Lifting of COVID restrictions will revitalize economy – MinDA Fire hits 32 houses in Iligan, 72 families left homeless

DAVAO CITY -- The Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) hopes the lifting of all coronavirus disease (COVID-19) restrictions in Davao City will revitalize the local economy after two years of stunted growth caused by the impact of the pandemic on the local industries.

MinDA Assistant Secretary Romeo Montenegro told MindaNews on Wednesday that the lifting of restrictions was a welcome development after two years of tight quarantine controls implemented to control the spread of the infections, as these regulations took a heavy toll on the economy.

“As we inch our way towards transitioning back to pre-COVID levels given the continued drop in cases, we hope the lifting of restrictions and allowing businesses to operate at full capacity will steer us to accelerated economic Officials discuss points on the CAMELCO issue during the Power Summit held at Mambajao, Camiguin on Thursday recovery by the end of the (March 3, 2022).

Power summit addresses energy concerns in Camiguin as its debts pile up

By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent

CAMIGUIN – Efforts are now being planned up to address the growing concerns of the public over the power situation here as financial obligations of the island-province’s sole power utility to its creditors has soared to almost P1 billion pesos over the years.

In a power summit conducted by the Department of Energy (DOE) held here March 3, it was reported that the Camiguin Electric Cooperative’s (CAMELCO) unpaid debts to power producers soared from P47

million in 2018 to P295 million in 2021, not counting the P426 million loans it incurred for many years.

Based on House Committee Report 1333 filed by Camiguin Rep. Xavier Jesus “XJ” Romualdo, the power summit focused on resolving key issues associated CAMELCO such as high power rates due to overcontracting, ballooning debts and financial losses, and its poor and unreliable service to consumers.

Referencing R.A. 9136 or ‘The Department of Energy Act of 1992’ and other relevant government issu-

ances, a formal performance assessment on the cooperative’s functional aspects from 2019 to 2020 was done by the DOE through the Electric Power Industry Management Bureau (DOEEPIMB).

It was observed that power outages on the island were mostly due to trees and vegetation.

CAMELCO has also not established protocols for power outages and load dropping in accordance with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).

That said, CAMELCO

was advised to increase efforts to minimize outages, develop a preventive maintenance plan, and a load dropping protocol.

DOE-EPIMB Division Chief Luningning G. Baltazar said CAMELCO must also come up with an enhanced Distribution Development Plan that incorporates system enhancements and capital expenditure requirements.

She added that the goal of CAMELCO’S development plan should be to continuously provide secure, sufficient, reliable and See SUMMIT, page 11

PDEA burns P34-M illegal drugs in Zambo

By JOEL CALAMBA ESCOL MDNN Digital

ZAMBOANGA CITY – Close to Thirty-five Million worth of illegal drugs were burned by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in the Zamboanga Peninsula, police authorities said Tuesday.

A broiler machine at the Permex Producer and Exporter Corporation in Barangay Ayala here was used by PDEA-9 to burn the illegal drugs confiscated in various operations in the city and in nearby areas of

the province.

PDEA Regional Director Emerson Margate told the media that those incinerated consisted of the following: 20 liters of liquid meth, and some expired medicines; 5.6 kilos of shabu worth PHP31,476,473; and some 16,314 kilos of dried marijuana leaves valued at PHP3 million He said the accumulated drugs were seized in different ports in Sulu province, Zamboanga Peninsula, from various cases filed in court based on anti-drug opera-

tions being conducted by the police and PDEA operatives.

Margate said: “These are evidence in cases filed and the destruction is covered by a court order.” It is also aimed “at inculcating in the minds of the people that seized pieces of evidence are indeed destroyed in accordance with the law, thereby eliminating the misconception that these evidence are used for other purposes.”

It was learned that representatives from different See BURNS, page 10

Easing Covid-19 restrictions in Davao City, a good sign

By CHE PALICTE

DAVAO CITY – Some Dabawenyos on Wednesday welcomed the lifting of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) restrictions as a good sign to start and bounce back from the pandemic.

In an interview, Ellen Estacaan, school information coordinator of San Roque Central Elementary School, said she is optimistic about the face-to-face (F2F) classes with the easing of the restrictions.

“I am looking forward to an F2F class with my learners. And soon we can start our limited F2F classes to those learners whose parents are also willing to send their children back to school,” she told Philippine

Now on the second phase of Barangay Bulahan’s TESDA-MisOr PRLEC project, Garrido disclosed that they are now focusing on bringing them to the sustainability stage and ensuring that they can have improved living standards from the training alone.

Estacaan added that the city is capable of handling limited in-person classes as they were also told by the Department of Education (DepEd) to be ready as soon as the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.

