Aviation experts bare
‘twin airport’ concept
By Charlene A. Cayabyab
CLARK FREEPORT--Aviation
experts said Clark International
Airport (CIA) need not compete
with the country’s premier airport
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) but complement its
operation instead.
Captain Benjamin Solis, adviser to the Clark International
Airport Corporation, introduced
the “Twin Airport” concept during
the first Clark Aviation Conference
here on Thursday.
The “Twin Airport” concept, according to Solis, will not replace
NAIA but will play as “twin” to
CIA.
“NAIA should not be replaced.
It can serve as a southern gateway
to the greater capital region. A
twin to CIA,” Solis said.
While NAIA serves the south,
Solis said CIA should serve the
north.
“Clark can serve the role of rationalizing NAIA’s capacity challengers by providing the airlines
the opportunity of a second gateway in Luzon,” Solis.

BALANGA CITY--Reynan Calderon, Bataan Second District congressional candidate of the Makabayan Party,
said he is continuously doing consultations with the people of Bataan.
He added that, in fact, he has been
doing rounds among the people of the

Phillip Ramos, political leader of
Calderon, said the latter even goes to
remote sitios to talk and consult with
common people.
He narrated that people in farflung areas are very delighted to talk
up-close to a congressional candidate,
who does not come from a political
clan.
Ramos said Makabayan has already built political networks and set
of leaders in the six towns of the Second District to support the candidacy
of Calderon.
The Makabayan bet is from Balanga City.
Calderon, who has been very quiet
in his activities, assured he will not
drop from the congressional race. He
said he is running to pursue people’s

Before releasing shares from quarry
Bizman urges Capitol: Ask

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO--A
businessman here suggested that prior
to the release of the quarry revenue
shares of the barangays by the provincial Capitol, there should be a resolution from the respective villages stating where the funds are intended for.
Businessman Rene Romero, vice
chairman of the Pampanga Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, has appealed
for transparency from the village leaders “as most of the barangay shares become misappropriated funds.”
“There should be a resolution stating where their quarry shares will be

spent. This will ensure transparency,”
he said.
“We don’t want to see the revenues
from quarry go to waste when they
reach the barangays,” he added.
Earlier, Romero also appealed to the
provincial government, specifically the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan, to expedite the passage of the proposed computerization and institutionalization of
the quarry system.
Romero signified the business
group’s support to the Capitol’s plan to
computerize and institutionalize quarry operations, in order to eradicate human errors in the industry.

Ebdane slams accusation linking
him to Pangasinan mayor slay
By Butch Gunio
IBA, Zambales--Gov. Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. derided detractors
for coming up with another “bad
script” to weigh him down and discredit his administration in time for
the coming May elections.
Reacting to news reports alleging
that a murder of a Pangasinan mayor
was hatched by the principal suspects
at the capitol building here, the governor said the said scenario was “simply
ridiculous as to be a product of hallucination.”
“Every murder, whoever may be
the victim or the suspect, is always
a reprehensible act. But this report
about my supposed involvement is
only pathetically laughable. This is a
very, very bad script,” Ebdane said.
Ebdane’s name is apparently being dragged into the case after the
National Bureau of Investigation filed
murder charges on Tuesday against
Pangasinan Gov. Amado Espino Jr.
and First District Congressman Jesus Celeste for the killing of Infanta
town Mayor Ruperto Martinez, who
was gunned down last December 15.
The NBI based their case on the
testimony of a 16-year-old witness,
the son of another respondent, who
claimed he was present at a meeting
in the Zambales capitol where the
murder was discussed.
Reports said the NBI subsequently
dropped Ebdane from the case “for
insufficiency of evidence linking him
to Martinez’ killing.”
Ebdane said this can only be the
handiwork of his detractors who are
moving heaven and earth to ease him
out. “But I don’t think they would succeed,” he added.
Atty. Ianela Jusi-Barrantes, Ebdane’s legal counsel, meanwhile reminded Ebdane’s detractors and the
witness in the Espino case that untruthful accusations made under oath

Venus Manalang, public relations officer of SM City Clark (SMCC), said the
event also offered activities like balloon
twisting, face painting, ultralight and
shopper flying to the special children.
The children also had unlimited candies, popcorn and ice cream.
In return, a drum and lyre group of
children with hearing impairment and
intellectual disability had some performances.
Among the partners of SM Cares
and Canon Philippines for the event were
PWD (Photography with a Difference),
Angeles City Flying Club, the Department of Tourism, SM Program on Disability Affair, and Canon A-Team.
Some of the sponsors include
Creamline, Pizzahut, Xtremely Xpresso
and Copy Fax among others.

