MANILA, Philippines – San Jose National High School (SJNHS) in Tacloban City resumed classes two weeks after the fatal shooting that claimed the lives of three students and wounded 20 others on June 22, but many members of the community continue to feel trauma.
SJNHS reopened last Monday, July 6. Walls were repainted while performers entertained students in a bid to help children recover from the tragedy.
So far, students from Grades 7 and 8 have had in-person classes while Grades 9 and 10 implemented blended learning amid ongoing repairs to their classrooms, Education Undersecretary Malcolm Garma said in a Senate basic education committee hearing on Thursday, July 9.
Garma said classrooms for Grades 9 and 10 were damaged after the shooting, which was carried out by two minors, aged 14 and 15.
According to the information he presented, there were 235 out of 336 Grade 7 students and 237 out of 369 Grade 8 students who have attended in-person classes.
Those not attending the face-to-face classes will be given learning modules and opportunities for online activities.
In a Philippine News Agency report, the Department of Education (DepEd) Tacloban City Schools Division said lower attendance is expected as some students continue to recover from the trauma, while others opt for a school transfer.
“The resumption of classes would somehow establish normalcy in the school and provide that level of confidence also to our parents and to the community that the school is safe,” Garma told senators in a mix of English and Filipino.
“And at the same time, it is really to remove the trauma, the psychosocial and emotional trauma that our teachers, our learners have experienced because of this incident,” he added.
Garma said authorities improved the school’s security by providing more metal detectors and installing a walkthrough detector. There is also ongoing construction of a higher perimeter fence.
The two minors tagged in the incident are under the custody of the Regional Rehabilitation Center for the Youth in Tanauan, Leyte.
‘High-risk’ learners
Days after the June 22 shooting, the DepEd provided initial psychological first aid to learners, teachers, and parents in a span of three days.
Garma said that out of 603 students who already received psychological first aid, 38 were assessed to be “high-risk” for a mental health crisis.
Julienne Rose Peñaranda-Saballa, a registered guidance counselor of the DepEd Tacloban City Schools Division, said they continue to follow up and monitor both high-risk students and teachers. Saballa led the development of the initial psychological first aid response.
She said high-risk individuals are those who directly experienced the shooting or were deeply traumatized by it. They were attended to by psychiatrists during the initial psychosocial intervention.
“It is important to monitor and help these high-risk individuals to aid in their healing and recovery, so they can go back to their academics, and continue to hope for a brighter future where there is safety and security,” Saballa told Rappler.
She said high-risk individuals must continue with their psychiatric consultations and attend psychosocial activities that would help them heal and move forward.
“If not, it may affect them long-term, academically, personally, socially with the interactions with other people and the society, and in their perception of the world,” Saballa added.
Critical implementation of the law
During the Senate hearing, Garma said students who were recently discharged from the hospital and those who were not yet ready to undergo mental health services during the initial intervention are now undergoing psychological first aid.
The responsibility for providing the psychological first aid and other long-term interventions is with the DepEd Tacloban City Schools Division, especially since SJNHS does not have a licensed guidance counselor.
Saballa, who is from Leyte National High School and among the only three DepEd registered guidance counselors in the city, was tapped anew to provide psychological first aid services.
She said it is essential to ensure that Republic Act No. 12080, or the Basic Education Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act, would be implemented through reclassification of existing DepEd registered guidance counselors and hiring of school counselor associates.
