now Praise Famous Men” left off. Let us on this occasion ,praise a young leader, NOT just ANY young leader, but a young leader of men.

We do not have to search far and wide for one to fit the bill. We laud today an exemplar of the breed of well-accomplished visionary leaders with the highest honor bestowed by the Mindanao State University: Doctor of Humanities, honoris causa.

Our honoree is a fourth generation of a scion of a prominent political family.

While others born with such privileged provenance and iconi political legacy might find such heritage a burden, he accepted it as a challenge

and responsibility to hold aloft the torch passed to him by his elders.

To the rich background in governance and public service he was gifted with by the latter-from his great grandfather and grandfather , who both serve as Senators.

Our honoree is not one to be daunted by the myriad of problems that he must confront. Like Mandela, he believed that “There is no passion to be found playing small, in settling for a life less than the one year you are capable of living”.

Macaayong said I save for last our honoree’s attachment to his roots, those spaces where he spent his youth , from 1978

to 1982: first, at the ILS, then at the MSU-High. The MSU Community is externally grateful for the donations he made for infrastructure projects in these hallowed halls. The University also owes him the renovation of the College of Law “court room” No other progeny of the co-author of the law that created the MSU has manifested as nuch zeal in cherishing and nurturing the legacy of his grandfather than our Man of the Hour.

Dr. Alma Berowa, System Vice President for Academic Affairs read the Scroll conferment of the Degree , Doctor of Humanities , Honoris Causa on Honorable

Mamintal Alonto Adiong ,Jr governor ,province of Lanao del Sur signed by MSU System President Habib W. Macaayong and Atty Sidik T. Abantas, Secretary Board of Regents and University Secretary.

him attested to and as a platform not for demagoguery, rhetoric, and gaining popularity through a populist stance, but for purposeful public service and not for self-aggrandizement and personal prizes or awards, but for leading one’s people to a world better, more progressive, peaceful and beautiful thn the one they knew, the document stated.

In his speech, governor Adiong Jr. said I am truly humbled and I deeply appreciate you for conferrng me this honorary degree upon me I accept this as a rare privilege knowing the exceptional academic rigor an education in the Mindanao State University is belonging to the pioneer batch of ILS 82, I have seen firsthand the growth and development of Mindanao State University into a world class academic institution for its reputation in research and teaching, not to mention the significant contributions of its graduates who continued to excel on their various fields in the country and abroad.

I see this recognition as a power holding one responsible to self, to family and to the community through values of more hard work , fairness and understanding to the many imperfect and challenging situations before us. This title becomes useful when it is applied and shared-not only will one do better to prosper oneself, but to also carries on in molding students to be leaders of their own See CONFERS, page 9

Around 45 select farmers, agriculture technicians, and municipal/city agriculturists of the said province were gathered to tackle postharvest technologies and sorghum production.

DOH XI prepares for vax rollout in pharmacies DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Health (DOH) XI is now preparing for the vaccination rollout in pharmacies.

DOH XI clarified that the rollout is conducted in a phased approach. It is still being implemented in the selected pilot sites in the National Capital Region (NCR) which started last January 20, 2022.

The Phase 2 will cover additional vaccination sites in NCR as determined by the National Vaccination Operation Center (NVOC).

The Phase 3 will expand the rollout in other regions, depending on site readiness as determined by the Center for Health Development.

As soon as Phase 3 will be implemented, vaccination in pharmacies in the region will then start to accommodate individuals 18 years and above under Priority Group A1 (health workers), Expanded Priority group A1, A4 or workers in essential service, A5 or poor population, and the rest of the adult population.

The participants also performed the formulation of poultry and livestock feeds by calculating and measuring raw ingredients and utilizing sorghum grains for mushroom production.

Sorghum is composed mostly of starch and, like corn, waxy and nonwaxy varieties exist.

Its waxy-starch varieties appear to support better animal performance.

The nutritive value of sorghum is usually taken at 90% to 100% compared with corn, a value of 96% being most common. It contains slightly more protein than corn.

Enough is Enough of Oligarchical Control

AS the 2022 elections is fast approaching, it has become imperative to bring to the fore a great social injustice that is being committed against the Filipino people by the oligarchs. The Filipino people are wallowing in poverty because of their powerlessness to have control of resources and facilities. Who are in control of our resources and utilities?

Only a few oligarchs. Let us examine the issue on Electric Cooperatives. It was no less than former Vice President Emmanuel Pelaez from Cagayan de Oro who advocated for rural electrification in the late ‘60s as electricity then was just confined in the urban centers. After passing the rural electrification law, nationalist senators, i.e., Sen. Tanada and Sen. Jose Diokno and some congressmen went to the United States and observed the operations of Electric Cooperatives.

They were astonished how these Electric Cooperatives operate, being membersconsumers-owned (MCOs).

Yes, electricity is a means to life, just like water and air and must be owned and managed by the memberconsumers themselves. As

a means to life, it must be beyond the commerce of men.

Thus, the Philippines in 1969 began rural electrification and it must be done the cooperative way with an aid from the USAID at the tune of 800 million dollars. However, it came to pass that socalled Electric Cooperatives were not members-owned despite the fact that the member-consumer-owners were the ones paying for the amortization of loans and reinvestment. All these years, their capital contributions that when consolidated today will reach more than a trillion pesos but are not recorded or recognized.

