Zubiri seeks probe on Okinlay’s killing

By Cris Diaz Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Provincial governor Jose Maria Zubiri of Bukdinon on Thursday called for a deeper investigation on the ambushed-killing of Impasug-ong town mayor Mario T. Okinlay on Wednesday.

Zubiri said that until the communist New People’s

Army (NPA) issues a statement to claim the ambushed of Okinlay, the provincial government could not issue a conclusive statement on the incident.

Zubiri made the statement when the local press sought his reaction to the ambush which resulted in the death of Okinlay on Wednesday.

Recall petition vs Oca submitted to Comelec friday, july 4, 2014

By Cheng Ordonez, CRIS DIAZ and GERRY GORIT of Mindanao Daily News

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– Petitioners marched Thursday, July 3, from the Provincial Capitol grounds to the office of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and submitted a petition for Recall Election against the mayor of this city, Lawyer Oscar Moreno.

About 10,000 residents of this regional capital of Northern Mindanao escorted the documents in the filing of the formal petition to recall Moreno Thursday afternoon.

At least, 86,000 local residents signed the petition to recall incumbent City Mayor Moreno since the signature campaign started in April this year, City Councilor Alexander Dacer said.

Of the signatures, about 72,000 have been verified to

Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

be genuine as the verification of signatures continued until Wednesday, Dacer added.

Dacer, a member of the majority bloc in the city council, said that the residents lead by barangay leaders, religious groups, youth and women’s sector, vendors, and businessmen will hold a rally at the City Hall ground Thursday afternoon.

He said that the residents proceeded to the provincial ground before and after filing the petition to recall Mayor Moreno at the city’s Commission on Elections (COMELEC) here amid a sudden heavy rain Thursday afternoon.

Leaders of the local Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) composed of barangay leaders of the city’s 80 rural and urban barangays brushed aside the earlier declaration of the

COMELEC that the electoral body will not entertain recall because it has no funds to hold recall elections.

Vendors who were ousted by the administration of Mayor Moreno from their makeshift stores and restaurants in Kagawasan, Divisoria, popularly called “Night Cafe” were also conspicuous in the rally.

Yan Lam Lim, AB C president, said the people in Cagayan de Oro City will continue to initiate legal moves to oust Moreno at all costs. “There is no turning back now,” he said.

The supporters intend to rally at the City Hall ground after the filing of the petition to recall Moreno.

However, heavy rains prevented the supporters from proceeding to the City Hall.

Instead, leaders of the held an impromptu rally at the provincial capitol ground.

Lately, Moreno has been

an object of rigorous criticism for failing to pay the salary due to some 2,400 students who availed of the government’s Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) during summer.

The SPES is mandated under Republic Act No. 9547 otherwise known as “An Act To Help Poor But Deserving Students Pursue Their Education By Encouraging Their Employment During Summer and/or Christmas Vacations, Through Incentives Granted to Employers, Allowing Them to Pay Only Sixty Per Centum of Their Salaries or Wages and The Forty Per Centum Through Education Vouchers To Be Paid By the Government.

Moreno, however, refused to pay the 60 percent directly to students saying the city government would pay the amount directly to the school. Under the law,

MDN: June 16-Dec.15, 2014

the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) pays the school from the remaining 40 percent.

The parents of the 2,400 students have expressed disgust over Moreno’s action and plead, to no avail, that the 60 percent be paid directly to the students to pay and buy their personal things like shoes, shirts, and uniforms.

“Mayor Moreno has been trying his best to bring in development to Cagayan de Oro, but he has to face the reality that the City Council is not on his side and the majority cannot give him more time to prove what he can do for the city,” Councilor Candy Lourdes Darimbang said in the vernacular.

Members of the City Council’s Majority Block also joined the rally yesterday.

Should the Recall Election pushes through, this is

the first time that a Cagayan de Oro chief executive’s capability to run the affairs of the city has been questioned and challenged.

But supporters of Mayor Moreno said, the petition will not make it, because the Comelec in Manila, for several occasions, has announced it does not have the budget to conduct Recall Elections.

But the local electorates described the COMELEC pronouncement as a clear violation of the constitutional rights of the people to petition for the recall of an elective official as guaranteed in the 1991 Local Government Code of the Philippines.

