DU-30 signs SK reform law MANILA - President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has signed a law expanding the functions of the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) to revitalize the youth participation in local governance. Republic Act (RA) 11768, authored by Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Representative Rufus Rodriguez was inked by President Duterte on May 6 which directs the formulation of internal rules and procedures within 60 days from the assumption of SK officials to office. The new law also mandates the appointment of SK secretary and treasurer, as well as the holding of regular SK meetings and Katipunan ng Kabataan assemblies. The SK members, including the treasurer and secre-

tary, will receive a monthly honorarium, chargeable against the SK funds, in addition to any other compensation provided by RA 11768. The monthly honorarium will be granted at the end of every regular monthly SK meeting. The honorarium, based on RA 11768, will not exceed See SIGNS, page 15

P15.00 Salary increase top concern for Davao teachers By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY – Teachers here are appealing for a salary increase, saying they will be more effective at their jobs if they have one less problem to worry about. In an interview over the weekend, Merry, a grade school teacher in the Island Garden City of Samal, said it is a sad reality that they have to patronize loan sharks, both to make ends meet and for work itself. “We tend to accept their offer because we also use it for classroom improvement and sometimes for the learners,” Merry told the Philippine News Agency (PNA). Wheng, a public school teacher here, said some of teachers lack financial literacy and easily grab loan offers without realizing the high-interest rates. “An increase of salary OATH-TAKING CEREMONY.

Zambo City starts giving 2nd booster dose Army unearths NPA arms cache in B’dnon By TEOFILO GARCIA, JR.

ZAMBOANGA CITY – The City Health Office here started on Saturday the administration of the second dose of vaccine booster to further strengthen the public’s protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Dr. Dulce Amor Miravite, city health officer, said workers in essential health services and senior citizens are the priority for Zamboanga City Health Office (File photo) the second booster shot. “The second booster dose is given at least four

Inclusive education By RAYMUND P. IGLESIA Libertad Central School

Inclusion in education refers to all students being able to access and gain equal opportunities to education and learning. It arose in the context of special education with an individualized education program or 504 plan, and is built on the notion that it is more effective for students with special needs to have said mixed experience for them to be more successful in social interactions leading to further success in life. The philosophy behind implementation of the inclusion model does not prioritize, but still provides for the utilization of special classrooms and special schools for the education of students with disabilities. Inclusive education models are brought into force by educational administrators with the intention of moving away from seclusion

models of special education to the fullest extent practical, the idea being that it is to the social benefit of general education students and special education students alike, with the more able students serving as peer models and those less able serving as motivation for general education students to learn empathy. Implementation of these practices varies. Schools most frequently use the inclusion model for select students with mild to moderate special needs. Fully inclusive schools, which are rare, do not separate “general education” and “special education” programs; instead, the school is restructured so that all students learn together. Inclusive education differs from the ‘integration’ or ‘main-

streaming’ model of education, which tended to be concerne A premium is placed upon full participation by students with disabilities and upon respect for their social, civil, and educational rights. Feeling included is not limited to physical and cognitive disabilities, but also includes the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and of other forms of human differences. Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett wrote, “student performance and behaviour in educational tasks can be profoundly affected by the way we feel, we are seen and judged by others. When we expect to be viewed as inferior, our abilities seem to diminish”. This is why the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 recognizes the need for adequate physical infrastructures and the need for safe, inclusive learning environments.

Homo Sapiens: Most Flawed of All Species

IN the world of forms, the homo sapiens (human beings) is the most flawed species of all of God’s creation. In one century alone (the 20th century), the homo sapiens had erased from the face of the earth some170 million of its own kind out of two world wars, the socalled cleansing by Hitler called the Holocaust when millions of Jews lost their lives, the killings of almost half of the population in Cambodia by Pol Pot, the killings out of Maoism, Stalinism, the Vietnam War and Middle East Conflict. Powerful countries continue to build arsenals and nuclear weapons that can kill humanity 40 times over. The egoic mindset of the homo sapiens has buried humanity in unbridled consumerism and materialism that continuously advances neo-liberal capitalism that is sacrificing the people and mother earth to the altar greed and profit. Despite the painful reality that the doomsday clock is now set “one minute before midnight,” meaning we are now in the precipice to end life on earth, the 19 fossil companies led by Exxon Mobile continue their massive raking at the tune of 10 trillion dollars annually or 10 million dollars every minute by manufacturing and marketing intensively coal and fossil fuel despite massive Carbon Dioxide emissions that is causing climate change without let-up. Because of the continuing destruction of the ecosystems and the extinction of

billions of species of flora and fauna including fishery and marine life, there is a continuing denial of climate change as mainstream media disseminate gospel of lies to protect the interest of the rule of the one per cent regime. Don’t you know that the total wealth of the one percent is far greater than the combined assets of the ninety-nine per cent of the world’s population? In fact, the gargantuan corporate assets of eight families in the United States is more than the combined properties of 3.6 billion people in the world. Indeed, enough is enough of oligarchical control, be it nationally or globally as elitist rule continues amidst massive inequality as the humanity is still in deep slumber. The greed for wealth and power particularly that of the Republicans headed then by no less than US President Donald trump continues through massive corruption even to the extent of denying climate change which is a crime against life and humanity reinforced by religious fundamentalism that is not just leading to the death of democracy but to the democracy of death. Apparent is the morale collapse and religious apathy that speak of the fallacies of life and religions. Out of religious fundamentalism that is centered on doctrines, no way has any religion countered the so much veneration to the profit motive that has already captured the mindset of all governments,

all institutions, all universities and even of religious groups. Non-stop pursuit of wealth, fame and power glaringly is the call of the times that has equated the essence of life to the reign of the mundane that has denigrated the very essence of life which is rooted to the sublime. Yes, human being is more than form (body), as consciousness is our very essence prior to taking a form that has emanated from the Source of Life called God.. Know the truism that each one of us is consciousness (spirit) that should be well-rooted with the Unseen Eternal Being. That is the biblical meaning of “having been made in the image and likeness of God.” Just like rays from the sun, our consciousness emanates from the Eternal Being that must now unfold as such is the divine purpose of our existence. As the Unseen Being is formless, feel that vast spaciousness deep within, that great stillness within all of us as Jesus Himself has said, “the kingdom of God is within us.” When that spaciousness and stillness is felt deep within, a human being will be unfettered from the compulsive thinking and will be the beginning of leaping-up to another dimension called transcendental dimension known as the universal intelligence. Then, what will See SPECIES, page 15

