Mandulog bridge 1 eases traffic in Iligan’s city center ILIGAN CITY, March 26 – The opening of the Mandulog bridge 1 on March 22 has resulted to a significant decrease in the volume of daily traffic in the city center of Iligan City. This was revealed by Alberto Sator of the Iligan City Traffic and Parking Management Office (ICTPMO) during an interview by local media. “We are thankful to DPWH for finally opening the much-anticipated Mandulog bridge 1 to the motoring public. We now have an alternate route for motorists who want to avoid heavy traffic at the city proper especially during rush hour” expressed Sator. The Mandulog bridge 1 project was initiated by national government after the old Hinaplanon bridge collapsed during the onslaught of Tropical Storm Sendong. “Mandulog Bridge 1 allows motorists from Marawi City, Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte to bypass the city center by using the C3 road network”, District Engineer Alykhan Ali explained. The bridge project was implemented by DPWHRegion X and successfully completed by Adfil Corporation last December, 2020. After a final inspection by the Regional Inspec-

RTA equipped with appropriate laws – Calizo

“ALTHOUGH I agree that there’s really a need to review some provisions of our existing ordinances, in so far as enforcement of our traffic code is concerned, I don’t think RTA is not really equipped with appropriate ordinances.” This was stressed by Councilor Romeo V. Calizo, chair of the City Council committee on traffic management, in reaction to the special report of Councilor Roger G. Abaday during the regular session Monday presided over by Vice Mayor Raineir Joaquin V. Uy. It may be recalled Abaday reported about an accident that took place in barangay Puerto which caused traffic in the area. He proposed the procurement of towing vehicles that can carry heavy equipment trucks to avoid the build-up of traffic whenever accidents happen in highways. IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS According to Calizo, the executive department and the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA) should formulate and conceive appropriate means to effectively implement the law. “It’s just a matter of a challenge to the executive (department) to look into some maneuvers that should be thought of by RTA to enforce the law,” the councilor pointed out. “Siguro katong truck nga nag cause og traffic in See EQUIPPED, page 10

of the bad habits prevalent among us. Tearing each other down in order to attain something is reflective of an envious mindset. People with crab mentality are everywhere. You can encounter them on social media, where they are always busy criticizing instead of appreciating. Crab mentality is a way of thinking of a person who always try to pull down others, not wanting them to succeed, nor level up. It’s a metaphor that refers to the crabs in a bucket. They always fail individually and collectively. Crab mentality is also an attitude that clings on

the phrase ‘if I can’t have it, neither can you.’ People who have this kind of mentality are arrogant and plain stupid. They tend to regard themselves as special, trying to brag that they are superior from the rest. A person with a crab mentality has the habit of feeling threatened by the growth of others. Simply put, arrogance is their worst enemy. (ruffy44_ ph2000@yahoo.com)

MINDFUL

To V or not to V

THE country’s vaccination program against the COVID-19 is now happening in some of our major cities, my hometown Davao City included. The vaccination started last March 1 with the 600,000 doses of Sinovac from China. We also received on March 4 the initial 525,600 doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine through the Covax facility. While we wait for the arrival of the rest of the vaccines, the government is claiming that we’re on track in our immunization program and is confident to achieve within 2021 its target of vaccinating about 70% of the Filipinos. While this is happening, new variants of the virus are emerging and new cases of infection surged to an all-time high of 7,999 in a single day! The recent forecast is that we may hit 10,000-11,000 per day by end of March 2021. As may be expected, the market and the economy reacted. Stock prices went down and the economy shrinking further as fears grow that another wider and stricter quarantine might be implemented. With these as the backdrop, it is interesting that there is still an on-going debate whether to be vaccinated or not. Random surveys show that Filipinos are still divided on this serious matter. While many are already excited to be vaccinated, many are still hesitant to get the shot. I would like to say that I am one of those eagerly awaiting my turn to be vaccinated. My reasons are simple: I want to feel safe. It’s providing safety for myself. One thing that we should all know and remember is that all these vaccines, regardless of the brand and their efficacy rate, will provide us 100% protection from

