Smoking risks due to combustion – expert TO address the confusion over the difference between smoking and nicotine consumption, a London professor and smoking cessation expert said combustion or the process of burning tobacco, not nicotine, is what causes smokingrelated diseases and death.

“Practically all risks to health from smoking are due to combustion

products that are released from burning tobacco,” Peter Hajek, professor of clinical psychology and director of the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine’s Tobacco Dependence Research Unit at Queen Mary University of London.

Studies have found that tar and carcinogens found in tobacco smoke cause the death and disease associated with smoking, and not

nicotine.

“Outside pregnancy and some rare vascular diseases, using nicotine on its own does not pose much risks to physical health. If smokers switch from smoking to using nicotine on its own, they avoid practically all risks of smoking,” he said.

Hajek said by eliminating combustion from nicotine consumption, such as using products like e-cigarette,

health risks will be significantly reduced. Ecigarettes or vapes, heated tobacco products and snus are among the non-combustible alternatives to smoking.

There is a mounting scientific evidence from around the world confirming that smoke-free nicotine products are significantly less harmful See SMOKING, page 11

Andanar: TF-ELCAC’s ‘homebuilding’ fosters peace, empowers communities

By RUBY LEONORA R. BALISTOY

M A L AY BA L AY C I T Y, Bukidnon, -Presidential Communications operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin M. Andanar said “we need a home to keep peace, just as we need peace to keep a home.”

Andanar highlighted the importance of the whole-of-nation approach in peacebuilding, through Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (TF-ELCAC), as Cabanglasan town signals the start of the construction of its

P20-million housing project for indigenous peoples (IPs) in groundbreaking rites on Friday at barangay Poblacion.

The National Housing Authority’s blueprint for the “NHA-Cabanglasan IP Village” resettlement project shows 80 housing units of a “two-storey single detached design” costing P250,000 per unit covering more than 10 hectares to house needy IP families of the Umayamnon and Higaonon tribes living in geographically remote and deprived areas, includ-

ing riverbank IP dwellers.

Andanar cited in a video message to the beneficiaries and other peace advocates, in “Bisaya” dialect, that unity and cooperation between and among the people, local government unit, and national government agencies led to the realization of the said housing project.

Communications Secretary Martin Andanar explains the significance of the whole-of-nation approach in peacebuilding, through TF-ELCAC, as Cabanglasan town breaks ground for its

P20-M indigenous peoples village. (PIA Bukidnon) “ They [IPs] deser ve decent homes. They were among those affected by the unrest caused by terrorist groups. They were the first victims of harassment.

Some have even sacrificed lives to protect their tribes and families. Despite the richness of their culture and abundance of natural resources, living peacefully remains a challenge for them,” he said.

The Secretary, as Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security for Northern Mindanao (CORDS X), emphasized that coordinating peacebuilding and development activities would ensure that communities continue to prosper.

Cabanglasan town Mayor Renante V. Inocando, visibly pleased to be included in the list of priority program beneficiaries thanked NHA and the CORDS X for sincerely fortifying the local government’s toil to make IP aspirations a reality, reiterating that this housing project is one of the government’s vows during the Convergence Areas for Peace and Development (CAPDev) launching on June 28, 2019.

The process of learning the topics in Educational Psychology has transformed my worldview of my role as a teacher- practitioner, on how I look at my learners about the intricacies and the beauty of learning itself as it relates to the individuals, the many educational philosophies and theories, and the society or context of learning. I never thought that learning these new topics could be that challenging especially when my pre-conceived notions about my learners and about learning runs contrary to the very conceptions that I held true since venturing into the world of teaching. For me, it is true that resistance to new learning takes a lot of effort to get rid of. This realization has brought me closer to a consciousness of constantly questioning and challenging the notions of how to achieve effective learning for my learners, about how my learner’s pre-conceptions could be rewired to accommodate new knowledge and conceptions and more importantly how I manage my own learning as a life-long learner.

