By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent

ILIGAN City--Authorities confiscated 200 boxes of alleged fake cigarettes with an estimated market value of P4 million from a cargo while manning a checkpoint along the national highway in Barangay Suarez this city at dawn on Monday (July 15).

Police Captain Taha Tambog, chief of Iligan City Police Station 2, said a forward truck was checked by the city government’s Task Force Kalikasan in a checkpoint, thinking the truck was carrying logs but discovered boxes of cigarettes, wrapped with sacks and covered with laminated sacks.

“The Task Force Kalikasan endorsed it to our office and we found out that it has no pertinent documents to prove the legality of the cigarettes,” Tambog said in a phone interview.

Police identified the driver as Mark Eugene Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade (2nd from right) with PPA PMO MOC Port Manager Bong Butaslac, PPA GM Fernandez Dolorican, Jay Santiago, Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno, and Misamis Oriental Governor Bambi Emano.

No closure order vs. 55 NUJP-Cagayan de Oro City chapter chair, IP schools: DepEd-11 Davao columnist red-tagged by FB group

By CHE PALICTE PNA

DAVAO City--The Department of Education-Region 11 (DepEd-11) clarified it did not issue a closure order against the 55 Salugpungan Ta’ Tanu Igkanogon (Salugpungan) tribal schools, whose permits to operate was suspended by the agency on July 12.

In a media briefing Monday, DepEd-11 spokesperson Jenielito Atillo said permit suspension does not amount to stoppage or total closure contrary to claims by Save our School (SOS) Network, where the Salungpungan school system is a member.

“It is not true that we are closing the schools. It is just a suspension order and we are giving five days show cause period for them to present their answer on the allegations thrown to them,” said Atillo, referring to the “show cause” order on Salugpungan executive director Maria Eugenia Nolasco to provide a written explanation on the allegations of National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon.

Esperon, who is vice chairperson of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, said the Salugpungan tribal school system promotes the New People’s Army’s (NPA) communist ideology that espouses the violent overthrow of the government; trains its students to hold mass actions against the government; and uses curriculums not in accordance with the DepEd guidelines.

On Sunday evening, SOS Network, in its Facebook page, claimed DepEd issued a “closure” order against Salugpungan schools.

SOS said DepEd’s action, as well as Esperon’s allegations, put the security of all Salugpungan students and teachers at risk.

“It is appalling that an institution that is supposed to protect and uphold the children’s right to educa-

tion, has reduced itself as a stamp-pad for the military who have targeted the closure of Lumad schools in Mindanao,” SOS said.

Atillo, however, made it clear that DepEd’s suspension order only pertains to the permit to operate that all private schools in the region are required to obtain every year.

He said Salugpungan learners are always welcome to transfer to DepEd-run schools. He added that they are assisting the transfer of students to governmentrun public schools with or without credentials.

Even Salugpungan teachers, he said, are welcome to apply for vacant positions at DepEd. Atillo also decried the SOS statement describing the DepEd as a stamping pad of Esperon, saying the agency is only acting based on its mandate to protect the students.

“Everything here is in accordance with our mandate and policies. They (SOS) are peddling wrong information to touch human emotions.

If we are the stamping pad, we will automatically close it and will not give due process to them,” the DepEd-11 spokesperson said.

In its statement, SOS accused the DepEd of failing to address the concerns of Salugpungan schools that have been brought to the attention of the agency for the past years.

One of these, it said, are the alleged actions of the military and paramilitary groups to forcibly close down the tribal schools in Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley provinces.

“Yet despite these clear attacks on Lumad schools, students and teachers, we have never heard a single word of protection or support from the DepEd,” SOS said.

In response, Atillo said the SOS allegations are baseless and unsubstantiated and could have been properly addressed See SCHOOLS, page 11

DAVAO City--The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) on July 12 issued an alert on the red-tagging of the NUJP Cagayan de Oro City chapter president and the columnist of Davao Today who was illegally arrested and detained last month for at least half a day.

The NUJP Western Mindanao Safety Office said a

Facebook community page which calls itself “Quiet No More PH” accused NUJP Cagayan de Oro chapter chair Pamela Jay Orias and Davao Today columnist Margarita Valle as “supporters” and “protectors” of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the party’s armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA).

The post, which carries

photographs of both Valle and Orias, was uploaded at 12:44 a.m. on July 12.

