How to avoid financial scams By DELILAH L. LAPING Administrative Aide VI Tangub City Division CID Office

MOST financial gurus would agree that growing your money through investing is a practical way to achieve financial freedom. Investment options such as mutual funds even allow you to grow your money without putting in so much time and effort. Ironically, this idea that you can grow your money without micro-managing your investments has opened the door for scams. These cams typically disguise themselves with the promise of easy, guaranteed returns while looking to take advantage of newbie investors. As you explore different opportunities to grow

your money, it will be crucial to avoid putting it in the hands of fraudulent albeit enticing investment opportunities. If someone is promising you investments without risk, you are getting scammed. Investing is the discipline of managing risk - the more risk you take on, the higher your potential returns. If you’re offered deals like an absurd 80 percent return in one week, then it’s best to get your cards off the table. This method is called phantom riches and is used to prey on newbie investors looking to instantly double up on their investment.

Zambo Sur cooperatives receive livelihood assistance from DAR T

HE Department of Agrarian Reform in Zamboanga del Sur recently turned over livelihood support worth P584,334 to two (2) agrar-

ian reform beneficiaries organizations (ARBOs) under the department’s Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP) project.

Bookkeeping and technology By JUVY C. DY ADAS II Mahinog Central School

THOSE changes are being driven by technology. The face of bookkeeping is changing. Software is becoming pretty accurate and bookkeeping is changing to money management – validating the automated work and advising. Bookeeping is evolving so much right now. Software innovations and new competition coming into the market have made firms to review their approach and look at alternative ways to provide services and expand their offerings. As technology changes, bookkeeping is becoming more automated and somewhat easier. Unfortunately, the automated processes can easily lead to mistakes when staff isn’t playing attention. Accountants then find themselves having to spend more time analyz-

ing if mistakes were made. Automation beats pencil and paper any day. Technology is making it easier and easier to perform the basic tasks of bookkeeping. In part because it is simply more effective to automate your accounting systems and also because engaging with an outsourced provider is a fundamental part of improving business practices, embracing accounting technology is an important step. Effective outsourcing accounting and bookkeeping requires a significant amount of transitioning to electronic and cloud-based systems. If you’ve been heavily reliant on paper reporting, hand-keyed entry and snail mail invoicing, making the transition to outsourced accounting and bookkeeping will change all of this.

A total of 267 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) belonging to the Culasian Water and Sanitation Association; and the Don Mariano Solar Lighting Association each received livelihood assistance comprising of 48 egg-laying free-range hens, a poultry house, and one tricycle. DAR Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer Judith Mantos said the livelihood assistance was provided to help farmers

earn additional household income. “The hens were provided to farmers for them to raise. They can either sell them for additional income or they can consume them if they are short on food,” said Mantos. She added that the tricycles were given to lessen the cost of transporting their poultry products to public markets. According to Mantos the ARBO members are

composed of marginalized farmers and farmworkers who largely depend on agriculture as their main source of income. However, with the covid-19 pandemic, farming can no longer suffice the families’ everyday needs and the earnings are below the poverty threshold. “As part of DAR’s hunger and poverty reduction program, we assist the farmers in improving their farming technologies through training. We also

connect them to institutional markets where they can bring their products and negotiate better prices for their goods. We call it support services package,” Mantos said. “This project of DAR a n d E PA H P i s t w o pronged. It seeks to alleviate hunger and poverty and at the same time help farmers earn additional income from livestock raising aside from their farming activities,” said Mantos.

DAR Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer Judith Mantos turns over the ceremonial key to the Don Mariano Solar Lighting Association.

SAVE for some surviving die-hard yellows now turned pink, political parties are fast in the draw in claiming Malacanang this early. Political theatrics are now happening in every corner of the land as the country prepares for another electoral exercise early next year. In fact, the blame game has already commenced on social media platforms, and party-junking shall be the name of the game to watch in the coming days. This is PH politics—unrelenting, deceptive, a labyrinth of empty rhetorics said in jest before the idol-crazed electorate. Having said that, boxing champ Manny Pacquio takes the lead in extolling ( read: faking out) the public of how he would govern this country if ever he lands in Malacanang. We are not only badly bitten by the deadly coronavirus but there is more to wallow that Manny Pacquio may likely fail to address as Malacanang aspirant.