I was so delighted to learn the divergent ideas whether learning is facilitated by nature (genetic) or nurture (learned) (Mc Leod S. 2017). It turned out to be not an easy task to simplify the problem. Man is the sum of his being as an organism with unique genetic characteristics and distinct learning environment by which dynamic interactions among various societal factors (Political, economic, social, technological etc.) contributes to the identity of the individuals. In a way, the social environment affects the individual likewise, the individual affects the social environment (L.S. Vygotsky, undated).

When this is the case, I would like to see the whole society as a living system where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When learners were given the opportunities to maximize its potentials given its inherent genetic make-up and circumstances, it is the whole society that will benefit.

The social systems that are in placed are supposed to serve the benefits of the society, that is, every individual that made up the whole society. But the educational system we have in the Philippines does not provide fully all the essentials for every learner in the country to fully achieve its potentials.

I am referring to equity, access, and quality of public basic education. As a teacher, I feel honored to contribute to nation building, of transforming the society where human dignity is respected.

Contrary to the things that we are seeing today like the disregard of life and human dignity is simply a reflection of the kind of society where we belong. As a human being, we do not deserve to experience such horror. The question is whether as an educational institution, we have failed to nurture every individual to be a microcosm of an ideal society. This brings me back to the realization that I can do something as an individual teacher to be the force for change at least in my own classroom and school community. I would like to be a pro-active teacher who is nurturing to the needs of my learners.

The philosophical perspectives on education (Educational philosophies exm. idealism, realism. pragmatism, existentialism, post modernism and educational theories like perennialism, essentialism, progressivism, critical theory) offered me a wide array of understanding a world view (educational philosophy) or understanding education in schools on what it teaches from the curriculum. But what affects me dearly is the existentialism educational theory. The idea that knowledge that one needs to pursue is the knowledge about the human condition and the personal choices one makes (Orstein and Levin, 2003). Existentialist teaches and values individual freedom and choices. Now I realized that I mostly allowed my students to come up with their own reflections, role play, and group discussions which provided my students some sort of autonomy to take decisions yet accountable of their own learning. But I also realized that not all students responded positively using an existentialist lens in my teaching.

As a science teacher, being more of a progressive type do better to my learners who responded well on “learning by doing” (Dewey J. undated). Although, curriculum content was delivered from student interests and questions, an idea that reconciles well with existentialism.

Another thing that does not escape my imagination is the reconstructionism educational philosophy. Being educated in a liberal education institution and having been influenced by progressive ideas of taking “actions in the streets”, somewhat motivated me as a teacher in bringing the world into the classrooms thus often I ask my students in Philosophy classes to take social actions that would improve the human conditions in their respective communities (Freire P. undated). Pursuing a research that would highlight student’s inclination towards social action may be one of the research directions I may undertake in the future.

However, the social-cognitive theory of learning described how behavior, cognition and the environment are

synergistically affecting or influencing each other which contributed to learning of the individual. Behaviors of individuals are unique since everyone has their own set of life experiences, which also means that everyone learned differently considering his/her own genetics and predispositions. The environment also plays an important role. People learn through observation, imitation, and modelling (Bandura,1986). This is the reason why modelling by the teacher plays an important role in developing student’s conception of reality and construction of self-identity.

In the field of neurological science, the human brain is found to be pliable (brain plasticity). That neurons establish more links with other neurons through dendritic connections by making learning more integrative. In my teaching practice, in science lesson or even in other fields of discipline, I tried my best to integrate topics with current events, real life experiences and other fields of interests. Doing it provides more meaningful learning experiences. Also, integrating concepts within and across disciplines demands that the teacher has wide arrays of experiences that he/she can retrieve when the right learning opportunities happen. This has implications on the kind of in-service or pre-service trainings of teachers or would-be teachers. I wonder how Teacher Education Institutions (TEI’s) including the Department of Education is addressing this need considering that the K-12 curriculum demands that teaching-learning should be integrative.

Thus, research in this area would be a great opportunity to understand how teachers will be supported for their professional development.