“When it comes to safety, we must always follow the health protocols and get vaccinated. The vaccine is of great help to keep ourselves immune from the virus,” she said.

Jan Midtanggal, a local business owner, also said the lifting of various restrictions, especially on the city borders would allow the economy to recover.

“It gives positivity in terms of the economy because the products would

freely come into the city and would bring the small businessmen back to their feet,” she said.

Midtanggal said the easing of restrictions would be very beneficial to delivery and courier services, as well as printing and online services.

Meanwhile, Candy Buenaventura, who travels to the city to work, said it would allow the economy to move forward.

“That’s good for the economy to move forward and that’s what we need.

People nowadays know about the minimum public health standards so I guess it is a good start,” she said.

Duterte eyeing Andanar as new spokesman PRESIDENTIAL communications chief Martin Andanar is expected to become the acting spokesperson of President Duterte in his final

months in office.

Andanar, a former broadcaster, will reportedly assume the post vacated by Cabinet Secretary Karlo

Nograles who has been appointed Civil Service Commission (CSC) chair.

Nograles already took his oath as new CSC chair with

MANILA – The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) has officially launched its own Anti-Corruption Committee (ACC) as part of its effort to curb corruption within its agencies.

In a simple ceremony at the Times Plaza Building along UN Ave. in Ermita, Manila on Monday, the PCOO announced its partnership with the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) to create its own ACC under the government’s “Project Kasangga: Aksyon Laban sa Korapsyon.”

PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar signed Special Order 22-35 reconstituting the ACC to create a streamlined Complaint Action Center, which the public may communicate with or have access to through a hotline, help desk, and/ or e-mail.

The following numbers and e-mail address can be reached to report their corruption-related complaints: 0916 7378 212 (Globe), 0969 2609 853 (Smart), acc@pco.gov.ph.

Aside from creating a hotline, the ACC was also tasked to coordinate with the agencies, bureaus, and other instrumentalities attached to it for the proper implementation and promotion of anti-corruption measures, policies, and programs.

The committee will also be responsible for the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Action Plans set by participating agencies and shall provide

a periodic report to their respective heads of offices and to the PACC. The ACC must also coordinate with PACC, through its Information and Resource Management Office, for the proper referral of information and incident reports of corruption and actions undertaken.

The offices and agencies under PCOO include News and Information Bureau/ Philippine News Agency, Philippine Information Agency, Bureau of Communications Services, National Printing Office, Presidential Broadcast Staff-Radio Television Malacañang, People’s Television Network, and Bureau of Broadcast Services.

PCOO Undersecretary for Administration and Legal Affairs Marvin Gatpayat will chair the ACC while Assistant Secretary for Media Relations Florentino Loyola Jr. will serve as vice chair.

In his speech, Gatpayat expressed confidence that the partnership between the PCOO and PACC would help “elevate” the fight against corruption on a much broader and intensified level.

“Through the ceremonial signing of the memorandum of agreement with the PACC, we hope to forge a strong alliance against corruption in all its forms within the agency. It signifies our strong commitment of serving with integrity and giving the public the best government service with excellence, honesty, and transparency,” he said.

Andanar, meanwhile, enjoined PCOO officials and members to play a part in contributing to social and political change and reform in the country.

“May all of the officials and members of the PCOO’s ACC in this agency endeavor to be a catalyst for us to realize and actualize a graft and corruption-free PCOO in order to provide a better and more comfortable life for all just as President Duterte envisioned it for the Filipinos,” he said in a video message.

PACC Chairperson Fortunato Guerrero is hopeful that the ACC would be carried over to the next administration.

“I hope we can all work together despite the very short time that we have– almost four months until June of 2022. But as we establish the system that we wanted established in every agency and department in the government, we can leave a legacy that we can pass on to the administration to come that we believe is necessary to fight graft in government,” he said.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has vowed to dedicate the remaining months of his term fighting corruption in government.

In October 2020, he announced the creation of a task force to investigate corruption in all offices of government, including lawmakers and local government chiefs like mayors and governors. (RICARDO LOUISE M. ALARILLA, Information Officer, PCOO)

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENTIAL COMMUNICATIONS AND ACTING PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESPERSON ON THE INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY Palace observes International Women’s Day, cites laws on women’s rights

Malacañang on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, paid tribute to the important role of women at homes and in society as the nation observes International Women’s Day. “Kinikilala po natin ang nakapahalagang papel ng ating mga kababaihan hindi lamang sa ating tahanan, kundi pati na rin ang kanilang konstribution sa ating lipunan,” said Presidential Communications Secretary and Acting Presidential Spokesperson Martin M. Andanar during his press briefing.

Secretary Andanar then cited some of the most important pieces of legislation signed during the Duterte Administration which aim to improve women’s rights and welfare.

