The Filipino way with presidents | Hotmanila

Benigno Aquino III might have shown he’s a different kind of President, might have clearly demonstrated he’s not corrupt and doesn’t plunder, might have led a government that has supervised a dramatic growth in the economy and a reform of internal revenues as well as increased transparency in governance. Doesn’t matter. He’s still derided, vilified and belittled 24×7. And a crisis like the Mamasapano clash is grist to the mill, a leverage point for critics (casual, sincere and hypocritical), haters, political outs and wannabes to try to dislodge the president. Even sinister Catholic clerics, who probably want to brng back the 19th century, have joined in.

Although in three years, the Aquino administration has managed the unheard of feat of impeaching a dubious Supreme Court Chief Justice and arresting three prominent senators – strangely, somehow Aquino has been painted as the guilty party. He’s under a steady unremitting attack that’s eroding his popularity (which by the way according to the last published survey is still the highest figure compared to the past four presidents). Aquino is supposed to be simultaneously an inept bumbler and an evil genius, a hapless incompetent and a sinister dictator. It’s probably only a matter of time before he’s accused of stealing watches or candy from a mall store.

$q.serial a cleaner way to execute promises serially in AngularJS.March 11, 2015UncategorizedSteven WexlerHey AngularJS devs! Let’s talk about executing async tasks serially with promises and how $q.serial can help.First, we notice .then allows our success/fail callbacks to return a promise. $q treats success/fail callbacks that return promises specially. We’ll look at two examples to see how $q treats success/fail functions that return promises differently from those that don’t.

The Buddhist Priest Who Became a Billionaire Snubbing Investors – Bloomberg Business

Why can’t I help but decry that in the Philippine Business scene we lack a centering philosophy such as this:

Change Mentalities. The secret, as Inamori tells it, was to change employees’ mentality. After taking the CEO role without pay, he printed a small book for each staff member on his philosophies, which declared that the company was devoted to their growth. He also explained the social significance of their work and outlined Buddhist-inspired principles for how employees should live, such as being humble and doing the right thing. This made them proud of the airline and ready to work harder for its success, Inamori has said.

On Grantland, Collective, and Influence | Bench Points

Grantland launched when I was 20 years old, and is shutting down a couple months into my 25th year. To say it was a big part of my growing up would be an understatement. They’ve been with me for a FIFTH of my existence. I was an angsty player with dreams of writing novels and screenplays. Now I’m a high school English teacher, four months away from getting married, with dreams of writing just something as good as the articles I read on Grantland.All I can say at this point, is thank you, Bill Simmons. Thank you, Zach Lowe. Thank you, Shea Serrano, Rembert Browne, Jonathan Abrams, Katie Baker, Holly Anderson, Bill Barnwell, Amos Barshad, Danny Chau, Chris Ryan, Chris Connelly, Andy Greenwald, Kirk Goldsberry, and literally everyone else who ever participated in something Grantland related. You inspired a generation of wanna-be sports and culture writers. Even Kafka-loving, Carver-emulating, Cheever-hugging fiction guys like me.

‘We got what we wanted’ | Inquirer Opinion

Why BBM/Binay/Poe have NAIVE positions on Hague case.

But Justice Carpio’s reaction to that can be seen in YouTube (Bawal ang Pasaway, Justice Antonio Carpio). According to him, we have had bilateral talks with China since 1995, and we have exhausted ourselves. Eighteen years of bilateral talks is enough. We had to go to arbitration. If we now consent to more bilateral talks, we are weakening our case. Or words to that effect.

‘We got what we wanted’ | Inquirer Opinion

If you are not 100 pro and 100 supporting our case in the Hague, you do not deserve to be President.

To remind the Reader: This is the most important Philippine foreign policy issue.How sweet is the taste of victory. And a main contributor to that victory was Antonio Carpio, who has spent more than four years helping craft the legal strategy that led to it, and beating the international bushes to make sure that the lies of China to “prove” its claim are shown up for what they are. He has written about it, he has travelled all over the world and given speeches and lectures about it—and still kept his rigorous schedule at the Supreme Court. Truly a labor of love. This column has written about his efforts over the past two and a half years.
