Teves lawyer denies his client owns firearms and ammos seized by CIDG

BY JOEL CALAMBA ESCOL, Managing Editor

MANILA, Philippines - The lawyer of beleaguered Congressman Arnulfo "Arnie" Teves said yesterday that his client does not own the firearms and ammos confiscated by government forces during a raid conducted on Teves' alleged houses.

Lawyer Ferdinand Topacio said during a press forum that prior to the raid, Congressman Teves had already surrendered all his

firearms and ammunition.

Teves said: "as a precautionary measure isinurrender po namin yung mga firearms ni Congressman Teves sa proper authorities."

“The latest was three days ago. Ako personal nag

surrender nung tatlong firearms sa residence niya in Quezon City doon sa nearest precinct as provided for by the guidelines sa pag own and possess ng firearms,” the lawyer said.

Marcos leads launch of 1st Kadiwa ng Pangulo in Bicol

By Azer Parrocha

MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Thursday led the launch of Bicol Region’s first Kadiwa ng Pangulo in Pili, Camarines Sur, vowing to stick to his promise of bringing down the prices of rice to PHP20 per kilo.

In his speech, Marcos expressed optimism that rice would soon be more affordable for all consumers.

Currently, consumers can buy rice at PHP25 per kg. in Kadiwa ng Pangulo pop-up stores across the country.

“Ang aking pangarap na sinabi na bago ako umupo na sana maipababa natin ang presyo ng bigas ng PHP20. Hindi pa tayo umaabot dun, dahan-dahan palapit. Nasa

US Air Force brings in F-22 'Raptor' aircraft in talks with PAF

By Priam Nepomuceno

MANILA – Two of the United States Air Force's (USAF) premier stealth fighter aircraft, the Lockheed Martin F-22 "Raptor" along with its Boeing KC-135 "Stratotanker" aircraft, landed and visited Clark Air Base, Pampanga for a so-called bilateral fighter "subject matter expert exchange" (SMEE) on March 13.

In a statement Wednesday, Philippine Air Force (PAF) spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo said the bilateral fighter SMEE is part of the Air Force's Mutual Defense Board-Security Engagement Board (MDB-SEB) activities for 2023.

This also includes PAF engagement opportunities with the USAF's Pacific Air Forces (PACAF).

PAF fighter pilots and other personnel from the 5th Fighter Wing, Air Defense Command participated in the bilateral fighter SMEE.

Castillo said bilateral exchanges focused on the capabilities of fighter aircraft operated by the two Air Forces as a prelude to other upcoming engagements to promote air domain awareness, agile

combat employment, interoperability and other bilateral air objectives.

"Notably the USAF, PACAF brought in two F-22s and one KC-135 aircraft which were placed on static display for the appreciation of PAF commanders and aircrew," Castillo said.

He said he wanted to do the same for other agricultural products, such as onion and sugar.

Marcos also renewed his promise to put up more Kadiwa pop-up stores in addition to the existing 500 stores nationwide.

“Pararamihin natin hangga’t maaari para makikita natin na mayroon pagbabago at pagpaganda doon sa ating mga ginagawa, sa ating mga kababyaan, sa inyo, na mayroon naman tayong pag-asa na umahon at hindi na tayo dumadaan gaano sa hirap (We will increase the number of Kadiwa stores until we see changes and improvements in what we are doing for the citizens, that there is hope that we will not go through as much hardship),” he said.

The President likewise reiterated support for vulnerable communities and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) still reeling from the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

Camarines Sur Governor Luigi Villafuerte, meanwhile, said it was an honor to be selected as the first province in the Bicol region to put up a Kadiwa ng Pangulo pop-up store.

“Isa pong karangalan para sa amin na sa buong Bicol region, tayo po, ang probinsya ng Camarines Sur, ang unang probinsya na nagkaroon po ng Kadiwa ng Pangulo (It is an honor for us that in the entire Bicol region, we at the province of Camarines Sur, are the first province to have our own Kadiwa ng Pangulo),” he said.

