Parents accuse principal of PTA funds mishandling By DIVINA M. SUSON Correspondent
SALVADOR, Lanao del Norte--Parents, including officers of the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA), of Salvador National High School (SNHS), staged protest rally infront of the school gate since Monday (March 4), against the school principal, who they identified as Marilou Apat. The parents staged the protest rally saying Apat allegedly collected various contributions from them. Aside from collecting P100 as PTA fee, the parents
alleged that the school principal disbursed funds without an approved resolution from the PTA board. Bringing with them placards, written with “Apat Alis!”, “We Want Change”, “We Love SNHS, We Don’t Want Apat Anymore”, “Stop PTA Fee Collection”, “Principal Corrupts PTA Fee”, they stayed outside the school’s main entrance, waiting for the principal to arrive. The day ended without Apat arriving in the school. “Sinabi na ni Presidente Duterte na all public schools must be free, no tuition. Dito sa eskwelahan namin,
See FAKE, page 11
tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang PTA fee at iba pang mga contribution na aabot sa mahigit 500 pesos,” said Noronsittie Umpa-Sabdullah, one of the parents. Most of the students in the said school were affected by Typhoon Vinta that hit Salvador town in 2017. “Hindi na po kaya ng maraming parents dito lalo na at nagsisimula pa lang kaming bumangon mula noong tamaan ang lugar namin ng bagyong Vinta. May isang bata noong third grading na umuwi, hindi PROTEST RALLY.

