LEGAZPI CITY -- Members of the Philippine National Police Regional Office 5

(PRO5) have started to go to barangays to

Travel Advice for Seniors

June 12 and the

commemoration
of Phl Independence
Today it is commonplace for us to celebrate
Independence Day on June 12. Prior to 1962,
however, Independence Day was celebrated on
July 4, to commemorate the day when the United
States recognized our independence in 1946.
The change of date was initiated on May 12,
1962, through President Diosdado Macapagals
Proclamation No. 28, s. 1962, which declared
June 12 as Independence Day. In 1964, Congress
passed Republic Act No. 4166, which formally
designated June 12 of every year as the date we
celebrate Philippine independence.
The earliest declaration date put forward was
on April 12, 1895, made in the Pamitinan Cave
in Montalban, Rizal when Andres Bonifacioin
the presence of some Katipunan leaderswrote
Viva la independencia Filipina! on the walls of
the cave.
Another contending date for Independence
Day was the Cry of Pugad Lawin, which began
the Philippine Revolution. Bonifacio, in the
presence of many Katipuneros, tore his cedula
as a sign of defiance of and independence from
Spanish colonial authorities. The earliest date
which the Cry was originally commemorated was
on August 26. Due to the testimony of surviving
Katipuneros of that time, like Pio Valenzuela, the
official date of the Cry was moved from August
26 to August 23. Recent scholarship, however,
suggests that the Cry happened on August 24.
Yet another contending date was the one put
forward by the Philippine Historical Association,
reasoning that the proclamation of independence
from Spanish rule in Kawit, Cavite on June 12,
1898 (with the official unfurling of the flag and
the playing of the national anthem) was not
dependent upon the will and discretion of
another. This date is now the official date of
Independence.
The least mentioned Independence Day was
on October 14, 1943, under the Second Republic.
Finally, there is Independence Day, as
celebrated prior to 1962 which was July 4, 1946,
proclaimed at Luneta, Manila. This was when the
independence of the Philippines was recognized
by the community of nations. This is still being
observed as Republic Day.

ENJOY LIFE: My wife (Lilia) and I
have realized belatedly that our lives
should be lived to the fullest as soon
as we can instead of trying to earn
enough in preparation for old age. Life
is enjoyed on day-to-day experiences!
And one of the special joys is travelling.
There are certain advisories that we
can share with fellow senior citizens
embarking on long or short trips. The
first advice is to travel light by just
bringing along the basic necessities.
Travelling seniors and PWDs
should avoid heavy check-in luggage,
and their hand-carry (limited weight)
must preferably be on four wheels.
They must have their usual good
eyeglasses and hearing aids If they
can afford the additional costs, their
better off if accompanied by a younger
family member who knows the travel
regimen. If seniors have difficulty
walking terminal stretches, they can
hire wheelchair assistants (usually
free service save for modest tips).
CUSTOMS:
US
ImmigrationCustoms officials are wary of Filipinos
na mahilig magpalusot, bringing in
Phil. delicacies and other prohibited
food products (balut and daing).
Incoming
passengerswhether
tourists or returning citizens or
residents can be penalized heavily if
they mis-declare goods. It is a strict
rule that passengers must know the
contents of their bags/boxes. They
themselves must have packed them.
At the Los Angeles airport (similar

with other US entry cities), fivefinger markings are now required by
immigration officers, in addition to onthe-spot picture. The new markings
are compared with those on their files.
Passengers must take care when their
finger prints are taken. Memorize
the exact address of the US house
or hotel they will be staying in. The
reason for the visit must be aligned
with those in the visa application. Be
precise about how much money you
are bringing in!
SARDINES: A fishery company
(Oceana Philippines) is seeking
government assistance to craft a
master plan for the development of
the sardines industry. Said company
plans to collaborate with BFAR and
DOST to draw up that master plan for
use in the national level. They say
some smaller fishes are not growing
anymore due to excessive fishing.
The intensity of fishing efforts should
be lessened because if not, the hope
for sardine sustainability will be on the
rocks.
Oceana is still in the research
stage and expects the master plan
to be up and ready by 2018. One
of the things to be mapped out is to

have certain limits of fish sizes to

be caught and to modify fishing
practices and gears.
Sardines
are affected by seasonal changes.
Sardines should mature from 10 to
14 centimeters in length. We advise
researchers to visit the Scientific
Exhibits at Monterrey (CA) in the
site where the Portola Sardines
were once bountifully canned.
TRANSITION: Incoming Finance
Secretary Carlos Dominguez III
sees a smooth transition in the
agencys leadership. I dont foresee
any hitches to the transition,
Dominguez said. Outgoing Finance
chief Cesar Purisima has instructed
all his officials to clear all policy
actions with the transition team
of his successor. Covered by
the directive are microeconomic
targets, including revenue and
deficits, ongoing tax reform studies
as well as the crafting of regulations
for three revenue laws.
Purisima said governing rules for
the Customs Modernization & Tariff
Act, Tax Incentives Management
and Transparency Act,
and
Microfinance NGOs Act will now
be handled by the Duterte team. He
said DOF public service is a relay
race. Officials dont drop the baton
when the next team is starting.
Operational professionalism means
the job is to make life as easy as
possible for the incoming team so
they can hit the ground running on
day one, Purisima added! Good
job, Sir!
WISDOM: It is easy to turn
over power to ones successor
when records and pure and wellpreserved!

