DAM observes Women’s Month, conducts Ramadhan Symposium

By Analisa P. Espanola

Datu Anggal Midtimbang (DAM), Maguindanao Del Sur --- This municipal government successfully observed on Thursday, March 30 the culmination program of the annual women’s month celebration with the theme, “We for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society.”

Mayor Mary Joy "Hadja Meriam" Uy Midtim -

bang said beneficiaries of the activity were solo parents of each barangay, the Ummahat, and Ustadzes in the municipality. They were given rice assistance, grocery items and non-food items.

The local government partnered with the Office of Maguindanao del Sur Vice-Governor Nathaniel Midtimbang where they gave each beneficiary 5 kilos of rice and grocery items, while non-food-

items were distributed by the Bangsamoro Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD).

“We served around 100 solo parent beneficiaries, 200 Ummahat and 108 Ustadzes,” the lady mayor emphasized.

As part of the celebration, Vice-Governor Midtimbang led a Ramadhan Symposium which is one of the traditional programs conducted annually during the Holy

Humanities Role in Xavier Ateneo Campus of the Future Stressed

Month of Ramadhan. Guest speakers during the symposium were Ustadz Saguir Salendab, Ustadz Abdulhamid Usman, Ustadz Abubakar Usman, and Ustadz Muslimin Limba.

“This symposium is very relevant. We invited our guest speakers to impart knowledge about the teachings of Islam to the town residents,” ViceGovernor Midtimbang said.

Its’ Humanities Program will continue to play a critical role in the Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan (Xavier Ateneo) Campus of the Future soon to rise at Manresa.

“For Xavier Ateneo to remain an authentic Jesuit university, we should continue to have humanities subjects in its higher education curriculum,” Xavier Ateneo President Fr Mars

P. Tan SJ PhD affirmed in his welcome remarks during the TAGBO 3 Literary Event held March 23-24, 2023 at the XU Little Theatre. Over 120 guests and participants from 17 universities, schools, LGUs and other institutions coming from as far as Balingasag, Misamis Oriental; Don Carlos and Maramag in Bukidnon; Iligan City, Marawi City, Davao City, and Tacloban City joined the two-day TAGBO 3 which was funded by a grant for Xavier Ateneo’s Literature Program by the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) Center for Development in Literature.

“Remember, Jesuit education draws its origin from the spirituality of St Ignatius, finding God in all things. Thus, Ignatian spirituality translated into

Jesuit education teaches a basic theological principle: whatever leads us to understand what it means to be human also leads us to understand God,” Fr Mars quoted one Jesuit writer. If the humanities humanize the student and the person, he explained how it also helps the person to understand and discern how God works in his/ her life.

For St Ignatius and those in Xavier Ateneo, humanities expands their knowledge about God as they come to know Him more deeply and discern His work in the entirety of creation, the center of which is human life and culture, he added.

Similarly, Fr Mars stressed how humanities subjects remain relevant to 21stcentury education, which the XU Campus of the Future envisions to achieve. He cited how former Jesuit Father Generals sought to expound the goal of Jesuit education by answering it with nuancing due to the contexts of their time.

Fr Pedro Arrupe coined the phrase, “to form students to become men and women for others”; while Fr Peter Hans Kolvenbach wrote “to enhance competence, con-

Taguig opens Holy Week attraction by the lake

By Christopher Lloyd Caliwan

MANILA – The Taguig City government formally opened its "Life of Christ" exhibit at the TLC Village in Barangay

Lower Bicutan to give Taguigueños a place to reflect this Lenten season.

The attraction is open from Holy Tuesday until Easter Sunday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

In a statement, the city government said Taguigueños can reflect on Jesus' passion, death, and resurrection on different corners of the park, which features The Stations of the Cross, Prayer Corner and Prayer Boxes, and Art Installations.

The city government also said 14 panels, presenting events in Jesus Christ's last day, contained each an apt Bible verse, a reflection, and an activity or a question.

Those asking for spiritual blessing can do so in the Ask Jesus provision, where they can write down their prayer intentions, and light a candle in the Prayer Corner and Prayer Boxes.

