138 communist supporters, fighters in Mindanao yield

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City--A total of 138 communist supporters and members of the New People’s Army (NPA) surrender to the military on various occasions in different areas in Northern Mindanao, a military report said.

Maj. Regie H. Go, the spokesperson of the army’s 4ID in Cagayan De Oro City, that a certain Junex, 18, an NPA regular and 19 other “Militia ng Bayan” in Surigao del Sur

surrendered three days ago.

He said that prior to the surrender of Junex and his group, 24 NPA members, 10 of them regulars yielded to the army’s 58IB in Claveria, Misamis Oriental.

Junex surrendered an M16 rifle armed with an M203 grenade launcher while his supporter also turned over a total of 20 homemade shotguns.

Go said that a week ago, a total of 94 communist supporters in four outskirt villages in See FIGHTERS, page 11

THE Philippines is slowly aging, according to a study of state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).

Citing a United Nations data, the research paper titled “Are We Missing Out on the Demographic Dividend? Trends and Prospects” projected that the country will transition to an ‘aging society’. This will become evident when the elderly, aged 65 or older, will already comprise at least seven percent of the total population by 2032. We will further

transition to an ‘aged society’ when the share of the elderly population is already at least 14 percent by 2069.

The findings of the study were presented by one of its authors, PIDS Research Fellow Michael Abrigo, in a public seminar organized by the Institute recently.

The rising number of old people, according to Abrigo, may pose a heavy burden on the country’s resources. He was, however, quick to add that the same economic and demographic See SOCIETY, page 11

DSWD turns over 50 core shelter units to residents of Cabanglasan, Bukidnon

SECRETARY Rolando Joselito Bautista, Jr., Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, ceremoniously turned over fifty (50) DSWD core shelter units to internally displaced families affected by the 2011 Tropical Storm Chedeng that hit Cabanglasan, Bukidnon last June 28, 2019.

DSWD-10 Regional Director Mari-Flor A. Dollaga-Libang stated during her project briefing that the Field Office identified 60 families to become recipients of the DSWD Core Shelter Assistance Program which is one of the interventions of the DSWD under the Disaster Mitigation and Preparedness. The 60 families, as per assessment by the Local Government Unit of Cabanglasan, were reported to be “badly hit” by the said storm.

With an allocation of P4,200,000.00, DSWD constructed 50 shelter units under the said program in Barangay Eba, Cabanglasan, while the Local Government Unit of Cabanglasan shouldered the ten (10) core shelter units as their counterpart to the project.

Each unit costs P70,000.00.

Director Dollaga-Libang also explained that the Core Shelter Assistance Program (CSAP) aims to provide environment friendly, struc-

turally strong shelter units that can withstand up to 220 kph wind velocity and earthquakes up to intensity 4 of the Richter Scale. She added that the family who were displaced by Tropical Storm Chedeng can now call their newly built houses their homes.

The ceremonial turnover of the 50 core shelter units was done during the launching of the Convergence Areas for Peace and Development (CAPDev), the banner program of

Northern Mindanao that addresses the root causes of internal armed conflict and insurgency in the region.

In keeping with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s Executive Order No. 70, also known as “Institutionalizing the Whole-of-Nation Approach in Attaining Inclusive and Sustainable Peace, Creating a National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, and Directing the Adoption of a National Peace Framework,” See SHELTER, page 9

DSWD Secretary Rolando Joselito Bautista, together with PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar, graces the turn-over of 50 DSWD core shelter units by handing over a symbolized key to Mr. Generoso Mendoza, President of the Senior Citizens Federation of Cabanglasan, Bukidnon, representing the 60 displaced families who were affected by Tropical Storm Chedeng in 2011.

CLASSES have officially started but way before students enter their classrooms weeks ago, Hedcor made sure that students were school-ready.

Through the assistance of volunteer employees, Hedcor’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team conducted its annual school supplies donations and Brigada Eskwela activities across various schools in Mindanao.

School-ready with brand new school supplies Complete with notebooks, pencils, crayons and other school supplies, over 2,800 students are now equipped with brand new materials for the school year through Hedcor’s school supplies distribution. These school supplies kits also aim to double as a source of motivation for the students to attend their classes and study harder.

These students hail from 10 recipient schools

RC Kalayaan donates school supplies TO welcome the new Rotary Year, the Rotary Club of Kalayaan CdO together with representatives from Capitol University Medical Center (CUMC) visited FS Catanico Elementary School Camansi Extension this morning to distribute school supplies and hygiene kits to the 123 pupils of the indigenous peoples education (IPED) extension school. The pupils were also taught about the basics of good nutrition and were served nutritious lunch afterwards.

S Catanico Elementary School Camansi Extension is situated in barangay F.S. Catanico and is eight kilometers from the

barangay proper. DENR granted the city government and the Department of Education a special permit to build a school building to serve the pupils who belong to the Higaonon Tribe.