Pacquio’s PR team knows this very well that to fix the country’s woes this time of pandemic is not a walk in the park. What is needed is a surgical operation to revive the knocked out economy due lockdowns in the past two years. Be that as it may, we as voters are entitled to listen and discern to all the presidential bets yet the dole outs cannot make this country resilient and catch up with the rest of the Asean countries. The wise electorate needs clear-cut platform that would free this country from the bondage of poverty, not just a band-aid solution to the economic woes brought about by the pandemic. It is heartening to note however that dirty money has started to roll out aimed at deceiving the poor electorate of the scents of 1000 peso bill and the five kilos of rice . Expect deceptions and party alignment to happen as

the November 15, Comelec’s substitution date draws near. The start of the campaign may come as audicious as candidates would manipulate the electorate’s mindset by way of deceptive political maneuvers, mudslinging included. Ideally, all of those vying for elective posts, notwithstanding their political persuasions have to respect the electoral process and people’s judgment via the power of the ballot. Let us take this political exercise with a grain of salt because when these politicians promise the moon and the stars, most often than not, they become the problem later, and not the solution (ruffy44_ph2000@yahoo. com)

Kim’s Dream

The Fury of Nature

Our world is in trouble not because of the pandemic but that of climate change. In his book, “This is the Way the World Ends,” Jeff Nesbit said, “Longer droughts in the Middle East are causing extreme water shortages. Growing desertification in China and Africa is creating a severe food security challenge. The monsoon season is shrinking in India, perhaps upending a century-old water cycle. Amped-up heat waves in Australia are making part of the continent unlivable. More intense hurricanes could devastate entire cities in America. Water wars in the Horn of Africa are now the root cause of armed conflict. Rebellions, refugees and starving children across the globe are becoming common place.”

As mentioned by experts, “the world won’t end, of course. Only ours will, our livelihoods, our homes, our cultures. And we’re squarely at the tipping points.” While the climate crisis is happening globally, let us focus on crisis besetting our country as the “Philippines is the 4th hardest hit country on Climate Change,” according to the United Nations’ Disaster Risk Index. It is only in the Philippines where tens of thousands were victims of ecological disasters especially those living in the vulnerable areas. Amidst the pandemic, the recent ecological tragedies experienced by our people in the form of typhoons and flooding due to continuous rains which have become more often

and more vicious causing so much havoc to both life and properties, we are now cornered and have no more options left than to hear the cries of Gaia (Mother Earth). It is time to admit the truth that we are all guilty of the sins of omissions for not being able to fulfill our mandate as God’s stewards of His vanishing creation, now threatened more than ever. We have to take cognizance of the bitter reality that our country is now facing an alarming ecological crisis, which unless soon See POOR, page 11

Hints and Traces

Dealing with our doubts about Christ

WE cannot deny that all of us can have some doubts about who Christ is and what he is to us. These days in the world in general, we can see strong evidence of a culture of skepticism, agnosticism, religious indifferentism, if not, outright atheism. This should come as no surprise to us because even during the time of Christ, many of the supposedly religious leaders were skeptical of him and were often suspicious of him, always trying to find fault in him. The quick reason for

that phenomenon is that the person of Christ is largely shrouded by mysteries that are difficult if not impossible for us to understand. That he is both God and man, that he was brought to earth through a virgin birth, are just some of the mysteries many people do not even bother to consider. There are, of course, many other reasons. Many people are lazy and do not bother to know Christ, let alone, study the gospels. And even the Bible is considered by many people as a mere collection of myths and legends. And we can

Roy Cimagala

go on and on with reasons for the lack of interest in Christ. But what we can do is first of all really to pray, to humble ourselves, realizing that the question about Christ is a matter of faith which is a supernatural gift that can only be appreciated by us if we are humble enough to accept and correspond to that gift.

