BFAR-10 turns over certificate for SAAD projects to Lanao Norte fisherfolk LANAO del Norte -- Fisherfolk in the province received fishery livelihood projects after a certificate of turnover was granted to the provincial local government through Provincial Governor Imelda Quibranza Dimaporo.

Initiated by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-10 through its Lanao del Norte Provincial Field Office, fishermen specifically residing in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs) were granted their own livelihood projects under the agency’s Special Area for Agricultural Development (SAAD) program.

According to Noel Saldajeno, Lanao del Norte Provincial Fisheries Officer, sets of equipment that can help fishermen in their daily living were part of the package brought by the SAAD program.

He also added that this is just the start of the establishment of a relationship between BFAR-10 and the local government.

“The projects were given to all municipalities here in Lanao del Norte. The project comprises field post-harvest facilities, fish cage, fish pen, and fiberglass boat.

Other than that, we also extend technical assistance in order for these facilities to be utilized in its fullest operation. The turnover of these facilities is just the beginning of our partnership

with the local government unit,” Saldajeno said.

“This is an eye-opener for our local chief executives to look into projects that BFAR has already extended to the fisherfolk,” he added.

The SAAD program will last for three years and beneficiaries of this program are aided within the plotted span of time.

Meanwhile, Saldajeno stressed that to sustain the SAAD program beyond the three-year allotted time, the local government units granted with the projects may render financial assistance with the transition to the future execution of the ruling on Mandanas case wherein some functions of the national agencies will be devolved to the local government units.

“Since this is only a threeyear program so after this, the fisherfolk will be going to take off by themselves as BFAR cannot give them assistance anymore… Hopefully, since there is already a Mandana’s rule, the local government will extend their financial assistance to have a sustainable project under the special area for agricultural development,” he said.

With this, Saldajeno appealed to the local government officials to assure the progression of implemented projects through apportioning a budget to cover this.

Sex education begins at home

By EPE M. MACARAYO, Teacher I Bacolod Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

PARENTS, your kids are watching you. Sex education begins at home.

And as a society, we are in the midst of a massive shift in this direction.

School-based sexuality education is crucial, but it is supplementary at best. What happens in the home is vital if we want to see real change.

Talking to children about gender equality and respectful relationships is important. But parents must also show their children what they expect from them by modelling behavior that demonstrates their belief in the right of people of all genders to have safe, pleasurable and respectful sexual encounters.

Parents are perfectly positioned to be front-line sexuality educators.

Positive communication between parents and children greatly helps young people establish individual values and make healthy decisions.

Children want to hear from them.

It is, after all, parents, not teachers, who have regular and long-term contact with children from birth onwards. Parents can influence activities and choices beyond school hours, have the benefit of knowing the needs and developmental stage of their children, and can present information in a way that aligns with their family values and circumstances.

Children take their lead from their parents.

The notion humans can learn through observing others is not new.

He cleared that the said budget was loaned from the World Bank and not a grant.

With this, he urged the local government units along the bay area to submit relevant, timely, and immense project proposals for the development and sustainability of Panguil Bay to efficiently utilize such amount.

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

THAT’S one of the last words of Christ (cfr. Mt 27,46) before he gave up his spirit on the cross. It’s an intriguing statement, considering that Christ is God who can absorb and suffer anything as if in a breeze. Nothing could actually bother or disturb him.

But let’s remember that Christ is also a man. He is God the Son who assumed our human nature precisely to save us. And in saving us, he had to pay for our sins. He bore all our sins and the consequences that go with our sins. He had to do this because he is the very pattern of our humanity. He is also the savior of our humanity that has been damaged by our sin.

And so, his suffering and death are real. They are not just theatrics, something simply staged and contrived. Since Christ is one person with two natures, his suffering and death are not just in his human side. The whole Christ, the whole person of Christ in his divinity and humanity, suffered and died.

