Rio Verde restores water pressure, supply

By MIKE BAÑOS, Editor-at-Large

HERE is now a constant flow of water in all areas of the Cagayan de Oro City Water District’s West Service Area, including elevated portions which had been waterless for almost a month now.

In a communication copy furnished to this paper, Engr. Joffrey E. Hapitan, vice president of bulk water supplier Rio Verde Water Consortium, Inc. (Rio Verde), informed COWD Production Head Engr. Edward Tesoro that Rio Verde commissioned its newly repaired underwater pipeline Wednesday (October 25,

2017) at 6 p.m.

“The flow rate at COWD Take Off Point (TOP) is now maintained at 40,000m3/day (or 40MLD, million liters per day) at 70 pounds per inch (psi) pressure,” Hapitan said.

Tesoro confirmed receipt of the communication and UNAFFECTED. With its own barangay waterworks, most residents of Barangay Lumbia affirmed that indeed, water were unaffected by the recent water shortage affecting the Cagayan de Oro City Water See restores, page 11

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Chinese shipbuilding giant Ansteel is selecting between Subic and Phividec Industrial Estates in Misamis Oriental as possible sites for their new plant in the Philippines.

Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano broke the news over the weekend even as he said that the company is expected to take in almost 50,000 jobs once it’s realized.

Emano said he has met with Ansteel executives who

called on him earlier this week. Prior to the group’s meeting with the governor, Ansteel representatives also met with Phividec administrator Franklin Quijano.

If plans don’t miscarry, this would be the second time in less than a decade that a steel manufacturing company has expressed interest to invest in Misamis Oriental.

CAGAYAN de Oro City-Misamis Oriental Gov. Yevgeny Vincente Emano has ordered the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) to look into allegations that heavy siltation in Macajalar Bay is caused by unsound farming practices in Claveria, a landlocked municipality.

In an interview, Emano said he has received reports that fertilizers used by farmers in Claveria are clogging the drains there and overflow downstream into the open sea.

In a separate interview, provincial agriculturist Benjamin Resma said the governor has already tasked PENRO to talk to the farmers in Claveria and look on how to improve their farming methods “so the environment won’t be compromised.”

Resma also theorized that the practice of cutting down trees in the past has contributed to the erosion of topsoil downstream going into Macajalar Bay. Emano has also referred the matter for action to the Macajalar Bay Development Alliance (MBDA), which is composed of local government units (LGUs) coasting the body of water.

Govt allocates initial P5b fund for Marawi rehabilitation Sat-Sun, October 28-29, 2017

THE government is allocating an initial PHP5-billion fund that will be spent until the end of the year for the rehabilitation of Marawi City, a Civil Defense official said Monday, October 23.

Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Assistant Secretary Kristoffer James Purisima said a big chunk of the fund would be allotted for the relief efforts.

“Ang priority diyan ay ‘yung patuloy nating pagbibigay ng relief sa ating IDPs (internally displaced persons),” Purisima said during the regular Mindanao Hour press briefing in Malacañang.

As of latest count, he said there are more than 72,000 IDP families still housed in evacuation centers as well as those who are home-based.

Purisima added that part of the PHP5-billion would also be used to fund the construction of transitional shelters.

The National Housing Authority eyes to build at least 1,100 transitional shelters within the year for the Marawi City IDPs, he said, adding that displaced persons may start occupying the shelters as early as next year. “‘Yun ang target nila doon sa unang plano. Of course, this is subject to evaluation, this is subject to revisions as needed dahil ngayon minamadali na at tinatapos na ng DPWH ‘yung site development ng lahat ng transitional shelter sites. ‘Yung six areas diyan sa transitional shelter sites,”

Purisima said.

The site development continues in Barangay Sagonsongan, Marawi City, under the leadership of the Department of Public Works and Highways.

A private company also volunteered to develop a water distribution system for the transitional shelter site in Barangay Sagonsongan and has identified location for installation of deep wells.

The government also accepts donations from foreign groups and it is being handled by the Finance and Resource Mobilization Support Group. Among the donors include Thailand, India and China, he said.

To address concerns on the lack of livelihood in the temporary sites, Purisima said the government is studying possible livelihood and business opportunities for the IDPs. “At saka alam naman natin itong transitional shelter site ay transitional, temporary lamang, ngunit bibigyan pa rin natin sila ng sense of community dito sa transitional shelter site,” he said.

