Senator bats for federal form of government By MARLON GAYOG Davao News Bureau

DAVAO City––Senator Teofisto “TG” Guingona III on Monday said the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) will revive the call for a federal form of government.

Guingona, who visited Davao Occidental upon invitation of Governor Claude Bautista to grace the Araw ng Malita on November 17, admitted the passage of BBL is not easy. He told reporters during the press conference that there are many issues hounding the

passage of BBL. “I will support Federalism, I will support the Commonwealth of Mindanao, if the Bangsamoro Basic Law will be passed into law, I hope that Federalism will also become a law,” said Guingona. “So we need Charter Change,” he added.

Funeral March marked student leader’s burial DAVAO DEL NORTE l DAVAO DEL SUR lDAVAO DEL ORIENTALl COMPOSTELA VALLEY

By DAVAOTODAY.com

D

AVAO City - A funeral march of hundreds marked the burial here Friday, November 14, of the student-leader turned New People’s Army fighter who was killed in combat with government troops in Sarangani province. Carr ying a mural, wreaths, and revolutionary slogans, more than a hundred mourners marched Rendell Ryan “Perper” Cagula to his final resting place in a private cemetery at 2pm Friday. The funeral march started from a Roman Catholic Church several kilometers away and the marchers had

to ply major city routes. Cagula, was the Chairperson of the University Student Council of the University of the Philippines Mindanao in the year 20112012. Later, he also became the Spokesperson of the League of Filipino Students and Kabataan partylist. A statement from the Communist Party of the Philippines’s S outhern Mindanao Regional Party Committee (CPP-SMRC) said Cagula joined the NPA in December 2013. The CPP said Cagula, whom they referred to as “Comrade Lucas” died “while fighting the fascist enemy troops of the 27th Infantry Battalion in Maasim, Saranggani at 2 pm Novem-

ber 4, 2014…along with martyred Red fighters Ka Payat, Ka Doming and Ka Jappie.” The death of Cagula stirred debate about the involvement of the youth, especially those who came from prominent Davao City universities, to the armed struggle. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) asked the help of the police’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) to investigate how Cagula became an NPA. Lt. Col. Llewyn Binasoy, quoted in a local newspaper report, said they have requested the CIDG to find out why a student from a “very prestigious” university

was allegedly conducting research with the NPA. Binasoy said that it is only after armed engagements that they come to know of their opponent’s identities. Binasoy said that Cagula is just “one of victims” of the “deception and recruitment inside schools and universities in Mindanao” of the CPP-NPA. But for the CPP, “it was only a matter of time” before Cagula was recruited to the Kabataang Makabayan, an underground youth organization supporting the armed struggle. “In his foray with these organizations, he became exposed to the basic ills of society and the sorry state of peasants, workers, indigenous people and the urban poor. His study of society led him to an awakening that the same ills can only be cured not by reforms but by a systemic change through an armed revolution,” said the CPP.

Cagula, said the CPP, became a “full member” of the Communist Party with “key tasks” in the youth and student sector. “As a tireless organizer, agitator, educator, and methodical facilitator, he took up key tasks at the Party branch in the youth and student sector. A Party cadre he truly had become, when he decided to stop schooling and concentrate with his Party work,” the CPP said. Ka Ef ren A ks as ato, spokesperson of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines Far South Mindanao who gave a live telephone message during the mass before Cagula’s burial, described the life of Cagula in the mountains of Sarangani. Aksasato said that NPA guerrillas “are also human beings.” “Some comrades who were there when Ka Lucas’ and two others died were shaken. But such are the realities of war every NPA guerrilla face amidst serving the indigenous people and the farmers,” said Aksasato. The CPP said that the “ever exploitative and oppressive conditions of the Philippine society continue to provide fertile ground for the young to join the revolution.” The CPP said that like

Cagula, “the youth should never fear sacrifice for there can be no revolutionary victory without sacrifice, to not waver in the face of any setback, to always uphold the revolutionary cause, to not let down guard, rely on the masses at all times, and to strive more in order to defeat the enemy.” The student leader’s body was brought “home” in UP the night before he was buried. Cagula’s “homecoming” was not immediately granted permission by the UP administration, a friend told Davao Today. Students and some faculty members had to gather signatures to petition that Cagula be laid for his last night at the university. According to the University Student Council, they were able to get the signatures of the leaders of 17 out of 22 organizations Tuesday but sensed that their request will be denied. As such, they also simultaneously started to gather signatures of individuals starting late Tuesday. Wednesday morning, their request was formally “rejected.” But by Wednesday evening, the group already had the signatures of 565 out of 974 students, citing only See march, page A9

