PhilHealth-10 bares benefit package for women

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (PIA)–The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) is promoting the wellbeing of women through its various benefit packages.

During the “Kababaihan Para sa Kalambuan” talk show spearheaded by the Department of Tourism-10, PhilHealth-10 Public Affairs Unit (PAU) head Merlyn Ybañez said PhilHealth ensures that pregnant women are well taken care of during their pregnancy stage under the maternity care package.

The said package is set at P6,500 if availed of in accredited hospitals and P8,000 in birthing homes or maternity clinics. It consists of essential health services during the antenatal period, labor, normal delivery, and immediate postpartum period. For caesarian deliveries in hospitals, it is set at P19,000

Ybañez stated that the maternity care package requires at least four prenatal visits during pregnancy to detect and manage possible signs of complications and reduce the risk of perinatal deaths. If members do not receive the recommended prenatal

11,000 Davao workers receive cash aid from Cong. Paolo Duterte, DOLE

DAVAO CITY – The Office of First Congressional District Representative Paolo Z. Duterte, with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) 11, so far aided over 10,000 identified beneficiaries of the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) since 2022.

The First Congressional District Office recorded 11,019 beneficiaries received their TUPAD payout since October 2022, including the 580 beneficiaries – vendors, tailors, school maintenance, hair stylists/barbers, and cobbler, among others –who received the assistance recently.

Rep. Duterte hopes the TUPAD program can help the beneficiaries' families during the challenging times, encouraging them to continually support the government's efforts to provide programs for disadvantaged and displaced

workers. The First District Office and DOLE profiled the beneficiaries.

TUPAD is a community–based package of assistance that offers emergency service for displaced, underemployed, and seasonal workers for at least 10 days, but not more than 30 days, depending on the nature of their work.

Most workers – primarily displaced and disadvantaged, unemployed, and senior citizens – from the informal sector will work on tree planting, community gardening, reforestation, road cleaning, drainage/canal de-clogging, community clean-up, and refurbishment of tourist attractions.

Rep. Duterte said they will continue to support those who are in need. The DOLE also guaranteed that the TUPAD program will continue to implement its flagship emergency employment program for distressed workers despite a limited budget.

FIRSTLY, students and teachers have realised how exhausting it is to be on screens all day long. Remote learning has reminded us that powerful learning can only happen when we are engaged, energetic and focussed. If it becomes a question of filling in hours then we are missing the point. This is why good practice during this remote learning experience has been to reduce screen time and modify the curriculum accordingly. Online sessions between 15 to 30 minutes are most effective. This must cause some reflection on how effective current models of education are where students are in classrooms for hours upon

hours with few breaks. Second, schools have understood that this is not just remote learning, it is learning during a pandemic. Anxiety, uncertainty, fear and isolation have become more prevalent. Checking in with students to make sure that they are coping has become extremely important, as has allowing students opportunities to connect with one another in chats or video conferences during remote lessons. Keeping the ritual of schooling, with its registrations and moments of social interaction and students staying in contact with their peers and friends is important psychologically during this crisis.

These philosophies brought a great impact in the educational approaches of every civilization that followed – whether in Europe, China, Egypt, India, Japan or elsewhere. The systematic provision of learning techniques to most children such as literacy has been a development of the last 150 or 200 years or even the last 50 years in some countries. Schools for the young have historically been supplemented with advanced training for priests, bureacrats and specialists.

Today, as we grapple with the coronavirus has begun. Students are using several online-learning platforms to join daily meetings with teachers and classmates.

Some schools have paid for their classes to take place on Google Hangouts Meet or use Zoom. Webinars are live, usually interactive events that take place online. Instructors use audio and visual communication to share data, skills or information with their virtual students. The software for these programs allows teachers (or students) to share slides or uploaded pages. The group then can share or discuss these in real-time through chat boxes or other features.

Some platforms also allow a webinar to be recorded and viewed by invited users ata later date.