One of these laws is Republic Act No. 11148, or the “Kalusugan at Nutrition ng Mag-Nanay Act,” which scaled up

the national and local health programs through a strengthened integrated strategy for maternal, neonatal, child health and nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life.

The Palace official also mentioned Republic Act No. 11210, or the “Expanded Maternity Leave Act,” which increased the maternity leave period to 105 days for female workers adding that these are all paid leaves.

Also signed during the Duterte Administration is Republic Act No. 11648, which increased the age for determining statutory rape to 16 years old.

“We are pleased to inform everyone that the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has congratulated the Philippine government for this milestone as it fulfills the children’s right to protection, which according to UNICEF, is enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child to which the Philippines is a signatory,” Andanar underscored.

a seven-year term but must still get the nod of the Commission on Appointments.

Andanar currently heads the Presidential Communi-

cations Operations Office (PCOO), that supervises the operations of the government’s several media agencies.

Nograles earlier took the place of Harry Roque, who quit his spokesman duties to run for senator in the May elections.

PRIOR to taking a form (body), a human being is consciousness (spirit), a being who is connected with the Unseen Being. Indeed, we are all embodied spirits, more spirit than body having been created in the image and likeness of the Creator, the Formless, the Eternal.

This is a truism that must be the basis of our existence so that the development of the spirit must be the priority rather than be enslaved to the whims and caprices of the body.

It is sad to note that humanity’s mindset has been captured by unbridled materialism and consumerism which does not only run counter to the essence of our very own spirituality but can be likened to the workings of an auto-immune disease syndrome (AIDS) where no less than the body’s defense mechanisms are attacking vital organs. Indeed, whatever be the form, all life is sacred, each one carrying a sense of divinity as all creation is a reflection of the Creator, of the Formless, Unseen Being.

Thus, every time you eat – be it red or white – please reflect for a while that that meat came from a life form that once did breathe, having experience in its own right pleasure and pains, exposed to the wonders of life, having felt the warmth

of the sun, the coolness of the wind, the brightness of the moon and the stars at night, taking food from the loving touch of the raisers and finally, had to succumb to the pains of shedding blood as its throat head to be cut – all because you must eat and live.

When one has to cease breathing, be it flora or fauna, so that the Homo Sapiens have to live, i.e. giving up one’s life so that another creation can live, that unescapable drama of life must be reflected upon by all of us that somehow contributes to the sacredness of life that only our Creator knows its reason for being. Perhaps that too should be in the mind of a hungry lion before eating a cornered prey especially if that victim is a human being.

One has to die so that another creation has to live.

That alone may justify the killing of an animal. Life for life. But when the flora and fauna are massacred to prove one’s dominion over nature, to be sacrificed to the altar greed and profit or worse, for sports, that is a categorical manifestation of a human being having been made in the image and likeness of God, to be reduced to a mere beast! We decimate our forest, pollute our rivers and bays; we produce

Orlan R. Ravanera

food yet contaminate our water table following costly agricultural technologies tied up to the heavy use of toxic chemicals; modern living adopting lifestyle that makes of a throw-away society – all done in the name of development.

That kind of development which is based on high veneration to the profit motive can only be described as ruthless and futureless which has made the impossible now possible which is the end of life on earth.

Biodiversity embracing the billions of life forms has tremendously decreased as these life forms which have evolved on earth for billions of years are now extinct. As the earth warms and the oceans rise, we are now confronted on how to feed, clothe and house the exponentially growing earthlings that will reach the 9.5 billion mark in 2050.

If our way of making a living is killing Mother Earth because it is just all about how to respond to bodily needs, that kind of madness has totally disregarded man’s spirituality. In fact, the growth-at-all-cost See FORM, page 11

Have my say

Life bridges

“IF you are good at building bridges, you will never fall into the abyss!” said Mehmet Murat Ildan. Understanding is the bridge between two minds; love is the bridge between two souls.

We are all bridge builders during our whole life.

I am not talking about the raised platform on a ship or a bridge mounting for false teeth or, as in the bony part of the nose. I am talking about spiritual bridges establishing connections between us and other people - or, between God and us.

Another elementar y example is the “birthday bridge” or the turn to the year, that takes us from the old into a new period of life.

A very important bridge in life takes people to me and me to people. It does not matter if our skin is black or white, if we are rich or poor, man or woman, being sad or happy.

So obvious our daily life is that we might even forget simple things easily.

Self-esteem, respect and freedom from anxiety are the necessary and conclusive foundations for this kind of bridge.

Earl Nightingale discussed topics with regards to human character development and behaviors. He

was known for his deep voice and clear diction. He was the voice of ‘Sky King’, which was a radio adventure series.