DSWD consults school principals on extension of age coverage implementation

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Northern Mindanao has consulted school principals of secondary public schools of Northern Mindanao on the implementation of the extended age coverage of childrenbeneficiaries of Pantawid Pamiyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid Pamilya) here. The consultation aims to solicit recommendations from the principals for policy enhancements, especially on the compliance of beneficiaries who are undergoing alternative delivery mode of formation in secondary education and those who are under non-formal formation of the Alternative Learning System of the Department of Education (DepEd); aside from lobbying to them the possible inclusion of youth development session to its Values Education subject. The extended age coverage program of DSWD to former grantees of Pantawid Pamilya goes beyond the five-year limit to cover up to high school education; to extend the age coverage up to eighteen (18) years of age, taking into account the K-12 program of the Department of Education; to provide a higher grant amount of P500 per child in high school; and to maintain the limit of three child beneficiaries per household. Lawyer Araceli F. Solamillo, Regional Director of DSWD Northern Mindanao, said the consultation will improve and strengthen partnership between DSWD and DepEd in serving the Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries, especially on the education conditions of the program. “We need to consult them because the extension of age coverage has modifications and changes

Cindy Daaca, allegedly failed to account for the missing firearms. Macauyag said the city prosecutor’s office has not formed a panel of prosecutors, but assigned the case to only one prosecutor with him to expedite the case. Two non-commissioned police officers, and one

employee, in Camp Alagar had earlier filed a complaint against Daaca. They were identified as PO3 Arvin Yorong, PO3 Juben Rosales and Jonor Caranzo. Macauyag said Daaca was charged for alleged violation of Republic Act 10591, otherwise known as

the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition. He added that they need a case buildup before issuing the resolution. Daaca has reportedly not been seen at Camp Alagar lately. Macauyag said she has not filed a counter affidavit.

A public high school principal of San Fernando, Bukidnon suggests to his fellow school administrators to consider beneficiaries who are undergoing Alternative Delivery Mode or under modular formation as compliant to education condition of Pantawid Pamilya. He said San Fernando adopts the alternative mode of delivery because the town has several numbers of students who are living far from the school, but willing to learn.

When the cloud of war looms (First of Two Parts) In the past, I have written a lot of articles about China’s aggression in the South China Sea. My article, which I also posted in my blog trended in the mainland China when a major Chinese newspaper came across it. Although a sharp and a direct affront to China’s foreign policies in the South East Asian region, the article did not meet harsh reaction and mean criticism from the Chinese Daily that has an English section. The articles also saw print in the back issues of Mindanao Daily News at the height of China’s saber rattling policy in the South China Sea. The incident occurred following China’s

incursion (island-grabbing) of the “Scarborough Shoal” (Bajo De Masinloc), some 200 nautical miles west off the coast of the province of Zambales in western Luzon. Ever since, and until now, despite the pressures by the international community, China has refused to buckle down and appeared to be more aggressive in asserting control of the entire South China Sea. During the recent AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) on Nov. 5 – 11, 2014, in the Huairou District of Beijing, North China, the Philippines has sought the support of the Asian countries, particularly the Southeast Asian countries to work for the

INFLIGHT WIFI -- Last Saturday night on my way home from Hongkong, I was worried while airborne at 38,000 feet on board PAL’s PR307 that I would miss my connecting flight from Manila to Davao to catch up with an event I did not want to miss. But PAL’s in-flight wifi eased the tension. I was getting periodic text messages from the ground that yes; PAL as usual would be late. Thanks to in-flight wifi! Cool! And thanks to PAL for being late as usual! (Hahaha). By the way, in fairness to PAL, it’s mainly the congested air traffic at the antic NAIA that is causing all this!

One of the most important parts in my life is the belief in supernatural power which governs the universe. It doesn’t matter which religion we belong to or believe in: the recognition of God as object of worship, the form of worship should be our primacy need. During my stay in some Western countries, I experienced icy and conceited comments such as religiousness isn’t popular any more. Religiousness makes people unwilling and morose because of exaggeration and sometimes even hypocrisy. Increasing negative headlines about the “institutional church” nowadays and also in the past, and embarrassing comparisons lead only to discord. How come? We want to see the religiousity of

our fellow creatures. We want to understand their ideology. But we are also poking our nose into other people’s business too much. Let’s look behind the scenes and let’s find out what religious behavior promotes: humility in actual life. Maybe. It’s hard for us to do without affecting others. We even forget the real meaning of religiousness. St. John Crysostom subscribed on the topic “Pagans and Christians” very well: “There would be no pagans if we were good Christians. But the pagans see us manifesting the same desires, pursuing the same objects - power and honor - as themselves, how can they admire Christianity? They see our lives open to reproach and our souls

peaceful settlement of the South China Sea stand off. While most Asian country’s, including China, have expressed support of the Philippines suggestion, many doubts the true intention of China’s thrust

in the region. In his speech during the APEC gathering world leaders on November 9, 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping disclosed his government’s vision of a Chinese-driven “Asia-Pacific dream.” Whatever President Xi means of a Chinese-driven “Asia-Pacific dream” brings us back seven decades ago in the 1940’s when Japan Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke expressed the Japanese government’s policy of creating the so called “Greater East-Asia Coprosperity Shere” in the region.

HONGKONG PROTEST -- The night outing after the forum brought us to the famous MONGKOK shopping-night market area in downtown Hongkong.