Studies in information processing theory found out that information is stored in multiple locations throughout the brain. That the more connections to a single idea or concept, the more likely it is to be remembered (Rumelhart and Mc Clelland, 1986). This has wide implications on the way we teach our learners. Based on the studies, it was suggested to teach students the different methods or strategies to improve memory like the use of mnemonics and relate new information to things one already knew. It was also found how sleep as an essential aspect in enhancing creativity and deep learning since it promotes dendritic growth and neural connections. I wonder to what extent teachers are teaching their students the best way to remember or retain information from the topics they discussed. If we truly care about student learning, we should provide the support by teaching our learners with the strategies that promotes information to be encoded to long term memory. One way of doing it is through elaboration and coding of data for easier retrieval. I accept that I missed this significant information to be mainstreamed in my lessons.

There may be times that I taught the use of mnemonics in teaching science but missed the opportunities for my students to practice it by themselves.

Allowing them to develop this skill would be helpful since learners will become conscious of their own learning thus develop metacognitive (learning to learn) skills, an important trait for a life-long learner.

Finally, a constructivist theory of learning posits that learning occurs because learners are actively involved in the process of making meaning and knowledge construction. Learners benefit when learning is contextualized as well as engaging and meaningful.

On the contrary, traditional teaching and learning placed teachers at the pedestal. They were worshipped like gods who transmits knowledge for student’s enlightenment. I still feel the same today after a couple of years teaching in a public school. Perhaps this is just a reflection of the kind of traditional paradigm that persisted in many educational institutions that taught most of our teachers in the Philippines.

Or maybe the people in this society have not reached a critical point of totally freeing itself from the traditional educational system that persisted. This is obvious since we have just started the K-12 educational program five years ago. In this program, constructivism played an important role in basic education. It is one of the underlying reasons why we have embarked into the most ambitious educational reform. Ever since the program started, I still feel that a lot of teachers and administrators still cling to the familiar traditions that prevents constructivist teaching to take root. Even though John Dewey in the 60’s, Piaget and Vygotsky in the 70’s and Brunner in the 90’s who considered as the leading theorist of constructivism, advanced their ideas in some countries, their ideas has not advance deeply in the Philippine Education. There may be some teachers who practiced this theory and may be just died out due to lack of support or perhaps the utility of this idea was hampered by the conditions that exist inside the classroom even after the K-12 program was implemented. Research area in constructivism in Philippine context will provide rich information on how we can move forward in our quest for a better educational system.

Ayala Corporation President and CEO, Fernando Zobel de Ayala

Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Hon. Emilio B. Aquino

Philippine Dealing & Exchange Commission President and CEO, Mr. Antonino A. Nakpil

28 May 2021, MANILA – Four years since it last tapped the local debt market, Ayala Corporation returns big via a debt securities program that is more than10 times oversubscribed.

During the virtual listing ceremony led by the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp., Ayala Corporation President and CEO Fernando Zobel de Ayala said the successful issuance of the first tranche of the company’s P30 billion debt securities program, which raised P10 billion in proceeds, will support Ayala’s strategic priorities: strengthening and recalibrating its diverse portfolio and repositioning the

of the marketing range, carrying a coupon of 3.0260% and 3.7874% for the 3-year and 5-year tenor, respectively.

Moreover, this offering is the largest 5-year allocation among dual tranche offers during the pandemic, a reflection of the market’s confidence of in Ayala’s long-term stability and credit strength.

“We are delighted to see that investor interest remained high, with demand from both retail and institutional investors reaching over P60 Billion,” Zobel added.

Zobel, meanwhile, lauded the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PDS Group for launching the country’s first Electronic Securities

allow fellow Filipinos to share with your business success.

By pursuing your expansion projects responsibly and sustainably, more of our fellow Filipinos can be employed and will be able to provide for and secure a better future for their families,” Aquino added.

In addition, Antonio Nakpil, President & CEO of Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corporation, commended Ayala Corporation and Ayala Land for being the pioneer users of the e-SIP portal and for their continued support to local capital markets.

“It is fitting that the Ayala Group, led by Ayala Corp—the longeststanding supporters,

Ayala returns to local debt market more than 10x oversubscribed company for a postpandemic economic recovery.

