Malagana NHS: Gearing towards excellence in education through various initiatives

By ANELITO B. CALLO Principal I Malagana National High School

Managing a school is not as easy as one, two, and three. As they say, it takes a brave soul and a courageous mind to hurdle the adversities it might bring, be it on the personal aspect or the work itself. It is not easy to ponder on authority and responsibility coupled with accountability. Yet, with a precious heart I have graciously accepted the challege. The challenge that has changed my life from time to time.

As the School Head, I have always dream of the best for the school where I am assigned, the best and only the best, and I have promised that I will undertake every endeavor to the best of capacity, as the teachers, the students, the community deserve also the best.

Malagana NHS is gearing towards excellence in education

through various initiatives. With over 17 teachers and 533 students last school year, we have been on our best shots for the improvement of the school. We have been on keen and active implementation of the Magbasa Aron Ikaw Sweto (MAIS) program, in support to the Bawat Bata Bumabasa (3Bs) program advocacy of the Division Office. With this, it is worthy to note that our school has high percentage rate when it comes to number of students who are able to read and comprehend.

Last school year, we have also offered the Open High School Program to be able to still educate students who cannot come to regular class. The School Head, in one way or the other, would like to acknowledge and recognize the unified efforts of the teachers and the community, for without them, every thing will not be realized.

As said, that it takes a village to educate a child, and the Malagana stakeholders have proven it by

bestowing their full support to all our endeavors.

Part of the responsibilities of the School Head is to improve the administration and management of the school, thus, I firmly believe that this can be achieved through thorough researches. With this, I have bannered a study entitled Triple A (Assess, Assist, Award) in Hastening Teacher’s Task that has garnered the First Place in the Division Action Research Congress tilt. However, I duly acknowledge that the study did not only ran on the papers, but of practice as well, and I will continue to produce studies that would best benefit the school.

To strengthen partnership, we have coordinated with the Local Government Unit of Claveria in addressing students engagement likely to drop out through Sagip SARDO (Students at risk of dropping out) program, wherein the LGU has provided food, particularly lunch meal for the

SARDOs for about three months.

Our school has been extending its deep gratitude to the local government as the initiative has greatly influenced the academic performance of the concerned students. We are forever grateful.

Yes, the concerns of the School Head takes not only one but all of the matters within and outside the school. As others claim, may the bravest soul wins, but as for me, commitment and aspiration have fueled me to continue the passion burning.

Commitment to best serve Malagana NHS and the aspiration to be able to achieve the vision and mission of the Department of Education, for every Filipino learner to passionately love the country and to enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation. I am with DepEd. And I inspire and aspire to BE MORE. I remain.

Strengthening parental involvement to learners’ academic endeavors

By RAMIS M. CELEDONA Teacher I Opol National Secondary Technical School

Parent-teacher partnership makes tremendous impact on children’s education. According to Llamas (2016) parents become comfortable when the education system requires their involvement in school activities. The strong collaboration of parents with school authorities can lead to increased improvement in both physical and academic performance of the school. Hence, school administrators have to

encourage parents to get involved and make contribution towards helping the school achieve its missions and goals Sapungan (2014).

Seeing parents involved in the education of their children is a good thing because it improves academic performance. Learners become more focused in their school work (Kwatubana, 2015).

This motivates learners not to give up easily when they do not

understand a particular topic and will not bunk classes because they know that their parents are always monitoring their school attendance (Lemmer, 2007). Learners whose parents are involved, are active and ready to learn, they learn to be punctual from young age, they learn to be persistent as the parents would be continuously enquiring about their progress and they would not want to disappoint them.

Taking responsibility becomes a part of the nature of such children as they plan ahead and are able to do their work according to their

schedule, which is the quality of being organized (Sapungan, 2014). Through this parents can be able to make sure that their children succeed in school (Hornby, 2011).

Other benefits include those that are highlighted by Lemmer (2007) which include improved self-esteem, high rate of school attendance and positive social behaviour. Sivertsen (2015) adds that parental involvement is linked to improved behaviour, low levels of absenteeism and optimistic attitudes.