Kit Tatad’s brand of critical thinking
HALF-WAY through his third year of ascendancy, President Duterte has remained a peculiar character and a good copy at that. The latest who took the bait was Kit Tatad. In his column published by The Manila Times, he tagged the President of undergoing kidney transplant, a serious allegation from a former Marcos apologist. His own brand of critical thinking can be a product of senior moment. Kit Tatad, now retired and jobless, should have discerned so well if it was possible for a 73 year old man accused of sporting a kidney surgery, like the President, to be up and running around the country, fulfilling his sworn
duty, day in and day out. The senior moment has indeed caught on Kit Tatad leading to his ouster as columnist of the iconic Manila Times. No less than The Manila Times Chairman Emeritus Dante Ang had questioned Tatad’s articles of far being accurate and objective, hardly the type of work a good, veteran journalist, or columnist for that matter, would normally exhibit. Tatad has failed to shut off literally Duterte’s aggressive language. The President has told an audience that Kit Tatad was suffering from a dysfunctional erection because of too much sugar intake. The President’s scan-
dalous mouth is proof of his toughness that shocked and awed not only Imperial Manila but the world at large. By being true to himself, he had all the sarcasm for the well-heeled, scented crowd of the elite and the mighty with his gutter language, but done an impressive job of endearing himself in the eyes of the greater mass. Duterte may be coarse, rough and uncouth, but throughout his stint in Malacanang so far, he has played well with metaphors -- the direct approach of governance that locked him up with the culture of the masses’ behavior and thinking. Duterte’s obnoxious ways
Ruffy Magbanua
are something previous leaders could not replicate, nor out-shadow, or even out-pace him. What matters most to people is Duterte’s standpoint and how he conveys his biting messages correctly and effectively albeit sarcastically. But with a steady record of very good ratings courtesy of SWS and Pulse Asia, more people have become optimistic about change in their quality of life And more people are satisfied with how See BRAND, page 11
Politics and a religious issue SINCE many years ago, in the developing countries, a religious issue has been dominant. The religious nations are apt to be utilized for political purposes. It is really very embarrassing. The chaos always happen when a religious topic is raised in public. They tend to be easily divided into different perspectives. Then, they are quarrelling. It is embarrassing. According to Christopher Callaway, from Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, the USA, there is still a close relationship between religion and politics. In political philosophy, these two aspects can be used for the topic in political domain. The reason is clear, by using religion as the tool for making claims, the politicians
get many supports. Any religion is logically supported by their followers. These groups can be so sensitive and easily made use. The followers of any religion can invite big group of voters. Religion and the state (country) are separated. But, mostly they can also support each other. It is even in the modern nation or developed country, like in the USA. A religion as the politic consideration still exits. Let alone in the developing countries, in the developed nations, such issue is still used for propaganda in politic consideration. Now that, the situation, induced by such issue is so strong. Yet, the impact on social condition tends to be disastrous if it cannot
be tackled seriously. The victims are of course, those who are low educated but they are fanatic. This group, unfortunately, is in big number among the literates. Therefore, it is like lighting the fire above the gasoline. It can make the society in chaos. This is, again, really embarrassing. Can a religion be omitted in political concern? Not, it cannot. Robert Audi and Nicholas Worstertorff (2000), describe this issue. In their book of Religion in the Public Square, they describe that religion is still important in politic. In his summary of their book, they argue that religious element are both appropriate in politics and indispensable to vitality of pluralistic democracy.
Dr. Djuwari
Yet, in public domain, religion can be used as a topic for discussion among scholars, students, and even citizens. This is the topic for all levels of society. So, when it is raised in a political domain, each of the groups can be involved and dragged easily into this big topic. It is like a bulldozers. From the top, rolling over down, and finally it becomes the fierce bulldozer. It is a huge energy, triggering the mass and even into chaos. So, religion is a good menu for politicians for See ISSUE, page 11
A Deeper View
Fear equals action NOW that the country’s electorate is again called to pass judgment through the ballot on how the sitting administration is faring in its task of governing the nation, perhaps it is good to take a look at the Duterte administration’s centerpiece program that, according to police records, have so far claimed 25,000 lives - the bloody illegal drugs war. What has this war so far achieved in regard its objective of eliminating the illegal drug menace after almost two and a half years of the Duterte administration? Has it reached its objective? By the way, the timeframe of six months to have this problem totally expunged was set by the President himself while he was still campaigning in 2016.
Of course, there is no need to rub in that the sixmonth deadline came, that was on Dec. 31, 2016, but the drug menace is still very much alive necessitating a recalibration of its self-imposed deadline. The nation readily granted the sought extension of another six months that ended on June 30, 2017. But June 30, 2017 came yet the drug problem was still very much alive and kicking despite the fact that it claimed thousands of lives already while being implemented. The Filipino people still wanted the Duterte administration to succeed in its centerpiece program. And showing its leniency, another extension of one year was granted. Even before the one year
extension could end, the President himself publicly admitted he might not be able to kick this menace to an end by the time he’ll end his term yet. What does this mean? It simply meant the nation need to understand that more killings will have to be carried out over and above the 25,000 deaths calculated by the police from the war’s inception in mid-2016 up to the present. The administration is even threatening to release the names of politicians in its dreaded list of narcopoliticians in the guise of guiding the electorate in making a wise choice in the May midterm elections. Many, however, strongly believe this threat to make public this list is only a ploy to prevent political foes from
Jesse E.L. Bacon II
getting elected to office as reelectionists or otherwise. This threat is labeled by many as a mere scheme at weaponizing the list against political enemies to prevent their election in May. This could be likened to a gun being pointed at the head of its political foes since the administration is supposedly shying away from endorsing or anointing shady characters suspected of involvement in the illegal drug trade. Undeniably, what the war on illegal drug has so far achieved was not See FEAR, page 11