It alleged that the two are responsible for spreading propaganda against the government.

The post also names three other organizations aside from the NUJP–the Union of People’s Lawyers in Mindanao (UPLM), the Association for Community

Cooperation and Rural Development (ACCORD), and the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines (RMP)– as ‘communist supporters and protectors.’

Orias has publicly spoken on press freedom issues in her capacity as local head of the NUJP. Valle was arrested by a combined team of police See NUJP, page 11

Education dept. to accept students from suspended schools for Lumad

By Antonio L. Colina IV MindaNews

DAVAO City--Around 1,100 Lumad students affected by the suspension order issued last Friday against 55 schools operated by the Salugpongan Ta’ Tanu Igkanogon Community Learning Center Inc. will be accommodated in public schools, the Department of Education (DepEd) in Davao Region assured on Monday.

DepEd-Region 11 spokesperson Jenielito Atillo told a press conference they had already directed the Salugpongan to facilitate the transfer of the students from their campuses in different provinces in Davao Region to the nearest public schools.

He said the new public schools,

built in Lumad communities, had been instructed to accommodate Lumad children even if they could not present requirements for admission.

“We will also be doing everything that we can do just to make sure that all of these children will be accepted.

We will accept them even without credentials. Basta mo-ingon sila nga gikan koana nga schools (For as long they say they come from those schools, no question asked, we will accept them),” he said.

Atillo said a total of 144 schools in different Lumad communities catering to 9,111 students had been built as of July 15, 2019. Of the total, 32 schools are in Davao Oriental, 8 in Compostela Valley, 43 in Davao Del Norte, 20 in Davao Occidental and

41 Davao City.

He said DepEd-Region 11 would also welcome the teachers from the Salugpongan to apply as public school teachers but they would be subject to the regular application process as other applicants.

“We will be very willing to cater to them as applicants kay dili man pud pwede i-shortcut kay diha sila gikan og naapektuhan sila gumikan sa maong suspension og atoa balion ang policy, dili pud na pwede (we cannot shorten the application in their favor. We cannot change the policy just because they are affected.

It cannot be),” he said.

Citing the report submitted by National Security Adviser See LUMAD, page 11

Salugpongan: DepEd’s suspension of 55 Lumad schools ‘a militaristic approach’ DAVAO City––The suspension of 55 Salugpongan schools in the Davao Region “is a militaristic approach that further marginalizes the Lumad,” the Salugpongan Ta’ Tanu Igkanogon Community Learning Center said in a statement on Saturday.

The Department of Education (DepEd) Region 11 issued Friday an order suspending the permit to operate of 55 Salugpongan schools across the Davao region catering to Lumad or indigenous peoples.

Dr. Evelyn Fetalvero, Officer-in-charge Regional Director of DepEd Region

11 issued the order based on an instruction of Education Secretary Leonor Briones to suspend schools that are operating only with a permit for their recognition status.

The suspension order was also based on allegations

by National Security Adviser Secretary Hermogenes Esperon Jr. that the schools were teaching students to rebel against the government and using children for rallies.

Esperon, who served as Army Chief from 2005 to 2006 and Armed Forces Chief of Staff from 2006 to 2008, chairs the National

Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).

“We are surprised to receive this order as we have been persistent in complying with all the necessary requirements stated in the guidelines for schools for indigenous people and are in constant communication with the DepEd Region 11 Office regarding the release of our permit to operate,” the Salugpongan Learning Center said in its Facebook page.

Salugpongan Learning Center said it will See SUSPENSION, page 11

Health dept. declares national dengue alert

3

HEALTH Secretary Francisco Duque III declared on Monday a national dengue alert due to the rapid increase of dengue cases in several regions of the country.

Duque reported that Region 4-B (Mimaropa), Western Visayas, Central Visayas, and Northern Mindanao have exceeded the epidemic threshold for dengue.

“Clustering of cases must be identified by the Department of Health (DOH) regional office as a basis for declaring a localized epidemic at the barangay level,” Duque said in a press briefing.

Meanwhile, Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Calabarzon, Bicol, Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and Cordillera Administrative Region, are being monitored after exceeding the alert threshold.

According to the DOH Epidemiology Bureau, the dengue cases nationwide has reached a cumulative figure of 106,630, which is 85 percent higher compared to the same period last year at 57,564 cases.

