He said 2,000 out of 5,900 workers of the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) have already taken the COVID-19 jab since the vaccination rollout started last March 5, and 599 private health workers at the second vaccination site in A. Mabini Elementary School in Barangay Talomo as of Tuesday.

The vaccination site in A. Mabini Elementary School opened last Monday with six vaccination teams. Each team can accommodate 100 health workers a day, according to Lopez.

2 DepEd-GenSan wants to include 2 schools in pilot face-to-face classes Wed-Thu, March 10-11, 2021

By MINDANEWS

GENERAL SANTOS CITY – The Department of Education (DepEd) city division is seeking endorsement from the local government for the inclusion of two local schools in the proposed pilot implementation of the limited face-to-face classes.

Romelito Flores, DepEd city division superintendent, said they have identified the Aspang Elementary School and Aspang High School in Barangay San Jose as sites for the test run of the initiative.

He said they need a reso-

lution of support from the city council and approval from the local government regarding the matter.

In a presentation to the city council on Tuesday, Flores said the selected the two schools due to their readiness in terms of conducting the limited face-toface classes.

He said the area, specifically Purok Aspang in San Jose, has not recorded any confirmed case of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the health protocols are

already in place in the school premises.

The schools have enough classrooms to accommodate 15 to 20 learners and have installed support facilities, among them the hand washing or sanitation areas.

Based on the proposed system, Flores said the learners will be divided into two groups, with one attending the pilot classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the other on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The two schools have around 200 combined learners from Grades 1 to 10 and

12 assigned teachers.

“The main considerations are the regular wearing of face masks and face shields for everyone, and the no entry policy in the school premises will be strictly implemented,” the official said.

He said they have advised the teachers who are living in communities outside the area to consider staying in the school as they could become potential carriers of COVID-19.

Flores said they are continually reviewing their plans and making the necessary

adjustments while waiting for the go-signal from their central office and President Rodrigo Duterte.

DepEd initially scheduled a dry run last January for the pilot limited face-to-face classes but called it off on orders from the President.

City Councilor Jose Edmar Yumang expressed support to the plans and the preparations of the DepEd city division for the initiative.

He vowed to sponsor a resolution endorsing and supporting the selection of Aspang Elementary School and Aspang High School as

its pilot sites.

The city currently has a total 178,622 enrolled learners, with 155,751 enrolled in public and 22,871 in private schools, who are taking various alternative modes of learning due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

These are the modular, online and the blended modes, which are supplemented by television and radio-based instruction.

Over 70 percent or majority of the learners are under the modular mode. (MindaNews)

Nature of ALS Teachers and Learners: The Other Side of Basic Education DANILO L. SOPOSO ALS Mobile Teacher Gitagum District DepEd Misamis Oriental

Alternative Learning System provides a first-class secondchance education to marginalized learners to the end that they can find a better job and pursue further education. The ALS program requires teachers who are highly dedicated, multi-skilled, can provide learners quality education beyond classroom, flexible, compassionate, committed, determined and passionate to serve the depressed, deprived and underserved Filipino Outof-school Children/Youths/ Adults (OSCYAs. It cannot be denied that through the years, ALS has generated alternatives in making education more flexible, participatory,

transformative, and responsive to the circumstances of its learners. These are the prerequisites that should be sustained and strengthened to ensure that education will indeed be the “great equalizer” amidst a very demanding and extremely competitive environment brought by globalization On the other hand, ALS is either DepEd-delivered, DepEd-procured, or DepEd Partners-delivered. DepEddelivered refers to the implementation arrangement where program is directly carried-out

by DepEd ALS implementers such as the ALS Mobile Teachers and District ALS Co-

ordinators. Second is DepEdprocured which refers to the implementation arrangement where program is contracted

by DepEd to service providers such as non-government organizations and other government organizations and literacy volunteers and lastly DepEd Partners-delivered that refers to the implementation of ALS Programs by nonDepEd organizations such

as Local Government Units (LGUs), Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and other Government Organizations (GOs), international donor agencies, church-based organizations and individuals on a voluntary basis using their own resources.

In ALS, one of the implementers are Mobile Teachers who are “specialized” teachers and who live among the people in remote barangays of the country to conduct the BLP for illiterate out-ofschool children, youth and adults who are willing to learn basic literacy skills and proceed to Continuing Education program: Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) for those who left formal school system or have no access to schools. District ALS Coor-

dinators are also known to be the field implementers who are primarily a formal school teacher item duly designated as full time DALSC to harmonize ALS initiatives in a district. However, just like the Mobile Teachers, they also serve as learning facilitators in the delivery of the different ALS programs/projects. In addition, to help eradicate illiteracy in the country, the Department of Education also accept volunteer teachers known as Instructional Managers and Literacy Volunteers.

