THE WAY TO LOVING MATHEMATICS
Academicians are one in saying that Mathematics is the Queen of Sciences. Mathematics provides one of the more essential foundations of the learning process. It is indispensable tool in learning the concepts in the fields of science and commerce.
Mathematics is one of the subjects students are afraid of because they find it difficult to comprehend. Lack of interest in this subject and inadequate mathematical skills of the students are the major reasons why their mathematics performance are at low level. It certainly affects not just their academic performance, but also their potential to be great leaders of our country.
The result of 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) showed that students of the Philippines did not perform well in Mathematics, landing at the bottom together with the likes of South Africa, Ghana, and Botswana.
In order to resolve this academic crisis, the Department of Education in partnership with the Mathematics Teachers Association of the Philippines (MTAP) has come up with the tutorial program “THE MTAP-DEPED Saturday Mathematics Program”.
In the Division of San Pablo City, the MTAP-San Pablo Chapter is very active in helping the schools in improving the mathematics performance of their students. According to Christian Lloyd Tan, a 2008 MTAP Regional Champion (Level II) from San Pablo City Science High School, the program helped him a lot in exploring Mathematics and it improved his problem solving skills.
Last July 19, 2008, there was an MTAP fever in the Division of San Pablo City. There was an increased in the number of MTAP training centers and participants in public secondary schools. This indicates that more students are enjoying the program. It shows that the students and their parents believe in the effectiveness of the program in improving their mathematical skills. This also reveals that more students are beginning to enjoy and love Mathematics.(ALBERT T. SAUL/Math Teacher/San Pablo City Science High School)

WALANG BAWAL SA WORKAHOLIC
Kapag likas ang sipag ng isang nilalang kahit may nararamdaman at iyong pagbawalang magpagod, kunti lang maramdamang bumubuti ang kalagayan ng kanyang kalusugan ay patagong kikilos upang gamitin ang pansamantalang kalakasan sa pagnanais na bawiin ang mga araw na para sa kanya’y nasayang. Ang tawag sa kanila’y “workaholic” sapagkat walang bawal sa kanila kung sariling katawan ang humihimok sa isipan na magtrabaho.
Sa nakita ng pitak na ito sa transpormasyon ng Barangay San Jose (Malamig) ay ganito humigit kumulang ang aking natuklasan, na labag man sa payo ng kanyang manggagamot na mag-rest at magpagaling ay walang inaaksayang panahon si ABC President Gener B. Amante sa mga pagkakataong bumubuti ang kanyang kalusugan.
Ang naturang barangay sa pakikipag-tulungan ng mga kagawad at mga opisyales nito kay ABC President Gener ay nakagawa ng isang malaking pagbabago sa kanilang lugar. Luminis ang barangay, lumiwanag kung gabi sanhi ng pagkakaroon ng ibayong katahimikan at higit sa lahat ay nagawang luntian ang kapaligiran. Itinatayo na rin ang kanilang pangalawang bagong Barangay Hall.
Ala eh, nakatawag pansin sa pitak na ito ang malawak na taniman ng sari-saring gulay sa Brgy. San Jose Malamig. Hindi ito dahilan sa ngayon lang tayo nakakita ng gulayan, hindi rin sa ngayon lang nakakita ng ganitong karaming pananim at lalong hindi na ngayon lang natin nalaman kung paano ito pinuputi. Ito ay sapagkat may istoryang napag-alaman si Kagawad Kawad na kaakibat ng mga nasabing pananim.
Palibhasa’y todo suporta ang mga kagawad sa kanya ay hindi miminsang inako ng mga ito ang trabahong pambarangay ni Pangulong Gener subalit laking pagtataka nila tuwina dahil makaraan lang ang bawat pag-uusap ay una pang naglilibot ang Brgy. Chairman Amante upang tingnan ang katahimikan ng kanyang barangay. Ngunit wala silang magawa kundi ang tumingin ng may kasamang pag-iling.
Ang tangi na lang nilang nagagawa kay Pangulo ay ang pagpapa-alaala sa payo ng doktor na huwag magtatrabaho at magpapagod, ngunit ang sadyang masipag ay palaging may handang katwiran, tulad nang makita si pangulo nina kagawad sa kanilang taniman ng gulay. “Pangulo silong na po tayo, nagsisimula nang tumindi ang sikat ng araw,” anang mga kagawad ng San Jose.
“Salamat”, ani pangulo “pero ramdam kong dito ako gumagaling”.
Kaya ba ito ng ibang kagalang-galang ng Sangguniang Panlunsod? Tanong lang po ito.(sandy belarmino)

