Economic hardships fuel violent extremism – report By H. MARCOS C. MORDENO MindaNews

DAVAO City--Unemployment and other economic difficulties are pushing Moro youth into joining extremist groups, a consolidated report based on visioning workshop sessions attended by various groups and sectors in the Bangsamoro said. The workshops, facilitated by the UNDP-backed Insider Mediators, aimed to come up with a unified vision for the emerging political entity that will replace the Autonomous

THE province of Misamis Oriental garnered three-fourths of Northern Mindanao’s (Region 10) record-shattering investments registered with the Board of Investments (BOI) in 2018. With three of the five big ticket investments locating in its eastern towns, the province accounted for P172.3-Billion (B) of Region 10s P228.8-Billion (B) total for the period. Better still was the dispersal of two other big ticket projects to Bukidnon and Iligan City/Lanao del Norte with one each. Another positive develolment for the region: manufacturing accounted for 82.5 percent of the P188.7-B sectoral investtment and 97.2 percent of estimated total employment.

Many MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front) combatants who were not integrated into the Armed Forces of

AFP assures peaceful, orderly plebiscite By FROILAN GALLARDO MindaNews

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Armed Forces of the Philippines is set to launch security operations to ensure the peaceful and orderly holding of a historic plebiscite that could end the decades old Moro insurgency in Mindanao. Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief Gen. Benjamin Madrigal Jr. said there are enough soldiers and policemen deployed in 5 provinces, 3 cities, 116 towns and 2,490 barangays to ensure voters can safely cast their votes on Monday. Madrigal said special emphasis for the security operation will be in Maguindanao and Cotabato City where terrorist threats are “high”. “We assure that voters will be safe this coming plebiscite on Monday,” he stressed. Lawyer Ernie Palanan, elections supervisor of the

Commission on Elections, said a company of 100 policewomen have just completed a two-day workshop on how to handle the voting and ballots during the plebiscite. He said the policewomen would be on standby ready to replace school teachers who will not report for work on Monday because of security threats. “We will ensure that the polling precincts will remain open despite the security threats,” Palanan said. In Lanao del Sur, Col. Romeo Brawner Jr., commander of the Army’s 103rd Infantry Brigade, said soldiers will set up security cordons around schools where balloting will take place. Brawner said teams of policemen were tasked to bring the ballots from the municipal offices to the schools. Prof. Abhoud Syed Lingga, head of the Institute of

COTABATO CITY -- The chief of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has commended President Rodrigo Duterte for making the dream of every Moro a reality with the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, chair of the MILF, was all praises for the President during the peace assembly for the ratification of Republic Act No. 11054 or the BOL at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex (SKCC), the provisional seat of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao here

Friday afternoon. “We have come (to) the finishing line of our struggle as we transition from revolution to governance,” Murad said, adding that if not for Duterte, their struggle for self-determination may have remained a dream. “We notice that you are always on our side to see to it that the will of the people is heard,” he told the President. “Siguro kung hindi kayo naging president, wala pa tayong BOL, wala pa tayong Bangsamoro government (Had you not become

IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay -- A farming and fishing village in the fourth-class town of Mabuhay, this province, has received some PHP5 million worth of infrastructure projects from the national government. Rep. Wilter Palma II, House of Representatives Deputy Majority Floor Leader, said Friday that Barangay San Roque in the island municipality is the beneficiary of two projects consisting of a twoclassroom school building worth PHP3 million, and a PHP2-million barangay hall. Palma said the school building was built with the

supervision of the Department of Public Works and Highways’ (DPWH) 1st Engineering District and funded under the school building program of the Department of Education (DepEd). He said the two-classroom school building seeks to provide a conducive center of learning. It is part of the 332 classrooms up for construction with DepEd’s assistance.

Let us give this BOL a chance because it will only come once. It may not come again if we won’t take it.” Duterte has urged the Bangsamoro people and non-Muslims to vote for “yes” on Monday to ratify the BOL. (PNA)

Impacts of climate change are highest global risks, report says DAVAO City--Climate change and its impacts pose the highest global risks, the World Economic Forum said in Global Risks Report released Thursday. “The results of climate inaction are becoming increasingly clear. The accelerating pace of biodiversity loss is a particular concern.

