<div>
ALABEL, Sarangani (October 10, 2009) – A Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) was signed Friday (October 9) by the Chiongbian Group of Companies represented by its executive vice president Roy Chiongbian, the provincial government, and the Department of Education (DepEd) for School Wide Parent Mentoring Session.<br />
<br />
The activity, spearheaded by the Quality Education for Sarangani Today (QUEST) and the DepEd, is based on “the urgency of arresting the deterioration in the quality of basic education and encouraging the local community to become part of the improvement and reform of the basic educational system,” the MOU stated.<br />
<br />
The project sees the need for more parents’ participation in improving the performance of their children in reading, a basic skill that will prepare them for lifelong learning.<br />
<br />
Last Friday was also the provincial celebration of teachers’ day dubbed “A Teacher - A Hero in Everybody’s Heart” at the Capitol gym.<br />
<br />
“This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to you, teachers,” Governor Migs Dominguez told the participants. Sarangani has a total of 3,492 DepEd personnel and teachers.<br />
<br />
“We recognize your hardships and we look for the most passionate ones to help us strengthen our people,” the governor said.<br />
<br />
Guest speaker Engr. Efren Reyes stressed the role of teachers in the country.<br />
<br />
“You are in the position to build up the next generation,” Reyes said.<br />
<br />
Reyes denounced the negative connotations role of the Filipinos in the world.<br />
<br />
Reyes said “there is no bad student in school. All it takes is a teacher to motivate the child to learn. Education is learning to love to learn.”<br />
<br />
“I am very happy for you today,” businessman Roy Chiongbian said.<br />
<br />
“We know how hard it is for you physically and mentally, but you are always behind each student’s success,” Chiongbian told the teachers. He is the youngest son of the late former Congressman James Chiongbian and former Governor Priscilla Chiongbian, both champions of education in Sarangani.<br />
<br />
“This is the beauty of the province’s executive and legislative working together as one team,” Vice Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon said.<br />
<br />
“As teachers, we are here as students of the university of life. We learn and innovate to really help others in our chosen vocation,” Solon added.<br />
<br />
Schools Division Superintendent Deborah Adrales said DepEd Sarangani has improved its performance record from 37 to 61 percent in elementary and from 28 to 47 percent in high school in a span of six years, but more significantly in the past two years.<br />
<br />
“We started by launching the QUEST raising the performance of our children. We believe that education is the key to poverty,” said Governor Dominguez. <br />
<br />
“Our SEF (Special Education Fund) is so small, but we do not stop there,” the governor said. The provincial government has fielded 250 new teachers who are mostly assigned to schools in far-flung barangays.<br />
<br />
Dominguez said the province will also identify schools mostly populated by indigenous children where it can build boarding houses with the teachers as their surrogate parents.<br />
<br />
The provincial government, according to the tripartite agreement, “shall conceptualize and design the project as part of the QUEST Program” while the DepEd “shall implement, mobilize and evaluate the progress and impact of the school wide parent mentoring.”<br />
<br />
The Chiongbian Group of Companies “shall provide the necessary funding requirement and assistance for the full implementation of the project.”<br />
<br />
Prizes for the day-long games and activities such as books and home appliances were donated by Roy Chiongbian, Alcantara Foundation, Sagittarius Mines Incorporated, and Smart Communications. (Russtum G. Pelima/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE) </div>

Blaan is the name of the people and the language of the largest indigenous group in Sarangani that finally sought indigenized curriculum from the Department of Education.<br /><br />“Basically, MTB-MLE is integrating the indigenous culture in the regular education curriculum using the first language (Blaan),” DepEd- Sarangani division language coordinator Elizabeth Torres said.<br /><br />As an example, Torres said teachers can teach the English alphabet in Blaan accent and intonation and then do it in English as an international language.<br /><br />“MTB-MLE also includes teaching traditional practices that have cultural significance to them.”<br />Part of the indigenized curriculum through MTB-MLE is the integration of Blaan’s Tabih (traditional clothing), dances and songs to the pupils.<br /><br />“Sarangani has three variations of the Blaan language from the three municipalities of Glan, Malapatan and Malungon. We will also come up with a phrase book and try to investigate their differences,” Torres added.