DavNor governor spots on crucial role of media D DAVAO DEL NORTE l DAVAO DEL SUR lDAVAO DEL ORIENTALl COMPOSTELA VALLEY

AVAO del Norte ––Provincial Governor Rodolfo P. del Rosario recently recognized the important role that private media practitioners play in disseminating balanced and fair information to the public.

In addressing the program on October 31 that capped the observance of Press Freedom Month in October, Del Rosario acknowledged the media sector as the 4thstate telling the practitioners of their crucial role as the critical eye to screen activities of government official. ”You are the one who will say whether a government official is doing the right thing or not,” he said during the program cum dinner that Del Rosario hosted through the Provincial Information Office (PIO).

However, Del Rosario reminded media practitioners of the need for them to maintain “independence” saying, “that is the role you are expected to perform”.

But he asked them to be “fair” in their reportage and to “come up with right news and information” using the traditional media:

print, television and radio, and even the social media to inform the people.

The program cum dinner that Gov. del Rosario hosted on the night of October 31 through the PIO, wrapped up the series of media activities focusing on academe, tourism and climate change and local governance.

The month-long observance of press freedom opened on October 13 during which PIO hosted the Provincial Monday Convocation featuring a talk show bringing on the panel of guests Gov. Del Rosario, chair of the Regional Development Council (RDC) with RDC Vice Chairperson Ma. Lourdes Lim, regional director of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) XI. PIO then pushed the press freedom observance on Oct. 16, dubbing media partnership with the academe as Academedia.

It conducted a training on audio video production and television reporting inviting in as participants high school and college students particularly the school-paper members.

On Oct. 17, PIO tied

up media partnership with thetourism sector and brought the private media practitioners and the LGU information officers to Talikud Island being developed by the provincial government of Davao del Norte as a tourist destination.

On media and climate change, PIO featured the Oplan ANDAM (Awareness on Natural Disaster and Mitigation), the primary disaster risk reduction

management program of the provincial government.

PIO brought the media partners to Cuambogan in Tagum City where the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDDRMO) taught them some life-saving techniques and got them involved in a crisis communication management workshop.

In the later part of October, PIO organized the

Press Congress bringing in as guest speaker Ms. Celerita Amores, the assistant vice president on Regional Public Affairs Program of GMA to discuss the topic, “The Role of the Media in Regional Development.”

At the finale of the month-long Press Freedom observance, PIO organized a fun day on Oct. 31 solely for the private media practitoiners, highlighted by familiarization on handling

of firearms and shooting exercises supervised by Police Senior Supt. Samuel Gadingan of Davao del Norte Police Provincial Office.

The Media Fun Day also engaged the private media practitioners in a basketball tournament in tandem with participating municipal \and city information officers in Davao del Norte. (PIA 11/ Jeanevive Duron-Abangan)

Cabalquinto, Palicte vow to KO foes

By Lito Delos Reyes, Contributor and Marlon Gayog, Davao News Bureau

UNDISPUTED Philippine junior welter weight king Adones Cabalquinto and top super flyweight contender Aston Palicte both vowed to knockout their separate rivals in the “Tibay ng Pinoy V” boxing card on Saturday at the Almendras gym.

Cabalquinto, a native of Talaingod, Davao del Norte wants to stop Pankorn Singwangcha of Thailand in their 12-round title-fight for the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council light welterweight crown.

“Ako sa tan-awon iya style sa 1st or 2nd round ug kung kaya, ako siya kuhaon sa 7th round,” said Cabalquinto (17 wins with 10 KOs, 0 loss or draw).

“Pankorn is a dangerous opponent. He won his first

three fights all by knockout,” said promoter Joven Jimenez.

Cabalquinto, however, is fresh from a first round stoppage over Elmer Legaria last August 23 at the Almendras gym during his third titledefense.

Cabalquinto won the PH crown by unanimous decision against Dan Nazareno Jr. last March 17, 2013 in Cebu. He retained it via a unanimous decision against Romeo Jakosalem last Dec. 12, 2012 in Zambales then against RJ Ano-os also by UD on Oct. 20, 2013.

Palicte, on the other hand, said he is going for a 5th round stoppage against his new but dangerous opponent Jerpaul Valero of Cebu for the interim Philippine super flyweight title.

“Grabe akong training for

Marco. Halos pareho lang ang ilahang style. Pero mas magaling at marunong lumabas at pasok itong si Valero,” Palicte said. “ Mag adjust sa ko bago nako siya kuhaon sa ika-limang round,” Palicte said.

