VP Sara: Transpo strike disrupts efforts to address learning gaps

By Stephanie Sevillano

MANILA – Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte on Monday reiterated that the weeklong transport strike poses a harmful effect on the country’s recovery efforts to address learning gaps.

In a statement, Duterte underscored how the move is taking a toll on learners and teachers as operations of a significant volume of public utility jeepneys nationwide are halted.

“May I reiterate —the transport strike is a painful interference in our efforts to address the learning gaps and other woes in our education system,” she said.

“We oppose it because it is problematic, it will hurt our learners, and the incon-

venience that it may cause comes with an enormous price deleterious to learning recovery efforts —and this is a price that learners will have to pay,” she added.

Duterte made the reiteration after the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT)-Philippines and Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (PISTON) expressed objection over her weekend opposition statement on the transport strike.

The Department of Education (DepEd) also insisted it would not impose a suspension of classes nationwide.

“Magkaroon man ng tigil pasada, walang tigil sa pag-aaral ang mga kabataan (There may be halt

to transport operations, we will not put the youth’s education on hold),” she said.

The DepEd earlier said it will resort to alternative learning modes like the use of modules or online classes.

Statement of fact

Meanwhile, Duterte said she is not red-tagging the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT)-Philippines and Pinagkalsang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operators Nationwide (PISTON) after calling the move “communist-inspired.” “Happily cavorting with PISTON and other militant organizations is ACT, a group that is diametrically nowhere near in the service of the interest of the learners and the education sector.

LTFRB: Only 10% of NCR routes affected by transport strike

By Raymond Carl Dela Cruz

MANILA – The transport strike staged by various public transport groups against the public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program (PUVMP) has affected only 10 percent of routes in the National Capital Region (NCR), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) reported on Monday.

In a press briefing at the LTFRB office in East Avenue, Quezon City, LTFRB Technical Division chief Joel Bolano said rescue buses and

This is not red-tagging. This is a statement of fact,” she said.

BFAR awards P16.7-M livelihood aid to salt makers, fishers

By Leilanie Adriano

LAOAG CITY – The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on Friday awarded various projects worth more than PHP16 million to boost the livelihood of salt makers and fisherfolk in the province.

Vanessa Abegail Dagdagan, senior aquaculturist at the BFAR, said the assistance included materials for salt production, storage, packaging, and labeling, as well as capacity building and nutritional analysis. Some of the projects were turned over to 216 salt producers on Friday at the Regional Freshwater Aquaculture Technology Demonstration Center(RFATDeC) of the BFAR in Paoay town, Ilocos Norte province.

On the same day, four associations and 16 registered individual fisherfolk of salt and fish production enhancement projects also received fishing gear and paraphernalia such as "lambaklad" and hook and line gear.

“This is funded under the Bayanihan 1 and 2 programs for a total of PHP16,706,165.05 to help salt makers and fisherfolk

in the towns of Burgos, Pasuquin, Vintar, Badoc, Currimao and Pinili,” said BFAR regional director Rosario Segundina Gaerlan.

Tilapia fingerlings for dispersal to communal bodies of water were also given to the different local government units to boost the aquaculture program of the province.

Under Republic Act 8172, or the Act for Salt Iodization Nationwide (ASIN) Law, concerned national government agencies are required to identify suitable areas for use as salt farms

to protect the areas from environmental risks and ensure the sustainability of iodized salt production. Prior to the awarding of the salt iodizing machine, the beneficiaries underwent hands-on training on how

to use and maintain it.

In her message, Gaerlan reiterated the importance of iodine for animal and human consumption to eliminate micronutrient malnutrition in the country. (PNA)

NO TO TRANSPORT STRIKE. The Federation of Transport Operators in Central Luzon said on Friday (March 3, 2023) it will not join the planned nationwide transport strike next week.

Her “lungs” (the forests) are almost gone. In the Philippines, only 8% of that “lungs” remain as the 17 million hectares of dipterocarp forests have been ravaged, causing the massacre of all life forms that dwelt in the forest ecosystem. In the uplands of Cagayan de Oro, the 200 thousand hectares of dipterocarp forest had been totally logged without let-up for five decades by six logging companies that had violated all the environmental laws prohibiting them to log in areas with altitude of more than one thousand meters above sea level or in slope with more than 50% gradient. All areas logged by the loggers were within these prohibited zones. They did not even do their obligation to do replanting. The DENR must be made accountable why that office did not enforce the environmental laws.

