NYC kicks off psychosocial intervention for Marawi IDPs

MARAWI CITY -- Around 30 young registered nurses here were tasked by the National Youth Commission (NYC) to conduct four-month mental health and psychosocial intervention for the internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the evacuation centers and transitory sites.

The nurses, who are also residents of Marawi City, underwent a three-day training workshop and simulation drill in Cagayan de Oro City last month under the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) Mental Health and Psychosocial Services (MHPSS) being implemented by NYC in partnership with the Department of Health (DOH)-10, Marawi City Health MHPSS nurses and NYC staff on a courtesy call with Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra.

In his first day working in the field, Muhammad Ibrahim explained the importance of MHPSS to Marawi IDPs. “We have experienced a calamity. There are siege victims who were affected mentally and emotionally. The important thing is they can voice out their sentiments to us and release their tensions,” Ibrahim said.

For Ibrahim, who was assigned at Area 6 of Sagonsongan Transitory Site, he feels it very fulfilling to serve his fellow Meranaos and to contribute to the continuous recovery of Marawi.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- Life has never been easy for the family of Evelyn Caballero, 42 of Villamor Compound, Balulang here.

But, the perseverance of Evelyn and her family brought here to live out of poverty.

Three years ago, Evelyn

Caballero proudly marched onstage along with her husband and daughters during the graduation ceremony at the Philippine Institute of Skills and Development (PISAD).

Evelyn finished the Beauty Care Course of PISAD and passed the National

Feature

Certificate II accreditation by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

Evelyn was among the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries who participated in the skills training in November 2014 until April 2015

The six-month training includes skills assessment and certification as well as entrepreneurship development activities. It has two components: training for wage employment and training for self-employment.

(DSWD) through its Sustainable Livelihood Program has partnered with PISAD and TESDA in providing skills training to beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilya.

Pantawid Pamilya is only one of the poverty reduction strategies of the national government implemented by the DSWD which focuses on human capital investment through provision of health and education cash grants to eligible households with children aged 0-18, with the primary aim to break the intergenerational poverty cycle.

Re-opening her parlor Even if Evelyn has a TESDA accreditation and is eligible to work abroad, she has no plans of leaving.

She is determined to stay in the country to guide her children during their formative years.

Inste ad of working abroad, she has her heart set on rebuilding her parlor which was destroyed

by Typhoon Sendong in December 2011.

Through her quality and affordable services, Evelyn maintains good number of customers daily. Because of this, Evelyn’s income from operating a beauty parlor becomes a big income grosser to the family’s coffer. She can easily pay the P6,000 rent a month for her parlor.

Her aimed to provide a better life for her family, especially for the education of her three children became a reality. Her eldest, Christine Mae is now working the Department of Social Welfare and Development

(DSWD) Field Office 10 as a Municipal Link assigned in Maramag, Bukidnon.

Her middle child is now a first year college at Lourdes College here, taking up Bachelor of Science in Social Work while her youngest, Leizl is a Grade 7 student of Balulang National High School.

“Nakatulong talaga ang technical-vocational training na ito sa akin at sa iba pang mga kababayan natin na dati ay hindi nabibigyan na oportunidad para mapaginhawa ang buhay. Ngayon na-eenjoy naming mahihirap ang mga tulong na ito (The training has helped me and our countrymen who were previously not given opportunities like this to improve our lives.

But, now, Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries are reaping the benefits of government programs),” Evelyn stated.

Taxi operators Evelyn’s husband, Silvestre, 43, used to drive a passenger jeepney. The meager income from driving could barely make him money. So, he decided to drive a taxi.

After a few months of driving a taxi, Silvestre could hardly sustain the needs of his family, if not without the augmentation of Evelyn’s income from their parlor.

Until the owner of Silvestre’s taxi introduced him a rent-to-own scheme. This was the beginning of Silvestre’s brighter future in the taxi industry.

Now, the family owns two units of taxi and they are See EXIT, page 11

How to crash your career

THINK a minute.

It can take years to find the right job and career, but only days to lose it! Here are some negative character traits and attitudes that can crash your career and take away your job security and ability to provide for our family.

The #1 way to ruin your career is to have poor people skills. Most people prefer to work with someone who is less-skilled but kind and enjoyable to work with—rather than be stuck working every day with a highly-skilled “jerk.”

A second way to crash your career is to work only for yourself and your ad-

vantage rather than being a team player. Don’t keep trying to outshine your fellow workers, or simply use them to climb higher in your company. Instead, try to help your boss and fellow workers do well also. Remember, this will also build your network of friendships, as well as a happier environment and experience every day.