One high schooler sprawled on his mattress told me he had been there for 20 days and did not yet know when their mass protest actions would end. I saw uniformed policemen chatting at a corner while tourists and curious shoppers were milling around, listening to some demands of the demonstrators, although most were interested

DA offer scholarship grants to IPs – “Gusto po nating bigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga IPs na baguhin ang buhay sa kanilang mga komunidad (We want to provide an opportunity to the indigenous people to uplift their living condition in their communities),” said Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala as he committed to help the indigenous people in Managok, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon headed by Datu Oto Umao. In a farmer’s forum held in the area, Alcala has committed to provide four scholarship grants agriculture and fisheries courses through the Agricultural Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (ACEF) for the deserving younger generation tribal members. Moreover, he also stated that the regional office of DA through a collaborative effort with the local government unit of Malaybalay City shall promote the use of contour farming technology in the area which he intends to see materialize on the next cropping season. Alcala cited that some farmers in the area plant corn on hilly areas which is prone to soil erosion so the promotion on the use of Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT) is apt as it will provide long term benefits to the farming communities in the area. The said intervention is part of the DA’s thrust on the sustainable production of food using climate-smart technologies. # (VANESSA MAE S. SIANO, DA-RAFIS 10) photo supplied

most were interested in the usual photo ops and “kodakan”. One hawker told me that contrary to what others said, business is more brisk because the protest activities, aside from being peaceful were attracting tourists. Interesting! Back to the media forum, I was glad I attended the biennial event of ACMC. There were interesting research outcome presentations that caught my attention -- and fancy. ON- LINE DATING -- For example one break-away session dealt with digital media and the prevalence of “on-line dating”. One lonely soul can just click a site to find a suitable partner. Dr. Tony Chalkley of the Deaken University, Geelong in Australia prepared a paper entitled “ON LINE DATING: IS A DIGITAL KISS AND VIRTUAL WINK THE NEW WAY OF FINDING LOVE?” He postulated that this new way of finding one’s partner will “encourage you to reflect on

your own values and expectations around the concept of “public” and “private” self. He said there are also indications that although many on-liners are not portraying their real selves through their blogs or postings, there are also many who are living “closet lives” in real lives who give or reveal their own true selves on line. ON INDON TEXTINGTwo Indonesian researchers showed how modern day texting using the cell phone’s “short message services” or SMS not only corrupted the students’ English spelling. But significantly, the cultural trait of respect, deference to elders or superiors are lost in the process -- a clear erosion of long cherished Asian values. One study showed how even respect to classroom teachers or instructors suffered. Case in point: students usually send text messages to their classroom instructors explaining why they are absent or late from class or inquiring about assignments. Worse they end their messages usually with

“CU” instead of “SEE YOU”, showing familiarity bordering on disrespect. It becomes worse when the teacher texts back: “CU too. Ty”! ( Hahaha! ) They found that the use of SMS changed Indonesian youth’s language habit impacting on the change of politeness in Indon culture. ON EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIRS -- Two Filipino communications researchers (Chadwick Co Sy Su and Joeven R. Castro) presented a report entitled “Of women muting women and men getting away scot-free: extra-relational affairs and their depictions in recent Philippine mainstream cinema”. One of their findings is that there is now a resurgence of sexually charged films in Filipino cinema. They reported about their study of three recent popular movies that dealt with alluring mistresses, the suffering but forthright wives and the philandering husbands. They saw a pattern of women in extra-relational affairs (a.k.a. mistresses) portrayed as strong but dependent

and usually are at a losing end and the inequitable sharing of the burden favoring the males; hyper sexuality is noted in the “subsequent partner” and women tend to “mute” their own kind: women. One of the findings being that media today still reinforces the inequities of the status quo. CELEBRIT Y CANDIDATES -- A Jesuit researcher from Sri Lanka ,Theodore Fernando, did a report on women celebrities in Sri Lanka getting elected during elections just cashing in on their popular status or as widows or daughters of dead politicians. His paper was entitled “Media Portrayal of Sri Lankan Women Celebrities in the Political Sphere”. He found that grieving widows or bereaved daughters of known assassinated politicians draw votes better than others not similarly situated. He also found in his research that actors or actresses try to re-invent themselves when they run for public office, changing their attires or manner of speaking

or downplaying previous nudity and controversial issues of their past. PHIL RH LAW ---There were other interesting topics including Manila-based Jim Duran who did a research on the media issues surrounding the approval of the Reproductive Health law and the way forward considering that those opposed to the RH law, like the predominant Catholic Church are still opposing the law and monitoring closely its implementation. ON RUSSIAN WOMEN --- A former Soviet citizen of USSR but now an educator in the US, Prof. Elise Kiregian of the TCI College of Technology did a paper on how Russian women had broken through difficult barriers of gender issues and had shown great progress in business. Although admitting that the level of women participation in politics in Russia is still wanting, the fact that Russian women are now making waves in the financial and business fields augers well for the future. Prof.

Elise briefly talked about how she was made to start literally from scratch when she migrated to the US to start a new life -- leaving behind in Russia her advanced studies and credentials and papers. She recalled that while at the border on her way out of Russia, she was made to make a choice, the Russian immigration officer telling her when she insisted on bringing along her papers and credentials that were work of a lifetime: “Take that door (out) or your credentials.” She chose the door to freedom , without looking back. She is now an accomplished communications educator in the US. The rest is history. D r. A z m a n A z w a n Azmawati, ACMC head did a paper on women and gender issues. She is the deputy dean of the School of Communication of the Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang. University of the Philippines Rachel Khan was the principal organizer of the event.

