Maranao groups ask Duterte to open two roads in Marawi for access of goods, aid

By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City--The provincial government of Lanao del Sur has assured Maranao groups who have urged the government that two access

points connecting Marawi City to the rest of the province will be opened but only for passage of agencies doing humanitarian efforts and not for the general public.

Assemblyman Zia Alonto Adiong said Monday that open-

ing of the Guimba bridge and the national highway in Matampay has long been the request of the local government unit so it could lead in the delivery of basic services to the residents living in the peripheries of Marawi.

Lanao del Sur is comprised of 39 municipalities with Marawi as its only city and the province’s capital.

Adiong said at least 10 towns in the first congressional district are indirectly affected by

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Iligan City Mayor Celso Regencia on Tuesday ordered the military and police to prevent about 1,000 protesters from Cagayan de Oro City to hold an indignation rally denouncing Martial THE winners of the Oratorical contest contest relative to the National Disaster Resilience Month of 2017.

Law in Iligan City.

Regencia ordered the deployment of two Armored Personnel Carrier (APC), a military fighting vehicle, in the border of Iligan City in Lanao Del Norte and Lugai-it, Misamis Oriental to prevent the convoy of protesters to enter Iligan City.

Jo Pantoja, the Iligan City Hall spokesperson, told The Mindanao Daily News that Mayor Regencia ordered the military and the police to prohibit the protesters to enter and conduct the march rally in Iligan City for security reason.

He said that Regencia’s purpose of disallowing the

protesters to enter Iligan City was not to curtail the anti-Martial Law sentiments of the protesters, but to avoid a possible breach of the peaceful atmosphere of Iligan City.

NEA sacks Buseco official

THE National Electrification Administration (NEA) has ordered the removal from office of Bukidnon Second Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Buseco) Officer-in-Charge Deiter Hoff Arellano after he was found guilty of grave misconduct, dishonesty and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the electric cooperative (EC) and its member-consumer-owners (MCOs).

In a 22-page decision dated June 22, the NEA Board of Administrators said Arellano committed acts

of dishonesty, grave misconduct and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the EC and the MCOs when he concealed a material fact in recommending to the Board of Directors of Buseco to enter into a power supply contract with the FDC Misamis Power Corporation (FDC Misamis).

Aside from dismissal, Arellano was also meted the accessory penalty of perpetual disqualification from employment and being qualified to run as candidate for the Board of Direc-

tors of any rural electric cooperative, and forfeiture of retirement benefits.

The case stemmed from a complaint filed by NEA Chief Edgardo Masongsong, a former representative of the party-list group 1-CARE and general manager of Buseco. He filed the administrative case against Arellano when he was still in Congress and took no part in the decision of the case.

Masongsong charged Arellano for making a recommendation See sacks, page 2

Affected families in Marawi crisis: 55,588 THE number of validated families affected by the ongoing armed conflict in Marawi City now reached 55,588 or, 226,462 individuals, according to the latest report made by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Region 10 (DSWD-10).

In a press statement, the DSWD said Northern Mindanao is home to 35 evacuation centers providing shelter to 2,808 families, excluding the home-based families numbering about 52,780.

The DSWD has 5 active evacuation centers in Iligan City, one in Cagayan de Oro City, and 11 in Balo-i, one in Pantar, and 17 in Pantao Ragat, all municipalities under the province of Lanao del Norte.

For the whole province of Lanao del Norte including Iligan City, the total number of IDP families served increases to 47,288 or 200,843 persons. The number of families inside evacuation centers served, including Iligan City, is 2,803 or 13,190 persons.

Home-based Families served in Lanao del Norte, includ-

ing Iligan City, is 44,485 or 187,653.

For Iligan City alone, the number of IDP families served is 27,596 or 110,216 persons. There are 815 families sheltered in evacuation centers served or 3,849 persons, while the number of home-based IDP families served is 26,781 or 106,367 persons.

Five Evacuation Centers are still operational in Iligan City namely: Buru-un School of Fisheries, Buruun Gym, Tibanga Gym, Bayanihan Gym, and Ma. Cristina Gym. In Misamis Oriental, the number of IDP families served is 7,546 or 22,175 persons; five (5) families or 19 persons staying in the lone evacuation Center situated in Barangay Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City.

Local government units provided P2,180,668.00 for IDPs and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) also provided a total of P4,581,384.00 as recorded.

IDPs need to be resilient from disaster, with this in mind, the camp managers facilitated lectures on disaster preparedness to equip IDPs inside Nangka Barangay Hall Evacuation Center, Balo-i; and in Calawi Auditorium EC, Natangcopan EC and Madarasah Bobong in Pantao Ragat, all

ments (PSAs) entered into by electric cooperatives.

However, the NEA Board said it had jurisdiction to decide on the case, citing Department Circular No. 2013-07-0015 of the Department of Energy, otherwise known as the “Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)” of the Republic Act No. 10531 or the “National Electrification Administration Reform Act of 2013.”