“So nagpaplanong maglagay diyan ng marketplace, maaaring maglagay din diyan ng eskwelahan at health center o medical center,” he added.

Aside from the appropriate livelihood interventions, the IDPs will also be provided appropriate health and educational interventions as well.

Meanwhile, Malaca-

ñang welcomed the tie-up between the Diocese of Novaliches, Quezon City and the Philippine National Police to rehabilitate drug dependents.

“The drug rehabilitation partnership agreement signed by the Diocese of Novaliches, Quezon City government, and the Philippine National Police for a community-based drug rehabilitation program in the Batasan area is a commendable move to pro-actively help the national government in the anti-illegal drug campaign,” Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said in a statement. “ It is hoped that this kind of partnership can be replicated by the PNP and other offices involved in the comprehensive anti-illegal drugs campaign with other Dioceses, as well as other churches and church groups in the country,” he added.

Abella noted that this kind of collaboration between the government and the Church is what the people expect, as indicated by a recent survey showing majority saying that the Catholic Church must help with the rehabilitation of drug addicts.

“The complementary work of the government and the Church in the treatment and rehabilitation of drug dependents must further be enhanced, particularly in areas such as restoration of mental, spiritual, and psycho-emotional health,” he added. (PND)

PCC: Telco services still poor despite Globe-PLDT-SMC deal THE Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) said mobile and internet services of Globe Telecom, Inc. and PLDT, Inc. remain poor a year after acquiring San Miguel Corp.’s (SMC) telecommunications assets, including the 700MHz frequency.

PCC made the statement after the Court of Appeals (CA) released Monday its decision on the Globe-PLDT-SMC telco deal, which favored the private sector.

The CA upheld the legality of the PHP69.1billion telco deal, ordering the PCC to “cease and desist from conducting further proceedings for the preacquisition review and/or investigation of the subject

acquisition."

“The Philippine Competition Commission has yet to receive the official copy of the decision from the Court of Appeals. Rest assured, however, that we will take the appropriate legal steps to move this multi-billion acquisition case forward,” the PCC said.

The CA’s decision effectively stops any third player from competing with the duopoly of the two big firms in the local telco industry.

“We note that a year after the sale, the public continues to complain of slow, expensive and poor quality of internet and mobile services. If anything, this has further fueled our determination to safeguard the market and promote the

interests of consumers,” the anti-trust body stressed.

To recall, the telco firms claimed that their transaction was deemed approved since they filed a notice of the deal to the PCC. But the PCC argued that the transaction should still undergo review and the notification to the antitrust watchdog should not be filed “merely for the sake of submission.”

“The Philippine Competition Commission is a national government agency duly mandated by law to review mergers and acquisitions for their possible negative impact on fair competition in the market,” PCC said.

“We are firm in our resolve to perform our mandate under the law,” it added. (PNA)

CAGAYAN de Oro City-The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) will be holding the National Inquiry on the Situation of Filipino Indigenous Peoples (IPs) to underscore the commission’s high regard on the policy of the State in recognizing and promoting the rights of Indigenous Cultural Communities or IPs on October 27 at Paula’s Hotel, Tagoloan town, Misamis Oriental.

that form part in the national inquiry on the human rights situation of the Filipino IPs. The National Inquiry was launched on May 25-26 in Iloilo City.

The thematic areas for the inquiry includes the protection and promotion of the IPs’ land and cultural rights, effectiveness of the government process to obtain the Free, Prior and Informed Consent of the IPs, and state of economic and social development of IPs in the Philippines.

The National Inquiry is in line with the commitment of

the CHR in taking account of the IPs’ concerns as protection and promotion of their human rights.

The Commission further encourages local government units’ (LGUs) involvement in these kinds of activities in furthering the implementation of the IPs Rights Act of 1997.

The National Inquiry aims to produce a recommendatory report on IP-related problems to be endorsed to government agencies, which bear equal mandate to protect the welfare of the IPs in the country. (CHR/RTP/PIA10)

Why? Because they made no preparations for this momentous event. They carelessly took it for granted, not even making the effort to bring sufficient oil for their lamps.

streams of living waters, where no tears shall mar the beauty of our ageless faces, and where we will praise and worship at the Master’s feet.

