Short dry season,
more rains ahead

HE Philippine
Atmospheric
Geophysical and
Astronomical Services
Administration (Pagasa)
is expecting a shorter dry
season and more wet days
this year due to a weather
phenomenon that’s cool-
ing the surface of parts of
the Pacific Ocean.
The dry season is
expected to be shorter this
year -- it could end on the
last week of April or first
week of May, according
to weather specialist Jose
Frivaldo of the Pagasa
station in El Salvador,
Misamis Oriental.
“Paghuman sa dry
season, mopuli dayon ang
wet season. Mao na kana
ang panahon sa -- ting-
ulan na dayon na,” he
said.
Frivaldo said warm
weather conditions were
being cushioned by a
weak La Niña.
The La Niña phenom-
enon is characterized
by the cooling of parts
of the Pacific Ocean,
particularly the equatorial
eastern and central sides.
The phenomeonon is
considered to be in place
when the temperatures of
ocean’s surface drop by at
least 0.5 degrees Celsius
and become cooler than
average.
Frivaldo said Paga-
sa expects a longer wet
season as a result of the
weak La Niña.
“Mao nang mas
daghan karong tuiga ang
ihap sa mga adlaw sa
ting-ulan kay sa ihap sa
adlaw sa ting-init,” he
said.

kids’ welfare code
THE city council has approved the Cagayan de Oro City
Comprehensive Children’s Welfare Code of 2018 and
repealed a 2007 ordinance authored by Councilor Ian
Mark Nacaya.
Councilor Reuben Daba, chair of the committee on
social services, explained that the 2007 ordinance that
was authored by needed to be “upgraded” and several
provisions were added.
Nacaya co-authored the new ordinance.
The Code requires the birth registration of children in
need of special protection, the establishment of a Child
Minding Center in every commercial center, industry,
school and other working places to be operated and
maintained by the city government or the respective
management, among others.

Mother Tongue Improve Learning Outcomes in Primary Grades
By: Rosenel R. Ladica ;Teacher I
Patrocinio Elementary School
Claveria, Misamis Oriental
MTB education is instruction in a child’s first
language (L1), usually with a planned gradual transition
to a second language (L2) or foreign language at a
specified time in primary school. MTB instruction usually
takes place exclusively in the language most familiar to
children. In some cases, it may be provided as part of
a bilingual or multilingual education program. In MTB
programs, students have the opportunity to learn core
concepts primarily in a familiar language, and, later, they
learn the labels or vocabulary for those concepts in a
new language. MTB education is especially beneficial
in early childhood programs, preschool, and the early
grades (up to grade 6), when children are learning to
read and gaining new concepts.
Parents’ support is essential to the success of a
mother tongue education program. Therefore, parents
need to be well informed about the benefits of MTB
instruction and reassured that learning in the mother
tongue will not hinder their children’s opportunity
to learn a foreign or national language, often a key
goal of sending their children to school. Parents and
communities should be included in decision making
around program development and they also can
contribute to materials development, provide support
in classrooms, and conduct school oversight activities.
Determining what language will be used to
teach children is one of the most important decisions
that ministries of education make. The language(s)
used in the classroom dramatically affects children’s
opportunity and ability to learn. Yet, this decision is often
made without a careful consideration of implications
for learning outcomes. Furthermore, education
improvement efforts rarely consider the impact that
the language of instruction will have when designing
education projects. Instead, the use of mother tongue
or familiar languages is dismissed as a “political” or
national issue; considered a problem too complicated
to tackle within the scope of a project; or overlooked
due to a lack of understanding of the central role that
language plays in facilitating access to schooling and
academic achievement.
When curriculum content is presented in an
unfamiliar language, an enormous amount of time
must be spent first teaching children to understand,
speak, read, and write L2 or a foreign language,
something that is extremely difficult and wastes
valuable years in the early grades that could be spent
learning to read and learning academic concepts
in L1. Moreover, children who cannot understand
the languages used in the classroom are unable to
demonstrate what they know, ask questions, and
participate. In contrast, providing children with an
opportunity to learn in a language they understand—
starting on the first day of school—confers significant
advantages for the education system, teachers,
parents, and students.

