POPE Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 women inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday, March 28, 2024, ritual meant to emphasize his vocation of service and humility.The 87-year-old Francis performed the ritual from his wheelchair, after recent ailments have compounded his mobility problems. The Rebibbia prison venue was outfitted to accommodate his needs: The women sat on stools on a raised-up platform, enabling the pope to move down the line with ease from his wheelchair without having to strain himself.Many of the women wept as Francis washed their feet, gently pouring water over one bared foot and patting it dry with a small towel. He finished the gesture by kissing each foot, often looking up to the woman with a smile.The Holy Thursday foot-washing ceremony is a hallmark of every Holy Week and recalls the foot-washing Jesus performed on his 12 apostles at their last supper together before he was crucified.Francis revolutionized the ritual for the Vatican by insisting, from his very first Holy Thursday as pope in 2013, to include women and people of other faiths among the 12. Previously, popes performed the ritual on Catholic men only at a Rome basilica.Francis has traveled each year to a prison, refugee center or youth detention facility to emphasize his belief that a priest’s vocation is to serve especially those most on the margins. In his brief homily, delivered off-the-cuff, Francis explained the meaning of the gesture.“Jesus humiliates himself,” Francis said. “With this gesture, he makes us understand what he had said: ‘I am not here to be served, but to serve.’”“He teaches us the path of service,” Francis said.Francis appeared in good shape at the prison, even after presiding over a long Mass earlier in the day in St. Peter's Basilica. During the morning liturgy, he delivered a lengthy homily with a set of marching orders to Rome-based priests at the start of a busy few days leading to Easter.Francis has been hobbled by a long bout of respiratory problems this winter and in recent weeks has asked an aide to read aloud his remarks to spare him the strain. On Palm Sunday, he skipped his homily altogether.But Francis seemed energized by his visit to the Rebibbia prison, where he was given a basket of vegetables grown in the prison garden as well as two liturgical stoles embroidered by the inmates.Francis, for his part, regifted a framed image of the Madonna that he had been given, saying as soon as he received it he thought of the women at Rebibbia. He also gave a big chocolate Easter egg to the young son of one of the inmates.Even with Holy Thursday events wrapped up, Francis has a busy few days coming up that will test his stamina.On Friday, he is due to travel at night to the Colosseum for the Way of the Cross procession re-enacting Christ’s crucifixion. On Saturday, he presides over an evening Easter Vigil in St. Peter’s Basilica followed a few hours later by Easter Sunday Mass in the piazza and his big noontime Urbi et Orbi (to the city and the world) speech highlighting global conflicts and disasters afflicting humanity.

Philippines SOME parents and guardians in Cebu have voiced apprehension over the suspension of physical classes, fearing it could hinder and delay the student’s academic progress.However, an official from the Department of Education (DepEd) 7 expressed a contrasting view, saying that the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic have taught the education department how to work on its lapses.Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, through a memorandum dated April 5, 2024, indefinitely suspended in-person classes in the province due to the extreme heat. Her decision came after at least 22 local chief executives in the province had already issued directives to change the delivery mode of education in response to the El Niño phenomenon.In Cebu City, Mayor Michael Rama issued an executive order (EO) on April 6, adjusting class schedules for all educational levels.

It should not be that we prepare when the calamity is already there and go to school to get the modules,” he added.“Catch-up Fridays”Jimenez said the implementation of “Catch-up Friday” has become instrumental in cultivating a love for reading among children, a skill he believed will be beneficial under modular learning.He said this program by DepEd helps address learning gaps among grade school and high school students by dedicating every Friday throughout the school year to reading and values peace and health education.DepEd started implementing Catch-up Friday on Jan. 12.

