No penalty for teacher scolding students in viral video: VP Duterte ---- Arra Perez, ABS-CBN News

Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte on Wednesday revealed no penalty would be given to the teacher who went viral on social media for scolding her students. Duterte said she saw the teacher's explanation and tasked the regional director to remind the teacher to just slow down if she feels angry. "Ang una ko naging reaction is tao lang iyong teacher. Lahat tayo umaabot sa punto na nagagalit tayo, lalo 'pag nafu-frustrate tayo. This is especially true sa mga teachers dahil ang teachers natin hindi lang isa na tao ang kausap nila. Ang isang klase ay merong from 25 to 45, sometimes 55 students," she told reporters in Cambodia. (For me, teachers are only human. We reach a point where we get angry especially if we are frustrated. This is especially true for teachers because they don't just to talk to one person. A class often has 25 to 45 students., sometimes 55 students.) "Nakita ko iyong explanation niya, and then sinabihan ko ang regional office natin na there will be no penalties for the teacher. Just to remind the teacher that if she is angry, she has to pause. Itigil muna iyong klase. And when she's not angry anymore, saka siya magklase ulit. There's a need to pause pag galit iyong teacher. Iyon lang ang sinabi ko na i-remind sa teacher," she added. -api.abs-bn.com/Prod/20240318080356/7da8533c1987f32d5456a97dd6ee827fad420698d83b49e7c44f4ca6e730ed8(I saw her explanation and ordered no penalties for the teacher, just issue a reminder that if she is angry, stop the class. And when she's not angry, that's when she starts teaching again.) Teacher asked to explain scolding of students in viral video: DepEd Duterte said the teacher apparently did not now that she was online during the recording of the video. "Ang sabi niya, hindi niya alam na online siya... Hindi niya alam na naka-online siya," Duterte said. (She said she didn't know she was online.) "Lahat tayo inaabutan ng galit. Ang dapat natin maintindihan ay kung anong gagawin natin kung tayo ay galit na. And that is why pinasabihan ko iyong teacher," she added. (We're all caught up by anger. What we sould understand is what to do if we are mad. And that is why I told the teacher off.) Duterte shared students who felt discomfort because of the words uttered by the teacher could undergo psychosocial support. "Meron naman tayong psychosocial support sa ating teachers. We have teachers who are trained for stress debriefing, lalo na sa ating disaster program. So pwede itong gawin kung meron mang bata na nag-manifest na meron siyang anxiety o stress na naramdaman dahil sa nangyari," she said. (We have psychosocial support for our teachers. We have teachers who are trained for stress debriefing, especially in our disaster program. So we could do these as well if there are children who are manifesting anxiety or stress.)

UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he

Russia captures town after 2 years of Ukrainian resistance --- Reuters

Russian forces now control 98.5% of Luhansk, 60% of Donetsk MOSCOW: Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow's forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia's vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it. Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and "preserve personnel and military equipment". The Russian defense ministry did not mention Vuhledar in its daily battlefield report. Russian Telegram channels, however, published video of troops waving the Russian tricolor flag over shattered buildings. The town, which had a population of over 14,000 before the war, has been devastated, with Soviet-era

Vietnam condemns China's 'brutal behavior' in fisher attack ---- Agence France-Presse

HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam's foreign ministry condemned on Wednesday China's "brutal behavior" during a violent attack on Vietnamese fishers in the disputed South China Sea. The 10 fishermen were reportedly beaten with iron bars and robbed of thousands of dollars' worth of fish and equipment on Sunday off the Paracel Islands -- an archipelago in the resource-rich waterway claimed by China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. Vietnam "resolutely protests the brutal behavior of Chinese law enforcement forces against Vietnamese fishermen and fishing vessels operating in the Hoang Sa archipelago of Vietnam", foreign ministry spokesperson Vietnam Pham Thu Hang said in a statement, using the Vietnamese term for the Paracel Islands. "The above actions of Chinese law enforcement forces seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty" over the archipelago, the statement said. Four of the Vietnamese crew were taken to hospital on Monday
