ZAMBOANGA’S BAYWALK. For the older generation, this has always been called as Cawa-cawa, a seashore shaped like a giant wok. Just two decades ago, it used to be a beach front where folks in the city would go for swimming. Recently, pollution set in and people were warned against swimming here. The city government instead improved on the shoreline and converted it into a modern park, best experienced at sunset and into the night. mindanews photo by jules l . benitez

Those unwanted signs along the river WITH due resp ec t, those oversized signs you see upf ront on the flood walls along Cagayan de Oro river have become annoying, albeit irrelevant way of sending key messages to the public. Sorely, these signs are plain and simple graffiti turned eyesores, putting down the natural aesthetics of the river. Sadly, this is a classic case of sending ‘the right messages in the wrong place’. While the intentions are perhaps sincere and well justified, the venue may not fit for the messages to get across the city’s seat of power — the intended receiver of the messages? For a city on the way to b e coming a

metropolis, graffities on the iconic Cagayan de Oro river are not the right venue for free ad placements. Tr y to pay a visit to Iloilo City’s grand river turned popular esplanade. This is what it looks like: Iloilo Esplanade or simply the “esplanade” as locals call it, is a peaceful promenade that runs alongside the Iloilo River. It is one of b est showcases of the city’s efforts to rehabilitate and protect the Iloilo R ive r and promote active lifestyles. It is also a popular t ou r i s t s p ot w h e re visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll and enjoy the serene views along the river. To those who will

occupy the city hall after May 9 national and local elections, kindly respect the natural bounty of Cagayan de Oro river by passing a mandatory ordinance to place and protect the river away from unwanted signs and graffities. And then perhaps copy what Iloilo City has done to its grand river turned world-class river esplanade.

Kim’s Dream The Philippines Facing Alarming Ecological Crisis!

Who Among the Candidates Can Effect Social Change?

“TAYO ang simula ng pagbabago!” This is the often repeated all-catch-phrase being drumbeated nowa-days to call all qualified voters to vote and participate vigilantly in this year’s electoral processes. This campaign is especially addressed to the youth who now constitutes a significant number of the population as 63% of the populace falls within the 35 year-old and below bracket. Based on COMELEC’s estimate, there will be some 65 million voters during the 2022 Elections. The message is resoundingly clear: each one must undergo a transformation of the heart or spirit by shedding-off one’s apathy to become a responsible citizen by voting wisely, and bingo, the beginning of social change! I think this is far from the truth. One’s transformation may produce a saint but has no effect in society unless oppressive structures and systems are changed. This was aptly elaborated by the late Archbishop of El Salvador, His Eminence Oscar Romero: “When I gave food to the poor, they called me a saint. When I asked why they are poor, they called me a communist.” The good Archbishop kept on asking that question to somehow enhance his constituency’s social consciousness to struggle against

oppressive rule prevailing then in his country. He had to be silenced through the barrel of a gun while he was celebrating a mass early morning. In the Philippine context, social change has been so elusive to those who have dreamt and struggled for it. Fourteen years of Martial Law and two people power revolutions have not made a dent in the societal set-up. True, there were “changing of the guards” but the tentacles of greed that rendered the country dry of its natural wealth and consigned many in the slum areas have remained as formidable as ever. My contention is that individual transformation should emanate not just from participating in elections but in the increasing of social awareness that will prod the conscienticized to act to shape a society based on social justice, equity and sustainable development. The “changing of the guards” may not make a significant difference unless well-entrenched flawed social structures are changed. The question is, will the next leaders have the political will to reform a quasi-feudal society and to replace the dominant paradigm, that has sacrificed our people and our resource base to the altar of greed and profit, with

Orlan R. Ravanera

an alternative development model that is for the people and pro-environment? We all know that our country is facing an alarming ecological crisis that unless soon averted will lead to our accelerating drive towards environmental disasters as our natural resources are already seriously depleted. Out of the 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forest a century ago, we only have less than half a million hectares. The ideal forest cover is 54%, now it is less than 10%. Seventy percent of our mangrove forest destroyed, 40% of our watersheds are seriously eroded, 50% of fishery over-fished, degraded or polluted and 75% of coral reefs severely damaged by destructive fishing, industrial pollution and siltation. Of the 13 major bays in the country, 10 are already biologically dead to the detriment of the coastal communities that are now becoming the “poorest if the poor.” Of the 25 major rivers, 15 are already dried-up or polluted as our country has lost our dipterocarp forest, the invisible “water dam.” What is so troubling is the latest research-study by well-known scientists and environmentalists See CANDIDATES, page 15

