CDO Ex-lawmaker says he is innocent By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Following his conviction along Janet Napoles and several others over the P10 billion pork barrel scam by the Sandiganbayan, former congressman Constantino Jaraula said Saturday he is innocent of any wrongdoing. Jaraula said he will file a motion for reconsideration to reconsideration to Sandiganbayan. Jaraula, 83, who served as this city’s congressman for three terms from 1998 to 2007, insisted he has no participation in the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam. Napoles was said to be the mastermind of the PDAF scam where public funds were pocketed in cahoots with senators and members of the House of Representatives and other public officials and private

individuals. The former legislator said he was not involved in the pork barrel controversy, but recalled he was dragged into the scandal when he proposed three projects for his district shortly before his last term as congressman ended. In 2007, during his last six months in office, Jaraula said he submitted three project proposals to the House of Representatives’ appropriations committee MINDEX Treeplanting.

Strong earthquake shook towns in Mindanao By ASANGAN T. MADALE Contributor

ILIGAN CITY, Lanao del Norte: As reported by the Philippine Volcanic Discovery (yesterday February 7, 2021 Just 10 minutes ago, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Digos, Davao del Sur, Davao, Philippines. The tremor was recorded around noon on Sunday 7 February 2021 at 12:22 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10 km below the surface. The event was filed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismological agency to report it.

A second report was later issued by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, which listed it as a magnitude 6.3 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 6.0. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been felt by everybody in the area of the epicenter. In those areas, dangerous ground shaking occurred with the potential to inflict moderate to heavy damage to buildings and other infrastructure. See SHOOK, page 8

On pork price inquiry

Pascual wants meeting with Oro’s hog raisers COUNCILOR Jay R. Pascual, chair of the City Council committee on agriculture, proposed that all hog raisers in the city be invited to a meeting to shed light on the price increase of pork in the local market. This was his response to Councilor Edna M. Dahino’s query on the matter during the City Council regular session Monday presided over by Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin V. Uy. “I would like to suggest nga mag joint-committee hearing or a committee as a whole nga i-invite nato ang mga hog-raisers sa Cagayan de Oro kay ang ila man gud giingon nga maski wala ang mga backyard (raisers), kaya man nila mag produce See MEETING, page 8

Technical Vocational Skills at Risk in Remote Learning Catalina Bondoc-Kionisala T-III

In this so-called new normal, our lifestyle has been greatly affected in so many ways. We can no longer do the same routine anymore without our masks on or disinfectant. Everything changed and even though a year has passed, we are still not ready and accustomed to it. Particularly in the field of education, the mode of teaching and learning is not the typical anymore. For the first few months, the gates of school had been closed, the four corners of our classrooms had been covered in dust, and the hallways and corridors were deafening in silence. Studying halt for a moment. When the class reopened, everyone was alienated with the setup. The unfamiliarity of the situation posed concerns whether the reopening would be effective or futile. Moreover, the students lack the motivation to continue schooling on top of their lack of readiness and resources in remote learning. Everyone is complaining that they are not learning anymore but rather just complying the requirements

to somehow pass the semester. One disadvantage of remote learning is the absence of opportunity to practice skills-related courses like the TLE subject where hands-on experience is a must. In remote learning, students study the modules for cookery, welding, horticulture, dress making, electric installation management, etc. But not everyone has the means to practice these learnings at the comfort of their homes. Unlike in school where equipment and machineries are provided, studying technical vocational skills at home is meaningless. By the time face-to-face operation is carried out, perhaps the students forgot the theories already. I think it is safe to say that technical vocational skills are threatened in this kind of setup. The new normal limits the opportunities for our young students to practice and master their skills as early as now. As long as we subscribe to the remote learning arrangement, no true skills will be born out of technical vocational-related subjects.

MISAMIS ORIENTAL, Feb. 2 (PIA)--Information officers from various local government units (LGUs) and government line agencies of Misamis Oriental convened recently in a virtual meeting in preparation for the government’s campaign for the COVID-19 vaccination. As the country continues its war on two adversities, the COVID 19 pandemic and the communist terrorist, information officers play a vital role in informing the public of the government’s

plan, programs and projects. Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-10 chief Franklin Gumapon underscored the importance of countering disinformation and misinformation peddled on social media particularly on COVID-19 vaccination. With the upcoming COVID 19 vaccination program, the group aims to help inform the public of its importance to bounce back from the pandemic. Aside from the vaccination program, the group has

been urged to spread good stories about the government programs, services and accomplishments to counter the propaganda of government’s neglect by the communist terrorist group (CTG). The Misamis Oriental Information Officers Network seeks to strengthen the information programs of the province to equip the Misamisnons with factual and credible information to combat fake news.

