Maranding irrigation is completed
MARANDING River Irrigation System is located in Lanao del Norte was constructed by the National Irrigation Administration that started in the year 1974 and fully operational in 1981 with an original service area of 4900 hectares but later during operation phase extension area of 354 hectares was added to make the updated service area of 5,254 hectares and firmed-up of 5,061 hectares. There are a total of 3,863 farmer beneficiaries organized into six (6) Irrigators Associations and federated last October, 1999 to Federation of Irrigators’ of Maranding River Irrigation System (FIMARIS) Ever since it became operational, there was no turning back in the life of the farmers reaping the fruits of irrigation with rice production as the major livelihood activity of the people in the locality. It has contributed much to the economic boom in the once sleepy towns of Lala, Kapatagan and its neighboring municipalities also savoured the benefits of the economic progress. Big business establishments which is present only in highly urbanized cities have sprouted in the area and a shopping mall is now under construction at the province ’capital town.
Unemployed persons in R10 rise to 236,000 as of April 2020
The close coordination between the NIA Regional Office and LAMISCA IMO Management with the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte led by Governor Imelda Q. Dimaporo, Vice Governor Maria Cristina N. Atay, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and the Local Government Units of Kapatagan and Lala thru Mayor Barry Y. Baguio and Mayor Angel L. Yap, respectively together with the Irrigators’Associations thru its Federation President James Longcob has reached to greater heights giving high morale of the farmers of producing more rice for food sufficiency thereby developing more viable and outstanding Irrigators’Associations However, the momentum was aborted last year when Typhoon Falcon brought flashfloods due to continuous heavy rains hit the province of Lanao del Norte last July, 2019 with the ground zero at Maranding RIS. The rampaging floodwaters overflowed the riverbanks damaging standing crops and irrigation facilities particularly two (2) units of siphon were severely damage coupled with heavy siltation in the main and lateral canals which cut-off the flow of irrigation water affecting 3600 hectares of the See IRRIGATION, page 11

RESULTS of the April 2020 Labor Force Survey shows that unemployment rate in the region registered at 11.1 percent. This is the highest recorded unemployment rate since 2005. Unemployment rate in January 2020 was reported at 3.2 percent while April 2019 unemployment rate posted at 5.0 percent. In terms of magnitude, the total number of unemployed individuals as of April 2020 reached to 236,000, higher than the recorded unemployed persons in April 2019 at 121,000. In other words, there are 115,000 more individuals who are unemployed as of April 2020 as compared to the same period in the previous year which reflects the impact of CoVID-19 economic shutdown to the labor market. The region’s unemployment rate is lower than the national average of unemployment rate at 17.7 percent. The region also posted the lowest unemployment rate among the 17 regions. Employment rate in the region fell to 88.9 percent in April 2020 from 96.8 percent in January 2020. In April 2019, employment rate registered at 95.0 percent. This translates to a decrease in the employed persons by around 400 thousand, that is, from 2.3 million employed persons in April See PERSONS, page 11

DSWD: 3,723 returned SAP aid in PH, R10 receives P14.5-M CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- About 3,723 Social Amelioration Program (SAP) beneficiaries in the country have returned the cash assistance they received for the first tranche due to duplication of aid they obtained from the government and in the region, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) received about P14.5 million from about 2,400 cash aid returnees. During the daily Laging Handa Network Briefing with Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar, DSWD Sec. Rolando Bautista said the P20.3 million returned cash assistance will be added to the second tranche of SAP distribution. “Yung unang dinownload sa atin ng DBM (Department of Budget and Management) may kakulangan. Ang mangyayari lahat ng unutilized funds na ibinaba sa local government units ay idagdag po ito sa second tranche. Doon sa 3,723, kung saang region sinauli doon magiging karagdagan sa second tranche ng SAP para hindi na magrerequest sa DBM ng additional budget,” the secretary added.

