The document discusses the party-list system of proportional representation in the Philippines. It is a mechanism that allows marginalized groups to gain representation in the House of Representatives. Only registered parties and organizations can participate, including sectoral, political, and sectoral organizations or coalitions. To be eligible as a nominee, one must be a natural-born citizen, registered voter, resident for at least one year, literate, and at least 25 years old. Twenty percent of House seats are reserved for party-list representatives. Voters cast two votes, one for a district representative and one for a party. Votes for each party are tallied nationwide and seats are allocated based on percentage of total party-list votes.
This document discusses different views on the concept of politics from several influential thinkers throughout history. Plato viewed politics as governing the affairs of the polis or city-state. Aristotle believed the end of politics is to cultivate virtue in citizens. Thomas Aquinas acknowledged politics as a natural phenomenon but emphasized one's fullness comes from God. Machiavelli asserted leaders may need to act unvirtuously to maintain stability. The document concludes that politics involves power relationships that shape society and advance welfare, though not solely through governance.

To curb corruption, monopolies need transparency and accountability in their decisions and activities.

Scientific Evidence of Health Effects from Coal Use in Energy Generationjundumaug1
Coal combustion for energy generation produces air pollutants that negatively impact human health. Particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides from coal-fired power plants cause respiratory effects like decreased lung function and increased illness. Long-term exposure to particulate matter also increases risk of lung cancer. Coal combustion also contributes to cardiovascular and neurologic disease as well as low birth weight and preterm births. An estimated 210,000 deaths and over 2 million illnesses occur annually worldwide due to health effects of air pollution from coal-fired power plants.
DIRTY KILOWATTS America’s Most Polluting Power Plantsjundumaug1
This document provides a summary of the Environmental Integrity Project's report on America's most polluting power plants. It finds that while emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are declining, carbon dioxide emissions remain steady at around 2.5 billion tons per year. The top 50 power plant polluters are identified for each pollutant based on emission rates and total annual emissions. The report highlights how a small number of older plants continue to emit disproportionate amounts of pollution and calls for holding the electric power industry accountable for cleaning up the dirtiest plants.
The document summarizes the environmental impacts of coal production and use in the United States and China. It finds that coal mining causes significant health and safety risks for miners in both countries, with China's coal mining industry being the most dangerous in the world. Surface coal mining also leads to destruction of terrestrial habitats, particularly through mountain top removal practices. Both countries rely heavily on coal for electricity generation, with over half of power coming from coal-fired plants. Burning coal releases air pollutants that harm public health and contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions.
FORMAL NOTICE FOR THE CDP ILIGAN DISTRICT ASSEMBLYjundumaug1
The district chairman of Iligan City calls a district assembly and officer elections for the Centrist Democratic Party on September 6th.

The Renaissance period saw a revival of classical Greco-Roman ideas in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries. This cultural and intellectual movement was spurred by increased trade and wealth in Italian city-states, which exposed people to new ideas. Major developments included the printing press spreading knowledge, Copernicus and Galileo challenging the Church's geocentric view of the universe, and the Protestant Reformation questioning Church authority. The subsequent Enlightenment applied reason to philosophy, government, and society, promoting ideas of individual rights and challenging absolute monarchies. Thinkers like Locke, Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Rousseau influenced revolutions in America and France seeking more democratic forms of government.