They were once the masters of the land that no one owned because private ownership is not in their language based on the strong belief that no one can own land which outlast him. They asked, “How can you own something that will outlast you? You cannot own the land; the land will own you.” Their ancestors passed on to them the use of the land in the spirit of Res Communis (no one owns but everyone uses). And rightfully so because just like forest, water and air, land is a means to life and must not be used for so much rakings by a few.

form of corporate globalization bringing their version of a flawed lifestyle that is founded on the material pursuit of instant wealth and power. And everything was not the same again… forever.

For thousands of years, they had lived abundantly in a land oozing with ecological resources in the spirit of sharing and service to one another.

In Mountain Province, the indigenous Peoples in that place even collectively transformed the land into rice terraces, using technologies that trust in the inherent processes of nature. They were one with nature, knowing when to plant just by looking at the stars. Look up to the Big Dipper and when the cup-like formation of stars appears that as if it is tilted that water will flow, then that is a sign that there will be rain. They had no pharmacy then but no problem, they know what herb to take to cure whatever ailment they had.

They wanted to eat fruits or meat? No problem, the 17-million hectares dipterocarp forest is home to flora and fauna, the richest in the world as the Philippines was home then to endemic species not found anywhere else in the world.

The Lumads woke-up to a new kind of reality of private ownership. Then suddenly, land titles came about, vesting land ownership to individuals or corporations where haciendas or big plantations sprouted. What happened to our Lumads? They have become squatters in their own land as they have no papers to show in terms of ownership. Are the thousands of years of occupation conclusive proof of ownership? Not at all, as far as these neo-liberal capitalists are concerned. Thus, it came to pass that our people lost the forest, their lands, the choicest of land.

Of the 17 million hectares, only less than 500,000 hect ares remain as the loggers would earn 400,000 million pesos just in one shipment alone.

These logging activities happened in the last 100 years as the Philippines supply the timber needs of the world for the last century.

Where are they now? They are tilling the land as agricultural workers of these big plantations or pushed to the marginalized hilly areas

As we lost our forest being the invisible water dams, some 15 or the 25 major rivers are now either dried-up or silted; of the 13 major bays, 10 are already biologi cally dead. The massive destruction of the ecosystems has made the ecological people especially the LUMADS as the poorest of the poor.

When they would stand up for the cause of the environment, they will be killed like that of the case of Datu Sandigan Fausto Orasan when in September of 2014, was killed for protecting the environment. After foreign colonizers, new colonizers came in the

It is shocking to know how oppressed the Indigenous Peoples are. Their ancestral domain has been illegally grabbed and transformed into plantations or ranches in gross violation of their right as embodied in the Indigenous Peoples’ rights Act.

School management

By: MA. CENSUSA ABUEL Principal I St. John Elementary School

ANY institution needs management. A school is definitely one of them. Aside from managing fellow faculty and staff, one needs to manage the students too. Some of them can be problematic especially if they are minors whether they’re in elementary or secondary. Whereas elementary kids can be noisy in the classroom, secondary studes’ concerns can be more serious, ranging from possible use of illegal drugs within the school campus to bullying and physically assaulting other students, etc. And since the school’s students are also minors, it is also part of management’s job to take

the concerns of the parents into consideration.

Thus, the ideal time for DepEd to appoint a principal to a new school must be every April. In this way, he or she will have two more months to prepare for the incoming academic year which will start by June. The new principal can also familiarize with the environment inside the school campus. Remember that each atmosphere of each school is unique. You have to take into consideration the culture of the people in that particular barangay where the school is situated. You also have to count in the “tradition” factor i.e. activities or policies that

have been practiced in the school which are not seen elsewhere.

Classroom management is beyond making lesson plans. It is beyond interacting with each student in the room individually. It is the holistic actions that you do in managing your class as the room adviser. It can be as trivial as establishing procedures on when should a student speaks. Many teachers establish these rules at the beginning of the school year. In short, classroom management is the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly, implying the prevention of disruptive behavior.

Post Covid-19 pandemic and its impact to education

By: RIO J. DINOROG SHS Teacher III Misamis Occidental National High School Bernad St., Pob.1, Oroquieta City

NOTHING compared to the abrupt and profound changes the Covid-19 pandemic has brought in global scale.