Such is the greatest social injustice committed against the Filipino people as the 13 million MCOs in a family of five will constitute about 65 million Filipinos. Why is this so? Well, may I invite the MCOs to revisit their monthly unbundling of rate. Very clear is the payment of loans at P0.85 per kilowatt hour and reinvestment at P.50 per kilowatt hour. Based on experts’ computation, in the last 70 years, an MCO has already paid some P70,000 each as capital contribution. Have

Orlan R. Ravanera

the MCOs been paid of patronage refund? None at all as such is being hidden from them.

In 1972, when the World Bank had known that these so called Electric Cooperatives were just cooperatives in name, it provided another set of loans in the billions of dollars so as to educate the millions of members. But the funds were used against insurgency and it was then the period of Martial Law and the Generals were on top of the Department of Energy.

Indeed, record would show.

It was then Generals who were running the National Electrification Administration and the Department of Energy. In fact, a Presidential Decree had been issued which was PD-1645 named after M-16 and 45 Caliber and the power given to NEA were under Sec. 357, named after Magnum 357.

After the Edsa Revolution, the framers of the 1987 Constitution wanted to rectify such social wrong and created the Cooperative Development Authority as the sole registering agency See CONTROL, page 11

Letters from Davao

Walden could never be like Sara

WALDEN Bello has carved his name in various issues that range from economy, environment, human rights and politics all anchored on communist ideology.

With that credentials he thought he is good enough to be Vice President of the Philippines.

Walden has always been a critic of any administration.

Nobody minds him anyway as he is more of a theoretician. Back by impressive educational background that he gets to be invited to speak on many of his ideologies.

He must be enamored with communism he became a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines Wikipedia states.

Walden won a seat in Congress as partylist Laban ng Masa Representative.

Last October he substituted a labor group candidate for Vice President.

His alliance with the leftist political parties and his hatred for Marcos dictatorship must have triggered his subconscious to badmouth Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte on her proposal to make mandatory military service for Filipinos turning 18 years old. He branded the idea as “a mask off moment for dictatorial-in-waiting.

Piqued by the snide re-

mark of Bello, Inday Sara said her dream is to inspire patriotism among the youth and not to be “ungrateful” citizens like her fellow vice presidential candidate Walden Bello.

“I truly hope that our youth do not grow up to be a Walden Bello — an ungrateful citizen who sleeps peacefully at the comfort of their homes, unable to say a prayer or a silent ‘thank you’ to the men and women who became martyrs while countering violent extremism, insurgency, and terrorism,” Sara said.

I like my Mayor best when she fights for her principles. Walden Bello should have known that what Inday Sara proposes stemmed from her actual experience as an ordinary citizen and leader of Davao City. Walden was most of the time in the US when his party members, the CPP/ NPA virtually took control of Davao City in early 1980s. Prior to that bloody regime, the Moro National Liberation Front was waging a separatist war pursued later by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. When the communists were defeated in a counter-revolution, drugs syndicates” invaded Davao taking advantage of

weary law enforcers. Like all Davaowenyos, Sara grew up in these environment.

When Rodrigo Duterte, became Mayor of Davao he confronted the problems with sharpness of a tack and aplomb. The young Sara not yet in her teens witnessed these and saw up close how her father dealt with problems.

Walden never had these in all his life. In fact when he learned about the atrocities of the CPP/NPAs all he did was to resign from CPP but did not sever his ties completely as his political career would show.

So now he gets a mouthful from Mayor Inday..

“If only Walden Bello wasn’t so quick to jump the gun, he would know that my vision was not only to push for mandatory military service for the youth,” she said. “And an 18 year old is definitely not a child.”

She said only the likes of Bello would think of mandatory military service for Filipino citizens “as arming them and telling them to See LIKE, page 11

Encouraging team work in the workplace

Dealing with tech-savvy students

Strengthening teaching and learning among young learners

By CHERYL L. SOLIJON Teacher III

While some teachers opt to take the center stage in their classroom and educate through various lectures, others prefer to take a backseat role and simply work as a facilitator of learning. By facilitating pupil learning instead of presenting pupils with information as it is, is common in the traditional system of education, teachers can might as well encourage the pupils to take an active role in learning. Yes, it may be hard but quite changing the educational paradigm and encouraging pupils to give up the passive roles that they once took on in the classroom can be highly effective and can lead to an increased pupil comprehension and understanding.

Teachers need to facilitate learning by making the educational process easier for the pupils. This does not mean watering down curriculum or lowering standards, rather, facilitating learning involves teaching pupils to think critically and understand how the learning process works.

Our young learners need to learn how to go beyond the basic facts: who, what, where and when, and be able to question the world around them.

Thus, the following can be best attributed into teachers as facilitators of learning: 1) Present pupils with ques-

tions instead of answers.

