OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental -- The Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DABFAR) in Misamis Occidental led the the 56th Fish Conservation Week celebration at the Provincial Fisheries Office here, capped by an Aqua Trade Fair Exhibit showcasing the various fish and fishery products in the province. In her message, Provincial Fisheries Officer, Gilda N. Abao emphasized that yield and profit would increase through sustainable and healthy fisheries. “We can attain this vision and mission through collective participation and effort of all stakeholders in empowering the fisher folks and the private sectors to work together in order that we can realize the sustainable management toward increasing profitability, productivity and with the competitiveness of the Philippines in the export market,” Abao said. She a ls o u rge d t he fishermen to help protect and conserve marine lives. “Kinahangalan ta nga magkonserbar sa atong aquatic resources para ang mga tawo makahibawo kon unsa kini ka importante for our well-being (we need to conserve our

aquatic resources so that the people would know its importance to our wellbeing),” she added. Abao personally turnedover the post-harvest utensils to nine local government units (LGUs), namely, Ozamiz City, Clarin, Baliangao, Sapang Dalaga, Lopez Jaena, Bonifacio, Jimenez, Sinacaban and Plaridel to help the fisher folks preserve the freshness of their fishery products being displayed in the markets, as well as enhance the sanitation in their markets. BFAR also highlighted the significant contribution of the fisher folks in achieving a sustainable and developed fisheries sector. The Fish Conser vation Week, which is celebrated every third week of September, was created by virtue of Presidential Proclamation no. 176 and mandated in Republic Act 8550, also known as the Philippine Fisheries Code, to intensify awareness on the need to conserve and protect fisheries and aquatic resources. This year’s theme is “Itaguyod ang Malinis at Masaganang Karagatan tungo sa Masaganang ANI at Mataas na KITA sa Industriya ng Pangisdaan.” (PIA MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL/ SMRN)

and media person would like to jump onto the Feng Shui bandwagon with selffulfilling prophecy Pygmalion luck as if it were true at all. After all, their industry is contentiously pretentious. Faking it til they make it in ratings. Hop ef ully not your pockets to pick! Internet Feng Shui is a catch 22 game nowadays.

THINK a minute... Watching the Olympics can be both inspiring and heartbreaking. It is easy to get caught up both with “the thrill of victory” and “the agony of defeat.” This is especially true when the world’s greatest athletes, who have worked so hard their entire lives, lose by only a fraction of a second! Even with all their years of daily discipline and training, they still must finish well! “Almost” winning does not count. No one is remembered and rewarded for what they “almost” did. In the 2008 B eijing Olympics, both the U.S. men’s and women’s 400 meter relay teams learned this

the hard way. They ran well for most of the race, but then just near the end they dropped the baton. One of them, Tyson Gay, who was the 2007 world champion in both the 200 and 100 meter dashes, left the Olympics empty-handed with not even a single medal. He can tell you about the agony of not finishing well! In 2003, after 22 years of exploration, the Space Shuttle Columbia went on its 28th mission, this time with seven astronauts on board. They were on a 16-day journey into space to conduct important experiments. Everything went well and they achieved their goals, so they were returning to

earth from their successful mission. They were just 16 minutes from landing… when suddenly the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded! Only tiny pieces were left of what was one of history’s most sophisticated machines and masterpieces of engineering. But the even greater tragedy was the sudden loss of those seven brave and brilliant astronauts. They came so close, only 16 minutes from home, but they did not make it. It is not how you start, but how you finish that determines everything. In the most important matters of life and death, right and wrong, “almost” does not count! You have to finish

well. If you let yourself be distracted or detoured, even just a little, it can end up destroying you! So don’t wait another minute! Won’t you ask Jesus to take full charge of your heart and daily way of living? He made it crystal clear that if you truly love Him, you will wholeheartedly live His way every day. Only then, with His help and power, can you be sure you will live well and finish well. Just think a minute…

Open Conflicts, Building Bridges Of Peace (Cardinal Orlando B. Quevedo, OMI, Archbishop Emeritus of the Archdiocese of Cotabato, delivered this piece in a panel discussion during the Interfaith Peace Forum, “Peace Without Borders” held in Madrid, Spain on 15-17 September 2019). MAY I localize the topic under discussion and speak of open conflicts and building bridges of peace on the southern island of Mindanao, Philippines. I shall speak from my own personal experience. In the past 48 years the Archdiocese of Cotabato, where I am the Archbishop Emeritus, has been the arena of open armed conflict. Major parts of my presentation: a. The social context; b. Causes and Rise of Open Armed Conflicts; c. Negotiations for Peace, Final Peace Agreement; d. Terrorism and Violent Extremism in Mindanao’ e. Dialogue, Building Bridges of Peace – Forming Persons of Dialogue A. The Social Context The Philippines has a population of 108 million people. 82% is Catholic. Unfamiliar to many is the fact that there is a Muslim region in the Philippines. This is the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim

Mindanao (BARMM) in the southern part of the Philippines.. There are more than five million Muslims in the Philippines. About 3.5 million live in BARMM, a region consisting of five provinces and three cities in southwestern Mindanao. Nine out of ten people in BARMM are Muslim. The Archdiocese of Cotabato is located in this Muslim region. It covers the Muslim Province of Maguindanao. The Catholic Cathedral is located in Cotabato City which is more than 60 % Muslim. The Muslim provinces and cities are economically underdeveloped. Traditionally ruled by elected powerful families and clans, BARMM is the poorest region in the country. In BARMM indigenous Peoples, like the Christians, are a significant minority. They are usually the poorest of the poor. Philippine laws safeguard their identity, fundamental human rights, and their ancestral domain. B. Causes of Armed Conflict in Mindanao 1. Loss of Muslim SelfDetermination and Sovereignty In the 13th century Muslim traders brought Islam to the southern islands of what is now known as the Philippines. It was more

than 200 years before Magellan, the Spanish navigator, “discovered” the Philippines in the 16th century.. Muslim Sultans later spread their sovereignty over the indigenous peoples of Mindanao. Their sovereign power reached as far as Manila in the north. When Christian Spain conquered the islands of Luzon and the Visayas in the 16th and 17th centuries, Muslim Sultans on the islands of Mindanao and Sulu, successfully resisted Spanish colonial power. At the turn of the turn of the 20th century, Spain ceded the Philippines to America as a result of the Spanish-American War. Recognizing their distinct identity the American government accommodated them by creating the “Moro Province” of Mindanao in 1903 with an American military governor. Eventually the Muslims lost all their sovereign power. 2. Loss of Territory Encouraged by the American government and later by the Philippine government, waves of Christian migrants from Luzon and the Visayas settled in Mindanao, the “Land of Promise.” From 1903 to 1973 waves of Christian migration from Luzon and the Visayas turned the once Muslim-dominated islands of Mindanao and

Palawan into a Christian territory, constricting the Muslim population to just five Mindanao provinces. 3. Poverty, Underdevelopment, and Government Neglect The loss of sovereign power and territory brought poverty and underdevelopment, aggravated by national government neglect. The poverty situation was albeit abetted by elected powerful Muslim clans with inadequate sense of the common good. 4. Biases and Prejudices. Deep-seated historic biases between Muslims and Christians simmered under the surface and often erupted into brief armed conflicts. In fact when the Americans granted independence to the Philippines in 1946, Muslim politicians and intellectuals wanted to be under the Americans rather than under the majority Christian Filipinos. The Rise of Open Armed Conflict In 1969 a Muslim University professor, driven by the deep-seated desire to regain Muslim self-determination, sovereignty, and territory, organized the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), recruited thousands of young Muslims and began to wage a See PEACE, page 11

GSIS will refinance their loans up to Php500,000 with lending institutions at a lower interest rate of six percent per annum and payable at a longer term of up to six years. GFAL borrowers stand to take home higher take-home pay and protect their retirement benefits from future deductions.

Gov’t, private sectors urged to unite vs. ASF By DIGNA BANZON

DAVAO CITY -- The head of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) called on local governments to join hands with the private sector in preventing the entry of

African swine fever (ASF) into the island. Secretary Emmanuel Piñol made the call on Wednesday following the series of consultations with Mindanaoan hog growers, where it was agreed

that ASF is best addressed starting with local government units (LGUs), which should institute measures to prevent the entry of live hogs, pork, and processed meats into Mindanao. “I call on all mayors

and governors to issue an executive order to prevent the entry of the African swine fever in Mindanao,” Piñol said. The Hog Raisers Association of Davao, led by Eduardo C. So, also urged LGU officials, especially those hosting international

airports and ports, to “immediately institute measures to ban the entry of pork and other pork products from areas affected by ASF.” “We hope mechanisms to be in place and quarantine officials immediately deployed in entry points, See UNITE, page 9

