Pompee La Viña gets support from gov’t, business sectors L
By MARK FRANCISCO, Reporter
OCAL government and business leaders welcomed the assumption of Phividec administrator Jose Gabriel “Pompee” La Viña, saying it would breathe new face in the industrial zone and help steer the economy of Northern Mindanao which has suffered a blow in the ongoing pandemic. Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno congratulated his erstwhile nemesis, saying it is the prerogative of the President to appoint anyone
BJMP police disarmed, CDO files criminal raps BY CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY: The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) said that the police officers, who reportedly “harassed” the medical workers here, were disarmed pending results of the investigation. Jail Inspector Danilo Delgado, the spokesperson of the BJMP in Northern Mindanao, said that the BJMP is waiting for the result of the investigation as the basis for their action while the police personnel are confined to See FILES, page 19

Rufus Rodriguez said that La Viña is "fully qualified for the job and he has the dedication, integrity and work ethics to perform well for Phividec." "He likewise has the energy and efficiency to attract more locators/investors to Phividec and more employment to our people of Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City," Rodriguez said.

PAMANA projects to transform MILF camp to peace, dev’t zone ABOUT 52 kilometers or a one hour and thirty minute drive from this bustling northern Mindanao city is the town of Munai, Lanao del Norte, where the Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s (MILF) Camp Bilal proudly stands.
The camp was considered as one of the major strongholds of the MILF, which became the site of fierce gun battles during the all-out-war in 2000 between the revolutionary organization and government forces.
For several months, the deafening sound of mortar fire and air strikes reverberated across the hinterland municipality, as residents fled their homes and sought refuge in evacuation centers scattered across the province.
From battleground to show window of peace But after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CAB) between the government and the MILF, the camp has started to undergo an amazing transformation and has
ushered a new chapter in the people’s history. The peace deal paved the way for the entry of development interventions in the area. Among them is the government’s PAyapa at MAsaganang PamayaNAn See PAMANA, page 19

Family eyes Writ of Kalikasan vs Davao-Samal bridge project D
By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV, MindaNews
AVAO CITY – A family operating two resorts in Samal Island might be forced to seek relief from the Supreme Court through a Writ of Kalikasan to stop the Davao City-Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) bridge project if government ignores its appeal to move its landing site to save the rich marine life in Paradise Reef. Lawyer Julito Sarmiento, chief executive officer and founder of Climate Change Adaptation Resettlement Earth (CARE) Commune,
said in a virtual press conference on Thursday that the filing of the writ serves as the last resort for the Rodriguez family. The writ is a legal remedy that provides protection for the people’s constitutional right to a healthy environment. Sarmiento said the family has been negotiating with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and HongKong-based consultant Ove Arup, to convince them to reconsider the chosen landing site, from August
2019 when they came to know about, instead of immediately going to court. He said Ove Arup chose Paradise Island Park and Beach Resort and Costa Marina Beach Resort, both owned by the family, as the landing site of the 3.98-kilometer bridge, threatening marine life in the reef. “They are themselves asking for the delay of the bridge and no matter how difficult it is for the family that there will be a delay because a Writ of Kalikasan will certainly delay it, then, the family will have no choice, despite strong reservation, if there
City Central School Stakeholders’ Initiative for Adopt-a-School Program GRACELYN F. MACALAM, SPED-CDO City Central School
Brigada Eskwela Program was launched when the official opening of the School Year 2020-2021 commenced last August 3, 2020. With the Covid-19 pandemic ongoing, the customary community services that the stakeholders have rendered was put to a halt. The shift to the new normal for the preparation of student’s learning modality gained favor in opting for the modular approach. Schools have proposed various ways wherein the stakeholders can continue to assist the Brigada Eskwela Program. In response, City Central School has strengthened the Adopt- a -School Program for participating stakeholders from private companies to local government units under the Division of Cagayan de Oro City. Last August 7, 2020, the Inner Wheel Club of West Cagayan de Oro District 385 showed
their support and generosity to learners with special needs in this school with a donation of materials for teachers to use in the reproduction of modules. The turnover spearheaded by Honorable Gigi Go and Attorney Rocky Villanueva was witnessed CCS Lead Principal Duque A. Caguindangan, SpEd Coordinator/ Head Teacher Joanna Ruby L. Presente, Sped Teacher Grade Leader Leandro I. Neri and the rest of the SPED teachers. “The materials such as
bond papers and ink for printer can go an extra mile and help our teachers in the reproduction of their learning activity packages (LAP)” said Ms. Presente. “We are truly blessed with the kindness that was shown to our students with special needs amidst this pandemic. Our heartfelt gratitude to our school’s partners and stakeholders for helping us in providing quality education.” stated Mr. Neri.

