Kidapawan City— The Schools Division (SDO) of Kidapawan City officially commenced the Division Training of Teachers on the Revised Grades 6, 9, and 10 Curriculum through an opening program held today at Kidapawan City National High School.
The four-day activity, held from May 28 to 31, 2026, brings together hundreds of educators from both public and private schools in preparation for implementing the Revised K to 10 Curriculum for School Year 2026–2027.

The conduct of the training is anchored on DM-OULS-2026-082 titled “Conduct of the Training on the Revised Grades 6, 9, and 10 Curriculum,” which aims to equip teachers with the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to effectively implement the revised curriculum standards and instructional approaches in their respective classrooms.

As the Department of Education continues to strengthen the delivery of quality basic education through the implementation of the said Revised Curriculum, the said initiative seeks to streamline learning competencies, focus on foundational skills, and provide learners with meaningful and developmentally appropriate educational experiences.

A total of 770 teaching personnel from public schools and 87 teaching personnel from private schools are participating in the division-wide training. The participation of private school teachers was formalized through Division Memorandum No. 100, CID-2026, titled “Participation of Private Schools in the Division Training of Teachers on the Revised Grades 6, 9, and 10 Curriculum.” Supporting the implementation of the activity are 65 learning facilitators who will guide participants throughout the series of learning sessions, workshops, and collaborative engagements.

The opening program highlighted the importance of teacher preparedness in the successful implementation of the Revised K to 10 Curriculum. Atty. Janice P. Caraballe, CPA, MBA (OIC-Schools Division Superintendent), emphasized that teachers serve as the frontliners of curriculum reform and play a critical role in shaping learners who are academically competent, resilient, and future-ready.

Throughout the training, participants will engage in lectures, collaborative workshops, demonstration teaching, and reflective discussions designed to deepen their understanding of the curriculum’s key revisions, as the sessions will focus on the restructured learning competencies, contextualized and inclusive teaching strategies, differentiated instruction, instructional planning, and standards-based assessment practices aligned with the revised curriculum framework.

As the training progresses over the next three days, participating teachers are expected to emerge better equipped to implement innovative and learner-centered educational practices that align with the goals of the Revised K to 10 Curriculum and the broader vision of educational transformation in the Philippines.

Paghahabi ng Titik at Kaluluwa: Sinimulan ang Unang Yugto ng Paghubog ng Ortograpiyang Ubu Monuvu sa Kidapawan

KIDAPAWAN CITY – Sa gitna ng malamig na simoy ng hangin at luntiang kapaligiran ng Paaralang Integral ng Lake Agco, nagtipon ang mga pantas, edukador, at dalubhasa mula ika-13 hanggang ika-15 ng Mayo, 2026 para sa isang makasaysayang gawain: ang Unang Yugto ng pagbuo at paghubog ng Ortograpiyang Ubu Monuvu. Ito ay hakbang na nagpapatunay na ang pag-unlad ng wika ay sabay na pagtupad sa batas at pagpangalaga sa sariling pagkakakilanlan.

Ang gawaing ito ay tuwirang isinakatuparan sa bisa ng Batas Republika 12027, ang batas na nag-uutos sa Kagawaran ng Edukasyon (DepEd) na pamunuan ang pagbuo at paglinang ng mga ortograpiya ng mga katutubong wika. Higit pa rito, binibigyang-linaw ng batas ang dalawang mahalagang tungkulin ng kagawaran: isagawa ang pagmamapa ng mga wika sa bansa, at lubusang igalang ang karapatan ng mga Katutubong Komunidad at Mamamayang Katutubo – “Indigenous Cultural Communities and Indigenous Peoples retain the right to establish and control their own educational systems according to their linguistic and cultural needs.” Ang ortograpiyang binubuo ay hindi lamang sumusunod sa pamantayan, kundi nakaugat sa sariling kagustuhan, pangangailangan, at pagkatao ng mga Ubu Monuvu.

Bilang pundasyon ng gawain, ginamit at pinalawak ang mga naunang kagamitang pampagkatuto na inilathala na ng IPEd Kidapawan City – mga materyales na binuo at pinagyaman na kasama ang Ubu Monuvu Buyyahon, ang kapulungan ng mga matatanda at tagapangalaga ng kaalaman at tradisyon ng tribo. Ito ay nagsilbing pinagsamang paghahabi ng mga dati nang karunungan at bagong pamantayan upang mabuo ang buo at maayos na balangkas kung paano isulat, basahin, at bigkasin nang tama ang wikang Ubu Monuvu.

Ang proyekto ay bunga ng matibay na pakikipagtambalan. Naging pangunahing katuwang at gabay ang Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino (KWF), ang ahensya ng pamahalaan na itinalaga ng batas na maging tagapagtakda ng pamantayang pangwika sa buong bansa. Sa pangunguna ng pinuno nito na si Atty. Marites A. Barrios-Tarn, CPA, at sa pamamatnubay ng mga dalubhasa sa lingguwistika ng ahensya, tiniyak na ang bawat tuntunin at simbolo ay naaayon sa pambansang pamantayan habang pinapanatili ang kakaibang katangian ng wika. Katuwang din sa pagsisikap ang Pamantasan ng Timog Mindanao (University of Southern Mindanao), sa pamumuno ng Sentro ng Wika at Kultura, kasama ang iba pang sangay at indibiduwal na may wagas na pagmamahal at malasakit sa gawaing ito.

