AgSur pays tribute to former Rep. Jun Paredes The man behind the province’s thriving broadcast industry

S

AN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur - He started it all and the thriving broadcast industry in this province would have not reached its prime and maturity nowadays without his great efforts.

About three decades back, residents of Agusan del Sur, still coping from backward rural quietude, have been totally reliant on news and information from a scantily competitive AM radio stations in Butuan City dominating the airwaves all throughout the region.

But it didn’t take long enough until former Representative Ceferino S. Paredes Jr., while sitting as governor of the province in the latter part of the 80s, worked hard to establish a

truly locally-based broadcast station, which is now popularly known today as “DXDA AM station 927 Khz” , run by the provincial government.

As his brainchild, DXDA have turned out to be the breeding ground for homegrown local talents in the local broadcast media industry now earning a niche as respected professional broadcast journalists who already gained a lot of respect from their peers and even veteran broadcasters

in Butuan City.

“We could not be what we are today, if Atty. Paredes did not vigorously pushed to totally develop the promising local broadcast industry,” said Max Tutor, station manager of DXSF 96.1 “San Franz Radio” FM, based in San Francisco town.

San Franz Radio has been the major beneficiary to the initiatives of Paredes to fully support the aspirations of Agusan Communications Foundations, Inc. (ACFI) TRIBUTE | page 11

DAR Provincial Information Officer Gil Miranda revealed, the recordbreaking performance was another achievement of Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer Andre Atega, since he took over DAR-Agusan Norte office in 2007.

Miranda said that as of June 15, this year, DARAgusan del Norte has distributed a total 2,198 hectares of agricultural lands to 1,248 farmer-beneficiaries exceeding its 1,370-hectare target by 828 hectares.

Christmas is anti-corruption month House Bill 3005, authored

by Congressman Rufus B. Rodriguez, was recently signed into Republic Act 10589 (An Act Declaring December of Every Year as "Anti-Corruption Month" in the Entire Country) by President Benigno S. Aquino III. Rep. Rodriguez filed this bill to instill awareness in every Filipino, the effects of corruption. Based on the law, December of every year is declared as "Anti-Corruption Month" in the entire country. This means that every December, all heads of government agencies and instrumentalities, including government-owned and -controlled corporations as well as local government units and employers in the private sector are mandated to conduct activities designed to create awareness among the people on the adverse effects of corruption.

The awareness campaign must not only contain information on what constitutes an act of corruption, but also what citizens must do when faced with such corruption.

The law designates the Office of the Ombudsman as the lead agency.

Meanwhile, Republic Act

10159 which was recently signed into law by President Benigno S. Aquino III aims to ease the burden of convicts by increasing the rate of subsidiary imprisonment which will result in lesser days in prison for convicts.

RA10159 stemmed from House Bill 600 authored

by Congressman Rufus B. Rodriguez.

The law now prescribes that if the convict has no property with which to meet the fine imposed on him, he shall be subject to a subsidiary personal liability at the rate of one day for each amount equivalent to the highest minimum wage rate prevailing in the Philippines at the time of the rendition of judgment of conviction by the trial court.

At present, the highest minimum wage is in Metro Manila at P456 per day.

This was raised from the previous provision of the Revised Penal Code of one day for every 8 pesos.

Congressman Rodriguez filed this bill to help less fortunate Filipinos who by one reason or another have been convicted of a crime and has no property to pay for the fine imposed on him.

Suspected kidnapper falls in Zamboanga Sibugay ZAMBOANGA CITY (MindaNews) – Authorities arrested Wednesday morning a suspected kidnap-forransom group member in the province of Zamboanga Sibugay, an official said.

Chief Insp. Ariel Huesca, Police Regional Office-9 spokesman, said the suspect,

Basir Sakilan, was arrested at around 3 a.m. in Barangay Bluawan, Payao municipality.

Huesca said Sakilan, 41, has a pending warrant of arrest for kidnapping and serious illegal detention issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 24

Judge Josefino Bael of Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.

Huesca said Sakilan was allegedly involved in the November 9, 2010 kidnapping of businessmen Reynaldo Drapeza and Joel Endino in the boundary of Kabasalan and Payao towns.

He said that Drapeza

and Endino were freed in April 2011.

