CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Misamis Occidental province’s crime volume dropped by 11 percent for the first half of this year.

BOC–Port Subic exceeds June target collection by over 50% By RUBEN VELORIA

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT – The Bureau of Customs (BOC)-Port of Subic again surpassed its target monthly collection by over 50 percent in June, the highest achievement so far this year. Customs District Collector Maritess Martin said on Tuesday her office collected a total of PHP5,208,110,657.38 last month, which is 54 percent or PHP1,1827,161,657.38 higher than its target collection of PHP3,380,949,000. Martin said that the figure is another recordbreaking revenue collection for the Port of Subic which continuously shows excellent performance by surpassing its target collection almost every month.

In May this year, she said the BOC-Port of Subic, exceeded its collection target by 12.93% representing PHP441 million after posting an actual collection of PHP3,851,945,030.60 as against the PHP3,410,903,000 monthly target. Martin said the collection performance is attributed to the improved valuation, intensified enforcement against illegal trade and importations, and improved compliance by traders to customs laws, rules, and regulations. She added that the BOCPort of Subic will further enhance its revenue collection efforts to hit its monthly collection target. (PNA)

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed the construction of two flood control structures along active water channels traversing the town of Floridablanca, this province. The newly-completed projects expected to help mitigate flooding during the rainy season are the slope protection structures along the Porac River in Barangays Valdez and San Jose. DPWH Pampanga 2nd District Engineering Office Engineer Gregorio D. Audea Jr. said on Tuesday an old earth dike along the Barangay Valdez section of Porac River is now improved into a PHP19.59-million revetment wall measuring 124 lineal meters in length.

MDN: Jun 30 & Jul 7, 2022

“This is in addition to the existing 85.77-lineal meter slope protection in the area built in the year 2021. Another segment adjoining these structures is currently under construction and has an approximate length of 346-lineal meters and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of this year,” Audea said in social media post. He said Barangay Valdez is one of the villages in Floridablanca that is usually hit by flooding when the Porac River overflowed. In Barangay San Jose, he said the newly-completed slope protection is 347.52 lineal-meter which is worth PHP29.3 million. Audea said since 2020, the DPWH has been implementing projects that would mitigate flooding along Floridablanca’s major river systems by building flood

control structures deemed important for residents. “The existing, newlycompleted, and underway flood control structures along Floridablanca’s major river system ensure the protection of residents’ lives and properties against inundation come rainy season,” he added. (PNA)

Hints and Traces

What becoming Christlike ultimately involves TO BE truly Christian, we have to see to it that we are becoming more and more “alter Christus,” another Christ. That may sound impossible, and, indeed, it is, if we are to rely only on our human powers. But Christ has given us all the means that would make that condition possible and effectively achievable. We just have to do our part, always activating our faith, which means that we should try our best to know Christ more and more, meditating on his life, teachings and example, and availing of all the means that the Church are providing us these days. We also just have to realize that to be “alter Christus” would ultimately involve having to go through, or at least to have a share in some form, in the very passion and death of Christ, so that we can also share in his resurrection, in his victory over sin and death. The connection between becoming Christ-like and suffering and death is somehow illustrated in that gospel episode where Christ asked his disciples who did the people think he was. Later on, when the correct answer was given by St. Peter, he

proceeded to tell them about his impending passion and death. (cfr. Mk 8, 27-35) We should get what Christ was trying to tell us in this gospel episode. If we want to follow him and to become like him, sharing his very spirit that is intended for us by God, our Creator, we have to learn and even to welcome and love suffering. It’s in suffering that the fullness of love which is the very spirit of Christ is attained. We have to understand this very well. Unless we love the cross, we can never say that we are loving enough. Of course, we have to qualify that assertion. It’s when we love the cross the way God wills it—the way Christ loves it—that we can really say that we are loving as we should, or loving with the fullness of love. We have to be wary of our tendency to limit our loving to ways and forms that give us some benefits alone, be it material, moral or spiritual. While they are also a form of love, they are not yet the fullness of love. They somehow are forms of love that have traces of self-interest. They are not total self-giving, completely rid of self-interest, which is

Roy Cimagala

what true love is. And if they are not corrected, if they are not oriented towards the fullness of love, they can occasion a lot of danger and worse anomalies. Loving the cross the way Christ loved it is the ultimate of love. It is the love that is completely deprived of selfishness. It is total self-giving, full of self-abnegation. St. Paul described this kind of love in Christ when he said: “Though he was in the form of God, Jesus did not count equality with God, a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.” (Phil 2, 6-8) The cross, which is the symbol of all our sinfulness and the death that is the consequence of our sin, has not led God to hate us and to condemn us forever. Rather, it has moved God to love us with a love greater than that of creating us to be his image and likeness.