severe symptoms which is equal to protection from death. Though we may still be infected by the virus, even with the vaccines ( that’s why efficacy rate matters to most people), at least it will only be mild symptoms and non-life-threatening. Comparisons have been made among the different vaccines in the market. If only we all have the luxury and the opportunity to choose, we will all go for the one with the highest efficacy rate. But with the limited supplies, we are not in the position to be choosy, for now. As they say, the best vaccine for you is the one you will get. Again, all these vaccines are aimed at keeping us safe. They all passed meticulous research and studies. I don’t know about you, but I just miss having to feel safe again! I want to help stop the spread of the virus. When I am vaccinated, I also help reduce, if not totally eliminate the possibility of being the carrier of the virus. Some are not choosing to get vaccinated because they feel they can defeat and overcome the virus, even when they get infected. Perhaps you can. But what about the other vulnerable members of your household or your office mates or the random people you may interact with? They may not be as strong and healthy as you are to fight the virus that you carried and passed to them. We are not only responsible for keeping ourselves safe. We also have the responsibility of making the people around us safe too. The more Filipinos get vaccinated, the slower will be the spread of the virus. That’s why the government is targeting to inoculate 70% of our population as this is the level by which we can effectively control and eventually eliminate

Jay Ledesma

the virus. I want to live a normal life again. It may not be as normal as it was before the pandemic, but at least we can resume our activities with some degree of the “old normalcy”. I want to travel and go to places again, I want to visit my family members in Manila, I want to meet up with friends in person and not via zoom. I want to conduct my business in the real company of people and not virtually. The social being in me just wants to be in front of people, in the flesh! Though some of these can already be done now, having that vaccine will make me more confident to do all of them. Am okay to still wear the face mask and face shield and observe social distancing but I want to be able to do my old routines again feeling much safer and protected. I want to see our economy fully recover. With more people protected from the virus, with fewer people spreading the virus, and with more people confident and comfortable resuming their daily activities, very soon, we can expect our economy to fully open and recovering. More people will be going out to work, buy, eat, travel, and even be entertained. This will mean more stores, restaurants, shops and other business outlets will be back in business. This will translate to more Filipinos being employed and having money to spend, save and invest. And the cycle continues. This is how we help our economy recover and grow. We would want to See NOT, page 11

the PHP761.24 billion recorded the previous year, a top official said. In a statement Thursday, DBP president and chief executive officer Emmanuel Herbosa said higher total assets was buoyed largely by the hefty increases in deposits which grew by 47.6 percent to PHP817.9 billion from PHP554.18 billion in 2019, and the 26-percent hike in investments to PHP260.1 billion from PHP206.57 billion the previous year. “DBP’s latest milestone manifests the public’s continued confidence in DBP as a strong, stable and reliable financial institution,” Herbosa said. “We are emboldened by the fact that the bank was able to achieve this feat two years earlier than

our projected timeline and despite the constraints of the prevailing public health crisis.” DBP is the sixth-largest bank in the country in terms of assets and has been designated as the country’s Infrastructure Bank by the national government. It has a network of 129 full-service branch offices, including 11 branch lite units situated mostly in underserved and far-flung areas of the country. Herbosa said total loans to borrowers as of Dec. 31, 2020 reached PHP423.32 billion, up 19 percent from the PHP356.75 billion outstanding principal balance (OPB) as of December 2019, with the majority of the credit assistance channeled to critical sectors and industries

Problem of teachers By ROSAVILLA J. CAMIGUING, Teacher I San Antonio Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

There is so much going on right now and there is an overload of information for us to process. Did you ever stop to think how our students are processing current events? They see news feeds, hear news reports, and scan photos and posts, but are they truly thinking about what they are hearing and seeing? I tell my students that my job is not to give them answers but to teach them how to think about what they read and hear. So, what is critical thinking and how can we integrate it into the classroom? There are just as many definitions of critical thinking as there are people trying to define it. Shape the climate to support thinking, create opportunities for thinking, build capacity to think, provide guidance to inform

thinking.” Using these four criteria and pairing them with current events, teachers easily create learning spaces that thrive on thinking and keep students engaged. One successful technique I use is the FIRE Write. Students are given a quote, a paragraph, an excerpt, or a photo from the headlines. Students are asked to Focus and respond to the selection for three minutes. Next, students are asked to Identify a phrase or section of the photo and write for two minutes. Third, students are asked to Reframe their response around a specific word, phrase, or section within their previous selection. Finally, students Exchange their thoughts with a classmate. Within the exchange, students also talk about how the selection connects to what we are covering in class.

