Tiger shark

THE tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is a species of requiem shark and the only member of the genus Galeocerdo.

Commonly known as the “Sea Tiger”, the tiger shark is a relatively large macropredator, capable of attaining a length over 5 m (16 ft).

It is found in many tropical and temperate waters, and it is especially common around central Pacific islands.

Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body which resemble a tiger’s pattern, which fade as the shark matures. source: en.wikipedia.org

Flawed recovery program fails to reach majority of Yolanda-affected families AS much as some 780,000 families have either no livelihood support or are relying on scattered efforts of nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and the private sector, a study by research group IBON revealed.

IBON Executive Director Sonny Africa said government has not sufficiently reached hundreds of thou-

sands of affected families one-year after Typhoon Yolanda struck.

Most of the victims appeared to be kept in difficult circumstances in the past year, said Africa.

He said the super-typhoon affected the livelihood of about 5.6 million to six million workers especially in agriculture, fishing,

trade and transport.

Agricultural income in the affected areas, for instance, has been estimated to have dropped by 50 percent to 70 percent after Typhoon Yolanda, according to the study made by the group, adding, this is an additional blow for hardest-hit Eastern Visayas, which is among the poorest in the country and

heavily relies on agriculture.

Of those who have work, a survey of 1,094 respondents in six Eastern Visayas provinces shows that 8 out of 10 families earn less than P5,000 on the average every month.

Government reports that only some 215,471 families have been given livelihood See FAILS, page A9

again.”

Fadul’s statement came after Salugpongan Ta’ Tanu Igkanogon Community Learning Center in Sitio Nasiliban, Talaingod reported they were “harassed” by the government troops.

The IP (indigenous peoples) school administrators complained that government troops in Talaingod were “residing near the school and establishing patrol bases” which caused fear among the pupils and teachers and the disruption of classes.

Meanwhile, Datu Duloman Dawsay, spokesperson of the organization of Manobos, Salugpongan Ta’tanu Igkanugon, said “nothing has changed after the dialog because the military still resides near our communities and schools.

Violations of human rights (have) never stopped.” “ The communit y is

really disturbed of their [military’s] presence. We thought all the while that they will leave for good after the dialogue with them but their presence in our communities is steadily increasing,” said Dawsay.

Dawsay said that aside from the usual threats and harassments from the military, he is more appalled of military’s claim that the school is a “school of NPAs.” “Our school is a legitimate school because it is recognized by DepEd. It is owned by a community of civilians who want nothing but to live peacefully. We are worried by the military’s assertion because it legitimizes their presence in our communities which will have an adverse effect to our peace and order,” Dawsay lamented.

The Salugpongan Ta’ Tanu Igkanogon C ommunity Learning Center

filed a formal complaint before DepEd Region XI’s office prompting the latter to investigate issues which were earlier denied by the military.

On Thursday, a dialogue brokered by the Save Our Schools Network (SOS) and Defend Talaingod held at the DepEd Davao del Norte office in Tagum City reached an agreement to pull-out

the military troops from the Salugpongan Ta’ Tanu Ig kanogon C ommunity Learning Center and Butay Elementary School in Sitio Nasilaban, Talaingod.

But was that resolution really necessary?

Even some members of the august body question the propriety of the resolution.

It is true that the bridge repair is causing so much inconvenience to the travelling public specially in the southern part of Davao? but that is only temporary inconvenience compared to what happen if the bridge may one day collapse due to inattention of the DPWH. He added besides the delay was caused by several factors such as the removal of the informal settlers living under the bridge, the difficulty of boring for the foundation of the bridge because of hard objects below the surface of the river bed, bad weather conditions, etc..

The delay was never because of negligence said DPWH –XI Regional Director Mariano R. Alquiza who patiently explained the technical aspect of the conNOTICE NOTICE is hereby given that the intestate estate of the late MERLIE REYES PEARSON consisting a bank account particulary Savings Account at Metrobank - San Francisco Branch, San Francisco, Agusan del Sur with Account no. 148-3-14812106-1 with an amount of P180,117.59 is the subject of Extra Judicial Settlement of Heir of Merlie Reyes Pearson under the notarial registry of Atty.

struction. “IF they noticed that there are only few people working on the bridge it is because this project is equipment-based meaning to say that most of the work is being done by machines and only a few aspect of the work is being done by manual labor.” Alquiza again reiterated his promise to deliver a sturdy bridge to the people of Davao this November.