is no other option, the last resort of the family is to file a Writ of Kalikasan. That would delay the construction of the bridge, which the family, of course, does not want to happen,” he said. Sarmiento added the family has been asking the government to move the land portion of the bridge project to Bridgeport, the old shipyard in Babak District, which the Japan International Cooperation Agency identified as the “best site” in its feasibility study conducted in 2016. Bridgeport is a 12-hect-
are township project of Damosa Land Inc. owned by the family of former Davao del Norte 2nd District representative Antonio “Tony Boy” Floirendo Jr., a close ally of President Rodrigo R. Duterte and one of his top campaign funders. In a 100-page project description of “Samal Island-Davao City Connector Project” published on the website of the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the land portion of the bridge will fall on
residential and industrial areas in Barangay Hizon from the side of Davao City. It added that the alignment on the other end of the bridge will be positioned between the two Rodriguez family-owned resorts, as well as near to Mercado Subdivision which will serve as the indirect impact areas in Barangays Caliclic and Limao from the Samal side. The bridge, one of the 75 big-ticket flagship projects under the “Build, Build, Build” program of the Duterte administration, See KALIKASAN, page 17
Administrative assistant experience By WENDELYN C. BOCALA
A stellar administrative assistant can be a company’s secret weapon. Administrative assistant used to be synonymous with things like scheduling, bookkeeping, and arranging travel. Not so today. While these functions are still an important part of the job, these days admins are tasked with a lot more. Often, administrative assistants take on front-line strategic functions traditionally relegated to HR or operations – things like onboarding new hires and event planning.
Modern day adminstrative assistants are also often tasked with managing both in-house and remote company culture through an employee recognition software. More and more, maintaining a positive office culture is critical for recruiting and retaining top talent, engaging employees, and inspiring them to perform their best. A school's administrative assistant is very often tasked with culture-related responsibilities like planning off-sites, managing perks like office snacks,
JOY& THATA LECHON LIVESTOCK TRADING
and generally maintaining the office vibe. When it comes down to it, administrative assistants are expected to keep things running smoothly, no matter what it takes. Think of them sort of like the “utility player” in baseball. They’re Jacksand Jills-of-all-trades, expected to perform at a high level in a ton of different situations. When you’re an administrative assistant, everyone’s always counting on you to have a solution for every problem or a tool to use for every need.

Five Hundred Years Without Love
This is the title of the new book written by bestselling author Alex Lacson, and which was officially launched last August 31, 2020 during National Heroes Day. It is a gripping novel that takes a comprehensive and holistic view of the country’s present-day social cancer, 133 years after Dr. Jose Rizal wrote his “Noli Me Tangere” in 1887. Through the life of Anton Hinirang, a young lawyer born to a poor family, and the struggles and misery of the members of Anton’s family, the writer painstakingly tries to expose the various root causes of our country’s social malaise at present, which result in the continuing massive poverty, powerlessness, and misery among the majority of the Filipino people. The book is also about the story of the Filipino in the last 500 years. It is about why we are what we are today. Why the Filipino is who and what he is today, in the eyes of his children, and in the eyes of the world. There is so much history of the Filipino in the novel. The book is about love in its core, particularly love
for the least and last. It is about how we can build a country with love, brethrenhood, and the common good as its foundations. It is about how we can make the Philippines a better country, and make the Filipino great and respected in the global community. The book zeroes in on the social cancer afflicting our people - greed, lust for power, abuse of power and position, immorality. What I find uplifting in Lacson’s masterpiece is that the book not merely exposes the problems or the social ills of our nation. It also offers a possible cure or solution. In a very fitting metaphor, Anton helps Miriam, his long-lost childhood sweetheart, to overcome cancer through a combination of change of environment, diet, lifestyle but most of all through his loving care and an abiding faith in God. In the final chapter, Anton writes an essay “A Dream Philippines”. It is a vision of a developed, prosperous, and more humane nation which can be achieved if we can implement a package of reforms,
Ignacio Bunye
mostly economic. These reforms are based on the successful policies and programs of 12 countries that could serve as model countries for the Philippines. Like Miriam, we too can conquer our cancer. A Filipino of Faith I first came to know about Lacson from the late Philippine Star founder and columnist Max Soliven in 2005. According to Soliven, his new car broke down in the middle of Ayala Avenue in heavy Christmas season traffic. Soliven became frantic because he had to catch up with a Malacañan function later in the evening but he could not hail a cab. In the nick of time, Lacson pulled over and asked if Soliven needed assistance. Soliven requested to be dropped me off at any place where he could grab a cab. By coincidence, Lacson was also going to Wack Wack, near Soliven’s residence, to give a talk at a company Christmas party. The company earlier See LOVE, page 17
MINDFUL
Future proofing “IN a time of rapid change, standing still is the most dangerous course of action.” –- Brian Tracy We are living in a world where changes are happening fast, simultaneous, and constant. The way we live, the way we work, the way we do things, and even the people we deal with and work for have changed over a short period of time. To ignore these changes is not an option. To thrive, we need to acknowledge, adapt, and adjust to the forces that are reshaping and will continue to reshape the market and our business. There are 4 major external forces that we need to understand and consider in order to maximize their benefits and future proof our business. 1. Increasing younger population More than 50% of the Philippine population is 36 years old and below. They are what we call the Gen Ys (Millennials) and Gen Zs. The Philippines is considered a sweet spot as our young population will definitely have a positive impact on the economy. Unlike countries with an aging population, we have a more stable pool of workers and a much larger labor force, which can help in the growth of various industries. They are the future managers, business owners, and
decision-makers, the next holder of the purse strings, the next major consumers, the major segment of the market. Therefore, the earlier that we have them as our customers or as business partners, the longer will be our relationship with them, and the better it is for our business. The question... Is your business already into this market? Is it already set up to cater to the needs and wants of this generation? 2. Growing middle market Over the last two decades, the proportion of middle-class Filipinos has increased from 28.5% to 40.8%. A family of five is considered middle class if the household earns anywhere between P25,000/ month and P150,000/month (using 2020 prices, per Albay Representative Joey Salceda). It has been observed that countries with a large number of the middle class tend to grow faster. The middle class plays a vital role in the economy because of their investment and consumption behavior. They make large investments in education and health care, and help improve public services. Even during this pandemic, the middle class continues to drive our economy. They are the front-liners, the start-up online sellers,
Jay Ledesma
the owners of the neighborhood convenience store, bakery, hardware store, parlor or pharmacy, the market vendors, etc. While big companies have ceased or scaled down their operations during the hard times, these small and medium scale entrepreneurs, who are mostly middle class, continue to thrive. This allows them to continue, if not even expand, their purchasing, and spending power. It enables them to provide more jobs thus adding to our pool of middle class. The question...Is your product or service top of mind when they think of spending? How do you get a share of that additional peso they are willing to spend? 3. Accelerating technology advancement The pandemic not only highlighted the importance but fast-tracked the migration of many to the online platforms. Prior to Covid-19, we already saw a number of products, services, and systems that have been automated or digitalized, that required no human interaction or See PROOFING, page 15

