We live in turbulent times because of very remarkable gross social inequities, increasing painful realities and threats brought about by social injustices, climate change and violent extremism. We need leaders who can listen deeply, speak responsibly and generate new societal commitments drawn from inner capacities and universal values so that they can become principled game-changers who can inspire others to commit to action. That is what a transformative leader is. Indeed glaringly, there is a need to effect social transformation in a highly skewed pyramidal societal order where only a few oligarchs are in control of the economy in cohort with powers-that-be. Whenever we decide to begin to work for social transformation, we begin with inquiries on what to change and the result we want to produce. First of all, we must ask, where are we now socially, economically and politically? Our country is oozing with ecological resources, in fact, the richest on earth. But WHO CONTROLS? WHO DECIDES? WHO PROFITS? It is in in this context that there is now an imperative need for a transformative leader who

will effect social transformation as social change has been so elusive all these years despite 14 years of Martial Law and two-people powered revolutions.

In a highly skewed societal pyramidal societal order, we do not need transactional but transformative leaders who must trailblaze the empowering of the poor and the vulnerable to draw those in the margins into the mainstream of development processes. Such is easier said than done and is very much doable. But first, that transformative leader must first lister to the cry of the poor and of the earth.

Let us recall that on June 18, 2015, Pope Francis published his now famous Encyclical Letter on “Care For Our Common Future” It began with words, “Now face as we are with global environmental deterioration, I wish to address every person living in this planet.” Central to the message is the world’s need for “an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature.”

It was also on that year, 2015, when the United Nations issued the amazing 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which is a

IAM SPEECHLESS

Is speechless positive or negative? Oftentimes, "speechless" has a negative connotation, because of its connection to anger, jealousy, etc. For example, "My mom was speechless when she heard me cuss out my grandmother." In such a sentence, "tongue-tied" wouldn't be appropriate.

certain employees, who should be in service of the people, instead of reading a magazine, doing private telephone calls, doing (important!) text messages and getting down-right cheeky, if we started uncounted follow ups. Then, suddenly, we have to learn that "the boss is out of town" or so...

global call to action to end poverty, protect the earth’s environment and climate, and ensure the people everywhere can enjoy peace and prosperity. The UN’s 17 SDGs carry the theme, “TRANSFORMATIVE COOPERATIVE FOR PEOPLE, PLANET, PROSPERITY AND PEACE.” The one billion members of the cooperatives globally were so amazed as cooperativism time has come of age. Well, am not surprised as I was then the Chairman of the Cooperative Development Authority nationally. The essence of cooperativism that speaks well of its DNA zeroes- on this truism. It’s number one DNA is that of being MEMBERS-OWNED. Yes, no one shall be left behind. Second, cooperativism is value-based and principledriven which has debunked unbridled consumerism and materialism that has denigrated spirituality. Third, is SUSTAINABILITY. Indeed,

Anyway, sometimes there is no sense in crying, but we feel paralyzed. A good friend of mine told me that a couple of days ago. Words cannot describe it and words fail me, but I wouldn't be a writer, if I couldn't express the right words at the right moment.

After the long talk with my friend, I must confess that, many times, I also felt speechless and paralyzed.

Look at this: follow ups seem to become the new national character. Indifferent people in our surroundings let us feel like that every day. Indifference seems to become one of the varagies in today's new society.

We try to get an appointment, but the other side seems to be very busy - every day of the week! Of course, we don't want to encroach on other people's time. Let's try again tomorrow! How do you feel, if you observe

. GRABE!

Yes, I might fall out of favor with some readers with today's column, but guys, what's the difference between being busy, making a good deal of money out of something and just being indifferent or "not in the mood" to entertain people.

I can tell you frankly: Many people feel paralyzed and experience a terrible loss of power of movement or sensation while dealing with uselessness, if indifference, arrogance and ignorance determine the different situations in our daily life.

If the promise has been given to help or support someone, it shouldn't be broken by endless excuses and terrible stalling tactics.

