...of the press and the freedom of the press access to official documents. In contrast to these lofty ideals, the Philippines press from the time of its inception has faced American influence, confiscation of assets for those papers not among the ownership of a former leader, and mistrust of reporters due to shoddy reporting. Newspapers were being published on board American ships as they first entered Manila Bay in 1898. The Bounding Billow was published on board Dewey's flag-ship, and other on-ship U.S. papers included the American Soldier, Freedom and the American, according to the Philippine Journalism Review. These early papers followed U.S. attempts to "civilize" the Filipinos. American journalists in the Philippines went so far as to characterize the natives as "little brown soldiers who enjoyed parading before the patient Americans," and as "a group of warlike tribes who will devour each other when American troops leave." The Americans wasted no time in establishing a press system in the Philippines modeled on that of the one in place in the United States. The Manila Times published its first issue in October 1898, making it the first English-language newspaper in the islands. Newspapers published in the Philippines were under strong American influence and went so far as to champion the annexation of the islands by the United States. Among the newspapers taking this stance were La Democracia and Consolidacion Nacional. Among the papers holding out for independence were...

...SAN BEDA COLLEGE Graduate School of Business Buenaflor, Kricia Angela M Business Research Methods (Writeshop) Title: Impact of Organizational Climate on Job Satisfaction among Academic Staff in Metro, Manila Part I: INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY 1.1 Background of the Study 1.2.1 General context of the problem Despite these scattered efforts on job satisfaction among Academic Employee in the Metro Manila, there is a gap of research on the subject interest in Metro, Manila. Importantly in relation to their organizational climate, therefore, why this study is considered necessary at this time. 1.2.2 Description of the situation by which problem arose and developed. An earlier study by Kestetner (1994) showed that almost half of new educators leave the field during the first five years of their employment. This is expected to be of great concern to all employees because unhappy and dissatisfied employees may translate into poor performance and high staff turnover. 1.2 Initial Review of Related Literature (Five Gurus) 1.2.1 Previous studies’ results and findings related to the problem 1. Research has increasingly examined a global index representing a single strategically focused climate (e.g. a climate for service or a climate for safety) or has focused on a set of climate dimensions (Ostroff et al., 2007) 2. Studies have tended to focus on either psychological or organizational climate on individual outcomes. This is an important omission because...

...he produced a body of work unmatched in richness and range by any of his contemporaries. Living a life wholly devoted to the craft of conjuring a world through words, he was the writer’s writer. In the passion with which he embraced his country’s manifold being, he was his people’s writer as well. Nick Joaquín was born in the old district of Pacò in Manila, Philippines, on September 15, 1917, the feast day of Saint Nicomedes, a protomartyr of Rome, after whom he took his baptismal name. He was born to a home deeply Catholic, educated, and prosperous. His father, Leocadio Joaquín, was a person of some prominence. Leocadio was a procurador (attorney) in the Court of First Instance of Laguna, where he met and married his first wife, at the time of the Philippine Revolution. He shortly joined the insurrection, had the rank of colonel, and was wounded in action. When the hostilities ceased and the country came under American rule, he built a successful practice in law. Around 1906, after the death of his first wife, he married Salomé Márquez, Nick’s mother. A friend of General Emilio Aguinaldo, Leocadio was a popular lawyer in Manila and the Southern Tagalog provinces. He was unsuccessful however when he made a bid for a seat in the Philippine Assembly representing Laguna. Nick Joaquín’s mother was a pretty, well-read woman of her time who had studied in a teacher-training institute during the Spanish period. Though still in her teens when the United States took possession of the...

...perspective: 1. Delay in Reports: Reports from the branches located outside Metro Manila are sent to the Manila Head Office through passenger buses every other day while reports from Metro Manila branches are received daily. 2. Difficulty of ascertaining the true level of branch revenues: During monthly meetings, Ms. Pimentel provides top management with past sales and expenses data for the last five years together with forecasted conditions for the coming year. Some branches exceed the sales budget while some are always below the forecast. Ms. Pimentel, the chief accountant, attributes negative sales variances partly to unrecorded sales and tampering of official receipts. Unrecorded sales or receipts may be done in several ways, examples: a. To provide repair service without the issuance of official receipts. b. To use spare parts of a “good” frame when servicing an order for repair instead of taking the part form the spare parts inventory. The frame from which the part is taken is later on declared as defective. c. The branch staff services orders from customers using the company’s own suppliers. 3. Connivance: Ms. Pimentel believes that this practice implies that personnel at the branches connive with each other in not reportin some revenues for the branch. Statement of the problem: In view of these cases, Ms. Pimentel is proposing to top management that a review of the company’s internal control system be made. Mr. Francisco, the VP for Finance...

...Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2014 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 6-8, 2014 Community-Based Decision Support System for the Manila Health Department Heidelle Marie Jahnelle Cervantes1, Calvin Chua2, Meladaine Ronquillo3, Iñaki Julian Tolentino4 and Ms. Lissa Andrea K. Magpantay1,* De La Salle University, IT Department lissa.magpantay@delasalle.ph Abstract: Decision Support Systems are used extensively in different industries to assist in decision-making across a wide spectrum of problem areas. These systems are being developed with much consideration of its enormous benefits, both in time and cost savings, and most especially in helping organizations in their decision making. The researchers have identified the main problem of the Planning and Coordination Unit in the Manila Health Department (MHD) which is its poor use of information resulting to wrong identification of specific programs for the communities of Manila City. This results to the difficulty of health centers in identifying what barangays need to be prioritized and what nutritional programs have to be implemented. The objective of the study is to develop a community-based decision support system which is web-based that helps MHD in planning and implementing nutrition and health programs to the community in District V of Manila City. Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology was used to develop the system and PHP, HTML, and My SQL were used as the primary programming language...