`This environmental tragedy happened in just a century alone as our country had supplied the timber needs of the world through intensive and massive logging. The loggers’ gargantuan rakings have formed a strong cabal of vested

interest with imprimatur from powers-that-be who were in power then despite their horrible crimes committed against Gaia. From out of their rakings, they bought votes and shamelessly portrayed themselves as pro-nature. Oh, when will we ever learn? Gumising na po tayo!

Her “veins” (the rivers) are either drained or heavily polluted as 25 major rivers in our country are biologically dead. We have already lost 75% of our mangroves (the spawning grounds of fish) and only 5% is in excellent condition.

Our coral reefs, that delicate gift from Providence have been heavily destroyed through dynamite fishing and “muro ami.” How stupid were we when during the time of the dictatorship, the Philippines entered into an agreement with Japan (the RP-Japan Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation) which allowed the Japanese computerized trawlers and fishing vessels to literally rake our seas. The Philippines was described then as the “center of the center of marine life on earth.” Now gone forever!

Her “fever” (global warming) lingers, causing Her so much discomfort, i.e. colds (storms), sneezing (typhoons), shakings (earthquakes), and deliriums (tsunamis). Her “stom-

ach” (the oceans) is now so upset as the seas rise and the glaciers melt. Her “skin” (the 6-inch top layer of the earth – the soil that gives life) has been scalped through mindless mining operations and “blood” (the water table) has been injected with toxic chemicals through conventional agriculture, thanks to a government agency that has been beholden to the interest of big agri-business corporations.

All told, Gaia has been sacrificed to the altar of greed and profit based on a flawed development paradigm, giving credence to money must grow principle called neo-liberal capitalism. Unbridled materialism and consumerism has given way to the over-eating and obesity in the North while billions of people go hungry in the South.

We are now facing an alarming ecological crisis that unless soon averted will lead to an impending ecologically-based politi -

VIRGINIA RECONALLA

The occasion, which coincided with Muntinlupa’s 28th Cityhood Anniversary, was held at the jampacked Muntinlupa Sports Center last March 1 and was attended by city officials, representatives of national agencies, the business sector, Muntinlupa’s top taxpayers, civic and other NGOs, religious and people’s organizations.

Biazon recalled Muntinlupa’s journey towards cityhood, which started in 1986 when Muntinlupa was still classified as a fifth-class municipality until it achieved the status of a highly urbanized in 1995. He acknowledged this writer (who was then Municipal Mayor), former Vice Mayor, later Mayor and now incumbent Congressman Jaime R. Fresnedi; and former Municipal Attorney and now Majority Leader Raul R. Corro, who all actively

laid down the groundwork for the attainment of cityhood.

He then made a progress report on Muntinlupa City’s priority “K” Agenda – Kalusugan, Karunungan, Kabuhayan, Katarungan, Kapayapaan/Kaayusan, Kalikasan, and Kaunlaran. To be sure, Biazon said that he could not have accomplished so much without the indispensable support of Vice Mayor Temy Simundac, the councilors, the barangay chairmen, City Administrator Allan Cachuela, the department heads and other city employees “hanggang sa magwawalis, BHW o utility worker”.

In a nutshell, here are Mayor Biazon’s accomplishments in the various “K” agenda.

Kalusugan -136 percent vaccination rate of eligible target population. 80 percent received booster shots. 80 percent vaccinated under the Chikiting Bakunation Program.

-Enhancement of the Putatan Health Center into a Super Health Center with extended operating hours and more medical and diagnostic services.

-Malnutrition rate of

only 0.36 percent recorded in 2022. The lowest since 2018.

First Lady to grace mass wedding of 2,023 couples in Bacolod

BACOLOD CITY – First Lady Marie Louise "Liza" Araneta-Marcos will be the guest of honor during the mass wedding of 2,023 couples at the Government Center grounds here at 2 p.m. on March 11.

The First Lady's scheduled arrival was confirmed by Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez on Friday afternoon as he officiated a special ceremony, for some 28 couples at the main lobby of the Government Center.

"It will be on March 11, our mass wedding for the 2,023 couples in line with the year 2023," the mayor said, after the mass wedding has already been postponed twice after the Feb. 14 and March 3 initial dates.

