By NEF LUCZON
C AG AYA N D E O R O CITY – More “friendship routes” will be opened in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the head of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said after the launch of the Davao-Marawi route for public utility vehicles (PUVs) in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur on Wednesday. During the event, LTFRB chairman, lawyer Martin Delgra III said they are working closely with the BARMM’s Ministr y of Transportation and Communications, and its regional LTFRB offices to establish the identification of the routes. “We have talked initially with (Marawi City) Mayor (Majul) Gandamra about these partnerships, and now we can see that we can already see (heavy) traffic, and it’s not just about (improving) traffics, we are also going to improve the routes (for PUVs),” he said.

MCSD sees schools, BLGUs tie vital for quality education By CLAIRE R. GIGJE
MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur -- Seeing how the education sector is impacted by a strong linkage, Marawi City Schools Division [MCSD] Superintendent Anna Zenaida Unte-Alonto stressed that their convergence with various sectors, particularly the barangay local government units (BLGUs), is vital on the learners’ end. She said it is just proper to strengthen their established partnership with the BLGUs as she believes the schools division will need the aid of its stakeholders considering that it takes a village to educate a child. “It is not only in us that the burden of the delivery of education lies, especially now in the enhancement of school-based management... The BLGUs must go along with us in the journey of the delivery of quality education,” said Alonto.
The superintendent shared that the BLGUs have always been backing their educational endeavors, however, there is still a need to intensify such a connection for more support, including finances and technical skills which are all material to learners’ education more importantly during the light of pandemic now and the opening of the limited faceto-face classes. “We have a very good relation [with the BLGUs] though we need to strengthen for both parties to engage, and know our responsibility and accountability in the development, honing and teaching of our learners especially here in the City Schools Division of Marawi,” said Alonto. As part of the effort to strengthen the tie between the MCSD and the BLGU, The Philippine Air Force Reserve and R784 Honda Click Owners Club led by AW2C Mary Ann Yanez PAFR, vice the first-ever Barangay president, hold a blood donation drive at the Tactical Operations Group (TOG) 10 at barangay Lumbia, Cagayan See SEES, page 10

Davao de Oro 2nd overall most competitive province in Davao Region Behind discomforts are openings for PLGU-Davao de Oro. Even when hardpressed, the province still receives awards as evidence of good governance. Under the leadership of Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy, Davao de Oro remains the 2nd overall most competitive province in Davao Region according to the
Cities and Municipalities Competitive Index (CMCI) of the Department of Trade and Industry Region XI. The award was announced by the Department of Trade and Industry on February 22, 2022, through a virtual ceremony of the 5th Davao Region Competitiveness awarding, where Gov Tyron Uy received the
award from Regional Director Maria Belinda Ambi of DTI XI. Governor Uy thanked DTI for such an award given to the province and to other Local Government Units (LGUs) who work handin-hand towards a goal to improve and lift the lives of the people in Davao Region. “It is good to be com-
petitive in these matters. By working harder and striving for development, we raise the living conditions of our people. Even with the pandemic, we in the Provincial Government of Davao de Oro believe that even crises can be seen and turned into openings and opportunities” said Governor Uy. See COMPETITIVE, page 10

