Nacaya to public:

Not the time to be lax vs Covid-19 COUNCILOR Ian Mark Q. Nacaya on Monday warned the public not to be caught off-guard by COVID 19 even if vaccines are already available. “At the advent of the release and administration of the vaccine, the global community from all walks of life in various parts of the earth against COVID 19, there seems to be a laxity among the residents not only in Cagayan de Oro but also in the entire archipelago,” Nacaya lamented. During Monday’s regular session presided over by Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin V. Uy, Nacaya, together with Councilor Maria Lourdes S. Gaane, made a joint special report on the matter. COVID 19, in its various forms, has increasingly raised the manifestation of the virus and other illnesses among people even if there were already vaccines provided by the government and other institutions, he said. As a result, lockdowns were again imposed in countries such as Spain, Germany, Italy and some parts of Europe. More or less 8000 people in Metro Manila were infected over the weekend prompting the Executive Secretary of the President to issue last March 21, 2021 some additional guidelines to increase the awareness and See LAX, page 10

DAVAO CITY -- The Bureau of Fire Protection in Davao Region has launched Kaisa: Call to Action Against Destructive Fire Campaign in line with the commemoration of the Fire Prevention Month of March. SFO4 Ramil Gillado, Chief of the Intelligence and Investigation Section of the City Fire District said they want the public, local government units, line government agencies and big and small private companies to be participative in the campaign to prevent destructive fire incidents.

We must involve everyone in your area of responsibility as Kaisa-partners to prevent destructive fire,” Gillado said. He observed that nowadays, residential areas are prone to fire incidents where the houses are made of light materials. Gillado urged the participation primarily of residents

Tilapia fingerlings dispersal held in Barangay Pagatpat CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- About 3,000 Tilapia fingerlings were released into the Small Water Impounding Project (SWIP) at Barangay Pagatpat by the Rotary Club of Carmen Valley, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)-10 and the City Agriculture Office (CAO) here as part of their collaborative efforts in supporting communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our club has been built on a strong leadership foundation, and I am fortunate to have a membership that is fully committed to the Rotary ideal of service above self, and carrying out the many worthwhile projects that we undertake for the benefit of our community,” Rotary Club of Carmen Valley President Merlyn Ybañez said. In this private-public partnership, BFAR-10 and CAO provided the technical assistance for the release of the fingerlings in the SWIP while the Rotary Club extended manpower and financial assistance. According to BFAR-10 Senior Aquaculturist Ar-

lene Novo, the barangay can expect to yield full grown tilapias in five to eight months depending on water temperature. She supervised the proper release of the fingerlings as tilapias are known to compete with indigenous species in water bodies. Barangay Captain Roel Gabo welcomed the initiative and thanked BFAR-10, Rotary Club of Carmen Valley, and other key agencies for the assistance on behalf of the household-beneficiaries who were badly affected by the disruption caused by the global health crisis. With the expected growth of the 3,000 Tilapias, Barangay Pagatpat can have access to pisciculture that can be used for personal consumption or create a high-value chain system that would give income for its residents. “It has been said that if you give a man a fish you will feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime, but I say teach them how to make fish ponds so you can feed communities,” Project Manager Rosario Pineda said.

MISAMIS ORIENTAL -The province is aiming to be the “Balsa” capital in Mindanao but the whole Philippines, a provincial official said yesterday. Lawyer Jeffrey Caudor Saclot, provincial tourism officer, the “Balsa” fever is now being felt in the province. But Provincial Board Member Wayne Militante said the province must have a uniformed municipal ordinance that will regulate and govern the operation of “Balsa.” Militante said: “We need to build a durable floating cottages for the safety of the people and children.” Gene Harvey Busiños, provincial tourism officer of the Municipality of Alubijid, said “Balsa” started its operation in their town in November 26, 2020. Busiños said his office recorded only 1,000 visitor in a month when the “Balsa”

started its operation. He said the visitors rose to 13,000 in December 2020 and continues to increase in January 2021. “It eventually generates local jobs because fishermen fish at night and used their bancas to ferry passengers at day,” said Busiños. “Based on existing Municipal Ordinance, visitor is required to pay an entrance fee of 10 pesos and another 15 pesos as Environmentsl fee,”he added.

“During week days, the floating cottages is pegged at Php3,500 while during holidays and weekends the cost would be Php4,000,” he said. He also said that all tourists must follow the required health protocols. Saclot said Misamis Oriental is under the Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) thus all activities including the religious matters are limited to 50-percent.

“Although the province of Misamis Oriental managed the crisis well having at least less than 100 cases the province still requires the Reverse TranscriptionPolymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test,” said Saclot. “Business as usual is just that we are implementing the rules set forth by InterAgency Task Force (IATF), he said.