Benitez said Friday's special wedding rites were held for the couples "who can no longer wait" for the March 11 event.

"They want their union with their loved ones to happen this March 3 (so) I decided to hold a small wedding ceremony for the couples who have already prepared for today," he added.

Next Saturday's mass

wedding, dubbed "Officially You and Me sa '23 with Mayor Albee," will include a raffle draw to give away various prizes for the married couples. (PNA)

DICT launches 'Broadband ng Masa' in Antique

SAN JOSE DE BUENAVISTA, Antique – A total of 150 barangays in Antique will be among the first beneficiaries of the Broadband ng Masa of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) that was launched in this province on Friday.

DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy, in his message during the launching, said the University of Antique (UA) main campus in Sibalom town that hosted the launching and its four campuses in the province will also be among the program recipients.

“The program will bring progress and development in Antique and even in the entire Philippines that have connectivity issue,” Uy said.

He said the program is launched as a fruition of the vision of Senate ProTempore Loren Legarda who is being considered as the “Mother of DICT” for being the principal author of Republic Act 10844 that created the department.

Legarda, in her message, said the pandemic has emphasized the digital gap in the country as those in the city shifted to virtual

learning, work-from-home setup, online banking and telemedicine, while those in the countryside like Antique could barely access information from the internet due to the lack of broadband connection.

“Access to the internet not only connects people, but also empowers citizens,” she said.

Legarda, in a later interview, said she will work out for the other remaining barangays in the province to also have free WiFi next year.

“I have also promised to help the other provinces in the different parts of the country be able to avail of the program,” she said.

Antique Governor Rhodora Cadiao, in her message, requested Legarda to include in the program the eight district hospitals in the province for their telemedicine.

Cadiao said the program will greatly benefit the Antiqueños.

Antique Representative Antonio Agapito Legarda said the program is really needed by the residents, particularly the students

Peso strengthens, stocks up on positive earnings reports

By Joann Villanueva

MANILA – Positive earnings reports of locally listed companies helped boost the local bourse’s main index on Friday, which also benefited the peso.

The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) gained 0.50 percent, or 32.92 points, to 6,655.37

points.

All Shares followed with a jump of 0.43 percent, or 15.24 points, to 3,564.42 points.

Most of the sectoral indices also ended the week up, led by Mining and Oil after rising by 1.67 percent.

It was trailed by Financials, 1.16 percent; Holding Firms, 0.63 percent;

Access to education

By: DOROTHY D. PULVERA Head Teacher III Pontod Elementary School Pontod, Mahinog, Camiguin

UNIVERSAL access to education is the ability of all people to have equal opportunity in education, regardless of their social class, race, gender, sexuality, ethnic background or physical and mental disabilities.

Universal access to education encourages a variety of pedagogical approaches to accomplish the dissemination of knowledge across the diversity of social, cultural, economic, national and biological backgrounds. Initially developed with the theme of equal opportunity access and inclusion of students with learning or physical and mental disabilities, the themes governing universal access to education have now expanded across all forms of ability and diversity. However, as the definition of diversity is within itself a broad amalgamation, teachers exercising universal access will continually face challenges and incorporate adjustments in their lesson plan to foster themes of equal

opportunity of education. As universal access continues to be incorporated into the U.S. education system, professors and instructors at the college level are required (in some instances by law) to rethink methods of facilitating universal access in their classrooms. Universal access to college education may involve the provision of a variety of different assessment methods of learning and retention. For example, in order to determine how much of the material was learned, a professor may enlist multiple methods of assessment. Methods of assessment may include a comprehensive exam, unit exams, portfolios, research papers, literature reviews, an oral exam or homework assignments. Providing a variety of ways to assess the extent of learning and retention will help identify the gaps in universal access and may also elucidate the ways to improve universal access.

GAINS. Both the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) and the peso finished the week up on Friday (March 3, 2023) due in part to the positive earnings report of locally listed firms and monetary authorities' assurance on their readiness to help tame the elevated inflation rate in the country. Downward correction of the US dollar also supported the peso. (PNA graphics)

Industrial, 0.24 percent; and Services, 0.23 percent.

Only the Property index finished the day in the negative territory after slipping by 0.53 percent.

