Congress urged to enact maritime baselines bill

CAGAYAN de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez today urged Congress to finally pass a bill delineating the country’s maritime bound aries, including its 200-mile exclusive economic zone.

He made the appeal in the wake of the reported agreement between the Philippines and Indonesia on rules on how to delimit their overlapping territorial boundaries.

The agreement was an offshoot of the visit to Ja karta of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. last month.

“The projected talks between the Philippines and our neighbor Indonesia should prompt Congress to now approve a maritime zones bill,” Rodriguez said.

He said such a law would serve as the framework for negotiations on territorial limits between and among

guindanao – Acting on a civilian tip-off, government forces managed to recover improvised explosive de vices (IEDs) and firearms kept in an abandoned safe house in the marshland of Datu Salibo town in the province.

Lt. Col. Michael Glenn Manansala, commander of the 6th Infantry Battalion (6IB), on Tuesday said the explosives and firearms belonged to the Bangsamoro

nations claiming islets and maritime areas in the South China Sea.

“It will also be our weap on in enforcing our laws, exploring resources and protecting our fishermen in these areas,” he said.

He added that Congress should not be afraid of how China would react to the enactment of such a law.

“Enacting it is our right under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Let us not worry about what the Chinese will say. Let us think of our own national inter est,” Rodriguez stressed.

The Mindanao lawmaker has filed Bill No. 2467, which is titled, “An Act declaring the maritime zones under the jurisdiction of the Phil ippines.”

By CHRISTOPHER LLOYD CALIWAN

MANILA – The newlyenacted law mandating the registration of subscriber identity module (SIM) cards will enhance the capability of law enforcement agen cies in dealing with cyber criminals, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said on Tuesday.

In a statement, Inte rior Secretary Benjamin

Abalos Jr. said Republic (RA) Act 11934 or the SIM Card Registration Act is a welcome development in fostering “accountability at all levels” in reducing electronic communicationaided criminal acts that are being widely committed in anonymity.

“This new law will enable the Philippine National Po lice and other law enforce ment agencies to quickly

act on complaints and cases involving mobile scams as they will be able to easily track offenders and resolve misconduct involving tele communication devices, “ Abalos said.

Through this law, Aba los said the DILG can bet ter lead attached agencies and local government units (LGUs) to adapt to the de mands of the digital world as

Kim’s Dream

Save Mother Earth, Be Rooted with the Unseen Being

IT has been the opinion of great contemporaneous spiritual leaders that the species called the Homo Sapiens (human being) is the most flawed of all of God’s creation having killed its own kind of about 200 million human beings in one century alone (19th hundred) out of two world wars, the cleansing of Hitler and Pol Pot, Stalinism, Mao ism and the Vietnam War, among others. Humanity continues to suffer from collective insanity advanc ing unbridled materialism and consumerism amidst spiritual denigration where the instant pursuit of wealth, fame and power is the pri ority based on a flawed dictum called “survival of the fittest.” Worse, the homo sapiens has put the earth in a cataclysmic state as the present development para digm is sacrificing mother Earth to the altar of greed and power.

Noam Chomsky, de scribed by New York Times as “the most important in tellectual alive, described that the plight of human civilization as “racing to wards the precipice.” The doomsday clock of Mother

Earth was set to at two and a half minutes before midnight. The cause: the disbelief in the scientific consensus over climate change by all governments, the mainstream media and religious groups.” Indeed, the conscious refusal of the dominant players – govern ments, corporations and the media – to act with purpose helps to answer the questions, “where is the human outcry for earth’s life-support? Why have we failed to seize control of our survival?”

Pope Francis in his En cyclical Letter – which was back by al the major faiths – referred to climate change as “a sin against God.” Re cently, Queen Elizabeth was so furious blaming gov ernments’ inaction against climate change stating that “there should be legal ac tion against governments for the crime of omission to protect the right to life of their populations. Apparent is the ongoing political and media efforts to suppress climate change as a crisis: by denial, by under-reporting solutions to it.”

