House sets BBL public hearings on Feb. 8 to March 9 in 11 M’nao areas By Carolyn O. Arguillas MindaNews

THE House Committees on Local Government, Muslim Affairs and Peace, Reconciliation and Unity will be conducting public hearings on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) in 11 Mindanao areas every

week from February 8 to March 9. Committee members will be presenting to the public their proposed Bangsamoro law, consolidated from four bills filed in the House, including the draft of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC). The House sub-committee on the BBL has adopted the title “Bangsamoro

Autonomous Region” (BAR) instead of the BTC’s proposed “Bangsamoro.” Hearings will be held in Cotabato City on February 8, in Midsayap, North Octabato on February 9 and in Davao City on February 10. The following week, the Commitee will go to Tubod, Lanao del Norte See hearings, page 2

Reds remain a threat in Agusan: police

BUTUAN City––Communist insurgents have remained a primary threat to peace and order in Agusan del Norte, police said. “The CPP-NPA-NDF remains to be the most potent threat in our provincial area

of responsibility,” said Supt. Carlo V. Ometer, deputy director for operations of the Philippine National Police in the province. Ometer was referring to the rebel group’s political and armed components

-the Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People’s Army and the National Democratic Front. He bared this during a security briefing he gave before members of the Agusan del Norte Provincial

Police Advisory Council Friday, where he outlined the police response against the rebels’ increasing attacks on government positions in the province. Despite the security See POLICE, page 7

MISAMIS Oriental--Grieving relatives offered mass and flowers on Friday at the scene of Flight 387, a Cebu Pacific Air flight from Manila to Cagayan de Oro (CDO) City, that crashed in Mount Sumagaya on February 2, 1998, killing all 104 passengers, including the airplane crew. Father Remil Magusara, parish priest of Barangay Malagana, a village in the outskirts of Claveria in Misamis Oriental, celebrated the mass attended by dozens of surviving heirs, relatives and friends who trekked to the site where a shrine was constructed as a memorial to those who perished in the crash 20 years ago. Every year, the bereaved families and friends visit the shrine to remember the ill-starred passengers who, except for unidentified body parts, have never been recovered. The shrine is a symbolic site where rescuers who retrieved unidentified body parts dumped body bags and belongings from the crash site in the middle of Mount Sumagaya, about 6,000 feet above sea level.

Panabo barangays get P3.5m DAVAO del Norte Governor Antonio Rafael G. Del Rosario turned over a total of P3.5 million to seven barangays of Panabo City last January 30, 2018. Del Rosario accompanied by Mr. Samson Sanchez, provincial ad-

ministrator, together with Ms. Risa Joie Martir Ylagan, the governor’s executive assistant, released the money to finance the different projects of the respective barangays. The recipient barangays include Katualan,

Man-ay, EO Floirendo, Katipunan, San Vicente, Lower Panaga, and Tagpuri. Each received P500,000. Meanwhile, the governor assured that another batch will also receive similar funding this month. In his speech, Del Ro-

sario told Panabo City Mayor James Gamao, Vice Mayor Janrey Gabina, Board Member and ABC President Dr. Miguel Niez, councilors Gregorio Dujali III, and Flopone Royle Catalan and other public officials present that

he will do all his best to extend financial support to all barangays. “We will release the funding batch by batch as per schedule for the entire province of Davao del Norte,” said the governor. He also added that no need for us to join the PDP

Laban implemented by House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez because the Presidential son and daughter--Davao City Mayor Sarah Duterte Carpio and resigned Vice Mayor Paulo Duterte was not even a member of the PDP.

Hearings...

tee has set February 13 and 14 for the Technical Working Group to finalize the Committee report which should be ready for the signature of members and filing of Committee report by February 20. The Senate has scheduled February 20 to March 19 for plenary debates, and on March 20, “Senate approval on second and third reading (if certified by the President),” the scheduled posted by the BTC said. The House of Representatives is eyeing the passage of the BBL on March 21. Last Monday, Deputy Speaker and Cebu Third District Rep. Gwendoly n Garci a and L anao del Nor te Rep. Mohamad Khalid Dimaporo told the bi-monthly press briefing that they see no conflict in the BBL and Charter Change efforts of the House. A press release post-

ed on the website of the House of Representatives quoted Garcia as saying the subcommittee on BBL created by the Committees on Local Governments; Muslim Affairs; and Peace, Reconciliation and Unity had agreed to the creation of the BAR and will refer to the mother committee the more contentious provisions such as “the scope of exclusive powers of the BAR government, the provision on inland waters, and the Bangsamoro Justice System.” She said the sub-committee agreed to get the opinion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Pol i c e and ot he r u n i formed ser vices on the proposed law. It will also seek inputs from the BTC “on certain provisions of the new BBL” but the press release did not say what these provisions are. Dimaporo, author of

House Bill 6263, one of the four Bangsamoro bills filed in the House, said the approval of the BBL and the shift to federalism were not inter-related. “I don’t think they are interrelated. It doesn’t matter what comes first or what comes next. As far as Congress is concerned, this was a promise of the President to the Filipino people, to the Bangsamoro people…his promise to deliver the BBL. So therefore, Congress is working as hard as possible so that the President can deliver his promise,” he said. The creation of the Bangsamoro, a new autonomous political entity that would replace the Autonomous Region i n Mu s l i m M i n d a n a o ( A RM M ) , is b as e d on the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) that the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) signed on March

