Philippines hosts Chef de Mission meeting for 2014 ASEAN Schools Games

Tweet

The Department of Education (DepEd) and the City Government of Marikina met with the delegation heads of participating countries to ensure the readiness and safety of playing facilities for the 2014 ASEAN Schools Games (ASG), which will be held from November 29 to December 7, 2014 in Marikina City.

The “Chef de Mission” meeting is intended to finalize billeting arrangements and to allow the countries’ representatives to inspect the playing facilities.

“This meeting allows us to settle all issues months before the conduct of the games,” says DepEd Assistant Secretary Tonisito Umali, adding that it is important for all delegations to be on the same page.

Umali emphasized that ensuring the readiness and safety of the facilities is integral in safeguarding the welfare of the ASG delegates. He said that guaranteeing such environment for the athletes would provide a venue for creating champions. He added, “We want to create a community of champions—not just in the Asian Games or the Olympics, but champions in discipline, teamwork, and leadership.”

“We are excited to see how our young athletes are growing to be our ASEAN champions,” Jolly Gomez of the Philippine Sports Commission said.

This is the 6th ASEAN Schools Games and the first time for the Philippines to host although last year the country already hosted the golf tournament of the 2013 games, which were held in Vietnam.

Participating countries are Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The events in the ASG are athletics, swimming, badminton, golf, tennis, sepak takraw, gymnastics, table tennis, basketball, volleyball and wushu. The Philippine delegation will be composed of student-athletes from both public and private schools, as selected by a separate selection committee.

Internet stars band together to better online searching with #GoogleMoLang

Ryan Morales, Google Philippines Country Marketing Manager, talks about the online game “Google Mo Lang,” where users can learn Google Search tips and tricks with the help of local Internet stars.

#GoogleMoLang, a movement that calls on Filipinos to maximize the full potential of online search. The creators are early Internet adopters who have utilized the web to advance their talents and have proven there’s a wide range of other useful things to be explored online.

Internet content creators like comedic talent Mikey Bustos, Marco Ho or Bogart the Explorer and his manager Jako de Leon, and restaurateur Erwan Heusaff heavily depend on online search in acquiring information and developing shareable content for their audience. But based on experience, limited know-hows in online search are often frustrating when people can't make sense of the results or can’t seem to find what they’re looking for. 

Seeing how online search impacts their work and practically every person’s life, the creators banded with OPM band Sponge Cola and heartthrob group Chicser to form #GoogleMoLang.

“The net has become a home for Internet content creators like Bogart, and we feel the responsibility to make information more accessible for everyone. #GoogleMoLang is a reminder that at every step of people’s search online, Google Search is there to assist them on their quest,” as Marco describes the movement as getting people to see ways in which Google Search can be used in everyday life. 

As part of the movement, the Internet stars, together with Google, devised an online game “Google Mo Lang” (http://www.google.com.ph/campaigns/googlemolang/) where netizens take a virtual adventure to create the perfect night. The interactive game simulates real-life setting by prompting users to use the search engine—through a host of tips and tricks—as they make decisions on how they'd like their night to continue. 

“#GoogleMoLang aims to deepen Filipinos’ knowledge and use of Search. It is the surest shortcut to most items that concern or interest people, so why not maximize it?” Mikey said. 

Erwan, who manages the The Fat Kid Inside blog where he shares ways and recipes on healthy eating habits, said Search helps a lot in developing new recipes and in bringing the advocacy closer to the reach of many Filipinos. “I use it everyday, both for my blog and to my day-to-day work. I use it to research emerging trends on food recipes as well as key items people are looking for, what people are hungry for. Being able to find them and pull them together in one simple step makes my work so much easier,” said Erwan. 

For the young boy band members of Chicser, Google Search has become an aide. “It has a strong impact on us because through it, we can do and know things fast, from homework to new ideas for our videos," said Biboy Cabingon, Chicser member. 