Volume reached 828.96 million shares amounting to PHP6.48 billion.

Advancers led decliners at 84 to 73 while 52 shares

were unchanged.

Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) chief economist Michael Ricafort said improvements in sales or earnings of listed firms provided a lift to the PSEi, as they benefited from the continued reopening of the economy.

Ricafort said improve -

ment of the peso, assurance by local monetary authorities to tap every policy tool to help tame the elevated inflation rate and generally lower oil prices relative to year-ago levels also drove the gains in the local bourse.

He forecasts the next resistance level for the PSEi

at around 7,000 to 7,100 level.

Meanwhile, the local unit gained against the US dollar after finishing the day at 54.82 from 55.01 on Thursday.

It opened the day at 54.95 and traded between 54.98 and 54.745.

The average level for the day stood at 54.833.

Volume reached USD1.29 billion, higher than the previous session’s USD1.28 billion.

Ricafort said the local currency got some support from, among others, another gain of the PSEi, assurance of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) officials regarding their readiness to implement all possible policy tools to address the elevated inflation rate and the downward correction of the US dollar.

He said the peso corrected for the second consecutive week and improved by 0.1 percent against the US dollar.

Ricafort forecasts the peso to trade between 54.60 to 55.10 next week, with the projected range of between 54.75 to 54.95 on Monday. (PNA)

USTP-CIDS’ study: Public satisfaction on PRO 10’s community engagement is rated high Research Updates & Insights

Francis Thaise A. Cimene, PhD, Armie Joy O.

The Philippine National Police Region 10 commissioned the Center for Inclusive Development Studies (CIDS) of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines to conduct the 4th Quarter of the 2022 community engagement satisfaction survey on safety and security, respect, and trust in the police in the region. This study served as a feedback mechanism to assess the public's satisfaction with the PNP's community engagement in Region X.

7,982 randomly chosen survey participants and 99 key informants provided the data. It is clear from the findings and discussion that the community in Region 10 is highly satisfied with the PNP's community engagement when safety, security, respect, and trust are taken into account. This is especially true in the areas of the police's professionalism, which demonstrates pride and dedication to duty; their willingness to risk their lives to uphold the community's public order and safety; the respect people show them

THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING

By: Arcelie Almeda Roldan Teacher II Lugait Central School DepEd Misamis Oriental

Technology is the process of developing tools and gadgets to get a greater comprehension of and control over the physical universe. Or to put it another way, technology makes our life easier. We made use of cuttingedge technology to make things even better. Digital technology currently has the potential to improve the educational experience for all of our learners. Our findings show that our children are very familiar with digital technology and are eager to see it used more in the classroom.

On the other hand, Philippine Education provided teachers with a variety of online courses and workshops on how to use technology. This is done in order to solve problems and worries about teachers’ technological proficiency. High quality inclusive online learning may be attained with the correct amount of knowledge on how to get the most out of teaching with the aid of digital technology.

Instead than viewing or pointing out differences as disparities that need to be

remedied, this helps establish resources for competent learners in the community regardless of cultural differences and prior experiences. Moreover, projects can be used to embed learning in solid contexts that enable students to apply key abilities and ideas in ways that are relevant and can enhance social and communication skills.

We have long wished for an innovative educational technology that will lead to better and more successful teaching methods. Such dreams still exist today, reimagining education with cutting-edge technology at its core. Even while there are still significant obstacles in the way of technology creating more appropriate learning settings, there are very clear reasons why alternate teaching methods are becoming more popular, especially in light of the current epidemic. To meet the obligation to utilize online learning, communities must address the considerable disparities in access to computers, steady high-speed internet, and digital literacy.

Based on the disclosure of the victim’s live-in partner, seven armed NPA rebels suddenly arrived at their residence on Thursday afternoon and immediately hogtied the victim before shooting him to death using high-powered firearms.

“We condemn this brutal killing perpetrated by the Communist Terrorist Group who are now desperate as the calls for the surrender of their members are already gaining ground proven by the recent number of surrenders not only in Surigao del Sur but also in other areas in the Caraga Region,” Labra said.

He added that based

“We are also calling the concerned residents in the area to help the police in the continuing investigation of this incident and the filing of appropriate charges in court,” Labra said.

