Thousands troop to Jesus Miracle Crusade physical, spiritual healings in Cag. de Oro Story by MARK FRANCISCO Photos by CHENG ORDOÑEZ
AROUND two thousand people filled the huge Pelaez Sports Center in Cagayan de Oro City to witness and be healed physically and spiritually by the famed Jesus Miracle Crusade International Ministry (JMCIM) Sunday, May 31. During the rally, 270 people were newly-baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, Savior of Humankind, during the seven-hour event which was preceded by the Jesus Miracle Youth Crusade the night before at Acsat
Gym. In the afternoon, there was a praise and worship, testimonies from those who were healed in past Crusades, song of the various choirs from this northern part of the island of Mindanao, preaching of the Gospel by Minister Luke Smith and his spouse, Beloved Preacher Annaliza Almeda-Smith and the most awaited part of all – the healing and baptism. Ordained Preacher Andy Biñas said the Jesus Miracle Crusade in a particular city is not held yearly but is toured all over the coun-
try and he was elated that many people heeded the ministry’s call for people to receive a renewed relationship with Jesus Christ as the Redeemer. The holding of the crusade at the venue itself was a Godsend miracle, according to Biñas. They were supposed to conduct it at the Misamis Orientalowned provincial capitol grounds but another group made a reservation there. To accommodate the Jesus Miracle Crusade ministry, the Capitol allowed them JESUS MIRACLE CRUSADE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY Founder’s daughter Sister to use the more spacious Annaliza Almeda-Smith and Minister Luke Smith lead the crusade at Pelaez sports

D avao property sector poised for major growth DAVAO DEL NORTE l DAVAO DEL SUR lDAVAO DEL ORIENTALl COMPOSTELA VALLEY
THE Philippine property sector is expected to sustain its growth in 2015 as the country’s strong economic performance, rising business sector and expanding export market will contribute to another stellar performance. Aside from the familiar
places such as Makati, Bonifacio Global City, Ortigas and Quezon City, Davao City also presents big potential to become a major real estate market given the region’s continued strong economic growth and emerging tourism industry.
PRA Form No.10.1 (LCRO) Republic of the Philippines LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRY OFFICE PROVINCE OF MISAMIS ORIENTAL Cagayan de Oro City NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION In compliance with Section 5 of R.A No. 9048, a NOTICE is hereby served to the public that JUDITH A. VILLALUZ has filed with this Office a petition for the change of the first name from “LEO MARREAU” to “LEO ALBERT” in the Certificate of Live Birth of LEO MARREAU ACOSTA VILLALUZ who was born on SEPTEMBER 7, 2003 in Cagayan de Oro City and whose parents are ALBERT TAN VILLALUZ and JUDITH FUSINGAN ACOSTA.

The Board of Investments (BOI) recently reported that P17.4 billion worth investments are expected in 2015 for the Davao Region, mostly in real estate development and agriculture. Notwithstanding, Davao City is still considered the most urbanized city in the region and in Mindanao, having the biggest share in housing projects. More investors are warming up to the business opportunities offered by Davao’s real estate market. Among these is Torre Lorenzo Development Corporation (TLDC), investing PhP 4 billion on three luxury property development projects in the region. The upcoming projects in Davao City — Dusit Thani Residences, dusitD2 Hotel and Lubi Plantation Resort — will provide luxury accommodations for guests
and investors as these projects are in partnership with Dusit International. Having the renowned global hotel brand on board, Torre Lorenzo’s projects guarantee to raise the bar in terms of quality accommodations in Davao. Torre Lorenzo president Tomas P. Lorenzo said that the properties promise to cater to the discerning tastes of local and international travellers seeking to take advantage of Davao’s booming tourism industry. “With an array of benefits for different levels of investment, Davao offers the best value in terms of doing business,” said Lorenzo. “As the Davao economy picks up, its property sector will strengthen and we will continue to see an upward trajectory. Now is the best time to capitalize on its real estate market given such favorable

Situated at Sitio Jang, Poblacion, Mahinog Camiguin- in the name of Prisco Pajalla, is the subject of DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE. (sold in favor of Mrs. Antonia U. Sultan) executed by spouses Rogelio R.

conditions.” Dusit Thani Residences will feature 168 full-service residence units standing in a complex that offers owners and guests prime city and ocean views. Adjoining will be the 120-key upscale dusitD2 Hotel with a full suite of accessible facilities and amenities. Both accommodations are located within Siam 8000, Torre Lorenzo’s first city community project, located in Buhangin District, Davao City. The 1.2-hectare development aims to provide a discriminating and highly diverse market with a selfcontained and integrated master planned community. Lorenzo said that they are also anticipating the recreational needs of a growing affluent market. “Torre Lorenzo’s first leisure community, Lubi Plantation Resort, will provide that one-of-a-kind adventure and experience.” The Lubi Plantation Resort, easily accessible by a 30-minute private speedboat transfer, is a 37-hectare island paradise that will
offer unparalleled accommodations and amenities of a private membership club. Lorenzo said the reason TLDC is bullish in Davao is because the city is one of the most progressive in the Philippines and is considered among the world’s safest cities. “Our goal is to conceptually start with the three projects, and eventually embark on more development ventures in the long run. We believe that the local audience will be excited for this kind of development in Davao, putting the region in the international tourists’ map and make it their destination of choice,” added Lorenzo. Headquartered in Makati City, Torre Lorenzo first made a name in the real estate market through its highly successful studenttargeted university housing project located well within Manila’s school district. The firm all the more solidified its reputation in the property industry with the development of its first township venture in Davao, Ciudades.

