...Reaction paper (El Presidente 2012) “El Presidente” movie brought into life the story of the first president of the Republic of the Philippines, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. It is not a film for all Filipinos but only for those who have high regard to Philippine Independence. If you are Andres Bonifacio fanatic, this is not for you. Members of the Bonifacio clan might be of total outrage right now for the film has put Bonifacio in somewhat a ‘bad light. Directed by Mark Meily, “El Presidente” offers a beautiful journey back to history with great action scenes and cinematography. The lines, in Filipino, Spanish, and English are well-thought. Casting big names in Philippine showbiz like Cesar Montano, Christopher De Leon, Allan Paule, Sid Lucero, and Joko Diaz, among others was a good move as they portrayed their roles excellently. Montano‘s portrayal as Bonifacio is believable and is deserving of his Metro Manila Film Festival Best Supporting Actor award though those who have watched him portrayed Jose Rizal might have a hard time picturing him as Bonifacio. Having comedian Bayani Agbayani in the cast is okay, just that his mustache looks funny. The same goes with the other cast who wear funny looking mustaches. The lead actor, George ‘E.R Ejercito’ Estregan, Jr., portrayed Aguinaldo’s character very well though it is hard to believe that it was really him portraying the lead for the film he produced. There’s nothing wrong with that if it’s just for the sake of arts or even if it...

The slow response of FEMA after hurricane Katrina, brought the poor condition of our government’s ability to handle disaster into the public’s eye. Monday, August 29, 2005 at 7:00 a.m. hurricane Katrina makes landfall as a category four storm. The day before the Louisiana National Guard requested 700 buses for the evacuation, FEMA only sent 100. Approximately 30,000 people gather at the Silver dome, with only thirty-six hours worth of food and water. The U.S.S. Bataan sits offshore awaiting relief orders. It has helicopters, doctors, food, water, 600 hospital beds, and the capability to make up to 100,000 gallons of water a day. The government failed to utilize its assets in this time of great need. The Wolf Creek Dam is located in south central Kentucky on the Cumberland River. Design and construction started in 1938 and was completed in 1952. Lake Cumberland was created by the dam, it is the largest reservoir east of the Mississippi River, and the ninth largest in the United States. In 1968, muddy flows in the tailrace and two sinkholes found in the embankment, indicated a severe seepage problem. From 1968 to 1970, a grouting project was started, this saved the dam, but was...

...Chapter 10 SOCIO-CULTURAL EVALUATION 1. Importance of Socio-Cultural Evaluation The socio-cultural resources of Central Luzon are potential resource-assets for tourism development. These resource-assets has great tourism application that can generate community-based livelihood and employment opportunities. The sociocultural resources include the traditional communities, archaeological and historical sites, festivals, indigenous arts and crafts, cuisine, myths and legends, as well as folklores and oral history. These resource-assets represent the country's heritage that is reflective of the region's identity. Promotions of socio-cultural resources for tourism purposes will require an extensive and meticulous evaluation because of the possible "over-exposures" that these cultural assets will have to withstand. Socio-cultural evaluation identifies the tourism potentials of these resource-assets with relevance to the environmental and cultural settings of the host communities. It also identifies the existing and perceived impacts of tourism to these socio-cultural assets and to devise appropriate mitigative measures and management plans to protect and better enhance cultural heritage for tourism development. The need to promote the cultural heritage of the Central Luzon region in the tourism industry should be balanced with the need to preserve and conserve the sociocultural integrity of these resources. The implications of tourism...

...Philippine independence, a decision was made to establish a U. S. Naval Base at Subic Bay. Substantial construction efforts were begun and accelerated during the Korean Conflict, resulting in the establishment of the U. S. Naval Base, Subic Bay, in 1954. Much of the area now occupied by the Freeport was previously occupied by the City of Olongapo. At that time, the Commander of the Naval Base was also in control of the City of Olongapo. During the Vietnam Conflict, construction of the facilities was again accelerated, and with the expansion of the Seventh Fleet, Subic Bay became the busiest port in the Western Pacific. In February 1979, the Military Bases Agreement transferred control of the U. S. Naval Base, Subic Bay to the Philippine government. The Agreement expired in September 1991. The facilities have since been turned over to the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority as part of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone...