Before the extension school, the students had to walk for four hours daily just to attend classes in the main campus in F.S. Catanico or in Malasag ES. Last year, Rotary Club of Kalayaan CdO built a water system as well as a hand washing facility and comfort rooms for the pupils of the extension school. A reading center is also currently being built by the Club to serve the pupils of the school.

COWD joins tree planting activity on Labor Day A staunch supporter of environmental projects, COWD joined other government agencies like DPWH, DOH, City Health Office, the Philippine Army, BJMP, Brgy. Pagalungan LGU and many other groups on July 4, 2019 to plant around 500 Narra seedlings in celebration of Arbor Day. Arbor Day (or Arbour; from the Latin arbor, meaning tree) is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant trees. Today, many countries observe such a holiday.

Since 1947, Arbor Day in the Philippines has been institutionalized to be observed throughout the nation by planting

trees and ornamental plants and other forms of relevant activities.

Proclamations have been instituted directing “the active participation of all government agencies, including governmentowned and controlled corporations, private sector, schools, civil society groups and the citizenry in tree planting

activity”. In 2012, Republic Act 10176 was passed, which revived tree planting events “as a yearly event for local government units” and mandated the planting of at least one tree per year for able-bodied Filipino citizens aged 12 years old and above (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Arbor_Day).

Helping the Poor: A Meaningful Purpose in Life LIKE many a human who has reached a certain age, I’ve spent a lot of my adult life going to weddings. And last month for me was filled with wedding celebrations and parties.

And going to these recent lavish events, most of the guests, I have obviously noticed, were sporting high-status brands of clothes, shoes, jewelries and bags – and a new set of luxury goods after another event! Surely, while wearing luxury brands boosted their perceived status, I found, amongst them, the lack of any serious conversation.

It seemed like they’re just all up to impressing people

around them, whom, I am certain, they don’t even like to begin with.

This I firmly believe: flaunting luxury goods in order to show off is such a waste of money. Money as a resource can be meaningfully spent or converted to something of its worth, like something that needs more attention.

To the affluent, conspicuous luxury consumption – donning branded clothes, riding luxury car – truly is something normal. But to the underprivileged, money spent to these luxurious possessions can mean a lot to them. Out there, one can be shopping for an expensive

school bag while another is struggling to go to school.

Life doesn’t start or end with expensive belongings.

I think for most people spending money for expensive things mainly as a matter of showing off isn’t an intelligent move, especially for educated people, who know how the world is moving financially. This is money that can be used later when need arises, or more even to help other people who are in dire need.

I do hope that people will start to realize that expensive material things don’t add real value to life, thus spending too much on a mere wedding outfit is

unnecessary extravagance.

People need to think beyond their comfortable zone and walk away from such situations that are really beyond their means. Say, think about decades of problems like poverty.

The CYNOSURE

Politicians now start eyeing 2022 local polls

JUST as the newly elected public officials started to report to their offices July 1, the preparations for the next election in 2022 are also starting to roll.

This is not new in politics.

In fact, politics mold our everyday lives. The truth is the delivery of the basic services to the constituents is always laced with political undertone.

Preparing the political playing field is like nurturing a seed. Clearing the surroundings and making sure that the soil is fertile are basics prior to sowing the seeds.

While there are common ways of preparing the land for sowing the seeds, there are

other ways that sometimes defy the tradition. The same is true in politics. Some follow the traditional ways of organizing and mobilizing the community with the aim of getting supporters cum followers.

In most cases, a politician tests the waters to find out whether the water is shallow or deep. Some called this a metaphoric approach to find out whether the atmosphere is favorable or not.

Thus, it would not come a surprise when one or two politicians would announce their political preferences this earlier.

One took notice of Vice Mayor elect Peter Unabia, of

Gingoog City, who announced that we would run for governor of Misamis Oriental in 2022. Unabia might be joking. However, for the keen political observers, Unabia’s statement holds water.

First, Unabia is capable and eligible to run for any government post. In fact, he ran and won the vice mayoral post in Gingoog after completing his terms as Representative of the First District of Misamis Oriental.

Unabia is not only capable and eligible – his political war arsenal is loaded with all the weapons to win any political battle. An astute and a successful businessman, Unabia is also a veteran in

Cris Diaz

many political encounters.

Matter of fact, Unabia’s pronouncement to run for governor in 2022 is a challenge to would be political opponents. Who would take Unabia’s challenge? That is what the pronouncement meant to be. Certainly, the challengers will come in due time.

Whether the challenger is worth or not, only the people could decide.

In the meantime, let us find out how the elected politicians fare in their elected post.

Think A Minute

Like father like son

THINK a minute.