Valero is a substitute for his fellow stablemate Marco Demecillo, who was stripped already of title after missing after his arrival from Japan.

“Hindi na nagpakita si Demecillo sa kanyang manager na si Wakee Salud pagkarating nya sa sparring at training sa Japan last week,” said promoter Joven Jimenez.

Demecillo could no longer be contacted by his manager.

“Pero mas maganda pa rin ang laban na Palicte at Valero dahil sa tingin ko mas fighter

itong si Valero. Mas exciting ito,” said Jimenez.

The 23-year old Palicte previously scored a first round TKO win over Frans Damur Palve in his last outing held at Almendras gym last Aug. 23.

The 5-foot-7 Palicte thrice knocked down Palve in the first round. It was Palicte’s fourth straight win all by knockouts since he suffered his only ring setback from the hands of Romnick Magos via a 4th round RTD for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific youth flyweight title last Dec. 1, 2012.

Since training at the MP Davao Boxing gym, Palicte bounced back by stopping Lowell Saguisa (3rd round), Michael Bastasa (1st round) and Robel Villegas (1st round).

Jiminez said the boxing promotion is again free to the public.

“Ito ang gusto ni Boss Manny Pacquiao na laging free to the public ang boxing namin,” said Jiminez.

It is sponsored by Mitsubishi, Pepsi and The Royal Mandaya Hotel, Cerritos and the city government of Davao.

Surigao town villagers fear escalation of conflict

S

By Roel N. Catoto

URIGAO City – Residents of a barangay in Bacuag town in Sur igao del Nor te expressed fears of a possible escalation of conflict after clashes between government forces and New People’s Army (NPA) rebels on Sunday.

The encounters o ccurred in Sitio Little Baguio in Barangay Payapag, Bacuag and left two soldiers killed.

Some 30 NPA rebels first clashed with government troops at around 8:00 p.m. on All Souls Day leaving one soldier killed, Lt. Colonel Arsenio Sadural, commanding officer of the 30th Infantry Battalion

told MindaNews on Monday evening, November 3.

Sadural said the rebels belong to the Sandatahang Platun Pampropaganda of Guerrilla Front Committee 16.

A n ot h e r e n c ou nt e r erupted at 4:00 p.m. on the same day in the same place killing one soldier and wounding two others, he added.

Some villagers said they might be forced to evacuate if the hostilities escalated.

“I hope they should stop this because we might be caught in the crossfire,” John Delgado, a farmer from Bacuag said in a text message.

“Unta wala na gira kay hasol kaayo mag bakwit ,

wala bay ihatag nga maayo ana ,” (I hope there will no longer be war because evacuating will do us no good) Dadoy Horod, a Mamanwa from Bacuag said.

Bacuag Mayor Sheila

Mae Orquina-Cebedo told MindaNews Monday evening via text message that she received no reports of evacuation after the clashes.

“We express our deepest sympathies to the fami-

lies and friends of our slain comrades. They were killed while protecting the Filipino people in pursuit for peace and development in the area,” Sadural, referring to the slain soldiers, said.

“They offered their lives for the sake of the people of Surigao Del Norte. They will always be remembered as true heroes and their sacrifices will never be in vain,” he added.

Bangsamoro Law to benefit all Lawmakers are hoping that the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) will be approved swiftly as it is beneficial to people from all sectors—whether they are Christians, Muslims, or indigenous peoples (IPs) and will bring peace and progress in Mindanao and the rest of the country.

Cagayan de Oro second district Representative Rufus Rodriguez, says “the BBL [hopes to bring peace and progress to] all Bangsamoro and Filipinos.

It is not only for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).”

The BBL is the legal iteration of the Comprehensive Agreement on the

Pope Francis once again ruffled the feathers of the guardians of the present world economic order with his exhortation on the rights of the poor, the injustices of unemployment and the need for environmental protection.

The Pope issued his exhortation to the World Meeting of Popular Movements. Commentators considered the exhortation as one of the longest speeches of the pontificate. And they view it as proof of how close to the Pope’s heart are issues pertaining to the poor.

The Pope’s position about the poor gives discomfort to the guardians of the present world economic order represented by America because they look at it as

Editorial Bangsamoro (CAB) signed by the Government of the Philippines and the MILF as the final political settlement of the armed conflict in the south. The BBL will entrench the Bangsamoro political entity that will replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao by 2016.

