Duck raising, an alternative as ASF hurts hog raising industry By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY: The provincial veterinary office of Misamis Oriental is distributing 5,000 “ready to lay”’ (RTL) ducks to hog raisers as the African Swine Fever (ASF) has continued to infect more towns in Misamis Oriental. Provincial Veterinarian Benjie Resma said Monday that tne dreaded ASF was detected recently in the towns of Tagolo-an, Villanueva, Balingasag and Talisayan, all eastern towns in Misamis Oriental. He said that about 5,000 RTL ducks, are to be initially distributed to 15 farmers who were validated as qualified for duck raising in the hard hit ASF towns in Misanis Oriental’s west
coast. Each of the 15 validated farmers are entitled to 50 RTL ducks where the eggs are sold in the market in a form of “balot,” a boiled 16 to 18 day egg prior to hatching, considered by the Filipinos as “aphrodisiac.” Resma said that the provincial government will assist in the marketing of the duck eggs as an alternative source of income to farmers affected by the ASF. He said that not all farmers would qualify for the RTL duck raising because of the criteria set in the validation like the area for range ducks, and the availability of water. The distribution of the RTL ducks was conceptualized to cushion the See HURTS, page 9

4 month old Baby Yuan of Malaybalay City needs your help! By JOEL C. ESCOL MDNN News Editor and OSCAR LEDESMA MDNN Bukidnon Bureau Chief
MALAYBALAY CITY - If there is a very hurting story that challenges the lives of every couple, it’s when their baby is sick and rushed to the nearest hospital. This is the very sad and heartwarming story of Angel Bayron Misto and Jhonrey Atillo Solijon. Their
4 month-old baby Yuan was admitted at the Bethel Hospital in Malaybalay City, the heart of the province of Bukidnon. The couple lives in Purok 2 Capinonan, Cabanglasan, one of the towns in Bukidnon which is very near to Malaybalay City. It would only take you less than an hour by bus or passenger jeepney to be able to reach to this 4th class municipal-
ity. “We are knocking at your kind heart to please help Yuan survive this challenge of his life. We need financial help and more prayers for our four month old baby Yuan, says Angel crying, the 15 year-old mother of Yuan. BABY’S CONDITION MDNN learned from the biological parents of Baby Yuan that his condition
started with having a greencolor human waste and then he kept on vomiting until he became dehydrated and vomitted Milo-colored watery substance. The worst thing was when his human waste was all blood, and he was immediately rushed at Bethel Hospital in Malaybalay City last June 14, 2021.

DAVAO CITY – The Philippine Identification (PhilID) card will now be accepted when applying for a passport and in other related transactions at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). “Department of Foreign Affairs, Republic of the Philippines has announced that it will begin accepting the national ID or PhilID as valid proof of identity for passport applications and other consular services transactions,” the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) posted on Facebook on June 21. The DFA’s move supports PSA’s reminder to government agencies and the private sector to accept PhilID in transactions, as mandated by Republic Act (RA) 11055 or the Philippine Identification System Act (PhilSys). “For purpose of establishing proof of identity for transacting business with any government agency, the presentation of the PhilID or PSN (PhilSys Number) shall constitute sufficient proof thereof, subject to proper authentication. Provided, that when authentication cannot be performed, without any fault on the part of the cardholder or holder of a PSN, the PSA shall ensure that he or she will not be disadvantaged or prejudices thereby,” Section 12 of RA 11055 read.

The first of these was the “new normal” in learning. It has been a huge problem for the youth especially on how they will approach this) In response to the lowered morale of their youth in the new normal, Ople said the SK proceeded to give school kits and materials to their partner schools as a boost to teachers and See URGES, page 10

PNoy passed away last Thursday at the age of 61. Like any man and like any President, he had his share of flaws. But I wish to remember him for his better qualities. He was humble, dignified, straightforward in manner and speech, and most important for me as a Filipino, he defended our patrimony. I first met him when he was still a presidential son. Not yet thirty at that time, (he still had thick hair), PNoy became an instant crush of high school students in Muntinlupa where he attended the finals of the Ninoy Aquino oratorical contest. Since assuming office in 1986 as Muntinlupa mayor up to the time I left in 1998, I tried to institutionalize an annual oratorical contest (around August 21) to honor his late father. Later, hearing about PNoy’s fancy for guns, I invited him to try our newly opened gun range at the Alabang stock farm. He did not disappoint as he consistently drilled holes at the center of paper targets and dropped metal plates from varying distances and shooting positions. I really get irritated whenever a convoy of a dignitary, with sirens blazing, jumps the line espe-
cially during heavy traffic. If they do not want to be late for their appointments, why don’t they just leave home early, like the rest of us, to avoid the traffic. Perhaps fully aware of the sensitivities of the ordinary motorists, PNoy shunned the use of “wang wang”. I was driving at normal speed towards Silang, Cavite one weekend when I noticed flashing lights at my rear view mirror. I slowed down a bit to allow the convoy to overtake me but it did not. When I turned left to a side road, the convoy followed. As soon as I parked my car, I noticed PNoy alight from his presidential vehicle. On the invitation of then BSP Governor Amando Tetangco, Jr., PNoy had come to try out the newly constructed BSP gun range where, a la American sniper Chris Kyle, he easily downed round metal targets at 200 meters with his scope-mounted rifle. Good voyage to the home of our Heavenly Father, PNoy. Please say “hi” to your Mom and Dad for us. Do not ever let your guard down I received sad news from a family friend that his brother-in-law recently died of Covid. The deceased and his bereaved wife had been very careful and had stayed