Davao health office urges parents to get children vaccinated By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY -- The City Health Office (CHO) here is calling on parents to bring their kids to the nearest health centers for immunization against poliomyelitis, as the local government starts rolling out a massive anti-polio immunization starting October 14. Dr. Josephine Villafuerte, CHO chief, underscored the importance of immunization, saying there was no “no other way to prevent the disease”. Recently, confirmed polio cases in Laguna and Lanao have resurfaced, prompting local governments across the country to intensify their anti-polio measures. Last week, CHO also confirmed that poliovirus was detected at the Davao River but assured that no infected person has been reported in the city. Villafuerte said the city is targeting a 100 percent coverage for children ages 5-years -old and below to receive the Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) or Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV). “We don’t want an 80 percent turnout; we want it to be 100 percent,” she said, adding that they would See PARENTS, page 9

Recruiters face charges after deploying minors LABOR Secretary Silvestre Bello III has ordered the immediate suspension of two licensed recruitment agencies now facing administrative and criminal charges after deploying minors as household service workers in Saudi Arabia. Philippine Overseas Employment Administrator Bernard Olalia identified the agencies as LGH International Services for deploying a 17-year old in Riyadh,

and the Side International Manpower Inc., for deploying a 14-year old in Jeddah. “These two agencies clearly violated the POEA rules and guidelines for engaging in illegal recruitment and human trafficking that put the security and welfare of two minors at risks and under exploitative practices,” Olalia said. Apart from the cancelation of license, the two recruitment agencies will

also be slapped with a fine ranging from P500,000 to P1 million. Olalia also said that POEA is now closely coordinating with the Department of Foreign Affairs and with other concerned agencies for the investigation on the minor’s fake documents, including their fabricated passports. “We are disclosing this information to make the public aware of the illegal practices of these agencies,

especially those seeking employment overseas. Illegal recruitment and human trafficking have no place in overseas employment,” Olalia said. Both minors were among the abused and maltreated OFWs who were repatriated earlier this week, and now reunited with their families and provided with necessary reintegration assistance by the government. ###AbegailDeVega

A senior labor official last week renewed calls to invest in human resources as priority in preparing the Filipino workforce in the changing world of work. Addressing t he 5t h A n nu a l P ubl i c Pol i c y Conference organized by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Undersecretary Ciriaco Lagunzad stressed the need for “upskilling, reskilling, and retooling” of workforce as a proactive response to the changing demands of the labor market. “Amid the growing influence of automation and artificial intelligence, it seems that the new world of work is about skills. Investing in our human resources, especially in the youth, must be our top priority in becoming more responsive

to the drastic changes in the global labor market,” Lagunzad said. The undersecretary also stressed the continuous initiatives of the government in sustaining a competitive workforce that supports and complements the demands of the ever-changing landscape of work. DOLE, through its labor market information systems, provides timely and relevant information on the current labor market, such as the in-demand jobs and skills shortages that will guide the Filipino workforce, especially the youth, in making informed career decisions. Likewise, the Career Guidance Advocacy Program empowers career advocates, guidance counselors, and training insti-

tutions in coming up with strategies aimed to increase the potentials of the current and future members of the labor force. Also, updated education and training with approaches that utilize technologies are provided to equip workers with skills needed in the emerging economy. “While we recognize the rapidly changing world of work and welcome pioneer-

ing new technologies, new jobs, and opportunities, we must bear in mind that those who will be affected by the transition are the least equipped, or vulnerable workforce that need our support. They must be equipped with proper skills and provided social protection policies to address market imperfections,” Lagunzad said. ###AbegailDeVega

DOLE reiterates call for human-centered labor agenda

DRIVEN BY RESILIENCE By LUREMY F. ABENIO Teacher 1 Bulua Central School Cagayan de Oro City

W h e n c o n f r o nt e d with tough times, others encourage us to push through and be “resilient.” However, what does being resilient mean and why it is essential to have this trait being a teacher by profession? Experiencing pupil misbehaviors such as disruptive talking, harassing classmates, verbal insults, defiance, and hostility, ranging from infrequent to frequent, mild to severe, is a thorny issue in everyday classroom and also the things that shape up teachers. However, exploring resilience among teachers as it relates to the management of challenging learner behavior could provide insights to create a more supportive environment for both teachers and learners in a school context. Resilience doesn’t just mean getting back to normal after facing a difficult situation. It means learning from the process in order to become stronger and better at tackling the next challenge.