If we cannot fully understand that, just leave it at that. It’s a mystery, just as how one person can have

two natures is also a mystery. We are not expected to understand this mystery fully. This is where we have to bow down to what our faith tells and accept what it teaches us.

Truth is, that Christ had to voice out that ‘complaint’ to the Father simply points to one clear fact—that all our sins that he bore are no mean or petty thing. They are truly horrible things that would make even the God-made-man express such pain.

And we cannot deny the most serious gravity of our sinfulness. Even the most saintly among us fall into sin, not only from time to time but all the time. And it’s not just small and simple sins, but rather deadly sins.

Our sinfulness has also become habitual. Many are already obsessed and addicted to sin. Besides, our sinfulness is not anymore simply personal. It has become systemic, structural, inculturated. The situation can be so bad that we can even say that the sense of sin is disappearing. No wonder then that Christ who had to bear all our sins could not help but make that filial ‘complaint’ to his Father.

Roy Cimagala

“Why have you forsaken me,” he said.

But we should neither forget that after that ‘complaint,’ he simply proceeded to do what was expected of him. He went all the way such that he also said, “It is finished.” (Jn 19,30) He said this when after saying, “I thirst,” he was offered in a most malicious way a sponge of sour wine.

The consideration of these complaining words of Christ should motivate us to be more active in resisting sin and to be more willing and generous in our suffering. We should assume the mind of Christ toward suffering whenever we are made to suffer because of our sin and the sin of the others. That way, we would know that our suffering would have a redemptive value.

It should motivate us also to try our best to clean up our environment and our culture of anything that are already sinful or that can be an occasion of sin.

AboitizPower aims for 50:50 balance between RE, thermal portfolios by 2030 ABOITIZ Power Corporation, the largest owner and operator of renewable energy in the Philippines, is aiming to hit a 50:50 balance between its renewable and thermal portfolios by 2030 in support of the global movement for clean energy.

Underpinning this strategy are AboitizPower’s plans to invest in more renewable energy projects, both here and abroad, while selectively building baseload power plants, particularly natural gas-powered, as these are still necessary to support the country’s growing energy needs.

“In the next 10 years, we will further grow our Cleanergy portfolio, both domestically and internationally, in an effort to help build the country’s renewable energy market and contribute to the global renewable energy goals. Last year was a year of plans, but this time around, we’re going to put those plans into action,” AboitizPower AboitizPower’s 59-megawatt peak (mWp) solar power President and Chief Execu- facility in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental tive Officer Emmanuel V.

One of the advantages of COVID-19 vaccination is that, it will help you ready for the virus to attack. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around

you, particularly with those increased risk for severe illness from the virus. It is a safer way to help build protection because getting COVID-19 vaccine may offer some natural protection known as immunity.

It will be an important tool to help stop the spread of the virus, Stopping the phenomena like this requires using all the tools that are available or known as the Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention like wearing of face masks/face shields and practice social distancing.

The Department of Education’s (DepEd) General Santos City division is seeking endorsement from the local government to include two local schools in the proposed pilot implementation of the limited face-to-face classes.

DepEd has identified the Aspang Elementary School and Aspang High School in Barangay San Jose as sites for the test run of the initiative.

They selected the two schools due to their readiness to conduct the limited face-to-face classes.

The area, specifically Purok Aspang in San Jose, has not recorded any confirmed case of the coronavirus virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and the health protocols are already in place on the school

premises.

The schools have enough classrooms to accommodate 15 to 20 learners and have installed support facilities, such as hand washing and sanitation areas.

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

The two schools have about 200 combined learners from Grades 1 to 10 and 12 assigned teachers.

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

Internet, blessing or curse

By PATRICK F. MINERALES TEACHER – I CAMAMAN-AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

TO WELLNESS The internet will nourish us with what we hunger for. If we are interested in science, the algorithms used by YouTube, Facebook and other platforms will suggest more things about science. All resources in a click of your finger tip. However, the internet can also feed us fears — is it a blessing or a curse?