Making use of the new technology nowadays

By RHONA GRACE T. PALAMINE School Incharge Bunal Elementary School

The social media has indeed greatly impacted and affected our lives today, greatly including the lives and behavior of our young ones, our school children, our pupils. In this digital age, mostly every one of us have cellular phones, Twitter, Facebook, and are knowledgeable enough to handle and manage differing and various social media sites in the world wide web. Yes, it has

advantages and disadvantages.

On the other hand, at school, we can always integrate the use of the internet and the social media to our pupils. We can give them sites and pages that they can study over and visit and learn something from it. That is why, teachers must do the research first, check the page or what before suggest it to the pupils. We must be the one who will screen it first. As we cannot

control what these pupils would do while using the internet, it is of great deed that should remind them of the pros and cons when doing such. We should always lead to social networking sites that would best fit their taste. Also sites that would uplift their moral and good values is best plus they can read and learn short stories and then probably encourage them to apply and follow it.

Exactly, we do not have the control over our pupils but we can always remind them to be always

good and be responsible when using the internet, the most encourage them to think before they click sites and pages. As teachers, we should always remind them to use this new technology for their own development and betterment.

As these new discoveries have positive effects, we should not forget that they will surely have negative impacts as well and that it depends on them on how they will use it. The best, we should always guide our pupils and bring them to their desired path.

How to act when working with clients to avoid infections

ALWAYS keep a physical distance (1-2 m) from other people whenever possible If you need to work in close proximity to other people, avoid unnecessary discussion and being faceto-face with the client.

Try to keep the maximum duration of these encounters at 15 minutes.

Do not shake hands. You can wish someone a good day by smiling and nodding.

Clients should be actively encouraged to favour credit

and debit cards, maintain safety distances and observe hand and cough hygiene instructions. The Department of Health (DOH) website contains material on hand and cough hygiene for employees and clients.

If the clients use membership cards or other similar cards that need to be verified, avoid handling such cards.

If a client coughs or sneezes, take a few steps away from them and turn your face away from them.

JEROME DE LA FUENTE

Ask the client to cough into their sleeve. If the client continues to cough, politely ask them to step away from other clients.

If you have even mild symptoms of COVID-19, you should not go to work.

The symptoms are listed on the Department of Health or CDC website.

Letters from Davao

Ressa hates Duterte as much as she hates PH

MARIA Ressa headlines herself on Rappler where she is the executive editor: “AFTER VERDICT ON MARIA RESSA, THE WORLD PUTS DUTERTE ON TRIAL”. For the past days screaming headlines about Maria Ressa’s conviction were posted by Rappler and only those in the sanctum sanctorum know who’s drafting the story. But you can make your guess.

We took note that the verdict exonerated Rappler as it has no corporate involvement in the cybercrime of libel. For now, she makes use of Rappler as her platform to picture herself as the Joan of Arc of the press and a living martyr of freedom and democracy. And she unabashedly claims and warns in Rappler’s Facebook posts of the demise of press freedom and democracy because of the guilty sentence the court meted on her.

It’s all in the character of Maria Ressa. She ascribes her conviction on the cybercrime on her criticism against Pres. Rodrigo R. Duterte. She made it appear that the cybercrime law was passed as an instrument to stifle her rights and to indict her. For foreigners who read her accounts on Rappler, they would likely swallow hook-line-andsinker how she tweaked her guilty verdict as the handiwork of her pet peeve - Pres. Rodrigo Duterte.

My gosh, I covered Duterte for almost three decades.

He had been maligned by his political adversaries who did not stop at filing charges against him before the Ombudsman. He and even his family members were subjects of scurrilous black propaganda from paid hacks of his political enemies. Duterte never ever filed a single case of libel against his detractors. He won all the trumped-up charges filed against him in Court and when he became President, forgave his

political enemies.

Remember this. The complaint filed against Ressa and the cyber law was passed during the term of ex-Pres.

Benigno Simeon Aquino III. In another case which involved the probe done by the Security Exchange Commission on Rappler, Maria was questioned for accepting foreign investments amounting to $1.5-million from the controversial Omidyar Network. Foreign ownership, either partly or wholly, is not allowed under the Philippine constitution.