Even Mayor Rody Duterte disappointed with the outcome of the project but during his TV Program Gikan sa Masa Para sa Masa November 9. He told the people lets wait until the bridge will complete. We will stretch our patience it better to wait than to have another problem if the bridge will complete substandard. But he warned the constructor that make this bridge durable and dependable for the benefit of the people of Davao.

CAGAYAN de Oro City–– The police force in Northern Mindanao went into heightened alert following the bomb explosions in Misamis Oriental and Zamboanga City where three civilians were injured and a policeman.

Supt. Bernardo Mendoza, information officer and spokesman for the Philippine National Police in Region 10 based in Camp Alagar, Cagayan de Oro City, said they went on heightened alert as a

matter of “automatic reaction” to the blasts.

Mendoza said they did not have to wait for a directive to increase their alert level.

“We immediately deployed personnel to vital areas such as bus terminals,” he said.

A cop and a K-9 dog were injured in the Zamboanga blasts caused by improvised explosive devices.

Last week a bomb blast ripped through a public bus in Bukidnon, injuring four passengers.

The bus was on its way

to Cagayan de Oro from Tacurong City.

“We call on the public to be vigilant against suspicious persons and activities,” Mendoza said.

He added that police posters providing hotline numbers have been posted in public places.

In Cagayan de Oro, two bomb blasts in recent years remain unsolved.

The first in 2012 occurred outside a hotel, killing two, and the second was in 2013 at a high-end night spot, killing six including a provincial board member of Misamis Oriental.

This sub-port at the Phividec Industrial Estate in Misamis Oriental handles international container shipments.

Counting the Figures TEAM Mindanao of the Department of Tourism has just accomplished a milestone in tourism promotions at the World Travel Mart in London last November 3-6, 2014. DOT Assistant Secretary for Mindanao and concurrent Director for Region 11, Dir. Art Bongcato headed the group.

Composed of Directors from Regions 10 and 13, my friends, Dir. Butch Chan and Dir. Letty Tan with their senior tourism officials these ambassadors braved the cold weather of Elm Street to bring the best of what Mindanao can offer to Europe.

Attendance to travel mart is one promotion that must be sustained by DOT

and the stakeholders in the private sector to fill up the 156,000 hotel rooms of various categories in the Philippines that now stand with 76 percent average occupancy with a vacuum of 24 percent that needs 6,500 foreign arrivals daily.

Translating these figures to 2,372,500 Million more tourists in 2016 to hit the 5 Million forecasted arrivals before the end of the six years Aquino government.

While DOT may go as far as attending the ITB in Berlin this summer, Mindanao is the most attractive product to sell to the European travelers. With mystique and eco-tourism attraction, Camiquin Island in Northern Mindanao and the

Governments will have to reduce greenhouse emissions to zero by 2100 if the impact of climate change is to be kept in check at an affordable cost, a United Nations report said last Sunday. Such reports are not new. Only the dates are being changed year by year!

Anyway, if rapid steps were not taken to cut the emissions, however, the price could rise considerably, it said, warning that a failure to curb global warm-

ing by the end of the 21st century “will bring high risks of severe, widespread and irreversible impacts globally.” I am not an expert, but allow me to question if it will be really at the end of the 21st century?

Such an “irreversible

impact” would occur, for example, if Greenland’s vast ice sheets would melt, which could result in the swamping of coastal regions and cities. It’s melting already.

The effects of climate change were already evident in an increase in extremes of heat, heavy rainfall, the acidification of the world’s oceans and a rise in sea levels, the study said.

According to the report released by the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC), the cost of reducing carbon-dioxide emissions in the short term would not brake global growth to any great degree.

It said annual projected growth of 1.6 to 3.0 percent a year in consumption of goods and services would

be cut by just 0.06 of a percentage point per year if immediate action were taken.

The report is a 40-page synthesis summing up 5,000 pages of climate change studies already published since September 2013.