The scourge of political dynasties CAGAYAN de Oro City -- It is the supreme irony of our times that no sooner did we rid our society of the curse of dictatorship in 1986 than an epidemic of political dynasties break out on all levels of government in all regions of our Republic. In merely a few years, we squandered away the euphoria of liberation and the power we won by allowing greedy, shameless political families to supplant the Dictatorship with dynastic rule. Not only did we allow our provinces, cities, municipalities, and even barangays to be infested by political dynasties, we even let the Marcos dynasty return! Allowing them to reemerge rescued them from political disfavor and claw their way back to the company of decent society— something they could readily do given the abundance of their ill-gotten wealth. ***** And now we have the spectacle of a Marcos scion—in the Senate, no less, with dubious educational background—presiding over the question of peace and reconciliation in Mindanao which his father had bastardized.
The triumph of dynasties over our political system exposes the weakness of our society, of our concept of citizenship, and of our moral compass. As a society, we are fair game and minced meat to greedy, opportunistic, predatory traditional politicians or trapos. As sovereign citizens, our infirm political values make us vulnerable to the wiles and maneuverings of pretentious and wealthy trapos with presumptuous ambitions. And our weak moral compass renders us unable to distinguish between personal interest and common good; which is why our election choices frequently do not make sense—voting for candidates with dubious credentials, supporting the venal, the incompetent, or the corrupt. ***** It is to our discredit that greedy dynasties hold sway over segments of our population—which they corrupt and mesmerize with patronage and gimmickry. Electing them is a serious indictment against our political maturity as a people. We have allowed politics to turn into a clawing, ag-

grandizing contest between and among vested interests. And so we are embroiled in a political system with an aggrandizing urge that breeds a culture of corruption from privilege and impunity. The trapos and their dynasties have made it fashionable for whole families and clans to carve out and reserve for themselves a slice of power in every jurisdiction, if not the whole of it. The record shows that dynasties now dominate 93% of the provinces, straining our system with their corrupt practices. ***** Even the Senate is afflicted by multiple pairs of dynastic offspring of political families. What’s so
special about the Ejercito half brothers, the Cayetano brother-sister tandem, or the hand-me-down/fatherto-son bequests seats of the Guingona, Pimentel, and Angara patriarchs? Our society’s leadership as family heirlooms! Never mind that they trash political values and warp the functioning of our democratic system, must they wallow in shamelessness and cause it to be their legacy? With such entitlements abused and corruption rife, people today already take it for granted that wrongdoing is a normal fact of political life in our society. ***** Not to be outdone, the present leadership waves its slogan—“Daang Matuwid”—like a magic wand, to no avail, adding hypocrisy and pretentiousness to the political brew. ***** Election time next year, it’s a cinch that such hypocritical trapos and greedy wannabes who bastardize our democratic ideals, defying propriety and constitutional prohibition, will be even more firmly entrenched along with their See valdehuesa, page A11
‘Too much ado over nothing?’ Some quarters noted that Malacanang exercised strong “political will” in quickly passing the proposed bangsamoro basic law ( BBL) in the House committee level. Unfortunately, how the events played out unfairly undermined it instead. **** MORE WORRIED -- Truth to tell, I am now more worried on what will happen to the BBL from hereon. What worries me is the ensuing public perception, rightly or wrongly, that Malacanang “rammed through” the BBL approval by using its political clout by way of a “buy out” by Malacanang of Congress vote using public funds. This is unfortunate because in the process, the inherent merits of the BBL are lost or drowned out. And instead of being ideally considered a collective voice of a bipartisan Congress that the BBL rightly deserves, it will be undeservedly labelled a Liberal Party ploy or an “LP railroad”. ***** WRONG TIMING -- The
Advocacy Mindanao
Jess Dureza timing is also unfortunate for such landmark piece of a legislation. With the approaching national elections, the nation is now in the throes of a political season and politics have reared its ugly head and again the intrinsic merit or value of the BBL is lost in the political polarization. In the process, some worrying questions arise like: What if a non- LP administration takes over in Malacanang in 2016 when the BBL implementation goes high gear? What if the opposition and those opposed to BBL will come into power in Congress in 2016? What if the next president is anti BBL
or is not as supportive as President Aquino? ***** SOMERSAULT -- What caused these negative public perceptions were extant. For example, House committee chair Cong. Rufus Rodriguez prematurely and boastfully announced the passage of certain “nonnegotiable” revisions of the BBL. He swore to high heavens that certain “consensus” amendments had to be made otherwise the House would not approve it. There were even imprudent statements from some that if the Mamasapano suspects or the missing SAF gears were not surrendered by the MILF, there would be no BBL. When the votes came, those heightened public expections turned out to be all “dud”. It was a somersault! I wished my friend Cong. Rufus early on just kept his mouth shut and kept his preliminary thoughts to himself. ***** “BUY OUT?”-- Congressmen being called to Malacanang before the vote fueled the speculation of a
“buy out”. Unfortunately for the BBL, true or not, the PDAF and DAP ghosts came back from the grave to haunt it. **** SHOWDOWN --- After the House final approval , a vote will still take place in the Senate committee of Sen. Bongbong Marcos and a final plenary vote of the whole Senate. The noise now coming from some senators are worrisome. I predict both the House and Senate versions will be world’s apart. Another “bloody” showdown between the two chambers will surely take place. And BBL will again mercilessly be torn apart. ****** MY FEAR -- But my greatest fear is that a successful but delayed juggernaut at this late stage will not be good for the MILF on a long term. Even an entrenched BBL but with a short transition period for the MILF to prove itself and disprove the suspicious and the doubters will be fatal. I worry that MILF candiSee dureza, page A11