Not long ago a famous movie star and his son were put in jail for doing illegal drugs together. Being busted for drugs together is quite a tragic father-son bonding activity! But proves yet once again: “Like father, like son.”

Ask yourself: “Do I want my son to be like me?”

Our sons learn to follow our example both by our words and by our ways.

The things that we tell our children are important will become the things that are important to them.

Walter Reuther, the labor leader of the United Auto Workers in the U.S., was deeply influenced by his father who was a union organizer. Reuther’s father taught his sons at home how to debate major issues.

Their father said: “It was no accident that three of my sons became leaders of labor unions.”

However, we fathers

teach our sons far more by our daily ways of living than by our words. Our son watches, listens and learns from the way we work, the way we play, and the way we treat people every day.

“Actions speak louder than words,” so our sons learn mostly from our daily example. “More is caught than taught.” Someone said: “Till a boy is 15 he does what his father says; after that, he does what his father does.”

A young man told his father: “When I was young I usually did not listen when you were telling me about right and wrong. But what influenced me most was watching you every day.

I imitated what you were, not what you said.”

A major study was done of wealthy families with teenage sons in trouble with the law. Though the fathers told their sons to be honest, hardworking and respectful of others, those same fathers

would cheat, lie, and make dishonest business deals. No wonder their sons were in trouble with the law! They followed their dad’s bad example and ways, not his words and speeches.

So Dad, ask yourself: “What is there about me I do not want my son to copy?

Do I have character worth copying?” Won’t you ask Jesus right now to forgive you for not living the way you know you should, and to help you start changing, so you can begin to truly walk your talk? That is the only way to get a confident and clear conscience, so you will want your son to be like you. ****************** A man was driving his car with his son when he was stopped by a policeman and given a ticket for speeding. The father was angry all the way home, talking about how he was going to get his friend at the

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

police department to “fix” it so he would not have to pay. Then, he was going to get revenge by making trouble for the policeman who gave him the ticket!

Later, the father realized what a bad example he had been to his son, so he told his son he had said things in anger that he should not have. He then took his son with him to court, admitted he was guilty, and paid the penalty. Your kids will walk as you walk, not as you talk. They follow your ways of living much more than your words about living.

Barter trade resumes next month DAVAO City--The Philippine government will resume next month the centuries-old barter trade at the border areas of Mindanao, Malaysia and Indonesia, an official of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) said.

The reopening came more than three years after Malaysia closed its border with southern Philippines sometime in April 2016 after the Abu Sayyaf kidnapped four Malaysians off Sabah coast.

Olie B. Dagala, director III at Investment Promotion and International Relations Office of MinDA, said during “Wednesdays’ at Habi at Kape” in Davao City that they are waiting for the 10-member Mindanao Barter Council (MBC) to complete the guidelines formalizing the cross-border trading, considered a “shadow economy” for lack of government regulation.

The MBC is tasked to “supervise, coordinate, and harmonize policies, programs on barter in Southern Philippines.”

President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed Executive Order 64 in October 2018 creating the MBC. The council consists of the Secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) as chairperson, MinDA chairperson and Bureau of Customs commissioner

as vice chairpersons, and representatives from the Department of Finance, Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Agriculture, DTI-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Maritime Industry Authority, Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Ports Authority as members.

“We want this economy to be formalized in order for them to dock at the formal ports and they will be taxed accordingly. It’s about making the ‘informal trade’ formal,” Dagala said.

He added this new approach enforced with regulations by the government will promote more “formal engagements” among the barter traders at the border areas.

MinDA assistant secretary Romeo Montenegro said the council has yet to issue comprehensive guidelines governing barter system, including, but not limited to, a mechanism for the valuation of barter goods, a list of allowable barter goods, and measures to prevent smuggling and circumvention of customs laws.

Aside from creating the guidelines, the council is also tasked to review existing policies, rules and regulations of government agencies that affect all aspects of barter trade, and submit recommendations to the President and Congress.

Montenegro said the non-conventional shipping vessels – jungkong, kumpit,

and lantsa – would be allowed to cross the maritime borders under the barter system because the traders have used them as the traditional modes of conveyance.

The barter trade offices established in Siasi and Jolo in Sulu and Bongao in Tawi-Tawi, where barter ports are also located, will coordinate and monitor the activities related to barter trading, he said.

Goods traded under the barter system will enter the Philippine territory only through the barter ports.

Montenegro said the players in the barter trade who have remained “informal, untaxed, unregulated, and unmonitored” would have an opportunity to join the formal trading.

our President and we are hopeful that the President will soon sign the bill into law to enhance the enjoyment of their constitutional rights to job security,” he said.

The labor chief on Monday has also submitted its recommendation for the enactment of the bill, emphasizing that the legislation will clarify the ambiguities in existing laws with defined types of employment arrangements. He also said that the Congress-approved measure will strengthen workers’ security of tenure by prohibiting unlawful contracting arrangements, and provide penalties for its violations.

