Lanao Sur academe maintains support for COVID-19 vax program

By CLAIRE GIGJE

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur -- As the provincial government of Lanao del Sur and its partners strive to level up their efforts for the implementation of the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 vaccination program, the education sec-

tor conveyed its continuous support to the conduct of relevant initiatives to attain the desirable success.

Mindanao State University (MSU) - Main Campus Presidential Management Staff (PMS) Director Lawyer Mabandes Diron Jr. stated that their university has

been backing this initiative as they noted that among the primary victims of the onslaught of the pandemic are the academic institutions.

He stressed that as they go forth with the face-toface classes and the transition to the new normal,

it is very important that programs such as the vaccination be highlighted with the involvement of all sectors of the society.

“We manifest the sincere cooperation of the Mindanao State University in the propagation of advocacy of understanding the necessity of having vaccines… The effort requires cooperation and coordination because, in the end, this means communal responsibility. No sector of the society can be spared in the implementation and effort of the government in winning against this [pandemic],” said Diron.

The PMS director recalled that as part of their assistance, the university had been the site of the weeklong special vaccination days of the province which kicked off on May 16 and lasted until May 20 this year.

“MSU is one in the drive of fully vaccinating not only 80% but 100% [of the population],” added Diron.

Meanwhile, schools divisions in the province See SUPPORT, page 9

BP2 facilitates return of 515 families to NorMin this year

By NEF LUCZON

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Department of Social Welfare and Development Region-Northern Mindanao (DSWD-10) has received 515 families under the “Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-asa” (BP2) program during the first half of the year.

Rosemarie Conde, DSWD-10 Assistant Director for Operations said during the Cabinet Officers for Regional Development and Security Region 10 (CORDS-10) webcast Saturday night that the most recent dispatch on May 31 was composed of 10 families.

The families were given a PHP50,000 livelihood settlement grant.

BP2 families also get transitory shelter or rental subsidies while waiting for the assessment of their permanent housing assistance.

On May 6, 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Executive Order 114 which institutionalized BP2, with the primary goal of ensuring balanced regional development and equitable distribution of wealth, resources, and opportunities in the countryside.

The program aims to

address overcrowding in Metro Manila, especially among informal settlers, by encouraging return to the provinces.

To coordinate the conduct of BP2-related activities in Northern Mindanao, the Regional Development Council-10 created the Special Balik Probinsya, Bagong

Pag-asa committee.

Conde said BP2 families must comply with the requirements under the program as indicated in a Memorandum of Agreement they signed with DSWD and the local government unit (LGU) where they reside if they want to continue availing of benefits.

LGU and village officials will monitor the families to ensure that the grants were properly spent on their livelihood and welfare.

Lilibeth Domo has returned to Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte with her family after 22 years in Metro Manila.

Her husband lost his job

as a construction worker at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, hence the decision to apply for the BP2 program.

Another beneficiary, Jojie Lapinig, was likewise laid off from construction work in Cavite and decided to go home to Tubod, Lanao del Norte after 18 years. (PNA)

True charity surpasses our human systems

“I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.” (Jn 5,20) Words of Christ that warn us of the danger of self-righteousness as exemplified by the scribes and Pharisees of his time and that undermine the true charity that comes from God who is the very essence of love as fully manifested

by Christ.

We have to understand that this charity surpasses whatever human standard we have about love. This charity is a love without measure, given without calculation, without expecting any return. It just gives and gives, even if along the way it encounters difficulties, rejection, suffering. It embraces them, not flee from them. By its nature, it is given gratuitously.

Love engenders generosity and its relatives: magnanimity, magnificence, compassion, patience, pity, etc. This is the language of love, the currencies it uses. It thinks big, even if the matter involved is small according to human standards. In fact, it’s love that makes small, ordinary things big and special.

That’s in theory. In practice, though, there can be

elements that put limits and conditions to that love.

This can be due to a number of reasons. One of them is because man grows by stages, and his capacity to love also develops in stages.

It goes through a development timeline, much like one’s growth timeline from childhood to adulthood and maturity.

We have to understand that to be able to love, we need to be with God, for God is love. He is the source, pattern and end of love. All our loves here on earth, to be real, have to be inspired by that love that is in God. Otherwise, they are fake.

It stands to reason then that we need to go to him, to pray and meditate on his love—how he created us and endowed us with the best things in life, making us his image and likeness, and in fact children of his.

We need to realize ever deeply that his love goes to the extent of forgiving us for our sins and stupidities, and not only by decreeing things, but by assuming even our sinfulness and dying to it.

We need to feel that love in a very direct and immediate way, which can only be achieved first of all with his grace, but also with our effort. We need to feel that such love is the one

Roy Cimagala

that inspires, directs and energizes our loves here on earth.