Most cases are from Western Visayas — 13,164; Calabarzon – 11,474; Central Visayas – 9,199; Soccsksargen – 9,107; and Northern Mindanao – 8,739 for the period of January to June 29 this year.

DOH, FDA warn public anew on adverse effects of e-cigarettes THE Department of Health (DOH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Monday warned the public anew against the adverse effects on health and safety associated with the use of electronic nicotine and nonnicotine delivery systems or electronic cigarettes.

“The department, together with the Food and Dr ug Ad mi n ist rat i on ,

maintains that a series of long-term epidemiological and peer-reviewed studies are required to conclude that e-cigarettes are less harmful than conventional smoking,” Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said in a statement.

Duque added there is barely sufficient evidencebased research to prove the effectiveness of e-cigarette

as a smoking cessation aid.

“While there is a lack of conclusive data regarding the long-term effects of using e-cigarettes, its health risks cannot be set aside.

The precautionary principle recommends that, until conclusive data regarding their safety have been established, regulatory measures should aim at reducing exposures to these products,” he said.

According to the DOH, the number of local e-cigarettes consumers will increase as the global market for these devices expand.

E-cigarettes or vapes are combinations of non-tobacco-containing e-liquids or refills and an electronic delivery device. They produce aerosol, mist, or vapor that users inhale by mimicking the act of smoking.

“In 2015, the Global Adult Tobacco Sur vey recorded that the overall prevalence of ever users and current users of e-cigarettes in the Philippines was 2.8 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively,” the DOH said.

The DOH stressed that the composite contents of and emissions from these devices are not completely without harm as they use

chemicals such as nicotine, ultra-fine particles, carcinogens, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds.

Unruffled

‘Big brother, where art thou?’

AHEAD of the much awaited SONA, the President made public that his report to the nation would be spiced up with a quick lecture on the reported ‘bullying’ of a Filipino fishing boat by a Chinese vessel that hugged headlines and opinion pages elsewhere and everywhere.

Indeed, if that sea incident was considered a security threat, Duterte’s challenge to the country’s ally, the U.S. , to send its 7th fleet in the troubled West Philippine Sea could be well justified.

Perhaps, Washington sees the situation now as a serious security concern, somewhat aggressive and provocative, and that it considers China’s continu-

ing occupation of the islands as unwarranted in the highest order.

Such stance was a clear violation of Philippine sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction, as defined under international law including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Duterte, tagged by his detractors as pro-China, has adopted a non-confrontational approach in territorial spats with Beijing while seeking Chinese infrastructure funds, trade and investment.

He has often lashed out at the security policies of the U.S., a treaty ally, while praising China and Russia.

On the other hand, the U.S. as a ‘big brother’ has

that moral obligation to shield the PH from harm, in this case the continuing ‘bullying’ of China through application of the Mutual Defense Treaty inked long time ago by both countries.

Meantime, Duterte has to walk a tightrope when discussing China’s increasingly assertive actions in the disputed waters, where Manila and Beijing, along with four other governments, have wrangled for control of the disputed islands.

Over the years, China has expanded her territorial greed in the disputed islands, ignoring security implications against the U.S. and its allies.

That said, the country is continuously staking its

Ruffy Magbanua

claim, but if China will keep on her grip of the disputed islands, trouble of immeasurable magnitude is likely to happen any time soon.

Duterte says he has no choice but to send the navy and marines on a suicide mission—a move duly praised by his critics at the expense of the more than 100 million population now facing annihilation from the face of the Earth.

O big brother, where art thou? (ruffy44_ph2000@ yahoo.com)

Think A Minute

From Russia with love

THINK a minute.

This is a true Russian love story.

Nadya von Meck was the wealthiest woman in Moscow. But all of her money and fortune could not comfort her after her husband died.

She then escaped inside her luxurious home and tried to heal her broken heart by playing the music she loved on her piano.

At the same time in the city of Moscow was a 36-year-old composer named Peter Tchaikovsky.

He had no idea that his music had begun to restore hope and love to the heart of this lonely widow.

Nadya felt that he understood her pain and feelings, and had masterfully turned them into the most soothing and stirring music she had ever heard.

But Nadya’s infatuation with Peter’s music was also

attracting her to him personally.

She learned from his friends about his interests, and later paid Tchaikovsky to write more music.

