DOH: No MERS-CoV in Cagayan de Oro City Joint security center in North Mindanao revived

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City--Health authorities in this seaport c apita l on Thursday allayed the fears about the presence of a “MERS CoV” patient here.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus or (MERS CoV), a contagious ailment, is a Saudi Arabia virus, first diagnosed in 2012. It is believed that the virus came from animals. Dr. David Mendoza, of the regional health department who tracked communicable diseases, has denied the presence of a “MERS CoV” patient, although a thorough examination is now being conducted on the suspected patient. Mendoza said that the patient is now confined in one of the isolation wards in Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC), a government hospital, equipped with medical facilities and highly trained personnel capable of treating highly communicable diseases. He said that an initial probe into the patient’s medical history disclosed that the patient arrived in Cagayan De Oro in December, but was confined only See doh, page A11

been diagnosed to have pulmonary tuberculosis based on the X-ray. Misamis Oriental Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano has expressed alarm over the report saying the NMMC is very near to the provincial capitol and malls. Emano said a MERSCoV patient should not See patient, page A11

‘The Proficiency Level of Grade 7 Students on the Fundamental Operations on Integers’ By EVANGELINE M. PAILMAO SST-I, Bulua National High School

In high school mathematics, Algebra is one of its foundation subjects for them to be prepared in higher mathematics. The topic on integers is one of the basic problems of students as experienced by teachers. As observed, students had difficulty in mastering the basic operations on integers. This is also true to the experiences of my coteachers in Mathematics. Based on the interview conducted, they really had encountered problems in teaching the subject because students had lack of mastery on the basic skills on the fundamental operations in integers. Students have a superficial or if not incomplete understanding of how to perform the different operations on integers. As a result, students experienced difficulty in other topics which needs the prerequisite understanding on integers. Most teachers in the upper level mathematics complained of the lack

of mastery on these topics which are supposed to be mastered in the Grade 7 mathematics. While the onset of the K-12 curriculum, where students are taught in the spiral progression that is they are given sufficient time to master the basic concepts and skills in mathematics, it is deemed important that students need to master the topic on operation on integers for them to be well-prepared for the next level mathematics. Thus, the result of this study will be utilized to come up an intervention plan that will help increase the proficiency level of Grade 7 Students on integers. The purpose of this study was to determine the proficiency level of the Grade 7 students on the fundamental operation on integers. The study adopted the descriptive design of research to determine the level of proficiency and to examine if there is a significant relationship of the test scores of the students

on the basic operations on integers. The topics included in the test are the basic operations, namely: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers. The data used in this study were the test results on the test conducted by their Mathematics teacher. The findings revealed that students have achieved the approaching proficiency level on addition, multiplication, and division of integers. They have achieved the developing level on subtraction of integers; and achieved approaching proficiency level on the overall test on integers. Moreover, there is a high correlation, a significant relationship existed between the students’ test scores on addition and subtraction, addition and multiplication, addition and division, subtraction and multiplication, and multiplication and division; while, there is a moderate correlation between the students’ test scores on subtraction and division.

Who will garner the YouthVote in CDO? Mindanao Daily NEWS northmin . westmin . caraga . davao

“OUR elected officials are able to regulate even the most personal aspects of our lives, from the cleanliness of the air we breathe to the identity of the people we marry. Keeping this in mind, casting a ballot is not just essential - it’s practical!” -Maria Rubio, Brooklyn College Ms. Rubio, an activistreformist and student representative of Brooklyn College Student Government was very straightforward when she mentioned that political decisions, ordinances and public policies implemented by the people we elect into public office, can make or break the lives of their constituents. The Data According to the 2010 Census Data, Cagayan de Oro City has a total population of 602,088 and half of its population belong to the age group of 24.2 years old and below. The data available is enough to conclude that half of the number of people living in Cagayan de Oro are young residents. The PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority) Census data also says that, “Persons aged 15 to 19 years (10.8 percent) comprised the largest age group” in Cagayan de Oro City. The third most significant result we can conclude from the data, according to the PSA is that “The voting-age

