By Johaira N Didato

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA)-- The Bangsamoro Darul Ifta is set to hold its crescent moon sighting activity in strategic points in Mindanao on April 20 to determine the end of Ramadan.

According to Abdulrauf Guialani, the sighting will be held in Parang and Datu Odin Sinsuat towns in Maguindanao; PC Hill and Timako Hills in Cotabato City; Iligan Bay area in Iligan City; Sunkist Seaside Pahut in Bongao, TawiTawi; Jolo port in Sulu; and Isabela in Basilan.

Buildia completes structural works of TH Mall Puerto

By MARK FRANCISCO

THE construction of TH Mall Puerto in eastern Cagayan de Oro City entered a significant new phase Tuesday with the topping off ceremony, signaling the completion of its structural works.

Buildia is the main contractor of TH Mall Puerto construction headed by president Caraig and project manager Manuel Bugayong with F Baron Construction & Supply and First Pilipinas Power & Automation as its main suppliers.

The project, the first mall-type venture of local retail pioneer TH Cagayan, is also undertaken with the following auxiliary suppliers: principal designer and architect Ernel Bustamante, structural designer Engr. Alex Thomas III, FPPA,

Meredith ElectromechTech for the waste water treatment plant, Glazinum Glass Corporation for the glass works, LYL Dev’t. Corp. for the ready mix, Terms Concrete and Materials Testing Inc. for the soil testing/boring and MegaKonstruk Dev’t. Corp. for the piling.

In his speech, TH Cagayan president Jerry Yu said the pandemic was a blessing in disguise for the company as they could focus more on the project while the whole city was in quarantine in the early days of Covid-19. The company finally acquired the lot in barangay Puerto in Cagayan de Oro

City adjacent to Gaisano Puerto in 2017 after three long years of negotiation from the previous owner.

Things stalled until finally, construction kicked off in April 2022.

The topping off ceremony Tuesday also marked the company’s 300,000 man hours with zero accident,

considered an enormous feat under the labor standards in the country. A man-hour is the amount of work performed by the average worker in one hour.

In construction parlance, the number of man-hours is computed vis-à-vis the number of workers in a shift for the entire duration of

the construction phase.

Caraig and Yu praised the management team and the workers alike (who were all present during the topoff ceremony) for achieving the zero accident status for the past 11 months.

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) considers zero accident in the workplace as a form of social accountability.

With this development, construction of TH Mall Puerto is expected to be finished this October. After the topping off ceremony, more auxiliary works such as utilities are now underway followed by both exterior and interior finishings.

TH Mall Puerto is a four-level structure with a department store, a rentable space and a basement parking for customers and workers alike. It will form part of TH Cagayan, a local pioneer in lower priced goods.

PH Air Force joins gas-oil platform takedown exercises in Palawan

By Filane Mikee Cervantes

MANILA – One of the Philippine Air Force’s Bell 412 combat utility helicopters served as aerial platform for the troops participating in the gas-oil platform takedown (GOPLAT) exercises off Matinloc in El Nido, Palawan.

PAF spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo said the exercise’s objective was to develop mutual defense capability and strengthen the country’s maritime security.

The helicopter was from the 205th Tactical Helicopter Wing and deployed to help in executing the socalled fast rope insertion and extraction system (FRIES) last April 16.

“FRIES” is a specialized mechanical system that enables rapid tactical insertion and extraction of personnel in areas where helicopter landings are not permissible.

“The demonstration involved the protection of a retired Matinloc platform, which served as a stand-in for the Malampaya platform. The Bell 412 helicopter facilitated the vertical insertion of the elite assault troops from the Naval Special Operations Unit (NAVSOU) through ‘FRIES’,” she added.

Participants in the GOPLAT exercises also include the Philippine Navy and witnessed by US military counterparts as observers. (PNA)

Albay steps up E-CLIP case management for former rebels

By Connie Calipay

LEGAZPI CITY – The provincial government of Albay, through the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO), has started to enhance its guidelines for managing former rebels (FRs) through the conduct of its first provincial Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) orientation training on case management.

