Piñol seeks lifting of ‘no backride’ policy in M’nao By CHE PALICTE
DAVAO CITY – Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said Saturday the government’s ‘no backride’ policy snags the economic recovery of the country. “In as far as Mindanao is concerned, this policy is impractical, unrealistic and counter-productive and Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) will officially request InterAgency Task Force (IATF) that this be rescinded,” he said. As Chairman of the MinDA, Piñol said he will officially transmit on Sunday to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) a communication requesting that Mindanao be exempted from the policy which bans people from riding tandem in a motorcycle. He said the policy, which is being implemented by See POLICY, page 11

How digital literacy can transform education By LIEZEL V. ANTONIO Teacher III Prenza Elementary School Prenza, Tangub City
NEW roles are emerging for those who can translate how the engineering and design of new technologies and applications affects our political, economic, social and cultural worlds. Education in this field and notions of digital literacy must expand to reflect this need. In secondary schools, it is important to teach the building blocks of digital literacy from basic computing concepts to how platforms are built. Schools will need to expand and revise their curricula if they wish to educate students for a digital future that is inclusive, sustainable
and collaborative. We are likely to see engineers who are better equipped to think deeply about how the systems they design will transform the world. New jobs can be created for those who can translate across technical and ethical domains as technologies are innovated and rolled out. Yes, our education is supposed to prepare us to work, to enter the job market. But it is also supposed to prepare us to be creative, reflective, deliberative humans with social, ethical and creative needs. That’s why it’s unrealistic to think of science or technology as a given without recognizing the deep influence of philosophy, ethics, human behavior, politics and the arts.

Education for the post covid-19 THE last question I raised in the ASEAN conference on June 20, 2020, made me amazed. My question is about what to do in the education sector for the post-covid-19. One of the co-presenters responded that it would be suitable for applying a blended system. In my perception blended system means more than merely a system of teaching: online and conventional. Blended system –in my opinion—includes the materials and methods of teaching and strategies of learning. All these should try to make the pupils or students creative. If we are not creative we will not be able to survive. We will lose. In businesses, we will go to bankruptcy. I was amazed seeing the Mindanao Daily—through the publisher’s postings on his Facebook account—that Mindanao now has other new diversification. As I
have observed so far, there has been new diversification of services. One is a Radio station and the other is transportation. Both are named Mindanao. They are Mindanao Radio station and Mindanao Taxi transportation. What do we create? Education is the central point to make the nations survive. Therefore, educating the people for surviving is the key. It is the key to any success. But, have all schools and universities educate the people for that purpose? Creating new products or services is key. In other words, education must make the nation creative. So, a blended system means many things. It means creating new methods of teaching. It can also mean the strategies of learning for the pupils and students. However, it also means how to make the nation creative. They must be able to create
Dr. Djuwari
new products or services. All the blended systems of course can lead to efficiency. When schools or universities have online classes, they will not consume electricity. They won’t consume water in schools or campuses. They won’t consume transportation from home to school or campuses. They won’t’ consume time for they have to stay at home. When schools and universities can make the nation creative, the nation will be able to survive. People can create something new. They can be new services or new products. A New normal era is different from the normal era as we have experienced before COVID-19. See EDUCATION, page 11
Have my say
How anxiety affects you
A drawn-out stressful situation can make simple tasks feel more difficult than they used to be. I experienced it myself since my German Consulate Office in Davao reopened. Both, my consulate clients and I got the same feelings. Feel like you can’t concentrate on anything at the moment? You’re not alone. The extra anxiety caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has impaired our working memory, experts say. As writer and journalist, Kate Morgan stresses several days ago: we all know the feeling. You walk into a room with a mission and then stop, confused, and a little disjointed, realizing you have completely forgotten why you’re there.
Since the coronavirus’ spread began, almost all of us have been having that feeling of forgetting why I’m in another room dozens of times a day. We’re finding it almost impossible to focus on anything at all. I can’t keep a phone number in my head long enough to dial it, and it takes forever to write a simple email. I start in on a task, and it’s only a few minutes before I’m distracted. My productivity has plummeted. Meanwhile, when at my home office alone, it’s getting better step by step... What was happening, is a malfunction of working memory: the ability to grasp incoming information, form it into a cohesive

