By AZER PARROCHA

Results of PUBLiCUS Asia’s Pahayag 2022 Quar terly Survey showed that 63 percent of respondents agree with the President’s move to take the agriculture portfolio.

Employees ‘best assets’ of DSWD: Tulfo

By ZALDY DE LAYOLA

MANILA – Department of Social Welfare and Devel opment (DSWD) Secretary Erwin T. Tulfo has described the government’s social workers as the best assets of the department.

Tulfo made the com ment as the DSWD recently launched its improved Hu man Resource Management Information System (HR MIS) Employee Welfare Sub system Module to respond to the diverse needs of the department’s employees.

He said the DSWD em ployees deserve to be given due attention for the sus tained delivery of quality public services.

“Under my leadership, we will ensure that the employ ees’ rights and welfare will be protected and we shall endeavor to find more ways to assist them,” Tulfo said in his message during the launch at the central office in Batasan through its Hu man Resource Management and Development Service (HRMDS).

The HRMIS Employee Welfare Subsystem Module provides on-time deliv ery of services to meet the

stood firm in his decision to stay as DA chief amid critics’ calls to appoint a full-time secretary to head the department.

He said other DA officials agree with his decision, adding that he was willing to step down if he was no longer needed.

“I am giving my full at tention to the department. And the reason that I stay on up to now I have actu ally raised the subject with some of the --- some of the staff and the employees and the secretaries in the DA and they asked me not to [leave],” he said.

Because the problems of the DA were “very deeply embedded”, Marcos said his role as president is neces sary to “change and turn it around.”

He said he will appoint someone to take his place once DA’s functions are properly institutionalized,

and the structural changes are made.

“When we are able to say that the DA’s functions are

properly institutionalized, and the structural changes that we need to make in the DA have been made,

and the appointments in the DA have already been made, then saka ako bibitaw (that’s when I’ll step down). Because then, they don’t need me anymore, they don’t need the President heading the department,” he added.

Last June, Marcos an nounced that he will head the DA to show Filipinos that he puts “high priority” on the agriculture sector.

As DA chief, he vowed to prioritize increasing rice production and reorganizing the agriculture department.

Earlier this month, the Marcos administration also obtained high approval ratings on its handling of urgent national concerns in the country based on a

Firm sees aviation industry growth under PBBM

By BENJAMIN PULTA

MANILA – More foreign businesses have expressed interest to invest in the aviation and engineering companies in the Phil ippines during the ad ministration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, a full service law firm said Thursday.

In a press briefing, lawyer Manolito Manalo of Ocampo, Manalo, Val dez, Lim Law Office un derscored “the need for a whole of nation approach” to prepare the air and sea freight industry for the foreseen growth in business activity citing the impera tive to put up new airports

to supplement the Ninoy Aquino International Air port (NAIA) in Manila.

Lawyer Carlos T. Oc ampo said while it is dif ficult to specify the rate of the expected growth in the aviation industry, several foreign firms and entities continue to express inter est.

“We continue to have numerous inquiries from foreign businesses asking how to set up in the Philip pines,” he said. “At no time during the pandemic, was there a contraction of their business.”

He added that resur gence of leisure travel in the country will be among

the primary factors that will fuel airlines businesses.

Another counsel, Juan Victor Valdez noted that the present airport in Ma nila is limited to a single runway with limited po tential to extend it due to developments in the surrounding areas.

Manalo noted that “the shipments are brought into Manila but end up having to travel the length of Ma nila” to get to their final destination outside Manila.

He added that there is a need for a reworked transport system that would integrate railways, seaports and airports to accommo date the anticipated growth of business activities in the next few years.

The lawyers added that they also see large potential for flight training schools and allied businesses in the country.

”The job creation (po tential) is fantastic. Filipino ground crews are presently in demand much like our seamen,” Manalo said.

Innovations and the efficiency of local arms of international airlines in aircraft maintenance, Ocampo said, are also fast gaining ground. ( PNA )

NGCP appeals to Pampanga LGU to lift substation closure order

By ZORAYDA TECSON

CITY OF SAN FERNAN DO, Pampanga – The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) is appealing to the local government unit of San Simon this province to lift its order of halting the construction of a 230-ki lovolt (kV) substation in that town.