So, we really need to spend time entering into this reality, first of all, by praying, by meditating, then by studying the doctrine of our faith, since God’s love is not mere sentiments. It involves truth whose substance is passed on to us through the doctrine revealed and lived by Christ, and now authoritatively taught by the Church.

We need to outgrow our tendency to fall for an unrealistic and sugary understanding of love, so common these days, especially among the young, or worse, associating love with the purely carnal and selfish. Unfortunately, there are many caught in this kind of predicament.

When we have this kind of love, we will spring into action, always with joy and peace. Sadness, feeling lazy and the like are dregs and signs of self-love. God’s love, on the other hand, makes us very alive even in the midst of so much trials and suffering.

Kim’s Dream The Struggle Continues Against Poverty & Social Injustice

New Breed of Freedom Fighters

AS we celebrate Independence Day, we glorify in the thought that after centuries of colonial rule, our heroes had liberated our country from foreign subjugation as indeed there is no greater grandeur sight on earth than a few brave men and women had willingly given up their lives for the people to live with freedom and dignity.

Eight score years or so ago, Dr. Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, among others, became heroes because they dared to respond to the urgent call of the times then by inspiring the people to hit the very core of the problem – colonialism. These nationalistic men had organized the people to wage resistance, trusting in the inherent capability of the people to craft their own destiny. Indeed, nothing could be sweeter in the history of a nation than unfettering the people from external forces who would dare to impose their will as masters subjugating their peons, stripping a nation of its dignity, making a mockery of the people’s ability to govern themselves and craft their own destiny.

No way could such subjugation continue. Such arrogance of having colonial masters dominating a people violated the very essence of a human being for which God created him/ her to be one endowed with intelligence and free-will.

It would only be a matter of time when such cruel societal order would be dismantled by freedom loving people. It was indeed great to be liberated from the tentacles of direct oppression to savor freedom of choosing our leaders, freedom of expression, of seeking redress to grievances, enjoy the freedom of assembly, of privacy, of mobility and what have you.

However, there are conditions which are also limiting, if not depriving, a nation of its liberty. Poverty, gross inequities and social injustices, for example, don’t only strip a nation of its humanity, it imprisons the people to a life of hunger and ignorance. As former US Secretary of State Henry Kissenger would aptly put it, “you deprive one of his right to food and you control his mind.” We may not be concerned anymore with

Orlan R. Ravanera

our freedom OF, (of being a sovereign nation, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, etc.;} it is freedom FROM that we are struggling during these most challenging times.

To liberate the people from the vicious cycle of poverty, from gross inequity in a country where only 200 families control the economy, from social injustices, from massive corruption, from oligarchical control, from violent extremism, from climate change, and from a “big circus” called Philippine politics that zeroin on promoting illusions, body languages and rhetorical messages and the wellfunded candidates almost always win. Liberation from these social wrongs is now the urgent call of the times.

Indeed, a nation-state may be independent in form but not in substance as it may be under the overwhelming influence of another, in more ways than one, as to make it in effect, not absolutely independent.

Floods due to typhoons have destroyed properties and even caused the loss of lives. Climate change has always been the outcry of these unfortunate events. But we little did we know that it was aggravated by even worse- the undisposed garbage or rubbish thrown anywhere. True to the hashtag # second home, the schools took the responsibility to teach student about loving the environment by panting it green. Activities such as Clean-Up Drive, Tree Planting and even Schoolwide Search for the Most Clean and Green Classroom were implemented to restore

the clean environment of schools. Despite rigorous efforts, the problem on the garbage still exists. With the city-wide banning of plastics, was reduced. The schools too adopted the “No Plastic policy in the campus. The school administrators, students, parents, canteen operators, tenants cooperated with the school principal and city mayor ‘s advocacy of a clean and green community.

With concerted efforts to reduce plastics, most of the schools now become not only child-friendly institution but it fully transformed into haven of peace as well.

message through his office.

In his message, he acknowledged the lessons that could be learned from the past, but reminded Filipinos to give as much importance to the present. “ The shared narra-

tive that we have weaved throughout history has never ceased in teaching us what values to hold and which lessons to remember.

While we draw strength from learning our past, we must continue believing that there is still wisdom to be gained from our present choices, decisions and

actions so we can shape a better future for our people,” he said.

Duterte also emphasized that in nation-building, liberties are there to make people “wiser and not to prove that we are always right or better.”

“Even in exercising our most cherished freedoms,

our differences can move us to engage in healthy yet meaningful discourse without sowing hatred and division, as well as push our country towards the right direction,” he added.

