Compensation board

MARAWI City – Residents and officials in this city have called anew for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to initiate the appointment of members to the Marawi Compensation Board (MCB). During Monday's annual commemoration of the city's liberation from the 2017 siege, Mayor Majul Gandamra said the President’s appointment of MCB members would help expedite the process of giving cash aid for the internally-displaced persons (IDPs). "I understand our President is a busy person, but we do hope the recovery and rehabilitation is still part of his priorities," he said.

Unifying agenda

SENATE Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III said Tuesday that he will support the majority in pushing for measures or budget will strengthen the country's food production.

The Department of Agriculture (DA), currently headed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, is proposing to spend P163.8 billion next year, which also covers the P30 billion proposal of the National Irrigation Administration.

Pimentel said measures that aim to boost food production need all-out support from legislators.

Gov’t urged to focus on renewable sources

By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV MindaNews

AVAO City — Dependence on coal for energy will not help the country achieve its commitment under the Paris Agreement on climate change to cut greenhouse emissions by 70 percent by 2030, an environmental group said.

Mylai Santos, director of Ecoteneo at the Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU), told MindaNews on Sunday that coal dependence is detrimental to local communities, including Barangay Ned in South Cotabato where “dirty coal is being mined by San Miguel Corporation.”

“Barangay Ned is 41,247 hectares in land area yet it is covered by 36,000 hectares of coal operating contracts covering Bagumbayan as well,” she said.

The Paris Agreement, which entered into force on November 4, 2016, targets to limit “global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5

New criminal code

A LAWMAKER said Tuesday Congress should consider legislating a new Criminal Code of the Philippines to replace the "largely Spanish era" Revised Penal Code.

Bagong Henerasyon party-list Rep. Bernadette Herrera said she is open to filing a bill that would institute a new Criminal Code of the Philippines drafted by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Herrera emphasized the need to modernize and update the country's "antiquated" criminal law to improve the administration of justice.

Chinese workers spotted anew off Samal resorts

DAVAO City – A group of Chinese workers on board two vessels were sighted Sunday afternoon while making another trip off the coast of the resorts owned by the Lucas family, where the landing point of the Samal Island-Davao City (SIDC) Connector in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) will be constructed.

An advisory released by the Sustainable Davao Movement (SDM) on Monday

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. Alsons Dev is the real estate

said the Chinese workers were aboard M/V Rotsky along with tugboat SY 607 and stopped at around 4:30 p.m. at “Point 89 of the bridge marker area.”

SDM said three Chinese men, who were wearing personal protective equipment, resembled some of the individuals who initiated the borehole drilling early this month without permission from the resort owners.

“On board the vessel was a

drilling equipment and many sacks of unknown contents stacked on top of each other,” the advisory said.

It added that the workers dropped “an object in the water, while a rope was extending from the vessel.”

The Rodriguez family opposed the current alignment of the bridge project since it would destroy the Paradise Reef, which plays a crucial role in the marine ecosystem of the Davao Gulf.

Siargao surfers rule 26th int’l tourney

BUTUAN City – Local surfers from Siargao Island emerged victorious in the men’s and women’s qualifying series 1000 of the 26th Siargao International Surfing Competition at the Cloud 9 Surfing Site here on Monday afternoon. The tourney's final round went ahead of schedule on the same day as the quarterfinals and the semifinal rounds were completed earlier due to the good waves and favorable weather conditions. It was a back-to-back championship for John Mark Tokong as he won in the final round of the men’s qualifying series 1000 over Oney Anwar of Indonesia. Tokong won the 25th Siargao International Surfing Competition here in 2019 before the series was stalled for two years due to the pandemic. Another surfer from Siargao, Philmar Alipayo, ranked third, and Robert Magaluna settled in fourth place. Tokong won the USD2,500 cash prize while Anwar bagged the USD1,500 prize for second place. In the women’s qualifier series 1000, Nilbie Blancada,

a Siargao native, grabbed the championship crown with a cash prize of USD2,500. She bested Japanese surfer Anon Matsuoka who secured the second spot with a USD1,500 prize. Blancada was also the champion of the recently-concluded 1st Mayor Sol’s National Surfing Competition on Oct. 2. Two more women surfers from Japan, Nanaho Tzusuki and Sumomo Sato, settled for the third and fourth spots, respectively. Surigao del Norte 1st District Rep. Francisco Jose Matugas II welcomed the result of the tourney. “Congratulations to our very own John Mark ‘Marama’ Tokong. Thank you for making our province and our country proud,” Matugas said in a message. The office of Rep. Matugas is among the partners of the local government of Gen. Luna, the World Surfing League (WSL), and the United Philippines Surfing Association (UPSA) in the staging of the large-scale surfing event. The UPSA also released a statement, recognizing the two winners, as well as the rest of the surfers who

House targets to pass amendments to country’s Bank Secrecy Law by next month

THE BILL seeking to ease the country’s deposit secrecy law to give the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) the power to look into accounts of bank officials and employees for fraud is expected to hurdle the House of Representatives by next month.