This [proposed BBL] is good for all ethnic and religious groups in Mindanao, including indigenous peoples and Christians because it will provide for genuine autonomy with enhanced fiscal and political powers that will empower the people in the proposed

Bangsamoro region.

In the BBL, “there will be no [religious] discrimination of Christians” and “vested property rights will be recognized and protected.”

According to Rodriguez, cases of unjust dispossession of lands or land-grabbing cases will have to be settled through the proper justice mechanisms.

If this will be implemented it will solve the problem of Inbdigenour People’s exploitation by capitalists. This is in accordance with the CAB under the section on transitional justice and reconciliation, as part of the normalization process.

Peace and progress in

the Bangsamoro will positively affect its neighbouring areas, including Sultan Kudarat, even if they are not part of the proposed territory of the Bangsamoro.

The Ad Hoc Committee is undertaking an initiative for “the MNLF and the MILF to come together and come up with a common position to be put in the BBL, as both groups advance the same cause for the Bangsamoro people.”

This is parallel to the efforts of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to consolidate the concerns of both Moro fronts through the recently activated Bangsamoro Coordination Forum.

May it be done.

poverty. Apologists of the US capitalist order claim this stance of Francis sounds like very communist.

But the Pope countered in his remarks to the World Meeting of Popular Movements saying that when he talks about the poor some brands him as communist.

He further countered, saying “They don’t understand that love for the poor is at the center of the Gospel.”

The head of the more than one billion Roman Catholic Church, further clarified that his demands on behalf of the poor of this world is not unusual for the upliftment of the poor from their sorry state is the social doctrine of the church.

Pope was just being diplomatic in his statement.

Perhaps he was just cautious by not saying that poverty especially by the majority of the populace in the world is an anomaly in the eyes of God, hence, the need for the Church, the body of Christ here on earth, to correct this anomaly.

I believe that no clergy of whatever religious denomination will ever debate with me on this point about poverty. If there is any clergy who is not sold to this point, then perhaps it would be better for that clergy to go over the teachings of his faith.

Poverty and its attendant evils are so anomalous in the eyes of God and this

TEACHER‘S SENSE OF EFFICACY IN CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

By Reina Marie G. Ebisa Patrocinio National High School Claveria, Misamis Oriental

Classroom management has proved to be a plaguing aspect of the teaching and learning process over the past century. This single skill has heavily contributed to teacher stress and burnout teacher performance in the classroom and is commonly a major concern of principals regarding new teachers.

Scholarly research indicates that teachers need training on classroom management. It was also found out that most novice teachers are usually shocked by the realities of the classroom, often despite initial training and support from the administration.

Teachers should be adequately prepared for the first three years of teaching.

Previous research states that novice teachers do not feel that they were well prepared by their teacher education programs .

Some studies linked a teacher’s level of self-efficacy with student behavior.

Teachers with higher levels of self-efficacy perceive lower levels of student misbehaviour.

Self-efficacy refers to the level of confidence that one has about one’s own ability to perform a certain task.

The idea of self-efficacy is relatively new in the field of education, but has gained great popularity over the past few decades. Educators suggest that novice teachers

need to possess a clear and positive image of themselves as teachers (self-efficacy) before growth can occur.

Without a clear self-image (high self-efficacy) novices are certain to fail miserably in the classroom.

Beginning teachers need strong self-efficacy beliefs in order to continue in the field of education . Teachers who exhibit high levels of self-efficacy are also more satisfied with their job and more empowered. Thus, self-efficacy is directly related to teacher success in the classroom.

Self-efficacy is often divided into two categories: general teaching efficacy and personal teaching efficacy. General teaching efficacy refers to the beliefs held by a teacher concerning the power that external factors, such as home environment, violence, or abuse, have in comparison to the influences that teachers and schools have on students.

Classroom management has been a historical problem for teachers.

Since the early 1930’s, teachers have reported that classroom management and student misbehavior were the two most trying issues for new and, sometimes, even experienced teachers . (Johnston, 1978; Williams, 1976).

Although society and the educational system have undergone monumental transformations since that time, classroom management still remains as the

In compliance with the publication requirement and pursuant to OCRG Memorandum Circular No. 2013-1 Guidelines in the Implementation of the Administrative Order No. 1 Series of 2012 (IRR on R,A, 10172), Notice is hereby served to the public that MA.