population (18 years and over) accounted for 63.2 percent of the household population of the city in 2010, up from 58.4 percent in 2000.” As of the moment of this writing, I have commissioned a survey to narrow down and identify the population of age group 15-35 years old, which is the United Nations official definition of Persons that belong to the “Youth” category. That information can help us define future articles for youth. The Youth Consequently, what the data says is very relevant to all political candidates running for this year’s elections because it is proof that now we know that a huge portion of CDO’s population are coming from the youth. Do not wonder why I want to make an emphasis on data because there is still a huge portion of leaders in different areas of the Philippines that continue to neglect their duty of properly understanding the profiles of their constituents, specifically their needs, issues and challenges. This evidence is enough for candidates to take into consideration the needs and concerns of this growing age group and how the Local Government can be a partner in providing more opportunities for growth and development in the city, especially for its young

constituency. Again, because we have established that we the youth, comprise a significant portion of residents in the City, we as a youth sector must be relevant in the eyes of our leaders. Our needs must be addressed by the city, particularly by its political leaders. Political Leaders have the power, the influence and the trust and confidence of the people to create a better city. It is their mandated duty engraved in their iron throne. Kagay-anon youth are very promising. Ernesto Baconga Neri, a Xavier University Youth Leader tells us that the Kagay-anon youth are “engaged and participative”. He continues that “In Cagayan de Oro, the youth has a high level of societal consciousness,”. But Maria Rivera, a Development Communicatons Professor says otherwise that CDO youth are becoming complacent and to quote her statement in a social-media website article, “there is too much complacency among the youth. Saan ba dapat manggaling ang hugot para umaksyon tayo?”. It means that though youth have a high level of awareness when it comes to problems and issues faced by the city of Cagayan de Oro, participation in the processes to help resolve the City’s concerns is absent from most of our youth, especially

If we want to change ourselves and our country for the better, we, as believers of God who fear and love Him truthfully and sincerely, must now insist to ask candidates if they even have any plan to pursue spirituality and righteousness if they get elected, and, if possible, to ask them to write down and sign this plan and its specifics, so we

in the democratic political process. These young leaders imply that the ability to participate in the processes to help resolve and address the City’s concerns is absent from most of our youth, especially in the areas of the democratic and political process. Again, another this is another issue that must be resolved. We must have a youth leader, a total representative of the Youth of the City. The absence of the SK has left a significant gap in the political process especially in determining the windows of opportunity of our youth in the City. Nevertheless, we emphasize the need for a Leader who can take into consideration the needs of those next in line to govern and live in this City. Now is the time to look into the long-run. We need a leader who can put into his personal and political agenda the needs of our Young Kagay-anons. There is no need to explain this. Who else will propel this city and make it a City of the Future but the next generation? I am talking about us, the youth who toil day and night with their studies, the youth who hardly make ends meet in this city. Who is caring for the youth? Our parents who

agenda on God, or on how to strengthen the spirituality and righteousness of our people, are we not violating the doctrine of the separation of Church and State? Well, this query is not new, and, in fact, had already been explained in the past by a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Artemio Panganiban. As we said in our past items here: “Indeed, as former Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban so ably pointed out, there is no separation of the Philippines, as a state, from God even if in its Constitution it has decreed a separation of the church and state. -oooPUSHING SPIRITUALITY DOES NOT VIOLATE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE: “Basically, Panganiban is saying that the Philippines as a state See batas, page A11

Cagayan de Oro Chinese New Year Heritage Feature:

La Casa del Chino Ygua, the oldest house in Cagayan de Oro By Mike Baños

At the corner of Don Apolinar Velez and Archbishop Santiago Hayes streets stands an unimposing two story brick building which has withstood ravages of time, the Philippine Revolution, the Filipino-American War, and World War II. It’s perhaps unfortunate how today, despite the quantum gains made by modern communications, few of Cagayan de Oro City’s growing populace are aware it’s now the city’s oldest surviving residence and has quite a history behind it. Known to local history buffs as La Casa del Chino Ygua*, it has been recognized as a historically significant structure by the National Historical Institute of the Philippines, as confirmed by the NHI marker installed there in April 7, 2000, the Centennial of the Battle of Cagayan, also known as Siete de Abril. According to local historian Antonio Julian Roa Montalvan II, the house was built by Sia Ygua, a resident of Amoy (present day Xiamen) a city in the province of Fukien (now Fujian). Ygua is recorded as the earliest Chinese to have settled in Cagayan. While Amoy was an exit port, most of the Chinese who migrated outside the region came from the Yueyang and Fujian but Ygua was really a native of Amoy. (Montalvan, 2004) In a manuscript transcribed from Sia family records by Johnson L. Sia, a 4th generation descendant