Letters from Davao

Flying out and coming home WHAT do we have here? VP Leni Robredo has flown to New York City to attend her daughter’s graduation. We should not deprive her of that. She too will have the opportunity to be in a community where she won in the overseas elections. She will find comfort there with Loida Lewis as her host. The Northeastern USA gave Leni and Kiko their win. In the rest of America, however, they lost miserably. On the other hand, presumptive president Bongbong Marcos has hied off to Melbourne, Australia for a breather and to check on his son’s enrolment in the local university. Melbourne and Sydney are where overseas Filipinos gave Leni and Kiko a slight edge over BBM and Sara. Less than a dozen “pinklawans” staged a demo in front of the apartment where BBM’s family stayed but a large commu-

nity of Pinoys gave BBM a warm welcome. After all Australian Prime Minister Scott Morison was among the first world leaders that congratulated the presumptive president. While the victor and the vanquished are off to distant hideaways, Pres. Rodrigo Duterte is packing the last of his denims and slip-on shoes. Knowing his frugal lifestyle, all his personal belongings can be contained in just two pieces of luggage. He is not going elsewhere but to his hometown - Davao City. A black D-Max pick-up will fetch him and take him to his simple home in what used to be a teachers’ village. While Leni would relish NYC’s famous bagels, pizzas, and burgers, maybe BBM would partake of Angus beef. On the other hand citizen Digong will have his favorite delight - “inun-unan

Then maybe after lunch or dinner summons the longmissed grandkids Stingray, Sharky, and Stonefish by Inday Sara. If that happens and the VP will be there, the scene would best exemplify “unity”. What a dist inc t ion among the famous. President Duterte is not used to living a life of lethargy. If I knew him well, he will still prowl the streets of Davao City on his bike looking for shady characters peddling shabu or disturbing the peace and quiet of the most peaceful and livable place in the Philippines.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Northern Mindanao has registered the highest labor force participation rate (LFPR) in the country, accounting for 69.8 percent in 2021. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data released Friday said Region 10’s LFPR last year translated to 2.410 million individuals who were 15 years old and over and were employed or ended unemployed by the end of the year. Central Luzon (Region 3) registered the lowest LFPR at 59 percent. Region 10’s LFPR in 2021 is higher by 3.5 percentage points than the 2020 annual estimate of 66.3 percent.

by 1.5 percentage points compared to the previous year. Among regions, Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula) had the highest employment rate at 96.0 percent and Surigao del Sur the highest among provinces at 97.7 percent (282,000 out of 289,000 in the labor force). Overall last year, the total number of employed persons was 43.99 million, or 92.2 percent of Filipinos who are at work or with jobs out of 47.70 million in the labor force. Lowest underemployment rate Meanwhile, the underemployment rate in the region decreased to 14.3 percent in 2021 from 23.6 percent in 2020.

Among provinces and HUCs in the region, the City of Iligan posted the lowest underemployment rate of 5.0 percent.

Davao Light strengthens its control and data system from cyber attacks AboitizPower subsidiary Davao Light and Power Company upgrades its Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to prevent cyber-attacks and improve operational efficiency, system reliability, and quality of service for the 465,000 customers within its franchise area. The SCADA system is a collection of both hardware and software elements that allows for a more seamless way of gathering, monitoring, and controlling real-time data and distant electrical devices installed in the power distribution network. Davao Light can then extract and examine data directly from the field. Without the SCADA system, fixing power outages would take several hours as the team would be required to go onsite for manual assessment. The distribution utility has continued to innovate and update the SCADA system since its initial installation in 1996. Currently, the team is able to restore 65% of unplanned interruptions in less than five minutes, resulting in a more efficient and reliable way of providing power to customers.

As the energy industry continues to shift with the digital age, Davao Light has also made strides to protect its assets against modern threats like cyber-attacks which can cause electrical blackouts, failure of equipment, and data breaches. “In the near future, we will be implementing distribution automation, enhanced outage management system, and energy management system. This is to further improve our power system reliability that will be at par with worldclass standards,” said Engr. Virmel Dabon, Davao Light System Operations Manager. Davao Light’s ERA Substation Control Center has also been upgraded in 2020 to provide tighter security controls on its components like the SCADA server to ensure long-term dependability and protection as Light engineers utilize the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to help in reducing the these facilities perform their Davao duration of unplanned interruptions by extracting real-time data from the field, analyzing the cause of problems in critical functions. the distribution network, and finding solutions to prevent unwanted interruptions in the future.

