DepEd-Region 11 admits first year of K-12 might be difficult

By Antonio L. Colina IV of MindaNews

DAVAO City--The Department of Education (Deped) in Davao Region said it could not assure a smooth implementation of the K-12 program this year even if the schools are ready for the opening of classes on June 13.

“We are ready for the opening of classes. We do that every year so we know the potential situa-

tion we’d face. It’s quite exciting and suspenseful as far as the senior high school is concerned since it’s our first time to make it happen. We will not say that we will be very successful [in] one year of operation,” DepedDavao spokesperson Jenielito Atillo said in mixed English and Cebuano in Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City Monday.

He admitted that the first year

of K-12 would still be experimental. “We are just starting.

The first year will always be the guinea pig.”

He said they are projecting a total of 1,109,874 enrollees for the school year 2016-2017.

Of the number, 814,767 are elementary pupils and 295,107 are secondary students.

Based on Deped-Davao’s records, the region has a total

of 1,630 public elementary schools, 303 public secondary schools, 527 private elementary schools, and 261 private secondary schools.

Atillo admitted the additional two years in high school is a burden but encouraged parents to look at the benefits like making their children jobready after the six year-program.

CAGAYAN de Oro City -- A 1994 ordinance imposing curfew for minors is now being implemented by the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) and

Greenpeace urges Duterte to hasten shift from fossil fuels

RESPONDING to REN21’s “Renewables 2016 Global Status Report,” which showed a record-breaking past year for the renewable energy sector in terms of new installations, policy targets, investments and jobs, Greenpeace urged the incoming administration of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to fast-track the shift from fossil fuels in order to ensure sustainable national development for the Philippines.

“The Philippines should take advantage of renew-

able energy (RE), which is outpacing dirty oil, coal, and gas in terms of growth worldwide. President-elect Duterte should champion the country’s shift from fossil fuels to renewables, which would give his administration the higher moral ground when it negotiates lower carbon emissions from developed countries.

Doing so would not only lower the main source of climate change, but also take advantage of the growing opportunities for jobs and investments, as shown in the

REN21 report,” said Reuben Muni, Philippine Climate and Energy Campaigner of Greenpeace Southeast Asia.

“The report comes at an opportune time for the Philippines, just over a week after the Climate Change Commission issued Resolution 2016-001, calling for a comprehensive review of the country’s energy policy in order to reduce our dependence on coal and urging relevant government agencies such as the Department of Energy, the Department

of Environment and Natural Resources, and the National Economic and Development Authority, to come up with a national framework for a just transition to renewable energy. This will open the country to a low-carbon economic pathway. Any national development would not be sustainable if our power sector is still hinged on fossil fuels,” Muni added.

The report showed that developing countries put in USD 156 billion in investments globally in renewable energy in 2015. This is a

reported 19% increase compared to 2014 and higher than all the investments for 2015 of developed countries combined. Greenpeace is optimistic that the results of the proposed policy review will open more doors for investments in the Philippines and provide more green jobs in the renewables sector in the country.

Greenpeace says that the renewable energy sector showed very clear growth despite the hold of fossil fuel companies on the energy industry.

“Although the deck remains stacked against renewables - with fossil fuel subsidies, low fuel prices, problems accessing the grid, vested interests and government inertia - they are still breaking through. If renewables can add 147 GW of power in 2015 with this economic picture, imagine what they could achieve if the cards were even,” said Emily Rochon, Global Energy Strategist of Greenpeace International. ”Governments must

DAVAO City -- Many of the 52,556 Grade 11 incoming public senior high school students in Davao Region will face lack of space where they can hold classes, according to the Department of Education (DepEd) XI when it implements the first year of implementation of the K+12 program.

This time, school principals may even have to give up their offices and other available spaces in favor of the incoming senior high school students in schools where there are shortage of classrooms.

Je nel ito At i l lo, t he spokesperson of the Department of Education (DepEd) -11, said the construction of school buildings which have 1,489 total classrooms are still under construction.

Atillo said they are as-

sured by the contractors that 482 classrooms will already be available by the time the school year opens next week while 453 will be available by August.

“But we have discussed with our local school divisions on the shortage and have offered solutions to this,” Atillo told reporters in an interview. Atillo said school division officials will temporarily borrow classrooms in adjacent schools.