Education is significant to man By Mary Jean Balungcas Pingkian Lazara Delos Santos Memorial School Digson, Bonifacio, Misamis Occidental

Education is an essential matter to man’s life. Through learning, he will know the world around him and he acquire answers to his questions. In the absence of Education, one may fail to put good control over his intellect an. For one, everything that resulted to success or a mess is a result of one’s actions which is, of course, his thinking made him to do so. Having an education is similar to taking water; once one gulps more water, his thirst would be easily healed. Similarly, it is not just actually what people learned from four classroom corners but on their everyday encounters. Each encounter will bring new learning, filling his thirst

of knowledge. Education is also a beneficial thing to man as a good guiding light in tracing “real life.” The lessons learned from school are big help in getting a job. In addition, being schooled will make a person think better, understand critical situations and achieve smart decisions. These are surely additional points during a job interview, attracting company employers. Education is not just actually what a student learns from school, but on their everyday experience. Life without learning is a life that seeks no improvement. As the same, the world sans Education is a world that seeks no improvement at all.

Effective Teaching Strategies for Modern Minds By Gina Raganas Simene, Ph.D. Teacher - III Lugait National High School

The application of modernism is good. It means making good use of the current trend and coping up with minds and trends of this era. Teaching is an act that aims to provide understanding and shared meanings. Educating students in this generation is a challenging task, more that modernization comes at hand. Thus, there is no bad for teaching methods in joining the cycle. There are various meth-

ods most educators used in discussions. Multimedia presentation is one. This form uses applications coming from modern gadgets. Example of this form are slideshows, videos or movies and PowerPoint presentation, a tool useful for jazzing up school presentations. Multimedia presentation is effective in classes because of its viewing effects, audio and attracting colors that entice listeners to be attentive in the class.

Internet or software exploration is also useful. There are a lot of students who already have gadgets. Teachers can use this form in her lessons, for example, on reading comprehensions. He can provide sites for the students to access and explore for more or less an hour, before giving out small discussions and quizzes. In line to this, there are also schools that conducts exam online through a use of software. To many, this is called “paperless” quizzes and also effective to prevent cheating. These teaching strategies

K to 12: In the aim to produce prepared human resources By Glorivel G. Tac-an Master Teacher I Panaon Central School Panaon District Panaon, Misamis Occidental

Implemented under President Benigno Aquino’s administration, K+12 Basic Education Program is a newly-emerged system in the Philippines. It is to improve country’s educational system and produce high-quality graduates. This program is muchneeded change for the country’s educational system for it will produce bettertrained human resources who could be globally competitive. In K to 12, students will be able to get sufficient instructional time to do subject-related tasks which makes them more prepared and well- trained on a sub-

Historians surmised that the Sino-Japanese conflict in Marco Polo on July 7, 1937 must have started WWII. Two years later, on September 1, 1939, Germany invaded

ject area. The period that would cover this new educational system is longer than the older one. For this reason, there would be enough time to go beyond specifics on every subjects taken and thus, giving students a more clearer understanding on a particular subject matter. This program could also provide graduates that are more prepared to enter the labor force. K to 12 consist of technological and vocational education that are teaching subjects, equipping students with skills that are needed in most workplace. Thus, once a K to 12 student graduates, he can be employed even without college degree. Several media reports stated that businesses and academe backed K to 12. It is because the additional years of schooling are seen to

have a positive impact on wages and the economy’s annual GDP growth. Moreover, benefits of the reform measure include the enhancement of the education system, production of “college-ready” students, career-ready students by the end of their schooling, producing globally competitive graduates, an increased demand for quality faculty, lower unemployment rate and higher wages; and overall economic growth and social inclusion. The implementation K to 12 education is for the purpose of heightening the education system of the Philippines. Through it, Filipino graduates can be competitive in the global business arena, and contribute more success towards nation-building.

Thus, the incident has blown into a worldwide conflict where the allies regroup to repeal the then Axis Power comprising Germany, Japan, and Italy. Undoubtedly, a glimpse of the Sino-Japan conflict, would lead us to conclude that it was the aggression of Japan in a bid to expand its territory in China that triggered the SinoJapan conflict that would later

on spread to the Asia-Pacific Region. What is, therefore, the relevance of the South China Sea issue today to the Sino-Japan conflict 77 years ago? While President Xi’s expressed his vision of the “Pacific Dream” under the auspices of peace and development, optimism still runs high among the many who see the South China Sea as a flash point in Asia. Whether this apprehension has flesh, let us expose its bones in the next issue.

Mayor, 2 others face raps in Ombudsman-Mindanao Before the complaint was filed to the Ombudsman, the same complaints were addressed to the office of Atty. Leila M. De Lima, secretary of Department of Justice. Thus, De Lima had ordered the National Bureau of Investigation to conduct a thorough probe based on the complaint. Cebedo who is now on the third term as executive

officer of the town, did not respond to the Mindanao Daily News (MDN) call and mobile text messages since last week. The MDN also tried to email the mayor, but until today she did not respond to the issue. But before this complaint was filed, the town mayor earlier said that this is just political harassment.

