“THE Philippines, despite allotting the most time to science education in elemen-tary in the Southeast Asia, continues to rank poorly in comparison to other countries in the region,” Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano said in a recent statement citing a study by the South East Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), which said the Philippines allot more time to science at 1,100 minutes per week, as compared to Brunei’s 810 minutes, Sin-gapore’s 540 minutes, and Malaysia’s 360 minutes as the basis.

In an ideal situation, one who logs in the most minutes usually is among the top performers if not the top performer.

This holds true with al-most every aspect of life. It was thus logical for the good senator to ask “With the amount of time we spent learning science, shouldn’t we be performing better compared to our neighbors?”

Impl ici t ly, the report shows that something is amiss with our science education program; it has either stagnated or worse, deteriorated.

How and why did this happen? To this, even non-experts like me can cite a thousand and one reasons

On Science problemOn Science problemand could recite a litany of contributory factors, valid or not.

One may contend that to look for answers to the above question is an exercise in futility as the damage has been done. However, it is necessary to find out the reasons so that we may not fall into the same pitfalls again.

As to the answers, I can’t competently give one although I have my suspicions; it would take an exhaustive investiga-tion to get to the bottom of this seeming fiasco.

Nevertheless, I would like to post these questions to my fellow educators and educa-tion planners––is our current science curriculum responsive to the changing needs in these times? Are our science teachers really equipped with the proper academic tools to be able to teach science competently? And does elementary educa-tion get the full support from the government? Again, these require exhaustive studies.

On the other hand, I would like to give my insights to the question involving the teachers as I am in direct contact with them on the daily basis being on the management side of the school.

First, public elementary education does not specify specialization requirement in hiring teachers thus teachers who may not be that competent to teach science can be as-

signed to this subject. In fact, many schools still

practice the “one-teacher for all subjects” in a class even in the fifth and sixth grades. It is asking too much of our teachers to expect them to perform at a very high level and competently for all subjects.

Teachers as they are, they have their human limitations too. I am not saying that this is an anomaly but surely science teaching can be improved.

To do this, it is my humble opinion that starting the fourth grade, the science subject must be handled exclusively by teachers who will undergo science teaching specializa-tion trainings and seminars.

These science teachers should not be assigned to other subjects and should not be replaced by a non-science teacher.

Second, upgrade our sci-ence labs and textbooks.

There is still hope for our science education.

With the new K-12 pro-gram, curriculum changes and the mother-tongue based teaching and the much need-ed government support we can be still in the running for the race to the top.

Many may consider this as wishful thinking and im-possible but I do believe that some seemingly impossible things may become inevitable. Advertorial

The people of Cagayan de Oro City welcome Misamis Oriental Gov. Oscar S. Moreno as a new city resident. Gov. Moreno registered as a voter of Cagayan de Oro City in Carmen, the city’s largest barangay in the First District, last week. Whatever Moreno’s motive in register-ing as a voter in Cagayan de Oro City is not an issue.

For quite sometimes, the people of Cagayan de Oro had been hearing stories that Moreno was abandoning the people of Misamis Oriental. It is unbelievable ’though that Moreno’s action of registering, as a resident of Cagayan de Oro City, would validate such barbershop’s story.

After all, any person, whether coming from Misamis Oriental or elsewhere could transfer residency to Cagayan de Oro City. Who would not want to live in Cagayan de Oro City? Through the years, the city has grown by leaps and bound. With its continued economic growth and the pouring in of investments from anx-ious investors, the growth of Cagayan de Oro City is the pride of every Cagayanon. Thanks to incumbent City Mayor Vicente Emano who, despite unfounded accusations of ‘have done nothing’ by political rivals, have steered Cagayan de Oro City to what it is today.

Emano succeeded to draw in aggressive in-vestors and real estate developers to propel Cagayan de Oro City’s development to new heights. Moreno will now also enjoy the com-fort of Emano’s hard works. In fact, as one of the city’s new residents, Moreno now lives in an exclusive upscale subdivision in Upper Carmen. A local television reported that the millionaire-governor Oscar Moreno lives in a house costing not less than P3 million, a re-quirement imposed by real estate developers to the subdivision’s neighborhood. No doubt, having served as Congressman and Governor of Misamis Oriental for over a decade, Moreno could have saved millions.