The NEA Board, in its ruling, also found substantial evidence to hold Arellano liable for dishonesty, grave misconduct and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the electric cooperative and the MCOs. It said the Executive Committee, chaired by the respondent, was responsible in the evaluation of the output of the Power Supply Contracting Team (PSCT).

It added that although the decision to acquire power from FDC Misamis was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors, it was still the respondent who presented and recommended to the Board the approval of the agreement.

Moreover, the NEA Board said documents submitted also showed that not all existing committed suppliers of Buseco, particularly the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives, Inc.-Power

Supply Aggregation Corporation (Amreco-Psagcor), were invited to submit their proposal or letter of intent to supply the additional power requirement of the cooperative.

It added that as OIC and as chairman of the Executive Committee, it was incumbent upon Arellano “to guide and provide valuable insights and disclose information that will help PSCT members, ExeCom and ultimately the Board of Directors in their deliberation, study and eventual approval of the procurement of additional power supply requirement of the cooperative.”

“Respondent’s acts clearly reflect his dishonesty and grave misconduct. He was less than forthright in his dealings with the Board in particular and to the MCOs in general. He wilfully did not invite GNPower, in particular or other power suppliers for that matter who may have lower rates, to submit a proposal/letter of intent thus depriving the MCOs to avail of a cheaper power rate resulting to the latter’s detriment,” the decision read.

“Likewise, his acts imply malevolent intent, and not merely error in judgment.

He was fully aware of the availability of other power suppliers with significantly

from page 1

to the Board of Directors for the purchase of power from the FDC Misamis but concealing the vital information regarding other power suppliers that offered cheaper power. This act, he said, led the Board of Directors to approve the power supply contract which prejudiced the MCOs by paying a substantially more expensive electricity. This, the NEA chief said, was in violation and blatant disregard to the mandate of distribution utilities as provided for Republic Act 9136, otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 or EPIRA. In his defense, Arellano insisted that the decision to acquire power from FDC Misamis was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Buseco. He added that the decision was also “not a product of haphazard or knee-jerk response to the looming power crises.”

The respondent also questioned the jurisdiction of the NEA. He argued that the NEA had no authority to hear the case as the exclusive jurisdiction belonged to the Energy Regulatory Commission with regard to the Power Supply Agree-

of Lanao del Norte province with basic knowledge on disaster preparedness.

Community and Family Services International (CFSI) workers conducted counseling and psychosocial support activities to IDPs inside Nangka Barangay Hall Evacuation Center to debrief them from their traumatic experiences, likewise camp managers

and other humanitarian organization conducted therapy sessions to children and women IDPs. DSWD has processed the requisition of 12 folding beds for a paralyzed woman and other senior citizens inside the newly opened Al-Beroni Madrasah in West Poblacion, Baloi, Lanao del Norte.

To ensure safe temporary

shelters for IDPs who will be evicted from madrasah schools, the LGU of Pantao Ragat has finished developing the site for the Tent City as DSWD readies the tents for the affected IDPs from the said madrasah. However, International Organization for Migration (IOM) representatives had reportedly coordinated with the

lower prices but he did not inform the Board about them. At the very least, he failed to advance the welfare of the MCOs, and that constitutes wilful disregard of the laws and rules,” it added. “ Taken together, all the circumstances, and as proven by substantial evidence, show that respondent committed acts of dishonest, grave misconduct, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the electric cooperative and its memberconsumer-owners,” the decision further stated.

The NEA Board has directed the Human Resources Department of Buseco to implement the dismissal order against Arellano as soon as it receives the copy of the decision. The ADCOM has also been tasked to conduct motu proprio investigation against the members of the Buseco Board of Directors for possible administrative liability on the contracts entered into by the cooperative with FDC Misamis.

“We will work with the member-consumers of the 15 other ECs who contracted

power supply from the FDC coal plant to file charges at the NEA versus their GMs and BOD members for the same crime committed by Deiter,” said Engr. David A. Tauli, president of the Mindanao Coalition of Power Consumers (MCPC). “We will start with CAMELCO.” Tauli met with a group of member-consumers of BUSECO last July 24 for the filing of a petition with a Malaybalay RTC to annul the long-term power supply contract of BUSECO with the FDC coal plant.

KUPAS NA BULAKLAK

Kupas na ang samyo, mabangong bulaklak, Wala nang taginting ang dating halakhak, Malamang mata’y wala na ring kindat, Ang pakpak sa paa’y mistulang pabigat.

At kung mawawala man liksi ng katawan, Kapalit ay sigla ng isipan, Matimping hinahon ang siyang kalasag, Ay pinaiiral damdaming panatag.

O nananaig na dilim sa liwanag, Bakas ng dapit hapon ay naaaninag, Timyas ng kudyapi, kuwerdas ng takipsilim.

Kay ganda ng buhay kahit makulimlim!

Kung damang-dama na bigat ng panahon, Ang katawang lupa’y waring nababaon, Di pa rin susuko ipagpapatuloy, Sa aking kapuwa ako’y makatulong.

