the Power of Artificial Intelligence for 21st Century Skills

BY: GODFREY ANTHONY T. SEROJALES Special Science, Teacher I Tagpangi National High School

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has the potential to revolutionize curriculum design and equip Filipino students with crucial skills needed in the 21st century. Through the utilization of AI technologies, educators can create personalized learning experiences that cater to the unique abilities and learning styles of individual students. This capability has been exemplified in a recent study conducted by Mitra et al. (2020). By analyzing data, AI algorithms can effectively identify knowledge gaps and provide targeted content, promoting self-paced learning and facilitating a deeper understanding of various subjects. Extensive research by Blikstein (2019) and Hung et al. (2020) further underscores the effectiveness of AI-powered tools in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills through engaging students in complex tasks and simulating real-world scenarios.

Another significant ad - vantage of integrating AI into education is its capacity to nurture creativity and innovation among students. AI-driven platforms, such as generative art and storytelling tools, serve as inspirational outlets for students, encouraging them to think creatively and explore new possibilities. This cultivates a mindset of innovation that is highly valued in today’s modern workforce.

Moreover, the integration of AI technologies contributes to the development of collaboration and communication skills among students. By connecting students and providing virtual platforms for teamwork, AI-powered tools facilitate collaborative learning environments. Additionally, features like chatbots and language translation tools effectively break down language barriers and enhance communication among diverse groups of students.

However, it is imperative for educators to address the challenges associated with the integration of AI. Ensuring unbiased algorithms and protecting data privacy are critical considerations. Prominent researchers such as Barocas and Selbst (2016) and Taddeo and Floridi (2018) emphasize the importance of implementing proactive measures to eliminate algorithmic biases and safeguard students’ sensitive information.

By responsibly embracing AI and effectively addressing these challenges, Filipino educators can effectively prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving world where 21st century skills are indispensable. The integration of AI-driven curriculum design presents transformative opportunities for education in the Philippines, empowering students with the necessary tools to excel in the 21st century and beyond. It is high time to harness the potential of AI as a catalyst for educational innovation and equip the next generation with the means to thrive in an everchanging landscape.

Water...

from page 1 ants...secure our ecosystem to ensure that we will have the needed water supply for the constantly growing economic activities in the city, be it in agriculture, manufacturing and trade…that we have lots of things to do with regards to sanitation…and we have experienced the pains of how vengeful the natural forces of water can bring us if we continue to fail the environment,” he further stressed.

In his presentation “Regional Water Demand Scenario” Engr.

Dexter S. Lo, founding director of Xavier Ateneo’s Engineering Resource Center (ERC) stressed the urgent need to note how the increasing rate of urbanization could accelerate water demand across the region.

Mr. Lo cited the need to forecast based on following factors which affect increasing urban water demand: demographics and land use, water supply and usage, and climate change. He also cited income, and other socio-cultural factors such as water/wastewater pricing, regulation, restrictions, knowledge and awareness, technical innovations, and the presence of water service companies, which could also affect water demand.

Northern Mindanao’s (Region X) projected water demand is expected to reach 368 million cubic meters (MCM) by 2045, based on the projected population of 1.871 million by that date, based on the UN metric of 120 liters per capita daily (lpcd) for urban and 60 lpcd, but does not include agriculture, which consumers the largest volume of water among all industry sectors, estimated at 75-80% of total consumptive demand in the country.

“Of our 2017 water use in Region X estimated at 37, 145 MCM annually based on awarded water permits, approximately 87% (32,355.38 MCM) is allocated for power generation categorized under non-consumptive use. Irrigation consumes the largest volume with 65% allocation; industrial sector 26%, and domestic sector only 5.7% or 4,798.94 MCM was allocated for consumptive use,” Mr. Lo said. However , he cautioned that the baseline data is from 2015, but increasing urbanization could alter the projections for 2045.

Water availability per province (cu.m./person/yr) as of 2015 population shows that Bukidnon enjoys the largest buffer with 7,020 cmpy with Lanao del Norte the only province indicating water stress at 1,373 cmpy vis a vis the UN standard of 1,700 cmpy.

