First integrated steel mill in PH set to break ground this March Oro Chamber President Robert Pizarro

Former Secretary Jess Dureza

By MDN Editorial Team

AGAYAN de Oro —The country’s biggest integrated steel mill is set to break ground this March 2020 in time for the celebration of President Duterte’s 75th birthday.

Spearheading this historic event is Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc (Oro Chamber) President Robertino E. Pizarro as he calls on all stakeholders in Mindanao to join hands in pushing the project to hit the ground running early this year for the $4-billion steel mill plant at Phividec Industrial Estate in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Pizarro who is also the President and CEO of Simple Homes Development Corporation said all systems go to jump-start the country’s biggest single investment set to spur economic activity in Mindanao to an unprecedented level of development. Preparations of the ground breaking event are

now taking shape in alliance with various stakeholders and partners of the project, Pizarro said. PROJECT ALLIANCE Simple Homes Development Corporation is the lone Filipino partner of Huili Integrated Steel Mill, a China-funded investment that is seen to generate 10,000 jobs in the first three years of its operation. This first Mindanao Integrated Steel Mill is formed by China’s three leading companies – Huili Fund, Baowu Steel Group Corporation Ltd (China Baowu), and China Metalurgical Group Corporation’s subsidiary, CISDI Group Co Ltd. (CISDI). China Baowu, the new technical partner to operate the steel mill, currently

MinBC Executive Director Chug Torres

ranks first in China and second in the world as the largest steel producer in the world measured by crude steel output. China Baowu is poised to apply its state-of-art, green and intelligent technology in this steel project. MinBC SUPPORT First to signify its support to the realization of this steel plant was Rolando Torres, executive director of the Mindanao Business Council (MinBC). Torres said MinBC supports the Oro Chamber and all other business groups in Mindanao to make things happen for this project to accelerate the economic development of Mindanao. On the other hand, former Secretary on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza also gave his unwavering support to Pizarro and his team for the Steel Plant to stay on course as planned for the progress of Mindanao. “I am in one thought with the President to pursue peace and development in See STEEL, page 11

Bambi supports China steel project in Misor By MARK FRANCISCO

Misamis Oriental Governor Bambi Emano

MISAMIS Oriental Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano assured the public yesterday that there will be no red tape on the part of the provincial government when it comes to dealing with huge foreign investor Huili MCC Integrated Steel Mill Corporation. In an earlier meeting with representatives of the huge steel mill from China, Emano told company ex-

ecutives that Capitol will expedite the processing of pertinent documents so the company can operate on the appropriate timetable. “Dili nako batasan ug sa akong administrasyon nga dugay-dugayon ang pagproseso sa mga papeles sa mga mamumuhonan,” Emano said.

Finally, first wave of South Korean wastes shipped back By MARK FRANCISCO

IT was the beginning of the end for the misdeclared garbage from South Korea wallowing at a property inside Phividec Industrial Estate in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. This, as Bureau of Customs (BOC) district collector for Northern Mindanao John Simon led other officials Sunday in loading 2,400 metric tons of the trash to M/V L8 Nordmarsh at the Mindanao Container Terminal in Misamis Oriental. The remaining 2,700 metric tons of garbage will be shipped on February 9. The event capped the saga that started 25 months

ago in October 2018 when residents of sitio Buguac, barangay Sta. Cruz, Tagoloan town first reported to Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) committee on environment chair Gerardo Sabal III of huge volume of foulemitting garbage in their vicinity. Sabal’s committee immediately summoned Simon, the then Mindanao Container Terminal Customs collector, to shed light on the matter who reported that the garbage was able to breach through Customs port under the previous collector. See SHIPPED, page 11

SCOUTING By: CLINT K. MANZARANES

“Laging Handa”. Be prepared is the slogan of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. Pupils were instructed to prepare themselves in any situation that may occur in their localities. As early as five (5) years old pupils, through their parents, should engage in scouting movement. Scouting will make young boys to become independent. A series of trainings and activities under scouting advancement scheme are line-up in order to make our children ready to face the world through survival. People that will not survive in this world are those people who lack of skills and knowledge to live and face challenges in life. A series of individual requirements may be worked on simultaneously depending on school scouting program offered. Camping, compass work, nature observation, camp tools, swimming, first aid are just an example of the activities that the boy may work with. The principle of

learning by doing was used in the scouting movement because scouters believed that boys may learn more if they actualized what they have discussed. Boys cannot do it alone, they need the support of the elders or adult scouts to guide and monitor their progress. It takes a village to educate a child. Volunteers are what we need to help the boys. We are molding them to become good leaders someday. We are preparing them to take over our leadership for good. It is our prime responsibility as adult to prepare the foundation of good leaders. Join us in Balubal Elementary School, Cagayan de Oro City in scouting movement for the future of Balubal and our motherland. Lord Baden Powell the founder of scouting movement said I quote “You will not be called a real person until such time you bow your head and help the boy” unquote. Be part, not far from apart.