Nightingale also co-authored a book called ‘The Strangest Secret’ which is considered to be one of the greatest motivational books of all time. Earl Nightingale’s ‘Our Changing World’ was a five-minute radio commentary program which spoke about personal development.

Every person experiences a struggling period in their lives where they learn, and understand the wonders of life precisely.

“Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach”, Earl Nightingale describes the significance of the bridge and how it helps one to travel through the hard phase of our lives.

The bridge is a path and a direction that motivates us to move towards enlightened life.

What comes out from dark times is a whole new person who has risen up and has crossed the bridge for a brighter world. Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

Small but important

Klaus Doring

bridges every daily - how easily are they to be built: gestures of love - like a medicine; a handshake together with commendation and praise, encouraging words, a warm smile, instead of a superficial “How are you?” and the expected “Fine” or “OKAY LANG!”.

Allow me to say it clearly and directly to the point: Separations result from crumbled or fit for demolition bridges. Destroyed spiritual bridges can be found at any corner. Look into your neighbourhood or, don’t drive away and repress this topic in your family. Insignificant trifling matters, minor arguing, misinterpretations, results in silence - and after the destroyed bridge follows an invincible wall not only between estates but also in the hearts and minds of stubborn human beings.

Men as well as women build too many walls and not enough bridges.

MESSAGE OF THE REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT:

As PhilHealth celebrates its 27 years of existence, allow me to warmly congratulate all the men and women of PhilHealth- from the PhilHealth Express, Business Centers, LHIOs, Branch Offices, Regional Offices to the Head Office. In spite of difficult challenges in the implementation of the Universal Health Care, we have demonstrated resilience and prevailed under the strong direction of the current PhilHealth leadership.

The anniversary theme “Tumutugon sa Hamon ng Panahon” is a fitting description of the new normal as a result of our extensive battle against the raging COVID-19 pandemic which changed the landscape of public service. PhilHealth, as a financial institution, is in the center of this fight to end COVID-19 pandemic currently plaguing the world. To cope with volatile periodic travel restrictions imposed by appropriate authorities, several PhilHealth programs were adopted to ensure that public service will not be hampered, notwithstanding limitations in manpower and other resources.

In PhilHealth Regional Office 10, we assure the public that we will continue to respond and adopt to these changes without compromising the services we provide to our members and stakeholders. Rest assured further that we will be available to PhilHealth members in times of health care need and continue to lay down the foundation of Universal Health Care towards its full implementation. This is not only our duty as officers and employees of PhilHealth, but our commitment to our fellow Filipinos.

Let us continue to persevere and hurdle all the challenges ahead. Congratulations PhilHealth Team! Mabuhay po tayong lahat!

NEDA exec cites importance of subsidy as oil prices soar

By JOANN VILLANUEVA

MANILA – An official of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) stressed the importance of government subsidies in helping address the impact of rising fuel prices on the public.

During the Palace briefing on Tuesday, NEDA Undersecretary Rosemarie Edillion said the government has allocated under this year’s national budget a PHP2.5 billion fuel subsidies for public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators and a PHP500 million subsidy for the agriculture sector.

She said NEDA is requesting for an increase in the amount of subsidies to PHP5 billion for the transport sector and to PHP1.1 billion for the agriculture sector.

She, however, said they

need to wait for the March 2022 fiscal report to check if there will an increase in revenue collections, which will be tapped for the additional subsidies.

“Kapag magkakaroon ng excess revenues from the program, ito po ay magagamit natin sa pag-fund ng tinatawag nating mga unprogrammed na appropriations. So, ang tingin naman po natin is malamang po magkakaroon din ng excess collection, dito po natin kukuhanin [ang subsidy]. (If there will be excess revenues from the revenue program we can use this to fund what we call unprogrammed appropriations. We think that there will be a likely excess in collections, and this is where we will get the funds for additional subsidy),” she said.

Power Mac Center woos new-to-iPhone users BSP Co-Hosts Knowledge Take advantage of special offers from major banks and Home Credit, UpTrade program FOR Filipino Apple enthusiasts and new-to-iPhone smartphone users, now is the perfect time to find the right iPhone for you.

Apple premium reseller Power Mac Center (PMC) kicks off its special 2022 campaign “iPhone for All,” which invites Filipinos to rediscover the beauty of the iPhone and makes it easier on the pocket through great discounts, flexible payment offers, and wide availability both in stores and online.

“Since 1994, Power Mac Center has not wavered in its commitment to make the Apple ecosystem closer to the local market. Our top priority always is to deliver quality and premium services, in a way that’s also attuned to customers’ needs. Now that the world is reopening, we’re making the shift convenient for them as we’re excited to once more see how people stretch their talent and imagination using the iPhone as their productivity and creativ-

ity tool,” said Joey Alvarez, Power Mac Center Director of Product Management, Marketing, and Space Planning.