“The expected date of passage will be in November. If there are no oppositions, the bill may be approved in the same month,” House Committee on Banks and Financial Intermediaries Chairperson and Manila Rep. Irwin C. Tiengco said.

House Bill 4313 filed by Mr. Tiengco, which proposes amendments to Republic Act No. 1405 or the Bank Secrecy Law, has been pending with the committee since Sept. 6.

It seeks to exempt from the Bank Secrecy Law the BSP’s inquiry or examination of deposits in relation to possible fraud, serious irregularity, or unlawful activity being committed by bank officials.

The amendments will be limited to the BSP’s exercise of supervisory powers over financial

Having Good Relationship with the Students

By: JOCKELYN V. DELA CRUZ Teacher II

Bangcud National High School

Building trusting relationships with pupils is one of the best ways teachers can control a classroom.

Students are considerably more inclined to follow rules and procedures when they feel appreciated and cared for by their teacher. For up to seven hours per day, five days per week, for about nine months, a classroom teacher has the enormous privilege and duty of being in the company of students. During this period, teachers must endeavor to establish excellent teacher-student connections with each student.

When children have positive interactions with their teachers, they develop personally, become more motivated, and succeed academically.

Positive interactions are crucial in a learning environment. A key component of any educational environment is the development of supportive connections. For

the instructors to collaborate effectively and achieve the school's aims and objectives, they must have good relations with one another. Each and every instructor has a responsibility to make sure that the kids learn as much as possible.

In this manner, each instructor would assist the other directly or indirectly in completing the admirable mission of assuring the success of the students. For this to occur, their relationship must be very friendly. Within the educational facility, the student must reside with their family as a unit. Every pupil would act as the other's guardian if this beneficial friendship were to continue. As a result, the classroom would become a calm place where everyone looks out for one another.

It's important to establish a good rapport between the teacher and the students.

institutions.

The results of such inquiry and examination will be used exclusively by the BSP and shall not be made available to any other person or entity, except to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp., Anti-Money

Laundering Council, the Department of Justice, and the courts.

“The exemptions are also recommended to apply to foreign currency deposits in banks operating in the Philippines, including offshore branches of domestic banks,” Mr. Tiengco

Competence, Conscience, Commitment: A Reflection on Crafting a Classroom Management Plan

Jason M. Madronero Secondary School Teacher I Ozamiz City National High School

Competence, conscience, commitment. These three words encapsulate the core of my education as a product of a Jesuit school where I earned my bachelor's degree. These three words also symbolize the very essence of our role as classroom managers.

Being a classroom manager is one of the most critical roles that we teachers play. Effective teaching and learning cannot occur in a poorly managed classroom. Both the teacher and the students suffer when chaos becomes the norm. A well-managed classroom creates an environment in which teaching and learning can thrive. A well-managed classroom, on the other hand, does not appear out of anywhere. It takes a lot of work to create a welcoming classroom environment. We, as teachers, are the most responsible for its creation.

Twenty-first century teachers should value classroom management. Effective classroom management requires a plan that comprises the following: Philosophical Statements, Rules and Procedures, Classroom Arrangement, Behavior Intervention, Class Safety, and Student Celebration.

When creating my classroom management plan, I addressed what would equip my classroom and pupils for 21st-century difficulties and the underlying values.

Competence. We become better

teachers when we think about how to make our classroom an excellent place to learn. As I reviewed my classroom management plan, I realized that all these things I wrote resulted from a few years as a new teacher. I turned it into classroom management tips. I also think good classroom management takes time. Years of struggles and trials produced it.

Conscience. My conscience instructs me to consider my students, past and present when creating my classroom management strategy. As teachers, our conscience reminds us why we should always put the safety and well-being of our students first while creating a realistic teachinglearning environment. We must remember that without students, we are nothing. We prioritize student success in our carefully planned classrooms.

Commitment. Dedicated teachers care. I know that no matter how well I prepare my classroom management, I will occasionally be caught off guard and make hasty decisions. However, as instructors, we must remember that all classroom decisions affect students. When we don't think about our choices, they backfire. Classroom managers should make judgments with care and attention. Good classroom management benefits everyone. It will reflect our teaching.

Even while the subject of joy and education is not new, returning to it in the wake of the pandemic seems more important than ever. As our kids transition back to full-time in-person instruction, we have committed to starting to rethink more equitable learning opportunities for our students. As a reaction to the "interruptions" throughout the preceding year, it is crucial to concentrate on the unfinished teaching and rapid learning. However, happiness cannot be sacrificed in order to deliver difficult, grade-level training. Joy for learning does

not indicate that there will be no difficulty or lack of education. It entails envisioning scenarios that can inspire our pupils to cherish education and learning. These encounters may be instructive, useful, and empowering.

There is always something else teachers could be doing. They spend their days instructing students, creating fresh lesson plans, assessing student learning, tutoring them, supervising extracurricular activities, and evaluating papers. The satisfaction and pride of watching children develop are among the advantages of becoming a teacher.

