DSWD-10 warns brgy politicians not to use government doleouts C

AGAYAN de Oro City--Department of Social Welfare and Development, Region 10 (DSWD-10) Director Nestor Ramos warned barangay officials yesterday from taking advantage of government doleouts to lure their constituents into reelecting them. This, as Ramos said during a press conference chair yesterday that they have received reports that some barangay chairmen are spreading falsely that only their supporters will be renewed doleouts. DSWD has a wide range of doleouts to indigents from Pantawid Pamilya to unconditional cash transfers to conditional cash transfers,

among others. Ramos reiterated that only DSWD can delist any beneficiary from these programs. “The household can only been removed from the program if it does not comply with the program conditions,” he explained. Ramos’ remarks came at a time when the agency See warns, page 11

BSP cites New Generation Currency Coins ‘matibay, maganda, mahalaga’

"The new generation currency coin series are matibay, maganda, at mahalaga (durable, beautiful, and valuable)," says Dexter Demafeliz, senior research specialist of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas – Cagayan de Oro Branch in an interview on April 25. (Janina Jajalla/PIA10 intern)

The new generation currency coin series are matibay, maganda, at mahalaga (durable, beautiful, and valuable). Thus said Dexter Demafeliz, senior research specialist of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas – Cagayan de Oro Branch in an interview on April 25. Armed with enhanced security features, the New G e n e r at i on Cu r re n c y (NGC) coin series comprised of 10-piso, 5-piso, 1-piso, 25-sentimo, 5-sentimo and 1-sentimo, have been circulated to the public

mittee and the Numismatic Committee. This was then approved by the President upon the recommendation of the Monetary Board. As for the existing BSP coin series, Demafeliz said that they will remain legal tender and "can still be used in purchasing goods and services alongside the NGC coin series," until such time the BSP calls for their demonetization. In terms of the difference between the existing BSP coin series and the new generation coins, Demafeliz said that there are only

starting this year. Demafeliz unveiled in his statement that the new generation coins are made in metallic silver to address discoloration concerns, they are also made of durable nickel - plated steel, which is said to improve wear and corrosion resistance capabilities, and also prevents counterfeiters from hoarding the coins or doing illegal extraction. He said that the process of NGC was done thoroughly by two expert committees from the BSP - the Currency Management Com-

To address the issue with regards to the new 5-piso coin and the existing 1-piso from the BSP coin series, in which perceived by the public as confusing for having quiet resemblance, Demafeliz defended and said that there are differences and it takes just a little familiarization to easily detect the coins. To alleviate confusion, he explained that the new See bsp, page 11

Further, the forum aims to bring NIA closer to the stakeholders’ especially the farmers whom they partner with; to gather feedback, reports and recommendations to further improve NIA’s services; and to establish good relations with the stakeholders.

EO vs. ‘endo’ proof of gov’t commitment to workers: Bello D

EPARTMENT of L abor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello III on Tuesday thanked President Ro drigo R . Duterte for signing the Executive Order (EO) ending all forms of illegal contractualization. “We would like to thank the President for fulfilling his commitment to the Filipino workingmen. His gesture is a heartening gift to the workers on Labor Day,” said Bello in a

statement issued Tuesday afternoon after the President announced that he signed the EO during the Labor Day celebration in Cebu City. Bello said the signing of the order only proves that the government is serious in stopping contractualization. “The signing by President Duterte of the EO spells clearly the policy of his government to fully end illegal contracting and subcontracting practices,”

he said. “Ito ang kanyang paraan ng pagbibigay pugay sa manggagawang Pilipino, ang dangal ng ating lahi at kabalikat ng pamahalaan tungo sa pagbabago (This is his way to pay homage to the Filipino worker -- the dignity of our race and the partner of the government to positive change),” he added. Me anw hi le, s e vera l labor groups expressed disappointment over the signing of the EO.