The Senate Bill No. 1826

or the Security of Tenure or End Endo Act of 2018, was approved on third and final reading in May and later on adopted by the House of Representatives, bypassing the needed bicameral conference.

It has been certified as urgent in September last year fulfilling the President’s promise to put an end to the prevalent practices of contractualization and labor-only contracting, that saddled a big number workers and contributed to the country’s underemployment.

The enrolled bill could lapse into law if not acted upon within 30 days after it was enrolled in Malacañang. ###AbegailDeVega

Muslims, it is a way of life.

It connotes purity, cleanliness, safety, quality -- so many positive attributes that are now being recognized by non-Muslim consumers worldwide. Halal-certified products are associated with these attributes. Maximizing its opportunities will help the government in realizing President Rodrigo Duterte’s vision of providing better and comfortable lives for all Filipinos by creating more jobs. And we can do this by tapping Halal’s booming global market and taking advantage of more business opportunities,” said Sec. Lopez.

Out of the USD 2.6 trillion global Halal market, 62 percent is accounted by

food and beverages followed by pharmaceuticals at 22 percent, cosmetics and personal care at 10 percent and nutraceutical at 6 percent.

“We encourage our MSMEs, especially in the countryside, to develop their products, and explore the opportunities in the growing demand for Halal-certified products,” said Sec. Lopez.

Halal market is estimated to reach USD 10 trillion by 2025. Its food and beverage is expected to reach USD 1.93 trillion by 2022 from USD 1.25 trillion in 2016. A growing projection is also noted in Halal tourism, which accounted for USD 169 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 283 billion by 2022. Other services like the Islamic Finance and Islamic Commercial Banking combined accounted for USD 3 trillion in 2016 and is expected to reach more than USD 6 trillion by 2022.

“I am optimistic that with greater collaboration between various sectors, we can support more MSMEs, encourage them to do and grow their businesses, and help us in developing more Halal hubs in the country catering to domestic as well as export markets,” the trade chief said.

The conference also served as venue for DTI, as Chair of PH Halal Board, to officially launch PH Halal logo, which will be used for Halal products made in PH. “We would like to see notable exports of our Halal products in the future. With this logo, our products can be identified easily by consumers as Halal-certified products,” said Sec. Lopez.

The trade chief also shared that DTI’s accreditation bureau will implement a special window to cater to PH Halal Certification Bodies.

Davao City policewoman nabbed for office thefts DAVAO CITY -- A newly assigned patrolwoman of the Talomo Police Station here was arrested after she allegedly stole money from her colleague’s wallet inside the Women and Children’s Protection Desk (WCPD) office on Tuesday evening.

The suspect was identified as Pat. Rosa Lyn Sosas Molles, WCPD personnel, who was allegedly caught in a mobile phone video while in the act of stealing from another policewoman.

Brig Gen. Marcelo Morales, Police Regional Office 11 (Davao region) director, said Pat. Girly Ann B. Lahaylahay, Police Community Relations - Police Non-Commissioned Officer of the Talomo police, discovered that the money in her wallet amounting to PHP1,500 was already lacking PHP100.

Three barangays in the City of Mati now drug-cleared CITY OF MATI, Davao Oriental -- After successfully meeting the requirements set by the Dangerous Drugs Board Regulations number 3, series of 2017, three barangays in the City of Mati has been declared drug-cleared in a declaration and ceremonial signing on June 26 at the Sangguniang Panlungsod Session Hall, City of Mati.

Barangays Badas, Tagbinonga, and Mayo were declared drug-cleared in time for the celebration of the International Day of Anti-Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (IDDAIT).

Witnessed by the respective Punong Barangays and the drug reformists, the passage declaring the three barangays cleared from drugs was read by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Regional Director Antonio D. Rivera, who at the same time is the Chairman of the Regional Oversight Committee.

“After thorough assessment and validation pertinent to their compliance with the parameters as enumerated in section 8 Dangerous Drug Board Regulation Number 3, Series of 2017, I hereby declare Barangay Badas, Tagbinonga, all of City of Mati, Davao Oriental as drug-cleared barangays as of July 3, 2018, and Barangay Mayo, City of Mati, Davao Oriental as drug-cleared barangay as of June 26, 2019,” he said.

ered that the PHP500 in her wallet was missing.

Morales said the recorded videos showed that Molles was involved in both theft cases.

He said the suspect hurriedly placed the PHP100 in the office couch when she was approached by the apprehending officer and police witnesses.

While the amounts involved may seem small, “any wrongdoing is not tolerated under the Philippine National Police’s Internal Cleansing Program,” Morales said.

“I am dismayed by this incident involving another police officer into theft and victimizing fellow police officers. She will go through what other civilian people go through when they are caught stealing,” he added.