In an interview on Monday, PSWDO officer in charge Maria Vivien Andes Cea said that after the training, they expect the concerned offices to be able to better address the identified gaps, especially in implementing the program including the handling and monitoring of the returnees.

“Pagdating sa monitoring (When it comes to monitoring), we need the help of the different social welfare officers of the 15 towns and three cities in Albay where those FRs reside. With the training, it will be easier to see and monitor the services they need and what we can give, what improvements they want and we need to really know the actual situation of the FRs,” Cea said.

In a separate interview, Lorena Barliso Quising, Albay provincial information officer, said the two-day training activity will help

We Filipinos are freedomloving people as history tells us how the Filipinos resisted against the subjugation of Filipinos by colonizers which were done then through injustices and corruption. Having been liberated from foreign colonial rule and from any form of subjugation, the Filipinos are living in continuance with their cultural heritage of loving and caring as exemplified by their ancestors whose life exemplified loving and caring for one another. They were tilling their land then in the spirit of sharing and service to one another, even showcasing oneness with one another and with nature, even developing the 8th wonder of the world, the Rice Terraces.

ROLANDO SUDARIA production

Such spirit of service thru love and care is being exemplified by nurses working in New York, for example, as narrated by my son Kim, the Chief of a hospital, whose nurses are all Filipinos. He was telling me how amazing the Filipino nurses in serving and caring for their patients as caring for the sick is not only done through medicine but through loving care.

pregnant with celestial fire; Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway’d, Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre.” Indeed, the number one asset in the universe is not wealth, fame or power. The most important asset/capital is the human being and the development of the human potentials is of utmost importance. The poet, Thomas Gray, in writing the poem in a country churchyard (cemetery), has underscored this truism that when a dead person is laid to rest, had the heart felt that “celestial fire” of love? Had he developed kingly qualities that could have served a community? Had he used his creativity to influence/entertain like a light illuminating darkness? Our firm salute to Ms. Salon for the development of the human potentials of her trainees on caregiving to improve the quality of life of the people.

What is even more amazing is that Bright Horizons Caregiving has created linkages with the following institutions:

But I was more amazed in recently meeting no less than the founder/CEO of the Bright Horizons Caregiver Training Hub and Technical School, Inc. Ms Gregoria C. Salon, RN who is a registered Midwife and a registered Nurse/ NC2 Caregiving. She could have worked in a well-known hospital in New York with astonishing salary but she declined. She told me that as King Solomon had pronounced in Ecclesiastes, “wealth, fame, power are just all meaningless, utterly meaningless.” What is important is what have you done during your lifetime in serving the least of your brethren as reinforced by the biblical line, :”What would profit a man if he gains the whole world but suffers the loss of his soul.”

Well, such is indeed very amazing in a world that has been buried in so much materialism and consumerism, where there is so much veneration to the profit-motive that has already captured the mindset of all governments, all institutions, all universities and even of religious group. Here is an amazing person whose purpose in life is “to capacitate the Filipinos, to encourage personal growth, to develop competence, motivate confidence, increase job satisfaction and reduce stress in building dreams into reality.”

As envisioned by the founder of the caregiving herself, “I believe that perpetuating the cycle of aspiration, trust and empathy, our value will lead to meeting the needs of the people regardless of their educational qualification. Importantly, they showed respect and believed that positive attitudes led to their desire to improve living quality.” Indeed, Ms. Salon is correct in underscoring the importance of developing one’s potentials. This is clearly stated in a poem of Thomas Gray entitled, “An Elegy Written in a County Churchyard.”

The poem’s 12th stanza says: “Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid, Some heart once

Tacloban-Palo Diversion Road gets P400-M initial funding

By Sarwell Meniano

TACLOBAN CITY - The national government has set aside at least PHP400 million to start the Tacloban-Palo Diversion Road designed to solve traffic jams and flooding near the boundary of this city and the nearby town.

Department of Public Works and Highways Eastern Visayas regional director Edgar Tabacon said Monday the allotment this year will finance the road construction and drainage project within a 345-meter section in three sites in Campetic and Pawing villages in Palo town and San Jose district here.