27, 2014. Dimaporo said provisions in the BTC draft that may face questions on constitutionality, have been identified in the subcommittee level while the constitutionally-acceptable language is embedded in Rep. Gloria MacapagalArroyo’s HB 6121 and in HB 092 of Maguindanao Rep. and Deputy Speaker for Mindanao Bai Sandra Sema, which Dimaporo said is the “16th Congress version.” “So more or less, at the top of my mind, we retained mga 50 percent of the BTC version. The remaining 50 percent, it’s either we adopt the GMA version or the 16th Congress version,” Dimaporo was quoted as saying. T h e “BTC v e r s i on” Dimpaoro was referring to is HB 6475 filed by Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez and at least 90 other representatives. Arroyo’s bill is actu-

ally a resurrection of the substitute bill filed by then Senator Ferdinand Marcos, in lieu of the BTC draft then. Marcos was chair of the Senate Committee on Local Government under the Aquino administration. Congress adjourned in 2016 without passing the BBl. The “16th Congress version” Dimaporo was referring to is Sema’s HB 092 or what was HB 4994, the “agreed version” of the government and MILF after the former proposed revisions to the BTC’s draft BBL. But HB 02 or HB 4994 was actually not the “16th C ong ress version” b ecause the Ad Hoc Committee on the BBL filed HB 5811, as substitute bill. The MILF found HB 5811 and Marcos’ substitute bill as unacceptable as they envisioned a Bangsamoro “less autonomous than the ARMM.” (Carolyn O. Arguillas / MindaNews)

My “teacher’s healthy tips”

RA 10172

Geraldine I. Padero Teacher-I Metebagao Elementary School

Being a teacher is being a busy one, perhaps the busiest of people. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make time to stay fit and healthy. Here are some quick things I can do every day to keep my energy level where it needs to be in order to accomplish everything I need to get done in a day. Motivate yourself. Daily morning should have a positive mindset. So, go straight in the mirror and say all positive things you like; “Yes I’m the millionaire today for being the best teacher.” Or “I’m the most beautiful woman on ‘.earth”. What’s important is you feel happy and motivated. ’ Eat healthy. Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, always keep quick onthe-go breakfast items in the house such as; fresh fruits, fruits juice, root crops, vegetable salad, cereals, milk. Move a little. When we have full of

paper works, getting time to exercise went out of our priority but we can start small. Try these ideas in your weekly activities: walk around the campus with some fellow teachers after school, jump rope with your kids, take a bike ride with your spouse or friend after dinner. Make Healthy work environment. Make sure you sanitize your classroom or work environment as often as possible. When your job exposes you to social environments where germs run wild, it’s important to be prepared. Wipes, sprays, and liquid sanitizers are always things to keep on hand. Snack is my friend. Healthy snacks throughout the day, and a light lunch, are a great way to get the needed calories, vitamins, and minerals our body needs to keep us fueled and energetic.

TFBM gearing up for long-term solution on Marawi water systems

3

By Joshua Angelo E. Bata, Contributor

ILIGAN City--The need for a long-term solution on water systems in Marawi came into focus after inter-agency meetings of the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) pointed out the residents’ problematic water access. The Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and the Marawi City Water District (MCWD) explained problems on water systems have been persistent even before the siege. The waterworks sector reveals almost 60% of water supply coming from operational pump stations in Marawi go into waste due to leakage from old-age pipes dating back to the 1960s. There are also institutional and legal issues between the LWUA and the MCWD. The problem with water system is also one of the causes of delayed transfer of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in ‘Biyaya ng Pagbabago’ temporary shelters in Sagonsongan. Housing and Urban Development Council (HUDCC) Chief and TFBM Chair Eduardo del Rosario had to postpone the transfer of IDPs in Sagonsongan last December 2017 due to this concern. Since the Kambalingan or homecoming of IDPs began, evacuees raised problems on water. City Health Officer Dr. Ali Dalidig and representatives from the Department of Health (DOH) reiterate the need for a safe, adequate and accessible water supply to IDPs and to those staying in temporary shelters in Marawi. Dr. Dalidig emphasized the state of the water system in the war-torn city is also their concern as it is a potential source of

public health issues. Last November 2017, tests commissioned by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reveal that water supply is negative for hazardous chemical contaminations. This means water is safe for everyday use. But it showed positive for bacteria that makes tap water not safe for drinking. The DOH has been distributing 5-gallon water containers for storing drinking water. Water containers installed in Bahay Pag-asa in Marawi City. File photo courtesy of James Umaran Containers distributed stands at more than 27,000 as of the last count. In the meantime, the ICRC has been rationing water in water bladders placed in nine strategic locations, including the one in Sagonsongan. They have also donated generator sets and chlorine for the pumping stations of the MCWD to be operational. The LWUA and the MCWD bares a 7.5-million-peso plan for the long-term solution to issues on water system. This will involve the rehabilitation of four pump stations, which includes re-piping, rehabilitation and construction of more cluster boxes and, replacement of old valves and pipes. To ensure Marawi residents’ safe access to drinking water, the proposed infrastructure rehabilitation of water pump stations include the installment of chlorinator. Chlorinators treat water from possible contaminants. The TFBM has been helping the LWUA and the MCWD in sourcing funds for the rehabilitation of the water systems in Marawi. Waterworks will be crucial in rebuilding the war-torn city into a more prosperous and safe community.

‘OSY’ costs billions of GDP losses, says study

A STUDY commissioned by DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, disclosed that Asia could be losing nearly US$34 billion per year in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) due to children dropping out of school. The study covers young people in disadvantaged communities in Asia Pacific countries where the out-of-school youth rose “exponentially” as children grew older, with at least one in every three children dropping out of school by upper secondary-age. Due to high rates of outof-school children, with some countries deprived of up to 2 percent of their GDP as a result, some of Asia’s

fastest-growing economies may struggle to reach their full potential, the report said. The study was carried out in all seven countries in the Asia Pacific region that includes Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. “While everyone recognizes the social importance of keeping children in school, the economic costs of failing to do so may come as a shock to many,” said Christof Ehrhart, Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications and Responsibility, Deutsche Post DHL Group.” The Asia Pacific region

cannot rely on its rapid economic growth to automatically improve social outcomes like school retention. Although India’s economy is growing at around 7 percent annually, nearly 20 percent of its children exit school before secondary level, while Indonesia -- where economic growth has helped halve poverty levels since 1999 -- still sees 1 in 5 students drop out of school with lower secondary age. If Asia’s public and private sectors do not take concerted action to reduce the rates of out-of-school children, the region’s most promising economies may soon face a significant talent

