Killer mosquitoes kill 16 in 6 months TWO municipalities in South Cotabato province are planning to declare a state of calamity due to the rising cases of the deadly dengue fever these past months. Dr. Rogelio Aturdido Jr., head of the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO), said Tuesday the municipal councils of Surallah and

Tantangan are currently studying the move based on recommendations from their health offices. He said Surallah and Tantangan posted the second and third highest incidence of dengue among the province’s 10 towns and lone city from January to June this year. As of June 29, the IPHO’s epide-

miology and surveillance unit already recorded a total of 2,766 dengue cases and 16 confirmed deaths within the province. Such figure is about 128.4 percent higher when compared to the 1,200 cases reported in the same period last year. See KILLER, page 11

Duterte allies no common candidate for House Speaker By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV MindaNews

DAVAO City--Allies of President Rodrigo R. Duterte who are eyeing the speakership of the House of Representatives failed to agree on a common candidate for the post in a meeting last Saturday here with Davao City 2nd District Rep. Paolo Duterte and Mayor Sara Duterte, Davao City 2nd District Representative Mylene Garcia-Albano, the spokesperson for the Duterte Alliance, said. Garcia-Albano said in an interview that Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez, Marinduque Rep. Lord Velasco and Taguig 1st district Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano had not made it clear if they would join the alliance and support the bid of Davao City

3rd District Rep. Isidro Ungab for the speakership. Ungab was was the candidate endorsed earlier by the alliance for the House’s top post. Garcia-Albano said the other contenders had maintained that they would be gunning for the speakership despite the position of the alliance against the termsharing agreement. “We are hoping that it was the start of the process to unify (the House of Representatives). We are hopeful indeed that it would be part of the process arriving at a consensus that can help to select the Speaker,” she said. She said she was unsure if they will be meeting again but added several meetings will be taking place in the coming days See ALLIES, page 11

Gov’t soldiers help rebuild classroom for kinder in Butig By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

BUTIG, Lanao del Sur--Soldiers of the Army’s 49th Infantry Battalion have inaugurated on Monday morning (July 8), a classroom for more than 40 kindergarten children, aged 4 years old, of an elementary school in Barangay Ragayan, here. This after finding out that around 40 children, aged 4 to 5 years old, are squatting on the

floor as they hold their classes since the start of school year 2018-2019 in June. Built during Brigada Eskwela in May, the makeshift temporary learning space (TLS) has only roof to shed the children from the heat of the sun and from the rain, no walls, no kiddie tables, just few pieces of wooden long chairs voluntarily made by Wahab Macabayao, a husband See KINDER, page 11

Misor tourism officer explains cash advances

LAWYER Jeffrey Saclot, head of the Provincial Tourism Office of the Misamis Oriental Capitol, on Monday admitted there were cash advances drawn in his name, but transactions underwent strict policy of the Provincial Accounting Office. “In the interest of transparency, it is true that cash advances were drawn in my name last year. This is because of the series of events and activities we carried out, to fulfil the mandate of the Provincial Tourism Office, in line with the flagship program of Gov. Bambi Emano, including the 19th ATOP National Convention. But, with the strict policy of our Provincial Accounting Office,” Saclot said. He explained a subsequent cash advance “cannot be made if the previous one is not liquidated.” “Hence, my individual cash advance was See TOURISM, page 10

The recently crowned Slauson was a vision among the attendees of the prestigious event in her Ifugao Doll Dress, made and designed by Philippine award-winning designer, Tracy Dizon. “I’ve admired Ms. Tracy’s collection since its debut and it’s such an honor to have

worn one of her pieces to the Philippine Independence Day Council’s Gala Ball. It was truly an honor to wear Ms. Tracy’s Ifugao dress because it wasn’t only cute and comfortable, it was also a great way to popularize and modernize the Filipiniana,” said Slauson. “I realized that as the Diwa ng Kalayaan, I would like to promote Philippine heritage among my fellow young Filipinos. I am only 16 years old and sometimes doing something traditional can make me feel a little out of place. But our traditions

doesn’t have to stay in the past as there are so many ways to incorporate them in our lives. I wanted to represent that during the ball with Ms. Dizon’s piece,” she added. The 16-year-old Slauson was crowned as Diwa ng Kalayaan last May 2019 as part yearly gala commemorating of the Philippine Independence in the East Tri-State Area.

