By CRIS DIAZ, Executive Editor

AGAYAN DE ORO CITY: Dr. Jose Chan, medical director, of the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) here on Monday said he has filed a leave until end of July to belie reports that he resigned as NMMC hospital chief.

An editor of a local newspaper wrote that Chan leaved the NMMC Friday after having an altercation with fellow doctors because of the non-payment of the “hazard allwances” of the hospital personnel. In a prepared statement released Monday morning,

Chan said that his leave of absence took effect July 20, 2020 until July 31, 2020 and has designated an officerin-charge in his absence. Chan issued the clarification amid reports that he left the NMMC and pack up things Friday after an alleged See DENIES, page 11

DOH-10 to beef up contact tracing capabilities amid LSI/ROF arrivals CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – With the massive increase in cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Northern Mindanao due to the influx of returning locally stranded individuals (LSIs) and returning overseas Filipinos (ROFs), the Department of Health (DOH) – 10 aims to reinforce its Local Contact Tracing Team (LCTT) manpower and capabilities to ensure proper containment of the virus. “If we look at the contact

tracers we have right now, we’re in the red zone when it comes to health parameters and have a moderate risk when it comes to our indicators,” DOH-10 Regional Director Dr. Adriano Suba-an said, as he cited Iligan as an example where the ratio perc contact tracer is 1 is to 2,959. “The ideal ratio is 1 is to 800.

Implementing IATF regulations by LGUs and PNP needs harmony By Dr. Manny Jaudian, COPC President, EVP Allan Mediante, Editor in Chief of Mindanao Daily News With reports from Gerry Gorit, PhilStar correspondent, and Richard dela Cruz, Eagle Broadcasting Corp.

CABANATUAN CITY – The Local government unit of this City has decried that oftentimes there was no harmonized implementation of IATF rules and coordination between them and the Province, especially, the Provincial Police Office. The son of the mayor, Julio Miguel Vergara, who is also a committee

chair for Community Affairs, told the group that barangays should be allowed to implement policies that are adaptable to their local situation. He said that each barangay has to adjust to or relax some policies from the national and provincial IATF. He added that they tried to manage traffic problems but the provincial

2 cadavers, one of a top commie, found in Surigao’s ‘battle ground’ By CRIS DIAZ, Executive Editor

PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur - Two bodies, one a top communist officer, were recovered in the ‘battle ground’ between the military and rebel forces in the hinterlands of Diatagon, Surigao Del Sur, the military reported Sunday. Capt. Aldim T.Viernes, the spokesperson of the army’s 401st Brigade based in Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur, identified one of the bodies as that of Marcelino Navarro, a.k.a. “Marsing,” head of the propaganda committee of the New People’s Army – North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NPA-NEMRC). Viernes said that the identity of the other body remains unknown. The operating military team, however, buried the decomposing bodies after conducting proper documentation, he said. According to Viernes, the military found the bodies during a weeklong pursuit operation in the area since the intermittent clashes be-

tween the military and the NPA rebels took place in the hinterlands of Diatagon in July 7. Viernes said that aside from recovering two AK47 rifles believed owned by the slain rebels, the military also recovered ammunitions, anti-personnel mines, bombmaking materials, one portable generator, assorted medical supplies, laptops, cell phones, and handheld radios. He said that the military conducted hot pursuit operations in the area after the military tagged the NPA-NEMRC responsible in the killing of four innocent tribal members in Surigao provinces since July 6 resulting in a series of armed clashes in the hinterland villages. Viernes said that the fourth and the latest tribal leader believed killed by the communist rebels was identified as Noel Estampa, 49, of Sitio Tabasngan, Mat-I, Surigao City who shot on July 11, 2020.

Urban organic gardening By EVE P. DEMATA Teacher III Bongbongon Elementary School

URBAN agriculture, urban farming or urban gardening is the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in or around urban areas. Urban agriculture can also involve animal husbandry, aquaculture, agroforestry, urban beekeeping and horticulture. These activities occur in peri-urban areas as well and peri-urban agriculture may have different characteristics. Urban agriculture can reflect varying levels of economic and social development. It may be a social movement for sustainable communities where organic growers, foodies and locavores form social networks founded on a shared ethos of nature and community holism. These networks can evolve when receiving

formal institutional support, becoming integrated into local town planning as a transition town movement for sustainable urban development. For others, food security, nutrition and income generation are key motivations for the practice. In either case, more direct access to fresh vegetables, fruits and meat products through urban agriculture can improve food security and food safety. The best time to start seeds is in March so your sprouts have a few weeks to grow strong and you can plant everything after the cold days. When you pick up seed packets, you’ll notice that they indicate the time it takes for the seeds to germinate as well as how long it takes from sprout to vegetable.

