The human sex chromosomes are of the XX-XY pattern. The Y chromosome is much smaller
than the X chromosome. Two types of sperm cells are formed during gametogenesis; half of
these have the X chromosome and the others have the Y chromosome. Every egg cell has an X
chromosome; therefore, fertilization determines the sex. If a Y sperm cell fertilizes the egg, a
male develops.

Until the 1960s, people in the United States did not particularly pay attention to the natural
environment. Rather, Americans were more focused on the economy. However, with an
increase in oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, and the loss of wilderness, suddenly
people realizes they shared common values. They called for a national organization to protect
the environment. Accordingly, on April 22, 1970, the first Earth DAY, 20 MILLION Americans
took to the streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable
environment. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the
deterioration of the environment.
The first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. President
Richard Nixon and Congress worked together to established the EPA in response to the
growing public demand for cleaner water, air and land. Prior to the establishment of the EPA,
the national government was not structured to make coordinated attack on the pollutants, which
harm human health and degrade the environment. The EPA was assigned the daunting task of
repairing the damage already done to the natural environment.
Why does the author mention the first Earth Day in paragraph 2?
-to illustrate how this event resulted in an important organization

PASSAGE: Study : Teenage brain lacks empathy By Sara Goudarzi If you ever sense
teenagers are not taking your feelings into account, it's probably because they're just incapable
of doing so. The area of the brain associated with higher-level thinking, empathy, and guilt is
underused by teenagers, reports a new study. When considering an action, the teenage medial
prefrontal cortex, located in front of the brain, doesn't get as much action as adults. "Thinking
strategies change with age," said Sarah Jayne Blakemore of the University College London
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. "As you get older you use more or less the same brain
network to make decisions about your actions as you did when you were a teenager, but the
crucial difference is that the distribution of that brain activity shifts from the back of the brain
(when you are a teenager) to the front (when you are an adult)." Teen thinking In the study,
teens and adults were asked how they would react to certain situations. As they responded,
researchers imaged their brains. Although both adults and teens responded similarly to the
questions, their brain activity differed. The medial prefrontal cortex was much more active in the
adults than in the teens. However, the teenagers had much more activity in the superior
temporal sulcus, the brain area involved in predicting future actions based on previous ones.
Adults were also much faster at figuring out how their actions would affect themselves and other
people. "We think that a teenager's judgment of what they would do in a given situation is driven
by the simple question: 'What would I do?'" Blakemore said. "Adults, on the other hand, ask:
'What would I do, given how I would feel and given how the people around me would feel as a
result of my actions?'" Developing sensitivity Children start taking into account other people's
feelings around the age of five. But the ability develops well beyond this age, the new research
suggests. And while some of this sensitivity could be the result of undeveloped regions in the
brain, the experience that adults acquire from social interactions also plays an important role.
My purpose in reading this: Reading Strategy I will use: 12 "Whatever the reasons, it is clear
that teenagers are dealing with, not only massive hormonal shifts, but also substantial neural
changes," Blakemore said. "These changes do not happen gradually and steadily between the
ages of 0–18. They come on in great spurts and puberty is one of the most dramatic
developmental stages." The results of the study were presented today at the BA Festival of
Science in the UK.

Origins of the English Language
1) In starting our study of the English language, we must know something about its beginnings
or origins. The English language has its beginnings in many other languages that go far back
into ancient times.
2) We must start our study as far back as the invasion of two German tribes, the Angles and the
Saxons, into Great Britain. This invasion occurred about four hundred years after the birth of
Christ. These barbaric tribes overran the island of Great Britain and introduced a new way of
life. They also introduced new words into the language that later became the English we speak
and write today. From their Germanic gods, for example, come the days of the week: Tui, the
god of war (Tuesday); Woden, father of the gods (Wednesday); Thor, god of Thunder
(Thursday).
3) Then we must comprehend or understand how the invasion of the Normans into Great
Britain- known as the land of the Angles, or England – also changed our mother tongue. The
Normans were from France. In 1066 they conquered the Angles and the Saxons and made
them slaves. The old English spoken by the Angles and Saxons survived; however, some
French words were added. These new words helped to make our language richer. From these
early Frenchmen, for example, the word porc means “pig”. Today, we use the word pork,
however, only when we speak of the flesh of a pig. This is because the early French Normans,
as the masters of England, saw the animal only when it was cooked and served to them on the
dinner table. The Angle and Saxon slaves, however, who tended the animal while it was alive,
called it pig. So even now the flesh of this particular animal when eaten is pork, but the animal
itself is known as a pig.
4) And, in turn, we must understand or comprehend how the French language brought to
England by the Norman conquerors had its roots in the ancient languages of Greece and Rome.
Many of the words borrowed from the Normans at this time, for example showed the
relationship of a ruling class to its subjects. Most of these words can be traced all the way back
to Latin. The word conqueror itself comes from the old French word conquerre which, in turn,
comes from the Latin word conquarere, which simply means “to win”.
5) Only by a brief study of these chronological events and their influences can we comprehend
why the English language we speak today is so rich in meaning.