Sinovac COVID vaccine for minors gets the green light in Brazil and Thailand
Health authorities in 2 additional countries prove Sinovac’s safety for 6-17 years old
Aerial shot of Musuan Peak in Maramag, Bukidnon. FDC Misamis Power Corporation and Central Mindanao University signed a memorandum of agreement to develop the area into a man-made forest to help reduce carbon footprint.
FDC Misamis, CMU, kickoff reforestation project
MARAMAG, Bukidnon The Philippines continues to bear the brunt of the effects of climate change. Typhoon Odette, the strongest to hit the country in 2021, has displaced millions of Filipinos in Visayas and Mindanao. Almost 11 million people were affected and incurred billions of damages in various sectors. The rapid intensification of storms is one of the extreme events now more common due to climate change and will make it even more challenging for vulnerable countries like the Philippines. To ensure we stand a chance, the government made a bold commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent in 2030 during the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow last year. Many say such a pledge
is ambitious. But, with the collective efforts of various sectors and growing ecoconsciousness, then maybe it can be fulfilled. FDC Misamis Power Corporation (FDC Misamis) has been an active participant in this challenge by maintaining reforestation projects. “FDC Misamis vigorously partakes in the environmental protection initiatives of the government through its carbon sink management project. We strive to ensure that our tree-growing endeavors are well maintained, protected, and contribute to reducing the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions,” says Kristine Tiziana D. Janolino, the company’s pollution control officer. Its first major project See KICKOFF, page 10
COVID protection for minors 6 to 17 is within reach as the Sinovac COVID vaccine was given the green light for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in Brazil and Thailand which could be the basis for the same EUA in the Philippines. This development can advance the campaigns for pediatric vaccination in the country, allaying parental concerns about their children’s welfare while reducing vaccine hesitancy. Sinovac is also being used for children and adolescents in China, Chile, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries in the region. In a statement at a recent media forum on COVID-19, Enrique Gonzalez, Chairman of the pharmaceutical consortium the IP Biotech Group, explained the consequences of these findings on the current fight against COVID-19. He said, “The medical communities and regulators in several countries have provided data that can assure parents on the safety and efficacy of vaccinating their children. The data will show that Sinovac is indeed a very safe choice for children and teenagers. This supports the notion on
the safety and reliability of inactivated virus vaccines, much like the flu vaccine.” Gonzalez added that the study in Chile, with data gleaned from 1.9 million children aged 6 to 17 years old, also showed that Sinovac’s efficacy is at about 74%. Minors who have contracted COVID-19 but had been vaccinated with Sinovac avoided hospitalizations with an average batting rate of 90%. More importantly, Sinovac’s efficacy in preventing intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalizations and deaths of COVID-19 stands
at 100%. Chile is one of the countries with the highest vaccination rates globally. It approved the EUA of Sinovac for the aforementioned younger age groups who had no underlying health issues in late 2021. Brazil, though their regulatory body Anvisa, and Thailand arrived to a similar decision this month when they too greenlit EUA for Sinovac for the same age group who has no comorbidities. The Sinovac vaccination in Brazil will take two doses, administered
within a gap of 28 days. Pediatric vaccination against COVID-19 has been gaining ground in other countries. In Hong Kong, authorities have started to vaccinate children aged 5 and above starting early January of this year. Prior to this initiative, face-to-face classes in primary schools and kindergartens were temporarily closed to halt mass infection among the kids. In the Philippines, the vaccination for 5 to 11 years old commenced in early February. According See GETS, page 10

AS attested and declared by thousands of concerned scientists and environmentalists, we are now in the state of planetary emergency and Mother Earth called Gaia is now in severe pain. If Gaia is a human being, she has no more lungs (the forests), her veins (the rivers) are either dried up or polluted, her stomach (the oceans) is acidified, her head is bald as the ozone layer is now depleted, the atoms or molecules in her body are almost dead (all the billions of life forms}, be flora or fauna are now extinct. The earth of course will not end, only ours will. As sons and daughters of Gaia, we must pay homage to her for sustaining life, yet, she has been abused, its forests raped, its biodiversity massacred, its agricultural lands poisoned by toxic chemicals, its rivers drying up, its seas acidified and its ozone layer destroyed. We are now in the 22nd year of the 21st century but we are not so certain anymore if we can reach the 22nd century as the earth warms and the oceans rise. Studies have shown that in the next 20 years the sea level globally will rise by
