2 Sino traders abducted By AL JACINTO, Regional Editor-Zamboanga
ZAMBOANGA City––Filipino gunmen abducted two Chinese traders in Zamboanga Sibugay, bringing to three the number of foreigners seized in that southern Philippine province since last year, police and military said Tuesday. It said at least six men raided the apartment of Jamp ong L in-Yuankai, 38, and Jian Luo, 48, in the town of Kabasalan late Monday and seized
the duo at gunpoint and dragged them to a waiting van. “We are doing our best to locate the two victims. Police and military forces
are now tracking down the abductors and their hostages,” said Chief Superintendent Manuel Barcena, head of the Directorate for Integrated Police Operations for Western Mindanao. Policemen and soldiers pu r s u i ng t h e g u n m e n recovered the vehicle–– burned at a nearby coastal village––without any sign of the victims, who are nat ives of Gu angdong province. B ot h foreigners are
engaged in buying and selling of manganese and other minerals and have been living in the town since last year. No individual of group claimed responsibility for the latest abduction, according to Chief Superintendent Napoleon Estilles, the regional police commander. In December last year, gunmen disguised as policemen also kidnapped an Australian adventurer Warren Rodwell, 52, in the
neighbouring town of Ipil. The kidnappers originally demanded $2 million dollars, but lowered this to P20 million, in exchange for Rodwell, who is married to a Filipina, Miraflor Gutang, 27. Ro dwell is b elie ved being held in Basilan, one of five provinces under the Muslim autonomous region in Mindanao. Army Lieutenant Colonel R andolph Cabangbang, a spokesman for the Western Mindanao
Command, and said that they have difficulty in tracking down Rodwell and his captors since they continuously moved from one hideout to another. “Even the intelligence units have not come up wit h ne w infor mation about Rodwell,” he said. The kidnappers have released last month a new video and a set of photographs showing Rodwell holding a newspaper. A report from Al Jacinto with Mindanao Examiner

BUTUAN City––The New People’s Army has owned up to the May 30 raid on the Philippine Army’s 23rd Infantry Battalion patrol base in Barangay Binicalan, San Luis, Agusan del Sur claiming that the raiders took 18 guns before they withdrew. In a press statement, the Cesar Cayon Command of the NPA’s Front 4A, North Central Mindanao, said 18 guns were seized consisting of an M16, three M14, a Carbine, and 12 Garand rifles and a .9mm pistol. Caraga police reported that an undetermined number of communist rebels staged the attack at around 3 a.m. resulting in the wounding of Paulino Asalan, 58, Melina Leganio, 41, Emma Diol, 28, and old boy. The report said the firefight lasted for an hour before the attackers withdrew
but did not say about the weapons they took from the Caraga police director Chief Supt. Reynaldo Rafal condemned the rebels for harming the civilians saying they “should be more prudent not to risk the safety of the populace.” Cesar Cayon Command spokesperson Ka Omar Ibarra said that aside from the three civilians, a soldier was wounded and allegedly ran as his alleged live-in partner took his rifle. The raiders allegedly administered first aid to the wounded before they withdrew, Ibarra said. I b ar r a a c c u s e d t he military for violating the Comprehensive Agreement on the Respect of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) for allowing civilians to stay and live inside the detachment.
Gunmen torch Basilan truck Z AMB OANGA City–– Gunmen flagged down and burned a cargo truck owned by the Basilan provincial government after its driver failed to pay extortion money, Filipino authorities said Monday. It said the gunmen
stopped the truck in the hinterland village of Baiwas in Sumisip town over the weekend and demanded money from the driver and his helper. When the gunmen failed to get any money, they torched the truck. Both the driver and his

the body is not yet ready for giving birth. They are at increased risk for complications, such as premature labor and other consequences. On the other hand, children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer social, and emotional problems. Effects of teenage pregnancy are not just pointed towards the health of the mother and the baby; these teens are far more likely to end up poor and have their children grow up in poverty. Not only that, young women who gave birth loses opportunities like finishing their education and might not find a decent job. Teen mothers usually never finish schooling, so the lower level of education doesn’t allow them to get a proper job or be prepared for the parenting that is ahead of them. Their career options are more than limited.

