Dream Residences breaks ground in Manolo Fortich DOH- Davao: suspected case of meningococcemia still under probe

By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

A mid-rise residential development has broken ground in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon some 30 kilometers southeast of Cagayan de Oro City. Dream Residences is the second project of Yega Development Corporation - it is also the developer of Smart Condominium in uptown Cagayan de Oro. The venture is a result of Yega Development Corporation president and CEO Zackie Harris’ dream - to establish a living space in Northern Mindanao where the climate is just right. Barangay San Miguel in Manolo Fortich definitely suits Harris’ dream - temperature here drops to as low as 18°C at night. And just a stone’s throw away is the famed Del Monte golf course. There are four choices of units available here in Dream Residences - each with a choice of view of the golf course or the dream See DREAM, page 11

DAVAO CITY -- The Department of Health in the Davao region is still waiting for results of the examination on the blood samples taken from a four-year old boy who died Friday in a private hospital here while showing signs and symptoms similar to meningococcemia See CASE, page 11

This is a combination of efforts from DPWH as well as DepEd, without them identifying what a school needs, this will not be materialized, said Cong. Siao. What a congressman does is to facilitate in providing these needs - the road from our local infrastructure program budget and the school building from DepEd’s budget itself, he added. Further, the Congressman said that we need everyone’s effort to bring Iligan to the next level. We need to capitalize in a way of giving

Marawi bouncing back from rubbles Project Rise reported a 52.48 percent accomplishment as of July 31, 2019 based on the timeline of Marawi’s rehabilitation. As scheduled the dates of reentry: Sector 1 - end of July; Sectors 2/3-end of August; Sectors 4/5-end of September; Sectors 6/7- end of October and Sectors 8 and 9 - end of November. Eric Ybañez, the Marawi rehab project engineer from the NHA, said they are working as scheduled and are “doing as planned and with caution because we cannot compromise the

MARAWI CITY -- Mayor Majul Gandamra said economic activity in the city is coming back as more sectors have been cleared by the military. “This is a testament that we are slowly recovering from the scars of a fierce battle,” Gandamra said. Addressing his people during the 79th charter anniversary of Marawi, an emotional Gandamra said: “I would like to thank each and every Marawi citizen and everyone who believes in Marawi, every man, woman and child in Marawi, for caring, for striving, for doing what is good for the city.” “For being strong and resilient, for their courage and determination that someday, life will get better. For coming back, for showing what Marawi means to you and your families,” Gandamra said. An emotional Gandamra said Marawi should not be called as a ghost city. “People should look around. The Most Affected Area (MAA) is just 25 hectares of the whole city. Look around. We are here, people are alive, people have returned to their normal routine. We are not ghosts,” the mayor said. Gandamra said the ongoing rehabilitation projects inside and outside the most affected area (MAA) or the “ground zero” are proof that the city “will rise again.” “Twenty-four months to move in from the rubble is not enough. Losing loved ones, devastated and shattered dreams cannot be undone in two years. What is paramount is the love to live a new life with a hope of a strengthened community that is based on everyone’s support and cooperation,” Gandamra said. The mayor said the ongoing recovery of “unexploded ordnance” (UXO) and the demolition of properties have contributed to the delay in the rehabilitation timeframe. Gandamra said safety and security is the utmost consideration in the clearing operations. But even while rehabilitation is ongoing, some projects are now bearing fruits, the mayor said. “What was once a dream before is now reality,” he said, citing the flood control project right before the Mapandi bridge at the center of Marawi and the diversion road from from Saquiran town to the poblacion of Marawi City,” the mayor said. The diversion road earned the monicker of “dream road” because no one would believe that the promised road by the late Lanao sel Sur Govenor Mamintal Alonto Adiong Sr. would still be realized. Saguiran municipality,

which used to be a “sleepy” town, is now generating economic activity since the temporary shelters of the displaced families are located in border village of Sagonsongan village. Safety A report by Project Rise on August 8, 2019 showed that a total of 330 explosive remnants of war (ERW) were recovered and were already neutralized and disposed of. Project Rise is a government body tasked in the rehabilitation of Marawi City. A total 70 UXOs were also found mostly by the members of debris management in coordination with Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), six of which were detonated while 42 others are for detection and recovery. Sectors 1, 2 and 3 are 99 percent cleared of UXOs while Sector 5 is already 80 percent cleared. Consent The mayor said the refusal of some property owners to allow the demolition of their properties also contributed to the delays in the rehabilitation. “Getting their consent took so long, because most of them are not residing here while others have yet to decide what to do with the space,” he pointed out. Gandamra said residents were allowed to visit their properties to assess whether their houses or buildings can still be repaired or should be demolished. As of August 7, Project Rise reported that a total of 2,804 property owners have already consented for their establishments be demolished. The government has already torn down a total of 1,875 structures and 1,720 of which already cleared with debris. Project Rise recorded a total of 5,403 actual structures in the nine affected sectors in the city.

security of the people.” A stronger Marawi Gandamra said all these developments will never happen without the help of government. “We are hurt if people in Manila said Marawi is a ghost city. We are slowly building our lives back. We were never abandoned by government. President Duterte made true his promise to rebuild Marawi,” Gandamra said.