Villafuerte also pledged to join the efforts of the Department of Agriculture (DA), which is headed by Marcos, to create a largescale production of agricultural products in Camarines Sur.

“Napaka-suwerte po natin na napili tayo ni President Bongbong Marcos na tayo ay maging unang Kadiwa ng Pangulo.

How oppressed are the Indigenous Peoples is well analyzed in a study that concluded: “Indigenous lands have become battlegrounds of conflict pitting communities against powerful forces that aim to grab the lands and resources to advance the political and economic interest in support of agenda that is driven by corporate greed. Dispossession and displacement of IP communities from their own ancestral lands continue unabated despite the recognition of IP rights in national as well as international human rights laws.” Mr. Ceasar Soriano & staff of PTV4 stayed for two weeks in Mindanao early last year and documented the issues besetting the IPs which was shown in three episodes in MAGANDANG GABI PILIPINAS entitled AGAW LUPA, AGAW BUHAY. Here is the summary based on the IP narratives: “Since 2016, a total of 92 individuals have fallen victims to extra judicial killings with around 160 victims frustrated EJKs; 227 IPs have been illegally arrested, detained and abducted and 27 reported being subjected to torture.”

Abdul Amoran narrated the issues and oppression the IPs are subjected to and they passionately asked, “Mr. Secretary Isidro la Peña, “kami po ba ay tao o basura?” Indeed, all of their narratives were concrete proofs that all these years, the IPs have been treated as disposable wastes. Well it is not surprising in a world that is giving so much veneration to the profit-motive that has already captured the mindset of all governments, all institutions, all universities and even of religious groups against the backdrop of so much denigration of spirituality, buried in so much materialism and consumerism that has sacrificed mother earth to the altar of greed and profit, how do we now awaken humanity from deep slumber? The mainstream media is controlled by those who are in control and continue disseminating gospel of advertisements to perpetuate unconsciousness to hide the truth. This is especially true in the discounting of the climate crisis in pursuit of shortterm profit by the 19 Fossil Companies that will not allow the discontinuance of their massive raking of some16 trillion dollars annually or 10 million dollars

The challenges of our century

There are many issues that face the global community in the 21st century. Some, like the threat of terrorism and climate change, threaten our very existence, while others, like gay marriage and other civil rights issues, can change the way we view some of the basic relationships of modern society.

HENRY SALAZAR

Climate change is the greatest global challenge of our time. Today, it affects our coastal communities through rising seas, extreme weather events and coastal erosion. In Canada's Arctic, these impacts are magnified, as the area is warming at three times the rate of the rest of the country.

Climate change is already happening: temperatures are rising, drought and wildfires are starting to occur more frequently, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting and the global mean sea level is rising.

If I think about it, peace is first in my mind. But there is still another challenge. Worldwide population is expected to grow to nearly 10 billion by 2050 - but agricultural lands won't be able to follow the same pace. The problem is clear:

every minute. The truth about climate change that is putting civilization in the state of planetary emergency is being hidden. Such is a crime against humanity. In this process of subversion, there are three kinds of actors: those who tell the lies, those who repeat the lies and those who allow themselves to be seduced by the lies. We should not allow these lies to continue. While we are now in the state of planetary emergency as climate change indicators have escalated so quickly that an emergency response is imperative if civilization is to avoid breakdown and eventual collapse, it is already too late to organize a robust movement. What we can do is to create awareness among the 12 million cooperative members nation-wide and the 1 billion members worldwide to awaken and transform the cooperative movement to

something has to change. The question is what. Sustainable food for everyone! Food - besides water!

The world's population continues to grow - but the Earth's surface doesn't. And already one in nine people around the world suffers from hunger. Although fertility levels worldwide are declining, life expectancy is increasing - and therefore, the global population keeps growing. The United Nations estimates that the world's population is increasing by more than 80 million people every year.

Forecasts offer a nonstop rise: The global population is expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100. So allow me to ask: How can we feed all these billions without destroying the Earth?