If proven guilty, Molles will be jailed and dismissed from the service, Morales said. (PNA)

DOTr earmarks P200-M for Mati airport rehab

By CHE PALICTE PNA

MATI CITY, Davao Oriental --The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has allocated PHP200 million for the rehabilitation of this city’s airport.

This was announced Monday by Governor Nelson Dayanghirang during the 52nd founding anniversary program of the province where he also bared that the airport may be operational by 2020.

Dayanghirang said the budget will be utilized for the rehabilitation and completion of the terminal building, extension of the runway, and fencing around the airport.

He added that he will be signing an Executive Order next week on the creation of Task Force that will facilitate negotiations with the settlers living near the airport.

However, the governor clarified that the settlers will not be affected during

the rehabilitation process.

“If it will be operational, more jobs will be offered to the people here since we will be expecting an influx of tourist arrivals,” he said.

The governor noted despite the airport’s current

condition, tourist arrivals reached 800,000 in 2018.

For the first quarter of this year, he said arrivals have already reached the 400,000 mark.

“How much more if the airport will be operational?

That’s why we plan to build an inland resort to add attraction to the tourists” he added.

The Mati airport was constructed in the 1970s and has a 1,628.85-meter runway. (PNA)

during big events in the city, such as Kadayawan Festival.

“They can wear their jacket again as soon as they have passed the inspection area,” he added.

The TF-Davao commander also announced their campaign to improve the culture of security within the organization, even as he urged the public to be vigilant and help in the implementation of

security measures imposed by the government.

“Be the eyes and ears by reporting suspicious persons and unattended baggage. It is very easy to neutralize a terrorist but the hardest part there is to identify them,” Yecla said.

He also reminded the public to practice the “no backpack policy” and the prohibition of bringing plastic containers in se-

lected public places.

“Help us in securing the city and denying the entry of these terrorists,” Yecla said.

TF-Davao has installed baggage scanners and body X-ray machines in major entries and exit points in the city which is in Sirawan, Lasang,, and Lacson.

The other one is installed in the Davao City Overland Transport Terminal (DCOTT). (PNA)

TF Davao to implement ‘no jacket policy’ DAVAO CITY -- Task Force Davao is set to implement the “no jacket policy” in all the entry and exit points here--including during local festivities--to further ensure the safety of Dabawenyos.

The new security measure came after the recent twin bombing in Sulu that killed eight individuals and left 12 wounded.

In a press conference on Wednesday, Col. Con-

solito Yecla, commander of TF-Davao, said they will discuss the new rule with the city government.

“This will only be done when you are approaching the entry points or inspection areas. With this, possible suicide bombers cannot penetrate to the city or to groups of people,” Yecla explained.

He added the new standard operating procedure will also be implemented

employees as their employers failed to pay their contributions. Social security coverage is one of the basic rights of every employee,” Ignacio said.

Of the 53 non-compliant business establishments, 14 were from Binondo in Manila, 13 from Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija, 11 from Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental, and 15 from Iligan City. The participating SSS branches are expected to collect P4.12 million worth of contribution delinquencies from these employers.

The RACE Team in Binondo visited 14 establishments for not registering their business to SSS while 13 establishments were also visited in Cabanatuan due to non-registration of business,

non-production of records, and non-remittance of SSS contributions.

In Dumaguete, 11 establishments received Show Cause Orders from the RACE Team due to nonremittance of SSS contributions and under-reporting of employees. SSS Dumaguete is expected to collect contribution delinquencies amounting to P1.70 million.

In Iligan, similar notices were also issued to six establishments due to non-reporting of employees, one for non-registration of business to SSS, and eight for non-remittance of SSS contributions with total delinquency worth of P2.42 million.

Teaching strategies for basic education

By JEMARIE P. CABABA Teacher I Sixto Maghanoy Sr. Central School

TEACHING strategies are used to strengthen your students’ literacy skills, nurture critical thinking and create a respectful classroom climate. They will keep the students motivated and engaged. An effective teacher chooses a strategy to fit a particular situation. Obviously, teaching strategies must be carefully matched to the lessons of the day. They can be classified into classroom discussion, creative expression, image analysis, kinaesthetic, student voice, synthesis, text analysis and video analysis.

As an example, 3-2-1 gauges students’ understanding and interest in a topic by asking them to write down takeaways, questions and something they enjoyed about a text

or film. Meanwhile, the alphabet brainstorm is an exercise to generate students’ thoughts, measure prior knowledge or check learning. In analysing images, it leads students in a critical analysis of an image that enhances their observational, interpretive and critical thinking skills. Annotating and paraphrasing sources teaches students to carefully read material by having them underline key words, write margin notes and summarize main ideas. Anticipation guides get students thinking about the ideas and themes that they’ll encounter in a unit or a text. And assigning roles for group make the students’ group work more effective by giving each member a specific role to play.