Davao City won’t stop churches from holding Holy Week activities By ANTONIO L. COLINA IV, MindaNews

DAVAO CITY – The city government of Davao will not stop the Roman Catholic churches here from organizing processions and other religious activities that could potentially draw a huge crowd during the Holy Week as the city remains under Alert Level 1 status. Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson for the local COVID-19 Task Force, said during her program over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5) on

Wednesday that the local government could neither disallow groups from staging huge gatherings nor restrict the movement of people while the city remains under level 1 status. Churches here had suspended faceto-face Holy Week activities for the past two years amid the surge of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases and had brought everything available online for their parishioners. Schlosser said to avoid getting infected with COVID-19, churchgoers

Manhunt against killer of Israeli national launched BY CRIS DIAZ, Executive Editor

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - Local police on Sunday issued a manhunt for the killers of an Israeli national who was gunned down outside of his rented apartment here. Col. Aaron M. Mandia, the Cagayan de Oro Coty police chief, issued the order after the killers of Reuven Baranovitch, an Israel national, remained at large the past days. Witnesses told the police of two unidentified gunmen riding in tandem who gunned down Baranovitch as he stepped out of his rented apartment at 11th-20th

St. Barangay Nazareth in Cagayan de Oro City on March 31, 2022. Mandia said that the police were looking into the motive of the killing and were trying to contact the victim’s relatives who have yet to coordinate with the police. “We were doing all possible means to identify the possible culprits in order for Baranovitch to get justice,” Mandia said in a statement released to the local press. Baranovitch was reportedly engaged in a lending business until he and his live-inpartner part ways prompting Baranovitch to live alone in a rented apartment prior to the shooting incident.

must keep wearing face masks during Lenten activities. “What we ask from the church goers or religious groups to make sure that you wear your face masks and do not do anything that’s risky. If the activities are too risky and you know that they might lead to massive transmission, then please refrain from doing that activity,” she said. Schlosser also urged the churches to convince their parishioners to have themselves vaccinated amid a threat of a new variant of COVID-19. She said the number of people in the city who got their booster doses remains low, and hopes that residents get their booster shots before participating in

any mass gatherings. Schlosser said the local government is eyeing to conduct mobile vaccination in government offices and business establishments to increase the booster coverage in the city, particularly among workers. “What we did was evaluate government offices and establishments, and we observed fewer people receive booster shots as compared with those fully vaccinated,” she said. In Davao Region, the Department of Health-Davao reported 3,021,109 individuals who were fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Of this total, only 408,807 got their booster doses. (Antonio L.

Global markets in positive mood With easing commodity prices and positive developments in the Russia-Ukraine war, global stock markets posted positive results. The price of Brent oil per barrel sat at UDS103 on Monday while it is at around USD108.6 currently. The ounce price of gold traded for around USD1,930, up from USD1,917 on Monday. Representatives from Russia and Ukraine met in Istanbul last week and agreed to reduce military actions in the cities of Kyiv and Chernihiv.

Mikhail Podolyak, advisor to the Ukrainian Presidential Office, said the results of the negotiations were sufficient for a meeting at the level of the heads of state. Although positive developments increased the risk appetite in global markets and ease commodity prices, natural gas prices continue to be affected by Russia’s ruble decision.

Policy rate hike in H2 still in offing as PH inflation rises By JOANN VILLANUEVA, PNA

A policy rate hike in the second half of 2022 remains in the horizon for monetary authorities as the jump in inflation rate last March to 4 percent is expected to continue in the coming months. The BSP’s key policy rates have been slashed by a total of 200 basis points in 2020 as part of the central bank’s measures to help buoy the domestic economy from the pandemic and the rates were again kept steady by the central bank’s policymaking Monetary Board (MB) during its meeting

last March. During the Philippine economic briefing on Tuesday, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin Diokno said the MB sees that the current level of policy rates is “appropriate given increased uncertainty surrounding the outlook for both inflation and growth.” “However, latest data including the latest inflation number this March suggest that inflation will remain elevated in the coming months,” he said.

