Eight of 17 Marawi hostage survivors reunited with families By Carolyn O. Arguillas MindaNews

OF the 17 hostages of the Maute Group who were rescued by government forces early morning of October 4 in Marawi City, only eight — all of them female — have been reunited with their families. “All women already reunited with their families,” Col. Romeo Brawner, Deputy Commander of Task Force Ranao said Thursday, in reply to MindaNews’ query about the hostage survivors. “The men are still undergoing processing with CIDG (Criminal Investigation and Detection Group of the Philippine National Police),” he said. As of Friday night, the male hostages were still in military / police custody. At the press briefing on Monday (October 9), Lt.

Gen. Carlito Galvez, chief of the Western Mindanao Command said the survivors would be turned over to their families by “Tuesday or Wednesday” (Oct. 10 or11). He said arrangements have been made, including travel details and who will fetch or receive them. MindaNews checked with Galvez on Tuesday night if the survivors had been released from military/police custody. He said “necessary arrangements with all concerned” have been made for the turnover on Wednesday. “For the nine males, CIDG is still processing,” he said in a text message. The eight female survivors were finally reunited with their families on Wednesday, a full week since they got out of the war zone. There was no public turnover

“as they (hostage survivors) requested,” Galvez said. Galvez had earlier said there is a need for debriefing of the survivors to help the hostages still in the hands of the Maute Group. The military has not released the names of the 17 hostage survivors but of the eight women, five are teachers from the Dansalan College and one is a professor at the fMindanao State University. MindaNews asked during the Monday press briefing in Marawi if the hostages were being treated as suspects or as persons of interest. There was no reply to that query. But Brawner showed a flowchart of the “process” that survivors have to go through once they are out The war zone on Monday, 09 October 2017. The military said on Monday that there of the war zone: medical are still around 60 non-combatants in the main battle area: 31 hostages in the main and physical examination battle area, along with 31 or 33 dependents of the Maute Group.

The CYNOSURE

Emano’s acquittal brings new issue at the City Hall

The acquittal of former Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Dongkoy Emano of the antigraft charges by the Sandiganbayan last Friday proves that a malicious accusation has no room in the court of justice. The case stemmed from the complaint filed by Leonor Esparcia, a City Hall worker, who complained about her being assigned to another post other than being a senior bookkeeper in the city-owned J. R. Borja Memorial Hospital sometime in 2009. Esparcia filed a complaint about her transfer with the Civil Service Commissions (CSC), which the commission later directed Emano to reinstate or return Esparcia to her original post at the city-owned public

media reportedly covered the promulgation. Obviously, Emano’s camp was surprised of the presence of the Manila media that suspicions were high that the other camp purposely sent the media to cover a “guilty verdict.” Nope, it did not happen. Another surprise was the absence of the complainant that her lawyer during the promulgation of the acquittal. Now, Emano could rest on the serene laurels of blissfulness. Congrats, Mayor Emano. On the other hand, another issue crops up in the city anew. It is all about the contract between the Cagayan De Oro Water District (COWD) and the Metro Pacific Investments

Cris Diaz

Corporation (MPIC) to undertake the supply of bulk treated water to Cagayan De Oro City residents is another talk of the town these days. After massive complaints of “waterless” Cagayan De Oro City in the past few months, the joint venture contract between the COWD and the Manny Pangilinan-owned (MPIC) bulk treated water hogged the limelight. The Cagayanons only came to know that the COWD and the MIPC has entered into a joint venture contract sometime on See brings, page 11

hospital. Emano refused to implement the CSC’s order. While Esparcia has lost interest in the case, a certain Rey Raagas, obviously identified with Mayor Oscar Moreno filed the case with the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman then filed the criminal case with the Sandiganbayan. The long-running legal battle started until the Sandiganbayan penned its final decision on October 13, 2017 (Friday the 13th) acquitting Emano of the charges. Perhaps, for others, Friday the 13th brings bad luck. For Emano, Friday the 13th was his luckiest day because it was his last anti-graft case filed in the anti-graft court.