Duterte’s humor and fake news HIS natural comic flair makes him alive and kicking. He throws antics and ad libs even in the most formal setting like no other. President Duterte cracks jokes in between serious functions and meetings, his only weapon, perhaps to brighten up his day in finding solutions to the nation’s titanic woes --- verily not for the fainthearted. Duterte’s jokes and ad libs may sound irritating and outmoded, but these are his ways of fighting stress and pressures attached to his Herculian job -- the presidency. Duterte has his way of entertaining himself amid the many animosities of the day. Most often than not, he lightens the day by himself -- from serious to funny,

shepherding the discussions with his profound thought process and candid inputs. If God has a sense of humor, Duterte had his way too of making people laugh in the midst of national crisis --– serious at one moment and funny the next. His critics presumably find his jokes nasty albeit obscene and sometimes scandalous, yet ordinary people love to hear those ad libs, very original, candid and outspoken as it were. During the election campaign, Duterte even joked he will Jetski to the South China Sea to plant the Philippine flag there. The following day, a national broadsheet carried an editorial cartoon showing Duterte jet skiing on the waters of the disputed

islands in the South China Sea! This Duterte joke drew mixed reactions from Netizens, and perhaps one of the ad libs that catapulted Duterte to Malacanang. His knack on the ad libs gave him the edge over his political opponents, even outpacing the late and charismatic Miriam Defensor-Santiago. The President’s sense of humor appears to serve as his weapon to stay on course in the fight against illegal drugs, corruption in government, terrorism and the restoration of the law and order. He pokes fun at himself as well. During his visit at a military camp in Davao, the President flaunted he has two wives occupying

his left and another on the right. At one time, the President made the ire of the national press by his sharp side comments on media killings that eventually killed his ‘honeymoon’ with the Manila media. With all its enigmatic outcomes, his humor is seen to buoy up the presidency -- uncover more scandals, corruption and ineptitude of people in government. With all his toughness, Duterte has a soft heart See FAKE, page 11

Social media for personal branding SHOULD we use social media for hoax or fake news? No, we should use it for personal branding. In this article, I’d rather let the social media users use social media for better purposes: for personal branding. Social media with its existence in the digital society is very important. Many people have got in touch with the social media. Adults, young people, and even children have got used to playing with some social media. There are many kinds of social media such as Personal Website, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, Vimeo, Tumbler, Slide Share, and many others. Each of the type of social media has been used very much by the users all

over the world. Recently, as reported by Mark Zukerberg, the users of the social media have increased their numbers more and more. For example the five social media—e.g., Facebook, Line, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp— have been in tremendous membership. As reported by Mark Zukerberg in Face book recently, in 2017, for Face book, the number of the account users is 2 billion, Line 100 million, Instagram 250 million, Messenger 2 billion, and WhatsApp 250 million. If we have those five social media accounts, we will be lucky as long as we can manage the daily activities: posting and commenting. However, the way and the contents of the posts

must be consistently good for personal branding. So far, we have eye-witnessed some social media users in managing their accounts. Not all posts posted in their tag line, for instance, have consistency in terms of the contents. When using the social media for personal branding, we must be able to control the contents of our taglines: posting and commenting. It is important for the users to be able to manage their social media accounts. However, it is not too late. We can define again the social media that we have mismanaged. Beside the consistency, personal branding can also be started by redefinition. For example, on social media, when the post is more

Dr. Djuwari

related to our discipline of science, personal branding will be well managed. However, the social media contents with photographs or some other pictures can be unrelated to our identity—e.g., our discipline of science or education core. It could be because of the tags of other friends in our tagline. If that is the case, we can start to redefine— redefinition of personal branding. If too many images or photos are not related to the brand image of our personal identity, the personal branding See Branding, page 11

Have my say

Does our social media betrays our mood?

CLUES to the state of your mental health may be hiding in plain sight – in the tweets you send and the Facebook updates you post. There it is in your Facebook timeline or Instagram gallery – a digital footprint of your mental health. I was shocked, but - on the other way also very interested checking out more on BBC. This February, BBC Future is exploring social media’s impact on mental health and well-being – and seeking solutions for a happier, healthier experience on these platforms. One thing is really clear: it’s not hidden in the obvious parts: the emojis, hashtags and inspirational quotes. Instead, it lurks in subtler signs that, unbeknownst to you, may provide a diagnosis as accurate as a doctor’s blood pressure cuff or heart rate monitor. For those who see social media, mainly as a place to share the latest cat video or travel snap, this may come as a surprise. It also means the platform has important – and potentially life-saving – potential. Following the BBC: in the US alone, there is one death by suicide every 13 minutes. Despite this, our ability to predict suicidal thoughts and behavior has not materially improved across 50 years

of research. Forecasting an episode of psychosis or emerging depression can be equally challenging. But data mining and machine learning are transforming this landscape by extracting signals from dizzying amounts of granular data on social media. These methods already have tracked and predicted flu outbreaks. Now, it’s the turn of mental health. Studies have found that if you have depression, your Instagram feed is more likely to feature bluer, greyer, and darker photos with fewer faces. They’ll probably receive fewer likes (but more comments). Chances are you’ll prefer the Inkwell filter which converts colour images to black and white, rather than the Valencia one which lightens them. Even then, these patterns are hardly robust enough in isolation to diagnose or predict depression. Still, they could be crucial in constructing models that can. This is where machine learning comes in. While checking out all these details, I try to recall my last posts and reactions in social media. Maybe at this moment, you think about yours too. Allow me to share more with you, my dear readers: researchers from Harvard University and the Uni-