Stronger domestic demand to fuel PH economic growth in 2022, 2023 M ANIL A – The Philippine economic recovery is expected to gain traction this and next year, underpinned by rising domestic investment and consumption as pandemic restrictions eased, allowing for more manufacturing and construction activities, according to a new report released by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Wednesday. The Asian Development Outlook 2022, ADB’s flagship economic publication, forecasts the Philippine economy to grow by 6 percent in 2022, rising further by 6.3 percent in 2023. Government measures issued last month to reopen the economy, lift mobility restrictions, expand coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccination, and relax international travel restrictions will boost the services sector. “Nearly all indicators point to higher growth for the Philippines this year and in 2023, barring the impact of external factors from geopolitical tensions that may dampen growth globally, including in the country’s key export markets Europe and the United States,” ADB Philippines Country Director Kelly Bird said.

“Policies to build the resilience of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which play a vital role in the country’s economic recovery, should be strengthened to support the sector’s digital transformation, business innovation, and skills development,” Bird added. The ADB is currently assisting the government to provide employer-led skills training to selected sectors to upgrade MSME workers’ competencies under the Skills Up Net Philippines program. The capital Metro Manila and areas on the main Luzon island, which account for

about 70 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), shifted to the lowest level of pandemic restrictions in March, as daily Covid-19 cases averaged below 1,000. Businesses and public transport are now allowed to operate at full capacity. The government has reopened the country to fully vaccinated international travelers since February. This should boost tourism and employment in the services sector, which accounts for 60 percent of GDP, according to the report. Increased public investment in large, priority infrastructure projects will

continue to boost growth, with the government aiming to sustain infrastructure spending at over 5 percent of GDP in 2022 from 5.8 percent in 2021, the report said. Recent upticks in private investment and the passage of policy reform measures to ease rules on foreign equity ownership and lower the minimum paid-up capital of foreign retailers will support economic growth. Imports of capital goods climbed at a double-digit pace in January 2022 and bank lending to businesses posted its biggest annual increase in nearly two years See ECONOMIC, page 14

CDO to open human milk bank in 2022 By REXCELLE L. TOLENTINO

AGAYAN DE ORO CITY--From advocating health and wellness for women and mothers, Cagayan de Oro City Nutrition Committee (CNC) has now introduced the upcoming establishment of a human health bank in the city, which will be facilitated in J.R. Borja General Hospital (JRBGH), adding to the existing milk bank in Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC). “So by 2022, gipaningkamutan sa Cagayan de Oro City nga ma-establish na gyod

ang Human Milk Bank. As of now, ongoing pa ang processing, nagbuhat pa sa building, magpalit pa sa mga equipment para sa human milk bank,” said Caroline Cabunoc, Breastfeeding, and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) coordinator of CNC said during the Talakayan sa PIA, March 31. (So by 2022, Cagayan de Oro City worked hard to finally establish a Human Milk Bank. As of now, the process is still ongoing: construction of the building and the purchasing of equipment

for the Human Milk Bank) In the establishment of the Human Milk Bank, Cabunoc still discourages mothers to depend on milk donations, but to instead practice exclusive nursing or breastfeeding especially when no health concerns are experienced by a mother. “Wala nato gina-encourage atong mga ginikanan nga mangayo og human milk sa atong milk bank. Ato gyud silang gina-encourage nga sila jud mismo ang muhatag og milk, sila ang magpadede sa ilang anak kay mas maayo man gyud to kay kung constant ang pagkuha sa

Bannering inclusive education By: FERLINE D. MANSEGUIAO Teacher I Laguindingan National High School

Around the world, children are excluded from schools where they belong because of disability, race, language, religion, gender, and poverty. But every child has the right to be supported by their parents and community to grow, learn, and develop in the early years, and, upon reaching school age, to go to school and be welcomed and included by teachers and peers alike. When all children, regardless of their differences, are educated together, everyone benefits—this is the cornerstone of inclusive education. Inclusive education means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighborhood schools in age-appropriate, regular classes and are supported to learn, contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school.

