Patients in Caraga decry Philhealth suspension of BDH B

UTUAN CITY—Patients in many parts of Caraga region decry the state-run health insurer Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Philhealth) for suspending the accreditation of Butuan Doctors Hospital and College (BDHC) saying they are already deprived of utmost medical care of the modern health facility.

The complaining patients, who asked not to be named, contested the allegations of PhilHealth since they were actually treated and admitted, given proper medical attention and care.

“Why is Philhealth depriving the people to use their right for Philhealth coverage with Butuan Doctors Hospital despite the fact that they are doing an excellent job, the patients asked?”

“What happens to people who need the expertise of Butuan Doctors Hospital but can’t claim the Philhealth portion? How can Butuan Sen. Migz Zubiri visited CDO to distribute 200 sacks of rice and 400 tents for families affected by Odette in Cagayan Doctors Hospital provide healthcare for the underde Oro, with Mayor Oscar Moreno on Thursday. photo by gerry lee gorit

privileged people that needs Philhealth coverage?” they added in a joint statement.

The suspension has allegedly cited a consolidated case of 29 counts of claims for non-admitted or nontreated patients and breach of warranties and accreditation.

Philhealth also mentioned performance commitment under sections 151 and 160 of the 2013 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act (RA) 7875, which enacted the Philhealth program as amended by RA 9241 and RA 10606.

The amended RA 9241 already provides universal See DECRY, page 11

A blue Christmas in Siargao but spirit of volunteerism prevails

By ROEL CATOTO, MindaNews

GENERAL LUNA, Siargao Island – It was a blue Christmas for islanders still reeling from the devastation wrought by super typhoon ‘Odette’ but some spent it in a most meaningful way by volunteering to help fellow survivors.

Businessman Jiji Ortiz,

owner of Haole restaurant, suffered depression after ‘Odette’ made its landfall in here on Thursday, December 16.

It did not help that his son Gino, along with his girlfriend, left Siargao for Manila on December 20 to seek the help of relatives

and friends.

He said he “felt said living in a roofless house,” their business shut down, their workers rendered jobless with no other means to survive.

But Jiji did not want to wallow in depression. He volunteered as a driver to help Next Gen For Odette, a See SIARGAO, page 11

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Mayor Michael Gutierrez, of the municipality of Lopez Jaena in Misamis Occidental, died Monday in Manila where he was brought after sustaining a gunshot wound fired by a suspected sniper during a party before Christmas.

Gutierrez’s daughter, municipal board member Andrea “Pinky” Gutierrez, confirmed her father’s passing in a Facebook post.

“You will always be special to me, and no matter where life takes me, I’ll remember you with love,” Andrea wrote. “You will be always be our vice governor, Pa. Rest in Peace, I love you very much,” she added.

Gutierrez was airlifted to Manila on Dec. 24 after a medical operation at the Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro Sr. Medical Center in Ozamiz City.

His family earlier posted that Gutierrez sustained a

gunshot wound in the “left side of the brain” that also “affected the right side of the brain.”

Gutierrez never regained consciousness, his family said.

He and members of the PDP-Laban and Asenso Ozamiz were having a Christmas party at the Working Coffee Building at a gas station in Sitio Pulao, Barangay VII in Tangub on Dec. 22 when the alleged sniper fired towards them.

Police investigator Deony Dale Alviar said a lone gunshot was heard while Gutierrez, Rep. Henry Oaminal (2nd district, Misamis Occidental), and former Oroquieta City Mayor Jason Almonte were enjoying the party.

Oaminal and Almonte sustained minor injuries and were treated in hospitals in Ozamiz City.

She said the arrested suspects are now detained at the San Pedro Police Station.

The local government here banned cockfights last April 2020 when several aficionados got infected with COVID-19 after attending the “Araw ng Davao celebration six-cock derby”

at the New Davao Matina Gallera in March, making it the “ground zero” for the outbreak in Mindanao.

Violators will be held liable for Presidential Decree 1602, which prescribes stiffer penalties for illegal cockfighting, according to Aguilar. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews)

Many times we are really in too much of a hurry while feeling uncomfortable if we notice how time flies.

Yes, my late grandmother was right, when she said: The older you become, the faster time passes by.

My late mother told us the same. Yes, I am 68 now. I can only strongly agree with them.