Species abundance is down by 60% since 1970,” the WEF report said. “In the human food chain, biodiversity loss is affecting health and socioeconomic development, with implications for wellbeing, productivity, and even regional security,” it added.

It noted the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s October analysis that humanity has at most 12 years to make the “drastic and unprecedented changes” needed to prevent average global temperatures from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius, roughly 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit.

This is the limit to the amount of global temperature rise set by the international Paris Climate Agreement. The WEF report said it “will require unprecedented action to drive decarbonization of agriculture, energy, industry and transport” to meet that goal, which “ap-

pears increasingly unlikely.” Echoing an oft-repeated warning, the report said rapid urbanization coupled with ongoing effects of climate change “are making more people vulnerable to rising sea levels.” “Two-thirds of the global population is expected to live in cities by 2050 and already an estimated 800 million people live in more than 570 coastal cities vulnerable to a sea-level rise of 0.5 meters by 2050,” it said. It added that aside from concentrating people and property in areas where calamities would strike, urbanization leads to destruc-

Mindanaoans are crying out loud for equity

Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘can do spirit’ when things are tough. --Richard M. DeVos TODAY’s conduct of a Mindanao-wide historic plebiscite on the Bangsamoro Organic law (BOL) will determine the future of all Mindanaoans, Muslims and Christians alike. For a long time, Mindanaoans are crying out loud for Imperial Manila to heed

the call of economic equity (read: equal distribution of wealth) to regional growth centers like Cagayan de Oro and the rest of the island’s emerging key cities. But with an iota of doubt, Mindanao’s clarion call for economic prosperity may turn out doomed at the very start. Not until Imperial Manila’s superiority complex is squashed, the so-called emerging opportunities for Mindanao may come, but in trickles, and may be in measly drops of the manna

from heaven, or just a slice of the country’s economic pie. Not until the national government shall be able to take cognition of its dismal failure to spread the gospel of growth with equity, Mindanao shall always be in the map of the forgotten and the abandoned. From developing the vast fertile lands to improving infrastructure facilities to providing jobs to the jobless, to uplifting health and education sectors, name it, these are what Mindan-

Ruffy Magbanua

aoans, since time immemorial have been clamoring to high heavens to come down on them, sooner, not later. Mindanaoans like me (I was born and raised in M’lang, North Cotabato, Secretary Manny Pinol’s turf) hasn’t seen real progress per se. What we still have is a land of wars and conflict. A See EQUITY, page 11

Education in political concern “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all.” THE above statement is the commitment that was declared four years ago by the world leaders. It was exactly on May 19-22, 2015. The declaration was held in Incheon city, Korea. It was attended by 1,600 delegations from 160 countries. The UN bodies were also present such as UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank, and many other world organizations.

Ministers and delegates related to education matters came to this declaration. It was agreed that all the nations have their rights to get quality education. Being inclusive means that all the people in any country deserve to get the same opportunity. It is the opportunity to get quality education. According to that declaration, this commitment is supposed to be realized by 2030. It means we still have 11 year-time from today. Having equitable quality education means that the

good quality education is not only for the haves. It is for both the haves and the poor. It is for both those living in metropolitan cities and those in rural areas. Education is for all. No discrimination. There is no demarcation among the people in any country. Good quality education is for all. All the leaders that were present in that declaration agreed. Education can transform the nations. For that reason, it is logical that people should get the same opportunity. Opportunity to get good quality education.

Dr. Djuwari

In that case, the leaders of the nations are the key success to education system. Their commitment to enhancing education for all is a must. Balancing the nations among the other nations in the world can lead to the peaceful lives. All problems in the world are due to the low quality See POLITICAL, page 11

The CYNOSURE

‘Hot spot’ tag serves as warning vs. ‘poll fraud’

SOME candidates and local officials, especially those identified with the incumbent administration, are moving heaven and hell to reverse the “hot spot” tag of Cagayan De Oro City. A little bird confided that a retired military official reportedly called up an underclass who occupies a top position in the military to inquire why. He got no answer. Good!