at least six feet high. The Philippines has some 7,100 islands and it is predicted that we will have just some 3,000 islands in less than 30 years. We must now contend with impending disasters – earthquakes, tsunamis, super typhoons, drought and floods – which are becoming more horrible and fatal. Indeed, there is no free meal in nature. After sacrificing Gaia to the altar of greed and profit because of the dominant development paradigm called corporate globalization or neo-liberal capitalism which is anchored on the growth-at-all-cost development strategy, nature is now taking its vengeance. Our accelerating drive towards ecological disasters is further aggravated by the destruction of ecological base that must feed, cloth and house the exponentially growing population. The 10,000 or so inhabitants had grown to 3.3 billion in 1900 after one hundred thousand years but that 3.3 billion has more than doubled to about 7 billion people today after only 100 years. By 2050, there will be some 9.3 billion people on earth, according to the
Orlan R. Ravanera
UN demographers, which is only 28 years from now. Such tremendous increase in world’s population cannot be matched by food production. On the contrary, food production is decreasing because, according to well known scientists, for every one degree Celsius increase in the earth’s temperature, there will be a corresponding 10% decrease in yields of wheat, corn and rice. In fact, many are puzzled no end why in a world that has become abundant, one billion people on earth are hungry, mostly Asians because corporate globalization that is in control of marketing under the regime of one percent of the world’s population. Such is ecologically worsened as the impending occurrence of famine is now predicted as the Himalayan glaciers are melting. As an adverse consequence, it is the fear that Mekong Delta that irrigates millions of hectares of rice lands in India, See LOVE, page 11
Letters from Davao
Spare the PWDs
THE campaign of Partido Reporma in Davao took a bad turn when its President, Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez went berserk, cussing a vice gubernatorial candidate of Hugpong Ng Pagbabago and describing him as a “special and autistic child”. The person he is referring to is De Carlo “Oyo” Uy, who happened to be the President and Chief Operating Officer of a business conglomerate of the Uy brothers. Oyo, as he is popularly known, nurtured the Davao Metro Shuttle which started off with just 90 units that ply between Davao City and Tagum to 400 buses today servicing the Davao Region, Caraga Region, BARMM, and all the way to Eastern Visayas Region. He was also the big boss of Metro Gear Construction Corporation an ISO-certified firm. Definitely, a no small feat compared to Bebot’s political adventurism. Oyo was on top of a business conglomerate for almost 15 years punctuated only when he ran and won as councilor of Tagum City. The young corporate man who was belittled by ex-Speaker Bebot Alvarez as autistic was the Most Outstanding Councilor of Davao Region and was a finalist in the Philippines Most Outstanding Councilor, a search conducted by the Philippines Jaycees in cooperation with then
Sen. Ed Angara. Bebot spewed out his tirade against persons with disability in his closing remarks during the campaign event attended by some 1,000 Partido Reporma members held in Panabo City last week. Davao-based parents with special children aired their contempt against the former Speaker. Persons with disabilities of Davao are not happy with the insults they got from Bebot and might file complaints in CHR and COMELEC. PWD Philippines, a nongovernment organization, dubbed Alvarez’s rant as “an affront to all parents of children with autism”. Despite the public condemnation, however, the event is still running a live stream on the official Facebook page of presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo Lacson. I cannot comprehend why both Lacson and Tito Sotto who were present during the event could countenance this. Alvarez is seeking reelection as a congressman in the 1st District of Davao del Norte. Some of his allies had cut their ties from him when he quit as a member of PDP-Laban and resuscitated the moribund Partido Reporma. He then launched an attack on Pres. Rodrigo R. Duterte calling his government a failure. Among his allies severed their ties with the former House Speaker
Jun Ledesma
were Rep. Alan Dujali of the 2nd District and incumbent Vice Gov. Rey Uy, father of Oyo Uy. VG Rey has filed his candidacy for Mayor of Tagum City under HnP. What worries Bebot is that 20 out of 23 barangay captains of Tagum who supported him in 2019 are no longer batting for him. They have joined HnP of Davao City Mayor and Vice Presidential bet Inday Sara Duterte, who, like her teammate Bongbong Marcos, leads in all surveys. The 1st District of Davao del Norte is composed of Tagum the capital city and five municipalities. The registered voters of the district in 2019 totaled to 301,000 and 154,000 of these are from Tagum. The town of Asuncion with 36,000 electorates is also an HnP bastion. Any way Alvarez looks at these political realities obtaining in the first District there is no escaping the fact that it will be an uphill battle for him. Losing the support of VG Rey Uy and the 20 barangay captains could really make Bebot Alvarez lose his balance but cursing persons See SPARE, page 11