The “iPhone for All” campaign allows PMC to showcase the iPhone not as a mere nice-to-have or even a luxury like some misconception, but a quality tech investment full of features built for practically every kind of passion and

profession.

Much has been said about the quality and design of the iPhone’s hardware and software, and its focus on security and privacy remain as top reasons why shifting to the iPhone provides more bang for one’s buck.

The latest series, for instance, features the most advanced dual-camera system, lightning-fast A15 Bionic chip, Super Retina XDR

display, Superfast 5G, and the best battery life ever in an iPhone. It’s also worth mentioning how the iPhone works beautifully with other Apple devices, making the move from device to device convenient, seamless, and perpetually in sync.

Exchange Program on CBDC THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Alliance for Financial Inclusion jointly hosted the Knowledge Exchange Program on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) for Financial Inclusion from March 1-3, 2022. This is part of ongoing efforts to explore and evaluate potential use cases of the technology.

“We can say that CBDC may be an idea whose time has come, but certainly it has many aspects that need to be better understood,” Governor Diokno said in his opening remarks.

In 2021, the BSP initiated an exploratory study on CBDC, followed by a national payment system as-

sessment to identify relevant use cases for the digital fiat money.

“As next step, the BSP targets to roll-out in the near term, a pilot CBDC implementation which we call Project CBDCPh. The project aims to build organizational capacity and hands-on knowledge of key aspects of CBDC that are relevant for a use case around addressing frictions in the national payment system,” the Governor added.

The three-day knowledge exchange program featured insights from central banks, multilateral institutions, policy thinktanks, financial service providers and

THE Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has recorded a total of 2.12 million accounts opened online through its award-winning Digital Onboarding System (DOBS) as of end-December 2021, driven by the continued rise in demand for safer digital banking services.

“This new DOBS milestone underscores LANDBANK’s steadfast commitment to deliver accessible and innovative digital solutions as we respond to the changing times. This is also a testament to the Bank’s dedication to balance service delivery while ensuring the health and safety of our customers,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo.

Since its launch in No-

vember 2018, the LANDBANK DOBS has helped simplify the account enrolment process and reduced the account opening time of customers from 45 minutes to just 10-15 minutes.

LANDBANK also launched last year the DOBS Mobile as a feature of its Mobile Banking App (MBA), which allows customers to open a LANDBANK savings account using their mobile phone without the need to go to a LANDBANK branch.

Accounts opened through DOBS are automatically enrolled in LANDBANK’s array of e-banking channels, such as the LANDBANK iAccess and Mobile Banking App that facilitate simple digital banking transactions.

Learning through disciplines entails learning not only the knowledge of the discipline but also the skills associated with the production of knowledge within the discipline. Through disciplinary curriculum and instruction learners should learn why the discipline is important, how experts create new knowledge, and how they communicate about it.

Continued learning in any discipline requires that a person—or expert—become deeply familiar with a knowledge base, know how to use that knowledge base, articulate a problem, creatively address the problem, and communicate findings in sophisticated ways. Therefore, mastering a discipline means using many 21st century skills.

According to asdc.org, all individuals the world over, not

just knowledgeable people, ask generative questions. Children do not ask about the meaning of life and death or good and bad merely because others talk about these issues.

Rather, these questions arise spontaneously, prompting children to pose them in their own way and to come up with imaginative answers.

The disciplines, individually and jointly, offer the best current efforts to approach, and to supply, provisional answers for these enduring questions.

As we saw in our two simple examples (about abdication and illness), just as questions come from different points and lead to different kinds of answers, the disciplines themselves have disparate roots and lead, by varying routes, to different kinds of accounts.

ibility in their careers as well.

Schools and training programs typically fixate on a defined career path, but most people’s careers do not follow such predictable paths. The ability to be more flexible in a career means that you can learn new skills and assume responsibilities outside of your original position. This can lead to promotions and greater possibilities in your career.

Work flexibility is a twostep process. First, it considers the ability to perceive changes that happen in the workplace.

Second, it involves the skill of quickly coming up with an appropriate response. Flexibility is essential as it helps companies become more resilient towards change while allowing them to take more considerable advantage of changing conditions.

take extra precautions as the Covid-19 virus remains a threat to everyone.

On Monday, Mayor Sara Z. Duterte ordered the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions through Executive Order (EO) 11 as it aims to reopen the city for economic recovery given the impending increase in prices of commodities.