As a politician, Cagayanons now fear that Moreno is going to run for an elective post in Cagayan de Oro City. That if Moreno wins, the popular fear is that Moreno might plunder Cagayan de Oro City’s gains established by Mayor Dongkoy Emano through the years. In the meantime, Cagayanons welcome Moreno as a millionaire resident-neighbor – not, and shall never be a future public official!

THINK a Minute.There’s a story about

a very poor family who inherited $100,000.

The mother knew this was their only chance to buy a nice little house and a better life.

The daughter saw the money as her only chance to go to medical school and become a doctor.

But the older brother wanted the $100,000 to start a business with his friend.

He promised his mother and sister that he would soon pay back the money.

Well, the mother de-cided to give her son the one chance he needed to start a business and become successful.

But just a few days later, that son’s business friend took all the money and ran.

That family’s only hope

Mercy: What a gift

for a better life was com-pletely gone.

You can imagine how terribly guilty the son felt.

His sister was so angry she hated him for what he had done.

She called him the worst names she could think of.

But her mother stopped her and said to her daugh-ter: “Don’t you know that the time to love somebody is not just when they’re doing well.

That’s not real love. Real love is loving someone

when they’re at their worst and failed. When they can’t believe in themselves.

It’s now that your broth-er needs our love and ac-ceptance the most! And if you haven’t learned that, then you haven’t learned anything!”

That’s the kind of love and mercy God has given you and me.

There’s no possible way we can ever earn or deserve God’s love and forgiveness.

We’re like the soldier in Napolean’s army who

was being punished for a crime he had done. His mother begged the great leader Napolean for mercy on her son.

Napolean said: “Woman, your son does not deserve mercy.” And the mother answered: “I know, sir. If he deserved it, then it would not be mercy.”

You see, it’s God’s mercy and love that Jesus Christ died to give us.

Because He knows it’s our only hope for a better life both now, and after we die.

So won’t you ask Jesus right now for His gift of mercy and new life?

Just ask Him to forgive you for all your wrongs in the past, and to help you start changing with Him in charge of your life today, and every day.

Just Think a Minute.

Last of two parts

NOW, there is reason to debunk the idea that the Sino-Japanese settlement would encourage peaceful settlement of various ‘hotly pursued’ areas within SCS. The Philippines is now experi-encing China’s saber rattling in areas China historically claimed as within SCS. China’s aggressive posturing started when it occupied portion of the disputed Spratly Island, a group of more than 750 reefs, islets, and atolls. It is located in SCS between Vietnam, Philippines, China, Malaysia, and Brunei. Spratly or ‘Kalayaan Island’ is 475 miles west of Palawan. There is a host of claimants over other parts of the disputed Spratly Islands.

The Philippines claimed Amy Douglas Bank – 231 KM or 124.73 Nautical Miles from Palawan Province, Philippines, Recto Bank (Formerly Reed bank) – 157 KM or 84.77 Nautical Miles, and Mischief Shoal - 250 KM or 134.99 Nautical Miles, all within the 200 nauti-cal miles guaranteed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) to the Philippines.

In 1995, China put up structure at Mischief Shoal, as shelter for Chinese anglers. It later turned out that the structure was a military listening post. China intends to construct a military airfield in the area, too. China’s military presence in Spratly showed the importance of SCS to China’s regional security. Like the Scarborough Shoal, Mischief Shoal is one of the islands in Spratly claimed by the Philippines within the ambit of Interna-tional Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS).

In return, the Philippines established a military outpost in ‘Pag-asa Island,’ part of Kalayaan Archipelago. The

Philippine government recruited civilians to populate the place. Apart from establishing a local government unit in the area, civilians working in Kalayaan are salaried in addition to free subsistence extended by the Philip-pine government.

On Feb. 17, 2009, Philippine Congress ratified the Philippine Baseline Law. The baseline law established 101 base points around the Philippine main archipelago. Under the baseline law, the base points consist of the outermost points of the outermost islands connected by straight line. The Kalayaan group and Scarborough Shoal were classified as ‘regime of islands’ under the Republic of the Philippines. ‘Regime islands,’ mean that the Philippines continue to lay its claim to the islands.

On March 10, 2009, President Gloria Macapagal Ar-royo signed the Philippine Baseline bill into law known as Republic Act 9522. The Philippine Baseline Law is UNCLOS compliant. It also adheres to the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOCS) signed by Asean countries and China on Nov. 2002. However, China and Vietnam protested the baseline law. Incidentally, both are not signatories to UNCLOS although China was one of the nation-judges of territo-rial conflicts in disputed areas in SCS.