of Ygua, he writes how his great grandfather arrived in Cagayan de Misamis (as Cagayan de Oro was then known) in 1854 and opened his business in 1857. Named “Tong Joo” after his second son, it was a typical trading post that dealt in indigenous products like copra, tobacco, abaca and the like. The business prospered and soon expanded to the nearby towns. In time it became one of the largest business establishments in the area (Sia, 2004) According to a short account of the house written by the late Fr. Francisco Demetrio, S.J. in his publication Cagayan (1971), Ygua became friends with the Recollect priests of the nearby San Agustin church. Due to his industry, and the help given him by the fathers, he gradually amassed a fortune. Like most Chinese who settled in Cagayan, he took active part in civic and public life. He was known for his good heartedness. It is said that when he died, practically everyone in Cagayan wore black in mourning (Demetrio, 1971). Ygua built his residence in 1882 at a time when the running conflicts between Moros in Sulu and Cotabato and the Spanish regime in Mindanao and the Visayas was beginning to affect his business. To better secure himself and his trade, Ygua had his house built of sturdy brick and stone which were shipped from Amoy (along with the builders) by Chinese junks in two boatloads. The original house was

a two-storey structure constructed on an irregular shaped 2,000 square meter lot. It was located on the corner of what today is Archbishop Santiago Hayes (formerly Victoria) and Don Apolinar Velez (formerly Calle del Mar) streets, and extended all the way to Pabayo street. The house had a floor area of 600 square meters and was built of brick and stone. In addition, its posts, beams, floors, door, and window jambs were sourced from two large old Molave trees. Alternating planks of 1” x 8” Molave and Balayon wood were used for the floor, while the roof was also made of bricks and stone. (Sia, 2004). In his account Johnston L. Sia claims La Casa del China Ygua was the first brick house in town, but according to Fr. Demetrio, it was the second ‘balay nga bato’ (house of stone) in Cagayan, as houses made of brick and stone (which were status symbols then as they are now) were then known. “There were many houses of stone in old Cagayan, so we are not sure if the Sia house was the first. An old house in Burgos yielded 1800s adobe stones and bricks. In fact, nearby the Sia house, just across actually (the empty lot on the corner across it) used to be a big house of stone belonging to Consolacion Roa y Cases Abejuela,” Dr. Montalvan commented. “Barring any hard evidence, we should deviate from the qualifier See casa, page A11

DOST-ICTO urges public to be cautious in online transactions By Jasper Marie Oblina-Rucat

CAGAYAN de Oro City--The Information and Communications Technology Office of the Department of Science and Technology (DOSTICTO) through its Roadshow on Cybersecurity awareness in Cagayan de Oro City on 28 January 2016 urged the public to be more cautious in transacting online. According to Roland Javines Ong, territory manager and solutions consultant, FireEye Singapore Private Ltd., Asia-Pacific that there are lots of changes

in cyber-attacks nowadays that is why we must be agile, ready and adapting to changes. He said the new domain right now is Cyber space. In 1993, there were floppy viruses, in 1998, email viruses and internet worms, 2004 there were cyber espionage and cybercrime and in 2013, there were cybercrime, cyber espionage and cyber warfare. Ong said that we must have a unified defense against cyber-attacks, intelligence, technology and expertise. He said we must

be able to detect, prevent, analyze and resolve cyberattacks. Meanwhile, retired BGen Nicolas D Ojeda Jr., deputy executive director for Cybersecurity, ICT Office, said that cybersecurity is a national security concern that is why there is a creation of the National Cybersecurity Inter Agency Committee under Executive Order 189. Further, he said that all government agencies must house their websites to the government hosting facilities provided by the DOST-ICTO to be secured

and to separate personal email accounts from official government email accounts. Meanwhile, PCInsp Allan Cabanlong, chief of web services and cyber security division, IT Management Services of the Philippine National Police (PNP) said that crime too has evolved from physical to virtual means. The outcome is still the same however; the difference is that cyberspace is borderless. Cabanlong said that if an individual is online from 48-79 hours a week, chances See urges, page A11

DSWD employs 92 Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries Ninety-two (92) Pantawid Pamilya partner-beneficiaries are now employed at the various programs and projects of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga. The Regional Program Management Office of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program reported that most of the beneficiaries are hired as Social Welfare Assistants (SWA) for Pantawid Pamilya, Project Development Officers (PDO) for the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), and others are hired as enumerators for the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Alleviation (NHTSPR) or commonly known as Listahanan during the second round of family assessment. “This is the kind of empowerment that we wanted our beneficiaries to know. That they, like the many others are adept and have the capacities to improve their lives through selfhelp. Learning that their capacities are valiant could be one of the good things that may happen to them because this could also mean a good start for them to explore other opportunities that may come along their ways,” DSWD Caraga Regional Director Minda B. Brigoli said.