"We felt we were taken for a ride. There was no consultation with our 5th draft submitted to the Office of the President through the Labor Secretary last April 13. The EO that was signed definitely is an EO for the employers not for the workers. We will not waver, we will continue to fight to give justice to workers affected by the widespread contractualization of labor,” said Rene Magtubo, Partido Manggagawa chairperson

and Nagkaisa spokesperson. “If President Digong wanted to fulfill his promise of ending 'endo', he should have signed the 5th draft of the workers’ EO that would make direct hiring of workers to principal employers a norm in employment relations of his administration," Magtubo said, claiming that the President "broke his promise and betrayed the workers." SE N T RO S e c re t ar y

General Josua Mata said the President signed the EO which is "essentially" the draft version of the Department of Trade and Industry and not that was submitted to him by the workers. “It merely reiterated the current regulatory policy that has failed to prevent the malignant spread of contractualization. Once again, Mr. Duterte showed who’s side he is on -- with the employers,” he added.

Crying out loud for equity

Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A world of optimism and hope. A 'can do spirit' when things are tough. --Richard M. DeVos Mindanaoans are crying out loud for Imperial Manila to heed the call of economic equity (read: equal distribution of wealth) to regional growth centers like Cagayan de Oro and the rest of the island’s emerging key cities. But with an iota of doubt, Mindanao’s clarion call for economic prosperity may turn out doomed at the very start. Not until Imperial Manila’s superiority complex is squashed, the so-called emerging opportunities for Mindanao may come, but in trickles, and may be in measly drops of the manna from heaven, or just a slice of the country’s economic pie. Not until the national government shall be able to

take cognition of its dismal failure to spread the gospel of growth with equity, Mindanao shall always be in the map of the forgotten and the abandoned. From developing the vast fertile lands to improving infrastructure facilities to providing jobs to the jobless, to uplifting health and education sectors, name it, these are what Mindanaoans, since time immemorial have been clamoring to high heavens to come down on them, sooner, not later. Mindanaoans like me (I was born and raised in M’lang, North Cotabato, Secretary Manny Pinol’s turf) hasn’t seen real progress per se. What we still have is a land of wars and conflict. A land being used as dumping site of scalawags of men in uniform, a land badly beaten by corrupt and abusive national government.

This island being rich in natural resources makes the economy of Imperial Manila richer and in shape, thanks but no thanks to Mindanao’s fat contribution to the national coffer. While Mindanao holds an incredible wealth to brag about, yet it continues to spawn dark moments of truth. And the recent pronouncement of Malacanang to make Mindanao a land reform area is nothing but pure and simple rhetoric. Mindanao is always beset with news about clan wars, religious overtones, terrorism, kidnappings by the dreaded abu sayyaf, piracy, political dynasties, corruption, poverty, regular clashes and killings are some of the worst scenes elsewhere in the island. Along with these grim scenarios, the island stalks with hunger. Mindanao has the highest poverty incidence

Ruffy Magbanua

of 23 percent. But despite the corruption, threat, killings, and poverty Mindanaoans face, they remain to be strong and resilient people as it were. Sadly, all we hear for now are endless debates on Federalism, political alignments, fast-tracking of “build, build, build” program in Metro Manila and elsewhere in Luzon, and all the fake news around. Emerging opportunities for Mindanao? Well, there is always that difficulty in every opportunity. But always the optimists, Mindanaoans see an opportunity in every difficulty.

Remember all the new things in life you learned to do that were big risks the first time you did them? Your first time to swim, your first time to ride a bicycle, your first time to drive a car.

leader, Napolean, said: “The word impossible is found only in the dictionary of fools and failures.” So ask yourself: “Is the word impossible in the dictionary of my life?” Do you say “I can’t” more often than you say “I can?” Sometimes “you have to go out on a limb if you want to get the best fruit!” We have to learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable challenges, because we can’t discover new oceans unless we’ve got the courage to lose sight of the shore. We need to believe that the best jobs haven’t been found yet, and the best work hasn’t been done yet. But we can’t have

the life we want if we don’t change the life we have. A successful woman said: “A bad habit never goes away by itself; it’s always an undoit-yourself project.” Smart people sometimes change their minds—but fools never do. So we have to leave our comfort zone if we want to reach a new kind of success. Don’t allow yourself to be buried alive in your comfort zone, like many people do. It’s OK to use your comfort zone to rest in, but not to live in. So after you’ve recharged your energy, leave your comfort zone to move on to your next challenge. Remember, God never puts

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

limits on your faith, so your faith should never put limits on Him. Faith is not afraid of failing; faith is afraid of not even trying. So why not ask Jesus Christ to give you His faith and power to step out and start changing your life today? If you ask Him to take charge, then He will help you fully live your life—before you leave it. Just Think a Minute.

