Four workers escape from Maute, one killed

By H. Marcos C. Mordeno, MindaNews

ARAWI City––Four workers of a furniture shop in this embattled city escaped to safety by braving the rapids of the Agus River Monday.

Arnold Saropio, Rey Saropio, Emerio Ruiz and Apolinario Calungsod worked at a furniture shop in Lilod, Marawi City. Calungsod hails from Libertad, Misamis Oriental. The rest are from Midsalip, Zamboanga del Sur. In a hurried interview at the health clinic inside the provincial capitol compound, Arnold said they swam the Agus River after eluding the Maute members who arrived in their workplace at dawn on Monday.

He said their employer, Michael Gani, told them to escape through the backdoor.

T h e Maut e G roup, Arnold said, seized Gani and his whereabouts still remained unknown as of Monday afternoon.

He said his co-worker named Johari Ulama waved a white flag to signify they’re civiians at the approaching Maute members. But the latter shot him dead.

An officer of a humanitarian group who requested anonymity said the workers established contact with them through a

number posted on Facebook which trapped residents may call to ask for guidance on possible escape routes.

“But we lost contact with Personnel at the health clinic inside the provincial capitol compound in Marawi City attend to a worker who managed them at around 7:00 a.m. to avoid being captured or killed by the Maute Group while the three workers narrate how they escaped to safety See escape, page 11

Free wifi inside churches opposed

An official of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Public Affairs Committee (CBCPPAC) said it is not advisable to put up free wifi inside churches.

Fr. Jerome Secillano, CBCP-PAC executive secretary, noted that while it can help the faithful in praying, the parish will not be able to monitor if the people will use it for other purposes.

She noted that representatives from Lanao suggested the provision of the cash assistance to help Muslim evacuees who are observing the fasting month of Ramadan despite being in evacuation centers.

Taguiwalo said this is only a one-time cash aid, as her department continues to provide the evacuees food.

She said the business sector of Iligan fully understand the security measure being imposed by the local government of Iligan that is to help suppress the lawless violence while ensuring security and safety of the residents.

“The business sector is very supportive and selfless when it comes to the implementations of security measures, even to the extent of declaring Martial Law in Mindanao,” said Punongbayan.

Likewise, the group condemned the senseless

act of violence which have claimed and injured the life of innocent civilians.

This act of violence, she said, has no place in the world, especially in the regions of Mindanao. “This crisis that Mindanaons are facing should not force Iliganons to live their lives in fear,” she said.

For his part, Mayor Celso G. Regencia thanked the business community for its undying support to his administration.

Regencia said he will protect the people, especially those who have given their trust to him as the mayor of Iligan City.

Norhata Benito, DSWD12’s disaster risk reduction and management operations head, said they brought the food packs to evacuation centers run by the DSWD and local government units (LGUs) in Region 10 and in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

She said some of their personnel are currently assisting the relief operations in Marawi City and the neighboring areas.

Marawi City is part of the ARMM, but it is covered by some of the programs under the DSWD-12, among them the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps. “We’re currently repacking additional relief goods to

The official described the ongoing relief distribution in Marawi as difficult as a number of evacuees have not sought shelter in identified evacuation centers of the LGUs. She said some preferred to seek help from their friends and relatives due to the challenging situation in the evacuation centers.

“It’s the month of Ramadan so it’s really difficult for us, Muslims, to be staying in evacuation centers,” she said. Aside from augmenting the relief operations, Benito said they have assisted a number of families from Marawi who were forced to relocate in parts of the region.

She said more than 100 of their personnel had sought assistance for their displaced families and relatives.

“Some have relocated to as far as Sarangani Province,” she said.

Also known as Soccsksargen, Region 12 comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato.

Benito added that they are currently reaching out to their other employees who have relatives who resettled in the region. (AVE/PNA) NOTICE NOTICE is hereby given that the estate of ROSARIO C.

Major reform

As a family man with earnings that is enough to support a growing family, I have a particular interest in improving the accessibility of schooling to people whose earnings are not that fat. As a son of a poor family, I am familiar with the despair and frustration endemic to individuals struggling to survive. I am convinced that increasing individuals’ access to education can make the difference between despondency and hope.