CIVIL CASE NO.2020-043
“The Filipino people have seen how terrorism destroys many lives, threatens the future of the next generation, and deprives many families of the opportunity to live in peace and harmony. As
stewards of our people, it is our greatest fear that one day, terrorists may find their way to destroy the lives and hopes of our constituents and their loved ones,” the group said.
The group said the measure would “mitigate, if not totally eradicate, terrorism and the violence it advocates.” However, the league said
COUNCILOR Jocelyn B. Rodriguez on Monday expressed her support to the move of Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas to ask the Interagency Taskforce on COVID-19 (IATF) to exempt immediate family members from the “no back ride” policy. During the City Council regular session presided over by Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin V. Uy, Rodriguez said the “no back ride” policy of the IATF will affect the emotional stability of a husband who wants his family members to be safe from the Covid-19 virus. “Ang asawa ga-trabaho og late at night and let them ride in a jeepney nga lagyo so I don’t find it safe nga dili na lang nato sila tagaan priority kay tungod pamilya man sila,” she said.
Councilor Rodriguez said many households and families in the city rely on motorcycles as a means of transportation to and from work, and even to visit establishments where they can easily buy essential needs. “Let us implement the law, when the law is properly implemented then perhaps atong ma-avoid ang bisa’g kinsa na lang ang mo-an-
gkas,” she stressed. Rodriguez said backriding should be allowed for couples and family members who are living together. “This will help nga ang emotion sa pamilya mastrengthen kay ang kabalaka naa gyud pirmi. Let us help those who can only afford a motorcycle nga dili kaafford og four wheel vehicle,” she stressed. (SP/JBDacer)

Transforming education in Asia By MARICEL SAMSON Teacher III
MICROSOFT and education ministries across Asia enable remote learning for millions of students during this time of COVID-19. Since the onset of the pandemic early this year, education ministries across Asia have pushed for mass migrations online with the help of Microsoft Teams, Office 365 and Microsoft Azure – enabling millions of students to continue to learn from home. Beyond ensuring lesson continuity, schools have been facilitating real time interactivity between teachers and students in class while enabling students to discover, create and share. Finding and deploying the right tools quickly was instrumental in managing the seismic shift in the education landscape caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Philippines, the executive committee of DepEd moved quickly to train teachers and educators in more supervisory levels. Secretary Briones herself used Microsoft Teams to hold a meeting with 17 regional offices, addressing critical issues faced by
teachers and students. The industry was kept connected via weekly ask the Expert sessions for officials as well as TeamsTalk, a bi-weekly online meetup for teachers to catch up and solicit advice from one another. When the COVID-19 virus reached pandemic levels and shuttering schools the world over, it left educators facing a massive challenge: how to keep students learning and engaged without the face to face closeness and comfortable daily routine of a classroom? In a time when we are relying on technology to support learning more and more, the heroism of the educators using it has never been clearer or more needed. Designed to help you achieve more with innovative Office apps, intelligent cloud services and world-class security, Microsoft 365 is your productivity cloud across work and life. On top of that, Microsoft Learning Tools are free tools that implement proven techniques to improve reading and writing for learners regardless of their age or ability.

DepEd’s ALS for K-12 By Ma. LEONORA RACHO District ALS Coordinator Gitagum District
TO ensure that the ALS curriculum is in line with the K-12 program and to provide opportunities for both OSY and adult learners, DepEd through the Bureau of Curriculum Development launched the ALS K-12 curriculum. Like the K-12 curriculum, the ALS K-12 curriculum is expressed in content standards, performance standards and learning competencies. It also defines the minimum competency standards for learners an alternative pathway of learning and certification parallel to the formal school system. The previous ALS curriculum was ditched because it has to be at par with the new K-12 curriculum. With this new curriculum,

ORDER
HON. OSOP M. ALI Presiding Judge MDN: June 3, 10 & 17, 2020
we hope that the ALS learners would have the same quality of education that would avail them of the four exits of K-12: college, employment, entrepeneurship or vocational skills. Just like its cousin the K-12 curriculum, the ALS curriculum reflects the set of knowledge, skills and competencies that learners should develop to meet the minimum requirement of basic education. The curriculum includes both formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills. The new curriculum gives equivalency options and alternative programs similar to formal schooling such that a learner can move and transfer seamlessly f rom one education system to another (e.g. from Kindergarten to Grade 3 or from ALS to Grade 5).

How learning engineering hopes to speed up education By MARICEL SAMSON Teacher III
TEACHING in school is often done without any formal training. Mimicry of others who equally untrained, instinct and what feels right tend to provide the guidance. As a result, teaching is not up to code. There are widespread beliefs about the best way to teach and learn that have been proven wrong by science yet they persist. Reading back over a textbook or taking lecture notes with a highlighter at the ready is often done by students but these practices have proven of limited merit and in some cases even counterproductive in aiding recall. And while many educators believe that word problems in math class are tougher for students to grasp than ones with mathematical notation, research shows that the opposite is true. Today, students frequently work in digital environments to read course materials, take tests and complete assignments. Those activities often leave data trails,
making it possible to quickly measure how well a section of an online textbook is conveying the knowledge a teacher hopes to impart or whether the material needs to be revisited and revised. For instance, an online biology textbook may include a short section about protein synthesis followed by a question. If few students answer the question correctly, the software can flag the professor or the textbook author to consider revising the content to make it clearer. And as they revise, they can see how long learners spent looking at that passage and other details about how they moved through the digital tool since every action leaves bread crumbs to analyze. Even so, we’re still a long way from having a mature practice of learning engineering in place. But proponents of the approach say they are beginning to build the infrastructure necessary for their moonshot of turbocharging the speed and quality of learning.

