...Cervantes, Jayson A. Mxt-221 Crisis in the Public Education in the Philippines A Critique Paper On Politics and Governance with Philippine Contitution The Crisis of Public Education in the Philippines INTRODUCTION Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that “the State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all”. Truly, the state must provide an accessible and quality education to all the citizens of this country regardless of their social status and also the education the state must provide is free at all levels. This means that the government must provide all the facilities, equipment, and teacher force to educate its citizens. However, nowadays, Philippine educational system earns its prestige having produced a low quality graduates due to some factors. Thus, the current administration decided to upgrade Philippine educational system to a k+12 basic education curriculum thinking that it is the years we have studied that we learn a lot not knowing the fact that public institutions’ facilities are in scarcity. No.5, section 5 of the article XIV of the 1987 Constitution also states that “The State shall assign the highest budgetary priority to education and ensure that teaching will attract and retain its rightful share of the best available talents through adequate remuneration and other means of job satisfaction and...

...of a set of cases and are, as Robert Cox posits, critical of the circumstances from which certain politico-economic configurations emerge[1]. A contemporary theory that has surfaced in the last few decades is the developmental state theory which sought to explain the precipitous economic progress of East Asian states after the Second World War. Although the initial outcome of adopting developmental strategies among East Asian states have shown the theory’s potency as a basis for economic development policies, subsequent events especially the results of Southeast Asian attempts to pattern itself after developmental strategies have put into question the developmental state’s efficacy as a long-term arrangement. Specifically, the Philippines’ status as an “anti-developmental” state[2] serves as a channel for criticism of the developmental state theory through other IPE theories not only in terms of strategies and policies, but also in the deeper level of societal conflict and political structures. The origins of the Developmental State and its basic premises The literature on developmental state theory attributes its conception to Chalmers Johnson who argued in his book MITI and the Japanese Miracle, that “Japan’s road to capitalism differed from that of the West, with the central role played by...

...2. VERSUS COMPARE a. In Realistic metaphysics, the thinker (subject) and the thing–thought–of (object) are taken to exist simulataneously and indepen dently. Both the thinker, the subject, i.e., the ‘I’, and the object, the things of the world, are taken to exist independen tly and on their own strength. The existence of the objects do not depend on the subject. Idealistic metaphysics starts with the examining the question of existence by first taking up and proving the existence of the ‘I’, the subject. This is seen in the famous Cartesian dictum: I think, therefore I am. The existence of every other thing is then taken up from the viewpoint of this ‘I’, their existence is secondary to the ‘I’ and their reality or not depends on the ‘I’. b. epistemological realism is the idea that observable characteristics exist in the observed object, independent of the observer. Likewise epistemological idealism is the idea that the characteristics exist in the mind of the observer independent of the object. example of "If a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound?" Someone who is a strict epistemological idealist will say, no, because no one is there to observe the tree falling to interpret what happened as making a sound and thus it cannot create a "sound". But someone who is a strict epistemological realist will say, yes, because sound is just pressure waves in the air and there does not have to be an observer in order to make a "sound". C 3.

Durban1, Ruby Durban Catalan2 1 Far Eastern University, Manila, 2University of San Agustin Iloilo City, PHILIPPINES joelmdurban@yahoo.com, rmdc60@yahoo.com.ph ABSTRACT The essay is an attempt to analyze, evaluate and criticize issues affecting the educational system through the years with the end view of recommending possible improvements. The metamorphosis of Philippine education through the years was a gradual process brought about by generations of colonialism and imperialism. From the Spaniards to the Americans, to the Japanese even during the Liberation period up to the EDSA revolution, changes in education did not match the high hopes of the Filipino people. Presently, the Philippine educational system needs to address issues not only of accessibility and quality in providing education for all. Other issues needs to addressed involved the role of education in the national development, the unresponsive curriculum, improper monitoring of programs implemented, globalization of education and even politics in education. For the Philippine education to succeed its ills and problems must be addressed. There is a need for values reorientation of the Filipinos as a key to national development. Teachers’ transformation, in terms of their values orientation is necessary. Part of the teachers’...

...Exploring open kitchens’ impact on restaurateurs’ cleanliness perceptions SUMMARY Food safety is an important health issue. Consuming contaminated food or beverages can result in illness or death. Approximately 5,000 deaths occur from food-borne illnesses every year. There are many preventative measures that can be taken at home and in restaurants to avoid potentially hazardous foods. It is a discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. This includes a number of routines that should be followed to avoid potentially severe health hazards. The tracks within this line of thought are safety between industry and the market and then between the market and the consumer. In considering industry to market practices, food safety considerations include the origins of food including the practices relating to food labelling, food hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues, as well as guidelines for the management of governmental import and export inspection and certification systems for foods. In considering market to consumer practices, the usual thought is that food ought to be safe in the market and the concern is safe delivery and preparation of the food for the consumer. This study seeks to add knowledge in this area, studying restaurant operators’ perceptions of open and closed kitchens. Using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews, 20 restaurant managers and...