Dama ko man yaring kirot ng kalamnan, Lakas may kumupas, paghinga’y dumalang, Pag-ibig sa puso’y gayun din ang timbang, Damdami’y mainit, malambing, magalang.

Bango ma’y mawala ng dating bulaklak, Simbuyo at pusok sa limot nasadlak, May kapalit namang higit na timbang, Talino at dunong nagbibigay tapang.

Hangga’t may liwanag itong aking diwa, May tira pang lakas ang katawang lupa, Di ko sasayangin, di palalampasin, Ang aking halaman, aking didiligan.

“Di nababahala sa huling sandali, Pagkat di nabago, kabutihang mithi, Ang hiling ko lamang duon kay Bathala, Kung kukunin na Nya’y huwag nang pahirapan!

DENR-Agsur to donate 8,000 lumbers for Marawi rehab e-mail: mindanaodailynews@gmail.com

By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN Correspondent

TALACOGON, Agusan del Sur--Some 30,000 board feet or some 8,000 pieces of lumber from this province is now ready for donation to Marawi siege evacuees for the rehabilitation of their homes destroyed by the continuing atrocities in the battered city.

Forester Charlie Fabre, Caraga regional director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), said the huge volume of the lumber materials of premium wood species is just awaiting go signal from President Rodrigo Duterte and DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu so they can proceed with the delivery to Marawi City in time for reconstruction works.

Community Environment and Natural Resources Officer Achilles Anthony Ebron based here said the lumber materials intended for housing to displaced Marawi residents is part of the 40 percent production share of Casilayan Softwood Development Corp (CSDC),.a holder of Integrated Forest Management Agreement that produced round wood for forest-based manufacturing industries.

He said the volumes of lumber now at the CSDC stockyard is just the first batch of wood products for donation as there are some 1,000 cubic meters of confiscated that will be sawn for lumber which is also intended for Marawi housing rehabilitation.

Other DENR offices in neighboring provinces of Caraga will also donate lumber materials but Agusan del Sur has offered 60 percent of the total volume owing up to a total of 400,000 cubic meters of wood products.

The support from DENR offices in Agusan del Sur was fueled by the initiative of the provincial government whose officials recently visited the evacuation centers in Pantao Ragat town in Lanao del Sur where they distributed some 5,000 bags of rice containing 10 kilos each to the displaced Marawi residents.

Agusan del Sur is the first local government unit in the country to personally distribute the relief packs not only to internally displaced persons (IDPs) of Marawi but to battle-weary Army soldiers still in the frontline in the war against the dreaded Maute ISIS group.

Agusan del Sur Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza has led in the distribution the bags of rice printed with “From the people of Agusan del Sur” to the evacuees seeking refuge at the evacuation center and

the homes of their relatives in Pantao Ragat town.

Another 2,000 packs of assorted canned goods, bottled water and biscuits were also given to Army soldiers belonging to 4th Mechanized Battalion based in Iligan City..

“We will pray that this conflict will end soon so you can go back home and lead normal lives again,” Plaza told the IDPs during the relief goods distribution.

Pantao Ragat Vice Mayor Mohammed Daud Nabil Lantud was grateful to the visiting local officials saying the relief supplies would be a big help to the IDPs considering that they have limited funds for the purchase of foods and other necessities of the evacuees.

“When they are happy, we are even more glad to see them smile,” Lantud told PTV 8 Agusan del Sur reporter Alexis Cabardo in an interview.

Col. Alex Aduca, commanding officer of the 4th Mechanized Battalion, said he will personally deliver the relief packs to his men in the battlefield in the besieged Marawi.

The CYNOSURE

Peace is elusive, but attainable

Even if it could not be attained in our lifetime, the pursuit of peace must continue. The statement was a paraphrase of President Rodrigo Duterte during his “State of the Nation Address” (SONA) Monday, when he talked about attaining peace with the communist National Democratic Front Philippines (NDFP).

While Duterte might have closed the avenue to sit down at the negotiating table with the NDFP, he still believes that the need to pursue peace must continue until the possibility of attaining it in the future.

The NDFP is the umbrella organization of its political arm, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), and its military

wing, the New People’s Army (NPA).

The government and the NDFP, once again, started to explore the possibility of attaining peace months after Duterte was elected President in 2016.

Out of sincerity and goodwill, Duterte ordered the release of imprisoned key NDF personalities to allow them to join in the negotiating table in The Netherlands.

Everybody thought that the cry of the insurgency in the country’s hinterlands would silence and peace finally reigns in the land.

In fairness, the government and the NDF have already resolved about pressing issues and concerns in the peace process. When in

the last round of talks, the peace negotiation seemed to bungle is something to ponder about.

What went wrong? Who is committing the blunder?

