BBM won 2022 polls pledging unity; re-building of economy By MDN Reportorial Team

Marcos

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - No less than NHK World’s Manila bureau chief, Sakai Noriyuki opined that Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has earned the trust of younger voters in the country’s election campaign by pledging national unity and rebuilding the economy as his main platform of governance. Bong-bong ran on a platform of “unity” and vowed to create more jobs, lower prices, and more investment in agriculture and infra-

structure and continue the legacy of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. These, according to political analysts, appealed to younger Filipinos who detest the political bickerings and promises of progress and economic reform from past Duterte administrations who have failed to benefit them and the masses. His massive win in actual count vindicated opinion and survey polls that showed him leading by more than 30 percentage points until See WON, page 11

Education: Most Essential Tool for Everyone JUVELYN BORRES GALINADA Teacher III Ampianga Elementary School DepEd Sugbongcogon District

The most important instrument in achieving a successful life is education. It encourages everyone to take the initiative and excel in creating positive outcomes that can lead to recognition and achievement. It provides everyone the ability to think critically in both directions, allowing them to make better decisions in order to cope with and handle various obstacles in life. So to say, it gives everybody the incentives they needed to advance on their own chosen pathways in life. The Philippine Educational System changed to a new and more dynamic curriculum that followed a 12-year program to align the country’s curriculum and fulfill the needs of the global market, where quality and relevant basic education has become a must for everyone. Implementation of K-12 programs with the goal of producing more proficient pupils with basic skills for lifelong learning and employment. Because they were able to master the abilities and learn the core competencies required to satisfy the expectations of the global market, this program encouraged mutual recognition of Filipino learners and professionals in other nations. Since learners had

to graduate at the age of 18, this new program developed learners who were equipped for jobs, entrepreneurship, and middle-level skill development. The government introduced K to 12 projects to improve the country’s educational system and speed up mutual recognition of Filipino graduates and professionals around the world. Learners were able to master skills and acquire core competencies, both of which are necessary to fulfill global market demand. To come up with a broad idea that answers the major objectives of this research review, this analysis used a systematic technique and review design. This study looked into the diverse opinions of teachers, parents, and students on the implementation of the K-12 program in the Philippines, which added two years to the time it takes a student to finish high school. It also outlined the many concerns that develop as a result of the implementation of this new program, as well as the government’s action plans to resolve them. Furthermore, to give recommendations that will assist improve the curriculum so that excellent education can be provided to all of the students who will be enrolled in this new program.***

What is bilingual education? By: SARAH M. VOSOTROS Teacher III Governor Pelaez ES Medina South District

Bilingual education is the process of teaching students using two languages. Educators usually teach students in their native language in conjunction with a second language utilizing differing levels of the native and second language depending on the requirements specified in lesson plans and teaching models. Students can benefit in many ways from participating in bilingual education programs or classrooms. Some of the benefits of bilingual education relate to intellect. For example, research has shown that students who can speak and write in multiple languages have cognitive advantages over their monolingual peers. Those who learn a second or third language from a young age are able to develop communication skills and a higher degree of literacy. Children who grow up in bilingual environments develop a keen awareness of how language works and have a stronger foundation

for learning additional languages in the future. Students can also benefit academically from bilingual education. Students who pursue higher education are typically required to take a foreign language at the collegiate level, so those who have been exposed to bilingual educational environments before college—and speak two or more languages—have an advantage over their peers. They can advance in their studies and feel comfortable with multiple communities of students on their campuses. More so, while there are many benefits of bilingual education related to school and work, bilingual education programs also have a huge impact on students’ cultural and social growth. Children who grow up speaking English as a second language often come from culturally diverse backgrounds. Incorporating cultural education in the classroom can help create enriching academic experiences for all students.

Grace Carmel Paredes-Bravo and former town councilor Arth Ryan Palabrica of the “Team Gugma Sa Lungsod” who were running as mayor and vice mayor respectively trounced reelectionists Mayor Solomon Rufila and Vice Mayor Bernardino Ursos with a landslide win.

TREASURES

By LOVERN GRACE D. ASOK, Teacher III Naawan Central School Naawan, Misamis Oriental

Treasure is relevant to everyone. If shared and others have chance. To make use and spend for buying and paying things so relevant. A penny cannot be a treasure If oneself and other people Can no make use and spend it at all. Even for medicine of someone dying. Anything, how big or small it is Can be a treasure if it means useful To most people, starving and needing. Share with your heart to the disabled, Handicapped, to the depressed people in the hinterlands, most especially among pupils. Treasure brings peace to every place, When sharing is happening to toast up Those who are down and falling. Just love and be an example for all Especially to these having much, much treasure.