Unlike in formal school system, ALS is a communitybased learning session which usually happen outside the classroom. It can be inside chapels, in a barangay hall, multipurpose halls, under

the bridges, under the tree, purok /reading centers, inside the jail, at home or even in cemeteries managed by ALS Teachers, such as ALS Mobile Teachers, District ALS Coordinators, Instructional Managers and Literacy Volunteers at an agreed schedule and venue between the learners and the ALS Teachers.

ALS seeks to serve the Filipino Out-of-school Children, Youths and Adults regardless of age including people with disabilities, Person Deprived with Liberty, children in conflict with the law, street children, solo parents, victims of abuse, house helpers, rebel returnees, indigenous people, and other people who for one reason or another, cannot afford to go through formal schooling.

Students’ reflections during the pandemic: an opportunity for educators to create a new normal

By FRETZYL ROSE J. MONSANTO Master Teacher I Puerto Elementary School

AN entire community of teachers, parents, students and many others came together to make a successful school year (albeit modular) and it continues strong.

To say it has been an unusual school year is the most understated statement of my lifetime. Already, we find ourselves in March and nearly three quarters of this most unusual year

have passed. Typically at this time in a school year, most principals have one foot in planning for next year while balancing the other firmly in this one. I find myself doing the same, ever cautious not to lose footing on the challenges the coronavirus has brought. At the same time, this most unusual year has revealed goodness we may have otherwise missed.

This pandemic forced us to slow down and even stop at certain points, prompting more time for reflection those things for which we are most grateful. For me, it was a new perspective on being made for one another. I am particularly gratified that even in this most unusual year, our students are making the progress we expect in a normal year.

THE fight against the downfall of Covid-19 pandemic is on!

With all sorts of vaccines coming in by plane loads, pretty soon, life will be back to old normal. Hopefully.

Already the world have made tremendous strides against coronavirus disease.

Yet the newest African variant is on a rampage without let up. And new cases have been recorded and had hit a thousand-fold.

Looking at the brighter side, people will be going soon to theaters and sports events like the incoming fight of boxing icon Manny Pacquio.

Lovers and friends alike will hug each other, and hang out together in uptown’s emerging diners hub.

Because we are going

back to normal, definitely.

But health experts say it will take a year and a half before a normalcy is felt and enjoyed on a global scale.

It is unclear though what percentage of our population needs to be vaccinated, or recovered from COVID-19 before herd immunity kicks in.

Between 60-70 percent and then as high as 90 percent based on health models are seen to receive vaccination within this year.

Let us pray that these numbers are not just plain and simple guesswork.

As to how many people can get vaccinated and how willing they are to take risk is another thing to ponder.

After all, we have yet to find ways as to how fast vaccines can get through

Ruffy Magbanua

in the four corners of the archipelago.

We are making progress in that direction, yet the effort is still peanuts.

Vaccines come in trickles.

We need more in millions of vials.

This is our wish for everyone to get vaccinated soonest possible time, regardless of the brand, be it moderna, sinovac, sputnik or astraZeneca.

As the song goes: Let’s get it on! (ruffy44_ph2000yahoo. com)

Letters from Davao

Vaccines reveal who your friends are THE vaccination program in the Philippines is fraught with politics, cynicism brought about by ignorance, prejudice, and the ingrained predilection for American-made products.

All these beyond the primordial and universal concern to make every individual adequately protected from Covid-19 virus which had infected more than 115-million people 2.54-million of which perished.

In the Philippines, more than 578-thousands cases had been recorded and still counting while 12,322 died.

As I write this piece, Metro Manila cases had surged back to not less than 2-thousand cases daily. But it is very important to take note that of these cases 534-thousands plus had recovered in the entire country.

Davao Region on the other hand showed a dramatic decrease in cases.

From nearly 150 cases on a daily average in January and towards late February, the region is down to only less than 50. Active cases are also down to 1,337 which means that the recovery rate has also significantly increased.

It is important to take hold of these statistics for it is important in decisionmaking. In government hospitals in Metro Manila, the number of health frontliners who are on top of the priority list of those who will receive vaccination against the coronavirus was high.

They expected to have the Pfizer vaccine made in the USA which was set to arrive on March 1. Scheduled to arrive earlier was 600,000 doses of Sinovac vaccines which are donations from China.

For one reason or another Pfizer, delivery did not materialize. The supply actually

Between the lines

is to come from the Covax facility (co-led by World Health Organization and GAVI). Covax targets 2-billion doses to be equitably allocated to countries that have difficulties accessing supplies). No definite date was given as to when the 530,000 doses will arrive.

