DSWD-10 targets 856,959 families for Listahanan 3 CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Oct. 13 (PIA)--To update the existing data of the poorest households in the country, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-10 targets to complete the assessment, validation and encoding of 856,959 families in the region for Listahanan 3 by the end of this year.

“Ang target nga mahuman ang assessement, validation ug encoding is by the end of this year. Mga 16.1 milion target sa tibuok Pilipinas, 856,959 families sa Region 10. Muabot na sa 892,815 ang naassess sa DSWD-10,” Information Officer Charmaine Tadlas said during the NorMin COVID-19 Response Task Force Press Conference, October 13.

(The completion of assessment, validation and encoding is targeted by the end of this year. There are about 16.1 million target families in the Philippines of which 856,959 are targeted in Region 10.

DSWD-10 has already assessed 892,815 families) The information officer added that the enumerators will interview the head of the family to obtain their profile including their educational attainment and family situation.

The enumerator will also obtain information as to the members of the family who belong to the vulnerable sector such as the senior citizens, persons with disability, and solo parents.

For those who are not available during the assessment, Tadlas said the

families could use the On Demand application and they will just wait for the date and time that will be scheduled by DSWD-10 for assessment.

Tadlas stressed that the On Demand app will only be available for use after the completion of the assessment, validation and encoding.

Even if the families are already included in the Listahanan 3, Tadlas said they are not automatically considered as beneficiaries of DSWD’s social protection programs.

“Ang pag-generate sa data tumong makita kung kinsa ang pinakakabos, kung aha sila. I-share dayon ni sa local government units, national government agencies, ug civil society organizations kung duna sila’y mga social protection programs. Aron makaidentify sila sa potential beneficiaries,” Tadlas added.

(The data generated will only determine the poorest households and where they are located. The data will be shared to local government units, national government agencies, and civil society organizations if ever they have social protection programs. So they can also identify their potential beneficiaries) Listahan is an information management system that identifies who and where the poor are, making available a database of poor families as a reference in identifying potential beneficiaries of social protection programs.

Oroquieta SK eyes negosyo project, tutorial services amid pandemic OROQUIETA CITY, Misamis Occidental, Oct. 12 (PIA)—To boost youth participation in Oroquieta City amid the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic, the Sangguniang Kabataan Federation of Oroquieta will implement the negosyo project and provide tutorial services to learners.

During the Network Briefing News, October 12, SK Vice President Graciel Khen Ocaya said the SK Federation in Oroquieta organized a “Capital sa Negosyo” contest where the youth can submit their business proposal for possible funding.

“We distributed relief goods but our council noticed that this is not sustainable because we cannot just give goods all the time. We thought of youth projects that will help them in the long run,” Ocaya said.

Capital sa Negosyo is open for youth aged 15-30 years old in the city.

“With these business proposals, we will pick the top three winners and we will give a prize to whoever will win so they can start their own business,” Ocaya added.

Ocaya also shared the programs and projects in Poblacion 1, and SK Federation in Oroquieta City saying, “In our barangay,

we have many ongoing programs. One is the provision of tutorial services to our youth. Modular learning is being used here because some houses are not reached by wi-fi, so assistance is needed because some parents are not capable of teaching,” Ocaya added.

SK Federation in Oro-

quieta City will also organize online tutorial services for the children since the classes have started and most of the students opted for modular learning.

Furthermore, Ocaya urged the youth to help the government and to disseminate the right information to combat COVID-19. (SMRN/ PIA Misamis Occidental)

Cooperate with PhilSys enumerators, PSA tells residents

By JUDY QUIROS, PNA

DAVAO CITY – Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Davao Region Director Pepito Amoyen appealed for the cooperation of residents in the ongoing house-tohouse pre-registration for the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).

Enumerators from the PSA have started interviewing heads of families in the region on basic data that will be integrated using the systems integrator prior to its final printing.

“I am asking for your full cooperation in answering the enumerators about your demographic data for encoding,” Amoyen told residents in an interview with GMA-Davao on Tuesday.

The pre-registration is being done to fast track the actual registration process on November.

PSA is targeting to complete the PhilSys registration for low income families by December this year.

“The residents’ cooperation is needed so we can beat the November target to complete the registration process,” Amoyen said.

Amoyen made the call after receiving reports that some residents are hesitant to provide basic information about their identities for fear of being profiled.