Origins of the English Language


1) In starting our study of the English language, we must know something about its beginnings
or origins. The English language has its beginnings in many other languages that go far back
into ancient times.
2) We must start our study as far back as the invasion of two German tribes, the Angles and the
Saxons, into Great Britain. This invasion occurred about four hundred years after the birth of
Christ. These barbaric tribes overran the island of Great Britain and introduced a new way of
life. They also introduced new words into the language that later became the English we speak
and write today. From their Germanic gods, for example, come the days of the week: Tui, the
god of war (Tuesday); Woden, father of the gods (Wednesday); Thor, god of Thunder
(Thursday).
3) Then we must comprehend or understand how the invasion of the Normans into Great
Britain- known as the land of the Angles, or England – also changed our mother tongue. The
Normans were from France. In 1066 they conquered the Angles and the Saxons and made
them slaves. The old English spoken by the Angles and Saxons survived; however, some
French words were added. These new words helped to make our language richer. From these
early Frenchmen, for example, the word porc means “pig”. Today, we use the word pork,
however, only when we speak of the flesh of a pig. This is because the early French Normans,
as the masters of England, saw the animal only when it was cooked and served to them on the
dinner table. The Angle and Saxon slaves, however, who tended the animal while it was alive,
called it pig. So even now the flesh of this particular animal when eaten is pork, but the animal
itself is known as a pig.
4) And, in turn, we must understand or comprehend how the French language brought to
England by the Norman conquerors had its roots in the ancient languages of Greece and Rome.
Many of the words borrowed from the Normans at this time, for example showed the
relationship of a ruling class to its subjects. Most of these words can be traced all the way back
to Latin. The word conqueror itself comes from the old French word conquerre which, in turn,
comes from the Latin word conquarere, which simply means “to win”.
5) Only by a brief study of these chronological events and their influences can we comprehend
why the English language we speak today is so rich in meaning.

Study reveals internet can ruin family relationships

Can the Internet be a source of conflicts? A new study from online security
firm says yes, and it does not just affect intimate relationships but family
relationships as well.

Previous researches have revealed that children on average spend six


hours or more glued to the screens of their devices.

Kaspersky Lab and iconKids & Youth researchers surveyed over 3,700
families in seven countries to know about how the internet is affecting their
personal relationship with their children.

One in four of the parents surveyed say that their kids now prefer to go
online rather than talk to them, with one in three parents believing the
internet isolates them from their children. All in all, a fifth of parents and
children say that the internet can cause family tension.
"It is only natural that using—and misusing—each other’s connected
devices can become a cause of conflict for families. However, as we spend
more and more time online, family dynamics are also changing. It is
important that families maintain an ongoing dialogue about how to spot and
respond to potential dangers, with parents and children together agreeing
on the basic rules on how they can best navigate the digital world,” said
Andrei Mochola, head of consumer business at Kaspersky Lab.

The survey also reveals that the problem may be worsened in the following
cases:

If the device used by both parents and children gets broken,

If the device is accidentally infected by a virus while online,

If the parents had to pay for something their child had ordered or
downloaded, and

If the parents had accidentally deleted some of their children's data

Janice Richardson, senior advisor at European Schoolnet, said that


although the internet becomes a source of conflict in some families, siblings
and extended family members take on a much bigger role in children's
online activities.

"Children are instinctively turning to the person they perceive to be able to


fix technical issues, advise on sites and security tools and provide more
objective responses to delicate queries,” Richardson said, citing a recent
study by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission.

She said that given the emerging trend, the importance of parents and
guardians developing their own technical competence and building trusting
relationship with their kids grow.

"At the same time, software and social media providers, too, should seek to
develop more ‘family-friendly’ tools,” Richardson added. — Alixandra Caole

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child book review: How the script compares to
the Palace Theatre production

by Jack Shepherd (published in Independent)

For every HarryPotter fan, the release of The Cursed Child is a dream
come true. Who thought an eighth part to the Boy-Who-Lived’s story would
actually materialise so soon after the main series finished? However, it
quickly transpired this was going to be no normal book release.

JK Rowling chose to release The Cursed Child as a play, one ‘tailor made
for the stage’ as noted inThe Independent’s five-star review of the Palace
Theatre production. Critics, including myself, were blown away by the
magical performance, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany helping Rowling
create something of immense wonder.

So, how does the script, released to the public in book form, compare to
the theatre production? Is the magic still there? Already, fans have
devoured the story, taking it apart bit by bit, uncovering inconsistencies in
the story telling, particularly regarding a certain time-turner paradox. Could
it have ever lived up to expectations?

Unfortunately, as fantastic as the production was, racing through the script


was never going to compare. Where stage theatrics sparked imaginations,
now there are brief lines quickly explaining huge set-ups; everyone knew
the script couldn’t compete with the stage production, begging the question,
should this have ever been released in this format?

An example of the script being unmeasurable against the production comes


in act one, scene four. It starts with the explanation: “And now we enter a
world of time changing. And this Scene is all about magic.” In these few
pages our hero, Albus Severus Potter, goes from being sorted into a
Hogwarts house in his first year to rushing onto the Express in his third.
Along the way, we’re treated to a brief Quidditch lesson, Great Hall
assembly, and a Potions lesson, but they’re all so brief we hardly get a
flavour of what is actually happening.

On stage, it was one of the play’s greatest scenes; fast pace but with vivid
imagery. If The Cursed Child was perhaps written as a book this could
have been built on but, in these pages, we barely get a taste of these
formative years. It’s so quick, so little is said, readers will race through,
given little direction as what is happening.

Another example comes when the new generation of wizards drink a


Polyjuice Potion. In previous books and on stage, it was utterly hilarious as
Rowling’s heroes transformed, yet, as a script, the scene passes by rapidly,
the humour and magic lost.
Of course, this is the problem with releasing The Cursed Child as a script,
and one we must all be resolute with. For those who are unable to see the
stage play, there’s still a lot to enjoy in the script. Scorpius Malfoy, son of
Draco Malfoy, is the highlight of the script, funny throughout. Meanwhile,
the titular hero, Harry Potter, has evolved into a slightly grumpy father and
one who lacks some basic parenting skills. It’s a natural progression for an
orphan thrown into the spotlight that is interesting and will no doubt anger
some fans.

Without giving too much, the first half is quite innocent, while the second
takes a dark turn thanks to a time-twisting plot that - when read at a
reasonable pace - can be quite confusing, at times reading like fan-fiction,
particularly when cameo when cameo after cameo rolls in.

If you do have the luxury of being able to attend the Palace Theatre
production, I highly recommend it. If you’re unable to do so, perhaps wait
until the inevitable three-part film series comes.

