PAHAYAG UKOL SA PANINIRANG PURI GAMIT ANG ALEGASYONG PLAGIARISM
August 21, 2024

Mga kababayan,

Napakadaling sumulat ng maikling kwento batay sa sariling karanasan, hindi na kailangang mangopya pa. Ang proyekto ay para mahikayat ang mga bata na mahalin ang pagbabasa at sumulat ng sarili nilang kwento.

Hindi ang libro ang problema ng bayan kundi ang kahinaan sa pagbabasa ng ating kabataan.

Abangan ninyo ang susunod kong isusulat na libro tungkol sa pagtataksil ng isang kaibigan.

Shukran.

𝐎𝐖𝐖𝐀 𝐑𝐖𝐎𝟐 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, Regional Welfare Office 2 (OWWA RWO2) successfully conducted a Staff Development Activity on August 22 to 24, 2024, at the Blue Coast Hotel in Santa Ana, Cagayan. This engaging event aimed to foster a spirit of unity and camaraderie among staff members while also providing valuable learning opportunities.

The activity kicked off with a lively Sports Festival, featuring bowling. The beach volleyball & badminton competitions followed. The energy was high as staff members from different teams donned their team colors and displayed their athletic prowess. To add to the excitement, a cheerdance competition saw enthusiastic presentations by all staff, showcasing their teamwork and creativity.

The learning component of the event focused on enhancing staff's knowledge and skills in crucial areas. Ms. Juana Nobleza, OWWO III, led a session on Customer Service, emphasizing the importance of providing exceptional service to all clients of the agency.
Ms. Nobleza's presentation went beyond theoretical concepts, delving into real-life experiences shared by employees. This interactive approach allowed for open discussion and valuable insights into best practices for handling customer inquiries and concerns.

Ms. Chanda Api, SWOV, then facilitated a session on Team Building. This insightful discussion enlightened staff members on the importance of each individual's role within the agency, regardless of their employment status (regular or contract of service).

Ms. Api emphasized the need for management to recognize the value each staff member brings to the table. She challenged participants to brainstorm ways to foster a culture of growth within the agency, even in the face of challenges related to job security. Additionally, she highlighted the importance of fostering understanding and collaboration within the office environment.

The Staff Development Activity culminated in competition. The final results saw the white team emerge victorious, followed by the blue and red teams in first and second place, respectively.

While the Sports Festival provided a platform for competition, it served a more significant purpose. The playful rivalry fostered a sense of togetherness, allowing staff members to connect and interact with colleagues from different departments outside of their usual work routines. This emphasis on collaboration is key to building a strong team environment where everyone feels valued and contributes to the overall success of OWWA RWO2. (owwa Cagayan valley region 2)

5th Infantry "Star" Division Philippine Army

🅱🅰🆂🅰🅷🅸🅽|| 𝐁𝐔𝐇𝐀𝐘 𝐀𝐓 𝐊𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍, 𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐘𝐀 𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐀 𝐊𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐍 𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐀 𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐎𝐒 𝐒𝐔𝐑

𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙥 𝙈𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙧 𝙁 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙖 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙯, 𝙐𝙥𝙞, 𝙂𝙖𝙢𝙪, 𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙖. Ang nagyaring labanan sa Pilar, Abra malapit sa hangganan ng Sta Maria, Ilocos Sur ay higit pa sa labanan sa pagitan ng NPA at kasundaluhan. Laban ito ng marubdob na pagtutol ng mamamayan sa panggugulo at panghihimasok ng teroristang CPP-NPA sa kanilang tahimik na pamayanan. Naunang nakasagupa ng 50th Infantry Battalion ang mga NPA sa Barangay Nagcanasan, Pilar, Abra dakong 11:50 ng umaga noong Abril 3, 2024.

Ayon sa ulat, umabot sa 7 palit-putukan o labanan ang naitala at tumagal ito hanggang alas-7 ng gabi ng nasabing araw. Dahil sa maaaring maidulot na pagkakaipit sa labanan ng mga mamamayan, agad na nakipag ugnayan ang 501st Infantry Brigade sa lokal na pamahalaan ng Pilar, Abra para mailikas sa ligtas na lugar ang mga apektadong mamamayan.

Batay sa paunang pagsisiyasat, umaabot sa humigit na 30 armadong NPA na mga lider at kasapi ng Ilocos Cordillera Regional Committee (ICRC) ang nakasagupa ng mga kasundaluhan na nasukol mula sa provincial tri-boundaries ng Abra-Apayao-Kalinga. Ang mga teroristang ito ay pinamumunuan ni Ma. Luisa Purcray na tubong Northern Mindanao.

Nagsagawa naman ang Philippine Air Force ng close air support para tulungan ang kasundaluhan na siyang nakapagbibigay ng wastong lokasyon at kinaroroonan ng armadong grupo. Isa rin itong paraan para matiyak ang kaligtasan ng kasundaluhan lalo na sa mga lugar kung saan nadiskubre ang kuta at imbakan ng baril at iba pang gamit pangdigma tulad ng Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

Nauna na ring naiulat na may isang nasugatan sa panig ng kasundaluhan. Nakatulong ang close air support para sa maayos at ligtas na evacuation ng sugatang sundalo. Sa ngayon ay nasa ligtas at maayos na itong kalagayan sa V. Luna Medical Center.

Minsan nang nalinlang ang mga mamamayan sa matatamis at mapagkunwaring linya ng CPP-NPA-NDF. Ang mga pangako at kasinungalingan ng mga ito ay nagsilbing lason at bangungot sa taongbayan. Sa mahabang pagkakahimbing, sa tulong ng pamahalaan, nagising sa katotohanan ang mga tao sa Abra at Ilocos Sur. Nagkaisa sila para itakwil ang teroristang komunistang grupo sa kanilang bayan. Dahil dito, nadeklara ang buong Ilocos Region bilang Insurgency-Free. At hindi na muling papayag na makagambala ang mga teroristang grupo sa lugar.

Kasabay na pinaigting na pagtugis sa teroristang grupo ay ang taos puso at matapang na kampanya ng 5th Infantry Division na lupigin ang mga armadong grupo sa lugar na kanyang nasasakupan upang mapanatili ang tahimik na pamumuhay ng mga mamamayan.

Kaagapay ang mga mamamayan at Abra PTF-ELCAC sa hangaring ito, hindi titigil ang 501st Infantry Brigade sa ilalim ng 5ID sa paglulunsad ng magkasabay na combat at social pressures. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit sunud sunod ang pagbabalik-loob ng mga nalinlang na kasapi ng teroristang grupo. Ang ibang pilit lumaban, bala ang naging katapat.

Hindi madali ang iwanan ang pamilya at sumuong sa labanan. Buhay at kamatayan ang nakataya dito subalit para sa kasundaluhan, nakahanda silang gawin ito para sa bayan at para sa sambayanang Pilipino buhay man ang maging kapalit.

Muli ay nanawagan ang mga kasundaluhan sa pakikiisa ng lahat ng sector ng ating lipunan sampu ng buong sambayanan na magkaisa sa ating iisang adhikain na tuldukan ang armadong pakikibaka upang magkaroon ng katahimikan at kaunlaran. (5th I.D)
