COWD: No need to notify PCC on bulk water deal Distributor & Dealer of: Steel Bars; Holcim Cement; Davis Paint; Sand & Gravel; Plywood; INdustrial Supplies; Finishing Supplies; Electrical Supplies; Power Tools; Air Compressors

By MIKE BAÑOS, Editor-at-Large

A SENIOR official of the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD) said the water firm did not notify the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) of its joint venture with MetroPac Water Investments, Corp. because there was “no need to do it.”

“We will wait for the PCC to decide, but MetroPac has already replied to that issue,” said Eduardo Montalvan, chairman of the COWD Board of Directors during a press conference last week. “The threshold (for notification) of PCC, if I’m not mistaken, is P3 billion, so it has to be a P3 billion project and ours is only P140 million.”

Late last year, Lawyer James Judith, representing Councilors Teodulfo Lao Jr., Eric Salcedo and Reuben Daba filed a motu propio complaint with the PCC alleging MWIC and Rio Verde Water Consortium Inc. (RVWCI) failed to submit their operation and management Officials and employees of the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD) with some of the members of the local media praci- contract and bulk water supply contracts when these tioners meet for a press conference during the World Water Day celebration in Cagayan de Oro City.

PCC recalibrates M&A notifications

THE Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) has recalibrated the thresholds for required notifications of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) after careful evaluation of the actual notifications to date and to keep pace with recent developments in the economy.

In its Memorandum Circular No. 18-001 released on March 5, the PCC raised

the new thresholds to P5 billion for the Size of Person and P2 billion for the “size of transaction” as defined in the Implementing Rules and Regulations.

This is the first time PCC has adjusted the thresholds since the Philippine Competition Act was enacted with the P1-Billion default threshold. MC 18-001

THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF THAILAND

By ELISEO I. FELISILDA, Ph.D. Teacher III/TIC Larapan Elementary School Malitbog-II District, Division of Bukidnon

INTRODUCTION Education in Thailand is provided mainly by the Thai government through the Ministry of Education from pre-school to senior high school. A free basic education of twelve years is guaranteed by the constitution, and a minimum of nine years’ school attendance is mandatory.

Formal education consists of at least twelve years of basic education, and higher education. Basic education is divided into six years of primary education and six years of secondary education, the latter being further divided into three years of lower- and upper – secondary levels, span 2-3 years depending on the locale, and are variably provided. Non-formal education is also supported by the state.

Independent schools contribute significantly to the general education infrastructure.

Administration and control of public and private universities are carried out by the Office of Higher Education Commission, a department of the Ministry of Education.

BRIEF HISTORICAL AND EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND Formal education has its early origins in the temple schools, when it was only available for boys.

From mid-16th century Thailand was influenced significantly with French catholic until mid-17th century. It was then left on its own strengthening its cultural ideologies.

Unlike other parts of South and Southeast Asia, particularly the Indian subcontinent, Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia and the Philippines which had all benefited from the influenced of countries with centuries of educational tradition, Thailand has never been colonized by a Western power.

As a result, structured education on the lines of that in developed countries was slow to evolve until it gained new impetus with the reemergence of diplomacy in the late 19th century.

Early Education It is possible that one the earliest forms of education began when King Ram Khamhaeng the Great invented the Thai alphabet in 1283 basing it on Mon, Khmer, and Southern Indian scripts. Stone inscriptions from 1292 in the new script depict moral, intellectual and cultural aspects.

During the Sukhothai period (1238-1378), education was dispensed by the Royal institution (Rajabundit) to members of the loyal family and the nobility, while commoners were taught by Buddhist monks.

On Narai’s death, fearing further foreign interference in Thai education and culture, and conversion to Catholicism, xenophobic sentiments at court increased and diplomatic activities were severely reduced and ties with the West and any forms of Western education were practically severed. They did not recover their former levels until the reign of King Mongkut in the mid-nineteenth century.

Development Through his reforms of the Buddhist Sangha, King Rama I (1782-1809), accelerated the development of public education.

During the reign of King Rama IV (1851-1865) the printing press arrived in Thailand making books available in the Thai language for the first time. Rama IV decreed that measures be taken to modernize education and insisted that English would be included in the curriculum.

King Rama V (1868-1910) continued to influence the development of education and had introduced the modern concept of a school with purpose constructed building,

lay teachers and a time-table was opened in the place to teach male members of the royal family and the sons of the nobility.