Luckiest Lot Feng Shui

ARE you dreaming of buying and having a lucky lot? Lots of them are in the Feng Shui menu board like; * Lot embraced by a road, river or creek. * Money bag dustpan shaped lot. * Special animal shaped lot. * Lot fronting a lake, ocean or river.

* Lot with upward slope terrain. * Wok shaped and terrain lot. * T shaped lot. Roads, river or creek including bay, ocean or lake represents water equal to money in Feng Shui. Thus it beckons great cashflow and wealth accumulation potential. Yet it has to be Feng Shuied accordingly

to fit the buyer’s profile! Given this notion, the luckiest lit is one surrounded by water or a rotonda! It simply attracts money coming in 24/7. But then again it has to be customized when it comes to Feng Shui. Therefore the luckiest lot is a Feng Shuied lot. Now that makes a luck of

sense! Lots of Luck and Good Fortunes to all lot owners and buyers! You now know whom to call to improve your lots in life!

The CYNOSURE

It’s time to shout: Merry Christmas! MERRY Christmas! As the streak of light of the first dawn of the month of September comes to view, the Philippines enter the Christmas season. Ever heard of the observation saying that the Philippines is known throughout the world as the only country with the longest Christmas celebration. In fact, the Philippines start to celebrate Christmas at the stroke of September until it culminates first week in January. There is no need to talk about the pagan origin of the Christmas celebration. What matters most is the tradition that makes Christmas as an unforgettable season of the year. The spirit of Christmas conveys an animated recollection of a weary life, pretending to be joyful and

exciting. What with the Christmas persuasive pull of letting all the troubles away, one could simply hide the frustration of life amid an exciting atmosphere of pleasure. While a lot of things would be taking place from September to December, the excitement of the Christmas season seems to drown all other special days that might come along the way. For instance, the imposition of Martial Law in the Philippines by the former Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos took place in September 21. For over 40 years since the imposition of Martial Law, the progressive groups, human rights activists and political activists welcome the day of Sept. 21 with protest and march rally. Perhaps, it would be

different this year as thousands of alleged victim of brutality, under the Martial Law regime of Marcos were paid by the thousands. The New York district court has ordered and approved the transfer of US$ 13.75 million from the retrieved properties of the Marcoses to the Philippines for the payment of alleged victims of the Marcos military regime. Many have availed of the compensation, categorized into several levels of human abuses that range from simple maltreatment, physical abuse, decapitation, and death. Some individuals received more than P 1 million remunerations. Well, it is still expected that anti-Marcos rallies and protest will mark this year’s Martial Law anniversary on September 21. This time,

Cris Diaz

the opinions of the protesters might differ from each other. Most of the big-mouthed rabble-rousers are those who have yet to receive their share while the others might complain of being short-changed in their compensation. This early, however, the suspicion is widespread that the protest-rally in Sept. 21 would be directed to the Duterte administration. This time, the progressive groups, human rights advocates and political activists would likely poke on extra judicial killing (ejk), allegedly perpetrated by the Duterte administration. But, all the hype in September would be overwheled with the onset of the month See TIME, page 11

Speaking Out

Our other comrades-in-arms

SEVENTY-four years ago today (September 2) Japan formally signed the Instrument of Surrender. The following day, General Yamashita emerged from his hideout in Kiangan, ifugao signaling the end of formal hostilities in the Philippines. We often celebrate the bravery and heroism of the Filipino and American soldiers who fought and died side by side in Bataan and Corregidor, in Leyte, Manila, Bessang Pass and other fields of battle. Regrettably, we have little or no recollection of our other allies who also paid with their lives trying to liberate the Philippines. Comrades from Down Under Approximately 4,000 Australians saw action in the Philippines commencing October 1944. The Royal Australian Navy played key roles first in Leyte Gulf and later at Lingayen Gulf, providing crucial support during the amphibious landings. Australian army bombardment liaison teams helped to ensure the ac-