The studies establish with 95-percent certainty that almost all global warming seen since the 1950s is manmade. Imagine - since the 1950s!!!

The document, which has been edited for a week by officials from more than 120 governments meeting in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, is to furnish guidelines for a UN deal on global warming scheduled to be struck at an international summit See doring, page A7

Internet accessibility and student’s academic performance

The use of the Internet in the educational environment has enabled easy access to many resources, and information sharing.

Therefore, it also significantly increased student’s interest, attention and focused of the Internet.

The number of existing educational resources in the Internet has increased so that it is possible for students to prepare assignments and projects in any place where the internet is accessible.

However, the competence of information resources, authors’ experience and their academic qualifications should be considered carefully.

The differences between information presented by authors who are qualified and those who are not, are issues that should be addressed. Writing style and unity of subject matter attracts attention immediately and can be easily understood but those who are less qualified should not be taken seriously.

Although the efficiency of this technology is evaluated with use of proportion of the desired results in pupils’ achievement, it does not exactly come out and is difficult to determine.

The effect of the usage of internet among students is varied. They sometimes, use the Internet for reasons other than educational, like games that depict violence. Addiction to these internet games may even hamper the student’s academic performance.

Accessing purely entertainment-oriented games will undoubtedly have less of a positive impact on kids’ learning than would games with educational content incorporated into the games. For example, there are Cyber chase games that the same time are entertaining and also contain contents that exercises problem solving, math, geometry, science, etc.

One of the many ways that the Internet can help is to move education out of the classroom and create support anywhere, anytime for students.

Inter net access can help pupils to be fluent in technology. They are now comfortable in researching information, and with the fluency of information.

Also, home Internet use benefits the academic performance of children as young as age 10. If they have more time online they can improve their reading comprehension and total reading scores higher.

This was attributed to the text-heavy nature of the internet. Students logged on primarily to surf the Web. Web pages are heavily

text based. Thus, whether searching for information about school-related projects or searching for information about personal interests and hobbies (e.g., rock stars, movies), children who were searching the Web more were reading more, and more time spent reading may account for improved performance on standardized tests on reading.

Internet usage may result into higher standardized test scores in reading: “More time online was associated with higher reading comprehension and total reading scores, according to a study.” They attributed these results to the text-heavy nature of Internet Students logged on primarily to surf the Web.

Thus, whether searching for information about school-related projects or searching for information about personal interests and hobbies (e.g., rock stars, movies), children who were searching the Web more were reading more, and more time spent reading may account for improved performance on standardized tests of reading which depend heavily on reading skills.

“Bullying” means systematically and chronically inflicting physical hurt or psychological distress on one or more students or employees.

In 2012, House Bill 5496 or the Anti-Bullying Act of 2012, was submitted to Congress. It sought to promote greater awareness of the impact of bullying and how it can be prevented. But before the legislation was passed, the Department of Education (DepEd ) has adopted Order No. 40 or the Child Protection Policy to ensure special protection of children from abuse and bullying.

It was a huge step when President Benigno Aquino III signed Republic Act 10627, or the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013, which requires all elementary and secondary schools to adopt policies that will prevent and address bullying in the classroom.

The Act was signed last September 12, 2013.

It defined bullying as the use of written, verbal or electronic expression, or a physical act or gesture to cause physical or emotional harm by one student to another student.

Bullying can also mean

the creation of a hostile school environment, inf ringement of student rights, and “material and substantial” disruption of the school’s education process, according to the law.

The school is our children’s second home. Lawmakers said the school authorities should be proactive and responsive to the law in order to ensure the safety of the students.

DepEd finds the AntiBullying Act of 2013 as a “landmark piece of regulation” as it .enhances the DepEd’s existing Child Protection Policy and allows us to further develop our schools into learnercentered institutions.

The law now mandates schools not only to adopt policies addressing the existence of bullying inside the campus, but also to conduct a rehabilitation program for victims of bullying.

Schools are now required to set up clear procedures and strategies that will protect students who report on acts of bullying to prevent retaliation. Students may report anonymously, but the school may not take disciplinary action solely on the basis of an anonymous report. Names

of students who committed the act of bullying will also be strictly confidential except to persons involved in the case such as school administrators, teachers, and parents.