that were severely affected by the current economic downturn. He said the bulk of the loan OPB as of December 2020 went to infrastructure and logistics which accounted for nearly 53.4 percent or PHP225.9 billion; followed by loans to social services and community development, PHP78.9 billion; environmental projects, PHP44.8 billion; and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), PHP32.8 billion. “We remain committed to the collective and purposive efforts of the national government to bolster resiliency and carve a steady path to recovery and growth especially of our traditional customer segments,” Herbosa said. DBP executive vice president for corporate services and concurrent head of operations Marietta Fondevilla said DBP’s net income for year-end 2020 decreased by 30.4 percent to PHP3.9 billion from PHP5.60 billion in 2019 due to higher loan loss provisioning and increase in operating expenses. She said DBP’s gross margin from January to December 2020 grew by 5 percent to PHP20.91 billion from the PHP19.9 billion earned for the same period in 2019. “DBP’s financial standing mirrors the general trend in the industry as (the) majority of the banks amplified actions in ensuring ample reserves to cover probable losses as a result of dwindling economic activity,” Fondevilla said. “We remain focused on delivering on our mandated role and mobilizing resources to spawn productive economic opportunities for our countrymen.” (PR)

This episode of “The VAXplainer” also features interviews with two Filipino experts on epidemiology and public health. Dr. Maria Consorcia “Conky” Lim-Quizon, a member of the National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (NITAG), said that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective for medical professionals who are at the frontlines since the start of the pandemic.

tious Diseases (IATF-EID) Technical Working Group on COVID-19 Variants, cited that the COVID-19 vaccine is modified from the original SARS outbreak, which was 17 years ago. “These vaccines have been in development for the last 17 years. They just swap out ‘yung SARS to SARS-COV-2. The science is there naman to be seen,” Dr. Salvana said during an interview. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) DirectorGeneral Eric Domingo explained the emergency use authorization (EUA) was granted to Sinovac on February 21, 2021 after See SAFETY, page 9

in all our companies is a priority area moving forward,” Zobel said. “We plan to align our diversity programs with bestin-class global standards, while working with peers to make diversity and inclusion as the norm in Philippine business.” A 2018 report by McKinsey showed that leading gender-diverse companies were 21% and 27% more likely to outperform their less diverse peers in short-term profitability and long-term value creation, respectively. These outperforming companies were also found to have more women executives in revenue-generating roles. Across the Ayala Group, based on 2014 to 2019 records, female employees dominate male employees by an average of 31%. At the top management level, 44% of senior leaders are women.

bers of the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment. Its construction arm, Makati Development Corporation, has a strong pool of female executives and skilled workers, a deviation from the traditionally male-dominated construction industry. “Diversity is a means to a better end,” noted Ayala Corporation’s Chief Human Resources Officer John Philip Orbeta, who was a panelist at the event. “But there’s still a lot of stereotyping like men are supposed to be the breadwinners and women are supposed to stay at home. I think there should be a whole re-education campaign on the benefits of gender equality, diversity, and inclusion.” According to Orbeta, the Ayala Group, which is committed to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, will continue to champion equality and inclusion in gender, age, or cultural background. “Equality and inclusion are very important to us. But we’re doing it not because of the numbers. We do it because we believe in it. That’s enshrined in our value of empowering leadership.”