A "YES" is a "YES" and a "NO" should be a "NO" and not "MAYBE", if a promise can't be held understandable

and comprehensive. I don't like to let somebody wait for an answer or during an appointment. I try to look after it or take care of it. If I have been informed that somebody tried to contact me, but missed me, I really do everything to find him or her. What's bad about it? Sorry, I really don't like being late or "remaining silent"... . How many good ideas and highly appreciated business deals had gone with the wind because of uncomprehending, unsympathetic and unappreciated everyday deals between fellow creatures? Can you get the hang of it?

Yes, sometimes I also feel uncomfortable while observing lost chances. Remember; we don't get anything for nothing in the whole word - sure! But first, we should learn how to keep promises, to help each other, to be honest and to be one of the leaders of national stabilization and consolidation.

Iloilo police warns public against ATM swindler

By Perla Lena

ILOILO CITY – The Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) is warning the public to be wary of the swindling activity by the so-called “ATM queen” who was able to steal PHP130,000 from an elderly at Molo district last Feb. 25.

“We would like to warn our public who are doing transactions through Automated Teller Machines (ATM), especially our seniors or have no companions who are the potent target of the suspect,” said ICPO spokesperson Major Shella Mae Sangrines in a follow-up interview on Thursday.

She identified the suspect as Lunalyn G. De Pedro, 40, with last known address in Barangay Gustilo in La Paz district.

Sangrines said as per their record, De Pedro has 13 cases of theft, malicious mischief, swindling and violation of the Access Device Regulation Act of 1998 (Credit Card Violation Act) in Iloilo City; Sara town, Iloilo province; Bacolod City; and Lipa City in Batangas province.

The spokesperson added that probably there was somebody who bails her out so she was able to get out of jail.

“She was served with a warrant of arrest by the La Paz

Police Station but she posted bail and it took some time, we didn’t have reports of the ATM swindling until this Molo incident,” she said. The victim was a 62-yearold woman who made a deposit transaction in one of the ATMs in a mall in the Molo district but the machine did not dispense a receipt.

Negros Oriental bans pork products from Cebu

By Mary Judaline Partlow

DUMAGUETE CITY – The provincial government of Negros Oriental has imposed a total ban on pigs, pork, and byproducts from nearby Cebu province following the first reported African swine fever (ASF) case in Carcar City.

The total ban will be in effect for the next 45 days based on an executive order issued on March 3, said Ophelia Felisilda, chief operations officer of the Provincial Veterinary Office (PVO), told the Philippine News Agency on Thursday.

De Pedro dubbed as "ATM queen" by the local police. De Pedro was identified to have victimized an elderly in Iloilo City’s Molo district. (Photo courtesy of ICPO)

“(The late) Governor Degamo signed and issued the executive order on the total ban even before the news of the ASF cases in Carcar City came out, to prevent the swine industry in Negros Oriental from being affected by the animal disease,” she said in mixed English and Cebuano.

On Wednesday, the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) in Region 7 confirmed the first ASF case in Carcar City, after 58 of 149 pig blood samples tested positive last March 1.

The BAI statement said the animals tested were from Negros Island, although it did not specify which of the two provinces – Oriental or Occidental – the pigs came from.

Cebu province has also banned the entry of pigs and pork-related by-products from Negros Island following the detection of ASF

cases in Carcar.

Meanwhile, Felisilda said that as of March 8, Negros Oriental remains ASF-free, based on reports from 17 of the 25 local government units (LGUs) submitted to the PVO.

Last month, the BAI conducted a seminar-training on pig blood sampling for the LGUs, she said.

She added the PVO has one animal diagnostic laboratory in this provincial capital where they can run blood samples for animal disease testing.

Felisilda said an emergency meeting will be held Friday among government agencies and stakeholders amid the ASF cases in Cebu

Proposed amendments to Constitution to benefit economy - Fitch Solutions

By Joann Villanueva

MANILA

–

The economy is expected to get a boost from the proposed amendment to the Constitution given that current focus includes the economic provisions, according to Fitch Solutions.

In a commentary dated March 7, Fitch Solutions said amendments to the economic provisions of the law, such as restrictions on foreign direct investments (FDI), will help improve the country’s global competitiveness.

It cited a report by Bloomberg regarding the approval by the House of Representatives on third and final reading of the measure creating a body that will propose amendments to the 1987 Constitution.