thought, and hold onto it long enough to do what you need to with it. “Think of it as the mental platform for our cognitive operations, for what we’re thinking now,” says Matti Laine, a professor of psychology at Åbo Akademi University in Finland. “Working memory is closely related to attention. You’re focusing on some task, some goal, some directive or behavior you want to get accomplished.” In other words, working memory is the ability to See ANXIETY, page 11
Unruffled
Make investment climate more attractive AS the country prepares for the ‘re-starting’of the economy amid the global health crisis, it needs more clarity in policy direction to lure foreign investors. Added to this, it should alsl address some loopholes in the corporate income tax rate, widely seen as less attractive and ‘unfriendly’ tax policy. That said, the country has faced the pandemic with declining foreign direct investments from the previous year and triggered by the uncertainty in corporate tax reform. What is needed perhaps is the clarity of purpose for foreign investors to make
long term direct investments. Coronavirus has created economic uncertainty as it were, and investors do not want more to see tax and policy uncertainties. First and foremost, the government should address concerns on corporate income tax rates seen as ‘unfriendly’ compared to its Asian neighbors. Now in cobwebs in Congress is the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises Act (CREATE), formerly known as CITIRA, which seeks to cut the corporate income tax rate to 25 percent from 30 percent. Moreover, lawmakers
Ruffy Magbanua
should likewise help businesses recover from the pandemic by approving the proposed economic stimulus programs. The passage of several packages is geared towards helping businesses adapt to the ‘new normal’, including the recalibrated corporate income tax package CREATE and the Philippine Economic Stimulus Act.

Aggie News 5 DA-10 provides agri inputs to IP community for food production amid COVID-19 FOR ADS PLACEMENT CALL OR TEXT: 0917-712-1424 • 0947-893-5776
mindanaodaily.ads@gmail.com
LAGONGLONG, Misamis Oriental, June 18 – The Department of Agriculture in Region 10 (DA-10) has turned over agricultural inputs to Hinastriko (Higaonon Nababalay Sectoral Tribal Council of Lagonglong), an Indigenous People’s community in said town. DA-10’s initial provisions of agri inputs worth P44,000 comprising upland rice seeds, open pollinated variety (OPV) white corn seeds, assorted vegetable seeds and knapsack sprayer were turned over to Datu Sulong Eglesio Granada Lutawan. According to Datu Sulong, around 14,000 hectares agricultural land of the ancestral domain will be fully developed for food production with the agency’s interventions, benefitting around 2,000 tribal members. The ancestral domain’s farm which is 9.5 kilometers from Poblacion covers three barangays, Banglay, Gaston and Umagos. Earlier, the group availed vegetable
seeds through the strengthened partnership between DA-10 and the 58th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army. DA-10’s effort is in support with the President’s directive for a sustainable livelihood program for the members of the IP community in a bid to improve their living condition and fight poverty among their
Mon-Tue, June 22-23, 2020
communities. The agency’s program, Kabuhayan at Kaunlaran ng Kababayang Katutubo, known as 4Ks is a special project in advocating an enhanced provision of agricultural and fisheries related livelihood aside from investments and services to the Indigenous Cultural Communities. 4Ks aims to help IPs
maximize the use of the ancestral agricultural lands and turn it into productive, profitable, self-sustained and developed resilient agricultural enterprises, as explained by OICRegional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado of DA-RFO 10. Further, said initiative is in line with DA’s centerpiece program, ALPAS COVID-19
or Ahon Lahat, Pagkaing Sapat laban sa COVID-19 or otherwise dubbed as the Agri 4Ps (Plant, Plant, Plant program) that eyes to drum up adequacy in food production amid the ongoing health crisis. Nilda B. Salas, DA-10’s Provincial Operations Center Chief for Misamis Oriental together with DA-10’s banner program and
IP coordinators (rice, corn and High Value Development Crop Program) handed the agri inputs together with the Municipal Agriculture Office of said town. The realization of the IP’s request is through the support and efforts of Senator Lawrence ‘Bong’ Go through the Department of Agriculture.# (ATCabig)

No plans yet to revise CARS program By KRIS CRISMUNDO
MANILA – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has no immediate plans to revise the Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS) program despite a drop in vehicle sales amid the pandemic. DTI Undersecretary Ceferino Rodolfo told reporters he is not confident that participating car makers in the program will reach the required volume of selling 200,000 units by end-2021 as the business environment becomes challenging amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). “We have not yet discussed it [revising the CARS program],” Rodolfo said in Filipino. “They might be given a longer time to comply with the volume target but not adjusting the volume target itself,” he added. Signed in 2015, the program targets to stimulate the local automotive industry by providing fiscal incentives to qualified car manufacturers.

