How can the Philippines leapfrog from being an exporter of labor, garments and bananas into a technology powerhouse that can outshine India as exporter of innovative new products and software? When will Philippine economic news shift from the usual foreign loans, new taxes, and high budget deficit to technological breakthroughs and the export world-class products? A former poor boy from Cagayan province and now a Filipino technology tycoon in Silicon Valley recently granted us an exclusive interview in his Tallwood Venture Capital office building beside Wells Fargo Bank and near Stanford University. In 1997, Philippine-born Diosdado "Dado" Banatao was honored with the prestigious "Master Entrepreneur of the Year" award sponsored by the Ernst & Young global accounting giant, Inc. magazine and Merrill Lynch. Every year, Banatao funds Filipino-American scholars studying engineering or science courses in top schools all over the US. He also funds a speci

Agence France-Presse First Posted 04:17:00 05/23/2009 Filed Under: Swine Flu , Health , Diseases , Epidemic and Plague , Pharmaceuticals GENEVA -- The World Health Organization said Friday it was hopeful that the pharmaceutical industry would be ready to produce an anti-swine flu vaccine by the end of June or early July. "We're hopeful that by the end of June by the beginning July this will be the time that commercial companies will be in a position of being able to make a vaccine," said interim Assistant Director General Keiji Fukuda. However, Fukuda said experts were still mulling whether to give the go ahead for production as this may reduce or halt the manufacture of vaccines for seasonal flu. "We will hold off on making this decision for a little while," he added. Production of up to 4.9 billion doses a year of a vaccine against the new influenza A(H1N1) virus would be possible, according to a forecast presented to vac

Schooling for kids is fun but on the first day they find it scary, confusing and sometimes traumatic. That’s only because they don’t have any idea what will happen to them in school. They have a lot of questions in mind such as Who will be their teachers?, Are their classmates friendly?, How many hours will they stay inside the classroom without their parents?, etc. So, it’s the elders’ duty to help these kids realize that schooling is really fun from the first day of classes to the end of the school year. Hence, I have some tips that hopefully can help parents and teachers. 1. Prepare their things for school together. Your children’s excitement will be doubled if you show them the things they will use in school and let your child organize their things inside their bags. 2. Share the good experiences you had in school. As you share your positive experiences when you were studying, children imagine themselves in the same situation that unexpectedly they want to happen in reality or

When we have visitors we prepare a lot for them; food, beddings, list of places where they will enjoy their stay, etc. This is only because as a host we want to impress them. Thus, we are giving them the best of the best. This situation is not so far from the teaching profession. As teachers we also want our pupils to receive the best education. Hence, administrators prepare seminars and workshops for the enhancement of teachers’ knowledge and invigorate the minds for the benefit of their clients: the young minds. A week before the formal opening of classes teachers in every school attend different seminars that lead them to better understanding of their roles and duties to cater the holistic formation of the children. So hand in hand, all the people working in an institution will be of great help in their own little ways to assist both parents and children towards edification. The main role of educators is to groom the youngster to real world with enough knowledge to understand

After Recognition and Gradation days, parents are facing another year of schooling for their youngsters. For those who have 2nd - 6th graders, it’s very easy to enroll their children since they know already what to do…not mentioning the atmosphere that is so familiar to them and the comradeship they have built for the past years. If they’ll be attending the same school, they would simply bring their report cards and cash with them and alas! They’re enrolled. So easy isn’t it? But for new students as well as transferees, it’s a bit different and uhmmm longer. First, they have to present the requirements being asked by the registrar such as: 1. *original (for verification) and photocopy of child’s Birth Certificate 2. *1x1 identical recent colored pictures 3. photocopy of F-138 showing the latest grades certified by the Principal 4. certificate of Good Moral Character 5. accomplished Recommendation Form 6. **Alien Certification of Registration or Special Study Permit Pay for the tes

Let's face it -- English is a crazy language! There's no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese? One index, two indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through the annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn&#

I don’t have pupils without their parents especially their mothers who unconditionally love these children. For all the mommies who support their children to gain knowledge from school and help develop their talents, these short messages are dedicated to you: A mom is God’s love in action She looks with her heart, And feels with her eyes. A mom is the bank Where her children deposit All their worries and hurt. A mom is the cement That keeps her family together And her love lasts a lifetime. Great mothers smile in trouble, gather strength from stress, and grow brave by reflection and prayers. Motherhood is a tough 24-hour job: No pay, no day-off Most often unappreciated And yet resignation is impossible. Your existence gives hope to one person. Your smile maybe a pearl for someone. Your presence might be the desire of the one who loves you. Blessings are plenty for people like you who live with love, kindness and thoughtfulness…

Many educators became interested in a wave of new education theories that offered new insights into the way students learn and retain knowledge. Some of these theories, including constructivism and multiple intelligence theory, continue to grow in popularity today. Yet the application of these new theories have not always gone so smoothly: as we shall later see in the debates over whole language and whole math, the enthusiastic rush to apply new theory into practice has not always met with the best results. Professionals, schools and teachers are asserting more control over education management decisions. Non-profit charter schools and for-profit education management organizations offer students public school learning environments that break away from the traditional state-run system. Through school choice, parents can choose to take their students out of poorly run schools and place them into other institutions - including parochial schools in some cases. And an increasing number of f