(VPSBautista/PIA10)

The arrival of the vaccines will jump start the vaccination roll-out plan of the government and the first sets of the vaccines will be given to the frontliners. Though COVID-19 vaccines are coming, reports have it that around 40 percent of Filipino are not willing to be vaccinated due to the Dengvaxia vaccine issue. To assure the public of the safety of COVID vaccines, the PCOO and the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) would be conducting a nationwide

“Pagdu-aw Program,” which aims is to explain the vaccination rollout plan of the government and its safety. As the CORDS for region 10, Andanar will meet with the Department of Health (DOH) Regional Director Adriano Suba-an and DOH officials to discuss the vaccination rollout plan in the region. “It is important that Region 10 will get its share from the upcoming 2 million vials,” he said. The secretary has clarified that the vaccines will See SAYS, page 11

We Heal As One

By CATALINA BONDOC-KIONISALA T-III

The new normal is the now normal. We go out of our homes and go to work with a mask on. Alcohols are essential than lipsticks. Every day, we bring with us our protections—disinfectants, mask, and prayers. Recently, the COVID cases in town have risen drastically. Everyone was alert not to get infected. With our invisible walls of protection, we are still unknowingly attacked by the virus. A saddening news shocked the entire community of MFNHS and MFCES when cases were recorded among our colleagues. Anxiety crept in each one of us, thinking if we are still safe or not anymore. Despite of that, we remained optimistic with the situation. Some of us were quarantined and tested. Coming to work was suspended for days. Those times were horrific as we are frontliners. One story that shivers my body ‘til this day is

the unknown person who prayed over our schools for the past days. Since some teachers were isolated at school, the gates have been closed. Module distribution was stopped for the meantime. But there was a time when some people kept seeing a person praying in front of the gate. You could tell that that someone was praying for the teachers. It was just a small and quick gesture but it makes us, frontliners, teary-eyed. We should not blame anyone with the mishap. Instead, that moment made us stronger and braver to face the challenges of our work being frontliners. It united both school communities to fight and survive the deadly virus so that we can continue serving our students. Through the safety measures and prayer warriors of each school, we healed as one and we will continue to be of instrument to others.

ALUBIJID, MisOr —The experience of catching sea waves in this emerging ‘balsa’ capital of Misamis Oriental was an extra treat for the weary soul at this time of pandemic. Chasing waves were interim metaphors of life on how we look at the challenges of life amid this era of uncertainties. Indeed, chasing the perfect wave was an exhilarating encounter to be had on a fine weekend with restless buddies. Perhaps this could easily pass as our way of unbundling present-day lifestyles in the new normal. The splurge was unwinding, more so charging like fighting the pandemic that we are currently struggling to overcome — and survive. Never in our lifetime that an invisible enemy could downturn in an instant our way of life.

Not this kind of global health crisis that had scared us to the teeth — and down to our spines. The damage had been so fatal, so damning in a sense that we were beaten down and out, hard and blue. The truth of the matter is that the global health crisis that we are now at war with has weakened us to the fore. It brought us down into a serious situation never before seen and felt on a global scale. That said, fighting the pandemic has forced us to make unnecessary tradeoffs between our lives, the environment and our livelihoods. Millions are now close to subsistence, and worse — at their survival boundaries. And worst, getting a decent three square meals these days had become nightmares to the millions who are have-nots and the

marginalized. While Covid-19 vaccines are being developed as quickly as possible, no guarantee yet of immediate relief, nor instant cure. The new coronavirus variant that was initially discovered in the UK, is now with us — detected and confirmed through a returning Filipino businessman from Dubai. There is no way for now but to take safety as top priority, while waiting for the vaccines, be it from the US, Germany, or from China. What matters most is the sense of urgency, not the brand, nor the origin. (ruffy44_ph2000@yahoo. com)

Speaking Out

Ayala Vaccine and Immunization Program (AVIP) I first heard about it last Wednesday when I received an email query sent by Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) HR head, SVP Gina Eala. Ms. Eala asked me and the other email recipients if we wanted to get vaccinated against COVID 19 and, if affirmative, for us to fill up a survey form. The following day, she invited us to attend a lunchtime webinar, where we can be updated on the proposed Ayala Vaccine and Immunization Program (AVIP). Despite a very short notice, over a thousand group officers and employees attended. That’s where I learned that the Ayala Group has already purchased 450,000 doses of the Astra Zeneca vaccine through a Tripartite Agreement, for donation to the government, half of which will be administered to persons nominated by Ayala Corporation. I also learned from AC Health President/CEO Borromeo that on top of that, Ayala will be procuring anywhere from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 doses from a group of accredited suppliers (currently Astra Zeneca and Moderna, and, possibly soon Novovax). The total orders will depend on the survey results as “we do not want to over-order or under-order,” Borromeo added. This batch of vaccines will be allotted primarily to insure safety in the Ayala workplace, as part of Ayala’s share of heavy lifting during this abnormal time.