Kim’s Dream Ending Hunger, Poverty & Oppression

Empowering the Poor & the Oppressed

THE ecological people be they farmers, fisherfolk and the Indigenous Peoples are serving notice to one and all that the only path pf liberation from hunger, poverty and oppression is to harness their collective potentials and to enhance their capabilities to be drawn into the mainstream of development process. Indeed, they are now living in extreme poverty based on the research study of the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural organization, manifesting the truism that in the last decade, agriculture has contributed only 0.2 % to the Gross National Product (GNP). It is also conclusion of the researchstudy that the “rural people are the number one victims of the on-going protracted war brought about by armed struggle and of climate change.” The coastal communities are suffering from the massive destruction of marine and fishery life as 10 of the 13 major bays in the Philippines are already biologically dead as thousands if not billions of tons of top soil have been brought by the rivers to the sea due to massive siltation. We have already lost the 17 million

hectares of natural forest due to massive logging. Our forests were once the “invisible water dam” that were supplying water to the watersheds and to the rivers which we have already lost. Of the 25 major rivers in the country, 15 have already dried-up or polluted. Massive siltation was aggravated by massive open-pit and hydraulic mining operations which were all illegal, the reason why the former DENR Secretary, Gina Lopez had to issue an order to stop open-pit mining which had been revived by her successor. Where are now our beautiful mangroves, the spawning ground of fishery life? Nowhere as 75% have been transformed into area of business activities, tourism and storage facilities of big business. How about our corral reefs? Nowhere as only 5% remain in excellent condition. Our choicest of lands (about 200,000 hectares in Mindanao alone) have been transformed into massive plantations by foreign corporations to supply the consumerist needs of the people in advanced countries while we cannot even produce enough basic sta-

Orlan R. Ravanera

ples (i.e., rice and milk) for our people. These corporations were disallowed to enter Puerto Rico and Costa Rica for causing cancer, the reason why they opted to expand to Mindanao. Indeed, we have lost our ecological integrity and food security as our country is facing threats on climate change and hunger. How do we now counter such grim scenario? It is so amazing to note that no less than the Under Secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry, Hon. Ameenah Fajardo and Staff, together with former Cong. Omar Fajardo, the author of IPRA Law, went around Mindanao to empower the Maranaos, the Indigenous Peoples and the coastal communities. Much to the rejoice of the ecological people, USEC Fajardo presented the roadmap for the thousands of the Indigenous Peoples in Bukidnon to make their ancestral domain productive, to help the Moslems in Wao, Lanao del Sur to shift to sustainable agriculture to achieve food security and to plant giant bamboo and See POOR, page 11

Army seeks CHR probe on use of NPA mines in N. Samar By SARWELL MENIANO

TACLOBAN CITY – The Philippine Army has urged the Commission on Human Rights to investigate the use of anti-personnel mines by the New People’s Army (NPA) in Northern Samar that injured seven soldiers. In a statement released on Wednesday, Col. Perfecto Peñaredondo, commander of the Army’s 803rd Infantry Brigade, condemned the communist terrorist group for its blatant violation of the use of banned explosives. “I urged the community and the local governments to condemn this dastardly act of the NPA terrorists and I also called the attention of the Commission of Hu-

man Rights to investigate these continuous violations of Human Rights, Ottawa Convention, International Humanitarian Law and Republic Act 9851 perpetrated by the NPA in Northern Samar,” Peñaredondo said. On Tuesday, at least seven soldiers were injured when NPA members detonated anti-personnel mines in the upland village of Magsaysay in Mapanas, Northern Samar. Soldiers were patrolling the area when rebels detonated the mines around 6:15 a.m. All soldiers, who suffered multiple injuries, are now in stable condition, according