From lockdown to showdown

UPTOWN, Cagayan de Oro — Through the course of the pandemic year, we were at the crossroads of our survival as dreamers in our own right. The lockdowns were real. The intensity of fear and anxiety is immeasurable and lethal to those vulnerables. Indeed, how we wished the year that was had never happened, nor existed. Yet we have to face the music, so to speak. No ifs and buts in dealing this global health crisis. The show must go on. Our survival instinct came to the rescue, basically anchored on how far we could respond and stay the course to health protocols. But in the course of our struggle to stay afloat, some rascals were out to downgrade, malign, destroy, and worse, show their true

colors in public out of fun and ego-tripping. In a country with too much democratic space, there seems no stopping in spreading alibis, lies and disguises to misinform and mislead. Beware of these charlatans masquerading as protectors of the oppressed and the displaced in these days of pandemic. Their so-called fight for equality and rights has become an emerging challenge such that many were blinded by their sharp tongues and glib language. Also noticeable these days of lockdowns are the rise of pseudo businesses and investment scams hopelessly devoted to fill in their empty stomachs. The modus is hard sell given their shady deals of

doing business. Closely followed are the great pretenders in the bureaucracy, plying their wares of deception and lies to amass easy money and fake political glory. That said, charlatans are pretentious social media influencers out to gain notoriety, false pride and fast bucks. And as we look back at the multitude of breakdowns, we are now in for the showdown of a lifetime, ready to rumble. Our mantra for 2021: Lockdown out, showdown in. (ruffy44_ph@yahoo.com)

Letters from Davao

A decadent conspiracy IT is now obvious X-Justice Antonio Carpio has been consumed with a burning desire to oust Pres. Rodrigo R. Duterte. And there is more to it than politics. It can all be about Scarborough and what is beneath the bowels of that atoll and that power grab and the only means to achieve these of course is to mount a coalition for 2022 elections. During the launching of the “1SAMBAYAN” coalition, the X-justice hurled an initial salvo attack against Duterte and mincing no words calls him authoritarian, which is another word for ‘dictator’ and charge the President for abetting extrajudicial killings. Duterte has been inured to that oft-repeated tirade by his political enemies who had

been salivating for power. Moreover, the unkindest cut of all is when the former magistrate took a stab at Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte whom she described as “not qualified under their coalition”. Inday Sara had been busy supervising the enforcement of health protocols and strategic restrictions in Davao. It never occurred to her that a sneak assault from a person she must have least expected will come from happened. After all, she is married to Manases “Mans” Carpio, who like her is a lawyer, but as the husband of the much-talked-about up-coming political figure in the country, is admirably low profile. Mans is a nephew of Conchita Carpio-Morales who is a cousin of the for-

mer ombudsman. Strange indeed While there has been a frenzy of activities all over the country urging her to run the lady mayor is out of the radar screen. She had issued a statement as early as December that she is not running while her father, the President, had counseled her not to run. I did manage to get a crisp response from Mayor Inday Sara when I told her about the context of the tirade of the ex-Justice Carpio. Always a polite See CONSPIRACY, page 11

Hints and Traces

The art of productive hibernation

WE are not, of course, mere plants and animals whose periods of hibernation are periods of sheer inactivity. But with our current situation where we are made to restrict our movements and are asked to stay home, we should somehow learn the art of a kind of hibernation that is proper to us as humans. Hibernation, of course, is a kind of rest. It’s not actually pure inactivity since that would be tantamount to being dead. The plants and animals that hibernate may be inactive externally, but internally, there is some action taking place. To a certain extent, we too should know how to limit our external activity, but we have to make sure that internally

we are active. I remember a saint who with his followers was forced to stay indoors for quite a while because of a war that was going on. He was always reminding his followers to be active studying and praying, instead of just doing nothing or worrying. He told them that their restricted movements were meant for them to grow in the inside. True enough, after the war they came out learning new things, like learning new languages which became helpful as they had to go other countries for their apostolic mission. They also acquired new skills. We need to realize that all these protocols about quarantine, staying at home,

Roy Cimagala

social distancing, wearing of face masks and face shields should not affect us so adversely as to undermine our sanity, our human growth and development, and especially our spiritual life. There’s always of way of how we can take advantage of them, of how we can leverage them. We need to activate our faith in God, our trust in his loving and ever-wise providence. We need to keep a good sporting attitude toward this current predicament of ours. Let’s See ART, page 11