Per the guidelines prepared by Ayala HR heads, chaired by JP Orbeta, the following may participate in the AVIP: • Direct hired employees, consultants and project employees • Members of the Board of Directors (BOD) • Retirees • Employees of contractors, vendors and suppliers deployed to an Ayala Business Unit • Dependents of employees, members of the BOD and retirees An FAQ sheet distributed to Ayala Group employees explained: “Dependents” include any individual residing in the same household as the employee, BOD and/or retiree. This may include spouse, parents, in- laws, children, siblings, household staff, etc., ages 18 and up. “Other dependents” include other relatives and their household staff not residing in the same household as the employee, BOD and / or retiree. This may include spouse, parents, in-laws, children, siblings, household staff, etc., ages 18 and up. The first batch of vaccines is expected to be available at the earliest in May but since the delivery of the vaccines will not be in one lot, but in batches, the vaccine administration will be based on the government-mandated and AVIP priority guidelines on availability of supply, distribution and timing. In coordination with the

Ignacio Bunye

National Task Force Against COVID-19, the proposed participants have been prioritized by the Ayala Group HR, in the following order: 1. Frontline Health care workers- a. Directly involved in COVID Care b. Working in health-care setting 2. Seniors – whether frontline or non-frontline 3. Other front-liners (adults) – banking, construction, engineering, malls, hotels, technicians, transportation, logistics, teachers 4. Other essential workers 5. Other employees 6. Other contractual staff (non-health care workers, non-front liners)The prospective vaccine participant will not be able to choose the brand of the vaccine but will be jabbed whatever is available when his/her number is called. AC Health, which will administer the AVIP, assures of the high quality and efficacy of the vaccines approved for procurement. How much is the complete package of the COVID-19 vaccination? The current estimated cost for enrollment in the vaccination program is Php3,0004,000 per person. The estimated amount will cover the costs of administration (unless shouldered by the government), doctor’s consultation, post-monitoring consultations and unlimited consultations for a period See AYALA, page 11

Philippine Kto12 Basic Education Curriculum

By ROBOMAFEL EXCHAURE VENIALES Teacher III of Camp Evangelista Elementary School

The Kto12 Basic Education Program is the current curriculum that the Philippine education have implemented. The aim of which is to produce Filipino learners who are capable to compete globally. Under this curriculum, it includes kindergarten, six years in primary education, four years in junior high school and two years in senior high school, which makes it twelve years in total for the basic education. Nothing much change in primary school and junior high school, majority of the changes focuses on the senior high school. Loving what you’re doing gives you natural talent for the job, but how will you hone that talent to make it your best asset for a successful future? What if you’re not sure what you’re good at? How should you find it? The answer to these queries is the two years senior high school. Senior High School serves as guide and a stepping stone in producing a competitive learner globally. During these two years, learners are categorized into three

tracks according to their interest and strength namely academic track: technical-vocational-livelihood (TVL); sports and arts. Academic tracks include three strands: Business, Accountancy, Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Students will have various options and be able to identify what they have interested at. Students are train to develop and master their skills holistically. With the Kto12 program of the department, it gives students sufficient time in mastering their skills and widen their concepts of the area they are good at, and develop lifelong learners which is capable of facing the real world. By completing the Senior High School Program, it produces graduates that are ready for employment and prepared for tertiary education, equipped with skills and knowledge with clear mind of how they wanted to see themselves in the future.

PCCI supports gov’t move to ensure supply of meat in the markets 04 February 2021 - The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), the largest business organization in the country, expressed its support to the move by the government to ensure the stable supply of meat and meat products in the market amidst shortage in the country’s local production. In a statement, the PCCI said it is confident in the leadership of Secretary William Dar as the Department of Agriculture (DA) puts up safeguards against those who manipulate the supply and price of agricultural products and assured to increase the transport of pork, chicken, and vegetables from the Visayas and Mindanao to Metro Manila and to Kadiwa outlets and, the provision of subsidy for the logistical cost of supplying pork and chicken in Metro Manila. “The DA is doing its level best to address the situation. The allocation of funds should be able to help indemnify hog farmers and to help them as they cope with the shortage brought about by the African Swine Flu (ASF),” Roberto Amores, PCCI’s Director for Agriculture said. Meanwhile, PCCI President, Amb. Benedicto V. Yujuico said immediate and doable interventions have to be made to address the supply of pork and to stabilize prices across the food value chain. PCCI proposed the calibrated importation of pork as an immediate remedy “until such time that the spread of the ASF is curbed and local hog raisers can safely return to their industry.” “The risk of contamination and spread of the virus is really high because there is no available vaccine yet for ASF. A calibrated importation

program is an option government can consider to secure supply and bring down the price of pork,” Yujuico said. Yujuico said that the move to import pork is attuned to the Department of Agri-

culture’s (DA) food security program especially at this time when supply is short and prices are soaring. PCCI emphasized that the DA and the government’s economic team should con-

tinue to strengthen local production through more accessible financing and technology and infrastructure support, including additional cold storage facilities for the agriculture sector.