Inclusive education is about how we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programs and activities so that all students learn and participate together. Inclusive education is about ensuring access to quality education for all students by effectively meeting their diverse needs in a way that is responsive, accepting, respectful and supportive. Students participate in the education program in a common learning environment with support to diminish and remove barriers and obstacles that may lead to exclusion. Inclusive education is carried out in a common learning environment; that is, an educational setting where students from different backgrounds and with different abilities learn together in an inclusive environment. Common learning environments are

used for the majority of the students’ regular instruction hours and may include classrooms, libraries, gym, performance theatres, music rooms, cafeterias, playgrounds and the local community. A common learning environment is not a place where students with intellectual disabilities or other special needs learn in isolation from their peers.

milk sa breast sa mama, the more milk it will produce. Dapat ikaw nga ginikanan if wala ka’y ginabati, walay mga kakulian, ikaw gyud among gina-encourage nga ikaw mismo ang magpatotoy,” Cabunoc said. (We are not encouraging mothers to ask for human milk in the milk bank. We are encouraging them to nurse their babies, practice exclusive breastfeeding with them because in constant breastfeeding, more milk will be produced. If you are healthy and do not experience any complications in lactating, we encourage you to practice

exclusive breastfeeding) The realization of the human milk bank in CDO was made possible by the CNC and its working committee, including Dr. Stephanie Denise R. Alagadan, who heads the Department of Pediatrics at J.R. Borja General Hospital, consultant Dr. Jessamine Sareno of Maria Reyna Xavier University Hospital, and the City Health Office (CHO) that will train health personnels in collecting milk and how to incubate it, to ensure supply of donated human milk. Right now, aside from the human milk bank, CNC’s prenatal services are persistent,

which are provided for free in 54 health centers. It includes nutrition programs, iron and calcium supplementations, counseling for pregnancy related concerns, and breastfeeding support groups. To further respond to the needs of women, lying-in clinics established, priority lanes for COVID-19 vaccinations are provided to mothers in their third month of pregnancy and to lactating mothers. There are also family planning services, and breastfeeding rooms and adolescent-friendly corners in health facilities. (RLT/ PIA-10)

LGUs urged to grant mandated honoraria for senior citizen leaders By NEF LUCZON, PNA

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC) is appealing to local government units (LGUs) Tuesday to properly grant the honoraria due to the heads of their respective senior citizens’ offices. In a statement, NCSC Commissioner Edwin Espejo issued the appeal amid concerns from several designated heads of the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) in parts of Northern Mindanao. The concern stemmed from reports reaching NCSC that some LGUs had not fully complied with the mandated honoraria, which is equivalent to Salary Grade (SG) 10. Some OSCA heads in the area are reportedly receiving only PHP2,000 a month from their LGUs as honorarium, way below the PHP22,190 pay rate. “That’s a legitimate concern of the OSCAs that needs to be addressed,” Espejo said in a meeting Tuesday with

selected OSCA heads and officials of the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Northern Mindanao (DSWD-10). The honoraria grant equivalent to SG-10 is provided for in Republic Act (RA) 9994 or the “Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010,” which mandates local legislative councils to institutionalize the compensation for OSCA heads. Necitasio Abarquez, OSCA head of Pangantucan town in Bukidnon, noted that LGUs in the area have been implementing different honoraria rates, depending on the budget allotted by the mayors. Most city and municipal councils in the region have failed to come up with the needed legislation even as the law was passed 10 years ago, Abarquez said. “The rates depend mainly on the mayors,” he added. The Bukidnon Federation of Senior Citizens Association Inc. and OSCA League have

STUDENTS face unique mental health challenges in post-pandemic mindset. As we dig deeper, it’s all of the ancillary aspects of the pandemic that students are now bearing the brunt of, especially the economic impacts. As K-12 schools move toward a post-pandemic mindset, experts say mental health supports will have to evolve quickly as students face new anxieties and stressors. According to the latest set of data collected by researchers, students aged 12 to 18 are less concerned about their own health as immunization rates rise and COVID-19 hospitalizations stabilize. But many are still significantly concerned about their family’s welfare in terms of health and fi-

raised such concerns as early as 2018 through a resolution. They urged all city and municipal mayors in the province to “effect the SG-10” honoraria due to the OSCA heads. They also noted that the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia, and the municipalities of Kalilangan and Maramag have complied with the mandated

rate. Espejo said the commission will raise the matter with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines. The DILG can exercise its powers to compel LGUs to comply with the honoraria

rate based on RA 9994 and its implementing rules and regulations, he said. Espejo advised the OSCA heads and senior citizens federations to document their concerns and file proper complaints, if necessary. “Worst case scenario, you can go to the courts like what Mandanas did,” he said.