When I was still a teenager, I was longing to be an adult already. Later, I enjoyed listening to my late grandmother (born 1898!) stories such as “Once upon a time” or “When I was young” from her life yesterday’s life... .

After a couple of years, especially while observing that time really flies like a racket to the moon, I also have the same question in mind: Are the present hours and days less valuable?

Of course, each day has its own set of happiness and trials. But it also holds very high possibilities of how we take the initiative to do or to

move something, if ...! Yes, the luring term IF lets us look into the future with an overblown “glistening” eye: IF I will finish my studies - IF my children become adults - IF I might become rich and win in the lottery, yes IF! And then?

Christmas is gone, if you might read this. The next turn of the year is just around the corner. For most of us it’s time to come to our senses. The future prospects smile at us already. What might the New Year bring us? Is life in the future easier, nicer, more charming and more fulfilled compared to the present or the almost finished 2021?

The thoughts fill me with horror, because tragicomic future visions can easily blur away our present day.

A possible topsy-turvy world of a golden youth tries to let us forget that also the past has had its shares of disappointments, pains, tears, darkness, tricky as well as desperate days...

Klaus Doring

yes, lost days, irretrievable time... .We dream our impossible dreams from last year, this 2021 to the future and vice versa. We forget that between yesterday and tomorrow is our valuable presence. Well, now well then - if we know how to fulfill this period.

I will be taking a short break from many tasks and appointments. I will be trusting in God, because He takes care of me and my future. Don’t allow the daily hectic and stress of this season kill your senses. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter or visit www. germanexpatinthephilippines.blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic. blogspot.com.

Kim’s Dream ABCCA’s Amazing Life of Service

Special Children with Disabilities: Cry No More

It has been said that love is the supreme force in the universe that commands all obedience. When the warmth of that love reached some 70 special children with intelligence and physical disabilities recently during the launching of the Liliane Silonganan Development Program to rehabilitate and capacitate children with disabilities, that love can be likened to a beacon of light amidst the darkness of suffering, a beacon of hope amidst despair.

It was so amazing to see two kindred institutions, the Asian Business Cabletow Cooperative Academy and the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, forging partnership inspired by a vision to establish a Special Center for children with intellectual and physical disabilities and impairments and be able to provide extensive services that will promote development towards maximum functional capacity of these children for them to develop to be self-sufficient, productive and independent.

This trailblazing expression of love and kindness got the full support of no less than His Eminence Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, S.J. and the Rev. Father Macky Ceballos who gave inspirational messages during the launching with the outpourings of Christmas gifts, much to the rejoice of the special children who like angels danced with joy, giving credence to biblical

line of Jesus, “be like children.”

Well, such outpourings of love and kindness may not be a big deal during this Christmas Season but it is a wake-up call. In several Studies by known spiritual leaders, it has been mentioned that the egocentric outlook governing humanity’s mindset has put the people in “sleep state” whose main characteristic is a narrowness of outlook as the people tend to be immersed in a narrow personal world of problems and concerns.

As mentioned in those Studies, “they aren’t particularly interested in other people’s problems, or in social or global issues. Environmental problems, for instance, are too abstract and vague for them to make sense of. They aren’t particularly concerned about global inequality or poverty, or oppression or exploitation within their own countries. Generally, because of their narrow vision, they only become concerned about these issues when they have a direct effect on them – for example, once disruption to weather or systems brings regular floods in their towns or when they (or members of their family) are exploited or oppressed. Otherwise, these issues are too wide for them to comprehend and their personal needs and desires usually take precedence over them.” So difficult for them understand the UN SDG’s term, “Transformative Cooperatives for Peo-

Orlan R. Ravanera

ple, Planet, Prosperity and Peace.” I got all the malign every time I talk about the environment as then Chairman of CDA and advice to better transfer to DENR not knowing that the very essence of cooperativism is one of transformational to advance socially cohesive and ecologically sustainable development to debunk gross inequities under the one percent regime of corporate globalization.

As a transformative cooperative under the amazing leadership of its founder Chairman-CEO, Dr. Soc Anthony del Rosario, ABCCA has set forth its long-term purpose as institution-based and community-based academy. To quote Dr. Soc, “with its technical education programs, its principal purpose is to give access to relevant, practical and quality education for the less privileged students, the out-of-school youth, in order that they may not come anymore to urban areas because quality education must be delivered right at their doorstep.”

