DIPOLOG CITY- The Bureau of Alternative Learning System of the Department of Education is all set to conduct this year’s accreditation and equivalency (A & E) Test in Dipolog City in December.
DIPOLOG CITY - More than 9,000 poor families from Zamboanga del Norte province were added as beneficiaries to the government's anti-poverty program - the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).


Ms. Catalina S. Barinaga, Dipolog City Schools Division ALS Supervisor said they have already received the advisory from DepEd Central Office for the conduct of the said test on December 16 this year.
Mr. Resty Ragas, 4Ps Provincial Grievance Officer said, 9,696 additional poor families in Zamboanga del Norte identified thru the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction survey were among the more than 40,000 families in the region to benefit the program.


The examination will be conducted in two separate venues.
The new batch of 4Ps beneficiaries, belonging to set 6 of the 4Ps beneficiaries were enrolled in the program after the registration and validation were conducted from September to November 2012.


The examination for the out-of-school youths (OSYs) will be held at the Zamboanga del Norte National High School (main campus) in Barangay Estaka, while the examination for the detainees of the Dipolog City Reformatory Center at Barangay Upper Dicayas, this city will be held inside the reformatory complex.
Under the Program, each family-beneficiary will receive a maximum of P1,400 monthly allowance for the health and educational needs of the children, until they reach 14 years old, provided they comply with the requirements set under the program.


A total of 758 qualified examinees, 683 out-of-school youths and 75 residents of the Dipolog City Reformatory Center, will be taking this year’s A & E test.
Each studying child is expected to spend 85% of their time in school and should not incur three absences from classes in a month while those ages below 5 years must be regularly brought to the health center for medical check-up and the needed immunization.


Meanwhile, 580 OSY and 56 detainees will take the Secondary level while 103 OSY and 19 detainees will also take the elementary level.
Meanwhile, Ragas reminded the beneficiaries of their responsibilities under the program, like their attendance and participation in the monthly Family Development Session regularly called by their designated parent-leader.


Successful examinees in the elementary level are eligible to enroll in high school in the opening of classes of the succeeding school year. On the other hand, those who will pass the secondary level will be eligible to enroll in college.
Ragas also warned parent-leaders to refrain from calling for a meeting among parents other than what is mandated under the program. He urged them to closely coordinate with their Municipal or City Links before holding any meeting.


The Accreditation and Equivalency Test, originally scheduled last October 7 was postponed twice for administrative reasons.
He issued this warning after receiving report that some parent-leaders are holding a meeting not for Family Development Session but to discuss election-related issues, particularly on the candidate to be voted this coming 2013 election.
 
Ragas also cautioned the 4Ps aspirants not to be fooled by the promises of some local politicians of their assured membership to the program once they will vote for a particular candidate this coming election.
 
The Provincial Grievance Officer clarified that the transfer of voting precincts won’t affect the membership of the 4Ps beneficiaries as long as proper coordination is made to the Municipal or City Links regarding the transfer of residency.
 
Ragas stressed that the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is an anti-poverty alleviation program of the national government and its would-be beneficiaries are determined only through the NHTS survey conducted the DSWD and not by any politician.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

The Province of Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines

About Zamboanga del Norte Province, Philippines

Zamboanga del Norte is subdivided into 25 municipalities and 2 cities. These are further subdivided into 691 barangays, and clustered into 3 congressional districts..

Dubbed as the “Twin-City Province,” Zamboanga del Norte has been made famous by the beauty and charm of the Orchid City of Dipolog and the historical, rustic quaintness of the Shrine City of Dapitan.

Decrying Spanish authority over his beloved country, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, Philippine National Hero, lived in exile in faraway Dapitan City, then only a sleepy town in Mindanao. Here, he spent fruitfully his last four years in exile, from 1892 to 1896, to practice medicine, pursue scientific studies, keep with his artistic and literary endeavors, and widen his knowledge of languages. In Dapitan, Dr. Rizal found a school and a hospital, and became a farmer to prove to the people that farming is as good a profession as medicine.

The original estate of Dr. Rizal in Dapitan has been declared a national shrine and is being administered by the National Historical Institute. Hence, the city monicker, “Shrine City of the Philippines.” By the year 2020, Dapitan is poised to become the Dr. Jose Rizal Heritage Center of the Philippines, owing to the wealth of Rizal memorabilia and memorable places associated with the country’s beloved hero.

Zamboanga del Norte today is equally famous for Dakak Beach, the province’s foremost natural attraction. The very popular Dakak Beach is most known for its beautfiully shaped cove and powdery white sand, and as a diving mecca in Mindanao. Pristine blue waters, excellent dive sites with an abundance of coral reefs, and a magnificent sunset horizon characterize this tropical eden. Dakak Park and Beach Resort boasts 15 hectares of wooded land, a natural reservoir for native plants and animals, and a 750-meter private white-sand beach.

The southern part of Zamboanga del Norte is basically deprived from economical development. It does not benefit from the economy of the 6th largest city in the Philippines (Zamboanga City). The barangay of zamboanga city that borders zamboanga del norte is Limpapa. The municipality of zamboanga del norte that borders zamboanga city is Sibuco.

Only dirt road connects Zamboanga City to Sibuco and yet the town of Sibuco thrives as 1st Class municipality. As of August of 2012, Commercial vehicles and standard vehicles can't cross over to Zamboanga City via Limpapa. So instead of travelling only less than 40 kilometers to trade in the bustling barangays of zamboanga city, Merchants of Sibuco have to travel ove 300 kilometers via highway or travel by sea. Instead of just a hour or two of travelling time, Merchants have to put up with one (1) day of travel just to trade.