Sponge Cola’s lead guitarist Erwin Armovit turns to Google Search to find the music materials he needs. “When learning new songs, Search comes in handy in finding the chords and lyrics. When scouting for the latest playing equipment, guitars, amps, and pedals for new techniques when recording, Search is our gateway for quick access to information.”

According to the band’s lead vocalist Yael Yuzon, Search plays an important role in leaving people no more in the dark. “Information is everywhere. It's just a matter of how people can get access to it. Google Search bridges you from being uninformed to informed. Having the right information that you need is already half a battle won.”

Internet stars collaborate for #GoogleMoLang movement. Clockwise from left: Erwin Armovit (Sponge Cola), Tricky Ikki, Jako de Leon (Bogart the Explorer manager), Erwan Heussaff, Chicser members Cav Villafuerte, Owy Posadas, Oliver Posadas, Ranz Kyle, Ully Basa, and Biboy Cabingon, Ted Mark Cruz (Sponge Cola), Mikey Bustos, Gosh Dilay (Sponge Cola).

“Google Search ‘listens’ to what people exactly mean by their queries and give people back what they truly need. It shapes our lifestyle by helping us make the right decisions from the best available information,” said Ryan Morales, Google Philippines Country Marketing Manager. 

About Google Inc.

Google Search

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful— Google Search is at the core of this mission, allowing users to easily find the information they need amongst the Web’s wealth of information. There are many ways you can use Google Search for life’s little shortcuts, including checking the weather forecase2et, searching for the current time in different geographic locations, calculator, unit conversion, and public data searches, among others.

• Knowledge Graph: The Knowledge Graph allows you to instantly get detailed information about the things, people or places that Google knows about—landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, geographical features, movies, celestial objects, works of art and more.
• Voice search: You can now search Google by saying your search term, instead of typing it. This is a convenient way to search if you speak faster than you type or if you're not sure how to spell your search term. This works on the Google Search App for iOS, Android and Chrome browsers for laptops and desktops.

Google Trends

Are searches for your brand increasing over time? Are consumers searching for you or your competitor? Learn about your brand (or anything you may be interested in!) with the Google Trends tool. Explore by search term and see the related top searches and rising searches for a particular time period, location, category, and type of search (whether web, image, news, product, or YouTube search).

• Top searches: This refers to search terms with the most significant level of interest. These terms are related to the term you've entered; if you didn't enter in a search term, the top searches will be related to the category or country/territory you've chosen.
• Rising searches: These highlight searches that have experienced significant growth in a given time period, with respect to the preceding time period. So if you're comparing data for a search term during 2006, the time period serving as the basis of comparison is 2005.

Google Search Tips

Get facts for your research fast

Researching can sometimes be frustrating especially if you can’t seem to find what you’re looking for. Fortunately, with Google’s enhanced search functionalities, you can find answers immediately with the right know-how. Here are some tips to get facts fast:

• Get facts in one place with Knowledge graph. When looking for information about a place or a person, Google Search provides answers through a graph of facts and connections to help you understand and explore the topic better. Try searching for “Pyramids of Giza” or even Bohol’s “Chocolate Hills” and Albay’s active volcano, “Mayon Volcano” and get facts on the right side of the Search page.

• Access public data right on your fingertips. It’s now easy to get public data from World Bank by just typing in keywords on Google Search. Try searching ‘Philippine population’ or ‘GDP Philippines’ and get statistics on top of search results.

• Word definitions made easy. There’s no need to open the dictionary when looking for definitions. Type in “define:” and the word you need the definition for. The result will appear on top of the page.

• Calculate anything on Search. You can calculate anything right on Google Search, saving you precious time and giving you the right answers fast. Calculate simple formula or even try complicated ones like 5*9+(sqrt 10)^3.

• All the news you need in one page. Need to be updated on current affairs? Google News helps you see all the headlines and summary of articles you need. Customize what category you want to see—whether technology, local news, business, or even fashion—for a more precise news search.

Search with surgical precision

Aside from typing in keywords, you can be more specific in your search to get the right results on Google Search. Here are some useful search operators to use:

• Search within a specific website. When looking for information in a specific website, use the “site:” operator when searching. For example, when searching for Presidential Decrees, search “Presidential Decrees site:gov.ph.” The results will provide all searches related to it within the government site.