It is important to teach our children to become aware that behind almost everything on the web somebody is being paid, even when we simply look at the ads. This “free” information has a cost somewhere. Sometimes they are not after our money, but want to manipulate us.

Computer algorithms suggest things similar to what we previously viewed. Eventually, our perception of life can become over-filtered, focused.

This can be for good when following your positive interests, but bad if these interests follow fear.

Media channels our interests, as time goes by this can alter our perception of the outside world. We no longer are exposed to the larger reality of everything in society and the universe by just being confined in the web.

If we are fearful, the internet will give us more of the

things we are fearful about.

The recent crisis in America was fueled as people became paranoid and victims of irrational ideas, including conspiracy theories.

Many people, especially if they have low self-esteem, will feel special, at least for awhile, when they think they have discovered a conspiracy that other people don’t know about.

The puppet masters, the troll farmers, the perpetrators, hint about the desired conclusions. They have “pre-seeded” the conclusions. These manipulators point out a meaning for events that fits the propaganda message they are delivering.

In the past, if you had a crazy idea, your family and friends would tell you “It’s a crazy idea” and it would die out.

However now, you can connect with billions on the internet and you can easily find somebody who is even crazier than you. People can create their own alternative world and join crazy clubs, and go on a conspiracy adventure not that much different than playing a fantasy game.

The internet can be very deceitful. Always verify the truthfulness of any information before sharing it. As they say “think before you click”.

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

By FELICITA R. CABUNOC Teacher I- Tablon Elementary School

Asynchronous learning is opposite to synchronous learning wherein teachers and learners will undergo teaching-learning process at the same time or in the same place. COVID 19 Pandemic changes the mode of delivering education in the Philippines most especially in the public schools Asynchronous was introduced to cater the distance learning of our learners. Teachers will upload video lessons, introduce lessons on different online platform for the learners to browse and learn at their own pace and time.

Learners may review or fast tract their lessons before submitting. Learners have the opportunity to look for other learning resources to aide the instruction given.

Asynchronous has lots of advantages of advantages as mentioned above, but it has also its disadvantages.

With this kind of learning, learners will experience lim-

ited access to their teacher’s personally. They may also experience limited feed backing mechanisms which some learners need it in guiding their progress. The present economic condition of our country, our public school learners have limited access to the internet or gadgets to use during distance learning.

Our government are finding ways to address this gap.

In asynchronous, teachers will serve as a dispenser of knowledge with multiple task to perform. They will serve as instructional-designer which is learner-centered. They will facilitate the learning process with full of challenges in delivering education during this pandemic time. Teachers are positive that they can overcome this with the support of all stakeholders in the school. For them, challenges were accepted. Thoroughly teachers can make a difference for the glory of the Filipino people and God in general.

MANILA, 29 March 2021 – While traveling during these times in the Philippines may be limited to essential travelers, for AirAsia, there is no room for complacency especially when it comes to safety.

In view of the current situation in the country, AirAsia recognizes the need to further reiterate the value of readiness and safety among all our guests and employees.

As a gesture of reminder, guests traveling on Monday to various AirAsia domestic destinations for the Holy

Week were handed with AirAsia’s #AlwaysREDy care kits.

The #AlwaysREDy care kit includes Lifebuoy hand sanitizers, antibacterial wipes, surgical face masks, and pens which could come handy for their flight. It also contains a simple note which reminds our guests to always practice proper hygiene, not just during the flight, but as part of their daily life.

AirAsia Spokesperson Steve Dailisan said, “Readiness is more than just being prepared for the flight. For AirAsia, readiness is also a state of mind that speaks of willingness to learn and cope fast to form a healthy habit.

What we want is for our guests to adapt the culture See SENDS, page 11

The Importance of Classroom Innovation

By JENETTE S. SALAZAR Teacher I Patag ES, Opol District, Division of Misamis Oriental

The word innovation is something we often hear in the world of technology. What is innovation? It is like upgrading, developing something for the benefit of many people. Innovation in education is very much needed as the learners’ learning styles also evolved.