He said PSA-Davao is targeting to interview some 35-37 heads of families daily for the PhilSys pre-registration.

Cooperatives Celebrate Cooperative Month CARRYING the theme, “Cooperatives Amidst the Pandemic: Stand for Resiliency, Strive for Sustainability,” the 18,4381 active cooperatives nation-wide with some 11,600,000 members are joining hands, serving notice to one and all that they have awakened and through their collective efforts, they will win back the future for their children!

October is their month and will therefore carry-out activities to put cooperativism in the public imagination and consciousness, anchored on the truism that cooperativism is the only democratic process now that can liberate the people from the pangs of hunger and poverty.

October is the month of the poor and the hungry as it reels-off punctuated with important celebrations that put to the fore issues of poverty and hunger and what are being done to resolve these pressing issues by mobilizing their collective potentials, energies and experiences. Amidst the pandemic, the cooperatives are indeed rising for resiliency and standing for sustainability.

October 16 is World Food Day by virtue of a United Nation’s Resolution

while October 17 is the Day for Overcoming Extreme Poverty. October is also the month of the Indigenous Peoples. By virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 493, October has been declared as Cooperative Month. This was reinforced by a recent law declaring October as the National Cooperative Month Celebration. It is a wonderful coincidence that all of the above mentioned celebrations fall together in the same month as these events are inextricably linked and the issues they carry are very much inter-related.

This month is the apt time for all of us to pause and reflect on issues of poverty and hunger not only nationally but also globally.

As embodied in the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, all the nations in the world have targeted the eradication of poverty as their number one priority.

This is so because out of the 4.8 billion people in the developing countries, 1.5 billion live on less than $1/day; 2.8 billion on less than $2/day. Close to 821 million people struggle to meet their basic food need requirements on daily basis. Each year, 15 million

people die of poverty related causes, most are children.

As stated by development experts, “despite years, efforts and funds to fight it, abject poverty continues to afflict our country such that it has become second skin to more than a third of our people.” But this time, social change has come under the Present Dispensation. We are now making significant headways in improving our quality of life to debunk poverty by harnessing the collective power of the people through cooperativism.

Poverty is one of the main culprits behind the sad tale that is told too much too often – “the thief to many a child’s dreams.”

We have to reverse the poverty trend which is worse in Mindanao that is suffering high poverty gap ratios than the rest of the country.

In fact, 14 of the poorest provinces in the country are found in Mindanao. This is a great paradox in an island that has been described as “food basket,” and where 2/3 of total exports are coming from.

The spirit of cooperativism shines through amidst See CELEBRATE, page 11

Have my say

Leave me alone!

LEAVE me alone! Give me a break! I can be a reluctant socialiser. Or should I better say I could. Nowadays, with Covid-19, everything becomes different. In the past, sometimes I was secretly pleased when social plans were called off. I got restless a few hours into a hangout. Maybe, I would not be invited any more.

Or not such often... . I even once went on a free 10-day silent meditation retreat – not for the meditation, but for the silence. No matter if staying in the Philippines, in Germany or somewhere else.

So I can relate to author Anneli Rufus, who recounted in Party of One: The Loners’ Manifesto: “When parents on TV shows punished their kids by ordering them to go to their rooms, I was confused. I loved my room. Being there behind a locked door was a treat. To me a punishment was being ordered to play Yahtzee with my cousin Louis.” Being a little boy, “my room” was really my castle.

Several years ago in one of my write-ups, I wrote about loneliness or in other words: splendid isolation.

My last week’s write-up at this corner was entitled “The Only Lonely”.

Wanting to be alone: social tendencies like these

are often far from ideal.

Abundant research shows the harms of social isolation, considered a serious public health problem in countries that have rapidly ageing populations (though talk of a ‘loneliness epidemic’ may be overblown). In the UK, the Royal College of General Practitioners says that loneliness has the same risk level for premature death as diabetes. Strong social connections are important for cognitive functioning, motor function and a smoothly running immune system.

This is especially clear from cases of extreme social isolation. Examples of people kept in captivity, children kept isolated in abusive orphanages, and prisoners kept in solitary confinement all show how prolonged solitude can lead to hallucinations and other forms of mental instability.

But these are severe and involuntary cases of aloneness. For those of us who just prefer plenty of alone time, emerging research suggests some good news: there are upsides to being reclusive – for both our work lives and our emotional well-being.