home since the quarantine started in March 2020. It is surmised that his brotherin-law was infected through food deliveries. Meanwhile, an office mate reported one family who tested positive even after receiving their first dose of Aztra Zeneca. Fortunately, their symptoms were very mild. There has been quite a confusion arising from conflicting statements on the use of face shields. So, just play it safe. Always have your face shields ready. Tez Navarro, Muntinlupa City’s PIO, gave this update on the vaccination in Muntinlupa City to date: Total vaccinated: 147,989. Vaccinated with First Dose: 119,560. Vaccinated with Second Dose: 28,429. 224,574 have signed up for Muntinlupa’s vaccination program, representing 58 percent of the target population.

Letters from Davao
The silence of Mindanao
THE International Criminal Court (ICC) has become a domineering institution that is presented as a prosecutor and judge at the same time. It does not respect the justice system of sovereign nations and lump the victims of its misplaced prejudices with countries that have neither functioning government nor an iota of judicial mechanisms. The ICC decides based on the whims of its prosecutor like Fatou Bensouda who recommended the formal investigation of President Rodrigo Duterte over his war on drugs and issues of alleged extra-judicial killings she claimed is carried out by the Davao Death Squad. DDS, she asserts, was organized by the President when he was still Mayor of Davao City and for that pronouncement alone she has reduced herself into a nincompoop. These are the facts about the mythical Davao Death Squad. DDS was conceptualized sometime in 1982 by Integrated National Police Regional Director, Gen. Dionisio Tan-gatue Jr. It was a phantom force, no warm bodies, used by the general as psychological warfare to counter the vicious liquidation squads of the NPAs called “Sparrows”. He also later came up with another
ghost forces called “Christian Soldiers for Democracy”. That time Duterte was an Assistant City Fiscal (Asst. City Prosecutor in today’s legal term) and was investigating soldiers, policemen, members of the civilian home defense force, and suspected NPAs involved in killings. The problem of Bensouda is that she swallowed hook-line-and-sinker the fairy tales and statistics contrived by the political opposition in the Philippines and some quarters in the media who extrapolated death statistics to suit their dubious agenda. Did she really believe detained Sen. Leila de Lima that more than 2,000 EJK victims were buried in an abandoned quarry adjacent to some housing subdivision in Davao City? Did she also believe Maria Ressa of Rappler tweaked her death statistics from 3,000 to 7,000 and then raised it to 27,000? “This is far worse than any war zone that I’ve been in,” she lied to Bill Whitaker of CBS “60 Minutes” and yet insists and persists on staying in the Philippines even though she is an American citizen? Did Fatou include in her report the claim of Amnesty International that 30 million Filipinos perished in government-sponsored
Jun Ledesma
EJK? Bensouda is totally ignorant about the extent of operations of drug syndicates in the country which government administrations that precede Duterte had virtually ignored. In deference to the death of past Pres. Benigno Simeon Aquino III I will not go beyond saying that drug laboratories and organized crimes proliferated in the country especially in Metro Manila. The gall of this prosecutor to indict our President and yet closed her eyes in the ongoing bloody drug wars in Mexico where tens of thousands die in the hands of the drug cartels. How can Bensouda play possum on the drug affliction in the US that claims thousands of lives amidst the proliferation of $36-billion worth of drugs from neighboring Mexico and not counting yet those that come from Columbia where crimes and murders attributed to drugs happen. Closer to home is the drug menace in Thailand See SILENCE, page 11