Security Law,” Ignacio said.

All employers subject to the RACE operations should show cause within a non-extendable period of fifteen days from notice or posting of the order why no legal action shall be taken against them.

“Our employers can avoid being subjected to RACE campaign by coordinating with the nearest SSS branch to comply with the law. Currently, we have a Contribution Penalty Condonation Program wherein employers can settle their unpaid premiums without paying any penalty,” Ignacio said.

“We encourage delinquent employers to avail themselves of this program and settle their obligations to SSS. The program will only run until September 1 this year. This is their opportunity to clean up their records to have a good standing with SSS and pay their obligations without paying penalties,” she added.

This is the second time the pension fund conducted a nationwide simultaneous RACE campaign. The first leg of the simultaneous RACE campaign was also held in Mandaluyong City, San Fernando City in Pampanga, Mandaue City in Cebu and Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte last June 14.

successfully doing their part for being at the frontline in the war against illegal drugs.

Vice Mayor Glenda Rabat-Gayta said the city government is proud of the current status of the three barangays, stressing that it is a manifestation of ensuring the sustainability of its drug-cleared status considering the huge population of the said barangays being at the economic center of the province.

“With the help of our PADAC Officer, and with the effort of our CADAC Officer, we have already cleared four, so five more to go. Why did it take us this long? Because Mati is the center of the province.

And we are not in a hurry because we wanted to do it right. We have to do it step by step and to ensure that once we declared cleared at least we can be proud to say it’s really cleared,” she said.

Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Council (PADAC) Action Officer and at the same time Provincial Administrator Art Benjie commended the City Anti-Drug Abuse Council’s (CADAC) achievement, saying that it is indeed a manifestation that the government is really serious with its campaign against illegal drugs.

Of the three barangays, only Barangay Mayo has been identified under the PDEA watchlist. But the CADAC still conducted clearing operations in the other two barangays due to the presence of drug personalities in the said areas.

Friday, July 5, 2019

“We want to address what is the real problem, what is the real score in the community. From about 79 barangays which are affected under the watchlist of PDEA, we are now on our 74th Barangay to be declared as drug cleared, and the first province, hopefully, to be declared as drug-free province in the region, in the whole island of Mindanao,” he said.

With only five remaining barangays not yet cleared from drugs, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Provincial Director Orle Cabaobao challenged all concerned stakeholders to beef up efforts in clearing the City from illegal drugs considering the possible approval of Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) Act by 2020.

“By 2020, SGLG will already be an act, unlike now that it is optional so it is alright to pass or not.

And maybe one indicator [to pass the seal] is being a drug-cleared city, so if the remaining barangays are not yet cleared, the city will not get the Seal,” he said.

City Planning and Development Officer Rosendo Linsag, who represented Mayor-elect Michelle Nakpil Rabat, said that City Government of Mati, in collaboration with all concerned agencies, “will do its best to clear the remaining barangays from drugs before the year ends.”

Also, Liga ng Barangay President Samuel Rodriguez manifested the barangay leader’s full support “in all drug-clearing activities from the national government down to the barangay

Public School Students in Panabo begin 2019 with better classrooms from Security Bank

SECURITY Bank Foundation continues to fulfill its promise of delivering better classrooms for public schools in the Philippines.

For its first project in 2019, the Bank’s corporation social responsibility arm turned over two newlyconstructed school buildings to public schools in Panabo City, Davao Del Norte - a two-storey, sixclassroom school building for Panabo Central Elementary School Special Education (SPED) Center and another two-storey, six-classroom school building for Panabo National High School Security Bank Foundation’s donation of twelve new and larger classrooms provided a ray of hope for the students.

“Dreams do come true that someday, dilapidated classrooms at this site will soon become a high-rise school building. The new building will help solve the

overcapacity of the school’s Grade 7 students,” said Memia Infiesto, Principal of Panabo National High School.

Rosemarie Patriarca, Principal of Panabo Central Elementary School SPED Center, recounted that the site of the newlyconstructed school building used to be the site of an old four-classroom building condemned for demolition. “Even though we lost classrooms during that time, we gained more of what we have lost,” said Patriarca.

The inauguration was graced by the local government led by Former Governor Hon. Rodolfo Del Rosario and Vice Mayor Hon. Janrey Gavina who expressed their overwhelming gratitude on behalf of Panabo City and the province of Davao Del Norte.

“On behalf of the people and the students here in Panabo, thank you very much for See SCHOOL, page 11

by Hon. Gavina.

The Schools Division Superintendent of the Department of Education Division of Panabo City, Dr. Dee Silva also expressed her admiration for Security Bank Foundation’s The Classrooms Project. “Sana hindi magsasawa ang Security Bank Foundation, Inc. sa pagbibigay ng mga classrooms hindi lamang dito sa Panabo, pati narin sa buong Pilipinas,” said Dr. Silva.