This means senior high students will hold classes in the adjacent schools.

In Compostela Valley, for example, school officials shift some rooms to senior high intended for the junior high school. They will also use the Local School Board-funded buildings, gymnasium. “ The non-academic

classes will suffer. The principals are also committed to lend their offices as temporary classrooms,” he said. But, we have confirmation they will complete the rooms.

Atillo reported that there are 63,065 senior high students who will be part of the opening salvo of the implementation of K+12, a program that covers 13 years of basic education.

The Philippines is the only country in Asia and one of only three countries in the

world with a 10-year preuniversity cycle.

As of October 2015, DepEd recorded a total of 52,566 Grade 11 students in public senior high schools and 10,499 in the private school or a total of 63,065.

In the region, Atillo said there are 209 private schools offering senior high while there are 298 senior public schools. There are five schools, all located in hard-to-reach areas that do not offer senior high but the students will go to mother

schools.

Earlier, President-elect Rodrigo Duterte expressed concern on the problem in education from the aberration created because of K-12. He said there are many students that could run to hundreds who cannot enroll for senior high school and the marginalized teachers who will be out of job because they do not know where to go.

He said already talked to incoming Education Secretary Leonor Briones to

address the many problems created by K+12.

Duterte sees the need to construct schools for senior high. If there are 20 to 35 students in a barangay, he aims to construct a school so that students do not have to walk 20 to 30 kilometers to the nearest school.

“Ako na mismo ang magdala ng eskwelahan (I will be the one to bring school to you),” said Duterte, emphasizing that government must keep on spending even on small projects. (PNA)

Tallest hospital soon to rise in Cagayan de Oro mindanaodailynews@gmail.com

By Mark Francisco

CAGAYAN de Oro City—A 10-storey hospital, said to be the tallest in Mindanao, will be constructed soon in Cagayan de Oro City.

Dr. Ferdinand D. Miranda, head of a local consortium which will manage the hospital, said the groundbreaking of ACE Medical Center Cagayan de Oro will be held this Sunday, June 12 on the 118th commemoration of the country’s independence.

Mr. Miranda said the 300-bed hospital will be part of the larger Allied Care Experts Group, a chain of hospitals founded 14 years ago by visionary physician-entrepreneur Amado C. Enriquez.

Mr. Enriquez, a cardiovascular surgeon by profession, decided in 2002 that hospitals must be owned by medical professionals themselves. Thus ACE Medical Center Baypointe was born in Subic.

Today there are eight ACE medical centers in operation including its Baypointe flagship. The others are located in the

cities of Quezon, Mandaluyong, Pasay, Pateros, Valenzuela, Malolos and in the municipality of Baliwag, Bulacan. Sixteen are either under construction or about to break ground.

The Allied Care Experts Group business model is distinctive in such that it would invite physicians from the localities and become their investment partners. The ACE Medical Center Cagayan de Oro consortium is composed of 60 investors, 23 of them medical professionals based in Northern Mindanao.

The 1,800-square-meter hospital will sit along Rosario Drive, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City and will compress the bed: population gap of the city.

An ideal bed: population ratio is one for every 500 persons. The existing bed: population ratio of Cagayan de Oro City is 1: 4,000.

DATU UNSAY, Maguindanao--Soldiers in conflict affected towns in Maguindanao where outlawed Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) operate have been placed on heightened alert following a road side bombing that injured a soldier, the military here said.

Capt. Joann Petinglay, 6th Infantry Division spokesperson, said the bombing transpired in a remote village of Meta here at about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday while the

soldiers were conducting foot patrol while Muslim faithful prepare food to take before sunrise.

“We are saddened by the incident but the injured soldier is not out of danger,” Petinglay told reporters.

She did not name the soldier who belonged to the 34th Infantry Battalion stationed in Datu Unsay town, one of the conflict affected communities in Maguindanao where the BIFF operates.

Nobody could cow a journalist For the Filipino journalist, boycotting the press conferences and statements of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, is unfair to the Filipino people.

The Filipino journalist has a mandate to inform and educate the public about issues and concerns that affect community. It is the duty of the journalist to carry out the mandate amid threat and even reprisal.