Duterte said no documentary requirement shall be required for land, sea, and air domestic travelers except those who may be required by the Philippine National Police or the Armed Forces of the Philippines to present their valid ID in connection with law enforcement, anti-illegal drugs, and antiterrorism operations.

For contact tracing, the use of the Davao Quick Response is also suspended while home isolation will

now be allowed for positive cases.

EO 11 said no lockdowns including granular lockdowns shall be imposed as part of the Covid-19 response of the city government as all existing lockdowns are lifted.

Duterte’s EO added that every local government unit shall exercise the powers expressly granted, those necessarily implied therefrom, as well as powers necessary, appropriate, or incidental for its efficient and effective governance, and those which are essential to the promotion of the general welfare.

“Local governments should use its powers in promoting the economic condition, social welfare, and material progress of the people in the community,” she said.

However, the mayor said despite the easing of restrictions, facemasks should be

Better reading comprehension in the new normal By: ROY A. ABAD Master Teacher I El Salvador City National High School

Being able to understand and comprehend what you are reading is of but a very significant and important aspect of every human life.

Once an individual is being able to comprehend what he or she is reading then it bears a huge impact to his or her existence. Reading comprehension is very much applicable whether one is at school, at home, at work, or at any other places that may require therein.

Basically, the goal of reading is to derive meaning, especially now in the new normal in which face to face classes are being suspended and parents are now getting more involved and engaged with the selflearning modules among learners. Obviously, this is an extreme example but sadly, classrooms across in-

terspersed with pupils who experience the same type of frustration every day. They don’t possess adequate reading comprehension skills to do what is expected of them.

Without comprehension, reading is simply following words on the page from left to right while sounding them out. The words on the page have no meaning. And while pupils read for so many different reasons, the chief goal is to derive some understanding of what the writer is trying to convey and make use of that informationwhether for fact gathering, learning a new skill, or for pleasure. That is why reading comprehension skills are so important. Without it, the reader cannot gather the information and use it to efficiently function and enjoy the richness of life.

The Importance of Motivation in Learning By: JEANINA L. NADUMA Teacher III Balingasag Central School

Attitude is one of the most important factors of success. A steering wheel geared towards the goals of every endeavor.

According to humanist psychologist Abraham Maslow, our actions are motivated in order to achieve certain needs.

People are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs.

Motivation explains the direction and magnitude of behavior, or in other words, it explains what goals people choose to pursue and how actively or intensely they pursue them. Motivation results from the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors such as the intensity of desire or need, incentive or reward value of the goal, and expectations of the individual and of his or her peers.

Motivation varies over time and depending up on the circumstances.

Motivation is not only important in its own right; it is also an important predictor

of learning and achievement.

Students who are more motivated to learn persist longer, produce higher quality effort, learn more deeply, and perform better in classes.

A common distinction made in the literature is between extrinsic and intrinsic forms of motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the act of doing an activity purely for the joy of doing it, and it is frankly very rare in school and work contexts. Extrinsic motivation, or the use of external rewards or punishments to encourage student work completion, is generally painted in education as the enemy of good instruction. This is true to a certain extent because, as learning is comparable to exploration, the use of rewards or punishments tends to outline a boundary around how much a student should explore.

The teacher designs how motivation stimulates the cognitive learning process of the students to achieve better academic performance.

Handwashing facilities with soap and water and alcohol or hand sanitizers must be available for everyone inside the business, office, or any other establishment.

100% on LSG disbursement DSWD XI is the only regional office to hit 100-percent on the disbursement of livelihood assistance to its target number of beneficiaries for the previous year.

Aside from LSG, the regional office has also provided other assistance to the displaced families such as transportation, transitory family support package (food and non-food items), transitory shelter, and stakeholders’ training, among others.

The BP2 efforts and initiatives of the agency

were made possible through the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHICIDSS) with the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP).

Both programs aim to deliver assistance to Filipino families who are in need, in the form of livelihood assistance and construction of disaster-resilient community-building projects, most especially in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA).

The BP2 is a governmentfunded program that aims to promote balanced regional development by decongesting highly urbanized areas in the country, through the assistance of individuals and families wanting to go back to their respective provinces, with services ranging from transportation assistance to livelihood grants.

Furthermore, the program aims to provide comprehensive services to families returning to their provinces as well as funding assistance to local government units (LGU) to improve access to basic services.

The program is chaired by the National Housing Authority (NHA) while DSWD is one of its implementing government agencies.

21st century education and technology milestone

By MARY GLENN GRACE S. ESGUERRA

These days, technology is embedded into our culture and our everyday lives—from smart phones to smart homes.

Today’s learners expect the same kind of technological innovations to enhance their educational experience. For instance, learners say technology helps their professors to be more efficient and effective in teaching classes, and they feel that technology helps them to be more efficient and effective learners.