He reiterated his call for Filipinos to join hands and work together for the benefit of the country and

Being a grade leader in school

By CECILIA A. ARREGLO ALAWI Teacher I Lumbia National High School

PRACTICALLY, leading grade school literally means capturing the hearts and minds of the teaching staff. This educational task maybe even simplified given a school leader who possesses distinctive charisma and has definite control over himself, his works and subordinates including those unwelcome events in the workplace and in life.

Leadership is a process of interaction between leaders and subordinates where the former attempts to influence the behavior of his subordinates to accomplish organizational goals.

An important role in coordinating and fulfilling

the varied tasks of education belongs to the grade leader as the organizer of teaching and social education work in each grade. Set a strong tone by building culture early I the summer.

Plus there are other bits of work to thoughtfully build relationships with families, students and other school leaders each week. After all, it isn’t just always about efficiency.

I get how challenging it can be. Leading as a teacher is the best and worst of both worlds. You are now leading both students and adults and pulled in both directions constantly. But it can also be twice as rewarding.

Grade 1 learners engagement in online learning environment

By JALCEMAE P. BAQUILID, Ph.D Teacher III Consolacion Elementary School

IN bootcamps, learners apply new content knowledge to practice problems, code reviews, and group project work.

The platform supports this collaborative work, finding the platform provided critical elements not available through other tools. The bootcamp provider can foster personalized, small group coaching around programming and code review to ensure active learning and real-time feedback. The platform’s ability to deliver collaborative and instructor-assisted support to synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, as well as to learners with low internet bandwidth or older machines, aligns with the goal of bringing engaging tech education to a wide audience.

Online classrooms focus on providing students with

collaborative workspaces that mirror in-person classrooms.

The table model allows larger class sizes to have the same degree of student attention with the added benefit of participation measurement.

Students can be placed into smaller groups of up to 10 where they can work and learn collaboratively, discuss solutions to problems, and program together in a shared environment. Instructors can “walk around” and provide feedback to each group as they would have in-person prior to COVID. Native engagement tools, such as quizzes and polls, provide real-time student comprehension, along with feedback mechanisms including emojis to determine if students in the class are engaged and understand the content.

This year’s celebration bears the theme “Kalayaan 2022: Pagsuong sa Hamon ng Panibagong Bukas” (Rise Towards the Challenge of a New Beginning).

Various government of-

The country’s first president, Emilio Aguinaldo, proclaimed the Philippines’ independence from the Spanish colonial rule in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898.

From 1946 to 1961, the Philippines celebrated Independence Day every July 4. However, it was moved to June 12 by virtue Proclamation No. 28, series of 1962, of President Diosdado Macapagal. In 1964, Congress passed Republic Act 4166 formally designating June 12 of every

KNHS Highlights at the peak of pandemic (Optimism beyond time) LUVILLA D. GAOIRAN Kauswagan NHS Teacher I

The pandemic has brought many challenging break through not just in the field of healthcare and services but across other fields in the government.

It has reached its effects in the education sector as well. Classes have been suspended until further noticed.

Students were not able to participate in face to face classes. Teachers were given additional task in delivering education to learners in this very challenging times. In spite of the situation that the world is facing nowadays, the government does not fail.

The Department of Education still deliver relevant and quality education in this time of pandemic.

Recently, Kauswagan NHS has received a new school site that will serve as a ground suitable for students learning and training. The school prepares individuals that are the best version of themselves who imbedded the Filipino roots and heritage.

The recently turned-over 48 classroom 4 story building is situated at the heart of Barangay Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City. It is located near Kauswagan Barangay Council the site has made

possible by the partnership and collaboration of both the Department of Education and Local School Board of Cagayan de Oro City. Each Classroom features with a complete amenity such as wide and 2 way safe doors, glass windows suitable for good ventilation even in various weather occurrence.

It also has its own comfort rooms so students can’t go outside during their classes when they have the need to use.

With the growing Kauswagan NHS learners’ population of about almost 2,000 learners, ranging from Grade 7 Junior High School level to Grade 10 Junior High School level and Senior High School Department. It is indeed a blessing to be able to receive and utilize this new facility that the government provided. It enables an environment that promotes and uphold outmost quality of standard outcomes from learners. Education is the tool that best combat poverty and illiteracy, it is a life-long investment that eradicates isolation to the community and to the bigger challenges of the world. Lets invest more in education itself.

A Teacher Mom

By: FE SLEM- GUZMAN, SST-III Pedro “Oloy” N. Roa Sr. High School

There is no easy task.

Every task comes in unique package and if you are lucky you can be a teacher and a mom. The level of passion, the greatness of love and the vast attention can all be both juggled by a teacher who is also a mom.

Teachers burned the midnight candle in the preparation of IM’s and DLL’s while doing motherly duties to a toddler or to a sick child…

While hosting the Reading of Honors as adviser to a group of honorees, one’s honor child receives his certificate with no parent in sight. While the teacher mom tries her best to teach and does intervention so no child is left behind, her own child earns zero for every unanswered task.