You have the chance to interact with a variety of pupils every day as a teacher. Even though some of these pupils might make the work the most difficult, they might also make it the most satisfying. You can help children's mental wellbeing in addition to giving them the delight of learning new abilities. One of the benefits of teaching is boosting a student's self-esteem by helping him learn to read or finish a challenging arithmetic problem. A simple grin in the morning or a pat on the back for a job well done can show a student from a low socioeconomic background that someone cares.

How to Crash your Career

Think a minute… It can take years to find the right job and career, but only days to lose it! Here are some negative character traits and attitudes that can crash your career and take away your job security and ability to provide for our family.

The #1 way to ruin your career is to have poor people skills. Most people prefer to work with someone who is lessskilled but kind and enjoyable to work with—rather than be stuck working every day with a highly-skilled “jerk.”

A second way to crash your career is to work only for yourself and your advantage rather than being a team player. Don’t keep trying to outshine your fellow workers, or simply use them to climb higher in your company. Instead, try to help your boss and fellow workers do well also. Remember, this will also build your network of friendships, as well as a happier environment and experience every day.

A third way to ruin your job security and future is not to be reliable and responsible. My friend’s father taught him: “Son, always work hard and do your best so you are worth your wages and your boss does not want to lose you.” Ask yourself: “If I was my boss, should I trust me as a loyal, productive and honest worker?”

A fourth way you can ruin

THINK A MINUTE

opinion

Transformation for People, Planet, Prosperity & Peace

JHAN TIAFAU HURST

your career is to have no goals. You will not have a career to crash if you do not even want to get it off the ground! If you have no purpose or passion for your work, you will have to endure your unhappy career every day of your life.

A fifth and final way to hurt your successful career is if you are afraid of risk or failure.

Remember, “The greatest risk is never taking one.” If you do not believe in yourself, no one else will! Instead of saying, “I’ve never done that,” say, “I can learn how.” Always look for the opportunity to grow and learn from every situation and experience.

You were created to succeed. Won’t you ask your Maker to help you reach your potential by changing your wrong attitudes, habits and character traits?

Contemporaneous spiritual leaders are one in their con tention that it is imperative for humanity to be unfettered from the egoic-mindset to have spiritual enlightenment to ef fect social transformation for people, planet, prosperity and peace which is being advanced by the United Nations in the UN’s issuance of the 17 Sus tainable Development Goals. While the couple’s amazing life of service of Dr. Jesus Guiab and Atty. Remedios Guiab can be likened to a light that has liberated Wao from poverty, gross inequity, social injustice and conflict as the couple has put their lives in the Hands of God, the same can be applied everywhere else as a sort of a wake-up call for humanity that is in deep slumber. Indeed, debunking unbridled material ism and consumerism amidst spiritual denigration and morale collapse can be done by going to the sublime as exemplified by the amazing couple.

The couple’s life of service may just be a “drop in a bucket,” but can provide a glimmer of hope as the homo sapiens, based on the Oxfam Studies, are now undergoing transformation to become Spiritus Luminous (enlightened spirits) or homo pacem (men and women for

peace). It has been said that the most flawed species of all of God’s creation is the homo sapiens. In the 20th century alone, the number of people who died a violent death in the hands of their fellow humans would rise to more than one hundred fifty million. Such happened not only through two world wars but also through exterminations and genocides. The harm being done is not just limited to human beings but to the Mother Earth as well. Billions of life forms be flora or fauna have been sacrificed to the altar of greed and profit. Worse, the collective manifesta tion of insanity is now felt by the earth itself as it is now in the precipice of its 6th extinc tion which is anthropogenic (man-made).

The amazing life of service of the couple has trailblazed the much-awaited transforma tion which is now unfolding world-wide, although very rare, towards humanity’s quantum leap in its evolutionary growth. Such will be the amazing awak ening move to stop humanity’s falling down into the precipice as announced by thousands of concerned scientists and envi ronmentalists worldwide that the “earth is just one minute before midnight.” To have a clear grasp of the importance of the spiritual enlightenment process, let us have some reflections on the current socio-economicpolitical and ecological devel opmental realities.

There is no question on the impressive achievements of humanity as the human mind is highly intelligent but its very intelligence is tainted by madness that has created dysfunctions which are ac celerating and intensifying. As explained by Atty. Marilou

Ravanera Ares in her book, “Our Balancing Acts,” she said, “the global development problems that we are currently facing, and the state of development that we are currently experi encing are seemingly heading towards the opposite direction of development. Development is becoming incoherent, or mysterious even, that while there is advancement in technol ogy, progress in industry and increase in production, that would supposedly set the stage for humanity’s well-being and growth, there is however, the worsening of conditions of the majority of men and societies, and of the environment, and in our planet, it seems that we are advanced materially, we are also becoming extinct gradually. The current global development problems like the unstoppable Covid-19, the increasing natural disasters, unending hunger, and the ever-imminent threat of a nuclear war are leading us to a path heading towards our extinction, planetary destruc tion and annihilation.”

