Sa likod ng kasaysayan: bagani
Ang Bagani ay tribal warriors, defense system ng mga tribo noong may tribal wars pa. Nag-aagawan ng lupa, Manobo laban sa Mamanwa o iba pang tribo. Pero umabot ang panahon na nagkaroon na ng 'Tampuda' (peace pact) ang mga Manobo at Mamanwa, tulad ng 'Diyande' para sa mga B'laan at Bagobo. Nagkaisa ang mga tribo na itigil na ang lahat ng porma ng tribal wars. Lalo pa itong umigting sa panahong nakita nila na ang common enemy na ay ang malalaking dayuhang kompanya ng mina, dams, at plantasyon na nagdidisplace sa kanila at pumapatay sa kanilang mga datu dahil sa pagtutol. Ang Magahat naman ay ang nagpapanatili ng kaayusan at kapayapaan ng tribo sa pangunguna ng datu o tribal leader. PERO BINASTOS ITO NG AFP. GINAMIT ANG MAGAHAT AT...
Kastilyong buhangin sa beach, ginawang bahay ng isang lalaki sa brazil
Sa loob ng mahigit 20 taon, sa isang kastilyong buhangin na malapit sa beach ang ginawang tirahan ng isang lalaki sa Rio de Janeiro sa Brazil. Ang mismong lalaki ang gumawa sa kaniyang kastilo na nilagyan pa niya ng watawat ng kanilang bansa. Pero kahit mayroon siyang "kastilo," hindi naman parang hari ang kaniyang pamumuhay sa kaniyang bahay dahil kulang ito sa kagamitan. Kapag sobrang init umano ang panahon, nakikitulog ang lalaki sa kaniyang kaibigan. Nasa labas ang kaniyang kusina at nakikigamit siya ng palikuran sa kalapit na firehouse. Gayunman, mistulang atrasyon na sa ilang bumisita sa beach ang kaniyang kastilyo Source...
Kalagayan ng mga bpo workers sa bansa
Mg_0803 by TypeSend posted Apr 30, 2018 at 6:45 AM Sa kabila ng ningning na dala ng industriyang ito sa ekonomiya ng bansa, makulimlim ang papawirin sa ibabaw ng maraming ahente ng business process outsourcing (BPO). Umpisa pa lang ng dekada 1990s, nag-aambag na nang malaki sa kabuuang gross domestic product(GDP) ng bansa ang industriya ng BPO. Noong 2016, umabot sa P22- Bilyon ang naging ambag nito sa ekonomiya ng bansa. Pero sa kabila ng mabilis nitong pag-unlad, pagdaan ng panaho’y papasahol naman ang kalagayan ng milyun-milyong manggagawa ng industriya ng BPO. Kung noon, tinitingnan ng maraming kabataang bagong gradwado sa kolehiyo — o kahit hindi gradwado — ang BPO bilang siguradong pupuntahang trabaho na may nakabubuhay na...

The truth about political surveys

Dalawang klase ang survey, una ay yung commissioned o binayaran ng isang indibidwal o grupo; ang pangalawa ay non-commissioned o inisyatiba ng survey company para alamin ang pulso ng bayan sa isang produkto o pananaw ng bayan sa isang pangyayari; at kasama nga dito ang popularidad ng isang produkto o tao, sa pagkakataon ito ay ang kandidato (pre-election survey). Ang ganitong klase ng survey politikal, kontrolado ng nagbayad ang mga datos at maikokondiserang pribado kaya't hindi mauusisa ang datos at metodolohiya; kung saang lugar ginawa, demographic (o...
Palace powerless to ban ‘endo’ in ph – official
Malacañang admitted on Monday that it is powerless in enforcing a ban on contractual work arrangements in the country, noting that an Executive Order (EO) is not enough to enforce a total ban on contractualization. Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra said lawmakers should amend the Labor Code to abolish contractualization. The elimination of contractualization is one of President Rodrigo Duterte’s main campaign promises in the 2016 national elections. “That draft EO has been under study in our office for quite some time. The main problem there is iyong mga gustong mangyari ay (what they want to happen is) something that the executive department is not empowered to do, kailangan legislative action talaga (it really needs...
Who is gary webb?
This is Gary Webb. In 1996, Gary exposed how the CIA hired drug dealer Danilo Blandon and other traffickers to sell massive amount of cocaine in the United States, in order to raise untraceable funds to finance a terrorist organization known as the Contras, who were trying to overthrow the Nicaraguan government.

As a result, the mainstream media vilified Gary Webb and destroyed his career which also led to the destruction of his marriage.But Gary refused to back down and stoodfirm against the system. In 2004, Gary was found dead with 2 bullet wounds to his head. The death was ruled a suicide. This man literally...
