United we stand; divided we fall

of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd. But it is sad to know that there people around us who are not interested to be in God’s flock. They separated from God intentionally. 1 John 2:19”They went out from us, but they were not really

of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us: Printing paid by: Edith Ranoa - Jordan and Crespina Ranoa - Bobong Balino– Bro.

End-October 2016 GIR Level Settles at US$85.75 billion

Improving the reading proficiency level of the students through the use of big books

The Gospel of Jesus Christ (November11, 2016-Friday) Luke 11:14-23”And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed. But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” Oth-

Aquino announced today.1 This level was lower by US$0.39 billion than the end-September 2016 GIR of US$86.14 billion due mainly to outflows arising from payments made by the National Government (NG) for its maturing foreign exchange obligations, foreign exchange operations of the BSP and revaluation adjust-

Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls: United we stand; divided we fall. This means that division is not from God but from devil. God wants us to be united in his flock under his care and guidance. John 10:16””I have other sheep, which are not

ments on the BSP’s gold holdings resulting from the decrease in the price of gold in the international market. These were partially offset by the reclassification of Renminbi-denominated accounts from non-reserve to reserve eligible assets and the NG’s net foreign currency deposits, along with the BSP’s income from investments abroad. The Monetary Board approved the inclusion of the Chinese Renminbi in the official international reserves of the BSP effective 13 October 2016 to ensure the availability of the said currency

to the banking system in consideration of the rising economic and financial importance of China. The end-October 2016 GIR level can cover 10.0 months’ worth of imports of goods and payments of services and income. It is also equivalent to 6.1 times the country’s short-term external debt based on original maturity and 4.4 1

times based on residual maturity.2 Net international reserves (NIR), which refer to the difference between the BSP’s GIR and total short-term liabilities, also decreased by US$0.39 billion to US$85.74 billion as of end-October 2016, compared to the end-September 2016 NIR of US$86.13 billion.

The final data on GIR are released to the public every 19th day of the month in the Statistics section of the BSP’s website under the Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS). If the 19th day of the month falls on a weekend or is a nonworking holiday, the release date shall be the working day nearest to the 19th. Short-term debt based on residual maturity refers to outstanding external debt with original maturity of one year or less, plus principal payments on mediumand long-term loans of the public and private sectors falling due within the next 12 months.

Common causes of student drop-out in schools By Mary Jane S. Pandita Kitaotao National High School

The non-stoppage of drop-outs in schools is among the problems experienced by the educational institutions. Hence, to address this, Department of Education implemented different interventions and educational programs in order to mend this problem. These dropping out activities are results of economic, societal and equity reasons, discouraging students to attend school. In an article, American authors Tyler and Lofstrom

stated that kind of student characteristics is one main factor. If a particular student performed poor in school and has low test scores during quizzes, course failure and grade retention, these will all discourage him to engage in classroom activities, and worse, drop out from school. Family unfavorable characteristics could also affect student performance. In some books, family characteristic is stated to be the strongest force that affects student’s interest in learning. For an instance, if a child belongs to a chaotic family,

then it will affect her emotionally which discourages him to attain education. Family’s socio-economic status is also a factor. This is due to parental education, kind of occupation and cost of income. Different researches revealed that most children belonging to low-income families opt to leave school and help their parents earn for a living. Drop-out is a product of several root problems. It is good that intervention activities have been initiated, encouraging these drop-out individuals to go back to school. Example of

these activities is creating classes which schedule fits their lifestyle, and as well helping them solve problems that hinder them to pursue education. This problem cannot be solved overnight. For a fact that DepEd is doing the best they can do to address and lessen the dropout rates, parents, student-governing bodies and even the community are encouraged to join the action towards minimizing the large number of dropouts through pulling these young people back to school.

BIG books are magnified or enlarged versions of children’s books, usually narratives and are considered to be one of the most effective ways of getting young children involved with print. Big books are tools for early reading instruction in English that have become wellestablished over the past few years. Research shows that there is a strong link between reading success and early reading experiences at home. Enlarged texts allow all the children in the classroom to see and react to the words and pictures on the page as the teacher reads aloud,

Handling Complex Personalities in the Classroom By Joelyn C. Mandagway Kitaotao National High School

School is one of the usual places where people of all personalities converge. It might sound cliche, but it is true that conflicts will arise once personalities of different kinds would clash. This problem of varied attitude and behaviour does not just affect students. The one who will be affected the most is the class teacher, because it is her job to put up with these varying kinds of students. But of course, it is up to her on how she will manage her students.