curacy of naval fire in support of the landings while the Royal Australian Air Force provided aerial photo reconnaissance and helped in aerial mine-laying. 92 Australians died during the Philippine campaign. Among them were the 9-men crew of a Royal Australian Air Force Catalina that crashed over Manila Bay. The Aztec Eagles The next biggest group of non-American allies who fought in the Philippines were the Mexicans. They belonged to the Fuerza Aerea Mexicana (FAM) - the Mexican Air Force. During the early stages of the war, the Mexicans remained within their border but in 1943 President Roosevelt managed to convince Mexican President Avila Camacho to join the allied offensive. Camacho had the option of sending the Mexican expeditionary force to Italy to fight alongside a Brazilian contingent. But Camacho chose to send his troops to the Philippines. There, Camacho said,

the unit could aid “the liberation of a people for whom Mexico felt a continuity of idiom, history and traditions.” The Mexican expeditionary force, spearheaded by the the 201st Squadron, consisted of 300 officers and enlisted men, including 38 pilots. The force was commanded by Colonel Antonio Cardenas Rodriguez. Before leaving for the Philippines, the 201st Squadron trained in Victoria, Texas and later in Pocatello, Idaho where they transitioned to Curtis P-40 Warhawks and P-47D Thunderbolts, respectively. On arriving in the Philippines on May 1, 1945, the Mexican expeditionary force was assigned to an air field in Porac, Pampanga where they were attached to the US Air Force 58th Fighter Group. From Porac, the Mexicans (who have nicknamed themselves Aztec Eagles), flew combat sorties to aid ground troops fighting in the Marikina watershed and later, in Bessang Pass. In and around Bes-

Ignacio Bunye

sang Pass, close air support proved crucial. It was especially difficult for the Aztec Eagles as they had to bomb and strafe hard-to-see Japanese positions which were very close to friendly forces. Five of the pilots later became FAM generals. After the war, others worked in aviation, business and the academe until their retirement. The Czech Volunteers Again, not very many know about the 14 Gallant Czechs. The Czechs were the only other nationals who volunteered as a group and fought alongside US and Filipino troops in Bataan. Karel Aster was one of the Gallant 14. Aster was then an employee of a Czech shoemaking facility in Manila called Bata Co. Without any hesitation, See ARMS, page 11

Soldiers go for prevention over cure on HIV and Dengue virus TALACOGON, Agusan del Sur -- Troops of the 26th Infantry (Ever Onward) Battalion initiated preventive measures through lectures on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Dengue at the Battalion Headquarters, Brgy Zamora, Talacogon, Agusan del Sur on August 29,2019. Personnel from Talacogon District Hospital led by Dr. Rolly T. Dacera administered simultaneous check-up, while lectures on causes, symptoms, and ways to prevent spread of HIV and Dengue were provided by Mr. Janis Eryl Jandayan and Mr. Erwin Perez. The activity was conducted in response to the current epidemic of Dengue and HIV particularly in Caraga region. “The cases of HIV and Dengue is alarming and

one way to address this problem is by educating the people about it.” said Dr. Dacera. Lt. Col. Romeo C Jimenea, 26IB Commanding Officer, is in full support for the cause and encouraged everyone to do their part in spreading awareness. “It is often said that prevention is better than cure. And the best approach to prevention is proper education

and effective information dissemination.” as stated by Lt. Col. Jimenea. “ These lectures on HIV and Dengue aim to provide knowledge for every Ever Onward trooper and pass on useful pieces of information to fellow soldiers, their families and to the whole community as well, thus contributing to the prevention of these epidemia”, he added.

BAYUGAN CITY, Agusan del Sur – The loss of the will to fight in the futile struggle of the Communist NPA Terrorists (CNT) is the reason to the surrender of two (2) regular NPA members of the Guerilla Front Committee 30 (GFC 30), CPP-NPA Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC) last Tuesday, August 22 in Barangay Bolhoon, San Miguel, Surigao del Sur. The two voluntarily surrendered

to the troops of the 7th Special Forces (Spartans) Company under the 3rd Special Forces (Arrowhead) Battalion (3SFBn) of the Philippine Army. Ka Queen, 28 years old is a regular NPA while Ka Arnel, 42 years old, is the designated Supply Officer of GF 30, NEMRC. They are both residents of Sitio Kadlong, Barangay, Kabangahan, San Miguel, SDS. They brought with them one (1) Armscor Shotgun and

1 caliber 38 pistol with defaced serial numbers along with 2 shotgun ammunitions. With the President’s issuance of Executive Order (EO 70) enjoining all Filipinos to take part in the Whole-of-Nation approach to end insurgency, Local Government Units (LGU), concerned government agencies and even local residents became more active in propagating the President’s message to topple