Indeed, it is an unprec edented crime against

Hints and Traces

Everything should be a form of prayer

WE should do our best to overcome the usual ten dency of ours to fall into some form of dichotomy, dividing our life mainly into 2 parts—one for prayer, our relation with God, and another for work, our in volvement in the things of the world or our temporal affairs.

We only have one life, and it’s a life that essentially should be an active partici pation in the life of God, since we have been created to be his image and likeness. Though our life has many parts, many dimensions, many aspects, and each one requires specific treatment, we should not forget that all of them comprise one and the same life. They have to be blended and made to work according to one same spirit—the spirit of God.

We are reminded of this basic truth about ourselves in that gospel episode about the two sisters, Martha and Mary, where the former complained to Christ about the latter for apparently not helping her in some tasks of hospitality. (cfr. Lk 10,3842) That was when Christ told Martha that only one thing is necessary and that Mary, her sister, who was contemplating on Christ, was doing the right thing

and it would not be taken away from her.

The mistake of Martha was to consider her tasks of hospitality not as a form of prayer but simply as some practical work that needed to be done. She failed to elevate her work into prayer. That was why she felt un comfortable to see her sister apparently doing nothing by simply putting herself before Christ, listening to him.

The main point of the gospel is that we are sup posed to be contemplative souls. That is to say that no matter what we are doing, no matter what condition we may be in, we should not lose touch with God.

That’s obviously not an easy thing to do, but we have precisely our whole life to cultivate that kind of lifestyle. And we have been given all the means so that such ideal can be achieved by us. We should just do our part.

The story of the sisters, Martha and Mary, therefore offers us a precious lesson on always giving priority to prayer, the one thing necessary in life, no matter how many and urgent our other concerns are during the day. It urges us to make everything a form of prayer.

The immediate basis for

Orlan R. Ravanera

humanity as the contem poraneous development paradigm called neo-liberal capitalism being advanced by corporate globalization continuously sacrifices Mother Earth and human ity to the altar of greed and profit. We are now in the 22nd year of the 21st cen tury but we do not know whether we will reach the 22nd century which is only 78 years from now. Every day, a thousand hectares of the 386-meter high iceberg are melting in the Arctic and the Antarctic that is giving rise to the ocean level. The Philippines now has some 7,100 islands but according to environmentalists, there will just be 3,000 islands fifty years from now. Some 100 species of flora and fauna are becoming extinct everyday due to climate change as bil lions have already become extinct. This is especially true in our country which has been considered by FAO as the richest on earth with regards to biodiversity but have been erased from the face of the earth as we have

Roy Cimagala

this truth is what Christ himself said: “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and for feits his soul?” (Mt 16,26)

That’s because prayer is like the breathing and the heartbeat of our spiritual organism, of our soul. Just as we continue to breathe and just as our heart con tinues to beat even while we are unconscious in our sleep, so should our prayer be.

To be sure, this is pos sible and doable, because praying does not even need a bodily organ for it to be done. It is a spiritual opera tion that can transcend the use of our bodily faculties. It’s a matter of attitude, of belief, which we can always have even if it is not expressly articulated.

As such, it can be done in any situation—while we are working, playing, resting, etc. But it would be good that we spend some time doing nothing other than praying, directly engaging God in a loving conversa tion, because that would help us to be prayerful in all our other activities and situations in life.

Teves steps down as ‘governor’ of NegOr

By MARY JUDALINE PARTLOW DUMAGUETE CITY –

Pryde Henry Teves volun tarily relinquished his post as governor of Negros Ori ental shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday after days of being locked in a “battle” over the governorship with duly elected Gov. Roel Degamo.

Teves spoke in front of a large crowd of support ers gathered at the front grounds of the capitol as he thanked them, saying “it is not yet over”.

He expressed disappoint ment that the high tribunal did not act on a petition for a temporary restrain ing order (TRO) to prevent the implementation of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc ruling

nullifying his election vic tory in favor of Degamo.

