I, TOO, OPPOSE THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY

For quite sometime, I have been silent about political issues that affecting the country. However, this time, I have spared time to air and adamantly express my opposition to the proposed CON-ASS. Though the administration keeps on telling that there will be election on 2010 and that the plan for a parliamentary form of government will not pursue, I believe that a strong opposition against it is needed. Despite the denials of the administration, be it noted that the government has not been true to its words. The government and the present administration is an exemplar of broken promises. Hence, before the country's future be placed in the hands of few and the Filipino people be ruled by crooked and corrupt politicians, acting against its possibility should be prevented. SHOUT YOUR OPPOSITION AGAINST CON-ASS!

The Power of Internet

While browsing the net, I have encountered the article entitled The Internet and Financial Crisis. The article mainly discusses re effect of financial crisis that is being experienced by every individual which, in turn, has affected every household. In the later part, it also discusses and recommends an effective alternative in surviving recession. The most effective tool in fighting the catastrophic outcome of recession is the internet.

Recession has become a significant issue in the whole world. Not only companies have been affected but also every individual. Notably, hundreds of companies regardless of nature have gone down to closure. Many industries adjusted to the global situation. As a result, many people were left unemployed and meeting each household’s needs were quite hard to meet. However, through the use of internet, several things can be done. Aside from being entertained of various information, videos, games and other activities, one can also find various earning opportunities in the internet. One can use internet to find jobs from across the world and from different industries. More importantly, internet can also be used in business. Through the power of internet, one can establish his or her business without the hassle and burden of paying stalls, tax, storage, and other fees. Through internet, one can also earn from home through various freelance jobs and by maintaining websites. On today’s situation, one can truly rely on the power of internet.

A weapon against destruction

With the invention of internet, various things which have been impossible before can now be possibly done. Many surprises appear in just one click in the World Wide Web. Apart from that millions of opportunities are made available through the internet. However, with the innovation of internet, various hassles have also been created. Virus is one. It can be remembered that in the late 90’s the love bug virus bombarded the millions of computers and billions were lost due to that virus. One click has made it possible for one virus to ruin almost everything. Virus is indeed powerful. Eventually, various kinds of viruses spread in the internet and wireless communication. Many files and transactions have been exposed to threat of being hacked, lost, or circulated. Other viruses, on the other hand, create annoyance and even reformatting of computer and loss of data.

In resolving the problem on virus, anti-virus has been invented. Among the anti-virus tools that are effective in expelling viruses include anti-spyware and anti-malware. Through these antivirus tools, data are secured from being hacked or from being lost. It also drives away illegal file intruders and will give assurance and security despite various threat of virus in the internet. I do have an encounter with viruses. While surfing the net, I accidentally clicked an image which led to me to doubtful and unreliable site. Eventually, my computer didn’t work the following day. Upon opening my computer, the image of the virus automatically pops up making the computer useless. The only way that made the computer work again was reformatting it. As expected, no data was retrieved. The effect of virus is indeed unbearable and tremendous. So, before experiencing what I have experienced, it is better to secure your computer with antivirus tools.

Understanding CON-ASS

The words Cha-Cha, Con-Ass, and Constituent Assembly have been reverberating in everyone’s ears due to the heating opposition and dissent from the people. Just recently, the protest against Con-Ass has also assembled thousands of protesters in Makati City to strongly air their sentiments against the president’s Con-Ass. Thereafter, several protests against Cha-Cha have been performed in public streets of Manila and in other cities. It has also been regularly covered in all print and broadcast media. However, despite the popularity of the opposed Con-Ass, probably some have no clear knowledge about it and some may have no interest at all about the issue.

Historically, the attempt to change the Constitution has already been proposed even centuries ago since its ratification. There have also been various politicians or presidents who attempted to initiate to change the Constitution. However, the 1987 Constitution remained untouched.

HR 1109 and Role of Senate

Under the 1987 Constitution, the revision or amendment of fundamental law of the land may only be proposed through a Constituent Assembly and through Constitutional Convention. The present proposition of the House of Representative falls under the Constituent Assembly wherein amendments or revisions may be made by a vote of two thirds of the Congress. In the House Resolution 1109, it contained the call for a Constituent Assembly wherein the proponents have called to assemble the member of Congress to revise and amend the Constitution even without the Senate approving it.

