“Matiwasay na Lipunan”

By Mary Vince Niere – Gumahad , Teacher 1 Bulua National High School

There is always something exciting about teaching. I always feel that before I go to the class. No boring moments for me.

Students are here because they know there is something fun and good inside the class. And I know that I am part of that something fun and good, even exciting.

As I prepare my activity, I plan of something different and interesting. (Another way to kill a cat maybe, because as they say, there are many ways to kill it). We all want our students to learn. But sometimes we miss the essential part and that is how to make learning challenging and enjoyable. (I still hate trigonometry because I was forced to solve it without understanding what I was doing.) So I plan of something worth doing.

Aha! It’s nutrition month! It’s July. People are talking about food. What food tastes good, what food contains good cholesterol, what food makes us fat, food that causes gallstones, and what food makes us beautiful? Wow! So let’s talk about your favourite food. Gee, I got most hands up. Students were eager to talk about their favourite food. They were happy talking about it. I saw a shy boy at the back. He saw me and he smiled. I saw he exaggerated his lips, and I got it perfectly!

“Sinugba!”. That’s it! Before its time to say goodbye class, I asked them to bring a recipe of their favourite food. A girl asked, “ Ok lang dessert, Maam?” ( Is it alright if I bring a recipe for dessert, Maam?) “Of course, Girl!”

I see most students early the following day. After the Morning Prayer, most of them were holding their recipes. I see the eagerness in their eyes. When I asked students to raise the hands of those who have recipes, most hands raised up.

Only those who were absent yesterday weren’t able to bring recipe.

We talked about what a recipe contains. It contains ingredients and procedure. We recalled about our previous activity.

We have identified what makes a peaceful community. That a peaceful community needs to have people who understand each other, show respect, and they must be law abiding. Can we possibly combine the two activities? Can we make a recipe of a peaceful community? “Will it be possible?” “Can we give it a try?”

Silence… Students were quite. They looked at their recipes.

They start scribbling. I see them writing. I see them giving a try. I looked around, checked what they were writing. Wow! They are my miracles! They think they can do it and so they are doing it! I am overwhelmed!

And because my heart overflows, I want to share my joy with you. That you may be believe that you can do it. That you will believe that others can do it. Believe and it will happen!

Here’s one of the best works I got! May you be blessed reading this.

NFA warehouseman faces raps for missing 1,800 sacks of rice

By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN-Caraga Regional Editor

S

AN Francisco, Agusan del Sur - The slipping out of at least 1,800 sacks of rice from the warehouse of National Food Authority in Bayugan City was solely t h e h an d iwor k of t h e warehouse supervisor, an NFA official disclosed.

“He did it on his own and he will face administrative and criminal charges,” said NFA provincial manager Gil Tabor.

Tabor said a special inventor y committee composed of staff from NFA regional office and operatives from Criminal Investigation Detection Group is still investigating the case of the missing sacks of rice which are local stocks from the produce of farmers in the province.

Tabor said the suspect, Melvin Pacaña, refused to talk to him although

he already made a verbal statement to Senior Inspector Dick Cale, Caraga police CIDG chief, admitting released more or less 1,800 sacks of NFA rice worth P2.4 million to “unknown traders” without proper authorization.

The committee however made a bag-to-bag inventory and found out there was an actual 1,890 sacks of rice that went missing.

Last July 18, Cale and

officials of NFA Agusan del Sur inspected about 9,000 sacks of NFA rice only to find out that 1,800 sacks went missing.

The police then discovered that the missing rice sacks were replaced with 133 pieces of decoy wooden crates covered with empty rice sacks.

The police then discovered that the missing rice sacks were replaced with 133 pieces of decoy wooden crates covered with empty rice sacks.

Tabor said they will deploy a team to conduct a”palengke watch” in the public markets in t he province who will be tasked to monitor rice dealers and even make a daily inventory to the number of sacks left in their stocks before they will close the stores.