The former governor, whose victory in the May 9 polls was overturned fol lowing the transfer of votes of nuisance candidate Ruel Degamo to Roel Degamo, had insisted on staying on at the capitol in the past days.

This, even as Depart ment of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. ordered Regional Director Leoca dio Trovela and Provincial Director Farah Gentuya to install Degamo as governor, pursuant to the Comelec en banc’s writ of execution.

In a memorandum order released Tuesday, Mayor Rolando Uy directed all department heads to remove names, images, photos or images of any politician or political parties on all government-owned materi als and equipment.

The order also prohibits stickers or any identifiable markings of any public of ficer on the government properties.

“Being an advocate of the “Anti Epal Law” intro duced by (former) Senator Emmanuel D. Pacquiao... (the undersigned) adheres to an anti-epal Policy in this current administration,” Uy said.

“Epal” is a slang Filipino word describing people with excessive attention-seeking behavior like placing their names on government proj ects.

Uy also cited the 2021 directive of the Anti-Red Tape Authority for local governments to strike out names and faces on public documents. ( PNA )

For the third quarter this year, the office said 8,160 fisher folks and 5,799 drivers of public utility vehicles in this city were thoroughly screened and assisted to avail of emergency em ployment under the Tu long Panghanapbuhay sa Disadvantaged/Displaced Worker (TUPAD) of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

The lawmaker’s office added that it has also co ordinated with DOLE in granting TUPAD benefits to 923 street vendors.

“We had carefully pro filed the TUPAD appli cants to ensure that only those who deserve them are granted the benefits of the program. We are continu

ing to screen thousands of other applicants,” Duterte said in a statement.

TUPAD is a communitybased package of assistance that provides emergency employment for displaced workers, the underem ployed, and seasonal work ers, for a minimum period of 10 days, but not to exceed a maximum of 30 days, depending on the nature of the work to be performed.

Duterte’s office also provided scholarships and educational assistance to 802 students, while another 207 individuals have been granted free training pro grams from the Technical Education and Skills Devel opment Authority (TESDA) during the same period this year.

It also facilitated the hospitalization and medical assistance at the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) to 4,532 individu als, including Davao’s indi gent senior citizens.

CLASSROOMS must be arranged to ensure the safety of learners from COVID-19 transmission. The physical arrangement of chairs and other furniture inside the classroom shall ensure proper physical distancing. Those seats that will be occupied shall be one to two meters apart while those which will not be occupied shall be marked with an X.

After ensuring that the required physical distance of seats in each classroom is observed, the school shall also take into consideration the required maximum num ber of learners per class. The allowable number of learners in every classroom including those in SPED, special cur

ricular programs, multigrade classes, TVL workshops and other laboratory activities shall be in accordance to maximum of 20 learners in a class.

If the classroom does not have adequate space to enforce the one to two me ter distance between seats, the school may adopt larger spaces in the school such as the gymnasium, school grounds and the like that may be repurposed as learning spaces and available learning spaces in the community near the school or residential area of the learners and teach ers.

Mentoring teachers by specialists

By MERCY B. ARSENAL Master Teacher I Tangub City National High School Tangub City Division

RESEARCHERS found for example that instruction improves when teachers in training take specific sub ject classes by professors in that department rather than learning about that subject within the Education depart ment. Although such courses generally offer instructional strategies, it’s preferable for teachers to build the strong foundation in general con cepts that are taught by the professors.

At the same time, pro viding training to mentor teachers i.e. typically more experienced educators who provide coaching and sup port to new teachers, can also improve education in that subject. Despite having extensive classroom experi ence, mentor teachers may not

necessarily be well versed in a particular subject thus the need of a refresher.