Iligan City will impose Stringent Security Measures T

he city local government has been increasing security measures in resisting with violent extremism. According to an intelligence report that the government has been receiving the local terrorist Maute, ISIS-inspired group, is now aggressively spreading terrorism by recruiting new members of the local terrorist in Lanao del Norte and neighboring municipalities of Lanao del Sur. City Police Director Police Senior Supt. Leony Roy Ga said fragments of the Maute group are reportedly recruiting new members in the neighboring municipalities and is now being headed by Owayda Benito Marohombasar alias Ustadz Huma/ Abdul Najid/ Abu Dar. It has been reported that this group is spreading terroristic activities like kidnapping, harassment, bombing, and assassinations of personalities in the city of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro. According to the AFP, the local terrorist group is widely recruiting individuals, teenagers (High school and college students), Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s), Members of families with “Rido” (Clan Feuds) history, children from orphanages and young professionals. These children

will be brainwashed with doctrines and propaganda in contrary to the real situation such as Islam being under attack, and that the group (Maute) only desire change. They mislead the new recruits saying that those who died and will die in this battle, die martyr, not beggars. Extremists offer hope of love and romance that will appeal to their youthful ideals and adventurous spirits. These terrorists teach the young that the government does not want the Muslims to developed or be settled and that it is the government’s forces who destroyed the Islamic City of Marawi. The Armed Forces of the Philippines, 4th Mechanized Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Mechanized Brigade are initiating strategies in battling forceful extremism. According to the AFP, the said ISIS-inspired group is roaming around Lanao del Sur. Though this hasn’t really reached Iligan city and other neighboring municipalities of Lanao del Norte yet, there are sightings, rumors, and intelligence reports about their existence. The AFP advices that the people should be very vigilant around their communities. The AFP and the local government of Iligan and the province of Lanao del Norte should have con-

crete defenses to safeguard people in areas under their jurisdictions. Members of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People’s Army (NPA) terrorist groups are also cited in most of the remote areas and boundaries of Iligan City. Just recently, the Philippine National Police received a report about 50 communistterrorist members who were fully armed at the forested area of Tikala, the boundary of Tagoloan 2 and Kapai Lanao del Sur. On April this year, five (5) members of the Special Partisan Unit (SPARU) were See security, page 11

Palace welcomes report of increase in employment M

By Jelly Musico

ANIL A -- Malacañang on Wednesday welcomed independent think tank IBON Foundation’s report that the number of employed persons has increased from 39.3 million in January 2017 to 41.8 million in January this year.

“While the number of underemployed and parttime workers grew in 2018 compared to the same period last year, it is noteworthy to mention that the number of employed persons increased to 41.8 million,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a media statement. According to IB ON Foundation, employment rate also rose to 94.7 percent in January 2018 from 93.4 percent in January last year while unemployment rate dropped from 6.6 percent to 5.3 percent. The think tank, however, noted that the number of underemployed grew by 1.1 million. Roque said the government will continue to address and improve the labor situation in the country. Last Sunday, Roque said the government took note of a recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showing adult joblessness at

23.9 percent in March 2018 compared to 15.7 percent in December last year. He said the government remains optimistic to generate more job opportunities with the implementation of the massive infrastructure “Build, Build, Build” program throughout the country. At least 2 million people are reportedly expected to get employment this year for the all-out implementation of the Build, Build, Build. In his speech at the recent Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan, China, President Rodrigo Duterte said the Build, Build, Build program will provide the “solid backbone for growth”. Duterte said over USD69 billion will be spent for the construction of different infrastructure projects until 2022. At least PHP9 trillion will be spent for the implementation of the Build, Build, Build program. (PNA)

MANILA -- Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Benjamin Diokno has announced that the national government is releasing PHP490 million for the rehabilitation of the Boracay Circumferential Road. This is on top of the initial budget of PHP50 million allocated under the 2018 fund of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the same project. “ They already have PHP50 million in the budget, and that is what they are using right now. In a few days, we’ll release the PHP490 million. This is just for the road components,” Diokno told reporters during the “Breakfast with Ben”, a press event of the DBM

chief. The Boracay Circumferential Road rehabilitation involves widening of road and improving the drainage system. Just last week, the DBM released PHP448 million to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for financial assistance to some 17,735 residents and workers who were affected by the six-month closure of Boracay. Diokno said both funds for the DOLE and DPWH were sourced from the government’s contingency fund amounting to about PHP13 billion this year. Aside from the contingency fund, the government is tapping the calamity fund for Boracay’s rehabilitation. “By declaring the area as

DA, Customs foil onion smuggling MANILA -- The Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Bureau of Customs, acting on a tip, foiled the smuggling of onions worth PHP34 million last Monday.