The Command Declaration on Schooling was proclaimed, English was being taught in the palace for royalty and nobles, and schools were set up outside the palace for the education of commoners’ children. With the aid of foreign – mainly English – advisers a Department of Education was established by the King in 1887 by which time 34 schools, with over 80 teachers and almost 2,000 students were in operation and as part of the king’s programme to establish ministries, in 1892 the department became the Ministry of Education. Recognizing that the private sector had come to share the tasks of providing education, the government introduced controls for private schools.

In 1897 on the initiative of Queen Sribajarindra, girls were admitted into the educational system.

In 1898, a two-part education plan for Bangkok and for the provinces was launched with programmes for preschool, primary, secondary, technical, and higher education. In 1901, the first government school for girls, the Bamrung Wijasatri, was set up in Bangkok, and in 1913, the first teacher training school for women was set up at the Benchama Rajalai School for girls.

The first university is named after King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), and was established by his son and successor King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1917 by combining the Royal Pages School and the College of Medicine. In 1921, the Compulsory Primary Education Act was proclaimed.

Modernization The bloodless revolution in 1932 that transferred absolute power from the king to democratic government encouraged further development and expansion of schools and tertiary institutions.

The first National Education Scheme was introduced formally granting access to education regardless of ability, gender, and social background.

In 1960, compulsory education was extended to seven years, and for the first time special provisions were made for disabled children, who were originally exempted from compulsory education. In 1961, the government began a series of five-year plans, and many of the extant purpose-built school buildings, particularly the wooden village primary schools, and the early concrete secondary schools date from around this time.

Recent From early 2001, under Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the Ministry of Education began developing new national curricula in an endeavor to model the system of education on child, or studentcentered learning methods.

The years from 2001 to 2006 showed some of the improvements in education, such as computers in the schools and an increase in the number of qualified native-speaker teachers for foreign languages.

Experiments had also been tried with restructuring the administrative regions for education or partly decentralizing the responsibility of education to the provinces. By 2008, however, little real change had been felt, and many attempts to establish a clear form of university entrance qualification had also failed due to combinations of political interference, attempts to confer independence (or to remove it) on the universities, huge administrative errors, and inappropriate or mismatched syllabuses in the schools.

Holy week is an opportunity, not obligation: Archbishop Soc

By Roy Lagarde CBCPNews.net

Holy Week is not just an obligation but an opportunity to ponder more deeply the two-fold mystery of love and cross, a Catholic archbishop said.

Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen-Dagupan said finding the real essence of the Holy Week should be a reflection of how one lives his or her life.

It’s not what Catholics must do nor it is about religious traditions and pious practices done to “feel good” after but what good they do to others, according to him.

“This week is holy be-

cause of love. Love alone can make us holy,” Villegas said.

The archbishop urged the faithful not to waste the chance to saturate themselves in God’s graces, both by praying and doing acts of charity.

“Let the memory of God’s mercy sink in without any compulsion to do something. Just relish His mercy and bask in the radiance of His love. During Holy Week, tell God ‘Thank you,’” he said.

Villegas pointed out that fasting is good but means nothing without concern for others.

In the same manner, he stressed that prayer is a must but it is just an “ego trip” if done without remember-

ing others and laying aside personal comfort.

Even almsgiving, he said, if done for show or to get a “feel good” reward later, is reduced to “a noisy bell”.

The prelate also said visiting churches this Holy Week is good practice. But it would be better, he added, if one visits patients in the charity ward of a hospital to bring them food.

“Instead of spilling your blood on the streets, why not walk into a Red Cross office and donate blood?

Choose to share life. Share your blood,” said Villegas, apparently discouraging self-flagellation and crucifixion.

“Must the face look sour and gloomy during Holy Week? Love begins with a smile. Make someone happy this Holy Week. Make someone feel loved. With your smile, show that God is love,” he said.

UPAKKK wants Duterte to put up ‘RevGov’ LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Do not conform any longer to t he p atter ns of this world. Be transformed by the renewing of your minds…” (Romans 12:2, the Holy Bible).

-ooo“ U PA K K K ”, N E W G ROU P T HAT VOWS SUPPORT FOR DU T E RT E : Two ye ars have swiftly gone by since President Duterte became t he und ispute d le ad er of this countr y but his popularity rating amazingly continues to rise, even as more and more Filipinos are coming out in the open to support his noble objectives to make a better Philippines, including his establishment of a revolutionary government and changing our country’s system of government from presidential to federal.

Just a week ago, a big number of members of the PDP Laban, the party that espoused the candidacy of the President in 2016, bolted from its r an k s and, w it h ot he r equally-minded citizens who would like to s ee Duterte continue his programs of change centered on unity, justice, peace and order, and economic prosperity, put up a group they called “UPAKKK”.

