UP Manila grad tops list of 175 new dentists - Yahoo! News
UP Manila grad tops list of 175 new dentists - Yahoo! News
A student from University of the Philippines Manila topped the Dentist Licensure Examination given by the Professional Regulation Commission Board of Dentistry on held on June 1 and 2, 2011.
Crisostomo Ibarra Cadite Tanyag topped the list of successful examinees with an 84.64 percent rating.
Also in the Top 10 were Weby Cabe Claracay (83.30%), Maria Patricia Zaragoze Francisco (83.10%), Ana Rose Paulino Padua (82.93%), Justine Victoria Mantolino Porter (82.76%), Maria Angelica Bagdiong Barrameda (82.46%), Mara Charlene Laurel Santos (82.40%), Niela Zaraspe Biscocho (82.34%), Jonathan Lim Rosario (82.33%) and Sandra Dy Samonte (82.10%).
Tanyag told GMA News Online that he was watching a movie when he was informed through text message that he had topped the exam.
Before the exam, he said he was not expecting anything. "Nakatulog pa nga ako nung theoretical. Nag-alala seatmates ko na baka hindi ako magising," he said.
"Pero mataas naman yung grade, kaya feeling ko baka may chance ako kaya gagalingan ko na sa practical," recalled Tanyag.
Tanyag shared that the practical exam is pageant-like, with some students competing to have the best-looking preparation and the best-looking work.
"Pero ang purpose is to determine kung sino yung legally na puwede mag-practice," he said.
"But it's not a reason for you not to do your best," said the topnotcher.
Tanyag said he hopes to set up a private clinic.
Asked if he will teach at UP, he said he is not sure. "Kasi may reputation na ako doon na pasaway. I don't see myself as a good example. Puro kasi patawa ginagawa ko. Lahat daw ginagawan ko ng shortcut," he said.
Of the total 183 examinees, 175 passed the exams, with the University of the East and Centro Escolar University as the top performing schools. But six of those in the Top-10 list were from the University of the Philippines-Manila.
The results were released a day after the last day of examinations and were posted on the official website. The complete list of successful examinees may be viewed at http://www.prc.gov.ph/documents/DENT0611se.pdf — LBG, GMA News

BFAR: Losses from Batangas fish kill now at P136M - Yahoo! News
BFAR: Losses from Batangas fish kill now at P136M - Yahoo! News
The losses to fish pen operators from the fish kill that hit the Batangas area has zoomed up to P136 million, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources said Saturday.
BFAR Region IV-A OIC director Esmeralda Manalang said the losses may affect workers maitaining some 234 fish cages owned by 23 operators in the area.
"Mga P136 million na ang total losses, ang cost of damages. [Ang apektadong isda] mahigit 1,800 metric tons na," Manalang said in an interview on dzBB radio.
She said the losses may stop going up once the weather stabilizes and the water condition improves, such that it will support aquatic life again.
Last Thursday, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said the fish kill incidents in Pangasinan and Batangas provinces had caused at least P115.536 million.
The NDRRMC's Thursday update had indicated the figure includes P74.826 million in four villages in Batangas province.
Losses from Pangasinan as of last Thursday were estimated at P40,710,300, the NDRRMC added. — LBG, GMA News