Huesca said that operatives of the Provincial Public Safety Company, Philippine Center on Transnational Crime and Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission arrested Sakilan at his hideout. (MindaNews)

MALAYBALAY CITY (MindaNews) - In its inaugural session last Monday, the Bukidnon Sangguniang Panlalawigan included four new areas among its existing committees, including climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.

Provincial board member Jay Albarece, chair of the committee on rules and privileges, said the board is catching up on others that already have such a committee related to climate change and disaster preparedness.

He stressed it is high time to create the committee with the present climate change situation.

The committee on climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness is lumped with the committee on environmental protection. The committee is chaired by Alfeo Baguio of the third district, who chaired the original committee in the last provincial board.

Ma. Easterluna Canoy, executive director of the Kitanglad Integrated NGOs, hoped the move is “not for compliance and cosmetic adjustment only.”

“I hope the provincial government included climate change

adaptation and disaster preparedness [due to the] urgency of the problem,” she told MindaNews.

But Canoy noted that it is still a welcome move even if it came “quite late” for a province that is supposed to be “advanced” in climate change adaptation, mitigation and disaster preparedness.

Canoy said it should translate into policies that would create climate change interventions and programs, which she noted should not endanger the natural habitat and existing resources of the province.

“The move should result in the implementation of climate compatible development projects,” Canoy added.

Another new committee is on ethics, which was added to Albarece’s committee on rules and privileges.

He said the ethics committee would cover internal conduct at the provincial board. Albarece, the only lawyer left in the board, also chairs the committee on laws, labor, and manpower development.

Social service for senior citizens and other areas was also

included in the existing committee on women and family, health, and social services. Board member Marivic Montesclaros, who held the committee in the last provincial board, retained the post.

Public Uti lity is als o lumped into the committee on civil service, chaired by first district board member Clive Quiño, who was elected majority floor leader. He also chairs the committee on civil service.

In his remarks after election, Quiño vowed a provincial board that looks “more of quality than quantity.”

Among the highlights of the two-hour afternoon session was the selection of newcomer Bob Casanova, former Malaybalay City councilor, as chair of the committee on appropriations, ways and means.

Veteran board member Manuel Dinlayan questioned the choice over re-elected board member Ranulfo Pepito.

But Pepito told the session he respects the decision of the presiding officer in choosing Casanova, referring to Vice Governor Alex Calingasan,

Calingasan said that Casanova was given the committee chairmanship because of his previous experience as chair of the committee on appropriations in the Malaybalay City council.

Pepito, however, retained the committee on agriculture, cooperatives, and trade and industry.

Dinlayan now chairs the committee on land use and human settlement, and agrarian reform.

Calingasan, the presiding officer, also heads two committees – the committee on beautification and tourism, which was previously held by Dinlayan, and the special oversight committee (good governance, developmental research, plans and programs; and enforcement of laws and ordinances).

Board member Gordon Torres, whose family runs a college, chairs the committee on education and the committee on justice and human rights and peace and order.

Broadcaster Renato Centillas now chairs the committee on poverty alleviation and social reform.

The other newcomer, former Malaybalay City councillor Melchor Maramara, chairs the committee on engineering and public works.

Federation of Association of Barangay Councils president Roelito Gawilan chairs the committee on barangay and local government.

Indigenous people’s mandatory representative Datu Magdalino Pandian retains the chairmanship for the committee on indigenous cultural communities and indigenous peoples.

Sangguniang Kabataan federation chair Raiza Angelique Porminal chairs the committee on youth and sports development.

Aside from the committees, the inaugural session also discussed changes on internal rules.

The board members decided to move the regular session from Wednesday to Monday, at 1:30 p.m. The morning is open for committee hearings and question hour with guests.

Maryland community becomes patron of arts

By JUNE SOH of VOANews.com CHESTERTOWN, MARYLAND — Artists would like to devote all their effort on their craft, but the need to make money often forces them to focus on creating works that can be sold. A small town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland has become a patron of the arts, and the community hopes its burgeoning patronage will give local artists creative freedom.

Vicco Von Voss has been making wooden furniture from salvaged materials for 20 years.

“When I get a tree that has been blown over by a hurricane or strictly taken down by a tree company, I have the opportunity to give this tree a second life,” he said.

Voss is known for creating elegant, yet functional pieces.

“Part of my philosophy is that if it took a tree 80 years to grow, I need to build something that will last for that same duration.”