According to Mr. Domingo Canero, a former PDP Laban member from Quezon City, UPAKKK (which he now also heads

This is being supported by about 40,000 members of another pro-Duterte group, the Hukbong Federal ng Pilipinas (HFP), which now claims to have a national and worldwide support.

-oooU PA K K K WA N T S DUTERTE TO PUT UP “REVGOV”: The objectives of UPAKKK, Mr. Canero hastened to add, is for it to be established as an umbrella organization of all those who b el i e ve t hat Pre s i d e nt Duterte should form a re volut i onar y gove r nment, similar to the one t h at for m e r Pre s i d e nt Corazon Aquino put up in 1986. During Mrs. Aquino’s initial assumption to the presidency, she established a revolutionary government to firm up the ouster, aided largely by the US, of former President Marcos.

T he s e obj e c t ive s of UPAKKK are anchored on the view of its leaders that only Duterte, at this point, has shown sincerity and faithfulness in finding solutions to the serious and debilitating problems of the Philip-

pi n e s , p ar t i c u l ar ly i l legal drugs and corruption. UPAKKK leaders believe that Duterte is a leader given by God to the country, so the nation can prevail against drugs, criminality, and corruption.

UPAKK also expressed gratitude t hat Duter te was the one proclaimed elected in 2016 even if the former administration, acting in concert with former officials of the Commission on Elections that time, tried hard to cheat him. This is a s i g n , U PA K K K n ote d, that Duterte is guided

by God, including his assumption of unhindered leadership of the country.

“He can only do this if he puts up a revolutionary government,” it said.

3 days, and then came back to life! Only God Himself has the power to create life from death.

So what about other prophets and teachers who came after Jesus with new revelations, teachings and books they claim are also from God? Jesus very strongly warned us that any person who adds another teaching or book to the Bible, Jesus said that man is a liar and His teaching or book of revelation is not true. Because nobody, not even a priest or prophet, can add anymore to the revelation, teaching, and truth of God Himself in the Bible. Jesus warned we should never believe or follow these false prophets and religions, even if they call themselves a Christian church or followers of Jesus Christ.

You may be thinking: “Ok, if Jesus is God and the Only One Who can forgive all my wrongs, so what?

What’s that to me?” Well,

Think A Minute

Think a minute.

Have you ever wondered what the big deal is about Easter and this man Jesus Christ?

Who exactly was He? People who don’t even like Him still agree that Jesus Christ taught and lived the highest standard of love and morality the world has ever known. But what made Him so different from all the other religious teachers and prophets, so that the world’s calendar centers on this one man’s birth?

Remember, Jesus said that He’s the One Who has the authority to forgive people’s wrongs and sins.

Jesus said that He’s the One Who will judge every person in the world when they die.

Jesus even claimed He’s the Lord over death and the Creator of all life. So Who does this man think He is? God? Exactly! And He proved it.

When He gave His innocent, perfect life for the wrongs of mankind, was buried for

Jesus has everything to do with your life—both now and after you die.

What we do with Jesus in our life now decides what He will do with us after we die. You must decide for yourself 1 of 3 choices who Jesus Christ really is: He’s either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord of the world, just who He said and proved He is.

Jesus said and showed that He’s God Himself, the Creator of all life, and Lord over death. That means He’s your and my Judge Who’s the only One Who can forgive and save you from suffering in hell, away from Him forever.

So if you understand that Jesus is God your Maker, just as He said and proved He is, then the smart choice is to obey everything See WHO, page 11

The moment we crossed the border between this country and Hungary, vast expanse of what looks like freshly cultivated fields immediately caught my attention. Winter seemed to have finally come to an end but neither hills nor fields have yet to come alive.

Spring has yet to yield some buds or flower bulbs but considering that snow is no longer visible here, it will not be long when deciduous trees will be green again.

also establishes the automatic adjustment of the threshold every year beginning March 1, 2019 based on the official estimate of the nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of the previous calendar year rounded up to the nearest hundred millions.

“The adjustment stems from various considerations, including the size of actual notifications to date, the country’s economic growth, overall inflation, and efficient use of the Commission’s limited resources,” said PCC Chair Arsenio M. Balisacan.

Wed-Sat, March 28-31, 2018

“The annual adjustment based on nominal GDP growth ensures that the thresholds maintain their real value over time and relative to the size of the economy,” he added.

The PCC will continue to conduct regular monitoring of the M&A notifications and will revisit the threshold level periodically to make sure it is responsive to changes in the markets and the economy.