Customs district collector for Northern Mindanao John Simon supervises the closing of 60 container vans containing approximately 2,500 metric tons of garbage to be shipped back to Soutb Korea Sunday (January 19, 2020) at the Mindanao Container Terminal in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. The event marks the beginning of the end of a nearly two-year saga that started in July 2018 when 5,000 metric tons of garbage were discovered dumped at a property within Phividec Industrial Estate in sitio Buguac, barangay Sta. Cruz, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Subsequent probe yielded that the garbage came from South Korea and were misdeclared as recyclable plastic pellets. The second and last shipment is set on February 9. photo by mark francisco

Teaching Mathematics through problem solving: An approach to improve critical thinking JANEVE I. CABALLA T- III

Critical thinking as one of twingoals of Mathematics in the K - 12 curriculum calls out for realization in every classrooms and cries out for deep acquisition among each and every Filipino learners. Children are naturally curios and asking questions is like second nature to them. Thus, children can be trained to think critically the moment they begin to ask questions. The bigger question is that, what exactly is critical thinking? The International Psychological Association defines it as an intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as guide to belief and action. In the light of the revised Taxonomy of thinking, Krathwohl would suggest

that the more children incorporate those that are in the higher order thinking skills, the more they think critically. But how do we develop them to do so? Teaching Mathematics through Problem Solving is an approach seemingly familiar since problem solving has been widely used since time immemorial. However, let us learn that teaching through problem solving is an approach different from teaching for problem solving and even distinct from teaching about problem solving. Teaching through problem solving is an approach in the mathematics subject wherein a problem is posted at the beginning of the lesson. Divergent questions then will be the main ingredient to promote critical thinking. The open-ended questions will solicit varied kinds of answers mainly

deviant from the cliché teaching for problem solving wherein when one question is presented, will then be one expected answer. Mainly this approach is not an outcome-based teaching rather a process-based or what the new century calls as the reflective teaching. Thus, this approach tells us that the answers are equally important to the reasons given. We may imply that the reasons presented by the learners are the main key to achieve critical thinking. In this way, pupils who may have good and favorable reasons about the problem but have no answers may still be given opportunities to be considered. Why? Do all winning lawyers have the answers to the judge questions? I bet not, I just believe they have exceptional reasons to win a case. Thus, I believe that this approach will give greater hopes for our future generations.

3 DA eyes higher palay harvest in 2020 FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776

mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com

HE Department of Agriculture (DA) targets to produce more palay (unhusked rice) and import less rice this year, as farmers begin to reap the initial benefits of the government’s Rice Competitiveness En-

Aggie News

hancement Fund (RCEF) program. “We aim to harvest 19.6 million metric tons (MMT) of palay, net of damage due to adverse weather conditions,” said Agriculture Secretary William Dar, during his first media briefing, on

January 3, 2020, at the DA main office in Quezon City. “Our 2020 palay yield forecast would be three percent more than the estimated 2019 palay output of 19 MMT,” added the recently-confirmed DA chief.

“We expect that initial benefits of interventions under the P10-billion RCEF program, particularly on inbred rice seeds given free to farmers, will be realized during the dry and main season crops starting this year,” Secretary Dar added.

Philippine Ambassador to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Manuel Antonio Teehankee paid a courtesy visit to Agriculture Secretary William Dar on January 8, 2020 at the Department of Agriculture. Among the topics discussed were the upcoming Cairns Group Ministerial Meeting in Davos, Switzerland; 12th Ministerial Conference in Kazakhstan in June 2020; and other pressing issues. They also discussed the intensification of agri promotion strategy to push Philippine agricultural exports and developments on rice tariffication.