DSWD-10 to complete SAP 2nd wave in CDO by July C AGAYAN DE ORO CITY--About 20,089 out of more than 33,000 indigent families here were initially identified as beneficiaries of the second wave of the government's Social Amelioration Program (SAP) cash aid scheduled at the end of July. "The beneficiaries will be those who filled up the COVID-19 Intake Card (CIC) forms after they were unable to receive the SAP cash aid during the first wave of distribution. The list will still be validated prior to the scheduled distribution," Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Information Officer Charmaine Tadlas said, July 18. Tadlas said they submitted the list of beneficiary families who filled out the CIC form numbering more than 33,000 to the DSWD Regional Office for validation and they resent the list back to their office, reducing the number to 20,089. "Of course this will still be re-validated with the barangay officials to avoid duplication. Those who were cut out of the submit-

ted list had either received the first wave of SAP cash aid or had received cash aid from other sources like the 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program) or the COVID-19 Adjustments Measure Program (CAMP)," Tadlas said. Unlike the first SAP cash aid payout that was distributed at barangay halls, Edgar Requilme of DSWD10 said the P6,000 SAP

cash aid will be remitted to the family beneficiaries through authorized money remittance/payment centers like M. Lhullier, Cebuana Lhullier and USCC-Western Union. ´The confirmed beneficiaries will be notified through text on the schedule of SAP cash aid payout and where they will collect their cash aid. Another meeting will be held to finalize the

payout schedule which we hope will be held in the last week of July,´ Requilme said. Tadlas said beneficiaries in far-flung mountain barangays will receive their SAP cash aid at the barangay halls also in the last week of July. "For now we identified 38 families each in Barangays Tagpangi and Pagalungan as SAP cash aid beneficiaries," she said.

Digitalization of tourism industry pushed amid ‘new normal’ CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY--In its “#TravelSmart: Safe and Sustainable Tourism in the New Normal" web forum, the Department of Tourism (DOT) in collaboration with PLDT/ Smart communications tackled the changing travel landscape and the role of digitalization in the tourism sector in the face of the new normal. The webinar provided a quick review of the challenges being faced with by the tourism industry and presented digital tools for the public and private sectors to use in the midst of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the country. “It is time to part our curtain of gloom that has been plaguing our country. We should move forward in promoting tourism again," Smart Communications president Al S. Panlilio shared in his opening statement. The country’s tourism industry, which was experiencing an all-time

high especially in domestic tourism expenditure in the past couple of years and contributing to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 12.7 percent (P2.48 trillion) in 2019 underwent a huge dent in its performance at the start of the first quarter of 2020 as a consequence of COVID-19 disrupting travel conventions worldwide, leaving many Filipinos out of job due to closure of some businesses.

In response to this, the DOT braces for rehabilitating and developing a resilient tourism industry through digitalization and leveraging on technologies as a means to further enact health safety protocols without compromising comfort that is consistent with global health practices of the World Head Organization (WHO) and the Department of Health (DOH). To bolster the capabilities of domestic tourism businesses to

adapt to the new normal, the DOT has also partnered with the Board of Investments (BOI) to let businesses avail themselves of incentives to upgrade facilities to conform to the health standards. “There’s no turning back to the digital tide that the pandemic has swept in. Together, we can all recover as one,” Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat remarked. (VPSB/PIA10)

Information is power! You inform to conscienticize the people so that they can act to be liberated from the vicious cycle of poverty. But if the outpourings of information are controlled by a few oligarchs, a few elite and a few powerful corporations to control the mindset of the people through the power of the mainstream media to perpetuate their heavy rakings under the guise of “prosperity for all,” then Press Freedom bows down to the dominant culture of the profit motive. What has the mainstream media done to the mindset of the people? Bombard them with the gospels of materialism and consumerism that has produced a “throw-away” society? That gospel of information has brainwashed the people to give so much veneration to external looks, selfpromotion and trivialities. Buy this, buy that so that you will be happy. Smoke “Marlboro to look macho, drink Coke as it adds life.” “Pasayawan ka lang sa TV ng isang guapong artista, panalo na!” As owners of the mainstream media, these oligarchs continue to perpetuate their heavy rakings fronting the “trickle-down” development approach. Please tell them the truth that such so called “trickle-down” approach to the masses is just allowing what