Trade lectures for openended questioning instead of telling the pupils how something works, encourage them to work together and seek out an explanation for themselves. By finding an explanation instead of just listening to the teacher’s versions of events, students are more likely to internalize the information and place it in their long-term memory banks; 2) Create a learning partnership with the pupils that instead of taking on the pupil roles of teacher and subservient pupils, set up a partnership with your pupils, make it clear that you are all working together as a class group to discover information and enhance group understanding of the content material; 3) Provide application opportunities, if pupils apply information they have learned, they are more likely to commit to memory. Teachers should create projects specifically designed to encourage information application; and 4) Teachers should encourage the pupils to interact while they learn. Learning does not have to be a solitary pursuit. By allowing pupils to work with each other as they build understanding you increase the likelihood that they remain engaged throughout the lesson.

their professors to be more efficient and effective in teaching classes, and they feel that technology helps them to be more efficient and effective students.

As students’ digital literacy grows, teachers must match or surpass the level of technology students’ use outside of the classroom.

Students are coming to us with much different demands than they did even five years ago. They are tech savvy and tech focused. They want to

Students love modern technologies, and it’s easier to engage them in learning if the teacher use online learning techniques. Some key benefits of using technologies in the classroom: interest students in the educational process; keep in touch with students; develop creative thinking; teach innovative things; and gain new learning experience. Students are becoming digitally literate, and it affects their self-development.

Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learners

By IAVANISSA A. OBEJERO Teacher III

In a classroom setting, it composes of diversity of learners. Diverse student learners include students from racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse families and communities of lower socioeconomic status.

With this kind of learners, they are definitely different in their attitude and behavior.

As a teacher, one should be knowledgeable to handle this kind of classroom setting. In most cases, teachers applied differentiated lesson to provide appropriate instructions to diverse learners. Differentiated instruction involves giving students choices about how to learn and how to demonstrate their learning.

Differentiated instruction is the way in which a teacher anticipates and responds to a variety of students’ needs in the classroom. To meet students’ needs, teachers

differentiate by modifying the content (what is being taught), the process (how it is taught) and the product (how students demonstrate their learning). Having choice helps boost student engagement in the task.

Differentiated instruction is an approach that takes its philosophy from the root of its name: different. Every classroom of 35 learners has 35 different combinations of personality, interests, learning styles and background knowledge about that content area. A differentiated classroom would present students with choices in terms of how to learn a concept, how to practice that concept, and how to show the teacher they know it. The planning is more time-consuming, but DI is widely considered best practice as it seeks to meet the needs of all students.

contribute to a positive workplace environment.

Teamwork is when a group of individuals works cooperatively and efficiently toward a collective goal or to accomplish a set aim.

A work environment that values teamwork motivates employees to develop confidence in colleagues and build professional integrity.

The positive climate that results from cooperation builds strong bonds among employees and capitalizes

for success at work.

Most importantly, teamwork creates a system to ensure that deadlines are met and that there’s high quality work. When one team member falls behind, there’s another to pick up the pieces. When work is divvied up among members of a team, it gets done faster, making the overall business operate more efficiently. Your team will develop a sense of comradery as you work toward a common goal.

Strengthening the DepEd Child Protection Policy

By MARGIE R. BALO

According to DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012 re Policy Guidelines on Protecting Children in School from Abuse, Violence, Exploitation, Discrimination, Bullying and other Forms of Abuse and pursuant to the 1987 Constitution, that the State shall defend the right of children to assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and other conditions prejudicial to their development (Article XV, Section 3 [2]).

Thus, the Department of Education, in collaboration with its partners and stakeholders, shall ensure that all schools are conducive to the education of children. The best interest of the child shall be the paramount consideration in all decisions and

actions involving children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities, and legislative bodies consistent with the First Call for Children, as enunciated in the Convention in the Rights of the Child (CRC).

Moreover, the Department recognizes that cases of abuse may arise as a result of the difficult situations faced by teachers and other officials within and outside school.

With this, as a teacher, we must be well-equipped and well-informed about this policy so that we would be able to be fully guided on the pros and cons of our courses of actions. As we are a learner-centered public institution, the welfare and common good of our learners should always be on the top of every situation.

Enough power supply for May polls: DOE

By KRIS CRISMUNDO

MANILA – The Department of Energy (DOE) has assured the public that there will be enough power supply during the May 9 elections.

In a press briefing Tuesday, DOE director Mario Marasigan said the outlook hinges on the start

of the original commercial operation of GNPower Dinginin 2, which has a maximum capacity of 668 megawatts (MW).

“We can show you that there are no potential yellow alerts or red alerts for the entire year,” Marasigan said.

the forced outages in the past years, the red alert could happen in two consecutive weeks after the election, he added.

Marasigan said the D OE, along with the Energy Task Force Election, identified possible solutions if there will be delays on the commercial operation of GNPower Dinginin 2.

“We have to recognize that even if there will be delays in the commercial operation of GNPower Dinginin 2, by April, they will already start the test and commissioning, and at least 400 megawatts will be available on the grid,” he said.

Marasigan said SMC Mariveles power plant is also expected to be online with a capacity of 150 MW. “Also another solution is we are seeing if we

can optimize the LuzonVisayas interconnection, up to 350 MW would still be available,” he added.

DOE Undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella said the Energy Task Force Election will be working and coordinating closely to ensure that there will be no power interruption on election day.

The task force is composed of DOE, National Electrification Administration, National Power Corporation, National Transmission Corporation, Philippine National Oil Company, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation, Philippine Electricity Market Corporation/ Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines, and Manila Electric Company.