Any person adversely affected by said petition may file his written opposition with this Office not later than November 21, 2014.

most trying issue for new.

Classroom management refers to a teacher’s ability to keep order in the classroom, engage students in learning, and elicit student cooperation, all while balancing the menial tasks of the classroom.

Research shows that “students spend up to one-half of instructional time engaged in tasks not related to learning, such as classroom procedural matters, transitions between activities, discipline situations, and off task activities (Codding & Smyth, 2008).

Teaching today is a very stressful profession. The levels of stress experienced by teachers undoubtedly have a strong effect on teacher performance, career decisions, physical and mental health, and overall job satisfaction.

Classroom management requires the development and honing of skills and strategies to produce a safe and orderly learning environment. It is different for every teacher, every classroom, and every situation, and could possibly be the most complex aspect of teaching.

Classroom management relies heavily on planning, establishing, and maintaining routines and procedures, and enforcing rules with consequences.. One of the most influential factors affecting classroom management is experience.

Although surveys generally indicate that teachers with more years of experience perceive fewer problems regarding classroom management, instead of implying that teachers learn to manage classroom over time, these surveys could be evidence that teachers that did not learn to properly manage classrooms and have left the profession.

Classroom management is the foundation for learning. Without proper classroom management, students cannot and will not learn. It plays a very important role in the classroom, despite the fact that it is often not given the respectful consideration that it is due. Classroom management is an important indicator to administration of the successfulness of a teacher. Regardless of how knowledgeable and skilled a teacher is at his or her career, a lack of classroom management will often counteract the prevalence of such skills.

Calamities: BLESSING OR HINDRANCE TO SCHOOL AND STUDENT DEVELOPMENT?

By Belen G. Zaportiza Inobulan Honga Gue National High School Inobulan, Salay, Mis. Or.

Natural disasters are an increasing phenomena that may have a direct impact on the emotional as well as educational welfare of households and communities.

Depending on where we live, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc, are threats to lives, properties, productive assets, and also can have an impact on social indicators such as education.

The impact of a natural disaster may also cause inequalities. The poor, who suffer from the aftermath of calamities are helpless when their children refuse to go

to school because they are shy they have no clothes and baon. Pupil development thus, is hampered, aside from suffering shock and emotional trauma.

In addition, there are a number of non-poor, or close to be, who are not insured from those risks, and then may fall into poverty as consequence when coping with the shock.

The emotional vulnerability of a student to natural disasters is a complex issue.

Disasters’ impact on the poor could be losing access to some basic services, such as education, and may even increase child labor and

criminal activities. This could be the worst hindrance to their development.

Finances are large dictators of students’ progress.

When calamities occur, parents are unable to provide food, adequate shelter or proper utilities at home.

They are hungry, tired unable to focus in school, as their basic needs are not met.

While, students whose primary needs are fulfilled arrive at school feeling safe and ready to learn, they may also be affected by calamities which rendered their school with no clean classrooms and toilets. They may find such an atmosphere discomforting. Other schools can provide not only safe and well-structured buildings, but also recent textbooks and modern technology.

Life experiences shape a student’s attitude toward education. Student who enjoy exploring and experimenting seek to further their educations.

Calamities may also render them illness, and they may miss schooling and fall behind in their development. They will not learn in the same way as other children in the class.

Calamities lead to living in poor housing and they may not sleep well, due to over-crowding or noises in evacuation centers, and this will make them tired in school, affecting concentration. Poor housing can affect health. After typhoons, homes become damp and students get breathing problems for example. Then they miss schooling due to poor health.

No official candidates for Misor yet: LP official Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Lanao del Sur • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAGAYAN de Oro City––A senior official of the Liberal Party (LP) yesterday said the LP has no official candidates for Misamis Oriental for the 2016 local and presidential elections.

Mayor Alexis S. Quino of Balingasag town, president of the provincial league of mayors, the majority of whose members belong to LP, said they have been meeting regularly to discuss possible candidates.

“In the Liberal Party

there is a consultation process,” Quina said.

Should first district Rep. Peter M. Unabia decides to run for governor, he said the LP will be forced to field another candidate in the first congressional district in 2016.

Unabia is the highest

ranking LP member in the province.

“All LP mayors in Misamis Oriental have been considered,” Quina said.

“But we have to wait still,” he added.