Duterte was candid when he talked to the militant groups after the SONA Monday. He was the only President who has the gut to talk to an agitated crowd of protesters. “Do you want peace? Why did you try to kill me? [Referring to the ambuscade of the advance Presidential Security Group in the Arakan Valley). If I will die, to whom are you going to talk to…my soul?” Questions raised by the President to the rowdy crowd.

Anyway, the peace process is a very delicate issue.

A 50-year-old insurgency, the longest running Maoist organization in Asia, it is not as easy as eating an apple to resolve the root cause of the insurgency problem.

After all, it is the system that breeds the insurgent mind. Growing in squalid poverty and economic deprivation, is one of the main causes why they take up arms.

travelled from her home in Northern Metro Manila to join older members of the Church in a preaching mission among the youth of Taguig City.

She didn’t make it to the rendezvous point with the other AND KNK members because inside the bus that she took to go to Taguig City, she was subjected to sexual harassment and molestation by three adolescent young men who appeared to have been in cahoots with the driver and conductor of the bus.

As soon as the female young AND KNK member managed to escape from the bus, she called me, and in between hysterical sobbing, she tried to tell me of her sad experience. Coordinat-

ing with kind souls who guarded her after the incident, I managed to direct her relatives to where she could be found, and, as of the posting of this column, she was already home once again.

to Iligan City since the Marawi siege two months ago. The security threat in the city remains high,” Regencia said.

Pantoja also denied that the protesters in Iligan City Plaza were not arrested Monday.

He said that the leaders of a group of about 30 students who were holding a protest rally Monday were only invited after the date of the rally permit was reportedly tampered.

The protesters were originally allowed to hold the protest rally on July 20, 2017, but they tampered the date to July 24, 2017, Pantoja said.

However, he said, that the students were allowed to hold the rally, but ultimately dispersed when the people started to mill around the Iligan City Plaza to watch and listen the SONA of President Rodrigo Duterte Monday afternoon.

May taong matapang, may duwag pa Ang agwat ng dalawa’y di kayang sukatin.

Mayroong ang tuwa damdam sa malayo, Ang dusa ng iba ay tinik sa puso, Mayroon ding galit, lagablab ay puno, Katapat ay habag, pagdamay, pangako!

Di ba’t kay Adan lang tao ay nabuhay?

Iba’t-ibang lahi ngayo’y nag-aaway!

Di kayang malirip ng mortal na diwa, Diyos na imortal siyang may pakana Tao’y uod lamang, gahul ang unawa, Di kayang tarukin habi ng tadhana!

border of Iligan City and Luga -it, Tuesday morning.

“The convoy of multisectoral protesters comprising the youth, outof-school-youth, farmers, labor groups, religious, and human rights lawyers decided to disperse and go home to Cagayan De Oro City,”Goaynon said.

He said that the convoy of protesters left Cagayan De Oro City Monday morning to hold a “People’s State of the Nation Address” in Iligan City, but stayed overnight midway in the municipal town of Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental because of the military and police checkpoints.

However, Goaynon said, the protesters were not harassed or threatened by the military and police manning the checkpoints.

“The checking and verification of identification of the participants made it difficult for the protesters to reach Iligan City as scheduled. Worst , the convoy was not allowed to enter Iligan City Tuesday morning,” he said.

Martial law is “unconventional way of developing Mindanao” - Pimentel Congressional Gold Medal presentation to Filipino World War II veterans set this year

By Jon Melegrito

The Congressional Gold Medal presentation to Filipino World War II Veterans is planned for October 2017.

Plans are underway for a national celebration honoring Filipino World War II veterans, whose service and sacrifice have been finally recognized by the U.S. with the passage last year of the Filipino Veterans of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2015, which is now enshrined as Public Law 114-265.

The Congressional Gold Medal (CGM) is one of the highest civilian awards bestowed by the United States for persons or groups who have performed an achievement that have an impact on American history and culture.

American citizenship is not a requirement. In particular, this award is a public expression of the U.S. Congress’ gratitude on behalf of the nation for the distinguished contributions of 260,000 Filipino soldiers and guerrillas during World War II in the Philippines.

Traditionally, the CGM is formally presented to the awardees by the Speaker of the House. This year, the national celebration coincides with the formal award presentation of the medal to Filipino World War II veterans

by House Speaker Paul Ryan. The presentation has not been scheduled, but could be held as early as October or November of this year.

At the award ceremony, slated to be held on Capitol Hill, surviving Filipino and American veterans or their next-of-kin will receive bronze replicas of the CGM and a framed copy of Public Law 114-265. Expected to attend are Congressional sponsors, Philippine Government officials, Presidential Cabinet members, high ranking general officers from the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, veterans advocates, community leaders and supporters and other dignitaries.

The Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project (FilVetREP), the proponent of the CGM legislation and the official national point of contact for all CGM activities, is working closely with the U.S. Mint and offices of Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (DHI) to accelerate completion of the CGM’s minting and production of at least 500 bronze replicas. FilVetREP is led by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba (U.S.A. Ret.) and his executive team composed of Marie Blanco, Erick Soriano, Jon Melegrito and Ben de Guzman.