The NGCP said in a statement on Thursday that the power supply in this province might be affected if the construction of the substation in San Simon would not push through.

“Without this substa tion, the reliability of trans mission services in the Pampanga area is threat ened, and power interrup tions are a real possibility,”

the NGCP said.

Mayor Abundio Punsa lan Jr. signed a closure or der dated Sept. 9, this year, claiming the substation was constructed without the necessary permits required by the local government.

The NGCP, however, said it had presented to the local government unit of San Simon a copy of the building permit it issued for the project in June 2021 before the construction of the substation.

Likewise, the NGCP said the substation was certi fied as an Energy Project of National Significance (EPNS) by the Department of Energy in 2019.

The San Simon 230-kV substation is designed as an alternate source of power

for customers connected to the Mexico substation.

The NGCP seeks to re inforce the reliability and stability of power transmis sion services in the Luzon grid.

“We are appealing to the local officials of San Simon led by Mayor Punsalan to lift the closure order and allow NGCP to continue with this grid improvement initiative,” the company said.

“We share the common goal of delivering efficient and reliable services to the Filipino people,” it added.

The corporation is a Fil ipino-led, privately owned company in charge of op erating, maintaining, and developing the country’s power grid. ( PNA )

CONFLICTS IN LIFE

WE are in conflict with ourselves many times dur ing life. Our future gives cause for concern; the past is captured, therefore we miss the future.

The grief and sorrow asked the hope, “How are you?” The hope answered, “ I am a little bit low and sad today!” The sorrow replied sarcastically, “I hope so!”

When conflict is mis managed, it can cause great harm to a relationship, but when handled in a respect ful, positive way, conflict provides an opportunity to strengthen the bond be tween two people. Whether you’re experiencing conflict at home, work, or school, learning these skills can help you resolve differences in a healthy way and build stronger, more rewarding relationships.

When people get angry with each other, they often say or do things without realizing the cause of their feelings. Understanding the dynamics behind a conflict can make it easier to resolve issues. This insight also can help you mediate a conflict between friends and rela tives. Many experts break personal and professional conflicts down into basic types, based on the underly ing causes of disagreements and the dynamics.

Nobody really knows what might happen after reaching the retirement age. Sure, if we can observe

our neighbors and all other people in our surroundings, we really don’t like to know it. If we treat ourselves with care, our real age will not be shown. I won’t make any secret about celebrating my 70th birthday sometime next year. I enjoy it. I am proud to reach this age with God’s help.

It seems that the re spectable treatment of our beloved seniors around us are disappearing into the past and are forgotten by the younger generation. Praising the elderly nowa days means to attest to their impudent and imperish able youthfulness. I am sure, with His help many seniors are still strong, still indefatigable, still a phenomenon, still intel lectual and still spiritual on top!

Let’s not forget our re spect, when sometimes just being artificial or affected stammering, that “our old lady” or “our old gentle man” hasn’t become senile yet.

On our way to an honor able and respectful age we should try to fulfill some of our greatest longings in life.

During the last decades, I met many people around the whole globe. Unbeliev able, I found out, no mat ter where in this world, the conflicting attitude is everywhere. “It’s an abso lute certainty, those doubts

Hints and Traces

We have to be on fire

“I HAVE come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blaz ing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!”

(Lk 12,49-50)

Words of Christ that clearly show how driven he was in carrying out his mis sion, which is the salvation of all men. If we have to be like Christ as we should, since we are actually pat terned after him, then we should also develop the same zeal in pursuing the real and ultimate purpose of our life—the salvation of our soul and those of the others.

love, with the love of God who is the source, pattern and end of love, we cannot help but, like Christ, be always energized, driven and zealous, no matter what the cost. Of course, this condition, this requirement is quite tough to meet, but if we would just try, and try again as often as necessary, certainly the ideal effect would just come about.

are the main certainty!” stressed already the German author, philosopher and dramatist Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956).

Please allow me, once in a while, to be able to say NO. Please allow me to delete inferior and defeatist feelings. Please allow me to admit that I can’t do everything during a single day. Please allow me to no longer be afraid about other people and their spiteful comments about me.

Please allow me to accept my silence. Please accept me being terribly tired from time to time. Please allow me to be excused even without having an intelligent reply. Please allow me to be carried by salvation and bliss.

