Davao City SAF deployment  explained

By J.Lo

“SAF units have long been deployed in Davao region and are distributed across various provinces… is not concentrated solely in Davao,” PNP chief publicist Col. Jean Fajardo  at  press briefing at Camp Crame denied that deployment of two PNP Special Action Force (SAF) battalions to Davao is political in nature and intended to help International Criminal Court (ICC) investigators.

Two SAF battalions were deployed on May 24 after 35 police officers in Davao City were relieved from their posts on the same day.

Among those relieved was Davao City police chief Col. Richard Bad-ang following  deaths of seven drug suspects in March.

Bad-ang’s relief was recommended pending investigation into drug-related killings in the city.

Davao Mayor Sebastian Duterte declared  all-out campaign against illegal drugs when he welcomed Bad-ang as city police chief in March.

PNP clarified  deployment of SAF personnel has nothing to do with  relief of  35 Davao police officers.

Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV on May 2 said ICC is expected to issue  arrest warrant for former president Rodrigo Duterte and others in June or July, in connection with his administration’s bloody war on drugs.

“Based on  information gathered,  warrant of arrest would come in batches… first batch is only for one, only Duterte, the father…  second batch is for the other principal actors, as far as I know,” he said.

Apart from Duterte and his daughter Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, other personalities reportedly investigated by ICC are his “tokhang” enforcer Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa and former aide Sen. Bong Go.

Last month, Trillanes alleged that two police generals in Mindanao were plotting to destabilize  government and oust President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

US congratulates Ph for ‘eloquently’ expressing SCS position

By Nidz Godino

“Harassment Philippines has faced is dangerous  pure and simple… we all share  interest in ensuring  South China Sea remains open and free,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III said  United States congratulated  Philippines for “eloquently laying out  Philippines’ position on South China Sea (SCS).”

Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. and Austin met on sidelines of  21st International Institute for Strategic Studies Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Saturday, to update each other on progress made by both countries since  recent SQUAD meeting in Hawaii.

“SQUAD” is  quadrilateral alliance among  US, Japan, Australia and  Philippines,  had  series of meetings in Hawaii with Austin last month.  Four  countries held marine military drills in April.

Austin opened discussion by congratulating President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for laying out  Philippines’ position on  SCS.

Teodoro responded by expressing his “appreciation to  US for supporting Marcos’ thesis  underscores  rights of small states.”

Austin reiterated the point he made during his talk on The New Convergence in  Indo-Pacific  on previous day.

 “We are beyond friends and allies, we are family…what affects you affects us,” he added.

Magdaraos ang batch 75 ng reunion at harinawang matalakay ang kapakanan ng paaralan. Sinariwa rin ni Carding na noong panahon niya ay hanggang grade 4 lamang ang klase rito na kapag grade 5 na ay sa Bocaue Central Scool na mag-aaral kaya hindi karamihan ang nakatatapos ng elementarya.   Komida  itong kapana-panabik na sorpresang handog ng embahada ng Pransya sa Pilipinas, magpapatikim sila ng pagkaing lutong Pranses sa lansangan ng Makati City. .

Guo’s mom can’t be traced in Ph– senator

By Nidz Godino

“That makes our call for  DNA test with the mother unlikely,”   senator, earlier dared Bamban Mayor Alice Guo to take  DNA test with Lin Wen to disprove allegations  she lied about having  Filipino househelp mother.

 Alleged  Chinese mother of  Guo can no longer be located in the country, according to Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian.

Latest information provided to Senate by  Bureau of Immigration is  Guo’s father Jian Zhong Guo and alleged mother Lin Wen Yi or “Winnie” have not yet returned from abroad, Gatchalian said.

The two could still be staying in China, their native country, he added.

 “Because they are Chinese citizens, they are free to go to China and never return here,” Gatchalian added of  parents, who travelled together at least 170 times in  span of six years.

Gatchalian said  alleged mother in Guo’s birth certificate, Amelia Leal Guo, may be fictitious because no such person exists in  records of  Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

That Guo applied for  birth certificate at age 19 exposed  gaps in  PSA’s late birth registration being abused by foreign nationals who pose as fake Filipinos, he said.

“Birth certificate is  basic document to get  passport or to buy land…and in this case, to run for public office, even when your birth certificate is defective and irregular,”  senator said.

Office of the Solicitor General has formed team to look into filing  quo warranto case against Guo for allegedly misdeclaring herself as Filipino when she ran for mayor.