Land of the Brave & the Free

HAVE you been to Wao? It is a very progressive town in Lanao del Sur with some 44,000 people now which was originally a community of the Maranaos. It was declared a Resettlement Area in the early 50s and in 1953 up to 1957, 18,000 hectares of Wao was declared an “open land” for distribution to settlers, the first batch of settlers of sixty families arrived after the government got the consent of no less than Sultan Mamaco Salipada and his family as Wao then was the “kaingin range” of the Sultan’s family. Records show that Sultan Mamaco officially met and welcomed the Christian settlers. That trail-blazing move of welcoming the settlers had since then saw the continuing arrivals of hundreds, if not thousands of settlers, coming from different parts of the country, i.e., the Ivatans from the province of Batanes, the Igorots from Banaue, the Ilocanaos from Ilocos, the Ilongos from Negros, the Tagalogs from Manila, the Pampaguenos from Pampanga, the Muslims from Jolo, Sulu and those tenants coming from everywhere else in the coun-

try who were tilling land not their own. Coming to Wao was a great liberation from hunger and poverty and all the settlers where so thankful then because they were not only recipients of a six- hectare area per farming family but also of working animals, farming tools and food sustenance for three years. Wow, so great of you President Ramon Magsayasay, the man of the masses. This truism is based on the narratives of Dr. Jesus Guiab in his amazing book, “Lives in the Hands of God. He added that , ”the government, acknowledging Mamaco Salipada as Sultan of Wao, leader and the original tribal owner of Wao, appointed the Sultan as the first Mayor of Wao when on February 22, 1961, Wao became a town under an Executive Order issued by President Carlos P. Garcia.” With different tribes, creed and culture converging in Wao to make life better for their families and to correct a great social injustice of tilling the land not their own where farming benefits everyone except those who work under the excruciating heat of the sun,

Orlan R. Ravanera

the poor farmers, Wao can indeed be called, the land of the brave and the free. If you were coming then from the Visayas or Luzon, Mindanao is the last place that you will reside as Mindanao was known then as the site of the “2nd longest war in the world – the Mindanao war, the Christian and Moslem Conflict.” Those who dared to live in Mindanao could be described then as adventurers and brave enough who are willing to face threatening and a dangerous life to be free from poverty, inequity and social injustice. Such convergence of the different tribes has made Wao a “little Philippines,” as described by Dr. Guiab. What is so amazing in Dr. Guiab’s book is that the excellent doctor did not only pour out narration on Wao’s interesting historical backdrop but gave an in-depth analysis. He narrated that on Feb.12,1973, a group of Christians came to his house to tell there was an on-going exchange of See LAND, page 11

Have my say

BEAT THE BLUES!

WHAT does “beat the blues” mean? Without context, I would suppose it to mean “to overcome a blue mood or tendency toward feeling depressed.” The more rainy days like at the moment - the more people feel low. Not really depressed but a bit lackluster. Especially during Sundays or the first days of a longer vacation. Living in the Philippines is also much more different than in my home country Germany. As an expatriate, I learned to change my lifestyle here. I don’t want to give suggestions or advice “about what to eat and to drink”, or, better “what NOT”! Other experts and fellow columnists might do that much better. However, I experienced myself that some simple things are really working well: Distract yourself: the last thing you should do is lying in the bed wallowing in self-pity. It’s better to distract yourself with a dose of normality. Watching a movie (possibly not a drama or tragedy!) or even cleaning the kitchen on a Sunday can help. Important is, that you move away from where you feel bad. I mostly love to re-arrange my office at home or do a simple walk around into nature. It really does miracles. Forgive someone: when

you forgive someone or even yourself, you release anger and resentment that’s bogging you down. If you remain angry, you’re carrying all the negatives of the day and maybe from the whole world. Check the news: there is already enough negativism. Natural disasters, war, corruption, incompetent politicians, bullying neighbours etc. etc. Switch to realistic thinking: the happy medium between rose-tinted positive thinking and beat-yourselfup-negativity is when you can say, “Okay, I am having a bad day, but it doesn’t make me feel a failure”, instead of, “I feel awful and/or my life is awful”. The last will only make you feel worse. Develop a positive attitude: I met several expatriates, who love to complain about everything and everyone. I try my best to stay away from them. Nowhere on earth is paradise! Examine your thoughts and perceptions, and replace unhelpful thoughts patterns with a more positive approach. The difference between a happy person and someone who is really depressed isn’t that one has all the world’s luck. But, they perceive what’s happening to them differently. Do a life audit: some people become stuck in a