And so the major reform I pursued for myself was when I decided to enroll in Cagayan de Oro College-Phinma Education Network’s graduate school, taking up doctorate in edu-

plete turning away from what I used to do during weekends. I shunned from my usual weekend buddies and let myself get in the classroom once again for learning purposes. And this reform enabled me have a new circle of friends. I and these new friends of mine have one thing in common: we want to finish a doctoral degree. Thus, suffice it to say that we are all kindred spirits. This situation reminds me of the statement of Alexander Graham Bell that “when one door closes, another door opens.”

My quest for higher education is still far and long from being over. I still have to complete the academic

requirements, take and pass the comprehensive examinations and write the needed dissertation. The road to success is arduous. But I am determined because I believe in the dictum that learning is a never ending process.

cational administration and supervision.

My present graduate studies require from me time and dedication, aside from the required readings of numerous articles and books. I also have to write reaction papers and reflections. All of these need focus. Thus, I have to reform my lifestyle.

And one reform I had to pursue was to kiss outings goodbye.

You see, before I enrolled in the doctoral program, I had this habit to going out with officemates and friends every weekend for happenings—videoke and drinking sprees.

Such a reform is a com-

whatever they are doing in the meantime. Then, many times, the advertisements are even filthy and sexually-oriented as they feature scantily clad men and women selling products and services, unmindful of minor-computer users who maybe doing something online.

Of course, the remedy is to leave the site that show those advertisements, and that is what I usually do when the advertisements start. However, those advertisements maybe justified as the means by which the online provider or the website that is being browsed over would earn some revenue.

Even then, this matter has to be regulated, especially on the content and the frequency of the advertisements.

What the Duterte government and the police and military authorities must now strive hard to do is to liberate the whole of Mindanao and, yes, even the whole Philippines, from the creeping encroachment of terror groups which are no longer just fighting the government for reforms or to wangle economic benefits for their members, but to dismember the Republic.

The fight in Mindanao today is no longer simply the kind of local war that had been fought there for decades. It has metamorphosed into a deadly international warfare where the real enemies are no longer simple Filipino rebels, but terrorists from outside the

Think a minute

Chance or choice

Think a minute.

There was a man who was the owner of the only hair salon in his little town.

He cut and styled the hair of almost everybody in town and his business was quite successful.

Then, a big modern hair salon moved to his town right across the street from his little shop.

This new, big salon advertised in the newspapers and posted signs all over town that read: “$6 haircuts!

Everything for only $6!”

Soon almost all his customers began going to the new salon across the street

for $6 haircuts.

The owner of the old hair salon knew he could never afford to beat the big new salon’s price of only $6.

But then he thought of a way to turn things around and win his customers and business back.

He had a local sign company paint him a big sign which he put in front of his hair salon. It read: “We FIX $6 haircuts!”

We all have problems and go through tough times.

It’s the people who respond and handle those problems positively who end up succeeding in life.

It’s not luck that controls your life! It’s your own choices that make you happy and successful. You see, “Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.”

No matter what happens these people keep going, because sooner or later “Tough people win over tough times.” Remember, the same heat that melts butter also hardens clay.

The difference is in their response. How about you?

How do you respond?

Mayor Sara condoles with family of 2 slain soldiers EDITOR: Cris diaz

D

AVAO CIT Y -Davao City Mayor Sara DuterteCarpio on Monday condoled with the families of the two soldiers killed in an encounter between government forces and memb ers of the Ne w People’s Army (NPA) on Sunday morning in Sitio Bajada, Paradise Embac in Paquibato District, Davao City.

Duterte-Carpio said it was sad and unfortunate t h at g ov e r n m e nt l o s t two lives and wounded six soldiers in the fight against some 50 memebers of the NPA. She however committed to assist the families left by the two soldiers.

Despite the incident, At h e m ayor w a s s t i l l committed to open talks with the NPA, saying, it was her duty as mayor of Davao City to bring peace in the community.

Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastincom) spokesperson Maj. Ezra Balagtey confirmed Monday that the troops of the 16th Infantry Battalion e n c ou nt e re d m ore or less 50 members of the Pulang Bagani Command 1 under Zaldy Canete alias Kumander Jing goy on Sunday.

The encounter, which lasted for about two hours, left two soldiers dead and six others wounded.

Balagtey identified the two fatalities as Cpl. Casidy

Ud ay f rom Taguig ad PFC Freddie delos Santos from Bicol. One of those wounded is an officer while the five soldiers were enlisted personnel.