Social anxiety (please check out my previous columns here!) is the single most common psychological problem according to in-

Klaus Doring

numerable survey results worldwide. The magnificent, gorgeous and excellent isolation, resulting from being nervous when meeting people is really the opposite. The state of being isolated reminds me of being in a hospital with an infectious disease. Easy to say nowadays ... .

A recent vindication of these ideas came from University at Buffalo psychologist Julie Bowker, who researches social withdrawal.

Social withdrawal usually is categorised into three types: shyness caused by fear or anxiety; avoidance, from a dislike of socialising; and unsociability, from a preference for solitude.

There is gender and cultural variation, of course.

For instance, some research suggests that unsociable children in China have more interpersonal and academic problems than unsociable kids in the West. Bowker says that these differences are narrowing as the world becomes more globalized.

Still, it turns out that See ALONE, page 11

Sara Duterte reimposes curfew, liquor ban in Davao City D

By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV, MindaNews

AVAO C I T Y – Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte has ordered the reimposition of the curfew and liquor ban, from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting October 15 to December 31, 2020, amid the surge in the number of confirmed coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in the city.

During her live interview over the Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5) on Monday, Duterte said that the curfew must be reimposed to restrict the non-essential activities of the people.

“We are trying to shorten the time wherein the people could do extracurricular activities other than their work,” she said.

She said the local government needed to take a drastic move to put the transmission of the highly contagious virus under control because the CO-

VID-19 isolation ward of the Southern Philippines Medical Center is almost full.

In restoring the curfew, Duterte explained that she anticipates that more people will go out during the holiday season.

“We expect an increase during the holiday season because this is the time when the people are in a celebratory mood. We are on a (virus) surge right now. Add to that the holiday celebration, we will drown,” she said.

As of October 12, the Department of Health – Davao reported 3,610 cases in the region with 2,801 recoveries and 118 deaths.

Of the total cases, 2,363 were reported in Davao City, 391 in Davao del Norte, 285 in Davao Oriental, 242 in Davao de Oro, 241 in Davao del Sur and 88 in Davao Occidental.

Learning in a Special Box

By DOROTHY JOY J. GEMARINO, MARIA RJ M. MARIACA, SHEBA MAE A. EUROPA SPED-CDO, East City Central School

Can learning takes place anywhere and everywhere to a child with special needs? Can special Education cope up in this new normal of teaching and learning process? these are some of the questions that somehow push the special education teachers of East City Central School to go on an extra mile in preparing a not so typical “paper and pen” type of modality in Distance Learning. The pandemic gives teachers, parents, and students the most crucial and the most challenging academic year, especially in the field of special education.

The biggest challenge now in this field of education is how to make learning as meaningful as possible to the learners with special needs with minimal to no face to face interaction.

The SPED teachers in East City Central School are inspired by the system of Maya Forest Pre- School on how they deliver Learning modalities to their students during this pandemic. Where they bring the school system to their students’ individual house through a Learning Box. The ECCS SPED teachers were inspired to innovate distance learning kit for the SPED students, where the learning materials are suited according to the needs of

each student.

What makes this distance learning kit special? Instead of giving the students with just plain modules, the teachers include teacher-made instructional materials and activity sheets that can help students develop individually their critical thinking, fine motor skills, gross motor skills and social skills even when they are at home. New sets of Instruction Material are being place inside the kits every after two weeks for this is the time allotted given in each sets of learning activities. The kits were also designed to help parents to have a smooth and easy transition of home schooling for their children. Parents and parateachers were given orientation on how to use the materials inside the kit.

The ECCS SPED community aims to provide wholistic learning to our students and continue to strive and engage our children to learn further and be educated, despite of the pandemic. The ECCS SPED Teachers are thankful to the School Administration headed by the lead principal Edgardo O. Yañez, Community Stakeholders, and SPED parents for their unending support which led to the success of the schools very own Distance Learning Kit.

Order (EO) 55, which was released on Monday, prohibits the selling of liquors and orders “sarisari” stores to close within the curfew period.

The individuals who are exempted from the curfew include workers from government offices and private establishments; medical doctors and veterinarians; workers of public utility companies such as energy, water and internet conducting construction, maintenance or emergency activities;

those in subsistence and business fishing activities; individuals attending the wake of a family member; and all persons in medical, emergency and disaster cases.

Duterte said she is set to issue another order expanding the exemptions provided in EO 55.