versity of Vermont used these techniques in their recent analysis of almost 44,000 Instagram posts. Their resulting models correctly identified 70% of all users with depression. compared to a rate of 42% from general practitioners. They also had fewer false positives (although this figure drew from a separate population, so may be an unfair comparison). Depressive signals were evident in users’ feeds even before a formal diagnosis from psychiatrists – making Instagram an early warning system of sorts. Meanwhile, psychiatrists have long linked language and mental health, listening for the disjointed and tangential speech of schizophrenia or the increased use of first-person singular pronouns of depression. For an updated take, type your Twitter handle into AnalyzeWords. It’s a free text analysis tool which focuses on junk words (pronouns, articles, prepositions) to assess emotional and thinking styles. From my 1017 most recent words on Twitter, I’m apparently average for being angry and worried but below average on being upbeat – I have been pretty pessimistic about the state of the world recently. Enter @realdonaldtrump into AnalzyeWords and you’ll

see he scores highly on having an upbeat emotional style, and is less likely than average to be worried, angry, and depressed. The behaviour we exhibit online can be used to inform diagnostic and screening tools – so the opinion of Chris Danforth, University of Vermont. But far beyond this quick and sometimes amusing scan of emotional and social styles (AnalyzeWords tells you if you’re more “Spacy/ ValleyGirl” than average), researchers are exploring profound questions about mental health. Telling signals of depression include an increase in negative words (“no”, “never”, “prison”, “murder”) and a decrease in positive ones (“happy”, “beach”, and “photo”), but these are hardly definitive. Taking it a step further, researchers at Harvard University, Stanford University and the University of Vermont extracted a wider range of features (mood, language and context) from almost 280,000 tweets. The resulting computational model scored highly on identifying users with depression; it also was correct in about nine of every 10 PTSD predictions. The ratio of positive to negative words was a key predictor within the model, says Chris Danforth, one of

a treatment provider is six to eight years; for anxiety, it’s nine to 23 years. In turn, hopefully we’ll see better outcomes. Two billion users engage with social media regularly – these are signals with scalability. As Mark Zuckerberg wrote recently while outlining Facebook’s AI plans, “there have been terribly tragic events – like suicides, some live streamed – that perhaps could have been prevented if someone had realized what was happening and reported them sooner.” Quoting the BBC again - and here, I strongly agree: mental health exists between clinic appointments. It ebbs and flows in real time. It lives in posts and pictures and tweets. Perhaps prediction, diagnosis and healing should live there, too. See you on Facebook and Twitter.

The only problem here, according to Psalm 82:5, was that, because of man’s fantasy with sin and sinfulness and because he has chosen to stray away from God, the truth that he himself is god, too, was erased from his mind.

Using yet another chapter in the amazing life of the principal character of many of Dan Brown’s books, Prof. Robert Langdon, Brown explained that the key to unlocking the “Ancient Mysteries” he was harping about could be found in the different verses of the Bible.

COTABATO City––The time to vacillate is over. If asked to name the most definitive policy statement of President Duterte about doing justice to the Bangsamoro, it is understandable if a layman replied: Wala po siya nasabi tunkol sa BBL (Bangsamoro Basic Law) sa amin pagtitipun. Was it a spur of duty that the President hardly said anything at the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) consultation in the old capitol in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao last 27 November 2017? But in keeping with his campaign promise of federalism, neither was there any mention of BBL except to reiterate the duty to correct historical injustices against the Moro people. President Duterte’s pride at stake in tracing his maternal Moro bloodline is not anecdotal when delivered on national television and betrays his headstrong character ready to grapple with the Bangsamoro quest. Yet this profile in courage of a first Presidency that hails from Mindanao has voiced current popular sentiments wooing converts to the federalist cause. Meanwhile the trajectory of BBL continues to evolve into parallel and contradictory lines of constitutional and judicial attitudes, if plotted on a simple graph with space dimension and sequence as axes. My take is that a federal shift would overcome issues raised in earlier cases including lines of reasoning of constitutional infirmity. Only in mid-October 2017 — when EDSA Commission chairman Pastor Saycon and I accompanied heirs of the Sultan of Sulu, Sultan of Magindanaw and Rajah of Buayan to seek audience with Malacanang — was there clarity with no litany of grievances but a chronology of episodes drifted from political economy of armed conflict in Mindanao towards communication strategy of the BBL. Straightforwardly, towards the end of that abbreviated conversation, I approached him and clasped his hand to say: “Mr. President, you are on the right track See JUSTICE, page 11

CDO collected P576 million in 2017 MSMEs urgedto invest in tourism

By MARK FRANCISCO

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The coffers of this city was able to collect P576.4 million in revenues for 2017 or a 27.45 percent from the previous year. City treasurer Ramon Mendoza recalled that revenues from the 2016 renewal and application of new business permits only reached P452 million. This, after the City Finance Office which Mendoza heads wrapped up its annual processing of business permits last January 31 with the final number of registered enterprises, both recurring and new, tallied at more than 14,000 or an increase of 3,000 over the 2017 record of only 11,000. As the City Finance Office wrapped up its registration of businesses, the focus now of the department is the renewal of business permits of the hundreds of concessionaires in its public markets – westbound, Cogon, Carmen and Puerto. Mendoza added that he is expecting a steady increase for business applications in the years to come because of the reforms instituted by the Moreno administration in his department, the highlight of which is the speedy process of the business permits, eliminating red tape alto-

Another factor is the automation of almost all City Hall transactions and the option to deal online, both of which were fully implemented in 2017, he continued. “For example, kung magkuha ka sa imo billing, dili ka na necessary moanha sa City Hall. You just have to do it online in the tips of your phones,” Mendoza explained. Along this line, the treasurer reported that the city government had already collected P10 million through its online payment system since it was launched last year.