MALUNSAGAY INTEGRATED SCHOOL: CHAMPIONING ALS EDUCATION FOR ADULTS By Noel D. Abao School Head Writer
True to the advocacy of the Division of Misamis Oriental, the entire team of Malunsagay Integrated School pronounced its implementation of the BALS Mandate: The Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) envision itself to be the leading producer of Filipino lifelong learners. In partnership with other producers of learning the BALS will develop exemplary program open creative learning opportunities to achieve multiple literacies for all. After a thorough campaign using all utilities in campaigning for enrolment of our own
school community members and aided by our able bodied GPTA Officials and the LGU of Malunsagay, Malwang, Claveria, Misamis Oriental, we have successfully enrolled at least 83 parents where 34 are males and 49 are females for school year 2018-2019. Livelihood for male enrollees are set on farming and the female enrollees are lain housewives. Their enthusiasm to come back to school and continue their education through the ALS program helped us as one school community to work on the improvement of their children’s learning ability. The aim for this school initiative during my administration is to signify to our parents the importance
of their individual parenting roles in the context of helping their own child how to read and write. The result was overwhelming that the teachers handling their lessons found much improvement in the learning proficiency of their corresponding children. All 83 adult learners for Malunsagay ALS program supported by a budget from BALS has the following LGA (Last Grade Attended): Grade 1 = 2; Grade 2=2; Grade 3=7; Grade 4=12; Grade 5=2; Grade 7 = 15; Grade 8=4; Grade 9=2; No LGA at all = 37. We are proud to say that we have an age group ranging from 16 years of age to 67 years old.
BENEFITS FROM TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (TESDA) REGISTERED QUALIFICATIONS THE ILIGAN CITY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL STORY By VANESSA T. BURAY With the advent of the K to 12 Curriculum that encourages DepEd Schools to have their TLE Specialization registered our school Iligan City National High School readily embraced the opportunity. Several months of coordinating with Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), our school eventually was able to produce the necessary requirements. At first the school was able to procure equipments, tools and materials for Bread and Pastry Production NC II only. While the school works hard to be able to have these necessary equipments, the documents and the laboratories were also prepared that, our first Specialization was finally registered. The following year the school also was able to produce the physical requirements for Technical Drafting NC II and Shielded Metal Arc Welding NC II (SMAW). These brought to 3 TLE Specialization in
our school that was registered to TESDA. This made the school able to produce NC II graduates from these registered qualifications. Our graduates coming from the scholars allotted to us from TESDA through Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) and Special Training for Employment Program (STEP) These graduates with their NC II Certificate are ready for the world of work and start building their lives. While the school work for the physical requirements to be registered, its (TLE) teachers were also sent to scholarships for Trainers Methodology I (TM I) program as the personnel component of these programs and registered themselves with National TVET Trainer Certificate (NTTC). Eventually the school was able to register other offerings, the Cookery NC II and Events Managements Services NC III which is under the Tourism Sector and the Basic Japanese Language and Culture, after one of its teacher underwent a Language Training as Scholar in National Language
Skills Institute at Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Taguig City, Manila, successfully passed the above course. At present the school has already six registered qualifications and continues to benefit from it. For every scholarship grant to our school, our teacher and the school have benefited from it because they both received a share from the cost of the training of each scholar, this share is mandated to procure equipments, tools and materials for the registered qualifications. And at the moment our TLE- TESDA registered specialization in Junior High School are fully equipped and hence better able to serve our students. Today the school is working earnestly that more specialization will be registered to be able to address the skills needs of the job market. Truly this make the school an institution that is able to developed world class skilled worker and better prepare them for the world of work and live fulfilled lives. (VTB)

