“...affluent countries have a moral re-

sponsibility to contribute to the less ad-

vantaged countries and civil society or-

ganizations have important role to play

in providing assistance to people in de-

veloping countries..”-AFFLIP

Anchored to the principles that people in affluent countries have a moral responsibility to contribute to the less advantaged countries and civil society organizations have im-portant role to play in providing as-sistance to people in developing countries ,the Australian Foundation for Fostering Learning in the Philip-pines (AFFLIP), a non- profit Founda-tion based in Canberry, South Aus-tralia has been magnanimously ex-tending immense involvement to the educational development of the 15 schools of Talomo District, Division of Davao City.

Since 2010, as AFFLIP assis-tance commenced in Talomo District, series of activities have been chan-nelled under its Six Flagship Pro-grams: Health and Nutrition, Profes-sional Development , Literacy, Schools Network, Scholarship Grant and the newest, Outdoor Learning Environment Program (OLEP) which is piloted in A.

Overwhelming support from AFFLIP pours down in Talomo District

Last February 2016, Mr. Alastair “ Ali” Douglas and Mr. Max Green-wood came to Talomo District not only for a visit but to bring as well the approved budget of the proposals for the Health and Nutrition Program of several schools. Besides, report of accomplishments were also done by the respective program chairpersons.

Prof. Reid announced in his visit the approved travel of 11 people to Adelaide, South Australia on Octo-ber 22-November 2, 2016, all ex-penses shall be shouldered by AF-FLIP.

It is foreseen that at the begin-ning of calendar year 2017, another

set of AFFLIP Board Members will visit Talomo District and the second batch of School Administrators and School Net-work Coordinators will have their educa-tional tour in South Australia on the same year.

AFFLIP’s overflowing support rein-forces the district’s pursuit of improving its learners’ academic and non-academic performance leading to the development of lifelong learners. # Aida Placencia

“We all take pride of what this Division has achieved and uphold strong faith on what better we still can do to continue pushing the frontier of knowledge of our dear learners.”-SDS

EDITORIAL TEAM

The growth brought forth by time

gives birth to the uprising demand for

excellence. In light of responding to this

call, the Division of Davao City never

ceases to thrive and yet remains to live by

the vision and mission of the Department

of Education.

I feel a deep sense of gratitude

upon learning how the members of this

institution enthusiastically commit to take

part in our cause of building an innovative

21st century education. I know that it is not

easy to take on this new challenge and yet

everyone has remained zealous as evi-

denced by the progressing implementation

of the different DepEd programs, promis-

ing results, building of partnerships with

stakeholders both from private and public

institutions locally and internationally,

garnering recognitions and rewards for

outstanding performances in many com-

petitions, and taking on initiatives in pur-

suit of making a difference in the lives of

the learners, thereby equipping them to

thrive in this rapidly evolving world.

As one, we all take pride of what this Division has achieved and up-hold strong faith on what better we still can do to continue pushing the frontier of knowledge of our dear learners. Kudos to us!

Why Davao Frontier? This time’s social develop-

ment continues to unfold

challenges for the Depart-

ment of Education. The

demand for quality of edu-

cation in light of the 21st

century continuously

heightens but there is no

getting away with barriers –

resource scarcity, popula-

tion outgrowth, to mention

a few. It is from this prem-

ise that the Division of Da-

vao City is steadily pushed

to be more efficient and

effective in its craft, surpas-

sing any barrier that comes

across its way.

The “Davao Frontier” has been created to showcase how the Division of Davao City steadfastly works with-in and beyond its bounda-ries. Considering the rapid and inevitable evolution of this world, the Davao City Division cannot afford to be passive about its internal and external constraints –it lives to never cease going beyond the limits and un-ravel what is yet to be known, all for the benefit of our learners.

ALS addresses the youth

“ALS a viable alternative to formal education…”.

The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a free

education program implemented by the Depart-

ment of Education (DepEd) under the Bureau of

Alternative Learning System which benefits those

who cannot afford formal schooling and follows

whatever is their available schedule.