NSO NAGSASAGAWA NG POVERTY SURVEY
San Pablo City - Magkasabay na isinasagawa ng National Statistics Office (NSO) ang malawakang Annual Poverty Indicators Surveys (APIS) at Labor Force Survey (LFS) upang makuha ang datos na gagamitin ng gobyerno sa pag-aaral para sa higit pang ika-uunlad ng bansa.
Layunin ng mga naturang survey ang makalap ang wastong impormasyon na may kinalaman sa iba’t-ibang non-income indicators kaugnay sa kahirapan katulad ng pagkakaroon ng isang pamilya ng sariling tahanan, may pinagkukunan ng potable drinking water, energized na tirahan at pangkalusugang pangangailangan tulad ng malinis na palikuran.
Sakop din ng pag-aaral kung ilan sa miyembro ng pamilya na edad 18 taon pataas ang may pinagkakakitaang hanapbuhay at pagitan ng anim hanggang 16 na taong gulang ang pumapasok pa sa mga paaralan. Nakapaloob din dito ang pagtaya kung ilang pamilya ang may kakayanang tustusan ang kanilang pangunahing pangangailangan upang maayos na makapamuhay.
Mahalaga ang mga tala na makakalap sapagkat ito ang gumigiya sa pamahalaan sa pagpapatupad ng mga polisiyang nauukol sa kaunlaran ng bawat mamamayan.
Dahil dito ay hiniling ni NSO Regional Director Rosalinda P. Bautista sa publiko na makipagtulungan sa kanilang itatalagang tauhan sa field upang makatiyak na tama at wastong datos ang kanilang maitatala.
Ang survey ay inaasahang magtatapos sa katapusan ng Hulyo, taong kasalukuyan. (NANI CORTEZ/SANDY BELARMINO)

KABUHAYAN BUHAT SA KAWAYAN NG LLDA
San Pablo City – Isang power-point lecture na may pangkabuhayang paksa ang personal na isinagawa ni Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) General Manager Edgardo C. Manda na ang konsepto ay pagpaparami ng punong kawayan upang malabanan ang lumalalang global warming, sa harap ng mga bagong opisyal ng Seven Lakes Integrated Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council (FARMC) kahapon sa lunsod na ito.
Ang lecture na dinaluhan rin nina City Mayor Vicente B. Amante at Rizal Mayor Rolen Urriquia ang tumatalakay sa siyensya ng pagpapatubo ng kawayan, wastong pag-aalaga at mga pakinabang na makukuha dito mula sa pinakamaliit na pagsasangkapan hanggang sa mahalagang papel nito sa kalikasan at reporestasyon ng bansa.
Ayon kay Manda, ang kawayan palibhasa ay isang uri ng damo ay madaling buhayin katunayan aniya ay tumutubo na ito tatlong linggo makaraang itanim, at tatlong buwan ay may mga ready buyers nang landscapers at ornamental plants dealers.
Hinikayat ni Manda ang FARMC na humanap ng gagawing nursery upang makapag-punla ng maramihan at nagbigay katiyakan na bibilhin ng LLDA ang bawat seedlings na mapalalago ng samahan upang itanim sa mga kalbong bundok ng bansa panlaban sa global warming.
Ipinag-utos ni Mayor Amante sa kanyang city agriculturist na alalayan ang FARMC sa bamboo propagation upang magkaroon ang mga ito ng karagdagang kita bukod sa pangingisda sa pitong lawa ng lunsod. (NANI CORTEZ)