A third way to ruin your job security and future is not to be reliable and responsible. My friend’s father taught him: “Son, always work hard and do your best so you are worth your wages and your boss does not want to lose you.” Ask yourself: “If I was my boss, should I trust me

as a loyal, productive and honest worker?”

A fourth way you can ruin your career is to have no goals. You will not have a career to crash if you do not even want to get it off the ground! If you have no purpose or passion for your work, you will have to endure your unhappy career every day of your life.

A fifth and final way to hurt your successful career is if you are afraid of risk or failure. Remember, “The greatest risk is never taking one.” If you do not believe in yourself, no one else will!

Instead of saying, “I’ve never done that,” say, “I can learn how.” Always look for the

As a Balik-Islam, I have entrusted everything to ALLAH SWT. For HE is the Best Planner. And HIS is the Best of Plans.

Such that when I first received SMS from OPAPP (Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process) and submitted my notarized PDS, my prayer to my RABB is to keep me in HIS Guidance and Protection. And HIS Will be done. That if my inclusion will be for the good of the greater majority, and will strengthen my eeman, then I will serve. But, if it will not strengthen my eeman, and will destroy me, I pray that HE keeps it away from me.

It is an honor to be nominated and reached that far for someone/somebody has recognized my contribution.

With all humility, I thank them.

Compared to all other nominees, I am a nobody, thus, I remained grounded.

I WOULD like to request the person responsible to the alleged “mistake” committed to have the decency to officially write me directly as when I was requested to submit my notarized PDS (personal data sheet) for my nomination to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA), there were personalities who contacted and called me.

I am not from a powerful family, not from a political clan, but I have my principle and dignity to protect, that of my children and the basic sectors I have been working with all these years.

Hindi po ako nag-apply.

Hindi ko po pinangarap na mag-apply dahil alam ko na ang katulad kong maliit na tao na galing sa laylayan ng lipunan ay walang puwang sa mundo ng mga may kapangyarihan, may mga pera at koneksyon.

Kaya ako po ay nagpasalamat sa nag-nominate sa akin at sa tiwalang ibinigay na ang isang solong nanay na katulad ko ay nakita niyang may kakayanan na maisama

NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental -- President Duterte announced recently that the Colombian drug cartels are already in the country.

This is apparently evidenced by the several bricks of cocaine found drifting in the archipelago’s eastern seaboard – from Quezon province down to Siargao and Davao coast.

If true, what could have motivated the Colombian drug cartels to expand their business in the Philippines?

Well, they are probably aware that the drug distributed in the Philippines is mostly methamphetamine or shabu, the poor man’s

drug. They might have thought that the market for the rich users is still untapped. Cocaine is dubbed as a rich man’s drug. So it is here.

But it is still a wonder why the Colombians would sally here when PRRD has a dreadful war on drug.

Well, they are probably convinced that the war is only menacing to the poor users and pushers but is ineffectual, if not kind, to drug lords. They are obviously informed that drug users and street dealers are summarily liquidated without qualms but drug lords have remain scot-free. Not

When I was told by fellow nominees that they received information that their nominations were denied, I readied myself to remove my native attire.

Then I received the message to proceed to Malacanang.

Inside the (Rizal) Hall, I was asked my name and was ushered to a chair with my name in it.

ARLENE N. SEVILLA BTA I was given the program and the laminated Oath of Office given to all other BTA appointees to read during the oath-taking.

We had a rehearsal for the photo ops. I am with the third batch. The protocol officer told us the place where he is standing is President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s (PRRD’s) place and I am to stand on his left side and will have to exit at his back.

I received the SMS to the

a single high profile drug lord or identified military protector has been put to death or at least jailed in the 3 year old drug war. The situation, thus, is inviting and encouraging. So here the cartels come.

Yet the drifting cocaine bricks remain a puzzle. They are clearly intended to be seen, to be recovered. What could be the raison d’etre?

Is it not a godfather kind of intimidation to the authorities? That they are coming, if not have already, indeed, come. That they should be left alone; otherwise a real shooting drug war would ensue, like what they have

in Latin America.

The situation is a little scary. The drug cartels are more powerful and fearsome than oil cartels because they are known to maintain commando gangsters and infiltrators that could undermine the peace and stability of a host country.

Cartel gunmen often attack state security forces to pressure governments to back off from their trade.