Learn to have fun while learning

that learning can be fun
By LERMA P. EJES - Teacher 1
Apale Elementary School, Ragay District
Learning is fun; one the most overrated clich youll ever
hear. But truth be told, it is. Learning is more cemented if
accompanied by positive emotions, so if one is having fun while
doing something especially if it is new, then it is probable that
the person will learn more. It is basic Psychology, we learn this
from college. The problem is that most people dont practice it
much or cant remember basic behavioral and social sciences.
As an elementary teacher this idea is very crucial for me, we
teach children not just to acquire information and understand
that, that is just simple learning. What we do is give the child
information and from that they make their own novel ideas.
That is learning and adapting with style and finesse, in
short; creativity. This is where their prior knowledge and past
experiences mixes together into a myriad of ideas giving birth
to insights, imagination, inventiveness, originality and vision.
The trouble with this however is that that lofty idea of
learning is skewed by too much pragmatism and practicality.
We want instantaneous results, something tangible, something
visible, something measurable. That creates a fence that
pigeonholes learners instead of achieving greater feat and
potentials. We bombard students with superficial goals,
exaggerated expectations and overwhelming pressures. We
put unnecessary calibrations that somehow limits their true
potentials, making learning the opposite of fun. Making learning
as something punitive. Making learning skewed.
An average student spends more than half of the day in
school, and after that given several homework, resulting to
more time spent studying. The mind has its limits. Learning is
not limited to something purely academic. Social skills which
can be achieved through play is a necessary schema a child
must learn. Not only they can get this through play but also
spending time with their family members. There, fun thrives,
thus learning thrives. But there must be balance. A teacher
must know how to combine learning and fun effectively so as
not to lose the goals. Similarly, the parents must know this as
well so that they can teach their children responsibilities not as
a form of punishment but as tasks where skills can be honed
in a fun way.
In school, sometimes we tend to forget this. Instead of
fun, children feel pressure and stress. Stress destroys neural
connections, it hampers remembering hence learning becomes
difficult. It is not with difficulty to cull such issues. Sometimes the
teacher themselves are stressed, given the environmental and

Are We Ready For Federalism? (Part 2)

Types of Federalism
The federal form of government
could be combined with other
administrative
systems
such
presidential
and
parliamentary.
The United States, for instance,
has the presidential federal form
of government. Meanwhile, some
former British colonies such as
Canada, Australia, India and South
Africa have parliamentary federal
forms of government.
Distinguishing among the basic
types of federal forms of government
does not include its various
combinations with administrative and
executive functions. The basic types
of federalism can be distinguished
based on the way political authority
on certain aspects of governance
is divided between the central or
federal government and the regional
governments.
Under a federal system of
government, specific extent of
executive, legislative and judiciary
spheres of authority may either be
on a federal level or regional level
logistical considerations. Teacher-student
ratio is still very off from each other,
large population density of students in a
classroom. Three of 4 students sharing
the same book, and many other woes
we have encountered in the Philippine
educational setting. If it is stressing to the
teachers, then it is doubly stressing to the
child.
This culture of dysfunctional education
has to be quelled. For a long time, we
always try to model western concepts
and apply it to ours. Its not bad, but
perhaps we need to be original. The k-12
is a western idea we applied to our own.
We are still experimenting whether it will
really work, I hope it does. But my point
here is that as long as we put too much
emphasis on the amount of learning that
we must have in given period of time, we
choose quantity over quality, we opt for
how much was learned rather than what
was learned and what does it mean. In a
capitalist society that is how things work;
quantity over quality and school becomes
a factory that shapes individuals into
a machine according to the specs and
demands of the corporations that waits
for them. A job that is no fun.
Learning should be fun. When children
understand that to their very core, that the
rewards for learning is learning itself and
the fun they have while they are at that,
when they choose their career someday
they will look for something they enjoy
passionately and fits with their skillset
based on what they really love doing. That
way, they will never stop seeking to learn
and reinventing themselves because they
are having fun. So have fun while learning
and learn while you are having fun.

depending on the pre-defined or

agreed upon limitations. For instance,
foreign policies are generally the sole
province of the federal government.
The
regional
or
state-level
governments, on the other hand,
have the complete autonomy to enact
regional laws. The regional or statelevel governments also have the
direct power of taxation and the rights
to administer their own resources
without interference from the central
government.
Historically, there are six basic
and most common types of federal
systems based on the division
of political authority between the
central government and the regional
governments. There are other types of
federalism that could exist depending
on the interactions between the
central government and the regional
or state-level governments.
The six basic and most common
types of federalism are the following:
Dual Federalism Otherwise
known as the layer cake federalism,
this type of federalism has divided
the
fundamental
powers
of
government equally between the
central government and the state
governments. There are clear and
well-defined distinctions on the
spheres of authority. More often than
not, the overlapping of jurisdictions
and conflicts arise because there
are several aspects wherein both the
central government and the state or
regional governments could clash.
These include the issues of tax
collection and criminal law.
Cooperative
Federalism