“It is more likely that the unscrupulous trader wou ld s el l t he r ice at high commercial prices to the detriment of the NFA Agusan del Sur manager Gil Tabor explains to local reporters on the case of missing scaks of NFA rice consumers,” Tabor said.

The 21st Century Mathematics Teacher

By Dante M. Alboroto MT-I Placida Mequiabas National High School Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte

Mathematics evolve with time. As seconds pass by, a lot of mathematical theories and laws are introduced. This requires a continuous researches and studies, especially among teachers. Changes are permanent and a 21st century teacher should be resilient to these changes, a lot more when he focuses in Mathematics.

So, what should be the traits of a Mathematics teacher practicing his profession in the 21st century?

knowledge economy, especially in Math. These are critical thinking and problem solving, effective communication and collaboration.

In order for a teacher to be successful in enveloping such skills, he must cultivate a classroom culture where students understand that autonomy and collaboration are equally important.

Teachers words and actions should honor risktaking, active investigation and clearer communication, so that students will come to see themselves as competent mathematicians who thrive on cognitive challenges.

Teachers should also have the ability to nurture students so that they would be nourished and soon rely on their own reasoning to solve future problems encountered inside and outside the classroom.

Teachers should as well serve the role in promoting effective mathematical discourse in the classroom, which requires students to organize their thoughts, formulate arguments, listen to and consider other students’ positions, and communicate their own positions.

Mathematics is a critical subject that requires more attention and time. These tasks are more complex especially in this modern time. As the same, teachers should be teachers of the 21st century.

TESTIMONY OF A WINNING COACH

By Glenn Sucia Noguerra, Teacher–II

Andrew Carnegie, a Famous American business magnate once said that “ You can’t push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb himself.”

This is the principle that I applied in our Oroquieta City Sepak Takraw Jr team who was able to bring home the gold medal during the Palarong Pambansa 2014 at Laguna. I together with the school officials and stakeholders did the pushing, but the purpose driven athletes are more than willing to be pushed upwards the ladder of sports.

In order to be an effective and winning coach, I did the following not so secret steps: 1. Expressing one’s faith in God. Before every activity/ games, players are re-

quired to pray. They are taught that no amount of practice or expertise in the game can surpass the power and will of God. 2. Respect Teach them about the value of respect. They should know that respect to elders and even to rivals should be seen in an athlete. Teach them not to underestimate anybody.

3. Set a goal Provide an irresistible positive challenge that will drive them to perform their best and strive to win.

4. Constant practice Daily practice which includes all the necessary skills needed in the game should be done religiously.

5. Exposure Tune up games with older players and other expert teams will provide

them with the skills and confidence they need to face any challenge.

6. Care for them Show them that you as a coach is concerned for their safety and their welfare. Letting them feel that you are their second parent will do the trick.

7. Equip yourself A coach needs to have a thorough knowledge of the game. One should undergo trainings, seminars, and inputs from friends who are coaches.

By following these steps I did get positive results. Our team never failed to bring home medals from the NMRAA, MILO OLYMPICS, and even from the Palarong Pambansa. I was able to help in pushing them up because they are more than willing to be pushed upward. To God be the glory!

THE filing of impeachment complaints in the House of Representatives by the nationalist bloc from that chamber supported by organizations espousing nationalist ideology is viewed by those opposed to it as premature.

Impeachment, we should remember, is a political mechanism enshrined in the fundamental law of the land aimed at removing from office certain elective and appointive officials of the land.

The elective officials who can be removed from office through the process of impeachment are the president and vice president.

Among the appointive officials whose term can be cut short through impeachment are the justices of the Supreme Court and the heads of constitutional bodies such as the Commission on Elections, Commission on Audit and the Civil Service Commission.