A Teacher’s Role in this time of Pandemic -JAMELIE R. HOMILLADA-

Nobody anticipated this pandemic would happen at this time. During its rampage, many lives were lost, jobs and dreams were shattered, opportunities were missed, and the manner we used to live altered in the blink of an eye.

No one can deny the fact that the most affected individuals are the children. Aside from the fact that their education is at stake, restrictions to the outside world such as attending school, interacting with others, and making friends were enormously deprived of them. Furthermore, the alarming increase in cases of domestic crimes, the too much exposure to the online world, the declining health and mental wellness provoked the potentials of risking their lives aside from Covid 19.

With this crisis, we are reminded of the vital role of a teacher in the lives of students during times of strife. None of us expected this. Are you still the Idealist teacher? A theorist teacher?

A traditional educator? Or

a teacher who is adaptive and responsive to the flow of time?

This reminded me of my undergraduate years, where our professors still taught us the psychological approach to dealing with learners. Each child is a unique persona with complex multi-intelligence that allows the learner to become a holistic being regardless of his or her environment.

The learning process will be affected if the learner suffers from these challenges.

May we reflect that grades will not define the future of our learners, but the way we taught them, inspired them, and guided them in dealing with life’s difficulties. These will always leave a spot in their hearts as they journey through this life. Let us not leave them with memories that are full of trials and hardship to carry on. Let us be a true parent or friend to them, encouraging them to strive more, overcome setbacks, and continue to deal with life.

Lacson: Presidency is All About Service, Not Power January 24, 2022 - The presidency is all about service, not power.

On this note, Partido Reporma chairman and standard-bearer Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed that the nation’s leader must see himself as the people’s ultimate servant.

“We should al l s ee Malacañang as the seat of public service instead of the seat of power. The people may not be its occupant’s masters but definitely he is their servant,” he said on his Twitter account.

“Dapat ang occupant ang tingin sa sarili niya, servant.

Ang ating kababayan may not be his masters but he is their servant. Kasi naluklok siya sa Malacanang, huwag niya isipin upuan ng kapangyarihan kundi upuan ng public service (The Palace’s occupant should see himself or herself as a servant. Our people may not be his or her masters but he or she is their servant.

If he or she were placed in Malacanang, it would be wrong for him or her to think that the Palace is the seat of power - it is the seat of public service),” he added in an interview on Bombo Radyo Philippines.

Teachers’ Computer Literacy as Tool for Teaching

By CIELO MAR THERESE Q. ARAŃA

The world is undergoing rapid changes in the fields of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) and the role of the 21st century teacher has had to adopt accordingly to fit and exist within the said changes in the classroom. Almost all the areas of human life today requires knowledge of the computer. It is therefore mandatory for the modern day teacher to be highly computer literate to be able to assist learners to fit well into the modern society.

The world of teachers and students is expected to continue to change dramatically throughout the 21st century and beyond. There is a paradigm shift in the way teaching and learning is delivered. As a 21st century teacher, one has to develop essential knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values to be able to cope with

these changes and to help the students address their needs.

The contemporary education system could become irrelevant if the educational gap between how students live and how students learn is not filled. This new generation of learners requires fast access to new knowledge and are capable of taking integrated information to a new level.

Teachers should be updated with the rapid educational trends in technological age where computer is applied in delivering classroom instructions. This versatile machine has the ability to combine speed, and accuracy. To adopt and cope the changes, the field of education especially teachers are required to study the use the application of new technology in order to improve their competence and effectiveness in discharging their duties.

During “The Jessica Soho Presidential Interviews” last Saturday, when Lacson and other presidential candidates were shown a photo of Malacañang and asked to describe it, Lacson answered, “public servant” - in contrast to the answers of one of the other aspirants that it is the “seat of power.”

On the other hand, Lacson said that when he and the other aspirants were shown a photo of President Rodrigo Duterte and asked to describe it, he said “sayang,” because Mr. Duterte could have used his popular support to properly implement his administration’s

The Pandemic Mentor Version 2.0

By JANETTE L. ORCIA Teacher III Lugait Central School

Last year we saw a school year of pandemic peak or so we believe we did. It was a year of tremendous trials for the education department: calendar year started late in October, confusion over lesson transmission, and concerns over the health and well-being issues of teachers and learners burdened education heads. Making things more depressing, are the deaths of neighbors in our residential community and the deaths of fellow teachers in the DepEd MisOr community. In the work front, veteran teachers struggled with technology-assisted instruction while the rest of the teaching force experienced anxiety over mass module reproduction and felt the pressure over the effectivity of self-learning modules. Education workers also suffered from the strain of mobility limitations.

This school year 20212022 marks the second year of the pandemic-dominated school years. We sure hope there won’t be a third. Getting used to the initiated work guidelines of last year, this school year (in its second half ), tones down a notch the challenges of last year.

Yet with the level 3 IATF classification for Misamis

Oriental recently, we could only keep our fingers positively crossed and hope that the Divine Providence favors healing the province.

The world continues to turn and so is the work life of the pandemic teacher.

The pandemic teacher has survived the harshness of the previous year and has collected certain skill set to forego her teaching mission.

She may complain about trivial matters in the work station but she perseveres.