The thresholds are used to determine if a transaction triggers premerger reporting requirements to the PCC. Under Section 3 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations, parties to a transaction must notify the

Commission if they satisfy two tests: Size of Person and Size of Transaction.

The Size of Person refers to the value of assets or revenues of the Ultimate Parent Entity of at least one of the parties, while Size of Transaction refers to the value of the assets or revenues of the acquired entity.

To date, PCC has received 152 notifications (equivalent to 134 transactions) and approved 125 transactions worth a total of P2.25 Trillion, while others are in different stages of review. Majority of these came from the manufacturing, financial, electricity, real estate and transportation

sectors.

PCC finds it reasonable to increase the initial threshold provided by the Philippine Competition Act and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.

“Adjusting the thresholds requires a delicate balance to make sure that it’s not too low as to create an undue burden on business, and that it’s not too high that transactions with potential anti-competitive effects in the market evade the scope of mandatory antitrust reviews,” Balisacan said.

The new thresholds will be effective fifteen (15) days after its publication today.

The revised thresholds will apply to M&A transactions with definitive agreements executed after the effectiv-

vincial staff members but only announced the drug examination on the day of the supposed meeting.

He said there were still a thousand workers who have not been tested as they were assigned in the province’s government-run hospitals and in various field offices.

Provincial Information Officer Hansel Echavez said the Philippine National Police’s provincial crime laboratory conducted the drug testing.

In a statement, Zubiri said he was glad that out of thousands employees, only four were tested positive for methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as “shabu,” and he hoped that all the others will test

negative. He said he will personally talk to those who tested were positive only after the entire provincial workforce had undergone the drug examination.

Zubiri added the mandatory drug testing among the employees was not a new practice of the local government of Bukidnon, since he introduced it two years ago even before President Rodrigo Duterte has launched his anti-drug campaign. Aside from the drug examination, the Provincial Government has extended help to suspected drug retailers in the province who had come forward and promised to mend their ways.

PH consumer confidence weakens on expected commodity price upticks MANILA -- The Philippine consumers’ confidence dropped to its lowest level in the first quarter of 2018 on expectations of higher prices of goods.

However, monetary officials are confident this will improve in the second quarter as proven in the past surveys.

Result of the central bank’s first quarter Con-

sumer Expectations Survey (CES) for 2018 showed an index of 1.7 percent, down from the previous quarter’s 9.5 percent and year-ago’s 8.7 percent.

Respondents expect prices of basic commodities to rise but Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Assistant Governor Francisco Dakila Jr., in a briefing Monday, said it is hard to pin this to the tax reform since only one of the 5,569 households

nationwide that responded to the survey cited the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law.

“It could be because of the expected higher prices of goods (as a result of the tax reform) but it is still quite early to establish a trend,” he said.

“In the past, respondents cited higher prices as among the reasons for less optimism but the index

Passion matters

See migrate, page 11

By Maricel C. Dolor, T-I Colambugon Elementary School

MDN: Mar 30, 2018

Every generation needs a new introduction to a discipline. Pupils come with diverse experiences and expectations. They need to be approached differently. Children nowadays need to be conditioned to view hard work, diligence and dedication as honorable, as respectable, and in no way a weakness, or something to be ashamed of. They need to be motivated to be learning enthusiasts,

bring out the best in their performance and instill in them the good values and appropriate behavior.

This is the challenge that teachers have to face...

Teaching requires never ending patience and a fountain of understanding for all the members of the community. This is what the pupils needed. A teacher is responsible not only in the academic performance of the pupils but also their holistic development. Teaching is hardwork and it can be emotionally draining.

Yet, the passion to make a difference stop you from throwing up your hands in the air and giving up. Teach-

ers who are passionate about making a difference are more likely to make a difference (John Hattie).

Passion is what drives people to excel despite the inevitable hurdles they face along the way.

They find purpose in their calling – a purpose that drives them to work hard, to learn along the way and to achieve more than they have ever accomplished before. Being passionate to teach affects how students act and how well they do. Seeing younger kids succeeding, makes a teacher extremely happy.

Thus, passion really matter.

Court sends camera store owner to jail for SSS violations

Addressing core sports skills in schools

By SHEILAFE C. BOLINA Teacher II Lala National High School Maranding, Lala, Lanao del Norte

CAN you remember that elated feeling of being part of a team or maybe not making the A-team and then being so determined that you put in the extra hard work to improve to be selected? Can you remember being forced to run around the field five times or doing push-ups for days on end because you thought the PE teacher disliked children

and was trying to make you suffer?