Techniques in teaching Math By ALFRED G. BARRIENTOS SST III Ozamiz City National High School
Te a c h i n g m at h i n a mixed-ability classroom should take into account different learning abilities. Teaching in today’s mixed-ability classroom can be a challenge. These days, it’s not uncommon to find a wide range of abilities in the one classroom—from students struggling to grasp new concepts, to those who are way ahead of their peers from day one. This factor has contributed to a range of problems for early math learners, including a large achievement gap between studenbeneyhile individual students do beneyfit from different learning styles, there are a range of effective strategies which can help all students to succeed. Additionally, the highly engaging, self-paced Mathseeds program offers
a research-based solution for mixed-ability K–2 math classrooms, making math fun, interactive, and personalized for young learners. Elementary math can be difficult because it involves learning new, abstract concepts that can be tricky for children to visualize. Try to imagine what it’s like for a five-yearold to see an addition problem for the very first time. Since it’s a totally new concept to them, it can be hard for them to visualize a scenario where one quantity is added to another. Man ipu l at ive s are hands-on tools that make math a lot easier for young children to understand. Tools like Lego, clay, and wooden blocks can all be used in the classroom to demonstrate how math ideas work.

Education’s role in Transforming education building a better planet during a pandemic CATHERINE FUENTES Teacher II Ozamiz City School of Arts and Trade
THE COVID-19 pandemic is a stark reminder that we live in a socio-ecological system in which our human systems are deeply interconnected with our natural systems. Yet our education systems do not educate us to recognize, respect, or nurture this interdependency. The zoonotic nature of the coronavirus has exposed how human-caused environmental degradation and destruction of wildlife habitats have increased human risk of exposure to new infectious diseases, not to mention contribute to the current climate crisis. What would a transformative education for climate action look like? For starters, according to a Brookings analysis forthcoming this winter, it would include basic
knowledge of climate change and the development of sustainability competencies (like systems thinking and strategic thinking) and green skills (like coping with uncertainty and working within complexity) to ensure—at a minimum—pro-environmental behaviors and a green job-ready workforce capable of helping us transition to a greener economic model. Beyond leveraging education to help us achieve such practical changes, a transformative education must also set in motion deeper epistemic changes in the way we view the human and natural world—a shift and expansion of our mindsets that enables the political transformations needed in the social and economic structures driving climate change.

THE entire world is currently trying to come to terms with COVID-19 which has unleashed an unprecedented crisis. Besides widespread sufferings and loss of jobs, the pandemic has significantly disrupted the education sector. Children have been the worst sufferers during the COVID-19 induced lockdown. Their schools are closed and they are confined to their homes for no fault of their own. Amid this unprecedented scenario, the schools had to rethink over the strategies to keep the educational ball rolling and the entire management and the teachers have participated and contributed their bit to keep the children energetic and enthusiastic. Although these changes
were not easy to adapt, they have undoubtedly paved the way to achieve new milestones in the education sector. Considering the importance and urgency of conducting online classes, private school teachers left no stone unturned while teaching their students online. The diligence and dedication with which each teacher worked to make online classes successful is commendable and incomparable. We believe that resilience is an important part of growth and change and that there are several ways to cultivate and inspire resilience in people. The current challenging time has given the people a chance to look at their problems from a different perspective.