WoundClot: The Science Behind Faster Healing


by UP Materials Science Society

It's Wisdom Wednesday!

Do you know what WoundClot does?

The WoundClot Gauze, is a single use, sterile, and bioabsorbable medical


device that is fabricated to suit a variety of wounds. It is made from
cellulose with a molecular structure designed to entrap platelets and
coagulants in a modified physical molecular matrix, specifically designed to
create this hemodynamic polymer membrane, with high adherence and
resilience, able to withhold massive blood pressure and restrict blood flow
almost immediately.

The ability to adhere to a bleeding wound reduces the amount of pressure


needed in order to stop bleeding, thus preventing unnecessary damage the
body caused by excessive pressure, or infection caused by prolonged
contact with the wound. Next, platelets from the injury attach to the gauze
by inter-molecular forces to form a stable membrane, which is able to
withstand severe arterial and venous blood flow for hours.

At the same time, specifically designed molecular functional groups


transform to enhance and activate the natural coagulation process.
Coagulation is a complex chain reaction, where different elements are
motivated into action, conditioned from other reactions.

Specific molecular groups, created in the manufacturing process, are then


dispersed during gel formation to activate various coagulation factors in the
blood, thus helping to form a physiologically natural fibrin clot in the wound.
The ability to influence these reactions speeds the whole coagulation
process.

After bleeding has stopped, the remaining residual membrane can be


irrigated out of the wound safely without pulling on soft tissue or the
existing clot. WoundClot is designed to maintain its integrity through
polymeric chains, specifically designed to interact with water molecules to
form a physical cross linked network, which is manageable and natural.

The Decay of Friendship

from The Idler, Number 23, September 23, 1758

by Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)


Life has no pleasure higher or nobler than that of friendship. It is painful to
consider that this sublime enjoyment may be impaired or destroyed by
innumerable causes, and that there is no human possession of which the
duration is less certain.

Many have talked in very exalted language, of the perpetuity of friendship,


of invincible constancy, and unalienable kindness; and some examples
have been seen of men who have continued faithful to their earliest choice,
and whose affection has predominated over changes of fortune, and
contrariety of opinion.

But these instances are memorable, because they are rare. The friendship
which is to be practiced or expected by common mortals, must take its rise
from mutual pleasure, and must end when the power ceases of delighting
each other.

Many accidents therefore may happen by which the ardor of kindness will
be abated, without criminal baseness or contemptible inconstancy on either
part. To give pleasure is not always in our power; and little does he know
himself who believes that he can be always able to receive it.

Those who would gladly pass their days together may be separated by the
different course of their affairs; and friendship, like love, is destroyed by
long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions. What we
have missed long enough to want it, we value more when it is regained; but
that which has been lost till it is forgotten, will be found at last with little
gladness, and with still less if a substitute has supplied the place. A man
deprived of the companion to whom he used to open his bosom, and with
whom he shared the hours of leisure and merriment, feels the day at first
hanging heavy on him; his difficulties oppress, and his doubts distract him;
he sees time come and go without his wonted gratification, and all is
sadness within, and solitude about him. But this uneasiness never lasts
long; necessity produces expedients, new amusements are discovered,
and new conversation is admitted.
No expectation is more frequently disappointed, than that which naturally
arises in the mind from the prospect of meeting an old friend after long
separation. We expect the attraction to be revived, and the coalition to be
renewed; no man considers how much alteration time has made in himself,
and very few inquire what effect it has had upon others. The first hour
convinces them that the pleasure which they have formerly enjoyed, is
forever at an end; different scenes have made different impressions; the
opinions of both are changed; and that similitude of manners and sentiment
is lost which confirmed them both in the approbation of themselves.

Friendship is often destroyed by opposition of interest, not only by the


ponderous and visible interest which the desire of wealth and greatness
forms and maintains, but by a thousand secret and slight competitions,
scarcely known to the mind upon which they operate. There is scarcely any
man without some favorite trifle which he values above greater attainments,
some desire of petty praise which he cannot patiently suffer to be
frustrated. This minute ambition is sometimes crossed before it is known,
and sometimes defeated by wanton petulance; but such attacks are seldom
made without the loss of friendship; for whoever has once found the
vulnerable part will always be feared, and the resentment will burn on in
secret, of which shame hinders the discovery.

This, however, is a slow malignity, which a wise man will obviate as


inconsistent with quiet, and a good man will repress as contrary to virtue;
but human happiness is sometimes violated by some more sudden strokes.

A dispute begun in jest upon a subject which a moment before was on both
parts regarded with careless indifference, is continued by the desire of
conquest, till vanity kindles into rage, and opposition rankles into enmity.
Against this hasty mischief, I know not what security can be obtained; men
will be sometimes surprised into quarrels; and though they might both
haste into reconciliation, as soon as their tumult had subsided, yet two
minds will seldom be found together, which can at once subdue their
discontent, or immediately enjoy the sweets of peace without remembering
the wounds of the conflict.
Friendship has other enemies. Suspicion is always hardening the cautious,
and disgust repelling the delicate. Very slender differences will sometimes
part those whom long reciprocation of civility or beneficence has united.
Lonelove and Ranger retired into the country to enjoy the company of each
other, and returned in six weeks, cold and petulant; Ranger's pleasure was
to walk in the fields, and Lonelove's to sit in a bower; each had complied
with the other in his turn, and each was angry that compliance had been
exacted.

The most fatal disease of friendship is gradual decay, or dislike hourly


increased by causes too slender for complaint, and too numerous for
removal. Those who are angry may be reconciled; those who have been
injured may receive a recompense: but when the desire of pleasing and
willingness to be pleased is silently diminished, the renovation of friendship
is hopeless; as, when the vital powers sink into languor, there is no longer
any use of the physician.