Philippine tourism in 2017 – A 'milestone' with 6.6 million arrivals By

Joyce Ann L. Rocamora

MANILA -- Amid series of political noise, security concerns, and travel advisories the Philippines faced last year, the Department of Tourism (DOT) said it had achieved a "milestone" after reaching an all-time high of international tourist arrivals in 2017 at 6,620,908. This marks the unprecedented growth of the country’s tourism industry, the DOT said. Latest data released by the DOT showed tourist

arrivals grew 10.96 percent from the 2016 arrivals of 5,967,005. “We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all the tourism stakeholders who worked hand in hand with the Department of Tourism in achieving another milestone for the country,” Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo said in a statement. Philippine tourism even bested the average tourism growth of Asia and the Pacific which is at six

percent and Southeast Asia at eight percent, according to the latest United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer. The tourism milestone came after a series of political noise, security concerns, and travel advisories against the country in 2017. “We overcame these challenges with the innate resiliency of the Filipinos and the cooperation of everybody. And for that we are very thankful,” Teo said. She also thanked all stakeholders who made country’s hosting of the Miss Universe and the ASEAN Summit, Madrid Fusión Manila 2017, World Street Food Congress, and the UNWTO International Conference on Tourism Statistics a huge success. Improved air routes and more cruise calls together with travel infrastructure development, travel facilitation, product development and tourism investments drummed up the tourism industry last year. South Korea remained the country’s top source market with the lion’s share of 1,607,821, attributing for almost a quarter of the total tourist arrival. Boracay and Cebu remain the top destinations for Koreans last year. China followed suit with 968,447 arrivals due to the improved ties between the two states, added air routes, and the Visa Upon Arrival (VUA) option for Chinese nationals. It is the most improved market with 43.33 percent growth rate overtaking United States with See arrivals, page A11

MANILA -- The current year is a perfect time for micro-, small- and mediumsized enterprises (MSMEs) to engage in tourism-related businesses “to actively help attract international investors to the country,” the Department of Tourism said.

 DOT Undersecretary for Tourism Regulation, Coordination and Resource Generation (TRCRG) Alma Rita Jimenez noted the impact of global travel and tourism, and increased international visitor arrivals encouraged foreign investors to do business in the Philippines.

 “You’ll have the confidence that when you put your resources in our shores, you can park your funds with us for a long term because it will give you steady and stable returns,” she said. 

Dr. Aekapol Chongvilaivan from the Asian Development Bank, meanwhile, provided an overview of the current financial status of the Philippines, dubbing the country as a “rising star in Asia” due to the rapid growth of its investmentdriven economy.

 During the first Invest Tourism Philippines forum titled, “The Next Big Thing in Asia,” hosted by the DOT in Manila, Chongvilaivan said tourism should serve as a major economic engine, with emphasis on fiscal management, infrastructure development, and unemployment.

 Plenary sessions participated in by representatives from government and private sectors addressed issues confronting the tourism industry, and encouraged multilateral partnership and community involvement to achieve collective growth.

 It was also stressed that Information and Communication Technology (ICT)based innovation is imperative in order to enhance connectivity, and to monitor customer feedbacks, as well as enhance product endorsement and branding.

 The panel also tackled the processes of getting financial assistance, of collaterals being hindrances for MSMEs in getting loans, of facilities and programs giving local businesses access to information and business mentors, of partnerships, and community-wide development. (PNA)

The mangled bodies of unidentified victims were buried in a mass grave in a high-end memorial park in CDO City marked by a black granite wall with names of those who died in the crash.

THE FLIGHT OF NURSES IN THEIR REAL WORK By: Anjo B. Epe Nurse I Kapatagan Provincial Hospital Kapatagan,Lanao del Norte

Efficiency of public services is the battle cry of the current leaders in our government. Customers satisfaction or the client satisfaction is also our individual dream. In hospitals, either private or public, immediate care or attention is really a must to all patients because a single moment not given to them that means life .Nurses played a vital role in all hospitals ,they are the frontliners and often blamed in most public hospitals if services are not given properly. Nursing is a profession which needs lots of personal commitment and time, due to the nature of the profession, where patients care is priority. I think it is more challenging and stressful job than many profession. Nursing is one of the most vulnerable professional group to acquire occupational stress, as they often encounter stressful situations due to the special demands of their profession. In many cases someone becomes a nurse because

Recalling...

they want to help people but when Nurses confronted with the reality of the job soon realize that is not what they thought before because the nature of nursing tasks and the involvement with death and dying people every day. Caring for dying patients is part of the reality of being a nurse. According to (Oskins 1979, Anderson & Basteyns 1981) dealing with death and dying patients is particularly stressful for nurses. Nurses are the around the clock providers of patients care. Nurses are encountered with different work tasks, and different working hours because of the institution demand and nature of work.. Working in shift duties can disturbed our normal lives and we feel physical weakness and fatigue. Fatigue is the most common adverse effect of shift and night work. Fatigue results from an difference between work load and rest. Nurses are more at risk of getting of illness due to night and shift duties due to disruption in hormone level. A recent study done in 2011 from university College London that working more than 11 hours places a person at a 67% higher risk

of developing heart disease compared to those who work just for 8 hours. (Kivimak Mika,April 2011). Nursing profession has lots of responsibility for the continuous care for sick, disabled and dying patients. Nursing is also responsible for encouraging the health of individuals, their families and communities. Nursing is one of the fields which is the backbone of every hospital and played a role of moderator between doctor and patients. The nurse s assist physician to explain difficult diagnosis and treatment to patients. They coordinate care of the patients while in hospital and at home. Nurses become a good psychologist because she/he always deals with patient and doctors. Although Nurses are giving their best in performing their duties but still there are complaints heard coming from watchers or even directly coming from the patients regarding the services rendered by nurses or even to the whole staff in the hospital. This is the reason why the researcher is doing this research.