Gatchalian said there is  need for  executive session in  next Senate hearing as  investigation goes deeper into  involvement of criminal syndicates.

He said  scheduled Wednesday hearing would be closed-door upon  request of law enforcement agencies going after personalities who are tangled in  web of criminality funded by dirty money in offshore gaming activities.

“Agencies requested  executive session because their investigations are still ongoing and some matters cannot be discussed in public as they go after those under investigation,” Gatchalian said.

“They only have preliminary findings, which also affect national security, and thus cannot be revealed to public for now…but  public can rest assured these will be discussed openly once  investigation is officially concluded,” he added.

Neophyte mayor Guo was linked to illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) activities in Tarlac because she applied for  local permits of POGO hub Hongsheng Gaming Technology before she entered politics.

After Hongsheng was raided in 2023, it was renamed Zun Yuan Technology,  subject of  latest raid in Bamban this March and located behind  town hall where Guo holds office.

Sprawling  10-hectare hub  raided for human trafficking, hacking and scams  was also located at Baofu Land Development compound,  Guo used to own.

Two of Guo’s incorporators in Baofu Zhang Ruijin and Lin Baoying  are involved in Singapore’s biggest money laundering case amounting to $3 billion.

CV continue opposing divorce bill

By Nidz Godino

SEN. CYNTHIA VILLAR
“They are not convincing me to do otherwise…and I won’t change my mind,” Sen. Cynthia Villar will not budge from her position against divorce even as her female colleagues in Senate are pushing for it.

Among  women in Congress’ upper chamber who are in favor of divorce are Senators Risa Hontiveros, Grace Poe, Pia Cayetano, Imee Marcos and Loren Legarda.

Sen. Nancy Binay has earlier expressed opposition to divorce.

One ground for divorce in  proposed measure is  violence inflicted on women and children in abusive relationships.

Pro-divorce women senators signed  committee report on proposed “Dissolution of Marriage Act” hurdled  Senate women, children, family relations and gender equality panel last year.

She joined  male group of conservative senators opposed to divorce: Senate President Francis Escudero, Senate Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada, former Senate president Juan Miguel Zubiri, Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino and Senators Joel Villanueva and Ronald Dela Rosa.

Other  senators are still thinking about their position.

Sen. JV Ejercito,  had said  open to divorce to give unhappy couples  second chance at love.

Ejercito and three other male senators Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel , Raffy Tulfo and Robinhood Padilla  have signed  divorce committee report, indicating their openness to tackle it at the plenary.

Villar based her opposition on her personal experience in having  good marriage with tycoon and former Senate president Manny Villar.

“You know, I have  very happy family life, and  happy marriage…so I never once thought of supporting divorce, I don’t want to comment on  opinion of others…we have our own lives and personal experiences…and my personal experience will make me not in favor of divorce,” she said.

For Villar, chance of  bill getting passed in Senate is slim.

House of Representatives recently approved its version of controversial measure, awaiting transmittal to  Senate for its consideration.

Philippines is  only country in the world that has yet to legalize divorce, right next to  Vatican,  city-state  seat of Catholicism.

Guo to take DNA test

By Nidz Godino

“I call on the two to have  DNA test to find out if they are related or not…she has nothing to lose,” Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian has dared Bamban Mayor Alice Guo to take  DNA test amid allegations that she lied about having  Filipino househelp as mother.

Gatchalian made  challenge after  Senate investigation on Guo’s alleged links to illegal offshore gaming activities bared more disturbing details about her family.

He said Guo’s family business corporate records showed Guo’s father Jian Zhong Guo, siblings Shiela and Seimen, and certain Lin Wen Yi, as incorporators. Lin Wen Yi is allegedly her Chinese mother with  Filipino name “Winnie.”

Gatchalian  has sources in Valenzuela, his family’s political turf, that  Guo family used to have  warehouse there and that people knew Lin Wen Yi or “Winnie” as the mother.

“Filipino name ‘Winnie’ is also not far from  name ‘Lin Wen Yi,’ and an English version of  Chinese name that is usually done in Chinese families,” Gatchalian said.

It is also customary for family-owned businesses to include  members of the family as their incorporators, he added.

Guo patriarch’s travel records with Lin Wen Yi  at least 170 times in  span of six years – also indicated that the two were more than just business partners, Gatchalian said.

There is also  13-year age gap between  two  Jian Zhong Guo was born in 1958, while Lin Wen Yi was born in 1971, Gatchalian said, citing incorporation records.

