Oral arguments on village poll reset start October 21

By BENJAMIN PULTA

MANILA – The Supreme Court (SC) will commence oral arguments on the pe tition questioning the re scheduling of the barangay election on Friday.

In a press briefer on Tues day, the SC said a meeting en banc set the oral arguments at 3 p.m. on October 21.

Respondents must file their comments no later than noontime of the same day.

Poll laywer Romulo Ma calintal on Monday asked the high tribunal to declare unconstitutional Republic Act (RA) No. 11935 that reset the Barangay and Sang guniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) from December 5 this year to October 2023.

The petition also wants the SC to direct the Commis sion on Elections (Comelec) to proceed with the polls this year.

The Sangguniang Ka bataan is not included in the petition as “SK membership is a mere statutory right conferred by law and that Congress may amend at any time the law to change or even withdraw the statutory right,” Macalintal said.

Macalintal argued that the Constitution does not give Congress the power to postpone the elections nor to extend the term of office of village officials because it is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Comelec “after it has determined that

Hints and Traces

The need for constant vigilance and accounting

CHRIST reminded us about this need of ours when he said: “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” (Lk 12,39-40)

We have to be keenly aware that our life here on earth is a testing ground God uses to see if what he wants us to be is also what we ourselves would want to be. God wants us to be his image and likeness, to be sharers of his divine life and nature, thus, he gave us our spiritual powers of intelligence and will so we can know him and love him, and want to be one with him. Besides, he gives us his grace, so we can attain the supernatural level of his life and nature.

Every event in our life is actually an occasion to test us if we also would like to be like him. Thus, he gave us his commandments to guide us. Much more than that, he gave us Christ himself, “the way, the truth and the life,” so we would know how to be with God given our wounded condition.

We need to be always vigilant and do abiding accounting of how we are doing, given this original and ultimate condition and purpose of our earthly life. Since God has made us stewards of our own life, we need to learn how to man age the many resources en trusted to us so that we can be fruitful and productive in this life. Let’s remember that God will always ask us to account for what he has given us.

Among these resources, our time occupies a promi nent and crucial place and plays a strategic role. It has been said that time is very precious because once it has passed, it can never be recovered. Some saints have regarded time not only as a treasure but also as glory, depending on how it is used.

We have to be really good in managing our time, be ing clear about the proper motives, priorities and stan dards in the use of time. The motives should be none other than love of God and others. The priorities should always be God first, then others, then ourselves.

And we should all have an abiding concern for ac counting everything that we are and that we have. We

Importance of financial literacy amidst digital growth

THE pandemic may have brought a negative impact on global health and econo mies, but it also presented opportunities to some -such as for businesses to rethink their strategies, and for customers and em ployees to embrace a new method of engagement.

At the peak of the corona virus outbreak in 2020, the country saw a rapid growth in the e-commerce industry as people switched to a safer and more convenient way of purchasing goods.

For this year alone, a study by Statista said that the e-commerce industry in the Philippines is projected to increase to US$20.18 billion, and further by 17 percent in 2025.

Even more notable is the increase in the number of banked Filipinos with e-wallet accounts. From a mere 8 percent in 2019, the number of e-wallet users has gone up to 36 percent.

Reports said millennials and the Generation Z, which comprise 70 percent of the Philippine population, are among the driving forces behind this e-wallet adop tion.

just cannot go on with our life as if we are not answer able to anybody, especially to God, from whom we all come and to whom we all belong.

This is an indispensable part of our life, an unrelin quishable duty to perform. Our problem is that many still are ignorant of this duty, and of those who al ready know about this, the tendency is to take it for granted or to do it badly or to avoid it if given the chance.

We need to find a way of instilling this duty in everyone, starting with one self and then encouraging others to do the same, in the context of the families, schools, parishes, offices, etc.

We have to be most aware of where we come from, what dignity and status we are given, what duties and responsibilities are en trusted to us, etc. And let’s remember that we need to handle them properly.

The rise of the e-com merce industry created a domino effect on the fi nancial industry, having recorded a rise in the num ber of banked Filipinos. This was supported by the emergence of digital bank ing that has gained ground amid electronic payments and digital financial ser vices’ increasing volume and value.