Among the worst impact was felt in our education system where in many countries schools were forced to shutdown and the education department scampering for alternatives in order not to disrupt learning.

It’s effect was so devastating as it sets back progress made on global development goals, particularly those focused on education.

The economic crises within countries and globally also caused authorities to enforce fiscal austerity. This resuts to increased poverty, and fewer resources available for investments in public services from

both domestic expenditure and development aid.

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought us crisis in human development that is projected to continue even after disease transmission has ended.

Disruptions to education systems over the past year have already driven substantial losses and inequalities in learning.

All the efforts to provide remote instruction are laudable, but this has been a very poor substitute for in-person learning.

Even more concerning, many children, particularly girls, have not returned to school even when classes already resumed.

Schools, however, have

Learners Morality: A Challenge for Teachers

Teaching has grown more challenging since an increasing number of learners today have extreme behaviors that are afflicting and disheartening to teachers.

It is quite alarming that violent offenders nowadays include teenagers and children. Unfortunately, some are blaming it on teachers’ negligence.

The role of a teacher is to mold learners into knowledgeable, technically proficient, effective, and contributing members of society in order to assist them in obtaining employment after they graduate.

Beyond these cursory goals, teachers cultivate learners’ sense of purpose

By: ARACELI B. MELLIZA

by developing them to be better human beings. Individuals who are mindful, aware of the realties, has a sense of integrity and reach the fullness of their beings as humans.

But is it really just under a teacher’s responsibility?

Parents are powerful influencers to their children, and values are first learned at home. It is the foundation from which we grow and begin to identify ourselves.

The populace, which consists of friends and peers, can also impact one’s personality especially on adolescence stage. Where most children spend more time away from home to study and become more aware of the different

values and morals. They develop their capability to compare and contrast different point of views.

It is important to understand that as learners age, they develop their own value systems and go through personal development. Their environment, including their peers, family, teachers, and friends, has an impact on it. They may eventually turn to juvenile crime if moral standards are not imparted in them throughout their formative years simply because to them the act won’t seem immoral or wrong. In consequence, upholding the values and moralities of our learners is everyone’s responsibility.

played a critical role around the world in ensuring the delivery of essential health services and nutritious meals, protection, and psycho-social support. Thus, school closures have also imperilled children’s overall wellbeing and development, not just their learning.

It’s not enough for schools to simply reopen their doors after COVID-19. Students will need tailored and sustained support to help them readjust and catch-up after the pandemic.

Helping schools prepare to provide that support and meet the enormous challenges of the months ahead is vital. The time to act is now; the future of an entire generation is at stake.

Garbage Segregation Sorting Machine using Raspberry Pi

By: Nathalie Joy G. Casildo IT Faculty College of Information Sciences and Computing Central Mindanao University

RAPID increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste as a result of continuous economic growth, urbanization and industrialization is becoming a burgeoning problem for national and local governments to ensure effective and sustainable management of waste.

The economical value of waste is best realized when it is segregated. Segregation of waste at dumping sites consumes more time and manpower.

The economic value of the waste generated is not realized unless it is recycled completely. When the waste is segregated into basic streams such as wet, dry and metallic, the waste has a higher potential of recovery and consequently, recycled and reused. The wet waste fraction is often converted either into compost or methane – gas or both. The metallic waste can be reused or recycled. Even though there are large scale industrial waste segregators

Mambuaya NHS: Behind Books, Beyond Blackboards

“Socio-emotional skills are expected to facilitate academic achievement and develop wellrounded, wholesome and life-long learners in a fast-changing world”, quoted by former DepEd Secretary Jesli Lapuz.

This is part and parcel of how the K-12 curriculum envisions Filipino learners to be holistically developed. They are expected to possess skills on communication, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration along with the strengthening of their physical, cognitive, socio-emotional, and moral foundations. All these comprise the 21st century knowledge, skills, competencies, and attitude that learners need to possess to successfully meet the demands and hurdle the challenges in work and life in the current era.

present, it is always much better to segregate at the source itself. The benefits of doing so are that a higher quality of the material is retained for recycling which means that more value can be recovered from the waste.