NPA commander yields 6 days after wife’s surrender in B’non MALITBOG, Bukidnon – A New People’s Army (NPA) commander yielded to the 16th Infantry Battalion (16IB) under the 402nd Infantry Brigade in Barangay Kiabo in Malitbog, Bukidnon on May 18, or six days after the surrender of his wife. Following successive focused military operations and intensified intelligence operations, 26-year-old alias Ka Jayto, commander of the SRSDG EAGLES, Subregional committee 1 of

the NPA’s Northern Central Mindanao Regional Committee for four years and considered a high-value individual, also yielded to authorities, the 16IB said in a news release on Sunday. His wife, “Renchie”, a medic of the same committee, returned to the fold of the law on May 12 due to post-natal demands, coupled with sleepless nights, fatigue, and extreme hunger. She has resolved on fostering a nurturing environment to raise her child away

Focusing on the quality of education should also be maximized. The country’s education sector should continue adapting to flexible learning amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, interaction between teachers and students must be improved and the sector should be more strategic in using technology. In basic education, or maybe in [technical and vocational education and training] as well, we see that online [learning] does not work because most of our students are [still reliant] on paper-based learning. Online [learning] will only serve the richer ones who have [internet] access at home but not most of our public schools.

the child’s interests and talents to manifest themselves in the form of primary abilities. The hypothesis of multiple intelligences has the potential to re-engage students in the educational process. When you teach a concept in a way that considers the many intelligences, you provide each of your unique learners an opportunity to succeed at learning. The student who is strong in visual-spatial intelligence will be successful with activities such as sketching and solving puzzles. Students who are strong in linguistic intelligence would do better with a writing project rather than a reading task. Students who are strong in interpersonal intelligence, on the other hand, perform very well during classroom discussions of the material that was read. When students learn, they behave better. Strength-based teaching improves student learning.

Establishing a Growth and Fixed Mindset MARVIN S. TUSOY Secondary School Teacher III Ozamiz City National High School Lam-an, Ozamiz City

One research shows that we can grow our intelligence. We can grow our brain by ‘exercising’ it! Exercising the brain means trying new challenges, doing something difficult, and reflecting and learning from our mistakes. “Alfred Binet, the developer of the IQ test, did not believe that the IQ test assessed a person’s complete intelligence. It just assessed a snapshot of their intelligence at that point in time.” He has always believed that a person’s intelligence could grow or lessen depending on how well or how bad they used their brains. Based on research by Dr. Carol Dweck, Lisa Blackwell, and their colleagues, people can either possess a fixed or a growth mindset individual. Someone with a Fixed Mindset believes that their core personality, character, abilities, and intelligence are fixed. Let’s look at the effects. Someone with a growth mindset thinks that everything

about a person is malleable. Through resilience and effort, anyone can build themselves into anything they want to be. Let’s look at the effects. People with a growth mindset show greater motivation in school, better grades, and higher test scores. Students and educators with a growth mindset understand that intelligence can be developed. Instead of worrying about their intelligence, students concentrate on how they can improve. They work hard to learn more and become more intelligent. The truth is if you put in the work, you will also encounter people who would like to help you on your journey but better be prepared to walk the path, which includes both victories and challenges, with the knowledge that it is all up to you to define your personal story. As a person, you need to believe in yourself and your ability to build the future that you’ve always dreamed of.

Multiple Intelligence (MI) and Its Impact to the Students The theory of multiple intelligences has provided educators with a foundation upon which to reflect on their practices, as well to extend their attention and pay attention to factors that may assist individuals in leading fulfilling lives. It functions as a value system that upholds the beliefs that students of varying backgrounds are capable of learning and achieving success, that education can be enjoyable, and that diligent effort on the part of educators is essential. It makes possible relevant curriculum and assessment alternatives that utilize the arts to cultivate children’s abilities and comprehension within and across a variety of subject areas. Even though there are a few things that have been present since childhood that influence them, education and school play a crucial role in the development of the child by laying the groundwork for

DOES FACEBOOK MATTERS By MARGIE M. ANTIGA Master Teacher I Opol Central School

The advent of technology has brought tremendous positive as well as negative effects to people’s lifestyle, values and choices. Looking back, in the past one has to use the postal services in order to send letters to people far away. It takes months even years before a reply is received. However, as time passes by the ways communication and gathering of information become so easy and instantly accessible to everyone. In just one click, one can get in touch with someone or something without much effort and hassle. Relative and friends from other places and countries could be reached immediately. Aside from connecting lives with others, gathering of information either for research or just to be updated on something or someone become fast also. When more sophisticated forms of connection ushered especially the Facebook, ways of thinking and doing things of people have been influenced a lot. Almost everyone has enlisted and take part to be counted as having one. Facebook users sprouted like mushrooms; young and old find sense and satisfaction perhaps every time they open their account and notice friends liking their post. It has become a trend to people to exchange ideas and experiences via Facebooking. As a results this means of communication becomes popular and trending. You what to be in, then have a Facebook account. On the contrary, those who find discontentment and disgruntled with life used this social network to express their sentiments against other people, group or organization. At some point hated arguments are often posted, awful words are lambasted to concerned parties, thereby making the Facebook network a venue to rant and embark revenge and other forms of retaliation. Once arguments and other forms of “chika” are viewed by some followers, this in turn triggered curiosity for other followers to clarify and participate in the exchange of words. Hence, they too become part of the vendetta of words which could escalate into something serious if they will not choose their words properly. So many relationships have been destroyed and broken due to malicious and malevolent information

posted in Facebook. It has become a cycle which unfortunately many of us seem to enjoy. I personally notice that some people used Facebook to inflict pain and trauma. Moreover, on the positive side, it is an essential tool not just to connect with circle of friends, to invent new things, to be updated with the latest information, but as a vehicle to share goodness to others, to teach good values to the young generation and to uplift the sad plight of the poor and marginalized group. furthermore, it has become also an essential vehicle for people in some places to inform the government of their problems, to seek for justice and to solicit for help. In addition, barrio folks in some remote rural areas who grappled with their communal concerns like poor infrastructure, no decent school buildings, no sufficient light and water system, poor sanitation and more have taken advantage of Facebook to articulate their concerns/ problems to government leaders and even to some philanthropists who are willing to share and help without the cost. Indeed, Facebook could be a blessing in disguise for all of us. Aside from what I have mentioned, it is a good venue to mount innovations that is for the betterment of our system of education and the country in general. This is in relation to the many concerns and problems we encountered at the moment like corruption, crimes, poverty, peace, and order, political matter, dishonesty of some government officials, and the like. As a teacher, I use it to share and connect with my co – teachers, students, parents and supervisor good things about life as well as my struggles as a coach and mentor to my students especially the problematic ones. In the end, what spell the difference is not Facebook per se, but how we use it that matter the most. This is basically the essence why god gave us freedom and free will; for us to use it in the most productive and loving way. All of us have the power to use it to sow goodness or wipe out the world. Let us remember what Michelle Obama said, “Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.”