Nadya, in fact, became his #1 supporter.

Over time she also became his closest confidant and companion who inspired him to create some of history’s most romantic music.

For 14 years they found love in each other.

In fact, Tchaikovsky’s passionate music was written for none other than his Nadya, the love of his life.

Then one day they suddenly ended their relationship, and no one knows for certain why.

After that, neither of them lived long without the other.

Nadya quickly lost her health and Peter died speaking her name.

Real love must be lived ‘up close and personal,’ not just in romantic love songs and letters.

Yet their secrets live on in their love letters to each other. That is all we know of them. For 14 years they expressed their feelings for each other in letters.

Amazingly, the famous relationship of Peter Tchaikovsky and Nadya von Meck, which produced some of the world’s most romantic music, was from two lovers who never once met face to face!

But the fact is real love must be lived “up close and personal,” not just in romantic love songs and

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

letters.

That is why God became a real person: to show His love for us “up close and personal,” so we could know what He is really like, and learn to love Him for who He really is.

There is nothing more He can do to show us how much He loves us, and how much He wants to share His life with us in a daily personal relationship.

So once and for all, won’t you open your heart and ask Jesus to become the Lord and Love of your life?

Only then can His real love and power begin changing everything in your life.

Just think a minute.

Mindanao leaders bat for stronger link with Indonesia, BIMP-EAGA

By DIGNA BANZON

DAVAO CITY – Leaders in Mindanao region have vowed to sustain and improve both economic ties and cultural exchanges anchored on years of bilateral relations between Philippines and Indonesia.

Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) chair Nathaniel Dalumpines, in his message during the recent opening of Wonderful Indonesia Tourism, Food, and Trade Expo 2019, said it is good for more people especially the youth, to know and appreciate the culture of its BIMP-EAGA (BruneiIndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asean Growth Area) neighbors through exhibits and activities and the holding of the business networking sessions.

Such activities, according to him, can further strengthen business connections and linkages.

The expo showcases Indonesia's authentic food and

delicacies and other export quality products like herbs, coffee, and other beverages.

Indonesia's top tourist destinations were highlighted in a campaign spearheaded by the foreign country's Ministry of Tourism, with seven travel agencies offering packages to Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya, Lombok, and other unexplored mustvisit sites.

Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Mindanao Assistant Secretary Norman Garibay said the expo can be considered as an infusion of fresh blood to the BIMP-EAGA which was the reason their office was established.

"There are changing realities in the island especially with the creation of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and the growing economic significance in Mindanao, the Davao See LINK, page 9

PEZA pushes grant of subsidies for high-ticket industries

By LESLIE GATPOLINTAN

MANILA -- The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) will submit to the next Congress a proposed amendment to its law, granting subsidies to high-ticket industries that will invest at least US1 billion, create over 5,000 jobs, and bring new technology, its top official said.

PEZA Director General Charito Plaza said the agency is preparing a draft proposal to revise Republic Act 7916, or the Special Economic Zone Act of 1995.

“That’s what we are discussing now then, we will submit this in Congress…

Because other than the existing incentives we are providing our investors, we will also give subsidies (upon approval of the President),” she said in an interview with Philippine News Agency this week.

Plaza bared that the agency is conducting an inventory of alienable and disposable public lands, which it will propose to President Rodrigo Duterte to be proclaimed as public economic zones (ecozones).

“So that we can attract investors kasi mura tayo pag (because it is cheaper in) public ecozones like the four

ecozones of PEZA, we are the cheapest in lease rental of the land. We provide the cheapest power rate, the utilities, (and) we see to it that every ecozone will have its own power, water and telecoms,” she added.

Plaza said these subsidies also include lower power cost, noting the country currently has excess power supply especially in Mindanao.

“Then we can also have longer ITH (income tax holiday). These are some of the subsidies that we are inputting in our amendment to our PEZA law,” she said.

Exercising a Child’s Study Habits

By LYVIA S ARENAS Butuan Central Elementary School Butuan City, Agusan del Norte

Aside from learning both academic and moral teachings at school, students should also be taught how to study. Studying comes off difficult for a lot of students because they were not exercised to do so in their early years. Good study habits will help a child get more focused in learning academically and at the same time prepare him for his future years in school.