Actually, the little bird said that the incumbent candidates are impatient over the “hot spot” tag. However, the CYNOSURE could not fairly ascertain the allegation. Another thing, the argument that the “hot spot” tag was an offshoot of a “demolition job” is flimsy. Aside from the suspicion about the growing criminalities in the city, there is more than meets the eyes

here. Given that a demolition job was the basis of declaring Cagayan de Oro City as an “area of concern,” who are the object of the demolition job? It is widely accepted that in the dirty world of politics, the opposing political candidates are both engaged in “demolition job!” The objective of the demolition job is to discredit the integrity of the

Cris Diaz

opponent and vice versa. Thus, if the premise that the demolition job is the reason for the declaration of the place as a “hot spot,” then all areas in the country where the midterm election is held this year should be declared “areas of concern,” too. Nonsense! See FRAUD, page 11

Have my say

Beans or beef?

I LOVE both. Veggies and any kind of meat. Yesterday I came across a new slogan: pass the beans, hold the beef to save yourself and the planet. I suddenly felt guilty while really enjoying a wonderful steak. With salad of course. But here is the thing: Humans need to eat more beans and lentils and less red meat to protect the planet and our own health, researchers said. Meat intake for adults would be limited to 14 grams per day, that’s about half a slice of bacon.

Again: half a slice of bacon! How many slices did you take for your breakfast today? Where did I get all this stuff? Food production and consumption must change drastically to avoid millions of deaths and “catastrophic” damage to the planet, according to a study published Wednesday (January 16, 2019) in the scientific journal The Lancet. The key to both goals is a significant shift in the global diet and would mean eating about half as much

sugar and red meat and twice as many vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts, the study found. Researchers from the EAT-Lancet Commission said, and allow me to quote, that if people followed the “Planetary Health” diet, more than 11 million premature deaths could be prevented each year, greenhouse gas emissions would be cut and more land, water and biodiversity would be preserved. The diet would see adults limited to 14 grams of red

Klaus Doring

meat a day (about 30 calories — a quarter-pound burger patty contains roughly 450 calories), no more than 29 grams of poultry (around one and a half chicken nuggets) and 13 grams of eggs, or just 1.5 eggs per week. The diet is the result of a three-year project commissioned by The Lancet See BEANS, page 11

There is always the option to go to entrepreneurship -- to be an entrepreneur, to employ people instead of getting employed,” the senator said. She narrated how she and former senator Manny Villar, her husband, started their business with minimal capitalization before getting a low-interest loan. Villar, who has been advancing the cause of farmers, has authored the Open Learning and Distance Education Act of 2014 and the Ladderized Education Act of 2014, both to give the youth wider access to education.

SENATOR Cynthia Villar on Friday called on graduates to pursue an entrepreneurial career that would get them an opportunity to employ people, instead of seeking employment. In her speech as guest during the graduation ceremony at the state-run Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST) here, Villar noted the “harsh reality that many graduates face now -- the lack of job opportunities.” “Hindi naman kaila sa ating lahat na malaking problema pa rin ngayon ang unemployment at underemployment (We are all aware that there is still a big problem on unemployment and underemployment),” she said. However, graduates should never be discouraged; instead they should be ready to face the challenges that await them, she said. “Unemployment rate is still high. Pero hindi lang na-

CHINESE state-owned firm China Energy Engineering Corp. (CEEC) is eyeing to invest around USD4.4 billion in building common cell towers that may be leased to telcos to ensure improvement in the delivery of their communication services. This, as the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with CEEC on the deployment of the cell sites on Friday. The company said it has the capability of meeting DICT’s target of building 50,000 cell sites to make the

Philippines competitive with its neighboring countries in providing quality telco services to the public. “The number of towers that will be built by the CEEC will depend on the demand of telco operators. And of course, we will do it based on the requirement of the DICT and NTC (National Telecommunications Commission). According to DICT, there should be totally around 50,000 towers to be built. For our capability, we have no problem in building this total of 50,000 towers,” Huang Fei, vice president of CEEC, said in a press briefing. DICT Acting Secretary Eliseo Rio Jr. said the gov-

ernment will provide assistance to common tower providers in facilitating permits, right of way, and support for infrastructure, should they secure a contract with any of the telco operators. He stressed that the DICT will implement measures to reduce red tape in the process of granting permits to telcos for the building of their cell sites. The department is eyeing to create an inter-agency task force that will consist of various agencies, such as the Department of the Interior and Local Government, Department of Public Works and Highways,