Ressa simply shuts back saying it was Duterte’s way of suppressing her press freedom. She skipped the fact that the members of the SEC that pried into her records were, again, appointees of Aquino. To wiggle out of the case ON declared that it is donating the amount to the Ressa and the rest of the 14 staff members of Rappler. So there you are.

I can dismiss the wily moves of Maria Ressa including how she extrapolated the number of deaths she claimed were victims of Duterte- instigated extrajudicial killings. I had suspected then that it was her style to indulge in exaggeration and speculation. She started off with 1,200 plus victims of EJK perpetrated by the mythical Davao Death Squad, then added Sen. Leila De Lima’s estimate of 7,000 “innocent” victims of Duterte’s drug war during a senate hearing. When finally Ressa spoke to the American media the figure blazoned to 27,000 EJK victims. (On the eve of the ASEAN Forum in Manila, Amnesty International reported that 30-million Filipinos were victims of EJK).

Maria Ressa exudes eloquence with an impeccable American accent. And alas, the western media believed her tales and proceeded to prize her citing her travails in the Philippines. And she was a sought-after-guest in western media outlets which

Jun Ledesma

gobbled her story. She was a celebrity!. CBS wanted a first-person account of what was obtained in the Philippines under Pres. Duterte. In the program “60 Minutes”, she described hosting Bill Whitaker that “the environment is worse than being in a war zone. It is far worse than any war zone that I’ve been in,” she blurted without batting an eyelash. She went on to say that “we’ve been living through three years of this kind of hell”.

Oh, how easily she could conjure a scenario and tells her foreign audience she survived it through.

Whitaker and CBS must have believed they got a scoop from a “ be-medaled war correspondent”. In fact, it was a grand tomfoolery.

Against Ressa’s claim Philippines credit rating was upgraded by Fitch, S&P and Moody’s as investmentgrade under the administration of Duterte. Two weeks ago Japan Credit Rating Agency raised that to “A-“ and stable. Oxford Economics placed the Philippine among the top 10 countries in the world that are investment-worthy. Duterte, who has been the target of an incessant tirade by political opposition and its black propaganda machinery that includes Ressa, enjoys an unprecedented trust and approval ratings across every segment of society. In the last midterm elections, the political party of Duterte trounced all the senatorial bets of the opposition, which included an Aquino. Is this the kind of country that is a war zone? Is this the kind of leader that Ressa belittles and so detests?

The media in the Philippines is one of the freest in the world. The industry does not revolve in Rappler, See HATES, page 11

COVID-19 affected farmers and fisherfolk in NorMin allotted P62.5-M SURE COVID-19 loan grants Cagayan de Oro City - At least 2,500 farmers and fisherfolk in Northern Mindanao whose livelihood adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are due to receive a total of P62.5 million loan assistance from the Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Credit Policy Council (DA-ACPC).

Under the Expanded Survival and Recovery (SURE) Aid Project or SURE COVID-19 financing program of DA-ACPC, marginalized farmers and fisherfolk may be granted a maximum of P25,000 non-collateralized, no interest financial loan payable in ten years.

Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) may avail a maximum P10 million as financing assistance.

Said financing program was born on DA’s Ahon Lahat, Pagkaing Sapat (ALPAS) Kontra COVID-19 campaign.

The program grants special loan to COVID-19 affected farmers and fisherfolk, capacitating them to bounce back from the pandemic’s adversities.

The DA-ACPC financing assistance is primarily grounded on the goal of ensuring unhampered food production and increased food supply nationwide, amidst onset of COVID-19 crisis.

“Our farmers in the region are affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Due to strict community quarantine their live-

lihood were compromised, and we need to step up and maximize our efforts helping them come around the crisis,” said DA-10 OIC-Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado.

“In April and May we have released a total of P185.4 million financial assistance to rice farmers in the region thru the Financial Subsidy to Rice Farmers (FSRF) and Rice Farmers Financial As-

sistance (RFFA). Now we are aiming to assist more farmers through DA-ACPC loan assistance. This initiative will make our farmers to stay productive while coping with the pandemic,” Director Collado furthered.

The DA-ACPC started releasing the Expanded SURE Aid COVID-19 loan grants in May. As of date, the council has released P15.4 million

SP. PROC. CASE NO. 351-M

Petitioner,

Ermita, a farmer from Balingasag, Misamis Oriental exclaimed.