disasters in the country’s aviation history. But until now dozens of questions on how and why Flight 387, a McDonell Douglas DC-9-32 crashed. Flight 387 departed Manila at about 9:16 a.m. on its way to CDO, but made an unscheduled stop in Tacloban City at 9:53 a.m. to deliver spare tires for a Cebu Pacific plane

Bloom Where You Are Planted MERCY D. BACOR - Teacher -1 EAST CITY CENTRAL SCHOOL LAPASAN, HIGHWAY CAGAYAN DE ORO

Salary Increase, Salary Increase… every teacher is waiting for the salary increase in this present administration. True indeed, teachers deserve an additional compensation because their job is multitasking. The role is not merely on teaching kids but molding them for a better future. According to DBM, there was no allocation for teachers salary hike this year. This news makes the teachers slightly disappointed. Thus, sentiments are heard in the four corners of the school. Discouragement is lingering in the minds of the teachers but they are still hopeful to have the increase. Teachers’ income may not be enough to supply the family’s need, it might be insufficient for the materials needed in teaching the students. They are even bombarded with additional paper works from their superiors but the root of their mission is to be the best they can be right where they are

planted. The best teacher to the students, the best companion to others, a good example to everyone, living a good testimony to the next generation. Trials and apprehensions will be encountered in DEPED system where it lures them to complain things they do not understand. Hardships are just instrument to make everyone a better person. Get rid of the heart aches when it comes to promotion, increase in compensation and fair share of treatment to other Government Employees, just bloom where you are planted and witness how God do the .rest. Like the tiny seed, they look so little but when planted on earth, they will grow taller, bear fruits and become useful to people. Every person in this society is like a seed planted to different situations, people are expecting the seed to perform well so in the expected time everyone can have the good harvest.

Rethinking Education JINKY BOYATAC TALAOGON Teacher-I East City Central School Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City John Dewey reminds us that “Education is not a preparation for life but education is life itself ”. With this, Republic Act 10533 –An act that caters the enhancement of the Philippine Basic Education System aims to strengthen the curriculum by increasing the number of years. The curriculum itself hopes to provide life to all Filipino people particularly the children. K to 12 Philippine Education Program definitely is the answer among the controversies that our country is facing in terms of education. Some might argue with this insight but possibly there are plenty who will agree then. A fact that Philippine curriculum has only ten (10) years of Basic Education which could not compensate with the international standards. Many wanted to work abroad but then as noticed they are lacking with the skills needed to be part of the workforce internationally. Certainly, K to 12 on its aspect, foresee the need of every Filipino children which will develop an individual to be competitive globally.

Although, with that intention, the teachers who are the frontline of the implementation faced a lot of challenges while instigating the curriculum. To mention, teachers experienced difficulty in adjusting with the curriculum, the unavailability of resources, unfinished buildings and even the qualification of teachers. But a lot of remedies were stipulated by higher education officials, like teachers will just get curriculum guides, instructional materials on Department of Education portals. Teachers could utilize the old but quality textbooks of the previous curriculum. Buildings were funded by Local Government Unit (LGU) and other private stakeholders both local and foreign. Department of Education could also employed teachers of private academes. Presently, it was observed that the concerns were addressed already by Department of Education officials. Fortunately, Filipino children will be equipped with quality and life-long education which they deserve.

Biblical reflection

Come to God because He loves you more than your sins The Gospel of Jesus Christ (February5, 2018- Monday) Matthew 5:20-26” YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER’ and `Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before

the court; and whoever says to his brother, `You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, `You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER. This is one of the 10 commandments of

God. Take note, if one of the laws is violated, all laws are violated automatically. James 2:10”For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. This means that you need to abide all the laws of God for your salvation. Do not think

My Living Treasures Ms. Mae Belle Raagas “Please clean your classroom”, “please be quiet”, “please don’t skip classes”, “please don’t be absent”, “please do your assignments at home”, “please copy what I have written on the board” and "please come to school early". That is every teachers' rant each and every single day. Never a day that a teacher shuts her mouth. They kept on talking, discussing and reminding students. That is part of the job. That is what they are paid for. As a teacher, I believe that there is more to the teaching profession. It is touching lives. There was never a dull student. They are all capable of learning academic things, though to some it is pretty challenging. Honestly speaking, I also get tired of teaching diverse students. But I kept on working with them day by day until I got some answers to my questions to my questions. Perhaps, some of the reasons why students are misbehaving in class. She can’t clean her assigned area because she is too tired in babysitting her younger sister until midnight. He can’t keep

his mouth shut in school because he has no one to talk to at home. They skip classes because they want attention from the people around them. He can’t come to class for how many days because he accompanied his father in the farm harvest. She can’t make homework because they don’t have electrical power at home that could sustain electric bulbs. He can’t copy what the writings on the board because he can’t even hold his pen as his hands are swollen out of laborious work. She can’t come to school early because she is tasked to do household chores before leaving the house. Who would have thought that those scenarios exist? Thus, it made me love this profession more. I got the chance to personally help them in making life easy through studies. As I looked deeper into their eyes, I have nothing but gratefulness. Gratefulness that made me appreciate them more as a student, perhaps my children. They are my glory, my waking trophies, and my pride. My students are my living treasures.

Text2Teach Enhancing Academic Performance by: EDEN CHARIAS ACAYLAR Teacher-III Macabalan Elementary School Macabalan, Cagayan de Oro City

The 21st century is an age of media and technology. Technological innovation is an inevitable change in any fields of society. As technology develops, it affects peoples’ way of living. The society has to keep up with this change for it possibly affect academic performance. Remarkably, I have conducted a study on Text2Teach Educational Media. Result indicates that the text2teach educational media as to its text, image, video and audio is strongly correlated with the pupils’ academic performance. The audio performance implicates greater relationship among the four components. The text and video of the Text2Teach Educational Media show significant impact on pupils’ increased academic performance in Mathematics and the Text2Teach audio

discloses significant impact on pupils’ improved academic performance in English as well as their overall academic performance in the three learning areas: English, Mathematics and Science. As teacher researcher, I believed that the findings of the study suggest the use of appropriate process or feature of text, image, video and audio as educational instructional materials. Thus, localization of the Text2Teach Educational Media and applying the context needed for effective teaching-learning process are very much essential in attaining academic excellence. Further studies on pupils’ study habits, anxiety, learning styles, self-efficacy and attitude towards the subject in the context of Text2Teach Educational Media are potential research topics.