“This volume is good enough. But I will opt to believe that there are still more Pantawid Pamilya partnerbeneficiaries in the ground whose stories are not long enough will put a point in the limelight. Considering that we have schooled a total of 131 grantees for the Students Grants in Aid Program for Poverty Alleviation (SGPPA), and 2,011 grantees for the expandedSGPPA in partnership with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), we could have more teachers and engineers in the future whose humble beginnings are through the Pantawid Pamilya,” Brigoli added. “As per reports from the National Program Management Office of the Pantawid Pamilya, study show that the Program has been able to increase the income of the partner-beneficiaries and to move them closer to the minimum income level needed to transcend poverty. The report also said that per peso cash grant, the poverty gap is reduced by 61 centavos. To effectively help the poor close the poverty gap, investments should continue to be made in other complementary programs build human capital and generate jobs,” she cited. The jobs of the 92 employed Pantawid Pamilya partner-beneficiaries were

categorized to the following: Social Welfare Assistant, Project Development Officers, Municipal Link Officers, Community Empowerment Facilitators, Area Supervisors, Social Welfare Officers, Local Government Unit Link, Validators, Enumerators, Administrative Assistance, Case Workers, Financial Analysts, Encoders, and some were laborers

in Kalahi-CIDSS. “I am one of the lucky 92 partner-beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilya who are now working in DSWD Field Office Caraga. This opportunity helps me to aid the needs of my family and to encourage other beneficiaries that with trust, diligence, and harwork, good things can happen,” said Novel S. Dela Peña, a

Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries presently working as CVS Focal in Dinagat Islands. Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program also known as Pantawid Pamilya and formerly Ahon Pamilyang Pilipino, is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program of the Philippine government under the Department of Social

Welfare and Development. It aims to eradicate extreme poverty in the Philippines by investing in health and education particularly in ages 0–18. It is patterned on programs in other developing countries like Brazil (Bolsa Familia) and Mexico (Opurtonidades). ###(RYAN M. TAPAYAN/ Social Marketing Unit/ DSWD Field Office Caraga)

Pantawid Pamilya PIR underscores CY 2015 accomplishments Butuan City -- “Ikaw, ako, tayo ang pagbabago” is the theme of the Pantawid Pamilya Provincial Program Implementation Review (PIR)

held last January 21-22, 2016 at Dotties Place here. Attended by around 375 staff of Pantawid Pamilya, the event delivered its objectives

to present the accomplishment of the program for the year 2015, to identify issues and concerns in the implementation, and to create municipal

operations office (MOO) and provincial operations office (POO) plan for 2016. In her message, Assistant Regional Director for Opera-

ARDO Lim delivers her message to the participants of provincial PIR held last January 21, 2016 at Dotties Place, Butuan City.

tions Mita G. Lim, duly representing Regional Director Minda B. Brigoli, said that she has high hopes to Pantawid Pamilya personnel in delivering the services to its partner-beneficiaries. “Our staff in the ground have been working in the dusk of light to deliver the quality service we promised to our partner-beneficiaries. Some of you [Pantawid Pamilya field staff ] have crossed islands and hiked miles to conduct monthly Family Development Session (FDS),” Lim said. “Others walked for days to gather reports and settle irregularities. These scenarios have been your daily life. These somehow have blanketed your personal needs in exchange of making others’ lives improved and moved to self-sufficiency,” she added. Lim accompanied by Management Audit Analyst Ramil M. Taculod and Pantawid Pamilya Program Coordinator Crislea D. Celeste, expressed that she expects more quality outputs in the program operation for 2016. “We have seen an im-

provement in the lives of our partner-beneficiaries and we cannot afford not to sustain this. For 2016, we have to produce more quality outputs. Let us continue to be transparent to our mission,” she closed. For the timebeing, the Regional Program Management Office (RPMO) is designing the individual performance contract (IPC) of the field staff patterned to the latest demands of time. Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, also known as Pantawid Pamilya and formerly Ahon Pamilyang Pilipino, is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program of the Philippine government under the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