The truth hurts, but it is the truth and the journalist is bound to tell the truth.

Duterte’s unfavorable statement about the media killings in the country was meant to remind the media that the job of the journalist is not an easy task.

With the exception of some, the statement exposed the “oppressed Filipino journalists” who are exploited by the publishers and the broadcast industry.

An ordinary or even experienced Filipino journalist does not enjoy fair salaries and wages.

Without the media, who will safeguard public possessions, funds, etc. from corruption, mismanagement, bickering, stupidity and recklessness? Who will inform the taxpayers and the general society of the state of affairs, the in and out of movements taking place in the environment?

How will society know of the things happening in places thousands of miles away like from Europe to the Middle East, America, Canada, Latin America, to the last city in the Philippines and elsewhere?

Have we realized that in this era of the Internet and computer, it takes only a minute or less for people in the Philippines to know what happens in America or in Europe? That modern day media even allow human beings around the globe to watch “live” while the actions are developing?

Like any sector in society, the media have scientifically grown too and it brings reports directly to the bedrooms of people anywhere.

What people do not know is how all these things got entangled to hit the cross section of humanity. It certainly, takes a lot of things that truly included and absorbed the lives of journalist in particular. Just because we stand by the truth, the tendency that some people are hit on the head and swim into the lake of shame is definitely not remote.

To resort to the killing of journalists who are perceived to be corrupt without due process is an affront to the constitution and the country’s judicial system.

Actually, the statement of Duterte in justifying the murder of Filipino journalists on suspicion of being corrupt has exposed the sorry state of the Philippine journalism as a whole.

The statement of Duterte was a clarion call to publish-

for their righteousness like being kind, courteous, caring, helpful, religious and the like. On the same manner, it also shun, criticize, despise, ridicule the bad ones, more particularly on negative actuations. The same thing is true to other institutions whether it is business, religious, family, group of people, school and anything.

Remember the old adage that journalists are the soul

Quo vadis, Bongbong?

Had Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. won the vice presidential contest, it could have been one of the greatest – if not the greatest – political comebacks in the annals of politics. And the 30 years that passed since his father, the late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos, was ousted and the entire Marcos family booted out of the country, it would have been a saga that historians would consider as the pinnacle of political achievement. No political dynasty in modern times had done such a spectacular comeback. If history had to be repeated, the Marcoses would have been consigned to the dustbin of history, maligned and laughed at.

But like a snail that inched its way – slowly but surely — to the top, the Marcoses cunningly calculated each movement to achieve the desired result without alarming those who have vowed “Never again!” to their comeback. Had

A6 Westmin Troops drive away lawless elements harassing government project workers Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, and the cities of Isabela and Zamboanga

mindanaodailynews@gmail.com

ZAMBOANGA City -- Military forces are tracking down a group of lawless elements that harassed a construction firm undertaking a government project in a remote area of Zamboanga del Norte.

Supt. Rogelio Alabata, Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) spokesman, said the harassment occurred around 2:30 p.m. Monday in Sitio Nasal, Barangay Puliran, Sibuco, Zamboanga del Norte.

Alabata said the work-

ers of a local construction firm were constructing a concrete bridge when a group of lawless elements opened fire.

Alabata said a brief firefight ensued as the squad of soldiers from the Army’s 42nd Infantry Battalion providing security to the workers returned fire.

He said the lawless elements led by Jamaruddin Alih alias Boy Taka fled towards northeast direction heading to Barangay Puliran, Sibuco, upon sensing

the arrival of government reinforcements.

He said no one among the construction workers and the security forces were either killed or injured during the brief firefight.

He said the troops have uncovered an encampment of the lawless group around 500 meters away from the project site.

He said the troops have strengthened the security measures to ensure the completion of the government project. (PNA)

DepEd reiterates ‘no collection’ policy ZAMBOANGA City -- The Division of City Schools has reiterated the Department of Education (DepEd) circular emphasizing on the “no collection” policy in line with enrollments from Kinder 1 to Grade 12 for

school year 2016-2017 in public schools.

Dr. Rosalio Conturno Jr., education supervisor for school governance and operations division chief, said school administrators and principals should comply with the agency’s standing policy based on DepEd order 41 series of 2012 issued by Education Secretary Armin Luistro.