LESF determines students’ preferred distance learning modality By JONARD CASTRO
Modular learning considered to be the most preferred learning modality among five learning delivery mode as Learners’ Enrolment and Survey Form revealed in the Division of Tangub City. In its partial and official released of the survey result conducted from June 1 to 16 on Household Capacity on Distance Learning, Modular Learning was on top as it marked 2,434 votes among the participants. Me anw hi le, Blende d learning garnered 1, 719 response, Online learning 362, TV Based Instruction garnered 193, and Radio – Based Instruction with 144 response received. According to Gel (interviewed learner of Mayor
Alfonso Tan High School), “I would prefer modular learning mode because we don’t have a good internet signal in our community. You need also to expense for the load. Besides, I need also to buy smartphone which is compatible for online class.” She also added that it is more secure and safe if she will choose modular since she didn’t need to come to school physically and saves money too. The survey is progressing until the end of the month giving ample time to the others who have difficulty in internet access to participate. Moreover, this survey will be one of the consideration of the division in the delivery of learning in the coming August 24 as the formal opening of classes will start.

THE COVID-19 crisis may well change our world and our global outlook. It may also teach us about how education needs to change to be able to better prepare our young learners for what the future may hold. These lessons include educating citizens in an interconnected world. COVID-19 is a pandemic that illustrates how globally interconnected we are. There is no longer such a thing as isolated issues and actions. Successful people in the coming decades need to be able to understand this
interrelatedness and navigate across boundaries to leverage their differences and work in a globally collaborative way. The notion of an educator as the knowledge holder who imparts wisdom to their pupils is no longer fit for the purpose of a 21st century education. With students being able to gain access to knowledge and even learn a technical skill through a few clicks on their phones, tablets and computers, we will need to redefine the role of the educator in the classroom. This may mean that the role of teachers will need to move towards facilitating young people’s development as contributing members of our society.

At least 20 of the new cases are males while 11 are females with ages ranged from 21 to 30 years old. The rising cases has prompted local government units in the region to implement stringent measures to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. An ordinance at the City Council of Butuan City has required incoming passengers to undergo rapid anti-body test with a P500 fee. Students, senior citizens. Solo parent, persons with disabilities, indigenous people and government workers are given 20 percent discount. For their part, the Agusan del Sur COVID-19 Task Force

Any interested party should undergo orientation before using the app, dela Peña added.
He also pointed out that the DOST does not collect any commission from the SMEs. Meanwhile, dela Peña said that at present, there are 28 OneStore hubs nationwide, where customers could walk in and purchase products. In a virtual presser, DOST Region 2 director and OneStore project leader Sancho Maborang said OneStore offers more than 12,000 products, of which more than half are food items.

Isuzu Unleashes the D-MAX Boondock 4x4 ISUZU Philippines Corporation (IPC) recently held the digital launch of the 2020 D-MAX Boondock 4×4, Isuzu’s ultimate offroader and the perfect vehicle to herald IPC’s motoring lifestyle campaign—“Live Life Differently”—that boldly responds to the challenges of the new normal. Within the “Live Life Differently” mantra, IPC encourages its clients and would-be customers to discover the endless possibilities of driving an Isuzu vehicle. To “Live Life Differently” would mean to simply go beyond the comfort of our homes, to explore the outdoors, and open ourselves up to more adventures, all the while driving an Isuzu vehicle. With the 2020 D-MAX Boondock 4×4, to “Live Life Differently” now gives the off-roader the added confidence to take his or her adventures a notch tougher, higher, and farther. IPC President Hajime Koso proudly introduced the 2020 D-MAX Boondock 4×4 as “purposely named after the mountains.
The Boondock boasts rough and rugged styling, coupled with the exceptional engine performance of Isuzu – perfect for off-road driving.” No other pickup can symbolize the Filipino off-roader’s reemergence from months of home confinement than the 2020 D-MAX Boondock 4×4, which has been designed to handle practically all types of terrain: sand, gravel, riverbed, mud, and rocks. Built upon the popular 3.0L D-MAX 4×4 LS-A model, the Boondock trademark adds an even tougher, more rugged image with the triedand-tested performance to back it up, making it the ideal pickup for the Filipino motorist looking for that one vehicle to embody the “can-do” attitude of a true offroader. The 2020 D-MAX Boondock 4×4 is
powered by the Euro4 compliant 4JJ1-TCX 4-Cylinder in-line Blue Power 3.0-liter diesel engine with VGS turbo charger and intercooler mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with gearshift indicator or a 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift, able to generate maximum power outputs of 177 PS at 3,600 RPM and 380 N-m of torque at 1,800 to 2,800 RPM. This level of power and efficiency is also expressed in the D-MAX Boondock’s design and accessories. The monotube nitrogencharged front and rear shock absorber ensures instantaneous response to changing road conditions, offering faster damping reaction. The result is an improved steering control in whatever terrain and driving condition. Steel side steps not