The imperative need of spiritual enlightenment has been categorically explained by Dr. Jesus Guiab in his book, “Lives in the Hands of God” which the amazing couple re lied upon based on the firm belief that surrendering one’s life to God’s will as stated in the prayer, “Thy will be done,” that life enters a transcendental dimension where the Universal Intelligence governs. Then, oneness and interconnectedness of all of God’s creation looms as all lives emanate from one Source. Then, there will be a new earth and a new heaven where people, planet, prosperity and peace will be the order of the times.

Dr. Jesus Guiab and Atty.

Remedios Galutera Guiab, hum ble as you are but your amazing life of service may just be a lit tle candle looming in Wao but when millions if not billions of people on earth will carry the same light of service, darkness will indeed fade away as dark ness cannot defeat the light.

Dr, Guiab writes well. As I have already mentioned he wrote a novel that is full of good lessons entitled, “Lives in the hands of God.” He has written hundreds of short stories about how life should be lived in the hands of God. As underscored by him, “when our time on earth is done, money or material things will not matter but the love, time and kindness that we have given to others will shine and will last forever.”

I remember once seeing in a grocery store a young man pay an old lady’s grocery needs. When the old lady asked, “How much do I owe you?” The young man said, “Pass on the good deed so it will never end.”

We hope that the love, time and kindness the amazing cou ple gave to others and thier caring for Mother Earth will shine and will last forever. As the people whose lives the couple has touched will keep on passing them to others and so on. This way, truly, the LOVE, TIME AND KINDNESS THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN TO OTH ERS WILL SHINE AND WILL LAST FOREVER.

Together with the hundreds of thousands recipients of the amazing couple’s LOVE, TIME AND KINDNESS, I thought of passing their love, time and kindness to others by writing this article. If all of us will extend to others our LOVE, TIME AND KINDNESS, like

Effective evangelization demands all from us

That should be clear to us, considering what Christ told his 72 dis ciples. “The harvest is abundant but the labor ers are few,” he said. “So, ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.” (Lk 10,2-4)

We should not wor ry about the material aspects of our duty to evangelize. While we truly need some material means for evangelization, we know that as long as we do our part also, God will always provide for all our needs, especially in this duty of ours to evangelize.

We need to have trust ing attitude toward God’s powerful providence. “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one

cubit to his stature?” (Mt 6,26)

With these words, Christ clearly tells us to be trusting of God’s ever wise and merci ful Providence. He will provide everything that we need, especially the one that matters most to us. We may experience some privations, some losses, etc., but if we stick with God, we know that everything will always work out for the good. (cfr. Rom 8,28)

We should just focus our attention to this task of evangelization, which is not only a matter of transmitting some doc trine but rather that of transmitting to people the very life and spirit of Christ.

We need to be most aware of our duty to evangelize, to do apos tolate, seeing to it that for it is always nourished, stoked, and fanned to its most intense degree.

Before ascending into heaven, Christ told his apostles: “All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Go, there fore, teach all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit…” (Mt 28,1819)

While addressed di rectly to his apostles, these words are meant for all those who want to follow Christ. To do apostolate is part of a Christian’s duty. It’s part of a Christian’s identity. A Christian is always an apostle. No one is excused from it.

We have to under stand that these parting words of Christ repre sent his culminating and ultimate desire for our redemption. We can say that all he did in his earthly life --his preach ing, doing miracles, his dying-- get somehow summarized in this one great desire of God.

That’s because the divine work of human redemption continues. It cannot stop. This time though, it is done with our cooperation, since if we are incorporated into him through bap tism and in the Spirit, we can’t avoid getting involved in God’s plans

and actions.

The realization of this crucial aspect of our Christian life gives meaning and perspective to our whole life and everything contained in it. It puts our life in the right orbit.

Our life can’t simply be a life in pursuit of personal sanctity with out doing apostolate. These two go together inseparably, mutually affecting each other to put us on the right track in our life.

We should give ev erything to this duty to evangelize, always trusting in God’s provi dence, assuming always a sporting and adventur ous outlook that would greatly facilitate the car rying out of this duty.

The Couple’s Amazing Life of Service is a WAKE-UP CALL

PEZA optimistic to hit 6-7% investment pledges growth

PHILIPPINE Economic Zone

Authority (PEZA) officer-incharge and deputy director general Tereso Panga is optimistic that the investment promotion agency (IPA) will hit its 6 to 7 percent growth in investment approvals this year.

“We remain bullish that we will be able to achieve our 6 to 7 percent investments

target for the year taking into consideration the firm growth forecasts for 2022 of our winner ecozone sectors,” Panga said in a statement.

He cited that the semiconductor and electronics industry is eyeing a 10-percent growth and the information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector

is targeting up to 15 percent growth this year.

These two sectors are among the top investors in the economic zones.

“These bright outlooks are aligned with the calibrated year-end GDP (gross domestic product) growth for the Philippines at 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent, which makes the

The Importance of Local Government Units in Delivering and Raising the Quality of Education

Evangeline D. Gallogo Head Teacher III Ampenican Elem. School

Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian said that Local government units (LGUs) must be given an important role in delivering and raising the quality of education in the country(https:// www.philstar.com/ headlines/2022/10/16/2217004/ gatchalian-lgus-vital-deliveryquality-education).

