WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY
Every year, on 31 May, WHO and partners mark World No Tobacco Day (WNTD), highlighting the health and other risks associated with tobacco use, and advocating for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption.
The focus of World No Tobacco Day 2018 is "Tobacco and heart disease." The campaign will increase awareness on the:
link between tobacco and heart and other cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including stroke, which combined are the world’s leading causes of death;
feasible actions and measures that key audiences, including governments and the public, can take to reduce the risks to heart health posed by tobacco.
World No Tobacco Day 2018 coincides with a range of global initiatives and opportunities aimed at addressing the tobacco epidemic and its impact of public health, particularly in causing the death and suffering of millions of people globally.
These actions include the WHO-supported Global Hearts and RESOLVE initiatives, which aim to reduce cardiovascular disease deaths and improve care, and the third United Nations General Assembly High-level Meeting on the Prevention and Control of NCDs , being held in 2018. # Source -www.dilg.gov.ph

DEPED CONVENES EDUCATION PARTNERS TO ENSURE SMOOTH SCHOOL OPENING
To guarantee a smooth opening of classes for school year (SY) 2018-2019 on June 4, the Department of Education (DepEd) convened various agencies, institutions, and stakeholders to form the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Oplan Balik Eskwela (OBE) 2018.
Education chief Leonor Magtolis Briones expressed her gratitude to the members of OBE-IATF for their unwavering support not only during the start of classes but also for the rest of the school year: “We would like to thank our partner agencies in the government because this is not just the undertaking of the Department, this is the undertaking of the entire community of Filipinos who is interested in, and advocates quality education.”
The Secretary further expressed confidence in the preparedness of the Department for SY 2018-2019: “I would like to assure everyone that we are all ready. We have been spending the first months of the year making assessments and preparing for this school year.”
Briones is joined by OBE co-chairs, Undersecretary Jesus Mateo and Assistant Secretary G.H. Ambat, in welcoming the education partners.
Electrical safety in schools
Among the efforts of the Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) for this year's OBE are the assessment of school's electrical facilities to ensure compliance with electrical wiring safety standard, trimming of tree branches along electrical facilities within the school vicinity, and the distribution of "Safe ang School Ko" assessment forms to serve as basis in implementing proper corrections of school electrical conditions.
To date, MERALCO has assessed 2,628 schools in Meralco franchise areas using a standardized assessment checklist.
Ligtas Balik Eskwela and Oplan Bisita Eskwela
More than 28,000 Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel will be deployed to assure the safety and security of students, teachers, parents, and school personnel nationwide especially during the resumption of classes.
The PNP’s Oplan Bisita Eskwela is designed to establish strong coordination with the academe, students, youth sector, and communities to initiate anti-bullying and anti-illegal drug campaigns, among others.
PNP also disclosed that currently, there are no reported terror threats.
Oplan Balik Eskwela Diskwento Caravan
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) kicked off the Oplan Balik Eskwela Diskwento Caravan on May 21 in Makati City. The activity, in partnership with manufacturers and retailers, gives consumers access to basic goods, school supplies, and prime commodities at discounted prices.
DTI is also intensifying its weekly price monitoring activities of school supplies, such as noteboooks, pad papers, pencils, ballpens, crayons, eraser, sharpener, and rulers, during the months of May and June.
DTI warned that under the Price Act, price manipulation and profiteering have a corresponding administrative fine of not less than P5,000 up to P2 million, as well as imprisonment.
Learners’ well-being and equitable access to health care
To ensure that learners stay healthy and the school environment conducive to learning, the Department of Health (DOH) aims to contribute to the reduction of child morbidity and mortality towards the attainment of global health well-being, gender equality, and clean water and sanitation.
In addition, the Health Department aims to provide affordable health, nutrition and environment care to all Filipino children, especially the disadvantaged group.
DOH also assured the public that they regularly monitor Dengvaxia cases, primarily through their 24/7 hotline and their information, education, and communication materials.
Rainy season reminders
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that the expected weather during the last week of May and first week of June will be partly cloudy in the morning, with chances of rainshowers and thunderstorms between afternoon and evening.
PAGASA reminded the public to be aware of flood-prone areas en route to school for flashfloods occurrence due to thunderstorms, and to watch out for lightning strike.
Further, the weather station also iterated that temperature in the country during the months of April and May are relatively high and the opening of classes cannot be the same with countries which start classes in September because their summer months are July and August.
Assistance to individuals in crisis situations
In conflict situations, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is giving aid to eligible beneficiaries to help alleviate the cost of school expenses, such as tuition and other fees, school supplies, transportation allowance and other school-related expenses.
In 2017, the education assistance was provided to 201,861 beneficiaries nationwide, which amounted to P458.6 million.
Adequate power supply in schools
The Department of Energy (DOE) lauded DepEd for its education programs and affirms its support to ensure quality, accessible, relevant, and liberating basic education by making sure that there will be sufficient power distribution in the country.
Anti-Truancy Ordinance and other efforts by local government units
Every year, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) encourages officials of local government units (LGUs) to enact ordinances such as Anti-Truancy Ordinance to strictly monitor the entry of uniformed students in mall, internet cafes, and other recreation centers, especially during school hours.
DILG also urged all local chief executives to support the OBE campaign by convening the local school boards, together with the schools division superintendents, to be able to address issues in time for the start of classes and discuss the utilization of available resources under the Special Education Fund.
It also commended teachers who served during the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections, and called on the candidates of the recent poll to tidy up and remove campaign paraphernalia in schools used as precincts.
Transport and traffic management in Metro Manila
Back to school season entails considerable traffic congestion as a large number of students in the National Capital Region is expected to troop back to school. To address this, Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will deploy more than 2,980 constables.
Moreover, support groups, such as the traffic engineering center, sidewalk clearing operations group, anti-jaywalking and anti-smoking enforcement group, will perform their specific tasks to guarantee the peace and order within Metro Manila. # Source – www.deped.gov.ph

