1973 constitution of the republic of the philippines (4)Olhen Rence Duque
This document contains the Preamble and various Articles from the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines. The Preamble establishes the purpose of the Constitution in establishing a government that promotes the general welfare and secures blessings of democracy, justice, peace, liberty and equality.

This document discusses the importance of voluntariness in ethics. It defines two types of voluntary acts - direct and indirect. A direct voluntary act is intended for its own sake, while an indirect act is not intended for its own sake but follows as an unintended consequence. The document also outlines conditions for when an agent is responsible for unintended harmful consequences, and discusses principles around actions that have both good and bad effects. Specifically, it states that for such an action to be morally justified, the act itself must be good or neutral, the evil effect cannot be directly intended, there must be a sufficiently grave reason for doing the act, and the good effect cannot be outweighed by the evil effect.
Rizal insisted on education as key to social progress and nation-building in the Philippines. He urged the Spanish government to improve education for Filipinos to address backwardness.

Rizal also tirelessly promoted national unity among Filipinos as essential for surviving injustice and developing the nation. He encouraged collective action and sacrifice for the greater good of their country.
This document discusses the definition and key aspects of contracts. A contract is an agreement between parties that is legally binding and requires all terms to be fulfilled as agreed upon. Contracts can be entered into by private individuals or governments. The terms of a contract cannot be changed without consent from both parties as that would impair the contract.
Political parties and interest groups (2)LOLITA GANDIA
The document discusses different types of political parties and interest groups. It defines political parties as voluntary associations that advocate certain policies and nominate candidates for election, while interest groups make claims on the government without running candidates. It contrasts their functions, with political parties seeking direct political power through elections and interest groups sometimes supporting parties but not running candidates. The document also discusses types of political systems, including two-party, multi-party, and one-party systems, outlining their advantages and disadvantages.
Ferdinand Marcos served as the 10th President of the Philippines from 1965 to 1986. During his presidency, he faced challenges like corruption and smuggling. He reorganized several government agencies and pursued infrastructure projects. However, he eventually declared martial law in 1972 and ruled as a dictator. In 1986, Marcos claimed victory in a presidential election but the results were disputed and massive protests erupted, leading to his ouster. He fled to Hawaii in exile and died in 1989. In 2016, the Supreme Court ruled that Marcos could receive a hero's burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani cemetery, a controversial decision supported by President Duterte.

The document then outlines the basic characteristics of human rights as fundamental, inalienable, and universal. It proceeds to categorize human rights and provide examples, such as political rights, democratic rights, and economic/social/cultural rights. The document concludes by tracing the origins of human rights protections in the Philippines from the 1896 Malolos Constitution to provisions in modern constitutions beginning in 1935.
The document discusses the meaning of freedom from a Christian perspective. It defines freedom not as doing whatever one wants, but as having the capacity to do what is good. True freedom is directed towards choosing the good and is social and relational in nature. Freedom involves both exterior and interior obstacles that can hinder becoming our best selves. The greatest obstacle is sin. Authentic freedom is exercised through making fundamental choices to do good and particular moral choices in daily life that shape our character.

- Andres Bonifacio founded the secret revolutionary society called the Katipunan in 1892 with the goal of gaining independence from Spain through armed revolution.
- The Katipunan grew rapidly using a triangle recruitment system and monthly member dues. It established a governing structure from the Supreme Council down to local councils.

A federal system has three key characteristics: 1) authority is retained at the top level of government; 2) there are two levels of government but sovereignty remains with the states/provinces; and 3) the two levels of government have equal jurisdiction. Pluralism holds that interest groups and political parties determine public policy through bargaining and compromise as rational individuals act in their self-interest by joining groups to better represent their views. Interest groups and political parties supplement formal government structures by communicating public opinions and values, though they differ in their level of organization and breadth of issues.
The document discusses the evolution of constitutions in Philippine history, beginning with the 1897 Constitution of Biak-na-Bato and including the 1899 Malolos Constitution, the 1935 Commonwealth Constitution, the 1973 Constitutional Authoritarianism under Marcos, and the 1987 Constitution after Martial Law. It analyzes key aspects of these constitutions such as the separation of powers and the rights and freedoms established. The document also examines attempts to amend the current 1987 Constitution.
Citizenship refers to membership in a political society that implies duties of allegiance and protection. There are two main ways to acquire citizenship - involuntary through birth or voluntary through naturalization. Citizenship can also be lost voluntarily through actions like obtaining foreign citizenship or involuntarily through actions during wartime. The Philippines follows jus sanguinis in determining citizenship for children based on the citizenship of their parents. Naturalized citizens are prohibited from practicing dual allegiance to the Philippines and another country. The document outlines the rights and duties of citizens, including being loyal to the republic and defending the state.