The entire 3.22-kilometer road stretch needs PHP3.5 billion, which is higher than

the PHP2.7 billion originally proposed fund because of needed realignments.

Tabacon told the Philippine News Agency that the agency is optimistic the project will be completed within five years.

Under its revised plan, the DPWH intends to build the four-lane road that will start from San Jose-Candahug Road in this city to Maharlika Highway in Campetic village in Palo, traversing the Pawing village.

The road is designed to not only decongest traffic along the Maharlika Highway but will also lessen flooding in the area.

“The flood control and drainage system will be on the center of the road to

ensure that there will be no encroachment and clogging of waterways,” Tabacon said.

Bigger drainage will mitigate flooding in the village of Candahug, Pawing, and Campetic in Palo town; and Caibaan, San Jose, Marasbaras, Manlurip, as well as V&G Subdivision and Imelda Village here.

These areas normally turn into swamps during rainy and typhoon seasons and would take weeks for floodwaters to subside.

The Tacloban-Palo Diversion Road which will also have bike lanes, sidewalks, service roads, solar streetlights, and road safety device components, is expected to convert the idle, flood-prone lands into prime commercial areas. (PNA)

Negros’ most wanted NPA rebel nabbed in Canlaon City

By Mary Judaline Partlow

DUMAGUETE CITY –

Military and police operatives arrested on Saturday morning a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines - New People’s

Army (CPP-NPA) tagged by the Philippine National Police as the most wanted NPA rebel in Negros. A media release from the Philippine Army’s 62nd Infantry Battalion (62IB) identified the suspect as

49-year-old Jerry Montefalcon (alias Ka Bulhot), married, and a member of the NPA’s Central Negros 1.

He was arrested by 62IB troops and Canlaon City police in Sitio Anatuling, Barangay Budlasan, Canlaon City under a search warrant.

Montefalcon is the subject of several warrants issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 64 in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental for murder and illegal possession of firearms, ammunition, and explosives, among others. No bail was recommended.

He was also involved in various harassments and liquidations of CAFGU Active Auxiliary and civilians

in Moises Padilla and La Castellana, both in Negros Occidental, and Guihulngan City and Canlaon City in Negros Oriental.

Lt. Col. William Pesase, 62IB commanding officer, told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) that the arrest of Montefalcon indicates the battalion’s relentless efforts to “hunt down the remaining NPA members who have killed innocent and unarmed civilians in central Negros.”

“We are reiterating our call for them to surrender now and live a normal life again with their families. Otherwise, they will either die in an encounter or languish in jail for the crimes they have committed,” Pesase said in an interview. (PNA)

Ayala chairman rallies with global CEOs, faith leaders in advancing inclusive economy

MANILA -- Ayala Corporation

Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala joins other business and faith leaders from across the globe in rallying for a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable economy.

Zobel, who joined the Council for Inclusive Capitalism in 2021, is currently a member of the council’s steering committee. The first in-person convening of its steering committee was hosted last month at Lambeth Palace Library in London by the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury.

“Capitalism has brought the world huge wealth and innovation – much of it, I would say, to the glory of God. But that is not enough if all God’s creatures are not flourishing. I am looking forward to addressing how capitalism can be more inclusive and can lead to mutual and beneficial outcomes,” Welby said.

In an interview on the sidelines of the meeting, Zobel emphasized that profit and purpose can merge in an inclusive

The Council for Inclusive Capitalism was founded with the belief that businesses have a responsibility and the ingenuity to create stronger, fairer, and more dynamic economies and societies.

Mindanao's 'most wanted NPA leader' booked in Davao

By Che Palicte

DAVAO CITY – Mindanao's most wanted New People’s Army (NPA) leader who abandoned his comrades in Davao de Oro province was presented to the media here Monday following his arrest in Malaysia earlier this month.

NPA rebel Eric Jun Casilao, the secretary of the Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC) and Central Committee member of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), was apprehended at the Jeti Point International Clearance Gate in Langkawi, Malaysia, on April 1.

Authorities said Casilao was boarding a ferry bound for Koh Lipe, Thailand, when arrested.

