ELPIDIO M. PARAS an engineer, liked what he saw in the hills of Dahilayan, Manolo Fortich Bukidnon. His brilliant mind started working, calculating, measuring the distance from one hill to the other for what he imagined would be a good tourist attraction, A ZIPLINE! Although it was his younger brother VICTOR who dis-covered the hills because he delivered sand and gravel to a nearby municipality Kalugmanan. But all Victor wanted was for them to build a vacation house. Now all the brothers and sisters each have a hill they developed for a vacation house. When our group, the Innerwheel Club of West Cagayan de Oro had our fellowship, our very active president Gilda Brito who frequents Dahilayan was able to convince us to have our trip to Dahilayan, and I was in for a surprise! Th e hills are very well developed. It looked like a page straight from a European tourist magazine. We enjoyed the breathtaking view, with Caribbean pines greeting us and the eff ect, nice, cool and healthy. Th e scenery is terrifi c, and from where we were we saw the Zipline and the riders, fl ying by wire and very happy. It has a short, medium and dual ziplines. Last year they had over a hundred thou-sand zipline visitors. Now you can say that it certainly is our TOP TOURIST ATTRACTION and has boosted our economy especially Bukidnon.
In fact, they have hired residents of nearby municipali-ties. When the hired hands fi rst started reporting for work, most of them came barefoot. Now, most of them have motor bikes, coming in with clean pants, shirts and shoes looking snappy and contented. No more hand to mouth existence for these farmers. DAHILAYAN ADVENTURE PARK and PINEGROVE MOUNTAIN LODGE are complementing Del Monte Club house even Camp Philips. Aft er DAHILAYAN, we passed by to have our early dinner at the Del Monte Clubhouse. Th e economy of nearby municipalities has indeed improved. PINEGROVE MOUNTAIN LODGE is ready to take in guests. Daughter ROXANNE has fi nished working the interiors while son-in-law RAVI VICTORIO supervised the construction work.
We did not have time to visit Pine Grove Lodge so I can-not describe it but I’m sure it is something truly WORLD CLASS exactly what ELPIE dreamed of. With Rose and children beside him I am sure he will make his dream come true and I quote my favorite old song, and it should be theirs too: “A dream is a wish your heart makes.......Have faith in your dreams and someday....a rainbow will come shining through...If you keep on believing ...A DREAM THAT YOU WISH WILL COME TRUE”....and it certainly did come true for ELPIE, benefi tting us all!

THINK a minute.Have you ever pretended
to be something you’re not? Maybe you did it to impress or please somebody. But the longer we act like someone we’re not, the better we get at it.
We can even get so good at it that we actually fool ourselves and forget who we really are!
It’s sad that the more we hide our real self the more lonely and unsure of ourselves we become.
What mask do you some-times wear? What kind of person do you pretend to be?
Do you act strong and tough, so people won’t know that inside you sometimes feel weak, even afraid? Or do you wear the mask that says you’re a good religious person, even though in
Wearing masks
your heart you know you’re dishonest and sometimes lie or cheat other people of their money.
Maybe you wear the funny joker and life-of-the-party mask.
You feel like you always need to make a joke of ev-erything so others will laugh and not know how lonely and unhappy you really are inside.
There are many people who get drunk or take drugs because they’re tired of
wearing their mask. And it’s only after some drugs or drinks that they feel free to take their mask off and stop acting like something they’re not.
Some of them are actu-ally desperate and lonely. They’re looking for real love and acceptance, in spite of the bad things they’ve done and who they really are inside.
But it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, you can never shock Jesus Christ.
With Him you can be your real self.
The person you really are under your mask. Real Christians will love and accept you, even though they may not approve of everything you do.
They won’t be shocked by anything you’ve done be-cause some of them used to do those things too, before Jesus forgave them and gave them the power to change.
So won’t you be honest with yourself and ask Jesus to forgive you for your past wrongs.
Jesus will accept you just the way you are, but He won’t leave you that way.
He will also free and help you to start changing to reach your potential and become the person He cre-ated you to be.