Xavier Ateneo to establish Historical Preservation Zone CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan (XU) and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) have jointly agreed to establish a Historical Preservation Zone within the main campus of XU comprising school buildings with “exceptional and historical significance.” Following site inspections, the NHCP agreed with University leadership that 8 school buildings will

PH boosts interventions on supply sufficiency, agri productivity MANILA – The Philippine government is committed to ensuring a stable food supply and mitigating the impact of rising commodity prices amid the global energy crisis, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said. As reported by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Tuesday, the country’s headline inflation rate accelerated to 6.1 percent in June 2022 from 5.4 percent in the previous month. This is within the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ forecast range of 5.7 to 6.5 percent for June 2022. “The government must immediately address logistical constraints to complement the government’s Plant, Plant, Plant 2 program. As the country’s inflation rate continues to increase, we must continue fast-tracking our policies to make sure that Filipinos can still travel to work and bring sufficient and healthy food to their tables,” Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said in a statement. Due to faster inflation in meat, fish, vegetables and rice, food inflation remained the main driver of the increase as it further climbed to 6.4 percent from

5.2 percent in May 2022. The Livestock Development and Competitiveness (LDC) Bill is proposed to modernize the livestock, poultry, and corn sectors in the country. Among the major provisions of the LDC Bill is the updating of the corn industry roadmap, along with the establishment of “competitiveness enhancement funds” for the livestock value chain. Meanwhile, non-food inflation was recorded higher at 6 percent in June from 5.6 percent in the previous month. This was primarily driven by transport inflation’s increase to 17.1 percent from 14.6 percent in May, led by volatile international crude oil prices. To mitigate the impact of higher fuel prices among low-income households, the Department of Social Welfare and Development started the distribution of the first tranche of the Targeted Cash Transfer program on July 4, 2022. To help alleviate the burden of high oil prices on qualified tricycle drivers, the Department of the Interior and Local Government announced that over 600,000 qualified tricycle drivers are set to receive

fuel cash subsidies under the Pantawid Pasada Program for Tricycle Drivers. The Libreng Sakay Program for all the passengers of the Edsa bus carousel has been extended until December 2022. The Depar tment of Transportation will implement Libreng Sakay for Students Program LRT-2 and the Philippine National Railways in the first quarter of the school year 20222023, or from Aug. 22, 2022 to Nov. 4, 2022 considering the resumption of face-toface classes. “To further conserve energy and ensure everyone’s safety amidst the rising number of Covid-19 cases, we must also consider the need to promote alternative work arrangements where these have been proven effective and productivity-enhancing, as well as to encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation,” Balisacan said. “In the long term, alternative modes of transportation may alleviate transport fare pressures and reduce the reliance on global fuel. It will also promote greener and more sustainable transportation moving forward,” he added. (PR)

compose the Xavier Ateneo Historical Preservation Zone, namely, the University Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Lucas Hall, Campion Hall, Xavier Hall, Science Center, Old Library, Library Annex, and Museo de Oro (the country’s first folkloric museum). In May 2022, NHCP Chairman Dr Rene R Escalante wrote to XU President Fr Mars Tan SJ, “The NHCP Board of Commis-

sioners appreciates your expression of support to declare portions of Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan campus as a historical site.” The NHCP also formally informed that the Commission will honor XU with a historical marker in 2033 when the university turns 100 years old. XU was established by the Jesuits in 1933 and was the first Ateneo school in the country to be given “university status” (in 1958), making

it also the first university in Mindanao. In response, the Board of Trustees and XU leadership welcomed the NHCP recognition and thanked the Commission for its guidance and support. Fr Mars remarked, “As early as 2014, the XU leadership had already petitioned for a historical marker for the University and we are grateful that NHCP welcomed and encouraged our desire to preserve the heritage structures of the University.”