Gatchalian is supporting for Senate Bill (SB) 155, a proposed measure meant to strengthen the involvement of LGUs in improving the delivery and quality of basic education. “We have done a lot to address issues in the education sector, but we have not yet given our communities the space to fully participate in the education of our youth,”he said. Through this bill, we will be able to give our LGUs an important role in delivering and raising the quality of education to include the formulation of policies focusing on the quality of education.

Gatchalian proposed 21st Century school Boards Act, which seeks to expand the local school board to involve other education stakeholders and relevant actors in the community. The bill is one of

priority measures of the chairman of the Senate committee on basic education for the 19th Congress. This also broadens the utilization of the Special Education Fund (SEF) to support the local school board’s expanded role. SEF is sourced from the additional one percent tax on real property, which is allotted by the Local Government Code (Republic Act No. 7160) to the local school boards for the operation and maintenance of public schools and construction and repair of school buildings, according to Gatchalian.

the success of reforms and programs introduced by the local school board will be measured using indicators such as the participation rate of students, number of dropouts and out-ofschool youth and achievement scores measured by national tests or assessment tools.

Gatchalian mentioned that the LGU could also lead in the establishment of child development centers, providing support for special needs education, the Alternative Learning System (ALS)

and the parent effectiveness service program.

Additional role to be assigned to the local school board include the introduction of timely, organized and localized interventions in the delivery of basic education in times of calamities, disasters and other emergencies that disrupt school activities.

The local school board will also help in the implementation of the ALS program with the Department of Education on the city or municipal level.

It proposes to allow the use of the SEF for salaries of SEFpaid teachers and non-teaching personnel assigned to public elementary and secondary schools, salaries of preschool teachers and capital outlay for pre-schools, operation and maintenance of ALS programs, teachers and nonteaching personnel’s honorarium and allowances for additional services rendered outside of regular school hours. This will help improve our learners’ academic performance by supporting our schools’ Learning Recovery and Continuity Plan.

country among the fastest growing economies in the region,” Panga added.

The PEZA reported that for January to September 2022 period, investment pledges in the IPA reached P39.63 billion from 148 projects.

About 60 percent of the investment commitments from January to September this year came from 20 big-ticket projects worth P24.76 billion, which would add 9,649 jobs and $654.34 million in exports once they are operational.

“These investments will be into manufacturing of various products including SMS/EMS (semiconductor manufacturing services/ electronics manufacturing services), accommodation, real estate activities, office administrative, business support activities among others,” PEZA added.

Some of the big-ticket projects that the IPA approved this year include Cebu Mitsumi, Inc., Robinsons Land Corp., and TDK Philippines Corp.

However, investment pledges in January to September 2022 period declined by 15.2 percent from P46.74 billion worth of investment approvals in the same period in 2021, data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed.

In 2021, PEZA’s investment commitments amounted to P69.3 billion.

This means that for the agency to hit its 6 to 7-percent target this year, it has to register projects amounting to around

P34 billion in the fourth quarter.

The PEZA said it is committed to contribute to the administration’s socioeconomic agenda by “taking advantage of the new and amended laws to boost competitiveness in the market and facilitate the growth of investments in the country”.

“Guided by the new DTI strategic priorities, PEZA is eyeing to attract high-tech industries and emerging technologies in the fields of industrial manufacturing transport, technology media and telecommunications, health and life sciences including mineral processing of green metals,” Panga said.

Meanwhile, PEZA approved 58 projects worth P17.14 billion during the first three months of the Marcos administration.

These investment pledges are expected to boost exports by $877.81 million and will generate 13,904 new jobs.

“Among the approved new and expansion projects, 21 will be for export, 19 for IT, seven for facilities, and three for tourism,” PEZA said.

Eight ecozones were added from July to September this year, four of which are manufacturing ecozones in Cavite, Batangas, Bulacan, and Pampanga; two IT parks in Iloilo and Davao; and two agro-industrial zones in Iloilo.

Meanwhile, export revenues in PEZA zones from January to August 2022 increased by 6 percent to $43.17 billion, while jobs created in economic zones also went up by 6.52 percent to

1,798,152 direct jobs.