A4 workers mass vaccination kicks-off; NCR+8 mayors and private sector pledge commitment By OPS-PCOO Published on June 7, 2021
PASAY CITY, June 7 -- The mass vaccination of Priority Group A4, or the so-called economic frontliners started today, June 7, 2021, with the symbolic vaccination of 50 workers from various sectors at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. “Ang okasyon na ito ang hudyat ng simula ng muling pagbangon ng Pilipinas, dahil ang mababakunahan ngayong araw ay ang ating A4 workforce. Dahil dito, ang pagbabakuna sa A4 ay masasabi nating game changer sa ating laban sa COVID-19,” said Presidential Spokesperson Secretary Harry Roque Jr, who joined fellow Cabinet members in the said event. With the expected increase in the country’s vaccine supply this June, the Inter-Agency Task Force has agreed to expand the list of individuals for priority vaccination to the Priority Group A4 to include those who work outside their homes and have high levels of interaction with the public. “We can now see the
light at the end of the tunnel as the vaccine shipments have arrived, have started to arrive in bulk. This development is the result of our national government’s aggressive efforts to secure sufficient doses from the different manufacturers,” said President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in a taped message for the event. President Duterte also reminded the public to continue to adhere to the minimum public health standards. “To my dear kababayans, let us keep in mind that vaccination is the only way forward for us to overcome this pandemic, but we must also remember that getting vaccinated is not the only solution. We must continue to observe minimum health standards by wearing a mask, washing our hands, and observing social distancing,” said President Duterte. To help jumpstart the safe reopening of the economy, A4 vaccination will start in areas with dense economic activity and high risk of exposure to COVID-19.

Advantages of Modular Distance Airlifts... from page 6 Learning 9 million COVID-19 doses from By FRANCISCA G. ADLAON Principal I, Kinoguitan Central School
Community lockdowns due to COVID-19 l pandemic came as a “shock” to everyone, students and teachers alike. One of the most often-used terms after the pandemic is the term “new normal.” The new normal in education is the increased use of online learning tools. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered new ways of learning, modular distance, and online learning. Distance education is different from the traditional education. Distance education is that educational information and instruction is taught to learners who are physically distant from the source of that information and instruction. Distance education, also called distance learning, provides learning chances to people who could not afford time or money for traditional classes or who lived in remote areas far from schools. Because of the expansion of the Internet in recent years, the Internet has become the most important tool for delivering distance education. Distance learning occurs when there is a separation between the teacher and the student, usually due to geographical or time concerns that prevent the student from attending an on-campus course. Often, electronic means are used to bridge this gap and distribute educational material though distance learning programs using printed and mailed materials have existed for well over a hundred years. These programs have usually been specially designed to help best meet the needs and requirements that arise when learning is taking place outside of a traditional classroom setting. The majority of distance education today takes place using the Internet, now readily accessible for the vast majority of students whether in their own homes or at facilities such as local libraries.
These electronic means are used to distribute the learning material, keep students in touch with teachers, and provide access to communication between students. Distance learning can use other technological formats as well including television, DVDs, teleconferencing, and printable material, but the immediacy and functionality of Web learning has made it a first choice for many distance learners. Online programs often take advantage of a number of emerging technologies to make keeping in touch and effectively communicating ideas easier and more efficient than ever before and students may find themselves using interactive videos, e-mail, and discussion boards to complete their lessons. Most distance learning programs allow students to work at their own place and on their own time. Many students can complete their work during times when they are free, rather than scheduling their lives around a set classroom time. With more flexibility comes more responsibility on the part of the learner. Students must learn to work well independently and without the constant guidance and monitoring of an instructor, making distance learning a challenge for those who are not easily self-motivated Distance learning has become a growing vogue for many students who pursue higher education. It gives you the chance to further your education in any stage of your life but like any other style of teaching, distance learning has some advantages and disadvantages too. Like any kind of educational program, distance learning comes with a host of pros and cons. One of the primary advantages of distance education is the flexibility it provides to students.
How to prevent the next pandemic By ROSALINDA A. MAWAS Teacher I Balulang Elementary School
HOW do we prevent a pandemic like this from happening again? As we start to tackle that question, inevitably part of it will involve looking back at the mistakes that were made with COVID-19, and rightly so. But it’s also important to learn from the things we got right, because this pandemic could have been worse, much worse. So, if we want to ensure that this is the last pandemic to cause devastation on this scale, then not only do we need to build on these successes, but the time to do that is now. Without question, one of the biggest of those successes has been the unprecedented
speed at which vaccines were developed, approved and rolled out, and not just to those who can afford to pay. This has already saved countless lives and made the end of this global crisis a tangible reality. Even so, to avoid a repeat of this disaster we still need to figure out how to avoid supply bottlenecks so we can get there faster; by some people’s reckoning, that means being ready to delivery vaccines within just 100 days after a pandemic has been declared. Solving that doesn’t have to involve reinventing the wheel. What’s more, we already have a model for how to do it in the way we tackle flu.