Madaguing Elementary School teachers on Halalan 2022 By JENELYN JADAP Teacher III Madaguing Elementary School Claveria West District

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) announced that it has increased the honoraria for teachers serving in the May 9 polls, but the hike would only be enough to cover income tax. Electoral board chairpersons will be given P10,000 from the old rate of P8,000, while members will receive P8,000 from the previous P6,000. This is a much better system compared to the previous election, where benefits were given through cash cards. The previous one gave us a lot of headaches. The Department of Education (DepEd) said it would help the Commission on Elections (Comelec) secure a higher budget from Congress to provide additional benefits to public school teachers and poll workers who will render duty in the May 2022 national

elections. These benefits are grant of Special Risk Allowance (SRA) equivalent to a maximum of 25% of the monthly basic salary/pay; affording food and water allowance amounting to P1,000.00 per day; health insurance coverage for those who will be infected by COVID-19 and the provision of vitamins and other immune-boosting supplements; provision of swab testing and other health services in case of subsistence of COVID-19 during the period of the 2022 National Elections; allocating funds for the clean-up and repair/ maintenance expenses of every public school used as voting center; and grant of honoraria for the members of the DepEd Monitoring and Coordination Teams of the 2022 DepEd Election Task Force

According to the Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau (PRIB), Senate security officers and personnel started preparing the ballot boxes containing COCs and ERs Sunday night and loaded them into 11 armored trucks and two armored personnel carriers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). “The Senate will resume reception of the remaining COCs on Tuesday, May 24,” the PRIB said.

It said 17 more ERs and COCs are expected to arrive at the Philippine Senate in Pasay City. The decision to transfer the COCs and ERs was made as both the Senate and the House of Representatives are set to convene in a joint session on Tuesday to act as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) for the presidential and vicepresidential races and proclaim the winners.

Teaching processes, approaches and interventions By GRACE MAE ESTAÑO Teacher III

The most effective teachers vary their styles depending on the nature of the subject matter, the phase of the course, and other factors. By so doing, they encourage and inspire students to do their best at all times throughout the year. It is helpful to think of teaching styles according to the three Ds: directing, discussing and delegating. The directing style promotes learning through listening and following directions. With this style, the teacher tells the students what to do, how to do it, and when it needs to be done. The teacher imparts information to the students via lectures, assigned readings, audio/visual presentations, demonstrations,

role playing, and other means. Students gain information primarily by listening, taking notes, doing role plays, and practicing what they are told to do. The only feedback the teacher looks for is “Do you understand the instructions?” Start with the big picture. Provide the context before launching into specifics. Be clear and concise. Students need to know exactly what they must do to succeed and by what criteria their work will be evaluated. Clear goals, specific deadlines, and concise directions increase student motivation and eliminate confusion. Wordy, sloppily written, and poorly organized instructional materials confuse, overwhelm, and discourage students.

Teaching in a hinterland school By JASMIN B. BENEDICTO Teacher III Tawantawan Integrated School Initao South District Division of Misamis Oriental

There goes a saying that “Teaching is the noblest among all the professions”. This saying created a great impact in my life as a teacher. I was assigned as Multigrade teacher in a far flung area, where in I practiced my teaching profession handling multilevel combined in one classroom. I had pupils with different ages, behavior, and learning abilities. It’s quite difficult dealing with them due to their diversity. I had to prepare varied activities, employ different teaching strategies that is suited to their needs as learners. Teaching in the slum area is also difficult on my part because of the kind of workplace and the accessibility of the area. The means of transporta-

tion is not favorable and I had to go through a lot of hardships before reaching my respective station. Pupils also tend to crossed rivers just to reach the school. Most of the pupils belong to the families below poverty line, but they are willing to learn new things in school despite of their humble situation. Their willingness to learn and perseverance serves as my inspiration to change and touch their lives and make a difference in their lives as a learner. Furthermore, any single act of nobility makes TEACHING is all about.

Based on the partial and unofficial results from the Commission on Elections (Comelec) transparency server, former Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. garnered nearly 30 million votes while his closest rival, Vice President Leni Robredo, is far second with over 14 million votes in the last May 9 presidential election. In the vice presidential race, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte has over 30 million votes followed by Robredo’s running mate, Senator Francis Pangilinan, with 8.8 million votes in the second place. Cops to secure canvassing The Philippine National Police (PNP) is set to deploy cops at the House of Representatives in Quezon City to secure the canvassing of votes for the presidential and vice presidential races on Tuesday. At a press briefing in Camp Crame Monday, PNP officer-in-charge Lt. Gen. Vicente Danao Jr. said police are ready against possible street protests by groups who have yet to accept the results of the elections. “We have at least one company there (House of Representatives) to secure the whole area. ‘Yan lang ang babantayan nila, iyung Congress para ma-ensure (That is the only thing they will be guarding, Congress, to ensure) that the process of canvassing and the final proclamation of our president and vice president would not be hampered by anyone,” Danao said. The Senate and House of Representatives will convene in a joint session and start the canvassing of votes on Tuesday. Both houses have the constitutional duty to convene as National Board of Canvassers to count votes and proclaim the winners of the two highest posts in the land. The ballot boxes containing the certificates of canvass (COCs) were transferred from the Senate building in Pasay City to the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City early Monday. See TRANSFERS, page 11