The process, as mentioned above, is political in the sense that the impeachment is done by the Lower House and the impeachment trial is undertaken by the Senate sitting as the impeachment court. The first successful impeachment process was that of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Then President Joseph Estrada was the first president to be impeached by the House of Representatives and tried by the Senate as the impeachment court.

But the trial was not successfully concluded because the senators serving as the

Premature?

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II impeachment court judges and the congressmen serving as the impeachment prosecutors at one point during the trial walked out from the process.

Estrada was forced to abandon the office of the president due to political pressure mounted by the people themselves through what was known then as People Power II. The impeachment process starts with the filing of an impeachment complaint in the House of Representatives. However that complaint must be endorsed first by any member of that chamber. The Lower House can’t have jurisdiction over any impeachment complaint until it is endorsed by at least one of its members.

The endorsement requirement is the stamp signifying the political nature of the process because the endorsing House member becomes the complainant before his peers when such impeachment complaint is tackled by the House either through its justice committee or the plenary itself.

Once it gets endorsed by House members constituting a required percentage of its total membership, the official subject of the

complaint is thus impeached and the complaint is sent to the Senate for the trial proper. The trial in the Senate is another stamp showing the political nature of the process.

Will the current impeachment complaints duly endorsed by certain House members against President Aquino for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the constitution gets the nod of the House of Representatives and thus be transmitted to the Senate for trial? Many observers are not that optimistic in this regard. The movers of the complaint, however, remain hopeful it’ll gain support in the House.

Those who are not very optimistic the complaint will ever prosper anchor their belief in the fact that Aquino still enjoys popular support by the citizenry and in the two-chamber Philippine Congress. The politicians in those chambers still look at Aquino as the political force to reckon with even up to this point.

This view on Aquino is not just based on the survey which shows his popularity rating is still a little over 50 percent even with the massive propaganda

against him as a result of his sponsorship of the very unpopular Disbursement Acceleration Program that the Supreme Court struck as unconstitutional.

The political capital Aquino had invested since his meteoric ascension to power in 2010 such as his daang matuwid mantra shown by his personal dislike for the use of wangwangs by any government official including himself still reverberates in the mind of a grateful citizenry. His fight against corruption that many of his foes say is selective against those who do not belong to his Liberal Party only is still viewed by many as beneficial to the nation.

Even his administration’s land reform program that many experts say is chaotic in many respects gained respect from the citizenry especially after he allowed the parceling out of Hacienda Luisita to its legitimate tenants. Before the actual distribution of that large estate owned by his mother’s family, many did not believe Hacienda Luisita will ever be parceled out under his administration.

These are just few of the political stock stacked in Aquino’s favor that made the impeachment filed against him ending up being viewed by many as premature.

Whether we agree to this or not is a different matter.

Could it mean that I will accept an individual where they are: their position in life, their looks, their thoughts, and their actions? By living my life to be respectful of others means that I live in a way that upholds others as worthy human beings. To enable freedom in others could mean that by my example of being respectful that others are given the space, freedom and encouragement to choose and explore: when, where, and how they will grow and improve. We each walk a different path in life, yet respect and love unites us all as one. Notice how much respect and love you allow into your life and into the lives of others.

in the workplace will place more students in problemsolving jobs, which science is well-suited for.

In an article published online, it mentioned that from the young to the old, people constantly examine information and discern its truth. The ability to accomplish this with accuracy using science can make an individual successful.

The internet is a great example. Anyone can put

false information on the internet and make it look truthful. Students need to be able to discern the difference between truth and fiction.

Science might be composed of complex lessons that are found hard to understand. However, every learner should understand that complexity says its importance and reason why it should be taught in schools.

The importance of Science to the world Science is one of known complex subjects in both elementary and higher years.

Several students find it tough. However, fact be told, Science is more than its name.

This subject is a method, process, procedure, and system used to study the physical world. It is also tolerated as a necessity because it makes our lives more comfortable. It is also fun, exciting and interesting to work to.

