big waves hit our barge,” said Roberto Espina, the boat captain of LCT Pacifica I, in an interview with RPN DXKS radio station in Surigao City.
Espina said he immedi-
ately sent a distress signal and ordered all his crew to abandon the ship using two life rafts.
“The barge could no longer sustain the huge waves. When
we were at a safe distance in two life rafts, we saw the huge waves overturn the barge,” he said.
Barely an hour after the incident, the crew members were rescued by a passing MV Reina Veronica of the Montenegro Shipping Lines and brought to the BilangBilang Port in Surigao City. (PNA)

For: Declaration of Nullity of Marriage - v e r s u s -
KRISTOPER DELGADO , Respondent.
X---------------------------------------------/ O R D E R
Before the Court is a Motion for Leave to Serve Summons by Publication filed by the petitioner through counsel.
The motion states that petitioner has twice attempted to serve summons on the known address of respondent, all of which resulted into the failure to serve summons. Therefore there is a cogent ground to serve Summons by way of Publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City and Province of Cebu. Petitioner prays to grant the motion for leave of court to allow the service of Summons by Publication. Moreover, the petition briefly states the following:
That petitioner and respondent are of legal age, Filipinos, married to each other; petitioner is a resident of Purok 3, Brgy. 23 Holy Redeemer, Butuan City; while respondent’s last known address is at Palm River Subd., at Block 9, Lot 3, Brgy. Biasong, Talisay, Cebu City; on 2003 petitioner got pregnant and parties transferred to Cagayan de Oro City; again, petitioner caught the respondent sniffing shabu; in the resultant altercation, the respondent promised to stop his vice of using illegal drugs for good; parties got married on December of 2003; after birth of their child, they transferred back to Surigao City; on 2005, their child tragically died of heart enlargement; respondent went back to his old vice of sabong and frequent use of shabu; frustrated and hearing for his safety, petitioner decided to go to Cagayan de Oro City, while respondent remained in Surigao City; respondent never went back to Cagayan de Oro City to be with petitioner; until now, petitioner has seen or received any communications from the respondent; from the foregoing, it is clear that respondent failed to show love, care and support to the petitioner which are the essential marital obligations required from each party to a Marriage.
Wherefore, finding merit in the motion, leave of Court to serve summons by publication is hereby granted. Petitioner is hereby ordered to cause the publication of this summons once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in Cebu City at the expense of the petitioner. In addition, a copy of the summons shall be served on the respondent at his last known address by registered mail.
Respondent, is hereby ordered to answer herein petition within thirty (30) days from the last date of publication.
SO ORDERED.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
A stable supply of electricity is necessary for us at this time when our economy is gradually recovering from the effects of the pandemic. It plays a vital role in the province’s progress and economic growth. A power loss puts a lot of risk in an increasingly interconnected world. Insufficient, undependable, and constant disruption in the transmission and distribution lines cause inconvenience for individuals and businesses.
Research has also shown that high-growing trees, dangerous activities including burning garbage and other materials, excavation and/or the presence of the unauthorized construction inside the right-of-way corridors of power transmission and distribution lines are the main causes of power outages. In addition to impeding the efficient transmission of power, obstructions within the rightof-way of power lines, whether purposefully placed or not, are likely to endanger human life and cause significant property damage, particularly during times of calamities.
With the key elements of Republic Act 11361, also known as the “Anti-Obstruction of Power Lines Act of 2019,” at hand, this ordinance was created as a result of the Provincial Government of Camiguin’s fervent desire to ensure the success of its electrification program as well as the requirement to coordinate and rationalize the effective supply of power.
This Ordinance shall control planting of trees and other activities beneath transmission lines.
PROVINCIAL ORDINANCE NO. 2022-62
“AN ORDINANCE REGULATING THE CONSTRUCTION OF STRUCTURES, IMPLEMENTING THE EASEMENT AND PROHIBITING THE PLANTING OF HIGH-GROWING TREES NEAR OR UNDER ELECTRIC POWER TRANSMISSION LINES, ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION POSTS OR FACILITIES IN THE PROVINCE OF CAMIGUIN, PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

SECTION
PREVENTION AND REMOVAL OF POWER LINE OBSTRUCTION ON PRIVATE PROPERTY . CAMELCO shall have the primary duty and responsibility to remove power

9.1 Power line site obstructions and right-of-way issues should be resolved through cordial discussions with the private owners and the host local governments. Persuasive talks have to be conducted as proprietary rights and rights of way issues crop up during the possible immediate removal of line obstruction.
9.2 Any hazardous improvements found within the right-of-way clearance of any power transmission lines may be cut, pruned, or removed immediately upon the approval of the PENR Officer and Philippine Coconut Authority Officer for the cutting of coconut trees.

