Mama Sapano: 

a surgical operation

In the early phase of the inquiries involving the Mama Sapano debacle, one senior PNP officer said that the SAF (Special Action Force) operation against international terrorist, Zulkifli Bin Hiralyas, aka “Marwan,” was a “surgical operation” of sorts.  Few people might have picked up the term that he used as he didn’t bother to explain it at all.

Across the levels of learning, one of the emergent worse-case issues in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) reveals the basic education non-reader phenomenon.
This scenario of a NON-READER is caused by interlinked factors accumulating in alarming complexity if undetected for remediation earlier. The non-reader comes from high school and intermediate grades possessing reading miscues or disorders in pre-reading, oral reading, decoding, comprehension, and study skills. (Pesirla, 2005)

   San Carlos has a long history which in many respects mirrors the history of the country. The problem is that few people know much of this, and as the older generation pass away, much of this is either forgotten or lost to the next generation. This need not be so

Misencounter ug uban pa 

   Kinsa may mutuo anang ‘misencounter’ nga kuno maoy nahitabo sa engkwentro  sa Mamasapano , Maguindanao tali sa Special Action Force  (SAF) sa Philippine National Police (PNP) , Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) ug Bansamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) ug lain pa gyud nga grupo.

   Sa kadugay sa mga eksperto mohimo ug bomba sa ilahang lugar wala gyud ni makuha sa giingon nga area sa MILF? Karon nga gisulod sa mga SAF commandos ang ila katarungan nga walay nahitabong coordination sa dihang misulod sa ilang area. Unya sa ‘volume of fire’ ang ilahang armas tua ra gyud padulong sa mga SAF commando nga kuno natalang didto  sa lugar sa BIFF ug laing grupo nga mibanat sa mga pulis.