He was not sure there were casualties on the other side although there were evidence of bloodstains along the way of fleeing rebels.

Balagtey said troops were able to find one M653 Colt AR18 with serial number 127538 with one magazine long, two jungle bag, one civilian bag, electrical wire and other belongings at the site.

Balagtey said the troops were responding to a reported consolidation of NPA rebels planning to conduct atrocities in Paquibato District when the army patrol was fired upon that led to the intense exchange of gunfire.

MGen Noel Clement, commander of Joint Task Haribon expressed his appreciation and grief over the death of the soldiers while vowed to pursue the NPA rebels to prevent them f rom coercing and intimidating the communities.

“While it is sad that we lost two of our soldiers, their ultimate sacrifice is worth noting, they displayed the finest core value of honor, duty and patriotism as they prevented a possible atrocity against our people,” Clement said in a statement.

Arturo Lascañas, who left the country last April for Singapore.

In a memorandum issued on June 8 but was released to the media on Tuesday, Aguirre ordered N B I D i re c t or D a nt e Gierran to coordinate with the International Police Organization (Interpol) to gather information on the location and whereabouts of Lascañas.

“In the interest of the service and pursuant to the provisions of existing laws, you are hereby directed to coordinate with the (Interpol) to gather information on the location and whereabouts of… Lascañas and to c o ord i n at e w it h t h e proper authorities for his apprehension,” Aguirre said in his memorandum.

Aguirre issued the order after the Davao City Regional Trial Court

Branch 10 issued an arrest warrant against Lascañas last week over the cases of murder and attempted murder over the killing of broadcaster Juan “Jun” Pala in 2003.

The Davao City P r o s e c u t o r ’s o f f i c e approved his indictment upon complaint filed by Pala’s wife Louise, citing his extrajudicial confession of the crime in his testimony during Senate investigation last February where he admitted his involvement in the killing.

Murder is a non-bailable offense.

B efore the arrest warrant was issued by the court, Lascañas was able to leave the country last April.

It will be recalled that Lascañas in the March 6 senate hearing accused Duterte of paying DDS members up to PHP100,

000 to kill criminals as well as his enemies when he was still the Davao mayor.

Lascañas also implicated Duterte’s son Paolo - now Davao City vice mayor - in the killings.

Edgar Matobato, another self-confessed DDS assassin, had also testified in the Senate that the President had wanted Pala dead for criticizing him in his radio program.

In pursuing the case against Lascanas, the Davao City Prosecutor’s Office used his extrajudicial confession during the hearing of the Senate committee on public order headed by Sen. Panfilo Lacson.

Besides the President, Lascañas had also named fellow police officer SPO4 Sonny Buenaventura and Jim Tan, Mr. Duterte’s bodyguard, in the murder of Pala. PNA

The Gospel of Jesus Christ (June13, 2017-Tuesday)John 2:1322” The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

of us never come to the dwelling place of God. This is a physical temple where God dwells according to 2 Cronicles7:11-6”God lives in His holy temple. Therefore, we need to come to God in the temple for praise and worship. Are you coming to Him in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist? Find Him in the temple.

I do not agree that Satan lives in us because he has no legal right to do that. The truth is, only God lives us despite of our human weaknesses and shortcomings in life.

He is very faithful to dwell in us despite of your sins

because he wants to prove that he is with you all the times. He wants to be with you in order that you will not give up in your journey in life.

Adiong: ‘I guess we need to ready ourselves for the worst once Banggolo bridge is open’

By Carolyn O. Arguillas MindaNews

MARAWI City--The spokesperson of the Provincial Crisis Management Committee (PCMC) on Monday said they are preparing for the worst in terms of destruction of property and loss of lives as the Marawi Crisis entered Day 21 and the aerial bombings, Day 19.

“I guess we need to ready ourselves for the worst once this (Banggolo) bridge is open,” Assemblyman Zia Alonto Adiong, PCMC spokesperson told a press Padian (market) about a kilometer away from Bang- briefing Monday as he noted golo bridge.

online have given the public glimpses of the destruction in the conflict zone located in the city’s center, and accounts of rescuers who were able to enter the “hostile area” on June 4 as well as survivors indicate there are many dead bodies lying on the ground, some of them in an advanced stage of decomposition.