...JAPANESE MANAGEMENT Key practices commonly associated with Japanese management techniques include: * in-house training of managers * consensual and decentralized decision-making * extensive use of quality control methods * carefully codified work standards * emphasis on creating harmonious relations among workers * lifetime employment and seniority-based compensation Japanese management philosophy and techniques Nihonteki Keiei, or Japanese-style management, has become a popular phrase in the west. It refers to what people see as substantially different between Japanese management techniques and those widely practiced in the other countries. The differences often cited are: lifetime employment, job rotation, based seniority wage and promotion system, Ringi and consensus decision-making, just in time, quality circles, kaizen, and the suggestion system. Most of these techniques have become well known across the world. However, a successful implementation by western firms requires a critical understanding of their basic principles and operations, while some of the elements need to be critically assessed in the light of the structural problems of the Japanese economy since 1989. Lifetime employment (shushinkoyo) the main objective of offering lifetime employment or a job for life is to provide workers with a sense of security and identity. Once recruited, lifetime employees become members of the corporate family, which will have to take care of them for...

...| Old Soldiers Never Die | A Historiographical Essay on Douglas MacArthur | | Author Name | MM/DD/YYYY | Course Number | General Douglas MacArthur, one of America’s greatest military commanders, was in a category that few men have ever been. Douglas MacArthur was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1880. Being raised in a military family had a profound effect on MacArthur as a boy and into adulthood. His father, Arthur MacArthur, was a recipient of the Medal of Honor; an award that would later also be bestowed upon Douglas. His grandfather had served on the United States Supreme Court. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated at the top of his class in 1903. This began his long and illustrious career with the United States Army. After rising through the ranks so quickly that he was promoted to Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1930, he later decided to retire in 1937. History, however, was not finished writing the story of Douglas MacArthur. He was later called back to active duty in 1941 and was sent to defend the Philippines against the Japanese forces. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his efforts in that campaign. It was also during this time that he was promoted to the rank of five-star general; a rank that has only been achieved by five other men in the army, with the exceptions of George Washington and John J. Pershing. MacArthur was then placed in command of the U.S. occupation in Japan...

...Alternative Medicine in the Philippines And Its Continued Popularity: A Study Bataan Peninsula State University Alternative Medicine in the Philippines And Its Continued Popularity The Philippines is one of the islands that were conquered by different countries back in the day. That is why a lot of foreign influences were brought up by those colonizations. One of them is alternative medicine. Alternative medicine is a variety of therapeutic or preventive health-care practices that are not typically taught or practiced in traditional medicinal communities and offer treatments that differ from standard medical practice. Homeopathy, herbal medicine, and acupuncture are types of alternative medicine. In particular, China was one of the countries that inhabited the Philippines. China and its traditional healing arts make up the integral part of Chinese culture. According to “The Practice of Shiatsu” (Anderson, 2008), acupuncture gradually took over in China as the primary form of medicine and traveled across Asia including the Philippines. As evidenced by the years of trade by the Philippines with China, the Philippines then inherit the traditional ways of healing through acupuncture that China practiced and it is still being practiced today. Alternative medicine was already popular back in history but it is taking popularity again nowadays. In order to understand what we know today, people go back to their roots and to the beginning of civilization. What we know...

...Fernando Amorsolo was born May 30, 1892, in the Paco district of Manila. At 13 he was apprenticed to the noted Philippine artist Fabian de la Rosa, his mother's first cousin. In 1909 Amorsolo enrolled at the Liceo de Manila and then attended the fine-arts school at the University of the Philippines, graduating in 1914. After working three years as a commercial artist and part-time instructor at the university, he studied at the Escuela de San Fernando in Madrid. For seven months he sketched at the museums and on the streets of Madrid, experimenting with the use of light and color. That winter he went to New York and discovered the works of the postwar impressionists and cubists, who became the major influence on his works. On his return to Manila, he set up his own studio. During this period, Amorsolo developed the use of light--actually, backlight--which is his greatest contribution to Philippine painting. Characteristically, an Amorsolo painting contains a glow against which the figures are outlined, and at one point of the canvas there is generally a burst of light that highlights the smallest detail. During the 1920s and 1930s Amorsolo's output of paintings was prodigious. In 1939 his oil Afternoon Meal of the Workers won first prize at the New York World's Fair. During World War II Amorsolo continued to paint. The Philippine collector Don Alfonso Ongpin commissioned him to execute a portrait in absentia of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, which he did at great personal risk. He...