“The Ayala group has always been and continues to be an active participant of the capital markets,” said Zobel. “During this [health] crisis, Ayala Corp., Ayala Land, BPI, Globe, Manila Water, and AC Energy raised over P190 billion pesos in combined proceeds from the domestic and international capital markets to allow us to take advantage of opportunities and further solidify our balance sheet during these challenging times.”

The oversubscription of the offering allowed Ayala Corporation to price at the lowest end

Issue Portal called e-SIP, which would eliminate voluminous paper-based submissions and expand a company’s reach by selling securities online.

Ayala Corporation and Ayala Land were the first companies to utilize the e-SIP system.

In his remarks, Securities & Exchange Commission Chairperson Emilio Aquino thanked Ayala Corporation for playing an important role in realizing the “capital market’s potential to sustain our economy’s expansion and bring growth to every Filipino.”

“As issuers, you create legitimate investments opportunities. And through the capital market, you make them accessible and thereby

constructive contributors, and most active group of issuer participants of the domestic capital market—featured prominently to bookend this month, a milestone in the digitalization timeline for the corporate bond primary market,” Nakpil said.

At Ayala Corporation’s annual stockholders meeting last month, Zobel said the Ayala Group will continue to support the expansion of its core value drivers— Ayala Land, BPI, Globe, and AC Energy. It will also support the growth of emerging businesses, Entrego and AC Health.

For 2021, the Ayala Group is allocating a combined capex of P196 billion.

Online inadequacy and social media publicity stunts against Oca

ROCKINGHAM, North Carolina---Ever wonder how the Philippines’ dismal Internet infrastructure system is connected to their surge of COVID-19 cases?

Mindanao Gold Star Daily editor-in-chief Herbie Gomez, a few friends at the City Information Office and media friends back in Cagayan de Oro City keep me updated through Facebook Messenger on the city’s COVID-19 situation.

I also read Mindanao Daily News and I’m sad for my family and friends on how they have to deal with the crisis on a daily basis.

The surge of COVID-19 cases in Cagayan de Oro City and northern Mindanao is troubling and frustrating on a personal even if fellow Filipino-Americans here and other parts of the US are returning to prepandemic normalcy thanks in large part not only due to increased public compliance to health protocols but to the US government’s intensified vaccination campaign which is reportedly averaging four million vaccinations daily.

It was slightly more than a year ago when here at North Carolina and else-

where in the US the Americans had to stay at home and live with the restrictions on movement. We only went out when we needed to buy something or work or seek medical attention. Opposition to these restrictions played out in both social and mainstream media and the resulting fiery exchange carried over to the vaccination campaign with charged verbal tussles between the pros and antis.

And it is without a doubt that the government cannot do it alone even if it imposes martial law to stop the pandemic. It needs the people to protect themselves through their faithful, consistent compliance to minimum public health standards. This obvious reminder is sadly ignored and even outrightly defied by some Filipinos who think they can always run to the government whenever they get sick and expect to be served head to foot. ********* Anyway the connection between the Philippines’ lamentable Internet infrastructure and the COVID-19 pandemic lies in how it can service Filipinos without

Susan Palmes-Dennis

sacrificing compliance to public health standards.

And online transactions and services are the way to go in ensuring zero contact which can only be possible through a good WiFi connection.

My relative in Tagoloan town had to go to the Social Security System (SSS) office and the FICCO cooperative office in Cagayan de Oro City in person to settle payments because the SSS website is unreliable and FICCO doesn’t have an online presence.

Physical distancing is impossible under these circumstances. And there’s the tendency by people to rush straight into a crowd to finish their transactions or avail of promotional sales gimmicks. So why can’t SSS upgrade their systems so people can do their transactions with them efficiently and conveniently? What exactly is their problem? And the SSS should do something to solve this even if there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that the pandemic ends tomorrow.