The congressman for this 3rd district is Cesar G. Jalosjos.

Location of Zamboanga del Norte Province, Philippines

Zamboanga del Norte is situated in Northern Mindanao in the Zamboanga peninsula. It is bounded on the north and west by the Sulu Sea, on the east by Misamis Occidental, and on the south/west by Zamboanga City and the south/east by Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay. It is part of Region IX in the island of mindanao.

History of Zamboanga del Norte Province, Philippines

When the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines in the 16th century, Zamboanga was already populated by Muslims, along the coast and rivers, by Visayans, in Dapitan, and by the Subanuns in the interior. Dapitan, one of the earliest towns visited by the Spaniards, was believed to have been established by refugees from Bohol fleeing the destruction of their settlement by Moluccans.

Jesuit missionaries started their missions in 1629, in Dapitan but progress was hindered by continuous warfare between the Spaniards and the Moros. For much of the Spanish period, Zamboanga del Norte was administered as part of two provinces. Dapitan was made part of the corregimiento of Misamis, while the western part was part of the corregimiento of Zamboanga. In the 19th century, when Misamis became a province, Dapitan formed one of its partidos or divisions. In 1837, the corregimiento of Zamboanga became a military government. In 1843, the Spaniards gained title to the area between Zamboanga and Dapitan through a cession by the Sultan of Maguindanao. Beginning in the later half of the 19th century, many Visayans settled in

Zamboanga due to population pressure in Cebu and Bohol. Many petty criminals and political dissidents were likewise sent to settle in the sparsely populated Zamboanga coast. Dapitan is most famous as the place of exile of Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. For more than three years, he lived in the town, before he was executed for allegedly instigating the Philippine Revolution. His house still stands and is now a museum.

In 1914, when the Americans established the Department of Mindanao and Sulu, Zamboanga was made one of its regular provinces. Zamboanga province was divided into two in September 1952 by virtue of Republic Act No. 711. The town of Dipolog became the capital of the province of Zamboanga del Norte.

People of Zamboanga del Norte Province, Philippines

The main dialect is Cebuano/Visayan. English and Filipino (Tagalog) are also spoken, indicative of a high level of literacy. The original and native Subanen dialect lives on, especially in the highlands.

At present, Zamboanga del Norte is populated largely by Dipolognons and Dapitanons, said to be the descendants of migrants from the province of Bohol, who were attacked in 1563 by Ternate raiders, and forced to resettle elsewhere. Thus the principal dialect of the province is Cebuano, but with a Boholano accent.

Zamboanga del Norte is also the home of the Subanun, or 'people of the upstream' (also Subanen, Suban-on). They are upland and swidden cultivators, who prefer to build their houses on top of ridges near potable water sources near their fields. They prefer to locations near springs rather than streams. Through the years, land problems and degraded environment have forced some of the people to adopt wet rice agriculture. Metal craft and weaving are also practiced. The Subanons have maintained trade with coastal peoples through the centuries. Present day Subanons are non-aggressive, although there are indications that in the past the people were required to provide a "soul companion" for an important deceased relative. ‘Buklog’ is a Subanon set of unique rituals that utilizes a huge dancing platform to which a log is attached that hits a hollowed sounding board on the ground.

Sinulog and Kinabayo are celebrated every July 24-25 in Dapitan City in honor of the city’s patron, Saint James. The Sinulog is a dance procession and Kinabayo is an exotic and colorful pageant re-enacting the Spanish-Moorish wars, particularly the Battle of Covadonga. In that battle the Spanish forces under General Pelagio took their last stand against the Saracens. They were able to reverse the tide of the war with the miraculous apparition of Saint James, the Apostle. The addition of local color and innovations has made this annual festivity a popular attraction to visitors of Dapitan.

The shrine to Dapitan’s most famous sojourner, national hero Jose Rizal, still stands and gives testimony to Rizal’s exile in the town in the late 19th century. His house and part of the innovations he instituted in his small estate still stand and draw hundreds of tourists.

Protect the environment

It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.

Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!

Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.

The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.

To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.

Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More

We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.

This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

Each studying child is expected to spend 85% of their time in school and should not incur three absences from classes in a month while those ages below 5 years must be regularly brought to the health center for medical check-up and the needed immunization.

Meanwhile, Ragas reminded the beneficiaries of their responsibilities under the program, like their attendance and participation in the monthly Family Development Session regularly called by their designated parent-leader.

Ragas also warned parent-leaders to refrain from calling for a meeting among parents other than what is mandated under the program. He urged them to closely coordinate with their Municipal or City Links before holding any meeting.

He issued this warning after receiving report that some parent-leaders are holding a meeting not for Family Development Session but to discuss election-related issues, particularly on the candidate to be voted this coming 2013 election.

Ragas also cautioned the 4Ps aspirants not to be fooled by the promises of some local politicians of their assured membership to the program once they will vote for a particular candidate this coming election.

The Provincial Grievance Officer clarified that the transfer of voting precincts won’t affect the membership of the 4Ps beneficiaries as long as proper coordination is made to the Municipal or City Links regarding the transfer of residency.

Ragas stressed that the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is an anti-poverty alleviation program of the national government and its would-be beneficiaries are determined only through the NHTS survey conducted the DSWD and not by any politician.