Tinnex pleads not guilty to ‘pork barrel’ scandal FORMER Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Constantino “Tinnex” Jaraula on Monday pleaded “not guilty” of the charges filed against him in connection with the alleged pork barrel scam involving P 50.5 million of his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) when he was still congressman of Cagayan de Oro in 2004-2007. Jaraula entered the plea of not guilty during the arraignment of his case in the Sandiganbayan Monday morning along with co-accused Janet LimNapoles, who also entered a plea of not guilty. The Sandigan p ostponed Jaraula’s arraignment twice after the former congressman of the Lone District of Cagayan De Oro filed a motion to squash all the cases, saying that the Office of the Ombudsman failed to establish the elements of malversation, graft and direct bribery being charged against him. In a ruling last May 13, the Sandigan First Division dumped Jaraula’s motion after the graft court held that after a “ judicious e valuat ion” the court found that the “information reveals the presence of the elements of each of the three offenses ascribed against the accused.” The charges against Jaraula stemmed f rom h i s a l l e ge d m i s u s e of P50.5 million-worth of his (PDAF) or pork barrel from 2004 to 2007 where Jaraula reportedly In its complaint, the Ombudsman alleged that Jaraula channeled his PDAF to fake foundations allegedly owned by businesswoman Janet NOTICE Notice is hereby given that a parcel of Land known as Lot No. 1942 with T.D.

Malnutrition in Agsur dips BUTUAN City––The complementary food feeding program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in Jabonga, a third class municipality in Agusandel Norte, helped decrease malnutrition incidence from a high of 74 percent to 34 percent, according to a study. The study, tied up with a 120-day complementary food feeding program, was conducted by DOST’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI). Findings showed that the significant increase in body weights of children is attributed to the 120-day complementary food feeding program implemented by DOST, through its attached agency FNRI. The latter developed several variants of said complementary food. This feeding program is a continuous undertaking in partnership with the Municipality of Jabonga and its Municipal Department of Social Welfare and Development office. “As part of DOST’s commitment to help curb malnutrition in the country, we have developed the comple-

Complementary food samples were formally presented during the Science Nation Tour (SNT) in CARAGA recently. Sec. Montejo handed over a basketful of complementary foods to Jabonga Mayor Jasmin F.

alnutrition is estimated to contribute to more than one third of all child deaths, although it is rarely listed as the direct cause, according to the data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). It said lack of access to highly nutritious foods, especially in the present context of rising food prices, is a common cause of malnutrition. Poor feeding practices, such as inadequate breastfeeding, offering the wrong foods, and not ensuring that the child gets enough nutritious food, contribute to malnutrition, it said. It added infection – particularly frequent or persistent diarrhoea, pneumonia, measles and malaria – also undermines a child’s nutritional status.

Teacher’s Views Editor : IRENE DAYO
The Art of Questioning By Charles Mahistrado School PrincipalPlantation Elem. School, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon
A teacher teaches by asking questions. But just how he or she uses questions or what sets apart keen, invigorating questioning from perfunctory versions might be hard to answer. Few of us can explain transformational grammar, but we can form questions, all the same. There are many classrooms in which teachers rarely pose questions above the “readit-and-repeat-it” level. Such as questions that demand inferential reasoning. The questions and answers that do occur often take place in a bland, if not boring or bleak, intellectual landscape, where student answers meet only with responses from teachers at the “uh-huh” level. Even more sobering is the observation that teachers’ questions often go nowhere. Classroom questions are often disingenuous. Some are rhetorical: “Are we ready to begin now?” Others are mere information checks-a teacher knows the answer and wants to know if students do, too. Missing from many classrooms are what might be considered true questions, either requests for new information that belongs uniquely to the person being questioned or initiations of mutual . The very way in which teachers ask questions can undermine, rather than build, a shared spirit of investigation. First, teachers tend to monopolize the right to question -rarely do more than procedural questions come from students . Second, the question-driven exchanges that occur in classrooms almost uniformly take place between teachers and students, hardly ever shifting so that questions flow between students. Moreover, classroom questioning can be exclusive. It can easily become the private preserve of a few- the bright, the male, the English-speaking. Questions can embarrass, rather than inquire. They can leave a student feeling exposed and stupid, more willing to skip class than to be humiliated. Skilled teachers raise questions that ignite discussion. They offer a question that can simmer over several days. They pursue a line of questioning that can lead to understanding. Those teachers suggest a counterportrait of classroom questioning, one that contains detailed clues about how the language of classroom dialogue can be used to establish and sustain not just a momentary discussion but a lasting climate of inquiry. The issue of what questions are asked and how they are posed ought to be part of a much larger inquiry. Currently, there is a deep concern about how - even if
we teach students to think. There is startling evidence that many students cannot draw inferences from texts, distinguish the relevant information in mathematics problems, or provide and defend a thesis in an essay. We have apparently developed a system of education in which rote learning occurs early and inquiry late. We teach the skills of scribes and clerks, rather than authors and mathematicians . We have come to accept a view of education that sees the experience of schooling largely in terms of its power to produce employable, rather than intelligent, students. Embedded in this broad concern, however, is the need for a second critiqueone that points out the situation of disadvantaged, minority, female, and handicapped students. For many of them, skills such as analysis, hypothesis testing, discussion, and essay writing may not just be taught late and meagerly-they may be virtually unavailable. Hence, when we examine skilled questioning (or instruction of any kind), it is essential to learn from those teachers who understand how to engage a wide community of learners Independent of whom they teach, skilled teachers question in distinctive ways: they raise a range of questions, they sustain and build arcs of questions, their inquiries are authentic, they inquire with a sense of respect flail decency. A Range of Questions Thirty years ago, the same information can be handled in more and less demanding ways. Such as, that students can be asked to recall facts, to analyze those facts, to synthesize or discover new information based on the facts, or to evaluate knowledge. Inference Questions ask students to go beyond the immediately available information. For example, a photography teacher held up a black-and-white portrait of a machinist, and asked, “What do you know by looking at this photograph?” Through careful questioning and discussion his students realized that the image contained hints that implied a whole network of information: clues to content (where and when the photograph was taken), technique (where the photographer stood, where the light sources were located), and meaning or attitude. To push beyond the factual in this way is to ask students to find clues, examine them, and discuss what inferences are justified. Interpretation Questions. If inference questions demand that students fill in missing information, then interpretive questions propose that they understand
the consequences of information or ideas. Transfer Questions. If inference and interpretation questions ask a student to go deeper, transfer questions provoke a kind of breadth of thinking, asking students to take their knowledge to new places. Questions about Hypotheses. Typically, questions about what can be predicted and tested are thought of as belonging to sciences and other “hard” pursuits. Predictive thinking, how-
ever, matters in all domains. When we read a novel, we gather evidence about the world of the story, the trustworthiness of the narrator, the style of the author, all of which we use to predict what we can expect in the next chapter. Far from letting their students simply soak in the content of dances, plays, or fiction, skilled teachers probe for predictions as a way of making students actively aware of their expectations. Ref lective Questions. When teachers ask reflective questions, they are insisting that students ask