Klaus Doring

rut because they don’t take time to work out where they are heading. Try to make decisions to change your life and ask yourself what is getting in your way and what can you do about it. It is the same principle as going through your cupboards and tossing out the clothes that don’t fit you any more. If there are no uses, they are just cluttering your life. And remember, you might even laugh about it later. Stop crying to “cope” (making sure everything goes smoothly!) and deal with life more simply. Whether it’s the weather, trouble at work or a broken heart, if you are dragging yourself through the day like a little slug of sadness I’ve got these ways to improve your mood that are free, easy and involve chocolate and hugs. +++ Ideas, comments or suggestions?

ADM Expands Philippines Animal Nutrition Footprint with Feed Mill Acquisition in Southern Mindanao CEBU CITY, PHILIPPINES, May 10, 2022 — ADM (NYSE: ADM), a global leader in animal nutrition, announced today the acquisition of a feed mill in Polomolok, South Cotabato, from South Sunrays Milling Corporation.

Brain Drain: A Primary Issue in the Philippine Education System JUVELYN BORRES GALINADA Teacher III Ampianga Elementary School DepEd Sugbongcogon District

There are three agencies that handle the different levels of the Philippines education system: The Department of Education superintends basic education. The Commission on Higher Education manages tertiary and graduate education, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) manages technical-vocational courses and middle education. The majority of the issues in the Philippines’ education system are due to a lack of funding, poor teacher salaries, a lack of classrooms, and a lack of laboratory facilities. Furthermore, there is a lack of educational equality between areas: government policy favors schools in Manila, whereas places farthest from the capital have lower students’ performance. Despite these problems, the Philippines’ education

system is regarded as one of the most advanced in Asia, with rates of basic education completion, higher education participation, and adult literacy equivalent to those of significantly more developed economies such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea. One of the primary issues in the Philippine education system, like in many other developing countries, is ‘brain drain,’ or the departure of intelligent students, graduates, and teachers to other countries. With this, there is a possibility of continues migration of Filipino professionals like our health personnel, medical and technical workers in search of the better living and better life, higher salaries, access to advanced technology and firm political conditions in many places worldwide.***

Consistent effort: A must in any organization By: SARAH M. VOSOTROS Teacher III Governor Pelaez ES Medina South District

Consistency is important in the actions of leadership and in messaging. Once a culture has been defined leaders then need to encourage the right behavior with the right actions. For example, if an organization’s senior leaders preach wellbeing, then drive hard projects and hard

deadlines with overwhelming force, it’s not consistent. There’s a disconnect between the idea of culture and the experience of it. In order to improve and maintain a culture, senior leaders need to take the time to define what a good culture will actually look like

in this year’s election. The whole slate who won in the two towns were formally proclaimed in May 10 while the entire slate of the unopposed reelectionists slate at the provincial level were proclaimed May 11, at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan session hallof the provincial capitol. The reelected provincial officials comprised of Rep. Adolph Edward Plaza of the second district, Rep. Alfelito Bascug of the first district, Gov. Santiago Cane, Jr., Vice Gov. Samuel Tortor and the five provincial board members each from the two districts.

Incoming mayor Cuyos got 15, 770 votes while Abulog had 12,544 votes. Cuyos running mate De Paz got 14,256 votes while the mayor’s sibling had 12,343 votes. In San Francisco, ParedesBravo lambasted Rufila with 23,853 votes as againts the mayor’s 15, 729 votes while her running mate Palabrica trounced Vice Mayor Ursos with 21,879 votes as against Vice Mayor Ursos’ 14,605 votes. Interestingly, Paredes-Bravo’s party-mate Vanjune Napao at the Sangguniang Bayan members race won by just one vote to made it to the eight and last slot. Napao defeated reelectionist Lito Tandag with 12, 333 votes after Tandog got 12, 332 votes.