THE repair of the Surigao City Airport runway remains on track according to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr). During the second site inspection on the rehabilitation progress led by Communications Secretary Martin Andanar and CAAP Surigao Manager Junelito Abrazado on Friday, the contractors have affirmed the November 2019 completion target for the initial 400-meter repair, and the full 700-meters by February 2020. “So ngayon, right on track ang pangako sa ating lahat na Surigaonon ni CAAP General Manager, ang ating pong CAAP Di-

The runway’s partial operation of 1,400 meters, from 1,000 meters currently, will accommodate seven weekly Philippine Airlines flights between Manila and Surigao. Andanar, who assembled an ad-hoc communications team to coordinate with the DOTr and CAAP about the progress of the rehabilitation on a weekly basis, said that one hurdle for the project was already cleared out. Andanar relayed the message of the DOTr that the variation order (VO) for the initial 400-meter runway reblocking was already signed by the new contractor Pacific Concrete

a petition at the Olongapo City Regional Trial Court in Olongapo City on January 8 “to initiate voluntary rehabilitation under Republic Act 10142, otherwise known as An Act Providing for the Rehabilitation or Liquidation of Financially Distressed Enterprises and Individuals”. With this, the shipbuilder has sought help from the government to find investors that can take over the operation of its shipyard in Subic, as well as to help its employees, who have taken the brunt of the company’s financial woes. In December 2018, the company laid off more than 7,000 workers. (PNA)

Navy now using one of Hanjin’s piers By PRIAM NEPOMUCENO

MANILA -- The Philippine Navy (PN) on Wednesday said it is currently using one of the piers of the debt-ridden shipbuilder, Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction (HHICPhil), located in Subic Bay, Zambales. Navy flag-officer-in-command Vice Admiral Robert Empedrad, in a press briefing Wednesday, however, said he is not privy as to the ongoing deals concerning possible takers of the cash-strapped shipbuilder. “I think that there are countries (proposing to take over). The Secretary of Finance (Carlos Dominguez) is in charge of this one. If that pushes through, the Navy will be a part of the (joint) venture. In fact, we are using as one of (Hanjin’s) piers, with permission from RCBC (one of the creditor banks),” he added in mix of English and Filipino. Large ships of the PN are now using the pier for docking purposes. Earlier, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana

Currently, Community Support Teams are already immersed in the identified priority areas for peace and development of the said provinces. Lieutenant Colonel Joey B Baybayan INF (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of the 3SFBn, said, “Knowing that the fight to end insurgency is the responsibility of all Filipinos, it feels great to see all units of the government and the local residents work hand-in-hand with us (military) to achieve a common goal towards lasting peace in our area of operations.”

“We know that our tactical footprints and presence degraded the CNTs’ mass base and its support structures that is why some of their elements are returning into the folds of the law. So, we encourage all other CNT members that our door is always open if they want to surrender. It is better to live peacefully with your families than being fooled in the useless cause.” LTC Baybayan added. The surenderees will be enrolled in the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), a complete assistance package under the government’s program for former rebels and will undergo series of consultations and counseling as part of their transition process in the mainstream society.

Tagum City wins nat’l nutrition award anew By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY-- The city of Tagum in Davao del Norte has been recognized again for its nutrition programs by winning the Consistent Regional Outstanding Winners in Nutrition (CROWN) Maintenance during the 2019 National Nutrition Awarding Ceremony on Friday. Held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City, the city bagged the same award last year in the same venue. Tagum City is the only local government unit in Davao Region to win the annual award. Mayor Allan Rellon received the plaque of recognition and PHP200,000 cash prize. Rellon said the recognition was the result of the local government’s investment in human capital, especially the children, whom he said will be “the future of our world.” He added the award was “a symbol of responsibility and inspiration as well to outdo the performance” from the previous years. “It is therefore right to say that this award is not only for the city government but also to all individuals who made this a resounding success,” he added. Tagum has been awarded three times for being consistent in implementing efficient and effective nutrition programs that drastically See AWARD, page 10

around P10 million, some conventional asphalting works of the original contract were reduced through value engineering,” Lopez said in his message to Andanar. Moreover, Pacific Concrete said that the establishment of the concrete and batching plant for the rehabilitation project is expected by the second week of September, which will speed up the runway reblocking and asphalting for the initial 400 meters expected to be completed by November and the full 700 meters by February next year. Meanwhile, the second contractor VT Lao is already 10.26% completed with the asphalt overlay for the slope correction of other parts of the runway. The contractors began work on the runway’s re-

habilitation last August 7. In June this year, the Provincial Capitol of Surigao Del Norte and the Surigao City Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc. adopted separate resolutions asking their fellow Surigaonon to elevate the issue to Department of Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade. “As a Surigaonon, I go here because it is the interest of our province to have a workable airport na makalanding ang eroplano hindi lang to Cebu, but also sa Manila. So we’re doing out best from our end, in my office, we constantly communicate with the [CAAP] General Manager and the DOTr,” Andanar said. “We just need to constantly check the repairs. Coordinate closely with my office and ad hoc team I created for the Surigao City Airport news update, and let us continue to communicate,” he added.