With a sense of compassion and altruism, what is so amazing is what Dr. Soc has done in expanding ABCCA’s parameters of engagement in the inclusion of the special children with intellectual and physical disabilities in partnership with the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception See CHILDREN, page 10

Ping: Digitalization to speed up recovery efforts Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson to end the government’s sluggish action on urgent problems through digitalization.

With the damage left

by Typhoon Odette, and as the country continues to face problems on corruption, health and the economy due to the pandemic, there is a need for a quick response from government agencies. But despite modern technology, the government’s response to the country’s urgent problems remains to be slow.

This is the system that Partido Reporma chairman and standardbearer Lacson wants to e n d t h rou g h t h e digitalization of government ser vices.

This will not only eliminate corruption but will also pave the way for effective assistance to the people.

U n d e r L a c s o n’s ‘digital reform’ program, communication infrastructure across t he c ou nt r y w i l l b e expanded to strengthen mobile and inter net

connectivity. There will be interoperability across government agencies and the National ID system database will be organized.

"This will speed up the distribution of aid as well as contact tracing in this pandemic," Lacson said.

The legislator stressed t h at i f g o v e r n m e nt services are digitalized, there will be no human intervention or control of a single individual or organization, which causes corruption.

"To prevent 'red tape' and corruption, let's digitize the transaction with government agencies. The process will be simplified and ‘fixers’ will be avoided if we pay taxes, collect, and submit government application forms, all online,” the legislator said.

In this way, he said, Filipinos can immediately monitor government projec ts — how the people's funds are spent and what the benefits are for everyone.

Delivering Education at the Doorstep of the Learners By: JEANINA L. NADUMA Teacher III Balingasag Central School

The demand for teaching and learning has changed for the School Year 2020-2021 because of the impact of COVID-19. Education institutions, including the Department of Education (DepEd), shifted focus to delivering education remotely through various distance learning delivery modalities (DLDMs). The current efforts of the Department, its schools and workforce, are towards developing learning resources and upskilling and retooling teachers to support the DLDMs adopted by schools. As the learning delivery changes, so do the duties of teachers to their learners and the performance expected of them.

During this pandemic, the learning delivery shifted from face-to-face to distance

learning. Different learning modalities were introduced to suit the needs of the learners.

The Department of Education suggested blended learning modalities, which include printed self-learning modules, Televisionbased Instruction (TVBI), Radio-based Instruction (RBI) and using online platform.

Whatever, mode of learning modalities that is comfortable and accessible to learners, the teachers provide learning resources whether digital or printed just to deliver the education at the doorstep of the learners.

The mantra of DepEd “Sulong Edukalidad” remain the vital objective of the department to continue the quality education despite the menace of COVID 19.

Leading with a Heart JENITH Q. BALSICAS Asst. to the Principal City Central School

Leading with a heart is about putting humanity and compassion to gain commitment and dedication from the team. This leadership style is focused on soft skills or people skills.

But this doesn’t mean that we throw away the head-smart skills of analysis, problem-solving, deadlines, contingency planning, etc. This is about adding and blending more skills like analytical with emotional to become effective in handling unique individuals in different situations. Thus, by tapping into employees’ creativity, initiative, and productivity, the people who work within will be truly remarkable and motivated.

While on the other hand, a leaders’ leadership style will truly depends on the culture, political setup, and context of the organization. It all depends on the character, personality, background, and the way a person views the situation. But then, I

strongly believe in team collaboration, two heads are better than one, and mostly in shared governance because a leader’s attitude and principles greatly influence the journey towards achieving the common goal which can be made possible with good team players.