According to data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipi nas (BSP), 23 percent of the Filipino adult population is now banked, up from only around 13 percent in 2019.

Then there are the ewallets that have further evolved, offering more services and solutions for Filipino customers. One example is Maya Bank Inc. (MAYA), formerly PayMaya Philippines, which recently integrated its all-in-one money platform under Maya app, combining the best of e-wallet, crypto, and digital banking.

Maya offers an interest rate of as much as 6 per cent per annum—markedly higher than interest rates offered by any traditional bank. Since its launch five months ago, it has since reg istered 1 million subscribers and achieved PHP10 billion worth of deposits.

Apart from Maya, five more digital banks have secured a license to oper ate from the BSP, namely Overseas Filipino Bank Inc., UNOBank Inc., UnionDigi

tal Bank Inc., Tonik Digital Bank Inc., and GoTyme.

The continuing digi talization in the country and its positive reception means that it is here to stay. According to a survey by finder.com, Filipinos with digital bank accounts will account for 33 percent of the adult population by 2027. On average, 34 percent of people worldwide will have a digital bank account within the next five years, up from an average of just 19 percent in 2022.

In the context of the ris ing inflation, there is a huge opportunity for the banking industry to ramp up on edu cation and financial literacy. Without the basic knowhow on managing finances, people will be more at risk of making wrong decisions on how and where to save and invest their money. In fact, this concept should be introduced in early child hood education, to provide for a strong foundation on money management.

Through an effective financial literacy program, Filipinos will be able to make sound financial

Purpose-driven education

By WINALYN B. PAGLINAWAN Teacher I Faustino C. Decena Elementary School Division of Ozamiz City

WHAT if purpose were the purpose of education? Pur pose is a future-directed goal that is personally meaningful and aimed at contributing to something larger than the self. A sense of purpose motivates and organizes shorter term goal setting, goal action and behavior.

With a sense of purpose, young people are more in cluded to seek out and gain the skills and expertise they need to fulfil their goals so purpose can drive learning that results in the necessary college and work life skills to succeed.

What if we put purpose – this motivating driver –at the center of education and let that purpose be the primary driver of students’ engagement with school? It

is compelling but not simple. Purpose is multidimensional and constructed individually.

A sense of purpose in cludes beyond the self-moti vation, a meaningful higher order goal and taking action. These three dimensions de velop independently and integrate, weaving together what is personally mean ingful with what is socially consequential, resulting in fully realized purpose.

To develop a sense of purpose beyond self, invite students to think about the kind of work they want to live in and how will they participate in creating that world. An example of fos tering a purpose beyond self-orientation is the value of contributing to a better world.

Among the topics dis cussed in the training were natural fermented solutions

with a demonstration on fermenting fruit and plant juice, fish amino acid, and indigenous microorgan isms, as well as techniques and other tips on nursery management and seed sow ing. ( PNA)

A Reminder of the Code of Conduct for Public Employee: Integrity and Responsibility of DepEd Teachers

When nothing governs an organization, there is chaos. When it is bounded by something, there is order. I believe that is why every organization that exists has this code of conduct. There must be something that gov erns and ‘binds’ the people in an organization. When certain laws and guidelines are laid out to people within an organization, actions and decisions are anchored on something right and legal. This, for me, creates order in the organization.

As an employee of the Department of Education, I become a government employee. Like other gov ernment employees, I am also subject to the code of conduct for public officials and employees set by law makers. I understand that as an employee of the govern ment, I must abide by the rules and regulations stated in the code of conduct. To quote from Republic Act No. 6713, “Public officials and employees shall at all times be accountable to the people and

shall discharge their duties with utmost responsibility, integrity, competence, and loyalty, act with patriotism and justice, lead modest lives, and uphold public interest over personal interest.” In a nutshell, the code of conduct asks me, as a public employee, to carry out a high standard of ethics in public service.