High school stays forever By LORNA N. SALDON Teacher III Bansarvil National High School Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

THE English Romantic poet Robert Southey believes that the first 20 years are the longest half of your life no matter how long you may live. Memory researchers have in fact identified something called the reminiscence bump which confirms that the strongest memories for the events in our lives come from things that happened us between the ages of ten and 30. For many people, the most vividly remembered and emotionally charged of those years are spent in high school. Unrequited romantic crushes, chronic embarrassment, desperate

struggles for popularity, sexual awakening, parental pressure and above all else, competition – social, athletic, academic and otherwise. The angst of these years follows us through life and the conflicted feelings so many of us harbor about high school fuel the popularity of TV shows and movies like Beverly Hills 90210, Mean Girls, among others. What is it about this time of life that makes it stand out from the rest of our years? Part of it is undoubtedly due to changes in the brain’s sensitivity to certain types of information during adolescence. So knowing all this, are you looking forward to your next high school reunion?

The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is among the country’s vibrant tourist destinations through its rich culture, heritage, colorful tradition, and rich marine resources, among others. “These are showcased in

Not just a homework… By MARICHELLE F. SAGA, Ph.D. Principal III-Bugo Central School

AS a child raised in the 80’s, I would remember my childhood to be a mixture of learning life skills, enjoying physical games and getting hard earned labor reward of our favorite snacks at a nearby Sari-Sari store. During weekdays, we would be very excited to attend school and learn new things. And at the end of each subject, we would look forward to our homework that our teachers prepared. After school hours, we would spare an hour or two to play our favorite patintero or bato lata. Before the sun finally sets, we hold hands and happily walk back home. Mama will then welcome us with merienda of Banana que, kamote or any native snacks available.

We would then take turns to do our wash up routines. Then we are prepared to do our homework. Kuya, the eldest of three siblings, will read aloud his homework, followed by Ralph, my other sibling. Mine was a little bit slow and engaging. Mama assisted us with Language and Reading subjects while Papa helped us with Math. Homework time for us was our communication time. We get the chance to be with our parents and it was also their time to assess where we were difficult at. Those subjects where we were good at are enhanced through enrichment activities. Homework was also the connection between our teachers and our parents. Teachers are able to ensure that we do our homework

and on the other hand our parents would know if teachers were following through and checking our assignments. Moreover, our parents made sure that during homework time, we refrain from watching tv. Homeworks gave us a sense of responsibility and a sense of time management. It also developed in us the reading habits which we find very helpful as we journey through life. It’s not just a homework, it’s not just a homework, it’s not just a homework. There is more to it than just being a homework. I hope our legislators will just give time to see the core and create policies which will have a greater impact to the educational system of this country. There are far greater problem than homeworks.

Competitive parenting By LORNA N. SALDON Teacher III Bansarvil National High School Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

AT its worst, competitive parenting puts tremendous pressure on children because the underlying message to kids is: “You need to achieve in order to prove that I’m a good parent.” What a terrible burden to put on the shoulders of a poor child! Admittedly, it indeed takes conscious effort to resist the pull of competitive parenting. We need to recognize that our children are not lumps of clay to be molded. They are each unique constellations of strengths and weaknesses, interests and aversions. They are shaped not just

Bong Go allotted food packs and cash assistance of Php 2,000.00 to each of the 22 families affected by the fire incident that razed morning of August 11, 2019. DOH also gave hygiene kits and water jugs to the fire victims as additional assistance. Initao Municipal Mayor Enerito V. Acain expressed his gratitude for the national government’s support. Acain said, “Our municipality is small. Other than that, we are farfetched from the attention of the national government.” “So, for a national figure to come over here and give an immediate response to our people, it says a lot of positive things about the kind of administration that we have now,” he remarked. Meanwhile, Bong Go

by us – their parents – but also by their own choices, experiences and other relationships. Here are some practical ways to avoid being pulled into competitive parenting: 1) Go to your high school reunion. Seeing the range of grown-up outcomes must convince you that there’s no such thing as a straight and narrow life path that’s right for everyone. 2) Resist upping the ante. 3) Allow your child to experience healthy struggles. 4) Focus on building skills. 5) Trust your child. Remember, if we step in too quickly to solve problems that they can solve themselves, we steal their opportunity to learn important life skills. came with two actors, Mr. Philip Salvador and Mr. Robin Padilla to entertain and a sort of relief to posttraumatic stress out of the fire-affected families.

