Year on year, the average price rose 10.1%, with all regions reporting price increases, according to the PSA.
“All regions recorded positive year-on-year growth rates in October 2022. Davao region registered the highest annual increase of 18.1% in October 2022,” the PSA said.
TWENTY-six farmers from South Cotabato are expected to become agricultural entrepreneurs as they graduated from the Department of Agrarian Reform’s (DAR) Farm Business School (FBS).
The FBS program, a handson educational system to help farmers learn and improve their knowledge and skills on entrepreneurship and farm business management, is in line with the stand of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and DAR Secretary Conrado Estrella III to improve the livelihood of the farmers.
FBS graduate Lenny Belle Gumboc, in her salutatory speech, said the FBS changed her perspective in farming, as she committed to apply all her learnings from schooling.
BUTUAN City – Fifty employees of a mining firm in Dinagat Islands province are now benefiting from a fish farming project provided through a partnership with a nickel mining company and two government agencies. Lorenzo Cuares Jr., chairperson of the Valencia Regular-Seasonal Workers Association (VARSWA), said they collaborated with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in 2021 to start a fish farming project to cope with the effects of the pandemic. “We were able to access farm inputs from the DOLE while the BFAR provided us with the necessary training to improve our fish farm and make it productive,” Cuares said in an interview Tuesday.
MINDANAO is expected to sustain a sufficient supply of electricity in 2023, an official of the Department of Energy (DOE)-Mindanao said.
Engr. Erick George D. Uy, science
specialist II of the Department of Energy (DOE)-Mindanao, said the whole island still enjoys an average actual reserve of 842 megawatts from January to December 15.
He told Kapihan sa Philippine information

COTABATO City — Business leaders in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) on Saturday welcomed the announcement of Chinese Consul General Li Lin “that hundreds of Chinese businessmen are eyeing the region as an investment destination.”
“This is a very welcome development,” Atty. Ronald Torres Dimacisil, president of Bangsamoro Business
Chamber (BBC),” said.
At the turnover of a stateof-the-art fire truck to the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG) last Wednesday, the Consul General told BARMM officials of the traders’ intention of bringing in capital to help develop the region’s economy.
With Lin were businessmen from China and Chinese traders doing business in Davao City, where the Chinese Consulate General is based.

COTABATO City – Kaltimex Rural Energy Corp. (KREC), a subsidiary of Indonesian PT. Kaltimex Energy, has started its 4-megawatt (MW) power project expansion in Bongao, the capital of Tawi-Tawi, keeping in step with the growth of the locality, an official said Friday.
Mohamad Omar Pasigan,
newly-appointed chair of the Bangsamoro Board of Investments (BBOI) in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), said the P76 million expansion will increase the capacity of KREC to supply 12 MW of electricity to Bongao.
In 2016, KREC constructed an 8-MW off-grid diesel-fired power plant in Barangay Pahut,
Bongao, with an investment worth P831 million, after it was registered by the Regional Board of Investments in the defunct Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
Since then, the power supply in Bongao has become stable.
“The power supply situation in Bongao is one of the best in the Bangsamoro region. Since