Teachers should exert more effort into encouraging students, if not obliging, to continue practicing what they learned in school at home. The learners can then read their notes at home to review the things that they have discussed. It will give them enough time to cope up and understand the topics at their own pace. They could also ask for help from their family members regarding the

concepts that they find difficult. Children should also be rigorously trained to do their assignments and projects at home and be able to pass it on time.

With the help of the parents monitoring their kids, this will be very efficient. Practicing a child’s study habit will really go a long way because then, they will not have a hard time doing it as they progress academically.

The Role of Teachers in the 21st Century Learners KARL ANTHONY O. SALISE Carmen National High School

The term “21st century” has become an integral part of educational thinking and planning for the future.

Educators and administrators are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before.

Various studies have shown us that rote memorization is not an effective learning strategy and that teacher-centered classrooms (versus studentcentered classrooms) may not be the most efficiently structured ones for student engagement.

However, despite learning about the skills that students will need to develop to become successful in the 21st century, as well as what beliefs about education may be worth hanging onto or throwing away, schools and teachers are left trying to figure out what their role needs to be in the education of their

21st century students.

Once upon a time, the role of the educator was to prepare students for the specific tasks they would be required to complete (be it a trade, craft, or profession). Communities were also much more homogenous, and so specific values and cultures needed to be transmitted and practiced to ensure the survival of those beliefs.

Nowadays, we don’t live in the same world.

Society is a mix of many different beliefs and cultures. Globalization has opened up the world and allowed people to connect in new and exciting ways.

We blend traditions and create unique belief systems that are not taught in any classroom, but are developed through our life experiences and passions.

We transmit our values and cultures without the expectation of them being adopted by our audience – just accepted by them.

21st Century Teaching AILEEN M. REGALA Carmen National High School

21st century started on January 1, 2001 up to the present and it will end on December 31, 2100. Let’s take a review on what are the important happenings that occurred from 21st century begun until now. We will see how transitions and changes took place in Technology and Society that vastly affected our economy and our education. According to my research,” the first years of the 21st century have thus far been marked by the rise of a global economy.” There is a rapid growth and fast development of new technologies that even until now is rising.

Technology then played a very important role in our daily living and due to its high demand, it needs to be supplied. Technology became our partner whatever endeavor that we make whether in home, in office, in schools and even in outdoors activities. In other words, children born in this era are attached to technology.

This means that even in the field of Education, there must also a change in the strategies of teaching that is fit and align for this new generation which is the 21st Century Teaching. The educational system has been evolving faster than ever before so the educators and administrators are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future.

Once upon a time, the role of the educator was to prepare students for the specific tasks they would be required to complete. This is our traditional way of teaching. Nowadays, we don’t live in the same world. Society is a mix of many different beliefs and cultures.

Globalization has opened up the world and

allowed people to connect in new and exciting ways. Though the essence of education doesn’t change, there are things that need to be considered. Society has changed. We cannot adequately prepare students for the society that exists today or will exist tomorrow, if we continue to prepare them for the society that existed yesterday. I remember when one of my instructors said that there is no best curriculum because it is dynamic.

It is constantly changing because of the demand of the society. That is why OBE or Outcome-Based Education exists to cater the needs of this generation.

From the Subject-Centered design that we are used to engage with in the traditional way, 21st century teaching is now focus on the learners. Instructions are now studentcentered where the teachers are no longer the sole knowledge provider but we call now as facilitator. The learnings in the classrooms are now collaborative for the students to be prepared how to collaborate people across the globe. Different learning styles are encouraged, and students have an enhanced sense of motivation and responsibility. They engage in many different types of hands-on activities, as well as demonstrate learning in many different ways. Learning is about discovery, not the memorization of facts.

Lastly, the 21st century educator must use teaching strategies to ensure that the focus in education is on preparing today’s children for the future of where they will live and where they will work, not for our current world.

We have nothing to wish for but to see all of you successful in this endeavor and the income you earned will help sustain the needs of your respective families,” the Governor said. He likewise encouraged each group to value the government’s support and use it to have a progressive organization.

“Keep in mind that your success is my happiness so do your best to have a sustainable and successful lovelihood project,” he

added.

Deloso bared that the activity gave the task force a concrete and realistic guide on the interventions needed by the community.

“Our strategies are localized peace talk with the families so that the message will go down quickly. We will also strategize through community immersion and sectoral dialogue.