Here then enters the application of different management styles. There are teachers who choose to be strict with students. They are known with the term “terror” teachers, as they are determined to impose authority and control in class. This is actually one strategy for classroom management, where it would be easy to direct students with what the teacher wants them to do. There are also educators who adopts multiple management. This means that a teacher recognizes that her class is composed of

diverged personalities; each one’s behaviour is unique from the other and thus, there is a need for her to adjust to each one. In other words, if there are ten students in class, then there are ten unique people and thus, she is required to apply ten kinds of management style in order to teach them effectively. Example for this is managing silent type of students, or in Personality Development term - the Introvert kind. This type of students are mostly secretive, shy, not sociable and hence, a challenge to educators. It is because students cannot

express their selves easily, making venues of communication something to be attended to. In most circumstances, what teachers could do is to understand them and communicate in a way that is comfortable for the student, because otherwise, sharing ideas and successful learning is hard to attain. It is normal for a classroom to have a complex environment. It is just up to the teacher on what teaching method or management style she will be adopting to easily inject learning and discipline among her students.

a vital similarity to the shared reading between parent and child. A number of events occur during bedtime story reading or lap reading sessions that promote early literacy. The child not only gains experience with handling books but also with the reading process itself. When confronted with isolated aspects of the reading process such as letter recognition, the child may sense where the skill fits in the context of the whole reading process. Also significant are the informal discussions about the stories which enrich the child’s comprehension of a variety of topics and builds up his/ her scheme or background knowledge.

Quality Corn Achievers town, agri-extensionists Cagayan de Oro City – For their meritable efforts of promoting and developing the corn industry throughout the country, the Department of Agriculture (DA) is slated to confer honors to one corn producing municipality and seven agricultural extensionists from Northern Mindanao. Now on its 4th year, the agency through its search for the Quality Corn Achievers (QCA) Awards, customarily acknowledges the vital role of the local government units (LGUs) in fortifying

grassroots level participation to ensure increased corn quality and production. Surfacing as national winners from region 10 is the corn-producing municipality of Don Carlos, Bukidnon while its municipal agriculturist Merlyn C. Los Baños and agricultural extension worker (AEW) Purita L. Magaway were hailed as outstanding agriextensionists. Rounding up the list of laudable AEWs are Engr. Richard B. Leono, Joan Marie A. Diola

and Ma. Jorgen P. Soriano from Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, and Neptali C. Ambos and Kristina P. Soria of Lantapan, Bukidnon. As luminaries, they have been chosen for actively being at the forefront in implementing corn-related programs, projects and services at the local level in close collaboration with the DA’s Corn Program. For this year, the eight QCAs from the region are just among the nation’s commendable 5 corn producing provinces, 5 provincial

agriculturists, 4 provincial corn coordinators, 19 corn-producing municipalities/ cities, 19 municipal/city agriculturists, 14 municipal/city corn coordinators and 100 AEWs. As incentive for emerging as the outstanding corn-producing town, Don Carlos, Bukidnon shall receive Php2 million-worth project grant in the form of infrastructure, farm equipment, post-harvest facilities and machinery or other relevant projects. Meanwhile, Los Baños

and Magaway shall each earn Php45,000 and Php30,000 cash prizes for coming forth as honorees for the outstanding municipal agriculturist and AEW category, respectively. On one hand, Leono and Diola shall also be conferred with cash incentives amounting to Php30,000 while Ambos, Soriano and Soria shall receive Php20,000 each for being recognized as outstanding AEW honors. Further, half of NorMin’s victors were dubbed as Hall of Famers for

consecutively bagging thrice the award in the same category, including Don Carlos, Bukidnon, Los Baños, Magaway, Leono and Diola, thus entitling them additional monetary award and projects. All of the awardees are scheduled to attend the awarding rite during the 12th Philippine National Corn Congress on November 15-18, 2016 at The Farm, Carpenter’s Hill, Koronodal City, South Cotabato. # (JLOlson, DARFO 10)

Gov’t eyes speedy assistance to typhoon victims ed out that the climate fund will not be used to pay for damage incurred by climate-vulnerable countries. Instead, it will be allotted for projects. As to the signing of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission, the President on Monday, Nov. 7, has signed an Executive Order creating an expanded Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) in an attempt to make the peace process in Mindanao more inclusive, Abella said. The new BTC will have 21 members from the previous 15 members tasked to

draft the enabling law in establishing a Bangsamoro government in Mindanao, Abella pointed out. Under the BTC, eleven of the members will come from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), including the chairman of the BTC. Ten of its members will be nominated by the government. Three of the government’s nominees will be from the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). The BTC is expected to submit the draft law to Congress in the middle of the next year, Abella said. (PND)