November 28, 2016 – Performing its mandate to aggregate the common requirements of government, the Procurement Service – Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PS-PhilGEPS), an attached agency of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), signed the Government Fares Agreement (GFA) with Cebu Pacific (CEB) which will take effect by 2017. The signing ceremony was conducted at the Cebu

Pacific Airline Operations Center in Pasay City. This agreement will provide discounted airfares to all official government flights and other benefits such as waiver of fees and additional baggage allowance. Ms. Bingle D. Gutierrez, Executive Director of PSPhilGEPS, said that airline tickets are among the biggest items procured by government each year, with at least P10.3 billion earmarked this year for domestic travel

alone based on the national budget. She also said that the PS-PhilGEPS is working to enrol the flights for next year’s hosting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit meetings under the GFA to cut state expenditures. Executive Director Gutierrez added that the PSPhilGEPS has also started talks with AirAsia Bhd. last week for a similar GFA with the international low-cost airline.

BARMM lawmakers told to continue Davao City tightens measures vs. ASF working amid Palace memo after hog infection

By EDWIN FERNANDEZ

COTABATO CITY – An official of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BTA-BARMM) has directed all members of the regional parliament to continue working amid a Palace memorandum order on presidential appointees or co-terminus personnel. “BTA members of parliament may continue to hold office and discharge their functions beyond June 30, 2022,” BTA Speaker Pangalian Balindong said in his July 4 memorandum to all BTA members. “This office holds that by Republic Act No. 11593, notwithstanding the end of the term of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, all members of the BTA parliament are allowed to continue in office and discharge their official functions, duties, and responsibilities, consistent with the intentions of the law until June 30, 2025,” he said. Balindong added: “This is without prejudice to the constitutionally-granted power of the current President to appoint a new set

of BTA parliament within his term.” Former President Duterte approved the postponement of the BARMM elections to May 2025 by approving Republic Act 11593, which extended the transition period of the fledgling region for three more years or until June 30, 2025. The BARMM transition would have ended on June 30 this year since its formation in 2019. On the same

day, however, Executive Secretary Victor Rodriguez issued Memorandum Circular 1 that generated confusion among BTA members and BARMM legal staff. The MC1 declared as vacant “certain positions in the departments, offices, agencies, and bureaus in the Executive Department” effective noon of June 30, including “all Presidential appointees whose appointments are classified as coterminus.”

2 Zambo City drug-cleared villages get cash reward By TEOFILO GARCIA, JR.

ZAMBOANGA CITY – The city government gave cash rewards to two barangays declared as “drug-cleared” by the Regional Oversight Committee on Barangay Drug Clearing (ROCBDC). Mayor John D alip e handed over Tuesday the checks of PHP50,000 each to the recipient-barangays of Cacao and Calabasa through Barangay chairpersons Erwin Barcelona and Expedito Rebollos Jr., of Cacao and Calabasa, respectively. “I urge all other barangays to exert their best efforts as well to attain the drug-cleared declaration,” Dalipe said as he lauded the two villages for their anti-drug efforts. The panel declared Cacao and Calabasa as drug cleared on April 25 after

the two villages met all the requirements needed by the ROCBDC. Before declaring a barangay as drug cleared, the oversight committee must convene and validate the non-availability of drug

supply in the area and the absence of drug transit activity, clandestine drug laboratories and chemical warehouses, marijuana cultivation sites, drug den, drug pushers, and users. See GET, page 9

But Minister Naguib Sinarimbo, a lawyer, clarified BARMM is not covered by MC1. “We are an autonomous region with an asymmetric relation with the national government,” Sinarimbo said. “The BTA, as the parliament combines the legislative and executive powers of the Bangsamoro government and is not under the executive,” he said. Meanwhile, the regular session of the BTA resumed Tuesday at the BARMM center here.