What is really important is the participation of our people, and this is empowering them and gaining mutual respect,” said Ednar Dayanghirang, vice chair of PTF-ELCAC. Deloso added that the immersion resulted in the identification of the needs of the barangay which include: water system, employment, livelihood, education, activity centers for the schools, land tenure security, tribal hall for the indigenous people, and sanitation, among others.

“Those needs that can be accommodated by the barangay will be addressed by the barangay. Needs that require bigger attention and budget will be referred to the local government and to the province.

This way, we inculcate a sense of belongingness to the measures that will be undertaken to find solutions to the problems, of which everybody must be a part of the solution,” Dayanghirang explained. (PNA)

She cited President Duterte’s Administrative Order (AO) No. 18, encouraging the PEZA to spread the creation of economic zones. “(The AO) encourages industries to go the countryside so that we can accelerate rural progress through a robust development of special economic zones in the countryside. So in order to attract investors, we have to give them not just incentives, but (also) subsidies,” she added.

Plaza further said the AO also directed all government agencies to support the special economic zones.

“Our plan is, every region should have international airport and seaport.

These are most important to attract investors because how can they transport their goods if there is no airport, no seaport?,” she added. (PNA)

“He died instantaneously from five gunshot wounds in the head and body,” the police official said.

Police investigators found empty shells for .45-caliber pistol at the ambush site.

Lucero’s teenage children told police that the gunmen wore masks, making it difficult to identify them.

warehouses to a temporary passenger holding facility in 2004, today after 15 long years of waiting the seaport of Cagayan de Oro is happy and the proud recipient of the most modern and biggest passenger terminal building that can ably serve and afford passengers with the much needed comfort, convenience, safety, security and connectivity,”Bustaslac said.

In his keynote speech, Tugade disclosed the programs and projects being launched or inaugurated during the occasion.

Up on h i s ar r i v a l , Tugade said he inaugurated the new Opol seaport, which will help decongest the Cagayan de Oro Port by serving tramping vessels.

“San Miguel Beer and Asia Brewery told me they will henceforth no longer proceed to the Cagayan de Oro Port to load and unload their cargoes, which help decongest the CDO Port and at the same time help create livelihood and business opportunities for Opol residents, “Tugade said.

The DOTr Secretar y also announced three key programs in relation to the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program.

These included raising the Pantawid Pasada for all franchise holders from P5, 000 to P20, 000; the availability of scholarships for drivers, operators and their dependents; and the 5-6-7-80 (for 5% equity, 6% interest, 7 year term and P80, 000 subsidy) as the government subsidy to help franchise holders replace their overage jeepne ys with mo dern vehicles for the safety of their passengers and

mitigation of environment impact of pollution emitted by overage jeepneys and other PUVs. Third, Tugade launched a new extension office for the Land Transportation and Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Region 10 at the SM City Cagayan de Oro Uptown Mall where he exhorted the regional personnel to exert maximum efforts to cut down the processing time for all renewals and applications.

Fourth, Tugade inaugurated the new six-lane electronic gate complex at the Cagayan de Oro Port. The 6-Lane, ISPS compliant Electronic Gate Complex through Gate 3 will relieve traffic congestion at Gate No. 2 by providing 6-lane electronic controlled access to port users and eliminate long queues at the entry point.

This facility will be fully equipped with CCTV cameras, weigh bridges for cargo, electronic gates, and payment booths. The Electronic Permit System (EPS) and Electronic Payment System (ePayment) will be eventually embedded and complemented by the LTO’s Motor Vehicle Recognition System through the use of the RFID. (as part of system (RFID).

Not the least, Tugade led the unveiling of the commemorative marker at the new Passenger Terminal Building at the C agayan de Oro p or t, which he said is the biggest and most modern in the country.

“This is the center point of the Visayas and Mindanao and will promote convergence and connectivity among the regions,” Tugade said. “This facility will also have a fully electronic body scanner which will do away with physical contact with the

passengers for their increased comfort and peace of mind while traveling through this facility.”

However, Tugade was not done yet and added to much applause that he w a s pro c e e d i ng to L aguindingan Air p or t in Misamis Oriental to order the extension of its present runway from 2.1 kilometers to 2.4 or 2.5 kilometers.

“This will enable Laguindingan to accommodate wide body aircraft and vastly increase incoming and departing passenger traffic to this key facility to further promote business and tourism,” he added.