Under this type of federalism,

there is mixture of jurisdictions and
cooperation on certain issues. With
the consent of the state government,
the central government could
implement national programs and
policies that are applicable to all
states to solve common problems.
This is particularly true when it comes
to economic issues. This shift was
seen during the Great Depression era

in the 1930s.
Creative Federalism In this
type of federalism, also known as
picket fence federalism, the statelevel governments are generally
bypassed by the central government
in issues of general welfare. Issues
could include policies on universal
healthcare, education standards
and social security system. The
central government could takeover the state-wide programs. The
central government determines
which programs are needed by the
states. In many ways, the powers of
the states are diminished.
New
Federalism
(Reagan
Model) Under this type of
federalism, much of the state
powers lost during the creative
federalism era were restored. The
states began to reassert their rights.
The federal government removed
the conditionality on federal
block grants, allowing the local
governments to have the autonomy
to decide on how to spend the funds
given by the federal government.
Judicial Federalism The
power of the federal Supreme
Court to decide on federal
constitutional
issues
makes
it the final arbiter on conflicts
between the federal government
and the state governments. The
division of powers between the
central government and the local
governments are constitutionally
interpreted and decided upon by
the highest court of the land.
Fiscal Federalism It is a type
of federalism where the central
government could assert its
dominance by providing financial
incentives to state governments
for certain policies. There is no
direct intervention or imposition
from the central government but
the policy decisions of the local or
state governments could heavily
be influenced. One example of this
is the special grants and financial
incentives given to state colleges
and universities in the United States
in the 1960s to encourage them
to stop racial segregation. Many
state laws prohibit mixed races
in public schools but the federal
incentives resulted to the eventual
capitulations of many state colleges
and universities to follow the federal
policy of desegregation.

stated that aside from being
an agriculturally-inclined institution, the University also
sits at the National Organic
Agriculture Board as academic representative and is
therefore delegated to promote related programs, one
of which is the integration
of Organic Agriculture in its
curriculum.
The Organic Agriculture Development Program
(OADP) is one of the banner programs of CBSUA to
promote the use on non-toxic
chemicals in growing veggies and other edible plants.
We believe that elimination
of such will translate to various health benefits. Today,
we have invited various government agencies and other
stakeholders to propagate the
great advantage that we can
derive out of organic farming, Bordado added.

Nadine Lustres Hot Summer Picks from Parisian

She soared On the Wings of Love to fame
as part of the Jadine love team, but on her
own, young actress and singer Nadine Lustre
has also become known for her great sense of
style. And shes never over-the-top in her fashion choices, but likes things stylish, sophisticated, and sensible. Just like the girls next door
she portrays.
As the brand ambassador for SMs iconic
Parisian brand, Nadine likes shoes that are
fun, flirty, and comfortable to keep up with my
active lifestyle. An affordable fashion advocate, she likes shoes that combine style and
comfort as well as value for money.
Nadines shoe shopping advice for summer
is to look for something that makes you feel
confident. And shes amazed at how Parisians
wide variety of shoes and bags will certainly
boost ones style quotient. Here are her hot
summer picks:
Parisian Shoes in bright colored heels
orange, teal, mustard, and magenta to sizzle up your look. Take your pick from strappy
heels, sling backs and pumps. Block heels will
also unlock fashion possibilities as they keep
you grounded. Flat espadrilles in nautical and
pastel shades will also keep your style shipshape this summer.
For Nadine, the three types of summer shoes
every one should own are ballet flats, sandals,
and a good pair of wedges. She particularly
liked the gladiator styles and animal print strappy heels in Parisians summer collection.
Parisian Bags with fun and functional
pieces for todays stylish young woman. There
are small bags that make a big style impact,
backpacks with edgy accents, as well as chic
shoulder bags and classic handbags.
The Parisian Shoes and Bags Summer Collection available at all SM Stores nationwide.

Calubaquib said all the
information they gather undergo a thorough validation
to ensure the veracity of the
report and avoid committing
mistakes in their future operations.
She cited as an example
the information campaign
done in the 3rd District of
Albay wherein while the police were giving orientation
on illegal drugs, a nine-yearold boy listening during the
lecture gave information on
an illegal drug pusher in the
community.
When the police validated the child's information, it
yielded positive result and
they were able to catch the
suspect in the village.
Even the FB social network of PRO5 called "Kasurog Bikol" has been
opened to the public, which
anybody can use as a venue
to give tips on illegal drugs.
Calubaquib said more
than 20 netizens have already given information
about their co-villagers using or pushing drugs, including a police officer.
She even praised those
who have been brave enough
to mention their identities
and cellphone numbers.
The PRO5 spokesperson
assured that the identities of
the informants will be kept
confidential to secure them.
