In the morning, Mr. Jhonnel Velligas, the GAD focal person of CVSC educates the students about the gender equality. He stressed out
the difference between gender and sex of the person. He also added that everybody should give equal treatment regardless of their gender.
He also discussed on Gender Bred Man which symbolized the gender identity. He ended the lecture reminding us that we should be gender
sensitive.
In the afternoon, another orientation is given which tackles the HIV/AIDS Awareness. The resource speaker is Ms. Amalodia P.
Gregorio, the HIV/AIDS Prevention Educator/PRC Staff, who explained the risk factor, transmission, clinical manifestation, prevention of
HIV/AIDS and counseling. This helped the students to be aware of various stigmas heard all over the society and to know about the rampant
issue of the most infectious HIV/AIDS disease. Indeed, it is our right to have a good health.
There was also an exhibit of different miniatures which were made by the BSEd Social Studies students. This exhibit can also
support the GAD Orientation which shows the rampant issues in society nowadays. The said event valued the importance of the rights to be
treated with no discrimination against gender equality to promote gender equality, equity and empowerment.

To introduce the new curriculum in tertiary level, a forum was conducted on April 4, 2018 which started at exactly 8:00 AM, in CVSC, New Bataan, Compostela Valley.

The Commission on Higher Education has released the Policy Standard and Guidelines (PSG) for the New Curriculum. It was stated that CHED Memorandum Order (CMO)
updates CMO 74 for Bachelor of Elementary Education. Under CMO 75 is Bachelor of Secondary Education. CMO 18 covers the Bachelor of Entrepreneurship. CMO 77 catered the
students with special needs to mold their own uniqueness. CMO 79 covers the Technical Vocational Teacher Education. There is also CMO 81 which covers Bachelor of Science in
Exercise and Sports Sciences.

The new curriculum is patterned with the K-12 program of the government. Some subjects in college from the old curriculum are already offered in Senior High School. This is the reason why the
tertiary level must have a new curriculum which will have General Education subjects different from that of Senior High School subjects, and also it is focused more on major subjects.

Furthermore, the Scholarship Coordinator, Wendy Mae Walles delivered some information regarding the newly signed law by President Rodrigo Duterte. Free Education in accordance with
the R.A 10931 otherwise known as Universal Access of Quality Education.

The said event ends with fully guided instructions and guidelines in order to uphold the changes of new curriculum and to eliminate alienation of the new curriculum as emphasized in the forum.

It was February 4, 2017 back then when we had our Ground Breaking Ceremony for the two-story school
building. Funny how time flew so fast; the tarpaulin’s building picture is now built, and ready for occupancy.

Nowadays, there has been a rapid increase of technology same as different

websites update their version. Social media has its way where different sites of
information, perceptions, data and information can be easily found, as quick as you ever
wanted. Reading with news can be fun and makes you update the world around you. But
what makes you believe is not true?

Fake news comes in different forms, ranging from total fabrication to distortion of
facts to state-sponsored propaganda to the spread of erroneous content on social media
such as Facebook, Twitter and other websites. This issue seems to be ridiculous and
some individuals are the victim of such fake news that creates tension worldwide.

Some individuals use social media to destroy other’s personal life, these can be a
factor why other users dessiminate information that are not true and everybody believe it’s
true. Due to the nature of social media, it allows some news stories to be spread without
any verification. This brings about the issue of how many people question the accuracy
of the news. Part of the reason why fake news is so rampant is because users find it
convenient to access news on social media channels and there seems to be a tendency to
share the new stories without first verifying its credibility. With the amount of news stories
available on social media sites, it has become harder for users to differentiate between
accurate information and fake news.

It is a fact that readers or viewers are the victims of this deception in the newspaper
or in any websites you visit. As active participant in society, these issue spread around the
world, fake news has its own peak. So, the decision is on us. Don’t share some information
on your account or in different websites that is not true. Make sure that it is verified by going
to reliable sites. Call-out your friends about what they shared. The challenge is on your
hand, regain other’s trust by not posting false information cause one act ruin everything!!