He added that the PRO13, with the support of various stakeholders, remains aggressive and determined to end the local communist armed conflict. (PNA)

BTS PH Army Pearls donates Globe Rewards points to Hapag Movement in celebration of ‘Hobiuary’

BTS PH Army Pearls and Globe Rewards came together for a good cause in celebration of J-Hope's birthday in February. The energetic and moodmaker rapper of Bangtan turned 29 last February 18, prompting his fandom to make “Hobiuary”— or the fandom’s new term for the month of February— more meaningful by helping those suffering from involuntary hunger through the Hapag Movement.

In this partnership, the BTS Filipino fan base pooled their Globe Rewards points to donate to the Hapag Movement.

Hapag Movement is Globe’s banner program that aims to address hunger alleviation and help create sustainable livelihood opportunities for underserved Filipinos. The program is mobilized through Ayala Foundation, Caritas Philippines, Tzu Chi Foundation, and World Vision Philippines.

Mirza Ann Barcenilla, Head and Founder of BTS Army PH Pearls, shared how the group’s love for J-Hope moved them to support the Hapag Movement.

there is only one, that is the premium version. We are not interested to bring any other version, we want to bring the best,” Sr. Hoyos stressed.

“Nissan Patrol is for very specific VIP Clients who find it a very unique vehicle. This has been proven as a choice by royalty in the Middle East, heads of state, and even ordinary customers who already have one will buy the new models but keep their old units for their kids,” he added.

However, clients can customize their Patrols with a range of options with available factory and more in the aftermarket.

Interested customers who wish to test drive the Nissan Patrol can contact Nissan Cagayan de Oro Branch at R.N. Pelaez Boulevard (fronting Liceo de Cagayan University) and arrange to have the unit brought to their residence or work place today Saturday and tomorrow Sunday starting 8AM.

Although Nissan has not been spared supply chain constraints, notably the chips shortage, Sr. Hoyos assures the worse is over and their cars are now arriving and waitlisted customers would be served either this March or next month.

“For Patrol Customers who used to have to put up with a two-month waiting period, customers who were buying their units during the event are assured of receiving their units next month at the latest,” he noted.

In response to questions regarding the suitability of the Patrol for women drivers, Sr. Hoyos cited how Nissan launched a driving academy in Saudi Arabia for women who were only recently allowed to drive their own vehicles.

“We are always encouraging programs for women, but in the Philippines, we see women driving everywhere so we haven’t launched anything specific for them yet,” Sr. Hoyos said.

However, he cited the case of the Nissan Livina which he said NPI has been pitching especially to women entrepreneurs. For the Patrol, he said women drivers in the Philippines should not be intimidated but rather feel empowered by the potential of its V8 Engine.

“Power is not something to be scared but to be enjoyed. Even for male drivers, power without control and safety is dangerous, but if you drive any Nissan cars, you will have Nissan Intelligent Mobility features: you will have intelligent braking, things that will help you handle that power,” he stressed.

He cited how Nissan CDO Principal Jeff Rolida still keeps driving his Nissan Patrol Legend from almost eight years ago. Although the Patrol usually takes eight years to come up with a makeover, this doesn’t in any manner depreciate the value of older models which are classical designs which hardly age with the years compared to other brands.

“ I still use the Legend also because it is a limited

edition and only 40 units were brought to the Philippines and still very much sought after by 4x4 enthusiasts,” Jeff Rolida confirmed. “I decided to keep it pristine to maintain it in running condition.”

Asked how Nissan can assure aftermarket care for Patrols commensurate to its prestige and market leading status, Sr. Hoyos remarked:

“We take care of all our Nissan customers and not only those who own Patrols. Our dealerships are required to have

As sons and daughters of Gaia, let us feel Her pain and grieve with Her and we must now have the compassion to suffer with Her.. Most importantly, we must now act as one collective countervailing force to serve notice to one and all that we have awakened and that, as responsible citizens of the earth, we will not allow anymore the rape of nature to continue which is only ours to protect for the coming generations. Yes, we did not inherit the earth from our parents but we owe this to our children. But at the rate that we have exploited the resources, we have robbed the future generations of their inheritance.