21st Century Teacher in New Normal Education By CHARLYN D. EROCIDO February 1, 2021 Baliwagan Central School Division of Misamis Oriental

The new normal for education requires us to unlearn what we have always known: rows of desks, heavy bags, mass lectures, public exams, and (broken) parent-teacher communication. Unlearn those, and we can establish the new normal of education. While everyone seems to directly correlate online learning with the new normal, it is not the whole story. Online learning is essential as an enabler of learning so that the whole business of education will not stall, but there are more facets to pay attention to in defining the new normal. What this means is instead of going to

school and university premises to learn, learning now happens at home within our personal spaces. The transition of spaces has been happening since Web 2.0 (the second stage of development of the Internet, mainly characterised by user-generated content on social media) because learning can now be done through our personal devices without having to go somewhere physically. Along with that comes a shift in our social interactions, from physical to virtual. We still interact with the learning community we are in. We still exchange conversations with classmates, teachers and lecturers. We are not cut off from the learning community, we have merely shifted our communication channels.

No apprehension for violators of car seat law yet - DOTr By MARITES B. PANEDA

QUEZON CITY, Feb. 5 (PIA) - The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) assured the public that the agencies will not yet apprehend violators of Republic Act 11229 or the “Child Safety in Motor Vehicle Act” mandating the use of Car Restraint System (CRS) or car seats for children aged 12 years and below. This after the two agencies agreed that because of pandemic, considerations should be given so as not to add up to the financial burden of Filipinos at this

time. Instead, LTO aims to raise the level of awareness of motorists on the need to safely secure children inside private vehicles, and to turn this safety practice into a habit and part of a disciplined road culture. “We are embarking on an information campaign drive home point that this [RA 11229] is all about safety and that it must be practiced and part of our road discipline and safety culture because lives matter especially the lives of our children, the future of our nation”, DOTr emphasized.

Government to hold ‘time, motion’ simulations on vaccine deployment By LADE JEAN KABAGANI

MANILA – The government will be conducting a series of “time and motion” simulations on the deployment of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccines next week, in preparation for the arrival of the jabs in the country, National Policy Against Covid-19 chief implementer and vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said on Friday. “This coming next week, magkakaroon kami ng time and motion doon sa airport (we will be having simulation on time and motion in the airport) and then how we will deliver the vaccines,” he said in a press conference. Galvez said the vaccine deployment simulation includes laying down of the coordination system “from arrival of the vaccines to the airport’s point of entry, going to the warehouse and

to the point of distribution”. The simulation of the actual time of vaccine deployment would prevent vaccine wastage, he added. “Para makita natin talaga ‘yung actual time na wala pong masasayang at prepared po yung magsiset ng bakuna (So that we could determine the actual time and that nothing will put to waste--it also ensures the preparedness of those who will set the vaccines),” said Galvez. The vaccine czar cited the

importance of monitoring the preparedness of the local government units (LGUs) to receive the coronavirus vaccines. “Para walang masayang na bakuna. At least makikita natin na yung pupuntahan ng bakuna prepared na prepared na yung mga LGUs at saka yung magre-recieve ng bakuna natin (To avoid wastage of vaccines. At least we can be assured that the LGUs who will be securing the vaccines are well-prepared and ready to receive it),” said Galvez. Based on the assessment of the Coordinated Operations to Defeat Epidemic Team, Galvez noted that the LGUs in Metro Manila are ready and prepared enough

to receive the Covid-19 vaccines. “Ang preparations ng ating mga LGUs ay very See VACCINE, page 9 Republic of the Philippines Department of Transportation LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING & REGULATORY BOARD Regional Office No.10, Apovel, Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City ARNULFO A. TADLAS

disasters in the Philippines. The Cebu Pacific airplane, a McDonell Douglas DC-9-32, bound for Cagayan de Oro from Manila, crashed into the mountain, killing all the 99 passengers and five flight crew on Feb. 2, 1998. A 20-foot memorial shrine, dedicated to those who perished in the tragic event and erected about 20 years ago, is located within the complex. Based on the blueprint, the site will have coffee shops, fruit stands, camping areas, flower gardens, and other amenities to promote food tourism, and historical and cultural tourism in the province. Lawyer Jeffrey Saclot, provincial tourism officer, said with the completion of the complex’s first phase, more tourists are expected to come to Misamis Oriental. He assured that the national government’s health protocols would be strictly implemented in light of the coronavirus disease pandemic. He said the tourist destination “aims to encourage people to have a wider array of options when visiting the area by boasting of amenities and attractions previously known to be available only from neighboring provinces.” Saclot added expansion of the complex is still in the pipeline. In his message during the tourism site’s inauguration in time for the Flight 387’s 23rd anniversary on Tuesday, Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano described the project as a “milestone that will cement Misamis Oriental into the tourism map of the Philippines.” Emano said the complex “will also present new opportunities for livelihood for many Misamisnons due to the expected influx of tourists.” Due to the area’s cold weather, the governor said the stretch of land located along Highway 955 between Gingoog and Claveria DEED OF EXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF REAL ESTATE WITH WAIVER OF RIGHTS OF A PARCEL OF LAND