After the Department of Health put into action the plan combatting the Dengue cases we have here in the Philippines during the term of the
late President Benigno Aquino III, it roomed around many controversies and concerns after Sanofi Pasteur the producer of the vaccine announced
that the dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia, could lead to more severe cases of dengue fever that may cause death.
Sanofi’s scientific analysis being deliberated was that this dengue vaccine will ensure safety and efficacy to those who are infected and to
those who are free from the dengue virus yet they found out that “in the longer term, more cases of severe disease could occur following vaccination
upon a subsequent dengue infection. According to Sanofi, the people who are at risk are those who have not been previously infected by dengue virus.
The Department of Health in lead by the Health Sec. Francisco Duque III reinforces threats to folks through reaching different media to spread
out cautions after Sanofi Pasteur’s dengue vaccine administered to more than 800,000 children in the Philippines.
With this alarming case, the new seated administration has initiated to put an investigation team who are composed of expert panel to find out
what’s the best action to do next to surpass this case. Health Secretary Duque said on an interview that they would provide all documents needed by the
Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) as they were putting justice to those who have been vaccinated against those officials who implemented
the now-suspended dengue vaccination program.
VACC is currently working with the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) on a forensic examination and of the bodies of kids vaccinated with Dengvaxia.
VACC lawyer Ferdinand Topacio said they are on the filing a plunder complaint against Garin, former president Benigno Aquino III, ex-budget chief
Florencio Abad, and other DOH officials involved in this program.
The PAO and VACC are doing the investigation independently from the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital, which the DOH
has tapped to review another 14 cases of deaths of children who had received Dengvaxia. Duque said that the DOH will not interfere with this probe and
even offered to help PAO and VACC. “We already told them we would be very happy to cooperate with them because the objective of ferreting out the truth
is the paramount consideration. Our doors are open and if they have a request to us, we would help them. Everything, we’re open. We cannot and we will
never obstruct their efforts,” said Duque.
What is worse is that medical doctors who should be more ethical have made statements that go against the assessment of the majority experts who
say the vaccine is safe and effective if used properly. Forensic experts release results about possible patterns of suspected deaths without telling us that so
many deaths that are unrelated in terms of cause, have similar patterns. They won’t tell the public that a cost-benefit analysis for every technology is the
proper approach. Without a cost-benefit analysis, we wouldn’t be using most of the drugs and medical procedures we are using now.
Other experts spread lies about the way the FDA monitors adverse reactions, how it is properly done and what it means. Those who lie about the
process entails that their political agenda would not be validated if people understood that it is being done properly.
I hope this issue dies down soon. The lies have scared people, wasted resources, and put the public’s health at risk. Often, when people are scared over
one vaccine, they not only refuse that vaccine even if they shouldn’t, they also refuse other vaccines.

I hope someday, true experts would keep faith with their mandates to give people the real information they need to make the proper health decisions and will ensure safety of the public because once there is threat, people wouldn’t think its threat.

This Law seeks to correct a number
of deficiencies and failures in the tax system
and make it simpler, fairer and more efficient.
Apart from simplifying the country’s tax
system, TRAIN also seeks a good collection
of government revenues to fund projects
on infrastructure modernization and human
capital formation, all while easing the burden
of the average Filipino wage earner.

In view, however, the good insights

As 2018 comes, a new Republic Act has also
arrived, the RA 10963 otherwise known as The Tax
Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN).
of this law had never surpassed the
common shared point of the average
Filipino wage earner. Some commodities
which are of daily need have reached
almost a half of its retail price; even
cost of transportation have also increased as price of gas
increases.