Speaking Out

Enter the new BPI chief

A new face, but a familiar one. Last April 22, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) welcomed Jose Teodoro “TG” Limcaoco as its new president and CEO. The new chief is no stranger to the bank. Prior to his new role in BPI, TG Limcaoco served as Ayala’s chief financial officer, chief risk officer, and chief sustainability officer. He previously served as executive vice president of BPI, became president of BPI Capital in 2007, president of BPI Family Savings Bank in 2010, and board member of BPI in 2019. He was also responsible for BPI’s insurance businesses, Ayala Life and Ayala Plans, and had oversight over BPI Philam and BPI/MS Insurance Corporation.

TG succeeds Cezar “Bong” P. Consing, who has retired after successfully steering BPI for the last eight years towards its position today as the second largest bank in the country in terms of market capitalization, a leader in digital banking in terms of users and transactions, and one of only two Philippine companies with a BBB+ credit rating from Standard & Poor’s.

Transitioning from response to recovery, TG laid down five key imperatives that will drive the bank to achieve more for the Filipino

people: turn BPI into the undisputed leader in digital banking services, create a greater SME and consumer share in its loan book, close the gap in funding leadership, refocus branches as sales points and not only as service points for customers, and further promote sustainable banking.

TG is known in the industry as someone who is deeply passionate about financial education. “The bank is an important part of the economy and we need to do our share. As a banker, I believe it is our mission to help people achieve financial wellness and progress by providing the appropriate tools and advice.”

Another priority for the new BPI head is elevating customer service and experience. He said that a banker needs to “put yourself in the shoes of the customer” to enhance your customer’s experience, with digitalization as an enabler to achieve this end. “We need to be very focused on the customer, on their experience with us, through our digital platforms and our branches. We will build on the trust of the clients through every touchpoint they have with us.”

BPI remains a pioneer in digital banking and financial inclusion in the country, and the new BPI chief hopes to

push this further through his strategic priorities. “This laser focus on the customer is paramount to achieve a more financially inclusive and better Philippines.”

Looking after the financial well-being of people With all these strategies, what I find interesting, too, is that TG considers this as his dream job. “As I was growing up, I was very interested in banking. I’m a mathematician at heart. And as I said, I think a banker’s mission is to educate people. It’s not about just taking deposits or making the loan, but it’s about teaching people about financial well-being, making them comfortable about their economic situation, and making the best out of it. I’m very grateful to be given the chance to lead an institution as great as BPI.” In addition to being a mathematician at heart, BPI’s new head is also a family man. And he doesn’t mind sharing the same family-first mindset with his people. “I think in the end, your passion is really See CHIEF, page 8

The History of Iligan City National High School

By IRISH ALIZA CLARIDO QUIDLAT Iligan Medical Center College/MSU-IIT

This paper is all about the history of iligan City National High School from 1996-2016. In conducting the study.

The researchers used archival, secondary source materials and government documents supplemented with oral and phone interviews.

Photo documentation of the study is taken into consideration in order to supplement the data needed.

Key informants and respondents are alumna, students, parents, residents of Barangay Mahayahay, local government official and school officials such as the principal, teachers , and staff. They were consulted to corroborate the existing accounts.

The inquiry of this paper is focused on the history of the school, its curriculum, the K-12 preparation and the school contemporary situation towards the future.

The school started in 1945 as junior high school (JHS) it was the first secondary school in Iligan which was later renamed to Lanao Technical School (LTS) and again renamed as Iligan Institute of Technology (IIT) located at Andres Bonifacio Avenue Tibanga Iligan City.

In response to a strong public clamor, a new school known as Iligan City High School (ICHS) was established in July 1963 under Resolution No. 78 that propose for the opening of a general secondary curriculum.

In 1984 Iligan City High School was transformed into Iligan City National High School. From its founding, (ICNHS) encountered various problems and challenges.

One of these would be the increasing number of the student every year due to its cheap tuition fee. Nevertheless, ICNHS continues to develop as a premier public secondary school in Iligan City.

expand Senate Bill 1104 which she filed in 2019, to now include more groups eligible for early voting.