As learners’ digital literacy grows, teachers must match or surpass the level of technology learners’ use outside of the classroom.

Learners are coming to us with much different demands than they did even five years ago. They are tech savvy and tech focused. They want to learn in ways that are more interactive—both in class and in the tools they use to learn. To be impactful, teachers cannot teach the way teachers in 20 years ago and expect to keep them involved and engaged in their studies, because the learners today do not learn the same way.

Learners love modern

technologies, and it’s easier to engage them in learning if the teacher use online learning techniques. Some key benefits of using technologies in teaching: interest learners in the educational process; keep in touch with learners; develop creative thinking; teach innovative things; and gain new learning experience. Learners are becoming digitally literate, and it affects their self-development.

Most significantly now in the new normal teaching ang learning set-up, as a teacher, it is of significant thrust that I would be able to indulge with this technological savvy strategies and scheme. This lobby knows no age, that is why both the young and the old teachers must be updated. However, I see this as an opportunity to harness more my teaching skills, and that this is not a hindrance to just sit still and relax. For all you know, it is not an easy job as a teacher, it is not an easy profession.

Yet, with all mighty and integrity, I vow to always do my best in every endeavor I will undertake.

the international market continues to jump.

Edillion said because of the February 2022 inflation outcome authorities want to ensure adequate food supply, which account for the largest share in the consumer price index (CPI) basket.

She said fuel products like the liquified petroleum gas (LPG) as well as energy and then transport also account for a big chunk in the CPI. “Kaya dito nga po nakaabang iyong subsidiya ng gobyerno to make sure na mai-maintain natin na mababa ang presyo nitong mga ito (This is where the government subsidies are allocated in to make sure prices remain low),” she added.

Fostering effective communication in the workplace

By JULIETA C. GABE Lubilan Integrated School

Good communication is an essential tool in achieving productivity and maintaining strong working relationships at all levels of an organization – and this has been particularly important since the Covid-19 outbreak forced many people to work remotely.

Poor communication in the workplace will inevitably lead to unmotivated staff that may begin to question their own confidence in their abilities and inevitably in the organization.

Communication is at the heart of every sound workforce management practice.

Workplace communication is much more than conversations. It is all about the exchange of information through multiple different mediums. Personnel share ideas and businesses communicate strategies and goals through communication, both formal and informal.

Given the shifting workplace situation, effective workforce communications

are more critical than ever.

A crisis, whether a natural disaster, a corporate meltdown or the outbreak of a disease affects employee morale, especially to one of the frontliners, our dear teachers. Effective communication can still bind your team together even during times of uncertainty. Leaders need to do their part to address issues promptly and clearly.

Communication in the workplace isn’t just about how well you work with others.

It’s about building relationships, minimizing errors, and most importantly, working as productively as possible.

Most importantly, workplace communication plays a vital role in the development of an organization and is a central aspect in completing any job. Without communication there will be limited progress on tasks, projects, and the development of the organization’s goals and objectives.

development strategy is rooted on the brutal, junglelike philosophy of the “survival of the fittest,” “fittest” being the most aggressive, the strongest – all physical qualities.

Humanity is now so engrossed in form or object consciousness, totally forgetting who we truly are: consciousness rooted to the Eternal, to the ONENESS of life in the Universe.

This world is a world of form which are transient and impermanent. What matters is that Spaciousness, the Stillness that is the very essence of life.

Indeed, as consciousness we must develop our spiritual qualities, unfettered from compulsive thinking of the egoic mind. Life after the life of form will be one of Stillness Consciousness, thus we must develop spiritual qualities as these are what are the essentials when we will leap to the Great Beyond to that transcendental dimension of spirituality in the loving embrace of the Creator. Indeed, material wealth will have no bearing in that dimension where oneness, love, service, kindness, honesty, integrity and all spiritual qualities matter, ending up in God’s loving embrace! Knowing thyself as pure consciousness, then you will discover who truly you are.

When you discovered who truly you are as deep consciousness, the words of Jesus will indeed put to reality the biblical truism that “the Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” That vast spaciousness is within each one of us. Can you not feel that? Be unfettered from deep unconsciousness spawned by unbridled materialism, then transcendental dimension awareness looms in the realm of great stillness. Then, breathe deeply and feel the essence of life deep within your body that is rooted in the Being. Try it and be liberated from compulsive thinking of the egoic mind that has brought forth mankind’s collective insanity that had killed its own kind in the 20th century alone more than 100 million human beings out of two world wars and the cleansing of Hitler and Pol Pot. With that new consciousness, the divine purpose of the universe will unfold for a new earth!

Last Monday, Mayor Sara Duterte released Executive Order No. 11 which lifted COVID-19 restrictions here, allowing businesses, offices, and establishments to operate at pre-pandemic capacity.