Sahagun said cement manufacturers in the country are earning well, with cumulative profits of listed cement firms amounting to PHP50.36 billion from 2013 to 2017, based on their disclosures with the Philippine Stock Exchange. “It is ironic that a safeguard tariff is being contemplated when domestic cement manufacturers neither sought protection, nor are their operations in danger of serious injury, or even remotely, face the threat of serious injury,” the position paper of PCIA said. Last week, Department

of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez said in a press conference that “there are these approved or legitimate trade measures that we will just have to institute” towards the cement importers after learning about a surge in cement imports. Data from DTI showed that import volume in 2017 jumped 72 percent to 3.04 million metric tons (MT) from 1.77 million MT in 2016. However, PCIA data reported that importers only imported a total of

Cement importers no threat to local manufacturers By KRIS CRISMUNDO

MANILA -- Cement importers insisted that they do not pose sufficient threat to the market position of local cement manufacturers, saying calls for additional safeguard duties against them are not warranted. In a briefing Wednesday, Philcement Corp. president and chief executive officer Eduardo Sahagun, a member of the Philippine Cement Importers Association (PCIA), said there is no legal basis to slap cement imports with safeguard tariffs at this point.

Hog raisers warned vs. feeding pigs with food leftovers

DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Agriculture (DA) has warned hog raisers in Region 11 (Davao region) against feeding pigs with food leftovers as these could be the possible source of the deadly African Swine Fever and other animal diseases. Dr. Armie Capuyan, chief of the DA’s Disease Monitoring and Surveillance Unit, issued the warning on Friday amid the spread of ASF and other swine diseases in other countries. Capuyan noted that food scrap feeding is a common practice among backyard hog raisers, who make up

65 percent of the national total hog production. He said some types of food, especially meat, could be contaminated by animal disease. Felimon Sant ander, chairperson of the Backyard Raisers Association in Davao, said their members have been told to stop mixing feeds with food leftovers as a “cost efficient” practice. Santander said some hog raisers collect food leftovers from local restaurants. “Okay lang kung gikan sa atong balay (It’s okay if it comes from our own home),” he said.

Meanwhile, Dr. Teresa Bacayo, regional veterinary quarantine officer of the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), said swill feeding is one important route of disease introduction in the country because animal disease pathogens are resistant to high and low temperatures in meat-based food preparations. The government has already banned the entry of products from 13 countries affected by swine fever. Filipinos were asked to avoid bringing any pork and pork products from these country See WARNED, page 10

NPA ‘revolutionary tax’ collector yields in Davao DAVAO CITY -- A member of the New People’s Army (NPA) who described herself as a “revolutionary tax collector”, surrendered to the Philippine Army’s 71st Infantry Battalion (71IB) on Wednesday, five years after joining the organization. Capt. Jerry Lamosao, Army 10th Infantry Division spokesperson, identified the surrenderer only as Fiona, 42, a resident of Maragusan town, Compostela Valley. Fiona surrendered to the 71IB under Lt. Col. Esteveyn Ducusin based in Nueva Visayas, Mawab town. Lamosao said on Thursday that Fiona figured in many extortion activities being the “revolutionary

tax collector” of the NPA’s Sub-Regional Committee (SRC) 2. She was also the former sub-section secretary and counsel of the Hugpong Mag-Uuma sa Walog Compostela. According to him, Fiona revealed during a debriefing that the NPA targets businessmen, politicians, mining and logging firms, and even store owners in their extortion activities. Fiona also described herself as an organizer of NPAsupported anti-government mass demonstrations and rallies throughout the Davao region. Ducusin assured that Fiona will receive government assistance for NPA surrenderers to help her live See YIELDS, page 10

Ex-PNP chief to boost Senate bid with anti-drugs stance DAVAO CITY -- Former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald dela Rosa vowed to campaign harder despite the latest Pulse Asia survey that placed him among the Top 12 candidates. “Magsusumikap pa ako dahil maraming hindi pa nakakaalam na ako ay tumakbo bilang senator. Ang akala ng iba ako ay tumakbo bilang gobernador (I will have to work harder because many people still do not know that I am running for senator. People think that I am running for governor),” he said in an interview with reporters here Friday, referring to earlier talks that he was gunning for the Davao del Sur gubernatorial seat. Dela Rosa is also pushing for the return of the death penalty, especially for drug

traffickers, saying this would prevent the country from turning into a narco-state. He pointed out that in the past three weeks, the Bureau of Customs in Clark managed to seize a total of PHP160.5 million worth of shabu, ecstasy and kush - a strain of cannabis, concealed in food items and a luggage at the Clark International Airport in Pampanga. The packages were reportedly from Las Vegas in the United States. Dela Rosa said this indicates that drug traffickers “are now importing shabu because they have lost their shabu laboratories here.” “This is the time to defeat illegal drugs. Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa? Ang droga noon mabibili kahit saan (If not today, when? See BOOST, page 10