Marcos stressed that the Comelec is pressed for time to adopt new election measures amid a pervading health crisis, including more accessible polling precincts for the elderly, pregnant, and disabled; transportation for IPs living in remote mountainous areas; and new outdoor voting venues that comply with pandemic-related restrictions.

“Preserving health and safety calls for alternatives to the usual cramped classrooms.

We can prevent the spread of infection by using stadiums, auditoriums, multi-purpose halls, even covered elevated parking lots in malls,” Marcos said.

“So many issues need to be resolved by Comelec less than six months to the filing of candidacy in October. Let’s provide the budget to put the necessary measures and manpower in place, and soon,” Marcos said, citing that the work shift of teachers alone may need to be doubled.

If Marcos’s bill is approved, voters eligible for early voting can cast their ballots two to 30 calendar days before the election date set for the general public.

Marcos also said that mailin voting should be piloted even on a small scale, since the Philippine Postal Corporation has said it can do so with the recent upgrade of its computer system.

And now I join them in thanking the government for making their dream a reality. We in the local government will continue to share the same hopes and dreams in order to achieve lasting peace,” the mayor said. (RLRB/PIA Bukidnon)

Again, government and the private sector should work together to extend these services to their constituents and customers. The SSS online system had been set up but it isn’t adequate to enable their members to finish transactions with them online and at the convenience of their homes. Especially now when the pandemic is far from over and the virus that originally came from Wuhan, China (as emphasized repeatedly by Chris Helms of Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina who refuses to budge from that belief) is mutating to other variants. ********* I’m also reading up on the efforts made by Cagayan de Oro City Hall under Mayor Oscar Moreno’s administration to protect the city’s medical frontliners and hospitals from being overwhelmed by the surge of COVID-19 cases and to say that they’re doing a most commendable job is an understatement however which way the mayor’s bashers want to belittle and ridicule them. Believe me, these bashers and their political patrons are scraping the bottom of the barrels for any weapon they can use against Mayor Moreno.

The latest of their attacks reached national media attention courtesy of a female COVID-19 positive patient who complained about the food being served to her

by City Hall’s providers and City Hall’s strict policies against cooked food delivery to the city’s isolation facilities. Suffice it to say that while Mayor Moreno more than justified their rationale behind prohibiting cooked food deliveries by outsiders to city isolation facilities (it would increase the risk of infection) there are still those who fail to see the logic behind the policy.

It’s quite exhausting having to read the obviously staged and

scripted rants of these bashers, not a few of whom are employed and paid for by the discredited political opposition whose top leader thought to purchase a fleet of new vehicles as a solution to containing the COVID-19 pandemic. Never mind that it’s the city’s hospitals, the city-owned JR Borja General Hospital (JRBGH) and the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) that’s been doing the heavy lifting as far as housing and containing the positive cases in the city and Region 10 are concerned.

Chief... from page 4

what you live life for, right? I’ve always felt that the one mission of people in their lives is to take care of their families. I hold that very true and very dear. Because the family is number one in my book, and it will always be. I never hold it against anyone who puts their family first over their job, because I think that’s the most important.”

And as he settles into his new role as BPI’s President and CEO, he is further encouraged by having his family’s full support. “As my kids say, ‘Papa, you’ve finally gotten your dream job.’”

To the new BPI chief, congratulations. With your leadership, guidance and key imperatives, we look forward to seeing the bank prosper, continuously improve to become the trusted everyday bank of every Filipino, and come closer to realizing its vision of building a better Philippines.

Taguig City response to COVID 19 As soon as the government started to roll out its vaccination program, I resolved to have all the members of my family and the household to be vaccinated. There have been reports of the varying efficacy rates among the different drugs but I was not choosy. I would take whatever is FDA-approved and available, thinking it would better to have some degree of immunity rather than none at all.

I enrolled myself and my dependents under the Ayala Vaccination and Immunization Program but I was open to other options whichever become available first. Eventually, my daughter Trisha and I received our first jabs from the Muntinlupa city health office. My other children, Dondi and Frannie, however, have to wait in line.