Asked what his personal choice for a position would be in 2016, he said he has

Typhoon victims in Mindanao join ‘Yolanda’ anniversary in Tacloban

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– About 2,000 individual typhoon victims in Mindanao started a long trip to Tacloban City on Tuesday to join the first anniversary of typhoon Yolanda there on November 8.

Jonathan Bonocan, the liaison officer of the Kadamay (Symphatize) Mindanao, a non-government organization (NGO) engaged in relief and assistance in times of disasters, said that about 2,000 individuals from all over Mindanao started the long convoy to Tacloban City

Tuesday morning.

In Cagayan De Oro City, some 30 individuals from Iligan City and Cagayan De Oro City jumped off early Tuesday morning starting in the designated Sendong “zero ground” at the Rotunda Circle here.

He said that other participants from Davao, Surigao, and Zamboanga – all victims of the disastrous Typhoons Sendong and Pablo – have also started the more than 550 kilometer trek to Tacloban City.

“The participants from Mindanao intend to be in Tacloban City a day before

November 8 (the day when Typhoon Yolanda struck the eastern Visayas area, leaving thousands of people dead and billions of damaged to properties), for the two-day “Visayas-Mindanao Survivors Conference,” Bonocan said.

He said that the victims in Mindanao and the Visayas region will converge in Tacloban City’s government center in Palo, Leyte to express dismay over the inadequacy and nonfulfillment of the government’s promise assistance to victims of disasters.

In Iligan City alone, about 1,000 individual victims of the catastrophic Typhoon

Sendong in 2011 have not been provided adequate shelter, Bonocan said.

He said that more than 100 individual victims in Cagayan De Oro City could no longer be accounted and the livelihood programs offered to survivors failed because of the government’s failure to sustain it.

“We are confident that the two-day survivors’ conference in Tacloban City will yield positive results. We also hope that the government will take proactive actions on the issues and concerns that the participants might resolve during the conference,” Bonocan said.

Sayyaf shows video clip on social site of German ransom Z AMBOANGA City – The Abu Sayyaf has posted a video clip on Facebook showing militants stacking up ransoms it got in exchange for the safe release of two German hostages in southern Philippines.

The post had been taken down and the Facebook account deactivated after the video went viral in social media. The clip showed militants, some of them barefooted, surrounding the ransoms all P1000 bill - wrapped in transparent plastic sheet and stacked in bundles of five, and is estimated to be worth P160 million.

Abu Sayyaf spokesman, Aboo Rami, told Radio Mindanao Network in Zamboanga City, that they freed the two German yachters - Stefan Viktor Okonek, 71, and Henrike Diesen, 55 – on October 17 after receiving the ransom.

The Abu Sayyaf demanded P250 million ransoms from Germany in exchange for the freedom of the hostages.

The Philippine military has strongly insisted that no ransom was paid for the release of two German nationals and even dared anybody to come up with evidence that ransom had been paid to Abu Sayyaf militants in Sulu province.

Lt. Col. Harold Cabunoc, a military spokesman, insisted the foreigners were freed by their kidnappers due to pressure exerted by security forces – a line which the military have used many times in previous release of foreign hostages by the Abu Sayyaf.

Sources in Sulu said a private jet delivered 12 trolley bags containing ransoms in Jolo and that several bags full of money had been left in the plane.

Cabunoc branded the Abu Sayyaf statement as “propagan-

da” and even cited allegations in the past against the military that it delivered ransom to the militant group to buy the freedom of hostages in Basilan province in 2001. He said the military does not negotiate with terrorists.

It was unknown what role the military played in the ransom negotiations, but shortly after the release of the Germans hostages, Maj. Gen. Domingo Tutaan, a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Philippines, said: “The AFP has no information on that (ransom payments) but suffice to say that the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other security forces do not and will not negotiate with terrorists and kidnappers.”

The Philippine military now said the money maybe fake and the statement coincided with the November 5 release of an 18-year old South Korean national who was kidnapped on September 11 in Kabasalan town in Zamboanga Sibugay province, about 130 kilometers east of Zamboanga City.

The Western Mindanao Command said Li Pei Zhei was freed by his kidnappers in Alicia town and recovered by the police. It was not immediately known if ransom was paid for his safe release, but the military said the foreigner was held captive in Basilan province.

It was unknown if the Abu Sayyaf was behind the kidnapping, but the group has threatened to kill Malaysian fish breeder Chan Sai Chuin, 32, if the ransom of 3 million ring-

gits (P41 million) is not paid this month. He was kidnapped along with a Filipino worker on June 16 this year from a fish farm in the town of Kunak in Tawau District.