<br /><br />Lamlifew has a women’s association aimed at the preservation and development of their cultural heritage and traditional handicrafts.<br /><br />Lamlifew as a complete elementary started in 1997 with teachers come and go because of their inadequacy in number and their willingness to be assigned to far-flung areas.<br /><br />The school was built in 1982, then a primary school, through the effort of tribal leader Kalingo Maluma who brought the proposal to Malacanang by himself. Loida Esperanza became the first school head of the school in 1997.<br /><br />Malungon West District supervisor Nora Nerpiol said the education department has been supporting the school since then through physical and academic means. Lamlifew has the most number of professionals in Barangay Datal Tampal.<br /><br />Board member Eleanor Saguiguit said the Growth with Equity in Mindanao- (GEM) is on its way for the construction of a footbridge along Bluan river in front of the school where 98 percent of the pupils are crossing everyday to get to school.<br /><br />“We will also look for partners for the community to fund their traditional craftsmanship like basket-making and beads making,” Saguiguit said.<br /><br />Saguiguit recalled the village, roughly 1,600 hectares of pasture land, was given to her as a dowry by her uncle-in- law when she got married in 1977. She afforded to refuse ownership of the land after seeing the presence of the community there, she said. <br /><br />In 2007, the province’s Indigenous People’s Development Program (IPDP) helped Lamlifew build a living museum and identified Lamlifew Elementary School as a School of Living Tradition (SLT).<br /><br />Rosie Alcantara Dominguez, mother of Governor Migs Dominguez, sponsored the technology transfer of silk weaving by Malaysian expert weavers to the Lamlifew Women’s Association.<br /><br />In 2009, Beth Ditan, a master in the art of beads making from the community, taught Grades V and VI pupils the traditional craftsmanship. Japanese anthropologist Taku Kawamuta later funded the materials for beads making and traditional clothing after seeing the children in the internet.<br /><br />With the MTB-MLE, the school will have a once-a- week IP day with community elders to teach the children songs, dances and handicrafts.

This is an agro-forestry project by the DENR and Conal so with this, I thank the Conal Holdings (Corporation) for their concern to environment,” he added.<br /><br />“There are 14,000 hectares of watershed area in Maasim that needs to be rehabilitated,” Conal project assurance manager Rommel Tomas Falgui said.<br /><br />“7,220 hectares will be Conal’s reforestation project and 280 hectares we intended for the riverbank rehabilitation.”<br /><br />The day was the turn-over ceremony of the two-classroom building to the Department of Education as “A Gift of donation from Conal to the Children of Langaran”.<br /><br />In October last year, Conal started constructing a primary school in Langaran and another one in Lebe in partnership with the local government, after finding significant statistics of children not attending school.<br /><br />“We are very happy that Conal and the Alcantara help us to have a school here in Langaran,” Kablacan barangay captain Allan Ambrad said. Neighboring Sitio Kyumad in barangay Amsipit has a complete elementary school but ten kilometers away from the community.<br /><br />Langaran is a community of the indigenous Blaan and Tboli. The school site was donated by Eyoy Malo, a native of the place. Very remote to the town site at 22 kilometers from the main road, it is seldom reached by transportation and upland products are brought to the market by horse.<br /><br />Langaran is 870 meters above sea level and the climate is still cold at high noon. The primary school has 117 Grade I pupils.<br /><br />“I want to be an engineer someday and work in the city to help my parents,” 16-year old Grade I pupil Sadam Ontong said. Sadam’s parents plow a small farm planted with cassava and corn.<br />Three other 15 years old are among the 117 pupils attending Grade I in Langaran Primary School.<br /><br />“Without the Conal, we don’t have a school here,” mayor Jose Zamorro said. Assistant Schools Division superintendent Isagani Cruz said DepEd- Sarangani will build an additional school building here next year.<br /><br />Conrado Ladislawa and Alcantara Foundation, Incorporated, donated school uniform for the pupils last Christmas. Mahintana Foundation will donate chairs for the classrooms.<br />Langaran has 12 surrounding communities benefiting the Conal school. The school site is overlooking a portion of the Seguil riverbank rehabilitation area.<br /><br />During the day, Conal and local officials led pupils to the ceremonial planting of 50 mahogany seedlings from Mahintana Foundation at the forest gutters near the school site.<br /><br />Falgui said Conal will sponsor parent mentoring sessions in partnership with the province’s Quality Education for Sarangani Today (QUEST) to maximize community participation for the education of their children.