TOPIC AND DESIGN HEARING: DIGITALIZATION OF SCHOOL PAPER IN THE NEW NORMAL By ESTORMEO G. SERENA

Campus Journalism activities in the Department of Education is functional from school level to the national level. Suddenly, these changed due to the pandemic. However, the presence of the technology helps the school paper advisers and the student-journalists to find avenue and express their freedom of expression in the form of writing through digitalization of school paper. To continue the Campus Journalism Act of 1991 and with the advent of the vision and mission of the Special Program in Journalism (SPJ) as a supported curriculum of the Department of Education (DepEd), that envisions learners to be responsible and capable Filipino campus journalists empowered and equipped with 21st century journalistic skills enabling them to contribute to national transformation, thus, this study is proposed. The topic and design hearing of the school paper advisers (SPAs) and the members of the editorial board (EB) already implemented before the pandemic came. Since 2016, the performance of the Division of Cagayan de Oro Division in terms of school papering is not good since there was no win in all categories of the school paper. In 2017, none from the elementary schools won in the school paper category and only six wins from the high school level during the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC). In 2018, the face to face topic and design hearing of school paper was then introduced to all schools in the division of Cagayan de Oro City. It was then noted that there were 29 wins in the elementary and 27 wins in the secondary level during the 2018 RSPC and proceeded to the National Schools Press Conference with 4 wins. Moreover, in RSPC 2019, 18 awards won in the elementary level and 16 in the high school level and forwarded to the NSPC with 6 national awards. The topic and design hearing followed the format on how the story will be created, the angle of the story and the possible references together the modes on how to gather data. The school paper advisers will present the topics to the panel members and modify the angling if possible for the good of the article. But all of the sudden, the face to face topic and design hearing and the school papering were cancelled due to the pandemic. The school paper was not realized and the laboratory of the student-journalists to make a school paper was temporar-

ily pending. But, due to the demand of not suppressing the freedom of the press and to let the students air-out the issues in the society specially on the self-learning modules, the stress management of the students, the health related issues and the economy delays the education to serve the students well give the chance of the researcher to continue the school papering despite the situation. The gaps between the school paper, the campus journalists, the source of the information had gone since this study helped the school paper advisers and student-journalists to follow the format and the suggestions given by the panel members. Sometimes, bias news matters so with the credibility of the articles. Fairbanks, et. al (2018) concluded in their study that relevant words for credibility assessment, specifically to noncredible articles, seemed to be highly tailored to the specific conspiracy principles found in the training. While Taylor (2019) defined fake news that has been demonstrated to be problematic in many ways. It has been shown to have real impact on public insight and the capacity to form regional and national issues. Thus, there should be checker of the credibility of the article. This activity aims to: a. determine understanding of the importance of journalism in this time of pandemic by expressing it through different journalistic endeavors and approaches; b. present topics and criticize with the presence of the experts and winners of school paper contest; c. provide a venue for an enriching learning experience for students interested in pursuing journalism as a career; d. uphold responsible journalism and protect the ethical use of social media; e. enhance journalistic competence through critiquing and collaborating among SPA’s; f. select best topics for school paper, and sustain advocacy on social consciousness. This topic and design hearing gave chance to the school paper advisers and the members of the editorial board continue writing and used the technology in getting information to potential people who can help develop the story to a meaningful one. Through this topic and design hearing, the school paper advisers and the campusjournalists continued writing and able to compete to the regional level with quality paper focused on social issues relevant to the educational system and Philippine’s economy.

Natural gas: PH’s fuel of future By KRIS CRISMUNDO

MANILA – Natural gas will play a vital role in the country’s energy mix and in the government’s goal to achieve energy independence, the Department of Energy (DOE) said on Tuesday. At the virtual 2nd LNG and Clean Energy Investment Summit, DOE Assistant Secretary Leonido Pulido III urged investors

to look into opportunities in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector in the country. “Wit h Ma l amp ay a’s depletion estimated to occur in the next few years, there is an urgent need to attract more investments in the downstream LNG industry,” Pulido said. He said that aside from adding natural gas sources in the energy mix, DOE also envisions the country to be

the LNG hub in Southeast Asia. The DOE has issued three notices to proceed for LNG terminal projects to Excelerate Energy L.P., Batangas Clean Energy Inc., and Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Company of Manila, Inc. FGEN LNG Corp. and Energy World Gas Operations Philippines Inc. also received their permits to

SMC gives livelihood aid to ex-settlers at Bulacan airport site

Laborers build floating cottages off the waters in the Municipality of Aubijid town, Misamis Oriental. hoto by gerry lee gorit

MANILA – Over a hundred former Taliptip coastal residents are eyeing to become micro-entrepreneurs under a program by San Miguel Corporation (SMC) that will provide them training and capital to become the company’s business partners, as community resellers of the food and beverage giant’s products. The program is part of a host of financial, housing, skills training, and livelihood assistance given by SMC to former settlers at the future site of its PHP740billion Manila International Airport project. “As we committed to our Taliptip relocatees, our assistance to them does not stop at helping them build new concrete homes on safe ground, in land that they own. For most of the past year, we have been continuously providing them skills and livelihood training and job opportunities. This reseller program represents our next-level effort to help ensure they will have better and more sustainable income,” SMC president Ramon S. Ang said. Ang said the company also continues to aggressively pursue livelihood training for all relocatees whether under its partnership with TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) --which enables beneficiaries to work at the airport or put up small businesses to support the project-or its community training program, which aims to enhance their ability to earn from local industries such as seafood processing, among others. “Even as we work on the bigger task at hand, which is to help bring economic development not just to Bu-