It also seeks to enhance the journalistic competence of Ozamiz learners through healthy and friendly competition and choose the best campus journalist who will bring the city’s banner in the Regional Schools Press Conference 2019 which will be held in Gingoog City. In his inspirational message, Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Edilberto Oplenaria said, “We are here to enjoy and to win. However, your coming here is enough proof that you are winners in your perspective rights.” “To our young writers, DepEd is here not only to support you but to give you the venue where you can exhibit your knack in writing,” he added. Me a nw h i l e , M a y o r Sancho Fernando “Ando” Oaminal said, “Today, we are holding the Division Schools Press Conference and most importantly campus journalism. Breath into life by one of our fundamental freedom, the freedom of the press. The free press has an essential role to fulfill if we are to safeguard our democracy. It obtains protection from the state so that it may bare the secrets of the government and inform the people.” The mayor also shared that it is vital that the state promulgated a policy enacting the campus journalism act to uphold and protect the freedom of the press at the campus level and promote the development of campus journalism as a means of strengthening ethical values, encouraging critical and creative thinking and developing moral character and personal discipline of the Filipino Youth. Therefore, since the training ground for our present and future journalist are broaden, our youth today being well aware that they have a voice are equipped and empowered to exact transparency and accountability in our society,” he said. “The city government is very supportive to the activities of the Department of Education, to those who will be awarded in the regional level you will also get

a higher reward, most of all if you will become champion again in the National level,” he assured. The individual contests include news writing, feature writing, sports writing, column writing, science, and technology writing, editorial writing, copy reading and headline-making and photojournalism. Lasalle University Integrated School, Ozamiz City National High School, and Ozamiz City Central S chool representatives competed for Broadcasting Contests, TV Script Writing and Radio Script Writing in the Regional Schools Press Conference.

Eduardo del Rosario said “the government is not sleeping, we are doing as planned with the support of the people.” Hasmina Dipatuan, an official of Mindanao State University said: “You can see many housing units here inside the teachers Village here in Marawi, dumarami ang pumupunta dito, makita nya..tingnan nyo ang paligid, iba na ang Marawi ngayon, natutuwa kami dahil may military na, sana huwag na silang kukunin dito sa Marawi.” “ T ho s e s ay i ng t hat Marawi is a ghost city are people not from Marawi, it hurts us, we are here we are not ghosts, we do not understand why they speak in our behalf to tell lies, they should stay and live here, so they will know, we are here,” she added. For Concepcion Semante, 62, who once enjoyed the booming business inside the Marawi Commercial Complex, the Marawi siege is a lesson learned. “We lost our business, but we will rise again,” Semante said. Rebuilding Marawi Gandamra said the government did not turn its back on the Marawi people. In fact, the mayor noted that National Housing Authority (NHA) Manager Marcelino Escalada “is always here, he makes sure that everything is properly coordinated and is done according to the plan which they presented during the public hearing on April.” “Hindi kami pinabayaan ni President (Rodrigo) Duterte, lahat ng gusto niya pinapaabot sa amin ni Mr. Escalada, at lahat nga stakeholders kinoconsulta (President Duterte did not neglect us. All his plans for the city were coursed through Mr. Escalada and all of the stakeholders were consulted,” he added. The mayor said delays can always be expected in the rehabilitation because certain protocols and processes have to be observed to keep everybody secure and safe. Recently, NHA and Marawi City led the

groundbreaking for the construction of the 2,000 permanent shelters that are set for completion in March 2020. The 2,000 housing units will be built in the 39-hectare land that will cater to 2,000 families, the land was purchased by the NHA which will also undertake the land development while the construction will be financed by the San Miguel Corporation (SMC) Foundation. “ The instruction of the President is clear: the NHA works on the temporary shelter and permanent houses, for us also to supervise the debris management. We have the marching order and we are working as scheduled,” said Escalada, who is also secretary-general of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council. Escalada said the funds were only released in 2018 to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) to finance the rehabilitation and restoration of Marawi after the series of assessments in the area. NHA is tasked to build temporary and permanent shelters in Marawi, aside from clearing the area of explosives and debris. Escalada said the process of rehabilitation “must be structurally sound and culturally sensitive.” “We have the blueprint, the new one, this is drawn of the consultations and discussion with Marawi residents and stakeholders, it is craft from the culture of Meranaws and we agree on it,” he added. United Gand amra s aid t he Teachers Village inside the MSU is a testament that Meranaws are one in rebuilding their city. “So how are we a ghost city?” the mayor added. The mayor said the big help of the soldiers’ presence and the imposition of martial law in Mindanao by the national government. Marawi was besieged by a five-month armed conflict between government forces and elements of the rebel Maute group and gunmen affiliated with the Islamic State (IS). The clashes resulted in the death of over a thousand people, mostly extremists who were killed in the gun battles and forced thousands out of the city. (PNA)