PCOO’s Visayas Media Hub breaks ground in Mandaue City MANDAUE CITY - Visayas will soon have its own government media hub that will cater to tailor fitted news and information for its regions, as Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Martin Andanar led the groundbreaking ceremony this morning. The facility will rise within the 3,000-square meter property of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in Barangay Subangdaku. According to Secretary Andanar, the Visayas Media Hub will serve as the main government broadcast for Central, Eastern, and Western Visayas. “The world-class media hub is part of our vision in the wider PCOO family to ensure that we provide tailored news and information, establish direct connectivity with the public, and bring the government closer to the Bisaya people, especially in preparation for, during times of calamities and disasters, and their aftermath,” he said. The PCOO chief recalled the efforts that they have done in order to improve
the operations not only in the PCOO proper but also that of its attached agencies. He also acknowledged the leadership of the directors and managers who rallied for the improvement of their respective offices. “We have so much catching up to do but we were able to catch up because of good leaders behind it,” he said. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in a video message extended his congratulations to the PCOO for its initiative to modernize the operations of government media. “I welcome the creation of this new facility and stateof -the-art equipment that will push the government’s communications service across the country. I am certain that this hub will be a beacon of excellence as we modernize government media for the improved welfare of our people in the Visayas and the rest of the nation,” he said. The PCOO proper will take the lead in managing and maintaining the facility. Much like the Mindanao Media Hub, VMH
will also house other PCOO attached agencies such as the Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS), Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Philippine News Agency (PNA), and Radio Television Malacañang (RTVM). The construction project has an allotment of P300 million, while another P300 million was secured to procure
state-of-the-art broadcast equipment and facilities. The project was included in the PCOO’s 2022 budget with the support of Senator Christopher “Bong’’ Go. In his message of support, Sen. Go considered the historic infrastructure project as a milestone in the government’s communication operations and services
nationwide. “This is a vital step to increase civic awareness and public participation among Filipinos, especially in the Visayas regions,” he said. Officials who joined the event included Office of the Presidential Adviser to the Visayas (OPAV) Undersecretary Jonjie Gonzales, PCOO Undersecretary Kris
Ablan, PIA Director General Ramon Cualoping III, PBS Director General Giovanni Aportadera, PTV General Manager Kat de Castro, News and Information Bureau Director Virginia Agtay, RTVM Executive Director Assistant Secretary Dennis Wilfred Pabalan and local government officials headed by Mayor Jonas Cortez.
Sabi ko sa kanila, ganito, lahat tayo hindi pwedeng tumanggap galing sa jueteng. At kapag ako ang inyong provincial director ay nalaman ninyo na tumanggap sa jueteng, nandiyan ‘yung flagpole, itali niyo ako diyan, barilin niyo ako,” Lacson recounted. [I talked to my subordinates – the officials, the soldiers, the police. I told them, okay, all of us will not
take anything coming from jueteng. And if you learn that I, as your provincial director, did in fact receive (bribes) from jueteng, you can see the flagpole, tie me over there, shoot me right away.] “Paano ako ngayon matutukso pa para tumanggap sa jueteng? E kung barilin ako ng aking mga pulis, itali ako sa flagpole? [How will I then be tempted to accept jueteng bribes? What if my policemen did shoot me, tie me to the flagpole?” the former soldier and national police chief added. Lacson revealed that “jueteng lords” in Laguna had offered him as much as P1.8 million a month just for his silence on their illegal gambling operations in the province. “Walang gagawin, just look the other way, huwag manghuli—‘yun lang. Alam niyo, kapag kayo ay nagkuwenta—ang ginagawa ko kasi, hindi ako nagkukuwenta, kasi doon kayo matutukso; P1.8-million, sabihin niyo nang P1-million isang
buwan—buwan hindi taon,” the three-term senator said. [I didn’t need to do anything, just look the other way, not arrest anyone – just that. You know, when you count it – what I do is I don’t count, because that’s when you get tempted; at P1.8 million, even if you say at just P1 million a month – a month, not a year (is a lot of money).] “Kung maka-dalawang taon kayo rito, 24 months, ‘di ba? Aba, kung magkukuwenta kayo, medyo malaki-laki. Baka hindi kayo makatulog sa gabi [If you stay here for two years, 24 months, how much is that? My, if you count that, that’s a big amount (P24 million to P43.2 million). You probably won’t be able to sleep at night],” the presidential candidate added.
Lacson recounts how he fought the temptation of corruption UP to this day, Partido Reporma presidential candidate Ping Lacson can’t forget the directive he gave his subordinates as a provincial police chief to shoot him at their camp’s flagpole once they prove he took money from illegal gambling operations like “jueteng.” Lacson recalled this moment in his long career as a public servant when he visited Sta. Cruz, Laguna this week along with running mate Senate President Tito Sotto and their senatorial slate as they continued to woo voters for the May 9 national elections. Among the many mo-
Adjusting to the ‘new normal’ teaching and learning By MARIA ELAINE R. ABAO
Transitioning from classroom teaching to online and modular instruction is a challenge even under the best possible circumstances, let alone as an emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In education, as in the rest of the world, it will take a while to adjust to the “new normal.” Beyond the heartbreak associated with losing the classroom connection between educators and learners, families who depend on their school community for resources and guidance may find themselves feeling adrift. The sudden loss of a “normal” schedule is bound to take a toll on learners and teachers alike. After all, structure helps create a sense of safety and security. While a full return to familiar routines is unlikely in the near future, there are still ways to bring order into our abruptly rearranged lives. However, while we teachers and educators continue
to adjust to the change, they should remember to treat themselves with the same compassion they show to learners and families. By maintaining personal connections, establishing routines, and reimagining timelines, educators can create stability and support for themselves and their learners—including those who belong to the most vulnerable populations. As this is an unprecedented moment in public education, it will take time and effort to adjust to the “new normal.” However, by maintaining personal connections, establishing new routines, reimagining timelines, and providing additional support to vulnerable learners, educators can lead the way. They may not be able to replicate classroom teaching during a pandemic, but they can certainly apply flexibility and fortitude to keep learners learning in the days ahead.