Groundwater availability

While extensive and highly productive aquifers with high recharge potential in Region X can only be found around Cagayan de Oro, these same areas will be influenced by increasing temperature, decreased precipitation and increasing population density.

Mr. Lo said groundwater is important since it is easier to process for potability vs surface water which can be affected by precipitation which can make it more expensive to process.

Lanao del Norte and the coastal towns of Misamis Occidental have fairly extensive

BARAZAR DERAMPA, REPRESENTED BY HER MOTHER FARHANA TUGAYA BARAZAR, Petitioner, -versusTHE CIVIL REGISTRAR OF MARAWI CITY, LANAO DEL SUR, AND CIVIL REGISTRAR GENERAL OF THE PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY, (PSA), Respondent. x----------------------------------------------x –ORDER

Before this Court is a verified Petition for Correction of the Certificate of Live Birth of ABDUL HAFID BARAZAR DERAMPA under LCR Registry No. 2017-08152 as entered in the Records of the Local Civil Registrar of Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, which reads in part:

1. Petitioner MINOR ABDUL HAFID BARAZAR DERAMPA represented by his mother FARHANA TUGAYA BARAZAR, is Filipino, twelve years of age, and a resident of Brgy. Lilod Saduc, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur where he may be served with notices and other court processes;

2. Respondent City Civil Registrar of Marawi City, Lanao del Sur is the custodian of all records of birth in Marawi City whose office is located at the City Hall Compound Marawi City, Lanao del Sur where she may be served with summons and other court processes;

3. Respondent Civil Registrar General of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is impleaded as the central custodian of all records of birth in the country and may be served with notices, order and other court processes at the PSA, NSO Building, East Avenue, Diliman Quezon City;

4. Petitioner, who was born on February 14, 2010, is the first child among the children of spouses Farhana Tugaya Barazar, and Lala Musa Derampa, copy of the Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) with Registry Number 2017-08152 is hereto attached as Annex “A”;

5. When the parents of the petitioner filed and registered the COLB of the petitioner before the City Civil Registrar in Marawi City, they supplied correct and true entries as evidenced in the negative COLB issued by the Local Civil Registrar of Marawi City, copy of the COLB issued by the City Civil Registrar of Marawi City is hereto attached as Annex “B”;

6. However, when the parents of the petitioner went to PSA Iligan City to get the PSA COLB of the petitioner, they were shock when they saw that the entry in the father’s name of the petitioner is shown as “JAMAL BAYABAS MOHAMADALI” and the spelling of the surname of the petitioner is shown as “DIRAMPA”;

7. The parents of the petitioner, then and there, immediately complain before PSA Iligan City regarding the erroneous entry in the FATHER’s Name of the petitioner and the erroneous spelling of the surname of the petitioner;

8. But the PSA Iligan City advised them to go to the City Civil Registrar where they initially filed the petitioner’s COLB;

9. The parents of the petitioner went to the City Civil Registrar of Marawi City and complain as to why the entries in the Father’s Name of the petitioner entered as “JAMAL BAYABAS MOHAMMADALI” when it should be LALA MUSA DERAMPA” and the surname of the petitioner entered as “DIRAMPA” when it should be “DERAMPA”;

10. The City Civil Registrar of Marawi City advised the parents and productive aquifers with Interior towns having local and less productive aquifers, as do most of the towns in Bukidnon.

The western towns of Misamis Oriental have mostly local/ less productive aquifers except for the coastal areas of Laguindingan, Alubijid, EL Salvador, and Opol which have fairly to less extensive and productive aquifers with low to moderate, potential recharge.

The rest of Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin have rocks without any known significant, groundwater obtainable through drilled wells

Water resources potential and annual rainfall (mm)

Of the five provinces of Region X, Bukidnon enjoys the largest water potential 9,259 MCM surface water, 676 MCM ground water (GW) and 2,318mm annual rainfall, with Camiguin at the opposite range with 210 MCM surface, 15 MCM GW/1,937 mm annual rainfall.

Misamis Oriental has 3,126 MCM surface/228 MCM GW/1,535 mm AR; Misamis Occidental 1,813 MCM surface, 132 MCM GW and 1,670 mm AR; and Lanao del Norte 1,280 MCM surface, 120 MCM GW and 1,948 mm AR.