C. Luzon disaster
preparedness efforts
strengthened
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO--Various
concerned government agencies in Central Luzon are intensifying their efforts
to reduce the disastrous effects of natural hazards in the region.
The Office of Civil Defense-3, in collaboration with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG),
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Health,
Bureau of Fire Protection, Philippine
National Police and other agencies have
started the formulation of Regional Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan
aimed at enhancing disaster preparedness and response capabilities at all levels.
The OCD has presented a timeframe
in the formulation of the RDRRM Plan
which will be pilot tested in Central Luzon.
The timeframe was crafted by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) with the
help of consultants from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
During their recent meeting presided
by DILG regional director Florida M.
Dijan, each government agency has presented their initiatives relative disaster
preparedness.
“People already know the disastrous
effects of calamities because of their
own experiences in the past in which
many lives and properties were lost due
to unpreparedness in times of typhoons.
We, on the part of the government agencies, have joined together to mitigate the
effects of disasters,” Dijan said.
The DILG has presented the criteria
and the implementing guidelines of the
department’s Seal of Disaster Preparedness (SDP) which was initially administered to local government units (LGUs)
along the Pampanga River Basin.
The SDP is an award being given to
any LGUs which showed exemplary practices of disaster preparedness and disaster preparedness response before and
during calamities.
Dijan said the objectives for awarding the seal are to recognize and reward
local government performance in institutionalizing disaster preparedness and
to assess performance gaps, link gaps to
policy or program intervention and monitor improvement on disaster preparedness. ● (PNA)

Running out of time
The family of Kapampangan overseas
Filipino worker (OFW) Joselito Zapanta and
government institutions are racing against
time to snatch him from the guillotine in
Saudi Arabia where he was condemned to
die for killing a Sudanese.
The 3-month reprieve given by the Saudi
government for Zapanta’s family is almost
over and we doubt if his relatives were able
to raise even half of the P44 million blood
money to save the OFW from death.
Vice President Jejomar Binay has reiterated the call to the Filipino people to help
raise the blood money in due time to spare
the life of a man who not only failed to land
a gainful employment abroad but even lost
a future for him and his family in the Philippines.
The national government was able to
save another OFW from the death row recently when the Saudi government lowered
the blood money they asked the family to
pay. The remaining amount was paid and
the Filipino’s life was spared.
We hope that the same thing would happen for Zapanta. The blood money is very
exhorbitant that the family would not know
how in the world they can raise it.
Maybe, if all the Filipinos would donate
50 centavos each, the amount will be defrayed. The problem is, will there be enough
time to knock on the doors of every Filipino
and get their 50-centavo donation?
Can the telcos now join the effort to raise
the amount via text promos instead of the
usual gimmick they initiate to rob their subscribers of some centavos off their load?
Can the politicians now show a little mercy and use the money they spend in buying
votes to buy the freedom of the OFW from
death?

Big mouth 3: Blueboy exclusively for Angeleños?
Pampanga First District congressional
candidate Francis “Blueboy” Nepomuceno is
courting trouble with the giant billboards he
erected around Angeles City in preparation for
the May 13 bout against another aspirant, Vice
Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao.
No, I am not referring to possible trouble
with the Commission on Elections with regards
to premature campaigning or violation to billboard size limits but more on the implications
of the words written on the gigantic tarpaulins.
Going down the Abacan Bridge, right in
front of the Robinsons Place Angeles in Barangay Balibago, is this clarion call for Angeleños
to support one of their own, who is running for
congressman in a district that covers the cities of Angeles and Mabalacat, and the town of
Magalang.
I cannot recall the exact words on the billboard but it seems that Nepomuceno, who had
been a congressman of the district before, is
banking on parochial support to gain the upper
hand in the election come May.
Nepomuceno’s idea to set a parochial attitude among Angeleños would be a good one if
the city holds the majority of voters in the whole
district, meaning the total number of Angeles
City voters is larger than the combined voting
population of Mabalacat and Magalang.
Nepomuceno is, no doubt, a real Angeleno.
His relatives--his parents in particular--are
among the illustrious sons and daughters of Angeles who made the place into what it is today.
However, he is no longer running for a position
that requires the votes of Angeles City alone.
By posting those billboards, Nepomuceno
is pinching the sensitivity of voters from Mabalacat and Magalang, who might think they
will be left out if Nepomuceno, the “exclusive”
Angeleno, made it in Congress.
The last time I checked, combined voters from Mabalacat and Magalang, which is
Guiao’s hometown, command the polls in the
district with 154,739 registered. It was said that
incumbent Rep. Tarzan Lazatin, who is another
genuine Angeleno, capitalized on the votes outside Angeles City, which only registered some
148,569 voters in 2010, to corner the House
seat, just like in the past elections when he
fought Nepomuceno’s son, Jepoy, in the congressional race and won.
The numbers might have shifted a little this
year because of the recent registration of new
voters but the two localities still are about half of
the district’s total voting population.
If the two other places would take Nepomuceno’s slogan as a challenge, Guiao’s candidacy
would surely benefit. The professional basketball coach will have gained not just a rallying
point against Nepomuceno but the support of
two localities by default.
It was as if Nepomuceno served, or junked,
the voters of Magalang and Mabalacat to Guiao’s
favor and the latter had not spent a single cent
on billboards yet.
In politics, there are candidates who win
people once they opened their mouths; there are