Hopefully, we may have enough understanding peo ple with us to accompany us during the voyage of our sometimes very conflicting life.

This obviously will take a long process, let alone, a truly arduous one. But we should set our mind and heart to achieve that ideal. This is the ideal condition for us. Even if we are en dowed only with the most phlegmatic and melancholic temperaments, something must be burning inside our heart that cannot help but burst into a flame, a flame of love, of self-giving, of serving without expecting any return. If it is not yet there, then let’s enkindle it.

The secret again is always that vital identification with Christ. If we are truly in

What can always help is that we avoid getting imprisoned in our own world and allow ourselves to simply be at the mercy of the state of our physical, emotional and mental con dition. With our spiritual faculties of intelligence and will, plus of course God’s grace that will always be made abundantly available, we can transcend beyond these constraining elements.

So, we just have to use ev erything within our power to attain that ideal state of being always on the go, dynamic, eager to serve and to do things for everyone. We may have our limita tions, and we can commit mistakes, yet we cannot deny that everything is already given for us to be how we should be in our earthly life. And that is to be like Christ, whose only desire is to love all of us all

For this, we have to continually fight against our tendency to be trapped by the many conditionings in our life. Yes, they exist, we cannot avoid them, and we are affected by them. But we need not be forever limited by them. With our effort, plus God’s grace, we know that we can go beyond them.

We should be ready to detach ourselves from things and persons who can stand in the way of pursuing that goal. Thus, Christ said: “Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father…(Lk 12, 51-53)

Let’s be convinced that that is the formula to follow, and to identify ourselves with Christ.

DONATION. The Provincial Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) and 15 local government units in Antique are recipients of computer units that they can use for the online reg istration of their persons with disabilities (PWDs) with the Philippine Registry for PWD (PR-PWD). PDAO head Paolo Castillo said Thursday (Oct. 20, 2022) that 6,283 PWDs in Antique have yet to register with the PR-PWD.

Computer donation to aid Antique PWDs in online registration

By ANNABEL CONSUELO PETINGLAY

SAN JOSE DE BUENAVIS TA, Antique – The prov ince of Antique received 16 computer units from the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) expected to help in the on line registration of persons with disabilities (PWDs) with the Philippine Registry for PWD (PR-PWD).

The computer units were turned over to their recipi ents in a ceremony held in Iloilo City on Wednesday.

Recipients included the Provincial Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) and social welfare and development offices of 15 municipalities that were not on the list of recipients last year.

This year’s recipients are the towns of Anini-y, Tobias Fornier, Hamtic, Sibalom, Valderrama, Patnongon, Barbaza, Bugasong, Caluya, Culasi, Laua-an, Libertad, Pandan, Sebaste, and Tibiao, while the municipalities of San Jose de Buenavista, San Remigio, and Belison received their units last year.

PDAO head Paolo Cas tillo, in an interview on Thursday, said the donation would hasten the online registration of the PWDs in the municipalities.

Currently, 8,456 PWDs in the province are regis tered with the PR-PWD out of the 14,739 who have been registered and issued

identification cards by their respective municipalities.

“There are still then 6,283 PWDs who have not registered online because of the unavailability of the computer,” Castillo said.

Computers available at the municipal social welfare and development offices are used for other purposes, making it difficult for PWDs to use the machines for their online registration.

NCDA Executive Direc tor Joniro F. Fradejas, in his message during the turn over, said PWDs have to be registered with the PR-PWD for them to get covered by the Universal Health Care Act and subsequently avail of the health insurance.

“NCDA is donating the computer units being aware of how much you need it,” Fradejas said.

The registration is also important for the NCDA to have an accurate number of PWDs in the country in anticipation of the national government’s plan to pro vide them with monthly subsidies. ( PNA )

World Teachers Day

By: BRENDA D. MANTE HT-III Anei ES Claveria West District

Being a teacher can be interpreted in many differ ent ways and used to achieve many different goals. Stu dents look up to them as role models, and they are inspired and motivated to strive for success and see their own potential. Teachers have a number of important responsibilities and duties in the daily world of education. Situations without roles and responsibilities lack true structure and explicit direc tion. A teacher is someone who mentors and uplifts others, whether they are children or adults. He or she has a responsibility to instill morality, ethics, and values in others in order to increase awareness and widen people’s horizons.