Since there is a scarcity of eyewitness for heaven, questions bombard our minds about this marvelous land. What’s it like? How will we look there? What will we do there? But really, the only question to ask and the most important of all is: Shall I get there?

I read about this conversation between two friends. One friend asked, “Shall we know each other

rorist groups will surely happen again, even in the very near future.

This was the startling assessment given by Professor Jayeel Cornelio, the director of the Development Studies Program of the Ateneo De Manila University, during an interview by broadcaster Ricky Rosales in the daily program “Kabayan” over ABS CBN DZMM (630 kHz, on the AM band) on Thursday, October 26, 2017.

According to Cornelio, any attempt to make Marawi City rise again will not succeed if it involves only the putting up of new structures, buildings, homes, lucrative livelihood programs, or even the pumping in of billions

of government funds into the city. The professor said there is an equally urgent need to include in the government’s rehabilitation efforts the strengthening of spirituality among city residents.

-ooo HOW TO MAKE VIOLENT EXTREMISM IRRELEVANT IN MARAWI: What Cornelio said in gist was that, efforts must be directed first and foremost by the Duterte government towards resolving the question, “how can violent extremism be rendered irrelevant in rebuilding Marawi City?” to make sure that the mayhem perpetrated by terrorist groups in the city would

Cornelio stressed that the violent extremism employed by the Maute-ISIS group in its five-month occupancy of Marawi City can be made irrelevant to a large extent if the Duterte government will focus its energies on upholding the dignity of a human being, avoiding the pitfalls of measuring the success of rehabilitation efforts on the number of new buildings that have See rehab, page 11

Think A Minute

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Think a minute…Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does that kind, honest person who does the right thing get fired from his job? And why does that evil crook become rich and get away with lying and cheating? Maybe you’ve asked yourself: “If God is so good, then why doesn’t He do something?” We feel like the little girl who wanted a big new bicycle. But her father told her no because she had to wait until she was bigger. The girl got angry and said, “Then I want a new Daddy!”

Sometimes when we don’t agree with God we act like that little girl who can’t trust her father, even

though He knows much more than her. He understands that she’s not ready for a big bicycle. But she just thinks her father’s not fair or doesn’t really love her.

Our problem sometimes is that we’re looking for the wrong answer. We don’t believe what God is doing is for our happiness, or that He’s even isn’t listening to us. But He is. In fact, He’s answering needs in your life you don’t even know about!

As one wise person prayed: “God, don’t punish me by giving me everything I ask for.” You see, many times we simply don’t know what will make us happy for the rest of our lives. We just want to

be comfortable and happy for the moment right now.

But God is trying to help us and make sure we are happy forever. So He’s trying to fix the bigger problem of our heart and relationship with Him our Maker.

Does that mean Jesus doesn’t care about our suffering now? No, it’s just the opposite. Jesus cares very much! He knows exactly what it feels like to be hurt and suffer unfairly for something you didn’t do. When God the Son Himself, Who was completely innocent, took all the pain and penalty for our wrongs and sins, He cried out to God the Father: “Why have you left me?”

Even Jesus Himself, after

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

He became a human being, did not get the answer He wanted right away. Was it fair? No. But it was God’s mercy and love for us and our only hope, since God the Son’s death was the only way He could forgive you and me to give us a new life.

So why not put your life in the hands of your Maker Who loves you that much?

Decide today to start living for Him His way, knowing that everything He does in your life is for your permanent happiness and success.

Haier eyes Internet of Things to transform GE Appliances Zhang Ruimin, who turned ailing fridge factory into giant, says ‘smart’ gadgets will boost profits Xie Yu I Beijing yu.xie@scmp.com

Chinese home appliance manufacturer Haier is seeking to speed up the turnaround at its recently acquired GE Appliances, deploying a strategy that will leverage the development of a data platform and the connectivity of appliances based on the internet of things, company chairman Zhang Ruimin said, “We are targeting double the revenue and profit in the next five years” he said.

Zhang, a delegate to the 19th party congress, shared his views with the Post on the sidelines of the meeting under way in Beijing.

Haier acquired the home appliance unit from General Electric for US$5.6 billion in June last year.

The US corporation had been seeking a buyer for the struggling business amid profit growth in the low single digits. GE had initiated proceedings to spin off the appliance unit eight years before the sale to Haier.

