Gov. Adiong’s son urges suspects to yield

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (MindaNews)—The son of Lanao del Sur. Gov. Mamintal “Bombit” Adiong Jr. has called on suspects behind the ambush of his father’s convoy to surrender and avoid encounter with law enforcers.

“If you’ve been named suspect but you have nothing to do with [the ambush], then why are you hiding?”

Vice Gov. Mohammad Khalid Rakiin Adiong said during an interview with reporters at the Polymedic Medical Plaza here Sunday afternoon.

“But if you’re involved, if I were you, you better surrender because the outcome will be the same. Everyone will come looking for you, not just our family, but more so the government,” he added. The vice governor said they are “leaving everything to

the police because we trust the government.”

He noted that the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Government in Muslim Mindanao issued a manhunt operation against the suspects.

He likewise urged families of the suspects to report to authorities their whereabouts so nobody would get hurt.

Vice Gov. Adiong also urged witnesses to come forward and help authorities.

An idea worth exploring

IT’S been several months homicide case against a medical doctor working as a non-uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police in Camp City. Originally, the police and the National Bureau of a murder case against the doctor after he was pinpointed as the one who shot dead a young student outside a local bar. It was, however, down-graded by the Citycal’s personal assessment of the evidence and testimonies of witnesses.

The down-graded resolution was later appealed bysidering the respondent's personality, the public eagerly by the victim’s family.

The old man and the mountain

“NINETEEN forever”, so sang my favorite English punkista, Joe Jackson, a long time ago. While there may be some truth to the saying 'the mind never really grows old,' I wish the same applies to the body. All told, the number nineteen as one's age is not forever and it’s an impossible mindset to have, especially when pushing 68 in less than a week.

Our family’s much-awaited stay-cation over the last weekend had brought me back to one of my youth’s favorite haunts, the great outdoors. Being away from the city and now surrounded by the bounty of mother nature at this time has all but taken me back to the many lost trails I have long shelved into memory.

Its environment, with its thick rolling white mist, biting cold, pouring rain and whistling wind, is best enjoyed

through the deep forest to set camp near Mt. Apo. While there, we wore nothing but smiles as we watched, amazed, as our bodies poured out thick steam while we ran like hippies under a heavy downpour. Woe to the Beatles; it

Many years later, as part of research work, I joined an eight-month survey of ancestral domains in Zamboanga del Sur, deep into the secondary forest and lived with then scaled our highest peak, marveled at its grandeur and even promised to return when we had a child or two.

Though I could no longer claim this recent trip to be a triumphant return (as a prodigal son to an understanding and forgiving parent), the overwhelming feeling of “I missed this” had never been more obvious from the start.

The side effects of aching joints and lower back, although still tolerable (or mostly absent) in our younger years, may not have been forgiving, yet in the end, it was all worth it.

For city dwellers who might have never ventured further than the next block, there lies a world of difference between our cities’ oxygen supply variety and the fresh air only the mountains can deliver.

The overall spectacle from a lofty perch is another unique pleasure to feast on. While the weekend’s panoramic view of the surrounding mountains may not have been much like Mt. Apo's, it’s still like being up in a plane or admiring the world below through a Philippine Eagle's eyes.

Slips and falls and hurting backs matter not when equated with nature’s beauty. It will always be breathslopes as though to conquer and capture its essence. As a Tibetan saying puts it, the earth is patient. The Blues Travelers’ tune brings it up a notch: The mountains win again.

EDITORS’ NOTE:

On the other hand, another sensational case occurred shortly before the close of 2022 (right after Christmas). A young budding businesswoman was shot dead by motorcycle-riding gunmen right in front of her residence later the NBI, had a hard time identifying the suspected gunman and the motorbike driver since the two were wearing closed helmets when they committed the crime.

However, the public has yet to hear about any progress in the two cases we mentioned earlier. But we are certain that the suspects of the two cases are now enjoying their freedom, seemingly mocking whatever remains of the country’s justice system.

In the earlier case, we mentioned the doctor accused could possibly be basking on his temporary liberty after he was allowed to post bail by virtue of the down-grading of the crime from murder to homicide, a crime which is, under our law, bailable.

There were several sensational and controversial cases like the two we mentioned here in the distant and nearer past. Most of those cases were literally dumped down the drain of oblivion. The public is only made aware of the cases’ actual status when these are either dismissed, or the suspects are convicted after years of litigation. In fact, there were, and some still are, detained for several years more than the actual length of time of imprisonment as a sentence for their crimes committed. Remember the Felonia? The public forgot it until a decision acquitting years. All the while, Felonia was in jail for nine years of

The Better Stress Management Option

MATALAM, North Cotabato (MindaNews) – A physician once told me, "He who can manage stress better lives longer." It makes sense. I am no health authority and so I take every physician's word hook, line and sinker.