all those which already had passed the digestive system of cattle to be eaten by the poor. Don’t you know that in 2012 alone, only 50 families pocketed 72% of the Gross Domestic Product? Who decides? Who controls? Who benefits? Only a few oligarchs! Well, these oligarchs also own the media outlets that are not informing us that one elite family is earning 500 billion pesos annually for buying foreign products at a very low price but selling these at a high price. Don’t you know that a Lipitor pill is just bought in New Delhi at P0.35 but is sold at P85 in our country? That a bag of Ammonium Sulfate fertilizer bought in Ukraine at P50 per bag is being sold in Mindanao at P1500? Is this being told to the people? The opposite is true. Mainstream media through advertisements induce the consumers to buy! What Press Freedom are you talking about? But such is just the “tip of the iceberg.” Globally, there seems to be a connivance in forming a wrong mindset and culture to perpetuate a wrong development paradigm, the contemporaneous economic model that only benefitted one per cent of the world’s population. This paradigm of imperialist globalization violently imposes the monoculture of greed and consumerism on all societies and the media

calls it “economic reform.” What is so puzzling is how the painful realties on climate change is being hidden by the media in connivance with climate change deniers “led by US President Donald Trump in cohort with fossil fuel global corporation.” Many studies have been done over time and these have never been published or broadcasted. To cite a few: a) “Climate change is increasing the global burden of disease and in the year 2000 was responsible for more than 150,000 deaths worldwide. Of this disease burden, 88% feel upon children.” b) A Study shows that some “400,000 deaths worldwide are linked to climate change each year, projecting deaths to increase to over 600,000 per year by 2030… Heat waves kill many, to be sure, but global warming also devastates food security, nutrition, and water safety. Since mosquitoes and other pests thrive in hot, humid weather, scientists expect diseases like malaria and dengue fever to rise. Floods threaten to contaminate drinking water with bacteria and pollution. When the See PRESS, page 11

Susan’s Notes

That budget impasse and the NMMC controversy

Charlotte, North Carolina— Been quite preoccupied with my Facebook Live broadcasts that I haven’t spared sometime writing but then the schedule leaves me just enough time to relax with hubby Ronnie and catching up with friends old and new in this coronavirus season. That said I also keep updated on what’s happening in my land of birth particularly in Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental, but first I tie up some loose ends. Last time I wrote the other week ago on the temporary restraining order issued on the 2020 budget of the provincial government. It didn’t exactly take long for the court to lift the TRO as it cited the COVID-19 pandemic as the chief overriding reason for allowing the provincial government access to their supposed 2020 budget that contained last minute additions such as stripping the vice-governor’s office of its entire budget and re-allocating it to a liaison office under the governor’s office.

But it remains to be seen if the case lodged by the vice governor against the Padayon Pilipino bloc had been resolved and if the Capitol administration can secure a positive review from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) which rejected the last minute 2020 budget for failing to secure the vicegovernor’s signature along with the Provincial Board (PB) secretary. If these were less critical times, the case would have been elevated to the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) which handled a similar budget row back in 2011 involving then last term Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia and her political rival, the late vice governor Gregorio Sanchez who filed administrative charges against her for, among other things, cutting off the vicegovernor’s budget. But these are not critical times and so we leave it to the courts to resolve this impasse. *************** For now though let’s talk

Susan Palmes-Dennis

a little on the surprise resignation (‘early retirement’ was the term of choice) of Dr. Jose Chan, medical director of the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) for health reasons over the weekend. The news came as a shock to Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Oscar Moreno as he noted that he didn’t expect Dr. Chan’s resignation at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing. What would be of particular interest to the mayor’s critics is the designation of Dr. Ramon Moreno as acting NMMC chief which would spark not a few unfounded, even malicious speculations that Dr. Chan was forced out of his post to make way for Dr. Moreno. In fact I’ve read some Facebook posts from some netizens clearly critical of Mayor Moreno that insinuated that Dr. Moreno’s appointment would be one way of ‘fudging the numbers’ so to speak See BUDGET, page 11

Teaching alphabet to children By MELODY S. PAÑARES, Teacher I Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

TEACHING the alphabet is foundational for reading and writing. Around the age of two, children are expressing interest in learning alphabet letters. While some kids learn letters very quickly, others need more repetition and time to learn letters. Singing the alphabet song to your child introduces the alphabet to them in a fun way. Start singing to them as a baby and as they get older, encourage them to sing along (which they probably will do naturally.) Creating the alphabet with colorful bricks is a fun way for preschoolers to become more familiar with letters and enjoy a favorite playtime

activity—building! Read all sorts of alphabet books to your children, even starting as babies. The repetition will help your child learn the alphabet at a young age. Letter recognition—also known as alphabet recognition—is the ability to: distinguish between the 26 letters of the alphabet. If your child already knows “ The Alphabet Song,” that is a great start! But there is more to letter recognition than being able to sing the ABCs. You want your child to be able to pick out the individual letters and name them, and that’s where the downloadable activities that follow really shine.

