...also allows married partners to easily prove their legal rights if challenged, for example in emergency situations. The capacity to quickly and easily prove one’s relationship status is particularly important for same-sex partners because prejudice against same-sex relationships can mean legal rights are denied. Another practical benefit of marriage is that it is a widely recognized legal relationship. The pro legalization of same-sex marriage wants to promote equal rights and to prevent discrimination against the gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender. They believe that exclusion of same-sex attracted people from marriage also sends out the message that discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation is acceptable. In the Philippines, LGBT are increasing in number and some of them conduct same-sex marriage in other countries in which this kind of marriage is already legal. With this, legalization...

...and the Government of the Philippines has been so complicated and so sensitive. Complicated because the tension between the two parties are so intense that bloody wars are happening in the affected areas in Mindanao and very sensitive in a way that any single move of the both parties against each other can worsen the situation. Before I proceed to my discussion, let us discuss first the history of the MILF, what do they want and why they are against the Philippine Government. Based on my researches, the MILF is a Moro and Lumad group (group of Muslim people living in Mindanao) formed in the 1960’s to achieve greater Bangsamoro autonomy in the southern part of the Philippines. Before it was called the MILF, it was first called as Moro National Liberation Front or MNLF. The aim of the Moro National Liberation Front is to have their independence from the Philippine Government. In short, they want to form their own republic and they want to have their own government. This group of Moros was founded by Nur Misuari, a Moro revolutionary, and a politician, in the year of 1969 and was considered as a rebel group of Muslim people. The members of the MNLF were considered as terrorists people here in the Philippines because they are attacking and assasinating many Filipino people just to make our government realize that they are not afraid of them and ofcourse, to make their goal happen which is to have independence. The real conflict started when the Philippine Government sent troops...

...The Spanish Influence on the Philippines One day at work as I was wiping down the counter tops, I overheard my manager Adrian and my co-worker Albany talking to each other in a different language. It sounded familiar, but I had no clue what they were saying to each other. Later on that day, not trying to be funny at all, I went up to my manager as he was sweeping and asked, “Hey can you teach me some words in Chinese?” He stop sweeping, threw a weird face on, looked at me and said “What?!” I remembered this book I read a while ago that talked about how the Japanese and Chinese people were at war with each other and how they hated being confused. I could see that Adrian was offended, so I immediately changed my question to “I mean some Japanese?” He leaned his face in and said “What the hell I’m Filipino!” I was so embarrassed at that moment that all I could say was “Ohhh ok”. I did not even want to look his way for the rest of the day. After a few days passed, Adrian brought that incident up again and we both laughed about it. I then developed enough courage to ask again, “Can you teach me a few words in Filipino?” Adrian chuckled and explained to me, “Our language is called Tagalong and yeah sure it’s going to be pretty easy for you to learn since you know Spanish already”. I turned and asked “How’s that?” He responded by saying “’Cuz you f*ckers colonized us” Ever since then, Adrian has been teaching me a lot about the Philippines and their history, which is...

...POVERTY IN PHILIPPINES AMONG THE COLLEGE STUDENT Hannah Joyrose R. Abgona AAIM-1styr-Section1 ENGL.2 I. Introduction a. Outline I. Title “POVERTY IN PHILIPPINES AMONG THE COLLEGE STUDENT II. a.cause of poverty in the Philippines Poverty in the Philippines: Causes, Constraints, and Opportunities comprehensively analyzes the causes of poverty and recommends ways to accelerate poverty reduction and achieve more inclusive growth. The report provides an overview of current government responses, strategies, and achievements in the fight against poverty and identifies and prioritizes future needs and interventions. The analysis is based on current literature and the latest available data, including the 2006 Family Income and Expenditure Survey. Other cause The incomplete land reform aiming at overthrowing the traditionally unequal agrarian society coupled with lack of support for farmers has been a long-lasting flaw in the governments’ development policies that can still massively reduce poverty in the Philippines. Thus, the role of the state remains central to redistribute more equally the wealth created in the country, in order to avoid leaving the poor behind. Supporting the extremely poor must be seen as a long-term investment and counterbalanced with future gains. However, mistrust in the government combined with corruption and/or incompetence makes the overall task much harder, even though it has led to the rise of militant movements that speak in favor of farmers to build...

...INTRODUCTION Among all the fast food chains here in the Philippines, the Jollibee Food Corporation is considered to be the most popular choice among all the Filipinos. The Jollibee Food Corporation has been serving us with their delectable collection of fast food, but what do we really know about the Jollibee Food Corporation? Where did Jollibee Food Corporation come from? When did Jollibee Food Corporation start? Who founded the Jollibee Food Corporation? Well here's a little history behind the most popular fast food chain in the Philippines. The Jollibee Food Corporation was founded by Tony Tan Caktiong and his family. And did you know that the Jollibee Food Corporation wasn't selling fast food back in the days, instead they sell ice creams, and it was named as Jolibe. But after sometime, they decided on getting the services of a management consultant in the person of Manuel C. Lumba. Lumba suggested that to shift their business of ice cream parlor to hamburgers after his studies showed that a much larger market was waiting to get tapped.And sure enough, their hamburgers became a hit for a lot of Filipinos. After this success, Lumba next reformed the name Jolibe to Jolly Bee and made the two words form a single name Jollibee.

Philippines Green Movement – Are You Going or Not? by Nicole I still remember when my friend asked me to join a marathon for a cause. Back then, I was really a busy bee and just the thought of running for several miles makes me exhausted already so I turned her invitation down. However, just when the marathon was over, I wondered how I managed to let that great opportunity pass. Then I realized that being a citizenof my country, I should have the initiative to join such movements especially if it caters to preservation of the environment. There are a lot of...