Tuesday, January 21, 2020

Inbred certified palay seeds produce an average of 4.54 MT/ha as compared to farmer home-saved seeds’ yield of 3.50 MT/ha and traditional seeds’ yield of 2.13 MT/ha, according to the DA-Philippine Rice Research Institute (DAPhilRice). “Hence, with RCEF seed intervention, we would generate an incremental yield of at least one MMT, as we will provide farmers nationwide, tilling a total of one million hectares, free certified palay seeds,” said Secretary Dar. The DA-PhilRice started distributing certified palay seeds in October 2019 for the dry-season planting in 947 rice-producing towns and cities in 57 provinces. Under RCEF, P3 billion is set aside each year for certified seeds up to 2024, where farmers will receive 40 kilograms (kg) per hectare of certified rice seed varieties for every planting season. “Further, with the adoption of modern technologies, and mechanizing land preparation, crop establishment and harvesting, farmers could attain an incremental yield of another one MMT of palay per hectare,” the DA chief said. Also under RCEF, the DA-Philippine Center for

Postharvest Development and Mechanization (DAPHilMech) will distribute P5-billion worth of farm machines and equipment to qualified farmers’ cooperatives and associations, and local government units. PhilMech research shows that mechanizing rice farming operations can reduce total palay production cost by P4/kg from the current average of P12/kg. “We have yet to mechanize Philippine agriculture, at a level of at least four horsepower (hp) per hectare (ha), and be at par with our ASEAN counterparts,” said Secretary Dar. Studies of the DA-PhilMech show the country’s level of mechanization is 1.23 hp/ha for all crops, 2.31 hp/ha for rice in all provinces, and 3 hp/ha in major rice-producing provinces like Isabela and Nueva Ecija. Under RCEF, rice farmers will also receive credit support worth P1B, through Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) and Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), and another P1B for trainings and scholarships through the DA’s Agricultural Training Institute (ATI), PHilMech, and PhilRice, and DTI’s Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

When jeepney drivers cross the line

BY THE time this column sees print, we may only have a few more days left before we enter February, the second month of the year and this means I only have a few more days left to spend with family before heading back to the US. Suffice it to say that I have enjoyed my time back home in Cagayan de Oro City and nearby Tagoloan town in Misamis Oriental and God willing, I pray that my husband Ronnie and I don’t encounter any last minute inconveniences or anything major that may happen in the remaining days of my vacation in this City of Golden Friendship. It’s a lot more worrisome in Luzon, where Taal Volcano is supposed to erupt any time soon. In fact based on my monitoring, the canceled flights heading to Manila may or may not

impact on my scheduled trip back to the US and I may have to do some last minute re-scheduling which I hope not to do. At any rate, it’s been quite a treat meeting old and new friends, spending quality time with my family and grandchildren and touching base with old media colleagues from way back. It’s especially nice spending Christmas and New Year here in Cagayan de Oro City even with the occasional ground ‘hiccup’ or quake that rattled the nerves. Aside f rom for mer media colleagues, I also chatted and spent time with old classmates—an alumni homecoming at the St. Mary’s Academy of Tagoloan town—at the and old co-workers at the local judiciary where I spent my early professional career

before venturing into the local mainstream media. Good times to say the least. ******************* Last week, I did talk about in passing the confrontation between drivers of the modernized public utility vehicles (PUVs) that serviced commuters heading to and out of Bugo and the drivers of the decrepit, aging passenger jeepneys who felt threatened by their competition. Based on what I read online, the passenger jeepney drivers were supposedly angry enough to demand that passengers get off the modern air-conditioned passenger vehicles and transfer to their aging, decrepit units. As to how the passengers reacted, your guess is as good as mine. Suffice it to say that there was no violence other than the angry outbursts typical

Susan Palmes-Dennis

of any heated confrontation between conflicting parties that if left unchecked would border close to the edge of something a bit more dangerous which nobody especially the passengers want or need. While I am grateful that I can either ride a taxi or have Ronnie drive me around, even if driving in the city’s streets ticks him off to no end, I can still remember my days riding jeepneys especially during my youth in Tagoloan town or even during my mainstream media days. And if in my old age I would still be riding jeepneys I just might, just might be confronting those jeepney drivers who demanded those See JEEPNEY, page 11

Have my say

Unlimited time off

Critics say giving workers unlimited time off can actually deter them from taking holidays - so are minimum leave policies the answer? An interesting question by BBC-author Maya Yang... . It reminds me on my own. For example, I decided to stop teaching. I found out, that from month to month, I really got only very limited time for myself and my family. In 2014, the leadership at social media management company Buffer noticed something odd. Despite an unlimited leave policy implemented in 2012, employees were barely taking any holidays. To encourage people to take more time off, Buffer – which employs remote workers globally, primarily in the US and Europe – introduced an incentive: a $1,000 annual holiday bonus