Although it's a dire picture, let's face it: the situation is not as disastrous as it might seem. Food is not lacking - it is just poorly managed. I got the idea for this post after having watched an interview with Ralph Südhoff, head of the World Food Program of the United Nations in Berlin. He said: "Today, we would

be able to feed many more people than we do". "But we waste too much of the food we produce, and we lack efficient productionparticularly in Africa".

Forgotten are many rural areas. I agree with Südhoff who says that population growth is not the key cause of hunger, but rather a lack of efficiency in managing our resources. Indeed, farmers in rural areas of some African and Asian countries still lack the necessary means to maximize crop yields, misusing vast areas of land.

Imagine, the productivity of existing arable lands could be doubled, experts believe. And experts agree that productivity could be increased through very simple means. Allow me to quote again Ralf Südhoff: "Efficiency could be doubled or tripled in African countries by providing basic means such as training, credits and land rights".

Carcar vendors eat pork to show it is safe

By John Rey Saavedra

CEBU CITY – Vendors of "lechon" (roast pig) and "chicharon" (pork rind) in Carcar City on Thursday held a “food trip” to raise awareness that their products are safe to eat amid the detection of African swine fever (ASF) virus in three of its 15 barangays.

Mayor Mario Patrick Barcenas led officials in the activity to show locals and visitors that eating pork is safe, said ASF is not a zoonotic (infections that are spread between people and animals) disease that can affect humans.

Learning about beauty care and its future use in business

By: VIOLY BELANO TAMBUS Teacher II

WHILE most people think of the beauty business as cosmetics, it has grown in scope and now includes a wide range of products. Beyond just cosmetics, there is perfume, skin cleaners, a host of other skin care products, cosmeceuticals, etc.

Beyond the products themselves, the beauty business also includes the way in which the products are sold. In particular, price points and the places cosmetics are packaged and sold. Price points have always varied but packaging has become ever more important. Where products sell has gone from physical stores that were very

location driven to being sold over the Internet to people all over the world.

The modern industry is very global. When researching the industry, it may be helpful to keep in mind a few of the things that are particular to it. Although there are some exceptions, the more people spend, the higher the household income. That still proves true but it has also the case because of sheer numbers that Generation Y and the millennials have become a big driver of the beauty market. Tracking of sales is done industry-wide but data is often broken by cosmetics, skin care etc.

Barcenas also cited that the cooperation of the hog raisers in the Barangays Canasujan, Guadalupe and Poblacion 1 made the interventions done by the City Veterinary Office easier, especially in testing the suspected infected

Encouraging Learning Rather than Instructing

By: Ophelia Amor O. Kiunisala

As technology has advanced, so has the relationship between teachers and their pupils and classrooms. Today’s pupils have the resources necessary to independently discover many facts and knowledge, as they have access to various information. In this setting, many pupils place less weight on top-down instruction. Instead, teachers now play a more prominent facilitation role. Their work has gradually developed into one in which they teach pupils how to learn, enjoy studying and find and comprehend information.

This can provide obstacles for educators, who must develop leadership and problem-solving skills.

They must learn to stimulate dialogue and cultivate a culture that appreciates teamwork.

The finest teachers will empower students to assume responsibility for their learning.

As teachers become more engaged in the learning process of their students, they will also be able to receive timely feedback on their teaching performance. As the class progresses through the content, their capacity to cultivate and facilitate these talents will become immediately apparent.

Educators who wish to emphasize student growth more than knowledge delivery will find this strategy quite rewarding.

The importance of intonation and pronunciation in reading

By: LESLIE M. PADERANGA Teacher I Baikingon Elementary School

INTONATION or the pitch pattern of your voice is important in spoken English because it conveys meaning in many ways. It is a feature of pronunciation.

Changing the pitch in your voice allows you to show surprise (“oh, really?”) or boredom (“oh, really….”).

The rising tone is also used for showing expectation. And it’s also used for showing interest and excitement. On the other hand, a low or falling tone is used for making a statement. Questions with who, what, when, why and how also use this falling tone. But a rising tone is used for yes/no questions. Finally,

a fall-rising tone expresses uncertainly. Intonation is very important in communication as it gives information beyond just the basic meaning of the words. It can express the speaker’s attitude or feeling about something. Even within a question, intonation can indicate if the speaker is confirming information or seeking additional information. Intonation is like a tune or melody in the voice used to express different shades of meaning. Intonation patterns are the ways speakers adjust the pitch of their voice in order to convey something.