The occupational hazard for waste workers is reduced. Also, the segregated waste can be directly sent to the recycling and processing plant instead of sending it to the segregation plant than to the recycling plant.

However, as children progresses into the adolescent stage, they are challenged by the dynamics of their hormonal, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes. This milestone of adjustments and the pressures of the environment in this stage often cause adolescent to develop certain levels of anxiety, depression, poor self-perceptions, and low self-esteem.

Thus, as the prime movers of education, it is our duty to respond effectively to the changing needs of our learners and condition of the nation as stated in the Education Act of 1982, Chapter 2 Sec. 4. This calls upon teachers’ and school leaders’ commitment in providing proper avenues for students to uphold their interests and optimize their potentials.

In response to this, Mambuaya National High School has taken its first step towards the adaptation of Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) Interventions. Two of the teachers- Hermie L. Amper and Beverly Anne E. Nicolasora, ventured into the conceptualization of the first SEL intervention using technology. Hence, the action research “Mindfulness in Minecraft: A Digital Game-Based Socio-Emotional Learning Intervention among Selected Students was conducted. This was implemented during the pandemic in 2022.

The intervention utilized the Mindful Knight Game in the Minecraft Education as the platform where learners are immersed into the virtual experience of situations stimulating varying and changing emotions. The different challenges set in the game allowed learners to self-process different feelings- both positive and negative. Primarily, it aimed at the improvement of the learner’s self-perceived socioemotional skills in the areas of self-awareness, self-regulation, and social management.

The cultivation of the socioemotional competence of the learners basically promotes the fundamental role of education which is to develop a whole child. To meet the challenges in the 21st century and become a lifelong learner one must have a deep understanding of himself before he or she could extend understanding towards others. It is also equally vital that students be able to effectively master and regulate their own emotions. Consequently, a well-established self-awareness

and self-regulation can lead to better understanding towards other people’s perspective promoting positive social relationships.

Banking on the promising results of the conduct of the intervention in improving the self-perceived socio-emotional competence of the participants and their views in handling negative and challenging situations, compels the program implementers to continue the roll out of the intervention.

Moreover, the second cycle will be implemented focusing on the learners who are observed to have shown aggressive behaviorsverbally and physically with the specific target on reinforcing the cultivation of empathy as socioemotional skill.

It is also a long-term goal of the implementers to establish contextualized research-based evidence that indeed socioemotionally skilled learners can cope with everyday challenges. Consequently, learners be able to process problems and give effective solutions, control impulses and regulate emotions and have harmonious relationship with people around. And whether SEL interventions can give impact to learner’s academic performance.

Thus, Mambuaya National High School, as an institution continues to believe that when children are supported to thrive in school, it will bring ripples of positive effects to the community making it better and stronger.

Capitalizing on this belief, the institution has geared toward moving behind books and beyond blackboards.

Just Few Secrets On How To Manage Stress In The Field of Teaching

By: Maybelle R. Lacre Camaman-an Elementary School Division of Cagayan de Oro City

Teachers are specialists at delivering sensible elucidations and teachings. They are equipped with ways of collaborating information and are proficient in techniques to develop success in their learners. But are they effective at learning themselves about how to deal with one of the prime challenges teachers face? Are they snooping to what they can easily impart to others about well-being and health? Are educators getting the note that they need to deal with the elevation degrees of stress linked with their professions? Some may say it is not the case because teacher stress is still a much topical matter in educators’ circles.

Teaching career is a demanding job that necessitates the ability to cope with stress. Possibly teachers then, are among one of the easiest groups to learn basic stress management practices. They are very much aware of the need to manage stress and how it connects to our overall wellness. Here are some great means for people who spend their professional lives leading others to manage the stress that comes with their jobs.