Royal Cargo elevates cranage servicing in the country MANILA, Philippines – For almost 40 years now, Royal Cargo has been providing specialized lifting, transport and other logistical handling services across the Philippines, setting the standard for worldclass cargo solutions and services with its top-notch equipment and team of experts.

Recognizing that each job is unique and requires a different strategy, the leading logistics service provider ensures that it not only covers every phase of a project but also, and more importantly, stays flexible yet calculated in addressing the needs of its clientele.

“We take pride in our growing portfolio of crane and lifting services. We have expanded and improved our work by taking on tasks with specialized requirements, enabling us to provide customized service that meets the diverse needs of our clients,” shared Royal Cargo President Elmer Francisco Sarmiento.

One of Royal Cargo’s range of services is heavy lifting, which proved highly useful when the Xiamen Air Boeing 737-800 skidded off the runway of the

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in August 2018. Despite heavy rains, Royal Cargo’s Crane and Erection team successfully lifted and transported the 48-ton, 129-foot passenger aircraft out of the runway.

This feat was acknowledged by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), which entrusted Royal Cargo to be its emergency responder and contractor for handling aircraft recovery.

The partnership was signed last January 7.

Besides construction and emergency heavy lifting, Royal Cargo handles specialized lifting requirements such as the Solaire Resort and Casino’s luxury dining experience Dinner in the Sky. The project required lifting diners and waiting staff 150 feet in the air to let customers enjoy scrumptious meals while reveling in an exclusive, breathtaking view of the city.

“We do specialized lifts, be they heavy or event lifts, to suit client needs. In this line of business, it is necessary to be flexible and innovative at the same time.

What is constant for us is to deliver on the promise of moving people and goods

New DBP prexy vows to sustain bank’s developmental initiatives

STATE-owned Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) will sustain its development banking initiatives particularly in the government’s flagship “Build, Build, Build!” infrastructure program, according to its newly-appointed president and chief executive officer Emmanuel G. Herbosa.

Herbosa said that under his watch, DBP will continue to intensify its drive to promote financial inclusion especially in unbanked and underserved areas of the country while improving on the current service infrastructure of the 72-year old bank.

“It is my hope that through these programs, DBP will remain a relevant and responsive partner of the National Government in promoting inclusive growth particularly in the countryside,” Herbosa said.

A US-trained banker, Herbosa has extensive experience in corporate banking, consumer banking, branch, and overseas banking. Prior to his appointment to the DBP, he was formerly president and chief executive officer of the Philippine Guarantee Corporation.

Herbosa also held leadership positions with the Bank of the Philippine Islands and See VOWS, page 10

H E A D L I N E i n f l at i o n slowed down to 3.8 percent year-on-year in February 2019 from 4.4 percent in the previous month. The resulting year-to-date average of 4.1 percent is slightly higher than the Government’s inflation target range of 3.0 percent ± 1.0 percentage point for the year. Core inflation—which excludes selected volatile food and energy items to measure underlying price pressures—has also decelerated, to 3.9 percent in February from 4.4 percent in January. Month-on-month seasonally-adjusted headline inflation was unchanged at 0.1 percent in February 2019 compared to the previous month’s level.

The slowdown in inflation for February 2019 was attributed mainly to slower price increases in both food and non-food items. Year-on-year food inflation continued to moderate due to the lower inflation rates of most key food items, including rice, meat, fruits, and vegetables. Corn price also declined relative to year-ago level. Likewise, non-food inflation eased as the inflation rates of large-weighted components slowed down, such as housing rentals, water supply and other services relating to dwelling, transport services, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez (left) swears in new DBP president and chief executive officer Emmanuel G. and restaurants.

Palace assures bigger budget for DA

By LILYBETH ISON

MANILA -- Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel “Manny” Piñol said Malacañang has assured that it is willing to give the Department of Agriculture (DA) extra funding that it needs in order to enhance farmers’ output and in turn, increase the country’s food productivity.

During a full Cabinet meeting Monday evening, he said, President Rodrigo Duterte asked him to submit a budget proposal “10 times bigger” than what it has now.

“Tell me how much you need and I will ask Sonny (Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez) to give you the money,” the President told Piñol during the Cabinet meeting which lasted until 12 midnight, which the DA chief divulged in his Facebook page.

According to Piñol, the President emphasized the need for bigger support to agriculture, noting that

the country’s population is increasing by about two million every year.

“Make use of every available area to grow food. You know how to do that,” he quoted President Duterte.