The strategy yesterday might not be applicable tomorrow.

These scenarios are very common in the classroom. And so, the teachers must develop something to address the existing problems for the improvement and benefits of the learners. It is very important for the teachers to document the innovation she/he made so that it can be shared to others, because it might help other teachers solve their problems. This is all for the benefit of our school children.

In this new normal, the problems of the teachers to-

AirAsia sends off essential travelers this Holy Week with #AlwaysREDy care kits

wards the learning of the students continue, and so, to help alleviate the existing problems, innovation can aid or address the problems.

Innovation plays a vital role in the success of our learners and at the same time it will help improve the quality of education. As we face different challenges in this new normal, teachers can make different innovations to address the possible gaps that may exist in the learning of the students, now that they are using selflearning modules.

Innovation will be one of the biggest tools that we, teachers, can use as we battle different learning gaps that may exist in this new learning modality. We can still provide quality education despite the hardships that we are currently facing. In the end, we will succeed. Education will continue to soar higher!

Life of a Teacher in Remote Areas

By ANJENNETH A. PALTINGCA Teacher I Bagocboc Elementary School Opol district

It is essential to attract, recruit and retain quality teachers in rural and remote schools for provision of quality education to rural and remote students. Rural and remote schools experience persistent difficulties in recruiting and retaining teachers. In times and places of persistent teacher shortages, teacher quality of worklife issues are paramount. Factors impacting on teacher quality of worklife may impact on teacher retention, staffing levels and ultimately the quality of education for children.

Protective factors can be enhanced and risk factors reduced. The education of rural children has been recognized as a significant equity issue. Proposals to address this problem include selection procedures to

match teachers to school and community characteristics, improved pay and conditions for teachers and school executives, staffing practices to reduce numbers of young teachers appointed to rural schools, specific pre-service preparation of rural teachers, improved induction, partnerships with rural communities, increased resources for professional development, improved housing and improved information about rural teaching.

Moreover, seven priorities are identified – access to participation in education and training for students to achieve potential, meeting the needs of students at risk, recognition and support of cultural diversity, enhancement of the value of education and appropriate resourcing.

Dinagat Islands town to receive P10-M fund for infra projects MANILA - The municipality of Loreto in Dinagat Islands province will be receiving P10 million worth of funds for infra projects, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar bared on Wednesday, two days after meeting the town’s local chief executive, Mayor Doandre Bill Ladaga.

Secretary Andanar was in Loreto on March 22 for the conduct of the Explain, Explain, Explain information drive on the National COVID-19 Vaccination Roadmap.

According to Secretary Andanar, the PCOO was able to reach out to the Office of Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, who swiftly responded and pledged to help establish a Malasakit Center in the town. This is apart from the P10 million funding for infrastructure and improvement of Loreto’s road networks.

Mayor Ladaga sat as guest for a taped interview of an episode of PCOO’s Network Briefing News, where he sought the assistance of the national government for projects that can enhance economic opportunities there, apart from his invitation to investors to invest in the town’s tourism potential.

“Kami po ay nag-e-encourage ng mga investors na sana po ay mayroon nang magkalakas ng loob na mag-invest sa atin dito para

mai-upgrade natin man lang ‘yung ating mga transportation natin para sa ganun, mas lalong ma-attract din ‘yung mga tourists na pumunta sa lugar natin [We are encouraging investors to take a chance and invest here so we can upgrade our services in transportation, and attract tourists to come here],” he said.

According to Mayor Ladaga, the local government is preparing the town, which is located at the northern tip of the province, as another tourist destination in Region 13, with the start of construction of accommodation facilities in anticipation of the increased number of arriving tourists.

“Ang pinaghahandaan talaga namin ay ‘yung pagbangon ng economic side natin, kung papano ‘yung mga tao ay kumita muli [What we are preparing for is the recovery of our economy, and how the people will start earning again],” he said.