Train Law is now officially a law after having
been signed by President Duterte last Dec. 19, 2017.
2018 is the year that marks the full
implementation of the Tax Reform for Acceleration
and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act. This tax reform is among
the bedrock of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s extra
initiative to combat the rising poverty of the country.
Anent to this, the government has to assure sufficient
information to the people on how this new law would
affect their everyday lives.
Before its full implementation, it must be
considered that the enactment of the bill into law
should abide the rule­ making process. The law
must be put into effect or, otherwise properly and
effectively implemented to materialize its desired
goal. In connection to this, RA 10963 provides that
the law shall take effect on Jan. 1, 2018, following
its complete publication in the Official Gazette, or in
at least one newspaper of general circulation. As for
its effective implementation, the Secretary of Finance
shall, upon the recommendation of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, promulgate the necessary rules
and regulations within thirty days from its effectivity.
The common burden of Filipino people is the
sustainability of job and it is quite alarming when majority of
Filipinos cannot land into a job that suits their profession or
skills. Even though this law seeks to provide opportunities
to Filipino people, the vision of this TRAIN Law will count
number of years to fund and supply the lacking of the
government to the public.
But in midst of its negative aspects viewed by
Filipinos, TRAIN Law had already provided several benefits;
one of this is the FREE-TUITION on State Colleges and
Universities all through-out the country which help all
Filipinos who have financial constraints accessing tertiary
education.
By this, it’s quite confusing when men of interest
learns to ask if this Law brings benefits or just worsen the
worst poverty state of the country.
More than its vague side of the law, let’s just find how
clear the eagerness of our country’s president to support
and provide the essential needs of Filipino people in
nearby future. Though this law’s vision is yet to come, the
administration of President Duterte is indeed a government
of tapang and malasakit.

As I see it!
Segregation of wastes from biodegradable, non-
biodegradable, and recyclable is under in the Comprehensive
Ecological Solid Waste Management of 2011. In response to this,
the government of New Bataan has implemented the Resolution
No. 78, Ordinance No. 04 series of 2012 which enforces
community members to clean their surroundings, segregate their
garbage and prohibit them from burning the garbage.
In line to this resolution is the imposed penalty for any
violation of the stipulated ordinance. For individual community
member, 1st offense has the penalty of P50 plus one hour community service, 2nd offense has the penalty of P300
or four hours community service. For residential the 1st offense has the penalty of P100 plus two hours community
service, 2nd offense has the penalty of P200 or four hours community service while for 3rd offense has the penalty
of P400 or eight hours community service. For market stall occupants, 1st offense has the penalty of P200 plus
four hours community service, 2nd offense has the penalty of P400 or seven hours community service while for 3rd
offense has the penalty of P800, while for commercial establishment and institution, 1st offense has the penalty
of P500 plus eight hours community service, 2nd offense has the penalty of P1000 while for 3rd offense has the
penalty of P1500.
In midst of the implementation of the municipal ordinance, people still throw their garbage anywhere instead
of putting it on its proper bin. Most public places are filled with plastics and cellophanes even though there are bins
on the area intended for the garbage.
People still don’t get what’s the importance of segregating wastes and until now remain unchanged although
global problems concerning nature is obviously occupying the globe.
Human endeavour worsen environmental problems. The fact that we contribute illness to the nature, the
worst it may return. This is the very reason why we need to call the attention of every individual start cleaning and
preserving the environment because if this human attitude will still pervade in the next years then people should
expect for the worst to come.

To teach is to inspire!

As Pre-Service Teachers takes into the real-life application of learned methodologies and strategies in
teaching, they are packed with golden learning they have gained during their previous years of schooling in
CVSC- New Bataan.

Last January 22, 2018, 4th year education students were deployed to different public institutions within
the locality of New Bataan. For Elementary Education there were 4 cooperating schools who have welcomed
CVSC-NB Pre-Service Teachers; they are Cabinuangan Central Elementary School, Bantacan Elementary
School, Andap Elementary School, and San Roque Elementary School. For Secondary Education there were
3 cooperating schools which are very welcoming; they are New Bataan National High School, Bantacan
National High School, and Andap National High School.
Practice Teaching is a key component of an extended school experience of the teacher education curriculum which a pre-
service teacher undertakes as part of his/ her elementary or secondary education course. It is viewed by many educators as the
most important experience in the professional education of a pre-service teacher. It is envisioned that during practice teaching,
these prospective teachers will be exposed in all aspects of teaching such as delivery of instruction, management of a class, and
dealing with various types of learners, assisting the cooperating teacher, and doing numerous teaching tasks.