A black interactive Cross installation art is also placed in the middle of TLC Square, where visitors can write down their sins and bad habits on black paper and nail them individually on the cross.

During her visit to the park, Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano hoped that regardless of religious affiliation, Taguigueños would put focus on being grateful for the greatest sacrifice of Jesus Christ who saved the world from sins.

"I also encourage the younger generation to study and experience the Passion of the Christ, especially at this time, when our youth are going through so many trials," she added.

Meanwhile, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, meanwhile,

'Passport on wheels' attracts Ilocos Sur residents

By Leilanie Adriano

LAOAG CITY – Hundreds

of Ilocos Sur residents on Tuesday availed of the mobile passport services of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), in partnership with the provincial government and the University of Northern Philippines (UNP) Federated Alumni Association.

Held at the UNP Gymnasium in Tamag, Vigan City, the two-day pre-application period for new and old passport applicants began on Monday and ends Tuesday.

Princess dela Cruz from Magsingal town said she has been waiting for the return of the "Passport on Wheels" in Vigan for so long because it saves her the hassle of securing an online appointment and traveling a long distance to renew her passport.

“Thank you to the DFA’s Passport on Wheels, I am excited to travel again,” she said.

Dela Cruz was one of the early birds who queued up for the pre-passport application where documentary requirements were checked on Tuesday.

Michael Ryan Astom, president of the Tour Guides Association of Ilocos Sur, Inc. said the Passport on Wheels is

On the first day, a total of 383 applicants from various parts of the province were served from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Applicants with complete documentary requirements will be scheduled for processing at the same venue on May 10-11.

The Passport on Wheels program is rolled out in Ilocos Sur once a year.

“This is something that

we have been working on for years now with the DFA in order to serve our constituents and lessen their burden in going to the regional office in La Union to secure their passport,” Vice Governor Ryan Singson said in an earlier interview.

Even during the pandemic, the demand for passport services remained high in this northern part of Luzon, especially after the rollout of new passports with a 10-year validity.

two NPA rebels surrender in Sorsogon

LEGAZPI CITY – Two New People's Army (NPA) rebels operating in Sorsogon province have voluntarily surrendered to authorities, a Police Regional Office (PRO) 5 (Bicol) official said Tuesday.

As part of the government’s commitment to bring its services closer to the people, the DFA continues to partner with interested local government units, schools and other organizations to provide mobile passport services.

The Passport on Wheels service or mobile passport program can be availed of by sending a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs of the DFA via email at oca.passport. mps@dfa.gov.ph. (PNA)

In a phone interview, PRO-5 spokesperson Lt. Col. Malu Calubaquib said the rebels, a certain "Ka Bro" and "Ka Dan," surrendered to joint personnel of the PRO-5 and the Philippine Army in Sitio Lucot in Barangay Fabrica, Barcelona town on Monday.

The two also turned in high-powered firearms and war materiel.

"They are both from Larangan 1, Komite ng Probinsya 3. They also handed over two 5.56 mm. rifles, an M16A1 Elisco

rifle, two 5.56 mm. rifles, an AR-15 colt with defaced serial numbers, and assorted war materials," Calubaquib said. She quoted the surrenderers as saying that they longed to yield to authorities and begin a new chapter of their lives as allies of the community in creating a better and peaceful future for the young generation.

"The two will receive package assistance under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program. This is to guide and help them as they begin a new chapter of their lives, as well as to continuously ensure their safety from the risk and danger against the NPA," Calubaquib added. (PNA)

The People’s Battlecry: Environmental and Social Justice! Wake-up on the Fallacies of Life & Religions

We Filipinos are freedomloving people as history tells us how the Filipinos resisted against the subjugation of Filipinos by colonizers which were done then through injustices and corruption, It is so painful to note that while our country has been unfettered from colonial rule but the new colonizers loomed fronted by TNCs, oligarchs, cartel and conglomerate in cohort with corrupt politicians, Another kind of subjugation became the order of the day is being done through social injustices and corruption.