iPads replacing note pads as Asian schools go high-tech - Yahoo! News
iPads replacing note pads as Asian schools go high-tech - Yahoo! News
Apple's iPad and other tablet computers are replacing traditional note pads in some Asian schools and making the lives of thousands of students a whole lot easier.
Soon pupils could be reading on their tablets about a quaint old communication device called "paper", especially in Asia's advanced economies where many schools are racing towards a paperless classroom.
The slim glass slabs slip easily into a bag and can store thousands of textbooks, making a fat school bag full of heavy books, pens and notepads a thing of the past.
"I like the iPad because it is portable and we do not have to carry so many bags and files around," said 13-year-old Nicole Ong, who now makes notes on her iPad during class at Nanyang Girls' High School in Singapore.
A sample group of more than 120 students and 16 teachers at the school have been given iPads, at a cost of over $100,000. By 2013, every student in the school will have one.
The number of software applications -- or apps -- that can be used for educational purposes on tablet computers is set to explode.
It's a brand new business that even media mogul Rupert Murdoch has identified as an area of huge potential growth.
Murdoch said his News Corp group is to push into the education technology market in a speech to the e-G8 conference of Internet entrepreneurs and European policymakers in Paris last month.
He described education as the "last holdout from the digital revolution" and outlined a vision for personalised learning with lessons delivered by the world’s best teachers to thousands of students via the Internet.
"Today’s classroom looks almost exactly the same as it did in the Victorian age," Murdoch added.
But many Asian schools are already way ahead of the game.
"No longer is language learning solely based on the teacher commenting on students' works -- classmates can feedback on one another," said Seah Hui Yong, curriculum dean of Nanyang.
Rene Yeo, head of the information technology department at Tampines Secondary School, also in Singapore, teaches science with his iPad. His students learn factorisation by simply moving the numbers around on the screen.
They also read about animal cells and the human brain structure by clicking on the various parts. And tablet computers make the double helix structure of a human DNA practically come to life before a student's eyes.
There are apps to learn English and maths, pupils can do cause and effect analysis on iBrainstorm, prepare for oral exams and speeches with AudioNote and even strum the guitar for a music lesson on GarageBand.
The rise of classroom technology will mirror its rise throughout society, says Sam Han, a US-based expert on the role of technology in education.
Han, instructional technology fellow at the Macaulay Honors College, City University of New York, said he expects some Asian countries to leapfrog the West.
"While the Internet was birthed in the US, Singapore and South Korea (for example) boast far greater broadband Internet access penetration and infrastructure than the US," he said.
Japan's communications ministry has given tablets to more than 3,000 under-12 pupils at 10 elementary schools and even fitted classrooms with interactive electronic blackboards under the so-called "future school" pilot project.
In South Korea, where schools have WiFi zones, the education ministry has been testing 'digital textbooks' in some schools since 2007. In 2012, the ministry says it will decide whether to supply tablets to schools nationwide.
Singapore has a hugely competitive education system known for its high level of science and mathematics instruction. The education ministry provides a grant for schools to buy this kind of equipment, as well as software and services.
Many schools already have WiFi, making it easy for students to connect to the Internet.
But some teachers acknowledged there are students who get distracted by playing games or surfing Facebook and other social media sites like Twitter.
Education psychologist Qiu Lin cautioned against schools getting carried away and promoting the blind use of technological devices, and neglecting the real goals of education.
"The trend of integrating technology into education will definitely increase," said the assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University, which is separate from the high school.
"But after one month when the novelty of iPads wears down, a good curriculum and teaching materials that can increase deep thinking and problem solving in students need to be in place."

Phivolcs allays tsunami fears from Japan quake - Yahoo! News
State seismologists allayed fears of a destructive tsunami reaching the Philippines after a powerful quake rocked Japan Friday morning.
But the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said it will continue to monitor the aftermath of Friday's quake.
"Right now, our data shows the quake was not capable of generating a destructive tsunami that can reach the Philippines," Phivolcs seismology department OIC Ishmael Narag said in an interview on dzBB radio.
Narag said the quake occurred at 8:05 a.m. Friday, Manila time.
Citing data from Phivolcs, he said the quake measured magnitude 6.7.
"Ang 6.7 quake na shallow, is capable of generating a destructive tsunami kung nakaka-cause ito ng underwater landslide. We don't know if it will cause, we had a big quake already," Narag said.
The United States Geological Survey measured it at magnitude 6.3.
The USGS said the quake was recorded at 8:05 a.m., with the epicenter off the east coast of Honshu in Japan.
It said the epicenter was 270 km east of Iwaki; 287 km east-southeast of Sendai; 308 km east of Fukushima; or 412 km east-northeast of Tokyo. — LBG, GMA News

Erik Spoelstra vows Heat will rebound from late slump - Yahoo! News
Erik Spoelstra vows Heat will rebound from late slump - Yahoo! News
MIAMI (Reuters) - Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra described Thursday's dramatic 95-93 defeat to the Dallas Mavericks in Game Two of the NBA Finals as one of the toughest losses he has had to endure.
The Heat squandered a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter as the Mavs roared back to snatch the win, leaving the best-of-seven series tied at 1-1 with the next three games in Dallas.
However, Spoelstra was in no doubt his team would rebound in Game Three.
"No question about it, that's about as tough a fourth quarter you can have. When it started to slide, it just kept on going," said Spoelstra.
"Really, I think offensively if we could have executed and moved the ball, we might have been able to stem the tide a little bit, even as poor as we were defensively down the stretch. It was highly uncharacteristic for us on both ends of the court.
"But we're a resilient group. By the time we get on that plane tomorrow, we'll get our minds and body and spirit ready for Game Three. This is a long series. So we're not happy about what happened, but we've got an opportunity in game three."
The Mavs went on a 17-2 run to tie the game, a spell during which Miami could not do anything right at either end of the court.
"You have to give them credit. They're a great shot-making team. Our offense ... was inefficient enough to spark them and give them some easy baskets. They got a couple in transition where we didn't even get anybody back for court balance maybe to force them into some kind of half court execution.
"So they probably scored eight to ten of those points on relief where our defense wasn't even set. And then we compounded that with a lack of execution. We will be much better in game three," added the Miami coach.
Spoelstra said he was confident that his team, who looked shell-shocked at the end of the game after Dirk Nowitzki's driving lay-up had sealed the Mavs' win, would have the character to recover in time for Sunday's game in Texas.
"We have found ways to respond under tough times, especially when we feel a great deal of pain, which are we are right now.
"We've been a very resilient group all season long. We've been tested. We've had our moments where we feel uncomfortable and feel like our backs are against the wall.
"That's when we've responded and been our best. We have a lot of guys who have some character and toughness to be able to respond to a game like this.