Adiong narrated that during the flag-raising ceremony, a police officer narrated that one of his friends received a text message that a trapped family in Barangay Raya Madaya had sent word their child has died of hunger and that

they and their Christian employees have been eating their blanket for survival.

He said their principal concern is still “to rescue as many civilians” and their volunteer rescuers are ready but they have to “wait for the Armed Forces of the Philippines to give us clearance.”

“Our hands are tied,” Adiong said, adding that having been trapped for 21 days and with the possibility of getting rescued

becoming more difficult, trapped civilians are now taking their chances to move towards Banggolo bridge from wherever they are in the conflict zone and cross the estimated 40-meter bridge to the designated collection point manned by soldiers, or be caught in the crossfire, hit by bombs, or die of hunger.

The trapped civilians, he said, are taking See OPEN, page 11

It has therefore become the imperative of the times that extra-ordinary measures must have to be resorted to by President Duterte and his government, like placing the entire country under martial law for an indefinite period of time, or even declaring a revolutionary government that will do away with legal niceties, if the Philippines would want to attain victory against its present enemies.

but the irresponsible use of it is certainly beyond the church’s control,” he said.

The Catholic priest added that the free internet access in parishes might be used to browse the internet instead of using it for spiritual purposes.

“The danger with installing wifi in churches is this might be used for purposes other than the spiritual,” Secillano said.

He added that people can download apps (prayer and other spiritual-related) somewhere else either in their homes or other places where there is free wifi prior to their visit to church.

“Even without wifi, there are apps that they can download before going to churches and use them for praying,” the Manila priest said.

“While we want to take advantage of what communications technology can offer, we would rather be prudent in their use than let people utilize them possibly for facebook, instagram, and internet browsing,” he furthered.

Some malls, restaurants, coffee shops in the country are offering free internet access as part of their marketing strategies to entice customers.

On Monday, the government launched the free wifi access along EDSA and also at MRT stations.

With this, the public will have access to information such as weather, education and online jobs. (Ferdinand G. Patinio/PNA)

rural system in Loreto, came to help them with an initial P60,000 fund to purchase cooking materials and kitchen wares like stove, kettles, head dress and aprons for the production of Libas Jams.

Trasmil said the advent of Libas Jams would help discourage lumad residents from cutting the libas trees for the use as charcoal in making the haluan dried fish since they find the charcoal produces blue flame while some others used it as a lumber post on their building houses.

Seeing the dwindling stocks of Libas trees naturally growing along Agusan Marsh, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through their National Greening Program has tapped –IP-LORAMSECA for the replanting of Libas around an identified 100-hectare area with P2 million project cost.

The Libas Jam caught the attention of former Environment Secretar y Gina Lopez during her visit in Butuan City early this year as she vowed to help the lumad women’s group enhance their product by sending her personal chef who has wide international experience in five star hotels.

Indeed, even as Lopez did not made it at the Commission on Appointments, the chef came to help them produce several other food products with global competitiveness.

Trasmil said they went into three-day training in Loreto, a follow up at DENR Caraga in Butuan and to their big surprise displayed their products in an actual cooking exhibition at Robinson’s Place.

Grinded Libas were mixed with another indigenous yam locally called as ‘Unaw” were mixed as flour to produce different pastries and other food prducts.

The mall goers were allowed to taste the Libas pastries and baked products like pizza, cookies, muffins and even brownies cakes to their delight.

“At this point I would like to say it’s been a pleasure working with you and I wish you the best of luck with any future record attempts,” Backhouse added.

The city government had paid around P850,000 to Guinness to facilitate the world record bid.

A total of 3,336 motorcycle riders converged along a stretch of the main highway here last April 29 to join the historic world record bid.

The participants, who were composed of visiting and local motorcycle enthusiasts, lined up in clusters from the city’s roundball area, occupying more than a kilometer of the General

Wednesday, June 14, 2017 Santos Drive here.

The world record attempts highlighted the culmination of the city’s firstever Motorcycle Festival held from April 22 to 29.

The festivity coincided with the three-day 23rd national convention here of the National Federation of Motorcycle Clubs in the Philippines (NCMF), which the mayor heads.

Miguel lauded local stakeholders, especially the event’s working committees, for the successful world record bid.

He cited the support of NFMC members throughout the country, through its chair emeritus Manolet Lamata, local residents, media and the Department of Tourism.

The mayor had described the successful bid as “great achievement for the people of Koronadal and the entire Region 12.”