Pompee says he will win in 2022 Mayoral election

THEY said that “it is sweeter the next time around.” Defeated Mayoral candidate Gabriel “Pompee” La Viña is an individual with the qualities of a man who could convert defeat to victory. For “Pompee,” defeat is the pathway to victory. Like a battle-scarred warrior who survived the humiliation of defeat, “Pompee” sees the experience as a process to rectify mistakes. Losing in the midterm mayoral election this year, provides “Pompee” the moment to retrospect. In fact, “Pompee” sees more time to weigh the options to be able to succeed whenever another political encounter takes place in the near future. Talking to the members of the press, Pompee

displayed an extraordinary courage when he announced that he would run for the mayoral post in the 2022 elections. “Running for the mayoral post was an option,” Pompee said. While admitting that although a native Cagayanon, he is not pretty known to the local residents, it was the lack of time that led to his defeat. “In spite of being unknown in the political arena, getting more than 90,000 votes was an indication that there was a wider chance of winning had time was on my side,” Pompee said. Given enough time, winning the 2022 Mayoral contest w0uld be attainable, Pompee said. Pompee still wants to run under the Padayon Pilipino political party. Pompee is

not bothered by the reports that Provincial Governor Bambi Emano is considering to run for Mayor in Cagayan De Oro in 2022. “One thing is sure, Bambi and I would never part ways,” Pompee said. Pompee just want to run for Mayor to continue his mission to serve the Cagayanons. However, if Bambi runs for the mayoral post, Pompee is willing to adopt “a number of political options.” On Monday, however, Gov. Bambi Emano announced of his full support to Pompee’s mayoral bid. “I will throw my full support to Pompee’s mayoral bid if he decides to run for Mayor in Cagayan De Oro City in 2022,” Emano said during a weekly meeting with the

Cris Diaz

local press. Bambi’s announcement was in contrast to his earlier announcement that he would run for Mayor in Cagayan De Oro City. Many, however, believed that Bambi and Pompee’s pronouncements were strong messages that the Padayon Pilipino, the regional political party that Bambi now heads, is fielding a complete set of candidates in the local polls three years from now. On the other hand, political observers agreed on a consensus that the Padayon Pilipino political party needs an overhaul.

An encounter written in the stars

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh…” (Genesis 2:24, the Holy Bible). -oooAN ENCOUNTER WRITTEN IN THE STARS: It was, by all indications, an encounter written in the stars. The man, in 1956, was then working as a clerk-typist at a law firm in Sampaloc, Manila. He was 22 years of age, was still unmarried, and was carefree and enjoying his bachelorhood. He had, in fact, just come from the province, trying to find his destiny in the city with his knowledge of typing and a little stenography. The young lady was just starting to bloom into full

womanhood at 20 years of age, even as she was about to graduate from a normal school in Manila, clinching a degree in elementary education in the process. She has barely left her childlike demeanor, cloistered and sheltered as she was by her close relatives from the North, but this did not prevent her from venting her displeasure over the loud talking that a man and a fellow passenger was making in the bus she had taken to bring her home in the house of her parents in Quezon City that fateful day. “Your voices are way too loud,” the young lady told the man who was then sitting at the seat directly at her back. When she said

this, she tried to glance at the man, and she saw that he was wearing a white long-sleeves polo, white slacks, and white shoes. He was talking to the man seated next to him, in her own dialect which was the language of her people from the North, the Ilocano dialect. -oooSTORIES OF YOUNG LOVE IN A PASSENGER BUS: “It seems to me you are also Ilocanos, so why are you talking so loud?” the lady asked in Ilocano, directly addressing the man who, she thought then, could have been someone who was modeling a white attire. At that point, the man apologized, in Ilocano too, to the young woman. He

then hurried to explain, rather sheepishly, that he and his friend were talking in loud voices because they wanted precisely to grab her attention. When she heard what the man said, the young lady blushed, telling him and his friend that what they were doing was distracting her attempt to study while she was travelling in the bus. She said she had to study even while she was on board the bus because she was then preparing for her final exams before her graduation ceremonies. The man again offered his See WRITTEN, page 11