DAVAO CITY – The City Veterinarian’s Office (CVO) has imposed stricter measures to prevent the resurgence of African Swine Fever (ASF) in the city after a pig butchered in the city’s slaughterhouse came positive for the infection. In a statement Tuesday, Dr. Maria Corazon Sepulveda, assistant CVO surveillance team head, said a pig processed at the Maa slaughterhouse tested positive for ASF during a postmortem inspection on June 20. The examination showed that the hog—traced to Banga, South Cotabato as the point of origin—was infected with the virus. Sepulveda said the ASFpositive slaughtered animal was immediately disposed of as the hog was initially cleared during the antemortem inspection since the virus is difficult to detect in live animals. “There is continuous cleaning and disinfection. We gave them disinfectant, so they can clean their area. And then there’s continuous surveillance and monitoring from our office,” she said. Due to the highly contagious nature of the disease,

Sepulveda said their office is currently conducting daily antemortem and postmortem inspections of hogs and hog carcasses across the city. “Public markets and stockyards are also under strict surveillance and the city’s slaughterhouses, cold storage, and processing plants are closely monitored,” Sepulveda said. Stockyards in Bankerohan public market are currently closed and will be under tight monitoring after a stockyard specimen from the area also tested positive for ASF. S epulveda said this prompted the office to cull all hogs in the establishment and to temporarily close all stockyards in the city. “We need to conduct continuous monitoring in public markets and stockyards although the stockyards in the Bankerohan market are currently shut down,” she said. As a result, CVO has also tightened border inspection of hogs coming into the city. Sepulveda said farmers with commercial hogs coming from areas that have declared ASF outbreaks and from areas that have not been flagged must acquire See TIGHTENS, page 9

NICA director Orduña delivers inspirational message CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - No less than the regional director of National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA10) RD Manuel Orduña delivered an inspirational message at Kiosko Kagawasan in Cagayan de Oro, during the inauguration of Pres Ferdinand “Bongbong Marcos on June 30, 2022. Orduña, in his message, mentioned the substantive achievements of NTF ELCAC in particular, and the Duterte Administration in general in bringing about peace, order and development in the country; and, pointed out the convergence of efforts of all stakeholders in providing services to our people. He called on the audience to as well extend all-out support to the next Administration in its quest for unity, peace and development. He pointed out the convergence of efforts of all stakeholders in providing services to our people.

Part 2 of the program was the symbolic distribution of food packs and other items led by COCPO Director P / Colonel Aaron Mandia. Another resource person during the activity was a former NPA amazon, identified as @ Lala, who narrated her unfortunate experiences inside the CTG, called on the audience to be watchful of their children and protect them from being lured or enticed into joining CTG front organizations. It is worthy to note that for the past few years, this “best practice” of holding Peace Concert and related “convergence activities” of the different stakeholders initiated by COCPO has become the norm during red-letter days. Moreover, there had been no more militant mass actions conducted by members of CTG front organizations in CDO since the implementation of EO70, considering that most of the

key organizers and mobilizers for CTG-instigated mass actions have

Reopening of Face-to-face Classes By: MARY JANE M. BONTUYAN T-I South I-A Central School

Schools throughout the world have been waiting for their children to return to their classes after being physically cut off from one another. The inability to communicate face-to-face has highlighted the value of interpersonal relationships, which are ingrained in education, schools, and the communities they support. One of the school’s greatest assets is that it gives kids opportunities for social growth that are considerably different from what they get in their own families and lets them mature. As schools reopen across the globe, students will likely return to a traditional faceto-face model of education. This transition presents a unique opportunity for schools to think differently and consider ways; to learn to form the fast-few months of remote learning, and look, potentially, to a new normal

of teaching and learning. One of the most important lessons is one of reflection and the capacity to look inward, since students and educators have been forced to work alone. We’ve been asked questions about our own needs and what works best for us, and as a result, we’ve learned to be more adaptive, flexible, and open to change than we ever imagined. The need to be adaptable and acquire new skills has given educators who have resisted change the opportunity to create new ways to engage with their pupils and be creative in their teaching methods. Just as students may thrive in a traditional physical classroom, there will be those whose needs cannot be met. For some students, the move to a more autonomous model of learning afforded by remote or online learning may allow them to thrive.