Conturno said schools can only begin collections of authorized school fees

by August “but then again, collections and fees remain voluntary and not compulsory.”

Conturno said the authorized fees, but not compulsory include Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts membership fees, Philippine Red Cross, Anti-TB fund, school publication fee and ParentTeacher Association fee among others.

He said the Division of

City Schools has set up a Balik Eskwela Action Center at its office in Barangay Baliwasan, this city, to cater to complaints, reports and all other issues and concerns related to school year 2016-2017 particularly the opening of classes on June 13.

He said the action center was set up on May 28 and will remain in operation until July 18.

The DepEd is expecting that at least 300,000 students will be enrolled for school year 2016-2017 in this city.

Dr. Pedro Melchor Natividad, DepEd assistant regional director, said that 240,000 of them are expected to enrol in public and private grade schools.

Natividad said that 50,000 are expected to enrol in Junior High School and 10,000 in Senior High School. (PNA)

Concur Empowers AirAsia to soar new heights with Cloud Computing Concur integrates travel desk processes for AirAsia staff enabling cost reduction and employee satisfaction Taguig, Philippines, May 25, 2016 – Concur, an SAP company, today announced a collaboration with AirAsia to implement an integrated Travel and Expense solution for its subsidiary AirAsia Global Shared Services, which provides business process outsourcing services to AirAsia Group’s 17,000 employees.

Air Asia needed a solution which would be simple to use and make travel expensing painless, as well as reduce paper usage and the time required to raise and claim travel expenses. It must also be secure both from an integrity and data security perspective.

AirAsia is Asia Pacific’s largest Low-Cost Carrier, with scheduled domestic and international flights to over 100 destinations from Japan to India.

AirAsia’s main hub is KLIA2, the no-frills terminal at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. All of AirAsia’s Kuala Lumpur departures and arrivals operate through this terminal.

“Even under normal circumstances, travel claims and co-ordination are complex. Magnify that by a thousand-fold and we realised that

we were under real pressure to look towards an integrated, simplified solution to replace the current manual in-house duty travel approval system which has separate flight and hotel bookings.

We needed something that would provide a quick one-stop solution as the travel expense claims were being managed across six locations in nine subsidiaries independently. Concur’s solution was offered and we were impressed by its ability to tightly integrate our systems,” said Naresh Alagan, Chief Executive Officer, AirAsia Global Shared Services.

Towards this aim, Concur implemented their Travel and Expense solution with the Policy Audit, Travel Allowance and VAT Configuration modules on cloud for AirAsia Global Shared Services. The aim was to reduce travel and expense management impact to all AirAsia Group employees, and in particular for AirAsia Global Shared Service and Finance staff.

“We wanted to help AirAsia employees spend as little time as possible on less valueadded activities such as managing duty travel and more on growing

the business. The shift to digitised claims is a step towards a paperless environment as we continue to utilise more cloud solutions.

Concur’s Travel and Expense solution key enabling benefit will be to streamline and abbreviate AirAsia’s travel expense process,” said Naresh.

“Due to the nature of our business, the travel requirement on staff is high and once the Concur Solution is rolled out, we are confident that staff are able to better focus on their work and worry less about reimbursements and approvals,” added Naresh.

The implementation for Concur’s solution is expected to be completed by early July this year.

Once live, it will allow

users to raise close to 100% of travel approvals, travel claims and hotel bookings, allowing the centralised travel desk to handle exceptional cases, make flight bookings and reconciliations for payroll expense claims and hotel payments. The solution will allow up to 10 persons across the AirAsia Group to be reassigned to more value-adding duties.

Naresh continued, “This ability to raise travel approvals, make and pay for hotels and claim expenses all through a single app is a revolution from our current, outdated manual process. The future addition of flight bookings for employees will complete the value chain, reflecting innovative cross-collaboration

Bongbong...

Solid North On the other hand, there was Bongbong who is identified with his late father, whose dictatorial regime had rubbed millions of people the wrong way, causing deep wounds in their psyche.