The program provides a viable alternative to the existing formal

education instruction, encompassing both the non-formal and

informal sources of knowledge and skills.

Programs are modular and flexible. This means that learning can

take place anytime and anyplace, depending on the convenience

and availability of the learners.

Program, Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC) and the Aboitiz Founda-

tion Incorporated turned-over its first ever Electrical Installation Management

(EIM) Laboratories (E-Labs) at Francisco Bustamante National High School

last July 8.

DLPC and the Aboitiz Foundation Incorporated started their program since

early 1990`s and now reinforcing the K-12 program, granting E-labs to

schools that offer Technical Vocational TVL track especially EIM for Senior

High School.

“We focus on the schools that offer TVL-EIM and your school is one of

those,”DLPC Community Relations Manager Fermin Edillon, “What also made

us decide to choose Bustamante is that this school provides good educational

program.”

Furthermore, Davao Light right now conducts surveys to look for those barrios

and places that still do not have electricity to address and install E-labs in

schools, as part of the company’s projects with the government.

“The owner themselves are very passionate to help especially when it comes to

education,” Mr. Fermin added, “Considering also that we are in need of new

electricians, because who knows, some of you will be working in Davao Light.”

Education Program Supervisor in TLE Dr. Marcelo O. Roco, quipped that as

long as the students` performances are good and the school provides good

electricians DLPC will not hesitate to donate E-labs and even SMAW laborato-

ries.

On the other hand, Bustamanians cheered up upon hearing the announcement

of the AVP for Reputation Enhancement, Rossano Luga, in his speech during

the Turn-over Ceremony that there will be 5 more E-labs to be installed in the

school to complete the 11 E-labs that the company has committed to DepEd.

“ What also made us decide to choose Bustamante is that this school provides good educational program.”, says DLPC and Aboitiz representative.

“...as long as the students` performances are good and the school provides good electricians DLPC will not hesitate to donate E-labs and even SMAW laboratories. “said TLE-EPS.

CID Initiatives focuses on NAT and LAPG

The Curriculum Implementation Division (CID) of this division was passionate to support the schools from elementary and secondary levels found in the bottom list in the National Achievement Test 2015-2016.

For the first time, the whole CID Team composed of Education Program Supervisors, Public Schools Division Supervisors and Coordinators visited these schools of Marilog and Paquibato Districts.

In July 2016, the team also visited Mintal Compre-hensive National High School for the same purpose. The school visits were focused on reviewing the current status of the School NAT and LAPG Results, gathering feedback, conducting self assessment to the stakeholders using SWOT Analysis and providing technical assistance to School Heads and teachers.

The office has conceptualized and initiated the pro-ject called WE ARE ONE with NAMNAM E/S and PANAGA NHS in February 2016. The main goal of the project is to extend support to these schools to help them increase their LAPG and NAT Results in order to meet the 85% Education For All (EFA) target.

In this partnership, the Division LRMDS through the Learning Area Supervisors had provided Learning Exem-plars and Tracking Forms which were used by the pupils during NAT/LAPG Review. School supplies were also dis-tributed to Grade Three and Grade 10 students of Nam-nam E/S and Panaga NHS.

Building partnerships with the Principals, Teachers, Pupils and other stakeholders of Namnam E/S and Panaga NHS and Mintal Comprehensive NHS, will let them realize that the CID of the Division Office is working with them towards increasing their NAT and LAPG Results from bot-tom to the top.

LEARN, EARN, SAVE!

Teaching the students the value of learning a

skill, working hard to earn a living, and saving up for

the future is what we practice in our school.

Being an agricultural school, the Ma. Cristina P. Belcar Agri-

cultural High School offers Agricultural Crop Production NC I.