Biblical reflection

I will follow You, Lord T he G ospel of J e sus Christ (February6, 2016-Saturday) Mark 9:2-10” And He was transfigured before them; and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

from page A6 first.” The house is now not only the oldest surviving residence in Cagayan de Oro, but also holds an honored place in the country’s history. The NHI marker installed on its Hayes street side recounts how on January 10, 1899, patriotic Kagay-anons celebrated independence through a Fiesta Nacional as a sign of support for the Philippine revolutionary government headed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. They gathered in front of Ygua’s house, marched around the poblacion playing music, made speeches at the Casa Real (the governor’s residence), fired cannons and raised the Philippine Flag for only the second time in Mindanao. (Montalvan, 2002) On April 7, 1900, Filipino revolucionarios of the Mindanao Battalion led by Gen. Nicolas Capistrano attacked the American garrison of the 40th Infantry Regiment, U.S. Volunteers near present day Gaston Park in the Battle of Cagayan. However, they suffered many casualties (U.S. records show 52 Filipinos killed, Filipino archives say 200) and were eventually beaten back by the American’s superior firepower. (ibid.) The remains of many fatalities were buried in the backyard of Ygua’s house. To appease the souls and spare the inhabitants from being disturbed, Ygua turned their burial place into a temporary cockpit. The blood from the fighting cocks was believed to appease the restless souls. Until 1971, candles were lighted along the house in memory of the dead soldiers during All Souls Day. (Demetrio, 1971) When Sia Ygua passed away in Manila, his businesses were left to his managers. In time, two of his sons and a daughter came to the Philippines. The daughter, Sia Hong Moi, married a Manileño and stayed in the capital. The sons, Sia Simeon Velez and Sia Tong Joo, came to Cagayan de Misamis and eventually took over his businesses. In 1936, Sia Simeon Velez and Sia Tong Joo divided the family property, and the brick house came into the possession of Sia Tong Joo. Sia Tong Joo married Lu Oh O and has six children who stayed in Cagayan: three sons (Sia Bon Din, Sia Bon Suan and Sia Bon Hiok) and three daughters (Sia Pian Tin, Sia Chay Oan and Sia Chay Pin). They lived in the brick house, and even after the children had grown and had families of their own, the house remained as the center of family activities, being the venue for family gatherings and reunions during festivals like the Chinese New Year. The house suffered extensive damage during World War II. After the war, Sia Tong Joo renovated the house. Because of the shortage of materials, the roof had to be patched using nipa and the walls replaced

life? Do you feel heaviness and burdens within? Life is like climbing in a mountain that requires an extra efforts and energy. As a mountain climber, you need to double your desire, strength and determination for you to reach at the top of the mountain. This was done by the three Disciples of Christ who went to mount Tabor because Jesus brought them for a reason by talisayan wood. Through these measures the house was given a semblance of its former appearance. The first major renovation of the house was undertaken in 1948. The damaged bricks were replaced by cement while plywood and asbestos were used for the walls. The 1” x 8” planks were however so sturdy they remained intact. Sia Tong Joo left for China in 1948, but his wife and children remained in Cagayan. Eventually, the son Sia Bon Din left and engaged in business in Talakag, Bukidnon and his other son Sia Bon Hiok left for Hong Kong. Meanwhile, his three daughters got married and moved out as well. The house thus eventually passed on to Sia Bon Suan. Sia Bon Suan married Betty Lim Siok Oan, and had 13 children: six sons (William, Henry, John, Augustin, Benjamin and Peter) and seven daughters (Ana, Corazon, Mely, Mary, Helen, Teresita and Shirley). Sia Bon Suan and his wife passed away in 1981 and 1975, respectively, and in due time his properties were divided among his children. The brick house was passed on to his fifth son, Dr. Benjamin Sia. The house was renovated for the second time in 1993 by Dr. Sia to how it looks today. It has been over a century and half since Sia Ygua came to the Philippines. His descendants have spanned five generations and have been completely assimilated into Philippine society. More than 200 descendants live all across the country, the majority of who remain in Cagayan de Oro. *( although Igua is currently with an “I”, we have chosen to use “Y” for anthropological reasons; i.e, it was spelled as such during the Hispanic period: e.g. iglesia was spelled yglesia)