The problem was my wife Mira who is bedridden. It is physically impossible for her to go to the vaccination center. Fortunately, I heard about the home vaccination program of the Taguig City government. A quick call to Mayor Lino Cayetano, and Dr. Glenda Latorre of the Taguig City Health Office immediately came over to our condo at BGC to give Mira her first Sinovac injection.

Thank you, Mayor Lino Cayetano, for initiating a home vaccination program for residents of your wonderful city.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DIFFICULTIES IN MATHEMATICS

When it comes to learning Mathematics, it is commonly assumed that highly motivated students are more likely to achieve and perform at higher levels than less motivated students. Furthermore, students’ motivation to learn Mathematics is thought to be related to their levels of Mathematics self-efficacy and anxiety. Students who are more confident in their mathematical abilities and have less anxiety about mathematics are more motivated to learn and thus succeed in mathematics. In other words, regardless of the objective value of an activity or topic, if students do not recognize its value, they may not be motivated to exert effort. However, the more clearly students see how coursework connects to their goals, interests, and concerns, the more they will value it and be motivated to invest time and effort in it ((http:// goo.gl/CSxIXd). Students who are afraid of going to a specific class every day are likely to interpret their apprehension as a lack of skill in that area. In general, improving students’ physical and emotional well-being and decreasing negative emotional states boosts self-efficacy.

Because motivation is so complex, there are numerous approaches to investigating an individual’s motivation to learn Mathematics.

One of the most common ways to think about motivation is as either extrinsic or intrinsic. When an individual is motivated to complete a task by a factor that is external to the task, this is referred to as extrinsic motivation. Students in school may be motivated to study for tests in order to receive a good grade. Intrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is when an individual’s motivation stems from the task itself.

In school, this occurs when students are motivated to study for a test because they gain satisfaction from overcoming academic challenges.

Furthermore, self-efficacy

is central to psychologist Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory.

Bandura’s theory emphasizes the importance of observational learning, social experience, and reciprocal determinism in the development of personality. The self-system, according to Bandura, is comprised of a person’s attitudes, abilities, and cognitive skills. This system has a significant impact on how people perceive situations and behave in response to them. Additionally, he defines self-efficacy as “belief in one’s ability to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations.”

In other words, self-efficacy is a person’s confidence in his or her ability to succeed in a given situation. Also, Bandura describes these beliefs as factors that influence how people think, behave, and feel (1986). Aside from that, he (1997) hypothesizes that emotional and physiological states such as anxiety, stress, fatigue, and mood influence self-efficacy beliefs. As a result, students learn to interpret their physiological arousal as an indicator of personal competence by assessing their own performance under various conditions. Strong emotional reactions to school-related tasks can indicate whether or not the task is likely to succeed. Anxiety can have a negative impact on selfefficacy. Furthermore, factors from the student’s home environment and society influence their attitude toward mathematics. Factors such as parental educational background, occupation, and parental expectations all have a significant impact on students’ attitudes toward mathematics. Students’ attitudes toward mathematics vary as a result of these various factors. More often, the public image of mathematics is labelling it as a difficult, cold, abstract, theoretical and ultrarational subject (Mohamed and Waheed, 2011).

Mathematics is one of the compulsory subjects for all levels of education, primary, secondary, and higher education.

This lesson is often regarded by some students as complicated, even scary. This certainly cannot be separated from the material element, which contains numbers and symbols with a variety of formulas (Lilian, 2018). So, it is often considered as a boring lesson by students.

Thus, the student’s motivation to follow this lesson will be so low that it affects the cognitive and psychomotor aspects of the student in this lesson.

ing face-to-face instruction, blended learning, distance learning, homeschooling, and apprenticeship (DepEd LCP, 2020). Distance learning is the ideal mode of delivery when face-to-face interaction is not permitted. There are options for doing distance learning; the online, the modular or a blended learning. In the case of areas where stable internet connection is not possible, a modular mode of learning is applicable.