BIR assures Senate of full support for FIST bill
HE Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has assured senators of its full support for a measure that seeks to allow banks to dispose of their bad loans and other non-performing assets through wouldbe asset management companies, which, in turn, will enable them to offer a steady flow of credit to businesses hit hard by the coronavirusinduced global economic downturn. BIR Commissioner Caesar Dulay gave this assurance during a recent joint hearing of the Senate committees on banks, financial institutions and currencies and on ways and means. Dulay told senators he had also written to Banks Committee Chair Senator Grace Poe formally manifesting the BIR's support for the proposed Financial Institutions Strategic Transfer (FIST) bill, one of the measures backed by the Department of Finance (DOF) as part of the government's economic recovery program.
“While we have stated also that the tax incentives may affect our revenues in terms of foregone revenues, on the balance, we believe that the objectives of the bill will far outweigh the effect on our revenue collections,” Dulay said. The Senate ways and means committee is headed by Sen. Pia Cayetano. In his letter to Poe, Dulay reiterated the BIR’s support for the FIST bill and offered the bureau’s assistance to the Senate by way of providing financial data relevant to the ongoing deliberations on the measure. “Finally, we are one with the DOF, Bureau of the Treasury (BTr), Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and other government agencies (in) calling for the immediate passage of the FIST bill as we are confident that it will greatly contribute towards the stabilization of the Philippine financial system,” Dulay wrote. Dulay added that the tax incentives provided under the FIST bill “should not be perpetual but time bound.”
He also cited the sufficient safety measures under the FIST bill, such as “the imposition of penalties and administrative sanctions in case any person violates any of its provisions.” Dulay further assured Poe that once the FIST bill is passed into law, the BIR would swiftly act on the issuances necessary to effectively implement its tax provisions. “Once the law is approved, we will see to it that the revenue regulations and the IRR (implementing rules and regulations) will be issued out, maybe within the next six months,” Dulay said during the hearing. Senate Bill (SB) No. 1594 or FIST aims to create specialized asset-managing firms that would acquire “bad loans and stagnant properties” from distressed financial institutions. The House of Representatives earlier passed its version of FIST—House Bill (HB) No. 6816—before the sine die adjournment of the Congress in June. President Duterte
described the FIST bill as a key component of the government’s plan to recover from the pandemic-induced crisis, and urged the Congress to act swiftly on the measure during his 5th State-of-theNation Address (SONA) Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III stressed that swift action to preserve the asset quality of banking institutions will ensure the continued strength of the financial sector and help the economy recover faster from the global health and economic crises spawned by the pandemic. Dominguez said during the same Senate joint hearing that the FIST bill will guarantee a steady source of credit for the pandemic-hit sectors of the economy while providing safeguards to consumers. The proposed asset management companies under FIST are an “improved version” of the special purpose vehicles (SPVs) provided under a 2002 law passed by Congress to stem the economic damage from the
1997 Asian financial crisis that lasted till the early 2000s, Dominguez said. Allowing banks to outsource the handling of their non-performing assets to asset management companies will enable them to focus on their primary task of lending to sectors in need of credit and encourage the private sector, government financial institutions (GFIs) and governmentowned or -controlled corporations (GOCCs) to help rehabilitate distressed businesses, he added. The measure provides tax incentives to defray the transaction and transfer costs of non-performing assets to asset management companies. Dominguez said this would entail foregone revenues of between P3.3 billion and P13 billion every year for the next five years to clear the books of banks of bad debts, and to keep the economy going. “We believe that the economic benefits of strengthening the financial sector through this effort outweigh the fiscal costs of doing so,” he said.

Surigao Sur IP leaders: We Won the Fight for Quality IP Education Lianga, Surigao Del Sur (ADS) – “We won the fight to have quality Education,” Hawudon Jumar S. Bucales, Lianga Indigenous People Mandatory Representative (IPMR) and Datu Constancio Duhac, Lianga Tribal Chieftain, said during the Inauguration ceremony of two DepEd IP Schools of Living Traditions on September 16 to the IP communities and the local government units in Sitio Simowao in Lianga and Sitio Lucnodon in Marihatag to replace non-DepEd accredited and communist NPA terrorist (CNT)-linked Tribal Filipino Program in Surigao del Sur (TRIFPSS). Bayan Muna representatives Eufemia Cullamat, a native of Lianga and the Makabayan bloc have been
continuously opposing the establishment of DepEd accredited IP schools accusing the government, particularly the NTF-ELCAC of depriving the IPs’ of education because of its closure order to TRIFPSS and ALCADEV and discredits the military’s Community Support Program in the IP communities during the budget hearing in Congress. Yet, Surigao Sur IP leaders have been vocal in their support to the NTF-ELCAC and have lambasted Cullamat and her cohorts and identified them as cuddlers of NPAs. “When the government addresses the root causes of insurgency and confronts the NPAs through combat operations, they oppose, but when it comes to NPAs’
Modular learning in the time of pandemic By ANABEL A. VILLAVELEZ, Teacher I Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted school opening woes that have long existed even before the health crisis happened. Modular learning is the "backbone" of the DepEd's distance learning program as access to technology remains a problem for most students. Other modes of learning such as online, and TV and radio broadcasts would supplement the modules. With traditional faceto-face classes still not an option due to the COVID-19 situation, schools have adapted to different learning delivery modalities to continue classes this school year. To help guide schools on how to properly and effectively operate in this new normal setup, the Department of Education (DepEd) released DepEd Order
No. 13, which contains the Readiness Assessment Checklist for Learning Delivery Modalities in the Learning Continuity Plan of Private Schools. This assessment specifies the requirements and standards needed to ensure that schools undertake adequate preparations for the learning delivery modality that they have chosen for this school year. Parents are also involved in the learning of the student since everything will be facilitated inside the home. Unlike online distance learning, modular distance learning is a form of individualized instruction where students can use self-learning modules (SLMs) like textbooks, e-books, activity sheets, and study guides.

killings of innocent IP leaders and members, they are quiet. Cullamat and Makabayan bloc simply cover up the NPAs and discredits the government forces that are enforcing the laws against NPAs,” Datu Rico Maca, IPMR of San Miguel Surigao Del Sur said. Surigao Sur IP leaders have sought the help of the Regional Task Force on Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) to abolish the said schools and replace
them with DepEd IP schools citing that TRIFPSS and ALCADEV breeds NPA terrorists and cadres who have destroyed their culture. Lieutenant Colonel Joey B Baybayan INF PA, 3rd Special Forces “Arrowhead” Battalion Commander said, “The best weapon we can use to counter terrorism is to teach the children the genuine essence of peace. These DepEd IP schools will not only provide quality education but also the right values that can preserve and
even develop the culture and tradition of our indigenous peoples.” Surigao Sur Province, DepEd CARAGA, RTFELCAC member agencies particularly the Regional Peace and Order Committee (RPOC) and Regional Development Council (RDC) stood by the guiding principle that the ‘State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such educa-