an award from the National Academy of Science and Technology last Thursday, October 12, 2017? Is it not more true (if there is such a thing) that more than one in three Filipinos are truly afflicted with insanity, madness, and confusion of mind, especially if we consider the fact that millions of our countrymen are now slaves to drugs, shabu, and other prohibited substances which induce mental stupor? We only need to look around the country today to see the truth that many of us are now truly mad and insane. Then is it not also true that many Filipinos are now unremittingly insane because they can kill even those who are merely sus-

pected of crimes, especially those who are suspected of involvement in illegal drugs; nonchalantly rape even mere new-born babies; shamelessly steal or plunder hundreds of millions in government funds for their own personal or family interests; and shield admitted corrupt officials simply because the corrupt officials were the ones who installed them in power, or are their colleagues in their party? -oooMOST INSANE FILIPINOS ARE IN BARONGS AND SUITS: These Filipinos---who are even clad in classy barong tagalog or in suits known locally as “Americana”, who wear expensive jewelry, and who

Atty. Batas Mauricio

reside in posh residences even if they have no visible businesses, and who are even lording it over as chiefs of many government offices--are the ones truly insane and mad, and confused of mind. Why, if these Filipinos are not insane and mad, can they stomach stealing and plundering and pocketing hundreds of millions of pesos in government funds, killing their fellow Filipinos even if the victims are merely suspected---not having been proved yet--of having done a crime, See truly, page 11

Think A Minute

Wishing life away

THINK a minute. Do you wish you were somewhere else right now? At the beach? Away on a nice holiday? At Disneyland? Many of us spend a lot of our time wishing we were somewhere else. When we’re at work we wish we were home relaxing. We wish we had a different job and career or a different boss. We wish we were rich. But we can wish our life away. The simple fact is we’re not somewhere else, we’re right here! Meantime, life is passing us by while we spend our time making retirement plans. Then, even if we finally

get something we wished for, we still keep wishing for something more because it’s become our state of mind— always wishing for something else. So we don’t even enjoy the things we already do have. So don’t wait until you’re not too busy before you get close to your kids. Enjoy them now. They’ll never be this age again. Don’t wait until you buy or build that new house or until you make more money. And don’t wait until you retire, because then you might be too tired! You see, each day is made to have its own special experi-

ences and memories of fun, love, and lessons to learn. So grab and squeeze every bit of life you can out of today, because this day will never come back again! A very successful woman said, “Do your best this moment, so you can be prepared and in the best place for your next moment and opportunity.” That’s why Jesus promises all His followers that if we are faithful and productive with our small responsibilities now, then He will bless us with bigger opportunities later. But first, we must decide to start living for Jesus His successful,

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

right way every day of our life. So why not ask Jesus to forgive you for living your own way and always wishing you had more? Jesus will take charge of your life and help you to fully enjoy what you already have, as well as all the more that He wants to give you. Just Think a Minute.

To keep up with the current trends in the global Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, prepare for and embrace the countryside digital opportunities, and enable a sustainable ecosystem for tech industry and innovation to flourish, the National ICT Confed-

eration of the Philippines (NICP) together with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), will hold the 9th NICP Summit on November 16-17, in Cagayan de Oro City. The summit will highlight the DigitalCitiesPH Launch which aims to pro-

vide great opportunities for the development of the nation’s infrastructure to achieve the government’s goal in becoming a global contender in the Digital Economy. The launch will be held at the Limketkai Luxe Hotel on November 16. The second day of the summit will be the 6th eGov Awards or the Awards for

Excellence in ICT for Good Governance for Local Government Units (LGUs). This is an annual search for the best practices in LGUs where entries are evaluated according to the LGUs’ relevant utilization of ICT to effectively and efficiently deliver its public services directly to its constituents and stakeholders. Lawyer Jocelle Batapa of NICP shared that for this year, there are 39 entries for eGov Awards. “The eGov Awards will become a marketplace for sharing and it will be held at

Rosario Pavilion, Limketkai Center on November 17,” Batapa said. The lawyer also cited the key panel topics in the summit that include enhancing country competitiveness, talent development programs, building innovation and startup ecosystem, stepping up to knowledge processes, promoting open governance, identifying strategies to attract specific niches to the countryside, and harnessing role of ICT councils. Batapa said that such summit is significant to at-

tract more investments in the country, boost employment, make the ICT industry and its benefits more understandable to the general public, and capacitate students with the skills needed in the industry. Around 700 stakeholders and experts from the academe, government, business and more are expected to grace the summit who will share industry trends, developments, best practices, and identify challenges and ways to generate new investments and create jobs especially in the countryside.(RTP/ PIA10)