lacan and but for our whole country, by investing in a world-class international airport and its infrastructure network, we are equally focused on making sure our communities will not be left behind, and in fact, can be empowered to be part of growth and at the same time sustainably provide for their families,” Ang said. Under the community reseller program, SMC will provide the initial inventory of Purefoods and Magnolia frozen products and equipment to qualified relocatees, who will be formed into cooperatives with the help of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA). SMC will also train relocatees in running the business. So far, 180 relocatees have signified their interest in joining the program. A total of 48 individuals have already undergone a two-day entrepreneurship training. Succeeding batches are also set to take the same seminar. “While capital is important in any business, it is vital to provide entrepreneurship training to our resellers, to ensure that they are successful in running and growing their small businesses. With the help of our experienced business mentors, we orient our resellers on key entrepreneurial skills they will need,” Ang said. Ang said they were trained on how to prepare their business plan, give them knowledge about financial literacy, including bookkeeping and accounting, and teach them marketing strategies. “We also assist them in finding the right location in their respective communities,“ he added.

AC Health, QualiMed ramp up vaccination program, equip facilities to address COVID surge ON March 19, the QualiMed Health Network shared its progress of vaccinating over 1,400 of its healthcare worker population. The QualiMed Health Network, with hospitals in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, Tanauan, Batangas, and Iloilo City, Iloilo, are among the first to receive the doses of AstraZeneca and Sinovac vaccines from the DOH-IATF, in collaboration with respective local government units. “The QualiMed team is extremely grateful to the DOH and IATF for providing vaccine doses for our frontline healthcare workers. This week, nearly 90% of our team have reported that they are willing to be vaccinated which is encouraging not only for us, but also for other Filipinos. As

we continue to ramp up our vaccination program, we also hope to address vaccine hesitancy in the country and emphasize its crucial role in providing safer and more reliable healthcare to our patients,” said Jimmy Ysmael, President and CEO of the QualiMed Health Network. “The AC Health network renews its commitment to support the government in the fight against the pandemic. With the surge of COVID cases, we are gearing up our testing sites, facilities, and digital platforms to continue providing accessible healthcare to Filipinos. Moving forward, we are preparing to contribute to the country’s vaccination efforts as we gear up for large-scale administration. We have identified and are

setting up nearly 20 megasites nationwide with a goal to administer 1,000,000 doses by 2021,” said Paolo Borromeo, President and CEO of AC Health. Recently, the Ayala Group, led by Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc (AC Health), has collaborated with ICTSI and Moderna to reach a supply deal for 13 million vaccine doses for the Philippines. The group aims to launch its COVID vaccination program for employees and partners in June, pending the delivery of procured vaccines from manufacturers and the allocation of vaccines by the national government. AC Health also continues to respond to the recent COVID surge by leveraging its network that has IN PHOTO: Mr. Ramon Abadilla, COO of QualiMed San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, re-

This is a signal to the market that natural gas and LNG will be here to stay in our energy mix,” he said. Gatchalian echoed that LNG is “a mode to achieve energy independence”. “I’m looking to make our country more energy independent, and the way to do that is to harness what we have in the country —hydro, natural gas— as long as it doesn’t burden our consumers with high electricity cost,” he added. According to DOE, natural gas accounts for 21.9 percent of the country’s power generation mix in 2019. The country targets to increase natural gas’ share to energy mix to 33 percent by 2040, while renewable energy will share 32

Ang cited the success of the initial community store handled by former Sitio Kinse residents at their new housing community in Barangay Bambang, also in Bulakan. Before helping them put up the first community store, SMC helped former Sitio Kinse residents Teodoro Bacon, Rodel Alvarez, Primitivo Canceran, Roberto Bantigue, Jose Roger Requinto, in securing their land titles and constructing their new homes. “While fishing remains to be the main source of income for many relocatees, expanding their income sources will allow them to live beyond a day-to-day basis. They will have the means to spend for their daily needs and more, and maybe even save some for their future,” Ang said. He said SMC is also supporting the growth of their fishing industry even as it makes training and livelihood opportunities available. “That is why our communitybased training program has focused on fish and meat processing,

Ang said the recent show of support for the airport project by Bulacan province’s local officials and various stakeholders has only served to strengthen its resolve to come up with more programs and projects to help the province. “As our partners in the airport project, we are thankful that they fully understood what we are doing not just for the province, but for our country. While the airport project will do a lot to provide jobs and help our economic recovery from the pandemic, we’re essentially building for the future. We’re making sure our country and our people will be able to handle the future growth of our economy and population,” he said. (PR)

to 30 beds, effectively doubling the total bed capacity for COVID patients since the facilities were initially upgraded last year. Healthway’s Family and Multi-Specialty clinics also remained open to serve as extended frontline care. Since the beginning of the pandemic, AC Health’s network of QualiMed hospitals and Healthway clinics has triaged over 500,000 patients. On testing sites, the Ayala Group, led by AC Health, engaged with private sector partners to build 4 Biosafety Level 2 modular laboratories in QualiMed hospitals across the country. This consortium was formed as part of the Ayala Group’s initiative to contribute an additional capacity of 5,500 confirmatory RT-PCR tests per day in support of the Department of Health’s and the Inter-agency Task Force’s Project T3 (Test, Trace, Treat). As of today, the laboratories have already conducted over 150,000 tests. AC Health’s Vigos Ventures and Globe’s 917Ventures, also launched HealthNow, an all-inone healthcare app that offers telemedicine consultations, online medicine ordering and delivery, and clinic and diagnostic testing booking.