“In Brigada, bayanihan is very much alive through helping hands, and unrelenting commitment to serve and improve the quality of education. Together, we can achieve so much for our learners,” the Education chief encouraged.

DEPED GEARS UP FOR SCHOOL OPENING THROUGH OPLAN BALIK ESKWELA 2018
In line with its annual initiative to engage education partners and stakeholders in preparation for the opening of classes, the Department of Education (DepEd) is set to reactivate the National Oplan Balik Eskwela (OBE) for School Year 2018-2019 from May 21 to June 8 at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan, DepEd-Central Office in Pasig City.
“The conduct of the OBE will ensure that all our learners are properly enrolled and able to attend school on the first day of classes by addressing problems, queries, and other concerns commonly encountered by our stakeholders at the start of the school year,” Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones explained.
Under the OBE, the DepEd-Central Office (CO) shall set up the OBE Information and Action Center (IAC) at the Bulwagan ng Karunugan which shall serve as the information and complaints processing and routing zone for the duration of the project.

SET UP POLICE ASSISTANCE DESKS IN SCHOOLS FOR JUNE 4 OPENING OF CLASSES
Less than two weeks before the opening of classes on June 4, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) OIC-Secretary Eduardo M. Ano directs the Philippine National Police (PNP) to setup police assistance desks in all public schools nationwide.
“Ensuring peace and order is part of enabling a conducive learning environment. Police officers shall be assigned in schools during school opening and conduct foot patrols,” he says.
The targeted enhanced police presence in schools, he says, is in support to the Oplan Balik Eskwela Inter-Agency Task Force of the Department of Education where the DILG and PNP are among the member agencies.
According to Ano, the PNP should also intensify its crime prevention programs in schools. “Police officers assigned in schools during the school opening should take the opportunity to distribute leaflets and flyers on anti-bullying, anti-illegal drugs, and anti-crime tips to educate them on how to deal with such challenges,” he said.
Meanwhile, DILG Assistant Secretary Jonathan Malaya underscores that local chief executives have important roles to play for a smooth start of the new academic year.
“OIC-Secretary Ano shall be issuing a memorandum circular to governors, mayors, and punong barangays urging them to support the Oplan Balik Eskwela of DepEd,” he said.
Local government units (LGUs) are encouraged to convene their Peace and Order Councils (POCs), Local Councils for the Protection of Children (LCPCs) and Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Councils (LDRRMCs) to carry out necessary preparations, anticipate requirements and employ corresponding necessary measures during the opening of classes.
“LGUs are also prodded to enact an anti-truancy ordinance to regulate the entry of uniformed students in malls, internet cafes, and other recreation centers, especially during school hours,” says Malaya.
Local governments are further enjoined to ensure that road networks leading to schools are secure, clean and clearly marked with signage. # Source – www.dilg.gov.ph