National Celebration Plans. “We secured the Congressional Gold Medal to honor our veterans and demonstrate our deepest gratitude for their supreme sacrifice,” said FilVetREP Chairman Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba (Ret).

“We will ensure that our national celebration of this historic achievement is one that treats our veterans with the utmost dignity and respect. We are, therefore, calling on all our supporters to make this important event happen.

It’s for our veterans and they deserve to have a memorable event.”

Taguba also notes that not all recipients of the medal may not be able to come to Washington due to their age and physical condition. Regional award ceremonies are being considered in the West Coast, Midwest and the South to accommodate veterans who are not able to travel to Washington.

There are also plans for Filipino veterans residing in the Philippines to receive their bronze replicas in Manila.

It is anticipated that this will be handled by the Philippine Veterans Administration Office (PVAO) and Philippine Office of National Defense.

National Registry. Bronze replicas will be awarded only to surviving veterans or their next-of-kin whose eligibility for CGM has been vetted and whose names are included in FilVetREP’s national veterans registry.

“It is essential that veterans and their families register as soon as possible to make sure they are included in the See veterans, page 11

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews) — Martial law Duterte style is an “unconventional way of developing the whole of Mindanao,” former Senate President Aquilino Pimentel, Jr., said.

In a statement sent to MindaNews Saturday night, the elder Pimentel, father of the incumbent Senate President and a victim of human rights violation under Marcos’ martial law said it might be premature to say at this stage that President Rodrigo Duterte, whom he described as a “uniquely thinking leader,” and the legislators are wrong.

Congress in joint session on Saturday voted 261-18 to grant the request of Duterte to extend martial law and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus until 31 December 2017.

“Looks like the people through their elected representatives have just expressed their desire to uphold an unconventional way of developing the whole of Mindanao via the ML (martial law) process initiated by a uniquely thinking leader of the nation,” Pimentel said.

“To speculate that abuses might taint the good intentions of the administration seem distant considering that unlike the Marcos martial law, the imposition of martial law

in this period of our history is circumscribed by a number of safeguards,” he said, citing at least six: by Congress itself, as defined in the Constitution; by the military and the law enforcers themselves, exercising restraint as Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Eduardo Ano vowed before the people.

Lorenzana is the martial law adminsitrator while Ano is hte martial law implementor.

A third safeguard is by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, “who, speaking for the President,

vowed strict government supervision on the implementation of martial law to ensure that the rights and liberties of the people remain secure.”

The other safeguards are by the Supreme Court’s coming in through appropriate cases file before it; by the media “that remains free and unfettered;” and by the “people’s vigilance in the assertion and protection of their rights and liberties.”

Pimentel acknowledged that “man-made remedies against the ills of society are always susceptible to error and abuse” but ex-

of www . pimentelinstitute . org

pressed belief that “adequate remedies are available to us when the times call for their application.”

Until then, Pimentel concluded, “good faith and good will may be assumed to have been President Duterte’s motivating factors for the imposition of martial law in Mindanao and its extension as mandated by Congress.”

“God bless our country and people,” he said.

Transforming Mindanao into “Land of Fulfillment” While Pimentel spoke of “developing the whole of Mindanao,” Presidential Spokesperson Ernie Abella talked of transforming Mindanao into a land of fulfillment” as he welcomed the congressional vote.

“The nation has chosen to stand united in defending the Republic,” Abella said, adding the extension of martial law is “essential to the overall peace and stability.”

He said the rebellion in Marawi continues to persist and “we want to stop the spread of the evil ideology of terrorism and free the people of Mindanao from the tyranny of lawlessness and violent extremism.”

With the debate over the extension done with, Abella urged the public to help in nation-building and contribute to the attainment of the “full promise of Mindanao.”

“There is much work to be done to bring back public safety and law and order in the whole island of Mindanao. There is much work to be done in the recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation of Marawi. Together, let us transform Mindanao into a land of fulfillment,” Abella said. (Carolyn O.

Cebu Pacific to provide airlift support to wounded soldiers, cops in Marawi CEB to provide free cargo for relief goods for Marawi Cebu Pacific Air (PSE: CEB) will be providing airlift support to military and police personnel wounded in action (WIA) in Marawi City. On top of the free airlift on Cebu Pacific flights, the WIA government troops will also get baggage allowance of up to 40 kilograms.

In cooperation with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP), this initiative aims to augment air support by the Philippine Air Force by helping move wounded government troops from field hospitals in the area to larger medical facilities of the AFP and PNP. Through this, field medical stations can be declogged, giving way for wounded soldiers and police personnel who need immediate medical attention.

“It is with deep gratitude

that we accept this kind gesture of support by Cebu Pacific led by its President and CEO, Mr Lance Gokongwei, in the airlift of our heroes Wounded in Action in Marawi. This will not just afford our troops immediate treatment in hospitals that offer better facilities to aid their speedy recovery, but a meaningful gesture to make your Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines feel that their sacrifices are being recognized and appreciated,” says Marine Colonel Edgard Arevalo, Chief of the AFP’s Public Affairs Office.