No matter where you are in the world, it’s probable that you had a teacher who had a positive impact on your life—someone who eventually assisted you in understanding a challenging subject or who helped you have a learning experience that defined your

time in school. Every year on October 5, we celebrate World Teachers’ Day. It’s a moment to think back on the outstanding teachers who aided us while we were kids and to thank the ones who inspired us. It’s also a day for you to consider how you might currently influence students in a similar way.

The contributions and efforts of teachers are con stantly valued. In order to celebrate the efforts made by teachers, Teacher’s Day was created. Every nation’s development depends heavily on its teachers. It is essen tial to set aside a day where teachers are treated with the respect, they deserve because of this. We commemorate Teachers’ Day to recognize the influence teachers have made on our lives. Celebrat ing Teachers’ Day is a step toward recognizing the pro fession of teaching and the role that teachers play in society. Teachers have huge responsibilities in growing students.

The 5 Stages of the Disaster-Management Cycle

By: SIDRO MONTERAS LARAGA School Head Agtugop Elementary School

Having the resources nec essary to decrease unexpected catastrophes, such as natural disasters, benefits both enter prises and individuals. Both groups and individuals can predict and evaluate a damag ing incident that affects people or property with the use of the disaster management cycle. By learning more about the disaster management cycle, you may be better equipped to prepare for foreseeable crises in your professional or personal life.

The disaster management cycle, which consists of a se ries of procedures, is used by organizations and individuals to prepare for, contain, and mitigate unplanned events. These could consist of unantici pated property damage, natural disasters, or other events that endanger other people’s lives. The disaster management cycle helps everyone reduce the ef fects of unplanned catastrophes and recover as much resources as they can once the original crisis has passed. A disaster management cycle helps those who have been affected by disasters by supporting their rehabilitation, regrouping, and reconstruction efforts.

Prevention. An incident was prevented by taking action. preventing a mishap from hap pening. Operations of monitoring and deterrence.

Mitigation. refers to actions that either prevent emergen cies, lessen the likelihood that they will occur, or lessen the negative effects of emergen

cies that cannot be avoided. Common mitigation strategies include enforcing zoning laws and building standards, installing shutters, and erecting barriers like levees.

Preparedness. Activities improve a community’s ca pacity to react in the event of a disaster. The creation of mutual aid agreements and memorandums of understand ing, training for emergency responders and concerned people, holding catastrophe drills to refresh training and test capabilities, and launching allhazards education campaigns are typical preparedness steps.

Response. The urgent ac tions taken prior to, during, and after a hazard impact are intended to save lives, minimize financial losses and lessen suffering. The emergency op erations center may be acti vated, threatened people may be evacuated, mass shelters may be opened, and care provided, emergency rescue and medical treatment may be provided, firefighting may be conducted, and urban search and rescue may be conducted.

Recovery. Actions were taken to restore basic services and repair physical, social, and economic damages in order to get a community back to normal or close to normal conditions.

Rebuilding of roads, bridges, and important facilities are typi cal recovery measures, as well as debris cleanup and ongoing mass care for displaced people and animal populations.

this endeavor. We are also happy that we have sustained this partnership through the years,” the local trade official said.

Hermoso revealed that the Make It Mati iCon will be packed with various highlights and side events, including a plenary hall for investmentsrelated presentations, an exhib it, an activity area showcasing locally produced products and industries. Likewise, breakout sessions for financing, credit brokering, and separate busi ness meetings will be made.

Coffee will take the spotlight, too, as the launching of the DTI-Department of Agricul ture-Philippine Rural Develop ment Program partnership will be done on the said day. This initiative will be on the coffee advancement for productivity and industry development in Davao Oriental.

She encouraged local busi ness people and investors to join the iCon and see for them selves the opportunities they can take advantage of. Among the speakers are from multi national companies, some of which are already operating in the province, and relevant government agencies.

Mother Tongue-Based Curriculum in the Philippines

Name of Teacher: JASON M. MADRONERO Position: Secondary School Teacher I School: Ozamiz City National High School

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” - Nelson Mandela

Linguists believe that know ing how to speak your mother tongue well gives you the mental foundation to learn second and foreign languages. Children are more likely to do well in school if they start in their native lan guage. This is shown by higher enrollment, lower dropout rates, and better performance in all academic areas. The Department of Education wanted to change how kids were taught, especially in the first few school years. With the enactment of Republic Act No. 10533, or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, mother tongue is now the medium of instruction for kindergarten through third grade.