Furthemore, Bajaj RE has introduced creative ways to win over the challenges of daily transportation by providing Social Distancing Films [SDF) and CaRE Masks. This collective effort is initiated in hopes of lightening the load of our front liners in the hghts against Covid-19.
Education...
from page 4 Unfortunately, when the nations are not creative, they will be the losers. They cannot survive. They cannot make money. People are now easily accessible. They can be accessible to any free products and services. We can get access to lots of books to download for free. We can also get access to get the training of several skills for free. All of these will make us lose. This is for very specifically the service providers. My own experience of writing a book can be a lesson learned. I have just published a book but when it was published by the publisher last month, no
Mon-Tue, June 22-23, 2020 one buys it. It was published during the COVID-19. Today, there are many books like what I have written just now. And, they are easily downloaded for free. This is one of the examples of the new normal era. Everything is free on the internet. If we are not creative to produce something different we will not be able to survive. A blended system for the post-covid-19 is important. Part of the school process can be done online. Parts can also be done in schools or campuses. But, the more important thing is how to blend the system for creating new methods and strategies in education. All these methods or strategies should make people creative. Otherwise, nations cannot survive. Congratulations on Mindanao with the Mindanao Radio station and Mindanao Taxi transportation.

Anxiety...
from page 4 reason in real-time, and it’s a big part of what makes the human brain so powerful. But research has shown that rapidly changing circumstances, worry, and anxiety can all have a significant impact on your ability to focus. Rapidly-changing circumstances, worry, and anxiety can all have a significant impact on your ability to focus “Long before the pandemic, we completed an online study with a large group of American adults who filled out self-assessment questionnaires,” says Laine. “We saw a trend of a negative relationship between anxiety and working memory. The higher the anxiety, the lower the working memory performance.” When you’re having an acute anxious experience – say, someone, threatening is walking behind you on your way home in the dark – it means you might have trouble recalling the details of their face. A drawn-out stressful situation can also ravage the working memory, making even the simplest tasks feel more difficult than they used to be. “We’re talking about anxiety and stress that’s not acute,” says Laine. “It’s related to a deeply uncertain future. You don’t know – does it continue this summer, this autumn? Nobody knows. It’s leading us to a more
chronic anxiety situation.” New situations. New experiences. While collecting data for an as-yet-unpublished study on working memory training this spring, Laine says he and his team asked about 200 people from the UK and North America whether they had anxiety specifically linked to the pandemic. Sustained anxiety can also cause insomnia, explains Oliver Robinson of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. “Lack of sleep is a really good way of impairing working memory,” he says. “If you’re not sleeping as well, that’s a great way to wreck it.” Even if you’re not explicitly aware of being more on edge, “it’s something you’re processing,” adds Robinson. Working memory problems might also be due in part to a cognitive load that’s overwhelming your brain’s capacity. Ducking out to the shops used to be a mundane activity. Now with Covid-19, there are many more steps in the process that increase anxiety and mental load, wrote Kate Morgan. The good news is you can exercise working memory. There are lots of ‘brain games’ out there, but playing most of them, experts agree, doesn’t do anything except make you better at that game. “Cognitive training games don’t make me better at remembering my shopping list,” says Robinson. “That’s like trying to train people to play tennis by having them run.” In other words, rebooting your working memory may also mean cutting down on your news consumption and considering a break from social media. But the most effective thing to do might simply be to convince yourself it’s OK to be struggling.

Policy... from page 1
some local government units following a directive from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), will adversely affect the efforts of recovery of Mindanao if fully implemented. “In fact, this measure will even paralyze the rural economy not only of Mindanao but perhaps other rural areas of the country as well. While the intent to enforce
this policy to curb the spread of Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is noble, this measure is simply unrealistic given the fact that motorcycles are the only means of transportation in many rural areas,” Piñol said. He further said with many rural roads still unpaved and passenger vehicles not often available, motorcycles are the most convenient means of transportation. “In fact, in the Davao and Caraga Regions, Filipino ingenuity surfaced with the reengineering of heavy duty motorcycles into “Skylabs,” a name given to this unique mode of transportation because the side extensions make it appear like the “Skylab” floating in the earth’s outer orbit,” he added.