The teacher plays a very complicated role and when she becomes a mother, this

role may overlap; thus, one role is robbed off by the other.

When a teacher focuses more of being a teacher than a mom, she may lose the affection of her children forever.

When she concentrates to being a mom than a teacher, she might lose her job. The balancing of the two exquisite roles and functions is a herculean attempt. You may be an outstanding teacher but never an outstanding mom. It is a matter of balance. Knowing priorities and being in a dilemma when both roles require our time and our entire self and when we do offer such, we tend to lose ourselves. It is either we waive being a good teacher or postpone being a good mother. The balancing is a challenge but when the going gets tough, always trust where your heart desires.

Essentials of leadership in education

By ELEONOR AWITIN-BADAJOS Teacher II Bugo Central School

FOR teachers and school administrators to effectively complete their mission of educating students, they must be able to lead more than just a classroom lesson. The educators of today must develop the leadership skills to direct organizational change and craft cooperative agreements with other stakeholders.

Educational leaders must practice critical thinking, empathy, collaboration and flexibility in a variety of work environments and with a variety of people in order to engage, lead and effect change in a meaningful way.

People normally think of educational leaders as principals, superintendents and higher education thought leaders in our schools, com-

munities and even businesses.

However, educational leadership exists outside of the classroom too whenever someone in a position of influence works to guide teachers, students, parents or policymakers toward a common education-related goal.

A personal commitment to lifelong learning is vital to succeeding in an educational or organizational leadership role. A lifelong learner is someone who understands that learning is a continuous process and someone who is going to bring their context into that experience. Making lifelong learning a personal priority gives educational leaders the authenticity to share its value to others.

MICROSOFT and education ministries across Asia enable remote learning for millions of students during this time of COVID-19. Since the onset of the pandemic early this year, education ministries across Asia have pushed for mass migrations online with the help of Microsoft Teams, Office 365 and Microsoft Azure – enabling millions of students to continue to learn from home. Beyond ensuring lesson continuity, schools have been facilitating real time interactivity between teachers and students in class while enabling students to discover, create and share.

Finding and deploying the right tools quickly was instrumental in managing the seismic shift in the education landscape caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Philippines, the executive committee of DepEd moved quickly to train teachers and educators in more supervisory levels. Secretary Briones herself used Microsoft Teams to hold a meeting with 17 regional offices, addressing critical issues faced by teachers and students. The

industry was kept connected via weekly ask the Expert sessions for officials as well as TeamsTalk, a bi-weekly online meetup for teachers to catch up and solicit advice from one another.

When the COVID-19 virus reached pandemic levels and shuttering schools the world over, it left educators facing a massive challenge: how to keep students learning and engaged without the face to face closeness and comfortable daily routine of a classroom? In a time when we are relying on technology to support learning more and more, the heroism of the educators using it has never been clearer or more needed.

Designed to help you achieve more with innovative Office apps, intelligent cloud services and worldclass security, Microsoft 365 is your productivity cloud across work and life. On top of that, Microsoft Learning Tools are free tools that implement proven techniques to improve reading and writing for learners regardless of their age or ability.

REVISITING LEARNERS IN THE NEW NORMAL SOWAIRA D. LUCMAN Macabalan Elementary School

COVID19 outbreak has made changes in the educational system all over the world. It compelled many universities and colleges to switch to online deliveries and forced elementary and secondary schools to adopt the new learning delivery modalities. In the elementary level, the teachers’ creativity and resourcefulness were tested as to how they implement the chosen modality in the most effective way. For the online class teachers, their ability to utilize technology was tested as they explore the digital world to prepare video lessons and clips for their bichronous class. For those who are handling modular classes, their ability to convince parents to regularly pick-up and return modules is the greatest challenge. But let us walk through the distant learners at home? What have they done? Are they comfortable with the chosen modality?

Learners in the new normal need to adapt what changes bring to their life.

Bichronous Learners struggle to engage in online learning especially when the internet connection is at risk, trying to understand the topic presented online by their teachers, finding hard to ask questions because there is still what we call “communication gap” not like in face-to-face wherein they can ask immediately and be given answers on the spot, having hard time complying

their asynchronous lessons due to technical problems and most especially losing their moments with peers as they only see each other in the digital space.Though technology replaces more aspects in our lives but still each and everyone’s presence is the best company especially to kids like them.

For the learners who preferred the modular distance learning, their challenges lie in the fact that their parents can not replace their teachers normally. The struggle in answering the modules without enough background of the topic discussed, how they manage their time answering modules at the same time tending household chores since they are at home. Others may struggling from frustration, sadness and anxiety since they are deprived with lots of things.

