Araling Panlipunan, current events, and a conversation with ChatGPT

Araling Panlipunan, current events, and a conversation with ChatGPT

Late last week my seventh-grader son and I briefly talked about three news items that I thought would matter more seriously to adults as days and weeks go by. I am not quite sure we would follow up the same conversation, but I hope we would not. I believe knowing major details of the three reports were enough for him to submit those seemingly regular Araling Panlipunan requirements called balitaan. For a moment I was afraid; I must have been a sad bore to him, and I hope he would forgive me for not allowing him to know more particulars when follow-up stories of those reports become available.

My son heard the first news: The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin. This is after Russia launched a bloody, vicious, brutal war against Ukraine a few months ago. Many countries have expressed their support for the ICC’s decision, although some fear that the conflict between the two countries will worsen.

Second news: The effects of the oil spill on the shores are expanding and more local government units (LGUs) are alerted to the possible oil leakage in their areas. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources previously reminded local governments of their duties to protect the seas amid the disaster. Meanwhile, various groups of environmentalists have launched projects in collaboration with the LGUs to alleviate the oil spill problem. It is expected that the fishermen in the affected areas will have more difficulty in how they will face the extreme hardship of making a living at sea. Approximately 6,000 liters of oil and water mixed with other contaminated material were collected as of last week by the Philippine Coast Guard during the cleanup in Oriental Mindoro where the severe oil spill occurred.

The third news: The Philippine National Police (PNP) is said to have strong evidence of the alleged mastermind in the killings that occurred in 2019, including the killing of Governor Roel Degamo. Ongoing is the investigation of the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group against Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. in connection with the ambush of the governor and others. The PNP spokesperson did not provide exact details to the public about the evidence as a precaution in the current operation of the police in the province. On March 10, Teves’ properties were raided in Purok 4, Barangay Poblacion, Basay, Negros Oriental, and various types of firearms were confiscated, a few days after the assassination of Governor Degamo.

How the first and last items’ finales would be written soon are said to have a lasting impression to anti-crime efforts of authorities, criminologists, advocates of peace and order, even the academic. But the second news is too unsettling. It must end ASAP. State-of-the-art equipment and excellent disaster management are crucial for controlling the oil spill locations. Rapid action by authorities with the help of cause-oriented environmentalists and experts are needed; otherwise, the plaguing effects of the present state of oil to the environment can only deepen.

And what were related developments reaching ChatGPT?

Yesterday I was a resource speaker on the topic “Artificial Intelligence vs Natural Intelligence: Opportunities and Challenges of AI Adaptability” and unveiled a 37-slide PowerPoint presentation to an attentive crowd of Grades 9 and 10 students as well as some teachers in Sto. Niño School of Muntinlupa. Crowd inputs and questions were immense and the five student reactors’ pieces profound. They saw screenshots of my conversation with ChatGPT about strong leaders Vladimir Putin and Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr., among others. I mentioned the following observations on the manners of answers by https://chat.openai.com/chat: ChatGPT had correct, accurate information; was unaware (no information) that ICC already issued arrest warrant against Putin; no apologies, not grateful of the correction; did not mind a grammar lapse, proceeded with correct understanding of a question; quickly “read” (in less than 5 seconds) all the 16 previous Op-Ed articles I wrote at tutubi.ph and accurately answered the question of scopes of my column Inside Academe.

Seminar attendees agreed with me when I concluded in part that in AI, we win some and lose some. About 15 of the participants said they tried using ChatGPT before they met me in the seminar. One said she was satisfied with the AI-powered tool when it “gave” her the design she needed. (There goes the question now: Who owns the art that AI generates?) And I remembered my son saying he and many of his classmates were already using ChatGPT despite its launch less than four months ago.

We should accept good human inventions and this early, Big Tech races to adapt to AI. Students, however, should not stop using natural intelligence which is the ability to apply logic, proofs of which are mental activities such as thinking, learning (from experience), understanding simple and intricate concepts, re/solving issues and concerns, making decisions, retaining and sharing (communicating) information. Now what? Natural or artificial intelligence? With so many things to learn, why not choose both?