Honoring nature, art Voss formed that philosophy while he lived for

eight and a half years in a small cabin [9 feet x 12 feet] he had built on his lot outside Chestertown, Maryland.

“I grew to understand and love nature. But it wasn’t just loving nature, it was observing the real subtleties of the land, of the trees.

And with that, I thought I’ve got became a steward of nature,” he said.

Voss works mostly by commission. So when a local museum - the Academy Art Museum in Easton, Maryland - invited him to exhibit his furniture at an art show next year, he had a

problem: He sells his work as soon as he completes it.

“Basically the idea of borrowing my clients’ pieces for two months was not an option. I couldn’t go and say ‘I need to borrow your dining table for two months.’”

Gallery owner Carla Massoni came up with an idea to work around the problem. If patrons were to loan money to Voss - so he would not have to sell each piece - he could create a body of work for the museum show. Afterwards, he would sell the pieces and pay back the money. So far, Massoni says more than 20

people have participated in what she calls the “Seed Project.”

“Many of the people that are involved in this probably wouldn’t be able to purchase a piece of Vicco’s work. But they still want to be part of the process of his creating these pieces,” said Massoni.

Making a connection Bob Ingersoll is one of the participants.

“It seemed to me such an interesting project. Here I had a chance to help Vicco concentrate more on creating pieces of art. I expect to see a beautiful piece come arts | page 8

DOT kicks off more fun activities in Intramuros

THE Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Intramuros Administration launch “Kultura…Musika…

Saya!” featuring Intramuros Rocks, a free-admission concert at the Maestranza Park of the Walled City scheduled today, July 5.

Intramuros Rocks serves as a kick-off activity of the many programs and events under the Intramuros Redevelopment Plan, aimed at promoting cultural appreciation and heritage awareness to the public, especially the youth. The concert will feature bands and artists including Shamrock, Spirit of ‘67, Pilipinas Got Talent finalist Zilent Overload, and many others. There will also be a bazaar featuring food stalls and booths selling local handicraft, tribal arts, and other novelty items within the newly restored Maestranza Park.

The venue, also called Almacenes Curtain Wall, is situated right beside the Pasig River and was a former storehouse and soldier’s quarter during the Spanish time. Formerly the seat of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, Intramuros is home to important historical sites and tourist spots such as Fort Santiago, Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church and Casa Manila.

“Intramuros, as a historical and cultural center, plays an important role in the promotion of Manila as a premier destination. The walls of Intramuros tell a beautiful story of our resilience. It is not only an important cultural landmark, but also one of the historical treasures we Filipinos must protect,” Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. said.

“It would be fulfilling to see our youth of today discover new reasons to appreciate the Walled City and become active participants in its promotion,” the tourism chief added.

For event details, interested parties may contact the DOT-NCR Product Development and Research Unit at 524-8311 and 523-8823 or the Tourist Information & Special Projects Unit at 525-2000 and 524-2384.

Bukidnon SP creates committee on climate change adaptation, disaster preparedness

By Walter I. Balane

MAL A YBALAY CITY – In its inaugural session last Monday, the Bukidnon Sangguniang Panlalawigan included four new areas among its existing committees, including climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.

Provincial board member Jay Albarece, chair of the committee on rules and privileges, said the board is catching up on others that already have such a committee related to climate change and disaster preparedness.

He stressed it is high time to create the committee with the present climate change situation.

The committee on climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness is lumped with the committee on environmental protection. The committee is chaired by Alfeo Baguio of the third district, who chaired the original committee in the last provincial board.

Ma. Easterluna Canoy, executive director of the Kitanglad Integrated NGOs, hoped the move is “not for compliance and cosmetic adjustment only.”

“I hope the provincial government included climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness [due to the] urgency of the problem,” she told MindaNews.

But Canoy noted that it is still a welcome move even if it came “quite late” for a province that is supposed to be “advanced” in climate change adaptation, mitigation and disaster preparedness.

Canoy said it should translate into policies that would create climate change interventions and programs, which she noted should not endanger the natural habitat and

existing resources of the province.

“The move should result in the implementation of climate compatible development projects,” Canoy added.

Another new committee is on ethics, which was added to Albarece’s committee on rules and privileges.

He said the ethics committee would cover internal conduct at the provincial board. Albarece, the only lawyer left in the board, also chairs the committee on laws, labor, and manpower development.