Security Bank Foundation is committed to continue reaching more areas in the Philippines to provide a conducive learning environment for Filipino learners. To date, the Foundation has already turned over 445 classrooms, benefitting 87 public schools in 47 cities and municipalities nationwide. For the rest of 2019, the Foundation is targeting the construction of 120 classrooms in various schools in the country, bringing the total classrooms donation of Security Bank Foundation to 565 by the end of the year.

from page 1 Franklin’s younger brother, Roberto, said the family previously made the calls for help through private messaging

only to protect the security of Salma.

“We are rolling out the possibility that she has been abducted because we cannot see indications. She left her cellular phone, we reviewed CCTV footage, we could not see any commotions during the time when she was at home,” the younger Quijano said in a phone interview.

The family had also checked on the different retreat houses and hotels in Nortern Mindanao but there was no indication that Salma had checked in there.

“She brought few pieces of her clothes and personal things, including a bank passbook, but there was no movement of her account when we had it check at the bank,” Roberto Quijano said.

Few months ago, Salma’s former yaya (nanny) died and the family observed her being quite and there was changes of her appettite.

“Salma was very close to her yaya who have taken cared of her since she was a little child.

The family also observed her mood swing... but she did not open up, there might be some reasons. But they (Franklin and Salma) did not fight, they are very sweet couple. They are members of the Couples for Christ,” Roberto said.

Jobs...

from page 1 accompanied by a special guest, the old “Datu Yukmo,” leader of the Higaonon tribal community, who came down from the hills to witness the inauguration of the newly elected city officials.

Cañosa said that “Datu Yukmo” exemplifies the frustration of the indigenous community toward the officials of Gingoog City for the city’s failure to look into the welfare of the tribal community.

He said that for the past two decades “Datu Yukmo” has never set foot in Gingoog City because he lost his trust and confidence of the city officials.

“I have to personally convince “Datu Yukmo” to witness the inaugural rites so that he will find for himself that the new administration is sincere in its desire to serve the IPs,” Cañosa said.

In his speech, Cañosa emphasized that his administration will look into the welfare of the tribal community to be sure that the basic services, especially health services, scholarship grants, and job opportunities are extended to the IPs. According to Cañosa, his administration will work hard to fulfill its election campaign platforms, which focused on agro-tourism development, livelihood and job opportunities to the people of Gingoog.

On Friday, the previous administration formally turned over the pertinent documents to Cañosa’s incoming administration.

During the turnover, outgoing City Mayor Marie Guingona dropped by briefly to congratulate the incoming City Mayor.

“The turnover was ceremonial in nature because there are still a lot of things to be done,” Cañosa said.

He said that he would call for a “special audit” to be able to validate the accuracy of the data in the documents turned over.

Cañosa also assured the people of Gingoog of positive changes that would propel progress in the component

Cañosa and his running mate, former Congressman Pedro Unabia, who ran for the city’s vice mayor after ending his term as Congressman, won in the local election in May this year.

For the people of Gingoog City, the victory of the CañosaUnabia tandem marked a new chapter in the city’s political landscape, once ruled by the Guingonas for 15 years.

from page 1 eventually lead to population aging also provide potentials for economic growth.

“Population aging is not a bad thing. It represents a story of our collective success as Filipinos. It means that we were able to conquer the challenges such as those related to income, health, and education,” he explained.

Still, it comes with both challenges and prospects. The government, he noted, is particularly affected as income tax, health insurance premiums, and pension contributions, as a proportion of the total population, may decline as a result of the demographic shift. This, in turn, may affect the sustainability of services that the government provides.

“More elderly people means more subsidies for healthcare expenses. Moreover, the elderly tend to have medical conditions that are more expensive on the average,” Abrigo said.

On the other hand, aging, along with rising life expectancy, also leads to higher savings and investment, hence, may result in faster economic growth and improved living standards. “Because we expect longer lifespan, we also tend to save more, and this leads to greater productivity,” he elaborated.

Called demographic dividends, these improvements in the material measures of well-being may arise, first, from the compositional effect of having more productive population relative to consumers, i.e., shrinking of the dependent age (0-14) group and expanding of the workforce (ages 15-64), and, second, from the behavioral changes induced by demographic change, i.e., rising savings and investments, that ultimately result in greater labor productivity.

Abrigo maintained that demographic dividends are just growth potentials and are not automatic as people still need to work to attain them.

Unlocking these potentials, he added, requires both responsive and effective policies.