might as well become the summer capital of Misamis Oriental, if not the whole of Mindanao. Since the highway was opened a few years ago, it served as a diversion road that cuts short travel time from western Misamis Oriental to the province’s eastern towns and vice versa. Establishments such as restaurants, coffee shops, and other places of interest have also opened near Highway 955. However, the tourism complex’s jurisdiction is still being contested by the local governments of Gingoog and Claveria, with both parties awaiting court decision. As a compromise, Erick Cañosa and Meraluna Abrogar, mayors of Gingoog and Claveria, respectively, signed a memorandum of understanding essentially consenting to Emano’s proposal that 40 percent of the complex’s earnings will go to the provincial government, and the 60 percent will be split in half by Claveria and Gingoog. Once the court has decided on who is the rightful claimant of the contested land, the winning party will get the 60 percent share, while the province will still receive its 40 percent, Emano said. Energy fund Emano said the complex was constructed using funds from the Energy Regulation (ER) 1-94, or the local government’s share in the electricity sales of powergenerating companies operating in the province, with a budget of PHP16 million in 2019. Part of that fund came from German power producer Steag State Power Inc., which turned over P3.54 million to the provincial government as part of Misamis Oriental’s ER 1-94 share. At the turn-over of the PHP3.54 million check on December 23, 2019, Emano said he would show the Steag management “that the money that you entrusted to the provincial government DEED OF EXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF REAL ESTATE WITH WAIVER OF RIGHTS OF A PARCEL OF LAND KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:

Mon-Tue, February 8-9, 2021 will never go to waste. We will implement it properly.” Emano also unveiled the project plan to the public during the turnover ceremony. Moving on For Fe Vallejos, 71, visiting the shrine was one way to cope with the loss of her son Omar Kim, one of the plane passengers who perished in the crash. Vallejos said Omar Kim was then a village council member of Barangay 2, Balingasag town, Misamis Oriental, at the time of his death. She said Omar Kim is the second eldest among six siblings and would have been 47 years old by now. “He just went to Manila to attend to some personal matters. We didn’t expect that he would die so suddenly and so young,” Vallejos said. Although it was painful at first, she said she has learned to accept her son’s death with time. (PNA)

Creating a Conducive Place for Learning By TEREZA ACE D. TORRES Teacher 1 Balubal National High School Balubal, Cagayan de Oro City

“Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve and contribute to improving our quality of life” - Sheldon. Bill Harley in his famous quote said, “Every child needs a safe place to fall - a place where he or she can explore things without worrying about failure and judgment. A library is one of those places. In a library you can learn by following your own nose, which is very different from someone telling you what you should learn. Once a kid learns a library is hers, to use as she wants, the world opens. I’ve seen it happen. It happened to me.” Moreover, libraries are essential in the development of giving citizens access to knowledge. At present, they are needed more than ever before. In times of the internet, everyone can visit a library without leaving home. It’s just a matter of opening a library internet site, and you can not only get an e-book but also ask the librarian an online query. Most significantly, still, libraries are the places where you can anticipate smart and clear answers to even the most challenging questions. In addition, a library is a compendium of sources of information and related resources, made convenient to a defined community for reference or borrowing. It renders physical or digital access to material and may be a physical building or room, or a virtual space, or both. According to some research, schools with a strong school library program and a certified school librarian ensure their students have the best chance to succeed. More than 60 education and library research studies have produced clear evidence that school library programs staffed by qualified school librarians have a positive impact on student academic achievement. These studies clearly demonstrate that strong school library programs help all students do better academically, even when other school variables are considered. Meanwhile, the Department of Education through Balubal National High School supports the initiative of every institution to augment and improve its local resources by engaging external stakeholders to support academic and non-academic activities of the school in the form of human resources, materials or equipment and financial supports as provided under Republic Act No. 8525 otherwise known as the Adopt-A-School Act of 1998. Furthermore, the Corpus Christi School Alumni Batch 1999, represented by its Batch President, Earle Chardin F. Rabe adopts Balubal National High School Library with the following projects; the general physical improvement of the library, book shelves and furni-