Justice... from page 5

about a federalist solution. You and I are both lawyers who well know BBL will run aground on constitutional constraints (i.e. in its present form).” As the nominal craftsman of the Framework of Agreement (FAB) who renegotiated and reformulated the MOA-AD (Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain), I spent seventeen years at the peace negotiating table, and saved this best line for posterity. The time to rehearse the argument for a system that we call “federal” has come of age. Presidential pronouncements seem to vary with varying audiences however. In the course of an interview by MindaNews on January 12, 2018, President Duterte specifically favored the passage of BBL “first” so that “we could have something ahead of the shift” to federalism. There’s here a milieu of priority in sequence with no moral equivalents and no scruples for the front groups. Upon returning from an official visit to India on January 27, the President’s statement suggested once more a vacillation or a mixed messaging: leaning or titillating or finding a solution difficult. Vetting or whatever reasons skewed to turnaround-trading with Joma Sison in the 1960s-style leftist anger, Duterte still remains left of center but the break seems more with political extremism itself. To all appearances, Digong is not a violence-prone sentimental socialist having shared a street vocabulary in common with Datu Udtog Matalam, junior in their youthful sojourns (though not exactly what resembles perhaps an anti-P.C. (politically correct) lexicon among his brightest classmates). By the same temperament, the war on Marawi extremist caliphate-state-orthodoxy might sound ideological radicalism to a number of Muslim intellectuals but still is more like what was not yet called “political Islam” or in style “political correctness” to regular viewers of the cable channels. Just how difficult is reflected in various draft versions of the BBL currently on first reading in the House of Representatives could be seen in structuring the enabling act. The inquire.net (January 30, 2018) tipped on Twit: 50% na lang BBL matira at BLBAR (Basic Law on the Bangsamoro Autonmous Region) version ni GMA (Gloria MacapagalArroyo) ang constitutional according to this article. Can the MILF central committee or its leadership live with that even if, admittedly, all this is a little moot? Lanao Norte Rep. Khalid Dimaporo, a member of the House Subcommittee on the BBL said the unconstitutional provisions of the Bangsamoro Transition

Commission (BTC) version of BBL were identified at subcommittee level. At the other end of the political spectrum, the report added, “constitutionally-acceptable language is embedded in the bill of Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and in the 16th Congress version of BBL. Accordingly, in their mindset, those elected representatives retained fifty percent of the BTC version, and thus see “no conflict in the ongoing BBL legislative process and the cha-cha efforts.” The story line of the past week requires Senator Miguel Zubiri to come up with a completed committee report by mid-March 2018. You might suppose Zubiri visited camp Darapanan with Senators Hontiveros, Ejercito and Angara on January 25, 2018 to offer a new legislation with pivotal changes in terminologies. Never mind principled beliefs: “the status quo is unacceptable?” Consider the fact that the Senate is a “majoritarian” body of 24 lawmakers just like the Supreme Court is a “majoritarian” body of 15 judges. In any case, a majoritarian institution can become also a powerful form of the minority veto. This is not an academic talking point for it looms large an issue in the ongoing Cha-Cha debate. So what I’m saying is the terminal point is not on sight. Supermajorities are required for passing constitutional amendments. The absence of a single Moro in the Senate is a major democracy deficit for good governance system and calls for Charter Change in territorial Senate representation and geographically based electoral districts. Insofar as the score counts: MOA-AD gave way to a divided court decision and BBL yielded to presidential weakness and congressional hysteria. The current stance of MILF leadership is anything but procrastination: an offshoot of the “decision day after” in practice. Semiotics and semantics clause can never assure effectual governance suitable to a Muslim way of life without constitutional transformation. This issue is even more fundamental because it expounds as well as defines basically ‘the totality of ties” that confers status of asymmetrical relationships between the national government and the autonomous government. And what a big mistake: BTC is one of two-steps forward strategic phase of the negotiation. The other step is the BTA (Bangsamoro Transition Authority) — a transition authority after altering the governmental structure for shared political power. Social reality and politics limit presently the scope of the draft BBL, and that is why the Executive Order has tasked BTC to propose constitutional amendments. But the tex-

Monday, February 5, 2018 ture of BTC chairman Iqbal’s – and later Jaafar’s – flight away from constitutional accommodation missed what probably should have been a brilliant collaborative process to fix a Basic Law proposal to fit as amendment draft to Article X of the 1987 Constitution. Then the debate would have shifted to ratification. Thus, if we cut deeper into the Constitution, the rubric of oath of office for the Presidency is pointedly “to do justice.” This puts us on notice that as legally conceived the executive mandate is modal; it is transitive and therefore requires an object. Modals ask the question for whom? The framers of the 1987 Constitution erred in the structure of the autonomous regions that is a tortured construct. That is why the framers were hard put to defend BBL during the past congressional hearings. An all-Moro convention can provide options and, if not feasible, we can opt for initiative and referendum by offering an alternative draft Bangsamoro devolution act. Contentious crises require metaphors that can lead to orientation toward a ratification debate. Justice is a noun hence to make it a verb is a grammatical metaphor. A metaphor means “to transfer” which helps to visualize something so we can make sense of things. This opens up discursive space for transitional justice. Because the shortcomings of the system of legislative representation are almost universal in the American model then the remedy can be demonstrably found only in a federal jurisdiction.