pecially among the youth, to combat the increasing threat of less harmful, yet more contagious Omicron variants. On Tuesday, the Department of Health (DOH) gave the green light on the booster shots for ages 12 to 17 years old. Former Education secretar y Leonor Briones, meanwhile, assured earlier that vaccination against Covid-19 will not be made mandatory for learners nationwide. Briones also made it clear that for schools to qualify for face-to-face classes, they must comply with measures by the DOH. These include parental consent, DOH health assessment, and the go-signal from the local government unit. As of mid-June, around 38,000 schools nationwide are nominated for face-toface classes. (PNA)

was a Benguet pine tree found in Gueday, Cayapas, Baculongan Norte, Buguias, Benguet. It measures 454 centimeters in circumference and 30.8 meters high. The tree was found and submitted by Jona Cabaling, who received a prize of PHP25,000. The second biggest tree from the same category was in Mt. Mapao, Agawa, Besao, Mt. Province, which has a circumference of 437 centimeters and is 15.24 meters high. The third was in Moling, Cayapas, Baculongan Sur, also in Buguias, Benguet. For the broad-leaved species entries, the biggest were all found in Danglas, Abra province. The biggest discovered and submitted as an entry in the broad-leaf category was a dao tree found in Mt. Sedir in Nagaparan, Danglas, Abra. It has a circumference of 2,000 centimeters and is 35 meters high. In second place was

another dao tree with a circumference of 1,400 centimeters and 30 meters high, while the third place was a pasakla tree with a circumference of 1,400 centimeters and 27 meters high. Based on the contest mechanics, an entry can be a narra, dao, or a white lauan tree which belongs to the broad-leaved species, or a Benguet pine which belongs to the coniferous species of trees. The mechanics specifically said an entry must be naturally growing in the Cordillera and was not planted. The tree must be healthy and without signs of or symptoms of decay or diseases. The contest was to engage the public during the celebration of the environment month and to identify century-old trees. (PNA)

to the military. After the explosion, the eight soldiers who escaped the blast engaged 20 NPA fighters in a 10-minute gun battle. The enemies fled since their firepower is weak. Magsaysay village is about 13 kilometers away from the highway and the farthest community in Mapanas town. It is considered a stronghold of the communist terrorist group after soldiers managed to rid several communities in Northern Samar province of NPA threats. About 30 NPA fighters were sighted in the hinterlands of Magsaysay, identified as the remaining active platoon in the province. The village is a recipient of a PHP63 million road project from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process funded in 2018 but was delayed due to NPA threats. This was the second incident of NPA-detonated mines blast in Northern Samar this year.

Comeback Limited Face to Face Classes KRIS SHERYL P. BURIAS Teacher III San Isidro Elementary School

After missing out on faceto-face classes and meeting new friends for more than a year due to the pandemic, learners once again get to cherish the joys of going to school. In November, students in areas identified low risk for the coronavirus started to return to limited face-to-face classes across the country after 20 months of blended learning. It is a school year unlike any other and the Department of Education, along with other government agencies and partners, made strides in reintroducing face-to-face classes amid the challenges of the pandemic. For Education Secretary Sara Duterte, the pilot run of limited in-person classes, which began on November 15, was “very successful.” Duterte noted the effective implementation of the

in-person classes in all the schools that participated – public, private, and international schools. Consequently, the schools have been able to operate safely during a pandemic, strictly observing health protocols. There were no reports of Covid-19 cases and serious incidents involving learners. Teaching and non-teaching personnel involved in the pilot were also required to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to ensure the learners’ safety. So, we believe that we can proceed, and we thank you for your permission given to the DepEd and the Department of Health as well as the DILG (Department of the Interior and Local Government) to continue the assessment of schools which can be eligible for the expansion of face-toface.

On April 4, a roadside blast planted by the NPA killed two police officers and injured four others in San Miguel, Las Navas town. Peñaredondo said the National Democratic Front (NDF), the self-proclaimed organizational representative of the NPA, should be held liable for not taking efforts to stop the NPA, its armed wing, from its continuing production, stockpile, transport, and use of “crudely manufactured mines.” The practice, according to the official, poses danger to the lives of the people in the communities where they lay the mines. The Communist Party of the Philippines-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines. The Anti-Terrorism Council also formally designated the NDF as a terrorist organization on June 23, 2021, citing it as “an integral and inseparable part” of the CPP-NPA created in April 1973. (PNA)