Andanar highlights Duterte administration’s achievements

LIGAN CITY --Presidential Communications Secretary Martin M. Andanar presented anew the impressive legac y achie vements of Presi d ent Ro drigo Ro a Duterte which paved way for the attainment of peace, security, stability, economic prosperity, infrastructure development, and effective social services. In his video message during the launching of t h e D ute r te L e g a c y : Barangayanihan Caravan Towards National Recovery in Iligan City, he highlighted the accomplishments of the government under President Duterte's administration which include the DuterteNomics, 10-Point S ocio economic Agenda, Build! Build! Build! Program, Kalinga at Malasakit for OFWs, Anti-Illegal Drug Campaign and Anti-Insurgency and Terrorism Campaign. Amidst the pandemic, Andanar said the country was able to sustain the gross domestic product and the growth of the economy to 6%. He attributed the improvements in the overall welfare of the country to the implementation of social services such as Universal Health Care, free tuition for higher education, the institutionalization of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, alternative learning system, Malasakit centers and one-stop service centers.

"Nakapagtala rin tayo ng 5% to GDP infrastructure spending na naging daan sa pagpapatayo ng maraming kinakailangan na mga kalsada at transportasyon hindi lang sa Metro Manila, kung hindi pati sa mga probinsya at liblib na lugar sa buong bansa," he said. [We also recorded 5% to GDP infrastructure spending which paved the way for the construction of many necessary roads and transportation not only in Metro Manila but also in the provinces and remote areas of the country.] Andanar said around P62 billion worth of illegal drugs were confiscated, 22,585 barangays were declared drugfree, and more than 303,000 were arrested and 3,800 youth rescued during the campaign against illegal drugs. He also underscored that communities now have become more peaceful and secure due to the implementation of the anticommunist insurgency and terrorism campaign including the Anti-terrorism Act through our Task Force to End Local C ommunist and Ar me d Conflict and programs such as the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program or ECLIP. The P r e s i d e n t ’s communication chief also stressed that the government continues to vaccinate priority groups under the national COVID-19 vaccination program wherein 70 million

Filipinos are targeted to have the first dose of the vaccine before the end of the year. He is optimistic that this can be achieved with the help and cooperation of everyone. "With the COVID-19 p a n d e m i c r av a g i n g t h e world economy, we were not spared alongside most nations around the world. The Duterte administration has never waiver. We have risen to the occasion and brought muchneeded responses and assistance to every Filipino, especially to our medical frontliners who fought alongside us in ensuring the safety and welfare of each one of you," he further said.

Dominguez to highlight PHL agenda at COP26 climate change summit Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III will lead the Philippine delegation to the 26th United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 26) in this city, where world leaders and other decision makers will gather starting today to determine how to accelerate action on reversing the devastating effects of the climate crisis. Secretary Dominguez will emphasize the Philippines’ efforts in addressing the climate crisis and is expected to demand greater accountability from Western countries that contributed and continue to contribute the most greenhouse gas emissions. The series of COP 26-related meetings will run from October 31 to November 12, 2021. Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr. will also join the delegation to the 12-day climate summit. Secretary Dominguez and Secretary Locsin will be accompanied by the Philippine Delegation Secretariat, composed of the DOF, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Department of Energy (DOE), and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The delegation, which will endeavor to champion climate justice and climate finance, will be participating in five priority workstreams, namely: (1) Common Time Frames of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Enhanced Transparency Framework; (2) Adaptation; (3) Article 6 of the Paris Agreement; (4) Sustainable Finance; and (5) Technology Transfer and Development. The delegation will also work closely with its peers under

the G77 and China Coordination Meetings. Representatives from each agency, meanwhile, will act as substantive negotiators: Undersecretary Mark Dennis Joven and Assistant Secretary Paola Sherina Alvarez from the DOF; Philippine Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York Leila Lora-Santos; Undersecretary Felix William Fuentabella from the DOE; and Director Albert Magalang from the DENR. Despite emitting only 0.3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the Philippines has drawn up extensive plans to cut local carbon emissions by 75 percent by 2030. This ambitious target is the country’s first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in accordance with its commitment to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The Philippines is one of the countries at highest risk for climate-related disasters. Climate-induced hazards caused a loss of P463 billion in infrastructure alone from 2010 to 2019, with the total damages in 2020 alone reaching P113.4 billion. In the next 50 years, the country has a 40 percent chance of experiencing a loss exceeding P989 billion, and a 20 percent chance of experiencing a loss exceeding P1.53 trillion. The Sustainable Finance Roadmap and its Guiding Principles is the country’s primary blueprint as the Philippines transitions to a low-carbon and climate-resilient society. Created in partnership with the government of the United Kingdom (UK) as it helps the country implement the ASEAN Low Carbon Energy Programme, the Sustainable Finance Roadmap aims to address

