...Abolishing the congress I agree. Let's abolish Congress ASAP. Congress has been the albatross of the Philippines for long, long years and it is time to abolish it.

I AGREE ON SYSTEM CHANGE…..IT IS A MUST…… I SUGGEST—-AN ECLECTIC APPROACH TO COME UP WITH A KIND OF GOVERNMENT SYSTEM THAT WILL BE BASED ON SOCIAL PARLIAMENTARY AND DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES, THAT IS DISTINCT FROM ALL OTHER FORMS OF WORLD GOVERNMENTS….. BASICALLY TAILORED TO FIT FOR A UNITED PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF ISLAND NATION. EVOLUTION OF THE PHILIPPINE LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM 1 The Philippine legislative system has undergone a series of evolutions that reflected the sociopolitical conditions of the times and the level of political maturity of society. It began with the unicameral Malolos Congress of the short-lived Philippine Republic of 1898-1899, followed by the Philippine Commission of 1901, a colonial legislative system composed of all-American appointees. This body then evolved into a bicameral, predominantly elective, Filipino-controlled legislature by virtue of the Jones Act of 1916, and lasted until November 1935 when the semi-independent Commonwealth Government was inaugurated. A unicameral National Assembly replaced the bicameral body after the 1935 Philippine Constitution was ratified. In 1941, the Constitution was amended, again restoring the bicameral legislature that...

...which constitute 30 percent more material, reinforce the fact that Anne was first and foremost a teenage girl, not a remote and flawless symbol. She fretted about, and tried to copie with, her own emerging sexuality. Like many young girls, she often found herself in disagreement with her mother. And like any teenager, she veered between the carefree nature of a child and the full-fledged sorrow of an adult. Anne emerges more human, more vulnerable, and more vital than ever. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. She was thirteen when the family went into the Secret Annex, and in these pages she grows to be a young woman and a wise observer of human nature as well. With unusual insight, she reveals the relations between eight people living under extraordinary conditions, facing hunger, the ever-present threat of discovery and death, complete estrangement from the outside world, and above all, the boredom, the petty misunderstandings, and the frustrations of living under such unbearable strain, in such confined quarters. A timely story rediscovered by each new generation, The Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer. For both young readers and adults it continues to bring to life this young woman, who for a time survived...

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. "But it is," returned she; "for Mrs....

Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!’ ‘How so? How can it affect them?’ ‘My dear Mr. Bennet,’ replied his wife, ‘how can you be so tiresome!

Citizen Kane’s dramatic camera angles, striking film noir–style lighting, nonlinear storytelling, montages, and long deep-focus shots were considered technically innovative for the era. Over time, Citizen Kane became revered as a masterpiece, and in 1997 the American Film Institute named it the Greatest American Movie of All Time. “Citizen Kane is more than a great movie; it is a gathering of all the lessons of the emerging era of sound,” film critic Roger Ebert wrote.1 CHAPTER 6 ○ MOVIES 185 (c) Bedford/St. Martin's bedfordstmartins.com 1-457-62096-0 / 978-1-457-62096-6 MOVIES A generation later, the space epic Star Wars (1977) changed the culture of the movie industry.

...cut-throat world of fast food was remarkable, but Mr. Chan did not want the company to rest on its laurels. At his meeting this afternoon with senior management, Mr. Chan planned to suggest that the company needed to move outside of Hong Kong and follow a much more aggressive plan than it had followed when it had moved slowly into China (with both Café de Coral outlets in neighboring Guangdong Province and recently New Asia Dabao in Shanghai) and also into North America (by buying into and then purchasing outright the Manchu Wok chain) over the last several years. He knew that the company needed a very clear globalization strategy in order to move to the next level of growth and to find sustainable growth opportunities away from Hong Kong. Mr. Chan had no clear plan at this point and he needed input from his managers and the Board. Mr. Chan reflected on how Café de Coral was a household name in Hong Kong and was the most popular QSR in its home market. The company dominated the market in Hong Kong and continuously improved its brand image through innovations in food preparation at its centralized food processing and distribution centers in Hong Kong and across the border in Guangdong. It also had perfected methods of offering large menus (up to 150 items) that changed four times over the course of every day with different items added and other items taken off the menu two to three times a week to provide variety as well as fresh and delicious food in a...
