Senator Bong Go witness the turn over PRRDs commitment to improve healthcare system to Phil Orthopedic Center By ASANGAN T. MADALE Contributor

SENATOR and Chair of the Senate Committee on Health Christopher “Bong” Go highlighted President Rodrigo Duterte’s commitment to strengthening the healthcare system of the country as he personally witnessed on Monday, February 21, the turnover of financial assistance from the Office of the President (OP) to Philippine Orthopedic Center (POC) in Quezon City. “I want to emphasize the need to invest in our healthcare system.... I am

glad that we are taking the right steps so that we can be better prepared for any future health crisis that may come,” Go earlier said. “Dapat patuloy nating palakasin ang ating healthcare capacity, magdagdag ng mga kama, magtatag ng mga dagdag na ospital at palakasin ang serbisyo na maaaring maibigay ng ating mga pampublikong ospital. Dahil sa totoo lang po, ang mga mahihirap nating mga kababayan ang pumupunta sa mga pampublikong ospital. Para po ito sa kanila. Basta kapakanan ng mahihirap, ipaglalaban

po namin kayo,” he added. The OP, in fulfillment of its obligation to ensure the health and well-being of Filipinos, allocated PhP65 million to POC for the latter’s acquisition of medical equipment that will further improve the quality of health services it can provide to its patients. The financial assistance was sourced from the OP’s Socio-Civic Projects Fund (SCPF) and shall be used to acquire three types of Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) devices.

PhilHealth pushes for mental wellness of Filipinos disorders continue to rise, Boncajes urged everyone to pay attention to their mental health and seek immediate psychological assistance when necessary. “It is important for us to be aware that mental health problems can lead to mental disorders if not acted on appropriately and not given timely intervention,” he said.

By GABRIEL D. ANDRES

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- In celebration of its 27th anniversary, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation Regional Office (PhilHealth)- 10 conducted a webinar dubbed, “PhilHealth Matters: A Webinar on Mental Health Awareness and Prevention,” February 22. The event’s resource speaker, Dr. Rodney R. Boncajes of the National Center for Mental Health shared his insights on mental wellness and the prevention of mental health problems, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Referencing data from the World Health Organization (WHO), Boncajes said Filipinos are mostly affected by mental disorders such as depression and anxiety disorders. In 2017, the WHO recorded 3.2 million Filipinos diagnosed with depression, and about three million Filipinos diagnosed with anxiety. Data from the same year also show that five in every 100,000 Filipinos commit suicide. He added that the mental health of the elderly, children, adolescents, and students have been greatly affected by the global health crisis, causing them to exhibit increased levels of distress and symptoms of

Government action and interventions For those wishing to seek medical advice for their conditions, Boncajes said a 24/7 crisis hotline operated by the National Center for Mental Health and the Department of Health (DOH) is available for Filipinos across the country. DOH regional offices have also

managed to create their own crisis hotlines that use local languages to facilitate better communication. Majority of the services offered by the NCMH and the DOH have also been transitioned digitally, Boncajes said, making them more accessible and safer for people. Without the See PUSHES, page 10

depression and anxiety. During the talk, Boncajes cited three ‘domains of functionality’—Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Work/ school-related functionality—that determine one’s self-image, social interaction, and the performance of tasks. He said one domain being affected by mental health problems already warrants medical consultation. “Isa lang po sa mga tatlong [domains of functionality] na magkaroon ng concern, warranted na po na kayo ay makita kaagad ng mental health professional para maiwasan ang complication. If [all] your domains of functionality have already been affected, medyo alarming na po,” Boncajes said. He also said to look out

for symptoms of mental health problems and disorders. Based on the Mental Health Continuum Model, mentally-ill persons exhibit an exhausted or fatigued image, have enraged or depressed moods, frequently think about suicide, are not able to perform tasks at all, and are associated with substance or alcohol abuse. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Boncajes said individuals feel stressed and panic due to fear of infection, rumors and misinformation, and for fear of the unknown. He added that confusion, distress, mistrust, and doubt are emotions also commonly associated with the pandemic. As the number of Filipinos who experience these mental health problems and