She may cringe over minor injustices but she will not cower from duties and responsibilities. She may even go the extra mile wherever learning delivery is at stake.

This teacher is both a survivor and innovator. Whenever work demands that distant learning needed sacrifices in the form of classroom innovation, she sets her plan of action, strategize for a goal and follow through with the hurdles of classroom innovation. Overall, the pandemic teacher is not perfect but more improved than its predecessor. Familiar with the limitations of pandemic schooling she has become flexible, compassionate and even more driven to hand over quality learning deliveries to her learners.

THE FACE OF NEW NORMAL Start... from page 6 JAMELIE R. HOMILLADA Teacher I

Back in elementary and high school, I was enrolled in two Basic Education Curriculum and the transformation of my Education which was from DECS (Department of Culture and Sports) to DepEd (Department of Education). Two periods shaped me into who I am now, and I am honored to be a part of this Agency of our government serving as a public servant.

Looking back, the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) and the Revised Basic Education Curriculum (RBEC) were a long way from my life as a public school teacher.

My vivid recollections of elementary and high school days provided me with nice, hilarious events that I can say were important parts of my childhood and adolescence years.

I recall how tough and intelligent my grade one teacher was. She taught me to read Henny Penny several times simply to learn how to read my CVC pattern, I can’t leave home early otherwise. The Multiplication Table, I had to learn till Grade 4. My Grade 2 teacher, who never got tired of teaching us cursive writing and taught us to speak English whenever we bought something from our school canteen.

I also clearly remembered watering the plants in our garden in front of our classroom in the morning and afternoon. My primary teachers were like my Fairy Godmothers in Cinderella’s Story- every time I went to school, a superhero who can grant my requests. My school was my playground, my haven where I can learn a lot, make friends, and feel comfortable in the hands of my teachers. On the other hand, high school days were the best and you will never be the same again. I was enthusiastic about the History class, HE-Agriculture class, an elective class. Time spent in the library during those periods was very important or else you would be late for class the next day assignment. Transferring from one classroom to another or, fortunately, from one building to another, it is more enjoyable to stroll for the next period class that will be tough for us to understand to meet our next disciplinary topic instructor. Learning those times in the carefree setting of school was so memorable and significant that I knew I was destined to be a part of this ministry and become a teacher myself someday.

As a secondary teacher with twenty years in the teaching ministry, I can affirm that the face of education shifts with the tides of time.

I’ve had to fight endless fights to grasp my students’ distinct uniqueness, which is vastly different from what I experienced in elementary days. As much as I strove for a child-friendly environment with an excellent education in my teaching method, many elements affect my students’ ability to complete their high school education. My first ten years as a public school teacher introduced me to the many events in a student’s life as well as the psychology that would suit them according to their requirements, not as a terror teacher but as an inspiring mentor who will assist them and accompany them through the troubled environment of their age.

I never thought that I will experience Pandemic during my service as a public school teacher. The New Normal that the Department of Education introduced to us will be another hurdle for our learners as well as for teachers and school. Public school teachers were mobilized and always made to adjust to the new mode of delivery of teaching.

From the traditional face-to-face class to distance learning such as modular and online classes. A paradigm shift that teachers must accept to address the crisis faced due to the pandemic. Still aiming for quality of education but this time with a heart to understand learners’ shortcomings. The New normal taught us so many lessons in life as a teacher, as a parent, as an individual, and a responsible citizen. For me, Survival is the Keyword of the face of new normal in education. Survival in a sense that education must continue in a learner though sometimes it is so frustrating to accept on what will be the outcome of quality education will be delivered to our learners yet teachers must accept the fact and be open-minded to help the learners to survive their education during this difficult times.

The Face of New normal in education reminds us teachers to be human and teach with a heart.

Nobody predicts that a pandemic will exist in our generation. Life goes on for every one of us. Our Department of education is flexible enough to find means to address the crisis and as a public school teacher, and one of the front-liners too, we may never be tired to accept the challenges that await us and be optimistic to find hopes for the sake of our learners. Indeed, Teaching is the noblest profession of all times and what season it may take.

A Teacher’s Niche in Society

By LIZA L. MONDELO Teacher III Lugait Central School

As we thoroughly think about it, the typical public school teacher has not changed that much from the public school teacher of 50 years back in terms of his/ her role in society.

Can we easily presume that a teacher’s value in society is directly proportional to his standard monthly salary?

Perhaps, yes. Perhaps, not.

Perhaps it is so much easier to jump into conclusions where public wage-equals-public worth is concern. If we are to talk about it, allow me to serve this notable info from the world wide web: Teacher 1 salary is P25,439 (testpinoy. com); Nurse salary is P28, 397 (salaryexpert.com); Police Officer 1 salary is P29,668 and Military Officer salary mirrors that of the cop’s at the same number and higher when skills and educational attainment are computed in (philippinego.com). These data could indicate that the teacher is least paid among government workers.

A teacher’s role in society is more or less carved out.

The teacher is regarded both as the bringer of continuous

learning to young children and the youth, and the instructional crafter who passes on information as well as teach how best it is applied in real-life setting. He or she is also responsible in recommending various possibilities of knowledge application to his or her learners as they eventually pursue their own vocations as they grow up.

There is some kind of moral obligation attached to the job description of a teacher but most do well.