Weaponizing an academic community
(2nd Part)
Towards
the Light
ABEL SOTO
“ Traditional
methods
of teacher
evaluation
rarely helped
to make a
link between
professional
growth and
student learning needs.”
On January 22, 2013, I wrote an article that bore the same title as this article of
mine today. I discussed in that article the
different factors that weaponize an academic community in its battle against “cathartic
illnesses of mediocrity and intellectual stagnation,” which should always be a constant,
continual, and concerted effort of any academic institution.
In that article, I focused on discussing
the importance of research and instructional
supervision as “academic canons that ‘weaponize’ an academic institution,” and thus
“to add and to strengthening its arsenal of
knowledge economy and educational competencies.” This article of mine today, which is
part of a paper I am presently writing, is the
second part of the January 22 article. It focuses on the discussion of the importance of
instructional supervision in weaponizing an
academic community to be better equipped
with the most important academic canon
that is, again, called INSTRUCTIONAL SUPERVISION.
***
Teacher supervision systems that have
been in place previously were based on the

business horizon?
These systems have been complicated and
unhelpful for teachers who are trying to improve their professional practice (Danielson
& McGeal, 2000). Traditional methods of
instructional supervision focused on feedback from a supervisor that set as priority the
qualities of the classroom environment more
than on improving teaching and learning
(Aseltine et al., 2006). In fact, Duffy (2000)
stated there was no evidence when instructional supervision was used that it was effective for improving instruction. The research
field of supervision has voiced dissatisfaction
with traditional models of supervision and a
need for new approaches that enhance teachCALL US:

much weight. Secondly, Marshall pointed out

Fernando, Pampanga
that lessons which principals observed were
not typical lessons conducted by the teacher.
The observation of isolated lessons gave an
incomplete picture of instruction. Fourth,
teacher isolation was reinforced by supervision practices. Finally, most principals were
too busy to do a good job on supervision.
Traditional clinical supervision has contributed to the growth in professional knowledge of teacher’s instructional skills. However as Aseltine et al. (2006) indicated, these
models were more of compliance rather than
building instructional capacity. The need for
an alternative model to the traditional approach is a result of several factors, including
the following:
Shift in education from the focus of teach-

ing to learning.
An increasing expectation of accountability.
Education literature and professional
development initiatives are focusing on databased decision making.
Traditional models focus on the process
of teachers’ work rather than its outcome.
Traditional emphasis on instructional
processes delimits teachers’ professional
growth.
Traditional models may not link instruction and student learning or provide for differentiated instructional contexts.
Traditional methods of teacher evaluation rarely helped to make a link between professional growth and student learning needs.
Teacher perceptions of clinical or traditional methods of supervision have been one
of resentfulness and caution (Gullatt, & Ballard, 2008; Townsend, 2007). When there is
a perceived discrepancy between the stated
purposes and emerging practices, teachers
are less inclined to make a full commitment to
the process (Townsend, 2007). In fact, teachers tend to believe that a traditional supervisor in their classroom indicates they are being
evaluated, rather than being offered support
(Roberts & Pruitt, 2003). Supervision has
often been a one-size-fits-all approach. And
worse, there are still some school administrators and concerned academic leaders that do
not do this very significant job of instructional supervision, which is a mandate of their offices and respective academic positions and
functions.
Four variables affect the classroom performance of teachers (Glatthorn, 2007).
Organizational factors, instructional supports, student factors, and teacher factors all
impact on the professional performance of a
teacher. A strong supervision process should
take into consideration the four variables.
There is acknowledgment in the area of supervision that a contextual shift in supervisory policy is occurring. Education is moving
from a system-level management and supervision of teachers to school-site management
and empowerment of learners (Renihan,
2004). Rather than abolish supervision altogether, efforts need to be made at identifying
the flaws of current supervision practices and
address them (Alfonso, 2007).
According to Wanzare and da Costa
(2000), the literature indicates four key strategies for enhancing the professional growth
of teachers through instructional supervision. First, there is administrative support
for ongoing staff development supported by
modeling, coaching and collaborative problem solving. Second, teachers need to engage,
individually and collaboratively, in the concrete tasks of teaching, observation, assessment, experimentation and reflection. Third,
supervisors should match appropriate supervisory approaches to teachers’ developmental

A prayer crusade for enlightenment
It is with a sense of urgency that I sat down to write
this piece. In three days’ time, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI will leave his seat at the Vatican as the Vicar
of Christ and leader of millions of Catholics all over the
world. Taking that I read matters right, this means that in
three days’ time, the Vatican will be leaderless save for a
group of cardinals who will need to meet and vote on who
is going to be the next Pope.
Whoever they choose will expectedly guide the faithful and determine
the path that the Church will take
through these highly troubled times
towards God’s Kingdom. It is but
right that every person who believes
in Christ now pray for guidance and
discernment for the Pope and the cardinals. May others join me in prayer as
a crusade for enlightenment.
Almighty Father, we are in a time
of crisis as we await the selection of
Your Son’s Vicar. Let Your light shine forth so that we will
always see the truth despite the darkness of evil prevail-
ing in our world today. Guide
the hearts and minds of our cardinals in their need to discern
Your Holy Will so that in carrying it out, they will unerringly
choose one who will remain
steadfast and faithful to Your
Son’s teachings and
so shepherd us all
towards the Kingdom that Your Son By A Pilgrim
has promised.
Bless
Pope
Benedict XVI, Your loyal servant. May we
value the lessons he taught and use them as
beacons while on pilgrimage here on earth.
Guard him against all of Satan’s works and
bless him with strength, perseverance and
courage in the life of prayer that he will soon
lead.
Bless us all, Heavenly Father, and grant us this prayer
that we make in Jesus’ name. Amen. •
“It is but right that
every person who
believes in Christ now
pray for guidance
and discernment
for the Pope and the
cardinals.”