But since the three decades that had passed since the EDSA revolution, a new breed of Filipinos – the postmartial law babies and the millennial generation – has come of voting age. And they were the sources of Bongbong’s strengths, not to mention the vaunted “Solid North” that had brought sons of Ilocandia — Elpidio Quirino, Ramon Magsaysay, Carlos P. Garcia, Ferdinand E. Marcos, and Fidel V. Ramos – to the presidency in the past.

With the clannishness of Ilocanos, it is not unusual to hear them proclaim their loyalty to Bongbong Marcos, the heir to the Marcos dynasty. “Marcos pa rin kami” (We’re always be for Marcos) became their rallying cry during the campaign.

A waiting game With Bongbong’s Senate term coming to an end on June 30, 2016, what’s in store for him? Is he going to retire from public service or is he going to seek an appointment from his good friend, president-elect Rodrigo Duterte, so he could remain in the political limelight while he mulls over his future? At 58 years of age, he could still run a great

deal of political mileage including another run for a Senate seat in 2019 and the presidency in 2022. By that time, he’d be 64 years old, which would be his last chance to reclaim the glory and power his family had held – and enjoyed — for so long.

But Bongbong going for the presidency in 2022 would be a lot more complicated – and challenging – than it was when he ran for vice president. Needless to say, Leni Robredo would most likely run for president too; thus, making their face-off a rematch but at the higher heavyweight division.

But as vice president for the next six years, Leni would be “president-in-waiting” and just a heartbeat away from the presidency. Indeed, the vice presidency is the best “on-the-job training” without doing much… just waiting.

The clash between Bongbong and Leni in 2022 would set the direction of where the country is going to be in the next quarter century.

Surmise it to say, Bongbong represents the country’s elite while Leni identifies with the common tao – the “tsinelas” followers of her late husband. But while Leni’s pursuit of the presidency is a given, Bongbong’s mission in life appears to be to vindicate his father.

If he loses, then it will give the people a glimpse of how history will treat Ferdinand E. Marcos. It has been said,

“Time heals all wounds.”

But the wounds are deep and it might be too soon for healing… if it ever will.

Quo vadis, Bongbong?

derby, Bongbong and Congresswoman Leni Robredo fought the battle neck and neck. In the end Leni outvoted Bongbong by a razorthin margin of a little over 260,000 votes. Although Leni was relatively unknown – she had no prior national election experience – her late husband, Secretary of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Jesse Robredo, was very popular with the ordinary people.

His habit of wearing rubber flip-flop slippers – or “tsinelas” — in public had earned him their respect and admiration.

While her husband’s legacy helped her win the support of the common people – masa – Leni got a big boost from the “Kaya Natin!” — a good governance grassroots movement — that Jesse founded together with Pampanga Governor Fr. Ed Panlilio and Isabela Governor Grace Padaca. However, with the defeat of Panlilio by the powerful ArroyoPineda political alliance and the loss of Padaca in a recount engineered by the powerful Dy family dynasty, Kaya Natin! was decimated of its leadership. Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo survived the political assault.

In 2010, President Benigno Aquino III appointed him DILG Secretary. He served in that capacity until his untimely death in 2012.

We are pleased to provide Air Asia Global Shared Services with best-in-class integrated travel and expense management

“SAP is proud to support our local carrier, AirAsia which is recognised and applauded internationally, with cloud solutions from Concur to enable them to meet their key objectives of cost reduction, employee satisfaction and easier access to duty travel. The aviation market here is facing intense competition from international carriers and pressure from aviation regulations for higher integration and efficiencies. Once implemented, this objective for AirAsia would be met,” commented Terrence Yong, Managing Director, SAP Malaysia.

He will never give up in loving you T he G ospel o f Jesus Christ (June8, 2016-Wednesday) Matthew 5:33-37-Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shall not forswear thyself, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because

thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil: Saying says, “Promises are made to be broken.”

There are many people in our society who are liars because they never fulfill their promises. This scenario is always done in “borrowing money and in lending company.” In fact, “many establishments are closed and bankrupt due to broken promises.”

Do you have loans and borrowed money? In Sirach 29:4-5-“debts must be paid” instead of making any promise to avoid sins. In James 5:12-But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. This is true since human being is changeable in emotion and thinking. It is very easy for us to make statements

Home schooling 101

By GRACIANO B. CHIONG Jr. Teacher III Palilan Elementary School District of Jimenez

HOME schooling is one basic education option in the Philippines. This has always been the cheaper option and with the arrival of online curricula such as K-12, homeschool programs have become more popular.