A marketing mix of women and travel
A costly worship
SIX months from now when year 2012 will complete its full calendar throttle, more executives will be disap-pointed by the things they were not able to do than by the things they have done. The things that we do in our life in one year are like a regular ship schedule that one must throw off the bow-line and sail away from safe harbor.
Travel is one option a person or a family has to do either for a vacation or just gathering siblings together for the parent’s anniversary or a wedding of a friend or a relative.
Most travels are women initiated. A woman makes effective decisions for travel planning, organizing meet-ings and event. Women are the best segment in the mar-keting process considered as target market.
Women travelers and event planners inf luence trends as they love to frequent hotels, Spa’s, restaurants
and shops with their discre-tionary expense behaviors. Women’s income in the Asia Pacific region of 13.5% per capita percents has increased since 2010 compared to men who stood at 12.1%. There are more females in the world with growing income ex-cept in the Latin American nations.
Women’s status in many countries is altering with the historical roles of women, changing as their buying power grows with their per-ceived roles expand beyond caregiver and housewives.
More women are taking control in the European banking sector. In Germany,
Argentina and Australia women are elected or chosen as top leaders.
In the Philippines, the pharmaceuticals, BPO’s, ad-vertising, politics and gov-ernment are starting to feel the women power. It will not be far that another woman will rise to the Judiciary or even to the Presidency. Female genders are more concerned about value and experience. They are more felt in government and rec-ognized in the various in-dustries.
Marketing to women de-cision makers maximized the function of sales. It is a de-mographic rich with impera-
tives whose inf luence and spending power continues to strengthen even in times of tumultuous economy.
Many hotels and resorts in the Philippines are maxi-mizing their marketing ef-forts to female travelers by offering packages at their various properties. A Girl-friends Getaway package is available in Panglao, Bohol. In Badian Island south of Cebu, Badian Island Resorts and Spa sells their Spa Pack-ages in Japan and Korea. It may be time for Siargao Is-land to catch up with “Surfers Paradise” packages.
In marketing to women, let us not use imaginary vocabulary that makes a woman’s life sound hurried or crazy.
Maybe in Cagayan de Oro, let’s have the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” rafting in the river. Or have you heard of women in travel. The airline industry should be a good sponsor by offering more discounts to women?
“NO, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me noth-ing.” 2 Samuel 24.24
In 2 Samuel 24 David was about to enter God’s pres-ence in worship. However, because he took a census that he should not have, (he was trusting in his armies more than God), God sent a plague upon the land. When David saw the Angel of the Lord, he pleaded with him that he was the one who sinned, not his people. So he cried out—“let your hand fall on me!”
God then spoke to David through the prophet Gad. He instructed David to go to the threshing floor of
Araunah the Jebusite and built an altar to the Lord. So David did just that. As he approached that place (which was probably the future site of the temple on Mt. Moriah), he met Araunah and offered to buy his threshing floor. He was desperate. He needed this site to pray in order that the plague might stop.
Araunah was ready to
give David whatever he needed, for free—oxen, threshing sledges, ox yokes, the works. But David in-sisted that he himself should pay for it. He said, “I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” He knew that God deserved the very best.
David then bought the threshing floor and oxen.
He built an altar to the Lord there, and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings that he had paid for. It was then that the Lord answered his prayer on behalf of the nation. The plague on Israel stopped.
David’s worship was not cheap, it was costly.
I wonder how much of our worship is cheap wor-ship? When we enter God’s presence this week in cor-porate worship, will we be skimpy? Cheap worship ex-ists when our worship costs us nothing. We enter God’s house, but do not intend to give ourselves.
We listen to songs, but we do not intend to sing our