Footbridges
Last Tuesday, while I was traversing the
Jose Abad Santos Avenue (JASA) near the Dolores
Intersection, City of San Fernando, Pampanga, I
nearly sideswiped a pedestrian who crossed in great
haste the multi-lane road exactly beneath the newly
inaugurated footbridge.
***
The P12-million footbridge
was
inaugurated
and
opened to the public only
last February 4 of this year
with no other than officials
of the Department of Public Works and Highways
(DPWH) leading the opening with city mayor Oscar
Rodriguez. It aims to provide a safe way for pedestrians crossing the thoroughfare that is considered one
of the major road arteries of
the province and the city.
***
What is ironic is the fact
that the careless pedestrian
crossed just beneath the
newly-constructed overpass
and courting danger. Probably, he failed to note that the
structure was made for his
safety against any accident
he might encounter while
crossing the street.

The footbridge was a joint project of the DPWH
and the city. According to Regional Director Antonio Molano, Jr., the same is the only one of its kind
and has one of the best designs in the country. He
added that it is structurally durable and well-made
since high-grade quality materials were used in the
modern-design structure.

N. Korea readies mobile Net
service, but not for residents
Just one month after North
Korea relaxed restrictions on tourists’ cell phone use, the country will
soon allow foreigners to access the
Internet via mobile devices.
3G service will be
operat iona l
within the
c ou nt r y ’s
borders by
March 1, but
North Koreans won’t
have access
to the mobile
Internet, according to the
A ssociated
Press. Koryolink, a 3G mobile provider partially owned by the North
Korean government, on Friday began informing foreigners living in
Pyongyang that they will soon be
able to subscribe to monthly data
plans.
The move comes a few weeks
after North Korea announced it
would allow foreign visitors to use
cell phones within the country, easing strict rules that long required
visitors to leave their handsets at
the border or
airport when
entering
to
the country.
Foreigners
can now to
bring
their
own
WCDMA-compatible phones or
rent a mobile
and buy a local SIM card
at the airport.
Residents
will have access to certain voice
and text services on the 3G network, but not the mobile Internet,
the AP reported.
Following a controversial private visit to the country last month,
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt
noted that it would be “very easy “
for Koryolink to offer 3G services:
There is a 3G network that is
a joint venture with an Egyptian
company called Orascom. It is a
2100 Megahertz SMS-based technology network, that does not, for
example, allow users to have a data
connection and use smart phones.
It would be very easy for them to
turn the Internet on for this 3G network. Estimates are that are about
a million and a half phones in the
DPRK with some growth planned
in the near future.
Schmidt wrapped up his visit
by warning North Korean officials
that global Internet access was key
to developing its economy.
“As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to
be virtually isolated is very much
going to affect their view of the
world,” he told reporters upon his
return to Beijing. Lack of such access would “make it harder for them
to catch up economically. We made
that alternative very, very clear,” he
added.--cnet

Under Ordinance No. 577, which
was approved on third reading last
week, provincial hospital Diosdado P.
Macapagal Memorial Hospital (DPMMH) and all district hospitals in
the entire province will be directed to
provide free vaccination or immuno-
prophylaxis and medical treatment.
Accordingly, the said ordinance
will take effect as soon as Governor
Lilia Pineda signs it in order to save
patients from the life-threatening disease.
Since Pineda assumed office in
2010, one of her thrusts has been to
protect and promote the health of the

vaccination to patients infected with
rabies due to animal bites are being
conducted regularly.
Today, the province has nine district hospitals and one provincial hospital. ●
cept, CIA Adviser Solis also bared some
recommendations for NAIA and CIA.
For NAIA, he said it should not be
operated beyond its capacity limits
and that improvements there should
be on the enhancement of its facilities
rather than the expansion of its infrastructure.
For CIA, Solis said a budget terminal should be constructed to service
LCCs and provide for their expansion
in the next 10 years.
Also, he said the concentration of
LCCs in Clark and their eventual expansion in network size will create a
market forecasted to reach an output
of 15 million passengers in 10 years
time.
Solis added that under the land use
of plan, a full service gateway terminal with a capacity of up to 80 million
passengers can be put to Clark, supported by two more parallel runways.
Recently, Emirates Airline announced its newest flight to Dubai
from CIA starting October 1, 2013.
Some of the LCCs in ClA are AirAsia
Philippines, Zest Air, AirAsia Berhad
Malaysia, Cebu Pacific Airlines, AirPhil
Express, Seair-Tiger Airlines and JinAir.
Meanwhile, long haul carriers include Dragon Air and Asiana Airlines.
CIAC President and Chief Executive Officer Victor Jose Luciano has
been working for the airport’s expansion for years now. ●
TWIN AIRPORT from Page 1
present, Solis said the airport should
be expanded to be a major hub and
gateway for these LCCs.
Solis’ “Twin Airport” concept was
backed by University of Asia and the
Pacific Professor Bernardo Villegas.
“Clark is the perfect location for a
second gateway in the country. The
government should stop talks of Cavite,
Bulacan and others. They have no
runways to talk about,” Villegas said.
Villegas, also a consultant on management development and strategic
planning, added that Japanese, Chinese and Korean investors prefer to
put their businesses in Central Luzon
since Metro Manila is congested.