Social service for senior citizens and other areas was also included in the existing committee on women and family, health, and social services. Board member Marivic Montesclaros, who held the committee in the last provincial board, retained the post.

Public Utility is also lumped into the committee on civil service, chaired by first district board member Clive Quiño, who was elected majority floor leader. He also chairs the committee on civil service.

In his remarks after election, Quiño vowed a provincial board that looks “more of quality than quantity.”

Among the highlights of the two-hour afternoon session was the selection of newcomer Bob Casanova, former Malaybalay City councilor, as chair of the committee on appropriations, ways and means.

Veteran board member Manuel Dinlayan questioned the choice over re-elected board member Ranulfo Pepito.

But Pepito told the session he respects the decision of the presiding officer in choosing Casanova, referring to Vice Governor Alex Cal-

ingasan, Calingasan said that Casanova was given the committee chairmanship because of his previous experience as chair of the committee on appropriations in the Malaybalay City council.

Pepito, however, retained the committee on agriculture, cooperatives, and trade and industry.

Dinlayan now chairs the committee on land use and human settlement, and agrarian reform.

Calingasan, the presiding officer, also heads two committees – the committee on beautification and tourism, which was previously held by Dinlayan, and the special oversight committee (good governance, developmental research, plans and programs; and enforcement of laws and ordinances).

Board member Gordon Torres, whose family runs a college, chairs the committee on education and the committee on justice and human rights and peace and order.

Broadcaster Renato Centillas now chairs the committee on poverty alleviation and social reform.

The other newcomer, former Malaybalay City councillor Melchor Maramara, chairs the committee on engineering and public works.

Federation of Association of Barangay Councils president Roelito Gawilan chairs the committee on barangay and local government.

Indigenous people’s mandatory representative Datu Magdalino Pandian retains the chairmanship for the committee on indigenous cultural communities and indigenous peoples.

Sangguniang Kabataan federation chair Raiza Angelique Porminal chairs the committee on youth

and sports development.

Aside from the committees, the inaugural session also discussed changes on internal rules.

The board members decided to move the regular session from Wednes-

day to Monday, at 1:30 p.m. The morning is open for committee hearings and question hour with guests.

They also ruled that the English and the Binukid versions of “Bukid-

non My Home,” the provincial hymn, will come after the singing of the Lupang Hinirang every session. They will also recite the provincial board members’ oath. (Walter I. Balane/MindaNews)

P1m can build 2 classrooms In reaction to what I have written here yesterday, a friend from Butuan texted me that with P1 million two classrooms can already be built as long as SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure), a euphemism for kickbacks, are totally dispensed with.

I think my friend was right. If talks are to be believed, 20 to 30 percent of the total cost of hard or infrastructure projects funded by congressional funds or pork barrel is reserved for the congressman. Another 20 percent is reserved for officials whose approval and signature are indispensable for the release and acceptance of the project.

And add the usual margin reserved for the contractor at 10 to 20 percent of the total cost.

Without the kickbacks and a reduced margin for the contractor, P500,000 indeed can already build one classroom. And what if the classroom is constructed through the brigada effort

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II where the people in the locality are mobilized as volunteers, will the cost not be brought down even more so that the P1 million can already build three classrooms?

I have no doubt this can be done. But why is this not being done? This is not being done because no one would want to give up their share of the kickback – the congressman, the line agency or local government unit officials whose approval and signature are indispensable. And no contractor will ever sacrifice his margin of profit for the sake of public service.

The “pagkakaperahan ba natin ito” mindset is very prevalent among government officials be they elective or appointive. This mindset is the logic behind why cemented roads in this country are undertaken not to last for a lifetime but for a certain period of time only so that road construction and repair becomes a regular fare. This mindset is the reason behind why cemented roads are overlaid with asphalt or that re-blocking projects to repair the cracks of cemented roads.

But congressional funds are not the only public funds exposed to corruption. In

The unlocked door

THINK a minute.

This is a true story about a young lady who got so tired of living with her strict parents that she ran away from home. But she soon found out that life was not easy on her own.

She couldn’t find a job, and it didn’t take long for her friends to get sick of her living off of their kindness so they kicked her out.

Well, this young 19-yearold girl got so desperate she decided to start making money by becoming a prostitute.

Years passed. Her father died. Her mother grew older.

And the daughter’s life just got worse and terribly unhappy. But she still would not write or go home to see her mother.