Ayala-led logistics group ramps up sustainable waste management across the country

MANILA -- Waste & Resource Management, Inc. (WARM) and Integrated Waste Management, Inc. (IWMI) are on a mission to ramp up sustainable waste management in the Philippines, as they eye expansion of services and facilities in multiple locations across the country.

Fernando Zobel de Ayala, Adviser to the Ayala Corporation Board, recently visited the WARM and IWMI processing facility in Trece Martires, Cavite to witness how both companies tackle the growing problem of waste through proper management, transport, materials recovery, processing, and disposal.

“Improper management of waste and the lack of large-scale processing facilities are problems that we can no longer ignore," Zobel said.

"I am delighted that we will be involved in addressing this challenge in a systematic, responsible, and sustainable manner. There is tremendous potential to scale up the services of WARM and IWMI starting with our Ayala group companies, estates, and communities," he added.

In 2021, Zobel announced Ayala's commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emission target by 2050, aligning its

business strategy with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to preindustrial levels.

Under this agreement, IWMI will be in charge of collection, transport, and proper treatment and disposal of Ten Knots Group’s medical and infectious wastes. Full service includes documentary evidence of how the hazardous wastes are treated and disposed.

Meanwhile, WARM is teaming up with Ayala Land towards a zero waste-tolandfill goal for an initial

set of buildings and estates.

WARM helps its clients pursue zero waste-tolandfill aspirations through various approaches and technologies that transform waste into energy and useful resources, such as concrete hollow blocks and pavers, organic compost, and recovered materials that are reused in manufacturing.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is an instructional method that utilizes information and communications technology to support, intensify and augment the delivery of knowledge. Worldwide research has shown that “ICT can lead to an improved pupil learning and better teaching methods.”

A report made by the National Institute of Multimedia Education in Japan “proved that an increase in the use of ICT in education with integrating technology to the curriculum has a significant and positive influence on students.”

The students who are continuously exposed to technology through education have better understanding, presentation skills,

innovative capabilities and are ready to take more efforts into learning as compared to others.

The role of ICT in education has become a major player in the delivery of teaching and learning and has transformed the education system as we once knew it.

Introducing ICT in classroom instructions is the answer for those who ask how we could motivate pupils to be attentive in the class.

It is also the answer for those who ask what materials could be used to achieve higher mastery level in all subjects.

In the past years years, traditional teachers wrote on actual blackboards with chalk and erasers, the class register was just written and so with the class record and other school forms.

Factors Affecting English Proficiency Among Filipino Learners

By: SUZY MAY R. FABULAR T-I Macabalan National High School

English proficiency is an important skill for many Filipinos, as it is often required for job opportunities and higher education. Despite this, studies have shown that the English proficiency of Filipino learners still needs improvement.

According to the 2019 EF English Proficiency Index, the Philippines ranked 20th out of 100 countries in terms of English proficiency. While this is a relatively high ranking, the study also found that the country’s English proficiency level had decreased by 1.27 points compared to the previous year.

One factor that contributes to the low English proficiency level in the Philippines is the lack of exposure

to English outside of the classroom. Many Filipino learners only use English during their English classes and are not exposed to it in their daily lives. This lack of exposure can make it difficult for them to fully understand and use the language. Another factor that affects English proficiency in the Philippines is the quality of English education. A study by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies found that many English teachers in the Philippines lack the necessary training and qualifications to teach English effectively. This can lead to students not receiving proper instruction and struggling with the language. However, there are also

initiatives being done to improve the English proficiency of Filipino learners. The Department of Education has implemented programs such as the English Language Proficiency Program to improve the English proficiency of both students and teachers. Additionally, there are private organizations and institutions that offer English language courses and programs for Filipinos.

In conclusion, while the English proficiency level of Filipino learners still needs improvement, there are efforts being done to address this issue. With continued support and initiatives, Filipino learners can improve their English proficiency and have better opportunities in the global market.