Think A Minute

The magic is in the mix

THINK a minute. A little boy named John was watching his mother bake a cake. She put all the ingredients on the table: flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, eggs and vanilla. When his mother was not looking, little John sneaked a taste of each ingredient. But they tasted bad by themselves! Then he watched his mother mix all the ingredients together and into the oven to bake. That night after John enjoyed two big pieces of the cake, he said: “Wow! How can mixing all those BADtasting things make such a GOOD cake?” His mother smiled and answered: “The magic is in the mix!” Sooner or later bad things happen to all of us. Maybe

you did not get that job or promotion you deserved, or someone in your family suddenly became seriously sick or was terribly injured in an accident. The fact is life is a series of problems. But quite often, “Trouble can be the first path to truth.” In fact, our problems can give us our most valuable and treasured lessons for life. So “don’t give up, simply grow up.” But it takes a truly teachable, humble, and strong person to suffer wisely. Everybody suffers, but not everybody grows better from it! We need to learn how to profit from our pain, and understand that there is a purpose behind every problem and a kind

of “magic in the mix.” Each day of our life is a training course on successful living and how to become a better person. If you give God control of your life, you cannot lose! No matter what happens to you, His inner peace and power enables you to grow stronger and wiser from everything life throws at you. So you actually learn how to “suffer successfully.” We face challenges every day in the classroom of our life, with the greatest Teacher in the world. But usually “We humans don’t know God is all we need until He’s all we’ve got.” He is the only One Who can masterfully mix all of your life’s experiences to-

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

gether to produce a truly successful and satisfying life. Since you were created an eternal soul and person, you have to live with yourself forever, long after your short life here is over. But you must first put your life in God’s hands and control every day, before He can start blending together everything in your life for your good and lasting happiness. Won’t you ask Him right now to take full charge and get started? Just think a minute.

Pinoys in US urged: Help stop funds flow to CPP-NPA By ROM DULFO PNA

WISCONSIN — Indigenous people’s (IP) leaders on Sunday appealed to the Filipino community here to be vigilant in giving support to organizations asking for financial assistance, saying these might be channeled to groups affiliated with the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF). “They have campaigns of adoption of schools, adoption of students, adoption of alleged teachers, but the CPP-NPA-NDF imposes a policy on these organizations, where 60 percent of funds goes to them,” Datu Jacob Lanes said in an interview. Lanes, of the Mandaya tribe from Davao City, said the CPP-NPA-NDF has built its networks across the world while fostering a strategy that includes armed struggle and the use of progressive fronts. “The Filipino community, especially in the United States and Europe, should be vigilant so that they will not fall to the deception of the CPP using their different organizations,” Lanes added. Stopping the channeling of funds to the Reds’ front groups, Lanes said, would constrain the capacity of the their armed wing to operate and frustrate their ability to launch attacks. Hypocrisy Datu Ramon Bayaan, on the other hand, said communist insurgents have been deceiving IP communities, bringing them to rallies that go as far as Manila. “Itong problema na-

min, malaki ang koneksyon sa US. Mag rally ang mga komunistang terorista sa Manila, sa Davao, unsa ilang gi-singgit? Ibagsak ang US, ibagsak ang imperyalismo (Our problem has a huge connection here in the US. The communist terrorists would rally in Manila, in Davao, what do they shout? Bring down US, bring down imperialism),” he said. Bayaan, however, said he wondered why amid their call to oppose the US and bring down capitalism and imperialism, they would still ask financial aid from organizations in the US. “Sa madaling salita, nagilad gyud sila. Kay dili sila gusto sa gobyerno sa US, pero nangayo sila ug suporta gikan sa mga organisasyon sa US (In other words, they deceive us. Because they don’t want the US government, but they ask support from organizations in the US),” added Bayaan, tribal

leader of the Obu-Manuvu tribe. Lanes and Bayaan were among the eight tribal leaders who paid a visit to the Filipino community here to help disseminate their stories in America — how communist terrorists try to control and manage their ancestral domains, killing tribal chieftains who would go against them in the process. Emotional persuasion Jocelyn Agoncillo Ramos, executive director of the Philippine Cultural and Civic Center Foundation, Inc., said the communist terrorists have been “utilizing emotions” to rally the Filipino community to believe in their narrative. “It’s always the sad story that they’ll use, they will use issues on women, labor, and when you empathize with them, then you help them,” she said. The groups, she said, sow

