TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, April 25 (PIA)–Pormal nang gilusad sa gobyerno ang K to 12 basic education program sa usa ka seremonya sa Malakanyang kagahapon.
Gipangunahan ni Presidente Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino ang ceremonial turnover sa curriculum alang sa Grade 1 ug Grade 7 sa pipila ka piniling estudyante sa elementary ug high school.
Kumbinsido ang Presidente nga mas mahimong competitive na ang mga tinun-an ug mas daling makakita og trabaho tungod sa K to 12 basic education.
Sa K to 12 program, madugangan og duha ka tuig ang basic education o aduna nay Grade 11 ug Grade 12 o senior high school diin andam nang motrabaho ang makahuman sa Grade 12.
Ipatuman na ang bag-ong kurikulum sa tanang publikong elementary ug high school sa tibuok nasud karong school year 2012-2013.
Matud pa ni Department of Education Secretary Armin Luistro nga dili pa perpekto ang bag-ong sistema apan giingong i-monitor sa buhatan ang unang tuig sa implementasyon niini aron makita ang mga angay pang i-improve.
Giingong tungod sa bag-ong teknolohiya, angay mosunod na ang Pilipinas sa pagpalambo sa edukasyon ilabi na nga ang atong nasud na lamang sa Asya ang adunay 10-years basic education.
Giseguro usab ni Luistro nga wala nay kakulangan sa mga libro ug lingkuranan sa mga classroom sa pagbukas sa klase sa Hunyo. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, April 25 (PIA)–Giseguro karon sa Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) nga adunay igong pondo ang gobyerno aron bayaran ang Hacienda Luisita Incorporated, agig pagsunod sa gitakda sa Supreme Court nga just compensation.

Kalabot niini, giseguro usab ni Sec. Delos Reyes nga agig pagsunod sa CARP law, giingong makalaum ang mga mag-uuma og “support services” gikan sa gobyerno.
Samtang gipahinumdoman usab sa opisyal nga base sa gitakda sa balaod, dili mahimong ibaligya sa mga farmer-beneficiaries ang madawat nilang bahin sa yuta sulod sa 10 ka tuig. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III cited four Filipinos for their compassion and dedication to their work as caregivers for choosing to remain and take care of their patients at the height of the nuclear disaster scare following the 9.1 magnitude earthquake that devastated Japan in March 2011.
In his speech at the 2nd Ministerial Meeting of the Abu Dhabi Dialogue held at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza in Pasay City on Thursday, the President hailed the caregivers for showing to the world that “wherever Filipinos have work, they have been a force for good.”
“They (Filipinos) have had a positive effect on their host countries, contributing their caring and nurturing characteristics to their new environments,” the President said.
“One of the examples I can think of is during the height of the tragedy in Fukushima, several brave, compassionate Filipino caregivers and nurses refused to abandon their patients at the height of the crisis,” he added.
The four Filipino caregivers, who have been called the “Fukushima Heroes,” are Gemma Juanay, Juliet Tobay, Sandra Otacan and Mercedes Joie Aquino.
They were working in the institution for the elderly located in Fukushima Prefecture, some distance away from a no-go zone declared by the Japanese government as an aftermath of the East Japan earthquake and the devastation wrought by the tsunami of March 11, 2011.
Despite imminent danger and risk of nuclear radiation, the four caregivers Juanay, Tobay, Otacan and Aquino chose to remain in their jobs and continue to provide care and companionship to their elderly Japanese patients. (PCOO)