A complaint sent to De Lima said: “These projects did not follow the proper bidding requirement and some of the materials used were almost recycled materials opposite to what was indicated in the program of works.” Among the projects that are subject for the investigation include the Labhanan Ng Bayan, Construction of Cov-

ered Court in all Barangays, Construction of By-Pass Roads of Poblacion, Construction of Bitaug Bridge, Construction of Public Abattoir, Solar Pump Irrigation Project, and Construction of National Child Development Center.

2014 pinned by Roland A. Rey, regional director of COA-Caraga, said that seven of the covered court had been inspected. One of these covered court in Barangay Payapag did not meet the approved plans and specification. “It was observed that the end portion of every truss beyond the roof beam were made of an angle bar instead of a channel bar, hence, does not conform with the approved plans and specification,” inspection report said. Atty. Mario F. Sison, regional director of National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Caraga, told Mindanao Daily News that aside from this cases, there will be another cases which will be filed against the town mayor soon. “There will be a flurry of cases which we will be filing against the Cebedo,” Sison said.

sheer number of the applications, compounded by the board’s undermanned staff, the Board may not be able to accomplish its duties within the period prescribed by law,” Pimentel told colleagues during his sponsorship speech. “So as not to duly prejudice our aggrieved countrymen for whom RA 10368 was primarily enacted, and to accord the HRVCB sufficient period to discharge its statutory duty, the HRVCB should be allowed to extend the period to accept human rights victims’ claims for another six months from November 10, 2014 or until May 11, 2015,” he added. According to the Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates (PAHRA), a coalition of human rights groups, theHRVCBhad received only around 29,000 claims as of October this year. PAHRA chairman Max de Mesa said the board expected about 55,000 to 90,000 more applications to be processed. “There are, in fact, more than 7,000 undocumented human rights victims from the cursory research conducted by our group, apart from the more than 9,000 Hawaii class suit claimants, De Mesa said. “The extension, more than the filing of claim, ensures that all human rights victims will be given access to a means of gaining redress for the sufferings and sacrifices that they endured during the Martial Law,” he added. Pimentel, whose father, former Senate PresidentAquilino “Nene” Pimentel, Jr. was jailed for opposing former President Ferdinand Marcos during the martial law era, said in a radio interview early November that martial law victims could continue to file their claims for compensation once Senate Joint Resolution 10 and its counterpart, House Joint Resolution 16 would be enacted into law. Akbayan party-list Rep. Ibarra Gutierrez, one of the authors of House Joint Resolution No. 16, said the resolution would have

a retroactive effect. The House of Representatives had passed Joint Resolution 16 on final reading before Congress adjourned last October. Pimentel said he already asked the HRVCB to continue accepting claims even after the filing period as prescribed under the Human Rights Victims Reparation and Recognition Act of 2013 had elapsed. “I asked the Board to continue receiving claims. We will approve the resolution by mid-November that would give chance to all human rights victims to file their claims for another six months,” Pimentel said. Meanwhile, the Senate also passed on third and final reading a bill which seeks to include the ethnic origin in the national survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority. Senator Loren Legarda, who authored and sponsored Senate Bill No. 2426 or the Ethic Origin Act of 2014, said the government had no adequate information on the population of the different ethnic groups in the Philippines. “The population data on the indigenous peoples (IPs) and indigenous cultural communities (ICCs) vary depending on the group handling the research or using the data. This reality compels us even more to obtain the accurate data. The Episcopal Commission on Tribal Filipinos (ECTF) estimates our IP/ICC population to be between 6.5 and 7.5 million, while the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates it to between 12 and 15 million. This reality compels us even more to obtain the accurate data,” Legarda said in her sponsorship speech. Under the proposed measure, she said, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), in coordination with the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), would employ enumerators or deploy NCIP employees to gather data on Ethnic Origin during the conduct of the national survey and national census. Such information, Legarda said, would contribute to the effective implementation

After the initial stages of research and development comes the mass production of food products using principles of food technology,” Escudero said. As defined under the bill, food technology is the study of food industry issues and the research and solutions to these issues. It involves public interest as it deals with the health, comfort and safety of the public. The bill seeks to establish a Board of Food Technology under the supervision of the PRC, which should conduct licensure examinations for the practice of food technology. Escudero, Vice-Chairperson of the House Committees on Cooperatives Development and Higher and Technical Education, said no person should practice food technology without satisfactorily passing the licensure examination given by PRC. The bill also provides reciprocity with foreign governments to enable foreigners to practice food technology in the Philippines if the country of which they are subject or national offers the same privilege to Filipino food technologists. Escudero said food technologist must work together with the food industry and those in the regulatory and public policy communities. “With science and technology solutions available to address specific issues throughout the food system, our ability to feed a growing population in a sustainable way is very promising. However, we must remain steadfast and rational about our approach to help humanity, by regulating the practice of food technology in the country,” Escudero stressed. Escudero said the proposed “Food Technology Act,” in consonance with Section 12, Article XIII of the 1987 Constitution which provides that the State shall establish and maintain an effective food and drug regulatory system and un-