to each employee (and an additional $500 per partner or family member). It was a roaring success. In fact, it was too successful, costing the company too much money. Buffer pulled the plug on the policy in June 2016. Later that year, Buffer changed tack: instead of offering unlimited leave, it decided to strongly encourage employees to take a minimum of 15 work days off per year. Using an online planner, employees input leave requests and HR personnel track the number of days people take off via a collective calendar. Buffer’s minimum leave policy is unusual, even for a tech company. Unlimited time off is a much more common perk among startups and other tech firms – but despite the name, unlimited leave can feel

like anything but. Often, workers are at the mercy of their workloads, managers and company culture, a situation which can discourage people to take a fair amount of leave. Could insisting that people take a minimum number of days off be a better way to ward off burnout? Well, maybe. Talking again myself: I am in the great situation deciding about my days off and and a maybe unlimited time off. Just to avoid a burnout... . How about millions of Filipino workers? It’s interesting to know, that every country in the European Union is required by law to offer at least four weeks of paid holiday, with varying accrual policies per country (Austria takes the lead with 35 days of annual paid holiday). Similarly, in New Zealand, employers

Klaus Doring

must provide employees with at least four weeks of paid holiday, not including public holidays or sick leave. Philippines is much more different. Yes, I know... While still staying in Germany, I had the pressure of needing to prove myself and the mentality that I shouldn’t take many days off. Most often, it’s up to management to create a culture where workers feel comfortable taking leave, says Sir Cary Cooper, an organisational psychology professor at the University of Manchester. Many bosses lack the social and perceptive skills to detect employee burnout and reSee UNLIMITED, page 11

Hints and Traces

Connect the little to the big always While it’s true that we have to take care of the little things in our life, we should not forget that we are not meant to get detained there. We should always relate the little ordinary things in our life to the big and ultimate purpose of our life. Christ himself somehow referred to this point when he said, “Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be

dishonest with much.” (Lk 16,10) With those words, Christ somehow was relating and connecting the little with the big things in life. That is what we should always do. We should avoid getting entangled and lost in the little things and forgetting the big and more important things in our life. More specifically, we should not mistake the means for the end. Otherwise, we would also receive

the accusation Christ addressed to the Pharisees and some leading Jews of his time, who were entangled with their own ideas of what is right and wrong without referring them to God. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,” he said, “you pay tithes of mint, dill and cumin, but you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglect-

Roy Cimagala

ing the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.” (Mt 23,23-24) This anomaly can happen to us when in our confessions, for example, we accuse ourselves only of our failures to do our prayers, to offer sacrifices, to attend some daily Masses, etc., without See CONNECT, page 11

Sitio Sabangan starts 2020 with repurposed daycare center DULA TA BAI @ BES By: CLINT K. MANZARANES

B a lub a l E l ement ar y School was located far east of Cagayan de Oro City. It is a hinterland school manned by one school principal in the person of Relobe Zulita. Sports activities in our school are very active in which our primary goal is to help children find the success in sports they need to make them feel valued and wanted. Sports develop a sense of friendliness among the children and develop their team spirit. It helps children to develop mental and physical toughness. Most of our families livelihood in Balubal is farming. They prioritize the food that they can serve on their table. But inspite of this real situation, we do not deprive our pupils in dreaming to become a star someday through sports, especially on athletics. Jian Y. Anos a Grade VI- Mapagmahal student

under Florina M. Vaguchay made it to the Regional Level sports competition last December 2019 at Tubod, Lanao. His presence in the Regional Level proved that pupils in Balubal Elementary School can compete and excel if you dream and desire to achieve. He competed long jump and high jump event but failed to get the gold. Being part of COAA- Cagayan de Oro Athletics Association was considered as golden glory to our school for having Jian as part of it. His success in sports might not happened without the support of his parents, friends, Barangay Council, school, Mr. Clint Manzanares as coach and most specially to our Almighty God. Keep on dreaming, believing and achieving your desire. I do believe that you can make it as long as you have the heart to finish the race of your dreams.