The initial day of vaccination drive in the country last March 1 was however met with a pocket demonstration of some health workers who refused to be inoculated with Sinovac which they said is made in China. They asserted that their sole option is the USmade Pfizer. This skepticism moreover was dismissed by the head of the Philippine General Hospital, Dr. GeSee VACCINES, page 11

Unemployment soars high OUR economy plunged into a recession and faced its worst downtum in three decades during the second quarter of 2020. This was after government imposed National large-scale lockdowns for two months in a bid to prevent the spread of Coronavirus or COVID-19.

The aftermath forced nonessential business went bankrupt as thousands of manufacturers went down and closed shops.

Millions of consumers were prevented from going out shop on different malls or buy food items from the open markets. In a speech recently President Rodigo Roa Duterte admitted that the Philippines economy is in a “bad shape”. And it

sinks deeper and deeper due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. He lamented that the government is losing P2 Billion each day due to restrictions and health protocols imposed.

Malacañang recently said the government is reopening the Philippines economy to address unemployment woes.

This is to generate more jobs for our fellow countrymen, those who voluntarily left their precious jobs, those who are looking for jobs for the first time, and those who lost their jobs due to economic circumstances beyond their control.

The President however assured the public that the government is doing its best ti keep the country afloat.

He also advised the people to keep their faith in his administration. This is a global plague that has affected many countries. This resulted to many economies of slow stand down in many different approaches to curb this worldwide, man-made serious disease.

Jobless people among adults in the country rose to its highest in eight years in 2020 with 37.4% according to a survey by the Social Weather Stations. The 37.4% figure was recorded after the Philippines posted high rate of 45.5% jobless rate in July. It eased to 34.5% in November as the government relaxed its restriction to flatten the curb of the See SOARS, page 11

Teachers’ Professional Development, a Lifelong Commitment MELANIE V. MABANTA Teacher III Dalipuga Central School

Professionals must never undervalue their lifelong obligations to keep themselves continually planning out actions for one’s development and consistently guarding their professional standards by always in quest to maintain and/or enhance their knowledge, capabilities, potentials and skills in order to render quality professional service at all times and be assets to the organization they are connected to.

Furthermore, teachers, being regarded as noble professionals must incessantly aspire to be trained and gain new strategies, concepts, and skills which are very much impera-

tive to enhance and develop strengths and convert weaknesses into assets in order to consequently deliver quality education to our clients.

Undeniably enough, in the field of educational undertakings, the rapidly evolving technology, the diversity of culture as well as the neverending demands to deliver quality education through meaningful teaching and learning process pave way to the powerful cry for teachers to persistently seek to develop professionally, regardless of the length of years in service and position. This is to ensure significant contribution of professional teachers to our

society and country and in the process maintain/augment the public’s trust to the transporter of excellence and advocate of change.

However, it is highly recognized that the professional development required from each teacher doesn’t just happen instantly and effortlessly, it needs to be carefully planned, systematically carried out, and conscientiously done.

Generally, teachers need to plan their professional development for advancement and improvement which are necessary in enjoying rich and excellent teaching-learning experiences.

Physical Fitness

By KAREN O. AVERY Teacher1, Ozamiz City Central School Ozamiz City

Experts say that a person should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day.

Schools have shown that they are capable of helping students get up to 20 to 60 minutes of physical activity during the school day.

This finding underscores that schools are the most strategic and practical place for students to learn about and practice being physically active.

Schools can strategically identify and promote policies, practices, and programs that increase physical education and physical activity.

With Physical education as the foundation, the following are considered good policies: • Physical activity during the school day (recess and classroom physical activity).

• Physical activity before and after school. • Family and community engagement.

This coordinated effort can help ensure that all students gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to make regular physical activity a lifelong habit.

Making physical activity as part of classroom time increases motivation and enjoyment of learning; decreases behavioral problems; and improves concentration,

on-task behaviors, and test scores. Classroom physical activity also helps students be more physically active.

Regular physical activity improves strength and endurance; helps build healthy bones and muscles; helps control weight; improves mental health by reducing anxiety, stress, and depression; and increases self-esteem.

Classroom physical activity can also benefit teachers.

When they are physically active themselves, teachers may experience the same health benefits as students. They can serve as role models for physical activity, encouraging students to be active with them.

Teachers can also use classroom physical activity as a behavioral management strategy to help students stay focused and to mitigate offtask behavior like fidgeting, excessive talking, and gazing off.

This approach may help students perform better academically and be more engaged in learning. Higher levels of engagement can have a positive influence on the classroom and school climate and help meet classroom and school educational goals.

Physical activity and exercise can be effective treatment strategies for symptoms of

both depression and anxiety.

Each day is a new opportunity to engage in physical activity and exercise that can bring short and long-term benefits for mood, sleep, and physical health.