Zhang, 68, said a strategy to help turn the business around had begun to find traction, as profit growth for the first nine months of 2017 had risen to 10 per cent on year.

He said profit would

continue to improve amid a push to embrace the internet of things.

“Imagine by touching the screen on your fridge, you can buy things from online shops,” said Zhang, who transformed an ailing fridge factory in Qingdao into Haier, one of China’s biggest white goods makers.

He added that consumers would also be able to use smart phones apps to find out useful information when more appliances are web-enabled.

“By using apps on your cellphone, you can check which laundry room close to you has washing machines available,” he said.

Zhang said a one-time purchase of an appliance actually opened the door for more consumption on the platform built by Haier.

For example, the smart laundry room model, which makes use of big data, has been successful on the Japanese market.

“We learned from GE, particularly its famous ‘six sigma’ quality control discipline in the 1990s,” Zhang said.

“But I believe the key to success in business is always quickly switching to the right track. Haier is

on the right track now, with our grip on the internet, and we will bring the know-how to GE.” Zhang has applied his out-of-the-box thinking to Haier’s own human resources, breaking the giant company with 60,000 employees into more than 1,000 business units that act like customer-focused start-ups.

“The governance structure, performance and payment system has been overhauled,” he said.

“In the past, different departments like research and development, production, and sales work were in a linear relationship.

But we have broken that structure, and created many small, nimble work units, which can better respond to consumers’ demand.”

To achieve that, Haier eliminated a middle management team of more than 12,000.

Among other incentives, the company offers financial rewards for employees who pitch winning ideas for new products and services.

The payments are determined by the market performance of the products.

Zhang said the model would be introduced to GE, even as the adoption would be gradual because of different rules and the

influence of trade unions.

Zhang described GE’s management system as “comprehensive and rigid”, adding that they need to embrace the changes, otherwise they will not survive”.

“The times are different.

We are in the internet age,” he said.

Zhang said he was optimistic about the European market and had potential merge and acquisition targets under consideration, but the priority for now was to “establish GE Appliances”.

“Many people are watching us. I was told by a Harvard Business School dean that they have hope for us and expect GE Appliance to become a role model for large US companies seeking transformation,” he said.

Haier’s profits rose 12.8 per cent in 2016 on year to 20.3 billion yuan (HK$23.8 billion) while revenue increased 6.8 per cent to 201.6 billion yuan. Transaction volume on business-tobusiness and consumeroriented internet platforms rose 73 per cent to 272.7 billion yuan.

In 2011, Haier bought Panasonic Corp’s Sanyo Electric washing machine and refrigerator units in Japan and Southeast Asia for US$130 million.

A year later, it took full

control of New Zealand’s biggest white goods maker, Fisher & paykel Appliances Holdings, in a deal worth US$766 million.

Haier holds 1.1 per cent of the US appliance market while GE Appliances claims nearly 14 per cent of the same market, US media CNET reported last June.

Haier is the World number one brand and manufacturer of freezer for the 8th consecutive year supplying both inverter and semi-inverter product line.

Haier group is now the owner of G.E. Appliance, Sanyo, Fisher and Fykel, Cassarte etc. covering the worlds market with highend quality and design.

3 Things You Will Love About Italian Living

By Maia Poblete

Every time I hear someone say, “I’m going to Italy,” my envy meter rises. I have always loved the idea of living the sweet life (la dolce vita) in Italy, even for just a couple of days. I had the chance to experience this back in 1996, but it was a short stay (three days). I have no idea if I can ever recreate that, but if given the chance, I’d jump at the opportunity.

So when I found out that there’s an Italianinspired condominium here in Cagayan de Oro, I knew my dreams were finally about to come true.

And I wasn’t disappointed.

Primavera Residences is the city’s first eco-friendly mixed-used condominium.

It is also an Italianinspired masterpiece designed by Architect Romolo Nati, CEO of Italpinas Development Corporation, developer of the said condo. The 10-storey residential building is located in the model community of uptown CDO. What sets Primavera Residences apart is its ecofriendly features. If you’re like me and you don’t like heat getting inside your house (or room), you’ll be grateful for the cantilevers that surround the building and protect the units from direct sunlight. Ventilation is also good as air can freely flow in and out of the building. With all these features, you’re guaranteed

to benefit from lesser energy consumption even in the hot summer months.