We are therefore guilty of violating the 8th Commandment, “Thou shall not steal.” Today the sins of a few loggers and miners are visited upon our people. Thousands have already died and many have been rendered homeless. Where are the loggers and miners? They are safe in their mansions. I don’t understand why a priest in a pulpit would announce that Sendong is a will of God and that “like Martha, we must not question God.” Excuse me Father, Gaia like any mother will never harm Her children. Sendong is not an act of God, but of diabolical men. I hope you can see the 200,000 hectares of denuded lands in Kalatungan Range, totally stripped of trees by greedy loggers. I hope you can see the barges owned by the Koreans and Chinese heavily dredging the rivers, wreaking havoc and decimating the mountains

Let us now stop the dark forces that are infecting more wounds to Gaia through extractive economic system. A paradigm shift should now be in the offing towards cooperative economy whose DNA is one of values, service, cooperation and sustainability. We must now debunk the present financial system that serves only the interest of a few elites, many of whom cannot moderate their greed: some even vied for elective positions to protect their financial interest. Money must be used to enhance life and the well-being of the people and not to buy votes or fool the electorate.

Time is of the essence. We are now on the 23rd year of 21st century. The truth is, we are not certain anymore if we can reach the 22nd century which is only 77 years from now. The tipping point is now at hand and we must tip the balance in favor of life and not of death.

Let us now heal the wounds of Gaia. Let us forge our oneness, firmly committing to stop her bleeding and if we may, declare in one voice (please shout so you can be heard by Gaia) that, “WE LOVE YOU GAIA.” Indeed, we must love and heal Mother Earth or we will all perish!

Belittled Angel

By: JANNETH E. SEGUAR T-III CAMAMAN-AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

An Angel is a supernatural being in various religions. They are our protectors and guides for humans. Hence, people were hoping to see them but it’s impossible.

However, we can have angels here on earth. They can be our family, friends, bosses, and co-workers. Fortunately, there is a school who have Angels, not a supernatural but they are for real, where they helped their administrators in doing paper works, initiating programs, visualizing plans, even joining a contest and doing many more without any protests. But it cannot be denied that there are still people who always make story behind another people’s back.

These Angels were be -

littled by some co-workers in the school. They were mocked by what they were doing and by what they cannot do. It can be difficult dealing with mocking people. They are those who smiles and pretends to like you to your face and sticks blade in your back when you turned around. Hence, when you’ll become affected, you might lose your interest in going to work and seeing them in the same school every day. Their words can hurt your feelings and make you feel small. However, these Angels neglecting those kinds of people. They still keep on accepting errands and doing all the tasks given and still continue serving even without being told. They’re doing everything

not to become promoted, and to become famous, but they’re working for the improvement of the school, for the children, for the parents, for the stakeholders and for the glory of God.

Moreover, these Angels acted like it did not happen. Blowing off those making fun of them takes away much of their power over them. They just wanted to possess positive qualities that make for a good teacher and all the better of their students, their parents, their administration. They’re being totally dedicated to their work, genuine, supportive of the school’s achievements. They can still walk in school confidently with a heart. Those belittled Angels are truly an amazing Angels.

In no other industry is collaboration more evident than in healthcare, as we saw firsthand during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Borromeo.

Borromeo also shared how AC Health continues to work with like-minded partners, such as Siemens Healthineers and Varian, to help realize the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital’s vision of providing more affordable oncology care in the country.

“Our goal is to offer the best value private hospital for cancer care. We are working with our partners to ensure that our cancer hospital will provide very competitive rates for diagnostics, radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery to a broader base of Filipino patients,” said Borromeo.

Varian – Cancer Treatment Services International Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Amy Hay also participated in the summit and affirmed their commitment to bring in global best practices to strengthen the services of the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital.

In the special panel discussion, “A Closer Look at Cancer Centers,” AC Health Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Maria Carissa Alejandro further elaborated on interventions in reducing the cost of cancer care and how these can be applied in building the country’s first dedicated cancer hospital.

“Health services need to go beyond pricing and focus on creating greater value for patients. We hope that the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital will serve as a model for more affordable cancer care in the Philippines,” said Alejandro.

tives seized three identification cards of the suspects, ammos and a .45 caliber pistol. The suspects, authorities reported, were cornered in Barangay Cansumalig in Bayawan City.

“The hot pursuit operations are still ongoing with the remaining suspects being pursued by joint elements of the PRO-7 and Philippine Army,” the police official said in his statement sent to the media on Saturday.