The DepEd has yet to hire school counselor associates nearly two years after the law was signed in December 2024. – Rappler.com

Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders
BitcoinWorld Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders The dynamic world of decentralized finance (DeFi) is constantly evolving, bringing forth new opportunities and innovations. A significant development is currently unfolding at Curve Finance, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX). Its founder, Michael Egorov, has put forth an exciting proposal designed to offer a more direct path for token holders to earn revenue. This initiative, centered around a new Curve Finance revenue sharing model, aims to bolster the value for those actively participating in the protocol’s governance. What is the “Yield Basis” Proposal and How Does it Work? At the core of this forward-thinking initiative is a new protocol dubbed Yield Basis. Michael Egorov introduced this concept on the CurveDAO governance forum, outlining a mechanism to distribute sustainable profits directly to CRV holders. Specifically, it targets those who stake their CRV tokens to gain veCRV, which are essential for governance participation within the Curve ecosystem. Let’s break down the initial steps of this innovative proposal: crvUSD Issuance: Before the Yield Basis protocol goes live, $60 million in crvUSD will be issued. Strategic Fund Allocation: The funds generated from the sale of these crvUSD tokens will be strategically deployed into three distinct Bitcoin-based liquidity pools: WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC. Pool Capping: To ensure balanced risk and diversified exposure, each of these pools will be capped at $10 million. This carefully designed structure aims to establish a robust and consistent income stream, forming the bedrock of a sustainable Curve Finance revenue sharing mechanism. Why is This Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Significant for CRV Holders? This proposal marks a pivotal moment for CRV holders, particularly those dedicated to the long-term health and governance of Curve Finance. Historically, generating revenue for token holders in the DeFi space can often be complex. The Yield Basis proposal simplifies this by offering a more direct and transparent pathway to earnings. By staking CRV for veCRV, holders are not merely engaging in governance; they are now directly positioned to benefit from the protocol’s overall success. The significance of this development is multifaceted: Direct Profit Distribution: veCRV holders are set to receive a substantial share of the profits generated by the Yield Basis protocol. Incentivized Governance: This direct financial incentive encourages more users to stake their CRV, which in turn strengthens the protocol’s decentralized governance structure. Enhanced Value Proposition: The promise of sustainable revenue sharing could significantly boost the inherent value of holding and staking CRV tokens. Ultimately, this move underscores Curve Finance’s dedication to rewarding its committed community and ensuring the long-term vitality of its ecosystem through effective Curve Finance revenue sharing. Understanding the Mechanics: Profit Distribution and Ecosystem Support The distribution model for Yield Basis has been thoughtfully crafted to strike a balance between rewarding veCRV holders and supporting the wider Curve ecosystem. Under the terms of the proposal, a substantial portion of the value generated by Yield Basis will flow back to those who contribute to the protocol’s governance. Returns for veCRV Holders: A significant share, specifically between 35% and 65% of the value generated by Yield Basis, will be distributed to veCRV holders. This flexible range allows for dynamic adjustments based on market conditions and the protocol’s performance. Ecosystem Reserve: Crucially, 25% of the Yield Basis tokens will be reserved exclusively for the Curve ecosystem. This allocation can be utilized for various strategic purposes, such as funding ongoing development, issuing grants, or further incentivizing liquidity providers. This ensures the continuous growth and innovation of the platform. The proposal is currently undergoing a democratic vote on the CurveDAO governance forum, giving the community a direct voice in shaping the future of Curve Finance revenue sharing. The voting period is scheduled to conclude on September 24th. What’s Next for Curve Finance and CRV Holders? The proposed Yield Basis protocol represents a pioneering approach to sustainable revenue generation and community incentivization within the DeFi landscape. If approved by the community, this Curve Finance revenue sharing model has the potential to establish a new benchmark for how decentralized exchanges reward their most dedicated participants. It aims to foster a more robust and engaged community by directly linking governance participation with tangible financial benefits. This strategic move by Michael Egorov and the Curve Finance team highlights a strong commitment to innovation and strengthening the decentralized nature of the protocol. For CRV holders, a thorough understanding of this proposal is crucial for making informed decisions regarding their staking strategies and overall engagement with one of DeFi’s foundational platforms. FAQs about Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Q1: What is the main goal of the Yield Basis proposal? A1: The primary goal is to establish a more direct and sustainable way for CRV token holders who stake their tokens (receiving veCRV) to earn revenue from the Curve Finance protocol. Q2: How will funds be generated for the Yield Basis protocol? A2: Initially, $60 million in crvUSD will be issued and sold. The funds from this sale will then be allocated to three Bitcoin-based pools (WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC), with each pool capped at $10 million, to generate profits. Q3: Who benefits from the Yield Basis revenue sharing? A3: The proposal states that between 35% and 65% of the value generated by Yield Basis will be returned to veCRV holders, who are CRV stakers participating in governance. Q4: What is the purpose of the 25% reserve for the Curve ecosystem? A4: This 25% reserve of Yield Basis tokens is intended to support the broader Curve ecosystem, potentially funding development, grants, or other initiatives that contribute to the platform’s growth and sustainability. Q5: When is the vote on the Yield Basis proposal? A5: A vote on the proposal is currently underway on the CurveDAO governance forum and is scheduled to run until September 24th.