4 armed group members surrender in Lanao del Sur

By Teofilo Garcia, Jr.

ZAMBOANGA CITY – Four members of a potential private armed group (PPAG) have surrendered and turned in high-powered firearms to authorities in Lanao del Sur province, a police official said Thursday.

UNDERSTANDING your own power, as idealistic and driven, is the first step to moving mountains. Gone are the days of telling kids to sit down and stay silent. Instead, parents and guardians are empowering and encouraging their children to look at the nearly impossible as just another challenge to overcome. It gives me hope for the future, to see youth work -

Tala’s transparent fees, fair loan collections restore Filipino trust in digital lending

Amid mounting complaints of borrowers due to predatory rates and debt collectors’ threats and public shaming, global Fintech company Tala shines with a positive trust rating from its consumers, restoring confidence in digital lending.

The digital lending app has earned a positive trust rating from consumers as seen in a study conducted by a third party. On a scale of 0-5 stars, with 5 being the highest, 86% of consumers gave Tala a rating between 4-5 stars for trustworthiness. About 77% of the respondents also gave Tala a rating between 4-5 stars when asked about its fair collection practices even if they are late in repayments.

“I am happy to share that Tala’s consumer trust rating rose by 15% in the past year,” Tala Philippines General Manager Donald Evangelista said. “The extent of trust we’ve received inspires us to continue providing access to financial services and extending opportunities to guide and uplift Filipinos in their path towards financial growth.”

Tala’s fair collections practices and transparent fees have increased customer trust in the digital lending platform.

One customer shared how their experience with Tala overcame their fears of dealing with lending platforms. They found the digital app after a search triggered by the need for medical funds for their father who had suffered a bad accident. At first, they were “hesitant” in using Tala “because I have been hearing about abusive online lenders that humiliate you on social media when you're not able to pay on time. I trusted Tala because I really needed money. My loan with Tala allowed me to have extra funds for my dad's hospital bills and medicine. As my family's breadwinner, this is a big help to me.”

The digital lending app’s sterling collections standards and transparent pricing assure Filipino customers of the security of their transactions and their repayment amount with no hidden fees. Compliance with government regulators like SEC reinforces Tala’s trustworthiness by proactively reminding customers to transact only through official channels of licensed and

registered credit providers to avoid harmful practices and scams. The consistently positive customer ratings show the care with which Tala handles their customers.

Beyond the loan disbursement and debt collection side of the business, Tala also stood out in the eyes of borrowers for providing customers with valuable information to guide them in their financial journey. Content such as building healthy financial habits with tips on choosing the right lending platform aids consumers in money management.

Evangelista said that the platform’s integrity will be maintained by continuing compliance with regulations and placing the borrowers’ financial growth at the heart of their strategies.

“We value the trust that Tala has earned while serving Filipinos for the past five years. We remain steadfast in serving our borrowers with nothing but fair practices and the customers’ financial wellbeing in mind,” he said.

Guiding schools to better learning

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

TEN years ago, school leadership was noticeably absent from most major school reform agendas, and even the people who saw leadership as important to turning around failing schools expressed uncertainty about how to proceed.

What a difference a decade makes.

Today, improving school leadership ranks high on the list of priorities for school reform. In a detailed 2010 survey, school and district administrators, policymakers and others declared principal leadership among the most pressing matters on a list of issues in public school education. Teacher quality stood above everything else, but principal leadership came next, outstripping matters including dropout rates, STEM (science, technology,engineering and math) education, student testing, and preparation for college and careers.

A particularly noteworthy finding is the empirical link between school leader-

ship and improved student achievement.

Traditionally, the principal resembled the middle manager suggested in William Whyte’s 1950’s classic The Organization Man - an overseer of buses, boilers and books.

Today, in a rapidly changing era of standards-based reform and accountability, a different conception has emerged - one closer to the model suggested by Jim Collins’ 2001 Good to Great, which draws lessons from contemporary corporate life to suggest leadership that focuses with great clarity on what is essential, what needs to be done and how to get it done.