Duterte cited the need “to swiftly reopen the city for economic recovery in view of the impending increase in prices.”

It added that no lockdowns, including granular lockdowns, will be imposed while existing lockdowns have been lifted. All other alternative work arrangements for local and national government offices are also lifted while public utility vehicles are allowed full carrying capacity based on pre-pandemic guide.

In a data released by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) in February, Davao Region had posted P3.49 billion in registered investments for the year 2021, or a 29.63% drop compared with P4.96 billion approved in 2020.

The drop in investments was blamed on the lack of investment inflows in the region’s key sectors: real estate, manufacturing, administrative and support service activities, electricity, gas, steam, and airconditioning supply, and agriculture, forestry, and fishing here last year.

Also, the NEDA-Davao reported there were 11,871 workers who lost jobs last year as the operations of companies continued to bear the impact of the pandemic.

As other parts of Mindanao see a continuous drop in COVID-19 cases, Montenegro said he hopes other local government units would ease up or lift restrictions but the official emphasized the need to strictly enforce minimum protocols such as wearing of face masks as directed under the guidelines of the InterAgency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATFMEID).

For its information technology aspect, the DOE suggests CAMELCO to pursue ISO certification and consider data centralization, capacity building, and eventual turn-over of IT systems management.

At present, CAMELCO’s non-centralized IT system focuses only on meter reading, billing, and collection under contract.

CAMELCO also operates a diesel plant to provide power on the island. When asked about the increase in electricity costs in the past month, CAMELCO Acting General Manager Rovir Ian M. Golosino said this is due to the increase in fuel prices felt across the country.

The reason for this is the rising cost of fuel, which also affects the cost of operating our diesel plant. The impact is mostly felt in the increase of our generation cost,” Golosino said.

He adds that other electric cooperatives in Mindanao and in the country are also faced with the same difficulty.

In response to the suggestions offered by the DOE, Golosino said CAMELCO will be integrating an automatic voltage regulator in its systems to address and prevent further system losses and provide reliable power.

DAVAO CITY – Over 2,000 families have been affected while no casualties have so far been reported from floods caused by bad weather on Monday night, the Davao City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) through the City Information Office (CIO) reported Wednesday.

“We are happy to note that we did not record casualties. We call the Dabawenyos to remain on high alert for possible flooding incidents,” CDRRMO head Alfredo Baloran said in an advisory.

However, he reported that a landslide occurred and affected a two-lane road at Sitio Malapangi, Barangay Malabog, rendering the road not passable to any types of vehicles.

“We are still in La Niña season. This may extend to April. We would like to remind everyone to always be alert because we may experience localized thunderstorms with LPA (low pressure area) near Davao city that brings heavy rains,” Baloran said.

He also added that this warning also extends to those who are living in landslideprone areas.

Meanwhile, the City Social Services and Development Office (CSWDO) has also dispatched its mobile kitchen to serve hot meals to around 2,322 families who evacuated to safe grounds on Monday night when major rivers swelled and drenched residential areas due to www.facebook.com/saltedinheaven and deliveries will be made through riders.

Marlisa Gallo, CSWDO head, said they immediately dispatched the city government’s mobile kitchen to serve hot meals to affected residents who took refuge in 19 evacuation sites.

“Most of them already returned home, except those in Barangay Tigatto and Barangay-19 B,” she said.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the LPA which was last tracked 45 kilometers south of Zamboanga City. It is expected to bring rains in most parts of the country on Wednesday.

experimented with various processes from salting to boiling and coloring, but was not satisfied with the results, which pushed her to research some more until she hit perfection, hence the brand “Salted in Heaven”.

“The secret is actually in the curing and boiling,” she shares with a wink. “The salted duck eggs that you’ve been craving for are made eggs-tra special as they’re soaked in turmeric with less salt and larger than usual salted duck eggs.”

“I love our authentic creamy, not quite salty, aged duck salted eggs,” she added.

“Our eggs go great with salads of dried cranberries, nuts, fresh arugula, sliced tomatoes, white onions, cucumber, and thinly sliced garlic for added oomph!”

project as well, she decided to simply source her supply locally from duck egg producers in Libona. She also hires three to four people locally, mostly single moms and battered wives whenever they undertake production, which has now increased to 35 trays every three weeks.

From a huge dying cypress tree in the farm (known locally as “saypris, sipris or cipris”), the workers use chips from its dead branches to start a fire for cooking the eggs, and mixed them with giant ipil-ipil firewood producing a fragrant wood smoke.

Besides the salted duck eggs, the project has also undertaken pest control under the brand name “Unipest” as an additional revenue source See CHARITY, page 11