Whether you have good or bad memories related to sport or any physical activity, one thing is for sure. Physical activity promotes not only your health but instills good personal attributes required throughout life.

Team sports boost selfconfidence and self-esteem.

Being part of a team helps

children to find a sense of belonging. It teaches acceptable ways to interact with others and how to be considerate and respectful of teammates. Physical activity promotes agility and coordination. It supports healthy growth of muscles and bones which is critical in schooling years while children are still growing and can help to reduce stress and anxiety levels especially with the highly pressurized society that we find ourselves living in.

A camera store owner was sentenced to imprisonment by the lower court due to non-reporting of employees and non-remittance of contributions to the Social Security System (SSS) in violation of Republic Act 8282 or the Social Security Act of 1997 (SS Law).

SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel F. Dooc said the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City Branch 225 sentenced Rogelio C. Almonina, President of M20 Enterprises, to a maximum of 12 years in prison and ordered him to pay a fine of P10,000.

“Aside from imprisonment, Almonina was also ordered by the lower court to pay the unremitted SSS contributions of his employees from April 2008 to September 2013 amounting to P31,548 plus penalties amounting to P51,824.47 as of July 31, 2015,” said Dooc.

The Academic Performance and Aspirations of Working Students

By MARIE ANN FABRO-COBO Master Teacher 1 Mandangoa Elementary School DepEd-Misamis Oriental, Balingasag North District

Earning a degree, getting a job, buying a house, and raising a family are important steps in life that it has become an integral part of the “Filipino Dream”.

It may not always be that simple but it all starts with education, it changes everyone’s life stories and to those who have difficulty in achieving education will find means to get it like scholarships and working while studying.

Working student’s life is difficult. Those students whose schooling is being sponsored by private

individuals such as relatives, neighbors, teachers, politicians and OFWs who helped school children in their financial needs in school; corporate scholars from MORESCO, General Parent-Teacher Association, World Vision and alumni. It represents the first real challenge to students’ academic motivations and skills. For some students, especially those in traditionally underserved populations, taking a job is not a matter of choice, but necessity. They need to work to save for college or even to supplement family.

Every student has their own aspirations in life, and that is the reason why some students are now working by virtue of aiming those aspirations.

Students have their own aspirations. Now that the number of working students is rising, working students will be queried regarding the questions that answer the problems that working student’s experience.

Wor k i ng s tu d e nt s serves as the consequences in life because of these, students are trying to maintain good performance and would strive hard to be in school and improve their performance.

Dooc added that Almonina’s payable amount to SSS will continue to incur a three percent monthly penalty accruing from July 31, 2015 until fully paid.

Based on the decision, SSS conducted a monitoring of M20 after it had received a letter of complaint from Carlos Claveria, one of its employees. In the complaint, Claveria said that his company did not report him for SSS coverage and did not remit his monthly contributions.

As a standard procedure, SSS issued a billing letter to Almonina, which the latter received on November 26, 2013. After SSS had not received compliance from him, another billing letter was issued in 2014 but it was still not acted upon by Almonina.

His continued noncompliance led the SSS to issue a demand letter against him.

“During the hearing, Almonina waived his right

to present evidence, which will disprove the allegations against him. SSS was able to show that Almonina neglected in his duty to report his employees and pay the corresponding contributions,” said Dooc.

Dooc explained that failure to report employees and nonremittance of SSS premiums are violations of the SS Law, which mandates employers to report their employees for SSS coverage beginning the first day of work and to remit their contributions to the pension fund within 30 days.

“We want to reiterate that employers have the responsibility to report all their employees and to pay their monthly contributions religiously. When employers don’t remit SSS contributions, they are depriving their employees of the benefits that belong to them and SSS won’t tolerate that,” warned Dooc.

Davao City eyed as Muslim-friendly destination DAVAO CITY -- Davao City will become a pilot area for Muslim-friendly destinations in the country, Marilou W. Ampuan, trustee of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (DCCCII), said.

Ampuan told a press briefing on Monday the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will roll out the program in collaboration with the Department of Tourism once the National Halal Standard Scheme is launched during the Halal Week from May 1 to 6 at the Marco Polo Hotel Davao.

As a Muslim-friendly destination, the city can

compete in the global halal market valued at $3 trillion and will be recognized as a new destination for visitors from Islamic countries, she said.

She said they encourage the more than 20 establishments serving non-pork products to acquire accreditation from the six National Commission for Muslim Filipinos-recognized local halal certifiers in the country, to cater to visitors from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

She said they also hope that more investors will put up halal-certified accommodation establishments and venues for meetings, See eyed, page 10

Nurturing intrinsic motivation in students

By JEAN GRAVINO JACINTO Teacher I Cesar N. Abuton Elementary School Molatuhan Bajo, Lopez Jaena, Misamis Occidental

ENABLING students to experience accomplishments and improvement builds their feeling of competence – a powerful intrinsic motivator.