• Trim down results by file type. Scouring web results for a specific file is frustrating, especially if you forgot the exact title of the filename. Use the search operator “filetype:” followed by the file extension. For example, when searching for population data in Excel format, search “population Philippines filetype:xls” and all search results in Excel format will appear.

• Utilize +, -, and quotations when searching. Add and exclude words, as well as search for the exact phrase using search operators +, -, and “”, respectively. For example, if you want to search for previous Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summits but not the 2015 summit in Albay, search for “APEC "summit" -Philippines.” The results will contain the term APEC summit but not with the term “Philippines.”

Discover facts from other countries

Having knowledge about different countries will definitely be useful for school as much as it is useful for traveling. Here are some tips in getting facts about other countries:

• Know other countries’ currency. Type in “What is the currency of x country?” and get the answer immediately. You can even go further by finding out the current exchange rate for that currency. For example, type in “convert 100 MYR to Philippine peso” and get the converted amount without using a calculator.

• Find out the time in other countries. Knowing the current time in other countries is easy as typing in “time” and the city or country. The result will be displayed on top of the search results, complete with the current time and date.

• Check out the weather abroad. Check out how cold the weather is in the South Pole or how hot it is in UAE by typing in “weather” and the location. Get the temperature, precipitation, and even wind predictions for hours during the day.

Voice Search

You can use Voice Actions with Google Search to get directions, send messages, and perform a number of other common tasks on your Android device. Simply touch the Microphone icon in a search box, or by saying "Google" when the Google Now screen is open. Voice Actions are available in French, Italian, German, Spanish, English, and Japanese; this sheet lists out the currently available commands in English only.

"Meaningful change makes a nation" -- Cong. Karlo Nograles:

Tweet

First District of Davao City Representative Karlo Nograles pushes for the passage of Philippine Green Jobs Act to create green jobs that will help curb the ill-effects of climate change.

The Representative from District 1 of Davao City,  Congressman Karlo Nograles has always known in his heart the renewing possibility of change. He believes that every individual has the resources within himself to change the course of his life. 

Nograles understands that the greatest and most significant societal changes begin with small, simple steps.



What is more life-changing than education? In his first term as a congressman, Karlo trained his eyes on education, particularly on the post-secondary level. 

“I just felt that government wasn’t paying enough attention to kids after high school,” says Nograles.


Through Oplan Kaalam (Oplan K), Karlo supports the full tuition and fees of thousand of students in state-owned University of Southern Philippines, University of the Philippines-Mindanao and other public and private colleges and universities across Davao City.



In addition, the program has also handed out thousands of technical-vocational scholarships to poor students in the barrios. “The youth become more empowered with higher education,” Karlo, who finished his law degree at the Ateneo de Manila University, says. “They are sustained with the means to provide a brighter future for themselves and their families.”


But for Karlo, it is not enough that the youth are educated and have their families secured: they also have to play a role in community transformation. In order to stress the importance of the youth and their involvement in community service, Karlo has led some 5,000 scholars in various community programs such as tree planting, coastal clean-ups, recycling, reading and literature programs, and school feeding drives, among others. 

Congressman Karlo Nograles is a typical protective and loving husband and father to his wife Marga and his three children, Mateo, Massimo and Nikka

“Every person has the capacity to serve the community, and the only way we can change the world for the better is to help others and always pay it forward,” an admirable life philosophy he continues to advocate from his training in the Ateneo and the Jaycee movement.

Now serving on his second term, Karlo is motivated to cultivate the seeds planted by education, volunteerism, and civic-mindedness to further fruition. Karlo is now committed to creating sustainable community-based livelihood programs and employment opportunities, in line with his current position as Chairman of the Committee on Labor and Employment at the House of Representatives.