Tanmantiong said its international business will drive the Group’s expansion, especially in China, Vietnam, and North America. “With the positive outlook for China and USA given their earlier recovery from the pandemic, and the Philippines’ recovery underway as restrictions are lifted and vaccination rollout, we will accelerate our new stores expansion in the months ahead,” he said. The executive added that in 2022, Jollibee Group expects to open at least 500 stores similar to its expansion rate prior to the
pandemic and even higher than 500 stores in the succeeding years. “The global crisis made more apparent the advantages of the geographical diversification of our business. We continued to invest for long-term growth even amid the pandemic in countries that presented opportunities,” Tanmantiong said. Jollibee Group has 17 brands in 33 countries, with 5,815 stores worldwide as of end-May 2021. (PNA)

By CECIL FILAMAE C. NAVAREZ, T-I, Kalangahan Elementary School
It is little hard defining the fate or destiny of our kind or of any kind of worker without having to live their kind of life. As a public school teacher, thriving, striving and doing all the necessary works, things could get overwhelming. Come to think of it, making the self learning modules, online teaching, modules distribution, communicating with parents on a regular basis and reports submission to your immediate superior are tasks not for the faint of heart. We work on these duties since they are part of our pledged commitment when we first accepted our appointments. This is our fate. Whether we perform our responsibilities with joy or with a grumble, that is up to the individual teacher. The better choice is to work joyfully. The other option gives a bitter yield. Accepting the challenges brought about by 21st century teaching as a public school teacher is another story altogether. As for me, I am on my late 40’s and I am taking care of or raising five equally different children. One may ask as to how to I juggle between a well known overworking profession and domestic or
parental duties? I could tell anyone that it is by miracle and perhaps by solid faith that I could muster enough strength in dealing with this predicament on the daily. We take things on a stride or handle things as they come and once in a while there are trials and out-of-the-blue setbacks but we keep the faith. We stand unwavering in our aspirations to learn new skills, practice a more positive mindset and provide the essential services as we fulfill the learning needs of our school children along with filling the needs of our very own children. This is personally how we keep the faith. So we move along and upheavals (of our world) like this pandemic happens. There is no other way to go but up and we keep moving along to keep the balance of things and sincerely avoid any unpleasant debacle. We cope with the changing times, we cope with crises, we cope with the demands of 21st century education. And even with limited resources and lack of tools, public school teachers improvise and exercise utmost fairness for our own good for the greater good of our public school children.
What students want to retain in the pandemic By IMELYN G. DORIA Master Teacher II Bulua Central School
IN a recent survey, 80 percent of student respondents did not feel that their instruction during the pandemic was worth the cost of tuition, and 54 percent would prefer to learn primarily in person once campuses can safely reopen. Yet a healthy portion — 46 percent — would like some features of online learning to remain in place going forward. Among the elements students would like to continue incorporating into their education:84 percent of respondents want the ability to access learning materials, lectures and assignments in one place; 75 percent want to be able to view lecture recordings; 59 percent want the flexibility
to attend classes in person or virtually; 56 percent want to use in-class engagement technologies such as live chat, discussion and polling tools; 53 percent want interactive textbooks that allow them to assess their learning as they go; 49 percent want instructors to continue offering virtual office hours using videoconferencing tools; and 43 percent want to keep working with digital course materials such as lecture slides, online homework assignments and readings. The COVID-19 pandemic has indeed exposed fundamental challenges within higher education to provide meaningful learning experiences for students
rapan ngayong may pandemya. Nariyan ang kawalan ng trabaho, pagtutustos sa pangangailangan at nariyan din ang limitasyon sa paggala at pagbyahe.. Sa kabila ng pandemya, patuloy namang nagtuturo ang mga guro sa pamamagitan ng online na pagtuturo, at sa pamamahagi ng mga modules. Iba-ibang estilo ang pagganap ng pagtuturo upang maipagpatuloy ang edukasyon ng mga mag-aaral. At maipagpatuloy na rin ng mga guro ang bokasyon nila. Sa ilalim ng New-Normal na pagkatuto, pagtuturo, pagaaral, gagamitin ang online o virtual learning sa pamamagitan ng computer/ laptop/tablet. Gagamitin din ang T.V at radio. Module leaning naman ang paguukolan ng pansin para sa mga walang kakayahang bumili ng gadgets dahil sa kakapusan ng income ng kanilang pamilya o kaya ay ang mga mag-aaral ay naninirahan sa malayong lugar o malayo sa saklaw ng internet connectivity. Sa paglipas ng panahon marami ng hinarap na pagsubok sa mga guro dala ng pagbabago sa larangan ng pagtuturo. Mula sa ordinaryo at tradisyunal na pagtuturo hanggang sa bagong normal na mga pamamaraan. Isa sa hamon ng mga guro sa
man sa mga mag-aaral na gumagamit ng mga modules. Dahil ang iba ay hindi nila sinasagutan ang ibang subjects o asignatura. Meron ring hindi updated sa pagkuha at pagsauli ng kanilang modules. Kaya hamon din sa amin bilang mga guro ang pagtukoy sa saktong at totoong performace-level ng aming mga mag-aaral. Ika nga, sabi nila para kaming “naghahanap ng karayom sa gitna ng talahiban” sa mga pagkakataong ito. Suntok sa buwan ang pagsasakatuparan ng misyon na makapagbigay ng de-laidad na serbisyo sa pampublikong pag-aaral sapagkat ang balakid ay distansya. Tunay nga, distanstaya ang naghihiwalay sa pagkabuo ng mabuting koneksyon sa pagitan naming mga guro at ng aming mga mag-aaral. Ang kulang o kawalan ng koneksyon ay may malaking epekto sa pagkamit ng mabuting pagkatuto. Kung wala ito, hindi magiging makabulahan ang pagtuturo. Sa kabila ng mga hamong aking nabanggit, patuloy pa rin kaming mga guro sa aming pang-araw araw na mga gawain. Ang mga hamong ito pa minsan ang nagbibigay sa amin ng katatagan at nag-uudyok ng aming pagkamalikhain.
Fundamentals of education apps By PORFERIA EVA C. SALADA Master Teacher II East City Central School
TECHNOLOGIES bring various experiences to users – especially in the education industry. As the e-learning field grows in popularity, companies will increasingly choose to invest in educational solutions, so there’s no better time than now for you to understand the building blocks of e-learning app development. Before starting the development process, you need to decide what kind of website you’d like to create. It’s common to divide educational platforms by learning method and target audience. But of course, these categories also have sub-types. This allows students to choose their most preferred means of education. For instance, there are interactive
platforms with games, video lessons, and more. Also, some services provide group education if learners want to study with their friends or make new pals. Synchronous online learning allows a group of learners to study together even if they live in different countries. Real-time education tends to include video calls and online chats, commonly making use of platforms such as Zoom and Google Hangouts. On the other hand, asynchronous learning stands for individual education at different times and locations, after which learners convene on their achievements and results. This education style leads to more flexibility and the chance to create a comfortable, personalised timetable.