More than getting the new Guinness records, the mayor said the city succeeded in “promoting the entire Soccsksargen (Region 12) and Mindanao to the world.”

This city is the administrative seat and center of Region 12, which comprises the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and North Cotabato, and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Cotabato. (MindaNews)

The budget allocation for the free irrigation services shall be taken from any available appropriations of the NIA. (Filane Mikee Z. Cervantes/PNA)

on Sunday,” the source said.

Staff at the clinic refused requests from media to inter view further Arnold and his compan-

ions as they were brought to a room for checkup.

The source said the Maut e Group t r i e d t o increase its ranks by g i v i n g m a l e re s i d e nt s of Marawi two choices – join them or die. “ Ku n g a k o, s e g u r o moapil na lang ko kaysa patyon (For me, maybe I’d rather join than get killed),” he said.

In a press conference Sunday at the 4th Infantr y Division headquarters in Cagayan de Oro City, Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Eduardo Ano said the presence of trapped civilians was slowing down their offensive.

But Ano cl ai me d it would only be a matter of time before Marawi can be recovered [from the Maute Group]. “Isolated sila in two barangays.”

Lt. Gen. Carlito G a lve z , We ste r n Mi n danao Command chief, described Marawi as a “rat hole” where their adversaries have managed to move from one building to another because “the terrain is theirs.”

He called the siege a “hybrid war” or a combination of conventional and non - c onve nt i on a l warfare. “ They (Maute G r o u p ) d o n’t p l a y b y the rules.”

But he assured that government forces were gaining and winning.

“Konting pasensiya lang ( Just a little patience),” he said.

In an impromptu press c on f e re n c e at t h e 4 t h Infantr y Division hospital where he awarded medals to soldiers who were wounded in action in Marawi, President Rodrigo Duterte said the Maute members were confined to “one or two buildings.”

“Sn ip e rs . Iyon l ang a n g t a t a p u s i n ( T h a t’s the only thing left to be done). But ang sundalo, they’re there in Marawi na,” he said.

The Marawi siege started on May 23, when the Maute Group took cont rol of p or t ions of the city and engaged government forces in a cat-and-mouse brand of combat that has forced the militar y to employ its air assets.

Aerial bombardment of suspected Maute positions continued on Monday.

On Thursday, when Duterte’s trip to Marawi was cancelled allegedly due to “fou l we at her,” Ga lve z s aid t he y were “lo ok ing at t he p ossibility that the end will be near.”

Br ig . G en. R ol ando Joselito Bautista, 1st Infantr y Division chief said their timetable is to “gain headway” within four days or by Monday, which happens to be Philippine Independence Day. (H. Marcos C. Mordeno/MindaNews)

the risk to escape or “die inside their house.”

“There is danger all around them, left or right, back, front,” he said, adding that it is “the human determination to live that drives them to face this danger and expect that they would cross the bridge” to safety.

He said the military has already penetrated the area “but not really completely.”

Air strikes continued on Monday, even during the flag-raising ceremonies.

Get trapped civilians out Adiong told MindaNews that since the airstrikes started on May 25, there has not been a day of respite from aerial bombings.

“Every day,” he said.

The ancestral home of the late Senator Ahmad Domocao Alonto, he said, was hit by an air strike earlier that morning.

In a statement Monday, the Saving Lives Movement, a Muslim-Christian network aiming to highlight the humanitarian aspect of the Marawi Crisis, and the Ranao Rescue Team appealed in an open letter to the Armed Forces of the Philippines for a four-hour pause “to get the trapped out of war zones in Marawi.”

On June 4, volunteer rescue teams from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) side of the Government-MILF Peace Corridor were allowed to enter the conflict zone by both the military and the Maute Group, brokered by an emissary, allowing for the rescue, initially of 134 trapped residents. At least 45 more managed to move closer to safety.

Mi nd a Ne w s s ou g ht Western Mindanao Command chief Lt. Gen. Carlito Galvez for his response to the appeal of Saving Lives Movement but he sent no reply.

Adiong and Lt. Col. Jo-Ar Herrera on Friday estimated the number of trapped civilians at “500 to 1,000.” Saving Lives Movement’s estimate on June 12 is 2,000.

Aside from trapped civilians, an estimated there are still an estimated 100 hostages held by the Maute Group as of Thursday last week, according to Brig.

tista.