CONDEMNED

Meanwhile, President Ferdinand Marcos has condemned the ambush of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo which had caused his untimely demise.

This, as the president of the republic has also vowed to bring justice to the bereaved family of the governor, alongside four of his aides who were also killed by their attackers Saturday at the governor's residence.

Police investigators said the governor was declared by Comelec as the rightful winner for the province's gubernatorial seat following a recount proceedings by the Commission on Elections.

His rival, report said, was proclaimed winner right after the counting of bal -

lots in May 2022 national and local elections, but the camp of Degamo reportedly contested the result and requested a recount.

ATTACKS ON POLITICIANS

Last month, Governor Mamintal "Bombit" Adiong, Jr of Lanao del Sur in Mindanao was also ambushed by unknown attackers while traversing a secluded area in barangay Delimbayan, Maguing town.

Although the governor survived the ambush, three of his police escorts and the driver of a convoy vehicle were killed in the ambush.

Also in February, Vice Mayor Rommel Alameda of Aparri and five of his people were shot dead during a highway ambush.

really serve the interest of students and teachers. ACT should know that a weeklong transport strike, at this critical point in our efforts to remedy learning losses, is a learning disruption,” she said.

Meanwhile, transport groups called on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to suspend the implementation of the modernization program for public utility vehicles.

Earlier this week, over 40,000 drivers of public utility jeepneys and utility vehicles (UVs) committed to joining the weeklong strike to express opposition to the target phaseout of traditional jeepneys under the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP).

The Office of the Vice President said it added one bus in Valenzuela providing free rides.

To date, there are five other OVP buses offering free rides nationwide -- two in Metro Manila, one in Davao, one in Bacolod and another in Cebu. (PNA)

Strike... from page 2

“libreng sakay (free ride)” vehicles provided by different government agencies have been deployed in areas affected by the transport strike

“As of 11 a.m., in Metro Manila, we have only at least 10 percent po ang affected na areas or routes. But again, we have rescue buses and libreng sakay, na-address po. Wala po kaming nakitang nag-build up until now na passengers (that addressed this. We haven’t seen a passenger buildup until now),” Bolano said.

Another region with a similar situation to NCR is Region 4A, which is currently moderately affected by the transport strike.

“Pangalawa sa NCR is Region 4A on a moderate code lang po sila (Next to NCR is Region 4A but they’re only at moderate code). But the rest of the country as of 11 a.m. is at normal operations,” he said.

In total, he said about 5 percent of transport routes nationwide have been affected by the strike.

LTFRB appeals to transport groups to end strike

During the briefing, LTFRB chairperson Teofilo Guadiz III appealed to these transport groups to end their protest as the government is willing to listen and address their concerns through dialogue and consultation.

“We're willing to adjust to your needs. Basta ho ang importante rito ay tayo ay nagkakaintindihan, we have one common denominator at ito po ay ang kapakanan ng mga sumasakay (What’s important is we have an understanding, we have one common denominator, and that is the welfare of the passengers),” Guadiz said.

He announced the extension of the deadline for PUV consolidation and modernization from June 30 to December 31 and will be made official through a memorandum circular that will be released next week.

“During that time, yung iba-ibang deadlines din po para sa completion ng modernization ay iuurong po namin lahat. So, effectively ho, mga hanggang 2024 bago makumpleto yung first phase ng program (During that time, the different deadlines for the completion of the PUVMP will be pushed back. Effectively, the first phase of the PUVMP will be moved back to 2024),” he said.

To date, he said he has already spoken with various transport groups -- including MANIBELA, LABAN TNVS

and PISTON which staged the transport strike.

“Marami po kaming napagusapan ng mga transport groups, galing pa nga akong MANIBELA. Yung deadline is just one of the many things na napag-usapan namin. Isa pa is yung continuing education ng ating mga tsuper para maintindihan nila itong modernization program (We talked a lot with the transport groups, I even came from MANIBELA. The deadline is just one of the many things we talked about. Another is the continuing education of our drivers so they understand this modernization program),” he said.

He noted that LTFRB staff will personally visit transport cooperatives to further explain the intricacies of the PUVMP.

The LTFRB will also rationalize the routes of PUVs to ensure their profitability, as well as assist them in applying for loans from Land Bank of the Philippines, Development Bank of the Philippines, and other financing institutions.