Consistency and sustained motivation may be enhanced by peer support, family support, or electronic platforms offering exercise programs.

The benefits of physical activity and exercise have been demonstrated across the lifespan. We are meant to move and many of our body’s systems work better when we are consistently physically active.

Strength-training has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety for individuals with and without an anxiety disorder. Weightlifting using exercise equipment or household items (textbooks, canned goods, milk jugs filled with water, paint cans) may help us to reduce the negative effects of stress and anxiety.

For children and adolescents, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and exercise during the day are associated with elevations in self-esteem, improved concentration, reductions in depressive symptoms, and improvements in sleep.

OFWS, NEED “RIGHT-SIZED” OPTION TO DOFil---Imee By: ALY ABELLANA

Senator Imee Marcos has cautioned the government against rushing to establish a Department of Filipinos Overseas (DOFil) without resolving the issues that will hamper its effective operation as a Cabinet-level agency.

Among these issues, Marcos cited the government’s tight budget amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the lack of specialized training for DOFil’s future officers and personnel, and the overlapping functions and programs that remain unresolved among different government agencies.

“I am not against a new and discrete government agency for our beleaguered OFWs, but the establishment of a full-blown department is not a magic wand that will make our OFWs’ woes simply and instantly disappear. For one, there is no Php1.1 billion to be pulled out of the government’s hat,” Marcos said.

The Department of Bud-

get and Management also said during a Senate hearing in February that the Php1.1billion minimum budget required to create DOFil does not yet include funding to implement the potential department’s programs.

“The practical and critical solution in these financially challenged times may be an expansion of POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administrtion), integrating it into the new agency and extending its presence re-

gionally, with satellite and mobile offices,” she added.

Marcos has pushed for a “budget-conscious and right-sized alternative” to the DOFil through Senate Bill 407, proposing to create a National Overseas Employment Authority (NOEA) that will absorb the POEA, Overseas Workers’ Welfare Administration (OWWA), and other OFW service offices in the labor, foreign affairs, and social welfare departments.

“We can most likely assist our OFWs faster and quicker by expanding and strengthening POEA, OWWA, CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) and the other offices of DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) and international desks of the DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development),” Marcos said.

Marcos adde d t hat downsizing the DOFil will keep the government from replicating the “sorry ex-

amples of so-called departments of illusion,” citing the DHSUD (Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development), DICT (Department of Information and Communications Technology), and DOST (Department of Science and Technology) as “existing in name but short of funding, adequate personnel, or sometimes even measurable objectives.”

Nor is staffing DOFil a simple task of filling job vacancies, Marcos said, but hiring officers and personnel with specialized skills that require experience and training to properly address OFW concerns.

“There has been no targeted effort to train specialized personnel for the said new department - migration being a multi-disciplinary and complex field. How do we instantly conjure experienced international negotiators to represent the Philippines at the ILO (International Labor Organization) or pull out psychosocially adept diplomats

out of a hat?” she asked.

“I worry that DOFil may simply result in an unseemly pirating of staff from POEA, OWWA, and other offices under DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment),” Marcos added.

Marcos also cited that overlapping functions of government agencies made OFWs feel they were being given the runaround and made it more difficult for them to seek redress for labor abuses.

“A detailed delineation of the tasks and functions of the new department vis-a-vis the DFA and DOLE has not resolved overlapping and confusion - such that the new department may merely worsen an already miserable conviction rate at the DOJ (Department of Justice) of illegal recruiters and human traffickers!” Marcos said.

Marcos added that maintaining the POEA as an independent agency and excluding it from the organic set-up of the DOFil will be “fatal to any effort to assist our OFW victims.”

Presentation Portfolio Assessment: Basis for Diploma of ALS Completers

In the absence of the Accreditation and Equivalency Test, the Department of Education has allowed the result of the presentation portfolio assessment as basis for the issuance of an elementary diploma or a junior high school completion certificate for the Alternative Learning System completer per Joint Memorandum DMOUCI-2021-049 dated February 24, 2021 issued by DepEd Undersecretary Curriculum and Instruction Diosdado San Antonio and ALS Assistant Secretary G.H. Ambat.

It was further announced that the presentation portfolio assessment for ALS elementary and junior high school program will be applicable to all completers of School Year 2019-2020 and previous years in the Learner Information System.