The national government aims to procure 161 million vaccine doses this year to inoculate 70 to 80 millions of Filipinos against the virus. With this, the PCOO chief encouraged the public to take part in the vaccination program. As of March 20, 2021 report, the country has received1,125,600 doses of vaccine. Of the total number of vaccinated individuals, 190,645 were given the first dose of Sinovac’s Coronavac, and 146,011 for AstraZeneca. “Karon an among panawagan, unta ato suportahan an programa nan ato gobyerno para maachieve nato ang herd immunity sa pamaagi nga pagpabakuna ninyo. Para ini sa imo kaayuhan, ug sa inyong mga pamilya [We now call on each and every one of you to support our collective vision of achieving herd immunity by getting vaccinated.

PARTIES Petitioner is of legal age, married, Filipino, and a resident of Imelda, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte; Respondent is of legal age, married, Filipino, with home address at Colombio, Sultan Kudarat; FACTS Mostly, the facts of this Petition are taken from the Psychological Case Analysis particularly on COURTSHIP & MARITAL HISTORY by Dr. Ana Bellusa M. Pellejo, Ph. D. Psychology, to whom Petitioner consulted to be evaluated. A copy of it is attached hereof as Annex “A”; Petitioner and respondent first got to know each other in August 2005 through mediated communication of the cell phone SMS or texting as referred by their common friends while the petitioner was working in Manila as a domestic helper; Respondent was a drop out college student from Sultan Kudarat. They had a long-distance cell phone mediated heterosexual relationship for two years without having seen each other personally; However, in July 2007, respondent asked petitioner to visit him in Sultan Kudarat since he had impregnated a girl from his hometown and the latter was pursuing him to be married to her. Moreover, the respondent’s mother pleaded to the petitioner that his son’s impregnating another girlfriend was not intended and he still wanted to marry her instead, as he really loved her; As such, the petitioner decided to travel to Sultan Kudarat to save the respondent from his predicament and after their first personal meeting in July 2007, they decided to cohabit in Manila so the respondent can escape from his pregnant other girlfriend; However, when the parties went to visit the petitioner’s parents in Sindangan from Sultan Kudarat, the petitioner’s parents did not

agree to their cohabitation proposal and insisted that they get a civil marriage instead; Consequently, the parties arranged and have their civil marriage before the honourable Mayor Bert C. Macias last September 28, 2007 of the Municipality of Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, where the petitioner was only 23 and the respondent 25 years old at the time of their wedding. A copy of their Certificate of Marriage is attached hereof as Annex “B”; After their civil marriage, the parties went to Manila and the petitioner went back to her work as a domestic helper; Meanwhile, the respondent got employed in the Steel Asia as a factory worker. They stayed in a rented house in Bulacan in the years 2007-2009; However, sometime in September to December 2008, the petitioner caught the respondent as having an extramarital relationship with her paternal lady first cousin, named Melanie Ambawas who used to visit them in their rented conjugal house in Bulacan; During such first infidelity confrontation, the respondent squeezed the petitioner’s face; Sometime the February 2009, the petitioner got pregnant for the first time with their first child. But due to the firsthand experience of the respondent’s infidelity with her own first paternal cousin the two-months baby in her womb was miscarried in April 2009; Without adequately settling their marital conflicts, and in order to improve economically, the petitioner loaned from her domestic employer some amount to fund the respondent’s application for an OFW job in Saudi Arabia after gaining experience in the Steel Asia; Respondent left the Philippines to work with the AI Raji Company in Saudi Arabia in August of 2009 and worked there until the present. Until now, they are childless; On the other hand, the petitioner went home to her parent’s house in Sindangan, Z.N. to continue with her studies since the respondent promised to support her with the monthly remittance of P15k. As such, the petitioner continued her 3rd and 4th years of high school at the ALS in Sindangan, Z.N. and qualified to take a college degree in BS Information Technology at the St. Joseph Academy which she finished from 2013-2017; However, beginning 2010 and during the 10 years of their longdistance marriage, the parties had their marital trust gradually corroded social media indirectly informing her that her husband was into relationship with them; In one instance, one girl chatted her in FB messenger asking her, “Why is the picture of my boyfriend in your profile picture?” This and many other girls often confronted her that they are into relationship with the respondent which caused so much anxiety, depression, and emotional devastation on the part of the petitioner; When the petitioner would confront the evidences of the respondent’s womanizing each year when he comes home for a month’s vacation, the respondent merely remained silent and said nothing; Moreover, in 2017 when the petitioner graduated from her college degree, the respondent also stopped sending her any form of financial support forcing the petitioner to seek out any form of employment or income; After being adept in the use of computer technology with her BS IT degree, she sought to become a caregiver to an old retired man in Switzerland who financed her trip to and stay for three months as a tourist and caregiver of him there sometime in 2017; When she came home in 2018, the petitioner saw in the messenger of the FB account of the respondent some mutual love messages of another women to him. As such, in February 2018, the petitioner decided to separate for good as their relationship had already died and informed the respondent about her decision. Thus ended their mostly long-distance courtship of 2 years, and 11 years of long distance marriage from 2017 to 2018; Per findings in the Psychological Case Analysis, it is evident that both the petitioner and the respondent are psychologically incapacitated as evident by the petitioner’s Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder evident in the early adult stage of their lives; Such personality disorders were developed from childhood and became so ingrained in the personality of individuals concerned that these disorders have become PERMANENT, GRAVE and INCURABLE; With the above aforementioned diagnostic findings, it is accurately concluded that the marriage of the petitioner to the respondent was an invalid act afforded by the already formed Personality Disorders which were present before the marriage, which supports the psychological incapacity of the couple to contract marriage; Both of the parties were, from the very beginning, never able to assume or perform their moral and legal duties and obligations as husband and wife to each other due to their psychological incapacities, and that they were forced by circumstances to have an untimely marriage which existed now in paper only but never in reality; Moreover, the parties’ behavior during their period of co-habitation exhibits a lack and insufficient display of passion, compassion and commitment; It is now unbearable and painful on the part of the Petitioner to remain tied to Respondent who does not anymore observe mutual love, respect, and fidelity;