Appropriate sanctions will be made by the Secretary of Education on school administrators who will fail to comply with the act’s implementing rules and regulations. This applies to both public and private schools, wherein private schools’ permit to operate may be suspended.

Bullying is now the number one non-academic issue that most educators face, and is one of the top concerns of many parents.

Defined as an act of repeated aggressive behaviour in order to intentionally hurt another person either emotionally, verbally, or physically, bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person. Bullies may behave this way out of jealousy or because they themselves are bullied. When they leave school, they will most likely carry on their bullying in the workplace.

A study conducted recently, revealed that most students in high school have experienced various forms of abuse either from their peers or from their teachers. It also defined violence against children as any act that violates chil-

dren’s rights, particularly their right to physical and mental health, security and bodily integrity.

Children‘s perception of violence is focused on acts that hurt them physically or emotionally.

This even includes punishment given to them by teachers for misbehaving, like being made to squat, stand in the corner of a room, or stand under the sun (commonly practiced in schools in rural areas).

Although the children generally understood that these punishments are a way of disciplining them, the respondents said that they prefer a more positive way like being talked to or counselled by their teachers. They even consider bullying, when being called stupid or other demeaning terms, or being teased by their classmates.

The implementation of the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013, provides relief for the millions of students who experience bullying in school. It is hoped that the Anti-Bullying law will help schools create a peaceful environment where children can develop their full potentials.

It is high time that violence against children especially in schools, considered to be children’s second home and places for learning must be eradicated.

Skull, skeletons found inside belly of tiger shark

By Roel N. Catoto Surigao Bureau Chief

SURIGAO City—A tiger shark fished in waters between Bohol Island and Camiguin Island by a group of fishermen last Wednesday contained some unusual finds.

Fishermen from Punta Bilar in Surigao City got the surprise of their lives when they found human bones in the shark’s belly.

Fisherman Bodoy Gorgod, 48, who caught the fish, said they also found a human head and chomped lower leg, both parts with half-digested flesh.

“The smell is so disgustingly foul and we cannot bear the awful smell,” he said.

Until his latest catch, Gorgod, who has been fishing since he was 20, said he had never encountered a shark with human parts inside its belly.

“It was a huge shark and we think it weight at least 300 kilos,” he said in the dialect.

Fearing the ominous find, they threw the whole shark body, including the human remains back into the sea.

“We had to ditch it because it might only bring bad luck,” he added.

Although illegal, Surigao

Mayor faces raps for ‘unliquidated’ funds

By Roel N. Catoto Surigao Bureau Chief

SURIGAO City––A town mayor in Surigao del Norte faces criminal indictment for failing to liquidate cash advances.

In a press statement of the Office of the Ombudsman last Thursday said Tagana-an Mayor Cesar A. Diaz had cash advances from

the town’s coffers amounting to 4.6 million pesos from January 2004 to September 2011.

Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales found probable cause to indict Mayor Cesar Diaz for failure to render accounts as defined in Article 218 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC), from a complaint filed by See FUNDS, page A9

SHARP TEETH. A curious kid touches the shark’s sharp teeth on Sunday afternoon in Barangay Punta Bilar, Surigao City. The said tiger shark was caught by a group of fishermen in this village. Photo by Roel N. Catoto, Surigao Bureau Chief fishermen usually don’t spare sharks that happened to get in their way. Sharks can fetch P70 per kilo and commonly used as “fishball” ingredient.

Unknown to many, however, shark’s meat can be deadly if ingested because of its mercury content.

A day after they caught the human-eating shark, Gorgod and company they sun-dried the animal’s enormous jaw.

AMBOANGA City - A member of the police bomb squad was wounded when an improvised explosive device went off late Sunday in downtown Zamboanga City, officials said.

Dalubatan cried foul, saying his arrest as well the confiscation of the weapons had been done illegally because the arresting team did not present a search warrant.

He also denied owning the weapons, saying these were loaned to him by the military as a counter-insurgency measure. Police said the barangay official and his relatives even tried prevent the arrest.

But Surigao City Police Sup erintendent Rub en delos Santos sees nothing wrong with the conduct of his men, pointing out that Dalubatan’s arrest was a product of a hot pursuit operation after witnesses identified him.