dahil hindi nakabayad ng tuition fee,” Umpa-Sabdullah added. The tuition fee she means are the contributions that totaled to Php 540. This paper learned that aside from the Php 100 PTA fee, the school also collected Php 50 for school band fee, Php 90 for school paper, Php 20 for the Boys Scouts of the Philippines and Girl Scouts of the Philippines and Php 20 each for the eight learning areas. Aside from the PTA fee, which is to be collected per parent, the rest are to be collected per student. “Ang demand namin ngayon ay automatic na mawala na ang mga malalaking contributions kasi wala din naman kaming nakikitang project na pinaglalaanan ng aming contributions,” UmpaSabdullah said. SNHS has more than 1,500 students including senior high school. Alleged corruption “Gusto din namin na
mawala ang principal namin dahil hindi makatarungan ang mga pamamaraan niya kasi yung PTA fee, nagagamit sa hindi tamang paraan,” she added. The parents also alleged that Apat would withdraw money from the PTA even without resolution approved by the board. “Dahil powerful siya, nagagawa niya kung ano ang gusto niya. Na-promote na siya na assistant district supervisor kaya doon nalang siya, ayaw na naming na bumalik pa siya dito,” Umpa-Sabdullah noted. The Department of Education orders that no teacher, school officials and personnel shall collect fees/collects nor shall they be entrusted with safekeeping and disbursement of collections made by the PTA. Mano Mangontawal, vice president of the PTA, clarified that since 2015, the parents were already asking to stop the unjust contributions but they were not heard. They have even sent their complaints to the division office but there was no action. Voluntary contributions
Monday, March 11, 2019 Salvador NHS Assistant Principal Ester Culanag said the contributions are voluntary because there was a concensus with the parents to help the school and the teachers in the different learning areas. Culanag added that the said contributions existed since SNHS separated from Technical Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in 2002. “Before, medyo maliit lang ng konti (ang mga contributions) pero dahil marami na ang mga trainings and activities sa division (office) so we called for a meeting to help us kaya nag increase ng konti and it was approved by the parents,” Culanag explained. “Ang mga binabayaran ng mga bata ay may kanyakanyang paglalaanan. Gusto lang ng mga parents ay transparency kasi maraming beses na may pupuntahan sila (ang mga bata para mag participate sa mga official na activities) pero kailangan pa ng pera para gamitin,” she added. Culanag clarified that if the parents want all these contributions to be abolished,
a general assembly must be called, so that it will be decided by the whole body. Who is the school head? The parents are also demanding that Apat should not anymore transact businesses in SNHS after an order from the Schools Division Superintendent to appoint Culanag as school in-charge was issued. Apat has been designated as Assistant to the Public Schools District Supervisor (PSDS) of Salvador. Last month, Roy Angelo Gazo, Schools Division Superintendent of Lanao del Norte, issued an order designating Culanag as school
TEACHING AND LEARNING IN TLE/TVL
By JUDSON M. PASTRANO
TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION had a significant contribution to the lives of our learners. With our country’s Kto12 curriculum, Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) subject and the TechnicalVocational-Livelihood (TVL) track encompasses the field of Home Economics; Industrial Arts; Agri-Fishery Arts, Information and Communication Technology; and in addition, TVL Maritime. These are minicourses with sub-specialization subjects that are based on the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) training regulations. Geared towards the development of Technological Proficiency of every learner, the subject Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuyahan (EPP) for Grade 4 to 5, and TLE for Grade 6 is taught 50 minutes daily. Students will
undergo eight Exploratory TLE courses in Grade 7 to 8 depending on the courses offered in a school. These exploratory courses are taught for 4 hours weekly in which learners had the opportunity to explore 4 TLE mini courses for each grade level. Specialization will start from Grade 9 to 12. Learners may earn a Certificate of Competency (COC) and/or a National Certificate I or II (NC1/ NC2) in or after Grade 9 or Grade 10. Moving up to the Senior High School (SHS), learners who opt to take the Technical-VocationalLivelihood track in Grade 11 and Grade 12 will continue the TLE specialization taken in Grade 9 and Grade 10. SHS TVL courses are taught 80 hours per semester. This enables him/her to get a higher qualification to obtain NC II. In practical, learners are taught in learning by doing along with the five basic competencies common to all TLE/TVL courses: use of tools; perform mensuration and
calculation; practice occupational health and safety procedures; use and maintain hand tools, equipment and paraphernalia; read and interpret manuals/specifications. Students will learn more effectively if the teacher uses instructional tools and materials. It is therefore necessary that the teachers must develop, produce and utilize instructional materials that provide meaningful and relevant learning experiences. Learning in TLE/TVL is grounded on the principles of constructivism, contextualization, integrative, experiential, authentic learning, and entrepreneurial learning. Moreover, the SHS learners will gain meaningful and relevant learning experiences, and current trends in the industry during their work immersion activities. The teaching performance of TLE/TVL teachers should cope with rapid changes in technology relative to the teaching and learning process and to provide
sustainable and relevant interventions that are based on standards and learners’ need. Moreover, they teachers are expected to select, develop, organize and use appropriate teaching and learning resources, including ICT, to address learning goals in accordance to the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). They should have a positive outlook with initiative and resourcefulness in dealing with challenges and to develop effective strategies to help learners prepare themselves for the changing demands of employment or career. TLE/TVL teachers of the 21st century should be a facilitator of learning, demonstrate mastery of the subject matter, provides relevant learning activities and assessment enabling our students to reach their full potential equipped with functional knowledge, technical skills, and proper attitudes towards work.