Due to the restrictions imposed by the government together with the Inter-Agency Task Force in view of the global health crisis brought

by COVID-19 pandemic, the administration of computerbased A&E Test for SY 2019-

2020 ALS completers will not be possible per recommendation of the Bureau of Education Assessment.

Moreover, DepEd reminded that an ALS completer who met the minimum required points per assessment of the ALS teachers, Formal School Teachers, Education Pro-

gram Specialists II-ALS are eligible to receive a diploma (for elementary level) or a completion certificate (for junior high school level). The Department of Education clarified that ALS Elementary and Junior High School program completers of SY 2019- 2020 and previous years under the old ALS curriculum who underwent additional learning intervention and wish to seek equivalency certification need to update their portfolio based on the ALS K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum with the assistance of ALS teachers.

In addition, DepEd said that a revalidation with program completers needs to

KNOWING YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE MYLENE P. TUGAS Teacher III South 1-A Central School

“It is not a question how much a man knows, but what use he can make of what he knows.”

- J.G. Holland Ever since I set my feet and decided to take Education as my course in college, I have been driven by this mantra. Almost ten years in the field of education has definitely widened my horizon and my maturity with regards to the vital role of educating the youth and preparing them for the world of work and societal responsibilities.

Teaching, for me, is not

only a profession but a calling to be fulfilled. I believe that I am blessed with capacities and talents not for my own benefit, but for the betterment of the children entrusted to my care. Even to my family, friends and life situations, I always hold on to that ideal that it is not entirely about how much knowledge you have earned or how lofty your designation has become, but most importantly, it is all about how these assets propel you to become an instrument of change, of improvement, towards

other people.

While it’s true that being an expert and proficient in one’s learning area is imperative in the field of education, I strongly believe that if a teacher is incapable of communicating that knowledge in the pupils’ perspective, that expertise becomes pointless. Thus, finding one’s true purpose in the chosen profession is not only vital but actually serves as a lifeline that allows you to thrive and be tenacious whatever challenges you may have to conquer.

Commitment for education: A love to teach even in pandemic REMELYN PRESILLAS

Education is a treasure that nobody can steal from one person to another.

It is something a weapon to fight the challenges in the world. A person with education has confidence to face the real battle of life.

In times of pandemic, education faced a challenging scenario where the traditional teaching-learning process which is face-to-face instruction is no longer allowed.

In the early stage of pandemic the government imposed social/physical distancing where the students and teachers are prohibited to meet physically to avoid the spreading of the virus.

The Department of education find ways to continue serve education to

the learners. DepEd imposed online and offline learning to deliver education that even in pandemic there are knowledge and wisdom served to the students.

It is also challenging in the part of the teachers where there are changes in teacher-learning process. As teacher, we need to innovate the topics to easily acquired by the learners.

As teachers, we always do our best to mold our students and develop them to be a holistic person. To let them be an asset of society. That someday, they will face the challenges of the world with dignity and confidence. Whatever challenges we face, our desire is to let our students become somebody someday.

The Philippine Constitution upholds “the right of children to assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitations and other conditions prejudicial to their development (Article XV, Section 3 [2])”. This is reinforced by R.A 7610, an act providing for stronger deterrence and Special protection against child abuse, exploitation, and discrimination.

Similarly, the Convention on the rights of the Child (CRC) spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere have the right to survival and to develop to the fullest their potentials and have protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation, and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life. The same convention establishes the right of the child to education, and with a view to achieving this right progressively, and on the basis of equal opportunity, it obliges the government to make measures be undertaken to ensure that school discipline is administered in a manner consistent with the child's human dignity, and in conformity with the CRC. The Department of the Education (DepEd), in collaboration with its partners and stakeholders, shall ensure all school is conducive to the education of children. The best interest of the child shall be paramount consideration in all decisions and actions involving children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institution. courts of

law, administrative authorities and legislative bodies consistent with the principle First Call for Children as enunciated in the CRC. In the same light, the Family Code of Philippines, by way of the principle of in locoparentis gives the school, its administrators and teachers the special parental authority and responsibility over a minor child while under their supervisions, instructions or custody. More recently Public Act No 10627 or The Anti bullying act of 2013 was enacted to ensure that all schools provide a conductive and sate learning environment for children.

AS a government secondary educational institution, Cagayan de Oro National High School – Senior High School seeks to form a positive school climate and environment which manifest concern and care for others.

The School, through programs initiated and services provided, takes seriously its responsibility to protect and promote the welfare of the students and young people under its care and develop understanding for individuals with distinct request for each student's unique circumstances and concerns.

Accordingly, the school strongly supports the DepEd's zero tolerance policy for any act of child abuse, exploitation, violence, discrimination, bullying and other forms of abuse. It is towards this end that CAGAYAN DE ORO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ‘s Anti-Bullying program and policies have been formulated.

School responds to the New Normal Classes IRENE B. QUILANG Teacher III Tambo Central School

Learners, parents, and educators around the globe are experiencing the ripple effect of Covid19 as schools are shutting down and quarantine measures are ordered to cope with the pandemic.