(Editor’s note: we are giving space to this article written by Willy Cuenca as his personal reflection during The 1986 EDSA revolution. He is gunning for a seat at the City Council of Cagayan de Oro as the lone candidate of PDP Laban) IN 1986, the first spark of PEOPLE POWER started in Cagayan de Oro City via a group of CdO students and out of school youth who chose the path of peace for change against the Marcos dictatorship. In December of 1985, a National Youth Consultation was held in Cebu City organized by PDPLABAN Youth on whether we will Boycott or participate the Snap Elections called by then President Ferdinand Marcos. Among the CdO delegates CdO were Lawyers Ike Naduma and Gladis Lomocso-Naduma, Jocelyn Mendoza-Salcedo, Gertrude Bangongon, Edwin Gabutan and this writer. I was then the President of PDPLABAN Youth in CdO. We got our support from the late Senator Nene Pimentel, the founder of PDP-Partido Demokratiko Pilipino and the late Cagayan de Oro Mayor Ambing Magtajas. We decided decided to

Boycott the snap elections and subsequently organized the Youth for Cory & Doy (YCD) movement. Our group had made the Andres Bonifacio Statue at DVSORIA as our Campaign Camp and Headquarters which was a few meters from OKK Police Station. We installed a huge streamer printed with “Kalayaan Hindi Hinihingi Ito’y Ipinaglalaban” in DVSORIA. Cory Aquino won the snap election but Marcos was proclaimed by the stamp pad Congress/Batasan Pambansa. The Filipino people did not like Marcos’ way of stealing the will and voice

of the people. We decided to continue the fight through peaceful means and decided to stay, and hold and protect our Andres Bonifacio camp at Divisoria. YCD was automatically changed from Youth for Cory and Doy into Youth Committed to Democracy. I can still vividly remember the XU College of Medicine students led by now Dr. Loloy Navarro conducted free medical service like getting Blood Pressure as their contribution to our anti-Marcos activities. Everyday, our YCD led by See REFLECTIONS, page 11

Kim’s Dream Environment Advocates Before, Now Human Rights Defenders

Fishing Families in El Salvador Opposing Eviction THE poor fishing families in the off-shore area in Purok 5, Barangay Alo, Poblacion, El Salvador, Misamis Oriental are now having sleepless nights because they were told that the sea shore area where they have transformed into their residency through hard work by gathering stones to build their concrete houses, not minding the onslaught of strong wind and waves since the sixties has been a subject of a land title and is now owned by a buyer who bought their residential area for more than seven million pesos to be the site of business activities. They were so puzzled because their off-shore residency had been inundated with sea water and became only livable after filling the area with stones before constructing their houses on top of the gathered stones. As they were allowed to use the seashore, they were so thankful to the DENR based on the legal tenet that those who have less in life, should have more in law. As expression of their gratitude for allowing to stay in the off-shore area as fisherfolk, they have become very active in protecting the grandeur of Macajalar Bay as active members of Task

Force Macajalar (TFM). They were designated as Fishery Wardens by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic resources (BFAR) in the Nineties and together with Task Force Macajalar had been conducting nightly sea-borne patrol to stop illegal fishing activities and illegal intrusion of 100-tonner commercial fishing boats that were raking the bay then of fish in the municipal waters. In fact, it was so amazing that they established along the bay in El Salvador a fishery guard house through their voluntary efforts together with TFM. Being true to the word El Salvador, they were instrumental in saving the marine and fishery life in the bay. But their environmental advocacy was not just limited in stopping illegal fishing activities. The bay was also a victim of massive soil erosion and siltation. What men do in the uplands affect the life in the sea. Because trees were cut, soil has been eroding that destroys coral reefs as well as the mangroves. The illegal mining activities including hydraulics have worsened the condition of the bay. Thus, these poor fisherfolk had joined TFM