With enough supply of vaccines and willingness of the people to take part in the inoculation, Romualdo said it is easier to adapt to the new normal and open the island for full operation of the tourism sector. As of June 18, the provincial government has already lifted the moratorium on the acceptance of returning individuals. They are also targeting to reopen the tourism in Camiguin by July, Romualdo said. The province has recorded three COVID-19 confirmed cases who are availing the no quarantine policy, June 24.

The right tech for schools By EDITHA N. BAHADE Teacher III Catubo Integrated School Kinoguitan District Division of Misamis Oriental
WHEN COVID-19 turned the world upside down, educators faced unprecedented challenges. As classrooms went digital, widespread lockdowns accelerated the need for quality technology. Amid the “new normal,” some educators lacked suitable tools to effectively communicate with children and parents. Without dependable resources, a generation of young people faced a demanding, disconnected school year. Digital technologies have a profound impact on economies and societies and are changing the way we work, communicate, engage in social activities and enjoy ourselves. They also drive innovation in many different spheres of life. The innovative capacity of technology is very much conditioned by the level of digital skills of the population. No wonder
there is a very strong correlation between education and skills and the uptake and use of digital technologies in various spheres of life. The role of education and skills in promoting innovation is critical. Yet, despite the huge potential of digitalisation for fostering and enhancing learning, the impact of digital technologies on education itself has been shallow. Massive investments in ICT in schools have not yet resulted in the hoped for transformation of educational practices, probably because the overriding focus on hardware and connectivity has kept back equally powerful strategies for increasing teachers’ ICT skills, improving teachers’ professional development, reforming pedagogies and producing appropriate software and courseware.
AI is the future of learning By PORFERIA EVA C. SALADA Master Teacher II East City Central School
DEBATE in education is incredibly important, and AI-powered edtech has the power to enhance discursive learning. Many modern teaching practices stem from ancient models of education. Harking back to the world of Ancient Greece, one of the oldest and most noteworthy of these came from one of the founders of Western Philosophy, Socrates. Education has changed dramatically this past year. In the new digital landscape, the rise of teleconferencing platforms and asynchronous learning have brought up a host of new challenges for educators when it comes to keeping students engaged remotely. From early years to higher
and further education, the ‘University of Zoom’ education model has been met with varying degrees of success. Although a necessary change, many students believe that their education will be less adequate than those who previously studied on-campus. Meanwhile, the parents of 60 percent of students in another report said that their children are learning less in the remote learning climate than would be the case with no pandemic. There’s one overriding reason for this: at the moment, few online learning models can adequately replicate the efficacy of discursive, active learning methods that are usually offered in-person – and this is an important lesson for educators to learn going forward.
Mon-Tue, June 28-29, 2021 Protection against Alpha and Beta In a preprint study led by University of Oxford, in collaboration with the Universities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle and Birmingham, it was found that a natural recovery from COVID19 infection does not necessarily protect one from these two variants, regardless of whether the recovery was from an asymptomatic or symptomatic case. On the other hand, several studies have shown that the Sinovac, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson COVID19 vaccines offer some degree of protection against the Alpha and Beta variants.