“The conduct of the OBE will ensure that all our learners are properly enrolled and able to attend school on the first day of classes by addressing problems, queries, and other concerns commonly encountered by our stakeholders at the start of the school year,” Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones explained.
Under the OBE, the DepEd-Central Office (CO) shall set up the OBE Information and Action Center (IAC) at the Bulwagan ng Karunugan which shall serve as the information and complaints processing and routing zone for the duration of the project.

CLOSE TO P12-B PROJECTS TO BENEFIT 1,373 TOWNS UNDER ASSISTANCE TO MUNICIPALITIES PROGRAM
A total of 1,373 towns nationwide will benefit from P11.71-billion worth of projects under the Assistance to Municipalities (AM) program of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
This year, DILG OIC-Secretary Eduardo M. Ano announces that the AM program now includes local bridges, disaster risk reduction-related equipment, rain water catchment facilities, sanitation and health facilities, and municipal drug rehabilitation facility.
“Ang programang AM ay parang Ayuda sa mga Munisipalidad. It is cognizant of the need to further enable municipalities in carrying out functions devolved to them while at the same time, building their capacity towards genuine fiscal autonomy,” explains Ano.
The AM program seeks to equitably assist all municipalities in the delivery of basic services by providing financial subsidy to municipalities for the implementation of their priority programs and projects.
In 2017, the program previously called Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities (ADM) only covered local access roads, water system projects, evacuation facilities and water impounding projects.
“The DILG is always geared towards responsive governance. The expansion of menu of AM projects is in line with the identified needs of municipalities indicated in their Local Development Investment Plans,” he says.
In DILG Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 2018-61, the DILG Chief points out that while the fund will be released directly from the national government thru the Bureau of Treasury to municipal governments after complying with the requirements of the DILG, municipalities shall be accountable for the overall implementation of AM projects.
He also explains that the release of funds is subject to the compliance of the concerned municipalities with the requirements of the DILG Seal of Good Financial Housekeeping, functionality of a town’s Local Development Council, and requisites of Public Financial Management (PFM) systems and adoption of the corresponding PFM measures.
Budget allocation for municipalities is determined based on equal share, fiscal capacity, per-capita share, and share for good performance.
“The deadline for compliance with the requirements shall be until June 30, 2018. Funds for the non-compliant municipalities shall no longer be released,” Ano states.
Transparency of AM projects
According to the DILG Chief, mechanisms are laid down in the guidelines to make way for public information and transparency of AM projects.
Within a month after receipt of the AM fund, a municipal government shall use its own local fund as counterpart in installing a Community Billboard within the premises of its municipal hall and ensure regular monthly updating of the project status in the billboard. A municipality shall also install project signboards at each project location.
A local government is also required to post quarterly reports on its official website for a period of three years.
“Civil society organizations may also actively participate in the implementation by way of Municipal Development Council Project Monitoring, being an observer in the procurement process, and being a third party in monitoring and evaluation,” he says.
Ano warns that projects not implemented in accordance with DILG MC No. 2018-61 including all other applicable laws may result in non-inclusion or disqualification of a municipality in the future national government assistance. # Source – www.dilg.gov.ph