and I have been longing for this teaching approach to be implemented in ALS Butuan as well. Even without the pandemic, this pedagogy would be suitable to ALS scenarios. As we resume our classes, we are thankful that we can now fully adopt it,” Cassion says. Ana Marie Ceniza, ALS Focal Person of DepEd Butuan City believes DLP makes things easier for both the teachers and the learners, especially when social distancing is strictly imposed. “It gives the students more time to focus and absorb the topics, while teachers can easily track the learners' progress through their activity sheets,” she explains. “DLP also develops the psychomotor skills of the learners since writing is their main task. Their sense of accountability and responsibility are also more likely to develop,” Ceniza adds. The CVIF-DLP is an innovative teaching pedagogy developed by Ramon Magsaysay Awardees and physicists, Dr. Chris Bernido and Dr. M. Victoria CarpioBernido. It is recognized by the DepEd as a Flexible Learning Option to hone NOTICE Notice is hereby given that intestate estate of the late spouses SIMEON LUMBA and FELICITAS JUNI the former died on June 25, 1979 and the latter died on September 29, 1976 both of Anito, Mambajao, Camiguin left a several real properties with no will and statement.

students to be independent learners, as they continue their studies at home even with limited or no access to digital tools and internet, and with minimal teacher and parent intervention. DLP in Action’s first virtual workshop facilitated by Dr. Ray Butch Mahinay, Regional ALS Focal Person of DepEd Region X, taught the Butuanon ALS educators how they could create their own Learning Activity Sheets (LAS). He also shared the best practices of DepEd ALS Region 10 and how DLP’s independent learning strategy has previously helped ALS mobile teachers in the region. “DLP is proven as a crisis-resilient approach,” Dr. Mahinay says, pertaining to how it worked for students affected by Typhoon Sendong in 2011 and the Zamboanga siege in 2013. “I am so happy to know that more divisions and educators are enlightened and willing to adopt this approach in the Alternative Learning System. This will help more learners, especially those without access to technology, pursue education amid the pandemic,”

he explains. DepEd-ALS Butuan is the first beneficiary of the DLP In Action online trainings following the Smart-led web conference dubbed No Learner Left Behind: Education For All In The New Normal. With over 400,000 views throughout its 3-day run, the virtual event was made possible by DepEd, PLDT-Smart Foundation, Gabay Guro, AHA Learning Center, Save The Children Philippines, World Vision Philippines, and Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation. “We’ve supported the CVIF-Dynamic Learning Program for over 10 years now because it provides concrete, tried-and-tested solutions to the problems faced by the education sector, to ensure that no learner will get left behind,” said Stephanie Orlino, AVP for Community Partnerships at Smart.

Creative thinking By BLENDYL C. FERNANDEZ, Teacher I Maningcol Central School Division of Ozamiz City

EVERYBODY has a creative potential and from the moment you can express this creative potential, you can start changing the world. You might be surprised to know that everyone has creative abilities: It’s true of everyone who fully expresses creative abilities as well as those who express them very little or not at all. All humans are innately creative, especially if creativity is understood as a problemsolving skill. Put another way, creativity is inspired when there is a problem to solve. For example, when a sculptor creates an amazing sculpture, it’s an act of problemsolving: perhaps she must determine which artistic style to use in order to create the likeness of an object, or perhaps she is deciding which tools will most suit

her purpose or style, perhaps she is assessing how best to satisfy a customer’s request or earn income from her art—you get the idea. In every case, the problem sparks the sculptor’s creativity and she brings her creativity to bear in finding an artistic solution. Considered as an act of problem-solving, creativity can be understood as a skill—as opposed to an inborn talent or natural “gift”—that can be taught as well as learned. Problemsolving is something we are called upon to do every day, from performing mundane chores to executing sophisticated projects. The good news is that we can always improve upon our problem-solving and creativethinking skills—even if we don’t consider ourselves to be artists or “creative.”

Isuzu Davao Breaks Ground for the Isuzu Outlet Standardization (IOS)

SUZU Philippines Corporation recently held the formal groundbreaking ceremony for its Isuzu Davao dealership at MacArthur Highway, Matina in Davao City. The occasion was witnessed by officers and executives of IPC and Southern Motors of Davao Inc (SMDI). The proceedings were shared to members of the local and national motoring media via an online conference. The occasion marked the beginning of the actual groundworks for IPC’s 11th dealership to adopt the Isuzu Outlet Standardization (IOS), which envisions the Japanese truck maker’s role in the global and Philippine automotive industry in the decades to come. The guiding principles in forming the new design focuses on: (1) the creation of a conducive atmosphere that