Espejo was referring to the move of Governors Hermilando Mandanas of Batangas and Enrique Garcia of Bataan seeking a higher LGU share in the computation of the internal revenue allotment. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the petitioners in a landmark decision in 2019. (PNA)

Things are trending in the right direction in terms of negative effects, stress and anxiety. Things are starting to lessen. Youth are more likely to say they were less concerned regarding their own health but more than two thirds or 69 percent remained concerned for the health of others in their household. In fact, family and social stress remain high from a youth perspective.

With the continuing threat of COVID-19, the learners spend a lot of time on their cell phones, texting with friends, interacting on social networking sites like Facebook, playing video games, and surfing the World Wide Web. This situation is a common observation among new learners. What the older generation enjoys in their lives, job, and leisure may not be the same as what the younger generation wants in these times. Planning and implementing the new normal educational policy should be considered because lockdowns and quarantines can make it hard to provide good education.

The student's academic performance is a crucial feature in education. It is considered the pivot around which the entire educational system revolves. Learners learn best when teaching is enhanced by technology such as computers. To connect learners' expertise and knowledge about technolog y use, some educational specialists de vis e a st rateg y for incorporating it into the world of education. Due to technology usage, our educational system is becoming more globally competitive. They pushed a novel method of instruction known as the e-book. An e-book (short for electronic book) is a digital

version of a printed book readable on a desktop computer or an e-Book reader. Unlike a physical book, which has text printed on paper, e-books have text shown on a computer or e-book reader's screen. It is also a digital file containing a body of text and images suitable for distributing electronically and displaying on-screen like a printed book. One of the most valuable interactive learning e-books widely used today is the Kotobee Author, a software program developed by Microsoft. It is a comprehensive e-book builder and EPUB editor ideal for educational, training, and publishing environments. The teacher can create interactive e-books rich in video, audio, 3D, book widgets,

qu e st i ons , and ot he r interactive elements. It has also become the new standard in both education and publishing. A positive impact of the inclusion of interactive learning design has been demonstrated in several studies, thus providing the learners with experiences rich with engagement as they play the touch-based games, answer interactive test questions, and even participate in polls or fe e db ack. Integ rat ing technology such as an interactive e-learning design in education could increase the learners' interest in asynchronous distance learning. Thus, incorporating various technologies into the teaching and learning process can capture learners' attention and satisfaction.

Camiguin enhances traffic, crowd management for ‘Panaad’ 2022 by GABRIEL D. ANDRES

CAMIGUIN--The Provincial Government of Camiguin has established enhanced protocols for crowd control and management of vehicular traffic in preparation for the influx of tourists during the Holy Week season. Provincial Planning Officer Leonides G. Oclarit said heavy vehicular traffic in Benoni Port is commonly observed during the month of April, as people visit the island to observe the annual Holy Week tradition ‘Panaad.’ To reduce congestion and ensure the smooth flow of traffic, Oclarit said Be-

noni Port will follow a ‘first come, first served’ queueing system. Accredited processors of the Benoni Barangay Council will be present onsite to facilitate the queueing system, as well as provide assistance to tourists and visitors. Crowd control and traffic management measures will also be implemented in the observance of the Stations of the Cross at the Walkway to the Old Volcano. Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officer Jejomar Bollozos said designated drop-off and parking areas for both public and private vehicles

have already been identified by the PDRRMC. Emergency response vehicles and tourist assistance booths of the PDRRMC, Camiguin Provincial Health Office (PHO), and the Camiguin Tourism Office will be stationed at the entrance of the walkway. Thus, parking and drop-off at the walkway’s entrance is prohibited, Bollozos said. He also said PDRRMC personnel will conduct a safety inspection at the entrance to ensure a peaceful observance.