But if it is between the parents and the principal, we will make an investigation,” Pasok said. Apat declined to be interviewed according to Pasok.

Effects of Reading Proficiency of Elementary Grades Teachers on the Performance of Pupils By AIDA GALOPE, Ph.D Head Teacher III Gimangpang Integrated School Gimangpang, Initao, Misamis Oriental
MANY educational researchers are one in their assessments that teachers’ teaching proficiency is vital in the performance of their students. According to them, e l e m e nt ar y t e a c h e r s have large effects on self-reported measures of pupils’ self-efficacy in various subjects as well as behavior in class. Pupils’ attitudes and behaviors are predicted by teaching practices most proximal to these measures, including teachers’ emotional support and classroom organization. However, teachers with high reading proficiency are effective at improving test scores and performance. These findings lend empirical evidence to wellestablished theory on the multidimensional nature of teaching and the need to identify strategies for improving the full range of teachers’ skills. Reading proficiency Reading is the process of constructing meaning through the dynamic interaction among the reader, the text and the context of the reading situation. Reading process involves visual motor skills and perception of the symbols by the brain. It is generally broken down into two components: „ reading “the words, or decoding and understanding what is read, or comprehension (Wixon, Peters, Weber and Roeber (1987). There were several
types of reading as defined by scholars. It is often described as the act of simultaneously reading the lines, reading between the lines, and reading beyond the lines. “Reading the lines” is the process of decoding the words in order to reconstruct the author’s basic message. “Reading b etween the lines” is the process of making inferences in order to reconstruct the author’s implied messages. This requires an understanding of the integral logic of facts presented as well as an understanding of connotative and figurative language. “Reading beyond the lines” is the process of judging the 2 significance of the author’s message and constructively applying it to other areas of knowledge and experience. Based on studies, children with poor reading comprehension greatly affects performance. It will have substantial impact on their ability to master other subjects in school. Richet (1989) indicated that as a primary cause of school failure, poor reading ability leads to lowered self-esteem and serious emotional overlays. Not only that it prevents individuals from reaching desired career goals, it could lead to misbehaviour, anxiety and lack of motivation.

Cariño said the review was conducted to ensure that regional priorities are reflected in the agencies budgets. “We want to influence budget preparation and make sure that it does not only fund our regional imperatives for development but also to ensure that goods and services are really rendered to those who are in need,” she said. Cariño further said the RDC has identified focused areas of interventions for the region. “We would like to see, where applicable, specific programs and activities for our focused interventions.” She cited that focusing interventions in povertystricken areas, conflictaffected areas, and geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas can make development inclusive. “Individually our budgets are small but if we pool them together, our budgets can have a greater impact on the areas that really need government interventions,” Cariño added.

Maganto said the cleanup operation led by PCG was able to collect 24 drums of recovered oil or 4,600 liters. They also collected 117 bags of debris.

Manila – March 8, 2019 Ayala Corporation has won Asia’s Best Integrated Report (“Highly Commended”) at the 4th Asia Sustainability Reporting Awards (ASRA), Southeast Asia’s highest recognition for corporate reporting. The awarding took place in Singapore last March 6, 2019. “Sustainability reporting has become an important tool for investors and stakeholders to assess a company’s full value. High quality reporting and disclosure allows organizations to communicate how they manage their economic, environmental, social and governance impacts, risks and opportunities to create value in the short, medium and long term,” explained Rajesh Chhabara, managing director at CSRWorks International and the creator of the Awards. “Ayala Corporation’s winning report demonstrates the company’s leadership in sustainability