...nor the actors as well as the place where they present it. It’s not all about theatre, it’s more than that. As I have read Nicanor G. Tiongson’s “What is Philippine Drama” and have watched his documentary “Dulaan”, we could see that drama is more than what we know. Drama may come in various packages. It may be simple or extravagant, unpopular or popular, big or small in production but they all have the common denominator which is Mimesis or the imitation that it presents that happens in real life. In our simple imitation of our friend who is weird and to If there’s European Drama, American Drama, Spanish Drama, and other dramas that existed in other countries, of course there is Philippine Drama. But what makes Philippine Drama different from the other dramas that existed? It differs with the involvement of what we call “Philippine-ness”. This “Philippine-ness” involves three things: our culture and heritage, the essence it gives to our people and the solution it may present in our people at a certain time of need. It involves our people, our culture and tradition, as well as Philippines itself; all in all our identity. Philippine Drama existed way before the Spanish colonization. I really appreciate this period of drama: The Indigenous Period. Compared to other periods of drama, Indigenous period reflect the true “Philippine-ness” of a drama. It is original, more Filipino, more real, and when it comes to imitativeness or mimesis it is more grandeur. One part in Tiongson’s video...

...Philippine History Submitted by: Bernante, Marie T. Cortez, Maria Cristinalyn L. Gacosta, Jhon Paul Oriel, Hanna Amor Pelinio Honey Grace R. Vargas, Jocevic Viernes, Maricor Assassination of Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. The assassination of Benigno Aquino, Jr., former Philippine Senator, took place on Sunday, August 21, 1983 at Manila International Airport. Aquino, also a longtime political opponent of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, had just landed in his home country after a 3-year self exile in the United States when he was shot in the head while being escorted from an aircraft to a vehicle that was waiting to transport him to prison. Also killed was Rolando Galman, who was later implicated in Aquino's murder. Reaction Assassination of Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. The assassination of Ninoy Aquino Jr. is for me a mystey because there is no one who spoke out that they are the one who killed Ninoy. But I think it is the Marcos family responsible for the assassination because they are the one who had a conflict with late senator Ninoy Aquino. –Pelinio I think assassination of Ninoy Aquino was injustice of human rights because he was shot in the head while being escorted from aircraft. Also Ninoy wanted a justice for being not democratic threatened against Marcos’ authoritarian rule. I’m proud of having a good senator on that time because he only thinks about the Filipino’s sake and he really fight for the right of human rights...

...Camille Denise D. Nucum TFN 1NU03 Sir Dela Cruz “ The Role of Volunteer Nurses in the present Philippine health care situation” First question is why do nurses volunteer? a volunteer is someone who works for a community or for the benefit of the environment, primarily because they choose to do so.” Im likely see that this definition closely matches why I chose nursing in the first place. There are some reasons why nurses do this voluntarily and without their profits involve only just for the sake of having experience serve as imparting knowledges to other people. These are the main reasons:Using your skills to help others. Nurses often have specialized skills and knowledge that can benefit a wide array of people. To keep the resume going. If you lose your job or are just starting out as a nurse, what better way to improve your resume than serving others? If you are a new nurse, a volunteer opportunity offers the "experience" that hiring personnel are looking for. A sense of self. I can think of no better feeling of satisfaction than helping others each day. To make a positive impact on the community as a whole, To demonstrate to your children the importance of giving to others. Further, theres` a lot of opportunities available for nurses alike, Peace Corps/Missionary Work, Mentorship to a nursing student, School Nurse, Hospice, Nursing Home, and Volunteer to teach classes with community help organizations (Alcoholic Anonymous, abuse victim...

...of Filipino and Filipino Americans not knowing a Filipino dialect increased. There can be many rationalizations as to why, year-by-year, the population amongst young Filipino and Filipina Americans retain from learning a part of their heritage. For example, in the book Homebound, by Yen Le Espiritu, there is a reference as to why some immigrant parents refrain from teaching their children how to speak a Filipino dialect. Similar opinions also occur in the section “Filipino American Identity: Transcending the Crisis,” by Linda A. Revilla, and how Filipino soldiers stationed in Hawaii were called a “disgracia,” or a disgrace, because they did not know a Filipino language. Both books correlate to what my brother went through when he was living in the Philippines for two years. In his early days of living in the Philippines, he was ridiculed for being a foreigner with a New Jersey accent. Ironically, after finally learning how to speak and understand Tagalog fluently, he had to move back to America and he quotes, “It’s like starting over again.” As one can see, language plays an essential role for people to adapt in certain societies. Learning how to speak...

...is a subject matter expert, knows the subject well, and can expand beyond basic concepts readily found in books. He communicates well and is very dedicated in what he is doing. Nothing new about Security Sector Reform (SSR) as we all know that SSR is a concept that was first developed in the 1990s in Eastern Europe. Since it has no fixed definition and no single model of a security sector exists, SSR generally refers to a process to reform or rebuild a state's security sector. In my opinion, the best definition for SSR is from the United Nations’ point of view. UN considers that security sectors usually include structures, institutions and personnel responsible for the management, provision and oversight of security. These would include defense, law enforcement, corrections, intelligence services and institutions responsible for border management, customs and civil emergencies. In some cases, elements of the judicial sector responsible for cases of alleged criminal conduct and misuse of force are included. The security sector should also include management and oversight bodies and, in some instances, may involve informal or traditional security providers. From my point of view, for the past 20 years and the many years to come, the Philippines has evolved slowly but steadily in SSR. Even though, there are so many constraints (due to economics and security uncertainties) that might jeopardize the long term planning in SSR in the Philippines, the most important factor...