Some protesters claimed that electoral fraud marred the May 9 elections but the Commission on Elections and poll watchdog Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting have already refuted these claims. Danao instructed police to observe maximum tolerance in dealing with protesters but also urged

individuals to respect rules on holding protest actions. “Everyone has his own right to express their own grievances. Karapatan po natin lahat yan pero nakikiusap ako let us do it in a proper forum. (It is their right but I appeal to them to do it in a proper forum),” Danao said. Protesters are also warned that police will not hesitate to disperse protesters in areas that they are not allowed to gather. “Kung yung area naman ay bawal lalong lalo na ‘yung canvassing area eh talagang bubuwagin kayo diyan (If the area is not allowed, especially the canvassing area, then we will disperse you). So I am asking for prudence and sobriety to all those rallyists to please calm down,” Danao said. Maj. Gen. Valeriano de Leon, Director for Operations, said rally organizers must secure the necessary permits from the local government units (LGUs) concerned and ensure that they can police their own ranks to prevent violence. “Kung ito ay isang mapayapang assembly, eto ay ating papayagan lalo na, kung ito ay gaganapin sa mga freedom parks.

Strengthening the Quality of Education amid the COVID-19 Pandemic By: JOSELITO L. LEGASPI Teacher III Barra Elementary School

Schooling is the most affected aspect of human life due to the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Since the rise and threat of the pandemic, many countries around the world would have decided to temporarily close schools that have affected millions of students. In the Philippines, the government’s Department of Education has come up with guidelines to implement online and modular distance learning delivery of instructions. Education provides us knowledge of our society and environment and hones our skills to change them for the better. Education also helps us to develop our own perspective of looking at our lives, prepares us to have our own points of view, and form our own opinions on different facets of life. Education today is not the process of gain-

ing information. Education helps us acquire knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to make informed decisions, lead meaningful lives, and undertake active roles in contemporary society. When millions of young people have been urged to stay at home like the other members of their families, and when the educational institutions have remained closed, online education appears to be the alternative to ensure the continuity of education of these students. This global situation poses an excellent opportunity for teachers to forge much stronger connections with families. Teachers have the chance to develop creative initiatives to help overcome the limitations of being physically separated and there is ample evidence that teachers are actively collaborating with each other and at the local level.

GMRC revival in basic education By GRACE MAE ESTAÑO Teacher III

GOOD Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC) is now back following the approval of the bill making it a core subject in the K-12 curriculum for both private and public schools here in the Philippines. Actually, the subject was never dissolved even in SY 2019-20 because it is embedded in the existing Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao subject. Teaching values education has always been included in the curriculum. GMRC refers to an old subject or course that was taught to students in the old curriculum but it is currently taught in EsP. In the new K-12 curriculum,

age-appropriate values education and lessons relevant and appropriate for learners are being taught. This will allow the students to gain real life experiences in applying their values to difficult situations but in a controlled environment where experienced educators will help them process the lessons they learned in a constructive and nurturing way. In SY 1991-92, Character Education was included via a DepEd Department Order No. 90 s. 1991. It is noted as a subject with four major themes focused on acceptable norms of behavior as defined by Philippine society.

Zero tolerance on online cheating

The Life of a Public School Teacher By CARLA ANGINEEHL L. FLORES Teacher 3 Claveria Central School

Teaching is the world’s largest profession in which salaries differ from one country to another. In the Philippines, a public school teacher has a lesser salary compared to the other countries. There are instances, teachers scream for a salary increase. Unraveling the challenging task through sharing the life of a public-school teacher. Before entering the Department of Education, aspiring teachers will undergo a step-by-step process in which the teacher will be hired based on merit and fitness that is determined through competitive examination or based on highly technical qualifications following Philippines Civil Service Policies, Rules, and Procedures. A newly hired public school teacher has a salary grade 11, less the deduction from it such as the taxes, contributions in the different agencies as follows: Philhealth, Pag-big, and GSIS. The salary is released twice a month. But for a newly hired teacher, it takes 1-2 months to process and prepared all the papers needed for payroll inclusion. It indicates that the teacher will suffer from debt for a few months before they will enjoy the salary spontaneously. Teachers assigned in farflung areas need to travel and spent their days away from their families. Traveling through public transportations, motorcycle (commonly known as habal-habal) or even walking for how many kilometers with a bulky and huge bag full of foods dress and other necessities good for one week stay in their station for them to give their best and perform, deliver and cater the needs of their learners. They need to rent a

house or even sleep in school for five days and spent with other children that are not related to them with various attitudes, characteristics, and personalities in one room. They also need to manage it with a stretch patient. Two days will be spent with their family. Can we consider it a sacrifice? Yes, it is because 90% of teachers’ life spends in school than in their own home together with their family. There are instances that the classroom is in dire need of repair of old wrecked walls, ceilings, and windows, and lack of learning facilities such as blackboards, chairs, and desks for the learners. To this extent, there is a lack of classrooms. However, with the initiative of the teachers, they used the available facilities in the school. Such as the school stage, or even conduct classes under the trees for them to educate the children. Others get money from their pocket to provide the necessary materials for blackboards and paints to regenerate the classroom and make it conducive to learning. Summing up all the expenses and sacrifices discharged and rendered by the teacher is not payable with the salary they received every month. It doesn’t compensate for all their sacrifices and hard work for our children but yet they are striving hard to offer eminence education to our youth today. Putting quantity to every quality thing done by the teacher is not enough to pay for all the sacrifices for all the children they handled with. It is the pride of our country that our children are fostered with the living hero, the teacher.

across the Philippines were alleged to have joined the now defunct Facebook group Online Kopyahan wherein students reportedly share answer keys and leaks from learning activities and exams. The group disappeared after it went viral. It reached the attention of DepEd and is now being investigated by the PNP. Academic dishonesty promotes pagkatamad. When a student cheats, he/she is not learning skills and lessons. Parents are also enjoined to be responsible. DepEd has no control over children when they are at home. It’s going to be a synergy between DepEd

of learners and warn them against membership in any cheating platform, encourage learners and parents to sign a contract against dishonesty, conduct orientation with parents to make them aware of the Facebook pages that promote cheating, initiate support groups of parents to ensure they instill the value of honesty and integrity in their children, seek out opportunities to teach academic integrity among learners and discourage them from feeding on laziness and instant gratification and coordinate with local authorities to assist in the campaign against online cheating.