Reading Assessment in the New Normal By CRISPINA R. BALINO, T-III BONGBONGON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
The current school year has been a very challenging year for me as a teacher. Aside from the new learning modalities introduced for learning continuity, reading program as an integral part of learning must also be implemented. As Reading Coordinator for Bongbongon Elementary School it is a dare for me to do the best I could so that the program would not be hampered from the current circumstances. How could I make this possible? Who are the possible individual that could help me get through it? I am very blessed to have a team that gave their 100 and 1% support mechanism in the implementation of the Reading Program as well as do their part in the Reading Assessment of pupils using the ASER Reading Assessment Tool for Kindergarten to Grade Six and PHIL-IRI Reading Assessment Tool from Grade Three to Grade
Six. The teachers tremendously played their part as stewards of knowledge amidst pandemic. Reading Assessment in the absence of face to face classes is quite demanding since it need to use social media flat forms like Facebook /messenger as a means of communication and applications like Google meet or Zoom to assess pupils in reading. In most cases there are pupils who doesn’t have internet access the means of assessing their reading ability is through phone call. Imagine how strenuous it is for the teachers and parents. The success of reading assessment lies on parents’ cooperation, for without them learning is not possible. Teaching Reading is nonnegotiable as a teacher it demands most of our time and resources however it is also fulfilling in our part knowing that the children identified as learners at risk in reading was able to read.
Role of school administrators in this crisis By DELMA R. DENAPO Administrative Officer IV DepEd Tangub City
OUR leadership and profession are tested during crisis. Yet we are not developed to quit but to continue to make an impact to the future generation in every way possible, to be able to have a chance to teach despite the pandemic is such an honor. We are still touching lives and shaping our students, virtually. What a privilege to still continue the legacy that has been passed unto us by our teachers, even virtually. This requires schools to consider alternative modalities for education delivery that would cater to the needs of our learners. School leaders were challenged to respond and addresses the needs of the learners in de-
livering quality education despite this difficulties and be ready to make transition to new ways of leadership as mandated by the Department of Education (DepEd). New normal leadership is being exemplified by the so-called new normal leaders through capacitating themselves through their sound/ effective decision making. Instructional leaders and head teachers understand what they need to know, what to prepare and what actions to do in designing a realistic strategic plan for flexible learning for schools. COVID-19 pandemic is indeed a litmus challenge for the Department of Education.

Factors Affecting Pupils’ Academic Performance By CECIL FILAMAE CAVALIDA NAVAREZ, T-I, Kalangahan Es
Today’s world is moving in a speed which was unheard in the past. Everyone wants to excel. Individual’s success affects personal and social dimensions of life. In this regard, academic performance is one of the major factors that influence individual’s success in any educational setting. It is any body’s guess that good habits and skills will help us to promote efficiency in our tasks. In education, proper study habits and skills entail to proficiency as well as high quality of learning (Dehghani & Soltanalgharaei, 2014). Productive study requires conceptualization and intention. It could include some skills such as note-taking, observation, asking question, listening, thinking and presented idea regarding discovering new information. Thus, learner should be interested in learning and must be able to apply needed skills. On the other hand, parent’s involvement in education also plays an important role for their children’s academic performance. When schools, parents, children and other stakeholders come together and build a good relationship where they will support each other in order to achieve a common goal, namely effective teaching and learning, then children can succeed in school. Parents’ involvement in schools helps parents to discover their potential, which they can use for the benefit of their children. Parental involvement in their children’s education appears to be a constant in children’s academic achievement and social adjustment. Although many parents may not be certain how to help their children with assignments, they can be actively involved in home learning activities, as
well as having an opportunity to teach, be a role model, and guide their children (Dekker et al., 2006). According to Keane (2007), parental involvement improves the chances of children’s success at school. According to Vandergrift and Greene (2009), there are two key elements that works together to arrive at the concept of parental involvement. One of these is a level of commitment to parental support. The other element is the level of parental activity and participation, such as doing something that is observable. Parents are the primary educators of their children. Parents are not certain about how to play a more active role in their child‘s education. According to the principles of family law, parents are obliged to maintain, protect and care for their children. They were required to accept responsibility for the physical and emotional needs of their children and to raise their children in such a way that they can adapt to society and participate successfully in its activities. Parents are obliged to protect the fundamental rights of their child to education, food, clothing, shelter, and health care. Parents should understand the needs and goals of the school, and their involvement can range from occasional attendance of school functions. A parent who sees the school as an instrument for the achievement of his or her children is usually significantly involved in schools (Westhuizen, 2002). Hence, this study aims to delve deeper in finding out the pupil’s study skills in elementary schoolers in Lugait District and their parents’ involvement in their studies.
Adopting educational technology By IMELYN G. DORIA Master Teacher II Bulua Central School
EDUCATION is vital in any type of society for the conservation of lives of its associates and the preservation of the public formation. The rationale of this chapter is not only to reveal the role of technology in education but also to reveal the factors affecting the proper utilization and adoption of technology in education. Prior studies carried out by researchers confirm that technology utilization and adoption in education undeniably helps teachers and learners in the teaching and learning process. The world today is going computerized; virtually everything today is automated from manual business to e-business, from manual
banking to e-banking. Even the education system is also experiencing the effect of technology. Today, the admission process into tertiary institutions is now done electronically. This is to mention but few groundbreakings into the world of technology today. Technology has come to help a man in his strenuous tasks by automating the head-aching process originally done manually by man. Equally, due to the vast role played by the technology in education in making teaching and learning uncomplicated, its significance is gradually raising in the education sector because as technology steps forward, the benefits it put forward for learners in all facet of education.