Citing the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report: Climate

Change 2021 which reports Climate Change Affecting World Regions (1950-2021), SouthEast Asia (including the Philippines) can expect hot extremes and heavy precipitation.

As a result, Region X will be warmer according to Pagasa, the Manila Observatory, and the USAID Be Secure Project, which is likewise affirmed by the Phil Climate Change Report 2020.

Potential Impacts on Water Resources

Thus, the expected hot extremes can result in the decline in precipitation and longer dry spells which can lead to water service disruption; while locations with increase in intense precipitation events pose a challenge to water management and flood control.

Further, Extreme Rainfall Events will increase dam siltation and reduce their useful lifetimes, while the increase in temperature will cause surge in energy demand while longer dry periods will reduce efficiency of power plants.

Adoption Options

Mr. Lo presented the summit with a comprehensive menu of adoption options including improving water supply, water quality and flood control.

“Development is necessary but we have to be conscious and conscientious of what we are doing, he urged. “ We can always integrate pockets of green like parks, retaining ponds, which can be used for business, without the need for resorting to big ticket infra projects like drainage canals, which are necessary but not the only solution which can give us a better chance. We can marry nature based with gray solutions, such as the restoration of our forest cover.”

“Para kanatong tanan nga ania karon dinhi, put in all the discussions the concerns of your communities, with regards to drinking water, to water sanitation, to water needed by all your economic activities and to activities of preserving your water resources,” Mayor Uy said.

“Look into development interventions that will tame the destructive forces of water and environmental preservation programs that will conserve and preserve our water resources. Ang dagan sa tubig, walay boundaries. Angayan lang nga mahisgutan usab kung asa magkatinabangay ang mga lungsod, siyudad ug lalawigan.”

In response, Clara Marie G. Elizaga, Vice President of Italpinas Development Corporation, an Italo-Filipino joint venture which has pioneered green architecture and engineering in its real estate projects in Cagayan de Oro, remarked how water sustainability has so far not resonated with most residents.

“Very few people understand water sustainability,” Ms. Elizaga noted. “We need to promote it across all sectors because as the city grows, the need for water grows, along with all the problems and issues which arise with urbanization.” of the petitioner to come back at a later time as they will try what they can do about the complain of the parents of the petitioner;

She added that while the private sector is already a step ahead in addressing water sustainability, she urged the LGUs to provide them with further options where they can actively participate in LGU projects with which they can tie-in their corporate social responsibility (CSR) as well.

11. When the parents of the petitioner went back to the City Civil Registrar of Marawi city, the latter just advised the former to file a petitioner(sic) for correction before the court;

12. Hence, herein Petitioner, represented by his mother, is left with no recourse but to seek judicial remedy for the correction of the erroneous father’s name shown in his COLB and the spelling of his surname;

13. To prove that the father of the petitioner is LALA MUSA DERAMPA, copy of the Certificate of Marriage of the parents of the petitioner with Registry Number 2021-5000324 is hereto attached as Annex “C”;

14. This petition is filed without the slightest intention to defraud or prejudice the government or any private entity; its ultimate purpose being to correct the erroneous entry as appears in the public records of the Civil Registry and thus make it reflective of the petitioner’s correct father’s name LALA MUSA DERAMPA and his correct surname DERAMPA.

It was the second time that a court order was served at the PMC administration building. The first was only received outside the wellsecured gate as the court sheriff was not allowed to get inside

Judge Rowena ApaoAdlawan, 1st vice executive judge and presiding judge of the Regional Trial Court in Davao City issued the TRO.

Villanueva has earlier said the move was to prevent him from performing his functions allegedly perpetrated by the company’s Australian partner X64 to eventually take over PMC from page 1

PMC accused Jeff McGlinn, managing director of Ten Sixty Four (ASX: X64) Limited, who holds 40 percent of PMC shares, as behind the moves to remove Villanueva.

Mahusay, who was installed by McGlinn to replace Villanueva as president claimed the latter continued to act as PMC president and member of the board of directors even if he already sold to Mahusay his shares of stocks with Philsaga Management and Holdings amounting to 125,000 common shares.