Math Anxiety : Its Effect on Student’s Dream Profession FELINA J. TARAYA Teacher III Gitagum Central School DepEd Misamis Oriental

Everyone dreams to be somebody when they grow up. Since childhood, we have aspired to accomplish great things. Yes! there are countless work opportunities, but a dream job is a certain career that we are hoping for. However, there are various factors that affect our choice of profession as time passed by, and one of them is math anxiety. Math anxiety can manifest itself in a variety of ways, from general discomfort and mental instability to panic and physical uneasiness. Students become worried as a result of the deadlines imposed by timed tests. This causes individuals to forget concepts that they can recall easily at home. The student’s concern of failing is confirmed because these assessments can have a detrimental influence on their marks. In addition, mathematics anxiety has even been associated to previous negative feelings. When a student is reprimanded for getting a wrong answer, it can intensify his or her anxiousness.

The same applies if he or she has been shamed in front of others. Many students experience a cycle of failure as a result of their math anxiety, since the more anxious they become, the less they learn. Even though anxiety is a natural emotion, it can affect the learning progress when it is linked to specific subject areas or activity in the classroom. Many students with mathematics anxiety lose confidence in their abilities to do mathematics and therefore take the bare minimum of math classes which severely limits their career choice. A wide range of disciplines and industries is affected by mathematics anxiety across the globe. Self-awareness appears to be related to math confidence, math values, and self-efficacy. Improving these notions may lead to reduced mathematics anxiety and enhanced efficiency in solving mathematical problems. As our society’s reliance on mathematics literacy grows, mathematics anxiety is truly a problem we need to address.***

What will a return to school during the COVID-19 pandemic look like By GRACE MAE ESTAÑO Teacher III

PARENTS and students across the country are heading into summer break, but on their minds is what will happen when it comes time to go back to school next month. Some schools are preparing to bring a third to a half of their students into the schools at a time, alternating days or weeks with the other half. Remote learning will likely remain in the mix. The current situation with schools closing during the COVID-19 pandemic is an emergency response to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Remote teaching is a temporary shift of instructional delivery to an alternate mode due to crisis circumstances. The primary objective is to quickly provide temporary, reliable access to

instruction and support during a crisis, not to re-create a robust educational ecosystem. Although it’s not ideal to continue with all remote learning in Augustl, some online learning may be the safest way for students to go back to school. Although some children regularly attended online schools before COVID-19, the large majority of children had no prior experience with remote learning before the pandemic. For K-12 education, online learning can be as good or even better than in-person classroom learning. Research has shown that students in online learning performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction, but it has to be done right.

vaccination because although it is not mandatory our school will open face-to face class and it requires all students to be vaccinated. MSU Executive Vice President Dr. Rashid Paca said the COVID-19 vaccines are beneficial as he had firsthand experiences of the positive effects after

he was vaccinated, and he was certain that others can relate also to this. With this, he firmly urged the citizenry to get their shots for the general welfare. “I am encouraging you for our public safety. Let us go and voluntarily submit ourselves for vaccination because this is for the good of all of us. Not for you alone but lahat tayo [all of us] because knowing the transmissibility of the COVID-19, the only option for us is to be vaccinated,” said Paca.

Kahalagahan ng internet access sa new normal

Strengthening online learning platforms

Ni LEONIESES J. KILATON

By LIBERTY C. LEONES

Ang edukasyon ay nasa gitna ng pagbuo ng kakayahan ng isang tao. Ito ay sa pamamagitan ng edukasyon na ang mga tao ay nakakakuha ng mga kasanayan na nagbibigay ng kasangkapan sa kanila upang makahanap ng trabaho, magsimula ng mga negosyo, humantong sa kasiyasiyang buhay at magbigay para sa kanilang sarili at kanilang mga pamilya. Binubuo ng edukasyon ang mga kakayahan na kinakailangan din ng mga lipunan upang mapabuti ang pagiging produktibo at makamit ang paglago ng ekonomiya, upang mapamahalaan ang mga serbisyong pangkalusugan at panlipunan, at upang gampanan ang buong bahagi sa pandaigdigang pamayanan ng mga bansa. Sa panahon ng new normal, ang internet ay napakahalaga sa larangan ng komunikasyon. Ang Internet ay may napakalawak na potensyal upang mapabuti ang kalidad ng edukasyon, na kung saan ay isa sa mga haligi na nagpapanatili ng pag-unlad. Ang pag-access sa Internet ay mahalaga sa pagkamit ng adhikain na ito para sa hinaharap. Maaari nitong mapabuti ang kalidad ng edukasyon sa maraming paraan. Nagbubukas

ito ng mga pintuan sa isang kayamanan ng impormasyon, kaalaman at mga mapagkukunang pang-edukasyon, pagdaragdag ng mga pagkakataon para sa pag-aaral na lampas sa silid aralan. Gumagamit ang mga guro ng mga online na materyal upang maghanda ng mga aralin, at mga nag-aaral upang mapalawak ang kanilang saklaw ng kaalaman. Ang mga interactive na pamamaraan ng pagtuturo, ay syempre sinusuportahan din ng Internet, ito ang nagbibigay-daan sa mga guro na bigyan ng higit na pansin ang mga pangangailangan ng indibidwal na mag-aaral at nararapat na suportahan ang pagbabahagi ng pag-aaral. At oo, lalo na ngayon sa bagong normal na kung saan ang mga guro ay masigasig na nagsisiyasat ng mga pagkakataon at nakakatuklas ng mga bagong paraan kung saan maaari nilang magamit ang Internet upang mapabuti ang kalalabasan ng edukasyon. Ang pag-access sa Internet ay napakahalaga lalonglalo na sa new normal. Ang pag-access sa Internet, na may sapat na bandwidth, ay mahalaga para sa pagpapaunlad ng isang lipunan ng impormasyon.