themselves: “How do I know I know?”; “What does this leave me not knowing?”; “What things do I assume rather than examine?” Such questions may leave a class silent, because they take mulling over. Nonetheless, they eventually lead to important talk about basic assumptions. But simply posing a variety of questions hardly creates a climate for inquiry. At least as important is the way in which teachers respond to the answers their questions provoke. A recent research suggested that too often students’ replies meet with
little more than a passing “uh-huh.” Such responses can stop an inquiry dead in its tracks. In place of such dead-end situations, skilled teachers give an exchange of questions on a life-course. Across a long arc of questions and answers, they pursue an investigation in which simple factual inquiries give way to increasingly interpretive questions until new insights emerge. In this improvisation, teachers keep questions alive through long stretches of time, coming back to them days, even weeks, after they have first been asked.
YBVC – Conducive for Learning By Lonivert O. Cruz
Zamboanga Del Sur, a province situated in the Western part of Mindanao, where the urbanization has reached several milestones marked by progressive cities and municipalities that have been developed through the years of perseverance and desire of its people in attaining a progressive and well developed province. For years, several industries, businesses, firms, and newly discovered tourist destinations have been constructed and established paving a way for vast opportunities for its people in terms of employment. Most of its cities and municipalities are situated along the coastline of Yllana Bay, making them suitable for fisheries and other forms of aquatic livelihood. The location and topography of this province make it suitable for traders and tourists from other parts of the country to freely enter and conduct various types of enterprising because of its wide marketing choices. What makes Zamboanga Del Sur province lively and attracting to investors and tourists is its capital city, the Pagadian City. The city that has been marked for its frogleaping progress for several years since it became a city in 1959. Ushered by huge business establishments, trading blocks for various goods, commerce industries, new and well developed tourist spots, improved and upgraded public facilities, and most importantly the friendly, accommodating and loving people of Pagadian City – the Pagadianons, makes its features more fascinating. When Pagadian City became the new Regional Center for Region IX, this made the city more famous. Since the declaration, more investors and business establishments were constructed and established like the Gaisano Capital, owned by the Gaisano Group of Companies. Along with its impressive debut as the new Regional Center for Region IX is the inflation of its population. It has been projected that its population will double by at the end of the quarter of this year as soon as the transition of all the regional offices will be finished. This means that the city has more amenities to offer like housing and office units, upgrade and increase on the efficiency of its electric and water supplies, increase on the production of the basic commodities and most importantly increase on the opportunities of attaining a quality education. Attaining quality education through a lowest and affordable tuition fee is the very main reason why the Yllana Bay View College, Inc. has been founded and constructed. The name of the school itself is derived from the fact that its city loca-
tion which is the Pagadian City lies along the coastal waters of Yllana Bay. Yllana Bay View College is situated at the heart of Pagadian City with its exact location at Enerio Street formerly R.T. Lim Street, Balangasan District, Pagadian City making it more accessible to the public. It is also near to important establishments and institutions such as hospitals, fire and police stations, city library and as well as sporting venues. These establishments are just a walk away from the location of the school. Another thing is that, its location is also near to residential areas so as the prospected students that will enroll in this college will have an easy access to the school but this does not compromise the learning conduciveness of the school. The learning conduciveness of the school is assured because it is far from any recreational and entertainment areas such as beerhouses, clubs, bars, and the like that will distort the educational operation of the school in reference with its prospective students. Although the school is near to the residential area, but the people living around the school campus are very respectful, cooperative and peace-loving. In fact, Barangay Balangasan where the school is currently located is a crime free barangay as proven by police records which stated that the barangay is free from any forms of crimes, violence, and other forms of hostilities. The school location is also free from any forms of pollution especially noise pollution, that will become a hindrance in propagating good and quality education. Merely, the school is far from sources of noise such as industrial plants, highways and roads which are consistently used by noisy vehicles and motorists, disco houses, air and seaports and the like. The proponents of this
school see to it that its location is free from any forms of distortion and hindrances that would disrupt the learning of its prospective students. Yllana Bay View College, Inc. is indeed assuring that the environment as well as the people surrounding the school will not cause any hindrances, distortion, or will compromise the learning conduciveness of the facility towards the gearing of quality education to its prospective students. The Yllana Bay View College, Inc. postulates education as collaborator in getting one’s self out from his isolated class and into the one humanity. Thence, its focus on individual needs, contemporary relevance and preparation of students for a changing future is its wagons towards realization of individuality. It also deems that instructors and students workmanship can help in determining what should be learned and how best to learn it for each one to go hand in hand in ameliorating social problems. To continually cater the needs of the learners towards excellent service and academic excellence, the school and its stakeholders are currently improving the school campus like classroom renovations, expansions, facility completions, and competent instructors’ formulations. Thus, these factors mentioned provide support and assistance to the school in attaining its dream motto “Yllana Bay View College, Inc. – The Builder of Future Leaders”. Yllana Bay View College, Inc. will open Grade 11 and 12 in 2016 Due to the rapid innovation and growth of the country particularly in population, technology transformation, industrial modernization, infrastructure alteration, educational qualification, and the like, it is indeed expected that the country is in need of competent workforces to attain employment demand and to
address the above-mentioned innovation. Hence, Yllana Bay View College, Inc. conducted a Career Guidance Outreach to determine the learners drive towards a sustainable and wellguided life. It was found out that the need of our learners to identify their course of study relative to their self inclination and skills is so much crucial. To wit, graduates of academic field of study are in demand to meet the needs of business sectors, organization workforces’ requirements and the like. Graduates of industrial arts and technical-vocational livelihood education are also in the bucket list of demands to meet the fast technology innovation as well as in sports and in arts and design for recreational activities to sustain satisfactions in life. Most of all, the peace and order necessity of the country is in the top priority considering the bloodsheds and hostilities that are evident in the country particularly in Mindanao. Thus, Yllana Bay View College, Inc.’s indulgence in building law enforcement officers and future leaders can assure that this could be associated to the courses offered by the Senior High School Curriculum and TESDA to completely attain the total demand of the country towards sustainability and global competence. Perspective Students of the aforementioned facts needed by the Senior High School curriculum are everyone who undergoes K TO 12 program of the government and is ready to qualify for Senior High School curriculum. Specifically, perspective students who are more likely living in the cities and municipalities adjacent to Yllana Bay View College, learners living in the peninsula and most especially, learners who are not financially well-off but eager to have an access to quality education.