Mandatory ROTC in SHS: ‘For Better or Worse?’ ALLAN CLAPANO DANGCAL Teacher III Chairman, Mathematics Department Opol National Secondary Technical School

country, said Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Mindanao Regional Services Division Officer-in-charge Engr. Anthony Joseph R. Lucero during the 3rd Quarter Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

Council (RDRRMC)-10 Council Meeting held in Cagayan de Oro, Oct. 13. For Mindanao, temperatures ranges from 17oC to 33oC over the mountainous areas, and 18oC to 37oC over the rest of Mindanao. More rainfall in Mindanao especially in Caraga and Northern Mindanao, said

Amidst threats of national security, as the ISIS inspired Maute Group and other known terrorist baddies are in their petrifying acts, President Rodrigo R. Duterte favored the proposed law-- to impose mandatory ROTC (Reservist Officer Training Course) to the Senior High School curriculum. This means that all Senior High School students will undergo mandatory ROTC, once it will be acted as law in Congress and Senate. This is a good call. ROTC is a preeminent means of instilling patriotism, love of country, moral and spiritual values, respect for human rights and adherence to Constitution. The ROTC had a grim past. It was known as hub of “hazing violence”. That

is why, at this point in time, it has been furthered with the strict implementation of the “strengthened” Anti Hazing Law to safeguard its enactment. As an experienced ROTC Officer in the tertiary level and a commendable CAT commandant in Junior High School, I strongly believe that imposing mandatory ROTC to the Senior High school students is for the better. It is as valuable such of pertaining to academic excellence and technical skills proficiency.

But other educators suggest that gaining proficiency may not be so simple for many students who may need more contextual support.

extremely valuable for gaining reading proficiency, but we are suggesting that, while explicit instruction and appropriate texts are valuable, an often overlooked factor is motivational support. We propose that when the classroom encourages the powerful motivations for reading, students acquire proficiency steadily and predictably. When students read a passage or a book, they usually have a reason for doing it. Likewise when NOTICE NOTICE is hereby given that the estate of FELIPE O. BILAR, who died intestate at 139-B Gorordo Ave., Cebu City, Philippines on May 27, 2011, consisting of a parcel of land (Lot 379-B, BSD-13-001957AR, being a portion of Lot 379, Pls-181), located at Concordia, Esperanza, Agusan del Sur, covered under Transfer Certificate of Title No. T-15248 and Tax Declaration No. 11-03-0012-00148 issued by the Registry of Deeds and Assessor’s Office of the Province of Agusan del Sur, respectively, containing an area of 30,000 square meters, is the subject of a DEED OF EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF THE ESTATE OF THE DECEASED FELIPE O. BILAR WITH WAIVER OF RIGHS made and entered into by and among deceased Felipe O. Bilar’s legal heirs, his surviving spouse and legitimate children, namely, Ludivina V. Bilar, Renato V.

they avoid reading a text that they may be expected to read, they usually have a reason for their resistance. The most prominent reason for recreational reading is “I enjoy it.” This reason refers to interest or intrinsic motivation, which means doing something for its own sake, and these motivations are internal to the student. Students who consistently read for their own interest are often quite competent and are usually highly achieving readers. Wig field and Guthrie (1997) documented that students who are intrinsically motivated spend 300% more time reading than students who have low intrinsic motivation for reading. Compared to 10 other motivations, intrinsic motivation for reading was most highly associated with whether or not students read widely and frequently on their own accord. Another reason students read in school is external pressure. Often students say that their reason for reading is that “The teacher assigned it,” or “I’ll get in trouble if I don’t.” In this case the reason for reading is external motivation (Ryan & Connell, 1989). This reason is not chosen by the student and this reading will be avoided if possible. An extremely widespread research finding is that internal motivations (interest, intrinsic motivation) are positively correlated

with reading achievement, and external motivations (pressure, requirements, rules) are not correlated with reading achievement In elementary school external motivations are usually not negatively correlated with reading competence, but in secondary school the external reasons for reading become negatively related to achievement. By secondary school, students who read only for the reason of avoiding getting in trouble, or only to avoid feeling ashamed for failing, show low and declining achievement The reasons for reading, then, are crucial. Simply reading is insufficient. When internal motivations such as intrinsic motivation and interest energize students’ reading, students interact with text deeply and gain relatively high amounts of knowledge or aesthetic experience .If students’ reading interests are weak, their competency grows little and their quality as readers diminishes.