The providers hold seminars and meetings to lure parents out of traditional schools. Education was once considered to be a great equalizer that narrowed the gap between the haves and have-nots.

Home schooling, also known as home education, is the education of minors inside the home as opposed to the formal settings of a school. Home education is usually conducted by a parent or tutor.

Many families that start out with a formal school

structure at home often switch to less formal and often more effective ways of imparting education outside of school.

Home schooling can be used as a form of supplemental education and as a way of helping children learn under specific circumstances. The term may also refer to instruction in the home under the supervision of correspondence schools or umbrella schools.

In a unit study approach, multiple subjects such as math, science, history, art and geography are studied in relation to a single topic. An extended form of unit studies, integrated thematic instruction utilizes one central theme integrated throughout the curriculum so that students finish a school year with a deep understanding of a certain broad subject or idea.

Batas...

from page A4 Right away the journalist involved is the target of wrath or anger. Revenge could develop outright that could lead to the author’s assassination.

If killing the author is not achieved for some reasons, the most he gets is being slapped with libel suits. Many journalists have gone to jail while others had to pay thousands of pesos for damages. For a fact, a little less than a hundred journalists in the Philippines fall into their grave yearly - - an statistic that made the country one of the most dangerous country in the killing of journalists. Maybe many Filipinos specially in the government service just do not like to be criticized by the media and this makes journalists as the most endangered specie.

Government officials and employees are most likely the

of reading a book or playing a piano.

Listening, takes 45% in our communication time but unfortunately it is often the most overlooked part of communication. Have you ever experienced when others didn’t pay attention?

How do you think the person feels if you don’t listen as well? Most failures of untarget of criticism because they automatically become public properties being paid with public funds. They are answerable to the people for any blunder committed and have the liabilities to make explanation or whatever. Journalists do not mind about private funds unless the same was stolen that make it news. If it does not falls within the elements of news, it is nothing to us.

To be specific, in the case of Rodrigo Duterte, who was elected president of the country, he acquired a bigger personality than when he was just mayor of Davao. He is an attraction not only by the local media in Davao City but also in the national and international level.

It is not surprising, therefore, that he is subject to criticisms, that he now faces and many press people around for that reason who are anxious to listen to his plans and objectives in managing the affairs of the

country. While he has the duty to work in a government office, he has the ultimate obligation to inform the public by way of the media what is happening in the state.

Whatever error he commits, honestly or maliciously, he will always be subjected to criticism.

His pronouncement that he is killer and a womanizer is not acceptable by any society - - a matter that will not make any journalist smile. It is bad, but bad news is printable as good news. So any moment while writing, we may refer Duterte as the alleged “killer” or just plain “womanizer”. We are safe from libel because it was him who described himself on these words. We know the guy as having a mouth that spits bad words. One time he urged people not to believe all what he said. Many women were angry of some of his words that belittled them. To me it is not frankness but pure and

simple joke or recklessness.

In our case writing is a profession, an art and a science to inform and entertain the public. People who indulge in this occupation go to school to be able to express himself, convey legibly and communicate.

As he write, there is a sword hanging on his head like that of Damocles while his right foot in jail and his left foot in the cemetery. The risk is horrible and the only thing we get is prestige, honor and dignity.

Almost always little pay. We die a pauper but mourned by some people who recognized the job we perform. Society gives us a salute, a thing bestowed upon us for the danger of our job. On our part, we die smiling. BEN EMATA (The author nearly met his creator when he boarded a helicopter that crashed years ago. A hard hitting journalist, he was slapped with a total of 52 cases of criminal libel.)

derstanding is caused by the absence of the mentioned skill.

By not listening to teachers while they explained or give instructions pupil’s school performance fell.

Listening can be enhance if we follow these tips: 1.

Pay attention what is being said. 2. Catch the emotional overtones of the speaker’s voice. 3. Keep an eye to the speaker’s position, facial expression, and gestures. 4.

By Velma M.Remoroza, Teacher III Salawagan Central Elementary School Salawagan, Quezon, Bukidnon

Listening is to hear and understands the meaning of what someone has been said. It’s one of the four major communication skills that receives least attention.