Both the bichronous and modular distance learners struggle to adapt to the new normal. The two years were still an adjustment process though they are finding comfort in their new norm.

The school year ends and though it seems the outbreak has made everything changed but everyone is looking forward to having the normal face-to-face classes which have already started by pilot selection. The normal faceto-face classes which children really long to be back after COVID19 had eaten-up most of their lives in school.

Maguindanao ex-gov’t worker, “Kanlungan” CDONHS-JH ANNUAL pal nabbed in drug sting op SPA RECITAL 2022

By EDWIN FERNANDEZ

COTABATO CIT Y – A former local government employee in Maguindanao and his companion, both former drug personalities who surrendered to authorities in 2019, were arrested during a drug sting, an official said Monday.

Director Rogelito Daculla of Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) identified the suspects as Tapia Malingco, 41; and Jhon Jickery Malingco Ayunan, 29; both of Pagalungan, Maguindanao.

Daculla said the two were arrested after they sold shabu to a PDEA agent disguised as a buyer at 5 p.m. Sunday in Barangay Poblacion, Pagalungan.

“Tapia, a former LGU employee, and Ayunan, both voluntarily surrendered to authorities due to their involvement in illegal drugs some two years ago,”

Daculla said.

Seized from them were PHP102,000 worth of shabu, the buy-bust money, identification cards, two mobile phones, a Tomahawk shotgun, a magazine assembly, three pieces of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, and a wallet.

The suspects were charged with the violation of Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 200) and R.A. 10591 (Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act).

The arrest of Malingco and Ayunan came after the June 9 anti-drug operation in Maguing, Lanao del Sur, which also led to the arrest of three suspects and the seizure of over PHP10 million worth of shabu drugs.

Arrested in the operation were Faiza Hadjiraof, and couple Amersab Ebra Macabato and Raifa Hadji Rasul Rakim, all of Maguing town. (PNA)

Capturing the Elusive Peace By: FE SLEM- GUZMAN, SST-III Pedro “Oloy” N. Roa Sr. High School

Peace. It is a condition where an individual enjoy friendly relations with others, untroubled by disputes.

It is also a state where man is free from noise, worries, troubles, fears, war and fights.

A familiar word, but remains a strange condition. The people, the nations and the whole world are all, but wanting and longing for peace.

We need peace. It becomes an ultimate goal way back from the days of yore to the contemporary world of today.

The longing and the search have been wearisome for we’ve been waiting for something not doomed to come. Early people tried to achieve peace but then more wars, worse than even are born. War of the tribe against tribe, city against city, dynasty against dynasty, kingdom against kingdom, empire against empire, nation against nation until the first world war roared the earth and seconded by the more devastating World War II. Even though peace keeping

organized have at least managed to prevent war, still we fail to achieve peace in the very sense of the world. War continues killing thousands in a single strike. Now the chance for becoming smaller everyday. There will come a day when it becomes a dream far from reality.

We need peace very much, but it’s nowhere to be found.

But how can we achieve world peace when there’s no peace within us? W are at war with ourselves, daily battling between good and evil. What we are to curtail is the literal war but little did we know that it rooted from the war within ourselves. To solve the war may not be the starting point, rather let us first learn to discipline and tame ourselves so we can lessen the war that hurdles us. The seed peace must be planted within and the let it grow in us.

If we cannot stop our own war, then there’s no way out for peace to truly exist.

Face to face

By ISABELO N. JAGAPE Jr. Teacher I Hubangon Elementary School

MOST Filipinos remain hesitant about the return of face-to-face classes this year.

This comes after the Department of Education announced in February the expansion of face-to-face classes in areas under Alert Levels 1 and 2.

Around 25 percent were either negative or very negative about students returning to in-person learning.

Of the respondents, 17.6 percent were neutral while 62 percent were either positive or very positive on the return of face-to-face classes.

Conversely, around 73 percent of the respondents said they are more positive about returning to their offices after the pandemic, as opposed to 16 percent who are neutral and only ten

percent who are negative or very negative.

Most parents remain hesitant to send their children back to school because the Covid-19 pediatric vaccination only began more recently.

As working parents readjust to the resumption of on-site work, it could be difficult for them to look after their children with the same focus that they had when they were working from home.

It was ‘understandable’ for parents to want their children to stay at home as they are at much more at risk from Covid-19.

Workplaces can help employees adjust to the demands of the new normal by maintaining the same flexibility that they adopted during the onset of the pandemic.