It has therefore become imperative to promote social justice. Before we can promote social justice, let us reflect for a while and know the horrible “faces” of social injustice in the life of the workers, famers, indigenous peoples, fisherfolk and the common “tao” in a country that declares in the Fundamental Law (Art. II, Sec.10) that, “The State shall promote social justice in all phases of national development.”

(i.e. financial assistance for farm inputs and post harvest facilities), yet, could not reach them as these are trapped in the pockets of those who cannot moderate their greed.

Based on a Study of the World Bank as reported by the Food Agriculture Organization of United Nations, “in the Philippines only .02 percent is the growth of the agriculture in the Gross Domestic Product in the last decade.” Poverty is indeed worse in the rural areas which is even aggravated by the Climate Crisis as the ecological people are the victims of ecological degradation. According to the same Study, the rural people are the most affected by protracted war and violent extremism. As farming has become non-viable anymore, 3 out of 4 farmers have already left farming, going to the urban centers to work as janitors, drivers, waiters and what have you.

including a lady Datu for fighting for the IP’s water rights. Fear is indeed being used as a means to control the mind and to abuse the rights of the Indigenous People. In all of those killings, no one has been arrested. Thus, the killings continue without let-up.

HENRY SALAZAR

The workers are producers of the wealth of the nation, yet, they live in dire poverty. In fact, they are leaving in droves, as if jumping from a “sinking ship,” to find jobs in foreign lands, leaving their love ones behind at so much social cost.

Food comes from their farms but the dining tables of the farmers fall short of it, tilling lands not their own and if they do, tied-up to costly seeds and technologies that adhere to conventional agriculture which is beyond their control. They sell their products under the mercy of “compradors,” following an oppressive marketing system that makes their farming nonviable. Aptly described as the “unsung heroes” and the “backbone” of the country, yet, they wallow inside the vicious cycle of poverty. What makes it more painful is that there are agricultural p rograms designed to somehow alleviate their economic difficulties to increase their productivity

How about our indigenous peoples? Well, they have become “squatters” in their own native land as the ancestral land which their forefathers had occupied for hundreds of years are now converted into massive plantations. These are the “blessed lands” of our indigenous peoples and these are the choicest of land. According to a Study of the Development Academy of the Philippines, some 63% of Mindanao is now under the control of Trans-National Corporations (TNCs) and our IPs find themselves farming marginalized and highly steep mountainous areas. “Gamay lang nga tulod, ang kabaw moligid na.”

AGAW LUPA. AGAW TUBIG. AGAW BUHAY. That is now the order of the day in the life of the Indigenous Peoples in Mindanao. The hundreds of thousands of hectares of the Ancestral Domain have been land grabbed by powerful corporations in cohort with power-that-be and when the IP leaders would stand to resist, they are killed. In fact, in the last 5 years, some 63 IP leaders have been murdered

The “blessed lands” have ceased to be so because these lands, where plantations have loomed, reek with poisons, having been bombarded for several decades with multifarious toxic chemicals, 8 of which are already internationally banned (based on the examined samples of water, air and soil in Davao.) Certainly, these chemicals are carcinogenic, the reason why cancer has become a common disease of the Mindanawons.

As for our fisherfolk, they are the ones catching fish, yet their children are hungry as malnutrition is highest in the coastal communities. This is so because the grandeur of the Philippine bays is now fast disappearing as they undergo progressive state of impairment and with it, the marginalization of the coastal populace. Unlike before when fish would literally jump into their “banca,” fish now can hardly be caught.

Why? What are the fatal blows causing the death of the once mighty marine and fishery ecosystem? Well, the bays are treated as waste pits. First is industrial pollution. Chemical waste from industries and factories are dumped in the bays. Other silent killers are the internationally banned chemical fertilizers and insecticides which are heavily used in surrounding plantations. These non-biodegradable, petroleum-based agricultural inputs are washed from the soil into rivers and into the sea, entering food chain and

It’s the most important and oldest festival of the Christian Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and held (in the Western Church) between March 21 and April 25, on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the northern spring equinox.

Easter is celebrated by Christians as a joyous holiday because it represents the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament and the revelation of God's salvific plan for all of humankind.

In commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus, Easter also celebrates the defeat of death and the hope of

salvation.

The naming of the celebration as “Easter” seems to go back to the name of a pre-Christian goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at the beginning of spring. The only reference to this goddess comes from the writings of the Venerable Bede, a British monk who lived in the late seventh and early eighth century.

Easter is the day that Christians believe that Christ rose from the dead, bringing eternal life to followers. Christ's resurrection, following his crucifixion on what is known

as Good Friday, is a time of rejoicing and rebirth. Death, resurrection and eggs. Imprisonment, humiliations, carrying the cross, crucifixion, death on Good Friday, rising from the tomb, glorious, never to suffer and die again: I wish you, my dear readers, a blessed and Happy Easter! And: enjoy your egg hunting with your beloved family!

K-12 CURRICULUM: INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY

By: DAPHNE JANE V. BAHIAN Teacher I Lugait Central School, DepEd Misamis Oriental

Educational technology, commonly known as EdTech, refers to the integration of technological tools and resources into educational systems to enhance learning and teaching. The Philippines has recently introduced her use of EdTech into the education system to provide a better learning experience for students and teachers. This essay discusses the current state of educational technology in the Philippines, its impact on education, and the challenges it presents.

In recent years, the Philippine government has made great efforts to integrate technology into the education system. The Department of Education (DepEd) started his computerization program in 2014. The program aims to equip public schools with computer units, tablets and other digital resources to improve education delivery. Additionally, the introduction of the 2012 K-12 curriculum also encourages the integration of technology into the classroom to develop 21st century student skills.

The use of educational technology in the Philippines has brought several benefits. First, learning has become more accessible and flexible, especially during the pandemic when schools have had to switch to distance learning. Her EdTech tools

such as learning management systems, video conferencing software, and online collaboration platforms enable students to continue their studies at home. Second, learning has become more engaging and interactive. EdTech tools such as educational apps, simulations, and games provide students with a more immersive learning experience that can increase their motivation and interest in learning. Finally, education has become more effective and efficient. EdTech tools make it easy for teachers to digitally create and deliver her lessons, monitor student progress, and provide personalized feedback.

However, despite the benefits of educational technology, there are still challenges that need to be addressed in the Philippines.

First, not all schools have access to technology or the internet. Especially in remote areas. Lack of infrastructure and resources can hinder the implementation of EdTech in these areas. Second, not all teachers are adept at teaching with technology. Lack of training and support can lead to resistance to change and prevent you from maximizing the benefits of EdTech. Finally, the cost of technology and digital resources can be a burden for some schools, especially those on tight budgets.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY: TRANSFORM EDUCATION

By: CHERRY MAE FABRE DIGAL Teacher I

Luz Banzon Integrated School,Jasaan South District DepEd Misamis Oriental

It was commonly anticipated that technology will fully transform education before the global health crisis. For instance, it was originally thought that technology would alter how teachers impart knowledge, but in reality, not all educators are as enthusiastic about including technology in their lesson plans. Others exhibit higher levels of resistance, despite the fact that certain people may be more open to accepting digital solutions. The epidemic showed how poorly integrating technology has led to widespread learning loss, which has been exacerbated by the limitations on inperson instruction brought about, among other things, by school closures.

It is customarily the first and simplest approach to introduce technology to educators. Yet, if new technology is presented to teachers without

Addressing these challenges will require governments and other stakeholders to work together to provide schools with the necessary infrastructure, training, and resources. Governments can allocate more funds to introduce EdTech, especially in remote schools. Additionally, partnerships between government, the private sector, and civil society can provide support and training for a teacher to use her EdTech effectively in the classroom. Finally, developing open educational resources and using free and open source software can reduce the cost of technology and digital resources for schools.

In summary, educational technology has the potential to transform the Philippine education system. Benefits such as accessibility, engagement, and efficiency can improve the learning experience for students and the teaching experience for teachers. However, maximizing the benefits of EdTech within the country requires addressing infrastructure, training, and resource challenges. By working with the government, private sector, and civil society to integrate educational technology into the Philippine education system, we can provide a brighter future for Filipino students.

