MALACAANG Manila PRESIDENTIAL DECREE No.

839 December 11, 1975 PLACING THE PROFESSIONAL REGULATION COMMISSION UNDER THE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERVISION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION WHEREAS, it is desirable to rid the Presidency of the supervision of extraneous agencies in order to allow the President to concentrate on policy formulation and executive decision-making; and WHEREAS, it would be well to secure an effective linkage between the regulation of professions and the Civil Service Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order and decree that the Professional Regulation Commission be transferred from the Office of the President and placed under the administrative supervision of the Civil Service Commission. This Decree shall take effect immediately. Done in the City of Manila, this 11th day of December, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-five. REPUBLIC ACT No. 3846 AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION OF RADIO STATIONS AND RADIO COMMUNICATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES Dictaphone was an American company, a producer of dictation machinessound recording devices most commonly used to record speech for later playback or to be typed into print. The name "Dictaphone" is a trademark, but in some places it has also become a common way to refer to all such devices, and is used as a genericized trademark. At present, Dictaphone is a division of Boston-based Nuance Communications. A walkie-talkie (more formally known as a handheld transceiver) is a hand-held, portable, two-way radio transceiver. Its development during the Second World War has been variously credited to Donald L. Hings, radio engineer Alfred J. Gross, and engineering teams at Motorola. Similar designs were created for other armed forces, and after the war, walkie-talkies spread to public safety and eventually commercial and jobsite work. Major characteristics include a halfduplex channel (only one radio transmits at a time, though any number can listen) and a "pushto-talk" (PTT) switch that starts transmission. Typical walkie-talkies resemble a telephone handset, possibly slightly larger but still a single unit, with an antenna sticking out of the top. Where a phone's earpiece is only loud enough to be heard by the user, a walkie-talkie's built-in speaker can be heard by the user and those in the user's immediate vicinity. Hand-held

transceivers may be used to communicate between each other, or to vehicle-mounted or base stations. ump to: navigation, search An extension telephone is an additional telephone wired to the same telephone line as another. In middle 20th century telephone jargon, the first telephone on a line was a "Main Station" and subsequent ones "Extensions". Such extension phones allow making or receiving calls in different rooms, for example in a home. Some telephones intended for use as extensions have built in intercom features. A telephone extension is an internal telephone line attached to a Private branch exchange (PBX) or Centrex system. The PBX operates much as a community switchboard does for a geographic telephone numbering plan and allows multiple lines inside the office to connect without each phone requiring a separate outside line. In these systems, a dialer usually has to dial a number (typically 9 in North America, 0 in Europe) to tell the PBX to connect with a landline (also called DDCO, or Direct Dial Central Office) to dial an external number. Within the PBX, the user merely dials the extension number of the person. Each phone line may be extended up to a fixed maximum. The Human Security Act of 2007 (RA 9372) is a Philippine law that took effect on February 8, 2007.[1] It is aimed at tackling militants in the southern Philippines.[2] The law makes terrorism a crime and allows authorities to arrest terror suspects without warrants and temporarily detain them without charges.[3] Under the law, detained terrorists are entitled to see a lawyer, a priest, a doctor, or family members.
