUZUKI CUP.” During the 2016 games, when Myanmar

and the Philippines hosted the Group Stages for the first time, Thailand triumphed for a record fifth.

“This year will be the 12th time we have staged the AFF Football Championship and we are truly grateful to Suzuki Motor Corporation for embracing the region’s top footballing tournament as the title sponsor once again,” said Lt Gen Dato’ Sri Azzuddin Ahmad (Retired), General Secretary of AFF. “It is incredible how quickly time has flown since the inaugural

tournament was staged in Singapore in 1996. Not only has the tournament grown from strength to strength, it has created opportunities to groom football talent in the region and is today the most important regional stage for local teams to take the next step up.”

Importantly, Suzuki’s renewal comes at a time when the tournament will see some exciting new changes to its format, aimed at providing more exposure to the players in their home country and driving greater fan engagement.

Starting this year, the Qualification Round will see the two lowestranked ASEAN teams playing off against each other, with the winner joining the top nine ranked countries in the Group Stage.

Each Group will comprise five teams, with each team playing two matches at home and two matches outside. The Semi-Finals and Finals format will remain home-and-away matches played over two-legs. This means throughout the course of the tournament, there will be more home

matches held in every participating country, which will further enhance established rivalries.

“These are exciting times for the AFF Football Championship with Suzuki Motor Corporation extending its legacy as title sponsor and putting its weight behind an invigorated tournament,” said Tom Smith, President, Football – Asia at Lagardère Sports. “We deeply appreciate Suzuki’s unwavering support, and our team looks forward to delivering the

most impactful event in the history of the competition.”

Suzuki Philippines recalls the honor of hosting the Group Stages in 2016; “It was a great privilege and a humbling experience to be one of the hosts in the 2016 Suzuki Cup and witness first-hand how the region’s biggest tournament brings different people together and share a common experience. Indeed, it was a way of sharing to people what the Suzuki Way of Life is all about.

We have only excitement for the 2018 Suzuki Cup.”

The amount so deposited shall be paid to the purchaser at the auction sale if the deed is declared invalid, but it shall be returned to the depositor if the action fails.

Neither shall any Court declare a sale at public auction invalid by reason of irregularities or informalities in the proceeding unless the substantive right of the delinquent owner of the real property or the person having legal interest therein have been impaired.

Section 126. Payment of Delinquent Taxes on Property Subject of Controversy. In any action involving the ownership or the possession of, or succession to, real property, the court may, motu propio or upon the representation of the Provincial Treasurer or Municipal Treasurer, award such ownership, possession or succession to any party to the action upon payment to the court of the taxes with interest, and all other costs that may have accrued, subject to the final outcome of the action.

President and CEO Ernest Cu led the company’s 120 key executives in doing extensive immersions

at Alipay, Alibaba and Huawei Technologies last January 2018 at Hangzhou, China. The immer-

sions provided unique opportunities for Globe to understand new digital technology develop-

ments, holistic market applications of financial technology, scaling up e-Commerce play and 5G technologies.

Hangzhou is the capital city of Zheijang Province in east China, and an emerging technology hub. Hangzhou serves as the headquarters for the Alibaba group, the world’s largest retail e-commerce company, which introduced cashless payment to the city. Hangzhou is now considered by many of its citizens as a cashless society.

Alibaba’s financial technology subsidiary Ant Financial Services Group, operates Alipay, a leading online

and mobile payments platform with over 520 million users.

Launched in 2003 in Hangzhou, Alipay transformed the city into a cashless city through its QR code payment technology.

Hangzhou is home to Huawei Global Training Center, offering Information and Communications Technology (ICT) learning, and capability development for partner operators.