One day the mother heard that her daughter

was seen in a certain part of town, so she went there looking for her daughter.

She went to every store and cheap hotel asking to put a picture on their walls.

It was a picture of herself, now a gray-haired woman.

Beside her picture was this message to her daughter which simply said: “I still love you! Please come home!”

Months went by and nothing happened. Then one day the daughter who was now very skinny and sick wandered into one of those hotels.

You can imagine how shocked she was to see her mother’s picture on the wall of that dirty, cheap hotel.

As she read her mother’s message to her she began to cry.

That night she started

walking the many miles back to her home.

It was early in the morning when she finally arrived at the front door of her parent’s house. She began to knock but the door was already open.

Afraid that someone had broken into her parent’s house, she ran inside and woke up the sleeping old lady and told her she had finally come home. Mother and daughter began to cry as they held each other.

The daughter said: “I thought someone had broken open the door!” But the mother shook her head and answered gently: “My dear, from the day you left I’ve kept the door unlocked.”

You know, it does not matter to Jesus Christ what wrong things you’ve done or how badly you’ve lived.

fact, all public funds are forever exposed to corruption or subject to corrupt practices in its disbursement.

It is said that during the past administration, funds were allocated for the construction of multi-million bridges. After funds were released for these bridges, requests were made for the construction of rivers to justify the construction of these bridges.

It may be a joke but it emphasizes the fact how corrupted the disbursement of public funds is in this country. The “pagkakaperhan ba natin ito” mindset has become the guidepost in determining projects to be undertaken or programs to be pursued. The idea that government projects should be undertaken and programs should be pursued to uplift the people from their sorry economic state is given nary consideration, if at all it is ever considered.

Public interest is never build | page 7

Think A Minute

Jhan Tiafau Hurst The moment you decide to turn to Him and ask His forgiveness, He will always accept you and give you another chance. Jesus is the One Who will enable you to start a new life all over again, but this time living His way with Him in charge.

He said that’s the only way you’ll ever have real love, peace of mind, and satisfaction that lasts.

Just Think a Minute.

Killing children, selling their organs

LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… Some Pharisees came to (Jesus) to test him. They asked, `Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?

(He replied)… what God has joined together, let no one separate’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in Matthew 19:3, 6, the Holy Bible).

-oooKILLING CHILDREN, SELLING THEIR ORGANS: Somebody should now tell President Aquino to act on, and immediately stop, abductions of children and other young adults for purposes of extracting and then later on selling their internal organs because, from all indications, this has become a national scourge,

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio as reported in grisly detail yet, through pictures published in networking sites like Facebook.

Just as I was writing this column on Thursday, July 04, 2013, there was a post in Facebook which has gone viral, showing a dead boy lying on a table, evidently inside a morgue, with his stomach slashed open and his internal organs fully displayed. The picture, which also shows two men apparently investigating

the boy, is accompanied by a caption attributed to one Lourdes Magpantay Lagazon.

-oooWARNING TO PARENTS, CHILDREN: The caption, written in Filipino, reads in English: “Just to warn you parents… do watch our children… Parents, don’t allow your children to get out without any companions… Someone is snatching them away, killing them, and then selling

their organs later. Inside the stomach of the victims are peso bills, apparently intended as payment for the organs taken away from them. The bills are even accompanied by notes which say, `we are sorry, but this is simply work for us’…

“This is not a joke. This took place in Malabon, in Tanong Mallari. We are sorry, the picture is too grisly. But this is true…”

For the record, this was not the first post showing children with their internal organs popping out of their stomach. There have been a spate of similar horrendous pictures before.

The question is, nobody seems interested on the killings, so this is going on, unabated, with the ORGANS | page 8

Twenty-peso daily wage hike takes effect in Northern Mindanao PR I VAT E wor k e r s i n Northern Mindanao are expected to get an additional P20 in their minimum daily wage effective June 20 t h is yea r w it h t he implementation of Wage Order (WO) R X-17, the Regional Tripartite Wages

and Productivity Board (RTWPB) in Region 10 said.

The new increase includes P10 in basic wage and P10 cost of liv ing allowance (COLA), Atty.

Johnson G. Cañete, regional director of the Department of Labor and Employment

(DOLE) in Region 10, said.

C a ňete, who is t he Chairperson of RTWPB-X, said the P10 COLA will then be integrated to the basic wage by January 1, 2014, as approved by the board members.