A total of 80 municipalities and cities in Northern Mindanao are covered by DA-ACPC SURE COVID-19 financing program.

Starting this month ACPC will be in full swing, releasing the loan grants in all Northern Mindanao provinces, including Lanao del Norte and Camiguin.

“We are targeting to round up the SURE COVID-19 loan assistance in July. Although our time frame greatly depends on the LGUs’ responsiveness in submitting the list of qualified grantees. Our partner lending institution also have their protocols to observe in releasing the loans. Nevertheless, we are pretty much on track,” said Joan A. Vargas, ACPC Project Development Officer III. In a report, Vargas disclosed ACPC also had released P31.5 million worth of financing loans to micro and small agricultural enterprises in Northern Mindanao through the Expanded SURE Aid and Recovery Project.

“We are hopeful this financing assistance of the government will benefit and help the farmers and fisherfolk in Region 10, especially in this time of crisis. This assistance hopefully enable them to recover and get back to their livelihood,” Vargas expectantly added.

The SURE COVID-19 financing assistance were released to farmers and fisherfolk through DA-ACPC accredited conduit lending institutionns in Northern Mindanao: PITAC MPC, Mindanao Consolidated Cooperative Bank (MCCB), Lorenzo Tan MPC, 1st Valley Bank, Paglaum MPC and Bangko sa Balay Foundation, Inc.#(ATalib)

6K BPO jobs to cut down unemployment: Bello

By VILLAMOR VISAYA, JR.

CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela – At least 6,000 jobs in business process outsourcing (BPO) companies will put a “silver lining on job opportunities” amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) health crisis affecting the countr y’s workforce, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said.

Bello told the Philippine News Agency in an exclusive interview at his residence in Baligatan village here on Sunday that the global economic downturn caused by the pandemic has, on the other hand, brought the resurgence

of the BPO industry with many companies abroad eyeing offices in Metro Manila, Clark, and Cebu areas.

“BPO companies had notified us in posting thousands of additional seats to fill up their manpower requirements and we hope that this will fill-in the void caused by the temporary displacement of at least two million private workers due to the pandemic,” he said.

Bello also rued the Philippine Statistics Authority survey report of a sevenmillion job displacement as “mere estimates”, saying only 2.7 million laid off Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III (PNA photo by Villamor Visaya Jr.)

MisOr COVID-19 task force, dunay bag-ong pahimangno KAMULO karong adlawa, Hunyo 23, ang Provincial Task Force for COVID-19 sa ilang panagtapok alang sa paggama og bag-o ug dugang guidelines sa ilang preparasyon kon ugaling adunay mahitabong local transmission sa coronavirus disease 2019 sa Misamis Oriental.

Lakip sa panagtapok si Gov. Bambi Emano, kinsa maoy mimando nga himuon kini sa task force nga gipangulohan ni Dr. Jerie Calingasan, aron masiguro nga walay kagubot, kalibog ug kataranta ang katawhan kon ugaling matala, simbako, ang pagtakboy sa virus

nga magsumikad mismo sa lalawigan.

Nagtuo si Gov. Emano nga kon walay masayang nga oras ug kon kanunay “onestep ahead” sa pagpakabana ang kadagkoan sa lalawigan, hilabina ang task force, dili imposible nga magpadayon

nga zero local transmission gihapon ang Misamis Oriental.

Ning pagbalita, kamulo pa’g gama ang grupo sa bag-ong guidelines nga ipatuman sa lalawigan kalabot niini nga hisgotanan.

Teaching in the new normal Economic...

By RUTH S. BENDIJO Teacher I

AS the demand for online learning increases, DepEd underscores the need for various sectors to work together in providing Internet services and connectivity to teachers who are the education sector’s very own frontliners amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The demand for online learning is huge. It is very important that Internet service providers, telecommunications companies, LGUs and DICT work together in the spirit of Bayanihan to provide Internet services and connectivity to teachers who are ready to learn and be capacitated to facilitate learning under these very trying times.