Classroom observation: Purpose and benefits By PHOEBE W. TARUC City Central School, Cagayan de Oro City

Improved classroom practice does not happen overnight. It takes a considerable time to capture what works for whom. However, one can only achieve this aspiration if the learnings from trainings, seminars, workshops and conference attended are put into practice. More so, there is a need for teachers to engage in reflective teaching for them to examine whether the strategies used impact student learning. It is not enough to see positive results although it can be an evidence to prove that one is doing what is fitting for a particular set of learners. Teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogy needs to be looked into, and how well they articulate that knowledge in teaching students in various contexts in order to satisfy learners’ natural curiosity. Putting theory into practice is a challenge and it is important that they receive feedback for them to know what area of the

teaching-learning process needs improvement and which ones have to be sustained and enhanced. Classroom observation is a mechanism that affords shared definition of quality practice. According to the Results Based Performance Management System Classroom( RPMS) Manual, classroom observation is a process of providing feedback to a teacher’s classroom practice. Feedback given provides quality input for the continuous improvement of teacher practice and opportunities to share ideas and expertise, as well as promotes mentoring and coaching among colleagues. It also encourages teachers to reflect and develop self-awareness about their own practice as it provides evidence of actual teacher performance, their strengths and areas for development and the impact of their practice.

This serves as a means of sharing instructional techniques and ideologies among colleagues. It is important to emphasize, however, that the ultimate aim of classroom observation is professional growth. There is a need to establish a culture that nurtures a collegial exchange of ideas and promotes a certain level of trust. Therefore, it is important that after observation, the observer analyzes what has transpired and shares his/ her thoughts in an objective, considerate, developmental, supportive and respectful fashion. It must be conducted with professionalism, integrity and courtesy. This results in the creation of a professional learning community with the best interests of the students in mind. Opportunity for growth and development not only to teachers, but more importantly to learners is ensured.

The WEF report proposed three main strategies for adapting to rising sea-levels: (1) engineering projects to keep water out, (2) nature-based defenses, and (3) people-based strategies, such as moving households and businesses to safer ground or investing in social capital to make flood-risk communities more resilient. But it emphasized that adaptation measures to address urban vulnerability to sea-level rise will require households, businesses and governments to avoid exacerbating dangers. “There is little point putting new flood defenses in place, for example, if existing defenses are undermined through continued development of homes and businesses in coastal areas and on floodplains,” it said. “Of all risks, it is in relation to the environment that the world is most clearly sleepwalking into catastrophe,” it further noted.

EFFECTIVENESS OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC STRETCHING IN ENHANCING HAMSTRING MUSCLE FLEXIBILITY By DARYL A. LLIDO Teacher I MOGCHS

Abstract This quasi-experimental study focused on deter mining t he effectiveness of static and dynamic stretching in enhancing students’ hamstring muscle flexibility. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentages, mean and standard deviation were used. T-test was also used to find out if there was a significant difference on the flexibility performance of the participants between s t at i c an d dy n am i c stretching as an intervention. There was a highly significant difference in the participants’ flexibility performance in hamstring muscle flexibility test score before and after exposure to static and dynamic stretching. Both stretching procedures can be

used to improve student’s hamstring muscle flexibility. The chosen static stretching exercises (Standing Groin Stretch and DoubleKnee-to-Chest Stretch) and dynamic stretching (High For ward Kick and Crossed-body-LegSwing) performed for eight weeks two times a week with thirty seconds each stretching exercise were effective to enhance hamstring muscle flexibility. Static stretching may be best performed after a particular activity or sports as it helps reduce tension and soreness by elongating the muscle and increasing the blood circulation. If it is to prepare one’s body for the specific movement, dynamic stretching may be most effective before an activity or athletic event because it allows the muscles to move more efficiently.