The Congressmen have clearly relied upon the words of the Constitution which states; “Section 1. Any amendment to, or revision of, this Constitution may be proposed by: (1) The Congress, upon a vote of three-fourths of all its Members.” To further support their proposal, the Resolution further states;

“WHEREAS, it is to be emphasized and underscored that some essential words and phrases in the aforequoted 1935 Constitution were deleted and no longer contained in the aforequoted 1987 Constitution, such that the “amendments by deletion” are as follows:

1. The phrase “in joint session assembled” in the 1935 Constitution was deleted;

2. The phrase that the Senate and the House of Representatives, voting separately” was also deleted;

3. The percentage of voting three-fourths of the respective membership of each House (the Senate and the House of Representatives) treated separately has also been deleted and substituted with a vote of three-fourths of all the Members of Congress (i.e., ¾ of the “members of Congress” without distinction as to which institution of Congress they belong to).

In several interviews also, the Congressmen who passed the resolution were determined and adamant in their stand that CON-ASS may pursue even without the Senate. Clearly, they emphasized that even if the Senate will not participate, it is still enough for them to pass any revision or amendment.

However, in the words of Constitutional guru, Fr. Joaquin Bernas, the Congress being referred to is composed necessarily of both the House of Representative and the Senate. The Constituent Assembly also pertains to the House of Representatives and Senate. Other constitutionalists also interpret the law as such. Hence, in revising or amending the Constitution, participation of Senate is indispensable. Nevertheless, even if the Senate will join the Con-Ass, their votes would be outnumbered by the number of Congressmen proposing for amending the Constitution.

With this kind of situation, the Con-Ass may successful and changes may be made in the Constitution.

Changing the Constitution is not illegal, bad or wrong per se. But the protests around the country may raise a question as why is it being opposed due to different reactions I have heard personally. While watching the news inside a bus, I heard someone saying "rally na naman, hindi ba sila nagsasawa?" During the rally in Makati, the news reporter received the same answer from their correspondents- that Con-Ass is being opposed to prevent the extension of the term of GMA.

Though this is true, there are other reason why the Con-Ass should be prevented and strongly opposed for the time being. As has been said, changing the Constitution is not bad. However, the time is not right.

The proposed Con-Ass is being opposed because it may be used by the administration to implement its plan to change the government into federal form. Eventually, the term of GMA may also be extended.2010 election may not pursue. In addition, they may also proposed that foreign investors/businessmen may own 100% ownership of his company in the country. Real and present danger is, hence,attached to the plan of changing the Constitution.

For some, the Con-Ass may mean nothing. But, in reality, every Filipino is directly affected by it. Be it noted also that the Congress' act of passing the bill in only a split of hours suggests doubt and controversy. Though there is nothing wrong with the resolution per se, the action of the Congressmen towards it is suspicious. Several personalities from administration also reiterated that 2010 will pursue and that CHA-CHA will not include term extension, HOWEVER, these politicians who uttered such words or promise are barefaced liar. So, how could they be trusted? Will they ever stand for the truthfulness of their statements?

Hence, in order to erase the fears, doubts, suspicions, and to fully establish that the proposed amendments will benefit the people, it should be done after the 2010 election. Allowing CHA-CHA after election is the acid test for the objectives of the Congressmen behind it.

(N.B. this is based on my limited knowledge about Con-Ass and if you have additional info please share it to me ^-^).

Maximize your marketing capability!

In the world of business, marketing is an indispensable factor in increasing the sales and eventually in the achievement of success. Marketing tools were primarily composed of advertising in both broadcast and print media. The use of word of mouth and testimonials were also used. Other strategies were adopted by different companies just to make their name, product or services known to the public. On the part of the consumers, information about products and services are relied upon these marketing tools.

On this era of technological advancement, marketing has become more efficient and fast. There are also various marketing tools introduced. Remarkably, Internet is used as the more effective and efficient marketing tools by business owners regardless of its nature and size. Through the use of internet, one can introduce his or her own product or service in a wider market and may reach numerous clients. Internet has also been the continuing tool used by clients in searching information about products or services, companies and individuals. Due to the capability of internet, the search is made faster and more convenient.

However, due to billions of registered products, services, and companies in the internet, the searcher may encounter hassle and be lead to a wrong sites or be given a wrong information. This will surely lead to disappointment and loss on the part of business owners of prospective clients.