Even before I got into the department, I knew there were things a public em ployee must do and must not do. I understand them in a general sense. But reading through the code of conduct made me rethink its weight. Responsibility, integrity, com petence, loyalty, patriotism, justice – these are big words. And within those big words lie more specific things that I must adhere to. So, as I was reading each part of the act, I also evaluated myself, slightly, if I was upholding what is expected of me. I would not say I was perfect in all its sense; however, I would humbly say I tried my best to remain true to what it wants me to uphold.

By RAYMOND CARL DELA CRUZ

MANILA – PLDT, Inc. wel comed the recent statement of DITO Telecommunity, Inc. regarding its “open ness” to amicably settle its unpaid contractual obliga tion to PLDT amounting to PHP430 million.

In a statement on Tues day, PLDT said the amount is meant to pay for services that the company “continues to deliver.”

“PLDT welcomes the amicable settlement of ac counts by its debtors even if those debtors are competi tors,” it said.

It asked DITO to demon strate “good faith” by ceasing claims of interconnection issues that merit “unspeci fied legal process” instead of paying its contractual

obligation to PLDT.

“DITO must demonstrate its good faith by ceasing its attempts to confuse the issue and to mislead the public by claiming that PLDT’s efforts to collect on DITO’s debt is somehow an anticompetitive activity,” it said.

To date, it has yet to re ceive a settlement proposal from DITO.

“PLDT reserves all of its legal options, including suspension or termination of services, in case DITO does not remedy its material breach by November 4,” it said.

Int’l card network exec eyes virtual credit cards in PH

By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA – An executive of Union Pay International (UnionPay) Southeast Asia said issuance of the virtual cards among credit card providers is a boost amid digitalization push for fi nancial transactions in the Philippines.

During the virtual 42nd anniversary celebration of the Credit Card Association of the Philippines (CCAP) on Monday, UPI South east Asia assistant general manager David Chong said the utilization of mobile payments increases along with smart phone usage penetration in the country.

Chong said credit card

issuers thus “can consider issuing virtual cards that allow online purchase and also the contactless payment as well as the QR (quick response) code payment.”

“These will significantly reduce the issuance cost of issuing credit cards, not to mention the much faster speed of deployment,” he said.

He added the number of credit cards issued in the country remains low compared to the total popu lation, a similar picture with Indonesia but a contrast with Singapore.

During the same event, BSP Deputy Governor Chu chi Fonacier said credit card financial has recovered after getting a hit at the onset of the pandemic, citing the double-digit growth in credit card billings and receivables as of the first half of this year.

Credit card receivables also increased by 23.7 per

“With demand for digital financial products increas ing, there is still a lot of scope for growth in the credit card industry,” she said.

Salceda said.

Last week, Medalla said BSP is reviewing the inter est rate cap on credit card transactions, arguing that “given the higher interest rates, it’s obvious that we have to adjust the cap.”

Salceda said limiting credit growth should be pursued if inflation were because of “very high money supply” in the economy, but he argued that inflation isn’t a liquidity problem right now.

“Liquidity growth is ac tually slowing down. From 7.0 percent in July to 6.8 percent in August. So, given our inflation rate, there isn’t any real liquidity growth. There isn’t too much money in the Philippines,” he said.

He also noted that given BSP’s own declared policy goals to make payments cashless, an upward shift in credit card caps is “hardly encouraging”.

He said higher credit card interest rate caps will probably bring the Philip pine rates to among the highest in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).

“In Thailand, the cap is 18 percent per annum. It’s 17.5 percent in Malaysia. It’s 28 percent in Singapore. And Indonesia has the same cap as we do. Our current average interest rates on credit cards is already for subprime customers in the US. Why inflict pain on ourselves?,” he said.

He said the House ways and means panel will review any move by the BSP to raise credit card interest rate caps invoking monetary policy.

“Monetary policy is the sphere of the Committee on Ways and Means, based on our mandate. While we respect the independence of the Central Bank to make

He said the BSP Char ter mentions reporting to Congress at least 14 times, including a quarterly report explaining the decisions it makes.

“We’ll assert that Con gressional function if need ed. I urge the BSP to be more circumspect about this decision on credit card interest rate caps,” he said.