“Alam ko sa pamamagi-

tan ng tourism, malaki-laki po itong maitutulong. Kaya kami po ay nananawagan sa national government, kasama na rin po ang provincial government, na matulungan kami na mabigyan ng mga proyekto lalo na ‘yung mga access roads natin going to tourist destinations [I know that tourism can help a lot.

That is why we call on the national government, as well as the provincial government, to help us by providing projects, especially access roads going to tourist destinations],” he added.

The municipality prides itself as the home of the Mount Redondo Natural Bonsai Forest, which has identified species of bonsai trees.

“Today, we are starting to revert to a sense of normalcy.

The economy is opening up and businesses are starting to operate once again. Streets are filling up with cars and commuters, all trying to go about and recover from the effects of the pandemic. In short, mother earth’s reprieve is about to end. However, that doesn’t need to be the case,” he said.

focus on solar, wind, and hydro.

AboitizPower recently completed the commissioning of two wind met masts in Pangasinan and targets to start construction on a 50-MW solar project in Luzon within the second half of 2021.

In addition to 815 MW of service contracts already secured and in various phases of development, AboitizPower’s team dedicated to RE is also identifying and evaluating additional pipeline projects, most of which are based in Luzon. Current activities are focused on permitting, feasibility studies, and tendering.

“This transition is not easy, but is definitely achievable. It is possible with the private sector and the government working together to ensure that the country’s renewable energy supply is more sustainable,” Rubio added.

AboitizPower is no stranger

to the renewable energy space as it was among the pioneers of RE in the Philippines, having had its first Cleanergy facilities operated

by Hedcor as early as the 1970s.

Hedcor, which formerly stood for Hydro Electric Development Corporation, simply became known as Hedcor, Inc. after a de facto merger between Northern Mini Hydro Corporation and HEDCOR with Benguet Hydro Corporation.

AboitizPower, together with its partners, has since invested in other renewable energy projects such as geothermal, large hydro, and solar energy facilities across the Philippines.

AboitizPower is committed to supporting the government’s thrust to promote renewable energy in the country and its growth aspirations over the years, as well as backing the global movement for clean energy. Through this transition, the power company looks forward to driving change for a more sustainable future for the country.

Under the CARS program, participating carmakers have six years to comply with the minimum volume target sales of 200,000 units each for their enrolled car models for them to get their incentives.

Toyota enrolled its Vios model and Mitsubishi listed Mirage under the CARS program.

Signed in 2015, CARS program is set to expire this year.

“We, of course, do understand the challenging unforeseen circumstances including the impact of the pandemic on the automotive demand,” Rodolfo said.

He added that the government does not need to come up with a new budget even with the extension of the CARS program, as the program was crafted with notional budget, under automatic appropriations of the General Appropriations Act. Rodolfo said participating carmakers have not yet received any of the fiscal incentives from the government.

Toyota and Mitsubishi can still enroll their investments for the modification of Vios and Mirage as long as they have not yet reached the budgeted fixed investment support for the enrolled car models, the trade executive added. (PNA)

The wife of MP Sultan Rimbang Al-Haj Princess Rohaniah Sharief Emboloto Delna Rimbang incumbent Bae a Labi sa Poona a Tugaya, a Maranao claim that she is a relative of PRRD. Per information gathered by the Manila Times, Mindanao leaders including national and local government officials went to Davao City to extend their birthday greetings to President Duterte.

Meanwhile, a member of the Maranao royalty Atty Saidmen B. Pangarungan, a former Lanao del Sur governor and now head of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) confirmed also that President Duterte has a Maranao blood based on salsila In a Facebook post titled “PRRD”: The Maranao Pride, the NCMF Secretary cited literatures written by Professors Asangan T. Madale, Dr. Ben Kadil and Helen O Kadil that traced in the Bangsamoro “salsila” (genealogy) the President’s lineage to his great ancestor Datu Samporna, a Maranao nobleman of Momungan (now) Baloi, Lanao del Norte.