For example, in school setting, science activities are great help in keeping students engaged. The discovery they found through Science will bring rewards to them as adults. Learning Physics will teach them to drive safer. Exploring Chemistry will help them cook better and as well as Biology which will entice them why they should live healthy lifestyle.

Science will not take a stand on an issue. Scientists ask questions about how the world works then gather data to answer the question. Good science can only happen when an answer to a question is backed up by the data from many scientists.

The Scientific Method and problem solving behind scientific investigations is extremely important to students. For an instance, the increasing reliance on computers and robots to minimize physical labor

Airport parking fee charges start August 1

Z

AMBOANGA CITY - The Zamboanga International Airport (ZIA), effective August 1, will start charging for the utilization of its parking area.

Airport manager Danilo Abareta made the formal announcement during the regular press briefing held at City Hall.

“Pursuant to Authority Order No. 140-14 and Memorandum Circular No. 12-14, the Zamboanga International Airport under the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines will start collecting a parking fee for cars and motorcycles that will use the airport’s parking area,”

Abareta told members of the media.

According the airport manager, is in consonance with the authority’s drive

to increase the revenue from the city’s airport.

Abareta stressed, however, that the order to collect parking fees applies to all CAAP-controlled airports in the country.

The rates will be P20 for cars and other four wheel vehicles for the first 2 hours and additional P10 for the next succeeding hours and P10 for motorcycles for the first two hours and additional P5 for the next succeeding hours.

Based on the CAAP Circular, all government vehicles (red plates), drop off or pick-up passengers/ guests that did not park for more than 10 minutes are exempted from the

parking fee.

The air por t of f icial likewise apprised members of the media on the ongoing improvements made at the city airport, particularly the construction of new restrooms inside the building. The restoration of lampposts at the parking area has also been implemented, he added.

To f ur t her improve the safety and security inside the airport, Abareta shared, airport administration is closely coordinating with police authorities and security agencies for the ejectment of squatters inside the airport. (Claudine Uniana)

U.S. military to rehab airport runway in Zamboanga City ZAMBOANGA CITY – The United States Armed Forces through the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines (JSOTF-P) is set to repair the Zamboanga International Airport (ZIA) runway.

Danilo Abareta, ZIA manager, said the repair works at the 1.8 kilometer runway will start by the first week of August and is expected to be completed in two to three weeks time.

Abareta said the repair works will be undertaken by Filipino contractors but will be under the supervision of the JSOTF-P. He, however, said he had no idea how much the project would cost.

“We have not discussed about the cost of the rehabilitation,” he said “Definitely, it will be the whole runway that will be rehabilitated,” Abareta said, although he cited that “the scope of work will be the filling of potholes” with asphalt.

He said the repair works will not affect incoming and outgoing flights.

He said ZIA has an average of 12 in-bound flights and 12 out-bound flights.

ZIA served flights to and from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Jolo and Sanga-

Sanga (Tawi-Tawi).

Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar earlier disclosed that she has requested the JSOTF-P to help rehabilitate the runway since they have been using the airport for more than 10 years.

The JSOTF-P had been using the airport since 2002 during the joint military exercise dubbed “Balikatan 021.”

Abareta said the U.S. forces under the JSOTFP used big planes like the C-17 “Globemaster” in ferrying personnel and equipment.

The biggest plane they have used so far is a Russian-made plane known as the Antonov An-124-100 Ruslan.

A handful of American forces are still stationed in this city even as the JSOTF-P was recently downsized.

They assist Filipinos troops in fighting terrorism through training and intelligence gathering.

Abareta said the rehabilitation will be of great help since it would minimize maintenance expenses of the government.

Meanwhile, he said the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines is set to undertake asphalt overlay of the runway next year.

STAR program aims to empower 5 million women in the whole world by 2020, in which the Philippines will contribute 200,000 women.

“Since 2012, we have a total of 21,150 women sari-sari store and food stall owners, who graduated in our program,” he said.