At present, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Technical Working Group is still evaluation Aboitiz Infrastructure’s unsolicited proposal for a Public-Private Partnership to expand the airport’s passenger terminal.

Even upon its opening in 2013, the passenger traffic through Laguindingan already exceeded its design capacity and its present volume of over 2 million passengers annually is already swamping the present facility.

All pending applications for renewal of the government permits of the Salugpongan are likewise suspended, according to Atillo.

He said Salugpongan had been ordered to submit a “show cause” within five days upon receipt of the order or until July 17, explaining why their permit to operate should not be revoked.

Atty. Arvin Antonio V. Ortiz, DepEd-Region 11 legal officer, said “show cause” gave the Salugpongan an opportunity to respond to the allegations of the military before coming out with a decision whether to close the schools or not.

He said failure to submit an explanation will force the agency to “decide on the matter on the basis of available evidence” presented to the DepEd by the military.

On Sunday, the Save Our Schools (SOS) Network expressed alarm over the suspension of the 55 Salugpongan schools on the basis of a military report.

The group said it was appalled by how DepEd had “reduced itself as a stamp pad for the military who have targeted the closure of Lumad schools in Mindanao” by failing to protect and uphold the children’s right to education.

It added the SOS criticized Education Secretary Leonor Briones for not accepting their invitation to hold a dialogue with the school representatives to know the plight of the Lumad.

“We are surprised to receive this order as we have been persistent in comply-

Tuesday, July 16, 2019 ing with all the necessary requirements stated in the guidelines for schools for indigenous people and are in constant communication with the DepEd Region 11 Office regarding the release of our permit to operate,” the Salugpongan Learning Center said in its Facebook page on Saturday.

It said it will “challenge the accusations made by Esperon which served as basis for DepEd’s order. Mr. Esperon has again resorted to fabricated accusations and red-tagging to justify the closure of Lumad schools.”

It said it will appeal the suspension of the 55 schools within the five days given to them by DepEd. “We are saddened that the government’s mandate to recognize and uphold the right of the Lumad to education and self-determination is superseded by a militaristic approach that further marginalizes the Lumad.

“Education is an issue that directly concerns the public. We appeal to the public to support the Lumad children and their right to education and to oppose the injustice depriving them of this right,” it added. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

if formal complaints were coursed through law enforcement authorities.

What t he SOS and Salungpungan should answer, Atillo said, are the credible allegations that the tribal school system is being used to propagate the “violent” ideology of the New People’s Army, and that its schools are being used as recruitment and training ground by the communist rebel movement.

Atillo said Esperon’s allegations are backed by the testimonies of a former teacher of a Salugpungan school who has since left the organization.

“The basis of Secretary Esperon is the affidavit executed by Melvin Loyod who is a former student of a certain Salugpungan school and eventually became a volunteer teacher in a Salugpungan school in Sitio Pongpong, Barangay Sto. Niño in Talaingod, Davao del Norte,” Atillo said.

In his affidavit executed on Dec. 6, 2018, Loyod said that Salugpungan learners were taught rebellion tactics against the government.

The military also claimed that the schools are training grounds for NPA recruitment, where students are trained in guerilla warfare.

He added that the students are taught NPA literature, made to sing songs praising the communist rebellion, and made to act in plays depicting alleged military abuses on the Indigenous Peoples (IPs).

“Based on Loyod’s testimony, they were also taught to handle firearms, learn the techniques on how to ambush military personnel, and other actions detrimen-

tal to national security,” Atillo said.

The SOS Network, he said, should check their facts and stop telling lies.

In a report published May 3 on pna.gov.ph, Maj. Gen Antonio Parlade Jr. of NTF-ELCAC urged the immediate closure of Salugpongan schools for allegedly recruiting children to become rebels and causing the deaths of tribal leaders opposing their operation.

The same report quoted Parlade as saying the closure must be done even if these schools have acquired the necessary permits from DepEd. “The issue here is not the validity of the documents.

This is about morality in allowing the continuation of these schools, now that we know that the community itself (does) not want them to operate anymore,” Parlade, AFP Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations, said.

Schools run by nongovernment organizations have also been put up in other provinces of Mindanao to give Lumad children in farflung communities access to education. (MindaNews)

Physicians, American College of Surgeons -- have unanimously stated that these devices are health hazards. The Philippine Pediatric Society has likewise been vocal about its strongly addictive and potentially cancer-causing effects,” the DOH said.