By PJTREMEDALCorrespondent
PINES, Oroquieta City––The Alliance of Volun-teer Educators (AVE), a party-list group, donated one school building to the Misamis Occidental Sci-ence and Technology High School (MOSTHS) located at Barangay Pines here.
Mrs. Cachiola Del Cas-tillo Magsaysay, the wife of AVE party-list Represen-tative Eulogio “Amang” Magsaysay, accompanied by the lawmaker’s chief of staff, came to Oroquieta City to turn over one school building worth P500,000.
AVE donates school building to OroquietaSchools Division Su-
perintendent Emmalinda C. Duhaylungsod of the Department of Education (DepEd) received the dona-tion on behalf of MOSTHS.
Mrs. Magsaysay told Mindanao Daily News that the assistance from the Alliance of Volunteer Educators is one way of accomplishing its promise to the people of Misamis Occidental––especially the people of Oroquieta who helped them take a seat in Congress to represent the marginalized education sector.
As a party-list, accord-ing to R.A. 7941, it is an
alternate representation of the people of this coun-try focusing on a certain sector of the society, said Mr. Ricky Juab, a staunch support of AVE party-list in Oroquieta City.
“We have to look and read back on the Consti-tution on what really a party-list means and its goal being a representative of the marginalized sector, do they really mean to help their sectors,” Juab said.
The Alliance of Vol-unteer Educators (AVE) joined Congress in 2004 but in 2007 it has failed to get the needed two percent of the total votes but made
it to the 15th Congress.Rep. Amang Magsaysay
has focused on its mission to help and support volun-teer educators.
With its “Laban sa Guro, Laban ng AVE” goal, Rep. Eulogio “Amang” Magsay-say is seriously advocating improvements in the lives of Filipino teachers and students, the lawmaker said in a press statement.
“He gets his inspira-tion from the educators of this country whom he considered as heroes and pride of the motherland, they fortify the tower of greatness shared among the people and pass on to
the next generations,” said the lawmaker.
AVE Representative Magsaysay has filed more bills in congress to name a few: HB 1565-Special Education Act of 2010; HB 2181- School Building Program; HB 2182- Twelve (12) year Basic Educa-tion Curriculum Act; HB 2812- Prescribing certain Guidelines on Collection of School Contributions; HB 2813- Penalizing Publica-tion of Defective Textbooks; HB 2814- Public Safety Education and Awareness Act of 2010 and HB2815- Extension Program Act of 2010.
BUTUAN City––All is set for the 3rd Vice Mayors League of the Philippines (VMLP) Mindanao Island Congress on June 20-22, 2012, at a hotel and convention center here.
Vice Mayor Lawrence “Law” Fortun, chairperson of the VMLP Caraga Region, said national officials had al-ready confirmed attendance of the three-day congress dubbed as the biggest event in the region this year.
“Protect the Natural En-vironment, Preserve Na-ture’s Wonders, Promote Eco-Tourism,” is the Con-gress’ theme this year, Fortun said. CD

AFTER requiring local governments to disclose their budget and finances, it is now the turn of the jails to divulge their ex-penditures and donations to the public, according to the Department of the Interior and Local Govern-ment (DILG).
In 2010, the DILG is-sued the Full Disclosure Policy obliging local gov-
Robredo requires posting of all BJMP expenses nationwideernment units (LGUs) to make public their financial documents such as bud-get, procurement bidding, among others. Since then, more than 90 percent of LGUs have complied with the policy.
Starting July 1 this year, all jails under the jurisdic-tion of the DILG will be required to post their ex-penditures and donations
in their bulletin boards nationwide.
Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo said that he would issue directive to the Bu-reau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) to direct all city, district, and municipal jails to post all expenses that they have incurred as well as the donations that they have received on their bulletin
boards for the public to freely examine.
“This is part of our ef-forts toward transparent and accountable manage-ment and supervision of the country’s jails,” said Robredo said.
Presently, BJMP has 69,372 inmates nationwide with a budget of 50 pesos daily per inmate.
Robredo encouraged
the support of the private sector, church organiza-tions and other govern-ment offices in tracking or auditing funds and dona-tions intended for jails.
‘With this, we could be assured that funds intended for the inmates are effec-tively spent,’ he said. CD