Orlan R. Ravanera

in conducting direct action against illegal logging and illegal mining through human barricades. Every night then from 12 midnight until dawn, some 50 10-wheeler logging trucks carrying illegal cut logs from the hinterlands of Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon and Lanao provinces were passing the thoroughfares of Cagayan de Oro when the Cagayanons were fast asleep. Not minding the throwing of an m2k2 grenade, they bravely faced the threats to life and declared they were willing to give up their lives to protect God’s vanishing creation. That was how passionate they were then as they feel oneness with all of God’s creation. Could there be greater love than the love of these fisherfolk who were willing to give up their lives to protect hundreds of thousands of species including marine and fishery resources that were becoming extinct then because the 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forest have been ravaged by powerful loggers? If I may recall, they had even composed a poem as a tribute to Macajalar Bay, to quote: “Will the bay which reign See EVICTION, page 11

Drinking session turns bloody; 1 dead, another injured By JOEL CALAMBA ESCOL Managing Editor

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – An alleged discussion on politics among drinking buddies has turned sour which led to a shooting incident that killed one person and injured another in Barangay Macasandig here early Friday morning. Police said Anthony Espina was declared dead on arrival at the governmentowned Northern Mindanao Medical Center due to gunshot wounds in the head while Peth Jagualing

sustained injuries in his shoulder and is currently undergoing treatment at the J.R. Borja General Hospital. C apt . A l l an C airel, commander of Barangay Nazareth Police Station 9, identified the suspect as Jonathan Borja, 48, a resident of Apollo Apartments in Macasandig and a councilor of Barangay 3. Cairel said Borja surrendered to authorities after the incident. He said they still can’t confirm how many gun-

shot wounds the victims sustained but investigators recovered eight empty shells at the scene. As of this writing, Cairel said police personnel are still at the hospital waiting for reports from the victims’ attending physicians. Initial police investigation showed that the two victims and a certain Danny Maandig were having a drinking session in front of a store when Borja came and joined them. Later, a heated argument ensued among them which

resulted in the mauling of Borja. Reports said Borja left and returned a few minutes later with a .45 caliber pistol and shot the victims. Macasandig chair Amor Sanchez relayed that based on the accounts of the residents who heard the altercation, Borja and the victims argued on issues about politics. But Cairel said police will still conduct further investigation to determine the real reason for the argument.

#BrigadangAyalaKaakay: Retrenched sales ladies feel renewed sense of hope as economy reopens MANILA – Rose Leyretana thought her 29 years at Tutuban Center had reached its end when Metro Manila was placed under strict community quarantine last March 2020. “Magmula nang magbukas ang Tutuban Center, doon na ako nagtatrabaho. Hindi ko lubos maisip na sa isang iglap, matatapos na ‘yong tatlong dekada kong kabuhayan,” she said. Leyretana, 52, is the most tenured sales lady at Anding’s Toys & Flowers, Inc. She has been with the business since its early days and is one of its most hardworking employees, according to owner Malou Yulit. And while it was heart-breaking to temporarily close her business, Yulit had no choice but to send her employees home. “Talagang ubos po ang savings naming mag-asawa. Iyong mister ko rin po ay nawalan ng hanap-buhay,” Leyretana said. “Kaya talagang naiyak ako sa saya noong tinawagan ako ni Boss Malou at sinabihan na magbubukas uli kami.” In the middle of the lockdown, Ayala Land launched the “Tutubuy,” an e-commerce platform dubbed online Divisoria, where shoppers can order products from tenants of Tutuban Center and have them delivered to their doorstep.

DA-10 Executive Director Carlene Collado said the agency’s 4K program supports the wholeof-nation approach of Executive Order No. 70 which formed the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC). “DA is providing livelihood opportunities to the IPs to enhance their agricultural productivity and eventually increase their income,” he said in a statement also on Saturday. Lt. Jameson Salubre of the Army’s 16th Infantry Battalion graced the event which he said is a vital tool in achieving peace and development. “Locals from remote and strife-torn areas have felt care and support through the joint efforts of the different national government agencies. We are pinning our hopes that they will remain in the government’s fold and help us boost the development of Northern Mindanao,” he said in another statement. April Grace Racines, DA-10’s 4K focal person, said the program aims to capacitate the IPs through community organizing, agricultural skills training, and workshops to increase knowledge and productivity. “The 4K is a three-year special project of DA where it provides assistance to the indigenous cul-

tural communities and IPs in the form of agricultural and fisheriesrelated livelihood opportunities,” she said. DA-10 likewise allocated PHP13.94 million worth of projects under the Special Area for Agricultural Development program, which will be distributing free-range chickens, goats, and cattle multipliers to 18 farmers’ associations in 16 towns in the provinces of Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, and Misamis Occidental.