She said that exempted individuals are required to present, during inspection on the streets or at checkpoints, their identification cards that they are from establishments or offices

New Normal Education

By MARY JOY S. VILLANUEVA TEACHER I EL SALVADOR CITY CENTRAL SCOOL

New normal set up requires us to unlearn what we have always known, the rows of desks, heavy bags, mass lectures, discussions, quizzes and exams.

In some places with slow internet connectivity, they go for blended learning system.

Public and private schools were to implement flexible learning as an alternative to traditional classroom learning.

This includes having the lessons through radio, television or even in modular printing as what is applicable in the area where the learning process takes place. For this reason there might be changes in the contents of school curriculum, lesson planning and scheduling of classes.

Various learning delivery options were also adopted such as blended learnings, distance learnings, homeschooling and other modes of delivery . The alternating school days for students or staggered conduct of classes were also pushed by some of the authorities in education. This is to decongest the number of students inside the classroom and ensure the students and teachers’ safety in school areas with physical attendance.

In the new normal, home and school partnership were also encourage to facilitate better and more consistent communication and collaboration between teachers and parents. Communication of learning goals, expectations, and feedback is a great help to sustain the needed collaborative relationship between the parents, and the teacher.

In this new normal parents plays big role in the education of their children with the new teaching learning process at home. The sustainable and supportive external partnerships of local government units, nongovernment organizations, and other institutions were a big help in enabling a responsive education continuity program . As schools explore these possibilities for partnership, school leaders and administrators always keep in mind the need to maintain and guard the institution’s integrity and independence from any self-serving motives that can interfere with the school’s vision and goals.

In this period of COVID-19 pandemic, understanding, mutual support, unity, and bayanihan is a must.

Teaching modalities

By OPHELIA AMOR O. KIUNISALA Teacher I

Never before in the history of the Philippines have we seen millions of school children unable to attend classes. With over 21 million elementary and high-school students affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, both the educators and students are pinning their hopes on a new normal type of education involving online learning.

Unfortunately, public school teachers are particularly in the dark on what to expect once the new school year virtually opens next week.

A learning continuity plan seeks to ensure that students’ learning progresses even amid disasters such as natural calamities, storms, fires, and pandemics. This plan overcomes obstacles created by the disasters through innovative means of teaching

and learning, keeping students on track with their courses.

This educational framework is composed of different important pillars such as School Readiness, Human Resources, Infrastructure Readiness, Transition Program, Building Partnership, Teaching and Learning Modalities and Assessment centered on the Development of the Most Essential Skills and Values of the learners.

We would like to emphasize that it will not necessarily mean that teachers and learners will undergo the traditional in-classroom set-up. In the LCP, the choice and contextualization of the learning delivery modality of schools will depend on the local Covid-19 situation as well as access to certain learning platforms.

that are allowed to operate within the curfew period.

Duterte encouraged establishments, places of worship and other institutions to adjust their operating hours.

The local government prohibited the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places such as roads, alleys, open spaces and other similar places at any given time, while

the singing of videoke and karaoke inside private property would be prohibited from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. every day.

The order provides that the purok or community leader could seek police assistance at any time of the day to require households to turn off a videoke/karaoke machine, if the sound has become disruptive to the neighborhood.

Learning must be human-centric

By ALFREDO D. BUENAFE Teacher III Bonifacio National High School Division of Misamis Occidental

TODAY there is increasing emphasis on multidisciplinary learning which have sparked interest among those who want to move beyond the confines of job-centric learning. Education is not just about learnig but about what resonates with an individual’s passion and interest. The shifting workplace and career trends in the country and overseas reflect this change.

For example, technology companies have opened their doors to non-technology graduates as there is room for skills like creative writing, communication and critical thinking which play a crucial role in brand building and management. Those with backgrounds in creative arts, literature and social sciences have a strong base in reading,

researching, creative writing and most importantly analytical and problem solving skills which are mistakenly perceived to be the domain of IT professionals only. Their empathetic skills, multifaceted solutions, ability to communicate well and creatively solve problems provide far greater value than an artificial algorithm or machine-driven intelligence.

Such people have tremendous career and growth opportunities in sectors like IT, education, startups, finance and banking and digital marketing, among others. While the technological trajectory has scaled tremendously in the last five years, it has also registered a critical learning for us: everything must be human-centric.

