The need for said budget proposal was sent through private message in Facebook by Bro. AL to the District In-Charge this evening, July 11, 2015 that may be read as follows:

Bro AL:         Brother Moore, this is for tomorrow's planning meeting for 2015-16 at the Dep ed office of Nurse Hja Shareen: for what AAI can do as our basic programs, but can be expanded depending on funding, which I am working on now. Another shipment of books and school supplies and the eco-bags is enroute to Jolo from manila by sea. But it make take a little time because of the typhoon. : Please inform the group that we have more books and other school supplies coming. But it is important we set goals for the feeding/ nutrition and school clinic program; and also the Gulayan sa Paaralan gardening to have locally grown foods for each school. Will send details later. I also wish to know about the summer programs for students and teachers and nurses. And I will contact the Dept of Agri rep at Phil Embassy in DC this week to try to get support for the Gulayan sa Paaralan program expansion. Important question for each of our schools is can parents have a weekly volunteer schedule to assist with the cooking and feeding -- the entire school year. Four nice lunch meals per week. We need a menu for each day of the week so we can budget appropriately, not more than 10 pesos per child to make big pots of soups and purchase big bags of rice and get good prices from farmers and fishermen and merchants for purchasing large quantities, in addition to school gardens. Magsukol.

There are still books at SSC. You can use some for summer reading programs at a couple of your District's schools that you earlier inquired about.

Should I send funds now for Pasil for seeds and watering buckets? Please send me a budget.

DIC:                I will talk first with Faisal Kadil Head Teacher of Pasil about the budget proposal

Okay. We can sustain momentum with seeds and water pails if needed, right away.

Ramadan Mubarack to you and your family and extended community.

Bro AL:        Thanks, Brother. Let's start with Pasil ES for now as an assessment location who already has great effort. After Eid Fitr I will send other funds through Hja Pinky Shareen and Sis Mercia for the overall 7 schools in the first group of the AAI-DA-DepEd partnership program. But please discuss with all of your schools from Indanan such as Kasambuhan, Pasil, ansd Mukammali, so I can plan the budget well with our DA and DepEd Health partners... and AAi can fill gaps in DA actual funds in-hand. The training is coming very soon by DA-DepEd-AAI.

Can parents attending help with cooking some snacks as their counterpart at the training? That will free up more AAI funds for more seeds and tools and water pails for irrigation if needed. What do you think about that?

I wish to make sure as many additional schools as possible can be trained and started in the second group by conserving funds and have affordable counterpart from community in first stage.

Teamwork or tabangtabang is our strength. Wassalam.

As one can see the highlighted message in the first statement of Bro AL, goals for the following programs shall be set properly for better implementation of every MOBE school in Indanan South District. 

Furthermore, AAI President asked every MOBE school if parents can have weekly volunteer service to assist with the cooking and feeding in the school.

Therefore, you have to specify your objectives in doing those school programs or projects and fail not describe what the project is all about. In your proposal, state the objectives, strategies,time frame, persons involved, materials/items/equipments/tools and financial needed and the last column shall be success indicator of the projects/programs.

School is Permanent; Administrator is Temporary

School is permanent. It may accommodate thousands and even million of school heads, administrators or managers. It continues to exist in its school site so long as this world exists, too. End of the world is unpredictable. Similarly, end of the school is mysterious to every school administrators. In elementary for instance, learners or students just stay for seven years. Afterwards, students, whether they like or not have to leave the school and proceed to the next level of school which is the secondary school and so on until they reach tertiary school. Four to five years will be the end of learners' stay in the school. There is no better place for the accommodation of the seekers of knowledge than the school. It may serve like a refinery for the teachers to sharpen student's consciousness. Thus, the government spends much money, efforts and time for the establishment of school in every barangay, municipality, province, region and the nation as a whole so that every child is catered in response to the principle of EFA (Education For All). Every year, the government expects children to enter the schools in any levels of education.

"Mukammali ES. Make it three to include Pasil Elementary School," the DIC recommended.

"Let's have first six in that kind of approach. Pasil ES will be included in the regular program of DA Gulayan sa Paaralan," DA head justified.

Fortunately, Fai was so expeditious reporter whom I viewed his post in Facebook. He hurriedly posted every geo-tagged photo of the different schools in Facebook website that night. He also tagged me to all images that he posted in his timeline.

To my surprise, I witnessed with my both sights the uploaded file in DOC (District Online Communications), Facebook group of ISD teachers, learners, supporters, mentors, parents, regional and division school officials and other educational stakeholders from DepEd and Non-Governmental Office who are in one way or the other in promoting quality education in the Municipality of Indanan. The file was abouth the consolidated report on schools' geo-tagging encoded in Microsoft excel. He had the consolidation form for the entire Sulu Division where he finally entered the latitude and longitude information of all schools recorded in his photo gallery. It was he who made ISD first to submit geo-tagging report to the Office of the Planning Section headed by Hja. Insih Asaari.

Geo-tagging consolidation report prepared by Fai caused this blog to appear online for record purposes of ISD. The DIC was so grateful and proud of his administrative responsibility as school head. His work was captured into a photo-like image done through snipping tool for clarity and brightness to display in the bloggers site of ISD.

Viewers of this blog might wonder why Cmdr. Bara Jalaidi Primary School and Sapie Primary School did not show their latitude and longitude calculation because of their distance from the main road during the conduct of school-to-school geo-tagging journey of Fai and Ya'. Cmdr. Bara Jalaidi Primary School is located in Barangay Karawan based on its original site. It has been relocated; however; to Barangay Panabuan since many years ago for the reason of unstable peace and order circumstances in its original location. Temporarily, this primary school lies in the campus of its main school, the Panglima Ahajan Elementary School headed by Mussah A. Arabain, Head Teacher - III. Mussah A. Arabain is still in planning for the relocation of Cmdr. Bara Jalaidi again into nearby area of Barangay Karawan so that this primary school would be captured with geo-tagged photos.

In case of Sapie Primary School, annex of Langpas Elementary School headed by Hja. Nalda J. Muksan, ESHT - III, Fai and Ya' were not able to reach there in so far as its location in the far-flung area was concerned. Proper coordination with the Barangay Headman should be made first before an activity like geo-tagging could be started. In-Charge of the geo-tagging work just briefed Hja. Nalda A. Muksan on the skill of geo-tagging then it's up for her to schedule for the capturing of geo-tagged photos in her annex. Sapie Primary School is located in the center of Barangay Paligue which is very exposed place to the situation of family feud, grudge and other forms of conflict.

The DIC has already phoned the Regional Planning personnel about the conditions of the two primary schools. He requested to wait for some possible time for the geo-tagging reports of the two primary schools. Jonathan Omar, personnel of the Regional Planning approved the DIC's request provided it could be made within the month of June.