He also clarified that under the modernization program, there will be different types of PUVs aside from the usual white buses and that traditional jeepneys can still operate as long as they comply with safety and environmental standards.

“Mayroon kaming iba from the usual na bus na nakikita niyong puti. Ime-maintain namin yung traditional jeep but subject to modifications para po ito ay mag-conform with the Philippine National Standards. And it will lower the price from PHP2.6 million to only about PHP1.3 million (We have different modern jeepney designs from the usual white ones. We will maintain the traditional jeep but subject to modifications so that it conforms with the Philippine National Standards. And it will lower the price from PHP2.6 million to only about PHP1.3 million),” he said.

Guadiz appealed for understanding and cooperation from transport groups and assured them that the modernization program is not meant to take away their livelihood but rather improve public transportation in the country.

The DOST-Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI), on the other hand, provided product formulation and process technologies while the Department of AgriculturePhilippine Rural Development Project (DA-PRDP) and the local government unit of Tanauan funded the construction of the processing facility.

The 90-square meter facility houses various machinery such as a pulper finisher, steam jacketed kettle, refractometer, autoclave sterilizer, storage freezer and cooler.

Myrelle Joy Bejasa, PRDP Region 4A information officer, said in a phone interview on Friday the new processing facility is part of the Tanauan City Mango Trading and Processing Enterprise project of PRDP and MTAMC.

"As an agricultural cooperative, MTAMC has been involved in mango and calamansi production since its founding in 2016, and they have ventured into post-harvest processing to add value to their produce and to utilize their excess supply during peak season," she said.

Meanwhile, MTAMC president Maricar Maranan said this project is also part of the agricultural sustainability program of the local government unit (LGU) in collaboration with the Office of the City Agriculturist under Sherwin Rimas.

Around 80 Tanaueño farmers/members of MTAMC are currently being helped by the LGU to plant mango and lime trees. (PNA)

AC Health’s cancer hospital reaches 75% completion; set to open in Q3

MANILA – AC

Health’s Healthway Cancer Care Hospital, the country’s first dedicated cancer hospital, has reached 75 percent completion and is set to open in the third quarter of this year.

Ayala Corporation’s Fernando Zobel de Ayala, who led the groundbreaking of the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital in 2021, joined AC Health and Ayala Corp. project leads in a site visit to the country’s first dedicated cancer facility last week.

“I would like to congratulate the AC Health and the Healthway teams for this significant progress since we broke ground almost two years ago. The progress of this facility clearly shows the Ayala group’s vision to build the country’s first dedicated cancer specialty hospital. Soon, hundreds of Filipino cancer patients will have access to high quality but affordable cancer care,” Zobel said.

Joining Zobel at the site visit were Ayala Corporation President & CEO Bong Consing,

AC Health President and CEO Paolo Borromeo, Healthway Philippines Inc. President and CEO Jaime Ysmael, Healthway Cancer Care Hospital Chief Operating Officer Jenara Ong, and Healthway Cancer Care Hospital Chief Finance Officer

Ruby Chiong.

“We are very privileged to have our leaders here today. The swift progress of the hospital’s construction would not have been possible without the strong support of our leaders and shareholders from Ayala

Corporation,” said Borromeo during the visit. The Healthway Cancer Care Hospital will be the first comprehensive and dedicated cancer hospital in the country offering a complete range of cancer services, from screen-

ing, diagnosis, treatment, to post-cancer care. Equipped with 18 chemotherapy infusion units, two linear accelerators (LINACs), and all the essential diagnostic and imaging machines, the hospital will be focused on improving the

overall patient experience and enabling multi-disciplinary cancer care.

Borromeo also presented updates on the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital to cancer patients and advocates, healthcare providers and practitioners, government officials, and international experts at the Philippine National Cancer Summit held on February 23 to 24 at Crowne Plaza Galleria, Quezon City.

The event was organized by the Philippine College of Surgeons - Cancer Commission Foundation to rally stakeholders in the battle against cancer.

Drawing from AC Health’s experience in putting up the country’s first dedicated cancer hospital, Borromeo spoke about the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors in bridging the cancer care gap in the Philippines.

“I am a big believer that the private and public sectors should work hand-in-hand towards improving oncology care here in the Philippines.