School Preparedness and Management in the New Normal Landscape By MARIA VICTORIA C. PARRADO, T-III, Lugait Central School
Running a school community under normal circumstances (pre-pandemic times) is at it is: sometimes smooth, sometimes rough, and a number of times both challenging and rewarding. Managing a school community (with one’s working force in skeletal duty schedules, the ‘now you see them, mostly you don’t’ clienteles, stakeholders and partners, reports monitoring and online submissions, school conferences set in Google Meet in a regular basis, and following through a devoted compliance to minimum health and safety protocols), is something else. Nevertheless, school managers famously known as school principals are continually adapting and adopting. Adapting to the things these actual changes came along with and adopting certain essential measures to get things done, implemented, double checked, evaluated and rightfully intervened or resolved. It is no easy a task to do. Even the
internet connection is a hurdle at which to leap over. The whole country is indeed bemoaning and begrudging the snail speed internet service of peso-squandering telecommunications company. Human and working relations are from time to time being tested as effective communication and lack thereof could tip off the relationship scale among managers and employees, of school heads and teaching staff. Anxiety and stress levels arise as these times easily invite in uncertainty, limited movements and access, worries and fear-based overthinking. It is; standard procedure to prepare the school’s physical environment, to welcome to its grounds the new normal way of working with clienteles, stakeholders and other program and project partners. The school, as a physical location or station, can be maintained with ease and efficiency fueled by a wisely spent school MOOE and the daring innovative strategies of
its administration. Meanwhile, the school as an effectively functioning and producing human organization cannot be successfully led by its principal alone. The teaching staff as a diverse line of individuals must yield to be led and cooperate accordingly to contribute meaningfully without sacrificing one’s mental health, personal safety and already scarce resources. The whole school community and other external partners: local officials, donors, benefactors and other stakeholders) must work together in an inspired and harmonious manner, to prepare the school for the new normal or better educational landscape. For school preparedness and resiliency to be propagated, the school community as a performing organization must first be prepared. The physical preparedness of schools is then achievable, tangible and practicable for the benefit of the public it serves.

How to get good grades in Math By ALFRED G. BARRIENTOS SST III Ozamiz City National High School
When you have your assignment, ensure you do it and complete it on time. Your homework should not be a choice. Think of it as an important way to practice all the concepts you learned in class. Have a regular time and place to handles all your assignments. Always ensure you do not miss a class, most of the math lessons move very fast, and there could be new concepts in each category. What the tutor introduces today builds up to a new idea tomorrow. Look for a study partner; this will come handy when you have legitimate
absences. Find a partner who will help with the right notes when you are not around, and you can call at night to fill in with the assignments. It would help if you established positive relationships with the other students. When you get to the advanced stages, remember to have study groups for all your practice and tests. You need to have a good relationship with your teacher. Most of the classes have about 30 students. Those are the reason you will need to distinguish yourself from the rest.
Modular Modality in the new normal learning system By MERLYN SANCHEZ CALIAO Langcangan Central Elementary School Oroquieta City
Modular learning modality is competency-based then detailed and there are parts or activities for the children to read and answer. If your child/children learned independently prior to the pandemic, this is ideal because there is a lot of reading and activities to do. Parents supervision is needed because there are 10 subjects in each grade level. But under a modular setup, there are only two subjects are given per day. Modular learning modality is effective because parents can focus more on their kids. Modular approach to teaching enables the learner to have control over his/her learning and accepts greater responsibility for learning. It demands greater maturity on the part of the learner. Tthe modules are more appropriate for more mature students. This refers to a learning delivery modality where learning takes place between the teacher and the learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction. This modality has three types: Modular Distance
Learning (MDL), Online Distance Learning (ODL), and TV/Radio-Based Instruction. Involves individualized instruction that allows learners to use selflearning modules (SLMs) in print or digital format/ electronic copy, whichever is applicable in the context of the learner, and other learning resources like Learner’s Materials, textbooks, activity sheets, study guides and other study materials. Learners access electronic copies of learning materials on a computer, tablet PC, or smartphone. CDs, DVDs, USB storage and computerbased applications can all be used to deliver elearning materials, including offline E-books. The teacher takes the responsibility of monitoring the progress of the learners. The learners may ask assistance from the teacher via e-mail, telephone, text message/instant messaging, etc. Where possible, the teacher shall do home visits to learners needing remediation or assistance. Any member of the family or other stakeholder in the community needs to serve as para-teachers.

Fri-Sat, September 18-19, 2020 The question...Is your product or service already in the digital platform? How have you maximized the benefits and convenience of this platform to better serve your clients? 4. Rising awareness of health and wellness There is no doubt that health and wellness have become a priority for Filipinos. More people are going for healthy food, enrolling in fitness gyms, frequenting wellness spa, and including R&R in their busy schedules. Meanwhile, as an essential part of their mission and values, more companies are promoting health and a balanced lifestyle among their employees and the community they serve. My former company even launched a program that not only promotes but rewards clients who observe a healthy lifestyle. As Covid-19 is basically a health crisis, it made more and more people appreciate even better the importance of physical fitness and mental wellness. Something that
medical experts believe will continue long after the pandemic is gone. The question... Is your product or service perceived to be promoting health and wellness? If not yet, what steps have you undertaken to make this happen? There’s no escaping these 4 external forces. Whether we like it or not, they are already happening, and rapidly! If we want to future proof ourselves and our businesses, we better have some serious answers to those questions. We can not do anything.