“It is indeed no single day in teaching as an easy one”. This was a statement ought by Jeric Pawin a Pre-Service Teacher in
Andap National High School. According to him, “Whenever he enters the class, it is also like entering a battlefield in which he has
to prepare his self and his weapons. Lesson Plan, Instructional Materials, and Class Records and to note that this is a daily job,
teaching is indeed requires effort and time.”

Mr. Andy P. Cabodoc, School Principal of Bantacan Elementary School gave credits to the administration of CVSC-NB for
choosing their institution to be part of the program and for providing competent Student-Teachers. He said that the performance
of PST’s reflects to the institution where they came and since his PST’s are excellent enough in teaching profession, he proudly
say that CVSC-NB is a quality school to invest tertiary education. He hopes one day that PSTs produced by CVSC-NB will be his
co-employees in DepEd- New Bataan.

Children’s future lies within the teacher’s hands but to think that child’s hands are in good stroke because of teachers
guidance it is a notion that teachers plays an important role to every student that is why practice teaching is not just a subject
alone to enrol with, it is an avenue for every soon-to-be-teacher to explore, learn and embody what a teaching profession really is.

Once you are an Entrepreneurship student, you have to start small and dream big for your future. Last February 12, 2018, the 4th year Entrepreneurship students finally opened
their business operation as part of the College curriculum. There are eight businesses owned by different proponents namely the ECE-streetfood, Bananamis, Putolicious, P², Kolehiyo
Enterprise, Panagupitan, Bulad Heneral and Bamboo Bugasan.

Entrepreneurs working together for their future profession.

According to Jerlyn Joy Balbin, a 4th year Entrep student, “To be in the business world is not easy especially
when you are not yet financially stable. You need to start small at first but you need to dream big for your
business to grow. You need to consider the unforeseen events,
so you must ready for it. Whoever says Entrep is an easy
course, well I tell it is not because B.S. Entrepreneurship is a
roller coaster ride course, you need to take all the ups and
downs but in the end it is somehow an instrument to make
people happy.”

How was your feeling when you are qualified to national level? I
was so happy! It is because it is one of my biggest dream to qualify in national level. AIMEE M. AMPOON APRIL JANE D. PANTOJA
What is your preparation before the actual game? Before I play Managing Editor News Editor
the game, me and my teammates always do the warm ups and other preparatory
activities. And most of all, always pray that I can play at my best in every game I play.
How was your experience during the game? When I play there, it
was not a surprise for me that our opponents are really good but even though they
are good, I have to give my very best also so that I can win the game. I did not feel
nervous that time, instead I was pressured.
What are your strategies/techniques to defeat your opponent? I choose to be more focused
on my spins and my servings because in my mind, I know that those were the right things to do. To easily
defeat the opponent.

achievement for me.

Personal Info: Emelio Espadilla Alquiza, 19 years of age, BEED student of CVSC-New Bataan Campus. He
started playing at the age of 5 but no formal training because lack of trainer. He started playing in school when he
was in Grade 4.
How was your feeling when you are qualified to national
level? The feeling is mutual. At first, I was really excited because it
took too long before I reach this National level but later on I am really
disappointed considering that I will be left behind in my academics. LAURENCE A. MANTIZA ELONEY JOY A. DAPADAP
However, because I am enthusiastic in this game, I encourage myself to
do my best because it is not just my honor but also bringing the name and Cartoonist Layout Artist/Photojournalist
honor of my school and region.
What is your preparation before the actual game? Time and
effort really matters after all. I need to study and practice every night before
our game though our time for one week training was over. I experienced to
sleep late at night just to practice. Studies in day then practice at night. I
spend 2-4 hours to study and practice chess as part of my preparation.
How was your experience during the game? It was pretty awesome thinking that we are able to defeat the
defending champion for the last year National SCUAA – the NCR. The pressure in national level was quite different from
any level I played, minding that they are title holder players and high rated players compared to us which are unrated ones.
What are your strategies/techniques to defeat your opponent? I don’t have specific strategies or
techniques to defeat them. Instead, I just enjoy every single game and give the best of my ability and never underestimate MILANEL B. AMISTOSO MICHELLE J. COMENDADOR