Personally, being resilient allows me to apply the skills and strengths in managing and coping challenges I met inside the classroom. Instead of feeling the misery or hiding from problems with unhealthy coping strategies, I faced life’s difficulties and class challenges with head-on. I handled teaching and learning complications in ways that shows strength and maturity. Thus, I believe resilient teachers appear even stronger every day and are positive in doing their tasks. Generally, being resilient is my silent answer to the challenges encountered in my daily class engagements. It measures my capacity being the frontline of 21st Century education dealing the diverse millennial who are actively driven by curiosity and exploration.

A Glimpse On Managing 21st Century Classrooms By HELEN MAE G. JO, TEACHER II PANDAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DIVISION OF CAMIGUIN

Change is the only constant thing in the world, as the saying goes. Therefore, if teachers yearn to be effective classroom managers in this present time, then the willingness to undergo change in classroom management practices should be evident. Learners nowadays are unique. The school should provide opportunities for each of them to discover and develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. Every learner should be equipped with the necessary KSAVs in coping and adapting to the changes and challenges of the 21st century world. The curriculum and instructional experiences should be relevant to the needs and interests of the learners. For every difficulty that they may encounter, the teacher is there to inspire and encourage them to keep moving. Treat them fairly and love them unconditionally. Every school day isn’t perfect, even for the best teachers; kids are human and will have bad days. But by establishing clear classroom rules and procedures from the first day of school paves the way for an organized classroom. When learners know what is expected of them, and these expectations are reinforced daily, there is little room for power struggles between the teacher and the learner or complaints from parents. Create a few straightforward yet inclusive rules for the classroom. Too many rules will be hard for learners to remember and follow, so try to keep it five or six. This means that the rules need to be broad enough to encompass all the behaviors that want

to be avoided, while being clear enough that learners understand what behavior is expected. Write the rules with the learners. Call them Classroom Expectations to increase positivity. The most effective rules tell learners what they should do, not what they shouldn’t do. Display rules’ poster prominently in the front of the classroom so that everybody may refer to it often. Classroom structuring provides opportunities for meaningful learning. So, frames, furniture and seats are properly placed and arranged. Arrange files and instructional materials for easy access; label them properly. Change seating arrangements and styles regularly to allow learners to explore and learn from others. ICT equipment should be suitably installed to aid teaching. Every corner of the room should be utilized. Learners safety inside the classroom is one of the utmost concerns of teachers. Conduct of regular inspection and ensuring its safety should be done. Learners should be taught to behave calmly and safely in emergency situations. Adapting a child-friendly environment where learners are equally treated, where differences are embraced and diversity is considered as strength to be productive. Any form of discrimination and bullying is very much discouraged. Everyone should feel safe and welcome in the school regardless of culture, background and social status. Lastly, positive behavior and good academic results deserve reward and recognition. Consistently rewarding or recognizing positive behaviors will go a long way.

Duties of a school administrative assistant By GERALDINE C. BENGHIT Administrative Assistant II Tangub City Schools Division

SCHOOL administrative assistants, also referred to as secretaries or receptionists, are primarily responsible for handling all clerical tasks in a school’s office. As with administrative assistants in other settings, school administrative assistants answer phones, file records and greet visitors. They also read and respond to mail and email from parents, students, teachers and other community stakeholders. In addition, school administrative assistants record student attendance, handle student or teacher requests and report to the principal. Public and private elementary and secondary schools will continue to require professionals in this role to maintain student

records, provide assistance to parents and school officials and satisfy all clerical responsibilities in a school office. School administrative assistants must perform various tasks in order to fulfill all demands of the occupation. They typically handle all phone calls coming into a school. They converse with school officials, parents and teachers, handle complaints and address issues pertaining to students and school policies. They also answer emails from administrators, parents and the schools division office. From generating letters to making copies, school administrative assistants provide daily support to school personnel. They are the ones who generally order school supplies to the schools division.