The saga of a great writer and poet

The saga of a great writer and poet

(2nd of a series)

While Nelia was pursuing her further studies, Romy accepted odd jobs to finance their daily needs. He sold pan de sal in the morning and assorted housewares in the afternoon.  When his first child was born, he went to Isabela in search of a greener pasture but just like in the song ‘My Elusive Dream’ he did not find it there so they moved on again to San Pablo.  During  the  interregnum, he fervently prayed to God to give him a permanent job so he could provide his family a comfortable life.

When Roreen, the fourth child in the family was born, his neighbor Zoilo Borja helped him land a permanent job at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Banos where he worked there for more than twenty years.  While working at IRRI, he was elected Barangay Chairman of Barangay III-C and remained undefeated till  he voluntarily relinquished his position to somebody else for personal reasons.

His stint as Barangay Chairman was a very colorful one. He needed to be tough and unbending in the  face of difficult challenges considering that Brgy. III-C back then, also known as ‘Labak’ was a haven of rogues, recidivists  and incorrigible youth who sowed terror in the Barangay. There was an incident when he had to use a bolo to pacify a riot and many could attest to this fact.

 Because of his fair treatment to his constituents, he was loved and respected by many.  His dedication as a public servant cannot be discounted as evidenced by the many projects he worked on with the assistance of his friends in the local and provincial government. He was able to secure finances for the construction of the Day Care Center and the metal gate of Platon Elementary School; he secured the approval of then Mayor Zacarias A. Ticzon to allow the informal settlers in his area to occupy the land near the riverbank which up to now they are still occupying.

As B/Chairman, he wrote stage plays for DUPILAW (Dulaan ng Pitong Lawa), and Church of Christ stationed in San Pablo and Alaminos, Laguna. One of the stage plays that was admired by the audience leading to a standing ovation was “Dakipin si Aling Sela” portrayed by Ms. Christy Oracion. He had written many plays for Church of Christ every yuletide season.  The last play he wrote was “Sinakulong Inukit” but it has not been put to play for lack of finances, actors and actresses.

Libreng Pabahay at palupa, inilunsad sa bayan ng Bay, Laguna

Bay, Laguna. Nilagdaan kanina, Marso 21 ang Memorandum of Understanding at idinaos ang groundbreaking ceremony sa pagitan ng pamahalaang lokal ng Bay at Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development para sa libre at murang pabahay sa Balai Bayeños sa Brgy.Dila sa bayan ito.

Ayon kay Mayor Jose Padrid, minarapat niya na magkaloob ng humigit kumulang na 250 units ng lupa sa mga job-order government employees at mga illegal settlers upang makatulong sa kabuhayan ng kanilang pamilya. 

“Bilang isang ama, batid ko po ang pangangailangan ng isang pamilya [sa] isang bahay na masisilungan at higit sa lahat ay isang tahanan kung saan nila bubuuin at aabutin ang kanilang mga pangarap,” ayon sa mensahe ni Padrid.

Nakipag tulungan ang pamahalaang bayan ng Bay sa mga ahensya ng pamahalaan kabilang ang Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), Home Development Mutual Fund o PAG-IBIG Fund, at pamahalaang lalawigan ng Laguna para sa land development, pagpili sa mga magiging benepisyaryo ng mga bahay, at tulong sa pag popondo ng proyekto.

Balak ding itatag sa Balai Bayeños housing community ang isang community facility, plant nursery, basketball court, transportation terminal, at Super Health Center na kumpleto sa mga modernong medical equipment.

Umaasa sila na sa mga susunod na taon ay magkakaroon na ng libreng pabahay bukod sa libreng lupa para sa mga walang kakayahang magbayad ng housing loan.

Nakatakdang simulan ang konstruksyon ng mga bahay ngayong taon.

Na-locate ng Japanese remote sub ang lumubog na oil tanker sa Oriental Mindoro

Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. Nakita na ng Japanese remotely operated vehicle (ROV) noong Martes kung nasaan ang MT Princess Empress na lumubog sa karagatan ng Oriental Mindoro noong Peb. 28.

Sa isang situation update, sinabi ng Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) na natagpuan g ROV Hakuyo ng Japanese Dynamic Positioning Vessel (DPV) na Shin Nichi Maru ang lumubog na tanker sa 7.7 nautical miles mula sa Balingawan Point sa bayan ng Naujan, Oriental Mindoro province noong Lunes.

“Dito inilunsad ang ROV HAKUYO na kayang sumisid ng 2,000 metro,” the PCG said.