“We in PEZA assure the new administration under the President Bongbong Marcos Jr. and guided by the Department of Trade and Industry’s industrialization strategy that we can attract more investments for this last quarter of the year given the positive growth rate forecast of the ecozone semiconductor-electronics and IT sectors, the aggressive investment promotions by the President, and upcoming missions to Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. Now is the best time to invest as incentives had been boosted along with top-level political support to ecozones,” Panga said. (PNA)

TEACHER IN TWENTY FIRST (21ST) CENTURY LEARNING

VANESSA MAE B. MARTINEZ School In-Charge/Teacher III Indahag National High School Division of Cagayan de Oro City

The true meaning of education is not only by possession of diploma and acquisition of knowledge but is a life-long process which refers to our journey or life experiences (for some it is considered as the best teacher) that brings us to the learning process. Our experiences in the real world teach us everything but our education shape us from the basic of our math up to our dogmatic principles, and these serves as our foundation in dealing the system of the society. It may be dynamically complicated because it is a continuous process and considering we are living in

the twenty first (21st) century also termed as digital age, where mankind are seeking for the true meaning of life not knowing that they’re gradually moving away from the laws of nature even from humanity itself in its pursuit of individual excellence. By means of these factors, we should consider the sincere role of educators especially for those who are teaching the children and youth (somehow a crucial stage of development and learning where there is a dramatic change in individual’s social and emotional influences).

In today’s era the focus

of education lies in studentlearning outcomes after it was realized that traditional teaching is no longer effective in uplifting the learner’s capabilities. Consequently, in order to produce a wellcompetent and a personally healthy individuals (a person who has balance of these dimensions: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual) the role of teachers should be in line not only by mastery of the field but also in line with their positive characteristics and attitudes that connects them and their students to the goals of instruction.

The vessels left at around 5 p.m. of the same day, and were found docked at the area fronting Azuela Cove at 9:00 p.m.

“This is the second time since October 4 that the presence of Chinese contractors in the area threatens the safety of the corals and marine life in (the) Davao Gulf. Last October 4, two speedboats and a coastguard vessel (bearing long arms) entered the Costa Marina area unannounced at low tide,” it said.

The incident happened after Davao City First District Councilor Nilo Abellera Jr. questioned the alignment of the SIDC project, or the Davao-Samal bridge, while noting an irreversible impact on coral reefs.

The group said the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) acknowledged the existence of hard and soft corals and seagrasses in the area after conducting a joint dive last October 12.

“All intrusions of over-eager foreign contractors must stop before final decisions have been made by the Filipino people through its government agencies and the Philippine government,” the

member of the Regional Legislative Assembly (RLA-ARMM). Then he served as a Member/Board

group said.

Last October 5, the Rodriguez family said they are filing complaints for trespassing, coercion, and other criminal charges against the resorts’ unwelcomed guests, including officials from the DPWH, who arrived on speedboats and were escorted by “armed men.”

They said the “Chinese contractors” were accompanied by several men who identified themselves as representatives from the DPWH, the Island Garden City of Samal and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office in Panabo City.

“The surprise visitors requested audience with the resort owner and access to the foreshore areas to drill boreholes, claiming they were public properties,” the family’s statement reads.

The landing point of the SIDC project, also known as the Davao CitySamal Bridge, is situated at the coast of Costa Marina Beach Resort, which is adjacent to the Paradise Island Park & Beach Resort in Barangay Caliclic, Babak District, IGACOS.

The Paradise Reef is a 300-meter contiguous reef situated on the coast of the two adjacent resorts, operated by the Rodriguez and Lucas families.

The Rodriguez family questioned the lack of prior consultation, saying

WinS: Strengthened Relationships among Stakeholders

By: Tito P. Yongao

In an age of modernization and technology everyone is linked through networking and communication, thus creating a web that strengthens relationships.

Because of these Cugman Elementary School tapped its stakeholders to take part to do things in fulfilling the Department of Education (DepED) mission and vision in the delivery of the quality of education to Filipino learners. It is better to communicate and get to know the school stakeholders for them to understand the school’s plans and actions to affect its goals.

The opening of classes, creates big challenges to school administrators and staff due to the presence of COVID 19. It was found out in the survey that many of the learners are unvaccinated as shown on the data.

One way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is through Wash-inSchool (WinS) the frequent washing of hands. Because of this, the school planned to construct the said facility

in two separate entrance school gates. Although the school has its Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) it cannot be used because it has its own limitations, it is intended only for the repair of some school facilities since the school has no capital outlay. With the utmost desire and intent to have the said facilities, the school asked for support from the identified stakeholders and partners such as Student Pupil Government (SPG), YES-O, and community business establishments, through writing a letter of sponsorship. Luckily, they responded as part of their social responsibility. They donated in cash and in-kind for purchase of materials including salary of manpower. The two handwashing facilities were successfully constructed and used by the pupils, parents, and anyone entering the school. Indeed, the dream of hand-washing facilities was realized with the love and support of our concerned community partners.

The family added that the Environmental Compliance Certificate for the SIDC project was issued without a prior Protected Area Management Board clearance.

Contrary to DPWH’s claim that the Samal landing site is outside a protected area, the family said the entire Samal Island remains a protected area and was, in fact, established as a Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserve under Proclamation No. 2152, S. 1981, an initial component of the National Integrated Protected Areas System.

“The law requires an act of Congress to de-establish a protected area or modify its boundary. The DPWH has not come forward with any such evidence in so far as Samal Island is concerned,” the family said. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

institutions should activate a Reverse Domain Name System. This would also cut down spam e-mails if BSFIs use reputation-based blacklists and local IP address filtering.

