Provincial vet eyes hike in prices of meat By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent
MISAMIS Oriental--A provincial veterinarian yesterday said that prices of meat products have increased especially in areas hardly hit by African Swine Fever (ASF). Dr. Benjamine Resma, veterinarian of the province of Misamis Oriental, said that prices of pork started to increase in the region. Resma said that one of the reasons for the increase is the lack of supply of pork “as we supply 16-20,000
heads of pork products in Luzon.” He said that the daily requirement of the National Capital Region (NCR) is pegged at 3,000 heads per day “and we supply them.” He said the local governments in the province have also strictly implemented the entry of pork products especially comming from areas hardy hit by ASF. As of today, Resma said that no ASF-reported cases in Misamis Oriental “that is why we are strict when it comes to the entry of pork products.”

The new normal in the education sector By MARICRIS MASONGSONG RACHO Teacher III Bugo Central School
FROM the institutional perspective as well, campus and classroom interaction is important to holistically nurture global leaders. I believe that as far as education is concerned, this new normal will be reflected in a sharper segmentation of the economy. This will reinforce a trend that started before COVID-19. Young students with or no limited work experience and slightly older students who want to go back to senior high school for the last time will continue to seek a classroom learning experience leading to a formal degree by the time they will move to college. Friendships and
networks, peer learning, the whole college experience are valuable to students. From the institutional perspective as well, campus and classroom interaction is important. It’s difficult to see how we can do this holistically through the online mode alone. Schools may integrate some elements that work online to supplement classroom learning. Students have told us that they found from the recordings of classes useful to fill in things they missed in class. Breakout sessions help shape intense discussion and some of the online simulations were useful for learning. Some curricular changes may be necessary.

CAN you imagine the power of an individualized education plan for every student? Just think identifying the explicit skills that students need to work on and the plan that we have to help them achieve a mastery of that explicit skill. But there are plenty of reasons to be cautious. If anything, SPED demonstrates the vast challenges of individualizing education. Tailoring learning to students’ exact needs takes significant resources, teacher training and ideally, close collaboration with families, something many schools struggle to pull off. While there are limits to comparisons between the two educational approaches — special education is legally
mandated and personalized learning is a loosely defined pedagogical philosophy that takes many forms — some of the cracks that have appeared in personalized learning are not unlike those facing special education. Both types of education, for example, require significant resources and trained staff — but often don’t get either. Schools introducing personalized learning have faced criticism for relying on technology to help kids learn at different paces within the same classroom as districts avoid having to drastically scale up their staff; staff shortages have long been endemic in SPED. Meanwhile, for all the hype around personalized learning, evidence of its success remains scant.

SK Siquijor underscores programs to address pandemic toll on youth mental health MANILA - Local youth leaders are stepping up to address the simmering mental health crisis among young people, while the country continues to grapple with the impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The Sangguniang Kabataan Federation President of Siquijor Brylle Deeiah Tumarong on Tuesday discussed the initiatives of the provincial government on this, noting that the suicide cases among the youth in Siquijor in 2020 were alarming. “This pandemic brought a lot of challenges not just to the Kabataang Siquijor but to the rest of Siquihodnons in the entire province,” he said during a taped interview for Network Briefing News with host Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar. According to Tumarong, there were seven (7) recorded suicide cases from August to December of last year. “It’s very alarming in the entire province because somehow for the first time, there would be continuous suicide cases in the province of Siquijor,” she said. She said a task force was created to help address the deteriorating mental health
of youth amid the pandemic, including the conduct of outdoor sports activities and training more young individuals to help cope with the pressing restrictions. “Currently, we have allowed the young Siquihodnons to participate in sports tournaments or sports activities, granted that all the minimum public health standards should be strictly observed. Considering the fact that according to research, sports could help us mentally,” she said Through the task force, the SK also mobilized other youth leaders and extended its programs in schools. “After our governor signed the executive order on the creation of the said task force, immediately, we called for a meeting where we discussed the possible plans or programs of the province,” she said. “One of them is to train more young individuals to help us in group dynamics to help us in different issues that concern the young Siquihodnons, and also to create a group in the school level wherein we put drop boxes for letters so that individuals, even our teachers and the students, would express their feelings,” she added.
Sangguniang Kabataan Federation President of Siquijor Brylle Deeiah Tumarong discussed the programs and projects of the youth group amid the COVID-19 pandemic, during the Network Briefing News with Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar.
Tumarong, who is also the designated spokesperson of the Siquijor Provincial Task Force against COVID-19, bared the provincial LGU is supportive and is ready to train young leaders that will help in conducting psycho-
logical first-aid to distressed youths and frontline workers. SK as anti-insurgency advocates Meanwhile, Tumarong also discussed that the SK Federation of Siquijor is engaged in programs aiming to
attain peace and security in the country. A Youth Leadership Summit (YLS) was conducted, which aims to bring the government closer to the youth sector, especially that they are vulnerable to the deception of communist-
terrorist groups. “It may be a small step for other individuals, but this is our one big step in helping not just the entire province of Siquijor, but also the entire Republic of the Philippines,” she said.