Following this, Bicolano, Ce buano, Chavacano, Hiligaynon, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Ma guindanaoan, Maranao, Pan gasinense, Tagalog, Tausug, and Waray-Waray are used as teaching languages at the above grade levels. And even though MTB-MLE has been recognized and implemented, there are still issues at hand.

As I have observed, some of the challenges surrounding the implementation of the MTBMLE are as follows: (1) lack of textbooks; (2) lack of competent teachers to teach the Mother Tongue Language of the learners; and (3) language barrier between the teacher and the learners.

In a research conducted on Baguio City MTB-MLE teachers by Lartec, Belisario, Bendanillo, Binas-o, Bucang, and Cammagay (2014), they discovered that

the absence of books written in mother tongue, a lack of vo cabulary, and a lack of teacher training were the issues they experienced in the classroom. Similarly, Alberto, Gabinete, and Ranola (2016) found that teachers’ worries were related to the lack of teaching materials, which makes it hard for students to learn how to read, listen, speak, and write. In addition to these issues, there is a shortage of training for prospective teachers to teach mother tongue.

According to others, using MTB-MLE is quite unpopular because it causes misunder standing. Others attribute it as the primary reason for the low PISA scores. They say that we can’t be competitive in the world if we keep studying our native languages, which don’t have much of an impact on business, education, and politics, where English is used most of the time. However, I am a firm believer that even if our languages may not be hegemonic, our languages deserve to be learned before we lose them. And that’s practically the essence of the program.

If I had the chance to be an educational leader, I would seek active support from the LGU and other agencies. I will send out clear policies for parent involvement, relevant books, and other learning materials, activity-based learning opportu nities, and teacher training. More importantly, I am aware that I require funding sources. Even though the implementation isn’t perfect right now, I agree that it just needs to be “ironed out.” If a good team is in charge, learners won’t say that the MTB-MLE is a curse instead of a blessing.

REGIONAL MASS TRAINING FOR ALS TEACHERS HELD

By JASON D. PAKINO ALS Teacher, Opol Central School District of Opol, West Opol Misamis Oriental

A total of 77 ALS teach ers – 17 of them from the Division of Gingoog City and 60 from the Division of Misamis Oriental – have successfully participated in the Regional Mass Training of ALS Teachers on October 7-9, 2022.

Held at NEAP Region 10, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City, the three-day training aimed at informing, equipping and updating the participants on the importance of Republic Act 11510.

Otherwise known as the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Act, RA 11510 seeks to address the benefits and related needs of both the learners and the ALS Teachers.

It defines the two types of target learners, such as the “Out-of-School Children in Special Cases” . . . or children in official school age, who are

not enrolled in elementary or secondary school due to special cases, like economic, geographic, political, cultural, or social barriers.

Included in this type of learners are those with dis abilities or conditions, indig enous peoples, children in conflict with the law, learners in emergency situations, and other marginalized sectors.

The second type being the “Adults” – age 18 years old and above not able to begin or continue the basic elementary or secondary education in formal school.

Training participants were the EPSAs, with Dr. Joana Ruby L. Presente, ALS focal person of the Division of Misa mis Oriental, who is also the Inclusive Education Program Supervisor; and Education Program Specialist-II Cheryl D. Ubalde.

Keeping One’s Self Fit and Healthy

by: CHRISTINE MAE B. CABALLES Teacher I-Paquito S. Yu National High School Dumingag I District-Division of Zamboanga del Sur

The COVID19 pandemic is nearing its end. It leaves us with many stories to tell and lessons to learn. However, its fundamental learning is that we should always keep ourselves fit and healthy.

There is a lot we can do to improve our health and fitness. Some of the best ways to become healthy and well are to eat well, exercise, get enough rest, participate in recreational activities, and feed the soul.

The significance of eat ing the proper amount and variety of foods cannot be overstated. Meat, fish, and other protein-rich foods, as well as fruits and vegetables, must be included in the diet because they supply the nu trients needed by the body. Taking in enough amount of water is also important to keep one’s self hydrated.