Higher trade volume in Region 10 continues

By IRENE DOMINGO, Business Daily reporter

NORTHERN Mindanao continues to register an uptrend in domestic trade volume and ranked fourth nationwide with the value of goods traded at P11.79 billion or 9% increase from last year, t he Nationa l Statistics Off ice (NSO) reported.

On the national scale, a total 5.99 million tons of commodities were traded within the country, up by 26.7% from 4.73 million tons in the same period last year, according to the NSO’s preliminary results.

Goods continued to be transported mostly via water, with 99.9% of goods shipped, only slightly higher than last year’s 99.8%.

The value of commodities fell by a slim 0.3% to P131 billion from P131.41 billion in the first quarter of 2012.

Food and live animals

chipped in the biggest value with P38.8 billion, almost a third of total trade value nationwide.

Machinery and transport equipment followed with 15.5% or P20.29 billion, and manufactured goods provided 14.9% or P19.48 billion.

Animal and vegetable oils, fats and wa xes contributed the least value at 2.27 billion or 1.7% of the total trade value.

In terms of region, most of the goods came from Metro Manila with trade va lue at P35.31 bi l lion, followed by Central Visayas with P23.79 billion.

Central Luzon contributed P13.6 billion or 10.4%.

C a g a y a n Va l l e y accounted for the least value of domestic trade with only P30,000.

Sought for comment, economist Peter Lee U of the University of Asia and the Pacific attributed the lower total value of commodities, despite the higher volume, to lower average price in the past quarter than in the same period last year.

“That means the prices must have dropped. Maybe the prices are lower this year, so the value had a slight drop.

The average price must have fallen,” he said.

Apolinar F. Oblea, an NSO statistician, said that machinery and transport equ ipment “cou ld have inf luenced the decrease in value.”

Ba sed on NSO d at a , quantity of machinery and transport equipment jumped to 317,361 tons in the last quarter from 286,426, but value declined to P20.29 billion from P27.76 billion.

( The proper height of the chalkboard from the floor to its top-edge is determined by multiplying the mean standing height of the class by the constant 1.2 ). This constant is the result of studies conducted on the portion of the standing height to the normal reach of the hand over the head of the individual.

4. Above the chalkboard, a framed portrait of the President of the Philippines shall be displayed prominently at the center, flanked on one side at the lower level by a framed motto ( for the month or week ) and on the other side by a framed picture preferably relevant to the motto. In Grade I and II, framed perceptions strips are displayed along the top edge ( or frame ) of the chalkboard , while framed conceptualizing strips along the bottom-edge of the chalk ledge. The bulletin boards as well as charts, may be placed on the walls at the sides at the back of the room. They

shall be placed at the same heights as the chalkboards.

5. The attendance chart and the DepEd forms racks are placed near the door.

6. The teacher’s table, chair and cabinet are located at the rear of the room.

7. One corner of the room is set-up as a reading corner. Another corner of the room is set-up as a health corner and provided with a first aid or medicine cabinet with mirror, soap dish, towel rack, and handwashing and drinking facilities.

8. The seat arrangement of the pupils/ students shall be flexible, depending upon the needs or activities of the class.

In addition to these, the Regional Office requires the following: 1. Above the chalkboard, a framed copy of the National Anthem shall be displayed at the upper left hand and on the other side, a framed copy of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine Flag.

2. A classroom-based data on the Basic Education Information System to be placed on the walls at the sides or at the back of the room which contains the following modules: Module A -Pupils/Students Profile Module B- Teachers Organizational Chart of DepEd Officials Module C- Curriculum Development Module D- Legislative Rights of the Child and School and Classroom Policies Module E- Physical Facilities Module F- Finance Module G- Community Involvement Module H – Research and Evaluation This article is intended for teachers in the field who are not aware of this newlyimplemented classroom structuring.

CDO’s populace lives below the poverty line, which is the national norm actually.

Now, why would the concern of few cable tv providers in CDO about the theft of their connection be the priority over the poverty, the hopelessness of the more or less 60 percent of CDO’s residents? Perhaps it’s good if Rodriguez is asked why this is so.

Unless, of course, Rodriguez is promoting and protecting the interest of cable tv providers in CDO and all over the country, his priority bill against theft of this service is misplaced.

What his constituents in the second congressional district of CDO longs is for him to pave the way, sow the seed by sponsoring legislative measures that’ll ensure inclusive economic growth for the majority of

the populace.