Since these products have a unique appeal to the youth, due to the prevalence of flavored variants and their unique construction, the DOH and FDA strongly appeal to parents, teachers, and health workers to educate children and adolescents about the health risks of e-cigarettes.

“Results generated from peer-reviewed studies show that e-cig juices contain high levels of addictive nicotine, which can result

in acute or even fatal poisoning through ingestion and other means. In addition to nicotine addiction, cases of nicotine toxicity in children of epidemic proportion have been documented in other countries with increasing prevalence of e-cigarette use,” the DOH said, adding that bystanders can also breathe harmful second-hand aerosols from e-cigarettes.

given this pattern, the DOH expects an increase in cases this year,” Duque said.

Even though dengue is a viral disease which can’t be cured through antibiotics and vaccines, Duque stressed that early detection and proper case management can prevent deaths due to it.

“Effective surveillance can also help in reducing cases and deaths if areas with clustering of cases are identified early. Signs and symptoms of disease are severe headache, pain behind the eyes, severe joint and muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and skin rashes,” he said.

Duque reiterated that the 4S strategy remains the most effective way to prevent dengue cases and deaths. This includes: Search and destroy mosquito breeding places; Self-protective measures like wearing long sleeves and use of insect repellent; Seek early consultation on the first signs and symptoms of the disease; and Say yes to fogging if there is an impending outbreak.

In coordination with the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC), through Undersecretary Ricardo Jalad of the Office of Civil Defense, code blue alert is activated.

of government agencies to provide (fast) services.

Huwag natin sila ipasa-pasa sa iba’t ibang ahensya. Kung lalapitan nila ang Department of OFWs, ito na po ang makikipag-coordinate sa lahat ng ahensiya ng gobyerno para matulungan sila,” Go said.

Go added that President Duterte plans to certify as urgent the creation of the Department of OFWs so that Congress can act swiftly on the passage of the proposed measure.

Go noted that President Duterte would like to put an end to manpower agencies that demand excessive fees from Filipinos seeking jobs abroad and to protect Filipino migrant workers from abusive illegal recruiters. This will be one of the primary functions of the department of OFWs once it is established.

“Gusto pong iwasan ni Pangulong Duterte itong

nangyayaring illegal recruitment. Marami pong nagiging biktima nito. Humihingi ng saklolo, gustong umuwi.

Itong magiging bagong departamento na lang po na ito ang lalapitan nila,” Go said.

In line with this, one of Go’s first legislative measures filed on July 02 is Senate Bill 202 or the Department of Overseas Filipinos Act of 2019.

Senate Bill 202 seeks to address these issues, such as the need to improve coordination among concerned offices, hence the proposal to put them together under one roof to avoid fingerpointing among agencies concerned with OFW affairs.

The Bill proposes that the following agencies and their powers and functions, funds and appropriations, records, equipment, property, and personnel will be transferred to the new Department to be established: (1) Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA); (2) Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA); (3) Commission on Filipino Overseas (CFO); (4) International Labor Affairs Bureau of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and (5) National Reintegration Center for OFWs (NRCO).

The powers and functions of the Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs under the Department of Foreign Affairs and all Philippine Overseas Labor Offices and their officials under the DOLE will also be transferred to this new Department as stated in the proposed law.

“Itong Department of OFWs primarily para sa mga OFWs na lang talaga natin. Kasi alam niyo po, minsan kung saan-saan sila humihingi ng tulong at ng advice. Hindi nila alam kung saan sila pupunta,” he added.

Go also assured the OFWs that they will not pay anything in excess in able to avail the services of the proposed department once it is done. He, likewise, said that he and President Duterte would push for the passage of the law and the completion of the creation of the Department of OFWs

by December.

“We will make sure na hindi po (dagdag na) gagastos ang ating OFWs sa gagawing bagong departamento. Nag-usap na rin kami ni Pangulo that he will certify it as urgent.

Sabi niya kung maari by December maisagawa na ito,” he added.

Aside from the new department, Go said that President Duterte would also build hospitals specifically for Filipino migrant workers. The President is also eyeing to provide more livelihood assistance and trainings to migrant workers and those who wish to go back to the country as part of government’s reintegration program, the Senator shared.