understand why there are people who still prefer not to be vaccinated. Some may have had unpleasant past experiences associated with vaccines (the case of Dengvaxia) while many are not going into it as they lack a better understanding and appreciation of the matter. This is where more massive and aggressive information dissemination is needed from our government. Aside from bombarding the media platforms on how to prevent the virus, an equally intensive campaign should be done on the benefits of the COVID-19 and why we should not be afraid to get vaccinated. It’s good to know that some private companies are doing webinars to help their employees and customers have a better understanding of the vaccination program. I recently attended the Webinar sponsored by SunLife Grepa Healthcare, where they discussed the different benefits of getting vaccinated and other related matters. I am now more convinced to get my doses. You see, we remove the fears and the anxieties when we make people aware and informed. Let’s have more of these types of webinars. So if you’re one of those who are still at the crossroad of whether to V (vaccinate) or not to V, be mindful that the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines still outweigh whatever potential adverse reaction the vaccine may cause. Let us ask and listen to experts so we may be guided and helped in making the right decision. Meantime, let’s continue to strictly observe the health protocols while waiting for our vaccines and even after we have received our vaccines. Keep safe everyone.

Ebrahim explained anew that the decades of Bangsamoro struggle for self-determination led by the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Front (MILF) did not end with their forging of major peace accords that brought about the regional autonomous government, the latest being the BARMM. He described the initial success of the revolutionary fronts as fruits of minor struggle or “jihad asgar”, pointing out that the bigger struggle or “jihad akbar” has just begun with the BARMM governance in replacement of the 29-year old Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) administrations. He clarified that the government was “not the enemy per se” of the fighters in the armed struggle but the “oppression, injustice and exploitations” against the Bangsamoro.

He said the eggs are now brought at the breeding house in Claveria town, Misamis Oriental. When, he added, the eggs are hatched we will grow and when ready “we will distributed them to farmers.” These are all hybrid--campbell and indian runner ducks, said Khu. “Ang farmers sa humay ato siyang taga-an sa duckling kay kining mga duckling makatabang sab kay kini sila ang mokaon sa mga insekto sa ilang humayan,” Khu told Mindanao Daily News in an interview. Khu said the province will soon be able to mass produce eggs which “we will also buy at Php7.50 eggs each.” Sooner or later, Khu said, the province will become the source of fresh eggs for balut industry.

Imagine sitting in a class, feeling like you are drowning because you can’t keep up with your classmates. You know it’s not your fault – you have a different way of processing things — but sinking downward is a horrible feeling all the same. Now imagine what would happen if your teacher changed their delivery. The next time you walk into class, they draw a mind map on the board to illustrate how certain ideas and concepts link together. Bingo! You understand immediately because you have a clear, visual picture right in front of you. It feels life changing. This hypothetical is actually based on something that

happened to me when, in my role as a teacher trainer, I suggested one, small change of approach to another teacher. He couldn’t believe how easy it had been to make things more accessible for his students with dyslexia. I see this all the time in my line of work. Most teachers go into the profession because they feel a calling. They genuinely want to help, support, and potentially change a young person’s life. And yet, in my role, I am often met with resistance and cries of, “I don’t feel qualified to teach someone with special needs,” or “That sounds great, but I don’t have enough time/ energy/knowledge to do this.”

L EA D I N G Visayas-Mindanao developer Cebu Landmasters, through joint venture firm Cebu Homegrown Developers, Inc., launched its latest condominium project with premium amenities in Mandaue City, Cebu aimed at meeting the housing needs of a surging segment of upwardly mobile professionals and entrepreneurs in the region.

joint venture enables us to have access to high value locations that allow us to offer a new generation of Cebuano entrepreneurs and professionals seeking upgraded living spaces. Our exceptional sales velocity indicates we are indeed meeting a highly felt need.” With construction already underway, Mandtra Residences is a three-tower development on a landscaped 12,405 sqm prop-

erty with a lush tropical theme. A retail podium, a sky garden, clubhouse with adult and kiddie pools, jogging paths, fitness gym and chapel have been designed to provide homeowners a multi-faceted urban sanctuary. According to CLI executives, planning for this project took place at the height of the 2020 pandemic, so the design placed a premium on healthy living and a balanced well-being

with its generous array of amenities and lush open spaces. The first tower with a lobby and three passenger elevators has 26 floors with 595 units ranging from studios to one-bedroom units with selected units of both sizes offering balconies.