anguish among overseas Filipinos through painting a climate of fear in the Philippines, so they would be convinced to donate money that would supposedly go to disadvantaged sectors back home. ‘Educate yourselves’ Meanwhile, clinic administrator Erlinda Ramos said she has been receiving e-mails from international groups asking donations to help vulnerable sectors in the Philippines. “These groups appeal to you, like ‘join us,’ or ‘we need your support.’ Well, you need to find out where they are based, where your money is going, what it’s for,” she said. “The bottomline is, if you’re going to give help to somebody, make sure you know, you research where your money is going to go. You have to know,” she added. In March, the European See FUNDS, page 10

Each piece is imbued with contemporary aesthetics to create a modern-day “Maria Clara” look. “Having to dress Sarah was a pleasure. She’s an intelligent young woman and her advocacy is close to the very message of my collection. It was like a perfect match!” Dizon said. “I made this collection with a big heart of sharing my beautiful culture in the form of fashion. I want to share the undeniably showstopping beauty of the Philippines. More often than not, Filipiniana Clothing would often feel too traditional and old that the younger generation may feel disjointed with the culture. I would like to exhibit a fresh creative perspective to the Filipiniana Clothing that hopefully, someday soon wearing Filipiniana would not be just limited to formal occasions and national holidays,” she added. Dizon is a fashion designer in her own namesake and the milliner of the millinery fashion brand, Tiara by Tracy Dizon established in the Philippines. The designer has worked with local and international celebrities alike and is now based in New York City. Dizon and Slauson’s endeavours together doesn’t seem to stop here as the two have posted photos of them working together. Perhaps, there’s more to come between these two tiara holders. On her end, Slauson has expressed that she has plans to join similar events in the future and is in continuous pursuit to become a runway model. She’s hoping to be able to join bigger pageants, including Miss Teen Philippines.

Xavier Ateneo formator named regional winner of ‘Gawad Geny Lopez Jr Bayaning Pilipino Award’ XAVIER Ateneo formator Jerome “Jett” Torres was named Regional Winner in the 15th Gawad Geny Lopez Jr Bayaning Pilipino Awards, held at ABS-CBN Cebu City on June 1. Torres has been previously nominated for his advocacy and service to the XU Night School under the individual category. The XU Night School saw 18 of its 24 learners (75%) pass the Department of Education’s (DepEd) Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test — four from the elementary level and 14 from the secondary level. While they will not be offering elementary classes this year, eligible learners are still able to enroll for secondary classes. Torres is one of the people behind the story of perseverance of one of the A&E Elementary Level passers, Ronnel Maghilom, who plans to continue pursuing the succeeding levels. Together with the learners of Batch 4, Maghilom is currently studying secondary-level Filipino, Culture and the Arts, Science, English,

and Math (beginning with Basic Algebra) in preparation for the next A&E test. After finishing his studies, he plans to pursue a career as a seaman or businessman. Torres also shares that the main objective is to focus on the learners’ personal development. He cites his former student BS Development Communication graduate Rusty Quintana as an example. Quintana was an Alternative Learning System (ALS) passer who struggled at the beginning of his formal education. This sparked the need to change the narrative — if they were going to hone the learners’ academic capabilities, they should follow a more holistic approach. In addition to the cognitive exercises, the students are also inclined to participate in sports and other activities such as theatre and musical performances. By tapping into their talents and showcasing their creativity, the learners are gradually increasing their confidence and self-esteem levels. As a result, they grow to become more appreciative of the value

of education. They are being prepared for formal schooling. At present, an ALS passer is admitted as a freshman in the BS Biology program of Xavier University. Though Torres envisions more passers to enroll, they are still bound by DepED’s schedule in releasing results. Consequently, they are left to wait for the incoming semesters before applying for scholarships. Torres suggests that the city government and other scholarship offices allot slots for ALS so that they can receive an equal opportunity at education. He also invites the community to contribute to the advocacy and upholding the principle of serving “the least, the lost, and the last.” Torres was one of the five national finalists from a pool of 40 nominees nationwide. The Gawad Geny Lopez Jr Bayaning Pilipino Award annually recognizes modern-day Filipino heroes who exemplify Filipino values in pursuit of public service.