Action Research for personal professional development By PHOEBE W. TARUC City Central School, Cagayan de Oro City

The day to day encounter of various concerns inside the classroom that confronts teachers are getting complex. From instructional practice to student behavior, down to parents’ complains, those issues somehow frustrate some teachers, and the possibility of getting burned out is just an inch away. Handling all those challenges require a lot of patience, commitment, and competence. The primary business of a school is to educate learners and prepare them to become their future themselves. Due to the complexity of teaching and the call to meet the demands for quality education of a swiftly changing society, there is a clamor for teachers to be more focused on their instruction. The realities inside the classroom need potential solutions to improve desired outcomes. Teachers are the vital people to understand

specific classroom situations. Embarking on action research is a step towards the change that teachers hope to see. Teachers who engage in action research are able to develop a systematic, inquiring approach to ascertain answers to instructional questions. It is a vehicle that aids learning through a disciplined process of critical reflection, meaningful experiences, and self-directed inquiry. Action research aims to generate findings that are useful within a specific context. While a particular area of concern has been identified, action research is a means by which instructional strategy applied by the teacher can be tested on its effectiveness and suitability. Since learners’ needs and abilities vary, educators are obliged to be more cognizant and constantly adapting pedagogies that are relevant, responsive, and appropriate. It is the duty of teachers to

The Impact of Television among Students By SHERLITA M. DUROG Teacher 1 MOGCHS

Television seems to be very powerful media nowadays to spread many of information. Television has its good side, it can be entertaining and educational and can open up new worlds for kids, giving them a chance to travel the globe about different cultures and gain exposure to ideas they may never encounter in their own country. However, television may replace activities that help with school performance such as reading doing homework, pursuing hobbies and getting enough sleep.

In the study conducted among G7 students in Misamis Oriental General comprehensive High School. It shows that among 60 participants 52% of them watching television for 5 hours and above and most of them viewed on drama/teleserye and the reason for watching is just for entertainment. However, this students have good grades in their academic subjects. Therefore, watching television in long hours did not affect the academic performance of the students. Hence, it can add information and knowledge that can help improve their studies.

flourish teaching, learning, and even themselves. Action research helps fulfill these responsibilities. It opens avenues for growth and professional development because researchers find ways to deal with circumstances and determine why things went well for some students and not for others. It provides technical skills and specialized knowledge which adds more confidence to carry out the responsibilities entrusted on their shoulders. Furthermore, those who undertake this worthwhile effort gain new insights, obtain deeper understanding, as well as discover doable strategies. Accordingly, their horizons broaden. They embrace change because they see the power of their knowledge to produce competent individuals. They become lifelong learners, motivated to advance and reflect on the quality of their practice. Purposeful and more comprehensive reflection endows the teachers with the learning and growing that ultimately directs to changed and improved instructional practice.

As such, they develop greater mastery of the art and science of teaching, thus promoting professionalism and enriching the quality of education for themselves and their students. Moreover, action research facilitates teacher empowerment. This venture allows them to carefully explore possible alternatives to be carried out, evaluate which one works best, and apply sound decisions, thereby eliciting positive change in teaching-learning process. Since they are empowered, teachers are able to implement instructional programs that best meet the needs of their students. Engaging in action research shows their willingness to set out of their comfort zones, go extra mile, and take accountability for their actions without having to jeopardize learning outcomes. By and large, action research is a professionally rewarding experience for teachers who choose to be catalysts for change.

Earlier, Councilor Marissa Salvador-Abella voiced concerns over swine influenza after the disease outbreaks in Africa, Latvia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, and the People’s Republic of China. Considering that Davao City already has direct international flights, Abella said government agencies should pool resources to strengthen prevention mechanisms.