The President also said that there should be greater focus on agricultural infrastructure and asked the concerned departments to revisit the Roll-On, RollOff Program (RoRo) of former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The RoRo Program involved the establishment of ports which were interconnected by a virtual sea highway using fast crafts and ferry.

The President also asked DA to focus on the farmto-market food chain to ensure that farmers and fishermen are able to sell their produce at a fair price.

In 2018, the National Food and Agricultural Council (NFAC) endorsed a budget of over PHP120 billion but the DA only

got PHP49 billion which, added to the budget of newly transferred agencies like the National Food Authority (NFA), Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), and the Fertilizer and Pesticides

Authority, totaled PHP86 billion.

The PHP86 billion includes the unprogrammed funds of PHP10 billion for the Rice Competitiveness See ASSURES, page 10

During Sunday’s opening of the weeklong twin celebrations, Uy noted that the province was named as the second most competitive province in 2018.

He added that the province’s tourism industry is also growing and huge industries and corporations have started coming in, leading to more jobs and revenue for the provincial

government.

According to Uy, Compostela Valley is not only rich in gold but its “true wealth is the people, successes, natural resources, and culture.”

Uy said this year’s Bulawan Festival is special because the province is also welcoming its new name -Davao de Oro, which will be submitted to residents in a plebiscite.

“Kung madaog kita sa plebisito, kini na ang ulahing Bulawan Festival na kita tawagong Compostela Valley (If we win in the plebiscite, this will be the

DAVAO CITY -- Close to 500 suspected drug personalities were either arrested or neutralized in buy-bust operations around Region 11 (Davao Region) since January this year.

A report from the Police Regional Office-11 (PRO11) showed that 16 drug personalities have been neutralized while 429 others were arrested in buy-bust operations since January.

Police Major Jason Baria, PRO-11 spokesperson, said a total of 291 operations resulted in the arrest of 429 persons. Of the number, 27 were in the police anti-drug watch-list.

Baria said 16 drug personalities were also killed after they fought it out with the operatives during the operation.

Sta Ana Lighted Garden Park eyed to become a permanent attraction

DAVAO CITY -- The City Tourism Operations Office is eyeing to make the Light Garden Park at the Santa Ana wharf here in Davao City, a permanent attraction.

“We hope that it would be a permanent structure there because what we are going to do, is to put climbing plants like vines and ferns so that eventually the structures would resemble

trees,” City Tourism chief Generose Tecson said.

The Sta. Ana Lighted Garden which was launched last week of February and would end of March in the occasion of the 82nd

Araw ng Dabaw consists of a 30-meter lighted tunnel and several palm-shaped lighted structures. There are food stalls and performing bands for the visiting public.

DAVAO CITY -- An official of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has called on village executives in Mindanao to help advocate the passage of a proposed law that gives them more benefits.

DILG Undersecretary for Barangay Affairs Martin Diño pointed out that the proposed Magna Carta for Barangays authored by former senator Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel Jr. has

languished since it was filed in the 14th Congress.

“Nakalimutan na nila ang Magna Carta (Members of Congress have forgotten the Magna Carta),” Diño told barangay officials during the 4th Mindanao Congress held at the SMX Convention Center in Davao on Tuesday.

The proposed law gives barangay officials -- including the barangay secretary, treasurer, tanods (watchmen), nutrition scholars,

and health workers -- fixed compensation as well as additional allowance, medical and dental coverage and retirement benefits.

Diño said under the proposed measure, barangay chairpersons will receive a fixed salary equivalent to the monthly pay of municipal councilors. The law also calls for a longer term for barangay officials from three years to six years.

“You are performing duties and functions 24/7

addressing concerns of the constituents, from a petty quarrel to fights within the family. Yet, you are not properly compensated,” the DILG official told barangay officials.

“We are the most used and abused. We are even the most confused when the mayor is not in good terms with a congressman,” he added.

Diño, who was also a former barangay captain

The lighted garden park is open from Fridays to Sundays till March 31. Tecson said the structures is also aimed as a destination for visitors coming for the See EYED, page 10

Tutoring your own child

By ARLYN P. TUDELA Master Teacher I Kapatagan National High School

CAN a parent be objectively self-aware of when they are swaying toward too easy or too hard when tutoring their own child?

That is a predicament that parents will face when they opt to tutor their own child without hiring Education graduates or student-teachers to do the tasks. Yet here are some tips to guide you in how to tutor your child well.