government granting partial and full scholarship to poor but deserving students in the region. Now on its 2nd phase of implementation, the scholarship program has provided educational assistance to more than a thousand top qualifiers who passed the screening process. T h e s c h o l a r s w e nt through rigid and transparent examinations and a panel interview overseen by Sangcopan, Deputy Chief Assistant Secretary Numeiry Jalani, and representatives from partner agencies like the Commission on Higher Education. Sangcopan urged the scholars to do their best in their studies. “Parallel with the privilege is your responsibility to maintain your grades eligible for the scholarship.” Around 11,000 aspirants were screened for the Iskolar program in the five component provinces of ARMM this year. John Mokudef, 19, of the indigenous tribe Teduray is studying BS Agriculture at the Upi Agricultural School in Upi, Maguindanao. He expressed gratitude for the scholarship granted by the working ARMM government, which he said has provided him the opportunity to continue his education despite the financial constraint faced by

his family. “The Iskolar program is a big help for our family and to me personally. I can continue my college for free. In fact, I share some of my allowance with my other brothers who are also in school,” he said. John’s family solely depends on farming as primary source of income. He’s the fifth child in a brood of seven. Al Rashid Balabagan, 18, son of a widow and a 2nd year education student at the Cotabato City State Polytechnic College urged his fellow scholars to continue banking on their dreams and to never waste the given opportunity. “We are very much privileged for being chosen out of the thousands who applied. We have to prove that we deserve this,” he said. Al Rashid also conveyed his message for those who weren’t able to make it on the list. “Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa, take lang ng take, ituloy lang paghanap ng oportunidad para makapagaral para sa sariling kinabukasan.” (Bureau of Public Information-ARMM/APB/ PIA-10)

soliciting ideas from the school principals which can help enhance program policies of Pantawid Pamilya. Also, considering that there are beneficiaries who failed to finish secondary education and are now outof-school youth, the program seeks to cover children aged 15 to 18 years old who are undergoing formation under the Alternative Learning System of the DepEd. “We hope that with the principals’ cooperation, DSWD can increase the employability of our clients in the future,” added Solamillo. For the past five years, DepEd has been very supportive to DSWD in the implementation of the Pantawid Pamilya. Pantawid Pamilya is the conditional cash transfer (CCT) of the national government. CCT programs were first demonstrated successful in Latin American countries two decades ago.

ATARMAN, Camiguin - Atleast, 22 Persons with Disability (PWDs) in the Province of Camiguin were recipients of a livelihood assistance from the Department of Labor and Employment-X’s (DOLE10) Integrated Livelihood and Emergency Employment Program (DILEEP). Funds for their mini grocer y project was turned-over last July. The Local Government Unit of Catarman, through the initiative of mayor Nestor A. Jacot, acting as conduit initiat-

Labial on October 21, 2014. Among the visited projects was the mini grocery of the PWDs located at Poblacion, Catarman. With the presence of Axel M. Salisi, president of the Persons with Exceptional Reserved Skills Association (PWERSA). The said monitoring made the ac-

tivity easier for the team. The activity counterchecked its full operation on their approved DILEEP looking primarily its sustained operation. DILEEP is the department’s contribution to the government’s agenda of inclusive growth through massive job generation and poverty reduction by giving employment opportunities and livelihood undertakings to the disadvantaged workers and beneficiaries from informal sectors. PWDs is one of the vulnerable groups in the

For him, these wonderfully created individuals are ever yone’s inspiration because of the success on their endeavors inspite of their challenges. Further, DILEEP gave them opportunity to shine and serve as light to others. (Glenford C. Labial/DOLE-Camiguin)

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SECURE & INSECURE PEOPLE http://www.chinkeetan.com/

TAN by CHINKEE

One thing that I cannot stand are insecure people. I must admit, I considered myself was one of the most insecure person in the world. That was the reason why I cannot even stand myself before. Have you met people who are insecure? How would know that if a person is insecure? So allow me to share with you my personal struggles with insecurity and how a person feel when he/ she is insecure. Insecure people feel bad when others succeed while secure people feel inspired when others succeed. Insecure people are focus on what others have while secure people are focus on what they have. Insecure people are ungrateful people while secure people grateful & thankful people. Insecure people are often cranky and lonely while secure people are often jolly and happy. Insecure people often talk about their achievements and build themselves up

while secure people rarely talk about their achievements build others up. Insecure people take credit from other peoples effort while secure people give credit to others where it is due. Insecure people have the tendency to say negative things about others while secure people often have good things to say about others. Insecure people live discontented and miserable lives while secure people live happy and contented life. I really thank God that He removed my insecurities away. Am I totally out of it? Not at all! This is a daily battle that all of us need to face. We just need to be conscious or aware if you have it, struggling with it or denying it. At the end of the day, we do not want to live discontented and miserable lives. Ask for help. Talk to people on how you can improve. Ask God to give you the grace to overcome it. As He also has given me the grace to be victorious over it. THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Do you think you have or still have insecurities in your life? What is your plan in order for you to improve? Have you ever confessed and ask God to forgive and give you the grace to overcome it?