Don’t ask time where it’s gone: tell it where to go By JENNIFER S. EGUIA

GOOD time management allows you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time which leads to more free time which lets you take advantage of learning opportunities, lowers your stress and helps you focus which leads to more career success. Get a handle on why managing your time effectively is important and what you stand to gain from it. No matter how you slice it, there are only 24 hours in a day. That applies to you and to your co-teacher and to each of your students who consistently accomplishes more than you. If you want to

shine as a teacher in your school, you have to acknowledge the importance of finding a way to manage this limited resource. Remember that 24 hours is already lessened by the length of time you need to sleep. Once you learn to take control of your time, you will improve your ability to focus. And with increased focus comes enhanced efficiency because you don’t lose momentum. You’ll start to breeze through tasks more quickly. The workday will also seem to fly by. You’ll soon find that a nice side benefit of good time management skills is the ability to make better decisions.

clarified that OPVs have been given out by the CHO even without the outbreak as a regular program to prevent polio. Aside from immunization, Villafuerte reminded residents to also maintain proper hygiene, cook their food thoroughly, avoid swimming in rivers and other public swimming areas, wash their hands thoroughly and ensure that they have their own toilets. Polio is an infectious disease which spreads rapidly. It can cause paralysis, and on rare occasions, can be fatal. It can be spread when a food or drink contaminated with poliovirus is ingested.

Dominguez eyes possible solutions to IRA allocation hikes By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA -- Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez said on Wednesday the High Court’s ruling increasing local governments’ internal revenue allotment (IRA) is projected to increase the share of government’s budget gap on domestic output. “That’s going to create a fiscal problem, which in our estimates, without doing anything, would drive up our deficit from 3.2 percent to 4.1 percent (of gross domestic product). That is not acceptable,” he told senators in a hearing. Last April, the Supreme Court (SC) affirmed with

finality its ruling increasing the IRA, which previously is only 40 percent of the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) collections. Aside from the share from BIR revenues, the SC decision said the IRA should also be taken from, among others, the tariff and duties collected by the Bureau of Customs (BOC), 50 percent of value-added tax (VAT), 30 percent of national taxes collected in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, 60 percent of national taxes collected from the exploitation and development of national wealth, and 85 percent of excise tax from

tobacco products. To address the impact of the additional expenses on national government, Dominguez raised the possibility of giving to the local governments the responsibility of financing health and education-related expenses, as well as the construction of roads in their areas. Another option is requesting lawmakers to pass a law that will reduce IRA allocation to 30 percent or for the President to declare as unmanageable the fiscal deficit as a result of the new IRA policies. Dominguez pointed out this issue has evolved from See HIKES, page 11

GoKoon Industries – for your agri supplies needs By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent

A new retail outlet that sells agricultural supplies has just opened in Cagayan de Oro City recently. G o Ko on Indust r i e s opened last Friday at the G/L, Neo Central Arcade, Zone 10, barangay Cugman, this city. Among the many products it sells are the following: chicken crates, egg trays, tube feeders, bakery stackable supplies, funnel vents, chicken flooring, feeder bowls, grass pads, galloners and more. According to owners John Mark Apilan and Carolyn Go, the place is just

strategic for both household and commercial clients since it is located along the highway. GoKoon Industries is also the exclusive distributor of Saint Roche products in Northern Mindanao. Also in the same vicinity is a branch of Pets 2Go. It can be recalled that the state-of-the art veterinary clinic opened last year in barangay Bulua, also this city. Because many of their clients also come from the eastern part, owners Myrjie Dulanas, Jan Jerich Go and Mark Apilan have decided Left side Dr. Myrjie dulanas Pets 2go Residents Doctor and Pets 2Go owner, Aldrico to branch out in barangay Manus, john Mark apilan Pets 2go owner and Gokoon Industries Right side Carloline Go See SUPPLIES, page 11

Holcim to help Iligan City in waste management

LEADING cement maker Holcim Philippines, Inc. and its waste management unit Geoycle will help Barangay Poblacion of Iligan City manage its municipal wastes in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner by using qualified materials to produce low-carbon fuels

which will be used in cement manufacturing. Under the partnership, the local government of Barangay Poblacion will send to Holcim’s plant in Lugait, Misamis Oriental plant for pre- and co-processing nonhazardous and low-moisture residual wastes such as plas-

tics, laminates, textiles, and rubber. Geocycle will also extend technical assistance and training on proper waste segregation and packaging to employees of Barangay Poblacion’s materials recovery facilities. Barangay Poblacion will become the second com-

munity after the municipality of Lugait that is provided waste management assistance by Holcim Philippines in Northern Mindanao. Last year, the Lugait plant pre and co-processed close to 1,500 tons of sorted municipal solid wastes. Geocycle has also been providing waste management assistance through Holcim’s plant in Norzagaray, Bulacan to several municipalities and cities in Central Luzon and Metro Manila. “We believe that co-processing is an effective and sustainable tool in addressing the waste management challenges of the country. Holcim Philippines is committed to further developing partnerships with local governments and raising awareness about the advantages of co-processing to further raise our contribution to lessening wastes that go to landfills,” said Holcim