Kong Hua School ’94 giving back where it matters MANGROVE forests are highly diverse coastal ecosystems that play a crucial role as a nursery for marine life, thus ensuring bountiful fishing in the future. Mangrove forests are vital breeding grounds for marine life, nesting sites for birds and habitats for insects. Mangroves also afford protection for coral and prevent coastal erosion. It is in this premise that Kong Hua School ’94 conducted a mangrove planting activity last Sunday (July 7, 2019) at Baybay, Alubijid, Misamis Oriental. The activity, headed by their president and environmentalist Althea Lim, was a resounding success. “We are proud to be able to do this, to give back where it counts,” Lim said. There was a raffle of tickets as part of their first activity after the mangrove planting as fund raising for the Kong Hua School annual grand alumni homecoming this November 30, 2019 at Limketkai Atrium. Kong Hua School ’94 will be the host batch of the event. mark francisco

Davao’s Kadayawan Festival 2019 opens By CHE PALICTE PNA

DAVAO CITY -- Mayor Sara Z. Duterte led the media launching of the 34th Kadayawan Festival here Monday. In her speech, Mayor Sara said she hopes the annual celebration would give Dabawenyos the opportunity to appreciate and celebrate the blessings poured out to the city. “We celebrate it annually not just to give Dabawenyos a reason to celebrate; we do it so we do not forget where we come from and what blessings we have received through the years, blessings which we continue to receive today,” the mayor said. She described the festival as a “coming together” of the community to show gratitude the local indigenous peoples have helped shaped the history of the city. HONORING THE TRIBES.

DPWH set to turnover Davao City’s first evacuation center DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)11 will hand over to the city government the first evacuation center located in Barangay Los Amigos, Tugbok District here next month. In an interview on Sunday morning, Dean Ortiz, DPWH-11 spokesperson, said the project cost is about PHP34 billion and was funded by the DPWH but the site is owned by the city government. “We are just doing a final inspection and finishing touches of the facility then, later on, we can turn it over to the city government,” Ortiz said. He added that the facility can cater to about 130 families. Aside from the facility here, Ortiz disclosed that DPWH had constructed

seven evacuation centers around Davao Region. These are located in Cateel, Tarragona and Lupon in Davao Oriental, Nabunturan in Compostela Valley, Tagum City in Davao del Norte, Digos City in Davao del Sur and Malita in Davao Occidental. City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRMO) head Alfredo Baloran said the evacuation center in this city will be used as temporary shelter for victims of calamities. “It is complete with amenities that will help alleviate their condition while away from their homes,” he added. Baloran said there will be two more evacuation centers to be constructed in the city — in districts 1 and 2. “For now, we are looking at Mahayag in District 2 while we are still identifying the location for District 1,” he added.

DAVAO CITY -- Infrastructure development is a crucial component of social protection intervention particularly the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Undersecretary Luz Ilagan shared this findings during the recently held Mindanao-Visayas Feedback Forum on the United Nations Commission on Status of Women held at the Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU). She referred this as one of the concerns that emerged in the session among women

who attended the Bangkok Conference on Women, that was relayed during the March conference of the UN Conference on the Status of Women (UNCSW63 in New York. “Kasi lumabas sa sharing (It came out during the sharing) of other countries that no matter how good the social protection is, if we do not have the infrastructure to support the program, to support the providers of the benefits, ma-failure din siya (it would still be a failure),” she said. Citing as specific instance the 4Ps beneficiaries who, she noted, would not

across the globe to come and visit the city this August to witness the highlights, the sights, and flavors of Kadayawan in Davao,” she said. Mayor Sara also called on Dabawenyos -- IPs, Muslims and Christians -- to go out and not just enjoy the festivities but to use Kadayawan as an opportunity to “continue to learn about one another and the uniqueness of each culture.” On the other hand, Gene Rose Tecson, City Tourism Operations Office (CTOO) chief, said the 2019 Kadayawan budget is estimated to reach up to PHP70 million -- most of it coming from private sector partners. “But we are still hoping for more [sponsorship] since we are increasing our prizes to the various competitions,” Tecson added. She said the city expects See KADAYAWAN, page 10