“Please transfer us to Poland for our safety” By JOEL CALAMBA ESCOL Managing Editor
MDNN International News - A TOP OFFICIAL in the Philippines confirmed the other day that there are around 380 accounted workers in Ukraine who are only waiting from the Philippine embassy for help. Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac of the office of Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) said around 100 of these Filipino workers in Ukraine want to be transferred to Poland for their safety. This, as the tension between Ukraine and Russia has escalated into a very dangerous situation, with Russia starting to bombard with missiles vital government military installations in different areas in Ukraine. Cacdac said the Filipino workers in Ukraine have sought help from the Philippine Embassy in nearby Poland to secure their safety from the feared eruption of war between two warring countries in Europe. “Sa bilang po natin 380,

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region. Zelenskyy said Russia was attacking his country’s “military infrastructure” and border guards but urged the citizens not to panic and just stay at their homes. “Ukraine would win,” he assured.

pave way for a major Russian military operation in multiple cities across Ukraine. Putin said the military operation is in response to the “call for help” by Ukrainian separatists in the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. “Russia does not have a goal to occupy Ukraine. But the responsibility for bloodshed lies with the Ukrainian regime,” he said, citing that the move is to “demilitarize” the country and bring those who committed crimes to justice. Putin warned other nations not to interfere or they will face “consequences they have never seen.” “Whoever tries to impede us, let alone create threats for our country and its people, must know that the Russian response will be immediate and lead to the consequences you have never seen in history,” he said, while urging Ukrainian servicemen to “immediately put down arms and go home.” In a statement, the Russian defense ministry said Thursday they are targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure with precision weapons and assured “there is no threat to civilian population.” “Military infrastructure, air defense facilities, military airfields, and aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being disabled with highprecision weapons,” the defense ministry said.

that the military operation against Ukraine targets “the junta” in power in Kyiv. “I wanted to say in conclusion that we aren’t being aggressive against the Ukrainian people, but against the junta that is in power in Kyiv,” Nebenzia said. United States President Joe Biden condemned Russia’s recent move, calling it an “unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces.” After the initial attack, Biden spoke to Zelenskyy and briefed the Ukrainian president on the US and its allies’ planned next steps against Russia, which he said included “severe sanctions.” Biden pledged that the world will “hold Russia accountable.” The European Union (EU) also vowed to hold Russia ‘accountable’ for the ‘unjustified’ attack. “We strongly condemn Russia’s unjustified attack on Ukraine. In these dark hours, our thoughts are with Ukraine and the innocent women, men and children as they face this unprovoked attack and fear for their lives,” said EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. Jens Stoltenberg, secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), also condemned the attack and said NATO allies will meet to address Russia’s latest move. “We stand with the people of Ukraine at this terrible time. NATO will do all it takes to protect and defend allies,” Stoltenberg said.

Ayala Land in expanding its product lines from mainly luxury offerings to more diverse residential portfolio, more accessible commercial spaces, and more sustainable mixed-use and tourism districts. “Our younger companies are already embracing this thinking. ACEN is leading the shift towards a fully renewable portfolio, while conserving and supporting the surrounding communities in its facilities. AC Health continues to be a vital part of the COVID-19 campaign, and also in the advocacy to make healthcare accessible for all. The IFC’s recent investment in Ayala’s first social bond – which is centered around healthcare – is a testament that perhaps we are on the right track in integrating social outcomes and creating value,” he said. Last year, Ayala committed to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, aligning its business strategy with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Ayala is the first Philippine company to make such a commitment. Ayala is also the only Filipino company-member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, an international coalition of businesses aiming to create a world where “more than 9 billion people are able to live well within planetary boundaries, by 2050.” Meanwhile, last year, Zobel was appointed as part of the board of Singaporebased firm Temasek Holdings Ltd. – a global investment company owned by the Singaporean government. He also joined the Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican, a global nonprofit coalition of business and public sector leaders working to build a “more trusted, fair, responsible, dynamic, and sustainable economic system that addresses the needs of people and planet.”

Why it is important to have a social media detox By ERGEL O. TEVES Tingalan Integrated School
Have you ever wanted to take a break from your phone, but find it difficult to resist the urge to constantly check social media? According to studies, around the world, about 3.96 billion people use social media, spending an average of 144 minutes on it every day. From a health perspective, social media is a double-edged sword, says Neha Chaudhary, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. She said that on one hand, it helps us stay connected to each other and combat loneliness, which could be good for our health since studies have shown that social isolation and loneliness can negatively impact health. On the other hand, social media is often associated with cyberbullying, social comparison, and other phenomena that can be detrimental to our health and well-being. However, this doesn’t mean that spending this much time on social media is good for you. Although your work may require you to remain social online during work hours wherein everything is
communicated now in the networking sites, it can be very helpful to detox over the weekend or during a vacation. Moreover, even if you aren’t aware of it, social media brings out your competitive side. This is because the main basis of social media networks such as Facebook is to attract attention to your posts. Each reaction and comment are a measure of how popular a particular post is, which can make you strive to outdo others and even yourself. This type of competitiveness is not healthy, and it can cause anxiety and depression. Take a mental health break by stepping away from social media for a while. Most significantly, with all that is happening around the world, we cannot deny the fact that the social media helps us being keep posted and updated, but if you have been feeling highly anxious, stressed out, or depressed, this is a good time to take a social media detox. It may feel weird at first, but your overall mood should begin to improve as you stay away from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites.