policy and regulatory gaps in promoting sustainable investments through finance, implementing sustainable government initiatives, facilitating investments in public infrastructure, and developing projects that promote sustainable financing in the Philippines. To increase capacity in enacting relevant and actionable plans across the different regions, the Climate Change Commission (CCC), of which Secretary Dominguez is the Chairperson-designate, reconstituted its National Panel of Technical Experts (NPTE). Composed of specialists from diverse fields of expertise, the consulting body will provide innovative and concrete advice for programs and policies in local communities. On November 3, Secretary Dominguez will deliver a keynote address at the Energy Transition Mechanism (ETM) Launching, which will officially establish an ETM to accelerate the transition from coal to clean energy in Southeast Asia in an equitable and scalable manner. He will be joined by Indonesian Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati and Asian Development Bank (ADB) President Masatsugu Asakawa. On the same day, Secretary Dominguez will take part as one of the panelists at the 4th High Level Ministerial Dialogue on Long Term Climate Finance. Secretary Dominguez will also join the Ministerial Dialogue for Adaptation, Loss, and Damage Day on November 8. On November 9, Secretary Dominguez will deliver the Philippines’ National Country Statement for COP 26.

Administrative aides in Philippine public school settings By ADRIAN LEDESMA SAYSON Administrative Aide VI

SCHOOL administrative aides – also referred to as clerks – are primarily responsible for handling all clerical tasks in a school’s office. As with administrative assistants in other settings, school administrative aides answer phones, file records and greet visitors. They also read and respond to mail and email from parents, students, teachers, alumni, barangay officials and others from the community in general. In addition, school administrative aides

record student attendance, handle student or teachers requests and report to principals. School administrative aides must perform various tasks in order to fulfill all the demands of this occupation. School administrative aides typically handle all phone calls coming into a school. They converse with school officials, parents and teachers; handle complaints; and address issues pertaining to students and school policies. They also answer

emails from parents and suppliers. From generating letters to making copies, school administrative aides provide daily support to both faculty and non-teaching staff. They general order school supplies, generate letters and reports, arrange meetings and maintain the school’s website and social media pages. School administrative aides often record student absences and maintain records of tardiness and early dismissals.

ZIRP: Zonal Interactive Reading Program

A School Program, Community-Based Zonal Reading Intervention Mitigating the Learners with Difficulty in Reading in the Time of Pandemic The program highlights the significance of explicit instruction in ensuring that learners will have the opportunity to develop strong reading skills. The program aims to catch-up learning, especially those who lag in basic reading skills and through the innovative program which is an evidence-based instructional method we will be able to lift the learning development and reading abilities of Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary School learners. Prior to the implementation of the innovation, various assessments in reading were done like (PHIL-IRI) and the like. The preparation of the program was based on the targeted results and based on other assessments done that focus on the participants who need the program. Learners that resulted “Frustration” in the reading assessments were the once included in the program ZIRP. Furthermore, learners who were “Independent” with their reading abilities were also addressed and given another program that more likely to develop their skills. The Instructional materials were developed according to the needs of the learners or their ability to read it is more individualized and conceptualized. The program implemented monitored and evaluated learners’ attainment of the five essential sub-skills of reading instruction (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension). The whole duration of the program was

monitored and evaluated throughout its implementation by the Department of Education (DepEd) Division Office of El Salvador City. The school was able to have a system diagnostic monitoring, evaluation and learning efforts to address the gaps that occur during the implementation and then take the time to pause and reflect and then adapt based on developing evidence. The innovation addresses the needs of our learners in times of pandemic, especially in their reading skills. It also maintains engagement among our learners and their teachers. The program is not only about teaching reading skills but also about social relationships among their parents, teachers, and community interactions. It is about learning to be a citizen and developing social skills. That is why we have come up with this innovation to stay connected by any means necessary with proper IATF protocols. For Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary School learners, this is also a time to develop socio-emotional skills and learn more about how to contribute to society as a citizen with this community-based program. The role of parents and family, which has always been extremely important, is critical to the success of the ZIRP program. The goal of Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary School is the same with the Department of Education’s