Poe stressed that concerned government units are mandated to process and approve permits and clearances for the construction of infrastructures including cell sites within the maximum period of seven working days. “To deny our people their basic right to connectivity at this crucial period is sheer neglect and dereliction of duty,” said Poe, chairperson of the Senate committee on public services. Poe expects bureaucratic challenges slowing the construction of cell sites to be promptly addressed. Securing a multitude of permits such as right of way, structural, zoning, location clearance, electrical, sanitation, mechanical and occupancy compliance, approvals from the Department of Health,

Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, and National Commission on Indigenous Peoples usually take a year. “Connectivity is a must – from health care to education and business – in dealing with this unprecedented crisis,” Poe said. Cell towers serve to elevate antennas and other communications equipment that transmit and receive signals from mobile devices, simultaneously enabling users to maintain their connection. “Hindi na dapat pang umakyat ng bundok o pumunta sa gilid ng highway ang ating mga guro at mag-aaral para lamang makasagap ng signal,” Poe lamented. The DICT earlier raised the lack of infrastructure in the country, citing that only about 20,000 towers have been built compared with Vietnam’s 70,000. “It is a huge disservice to our people if we cannot even keep them connected amid the pandemic,” Poe said.

Cabut said no one was injured in the fire incident.
How to choose the right kindergarten By RUTH S. BENDIJO Teacher I
LOOKING for a kindergarten for their children can sometimes be daunting to parents. But before parents start their shopping around though, they should first ask themselves what they want their children to achieve at kindergarten and what qualities they value most in a program. This first glance doesn’t need to be detailed but helps to quickly screen out those which do not match your needs. Secondly, parents should ask the schools to show them their legitimate school permits from DepEd. With a legitimate license, parents can expect that the school is at least monitored by DepEd with minimum fire and food safety sandards.
Lastly, parents are advised to look at more schools. The more you see, the clearer picture you will have of a school you like. And, observe in depth. This means not just talking to the first person you get in contact with but to teacher too. Observing how current students interact among themselves or even with strangers is most telling. After all, the current students reflect what your child will be akin to after enrolling in the program. Observing in depth would also mean that you must have a set of questions such as the lunch menu, daily schedule, curriculum, teachers’ qualifications, school bus, etc. However, I think the most common concern should be trust.

Italpinas Dev’t Corp. Boosted An Increase Of Sales Reservation for May 2020 June 16, 2020 - Ecofriendly Real Estate developer Italpinas Development Corporation, through its Cagayan de Oro Branch Office at Uptown Cagayan de Oro, recorded a 467% increase in sales reservations last May 2020 (compared to the same month last year). This was another record high for the company, achieved despite the on-going pandemic. “The first semester continues to be
encouraging. We are not seeing any kind of reduction in terms of the demand in the market. The market remains quite healthy. We want to thank our valued clients and our committed sales force for showing their support throughout.” said Ms. Gladys M. Echano, IDCSales Director The coronavirus pandemic has been, to say the least, grim for businesses. Widespread layoffs and furloughs have prompted about 17 percent of the country’s
unemployment rate. But during this upheaval, Cagayan de Oro IDC Sales Office has been thriving because of dramatic shifts in consumer behavior on green building’s health benefits and investment purposes. IDC said its property sales have been “encouraging” in the first semester of the year, giving the company confidence that it can at least match last year’s growth. The company believes in times like this
IDC’s environmentally friendly developments are more relevant than ever. IDC will focus on optimizing its existing portfolio of investment properties namely Primavera City at Uptown Cagayan de Oro. The company currently has two major projects. Primavera City in Cagayan de Oro is a cluster of seven buildings to be developed in four phases. Miramonti Green Residences, on the other hand, is located inside
Light and Industry Science Park in Santo Tomas, Batangas, and will be developed in two phases. Citta Bella, the second phase at Primavera City, is the newest building. It is the next eco-friendly building that will rise at Primavera City’s Uptown Cagayan de Oro location, along the junction of P.N Roa Ave. and Masterson Ave. The first phase at Primavera City, (called Citta Verde) is in ongoing construction, with
completion targetted before the end of this year. Phase 3 is Citta Grande, which is now in permitting stages. The last Phase (Phase 4) will be Citta Alta. With its unique design philosophy, IDC™ is committed to sustainable developments in harmony with the environment to bring value to investors, endusers, and the community. Being first movers in this field, IDC™ has proven its concept with the success of its projects.