Music Vocals and Instruments performance, composed of Grade 7 - 10 SPA students of Cagayan de Oro National High School, Junior High Cagayan de Oro National High School-Junior High Special Program in the Arts (CDONHS-JH SPA) successfully conducted the 7th Annual SPA Recital entitled: “Kanlungan”, on April 29, 2022, via FB-LIVE of Cagayan de Oro National High-Junior High School Facebook Page.

It’s always been a concerted effort of all the teacher-specialists and the students of CDONHS-JH Special Program in the Arts to perform an annual SPA Recital. This year’s presentation is “Kanlungan”.

“Kanlungan” was written and directed by Ms. Sahira D. Mapandi (Creative Writing specialist) and Mrs. Melane P. Pacudan (Dance Arts specialist) respectively, together with the teacher-specialists Jamie Kristina V. Rojas and Lady Mae M. Jayme (MusicVocals), Jame M. Hernane and James Jerome B. Pequiro (Music-Instruments), Rima Aissa Amor B. Cabala (Visual Arts), Shera May L. Gochuo (Theater Arts), Farrah Alvie F. Ablanque (Dance Arts), Bismark Labadan and Krista Mari M. Llenas (Media Arts) and with the allout support and love of the Secondary School Principal I Dr. Norma B. Delima.

Unlike from the previous shows by the school, Kanlungan is performed virtually due the unanticipated existence of the covid-19 pandemic which afflicted the world, the country, and the school. Lockdowns were immediately implemented; strict restrictions need

to be followed to avoid contacting the highly contagious virus. This has greatly affected the school and the student’s learning development.

According to Gerhard Richter “Art is the highest form of Hope”. The story of hope and inspiration has emerged through dedication, passion, and giving back to the school that serves as our home and comfort.

Teaching the young artists in this pandemic is very challenging. There are inherent, some disturbing, some filled with hope for a better tomorrow but with the heart to teach everything are on the right track.

Melane Pacudan, the coordinator said, “The expertise of the SPA teacher-specialists molded the skills and talents of the SPA students to be competent in the field of arts they are inclined. “ She said that the dedication of every child to have the self-discipline to strive of becoming better every day recapitulate the best performance they can showcase to the community.

We continue to pursue our connection to flourish the potentials and skills of our young artists filled with hope for a promising future., she added.

“Kanlungan” will somehow inspire us to move forward for a better tomorrow.

The CDONHS-JH SPA annual has always been a concerted effort of all the teacher-specialists in Special SPA.

Changing rules teachers in new normal education

By Ma. ROSE MONTEJO PIOQUINTO Teacher I

THE pandemic is the largest disruption of education in history. But research has identified ways to help children make up lost ground.

Will they work in classrooms around the world?

Due to one of the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world, limited in-person teaching in the Philippines only resumed in late 2021, 20 months since the start of pandemic restrictions in March 2020. More than 27 million children have been out of school. DepEd was only able to allow 100 public schools to take part in its pilot run of face to face

classes in November 2021.

Only 5,00 students went back to the physical classroom.

However, with the current wave of Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron variant still being managed, in-person classes have been disrupted again. The Philippine national government has no choice but to continue to rely on remote learning. This has set the Philippines back in attaining the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: quality education which aims to achieve inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong educational opportunities for all.

“Face-to-Face Classes Pros” By: RONIELYN A. REYES

COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis all over the world. In the field of education, this emergency has led to the massive closure of face-toface activities of educational institutions in order to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. It has changed how learners learn. And this time, the Department of Education allows limited face-to-face modality where most of the learners got delighted.

Face-to-face education is the most traditional type of learning instruction. It is the most common instructional method in which learning materials are taught in person. With this, many tools has been involved to ensure the best learning process and results positively for students. Teachers and even

parents can attest how better is learning on physical classes. This is because of the real-world examples that can be discussed or shared. Even when face-to-face classes are time-bounded and activities are most of the time completed within the subject’s time , learners have to make use of that time no matter how limited it is.

This traditional type of learning instruction helps the students concentrate harder on their learning because there will be less distraction than if they were at home.

They can gain greater understanding on real-world examples from teachers and with other students. They will have the opportunity to connect, problem-solve, and network with other students from a wide range of backgrounds.

Education in the New Normal Era by : EILEEN MAY E. FUDAN

In the past two years, Covid -19 affects different people in different ways. We experienced lockdowns because of the threat of the Covid-19 virus. The schools are temporary closed and experiencing education crisis due to pandemic.

With the continuous support and initiative, the Department of Education (DepEd) was given the next priority of the government on how to deliver education in the New Normal Era beyond the pandemic to help all Filipino children continue their studies and fulfill their dreams despite the pandemic crisis that still arises in the country. The Department of Education (DepEd) provided alternatives for distance learning in the K – 12 Curriculum Program. One of the methods in distance learning are the Modular Distance Learning Delivery Instruction and Online Distance Learning.