1. What is instigating your stress?

As with dealing with any difficulty, identifying it is a necessary

first phase. Try writing a list of aspects of your eventful life, your work, your learners, your superior, your family and other paths where you are feeling stressed. Consider two tactics to the list: things you have some control over… and the things beyond your control. Where there is control, there may be solutions! Place in order your list with the biggest issues at the top. Use lifelike and positive language when working through these solutions.

2. Be accurate about your objectives

Even when they are encompassed by daily “to do” lists or weekly goals of what to get done, “seeing” your amount of work is one step closer to getting through it.You will achieve more success as you hit items off your list, and don’t worry about the things remaining if they can be easily carried over to the succeeding list, or not completed at all! Take notice of all you have done. Recognize when things that didn’t get done weren’t really under your control. If you end up doing something that wasn’t on your list … put it on anyway just for the pleasure of crossing it off!

Use your unrestricted up time for things you love, like talking with your learners, helping out where

it wasn’t expected, or go outside for a break!

3. Seek out your co-teachers

It’s highly questionable you are the only one in your environment dealing with job related stress. Teachers and school authorities need to inspire a dialogue among employees about stress management. Sometimes this is accomplished through artless assessments or questionnaires. Emerging forums where these matters can be discussed openly are helpful too. The foremost objective should be for teachers to dialogue together to decide themselves how hard to work. Sharing of ideas, tips and actions are a great means for feeling connected to colleagues too. Educators need to take control and accept some responsibility for how they perform as teachers. But be mindful that discussing it with co-teachers is different from talking to school administrators behind their back. Because, at the end of the day, teachers are expected to observe maximum professionalism at all times. Talking to people behind their back is not the work of professionals.

I have been teaching mathematics for both secondary and college for more than 15 years and the experience I have gained as a professional teacher made me understand how important that concepts in mathematics is clearly understood at the same time made me appreciate of my mathematics learning from elementary education. I strongly believe that elementary mathematics significantly affects learners’ achievement in this subject. The very foundation of mathematics that has to be built in elementary dictates how learners perform in their high school mathematics. Thus, learners with strong foundation in elementary mathematics generally outperforms learners who have weak foundation.

Recently, the Philippines has been identified as one of the countries who performed poorly in mathematics, this is a sad reality that DepEd has to confront as the quality of education is put in question. While the agency has been pressing forward for better access in education to all Filipinos the quality seems to be lagging behind.

In mathematics, several studies have shown the significant contribution of mathematical misconceptions in mathematics learning. Studies have shown a direct effect of how learners perceived mathematics as a subject which then influences their behavior – engagement and

participation – inside the class. Additionally, studies have shown that there are three cognitive skills that are important in mathematics learning; conceptual, procedural and working memory. These three are interconnected but conceptual and procedural are strongly interrelated. This implies, that correct understanding of mathematical concepts determines the procedural skills of learners. Although, it is not established as to which among the two has to be developed first based from available literatures, but these two are not stand alone. One cannot developed without the other, thus it is clear that developmental stages in mathematics learning which is from elementary to high school are very crucial in strengthening learners ability in this discipline.

Unfortunately, the educational paradigm we embraced at present seems to be the very culprit of this predicament. Elementary mathematics is very important, the fundamental of mathematics is laid out in this stage. However, in many cases than not, teachers assigned to this subject may simply be compelled to teach but not necessarily their preferred subject, the fact that there is no major subject in elementary my impression can be logically acceptable. As a college instructor before, I was given an opportunity to teach education students for elementary teaching, it was then that a picture was presented to

me, almost all of these students like sciences subjects but they do not like mathematics! I was tongue-tied, I cannot imagine how these teachers will be able to carry out their tasks in teaching elementary mathematics in the near future.

There is a simple logic I just wanted to present, if a teacher finds the subject difficult or challenging the person may have few knowledge of that subject this will mean that even that teacher has misconceptions of that subject. Eventually, these misconceptions are being taught and it is difficult to put the teacher liable on that when the very person is not even aware that those were misconceptions. In fact, it was found out that even in math major teachers some misconceptions exist!