People can survive without cable tv. But people can’t survive without food on their tables. Given this fact, Rodriguez should prioritize making the people economically productive so that they’ll have money to buy food on their table. This means making the rural folk agriculturally productive to ensure food security and for the non-farmers to have jobs or engage in small or medium-sized manufacturing efforts by giving them skills and providing them access to easy-to-pay capital.

Unfortunately, Rodriguez has a different mindset, a mindset that is shared by almost all of our elective and appointive public officials.

-oooPUNISHMENT FOR DIVORCING COUPLES AND LAWMAKERS: And it would seem that not only is punishment reserved for the men divorcing their wives, or the men marrying or entering into relationships with womendivorcees, but also for those providing the situation that would allow such divorces and illicit relationships with divorcees.

In Matthew 5:19, the Bible says: “… Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven…” Clearly, when lawmakers succeed in passing a divorce law, they are allowing men and women to violate the commands of God, for husbands and

wives not to separate. It is evident that they, too, will suffer.

-oooNOT JUST JOBS, BUT DEEPER SPIRITUALITY, TOO: I am in full agreement with Senators Sonny Angara and Cynthia Villar that the Aquino government should do everything it can so that more financially rewarding jobs can be made available to poor Filipinos to stop their exodus to foreign soils just to earn better. But just having more jobs is not enough.

We must also endeavor to instill spiritual discipline among Filipinos, to compel them to have fear and love of God, which is the source of real success and prosperity.

factored in when government projects and programs are considered. But in the realm of legislation, public interest is likewise not considered. Consider the priority bill that Cagayan de Oro (CDO) City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez has filed in the 16th Congress that will officially open third Monday of this month.

The bill that Rodriguez thinks as priority in CDO is on imposing harsher penalties to theft of cable television through illegal connection of such service.

Why Rodriguez considers this a priority is beyond me.

I don’t think 50 percent of the entire households in CDO have cable tv.

But one thing sure is that not less than 60 percent of

“Jesus replied, `Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual

DepEd Bukidnon spearheads Five-Day Mass Training on K to 12 BEC

By Justiniana M. Cabigon, Maramag Central Elem. School

Last May 21-25, 2012, the Grade I teachers from DepEd Bukidnon had attended the five-day Division Mass Training on K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum. The said educational affair was held in Bukidnon State University Gym. The activity was financed by the DepEd Bukidnon through an active implementer SDS Ingrid G. Racoma., Ph.D., CESO V. The speakers were Dr. Victoria V. Gazo, ASDS, EPS Luzminda Ediza, EPS Mikka Gellor and EPS Joy

Sabanpan and other Master teachers from various districts in Bukidnon.

The new curriculum was officially implemented starting SY 2012-2013 from Grade I and Grade II both public and private schools in the country.

There are seven learning areas in Grade I , the Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan, Edukasyong Pagpapakatao and MAPEH; hence these subjects to be taught require a vernacular as a medium of instructions. The ultimate goal of

this new curriculum is the communicative competence of the pupils both in Oral and Written Skills.

With this innovative curriculum designed by the DepEd implementers from the higher office, the Grade I teachers from various walks of life are indeed challenged to follow with great care, creativity, enthusiasm and commitment.

Assessment materials should be carefully planned.

Many of the teachers should exert their time in order to cope up with valid evaluation tools and other assessment materials. Teachers

Massoni said such willingness could have something to do with the community’s historic connection to the surrounding farmland and river.

“What Vicco does is using the natural resources of the region, trees, the connection he has to the living breathing environment that he is part of. Many people share that philosophy as well,” said Massoni.

Voss said the Seed Project has allowed him to grow as a craftsman.

“I thought what a phenomenal opportunity to get out of my own box and create something very unique and very sculptural, much more artistic, but still functional, than what I have created in the past,” said Voss.

The Chestertown community hopes the Seed Project could blossom into support for other artists and craftsmen in the future.

Daily HOROSCOPE

Social Section

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - You have got to find a better way to get your message out -- it’s not easy to break through the chatter!