This is to avoid mis conceptions or ineffective instruction strategies that may get passed down from one generation of teachers to the next. Researchers found that mentor teachers became more confident with content and strategies for teaching subjects after they received professional development instruction. Mentor teach ers shifted from discussing classroom management strat egies to focusing on quality secondary instruction. That focus then filtered down to the new teachers they were coaching and those new teachers went on to deliver more high quality lessons to their students.

Duterte and his staff distributed 102 wheelchairs and 1,514 food packs to 28 orphanages and homes for the aged during the period.

In partnership with Benguet Representative Eric Yap, Duterte turned over five patient transport vehicles to improve the delivery of medical care to Davao City’s first district residents.

“We have also initiated the construction of nine buildings to serve the needs of Davao City residents,” Duterte said.

These include evacua tion centers, multi-facilities

21st century high school training preparing for adulthood

By JANICE B. TULBA Teacher III Tangub City National High School Tangub City Division

THE best educational systems in the world are in the Scandinavian countries, Northern Europe, Japan, South Korea and the United States.

As economic, social and tech nological change gathers pace, people everywhere need to develop their knowledge and skills on a continuous basis so that they can live and work meaningfully in the knowledge society. Investing in educa tion and training is therefore an investment in the future. Knowledge and skills are the engine of economic growth and social development. Indeed, technology, infor mation, globalization, climate

change and the changing de mographics have all combined with other factors to change the workplace. Work used to be a place where people have to so that they can work in the production lines or behind their desks.

Work today is what people do anywhere anytime on their own or with a virtual team of coworkers, customers or vendors in order to create value that customers are will ing to pay for. The skills and tools needed to create value today are no longer the same set of theoretical knowledge that were taught in schools a decade or so ago.

Parents, please teach your children to love learning

By GAY B. PUNDAY , Teacher III Labo Central School Division of Ozamiz City

TEACH them early about standing their ground, hav ing the humility to accept when they are wrong and having empathy towards the circumstances of others. I am convinced that in order for the country to alleviate its education, the role of parents is extremely pivotal. The family, being the basic unit of social institutions, is the cell that needs to be nurtured.

Its certain cells of the body are not functioning properly as Emile Durkheim suggests, then the whole body will be af fected. Parents of every home must provide everything they can for their children. This includes teaching every child of theirs to love learning in

R.A.

general, not just the love for learning of school but for any opportunities for learning and growth.

Regardless of the socioeconomic status of a fam ily, the love of learning is a worthy investment we all must capitalize on for us to overcome pressing issues not just in education but on how we will decide to drive our nation.

Parents, your supervision especially if the child is just in their formative years is highly recommended. Children can be exposed to mature content which can distort and harm the idea formation of the child. Take time to teach children to learn the basics of reading, writing and counting.

Integral human development

By JAYSA M. MAAÑO Teacher I Lumbia Central School

ALL children must be able to access quality pre-kinder garten to Grade 3 education and development programs. This statement clearly pro ceeds from the basic premise that quality education is a human right of every person born to Philippine society.

It is the duty of the gov ernment to guarantee that no child in the Philippines will be denied access to quality education irrespective of the incomes of his or her parents. If Vice President and concurrent Education Secretary Sara Duterte gets her request for an additional P100 billion on top of the ap proved 2023 DepEd budget of more than P700 billion, we have to make sure that the first item in the agenda is actually realized. This also

means that no child until he or she reaches the age of 1,000 days from the womb of the mother must be denied sufficient nutrition to avoid damage to the brain caused by undernourishment.

Whatever is needed to comply with providing free education at the elemen tary and high school level must be given the highest priority before providing for tertiary education. As regards to tertiary education, there is a lot of leeway for private enterprise to engage in post-secondary education through the establishment of either academic universities or technical institutes with out precluding governmentsponsored universities and other forms of post-secondary education.

Unseen...

from page 4 lost the 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forest in just a century due to massive illegal logging. Don’t you know that the number of flora and fauna found in just 5,000 hectare-Mt. Kitanglad Range is far greater compared to those found in one billion-hectare continent of North America?