technology, HAL devices are designed to support the physical therapy of patients suffering from neurological conditions. Led by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, the turnover ceremony was also attended by POC Medical Center Chief Dr. Jose Brittano Pujalte Jr. and OP Deputy Executive Secretary for Finance and Administration (DESFA) Rizalina Justol. To ensure that the funds are fully liquidated and utilized effectively for their intended purpose, the OP-DESFA shall conduct a Financial and Physical Performance Evaluation. The POC, in turn, shall submit an audited report of disbursements and refund unutilized funds to the OP upon completion of the project. After the ceremony, Go privately discussed with POC doctors his intent of helping amputees get prosthetic devices to help them overcome any physical, social, or emotional challenges they face in their daily lives. “Naniniwala ako na hindi dapat maging hadlang ang kahit na ano mang kapansanan para magkaroon ng komportableng buhay. Kaya sa abot ng aking makakaya, nais ko makatulong sa ating mga amputated patients na mabigyan sila ulit ng pagasa upang makalakad ulit,” he expressed. Go, for his part, highlighted the need to invest in the country’s healthcare system and ensure access to those who need help from the government especially for their medical concerns. “Importante na ating binibigyang halaga ang mga hakbang tulad nito para sa ikabubuti ng mamamayang Pilipino lalo na sa

sektor ng kalusugan dahil sa ganitong paraan ay nahihikayat natin ang isa’t isa na ipagpatuloy ang suporta sa mga ganitong klaseng inisyatibo para sa ikauunlad ng healthcare system ng bansa,” the senator earlier said. He also acknowledged the hard work of medical frontliners who continue to make valuable contributions and sacrifices to safeguard the well-being of every Filipino patient especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “I would like to thank our doctors, nurses, caregivers, and frontliners who – despite the challenges that pandemic brings – continue to selflessly provide healthcare especially to those afflicted with cancer,” Go expressed. As a firm advocate of quality healthcare for all Filipinos, Go primarily authored and sponsored the Malasakit Centers Act, which provides particularly poor and indigent patients convenient access to medical assistance programs from concerned agencies, such as the Department of Health, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. There are currently 149 Malasakit Centers nationwide, including one at POC, that have assisted over three million Filipinos. “Dati po, hihingi kayo ng tulong sa apat na ahensiya ng gobyerno. Lunes, pipila kayo sa hospital. Martes, pipila kayo sa PCSO. Miyerkules, pipila kayo sa DOH. Huwebes, DSWD. Biyernes, PhilHealth. Ubos ‘yung panahon ninyo sa kakapila para humingi ng tulong,” the senator noted. “Sabi ko, bakit ba natin pinapahirapan ang mga Pilipino kung pera naman nila ‘yan. Kaya nung naging senador ako, itinulak ko ang Malasakit Centers Act. Target nito ay ‘zero balance’ para wala ng babayaran ang mga poor at indigent. Kaya naman itong Malasakit Center ay para po ‘yan sa inyong minamahal kong Pilipino,” he added. Furthermore, the lawmaker had successfully pushed for the enactment of 24 local hospital

The DAR Central Office rendered an order sustaining the revocation of the Approved Conversion Order in January 2021. In August of the same year, an appeal of both the cancellation of the Conversion Order was interposed by JCADI to the Office of the President. At this point, the Secretary said that they have already received news that the case has a resolution in favor of the farmers and they are just waiting for a more detailed order from the Office of the President.

Why is Action Research Essential in Teaching and Learning? By: MARITES O. LAGAMON Teacher-III Bongbongon Elementary School

Teachers’ engagement in Action Research is one of the avenues for a meaningful teaching and learning process. This is so teachers can look for an appropriate intervention to address and focus classroom problems or issues especially to the at-risk learners. What makes Action Research important is it improves practices of learning and teaching while enriching teacher’s capabilities. It contributes knowledge and skill development, practical improvement, and policy information. Therefore, educators can use those research findings to improve their competencies in teaching and learning methods.