Rights of women workers pushed in construction sector DAVAO CITY -- Women leaders are pushing for rights of women workers in the construction sector. They’re calling on private firms and concerned agencies to provide women with separate facilities for women and to absorb more women in the construction industry workforce. In the recently held Mindanao-Visayas Feedback Forum on the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW63) held at the Ateneo de Davao University, 47year old Merlita Colegado, resident of Barangay 15-B, Davao City recalled that she experienced discrimination when she first applied as heavy equipment operator and as wielder. And when she landed on such jobs, she felt the discomfort of having no separate facilities for women, leaving her with no choice but to bathe in

Infra dev’t crucial to 4Ps be able to line up during cash-out schedules if there would be no good roads and transportation means to take them to town centers where 4Ps cash grants are usually handed out by DSWD with the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP). She also cited instances where presence of Land Bank and other support agencies are needed in isolated far-flung areas. In these cases, she noted that roads and bridges are crucial to the status of accessibility to the area where 4Ps beneficiaries converge expecting their cash grants. See INFRA, page 10

open spaces at the sight of fellow male workers. She also would have to sleep at the same quarters with male co-workers especially when assigned at construction sites far from her home. “Basta magtrabaho ko sa layo nga wala miy katulgan, mahuna huan pud nako nga ang akong kahimtang naa jud sa peligro kay tungod mga lalake ang akong mga kauban. (Working far from home with no quarters to sleep overnight, I am thinking of myself in a risky situation because I am sleeping with men co-workers.),” she said. In an interview, Philippine Commission on Women (PWC) Gender and Development (GAD) Resource Pool member Rosena Sanchez viewed as a challenge for the government to integrate the policy on gender in implementing infrastructure projects. However, she had high

hopes that GAD would be fully integrated in the Build, Build, Build Program of the national government using the Harmonize Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) known as the “HAGADAGA” tools. “One of the elements of the HAGADA is for infra projects especially of the government to hire women in construction. We all know that TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Administration) has trained a lot of women in wielding, tile setting, driving, electrical work; they should be hired as part of the workforce for construction,” she said. She suggested officials of Department of Works and Highways (DPWH) “to really study the tool and ask for assistance from the PCW on how to apply the tool” and she urged them “to commit themselves to start hiring women in con-

struction”. On the other hand, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Undersecretary Luz Ilagan challenged women in the construction sector to assert their rights especially if they possess the necessary required of the construction jobs they are applying. Ilagan also pointed out the need to change the mindset of construction industry employers and concerned agencies to check discrimination, and for them to look at the capacities of women to handle construction work. “ T h i s c a n on l y b e changed if we provide the education and information not only to employers, but also to women. They can assert especially if they possess the ability. They can claim that they have the same capacity with men, why would they not be given See WORKERS, page 10

some 250,000 tourists this year, an increase of some 50,000 compared last year. “That is why we spread the activities to all weekends of August. If we put all the activities in just one week, we might have a shortage in our accommodations,” she explained. As the main highlights for Kadayawan, Tecson thanked the 11 tribes of Davao for their continued support to the city and the community. This year, she said, the Kadayawan will focus on the “Bantawan” or cultural shows featuring the traditions and dances of the 11 tribes while “Dula Kadayawan” will showcase tribal games. Meanwhile, Col. Alexander Tagum, Davao City Police Office (DCPO) director, said that after a meeting among security agencies they have decided to increase security deployment during the festival. “It means more security personnel will be manning strategic points and public convergence areas during the event to ensure the safety of the Dabawenyos and visitors,” Tagum said.