to determine the person’s condition and if he or she would require further medical attention; determination of their involvement in terrorism which is to be done by the CIDG; and if cleared by the CIDG, they are turned over to the Marawi City government and the Provincial Crisis Management Committee. He said most of the survivors were still with the CIDG. Three days later, Brawner said the same for the male survivors. In the press briefing on October 7, Brawner said they understand that the relatives of the survivors are worried “but we want to assure their family and friends na yung mga na-rescue po natin na hostages ay treated well by the troops and the police.” He added that the hostages are still “going through a process,” including medical attention and “aside from that, we have to determine their involvement also in this crisis lalo na po yung mga lalaki (especially the men). Some of them were forced to handle weapons especially at night.” Brawner, however, said he cannot say when the survivors would be turned over to their families. “We cannot give you a specific number of days. It depends really on the situation” Asked on October 9 if there was an instance where a former hostage was not cleared by the CIDG, Galvez replied, “lahat ng (former) hostages cleared.” A total of 23 hostages have been reported rescued since September 16, including Father Teresito “CHito” Soganub, the Vicar General ot the Prelature of Marawi and Catholic chaplain of the Mindanao State University, and a male teacher of Dansalan College on September 16; four hostages on September 21; and the 17 on October 4. Fr. Chito’s family in Norala, South Cotabato found out about his escape and rescue on September 16 only through media reports. The military kept mum on September 16 but the Prelature of Marawi, citing sources from the military, issued a press statement that same day welcoming the news of Fr. Chito’s freedom. The military broke its silence only when they presented the priest briefly in a press conference afternoon on September 17. Fr. Chito is undergoing trauma healing but remains in military custody nearly a month since he got out of the war zone .

August 15, 2017. The signing of the contract was inked in Shangrila Hotel in Makati City. Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno signed the contract on behalf of the city government. Some COWD officials witnessed the con-

tract signing, too. Despite the whispers around the corners, nothing could be heard about the COWD-MPIC contract, until only recently. The people then started to question on what happened to the COWD-RIO VERDE contract? It should be noted that the RIO VERDE bulk treated water contract with the COWD took place before Moreno became Mayor in Cagayan De Oro City. Why did Moreno enter into another contract with the MPIC? There is an argument that the RIO VERDE could not comply with the required 80,000 cubic meters of water needed by the people of Cagayan De Oro. Thus, the MPIC contract is necessary to supply the additional water needs of the Cagayanons. But, with the new contract, the Cagayanons should pay an additional P 6.00 per cubic meter consumed. This additional burden on the taxpayers was not explained to the COWD’s water concessionaires. One would only wonder getting a higher water bill in the coming months. Could one blame the city government for the additional rates that were passed on to the water consumers? Actually, there is no need for another COWD contract with another bulk treated water provider. What the COWD needs is to amend the existing contract with RIO VERDE so that the desired number of water supply for the local consumers could be attained. Now, with the new contracting party sans without a massive information campaign, every Tom, Dick and Harry have reason to be skeptical. Did the local legislative body authorize the City Mayor to sign a contract with the MPIC? Was there an ordinance justifying the need for the COWD to enter into another bulk treated water provider? A few questions that might provide more questions once a serious probe is conducted against the issue. -0- Email reaction/comments: crisguardian@yahoo.com

particularly of dealing in illegal drugs, raping even mere babies, and shielding the corrupt and graft-prone simply because they are their patrons or are their party-mates? These are the Filipinos who are truly out of their minds because their minds are confused and clouded by selfish interests. They commit acts that they know should not be done by any right-thinking Filipino. They are the ones truly insane, because while they know that God detests them because they are doing truly despicable acts, and that they would be thrown in hell with their children in the worms and fires of hell, they do them just the same. -ooo-