This meant that while  patriarch was of legal age, the mother was just 15 years old when she gave birth to Alice Guo, and 13 years old when she birthed eldest, Shiela.

But Gatchalian questioned  accuracy of  dates of their birth years because of  gaps already seen in their records, such as different dates of marriage with  alleged Filipino househelp mother.

Reacting to Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III’s observation that  focus of  Senate probe has shifted from possible criminality issue to sordid family drama, Gatchalian had merely expanded  probe to include possible money laundering activities in Guo’s businesses.

Gatchalian earlier alleged that Guo family’s companies could have been used for money laundering, as shown by their farm and embroidery business posting cash flow despite not making  income.

“We are not being sidetracked, because we need to see all  personalities involved…this is large-scale money laundering involving several people, led by  ‘enabler’ who opened  door for criminality to enter the country,” Gatchalian said.

Next  Senate hearing will be executive session because of authorities’ ongoing investigation on Guo’s alleged role in illegal offshore gaming activities.

DepEd defends K-12 award system

By  Creselda Canda-Lopez

“This kind of awards system really highly encourages our learners to strive… more inclusive because it is not limited to just  top 10 in the class,” Department of Education (DepEd) Assistant Secretary Francis Cesar Bringas said current awards and recognition system being implemented in elementary and high schools under  Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) basic education program eases  pressure of competition among learners and encourages them to focus on their own academic growth.

Bringas made  statement amid comments on social media criticizing  handing out of too many academic awards by most schools in graduation and moving-up ceremonies for  end of school year 2023-2024, despite Filipino students’ poor performance in  Program for International Student Assessment (PISA).

“PISA is using different parameters when it comes to determining scores of  countries…we are also using different parameters for  awards and recognition in schools based on  students’ achievements…so, we cannot compare  results of classroom performances of students with that of their performance in international large-scale assessments,” he said.

Based on 2022 PISA results announced by  Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in December last year, Filipino 15-year-old students were five to six years behind their foreign peers in learning competencies.

PISA results showed  Philippines was still in  bottom 10, specifically at 76th out of 81 countries in terms of reading comprehension, mathematics and science.

PISA, developed by OECD, measures 15-year-olds’ ability to use their reading, mathematics and science knowledge and skills to meet real-life challenges.

Philippines first participated in assessment in 2018  which it ranked last of  79 countries.

Current  awards and recognition system being implemented since  launch of  K-12 program in 2016, has effectively removed  “valedictorian,” “salutatorian” and “honorary mention” distinctions, usually given to just up to 10 students per class or batch.

Instead, under  current system, students with  average grade of 90 to 94 are automatically given “with honors” award, while those with average grade of 95 to 97 are recognized “with high honors.”

Students who obtained excellent average grade of 98 to 100, meanwhile, shall be conferred  “with highest honors” award.

“In the past when we have  valedictorian and salutatorian distinctions,  learners are competing with other learners, but with  new grading system, or awards system you are competing with yourself and if you meet grade standards then you will be recognized,” Bringas pointed out.

For Teachers Dignity Coalition (TDC),  current awards and recognition system needs to be reviewed to enable authorities to craft more uniformed or defined standards for grading students.

TDC national chairman Benjo Basas had experienced first-hand  varying standards of grading by some schools after handling several transferee students.

Basas said some transferee students were lagging behind in their learning competencies, but had good grades in their previous schools.

“Our teachers, and even our schools, usually give considerations, or ease their grading standards, for students who are diligent in their studies,” he said .

Basas also explained  grades do not solely come from scores in exams, but also from other output or performance that are subjective such as art projects, acting performances, sports performances and oral communication skills, among others.

School supplies allowance

By Creselda Cabda-Lopez

“This is proof that we could achieve victories through collective action alongside our genuine representatives inside  Congress,  ACT Teachers Party-list,  since 2011 have filed bill seeking for  increase of teaching supplies allowance for our public school teachers,” Alliance of Concerneed Teachers (ACT) chairman Vladimer Quetua in  separate statement,  Philippines  attributed  bill’s passage to  tireless efforts of teachers and progressive supporters.

“Teachers have long been spending their own money for school supplies…yearly, we take out  huge amount from our own pockets to fix classrooms… includes teaching aid costs that we use for  benefit of children.”

ACT likewise reiterated its call for salary increase, including  P50,000 entry-level pay for teachers, P33,000 salary for salary grade 1 employees, SG16 for Instructor 1 in state universities and colleges, and P33,000 national minimum wage for all workers.
