...Case Study on Henry Sy Sr. and John Gokongwei Jr. Case by : Uy, Charles Joseph D. Summary/Abstract History Henry Sy Sr. Henry Sy, Sr. (Chinese: 施至成; pinyin: Shī ZhìChéng; born December 25, 1924) is a Chinese Filipino businessman and the founder and chairman of SM Prime Holdings, the largest retailer and shopping mall operator in the Philippines. He earned his Associate of Arts degree in Commercial Studies at Far Eastern University in 1950. Acknowledged as the country’s "Retail King," he has come a long way from the modest shoe store he set up in Quiapo in 1946, to become Asia's biggest shopping mall operator with over 30 malls throughout the Philippines. He is the Philippines' richest man, gaining 1.4 billion dollars in 2007, amid the global financial crisis. The huge gain was due to his holding company, SM Investments Corp., which has interests in Banco de Oro Universal Bank, inter alia. Forbes magazine's 2008 list of 40 wealthiest Filipinos, revealed the Sy family's net worth was 3.1 billion dollars. Earlier, he was the 2nd wealthiest individual in the Philippines, next to Lucio Tan and (as of 2008) 843rd in the world. Sy is considered a Tai-Pan or tycoon of Asia. The Sy group is the operator of Banco de Oro Universal Bank and owner of China Banking Corporation.

...a. Do you think it will be possible in the future to create a robot like Sonny? What are Sonny’s features that make him human-like? b. Is there any way to know whether a robot, who behaves just like a human, is REALLY experiencing feelings and moral emotions? c. Do you think a robot could be programmed to make moral decisions if it did not experience feelings or moral emotions? d. If a robot has an interest in self-preservation, should it be given the right to life (or, as we might say the right to ‘continued existence’)? e. What are Grau’s thoughts about whether or not it would be desirable to create a utilitarian robot? A. Sonny has his own sense of self. While the other robots are essentially a “unit” and act under Viki, Sonny is independent. This is more obviously shown by the fact Sonny had “killed” Dr.Lanning, something that broke one of the 3 laws Robots had to uphold. Sonny was able to reason, break the laws given to him, and essential be his own rational and sentient being. B. To a large extent no, there is not way to know. That is similar to trying to figure out where does an idea, or emotion come from for a human. While we can say certain parts of the brain are “used” depending on the situation the spark or origin of this behavior is really unknown. The best way to describe it I think is through a very famous Japanese Anime, the Ghost in the machine. If it is possible to somehow view this more abstract ghost then in theory, we should be able to observe...

...National variants[edit] The difficulty in defining the rules of Go has led to the creation of many subtly different rulesets. They vary in areas like scoring method, ko, suicide, handicap placement, and how neutral points are dealt with at the end. These differences are usually small enough to maintain the character and strategy of the game, and are typically not considered variants. Different rulesets are explained in Rules of Go. In some of the examples below, the effects of rule differences on actual play are minor, but the tactical consequences are substantial. Tibetan Go[edit] The starting position for Tibetan Go Tibetan Go is played on a 17×17 board, and starts with six stones (called Bo) from each color placed on the third line as shown. White makes the first move.[1] There is a unique ko rule: a stone may not be played at an intersection where the opponent has just removed a stone. This ko rule is so different from other major rulesets that it alone significantly changes the character of the game. For instance, snapbacks must be delayed by at least one move, allowing an opponent the chance to create life. Finally, a player who occupies or surrounds all four corner points (the 1-1 points) receives a bonus of 40 points, and if he controls the center point also, he receives a further bonus of 10 points.

...What is the motorcycle? It is a single-track, two-wheeled motor vehicle powered by an engine. In simple words – bicycle with engine. Their styles could depend on their usage whether is for long distance traveling, cruising, sports or racing. There are many manufacturers around the world who make motorcycles but let’s focus on most significant ones. We can focus on BMW (German), Norton and Triumph (both British) and Vespa (Italian) as well as the situation in the world championship. May be you have watch Star Wars? I guess you know Obi-Wan Kenobi who is the tutor of Anakin Skywalker. The actor who is playing him is Ewan McGregor.