In a press briefing at the Davao City Police Office (DCPO), Michael John Mangahis, officer-in-charge of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Davao Region (CIDG-11), said Casilao was deported from Malaysia and arrived in the city around 2 p.m. on Monday.

“We are currently processing him. We conducted a medical check-up to make sure that he is in good condition,” he said of Casilao, who carries a PHP5.4 million bounty on his head.

Mangahis attributed Casilao's arrest to the col -

laboration of various government security agencies of the two countries.

“With the good collaboration of our government agencies, we were able to track him down,” Mangahis said.

Impact of Digital Games on Student’s Performance

By: KENT LEVI A. BONIFACIO IT Faculty, College of Information Sciences and Computing Central Mindanao University

HOW much time kids spend staring at digital screens is not a new concern. But with more and more school work being done online, worries about the impact on student well-being are rising.

Average screen use for kids ages eight to 18 rose sharply by 17 percent from 2019 to 2021.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children ages two to five spend no more than an hour a day looking at any sort of digital screen. The impact that the increased screen time will likely have on K-12 students’ development and social skills is yet to be seen. And educators have to weight the potential ben-

efits of expanded use of digital devices against the potentially negative effects of increased screen time.

Teachers say they see the effects of heightened digital exposure in the classroom. A majority of educators said students’ learning challenges rose along with their increased screen time and that student behavior worsened with more screen time.

Because students are spending more time online, they’re also coming into contact with more misinformation and advertising which have been supercharged by big data and algorithms. In turn, there’s a growing push to teach media literacy skills in schools to help students navigate these challenges.

YOU must encourage open communication and free thinking with your students to make them feel important. Be enthusiastic. Praise your students often. Recognize them for their contributions. If your classroom is a friendly place where students feel heard and respected them, they will be more eager to learn.

One of the most difficult aspects of becoming a teacher is learning how to motivate your students. It is also one of the most important. Students who are not motivated will not learn effectively. They won’t retain information, they won’t participate and some of them may even become

disruptive. A studentmay be unmotivated for a variety of reasons. They may feel that they have no interest in the subject, find the teacher’s methods unengaging or be distracted by external forces. It may even come to light that a student who appeared unmotivated actually has difficulty learning and is in need of special attention.

While motivating students can be a difficult task, the rewards are more than worth it. Motivated students are more excited to learn and participate. Simply put: teaching a class full of motivated students is enjoyable for teachers and students alike.

A study researched the effect of Covid-19 on Internet gaming disorder among students.

The advent of low cost rapid Internet access technologies coupled with that of sophisticated smartphones had led to the rise of Internet gaming disorder over the last couple of decades.

This could potentially have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. With the onset of Covid-19, much of routine living activities including socialization, education and shopping shifted to the online space.

Entertainment, which was already copiously provided that point in the form of movies, videos and online games, became the refuge for millions of people indisposed

Internet games or online games are video games that require to be played partly or completely through a computer network. It is showing exponential growth with almost three billion gamers having been reported the world over. Much of this growth occurred during Covid-19.

Scientists say that moderate use of Internet games can be fun and reduce stress, improving the ability to learn by sharpening cognitive skills. In excess though, gaming may ruin the musculoskeletal balance, cause depression and poor sleep habits.

Contributing factors to the consistent high satisfaction rating of the community on police community engagement in PNP Region 10

Contributing factors to the consistent high satisfaction rating of the community on police community engagement in PNP Region 10

On May 23, 2022, the Philippine National Police (PNP) Region X and the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to formalize the university's role as the PNP's third-party surveyor for gauging public perception of public safety and security. The survey's findings will be applied to enhance regional efforts at public safety and crime prevention. The MOA was signed between the two parties under the direction of Police Brigadier General Benjamin C. Acorda, Jr., PNP X Regional Director, and Dr. Ambrosio B. Cultura II, President of the USTP System. A number of important USTP and PNP Region X representatives also took part in the agreement's signing.