In the petition, the local residents cited their “loss of confidence” on Moreno’s administration, especially in the disbursement of the taxpayers’ money without See comelec, page 11

Lewin’s leadership style framework: Its application in the classroom

By Hazel L. de Guzman MT-1 Salong Elementary School Salong, Baroy South District Division of Lanao del Norte

Leading an organization or a group is a kind comprehensive task that requires a thorough classification and organization of ideas and action plans.

The same as well in the classroom setting, in order to hold a certain group in a way that daily goals are attainable, a teacher must be effective and efficient in leading and handling his class. It is also important for him to define the strategies contributing to his effectivity and efficiency, such as the kind of leadership that he will be engraving in his group.

Ps y c h o l o g i s t Ku r t Lewin argued that there are three major leadership styles. These are the following: First is the Autocratic form of leadership. In this leadership style, decisions are made by the leader without consulting the group, even if it said that the contribution of the members would be useful.

This is appropriate when decision is necessary to

be quick. Example of this is when a teacher elects group leaders for classroom cleaners. There is no need for the class to conduct votations for group leaders since the assigning is already done by the teacher.

Democracy or Democratic leadership is another leadership style in Lewin’s framework.

In here, leaders do the final decisions but team members are included in the decision-making process. This often encourage interest and creativity for team members are possible to attain high job satisfaction and high productivity. In the classroom, for an instance, the teacher wants to create poster for “Buwan ng Wika” theme and she encouraged the students to give ideas how and what way it will be drawn, what are the symbols, how it will be presented and the like. In the end, the teacher will decide what are best ways among the ideas given.

The last leadership style in Lewin’s framework is the Laissez Faire. The name is a French word that means “leave alone”.

In Laissez Faire, the team

leader gives his members the freedom in working.

Just for example in a call center agency. The employer will just give her agents the resources and even pieces of advice but in handling the clients, he will leave it all on the agent. This style will leave a high job satisfaction to the person but will also be damaging if the person can not manage his time well.

Laissez Faire in classroom occur also at times.

For example is when the teacher presents her lesson to the students and during examination period, he will just let the students study on their own and answer the question on their own without spoonfeeding the answers.

Another example is during a groupwork in Science, the teacher will just let the students experiment on their own and it is up to them if they will be successful in the experiment or not.

The style of management is very important.

The effectivity of the leader highly depends on how he managed the group by way of what leadership style he is applying.

sessions are in DA-Caraga’s current program.

Participants were taught how to cook various recipes derived from cassava such as pudding, cheese, hagikhik (suman), toron and pitchi-pitchi.

Regional Corn Program Coordinator Abel Wagas stressed that food processing is an opportunity for the farmer’s wife and women, in general, to help augment family income.

He urged the participants to strengthen their respective groups or associations by engaging in cassava food processing where ready market is just around their locality such

as restaurants, canteens and others.

A participant commented that she did not expect that cassava could be processed into “more mouth-watering” menus and promised to add cassava recipes during gatherings and special occasions.

Cassava is a healthy food alternative. Its roots have high dietary fiber, rich source of carbohydrates, magnesium, sodium, riboflavin, thiamin, nicotinic acid, and citrate.

Cassava is traditionally utilized as food source in broiled, steamed or boiled form.

By AWARDEE A. CANONIGO Teacher 1 Mabatao Elementary School Mabatao, Salvador, Lanao del Norte

Home is the first institution that a child first learns.

Parents play a vital role in the intellectual growth of their child. Their existence during child’s learning stage is very essential.

For an instance, the child have something to ask, it is important that they should be there to answer the question.

Sparing time for their children is responsibility of the parents because ignoring them will make them feel unimportant and eventually lose their interest in

studying. They should have time to discuss the topics their children learned from school. It is even good that parents would ask their children daily such as on what did they gained from school in a particular day.

Parents should as well help them in their studies. If possible, talk to them about the how can they improve and make them aware of the importance of study in their life, among others.

Through this, children will start taking interest in their studies.

Parents could also help in their children’s learning ability by providing them a supportive and educational

Teaching children how to save A penny saved is a penny earned —Benjamin Franklin Every kid needs a place to stash his or her cash.