GDP growth, or experience greater instability due to an increasing divide between out-of-school children and those who stay in school.” The report’s findings suggest that poverty remains the most common cause of children exiting school before completion, typically to provide additional sources of income for their families. Improving parental awareness of the benefits of completing secondary education -- which include wage premiums of up to nearly 45 percent in some countries -- tend to result in higher rates of students staying in school than other traditional measures like grants and subsidies. According to the report,

schools catering to the special needs of low-income or disadvantaged students also contribute significantly to reducing out-of-school levels. “Our investigation confirms that most children who drop out of school in Asia Pacific do so out of economic necessity, whether to earn a wage or because of an inability to afford the high costs of staying in school,” said Ehrhart. “We can address this in two ways: by demonstrating the long-term benefits of education to income levels, and by offering young people greater opportunities to develop employability and life skills in and around the classroom.” DHL’s GoTeach program operates in all the seven countries examined in the report, delivering a range of educational and vocational opportunities to young people in disadvantaged communities. Working in partnership with global non-governmental organization (NGO), Teach for All, GoTeach educational activities benefited nearly 11,000 children in Bangladesh, India, Malaysia and the Philippines in 2017. At the same time, the GoTeach partnership with global NGO SOS Children’s Villages saw DHL employees spend more than 2,000 hours mentoring, training and providing internship opportunities to youths in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. With the GoTeach program, DHL contributes meaningfully to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and specifically to the Sustainable Development Goals number 4 (quality education) and 17 (partnerships for the goals). “Our latest report hammers home the sheer volume of out-of-school children in Asia, and the rising costs of doing nothing,” said Ehrhart. “If we want to tackle this issue in a meaningful way, private-sector CSR efforts must collaborate far more cohesively with NGOs and governments, investing in measures like parental awareness and special schooling infrastructure with proven effectiveness. We have both a window of opportunity and a responsibility to the next generation of Asia’s young people to do so before it’s too late.” -0- Send comments/ reactions: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

for women. His charisma oozing with that manly appeal only a few of his age could still make a mark of adulation from his legion of female supporters, young and old alike. Even his number one nemesis, detained Sen. Leila de Lima had good some words on him. Acting like a true gentleman, Duterte

offered a hand to De Lima but not without returning a childish, skimpy grin. His body language says it all. With his trademark rolled up barong sleeves, he shows a lot about him being the man of action – the working President look! Duterte may go down in history not only as the tough-talking President but as a leader who rises above it all by cracking jokes and throwing ad libs the unorthodox way, and at the same time finding solutions to the worries of the State. With mega problems whacking the country, a Duterte humor is indeed needed to lighten up his day. Now, if his humor is fake news, so be it. (ruffy44_ ph2000@yahoo.com)

will not be created. The identity of a person is blurring because it is inconsistent. Here, we can redefine from the beginning. In this case, other users of social media accounts (e.g., friends) should be tolerant when tagging images or photos to other friends’ taglines that may be irrelevant. If it’s too much, it’s not good. If only incidentally, it can be Okay. The little proportion will not affect our personal branding. We will be lucky if we are good at creative writing. Writing creatively is not only on the newspapers or news media. We can do it in our own tagline in our own social media, for example in Instagram or face book. Most of the people use their social media for writing creatively. For example, we can write our comments or opinion either pros or cons towards the hot issues in our surrounding. But, we must write it using logical thinking, not just a bad comment or criticisms without basic arguments. So, we can do activities in our social media for personal branding. We can do it by consistently posting and commenting with regular good contents for our identity creation. Personal branding will be more powerful if we are able to manage a lot of social media. For example, Personal Website, LinkedIn, Twitter, Face book, Google+, YouTube, Vimeo, Tumbler, Slide Share, and others. There are many more types of social media. However, if it is too many, we may not be able to manage them. The accounts can be so passive. If this happens, it will reduce our personal branding level.

Cops face probe for mauling minors DAVAO City--The two mobile police officers accused of allegedly mauling three minors involved in a riot last January 21 were placed under restriction while being probed by the Investigation and Detection Management Bureau (IDMB) of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO). This after Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio asked for an investigation on the incident to mete out the appropriate sanction, if the policemen involved are found to have violated rules on apprehension.

The mayor said she learned of the incident after a lawyer called her office about the mauling of the minors. “We expect that the Davao City Police Office will make it right for the complainants, even if they are in conflict with the law,” she said. DCPO spokesperson Mara Teresita Gaspan said the two police officers whose names are still withheld pending the result of the investigation responded to a call from the Central 911 of an ongoing riot at

around 1:15 a.m. But the minors were already at the barangay hall of Barangay 19-B Garcia Heights. The two policemen, however, apologized to the parents of the minors, saying they meant no harm to the children, but just to remind them that they have to be home before the curfew for minors. One of the policeman also said that one of the parents of the minors asked the police to discipline their child who was a perennial vagrant. The minors also violated

the curfew hour as it was already past 1:00 a.m, according to Gaspan. Even if the two are children in conflict with the law (CICL), Gaspan underscored DCPO personnel do not tolerate and do condone misconduct and inappropriate behavior. Gaspan said this is the first time that DCPO police officers were accused of violating the rights of minors even if they are CICL. In her statement released Tuesday night, the mayor admitted the incident was surprising.

“We are confident that Davao City policemen know by heart their obligation to uphold the rights of all people, especially those who have less in life and the most vulnerable,” she said. Duterte-Carpio said issues concerning human rights abuse against members of the DCPO are very few, if not, absent. She added the city takes pride in the fact that they do not cut corners in lowering crime incidence in the city. The mayor has cautioned the police that while minors committing crimes should

be taken into custody, force should not be used against them unless police authority is ignored or lives are in danger because of the actions of the minors. Gaspan said this is also the first time the information emanated from the office of the mayor. One of the minors said he and companions were just rescued by the barangay tanods in Barangay 19-B for violating the curfew hours for minors and not for making riots. He said he and his See cops, page 9