Pangarungan said the three professors narrated that at age 21 ,Datu Samporna went to Iligan and sailed towards “Cagaayahan” (now Cagayan de Oro city.

It was in “Cagaayahan” that Samporna raised his family in 1622. Pangarungan said Samporna “replaced Datu Salangsang, as the new ruler of Cagayahan (and) was offered marriages to princesses-daughters of prominent families-and begot generations of prominent decendants in Mindanao and the Visayas, namely Neri Roa, Fernandez, Chaves, Velez, Rivera Bautista, San Jose, Rodriquez, Gaerlan, Emano, Pelaez, Fernan, Badelles and Cabili, among others.

Pangarungan said when the

Mon-Tue, March 29-30, 2021 Spaniards arrived in the 17th century and when Recoletos missionary priest Fr. Pedro de Santa Barbara officiated mass, many of the Samporna families were Christianized and were given name “Neri.

However, some of Samporna’s descendants moved to Boroon, Wato, Tugaya and Ganassi in Lanao and retained their Islamic faith” he added.

The Spaniards eventually translated Cagaayahan into Cagayan de Oro The three professors claimed that Eleno Samporna Neri Roa got married to Fortuna Gonzales. and begot Soledad “Soleng” Samporna Neri Roa, a public school teacher, and civic leader.

They said “Soledad” got married to Vicente Duterte, then governor of Davao province, and they were blessed with five children bearing the surname Roa Duterte: Eleanor Jocelyn, Don, Benjamin, and Rodrigo.

Pangarungan said that more than the genealogy, “President Duterte has shown his love and compassion not only for the Maranaos but for the whole Bangsamoro.

The NCMF chief noted that the Dutertes (Rody and Sara), have always made sure that there are Davao City deputy mayors to represent Maranaos, Tausogs, Maguindanaons and other Muslim tribes.

Pangarungan pointed out that under the Duterte’s administraton, Davao City regularly celebrates the two Muslim holidays of Eidl Fitr and Eidl Adha during which they gave a sack of rice and groceries to all households in the city, an indiction Moro blood is in his veins.

The NCMF chief said even before he became President Duterte has repeatedly told him that he will address the historical injustices against Moros in Mindanao.

It was noted by Pangarungan that during the campaigned for Duterte and in Lanao provinces, winning by landslide margins, despite that the Liberal Party under Mar Roxas tried their best to win in the Presidential election race in these provinces, but they failed.

share goes to the city; 50-percent to the barangay where the sand and gravel and other quarry resources are located, and 10-percent to the Cagayan de Oro Development Authority (CORDA).

Pursuant to Article 239 of the IRR of the Local Government code, the city should get 60-percent of the share and the barangay, 40-percent.

In its recommendation, the Local Finance Committee (LFC) cited that it is a fundamental principle that city ordinances are inferior in status and subordinate to the laws of the state, hence, there is an implied restriction that ordinances shall be consistent with the general law and that their enactments must be consistent with those of the national legislature.

The ordinance was reviewed and endorsed by the committee on ways and means and on laws and rules chaired by Councilor George Goking and Ian Mark Nacaya, respectively. (SP)

Covid-19 pandemic is reshaping education

By MANUEL LINCARO

The Covid-19 Pandemic caused upsets in almost every aspect of education at once. It was not just the move from classrooms to computer screens. It opened new strategies and policies on school instruction, attendance, testing, funding, the role of technology and the human connections.

Opportunities unfolded to reimagine what schools will look like. However scholars say that it is always important to continue to think about how to evolve schooling so the students get the most out of it.

Others in education see a similar opening. The pandemic pointed anew to glaring inequities of race, disability and income. Learning loss is getting new attention.

Schools with poor ventilation systems are being upgraded.

Teachers induced into teaching virtually found lessons that will last longer.

There are a lot of posibilities that will happen because we’ve been forced into this uncomfortable situation. The reality is that this is going to change education forever.