ENGLISH CLASSES: PREPARE FILIPINOS FOR THE GLOBAL JOB MARKET

By: KENNETH D. PABILLAR Teacher III Lugait Central School DepEd Misamis Oriental

Education in the Philippines has come a long way since the Spanish colonial days. Today, the country has a vibrant education system, serving millions of students across the archipelago. Although the Philippines has made great strides in improving access to education, there are still challenges that educators and policy makers must address to ensure that all students receive a quality education. There are several. One of the biggest challenges in classroom education in the Philippines is the lack of resources. Many schools in the country suffer from lack of funds and lack basic teaching materials such as textbooks, teaching materials and teaching materials. This lack of resources can have a significant impact on the quality of education

students receive. Teachers are forced to rely on outdated or inadequate materials for instruction.

Despite these challenges, face-to-face education in the Philippines has several strengths. One of the country’s most important strengths is its focus on English education. English is widely spoken and understood in the Philippines and many schools prioritize English classes to help prepare students for the global job market. This emphasis on English proficiency has made the Philippines an outsourcing hub, creating many employment opportunities for Filipinos in the IT and customer service industries.

Another strength of classroom instruction in the Philippines is its emphasis on holistic education. In addition to academics, many schools

Republic of the Philippines

prioritize physical education, the arts, and extracurricular activities to provide students with a well-balanced education. This approach helps students develop a wide range of skills and interests that will help them in both their personal and professional lives. Overall, face-to-face teaching in the Philippines is a complex and multifaceted topic. Educators and policy makers face some challenges, but the country’s education system also has many strengths. By addressing issues such as resources, the Philippines can further improve access to education and ensure quality and relevant basic education for all Filipino learners.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Please be informed that the Andanan River Watershed Forest Reserve (ARWFR) located at the City of Bayugan and Municipality of Sibagat, Agusan del Sur proclaimed under Presidential Proclamation No. 734 which is an initial component of Republic Act No. 7586 or the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992 as amended by Republic Act No. 11038 or the expanded National Integrated Protected Areas System (ENIPAS) Act of 2018 is proposed to be established as Protected Area to be named as ANDANAN PROTECTED LANDSCAPE (APL).

clear instructions on how to utilize it, they may be dubious about its ability to improve instruction. Policymakers must acquire the essential digital skills, encourage teachers to use these skills in their practice, and critically assess when, how, and whether these new forms of instruction are actually beneficial in order to effectively use technology to enhance the role of teachers. Nevertheless, these skills do not appear on their own or simply because technology is widely accessible. More than just switching from a notebook to a tablet, teachers can adapt new technology in a variety of ways.

Furthermore, in the context of comprehending the difficulties associated with integrating technology in education, policymakers should routinely review and evaluate the effectiveness of various solutions. To comprehend

how instructors use and view technology, policymakers should assess how it is being used and what gaps need to be filled. It can also be determined how to use technology most effectively by understanding how teachers use it and their experiences with it.

How teachers connect with their students and give instructions has changed as a result of the pandemic. More could be done to systematically encourage the inclusion of technology in their training.

We have a unique opportunity to reevaluate what instructors do, taking into account not only what technology can accomplish for them or their current skill set, but also how employing technology motivates both them and their students. While technology is a helpful tool, learning won’t be effective without correct integration.

The proposed Andanan Protected Landscape (APL) covers a total land area of 22,461 hectares covering twelve (12) Barangays of Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur namely: Brgy. Sta. Irene, Brgy. Calaitan, Brgy. Sto. Niño, Brgy. Berseba, Brgy. San Juan, Brgy. Mt. Ararat, Brgy. Mt. Carmel, Brgy. New Salem, Brgy. Mt. Olive, Brgy. Pinagalaan, Brgy. Claro Cortes and Brgy. Mahayag; and Four (4) Barangays of Sibagat, Agusan del Sur namely: Brgy. New Tubigon, Brgy. San Isidro, Brgy. Villangit and Brgy. Kioya. The watershed areas of APL supplies water for domestic and irrigation of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) supporting more than 5,000 hectares of rice fields in the Municipality of Esperanza and Bayugan City.