Education in a post-COVID world CATHERINE FUENTES Teacher II Ozamiz City School of Arts and Trade
DUE to pandemic-related learning losses, students currently in school are estimated to face a $10 trillion reduction in lifetime earnings. Before the pandemic, it was estimated that by 2030, more than half of the world’s children and young people would not have the skills or qualifications necessary to participate in the emerging global workforce. Forced to rethink how education works in the wake of COVID-19, education systems have an opportunity to reimagine learning and equip students with the cognitive, creative, social, emotional and physical skills required to navigate the future. Across the world, education systems’ responses to COVID-19 mean students are not re-entering
the same classrooms they left earlier this year. It’s a daunting prospect, but also an opportunity to reimagine learning and modernize our education systems for the 21st century. Global industries and operations have been shocked by the scale and pace of change in recent months, with education systems among those most affected. A record number of children and youth have been affected by schools closing because of COVID-19 and many may never return to education at all. We have witnessed educators and parents stepping up and embracing new learning environments and tools; and we’ve seen the power of both playful and engaging approaches to stimulate learning and skills development.

Pandemic education in curriculum By EMELITA D. PILVERA Secondary School Teacher I Ozamiz City National High School
IT CANNOT be overstated that education must be relevant. It must reflect and respond to social realities. Here’s one suggestion the Department of Education (DepEd) should seriously consider: integrate COVID-19 and pandemic education in the curriculum, which was recently reflected in the President’s order to strengthen “health literacy” among learners after announcing his own condition’s nearing stage 1 cancer. COVID-19/pandemic education is — to borrow DepEd’s words — an “essential competency” that needs to be deeply integrated in core subjects. Health courses and all other subjects for that matter should not be taught
as though they exist in vacuums, lest we risk alienating learners from their experience and survival. DepEd’s claim of already having health literacy “embedded in various subjects” should be reviewed and accordingly revised to include vital information on the present health crisis. This response indicated complacency on the adequacy of its current curriculum in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and empowering millions of learners to contribute to stemming its spread. The modicum of material on COVID-19 and pandemic education seems to be more an initiative of some teachers and local officials, rather than of DepEd.

MisOr gets P9.5M additional funding from Filinvest
T
HE local government of Misamis Oriental has received Php 9.5 million of funding from Filinvest’s FDC Misamis Power Corporation (FDC Misamis) as financial benefit to strengthen initiatives against COVID-19. The power firm remitted the funds in compliance with the Energy Regulations (ER) 1-94 Program of the Department of Energy (DOE). A policy stipulated in the DOE Act of 1992 and the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA), ER 1-94 allows a community hosting an energy generating facility to have access to a financial benefit of onecentavo per kilowatt-hour (P0.01/kWh) of the total electricity sales. This funds various development projects: electrification projects (50 percent), development and livelihood (25 percent), and
reforestation, watershed management, health and/or environmental enhancement (25 percent). As the country combats the spread of the coronavirus, the DOE has authorized the utilization of ER 1-94 funds to help host LGUs enhance their health services. MisOr province executives communicated their appreciation to the Gotianun-led power firm for its timely remittance during the ceremonial turnover held recently at the Provincial Capitol. “On behalf of the Province of Misamis Oriental, being the Chair of the Committee on Energy, Transportation, and Communication, salamat kaayo sa on time (nga remittance),” said MisOr Board Member Dexter Yasay. Governor Yevgeny Vincente “Bambi” B. Emano has ordered the Provincial Health Office to use the funds
to deter and protect residents from the spread of the virus. He recalled how Dr. Jerie P. Calingasan, the Provincial Health Officer and Chairman of the Provincial Inter-Agency Task Force, was worried that the Province might no longer have sufficient funds to purchase additional RDTs (rapid diagnostic tests). “Chief, with the presence of Filinvest right now, with Php 9 million, I can triple, quadruple assure you that all of those if you want, you can use it to prevent and defend our people versus COVID-19,” Emano said to Calingasan during his speech. “(I) would like to thank the Gotianun family, first, of course, Mrs. (Josephine) Yap and our President and CEO (Mr. Juan Eugenio L. Roxas) and to the entire Filinvest family. Thank you very much. You know this is what you call generosity. This is what you call an honest help to
the Province of Misamis Oriental,” the governor added. FDC Misamis has likewise downloaded funds to its other host communities. It has remitted an estimated Php 53 million of ER 1-94 funds, wherein around Php 14 million was submitted to the DOE and Php 26 million directly to host LGUs. Apart from the Province of MisOr, it has six other beneficiaries: the Municipalities of Villanueva and Tagoloan as the host LGUs; Barangays Tambobong and Balacanas, both in Villanueva, and Sta. Cruz in Tagoloan, as the affected barangays; and Northern Mindanao as the host region. “FDC Misamis understands how essential it is to strengthen the capabilities of our stakeholders. The immediate remittance of the financial benefit provides our host communities with added
security and available resources to ensure they have a fighting chance of enduring the effects of COVID-19,” said FDC Misamis President and CEO Juan Eugenio L. Roxas. “We are thankful to the Energy Department, especially to Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi, for giving the green light to reallocate the ER 1-94 funds to back communities as they strategically overcome the new uncertainties brought about by the pandemic.” FDC Misamis is a subsidiary of FDC Utilities, Inc. and a member of the Filinvest Development Corporation. It owns and operates the 3x135-MW circulating fluidized bed coal thermal plant situated in the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate. It is one of Mindanao’s biggest baseload power plants and is among the cheapest source of reliable power.