There is a multitude of facets that have to be taken into consideration when we talk about quality, it has a wide spectrum with intertwining connections from one factor to another, so understandingly, this is no easy job to our leaders in the agency. Nevertheless, it has to be confronted one at a time and ensure to make significant progress even how little it is and be able to sustain it. DepEd is one of the biggest government organization in our country hence if our leaders can be able to figure out how to harness the power of numbers, concerns in mathematics learning will significantly improve.

But for those 1,000 families whose ancestral domain has been land grabbed, they are now living along the highways of Quezon, Bukidnon just eating once a day or nothing at all. The legs of their children have to be tied up as they are prone to be hit by running cars. That’s how oppressed the Indigenous Peoples are! Indeed, Gaia or Mother Earth is now in severe pain and so are the Indigenous Peoples. We are now in the state of planetary emergency. Time is running out. We need now a robust movement to be the countervailing force against climate change and against the oppression of the Indigenous Peoples.

How to help children and teens manage their stress

By: ALMA A. USOP Project Development Officer Division of Zamboanga Sibugay

IN the short term, stress can push a child to practice for her piano recital or inspire a teen to study when he’d rather be out with friends. But chronic stress—for example, from unrelenting pandemic-related pressures, social unrest, or violence—is different. Left unchecked, long-term stress can contribute to a long list of physical and mental health problems. Prolonged stress can cause high blood pressure, weaken the immune system, and contribute to diseases such as obesity and heart disease. It can also lead to mental health problems such as anxiety and depression—disorders that are becoming more common in youth.

Stress in young people doesn’t always look like stress in adults. But like adults, children and teens—even

those with life-altering losses—can find healthy ways to cope. Together, young people and their parents or caregivers can learn to spot the signs of excess stress and, with the right tools, manage it.

For young children, tension at home is a common source of stress. Children may be troubled by family discord, divorce, or loss, for example. Even happy changes, such as a new home, the arrival of a new sibling, or a beloved new stepparent can be hard on a child.

School is another frequent source of concern for kids. Young children might be stressed about making friends, dealing with bullies, or getting along with their teachers. They might also be anxious about tests and grades.

The 21st century has paved the way for the inevitable rise of technology which came the high reliance on connectivity. In transitioning to SMART campuses, the biggest leaders and governments will need to keep the lights on and ensure that the network connectivity will be able to accommodate the large scale within which network will be used. Cyber security is another aspect that needs to be given utmost attention. As we are living in the digital era. The transition from traditional to smart campuses to be smooth, the leaders in the field of education needs to have methods of protecting data/information. With the ease that digitization has provided, one of the biggest threats is cyber security.

The educational sector is a space that highly values educational integrity and strongly admonishes academic dishonesty. In preparing for SMART campuses, the leaders should place stringent security measures where academic integrity will continue to strive and teaching and learning will continue. To make a smooth transition from

traditional to smart campus the teachers, students, stakeholders and communities should make digital citizenship a priority as making This a priority will not only allow everyone to navigate towards change safely but also allow it to handle other technological advancement dilemmas.

Additionally, science and technology cannot be denied of the importance and benefits it brings in our life, especially in learning environment. The symbiosis between science, technology, and innovation helped the learning process into the betterment and give much more opportunities to students to explore the world through creating and building process. It is inevitable to include science, tech and innovation into the classroom and broaden the way of teaching for a better future. One thing that often overlook is to provide the educator with enough knowledge to teach first to ensure the student will receive the right info with the right teaching techniques. Failure to create this bridge will not only create a comprehension gap but

also waste resources. Pilot project and get the feedback from all stakeholders so we can identified the gap and challenges, and make an improvement before moving forward.

Subsequently, the global landscape of science and technology will be broaden and more deeper in the years to come as the existing technological innovations will be upgraded to contribute towards sustainable development goals. In basic education this might complement the already exciting information and communication technology to transfer data to more advanced level. This will also involve different levels of student and teacher involvement through different Artificial intelligence approaches. One necessary preparation that leaders must have in education sector for smooth transition is acceptance of the new student body who are now digital natives, they should bind career with technological advancements. They should move forward using advancement that other sectors have grown accustomed too.