The central bank also advised institutions to allow anti-spam and anti-virus features to detect and block suspicious e-mails with malicious links and attachments.

Institutions are also encouraged to use layered security controls such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.

“(BSFIs should) activate Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Domainbased Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) to prevent sender address spoofing,” the BSP said.

SPF refers to an e-mail authentication protocol used to stop phishing attacks. Likewise, DMARC provides domain-level protection of the e-mail channel.

These authentication protocols detect and prevent e-mail spoofing

The Importance of Education

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

Education is critical and plays a significant role. Education is extremely important in our lives. We must never undervalue the importance of education in our lives, whether formal or informal.

Informal education is provided by parents, friends, and elders, whereas formal education is provided by schools, colleges, and other institutions.

Due to the fact that education is now a necessity everywhere, it has ingrained itself into our lives. It practically exists in our daily lives. For people to be happy and prosper in this world, education is essential. We must first get an education if we want to succeed in this generation.

People will detest you if you lack education since, they believe you are the majority.

Additionally, education is crucial for the economic, social, and communal development of a country or nation.

People who are educated contribute to a country's development. As a result,

education is critical to the development of the country. It is impossible to understand the importance of education unless you study it. Well-educated citizens produce highquality political philosophy. This automatically implies that education, regardless of size, is responsible for a nation's high-quality political philosophy. Nowadays, someone's quality is also measured by their educational credentials, which I believe is appropriate because education is extremely important, and everyone should recognize its importance.

Indeed, education broadens people's understanding of themselves and their surroundings. It improves the quality of their lives and has a wide range of social benefits for both individuals and society.

Education increases people's productivity and creativity while also encouraging entrepreneurship and technological advancement.

techniques used in phishing and other e-mail-based attacks.

Lastly, DKIM allows an organization to transmit a message in a way that mailbox providers can verify. This is to protect employees and customers from targeted cyberattacks.

“To thwart advanced threats and implement a defense-in-depth approach, BSFIs should integrate e-mail security solutions with enterprise fraud management systems, privilege access management, data leak protection, and mobile device management, among others,” the BSP said.

Aside from technical controls, financial institutions should also ensure ample user education and awareness on how to report and handle malicious e-mails.

Baldueza said.

“But now, we are early. We are on our first regular session, and we’re hoping the House of Representatives and the Senate can approve it immediately,” he added.

The BSP has long sought these amendments that have also been recommended by multilateral institutions, noting the Philippines is the only country where the prudential regulator, or the central bank, has no authority to look at bank deposits despite being the regulator of financial institutions.

With most lenders closed by the Monetary Board being due to insider abuse, the exemption will boost the BSP’s supervisory powers over banks.

“This is very low target,” she said “The dominance of non-RE reflects the love of decision-makers for dirty energy for whatever justification or excuse they have. I think this also reflects the fact that the corporate world clouds the capacity of decision makers to make scientifically sound choices,” she said. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

BSFIs should also identify risks of malware infection, inspect e-mail header information, carefully scrutinize the content of the e-mail, and conduct regular phishing simulations or exercises, the BSP said. said.

The bill aims to make the financial system more transparent, he added.

“The country’s Bank Secrecy Law was passed during the 1950s, and needs to be changed as it can be abused,” Richard Leo M. Baldueza, secretary of the House Committee on Banks and Financial Intermediaries, said in an interview.

“If we have tight bank secrecy laws, investors might not invest in the country since they don’t know if their money will be abused,” Mr. Baldueza added. “Once the bill is enacted, it aims to attract more investors.”

A similar bill was taken up in the previous Congress, but it only reached the committee level as it was tacked during the third regular session, Mr.

The central bank has also said the proposed changes will improve the Philippines’ defenses against money laundering, which could help the country exit the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) “gray list” early. The FATF put the Philippines on its gray list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring for “dirty money” risks in June 2021 and officials hope the country can be removed by January 2023.

The dirty money watchdog has said stringent bank secrecy has prevented authorities from implementing antimoney laundering measures.

Importance of face-to-face Classes

By: JANICE B. TULBA Teacher III Tangub City National High School Tangub City Division

The great aim of education is not knowledge, but action- Herbert Spencer

Since it primarily affects a nation's ability to thrive and flourish, the education sector is crucial. To make sure that students obtain the necessary abilities for a variety of occupations, many nations adopt varied teaching strategies. People can now attend their learning sessions online, which has had a significant impact on education. Individuals are required to attend school under the traditional face-to-face education system, which is still in use in many states. Face-to-face instruction is superior to online instruction

because it fosters relationships between students and teachers, motivates them to interact with others and develop social skills, and has fewer interruptions.

Nobody can dispute the significance of education in this day and age. It is a very

vital component of our lives. No matter what, people should never stop learning. It is true that online learning is now frequently provided in educational programs, but technology does not always make it possible for the correct kind or high quality of knowledge to be shared or exchanged. As a result, learning potential may be constrained. The ideal kind of education is face-to-face instruction. In group learning, it is difficult for the pupils to ignore the teacher, and even if they are not paying attention, they can still benefit from what the group is learning. Interaction is the main element that is present in the face to face education and socialism is also increased. While learning in groups students gain the confidence to present their ideas openly at that time. Answers to the questions of the students are also gained at the time of group discussion.