CONVENTIONAL TO NEW NORMAL LEARNING

By MARYDEL U. TEACHER I EL SALVADOR CITY CENTRAL SCHOOL

The COVID – 19 pandemic that recently hit the world raises the need for teachers who have the skills to teach effectively in blended contexts. This time the teachers and students suddenly shift from traditional classrooms to class-home learning environment. The pressure is heavier on the shoulders of the teachers who are required to be an expert not only in content but also pedagogically and technologically expert.

Teachers was seen to be a group key player in determining the look and feel of the online environment. Its difficult for teachers to teach online when they struggle to gauge how students are comprehending course content or lessons , and whether they are participating in learning activities and experiences.

Yes, teacher think about learning, their views of students’ motivation and approach as well as cognitive abilities, appear to affect the way they design online activities, materials and assessment and this will in turn direct the learner’s experience of online activities. The role of online teachers requires merging of multiple roles which are the communication

skills and a paradigm shift.

The communication skills are similar to those needed for effective classroom teaching, and the paradigm shift regarding instructional time and space, virtual management techniques, and the ability to engage students through virtual communication .

During this time the teacher’s readiness plays a very important role in the process of transferring from conventional to new learning environment. The shift to online learning can be difficult. It can require restructuring course components using new pedagogical approaches, learning activities and technology tools that may be new to the teachers and to students. The pandemic has surely caused a change in the usual teaching and learning practices employed in the on-campus classroom environments, but that doesn’t mean they must be abandoned altogether.

By instilling collaboration, frequent communication and active learning in virtual classroom, it can still ensure students receive valuable and engaging educational experiences, regardless of where learning takes place.

IMF cuts 2020 growth forecast for PH; hikes 2021 projection

By JOANN VILLANUEVA, PNA

Deeper contraction in the second quarter of 2020 made the International Monetary Fund (IMF) slash its growth forecast for the Philippines

this year to -8.3 percent but it hiked its 2021 forecast to 7.4 percent.

The lender’s latest growth projection for the country

this year is a decline from its -3.6 percent projection earlier, while the 2021 forecast is an improvement from 6.8 percent.

In a reply to e-mailed questions from PNA, IMF

Country Representative to the Philippines Yongzheng Yang said the change in the growth projection for this year was due to the “largerthan-expected downturn in See FORECAST, page 9

Private sector bond issuances post 129% growth from 2016 to present

C

ORPORATE bond issuances more than doubled since the Duterte administration took over in 2016, from P645.6 billion of listed private debt securities to P1.48 trillion as of endAugust this year, according to a report by the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp. (PDEX) to the Capital Market Development Council (CMDC).

This increase in the amount of listed private sector bonds represents a growth of 129 percent, indicating an active primary market dominated by financial institutions, PDEX president and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Antonino Nakpil said in his report.

From P645.6 billion in 2016, the outstanding amount of bonds listed

by the private sector rose to P792.5 billion in 2017, P1.05 trillion in 2018, and P1.32 trillion in 2019, Nakpil said.

Nakpil’s report to the CDMC also showed a steady rise in the amount of listed corporate bonds since 2008.

From 2018, the financial sector has led the activity and at present, financials now account for 43 percent of total corporate bonds listed. This is followed by the property market (24 percent), holding firms (15 percent), the industrial market (13 percent) and consumer staples (2 percent).

“The primary market has been very active,” said Nakpil in his report during a recent CDMC meeting. "We actually hit P1.53 trillion but there were some maturities and the outstanding

level as of the end of August was at P1.48 trillion."

The CDMC is co-chaired

by Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, lawyer Benedicta Du-Baladad of the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairperson Emilio Aquino.

“That is pretty good. So basically from 2016 to 2020 we more than doubled,” Dominguez said at the meeting.

Nakpil said that in terms of new corporate bond listings, a total of P136.5 billion worth of bonds were issued in 2016, which grew to P207.4 billion in 2017, P256.4 billion in 2018, and reached a record-high P375.6 billion in 2019.

“As of August this year we are at P295 billion so

THE CORONA OUTBREAK

By BARBARA FRANCIS GALAGNARA- ZULUETA TEACHER I EL SALVADOR CITY CENTRAL SCHOOL

The novel coronavirus outbreak that originated from Wuhan, China, has affected millions of people worldwide. There were only few cases reported in Wuhan way back in December of 2019 having only a dozen.

Today, the infectious disease that emerged in China has become a worldwide respiratory illness that threatened numbers of individuals in almost all countries in the world—affecting their daily lives as they go through the situation.