The patient was transferred to the NMMC on Wednesday for further medical examination on suspicion that the patient might have contacted “MERS CoV.” “A “MERS CoV” could only be spread through droplets within a meter distance, through clothes, and saliva. Thus, the spread of the disease is not airborne,” Mendoza said. “We suspect that the patient is suffering from another kind of ailment other than MERS CoV,” Mendoza said. A text message circulated Wednesday about a 36 year old female overseas foreign worker (OFW) who reportedly showed signs of “MERS Cov” contraction prompting health officials to investigate. The patient who came from Singapore is now undergoing treatment at the NMMC, the only public hospital outside Metro Manila, which has the capability to treat highly con-

MERS-CoV, he explained, is a very contagious that can infect people easily since it is an airborne. Quiaiot said the woman is still alive contrary to the text messages and posts in the social networking sites. “If indeed the woman suspected of having MERSCoV died, it will be a different story,” Emano stressed. Earlier, he said his medical team reported to him that the woman is merely suffering from tuberculosis (TB). As of press time, Quiaiot said the couple is still confined at the isolation ward of the NMMC pending the result of the confirmatory test scheduled to be released in the next few days. The governor, however, said he will send his medical team composed of Dr. Divina Casiño and Dr. Jerry Calingasan to verify the reports.

Security...

from page A1 Desquitado, director of the regional police command here, said that the Commissions on Elections (COMELEC) presided over the reactivation of the RJSCC. He said that the RJSCC stakeholders have emphasized on the evaluation about the preparations of government security forces in ensuring a secure and fair 2016 national and local elections (NLE) in May this year. The activity emphasized the evaluation on the preparations of government security forces in ensuring a secure and fair 2016 national and local elections (NLE), Desquitado said. Renato Magbutay, the COMELEC regional director in Northern Mindanao, said that the purpose of the conference was to unify the efforts among member agencies so that the coming elections would be peaceful. “We want to secure the midterm elections in May this year in order to allow the citizens to exercise the right to vote without fear, intimidation, and force that would violate the free will of the voters,” Magbutay said. Officials of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), however, expressed the apprehension about the bombing of the transmission towers, which might hamper the distribution of power in Northern Mindanao on the day of the election. The other members of the RJSCC are the Division Commander, 4th Infantry Division, PA, Brigade Area Commanders, the PNP regional director, DILG, DepEd, Bureau of Local Government Finance

And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” Another also said, “I (BLGF), representatives of National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and Smartmatic.

from page A7 of becoming a victim online is 80%. There are various security threats such as internet and network attacks, unauthorized access and use, system failure, illegal copying, hardware theft and information theft. He said that for example in online banking, banks don’t ask for your PIN. He also said that through social engineering, one can hack into your email and pretend to be someone you know and ask for your information. To make sure, you do not become a victim, carefully read the reply path, Cabanlong said. Albert Salvador, System Security Management Division of ICTO said that hacking penalties and piracy is under E-Commerce Act of 2000. Other laws pertaining to cybersecurity include RA 10173 or Data Privacy Act and Cybercrime Prevention Act or RA 10175 for identity theft, email spam and libel, among others. Meanwhile, enforcement and implementation for cybercrime are under the jurisdiction of the PNP, National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ). (JMORucat/PIA10)

Heads...

from page A2 The IATFSEF is composed of sub-task groups with strategic heads which will focus on critical issues, such as, TransCo for the ROW, the Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines for security matters, the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the legal aspect, NGCP for the community relations and DOE for the information, education and communication (IEC) campaign. For the ROW, one of the measures is to provide the inventory and identification of the lands including the vegetation and structures involved, valuation of the properties, capability to implement expropriations and/ or execute restoration activities, and identification of priority areas. On the security concerns, first and foremost nearby communities are called upon again to help scout and secure the transmission facilities. Members of the police and the military will be involved to augment and assist them. Monsada also stressed that the government is seeking all legal recourse following the persistent concerns compromising the country’s power facilities. In this regard, the legal sub-task group will explore and exhaust all legal remedies available to ensure that any actions taken by the IATFSEF are within the bounds of the law. Moreover, stronger community relations through massive IEC campaigns and strengthened corporate social responsibility activities are some of the measures aimed at addressing the matter.