N THE town of Sitio Lower Sabangan in Manolo Fortich, the only school facility that stood in the neighborhood was a small one-room daycare center. Although the center is able to provide basic education to its young students, both the space and the limited resources could only cater to a few number of learners. With the unpredictable weather in Bukidnon nowadays, Purok leader Judith Amoncio also worries that heavy rainfall would affect the classes. “Because the daycare is mainly made out of bamboo, rain water enters the room when the wind is strong, so classes may get cancelled.” A few meters from the old daycare center however, now stands a fully furnished container van serving as Sitio Sabangan’s new daycare center. The repurposed facility, turned over by Hedcor, comes with tables and chairs, as well as books and other learning materials. A comfort room and washing area are also provided by the container van-turned-daycare center. During the turnover of the P700,000-worth school facility, Manolo Fortich Mayor Clive Quiño expressed his gratitude

to Hedcor for the project. “It has been the Municipality’s and Hedcor’s goal that as much as possible we bring to the communities their very basic needs, one of which is education,” shared Quiño, who regarded Hedcor as their ‘partners for progress.’ “My heartfelt thanks goes to Hedcor, as always. They

really stand by their promise of Advancing Business and Communities,” he added. From a population of 19 students from Lower Sabangan, the daycare center will now house almost twice its number of learners, as the facility will cater students from Upper Sabangan as well. The container van was once

used by Hedcor to haul plant facilities such as turbines during the construction of its 73.3MW Manolo Fortich Hydros in Bukidnon. Hedcor is a run-of-river hydropower arm of AboitizPower. It currently operates 22 hydropower facilities with a total installed capacity of 277MW of Cleanergy.

The next generation of teachers By MARY GRACE C. CUIZON Teacher I Lazaro delos Santos Memorial Elementary School Bonifacio East District Division of Misamis Occidental

EDUCATION is vitla to the success of our region, our residents and our workforce. Teachers are vital to the future of our region. Teachers matter. Research shows teachers impact their students – short- and long-term, academically and non-academically. In fact, people who choose to become teachers do so because they want to have a positive influence on students.

My favorite part of being a teacher is the relationship I get to build with my students and getting to know their personal story, their families and goals. I focus on what they want to accomplish academically, who they want to be as a person and how can I help them get there. I also find working through a task with a student and witnessing him/ her experience the aha mo-

ment rewarding. I see these times as special moments shared between a teacher and student. I wanted to be a teacher because I am looking forward to an entire career filled with fulfilling moments like those will be. Community members must support their family members’ decisions to pursue teaching so that they (the young and ambitious ones) can pursue their own interest. Consider becoming a teacher. If you are a teacher, tell three people why teaching is a great profession. If you are a parent, show support for your child’s teachers by developing partnerships with them. Voice your appreciation for teachers. Share how your teachers helped you prepare for your career. Start and/or sponsor future teacher associations at local schools (be private or public). Advocate for teachers to have salary and benefits wequal to their professional contributions and expertise. Research clearly shows that the quality of teachers is the most important school level factor affecting students’ learning. We also learn that teachers’ satisfaction depends largely on the school context where they work especially whether it supports them in achieving success with their students. If it does not, they may well transfer to another school or leave teaching altogether. Schools that reliably retain teachers have similar features – a principal who manages the school fairly and effectively.

Teaching-Learning process and its pedagogy By: CONNIEBEL C. NISTAL, Ph.D

“Education is the capacity to feel pleasure, and pain at the right moment. It develops in the body and in the soul of the pupil all the beauty and all the perfection which he is capable of. It is therefore a dynamic force in the life of every individual influencing his physical, mental, emotional and ethical development. Thus, it enables a man to realize higher values of life which are essential for him to become ‘’ the root and crown of all creations’’ ( Plato, 428 BC-346 BC ). We must also remember that every individual gets education from his own experi-ences out of school as well as from those within whether it is formal or informal education. Schools try to impart systematic knowledge. It is in the school that a child

learns appropriate human relationships that exist. It is the avenue wherein learners are becoming conscious of their achievements and failures. Our department designs comprehensive programs in different aspects of learning and in different types of learners. Thus, its main goal is to bring all our people to a most productive individual by admitting ourselves to become educated with so much knowledge to apply for. This is where teachers are encouraged to give focused on the delivery of healthy interaction between teachers and pupils through the medium of environment to bring about learning which in turn helps to bring about behavioural changes and all-round development in

the child. Te aching – le ar ning process and its pedagogy is extremely important in the preparation of learners to become somebody in the near future. It aims to represents the channel through which every individual strive to require the habits, skills, knowledge, imparting skills and formation of attitudes, values and behaviour. Learning therefore becomes a process by which are necessary for effective participation in a democratic way of thinking. Learning is brought about through teaching, teaching process is the arrangement of environment within which the learn-ers can interact and study how to learn. Teaching involves setting appropriate learning

experiences for pupils, and for that pur-pose includes selection and sequencing of activities or kinds of interactions that would lead to expected learning. Teaching is intended to learning, for without teaching is incomplete. Learn-ing is a natural and common attribute in any human being. Education deals with positive changes in behaviour. Teaching is pur p osive and leads to intended learning. Every teachers sets the target for pupils and sets direction for deciding what is to be done in order to enable pupils to achieve these targets. These targets are regarded as learning target, which pupils learn at the end of each teaching situations. In the same way, every instructional method has been