Given the COVID-19’s uncertainty and its continuous rise in cases, people are still negatively overwhelmed by its impact and how it changed everything that was perceived normal. With the imposition of community quarantines and lockdowns to lessen the number of cases, people also experience life uncertainties that have become a great enemy aside from the pandemic itself. In the Philippines, the closing of

many establishments and other workplaces has affected 4.6 million jobless adults (Lopez, 2020). It goes to show how people, up until this time, rely on the subsidies given by the government. Indeed, the pandemic has created a negative effect on the Philippine economy, most especially in its people. Besides, there also has been a controversial issue that happened along with the pandemic, which is the PhilHealth fraud wherein PhilHealth’s executives have stolen 15 billion. (Keith, 2020) People were enraged with the thought that the amount of money could have been a great help to the healthcare sector of the Philippines.

Additionally, according to the Department of Health (DOH), the constant rise of the cases in the Philippines has now a cumulative case of 326,833 having a recovery rate of 83% and a fatality rate of 1.8%. It shows how the Philippines somehow is progressing on the recovery

aspect, which can be the best way of dealing with the pandemic given that there is no vaccine yet. Moreover, as people cry for an immediate response of vaccine towards COVID-19; scientists, and researchers from around the world are also in the process of perfecting the COVID-19 vaccine that requires years of testing. As per the current news, the World Health Organization has said that there is no widespread vaccination until the first half of 2021.

(World Health Organization, 2020).

In conclusion, having all these uncertainties towards the whole process of eradicating this health issue, the best way to help is to follow protocols mandated by the government. It is the least the people could do to help the healthcare workers in fighting the virus. Thus, this goes to say how crucial it is to manifest cooperation within the community. With everyone’s support, all efforts made by the people will amplify to its great extent in the fight against COVID-19.

it is still quite positive although for this particular period what is active are the one- to three-year short tenors,” Nakpil said.

Composed of representatives from the public and private sector, the CMDC is a coordinating body tasked to facilitate the development of the Philippine capital market.

Among its members are National Treasurer Rosalia de Leon, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Chuchi Fonacier, Insurance Commission (IC) Deputy Commissioner George Ongkeko, BSP Managing Director Lyn Javier, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Ephyro Luis Amatong, Philippine Dealing System Holdings Corp.

Education Must Continue

By OLA C. TALAVERA,T-III

Educational services must continue even at this time of Pandemic Crisis. With the strict implementation of Health Protocools mandated from the Higher Offices of the government specifically from the ( IATF- Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases and World health Organization through the Department of Health ( DOH ). Deped should not give up chances and opportunities for every single child to be nurtured and to be educated and that education must continue amidst the treat of the pandemic.

A shift of learning delivery modalities has been designed immediately. The department crafted programs which they think best to implement inorder for the education to continue. Different regional offices nationwide created their Innovation Programs then patterned respectively by its Division Offices and from Division offices to each

district offices.

In Deped Region X,through Deped Regional Director Arturo Bayocot, CESO III also crafted the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan ( BE-LCP ).Region X has its Rx ADOBE or Region X Alternative Delivery of Basic Education.One of its division offices namely the Misamis oriental Division has its own program also Through Division Superintendent Jonathan S. Dela Peña. He crafted the Division’s Initiative entitled BE MORE or Bringing Excellence

by Maximizing and Optimizing Resources in Education.

In some districts the Public Schools District Supervisors crafted too their Innitiative.

Just like in Opol District ,PSDS Roie M. Ubayubay initiated the “Project ROIE “ which stands for Revitalizing and Optimizing Individuals welfare In Education. This Project is very unique in the since that it reflects the name of the district supervisor itself Dr. Roie M. Ubayubay.

School heads in different schools within the district were mandated to craft their own learning continuity plan (LCP) which will serve as basis in the implementation of the different Learning Delivery Modalities that will suits their learners needs.

Since every school has its own unique needs. Series of online trainings/webminars were conducted inorder to capacitate teachers skills in this new normal way of teaching.

It’s more fun in Kindergarten…

By ROSEMARIE FE M. LAVADOR TEACHER I EL SALVADOR CITY CENTRAL SCHOOL

Teaching Kindergarten pupils was challenging. As saying goes, it takes a big heart to help shape little minds. It requires Love and Patience.

Let us remember that patience is the support of one’s weaknesses and impatience is the ruin of some one’s strengths.