Bautista on Thursday chief of the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, who has direct supervision over the 103rd Brigade here, said “within four days we will gain headway” or by June 12 which happens to be Philippine Independence Daoy.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Sunday confirmed the United States is providing technical assistance by coordinating communications link between the P3 Orion spy plane and the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ air and ground forces fighting the terrorist Maute Group.

“When you get used to the sound of bombs, you don’t know how many or how less. Basta you know it’s frequent,” Adiong told reporters, adding “we’re not counting the bombs because if we count the bombs, we’re counting dead bodies, also damaged property.”

Dist ress c a l ls f rom trapped families are “not as frequent as the early days of the fighting,” Adiong said.

He explained it could be because some of them have been rescued, or they could not charge their phones.

Or the worst has happened.

Adiong said they have a matrix of where the distress calls were coming from, which they would use “as basis to identify the bodies” in the event the callers did not survive.

He explained that they have already prepared the protocols “once the bridge is open for retrieval operations.”

He said there will be a mobile laboratory where experts will get tissue samplings that would later be matched with samples taken from relatives of those whose family members could not be accounted for.

Adiong added they have to consult the Ulama if it would be allowed under the Shariah for forensic experts to handle their dead given the religious and cultural traditions. “We have to be very, very sensitive as to culture and religion.”

Marawi is the country’s lone Islamic City.

He said they have identified a site for a possible mass grave but have to check with the Ulama first if mass burials are allowed under these circumstances.

Arrupe Educational Center debuts with American English training to DepEd kindergarten teachers

By Anito Librando Jr. Contributor

More than 250 kindergarten teachers from the Department of Education (DepEd) Division of Cagayan de Oro City were introduced to the wealth of resources available on the American English (AE) website in a seminar-workshop.

Through the Arrupe Educational Center (formerly Regional Center for Expertise – Northern Mindanao) of the School of Education of Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan, the seminar-workshop, held on May 30 and 31 at the Pilgrim Christian College Auditorium, formed part of DepEd’s efforts to ensure a successful implementation of the Kindergarten Education program.

Schools division superintendent Dr. Elena M. Borcillo serves as the overall committee chairperson and PSDS-Kinder coordinator Anita M. Gochuco acts as technical planning committee chairperson of the Kindergarten Education program.

“Arrupe Educational Center aims to promote quality education by providing relevant training pro-

EMPOWERING TEACHERS. American English trainers take a pose with the Division of Cagayan de Oro Department of Education Kindergarten teachers. Supplied photo grams to the pre-service and in-service teachers. [We] support the aspiration for DepEd to ensure that every child has the best start in school. The kindergarten teachers pave the way for young learners to possess the love for learning,” said AEC director Ma. Victoria Trinidad.

“The key is to lead the

teachers to tools and ways that will capture the needs and interests of the child.

This school year, with the use of AE tools, I am looking forward to kindergarten classes having high teacherand-learner engagement and eventually result to readiness for Grade 1. I wish to thank the AE team, US EmbassyManila, and the Local School

Board, our partners in this training,” she added.

Lynrose Jane Genon of MSU-IIT, Dr. Maria Angeles Hinosolango of USTP, and Anito Librando Jr of XU-JHS served as American English trainers for the two-day event, assisted by XU-SOE alumni facilitators Daryl Rey Bacolcol, Kythe Jeua Sevilla, and Jessa Joyce Tamiok.

Marvin Clark Gala of AEC served as technical staff.

The American English website is a resource center for teaching and learning about American English language and culture. The website provides a variety of engaging materials and resources for teachers’ professional development and for students in the classroom.

Different activity games and materials that they can download and use such as “Activate Game” boards, “Guess What?” e-cards, “Word Bricks,” and “Picture This” e-cards were also presented to teachers.

They were also introduced to “Sing Out Loud Children’s Songs” album and references like “Create to Communicate” that contains activities and lessons that use art to foster English language development.

“Integrating the pedagogy of play using the American English materials, kindergarten teachers designed these work periods with the ‘fun factor’ in mind. The set of activities is contextualized and student-centered promoting better retention and fun learning experiences in the kindergarten classrooms,” shared Genon from MSU-IIT. Workshop participants in the second day grouped themselves to come up with activities and materials adapted from the AE website resources. After presenting them for critiquing and editing, their outputs were compiled and will be sent back to the participants in an e-book format for their reference.