22. There is no possibility of getting back the normal situation of petitioner’s conjugal relationship with the respondent considering that their marital union is getting worse as the days passed by; 23. Petitioner’s and Respondent’s actuations are all indicative of psychological Incapacity and constitute sufficient grounds for the declaration of nullity of their m marriage in accordance with Article 36 of the Family Code of the Philippines; PRAYER/RELIEF Wherefore, premises considered, it is more respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that after hearing, judgment be rendered as follows: a. Declaring the psychological incapacity of the Petitioner and respondent to comply with the essential marital obligations and responsibilities of marriage at the time of the celebration of marriage even if such incapacity becomes manifest only after its celebration; b. Declaring the marriage of petitioner with respondent as null and void since the beginning; Petitioner further prays for other reliefs and remedies which this Honorable Court may deem just and equitable in the premises.

“Great things start from small beginning!” – A tagline song from one of the commercials I’ve heard on television way back, which until now still lingers on my mind. It is a living experience on the part of Gusa Elementary school to be one of the recipients to receive books for free from one of the largest American publishers of encyclopedias, GROLIER (Philippines). Headed by Sir Roniel Macalinga, the turnover of the Grolier that happened last week was a success. The donated books was received by the head principal (with a big heart ) of Gusa Elementary School, maam Annabelle J. Lariba together with her assistant school Principal Sir Loreto Llaban. The turnover was filled with insights shared by Sir Roniel. In line with DepEd’s program, “Every child a reader” Grolier company is helping children learn to read as well through their published books and innovations being sold. It is said that they have continuously helping children learn to read through their book for 100 years worldwide and 60 years

in asia and still growing. In return, they have been sharing some of their books for free, and more days of sharing to come as stated by sir Roniel. In addition, he stated that by nurturing children in early years, brain can be activated. Children need to be trained for school readiness. As mentioned, reading to children, can inculcate listening skill, develop child’s vocabulary and encourages creative imagination. It is important to help children learn to develop the love of book/inter-active book. Parents support too is crucial especially in today’s situation where parents serve as facilitator in learning through the different learning modality implemented.

Teaching Strategies in Mathematics Education By ANGELITA D. PUTOL Teacher III

Many students believe that mathematics is a hard nut to crack and that they do not have excellent math skills. The teacher has a big role of ensuring that students develop a positive attitude towards mathematics so that their performance can improve. Teaching mathematics requires a lot of techniques and strategies in order to motivate the learners. The teacher must have mechanisms that would accommodate multicultural students and those with exceptionalities and encourage their curiosity towards mathematics. Understanding of mathematics by students to a great extent depends on the teacher’s creativity and use of techniques and strategies that creates curiosity of students towards mathematics. In a learning set up or classroom, there may be students of different cultural backgrounds and

others with exceptionalities. It is very important when teaching to satisfy the needs of all the students. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn. However, this can sometimes be a difficult task because learning happens in a variety of ways. Not all students learn in the same manner; different learning styles are a given in a class full of diverse students. Every student is an individual, and so they do not all learn and retain information exactly the same way. The teacher will attend to each student according to their learning levels. For instance, he should have time beyond the classroom session to instruct students whose ability could not allow them to understand during the normal class session. This will encourage the students because it will allow slow learners to at least keep pace with the fast learners.