DSWD breaks ground community-driven projects in Camiguin; to benefit more brgys By Irene Dayo, Staff member
A total of 58 infrastructure projects of Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan - Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) under the National Community-Driven Development Program (NCDDP) of Department of Social Welfare and Development were introduced during the information caravan and mass groundbreaking held at Camiguin Province last May 28, 2015. The KALAHI-CIDSS is a poverty alleviation program of national government implemented under DSWD that uses community-driven development (CDD) strategy to empower ordinary citizens of barangays or communities of targeted municipalities, in order for them to achieve improved access to services and further encourage them to get involved in local governance through planning, implementing, and monitoring projects together to address local poverty issues. During the mass groundbreaking, DSWD-10 Asst. Regional Director for Operations Aldersey MumarDela Cruz explained to the beneficiaries and audience present the power of people’s empowerment, being a way to better everyone’s daily lives. This is the reason DSWD has partnered with the volunteers and entered the social infrastructure projects. “I am a registered social worker, I am not an engineer, but the point is it is more on people’s empowerment, para sa katawhan kana (it is for the people),” she said. DSWD Assistant Secretary Teodulo R. Romo, who graced the event, also agreed to this. He said that they come up with this gathering to put to life the principle, collective goal of empow-
ering and improving the KALAHI-CIDSS beneficiaries. “It is high time that people will stand on their own,” the Assec. added, saying that they are in doubt in the past years to trust people with million-worth of projects, but now, KALAHI-CIDSS has put power in the hands of the people. He also shared that the program is for “building the capacity of ordinary people to do extraordinary things.” It is more than building infrastructures, it is the development of capacity of people; the capacity in understanding situation and the needs of their community, and the capacity in building projects. People have capacity and all they need is support comes to technical, financial aspects and capacity-building, so that they could run their lives and capacitate development. The Assistant Secretary also mentioned that KALAHI-CIDSS is same way for DSWD-led Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and Sustainable Livelihood Program; it is not about the money given, but developing capacity, “because the root of poverty is the lack of capacity of the people in a particular household.” CDD encourages people to identify the most pressing needs of their barangay, come up with solutions corresponding to these issues by choosing a sub-project that will answer the problem, implement it and help in maintaining it. These subprojects could be form of access road, flood control, sea wall, drainage, water system, barangay hall, evacuation center or health center. KC-NCDDP operations in Camiguin has already reached their sub-project implementation phase and are about to be com-