This shift brings with it dramatic changes in what public education needs from principals. They can no longer function simply as building managers, tasked with adhering to district rules, carrying out regulations and avoiding mistakes. They have to be (or become) leaders of learning who can develop a team delivering effective instruction.

The Teves' family has not yet issued their statements regarding the raids, but it was learned, the congressman was in the United States for medical treatment.

The DOJ Secretary yesterday said the travel order of Cong Teves was only until March 9, and he has to go back to the country to face allegations lodged against him.

On Tuesday, the PNP and CIDG filed multiple murder complaints against the congressman, in relation with his alleged involvement in a series of killings two years ago in the province.

Teves was accused as the one who allegedly ordered the assassination of former Board member Dungon after Dungon's name reportedly appeared in a survey as top contender for a top political post in the province.

Six alleged perpetrators tasked to assassinate the provincial governor barged into the governor’s house and opened fire upon entering the gate of the mansion. The governor died a few hours later at the hospital, including eight others whose names are not yet available at press time.

During a press briefing, Lt. Col. Gerard Ace Pelare, spokesman for the Philippine National Police Special Investigation Task Group Degamo, told the media the order came from the national headquarters in Camp Crame.

Importance of webinars for teachers

By: BRENT RAULLY A. OLACO Teacher III Luz Banzon Integrated School

THE advancement of communication technology has improved access to information for many people around the world. Where a reliable Internet connection exists, people with communication devices can tap into the treasure trove of information available online. Improved access to information is especially apparent in the education sectgor. Increasingly, people can access high quality education via the Internet. The proliferation of Internet-based education has opened access to education to a wider population through real time online classes. This means there are plenty of people who are advancing their knowledge and skills who would have otherwise not been able to do so.

That said, real time online classes have their challenges. For instance, with the different time zones and different working schedules of students around the world, it is very difficult to schedule a class when every student or attendee is available. This is where webinars come

RA Form No. 10.1

in. Webinars – web-based seminars – offer the very same advantages online classes do, namely the ability to reach dozens or hundreds of people all around the world with additional advantages included as well. Importantly, the benefits of webinars mean that schools and companies of all sizes never have to compromise on the quality of their education.

Webinars are very cost efficient for every party involved – the student and the teacher. Students do not have to invest in transportation to get an education. Similarly, the school does not have to make great investments to accommodate additional students in terms of footage or class size. In this regard, there is quite a lot of potential cost savings when using webinars as a teaching tool.

Webinar software comes with the ability to record a session live or pre-record and play the recording during the session. This introduces a convenience factor that no other form of learning or learning tool can emulate in its entirety.

be true to its DNA of being value-based and philosophy driven and above all, of being sustainable.

The Philippines is the 4th in the world worst hit by climate change according to the UN’s Risk Disaster Index. The most affected are the rural ecological people aggravated by the on-going protracted war. This is the conclusion of the Study by the World Bank as reported by the Food and Agricultural Organization. This is the reason why 4 of 5 farmers especially the young ones are now leaving farming and going to the urban centers to work as janitors, waiters or drivers that are now highly congesting the cities. This is also the reasons why the rural people are going abroad as 6,000 Filipinos were leaving daily during the pre-covid time, leaving their families behind to work in other countries.

Not only shall we address climate change; let us also bring peace especially in the resource-rich Mindanao where the second longest war in the world – the Mindanao War – must now be stopped. But how? By uprooting the root causes of war – poverty, gross inequity and social injustice. No less than Pope Francis said when he visited Malacañang a decade or so ago that “it bids us all to break the bonds of social injustice and oppression that give rise to glaring and scandalous inequities.” Yes, in a highly skewed societal order where only 50 oligarchs control the economy, let us now advance cooperativism as the great equalizer.

Our vision/mission is to strengthen IP cooperatives to become a countervailing force against climate change and violent extremism. This has become so inspiring, manifesting a peaceful approach to end protracted war. The urgent call now is to organize the 15 million Indigenous Peoples in their 1,200 Ancestral Domains.

Why the imperative need?