The dream swimming pools are Harris’ personal touch - as early as childhood, he has dreamt of living in an abode surrounded by sparkling waters. There are studio suites, mixed use units, country homes and pool villas with floor area as large as 100 sq. m. Future residents will also have the option to purchase units with varied fixtures from standard to smart to supreme package. The supreme package already comes with a modular kitchen, dual electric cooktop stove, kitchen fixtures, range hood, closets & cabinets, coffee table set, water dispenser, queen size bed with massage bed, sofa, air conditioner, microwave, refrigerator, television, shower enclosure or bathtub and shower heater. Harris said residents will have the option to purchase solar panels for their electricity needs, making Dream Residences the most environment friendly living space outside Cagayan de Oro. To maximize this reality, parking slots will be placed outside the living campus itself. Residents will have the option to jog or use battery-operated carts to get to their vehicles. And then Dream Residences will have its own sewage treatment plant. As Harris puts it, “It is a paradigm shift, a change of habits.” First turnover of units is expected in 2022.

In a statement on Saturday, the DOH-Davao said the Brokenshire Hospital Integrated Health Ministries, Inc. “has collected and sent out specimen for confirmation and is now waiting for results.” It added the hospital has already taken precautionary measure by administering post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to people who had close contacts with the patient, including his family members, pupils at the preschool where the patient studied, and emergency room staff who attended to the patients. “We are closely monitoring them for any signs and symptoms, which include fever, vomiting, body rashes, and loose bowel movement,” it added. The agency will also dispatch a team to monitor the school of the patient to assist the teachers in the proper information dissemination to the parents and to ensure that everyone who came in close contact with the patient is administered the PEP. It also clarified that the mode of transmission of me-

ningococcemia is “through droplet and not airborne,” specifically direct contact with discharges from the nose and throat of the infected person. It added meningococcemia can also spread “through coughing, sneezing, kissing, sharing of food, drinks, and utensils.” The agency also appealed to the public to avoid sharing misinformation on social media to prevent causing alarm while waiting for the result of the examination. The City Health Office said in a separate statement that the hospital has strictly “observed and conducted measures based on standard medical protocols to control possible infection and spread.” (Antonio L.

Davao City LGU sets aside P50-million for flood victims DAVAO CITY -- The 19th Sangguniang Panglungsod ng Dabaw unanimously passed and approved a resolution ordinance putting four barangays under a state of calamity due to the flood last night with an amount of P50-Million for food and non-food assistance. These are the barangays of Talomo Proper, Tugbok, Los Amigo and Wangan. Earlier the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council recommended the declaration to assist more or less 3,599 families who were affected by the flood.

of October. As the yearend nears, every Peter, John, and Doe would be busy securing themselves as the tempest of the country’s typhoon season gets prevalent. From October, all eyes are focused on the incoming month of November. The first and second day of November is celebrated around the world as the day of the dead and the day of the saints. The conflict between the two celebrations could be felt only as various cultures and traditions around the world compete with each other on what it takes to treat the departed. Of course, the All Souls Day and All Saints Day is celebrated throughout the Christendom. On the last day of November, the Filipino people celebrate the birth date of Andres Bonifacio. Bonifacio, the Father of the Philippine Revolution was the first President of the Tagalog Republic. Being a lowly revolutionary leader and accused of being unschooled, Bonifacio was robbed of his rightful title as the “national hero.” There is a raging debate whether Jose Rizal deserved to be the country’s national hero ‘though. Anyway, the month of December comes. There is not much to write about the month of December except of the friendly advice to one and all: “Be careful with the roost pigs.” (Heckles). Merry Christmas!