reporting and a deep sense of commitment to transparency, disclosure and value creation.” The Ayala group’s first Integrated Report is the first of its kind in the Philippines. It shows how Ayala uses its different capitals—financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social, and natural—to create business
strategies that would benefit not just the company but the communities that it serves. The report details Ayala expansion from its core businesses in real estate, telecommunications, banking, and water, to more transformative businesses in healthcare, education, infrastructure, industrial technology, and energy
landed by Manila-based fishing companies. Frozen imports rose by 37 percent during the same period. Total fish landings in General Santos City however continue its upward trend over the last 10 years. In 2010, total fish landings were just 143,139.17 metric tons compared to the 2018 figure of 247,637.20 MT. But local fish landing was marginally down last year, from 107,368.86 MT in 2017 to just 105,965.68 MT last year after a decade of continued growth. Rosanna Contreras of the Socsksargen Federation of Fishing and Allied Industry (SFFAI) said the spike in frozen imports was driven by increased demands from local canning plants. “We see this as a positive sign and maximizing the capacities of our canning plants,” Contreras said. She said local productions are no longer meeting
the high volume of fresh tuna landings needed to sustain the operations of local canning plant. More than 85 percent of total fish landings at the General Santos City fishing port complex are yellow fin and tuna-like species, earning the city the moniker as the Tuna Capital of the Philippines. Six of the country’s eight tuna canning plants are located in this southern port city where more than 80 percent of the tuna landings are canned and processed for export. The SFFAI executive director said conservation measures have helped boost local tuna landings. The country, in compliance to the conservation measures instituted by the 26-nation member Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission, has been closing its fishing grounds for tuna fishing from July to October each year to allow
GenSan fish landings up, reach 10-year record high GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Total fish landings at the country’s second largest fishing port complex grew by 17 percent, although local fish production slightly fell by 0.01 per cent last year, according to the latest statistics provided by the Philippine Fishing Development Authority here. A record total of 247,637.20 metric tons were landed at the fishing port complex in General Santos City last year, up from 210,760.85 metric tons in 2017. The 2018 figures saw the largest spike in frozen fish landings since local tuna manufacturers and processors began importing frozen tuna more than a decade ago. L a s t y e a r ’s f r o z e n fish landings were up by 38,279.53 MT from 2017 of which 31,577.56 MT were brought in by foreign vessels. Of the frozen fish landings, 6,701.97MT were

MANILA -- Everything’s set for flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) ManilaPhnom Penh flights that will start on April 1, an airline executive said on Friday. Jose Perez de Tagle, PAL vice president for communications, said PAL officials met with some officials of Phnom Penh earlier this week and also briefed the Cambodian media about the upcoming route. “The Minister in charge of State Secretariat of Civil
Aviation (SSCA), Mao Havanall, publicly presented PAL with the approved landing permit for the Phnom Penh-Manila service,” he told the Philippine News Agency (PNA). PAL officials, led by its president, Jaime Bautista, also met with Minister of Tourism Thong Khon and SSCA State Secretary Chea Aun, de Tagle added. “Mr. Bautista said that with the support of these officials, the five times weekly PAL service to Cambodia See PAL, page 11

DOE office always open to all: Cusi By JOANN VILLANUEVA
MANILA – Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi discounted a dialogue with officials of rural electric cooperatives in Davao City on Mar. 19, 2019, which the group has called for. “I don’t know the March 19. I have not received an official communication requesting for such,” he told journalists on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association Inc. (PHILRECA) asked Cusi for an open dialogue, along with other stakeholders, at the Grand Regal Hotel, which it considers as “neutral ground.” The group said it “believes that a sustainable development in the countryside cannot be achieved without a genuine rural
electrification program.” It said for almost 50 years “the electric cooperatives have always been – and will always be – a staunch partner of the government in the implementation of its electrification projects in rural areas.” The dialogue is a response to the appeal of National Electrification Administration (NEA) See DOE, page 11