leads to improved customer experience and smoother business operations; (2) the application of purposeful design that is tailored to varying customer needs; and (3) the communication of Isuzu’s reputation for durable, reliable, strong and fuel-efficient vehicles. Isuzu Davao’s IOS dealership will feature industrial style elements that speak to Isuzu’s truck and lifestyle vehicle customers. The fascia of the new dealership will be fitted with robust-looking expanded metal mesh between long red bands, expressing Isuzu’s reputation for durable and reliable products. The minimalist interior design, on the other hand, conveys a clean and sleek atmosphere while providing a more spacious and organized area for its users. The new dealership layout was carefully arranged by

taking the standpoint of the customers, enhancing the overall customer journey. Productivity will also be improved in both sales and service operations by outlining the flow of people and products within the dealership. Jockson Liu, President of Isuzu Davao, stressed during his remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony that the dealership which it owns and manages is nearing the final stages of its re-building. “As we face the Covid-19 pandemic, local and world business leaders are adopting new measures in order to protect and preserve their identity in the market. We at Isuzu Davao are firm and resolute in our decision to carry out the mission of demolishing the old building and constructing a new and modern showroom. We have reached

this final phase of construction which I consider like no other. I say this because we will be demolishing and building all in the same location. As we break this ground today, we will lay a stronger foundation that could last another 70 years.” Liu added that SMDI, which has been in operation for 71 years, has been a part of life of three generations of Filipino families and businesses. IPC President Hajime Koso, in his remarks during the ceremony, recognized Isuzu Davao’s key role in the growth of the brand in southern Philippines, and its continuing importance as a showcase of IPC’s pioneering model in IOS. “As IPC aims for the utmost ‘Customer Success’, the IOS is aligned with Isuzu’s Global Dealership Standards that gives im-

Honda Announces Cancellation of 2020 Honda Pilipinas Dream Cup Due to the uncertainties brought by the current COVID-19 pandemic, Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI), announces the cancellation of the 2020 Honda Pilipinas Dream Cup (HPDC).

The much-anticipated annual race was canceled as a way of ensuring the safety and welfare of all the people involved in the tournament. “The health, safety, and wellbeing of all participants, their

supporters, and sponsors is our priority. Amid these difficult times, we want them to focus more on keeping themselves and their loved ones safe and secure,” Mr. Ryosuke Arai, Adviser for Motorsports said. Despite the cancellation of this year’s race, Honda vows that racers and motorsports enthusiasts can expect HPDC to come back in 2021 with the same objective of helping to develop young riders’ skills and fulfill their dreams and aspirations as professional racers. HPDC is also in line with HPI’s “ONE DREAM” cam-

paign, which envisions to fulfill people’s dreams while experiencing the joy of mobility. This campaign continues to fulfill its mission during these difficult times, as more and more people began using motorcycles to accommodate their daily needs. “Even though the Dream Cup was canceled, our mission to help Filipinos fulfill their dreams using our wide array of cutting-edge motorcycles will continue. We see it as a responsibility that we must strongly uphold,” Mr. Hervic Villa, MC Planning Department Manager said.

portance to not just to the sales side but the overall customer journey—starting from their inquiry, sales, aftersales service and their continuous return to our showroom, the new outlet standard will enable us to provide customer support in every step of the way” he added. The new Isuzu Davao

showroom is expected to be completed by March 2021. With its IOS, IPC, which observes its 23rd year of operations this August, envisions its continuing leadership role in the sales and aftersales services of light commercial vehicles and trucks in the Philippine automotive landscape in the years to come.

Toyota Introduces the Hiace Cargo In 2019, Toyota Motor Philippines introduced the Full Model Change Hiace with the addition of Super GrandiaElite, and GL Tourer variants to cater to a more luxurious markets. Meanwhile, the Commuter variant continues to be the staple people-mover used as company shuttles for private use, and UV express to serve the public.

the need to transport cargo as well as people. “TMP in pursuit of providing for the needs of the market, it has introduced the Hiace Cargo to cater to customers who have requirements to transport load in a safe and secure way. It is also timely as we are also able to cater to the needs of the market for goods transfer during this pandemic situation,” explained Sherwin Chualim, Toyota Motor Philippines First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operations. “The Philippines is the largest Hiace market outside Japan. We want to continue expanding our Hiace line-up for more versatile use.” The Hiace Cargo retails at PHP 1,101,000.00 this July.