DAVAO City — Former Sarangani Governor Miguel Rene Alcantara Dominguez has joined the 60-year-old Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) as its new director who will oversee the business strategy and operations of the premier property developer and real estate pioneer in Davao City.
THE Cagayan de Oro city government's Local School Board (LSB) has approved the P350 million worth of Special Education Fund (SEF) for 2023. In a statement Monday, Mayor Rolando Uy said aside from funding additional scholarships, the SEF will also be used for the improvement and construction of school buildings in different barangays. Uy urged the LSB to work together, especially in helping the youth whose families are still living in poverty. The SEF is sourced from the real property taxes collected by the city government. Uy's move to renovate and build
more school buildings and facilities is a continuation of the project of his predecessor, former Mayor Oscar Moreno. "Since 2013, (former) Mayor Moreno and I (when I was serving as representatives) in Congress then, have partnered in building infrastructures that supported education programs of the city," Uy said. The latest project approved by LSB this year was the construction of a fourstory, 12-classroom building at the West City Central School worth P66 million. City college Meanwhile, the city government also plans to include out-of-school youth
to be beneficiaries in the proposed establishment of a city college. Leading the technical working group is Cagayan de Oro Technical Vocational Institute School Vocational Administrator Maria Victoria Trinidad, who said the bulk of the beneficiaries will come from those who are not in school and unemployed. "We will also be having some dialogues with the industries. After all, the products of the city college will be hopefully absorbed by our industries and companies and businesses here in the city," she said. (PNA)
DAVAO City – The city government is urging residents to minimize their wastes, particularly during the Yuletide season. Engr. Lakandiwa Orcullo, acting head of the City Environment and Natural Resources Office-Environmental
Waste Management Division, said they are anticipating volumes of wastes usually during the holiday season. In a radio interview Monday, Orcullo underscored the importance of reducing the volume of garbage that would ultimately end up in the city's
landfill. "Dabawenyos are urged to minimize their waste output by segregating waste to be recycled and reused. Around 700 to 750 tons of garbage are dumped in the city landfill each day. This number will likely rise significantly this holiday season," he said. He noted that the volume of garbage is higher than average in December and January. As of November this year, he said around 20,237 tons of garbage have already dumped in the landfill. Despite efforts to extend the sanitary landfill’s life-span, Orcullo said the facility is still approaching its full capacity, making reduction of waste generated in the city a serious concern. Among the waste reduction measures, Orcullo said, is requiring households to segregate their garbage and dispose only the residual waste while making use of biodegradables and recyclables. Barangay officials, he said, have an important role in reducing waste generation through consistent enforcement of the rules governing the composting and materials recovery. Orcullo also reminded residents on the importance of reducing the chance of solid waste ending up as marine litter, which not only cause harm to the environment but can also worsen the flooding in the city.

Think a minute… All of us at times feel like we will never achieve the full success in our career that we want. But it helps us to know that nearly every successful person had to overcome huge hurdles before they reached his or her goal of success. One of them said: “History has shown that most winners went through heart-breaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won simply because they refused to become discouraged or deterred by their defeats."
John Grisholm is a best-selling author of novels, some of which have been made into Hollywood blockbusters such as The Firm, The Pelican Brief, Runaway Jury, and his first book, A Time to Kill. Yet in the beginning it was rejected by 29 different publishers! When it was finally printed by a small, unknown publisher, it sold only 5,000 copies, compared to all of his books since, each of which has sold in the millions.
Michael Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time, yet in high school he was cut from his team because the coach said Michael was too short to play.
Thomas Edison, the great inventor, has over 1,000 inventions and patents to his name. He failed 2,000 times in trying to invent the incandescent light bulb. When reporters asked him about his 2,000 failures he replied:”I never failed once. Inventing the light bulb just happened to be a 2,000-step process.”

Partisanship in the realm of politics is not uncommon in our country. In fact, it is engaged all year round hence no chance for the wounds it inflicts on society to heal resulting from heated cyclical election seasons.
And without realizing its ill-effects not only on personal relationships but on the life of the larger society itself, political partisanship becomes a boon and a bane to the nation. It hinders development and stagnates national growth.
Expectedly, politicians will forever be partisan in their politics. They can’t be faulted for that since partisan politics is their lifeblood even if it is not always good for the general weal.
But for the majority of the citizenry to engage in havoc-wreaking partisan politics should be shied away from. Engaging in it all year round until the next election season doesn’t promote anything good and desirable. On the contrary, it is very destructive to the life of the nation.
Ideally, partisan politics should only be engaged
during election seasons when voters are presented with choices on whom they will repose their trust and confidence through the ballot. But extending its practice beyond the election season is not normal anymore.
Sadly, that is what is being practiced nowadays not only here in our country but even in highly developed countries such as the United States. Partisanship has become the norm rather than the exception.
Normally, after the election and proclamation of the winning candidates in any election the people, voters and non-voters alike, should stop being partisan to the point of being blinded by it thus appear like dumb and stupid politically.
When the winning candidates assume office, the duty of the citizenry is to be vigilant to prevent the elected officials from become abusive, unjust and corrupt because when they do they become incompetent. It is the duty of every citizen to the country for them to be always engaging in the business of governance
by holding their elective officials accountable at all times.
More often than not, this social responsibility of ensuring good governance in all levels of government is passed on by the people to the mainstream media. They seem to think it is not theirs to perform. And with the influx of social media public accountability had been obscured by troll farms hired by sitting politicians to purposely muddy the situation.
Nowadays, social media trolls have replaced to a certain extent the role mainstream media used to play specifically in bringing to fore abuses, injustices and corruption in government. All they do is obscure through fallacious argumentation the issues that need to be highlighted for the enlightenment of the general populace.
The transformation of the social media into a tool of disinformation, a vehicle in pushing for lies is a great disservice to the country and its people. While everyone is taking social media trolls to task for their atrocities
to good leadership and good governance, many are inclined to take in what they read and see in social media as gospel truth. This is ruining the very moral fabric of Philippine society as the only Christian country in the far East.
Today, we have become just like anyone else. No more distinction can be drawn between us and the others in the region and in the world. And in large measure, this is greatly contributing in pushing partisan politics to a level of implosion if not seriously addressed soon by the people themselves since politicians are not expected to arrest the situation for they are benefitting from it.