Tamano also said that the program will not give materials such as cooler or refrigerator to the recipients, instead it will give them the knowledge to sustain their business.

“The real empowerment is not by giving them the coolers or other materials from the company, instead, we will give them the knowledge and skills to make them succeed in their own business,” he added.

Tamano disclosed that according to their data on their previous trainees, the average income of the sarisari store owners grew up to 40%.

Regional Director Gaspar Gayona of the TESDAXI said that the program will create leader-workers not follower-workers.

“The program will improve their business skills as this will change their perspective in journeying towards their success,” Gayona said.

For Davao del Norte, the STAR program enrolled 1,000 sari-sari store owners, who are members of the Tagum City Council of Women, Inc (TCCWI).

Alma Uy, chairperson and president of the TCCWI, said that she heard and read about the STAR program and since then, expressed her eagerness to the Coca-Cola management to bring to Davao del Norte.

May Ann Casinto, one of the STAR trainers, said that aside from gender sensitivity program, the program will teach the women in managing a business, simple bookkeeping, basic customer service and even inventory management.

Casinto is one of the eight TCCWI members, who undergone Trainer’s Training in Manila by Coca-Cola

and TESDA. She graduated as valedictorian in their batch during the training.

Uy said that the 1,000 beneficiaries will be trained in weekly schedule from August to November this year.

She said that she envisions the women in the society to be of help to the government and not to be reliant on it.

As part of the access to resource, the Coca-Cola partnered with the First Community Cooperative, to provide micro-financing to qualified trainees with peer mentoring services.

‘Martilyo Gang’ strikes in Oro

Biblical reflection

By C ​ ​heng​ Ordonez, Associate Editor, and Gerry Lee Gorit, Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Fourteen hours after the incident last night, M Lhuillier is still closed and idle, in contrast to the scene before 7:00 p.m. Tuesday night when armed men -- their actions calculated and synchronized -- barged inside the mall and ransacked the jewelry shop situated inside the it, situated at Masterson Avenue, Upper Carmen, this city.

It was around 7:10 p.m., and people were shopping, some were eating and others were playing inside this three-storey mall, which span can be compared to the same mall in Las Pinas in Metro Manila or in Iloilo in the Visayas and a little smaller compared to Davao’s.

But the incident last night was different from the others.

People were running here in there, when armed men, who were suspected to be members of the “Martilyo Gang,” forcibly disarmed the lady guard of M Lhuillier and ransacked the jewelry store.

Sr. Supt. Graciano Mijares, chief of the Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (COCPO), said the hold uppers could reach up to 10 -- four of them barged into the jewelry shop, two dis-manned the guards at the entrance and exit, some played as look-outs and the others were in the waiting single motorcycles at the parking lot.

Account from witnesses told the police that the armed men smashed three jewelry display counters and took their contents into each bag they were all four were carrying.

To disrupt countermovements from mall secu-

of society and a forum of discussion, among other functions that strengthen democracy.

He said relevant information provided by the media greatly helped build a culture of accountability in government and enabled the constituents to exercise their right to know and better enjoy their freedom of speech, among other constitutional rights.

The new PIO chief said this has inspired the province to sustain its support to media institutions in the province by way of programs and activities aimed at capacitating and professionalizing the media people and improving community journalism and information access.

Gabonada cited, for instance, Governor del the month of October as Rosario’s declaration of Provincial Press Freedom Month some eight years ago.

The annual event feted mediamen with a variety of activities that promote their welfare and development, such as new trends in media, basic and advance training on journalism, health and wellness, among other undertakings.

The PIO also sustained the 10-year old Kapihan sa Kapitolyo media forum, in collaboration with the Philippine Information Agency, among other initiatives that provide venue for members of the media and policymakers to engage in timely discussion on public policies, programs and issues, and the likes.