DURING a special joint meeting last week, the boards of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and BPI Family Savings Bank (BFSB) unanimously agreed to set into motion the strategic union of the two banks. The merger, with BPI as the surviving entity, will take effect upon its approval by the regulators as well as the shareholders. Immediately after the meeting, BPI President Cezar “Bong” P. Consing, who is concurrently Chair of BFSB, announced: “We are thrilled to share, that after significant study, with the best interest of our clients in mind, BPI will begin the process of operationally merging with BPI Family Savings Bank (BFSB) – to form One BPI. “This merger has the best interest of our customers and employees in mind. Our shareholders will also benefit. This merger is timed to provide us with the platform to help lead the economic recovery that is sure to come.” In a separate email to BPI’s 8.5 million customers, Consing explained that “(t)his move will enable you to transact in more branches nationwide and conveniently access the suite of solutions offered by BPI Family Savings Bank – from auto loans and housing loans, to higher-yielding deposit products.” Consing added: “With this
merger, we are confident that we will be able to deliver on our promise of continuing to give you the best banking solutions and service. We are committed to making us ready for tomorrow, today.” Consing, meanwhile, assured BFSB’s 3,000 employees of “an opportunity to work across a larger, more varied bank, while having continuity of tenure and job level.” On July 1, 1985, the then Central Bank of the Philippines authorized BPI Family Savings Bank to operate as a thrift bank following the merger between BPI and Famiy Bank and Trust Company. At that time, it was considered the largest merger in Philippine banking history. BFSB offered a strong retail network and an extensive online system that reinforced BPI’s pioneering efforts in ATM. BFSB had a large footprint in consumer finance, with the absorption of Family Bank’s Filinvest Credit Corporation, then the largest and most profitable consumer finance company. BFSB has since become the largest thrift bank in the country with P287 billion in assets, P235 billion in deposits and P227 billion in loans. Best bank in 2020 Congratulations to the board and management of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), which was recently recognized as the Best Bank in the Philippines for 2020 by Euromoney, the prestigious
Ignacio Bunye global financial publication. Established in 1992, Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence is the first of its kind in the global banking industry. Euromoney cited BPI’s multi-year digital transformation journey and the success of its investment banking division, which in 2019 generated almost three times the revenues of the prior year. According to Euromoney, “Bank of the Philippine Islands is a port in a storm—and right now, we are in a storm. It isn’t the country’s biggest bank as measured by assets. But the Ayala-backed BPI has a higher tier-1 capital adequacy ratio (15.19% at the end of March 2020) compared to its chief rival.” If I may just add, financial analysts also notice that BPI is tops in other metrics like ROE, P/E and P/B ratios. The Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas gives BPI consistently high marks for good governance. The Securities and Exchange Commission lauds BPI for its Green Finance Framework.