menced across all barangays. Camiguin province also pioneers the implementation and utilization of Disaster Response Operations Management (DROM), a system that uses enhanced and streamlined intervention to immediately respond in disasters through, for one, addressing the disasteraffected areas. More than 18,000 households of all 58 barangays in the province will benefit from these projects in which 15,269 of the households are poorest of the poor and in fact, are members of Pantawid Pamilya. In totality, these KALAHICIDSS projects in Camiguin are worth P60,408,958.56, plus counterpart support of P1,925,708.57 coming from LGUs. Nelda Econar, 41 years old and a volunteer of Barangay Sub-Project Management Committe of Sto. Nino in Catarman town, said in an interview that the KALAHICIDDS has caused big help in their community. The KALAHI-CIDSS grant worth of P835,445.68 and local support of P21,600.32 will cause the construction of submarine bridge, a vented submersible concrete pavement, along a riverbank in their place which is sensitive to flooding. Since this location is also a road line going to their elementary school, it was a struggle before for their students and teachers when it is raining hard. Thus, the submarine bridge is great need and its realization would be a good use for their barangay. The 90-calendar days construction of submarine bridge is

expected to start this month of June. Camiguin Governor Jurdin Jesus M. Romualdo is thankful for what has come in his province. In a message, he said that these DSWD projects complement with the programs they have set even before. “Everything comes into place as planned in our masterplan. The government is looking, down to barangay and sitio level for the future,” he said. The province is into programs that are beneficial not just for the present but also for the future families and the community. The governor committed to everyone that he will always be there to support KALAHI-CIDSS and is looking forward for more projects and partnerships.
Together with the BSPMC of each barangay, participating in the program are also the provincial and municipal local government units (LGUs). Before the funds were released, and projects were put into groundbreaking, KALAHI-CIDSS required a Tripartite MOA among the LGU, barangay and DSWD defining the roles and responsibilities of each party including the sanctions of violations to the agreement, policies and principles of the projects. The Province helped in the selection of municipalities, provided complimentary support to barangay subprojects and help monitor during its implementation. The roles of Municipal LGU, on the other hand, include
providing of counterpart contribution, logistical support and counterpart staff, conversing in municipal inter-barangay forums with the residents and volunteers, provide technical assistance, and participate in monitoring and evaluation, among others. The DSWD and partners are determined to make all households benefit from the change of environment. As what Assec. Romo said infront of the partners, DSWDCamiguin and Regional Office, “They brought us here. Without them, we are not here, no KALAHI-CIDSS, no Pantawid (Pamilya), and thus they should enjoy the quality of lives like we enjoy because we work on their lives.”

And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See My hands and my feet, which it is I myself; touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

Biblical reflection
Bro. Edcel L. Closas cross. They wanted to hide and escape from reality that Jesus was dead already. This is natural for us human beings to find a dwelling place for us to have comforts and relaxation from the troubles and sufferings we have experienced. But the worst of the two disciples, they forgot the words of promises of Jesus for them. They never believed that Jesus resurrected after three days. They made Jesus a liar in that way, but anyway, they were very emotional at the time and needed to be understood. This means that in time of troubles and doubts recall and remember the miraculous works of God in your life in the previous events of your journey for you to be fueled by the passion to move forward. This was the mistakes of these two men because they focused on the death of Jesus but never to his promised resurrection. They were very emotional at the time and made them coward to face the truth of Jesus fortune in Israel. Reminder: Be positive in times of your emotional struggles because it is wrong to make a decision. Almost emotional people went wrong when they made a decision in life: Printing paid by: Neneth Ranoa - Bobong Balino- Edith Ranoa, PhDTony Jordan – Cagayan De Oro: My new number: 09187148435: Thank you people of the Diocese of Butuan for your warm welcome and kindness to us: God loves you!!!

An outgoing and lame-duck president cannot be relied upon and of much help. ***** CREDIT IS DUE -- But I give credit to the MILF leadership for its statesmanship in clearly declaring early on that whatever happens, it will continue its journey for peace. I also give full credit to President Aquino for his strong, unflinching “political will” in seeing this through. “Railroad” or not, the nation needs a BBL as our last ditch to a peaceful transition. ***** TOO MUCH ADO? ---So please don’t wonder if, inspite of the recent House committee vote, I still have reasons to be worried about the BBL now. Maybe I worry too much. Or just maybe, I am giving -- to use a famous Shakespearian line -- “too much ado over nothing”. I do wish all these worries just ain’t so!!

And again, many Filipinos who possess outstanding virtue or talent cannot rise to their full measure because—like prime locations or properties in the real estate industry—all places in the political arena are already claimed by the privileged and wealthy trapo. It is such a great pity that promising Filipinos languish at the margins of community life—or are forced to leave for opportunities abroad— because political offices at home are foreclosed and locked in the pockets of greedy dynasties.