TFBM breaks ground 1st school bldg in Marawi’s MAA MARAWI CITY - The most affected area (MAA) of Marawi will soon have its first school building after the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) broke ground the P49.6 million four-storey integrated school building in Brgy. Moncado Kadingilan, this city. TFBM Chairperson Secretary Eduardo Del Rosario led the groundbreaking rites Thursday, July 16, with Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra, Assistant Regional Director Rey Peter B. Gille of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Region 10, Assistant Secretary Alf-

hadar Pajiji of the BARMM’s Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education, and Marawi Schools Division Superintendent (SDS) Pharida Sansarona. This is the first of the ten school buildings in MAA that would be constructed jointly by the Department of Education and the DPWH. Each of the school building would house 20 classrooms. During the ceremony, Secretary Del Rosario cited the importance of the school building project in shaping the knowledge and values of the youth to become productive

It gives meaning to all other projects because this will create the human resource that we need in order to deliver the other services...by creating professionals and future leaders of Marawi City and the whole province of Lanao del Sur,” he said. The TFBM chairperson also commended the efforts and sacrifices of teachers in providing quality education to the youth. “All of us would not be here if not for our DepEd and CHED teachers who help a lot in shaping all of us,” he added.

Mayor Gandamra, on the other hand, noted that the quality of education will have a great impact on the future of the country. While emphasizing that continuity of education should be the top priority of every social institution, the mayor thanked the national government for the construction of the integrated public school building in the MAA. “What happened to Marawi City three years ago has dimmed the light of education and destroyed the hopes of our students and teachers for a brighter future. However, because of the support and efforts national government through the TFBM and the different line agencies of the government, we are once again seeing a new light that would illuminate the minds of our

altercation with hospital doctors on the non-released of the “hazard allowance” of health personnel. Chan denied the report, ran by a local newspaper in an online report Saturday, saying he filed an official leave along with an application for an early retirement. According to Chan, the NMMC is waiting for the Department of Health (DOH) to release the “hazard allowances” of the health personnel, especially the “job order” workers. He said that he filed his leave with the DOH Secretary Francisco Duque while designating Dr. Ramon Moreno as OIC of the NMMC in his absence. The NMMC is the only referral government hospital for COVID-19 patients in Northern Mindanao.

10, no one would pass. This is where we failed and we need to have an answer to this. We need to work together,” he added. Moreover, the DOH-10 in coordination with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) – 10 taps the local government units (LGUs) to further improve the facilities such as Temporary Treatment Monitoring Facilities (TTMF), properly train and equip swabbers with PPEs, and to increase the number of contact tracers to supplement containment capabilities. “There’s a need to bolster our LCTT’s. We failed on that one as of now. Hopefully, we can improve our performance this week or the next, and reach the 1 is to 800 mark as well with our TTMFs. We need that now because the scenario is coming to Northern Mindanao and we have to be prepared,” he concluded. (VPSB/PIA10)

and 90% successful in containing the Covid-19 contamination. “We were prepared at the very start. Our services have been consistent, even in providing food for the residents of the city barangays. We have distributed food assistance up to the 7th phase already,” Vergara emphasized. He added that the city administration has been following directives and policy implementation from the national government. “Our problem really is the seeming indifference by the provincial government and the police provincial office, especially in implementing health protocols. Ginawa naming ang lahat sa kapakanan ng aming mga residente subalit ang problema naming ay ang “pakikialam ng probinsya at ng police provincial office” he said. Maj. Armand Magalang, retired police officer, on the

other hand, said that the province of Nueva Ecija and Cabanatuan City has sufficient supply of food products since they are an agricultural-producing area. However, due to the onslaught of the Covid crisis, business closures, and restriction of movements on buyers and consumers, the prices of goods has gone up. He said he also manages a poultry farm business but income has gone down. Very few hotels and restaurants have re-opened, accepting only 50% of their room and setting capacity. Displaced workers try to earn money with new products and services but the economic situation is far from normal, he said. In nearby, Gapan town, the residents are quite satisfied by the assistance given to them by their LGU. “Salamat sa aming local na pamahalaan na nagbigay ng tig-isang sako’ng bigas at manok maliban sa mga de-lata at cash assistance na natanggap din namin,” said a tricycle driver. In Manila, few businesses are slowly opening, but streets are not as busy yet. “During normal times, it is hard for people to easily stop and board a taxi-cab. Taxi drivers easily refused passengers especially if your destination is far from their base. Today it is the taxi driver who stops and ask you if you want a ride,” commented Nestor Abejuela, a businessman who resides in Pasay City. “Both the LGUs here and the PNP have efficiently coordinated and imposed health protocols and curfew regulations, especially that Mayor Isko Moreno is always on the prowl to lead the strict implementation of IATF regulations,” he said. Along Malate area, stores like 7-11, Micro-Stop; restaurants like Jollibee and Chowking close as early as 5 pm. They told us they strictly follow curfew hours, and the fact that there are only a trickle of customers. “Most of the buyers, order take-outs only, or buy food through motorcycle delivery order groups like “Food Panda” drivers, they said. Danica Paulino who started a cosmetics and beauty products online business, when Covid-19 started, however, assailed the fact that the customers pay more when they engage delivery riders. “Thus, you pay 30% more from the usual price of the food you want to eat, because of the delivery service charges,” she said. She commented that government agencies concerned, such as DTI should look into this problem, as almost all cities and big towns are now plagued with food delivery problems. “Although these food delivery riders are also trying to eke out a living, they should not charge excessive fees of take-outs on top of regular prices of food establishments,” she added.