However, invoking the same transparency and accountability that the trimedia espouse, Gabonada underlined certain require-

rity and create commotion, the armed men fired shots, sending people to cover.

Store keepers inside the malls immediately closed their stores, keeping hold their customers inside their stores.

Mijares said it was procedural to “lock up” in that kind of incident to prevent the perpetrators from barging into other stores.

I took 20 t0 30 minutes before shop-goers who were locked in were allowed to go out, because the police had yet to clears the second and third floors of the mall, following reports that some of the hold-uppers were still up in the mall.

The police recovered nine spent shells from cal. .45 and .9mm pistol.

Mijares said he has already coordinated with manila to confirm data and pinpoint the suspects.

“The time of execution and manner by which they ransacked the jewelry store have similarities with the operation of the ‘Martilyo Gang’ in Metro Manila,” Mijares said.

He cannot say yet how much is the worth of the jewelry and cash that were taken away by the group.

Either the hammer and the pipe wrench was bought outside or from Ace Hardware inside the mall, Mijares said this should be investigated, since a tag from one of the tools was discovered and the time it was bought revealed to be at 4:00 pm.

“In others words, they (hold-uppers) were already inside the mall even before 4:00 p.m.,” Mijares surmised.

Another important revelation the ongoing joint investigation being done by the police and mall manage-

ment is that the execution of the armed men were synchronized -- by the time the four hold-uppers were inside the jewelry shop, two also held the guards at the entrance and exit at gunpoint, and still others have disarmed the guards with their short firearms and shotgun at the parking area.

The hold-uppers also took the firearms of the guards in their escape.

The lady blue guard of the pawnshop was injured after she was pistol whipped by one of the suspects.

People inside the mall panicked, most of them were trapped inside boutiques and stores whose management padlocked themselves in along with their customers until it was already clear and safe to go out the stores and the mall, using other exits aside from the one near where the incident occurred.

A pregnant woman needed medical assistance after the incident due to the tense situation she experienced.

Authorities cannot yet account the exact worth of jewelry and the amount of cash taken away, except for P12,000 inside one of the cash boxes, but estimates run up to millions worth of jewelry.

A cartographic sketch of one of the suspects have been produced and is being compared to the footage of “Martilyo Gang” members who were caught by CCTV in their operations in the Metro.

Police Supt. Adonis Lazo Mutya of the CIDMB unit said the mall has taken footage of the suspects and they are currently verifying if the suspects were involved in past incidents in the city.

ments they must comply to be able to legally transact with government offices, particularly in terms of ads placement and other dealings.

These include certain requisites set by the Commission on Audit (COA) and those applicable documents enumerated in the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PHILGEPS).

Gabonada further urged the media to maximize its influence in agenda-setting by pursuing developmental journalism in shaping the issues of the day.

Fire brigades were also organized at SEDA Hotel, N Hotel, Kingston Inn, Resonnance Inn, Queensland, Metro Bank, Puerto Community Hospital and CEPALCO. In an interview with The Power, FO1 Marfe Macasusi of the CDO Fire District said a fire brigade is composed of security, fire fighting, rescue, alarm and communication and medical teams.

According to FO1 Macasusi, a fire brigade must be organized in every company or institution with more than 50 employees.

This is a requirement before it can be issued with a Fire Safety Inspection Certificate, she said.

Training or upgrading of the skills of the fire brigade are done annually, she added. (ELB)

Attack S p ec i a l G o s pel of the day: Luke7:31-35(July24, 2014-Thursday) Luke 7:31-35-And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

But wisdom is justified of all her children: St. Jerome Biblical Commentary page137-the people of the gospel are “childish in attitudes” and cannot be understood since they accused and commented both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. In Latin terms, “argumentum adva culom” that means people are criticizing and opposing to the preachers. There are times that we are like these people because if we are hurt by the preaching, we automatically “attack” the preachers either Lay or Priest. In Hebrews 12:25-See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO.