in your company (not what business school textbooks or the latest hot trend says). It means taking the time to understand the people in your organization, and the culture that is already in place, before trying to fix anything. When you have a clear understanding of where you want to go, then you can set up processes that support everyone in the organization to consistently put it into practice. Of course, changing culture starts with the team level and works up. A common

mistake that senior leaders often make is thinking that their organization has just one culture — one that they can define from the top. This is true to a degree, and leaders need to have a vision of where they want their organization to go. However, our data has shown that a company’s culture is made of lots of micro-cultures. Every team faces different challenges and reacts differently to them partly because of circumstance but also due to the unique mix of personalities in the team.

gunshots between Christians and Moslems and in his pajamas, rode the jeep to the place where the shooting was – in the house of no less than Sultan Mamaco Salipada. It was the height of the Ilagas offensive led by Commander Kidlat. As narrated by those present, “Dr. Guiab walked into the melee and asked everyone to stop . Kung hindi dumating si Dr. Guiab, patay na sana si Sultan Mamaco. The good doctor saved his life.” In my dialogue with Dr. Guiab, I asked him why must he put himself in the fire zone when he could have been killed? He told me that the death of Sultan Mamaco could have triggered an all-out-war between Christians and Moslems with the involvement of “Blackshirts” and ISIS combatants and Wao would not be livable anymore.” I told the good doctor that you are not only saving lives by being an excellent doctor and for free at that but also curing the ailments of society. Indeed, there is no greater love on earth that one man willing to sacrifice his life so that hundreds, if not thousands will live. Wao is indeed “a little Philippines,” meaning, if you can unify the divergent people in Wao, the same strategy can be applied all over the country. It is in this context that the book of Dr, Guiab can contribute so much to the unification of Wao. How? First, we must have a clear analysis on the root cause of the problem. Is the divergence of beliefs, of doctrines, or religions be a contributing factor? Dr. Guiab somehow mentioned in his book the fallacies of life and religions as difference of beliefs can lead to killing, as history tells us that truism. “Your religion, your belief is different from mine and therefore you must be killed!” Oh, such is a diabolic mindset! God has made man in His own image and likeness but man has reduced the image of God to his own image! Our lives in in the hands of God, as Dr. Guiab clearly narrated in his book and that should be the essence of one’s belief for peace to triumph against diabolical mind! Six score years ago when Sultan Mamaco allowed the Christians to occupy the choicest of lands in Wao, the Maranaos’ ancestral domain, never had they thought then that there will come a time that the Maranaos will be displaced and to live in continuing poverty while the Christian-occupants had significantly leaped forward socially, ecologically and economically. Dr. Guiab’s analysis that such perception that social injustice and gross inequities have loomed against the interest of the Maranaos will lead to a troubled Wao. Well, such is RES IPSA LOQUITOR. Look at the bigger Phillippines. Isn’t it now ruled and controlled by a few oligarchs? Who decides? Who controls? Who benefits? From our rich resoures? Only a few elites, conglomerates and oligarchs while the bulk of the people are living in extreme poverty? Yes, be it in Wao or in the country, let us counter violent extremism by drawing those in the margins into the mainstream of development process. No one shall be left behind especially our brothers and sisters Maranaos who once welcomed the Christians to live in their ancestral domain but now are living in poverty. As. Dr. Guiab would aptly express, let us help the least of our brethren for people, planet, prosperity and peace. Let us therefore uproot the causes of war – poverty, inequity and social injustice. That had happened before during the ten-year mayorship of an amazing lawyer, Atty. Remedios Galutera Guiab, the lovely wife of Dr. Jesus Guiab from 1988 to 1998 when peace reigned in Wao and became a developmental show-window, not only in Mindanao but in the whole country. The good mayor had empowered the poor and the vulnerable to be drawn into the mainstream of development. She was an excellent mayor who brought Wao to greater heights. As

an excellent transformative leader for people, planet, prosperity and peace, she had underscored the truism to be one and be connected with the Eternal Being – be God or Allah as there is only one God and our lives are in His hands,. During her stint, Wao did prove equal to its moniker, Wonderful Agricultural Opportunities and We Are One (WAO).