Whether it’s in a piggy bank or cans. They love just having a place for coins and bills given to them.

There is a need now to help kids appreciate the benefits of saving money, according to Asian Hills Bank.

Today, the cashless society - plastic cards and internet banking - is making it hard for children to appreciate the value of money. A survey found two-thirds of the parents say the increasingly “virtual” nature of money is making it harder for children to understand its value.

Thus, in response to this need the Asian Hills Bank under President CEO Estelito Marabe came up with a unique project – the Bamboo Savers Club.

President Aquino was gravely wrong when he opted to delete Nora Aunor from the list of nominees to be conferred National Artist honors because of what he claimed the latter’s conviction in the United States on drug charges since he was not asked to beatify much more canonize the movie icon.

Aunor’s name was in the list submitted to Malacanang by the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts and the Cultural Center of

or to go out for dinner. Set a budget when it’s time to do back-to-school shopping. Be clear on what’s in your budget and what your kids need to save for.

A lot of teenagers have discovered more things they want to buy, which makes it hard for them to save. Encourage them to slow down their spending and put away money for saving. It is never too early to learn about the value of money and how to budget and save. The earlier you can teach a child about earning interest versus paying it, the better prepared they will be to manage their own money.

Children who learn to save at an early age have a great advantage, according to Asian Hills. Indeed there is a great moral value that children should know in saving money . Congratulations to Asian Hills Bank for the noble initiative!

Instead of piggy banks made of plastic or ceramics, Marabe and his bank use bamboo.

What is more unique with Asian Hills is that they go to schools and conduct lectures on the value of sav ing money among pupils and students. The teacher adviser is asked to monitor the savings of each student who become member of the Bamboo Savers Club.

From the bamboo bank, the student’s money is transferred to an account in the bank under his name.

It is appreciable that Asian Bank has taken a lead in educating children on the value of saving money because too many kids spend all their money as soon as they get it. Only a few save money and do it consistently every month.

For parents, they must talk about how they save

money and why. Kids learn by watching—and listening to—their parents, according to Mr. Marabe.

Parents can help their children set saving goals.

For example, if your child wants to buy a video game or a book, create concrete steps to help them save their money to buy it.

Make savings goals short and easy to reach.

A 6- to 9-year-old child will have a much easier time saving for something over a two- to four-week period rather than a year.

It is a fact that when kids enter puberty, they often become a lot more interested in spending money than saving it. Encourage them to save money instead of spending it so quickly.

Show how you save and how saving helps you to reach financial goals that you could not otherwise.

For example, save money for a nice piece of clothing

What Aquino was trying Jesse E.L. Bacon II to do in the case of Aunor is to elevate the conferment of the national artist honors to

Daily Inspiration “People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Forgive, be kind, be happy, do good, and give your best. What more could you give in life and who matters more than God? When it is between you and God, will you follow this path of honor? Mankind has the ability to choose an honorable path or the world’s path. Be a person of honor. Take the path that leads to a honorable destination.

Mindanao being eyed as coffee hub in PHL

T

he Philippine Coffee Board Inc. (PCBI) eyes Mindanao to be the coffee hub of the country, PCBI officials said in an interview Tuesday.

PCBI co-chair Pacita U. Juan said this shift to Mindanao as the coffee hub for the country is pushed by increasing land value in Luzon particularly in areas of Cavite and Batangas provinces.

“When land value is increasing, the crops should go to place where the land value is cheaper,” Juan said citing the southern Philippines offers lowest value of land.

Aside from the land value, farms in Cavite are now more utilized for other agricultural products like fruits; thus harvest of coffee beans in the said area is declining.

“B enguet is already getting too much attention.

We are now shifting it to the south,” she added.

PCBI chair Nicholas A. Matti, likewise, noted that the potential of the coffee farms in Mindanao are not yet maximized, producing only 17,000 tons of coffee.

He said that making Mindanao as the coffee hub will help around 40,000 farmers who are mostly indigenous people.

Mountains in Mindanao, where coffee farms are situated, also have more accessibility through different provinces; making coffee farming more inclusive.

In order to fur ther develop the coffee industry in Mindanao, more roasting facilities should be provided in these areas.