Philippines Vice President for Geocycle Frederic Vallat. Co-processing is a government-approved and globallyrecognized waste management technology that repurposes non-recyclable qualified discarded materials from various industries into alternative lowcarbon fuels and raw materials used in cement kiln. Among the environmental advantages of co-processing are the extremely high temperatures of kiln and longer treatment time materials that prevent formation of harmful gases. There are also no residues to be landfilled. Holcim Philippines is committed to increase its use of low-carbon fuels in cement manufacturing to reduce carbon emissions, cut use of virgin raw materials and contribute to managing wastes in the country in a sustainable manner.

BSP exec cites needs to further enhance capital market By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA – The need to introduce further improvements to the Philippines’ capital market has risen especially in recent years to help address the dovish interest rate outlook and slower global growth, among others. Reliance on banks as major fund source for corporates should be lessened. Instead, businesses should have greater access to the capital market. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Assistant Governor Johnny Noe Ravalo, in a briefing on the release of the Financial Stability Report for the first half of 2018 until 2019 at the central bank Wednesday, said members of the Financial Stability Coordination Council (FSCC) has recommended three interventions to ensure financial stability in the domestic economy. These measures are namely fewer but deeper benchmark tenors, indexed bonds, and tenor-based pricing. Revelo said these proposed interventions are very timely because interest rates are falling and so it financing. In an interview by journalists, he explained that reducing dependence on banks for funding cannot be done overnight since an economy needs an efficient capital market first to really change the market landscape.

being a fiscal problem to “a political fight.” But he said declaring the resulting fiscal gap as “unmanageable” is not expected to negatively impact on the country’s investment grade credit rating. “It will be positive because we recognize it and we’re not implementing a decision that’s unmanageable,” he added.

full-scale rebellion against the Philippine Government. It aimed to create an independent Muslim State. But in 1976, the MNLF signed the Tripoli agreement by which it accepted the idea of a semi-autonomous region. Some 57 MNLF leaders did not accept the agreement and broke away from the MNLF. In 1984 they formally formed the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and continued the Bangsamoro rebellion for an independent state. C. Negotiations And Final Peace Agreement After years of armed struggle towards independence, the MILF eventually began negotiations for enhanced autonomy, but far superior to that of the partial autonomy that the MNLF had signed with the government. Seventeen years of negotiations concluded with the signing of a final peace agreement in 2014. This created the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). The Bangsamoro would exercise their right of self-determination and sovereignty with their own form of government in their own limited territory, within the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Philippine Republic. It was a win-win solution to a very complex political, cultural, religious, and economic situation. D. Emergence of Terrorism and more Opened Armed Conflict In 2017 open armed conflict between extremist ISILaffiliated Filipino Muslims erupted in the Muslim city of Marawi, southern Mindanao. They set fire to the Catholic Cathedral of Marawi and to the Protestant college dormitory, and took several Christians including a Catholic priest as hostages. The five-month siege of Marawi ended with the deaths of the leaders, the Maute brothers, but only after Marawi had been bombarded to flush out the terrorists. At present, Mindanao is suffering from four types of terrorist attacks, first by the continuing rebellion of the Maute Group (MG) and, second, by the Abu Sayaff Group (ASG), notorious for its kidnap-for-ransom criminal activities. Both groups have pledged allegiance to ISIL. A third open terrorist conflict is with one of three factions of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). This BIFF faction is for independence. The fourth armed conflict is with the National Democratic Front led by the Communist Party of the Philippines and its military arm, the New Peoples’ Army (NDF/CPP/NPA). It aims ultimately to set up a government, ideologically based on Leninist-Marxist-Mao Tze Dong thought. In summary, the main causes of armed conflicts are: perceived social injustices, poverty, economic exclusion and marginalization, biases and prejudices, corrupt governance and government neglect. E.