“Social protection with the policy intentions, goals in place, should be assisted also by infrastructure; Dapat matutukan para ma-access (there has to be focus on this to access) and it is not only access but also accessibility,” she told participants to the feedback conference done to keep the women in the Visayas and Mindanao abreast of the issues and concerns raised, and commitments made by the Philippine delegation to the New York UN Conference on the Status of Women. Ilagan was also concerned about DSWD service providers sent to far-flung and isolated areas who have to ride on a single motor called “habal-habal”. Aside from facing possibilities of road accidents, they also are prone to threats of getting waylaid and robbed, she said. In her presentation to the plenary on Social Protection

during the New York UN CSW63, she described 4Ps as the flagship social protection intervention in the Philippines which “provides short-term income support to the poor and breaks the cycle of inter-generational poverty through investments in health and education.” Though not totally directed at women, 87% of the 4.2 million 4Ps grantees are women who are seen to substantially benefit from efforts to promote women empowerment and gender equality through the 4Ps Family Development Session, Ilagan noted. “The program’s spread to critical mass of women has a big potential for it to become a platform to reduce incidence of violence against women; present mechanisms to check the existence of gender-based violence within households,” she said in her talk during the Un CSW63.

Union vowed to investigate allegations that its assistance funds were being funneled to the CPP-NPA. The Philippine government has requested the EU to “immediately cease” its funding being channeled to groups acting as legal fronts of the CPP-NPA. Based on a report presented by the Philippine government before officials of the EU, European Parliament, and the European Commission, communist front organizations receive funds from the Belgian government and some European countries in the guise of marginalized and pro-poor programs. The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom,

Education as building blocks for human growth and development By LADY ANN L. CABAHUG, EPS II

Education is acknowledged as one of the most basic building blocks for human growth and development and in reducing poverty. It is the solution to attain goals and dreams of every individual. Education as influential driver of progress is considered as the strongest instruments to reduce poverty and improve health, under fairness, stability and peace. It is, the education, an act of progression to impart or acquire broad-spectrum knowledge, developing the supremacy of judgment and reasoning, and generally of preparing every individual intellectually to become mature enough to face whatever problems or challenges that they may encounter in their future life. Education provides revenue through which all citizens can become conscious of their privileges

and responsibilities, which is an essential instrument to achieve their goals of equality and peace. It enhances the enjoyment of all citizens if the rights to education are efficiently guaranteed. Education is fundamental to development and growth. “Learning for all “promotes the equity goals that underlie Education for all. Without confronting equity issues, it will be impossible to achieve the objective of learning for all. Achieving Learning for all will be challenging, but it is the right agenda for the next decade. It is the knowledge and skills that children and youth acquire today-not simply their school attendance that will drive their employability. Productivity, health, and well-being in the decades to come, and that will help ensure that their communities and nations thrive.

Aturdido said the increase in dengue cases this year is mainly due to the erratic weather condition brought by climate change. “This is already the trend nationwide every three years,” he said in a radio interview. The official said most of the dengue cases were recorded in populated barangays, specifically in

Poblacion as in the case of Surallah. In Tantangan, he said the most affected communities are located in barangays Poblacion, Dumadalig and San Felipe. “We requested four more affected municipalities to also work on possible calamity declarations,” he said.

Implemented by DPWH’s Flood Control Management Cluster, the P778-million flood control structure is funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). It consists of a 692-meter upstream and 1.9-kilometer downstream revetments and drainage improvement. “We would like to thank the government of Japan for their continued support in the Duterte administration’s infrastructure program that aims to provide quality and safe infrastructure facilitated to propel national economic growth,” Villar said.

Kapag umulan, ang mga nakatira sa malapit nakakauwi kaagad, ang mga nasa malayo, hihintayin kung huminto ang ulan saka sila pauwiin, pero nababasa na rin kung malakas kasi walang dingding,” said Namraida Bao, the school principal. (We put on a mat for the children to squat while having classes and some evem got asleep. When it rains we let the children who live nearby to go home. Those who are living afar will wait for the to stop but when they get home, they eventually get wet especially if it rains hard because the classroom has no walls.) In June 12, Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Allan Villanueva, commander of the Army’s 49th Infantry Battalion, have seen the situation when he visited the area. Villanueva said the residents, particularly the teachers and the parents to help them coordinate with the right agencies for the rehabilitation of the school. Aside from repairing the kindergarten classroom, the Army had also put some laminated plastic sacks (trapal) to the classrooms for grade 1 to grade 6 pupils to protect them from the heat of the sun of from the rains. The roofs has still bullet holes on it. “Tumulong kami at nacommunicate namin ang ICRC (International Committee on the Red Cross), pero dahil matagal ang proseso, nagdecide kami na temporary ayusin muna kahit papaano yong school para makapag klase sila araw-araw na hindi mauulanan o maiinitan while waiting sa complete repair ng school nila,” Villanueva said. (We help and we were able to communicate with the ICRC (International Committee on the Red Cross), but since the process is long, we decided to temporarily fix the school so that they can hold classes everyday without them getting wet from the rain and be burned by the sun.)