The Abu Sayyaf is also holding captive a Malaysian policeman Kons Zakiah Aleip, 26, who was seized on June 12 also this year following a clash in Sabah that killed another policeman. The militants are demanding 5 million ringgits (P68.3 million).

Aside from the Malaysians, the militants are still holding a 64-year old Japanese treasure hunter Katayama Mamaito, who was kidnapped from Pangutaran Island in July 2010; and two European wildlife photographers Ewold Horn, 52, from Holland; and Lorenzo Vinciguerre, 47, from Switzerland, who were taken captive in the coastal village of Parangan in Panglima Sugala town in the southern Tawi-Tawi province in 2012.

The Abu Sayyaf group now has hundreds of members in the southern Philippines, particularly in the Muslim autonomous region. The military failed to stop the growing influence and violent campaigns of the militant group because it did not sustain the combat operations needed to wipe out the Abu Sayyaf in the restive region. The US military is assisting the local military in antiterrorism operation against the Abu Sayyaf, which previously attacked and killed American soldiers in Sulu.

58 rescued in trafficking attempt in Zamboanga City Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

ZAMBOANGA City––The multi-agency Sea-Based Anti-Trafficking Task Force (SBATTF) foiled a human trafficking attempt here Tuesday, rescuing 58 people in the process.

Senior Supt. Angelito Casimiro, Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) director, said the would-be victims

were rescued shortly after midnight aboard a vessel docked at a wharf in Barangay Baliwasan.

Casimiro said the vessel, M/L Nurhira, was about to depart for Taganak, TawiTawi.

From Taganak, they were to board another vessel that would take them to Malaysia

via the city of Sandakan in Sabah.

Casimiro said the wouldbe victims were recruited from the different parts of the region.

He said they were turned over to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) where they were processed for assistance

to bring them back to their respective places of origin.

They were the third batch of would-be trafficking victims the task force rescued since August this year.

The first batch that consisted of 13 persons was rescued last August 4 at the local wharf while about to board a commercial ferry

bound for Malaysia.

The second batch comprising of four persons was rescued last October 25 at a house in Barangay Sangali here. Authorities have tightened watch at the local port and privately-owned wharves after it was discovered that human traffickers use this city as jump-off.

In addition, he told participants to make use of the draft memorandum circular, titled as the procedures in the validation, survey and disposition of UPALs as

a guide while waiting for the official written issuance policy from the central office.

He also said that the output would become the interim rules between DAR and DENR on how to implement the JAO No. 3.

DAR-10 assistant regional director Teresita E. Depeñoso stressed that all data should be validated,

verified and accurate since the land holdings covered by CARP are being uploaded online for easier access to the public.

“This is the reason why we have these orientations and collaborations with our line agencies to ensure that our partners have the necessary knowledge and information of what we are implementing in the field,”

said Depeñoso.

The orientation was attended by DAR-10 ARD Eliasem Castillo, DAR-10 provincial and regional operations staff, Community Environment and Natural Resources Officers (CENROs), Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officers (PENROs), and DENR-10 regional staff.

“I congratulate you all for assisting this administration in gradually achieving its flagship agenda for a unitive development among Gingoognons,” the mayor said.

Gingoog City’s MRDP focal person Engr. Randy Tecson said Barangay Balason Farmers Producers Cooperative emerged as

number one CFAD recipients among 217 people’s organizations (PO) in our province.

With the assistance of their supervisors Rizaldy Lim and Rico Empalmado with Norma Carcido and their dedicated MRDP staff, his native place is gearing up for regional level qualification as DA continues searching for outstanding PO in Northern Mindanao before this program ends this December 2014.

“Truly MRDP is reaching wider and enriching people’s lives as it incessantly funds for road improvements and for our food security that invite our brothers and sisters in the mountain to lay down their arms from revolutionary struggle, go back to the negotiating table to attain genuine peace and bloodless resolution and help this administration more progressive and meaningful to everyone,” said Guingona.

She added: “Our successful enrollment in the agency’s programs and loans for five years cater a longer progress and development to our people living in the hinterlands.”

City Agriculturist Eduardo Sanchez said the DA

cited the city of Gingoog for its outstanding implementation of the CFAD program among the 45 Local Government Units (LGUs) in Misamis Oriental.