For example, those who are receiving full 24-hour service, will now have 22 or 20 hours instead. So the other supply will be given to the less,” she said.Gerodias said water tankers are on standby to provide aid to areas that do not have any water supply.Unlike in the past, she said they will not ask residents to form lines to receive water. Instead, they will directly inject the water from the tankers into the distribution lines for safety reasons, she said.This method will ensure that the distribution of water is accurately accounted for, she said. If water is manually distributed, it cannot be metered, which results in non-revenue water.Gerodias said they are taking this step to ensure the water supply is not interrupted, but the water pressure may be reduced.Gerodias is urging the public to conserve water and to avoid wastage. She emphasized the need for everyone to practice water-saving measures so there will be enough supply to cater to all consumers.Although they cannot shut down carwashes, Gerodias appealed to these establishments to reduce their water pressure to avoid unnecessary wastage.“We encourage prudent use of water. I think it is our responsibility, not only during the El Niño but every day... We hope the public to responsibly use the water, particularly that we are short on supply,” she said.Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent. The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warns that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / AML, KJF

SOME parents and guardians in Cebu have voiced apprehension over the suspension of physical classes, fearing it could hinder and delay the student’s academic progress.However, an official from the Department of Education (DepEd) 7 expressed a contrasting view, saying that the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic have taught the education department how to work on its lapses.Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, through a memorandum dated April 5, 2024, indefinitely suspended in-person classes in the province due to the extreme heat. Her decision came after at least 22 local chief executives in the province had already issued directives to change the delivery mode of education in response to the El Niño phenomenon.In Cebu City, Mayor Michael Rama issued an executive order (EO) on April 6, adjusting class schedules for all educational levels. Under his EO, morning classes will start at 6 a.m. and end at noon, while afternoon classes will run from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.Structured learning timeWith these, students under modular distance learning utilize self-learning modules available in either print or digital form that are usually implemented in schools in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Patricia, not her real name, 24, said her eight-year-old niece is among the students affected by the suspension of physical classes due to the heat, leading them to study using modules at home.She, however, said her niece is left on her own to study most of the time.“Honestly, we do not have time anymore; just like me, after my work at a university, I immediately prepare to go to bed and just rest,” she said.Likewise, Junesya Yta, from Cebu City and a parent of two school-aged children, opposes school suspensions because they result in her kids having increased screen time.Yta emphasized the importance of supervision and structured learning time provided in schools.“If they’re in school, at least someone will supervise them, and they can dedicate more time to their classes,” she said, adding that the scorching heat persists regardless of school suspensions, affecting them even within the confines of their homes.‘Nothing to worry’DepEd 7 Director Salustiano Jimenez said parents have nothing to worry about since the department is strategically implementing the modular learning of students.He said they have already acknowledged the shortcomings in the implementation of modular learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, and these serve as the basis for their current development of modules and techniques.He added that the teachers are already instructed to provide modules to students even without calamities allowing them to study and learn outside of school.“So when the time comes, (if) these kids are told to study with their modules, they can do it. It should not be that we prepare when the calamity is already there and go to school to get the modules,” he added.“Catch-up Fridays”Jimenez said the implementation of “Catch-up Friday” has become instrumental in cultivating a love for reading among children, a skill he believed will be beneficial under modular learning.He said this program by DepEd helps address learning gaps among grade school and high school students by dedicating every Friday throughout the school year to reading and values peace and health education.DepEd started implementing Catch-up Friday on Jan. 12. No shortened school-yearMeanwhile, Jimenez reiterated that it is not possible to shorten the school year amid calls from parents to shorten it due to intense heat.Jimenez said the current school year has already been shortened. Further changes to the school calendar to accommodate the request would now be illegal, he added.He said that there must be a minimum of 180 non-negotiable school days for classes to be held each school year.DepEd Order 23 in 2016, highlighted that both public and private elementary and secondary schools are mandated to strictly observe 202 school days, with 180 days designated as non-negotiable contact time for teachers. / KJF