“Ang AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) particularly the Philippine Army ay ini-implement ‘yong AFP Campaign Plan Development Support and Security Plan (DSSP) Kapayapan, na hindi lang naka-focus (that is not only focusef ) to address yong insurgency but also in facilitating the delivery of basic services sa mga tao in coordination sa LGU (local government unit), community officials at line government agencies,” he added. Lanao del Sur District Supervisor Johaila Balt encouraged the teachers to be passionate of their work and maximize their efforts to give quality to their school children to reciprocate the effort of the soldiers who are do only stay in Butig to secure the community but also to help the Department of Education. “Let us maximize our efforts for our school children. If we are to report at 7:00 in the morning, let us come one hour before that,” Balt said in her message. There are 11 elementary and eight primary schools in the second district of Lanao del Sur that need to be rehabilitated. “My problem is... these schools are geographically far from one another and many are inaccessible to motor vehicles,” Balt said. Ragayan Elementary School was badly affected by war. Aerial bombings and ground fightings destroyed the school. One building, which has three classroom has nothing left except some posts when it was burned by either bombing or by the terrorists. “Let us pay more attention to our children because they are our future,” Butig Mayor Dimnatang Pansar said. Ragayan Elementary School had 260 pupils before the battle according to Bao and only 171 so far have come back to Butig after those families fled to different areas and did not yet come back.

week prior to the midterm election this year, the Padayon Pilipino political party has to be reinvigorated. Bambi Emano, the heir to the throne left behind by the venerable “Dongkoy” Emano, has to expedite the shakeup. The shakeup is to discover and provide opportunities for the potential leaders to actively work in order to strengthen and invigorate the morale of the party members and supporters. Bambi is aware of the arduous task. However, success in all political endeavors is not a party event. While identifying the true leaders who could deliver concrete results is difficult, it is necessary that the assigned leaders must live and break bread with the people. The assigned leader must connect with the community, otherwise, any attempt to organize and mobilize the constituents is bound to fail. -0- Email reactions/ comments: crisguardian@ yahoo.com

apologies, and then maintained his silence. When the bus reached a place in Quezon City, the woman alighted, and the man strained his neck to look at the place, which was an apartment in Project 3, Quezon City. While the young woman was going into the apartment, the man saw that she looked back to where he was, and, to his amazement, she threw a demure smile at him. The man’s heart suddenly overflowed with a joy previously unknown to him, leading him to make a vow to wait for the lady once again to board her bus for home the following day. -oooA PLEA FOR A PRAYER OR TWO FOR OUR PARENTS: The man and the young lady became good friends since. And as the days progressed into weeks,

and weeks into months, they found themselves meeting more often. In one of their meetings, the man confessed that he, in reality, had been endeavoring to wait on her everyday at the same bus stop, riding the same bus without her knowing that he was also there, from the very first time he had laid his eyes on her. The frequent meetings between the two blossomed into something more beautiful than mere friendship. At their young ages, their desire to be with one another all the time grew stronger by the day, until they could no longer deny that their hearts have started beating as one---truly enamored and in love with each other. By God’s design, they got married on July 08, 1956, and thereafter stuck with each other literally through thick and thin, surmounting even the gravest of marital problems, until they both departed from this world. The man died in 2016, while the woman followed him to heaven in 2018. On July 08, 2019, some 63 years have lapsed from the very day they tied the knot. And although they are no longer around nowadays, we, their children, continue to recall with fondness and love their marital union, because we know that the two (Mr. Melanio Pauco Mauricio Sr. and Mrs. Salvacion Lazo Mauricio), fully discharged their duties and responsibilities towards each other, and as our parents. I am asking our dear readers here to offer a prayer or two for them. Thank God in His Name of Jesus, Amen! -oooREACTIONS?