To avoid getting sick, it is necessary to engage in physical activities. Exercis ing keeps the body physi cally active, improves brain health, aids in weight man agement, lowers the risk of disease, strengthens bones

and muscles, and maintains body system functionality.

It’s also important to get enough sleep. With so much to do in a day, resting is always a good idea. Taking time to “stop and smell the roses” is something that everyone should consider because it reduces the risk of serious health problems, reduces stress and improves mood, and allows one to think more clearly and perform better in school and at work.

Another thing to do dur ing a busy week is to engage in some recreational activities. It promotes social interac tion when done in a group setting. It enhances concen tration, self-confidence, selfawareness, and self-esteem when performed alone. It improves someone’s quality of life in whatever way it is done.

Feeding the soul is some thing to consider if you want to stay fit and healthy. Giving time to talk and thank the Creator for the borrowed life and abundant blessings is something that should be done regularly.

NO COLLECTION POLICY DepEd Order No. 41, s. 2012

IAN KIM J. LORENZANA Teacher-III

Stated in the 1987 Consti tution Article XIV, Sec. 2(1) states that the State shall es tablish and maintain a system of free public education in the elementary and high school levels. Without limiting the natural rights of parents to rear their children, elemen tary education is compulsory for all children of school age. DepEd is the biggest depart ment in our government and the recipient of the biggest national monetary budget every year for its operation.

An adequate amount ap propriate to the enrolment size is released to every public school in cash through the Maintenance and Other Op erating Expenses (MOOE) to ensure that funds are available at the start and throughout the school year operation.

In spite of the big budget allotted for the department of education, the department will still fail to deliver the quality services without the help and support of the dif ferent stakeholders. For not all the needs of the school is enough to be taken from the budget of MOOE for its continuous and sustainable operation. There are other

important needs which the school is incapable of sustain ing when it only relies on the appropriated budget.

Every school year has nu merous co-curricular activi ties and friendly competitions of the students and teachers in all learning areas of the Curriculum and the expenses needed is big to provide all the needs of the learners and teachers.

Aside from these men tioned, the schools are also involved in developing learn ing activities that need big ger budget like for example the training of athletes and coaches, procurement of ex tra sports equipment, mass training of teachers and etc.

These ordeals are not ordinary and these become a burden for every school head in the field that tries to manage the budget wisely. It is only ideal and realistic that the department of education amended some of the policies about no collection policy as stated in the Department Order No. 41, s. 2012 that cer tain specified amount maybe collected through Schools Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA) on voluntary basis.

The project, she said, was conceptualized in 2017 as part of the Spark Samar Development Agenda that highlights tourism and agri culture, the two main assets of the province.

“These are the main drivers for economic change coupled with good gover nance as the key foundation, to cut across all the pillars of our developmental goals that would eventually allow us to attain community transformation and eco

School administrative aide

By MICHAEL B. LAPIZ Administrative Assistant II Labo National High School

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 admin istrative 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 oth ers 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 teach ers; 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 ad ministrative 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 re cords of tardiness and early dismissals.

DepEd to abandon mother tongue as subject

By JOCELYN T VIRADOR Principal I Plaridel Elementary School Claveria West District

TEACHING the mother tongue or one’s native lan guage as a separate subject in schools may soon be aban doned, the Department of Education (DepEd) told sena tors on Monday, although it will remain as a medium of instruction from Kindergar ten to Grade 3.

We intend to abandon the mother tongue as a subject, which is a separate learn ing area in the curriculum. And we will simply use the

Dropping the subject would free up 50 minutes of teaching the mother tongue to learners. The time will instead be “reallocated” to the national reading and math programs.

charging stations across various estates in the coun try. We are excited by how these developments can help usher in new technolo gies, while also satisfying growing demand for more eco-conscious product and service offerings. We look forward to seeing more ini tiatives that can get us closer to our net zero objective.

With our environmental ambitions in sight, I believe we must also place ourselves on the path towards setting similarly bold social targets for the Ayala Group. More and more have we seen the far-reaching effects of longstanding social inequity and its lingering impacts on generations of Filipinos. Inequality breeds systemic risks across a multitude of challenges that are pervasive and complex. This neces sitates an intersectionality in our own approaches, and a continuous examination of how we can do well by doing right and doing good.

