Holz (Daily Bread Author) says; Together we stand firm when life's headwinds gust our way together . Does this quote resonate well with you? We have witnessed nations like South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Denmark were quite successful in their efforts to contain the global virus. When people from nations are united, they can achieve positive results despite life’s headwinds such as covid-19  that took the lives of people by the thousands daily. But when people play the blame game, the repercussions are just too enormous. The system that was thought to be stable, strong, and envied in nations have failed. Even nations w

Container Houses

Years ago, i had planned to build a container house on a lot i purchased at Pines Ville  beside the Philippine Military Academy. I was discussing with a house planner on how to construct my container house. Though it never materialized, i ended up selling the lot. (",) Link: This Rusty Shipping Container Seems Abandoned.

Good Lesson

I learned a good lesson today. Ride the public transport instead of bringing your vehicle. The convenience of not having to commute cease to be. Paid or not paid parking is just a big head ache in this city. I wonder what the city government is doing to solve this problem. Or are they not doing anything at all?

The Adjunct Revolt: How Poor Professors Are Fighting Back - Elizabeth Segran - The Atlantic

Ever since i was involved with higher education, i realized how it feels to be on an "Adjunct Professor" status.Though i am one myself, i did not really mind as teaching remains to be a second passion at least for now. I can relate with some faculty members whom i have met that are young and on an adjunct status. Based on my observation a select few for personal reasons would prefer an adjunct status rather than being tenured with the university. However we still have the majority who are struggling to get tenured. The issue on student evaluation was also raised. The faculty whether being tenured or adjunct has the tendency to be over student friendly for fear of having poor student evaluation. I have noticed this too easily and coming from the corporate of 25 years,  i really never cared on how my own student evaluation comes out. My trademark according to a student of mine is being "professionally nice". I will not compromise quality education in exchange of be

My City of Pines

English: The replica of the Statue of Liberty in Camp John Hay in Baguio (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) After spending some time at home cleaning up whatever is left from my university papers,  and also spending some quality time with Jimboh  ( my 3 year old shih tzu was wondering why all of a sudden he has  24/7 tender loving care). I thought that perhaps today  Monday was a good day to take a walk along session road and pass by the supermarket for my grocery. Thinking that being the first day of the week and perhaps the afternoon rain will keep downtown more stress free. I was dead wrong and came to realize and accepted the fact  that the city downtown area  during daytime will always be full and congested. The city sidewalk is a challenge to begin with. I had to avoid bumping into the careless texter and even the senior citizens right in the middle of the sidewalk talking about there yesteryears. Even with Shoe Mart super mall, and by the way people over hear call it

The President

I am wondering whether both Presidents Obama and Aquino would share a pack of Marlboro in one corner while discussing their respective state of affairs.(",)  

Infrastructure as a Driver For Growth

Does the Aquino administration's pride regarding the country's GDP growth 7.2% for 2013 reflect the country's poor infrastructure? The Philippines may achieved the said positive growth rate however foreign direct investment of US$3.9 billion 2013 is no where close to US$13 billion and US$33 billion as FDI achieved by Vietnam and Thailand respectively. It is no wonder FDI investments in manufacturing due to poor infrastructure is low in the Philippines as compared to the high manufacturing activities going on with both the Asian neighbors. If and when the infrastructure is improved in the country, there is another issue of limiting foreign investors to 40% ownership. This is another issue that needs to addresses by the government.