21st Century Philippine Writing

by Danton Remoto (May 30, 2015)


Philippine writing in the 21st century has taken a new turn. The works are
seen as sensitive to gender, alludes to technology, show culture as plural
rather than singular, and questions conventions and supposedly absolute
norms.

Writing by women continues to flourish. They have a feminist stance that


questions the centrality of the patriarchy (male-centered viewpoints).
Forbidden Fruit: Women Write the Erotic edited by Tina Cuyugan and Kung
Ibig Mo, love poems edited by Joi Barrios show that a woman’s map of
dreams and desires is better drawn by a woman writer herself. Gone were
the days when female characters only came from the imagination – or
fantasy – of men.

Lesbian and gay writing continue to be written. Neil Garcia and I have just
published The Best of Ladlad. My other books include Bright, Catholic –
and Gay: Essays and Rampa: Mga Sanaysay, while coming soon is a book
of stories and essays called Happy Na, Gay, Pa.

Technology is also an important part of this literature, centered on the rise


of the city and anchored on globalization. The economic boom, albeit
benefiting only the elite, has led to the opening of the Philippines to diverse
economic interests. Writings on Filipinos abroad and of Filipinos abroad
also add to this more cosmopolitan, if not more consumerist, attitude of the
21st-century Filipino.

Moreover, writings from the regions have served notice that “imperial
Manila” is no longer the only fountain of ideas. We have to thank Ateneo de
Naga Publishing House, National Commission on Culture and the Arts, UP
Press, and University of San Agustin Publishing House, among others. The
Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards in Literature has opened its
magisterial doors to writing from the regions. Ateneo de Manila University
Press and UST Publishing House are both in fine form, publishing
important works from Katipunan and Espana.

Nowadays, writers are no longer made to feel guilty if they write in English.
In true subversive fashion, they now write not just in English or Filipino but
in both languages. Some books show poems printed enface: one side in
English, the other in Filipino. The twains have met, and you can no longer
detect which is written first, and which is the translation, for there is equal
facility and fluency in both. This recalls the verbal legerdemain of our ladino
poets in the 17th century.

Moreover, Marjorie Evasco has been translating her poems in English into
Cebuano, J. Iremil Teodoro writes lyrical stories in Kinaray-a and translates
them into English, Peter Nery slides from English to Hiligaynon in his erotic
poems, Kristian Cordero and Victor Nierva write works in Bicolano and in
the next breath, translate them into elegant English. Surely, the vessels
that contain Philippine literature are no longer one, or two, or even three,
but as many as the different languages in our archipelago.

What about the English being written? Trinidad Tarrosa Subido coined the
phrase “language if [our] blood.” Dr. Gemino H. Abad has used it as
framework in his three anthologies on Philippine poetry in English. He said
that we have colonized English and have made it our own, and the poems
are now “wrought from English.”

It is no longer the very proper English from the old textbooks, or the
Americanese in books copyrighted in New York. It is now a language
filtered by our regional languages and by mass media – printed, seen,
broadcast – as well as shaped by social media, by the fragmentation of text
language, by sound bites, anime, graphic novels, and cosplays (costume
plays).

In 1995, the Philippine Studies journal of Ateneo de Manila University


published New Philippine Writing,which was edited by Professor Emmanuel
Torres and I. Prof. Torres said: “An alternative poetics is at work. . . . Form
is more open-ended than closed, looser, more improvisatory; the tone
conversational, informal. And no one seems to think twice about making
explicit statements in the name of personal passion or liberation. Despite
the rise of ‘cause-oriented’ writing, formal matters of craft in no way seem
endangered, thanks to the influence of writing workshops in leading
universities.”
Prof. Torres continues: “The popularity of poetry readings [and now open
mike readings even by non-poets, for good or for bad] on campuses and in
writer-friendly coffeehouses is partly the reason for the current taste for the
laid-back and discursive. Apparently being revived is the tradition of the
poet as bard, one communally interactive and inclined to addressing the
sound-world of a poem to a roomful of listeners rather than one crafting
lines intended solely for the book page and the solitary reader. . . .”

Thus, we no longer find a poem about a poem; or a poem with Greek or


Roman allusions; or a story set in Greenwich Village. There is now a
certain historicity; allusions to Philippine myth and fable, lore and legend;
astringent satires of popular culture and political foibles. Anglo-American
writers are still being read, but now they are hyphenated and seem like
dispatches from the global village. Works, in translation, of African, Asian,
and Latin American writers are being devoured. There is the shock of
recognition in reading about postcolonial experiences similar to ours, and
fears and dreams coming from the same socio-political conditions.

The internet has also made the Filipino writer less insular or old-fashioned.
Bob Ong started a blog, “Bobong Pinoy” and parlayed it into bestselling
books. Other blogs have become popular books and even box-office-hit
movies, i.e., Ang Diary ng Panget. Celebrities are now supposedly writing,
while radio anchors are turning their zany scripts into books. Senator
Miriam Defensor Santiago’s book, Stupid isForever, is the doyenne of them
all: it has been the bestselling book since December.

Pimply teenagers can upload their stories in Wattpad, watch them viewed
15 million times, and now get contracts for a TV series or a romance film.
Ghost stories are selling, and so do children’s books and graphic novels.
Young-adult novels are being written, for a generation on the run (or eyes
glued to their gadgets). I have done a controversial – and bestselling –
translation of Greene’s The Fault in Our Starsand Anvil will publish my
translation of Marivi Soliven’s novel, The Mango Bride.

The Filipino public has begun to read – and we are all the better for it.

How they make pancakes in Osaka

by Elfren S. Cruz (August 4, 2016)

A marriage of a pancake and an omelet is a beautiful thing — two breakfast


favorites grilled to juiciness and served piping hot.

In Japan, they call this delicious hybrid okonomiyaki, the “scrambled”


version of which originated from Osaka. It is prepared like a pancake and
served with okonomiyaki sauce, seaweed flakes, bonito flakes, Japanese
mayo, and pickled ginger.