“While it is still early days in the process, any pro-business changes to the Philippine’s business environment would pose upside risks to our long-term growth forecast

of the Philippines and in particular to investments,” it said.

The commentary said possible removal of restrictions on foreign investments will boost capital formation in the country, which historically has averaged at around 23 percent of domestic output from 2005-2002.

“Changes to legislation could see this ratio rise by several percentage points over the longer term,” it said.

Fitch Solutions said the proposed changes will not only boost foreign investments but domestic investments as well.

“We expect the administration to continue to enact proinvestment reforms over the coming quarters, especially as the President has reaffirmed his plans to make the Philippines a prime destination for foreign investors,” it added. (PNA)

ECONOMIC BOOST. The domestic economy is expected to gain from the proposed amendments to the 1987 Constitution given that current focus is on economic provisions. Fitch Solutions said possible changes in the level of foreign ownership restrictions in the country, among others, will boost the country’s competitiveness as it will encourage more investors to place funds in the economy.

THE SCENE OF THE UNSEEN: The Ghost Story

SCHOOL

A tale about ghosts more generally, may refer to a tales based on imagination rather than fact, according to Britannica.com. Everyday and anywhere , we can hear stories about superficial events, seen and happening in a dark, creepy place or abandoned houses and buildings but ours in Camaman-an Elementary School is different. A lot of incidents and talks from teachers and pupils were spreading that one of the classrooms of the Grade Six building seemed to have an unseen child living in it. The Grade Six Garnet adviser Teacher Janneth Seguar who is not a believer of disembodied soul , especially of a person who has died, appearing or manifesting among the living never gave any chance to believe such yarn. Eight years

ago, reports from students like footsteps of a younger child has found on the desks hopping from one chair to another, chair was pulled but nobody was seen doing, principal called to stop the child running on the edge of the lobby but the teacher found none and a lot more stories which didn’t affect teacher’s belief. But just this school year, 2022-2023, an occurrence happened which made her believed that indeed somebody is with her in the room. One day, August 26 in the afternoon of Friday, the teacher was printing when called to report in the principal’s office. Decided to continue the work after, went out and locked the door. A few minutes after she went back and continue her work

when she noticed a doodle on one of the paper. An illustration which said to be a little school girl’s handwork. To her surprise she checked other papers but it was really the only one with a drawing. Another circumstance of another drawing was found still during printing on September 2, 2022, Friday. The teacher tried to look for answers and explanations of the two drawings but nobody could give exact reasons why such things occurred. One thing is just for sure, the embodied being exist and is staying in the room with her. The teacher is not afraid though. She knows and remain convicted to the truth that one God is more powerful than any creatures ever existed, even scenes made by unseen beings.

Integrating financial literacy in instructional delivery

By: Lorijane T. Gumahin Teacher III Balingasag Central School Balingasag Central District Division of Misamis Oriental

Financial education is vital in developing financial literate citizenry, empowering them to make wise decisions, take advantage of economic opportunities, and to achieve financial health. Financially literate citizens can contribute more productively to inclusive growth and be more effective agents of nation building, thereby supporting the vision of “Ambisyon Natin 2040: Matatag, Maginhawa, at Panatag na Buhay” and that of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly the promotion of quality education that ensures an increasing number of youth and adults’ relevant skills and competencies for productive lives and poverty reduction (DO 22, S. 2021).

Students learn the fundamentals of money management in financial literacy classes, including budgeting, saving, paying off debt, investing, and more. This information offers the groundwork for kids to establish sound financial practices at a young age and steer clear of many blunders that result in ongoing financial difficulties.

It Is crucial to educate the next generation about financial responsibility. We want the debt awareness to our learners to strengthen. So how it is made to happen, realistically speaking? Fortunately, personal finance is 80% action and 20% information. Hence, while teaching the learners about money is important, providing them with a concrete plan to handle their personal finances is much more crucial. The six foundations are a straightforward strategy created to assist students in managing their money with assurance. These are

(1) save money for emergency, (2) stay out of debt, (3) pay cash for purchases (4) save money for college education, (5) invest, and (6) donate.

Financially literate students do more than just manage their finances wisely. They develop positive habits that eventually spread to their families, their communities, and the whole country. The toxic money culture will shift because of this trend, ushering in a new normal. One student at a time, too, is affected.