ture refurbishments, provision of additional reading materials, and sectioning and cataloging of reading materials as stated in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) set on May 3, 2019 and will be terminated on May 3, 2021. The collaboration between Balubal National High School and Corpus Christi School Alumni Batch 1999, embraced the opportunity to create a conducive area for library works and activities among teachers and students through renovation to adapt the fast-paced higher education environment. According to Hutton (2012) indicates that collaboration with campus partners is essential in providing a holistic approach to meeting student needs. Considering the dynamic nature and fast-paced change in higher education it is important to plan suitable facilities, technologies and support structures to meet and anticipate the ever-changing needs of the 21st century learner. In addition, the new image of Balubal National High School Library with its new learning resources makes a big impact on the life of the students especially those pullout readers. They become more motivated to read and learn more — which makes reading easier and more enjoyable. To this end, we cannot underestimate the impact of reading engagement on improving reading literacy and learning. A growing body of research shows that reading engagement is a key element in a student’s success. Research by Guthrie and Wigfield found that learning opportunities generated by engaged readers themselves were roughly equal to several years of education at school (Guthrie J.T. & Wigfield A. (2000). Therefore, every school must have a fully functional library since it plays a great role in the life of students’ success by serving as the store house of knowledge. A library that provides and promotes quality literary work to develop and sustain in students the habit of reading that will enable them with the skills necessary to succeed in a constantly everchanging technological, social and economic situation also assure each student has equitable access to resources. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in his famous maxim said, “At the dawn of the 21st century, where knowledge is literally power, where it unlocks the gates of opportunity and success, we all have responsibilities as parents, as librarians, as educators, as politicians, and as citizens to instill in our children a love of reading so that we can give them a chance to fulfill their dreams.” and “At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better. It’s an enormous force for good.”

Multicultural Education By LENNIE P. CANONIO, Teacher II San Antonio Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

MULTICULTURAL education is a set of educational strategies developed to assist teachers when responding to the many issues created by the rapidly changing demographics of their students. Multicultural literacy aims to help first-year students understand and respect differences based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, social class, religion, and ability. Multicultural education is an idea, an educational reform movement, and a process. As an idea, multicultural education seeks to create equal educational opportunities for all students, including those from different racial, ethnic, and social-class groups. Multicultural education focuses on nurturing admiration and appreciation about diverse ethnocultural heritage, in young minds. Children are imbibed with greater knowledge and un-

derstanding about how to behave in a more culturally responsible manner. They acquire skills to navigate various cultures. Multicultural education has five main characteristics and goals. These are content integration, knowledge construction, prejudice reduction, equity pedagogy and empowering school culture and social structure. The method encourages students to participate while keeping their culture and values intact and, this makes them feel a sense of inclusion. When teachers have a better understanding of the intricacies of multicultural classrooms, they can then help students discover their academic strengths by helping them discover their own learning style. If educators make this learning style quest a class project, an inherent lesson in multiculturalism is taughta.

AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY (The Teacher’s Diary)

By GLORIA BEQUISO SABAL Master Teacher II-Tablon Elementary School

When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a Chemist. I had lots of fun mixing liquids at home. I was even scolded by my late father for spilling his favorite coconut wine “tuba” when I had it mixed with kerosene and cooking oil one afternoon when I was alone at home due to curiosity of what will be the output. When Papa asked me why I love to be a Chemist so much, the answer I gave was that “I wanted challenges in life”. Papa told me there is no challenge in mixing liquids because according to him it is just a waste of money and time. He even told me I will never be rich if I’d become a Chemist (but becoming rich was not part of my dream). I was not discouraged by him. I still dreamed to become one until an unexpected incident happened in my life when I was in my first year in Chemical Engineering. It was not worth sharing because it causes a lot of pain. Because of the incident, I shifted to education, the course I hated the most in my younger days. I finished education with flying colors and had my first teaching experience somewhere in West II District. For me, teaching is boring and less fun. That was my perspective during my first year in the service. After being exposed to different sets of learners from different schools (since from West II I was transferred to East II in two schools from Linangohan to my present station, Tablon elementary School) and after watching how kids took their journey towards a brighter future I learned to love teaching. Then, I realized that every day in my life as a teacher is a challenge. From taking care of my pupils’ education to even handling their mixed behavior including the parents who have different walks of life. It was challenging indeed. Teaching

is not boring at all. Teaching requires competence, perseverance and patience because you are handling fragile personalities every day. The experience I had made me believe that those are the only challenges I face in my whole life. When COVID19 broke the silence in the life of the people, I found the true challenge in teaching. At first I thought the pandemic has less effect to us without knowing it affects the entire aspect of everyone’s life. It affects the educational system which lead to the adaptation of some changes which always change from time to time depending on the kind of scenario the virus creates. The challenge of making our distant learners learn in their own way at home with the guidance of their parents who are not even education graduates. The challenge of computing grades to learners whom you do not know the performance. The challenge of waking up ever y day waiting for another changes DepEd will make. But the greatest challenge I face in this pandemic times is how to manage my time from sorting modules, checking bunch of answer sheets, attending seminars online and even face-to-face, preparing lots of paper works, dealing with parents’ queries online, through texting and even in messenger, looking for learners who failed to pick-up modules, finding interventions to LARDOS and all others. But with our commitment and dedication to service, all these obstacles are hurdled smoothly and will be hurdled because I believe these challenges I face make me stronger and even braver to face the upcoming storms in my teaching career, though this is an unexpected journey but this will lead to a more competitive and determined ME in the coming days.

