This is the first international math contest for 12-year-old Casib, who experienced the horror of the Marawi Siege in May last year. The Casib family fled to Cagayan de Oro on May 24, 2017, a day after the siege started, enduring a 13-hour journey with no food and water. In Cagayan de Oro, the young Casib found solace in math and became an MTG trainee last year. “The experience was terrifying. It was horror! He saw the burning of the chapel from the balcony of our home. He heard deafening gunfire and saw the people literally running for their lives coursing thru a dangerous terrain, a road not identified by the GPS (we took diversionary road because of the traffic.). No food, no water for 13-hour travel,” according to his dad, Dr. Norodin Casib. The dad added, “It was such a traumatic experience to him that he always cried everytime Marawi is mentioned. Mathematically speaking, according to him, it was beyond limit. We took shelter in Cagayan de Oro and there we found MTG. Gradually, this horrific experience vanished from his mind. God is good.” Besides the Philippines, other countries and territories that joined this year’s contest, held from July 16 to 20, are Australia, Bulgaria, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, US and Vietnam.

Pero marami po kasi ang nagrereklamo laban sa mga open pipes. Ilan na dito yaong mga residente na nagigising kung may nagmomotor sa gabi o madaling araw na may open pipe,” sabi ni Buted. Sinabi rin niya na ayon sa pag-aaral ng PNP, nagiging rason din ng aksidente ang mga ito kung kaya’t nararapat lamang na aksyunan na ang ganitong mga uri ng motor. Nakapaloob sa ordinansa na lahat ng drivers at operators ng motor ay nararapat maglagay ng silencer sa kanilang mga tambutso. Itinuturing na labag sa batas ang pagpapatakbo ng motor na walang kaukulang exhaust silencer lalo’t higit sa mga maiingay na motor. Ang mahuhuling lumabag sa ordinansa ay maaaring magmulta ng P2,500. Maaari ring ma-impound ang motor at ang mga modified na parte nito ay kukumpiskahin. Matapos mabayaran ang penalty at maibalik ang original part ng tambutso, dito pa lamang maaaring i-release ang impounded na sasakyan kasama na ang P200 na impounding fee kada araw. Nakatakdang isalang sa committee hearing ang naturang ordinansa sa susunod na linggo. (PIO Batangas City)