Unlike reading, speaking, and writing, the listening skill usually regarded as a passive process. It’s a learned skill that can be improve just like the skills

Bro. Edcel L. Closas

Don’t be physically present but mentally absent.

5. Never entertain your seatmate to have monkey business. 6. Make a habit to jot down notes while listening if it is a seminars or speech. 7. Always bear in mind the positive attitude toward listening skill.

Listening skill can be enhance if we follow these tips, and Pupils’ school performance in will be improved. Misunderstanding are also less likely to happen when all of us take time to be a good listener.

He said the graduates of senior high school would obtain national certificates which they can use to in getting technical jobs.

Outside the new curriculum, the students will still have to enroll in any program of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority to obtain national certificates, he explained.

“The additional two years is financial calvary. You have to spend for fare, food, clothes, and everything but please look at the offerings of the senior high school. The return of investments for the education of the children will amount to something that will give them, if they would complete senior high school, a national certificate,” he said.

He urged the people to embrace the K-12 and give this new curriculum a try.

“Ang problema (the problem is) we are too much afraid of the dark and we already surmise the kinds of demons na wala diay (that are nonexistent),” he said, alluding to people’s perceptions of the program.

Deped-Davao also offered vouchers for upcoming senior high school students who wanted to study in private high schools, colleges and universities, as well as in state universities and colleges, and technical and vocational schools.

Applications, however, had closed last May 6.

The voucher “enables a discount or a reduction from the cost of tuition and other fees charged by a nonDeped senior high school where he or she will enroll.

The voucher subsidy is not given to students directly in the form of cash but will be disbursed by Deped to nonDeped SHS where he or she enrolls.” (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

ordinance and its implementation is highlighted more because of the ongoing talks about implementing such all over the countr y. Unfortunately since we are basing this on our 1994 ordinance, it only covers 15 years old and below,” said Sabuga-a.

He emphasized that even with the implementation of the ordinance there is so much that needs to be revised.

“The existing ordinance lacks several needed provisions, it even has penalties and imprisonment for those minors caught in violation of the curfew. This is invalid if we base it on the Republic Act No. 9344 or the Comprehensive Juvenile Justice and Welfare System which clearly states that a child 15 years of age or under at the time of the commission of the offense shall be exempt from criminal liability,” he said.

The CSWD chief added that while the curfew is in effect “we are looking into a new ordinance proposing a code on parental responsibility in which the curfew would only be a part of the entire ordinance, the penalty clause will also be more into community service since most of the parents are really poor and cannot afford fines from penalties.”

Police Inspector Leo Huraño, deputy station

commander for operation of Police Station 3 in Agora integrated bus terminal expressed high hopes on the implementation of the curfew.

“This is the first time that we’ve seen the street this silent (as there are no) street kids who are usually running around at this time of the evening.

But I hope the different barangays would be able to also support us in this endeavor and help us in our patrol since we cannot do this by ourselves,” said Huraño.

Police Inspector Johnny Agutaya, Deputy Station Commander of Police Station 2 in the Cogon market area revealed that during the first night of the curfew they were able to gather several children around the area.

“We got 12 children during the implementation of the curfew and we immediately had our women and children desk officer interview them to gather enough data about these children and about their parents. Our procedural protocol here would be to turn them over in the morning to their barangays those who have parents and for those who don’t have any, we will turn them over to the CSWD,” said Agutaya.

One of their children in police custody explained that he did not know there was a curfew.

“I honestly did not know that there is a curfew going on in the city. I’m used to being out in the street and I was about to go home when the police got me along the street corner,” said Rusell, a 15-year old resident of barangay Cala-anan.

Other children claimed they knew about the curfew but revealed that they did not really think there would be a strict implementation on the first day.

Among all the 80 barangays in Cagayan de Oro City, only Barangay Gusa had been strictly implementing its own curfew since 2014 based on the 1994 ordinance.

The CSWD, however, hopes that to sustain the curfew for the next few months the city would need the full cooperation of the

different barangays. (Erwin Mascarinas / MindaNews)

Information on the count of the population were collected with 12:01 a.m. of August 1, 2015 as the census reference time and date.

President Benigno S.