Makati City Rep. Luis Campos Jr., meanwhile, has filed a House Resolution 459 “strongly urging” the BSP to retain the existing limits on credit card charges to help Filipino consumers cope with inflation that hit a four-year high of 6.9 percent in September.

“We want the BSP to keep credit card pricing reasonable and within reach of consumers that are now reeling from the soaring cost of goods and services,” Campos said.

He said salaried Filipinos are struggling to make ends meet.

They are increasingly relying on their credit cards to make essential purchases and to pay bills, including the tuition fees of their children, he added.

In the resolution, Campos urged the bank ing regulator to preserve the 2 percent maximum monthly interest rate on unpaid outstanding credit card balances.

The resolution also urged the BSP to maintain the maximum 1 percent month ly add-on rate on credit card installment loans, and the PHP200 per transaction ceiling on cash advance

The BSP is set to review all three thresholds next month.

In three previous semiannual reviews, the banking regulator decided to keep the caps.

“The lifting of the ceil ings would only aggravate the financial burden of con sumers,” Campos said.

According to the BSP, more than 10.3 million Filipinos have been issued credit cards, and the banking system’s credit card receiv ables stood at PHP478.4 billion as of June 30, 2022.

Campos’ resolution wants the force and effect of BSP Circular 1098 series of 2020 kept unchanged.

The circular was issued two years ago, amid the se vere economic difficulties, including job losses, caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

Before the imposition of the caps, banks charged interest rates of up to 42 percent per annum (or 3.5 percent per month) on un paid outstanding credit card balances.

Banks also collected up to PHP500 per transaction in cash advance processing fees. ( PNA )

Brigada Eskwela 2022 ignites cooperation

(By: TITO P. YONGAO )

Gone are the days where children spend their first day in school by cleaning the class room and the whole campus. Today their first day is a special day for them to meet friends and explore things around them, through the conduct of Brigada Eskwela or Schools Maintenance Week/ Month.

Our way of implement ing Brigada Eskwela trans formed the school into an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. For the past two years, Cugman Elementary School opted distance learning due to the pandemic, the school atmo sphere became idle and unat tractive. The pronouncement of DepEd for the opening of in-person classes ignites the teachers, parents, and stakeholders to participate

together and commit to be ing part of the 2022 Brigada Eskwela Implementation Pro gram.

The spirit of volun teerism is evident through the unwavering support of stakeholders and partners. In fact, the school was able to generate tremendous value of donations of materials, cash, and services rendered through “Pahina”. Dona tions of stakeholders are in cash or in kind or materials exceeded the expectations. Shared responsibility and social accountability are pal pable among stakeholders. The helping hands of the people in the community enable the school to reach and achieve the safety of the school return goal “Tugon sa Hamon ng Ligtas na BalikAral”.

Multiplying Signed Numbers Made Easy

MARY JOY D. PADREQUIL SST III BUGO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BUGO, CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY

One of the most important skills that a learner should develop is the ability to mul tiply. As early as grade 3 the learners were already exposed to the repeated ad dition which is shortened to multiplication. They were even asked to memorize the multiplication table 1 to 10 in order to be familiar of the products of factors from 1 to 10. However, things become more complicated in multi plication when the signed numbers were introduced.

Teachers should find ways in order to facilitate under standing of the concepts on the laws of signed numbers. The use of two types of colors, two kinds of objects, or gain and loss could be a good way to introduce addition and subtraction of signed numbers. I also thought of an easiest way to help stu dents discover the laws in multiplying signed numbers. That is to relate it to English statements.

Example, “She is very beautiful”. The statement as

a whole is positive. The word “very” denotes positive word, and beautiful is also positive. So, if we multiply (+) and (+), the result is positive (+).

For the statement, “He is not bad”. The word “not” signifies negative, and bad is also negative. But the state ment is a positive one since it means “He is good”. So, if we multiply (-) and (-), the result is positive (+).

Look at this sentence. “The students are not active.” This is a negative statement. The word “not” is negative, and active is positive. So, if we multiply (-) and (+), the result is negative (-).

For this, “I can never achieve my goal”. The state ment is negative. “I can” denotes positivity, and never is negative. Thus, if we mul tiply (+) and (-), the result is negative (-).