Ang mga serbisyo ng DPV Shin Nichi Maru at ROV Hakuyo ay kinuha ng RDC Reield Marine Services (RDC), ang may-ari ng MT Princess Empress, upang mahanap at masuri ang kalagayan ng lumubog na tanker.

Sa isang press briefing, ipinakita rin ni Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Dolor ang mga inisyal na larawan at video na kuha ng ROV sa lumubog na tanker ship na may dalang 800,000 liters ng industrial oil at nagdulot ng spill sa mga rehiyon ng MIMAROPA at Western Visayas.

“Sa wakas, natagpuan na ang MT Princess Empress. Ang unang sulyap sa lumubog na barko gamit ang ROV lulan ng Japanese vessel na sinalubong natin kahapon at inihatid sa lugar na pinangyarihan ng trahedya,” ayon sa post ni Dolor sa kanyang Facebook page.

Dahil sa mga developments na nabanggit, sinabi ni Dolor na tatalakayin ng pamahalaang panlalawigan ng Oriental Mindoro ang PCG at Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), ang insurance company, at ang may-ari ng barko na Harbour Star Shipping Services Inc., ang kanilang susunod na gagawin.

“Nakita natin ng personal nung ibinababa yung ROV kahapon, nais kong exclusive na ipakita sa inyo ang ilan sa mga piling litrato na nakuha ng ROV na maaaring maging basehan ng Harbor Star at ng pamahalaang local at nasyonal sa pangunguna ng Coast Guard at ng DENR at ng pamahalaang panlalawigan para finally makagawa ng maliwanag na plano kung paano aalisin itong langis sa loob o kung ano ang kailangang gawin para takpan ang mga butas sa barko ” ayon kay Dolor.

Sa ngayon, ang Harbour Star na kinontrata ng RDC para tumulong sa cleanup drive ay kumuha ng kabuuang 147 manggagawa bilang karagdagan sa 25 lokal na volunteers, miyembro ng City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office, lokal na mangingisda, at 57 PCG personnel upang magsagawa ng mga operasyon sa paglilinis ng baybayin.

Nagpadala rin ang PCG ng 13 marine science technician upang magsagawa ng pagsubok sa mga dispersant na ginamit upang suriin ang pagiging epektibo ng mga ito bago ang aplikasyon kasama ang 10 tauhan na bumubuo sa offshore response team.

Sa offshore (sea) cleanup operations, ang M/TUG Titan 1 at M/TUG Lidagat ng Malayan Towage and Salvage Company ay naglapat ng kabuuang 24,620 litro ng oil spill dispersant mula noong Marso 1 sa tubig na humigit-kumulang 6.3 nautical miles mula sa baybayin ng Balingawan Point , Lucta Point, at Buloc Bay.

Sa shoreline cleanup operations, ang PCG at ang mga kasosyo nito ay nakakolekta ng 2,353 sako, na tumitimbang ng humigit-kumulang 58,825 kilo, at 22 drum ng oil-contaminated debris mula noong Marso 1.

Ang mga kontaminadong debris ay nakolekta sa 12 apektadong barangay — humigit-kumulang 300 metro kwadrado ng bakawan at 16.8 kilometro ng baybayin.

Grin n’ ter Footwear Manufacturing: Hard Work Pays Off

Everybody has their own definition of risk. It can be for anything that requires you to take opportunities to achieve your goals but risk is not for everybody. Taking risk requires bravery, guts and the heart to take in everything your actions will throw at you. For entrepreneurs, risk is nothing short of a redundant word; it is a part of the business industry. They welcome, savor, digest and reap its sweet rewards.
Mr. Walter Coroza, registered business owner of Grinter Footwear Manufacturing, is a risk taker born in Liliw, Laguna. A graduate of Hotel and Restaurant Management, Walter took a different path and pursued a career in slipper making. This might seem inevitable when you are born and bred in Liliw where the town is known for shoes and slipper manufacturing that rivals Marikina.

When he was young, his older brother and sisters owned a slipper manufacturing shop and was once the source of their family’s income. He instantly took interest in it and one of the first skills he learned from the shop was to make heels. However, before his slipper making journey even started, he landed his first job in managing a small school canteen in Manila. He then ventured into the world of food supplement networking. Not long after, he left the job and continued to pursue something else.