Student-journalists during the pandemic By SATURNINA P. ERQUITA, Teacher I Domingo A. Barloa Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

JUST weeks into the effort, many areas are struggling to reach their vaccination goals. The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine promises to be the story of 2021. It’s a sign of hope as the world approaches a year of the coronavirus pandemic, but just weeks into the effort, many areas are struggling to reach their vaccination goals. Here are five ideas for any student publication. Is your province or city having issues with vaccine rollout? Have vaccines been distributed as planned, or have there been logistical issues? How will your school handle vaccinations for medical students, nursing students and others who work in health care? How does their place in line compare to other health care workers? If they’ve gotten vaccines,

what was their experience like? What questions can you answer for your student audience? How will your school handle vaccinations for medical students, nursing students and others who work in health care? How does their place in line compare to other health care workers? If they’ve gotten vaccines, what was their experience like? What questions can you answer for your student audience?

Parents and Leaners Coping Mechanism in The New Normal By ROBOMAFEL EXCHAURE VENIALES Teacher III of Camp Evangelista Elementary School

The new normal education is easy being said than done. Every person in the community is affected, but it causes chaos to the learners and the parents. Some parents are too dependent on teachers on giving proper education to their children, so when the new normal education kicks in, there children are left alone to deal with the modules. Recently, there have been news about students committing suicide due to stress in handling the modules, if parents are around to guide and support those kids, it could have been prevented. Some parents are hooked with there job, working from dawn to nightfall, earning just enough to put food in their table three times a day, they don’t have any spare time to sit with their children for modules. And

so, children are left alone to comprehend their modules with the assistance of internet without knowing if the source of information are authentic and valid. In order to cope up with the new normal education, some parents sacrifice their time for work, spend extra. money to hire tutees and in return, learners force themselves to learn independently and ask help to whoever grown ups available for their modules. Given these situations, learning with this new normal education is regressive, it will lag the learning process of every learner. However, some families are fortunate enough to have more time to spend with children and to have other memberS of the family that is capable of lending a hand to the learners. The most affected are those less fortunate household.

PTA involvement in the new normal By ROSEMARIE SALISE Teacher III Sacred Heart Village Elementary School

WE need to get in touch 100 percent of our families, making sure they have everything they need for their children to learn and give families whatever support they need. Many principals across the country have echoed some version of this statement in the rapid shift to distance learning forced by the COVID-19 pandemic. But why did it take a global health crisis to get to this point? There are so many crucial equity questions in distance learning but the importance of parent involvement in academic outcomes have never been in question. Yet there are still so many issues about how and to what extent

parents of all demographics and income levels are meaningfully included in school decision-making or asked to support their children’s academic success. There is a powerful case for making meaning parental engagement a critical piece of what K-12 education looks like during and after this pandemic. To make this case and share powerful, necessary difficulties are needed to close this gap. Whether or not as must be doing more to support families is a moot point. Here’s the reality: the only way to prevent COVID-19 from deepening inequality for an entire generation of children is to equip families to support learning at home.

to be set by the vaccine administrators. AC Health gives the assurance that it will still endeavor to bring down the price. Who will pay for the participation in the vaccine program? The Ayala business units will cover the cost participation in the vaccine program of their employees and of their Board of directors. Ayala is also providing access participation in the vaccine program for retirees, dependents and household staff at the same cost as for Ayala employees and will be fulfilled through an AVIP designed health care program, the cost of which will be shouldered by the respective employee. If the employee is not willing to shoulder the cost of the same, the employee may choose to go to an LGU or other sources for the vaccines for their dependents and household staff. JP Orbeta adds that participation in the program “is not mandatory, but highly recommended.” Who will administer the COVID-19 vaccine? As stated earlier, administration will be managed by AC Health, using their network of Qualimed hospitals and Healthway clinics, as well as partner healthcare providers. Alternatives such as home and onsite locations will also be provided. HealthNow will be AC Health’s online vaccination platform for scheduling, certification and post-consultations. In 2015, Ayala began to look into healthcare realizing that many basic healthcare needs of Filipinos remain unmet. With the aim of making quality healthcare more affordable and accessible, Ayala set up Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc./AC Health, a wholly owned subsidiary, which aims to build an integrated healthcare ecosystem that improves healthcare for all. Under AC’s umbrella are FamilyDoc Clinic, Qualimed, Generika and MedGrocer. Note: You may wish to share the foregoing via Facebook, Twitter or Linked-In.