The DENR-PENRO Agusan del Sur is appealing the support from the general public for the proclamation of Andanan Protected Landscape (APL) as a protected area of national significance which are characterized by the harmonious interaction of man and land and water and in order to strengthen its protection, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development while providing opportunities for public enjoyment through recreation, tourism and other economic activities.

Balasabas , NMADI General Manager. “However, for this year we will be making a determined push to expand our market share in the Commercial Vehicle (CV) market segment considering how Isuzu has been the consistent CV market leader in the Philippines over the past two decades.”

NMADI is the official authorized dealer of Isuzu LCV and CV trucks in the two Mindanao regions with headquarters in Cagayan de Oro City and branches in the cities of Butuan, Dipolog, and Pagadian.

Shell Pilipinas continues recovery, posts P4.1B net income in 2022

Shell Pilipinas Corporation sus tains its recovery momentum by generating Php4.1 billion net income in 2022, up by 6% from Php3.9 billion the previous year. This was achieved amidst a chal lenging year with high inflation, fuel price volatility brought by the Russia-Ukraine war, and Philippine Peso depreciation.

The energy company’s 2022 gains are attributed to its strong marketing performance as the year’s volume delivery increased by 10%, and a sustained high premium fuel penetration. Operational cash flow, excluding movement in working capital, stands at Php1.8 billion, up from 2021’s Php1.1 billion.

“Powering progress for the Philippines will remain to be our commitment. The environment and our customers’ needs are shifting, and Shell Pilipinas is well positioned to be a trusted partner in meeting the current and changing needs of our customers. We continue to be reliable, agile, flexible, and adaptive in this ever-changing landscape,” says Lorelie Quiambao-Osial, Shell Pilipinas President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mobility business

The Mobility business sustains Shell V-Power’s position as the most preferred brand in the Philippines, with a new and improved version launched last February 2023, which cleans 100% of performance-robbing deposits and prevents future build-up on vital engine parts.

The Non-Fuels Retail business

posted a record profit of Php 2.6 billion, an increase of 24% versus 2021 with continued double-digit growth across segments. There are now 217 Shell Select stores, 223 Select Express, 93 Deli2Gos and 479 Lube bays nationwide. In addition, the business also launched the first Shell Café in the Philippines – a new offer that enhances fuel stations to be mobility destinations where customers can take care of themselves and their vehicles.

Shell Go+, the Company’s dedicated loyalty program and mobile application launched in 2021, hit its milestone of 2 million members. Shell Go+ has been generating incremental value in both fuel and non-fuel offerings per store visit.

Republic of the Philippines

Increased industrial demand

Commercial Fuels increased volume sales by 19%, showing a full bounce back to pre-pandemic levels garnering growth through key customer wins and strengthened reseller capability. Shell’s Lubricants business maintains top brand preference for Shell Advance and Shell Helix in key sectors. The business garnered 9% increase in volume while sale of carbon neutral products delivered a 39% increase. This was in conjunction with their offer expansions on coolants, brake fluids and oil filters.

Commercial Road Transport recovered well with a strong volume delivery in 2022 attributed to economic improvement, seasonality, and marketing programs.

Metrobank named PH’s Best Bank for ultra-high-net-worth clients

Gets back-to-back title as the Best Domestic Private Bank in the country from Asiamoney

Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. 's (Metrobank) Private Wealth business bags two accolades at the 2023 Asiamoney Private Bank Awards, further strengthening its position as the preferred partner of Ultra-High Net Worth segment.

Metrobank garnered the Best Domestic Private Bank in the Philippines award for the second straight year. It was also named as the Best Bank for the Ultra-High Net Worth clients.

Metrobank’s performance versus competitors, successes in achieving market share, and ability to cope with difficult or changing market conditions, were among the reasons why Asiamoney named Metrobank as the winner for both categories.

Metrobank’s Private Wealth Division has managed to deliver exceptional results in 2022 amid chal -

lenging market conditions.