STATE-RUN private pension
fund Social Security System
(SSS) surpassed its 2017 target
revenue, with P200.5 billion in
total earnings from members’
contributions, investments, and
other income last year.
The agency’s unaudited finan-
cial performance showed its total
revenues for the period January
to December 2017 increased by
P26.04 billion from P174.46 bil-
lion in 2016 or 5.6 percent higher
than the P189.79-billion target.
“We achieved good numbers
in 2017 on the back of our inten-
sified campaign to increase our
collections. We are pleased that
the efforts of the SSS manage-
ment and employees paid off,”
SSS President and Chief Ex-
ecutive Officer Emmanuel Dooc
said in a statement.
Contribution collection, which
comprised the bulk of the pen-
sion fund’s revenue for 2017 was
at P159.72 billion, up 10.6 per-
cent or P15.36 billion from the
2016 figure of P144.36 billion.

Rome Statute: Not about Duterte
By ROMEO CABARDE JR.
Vice chair, Amnesty International Philippines
DEAR Mr. President,
Here is a quick appeal from one of
your constituents in Davao City for
more than two decades. Rethink your
call to withdraw from the Rome Statute.
I will not approach this from a legal
analysis, although I believe that while
provided and allowed, it cannot take ef-
fect without the concurrence of the Sen-
ate whose concurrence is also required
to ratify the treaty. This duty is shared
by both the Executive and Legislative
Branches. Logic tells that the bodies
which ratified it must be the same bodies
who can put to effect an opt out.
But more than that, I feel the series
of unfortunate events strange. Self-con-
fessed big-time drug traders were
exonerated.. A huge blow against the
campaign against drugs. That decision
reinforces the observation that you are
indeed running a campaign that targets
the poor and leaves the oligarchs free
of scratch. I am disheartened especially
that we are helping your administration’s
campaign by providing rehabilitation
services to reformists, drug hotlines, re-
search and rights-based policing training
Loss of trust and confidence
LOSS of trust and confidence as a
ground for termination of employment is
valid and is allowed
Hapsay na bai! by law. The Labor
Code provides in Ar-
ticle 282 that “an em-
ployer may terminate
an employment for x
x x willful breach by
the employee of the
trust reposed in him
Egay Uy by his employer or
duly authorized represen-
tative.”
It is also settled that the breach of
trust must be willful for the termination
of employment to be valid. According
to the Supreme Court in Chuanico v.
Legacy [2013], “a breach is willful if
it is done intentionally and knowingly
without any justifiable excuse, as dis-
tinguished from an act done carelessly,
thoughtlessly or inadvertently.”

Pryce Gases Inc. (PGI), is ag-
gressively diversifying the use LPG.
Recently, it partnered with GreenGear
of Italy in bringing to the Philippine
Market LPG-powered generator sets.
Gensets are still widely used in the
country because it backward power
system is vulnerable to frequent power
outages. Gensets are also necessary
machines in far flung barangays not
reached by the electrification.
Back-up power is very important
in businesses. In fact, studies have
revealed that diesel-powered genera-
tors are silent but significant contribu-
tors to high carbon emission. The data
storage industry, including our call
centers, factories and malls use huge
diesel-fed generators as back up power
supply. And when these machines are
turned on, it emits black, carbon rich
fumes.
The initiative of Pryce Gases Inc. a
Filipino company that has come out as
major player in an industry lorded over
by multi-national firms to market LPG
powered generators is laudable and
indubitably a step in the right direction
in a world beset by climate change.
for the security forces. Then suddenly,
you dropped a bombshell. The ICC (In-
ternational Criminal Court) withdrawal
is a convenient way to cover the failure
in the Espinosa, et. al case. I appreciate
though your call to re-investigate the
said hullabaloo. But this is water under
the bridge already.
On withdrawing from the Rome Stat-
ute, I am equally appalled by the reason
you invoked in maintaining a position
to withdraw. You said the attacks were
against your person and your adminis-
tration and therefore you want a with-
drawal. This is such a selfish posturing.
The Rome Statute was ratified by the
Philippines in 2011 to protect the many
civilians and other protected persons
from the spillovers of armed conflicts
which are abundant in the Philippines
especially in Mindanao. The ratification
was to safeguard their rights, not just
yours. If we withdraw, what remedy can
still be available to the IPs, Muslims and
settlers of Mindanao who are not only
collateral but are actually primary tar-
gets of war? Just because you are incon-
venienced does not mean you give up an
instrument that was meant to safeguard
the multitude. Your disposition reeks of
See CABARDE/p.10
The first requisite for dismissal on
the ground of loss of trust and confi-
dence is that the employee concerned
must be holding a position of trust
and confidence. In a case, the SC said
that an employee who had immediate
access to confidential files, papers and
documents, held a position of trust and
confidence.
The second requisite is that there
must be an act willfully committed
that would justify the loss of trust and
confidence and the act must be convinc-
ingly established and founded on clearly
established facts, although proof beyond
reasonable doubt, as in the case of crimi-
nal prosecution, is not necessary.
The Supreme Court had ruled in sev-
eral cases that “as firmly entrenched in
our jurisprudence, loss of trust and con-
fidence as a just case for termination of
employment is premised on the fact that