RICE HYBRIDIZATION PROGRAM KEY TO HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY
So much has been said against the program to introduce the use of hybrid rice seeds to improve rice production.
In fact, we in the Department of Agriculture have been accused of promoting hybrid seeds because we are financially gaining from the program.
To those accusing us of corruption in the seeds procurement, my response is: prove it or better still show us how it is done because I believe you are the experts in corruption and conflict of interest transactions.
Here is the real reason why we are promoting hybrid seeds, this story of a farmer who set the record of highest harvest of 16.63-metric tons per hectare.
Compare that to the national average of only 4.38-metric tons per hectare.
In the hybridization program, we are not even targetting 16 metric tons but just a conservative 6 metric tons per hectare per harvest.
We are not also promoting a specific brand of hybrid seeds because rice seeds are area-specific, meaning a rice variety that performs well in Isabela Province may not perform well in Iloilo or Cotabato.
Besides, there two kinds of hybrids: the commercial hybrid seeds produced by private agricultural companies and the public hybrids developed by PhilRice which are grown by private seed growers.
Both hybrids perform very well but commercial hybrid seeds are more expensive costing up to P5,000 per bag for one hectare while the public hybrids range from P2,000 to P3,000.
With a total harvested area of 4.9-million hectares, a 2-metric ton increase in yield per hectare would mean an addtional 9.8-million metric tons in production of rice.
When milled with a recovery of 65%, that would mean an additional rice supply of 6.7-million metric tons.
Our national rice supply deficiency is only 500,000 metric tons. # Reprinted/Manny Pinol

MOTHER'S DAY IN PHILIPPINES
Mother’s day in Philippines is celebrated on second Sunday of the month of May. And children and their fathers spend the whole day pampering their Mothers and showing off love to them. Mother’s day in Philippines is considered as a token of showing gratitude to the immeasurable sacrifices that mothers do for their family.
The celebration of Mother’s day dates back to the era of early Romans and Greeks. At that time, they would celebrate the annual spring festival which they dedicated to adoring their Maternal Goddesses. In early time, Christians celebrated the festival in the quest of honouring Virgin Mary. But, the celebration got official recognition by United States in 1872 by Julia Ward. She was the one who wrote a proclamation requesting all the Mothers to help themselves rise during the war. However, it was Anna Jarvis who is considered to be the originator of Mothers’ day. Her long effort in the bid to recognise hard work a mother puts in wile raising her child, led to Woodrow Wilson, the President of the country, declaring the second Sunday as Mothers’ Day.
The mothers of Philippines have various nicknames including Mama, Nanay, Mom, Mommy and many others. However, children in the country denote their mother by “ilaw ng tahanan“, which means the light of the house. This idiom used for mothers in the country describes the comfort and warmth that they bring to the home with their cheerful demeanour. Mothers are the one who, at most occasions sacrifice their own interests just to serve their children. They make sure to keep alive the well-being the entire family. Another saying which describes the sacrifice that a mother does is, “Ang Ina, isusubo na nga lang, ibibigay pa sa anak”. This can be to an extent summed up as “even if the food is all ready for her she will always want of feed ounce of it to her children.
Mother’s day is extraordinarily revered and therefore it is celebrated throughout the country with utmost zeal. The people there do not only celebrate the festival not only in honour of their own mother but they also revere their grandmothers, cousins, aunts, and every other female members of the family.
Children make cards for their mothers drawing on them the picture of their mothers. Some of them also arrange for breakfast for their mothers in bed. An interesting fact is that, husbands also give gifts to their wives or they also take their wives to a trip or a day of relaxation. The day’s celebration starts with hearing mass in the morning and thereafter presenting to the moms with delicious lunch at one of their favourite restaurants. And, the rest part of the day is spent at one of the mother’s favourite places. Mother’s day in Philippines is not an official holiday, however it falls on Sunday. # ADAPTED