Italian Living All the features previously mentioned are essential for creating a convenient lifestyle.

But Primavera is one step ahead because it incorporates touches of Italian living – from the physical aspects down to the environment.

As the building is Italian-inspired, Primavera Residences will help you learn to love Italian living.

Specifically, you will discover that: 1. Italian living means looking and feeling good.

Since Italy, particularly Milan, is big on fashion, this is an important part of Italian living. And this does not apply only to how you dress up but also on what your home looks and feels like. A well-designed home – not necessarily an expensive one – is essential for Italians.

So if you know how to mix and match fashion – which jacket should be

paired with which trouser or which pair of shoes goes well with your favorite jeans and t-shirt – you should also know how to keep your home in tiptop shape. You don’t need to buy branded furniture or even the latest trend in home appliances. What’s important is that the most important things are there: a comfortable living room set, a bed you’d want to sleep the whole day in, a dining table ideal for the family, and so on.

Italian living means being stylish and comfortable without being costly.

2. Italian living means enjoying good meals.

Italians like eating and celebrating – even when there’s no special occasion.

These celebrations usually overflow with food and the best wines.

For Italians, however, a good meal is not just about delicious dishes. Rather, a good meal is an art. It has to have the right setting and the right mood. Food has to be cooked with

love and passion. And the celebration should be in a special place – like your home, where the family can gather and feast together.

3. Italian living means opening doors and welcoming friends.

In Italy, everyone is entitled to enjoy “la dolce vita”. So they’re always ready and willing to welcome family, friends, and even colleagues to their homes – to celebrate and enjoy life. For them, life becomes more meaningful, fun, and beautiful when shared with somebody.

If you live in a place like Primavera Residences, you’ll be happy (and proud) to welcome guests to your beautiful home.

And, yes, even to your Italian friends – because they’ll feel right at home in a world-class Italianinspired architectural masterpiece.

Primavera City Italian living will now be even easier to reach as Italpinas is

currently developing Primavera City. This groundbreaking project, which was launched in the 3rd quarter of 2016, is practically a city within a city. It is mixed-use condominium that has everything you need – residential units, commercial establishments, offices, sports and leisure facilities, hotel-like amenities, and green features.

It is the first of its kind here in Cagayan de Oro and it’s creating a lot of excitement because it’s functional, eco-friendly, and practical. And, yes, it epitomizes what Italian living really is.

Primavera City has units that are tailored to suit your needs. Each unit is made with top of the line construction materials. Extra attention is given to details to make sure that the quality of your future home is beyond exceptional.

Modern Italian-inspired design is combined with smart, functional, and eco-friendly style to create residential units that are comfortable, convenient, safe, and elegant.

In addition, Primavera City has state-of-theart first-class amenities.

There’s a Sky Garden that offers a breathtaking view of Macajalar Bay. The Sky Pool Area is where you can lounge and relax or swim your heart out after a stressful day. You can also work on those muscles at the gym. And you and your adorable kids can play all you want at the playground. All of these amenities are found at the roof deck of the building.

Also, getting together with family and friends will be a breeze as Primavera City has its own function hall. So you’ll have the time of your life living “la dolce vita” by dancing and singing the day or night away with special people.

Other unique and interesting features Primavera City offers include solar panels, 24/7 CCTV security surveillance, emergency power provided by a generator, elevators, a 24-hour reception area (similar to hotels), natural ventilation, and photovoltaic panels for lesser energy consumption.

So if you want to experience Italian living at its finest right here in Cagayan de Oro, it has to be with Primavera City.

President Duterte renews pledge to make Philippines safe, progressive

D

U R I N G the 6th Philippine Professional Summit held in Manila, on October 26, President Rodrigo D uter te rene we d his commitment to make the country safe, progressive and free from corruption and criminality.

In his message to the country’s professionals, the President raised the major challenges that the country confronts today such as terrorism, corr uption, criminality and illegal drugs.

The President said he worries about renewed a t t a c k s f r o m Is l a m i c extremism that is connected to the violence in Mindanao.

And as the government w r ap s up it s s e c u r it y operations in Marawi City, he warned about possible retaliatory attacks from Islamist terrorists after they were defeated in Marawi.

“May I just remind you to be vigilant and always (to be)aware that extremism is the problem of the planet today,” President Duterte said.