Police Major Sandy Caparroso, Rosario, Cavite Police Station chief said he approved the wedding dream of the couple because they have loved each other so badly that even bars of the jail could hinder their dream wedding.

“Wala naman tayong nakikita kahit papaanong masamang intensyon du’n sa gagawin nila. ‘Yung tao naman hindi pa naman siya convicted until meron na siyang hatol ng sentensiya,” said Police Major Sandy Caparroso, Rosario, Cavite Police Station chief.

During the wedding ceremony, Rosemarie still wore her white wedding gown. She also finds ways to push through their long time dream to get married even if her husband is still behind bars because of his violation, in which the police are still investigating.

“Pinursige ko po na maganap ‘yun kasi matagal na po namin ‘yun pinlano. Ang pumasok po sa isip kona ang dami na po naming pinagsamahan tapos nang dahil lang du’n sa pagkakataong nangyari sa kaniya parang mauudlot lahat,” the bride happily said.

Meanwhile, to make the wedding complete, the prisoners have also become instant witnesses to the wedding of the year, happening inside a jail facility in Cavite.

This was also the first wedding ceremony in the custodial facility, according to the report.

suspects said they were initially paid P20,000 for their operating expenses, the report said.

But Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remul-

la told reporters based on their initial findings, there were three to four people who allegedly planned to kill Governor Degamo.

Secretary Remulla said: “Conspiracy ‘yan, pero may mastermind ‘yan. Ang tingin namin, hanggang tatlo o apat ‘yan na nagkaisa at nagplano at kumuha na lang sila ng tao para sumapi. ‘Yan ang ating pinag-aaralan sa ngayon.”

Remulla said in order to execute their plan they have recruited people to join the conspiracy and they acted as the assassination team.

Although the DOJ did not reveal yet the identities of the alleged prominent people involved in the conspiracy while investigation is still ongoing. But the DOJ added that at the appropriate time they will also reveal the identities of those involved in a conspiracy.

Meanwhile, Congressman Arnulfo "Arnie" Teves, who was reportedly tagged by the two suspects, is currently on travel in the United States, for medical treatment, the MDNN learned.

women in BARMM, especially for your contribution to strengthening communities and nation-building, advocating and fighting for peace and equality, and for lobbying for the passage of the Bangsamoro Organic Law that established the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARMM — a historic win for the whole country," she said.

She likewise reiterated the DBM's continued support for the BARMM in its transition process.

"I strongly believe that things will work better, especially in the government, when we have more women in charge to bring equality to the table. And so, we, at the Department of Budget and Management, are determined to help BARMM as it undergoes transition and implements genderresponsive and special development programs for women," Pangandaman said.

HOW MY SCHOOL HANDLE THE PANDEMIC

By: Chuchie A. Quiring HT 1

In the time of pandemic the educational system has realigned its goal and perspective.

With this, Cogon National High School (CNHS) had made the Basic Education School-Based Learning Continuity Plan in accordance to the needs of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pursuant to the Proclamation No. 922 declaring the Philippines under the National State of Public Health Emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic, CNHS continues to operate, provides essential service, and coordinates with the stakeholders the response to various challenges in ensuring the public safety and health of our learners, teachers and stakeholders. It identifies essential critical

in decision-making," she added.

The Marcos administration has appropriated PHP64.76 billion for BARMM’s Annual Block Grant; PHP5 billion as Special Development Fund for the rebuilding, rehabilitation and development of conflictaffected communities; and PHP4.59 billion for its share in taxes, fees and charges collected in the region.

Moreover, PHP852.9 million has been allocated for the Normalization Program and PHP36.1 million for the provision of socioeconomic development assistance for former Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) combatants in pursuit of the Government of the Philippines-MNLF Peace Process Program.

Women empowerment

In a separate video, Pangandaman joined the nation in celebrating National Women’s month, determined to answer the call for women empowerment.

“So this National Women's Month, we renew our commitment to uplifting women especially Filipino women everywhere,” she said.

She also commended her fellow female public servants in the Marcos Cabinet who serve as “prime examples of empowered women.”