In other words, China does not respect UNCLOS. Obviously, this is the reason why China is not akin to bringing the dispute over Scarborough Shoal for arbi-tration at ITLOS. After all, ITLOS record in resolving international dispute merely focused on maritime con-cerns. Thus, China finds ITLOS an irrelevant body when it comes to territorial dispute. China prefers a bilateral settlement of conflict with the Philippine government involving the Scarborough Shoal (Bajo de Masinloc, meaning ‘under Masinloc) and all other disputed islands within SCS.

THE Republic of Korea launched its Korea Copy-right Commission (KCC) Manila offi ce last May 10. Th is is the fourth satellite offi ce that Korea has opened since 2008. The first two are in Beijing and Shang-hai, China. Th e third is in Bangkok, Th ailand.

Chairman Yu Byong Han of KCC and Director of Copyright Division Jo Hyun Rae from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tour-ism are in attendance. Jang Seong-hwan, manager of the International Cooperation Team of KCC and Park Kyu Young, Copyright Offi cer

of MCST also fl ew in for the event.

Th e Commission is ex-pected to promote respect for Korean arts and culture and monitor intellectual property rights violations. It hopes to promote the enjoyment of legitimate copyrighted products like music, fi lm

and telenovelas. The Commission will

also help educate agents and artists in assessing and col-lecting the rates that should be collected from the use of a song, movie or artistic work.

Th e Korean government hopes very much for the legitimate enjoyment of

Korean arts and culture in the Philippines, whether online or in the forms of DVD’s. When we are suc-cessful in this, we can also demand that the Filipino artists rights be respected and duly compensated in Korea as well as a matter of reciprocity.

KCC will have the Na-tional Library of the Phil-ippines as a major partner for its copyright awareness campaign. Under the law, the National Library is the one in charge of keeping an archive of all copyrighted works in the Philippines and copyright registration.

QINHUANGDAO, China––The bid of PLDT-ABAP Women’s Team to qualify for the Olympics fizzled out as Nesthy Petecio suffered a close 10-11 decision loss to Valeria Calabrese of Italy at the lone qualifying event for women – the AIBA World Women’s Championships at the Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium in this indus-trial city 300 kilometers northeast of the capital Beijing.

Petecio falters in her Olympic boxing bid in ChinaThe bout was fiercely

fought, highlighted by some one-upmanship as the 20-year-old Filipina was wrestled to the canvass several times in the third and fourth rounds.

The first round was even at 2-2, the second went to Petecio 6-5, then the Italian was given the third at 9-8 and both fighters picked up two points each in the final round, giving Calabrese the one-point edge.

Petecio, the lone Filipino entry in the Olympic 51-Kg. Flyweight Division, was de-spondent but said “I really tried my best but I guess this wasn’t for me. I’m sorry if I let my countrymen down.”

There are only three Olympic weight divisions for women: Flyweight (51 Kg.), Lightweight (60 Kg.)

and Middleweight (75 Kg.)Her two team mates,

however, who are competing in the non-Olympic weight categories, got the better of their respective rivals in their opening matches.

Alice Kate Aparri beat Brazilian Cielia Costa, 15-11, in the 54-Kg. Bantam-weight division to set up

a second round meeting with Nimini Jayasinghe of Sri Lanka.

Aparri, the World Cham-pionship bronze medalist, led after a 1-1 stand-off in the first. Then the 27-year-old Baguio City native start-ed dominating at 8-4, 11-8 and finally 15-11.

Josie Gabuco, 25, pum-

melled her gutsy Venezuelan opponent Yarineth Gonzalez Altuve in four rounds, 6-3, 13-6, 18-9 and 24-13.

The Puerto Princesa lass scored repeatedly on accu-rate right straights and left hooks to the head even as the Venezuelan led off with combinations that rarely hit

2010: IN THE MATTER OF ILLEGAL STRUCTURES CONSTRUCTED ALONG TAGPUANGI CREEK LO-CATED AT ZONE 3, AGU-SAN, CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, which Task Group Demolition implemented last 9 and 17 March 2011 in coordination with the Department of Public Works and Highways,” Emano said in his order, a copy of which was obtained by Mindanao Daily News.