Section 19 of the law’s penal provision stated. Signed into law by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in August 2018, RA 11055, or the Philippine Identification System Act, aims to establish a single national ID for all Filipinos and resident aliens. The national ID shall be a valid proof of identity that shall be a means of simplifying public and private transactions, enrollment in schools, and the opening of bank accounts. It also seeks to boost efficiency, especially in dealing with government services where people will only need to present one ID during transactions. (PNA)

a local prestigious service awards to Iliganons, the academe, public service and humanitarian service to manifest profound commitment to be an active agent to positive change and great influence to their communities,” said Serbisyo Awards 2020 Chairperson Vina Marie Pitogo. City Councilor Christine “Sol” Bacsarpa, Chairperson of the Committee on Civil Service, said nominations for the school category were primarily done by the DepEd while the DILG selected candidates for the Lingkod Bayan category. On the other hand, the Youth Affairs Office headed the selection of nominees for the humanitarian service category. Bacsarpa expressed satisfaction with the successful takeoff of the recognition as she left a reminder to the awardees to stay pinned to the ground while playing their roles in their communities. “Uplifting in our hearts and we are ver y happy that in our small little way, nakapataas mi og [we were able to lift] morale. I hope that in spite of the recognition, they will still stay humble. The more that we are recognized by other sectors as we are doing something good to our community ug sa atong isig katao [and to our fellowmen], we will be humble enough,” she said. Bacsarpa said the Serbisyo Awards is witnessed every two years which makes the next nominations to open by 2022 and the second awarding to transpire in 2023. With this, she encouraged potential aspirants to partake in the endeavor to requite themselves for their hard work in servicing the people. “We are inviting sa tanang [all] youth organizations and aspiring young leaders and even the government sectors and lingkod bayan sectors to join us. This is one way of recognizing their contribution to our community. This is one way of rewarding their contribution and sacrifices,” she said. (Claire R. Gigje/PIA-10/ICIC/Lanao del Norte)

Energy is indeed welcome. AC Energy’s 120-megawatt Gigasol Alaminos in Laguna, one of the country’s largest solar farms, is now operational and has started exporting renewable energy to the grid. Earlier in April, the company operationalized its 63 MW GigaSol Palauig in Zambales. More good news. According to AC President and CEO Eric Francia, the company is expected to start the operations of the 150 MW Ingrid Power quick response thermal plant in Pililla, Rizal in the next few weeks. Francia added that the company has another 276 MW of renewables capacity under

construction in the Philippines, with plans to double the capacity before the end of the year. A 120-megawatt facility like Gigasol Alaminos can power approximately 80,000 homes while avoiding more than 100,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases. Gigasol Alaminos is notable for its pioneering Sustainability Hub. 32,000 kilograms of plastic waste were recycled into eco-bricks which were used in building the plant’s facilities. The site also features a tree nursery. It is surrounded by Ayala Land’s Carbon Forest, a woodland reserve that acts as a carbon trap and fosters biodiversity. In various stages of completion are the following renewable energy projects of AC Energy: 1) 4 megawatt Bataaan RE Tech Hub 2) 40 MW Alaminos Battery Storage in Laguna 3) the 72 megawatt Arayat-Mexico solar plant in Pampanga and 4) the 160 megawatt GigaWind in Ilocos Norte. Located in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, the 160 MW GigaWind Pagudpud wind farm is set to be the biggest wind farm in the Philippines to date. The P11.4 billion facility will be the third wind development of AC Energy in Ilocos Norte. The project’s target completion is slated for Q4 2022, in time for full year operations in 2023, when supply in the Luzon energy market is expected to be tight.