Our teams are now hard at work in putting together a framework to uphold dignity and equality for our stake holders, enable an ecosystem of support for our partners, and strengthen the social fabric of the communities we interact with. We should continue to champion in novation across our BUs to allow wider access and greater affordability of prod ucts and services that can improve the quality of life of Filipinos. We must invest in our people for the future of work, so that they are equipped and empowered to benefit from the changes transforming the way we do business.

Critical to the develop ment of this social agenda is also paying closer atten tion to the importance and concretization of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles and practices. A deliberate DEI strategy al lows us to truly encourage employees to bring their whole selves to work and promote meaningful and informed participation without any fear of dis crimination or retaliation.

On the topic of diversity, I am happy to have seen our Board of Directors wel come new additions whose unique perspectives and experiences will continue to provide new insights in the way we navigate the many changes that come our way. Female directors currently make up 42.86% of our board. I hope to see more dynamism and diver sity across the boards of all our BUs to drive meaningful change and shared value.

Regarding governance, we have robust systems that have always been part of the Ayala DNA. In the last few months alone, we have seen this at work, as we instituted rapid changes and continue to navigate through enormous transi tions.

As we continue our sus tainability journey, we find

ourselves constantly learn ing how to embed our grow ing ESG considerations into our strategic planning and decision-making processes. Climate governance has become an area we need to continuously upskill on, as the current climate emer gency makes it imperative for us to understand and act upon the risks and op portunities posed by climate change.

Across the region, we are also learning from our peers and neighbors who have made great strides in advocating for greater diversity in the boardroom. We take inspiration from organizations such as the Council for Board Diversity, whose efforts to reduce the number of all-male boards in Singapore have yielded successful results, proving that diversity can co-exist with meritocracy, if only we took the chance to look be yond our usual candidates.

I hope that we can all work together to continue to institutionalize these ESG practices across the group. I believe that sustainability will become a mainstay in the way we do business, as we reckon with the ef fects of climate change and the systemic problems that inequality has caused over centuries of doing business as usual.

In the face of complex challenges such as those that the last two years have shown us, we are called to become steward leaders, with a responsibility to care for future generations, the environment, and society at large. It is this mindset of stewardship and guid ing principle of creating shared value that will pave the way towards long-term resilience, sustainability, and equality. The profound challenges that businesses face today demand a culture of transformation, guided by a tenacity and desire for lasting change.

This transformation be gins with a shift in mindset – one that finds the right balance and confluence between profit and purpose, builds environments of em powerment, and embraces innovation and experimen tation. Shifting mindsets and building a culture of transformation is no easy feat. It is a transition char acterized by courage, com mitment, and collaboration, and certainly one I hope we can all navigate together.

There are three things that I think are critical in shifting mindsets for a

sustainable and equitable future:

• First, enabling this transition to happen re quires us to reimagine ex isting systems, structures, and business models, and have the conviction to act on the changes we want to see. It also requires us to acknowledge that we won’t always have the answers to the problems we need to solve.

We rely on so many other people, companies, organi zations, and governments, recognizing our intercon nectedness and understand ing that our success depends on the success of others and vice versa.

On these efforts at rei magination, I am proud at the work that we have done to explore new ways of fun draising and doing business. Early this year, the Inter national Finance Corpora tion invested $100 million in what is the Philippines first social bond focused on healthcare. Through this investment, AC Health will have additional resources in its mission to make af fordable quality healthcare accessible for all through ex panding their clinic, generic pharmacies, and hospital network – including the country’s first cancer care hospital – and its digital health initiatives.

Noteworthy also is ACEN’s and BPI’s collab orative effort at energy transition financing. Adopt ing principles of the Asian Development Bank’s en ergy transition mechanism, this loan facility will allow ACEN to decommission our coal-fired power plant at Calaca, Batangas by 2040, 15 years ahead of the end of its technical life, as well as allow us to reinvest capi tal into renewable energy projects.

• Aside from reimaging systems, structures, and models, mindset shifts also need continuous reinforce ment to make culture and behavior change real. It is a process of constant creation, underpinned by actions and reactions that reflect the real sentiments of all stakeholders involved.