Nevertheless, through the generation of business web directory and SEO friendly web directory, these disappointments may be avoided. Apart from that, when one is entered or is listed in a web directory, the client is assured as to the reliability of the business or site. Through directories, the clients are given a short review about the products or services they intend to purchase online. Hence, customer satisfaction is achieved at the very moment the client clicks the keyword from the directory. Furthermore, in the web directory, the nature of products and services are categorized for easier classification by the searcher. For business owners, being in the directory also enhances the site's traffic for more chances of being introduced to the general public.

Simple Things to Save Mother Earth (repost)

You think you can’t help? You’re wrong.
Here are simple tips you can contribute to environment.

1. Do not litter and do not spit.
For a cleaner surroundings, it is good to see not even a piece of candy wrapper anywhere. In many of the countries, littering is strictly prohibited and is even penalized. Some of the cities in the country adopted a “No Littering” and “No Spitting” ordinance. It is a good start. However, still in many places, littering seems to be a hobby. Trash cans are provided and yet many litter are discarded everywhere. Spit are seen everywhere.


2. Do not smoke. Smoking does not only destroy your health but also creates millions of cigarette butts. They pollute the land as they pollute your lungs. Cigarettes butts do not decompose easily; it takes years before it vanishes or biodegrades.

3. Do not chew gum. Yes, chewing gum freshens your breath but is considered a pollutant. Though it is just a tiny waste after chewed, a million tiny can build a mountain. Chewing gums decomposes after number of years.

4. Do not buy goods packed in plastic bags. Many products and grocery items are packed in sachets that end up as useless waste after they are consumed. Plastic takes too many years before they biodegrades and even clog the drainages that causes flood. Buy, instead, those packed in plastic tubes or bottles. You don’t just save money but will also be your source of extra income. Plastic tubes or bottles, glass bottles and cans can be sold in the junk shops. Aside from saving, you also helped in not generating plastic wastes.

5. Use reusable or recyclable bags. When buying your goods make sure to bring with you your cloth bag or paper bag to pack your bought items. You minimize the generation of waste by not needing your goods be packed in another plastic waste. It does not only give you convenience but will also help the environment.


6. Use “energy saving” home appliances. This time, where global warming is getting intense, saving more energy can reduce the production of greenhouse gases. Using energy saving appliances will not only benefit the environment but will also save you a dime when electric bill is due.


7. Save energy. The lesser energy we use the smaller amount we pay and the more money we save. When an appliance is not in use make sure to turn it off and unplug it. In office, make sure to turn off the computer and put off the lights during break time. Or else put your computer is a power saving mode. That way, the energy used is lessened.

earning opportunity through blogging

On this era of technological innovation, making money online is not that difficult. Internet has definitely opened doors and windows for earning extra income. Among the popular means used is blog. Blogging has originally been used to air one's thoughts and ideas about anything. However, blogging has grown up as an opportunity for marketing and earning as well. Blogging has become an interesting source of extra income.

Blog marketing has been an open opportunity for advertisers to market their products and services in an effective and efficient way. But how does it usually work? According to my limited knowledge, this is through the power of clicks that will lead a reader to follow a particular site of advertisers. This way, owner of blog may also earn from it.

This kind of marketing system has mushroomed since the introduction of blog. The encompassing opportunity that blog can offer was eventually discovered by both bloggers and advertisers or marketers. Notably, in the Internet, a product or service is difficult to market because of millions of competitors and the traffic that needs to be beaten in order to make to the top google search. Through advertisements, article or product reviews, testimonials or surveys,among others,product or services are made known to others. Aside from additional traffic, advertising through blog also disseminates information about product or service in an matter of seconds. The reviews also adds benefit for it provides a positive insight about the product or service that would eventually entices a reader to be interested into it.

On the part of consumer, searching a particular product or services online is also strenuous because of millions of sites appearing by simply typing a single world in google or yahoo. In this kind of situations, bloggers plays a vital role because they deliver information about quality product or services through their reviews or advertisements. Hence, through this system, the relationship between marketers, bloggers and consumers is bulit for the same purpose- to address each other's needs. Interestingly, in the world of blogging, paid blogging is an interesting activity because it does not only allows one to help in breaking the marketing barriers in the Internet but also builds up an opportunity to financially grow.