getting sicker, sadder and even undermining our own potential.
Here is another great example: a perfectionist, French Claude Monet often destroyed his paintings in a temper while saying, ‘My life has been nothing but a failure’.
Perfectionism, after all, is an ultimately self-defeating way to move through the world. It is built on an excruciating irony: making, and admitting, mistakes is a necessary part of growing and learning and being human. It also makes you better at your career and relationships and life in general. By avoiding mistakes at any cost, a perfectionist can make it harder to reach their own lofty goals.
But the drawback of perfectionism isn’t just that it holds you back from being your most successful, productive self. Perfectionistic tendencies have been linked to a laundry list of clinical issues: depression and anxiety (even in children), self-harm, social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, hoarding, dyspepsia, chronic headaches, and, most damning of all, even early mortality and suicide.
“It’s something that cuts across everything, in terms of psychological problems,” says Sarah Egan, a senior research fellow at the Curtin University in Perth who specialises in perfectionism, eating disorders and anxiety.
Culturally, I learned, we often see perfectionism as a positive. Even saying you have perfectionistically tendencies can come off as a coy compliment to yourself; it’s practically a stock answer to the “What’s your worst trait?” question in job interviews. (Past employers, now you know! I wasn’t just being cute).
Studies have shown that ‘adaptive’ aspects like striving for achievement have no effect at all or may even protect you.
It is difficult to tell who is motivated and conscientious and who is a perfectionist. Earlier, in my daily teaching at the University of Southeastern Philippines in Davao City, I met a student who works hard and gets a poor mark. If she/her tells herself: “I’m disappointed, but it’s okay; I’m still a good person overall,” that’s healthy. If the message is: “I’m a failure. I’m not good enough,” that’s perfectionism.
That inner voice criticises different things for different people – work, relationships, tidiness, fitness. My own tendencies may differ greatly from somebody else’s. It can take someone who knows me well to pick up on them. (When I messaged one of my friends I was writing this story, he immediately sent back a long line of laughing emojis).
Perfectionists can make smooth sailing into a storm, a brief ill wind into a categoryfive hurricane. At the very least, they perceive it that way. And, because the ironies never end, the behaviors perfectionists adapt ultimately, actually, do make them more likely to fail.
Thinking of perfectionism, makes me think of my own childhood peppered with avoiding (or starting and quitting) almost every sport there was. If I wasn’t adept at something almost from the get-go, I didn’t want to continue –especially if there was an audience watching. In fact, multiple studies have found a correlation between perfectionism and performance anxiety even in children as young as 10.
Mental health problems aren’t just caused by perfectionism; some of these problems can lead to perfectionism, too. One recent study, for example, found that over a one-year period, college students who had social anxiety were more likely to become perfectionists – but not vice versa.
When it comes to the most dramatic example, suicide, numerous studies also have found
that perfectionism is a lethal contributor all on its own. One found that perfectionism made depressed patients more likely to think about suicide even above and beyond feelings of hopelessness. A recent meta-analysis, the most complete on the suicideperfectionism link to date, found that nearly every perfectionistic tendency – including being concerned over mistakes, feeling like you are never good enough, having critical parents, or simply having high personal standards – was correlated with thinking about suicide more frequently. (The two exceptions: being organised or demanding of others).
Some of those criteria, particularly pressure from parents and perfectionistic concerns, also were correlated with more suicide attempts.
In many ways, poorer health outcomes for perfectionists aren’t that surprising. “Perfectionists are pretty much awash with stress. Even when it’s not stressful, they’ll typically find a way to make it stressful,” says Gordon Flett, who has studied perfectionism for more than 30 years and whose assessment scale developed with Paul Hewitt is considered a gold standard. Plus, he says, if your perfectionism finds an outlet in, say, workaholism, it’s unlikely you’ll take many breaks to relax – which we now know both our bodies and brains require for healthy functioning.
After all, many of us live in societies where the first question when you meet someone is what you do for a living. Where we are so literally valued for the quality and extent of our accomplishments that those achievements often correlate, directly, to our ability to pay rent or put food on the table. Where complete strangers weigh these on-paper values to determine everything from whether we can rent that flat or buy that car or receive that loan. Where we then signal our access to those resources with our appearance – these shoes, that physique – and other people weigh that, in turn, to see if we’re the right person for a job interview or dinner invitation.
Fear of failure is getting magnified in other ways, too. Take social media: make a mistake today and your fear that it might be broadcast, even globally, is hardly irrational. At the same time, all of those glossy feeds reinforce unrealistic standards.
In my opinion, and I am not alone with it, it’s the idea that you don’t have to be perfect to be lovable or to be loved. It’s a work in progress. And, what I’ve noticed too, is that, each time I’m able to replace criticizing and perfecting with compassion, I feel not only less stressed, but freer. Apparently, that’s not unusual.
How about you, my dear readers?