Jasmine Foundation Briefing: Tunisian new elections lawJasmine Foundation
Tunisia’s National Constituent Assembly passed, on 1st May, a new Electoral Law, marking a key step towards completing its democratic transition. The new Fundamental Law on Elections and Referenda, adopted by 132 deputies with 11 against and 9 abstentions, sets out the process for organising elections and referenda, from registration of voters to declaration of results and contestation mechanisms.
It comes as a result of two months of discussions within the Assembly and intense debate in the Consensus Committee (set up last June as a forum for political parties to debate the most contentious points within the Constitution and the democratic transition). The law is based on draft proposals by a group of civil society organisations, including Chahed Observatory, ATIDE, Youth without Borders, the Foundation for the Future and the Centre for Citizenship.
Unfair Elections in Vietnam (updated April 18, 2016)Doan Trang
This report provides an insight into the 2016 legislative elections in Vietnam, with an analysis of the political system and electoral process and how they are used to restrict the citizens’ right to participation.
It also gives factual accounts of harassment and rights violations against the independent candidates who, for the first time in the country’s history, courageously speak out against the repressive system by employing social media and standing for an election in which they see no chance to win.
Restriction of freedoms of movement, expression and assembly, intimidation and harassment by the police, defamation by the propagandists and the biased media are some among many forms of rights violation. Besides, the independent candidates are subjected to public haranguing in “meetings with constituents” which appear to be a procedure unique to China and Vietnam.
The analysis and accounts highlight the conclusion that the legislative elections in Vietnam are not free and fair under the rule of the Vietnamese Communist Party. Steps should be taken to bring about a legal and political reform in the country to ensure promote human rights, of which the rights to participation are crucial.
The constitution is South Africa's supreme law and establishes fundamental principles for governing the country, including protecting citizens' rights.

Workplace conduct and performance must adhere to these requirements as well as organizational and individual work ethics.
Project presentation about the Philippine Election. Contains the Right of suffrage, Qualifications and Disqualifications, history of election in the Philippines, branches of the Philippine Government, and action point.
This document discusses suffrage and the electoral process. It defines suffrage as the right to vote and outlines three international instruments that establish universal suffrage. There are five theories of suffrage discussed, including suffrage as a natural right and as a function of government. The electoral process involves nomination of candidates through party conventions, primaries, or petitions, as well as voter registration. On election day, citizens vote and their political maneuvering culminates. Other forms of direct democracy mentioned are initiatives and referendums.
The powers of the government, by virtue of this principle are divided into three (3) distinct classes: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. They are distributed, respectively among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches or departments of the government.
Under the principle of co-equal and coordinate powers among the three (3) branches, the officers entrusted with each of these powers are not permitted to encroach upon the powers confided to the others. If one department goes beyond the limits set by the Constitution, its acts are null and void. The adoption of this principle was motivated by the belief that arbitrary rule would result if the same person or body were to exercise all the powers of the government.
Unfair Elections in Vietnam (updated April 21, 2016)Doan Trang
The VCP’s monopoly on power can hardly be challenged, but that is actually what democracy supporters inside and outside Vietnam must do to protect and promote human rights in the country. In particular, it is strongly recommended that:
1.The system of “negotiations” be abolished;
2.A party-list system be built with the presence of more than one political party in the country;
3.The Vietnam Fatherland Front and its affiliates be disbanded, or they must stop organizing the legislative elections under the instructions of the VCP;
4.Freedom of the media be guaranteed so that the media can publish information about each candidate to provide the basis for voters’ choices, and independently observe and monitor the electoral process;
5.Freedom of expression and assembly be guaranteed so that the voters, the press and the candidates can express their support or opposition;
6.Equal treatment of all candidates be secured.

The constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949 and enacted on January 26, 1950. It establishes a federal structure with three lists delineating powers of central and state governments. The constitution guarantees fundamental rights like equality, freedom of speech and religion. It also establishes fundamental duties and directive principles of state policy. The hierarchy of courts includes the Supreme Court, high courts and district courts, with the Supreme Court having writ jurisdiction to enforce fundamental rights.
Similar to Salient Points of The Draft Charter (20)
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.
Caliba autonomy as a mechanism to address exclusion and enhance participation...Philippine Press Institute
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.

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.

This document lists the Board of Governors/Trustees of the Philippine Press Institute (PPI) from 1964 to 2003. It shows the leadership and members of the board over the years. Key details include Joaquin Roces and Ramon Roces being early members in 1964. In later years, Amado Macasaet served as a long-time Chairman-President while others like Isagani Yambot, Raul Locsin, and Eugenia Apostol also had long tenures on the board. The board represented different regions of the Philippines.
This document provides a guide to fact checking by defining what fact checking is, why it is important, who does it, and how it is done. Fact checking is determining the truth and accuracy of statements in nonfiction texts by verifying claims before or after publication. It promotes accountability and transparency in journalism. Fact checkers investigate politicians' statements and articles for false or misleading claims using sources like government records, statistics, and expert interviews. They preserve evidence and present just the facts to debunk "fake news" while maintaining transparency in their sources and methods.

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.
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

“Our skepticism is rooted in the
Marcos era where the dictator used
constitutional change to duck term
limits. Since that trust was betrayed,
politicians have not earned our
respect.” Dante Gatmaytan –
Professor, U.P. College of Law
“The reason the many attempts of Congress
or groups to change the 1987 Constitution
failed is not by reason of intrinsic merit. It is
because the attempts were viewed as
nothing but veiled attempts to extend the
term of office of the President. That is the
simple reason.” Retired Supreme Court (SC)
Justice Vicente Mendoza
“The president (Arroyo) decided to push for
only one amendment: to change our
presidential government with a bicameral
congress to a parliamentary government
that would be unicameral. She dropped our
proposal to change our unitary republic into
a federal republic and to liberalize the
nationalistic provisions on foreign
participation in our economy.“ – Dr. Jose

Remove the
complexities of
Chacha.
One at a time.
Focus for faster
achievement of the
promised reforms.
FEDERALISM – NOW
NA!
The principle of subsidiarity
must be accorded with
highest respects. We need
to trust our people more.
With resources to help
enhance their capacities,
citizens can greatly assist in
extracting accountabilities
from regional and local
leaders.