...the other hand, this sector also attributed significant portions of the total poor in the country for decades. Thus, in June 1988, the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) was signed into law, paving the way for extensive land distribution and reforms which communist insurgencies urged during the Marcos regime. Consequently, the initial stages of the implementation process of CARP was met with apparent complications, expectedly so given that such a policy entailed a wide scope, whilst rural landlords provided staunch opposition in seizing their ownership to government. However, as the years passed and administrations would change, the promises of sweeping agrarian reform have remained unfinished, otherwise, significantly watered down. Such arbitration would be considered a detrimental factor to the current pitfalls that have hindered the development of Philippine political economy. In that, this paper questions what led to this failure of comprehensive agrarian reform and in pronouncing these mistakes, did other countries experience who also employed land reforms if they experienced similar dilemmas. We argue that deeply seated class structures have inevitably played a role in this development policy outcome, particularly elite groups and landlords who have established themselves in the political arena. The...

...With the advent of the Internet, the role of information has dramatically changed the way people live and do business. As Naval points out in her paper, an immense reduction of time and space barriers among great nations is made possible through interconnectivity. She illustrated that such interconnections result to global transactions being done in the comfort zones of one’s home. This characteristic of the Information Age provides for accessibility to vast reservoirs of knowledge, which is power. 1 It is for this reason that all nations all over the world are adopting ICT-based solutions to address their information needs in this modern era of knowledge explosion. In the Philippines, the government anticipated the importance of Information Technology (IT) as early as the Ramos administration. Ramos in his speech at the First Information Technology and Telecommunications Education Congress outlined the National Information Technology Plan (NITP) of the government. He stressed that IT must be applied to the education sector as a means for national strengthening.2 In 1997, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) reported that the General Appropriations Act of the previous year provided some funds for the CHED-SUCs computerization program. Chairman Angel C. Alcala stated that majority of the fund was used to upgrade the computer capabilities of state-funded institutions. The biggest threat pointed out in the CHED computerization program was the readiness of the people...

...According to Nelson Mandela, one of an African foremost statesman said that “education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” It is supported by one of the approaches of curriculum which is known as reconstructivism where the long term purpose of education is promoted. They are trained to be professionals in the future that in the end will reform the society. Everyone has the right to education as what the Universal Deceleration on Human Rights stated. It is supported by the 1987 Philippine Constitution Section 1 of Article XIV that announces that “the state shall protect and promote the right of all citizen to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.” This creates an avenue for the children to have quality education so that they will have a bright future and a better quality of life that most parents want to achieve and this will be beneficial and helpful to the nation itself. In the Philippine Journal (2006), Moises R. Tamandong cited different ingredients for quality education. He stated the following: 1.Curriculum which caters to the needs of the learners, carefully planned and based on real situations and culture of country by region. 2.Sincere, honest, enthusiastic and God-fearing educators. 3.Competent, well-equipped, skilled, concerned, hardworking, dedicated, properly compressed, loving and caring teachers. 4.Cooperative and concerned parents/ guardian. 5.Responsible media. ...

Jesus Villamor Air Base, Pasay City COMMANDANT’S PAPER THE IMPACT OF INTERNAL SECURITY OPERATION IN THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF AIR DEFENSE WING CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING 1.1 INTRODUCTION "Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur." - Giulio Douhet, Command of the Air A fitting quotation by Douhet for the case of Air Defense Wing wherein the organization was not able to anticipate the streamlining strategy of the government, leaving the Wing no choice but to adapt to the changes in the Command’s thrust of prioritizing Internal Security Operations rather than Territorial Defense Operations to prove its relevance as one of the primary unit of the Philippine Air Force. Caught unprepared of the significant changes in governments thrust, ADW is now suffering in terms of its force structure and budget allocation as it continues to fight for its relevance and existence as one of the premier unit of the PAF.

...China’s exporting and the effect on North America Introduction While it is easy to see why China is becoming more and more powerful in terms of global trading, it is somewhat unfair to mark this country as the reason for the United States economical situation. Some authors, like Robert Scott, claim that the entrance of China into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has negatively affected the United States’ unemployment rate, the jobs production and its income per capita reduction. In the next pages, the report written by Roger E. Scott entitled: ‘Costly Trade with China. Millions of U.S. jobs with net job loss in every state’ will be analyzed to determine what China has been doing to become the number one exporter in the world, as well as the impact that China’s exporting has had in the United States. It also will be determined how costly it has been to the United States to trade with them; what other factors may have affected the United States and its trading capacity; and what the future implies for the commercial relationship between these two countries. Finally, it will be discussed whether or not the United States should seize other opportunities by creating new free trade blocks with another countries in the world, such as the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Mexico and Canada. Review In 2010, China became the number 1 exporter in the world. However, its inclusion in the international trade world was not easy. Its self-imposed...