DBM to release P490-M for Boracay road rehab calamity area, we can have access to calamity fund,” he added. Diokno said other government agencies with projects and programs related to Boracay’s rehabilitation are expected to request additional fund from the national government. Earlier, Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez said his office will be seeking some PHP300 million from the Boracay rehabilitation fund to help small-scale enterprises on the island. Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Malacañang is eyeing PHP2 billion from the calamity fund to support the worldfamous island resort’s rehabilitation. (Kris Crismundo/ PNA)

The smuggled onions could have affected the livelihood of thousands of on i on f ar me rs i f it had flooded the market, Ag r i c u ltu re S e c re t ar y Emmanuel F. Piñol, who joined the raiding team -- along with Customs C ommissioner Isidro Lapeña -- said in a news release issued Wednesday. Piñol said apples were u s e d a s c ov e r f or t h e smuggled onion because apples come into the countr y without tarif f, while onions are taxed 35 percent. When Xrayed, apples and onions also have the same shape and size. Some of the vans had apples in the f ront row to conceal the smuggled onions but t he st rong scent of the onion quickly gave away what was inside, he said. E ach cont ainer van had onions worth PHP2 million. With 17 vans seized, the total estimated value of the smuggled pro duce was PHP34 million. Piñol said the seized onions will not b e s old to local consumers and w i l l b e d e s t roy e d b e -

cause some of them still had dir t and ro ots that could b e carr ying dise a s e s t h at c ou l d p o s e danger to lo cal farms. He recalled that foi l i ng t h e s mu g g l i ng atte mpt w a s not e a s y, rel at i ng t hat w he n he and Lapeña went to the International Container Terminal Services comp ound, w here the vans were parked, they were given the runaround by personnel there who g ave m any re a s ons to stop the opening of the vans. " We w e r e m a d e t o wait three hours under the sun before the f irst van was opened," Piñol said. "They also said there was no one around to witness the opening, that there was no driver to bring us to the vans." However, the agriculture chief said he and L ap eña were ready for such delaying tac tics. "The y did not know we have all the time to wait," he added. Piñol said the importers did not give up easily, as a call was made to DA Unders ecret ar y Ariel Cayanan offering a P H P 2 m i l l i on br i b e

for each van s o the DA and the BOC would not op en the vans. "They first offered PHP20,000, and when it was rejected, they raised it to PHP200,000, and then to PHP2 million," C ayanan said. The smugglers, he said, agreed to have the vans opened and would also give PHP2 million p er van, "s o long as S ecretar y Piñol and C ommissioner L ap eña would not be around to witness the op ening." Asked why, Cayanan said this was because the pres ence of Piñol and L ap e ñ a w o u l d at t r a c t media coverage. Piñol said the huge bribes were offered not b ecaus e the y hop ed to earn from the smuggled goods, but to prevent the DA f rom taking ac tion against the imp or ters. He noted that w hile the depar tment cannot file criminal charges against the smugg lers, it could hur t t hem by re vok ing t heir imp or t p ermits. This will b e done as s o o n a s t h e y i d e nt i f y the importers, Piñol said. (DA PR)

‘Disturbed’ Davao cop gunned down by police

AVAO CITY -- A police officer was killed in a shootout with fellow law enforcers on Monday night in front of Ponte Trade Master along Carlos P. Garcia Highway in Buhangin District, this city.

The fatality was identified as SPO1 Roger Padayogdog, who was assigned to the Regional Mobile Force Battalion (RFMB) 11 at Camp Catitipan. Prior to the shootout, Padayogdog had reportedly caused commotion near the establishment over a traffic incident. He

mauled a tricycle driver identified as Ronald Bala, prompting people in the area to call the police for assistance. When the RMFB personnel arrived at the place, Padayogdog fired at them, forcing the responding team to retaliate and shot the police officer.

