...On November 8, 2013, Typhoon Yolanda , a super typhoon of unprecedented power , made landfall among the islands of the Philippines causing massive devastation across multiple islands. Particularly affected were many of the poorest communities whose already stressed circumstances were even further com promised by the storm. Yolanda decimated entire regions as it made landfall five times while crossing over the central Philippine islands. The storm affected 4 provinces and 10,436 barangays in 575 municipalities when it hit land with sustained winds of 196mph and even stronger gusts which ripped off roofs, collapsed buildings, shattered windows and inundated coastal regions with an incredible storm surge. The storm surge swallowed houses and people, destroyed boats and fishing inputs and left the majority of homes either completely destroyed or uninhabitable . In the aftermath, UNOCHA reports place the number of affected people at 13.28 million. As of the 22nd November 2013 , Yolanda has left dead 4,015 and has displaced 921,356 families/4,330,502 persons. Housing damage reports remain at 1,085,446 (536,313 completely destroyed with another 549,133 partially damaged). Millions of affected persons depend on daily food aid that is provided through local government units; and although food security remains a lower priority for most families; this could change very quickly if food distributions cease without first addressing the core issues surrounding loss of livelihood. Additionally...

...babatikusin. Sa aking pananaw maaring tama na ang gobyerno o ang mga politiko ang ating dapat sisihin sa isyu ng katiwalian sa ating bansa. Ngunit naiisip nyo ba na maaaring mismong nasa mamamayan ng isang bansa ang problema? Maaaring parehong ang gobyerno at ang mamamayan nito ang tunay na may kasalanan kung bakit naghihirap ang isang bansa hindi ba? Patunay rito ay ang mga taong nabubuhay nang lampas sa kanilang kakayahan. Sila ang mga taong palaasa sa iba. Sa ganitong gawain nila, sino ang may kasalanan? Ang gobyerno at ang mga politiko? O ang mga taong palaasa? Ang dokumentaryong aking napanood ay tumatalakay sa paksa hinggil sa kung ano ang mas nakakaapekto o nakakapinsala sa ating lipunan ito ba ay ang Bagyong Yolanda o ang Bagyong Gobyerno?

...The theme of this lesson is faith. Please listen to the 2 songs I am about to play about faith. The first song is only believe by Yolanda Adams. The second song is if you just believe song by Marvin Sapp. Now that you heard faith based songs let these songs about faith minister to you, I am going to ask each of you one by one what you think faith is. • The bible defines faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. For examples: - I dream of becoming so rich, that I have more than enough money to sink a battleship. I asked God to make me rich and believe it will happen although I have not seen it yet. This is an example of faith. - I dream of visiting God’s throne room to sit upon his lap and receive his loving-kindness and feel it in my heart. I asked God for this and I already believe I am going to get it although I have not seen it yet. This is another example of faith. - I dream of going to heaven young without ever getting old. I asked God to make this dream come true and I believe it will although it hasn’t yet. This is also an example of faith. - I dream of getting a masters degree level education and asked God to help make this dream come true. I believe it will come true although it hasn’t yet. This is an example of faith too. Would anyone of you by show of hands care to tell a story that exemplifies faith. A story in which you asked God for something and believed...

...Some researchers believe that the born characteristics are more important for the development of personality than the experience we may have in our live. In fact, innate traits are inevitable and may affect our life in the long term. However, in my own opinion, experience is the major influence that plays the vital role in forming our qualification. I believe this thing is true for these two main reasons. Firstly, personality can be changed through education. Children are sent to school to learn how to behave well and have a good awareness of the fairness, the love, the rights and the success. We will know what should do and what should not do to suit the life‘s condition and to keep all the relationship much longer. Secondly, the outside factors affect us in many ways, especially our friends. The old saying ‘’ A man is known by the company he keeps’’ always remind you of how much the surrounding people affect you. For instance, you play with a group of people, so you tend to imitate their hobbies, their style and so on. Moreover, you may change your appearance or even your own characteristic to look like the rest of them in order to join the group perfectly. In addition, my own experience supports my statement a lot. I used to be lazy in studying and never dreamed of good marks. My parents complained about my result all the time and forced me to study much more. I had many friends and they were all learn well at school. They set an example for me and I consciously knew...

...A Day in the Life of Yolanda Valdez Peter F. Drucker, an Austrian-born, American Management consultant once said “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”. On paper, anyone can make himself or herself look like an efficient leader. You can say that it’s not until you follow an employee around for a day to figure out how efficient they actually are. Yolanda Valdez, VP of Marketing at Clear Vision Group, was followed around for a day so that the reader could determine just that. Clear Vision Group, a company under S.G. Davis, is a leading global designer and distributor of eyewear and sun wear for men, women and children. They operate under the retail name ClearVue. “Clear Vision is a marketing-oriented company that bases its strategy on understanding customer’s needs and developing and delivering distinctive characteristics that appeal to customers.” (Hellriegel & Slocum 542). Understanding that the company is structured around marketing tells us that Yolanda plays a major role in the direction of the company. As we investigate the nature of an average day of Yolanda, we begin to see whether she is doing the right things, or simply just doing things right. When trying to understand where Yolanda excels or comes up short as a manager we will look at the seven key competencies for individual, team, and organizational effectiveness. These competencies will shed some light on how to be an effective leader and help her organization prosper....

...In the case of Typhoon Yolanda the co-ordination of many teams of search and operations was poorly coordinated. Some of them could not agree on basic statistics about number of casualties. Aside from the teams that came in to Leyte, there were many different activities that have to be coordinated. Hanssen (2015) said that in search and rescue operations it is important for operation leaders to have relevant information at hand in a timely manner. Many such operations involve rather ad hoc organization, since they may depend on effort from various volunteers, amateurs and experts in different fields that are willing to help. There may be different organizations and different cultures involved, using current tools and collaboration patterns. It may be challenging to coordinate the effort in an efficient and effective manner while at the same time we do not want to compromise the safety of the involved personnel. Virtually however, the Philippine government claims to have an NDRR Plan which was created in 2012 a year before typhoon Yolanda had a land fall in...

...Anyway, there’s also a big chance that the Next Big One might happen under the new leadership. If this is the case, then this government has further exposed its reactive nature in the face of adversity, cementing the suspicions conceived after Typhoon Yolanda ravaged the country more than two years ago. With the behavior its officials are exhibiting based on the preparedness plan, things we are trying to prevent from happening will likely surface, putting all our initial efforts in vain. The relief and recovery system that we foresee will be replaced by what this government is so fond of doing post-disturbances - a ceaseless blame game. And after these finger-pointing dramas that will surely hit the headlines, the heart of the issues will be forgotten, buried alongside with the bodies of the victims of the government neglect, and with the justice they so deserved. And the culprits who perpetrated and inflicted the further misery will remain untouchable and scot-free....