victimizing the youth in their tender age. All these countries have their own war against drug syndicates. Whoever told Bensouda that this war is just a walk in the park and that there ought to be no bloodshed must be dreaming. In the span of many years, I witnessed, as I was in the midst of unraveling events that predate Duterte (who was elected Mayor of Davao City only in 1988). I was there to report the bombing of San Pedro Cathedral by extremist and separatist elements, the
virtual control of Davao City by the CPP/NPA which rendered it as the veritable “killing fields” in the Philippines, and how criminal and drug syndicates crept into the city when the NPAs were eventually defeated. When Duterte took over the helms of the City Government in 1988, he dealt with iron hands all forms of criminality and instilled discipline unheard of in the past. He led assaults on a drug laboratory and even taking his war beyond the borders of the city to warn those who would attempt to smuggle drugs in Davao City of dire consequences. But he too set up drug rehabilitation centers. He set up tripping points all over the city to monitor movements of suspected characters, initiated the appointments of tribal representation in the city council, and appointed deputy mayors. He created crime detection and emergency apparatus that includes 911 and high definition CCTVs all over the city. Speed limits were enforced and no more fireworks during New Year’s eve. As if Task Force Davao and the Davao City Police Force are not enough, he patrols the city at midnight as a taxi driver or on a motorbike. In time Davao City was listed as among the most peaceful and livable places in the world, most child-friendly, and most competitive. It is the commercial and communication center in Mindanao a city that enjoys a healthy investment climate. For those who make an issue over the imperceptible reaction of Dabawenyos and Mindanaowons over Fatou Bensouda’s midnight recommendation to investigate President Duterte on the issue of extra-judicial killings, do not mistake the silence as the acquiescence of Bensouda’s exhortation. It is as simple as saying bring your threats and misplaced prejudices elsewhere. We have a functioning judicial system and a vibrant democracy.

participation,” he said in the online briefer. According to the DOH, the
UHC, also referred to as “Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (KP),” is the provision to every Filipino of the highest possible quality of health care that is accessible, efficient, equitably distributed, adequately funded, fairly financed, and appropriately used by an informed and empowered public. Moreno said the city government has targeted to accredit 35 to 40 consultation or “konsulta” centers in the city based on the total population. Each center targets to serve around 20,000 city residents. “The importance of that is, we should improve our health centers in partnership with the national government through the Department of Health,” he said. Moreno congratulated employees of JRBGH and encouraged them to work hard to provide the best public service to the people. Meanwhile, city information officer Maricel Casiño-Rivera urged the public to visit the official Facebook pages of JRBGH and the city government to secure the contact numbers for teleconsultation. Aside from the hospital, the City Health Office (CHO) and the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) also have “Telekonsulta” services. The Psychosocial Division of the city’s Social Welfare and Development Office has also a mental health hotline for those who are suffering from depression, and a hotline exclusive for individuals under quarantine. Zero cases under home quarantine Meanwhile, as the city continues to respond to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, Moreno said cases under home quarantine have been transferred to quarantine facilities. “I’m so happy now because all (Covid-19 cases) who have been under home quarantine in yesterday’s reports and all previous reports are now gone. We have now zero cases under home quarantine in previous reports,” he said. Moreno said there were a total of 32 confirmed cases under home quarantine, but these were much lower numbers compared to the previous weeks when these reached
over a hundred mark. Moreno thanked all officials and personnel who have been instrumental to the transfer of all confirmed cases under home quarantine to temporary treatment and monitoring facilities (TTMF) and city isolation units (CIU). As of June 25, the CHO recorded a total of 896 confirmed cases that are currently placed at the TTMFs and CIUs. The figure was part of 1,207 active cases in the city. “This is part of our strategy that the administration and operation in our TTMFs and CIUs will be assigned to another group so that they would focus their coordination on each other,” he added. Moreno said the health team will now be more focused on the medical issues. CHO resident city epidemiologist Dr. Teodulfo Joselito Retuya reported 66 new confirmed Covid-19 cases, bringing the total to 9,770 cases. The number of admitted cases in the hospital system in the city remains at 300-mark. Moreno also reported a total of 352 Covid-19 positives admitted in all hospitals situated in the city, a reduction of just one case compared to Saturday. Based on the data, the majority of the positive cases admitted are city residents with 301 cases. This was followed by the positive patients from Misamis Oriental, 39; Bukidnon, six; Iligan City, five, and Lanao del Norte, one. Moreno said the city government also monitors the Covid-19 cases in the other local government units (LGU) in Northern Mindanao, as all severe to critical positive patients are admitted to the Northern Mindanao Medical Center, the region’s Covid-19 referral hospital. He underscored the importance of complying with minimum public health standards to prevent the rise of new infections and not to burden the hospital system. This is to improve, he said, the city’s current quarantine classification, which is under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) until the end of the month. (PNA)