of the gantangan represents dinilusan or Hell that holds a curse for those who break such vow. The datus will then cut a rattan, put off a candle and break an egg, acts that symbolize the fragility of life. Datu Adag Macauyag, a Higaonon who has embraced Islam, pointed out that part of the settlement process is tracing the genealogies of both parties. If they happen to come from the same roots, resolving the conflict would be easier. Gimaides Ann Cadotdot, director of Pailig Development Foundation Inc. which is implementing socioeconomic and peace building projects in Rogongon and neighboring barangays, said that if the parties have blood relations the penalty can be lowered. She shared Sumilao’s observation that if a conflict involves Lumad and Moro residents the parties normally use traditional means to resolve it. She said Pailig has encouraged the strengthening of the traditional justice system by training local negotiators and mediators who will help the tribal leaders. “But many dumagat (settlers) are not receptive to traditional means.” Macauyag saids they will not oppose if Christians would prefer legal venues like the barangay justice system and the court. But for the late Antonio Liao, board member of Pailig, said in an interview a few months before his death that the customary way of settling conflicts is a better option in a place like Rogongon where having arms is a status symbol and commands respect. “In a legal case, there’s a loser. But in traditional conflict resolution the purpose is reconciliation especially since they (Lumads) are mostly related by blood. It’s a healing process.” Mr. Liao said the spate of killings during a rido stems mainly from a sense of pride or honor among the protagonists. A person feels a sense of inadequacy if he could not get back at those who have done him or his family wrong. “Once a killing takes place the reason is immaterial for the victim’s kin…Worse, an armed group might try to exploit the situation if a conflict is not resolved.” He cited a case of rido in Barangay Kalilangan, Iligan City where a child lost his father while he was still in his mother’s womb. The child only knew who the killer was when
he was old enough to carry a gun. The conflict was eventually resolved, but not before the son obtained vengeance for the death of a father that he never saw. Not all killings, however, result in a vicious cycle of reprisal. Datu Romapanot Estemmer Soong recalled a case that occurred on 27 December 2011, when Teofilo Oging of Claveria, Misamis Oriental allegedly killed a resident of Rogongon. He can never forget the incident because the victim was his 22-year old son, Glen. Authorities in Iligan wanted to really arrest and prosecute Oging, who fled to his hometown. The datus though – including the victim’s father – had agreed not to pursue a case in court and opt instead to settle it through traditional means. Glen’s father set his eyes on the table before him as he let Sumilao narrate the tragedy, his face showing sadness but without a hint of hatred for Oging. Bonto attributed the reconciliatory nature of the traditional justice system to batasan ha dangged. Called bungkatol ha bulawan daw nangkatasa ha lana in other Higaonon territories, batasan ha dangged is a sacred code of conduct that ensures peace, sharing and harmony in the community. “Not following it will lead to conflicts,” Bonto warned. If a man covets his neighbor’s wife Soong clarified that not all rido involves killing. “Sometimes the cause is man-woman relations. If I’m married and I commit adultery, a different way is used to resolve it, although the datus as mediators are also needed. If a datu commits this sin, he could not be allowed to arbitrate it.” Considered a big sin and cause of bad luck, committing adultery in olden times would mean death for the offender. He would be killed without letting his blood flow by hitting him in the nape with a wood called manubilan. With the passing of time the sanctions have become less severe. At present, the adulterer would be asked to explain why he did it. He should also offer different cloths and a chick which is made to bleed to prevent the death of a child, Soong continued. Datu Baligtawan Salusay explained further what happens whenever the datus settle an adultery case: “The man who covets another man’s wife will
be subjected to sala (determination of guilt) before the datus hand down judgment. They will ask the aggrieved party about his opinion, and he will likely say he likes to kill another man.” “But the datus would insist on settlement. He (aggrieved party) will be asked how much he spent for his wedding and the amount is doubled. If the adulterer could not pay, the datus will ask the aggrieved party if there is another woman he wishes to marry (in case there is no chance for the couple to be reunited). The adulterer and the datus will then go to the woman to help arrange the marriage. “The two parties to the case then face the datus and the gantangan, complete with a candle, egg and rattan, and witnessed by Magbabaya (Supreme Being), ancestors and tagulambong (guiding spirit) sa gantangan. The ritual now makes them more than brothers whom the datus have united. “If the aggrieved man would still harbor vindictiveness in his heart and the datus come to know about it, he will be arrested by the datus and his body chopped into pieces because he has violated the settlement they have forged. That’s why datus are sacred.” Conflict over resources The late Mr. Liao noted that land is the main cause of conflict in Rogongon and its environs, followed by rivalry over a woman and cattle rustling. Logging and mining have also caused conflicts, he added, citing the case of a miner who was found dead after searching for gold in a land claimed by another individual. “If the conflict is resourcebased, offer an alternative. There are vast lands, so develop agriculture,” he suggested, citing Pailig’s socioeconomic program in Barangay Lanipao, one of their partner communities in Iligan’s upland areas. He said the result of their program in Lanipao seems to have inspired neighboring villages. “Progress is not really that fast, but the effects on people can be seen. We believe that while we may not be able to eliminate rido completely we can minimize its occurrence.” He called the practice of sending a “peacekeeping force” to suppress a rido a temporary measure. “The people themselves should work out a solution otherwise the killings won’t end.” (H.

Journalism Community Press Awards. Its annual National Press Forum has also become a venue for discussion of pertinent global, national and local media issues. In 2016, the Institute is proud to have Nickel Asia Corporation (NAC) as its new principal partner for Civic Journalism—a flagship program of the PPI aimed at “building better communities”. “Nickel Asia is happy to be a principal partner of PPI. We are proud to join PPI in recognizing outstanding journalism among community newspapers across the country,” said Jose Bayani D. Baylon, NAC’s vice president for corporate communications during the 2014 Civic Journalism Awards last May 16 at Diamond Hotel in Manila. In the last awards season, NAC partially supported both the conference and the awards. Baylon also served as member of the national board of judges. “PPI is thankful for Nickel Asia’s support in the Awards, which honor community news organizations not only for editorial excellence but also for their role as catalysts for community development,” said PPI executive director Ariel C.