Dalubatan admitted he was at the establishment attending a seminar, but denied allegations from the staff that he went back in the evening to stage the burglary. He said he was in Malimono that time because he had a session to preside.

Based on the CCTV, a man who appeared to be Dalubatan is seen pacing in and out surreptitiously on the stairs. Hours later, the man was seen entering the inn’s office where, using what appeared to be a long screwdriver, he forcibly opened several office tables and cabinets.

Dalubatan served as a driver of Malimono Mayor Teodoro F. Senaca before being elected in 2013. The mayor said Dalubatan’s doings are all his own when asked to comment on the allegations against the barangay official.

“Using the formula for calculating the size of a shark based on the size of triangular tooth (measuring the length of one side of the tooth in inches, then multiplying by ten to get the total length of the shark in feet), we get a shark tooth length of 1.25 inches or an estimated 12.5 footer shark, with a jaw diameter of 17 inches! Its girth at 90 inches, it was a large adult male in its class with an estimated weight of 600 kilos,” said Jake Miranda, a technical diver of Surigao Dive Club.

In his speech at the Philippine Development Forum on the Bangsamoro at the SMX Convention Hall Pres. Aquino cited the record-breaking and all-time high investments in the ARMM amounting to P3.3-B this year, saying this is part of the early gains of overall peace process in Mindanao.

In particular, he added, the government’s landmark peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, brought about stability and a good climate for investments in the ARMM. “The early impact of our efforts at peace, stability, and fostering a good business climate, has been near instant. Just look at ARMM. In just the first nine months of 2014, they registered a yearly all-time high of P3.37 billion in investments. “ This is more than double the P1.46 billion in investments recorded in 2013, and almost six times the P569 million in investments ARMM received in 2012.

“ARMM’s GDP has likewise been on an upswing, from a contraction of 0.3 percent in 2011, to a growth of 1.2 percent in 2012, and a growth of 3.6 percent in 2013. I am told that the growth of 5.6 this year is very attainable,” the President said.

Regarding this RBOI chairman and managing

thanked the President and ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman for their unstinting support in promoting investments in the ARMM. “The efforts of President Aquino at the beginning of his term in bringing peace to Mindanao was noticed by local businessmen in the ARMM and they responded positively to his peace efforts by re-investing their hard won capital in the region,” Mastura said.

Mastura added that Regional Governor Hataman was instrumental in convincing local businessmen that this time the peace efforts of the government will not be in vain but will be sustainable.

Hataman, on the other hand, said that he built the confidence of the business sector in the ARMM to continue investing in the region through his own unwavering support to the agenda for peace and development of the Aquino administration and to the reforms in governance that he started in the regional government.

According to him, “ the President and our constituents can rely on all of us in the autonomous regional government that we will reach the target economic growth rate of 5% this year with our best efforts.” (RBOI-ARMM/ DEDoguiles-PIA 12)

I AM CONFUSED! http://www.chinkeetan.com/ 35.

The reason why I was not confused because I know what I want and I already made up my mind.

In order to clear up the matter, here are some practical questions that you can consider asking:

TAN

by CHINKEE

I just received an email from an avid follower, he is asking what to pursue first, his passion in life or a job that can give him security.

Have you been in a situation wherein you’re torn between two good things?

What’s more valuable to you? Your passion or security?

Are you afraid of taking risk?

Have you come to the point of life that you’re so confused? How about not knowing what to do?

The reason why you are confused in life because there are conflicting thoughts running inside your mind.

At a young age I am so thankful and grateful to my parents, they were able to influence me in a way that I was able to make up my mind on what I am going to be when I grow up.

Mom: “Anak, gusto mo ba talagang yumaman?”

Chinkee: “Opo.” Mom: “Masipag ka ba at gagawin mo ba ang lahat mong makakaya para ikaw ay yumaman?”

Chinkee: “Opo.” Mom: “Magumpisa ka ng sarili mong negosyo.

Bakit mo pagyayamanin ang ibang tao kung kaya mong pagyamanin ang sarili mo!”