"Your presence and leadership in the Marcos Jr. administration is also a testament to the commitment of President BBM to inclusivity and to making sure that the best leaders have a seat at the table, regardless of gender," she added.

Pangandaman is the second female to head the DBM.

The first was the late Secretary Emilia Boncodin who introduced ground-breaking reforms on budget and pro-

curement and inculcated a culture of transparency in public financial management.

This year’s National Women’s Day celebration goes by the recurring theme from this year to 2028, “WE for gender equality and inclusive society,” according to the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) website.

“WE” stands for Women and Everyone and Women’s Empowerment.

The recurring theme is embedded in the 8-Point Socioeconomic Agenda and the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028.

It is also reflected in the Gender and Development Budget Policy directing all government departments and agencies to allocate a minimum of 5 percent of their respective annual budget. (PNA)

the world under the regime of one percent.

It is in this context that it is so amazing to know that the United Nations is supporting the Sustainable Development Goals in the Philippines. As stated, “The UN is a staunch partner of the Philippine government for achieving national development goals and the 2030 agenda including the 17 SDGs, The Partnership Framework for SDGs supports the national long term vision and maps directly and indirectly into Philippine Development Plan priorities, organizing the strategic contribution through 2030 Agenda lens into three pillars - “People”, “Prosperity”, “Planet”, and “Peace”. It builds on decades of close cooperation between the Philippines and the United Nations for the achievement of national and global development objectives, focusing on areas where the capacities of the UN, when working across mandates, will have the greatest impact to leave no behind.”

WOW, SO AMAZING. With the full support of PresBBM to advance the UN’s 17 SDGs through cooperativism, he will manifest his leadership as TRANSFORMATIVE FOR PEOPLE, PLANET, PROSPERITY AND PEACE.

The Role of Blockchain Technology in Finance and Supply Chain Management

educational activities and services that create effective responses to attend their needs.

The school continues to fulfill its mission to provide quality basic education to the learners during this time of pandemic crisis. To ensure the continuity of learning and delivery of quality education, different learning modalities should be utilized ranging from modular, offline, online and blended learning capabilities. Hence, this learning continuity plan considers the effects of the modified various learning modalities to address the delivery on learners’ achievement while ensuring the health and safety of the learners, teachers and stakeholders.

The benefits of new technologies have been transforming the world no one decades ago ever thought would come. Who would know many people would become full-time online sellers or Philippines-based virtual assistants of a German company? These have been made possible by the emergence of online payments, the growth of web portal use that serves as a company’s virtual space, and messaging that goes beyond the borders of a particular country. Most of these outcomes are also resulted by the coming of Blockchain Technologies.

A website called GetSmarter defined Blockchain Technologies as “a form of distributed ledger technology that holds records of digital data or “exchanges” in a that makes them tamper-resistant.” This technology has a set of data that can be distributed to several individuals in a formed network. They can have a copy, view it and share it. The only thing a part of a network

cannot do is make changes to the data or transaction record. If an individual wants to add or eliminate a figure or set of information, he will be required to enter a password or a private code that proves him to be an officer allowed in making changes.

There are several products of Blockchain Technologies, mostly in Finance and Healthcare. Blockchain platforms are adopted with an aim to streamline processes, improve traceability and simplify trade, and secure financial transactions. Realizing its efficiency, several industries followed afterward.

In Supply Chain Management, Blockchain Technologies assisted a lot, especially that in this industry, a complex process is involved. I said complex process because the supply chain is composed of linkage among individuals, groups, resources, activities, and technology which makes the creation and sale of a product, even from the deliv-

ery of source materials to the delivery of the end product to the customer. Blockchain Technology was commonly used to address this complexity. Through the recording of data and activities in a system, everything in the supply chain was monitored.

The same goes for Finance. Needless to say, the coming of G Cash, Maya, and online banking apps, which are basically products of Blockchain Technology, make instant payments possible. If we look around, this is how lining up in the banks is not that long anymore, online selling is popular and paying for utilities is no more a hassle. Behind the comfort, convenience, and ease, Blockchain Technology takes a big role in protecting our data and more importantly, our money as consumers. Blockchain Technologies shape more competitive Supply Chain Management and Finance industries that meet the challenging time of this modern world.