Relating abstract concepts to learner’s experience or simple English statements would help them easily un derstand it. Try this in your Math classes.

Game-Based Learning vs. Gamification: The Line in Between

NAME OF TEACHER: JASON M. MADRONERO POSITION: SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHER I SCHOOL: OZAMIZ CITY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

If you’ve looked into adding game elements to your classes, you’ve probably heard of gamifi cation and game-based learning (GBL). Even though it might seem like a simple matter of words, mixing up these approaches could lead to costly consequences. What, then, is the difference?

Game-based learning is a way to teach a skill or reach a learning goal using game elements. It makes lessons and learning objectives engaging and fun. On the other hand, gamification is when game mechanics are used in situations that aren’t games to get people to act in a certain way and help them learn. Think points, badges, leaderboards, and incentives.

The main difference between the two is the integration of game mechanics with learning lessons. GBL fully integrates the two, so the game is learning. On the other hand, gamification is a way to reward learners for finishing tasks by adding game elements to them.

In a game-based learning environment, learners can practice skills and learn new ideas without taking risks. Their progress in the game is directly related to their understanding of the subject be ing taught. GBL has a significant impact on retention and recall rates with learners. Learners are more engaged with the subject matter because it makes learning fun. And when engagement rates increase, so does retention. GBL can also teach complex concepts. Fun and challenging learning keeps

students engaged for longer, which allows for teaching more complex concepts. Students can apply new skills and knowledge without realworld consequences. They get feedback to improve their skills before using them in real life. GBL has a significant disadvantage. GBL requires lesson plans, making them costly and time-consuming.

Gamification motivates stu dents by integrating educational apps and simulations with lessons. Adding levels or progress bars to lessons is easy. Points for correct answers and leaderboards can make it more complicated. Gami fication encourages participation. Gamification uses human needs to collect, compete, and succeed. They enliven simple learning lessons. Gamification encourages students to finish more courses to beat their high scores, climb the leaderboard, or earn rewards. Gamification can be added to your learning platform quickly and cheaply without having to create new lessons. But then, gamification is not suitable for all lessons. It works best for memoriza tion or non-disruptive tasks. Since the lessons are not gamified, they are not particularly interesting. Lessons must be straightforward to comprehend. If it takes too long for learners to finish, their engagement decreases, and the gamification element becomes less effective.

Applying game-based learning or gamification depends on your lessons. Without careful consider ation, either strategy can demotivate students and increase attrition.

Deped Order No.44 s. 22 Amendment to DepEd Order No.34 s. 22 titled School Calendar and Activities for the School year 2022-2023. Item no. 16 and 17 of DO 034, s 2022 are amended as follows:

16. Private schools may continue to implement any of the following options:

2019 titled Policy Guidelines on k to 12 Basic education Program and DO 001 s 2022 titled revised policy guidelines on homeschooling program. All other provisions stated in DO 34 s 2022 shall remain effective unless otherwise amended by other DepEd issuances.

It is now at PHP19 to PHP20. We started in Region 1, Region 2, and Region 3 yesterday upon signing the MOA to at least help our farmers),” Rosendo added.

He noted that these three regions produce 65 to 70 percent of the country’s entire rice harvest.

The SINAG said this move is part of their re sponse to the earlier call of President Ferdinand R. Marcos to aid farmers and provide more affordable food to Filipinos.

“Ang marching order kasi ng ating presidente, dapat ang private sector, tumulong sa ating govern ment, tayo naman, gusto natin hindi lang tumulong sa magsasaka, sa consumer dapat ayusin din ‘yung retail price (The marching order of the President was for the private sector to also help the government.

Technology integration in the classroom

MARY ANN C. YAMARO MT-I EL SALVADOR CITY CENTRAL SCHOOL

DIVISION OF EL SALVADOR CITY

In today’s culture, technol ogy is advancing at breakneck speed, making it nearly im possible to keep up. Tech nology is critical because it pervades almost every aspect of our lives, including our communities, homes, and even our automobiles. Most schools, however, struggle to integrate technology into classroom curriculum. Many people are only now realiz ing how powerful technol ogy can be in teaching and learning. When used cor rectly, technology can help students learn the skills they need to live in a complex, technologically based world.