From that day on, I told myself that I wanted to become a millionaire before I reach the age of

WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT IN LIFE? To follow your passion, interests or follow the dictate of the people around you?

It is so hard to do something, if you do not know what you are doing.

It is going to be difficult to reach your destination, if you do not know where you are going.

It is so hard to find something, if you do not know what you are looking for.

Settle this first before you move on doing anything.

You cannot move on without making a choice and a decision.

The next question you need to ask is …

URGENT OR NOT URGENT? What is more urgent for you to follow your passion or earn money immediately after graduation?

If you need to earn immediate income, I believe you need to set aside your passion and dreams for a while. Wait until you are financially stable before you pursue what you want.

But if you do not have the immediate need to earn, you can follow your passion and take your time to experiment on new things and do what you really want in life.

I know this is kinda scary, going to experiment on doing something that is new is indeed frightening.

In order for you to get started, you got to answer the next question…

ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK OR SIMPLY STAY IN YOUR

COMFORT ZONE? Maybe you are staying too long in your comfort zone that is cause you to feel unexcited and frustrated in life.

There is nothing exciting and nothing new that is happening in your life.

Maybe its time for you to take the plunge.

Take the risk that can help you achieve your life long dream.

Before you make a decision in life; whether it’s minor or major, you got to ask yourself. What’s more valuable to you?

Your comfort zone or your dream?

The promise of gain outweighs the fear of failure.

Financial freedom, time freedom, free to take a vacation anytime you want, free to buy the things that you really want.

If you truly want to become FREE, you just got to take risk.

THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. Have you decided on what you want to do with your life?

Have you been putting off your decision to take the plunge?

What is stopping you from doing it?

of of of of

IT’s already the third week of November and for some reason, I just have this intuition to write about the youth of today in the region.

Maybe because I’l be judging the regional eliminations of the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) today here in Cagayan de Oro City. Or maybe there’s just many things that the youth in Northern Mindanao have

accomplished that are worth mentioning.

It’s 10:07 p.m. in the office as of this writing and I just received a text message from Cheenee Sebastian requesting a Mindanao Daily copy of the November 10 issue where their group – the SKETCH Bags feasibility project of Xavier Ecoville – was featured. The story behind the SKETCH Bags project is awe-inspiring. As early as 2012, seven Business Administration students from Xavier University already concocted a social enterprise project for their feasibility study, which is a major subject that runs through three semesters. At that time, social enterprise was still a

CIRCLE A WORD verbs galore (2)

wring write yearn yodel

burgeoning buzzword in the city. But the students were determined to push through the concept of a business that creates income but at the same time financially benefit the Sendong survivors of Xavier Ecoville.

Another endeavor worth tagging is the push of the Oro Youth Development Council for CDO to have its own Youth Code. Orphaned by the temporary abolition of the SK, Oro youth leaders who have merged together took it upon themselves to lobby for an ordinance that will be called the Oro Youth Code. Naga City became the first city in the Philippines to enact a youth code. This time, the Oro Youth Develop-

ment Council is drumbeating their advocacy by holding consultations at various barangays, schools and colleges in the city. Their cause will be paralleled with a series of concerts and sports activities so the youth will be enticed to participate in the consultations.

And then there’s Maxine Merin. Maxine is a resident ballerina of Grace and Pointes Dance Center and has been dancing since her elementary days. Today, she is a freshman Medtech student but she still juggles her time dancing when her company is invited to perform especially now that there are a lot of corporate events while Yuletide is approaching.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - One or both of your parents play an important role in today’s events -- even if they’re far separated by space or time. You may find that your ability to keep up is enhanced by their energy.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Your happiness is pretty well established today -- even if circumstances seem pretty dire. Your inner life is chugging along pretty well, and that means things can get a lot better really soon.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You save money on a major purchase today -- but then you reconsider whether you even needed to buy anything. Sure, you feel cheap, but it’s not so bad if you can have a big stash for later.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Where did all this energy come from? It’s like someone flipped a switch and turned on your internal engines. You can get plenty done and have a great time while you’re at it. Things should start to heat up!

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You feel a natural warmth that keeps you positive -- even if circumstances are dire. No matter what’s going on around you, it’s easy to find your center and work outward from there.