Know that the poorest of the poor now are the Indigenous Peoples whose land and water rights are being violated. In Mindanao alone, some 63 IP leaders have been killed in the last 5 years? For what?

For resisting massive land grabbing by Trans-National Corporations in cohort with powers-that-be. Look at the very resource rich Mindanao.

Who controls? Who profits?

Who benefits? Some two hundred thousand hectares –the choicest of land – which were before owned by the Indigenous Peoples have been transformed into massive plantations to satisfy the consumerist lifestyle of the people in advanced countries while the Filipinos cannot even produce enough staples for its hungry and malnourished people like rice and milk. Isn’t paradoxical that our country is the biggest importer of rice? Don’t you know that 99% of the milk that we consume is imported? Indeed, the culprit is what you

call corporate globalization! We are now in the frontline on documenting the issues confronting the IPs to resolve the issues not through armed struggle but through cooperativism. Our approach is to help the IPs include massive planting of giant bamboo in hundreds of thousands of hectares that have been denuded through massive logging and mining in the last 7 decades. We will also capacitate the IPs to transform their Ancestral Domain into massive abaca, coffee and cacao plantations and in raising livestock especially cattle for dairy projects. EMPOWER THE IPS THROUGH COOPERATIVISM to counter poverty and to end the second longest war in the world. And most importantly, counter climate change as bamboo is a good carbon sink, water holder and most importantly, an alternative to fossil fuel.

Thurn, director of the German documentary "10 Billion- Whats on your plate?", farmers in rural areas are the most affected by hunger - and the ones most commonly left behind. He believes, and he is "deadly" correct, smallholders should get integrated into the modernization processes - until now, only limited to big industrialized farms.

While it won't necessarily be easy to feed 10 billion people sustainably, it is possible, experts believe. "We are producing at such a pace that the natural cycle cannot recover fast enough," Klingholz said. "And this is mainly rich countries' fault." Global agriculture currently produces some 4,000 calories per capita per day - the double of what each person needs. Sad to say but it's also true: we are already producing enough for 9 to 12 billion peoplebut we discard a third of the harvest worldwide!

Farmers are adapting to climate change. Yes, there is climate change! The World Food Program estimates that under climate change scenarios, the risk of malnutrition for children will increase 20 percent by 2050 - meaning 24 million more children could soon suffer from it. Industrialized countries are therefore even more responsible for mitigating the effects of climate change. Südhoff believes this and so do I and many others on this globe. But there is much more.

1. A Change in Relation-

ships. Whether it is a love lost or falling out of touch with a friend, relationships change throughout your life. Most certainly, one of the tough challenges in life is the loss of love. Losing love causes heartache. One of the greatest tools you can use to overcome a breakup is to use forgiveness as your weapon. Forgiveness is a strength of the greatest warriors of life. Also, while you may be angry, anger is a tool that can spark you to excel.

I needed the strength to overcome the ending of a horrible relationship. Dr. Steve helped me find that strength.

2. The Opinions of Others. Even at your best, you will have haters. You will never be able to control others' opinions, and the easy solution is to say that because I cannot control the opinions of others, I should not let them affect me. Unfortunately, we are all influenced by how others perceive us. The following have a substantial impact on our self-esteem: conclusion of whether you are good/not good enough for something; a positive/negative performance review; whether your peers recognize you as a high or low-level performer; and how your partner or family see you. Overcoming this obstacle requires a significant amount of selfconfidence and adaptability. Remember, an endless number of options are available to you. Additionally, it is an unfortunate truth that if your associates are not supporting you and pushing you to improve in all areas of life, you will improve your situation if you cut them out of your life.

3. Your chronological age. Whether you are in your early years, a young adult, middle-aged, looking toward retirement, or retired, you will likely hear someone suggest what you should or should not be doing at your age.

Some people find it difficult when others perceive their age as a hindrance. In some cases, the law may prevent you from engaging, which can also be a challenge. If you are young for the industry you have chosen, you may need to go to great lengths to dazzle folks with your abilities.