STAY AT HOME
DURING corona times ‘Stay at home’ is a simple message, but as countries (Philippines not yet!) open up with social distancing guidelines, there’s more room for interpretation – especially among friends. When people in Europe (even in my home country Germany) were finally allowed to meet with up to 10 friends after eight weeks in lockdown, some couldn’t wait to gather over beers back at their favourite bar terrace, or host a dinner at their apartment. But others were unsure about how to socialise, and some even found themselves judging the different behaviours of people in their network. Some of my German friends, who are all in their 30s or early 40s, are nervous about how flippantly
one member of their group has been taking the risks of the virus. They told me by emails that it felt “too annoying” to wear a mask in the supermarket despite these being mandatory in other European countries. It is a transition phase.... and, certainly, people are starting to look at each other with a bit more suspicion. How about in the Philippines? Of course, some people have small parties and gettogethers where all guidelines have gone out the window. So what’s social distancing all about? In my opinion, it’s difficult to talk to those who have broken guidelines, and ended up leaving sarcastic comments on one girl’s Snapchat, which caused her to remove him from her private story feed. Al-
though they weren’t close, I don’t think they’ll talk going forward. Why do we have different boundaries? Dr. Kate HamiltonWest, a health psychologist at the University of Kent in England, argues that whereas most people easily understood the message that “you must stay at home if that is possible” during lockdowns, it is “human nature” that more varied types of behaviours and responses will emerge if governments and institutions give people more choice. This is partly because different personality types can be generally more or less risk-averse, or have contrasting value preferences. “Protecting others, for example, is something that people will value to

different degrees... for some people, that might be less important to them than things like, for example, having autonomy over your own decision-making.” In Sweden, which never had a lockdown, researchers from Lund University found that the strongest indicator of how likely people were to follow voluntary recommendations was their willingness to adapt their actions for the benefit of others. They measured this kind of responsible “prosocial” behaviour through surveys and game-based experiments, focused on See HOME, page 11
The CYNOSURE
“Barangay Exit:” An act of repression
HERE is a friend who tends a farm, but failed to visit the farm until now. He left dozens of layers, livestock and other farm animals on his little farm. The national guidelines of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on “enhance community quarantine” (ECQ) caught him while he was out of the farm. Being on his farm during the weekdays, my friend never had an inkling that the COVID-19 virus would prevent him from visiting the farm at all. Without any idea on what might take place ahead, my friend got nobody to take care of his farm when he is away. With the current situation, my friend sighs some
hopes that when the time comes, the chickens and the livestock would still remain intact. But, will the farm animals survive with nobody to feed them? There is no argument that the IATF guidelines have a lot of exceptions allowing an individual to freely move from one place to another. However, not all people, especially those who do not belong to “authorized persons outside of residence” (APOR) know their rights under the IATF guidelines. In fact, the law enforcers have arrested a number of individuals and groups for alleged violations of the provision of the IATF. The situation exacerbates when cynical politicians – in
an effort to gain popularity – at the expense of the COVID-19 mayhem imposes excessive “rules and policies” to the disadvantage of the people in the community. For instance, the infamous “barangay exit” imposed by the city government of Cagayan de Oro City is misconstrued as an act of political repression. The “barangay exit” allowing only one member of the family to go out of their house is superfluous. There are cases where barangay officials and law enforcers used the “barangay exit” rule to harass or threaten the accompanying individual. Is this fair? In Iligan City, the baran-
Cris Diaz
gay exit allows a maximum three members of the family to come out of their house at one time. The idea is that, if the family has a car, the driver could accompany someone who goes about marketing. The third member of the family could be an errand or a house helper who joins the house owner in the marketing or other important undertaking. For those without a car, allowing two or three members of the house to be out at one time is a security consideration. In other words, you would not allow your daughter to get out of the See EXIT, page 11