The ability to read among primary grade learners is foundational to education, but prolonged distance learning modality in public schools due to the pandemic have imposed unique challenges on the teaching of many fundamental skills specially when it comes to reading. One of Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary School’s goal in learning is to eradicate reading difficulties among our learners through its innovated program “ZIRP: Zonal Interactive Reading, A School Program, Community-Based Zonal Reading Intervention Mitigating the Learners with Difficulty in Reading in the Time of Pandemic”. Study showed that learners who read not only perform better in reading, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of things. Learning to read is about listening and understanding as well as working out what’s printed on the page. Through hearing stories, learners are exposed to a wide range of words. This helps them build their own vocabulary and improve their understanding when they listen, which is vital as they start to read. It’s important for them to understand how stories work too. Even if they don’t understand every word, they’ll hear new sounds, words, and phrases

which they can then try out, copying what they have heard. As learners learn to read, teachers, parents, and community play an important role in helping to keep them interested in books. Reading is a skill. The more it is practiced, the better a learner will become at it. Reading practice outside of school, at home with family and in community gathering places increases learners’ attainment of reading skills and helps foster a culture of literacy. In this program where families and communities were tapped because they can help their children gain literacy skills such as oral fluency, listening comprehension and sense of story by speaking with children and telling those stories. Through this program the school has provided each zone with reading tools and necessary instructional materials in reading, training and guides to help learners practice their reading. This innovation aims to continue reading activities through tutorials by zone with limited face to face capacity among teachers and learners. The program also tapped the community like stakeholders, barangay officials, zonal leaders, and parents to help in the implemented program. The innovation carries out a strong motivation to urge the community in our barangay to help our dear learners.

(DepEd) mandate and it is to overcome the learning crisis and as a school in our community we were already living in response to the pandemic we are all facing. The challenge that we are facing as a school in our community is to reduce as much as possible the negative impact this pandemic will have on learning, build on this experience to get back on a path of faster improvement in learning as well as reading. As the Department of Education (DepEd) copes with this crisis, they must also be thinking of how they can recover stronger, with a renewed sense of responsibility a better understanding and sense of urgency of the need to close the gap in opportunities and assuring learners have the same chances for a quality education. Through this schoolbased innovation, it encourages teachers, parents, community as well as the learners to explore and use

all the tools to uncover something new. It involves a unique way of looking at problems and solving them amid pandemics. The thinking process that goes into it will help our learners as well as the teachers develop their creativity and contribute a solution to a problem. This program improved education because it compels learners to develop their reading skills as well as their socialization skills even in a limited face to face set up through the zonal implementation. It innovates and includes finding better ways of doing something and new ways to look at problems. This innovation creates opportunities for better learning experiences of our dear learners at Pedro Sa. Baculio Elementary School. Instead of simply teaching ABCs and 123s, this innovation goes beyond the basics by combining a variety of disciplines to produce a new or different outcome.

CIVIL CASE NO. TC-2018-001 For: COLLECTION OF SUM MONEY, DAMAGES AND ATTORNEY’S FEES.

MARILYN SANDALAN, FELMA OMANDAM, and HELDA R. BALANUECO, Defendant. x----------------------------------------x COMPLAINT PLAINTIFF, by counsel, to this Honorable Court, respectfully states: I. THE PARTIES 1. Plaintiff, LORENZO TAN MULTI-PURPOSE COOPERATIVE¹ (“LTMPC” for brevity) is a cooperative duly organized and existing pursuant to the laws of the Republic of the Philippines and with principal business address at Lorenzo Tan, Tangub City, Misamis Occidental. For purposes of the instant complaint, it is represented by RUEL ENCALLADO, as evidenced by the Board Resolution ² which is attached herewith as “ANNEX A”. Plaintiff may be served with court notices and processes at the address of its undersigned counsel which is located at the City Hall Drive, Brgy. 1, Tangub City. 2. Defendant MARILYN SANDALAN (“MARILYN” for brevity) is of legal age, Filipino citizen and a resident of Fernan Subd. Purok Rambutan, Maranding, Lanao del Norte. She may be served with summons and other processes of this Honorable Court at this aforementioned address. 3. Defendant FELMA L. OMANDAM (“FELMA” for brevity) is also of legal age, Filipino citizen and a resident of the Purok 7, Lala Proper, Lanao del Norte. She may be served also with summons and processes of this Honorable Court at this aforementioned address. 4. Defendant HELDA R. BALANUECO (“HELDA” for brevity) is also of legal age, Filipino citizen and a resident of Poblacion, Manukan, Zamboanga del Norte. She may be served also with summons and processes of this Honorable Court at this aforementioned address. I. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION MARILYN DEBT WAS ALREADY DUE AND DEMANDABLE 5. On April 8, 2014, Marilyn applied³ for a loan with the LTMPC Maranding Branch, in amount of SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (Php 700,000.00) which will mature on April 15, 2017;