One of the original okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka, Chibo Okonomiyaki,


is now in Manila at S Maison in the newly opened Conrad Hotel.
Okonomiyaki shops abound in Osaka, but Chibo is one of the oldest, dating
back to 1973. They pride themselves on delivering the same original
okonomiyaki taste consistently across all its branches around the world.
Even visitors from Japan looking for something to eat that reminds them of
home say that Chibo Okonomiyaki in Manila is up to their standards.

Imagine this: you are in a room (they call it the Presidential Room),
engulfed in smoke while you watch the Chibo chef chop, toss, whisk, and
press an okonomiyaki into shape, carefully creating a nice, thin crust. It
resists your bite but the center — composed of anything you like, anything
at all, because Chibo Okonomiyaki has a variant for all tastes — melts in
your mouth.
Chef Akihiro, who is from Osaka and therefore versed in the art of creating
these savory pancakes, creates several different dishes for us, while Kenji
Komuro and David Guevarra, operations manager, share the dish’s origins
and how they create the same okonomiyaki flavor in Manila. They bring
most ingredients from Japan, while some they create. The batter and the
sauce are key and must be consistent. As for what’s inside the pancake,
their menu has more choices than you can handle.

Chef served us a really complex-looking one, topped with unsweetened


meringue and a flattened crab crown — the Shirayukihime or “Snow White
Princess,” an extra-soft okonomiyaki with prawn, bacon, pork, tomato,
avocado and cheese. Kenji says it’s so pretty some guests like to order it
during birthdays, in lieu of cake. Well, happy birthday to me. It’s delicious.

Should We Pay?

Many issues have been plaguing the sports world recently, especially the
question of paying college athletes. Are athletics so important that colleges
need to put out millions of dollars per year just to pay for students to play
for them? Paying college athletes is like throwing a lit match into a
haystack: once the fire is started, it just keeps burning, making a bad
situation worse.

There are several differences between the haystack and paying athletes.
To start,

throwing a needle in a haystack is a totally negative concept; everything will


burn. However, with paying college athletes, some people can find reasons
why this could be a positive thing. For instance, some believe paying
athletes will bring more competition to the table and make some colleges
much more prestigious than others. Others say this will bring in more
money and more revenue. A second difference is the end of the situation.
At the end of the fire, there is smoke and it will eventually put itself out.
However, this is an issue that cannot extinguish itself. No matter what the
verdict, someone is going to be unhappy and the "fire" will keep burning.

Despite these differences there are many similarities between the two. One
similarity is the haystack going up in flames and the whole educational
system going up. If we pay our college athletes the focus will be more on
the money than on learning.

College is supposed to prepare a student for life's work through learning,


not be life's work. College sports will also become more like professional
sports- all about the money and less about the love of the sport. Related to
this is the issue of scholarships. Are scholarships not enough pay for the
student? And who decides how much money each player receives? Will it
depend on how good the player is, what sport they play, what position they
are?

Another similarity has to deal with going up in flames. By throwing one little
lit match into that haystack, the whole thing goes up. Just by paying college
athletes many other issues arise. Yes, paying athletes may bring in more
revenue, but how much of that will actually go back to the college or
institution? Another issue that comes up is the fairness to other students.
Young athletes already receive many things that non- athletes do not. Not
only do they have the opportunity to travel and stay overnight in the best
hotels, they also get special treatments away from the sport. Some athletes
may receive special attention from certain professors or even people
throughout the town in which the college is located.

A third similarity between the burning haystack and paying athletes is the
rate at which things will "burn". The haystack will burn fast, leaving nothing
behind, and getting bigger and bigger as it goes. The same goes for this
issue. Everyone wants to voice their own opinion about it, snowballing into
a bigger and bigger issue. People will quickly become angry and quick to
defend their side.

Paying college athletes is like throwing a lit match into a haystack: the
educational system and other issues go up in flames and they will occur
very quickly. I believe there are more problems with this idea than there are
good things about it. I find nothing about it to be worth spending millions of
dollars to pay students to play a game. They need to be worrying more
about their studies. This issue will be burning for a long time.

What happens when a Youtube star writes a book

by Bong Osorio

Since the dawn of the Web and its many versions, numerous Internet
sensations have come and gone, but only a few have sustained and
continue to increase their following. One of them is Felix Kjellberg,
popularly known by his Internet alias “PewDiePie.” He is a 20-something
Swede who has lingered as YouTube’s biggest star since 2013, garnering
over 40 million followers on his channel. This makes him the holder of the
Guinness Book of World Records title for generating the most number of
subscribers of all time. What’s more astounding about his fame is that his
videos have been viewed over 10 billion times but he remains strange and
nameless to most of his audience.

PewDiePie is a social media phenomenon whose popularity emanates from


his one-of-a-kind approach to his video productions, which usually start off
with a shrill declaration of his name before he slides into mocking, panicky
reactions to various games and activities. At the end, he thanks his “bros”
for tuning in. PewDiePie’s fans have multiplied swiftly and become more
pervasive because instant communication facilitates increased word of
mouth.

Following his social media success, PewDiePie ventured into book


publishing and came up with This Book Loves You, now a New York Times
bestseller that is poised to become an international sensation as well. The
tome is an extremely imaginative pictorial collection of direction and advice
manifested in gags and witticisms that lampoons Internet memes and
passages. As he declared, it is a “parody on self-help books” and is “full of
useful quotes.”

This Book Loves You serves up a lot of toilet humor and impassioned
communication. The heftiest improprieties, though, are masked by
intriguing visuals or cheeky figures, while still making the message quite
apparent. The images are caricatures, executed mostly as cartoony
patchworks, and are funny bordering on the ridiculous. Hostility is not a
prevalent theme and the sexual content is manageable. The character of
the opinions listed is ironic and satiric and projects the persona of the
author and the tonality of the message he wants to convey.