Worse through the Anthropo cene, with the Greek roots meaning “human-made” (anthropo) and “new” (cene), Gaia (Mother Earth) is now facing its 6th extinction, that is, if this species will continue its collective insanity through the egoic chattering mind. But the wind of change is now hover ing through the looming of an awakening consciousness. Human BEING is more than form but an eternal formless Being that is pure consciousness that has been there prior to being a form (body). It is the teaching of all major religions that there is someone coming to liberate us and all the while, we have been waiting. The truth is, what we have been waiting for is really that consciousness that is inherent in every one of us, our spiritual awakening – the Stillness that is our essential nature. Feel that stillness and oneness with all things and you become Spiritus Luminus (enlightened spirit) and be transformed into homo pacem (men and women for peace).

There is now an on-going shift toward collective consciousness and spirituality of all people of the world that must now heal the wounds of GAIA and those of Her children, damaged all these years through false religions and western development materialistic and consumerist paradigm that sacrificed the people and the ecosystems to the altar of greed and profit, controlled by the egoic mind. Free yourself from over thinking. Feel life deep within and connect with the Innermost Being called God! Indeed, time is just an illusion. What matters is the Now. Time doesn’t exist at all for life continues here and beyond. And when love is in one’s heart, time and space have no meaning for love transcends everything. Not even death can have power over that supreme force in the universe as the beloved is always carried in one’s heart, in one’s inner consciousness – forever!

In fact, the awakening process has now begun with the looming of new consciousness that is now dawning to bring forth a new earth and a new heaven. It is a kind of spiritual awakening that is effect ing an inner transformation that a human being is more than form or body. Each one of us is con sciousness (spirit) prior to taking a form (body). Spirit is eternal, body is just transient. As spiritual consciousness is now pervading, a human being as a Being must be rooted to the Unseen Being, the Source of all life where all life emanate. . When that happens, each one of us will feel the one ness and inter-connected of all of God’s creation, then, we will be connected to a universal intel ligence. When that happens, the awakened human being will leap to that transcendental dimension which will be a great leap forward to the evolutionary growth of humanity. Each one of us should dive deep within to know who truly we are: not just a drop in the ocean but an ocean in one drop. Then Jesus pronouncement will be understood, “That the kingdom of heaven is within us.” Feel the Stillness and Spaciousness deep within to know who truly you are. Then, you will know who truly you are being eternal and being life itself. Thus be rooted with the Unseen Being and feel that oneness with all of God’s creation which is true love.

Rodriguez also urged DOST Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. to submit to the committee a list of priority funds that need to be restored, including additional fundings for the regional offices amounting to P1-2illion

He also asked Solidum not to reduce by P 54.6 million the budget for the 2023 Local Grantsin-Aid (LGIA) of Region 10.

The LGIA is earmarked for projects under the Community Empowerment Through Science and Technology (CEST) to bring science, technology, and innova tion closer to the people in rural areas, Rodriguez said.

measure in the last Congress. The House passed it but the Senate sat on it.

Rodriguez’s proposed defini tion of the country’s maritime territory includes the Chineseoccupied Scarborough or Panatag Shoal off Zambales and Panga sinan, locally known as Bajo de Masinloc, a tradition fishing ground of Filipinos.

The Chinese Coast Guard routinely patrols this area, which Beijing seized in 2012 after a standoff between Chinese and Philippine Coast Guard vessels.

In Bill No. 2467, Rodriguez said the Philippines, as a sig natory and party to the 1983 United Nations Convention on the Law os the Sea (UNCLOS) “recognizes the establishment of various maritime zones and jurisdiction of coastal states, including its own, over which sovereignty and appurtenant sovereign rights can be exer cised.”

“Thus, the country exercises sovereignty over its internal waters, archipelagic waters, ter ritorial sea and airspace over it, as well as its seabed and subsoil in accordance with UNCLOS and other existing laws and treaties,” he said.

He said the Philippines also exercises sovereign rights over its “contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, including the right to explore and exploit living and nonliving, organic or nonorganic resources.”