While governments and health officials are doing their best slowing down the outbreak, the opening of classes via face to face among all the learners in the Philippines is strictly prohibited by President Duterte following the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Task Force that unless there is no vaccine there will be no faceto-face interaction among learners and teachers.

With this current situation, the Department of Education is collaborating collectively to ensure that education must continue despite the pandemic by

introducing different modalities of learning. Tambo Central School is very fortunate to have strong linkages in the community to heed the call of the Department to continue education despite the ongoing crisis.

The school’s existing Learners Management system, My. Eskwela which was introduced and developed by one of our stakeholders, Prof. Orven E. Llantos of the College of Computer Studies, Mindanao State University Iligan Institute of Technology, launched video conferencing as the newest feature of the LMS. This additional feature would allow teachers to meet their learners online to deliver instruction and check learners’ progress. Aside from it, the school principal could also use the

latest feature to conduct virtual meetings among the teachers and staffs.

Others features of My. Eskwela include Enrolling and Creating Online Classroom for Learners, Posting Bulletins, Announcements and Learners Activities, Assessing Learner’s performance and allowing parents to check their child’s progress through accessing the platform.

The new features are very timely especially for teachers who will conduct their online classes. Indeed, no matter how challenging and different this school year is, the teachers find light knowing that there are individuals who are willing to extend their service and willing to impart their knowledge for the betterment of the whole school community.

He added that aside from putting up a vaccine center, t he y a ls o inform their people to have themselves vaccinated “bago lumabas at saka pumunta ng ibang bayan to secure you kasi hindi natin alam na some of the areas in Mindanao or Manila nagra-rise pa ‘yung COVID positive.” (before you go out and visit other areas for security because we don’t really know if some areas in Mindanao or Manila still have rising COVID positive cases) As for ease of travel, Untaran said they are targeting to help the authorized persons outside of residence (APORs), locally

stranded individuals (LSIs) and even local officials in traveling to the town.

“Wala nang swab test, wala nang quarantine only na isa lang ‘yung requirement, the certificate of acceptance coming from our municipal health officer so makapunta na dito ang mga tao,” the mayor added.

(There will no longer be swab tests, no more quarantine. We only have one requirement and that is the certificate of acceptance coming from our municipal health officer so the people can actually come here) With the strict compliance of the residents of San Jose de Buenavista to the health protocols, Untaran said they have not recorded any casualty because of COVID-19 and they only have few confirmed cases in the area.

Davao de Oro’s Executive Order No. 0062.2020 which officially created the 1DdO Helpline system was signed last September 8, 2020 by Provincial Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy. The 1DdO Helpline has been providing the public with a contactless access to government services. This has alsoallowed them to seek help from their local Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) more easily.

Flying the turbulent skies:

Lance Gokongwei pilots Cebu Pacific with lessons from his dad

SOMETIME in the latter 1980s, the late John Gokongwei Jr. (a.k.a Big John) first toyed with the idea of starting his own airline.

He did not possess any experience in running an airline – yet this

did not deter the older Gokongwei, nor did the prospect of going against an established goliath bother him.

It was an upbeat period as the local aviation industry was steadily opening up with the lib-

eralization of air travel.

Big John loved to travel and had a fascination for airplanes as a kid.

“He was in the United States at that time and read about a low-cost carrier called Southwest.

That’s how all this start-

ed,” recalls Cebu Pacific president and CEO Lance Y. Gokongwei. “He came up to my office one day and said, ‘I started this airline—can you think of anyone who could help?’

For me, that meant he wanted me to help, so that’s what I did.”

Marking 25 years of flying everyJuan Today, Cebu Pacific has come a long way as it marks 25 fruitful years since it first took to the skies in 1996.

In the process, it has fulfilled Big John’s vision to make air travel accessible to more Filipinos.

And while the airline known for offering low fares and great value has encountered its fair share of turbulent skies—not the least of which is the ongoing pandemic that has upended the global airline and tourism sector like never before—it has weathered many The late John Gokongwei, Jr. with Cebu Pacific president & CEO Lance Gokongwei. challenges under his son (File photo from Dad lessons from Eddie Garcia, Nards Jimenez & John Gokongwei.)

Lance’s steady, able leadership.

This, Lance credits to the many valuable life and business lessons that he picked-up from his dad whom he describes as a classic entrepreneur and a visionary; learnings that guide him every step of the way in running Cebu Pacific and other Gokongwei family interests under JG Summit Holdings.

“All the lessons my dad taught us – he taught not through words, but by example. And the lessons he taught, guide me until now,” Lance said.

Lessons from Big John Even as a successful businessman, Big John never hesitated in seeking advice from others – a firm believer that learning never ends.