It was so amazing that in 2013 thru the initiative of environmental groups, nongovernment organizations and Task Force Macajalar, an environmental movement for peace, justice and sustainability which together formed an environmental coalition called Sulog, “One Sendong is Enough”, the Court of Appeals has issued a Writ of Kalikasan. The Writ which is the third of its kind in the entire country, has ordered ten (10) agencies of the government, namely, the DENR, EMB, MGB, NBI, AFP, PNP, Bureau of Immigration and LGUs of Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Misamis Oriental and to be participated-in by Civil Society through the Sulog Coalition, to carry-out the Writ of Kalikasan.
The Writ of Kalikasan and the Writ of continuing mandamus are contained in the Supreme Court’s en banc resolution which is a remedy available to “natural or juridical person entity authorized by the law, people’s organization, nongovernmental organization, or any public interest group.”
In implementing the Writ, the implementing agencies together with SULOG has joined hands in forming TASK FORCE KINAIYAHAN whose monthly meeting is presided by Sulog Chairman who was then the USEC/Chairman of the Cooperative Development Authority. Some of those meetings saw the attendance of Atty. Ipat Luna who represented then Sec. Gina Lopez and Usec. Halmen Valdez, The Deputy of Sec. Leoncio Evasco, then Malacañang’s Chief of staff. Task Force Kinaiyahan
is the implementing force of the writ and the Court of Appeals ordered the 10 agencies of government with utmost urgency, sincerity and resolve to arrest serious environmental degradation and its concomitant impact upon the livelihood and integrity of the natural ecosystem.
The Writ came about because of the horrible occurrence of Typhoon Sendong which on December 17, 2011 brought havoc to the cities of Cagayan de Oro & Iligan with 3,000 people dead who were living in the vulnerable areas and some 11,000 families rendered homeless. No less than then Cong. Rolando “Klarex” Uy helped in building housing projects to the homeless victims in Mambuaya, Cagayan de Oro in partnership with benevolent cooperatives.
In its 6-year operation from 2013 to 2019, Task Force Kinaiyahan has not only established Check Points but conducted operations to arrest illegal loggers and miners including Chinese whose only basis of entry in the country is a tourist visa. Somehow, the courage, integrity and passionate law enforcement activities of the 10 agencies of government & Sulog has given notice to one and all that when the rule of law prevails, environmental damages of such magnitude as horribly manifested by ecological disasters to prejudice life, health and property of inhabitants can be stopped. In fact, Iponan River which all these years has been described as a “chocolate river” has been
cleared of massive siltation, manifesting the miraculous performance of the Task Force.
While the rule of law has prevailed because of the passionate law enforcement of the mandated 10 agencies of government, what was so painful was the murder of Datu Fausto Orasan known as Datu Sandigan, the Higaonon Tribal Chieftain of Cagayan de Oro, for helping in law enforcement. He was killed sometime in 2014 one Sunday morning while riding in his motorcycle to monitor illegal mining activities. So far, no killer has been arrested. Datu Sandigan was our colleague in Sulog, a civilian volunteer at that! Until now, we cry for justice on the brutal killing of our dear environmental colleague.
The Writ came about because all those years prior to Sendong, massive illegal logging and mining have destroyed the ecosystems, rendering some 200,000 hectares denuded in the uplands of Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Bukidnon. Six logging companies, holders of Timber License Agreements (TLAs), could not moderate their greed as one shipment of logs alone would earn a logger some 360 million pesos which made the loggers so rich, putting shamelessly the truism that “economic power begets not only political power but legal power or judicial power as well.”
Indeed, no such thing as rule of law on logging or mining. Don’t you know that there are laws that prohibit logging in forestal areas located
in an altitude higher than 1,000 meters above sea level or in slopy areas with more than 50% gradient? Well, apparently the dipterocarp forest that they have erased from the face of the earth were in those prohibited zones. In fact, a powerful logging company had established a sawmill in the middle of the forest that no one can enter as the area had been fenced with armed guards.
The Philippines, being a tropical country, was then oozing with the finest of trees in the world which were only found in the Philippines, i.e., red lauan, narra, mahogany, almaciga, etc. and there are laws that prohibit their cutting.
PERO NAUBUS DIN! Indeed, our dipterocarp forests had been plundered, sacrificed to the altar of greed, profit and power in cohort with those task to enforce environmental laws.
As regards mining, while Bohol has “chocolate hills,” Cagayan de Oro has “chocolate river,” the Iponan River which had been carrying thousands, if not millions of tons, of siltation that has
ABOITIZ Power Corp. (AboitizPower) is exploring possible investments in a nuclear energy project, its top official said, adding that the listed company has ongoing talks with foreign entities on the matter.
“We are in a regular discussion with Rolls-