Technology integration in the classroom entails far more than simply teaching fundamental computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class.

grading systems can make a significant difference in students’ academic growth.

PowerPoint presentations can be used to introduce a concept in the classroom while also encouraging par ticipation. In addition to graphics and bulleted in formation, links to videos that accompany the ideas presented in the PowerPoint can be embedded within the slides.

In this connection, region and division monitors are conducting intensive moni toring for the 100 percent in-person classes and LRCP from time to time. This is to recover learning loss and to prepare schools in the 5 day in-person classes. It is evident that region and divi sion monitors are checking the following in schools such as LIS and actual enrolment, school readiness, monitoring and implementation in cur riculum and governance. The Rx ADOBE learning recovery and continuity plan monitor ing tool which emphasizes the curriculum, assessment and instruction with literacy numeracy and ENSCIMA programs is used. It also pose questions as to learning resources and other prior ity focus on LRCP such as tracking tool for the learners’ progress, class program, cur riculum mapping, teacher’s development, teacher’s par ticipation in the development of LRCP, SDO/Academic sup port, external stakeholder’s support/partnership, budget allocation and monitoring and evaluation and mechanism.

I believe that technol ogy has enhanced pupils’ academic performance in school. The use of technol ogy in the classroom would greatly assist students in learning more effectively. The use of technology during whole-class instruction can increase student engagement for auditory and visual learn ers. Simple technologies such as Power Point presentations, games, internet homework assignments, and online

Kahoot, a classroom edu cational app, can be used to review information after a lesson or unit. Teachers can create and share Kahoots with one another, and students can play using anonymous usernames. Students who are usually reluctant to par ticipate in class can now participate as a group. Kahoot can be played on phones or computers, and teachers can instruct students to work independently or in groups.

Technology is a tool that will help every person communicate with peers and improve their learning experiences. Additionally, it can boost student engage ment while accommodat ing different learning styles. Technology in the classroom is frequently viewed as a valu able resource in education, in my opinion.

decisions, avoid incurring debt, and achieve financial goals. Understanding how finances are ably handled is also a need that was high lighted during the pan demic, with people going through unexpected finan cial challenges triggered by health emergencies, job loss, business shutdown, among others. Those who were financially knowledge able and prepared for any eventualities were able to survive and even thrived.

Aside from education, the government must also put in place a solid regu latory framework on the new technologies in the financial sector to reduce uncertainties and most im portantly, protect consumer welfare. There are many Filipinos who are still try ing to understand the basics of monetary management and might fall prey to con tricks in the guise of tech innovations.

At the end of the day, there should be a check and balance, with leaders in government and in the pri vate financial sector going back to what matters most in espousing innovationenhanced experiences for businesses and consumers that make lives easier and more productive.

diversity, and air and water quality assessments. The consultants shared findings from their baseline studies and recommendations based on those findings.

The ECC refers to the document issued by the DENR-EMB that allows a proposed project to pro ceed to the next stage of project planning, which is the acquisition of approv als from other government agencies and LGUs, after which the project can start implementation.

Expanding Xavier Ateneo’s post-pandemic learning spaces and oppor tunities, the new 21-hect are Masterson Campus, named in honor of the late Fr William Masterson SJ, is envisioned to catalyze development in Northern

Mindanao with a sustain able and New Normal-ready campus masterplan.

The Campus of the Fu ture is characterized by an abundance of space, green areas, wide roads, dedicated bike lanes, campus-wide wireless connectivity, and healthy and adaptable learn ing facilities for virtual and physical classes.

The project aims to re invent Xavier Ateneo as a more socially relevant and inclusive learning institu tion focused on strengthen ing its colleges and schools, such as Agriculture, Arts & Sciences, Business & Man agement, Computer Studies, Education, Engineering, Nursing, and Medicine.

The Masterson Campus will blend seamlessly with the adjacent Manresa Town to be developed by CLI, a 14.3-hectare mixed-use university town with gener ous open spaces providing XU students convenient and safe residential options, easy access to commercial establishments and futureready offices.