He pointed out that an efficient capital market reflects fair prices of risks and fair price of risks for a particular tenor, which investors can compare. “So by giving out fair prices, tenor-based, you’re allowing people choices. Do I borrow one-time seven years or do I borrow five years and then borrow two years after the fifth year? Those are the decisions that have to be made,” he said. To date, some listed companies are now issuing their bond debt papers, thus, Ravelo said the change will not start from zero because there is already a market for these instruments. “What we’d like to do going forward is polish whatever we have right now so that a lot more of the SMEs (small and medium enterprise) can go to the capital market instead of just going to the banking industry,” he said. The BSP executive explained that while there is nothing wrong from borrowing from banks, these financial institutions also get part of their funds from deposits, which account holders can withdraw anytime they want. This, he pointed out, “comes in a market friction cost and market development cost.” “Whereas compared to the capital market when an issuer says I’m raising 10year money those who buy the 10-year bond are saying we have 10-year money. So the tenor mismatch is removed,” he said. “From that alone that’s going to be a massive improvement already. So it’s the next step but just to be absolutely clear we’re not starting from zero,” he said. “That’s also why we are growing by six percent because we have a financial market that allows for the economic activities to be financed,” he added.

Friday, September 27, 2019 perience and observation, achieving peace is a journey of dialogue. I update this conviction with the landmark Abu Dhabi document, “Human Fraternity” that was signed by the Pope and by the Grand Imam of Al Azhar. We see this journey to peace in the experience of the peace panels of the MILF and the Philippine government. They embarked on a journey of dialogue, requiring openness, patient listening and endurance, marked by detours and threats of suspension. Fundamentally their dialogue for peace was a journey from hostility and suspicion to understanding and mutual trust. 1. Inter-Faith Dialogue My own basic experience was and continues to be Interfaith Dialogue with Muslims, other Christians, and believers of traditional religions, i.e., indigenous peoples. This takes several levels: F. Dialogue of Life in everyday interaction in offices, schools, in markets and business establishments; G. Dialogue of Religious Experiences, when peoples of different faiths share together how and when they pray, what they pray for, what their respective faiths mean for them, their experience of the Divine, etc; H. Dialogue of Theological Exchange, when religious leaders share their doctrinal beliefs about God, Creation and Environment, their holy books and traditions, Jesus and Mary, Redemption, Salvation, etc.; I. Dialogue of Action, when after dialogue on social issues they move into collaborative action for the social transformation of their communities. In my experience it is imperative that permanent channels or structures for dialogue between members of different faiths, with civil society and government are set up. 2. Intra-Faith Dialogue to Address Terrorism and Biases Terrorism is an ideology that has no borders. It is irreligious. Its claim to be religious is based on a misinterpretation and selective as well as manipulative understanding of the texts of sacred revelation. Hence authentic and authoritative teachers of religion have strongly condemned violent extremists and terrorists as irreligious. All religions are religions of peace. The name of the God of peace cannot be

invoked to kill and maim or massacre. For this reason it is my conviction that the need of the hour against terrorism as well as against biases and prejudices is intra-faith dialogue. Local Christian pastors, ulama, ustadz, imams need to form the minds and hearts of their constituents in the true holistic teachings of their respective faiths, teachings such as respect for human dignity and fundamental human rights, understanding of and respect for other faiths, love of neighbor, and common pilgrimage to the Reign of God. Such formation has to begin in the home, within the family, and has to extend to formal and informal education in madaris and schools, forming individuals to become persons of dialogue and peace – persons with hearts of peace. The heart of peace is peace in the heart. (Cardinal Orlando B. Quevedo’s panel was chaired by Mario Giro, of the Community of Sant’Egidio, Italy. The other panelists were Awut Deng Acuil, Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Sudan; Jawad Al-Khoei, Secretary General of Al-Khoei Institute in Iraq; Abdulwahhab Ahmed Al-Taha Al-Sammaraee, Spokesman of Fiqh Council of Senior Scholars in Iraq; Nelson Castiano Chiganda Moda of the Community of Sant’Egidio in Mozambique and Mohammad Tarek Shaban Salem of Al-Azhar University in Egypt).

Cagayan de Oro Smart City Surveillance Seminar

Seagate and Dahua Team-Up for Smart and Safer Cities

C

ITIES in Asia and around the globe will soon be safer for its residents as two of the world’s leading tech companies have joined forces to develop Safer Cities. Smart cities are, as a concept, safer cities. Urban officials dream of “Smart Cities” that integrate new technologies to gather comprehensive data and algorithms to achieve increased efficiency, sustainability and safety. Most of these technologies involve ultra high resolution cameras and high speed, mega capacity data storage that can be tasked with jobs that range from keeping track of traffic to monitoring peace and order in the city.