Representative of First Congressional

 District of Davao City Karlo Nograles

Under the supervision of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Karlo has been bringing job fairs to the 54 barangays under his jurisdiction, right to where the people are. “Since many of the poor and unemployed have no means to go around and look for work, then we must bring all these job vacancies down to the impoverished communities, and together with potential employers do the job interviews then and there,” Karlo says. 

“Never underestimate the power of a job; it allows people to provide for their needs and enjoy the honor and dignity of hard work and self-reliance.”



The concurrent vice-chairman of the House Committee on Human Rights and Committee on Revision of Laws also brings to the barangays various community-based skills training projects, such as basic welding, plumbing, beauty care, and commercial cooking. “These are skills that are easily learned and are easily employable, and such trainings should therefore not be confined to schools and classrooms but must be accessible by the poor who need them most.”


For his exceptional vision and leadership, Karlo was hailed as Outstanding Congressman by SuperBrands Marketing International in 2012. The following year, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) also conferred to him the Regional Kabalikat Award for 2013.


Cong. Karlo Nograles of first district of Davao City passes House Bill No. 4969 that promotes climate-smart industries and services .

Now, Karlo has set his eyes on sustainable development. He recently filed a bill in Congress seeking to generate eco-friendly jobs that will help reduce environmental risks posed by business enterprises with the help of green technology. His Green Jobs Act aims to not just preserve the environment, but to ensure that we are able to sustain a better way of life and at the same time protect our planet for future generations. 

For Karlo, change in the individual means change in the community and ultimately, the country.

Historical Bonifacio Trial House is new beneficiary of NHCP-JDI partnership

Tweet

A sense of history and patriotism is nurtured not only by books but also by the preservation of historical sites like ancestral houses. These ancestral houses become tangible, real places where we can all learnthe lessons of history that will guide our present and our future.

This is why the NHCP is doing everything it can to keep these historical structures in good condition for future generations to visit.

Bonifacio Trial House built during 1889 at Maragondon Cavite

The latest beneficiary of an ongoing partnership between the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and Jardine Distribution, Inc. (JDI), is the ancestral house where the court martial of National Hero and Katipunan Founder Andres Bonifacio was held.

The house, built during 1889, at Maragondon, Cavite is being preserved through the joint effort of NHCP and JDI, with the use of Solignum wood preservatives and the technical training by JDI regarding wood preservation.

“It’s very challenging to be responsible for the preservation of these ancestral houses that are more than a century old. More than a hundred years is enough time for environmental conditions and stresses, including termites, wood-boring insects, and fungi, to do damage and weaken the wood. JDI and Solignum will continue to partner with NHCP to ensure proper preservation of these sites. Together, we value history and heritage.” said Peachy C. Tiu, Marketing Manager of Jardine Distribution, Inc. (JDI), distributor of Solignum wood preservative.

A glimpse of the fence and the marker erected fro this historical landmark

In partnership with the NHCP, JDI has donated Solignum Soilguard soil termiticide to protect the structure from the attack of subterranean termites. The wooden parts of the house will also be treated with Solignum wood preservative. JDI also extended technical training and assistance to the government agency. Tiu said that JDI’s main concern was to properly equip the NHCP to fulfill its mission of preserving the country’s historical heritage. 

“We’ve all been to museums and we’ve read history books and watched historical documentaries on DVD or cable TV. But there’s something very different, very real, when you visit an ancestral home. When you’re there, history comes alive. You see greater meaning and value in the lessons of the past. We at JDI feel privileged to be able to assist in the NHCP’s mission,” she said.

Perimeter preparation is the start of soil treatment. Jess Claudio, Sales & Marketing Representative from JDI conducts on site training to the curator and restoration contractor of the historical Bonifacio Trial House.

Solignum was introduced into the Philippine market way back in 1895, so in its own way, the product has a shared history with the nation. Today, it has become the most trusted wood preservative in the market after decades of excellent performance and reliability. 

With the ongoing NHCP-JDI partnership, future generations will continue to enjoy historical sites that preserve not only the structures themselves but the stories and insights that we all need to take to heart—so we can build a stronger and better nation.
