This document is an Administrative Order from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Philippines mandating that all mining contractors secure ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems. It requires contractors with existing mineral agreements and financial/technical assistance agreements engaged in metallic mining to obtain certification within one year. Contractors filing new metallic mining projects must be certified within one year of project approval. Non-metallic mining contractors have one year to voluntarily comply but certification will become mandatory on a future deadline. Failure to comply or maintain certification will result in suspension of environmental compliance certificates and permits until certification is achieved. The order also establishes periodic reviews of contractor operations to ensure environmental compliance.

The study is based on a detailed analysis of 303 major mining companies that operated between 1980 and 2009. From this it estimated that in 2009 the world’s minerals industry generated $800 billion in sales, $100 billion in profits and paid $75 billion in direct taxes (excluding royalties and import duties).
The study shows that industry returns are very volatile, with changes of +/-30% not uncommon – driven by fluctuations in commodity prices. During the period 1980-2000 the industry generated an average return on capital no better than investing in US Government Bonds. This situation has improved in the last five years, due to the rising prices caused by strong demand from China.
Another characteristic is that the industry is very capital-intensive and spends most of its profits on growing the business. Consequently, Governments need to be mindful that increasing taxes during boom-times may be counter-productive … and may kill the golden goose.

The document summarizes and critiques the Puno ConCom constitution proposal. It argues that the proposal is objectionable due to the current populist context in the Philippines and some concerning content changes. Specifically, it argues that the proposal would further concentrate power in the presidency and weaken checks on executive authority. Additionally, it questions whether federalism is actually the best means to address poverty and inequality in the country based on empirical studies. The document raises doubts about the transition process and risks of political dynasties gaining more regional control under the proposed federal system.
The document summarizes the major proposals from the Constitutional Committee to revise the 1987 Philippine Constitution and adopt a federal system. It is proposed that the country be transformed into a Federal Republic comprised of 18 federated regions. Power would be distributed between the federal government and the regions. The federal government would be responsible for defense, foreign affairs, currency, while the regions would handle infrastructure, tourism, and economic development. It is also proposed to establish four new high courts to divide the judicial powers and help speed up case resolution.

This document discusses regional autonomy and self-governance as mechanisms to address the historical exclusion of minorities in the Philippines and enhance their political participation. It outlines how the 1987 Constitution and Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act recognize the rights of indigenous groups to self-determination and ancestral lands. However, some court cases have challenged these rights and concerns remain regarding the draft federal constitution. The document argues that autonomy and upholding indigenous rights will strengthen inclusion and that these rights should be firmly established in the constitution.
This document discusses past attempts at charter change in the Philippines and reasons they failed. It notes that almost every administration since martial law has proposed charter change. Past efforts failed because they were seen as ways for presidents to extend their terms rather than due to a lack of merit in the proposed amendments. Specific failed attempts discussed include those under President Erap, Gloria Arroyo, and a PDP-Laban proposal. Skepticism of charter change comes from the misuse of constitutional amendments under Marcos.

Going Beyond Concepts: The Consultative Committee Draft Federal Philippine Constitution by Professor Edmund Tayao for the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Philippine Press Institute seminar on understanding federalism in the Philippine Context.
Federalism overview by Atty. Barry Gutierrez for the Seminar on Understanding Federalism in the Philippine Context; Supported by Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Philippine Press Institute
Fiscal Federalism and Comparative Analysis of Practices Regarding Political D...Philippine Press Institute
1) The document discusses principles of fiscal federalism including the need for subnational governments to have substantial revenue raising powers and transfers to remedy fiscal gaps.
2) Guidelines are provided for assigning taxes and transfers between different levels of government. Taxes should relate to responsibilities and mobility, transfers should consider population, income, and performance.
3) Political dynasties are discussed as a challenge for federalism, with roots in inequality, lack of checks and balances, and culture. Ways to address this include fiscal decentralization with discipline, multi-member districts, and empowering voters and civil society.
This document discusses key characteristics and principles of federalism. It covers topics such as shared rule and divided rule between central and regional governments, representation of regional governments in decision making, protection of regional identities, and the division of powers between central and regional levels of government. The document also examines variations that can exist in federal systems, such as asymmetric powers among regions, presidential vs parliamentary systems, and electoral systems. Flexibility, diversity of regional regimes, types of federal party systems, and functions of upper legislative houses are also addressed.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