cause these are being resolved by the tribal leaders. He said the practice of resolving conflicts, including rido or vendetta killings between clans, through the indigenous justice system dates back to the time when there was no formal government yet. “We could not see Lumads in jail because we follow our culture in settling conflicts,” he beamed, his hand making gestures as he spoke. “Even killing or murder, a heinous crime under the legal system, can be resolved through traditional means,” Datu Paulino Licuanan joined in. Licuanan said that in a murder case the tribal leaders would ask the killer to explain why he committed the crime. At the same time, the other tribal leaders would ask the family of the victim if they will agree to resolve it through customary means. Afterwards the leaders who approached the two parties will consult each other as to what happened during the negotiations, and find ways toward a settlement lest the problem worsens or spreads. The datus will require an exchange of items with symbolic meanings that oblige both parties to give the conflict a closure. In a murder case for instance, aside from blood money, carabaos and four sacks of rice, the killer gives agaw sa balaw to the aggrieved party, acceptance of which signifies that the latter is willing to reconcile. Agaw sa balaw means a thing that takes away a person’s courage and thirst for vengeance. When money was not yet in use the Lumads used land and antiques as payment. At present, murder would mean paying 30,000-50,000 pesos. Sumilao said that during the settlement process the parties declare in front of a gantangan (measuring box) to honor the agreement. “The vow is sacred that those who don’t abide by it will die after a few days,” he explained, adding the mouth

P epsi t ur ns over classroom in Balubal Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO, Lifestyle Editor
FIRST graders at Balubal Elementary School, situated at a far-flung barangay in Cagayan de Oro City, received their very first gift for the school year. It’s no less than a one-classroom building! Principal Loreto Llaban said that the new P40,000 classroom building used to be a dilapidated stage. When officials from the Cagayan de Oro Plant of Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. visited their campus sometime late last school season to ink a Brigada Eskwela partnership, they noticed the
old stage. Upon conferring with Llaban, they also learned that the enrollment for AY 2015-16 would swell because of Balubal being a relocation site. Right there and then, Pepsico officials decided to convert the stage into a one-classroom building for incoming first graders. Lo and behold, the pupils immediately used the classroom yesterday during their very first school day of the year after graduating from kindergarten a few months back. In fact, they were able to successfully
answer their first quiz which was to write their own names legibly. The students were so excited to be with new playmates at their new cool environment because Balubal is a naturally-ventilated place, being located at the foot of Carmen Hill. Llaban said that there are 55 pupils in each Grade 1 class and they hold classes six hours each weekday excluding lunch and two snack breaks. The donation of the classroom building is part of Pepsi-Cola’s corporate social responsibility as facilitated by the Cagayan de Oro Plant’s Bukluran Council. Starting this September, the Bukluran Council will initiate PepsiGla, a sixmonth feeding program for malnourished enrollees at Agusan Elementary School and Puerto Elementary School powered by Quaker Oats. Earlier in July, they’ll be having a mangrove planting
at a still to be determined location. Last March, they were able to collect 34 bags for their blood donation campaign held at the Plant office in Tinao, Agusan, this city. Last January, the plant was opened to the public for a one-day fun fair in celebration of the feast of the Santo Niño which is also considered as the patron for the company in this predominantly Catholic
country. Through Pepsi-Cola’s Bukluran Council, employees are empowered to extend a helping hand to the community for the projects the council deems relevant and urgent.

GSK Philippines rallies women to put on their power pout against cervical cancer MAK ATI CITY, PHILIPPINES—Every woman is at risk. Cervical cancer is a major problem for Filipino women: it is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among Filipinas, with seven dying of the dreaded disease every single day.1 What’s more worrying is that two in three Filipinas diagnosed with cervical cancer may die within five years. 2 Cervical cancer is a risk for women regardless of race, age, lifestyle or socioeconomic status. 3
Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells develop and spread in the cervix, the entrance between the vagina and the uterus. 4 The human papillomavirus (HPV), a very common virus, is the necessary cause of cervical cancer. It has been shown that 99.7 percent of cervical cancer patients are positive for HPV infection. 5 It is also estimated that up to 80 percent of women will be infected with HPV at some point in their lives. 6 While HPV is primarily
transmitted via sexual intercourse, skin-to-skin genital contact is also a recognized mode of transmission.7,8,9 Lifestyle changes can help prevent the development of cervical cancer, such as being conscientious about one’s sexual activities. Beyond regular consultations and pap smears by your OB-GYN, vaccines that protect against cancer-causing HPV are also now readily available. A risk regardless of age Based on a study of 307 women in Ontario, the incidence of cancercausing HPV infection is actually highest at the young ages of 15-19.10 The World Health Organization Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (WHO-SAGE) on Immunization reiterates the importance of getting young girls protected through HPV immunization before their first exposure to HPV (i.e. before sexual contact), as young as 9 years old.11,12 What about older women? The risk of persistent infection with cancer-causing HPV (which is necessary for cervical
cancer to develop) increases with age, and is highest when a woman is over 66 years old.13 Thus, screening is recommended starting age 21 to detect cervical abnormalities that precede actual cervical cancer.14 Vaccination remains to be recommended for older women to prevent new HPV infections. Power Over Cervical Cancer Leading research-based pharmaceutical company GSK continues to ramp up its cervical cancer awareness efforts this year with the patient—the woman— always in mind. In the Philippines, the Power Over Cervical Cancer campaign urges Filipinas to realize that they are empowered—that they can do something to prevent the disease from happening to them, so they don’t miss out on a colorful life ahead or leave their loved ones behind.