Silverswan, owner of the land where water from the Tagpuangi creek is be-ing diverted because of the structures that block its waterway and damagesd the area, earlier lodged a com-plaint before the NWRB,

Jimmy Uy, the represen-tative of Silverswan, said that despite his request to continue the demolition process, Montalba, also the head of the Task Force Demolition in Cagayan de Oro, and Norma Geronilla, a senior official of the DPWH in Region 10, refused with several alibis.

On February 21, 2012, Uy, DPWH representatives Allan Borromeo, lawyer Ernest Anthony Lorea and Montalba entered into a set-tlement agreement before an Ombudsman representative to immediately implement the order of NWRB should a ruling would be released in favor of Silverswan.

On March 14, 2012, NWRB ruled, dispositive portion reads: “Where-fore x x x the Letter not to execute due to the filing of Quieting of Title, the Motion for Reconsidera-tion and the Manifestation and/or Motion to conduct an ocular inspection are hereby DENIED for lack of merit.”

“Accordingly, the order of this Board dated No-vember 16, 2011 stands. The OIC District Engineer, DPWH, Region and the Of-fice of the City Mayor, are hereby enjoined to demolish the illegal structures x x x.”

On March 15, 2012, the Office of the DPWH sec-retary issued its second endorsement saying: “Re-spectfully returned to the Regional Director, Region X and the OIC District Engi-neer, Cagayan de Oro City, the herein set of documents relative to the complaint regarding illegal structures along the Tagpuangi Creek at Zone 3, Agusan, Cagayan de Oro City, and referring to the 1st Endorsement dated February 10, 2012 of the Honorable Secretary directing to immediately implement his instructions to demolish the illegal struc-ture after giving due notice to the owner.

A police report said Ca-hotoy was at his post as farm caretaker in Purok 7 in Barangay Panagangan at around 8 pm when he saw the two armed men at-tempting to steal the water buffalo. Cahotoy shot the armed men to shoo them away. Oida was killed while his accomplice escaped, police said.

Oida had a standing ar-rest warrant issued by Re-gional Trial Court Branch 7 Judge Zenaida Placer for robbery under Criminal Case No. 1737, the report said.

by the Secretary.”In an interview, Mon-

talba said that he is just waiting for the “go signal” of Emano.

“Naghulat mi sa go signal ni mayor. Tua na man mga papel didto sa opicina ni mayor apan la pa man niya permahi,” Montalba said and requested that Silverswan should follow it up with the mayor’s office.

“Dili ko mo-follow-up ana kay basin ingnon lang ko nga ako interesado,” Montalba said.

When asked why it is still necessary to follow-up when Emano has already issued an order directing them to continue to implement the failed implementation of the September 15, 2010 NWRB’s order, Montalba became mum.

“Matag lihok namo dinhi sa among opisina, ipahibalo man gyud ang mayor,” Mon-talba said.

When asked why he ig-nored its settlement agree-ment with the owner of Sil-verswan, Montalba angrily replied: “Ayaw na anang Ombudsman kay basin nagtoo sila nga nahadlok ta sa kaso!”

to manage their organiza-tion and how to become a good leader in their community, Oaminal added.

With the three days 1st Provincewide seminar that will start on Friday, resource speakers will focus on every SK’s spiritual and social-moral well being as leaders to accept ways to change and pass it on to their respective barangay organizations.

Speakers with their per-sonal testimonies are invited to share to every participant that may be followed and accepted as models, like Ms. Anne Roxanne Barceló, a former TV/movie actress and singer who had been involved in social problems but because of her attitude to accepted God’s will to change her into a well being is expected to come and will share it to the participants.

Former Sex Bomb Dancer Aizy Trazeno and her hubby Arvin Aragon, who once were addicted to drugs, went into re-habilitation and now following God’s teaching will also share their personal experience.

“Yes, we invited person-alities to share with us their experience and how they have change to become better per-sons and with the Almighty’s blessings they change their lifestyle and become true be-lievers and become responsible citizens and back to the path of righteousness ,” Oaminal said.

Participants will also learn the value of self perseverance, and how to become God-loving individuals, and good leaders.

Th e youths of today are vulnerable to social menace, especially with their peers that always believed that without them they don’t belong to their groups and become a cast away.

This is the reason that with the 1st Provincial wide seminar and retreat, they are expected to realize what should be done with their lives and be reborn into reality that with out God’s presence they cannot lead other into good and respectable individuals of their communities.