The desire to upskill our-

selves and our excitement over webinar sessions is testament of our resourcefulness and fortitude despite the lack of mobile coverage in our areas. The magnitude of teachers who have shown interest in learning ICTbased teaching is a testament of our commitment to learn new ways of teaching that will ensure the safety of our children.

Until formal classes start using blended/distance learning approaches, teachers are expected to attend orientation and training activities on the utilization of the distance learning delivery modalities, prepare instructional materials and plan the organization of classes in consideration of the learning delivery modalities to be employed.

The ‘why’ of life

According to Friedrich Nietzche, “He who has a ‘why’ to live can bear with almost any how”. When we are clear with our purpose in life, we are certain on the direction we are heading. We see challenges as just merely test of strength and endurance designed to make us or break us. The uncertainties however cloudy it may be will always bring us back to our ultimate ‘why’ in life.

Our foremost ‘why’ in life is our family. We love our family so much because this is the reason of our existence.

We strive to be the best in whatever we do to make our family happy and proud of us.

We can do almost anything, even sacrificing our own individuality and priorities for our family. Our family is our source of joy, strength and genuine happiness.

Our love for our job and the innate love for others and humanity comes next to our main ‘why’. We develop a sense of togetherness and belongingness in our childhood when we began to play with neighbours and when we were in school. Our choices were influenced largely with the kind of friends that we associate ourselves. Even lifestyle and career path were inclined with peer choices.

We have created and extended our love for others which have become our other source of happiness and fulfilment.

In this time of pandemic,

we realized that life is indeed simple and we only need the essentials. Clean water, air and food. We also saw the importance of maintaining proper hygiene and cleanliness in our surroundings.

In quarantine, we appreciated the days spent with our children and other family members. We discovered their interests and passion and we became connected with each other more deeply.

We embraced this “new normal” with uncertainties.

We are caught with an unprecedented state of health problem that changed our lives extremely. Fortunately, this predicament has led us into our consciousness of what is truly our ‘why’. We respond to orders obediently and humbled ourselves to front liners. We spread our wings and share our bounty to those who have less in life and we felt happier. We were one as a nation to find solution and become part of the fight to save lives. We have subconsciously become each other brother’s keeper.

My purpose and your purpose may be different.

Maybe it varies with the degree of importance or maybe by choice. But one thing is certain, we all want to live and be happy. This pandemic may extend a year, two years, or even more, but our strength and our faith as a nation, as a family and as an individual will bring us to success and we shall bounce back and meaningfully live with our ‘why’.

Stability Board, the Bank for International Settlements, and the International Monetary Fund have defined “systemic risks” as disruptions to the financial system which can negatively affect the rest of the economy.

The FSCC Chairman noted that “the systemicness of risks is not defined by the initial shock but rather the pervasiveness of its full effects.” He stressed that the FSCC is concerned of small shocks that can escalate to bigger and more extensive risks to the system. He then compared this with the spread of the 2019 corona virus disease (COVID-19), which he says epitomizes systemic risks.

The FSCC highlighted that it views the financial system as a network that links various stakeholders, their transactions, and their views on risks. The Council then assesses both strengths and vulnerabilities in the context of such network.

The FSCC Chairman went on to assure the public that the health of the financial sysEXTRAJUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF CONJUGAL PROPERTY AND ESTATE OF MEGDONIO LLAMERA WITH DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:

The Council took the opportunity to launch the April 2020 release of the Financial Stability Report (FSR). The FSR will now be released on a semestral basis with the FSCC noting that the shift from an annual to a semestral release reflects its commitment to being responsive to the times.

The FSCC Chairman also made mention of two other initiatives of the Council.

These include the forthcoming release of the Macroprudential Policy Strategy Framework. Macroprudential policies refer to the intervention of authorities for managing systemic risks.

He also announced that the work on a Systemic Risk Crisis Management Framework is already underway. He was quick to clarify however, that having a crisis management framework does not suggest any imminent vulnerability but rather a preemptive move.

51Talk’s Social Media Campaign Brings Attention to Teach from Home

“Online education goes mainstream due to COVID-19, providing brand-new remote job opportunity for Pilipino.”

THE Philippine Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said on May 20 that his department estimated around 4 to 5 million Filipinos will be unemployed due to the coronavirus pandemic, following the month-long nationwide lockdown.