Marilyn Agonia, assistant head of the City Social Services and Development Office said food and nonfood assistance will be given immediately to the victims on the four barangays. She said the food assistance will comprise of rice, viand, noodle, canned goods and coffee while the nonfood assistance will include bedding, kitchen utensils and money for the reconstruction of their dwelling. Rodrigo Bustillo, operations head of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office lamented that many of the residents in the affected areas did not listen to their call for preemptive evacuation earlier when the dark clouds was hovering the Talomo Watershed area. He said that as early as 3:04 in the afternoon, the

residents in all barangays along Talomo River were warned of the effects of the impending flood and were ordered through rekoreda, radio communication and sirens to vacate early. Bustillo said rescue volunteers even deployed earlier but many residents were trapped because they only moved when the water was already rising. “We have to change our culture and attitude when it comes to disaster. Sadly, many people in Talomo proper uttered that they were used to the flood in their area and evacuation was not necessary. But flood last night was of a gargantuan proportion,” he said. Bustillo has recommended the purchase of more floating equipment like rubber boats to pen-

MY JOURNEY AS A TEACHER By DANILO U. OTED SHS Coordinator (SST-III) San Nicolas National High School San Nicolas, Don Carlos, Bukidnon

I have 2 years teaching experience in the private school before I applied in the Department of Education. I have been in this department for 10 years now. When I entered this profession, I already knew that I would encounter a lot of struggles, and I was correct: teaching in a public school is not that easy. I just want to share what a teacher like me goes through every day. Let’s begin with the classroom. Ideally, there should be a maximum 40 students in a classroom but in reality, there are more than 50 students. We have a gross salary of more than P20,000, but this is not enough for our daily needs because our net take home pay is already below 20,000 due to some deductions. We even allot part of our salary to contribute to some school activities. Since we don’t have transportation

allowance, we have to shoulder the expenses for the required visits to homes of students who usually live in far-flung communities. In case we succeed with our home visitation, these students will go back to school. Another problem is they already missed their classes and will surely lose interest since they can no longer relate to the discussions because of the lessons that they have missed. It will be difficult for them to pass the exam. But because of the mass promotion and no retention policy of the DepED, teachers are directed to conduct remedial classes. There are a lot of problems in our respective stations but we just keep on going because we love our job and our students. We are teachers who teach from the heart. Teaching is the noblest of all professions, as the adage says.

Samsung partners with biggest maternity hospital for National Breastfeeding Awareness Month

Mothers now have easier access to breast milk by visiting the Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Medical Center.

MANILA, Philippines, August 28, 2019 – Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. (SEPCO) recently donated refrigerators to serve as breast milk vaults, to do its part in observation

of the National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The tech company handed over two state-of-the-art refrigerators to the maternity facilities of Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Medical Center.

The donation is in line with Samsung’s renewed corporate citizenship vision that supports the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) sustainable development goals.

These address some of the biggest challenges around the world, such as those related to poverty, hunger, health, education, and climate and environmental degradation. “ The Depar tment of Newborn Medicine of Dr. Jo s e Fab e l l a Me m or i a l Hospital wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to Samsung Philippines for their invaluable support and generous donation of French-door refrigerators for our NICU Breastfeeding Area and KMC ward,” noted the hospital’s Medical Center Chief, Dr. Esmeraldo Ilem. Studies show that breast milk, often called liquid gold, is rich in nutrients and antibodies to protect babies from infections and illnesses. According to a 2017 report by UNICEF and the World Health Organization, only 34 percent of children under six months in the Philippines are exclusively breastfed. In addition, research also shows that breast milk may

be kept for a few days up to six months, depending on the storage temperature. Samsung aims to provide a viable form of storage of donated breast milk for mothers who may encounter difficulties producing their own breast milk especially after giving birth. The company donated two units of French-door Refrigerators, a refrigerator that aims to ensure that the breast milk remains at its best quality and will be ready for consumption anytime. This is possible with its Triple and Metal Cooling feature, with three evaporators and a specialized metal wall. This feature enables precise and optimal cooling in all compartments, ensuring the freshness of the milk. The fridge also has a FlexZone Technology, which not only preserves the ideal temperature of food and beverages but also allows for easy temperature control (-23 degree Celsius to -2 degree Celsius), based

on how long the breast milk needs to be stored. Dr. Mary Anne Ilao, OIC the facility’s Department of Newborn Medicine also added that the refrigerators “will help ensure proper storage of mothers’ own expressed breast milk for the daily use of their own sick and small babies.” “We understand that breastfeeding is an unparalleled source of food and nutrition for the healthy growth of babies that can save their lives, and even contribute to improved health outcomes for both children and mothers. It is our responsibility to find ways, no matter how small, to help mothers in their breastfeeding journey,” shared James Jung, president of Samsung Philippines. Samsung b elie ves in innovations that nurture and enable people through technology. This project is another step toward that direction to aid hospitals and mothers in caring for their young children.
