4HeadlineGitnang LuzonJUNE 25, 2013EDITORIALContinuityThe province of Pampanga, with all itsachievements within the last three years,does not need the change in leadership, but, ifchange is inevitable, then, it is a relief to learnthan those who will be taking on the reins onlythink of continuity of the present programs alreadystarted by the Capitol and its outgoingleaders.At the governor’s level, there is no doubtwe will still be pampered with the same serviceswe had been enjoying for the past 36months. Maybe we’ll expect more now thatthere had already quite a number of programsimplemented and are being fine-tuned toserve a wider spectrum of Kapampangans.Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda’s re-election isno surprise because the people of Pampangaare just starting to taste the privileges of aproperly managed and transparent provincialgovernment.Interesting to watch is the “changing of theguards” at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan(SP), with outgoing vice governor Joseller“Yeng” Guiao vacating the presiding officer’sseat in favor of Dennis “Delta” Pineda. As faras policies are concerned, the two officialsmay not differ as they are both geared towardscomplementing the services of the executivedepartment via legislations that would make iteasier for the governor to implement her programs.What is worth watching, too, is how theyounger Pineda would become an effectivehead of the legislative body with many ofthe board members are relatively new in thefield. A consolation for him, though, is that themembers of the board are all supportive of theadministration.What lies heavily on the incoming vice governor’sshoulders now is how to motivate theboard members to work not just on the premisethat they are allied with the governor orthe vice governor but more so on their swornduties to be real voices of their constituents intheir respective duties.Dennis Pineda has vowed to allow theboard members work based on their own convictionsand that the sanctity of the balance ofpower between the legislative and the executivewill be held with the highest esteem.It’s time to work for all Kapampangans--those who voted from them or otherwise.HEADLINE Gitnang Luzon is a Daily Regional NewspaperGeneral Manager: Atty.

Nos. (045) 435-0938Has DepEd lost its mind?Undoubtedly, the main thrust and goalof DepEd’s K-12 program is to improve thecurrent education system that we havehad for how many decades already.Statistics show that the DepEdstill lacks over 150,000 classrooms,over 100,000 teachers, over 95 milliontextbooks, and 13 million seats.Notwithstanding all these glaringunfortunate realities that beset theeducation sector today, DepEd stillchose to add two more years in theBasic Education program throughthis K-12 program, which commencedthis academic year 2012-2013, which many critics analogizedas fixing a boat while sailing it.Has DepEd lost its mind?The poor performance of theFilipino students in the exams,which test their intellectual capabilities,is one of the main reasonsfor this hasty implementation of K-12program this school year. The results inthe National Achievement Tests (NAT)for Grade Six students in the academicyear 2009-2010 show that only 69.21 %of the examinees passed, while the NATfor High School students show a worseresult – only 46.38% examinees passed.Also in the same breadth, internationalstudies likewise show almost the samecontextual results. In the recent examinationsof Basic Education students in theTrends in International Mathematics andScience Study (TIMSS), the Philippinesranked 34th in High School Mathematicsout of the 38 countries who participatedin the said examinations and 43rd in HighSchool Science out of the 46 countries;for Grade Four, the Philippines ranked23rd out of the 25 in both Math and Sciencesubjects. In 2008, even with onlyArmed forces from communist North Koreasmash into South Korea, setting off the KoreanWar. The United States, acting under the auspicesof the United Nations, quickly sprang to thedefense of South Korea and fought a bloody andfrustrating war for the next three years.Korea, a former Japanese possession, hadbeen divided into zones of occupation followingWorld War II. U.S. forces accepted the surrenderof Japanese forces in southern Korea, while Sovietforces did the same in northern Korea. Likein Germany, however, the “temporary” divisionsoon became permanent. The Soviets assistedin the establishment of a communist regime inNorth Korea, while the United States became themain source of financial and military support forSouth Korea.On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces surprisedthe South Korean army (and the smallOnce more on K-12the Science High Schools participating inthe Advanced Mathematics category, thePhilippines ranked the lowest.The million dollar question now isthis: Is K-12 the solution to these poor performanceresults of theFilipino students?Towardsthe LightABEL SOTO“We should not also forget thefact that the countries whoranked lower than our rank(35th, 36th, 37th, and 38th)have the K-12 program in theirBasic Education”I doubt if it is.It’s pig simple:QUANTITY or QUAL-ITY? Does quantityspell quality? It’s not really the quantityof time a student spends learning in theclassroom, but the quality of instruction,school facilities, and textbooks that willreally make a big difference in the dramaticimprovement of our country’s rankin these international examinations, andin a broader scope, in the quality of oureducation.If we ranked 34th out of the 38 countriesand we are the last country in Asiathat has the ten-year education cycle inthe Basic Education program, we shouldnot also forget the fact that the countrieswho ranked lower than our rank (35th,36th, 37th, and 38th) have the K-12 programin their Basic Education. Doesn’tthis fact present a tension of opposite,which should also be taken into significantconsideration on why this K-12 programshould not have been implementedU.S. force stationed in the country), and quicklyheaded toward the capital city of Seoul. TheUnited States responded by pushing a resolutionthrough the U.N.’s Security Council callingfor military assistance to South Korea. (Russiawas not present to veto the action as it was boycottingthe Security Council at the time.) Withthis resolution in hand, President Harry S. Trumanrapidly dispatched U.S. land, air, and seaforces to Korea to engage in what he termeda “police action.” The American interventionturned the tide, and U.S. and South Koreanforces marched into North Korea. This action,however, prompted the massive interventionof communist Chinese forces in late 1950. Thewar in Korea subsequently bogged down into abloody stalemate. In 1953, the United States andNorth Korea signed a cease-fire that ended theconflict. The cease-fire agreement also resultedKorean War beginsJune 25, 1950yet?I think it does!Moreover, quality education is aboutthe quality of teachers more than anythingelse. And we have lots of these teachers,which is why Filipino teachers are quite indemand to teach in the public schools atUncle Sam’s vineyard,which, again, is anotherunfortunate realitythat Juan dela Cruzneeds to confront headon. If a teacher whoteaches 45 studentsin a class and onlyvery few learn due tothe many abovementionedshortages in oureducation sector, whatmore if a teacher in a public school has toteach 70 to 90 students in a class?The ideal ratio and proportion is 1:30(one teacher is to 30 students) in class, andwe can at least count on instructional efficiencyand effectiveness. But due to thebig number of shortages in classroomsand teachers, how could we be ensured ofquality education to happen in our country?Fixing two problems at a time is anotherproblem in itself. You can’t sail andfix the boat at the same time. Fairy taleswill remain as such: fairy tales! Andwe have no doubt about this! DepEdshould have fixed the more pressing anddamaging problem first, which is to addressthe many shortages in its household,and it could have only been onlythat time (AND REALLY ONLY THATTIME) could DepEd have talked aboutthe implementation of this K-12 programin our education system……and that is plain and simpleLOGIC. ●in the continued division of North and South Koreaat just about the same geographical point asbefore the conflict.The Korean War was the first “hot” war of theCold War. Over 55,000 American troops werekilled in the conflict. Korea was the first “limitedwar,” one in which the U.S. aim was not the completeand total defeat of the enemy, but rather the“limited” goal of protecting South Korea. For theU.S. government, such an approach was theonly rational option in order to avoid a third worldwar and to keep from stretching finite Americanresources too thinly around the globe. It provedto be a frustrating experience for the Americanpeople, who were used to the kind of total victorythat had been achieved in World War II. Thepublic found the concept of limited war difficultto understand or support and the Korean Warnever really gained popular support.--HISTORY