Though lockdowns have been effectively flattening the infection cur ve, the trade-off is painful. As tourism, trade, and consumption drastically drop during the lockdowns, Philippine labour market may face an even more gloomy future.

Though the onsite job opportunities keep shrinking in the following months, another chance is opening for the Filipinos who have to work from home.

Since February, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced K-12 school districts to close, and sent more than 290 million children and youths home, data from UNESCO showed. Learning online has then become the only choice.

This increase in demand has boosted online education platforms like 51Talk in China.

51Talk is China’s largest online English education company, and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (COE) in 2016. It brings together students and teachers for live, online English lessons. By providing students across China with access to the world’s best quality education, 51Talk is achieving its mission of helping China speak with the world.

According to 51Talk, there is a shortage of 500,000 foreign English-language teachers in China. The company said it now has 10 million registered students, and more than 20,000 partner teachers in the Philippines.

The founder and CEO of 51Talk, Jack Huang, see the outbreak as a turning

point in the online education industry. “With the exploding demand for Englishspeaking teachers in China, there is probably never been a better time than right now to teach English online.”

Huang said, adding that they still need 30,000 more teachers by 2020.

Amid the pandemic, online teacher turned out to be one of the least affected job. Many online teachers in the Philippines typically work from home, which insulated them from the home quarantine measures that have devastated other businesses.

At the same time, being an online teacher can be very rewarding. In 2019, the average monthly salary in the Philippines was about 50.6 thousand Philippine pesos, meanwhile a 51Talk online teacher earns more than 60,000 pesos per month.

“Due to the increasing number of students in 51Talk, the home-based job is very profitable and

meaningful,” said Selphie, a five-year online teacher with 51Talk. “Not only do we get to teach regularly but we also get to learn more about Chinese culture from students of all ages. It has always been fun exchanging ideas with them and knowing that you’re helping

them talk to the world more confidently, one class at a time.”

Recently, a post of 51Talk has generated a great deal of attention on social media.

In the post, the founder and CEO of 51Talk Jack Huang called the Filipinos to join 51Talk as online teachers, to together combat the coronavirus job losses. “If the pandemic took your job, then 51Talk can offer you a new one,” said Huang through the video, adding that “There is probably never been a better time than right now to teach English online.”

Renowned actress Dimples Romana also stands with 51Talk. She reposted the video on May 26 and stated to her over 200,000 fans that “earning from home is one of the best ways to adapt to the new normal”.

“I know that livelihood of some of our Kababayans out there is affected by the current health crisis”, She said, “51Talk is a good opportunity for anyone amidst

the pandemic.”

“The pandemic has put thousands of jobs at risk, and this has been particularly hard for the Philippines’ single mothers,” Sophia, a single mother of two commented. “51Talk brings light to our lives. As English is my mother tongue, the only thing I need to be an online English teacher is a reliable internet connection and a laptop.”

As Huang see it, Filipino have natural advantages to be online English teacher.

“The Philippines is one of the best English-speaking countries in Asia. Filipino teachers have standard American pronunciation.

More than 1 million Filipinos work at call centres in the United States,” said Jack Huang. “All you need is a stable internet connection, a laptop, a built-in or external webcam, a headset, and a quiet space to teach.”

Looking for an ideal job amid outbreak? Here comes the perfect solution: Being an online teacher with 51Talk.

following the grenade throwing of the police checkpoint in Cabanglasan a week ago.

Garcia said that the government troopers engaged the NPA rebels in a running gun battle, which resulted in the seizure of four M16 Rifles, one Carbine, one improvised M203 Grenade Launcher, assorted medicines, and personal belongings.

The military also recovered one C4 land mine, two anti-personnel mines, six mobile phones, a laptop computer, four M14 magazines, three burners, two identification cards with pictures and subversive documents in the encounter site.

Garcia said that the cooperation of the residents in the surrounding communities in Cabanglasan led to the successful operation of the government troopers in the area.

No casualties were reported on the government side in the series of armed encounter with the NPA rebels, he said.

CNN, or ABS-CBN as westerners may be of the impression. There are thousands of national and regional newspapers, television and radio stations operating nationwide.