MINDFUL Taking charge of oneself THE start of a brand new year is the time for most of us to set our plans for the rest of the year. While we busy ourselves setting the plans for the team and the organization, one very important plan that is often neglected, ignored, and overlooked is our own personal development planning. Personal Development Planning means improving oneself by focusing on certain habits and activities that will promote personal growth and help achieve one’s dreams and aspirations. The concept of Personal Development Planning only became popular in the Philippine workplace in recent years. In the past, doing a plan for your own self-development is often frowned upon. It’s considered being “too ambitious” or “adelantado”. And since most Filipinos in the past believe in the “Bahala Na” system where everything is left to chance, personal planning is not in their vocabulary. You would often hear the phrases “Bahala na ang Diyos” or “Bahala Na sa akin si Boss”, when talking about better career opportunities. Do you know of someone who is supposed to be good and have the potential but have often missed on a great career or business opportunities? Many people underachieve in their careers or businesses because they simply fail to realize and work on the areas of personal development that can help them earn the expertise, competence, and credibility. While some people were able to land good opportunities because they happened to be
in the right place at the right time, for most, they have to look for or create those opportunities. And they better be ready when the opportunities come. That is why it’s important that we make our personal development plans. Creating a plan for our personal development will prepare us and help us get a better sense of control for whatever comes our way. Having a personal development plan is crucial for our continuous personal growth, for increasing our potential for success, and for maximizing possible opportunities. In my experience and observation, just like any plans, preparing our personal development plan starts with having clear goals— both short term and long term. What do we aim to achieve in 5 years? What should we accomplish each year to help us hit our 5-year plan? Having a clear goal will allow us to plan the right course of action. Be S.M.A.R.T. when doing this. The next step is knowing and being conscious of our strengths as well as areas of improvement. Being honest about our “givens” is the first step to being better. What areas are we naturally gifted? What is lacking in us? We need to constantly assess where we stand in relation to achieving our goals. Tapping our natural gifts is not enough. We need to grow our skills and talents in our workplace. We need to be creative thinkers always looking for faster, better, easier, and cheaper ways to get the job done. We need to continuously better ourselves and step out
Jay Ledesma of our comfort zone. Attend all available training programs offered by the company, even those not directly related to our current job. Be involved in committees and projects which will expose us to other job functions and new skills. If opportunities are not available in the workplace, do self-study. There’s a lot of free learning materials on the internet which we can use. It is our job to be a better version of ourselves than we were yesterday. We need to possess and demonstrate good work habits and maintain a positive mental attitude. How are we under pressure? How do we behave when no one is watching? Sometimes, even the most skilled and talented ones missed on better career opportunities simply because they don’t display the right work habits and work attitudes. Don’t count the time and efforts we put into our job, give our best to whatever we do whether it’s recognized or not, be a team player, don’t take all the credits especially when it’s not yours, and always look at the brighter side of things instead of being “negatron”. I promise you, these will not go unnoticed! Personal development also involves expanding our contacts and network. Having an ever-widening circle of contacts See ONESELF, page 8

Bukidnon MSMEs receive product label enhancement from DOST-X
PACKAGING and labeling are keys when it comes to product marketing. Labeling, in particular, helps the product stand out in the market and aids the consumers to identify the products as well as their benefits. In Bukidnon, business activities highly boost the economy by providing employment and investment opportunities. However, most products were noncompliant with the required packaging and labeling mandated by the country. With a thorough assessment of the MSMEs’ needs for product label en-
hancement, DOST-Bukidnon partnered with the DOST-Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI) in providing improved sticker product labels among five (5) MSMEs in Bukidnon. DOST-Bukidnon distributed approximately 7,583 product label pieces to Mama Nene Food Products for its famous Pineapple Jam, Cabanglasan Special Program for Employment of Student’s Parents Association (CSPESPA) for its Pancit Canton with Squash, Kakaiba Kibangay Products Mrs. Melena V.

DTI vows continued support amid halt on easing of restrictions areas under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) starting Feb. 1. Lopez said Duterte asked the IATF to further observe the situation as the UK SARS-CoV-2 variant is already present in the country. “He asks us to study further the new variant because it might spread and the blame might be put on the easing of age restriction,” he said. Lopez added that the IATF can implement the adjustment in age restriction once they can control the spread of the new Covid-19 variant. “(We) will continue with the current support pro-

MANILA – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) assured continued support for entrepreneurs to help their businesses thrive and survive amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. In a message to reporters Tuesday, DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez said the IATF will “follow the wisdom of our President”. This came after President Rodrigo Duterte recalled the decision of the InterAgency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATFEID) to allow people aged 10 to 14 years old to go outside their residences in DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez.

Jollibee aims 100 store openings of Vietnamese resto in PH
MANILA – To achieve its goal of making PHO24 a leading global pho chain, the Jollibee Group is set to expand Vietnam’s pho chain brand with a target 100 store openings in the Philippines, starting with three new store openings this year. The first opening in 2021 is scheduled next month and will be located at the Jollibee Tower in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. “We are looking forward to the new store openings of PHO24 this year as part of plans for the long-term strategic growth of the Jollibee Group,” Joseph Tanbuntiong, Jollibee Group
Country Business Group Head for the Philippines, said in a statement Monday. Tanbuntiong said the company is also developing the brand’s own delivery platform to cater to the increasing demand and to reach new customers, and will be launching new products. “We have seen the growing love of Filipinos for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and PHO24’s expansion in the Philippines provides Filipino foodies with distinctly different pho meals that are both tasty and nutritious,” he added.