The teacher’s niche in society and their contribution (or professional value) may not be at par with national leaders, lawmakers, business magnates and the rest of the public serving workforce but it does not mean that they will not continue with the crucial responsibility of ensuring quality education to the youth, of emphasizing DepEd’s flagship core values of ‘Maka-Dios, Maka-Tao, Maka-Kalikasan and MakaBansa’, of raising enough awareness of our collective identity as a nation and a people for the greater good of the generations to come.

By IAVANISSA A. OBEJERO Teacher III

Computers deal exciting approaches to teaching that were not even dreamed of twenty years ago. However, the extent to which the educational potential of computer technology will be realized remains to be seen.

Use of computers can transform teaching and learning and could bring advances that would improve education dramatically. Ordinary students would make massive gains and bright students could meet greater challenges.

Through no fault of their own, most teachers are not prepared to teach about computing or use a computer in teaching because they received their education “BC” before computers. Positive teacher attitudes toward computers are widely recognized as a necessary condition for effective use of information technology in the classroom. Teacher attitudes toward computer technology may be a significant factor

in the use of computers in education. It also affect the successful use of computers in the classroom and these attitudes, whether positive or negative, affect how teachers respond to technologies.

This in turn affects the way students view the importance of computers in schools and affects current and future computer usage. Computer literate individuals will reap greater benefits than their counterparts who lack that knowledge.

New and innovative approaches in computer technology have challenged traditional approaches to teaching and learning. Computers provided many resources and opportunities that have brought about new tools, approaches, and strategies in language teaching and learning. The success of any initiatives to implement computer technology in an educational program depends on the support and attitudes of teachers involved.

Good relationship, positive academic outcomes

By MARGIE R. BALO

Improving students’ relationship with teachers has important, positive and long-lasting implications for both students’ academic and social development.

Solely improving students’ relationship with their teachers will not produce gains in achievement. However, having good rapport and relationship with teachers, for students, is quite alike since having a harmonious relationship with everyone is necessary.

Take for example, a student who feels a strong personal connection to her teacher, talks with her teacher frequently, and re-

ceives more engagement in learning, behave better in class and achieve at higher levels academically. Positive teacher-student relationship draws pupils into the process of learning and promote in their desire to learn.

That is why as teachers as well¸ we should treat our students fairly and squarely and we should establish a good relationship to all of them not just to a group of them. As their second parents, we should let them feel that they have a family in school so that in one way or the other, they will be better inspired when they come to school.

Education Continues; Teachers the Heroes

By ROSELYN BERNIDO Education Program Specialist II DepEd Camiguin

The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected the world and has brought numerous challenges, especially in the education sector. Although interventions are instituted by leaders of the country, pushing to continue education. Still, it is thought to be not enough if the quality of instruction is concerned knowing that teachers’ physical presence is out in the process of teaching-learning.

There is clamor from a few sectors urging the leadership of DepEd to push for at least limited Face-to-Face classes.

Still, the continuous surge of cases across ages, especially in the unvaccinated age group, 12 down, fears the government to risk opening classes.

With the shift of learning delivery to distance learning (Modular, On-line, RadioBased Instruction, Blended), the teachers are the most challenged. The drastic shift did not prepare the field in this manner of instruction,

and generally, it causes so much burden. It poses several reactions, especially among areas where accessibility is complicated, and the availability of instructional materials is limited.

In response, the hierarchy of DepEd institutes measures and strategies to mitigate the possible deterioration of the quality of learning outcomes and participation rate among school children during this Pandemic.

Finally, credits are given to teachers, for once again, unceasingly performing their job in educating the youth of this nation, even amid uncertainties and putting their lives in the firing lines to deliver what the children deserved. Indeed, the tag line “My teacher, My Hero” perfectly describes how teachers play their role in the national building regardless of difficulties brought about by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Making every child a reader

By CHERYL L. SOLIJON Teacher III

The ECARP is a national program that addresses the thrust of DepEd to make every Filipino child a reader at his/ her own level. It is designed to equip elementary pupils with strategic reading and writing skills to make them independent young readers and writers. It also provides a year-long training for teachers to make them multi-literate and independent problem solvers. The purpose of the Program is to develop in Filipino children literacy and numeracy skills and attitudes that will contribute to lifelong learning. With this, it is the goal of the Department to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of Kindergarten to Grade 3 learners following the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum by establishing a sustainable and cost-effective professional development system for teachers.

Reading is very much important and essential to one’s life, as it entails so much benefits. That is why at a very young age, pupils are duly encouraged to make reading a habit aside from being able to read. Reading is fundamental to functioning in today’s society. There are

many adults who cannot read well enough to understand the instructions on a medicine bottle. That is a scary thought- especially for their children. Filling out applications becomes impossible without help. Another thing why reading bears so much importance is that reading is a vital skill in finding a good job. Many well-paying jobs require reading as a part of job performance. There are reports and memos which must be read and responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to absorb and react in the workplace. A person is limited in what they can accomplish without good reading and comprehension skills. And reading is so important because wordsspoken and written- are the building blocks of life. We are, right now, the result of words that we have heard or read and believed about ourselves. What we become in the future will depend on the words we believe about ourselves now. People, families, relationships, and even nations are built from words that is why we should always value reading.