COVID-19 virus transmission among students and faculty members. Taking into consideration the health and safety of our academes while ensuring continuous academic excellence, the DepEd created the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan. It consists of Modular Distance Learning, Online Distance Learning, and TV or Radio-Based Instruction, all set to aid teachers and students in holding ‘new normal’ classes all over the country, even in the far-flung areas with no internet connection. According to DepEd Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction Diosdado San Antonio, they needed to streamline the curriculum for the 2020-2021 academic year. “The public opinion has to be somehow addressed and [we] somehow succeeded in persuading the public that the Department of Education is offering basic education services to the youngsters of the Philippines. We made sure that we will protect the learners and teachers,” said Usec. Antonio. Furthermore, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology’s ‘Karunungan sa Kulungan’ Project will also be included in the same episode, featuring the story of an inmate teacher, who continues his passion for teaching kindergarten, with the children of his fellow inmates as his pupils. Catch “Edukasyon sa Gitna ng Pandemya” on Sunday, February 7, at 9:30 PM on PTV and IBC. It will also be livestreamed on the PCOO and the NTF COVID-19 Facebook pages, as well as other government-affiliated social media pages.

that shall be prepared: 1. A precise and concise document. 2. A long document that will tackle, among others, the institutional partnership and institutional building, the turn over as well as its timeline, and the route opening. The coordination meeting marked a huge leap for the Bangsamoro Government, Guro said. We are highly looking forward to helping the MOTC – BARMM to implement the programs of the Duterte Administration to the Bangsamoro Government, as far as the public land transport is concerned, he said. Worthy to make mention is the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) where the commuters will experience and live with public land transport that is more convenient, more accessible, more reliable, more environment-friendly and safer, Guro said. These public utility vehicles will feature OFG-compliant accessories such as CCTV, Dash Cam, WIFI, Speed Limiter, and GNSS, not to mention the Euro-4 engines that will help preserve our environment and the comfortable seats for the well-deserved convenience of the passengers. He said the legalization of the transport operators in the BARMM will safeguard the privileges of the passengers. Personal Passenger Accident Insurance, that only legitimate for-hire (public utility vehicles) may avail, the passengers can claim up to P400, 000.00 in times of accidents. This move in public land transport sector would lessen, if not totally eliminate, colorum operators. The fare will also be properly monitored and regulated and overcharging of this fare will be penalized. Our brothers and sisters will also have the opportunity to venture in the transport industry, the legal way. LTFRB is optimistic that the commuters of the Bangsamoro Government will have the same public land transport experience with other regions in Mindanao, he said.

He said there were three special allotment release orders (SAROs) for the projects, with P10 million each project. Jaraula said his proposed projects did not push through, but were replaced with seedlings and fertilizers, the supporting documents of which were not signed by him. Upon learning that his projects did not materialize, the former lawmaker said he sent an anonymous complaint to the Commission on Audit, on advice of a lawyer, believing that some powerful people in government might be involved. He said COA was able to trace the complaint back to him. Jaraula said he has not taken any part in the PDAF scam as he believed that the documents that implicated him were forged.

Bren Esports snares M2 Mobile Legends:

Bang Bang World Championship By SHANE LAWRENCE TY

THE Philippines Bren Esports topped the 2021 M2 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship recently held at the posh ShangriLa Hotel in Singapore. Bren Esports emerged as the world champions after beating Burmese Ghouls in a best-ofseven series. “Congratulations Bren Esports for making history as the first Philippine team to win the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship! Now officially the best Mobile Legends team in the world!” PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan said. The Mobile Legends tournament was livestreamed on the official Mobile Legends YouTube channel and Facebook page, and allowed Filipino fans and esports players a chance to witness the amazing

top-level Mobile Legends action live. Bren Esports, along with the other Philippine representative Smart Omega, competed against teams from Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Japan and Cambodia. A total of 12 teams from nine countries slugged it out in Singapore for the prize money of USD $300,000. Twelve teams from nine countries battled it out in Singapore for fame, glory and a year’s worth of bragging rights on the battlefield of Mobile Legends. “This tournament showed that Filipinos are indeed among the best esports athletes in the world. We have always believed that our players have the skills, talent, and dedication to reach greater heights. We hope that Bren Esports can be an inspiration to Filipino

casual players and fans to help them realize and pursue their passion for esports,” In his column Sports Without Borders published in the February 2, 2021 issue of

Business Mirror, sports columnist Vincent Juico interviewed Jab Escutin, COO of BrenPro Inc., the firm responsible for putting the winning team together. Escutin said they

recruited the best players based on their performance in tournaments and other competitions, but adjusted and recruited new ones who better fit their team’s composition. “It was surreal, to be honest, it’s something that’s still sinking in for us. The realization that all our hard work has paid off is really something we are grateful for,” he replied to Juico’s query about how winning felt. “We felt humbled because we felt that we have a responsibility to make sure that the next generation of esports athletes has something to aspire for through our team.” Although the team felt confident going into the tournament having done everything to prepare, they still experienced some jitters

when they were bumped to the lower brackets. “The grand finals was a real nail biter and we’re really happy the end results went our way.” Escutin also admitted the quarantine protocols they had to follow was the most challenging aspect of going to the Singapore tourney, since the isolation made it difficult for the team to prepare and strategize. “The safety of our players will always be our No. 1 priority, so we wanted to make sure we follow all the guidelines and documentation that was required for us to fly to Singapore and back to the Philippines.” Interested aficionados can still view the Match Highlights of the M2 World Championship at this URL: https:// www.facebook. com/BrenEsports/ videos/1047825019061776/