Parent satisfaction during COVID By EDITHA D. HALANDUMON, Master Teacher I Doña Consuelo Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City
LEADERS and teachers move swiftly to ensure continuity of children’s learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and parents and guardians certainly appreciate their efforts with a new survey showing high levels of satisfaction with how schools adapted. The education system has procedures in place to ensure parents and teachers are communicating on both behavioral and performance progress. However, there is a call from parents to be educated about the teaching methodology so they can ensure they’re supporting their child’s education in the home setting. On the issue of communicating with parents and families, many schools have brief
parent-teacher interviews that do justice to the work being done by teachers as well as the efforts of students and the progress they are making in their learning. Schools, teachers and policy makers like the Department of Education (DepEd) must take a more holistic approach. Effective ongoing discussion on the nature of learning that occurs in schools and the approach to homework will lead to a better educational environment for Filipino children. Parents of children attending primary school believe that their children have the least ability to pay attention to learning compared to parents of secondary schoolchildren. How often do you communicate with your child?

He added that strict compliance with minimum health standards should continue while improving Covid-19-proofing of establishments to enhance consumer confidence. The DTI and the National Economic and Development Authority recommended the easing of age restrictions from 15 to 65 years old to 10 to 65 years old to allow more economic activities, particularly spending from family activities such as shopping and dining.

Bold education steps to combat pandemic By FELCRES BANDIALA BUCOD Teacher III Bugo Central School
THE COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption to education in history and prolonged school closures can further entrench inequalities in access to learning. As the world faces unsustainable levels of inequality, we need education – the great equalizer – more than ever. Now, we face a generational catastrophe that can waste untold human potential, undermine decades of progress and exacerbate entrenched inequalities. The knock-on effects on child nutrition, child marriage and gender equality, among others, are deeply concerning. We must take bold steps now to create inclusive, resilient, quality education
systems fit for the future. There must be action in four key areas starting with the reopening of schools once local transmission of COVID-19 is under control. Education budgets need to be protected and increased. And it is critical that education is at the heart of international solidarity efforts by countries from debt management and stimulus packages to global humanitarian appeals and official development assistance. Education initiatives must also seek to reach those at greatest risk of being left behind. They must be sensitive to the specific challenges faced by girls and boys while also addressing the digital divide.
For the Love of Teaching and Learning By HERMIE ISRAEL JACQUEZ Teacher I- West City Central School
Teachers are an integral facet of society. Their effort and impact are infinite. Through education, society passes on knowledge, values, history and the collective sense of community. Education is how a society celebrates its past and prepares for its future. Teachers are the facilitators of education.However, given the clear importance of teachers to the society for whom they serve, teachers are quite a controversial group of people. Some people said they are experts. Others, they are failing our children; they are selfless child advocates. During my 24th years in DEPED, there are countless
teachers and 99% of them have noble and admirable reasons for being educators. Most teachers do not think of their work as a job, but as a calling. They work to serve society and contribute to the advancement of humanity. I think I knew very early on in life that my vocation was to be a teacher. I had a love of learning instilled by my parents as well as by my early teachers; both encouraging and cheering on my competitive and inquisitive mind. I always loved a challenge and found incredible joy in figuring out answers to problems. I loved the whole experience that was school and learning.

Duterte wants kids aged 10-14 to stay inside homes By AZER PARROCHA
MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday night said he wants children aged 10-14 years old to stay inside their homes despite the easing of age restrictions recently approved by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID). In a taped speech, Duterte said it it necessary to take the precaution of prohibiting children outside after the health department said that there were UK variant samples found in Mountain Province and La Trinidad, Benguet. “Akin (Mine) is a precaution because there is or there was a strain discovered in the Cordillera that is very similar to the strain dito sa (in the) United Kingdom. How it got there is beyond me…but nandoon, nakita naman nila (it’s there, they saw it) and I trust that our doctors, our medical workers are really competent enough to determine the situation existing. So balik ho kayo sa bahay muna (you have to stay indoors for the meantime),” he said. He explained that he was particularly concerned about reports that the new Covid-19 variant spreads more easily in children. “Takot lang ako kasi itong bagong (I’m just scared because this new) strain strikes the young children,” he said, noting that the original strain found it harder to infect children than adults. “Itong original na Covid (strain) hardly if at all na wala kang marinig na may bata. Meron (This original Covid strain hardly if at all you won’t hear about kids getting infected. There are) one or two, and you can count it by the fingers of your hands.”
Duterte also quipped about having children aged 10-14 watch television while stuck indoors. “Pero itong mga 10, 11, 12 (years-old) puwede na ito sa TV. They can glue their attention sa TV the whole day,” he said. Last week, the IATF-EID announced that age restrictions in areas under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) will be eased starting February, with those aged 10 years to 65 years already allowed to go out. Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles later clarified that children aged 10-14 will only be allowed to go outside if accompanied by their parents or guardians. On Monday, Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez defended allowing children to go out amid the pandemic, saying that it is necessary to boost spending. “Our principle here is that family expenditure accounts for 30 to 50 percent in commercial areas,” Lopez said, calling on Metro Manila mayors to consider easing the age restrictions to restimulate economic activities. Doctors’ groups like the Philippine Pediatric Society and the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society of the Philippines earlier thumbed down proposals to allow children in malls. Follow health protocols Duterte also urged the public to be “religious” in observing health and safety protocols such as wearing of face masks and face shields, frequent hand-washing, and physical distancing as confirmed Covid-19 cases in the country reached 514,996 on Monday. “I hope that you would be religious in obeying the See WANTS, page 9
Learning recovery By FELCRES BANDIALA BUCOD Teacher III Bugo Central School
WITH over half of the world’s student population still affected by full or partial school closures, the International Day of Education is observed January 24. Educators focus on the need to mobilize intellectual and financial resources to overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 disruption and address profound preexisting structural issues. In 2020, the pandemic resulted in an unprecedented global learning disruption and school closures affecting over 1.6 billion students in over 190 countries. As the virus resurges, around one billion students continue to be affected by the full or partial closure of schools – increasing the risk of learning loss, dropping out of educa-
tion completely and social isolation. The International Day of Education aims to stimulate commitments and actions to ensure educational recovery, increase inclusion and reduce dropout rates, celebrate initiatives led by governments, educators and non-government institutions as well as partnerships to build back more resilient and inclusive education systems, advocate for increased financing and best practices in equitable education funding that effectively serves the most disadvantaged, give a voice to the COVID-19 generation to express their concerns and aspirations in the face of a future under the shadow of economic recession and climate change.