Expect the best THINK a minute. A famous professor from Harvard University did a study in a primary school. At the beginning of the school year the teachers were given the names of 5 children. The teachers were told that these 5 were the best students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average. Well, guess what? By the end of the year all 5 average students scored among the highest in the class. They even gained 15-30 I.Q. points! So what made those average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in the teachers’ attitudes. Since the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them
Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst and treated them with more respect. So these 5 average students began to believe and expect more from themselves, just by the way the teachers viewed and treated them. You know, if you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said: “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success,
and you’ll help make him the best he can be.” It reminds me of the true story of seven-yearold Johnny. His school teacher got so tired of him one day she said: “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest boy in this class! Besides that, you’re the dumbest!” The next year Johnny had a different teacher. After the first day of class, his new teacher met with him. She said: “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
Then she smiled and said to him: “But I don’t believe a word of it!” From the beginning, Johnny’s new teacher treated him as if he was one of the smartest, best behaved students. Well, you guessed it. After just a few months, Johnny became one of the top students in that class. Later on he was made a school prefect and leader! That’s the power of our love, belief, and encouraging attitude toward our children. You see, that’s how God loves and believes in you and the abilities He gave you. So won’t you ask Jesus Christ to take charge of your life today, and every day of your life? He’s the One Who will help you become your best. He’ll also help you to love and expect the best from others. Just Think a Minute.
A secretary from Timbukto THE adoption of K+12 program of the Department of Education (DepEd) is a product of ‘thinking without knowing.’ Does it sound ridiculous? Yes, it does! Indeed, it is unimaginable for education technocrats to ‘think without knowing’ programs that benefit only their daydreams. While these ‘think tanks’ believe that K+12 will upgrade the educational system, its result is actually dismal to the entire Cris Diaz educational system. Education Secretary Armin Luistro is the only person who believed in K+12. He wants to impress President Aquino that he is an asset to this administration. Bull! The truth is Luistro is no better than other ‘sipsips’ (stooge) of this administration. He wants to tell Aquino that he is better than the rest of the education Secretaries that this government ever have had. Thus, in his efforts for Aquino to give him preferential treatment, he (Luistro) conceptualized K+12. In addition, here is an administration that only ‘approved’ ‘without thinking’ to stooges. One cannot blame Aquino ‘though. The President wants to assure his men that he will always be at their side – even if the benefit of the common good is at stake. This illustrates the adoption of Luistro’s K+12 projects. Why adopt K+12 and add burden to the impoverished nation? Luistro contended that the Philippines is the only country in Asia left behind in terms education. He argued that all other countries in Asia already adopted the K+12 programs in their education system. ‘It is time
for the Philippines to be at par with other Asian nations, it is time to adopt K+12,’ Luistro said in defense of his brainchild K+12 projects. ‘Paghilom! Ga lamlam ka lang.’ (Quite! You (Luistro) are just gibbering). Who told you Luistro that the Philippines is the only country left behind by other Asian countries in education? Hey, this education Secretary does know what he is talking. Okay, Mr. Luistro, as a refresher, ‘the Philippines is the only English speaking country in Asia.’ Tell us, Mr. Luistro, if being the only English speaking country in Asia (perfect grammar and spelling) would mean behind other Asian countries. How could ‘brain drain’ be a problem in a country with a substandard education? Mr. Luistro is dreaming! This education Secretary is not a Filipino. Maybe, he came from Timbukto, the birthplace of Nixau. Mr. Luistro, we could advance the country’s education without adopting K+12. A viable approach is for public schools to hire competent technical teachers to improve the existing curriculum. For instance, kindergarten pupils could learn the basic in computer and technology subjects until reaching the Grade 4. At Grade 5, these pupils would decide on areas interesting to them. If a pupil would go for computer then he would now learn to operate the basic of computer. If he would decide on automotive, then he or she would learn details of the machine and probably driving and road courtesy. These subjects should be under the curriculum of ‘home economics and livelihood education’ that, at this time, are useless. Another useless curriculum is the Optional Subject from Grade 1 to Grade 6. Mr. Luistro, your K+12 is only good in Timbukto. React: crisguardian@yahoo.com
Intellectual culture THE most difficult thing is to instill the intellectual culture in the intellectuals’ mind.

Primarily, Agri-Pinoy Gulayan sa Paaralan Projet aimed to address problems on malnutrition by teaching the students the values of eating healthy food through sustaining the supplementary feeding program of DepEd. Children are taught on how to plant and grow vegetables through natural farming and to replicate
it at home to ensure sustainability. The meeting tackled on the amended guidelines of the implementation as stipulated in Executive Order No. 15, series of 2011; criteria and comp osition of evaluators for the best school garden contest; status and accomplishments for the 2011 beneficiaries of the project; and the 2012 target beneficiaries. The five-year program aims to cover 42,076 school gardens by 2016. As of writing, 574 beneficiary schools are confirmed to have benefited from the project in Region 10, while the other 342 is yet to be confirmed by the provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental. Meanwhile, for 2012 it is expected that 650 schools in the region will benefit from the project by receiving vegetable seeds and p l ant i n g m at e r i a l s .

A r e p r e s e nt at i v e from the DepEd Division of Misamis Occidental raised an issue that there are secondary schools identified as beneficiary of the program where agriculture is not even offered as a subject and normally takes most
of the extra time of students. DA-10 Crops Division OIC Chief Janen T. Paradero said that there should be a written documentation submitted to the higher management so that they can hear it out and find ways to address it to make the implementation better. Meanwhile, another repres entative f rom DepEd also said that if the school head has the will to implement the program whether it is part of the curriculum or not, then he would find a way to address
the issue. Regional Reports Officer for Agri-Pinoy Gulayan sa Paaralan Gleen A. Janubas announced that the Department of Agriculture will also distribute 5 kilos of worms and vermi bed for each of t he 316 b enef iciar y school from CY 2011 and 400 schools for CY 2012 beneficiaries in the region. Training will also be conducted prior to the distribution of materials for vermiculture. It has b een agreed dur ing the meeting that focal
persons should disseminate the information to the heads of target school beneficiaries so that they could prepare the area intended for the project. Moreover, to continually monitor the development of the project fo cal persons are also tasked to submit a monthly report with regard to the distribution of inputs and production data of existing gardens every end of the month to DA- Regional Field Office 10.# (VANESSA MAE S.

peace adviser Teresita Deles and three other provincial governors – Sakur Tan, of Sulu; Sadikul Sahali, of Tawi-Tawi; and Mamintal Adiong, Jr. of Lanao del Sur - were also present during the peace pact initiated by Muslim religious leaders in Basilan. “We are glad that peace has been achieved between two families,” said Tan, an influential politician, who are also closed to both Akbar and Hataman. Akbar is the wife of Basilan Congressman Wahab Akbar who was among 4 people killed in a motorcycle bomb explosion outside the House of Representatives in 2007. Akbar’s family implicated Hataman and former Basilan governor Abdulgani Salapuddin, and other politicians as behind the attack. Hataman and Salapuddin, who is now in hiding, strongly denied all accusations against them. The feud began after Hataman, who was then an aide to Basilan Congressman Wahab Akbar, split with the politician to support his brother Jim Hataman, who is now a congressman. (Mindanao Examiner)