BASA BISITA By: CHRISLEIGH AIKO B. PAGLINAWAN Teacher I Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary Education Division of El Salvador City

Reading is fundamental. In fact, it is one of the most significant ingredients of becoming all that you can be. Reading develops your brain, provides a window into the world around you and helps you do better not only in school. Furthermore, reading can not only help the children

of becoming better students, but a better person and this is what Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary School innovates. The school developed a reading program BASA BISITA that would cater all levels of readers. This would cater then on-readers, slow, and readers in frustration level Through constant practice of making reading as a habit and brims with fun, we believe that our learners will become better readers. Who might anticipate that the readers of Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary School today, could become the leaders of tomorrow. The success of BASA BISITA reading program is due to the collab-

orative effort of the teachers, parent volunteers, and SPG. The project will not be possible without their untiring love and support, dedication, optimism, and relentless effort. They have instilled to the learners the significance of reading and how it could affect in our daily lives. They have guided and inspired them to read and prosper to the best of their ability with a heart abounding with willingness to read. Even though we are in the era of gadget and technology BASA BISITA program will encourage the learners to love books rather than gadgets. PSB Elementary School will continuously improve

and make innovations BASA BISITA reading program to be more efficient and effective in developing the reading skills of every learner. Since the school believes that reading skills will help out learners in the future, we help our learners build their future one day at a time. Reading prepared the learners in everyday life and for the future and we all know that reading is a fundamental tool for their success in school and work. It allows them to express thoughts, ideas and emotions and communication with others. Enhancing reading skills in English language among the learners is a challenge that PSB Elementary School would love to overcome. The school aims to help learners to read and comprehend and develop competence in the said language in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The goal

Gamification Using Kahoot: A Digital Game Resource for Learning MELCHIER JHON P. PATOTOY Secondary School Teacher II Ozamiz City National High School Lam-an, Ozamiz City

One of the problems besetting science educators is student engagement. Students are having shorter attention span in classes as they are getting used to engaging in interactive mobile applications. It is vital to consider how teachers could create positive engagement in the classroom using technology and provide a wide array of learning experiences through varying delivery formats that would contribute to increasing the consideration range. It usually preferred different teaching strategies and approaches that could cater to other kinds of bits of intelligence and senses. Thus, it could be safely argued that the ideal learning environment for Generation Z should be less teacher-centered. One way to educate learners was through digital games. They were usually intended to increase learners' desire for competition, goal achievement, and genuine self-expression. This automation

promoted interactivity. It was a new set of rules with a quantifiable result. It could be colorful, as well as appealing, and highly realistic. In the present study, digital games were believed to increase motivation and uplift students' obsession with a competitive level. Digital games have already taken the place of traditional ones due to the significant role of technology in language education. Among those, Kahoot! was an example of a popular game-based Classroom Response System. Introduced in 2013, Kahoot! had become a well-known online game used by instructors as an intriguing tool to check learners’ knowledge. It also increased their involvement in learning. Kahoot! adapted gamification as a way to motivate and involve learners. With Kahoot!, a boring class can turn into an interactive and participative group of students eager to absorb and excel.

Employing the method as a teaching strategy in the classroom would be effective for the students. It could capture the interest and sustain the learners' attention and, most importantly, the learning in Science. Also, it was beneficial on the part of the teacher because it was easy to facilitate the delivery of the lesson. It took time to encode questions on the website of Kahoot! but it could be changed to a new level of teaching. Kahoot! isn't just for the classroom; either you can create interactive presentations and games. Through this method, the students will be benefited, which results in increasing their learning engagement in a particular lesson. Several sectors of education recommend that the gamification method be integrated into the studies in Science classes and other learning areas and the implementation of online distance learning.

me notice the differences between Thailand and the Philippines in terms of the needs of our buyers and sellers, organizational structure, and workingstyle.

results show that most of the analyzed thermal receipts contain BPA (54.7%) or bisphenol-S or BPS (37.7%). Thermal paper receipts might be one of the main exposure sources for BPA/BPS in Asian countries. At present no regulation bans the use of BPA and BPS in thermal paper across the region. During the conference, the WIOEH shared Korea's experiences in addressing EDCs and also discussed ways to cooperate to make Asia safe from environmental hormones. Dr. Kim Won, EDC project leader said: "The WIOEH and neighbor NGOs in Korea have been participating in research, education, and campaign efforts to elevate citizens' awareness on hazardous chemicals in products that are used in our everyday life. The scientific findings made have acted as useful tools to persuade governments to make and strengthen the regulation on toxic chemicals in products." WIOEH strongly believes “when governments tighten regulations and citizens try to improve the environment and lifestyles, we will be able to create a hazardous chemical-free society,” citing Korea’s moves to shift to NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the intestate estate of the late CARLITO LANDICHO PRUDENTE, who died last May 24, 2021 at General Santos Doctors Hospital, General Santos City, left A parcel of untitled property, known as Cadastral Lot No. 2, Block no. 16, situated at Prk. 5, Barangay Simbo, Municipality of Tupi, and Province of South Cotabato.