Since then, there have been a total of four regionwide surveys conducted, involving more than 6,000 participants from the different provinces and cities of Region 10. From the results of the surveys, the community engagement of the PNP in Northern Mindanao consistently obtained a high satisfaction rating from the community, particularly in terms of trust, respect, and safety and security. These can be attributed to several factors, and the first that can be mentioned here is community-oriented policing. The PNP in Northern Mindanao has adopted a community-oriented policing (COP) approach that

focuses on building strong relationships between the police and the community.

COP is a proactive policing philosophy that emphasizes the importance of problemsolving, partnerships, and community empowerment.

The PNP's COP approach has helped to build trust and respect between the police and the community, as well as foster a sense of ownership and responsibility among community members.

Relative to this, on September 26, 2023, the Revitalized PNP Kasimbayanan Program was launched at Camp 1Lt Vicente G. Alagar, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City. It is a community-oriented policing strategy implemented by the PNP to enhance its delivery of services and

build stronger partnerships with communities in the Philippines. This program aims to strengthen the relationship between the police and the public by promoting transparency, accountability, and mutual trust.

Second is the collaborative partnerships. The PNP in Northern Mindanao has also established collaborative partnerships with various stakeholders, including local government units, non-governmental organizations, and other community groups. These partnerships have helped to facilitate communication and coordination between the police and the community, and have enabled the PNP to better understand and respond to the needs and concerns of the com -

munity.

Third is the improved training and professionalism: The PNP in Northern Mindanao has made significant efforts to improve the training and professionalism of its officers. This includes providing regular training and development programs for its officers, as well as implementing stricter recruitment and promotion processes. The improved training and professionalism of the PNP officers have helped to enhance the quality of service they provide to the community, which in turn has contributed to the community's high satisfaction rating.

Fourth is the effective crime prevention strategies: The PNP in Northern Mindanao has implemented

effective crime prevention strategies, such as community-based programs, intelligence-led policing, and the use of technology. These strategies have helped to reduce crime and improve safety and security in the community, which has contributed to the high satisfaction rating of the community.

Fifth is the community engagement programs: The PNP in Northern Mindanao has also implemented various community engagement programs, such as barangay (village) outreach programs, youth development programs, and community-based rehabilitation programs for drug surrenderers. These programs have helped to build stronger relationships between the police and

the community, and have enabled the PNP to better understand and respond to the needs of the community.

In summary, the consistent high satisfaction rating of the community on police community engagement in the Philippine National Police in Northern Mindanao over the years can be attributed to the PNP's adoption of a communityoriented policing approach, collaborative partnerships, improved training and professionalism of its officers, effective crime prevention strategies, and community engagement programs. These efforts have helped to build trust and respect between the police and the community, and have contributed to the community's sense of safety and security.

He has existing warrants of arrest for murder, kidnapping and serious illegal detention, and attempted murder charges.

Selfish leader

Arian Jane Ramos, the former secretary of Guerilla Front 55, said all the while they thought that Casilao had not fled and was just hiding in other regional committees within the country.

“As an NPA cadre, leaving one's NPA unit goes against the CPP's doctrine. How much more leaving the country?" she said.

Ramos, who surrendered years ago to reject the communist rebellion, described Casilao

advocacy among small businesses to utilize bank loans and loan literacy.

Raymundo Talimio, Jr., Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce President, underscored the importance of capacitating business owners to adhere to national and international regulations in order to have access to a broader market.

Talimio urged the Local Government Unit of Cagayan de Oro City and the Provincial Government of Misamis Oriental (PGMO) to create a shared service laboratory for MSMEs to accelerate FDA accreditation and make product laboratory testing more accessible in the province.

as selfish.

In a public post, Joy James Saguino, the former deputy secretary of Sub-Regional Committee 1 of the NPA, said Casilao's act of fleeing the country showed the "treacherous behavior of the NPA's top leaders."

"While the organization continues to wage its decades-long insurgency in the Philippines, it is clear that most of its leaders are more concerned with their gain than with the welfare of their followers," Saguino said.

In a statement, Maj. Gen. Jose Eriel Niembra, the Army’s 10th Infantry Division commander, warned that NPA leaders have no safe place to stay and hide, even outside the country.

“The government is determined to capture NPA leaders and terrorists wherever they are,” he said. (PNA)