Sanchez attributed the success to the strong commitment and support of the administration of the mayor.

“This is truly a remarkable and exemplary accomplishment orchestrated by all of us,” said Guingona adding, “This is the out-

Molon said rabies has a high fatality rate but, ver y much preventable.

“Pe t s an d d om e s t i cated animals are part of our daily lives,” said Molon adding, “As we love to be surrounded by pets, let us show them the proper care and love, and s ecure our family members against the deadly rabies infection.”

Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor

irst birthdays are always a time for thanksgiving since the child has successfully reached a milestone. It’s the debut year of your kid and he or she can remember it in videos and pictures years afterwards. It is also a celebration of parenthood. Because of this premise that it is a once-in-alifetime affair, Diamond Merzel “DM” Sudaria-Lipanta celebrated her birthday in a memorable way – although she has not known it yet, she reached out to less privileged kids at Calaanan Development Center last November 3 by giving them games, perks, food and vitamins.

The kids at Calaanan – who are all

children of Sendong survivors – enjoyed themselves to a sack race and other parlor games where they were treated with candy afterwards followed by burger and juice treats during sunset at the spacious open area in their community located in barangay Canitoan. The kids were assisted by a church-based youth group in Calaanan as well as the growing UNO chapter in Cagayan de Oro, which is headed by Diamond Merzel’s mom Mer. Diamond Merzel is the very first daughter of mommy Mer Sudaria and her loving husband, Wenzel. Thus OUTREACH | Page B2

DO YOU HAVE A DREAM THAT IS STILL UNFULFILLED? http://www.chinkeetan.com/

TAN

by CHINKEE

What was your dream when you were young?

Have you started to pursue it?

Have you been able to achieve your dreams?

Admit it or not, everyone has a dream.

A dream to become someone someday; a dream to become significant; a dream to add value and contribute to the life of others; a dream to reach the pinnacle of success.

I have a dream of my own when I was 12. I told myself that I want to become a millionaire before the age of 35.

I knew it was ambitious and I have to do something about it. Or else that dream will just remain a day dream.

I entered the world of sales at 12 and sold many things; from toilet paper, pants, shoes, shirts, watches and many others. This is what I’ve discovered, you will experience a lot of rejections and trial before you succeed.

But as the going gets tough, I became tougher, stronger and more resilient to do whatever it takes to reach my dreams. I thank God that I was rewarded to fulfill my dreams before I hit the age of 27.

This is now what I’ve realized, the only difference between people who make it or not their determination to fulfill it. The question need to be asked is “Are you willing to pay the price?”

Because every dream comes a price tag.

The bigger the dream, the bigger the price tag.

No dream will be handed to you over a silver platter.

As the old saying goes, “There is no such thing as free lunch.”

The wrong question to ask is “Do you have a dream?”

Rather, “Are you willing to do everything, no matter how long it may take, in order to make your dream to become a reality?”

In pursuing your dreams you will encounter challenges, difficulties and tribulations of many kinds.

Are you willing to succeed as much as you want to breath air?

Many people want to succeed but not all want it that bad.

You must want it! You must covet it! You must go for it!

Many want to succeed, but some people sleep more than they are awake.

If you want to succeed, you cannot afford to go to sleep.

Many want to succeed, but some people are just too lazy to work.

If you want to succeed, you cannot afford to be lazy.

Many want to succeed, but some people are just too afraid to get started.

If you want to succeed, you cannot afford to be scared.

Successful people can hardly sleep; they are hardworking; they are courageous to face all types of challenges and fear that may come along the way.

They are thinking about what they are going to do tomorrow.

They wake up in the middle of the night to plan more, to think more.

They cannot wait until it is tomorrow in order to execute and make their plans work.

They live, breath, think about their dreams every minute and every second of the day.

You must want you dream so bad that you cannot afford to allow one day passing without you doing something about it.

If you know that you have been putting off your dreams for the longest time.

My challenge to you is, what are you planning to do about it?

Do you want to wait a few more years to pass for you to realize that you are not getting any younger?

Do you want to live your life with full of regrets because you never even tried pursuing your dreams?

Do you want to just celebrate other people’s success rather than celebrating your own personal success?

The choice is yours today!

Take charge of your life and do whatever it takes in order for you to live your life to the fullest today. Live your life with celebration and refuse to live your life in regret.