Stress seems to be everywhere: in the workplace, in market place and even at home. But what is STRESS? It is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.

Most people ignore stress for the simple reason that they know nothing about it. And so, they live with it for a time. They take notice when something gets wrong with them and more often when it is quite late.

In a new U.S. study, SMILING, even fake or forced

Researchers at the University of Kansas subjected college students to anxiety-inducing tasks and found out that those who smiled through them appeared to have less stress.

Gone were the times when stress management was as complicated as stress itself. It used to be considered a serious illness even if it is just a state of mind. And because it was an illness, some health authorities and psychologists used to prescribe the elaborate healing process. Maybe

THINK TALK:

MAUGAN P. MOSAID

YES when it is already a severe case.

A few years ago, doctors and psychologists used to prescribe elaborate curing process or routine which they call stress management. By "management," it connotes some kind of balancing act, "do's and don’ts" to follow, and in some cases, depending on the gravity of the case, mental conditioning activities like "yoga" and other mental calisthenics. But sometimes, too much preoccupation with managing, conquering, or transformation involved in the stress management process can paradoxically create more stress.

The best stress management, therefore, is "adaptive" rather than "pallative." When you know you are under and/or engage in funny, light moments with your favorite friends. Just make sure it is not the "stress-eating" thing where you try to conquer stress by eating your favorite foods and consuming as much as you can.

The smile-it-out-and-it's-gone therapy makes it much

more convenient aside from the fact that it is a time and money-saving alternative.

But if you are not yet there, and as a matter of prevention, try to enjoy what you have to do every day, especially when you know no one else will do it.

For example, when a baby comes to you crying for some reason or no reason at all, it is stressful indeed when you think you are distracted or disturbed. But when you feel it is an opportunity to get a little respite from what you are doing and take time to enjoy with the baby for the little time he needs from you and hug and kiss him again, then it is a different soothing feeling altogether.

When you know the difference, you can easily transform. When you know the transformation is natural and effortless, you can be in it - nothing new, nothing stressful.

So smile, even if it is a fake or forced smile. It makes you feel better and drives the doctor away.

Finding the Indigenous Voice in Environmental Journalism: Lessons from Kenya

MATI CITY, Davao Oriental (MindaNews)—Indigenous peoples (IPs) have existed and taken care of the environment long before I even had the mental agency to articulate my thoughts into words. Unfortunately, they are often left out of discourses regarding their communities.

In the Philippines, a country dubbed as one of the most dangerous places for environmental defenders, many narratives perpetuated by media surrounding IPs are often anchored on their struggles. While this may not entirely be a wrong practice, it becomes myopic when they are reduced to mere portraits of poverty who need saving.

Moreover, there is abundant coverage of climate change impacts or displacement from ancestral domains, but rarely do we consume media that are solutions-based and dig deep into the social, historical, and cultural underpinnings of these issues.

We’ve heard news about indigenous activists being jailed, being ravaged by mining operations. In many instances, this type of reporting explicates the cause of a problem and ends with the presentation of its evident effects.

But what about what happens after?

This question was among the many discussions that were central to my three-day training last February 21-23, 2023, in Nairobi, Kenya. The event gathered 10 journalists from around the world to learn more about effective and ethical indigenous environmental reporting.

Indigenizing environmental journalism

In her talk on indigenous journalism, Zeynab Wandati, an award-winning science journalist, underscored the power

ROUGH ...(frompage6)

his life wasted.

We are just wondering aloud whether soon one, two a bill in Congress mandating the police, the prosecutors’ the status of certain kinds of crimes brought to its fore for disposition, say every three months, just to apprise the public of what is being done by the above-mentioned agencies on the cases concerned. This will surely be one way of showing the government’s much-desired transparency to the wary public.

whether there is some kind of Constitutional bar on such a law should a bill to the effect pass the two Houses of Congress.

more than willing to do such research. What is the P50 President if they will not do something more? For certain too, the Congressmen’s staffs are surely not far behind their Senate counterparts. Now is the time for them to work more productively for their employers – the Filipino people.

COMMENTARY:

PAUL MART JEYAND J. MATANGCAS

of media in presenting underreported environmental stories surrounding IPs. When disasters happen, we are quick to label them as a natural occurrence without trying to understand the human intervention that could have exacerbated the phenomenon.

For Wandati, we should broaden our analysis on these matters, and ask ourselves questions like: “Is it exclusively a natural disaster or is it man-made?” She highlighted that as journalists, we must always be critical in our reportage.

This example made me think about COVID-19 which disproportionately impacted marginalized communities at an unprecedented rate. Many claimed that the pandemic caused hospital infrastructures around the globe to fail. But was this solely because of the coronavirus or did it merely expose the fragile healthcare systems that were already on the brink of collapse from the very beginning?