Older people can improve their chances of defeating negative opinions about their age by working diligently to stay current with the latest trends and welcoming the opportunity

to engage with people in younger generations. You will incorporate some of the habits and characteristics of the people with whom you most often associate. So if you hang out with younger people, you will likely develop actions and behaviors that can sell you as being younger than your chronological age.

4. The Emotion of Fear. Fear can paralyze, cause post-traumatic stress disorder, and it is a difficult obstacle to navigate. If you experience an overabundance of fear or anxiety, you may need to seek help from a mental health professional. Otherwise, Mark Tyrrell has published 5 surefire ways to overcome fear to help you overcome this challenge.

5. Failure. Even the most experienced will experience failure as they work toward achieving their goals. The most successful embrace fear, and I like to use FAIL as an acronym: F — First; A — Attempt; I — In; L — Learning.

Every time you fail, take it as an opportunity to reassess and learn where you went wrong and improve the situation to prevent it from happening again.

In life, we face tough challenges. To overcome this, you must step up. These challenges force us to step out of our comfort zone, and if you are willing, these challenges will mold you into a tougher and wiser person.

About 39 sellers from the DA, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, and National Food Authority are among the participants in the Kadiwa program, according to state-run Radio Television Malacañang.

DOLE is providing wages for participating sellers under the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program.

Launched in November last year, the Kadiwa ng Pangulo pop-up stores remove middlemen in the movement of agricultural products from farms to consumers, allowing food and agricultural products to be sold at cheaper prices.

Kadiwa stalls were a brainchild of Marcos’ parents, the late president Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. and former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos. (PNA)

Agda, in a statement, said that it is essential to hold a dialogue with the relatives of the rebels so the government would have a clear roadmap on helping rebels to have life in a normal community.

impact on the livelihood of the hog raisers.

His comment came as the Department of Agriculture (DA) in Central Visayas said they will adhere to the national protocol in addressing the ASF crisis in the city, which is to perform “test and destroy” or “test and slaughter” of infected hogs.

Lawyer Eddie Barrita, city legal officer, however, clarified that not the entire area of the three barangays had pigs tested positive for the virus.

“In a barangay, only one sitio (sub-village) is affected, not the entire barangays,” Barrita told the Philippine News Agency in a phone interview, even as he lamented that all hog raisers, as well as pork meat, lechon, and chicharon vendors, were made to bear the consequences.

He said the city veterinarian, Dr. Mary Ann Gabuna, raised the issue that right after March 1, the day that alleged ASF was detected in the city, no mass casualty of pigs occurred. (PNA)

"If you used to think that the government had neglected you, now there is no reason for you not to turn back to the government. There are programs intended for you and your family that have gone astray. Let's be thankful for our armies and to our government for focusing on serving and working hard to end the insurgency," Agda said.

Among the local government's plan is the provision of housing site, wherein former rebels will have a community of their own, engage in livelihood activities such as farming.

Lelina assured the 23 families that the government would never stop and in pleading and asking their help to convince their relatives to surrender.

Our government is consistent in asking you to help your relatives return to our government and live peacefully. We prefer to talk to you, we don't want to fight because we are all Filipinos,” Lelina added. (PNA)

The future leaders

By: Merichil T. Gador

The Supreme Student Government as training ground for the up and coming leaders.

The Sangguninang Kabataan (SK) elections is set to be held this coming October 2023. Remarkably, most of the aspiring young leaders who have shown interest in running for the chairmanship in Barangay Puerto, Cagayan de Oro City were past presidents of the Supreme Student Government of Puerto National High School. This is quite a validation the school’s mentoring process.

During their time as youth leaders of the school, they were exposed to a lot of challenges and difficulties because of the limitation of space and facilities while having big class sizes and shifting class schedules. These limitations pushed

them to be more creative, flexible and develop problem-solving skills. Aside from the academic rigors that these young trailblazers went through as high school students, exposure to extra-curricular activities enabled them to hone and develop leadership skills such as patience, positivity, decisiveness, and good command in communication. These are necessary skill sets needed to lead the students of the school.

Now that they will be embarking on a new journey to become young officials of a much wider and diverse community, will they be able to answer the call for public service and deliver?