gets? Definitely not another senior who’s
also duh when it comes to the latest in
technology, you know, the kind that pan-
ics when the monitor goes blank—oh,
that was me way back in the early 21st
century, when I was not even a senior
citizen yet. Hey, I’m not a senior citizen
as of today, so, what’s my excuse for the
duhness?
There we were on Monday night,
with at least two of us yawning as the
clock neared 12 midnight. This is the
group that used to morning the night
only a few years ago but last Monday,
we had chamomile tea after dinner. My
eyes were craving for macchiato, but the
nerves simply could not withstand caf-
feine and needed some help in the sleep
department.
Praying the Rosary and reading the
Bible are also sleep-inducing techniques
that one can resort to when the love of
his life is not, ahem, available for some,
ahem, action between the sheets. Al-
though for the senior, that kind of action
can be too much for his health.
There was a time when drinking the
night away could also induce sleep but
as the senior ages and with his doctors
always reminding him to be sober, he
has no other choice but to sip some tea.
The senior you’re dealing with now
as his moods switch from bliss to crass
was not that way in his younger years.
He was fun and the life of the party, the
first one to dive into a bathtub filled with
ice and drinks, and willing to man the
bar when the hired bartender was too
wasted to care.
Yup, he was young once. But the
millennial now treats him like an antique
better displayed in a museum for every-
one to ooh and aah over. When he shares
snippets of wisdom, that doesn’t stop
today’s younger ones from staring down
at their phones as if life’s lessons can
only be gathered now from memes.
So, the senior shuts up with at least
one raised eyebrow, with his thought
bubble waiting to burst later with, I told
you so!, once his warnings have been
proven to be true after all.
The senior rarely ends up as the boy
who cried wolf. By the time he has gath-
ered enough wisdom tooth, er, thoughts,
he has also learned when to share that
wisdom and to whom. He doesn’t say
anything for the sake of saying some-
thing. If he heaves a deep sigh, it’s not
always of relief. It could simply be,
Juice colored these young pehpohl.
But with most information now avail-
able through Google, who has the time
to listen to the senior?
At least the young ones are still
listening to taipans whose conglomerates
do justify that those businesses didn’t
sprout out of nowhere. These taipans

These products are competitively priced at P64,000 and
P84,000 per set respectively.
At a time when prices of petroleum product are
expected to skyrocket, PGI is bringing to the generator set
market its LPG-power machines. Under the Tax Reform
Acceleration and Inclusion or Train tax regime, prices of
gasoline will increase by up to P10 by 2020 due to the
additional excise tax imposition, while diesel will increase
by up to P6 in the same period. LPG on the other hand
will only be levied an additional excise tax of P3/ kilo
by 2020, P1/kilo per year from 2018. A kilo converts to
approximately 2 liters of LPG.
Investing in LPG-powered generator set is economical
and a necessary step in the crucial shift for cheaper,
cleaner and safe energy, said Pryce Gases Inc. chairman
Salvador P. Esca Ño.
Compared to other fuels, LPG is a low carbon emitter.
Among the other advantages of the LPG-power generator
set are its less toxicity, less maintenance and versatility.
The new composite LPG cylinders introduced earlier
by Pryce Gases, Inc. is also safer than the traditional
steel cylinders.
LPG, although derived from fossil fuel has not been
classified as a greenhouse gas by the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change. Its widespread use has been
promoted by environmentalist to reduce carbon gas
emission which has been blamed for global warming
and climate change.
Pryce Gases Inc. (PGI) is a Filipino company which
has grown as major player in the LPG industry from its
humble beginning in Cagayan de Oro. It is engaged in
importation and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) under the trade name Prycegas as well as in the
manufacture and distribution of medical and industrial
gases. PGI operates its own LPG bulk terminals, LPG
refilling plants and sales centers strategically located
nationwide. (advertorial)