A trip to the “lungs” of Nairobi

While I was lining up at the airport, an immigration asked, “Why here, of all places?” At that point, I found it Kenya? Why did the event have to be in this country?

I got my answers in a forest.

to the Karura Forest, an upland urban forest dubbed as the “lungs” of Nairobi and is home to an abundant collection interesting for me was learning about its tumultuous past.

Karura Forest once experienced crime, land grabbing, and violence. On January 8, 1999, Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and her cohorts were beaten by armed guards for demanding government accountability and protesting harmful state-sanctioned activities in the protected land. The attack was met with international outrage and soon after, widespread protests ensued.

Today, the forest remains one the largest of only three main gazetted forests in Nairobi and serves as a lifeline of the city’s biodiversity. It employs hundreds of people, houses thousands of tourists, and continues promoting inclusive indigenous conservation and environmental protection practices. It is unfortunate, however, that the majestic forest is not immune to the jarring impact of climate change as manifested in the drought experienced by the once-alive Lily Lake.

When I asked Ruth Aura, a Mombasa-based journalist, what the world can learn from Kenya and its treatment of Karura Forest, she answered, “We’re not perfect, but we’re trying. As journalists, we must make sure that indigenous peoples are always included in these discussions since they are the ones who are heavily affected by environmental matters. I think that’s what the world can learn from us.”

(Un)muted voices

In one of the sessions, we had an activity where two identify which photo “looked” indigenous.

I admitted it or not, my mind instinctively selected the photo that conformed with how the media often portrays what an indigenous person is supposed to look like. But deep inside, I was deliberately trying to shed that internal bias because IPs aren’t limited to arbitrary notions of what is indigenouspassing or not. They come in all shapes and sizes.

So, I answered, “neither.” I was wrong.

The task was a lesson on perception, and according to Stella Paul, an international multimedia journalist, “perception does not always have to be the truth.”

This is where journalists come into the picture—to go further and beyond.

In every journalism workshop that I have attended, there is one famous quote that has always been cited repeatedly by speakers, albeit in different variations: “If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the window

As journalists, our work is anchored on facts, especially at a time of massive disinformation in public and digital it is indeed raining or not, let us be reminded that our role as journalists is to amplify the voices of those we claim to serve. We are not the voice of the voiceless nor are we the representatives of disenfranchised communities because they’ve always had a voice, the problem lies within institutions that

It’s about time we listened.

Onward, upward

While it can be argued that many of the things we learned could have been done online, with the increasing presence of webinars and Zoom-based workshops, I strongly believe that the screen pales in comparison to the actual feeling of being immersed with people whose stories and experiences transcend language and distance. From learning Fijian phrases to tasting Nepali snacks, to bargaining for cheap prices at the Maasai Market, the three-day workshop proved to be more than just a classroom-based learning experience.

But one of the greatest takeaways from my short stay in Nairobi is that the future of indigenous environmental journalism is bright. As I go back to the Philippines, it brings me comfort to know that while a handful of challenges make young, smart, and ambitious journalists from around the world who continue to hold the line.

MANILA – Apart from better understanding Japanese culture, learning Nihongo could give Filipino youth the “competitive edge“ when applying for scholarships and jobs in Japan, Ambassador Kazuhiko Koshikawa said Saturday.

Speaking at the Nihongo Fiesta 2023, the envoy told the more than a hundred Filipino Nihongo learners that they also have the potential to bridge the two countries closer by studying the language.

“Being able to communicate in Japanese makes you stand out and gives you a competitive edge when applying for Japanese jobs and scholarships. It can also break cultural barriers and allows you to establish meaningful connections and friendships with Japanese people and fellow Nihongo learners,” he said.

“I encourage you to continue to study the Japanese language. It may be the rewards make the effort worthwhile,” he added.

Every year, Japan offers various scholarship and teaching exchange programs to Filipino nationals.

Among these is the Japan Exchange and Teaching program which employs a successful applicant either as an assistant language teacher

or sports exchange advisor in Japan.

Shanadey Fernandez of the De La Salle UniversityCollege of Liberal Arts, one of the teachers who participated in the event, relayed language is, seeing that it could provide more opportunities.

She advises aspiring Nihongo teachers to “remember how you started liking the Japanese.”

“Keep that in mind so that you can express that to your students. Without the love and the fun and excitement -- these feelings -- I think it would be really hard to study the language,” she said.

“So as a teacher, let's refresh ourselves always, go back and look back to how you started so that the students would also feel how important the Japanese language is and how it will help them in the future,” she added.

The day-long language festival at a mall in Mandaluyong City featured a Nihongo speech contest by Filipino students and professionals.

The event also showcased art and cultural activities, including a taiko (Japanese percussion instrument) performance by Leonard Eto. (PNA)