“The officers and rankand-file of the Philippine National Police and our families are grateful for this magnanimous expression of kindness and compassion by the management of Cebu Pacific to provide life-saving medical evacuation to po-

licemen who are wounded in fighting local terrorists in Mindanao. This is not the first time that Cebu Pacific extended a helping hand to our troops. We cannot thank them enough for keeping the Filipino spirit of ‘Bayanihan’ alive in such crucial time of emergency,” says Police Chief Superintendent Dionardo Carlos, Chief of the PNP Public Information Office.

WIA government troops who are fit enough for commercial flights can be accommodated on Cebu Pacific flights from Cagayan de Oro (Laguindingan Airport), and flown to any CEB domestic destination.

Currently, Cebu Pacific has direct flights from Cagayan de Oro to Bacolod; Tagbilaran, Bohol; Cebu; Davao; Iloilo and Manila. By July 26, CEB will also fly direct between Cagayan de Oro

Land values still remained high and unchanged despite martial law. Value of land in prime areas of Davao has significantly increased in the second quarter of 2017.

However tourism and hotel sector were affected by the martial law. Data sourced from the Davao City Investment Promotions Center showed 78 functions/ events were cancelled

Of the seven hotels surveyed five hotels showed 10%-25% decrease in hotel bookings, while two hotels had a 25 to 100% dropped in bookings.

The decrease in tourism bookings can be attributed to the fear of tourists from outside Mindanao that the terrorist attack in Marawi might happen in Davao City.

Biblical reflection

Be angry, and yet do not sin The Gospel of Jesus Christ (July26, 2017-Wednesday)John 2:13-25”The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of

the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.” His disciples remembered that it was written, “ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME

What is educational supervision

By SILVINO D. GUANGCO Jr. Teacher I Montol NHS

CAREERS in educational supervision include being a principal and could involve keeping a school running on a day-to-day basis. Educational supervision is a term used to identify the work duties of administrative workers in education. Educational supervisors make sure the educational institution operates efficiently and within the legal requirements and rules.

The concept of supervision is based on the fact of improvement of instruction is a cooperative project. It’s concerned to stimulate, coordinate, guide and make the teacher self directive.

Supervision can be called superior vision. It is the vision which has the mission.

It is looking forward and has large scope for growth of education.

Supervision is assistance in the development of a better teaching/learning situation. It has gradually moved from improvement of instruction to improvement of learning. It is an expert technical service primarily concerned with studying and improving the conditions that surround learning and pupil growth.

There are various types of educational supervisors.

The corrective type tries to find fault, makes record of drawback of teacher, brings notices to higher authority, rarely gives suggestion, fault finder, does not serve any useful purpose. The preventive type helps teachers, anticipates new situations and better than corrective.

So which type are you?

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple.

Getting angry actually is not a sin as long as, you know how to handle this and put this in an exact situation. It was done by Jesus inside at the temple because he witnessed the wrong doings of the lead-

ers and the Pharisees.

Take note, Jesus has the right to get angry but we have no right to do that because once and for all, we have also lapses and mistakes. Jesus cleansed the physical temple which reminds us to preserve the sacredness of it. You need

STEM focusing on math

By BRENDA OCAMPOS ACIERTO Administrative Aide VI Department of Education, Division of Ozamis City

THE common denominator for entry into the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) track is the ability to successfully complete highlevel math courses. There is no getting around this requirement in order to obtain degrees in majors like engineering, computer science and chemistry.

There may not be one magic bullet that will increase the diversity of students in STEM but placing a laser-like focus on academic achievement in mathematics will help more students get past entry-level courses like calculus.

Junior high schools can design and/or expand summer bridging programs that

focus extensively on building competency in mathematics for students who are interested in majoring in STEM fields but lack strong math backgrounds.

They can also dedicate funding streams to support summer learning opportunities for current students who need to catch up on math courses in order to stay on track to graduate within four years.

An accelerated level of

student-to-student tutoring opportunities and other wraparound support services would also be helpful.

It will ultimately be up to students to take the initiative to utilize these services.

Students must have the will and desire to get over the roadblocks they will inevitably encounter in these courses. They need a consistent support system to encourage them to not get weaker but to dig deeper.

Computer classes are diversifying

By MARIBEL DINULOS VALE Administrative Aide VI Department of Education, Division of Ozamis City

JUNIOR high school students in this country are taking more computer classes than ever before.

For women hoping to have careers in computer engineering, this kind of early training can make all the difference.

The field of computer science is growing so fast it outpaces all other occupations in the Philippines. It’s

great work if you can get it.

The gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) isn’t exactly surprising. Women only make up 29 percent of the STEM workforce. But there is some hope amid all that gender disparity.

More and more girls are taking science, engineering and technology classes in

school. In particular, one subject is thriving: computer science.