Mula sa gabay ng mga eksperto at mandato ng batas, maisakatuparan ang masusing pagsasaayos ng nilalaman sa pangunguna ng Tagapamahala ng Dibisyong Pang-Edukasyon na si Miguel S. Filialan ng SDO Kidapawan City, at ng IPEd Kidapawan na kinakatawan ni Dr. Alma M. Belarmino. Mahigpit na sinunod at inalatag ang lahat ng bahagi ng ortograpiya ayon sa pamantayang itinakda ng KWF, ngunit hindi tumigil doon ang gawain: bawat tuntunin, bawat simbolo, at bawat tuntunin sa pagbigkas ay maingat na hinubog at inangkop upang maging ganap na akma, at upang maibigay ang tumpak na timpla at orihinal na panlasa ng wikang Ubu Monuvu – mula sa puso ng komunidad, hanggang sa puso ng bawat mag-aaral na gagamit nito.

Nakaugat ang buong pagsisikap sa malalim at makabuluhang kaisipang naging gabay ng lahat ng kalahok:

"Kinohiyan kos ukitan to kotuwiggan, Kotuwiggan kos ginawa to kultura de-en kinohiyan kos od poodtu to od ingumannan to kultura."

“Wika ang duluyan ng kaalaman;
Kaalaman ang puso ng kultura;
Kaya wika ang nagdidikta ng patutunguhan ng kultura.”

Ang Ortograpiyang Ubu Monuvu ay higit pa sa isang gabay sa pagbaybay o sistema ng pagsulat. Ito ay magiging daan upang sa mga salinlahing darating, ang wika at kultura ng mga Ubu Monuvu ay manatili, yumabong, at namamayagpag. Ang bawat linyang nakasulat, bawat tuntuning itinakda, ay may haplos na gumiginhawa sa puso ng katutubong komunidad ng Kidapawan – at may hagud na nagsasabing ito ay gawa at bunga ng mga taong tunay na nagmamahal at nagpapahalaga sa pamana ng mga katutubong komunidad.

SDO Kidapawan, USM forge partnership to strengthen Farm School Education

In a significant move to advance agricultural education and strengthen food security initiatives in schools, the Schools Division of Kidapawan City and the University of Southern Mindanao–College of Agriculture (USM-CA) held a productive partnership meeting on May 15, 2026, aimed at providing technical and technological support to four secondary schools set to implement Farm School Programs this coming opening of classes.

Led by Schools Division Superintendent Miguel P. Filallan Jr., CESO V, the engagement highlighted the readiness and development plans of Amas National High School, Binoligan Integrated School, Gayola National High School, and Ginatilan National High School, which are preparing to offer specialized agricultural education beginning June 2026. During the meeting, SDS Filallan emphasized that the initiative is anchored on the Division’s long-standing agricultural and sustainability programs such as Gulayan sa Paaralan, agricultural components under TLE/TVL, and the “Pommowanan sa Kidapawan Project,” which previously enabled SDO Kidapawan to receive support projects worth Php500,000 from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), including the Itik Pinas and ZamPen Chicken projects implemented at Balabag Elementary School.

Meanwhile, Curriculum Implementation Division Chief Dr. Ronela S. Molina explained that while awaiting the formal approval of the farm school conversion from the Regional Office, the identified schools may already integrate agricultural components in the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) specialization of incoming Grade 7 learners. Among the proposed specializations are agricultural crop production, livestock production, aquaculture, and fruit tree growing.

Representing USM-College of Agriculture, Dr. Lorelyn Joy N. Turnos and Dr. Mark Al-jamie J. Muttulani assured the Division of the university’s continued technical assistance and knowledge-sharing support to ensure the sustainability of the program. Aside from the identified agricultural tracks, USM-CA also expressed its willingness to introduce innovative technologies and practices such as mushroom production, vermicomposting, hydroponics, microgreens production, vertical and urban gardening, and wine making. The university likewise committed to extending assistance in research, extension, and development initiatives for both teachers and learners.

Further strengthening the initiative, SDS Filallan shared that the City Government of Kidapawan has allocated Php1 million in support of the establishment and operationalization of the farm school programs in the identified schools. He underscored that the partnership reflects a collective commitment to provide learners with accessible, relevant, and liberating education that responds to the needs of the community while instilling among the youth the value, dignity, and importance of agriculture in nation-building and sustainable food production.

With the collaboration between SDO Kidapawan, USM-CA, and the local government, the Division continues to pave the way for a more responsive educational landscape that nurtures future agriculturists and empowers learners to become active contributors to food security and rural development.