Tech-savvy educators in the ‘new normal’ By STEPHANIE MAE O. BACLIG Igpit Elementary School
The pandemic has been referred to as the biggest educational experiment in history. And it’s not over yet. But already, emerging evidence strongly suggests that teachers and other K-12 educators will continue using technology well after the pandemic recedes. The pandemic has been referred to as the biggest educational experiment in history. And it’s not over yet. But already, emerging evidence strongly suggests that teachers and other K-12 educators will continue using technology well after the pandemic recedes. Although we may not always realize, technology is an integral part of our daily lives. It influences how we communicate, socialize, connect, play and learn. Although the use of technology increases its presence in our daily lives, it would be vital to ensure the presence of technology in the classroom, although now, we are conducting and implementing modular learning. Yet there are still some
schools which delay the use of imminent technology in the classroom, even though it is a valuable learning tool for teachers. More so, as teachers model ethical and responsible online behavior for their colleagues and learners. They teach learners how to protect their privacy and manage their online identity. They engage with families to reduce digital, cultural, and other barriers to learning. Teachers collaborate with their colleagues to design authentic learning experiences for learners. They co-learn with their learners by exploring and experimenting with new digital tools for learning. They use online tools and platforms to engage virtually with experts locally and globally to expand the possibilities for the learners. Also, teachers understand and use data to improve their instruction. They design formative and summative assessments that give learners immediate feedback and give learners a choice in how to demonstrate their learning.
Home-school life balance strategies: Connecting with the learners In the lens of an educator in the ‘new normal’ By MARIA ELAINE R. ABAO
Schools and offices have already been learning and working from home for over years, and others are only just starting this new way of life. It is a time of learning, for reflection and improving and getting better together. The truth of the matter for all of us is that living in isolation is hard and will get harder over time. We will all experience more challenging times together in those weeks ahead and the human spirit of togetherness is what will help us through. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is right at the top of the list for many of us. We have to relate to educate. To better relate, we have to understand where learners are emotionally so that we can connect with them, get them any extra help they might need, and move them forward. You nor I can know or
understand what children have experienced in this time of challenge and upheaval. So, we have to learn how to reach and teach learners who have experienced trauma. We don’t need to know what it is, but we do need to recognize that the trauma is there. In my experience, I’ve found that assuming that learners have experienced trauma or any kind of unpleasant conditions, of some kind is more likely than assuming that they haven’t. With this, teachers around the world are using mood check-ins, emotional temp checks, and other methods for connecting. Even when connecting at a distance instead of in person, we can all benefit from learning some skills to connect with learners on an emotional level, even while delivering classroom instruction.
By BABY JEAN S. FRANCISCO Tingalan Integrated School
When school and modular teaching and learning follow you everywhere, teachers and learners need to learn balance. Additionally, as learners are completing instruction and asking questions 24/7, educators need to know how to balance and set healthy boundaries to continue teaching effectively in the long term. If more educators cannot establish firm home/school life balance strategies, then I sadly predict that we will see many more incredible educators leave the profession. Figuring out how to achieve work-life balance as a teacher is a huge challenge. Teachers enter the profession because they hope to change lives, but they often find that there are obstacles in their path, and the expectations teachers face can seem impossible to live up to. Finding the sweet spot between achievement and work-life balance
can help teachers build a long, happy, and healthy career. As teachers, it’s easy to fixate on small things: the lesson plan that didn’t go quite as well as we had hoped, the assessment that needs tweaking, the email that should go out today. But sometimes you just have to let it go. The earth won’t fall off its axis if you don’t write that email or add that extra lesson on commas to the curriculum tonight. We do our best, but we must recognize that some things are out of our control. Take a deep breath and let it go. Learning how to achieve work-life balance as a teacher—especially in those early years—can be tough. It is, however, absolutely essential for survival. These strategies can ensure that your teaching career is not only impactful, but also healthy and longlasting.