Libel? What’s so threatening with libel? On a personal note, I have been sued four times, twice during martial law, indicted in each but I put up a defense and got exonerated. The only difference between me and Maria is that I was accused by politicians who felt maligned by my articles, while she demeaned a private person. Too, it is strange why she did not put up a defense except by telling the court that it was her subordinate, Rey Santos, who wrote the libelous story.

As an editor, she knew she is accountable.

But why does Maria Ressa think that the Philippines is worse than any war zone?

“Like hell” she asserts.

She has dual citizenship - American and Filipino.

But she opted to stay in the Philippines where she had been living in style and comfort. As often as she wants she flies out of the country any time she wishes. She is free as a bird. It is therefore absurd why she described the Philippines in a state of war? She tells her American audience in every opportunity and klieg lights that she has been in the receiving end of threats from rapists, hate calls, and warning of being beheaded. I don’t know who the beast would attempt to rape her. Thousands of hate calls? I doubt whether there are 10 people outside her circle who would know her number. Beheading?

Only the Abu Sayyaf and Maute ISIS terrorists would do that. Paranoia? I doubt if she is suffering from a serious paranoid personality

disorder. So who is directing her in assailing Duterte and destroying the image of my native land?

Maria Ressa studied at Princeton University where she took up molecular biology and theater. She must not have been told that to malign a person, especially a private individual, constitute libel, and to tarnish the image of her motherland partakes of treason.

On weekends, the PCOO chief visits areas outside Metro Manila to identify resources that provinces can offer to returning residents.

With this, the identified province can help navigate the directions of the national government on which sectors they should invest on and provide assistance.

Recently, he visited Lucena City in Quezon Province where he inspected the ongoing port expansion and rehabilitation of the Lucena Fish Port Complex (LFPC).

Other provinces that Secretary Andanar has already visited are Benguet, Nueva Ecija, and Batangas.

The BP2 program seeks to create equal economic development and employment opportunities across regions in the country to empower local businesses, boost food security and agricultural productivity, and enable further infrastructure development in rural areas.

As of now, the said program of the government has been temporarily suspended to pave way for the safe return of locally stranded individuals and overseas Filipino workers through the Hatid Tulong program. However, enrollment and evaluation of enrollees of the program are continuous.

check the arrival of LSIs who might be possibly infected with the COVID-19 virus,” Emano said.

He said that Dr. Jerrie P. Calingasan, the head of the provincial task force for COVID-19 in Misamis Oriental, has confirmed that two LSI from Cebu were recently found positive for the COVID-19 virus.

With the two COVID-19 positive cases, Misamis Oriental has now a total of five COVID-19 positive cases since the arrival of LSIs from Manila and Cebu as of Wednesday, Calingasan said.

According to Calingasan, there is no locally transmitted COVID-19 case in Misamis Oriental since March 2020 until now, because the confirmed COVID-19 cases in Misamis Oriental were LSI and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW).

Calingasan said that the first of the three COVID-19 positive in Misamis Oriental who was initially found COVID-19 positive was an OFW while the two others that follow were the 30-year0ld father and one-year-old daughter, were LSIs from Tondo, Manila.

The latest COVID-19 positive cases involved two LSIs who separately arrived in

the port of entry in Misamis Oriental via passenger vessel came from Cebu City.

The patients were found positive after undergoing Rapid Detection Test (RDT) on their arrival and after a confirmatory testing while being held in an isolation unit, Calingasan said.

A team of LGU personnel, equipped with Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), whisked the LSIs immediately on their arrival at any port of entry in Misamis Oriental where they would be transported to an isolation unit to undergo various COVID-19 medical protocols.

The NMMC is the only government referral hospital in Northern Mindanao catering for the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Camiguin and Bukidnon.

The DOH regional laboratory unit also conducted a total of 952 separate examinations of patients from various provinces in the region and found 97 patients positive for the COVID-19 while the remaining 855 were negative for the COVID-19 virus.

all forms of transportation limited to LSIs only from June 22 to July 4.

The move was in response to Resolution No. 41 of Caraga Regional IATFEID which asked the national IATF-EID to impose the moratorium of sweeper flights, mercy voyage and all modes of transportation for ROFs and LSIs after their influx has started to reach to 5,994.

Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles who also sits as Caraga Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security told Agusan del Norte Gov. Dale Corvera, regional chairperson of Regional Task Force Against COVID-19 One Caraga Shield, that the national IATF-EID has allowed the moratorium only for LSIs pending accreditation of the region’s proposed COVID-19 laboratory testing centers.

Financing education in the Philippines

By REABELLE ANNE I. HUERTAS Administrative Assistant II Division of Tangub City

FINANCING of education in the Philippines is mainly by the government and by households and since the 1990s, there has been a shift in the public/private mix in education financing towards higher private share. Between 2007 and 2040, the schooling age population of the Philippines is projected to continue to increase in size and the age structure to shift towards higher proportion in the age group that attend college. The education consumption age profiles by income group affect the distribution of total education expenditures and per capita private education costs by income group.

Of the school-age population, the most numerous are

The approval of the moratorium came when Caraga has recorded a rapid increase of COVID-19 positive cases to 87 as of June 20, a tenfold spike in barely three weeks from just eight cases.

Charito Plaza, director general of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) who helped facilitate the travel home of some 2,200 LSIs and ROFs in Caraga was disheartened to learn the sudden halt of the “Hatid Probinsya” program saying there are still more than 500 remaining Caraga residents scheduled to return home in June 27.

She said the effort to bring home stranded Caraga residents in Metro Manila and Cebu was a joint effort of PEZA, partner private firms, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration for ROFs and Department of Tourism for LSIs. Plaza criticized local officials in Caraga for blaming the program on the spike of COVID positive cases saying the local government units (LGUs) were just not really prepared to facilitate their returning residents after more than three months of the COVID crisis.

“Some LGUs are good and medical monitoring are good but many others badly need improvement,” adding that “it’s unfair and unfounded to blame us for bring the OFWs and LSIs as COVID carriers in Caraga.”

Plaza, who hails from Butuan City, questioned why the LGUS in Cagayan de Oro City and Davao City facilitated and welcomed their returning residents while the Caraga local of-

In contrast for the top income group, the most numerous are in college level ages (17 to 24 years old) at around 500,000 or more at each age. For the middle income group, there are equal numbers at each age ranging from 550,000 to 650,000 at each age.

Private household expenditures cover not only costs of students attending private schools but also costs of students attending public schools.

In public elementary and secondary schools, tuition is free but there are other school fees and voluntary contributions collected from households such as for the PTA.

“From the very start most LGUS in Caraga never wanted OFWs and LSIs to go home so that there were never a show of interest and concern to their sad plight,” she noted.

Plaza refuted the Regional IATF claim of the rising cases attributed to the massive influx of returning residents citing figures of LSIs who availed of sweeper flights and mercy voyages from Manila and Cebu and arrived in Butuan City Bancasi Airport and Nasipit Seaport from May 26 to June 20 which recorded only 18 COVID positive cases from 1,311 passengers.

Philippine Eagles Week celebrated through outreaches

By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

THE Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) led by executive national vice president Nelson AlontoSarapuddin celebrated the 2020 Philippine Eagles Week in these times of COVID-19 crisis solemnly through various outreaches.

In a video message, Sarapuddin said that the focus of the celebration this year must be to help the people who have been displaced in the crisis.

“As your executive vice president, una sa lahat, alalayan natin ang lahat na nangangailangan ng ating tulong. Huwag mag-alinlangang bigyan ng suporta ang mga nangangailangan,” Sarapuddin said.

Sarapuddin is indeed leading as an example by

donating P5,000 to the club where he began his Eagles journey nine years ago – the Metro Cagayan Eagles Club.

Coincidentally, the Metro Cagayan Eagles Club also celebrated their ninth anniversary last June 12 with a lunch pack distribution to checkpoints and frontliners from Puerto to Opol thanks to the generosity of Sarapuddin with his P5,000 support.

Next, Sarapuddin donated 15 sacks of rice to NMR-1 last June 21. Then he met with the governors of NMR-4, NMR-2, WMR-6 and NMR-3 to turn over assorted goods to be distributed by their respective regions.

In Cagayan de Oro City, Sarapuddin personally witnessed rice distribution at barangays Camaman-an and Mambuaya.