Mga matronang
kabit ng tomboy
Marami sila sa showbiz, pero dalawa lang muna
ang idedetalye namin tungkol sa mga matronang
kumakabit sa tomboy.
Pero teka, did you hear about a former beauty queen of the early ‘60s na ngayon ay mahigit
nang 70 years old, ay isang tomboy? Yes, naging
kabit niya ang isang aged actress na isa siya sa
mga tumulong para makabangon ang noon
ay nalugmok nang aktres dahil sa drug addiction. De kalibre na ang aktres ngayon na
maraming award kahit matanda na siya, Yes,
sa edad niya, kabit pa siya ng gurang na
tomboy hanggang sa ngayon.
But this is not our story. Ito ay tungkol
sa dalawang matronang kumabit pa sa tomboy sa kabila ng kanilang

siya ng mayaman pero ang tanong ay kung bakit kumakabit pa rin
siya sa mga DOM at mga tomboy. Aktibo pa rin siya sa showbiz and
still looks very lovely. O ayan, may clue na.
The second tomboy is a kabit of a politician na tomboy na galing sa
isang political dynasty sa Luzon. Noong kanyang kapanahunan, class
A model siya, nakapag-asawa rin ng mayaman pero kumabit sa tomboy at balita namin hanggang ngayon, kahit open na yung relasyon
niya sa isang aktor na dating dyowa ng isang mala-pagong na aktresa,
ay kabit pa rin ng tomboy. In fact, naka-base na siya sa probinsiya ng
tomboy sa ngayon.
Kilala n’yo siya? ●

( Cinema schedules are subject to change without prior notice.)
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN 21)
Your mind feels like it is on a racetrack today. Activities are fast moving. Today is a great day for
anything nontechnical. If you need to meet a schedule or organize a party, this is the day for you;
perhaps you will be teaching a new exercise or dance routine. You are on your feet and ready for
whatever may come today. If it seems that things are moving too fast, step back for a bit. If you do not
allow yourself a break from time to time, your talents could be of little value. Working with partners in
an open, natural, creative environment brings good fortune. You will get many things accomplished.
While you are with friends and family this evening, you could use your motivation constructively by
encouraging someone else to take the lead.
CANCER (JUN 22- JUL 22)
You need a career that is mentally stimulating and allows you to express your creative side. Now
would be a good time to review and update your resume and give some thought to a job change or
upgrade. This afternoon you are likely to reach out or attract a loved one. Try not to put undue strain
on any personal relationship at this time. Avoid being extravagant. You have a passion that manifests
itself in art. You show a great deal of interest in all family matters, particularly concerning the general
living environment in the home. Further, you may wish to strengthen ties with the older generation by
offering to run errands or by bringing them easy-to-heat food. You are on an even keel, content and
focused to move forward. Also . . . this is a good time for travel.
LEO (JUL 23 - AUG. 23)
Now you can concentrate on practical matters. Your optimism is helpful in teaching yourself to grasp
the big, grandiose picture; study. Do not forget, however, that the whole is made up of many parts.
Each part must be considered and none can be missing or out of place. This is a good day for longrange planning. However, as usual, flexibility will keep things moving. Exercise caution and care in
business dealings for this day. Consider the physical and the financial realm regarding business, so
as to not get in over your head. Community activities at this time should be both well-attended and
successful. The power of attraction and desire for love is great and you are wise to exercise caution
before entering a new relationship that may come.
LIBRA (SEP. 23 - OCT. 23)
This is definitely a day to get many things done, especially if you are the leader. You tend to attract
the people whose energy matches your own. Insight and clarity are successful leadership qualities in
your favor. You are able to handle most any situation. If you are full of passion and enthusiasm by the
end of the day you may want to become involved in an exercise program. It will help you to work off
some of that excessive energy. You may find yourself working hard to make time for your family this
week. This is a period of optimism and accomplishments. New projects get the green flag! You are
coming into a period of greater than usual emphasis on emotional security, which is likely to manifest
as settling down. Is it time to buy real estate?
SCORPIO (OCT. 24- NOV. 21)
You are happy to be with others and to work in groups today. You may be asked to complete a certain
task or job. Your management and directional abilities are in high focus. It is important to stay focused
and discourage co-workers from chatty, on-the-job interactions. You want to accomplish your work and
be recognized for the quality of work that you provide. You encourage work breaks and you try to maintain the effort to enjoy visiting with co-workers during the break times. You truly desire fun and should
not hesitate to get to know new people and form new acquaintances. Also, love is in full bloom and it is a
good time to fully demonstrate the depth of affections to loved ones. There is a good balance in your life.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21)
This is a great day to sign contracts, conclude business deals or make plans. Your sharp mind will
see all aspects from all angles. Any high-level mental pursuits should be rewarding and stimulating.
Welcome all new ideas! There are new concepts that you are aware of and may find yourself talking
about with co-workers. It is an excellent time to solicit the help of others, though it’s important that you
truly know the needs of your company or business before asking. You should take every opportunity
to get outside and enjoy the natural world. Work will seem easier and you should feel more relaxed
once you engage in some sort of health-related activity. You enjoy good relations with family members
and a financial position is on the upswing.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN 19)
If ever there was a day to work with groups, this is it! Your acute sensitivity to other people’s moods
could enable you to fine-tune those moods as you would a violin. Your purchase power is to be envied.
Of course, with your ability to socialize, you can create a great business transaction as well. Import,
export or becoming a buyer for a company would not be an unusual option as a profession. Awareness of your monetary status is important and will help you have insight into the way you will want
to invest. You must be practical in personal decisions about finances. You should love being around
people today, especially those to whom you are emotionally attached--and possibly older friends with
whom you can reminisce. Enjoy your companions this evening.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 - FEB. 18)
This time marks a period of introspection and evaluation of goals. You may feel lonely and self-critical
at this time, but do not be too hard on yourself. Focus your effort on self-discovery instead. There may
be much responsibility at this time but people that may not express their appreciation recognize much
of your work. Perseverance is crucial to your own sense of accomplishment--you will be glad you
finished what you set out to complete. You may take on an easygoing manner to friends and family
just now. The need to relax and enjoy a setting away from work is important. You may decide to do
some sort of creative work that will add to the atmosphere or comfort of your surroundings. This is
also a good time to return a favor.
PISCES (FEB. 19 - MAR. 20)
Self-discipline and a sense of self-worth become important issues in your life. A fear of asserting yourself can
hold you back--as can coming on too strong. The trick is learning to make the most of your personal talents
and abilities--working within your limitations instead of feeling hemmed in by them. Colors are brighter, images
sharper, music more moving. Emotions run deep, especially with a loved one. Previously bland relationships
could now border on love/hate. Intensity rules! You can control this, so enjoy each moment. You are alive and
well--give someone else a helping hand today. When appropriate, encourage local businesses to display a
KIDS WELCOME HERE signs. Create or help with a community theater group for kids.