phthalate-free products. For example, phthalate standards for flooring materials in children's living spaces have been enacted with the recent revision of Korea's Environmental Health Act. FIPIF promoted a project to replace phthalate-containing products such as flooring and wallpaper to reduce environmental hormones in daycare centers. In this process, the WIOEH confirmed that when the flooring material was replaced with a phthalatefree product, the reduction rate of phthalate in indoor dust was 70% and the phthalate metabolite in children's bodies decreased by 30%. Speaking at the conference, Jitka Strakovà, IPEN global researcher, raised the alarm that BPA is still in widespread use and only banned in a few products. “What’s even more concerning is the increasing use of similar bisphenols which add to the threat to human health and the environment,” she said, noting “EDC is a SAICM emerging issue and one of the important calls of IPEN is the need to prioritize eliminating EDCs that affect the most vulnerable, particularly women of childbearing age, the unborn fetus, and children.” SAICM stands for the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management. According to the report, "Plastics, EDCs, and Health" published by the Endocrine Society and IPEN, "EDCs are linked to neurological and behavioral disorders, obesity and metabolic dysfunction, reproductive disorders, and hormone-sensitive cancers," noting that "the production and use of phthalates is a public health concern because several phthalates have been identified as EDCs." Experts have warned that "EDC exposure and effects can occur at very low doses, below an established regulatory threshold," implying "there is likely no 'safe' dose of an EDC." IPEN-affiliated NGOs involved in the EDC project were Gita Pertiwi and Ecological Observation and Wetlands Conservation (Indonesia), Consumers’ Association of Penang (Malaysia), Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability and EcoWaste Coalition (Philippines), Research Centre for Gender, Family and Environment in Development (Vietnam,), Environmental and Social Development Organization (Bangladesh), Center for Public Health and Environmental Development (Nepal), Center for Environmental Justice (Sri Lanka), Toxics Watch Network (Japan), and WIOEH (Korea).

Inflation... from page 6

The rate of price increases in the third month this year rose to 4 percent after being steady at 3 percent in the previous two months. The average inflation in the first quarter of the year stood at 3.4 percent, within the government’s 2-4 percent target band. The MB adjusted last March the central bank’s average inflation projection for this year from 3.7 percent to 4.3 percent, and the 2023 forecast from 3.3 percent to 3.6 percent. With expectations of further acceleration of inflation rate in the coming months due in part to the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which resulted to upticks in prices of oil and other commodities in the international market, Diokno said “the BSP must be prepared to take action to prevent price pressures from broadening and becoming more entrenched, which could translate to second-round effects.” “For this reason, the BSP is keeping a watchful eye on emerging developments to ensure that the monetary policy stance remains in line with our primary mandate of price stability. We’re prepared to take pre-emptive action as needed if inflation expectations become at risk of becoming disanchored,” he said. Diokno reiterated that “the BSP’s decision on monetary policy will remain data-dependent.” “On the timing of the disengagement strategy, I think we’re still on track despite the Russia-Ukraine crisis. We’re still looking at the second half of the year for our normalization strategy,” he said. During the same event, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said the geopolitical issues between Russia and Ukraine “is going to be a drag on our economy.” “But as you know, we are quite well prepared to handle this,” he said. Dominguez said there is no shortage of commodities like fuel, corn, and wheat

despite the Russia-Ukraine war. “It’s actually the anticipation of shortages that are driving up prices. It’s affecting us negatively but we’re confident that since our agriculture production in the Philippines, particularly for our staple food, is constant, especially our rice,” he said. Citing reports from the Department of Agriculture, Dominguez said domestic price production rose and “we have to manage that very well.” While domestic pork supply remains low, he said the Philippines continues to address this by importation without facing any issue because there is no worldwide shortage of pork. With food supply constraints being addressed, Dominguez said food inflation has decelerated compared in the past months. “So, I think the management of the supply is well within our mandate and well-within our capability of doing it. We think that as the year goes on actually, prices of commodities would possibly start moderating downwards,” he added. (PNA)