Monday, October 16, 2017 POLITICIANS AND THOSE IN GOVERNMENT ARE THE ONES TRULY CRAZY: There are plenty of reasons why Filipinos, especially those who are in politics and in government, display this kind of insanity and madness. The first is that, they have set side, and no longer have any interest in subjecting themselves to God, through His Word. These Filipinos no longer want, and avoid at all cost, listening to, and obeying, the Word of God. Their problem is that, because they no longer want to listen to, nor obey, the Word of God, He sends them various curses, including the curse of madness, blindness, confusion of mind, and insanity (Deuteronomy 28:15, 28 of the Bible). Then, because they did not wish to recognize, thank, and even honor, God, He left them to their own wickedness, shameful desires, and madness (Romans 1:18-32). Then, too, God decided that these people would become deaf and blind, to disable them from understanding, in every way possible, the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. God decreed that these people would become deaf and blind because He did not want to give them salvation, so that their descent to hell is assured (Matthew 13:10-17). These are truly hapless Filipinos, and truly mad and insane. What is more problematic for them is that, they know they are insane, yet they are unable to do anything. -oooWATCH “ANG TANGING DAAN” AT FACEBOOK: “Ang Tanging Daan” is a Bible exposition and prayer session for everyone, in English and Filipino, 24/7, worldwide, that can be viewed at www.facebook. com/angtangingdaan.

the Sandiganbayan dismissal order shortly after the anti-graft court promulgated the acquittal order in open court Friday morning. In its 13-page decision, the anti-graft court’s First Division found Emano not guilty for violation of the Revised Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service in relation to the Administrative Code of 1987 due to the prosecution’s failure to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt. “Considering that the prosecution failed to prove that the action of the accused was willful, this court finds the accused not guilty,” the decision penned by division chair Associate Justice Efren Dela Cruz read. Emano, in his testimony, said that he filed a motion for reconsideration before the Court of Appeals, which ruled in favor of Esparcia. According to Emano, he did not reinstate the complainant because of the ongoing election

ban for the 2013 midterm elections and the absence of the writ of execution from the CSC. In acquitting Emano, the Sandiganbayan said the prosecution failed to prove that Emano ‘willfully’ refused the reinstatement of Esparcia despite his failure to implement the CSC order. The complainant and her lawyer were not around when the Sandiganbayan promulgated the decision Friday morning, Khu said. “I just wonder why there were media around. Perhaps, the complainant was expecting that the Sandigan would convict Mayor Emano,” Khu said. Esparcia, a senior bookkeeper of the city-owned J. R. Borja Hospital, filed the complaint with the Civil Service Commissions (CSC) when Mayor Emano, then, reassigned her as a security guard at the city’s public library. Emano refused to implement the CSC order to reinstate Esparcia to her original post at the city hospital sometime in September 2012. In reacting to the criminal case with the Sandiganbayan, Esparcia said that she already lost interest of the case because she was already reinstated at the city hospital and her benefits and back wages as senior bookkeeper were returned to her. “I was surprised why the case was elevated to the Sandiganbayan. I already lost track and interest in the case,” Esparcia said. Emano pleaded not guilty against graft charges during his arraignment last January 19, 2016 at the Sandiganbayan, Khu said.

In the same ceremony, Association of Construction and Informal Workers president Joel Ortiz said they are dismayed that many applicants in the construction sector in Region 10 do not have the necessary qualifications. “Gikan sa steel man padulong sa laborer padulong sa mason, daghan kaayo interesado motrabaho pero pipila lang ang kwalipikado,” Ortiz said, adding that the quality of the construction workers’ performance must be at par with their counterparts abroad because this is what investors are looking into. Ortiz welcomed the creation of the regional training center for cons t r u c t i on , s ay i n g t h i s wou l d b o o s t t h e c on struction sector in the region. The training center was established through the cooperation of the local government of Libertad led by Mayor Leonardo Uy, Tes da-10 le d by then director Edgar Sales, current director L ore n z o Ma c api l i and provincial director Leo Velez, Cagayan de Oro Bugo School of Arts and Trade (Cobsat) and the trainers belonging to the construction and metals and engineering sectors. An amount of P2 mil-

lion was allotted by Misamis Oriental Rep. Juliette Uy for trainees in shielded metal arc welding and electrical installation and maintenance. The launching would declare the training center as a construction center that would serve the neighboring communities and municipalities in the province, Mamondiong said.