we are closely monitoring its activity,” he added. Caelian said the provincial government held evacuation drills in La Castellana town and La Carlota City, which have communities at the foot of the volcano. Other local government units with villages near Mt. Kanlaon include the cities of San Carlos and Bago as well as the towns of Moises Padilla and Murcia. Of the 41 volcanic earthquakes monitored earlier, seven were very shallow tornillo signals that could be associated with gas movement along with the fractures within the upper volcanic slopes. Tornillos are low-frequency earthquakes that produce a screw-like pattern on the seismograph. On Monday, Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum Jr. said the increase in seismicity is relative to the previous observations, especially the record of tornillo-type earthquake events. (PNA)

an interview Tuesday. He said the voters who would like to register could also check on the schedule of the satellite registration of their respective municipal election offices so that they no longer have to crowd at the Comelec offices. “The municipal election offices are also conducting satellite or mobile registration so the voters could check for the schedule in their barangays,” he said. The registration that started on July 4 will only be until July 23, 2022. Valera encouraged the public, especially the new voters who are 15 to 18 years old, to take the time to register. Eighteen to 30 years old could also vote for the Barangay officials aside from the SK. Based on the Comelec Antique provincial office data, there were 439 who had registered for both the SK and Barangay election from the 18 municipalities on Monday. (PNA)

The President and CEO of Cebu Pacific, Mr. Lance Gokongwei, stated in his message that “... with this partnership, government offices can purchase airline tickets faster and easier, as CEB is now part of their system of suppliers. We are pleased to contribute to this initiative, making air travel more convenient and accessible to our workforce in the government. We are looking forward to flying more government employees as this will also cultivate financial and economic growth of the different regions and provinces in the Philippines.” The signing ceremony was also graced by DBM Secretary Benjamin Diokno as the keynote speaker. “On a larger scale, this GFA is also seen to promote fair and open competition among the major airlines towards obtaining the best value for money for government agencies,” Sec. Diokno said. In addition, Sec. Diokno expects that the government will save “more than P1 billion” in terms of total discounts and waived fees under the agreement.

Impact of Covid-19 on the life of teachers By RENE BOY G. ROXAS Senior Education Program Specialist DepEd Tangub City Division

WE may be leaving the pandemic phase, but the impacts it has had on children and teens are something that continue with them in and out of the classroom. The results show that the gap between those excelling and those failing continues to get wider. Before COVID-19, English language arts grades showed that about 20% of students needed substantial help. That figure jumped to 24 percent last year. Math is where kids are struggling the most. Math grades have seen the widest impact based on

new numbers, going from 21 percent struggling, to 32 percent who are struggling. Teachers and students said the core classes still have them playing catch-up. The first semester was rough. I couldn’t really focus even. I tried. It’s like a full day, which is like seven hours. If I tried to focus for that long, I was beat by the end of it and your eyes start to strain. Sometimes they would go and try to fall back asleep or, you know, just like, have a little bit more breaks, little more unstructured breaks than what they’re used to

and Abaca in the thousands of hectares of denuded areas to prevent ecological disasters as bamboo is a great water holder and carbon sink. When these unproductive ancestral domain areas will be reclaimed and be planted with rice, corn, root crops and vegetables, no way can hunger loom in these poor barangays where almost all the children are malnourished. Following sustainable integrated farming, these poor farming families will also be capacitated to raise livestock, i.e., raising cattle for dairy production, native chicken and goat raising, The massive planting of giant bamboo will be a great leap forward against climate change. Let us be reminded that Typhoon Sendong that happened on Dec.17, 2011 could be traced to the 200 thousand hectares of denuded areas which was the site of massive logging from the fifties to the nineties by six logging companies. One-inch of rainfall from the 200,000 hectares of denuded areas means one meter upon reaching the 200-hectare urban center of Cagayan de Oro. Ten inches means 10-merter-high of flood water. Are you still wondering why houses were carried by the flood water on top of bridges? Now you know why more than 3,000 died and 11,000 families were rendered homeless? The victims were the poor living in the vulnerable areas especially the children. Where were the illegal loggers and miners? They were well ensconced in their mansions! Were they made accountable? No. Some of them even became mayor, governor and even congressmen Don’t you know that one shipment of logs alone would earn a logger three hundred sixty-million pesos, money that they have used to buy votes or to bribe law enforcers? But the assistance is not just to the Indigenous Peoples and the farmers; Usec Ameenah and Staff also visited the coastal communities who are being evicted because powerful and wealthy families were able to get land titles to the foreshore areas where these fishing families have been residing for more than 50 years. It was a shock to everyone upon seeing the land title which was fraudulently issued as foreshore areas cannot be a subject of a land title. The fishing families in Molugan and Alo, El Salvador had sleepless nights as they were told that they can be evicted anytime. The coastal families who have been living in these foreshore areas for more than 50 years were so puzzled. They asked, is it true in this country no one is above the law; all must bow down to the majesty of the law because we fol-