Peter Economy, known to be the Leadership Guy mentioned the seven (7) remarkably Effective Ways to Lead with a Heart and this includes: Connect work to a mission, Dialogue/Communication, Leave no Employee behind, Work-life Balance, Sharing of resources, Have More Fun, and Believe in the Power of One. Indeed, when you lead with a heart, you will be able to touch the lives of all the people in an organization making them become committed, dedicated, and passionate in achieving the organization’s Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives.

sectors particularly the e c ol o g i c a l p e opl e and younger generation to shift farming from conventional to sustainable agriculture have indeed come of age. Such libe r at i on p at h w i l l g ive meaning to Rabindranath Tagore’s liberating poem eight score years ago, to quote: “Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; where knowledge is free; where the world is not broken down by narrow domestic walls. In that Heaven of Freedom my Father, LET MY PEOPLE AWAKE!” This tandem of helping the special children is indeed in consonance with the biblical line of “helping the least of our brethren.” Such is the raizon d’ etre of this partnership between ABCCA and the Franciscan Sisters based on the truism that when we align two institutions’ will with God’s will, they b ecome agents of t hat divine will. A powerful, transformational energy begins to flow which can help to heal the world now in so much disarray amidst the pandemic and morale collapse. That’s ABCCA’s amazing life of service.

group of volunteers carrying out humanitarian work.

Next Gen for Odette is a group of individuals using their own personal money to help fellow typhoon survivor recover.

The group has been relentless since Day 1, from rescue to relief and now to rehabilitation.

“We were able to mobilize our cars and available equipment for the rescue operations,” Matt Cuadra said.

Next Gen for Odette sponsored chartered flights of Sunlight to bring in relief goods from Manila and on its return, fly stranded tourists to Manila.

On Christmas Day, Ortiz volunteered as a driver to run errands and deliver relief goods such as boxes of banana courtesy of the Tagum Agricultural Development Company, bottles of water, and some construction materials loaded on the truck to Pilar town.

“This is a meaningful Christmas to be with the needy and victims of typhoon,” Cuadra said.

Foreign residents Richard Sharpe, a resident of Pilar, was stuck in Cebu for some work and made it back to Siargao and his family on five days after Odette’s landfall.

Sharpe, who has a dual citizenship (Canadian-Filipino) has been living in the country for 30 years.

His famous fishing lodge in Pilar, Lindum Lodge, suffered 80% damage.

“Siargao is my home and I just want to help people first and once they are okay, we will restore our place,” he said, adding he spent a “most meaningful Christmas.”

Sharpe’s family spent at least half a million pesos to help in the rescue, relief and rehabilitation efforts.

“What we need is food and water and construction materials such as tin sheets, plywood to build makeshift houses. We need chainsaws to make lumber out of those trees that fell down,” he said.

Several local and foreign residents also volunteered giving water to residents in other towns, One of the volunteers is Iago Castro, a Spanish national, who volunteered as a truck driver to deliver water to farflung villages.

Castro was tasked to deliver a thousand liters of water to neighboring areas.

“Awesome deed for the people and we work for the people, muy bien, Adios amigos,” he said. (Roel N. Catoo / MindaNews)

Tzu Chi Foundation, industry leaders collaborate for strategic response to Odette victims Beyond donations, with preparations for future calamities

A

WEEK shy from Christmas, the devastation wrought by super typhoon Odette has leveled large parts of the central and southern Philippines, placing six regions under a state of calamity: Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao and Caraga.

However, the lack of communications within the affected regions and the unpassable roads between the various towns have made the urgent distribution of assistance an enormous challenge. This prompted a call from and for business and NGO leaders to collaborate to get the communities back on their feet, as well as to form strategic responses for future calamities.

Bro. Henry Yunez, Country CEO of the humanitarian organization Buddhist Compassion Tzu Chi Foundation Philippines, welcomed the “chance to connect to these groups.” Referring to the faith on which their group was founded, he added that they welcome volunteers and resources from all sectors because “there is no religion involved in what we are doing.”

Since the clearing of the weather which has allowed volunteers and rescue missions to enter the affected regions, Tzu Chi has visited nine municipalities in Bohol and 15 in Southern Leyte.

They have sent gallons of water and medicines to these provinces, while looking for more generators that can help in pumping. There are plans to distribute rice to around 20,000 families soon after December 26.

Technology and trans-

Digital Pilipinas

Tzu Chi Foundation, Digital Pilipinas, and industry leaders discuss a strategic response to Typhoon Odette victims – and for future calamities.

parency When the Philippines was struck by 2013’s Yolanda, one the strongest typhoons in history, Tzu Chi’s response to the relief operations was considered to be one of the most impactful by civil society and government.

Beyond the collection and transportation of relief goods for the Odette victims, help is also needed for “heavy equipment and the construction side of things,” said Amor Maclang, Digital Pilipinas Convenor.