As children come to feel effective in accomplishing something, they are more likely to tr y to replicate that feeling by trying to accomplish more challenging tasks.

Feeling competent can be addictive. Those accomplishments are more meaningful when they are authentic and

feeling competent is itself a meaningful reward, better than a collection of stickers or small trinkets or distributed recognitions like “student of the month” which can lead the majority of students to become resigned to failure despite effort. As adults, we know there is no question that extrinsic outcomes such as bonuses or promotions have instrumental value. But if they are the only definition individuals use to define their competence,

from page 8

those individuals are subject to a great deal of disappointment. These forms of recognition are few and far between and relying on them, as we know from research, likely leads to declines in performance.

This is parallel to students being graded on a curve where their own effort and competence cannot be counted on to get to a desired recognition (A) and to being designated as student of the month in a school year in which only ten children receive that recognition.

Mother Tongue Based as Medium of Instruction in Teaching

By MARIE ANN FABRO-COBO Master Teacher 1 Mandangoa Elementary School DepEd-Misamis Oriental, Balingasag North District

Pupils who have learned to read and write in their first language learn to speak, read, and write in a second language more quickly than those who are taught in a second language or third language first; and in terms of cognitive development and its effects in other academic areas, pupils taught to read and write in their first language acquire such competencies more quickly. The learners should begin their education in their language they understand; it will develop a strong foundation and a motivation to attend

school. In addition, it will develop their cognitive and reasoning skills enabling children to operate in different language starting in the mother tongue transition to Filipino and then English.

The challenges of every educator for the new curriculum being implemented by the Department of Education contribute benefits to the learning of the pupils. It provides long-term benefits like higher self-esteem, greater confidence and high aspirations for schooling and life The mother tongue classrooms allow children to ex-

press themselves, contribute to discuss and develop their intellects as conversations are carried out in a familiar language. Instruction through a language that learners don’t speak has been called because it is analogous to holding learners underwater without teaching them how to swim.

Mother tongue is essential foundation for all learning and thus, it is important that all children use their mother tongue when they enter the school for the first time.

“The choice of the language is a recurrent challenge in the development of quality education.

Ampuan added there are only eight halal-certified establishments in the region but they are in the process of renewing additional 10 establishments, previously identified DOT-halal recipi-

ents in 2016.

Malaysia’s budget airline AirAsia launched on December 21 last year four times a week direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Davao City.

Qatar Airways also announced that it’s planning to make direct flights to the cities of Davao and Cebu and three other destinations

in Southeast Asia between 2018 and 2019.

The six certifiers – National Commission for Muslim Filipinos, Islamic Da’wah Council of the Philippines, Halal Development Institute of the Philippines, Mindanao Halal Authority, Muslim Mindanao Halal Certification Board, Halal International Chambers of

Commerce, and UAE-based PRIME – were given until 2019 to function as such.

“They need to undergo another accreditation process with DTI as the new halal standards scheme takes effect, as provided for in the RA 10817, also known as Philippine Halal Export Development and Promotion Act of 2016,” Ampuan

said.

RA 10817 established the Philippine Halal Export Development and Promotion Board as the policy-making body that sets the overall direction of the halal industry.

Its mandate includes institutionalizing the involvement of Moro organizations and nongovernment organizations through membership

in consultative or advisory bodies, coordination of activities with government agencies concerned with Halal industry development, and participation in regular consultative mechanisms such as public hearings and roundtable discussions.

It formulates, advocates, coordinates, oversees and assesses the implementation of the Philippine Halal Export Development and Promotion Program, among other functions.

The board comprises the DTI secretary as chairperson, NCMF secretary as vice chairperson, and the secretaries of Agriculture, Tourism, Health, Science and Technology, Foreign Affairs, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Mindanao Development Authority, and two Moro representatives to be appointed by the President.

“Uber Eats will run until the end of May, after which Uber delivery and restaurant partners will move to the GrabFood platform,” it added.

Grab has announced that it has taken over Uber’s ridesharing and food delivery businesses in Southeast Asia integrating them into its transportation and financial technology (fintech) platform.

In return, Uber will receive a 27.5% stake in Grab’s shares. Uber’s Southeast Asian operations will continue until April 8, 2018.