and solid transportation, access to education, employment and business opportunities as well as other services the two cities can and will offer,” it said. The Investment Coordination Committee-Cabinet Committee approved the implementation of the project on Nov. 6, 2019. The National Economic Development Authority Board confirmed it on Nov. 29, 2019. The construction of the bridge is expected to start in the first quarter of 2021. Sarmiento said the reef, considered one of the best diving spots in the island, houses a rich marine biodiversity, including healthy sea grasses, corals and other marine life. He said the family was frustrated that the government has apparently ignored their appeal despite efforts to present the detailed findings of the marine science study conducted by a team of independent marine biologists led by Dr. Filipina Sotto, commissioner of the Philippine Commission on Sports Scuba Diving. The study found that pursuing the final landing site would cause the rich marine biodiversity of coral reefs and marine life of Paradise Reef an “irreparable, irremediable, and incalculable damage.” “For the family, the Writ of Kalisakan will delay — the immediate reaction of the family — it will delay. They don’t want to delay, so they are begging DPWH and Arup even before they make the final design, the detailed engineering design to consider the ‘second best’ alignment in their own feaEXTRA-JUDICIAL PARTITION OF THE INTESTATE ESTATE OF THE LATE NESTORIA D.

sibility study,” Sarmiento said. He added the family also offered to donate El Paril Beach Property as the location for the landing site. Joey Gatus, a member of the Federation of Institution for Marine and Freshwater Sciences and Philippine Association of Marine Sciences, said the widespread sedimentation and emission of plumes as a result of the digging in the seabed would affect not only Paradise Reef but also the contiguous reefs. He estimated that the reef within half-kilometer radius from the location of the landing site would be destroyed, a destruction which cannot be avoided even if the engineers would put a sediment trap to contain the spread of plumes. “As we all know, Pakiputan Strait is really a ‘high velocity’ current. You would expect a wider distribution of those plumes, if not mitigated properly. And, you know, sedimentation or the sediments and corals don’t match together because corals will be smothered and covered by the sediments. So, that particular area in between, expect those coral reefs to be, conservatively half a kilometer, affected,” he added. The high current in the strait would carry light sediments across the Davao Gulf, he said. “But knowing the current system in Pakiputan is quite fast, it means it can carry these light sediments to much wider areas. If they really follow the silt curtain and everything that also would help. But in terms of directly hit, whether you put a curtain or not, there is half a kilometer that would be affected.

might be your last but but we’re not hoping for that. We’re hoping to fight it out,” he said. Experts conducted a marine science study to compare the marine ecosystem on Paradise Reef with El those in Paril Beach Property and Bridgeport. Bridgeport, identified by a feasibility study of JICA as the “best site” for the construction of the main bridge and the approach viaduct on Samal Island, was the least biologically productive area of the three areas covered by the study conducted by Sotto’s team. Sotto said the final landing site of the bridge would damage the best marine ecosystem of the island, causing irreversible adverse ecological impact to the Davao Gulf as a key marine biodiversity area. She called on Arup to redesign and realign the bridge and to select the area in front of Bridgeport as its final landing site. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

(PAMANA), which carries out community-driven projects in remote, conflict-ridden areas across the country. On Wednesday, the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) and the provincial and municipal governments of Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte signed Memorandums of Agreement to implement PAMANA projects worth PHP85 million. The signing was held at the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade. The PAMANA projects aim to support the Normalization Program under the CAB, and are part of the government’s commitment to help spur economic activity in Camp Bilal and its neighboring areas. “Matagal na po namin itong hinihintay. Ang gusto ng Presidente natin ay kapayapaan, ibalik ang kapayapaan dito sa Mindanao, at ‘yan din ang isinusulong namin, kapayapaan (We have been waiting for this for a long time. The President wants peace, bring back peace in Mindanao, and that’s what we’re doing, peace),” said Member of Parliament Abdullah “Commander Bravo” Macapaar. “Nagpapasalamat ako kay Allah dahil nandito na ngayon ang signing na mag-implement ng mga development projects dito sa Lanao del Sur at Lanao del Norte (I thanked Allah because of the signing to implement the developments here in Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte).” Camps Transformation is a major component of the Annex on Normalization under the CAB, the historic peace agreement forged between the Government of the Philippines and the MILF in 2014. PAMANA in the Bangsamoro The PAMANA Program is among the national government’s key interventions that are designed to implement community-driven development projects in remote, conflict-stricken areas throughout the country. “Simula noong 2011, patuloy ang PAMANA sa pagpapatupad ng mga proyekto sa mga isolated, hard to reach, conflict affected and conflict vulnerable communities sa Mindanao. Kabilang po rito ang ilang lugar na nasa ilalim ng pamamahala ng Moro Islamic Liberation Front (Since 2011, PAMANA continues to implement projects in the isolated, hard to reach, conflict affected and conflict vulnerable communities in Mindanao. This includes areas under MILF leadership),” said GPH Peace Implementing Panel Chair, OPAPP Undersecretary David Diciano during remarks at the MOA signing. Diciano said through the PAMANA projects,