“Retaliation and vengeance is not far-fetched.

So that you might want to just also be ready. Not at this time, but to, I said, raise your awareness of how dangerous the world is today.”

The President stressed that ISIS-inspired terrorists might resort to lone wolf attacks similar to what Islamists did in Europe.

President Duterte also mentioned corruption and how it affected the country’s social fabric.

He said he is committed to fight corruption, noting that he can’t do it alone.

The President said he wants the public to help his government by being assertive and vigilant. He said corruption would not prosper if the people would not tolerate it.

President Duterte then encouraged the public to contact him directly or

use the anti-corruption mechanisms that he has set up to get rid of unscrupulous officials.

The people could also call hotline 8888 to raise their complaints.

“The first whiff nga sinabi ko, if it’s a case of corruption, you can go to my office or you can make an appointment and tell me about it. I will give you that privilege, to the ordinary citizen and to the rich people. If you think that you are aggrieved by corruption, I will give you that privilege,” Duterte said.

Expressing his seriousness against corruption, the President said he recently fired two undersecretaries for using their position.

The President a ls o vowed to go after abusive big businesses that do not pay correct taxes and evade accountability. He said he has no political baggage because he rejected campaign donations from top business interests during the last election.

At the same time, he renewed his commitment to eliminate illegal drugs

in the country, which he said threatens the next generation of Filipinos.

He told his audience not to b elie ve p oliticallymotivated accusations against his administration’s campaign versus the drug trade.

Lastly, there should be an exchange of technology, knowledge, and skills within the industry,” said Lopez.

Likewise, he added that a more liberal policy in the construction industry would boost the appetite of foreign investors to participate in local infrastructure projects.

But Lopez noted that these policies should drive foreign investors to participate in big-ticket projects in order for the country to also benefit from the technologies they would be bringing in.

Never take your own revenge The Gospel of Jesus Christ (October28, 2017-Saturday) John 13:21-33” He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon

Iscariot. After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the

feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor.

Betrayal is an act of ungratefulness. There are many instances that we are betrayed by the people around us although we are good to them. The most painful betrayal is done by our family members. Some husbands betrayed their wives. In reverse,

Biblical reflection

some wives also betrayed their husbands.

Children betrayed their parents and parents do it also the same towards their children. Betrayal is always happenings in friends. Are you betrayed already? In my experiences, I had many betrayals in my life from the ministry members, relatives and friends and co workers of God. But

this is natural occurrence in our lives since Jesus was a victim of betrayal.

The only thing we can do towards our traitors is to pray for their enlightenment and repentance.

Let us kill them by our goodness and kindness.

Romans 12:19-21”Never take your own revenge, Bro. Edcel L. Closas beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, GEANCE IS MINE, I for it is written, “VEN- WILL REPAY.

There are plenty of innovations in that are already in currency but have not ye t ha d a profound inf luence o n e d u c at i o n . T h e r e are learning strategies that we used in Senior High School. Some of these are the following: a.) Crossover learning which means learning i n i n for m a l s e tt i ng s , such as museums and after-school clubs, can link educational content with issues that matter to learners in their lives.

These connections work in both directions; b.)

L e ar ning t hroug h argumentation in which students can advance

their understanding of science and mathematics by arguing in ways similar to professional scientists and mathematicians. Argumentation helps students attend to contrasting ideas, which can deepen their learning. It makes technical reasoning public, for all to learn; c.) Incidental learning is unplanned or unintentional learning.

It may occur while carrying out an activity that is seemingly unrelated to what is learned. Incidental learning is present among Senior High School students who are fond of exploring things and learned from it; d.)

Context-based learning enable students to learn from experience. By interpreting new information in the context of where and when it occurs and relating it to what we already know, they come to understand its relevance and meaning and lastly e.) Embodied learning which involves s elf - awareness of t he body interacting with a real or simulated world to support the learning process. In embodied learning, the aim is that mi nd and b o dy work together so that physical feedback and actions reinforce the learning process.

service has already been restored to all areas including elevated areas.

This was further affirmed in an advisory issued by COWD’s Public Relations Information Division Thursday (October 26, 2017): “Rio Verde’s underwater pipeline was commissioned back at 6PM yesterday. Supply came through the COWD take off point at around 9PM and started stabilizing at a flow rate of about 1,700 cu.m/ hr. Supply to most parts of the west service area was restored by 11PM. We shall continue to regularly monitor the delivery of Rio Verde at the take off point.”