AboitizPower President and Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel V.
Rubio told reporters in a gathering on Dec. 15. He did not give details of the involved companies nor the stage of their discussions.
On its website, RollsRoyce SMR Ltd. said that it had designed a factory-built nuclear power plant that will
offer clean, affordable energy. NuScale Power, LLC describes itself on its website as “the global leader” in small modular reactor technology.
Mr. Rubio said that more than the technology, the permitting process, and the safety policies should also be in place.

Undoubtedly, the leadership role makes a significant difference because it has a big impact on how motivated employees are to find better, more effective ways to deal with new challenges.
A organization’s ability to endure depends on how eagerly its employees are to succeed. But for that to be the case, professionals must have a strong motivation to maintain their efficacy. Above all, each employee holds great value for a company that is purposedriven and committed to improving.
Driving motivation through trust , as a leader, having a positive relationship with employees is not just about yielding the best results for the organization. It has a deep meaning that encourages professionals to go above and beyond to accomplish both individual and collective goals. This deep meaning primarily stems from a strong trust that elevates every member’s confidence
in their capabilities.
Making a lasting impact. "Trust is the glue of life," said influential American author Stephen Covey. It is the most important component of effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships together." Leaders who go above and beyond to build rock-solid trust with their employees have a huge impact on the organization's outcomes.
Leadership that makes a difference. The role of the leader, without a doubt, makes a significant difference because it greatly influences employees' determination to find better and more efficient ways to overcome new challenges. It also enhances the overall effectiveness of a work culture, which is bolstered by employee and leader trust and understanding. Working in an environment that brings out the best in everyone produces results that change the world for the better.

Conflict and negotiation are aspects of running an organization. Organizational leaders face conflict with partners, employees and the general public. Negotiation is often necessary to create an amicable solution for all parties involved in the conflict.
Organizational conflict might arise from different sources. One of these is frustration. One source of frustration is a lack of accountability. If something has gone wrong, and no one is willing to take responsibility for the problem, this lack of accountability can start to permeate throughout the entire company until the issue is resolved. If conflicts are not resolved, the process of attaining good organizational performance may be interrupted. Conflict also occurs when there is incompatibility of goals and differences over
interpretations of different matters affecting the daily activities in the organization. People may tend to argue when they are in disagreement to goals and others might be involved in conflict because of interpersonal reasons. When people in the organization are in conflict, their performance would be greatly affected. This conflict may sometimes result to organizational chaos.
Leaders should have the skills in diagnosing the real problems among his people in order to provide effective measures to solve the problem.
Leaders should know how to either arbitrate or mediate to pacify conflicting parties. They can be either soft or hard negotiator depending on the situation. The best way to solve the conflicts among people is to apply the win-win approach where two conflicting parties feel fairness and justice along the process of negotiation.