Introducing teachers to Google Apps FOR this edition of The Chameleon, we have a guest contribution from Ms. Roxanne Fuentes. She’s a teacher in a private school and at the same time the head of the Google Educators Group – Cagayan de Oro. She writes about a very important tool that teachers can use in their respective classrooms: “What is Google Apps for Education (GAFE)? What makes Google Apps special for schools?

Google Apps for Education has all of the same basic Google Apps like Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, etc. which fosters creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, online col-

laboration and innovative learning among stakeholders in educational institutions.

It basically provides a venue wherein people connect, discover and learn.

Collaborative Teaching and Learning GAFE brings a unified collaboration platform wherein teachers and students share and edit documents, check outputs, create websites, schedule activities and chat together in real time. Teachers can also work collaboratively in creating lessons, activities and materials which they can use in their classroom teaching. Students can also know exactly when their teachers are available and vice versa for

consultations and feedbacks through Google+, Hangouts and Calendar.

Making Work Faster and Easier Through GAFE’s collaborative platform, students and teachers simply log into their Gmail account to gain access to the all the Google apps, extensions and addons. Working on academic tasks now becomes faster, easier and paperless. For example, a group of students can work together on a project in Google docs and the teacher can see changes in real time, discover the students who contributed and who did not, score the output and provide feedback

right away. All of these can happen in just a few clicks.

Accessibility All documents and files created through Google apps are stored in the cloud, which means these documents can be accessed even on mobile devices and tablets --- anytime and anywhere.

Safe and Secure Environment Since the documents are stored in the cloud, GAFE also includes security features to keep the data safe, secure and that can only be controlled by the owner. The apps enable owners have control to their own file, including to whom it is shared with and how it is shared. For

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Have a great time today -- your energy is perfect for low-key fun and hanging out with friends. Even if you’re stuck at work, you should find it easier to keep a smile on your face.

Special Gospel of the day: Luke7:3650(November6, 2014-Thursday) Thou gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath “anointed” my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loved little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven: In this gospel we can discover the big and “great love of Jesus” to all sinners.

Halloween roundup in Cagayan de Oro

By MARK FRANCISCO, Assistant Lifestyle Editor

F

rom Greenhills to Divine, from Leo’s Grill to Haze, from Illest to Centrio, it was a Halloween craze all over Cagayan de Oro last weekend.

I did what any other human would do – to stay at one party and opt to enjoy the rest of the night there. Specifically, I trooped to Junno DeliCafe.

Others wanted to be teleport and this they almost did – from Haze, model-slash-beauty queen-slashCity Hall employee-slash-partygoer Jasmin Borja sped to Lifestyle District in her trademark Maleficient look; DJ RB Banaag switched from Junno to Haze; Bingo Ebabacol from Haze to Leo’s (or was it the other way around? haha).

I entered Junno along with lady chum Kat Llagas at around 10 p.m. and the place was packed already with revelers in their crazy costumes. TV host Bryan Yu was spotted there along with teen beauty-turned-calligrapher Paola Pilapil. The trio

father-and-sons DJ tandem of Cocoy, RB and Kyle Banaag were also there hyping up the crowd through their brand of house and club music which they interspersed with 1990s hits to accommodate the “wiser” generation among the crowd.

Also seen were newly married ex-seminarian Churchill Aguilar as well as Kiwanis dolls Claire Marte, Cyrielle Bucais and Ritz Anne Beja, among many others.

Food and booze were flowing but not free…lol!

As we were partying there the whole time, I was personally pondering on how the rest of the Halloween parties in the city fared. If only you could borrow Atoy Martinez’s drone and insert an infrared chip inside to see what’s going on at LED… at Lokal…at Pulse…at CDO Bar all at the same time, I’m sure that would be quite a spectacle.

While the rest of the adults were still beating work deadlines, the kids had their early start. By Friday afternoon, malls such as Gaisano, Super KEI, Centrio, SM City Cagayan de Oro and Ororama were already handing out treats to kids.

Then the barrage of parties started to descend, kicking off with a firedance performance at Lokal.

Then sunset came. It was a time for longboarders in Halloween costumes to boast their talents and roved around the city in their skates and bikes, kicking off and ending at Rodelsa Circle. Then the rest of the parties went underway – Hollywood

Diner, Grand Central, Pulse Live, Mango Mania, Illest, etc.

The rest of society opted to stay in their own homes for the night, gleefully curling up for two days of no work ahead which they spent with their families just in time for All Saints and All Souls Days.