What's the narrative?

The book — jokingly or seriously — was a byproduct of the author’s


discovery of his “great wisdom,” or so it seems. He claims that he needs to
share it with a world that desperately needs to read it. His exasperation
with the invariable quotes and memes cluttering social media pushed him
to put together this “first-rate, highly flavored, and optimistic” book.

A fan pic on Twitter inspired him to counter those bothersome memes with
his own take. “I turn these one-liners and quotes upside down by adding
acerbic, smart-alecky, tongue-in-cheek punch lines and colorful, witty and
sometimes irreverent visual supports,” says PewDiePie.

Millennials will surely get some laughs out of this paperback, which
appears superficial and thoughtless on the surface but holds a certain
charm for a specific audience. But knowing that millennials now number in
the millions, who needs breadth and depth? Certainly not PewDiePie.
This Book Loves You provides a window into the wacky mind of one of
YouTube’s best entertainers. Here are samples:

• “My favorite quote? It’s like being asked what my favorite child is. I don’t
have a child.”

• “Money can’t buy you happiness; but it buys you all the things you don’t
have, even friends. I feel sorry for poor people.”

• “Don’t be afraid to say how you feel, because no one is going to care
anyway.”

• “If you can fight your way out of a situation, don’t. You’ll die.”

• “To fly, you must get rid of the things that weigh you down. This is why all
your friends left you.”

• “Don’t sugarcoat everything… you’ll get diabetes.”

• “Impossible is nothing. Doing nothing is easy. So do nothing!”

• “You can’t watch YouTube in prison, so don’t kill anyone.”

• “Running out of money doesn’t count as exercise.”

• “Running away from problems won’t make you skinny.”

• “You can never fail if you never try. So why bother.”

• “You’re not bad, everyone else is just so much better.”

• “You can’t make everyone happy. So focus on making yourself happy so


that maybe one day your happiness will evolve and eat everyone.”

• “Don’t listen to haters. Live your life the way you want to live it.”

• “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Unless you don’t have
any friends, then just sit in a corner and cry.”

• “Don’t worry about your problems. If you end up dead tomorrow, they’ll all
be gone.”
• “Every second you’re closer to oblivion. No quote in the world is going to
change that.”

• “If you can’t beat them, there’s still a good chance to annoy them.”

• “Change your life today, for the worse!”

• “Quotes are the most important thing in the universe, and you should
always take them to heart.”

If you’re dedicated PewDiePie fan you might just love him enough to buy
the book out of support for the phenomenon and his unusual, confusing
and unique approach to book writing. But expecting anything beyond a
momentary laugh might be asking too much.

Federalism and Democracy

by Elfren S. Cruz (August 4, 2016)

Federalism is a form of government where there is a division of powers


between the national government and the regional governments.
Federalism is said to be particularly suited to democracies especially those
with very large populations or large geographical territories.

It has also been noted that real federalism can exist only in a democracy.
This is because an authoritarian government will always insist on
centralizing powers through a unitary form of government. The second
reason is that the separation of powers must be rooted in constitutionalism
and the rule of law.

All organizations, whether in business or government, reach a certain point


at which there must be a decentralization of powers if it wants to be more
efficient. In a businesss organization, this decentralization comes in the
form of creating regional offices and appointing regional heads. In a
democracy, powers must be delegated to an elected body if there is to be
credibility and popular support from the people. Here is how George
Anderson of the Forum of Federations explains it:

“The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were not true


federations during the period of Communist rule, even though they had
federal constitutions. All real powers were centralized in the Communist
Party.

The situation was more complex in Latin America. Brazil and Argentina had
periods of military rule at the center, but sometimes allowed relatively free
elections within their states or provinces – particularly during military rule; in
Brazil, the states developed a key role in designing a constitution to end
[military] rule. In Mexico, the Institutional Revolutionary Party [PRI] largely
controlled elections for many years but over time its grip loosened,
particularly in certain states.

Nigeria and Pakistan have had similar experiences of intermittent military


rule and federal democracy. Thus, some undemocratic federations are
clearly for show, but in others their federal structure might have some
reality. Moreover, in all these countries, federal constitutional arrangements
came to have real significance during the transition to democracy as
previously subservient units were empowered . In the formerly communist
countries, the federal structure played a role in their break up.”

Federalism and Constitution

A truly effective federal system must be based on a written constitution and


the rule of law. The constitution must clearly define the distribution of
powers between the national government and the regional government.

However, another component in the constitution must be the method for


resolving conflicts over the legal powers of the national and the regional
governments. A citizen cannot obey two contradictory laws. Normally, the
legal conflicts can arise in the following ways:
• When there is a conflict between the laws of the national government and
the regional governments, the central government’s laws are considered
paramount. The only exceptions are those specifically provided by the
constitution.

• Sometimes the national government and the regional government may


pass laws that are in conflict. However, both sides may claim that their laws
is derive from their powers. For example, the national government may
have powers over internal trade but the regional government has powers
over property. They may pass conflicting laws over these two areas. In
such a case resolving the conflict requires determining which power –
internal trade or property – is more relevant. The constitution must provide
a method for interpreting relevant laws.

• There can also be times that there are no conflicts but a government or
private party may object to law passed by another government on the
grounds that the law goes beyond its powers.

• Sometimes, there are objections to a law on the grounds that it goes


against a constitutionally established right.

A federal form of government requires a very strong and autonomous


federal judiciary. In almost all federal states, the judiciary – especially the
Supreme Court – has the ultimate authority for resolving constitutional
disputes.

In the United States, the appointment of Supreme Court Justices is a highly


politicized and debated issue but no one questions the right of the Supreme
Court to be the final authority for deciding on constitutional issues. This is
again another reason why federalism can succeed only in a democracy
where the rule of law prevails and is accepted by all authorities – national
and regional.