(FVSC) emphasized, “As the country is now focusing on vaccinated children and adolescents, it is important that we provide more choices and proper vaccine access to Filipino families. The vaccine we are introducing has been approved in many other countries with stringent regulatory authorities. We are hoping for similar approval in the Philippines so we can ensure the safety of our youth.”

is a 120-hectare carbon sink management program (CSMP) in Brgy. Sambulawan, El Salvador City. Last year, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Region 10 touted the company for successfully maintaining the area. To further its cause, FDC Misamis recently partnered with the Central Mindanao University (CMU) to develop Musuan Peak in Maramag, Bukidnon, into a man-made forest. Under the initial agreement, FDC Misamis will plant trees on 10-hectares of Musuan Peak with the option of expansion. Known as a center of excellence in forestry, CMU has approximately 100-hectares of land available to host carbon sequestration projects. “The degrading quality of our environment is very evident. We need to come together and face this threat. Our partnership with FDC Misamis is a testament to
CMU’s commitment to take immediate action because it is everyone’s duty to protect the Earth,” says Dr. Jesus Antonio Derije, CMU’s president. Both carbon sinks house endemic and indigenous trees. If properly managed, the projects can significantly reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The project proponents are yet to estimate the areas’ carbon sequestration rate as it depends on many factors such as the growth characteristics of the tree species, the location’s conditions, and the tree’s age, among others. FDC Misamis owns and operates a 405-megawatt thermal baseload power plant in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental, which significantly contributes to the stability of the Mindanao grid. Its parent company, FDC Utilities, Inc. (FDCUI), which is the power and utility arm of the Filinvest Group, is also pursuing the development of sustainable energy projects such as solar, hydropower, biomass, and waste-to-energy projects.

School leadership in this challenging time By JUANALITA P. CABANO
While significant, the COVID-19 pandemic is unlikely to be the last crisis we will face in our lifetime, and it’s not the first time that school leaders have been called upon to lead through times of ambiguity. Challenges faced by school leaders have ranged from rebuilding after environmental disasters through to supporting communities through economic, social and emotional devastation. During these times, school leaders have provided clarity and direction, built resilience and instilled hope as they remained focused on the best possible outcomes for our dear and school communities. It is without a doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has surprised the world in numerous ways. The society has faced drastic shifts in its usual way of life even in the simplest form: social distancing, mask wearing, frequent hand washing, among others. The race towards the development of COVID-19 vaccine may be underway, and as of press time, people are still banking on what has been known in the past, and what are currently experiencing in the present in visualizing the “new normal”. The pan-
demic’s significance remains undefined, as “new normal” surfaces and starts to transpose ways and processes that people previously held. Hence, the need for transformational leadership style among school principals are needed. Good leadership in schools fosters nurturing learning environments that help children grow and develop. To cultivate such an environment, school heads must navigate and promote collaboration across the often-complex network of stakeholders: education authorities, teachers, learners, parents and local communities. In a sense, school heads are the glue that holds everyone together. The additional workload due to the unfamiliar circumstances brought on by the pandemic and the increased collaboration among stakeholders may require school heads to work longer hours than statutory regulations call for (seven to eight hours a day on average). Financial compensation for overtime is not always provided, however, it is always with full joy to serve the learners in Misamis Oriental and of course, it will always be, Para sa Bata at Para sa Bayan.

China, Vietnam, Lao and Cambodia will dry up and will instead be inundated by the rising salty water. When this happens, some 30 million Filipinos will go hungry as we are importing some 2.5 million metric tons of rice annually from these countries. In fact, last year, the Philippines was the biggest rice importer country in the world, bigger than what China is importing with its population of some 1.5 billion Chinese. Ninety-nine percent of our milk needs is also imported, the reason why 85 percent of the Filipino children are malnourished. The 110 million Filipinos need some 15 million metric tons of rice every year. We can only provide some 13 million metric tons, the balance , we import. I believe it is about time to make our country self-reliant on food. It is paradoxical that while we are feeding the world with all kinds of fruits and cash crops, we are importing basic staples to feed our hungry people. This is so because it is the giant agribusiness corporations that own our agriculture, not the farming communities. Indeed, the loss of ecological integrity goes with it our food security. Thus, the pain of Gaia is our very own pain. Thus, it behooves upon all of us to now heal the wounds of Gaia and by doing so, we heal our own wounds. Now let us feel the oneness with nature as we are all inter-connected with all of God’s creation. Be one with nature – that is true love. Thus, we must now together with one voice shout: WE LOVE YOU GAIA! Love is the supreme force in the universe that commands all obedience, the one to cure all illnesses, diseases and viruses because love is that truest light in the universe and never can darkness defeat the light! Let the love-light shines through now as such is the countervailing force against mankind’s collective insanity that has sacrificed Gaia to the alter of greed and profit because of unbridled materialism and consumerism and the denigration of spirituality. We must now regain back our spirituality to connect with the Unseen Being, the Formless, the Eternal! Feel Gaia’s Great Stillness and go to that transcendental dimension of the formless, the great spaciousness deep within, where you can find the “Kingdom of God”!