Nowadays, we all are staying in our homes due to the lockdown policy implemented by the government. However, learning should not halt. Different countries worldwide have introduced various answers during the pandemic to continue the education process – the introduction of distance learning. These are online learning platforms such as google, T V broadcasts, guidelines, resources, video lectures and online channels were introduced (UNESCO, 2020). Online learning platforms have become more diverse, so to learn a language, you can use language learning apps and online flashcards, and for younger ones, there are e-learning online classroom services as well. Additionally, there are coding platforms for schools as well. And yes, in a remote situation is where online learning platforms really come to the fore, as platforms for education make the most of modern technology. That’s not to say traditional means of education are about to be extinct, but academic institutions and businesses have identified that

we can achieve plenty more through tech, such as smartphones and other internetconnected devices which can facilitate learning from any location. With schools to re- open its doors the following school year, it’s vital to plan how schools will be able to pursue their mission of implementing quality education to every student. As school is a public place where crowd is unavoidable and children are vulnerable, there is a need to strengthen policy in terms of the delivery of instruction - to provide opportunities for online learning platforms. Numerous innovative programs have been proposed by the different learning sectors in the Philippines. The Department of Education emphasized that it would not necessarily mean that teachers and learners will go to schools and learn inside the classrooms and devised various modalities to ensure that online learning a choice among all others in this new learning environment (DepEd, 2020). Similarly, in the higher education institutions, new normal would be virtual classrooms.

loom is the truism that there is oneness of all of God’s creation. Feel that inter-connectedness and oneness with all life forms and you will feel that life is indeed sacred as oneness is indeed true love. Then, the true divinity looms. No war, no conflict, no destruction of nature, no bleeding of Mother Earth. When that happens, the homo sapiens will be transformed into SPIRITUS LUMINOUS or enlightened spirit or HOMO PACEM (men and women for peace}. Through that transformation, there will be a new earth and a new heaven. The 6th extinction will not happen which is ANTHROPOCENE (man-made)! Humanity will finally be freed from collective insanity that is wreaking havoc not only to humanity but to the Earth itself as we now are facing the Earth’s 6th extinction after the 5th extinction which happened 65 million years ago when asteroids hit the earth that killed the dinosaurs. The Earth of course will not die, only ours will, thus, the imperative need for the homo sapiens to become spiritus luminous or homo pacem. That’s how to debunk the mundane to leap to the subline! Then, the universal intelligence sets-in through transcendental dimension. Amen!

Housing...

from page 1 Rebuilding Marawi Project (MRP). February 25 of last year, Bariga’s faily transferred here, a shelter unit she calls “our own house”, leaving behind the house owned by a relative in a village in Marawi, some four kilometers away in Dulay West. When Bariga’s family fled

during the siege, they stayed for six months in a school, that served as evacuation center, in Saguiaran town, in Lanao del Sur. “It was very difficult living in an evacuation center with six little children so right after the (declaration) of Marawi liberation, we asked our relative if we can stay in their house. They let me stay there for free while waiting for the opportunity to be given permanent housing,” Bariga said. Bariga said she accepted the fact that they could no loger go back to their previous area inside the MAA in Marawi City. She understands that they were previously living in the area now declared by the goverment as “no-build zone” and “danger zone” because these are within the reclamation area, within the easement of Lake Lanao ang the river banks. Comfortable living At Hadiya Village, Barriga said, she and her husband are comfortably living in a house with 42 square meters floor area on a 100sq m lot, with their nine children. The couple is selling ‘dodol’, a Maranaw delicacy, they cooked together. A family friend allowed them to construct a small bamboo shade along the road in Barangay Lilod Saduc where commuters are regularly passing through. She said, they have better life now compared before the siege even if they have the same source of income. “Mas maliit pa dito bahay namin dati nung hindi pa nagsiege,” Bariga said comparing to their house now at the Hadiya Village. “At mas maganda ang income namin ngayon dahil nakapuwesto kami sa isang lugar na may maraming tao, hindi tulad ng dati na nasa loob kami ng Padian (market inside the most affected area),” she added. Worries, uncertainties While Bariga said her family has a better life five years after the siege, Taib Gauraki, a displaced resident who was also given a permanent shelter unit in the same area is worried about their ownership of the land their houses are constructed. He learned that the government have only paid 25% of the lot, a total land area of 2.8 hectares, in Barangay Dulay West where the 109 houses were constructed. He is worried now that the UNHabitat will be wrapping up their project, they will be left with no assurance of not being uprooted from the area. “Sabi nila, this is a permanent shelter, how long will we wait na mabayaran ito (the lot) at hindi kami mapaalis dito? Importante sa amin na mabayaran ito para walang magpapaalis sa amin dito,” Gauraki said. He said they wanted to get the title of the lot so that they are assured not to be displaced

Tuesday, May 24, 2022 again.