It is true that federalism cannot guarantee good governance any more than
a unitary form of government. But the increase in worldwide attention to
federalism is being driven by the spread of democracies and the increase
in population in many developing countries. These two factors are leading
to the demand for the devolution of powers to the areas outside the usual
centers of powers.

In the Philippines, Metro Manila has always been the center of power. The
electoral powers has always resided in the so called “ corridor” that
stretches from Pangasinan to Quezon. It is not a coincidence that the
economic power is also concentrated in this same corridor of power.

The devolution of power to the local government units is limited by the fact
that these LGUs are too small to have any real powers; and, must remain
dependent on the largesse of the central powers in Metro Manila.

The time has come to seriously consider how to allow the more equitable
distribution of economic and political power from the center to the regions.
We are not a small country. With a population of more than 100 million,
federalism is the more effective form of government. Why regional
governments? Political power cannot be devolved to an appointive body.
In a democracy, political power can only be devolved to an elected
government. This is the reason for federalism.

How they make pancakes in Osaka

by Elfren S. Cruz (August 4, 2016)

A marriage of a pancake and an omelet is a beautiful thing — two breakfast


favorites grilled to juiciness and served piping hot.

In Japan, they call this delicious hybrid okonomiyaki, the “scrambled”


version of which originated from Osaka. It is prepared like a pancake and
served with okonomiyaki sauce, seaweed flakes, bonito flakes, Japanese
mayo, and pickled ginger.

One of the original okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka, Chibo Okonomiyaki,


is now in Manila at S Maison in the newly opened Conrad Hotel.
Okonomiyaki shops abound in Osaka, but Chibo is one of the oldest, dating
back to 1973. They pride themselves on delivering the same original
okonomiyaki taste consistently across all its branches around the world.
Even visitors from Japan looking for something to eat that reminds them of
home say that Chibo Okonomiyaki in Manila is up to their standards.

Imagine this: you are in a room (they call it the Presidential Room),
engulfed in smoke while you watch the Chibo chef chop, toss, whisk, and
press an okonomiyaki into shape, carefully creating a nice, thin crust. It
resists your bite but the center — composed of anything you like, anything
at all, because Chibo Okonomiyaki has a variant for all tastes — melts in
your mouth.

Chef Akihiro, who is from Osaka and therefore versed in the art of creating
these savory pancakes, creates several different dishes for us, while Kenji
Komuro and David Guevarra, operations manager, share the dish’s origins
and how they create the same okonomiyaki flavor in Manila. They bring
most ingredients from Japan, while some they create. The batter and the
sauce are key and must be consistent. As for what’s inside the pancake,
their menu has more choices than you can handle.

Chef served us a really complex-looking one, topped with unsweetened


meringue and a flattened crab crown — the Shirayukihime or “Snow White
Princess,” an extra-soft okonomiyaki with prawn, bacon, pork, tomato,
avocado and cheese. Kenji says it’s so pretty some guests like to order it
during birthdays, in lieu of cake. Well, happy birthday to me. It’s delicious.

Real Life Issues On Talk Shows


Most TV talk shows depict important life issues with real personal
stories. TV shows such as Montel and Maury have produced
hundreds of shows relating to teen violence, suicide, unsolved
murders of family members, AIDS and hate crimes. People affected
by these issues and more write to Montel and other talk shows about
their situations so they can share with others their experiences with
hope of helping someone else. I recently vieweda show on Montel
about an unsolved murder. One of the guests spoke about the worst
day of her life, the day her financee' was shot and killed while at work
by a random gunman and how it affected her life. Many people in the
U.S. are affected by these types of issues and suffer in silence due to
their belief that nobody cares. Those affected by these social issuses
will continue to be victims without TV talk shows such as these. For
the most part, TV shows provide an important view on today's issues
and how they affect everyday people. (Feller, 2005)

The Top Functional Foods of 2010


According to the April 2009 position on functional foods by the
American Dietetic Association (ADA), all foods are functional at some
level, because they provide nutrients that furnish energy, sustain
growth, or maintain and repair vital processes. While the "functional
food" category, per se, is not officially recognized by the Food and
Drug Administration, the ADA considers functional foods to be whole
foods and fortified, enriched, or enhanced foods that have a potentially
beneficial effect on health. Thus a list of functional foods might be as
varied as nuts, calcium-fortified orange juice, energy bars, bottled teas
and gluten-free foods. While many functional foods—from whole grain
breads to wild salmon—provide obvious health benefits, other
functional foods like acai berry or "brain development" foods may
make overly optimistic promises. Thus, it’s important to evaluate each
functional food on the basis of scientific evidence before you buy into
their benefits.

10 Things to Hate About Sleep Loss


Most people have experienced sallow skin and puffy eyes after a few
nights of missed sleep. But it turns out that chronic sleep loss can lead
to lackluster skin, fine lines, and dark circles under the eyes.
When you don’t get enough sleep, your body releases more of the
stress hormone cortisol. In excess amounts, cortisol can break down
skin collagen, the protein that keeps skin smooth and elastic.

Laughter the Medicine


Laughter is one of the greatest healing devices known to man.
Laughter is powerful and can help people in many different ways. It
has the power to cure something as little as a bad day or to heal the
wounds of a terminally ill person. Laughing has helped create the
smile which is the universal sign of well being. Generally, individuals
who do not laugh live miserably and have unhappy lives. Dr. Robert
Holden found out that smiling and laughing releases endorphins in the
brain which gives people a overall happy well being. Using comedy,
many doctors have stimulated the healing process in manic
depressants and fatally ill patients giving them hope and ambition. In
many clinics laughter is being used in replacing anti depressants and
reduces the need for pain killers.(Dr. Gael Crystal). Take comedians
for example, they usually live long and happy lives. Putting a smile on
faces and laughs in souls is what makes life complete. Laughter helps
heal people and brightens spirits for a better and healthier life .
Laughing is a sign of joy and hope and keeps people normal and the
world happy. Using the techniques of laughter and happiness is the
best medicine known to man. Laughter is the universal sign of well
being and happiness within health. Laughing brightens the spirit and
heals the mind and body of people who allow it to overcome them. So
try a smile and laugh on for size and live a longer happier life with
loved ones. (Campos, 2005)