curb the COVID-19 pandemic forges ahead, headlines continue to highlight development breakthroughs and safety concerns. Vaccines allow the body to build immunity by activating T and B lymphocytes, cells that, respectively, recognize the targeted virus and produce antibodies to combat it. A vaccine cannot cause COVID-19. No vaccine contains a complete form of the virus responsible for this illness. While their body builds immunity, it is normal for a person to experience minor side effects. A person might also experience side effects around the injection site, which is usually the upper arm. These might include swelling, pain, redness, an itchy rash, and other mild forms of irrita-

Health authorities recognize that each of the 13 authorized COVID-19 vaccines can cause side effects. These are often mild and last for only a few days. They are not unexpected. Rarely, a person experiences an allergic reaction to one or more of the ingredients in a vaccine. They might develop hives or another type of skin rash, swelling, and respiratory symptoms. A severe allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis, and it involves low blood pressure, nausea, and difficulty breathing, among other symptoms. Anaphylaxis is an extremely rare side effect of vaccination. According to the CDC, around 2–5 people per million, or fewer than 0.001% of people vaccinated in the U.S. have experienced anaphylaxis afterward.

EARTHQUAKE FAULT LINES in Misamis Oriental By SHERLITA L. SUSON Teacher I

RECENT reports from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office said that new earthquake generators found in the Province of Misamis Oriental are: the Mindanao central fault line from Barangay Santiago in Gingoog City which traverses to Davao provinces; and Magsaysay fault line from the Tagalogos River in Magsaysay which passes through the Agusan provinces in Caraga. Other identified earthquake fault lines in Misamis Oriental, that was previously announced by the Provincial Government are the four active fault lines : Cabanglasan town in Bukidnon province, Barangay Iponan, and the municipalities of Tagoloan and Alubijid in Misamis Oriental. The Cabanglasan fault line passes through East Misamis Oriental. One these fault lines move, the affected municipalities will be Lagonglong, Balingasag, and Jasaan because they are within the Cabanglasan fault. Other towns which might also be affected are Villanueva, Claveria, and Tagoloan since

they are located near the Tagoloan fault, while Opol is at the Iponan fault and the province of Lanao del Norte, which is near the Alubijid fault. MisOr province through the Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office has been intensifying programs to avert catastrophes that might result once earthquakes occur. In cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), the Misor Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office has been conducting earthquake drills and have been prioritizing the schools in municipalities that will likely be affected. The fault nearest to Cagayan de Oro is CABANGLASAN FAULT on the eastern part of the province, while TAGOLOAN RIVER FAULT- is basically the Tagoloan River. However, SEISMICITY MAPs (from 1907-2001), showed that less or not much earthquakes were triggered by the said faults. The bulk of earthquakes are generated in the eastern to southeastern part of Mindanao.

E-Games’ Pros and Cons By ESTORMEO G. SERENA

In our generation today, technology has become one of our essential things in life, specifically electronic games or video games. According to Henry E. Lowood, the electronic game is also called a computer game or video game or any interactive game operated by computer circuitry. The machines, or platforms, on which electronic games are played include general-purpose shared and personal computers, arcade consoles, video consoles connected to home television sets, handheld game machines, mobile devices such as cellular phones, and server-based networks. Video games are electronic systems used to run games. They involve human interaction especially teenagers. Many types of research have been done on the effects of video games showing that there are positive and negative impacts. As we know not all video games contain violent content, but most of them are violent and mentally dangerous. Some researchers admit that violent games may cause children to become tremendous (Britannica). Studies showed that there are different effects of video games on children, especially those who are aggressive young people. These effects include: increase psychological awakening, which could also increase aggressive behavior, emotions, and thoughts and finally let children’s lose the sense of helping others. All these effects are carried because, some games reward players for doing violent actions, so this will affect them negatively, letting them think that violence is normal. According to American Psychological Association, playing video games, including violent shooter games, may boost children’s learning, health, and social skills. Playing video games may also help children develop problem-solving. The more adolescents reported playing strategic video games, such as role-playing games, the more they improved in problem-solv-

ing and school grades. Children’s creativity was also enhanced by playing any kind of video game, including violent games, but not when the children used other forms of technology, such as a computer or cell phone, other research revealed. People who play video games, even if they are violent, that encourage cooperation are more likely to be helpful to others while gaming than those who play the same games competitively, a 2011 study found. Playing video games has negative impacts on a child’s education (IvyPanda.com). Studies have shown that children playing video games affect their academic performance. Because some children spend most of their time playing games to the extent of not sparing some time doing their homework and others dedicate all their time to playing games so that they do not study. Because of failure to take their studies seriously, most of them perform poorly in their academic work. This affects their lives because without education, there are no good jobs for them. Studies have shown that poor performance in school is directly proportional to time spent playing games, the more time, the poorer the child’s performance in school will be (Block, 2008). Video games are a form of media that is often associated with negative health consequences. However, when games are played in moderation and with mindfulness, they are a viable source of stress relief as well as a catalyst for mental health improvement and the development of social skills. In order to avoid such kinds of negative effects of electronic games or video games, parents should control their child’s gaming and actively involved in their children’s video game usage. And also need to take control of the situation by monitoring the current amount of time the child is playing games, and reducing the time through close supervision and scheduled time for playing.