LANDSLIDE from Page 1
Engr. Noel Lacadin, chief geologist of MGB, said they have noticed the movement of huge rocks
and stones atop the mountain
which may eventually harm the
residents living at the slope and
foot of Mt. Arayat.
Lacadin told the villagers in
San Juan Bano, this town, that the
recurrence of landslide is an “accident waiting to happen anytime”
with the onslaught of tyhoon this
coming rainy season as huge rocks
are located at Sapang Mayagas, a
water channel atop the mountain.
The chief geologist has recommended the establishment of
UPPERCUT from Page 4
communities outside the identified danger zone to prevent any
untoward incidents compromising the safety and resources of the
residents.
He suggested to the residents
to vacate their communities and
shelters situated along the danger
zone.
Lacadin recalled that 12 died
in a during the landslide in the
area on September 26, 2009.
Mudflow with huge rocks and
stones had run down from the top
of the mountain hitting Purok 7 of
barangay San Juan Bano while the
residents were past asleep.
“To prevent the recurrence of
another tragedy acter what happened in 2009, we should refrain
from constructing houses inside
the identified and declared danger
zone,” Lacadin said.
It could also be recalled that
Governor Lilia G. Pineda initiated
the relocation of some 57 families
who were victims of the landslide
to a resettlement located at the
safe place of the village through
the assistance of the Department
of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), National Housing
Authority (NHA) and the local
government unit here. •

fied approach on addressing the
issue of resettlement.
It can be recalled that Alvarado has been pushing for the revival of the mothballed PDDP-II that
is seen to alleviate the perennial
flooding being experienced in the
first district of Bulacan, specifically in Hagonoy and Calumpit.
The project was opposed by
Bulakenyos in the early ‘90s who
feared that at least eight villages
in Calumpit and Hagonoy will be
erased from the map.
DPWH regional director Antonio Molano has earlier cited
the importance to push through
PDDP II project as part of the
flood mitigating measures in the
region.
He said the billions of pesos
used in PDDP Phase I project
would become totally useless and
could not even help in decreasing
expose them to liability for perjury and similar cases.
“Governor Ebdane has categorically denied meeting with Gov. Espino and Congressman Celeste at
any instance in Zambales or anywhere else, and that
the only time he would see Gov. Espino is during the
meeting of the League of Provinces of the Philip-

pines,” Barrantes pointed out.
“The account of the witness mentioning Gov. Ebdane’s name need not be belabored any further, as
it is a patent lie and concocted falsehood intended to
malign Gov. Ebdane who had nothing to do with the
alleged cases against Gov. Espino,” Barrantes added. •

DepEd also asked politicians to respect the graduations as a “solemn ceremony intended for the graduating students and their parents, and should not be used as a platform for political forum.”
Schools violating the said policy, should be reported to the DeTXT Action Center at telephone numbers 636-1663 or
633-1942. (DepEd)
Graduation rites should be scheduled either on the 18th or 19th of March. ●