Moreover, action research is one of the processes to educational research that is generally used by educators and other professionals

to examine thus develop teaching practices. In this manner, action research represents an expansion of the critical self-reflection that a teacher employs in their classroom on a daily basis. When pupils are actively engaged in learning, the learning environment can be self-motivated. More so, great action research can transform the traditional methods and approaches the way teachers do to a more simplified and modern techniques of teaching. This is useful and important enough to enhance teacher’s classroom practices and share improved teaching ideas. In essence of the many methods to action research, recognizing the potential purposes inside the classroom helps move the path to a more extensive and critical reflection. As such, it can be documented and analyzed to improve teacher’s practices since action research provides a massive improvement of knowledge on areas correlated to teaching and learning.

by Ike Naduma and me would plan our course of action at the Andres Bonifacio HQs until February 28, 1986. We conducted Noise Barrage and Lightning Rallies, and plqyed the Bayan Ko song whenever we felt wary of things happening in our country under the Marcos regime. R.A. Uy provided us a TV set and played the Ninoy Aquino brutal assassination. When Antique Opposition Leader Evelio Javier was brutally killed, we marched and protested by holding Light a Candle ceremony at Andres Bonifacio with Xavier University President Father Javier who delivered his first outburst by lambasting the Marcos dictatorship, while Roy Raagas waved the Philippine Flag alongside by his beautiful girlfriend. The military in full battle gears tried to stop our operations by conducting an early dawn mock attack at our Bonifacio HQs, trying to scare us,but we were fearless then and willing to die for a right cause to restore Democracy through peaceful means as taught to us by Senator Nene Pimentel who embraced the Ghandi principle of good governance. Eventually the YCD Bonifacio HQs became a venue of free expression by the Cagay-anons. Our battlecry was No to Marcos and Never Again to conjugal dictatorship! Kagayanons are brave people and kind and believe it or not, our YCD was well provided with unlimited foods and drinks by fellow Cagay-anons. This is the reason why we were able to sustain our operations until the February 25 EDSA peaceful revolt. When the news came that Marcos left the Palace, we celebrated to the max with a Fiestalike revelry — a one of a kind happiness and joy, alas freedom and democracy recaptured by the Filipino people through peaceful means. In February 28, 1986, I was asked to come to Manila to join the celebration of the recaptured Democracy, and it was my first plane ride via PAL. I was born in Osmeña Street. I am happy and proud to have a Cagay-anon DNA. Dr. Jose Rizal said that the youth is the Hope of the Fatherland. I urged our youth of today to study the history of our country — that we were raped by Spain for more than 300 years, controlled by America for another 50 years, Japan for 4 years and by Marcos for 20 years. To exist is the easiest way as expectator. But to live is participatory. We must embrace freedom and democracy. Our love for others must always prevail in our hearts and in our minds. We are all stewards of God’s creation. Let us not be swayed by the sweet smell of the people’s money. Let us serve our city the best we can do by applying the principles of good governance instilled to us by the late Sen. Nene Pimentel.

which reign to give life be now devoid of breath? The bay has always been like a mother to us, as we bountifully reaped its blessings. Fishing lies at the heart of our culture, the fisherfolk its careful guardians. The bay is now facing a crisis, representing a danger to coastal people. Soon we will see a time when the unavoidable reality of hunger will stalk the earth again. Then how heavily will the meaning of a single fish weigh in our human heart! Pray sons and daughters of the Earth that the bay be restored to life.” That was how amazing these poor fisherfolk are! But now, they are facing another problem: the horrible violation of their human rights. Food, shelter, clothing and livelihood are basic needs of the human beings. From their end,