Arwin Roas, one of the bus drivers present during the event, said there were initially six out of 15 buses prepared for the particular route and they have done road-testing from Davao City, with stopovers in Maramag and Talakag towns in Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro City, and Iligan City. Ruel Pagunsan, MSBTI operations manager, said based on the current rate, fare prices would range from PHP797 to PHP948 spanning around 431 kilometers from Davao City to Marawi City, and a travel time around 10 to 15 hours, based on the standard PUV speed of 80 kilometers per hour. In a video message, Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said the new inter-regional routes will not only achieve mobility and connectivity in the regions but will also spur economies as it will open up commerce and trade in the areas. Meanwhile, Gandamra said the opening of the friendship routes along with the availability of public utility vehicles is a great opportunity to serve the riding public with more accessible, affordable, and convenient public transport. “This does not only connect two cities but it connects different provinces and different regions. It connects economies, industries and most importantly it connects the lives of our constituents,” he said. The other friendship routes launched are Iligan City to Marawi City with 27 Class 2 PUVs operated by Mindanao State University (MSU)-Marawi Iligan Transport Services Corporation, and the

Rights Violation (GCRV) allegedly committed by the NPA. Lt. Vincent Mark C. Maddul, the Civil Military Officer of the army’s Claveria - based 58IB, said that the CHR reports were substantiated by minors who were recruited as NPA combatants. He said that a 16-year-old female minor identified only as “Alias May” told the military that she was then a high school student from Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental when recruited by the NPA to join the insurgency movement with a promise of a brighter future. Maddul said that two days after May surrendered, 12 rebels also surrendered on November 8, 2020 telling the military that eight of them were still minor when they were recruited sometime in 2016. Like May, the 12 surrenderers decided to return to the fold of the law after realizing the indecision, hunger and hardship that they suffered while with the rebel movement, Maddul said. Lt Col Ricky L Canatoy, 58IB Commanding Officer, said that
“the nine surrenderers were considered children involved in armed conflict (CIAC) because they were recruited when they were still below 18 years old an, therefore, minors.” Canatoy said that the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict have been incorporated into our domestic laws and considered it as grave child rights violations. Under the GCRV, the recruitment refers to the compulsory, forced, or voluntary conscription or enlistment of children into the armed group, he said. He said that as an active member of the Technical Working Group (TWG) of the United Nation Country Task Force for Monitoring and Reporting (CTFRM) of grave child rights violations, the CHR X has reported the two cases of GCRV to the Child Rights Center.

reports said they are now recuperating in a hospital in the city. Speaking to reporters, Bona said police personnel responded to a shooting incident in Barangay Rosary Heights 9 at past 10:00pm on Tuesday, which reportedly involved civilians. Based on reports, two unidentified men riding on a motorbike arrived at the area and opened fire at Concepcion and Patagan. Reports said the shootout was allegedly triggered by the non-payment of a Php15,000 cash bet for a Mobile Legends online game. Bona said the men, armed with assault rifles, also opened fire at police officers who responded to the shooting incident. But Bona said they are still verifying the reported non-payment of online bet as the cause of the incident. “That is not confirmed yet,” he said. At least 20 persons were held for questioning after the incident but were later released.

Despite pandemic adversities, DOST-STII rises WITH its theme, “Pinahinog ng Panahon, Pinalakas ng Hamon sa Loob ng 35 Taon,” the Dept. of Science and Technology (DOST) has prevailed over even with the pandemic adversities that came its way in the last two years. The DOST- Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII), boasts of achievements despite the pandemic that struck globally since 2021. “I can say with confidence that in the year 2021, DOST-STII rises and uses its wings to lift higher. DOST-STII rises despite the adversities that happened in the two years of the pandemic. The wings that constantly lift us remain to be our mandate, mission and vision, core values and our people that are willing to serve amidst the crisis and difficulties,” said DOST-STII director, Richard P. Burgos in his speech at the Hotel Sofitel where the celebration of the department’s 35th anniversary was held. Burgos underscored the importance of each employee “who made our pivot to success a seamless process.” “Together we fly high! Let us all celebrate our flight together toward the future of our vision,” he said. DOST passed the ISO (International Organization
for Standardization) while the DOST Internal Audit Service gave the DOST-STII the highest rating among the 25 DOST agencies it had assessed so far. In communicating Science for the People, the DOST has generated 37,558 news stories last year, 110 percent up from 2020, valued at P13.6-billion or more than double from last year’s P6.6-billion. “On social media, we had 6,421 posts, 386 percent up year-on-year and extended our reach to 30-million, 435 percent up from 5.6-million in 2020,” Burgos said confidently. The online reach of the
DOST’s online broadcasts exceeded 76.2-million representing an increase of 78 percent over the previous year. Meanwhile, “Siyensikat,” a science show on CNN, increased the average viewership per minute to as much as 107,000 compared to 83,000 when it initially aired on GMA News TV in 2019. It was also able to achieve an audience reach of 869,000 for the afternoon slot and 768,000 for the morning slot every Saturday and Sunday at 8am and 4pm, respectively.