(Underscoring and emphasis ours) 14. To stress, a solidary obligation is one in which each of the debtors is liable for the entire obligation, and the creditor is entitled to demand the satisfaction of the whole obligation from any or all of the debtors. Thus, when Felma and Helda undertake to be “jointly and severally” liable with Marilyn, it means that his obligation is solidary. By stating “I promise to pay, jointly and severally”, he agreed to be sought out and be demanded payment of the entire obligation. 15. Moreover, the promissory note, wherein Felma and Helda undertook to be solidarily liable for the principal loan, partake the nature of suretyship and therefore is an additional security for the laon. The surety’s liability to the creditor is said to be direct, primary and absolute; in other words the surety is directly and equally bound with the principal. The surety therefore becomes liable for the debt or duty of another even if they possesses no direct or personal interest over the obligations nor does he receive any benefit therefrom. III. DAMAGES

17. Since LTMPC is constrained to pay the necessary cost and incur litigation expenses in the process, these litigation expenses and cost of not less than Twenty Thousand Pesos (Php20,000.00) must be reimbursed or paid by defendant Susan to LTMPC.

Poor... from page 4

averted will lead to an impending environmentallybased economic and social collapse Much of the country’s physical resources are already seriously depleted. Only half a million hectares or 5% of the forest cover remains. Seventy percent of mangrove forest destroyed. Forty percent of our watersheds seriously eroded. Fifty percent of fishery overfished, degraded or polluted; and seventy-five percent of coastal reefs severely damaged by destructive illegal fishing and siltation. Indeed, we have lost Eden. But why is this so? It is my contention that ecological degradation in this country could be traced to our colonial past. For 400 years until 1946, the Philippines had been an outright colony of imperial powers. And since 1946, we have lived as a nation-state, sovereign and independent kuno, but so under the overwhelming influence of highly development countries that have exploited our resources. Thus when we gained our independence in 1946, the condition and mechanisms of what would give way to the massive and systematic plunder of our natural resources were well entrenched in the national structure. It would then be a matter of time when that beautiful paradise would become a lost Eden. That was why, from 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forest a century or so ago, we barely have 500,000 hectares left. The ideal forest cover of the Philippines is 54%. Now it is less than 5%. This is the reason why a denuded mountain would just crumble down and literally erase a village, as in the case of Guinoyonon, Leyte. Indeed, the sins of a few loggers are now visited upon our people. We have to understand that the issues of ecological and social injustice are inextricably linked and therefore need to be addressed simultaneously. Citing some of these issues will bring to the fore what we should do to correct social flaws. Ecological degradation is rooted in the powerlessness of the ecological people to have access and control over their resources which are now fast sipping through their fingers. The benefit only goes to a few. Our

country has been consigned to be exporter of cheap raw materials, foremost of which is timber. The Philippines, in effect, has been subsiding the timber needs of developed countries. Foreign debt problem further aggravates environmental degradation. Debt servicing alone eats up 43% of our national budget. This means we are paying 150 million pesos everyday for interest alone. In our frenzy to pay our debt, we relentlessly exploit our natural resources. The results are devastating, cash crops exports depending heavily on polluting pesticides and fertilizers, commercial fishing has destroyed coral reefs and mine tailings have polluted rivers and bays. We must also examine the present economic paradigm as I believe that the cause of environmental crisis can also be largely attributed to a growthcentered development vision equating development with the output of goods and services despite the deprivation of our people’s livelihood, environmental destruction and depletion of our resource base. The underlying pattern of development only serves the consumerist lifestyles of foreign people and fellow citizen far beyond their share of the world’s natural resources. It behooves upon all of us now to make some reflections and make amends for what we have done to Gaia, as it is only ours to protect for the coming generations.