But Villanueva denied he sold his share of stocks to Mahusay, saying the documents were fabricated.

He said several lapses were found in the document, including the forged signature of the notary public, which Villanueva claimed is enough ground to file a case against Mahusay.

from page 2 tions deputy director Rafael Ragos recanted his testimonies last year, presiding judge Joseph Alcantara of Branch 204 said reasonable doubt was cast on the guilt of the 63-year-old de Lima, who has been under detention since February 2017.

“Under the circumstances of this case, the testimony of witness Ragos is necessary to sustain any possible conviction. Without his testimony, the crucial link to establish conspiracy is shrouded with reasonable doubt,” the court said.

The prosecution claimed proceeds from the sale of illegal drugs were delivered to de Lima in two tranches of PHP5 million on Nov. 24 and Dec. 15, 2012.

Ragos and intelligence agent Jovencio Ablen were initially presented as witnesses but the judge noted that only the former claimed knowledge of the supposed source of the money. (PNA)

How...

from page 4 when the so-called “First Quarter Storm” of January 1970 broke out.

It was soon followed by numerous rallies and demonstrations, sometimes turning into violence, carried out by militant groups seeking to destabilize and overthrow the government.

Such destabilizing incidents did not stop even after Marcos declared martial law in the entire country in September 1972, saying it was “a final recourse to combat two principal sources of dangers to society and the government – a rebellion mounted by a strange conspiracy of leftist and rightist radicals , and a secessionist movement supported by foreign parties.”

The destabilizing events continued to haunt the government, particularly after the assassination of former opposition Senator Benigno S. Aquino Jr. at the Manila International Airport upon his return from a three-year self-exile in the United States on Aug. 21, 1983.

With the seemingly unending disturbing events, Marcos was forced to call for a snap presidential and vice presidential elections on Feb. 7, 1986.

The polls proved to be very problematic, ending with both the administration and opposition candidates claiming victories during the vote canvassing.

The escalation of violence caused by such an impasse eventually forced the Marcos family to leave Malacañang after the so-called four-day People Power Revolt that ended on Feb. 25, 1986.

This in turn catapulted the widow of the slain former senator, Mrs. Corazon C, Aquino, to the presidency until June 30, 1992.

During the Cory administration, Barangay Bagong Silang was used by the National Housing Authority (NHA) as a relocation site for numerous informal settlers from Intramuros and other areas in Metro Manila, including those along Commonwealth Avenue in

Nurturing Learners’ Reading Ability

BY: CHARITY J. VILAN Pulot Elementary School District 9 Ozamiz City Division

Learning how to read is a necessary skill to be developed at an early stage. This is a vital tool to bridge all other learning areas. Thus, as teachers we need to inculcate towards our learners, the importance of reading in one’s life.

Reading improves our thoughts and develops our perspective. It keeps the mind more active and creative. The importance of reading cannot be neglected and should always be nurtured.

In a classroom setting, it is expected that differences really occur. Some are fast readers while others are in the opposite. They may differ from one another but as teachers, there are many ways to nurture them academically- more specifically, the learners’ reading ability. There are different ways on how to nourish and foster reading in the classroom. One is allowing learners to read aloud. Reading aloud is an enjoyable activity. Additionally, it is a practice that teachers find fulfilling and that they should encourage regularly to do it at home and in school. in Metro Manila and the entire country instead of being a tree plantation or logging concession area. (PNA) the implementation of the latter’s rehabilitative actions.

Another is, surround learner in the classroom with various reading materials. Try to vary the books that they will read as much as possible. This will open their eyes to a range of different worlds, cultures and characters and allow their imagination to be stretched and thrive.

Lastly, be a model. Children are imitators. Make reading a habit. Teachers are in great position to ensure that reading is a key part of children’s daily routine.

By doing so, progress and development towards reading will surely be a success!

Acuña said this will ensure that the plans will not remain only as promises but will be fulfilled and implemented soonest. These include mitigating, contingency, long- and short-term plans, environmental cleanup drive, corporate liabilities, and social responsibilities, he added. A third resolution sought the intervention of the DENR as a thirdparty agency that will assist the city in addressing the problem caused by molasses spillage and the spread of foul odor. (PNA)