Several barangays in the west part of the city experienced very low pressure to no water when Rio Verde’s 650mm main transmission pipe under the Cagayan River was damaged by strong river currents and the series of earthquakes which hit the city in the last six weeks.

According to the COWD, the shutdown of Rio Verde’s main transmission line initially affected some 24,953 connections.

Gradually, water supply was restored to 95% of these areas starting 07 October. By that date, only 1,937 connections, mostly in Lumbia and Opol remained either waterless or with very intermittent supply.

The COWD focused water delivery using water tankers to supply these areas.

In an advisory sent to this paper, COWD confirmed also that “though repairs will be completed by Wednesday, it will take one more day for sufficient pressure to be built before normal supply to the affected areas will be restored. Therefore, COWD customers in Lumbia, those along Masterson Avenue and those residing in elevated portions of Opol may expect normal supply

by Thursday (October 26).”

However, a chance encounter by this writer with two residents of Lumbia confirmed that the barangay was actually mostly unaffected by the water shortage since 70% of all households in the barangay were already being served by the Kyogojo Cooperative, a barangay initiative that set up a water sourcing and distribution system some years ago with some 1,648 connections to date.

The Kyogojo coop is a Barangay Water Supply Association (BWSA) which has a contract with Barangay Lumbia for the operation and maintenance of its barangay waterworks.

“Hindi na talaga kinaya ang blood transfusion. But those who survived did many thanks to our doctors here in CDO (referring to the common acronym of the city),” he added.

Almodovar also thanked a group of people who were instrumental in adopting the families of those recuperating from their battle wounds.

During the dinner tendered in his honor, Almodovar pulled off a surprise of his own by handing out a token of appreciation to Xavier University High School Batch ’90, whose members have allowed relatives of wounded soldiers to stay in their homes while the troops were recuperating.

One teary-eyed soldier was also grateful to an Oro family who took care of his ailing child while he was fighting in the streets of Marawi.

The Jester asked, “Where are you going?”

The King answered, “I don’t know.”

The Jester asked, “When will you be back?”

The King answered, “I’m not coming back.”

The Jester asked, “What provisions have you made for your journey?”

The King answered, “I made no provisions.”

The Jester said, “You are going on a long journey. You don’t know your destination.

And you made no provision?”

The Jester left the king’s chamber but quickly returned.

He said, “O King, I believe this belongs to you.” And he presented the king with the special cane, with gold handle and made of red cedar wood.

Don’t be a big fool. Heaven is calling. Prepare for your journey now!

Let me share this story that jolted me to plan with urgency my life’s journey.

In a small kingdom, the king ordered that a special cane be made. It has a gold handle and made of red cedar wood.

Then he called his Jester and presented the cane to him. The Jester asked, “Your Majesty, why are you giving me this cane?”

The King answered, “This cane belongs to the biggest fool of all. You are that fool.”

The Jester asked, “What will I do with this cane?”

The King answered, “Keep it until you find someone who is a bigger fool than you.”

Many years passed. One day the King called the Jester to his deathbed. The King said, “Jester, I am going on a long

“We should also seriously look into the religious angle in Marawi, which is something that is not heard at all today,” Cornelio lamented. It is quite clear that religious leaders and other wellmeaning citizens coming from the different sectors of society in Marawi, who should also have a say in how the city is going to be revived, have not been consulted in any way on the plans for its rehabilitation.

-ooo CHALLENGE TO THE DUTERTE GOV’T: To a large degree, what Cornelio was saying on Thursday gave me the creeps, literally and figuratively, because this is a theme that we have harped on incessantly for quite some time in this column.

We have been very outspoken that any effort to give our people and our country a better deal would always be dependent on the Filipinos’ having the requisite fear and love of God. Regardless of how we perceive

It is God who gives us the power and the capability to live full and satisfactory lives and that, if we will not recognize Him as our God, nothing good is ever going to come to us.

The challenge, then, to the Duterte government based on what Professor Cornelio is espousing on the matter of rebuilding Marawi City is simple enough: we should all prepare plans and programs for the city based on a strengthened faith in God, under a healthy fear and love for Him at all times, whether one is a Christian or a Muslim.
