...protected or neutralized (C2, 22). Operational design limitations regarding force size, composition and transportation requirements, frustrated planners ability to plan adequate troop to task ratios. The strategic objectives, numerous potential WMD sites, long supply lines and porous borders were not clearly identified as a significant risk in the Cobra II plan. Therefore, additional forces were not readily available, if needed, and once the battle started, the operational environment and target objectives quickly exceeded the ground commander’s operational reach. Additionally, because the administration was not interested in a long term U.S. nation building operation, planners did not plan for adequate stabilization or peace keeping forces. OPLAN 1003-98 called for 380,000 troops to stabilize the 24,000,000 populace (c2, 53). The civilian policy guidance was that Iraqi institutions along with Iraqi military and police would be coordinated by a small, U.S. task force to rebuild Iraq after Phase III of the operation (c2,...

...Atienza, Karen Mae A. BEE 2 1. What can you say about the documentary? The documentary about Marcos regime and the former presidents after him brought a big difference between former President Marcos and the other former Presidents who took his position, and also brought a difference to the Philippines before and after Marcos lost his position as the Philippine President. First, when Marcos has his first term being the president, he began rebuilding the Philippines as he supposed to do. He established different hospitals such as, Philippine Children’s Hospital, Philippine Heart Center, Philippine Kidney Institute, and Lung Center of the Philippines. He also promoted Arts and Nationalism to Filipinos through the Coconut Palace, Manila Film Center, Folk Arts Theater, and Philippine International Convention Center. In addition, he also built hospitals, schools, roads, and bridges. And at that time, peso has a great value. The exchange rates also climb up to 2 pesos=1 dollar. We can say that under Marcos’ rule, the Philippines were not yet poor like what we have today. The reason why the Filipinos didn’t liked Marcos as their president is that they can’t decide for themselves since Marcos declared Martial Law in the Philippines on 1972. This documentary brought a big help for me to understand more about what happened during that time. As I asked my grandparents about their insight about Marcos’ rule, they said that if only Filipinos understand what...

...brief History Law enforcement is vital in the stability and progress of all nations. Thus, the conception of a unified national police was borne out of this premise. Giving rise to the unification of the Philippine Constabulary and the Integrated National Police whose functions is symmetrical to ensure the safety and security of the people. Republic Act 6975 was signed into law on December 13, 1990 by then President Corazon Aquino which called for the creation of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the reorganization of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in keeping with the mandate of our constitution for a police force that is national in scope and civilian in character. In response to the call for public safety and reforms within the organization, Honorables Teodulo Natividad, Blas Ople, Regalado Maambong and Rustico delos Reyes authored the provisions in the 1987 constitution calling for the creation of a police organization that is national scope and civilian character thus paving way to the establishment of the Philippine National Police (PNP). The principal authors of the Republic Act 6975 entitled “An Act Establishing the Philippine National Police under a reorganized Department of the Interior and Local Government and Other Purposes” were Senators Ernesto Maceda and Aquilino Pimentel Sr, Congressmen Jose Cojuangco Jr and Rodrigo Gutang. They moved for the PNP's creation to professionalize the police force and make it susceptible...

...Aquino III not only was “actively and directly” involved in the planning and preparation of the Mamasapano operation, but that the chief executive did not do anything to save the 44 members of the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force who were killed during the incident. The veteran senator made the pronouncement on Monday with little more than a week before the resumption of the Senate investigation into the incident, which Enrile pushed the Committee on Public order to reopen. “So that there will be no more questions whether we should reopen the probe or not, I would like to make manifestation that I have evidence that the President, Benigno Aquino III actively and directly involved himself in the planning and preparation of Oplan Exodus,” said Enrile as committee chairman Senator Grace Poe sought clarification on the Senate Rules Committee decision to reopen the probe. Enrile said that on the day of actual preparation, the president was monitoring the operations while going to Zamboanga City. “While the operation is going on the SAF units were being slaughtered, he did not do anything at all to save them. I’m going to prove this with evidence in the hearing, “said Enrile. When sought for comment, Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. Said Malacañiang will answer Enrile’s allegations in the proper forum”. “We will address these questions if and when these are raised or asked at the proper forum,” Coloma wrote in a text message. “As we have previously pointed...

...Aquino recalled the issues of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (PGMA) administration that were inherited to him before his term in 2010 such as 'Hello Garci'scandal, ZTE-NBN deal, MWSS bonus, Maguindanao massacre, and NFA anomalies. The president boasts his accomplishments in fighting corruption and poverty under his "Daang Matuwid" campaign and trumpeted economic gains. "The reforms we have sown along the Straight Path will bear an even more bountiful harvest in the future," Aquino said. "Corruption was the root of our people's suffering. Our battlecry: where there is no corruption, there will be no poverty," Aquino said. Aquino lauded Commissioner Kim Henares as she spared no tax evader. 380 cases have already been filed against those who attempted to evade taxes. In 2014, the commission's collection went up to P1.3 trillion, this 2015, the collection up to P1.5 trillion.Aquino said the Philippines is now called Asia’s Rising Tiger, Asia’s Rising Star, Asia’s Bright Spot as the country was unanimously deemed investment grade by the most prominent credit rating agencies.

...4 September 2015 - AIPP strongly condemns the continued brutal killings of Lumads in Mindanao of the Philippines at the hands of paramilitary groups and security forces. At least 13 Lumad human rights defenders and community members, including two children, have been killed in five incidents of extrajudicial killings and four massacres in the past eight months, with the recent killings of Emerito Samarca, Executive Director of a tribal school, and two other Lumad leaders in Surigao del Sur on 1 September. In the aftermath of the killings, more than 4000 Lumads evacuated to a neighboring village due to fear for their safety, and schools have been closed down. The targeted killings of Emerito Samarca, regarded as pioneer of alternative education system for disadvantaged indigenous youth, and the two tribal leaders, once again unleashes the spate of state-sponsored terror against its own people, especially the Lumads in Mindanao. Less than two weeks ago, military had allegedly massacred five farmers in Bukidnon – two of them were minors. This has brought the total number of extrajudicial killings to 68 under the incumbent Aquino regime. In almost all of the killings, the victims were falsely framed as members and supporters of New Peoples Army. Ground reports show that all the victims of recent spate of killings were innocent civilians – among them, some were leaders and advocates of the Lumads’ rights. The increasing figure of extrajudicial killings under the current Aquino...

...E-commerce Taxation: Towards its Legalization Have you ever wanted to buy something with just one click without having to pay much as the usual? With the easy access and affordable prices, online purchasing has become the most convenient way of shopping for most teenagers. The popularity of the Internet particularly Facebook, Instagram and other social networking sites attracted many retailers to invest their businesses online without having to pay taxes like any other retailers do. By this, e-commerce continues to grow with the advancement in technology as it overshadows the traditional way of running a business by the insignificant purpose of the physical interaction between the buyer and the seller. E-commerce in itself is classified into three types: business-to-consumer in which online stores sell products to final consumers; consumer-to-consumer just in the case of eBay and Amazon and; business-to-business which involves job recruiting, online advertising, credit, sales, and the like (U, 2002, p.6). With the emergence of e-commerce, brick and mortar stores are slowly starting to degrade, thus alarming the government on the collection of lesser tax since the law regarding electronic commerce taxation is still being debated. This income generating phenomenon has been an attractive target to the government to cope with its huge loss on tax collection. So why pay tax? Richard Carlson (2002) once said, “At tax time, it helps to remember that if your tax obligation has increased...