“You can never stop learning from others.

Even when you’re the boss or the manager, you will benefit from the

ideas of your colleagues,” Lance notes.

“If necessary, go ahead and tap the expertise of consultants and join industry groups that discuss problems in your field because no matter what challenges arise, make sure to find the solution, even if it doesn’t come from yourself.”

While musing on the business triumphs of his dad, Lance said in 2019: “’Till today, I think Dad was most successful with businesses that catered to every man, the common man, because that’s who he was himself.”

Commitment to serve Amid the challenges the airline is facing today, Lance is grateful to the passengers and customers who have trusted Cebu Pacific with their lives’ important moments.

“The unwavering support you have given us through the years

rardo ”Gap” Legaspi, who asserted that the best vaccine is what is available. Dr. Legaspi, whose name will be written in the country’s annals as the first to get the jab, elucidated that the Sinovac vaccine will give him 100% protection against severe and critical Covid-19 infection. He said that he had closely looked into the efficacy of Coronavax (the brand name of the Sinovax vaccine) gleaned from the results of trials and later for emergency use in Indonesia, Brazil and Turkey and what to him is important is that he will not die of a severe and critical case of Covid.

This means that moderate and mild infections can be dealt with by the body’s improved immune system.

Dr. Edcel Salvana, the Director of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at the National Institutes of Health at the University of the Philippines Manila, and Clinical Associate Professor and Research Coordinator at the Section of Infectious Diseases of the Department of Medicine at the Philippine General Hospital shares the same optimism as Dr. Legaspi.

An Adjunct Professor for Global Health at the University of Pittsburgh Dr. Salvana put it in another way. He said that each day after attending to several Covid patients at PGH he comes home worried he might have been infected despite all the protections he dons. He revealed that he had two vulnerable senior citizens at home and members of his family. He said getting the Sinovac jab gives him the comfort that he will not be carrying home the virus that causes severe and critical affliction to him and his household.

Dr. Eric Domingo, Head of Food and Drug Administration, was demonstrative in his assurance that Coronavax has high efficacy rates for those in the 18-59 age bracket. He was all smiles as the rollout of the vaccines and immunization drive commenced.

The rollout of the vaccines had started and the percentage of acceptance is running high. Private hospitals which are accepting Covid-19 patients, among these St. Lukes Hospital and Cardinal Santos Hospitals have asked the government for thousands of allocations for their Healthcare frontliners. They will get their

share.

Looking at the statistics Sinovac’s Coronavax would indeed be very effective given the number of transmissions the rate of recovery is quite high which means these are moderate cases of infection. This China-made vaccine, therefore, is as good as any in addressing that.

It will be a different story if you get infected while waiting for the US or UKmade vaccine. Turkey had in fact just announced that the efficacy of Coronavax is 100%!

One week from the start of the immunization drive we witnessed our health authorities demonstrating their trust and confidence in Sinovac’s Coronavax.

This is not to mean that we rely on it alone. The Philippines are among the many countries that have to queue for vaccines no matter what the brand for as long as it is cleared with FDA. The demand is high while the supply is short.

Last Wednesday, US Pres.

Joe Biden announced that it will no longer share any of its vaccines even to Canada and Mexico. That’s America for you. If it cannot love its neighbor, do not expect any single dose until every single American is inoculated.

The prejudice against China is misplaced as it stemmed from prejudice and ignorance. China has beaten the West not only in the area of the economy but in many facets of technology. Surely they cannot be far behind in various fields of science and technology.

America may be the first to land on Mars and Mars but how relevant is it to mankind? China is far from what the West pictured it to be - poor, backward, undeveloped, farmers living in square communes, people in dirty Mao jackets riding in bicycles in rugged streets. China today has the most number of billionaires in the world, their farmers living in high-rise condominiums, riding in latest models of flashy cars commuting great distances in high-speed trains over land and seas spanned by excellent roads and bridges.

China is being demonized and demeaned by the West. We are bombarded with all sorts of black propaganda scaring the wits of the gullible that China will wage war against the Philippines. The Chinese people are no fools to distract and impede the development and progress that they enjoy

virus transmission. The estimated jobless people as of December 2020 are at 12.7 million.

Meanwhile, the brunt of the ration of the unemployed people had been felt many of the Metro Manila Mayors. They decided in their meeting to recommend to the Inter Agency task Force on Infectious Disease (IATF) that the whole country be placed on Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ).

This recommendation will be based on the lesser COVID-19 local transmission in the Metropolitan Manila, Visayas and Mindanao.