‘Ya Hindi No’ Hot New Yano Album ( Part 1 of 3)

O

n September 6, the 12 songs in the newest album from YANO entitled ‘YA HINDI NO’ is finally out after recording began in mid – April this year. The album was launched in the recently successful P FEST UK in London on September 27 and 28. The recording came from scratch in lyrics and melody. And from scratch, the pace was quite fast of 1 song composed and recorded and initially mastered in 1 week, and another song after another week per week thereafter. 4 songs were roughly ‘sketched’ in Dubai in March this year when the band had a series of bar concerts there. The first song recorded was ‘Sanggol’ and the album was supposed to end at 10 songs with ‘Rurok’. But there was quite a feeling of lack in the whole sense of the album. Hence, ‘Yan O’ and ‘Tingin’ were added to make it 12. The album gained great feedback. They said, ‘This is a great album’, and ‘Nice lyrics and melody, and originality of music’. Among their immediate favorites are ‘Bago’, ‘Ya Hindi No’, ‘Paulit – ulit’,’Ikaw’, ‘Isip’ and ‘Ulap’. They also remarked the resemblance and consistency of music from the 1st Yano self-titled album. Here then are the songs from the album: 1. Bago – / kelangang magbago ng isipan / nais ko na ang lahat ay gumaan / ginhawa, kabutihan at mayaman / wala na’ng iyakan at talunan // ref: wala na’ng malawakang kawalan / lubos ang kasiyahan / wala na’ng sama ng loob / di magmamaliw ang pagmamahalan // cho: bago na’ng takbo ng buhay / nag – Iba na ng kulay / bago na’ng pananaw sa buhay / ang saya ay walang kasing – kulay / It speaks of a deliberate turnaround of mindset towards the more prospective consciousness from the usual, if not rampant, defeatist frame of mind. It is also the deliberate embrace to happiness as ‘a constant state of mind, no matter how circumstances

opposite – being more adept to being outwardly (unselfish) in order to gain inwardly. While it appears to be more ‘real’ and ‘benefiting to all’ – by being more adept inwardly (selfish) in order to gain outwardly. Hence, the song inspects the experience in one’s relationship to the self. And most important of all assures that in the end, all is a brighter and better realization from the appreciation of the good. Then the reflection of the outside in terms of events, people and circumstances will definitely mirror what was defined or redefined in the inside in the first place.

arise.’ Then only after such can doing prosperity follow and everything that comes into oneself with it. It is also the declaration and appreciation of what is good in one’s mind that only in such way all greater possibilities are seen that were just within all minds and yet unexploited to the fullest.

total, is the immediate result. There is confidence in all subjects: Math, English, Science, Physics, Filipino, Sports, in all subjects and personal relations, character, creations and leadership traits. IF THERE ARE MUCH MORE GREATER MINDS, THERE WILL BE A MUCH MORE GREATER NATION.

2. Ya Hindi No – / cho: ya hindi no / sa lahat ng bagay gabay ito / ya hindi no / ang buhay ay gabay nito // mas iingay ang kabutihan / mas magagaling ang isipan / mas mayaman ang bayan / taglay ang ya kesa sa no / ‘Ya’, being ‘yes’, if dominant in one’s mind, can dominate the body, and can eventually dominate a nation in due time. Then ‘no’, being the negative, becomes less and less in the mind and in everything in the individual and eventually the nation. This song carries that idea significantly, beginning with the child. That if there is no more scolding, but only guiding and teaching, the mind expands rather than contracts. Undeniably, greater self – esteem and confidence, if not

3. Isip – / minsa’y isipa’y nawawala / ngayong ako’y nag – iisa / nawala ang dating sigla / ng ating pagsasama / nais ko ma’y kasama ka / pinipigilan ng iba / ipaglalaban ka / hanggang sa dulo ng hininga // cho: ang tanging gawin pa rin / ay ang ating pinakamabuti / tiwala sa pagpupunyagi / ang huli ay magiging mabuti / sa bawat sandal kaligayahan nati’y di mapapawi / magsasama tayo / ang lahat ay laging mabuti / This song is a love song at first glance, especially if the title is ignored first. In the end it becomes a love song to the self, the most difficult to do at most times. We are not quite keen about our relations to others. How much more are we keen with our relation to self? Yet we practice what is the

4. Yan O – / sino man ang me kaligayan / ako na yan / tayo na yan o / sino man ang me tawanan / ako na yan / tayo na yan o / sino man ang me kagalingan / ako na rin yan / tayo rin yan o / sino man ang me kadalubhasaan / ako na rin yan / tayo rin yan // ref: nanjan na yan noon pa man / noon pa man nanjan na yan / maliit ka pa lang alam mo na yan / na isinilang kang ganyan / sa sinapupunan pa lang // cho: yan na yan / ang takbo ng iyong isipan / yan ganyan ang manguna sa lahat sa kabutihan / ganyan na ganyan ang pagpalawak sa lahat ng isipan / yan na yan uuwi ang lahat saan man sa kayanu – yanuhan mo / The achievement of the Filipino is unquestionable in any aspect and avenue worldwide. And when we listen to how they speak even in humility, these are words that come out naturally. It’s their and our belief system as Filipinos. We know that, everybody in the world knows that. This song bloats this belief system in the open. However humble, it is a humility that rests in this reality about the Filipino. And in the end, everyone everywhere will return to the epitome and happiness of the Filipino as put in the concluding line in the song ‘uuwi ang lahat saan man sa kayanuyanuhan mo.’