Mon-Tue, July 20-21, 2020 In Marilao, Bulacan, Harvey Clemente Mediante, a barangay kagawad of Abangan Norte, echoed satisfaction of the coordination between the municipal government and the barangays, especially in food and amelioration assistance distribution. “Since we are blessed with sufficient supply of fish and poultry products, our constituents do not have problems of food. And even our suppliers do not have problems selling their produce. Once there is a harvest from their fishfarms, they sell it to LGUs nearby. Here, the municipal government bought the fish produce directly from the fish-farms and distribute it to the families,” he said. On the question of the implementation of health protocols, some residents interviewed by the team, said it is really very hard for their constituents to follow 100 percent the IATF regulations such as safe distancing, wearing of face masks and staying at home. Acting mayor Henry Lutao of Marilao, said they have already allowed some businesses (especially for essential services) to re-open. “But they should observe the health protocols, such as social-distancing, wearing of face mask when entering business premises, and sanitation procedures. We have efficiently done this with the help of our law enforcers, but honestly, if a 2nd wave of Corona Virus infection comes, it may not be easy to say that we can prevent it again with the existing health protocols imposed,” he added. A barangay resident, Gunding del Rosario of Abangan Norte, said that even if there still is a threat of the Covid pandemic, he is forced to go out to find ways to sustain his family’s need. But he lauded the officials of brgy Abangan Norte for helping them via the social amelioration program and the barangay’s local initiative to provide food assistance especially to poor residents. Some residents interviewed at brgy Abangan Sur, however, said that many of them do not wear face masks, even when there is no social distancing at the public market near the Marilao River. “Ang iba po, sabi eh, wala na nga silang pambili ng pagkain. Paano pa sila makabili ng face mask. Sir, matapang kaming mga Bulakenyo, hindi na kami takot mamatay sa Covid. Mas takot kaming mamatay sa gutom” a lady vendor said.

report looks at the added health consequences from burning fossil fuels – aside from climate change – the number of deaths jumps from 400,000 to almost 5 million per year.” The Study concluded, “When disinformation by the media known to be false is systematically used

to deny dangerous realities that harm public health and kills millions of people, the deception clearly crosses the line to become a crime against humanity.” Information through the media must now be the liberating force be it against poverty by empowering the poor and the oppressed to be drawn into the mainstream of development processes or against climate change that is perpetuated by global corporations through the continuing use of fossil fuel or coal to perpetuate their massive rakings at the tune of 9 trillion dollars a year or 10 million dollars every minute. Indeed, “Veritas Liberabit Vos!”(the truth shall set us free!) Be that voice as knowledge should be a liberating force not misinformation to promote consumerism, materialism, externalities and trivialities. Gaia (Mother Earth) is being sacrificed to the altar of greed and profit by the oligarchs to perpetuate a flawed development paradigm that is using media to brainwash the people. Press Freedom is indeed so essential but one of liberation and not exploitation!

Budget... from page 4

on the COVID-19 cases in Cagayan de Oro City. For those who’ve been monitoring the daily press briefings at Cagayan de Oro City Hall, the NMMC designated Dr. Bernard Julius Rocha as its liaison officer to issue reports on the COVID-19 cases recorded in Cagayan de Oro City and the rest of Northern Mindanao, including Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon provinces. At first Dr. Rocha refuted reports of Dr. Chan’s resignation only to confirm about it in interviews with local media last Saturday. And of course, those who monitored the press briefings know by now Mayor Moreno’s outburst over one doctor who claimed that City Hall had been underreporting on the number of COVID-19 cases in the city and he even claimed seeing body bags lined up at one of the hospitals he worked in as evidence for his allegations. Needless to say, his unsubstantiated Facebook posts were eagerly circulated by the mayor’s critics and bashers last April and May. L ately this doctor switched tactics and claimed that he is making a compilation of the COVID-19 cases being reported in the press briefings and comparing them with reports from the Department of Health (DOH-10) and Faceook posts of media outlets to determine if what City Hall is reporting is true and factual or—and this is what he’s now saying—city officials are allegedly not including deaths caused by COVID-19 like illnesses/ ailments. *************** What makes this doc-