Being the youngest of eight siblings, he did not take this as an excuse to relax and rely on his older siblings. In 2016, he decided to put up a gym co-partnered with a friend but unfortunately it only lasted a year due to maintenance problems. The same year, his brother’s heel manufacturing shop or Bansuhan (as what locals in Liliw call it) closed as well. He took a calculated risk and re-opened his brother’s shop in 2017 and later named it Grinter Footwear. Using some of his savings and everything he learned from their shop, he started to produce products for selling on his own.

Since then, Walter has been actively participating in programs and services being offered by the Department of Trade and Industry Laguna Provincial Office (DTI Laguna). In 2020, he participated in business coaching sessions facilitated by Negosyo Center Liliw including sessions on basic pricing and costing. Walter was very hands-on in his business so he applied everything he learned from the sessions which made a great impact and income for them.

Like any entrepreneur, he encountered challenges particularly when the Covid-19 pandemic happened. Some of his clients would ghost him, paying half of what they ordered. There had been changing trends especially when Korean designs and products were everywhere. In addition to this, the business was fine but not earning and manufacturing enough products as efficiently and as fast as what he planned. With limited operating equipment and one employee helping him, they can only produce one thousand two hundred (1,200) to one thousand five hundred (1,500) pieces of heels per week.

The trials he faced did not stop Walter from continuing his business, and instead, he worked harder. In 2021, he was invited by the Business Counselor of DTI Laguna assigned in Negosyo Center Liliw to participate in a consultative meeting that would help micro, small, and medium enterprises like him. DTI Laguna partnered with the Local Government Unit of Liliw for the Shared Service Facility program. Through this program, Walter was able to borrow two (2) bandsaws (an equipment used for cutting wood).

As chance would have it, the equipment was what he needed the most since he cannot afford to purchase one yet. With a few tweaks and turns, he was able to use the machine and doubled the increase in his production capacity.

Today, he can make five thousand (5,000) pairs of heels and two thousand (2,000) pairs of slippers. He was also able to provide more jobs not only to other Liliwenos but also to his relatives as a way of helping the family. From one helper, he now has forty-five (45) people under his employment working harmoniously in his shop. Walter is also selling materials for slipper making and patrons of his products comprised mostly footwear manufacturers from Liliw. As of the moment, he is considering selling outside his retail trade area and joining trade fairs organized by DTI Laguna so that his products and materials could be known more. 

“Umpisahan mo ang negosyo, hindi natin malalaman kung para sa atin ba ang negosyo kung susukuan agad. Maraming struggles, challenges pero dapat may pangarap ka para yun ang maging gasolina mo para maabot ang pangarap…kung gusto mo lumaki ang kita dapat dagdagan mo ang effort mo (Start your business, you’ll never know if the business is for you if you give up easily. There are struggles, challenges but use them to achieve your dreams. If you want to earn more, put more effort into it).”

Walter is an example of an entrepreneur that takes chances and believes that when you have the opportunity to do something, you should act on it instantly for it may never come again. As the saying goes, time and tide wait for no man.

It aimed to empower the scholars through knowledge dissemination on various relevant matters, increase employability and develop practical skills for starting small home-based businesses, with the possibility of building local microenterprises.

OIC Provincial Director of DTI Laguna Christian Ted O. Tungohan graced the said event. Tungohan commended the City Government of Calamba, headed by Mayor Roseller H. Rizal, for initiating a remarkable program to help alleviate the life of its constituents. He also encouraged the scholars to nurture their acquired knowledge and pursue the life of an entrepreneur.

Among the topics learned during the livelihood seminar were the following: How to Start a Business, Entrepreneurial Mindset, How to Register a Business, and DTI Programs and Services.

Since the event was in conjunction with the celebration of the World Consumer Rights Day, Senior Trade and Industry Development Specialist of DTI Laguna Monica Czarina F. Abarca discussed the eight consumer rights and five consumer responsibilities. “Well-informed consumers are well protected,” Abarca emphasized.

The Department of Labor and Employment, represented by Caria Cabiles, also graced the event. Cabiles taught the participants about the various programs of the department such as the Integrated Livelihood Program.

Meanwhile, Department Head of City Social Services Office Celina D. Manabat lauded the continued collaboration between DTI and the City Government of Calamba in uplifting Filipino lives through entrepreneurship.

The abovementioned initiatives are part of the regular activities of DTI Laguna in line with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals to end poverty and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. (DTI-Laguna)