RFMB personnel later discovered that the person was their own colleague, who was in civilian clothes. In an interview Tuesday, Police Regional Office (PRO) 11 head Chief Supt. Manuel Gaerlan said Padayogdog “appeared to be disturbed during the incident”. “We surmised that he has a problem, psychologically or emotionally, recently,” he said. Gaerlan said the police

reviewed the latest social media posts of Padayogdog and found these to be disturbing as he talked about “satanism.” Gaerlan said that some of his colleagues in the unit also noticed some outlandish changes. However, Gaerlan clarified that Padayogodog has no records from the Regional Health Services (RHS) of PRO 11 that he has been observed with psychological problems. PNA

Police: Labor Day in Davao region peaceful DAVAO CITY – The Police Regional Office (PRO) XI declared the Labor Day celebration as peaceful amid complaints from the militant groups that delegations from Compostela Valley were held at the checkpoints in Barangay Maparat, Nabunturan, Compostela Valley province. “We need to implement proper verification and check all vehicles and passengers coming into Davao City. The PNP (Philippine National Police) is just doing it to ensure everyone’s safety,” said PRO XI spokesperson Chief Insp. Milgrace Driz.

The Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) on Tuesday morning complained that 600 farm workers from Compostela Valley were blocked by police from joining Labor Day rally. KMU accused the police of confiscating the drivers’ licenses of the buses that carried the protesters, claiming they overloaded their vehicles. The workers stopped over instead at Nabunturan Highway, Compostela Valley, at 10:30 am, holding a rally as PNP personnel were deployed against them. An hour later, the protestSee peaceful, page 11

100 cleft lip Davao kids benefit ‘Operation Smile’ DAVAO CITY -- The Operation Smile surgical team is on a mission in Davao City again to bring joy to over a hundred children with cleft lips and palates at the Brokenshire Integrated Hospital Ministries (BIHM). The 48-man surgical mission, which runs until May 4, was made possible through the partnership of Operation Smile, the United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB) and its two clients, Phoenix Petroleum and the construction firm, Ulticon Builders. This is the second in Davao City in five months following the surgical mission last November, in which 35 oral cleft patients were

treated at the Metro Davao Medical and Research Center. This time Operation Smile targets 120 children and young adults. Roberto Manzano, the country director of Development for Operation Smile – Philippines, said the treatment of cleft lips and palates makes a difference in terms of acceptance in the community. Manzano said oral cleft conditions impact on the life of the people, especially children because of selfesteem issues and other negative outcomes such as bullying. These, he said, lead others to drop out of school and grow into adulthood Labor Day (1 May 2018) protesters in Davao City burn an effigy of President Rodrigo Duterte, complete with a moSee smile, page 10

Manzano said that each year there are 5,000 newborn babies with oral cleft. Most of the cleft cases are born to poor families that cannot afford the surgical

cost. Over the years since 1982, Operation Smile has treated 31,904 Filipinos. Of the total number, 16,440 are from Mindanao or 52 percent of the nationwide data. “The free surgery will change their lives dramatically,” said Higinio Macadaeg, the president and CEO of UCPB.

Ramos said the revalidation is done so DSWD could already delist beneficiaries who are not indigents anymore and has nothing to do with thd upcoming barangay elections. Along this line, Ramos warned barangay officials that they are liabls under law if they continue to coerce their constituents using DSWD’s platforms. “DSWD activities under the barangay level such as family development sessions must be conducted according to the set of guidelines of implementing them and should never be used as a venue for political gains,” Ramos said.

ing” in the President’s order that he said was drafted by employers’ group. The labor leader called on the President to junk all forms of contractualization. Duterte said in his speech that he remains firm in his commitment to end “endo” and illegal contractualization. He added that an executive order could only do so much “because you have to change or modify or entirely aggregate some of the provisions.” “Endo” is short for “end of contract” wherein employers let go of workers before their sixth month of service. He stressed that “in order to implement an effective and lasting solution to the problems brought about by contractualization, Congress needs to enact a law amending the Labor Code.” Duterte said that he as already certified as urgent the bill on security of tenure to “to once and for all address the issue and provide long-term solutions that would further strengthen the workers’ right to security of tenure.” Olalo added that there are 40 million laborers in the country, of them 24.4 million are contractual workers, while many more are unsatisfied of their present employment due to low salaries. Data from the Department of Labor and Employment in the Davao Region showed that the region’s employment rate as of January 2018 was 95.3 percent, higher compared to the 94.1 percent recorded in the same period last year. Around 1,000 members of the different militant groups such as the KMU, Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, League of Filipino Students, Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (Piston), Musahamat Workers Labor Union in Pantukan in Comspostela Valley and Kilusan ng Manggagawa ng Coca-Cola (KIMACO) marched starting 2 p.m.