Doubts... from page 4

Of course, Christ can strike a most powerful grace to convert a person instantly into a man of faith, much like what happened to St. Paul. But there definitely is also a need to evangelize, to give faithful and consistent witness to our belief in Christ, making ourselves effectively “another Christ” as we ought to be, since that is the only human way we can convince people of the reality of Christ. What is clear that we have to be guided and live by faith always. More, we have to incarnate that faith. It should not just be a theoretical or intellectual affair. We need to keep our faith alive and burning. We should never allow it to cool down. That’s why we should strive to develop a vibrant life of piety that

Tuesday, November 2, 2021 is supported by a concrete plan for which we should not be sparing in our efforts and sacrifices. It cannot be denied that a plan to support our life of faith and piety will always involve a lot of effort and sacrifice. Things should come to the point when we somehow can see Christ in all the situations of our life, and discern his will for us at any moment. In other words, that we practically make ourselves contemplative souls even in the midst of the world. This is not falling into fantasies. This is, in fact, making ourselves most realistic, because in spite of our limitations, we cannot deny that Christ is in everything and is actually intervening in our life always. This is because being God, Christ is the very foundation of all reality. He is everywhere. Let us hope that we can have a vivid awareness of the presence of Christ all throughout the day, 24/7, and that we can be drawn always to correspond to his loving and merciful will. We should feel as much as possible God’s continuous love for us, and we should try to repay that love with our love. Let’s never set him aside. Email: roycimagala@ gmail.com

Oil...

vidual Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) titles after DAR through the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) converted the wide tract of oil palm plantation into ARB lands in 1988 but awarded it through a collective CLOA entrusted to ARB cooperatives. Still poor While waiting, Ente’s family is hardly eking out a living by receiving a measly P3,000 every three months as her share from the harvested oil palm fruits by their NGPI ARBs MultiPurpose Cooperative. She inherited the ARB membership after her husband Doroteo, who used to be supervisor of the oil palm company, died of sickness in 2011. The hardships experienced by the Entes is also shared by other lowly cooperative members who did not enjoy the fruits of their land ownership of still productive oil palm plantation areas some parts of it were rented by the new

company, Filipinas Palm Oil Plantations, Inc. (FFFPI), and other parts were already maintained by different factions of cooperatives. After the oil palm plantations were awarded to ARBs who were originally divided into to main cooperative groups in 1988, these groups enjoyed huge payments from the lease by the company of their lands. Infighting But years later, infighting among leaders of the two cooperatives after they received millions of pesos on the yearly lease pay and misunderstanding on their moves to ask for the increase of land rentals had led into a split of five different groups with different approaches in giving their profit sharing on their livelihood proceeds. On their part, Ente, who belong to the remnants of the original NGPI MultiPurpose Cooperative led by Nestor Alcular, were just given 40 percent of their profit share while the 60 percent were intended for the day-to-day operations and the salaries of office and field workers. The Alcular group has operated their farm lands through a group of clusters and their produce would depend on how productive would each cluster gets. This scheme however had drawn dissatisfaction to members who get measly shares that led to the killing of cluster leader Dionisio Cabatuan in September 25. Leaders of NGPI ARBs MPC have opposed the SPLIT project since it was implemented early this year. Raul Batiao, manager of the cooperative, said collective ownership of ARB lands is favorable for the cooperative to productively operate and improve the lives of its members. Different mandate Provincial DAR officials made the clarification on the benefits of the individual titling of CLOAs through the SPLIT project saying this implementation is the ultimate mandate of CARP which has no jurisdiction to the problems that incurred among ARB cooperatives. Allan Mundala, Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer, said the DAR which implements CARP is more focused on individual distribution of lands to ARBs and it is the Cooperative Development Authority’s mandate to resolve the problems that emanates from cooperatives.