“Although the Covid-19 era was rough on the broader industry, Metrobank used the disruption to build up its internal muscle. It put relationship managers under stringent certification and training programs, for instance. That boosted quality and efficiency in product areas such as treasury and trust, basic derivatives, cash management, loans packaging, and consumer lending,” says Asiamoney.

On top of Metrobank’s top-notch pool of relationship managers, Asiamoney also recognized that this significant growth of the business was fueled by the Bank’s strategic efforts to leverage its extensive branch banking network for targeted acquisition, and innovative financial solutions. These resulted in improved client coverage and service delivery.

“Metrobank’s dynamic and holistic approach to managing the wealth of our clients is a key factor for our continued recognition as the preferred partner of the Ultra-High-Net-Worth segment. But our mission goes beyond financial management. At the core, our purpose has always centered on enabling our clientele to fulfill their goals and maximize opportunities in front of them, through financial strategies tailormade for each client and their respective families,” says Lizette Perez, who heads Metrobank’s Private Wealth Division.

“This recognition is a testament to our commitment in becoming the best partner and most trusted financial advisor for Filipino affluent families. With this, we’re proud to say that our clients remain in good hands,” Perez adds.

The Bank’s Private Wealth team was established in 2016. Since then, the business has rapidly and successfully captured the attention of the UltraHigh-Net-Worth segment in the Philippines. More -

over, through Metrobank Private Wealth, customers are able to have access to the entire product suite of the Metrobank Group.

Last year, Metrobank brought home major awards from top global financial

publications. Euromoney and the Banker named it as the Best Bank in the Philippines for 2022. It was also recognized as the Strongest Bank in the Philippines by The Asian Banker for 2021 and 2022.

science, commitment, and compassion in students;” and Fr Adolfo Nicolas said students should “learn in creative new ways the depth of thought and imagination towards the construction of a more human, just, sustainable and faith-filled world.”

The current Father General, Fr Arturo Sosa addressed the question by inviting all Jesuit schools to “a continuous exercise of discernment in the face of the rapid cultural, anthropological and technological changes we are living through.”

“What all the previous and the present Fr Generals have declared is a call to human excellence, to the fullest possible development of all human qualities. It is a call to reflective thinking and disciplined studies, a call to the total formation of the person, academically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The humanities program, subjects, and activities have much to contribute to the ultimate goal of Jesuit education,” Fr. Mars noted.

He pointed out how it has become difficult to discern in the current technological age the importance of teaching students about humanities, and fulfill Xavier Ateneo’s mission statement to form graduates/students of competence, conscience, and commitment.

“Most careers (STEM) today are geared toward technological innovation and development, and the humanities are sadly often pushed to the side in higher education, in both the quantity and quality of their academic programs,” Fr Mars observed.

However, this only serves to further emphasize how the Humanities are needed “now more

R.A. Form No. 10.1 (MCRO)

than ever to provide balance and perspective” in the 21st century (Reiter, 2017), and especially true in Jesuit education.

Father Adolfo Nicolas, SJ, former Superior General of the Society of Jesus, outlines what sets Jesuit education apart from other universities: “the real measure of our Jesuit universities lies in who our students become” [and not in how much they will have].

In the emerging global reality, “tomorrow’s ‘whole person’ cannot be whole without an educated awareness of society and culture with which to contribute socially, generously, in the real world, he added.

Thus, although the new Xavier Ateneo is anchored on the 2019 Strategic Plan’s niche program areas to pursue plans for their necessary infrastructures (Health and Life Sciences; Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship; and Sustainable Engineering and Technology), it remains deeply aware of the necessity to strategically position the Humanities program to achieve its desired role in the new Xavier Ateneo in Manresa. “It’s in the plan that the humanities program will have its necessary infrastructure and facilities,” Fr Mars assures.

Not the least, he attributed the gap in the enterprise of education aptly pointed out by a well-known Jesuit philosopher, Fr Bernard Lonergan, as the unwillingness of many educators to raise or attempt to answer burning issues of the day, rather than the lack of passion, lack of faith, and lack of intelligence as the cause of this gap.

“We experience a lack of integration, a lack of depth and creativity to wrestle with answering these tough yet basic questions: why are we here? what is love? why is there evil? why do