In the modular learning, students will be equipped with self-learning modules. In this mode, students will be left in their own, with the support of their guardians or somebody on their households. With limited assistance from their teachers,

learners, particularly those who are not independent learners will have a hard time in responding to the modules. In this connection, instructional videos in mathematics can be used to facilitate mathematics’ learning. But learners cannot use the instructional videos because majority of them do not have the capacity to go online.

Cell phones are now widely used by most secondary school students in both public and private schools. This device can store a variety of document formats, including portable document formats, images, and audiovisuals. These smart phones can be used as a platform to view instructional videos created by teachers.

Wearing face masks and maintaining social and physical distances is the new trend.

This demonstrates the impact of the pandemic on individual’s day-to-day activities.

The pandemic has an effect on education as well; traditional face-to-face instruction will be rendered obsolete in some areas (DepEd LCP, 2020). With these, the alternative delivery mode will be adapted to ensure that schools can provide equitable, culturally relevant, and quality education to their students, as stipulated in the mission of the Department of Education of the Philippines.

Public Health England, an operationally autonomous executive agency of the UK Department of Health, said that e-cigarettes are at least 95-percent less harmful to humans than combustible tobacco.

According to Hajek, nicotine is poorly understood globally including in the Philippines. “Nicotine seems addictive when combined with other tobacco chemicals, but much less so when on its own.

Adolescent non-smokers who try cigarettes have over 50-percent probability that they will progress to daily smoking, but adolescent non-smokers who try e-cigarettes very rarely progress to daily vaping,” he said.

“People do not get hooked on nicotine gum or patches.

But while nicotine on its own seems unattractive to nonsmokers, it can be rewarding to smokers who are already habituated to it. In this way, such products help smokers quit,” he said.

Hajek said the problem with smoking is not nicotine, but the smoke that causes cancer, heart disease and lung disease.

Saturday, May 29, 2021 “We have no problems with almost everyone drinking coffee, even if such use is daily, compulsive, and in many people could be labeled as ‘addictive’. In the same way, there is no issue with some smokers continuing to use nicotine, if health risks of such use are small,” he said.

To reduce the health risks from smoking, authorities in the Philippines and other countries should encourage smokers to switch to less harmful, smoke-free nicotine products such as e-cigarettes and snus, Hajek recommended.

“As long as cigarettes are freely available, Philippine legislators should try to make the less harmful nicotine products as attractive to smokers as possible, so that more smokers are encouraged to switch. Such products should be cheaper, more easily available, and accompanied by less restrictions and stigma,” he said.

A February 2019 clinical trial by UK’s National Institute for Health Research found that e-cigarette was twice as effective as nicotine replacement treatments such as patches and gum at helping smokers quit.

Hajek said questions about the safety of e-cigarettes emerged last year with acute lung injuries reported among users of e-cigarettes in the USA. This however turned out to be due to contaminants in illegal marijuana products, and not related to nicotine vaping.

The Hot Zone episode featured the emergency room and Intensive Care Units of one of the COVID-19 referral hospitals, the East Avenue Medical Center (EAMC) in Quezon City, considered one of the most dangerous places in the country at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the high possibility of exposure to the virus.

The episode shows where the severe and critical COVID-19 patients were admitted and treated. It highlighted how COVID-19 patients fought for their lives and how selfless healthcare workers risk their lives to fight the dreaded virus.

Aside from the view on the individuals’ personal struggle under the precarious environment of the pandemic, the documentary showcased the actions of the national government in addressing the rising cases of COVID-19 which include the increasing of treatment and isolation facilities in the country, as part of the national COVID-19 response strategy.

IDC Extends its Help to the Community in Bulacan THE coronavirus pandemic is leaving millions of people sick, unemployed, and struggling to make ends meet. Thankfully, there are many things we can do to help make a difference in our community. From volunteering to supporting local establishments, there are a variety of opportunities to help those in need during this difficult time.

“As members of our community, it is our responsibility to take initiative in providing assistance to communities that are in need.

We need to take action now” said Ms. Mary Ann Lopez,

IDC VP for Finance and Administration.

True to its company mission, IDC had been conducting monthly CSR activities in various localities in Cagayan de Oro and Sto. Tomas Batangas.