The Duterte administration is exerting efforts in preparing and providing speedy delivery of aids and distribution of employment shelter assistance to victims of calamities, a top Macalanan official said. Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella made this statement to Malacanan reporters in a press briefing on Nov. 8 as the country commemorates the third anniversary of the Supertyphoon Yolanda. “We celebrate the triumph of the human spirit, the human community, the Filipino people and the

survivors and all those who stood with us, all the nations who helped us get back on our feet, the agencies, the organizations, and all who pitched in, “ he said. Abella described how the country and communities devastated by typhoon Yolanda are living examples of what can be achieved when everyone work together. Concerned agencies, he said , are sending guidelines to facilitate speedy delivery of various forms of assistance to victims of calamities. “Yolanda brought misery and grief to our people, but

it has likewise provided us with many lessons in our pre- and post-disaster response. On the part of the government, this ordeal taught us to exercise tapang at malasakit,” he said. Politics and disasters, Abella noted, is always a bad mix. “So we will have none of that in this administration,” he added. He called on the nation to continue to stand and work together and carry on to show genuine care and compassionate service for Filipinos. In the same briefing, Abella revealed that Presi-

dent Rodrigo Duterte will uphold the Paris agreement which seeks to cap the rise of global temperature resulting from climate change. Abella explained that the President vowed to sign the agreement because it was a unanimous vote for his Cabinet. He mentioned the President’s warning that although the agreement is a binding treaty, it does not have sanctions to hold countries accountable. He said bigger and industrialized nations could violate it and the same time could not be forced to pay for damages. He also point-

ICT pushed to ease congestion

The national government underscored the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in easing traffic congestion in Metro Manila and other highly urbanized areas in the country. In his mess age v i a teleconference at the first ICT Summit, Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said ICT “can provide the necessary intervention” in easing traffic congestion in

the metropolis. Abella said traffic congestion impedes the mobility of people, goods and services and threatens the livability of the country’s cities. “For example, employees can telecommute, instead of physically travelling and thereby help unclog blocked traffic arteries,” Abella said, noting that telecommuting refers to teleworking, tele-presence, tele-learning.

“Through teleworking, the employee utilizes communications and I.T. solutions, so he or she can work from home or an alternative worksite as they would in the traditional workplace,” Abella said. “Through telepresence, small groups can have face-to-face meetings through video conferencing and remote presence technology,” he added. As for tele-learning, See congestion, page B7

The 70 genders: DepEd CDO raises the sensitivity issue on GAD By DARLENIE G. TULANG GAD Coordinator West City Central School Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City

It is mind-boggling but there are more than 70 genders. Not just male and female; and not even male, female, and homosexual but 70 different variants of gender - this according to the lecture presented by Marita Castillo Pimentel, GAD resource speaker from the National GAD Resource Pool of the Philippine Commission on Women, during her two-day lecture on Gender Sensitivity Training under the Gender and Development (GAD) program on November 4 -5, 2016.. In the training organized by DepEd of the Division of Cagayan de Oro – spearheaded by Dr. Reynaldo E. Manuel Jr., CESE, Assistant to the Schools Division Superintendent - teachers and GAD coordinators of the division gathered at Hotel Koresko in Pueblo de Oro to further learn that now, more than ever, people need to raise the level of awareness and sensitivity in terms of gender roles, gender equality, respect, and acceptance in the face of this changing and growing information about gender and its related issues and concerns. This training program of the Department of Education centered on three main goals that include improving understanding of national

mandates on Gender and Development (GAD), increasing positive values on gender fair teaching, and enhancing appreciation of GAD work in schools. As teachers and school GAD coordinators, the participants are challenged to act on the goals and serve as instruments of gender sensitivity, equality and acceptance in their respective schools and community. They are provoked into action, to challenge the existing system of “gendered” labeling in terms of gender roles and expectations and to instill in peoples’ consciousness, especially among students, that talk about gender and gender sensitivity, according to Pimentel, is not a war of the sexes, nor being anti-male, but rather about treating a man and a woman equally, regardless of gender and preference. In schools, gender sensitivity can be an issue with learning and instructional materials produced, distributed, and used by students. Attention is required when using certain textbooks and other devices that continue to promote male-dominance, what Pimentel describes as “gendered,” when it shows boys in traditionally-accepted leading roles as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and managers while girls are depicted in supporting and nurturing roles as mothers, teachers, nurses, or caregivers. While it is not entirely a a repulsive idea to be in a nurturing role,

it inadvertently sends off a message that boys will grow up becoming leaders in the society and girls relegated as followers. Likewise in schools, gender is practiced when students are allowed to wear clothing of their preference and not punished or humiliated for doing so; and if hypothetically a male student chooses not to wear a shirt in coming to school, the right response is to give the student a shirt and ask him to get inside the classroom, not to drive him away or refuse him entry simply because he is shirtless. Schools are also called upon to keep a balancing act between upholding its policies and respecting the rights of children when it comes to gender identity and preference and gender expression. When a male student for example, identifies himself as female and expresses himself with feminine qualities and interests, he has every right to do so without judgment or censure by school authorities. His feminine expressions do not negate his right to good, quality education. He is just one of the 70 or so genders identified – all equal partakers of human rights to dignity and equality. As purveyors of knowledge and lifelong teachings, it will serve our school systems, administrators, and teachers best to embrace this idea of the 70.