management, and investor relations. “We thank the organizing committee and judges for this honor. This confirms that we in Ayala are on the right direction in communicating our sustainability efforts and overall performance. We continue to innovate to make our reporting platform more comprehensive and informative. This achievement calls us to more action in taking greater responsibility to all our stakeholders. Ultimately, this inspires us to keep our focus towards our purpose of improving lives,” said Ayala Chief Sustainability Officer Jose Teodoro K. Limcaoco. The awards ceremony was hosted by the British High Commissioner in Singapore H.E. Scott Wightman, and was attended by senior business leaders from 13 countries. Also in attendance were dignitaries from other fields such as academia, non-profit, embassies, trade associations and advocacy organizations. The awards were presented by the Guest of Honor Jessica Cheam, managing editor of Eco-Business, H.E. Scott Wightman, and special guests Dr. Lawrence Loh, Director of Corporate Governance, Institutions and Organizations at NUS Business School, and Dr. Wu Huijuan, Assistant Director, Singapore Institute of International Affairs. Ayala’s award was received by Audrey Chong of Ayala International. A record 82 companies from 14 countries made it to the final round of the 2018 Asia Sustainability Reporting Awards across 17 categories.

administrator Edgardo Masongsong for the discussion between officials of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the rural cooperatives, it said. “We fervently hope that all parties involved will take the moral high ground,” it added. However, Cusi said any discussion between DOE and the stakeholders should be done at the DOE office. “We are always open. We’re here, we’re government office. We’re government institution and this office is always open to all. So no need of dialogue schedule,” he said. The Energy department conducted reviews of 17 cooperatives and it said only eight of these are “ailing” and have failed to provide efficient services to their consumers. Cusi said they continue to review operations not just of electric cooperatives but also distribution utilities (DUs) and generation companies as well as oil, petroleum and liquefied natural gas (LNG) manufacturers. He noted that even President Rodrigo R. Duterte has “expressed his exasperation in not just one, not just two” energy-related companies. “We are serving the public. That’s public interest and we cannot leave the welfare of the public to the sweet time of whether it is the ECs or the DUs or whoever,” he said. He said DOE officials cannot let inefficiencies be the norm, noting that they continue to check on the programs even of the past administration since some of these are yet to be implemented. “I have no quarrel with ECs but this is what I can tell you - - l have to do my job and I will not be deterred by fear of what the affected party will do. If that would be my mindset then what happens to me, regulatory capture? That can’t be,” he said. (PNA)

is happy to bolster tourist traffic in both directions and enrich the appreciation of the two countries’ cultures. Bautista earlier announced that PAL will be the first airline to establish direct link between the Cambodian capital and the Philippines. (PNA)

The Department of Agriculture, through its line agency Bureau of Fish and Aquatic Resources, has also closed several fishing grounds for sardine and round scad (galunggong) fishing such as the straits in Basilan and Iloilo during spawning seasons. Over 200,000 of the city’s population of 750,000 are dependent on the tuna industry, which directly employs more than 25,000 workers. (Edwin Espejo/ MindaNews Contributor)

eliminate it but instill fear in the hearts of everyone to the point that they are now immobilized from fighting against it but rather support it as if it is the best thing that ever happened to this country. We should understand that it is a concept in politics to strike fear in the hearts of the people so that in their frightened state they could be easily be manipulated to behave and act according to the desired wishes of the author of the fear. In our country, the war on drugs, which at first was said to have just victimized almost two million Filipinos, young and old, male and female, moneyed to penniless, among others. But now it has grown by leaps and bounds. The number of victims is now pegged by the President no less to eight million. What does this prove? It only proves that the bloody war just triggered an increase in the number of victims. It has not achieved even just an iota of its intended desire of reducing, if not eliminating the problem totally. Even the volume of smuggled drugs from China and other countries have ballooned to unprecedented levels. Whereas before the volume and value of smuggled shabu brought into the country were only worth millions of pesos, two years after the start of the war on illegal drugs, the smuggled shabu, intercepted by the authorities or now valued billions of pesos. This only proves one thing. It is failing in achieving its desired objective. However, it is succeeding in instilling fear in the hearts of the people proved by the fact that many still approves of it compared to those who disapprove of it for being too bloody even making the fight for accountability for its barbaric nature a lonely one.