Reading has many additional significant advantages outside just being a useful skill for knowledge acquisition. Young and elderly readers who are actively reading are frequently conscious of the knowledge they pick up from a text, but they might not be aware of all the other important abilities they are developing at the same time. Reading has many advantages, one of which is improving one's linguistic abilities, particularly if the reading content combines simple and complex ideas. Reading improves one's capacity to talk and write through advancing one's vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.
In choral reading, the teacher reads aloud as the class imitates him or her, giving the students the benefit of a model as they practice reading aloud. The instructor may pause at any point to answer queries, offer commentary on the text, go over a word in the vocabulary, or remind the class that she wants them to be reading.
If choral reading is employed with kids who are heterogeneously organized, it's likely that the least capable pupils may find it challenging to keep up with even a modest speed. But they can still listen to the text being read precisely, with appropriate tempo, and while engaging when they can. Similar to choral reading, cloze reading involves the teacher reading
aloud most of the passages while the pupils follow along in silence. The students' task is to read it aloud as a class when the teacher leaves out an essential vocabulary or topic word, not a basic sight word, once or twice every few phrases.
Students practice oral reading less with cloze reading than they do with choral reading, as you may have seen. Cloze reading is therefore best viewed as a substitute for round robin reading. Cloze reading helps teachers cover text and keep students interested without running the risk of embarrassing struggling readers in front of the class. Similar to choral reading, it is possible that the weaker readers won't be able to keep up or read every word that is left out correctly, but they won't be singled out and will be given examples of effective reading.
Reading aloud to a partner is another strategy for enhancing fluency. This process functions best when the teacher has chosen the partners and the students have been taught some time management and feedback-giving skills.
On the other hand, one method for pairing up students is for teachers to first rank the students in the class according to their reading proficiency (either subjectively or based on test results), and then they can decide if there are any pupils whose reading level is too low for partner reading. While the
other students read aloud in pairs independently, these students could meet with the teacher for more detailed instruction or closely supervised partner reading. The teacher divides the remaining students in half, creating pairs where the strongest reader is paired with a mid-level reader, and so on. The teacher makes sure that each pair has a slightly stronger reader, but that the gap in the students' abilities is not too great as to cause confusion or embarrassment.
Furthermore, Readers' Theater and poetry readings-both of which engage students in a reading performance-have become popular over the last few years. Much has been written about Readers' Theater in particular, and about the apparent value of having students participate in dramatic readings (Rasinski, 2006). These kinds of activities provide students with an opportunity to read text that is enjoyable-and provides a clear incentive for students to read, and re-read, their assigned parts or poem.
While these methods are encouraging, teachers shouldn't assume that they can provide all of the kids the same amount of practice as choral or pair reading, much less the amount of instruction and repetition required for struggling readers to improve their fluency.
“red alert” status.
According to DOE, a yellow alert “indicates the thinning of power reserves in the grid” and is raised “when reserves fall below the capacity of the largest generating unit” while rotational brownouts may be experienced when “red alert” is raised.
He said peak demand in the Mindanao grid this year was recorded at 2,167 MW last June 1.
“When it comes to supply, our supply in Mindanao is enough. We expect the same scenario for 2023,” he added.
He said the current power structure of Mindanao is composed of 50.1% coal, 18.1% oil-based, 2.5% geothermal, 25.7% hydro, 1.7% biomass, and 1.9% solar.
He added that the agency recorded 35 projects committed for Mindanao, with a total additional capacity of 859 MW.
He said among the projects that will start commercial operations next year are the 11.04 MW oil-based power plant of Supreme Power Corporation in Mati City and 1 MW hydro power plant in Governor Generoso town, also in Davao Oriental, and 10 MW biomass in Hagonoy, Davao del Sur.

then, brownouts seldom hit the town,” he told MindaNews.
Bongao’s economic potential has been improving. It is now more accessible with increased flights from the mainland Mindanao cities of Zamboanga and Cotabato. For decades, the laidback town managed to maintain its age-old trade ties with neighboring Sabah in Malaysia.
Lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo, BARMM spokesperson, noted that Bongao can play a strategic role in strengthening the investment potentials of the Bangsamoro region within the BIMP-EAGA, or the Brunei Darussalam-IndonesiaMalaysia-Philippines East Asia Growth Area.
“From being known as the backdoor in the southern Philippines, we are positioning Tawi-Tawi, through Bongao, as our front door to BIMP-EAGA,” he told reporters earlier.
The sub-economic grouping covers the entire sultanate of Brunei Darussalam; the provinces of Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku and West Papua in Indonesia; the states of Sabah and Sarawak and the federal territory of Labuan in Malaysia; and, Mindanao and Palawan in the Philippines.
Pasigan said the BBOIBARMM approved recently the registration for expansion of KREC, allowing the firm to enjoy fiscal incentives, including income tax holiday and reduced duties and tariffs for importation of capital equipment.