For his part, Grab Philippines country head Brian Cu assured that the ridesharing firm will continue to coordinate with various government agencies and stakeholders to further improve the delivery of services to their customers.

“The combined services of Grab and Uber signals a wider network of TNVS drivers and passengers and improved ridesharing services,” Cu said.

“Our partnership with Uber will fuel our drive and passion for a better transport future even more.

We will continue to work and collaborate with the Department of Transportation, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), local government units and other stakeholders to constantly find ways to improve our services,” he added.

Last February, the LTFRB has issued a memorandum setting the common supply base for TNVS units at 66,750.

There are 59,020 accredited TNVS units for both Uber and Grab whose Certificates of Public Convenience were not processed by the LTFRB due to the moratorium on applications last July 2017. (PR)

This year’s celebration which carries the theme, “#ProgresstoSuccess: Babaeng Maykapansanan sa Pagbabago, Manguna at Manindigan Ka” captures the cherished desires of women with disabilities, as a marginalized group, to lead and push for societal reforms geared toward their empowerment and full participation in all aspects of human endeavors.

Ms. Arlene Ababon, Women with Disabilities Association president, in a media forum organized by the Philippine Information Agency on Thursday at Anastacia Pension House, said she is grateful to the government for giving a special day for women with disabilities.

“We are very happy that we are given the opportunity to participate actively and meaningfully in all levels of policy-making and good governance,” she said.

Meanwhile, Social Welfare Officer Florida T. Israel said the city government helps in the promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities by implementing Republic Act No. 10524, “An Act Expanding the Positions Reserved for Persons with Disability, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 7277, as Amended, Otherwise Known as the Magna Carta for Persons with Disability.”

Under the law, all government agencies shall reserve at least 1% of their regular and non-regular positions for PWDs. Israel said the city government employed 10 women with disabilities9 in the different offices of city hall and one at the CSWD. She added that the city government issued identification cards to 787 PWDs composed of 443 men and 334 women.

“The IDs were issued for them to avail privileges and incentives especially 20% discount in the purchase of medicines in all drug stores, among others,” Ababon said.

She expressed confidence that the proclamation will raise public awareness on the situation of women with disabilities and to promote positive attitudes, role models and opportunities for their development. (JDP/ALT/GCC/ PIA9-Zamboanga del Sur)

be one hell of a campaign against drug cartels.

The other item which should shock the Commission on Human Rights and other vociferous critics of President Duterte is the blocking of the notorious UN human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein from speaking before the Security Council. Several member countries backed by Russia and China protested and asserted that human rights issues should not be discussed in the UN body.

He had it coming. He is no different from the ICC prosecutor who prejudges based on pure hearsay.

Vienna is the Mecca of classical music and of architectural marvel. Like Budapest of Hungary, Vienna has restored what had been ravaged by wars. The grand palaces and parliaments were preserved and thousands of tourists and students from various universities in Europe flock to these places where ancient and contemporary histories meet in anachronistic splendor.

There are seven FilipinoAmericans in this Imperial Europe tour. They are ecstatic over the mega-projects which the anticipate will finally happen under the Duterte administration.

I assured them that many of these will be pulsating realities within four years of the Duterte regime.

USA TODAY has a special edition here. There were two items which caught my immediate attention. US President Trump emulating the drug campaigns in the Philippines, Singapore and China. Trump is waging a war against the menace of drugs in America which kills no less than 30,000 victims annually and subjects infants to extreme pain for at least four years after they are born.

This happens as their parents are addicted to either synthetic opioids or chemical drugs that are smuggled through the porous border of USA and Mexico. Trump calls for death penalty on drug traffickers. He says a drug pusher victimizes not a few people and that while that trafficker may not be using guns, he or she murders hundreds just the same.

Trump is alarmed and if he has his way, it will truly

fall within PCC’s notification threshold for acquisitions, mergers and joint ventures.

In his letter-complaint, Judith alleged that the bulk water supply agreement between RVWCI and COWD to which MWIC was subrogated was valued at P1.75 billion, well within the minimum threshold amount of P1 billion to fall within the jurisdiction and authority of the PCC. However, in its letter to the PCC in reply to Judith’s letter-complaint, MWIC maintains that the value of the transaction that was computed based on the actual contribution of the parties is only P140 million, thus the JV project does not fall within the PCA notification requirements.