I am grateful that I became a Kindergarten Teacher.

Touching someone life in their young age is an opportunity to create a better world. We dream for a lifetime holistic

success that’s why we need to educate people. Showing simple act of kindness and encouraging them to make something good every day is a good start.

The best way to make children good is to make them happy.

Let’s provide a happy environment as possible. Making our classroom more colorful to their eyes and lively music to their ears can change their moods.

Engaging them to fun activities is a motivation. Learning

in a form of play is effective.

Playing is the kid’s most favorite way of learning. Learning how to write for instance can be done through tracing, connecting and matching. Learning how to count must use manipulative objects so that the sense of touching will also develop. Body movements can activate brain functions. Let us help them achieve their full potentials and believe themselves that they can do great things. They may forget what we said but they will not forget how you made them feel.

Learning from home during the COVID-19 pandemic

By JUNELIE R. NOTA, Teacher I Doña Consuelo Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in the way students attend school. Some students have face-to-face instruction in a brick and mortar building designated for learning. Other students, however, are using e-learning or virtual learning.

There is a difference between e-learning and virtual learning. E-learning is online instruction by a teacher where students log on and complete the course work at their own pace, Inmon

said. Virtual learning, she said, involves students joining in live sessions with their teachers where back and forth communication takes place between the teacher, student and their classmates.

Both e-learning and present challenges for everyone.

Parents are faced with finding a designated area where learning takes place in the home as well as finding adult supervision for their child, especially if parents are working.

Parents are not only chal-

lenged with space and supervision but also with ensuring their child is engaged throughout the learning process.

Parents should have a designated space free from distraction where children can interact with the teacher and peers and complete assignments, she said. Well planned schedules and routines will effectively manage time and help students stay on track. Parental involvement is important because parents must play a vital role in assisting the teacher to ensure their child’s success.

Challenges of Blended Learning during Pandemic

By VIRGINIA A. PEROCHO, Teacher I Sinusa Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

Twenty-four million public school pupils started classes at home instead of in classrooms on Monday, as the government turned to alternative methods of teaching this school year.

The blended learning concept is a bold experiment designed to protect school children from the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

Among the challenges the Department of Education (DepEd) must surmount is handing out the 921,341,980

self-learning modules (SLMs) that have been printed.

Only 35.80 percent or about 330,000,000 SLMs have been handed out.

Budgetary constraints may compel DepEd to require two students to share one SLM. DepEd has also employed television and radio medium as a learning aid for students.

It will be a year of adjustment, feedback, learning, and challenges but we are confident that the resilience of the Department of Education

and our partners will see us through.

For now, DepEd’s biggest problem is enrolling the three million pupils who are transferring from private schools that have closed down.

The last enrolment day is November 21.

The 24 million students that started classes on Monday is significantly less than the 27.7 million students who enrolled last school year.

Some teachers, students and even parents were struggling to use modern gadgets as part of the blended learning program.

Q2 (second quarter) and a more gradual resolution of the pandemic as witnessed over the past months, with prolonged social distancing.”

Growth, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), registered a deeper contraction in the second quarter at 16.5 percent from the downwardly revised -0.7 percent in the previous three months.

The second-quarter output resulted in the change in economic managers’ growth target for this year from between -2.0 to -3.4 percent to -5.5 percent.

Next year, economic managers target a recovery of between 6.5 to 7.5 percent, down from 8 to 9-percent target earlier.

The 2022 target is also between 6.5-7.5 percent.

Yang said: “despite a somewhat softer global contraction expected in the October WEO (World Economic Outlook), weak public confidence and low remittances in the Philippines as a result of the pandemic are expected to continue weighing on private investment and consumption.”

“The negative impacts of Covid‑19 are expected to be only partially offset by policy support,” he said.

Yang attributed the projected recovery next year to base effects or the contraction this year, and the “expected rebound in pent-up demand from the relaxation of quarantine measures and continued effects of the policy easing in 2020.”

Wed-Thu, October 14-15, 2020

“Nonetheless, significant scarring effects (e.g., hysteresis, bankruptcies) are expected and it will take a couple of years before real GDP to return to the prepandemic (2019) level,” he added.

Yang said the impact of the pandemic is seen to result in lower levels of potential output and higher structural unemployment in the medium term “but real GDP growth is expected to converge back to potential, of 6.5 percent by 2025.”