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, April 19 (PIA)–Giingong mihina ang pag-angkon sa China sa gi-ilogang teritoryo sa Scarborough Shoal, human gibasura niini ang pagpa-ubos sa arbitration process.
Sa pahayag ni Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) spokesman Raul Hernandez, gitumbok sa opisyal nga pinaagi lamang sa International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) mahatagan og katin-awan kun kinsa ang adunay soberinya sa maong teritoryo.
Una niini, padayon nang gipadaplin sa China ang imbitasyon sa Pilipinas nga dalhon sa international tribunal ang pagresolbar sa nahitabong standoff sa Scarborough Shoal.
Sa usa ka pahayag, gipaabot ni Chinese embassy spokesperson Zhang Hua nga giingong mas gilauman sa China nga tinud-on sa Pilipinas ang nahiunang kasabotan nga ipaagi sa usa ka “friendly-consultation” ang isyu tali sa duha ka nasud ug dili una abrihan ang pultahan alang sa third party.
Nagtuo pa ang Chinese government nga mahimong mas komplikado ang sitwasyon kun tugotan ang pagsulod sa ITLOS sa giingong one-on-one dispute sa Scarborough Shoal ug ubang gi-ilogang teritoryo sa West Philippine Sea. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)
DOH nipasidaan sa mga sakit nga makuha tungod sa grabeng kainit
TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, April 19 (PIA)–Nipasidaan ang Department of Health (DOH) sa nagkalain-laing matang sa sakit nga posibleng mo-atake partikular na ang heatstroke dala sa grabeng kainit sa panahon.
Matud pa ni Dr. Lyndon Lee Suy sa Department of Health (DOH), adunay natural nga pamaagi ang lawas sa tawo nga maka-adjust sa init sa panahon apan moabot ang higayon nga dili na makaya niini ang taas nga temperatura.
Giingong heatstroke ang unang moigo tungod sa init nga panahon.
Sigun pa kang Suy, unang senyales sa heatstroke ang kakulang na og tubig sa lawas, makabati og pagka-uhaw nga kun dili madali, mahimong musangpot sa pagluya, pagkalipong o ang uban mawad-an sa panimuot nga mahimong madayonan na.
Gipasabot ni Suy nga bisan dili direktang naa sa ilawom sa init sa adlaw, mahimo pa gihapon nga mahimong biktima sa heatstroke sama na lamang sa mga naa sa sulod sa usa ka lugar nga walay maayong ventilation.
Sa mga skin diseases, daku ang posibilidad nga makakuha og bungang-adlaw ilabi na ang mga bata.
Gitambagan usab ni Suy ang mga mogawas taliwala sa init sa adlaw nga mogamit og sunblock isip proteksyon.
Maayo usab nga tagaan og pagtagad ang mga pagkaon nga daling mapan-us tungod gihapon sa grabeng kainit sa panahon sama na lamang sa mga pagkaon nga gitunuan, adunay sagol nga kamatis ug uban pa.
Base sa pasidaan sa Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), padayon nga makasinati og init nga panahon ang nasud hangtud Mayo. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

THE Aquino government renewed its commitment to create a better economic environment in the country for the benefit of all, especially the poor.
On Tuesday, the Palace said ensuring a controllable inflation rate remains a top priority of the Aquino administration.
“Maintaining a manageable inflation environment remains a priority of the Aquino administration, and we are glad to see our efforts bearing fruit.
The April 4 release of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas states: “Year-on-year headline inflation continued to decelerate in March to 2.6 percent from 2.7 percent in February,” Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a statement on Tuesday.
These figures means that the country remains below the government’s target inflation range of 3 to 5 percent for 2012 and that the March rate is the lowest since September of 2009. The February rate on the other hand is second to Malaysia’s 2.2 inflation rate in the Southeast Asian region, Lacierda said.
The Philippines was also able to out-perform even the developed countries like Singapore which posted 4.6 percent, Lacierda said in the statement.
“The government nonetheless remains sensitive to public sentiment as regards inflation, and continues its efforts to ensure that global trends do not adversely affect our people, especially those in the margins,” he said.
The pursuit of inclusive growth will continue to be the cornerstone of the Aquino government’s economic agenda, Lacierda said, assuring the public that the administration will sustain its efforts so that no one is left behind as the country advance toward equitable progress. (PCOO)

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, April 17 (PIA)–Si Vice-President Jejomar Binay ang nag-unang endorser sa mga mokandidatong senador sa 2013 elections.
Sa survey sa Pulse Asia niadtong Pebrero 26 hangtud Marso 9, 2012, migawas nga 73% o 7 sa 10 ka respondents ang nag-ingon nga ibotar nila ang senatorial candidate ang i-endorso ni Binay. 20% usab ang nag-ingon nga dili nila ibotar ang endorsement sa bise-presidente.
Sa susamang survey, migawas usab nga 66% ang nag-ingon nga ibotar nila ang kandidatong suportahan ni Presidente Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III samtang 25% ang dili mobotar niini.
51% o kapin sa katunga sa mga respondent usab ang ibotar ang suportahang kandidato ni kanhi Presidnete Joseph Estrada; 39% usab ang nag-ingon nga dili mobotar sa kandidato sa kanhi presidente.
Labing gamay nga tsansa ang makuha sa mga suportahan ni kanhi Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo diin 7% o wala pa’y isa sa matag 10 ka Pinoy ang mobotar sa mga kandidato ni CGMA. Naa sa 82% usab ang miingon nga dili nila ibotar ang mga manok ni Arroyo.
Matud pa sa Pulse Asia, consistent si Binay nga adunay pinakataas nga trust ratings ug pinakataas nga approval rating mao nga siguradong kusog usab sa katawhan ang mga kandidatong i-endorso niini.
Bisan pa niini, wala kini nagpasabot nga ibotar sa katawhan ang bisan kinsa lamang nga suportado ni Binay ug PNoy.
Gitataw sa Pulse Asia nga walay epekto kun dili matunong ang endorser ug kandidato tungod kay mas kahibalo na karon ang mga botante. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)