low the rule of law? But it seems what was followed was the rule of money and power! Perhaps, the newly elected President can verify such fallacies of life. The roadmap to regain fishery and marine life had been narrated clearly by the fishing communities to establish seaweeds, fish cages and “tahong”. As they could not totally depend on the sea, they have gone into alternative livelihood projects such as rice trading, car repair and carpentry. These ecological people have organized themselves into an ecological movement for justice, peace and sustainability with a firm resolve to now achieve food security and to heal the blighted land back to life. Tens of thousands of ecological people in Mindanao are giving a strong statement that THE PEOPLE UNITED CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED!

Presidential Security Group goes beyond the stated mission of protecting the First Family and foreign dignitaries who come to visit with us. What you are guarding is not only the personages of the First Family but you are guarding and keeping safe an institution, the institution of the presidency,” he said in his speech. Marcos said failing to carry out their mission would mean the collapse of the institution which would also put the country in a “dire” situation. “And that is why we only pick the best men and women that we have within our military to join the Presidential Security Group,” he added. He said he looked forward to working with the PSG in the coming months and thanked troopers for “the many valiant efforts in the performance of their duties.” “Each and every one of you has shown undaunted courage and unbridled patriotism by choosing to be of service to our beloved country. With integrity and valor, let us remain united in safeguarding our institutions as it strives to bring about a more secure, peaceful, and dignified life for Filipino people,” he said. Meanwhile, he also congratulated Cabangbang for his extremely “successful tour of duty” as the outgoing PSG commander. “Under his steady and unwavering leadership, the

Thursday, July 7, 2022 PSG was able to provide security for the First Family. I also laud Brigadier General Cabangbang for taking steps towards ensuring the completion of several key PSG facilities including the PSG Station Hospital and the Women’s Auxiliary Corps barracks. The completion of these key infrastructures will certainly help strengthen the PSG. It will also inspire the entire PSG to strive for excellence whatever their position may be,” he said. He also enjoined new PSG Commander, Col. Ramon Zagala to step up to the challenge of being the next leader of the PSG. “I trust that under your leadership, the PSG will be able to continue the excellent provision of security to the Office of the President and the First Family as well as visiting heads of state and diplomats,” he added. Prior to being named new PSG commander, Zagala was spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He also served as commander of the 28th Infantry “Kamagong” Battalion, 10th Infantry (Agila) Division and assistant chief of staff for civil military operations of the 10th Infantry “Agila” Division. Zagala is a graduate of the AFP Training Center Officer Candidate School “Balikatan Class of 12” in 1994. He belongs to a family rich in military tradition spanning three generations–from his grandfather, Col. Ramon Zagala to his father Maj. Gen. Rafael Zagala. He holds a degree in AB Political Science from the De La Salle University in Manila and a Master’s degree in Military and Defense Studies in Australia. (PNA)

Love & Styles at Waterfront By Dr. MARIGEL V.C. WAGNER and MS. JOANNA PACHECO

DAVAO CIY – The threeday event last June 24-26, 2022, at Waterfront Hotel, this city, was a collaboration of conscientious work of tapestries from philanthropic sponsors like Cristina Yip from Love and Styles, Jessie Maloles, Event Director Arnold Larrobis Alvarez, and Renée Salud. The current manager of Waterfront, Mr. Bryan Yves Lasala has been generously supportive throughout the event as he conveyed from his heartfelt speeches and leadership that integrity.

The closed-door press conference on the 1st day of the said event with the initial cutting of ribbon ceremony and introduction of all the participants had made the 1st day of value

as the visit to The House of Hope Foundation for Cancer patients brought tears, songs, prayers and benevolence of finances,