Mundala further clarified that awarding of individual CLOAs will not affect to the ARBs affiliation with their respective cooperatives. “DAR has their own laws to follow, CDA has their own laws to follow.” Jamil Amantoding Jr., Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II, told ARBs who attended the orientation that after the SPLIT project will be fully implemented in the next three years, there will be no longer individual titling of lands to the landless farmers. He projected that individual CLOAs will be awarded to oil palm plantations ARBs in the first quarter next year. The ARBS of the oil palm plantations has been the priority in the implementation of the SPLIT project since they are the models of CARP which become a law through Republic Act 6657 which sought to redistribute lands not only to farmers and farm workers but also to the landless poor. The late former president Corazon Aquino personally distributed the collective CLOAS to the ARB cooperatives of NGPI in 1988. Security of tenure The SPLIT project, which is one of the DAR’s major ventures being implemented nationwide, aims to improve the security of tenure and strengthen the property rights of ARBs through the subdivision of CLOAs previously issued collectively by the agency. Some 1,143 ARBs who are owners of the collective CLOAs of 3,000 hectares attended the four-day orientation. In 2016, he said the NGPI returned the land to the ARBs due to internal conflict within the cooperative. Amatonding hoped that DAR-Agusan del Sur, after the series of orientation activities, will be able to start the field validation activities, a requisite for the conduct of the delineation of the collective CLOAs. The SPLIT Project, throughout its four-year implementation, will cover around 54,000 hectares with 3,174 collective CLOAs that will benefit some 25,000 ARBs in Agusan del Sur. Around 103,586 hectares of lands previously issued with collective CLOAs by the DAR will be covered under the project in the entire Caraga Region starting this year.

Holiday hues from SM Home Have a Sparkling Frosty Christmas with SM Home.

Cebu Pacific active flying crew now 100% vaccinated The Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), attains 100% vaccination rate for its active flying crew through its very own employee vaccination program, COVID Protect, and various partnerships with LGUs in the country.

CEB celebrates this milestone as scheduled, and in time for the expected increase in passengers in the coming months, following the easing of travel restrictions across the Philippines. “We are very pleased to share this news with

everyone as we prepare to ramp-up our domestic network to cater to the pent-up travel demand. CEB continues to boost its safety protocols and we know having a fully vaccinated crew will strengthen the trust and confidence of the public in air travel,” said Felix Lopez, Vice President for People Department at Cebu Pacific. The COVID Protect program is part of the Gokongwei Group's initiative for all its business units. Through this, CEB employees received free inoculation for themselves and their dependents, as well as third-party workers, such as check-in agents and

HEN you think about Christmas, traditional colors of red, green, and gold come to mind. But with most of us spending more time at home, it’s a good idea to be more creative when selecting holiday hues to add a contemporary touch to Christmas celebrations. Frosty White, Classic Red, Blush Luxe, and Dusk are SM Home’s four main color themes to bring the holidays to our homes. With probably the widest assortment of décor in town, and more than 500 ornaments to choose from, SM Home shares with us some imaginative ways- and colors - to celebrate all that is inspired, inventive, and innovative. • Frosty White.

Also, add some dazzle it with some glittered snowmen and penguin plushies. • Classic Red. Create a cozy and casual holiday living room with classic

bag handlers. Apart from this conglomerate-led program, CEB also worked hand-in-hand with various local government units these past months to ensure its employees will be inoculated with whatever vaccine is available, at the earliest time possible. “We commend our pilots and crew for voluntarily getting vaccinated, not only to protect themselves and their families, but even the passengers they fly with. We also express our gratitude to our leaders at the Gokongwei Group for spearheading the vaccination program, and of course, our

reds that never go out of style. Add shades of white, and don’t forget a bit of sparkle for added flair. Nutcracker toy soldiers, potted berry trees, wreaths and Christmas trees, snow globes, and miniature vintage villages will help showcase a traditional holiday scene at home. • Blush Luxe. Metallic hues make an elegant and polished holiday look. This year, add a rosy palette update of white and blush pink into your Christmas design. Glam up your tabletop with Nordic Gonk plushies or Pink Angel dolls for your little girl’s dreamy Christmas. • Dusk. Bring in the cozy cabin and rustic vibe with a twist by decking out your tree with copper, blues, and other jewel tones ornaments. Add some neutral-toned reindeers and burlap Christmas trees for more green and neutral vibes.