About Taking Care of Pre-Schoolers

By JANETTE L. ORCIA Teacher III Lugait Central School

Toddlers are unique individuals. They are truly original. There is something about their innocence and rawness triggering grownups to emotionally bend or break, shout or smile, curse themselves or instantly shift to protective mode round the clock to ensure their overall safety and well-being.

We are discussing about toddlers since this is the age and the stage when kids transition into kindergarten. And kindergarten level as we already know is the entry point of basic public schooling. Toddler to post toddler years (2-7) in Jean Piaget’s preoperational stage when children develop language and abstract thought.

This means that they can think about concepts and ideas that are no physical (Sherrell, medicalnewstoday.com,2021). This stage of childhood is extremely crucial if ever parents want their kids to have a good start in kindergarten. Teachers are well aware of this but some parents may not be.

If we observe the child care mindset, attitude and habits of the regular Filipina working mother of preschoolers and kindergarten kids, it seems

that the provision of daily care: food, clothing, sleep, play, etc) precedes the regular parental involvement with toddler study time. They way we see it, some moms even easily lose their temper over their child’s learning pace and lack of love for study.

Most often than not, repetition is key whenever mom want her kid master a concept. In some cases, variety holds the key in engaging the kid to willingly join in the study activity. If one’s home can supply music, books, art materials and interactive videos, learning would be more sensorily stimulating. The availability of varied learning resources helps lengthen study engagement. Another saving factor for meaningful study time with toddlers, is immersing in nature. The beach, the meadow and a forested area can make toddlers play, explore and learn at the same time. There are plenty of means to take care of preschoolers’ school preparedness, parents and guardians need only be resourceful and seek advice from professionals and of course, maintain an open mind to try out other suggestions for the sake of their toddlers.

of all types of cooperatives including so called Electric Cooperatives to promote the viability and growth of cooperatives as instrument of social justice, equity and economic development.

A Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the first Chairperson of CDA, Chair Edna Aberilla and the DOE Secretary, Emmanuel Pelaez that these so called ECs must register with CDA within three (3) years. An Omnibus Rules and Regulations were drafted to put the Agreement into reality.

But these so-called Electric Cooperatives have all these years created a strong cabal of vested interest. Of the 119 so-called ECs, only 13 were registered with CDA that have recognized the capital contributions of their respective memberconsumer-owners. Those recently registered with the CDA have been questioned.

Why are some oligarchs who are in energy do not want these ECs to become genuine cooperatives?

Well, such truism is manifested by the experience of the Davao del Norte Electric Cooperative (DANECO).

In 2013, it was registered with CDA because in a referendum, 50,000 MCOs voted for CDA, 1,500 for NEA, and 700 for SEC. After complying with all of the requirements, DANECO came into being as a cooperative.

But the Oligarchs (Aboitiz) was against that so through Sec. Jose Rene Almendras who was then the Cabinet Secretary of Pres. Aquino and very pro-Aboitiz went to the CDA Central Office and expressed his anger. In fact, then CDA Chairman, Dr. Emmanuel Santiaguel was charged in the Ombudsman but the case was dismissed.

When Dr. Santiaguel ended his term and was replaced by yours truly, then new CDA Chair Orlando Ravanera has now a case in the Sandigan Bayan for what?

For issuing a Certificate of Compliance (COC) to DANECO. Why should a COC be issued? Well, DANECO did comply with all of the requirements and before the Chairman signed the COC, all of those CDA officials, i.e., regional director, lawyers, had already given their signatures. Thus, the signing of the Chairman was just ministerial! For doing his job, for doing what is right and what is true and what is just, he has now a pending case in the Sandigan Bayan! Presently DANECO is owned and managed by ABOITIZ. When will this social injustice committed against the 13 million members be rectified? The time has come to put power where it rightfully belongs, that is, with the people. Yes, these so-called ECs are providing light to their members, yet, they put them in the dark regarding the genuine ownership of the ECs and as

member-consumer-owners, they are vested with rights that must be recognized.

Cooperativizing the electric cooperatives is an empowering tool to liberate our people from the quagmire of poverty, to be drawn into the mainstream of development processes. It must first recognize the members as member-consumer-owners.

Yes, the root cause of poverty is the people’s powerlessness to have access and control over their utilities that they rightfully owned.

But there are some oligarchs who cannot moderate their greed. Gumising na po tayo!

– instead of looking at it as something that inspires patriotism in the youth.”

“If only he wasn’t so quick to react, he would have realized that I also emphasized the need for the youth to be prepared for disasters and become proactive community partners in rescue operations and in aiding victims of calamities,” “I wanted them to be able to stand on their own, help themselves, help the communities, and help the nation,” Inday Sara tells Walden.

The obsession over dictatorship in the Philippines, she added “is as ancient as the belief that the youth have no actual important role in building a nation that is progressive and peaceful.”

“If only Mr. Bello did not stop at what he has been so stuck in over the past many years — dictatorship in the Philippines, something that we know is a lie in the present time — he would have a better understanding of what I truly stand for”.

Walden could never be like Sara. They live in two different worlds. Walden in the safety of academic campuses and pursuance of an irrelevant ideology while Sara in the real world. As the surveys show Sara is on a straight path to the vice presidency, while Walden is consigned to defeat.

the challenges we encountered, God allows our project to be successful. It has been a very productive one and a half year,” she said.