Under this agreement, countries “aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century.”

The Philippines signed the Paris Agreement on April 23, 2016, and it was subsequently ratified by the Senate on March 23, 2017 under the administration of former President Rodrigo R. Duterte.

Engr. Nilo Geroche, director of the Department of Energy-Mindanao Field Office, told “Wednesday’s at Habi at Kape” at the Abreeza Mall, that the non-renewal sources are from coal and oil-based, comprising 51% and 18%, respectively, of the island’s electricity mix.

He said the hydro sources, which previously supplied majority of Mindanao’s power mix, contributed 26%, solar at 2%, geothermal at 2% and biomass at 1%.

Geroche said the supplies of coal and oil in the Philippines are imported. For coal, he said 97% comes from Kalimantan Indonesia.

Dr. Jean Lindo, environmental activist who co-chairs Panalipdan! Mindanao, said the Philippines should double its efforts on developing more renewable energy sources as the adverse impact of climate change is real.

She said other countries “are overtaking their high targets.”

When one gets the information that 69% of our energy comes from fossil fuel and see that other countries are achieving 98% RE (renewable energy), one would get really disappointed,” she said.

She said based on the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Program 2020-2040, the country

MPH now operates a network of 19 hospitals and 22 outpatient care facilities, of which four and ten, respectively, are situated in Mindanao.

These four hospitals include the Davao Doctors Hospital in Davao City, West Metro Medical Center in Zamboanga City, St. Elizabeth Hospital in General Santos City and Manuel J. Santos Hospital in Butuan City.

Celso Bernard G. Lopez, chief executive officer and president of the four hospitals, said he is aiming that Mindanao will soon match the number of hospital network in the National Capital Region, which has currently nine hospitals.

“If I were to be asked, it would really be better to have more MPH hospitals in Mindanao. This island deserves a very good network of hospitals that provide affordable healthcare because when we have a very healthy community, they become a productive community, and ultimately that benefit will redound to the whole of Mindanao,” Lopez said.

He also underscored the benefit of being part of the network, such as the immediate transfer of knowledge, training and facilities across the hospitals, which are pivotal in delivering better quality health care services.

According to an MPH press release, another priority of the company is to bring down the cost of health care in the country so that more Filipinos can afford it.

“As a group of hospitals, we can now be able to get better pricing on supplies, medicines and equipment that will ultimately end up making health care affordable to the communities [that we serve],” he added.

Lopez said that if given the opportunity, they would like to expand to the smaller islands of Mindanao, such as Siargao and Camiguin.

Reopening of Face-to-face Classes

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted classroom instruction in the Philippines, more than 27 million Filipino students now study at home using alternate learning modalities such as modular, online, radio, and television. Due to the fact that many students lack access to online learning or devices with fast internet connections, this configuration did present some difficulties. One of the areas of

My First Experience, as Brigada Coordinator

By Alvin O. Holoyohoy Cagayan de Oro National High School – SHS

I was designated, as Brigada Coordinator of the Cagayan de Oro National High School – Senior High School last July 28, 2022. So reluctant at first to accept the challenge, but at the back of my mind, why should I not try?

Days before the kick-off on August 5, 2022 . . . everyone has been very busy attending online and face-to-face

meetings concerning the event.

Organizing and preparing for my new job was kind of “impossible” to do in a matter of one week. But with a lot of volunteers and stakeholders behind from preparation phase to the opening day . . . everything turned into a great success than I could ever think about.

Thanks to my committees

for the all-out support since day one of the Brigada.

Most of all to the parents, the Philippine National Police, Roads and Traffic Administration, public utility drivers, fraternities, sororities, bank employees and the stakeholders, who opted not to be identified.

Your concerted help has greatly made us accomplish the task off to the opening of school SY 2022-2023.

human life that have been most impacted by the (COVID-19) pandemic is education. Numerous nations have decided to temporarily close schools that serve millions of pupils since the pandemic's emergence and threat. As a result of the pandemic, students—who are largely children—have been experiencing a crisis in their academic performance.

Guidelines for implementing online and modular distance learning delivery of instruction have been developed by the Department of Education. This is done to protect students from contracting the illness. However, preparations have begun for the pilot introduction of limited faceto-face delivery in COVID-19 transmission-low-risk areas. In particular, after physical distance, the reopening of the school for face-to-face encounters needs to be carefully organized to protect the safety of the pupils as well as instructors and school employees in a staged manner. During this pandemic, the planning and implementation of school health policies must be supported by accurate information provided by numerous authorities.

The use of masks in schools; 2) physical separation; 3) environmental cleaning and ventilation; and 4) observing protocols for isolating all people with symptoms. These preventative measures are outlined in World Health Organization standards. The checklist aids in improving compliance and adherence to public health measures during the epidemic by policymakers and school administrators.