Meanwhile, Yang said IMF executives are closely watching developments in Congress vis-à-vis its impact on the proposed PHP4.5billion national budget for next year.

“We hope the budget will be passed timely as predictable fiscal policies are important for business confidence and consumer sentiment, and hence for economic recovery,” he added. (PNA)

FY 2021 PCOO programs, priorities Secretary Andanar also discussed landmark programs that the agency aims to embark with the proposed budget for next year, including the move to institutionalize the Laging Handa as the government’s leading crisis communication and information platform.

“Having this platform throughout all administrations that will follow will enable government communicators to be ready for future crises that may necessitate much coordinated, and stronger communication efforts, in order to provide extensive, timely, and reliable information for the public to prepare for,

avoid, and respond to any man-made disasters, natural calamities, or infectious diseases,” he said.

Pioneered in 2016, Laging Handa has served as a one-stop information platform of the country for keeping the public informed during crisis situations, may it be natural disasters or a health crisis.

Secretary Andanar reiterated that the PCOO will likewise continue to push for the passage of its key legislative priorities such as the Freedom of Information Bill and the Media Workers Welfare Bill.

“We will push for two key priority legislations next year to enrich our country’s vibrant freedom when it comes to information access, along with the welfare and the capacity of our media workers. These are the Freedom of Information bill, and the Media Workers Welfare bill,” he said.

The Freedom of Information bill seeks to institutionalize the FOI across all branches of government, directing them to disclose information on projects and other matters that involve public interest.

The Media Workers Welfare bill, meanwhile, seeks to provide media workers more access in terms of security of tenure, adequate health benefits, housing programs, and appropriate hazard and overtime pay.

Purchase of ICT equipment, upgrade of gov’t media P79.23 million of the PCOO’s budget will go to capital outlays. Two-thirds of this amount, or P52.35 million, is intended for the building construction of the Government Strategic Communication Academy in Bukidnon.

This will serve as a training hub for information officers of both the national agencies and the local government units. The facility will also house the government television and radio centers as well as housing facilities for personnel.

Moreover, the PBS-RTVM, BBS, and NIB budgeted the procurement of ICT equipment and software to further strengthen its media coverage on the President, and the Executive branch of government.

The BCS, meanwhile, allotted funds for the printing equipment to complement its on-the-ground communications efforts. The PIA, on the other hand, will

While the 2021 budget may be significantly smaller compared to the current year, Secretary Andanar assured that PCOO will remain steadfast in fulfilling its mandate of delivering the truth, especially in this difficult time.

“Please be assured that we will continue to build on our efforts of bringing the truth to the nation, along with our foreign audiences,” he said.

“It is our job to deliver accurate and valuable information with excellence, responsibility, and integrity to the Filipino people, so that they may be transformed into informed citizens and thought leaders, who will partner with us in achieving President Duterte’s legacy of providing a comfortable life for all Filipinos,” he added.

“Our objective remains: bring hope to our people that better days are coming for the Philippines,” Secretary Andanar said.

In the same hearing, Senator Bong Go expressed full support for the PCOO’s 2021 budget.

“Information is our best weapon against fear-mongering and public anxiety.

It is for this reason that the role of the PCOO, as the lead communications arm of the government, is very crucial now more than ever.

Through the PCOO, we were able to inform, educate, and enlighten the Filipino citizenry about matters of national importance, and empowering them to deepen their civic engagement,” Senator Go said.

“Dahil po sa PCOO, naiihahatid natin ng maayos at organisado ang impormasyon na kailangan ng tao tungkol sa mga proyekto, programa at polisiya ng gobyerno, lalo na ngayong kasagsagan ng pandemya. At napatunayan po ito noong Marso na kung saan nagkaroon ng lockdown, talagang nag doubletime po talaga ang PTV-4 [Thanks to PCOO, we are able to deliver information properly and organized that the people need about government projects, programs, and policies, especially at the height of the pandemic.

This was proven in March when we had a lockdown, and PTV-4 had to work double time],” Senator Go added.

Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, meanwhile, manifested

support for the PCOO budget, especially the creation of the Government Strategic Communication Academy.

“I’ll push for the amendment of the budget of the PCOO to include that particular center to be placed in Northern Mindanao. I think ideal because Mindanao still needs to grow in terms of development, in terms of spreading the good news of government to its people because we still have an insurgency problem there, and we still have to convince the hearts and minds of the people there that government is actually doing something for them, is actually working for them,” Senator Zubiri said.