agricultural production in the area is projected to rise, and consequently, boost socio-economic activity in Camp Bilal and other nearby communities. Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Interim Chief Minister and MILF Chairman Ahod Balawag Ebrahim, assured the Bangsamoro people that the BARMM government’s initiatives will focus on bringing sustainable peace and development in the region. “Although very challenging ang nangyari sa atin dito sa BARMM, rest assured na for the remaining days and times na naiwan sa atin, we will do our best para matulungan ang Bangsamoro sa BARMM pati na rin ang outside sa BARMM (Although what happened here in BARMM are very challenging, rest assured that for the remaining days and times, we will do our best to help Bangsamoro even those outside BARMM),” said Ebrahim, who attended the event via video teleconference. Presidential Peace Adviser and National Policy Against Covid-19 chief implementer Carlito Galvez Jr. said implementing projects for the Bangsamoro Region remains a priority of the national government despite the challenges caused by the pandemic. “Ang [sinabi] ng mahal nating Presidente, kahit may Covid tayo kailangan tuloy tuloy pa rin ang PAMANA natin. Mahal na mahal niya ang Bangsamoro at hindi hinding niya kayo pababayaan (Our beloved President said, even we have Covid-19, we need to continue the PAMANA. He loves Bangsamoro and he will not forsake you),” Galvez said. Galvez said OPAPP will stay and will continue to assist the BARMM. Under the MOA, the PAMANA National Project Management Department, in partnership with provin-
cial governments of Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur, and the municipal governments of Munai, Picong, and Tangcal, will implement projects to raise agricultural productivity in the area such as the provision of farm equipment to MILF beneficiaries, concreting of farm-to-market roads, and the construction of a barangay road. The PAMANA NPMD is also set to forge partnerships for the implementation of five projects in Lanao del Sur, which include the distribution of farm equipment and construction of a water system. From former war-zone to future ‘eco-zone’ Macapaar said the turning point for him and his men came after the signing of the CAB. It was then when they realized that armed struggle was no longer the path they wanted to pursue. “Bakit po ako sumama [sa gobyerno]? Alam po natin na ako po ay doon lumaki sa bundok kaya lang hindi po ako masamang tao. Dahil po sa utos ng Chief Minister, the Chairman of the MILF, lalong lalo na sa aking kaibigan former Chief of Staff ng Armed Forces si Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr (Why I joined government? A grew up in the mountain but I am not bad person. Upon the order of Chief Minister, the chairman of the MILF, especially my friend, former Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, Secretary Carilito Galvez Jr.),’ Macapaar said. “Ako ay sumama dahil ang gusto ng Presidente natin ay kapayapaan. Ibalik ang kapayapaan dito sa Mindanao dahil ‘yan din ang isinusulong namin - kapayapaan, bilang kami ay mga Muslims na sumusunod sa aming Panginoon na Allah (I joined the government because the President wants peace. Let’s bring back peace here in Mindanao because it is also our goal – peace, as Muslims following our Lord Allah),” Macapaar added.
Local government units have also played a crucial role in sustaining the gains of peace in by facilitating the implementation of muchneeded socio-economic and infrastructure projects in the area. “Alam po natin na ang Munai ay isa po sa conflictaffected ng Mindanao. Sa pamamagitan ng proyektong ito, naibibigay ninyo sa amin. Ito po ‘yung magiging daan para maibsan ang paghihirap ng mga tao at matulungan po natin sila para umunlad ang buhay ng ating mga mamamayan sa Munai (We all know that Munai is a conflict-affected in Mindanao. Through this project, it will be given to us. It will help to lessen the hardship of the people and help them improve the lives of the people in Munai),” said Munai Mayor Racma Andamama. Tangcal Councilor Abdani Buanding, who represented Mayor Fatima Tomawis, said that their municipality will significantly benefit from the PAMANA projects once they are completed. “Alam po natin ang aming bayan ay years ago dumaan po ng armed conflict so masyadong kumbaga, kasama kami sa medyo maliit na bayan so kailangan po namin ang ganitong mga projects sa amin (Our town experienced armed conflict, it’s a small town. So we need this kind of projects),” Buanding said. Meanwhile, Lanao del Norte Board Member Achmad Taha, who represented Governor Imelda Angging Q u ibr an z a D i map oro, thanked the government for the projects, noting these are a testament of the President’s desire to help the Bangsamoro people. “President Duterte continues to give importance to peace-promoting projects and staying true to his promise to the Filipino people,” Taha said. “Through the PAMANA program, the LGUs are empowered by leading the implementation of the projects in their locali-

their barracks at the BMJP compound in Lumbia. “The BJMP wants to know what really transpired before it could take action,” Delgado said.
The BJMP’s statement came as Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno instructed the City Legal Department to file the appropriate criminal and administrative charges against the BJMP personnel. Moreno said that he will not let the incident pass until the police officers are punished accordingly. The city government sent medical technologists to conduct “swab testing” among inmates and personnel at the city jail in Lumbia as part of the city’s effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus in the city jail when the incident reportedly took place. The medical workers formally filed a complaint with the Lumbia police about the alleged harassment of BJMP personnel who reportedly demanded that the result of the “swab tests” taken on them be given priority. The medical workers, who admitted that it would take time before the result is processed, alleged that the BMJP personnel were angered and leveled a loaded gun on them.