to provide the audience with fresh insights on in-demand skills and necessary values and the mindset that are important today. It will highlight the 21st century uncertainties that even the innovative teaching strategies could not have anticipated. It will attempt to paint vividly the future advertising scenario given the current backdrop. Finally, it envisions leaving the participants with worksheets “ala workshop materials” to support them in their future crossroads. This year’s YCF logo embodies all these intentions. Developed by MullenLoweTreyna, who shares the same vision as PANAF, the presentation illustrates how traditional walls are slowly crumbling and how borderless perspectives are being adapted. The use of airline vouchers showing the destination and career opportunities dramatizes the substantial and incisive conversations that can be expected from the event. The YCF experience is ideal for senior high and college students majoring in advertising, marketing communications and multimedia arts; thus the hashtag #UpToYouth. It can also provide thought leadership for communication professors and professionals newly engaged in the brand building industry. All sessions are free but preregistration is required to avail of the certificate of attendance. Save the date and see you all on April 29-30, happening live on PANAF YCF’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ PANAFYouthCreativityFestival.

be creative and inventive, and maintain a good sense of humor. There is no point in worrying at all. It would just make things worse. There is actually a lot to learn and to do while in a restricted lifestyle. With all the developments around, we all have a need to catch up with the many new things that are coming out. We can do a lot of reading. And it’s also good that we get to do some basic things that we usually delegate to others during normal times, like cooking, laundering, gardening, etc. And this kind of hibernation should not in any way isolate us from others. If at all, it can even enhance our communion with them. We can always pray for them. And yes, we should try our best to help them. There are those who are suffering materially, in terms of lack of food, money and other basic necessities. Let’s do what we can to extend help to them. But more than helping others in their material needs, we have to be ready and most generous in helping them in their emotional, mental and, most specially, their spiritual needs. We are never lacking in ways of extending this kind of help to others. Again, our forced hibernation can be very productive if we want

it that way. God’s grace is never lacking, and corresponding to it will certainly give us a lot of ideas and initiatives whatever the conditions are. It’s all a matter of faith that should animate our attitudes, outlook and reactions to whatever may occur in our life. Email: roycimagala@gmail. com

They could have just said directly that they want to run).” For his part, Attorney Mans posted on Facebook, “I cannot choose my relatives”. The convenor of 1Sambayan is a former Aquino Education Sec. Armin Luistro and assisted by a Jesuit Bert Alejo who was made famous by Bikoy. Carpio presented in his gallery of candidates the failed Otso Deretso senatorial bets, VP Leni Robredo, Nancy Binay, Grace Poe, Antonio Trillanes, and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno. X-Justice Carpio and Luistro appeared on primetime TV probably wishing their show of force will start rolling and gather momentum. But as it turned out, it was nothing but a whimper. Well, well it looks like 1Sambayan started to disintegrate faster than the sound and fury of the xjustice and the sermon of Brother Luistro. Mayor Isko expressed surprise why his name was on the list. Later he issued a statement that he would prefer Davao City Mayor in whatever position she runs. Then came Trillanes who said he will run for President if Leni will not. Trillanes has always been out sync as Stephen Sakur of BBC described him but then where X-Justice Carpio and x-DFA Sec. Albert Del Rosario and the Scarborough issue surface the chief negotiator Trillanes is not far away. Add the hard loser Jejomar Binay who from his retirement managed with a sepulchral voice to criticize Duterte and X-Justice Caprio’s attempt to either be the king or king-maker is a classic failure. X-Justice Carpio’s ambition to become President was extinguished before it can even flutter. What he merely accomplished was to assembled with loose nuts

and bolts some pieces of political junks. It’s the same faces that made up the discordant and decadent conspiracy to oust Duterte. But I would give credit to the X-Justice for having the courage to crack a whip at a quiet lioness from the South.

But both Muslim and Christian business and political readers have called to stretch the extension to 2025 and seven bills have been filed in Congress – five in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate – supporting extension by postponing the first BARMM election on May 12, 2025. Atty. Naguib said he sees a business environment in the BARMM that is “more absorptive of new capital and responsive to opportunities.” He said this impetus can happen and be sustained “only if an extension is granted, thereby providing the region enough room to flex and optimize its economic potentials.” The ECCP has brokered at least