New learning approach in the new normal By MARICRIS MASONGSONG RACHO Teacher III Bugo Central School
THE year 2020 has proven to be challenging in the education sector of our country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the current school year, schools nationwide have shifted from the traditional face to face academic instruction the relatively new non-face to face approach of teaching and learning. This approach mainly utilizes teacher-made learning modules that students are expected to independently comprehend the content and answer the given tasks and activities. Self-learning modules help to inculcate self-study habits and self-confidence among students. These two characteristics are essential in this time where learners
are basically the captain of their learning. Using modules as the primary mode of learning forces students to understand the learning contents of their learning material. As opposed to having their teacher provide lectures and discussions in school, they are left to read and comprehend the lesson with minimal supervision from their parents or guardians. With improved study habits, students will be able to gauge how much they will learn and how far they can go particularly in the accomplishment of learning tasks stated in their self-learning modules. Reading habit is probably the most important study habit.

Positivity effects on COVID-19 to teachers’ modular By ANTONIETA H. MACABODBOD Teacher III Agusan Elementary School
IN response to the sudden transition, many teachers have moved their existing course materials online, provided live or recorded versions of their classroom lectures and employed a social networking or discussion tool to enable interactions with and among students. While their efforts are to be commended, in many cases, the effectiveness of the quickly implemented online courses has been limited. Looking past the immediate crisis, there are differing scenarios for how the rapid increase in online learning may influence its future use. On the optimistic side, we may see an increased recognition of how online learnDEED OF EXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT AMONG HEIRS KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS;
ing can extend and enhance students’ education, leading to the widespread implementation of high quality online courses. Schools can then make further use of online learning to help meet social distancing requirements and provide additional learning opportunities and flexibility for their students. It involves changing the culture of the school with new types of responsibilities for teachers, students and families and new forms of interactions among them. It requires providing professional development, time and technology resources to enable teachers to optimize students’ online learning experiences. It requires that teachers become skilled.
Living in Times of Uncertainties By STEPHEN F. HONCULADA
The global pandemic has brought the world worries and tension on how to deal with the future. With the many restrictions and strict quarantine protocols and healthcare issues, the world seem to be uncertain-wondering what the future holds for the younger generations. How to live the future? Younger ones could have thought that the world has been harsh and unpromising. The children could have thought that the world has been selfish to not share its beauty by restricting travels and transportations from one place to another-which seems to be quite obvious. The world has been divided, with it disallowing one family member who works abroad from coming home to his loved ones. The pandemic has divided the world, countries, people, families and friends but everything is just temporary. Sooner or later, if people would just follow the rules, if people would just obey the government, if people would not complicate simple health care tips, then everything would eventually fall into place. Families will then be reunited. The world will smile again and bring a brighter and a more promising era will rise. The Role of Parents under the “New Normal” of Schooling With the presence of the
global pandemic because of COVID-19, educating the younger generation seems to be a complicated dish. It entails hardwork, patience,money, perseverance and a lot of parental support. The role of parents under the “new normal” is a lot complicated, it brings the parents back to the basic and old times-that time when the parents specifically the mother is the first teacher of the child. Nowadays, schoolaged children are not allowed to go out of the house and go to school,thus, this poses a very challenging role for the parents to guide their children to learn in spite the pandemic. Even with the aid of technology and with the teachers keeping open lines for communication, delivering the instruction is still far from the normal face-to-face instruction. The parents take the greater role. This scenario may be challenging and hard because both parents nowadays are working for a living. But looking at the brighter side of it, parents could really make their children feel that they are loved and that they are important by teaching their children and not by merely giving the children the answers to the questions right away. In this manner, the kids would also realize the importance of patience and the value of honesty.