This move will be to hasten the improvement of our economy. Much more many companies would reopen and accept more workers who had been experiencing hunger for six to eight months without income except some aid from the government.

the Magallanes Elementary School for public health care workers, comprising COVID-19 molecular laboratory personnel, health staff at the temporary treatment and monitoring facilities, community health care workers, and doctors, nurses, and midwives of the city government.

He said only three health workers manifested minor adverse effects such as dizziness and allergies shortly after receiving Sinovac vaccines.

Out of the 33,600 doses of Sinovac that were given to Davao Region from the national government, the city has been allocated 20,000 doses intended for 10,000 individuals, according to Lopez.

He said there are 16,800 frontline health workers who need to get vaccinated in the city.

Lopez added that 20,000 doses of vaccines developed by the British firm AstraZeneca in collaboration with Oxford University arrived in the city Wednesday.

He added that AstraZeneca vaccines will be reserved until all Sinovac vaccines will have been used.

Mayor Sara Duterte said last Monday that she wanted to expedite the vaccination of the frontline health workers here against COVID-19 amid potential surge due to the emergence of the highly infectious South African and UK variants in the National Capital Region and Cebu.

“We need to fast-track the vaccination of our health care workers. Although there is a possibility that they would still contract the virus, at least it will just be mild. We need to make sure that they will get vaccinated when they come face-to-face with the virus, so that they will have some sort of protection,” she said.

Even after the local government has managed to control the spike in new COVID-19 cases beginning the first week of February, the mayor said the local government anticipated another surge due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in NCR and Cebu, blamed for the presence of the new variants.

“The places that reported high cases will most likely be the potential source. If there is a source in Metro Manila and Cebu, mostly likely, they will be our sources of

cases… because of freedom to travel between cities and municipalities,” Duterte said.

As of March 9, the Department of Health (DOH)Davao Region reported 26 new cases, bringing the total cases to 20,341, with 1,148 active, 18,332 recoveries, and 861 deaths in the region.

Out of the total, Davao City, which reported the highest COVID-19 cases in Mindanao, tallied 13,253 cases, with 585 active, 12,025 recoveries, and 643 deaths.

Davao de Oro reported 1,187 cases, Davao del Norte with 3,053, Davao del Sur with 1,373, Davao Occidental with 212, and Davao Oriental with 1,263.

“It is urgent that we start the full-blast commissioning of the Pyroclave technology to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in contaminated medical wastes,” Tuballes added.

According to him, the Department of Health (DOH) allowed the provincial government to establish a temporary disposal facility to be used for a maximum of two years, where the treated medical waste will be stored until the province’s sanitary landfill is completed.

The province has already completed the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Sarangani Medical Waste Treatment Facility (SMWTF) and its final version is expected for submission to the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) next week, Tuballes said.

The EIS is a requirement for the EMB to issue the environmental compliance certificate, a clearance that will allow the province to operate the SMWTF. Besides the P19.3-million Pyroclave technology, Tuballes said the SMWTF’s components include the construction of a sanitary landfill and wastewater treatment facility.

Tuballes said the con-

11

struction of the province’s 2.8-hectare Categor y 3 sanitary landfill will be completed in about two years, just in time for the temporary disposal site to exhaust its life as authorized by the DOH. The SMWTF will exclusively accept toxic and hazardous wastes from medical and industrial institutions, and not domestic or nontoxic wastes, as the latter falls under the responsibility of municipal government units, he pointed out.

Sarangani is the eighth in the country to use the Pyroclave Optima, the proprietary technology developed by the Davao City-based RAD Green Solutions.

Pyroclave, one of the top non-incineration technologies available in the market, is a medical waste processor that uses pyrolysis, the process of decomposing organic material using extreme heat in the absence of oxygen, a project briefer said.

It is used to specifically treat infectious, pathological and pharmaceutical wastes as well as bio-medical materials like syringes and needles, it said.

Tuballes explained that Pyroclave involves thermal disinfection using limited heat in treating wastes, as compared to incineration, another waste treatment process that involves burning.

He said that based on the recent test commissioning of the Pyroclave technology, it has a capacity of treating at least 150 kilograms of medical wastes per hour.

As the province-run six low-level hospitals generate an estimated 200 kg of medical wastes per day, he noted they will offer the facility to big or tertiary-level hospitals in this city, which generates an estimated four tons of medical wastes per day.

Engr. Gerald Faciol, assistant Sarangani provincial administrator, said the SMWTF is one of the income-generating projects classified by the provincial government as a local economic enterprise. (Bong S. Sarmiento / MindaNews)

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 ecofriendly 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 targeted 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.

The key-factor that is present in all IDC’s projects and that has made the company’s developments so successful and appreciated, is the performancebased design which integrates sustainable strategies and green architectural elements that aim to reduce overall energy and water consumption, resulting in longterm savings.