as fisherfolk, they have to protect Macajalar Bay because the bay provides them with their basic needs on food and livelihood and allowed to live in the seashore area. Now, the land had been recently titled, without their knowledge. A land title for them is just a piece of paper; their more than 50 years of residency has already vested upon them greater right of ownership, living there first as single, then becoming parents and now as grandparents. They have been working so hard to give their children and grandchildren a dignified and decent life. Almost all of children are now professionals and even beautified their homes into concrete two-storey houses. Now, they were told that their houses will be demolished as a court order will soon be issued. For the Community Environment Officer in the area, CENRO Conrad Mahinay, he was so puzzled why a land title was issued without his knowledge because the seashore area is under DENR’s jurisdiction. Even an official of the Register of Deeds was so puzzled why such issuance was done without even informing the fisherfolk-residents as they already have acquired vested right of ownership. The affected fisher-residents are now so puzzled knowing that in this country, no one is above the law, all must bow down to the majesty of the law because we follow the rule of law and not of men. But it is now appearing that it is the rule of the powerful and the rule of money that is more powerful. Thus, while before these fisherfolk had been fighting to protect the environment, not minding threats to life, this time, with a firm collective intent, they will stand and fight for their basic human rights. As stated in their “Manifesto” they are willing to give up their lives to give a decent life to their families and not to be treated as “disposable wastes” that can be evicted anytime by the will of the powerful buyer! Is the ownership of the rich means the dispossession of the poor? Indeed they are not disposable wastes to be evicted based on a questionable land title. They may be poor fisherfolk but they were compassionate members of an ecological movement Task Force Macajalar that in 1993 was a recipient of the Public Service Award from Xavier University, an international recognition from the Friends of the United Nations in Ottawa, Canada in 1995 for protecting the environment and a national awardee in 2014 of PhilHealth of the Local Hero Award. These poor fisherfolk were the frontliners of Task Force Macajalar. While these amazing institutions are recognizing them as environmental heroes, why are they being treated as disposable wastes and are to be evicted in utter disregard of their vested right of more than 50 years of residency? As decided by the DENR, such title will be the subject of an investigation, but still they are being threatened to be evicted, thus, they are now firmly standing and fighting for their human rights and request for due process of law. Task Force Macajalar with its thousands of members will also stand for them, be legally and thru extra-legal means. All human rights defenders, JOIN US!

In this time of Covid-19, we have prepared ourselves to work under new normal conditions,” she told the Philippine News Agency. Students and faculty members were deployed for free medical consultations and laboratory testing and distribution of free medicines during the annual activity to mark the school’s foundation day. The 35-year-old Capinpuyan said he had talked to people hesitant to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. “What we found from our simulated learning in communities was the reality of people’s misconceptions about the vaccine. They thought because they have comorbidities, they should avoid the vaccine,” he said. Dr. Emma Pilar Imperio, Medical Officer III of the Department of Health-Region 10, earlier said the public should avail of vaccines while they are still free. “Vaccines are safe and effective. It is very safe for our children. When we are vaccinated, we are protected,” she said during the vaccination rollout for children in Iligan City last week. (PNA)

Kaakay beneficiaries from Tondo, Manila. “We are thankful to be part of this program to help our fellow Filipinos, especially those who now have to start over after losing their livelihood during the pandemic,” Dy noted. One of the recipients is Elena Rondario, a single mother of four, who also lost her job when the pandemic hit. “Napakahirap po para sa isang single mom na katulad ko,” Rondario said. “Hindi ko po alam kung saan kami pupulutin. Sagad na po ang budget para sa renta pa lang.” When she lost her job, she sidelined as a volunteer in her barangay. “Para lang po may pambili ng bigas,” she quipped, adding that she really had a hard time making ends meet with the little honoraria she received from her barangay. Luckily, she was able to work again at the Tutuban night market when the mall reopened. She also became a beneficiary of #BrigadangAyalaKaakay, a 12week food distribution program where 10,000 urban poor families receive a weekly supply of rice, fresh vegetables, canned goods, and bread that will cover four square meals for a family of five. “Tamang-tama po ang timing ng Kaakay dahil parang nagsisimula uli kami,” Rondario said. “Sa tulong ng mga pagkain na ibinibigay ng Kaakay, unti-unti ko nang nahahabol ‘yong mga utang ko sa renta, kuryente, at tubig.”