Abella said public schools and government learning centers can allow students and faculty to hold classes and school activities without being physically together on campus. “This is especially helpful for community-based learning, TESDA courses and continuing adult education,” he said. Abella meanwhile lauded the efforts of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in facilitating and accelerating public access to the internet by expanding the broadband structure throughout the country, ensuring connectivity and lower cost for high-speed remote and mobile access. The Palace official likewise underscored the importance of public-private partnership and a public policy-enabling environment in promoting the concept of telecommuting. “For example, the private sector in partnership with the government sector aim to develop and provide ICT solutions, lasting systems, ICT-based traffic management, parking management, carpooling, installation of high-speed Wi-Fi zones along congested roads,” Abella said. “These incremental efforts mitigate the traffic crisis as government continues to expand and improve the road network and public transport of the country,” he said.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Highlighting the gains that the 3rd International River Summit (IRS) will bring to the rehabilitation and protection of our country’s major river basins, the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDa) called on key stakeholders to be part of the initiative set on 24-26 November 2016 at the Pryce Plaza Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City. Interested participants are advised to pre-register online at www.3rdirscdo. com. Lourdes Enjambre of MinDa said the summit is a venue to share best practices

MARAWI CIT Y, Lanao del Sur -- The chief of the Environment Department in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DENRARMM) said his office will sue local government units (LGUs) in the region that do not comply with Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. Secretary Kahal Kedtag of DENR-ARMM said LGUs in the region that do not implement provisions of RA 9003 will be charged administratively based on Republic Act 7160, or the Local Government Code of 1991. “We appeal to the LGUs to comply with the law. We need to impose the law,” Sec. Kedtag said. He added his office will coordinate with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG-ARMM) to compel LGUs to implement the provisions of RA 9003. DENR-ARMM also encouraged the region’s LGUs to provide and submit their comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) as mandated by RA 9003. The law defines the

on the implementation of programs and projects, not just here in the country but across the globe. Various ambassadors and international agency partners have already committed to speak in the plenary sessions to include Russia, Netherlands, Bangladesh, United Kingdom, and Australia, among others. Enjambre said this is a good learning experience for the local chief executives, environmental officers and planning officers as they also gather support from the non-government organizations (NGOs) and academe. A mini-exhibit of the eight major river basins in

Mindanao, to include the Mandulog River Basin will be among the highlights of the IRS summit which aims to showcase notable river management initiatives to some 1000 expected delegates. The event is co-hosted by the local government of Cagayan de Oro City, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council, and the League of Cities of the Philippines. MinDa, for its part, performs an oversight function in all Mindanao river basins, attuned to its “Mindanao Nurturing Our Waters Program.”

In an interview with Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Enjambre also reported that all river basins in Mindanao have already crafted their respective master plan, while it’s only in Butuan City that’s pending for approval by the Regional Development Council (RDC) but is targeted to be passed within the year. She said that while they are eyeing to institutionalize the budget that will support to the priority programs and projects identified in the protection and preservation of the watersheds, they are at the same time hopeful for the creation of an executive order to bridge the gap.

policy framework, institutional mechanisms, and mandate for LGUs to achieve a 25% waste reduction target through an integrated SWMP based on the 3Rs – reduce, re-use and recycle. Based on a study, the country generated 10.6 million tons of solid waste in 2012 and that volume is expected to double in 2025. This is the reason why solid waste management is considered a major environmental issue by the government. In a two-day learning event on ecological solid waste management conducted by the Environment and Management Bureau (EMB)-12, which

was also participated by EMB-ARMM in Cotabato City, the National Solid Waste Management Council ordered all LGUs to submit their 10-year SWMP not later than November 30 this year. Section 50 of RA 9003 said local government officials and officials of government agencies concerned who fail to comply with and enforce rules and regulations promulgated relative to the solid waste management law shall be charged administratively in accordance with RA 7160 and other existing laws, rules and regulations. “Waste mismanagement has serious environmental

effects (and that resulted in) the passage of RA 9003; we need to implement it the soonest possible,” Sec. Kedtag said. The department can provide technical assistance to LGUs in the formulation and implementation of their SWMPs, said the DENR-ARMM chief. (BPI/PIA-10)