will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God: Printing paid by: Neneth Ranoa - Bobong Balino- Edith Ranoa, PhDTony Jordan – Cagayan Bro. Edcel L. Closas De Oro: My new number: 09187148435: Please have Your Soul Incredible: God my latest book: To Make bless you!!! With the task force activated, the government seeks a swift resolution of the bombings of transmission facilities and ROW problems in Mindanao to ensure progress and peace and order in the region. The task force is directed to report to the President on its progress on a weekly basis. Meanwhile, after the MPMC meeting, the DOE and representatives from TransCo, NGCP, and MinDA also met with the Davao City Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCCI) upon its invitation to discuss the various issues related to energy in Mindanao affecting their business and operations. It is also the objective of the DOE to include the business sector in crafting and executing plans to address power supply situation in Mindanao. The DOE assures the public that the government is taking action to ensure reliable, sufficient, stable and secure energy in the entire country amidst the threats of El Nino and insurgencies, particularly in Mindanao.

from page A4 abroad because the opportunities in this land are not enough to yield sustainable income to feed a family? Now that is also another issue that must be addressed. Ask around your peers or even in your own family, there must be 3 out of your 10 relatives in Cagayan de Oro that survive through the remittances of their OFW or OCW relatives. Though labor export disguised as a cruel OFW migration phenomenon, decorated as “Modern Heroes” our City must also look into the welfare of the families left behind by those parents who work abroad. Kabalo naman siguro ta nga daghan sa kabatan-unan sa syudad sa Cagayan de Oro naay ginikanan nga buhi sa ilaha pamaagi sa pag trabaho sa gawas sa nasod, pero ang kwarta nga mo abut sa ilaha ma waldas sa gimick, barkada, lakwatsa o drogas. Issues like this must be resolved if we want to make a better City. We need a leader who can bridge the missing gap in the political leadership. We need a leader who will look into the welfare of our young generation. Mag sige ta ug reklamo nga mao ra gihapon atong mga politiko, walay ikapuli nga mas maayu pa, pero nag huna-huna ba ta para sa kaugmaon sa atong kabatanunan?. This is not a problem we are encountering just today, it is a problem that has always been there since the time of the inception of this City but we have failed to address it properly. Of course this is not a one-man solution but it is better to vote and elect into power, a leader who will have a good vision of changing the next generation, make it better than what it was before. Universities in the City and its schools have had a shot in making a better generation, better than the previous. Making leaders and youth who are better equipped to tackle the city’s issue and concerns. But, may kulang pa. So I urge all groups in this City, to work and put into consideration the political dimension. How to

transform our ideas, make them work in the local level. Dili lang ta sige tudlo ug insakto, dapat ang atong syensya ug agham magamit ug matuman. Political Will must come from a Leader, who will transform ideas of our youth into political programs and ordinances if we are to make this city a better place. We need to vote for a leader who is a banner of the youth. So far, amongst the 3 political colors in this City, I have only seen 1 color carry the youth banner. I am simply hoping and would personally invest my time and effort in the political group that can empower the youth and help us create a pro-youth city, where our youth can create and be part of making this city a better place for themselves and their families. *** Gilbert John Red R. Emano V or simply known as “Red” among his colleagues is a Certified Market Researcher and is the former Vice-President of the Centrist Democratic Youth Association of the Philippines. He is a recipient of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation program for political leaders and has traveled to different parts of the Philippines and in Germany to study pressing issues that concern the youth and how to address them.

from page A4 believes in God, and that even its present Constitution, promulgated by the first President Aquino in 1987, confirms that belief in God by its invocation of the Almighty God’s aid. “That being the case, there should really be no problem as there should be no serious objection if government leaders, no matter what their religion maybe, would be pushing spirituality as a way of life, as distinguished from mere religious affiliation among Filipinos, in an attempt to improve their economic status.” -oooJESUS, AND WHO HE TRULY IS: If Jesus Christ is preached as someone other than what He truly is, are we, His believers and who have been inspired to know who He truly is, to remain silent and simply allow that preaching to happen? The answer is no, and that anwer is not even from me, but from Paul, the lawyer who wrote almost half of the New Testament of the Bible. Here was what Paul wrote: “… For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough… such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ…” -oooPLEASE LISTEN: “Ang Tanging Daan” (The Sole Way): a Bible study and prayer session online could now be heard, 24 HOURS a day, in the Philippines and the world at www.facebook.com/angtangingdaan or www.facebook.com/ANDKNK (and look for “Ang Tanging Daan” broadcasts).