in the same period. Net inflows of foreign direct investment rebounded by 54.2 percent year-on-year in 2021, with the inflows channeled mostly into manufacturing and utilities sectors. Inflation is forecast to rise to 4.2 percent in 2022 on pressures from higher global oil and commodity prices due to geopolitical tensions. In March, the government issued fuel subsidies and discount vouchers to public transport drivers, farmers, and fisherfolk to help them cope with rising fuel and production costs. Inflation is expected to decelerate to 3.5 percent in 2023 as global commodity prices moderate. (PR)

is concerned his integrity is intact and that is what really matters. And that speaks loudly against Leni and her new recruit Bebot Alvarez. P800-million may be converted to votes but in the case of Alvarez and Robredo this source of evil and betrayal took a bad turn while Lacson is tickled pink.

concluding that in two decades, the sea level will rise by 16 meters or height of a 3-storey building. We have now some 10 million homeless Filipinos. When that happens, the number of homeless Filipinos will be about 35 million. Such will be so horrible and unimaginable. Even Cagayan de Oro City will be under water. How can we provide housing to the homeless when our lands now are massively being converted into plantations through corporate globalization? Why have we allowed our paradise to become a “lost Eden”? Should we now change individually, have a sort of an awakening, so that we can effect social change? It behooves upon all of us to have a little reckoning and revisit the past in the eyes of some social scientists stating that ecological degradation could be traced to the country’s colonial past. For 400 years until 1946, the Philippines had been an outright colony of imperial powers. And since 1946, we have lived as a nation-state sovereign and independent, but so under the overwhelming influence of highly developed countries that have exploited our resources. Thus, when we gained our independence in 1946, the condition and mechanisms of what would give way to the massive plunder of our natural resources were well entrenched in the national structure. It would just then be a matter of time when the beautiful paradise would become a lost Eden. Foreign debt problem further aggravates environmental degradation. The foreign debt incurred by the present dispensation is greater that the foreign debt incurred by the combined debts of the past administrations. Debt servicing alone eats up a significant portion of our national budget. In our frenzy to pay our debt,

we relentlessly exploit our natural resources, i.e., timber exporting denuding our forest, cash exports depending heavily on polluting pesticides and fertilizers, commercial fishing destroying our coral reefs and mine tailings polluting our rivers and bays. With this simple analysis and truism, now please tell me, who among the crop of candidates vying for this or that position, has the political will to effect social transformation for us Filipinos to regain back our ecological integrity, food security and make life better for our poor but struggling people. Following the adage said by former President Bill Clinton while running then for US Presidency, “It is the economy, stupid!” in the same breath do I say, it is not the leader, but the socio-political-economic structure! Only then can we truly say, “Tayo ang simula . . . ng pagbabago.”

One of its most popular pastries, the revel bar is composed of an oatmeal crust that intertwines with chocolate, and topped with streusel.

Phonipino Corporation inaugurates new office in CDO By MARK FRANCISCO

THE economy of Cagayan de Oro City has been moving quite a while lately. Movement of people and products has been vibrant as we transition from a Covid-filled world to one full of immune vaccinated individuals. In the midst of this busy culture lies the equally exciting smaller world of business process outsourcing (BPO). The local BPO industry has been relatively unaffected by the now twoyear-old pandemic thanks to its innate nature as an industry outsourced by companies based in other continents elsewhere. Phonipino Corporation is one of those BPO firms which grew even bigger in 2021. In fact, Phonipino opened its new offices at the third level of HCL Building along Kauswagan Highway, this city just last March 28. Phonipino Corporation

started out in 2010 by couple Jor-El Khalil Inso and the then Marilyn Orbe (now she’s already married to the former) – both ex-call center agents. The BPO business was only manned by the duo minus other manpower but when they rented out a computer shop along Corrales Avenue to be converted as a BPO by night, their North American clientele flourished and they had to hire more agents to meet the

clients’ demands. Through the years and despite the looming pandemic that followed, Phonipino Corporation continued to grow until they were able to secure a more laid-back spot in a building along Kauswagan highway where they are now based. Phonipino Corporation provides Philippine call center service and business process outsourcing at extremely competitive rates. They experienced team supports small and mid-sized businesses whethey they need support daytime, overnight or 24/7 coverage. Phonipino can serve many business segments including retail, wholesale, medical, online, manufacturing, travel, hospitality, health care, not for profit, educational, insurance and financial. All at a price your business can afford.