Assurance Engr. Felmar Gilbang, Project Manager of Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC), said these residents are already assured they will not be evicted from the housing area. The heirs of the original owner of the land, who was already dead, issued a conditional deed of sale to the SHFC after receiving the 20% of the prize of the land for the transfer of the title name. “May certificate of award naman na ibinigay sa mga homeowners,” Gilbang said. Marawi Mayor Majul Gandamra said that 1,000 of more than three thousand families, who lived in the different transitory shelters, were already relocated to their permanent houses in five areas: Hadiya Village in Barangay Dulay West, Norsalam Village in Barangay Patani, Pamayandeg Ranaw Residence in barangays Kilala and Mipantao-Gadongan and Darussalam Village in Barangay Dulay Proper. The SHFC and the National Housing Authority (NHA) purchased the land in these areas. Around 2,000 more families living in the transitory shelters are yet to go home and rebuild their houses in the most affected area (MAA) according to Gandamra. “Many of them are waiting for the compensation, as stated in the newly-approved Marawi Compensation Law, that they will use in rebuilding their houses. Many of them have already approved building permit and there are still many others waiting,” Gandamra said. Praying for compensation For Abduljalil Madid, homeowners ass o ciation president of Hadiya Village, said even if they have already their permanent shelter and a livelihood, they still wanted to get assurance if they can received compensation from the government stated in the Compensation Law. “Sana ang susunod na pamunuan ng national government, ang susunod na presidente, ay patuloy kaming suportahan gaya ng ginawa ni PRRD (President Rodrigo Roa Duterte). Sana ay mabigyang solusyon ang mga hindi pa nasolusyunan ay mabigay na ang mga hindi pa nabigay sa amin,” Madid said. Madid is referring about livelihood programs and amenities inside the housing site such as the public market. Wrapping up On May 30, the UN-Habitat will wrap up its Marawi Resettlement Site projects. In the course of its fouryear engagement in Marawi, 1000 permanent houses were turned over to internally displaced families affected by the 2017 siege with the last houses were awarded in the May 19 handover event. Aside from core shelter

project, the UN-Habitat have also engaged in the livelihood skills training, community development, peace structures, mapping and community infrastructures. As of May 2022, some 923 houses have completed construction, 77 are for completion by June 2022. Of these, 538 were already turned over to families. “The planning of the construction of these houses were participated by the beneficiaries so that the house designs are culturally-sensitive,” said Christopher Rollo, Country Programme Manager of UNHabitat Philippines. “The Rebuilding Marawi Project demonstrates that adequate housing is at the center of sustainable development because having an adequate home empowers a family to satisfy its basic needs while providing the space to dream, engage in gainful livelihood, commune with neighbors and become communities of peace,” Rollo added.

from page 1 Atrium of Limketkai Center in Cagayan de Oro City. Ruben Vegafria, Regional Director of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), said the congress aims to gather key players, stakeholders, MSMEs of the food and agriculture industry sector, farmers, producers, producer’s cooperatives, businessmen and traders, exhibitors, technology innovators and service providers, academe and research institutions, local and foreign buyers, suppliers, and representatives of goverment line agencies and local government units (LGUs). Vegafria said during the congress, the CCCIFI will be able to pass resolutions and policy recommendations to be presented to presumptive president Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. “At the closing ceremony, we expect the presence of (presumptive) Pres. Marcos. During the four-day event, we will have plenary sessions with the topnotch speakers, workshops, product exhibits and business matching,” Vegafria said during in a press briefing on Wednesday. Vegafria added that the food congress seeks to take a deep dive on the gaps in the Mindanao’s agriculture supply chain network, support diverse distribution efforts with efficient logistics and finding alternative options to improve productivity and competitiveness. It will also formulate and recommend programs, strategies and policies to help strengthen and “transform agriculture to achieve a sustainable food security in Mindanao.” “We would like to intensify value adding and explore innovation alternatives to improve

products, processes, services and market,” Vegafria said. The Oro Best Expo, on the other hand, being the longest running and largest trade exposition in Northern Mindanao will continue to perform its annual mandate of providing MSMEs the opportunity and venue wherein they could showcase their best products and services and ultimately expand the network and linkages. In 2020, the Philippine agriculure sector made up 10.2% of the country’s GDP and employed 9.75 million workers based on the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data. Government data also showed that some 7.9 million hectares of the Philippine lands is devoted to agriculture. “Unfortunately, based on the Global Hunger Index, the country is ranked 68th out 116 countries surveyed in terms of hunger level which could further be exacerbated by climate change patterns and the evolving COVID-19 pandemic,” Vegafria added. Business sectors from India will partner with the CCCIFI for the business matching. Nishi Kant Singh, First Secretary on Economic and Commerce of the Embassy of India, said the congress will highlight in the agriculture technology innovation and renewable energy application. Raymundo Talimio, Jr., president of CCCIFI, said the theme of the congress will revolve around agricultural transformation “and we would like to know where we are now and what are the value chain activities we can promote and what we can do for food security and sustainability in Mindanao.” “This congress is our way to economic recovery after the pandemic crisis,” Talimio said.

for student-learner modules. “There is also internet connection that we really need. Another additional expense on our part,” she added. Presumptive Vice President Sara Duterte, the incoming Department of Education (DepEd) secretary, has expressed concern about teachers who are deep in debt, especially to loan sharks within the agency. “That is the sad reality for our teachers. I saw it when I was the mayor of Davao City,” Duterte said in an interview Friday. Duterte pointed out that such a dilemma affects the quality of work. “How can you expect the teachers to work religiously if they are confronted with such a problem?” she said. Reelected Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, chair of the Committee on Basic Education, Arts and Culture, has proposed to increase the salary of Teacher I from Salary Grade 12 (PHP25,439) to Grade 13 (PHP29,798) or Grade 14 (PHP32,321). Merry said aside from loans, a teacher also becomes ineffective when tasks outside of teaching pile up. “The teachers cannot focus on teaching alone,” Merry said. Sandee, a public school teacher in Davao de Oro, said they hope to do away with ancillary services and numerous reports and evaluations. She cited “Brigada Eskwela” (School Brigade) as a good project, but stressful for most of them. It is a nationwide voluntary effort among teachers, parents, students, community members, and other organizations to spruce up schools in preparation for the academic year. “We are forced to shell out our own money during the preparation of our classroom evaluation,” Sandee said, but thanked parents and other donors for helping them during the contest proper. The teachers are optimistic though that once the pandemic is over, things will be easier for everyone. “We are expecting the next DepEd chief to address our concerns,” Sandee said. (PNA)