Given that demographic dividends arise from the demographic transition brought by a decline in fertility rates, the PIDS study highlighted the importance of supporting families to achieve their desired fertility levels. However, it noted that an uneven decline in fertility rates across different populations could exacerbate inequality. Thus, it may be necessary, according to the study, for the government to continue providing cash transfers to ensure that no one gets left behind.

On the other hand, the study warned that public transfer programs could lead to unsustainable public debt burden in the longer term, especially when changes in the population age distribution, particularly population aging, are taken into account. Public debt, it noted, could increase to PHP 29.4 trillion by 2030 from PHP 6 trillion in 2015, and could reach

100 percent of the country’s primary income by 2060.

According to Abrigo, the government should not only look at income inequality but also at generational equity.

“Maybe this generation is very lucky because we all have these free public services such as free healthcare, free basic education, as well as free college education. But these paying consumers will grow old and someone else will have to pay for these freebies in the future,” Abrigo expounded.

Likewise, he cautioned that the potentials of having a fastgrowing working population may be rendered irrelevant if people cannot be productively employed. Thus, he recommended that public policies promoting economic growth and employment be put in place.

Lastly, he advised the government to continue investing in human capital, ensure that children are able to attend school and receive the necessary healthcare, and look for ways to stimulate greater saving and investment among households.

Fighters...

from page 1 Surigao Del Norte yielded to the military authorities.

According to Go, the surrendered rebels gave up the revolutionary struggle out of hunger, fatigue, and craving to rejoin their families and the mainstream community.

He said that the military and local government units (LGUs) would be working together to extend the necessary benefits accorded to the rebels who return to the fold of the law.

The benefits included, cash assistance, livelihood assistance and compensation of serviceable firearms, Go said.

Purpose...

from page 4 makes things better for them.

Let us use our influence, fame and power to create something good. Financially competent people helping financially incompetent people is such a bright idea. Remember: what is so little to the well-off people can really mean so much to the impoverished.

Also remember: there is no band-aid solution to deep problems like poverty. So don’t just help them. Guide them.

I personally enjoy working with individuals who want to run their own businesses.

It is relatively easy to finance existing businesses. While I show individuals how to do this, I tend to think that I am helping them to create their own program to help others.

Remember, everything worth achieving is a process that takes time. Helping the poor may be just small thing, but it is like slowly planting seeds, and we will be enjoying its fruits someday. Because by helping the poor generally improves society and makes it functional. And this kind of value system can eventually lead to a positive change. To a better country. And to a better world.

Let’s not lose hope. I urge everyone to have a meaningful purpose in life.

Father...

from page 4 driving and seriously injuring his 17-year-old girlfriend.

When the girl’s parents got to the hospital, they learned that their daughter and her boyfriend had been drinking.

The father left the hospital extremely angry saying, “Wait

till I find the person that sold my daughter that whiskey!”

When he returned home he saw a note on his liquor cabinet from his daughter: “Dear Dad, I took your whiskey tonight.

Hope you don’t mind?”

There’s nothing more important in your life than teaching your child by your right example. A young boy was asked on a questionnaire if he was a Christian and he answered: “I’m not a Christian because my father is not a Christian, and I’m the same thing as him.”

Dad, you have the awesome honor and responsibility to show your son how to live the way his Maker created him to live. But you cannot show him Jesus’ way if you are not living that way yourself. Today, you can ask Him to forgive you for living your own, wrong way, and to take full charge of your heart and character. Then you can start showing your son God’s way every day, both with your words and your ways.

Just think a minute.

Trade...

from page 5 barter system, would no longer have to hide from the maritime security forces, encouraging more trading activities at the borders to reduce the prices of traded consumer goods.

“As the barter trade expands, we will have more of the goods from Tawi-Tawi, Basilan and Sulu be brought across the other side of the border. So, it will not just be us buying goods from Malaysia or Indonesia but our own products also, be semiprocessed and shipped across the border,” he said. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

Redirecting education towards 21st century learning

By ANTONETTE B. MORILLA Teacher I Butadon Elementary School Butadon, Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

EDUCATION transformation and 21st century teaching sound like trendy buzzwords but there are are reasons why schools worldwide are striving toward these goals.

To keep pace with a future where technologies like robotics and automation will play an even bigger role in daily life, millennials must become adults who can do what robots can’t – think innovatively, creatively and be able to adapt to a changing world.

This all starts with education. Traditional education models that prioritize standardized exams and memorization are no longer effective in developing kids who succeed in the future. From an early age, young minds must be expose to collaborative environments, taught how

to develop confidence and be encouraged to think critically.

Student-centered learning is another important element whereby the focus of instruction shifts from the teacher to the student. This way, students have more control over their learning, helping them become more confident and engaged.

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, 21st century learning also teaches kids how to become globally competitive and learn how to communicate with people from different cultures.

While international schools and many private schools around the world have already adopted teaching methods based on 21st century principles, local schools in developing countries have been slower to catch on.