Meanwhile, Mayor Rodriguez said that another footbridge
would be constructed along the
JASA that is near the former
Paskuhan Village. The outstanding chief executive has one of
its programs dubbed as “Kalsadang Malinis, Byaheng Mabilis”.
Among the components of the
program are these footbridges
and road widening projects within the city.
***
The city is doing its role in providing safety to commuters and
pedestrians regardless if they are
residents of San Fernando or otherwise. It is never remiss of programs that make life easier and safer. Sadly, while the city government
is doing its job, there are pedestrians who are really hard-headed
and never give value and importance to some structures made
for them such as the footbridge.
***
The government has spent
millions of pesos in constructing footbridges such as those in
barangay San Agustin in front
of the St. Scholastica’s Academy,
in Barangay Sindalan and in
between the two giant malls in
the province. Sadder still is that
despite the fact that they were
some who lose them once they started speaking. In the case
of the billboards, Nepomuceno seemed to have lost tack and
is about to lose more than half of the votes of the district.
Nepomuceno must remember, too, that the incumbent
mayors of the two cities and one town are party allies of
Guiao.
A congressman of the district needs to be a team-player
who knows how to equally divide efforts and initiatives
among the towns or cities under his turf. The district should
only be a single team whose members benefit equally from
all the programs and projects of its congressman.
Banking on one town or city in a multi-locality race will
not do the trick even if one had the support of the majority
of the people in the place he favored over the others. Besides, politics is addition and Nepomuceno knows that.
After the effects of his own propaganda set in, Nepomuceno might say: “Me and my big...billboard!”•

the project and said that it will
complement economic growth in
the city and ease traffic flow due
to careless pedestrians crossing
the highway while forcing passing vehicles to slow down. This
contributes to the supposed traffic speed of this multi-lane area of
the JASA.

TOWARDS THE LIGHT
constructed using millions of pesos, they are made worthless as
pedestrians are adamant to use
them when crossing streets and
highways.
***
There were a number of incidents where pedestrians were
sideswiped or hit by passing vehicles. Some motorists complain
that pedestrians should use these
footbridges so they too wouldn’t
get involved in the vehicular accidents.
***
An advice to the city government or to the DPWH: steel fences should be erected under these
footbridges and along areas near
them so to discourage pedestrians
from crossing the streets instead
of using pedestrian overpasses
and footbridges. The Epifanio
Delos Santos Avenue is fenced in
between and parallel to the opposing sides of the road. Although
there are still isolated cases of
accidents involving pedestrians,
it has significantly reduced the
number.
***
My road experience with the
pedestrian who crossed my path
has made me nervous when I
nearly hit him. If only I could have
caught up the man, I would make
him realize that what he did does
not only expose himself to danger
but also the motorists who might
have bumped him.

a married life and a 21-year old lad who gets pregnant is not.
Age is never the determining factor. Unless the decision is self
driven, we will never be ready for anything and I know I am
not yet ready for this kind of life. I still have a lot to do and
discover with my single life.
There are those who realize they are not yet ready for a
family life right after they got married and there are women,
too, who realize they want space and time for themselves at
the age of 40. Point is, I want to get married because I’m ready
for it and not because I’m just caught in a bind. Remember
the saying, “You cannot give what you don’t have.”
I want to be the right wife and mother someday because
I’m perfectly done being single. I have loved myself enough
that I’m ready to extend this love to someone else.
I can’t give up hunting toy cars yet, or my food escapades.
I’m not ready to give up my career to be somebody’s housewife. I still want to travel the world without worrying whom
to leave my kids with. I want to sleep sound without worrying
late nights where my husband is. I want to get booze without
having to wake up early to prepare breakfast for the whole
family. Perhaps I’ll be ready in time but, now, I still love to live
careless and free.
I am single not because I was left in love by a past relationship or because no man ever asked me out. I am single
because I want to live my own life and not live the life others
expect me to have. I want to enjoy life without depending my
happiness on someone else. I am single, yes, but it’s a choice
and not forced by circumstances.●