Monday’s elections. Robredo, who presented her platforms on promoting good governance, transparency and human rights, failed to come up with even 50 percent of the numbers that Bongbong got. On the other hand, Bongbong’s campaign also stressed on his father’s legacy, with his slogan “rise again” which older voters nod who reminisce the period under Marcos Sr as a golden era of the Philippines. Supporters of the Marcos family say the period was a time of progress and prosperity, characterized by the building of major infrastructure like hospitals, roads and bridges. . Analysts say there is an opportunity for a reset of the Philippines’ relationships with both major powers -- and the outcome of the vote could shift the balance of power in Asia. Marcos tells world to judge him by actions, not family’s past as he vowed on to work for all people after his stunning election victory.” Judge me by my presidency, not on my family’s past,” Bongbong said. He became the first candidate in recent history to win an outright majority in a presidential election. “Judge me not by my ancestors, but by my actions,” Marcos told the world, according to a statement by his spokesperson Vic Rodriguez. “This is a victory for all Filipinos, and for democracy,” Rodriguez added.. “To those who voted for Bongbong, and those who did not, it is his promise to be a president for all Filipinos. To seek common ground across political divides, and to work together to unite the nation,” hius camp said. Marcos in his statement said he would begin delivering for the Filipino people and looked forward to working with international partners and organisations. The Marcos family has denied wrongdoing and many of its supporters, bloggers and social media influencers say historical accounts are distorted. A big win for Marcos was securing President Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter as his vice presidential running mate. Sara Duterte-Carpio won more than three times the number of votes compared with her nearest rival and also likely broadened the Marcos appeal in many areas. Marcos, who shied away from debates and interviews in the campaign, recently praised his father as a genius and statesman Marcos has given few clues about his policy agenda, but is expected to closely follow outgoing President Duterte, who favoured big infrastructure works, close ties with China and strong growth. Why did young Filipinos vote for Bongbong Marcos? The Marcos name is either the greatest gift or the worst disadvantage for an aspiring politician. It could either mean a shining legacy or a dark burden, owing either to the gains of the Marcos years or

Saturday, May 14, 2022 the consequences of martial law and the dramatic 1986 ouster from Malacañang. Yet Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. walked through those flames to regain his footing in Philippine politics after returning from exile in Hawaii. Marcos survived the post-Edsa years with a career rebuilt in the solid Marcos north (he served as representative for the second district of Ilocos Norte and then governor of Ilocos Norte). In 2010, Marcos won a seat as a Senator of the republic, with his 12,372,118 votes representing the seventh largest number of votes in the Senate race that year. This victory indicates that Marcos had a wider popularity than just the north, something that outraged anti-Marcos activists. In the months before the May 9 election, mock polls in universities showed that Marcos was a popular choice among students, finishing second at Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University, even topping the polls at University of Santo Tomas and Arellano University. This happened despite protests and warnings against “revisionist history.” True enough, Marcos performed very well during the actual election, finishing a very close second to Liberal Party candidate Leni Robredo with 14,155,344 votes, just over 250,000 less than the winning number. Marcos’ camp claimed the Robredo margin was the result of cheating, and last June 29, filed an electoral protest, stating that the certificates of canvass were not authentic. Acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, the Supreme Court on Aug. 2 asked Robredo to respond to the protest in 10 days, while issuing a Precautionary Protection Order for the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to preserve all election returns being questioned for manual recount, judicial revision and technical examination. With Robredo stating the protest is “baseless,” the case rolls on. With over half the voting population between the ages of 18 and 34, Marcos has indeed proved popular among the younger voters. John, a 22-year-old college senior, stated a common sentiment: Marcos was not to blame for what his father did. “I voted for Bongbong Marcos, because I don’t believe that he would end up like his father.” YLA, a 21-year-old student, said Marcos’ performance during the televised presidential debate convinced her: “He handled and expressed himself well, from the issues hurled at him regarding his family to his plans for the country.” Cali, a 30-year-old product manager, said, “I thought he had the best qualities as vice president for the 2016 elections as compared to the other candidates.” JD, a 23-year-old government employee, said, “I feel him, unlike the other candidates.” All four were born after 1986, and they all acknowledge that terrible things happened during the Marcos era, something they learned from school and their family. But it wasn’t all bad, they said. “I didn’t experience it firsthand, but I honestly think that during that time people had no freedom of speech, since everything was controlled by the government,” Cali said. “I pity those who

