Paalala

Sa lahat ng mga magsisipagtapos na DS majors sa susunod na semestre,
tiyaking nakuha na ninyo (at may grado) ang mga sumusunod na asignatura:
-NSTP (2 asignatura)
-MST (5 asignatura)
-SSP (5 asignatura)
-AH (5 asignatura)
-PE (4 asignatura)
-core subjects
-electives (3 asignatura)
-cognates (3 asignatura)
May mga RGEP subjects na magkaiba ang code pero itinuturing na iisa
dahil halos magkapareho ang nilalaman (halimbawa, History II at History III).
Magsadya sa OCS para sa kopya ng patakaran ukol sa RGEP.
Tiyakin din na hindi labis ang cognates pero kulang naman sa electives,
maging ang kabaligtaran nito.
Minsan inaakala ng mag-aaral na maaring cognate ang RGEP.
Marami nang nabiktima ng maling akala at maling payo ng guro.
Subaybayan mabuti ang mga asignaturang nakuha na at hindi pa nakukuha.

  • "Business unionism pertains to unions that exist primarily for economic improvement of workers, rather than to engage in a class struggle to alter the form of government or to pursue socialism." - Samuelson and Nordhaus
  • "Human resources pertain to the quantity and quality of nation's labor force." - Todaro

Sometime in 2000, few months before Erap's ouster,

GMA now appropriately stands for "Gahamang Maupo Again."

Uselessness of SONAs?

"The value of the SONA as a document of hope and for a better future has eroded deeply to rouse the public from a sense of despair. This means that Ms Arroyo would be addressing a constituency made up largely of nonbelievers." - Amando Doronila, PDI columnist

krisis + kritikal na kamalayan + aksyon

Tama si Carlos Humberto.
Hindi nangangahulugang kapag gutom ang mamamayan ay mag-aaklas sila.
Kung wala silang kritikal na kamalayang pulitikal, hindi pa rin ito
magbubunga ng malawakan, makabuluhan at pangmatagalang pagbabago.
Mahalaga ang gampanin ng mga intelektwal sa
pagpapataas ng antas ng kamulatan ng mamamayan.

Quezon's granted wish

"The words of two Filipino leaders come back to haunt. One is Ferdinand Marcos saying when he first became president: “This country can be great again.” And two is Manuel Quezon saying when he fought for independence: “I’d rather see the country run like hell by Filipinos than like heaven by the Americans.” Marcos was wrong: This country became miserable again, no small thanks to him and his clone, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. And Quezon, well, he got his wish."

Judicialization of Politics

Dr. C. Neal Tate of Vanderbilt University defines the
judicialization of politics as "the process by which the Constitutition
assigns the judiciary new and expanded powers and responsibilities,
give it great potential to judicialize policy processes that would
otherwise be the responsibility of the majoritarian institutions."

UP Prof. Randy David, in his e-mail, regard it as a reversal of modernity's gains,
even if it may often be a response to the failure of politics.