iden-tified and propagated with the different types of learners in the classroom and how it is being utilized appropriately will enhance the teacher’s dedication and the competence in delivering the competencies. Lastly, teaching – learning process is much essential also that teacher should possess ef-fective classroom management whose atmosphere is appealing and friendly to learners. Where pupils feel a greater sense belonging, they’re more likely to be academically engaged and demonstrate positive behavior. It helped alleviate learner’s interests and boost teachers to become more dedicated and ser vice-oriented educators where learners are our main characters in the instructional core. Educat-

ing them to the realm of learning is our most regard. Incorpo-rating real-world assessment in classroom management courses for pre-service teachers that focus on pupil’s learning is a worthwhile endeavour for teacher educators in a way of control-ling pupil’s behavior to enhancing pupil’s learning and results. Lastly, teachers should also be assessed and given the chance for feed backing as basis for improvement resulting to a more constructive and comprehensive mentoring. This will encourage also the teachers to make some innovations for a productive results and acknowledge further their contribution in developing learners to a better and competitive individual.

Iligan gears up for 2nd round polio vaccination

ILIGAN CITY—Targeting 44,254 eligible recipients of polio vaccination, the local government here tackled budgetary requirements with the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Manage-

There is a budget constraint as stressed by the mayor since the City Health Office is running out of personnel including the city hospital. Thus, there is a need for volunteers to

Teaching 21st century learners MARICAR MONZALES-CEBALLOS Teacher I Balubal Elementary School

TWENTY-first century learners need 21st century teachers. The qualities of a 21st century teacher are compassion, commitment, creativity, competence and character. On the other hand, the skills of 21st century learners that need to be developed are critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, communication and collaboration and ICT literacy. Learners must be able to communicate clearly and collaborate with others.

They must apply technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate and communicate information. In using digital technologies, apply a fundamental understanding of the ethical/legal issues surrounding the access and use of information technologies. That’s because recent technological advances have affected many areas of our lives: the way we communicate, collaborate, learn and of course teach. Along with that, those advances necessitate an ex-

Adversity is the Best Teacher JANEVE I. CABALLA T – III

Have you ever noticed that when you think you have everything, and it does not make any sense anymore? Yes because probably the best adage may apply to you “Adversity is the Best Teacher.” Adversity is defined as misfortune and difficulty. So how come something that is a misfortune be the best educator in life? Why? Let us check out some details. We always learn more from challenging times than from the good times. When faced with difficulty our brains are working to resolve a problem. But when things are going good we are more relaxed, sometimes

R. A 10172 Form No 10.1 (LCRO)

we even stay to our comfort zones, and we rarely have the pressure to trying to figure something out. But when things are not going so great we try and learn what is causing the difficulties. We try our best to learn what we can do to address such problems. We refer to other peoples’ experiences and coping mechanisms. Even as we are sleeping, our subconscious mind is trying to find a solution to our adversity. Adversity is a catalyst that forces us to stretch. It propels us to find solutions to problems we never would have considered if not for the rocks that made us stumble.

Thus, it can evident that most of those who succeed are the ones that came from a lot of challenging experiences. So, if at this very moment you are questioning your higher being, why me, why this, why now? And all the whys in the world, maybe is for the greater good. Or else it is for your own good. No one goes through life without facing adversity, it is part of life. If adversity strikes, you can use it to your advantage by learning from it. Let adversity be a teacher to you. It will build your character and will test your determination. And, in the end, it will make you stronger.

Never before could learning be happening the way it is now – everywhere, all the time on any possible topic, supporting any possible learning style or preference. Thus, it can be said that the 21st century teacher has a learnercentered classroom.