Fortunately, your great mental energy helps you to make your case this afternoon.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - You know that life is change -- and today proves that point over and over. You may be better suited to accept all the mutability, so look around and see if you can help someone close cope.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Avoid anything heavy or intense today -- you’ve got to deal with people who are pushing you hard already, and you are much better off if you can force them to stick to ephemera.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - You’re not meeting expectations -- you’re defying them! That could cause some folks to become alarmed, but just show them that you mean business and you should be able to get them to see reason.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - A bit of news or gossip comes your way midday that may lighten your mood considerably -- and it was probably already pretty light! Keep the chain of communication intact to keep it that way.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Don’t take it personally when that close friend or family members totally misreads you today -- that kind of thing happens, and you’ve got to accept it for what it is. Gently correct them and move on.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You’ve got a lot to talk about today -- and you should be surrounded by the right people. Try to generate interest in at least one of your big ideas, because things that get started today are winners.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - Try to review the little details of your latest big project -- something’s not quite right but you haven’t spotted the flaw yet. Once you do, fixing it shouldn’t be too much work, but it could delay progress.

AFP, PNP-13 appeal for public support against atrocities BUTUAN CIT Y – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP) have appealed for the public to help in averting violence in Caraga Region.

During the meeting of the Caraga Conference for Peace and Development, Col. Henry Dar, commander of the Philippine Army’s

401st Brigade, and P/CSupt.

Getulio P. Napeñas, PNP regional director for Caraga, took turns in asking all partners to cooperate with them in ensuring peace and security in the region.

They also encouraged the public to inform the military and police of the presence of illegal armed groups by simply texting

them.

Col. Dar said, the AFP is augmenting its force in Agusan del Sur and other highly critical areas even as he assured that the AFP will not stop defending the Caraganons from communist initiated atrocities by improving its intelligence network.

“The AFP soldiers are

ready to risk their lives 24/7 to ensure peace and safety in the region,” Dar added.

The PNP is also intensifying its security preparations, as the barangay and SK elections are fast approaching.

Director Napeñas said that for this purpose, they have set up Joint Security Control Centers (JSCC), es-

tablished Election Monitoring and Assistance Centers, while hosting/attending election stakeholders security planning meetings and workshops at the regional and provincial levels, with the COMELEC and the AFP.

DENR-13 Executive Director Nonito M. Tamayo said “the all-out support from the police and the military has greatly contributed to the achievement

of our goal.”

DENR also gave tribute to its 15 retiring senior employees, namely Bonifacio Sumagpao, Lynus Coloso (posthumous), represented by his wife Carmelita Coloso (Nasipit); Hetulio A. Sayud of (Tubay); Pacheco G. Tan (San Francisco); Monica Comandante

MinDaily-Caraga trains FRIDAY | july 5, 2013

gov’t PIOs B

By Robert E. Roperos

UTUAN CITY – Pool of experts from Mindanao Daily News (MDN) have trained last Friday, June 28, 2013, government information officers (IOs) in Caraga Region on news writing, photojournalism and proper conduct of news conference.

In his speech delivered by PIA-Caraga Regional Operations Chief Nora Molde, Philippine Information Agency (PIA) 13 Director Abner Caga emphasized that as government information officers, there is a need for them to be regularly updated in order to deliver the news and information of their respective agencies to the public in an accurate, relevant and timely manner.

“We should always remember that no matter how good our press release is, in as far as the technicality is concerned, it is still useless if our write-ups will not be published in newspapers; posted in websites, blogs, and other social networking sites. This means that (news and information) cannot reach our target audience,” Caga said.

In this way, the official

pointed out the need for the information officers to partner with the local tri-media in their respective areas of responsibilities since they have the capacity to disseminate the articles produced by them (info officers).

“As an information officer, we have to bear in our mind that we must not compete with the media personalities.

Instead, we have to partner with them, because it cannot be denied that they have the capacity to disseminate the news and information that we have written in a wider perspective. What is more important, therefore, is that news and information will really reach to our recipients – the general public – whom we are serving for,” Dir. Caga said.

Meanwhile, Nida Grace Tranquilan, PIA-Surigao del Sur Information Center

manager, said the training is very appropriate to government information officers since additional inputs were given by the speakers more particularly in the conduct or facilitating news/press conference.

“I am privileged to have attended the training since the speaker has given new inputs that will benefit me

because I am regularly facilitating the conduct of press conferences in my area of responsibility,” she said.

Also, the PIA-Surigao del Sur Information Center Manager stressed that new inputs on photojournalism is very timely as new trends in capturing pictures are already utilized especially that photos are posted in PIA