land being used as dumping site of Korean trash, scalawags of men in uniform, a land badly beaten by corrupt and abusive national government. This island being rich in natural resources makes the economy of Imperial Manila richer and in shape, thanks but no thanks to Mindanao’s fat contribution to the national coffer. While Mindanao holds an incredible wealth to brag about, yet it continues to spawn dark moments of truth. And the recent pronouncement of Malacanang to make Mindanao a land reform area is nothing but pure and simple rhetoric. Mindanao is always beset with news about clan wars, religious overtones, terrorism, kidnappings by the dreaded abu sayyaf, piracy, political dynasties, corruption, poverty, regular clashes and killings are some of the worst scenes elsewhere in the island. Along with these grim scenarios, the island stalks with hunger. Mindanao has the highest poverty incidence of 23 percent. But despite the corruption, threat, killings, and poverty Mindanaoans face, they remain to be strong and resilient people as it were. Sadly, all we hear for now are endless debates on Federalism, political alignments, fast-tracking of “build, build, build” program in Metro Manila and elsewhere in Luzon, and all the fake news around. Emerging opportunities for Mindanao? Let the BOL become an instrument of peace and progress. There is always that difficulty in every opportunity. But always the optimists, Mindanaoans see an opportunity in every difficulty. (ruffy44_ph2000@yahoo. com)

of the human resources. The high technology is the evidence. The countries with their hi-tech can lead the world nations. Unfortunately, mostly the developing countries are not aware of such hi-tech development. They tend to be left behind. In such a condition, they also tend to be the consumers. They import mostly all the hi-tech equipment. Importing the hi-tech products also means reducing the balance of payment. When such exports exceed the volume of imports, it will reduce their foreign exchange. As a result, these nations have abundance of payable accounts, instead of receivable accounts. This is due to the value of the hi-tech imported products. These types of products have higher prices compared to the low-hi-tech products. In that condition, the national leaders—Presidents— should have high commitment. It is the com-

mitment to enhancing quality education. Consequently, they must prioritize the national-state-budget on education. All the programs are designed proportionally, but the emphasis must be on education. Quality education is the national leaders’ concern. This commitment is started from the national leader. Then, they deliver the commitment to the lower leaders: provincial and regional administration leaders. One direction by the national leader in a country. This can be broken down into several policies related to quality education. All the programs and the budget allocations must be monitored. In other words, one command one commitment, and one uniform action to achieve the goal depicted in that commitment. It is the commitment to providing the people with good quality education. Again, no discrimination. There is neither the haves nor the poor. Education for all.

Fraud... from page 4

One should remember that the island of Mindanao is under the state of military rule. Declaring martial law in Mindanao follows the argument that all places provinces and cities in Mindanao are presumed “areas of concern.” What’s the argument, then? The truth is, in a place, declared as “area of concern,” there is a presumption of a fraudulent election. The declaration of the place as a “hot spot” is designed to preempt, if not, eliminate the possible occurrence of a fraudulent election. In this scenario, the fear of massive “vote buying” and the plot to deploy the “paid” flying voters from other places could be possibly checked. The little bird reported that the “massive vote buying” takes place before and on the day of the election. Assigned zone leaders reportedly knocked houses of registered voters to conduct a head count. After determining the number of voters in the household, the assigned leaders distribute “blood money.” The bird reported that this activity is carried out a week before the election takes place. One of the most glaring exercise of election fraud and corrupt practices is that the opposition is denied access to public utility during the campaign period, such as a fully-lighted covered court. The corrupt public

Monday, January 21, 2019 officials would not bat an eyelash to lay claim to the publicly owned covered court. Nauseating! Under a “place of concern” atmosphere, both the opposition and the incumbent will have fair access to public utility resources. It would be easier to cut the tails of the unscrupulous politicians and their leaders who usurped authority over publicly owned resources like the covered court and its lighting facilities. The candidate can also summon the men in uniform, tasked to monitor the impartiality of the election, to secure publicly owned utilities and allow all candidates access to it. Under this scenario, who fears the “hot spot” title, other than the unscrupulous politicians whose movement could be tracked months before the election day comes. Let Cagayan De Oro City stay as an “area of concern” until election day! Declaring the area as an “area of concern” is just the beginning of eliminating the possible occurrence of fraudulent and corrupt political exercise. Let’s wait and see because more is yet to come. -0- Email comments/ reactions: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