peace and development in Mindanaao, and this steel project is one big opportunity Mindanaoans must support all the way”, Dureza said. MALACAÑANG WARNING Earlier, Malacañang has warned local politicians not to meddle in the construction of the $4-billion integrated steel facility inside a 305-hectare prime property of Phividec Industrial Estate in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. It can be recalled that in 2008, Hanjin Heavy Industries, a Korean shipbuilding conglomerate has started building its $2 billion shipyard facility at the same site only to pack up later because of widespread corruption allegedly committed by local officials. The Crusade for Clean Government (CCG), a volunteer watchdog against corruption in government has issued rhe same vigilance call of Malacañang to rid off irregularities in all transactions involving the mega project that is seen to generate an initial 10,000 jobs. CCG Lead Convenor Ruffy Magbanua said there is a need to establish safety nets to ward off corrupt local officials prying on the fat investments of the country’s largest integrated steel mill ever to be built in Mindanao. “For transparency, CCG will work In alliance with the Oro Chamber and other well-meaning business organizations to see to it that corruption is completely out in all transactions as the pet project of the President takes shape very soon”, Magbanua said. We will not allow the Hanjin experience to happen again in this biggest single investment in Mindanao, he said. Hanjin transferred its shipbuilding facility in Subic, Zambales only to suffer huge losses in the initial operations due to mismanagement. MOA SIGNING Late last year, a MOA signing was forged between Huili Fund Philippines President Jun Hou; Phividec Administrator Atty. Franklin Quijano; Misamis Oriental Governor Yevgeny “Bambi” Emano ; and Simple Homes CEO and President Robertino Pizarro for the lease with option to purchase the 305-hectare property at Phividec. The three-phase project will consist of a port, an integrated steel mill with a capacity of 10 million tons, an industrial park and other downstream industries. Last year’s delay was due to the rules that keep changing in the middle of the game. The project hit a corporate snag on the negotiating table last year. However, key players of this project had not lost their balance and remained upbeat and bullish as it were.

story that came out in this paper of a civic group – the Crusade for Good Government – warning government officials not to cause undue delay to the project, or they will report it to Malacañang. In particular, the Crusade for Good Government under Lead Convenor Ruffy Magbanua was referring to the botched plan of another huge investor, Hanjin Shipbuilding Conglomerate, which did not pursue its project in Misamis Oriental due to alleged interference from local officials then. Along this line, Emano urged Huili MCC Integrated Steel Mill Corporation executives to report to his office if there is any local official, department head or Capitol personnel that is harassing the company in whatever form so he could address it immediately.

mind ambitious employees of the importance of taking breaks. Creating choices? Why not. While minimum leave policies don’t operate solely on ‘trust’ placed in employees, it’s not a model that is feasible for all companies – for those with tens of thousands of employees, tracking individual and collective leave, let alone scheduling individual holiday checkins and reminders, would be very difficult to scale. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me in Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter or visit my www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www. koausdoringsclassicalmusic. blogspot.com.

Simon then said that the garbage was misdeclared as recyclable plastic pellets but on inspection were actually household wastes. On his ow n, Simon went on national television and rep or te d t he presence of the smuggled garbage in his vicinity thus capturing the national spotlight and sending a congressional committee to investigate the matter. Simon, who initiated an inter-agency task force on the matter, was able to secure assurance from the South Korean government w h i ch c om m itte d P 2 7 million for the shipment of the wastes back to its port of origin. The first reshipment of S outh Korea wastes f rom c ons i g ne e Ve rd e Soko actually occurred a year ago in January 2019 but at 1,400 tons, this was only minimal in volume, and is not part of the July 2019 wastes wallowing in Sta.

But should these drivers show up and make a scene again, and bully the passengers into transferring to their jeepneys, then they will invite not only legal action but public antagonism for their stubborn refusal to comply with the government’s modernized public utility vehicle (MPUV) program. Last I heard the commuters who rode these modernized passenger vehicles have not been complaining about anything and have in fact enjoyed riding them. Would the drivers and operators of these decrepit, smoke-belching jeepneys deprive said commuters of this convenience just so they can earn money from their expense?

mentioning how we have fared in our graver duty to do apostolate, to Christianize our work and society in general, to reach out to the poor and the needy, to be forgiving of others who may have wronged us, etc. We need to wake up from this anomaly, because like the Pharisees and the scribes of old, we could justly be accused by Christ to be hypocrites. And actually, many people today can also see that. We would simply be caring of the externals without the internal, the form and appearance without the substance. The example we can give to others would show a certain hollowness and artificiality. And many people can detect that quite easily, because this phenomenon, sad to say, is getting common. Thus, we can expect people to be turned off by what they see in us. They are now more familiar with how hypocrisy and artificiality look, how they sound, how they smell. They are now more skilled in sifting our words from our deeds, the image from the real McCoy. They can easily verify the authenticity of our words and actions. To be able to connect the little things to the big, important things in our life is, of course, no easy task. It requires training, effort, self-discipline. It will always need God’s grace which we should always ask. And given our human condition where our development involves different stages, let us hope that we do not remain in the kindergarten level in this respect, in the amateur and dilettante level. We have to aim at nothing less than the mature and professional level, where a certain consistency or unity of life that is rooted on God’s grace and on our constant effort, is achieved.