So the challenge now is to make computer education more fun. Technology has certainly made its way into schools and more educators are using various devices to enhance education. Using these devices has helped to shift the way parents and teachers think about public education and the need for computer science courses in schools.

Given the chance to learn through games helps children understand real-world problems and approach them in logical, computational and mathematical terms.

When children learn through a programming perspective, they gain access to powerful critical thinking skills that allow them to identify the essential steps of solving a problem in order to tackle new variations with ease.

award ceremony,” Taguba adds.

Applications and instructions for submission may be downloaded from FilVetREP’s website, www.filvetrep.org.

Each of the FILVETREP regional directors are responsible for contacting the veterans and families to help them register.

Bronze replicas are not funded by the U.S. government, but rather by donations from the public. Donations to support FilVetREP’s CGM activities are accepted through the FilVetREP website.

CGM Design and Approval Process. In the past several months, FilVetREP has been meeting with the U.S. Mint’s Office of Design Management in providing significant input and recommendations to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and the Commission on Fine Arts (CFA).

The U.S. Mint is the nation’s sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage, commemorative coins and congressional gold medals, and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the nation to conduct its trade and commerce.

CCAC is an advisory committee established in 2003 by Congress under Public Law 108-15 to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on the themes and designs of all U.S. coins and medals; CFA is an independent federal agency charged with giving expert advice on matters of design and aesthetics, as they affect the federal interest and preserve the dignity of the nation’s capital.

As Chairman of FilVetREP, Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba (U.S. Army Ret) was designated as the official liaison to the U.S. Mint by Sen. Mazie Hirono and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, co-sponsors of the CGM legislation.

On January 17, FilVetREP held its initial meeting with the U.S. Mint’s Office of Design Management. The team include FilVetREP executive officers Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, Marie Blanco, Ben de Guzman, Jon Melegrito and Erick Soriano, legal counsel.

At this meeting, the FilVetREP team presented possible themes, text, photos and graphics that would be useful to the assigned artists and illustrators.

On February 15, FilVetREP met with the CCAC. The presentation included screening of the documentary, “Duty to Country,” and a discussion of all the artistic, political and historical themes and elements that would inform the design process.

A kick-off meeting with the six (6)U.S. Mint artists assigned to the project was held on March 22. A month later, the artists completed 43 candidate designs based on the instructions provided by the CCAC. FilVetREP then reviewed each obverse (front) and reverse (back) designs for historical/technical accuracy and appropriateness. After several rounds of feedback and suggested modifications, the team narrowed down its selection to seven of the front and three of the back.

On May 22, a meeting with the U.S. Mint led to the selection of the top three designs, which were presented to the

CFA on June 15. The CFA agreed with FilVetREP’s design preferences and modifications.

On June 21, the 11-member CCAC approved the recommendations of FilVetREP for the CGM design. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, who has the final approval, is expected to concur and give the U.S. Mint the official go ahead to have the medal minted this summer.

The minting process, which typically takes about three months, basically involves translating a 14-page legislation (i.e., Public Law 114265) into a graphic design engraved on a 3-inch medal minted in solid gold. The CGM legislation provides that the Smithsonian Institution will be the repository for the CGM where it will be available for display and research. The CGM legislation also requires the Smithsonian Institution to make the CGM available for display elsewhere. Currently, the plan is for the CGM to be permanently housed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History or another national museum of similar repute.

Digital Exhibition and Education Program. The next phase of the CGM project is to create a digital exhibition and education program that will be accessible to public schools and the public. It will include a complete history of the Filipino veterans’ role in World War II, timelines, testimonies, personal stories, photographs, videos and other artifacts.

“This American story of Filipino soldiers fighting under the U.S. flag in Bataan, Corregidor and other places, and helping liberate a U.S. sovereign territory only to be denied the benefits promised them, must be told widely and preserved for posterity for generations to come,” Taguba said.

“It is a story we all should be proud of.”

ABOUT THE FILIPINO VETERANS RECOGNITION AND EDUCATION PROJECT The Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project is a nonpartisan, communitybased, all-volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission is to raise awareness through academic research and public information for, and obtain national recognition of, Filipino and Filipino-American World War II soldiers in the United States and the Philippines for their wartime service to the U.S. and the Philippines from July 1941 to December 1946, It was organized as a nonstock, nonprofit corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt public charity under IRS regulations.

It is not anymore. With the advent of state-of-the-art technology and the endless flow of communication, any person who wants to discover something out of curiosity, has now an access to all the information that he wants.

In other words, understanding the political and social ills is like watching

Wednesday, July 26, 2017 the “You Tube” or listening to the top 100 songs in the billboard. Nothing comes a surprise anymore.

On the contrary, it would be a surprise for someone who has gone to a primary school on knowing that a neighbor has no idea about smartphones, laptops, and computer.

But, despite the advancement in communication, science, and technology, there are still people out there who lived in deprivation. People who believed that the government has left them in the oblivion.