According to Matti,

p r ov i n c e s o f Ne g r o s , Cotabato, and Zamboanga have thriving roasting businesses.

Moreover, the coffee industry is a growing sector

as there is 3.0 to 5.0 percent annual growth in demand of robusta coffee while roasted and ground coffee demand has an annual growth of 10 to 15 percent.

Meanwhile, the PCBI will bring its annual coffee summit in Davao City on October 13 to 17 to further boost the coffee industry in Mindanao. (PNA)

Pinto said the fallen camp belongs to the oldest among the remaining Abu Sayyaf, one-armed bandit leader Radullan Sahiron.

He described the fallen ASG camp as "fortified with connecting trenches, well–

established firing positions and hundreds of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) emplaced in all approaches.”

Pinto said that the main camp is also surrounded by satellite camps.

However, he said the persistence of the troops to push forward forced the heavily armed bandits to escape and scamper toward different directions, taking along with them an undetermined number of casualties (dead and wounded comrades).

Army expects more rebels to surrender GUIPOS, Zamboanga del Sur – With the Gun for Peace Program of the government now, the Philippine Army has expressed optimism that more New People’s Army (NPA) rebels would surrender to avail themselves of the incentives.

Under this program, any NPA member who will surrender shall receive cash incentives for the firearms they will bring along.

It was learned that for M-16 rifle, the government will pay P58 thousand and for 1 AK, P48 thousand.

Lt. Col. Alvin Luzon, commanding officer of the 53rd Infantry Battalion based in Guipos, Zamboanga del Sur, said the local government units of Zamboanga Peninsula are very responsive and supportive of the program. “In fact they offer an area for the members of the NPA that will surrender to start their livelihoods.”

ligacion, who visited the 53rd Infantry Batallion Headquarters to personally meet the returnees, said “the government will surely support the request of the returnees to go back to school.”

He also expressed his happiness that the rebels had voluntarily surrendered without “exchanging fire with the armies. “Alam naman natin na nahihiwalay lang sila ng landas, pero kung tutulungan natin sila papunta sa tamang landas No need for fighting which is better kay sa sa magaway-away tayo,” he said.

(We all know that the rebels were just strayed in the wrong way, but if we will help them to be in the right path, then no need for fighting which is better than clashing with each other.)

NPA rebels are reportedly operating in the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay in region 9. (FPG/CM-GIP/ PIA-9)

AVAO DEL NORTE - Governor Rodolfo del Rosario declared Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) as the best location for an international airport.

Gov. Del Rosario said in an interview that IGACOS, specifically the Babak District, posed the highest potential as an alternative location for the expansion of the Davao International Airport.

Del Rosario said that Babak District still has vast land that could accommodate at least 1,000 hectares, a requirement for an international airport.

He also cited that the Babak District is just facing the Davao International Airport and with the Samal bridge that he will also push, it would

be advantageous to place the airport in the area.

Del Rosario said that since he recently assumed as the chairman of the Regional Development Council, the construction of an airport shall be one of his priorities projects to be revived.

He recalled that there was already a proposal passed years ago for the establishment of a new international airport.

“As the chairman of the RDC, the council will be assessing all the proposals passed in the last two decades that have not been implemented and will

push through with the projects that are needed to develop Davao region,” Del Rosario said.

However, Del Rosario said that if Samal City is not yet prepared, the province also has another location that has been placed during his administration in a private company.

“TADECO already has a strip that was used to land the plane of Imelda

Marcos during their regime,” he said.

Del Rosario said that it has a kilometer runway and considered in the map of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Philippines as an alternative runway.

TADECO is a Cavendish banana producing company located in Brgy.

planning to market their mushroom produced in Claveria and in some stores and malls in Cagayan de Oro City. Two kinds of mushroom will be produced: Dae-pung and Sambok. These are new varieties of oyster mushroom in Philippines. Dae-pung is sold at P39/200g. and Sambok is at P33/200g. About 15kg of mushrooms are harvested in a day which is very advantageous to mushroom growers.

In line with this project, local growing houses in selected Barangays in Claveria were already built. The construction of growing houses in Barangays Lanise and Luna was funded by the team. Due to the positive response of the farmers on this technology, there is a plan to build more local growing houses to other neighboring barangays. The KOICA team will provide fruiting bags to these barangays to grow mushrooms and also will assist in the marketing of their produce. As of now, the team is looking for whole-seller, retailer sand consumers of mushroom.