The 21-hectare Campus of the Future will be supple mented by over 25 hectares of surrounding forested areas (protected forests and animal sanctuaries).

According to Xavier Ateneo President Fr Mars P Tan SJ, “We envision an academically stronger uni versity in this new campus – one that will facilitate learning in the New Nor mal and at the same time, produce men and women for others that can make relevant contributions to Mindanao.”

The public hearing was attended by representatives from the affected barangays, XU administrators, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and other concerned stakehold ers.

Officials and residents of Brgy Lower Balulang raised concerns regarding possible flooding and traffic which were discussed by the body.

However, the technical consultants assured that the project will have mitigating measures in place, such as detention tanks to hold back and prevent rainwater from flooding the barangays, and planned routes and spine roads to disperse traffic.

Some alumni declared their desire to honor the legacy of Fr Masterson and SEARSOLIN (an institute that closed down in 2014) by retaining the Manresa Campus as it is.

However, college stu dents, represented by their

council leaders, declared their support for the new campus seeing how it would improve the quality of edu cation for future generations of students not only in the city, but throughout the country as well.

Engr. Lennie Ong, who represented Xavier Ateneo during the hearing, assured that XU and CLI are dedi cated to making this project beneficial to the entirety of Cagayan de Oro City.

Ong enjoined all present to work together to fulfill Fr. Masterson’s Impossible Dream not only for Xavier University, but for the region and Mindanao as well. She expressed her hope that with the new campus, XU hopes to fulfill that dream for future generations.( RMB )

Earlier in March, the RDC recommended P12 billion worth of projects for the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro, District Cong. Rufus Rodri guez said.

Rodriguez asked the RDC’s endorsement for big-ticket projects that would address major problems in Cagayan de Oro, including heavy traffic and flooding in the city’s key areas during heavy rains.

The RDC unanimously endorsed the following bigticket projects:

These projects include:

(1) Construction of a Gusa flyover worth P925 mil lion

(2) Installation of a mega flood control system, including booster and water pumps, in Bitan-ag Creek, Agora Market area, and Butuan-CdeO-Iligan Road (BCIR) conjunction worth P945 million;

(3) Construction of BCIR Connector Road to the Coastal Road worth P150 million in Brgy. Gusa;

(4) Construction of an elevated walkway worth P300 million, from the Northern Mindanao Medical Center all the way to the Gateway Tower in Limketkai; and

(5) The conduct of a feasi bility study worth P 50 million for the Comprehensive Master plan of the Cagayan de Oro Drainage System.

“We have to push for the approval of these infrastruc ture projects in order that problems about traffic and flooding in the city are ad dressed,” Rodriguez said.

During the budget hear ings in September, Rodriguez worked for the approval of the P 718 billion by the Depart ment of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and sought an additional P100 billion for

more infrastructure devel opment in the ciry’s second congressional district here.

of the 19th Congress, Ro driguez has filed 176 bills and resolutions. This puts the Kagay-anon congress man in the list of ‘most productive’ representatives with most number of bills and resolutions filed.

Rodriguez also boasts of a perfect attendance in his first 100 days, recording no absences in all sessions in Congress.

The 100 days report likewise presented the to tal amount of increases he requested for different gov ernment agencies during the Congress budget hearings last September amounting to P256.6 Billion. It can be remembered that Rodriguez adamantly demanded to restore slashed budgets of departments, including the P80.5 billion cut from the Department of Education’s 2023 budget.

The lawmaker also re ported holding a series of groundbreaking activities for major infrastructure projects in the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro worth P1.8 Billion, such as the ByPass and Diversion Road and the Eastern Interior Bypass Road in Brgy. Gusa, among others.

Working in close coordi nation with regional offices, Rodriguez reports opening of 280 scholarship slots un der TESDA for residents in CdeO from July to October. Moreover, on the first week

of October, more than 200 individuals were accepted into DOLE’s Government Internship Program (GIP) through his efforts.