People who believed they were never given a chance to improve their lives. People who could not cope up with the pace of the changing society. Incredible, but it is true.

If not, why fight for land reform? If not, why fight for better education and access to free and better health care? If not, why the bureaucracy remains antipoor and discriminatory? If not, why millions remained homeless and deprived of basic necessities in life? Getting the right answer to these questions would definitely unlock the doorway toward lasting peace.

a deadline for the submission of entries. The French Embassy would not anymore accept late entries. After I was through with my drawing, I rolled it up, wrapped it, wrote on it the usual “From…” and “To…” and brought it the Post Office. But sad to say, there was no Postal workers inside. The office was empty and silent. I waited, thinking the workers went out for a snack although it was not yet the break time for them to take their snacks.

After the lapse of one hour, no one appeared. I was dismayed and went home with an aching heart. I was not able to post my entry.

I was not able to beat the postmark deadline. It really was a sad experience for me although I did not expect that my drawing would win.

to continue working for God, sharing His Word with young children everywhere, to prevent them from becoming sexual perverts and fiends like you. If you, or your master the devil thought that she is done with her work of propagating the Gospel because of what you’ve done, you are dead wrong!

-oooNOTHING WILL STOP AND KNK’S WORK TO PROCLAIM THE WORD: In fact, for the record, even in the face of problems and unpleasant experiences like what this young female AND KNK went through, and even in the face of

illnesses afflicting AND KNK preachers---like the stroke that Pastora Ciony Cabanella suffered just a month or so ago---the work of propagating the truth that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit will be pursued by the AND KNK. After jus a few days after being hit by that stroke, Pastora Ciony is up and about again, praise God! We know there are obstacles that the enemies of Jesus, our God and Savior, will throw against AND KNK members in fulfilling their mission of proclaiming the Word and saving souls based on the truth that Jesus is God and Savior, and is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but, as Paul said in his many epistles, there is no comparing the glory that believers who will be true to Jesus will be crowned with at the appropriate time.

My only hope and prayer, as the current Leader Disciple of AND KNK, is that, those men and women who were chosen by God even before the creation of the world to do His work, and who are being sent by Jesus to victoriously accomplish this work, would now be awakened from their stupor.

the conflict in Marawi since people from these localities use these roads to buy goods in the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro. For the two entry points to be made accessible for the traffic of relief assistance and basic commodities, Adiong said the military will have to put up more checkpoints along these roads and additional troops to man them.

These were closed following the intense fighting between the government forces and extremist fighters in Marawi which runs for more than two months already.

But the lawmaker said the roads will be strictly for medical and humanitarian relief operations, including the entry of the “rolling store” of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to transport and sell affordable commodities to communities surrounding Marawi.

The rolling store, he said, would bring in regularlypriced rice and other basic goods.

near Marawi as traders, finding it hard to source out merchandize when the roads were closed to the public, have to increase their commodities owing to their scarcity.

A 50-kilo bag of rice, for instance, which was priced at P2,000, could now be bought at P6,000 in some towns.

Adiong tentatively set the opening of Guimba bridge and Matampay highway on Wednesday, July 26.

“If opened, it would at least [give access to] traffic of goods and relief assistance. It would be convenient and more accessible,” Adiong said in an interview by phone Monday morning.

Various Maranaw groups have also asked the government to have these entryways be made accessible.

In a resolution, leaders from such groups as Sautol Haqq (Voice of Truth), Marawi Sultanate League, Muslim World LeagueLanao Chapter, Lanao Muslim Professional Association, Islamic School of Southern Philippines, among others, have asked President Rodrigo Duterte to order the military to open these roads.

Lawyer Salic Dumarpa,

Sautol Haqq president, said they have sent copies of the resolution to the Office of the President and to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) through courier mail on Monday.

Since the Guimba bridge and the Matampay highway have already been cleared by the government forces, Dumarpa said it would be best to open them to the public so evacuees could travel to their relatives in other parts of Lanao del Sur. These cleared portions are the roads from Guimba bridge going to Basak area, passing through Rorogagus, Guimba, Papandayan, and Mipantao Gadonga (Lasureco); and from Matamapay national highway going to Malabang, passing through the Lanao del Sur Provincial Capitol, Awar Street-East Basak, then to Basak Malutlut national highway.

“For humanitarian reason and to serve public interest, it behooves upon the Armed Forces of the Philippines to open the immediately preceding roads to the public, subject to such reasonable conditions as maybe required by the AFP in the interest of Security,” read a part of the multisectoral group resolution.

Anti-SONA rally in Davao City peaceful DAVAO CITY-- Police have declared peaceful the rally launched by leftist groups in Davao City.

But Davao Region’s top police official hit leftists over display of coffins to express grievances on the killings of their comrades in time for the State of the Nation Address (Sona) of President Rodrigo Duterte Monday afternoon.

“Style nila bulok ! Puro cinematics ,” said Police Regional Office (PRO) XI