their strategy. It is not only in the developing countries, but also in even developed nations. Conflicts are easily induced by raising religious issue. These conflicts can be used for identifying among the religious groups. Which groups are against other groups? Which groups are similar to the other groups? This mapping is a good scenario to see. The senior politicians can see these conflicts like a drone with its CCTV catching the pictures of the whole people in the riots. Then, they watch which groups are against other groups. From this, they can determine a momentum for a movement they choose the best. They can finally calculate by seeing both the risk and the advantages. That’s a topic of religion in politics. Only the educated people can see this and they are not trapped into the chaos. For intellectuals

democracy works under a foulmouthed, aggressive presidency. This includes how press freedom is exercised under his ward. Further, Duterte remains tough on crime and corruption, but still notorious for his aggressive rhetorics and policies. Despite criticisms, Duterte’s popularity has held strong in this country. The SWS/Pulse Asia survey results show that majority of Filipinos are satisfied with his administration. Yet despite all negative impressions about him, his presidency is not the usual thing — he is now part of a global phenomenon worth a penny to mention: Russia has Putin, the U.S. has Trump and China has Xi Jinping. Tough stance, disciplinary grit, but an endearing figure of a father – these are the admirable and remarkable qualities that make President Duterte an idol and a role model in the eyes of the ordinary Filipino. And yes, majority of the people admire President Duterte, not because of his incorruptibility and sympathy for the masses, but because of doing the extra mile -- bravery and even suicidal in governance. There has never been a President who took time out to be with weary troops fighting in Marawi and the order to extend martial law in Mindanao. There never was a President who traded guts and fury with the communist insurgents, calling their ageing Chairman Joma Sison to be man enough by returning home and face him off squarely. There never was a leader of this country who openly cursed the US and the EU of influencemeddling in the internal affairs of the state vis-à-vis the reported EJKs and human rights violations. There never was a President who locked horns with the leftinspired street honkers by joining them in a rally outside the halls of Congress. There could be more in the Duterte’s list. But for now, let’s cross our fingers tight. We are in for more exciting days ahead of us as we breeze through the summer heat onward to the mid-term national election on May 13, 2019. Duterte is a good copy indeed! (ruffy44_ph2000@yahoo.com)

of manufacturing the counterfeit tobacco products will be charged with violation of Republic Act 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. He said the suspects will be facing intellectual properties rights case for copying legitimate products. “It was determined that these products were counterfeit based on verification made by company representatives,” Bernales said, referring to the boxes of cigarettes bearing brands commonly found in the market that were seized by a joint team of NBI-10 and the regional office of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in a warehouse in Barangay Kauswagan, this city, on Thursday, March 7. Those who were able to determine that the confiscated cigarette brands using an electronic device were faked were representatives from the Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Corp. (PMFTC) and Japan Tobacco Industry. NBI-10 special investigator Nolan Gadia, in a previous inter-
view following the confiscation, placed the worth of the seized cigarettes at about P0 million. One of the possible respondents was identified by the NBI as Shi Zhulian, a Chinese national based on his passport, who was at the warehouse when authorities came. Aside from Shi, there were other individuals, both Chinese and Filipinos, who will be included in the list of respondents, although Bernales has yet to divulge the names of the other persons. Bernales said they released Shi from the NBI-10 custody as he was not subjected yet to an inquest proceeding at the City Prosecutor’s Office. “But he (Shi) can be arrested anytime,” he said, adding that the Chinese national is now under the custody Filipino associate of Shi while awaiting the filing of the legal action. Bernales said they are now determining if Shi and his cohorts are members of larger group allegedly involved in the manufacturing of counterfeit goods. He added the NBI is also trying to connect Shi and his companions with a group responsible for the manufacture of cigarettes that law enforcers raided in Barangay Cugman, this city, and in Villanueva last year. Both the NBI and BIR are planning to destroy the confiscated items in the immediate future.