I AM BALUBAL By: CLINT K. MANZANARES

The Bible said “ What does it profit if the man gains the whole world but losses his soul”. We have so many professionals nowadays but with bad attitude and values. Is it because of the food we eat? Or because of our present generation called millennials bombarded with information through different gadgets. How I wish I could turn back time and let our present generation witness how strict our grandparents in terms of values and discipline. But I cannot because it is very impossible. Instead, I made a mantra in our school to reformat the mind of our children to become positive and well mannered person. These mantra are positive words to be uttered by our pupils everyday. I do believe that we are what we believe and what we say. These words are the following: I am BALUBAL; B- Behave- we need a citi-

zens who are behave and calm in order to create harmonious place to live in. A- Attentive- though we are behave, we should be attentive in all our undertakings to minimize chaos and dilemmas. LLoyal- loyalty is one of the good value that we should develop to our children. U-Understanding- the value of understanding is also important in dealing with your friends, relatives and others. B- Brave- being brave for doing what is right and just should be developed to our children. To fight what is good. AAdvocator- each one of us should possess a value of being an ambassador of goodness to our brothers and sisters. L-love, peace and unity. In order for us to create peace and unity we adhere the value of love to each one of us. If repeatedly uttered these words everyday, we may create a straight and well mannered person, community and a country.

Allianz Investing in Companies With Sustainable Business Practices

Movers of Sustainability. (From Left) Arnold Grant Belver, EnP, Senior Science Research Specialist, Policy Research and Development Division, Climate Change Commission; Benjamin Yong, Regional Channel Sales Manager, Allianz Global Investors Singapore; Rosalina de Guzman, Chief of Climate Data Section, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration; Antonito Miguel Ramos, EnP, Innovation Manager/Urban Planner, Palafox; Allianz PNB Life Chief Marketing Officer Gae Martinez; PNB Branch Banking Group Head for Metro Manila Edilberto Ramos; (From Al-lianz PNB Life) Chief Distribution Officer Chris Cabognason; National Sales Head Carol Bernas; and Digital Brand Management Director Kenneth Yu.

N ITS drive to be a fully-sustainable company by 2050, Allianz PNB Life keeps a strong fo-cus on investing in companies with sustainable business practices that deliver long-term value via its Peso-Hedged Global Sustainability Equity Fund. The equity fund was promoted during the company’s recent Sustainability Forum, where speakers from different industries talked about climate change and the environment and how individuals, companies, and governments can help address its various concerns. The Peso-Hedged Global Sustainability Equity Fund gives its holders the opportunity to in-vest in global equity markets of developed countries. It prioritizes investments in companies with sustainable practices, and its hedging component minimizes the risk of exchange rate movements, adding further protection for investors. The equity fund is in line with Allianz’s Sustainable Investing, which incorporates Environmental, Social, and Gov-

ernance (ESG) factors into investment decisions to better manage risks and generate sustainable, longterm results. It came about as traditional financial analysis has been found to be inadequate to cope with hidden risks and failed to capture opportunities. Globally, Allianz has been declared the world’s most sustainable insurer for three years running by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. In the Philippines, it has launched a number of sustainability projects that include its support of the Lucio Tan Group’s Project Canopy, which involves the reforestation of the Cordille-ras, and the launch of e-Sakay, electronic jeepneys that ply the Makati and Mandaluyong routes. Benjamin Yong, Allianz Global Investors SG Regional Channel Sales Manager, discussed the environmental factors that go into Allianz’s Sustainable Investing, which covers compa-nies’ carbon footprint, water usage, waste management, and pollution mitigation. Guest speakers from

other sectors likewise presented insights, research, and solutions on various sustainability-related topics. Arnold Grant S. Belver, EnP, Senior Science Research Specialist of the Policy Research and Development Division of the Climate Change Commission, talked about “Resilience - How Families Should Prepare for Climate Change.” Antonito Miguel R. Ramos, EnP, a Licensed Urban Planner and Innovation Manager for Palafox as well as a member of the Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners (PIEP), spoke about “Adaptation - Making Resilient Cities and Families.” Rosalina de Guzman, Chief of the Climate Data Section of the Philippine Atmospheric, Ge-ophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) discussed how people can cope during an environmental crisis through her talk, “Bracing Ourselves for the Inevitable Effects of Climate Change - Water Crisis, Calamities, Power Interruption, and Food Supply Shortage.”