needs with the ultimate goal of the teacher to be
self-directed; and finally organizational leaders
should work to establish a culture that values professional and collegial interactions among themselves.
(Attention to all VPAAs, school principals, and
concerned academic leaders who carry the mandate of implementing instructional supervision as
part of their academic functions!!! The next paragraph below is for all of you.)
Instructional supervision processes must
meet the unique needs of all teachers being supervised. From the beginning teacher to the well experienced teacher, instructional supervision must
provide a variety of opportunities for each teacher
(Nolan & Hoover, 2005). This is what we call today
as DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONAL SUPERVISION and EVALUATION (DISE). However,
the standards and procedures expected of the
first-year teachers is exactly the same as experienced teachers the moment the new teachers enter
their classroom (Danielson & McGeal, 2000). Nolan and Hoover (2005) identified seven essential
skills of classroom-based supervision. These skills
include:
Builds trust and positive communication.
Uncovers espoused platforms and platforms
in use.
Encourage continuous reflection and inquiry
into teaching.
Collects systematic data.
Interpret and use the data.
Conference.
Foster a school wide climate that values community, collaboration and continual growth.
Aseltine et al. (2006) developed a new model
of instructional supervision and evaluation called
Performance-Based Supervision and Evaluation.
The model’s strength is in the conversation between the teacher and supervisor as they collaborate to enhance the teacher’s instructional capacity to improve student learning in essential skills,
knowledge and dispositions.
The model extends best practice in teacher supervision in the following ways:
Focus on instructional results.
Emphasis on setting meaningful and realistic
professional goals measured in terms of improved
student performance.
Encourages teachers to analyze, individually
and collectively, student work and use this data to
address learning needs.
Encourages teachers to design focused interventions to strengthen and enhance student learning in targeted areas.
Teachers develop a plan for professional
growth that is related to improving student learning and establishes them as lifelong learners.
Teachers use student performance as evidence
to demonstrate that learning has taken place.
Brings together through collaboration and
commitment the work of the teacher, supervisor
and additional resources.
Links the work of teachers with the goals of the
school improvement plan (pp. 14-15).
In order to develop a strong process for supervision, the underlying reason should be considered and the underlying reason is built on teacher
quality or effectiveness. Through our understanding of an effective teacher, the information which
should be the primary focus of supervision is identified. Effective teachers, as Stronge (2002) stated,
are dedicated to students and to the job of teaching
while working collaboratively with other academic
staff members. These teachers continually practice
self-evaluation and self-critique as learning tools.
In developing a new supervision system, McGreal (1983) suggested that a school division starts
with the contact between supervisor and the
teacher. Systems that work best impose the least
amount of obstacles upon that relationship. According to Perry Rettig (1999), teachers should be
given the opportunity to provide feedback through
supervision to each other.
Empowering teachers in peer supervision
provides personal accountability and meaningful feedback through dialogue and analysis of the
observations. The teachers converse more about
their instruction and what they would like to try
(Rooney, 2005). Good principals, according to
Glanz (2005), continually engage teachers in instructional dialogue and reflective practices so
they are better equipped to improve the academic
performance of their students and, of equal significance, their work performance as educators of the
21st century. ●

A precious gift to
Kapampangan race
F
BY JENNA LUMBANG
ebruary 21 – This day is truly a remarkable and memorable one for the people of Pampanga because this was the
day the young Lilia Pineda was born, the young baby
who was destined to become the governor of more than two
million Kapampangans. To many, Baby is God sent –a gift of
God to Pampanga.
This was the gist of the speech of Vice Gov. Joseller “Yeng”
Guiao during the surprise birthday bash prepared by the provincial government dedicated to the governor.
Yeng said Nanay is destined to be in the local highest position in the province because her heart is pure and sincere.
Meaning, her heart belongs to the people especially to the poor
and less fortunate.
To show their appreciation to what the governor is continuously doing for the province and its people, Capitol’s department heads and chiefs of hospitals did dancing, singing and
even song interpretation just to make fun and please the birthday celebrator--the mother of the province, “Ing indu ning Kapampangan.”
Provincial Administrator Atty. Andres Pangilinan Jr. in his
message said the capitol employees were lucky to have Gov.
Pineda as their governor, supervisor, manager and mother
packed into one.
The governor was able to handily mobilize all sectors in the
province–the barangay officials, health workers, bantay-bayan,
youth, senior citizens, businessmen, junkshop operators, vendors, persons with disabilities, pregnant mothers, indigenous
people, farmers, fishermen, among others into one mind–to
turn the province of Pampanga as a working symbol of love
and unity, a gift to humanity and the future generation. This
one-mind has brought the province into inevitable development that could be felt by the Kapampangans. Truly, unity
brings progress – “Ramdam ding Kapampangan”.
She has simultaneously implemented P1.2 billion infrastructure development projects in 30 months and still has P1.5 billion bank deposits.
“Together with the people who love the governor, we at the
provincial government are rejoicing because one of the best
leaders of the province could ever had was born,” he uttered.
Even the provincial police office, headed by Senior Supt.
R’win Pagkalinawan and the chiefs of police in every municipality gathered together to greet Nanay Gob. They serenaded
her during her visit in Arayat.
Pagkalinawan said the serenade is a demonstration of how
they love and appreciate the local chief executive for her unwavering support to the police officers and personnel of Pampanga.
“We are grateful to Gov. Pineda and we had uttered it many
times but this is our chance to show that we really appreciate all
her effort to help us in the maintenance of the peace and order
in Pampanga,” he said.
When he was singing, he even said, “Napakagaan ng trabaho
ng provincial director ng kapulisan sa Pampanga, pakanta-kanta nalang, dahil sa wala nang kriminal dahil sa tulong-tulong
ang lahat.”
Gov. Pineda was also welcomed by the people of Arayat with
greetings and tarpaulins expressing their love and care for the
governor.
For her part, Gov. Pineda acknowledged all the people who
helped her in serving the Kapampangan and asked their continuous support to her administration.
She also wished for prosperity and peace in the province.
Many people who work with the governor described her as
self-less, dedicated, and compassionate leader and mother of the
province.
“It is easy for the people to approach Nanay (Gov. Pineda).
She personally attends to our concerns,” a health worker from
Arayat said.
“We can feel her sincerity and love for the Kapampangan
both in her action and words”, said Brgy. Captain Lucio Portacio of Brgy. San Juan Baño, Arayat.
For almost two years, the Kapampangans have felt the genuine character of a mother and a spirit of a leader with Gov. Pineda and most of our kabalen will agree with the vice governor
that Nanay Gov is truly a gift to every Kapampangan. •