LFS survey, Apura said. She said the LFS is a nationwide survey of households to gather data on the population’s demographic and socio-economic characteristics. It aims to provide high-frequency statistical information on the Philippine labor market to better understand the current employment situation and the country’s economy during the unprecedented coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic, she added. “In line with this, the PSA encourages everyone, especially the sample households, to support and cooperate in the conduct of the monthly LFS,” Apura said.

While some Filipinos could afford getting treated for Covid-19, he pointed out that there were many who could barely pay for hospital expenses. “Mabuti nalang yung tinamaan na meron talagang resources, pero yung wala ang nakakaawa (Good thing is that those who get infected have resources, but those who don’t have resources are really pitiful). For the sake of humanity, yung kapwa mo tao (your fellow citizens), kindly obey the protocols,” he said. He also admitted that he could not impose “draconian measures” such as preventing everyone from leaving their homes since it would have a severe impact to the economy unless there is a plague. “When people are dying on the streets then maybe I can use the draconian measures of telling everybody to stay put inside their houses. Ang problema is how to sustain yung mga wala. Yung isang kahig isang tuka (The problem is how to sustain for those who have nothing, those who get by with what they have on a daily basis).

The event, likewise, expressed support to local government units’ (LGUs) initiatives, and at the same time, advocate other government campaigns and programs such as the Department of Health’s (DOH) “BIDA Solusyon Campaign” and the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) “Listahanan.” “This is the third leg of our regional roadshow for Explain, Explain, Explain for Region 7, one of the priority areas of President Rodrigo Duterte the Vaccine Czar Secretary [Carlito] Galvez, and Senate Committee on Health Chair Senator Bong Go para sa COVID-19 vaccination,” PIA Director-General Ramon L. Cualoping III said, for his part. “Our role in the Philippine Information Agency is to help increase the acceptance level sa vaccines, sa public uptake, dahil may research ang UP Octa na nasa 24 percent lang ang acceptance level for COVID-19 vaccines,” he added. The UP Octa is a team of independent and interdisciplinary research group composed primarily of University of the Philippines faculty members and alumni. Cualoping said it’s the government’s goal to achieve “herd immunity” of when a sufficient number of people in the community is immune to an infectious disease such as COVID-19, adding the valuable role of mass vaccination as it also protects others who have not been vaccinated, including those with very weak immune systems. “In the next few weeks, or in the next few months, we will join the DOH in helping the people understand the benefits of the vaccines. Our main goal here is to have herd immunity, and we wouldn’t be able achieve this if we only vaccinated less than 70 percent of the population,” he said. “But we have to make it clear that having the vaccine is not a 100 percent solution to prevent COVID-19, or that we won’t get infected. The vaccine, however, would help tame the virus,” he added. “If initially you have a high
risk or you are pre-disposed to be admitted to the ICU [intensive care unit], to be intubated, or have a severe infection, if you have the vaccine, you gain higher resistance against the virus,” Cualoping furthered. Joining them in the event were Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV) Assistant Secretary Jonji S. Gonzales, DSWD Director Irene B. Dumlao, Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo, DOH-7 Regional Director Dr. Jaime S. Bernadas and DOH-7 Chief Pathologist Dr. Mary Jean Loreche.

With this sudden shift away from the classroom in many parts of the globe, some are wondering whether the adoption of online learning will continue to persist post-pandemic, and how such a shift would impact the worldwide education market. The novel coronavirus has instantly changed the way education is delivered, given that school and home have now become the same place due to the necessary regulations put into effect. What kind of support will be provided, for example, to thousands of single Filipino mothers who rely on schools because they have to work and their employers do not allow them to work from home?