Our students from this course have their IGP or Income

Generating Projects like watermelon production, school-based bana-

na project in partnership with Fuentespina Malagos Garden Resort,

and the Pinamuwa, an income generating project where agri-crop

students sell ornamental plants from their laboratory. The income of

their IGP will be deposited to their individual passbook or bank ac-

count for their savings. And when they finish the course, their sav-

ings will be given to them as their reward. Because of these projects

headed by their teacher Mirasol H. Gumtang, they were able to get

partners like Wine to Water Philippines (Biosand Filter Philippines),

a non-profit organization which installed water filters to our school

and even in the community and Fuentespina Malagos Garden Resort

Reasearcher who funded the Organic Agriculture Farming. With

these, we are proud to say that our students LEARNED,EARNED,

AND SAVED!

Division of Davao City Schools’ Best Practices Daniel M. Perez Central Elementary School

The faculty and staff of Daniel M. Perez Central Elementary School were very thankful for the op-portunity provided by the Jollibee Group Founda-tion and all those who have recognized the mer-its of the services and ef-forts that the school has rendered to the learners. Such opportunity and recognition provided the school a meritorious re-ward as the grand winner of the 2nd BLT/ SBFP Ex-cellence Awards held at the Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City. The process provided by the BLT program contrib-uted largely to the success of D.M. Perez Elementary School’s feeding initiative. As a result, it was able to hit the target goals in im-proving the overall wel-fare of our pupils through its efficient outline of menus. This achievement is the fruit of hard work, unity, and commitment to advancing the well-being of our students. With our concerted efforts, along with the unwavering sup-port of the Jollibee Group Foundation, we were able to make significant contri-butions for the learners’ benefit. “I am thankful to receive an award from the Jol-libee Group Foundation, especially that I worked with teachers and staff who equally deserve to be also a part of this re-ward. It is nice to know that we, as educators, make a difference in the lives of our students and the community surround-ing them.” said Mrs. Nena P. Laurente , the School Principal III of Daniel M. Perez Central Elementary School.

A Joint effort of DRANHS students and teachers together with the Resources for the Blind, Inc.

Daniel R. Aguinalado National High School (DRANHS) and Resources for the Blind, Inc. (RBI non-

government organization that provides full spectrum of services to people with visual impairment in the

Philippines since 1988 joined forces in celebrating the Sight Saving Month at the Senior High School

Campus on August 31, 2016.


DRANHS together with more than 40 representatives of public and private institu-tions gathered for its first forum. This was conducted to introduce the Adopt A School Program as enacted through Republic Act 8525 and explained further in DepED Order 24 s. 2016 and BIR Regulation No. 10-2003 to encourage the participating institutions to support the Senior High School Program of DRANHS especially in the Immersion of the Grade 12 students in the incoming School Year 2017-2018. This event paved the way for not just understanding the guidelines of the program but also letting them realize how advanta-geous it is for every private institution to as-sist in the implementation of the program. Through the help of speakers from the De-partment of Education (DepED) – Division of Davao City, Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) as well as Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC), the said program was comprehensive-ly presented to the participants. Dr. Arlene Bello-Pernes, Principal IV of DRANHS emphasized how important it is to have such partnership with Stakeholders. She said, “We cannot do all things without you. That is why we are partnering with you be-cause you have the facilities. We have to help one another.” Dr. Mary Joy Simo-ag the Sen-ior High School Focal Person discussed that the stakeholders need not decide on the spot on what they can offer but she stressed that they will continue to knock on their doors and follow-up their willingness to support the school.

More than a Business Enterprise

As the basic tenet of the Senior High School

(SHS) Program is skills development, it is imperative

for any school to have a laboratory equipped with

necessary tools for students to put into practice the

theories and concepts they have learned in class.

In view of this, Francisco Bangoy National High

School (FBNHS) conducted an industry forum on 26

November 2015 to encourage companies to become

partners in strengthening its SHS Program particu-

larly the Technology and Vocational Livelihood (TVL)

course offerings.

DepEd’s Republic Act 8525, also known as

Adopt-a-School Program of 1998, provides tax incen-

tives to business establishments as recognition for

their valuable contribution to the K to 12 Program.

BIR officer John Frivaldo and SGOD Chief Tes-

sie Del Valle led the discussion and ensured

that participants understood the partnership bene-

fits.

As a result that the objectives of the industry forum were well communicated to the participants, the school was able to generate donations from dif-ferent sponsors.