tor’s intentions appear so insidious and highly suspect is that he’s making these allegations under a Facebook alias and agreed to a radio interview with radio blocktimers who are identified as the mayor’s chief bashers including those identified with the ‘de-color’ politicos and pro-lockdown proponents as well as a former City Hall official whom Mayor Moreno said was sacked because of some irregularities. That said, Dr. Chan’s resignation would again surely be exploited by the mayor’s critics and bashers for whatever negative propaganda they can squeeze out of it to make the mayor look bad—like scheming, Machiavellian bad which is a bare-faced malicious lie that can only be perpetrated by those with insidious designs of re-taking City Hall or landing some juicy city government posts in the next elections. Yes, I’m talking about the opposition groups who have been relentless in their attacks on Mayor Moreno even way back in 2013 when he first assumed the post and now when he’s leading City Hall and Cagayan de Oro City’s stakeholders in overcoming the COVID-19 crisis. Then again, it’s eventually up to Dr. Chan to decide whether or not to explain his reasons for retiring. But it’s up to him to decide on that. Regardless of the fallout, what’s important is for the NMMC to soldier on along with City Hall in keeping COVID-19 at bay until it is eventually overcome by the people of Cagayan de Oro City and northern Mindanao. Election politics which these greedy, amoral trapo politicos feed and survive on along with their paid trolls can and should be made to wait preferably until 2022. In the event these trapo politicians, bashers and trolls question City Hall’s reports of COVID-19 cases in the city by maliciously imputing a conspiracy between the city government and NMMC over at Facebook and other social media, it would be best to simply ignore them or better yet, challenge them to substantiate their claims to the DOH-10 whose leadership I believe relies first and foremost on scientific evidence-based data.

Huawei... from page 12

Huawei also disclosed its mid- and long-term targets for carbon emissions reduction, circular economy, and renewable energy, as well as its progress in 2019. Working towards emissions reduction, the energy efficiency of Huawei's main products was improved by up to 22%. In 2019, Huawei used 1.25 billion kWh of clean energy, which is equivalent to reducing 570,000 tons of CO2.

To contribute to a circular economy, Huawei is committed to maximizing the utilization of resources throughout the product lifecycle. For example, 86% of the products returned to the company were reused, and only 1.24% of its e-waste was landfilled. Huawei is also working to use more renewables. The photovoltaic (PV) plants built on Huawei campuses have a combined capacity of 19.35 MW, and generated 13.57 million kWh of electricity in 2019. The company is also applying its smart PV solution on a larger scale, such as at the 300 MW PV plant in Argentina's Jujuy Province. This PV plant generates 660 million kWh of electricity annually, which is enough to power 160,000 homes. Huawei is committed to safeguarding rainforests and protect endangered animals. It has partnered with R ainforest Connection that has developed uses old Huawei smartphones to monitor illegal logging and protect animals in the rainforests. This project has been implemented in 10 countries, including the Philippines. Huawei is committed to furthering digital inclusion and making digital technology accessible to all. In 2019, Huawei launched the RuralStar Lite solution, which greatly reduces site construction costs and connects more than 40 million people in remote places. The solution offers connectivity across all types of terrain such as plains, hilly regions, deserts, and island chains. Huawei has also worked with its partners to build the DigiTruck mobile digital classroom, which has provided digital skills training for nearly 800 Kenyans living in remote regions. In September 2019, Huawei signed an MoU with the UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa. The two parties will work together to take the DigiTruck to more countries and make digital skills accessible to all Africans. Huawei said in the report that ICT will play a critical role in achieving the UN's SDGs and called on the whole industry to work together to promote socioeconomic development, environmental protection, and the well-being of humanity. "Huawei believes in openness and collaboration for shared success. We are working with industry partners, such as our suppliers, to build a thriving industry ecosystem," said Tao Jingwen, a board member and Chairman of the CSD Committee of Huawei. "We are fully confident that we can overcome these challenges. We will stay the course and continue creating value for our customers and the broader global community."

UAWEI has released its 2019 Sustainability Report, which explains the progress that the company has made in supporting network stability and security, reducing emissions, responding to climate change, implementing its TECH4ALL digital inclusion action plan, and supporting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the past year. Supporting network stability remains a major part of Huawei's social responsibility and mission. During emergencies like earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, and even armed conflicts, Huawei employees remain in the heart of the crisis to restore communications networks and support smooth network operations.

In 2019, Huawei maintained network availability during more than 200 major events and natural disasters. "Over the past year, we faced challenges the likes of which we have never seen. And we stood strong," said Liang Hua, Chairman of Huawei. "We have worked day and night to patch the holes in this beleaguered business of ours, ensuring business continuity and the timely delivery of products and services to our customers. We have helped roll out networks worth hundreds of billions of dollars in more than 170 countries. Ensuring the stable operations of these networks and providing people with the best available technology is not only our purpose, it is the central tenet of our social responsibility."