He likewise stated in his 100 days report the 1,200 beneficiaries assisted through his Congressio nal funds in the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) and DSWD, as well as 600 families receiving food packs distributed to calamity victims and vari ous organizations around the city.

Known for his personal advocacies, Rodriguez re ported giving more than P180,000 in solicitations covering medical, housing, burial assistance, competi tion, and event sponsor ships. He also gave books authored by him to different barangays in the city.

As a lawyer and former law dean, he has also ex tended his support to the 123 law students by distrib uting a total of P369,000 cash assistance to 2022 bar takers from Liceo de Cagayan University and Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan.

Rodriguez is currently on his fifth term as rep resentative of Cagayan de Oro 2nd District, after serving in the 14th (20072010), 15th (2010-2013), 16th (2013-2016), and as a deputy speaker in the 18th Congress (2019-2022).

CDO’s Coby Rolida makes PH Team to Nomura Cup

By TITO MIKE

CAGAYAN de Oro City’s Jacob “Coby” Rolida has made it as one of the three members to the Philippine Team to the Nomura Cup which will be hosted by the country at the Manila South woods Golf and Country Club in Carmona, Cavite on November 14 to 18.

Kristoffer Arevalo emerged as the top quali fier in the five-day Nomura Cup qualifying tournament, with Elee Bisera and Rolida earning the other slots in the qualifier staged by the National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP).

Despite a triple bogeydouble bogey on the 10th and 11th holes, Arevalo still managed a final round one-under 71-his fourth sub-par score in the five day tournament, for the runaway win by six strokes and 356 aggregate.

Arevalo saw action as

the captain of the national team to the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam earlier this year. He is a member of the three-peat and four-peat PAL Interclub champion teams of South woods, where he played alongside now PGA Tour star Tom Kim, and Japan Tour rookie standout Yuto Katsuragawa.

Bisera and Rolida both finished with even-par 72s on closing last-hole birdies to finish 362 and 365, to finish second and third, respectively, and suit up for the national team for the first time.

Rolida had a good show ing, seizing the lead after the second round with birdies on three of his last four holes to salvage an even-par 72, to cap a roller-coaster trip that saw him squander an early eagle on the fourth hole, and struggle with a three over card after the

Beginnings

Coby became enamored with golf when his family was still residing in Manolo

Fortich, Bukidnon, where he finished his grade school at the Del Monte School and trained at the famed Del Monte Golf Course and Country Club.

“He started playing golf at the age of 4 and he trained in Del Monte Golf Course in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon as a junior golfer,” his mom Yvonne recalls. “But when we transferred to Cagayan de Oro for his High School in 2013, he started his train ing in Pueblo de Oro golf course which is home course up to now.”

Coby is a member of the Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club of Cagayan de Oro based at the world class Robert Trent Jones III designed course in Uptown, Cagayan de Oro where he trains whenever he’s in town.

“Congratulations to Coby Rolida for making it to the Philippine Team for the Nomura Cup!” said Engr. Chrysler B. Acebu, Pueblo de Oro Golf & Country Club President. “He makes us proud to have produced a world-class golfer!”

When Coby transferred to Ateneo de Manila Uni versity for his senior high

school, he joined the Ateneo Golf Varsity which opened up opportunities for him to compete in international junior tournaments like the Boys 15-18 category as part of the Philippine Contingent to the 2019 IMG Junior World Golf Championship in San Diego, California in July 2019; the Asia Grand Final of the 13th Faldo Series held at the Laguna Lang Co Golf Course in Da Nang, Vietnam in March 2019 which brought together over 90 of Asia’s leading young golfers, plus win ners from the 2018 Europe Grand Final for a total of

108 individual entries; and the recent Singapore Open. Now 21, Coby is the cur rent captain of the Ateneo Golf Team.

“Most of his childhood was spent on the golf course,” his mom added. “He just loves playing golf so much that I think that made him so determined in practicing and joining tournaments. He is also a very positive person when it comes to golf. If ever he has a bad score on this hole, he would always think there are still a lot of holes left for him to recover.”

The Nomura Cup, also known as the Asia-Pacific Amateur Golf Team Cham pionship, is a biennial ama teur team golf champion ship for men organized by the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation.