‘This too shall pass’
“Finding the invisible In one that seems unwinnable/ I don’t know how, I don’t know when/ But I know love will find a way again/ This too shall pass...”— excerpts from the song ‘This too shall pass’ by Rico Blanco SINGER-songwriter Rico Blanco, fresh from his 4-year self-quarantine composed this song for all frontliners out there. The lyrics make a lot of sense in this year of the pandemic. Indeed, Rico’s song has sent a strong message of hope amid the continuing threat of covid-19 that turned in an instant the economies of the world upside down. That said, Dr. Bernar-
do Villegas, a respected economist shares this hope as he paints an inspiring economic outlook for the country to bounce back pretty soon. With a positive note, Dr Villegas sees the country could make a faster stride in economic recovery from the impact of the pandemic, citing the health sector as one area for growth. Villegas believes that the country will be one of the least negatively affected by the global recession. During his report on the “Prospects for the Philippine Economy in 2020 and Beyond” webinar, he pointed out that considering the health concerns that have been raised during the pandemic , anything related to health—curative or preventive, will be given
a higher priority. This includes opportunities for the insurance industry that provides security through various health insurance products covering medical expenses and even preventive medicine as well as life insurance with accident and death benefits. Along with the health sector, agribusiness is likewise seen as the country’s leading sunrise industry in post-pandemic era. Opportunities are also seen for the digital industry and education. There are some sectors, however, that will experience difficulty in recovering. These include travel and tourism industry, fashion, furnishings, and non-digital entertainment. Anything considered luxurious will take a back

seat. However, domestic travel might be able to bounce back. Dr. Villegas further explains that greater emphasis should be given to areas that can be the next Metro Manila. Growth areas mentioned are Batangas, Central Luzon, and Iloilo. If the country will not experience a second wave of the pandemic, a 2.7 percent growth rate for the economy will be felt.

Restaurant seating capacity under ‘new normal’ set at 50% MANILA – The maximum seating capacity at restaurants has been reduced to 50 percent under the “new normal”. The D ep ar t ment of Tourism (DOT) has issued memorandum circular 2020-004, which outlined the protocols for DOTaccredited restaurants in their operations covering the areas of management, set-up, employees, and customers. Under the memorandum circular, restaurants are required to monitor the health status of its employees as well as to provide personal food safety apparel and training, and annual check-ups. The maximum customer capacity will be reduced to 50 percent of the restaurant’s seating or venue capacity. The guidelines also contain a comprehensive list of food safety and conduct standards, and disinfection and sanitation protocols for different areas, furniture, wares, and surfaces within the restaurant, which employees are expected to follow. Restaurant owners are encouraged to install an alarm system that will remind employees to practice proper handwashing every 20 minutes, before and after meals, before wearing gloves, touching food or food-contact surfaces, and other specific actions. In the absence of soap and water, 70 percent solution alcohol or alcoholbased hand sanitizers must be provided. Customers must also wear masks, accomplish health declaration forms, undergo temperature checks, and practice proper handwashing and physical distancing upon entry to or when inside the restaurant premises. They will be required to provide their names and

contact details in a contract tracing log-sheet supplied by the establishment. The guidelines include the establishment of pickup or take-away zones for customers, and improvements to the establishment’s table and seating arrangement, customer queueing, order-taking, and payment systems. Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat urged restaurants to optimize technology in shifting to contactless transactions when taking orders or re-
ceiving payments from customers. “ The D OT remains committed to its ‘slow but sure’ approach in reopening the tourism industry amidst our current public health concern. To make this happen, we expect strict compliance from our partners of the protocols. The only way we can jumpstart tourism is to regain the confidence of our visitors,” she said. Meanwhile, the operation of buffets and salad bars will remain prohibited.
In-house play areas, libraries, karaoke machines, and ancillary leisure facilities, and similar amenities will temporarily be suspended. The guidelines were issued after the adoption by the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases of the joint recommendations of the DOT and the Department of Trade and Industry on health and safety protocols for dine-in operations of restaurants.

WASHINGTON – International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Tuesday urged countries to recognize the importance of global trade amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic and guard against a “dramatic retreat” from globalization. Noting that inequality tends to go up after a pandemic, the IMF chief said at a virtual event held by the US Chamber of Commerce that “we must put this squarely on our radar screen and recognize the importance of global trade in contributing to lower costs, higher incomes and lower levels of poverty.” “There would be a natural tendency after this pandemic for countries to turn inwards to build health security and build more independent operations,” Georgieva said. “But we must guard against a dramatic retreat from globalization.” The IMF managing director said 170 countries -- almost 90 percent of the world -- will be worse off with lower per capita income by the end of 2020. “Never in our history have we seen such a tremendous reversal of fortunes for so many,” she said. In mid-April, the IMF projected in its World Economic Outlook that the global economy is on track