licensed online casinos CONSUMERS are urged to conserve water as production at Metropolitan Cebu Water District’s (MCWD) surface water facility reaches critical level, losing at least 29,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) due to the ongoing dry spell caused by El Niño.That’s 4,000 CMD more than what the water district reported last March 5, 2024.In a press conference held at the MCWD’s surface water facility in Barangay Jaclupan in Talisay City on Wednesday, March 13, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III said the water district faces a water production deficit, affections portions of the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay.Daluz said the reductions have occurred across various surface water facilities.In Jaclupan and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran, Cebu City, production has dropped from 30,000 CMD to 20,000 CMD, while production at the Buhisan Dam has fallen to 4,000 CMD from 6,000 CMD.Under normal circumstances, MCWD produces 301,000 CMD, but production is down to 272,000 CMD.Daluz said as part of MCWD’s intervention, they are delivering water to upland areas that are experiencing intermittent water supply.MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso urged the directly affected consumers to conserve water due to the limited supply.Donoso said the production deficit has affected a total of 35,000 households from all service areas.MCWD provides water to the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Donoso said the impact of the El Niño extends beyond surface water to include groundwater, although the effects on groundwater are unnoticeable.Meanwhile, Daluz also associated MCWD’s challenges to the non-issuance of excavation permits, which they need for the sourcing and distribution of line projects and leak repairs.Edgar Ortega, MCWD assistant general manager for operation, said that despite the dry spell, the water district does not need to ration water in affected areas.Ortega said they have eight tankers that will be used to deliver water in areas where the water cannot reach due to low pressure.He said they currently deliver water to Barangay Lagtang, Maghaway and Pooc in Talisay City; Sitios Maracas and Sudlon in Barangay Lahug and Sitio Banawa in Barangay Guadalupe in Cebu City; and Barangays Cabancalan, Maguikay and Umapad in Mandaue City.In an interview with “Beyond the Headlines,” SunStar Cebu’s online news and commentary program, on Tuesday, March 12, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said they expect the delivery of 30,000 CMD of desalinated water from three sources starting in April.“That is why we are hoping additional water sources, those desalinated water projects, can provide initial deliveries next month,” she said.She said the supply will come from the desalination plants in Barangay Opao, Mandaue City, Barangay Mambaling Cebu City, and Cordova town on Mactan Island.She clarified that these are only initial deliveries since the plants in Barangays Mambaling and Opao can each produce 25,000 cubic meters when fully functional, while the plant in Cordova can produce 20,000 cubic meters.“But, hopefully, these initial deliveries are already of big help,” she said.Gerodias said the additional 30,000 CMD will be just enough to augment the water shortage of 29,000 CMD.MCWD is currently “balancing the distribution,” meaning areas with complete water service share their water with areas experiencing intermittent or no water.“Our production department will do something about it so that we can at least balance our available supply. For example, those who are receiving full 24-hour service, will now have 22 or 20 hours instead. So the other supply will be given to the less,” she said.Gerodias said water tankers are on standby to provide aid to areas that do not have any water supply.Unlike in the past, she said they will not ask residents to form lines to receive water. Instead, they will directly inject the water from the tankers into the distribution lines for safety reasons, she said.This method will ensure that the distribution of water is accurately accounted for, she said. If water is manually distributed, it cannot be metered, which results in non-revenue water.Gerodias said they are taking this step to ensure the water supply is not interrupted, but the water pressure may be reduced.Gerodias is urging the public to conserve water and to avoid wastage. She emphasized the need for everyone to practice water-saving measures so there will be enough supply to cater to all consumers.Although they cannot shut down carwashes, Gerodias appealed to these establishments to reduce their water pressure to avoid unnecessary wastage.“We encourage prudent use of water. I think it is our responsibility, not only during the El Niño but every day... We hope the public to responsibly use the water, particularly that we are short on supply,” she said.Alfredo Quiblat Jr., chief of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas, earlier announced that Cebu has officially been under a dry spell since the last week of February.A dry spell refers to three consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, or a drop of 21 percent to 60 percent, or two consecutive months of way below-normal rainfall, or a drop of more than 60 percent. The El Niño phenomenon leads to decreased precipitation or, in some cases, a complete absence of rainfall, which can significantly impact crop yields and pose various environmental and economic challenges.Pagasa also warns that the phenomenon may persist until the end of May. / AML, KJF