Emphasizing how the impact of a project is multiplied when everyone is working together, Branal urged World Vision’s partners in Marawi to continue their unity and solidarity for the city to prosper.

The UCPP aims to strengthen child protection mechanisms in schools and the community. Under this, schools kits were provided to more than 1,000 learners from five identified schools in the city. Handwashing facilities and school playgrounds were also turned over to these educational institutions. Medical supplies and equipment were likewise provided to the City Health Office and the five barangays where these schools are located.

The UCPP also included mental health and psychosocial support services to internally displaced persons in partnership with the Marawi City Schools

Division.

City Schools Division Superintendent Anna Zenaida Unte-Alonto thanked World Vision for aiding them since the start of the Marawi siege and giving their teachers and children a chance to engage.

“You have given back our confidence, our strength to finally stand up from what had happened,” she said as she described the UCPP as a holistic project which covers psychosocial first aid to disaster risk mitigation.

Unte also hopes that other schools under the Division will also be chosen

by World Vision as recipients for future projects and that the organization would stay until their last learner in Marawi is transitioned to a normal school. (APB/ PIA Lanao del Sur)

strategy, a specific department within an office or establishment where COVID-19 transmission is prevalent will be put on lockdown so that other departments where no cases have been reported can continue to function.

The same measure will be imposed in local and national agencies, she added.

“We are doing lockdown but we are doing granular lockdown unlike before where we had total lockdown, which is very detrimental on the operations of establishments and other businesses,” Schlosser said.

She said district health offices have been tasked to undertake a risk assessment to determine which part of an office will be put on lockdown.

“We are doing what we call risk assessment. If the number of cases is not so high in a particular establishment, it’s not necessary that we hamper the whole operation because we also have to balance health and economy. Whether we like it or not, both of these are very important for us to live,” Schlosser said.

She said granular lockdown is “quite effective” in containing the spread of infections in an establishment.

She said the city government looks for strategies to keep the economy thriving and at the same time ensure health and safety of the public.

Schlosser said district health offices are doing a risk assessment for 20 establishments where cases

Sultan Kudarat farmers to launch “pinakbet garden” THE Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in the province of Sultan Kudarat recently handed out various farm inputs and tools to Silang Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Association (SARBA) to launch a vegetable gardening project in the town of Bagumbayan.

Dubbed as “pinakbet garden” by the farmer-members of SARBA, a DAR-assisted organization, this project is expected to provide additional income to the farmers and become a part of the town’s sustainable food source amidst pandemic.

Vegetable crops such as eggplant, okra, string beans, squash, and tomatoes among others would be planted to a 5,000-square meter lot in Barangay Silang and are seen

to be harvested within three to four months.

Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Mary Jane Aguilar said the farming kits, consisting of various vegetable seedlings, fertilizer, and tools, were provided under the Buhay sa Gulay project.

“The Buhay sa Gulay project is designed as a self-help start-up livelihood project.

It also aims to reduce poverty and eradicate hunger, particularly in marginalized urban barangays,” she said.

Aguilar added that Buhay sa Gulay Project is implemented by the department nationwide to help the government address food security in the country as well as provide the farmers with an additional source of income.

of COVID-19 have been reported.

“It undergoes a process but definitely if there is need for granular lockdown, we will impose granular lockdown. As of now, do not expect total lockdown because we are trying to make sure that the economy and health can thrive together,” she said.

Schlosser added that the local government may still impose a hard lockdown on entire buildings if warranted.

“But if there are significant high cases and the spread in that establishment is generalized, we will be left with no choice but to impose a hard lockdown. We will also do that. As much as possible, we will do risk assessment,” she said.

Last Monday, Mayor Sara Duterte said during her program over DCDR 87.5 that the local government would no longer implement street and barangay lockdowns as did the city government before.

MANILA – The Department of Tourism (DOT) is strengthening its promotion of the country through the 2nd Hybrid Philippine Education Tourism Conference (PETC) that will be held in Clark, Pampanga on January 26-27.

Led by the DOT through its Office of Product and Market Development, the two-day conference aims to further develop English as a Second Language (ESL), considered as the country’s key education tourism product being promoted by the office since 2013.

“Among the biggest challenges we face today is how to effectively provide students with their learning requirements. Because of the pandemic, teachers, students, and schools had to shift quickly to digital forms of instruction,” Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat, who is set to open the event on January 26, said in a news release issued on Tuesday.

“Despite this difficult educational environment, we have to continue equipping

our students with the necessary skills to succeed in an unpredictable world, which requires innovation and a strong support network.

As such, the Department of Tourism will continue to conduct activities that will further the growth of the education tourism industry and assist our stakeholders.”

Before the pandemic, the Philippines was considered the world’s fifth-largest ESL provider, Puyat said.

To enhance the country’s position, not only as an ESL hub but also as a multifaceted education tourism destination, the PETC will showcase to both local and foreign students short-term online and offline education tourism programs that are being offered by institutions in the Philippines in the new normal.

Local and foreign education tourism authorities will share their expertise in marketing strategies to help institutions make their offerings more appealing to foreign students.