A more “participative and transparent” collaboration of partners can tap fast-rising technology like fintech, ecommerce, and logistics to “move money faster” to the recipients who need them the most.

Digital Pilipinas, a movement which addresses business and social challenges

through technological adoption, has helped the Tzu Chi Foundation previously “even before Odette, to tech up their organization,” said Maclang. “Most importantly, we can leverage technology to show transparency of where the money is going.”

Tzu Chi Foundation Philippine and Digital Pilipinas’ recent meeting, “Typhoon Odette Relief Briefing and Response Planning,” was attended by industry leaders from the real estate, logistics, construction, financial services, payments, and retail spaces. It encouraged ‘Bayanihan’ and a wholeof-nation, whole-of-society approach towards addressing the situation in the Odettestruck areas.

Cherrie Rose Ang, Admin Senior Officer of Tzu Chi’s Admin and Volunteer Affairs Department, acknowledged that the “meeting is not just for awareness, but for support, cooperation, and unity.”

Days after Odette made nine landfalls across Visayas and Mindanao, Filipinos found themselves staying in temporary shelters or evacuation centers. Ang described the situation their volunteers reported: “Children are going out to the streets to beg for help. People are desperate to salvage whatever items they can get from their ruined houses.”

Various businesses represented in the webinar are already helping out in the relief efforts.

Gladys Pascual, Et-

iqa Head of Strategy and Transformation, said that their program EtiqaCares is supporting the rehabilitation programs. Kim Lato, Founder of Kimstore, is opening their platform to collaborate with the Tzu Chi Foundation to launch a fundraiser. Meanwhile, Coins.PH CEO Nauman Mustafa shared that “instead of buying Christmas gifts for our partners, we will be donating instead.”

Even those struck by Typhoon Odette themselves are organizing relief operations. Roy Miclat, President of 1 Cooperative Insurance System of the Philippines, said that his team is serving “in the remote areas, even though hundreds of our members have been affected

by Odette.”

Long-term solutions Meanwhile, in response to concerns about restoring communications and internet connectivity, Yoly Crisostomo, Globe SVP and Chief Sustainability Officer, said that the telecom giant is “doing what we can to make sure all the provinces struck

by Odette become online and connected again.”

She also pointed out that the increasing threats against climate change will only spur more and stronger typhoons especially for vulnerable countries like the Philippines.

“The challenge of our time is what are we going to do to become better the next time we are faced with the same situation,” Crisostomo

called Project Usher and it enables us to monitor buildings during an earthquake.”

Technology will also be vital not only for the operations in response to Typhoon Odette but for the future.

“We can align all our groups to make technology and our systems relevant,” Georgia Martelino, Philanthropist Lead of Microsoft Philippines, said. “Let us pool our resources and label it as a Tzu Chi platform so people can access it for free.

We can start with digital literacy.”

Leveraging on its worldwide network of volunteers and employees, Tzu Chi Foundation Philippines is aiding in the rehabilitation, recovery, economic, and educational resumption of the areas affected by Typhoon Odette. They involve the

Tzu Chi Foundation

noted.

Miclat agreed that forward-looking activities “should not focus on onetime activities, like donation drives.”

One solution is the collaboration between Coins. ph’s Mustafa and Donna May Lina, Director and Executive Board of the OneLGC Lina Group of Companies.

Both companies will be tokenizing the efforts for tree planting to better encourage Filipinos to take part in the rehabilitation of the environment. With the Lina organization’s expertise in disaster preparedness, they are looking to onboard more people who can become better equipped when the next disaster strikes.

Marco Santos, representing the Mapua University and the Yuchengco group, said that the country can prepare the future architects, engineers, and other professionals with the knowledge to create resilient structures against calamities.

He described it as “producing people who are ready for the job. We produce good engineers. Our first patent is

communities themselves in various operations, which is also a way to provide them temporary sources of income.

“With love in our hearts, there is nothing we cannot overcome. We can come together and build again,” Anton Lim, OIC of Tzu Chi Zamboanga Liaison Office, said.

Maclang affirmed that the collaboration will continue because it not just “about Odette but about humanity.”

There are plans for Tzu Chi, Digital Pilipinas, and the other companies to hold more meetings with more action plans as the situation develops.