technological tools must be all related to the ChatGBT and its applications.
Which skills that can be created must also be directly designed in a syllabus. All the skills that can be replaced by ChatGBT should also be listed. They way
or methods as well as techniques in the classroom process must be adapted to such ChatGBT and its application.
However, there are some skills which cannot be replaced by ChatGBT. It can be the language skill dealing with logic. In writing, there is a brain nerve function which cannot be replaced. How to develop the way of thinking is related to the brain nerves. So far, there is no news about the development of medicine and doctors that can transplant the human beings’ brain.
We have seen the transplantation can only be done for such as lungs, heart, kidneys, eyes, and the like. But, it cannot yet be done for the brain. This implicitly makes us aware of the weakness of ChatGBT. It cannot feel what we feel about others. It cannot feel what we feel when we read the texts related to our feeling. Be optimistic but realistic to the nature and its development.

a listing of the minimum qualifications and standards of deportment that qualifies an inspector to conduct an inspection.
For labor inspectors, authority is only provided to DOLE personnel who have passed the basic training course, at least have a rank of Labor and Employment Officer III (LEO III), and do not have pending administrative or criminal cases.
Technical Safety Inspectors are required to be registered professional engineers and holders of a Professional Regulation Commission license and the required safety inspection training. For the conduct of mandatory conferences, only designated hearing officers are allowed to conduct hearings for inspections. The order also outlined the functions of sheriffs which traditionally includes the enforcement of writs, serving notices of garnishments, and executing final decisions.
The administrative order also authorized regional directors to issue their respective “authority” to their respective labor inspec -
tors. For this year, DOLE’s labor inspections on private establishments is expected to last up to December 31, 2023.

(PhilHealth is a financial intermediary for the wellbeing, this is why they are the ones who cover the hospital fees, although not all of them, but only a part of them sometimes)
Along with the Universal Health Care Law, or R.A. 11223, signed by President Rodrigo Duterte in February 2019, the DOH ensures that every Filipino has access to equal and affordable health care.
“So katong una nga magpamiyembro pa lang, tagaan namo sila og ID ug irehistro sa kantidad nga P400 lang. Requirement man sa trabaho ang Philhealth, magbayad lang ka’g P400 marehistro man ka as self-employed aron dili na ka pangayuan og first time job seeker or maski unsa pa nga certificate,” Santuyo said.
(For those who are first-time members, we give them an ID and register them with the amount of P400 only. Since PhilHealth is a requirement for work, you only need to pay P400, and then you’re registered as self-employed so that you won’t have to pay for first-time job seekers or other certificates)
For PhilHealth members, inpatient benefits are given to those who are admitted to the hospital for more than 24 hours, and outpatient benefits are given to those who need dialysis, transfusions, cataract operations, and radiotherapy.
With OPD Konsulta and Primary Care Benefits (PCB), indigenous groups, senior citizens, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) beneficiaries, and people in the formal sector can get access to good health care.

Uy attributed this as an indication of confidence by the business sector.
“Siguro Nakita sa mga negosyante unsa ka sinsero ang city government sa pagpatumna sa economic recovery. Nagtuo sila nga sa ilang pagbayad sa sakto nga buluhisan, mabalik ra usab kini sa katawhan pinaagi sa serbisyo ug sa mga proyekto nga makaayo sa siyudad,” Uy said.
Uy thanked the office of the city treasurer for their efforts in this initial success of his administration’s economic recovery program.
City treasurer Jasmin Maagad credited the substantial growth to improvements in the gross sales of businesses as they recover from the economic slump caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In terms of monetary value, the January 31, 2023 business tax collection of P730.9 million was a historical high. The second highest business tax collection for the period was in January 2020 at P724,461,480.80.
It took a sharp dip in 2021 at -0.31 percent as debilitating Covid-19 quarantine restrictions drove the local economy to its knees.

from page 2 indicates that more than half of 10-year-olds in low- and middleincome countries were unable to read or comprehend a simple story even before the pandemic. In addition, learning poverty, or the inability to read and comprehend a basic text by the age of 10, has gotten worse because of the disruption in schooling and is currently thought to be close to 70 percent,” she said.
For the part of the Philippines, the DepEd vowed to intensify its efforts to realize its MATATAG (resilient) agenda, which stands for “MAking the curriculum relevant to produce job-ready, active and responsible citizens; TAking steps to accelerate the delivery of basic education facilities and provision of services; TAking good care of learners by promoting learner well-being, inclusive education, and a positive learning environment; and Giving support for teachers to teach better.”
“The Philippine government, under the leadership of our President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., has committed to the MATATAG education agenda and has made a national commitment to increase investments in education… The President has emphasized that we cannot fail our children. We need to help them so that they become great,” Duterte said.
The DepEd earlier disclosed priority reforms to be pushed in the education sector during its Basic Education Report (BER) 2023.
Included on the key aspects vowed to be addressed are problems on infrastructures, including lack of adequate spaces and disaster-incurred loss; the need for revision in several parts of the curriculum; the need to intensify the protection of children’s rights and welfare; corruption; as well as lack of support to teachers, among others.
Despite these, Duterte said the administration’s initiative puts the country on-track to achieve inclusive and quality education. ( PNA )
