If this works then I've found the best picture poster for blogger when I'm online; Picaso. If not, oh well.

Midnight Appointments

So the outgoing President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is being given heat for her last minute appointments. According to the transition team of the incumbent, GMA appointed about 1,000 people right before the appointment ban happened last March 10, 2010. Noynoy's transition team however says that the number is understated and counts almost 5,000 appointments.

Which got me thinking, for the many better qualified appointees, time will be wasted while they wait for the GMA appointees to finish their term.

However, for the political appointees, which include the under qualified (competence-wise, not legally), it might mean less money for them while they wait for their turn for the political spoils.

So who is to win? I'm sure the under qualified political appointees-in-waiting will be using their more competent appointees-in-waiting as basis to bash the GMA administration.

While GMA has done many good things for our government, Noynoy has won, and, even if he may want a clean government, his avid supporters are already salivating in the shadows to divide the spoils. I can only hope that the incoming administration fulfills its promise to eradicate corruption. Para walang mahirap.

Leaded or Unleaded?

Always made me laugh when people asked the gas attendant for unleaded. There has not been leaded gas in the Philippines for quite some time.

Time Magazine calls it one of the worst inventions ever.

Testing Adobe Contribute

 

This is my first entry using Adobe Contribute. Contribute is a program as part of Adobe CS5 Master Suite Collection that lets me post to publishing websites such as Blogger and other popular blog sides without having to log-in using the browser. Pretty neat program if you ask me and it lets me save what I want to write offline before having to publish online. I can't seem to get the image thing though, it won't seem to add. I'll figure that out later.

Sometimes People Do What they feel

This may be a bad time to write about it, but my class is being accused of cheating on a test. What bothers me is that it will involve me getting a significantly lower grade than i deserve for that class. The professor is looking for the main source of the document to stand up or else the others will fail.

Even if I wanted to, I could not, because I dont know who or where the document came from because i make it a point to live my life separately from law. Haay. That's why I'm glad I just stay away from school as much as possible. Sayang all the hard work I put into that class.

Its a good day to be insulated from all the shenanigans.

Corp Finals

I think the story behind this link was the inspiration for our Corporation Law finals last March.

MANILA, Philippines – Ayala-led business process outsourcing (BPO) company Integreon Inc. has been tapped to provide back-office legal services to one of the world’s largest law firms.
Local conglomerate Ayala Corp. on Tuesday announced that its unit Integreon had signed a 10-year contract to provide “middle-office,” non-billable services to United Kingdom-based CMS Cameron McKenna LLC.
The contract, worth $852 million, is seen as the biggest of its kind the legal outsourcing industry has ever seen.
The services to be sub-contracted to Integreon includes substantial portions of accounting and finance, human resources and training, marketing and communications, learning and development, library and information services, research, information technology, facilities and other services.

Congratulations Mr. President

Putting aside our personal feelings, I believe we should support our new President, whoever he may be. I pray this starts the process of Nation Building.

Let us support our new President and give our country a chance at a new life!



Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