from Magsaysay Park going to Roxas Avenue where they torched an effigy portraying Duterte as the “Workers’ Punisher” riding on his big bike. “This Labor Day, we unmask Duterte for who really is – an economic and political killer whose leadership is characterized by great contempt for the poor and marginalized. On the issue of contractualization for instance, he continues to treat workers with disrespect and insults us with his duplicity,” Olalo said. The labor leader also criticized the Duterte administration for being a “puppet of neoliberalism through enactment of antipoor policies” such as the Tax Reform Acceleration for Inclusion (TRAIN) law implemented early this year and the proposed federalism that “weakens the country’s economic protections and national sovereignty.” Olalo noted that martial law in Mindanao, declared on May 23, 2017 following the armed clashes between government forces and Islamic State-inspired Maute group, escalated the trade union repression and criminalization of legitimate union activities in the region. “Why is Duterte punishing workers who are only asserting their right to fair wages, collective bargaining, and better working conditions, instead of capitalists who circumvent the laws in order to extract superprofits off the sweat and toil of the working class? He is in truth socialist poseur who advocates strongly for neoliberal policies that ultimately benefit the oligarchs and capitalists,” he added. The group also “clamored for an end to intensified militarization and repression of workers’ rights deployed to stamp out dissent and militant unionism.” (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

ernment agencies carefully crafted the list. "If there are any inaccuracies as claimed, we will look into it again, but we assure the public that the concerned agencies exercised due diligence in the validation process," he said. “We have also obtained inputs from our Regional Offices so that the initial figure of 293 was eventually trimmed down to 207 yesterday,” he added. "(PDEA) Director General Aaron Aquino went further by saying that barangay officials who are not in this 207 narco list are not out of the woods yet because we still have 274 in the PDEA watch list for validation," he added. Meanwhile, Aquino said that he is ready to face legal actions that may arise from the release of the narco list. “I don’t care about legal actions. I expected that, and my legal team will deal with it,” he said during last

Thursday, May 3, 2018 Monday press briefing. Aquino said the filing of charges against the officials on the list, which include 90 barangay captains and 117 barangay kagawads, should be expected in a “week or two.” He noted that Bicol Region has the most number with 70 barangay officials, followed by Caraga (Region 13) with 34, Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao with 13 and in National Capital Region (NCR) with 12, from Caloocan, Malabon, Manila, Mandaluyong and Quezon City. Aquino said the announcement of narco list was made ahead of the May 14 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (Youth Council) elections for the public to determine who they are going to vote for in their respective barangays. “Public office is a public trust. The public officials are accountable to the people...It’s fair enough for the people to know what particularly the official is doing,” he said. “This announcement is also supposedly a guide to the public on who to vote for in the upcoming election. For them to be aware and vigilant to choose properly; to elect the candidates who are active on anti-illegal drug campaign and not to vote on people who were involved in illegal drugs,” he added.

teachers with the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes so they can be effective providers of early learning through child-centered (play-based) activities and child-rearing support for the parents. The training was conducted by Dr Roderick M

Aguirre, co-author of the kindergarten curriculum and consultant for the ECCD program of the Philippines. Aguirre shared that SNP program serves children as young as age one, where playing is central to their growth. For him, children learn best through playing games, including singing, storytelling, and art activities. He also emphasized that SNP volunteer-teachers must learn how to employ play as an activity-based technique where learners participate actively and as an opportunity for children to engage using their mental and physical processes. During the three-day training, participants were able to create local-based stories, core word list for children, and transition songs in the mother tongue (Binisaya). They were also given a session on creating materials for various games as well as playing techniques. These materials for playing are commonly found at home, such as empty boxes and water bottles. “[This is] the best training I have ever had in the field of teaching," said Aipsecel Mondelo, SNP volunteerteacher from Upper Kiam-is, Lumbia. "I hope that there would be more training [programs] related to this,” she added. The said event culminated with teaching demonstrations by the SNP volunteer-teachers. (Lea Mae N Caburatan/ XU Comm)