After a year when some systems did nothing but teach by computer screen, it has become clear that learning virtually has a place in the nation’s schools as an option.

Some education experts suggest that remote learning is for everyone. The pandemic showed, unmistakably, that most students learn best in person — in a three-dimensional world, led by a teacher, surrounded by classmates and activities.

But school systems across the global community are looking at remote learning as a way to meet diverse needs — for teenagers who have jobs, children with certain medical conditions,

or kids who prefer learning virtually.

It has also emerged as a way to expand access to lesscommon courses. Students would regularly interact with teachers and have mostly live instruction..

To make it work, some of the teachers would only be remote. Parent interest was one impetus for the program. But the pandemic has helped us see that it is possible and can be done.

Remote learning is a supplement, not a substitute, for in-school instruction.

Classroom learning is best for most students and that virtual school can mean intense isolation.

Staring at a screen all day is not optimal. Zoom fatigue is real, said one expert.

The quality of remote learning varied widely, with parents complaining about the lack of live instruction and individual attention as well as technical difficulties.

Even many families who want remote learning to continue want the modules improved.

Virtual classes also led to spike in failing grades for the most vulnerable students in some areas, including English language learners. Across the country an unprecedented number of students have gone off the computer screens as schools try to track them down.

Parents commented that while remote education has worked for some families, most kids have struggled — and the toll on mental health and social well-being is now very apparent. Any program,t he said, should be efficiently operated by the government, with a dedicated budget so “the needs of virtual learning don’t interfere with in-person learning, and vice versa.”

First time home buying tips at a glance

2-day real estate online conference gave inspiring tips and recommendations Last weekend Arch. Romolo Nati, Chairman and CEO of Italpinas Development Corporation (IDC) had the opportunity to talk about the various aspects that make IDC’s developments different from others. In this 2-day real estate online conference hosted by TGFI he explained how the company is using very distinct

passive green design features, integration begins during the conceptualization process and is then developed into the design, construction, and building maintenance.

The process is created using performance-based design strategies that make use of parametric and generative architectural software that analyze the existing data of natural weather conditions of the site location, optimizing the use of natural elements

to shape the design of the building—the same “thinking model” used by nature.

The use of passive green features such as increased natural ventilation and shaded facades, together with the production of renewable energy through the use of photovoltaic panels and water recycling, make it possible to deliver to the end-user greater comfort and a lighter energy and water consumption without a substantial cost increase.

Architect Nati added that these passive green design features, contrary to common belief, are not making the construction more expensive because these are inspired by nature and not by the use of technology which is the costly element in modern “green” building.

His feature bore the title “Going beyond green: future proofing the real estate market” and underlined the importance of keeping sustainability in

mind when planning and building any development.

Projects like Primavera Residences, Primavera City in Cagayan de Oro and Miramonti in Sto Tomas, Batangas are already a landmark on their own fully reflecting the ‘green’ philosophy of IDC. The event title was “building and investing in your first home” and featured about 20 very prominent speakers discussing what happens when buying a home. Many

very interesting insights were given on the steps and processes of buying a home: from the financial wisdom of the decision itself, the personal finance options available to potential buyers, the potential locations to consider, tips on how to maximize and organize interior spaces, the potential issues with titles and intricacies of sales contracts as well as the ever haunting taxation aspects.

Among others, Pag-Ibig were able to illustrate their forthcoming financing options, Filipino Homes’ founder Anthony Leuterio explained the fast and nationwide rise of their company, Lamudi’s country CEO Kenneth Stern gave an insight on the statistics and data of website visitor’s search behavior, other speakers of the event like real estate authority Alejandro Manalac was very exhaustive on what you need to know when building a home and how his company helps landowners and foreign developers to handle the development and construction process.

Ultimately viewers were able to take away a great set of wisdom, recommendations and advice about real estate buying in the Philippines with the added value of receiving this information directly from the nobility of the industry.