Teach only when your child is ready to learn. As a kindergartener, the time after breakfast and before lunch are good hours for learning for young children. After lunch in the afternoon is a better time for teens who often need to sleep late. After the evening meal may be more suitable. Finding that key time is worth it as most homework prescribed by

your teachers in public schools can be completed in less than half the time.

Thus, there will be more hours to follow up on interests, further learning, hobbies, sports and socializing which makes teaching your own child so worthwhile.

In other words, tutoring with your child makes you not just a great teacher – it will make you be a great parent as well since you’ll be conversing with your child.

Support and cooperation Working closely with TFBM’s Subcommittee on Peace and Security and Subcommittee on Health and Social Services, the NYC has tapped the local government unit of Marawi in the selection of nurses, DOH-10 for the training and the CHO for the program supervision.

During their courtesy call on Mayor Majul Gandamra, the city mayor thanked the registered nurses for choosing to serve their own hometown.

“Conducting psychosocial intervention especially with our IDPs is not an easy task. I am thanking our nurses and I am also hoping that they will continue their commitment to serving their neighbors,” Gandamra said.

Gandamra also thanked TFBM and NYC for showing their commitment to Marawi rehabilitation and recovery.

“This a very important initiative. With TFBM and NYC, we are able to deploy our nurses and this is a very big help for us,” the mayor added.

cause and not for a personal agenda,” Mediante said.

Funds...

from page 1 that were distributed during the Liga ng mga Barangay sa Pilipinas National Assembly in Manila held last February 25-27.

“Wala po akong idea (about that), tanungin na lang po nila ang organizers. Pakiusap ko po sa lahat na huwag niyo gamitin pangalan ko without my knowledge and consent,” Go said.

However, Go said he is not foolish to commit such alleged election offenses, adding he does not have the crab mentality like many of his critics.

“Nag-iisip po ako at hindi po tayo bobo, hindi po alimango ang utak ko,” Go said.

Go also mentioned that he suggested to Sec. Eduardo Año of DILG to remind Leagues of LGUs and Leagues of elective officials, such as Liga ng mga Barangay, to exercise political neutrality in their Liga activities.

Año also slammed Alejano for such allegation, saying it was fake news.

“Thats a big fake news! Liga ng Barangay is an independent activity initiated by the national league officers. They have their own organizers. I just provided the guidelines so that the activity is in accordance with the law,” Año said.

“I will never allow any irregularity in my department much more spend fund for unauthorized activity.

Yung gumawa ng allegations ang hanapan mo ng proof rather than entertaining fake news,” Año told reporters.

The DILG chief also said he knows that Go won’t allow nor tolerate such illegal activity.

“I also know Bong Go and he will not allow Barangay Captains to spend a single centavo for him,” Año added.

Go stressed that there are many groups and individuals who have

been using his logo or pictures without his consent.

“That is why dini-discourage ko po ang lahat, huwag na lang po kayong maglagay ng tarpaulin o kahit anong campaign materials ko.

Ako na nga po mismo na kandidato ang humihiling: sumunod po tayo sa batas. Iyang ginagastos sa pangangampanya, itulong nalang natin sa mga taong nangangailangan,” Go said.

Besides, Go said he had said earlier on that no government funds would be ever used in his campaign.

“Wala pong government funds na gagamitin sa aking pangangampanya. Paalala rin sa mga dati kong kasamahan sa gobyerno: prayoridad natin ang magserbisyo sa kapwa kung kaya’t ibinilin ni Pangulong Duterte na huwag na po kayo mangampanya o makisali pa sa pulitika. Itago niyo nalang sa puso ninyo kung sino gusto ninyong suportahan,” Go said.

Go noted that President Rodrigo Duterte himself has sternly warned government officials and offices from involving themselves in partisan political activities.

“Para sa mga opisyal ng barangay, palagi ko pong ipaglalaban ang kapakanan ninyo. Parte po ito ng aking adhikain at ipaglalaban ko po ito nang walang kapalit,” Go said.

He added that he is committed to serve the president and the people regardless of what position he holds.

“Nanawagan po ako sa aking mga supporters. Maraming salamat sa suporta ninyo pero sumunod po tayo sa batas at mga alintuntunin ng COMELEC. Ito ang pinakamalaking tulong na maibibigay ninyo sa akin at sa administrasyong Duterte. Inaasahan ko ang inyong kooperasyon. Maraming salamat po,” he said.

In a lighter vein, Go said he no longer needs additional promotional materials because people are reminded of his name practically in every street intersections, noting

that the green light of stoplights means “go”. (PR)