The House leader pointed out that UNCLOS allow partystates to define their maritime territory.

Under the Rodriguez bill, aside from its internal and archi pelagic waters and territorial sea, the country’s maritime territory includes its 200-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) that is measured from its shoreline and its continental shelf.

A large part of the Philippine EEZ is claimed by China, which has transformed some disputed islets in that area into military installations.

“We found the safe house on Monday in the middle of the Liguasan marshland,” Manansala said in his report to 601st Infantry Brigade commander Col. Oriel Pangcog.

The BIFF safe house was discovered on the border of Ba rangays Pandi and Pindeten in Datu Salibo municipality.

“Civilians tipped off the sol diers about the presence of armed men in the area, so we conducted the operation,” he said.

Manansala said government forces braved the marshland and recovered 16 IEDs, a kilo of black powder, 36 improvised blast ing caps, three rocket-propelled grenade explosives, ammunition, and BIFF personal items.

Pangcog lauded the 6IB troop ers for immediate action and the public for providing timely information that led to the seizure of the BIFF war matériel.

Maj. Gen. Roy Galido, Army’s 6th Infantry Division commander, has once more called on BIFF elements to surrender and live peacefully with their families and loved ones instead of fighting a lost cause. ( PNA)

Conversations for our Future Builders with UAPGA

LAST October 2, 2022, IDC’s Chairman and CEO Arch. Romolo V. Nati joined the United Architects of the Philippines Graduate Auxiliary to celebrate the recent World Architecture Day 2022 together with Arch. William Ti Jr. of WTA Architecture and Design Studio, a company that seeks to redefine the role of architecture in our society and focus on the creation of positive social impacts.

Held at Teatro Arkitekto, UAP Headquarters in Manila, the event gave the opportunity to Arch. Nati and Arch. Ti, during the “Arch-Talks Prism: Sit-Down Interview”, to share their knowledge and achievements with the numerous participants at the WAD 22 to raise awareness on the impact of architecture on society.

Italpinas Development Corporation (IDC), formed from the encounter of a multi-awarded Italian architect and a Filipino lawyer, both passionate promoters of sustainable development, is a real estate development firm dedicated to developing high-performance properties in growing cities in the Philippines. With its unique design philosophy, IDC™ is committed to develop top-quality properties that are in harmony with the environment, and to bringing value to investors, end-users, and the community.

“In my journey as an architect, I was an advocate of sustainability even before green development became trendy. I was aware of the consequences of human development and consumption in general, pollution and waste of human beings. I feel real pain when I see how we

have been ruining our natural environment, when I see how we treat animals and forests and when I see people acting like natural resources are infinite..” said Arch. Romolo V. Nati.

According to Arch. Nati, “the real challenge is to be able to deliver green properties within the same price range as regular or non-green developments and Italpinas Development Corporation can run through innovative ways of building and designing projects. One

way is through the use of passive green design strategies, which are solutions implemented at the early stage of design. These strategies allow the building to maximize the use of some natural resources.

These features, along with creative design, are some of the things that make us and our products stand out in the market. This also puts to rest the misconception that living in a green development is an expensive decision. Our point of view is that many people out

there have not decided to enjoy the green lifestyle because of the misconception that it will be expensive. When more people discover that living green is a moneysaving decision that also allows one to have a healthier lifestyle and a better environment, I’m sure they will embrace this new and sustainable lifestyle.”

World Architecture Day has a significant meaning to every architect, aspiring architect as well as architecture enthusiast all over the world. Every

year, WAD is observed to raise awareness of the importance of architecture in our rapidly changing society. With this year’s theme “Architecture for wellbeing”, the event has been an opportunity to underline how architects can reform spaces into a livable one for their users.

The UAP Graduate Auxiliary (UAPGA) was pioneered by people who focused their eyes on the road to professionalism, without losing the vision of service to fellow architects-in-the-making.