The model BMW that they used becomes more popular. Some of the most famous motorcycles at the beginning of the era are Norton and Triumph. The very beginning of Triumph backs us in the late 19th century – 1885 when Siegfried Bettmann who emigrated from Germany to England, Coventry found the company. At that point, the firm was dealing with bicycles and later they started with motorcycles. They received more publicity especially in United States because of a 1950 Thunderbird 6T in the 1953 that was ride by Marlon Brando in The Wild One. But in 1951 the Triumph’s company was sold to BSA. BSA means Birmingham Small Arms Company...

...When Your Life’s in the Toilet A person is highly influenced by those around them. Everyone always seems to find a niche and stick with the people in that environment, whether it is a good one or not. Danny Boyle’s 1996 film Trainspotting is a story about a man who is trying to quit drugs, specifically heroin, but is stuck with the wrong crowd of people. His mind in constantly in an acid trip and the film shows us what he sees. The scene in the public bathroom in particular stands out and shows the struggles faced by Mark and his need to get clean through a great narrative style, great Mis-en-Scene, and finally sound; all of which carefully reflects what the character is feeling. The scene is set up directly after the opening of the film where the main character, Mark Renton gives a long dialogue and sets out to find one last hit, or drug use, before quitting heroin cold turkey. He is sorely disappointed when his dealer does not give him heroin, but instead sells him opiate suppositories. As he is walking back home, the opiate suppositories have a severe laxative effect and Mark has to run into a public toilet, known as “the worst toilet in Scotland,” to relieve himself. The words “the worst……in Scotland” are non-diegetic; they are not originally on the door. He goes to the bathroom and does his business but then realizes the drugs he put in his rectum had not dissolved and are now in the toilet. His severe need for drugs is shown when he does not hesitate to reach into...

...Pasan Ko Ang Daigdig depicts the life of a poor girl who undergoes several hardships throughout her life and suddenly receives an opportunity to become a professional singer and improve her family’s life. Viewers may come up with one of two insights from watching the movie. First, one may be led to thinking that despite severe suffering and despair, there will always be a happy ending. For this person, the movie seems to reinforce the rags-to-riches archetype. Forget all problems at present; everything will turn out well in the end. “Mapalad ang mga inaapi.” Lupe, portrayed by Sharon Cuneta, has to endure different problems happening all at the same time – “working” as a beggar, living with a mother who doesn’t seem to have any faith in her, being visited by her abusive uncle almost everyday, demanding that they give him money for gambling, even getting impregnated by a man she doesn’t know. Her luck begins to turn around, however, when her talent for singing is discovered at a local singing contest. Things begin to go well for her, despite a few problems with her uncle and the death of her mother, and she ends up engaged to a wealthy man who also happens to offer her a record deal. At the end of the movie, of course, she chooses the man she loves and the father of her child, and they live a fortunate life, thanks to her singing career. Personally, I think that this perspective can be quite problematic, especially when one actually incorporates it in his/her everyday life...

...Nandito ako ngayon sa tabi ng dagat. Nakatayo, habang pinapanood kong naglalakad papalayo ang kaisa-isang taong minahal ko. Isa….. dalawa…. tatlo. Wala na siya. Ang layo na niya sakin. Lumalabo na ang paningin ko at sunod sunod na ang pagpatak ng aking mga luha. Mga luhang nagpapahiwatag sa sakit na aking dinaramdam ngayon. At sa bawat pagpatak ng luha ko’y siya ring pagbalik ng ala-ala naming dalawa. Mga ala-ala kung bakit mahal ko siya. Tanggap ko na. Alam kong hindi kami para sa isa’t isa. Wala na siya. Tuluyan na niya akong iniwan dahil sa isang mababaw na rason. Teka lang, tanggap ko na nga ba? Hindi ko alam. Ang tanging alam ko lamang ngayon ay parang namamatay na ang katawan ko. Namamanhid na ang mga paa ko. Gabi na’t hinihintay ko pa rin siya……. Umaasang babalik siya at sasabihing “Huy, joke lang, tayo pa rin ha?” Ang tanga ko no? Eh umalis na nga yung tao eh! Ano ka ba.