involving 37 specialists from 16 countries. I don’t know how you feel right now, my dear readers while getting to know this: “We are in a catastrophic situation,” said co-author Tim Lang, a professor at the University of London and policy lead for the EATLancet Commission that compiled the study. Lang said feeding a growing population of 10 billion people by 2050 with a healthy, sustainable diet will be impossible without transforming eating habits, improving food production and reducing food waste. “We need a significant overhaul, changing the global food system on a scale not seen before,” Lang said. “The food we eat and how we produce it determines the health of people and the planet, and we are currently getting this seriously wrong,” Lang added. Life-threatening diseases including obesity, diabetes, malnutrition and several types of cancer are linked to poor diets. Researchers said unhealthy diets currently cause more death and disease worldwide than unsafe sex, alcohol, drug and tobacco use combined. Honestly, it’s difficult for me to believe this. The dietary changes would be felt more in some regions than others. For example, people in North America eat almost 6.5 times the recommended amount of red meat, while people in South Asia eat only half the amount suggested by the planetary diet. Meanwhile, meeting the

targets for starchy vegetables such as potatoes and cassava would require big changes in sub-Saharan Africa, where people on average eat 7.5 times the suggested amount. “More than 800 million people have insufficient food, while many more consume an unhealthy diet that contributes to premature death and disease,” said Walter Willett of Harvard University. “If we can’t quite make it, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.” Beans of beef ?

In one of the workshop s e s s i ons , p ar t i c ip ant s blamed a “misguided interpretation of Islam” as one factor contributing to the spread of violent extremism. To address this, a group suggested that madaris must follow a unified curriculum on a single school of thought of Islam. Another group of participants, however, pointed out that in other countries Muslims are following certain ethics on disagreement about how Islam should be interpreted. “The processing of primary sources [about Islam] is problematic. Differences [in interpretation] will always be there, and it is positive. Diversity, not unity of knowledge about Islam, will help us,” they said. (H. Marcos C. Mordeno/ MindaNews)

Humanitarian Law (IHL) despite signing an agreement to respect IHL,” de Leon said. “The NPA terrorists, with the guidance of their leaders, still continue to attack civilians and their properties,” he added. De Leon pointed out that under the provisions of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL), civilian population and civilians “shall be treated as such and shall be distinguished from combatants and, together with their property, shall not be the object of attack.” The Army official said attacks against civilians “only fuel our utmost desire to protect our people from these thugs. And in order to fully protect and do our mandate, we need the full cooperation of the public in ensuring that these NPA atrocities will be pre-empted.” Major Gen. Ronald Villanueva, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, also assailed the NPA’s “wanton disrespect” for human rights. “The NDFP that signed CARHRIHL representing the NPA must be made to explain why the NPA attacked a civilian-owned farm equipment,” Villanueva said, referring to the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, the political wing of the NPA. “What is the ‘direct participation’ of that farm equipment in the armed conflict between the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) and the NPA?

cannot afford a rejection of an agreement that it has worked for since 1997 when it signed a ceasefire with the government. “The MILF will certainly not go back to war but it will not also accept the old framework of ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao). So everything will be in limbo,” he said. History professor Tirmizy Abdullah said Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, Mohagher Iqbal and Ghazali Jaafar also needed an overwhelming vote to assert their leadership in the MILF organization. He said the three highranking MILF leaders are responsible for bringing the revolutionary organization to forge a peace agreement with the government. “It will not look good for the three if the voters reject the agreement. It will erode the stature of their leadership in the organization,” Abdullah said. He said there are still rebel commanders in the MILF who are loyal to its late founding leader, Hashim Salamat. The professor said a rejection could disintegrate the MILF into different factions. Abdullah, who teaches at the Mindanao State University, said Marawi residents are pinning their hopes that Murad will bring them back to their homes. “Murad made a lot of promises that he will bring the residents once the BARMM [Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao] is set up and the residents are hoping that he makes good of his promise,” he said. Abdullah said it will be a different story if Murad breaks his promise. “The call of Islamic militancy is still being heard in Lanao del Sur. It might be the reason for the residents to embrace it,” Abdullah warned. Around 1,863,230 voters in southern Philippines will cast their ballots in a plebiscite whether they would like their provinces, towns and cities to join the new Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao on Monday. The plebiscite will ratify Republic Act No. 11054, the enabling law of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), the peace agreement signed by the government and the MILF in March 2014. The peace agreement is hoped to end the decades-old Moro insurgency in Mindanao that have left 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers, rebels and civilians dead since 1970, according to government data. The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) said the total economic loss sustained by Mindanao due to the conflict is pegged at about P640 billion ($13.9 million). The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) said the conflict also generated two million internal refugees; 535 mosques and 200 schools destroyed; and 35 cities and towns bombed or damaged by the fighting.