Under the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Philippine Competition Act (PCA), Rule 4, Section 3 provides: “Parties to a merger or acquisition are required to provide notification when, either the aggregate annual gross revenues in, into or from the Philippines, or value of the assets in the Philippines of the ultimate parent entity of at least one of the acquiring or acquired entities, including that of all entities that the ultimate parent entity controls, directly or indirectly, exceeds P1 billion, and when the value of the transaction exceeds P1 billion as calculated in accordance with the PCA

IRR.” “Rule 4, Section 3(d) of the PCA IRR clarifies that with respect to joint ventures, an acquiring entity shall be subject to the notification requirements if either the aggregate value of the assets that will be combined in the Philippines or contributed into the proposed joint venture exceeds P1 billion; or the gross revenues generated in the Philippines by assets to be combined in the Philippines or contributed into the proposed joint venture exceed P1 billion.

The PCA-IRR also state that the following shall be included in determining the assets of the joint venture,: all assets which any entity contributing to the formation of the joint venture has agreed to transfer, or for which agreements have been secured for the joint venture to obtain at any time, whether or not such entity is subject to the requirements of the PCA; and any amount of credit or obligations of the joint venture which any entity contributing to the formation has agreed to extend or guarantee, at any time.

Thus, neither the assets contributed to, nor the gross revenues generated by the CDO JV Project breaches the P1 billion threshold prescribed by the PCA IRR. MWIC further noted that the P2 billion amount in the law was actually only P1 billion at the time the letter-complaint was filed, but has just been increased to 2-billion this March.

According to a press release posted 05 March 2018 at the PCC’s official website (http://phcc.gov.ph/pccadjusts-thresholds-com pulsory-ma-notifications/) mergers and acquisitions subject to mandatory notification to the PCC must have a transaction value of at least P5 billion and P2 billion depending on the gross revenue of the acquiring party and the value of the transaction, respectively. (PCC Memorandum Circular No. 18-001, dated March 1, 2018.)

Although a joint venture would under normal circumstances be considered

a merger or acquisition (since the parties involved maintain their respective juridical personalities and are only jointly undertaking a project to attain a common end), the PCC said it is still classified as a merger that has to be reported to the PCC “provided the transaction comes within the threshold.”

The PCC considers all parties in the joint venture as an “acquiring entity” obliged to make a notification if the aggregate value of the assets that will be combined or contributed in the proposed joint venture exceeds P2 billion, or the gross revenues generated in the Philippines by assets to be combined in the Philippines or contributed into the proposed joint venture exceed P2 billion.

Consistent with the principle that parties in a joint venture do not lose their respective juridical identities, the valuation of the assets for purposes of determining the application of the notification requirement shall be limited to (a) the properties that the entities involved have agreed to contribute to the joint venture at the time of its signing and in the future, and (b) any amount of credit or obligation of the joint venture that any of the parties has agreed to extend or guarantee at any time.

The P5 billion and P2 billion thresholds earlier mentioned are applicable only for one year from the date of announcement. If any of the requisites is absent or does not meet the valuation criterion, the PCC need not be notified and the contracting parties can proceed with the transaction.

Earlier, the COWD said the complaints of the three councilors are unfounded since the water district remains open to all bulk water suppliers, but only MWIC’s proposal passed the rigorous year-long procurement process conducted under the purview of the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) following guidelines stipulated by the

National Economic and Development Authority (Neda).

Damasco’s statement was in reaction to the arrest of Lodymer Jagos, 29, a resident of Barangay Tagpangi here, by a joint police and PDEA buybust operation in Barangay Carmen on Sunday evening.

Taken from Jagos were sachets of white crystalline substance believed to be shabu.

Police said they have conducted surveillance on Jagos for the past two weeks.

In the statement, Damasco said the RBN management was “deeply saddened by the involvement of one of its volunteer reporters in Cagayan de Oro who was allegedly caught by our authorities in possession of illegal drugs.”

Damasco said is a volunteer reporter of 103.9 Marian Radio, an RBN affiliate station based in this city.

“We would like to clarify that the act committed by Jagos is his personal activity and is not connected in any way with the radio station, the management and the network,” he added.

In an interview, Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) chapter president Tito Monterde said Jagos is not their member and that radio stations should not have allowed non-KBP members to work as reporters or commentators.

In a separate statement, the Cagayan de Oro Press Club (COPC) said Jagos is not its member as it condemns media personalities who violate the law.

“The COPC condemns any illegal act perpetrated by members of the press. As purveyors of truth, justice and peace, we the media community strictly adhere to what is right and just in the exercise of our profession,” said COPC president Ruffy Magbanua.

Meanwhile, city police spokesperson Supt. Mardy Hortillosa said law enforcers are conducting follow-up operation in the hopes of capturing Jagos’ suppliers.

Jagos denied the accusation as he maintained that his name was just dragged.