The Modular Distance Learning Delivery Instruction and Online Distance Learning are one of the methods to deliver various learning modalities to suit the needs of the students. The main goal is to continue the teaching and learning of the students while staying at home.

The first method of distance learning is the Modular Distance Learning Delivery Instruction. It is a learning method where the students can use printed self-learning modules (SLM) that can be accessed digitally or through electronic devices such as laptops, computers,

tablets and smartphones. This method is very easy to answer and less expensive because the teachers provided already the printed materials as a resource learning materials that can be used by the parents to teach their children at home.

Another method of distance learning is the Online Distance Learning. It is a learning method where teachers can teach their students through the internet. The teacher and the students can communicate and meet virtually through the use of Zoom links, Microsoft Teams and other social media that can help in the continuity of learning.

Students can also download the learning materials and submit their homework through online means.

Fortunately, some of the students wanted to have online learning because it is more convenient to them and it is easy to communicate with the teacher and other classmates via online class.

These alternative learning delivery methods demonstrated that the Department of Education (DepEd) is committed to provide a quality education to students despite the difficulties posed by the pandemic.

In doing this practice, the Education in the Philippines will continue to rise up again and help the children to be more educated and fulfill their dreams despite of the pandemic that still continuing nowadays.

Skills of an office administrative worker JOSEFINA S. TAYONE ADA- IV Ozamiz City National High School

Office skills are required for most office administrative positions because they increase productivity and efficiency. In this article, we’ll list the most in-demand office skills employers are seeking to help you prepare for your next office administrative position interview.

Office skills are basic administrative skills that help an office function smoothly. Employers often expect administrators to have experience or knowledge of basic office skills before they hire them. These skills allow administrators to schedule appointments, greet customers, ensure the office is functioning properly and provide employees with office resources.

By using these skills, office administrators are better equipped at meeting and

anticipating supervisor or employee needs. They may also ensure that any visitors feel welcome by providing a friendly presence and keeping a well-maintained office.

Many offices need administrators who possess strong office skills. Office administrators are responsible for schedules, organization and customer relations. They can often be the first impression potential or current customers get of the company. This is why proper office skills are essential to ensure office administrators are professional, personable and easy to reach via email or phone calls.

With a professional office administrator completing all their tasks efficiently using office skills, the overall company’s performance can remain successful.

Combining versatility of English with education

By OFELIA N. MONEVA

WIDELY adopted in all sectors due to globalization, the importance of the English language can never be underestimated given that it is the official language in many countries and used as a lingua franca by people all over the world.

Combining the versatility of English as a vital language with education, DepEd aims to fill the need for graduates who are proficient in the English language and at the same time equip potential teachers with innovative pedagogical approaches to prepare them for the teaching profession.

Not only does it offer vast exposure to knowledgebased learning and hands-on student-centered teaching methodology, the program

also prepares prospective English teachers with the knowledge and skills essential to provide effective instruction for students.

Graduates from this program are expected to possess entrepreneurial competencies and willingness to develop themselves by engaging in lifelong learning as well as strong professional ethical values at their workplace.

It entails business communication which will hone our interpersonal communication skills for utilization at the corporate workplace.

On top of that, there is also English literature as part of the syllabus. These two subjects make a great practical combination in honing my skills for my future job and career.

from page 4 people have awakened as they are now conscienticized, having a clear grasp of the socioeconomic-political structure and systems that are breeding poverty despite two peoplepowered revolutions. Now they know that the root cause of poverty is the elitist rule in a highly skewed pyramidal societal order under the control of a few oligarchs, cartel and conglomerates, where only some 200 families are pocketing annually 70% of the Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

Having awakened from their deep social slumber, all sectors of society are now up in arms against the common enemy which is abject poverty.

They follow the same formula adopted by our heroes, which is, to harness the people’s collective potentials and power to have control over their lives and over the resources which are fast slipping through their fingers. But unlike their forefathers who took up arms to fight the colonial masters, social transformation is now in the offing through peaceful means called cooperative revolution. As the former Chairman of the Cooperative Development Authority, Sec. Roberto “Obet” Pagdanganan has said, “where a few elite have much too much and the many who are poor have much too little, we might be facing consequences horrible even to contemplate. Sa bawat henerasyon may rebolusyon, rebolusyong kooperatiba, ngayon na!”

The fifteen million cooperative members are firmly giving high adherence to time-honored and universally-accepted cooperative principles; most importantly, they practice them. This set of principles is anchored on democratizing wealth and power which go by the name of cooperativism.

By law, cooperatives loom as instrument of social justice, equity and people-centered economic development. The cooperatives which are increasingly becoming a formidable force to fight hunger and poverty can aptly be called the new breed of freedom fighters, the new heroes of contemporary times.