By SOL G. PILPRINCIPAL OF ST. JOHN ES
GIVING people an image of what learning could be like is really important part of improving educa-tion. Students, teachers, administrators, parents, policy makers and com-munity members have remarkably similar views of what education looks like and those views have not changed much we were in school.
There are a lot of in-novations in teaching par-ticularly in the Depart-ment of Education. Just like the SREA, Phil-IRI, Autogrades,Text2teach and others.
Innovation is con-sidered as a process of change rather that the dissemination of novel ideas. It can be defined also as a planned change in response to perceived problems rather than as an introduction of some new method or technique. It is the process of innovation which is critical rather than the content; and it is by examining prob-lems and processes rather than the new methods and techniques that we hope to analyse institutional learning. (Council of Eu-rope Symposium in the Reform and Planning of
The greatest innovationsH.E, Oxford, 1974).
The text2teach is the greatest innovation that I enjoyed with when I was a teacher at City Central School. It is not only me who is enjoying this innova-tion but also my pupils. The text2teach aims to present interactive multimedia edu-cational videos that enhance the learning experience of pupils inside the class-room. This project is part of the innovation of the Department of Education on ICT4E (Information Com-munication Technology for Education) program which uses the latest technology like the internet and laptop computer, to help improve education in the country. It also seeks to improve the quality of teaching in Grades 5 and 6 in public schools by providing highly interactive, easy-to-use learning more exciting and meaningful among the pupils.
Luckily, our school is one of the schools which has been given this kind of technology for their pi-lot implementation. We experienced how ICT can be effective tool to reach out to more learners and its use elevated to a higher purpose.
Using a Nokia N95 8GB mobile phone, 387 interac-tive, educational videos in math, science and English
are preloaded into the phones for the teachers to use in class.
A teacher simply plugs the phone into a TV and plays the video lesson for the day in the classroom for the students to enjoy and learn. The role of the teacher is just an opera-tor, facilitator, observer and others.
According to Lapus, the educational videos cre-ated for the project, which would last 3-5 minutes, will ?bring science, math and English subjects to life, illustrating key concepts, skills and competencies that students are expected to master?
These video lesson plans also help make teachers? lives easier and are compliant with the Basic Education Curricu-lum, he said.
I thank God that in-novation like this came up to make the work of the teacher easier.
The education depart-ment began the project in 2003 with more than 700,000 public elemen-tary students from 203 schools enjoying Text-2Teach technology. It had the cooperation of the Ayala Foundation, Nokia, Globe Telecom and Seameo-Innotech.
Advertorial
Congressman Rufus B. Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro City sponsors, during the Com-mittee on Local Government hearing, House Bill 5654 which calls for the resetting of the 2013 barangay elections. He filed said bill because of the fact that the government spends around 3 billion pesos for barangay elections which amount could instead be used to build classrooms and other infrastructure. Also, barangay elections tend to be very divisive which results in regression instead of progress aside from the fact that 3 terms is too short to finish projects and programs. Also in the photo is Committee chairman Rep. George P. Arnaiz.
KORONADAL City––The municipality of Glan in Sarangani province was declared under state of ca-lamity yesterday afternoon, after a flash flood affected 20 barangays early Tuesday morning.
Glan Mayor Vic tor James Yap called an emer-gency meeting with the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council where they decided to place the municipality under state of calamity.
The Provincial DRRMO reported that the flood
State of Calamity declared in Glankilled two persons and af-fected at least 568 families.
It identified the fatali-ties as Segapo Cabggdeng, 63, of barangay Cross and Rolando Mata, 40, a fish-erman from Calumpang, General Santos City, who both died of drowning.
The flood also left 162 houses totally damaged.
“We are proposing to give P10,000 financial as-sistance to families whose houses were totally de-stroyed,” Yap said.
Relief operations from the provincial and munici-pal government and other stakeholders are continu-ing.
On Wednesday morn-ing, the PDRRMO reported that a total of 276 per-sons have been rescued or washed ashore; most of them have already returned home to Maasim town.
Captain George Ursa-bia, Commander of Coast Guard District South East-
ern Mindanao (CGDSEM) reported to PDRRMO that all of the rescued went home Wednesday morning.
Ursabia, however, said that search and rescue op-erations for the missing anglers were still going on.
“Residents living along low-lying areas and moun-tain slopes are advised to be on alert for possible occurrence of flash flood and landslide,” OCD 12 Assistant Regional Direc-tor Jerome Barranco said.
NDRRMC’s 11:00 a.m. - June 14 advisory reported that TS Guchol has entered the Philippine Area of Re-sponsibility and is now named “Butchoy.”
As of 10:32 a.m. Thurs-day, Butchoy was located 880 km East of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. It has a maximum winds of 85 kph near the center and gusti-ness of up to 100 kph and is moving west northeast at 24 kph. CD WITH PIA REPORT

praise. We listen to prayers, but we do not bring him our own intercession. We give some pesos in the offering , but we have not thought about giving our best. We approach the ser-mon and our main concern is what we will get out of it.
Too often, that is our whole approach to wor-ship—we are preoccupied with what is in it for me. What will we get out of it? The problem with cheap worship, is that we are at the center, and because of that we put little or noth-ing into it.
What would costly wor-ship look like? First it would put God at the center and realize that God is not here to serve us, but we are here to serve him and give him glory. We are coming to place our lives humbly be-fore him. We are coming as givers, not takers.
Costly worship realizes that the main gift God wants today is our lives. It would prepare for the Lord’s Day by thinking about the prayers we will bring. It would ap-proach offerings with a “first fruit” mentality to honor God by giving him our best. It would approach the Scriptures with a ready mind to hear the Word of the Lord. We should come to lay genuine adoration and thanksgiving at his feet. In so doing we would discover the saying that—the more costly our worship, the more we actually do get out of it!