“It has been idle for quite some time now. In fact, its other land holdings were being leased out to various firms,” Loable said in a phone interview Friday. He said the about 500 hectares of land are being rented by companies which planted sugarcane and rice inside the CMU property. Created as an agricultural school in 1910, CMU was granted an area of about 3,401 hectares by the government through a proclamation issued by thenPresident Carlos Garcia in 1958. According to the school’s official website, a portion of the CMU property, about 321.9 hectares, was apportioned to claimants in 1974 leaving the university with 3,080 hectares. If CMU awards the 517 hectares to the BTL members, Loable said it won’t pose no problem to the university since it has a huge expanse of land left for its use. “They (CMU) can’t use all the land for its research, they might as well give it to us,” he added. In its previous statement, the CMU has maintained that the land occupied by the peasants is owned by the university based on a Supreme Court ruling in 1992. Over the years, CMU said, there were efforts made to compel the farmers to vacate the area but they refused to leave. A proposed relocation site was also offered by Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri but the BTL members remained committed to staying on the CMU land. A hundred members and officials of the BTL are in Manila to bring their voice to the national government agencies such as the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in a protest action dubbed as “Baktas BTL: Fight for Land and Life.” “Other than the right to till the land, Baktas BTL brings farmers’ issues of lack of social services in Bukidnon. While they are able to stay on their land through their collective assertion, services such as irrigation, food, health, and others are absent, making the lives of farmers difficult,” the collective said in a statement. Aside from the land, the groups are also asking the Duterte administration to extend to them the much-needed assistance such as fertilizers, seeds, and farm tools, as well as

the construction of necessary infrastructure. Since Thursday, Oct. 12, the peasants are camping out outside the DAR national office in Quezon City.

Marawi kids enter a new world in Smart storytelling session

leven-year-old Aman Binasing is among the thousands of people displaced by the armed conflict in Marawi. For months he has dealt with the challenges of living in an evacuation center. But for one day, he was able to leave his worries behind and enter an amazing world where magical hats can fly and where laundry women can possess superpowers. PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications recently treated Aman and dozens of children like him to a special leg of the storytelling caravan it has brought all over the country. The storytelling session, held at the Philippine Army

cmyk

headquarters in Taguig, was part of daylong activities prepared by the MVP group of companies for kids of Marawi. The children, aged five to 13, listened in rapt attention to stories narrated by Rey Bufi of the Storytelling Project and employee volunteers of Ericsson Philippines. The kids also volunteered to act as characters in a story, and participated actively in dance exercises and games, where some of them got story books as prizes. “I enjoyed the stories the most,” Aman said. Smart community partnerships head Darwin Flores explained the value of storytelling for children in conflict situations. “This practice encourages children to

let their imagination run free and create a world of their own. Stories help them go beyond the confines of their present situation. They can create love and joy in their own stories,” he said. A United Nations paper on children and armed conflict states that “Music, drawing and painting, creative writing, storytelling, drama, sports and team play all provide important ways ‘back to the self.’” The paper explains that these activities help children connect with others and express feelings about experiences on their own terms. According to education experts, storytelling also expands children’s vocabulary, teaches values, and

makes learning more fun. Thirteen-year-old Cairanie Camar said she enjoyed listening to the stories. She added that back home, she would read books after finishing her household chores. “I like learning new things,” she said. Smart public affairs senior manager Stephanie Orlino said that aside from encouraging love for stories and reading among Filipino children, Smart is also trying to inspire adults to tell stories to the children in their lives. “Adults can use new technologies such as mobile devices and the internet to make story time more fun for kids. They can look for stories online, and look for images that could

help children better understand the stories. These are just some of the ways by which technology can help adults connect more deeply with the youth,” she said. Smart has so far brought the storytelling caravan to Baguio,

Manila, Bulacan, Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, Dumaguete, Bacolod, Davao, Saranggani, Cebu, Siargao, and Sorsogon. The sessions have been attended by hundreds of students. The caravan will be brought to more areas in the coming months.