The notebook SOMEWHERE in Tawi-tawi, a seven-year-old kid clutches a very worn-out notebook in hand. The kid’s mother who’s in her mid-20s says that she was the original user of the notebook when she graduated in high school almost ten years ago. All the lessons written in pencil were erased so the notebook would be used by her son who’s now entering first grade. This situation highlights the grim vast gap between the poorest of the poor and the average Filipino. Here in the city, we already tend to discard our notebooks and even papers that have already been used to record documents. We already use cellphones, tablets and desktops in our day-to-day lives that we ignore notepads

and papers lying around. But in highly remote communities, kids badly need them so they can be literate. Whereas here in the city we doodle and write often nonsensical things on paper, they in the provinces need

It is in this premise that ROTA (Rebirth Outdoor Trekkers and Adventurers Philippines, Inc.) in their capacity as mountaineers reach out to the most remote barangays in Bukidnon just to distribute school kits for children there. ROTA members have to endure walking for hours on steep trails traversing almost a dozen streams just to reach their destination. Intavas Elementary School in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon is one such example. Whatever they have gathered in the city, ROTA members hand out their school goodies to the kids there just to encourage them to stay in school. And they were successful.

You cannot shirk your responsibilities because others are depending on you now to tell them what you think.

While Talents and Quiguer choose to immerse in the community, indie filmmaker Nef Luczon of Davao and Cagayan de Oro choose to expose the day-to-day lives of a Tigwahanon-Manobo tribe in Bukidnon. Through his indie film Migkahi e si Amey te, uli Ki Pad which was screened at GMA’s Cine Totoo last September, Luczon was able to document the joys, the struggles of a dying cultural heritage. Luczon’s buddy Rhyan Casiño went a step further by having himself tattooed the Tigwahanon way – the panggutob. A panggutob is a series of skin markings rich with meanings about the Tigwahanon culture.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You work best when you have a detailed plan that you can execute without deviation; however, your flexibility is warranted today if circumstances shift without warning.Infact,yourwillingnesstorespondtounexpectedschedule changes may alleviate the tension before it grows into a crisis. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - A disagreement about work ethics or core values might have you throwing your hands up in the air today because you don’t know which side to support. Unfortunately, you’re still learning about the current dynamics and there’s no easy way to untangle the facts. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Fantasies may assume a significant role in your life now, yet your illusions could come crashing down to earth before the day is done. It’s wise to be proactive and channel your desires into productivity instead of focusing on your dreams. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - You are standing at a turning point and the circumstances that were holding you back just last week now begin to fade into the past. Your enthusiasm is on the rise but it’s not realistic to think that everything will automatically shift overnight. CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - You are truly a force to be reckoned with today as your ruling planet Saturn is illuminated by the radiant Sun. You must singularly apply yourself to the tasks at hand or you could be pulled off course by an enticing invitation from your friends.

or being No. 9 nationwide in the roster of licensure examination for teachers (LET) taken last August, 21-yearold Barbilou Labial received P30,000 from her alma mater COC-Phinma. According to CO CPhinma marketing officer Royce Arellano, this has been a practice of the educational institution for any alumni who excel in their respective licensure examinations. Labial took the half-day exam here in Cagayan de Oro City last August 17 along with 148,588 other hopefuls spread in hundreds of testing centers all over the country. Of that number, only 52,068 passed. Labial was among the nine passers who shared the same percentage score – 87.60 percent – to rank ninth nationwide. So how did she do it? “Nothing. I did not expect to be one of the topnotchers. I just had the proper training from school. I was very diligent during the review. I had whole support from teachers, friends and family alike,” Labial quipped during this interview. After graduating as a dean’s lister in March this year, Labial immediately went to review mode. But the road to being a topnotcher started as early as during her elementary years

when Labial was the school valedictorian at Cogon Elementary School in Balingasag, Misamis Orintal. When she graduated from Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School (Mogchs) in 2010, Labial was a first honorable mention. It was there and then that she decided to enroll at COC-Phinma. Anchored on giving quality but affordable education, COC-Phinma gave Labial and the whole Education population in the campus the best only the Phinma Education Network can give. It has also been the principle of COC-Phinma for its graduates to gain employability. With preparing for their students’ bright future in mind, COC-Phinma strives its alumni to be competitive not just here in the Philippines but in the global market while at the same time, empowering their families to live a life that matters. That’s what happened to Labial. Employability? Labial is now a part-time faculty at her alma mater, COC-Phinma. Empowering the families of the students? Labial’s sister is now following her footsteps as an Education student of the institution. On a footnote, Labial’s dad Felipe and mom Maria Regina happily posed with their proud daughter while receiving the P30,000 check.