At Ayala, we have learning and training pro grams that can continue to strengthen the values and skills we need to cultivate this mindset of sustainabil ity and stewardship. Our Summits can also continue to champion new ways of thinking and inspire cou rageous imagination and proactive responsibility in

the way we do things.

With all our initiatives, we must always recognize efforts to acknowledge the progress made and look forward to what more we can achieve.

Part of this change man agement also requires us to revisit our legacy systems and procedures, reflect ing on the evaluation and incentive processes and schemes we have in place and reimagining what they might look like for the future we want to build.

• Lastly, and following from reimagination and constant reinforcement, this transformation will not be a success unless there is active participation from everyone – from our lead ership to our stakeholders. We need to listen intently, engage deeply, and learn quickly in order to facili tate purposeful mindset shifts. Active participation also means embodying a mentality of ownership, acknowledging one’s own abilities, and realizing the power we have to make things happen.

To close, as we proceed along the path to recovery in the wake of the pandemic, we will continue to face several persistent and new challenges.

It will not be business as usual; and the old ways of working that we have become accustomed to may not be fully relevant any more. Our sustainability journey requires a transfor mation of culture, systems, and processes and demands courageous imagination and active participation from all of us. I hope that we will all work together in ensuring these important mindset shifts take place and lead to a sustainable and equitable future – for our sake and for future generations’.

Thank you very much and I look forward to our discussions today.

This year, DOH-10 has started to implement the program by conduct ing training of trainers to Department of Education (DepEd) nurses to facili tate the eye screening of kindergarten pupils.

Mindset Shifts for a Sustainable and Equitable Future

A warm welcome to our guests today:

• Gail Whiteman of Arc tic Basecamp

• Rajeev Peshawarya of Stewardship Asia Centre

• Lois Guthrie of the IFRS Foundation

• Anouk Heilen from Unilever

• Mayor Alfredo M. Coro, II of Del Carmen, Siargao

And to all our colleagues in the Ayala Group, thank you for joining us in our annual Integrated Corporate Governance, Risk Manage ment, and Sustainability Summit.

I would like to con gratulate Albert de Lar razabal, Mon Hemosura, Vickie Tan, Cathy Ang, and our organizing team for gathering us once again to hold space for important conversations and learn from thought leaders in sustainability, governance, and risk management. At this pivotal moment in time, these topics are of utmost importance and relevance as we continue to rebuild from a difficult last two

years.

Despite the many signs signaling that things are looking up, the road to re covery and resilience is chal lenged by global headwinds that threaten the political and economic fundamen tals on which our business relies. Our health system continues to bear the brunt of addressing a two-year ongoing pandemic, and the emergence of new diseases has made more glaring the importance of basic health services and its accessibility to people. Rising geopoliti cal tensions have impacted the world over, affecting global supply chains, trade, and economic activity, and most importantly, leaving human lives upended by ongoing wars and conflicts. All of these continue to exacerbate already existing and long-standing inequal ity, which breeds systemic risks that affect all of us.

The complex nature of these challenges demands significant levels of perse verance and collaboration to tackle them. We are firm

in our belief that business have so much to offer to help address these challenges.

At Ayala, our sustain ability agenda and ESG commitments respond to the call for businesses to do their part in building a sustainable and equitable future. It is through these ef forts that we hold ourselves accountable to all our stake holders and understand what opportunities we can work on to help safeguard

our planet and people.

During last year’s sum mit, we announced our cli mate ambition of achieving Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050. Since then, we have started on this journey by engaging South Pole. Our strategy focuses on the net zero roadmap of the four core business units from full accounting and validation of emissions, to intervention assessments, to setting science-referenced

targets. Ayala Land and ACEN have both completed their greenhouse gas emis sions baselining, including complex Scope 3 emissions in their value chains.

Other business units are likewise following through with their own net zero journeys. With these devel opments in the pipeline, we aim to have a comprehensive Net Zero Roadmap ready by end of next year.

We have also been ex

ploring how we can play a more active role in enabling the electric vehicle ecosys tem in the Philippines. We have started by building up manufacturing capabilities across the EV value chain with our various partners at IMI. AC Motors is also getting ready to introduce new electric models, be ginning with the Kia EV6, while Ayala Land is gearing up to launch its first set of