January 11, 2021, Manila, Philippines - Panasonic Manufacturing Philippines Corporation (PMPC) announced today a new breakthrough confirming that the inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) by the Panasonic Air Conditioner with nanoe™ X Technology was certified by Texcell*1, a global contract research organisation. Texcell verified 91.4% of the inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus in the space of 6.7m3 in 8 hours. In September 2020, Panasonic has verified, in collaboration with Texcell, the inhibitory effect of the nanoe™ X Technology with the benefits of hydroxyl radicals on the novel coronavirus in a small test space of 45L using the nanoe™ X generator. For further investigation, Panasonic challenged to test using the air conditioner with nanoe™ X in a larger test space. Even with the more challenging test parameters, Texcell has now certified that the Panasonic Air Conditioner with nanoe™ X Technology has 91.4% inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus in the actual space of 6.7m3 in 8 hours. This testing was carried out in a closed laboratory environment and was not designed to assess its efficacy in uncontrolled living spaces. About nanoe™ X Technology nanoe™ X is a technology unique to Panasonic that collects invisible moisture in the air and applies a high voltage to it to produce “hydroxyl radicals contained in water”. Hydroxyl radicals inhibit the growth of pollutants such as bacteria and viruses. They are characterised by being strongly oxidative and highly reactive, but normally have a short life span. Contained in tiny water particles, nanoe™ X has a long lifespan and can spread over long distances. It has an inhibitory effect on both airborne and adhered substances. Safer spaces are a must With the threat of the novel coronavirus continuously looming and with vaccines not yet massively distributed or administered locally, Filipinos continue to struggle with safer breathing spaces and to ensure healthier home and work environments for loved ones and colleagues. With this study update, one thing is assured: Filipinos can get 24-hour cleaner and safer air indoors, with the presence of Panasonic Air Conditioners in homes, schools, offices, and businesses. In fact, in 24 hours, Panasonic Air Conditioners with nanoe™ X Technology have an inhibition rate of 99.7% on the novel coronavirus, also tested in a 6.7m3 space. Apart from its Split-type Air Conditioners with nanoe™ X Technology, Panasonic also offers a portable solution for the Filipino consumers, the Portable nanoe™ X Generator. The small device is also equipped with nanoe™ X Technology that’s proven to inhibit harmful air pollutants and viruses. The plight for A Better Life, A Better World continues Panasonic has been researching on nanoeTM Technology over the past 20 years since 1997 and has verified its effectiveness in a variety of areas, including inhibiting pathogenic microorganism (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) and allergens, breaking down PM 2.5 components that have adverse effects on the human body*2. Panasonic will continue to pursue the potential of nanoe™ X Technology to address possible risks associated with air pollution such as new pathogenic microorganisms, to create healthy environments and A Better Life, A Better World for people around the world. For reference: Testing the inhibitory effect of air conditioner with nanoe™ X on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in a space of 6.7m3. Overview A comparative verification was conducted in a space of 6.7m3 containing the novel coronavirus. (SARS-CoV-2) Results Over 91% of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) activity was inhibited within 8 hours. Note: This verification was designed to generate basic research data on the effects of nanoe™ X on the novel coronavirus in laboratory conditions different from those found in living spaces. Methodology and data Organisation : Texcell (France) Subject : Novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 Device: Air conditioner with nanoe™ X Method The air conditioner with nanoe™ X was installed in a space of 6.7m3. Gauze saturated with SARS-CoV-2 virus solution was exposed to an air conditioner with nanoe™ X from a distance of 0.7m in a 6.7m3 room for 24 hours. The virus infectious titre was measured and used to calculate the inhibition rate. Test result

For his part, MGen Gonzales expressed his gratitude to the President and vowed to continue the JTF-Sulu’s mandate in pursuit of peace in the region. “This recognition inspires us to remain steadfast in our mission to eliminate the ASG and clear the path toward peace and development here in Sulu. More than this, the President’s assurance of support really uplifts the morale of our troops, who bravely risk their lives every day to protect our nation and fellowmen. We are very privileged that this is the first official visit of the president to a military unit,” said MGen Gonzales. The Order of Lapu-Lapu is usually given to government officials/personnel and private individuals in recognition of their exemplary service in significantly advancing the campaign of the president. Aside from the award, President Duterte also gave a check that was received by CSAFP Gen Gilbert Gapay in support of the military’s offensive operations against the ASG in Sulu.

ilang concern,” she stressed. RTA personnel are deputized to issue Ordinance Violation Receipts (OVR) for non-compliance with basic minimum health standards, The Gavel learned. If the OVR cannot be issued, the RTA could at least educate the public who are not wearing face mask and face shield, and maintaining physical distancing, Gaane cited. TRAINING Burlagdatan informed the legislative body that part of the programs of RTA is physical fitness training among personnel. Councilor Gaane suggested that aside from physical training, traffic enforcers should also undergo disciplinary training to
improve job performance. “We need disciplinary training kay naa man gyu’y uban enforcer medyo arogante. It’s not general pero naa gyud ingana kay siguro tungod sa power nga mo-apprehend,” she opined. (SP/ JBDacer)