Noting that governments have rolled out fiscal measures totaling USD9 trillion globally, Georgieva said at the virtual event that the massive measures have provided a lifeline to many businesses, calling them “well-targeted and well-thought through.” She also noted around USD100 billion left emerging markets and developing countries in March amid the Covid-19 pandemic, three times more than during the global financial crisis. “But in April and May -- thanks to this massive injection of liquidity in advanced economies -- some emerging markets were able to go back to the markets and issue bonds with competitive yields, with total issuance of around USD77 billion,” she said, adding that this is almost three and a half times as much as in the same two months last year. Georgieva said some 75 percent of countries are now reopening, and so now is the moment to think carefully about what comes next. “I believe we should think about building forward -not back -- and building a recovery that is focused on a great transformation as we emerge from this exceptional crisis,” she said. “On the risk side, we will emerge from this crisis with more debt, higher deficits and -- in all likelihood -- higher structural unemployment and higher levels of poverty,” Georgieva said, calling on countries to think carefully how to mitigate these risks with right economic policies. The crisis, however, also generates opportunities in areas such as digital transformation, green development, as well as building fairer societies, she said. (Xinhua)

management, and employers plays a vital role in preventing accidents and creating a safe working environment. The negligence on the part of the employers and employees can cause a variety of hazards and accidents. However, the diligence and commitment of all stakeholders regarding safe work practices leads to the prevention of major accidents and injuries. The employees and management
can create a safe workplace through a shared responsibility model for workplace safety and cooperation. Organizations should own this perspective and they should realize the fact that it is their managerial responsibility to focus on this perspective so that employees can remain safe. Conclusively, a safety plan is necessary and it comprises of certain steps that would develop a safer workplace.
Organizations should make sure that everyone else in the workplace is aware of the core problem. People should notify their respective supervisors and they should file any reports if there is a problem. An important aspect is that people should realize that there is a problem as sitting back and holding the problem for a long time would not solve the problem.

Emergency meeting were called by the Provincial Government attended by the different stakeholders and come up with action plans for the immediate repair of the system. NIA presented the conceptual design by replacing the reinforced concrete barrel to steel pipes and provision of protection works while the Sangguniang Panlalawigan forwarded a resolution to the National Irrigation Administration- Central Office for the release of funds from the Quick Response Funds (QRF) or funds from the General Appropriations Act. But pending the release of calamity funds, NIA realigned its activities in the amount of P24 million programmed for CY 2018 and 2019 prioritizing the repair of the two siphons and desilting activities. The repair was immediately started to catch-up for the next cropping season but only one unit of siphon was completed to restore the area of 1700 has out of the 3600 has affected. Close supervision and meetings were conducted to assess the progress in the completion of the steel siphon. The LGU of Lala thru Mayor Yap augmented its equipment for the installation of the steel pipes and the Contractor committed to complete repair works not later than April 15,2020 amidst the declared General Community Quarantine due COVID 19 Pandemic. The NIA-LGU-IA tie up was again proven to be the most effective in governance in community development. The long wait is over, successful test run was conducted and the remaining area of 1900 hectares is now ready to be irrigated starting May 1,2020 which is the official water delivery schedule for the second cropping.

Globe esports team Liyab raises donations for Philippine Heart Center AS the country continues to grapple with the far-reaching effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the world of competitive Philippine esports has proven itself an ally to medical practitioners working at the front lines. Taking the online gaming arena to another level, Globe via its co-owned esports team, Liyab Esports, has successfully rallied professional esports athletes, streamers, and League of Legends fans to raise over half a million pesos in cash donations for the Philippine Heart Center (PHC) as part of their COVID-19 relief efforts. Dubbed ‘Starforge’, the online charity streaming event was launched in April 17 to 26 by Liyab and Esports AcadArena, the largest campus esports initiative in the Philippines. During the two-week campaign, Team Liyab par-
ticipated in online community team matches, held entertaining podcasts, and interacted with fans and the nationwide gaming community. This culminated in a major Starforge event which featured a best-of-three AllStars Showdown between teams headed by Liyab’s Kang ‘Kurd’ Yeonghwan and the team of Edrian ‘DoeDoii’ Brancia, with Team Kurd ultimately dominating a win. Throughout the duration of the event, Globe donated cash when certain milestones are met. For every kill of an opposing player, dragon, or baron takedown Globe would add Php1,000 to the fund. To further show their support towards the gaming community’s initiative, Globe donated Php100,000 in funding upfront. Together with several partners, Globe raised a total of Php 523,000 for PHC

health and safety of both its employees and customers. These measures also include the provision of personal protective equipment (PPEs) to Customer Service Officers, such as masks, face shields and gloves. Floor guides and acrylic barriers have been installed to ensure social distancing and minimal contact. Finally, all individuals entering the premises will be required to wear masks and undergo a temperature scan. While Manulife’s customer service centers have re-opened, customers are