Thus, the struggle for freedom goes on without let-up in a country that seems to be independent in name only but under the influence of a powerful countries who dared to put-up military bases here including nuclear weapons as their first line of defense.

How can we celebrate Independence Day knowing that we cannot even fish in our own archipelago especially in the West Philippine Sea which is now under the control of China? These are some of the painful realization worthy of some reflection as we celebrate Independence Day.

City government officials held daily press briefings to update residents on the COVID-19 situation.

Moreno also embarked on an efficient COVID-19 vaccination program that saw 98 percent of the city’s 750,000 residents inoculated and receiving booster shots.

The pandemic left 941 residents dead and 25,873 residents infected as of June 9, 2022. There were 24,924 recoveries during that period.

The city recorded one new case on that day and eight active cases, four of them in the hospital and four others in TTMF (temporary treatment and monitoring facilities).

Moreno constructed three hospitals during his term, two of which— the Center for Emerging and Reemerging Infectious Diseases (CEREID) medical facility in Barangay San Simon and Lumbia hospital – were constructed in the past two years during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Froilan Gallardo / MindaNews)

The local government’s Bantay Dagat (Ocean Watch) personnel were tasked to conduct a seaborne patrol in the said community. However, they have yet to see the crocodile.

“Our only focus is to take precautionary measures and we already informed our coastal barangays. We will continue our seaborne patrol because we will not neglect this incident.

However, we cannot confirm as of the moment the alleged crocodile. Those might just be allegations,” Gabule said in the vernacular.

He urged the public not to panic and just follow the precautionary measures from the authorities.

Teodulfo Bombeo, head of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said the crocodile was seen by two residents in the coastal area of Purok 1.

He said a certain Ernesto Ragmac, 44, resident of the said place saw the crocodile on the morning of June 9 and it was followed by Kajushua Gando, 28, who reported seeing the crocodile the following morning.

Covid 19 Pandemic has brought so many changes and challenges in our Educational System not just in the Philippines but also in other countries. The Department of Education has made every possible way in transitioning into the “new normal” way of learning just for Education to continue.

Giving learning distance modalities through different formats and flatforms from Modular, Online, tv/radiobased instruction to Blended learning just to adopt to the changes.

We learn how to be adaptive and resilient. Teachers being creative, flexible, learning and upskilling their skills for the pupils to be engaged in the new set up of learning.

Parents doing everything on becoming “Para teacher” since every household has become a Class Home already.

Missing out the face-to-face classes, meeting new friends, sharing stories with their old classmates for almost two years because of the pandemic, learners together with teachers, and parents are very much excited in the opening implementation of the limited face-to-face classes, and enjoy once again the fun and joy of going to school.

The Department of Education Division of Cagayan de

Oro City does a pilot run on the effective implementation of the face-to-face classes on some chosen school who passed and meet the qualifications/guidelines given by the different government agencies and partners. The different schools planning and doing their own initiatives such as providing thermal scanners, washing area, ensuring proper ventilation, and putting up markers/ signages around the school.

Teachers keeping the classroom safe like disinfecting the room after classes and pupils reminded every time on proper personal hygiene.

The implementation is a successful one. The schools safely operate following the strictly standard safety health protocols, school’s faculty, and staff where ready and compliant in terms of fully vaccinated employees and most specially no learners were reported in COVID 19 cases incidents.

The goal and vision of the Department of Education on being optimistic to reopen more schools for the face-toface classes, that amidst the different challenges, the risk of infections, the hesitancy of parents, teachers and learners, the Division are hopeful that this year would be a recovery for the Department of Education.

Vespa launches dealership in CdO

By Mindanao Daily News Network

WORLD-renowned Italian motorcycle brand Vespa is now available here in Northern Mindanao, thanks to Autohub Group.

From the company that brought us Ford and Mazda, Autohub Group adds a new

dealership to its fold – Vespa Cagayan de Oro. Located along Kauswagan highway here in Cagayan de Oro City, Vespa Cagayan de Oro opened its doors to a small but lavish ceremony last June 11.

Known for its various colors depending on the variant, Vespa in Cagayan de Oro has the following models on display in their showroom for sale: S125, Primavera 150, Primavera 150 S, Primavera Red,

Sprint 150, Sprint 150 S, Sprint 150 TFT, GTS 300 Super Sport, GTS 300 Super Tech, GTV Sei Giorni II and the limited GTS 75th Edition.

Vespa means wasp in Italian.

Vespa has evolved from a single model

motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. SpA of Pontedra, Italy to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by Piaggio.

From their inception, Vespa motorcycles have

been known for their painted, pressed steel unibody which combines in a unified structural unit a complete cowling for the engine, a flat footboard and a prominent foot fairing.