Representives representing the second district of Misamis Oriental; and mayor Jennie Uy-Mendez herself. Advocacy She said the idea of constructing a hospital in the town was conceptualized in 2014, at a time when she was working as congressional staff of her mother. “It was the time when everything was just our advocacy and now we will soon hold the groundbreaking. The fulfillment of our or our dream” she added. “Sa una, sa among nakita kulang gyud kaayo ang support sa atong healthcare especially ob public health,” said Mendez. She emphasized: “Kining sa hospital, dili man gud ni siya bounded by any territorial or jurisdiction, its a universal need.” Mendez said the hospital will be constructed under the funding of the Department of Health (DOH). It will be a 4-5 storey public hospital,said the mayor adding,”kani nga project dako kaayo ug ikatabang sa mga tawo.” “Si mama, morag batang gamay nga mihilak sa kalipay nga ma put-up na gayud ang Mindanao District sa Villanueva,” said Mendez. She emphasized that the hospital ws not constructed to compete with other public hospitals and to decongest the already crowded Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC), also known as provincial hospital. Likewise, Mendez thanked her parents for inspiring her “because they seek to improve the quality of life of people through education, health, eave and order, employment, livelihood, and housing. House Bill 3462 Rep. Uy filed House Bill 3462 at the House of Representatives. Uy said HB 3462 seeks to establish the Northern Mindanao District Hospital of Villanueva, which will be under the supervision of the Department of Health (DOH). In her explanatory note, Uy said that the town of Villanueva is
widely consideredas the growing industrial hub in the province of Misamis Oriental. Not only in Misamis Oriental, she pointed out, but even in Northern Mindanao as it has 16 medium to large scale industries. With its growing local economy and the influx of industrial plants, Uy said there is a steady increase in the population of Villanueva. “In line with this, there is a need to establish a hospital in the area to ensure that the population is given adequate health care in the quickest possible time especially during emergencies,” said the lady lawmaker adding, “this is essential considering that Villanueva is 26 kilometers away from Cagayan de Oro City where the nearest hospitals are located.”

Security issues posed by radical armed groups prevent freedom of travel for BTA officials to perform their tasks, The constraints of time are simply unsurmountable” Furthermore, he said the allotted transition period could not possibly establish “a new political culture within the Bangsamoro that would be ruled by the principle of transparency, accountability and efficiency-which is the professed intent of the Bangsamoro leadership:” In a statement released by the Save Sulu Movement (SSM) based in Suu province ,said it recognizes that three years is insufficient “to implement institutional reforms that will truly weed out systematic problems of corruption, injustice and grinding poverty that plagued the Bangsamoro homeland” SSM also called upon its Tausugs to “raly behind the vision to install and implement moral governance in Sulu.” EXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That the late MICHAEL HERMAN CALIMBAS who died 23 October 2020 and at the time of his death was residing at #1 Blue Jay Street, Belisario Heights, Lanang Davao City, Philippines, That MICHAEL HERMAN CALIMBAS died intestate, without Will or Testament and there are no known debts in favor of any person or entity at the time of the execution of this instrument; that the deceased left a parcel of land with Transfer Certificate of Title No. 146-2015000353 situated in the Barrio of Indangan, City of Davao containing an area of SEVENTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE (17, 299) SQUARE METERS, Transfer Certificate of Title No. 142-20200008328 situated in Limao, Island Garden City of samai, Davao del Norte, containing an area of TWO HUNDRED FOURTEEN (214) SQUARE METERS, more or less, Land Transportation Office Certificate of Registration No. 14533978, Make: Hyundai, Series: Elantra CVVT 1, Engine No. G4fgbu268029, Chassis No. KMHDG41CBCU204779, Plate No. LHB325, Body Type: Sedan, Land Transportation Office Certificate of Registration No. 214235932, Make: Chevrolet, Series: Colorado, Engine No. BG1 G132431111, Chassis No. *MMM148MK0EH600428, Plate No. 130110, Body Type: Pick Up, A sole proprietorship, Center for Alternative Medicine, with Total Assets and net worth of 1,967,814.59 and 1,012,752.78, respectively as reflected in its Audited Financial Statement as of 31 December 2019 and has been the subject of an EXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE, filed by the heirs of MICHAEL HERMAN CALIMBAS, per DOC #246; PAGE #57; BOOK #I; Series of 2020 under the Notarial Registry of ATTY.