fell victim to martial law,” added YLA. “Also, I pity the Marcoses, because they were forced to steal government property. What happened was too much.” JD had the strongest opinion: “What I know is during their era, the Philippines was next to Japan in terms of power and money in Asia. A strong government was formed, many projects were built, the gross national product of the country was high, the people of the republic were secure compared to today, many individuals were employed, less people were starving. “These were the good things President Ferdinand Marcos did that I know about, but the sad reality is that he abused his authority, and many people died with no conclusive evidence that they were guilty of their crime or actions.” Despite what they heard from their family, media and school, the four didn’t agree that Marcos shared the blame for what his father did. YLA explained, “What’s in the past is in the past. BBM’s term would have been an opportunity to prove himself and to show that his family is not plain evil.” John added, “The things his father did should not be passed on to Bongbong Marcos. He was a better choice, and his family history will not change my previews on him.” More than just a specific Marcos phenomenon, it would be a matter of accurately recounting Philippine history. “It’s not about raw pieces of information, or isolated stories of the disappeared that circulate on Facebook,” said David. “We need the narrative, the whole history, what happened in those years and what were the long-term ramifications on the country’s politics, economics and development.” If there is anything to be taken from May 9 and its aftermath, the story of Ferdinand Marcos Jr.—and the ultimate legacy of his controversial, powerful family name—has many unpredictable chapters left to be told.

Commission on Elections (Comelec) director here said Thursday. Commission on Elections – Northern Mindanao (Comelec-10) Director Francisco Pobe said issues about paper jams on vote-counting machines (VCMs) were manageable and school teachers who acted as election board members were well-trained on the process as well as on contingency plans. “Whoever won is considered the true winner and those who lost really failed to come up with the winning number,” Pobe said. Lt. Col. Michelle Olaivar, spokesperson of the Police Regional Office-10 said they received a complaint about power interruption and malfunctioning VCMs in Munai, Lanao del Norte. “The technical people, deployed by the Comelec were there, and they immediately addressed the concern,” Olaivar said. Olaivar noted that the region had generally peaceful conduct of elections despite the problem in Munai town. In Misamis Oriental, Col. Raniel Valones, the provincial police chief, said they recorded 11 election-related arrests made during the May 9 polls. Valones said 1,646 personnel were deployed in the province, utilizing 57 mobile patrols, 59 issued motorcycles, and 13 personal

motorcycles. Lt. Col. Ricky Canatoy, the Army’s 58th Infantry Battalion commander, said while they focused on the conflict-affected areas in Misamis Oriental, they also conducted mobile patrol rounds before, during, and after the election in their area of responsibility. “We planned everything from the start to ensure that our area would have a peaceful election, and we succeeded through our collaborative efforts with other agencies and institutions,” he said in a statement. Failure of elections in Lanao Sur Meanwhile, 15 barangays in Tubaran, Lanao del Sur were declared by Comelec to have a “failure of elections.” Brig. Gen. Jose Maria Cuerpo 11, the Army’s 103rd Infantry Brigade commander, said such a

declaration was due to discussions between specific candidates and the town election officer as to how elections should take place in the voting areas. Cuerpo said the concern has resulted in a misunderstanding and voters were not able to cast their votes in the affected polling centers. Lawyer Joyce Moran, the provincial election supervisor, confirmed Cuerpo’s statement but maintained that Comelec will still conduct further verification on the matter. Tubaran town has earlier been declared one of the four areas in Lanao del Sur province placed under Comelec control. The three other areas were Marawi City and the municipalities of Maguing and Malabang. (With a report from Nef Luczon/PNA)

Strengthening integrity among teaching personnel By: SARAH M. VOSOTROS Teacher III Governor Pelaez ES Medina South District

Ethics are involved in many of our professional decisions everyday and they affect us as individuals and also those around us. The Oxford English dictionary defines ethics as: “The moral principles governing or influencing conduct.” When we are dishonest, not only do we lose the trust of others, but we also undermine our own integrity and it can be a double-edged sword at times. What may seem right to one person can seem unspeakable to another. Being aware of how to make ethical decisions is essential practice in the workplace. You could say that integrity is always doing the right thing, even when no one is looking, and even when the choice isn’t easy. Or, you might see integrity as staying true to yourself and your word, even when you’re faced with serious consequences for the choic-

es that you’re making. Living a life of integrity means that we never have to spend time or energy questioning ourselves. When we listen to our hearts and do the right thing, life becomes simple. Our life, and our actions, are open for everyone to see, and we don’t have to worry about hiding anything. Your integrity is what determines your reputation, and, just as this proverb states, all it can take is a single bad choice to destroy a lifetime’s worth of integrity. That’s why it’s so critical to focus on integrity when dealing with change, including organizational changes. Things like reductions in force, winning or losing new business, or changes in leadership can potentially lead to misperceptions of inequality, decreased employee engagement and a general feeling among employees that they aren’t valued.