of Chinese traders to include BARMM in their investment map is timely as the region is hosting the Bangsamoro Business Congress from December 17 to 19 in Cotabato City.
“We welcome new investors as long as all the existing policies and laws will be followed. We are willing to collaborate with them,” Dimacisil said.
Director General Rosslaini Alonto-Sinarimbo of BARMM’s Ministry of Trade, Investment and Tourism (MTIT), said the improving security situation contributed in making the Bangsamoro region as an investment destination.
“We are also working out our sisterhood agreements with Singapore and the big cities of Makati City and Davao,” she said.
She said BARMM has been implementing programs that will increase the business potentials of the region for domestic and international traders.
Dimacisil said BARMM is prioritizing “the improvement of our facilities and equipment by addressing water and electricity issues, peace and order, transportation and connectivity,” all vital in transforming the BARMM into a region on par with other administrative regions in the country in business and economic development.
He announced that Chinese smartphone maker Huawei and an automotive manufacturing company have expressed interest to invest in the Bangsamoro region.
Bai Sandra Siang-Basar, BBC secretary, said the business congress aims to develop partnership between the business sectors, business leaders and technical experts in and outside the region.
He added that investors in the BARMM can enjoy the fiscal perks provided under the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises or CREATE law.
BARMM comprises the provinces of Maguindanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi and the cities of Marawi, Lamitan and Cotabato, and 63 villages from six towns in North Cotabato now grouped as the Special Geographic Area.
Pasigan said KREC’s 4-MW expansion project would generate 48 jobs.
KREC supplies electricity to the Tawi-Tawi Electric Cooperative, Inc., which distributes power supply to business and residential consumers.
Pasigan said KREC’s additional investment brought to P1.3 billion the total approved investments for this year in the Bangsamoro region.
“This is an indication of the improving investment environment in the region. Our economy is humming back to life with industry conditions becoming stable,” he said in an earlier statement.
Pasigan is hoping that with KREC’s expansion, more investors in the energy sector will follow suit in other parts of the region.

No way can the mangroves and coral reefs survive the onslaught of these massive siltation. Why is this so? Hydraulic mining, open-pin mining and mining operations using buck-hoes and heavy equipment were then the order of the day on mining, even perpetuated by Chinese miners who were only holders of tourist visa.
Based on these bitter realities, to bring back the rule of law, we in Task Force Macajalar have stage direct actions through human barricades from 1991 to year 2000. But people power is not just enough. Thus, our lawyers led then by no less Atty. Batin Ravanera Bago who is a known international environmentalist took the cudgel with other lawyers to appeal for the Writ of Kalikasan.
As illegal mining operations are now resurging in Opol and in Iligan City, there is therefore an imperative need with sense of urgency to reactivate Task Force Kinaiyahan as requested by no less than the honorable Mayor of Cagayan de Oro City and the amazing City Environment Officer, Engr. Armen Cuenca. Let notice be served to one and all that in a Republican and Democratic State, no one is above the law; all must bow down to the majesty of the law because we follow the rule of law and not of men!
Things in all walks of life and even things we used to live in and out have speedily changed and if we do not move along with these changes we would be left behind.
As teachers, we truly need to find better ways wherein our school can be always at advantageous position. This means that teachers can consistently provide quality education to our learners despite of the new landscape of education. We see to it that we could deliver efficiently on what are expected from us.
One of the better ways to move forward as fast as the changing educational landscape is to not just innovate but to benchmark with other educational institutions which have cope with the fast changes that
are happening now. These would serve as our models as we keep ourselves abreast with the changes. It is true that no single organization is sole possessor of knowledge in the delivery of learning, in research, in technology and in innovation. Thus, we need to look around and find models from other institutions and utilized or apply them in our school.
As 21st century teachers, we need to be innovative and strategic for our school because there many challenges we need to confront with everyday. With the other teachers and administrators as our partners as well as the other stakeholders, I believe we are able to deliver efficiently the daily teaching and learning activities through collaborative ways.