Dellosa cited how Mis-amis Oriental Gov. Oscar Moreno used a mult i-stakeholder approach to transform the insurgents’ former regional head-quarters in Lantad into a prosperous, peaceful and progressive community by focusing on the root causes of the insurgency.
“Apparently, the par-ticipation of the different stakeholders as well as the dedication and com-mitment of local govern-ment units in taking the lead role remains as key ingredients in negating the grounds of insurgency to prosper,” Dellosa said.
Gov. Moreno said the Lantad experience is proof positive of what Bayani-han can do.
“The joint and collab-orative efforts of the mili-tary and the civil society resulted in a “180 degrees turn of the community from an NPA bailiwick to a peaceful and progressive community,” he noted. “We are now focusing on expending this mdoel into other "bayanihan" areas l ike Sioan in Gingoog City and Bgy. Tama in Magsaysay.”
M i s a m i s O r i e n t a l garnered another Gal-ing Pook Award for the second straight year with its local peace building init iative project “The Lantad Peace-Building Experience: Turning Red
to Green in Misamis Ori-ental” (From a ‘No Man’s Land’ to a Land of Hope/Strategic Innovations in Upgrading Misamis Ori-ental’s Provincial Peace and Order Council).
Under the program, Misamis Oriental selected Sitio Lantad in Barangay Kibanban, Balingasag Mu-nicipality as a showcase for i t s paradigm shi f t in addressing the insur-gency in the province by focusing on peace build-ing instead of war and brute force to win the hearts and minds of the people by subduing the real enemies of peace: poverty and ignorance. This, at a time when the administration of former president Gloria Arroyo was vowing to wipe out the communist insurgency in a year.
“This is a teamwork I hope will be replicated in other areas of the prov-ince; a partnership that can become a showcase for ot hers to fo l low,” Gov. Moreno said. “It is difficult to attain peace through peaceful means, but it is more rewarding.”
Gov. Moreno said the Lantad Changers included the Core Group, Depart-ment of Agrarian Reform, Department of Environ-ment and Natural Re-sources, Department of Agriculture, Department of Interior and Local Gov-er nment , D epar t ment of Trade and Industry, Commission on Human Rights, National Com-mission of Indigenous Peoples, Philippine Na-t ional Pol ice , Armed Forces of the Philippines, Municipal Government of Balingasag, and the Barangay Government

Beyond the awards, winning programs become models of good gover-nance promoted for adop-tion in other communi-ties. They provide useful insights and strategies to find innovative solutions to common problems. More importantly, they af f irm the community and the loca l govern-ment’s commitment to good governance.

did not give any state-ment and ignored tele-phone calls from journal-ists. Atyani’s television
company also did not re-lease any statement about its missing crew.
It was not immediately known why Atyani was in Jolo, but the Jemaah Islamiya militants, blamed for deadly 2002 Bali bomb-ings, are actively operating alongside the Al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf fighters.
Pol i c e d i d n ot s ay whether Atyani was sent by the Dubai-based Al Arabiya TV to interview the terrorist groups.
Chief Superintendent Manuel Barcena, head of the Directorate for Inte-grated Police Operations for Western Mindanao, said they are investigat-ing the disappearance of the television news crew.
“We are investigating the disappearance of the television crew and we have directed our forces to find the trio,” he said.
The military’s Western Mindanao Command said it has no report about the missing televis ion news crew. “We have no report about it and have not receive anything from the military in Jolo,” said Army Lieutenant Colonel Randolph Cabangbang, a regional military spokes-man.
Atyani, who was a for-mer bureau chief of the Middle East Broadcasting Company, had previously interviewed Al-Qaeda ter-ror leader Osama bin Lad-en and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri in June 2001 near Kandahar in Afghani-stan, who hinted to him about what would become the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

He said the farmer is in serious condition from shrapnel wounds in the body and right leg. No in-dividual or group claimed responsibility for the blast, but security forces are fighting militants tagged as behind the kidnapping of a former Australian soldier Warren Rodwell.
Rodwell, 52, was seized from his house in the sea-side town of Ipil in Zam-boanga Sibugay province in December and brought by to Basilan, one of five provinces under the Mus-lim autonomous region. (Mindanao Examiner)