Unforgivable... from page 6

The national artist award is given to a person who has proved himself or herself in the field of the arts thus making that artist worthy to be elevated to that status.

The merit of the award is on the accomplishments of the artist in his or her chosen art which is movie acting in the case of Aunor.

Aquino even went to the extent by claiming he recognizes Aunor’s contributions to the arts and he does not question them.

But he could not confer the award on Aunor because of moral issues. This argument

by Aquino is stretching the imagination too far, to say the least.

If Aunor is being nominated to become a saint, then morals had to play an important role. But for Christ’s sake, Aunor is just nominated to become a national artist based on her accomplishments in that field which Aquino himself says he has no doubts about them. So why deprive her of the award she has already earned for herself?

Can a board or bar topnotcher be stripped of his or her being such because he had at one time or another entangled himself or herself in a criminal case? I don’t think licensure examinations are based on morals but ability and capability to answer the questions during such licensure examination.

Besides, one is not allowed to take any licensure examination if he or she has a pending case. In the case of Aunor, based on Aquino’s assertion, she had a conviction which she had already served.

I don’t think the bodies who nominated Aunor to be conferred the national artist award did not consider her alleged conviction before they included her among the nominees. They must have and just did not find any reason why Aunor should be barred from being conferred such award that she rightly deserves.

It is only Aquino who found it hard to confer the national artist award on Aunor because of her alleged conviction.

When Aquino opened his mouth to explain his position on the Aunor controversy that he alone created for himself, he was expected to be factual and truthful. Sadly, in this regard Aquino did not appear factual and truthful and this is unforgivable.

Given the resources of the government that are at his beck and call, it would have been very easy for him to have his facts checked if indeed it was fact that Aunor was convicted with any crime related to illegal drugs. The Philippine embassy in the US or the consular office in Los Angeles, California would have readily assisted him in this regard.

Inexplicably, however, it now appears that Aquino

in asserting Aunor had a conviction in the US simply relied on loose talk or tsismis. Aunor’s lawyer in that case has come out in open with guns blazing saying her client was never convicted of any crime in the US. She thus explained the procedure Aunor underwent in relation to her arrest at the LA airport because of a drug paraphernalia found in her luggage.

While the arrest was not denied, the lady lawyer of Aunor flatly denied there was a conviction that followed. I personally don’t know the legal rigmarole Aunor underwent in relation to her arrest. But I am taking her lawyer’s word on the matter as gospel truth for I find no reason why she had to risk her credibility issuing a lie.

But in the case of Aquino, I can’t find any justification for his error when he said Aunor had a conviction without any testimonial or documentary evidence to support his claim. Because of his blatant failure to check his facts, he made himself guilty of shooting from the hips.

Ecaldre said the victim, together with her sister-inlaw and brother-in-law, had been temporarily staying at a hotel in Pagadian City since last June 18 while waiting for her scheduled caesarian operation.

Bertulfo, together with her brother-in-law Arnulfo, went to the shopping mall to buy things she needed for her scheduled operation, Ecaldre said.

The police chief added that Arnulfo went out of the shopping mall briefly, leaving Bertulfo alone. He could no longer find her

Ecaldre said Arnulfo rushed to the Pagadian City Police Station to seek police assistance after he received a text from his sister-in-law asking for help. The text from Bertulfo, Arnulfo said, was brief: “Blue van, tabang (help).”

The police official said that so far no one has yet claimed responsibility on the incident. (MindaNews)

Biblical reflection

Bro. Edcel L. Closas

Honor Special Gospel of the day: Luke13:3135(July4, 2014-Friday) Luke 13:31-35- The Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected.

Nevertheless I must walk to day, and tomorrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perishes out of Jerusalem.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killed the prophets, and stoned them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord: This was the agony of Jesus due to the absolute rejection from his own people. In John 1:11-he came unto his own, and his own received him not.

In Mark 6:4-But Jesus said unto them, a prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Did you experience persecutions and rejections?

This was done to Jesus and it was very “painful” but still He forgave them: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO.