Battle of the Social Network Stars


A major difference between Facebook and Twitter emerges in their
methods of communication. Facebook is, in fact, meant to be more
passive, as Jeff Glasson noted in an early 2008 blog post on the
Social Media Today website. In contrast, Twitter seems a much more
active form of social communication in which the way you talk to
people on the social network emerges as much more conversational.
Twitter has been likened to a giant party where you know no one but
wish to make many friends. In contrast, Facebook would be a wedding
reception filled with family and friends.
When looking at these two tools, one issue comes up quite frequently
—the issue of privacy. Privacy seems paramount to the users of
Facebook, but Twitter users tend to embrace the feeling that
everything is public. Simply look at this difference in the two services:
Facebook gives you friends, while Twitter gives you followers. With
Facebook, you often need some sort of approval to contact another
user while Twitter does not require the same type of approval.

Study reveals internet can ruin family relationships


Can the Internet be a source of conflicts? A new study from online security
firm says yes, and it does not just affect intimate relationships but family
relationships as well.

Previous researches have revealed that children on average spend six


hours or more glued to the screens of their devices.

Kaspersky Lab and iconKids & Youth researchers surveyed over 3,700
families in seven countries to know about how the internet is affecting their
personal relationship with their children.

One in four of the parents surveyed say that their kids now prefer to go
online rather than talk to them, with one in three parents believing the
internet isolates them from their children. All in all, a fifth of parents and
children say that the internet can cause family tension.

"It is only natural that using—and misusing—each other’s connected


devices can become a cause of conflict for families. However, as we spend
more and more time online, family dynamics are also changing. It is
important that families maintain an ongoing dialogue about how to spot and
respond to potential dangers, with parents and children together agreeing
on the basic rules on how they can best navigate the digital world,” said
Andrei Mochola, head of consumer business at Kaspersky Lab.

The survey also reveals that the problem may be worsened in the following
cases:

If the device used by both parents and children gets broken,

If the device is accidentally infected by a virus while online,

If the parents had to pay for something their child had ordered or
downloaded, and

If the parents had accidentally deleted some of their children's data

Janice Richardson, senior advisor at European Schoolnet, said that


although the internet becomes a source of conflict in some families, siblings
and extended family members take on a much bigger role in children's
online activities.

"Children are instinctively turning to the person they perceive to be able to


fix technical issues, advise on sites and security tools and provide more
objective responses to delicate queries,” Richardson said, citing a recent
study by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission.

She said that given the emerging trend, the importance of parents and
guardians developing their own technical competence and building trusting
relationship with their kids grow.

"At the same time, software and social media providers, too, should seek to
develop more ‘family-friendly’ tools,” Richardson added. — Alixandra Caole

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child book review: How the script compares to
the Palace Theatre production

by Jack Shepherd (published in Independent)

For every HarryPotter fan, the release of The Cursed Child is a dream
come true. Who thought an eighth part to the Boy-Who-Lived’s story would
actually materialise so soon after the main series finished? However, it
quickly transpired this was going to be no normal book release.

JK Rowling chose to release The Cursed Child as a play, one ‘tailor made
for the stage’ as noted inThe Independent’s five-star review of the Palace
Theatre production. Critics, including myself, were blown away by the
magical performance, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany helping Rowling
create something of immense wonder.

So, how does the script, released to the public in book form, compare to
the theatre production? Is the magic still there? Already, fans have
devoured the story, taking it apart bit by bit, uncovering inconsistencies in
the story telling, particularly regarding a certain time-turner paradox. Could
it have ever lived up to expectations?

Unfortunately, as fantastic as the production was, racing through the script


was never going to compare. Where stage theatrics sparked imaginations,
now there are brief lines quickly explaining huge set-ups; everyone knew
the script couldn’t compete with the stage production, begging the question,
should this have ever been released in this format?

An example of the script being unmeasurable against the production comes


in act one, scene four. It starts with the explanation: “And now we enter a
world of time changing. And this Scene is all about magic.” In these few
pages our hero, Albus Severus Potter, goes from being sorted into a
Hogwarts house in his first year to rushing onto the Express in his third.
Along the way, we’re treated to a brief Quidditch lesson, Great Hall
assembly, and a Potions lesson, but they’re all so brief we hardly get a
flavour of what is actually happening.

On stage, it was one of the play’s greatest scenes; fast pace but with vivid
imagery. If The Cursed Child was perhaps written as a book this could
have been built on but, in these pages, we barely get a taste of these
formative years. It’s so quick, so little is said, readers will race through,
given little direction as what is happening.

Another example comes when the new generation of wizards drink a


Polyjuice Potion. In previous books and on stage, it was utterly hilarious as
Rowling’s heroes transformed, yet, as a script, the scene passes by rapidly,
the humour and magic lost.

Of course, this is the problem with releasing The Cursed Child as a script,
and one we must all be resolute with. For those who are unable to see the
stage play, there’s still a lot to enjoy in the script. Scorpius Malfoy, son of
Draco Malfoy, is the highlight of the script, funny throughout. Meanwhile,
the titular hero, Harry Potter, has evolved into a slightly grumpy father and
one who lacks some basic parenting skills. It’s a natural progression for an
orphan thrown into the spotlight that is interesting and will no doubt anger
some fans.

Without giving too much, the first half is quite innocent, while the second
takes a dark turn thanks to a time-twisting plot that - when read at a
reasonable pace - can be quite confusing, at times reading like fan-fiction,
particularly when cameo when cameo after cameo rolls in.

If you do have the luxury of being able to attend the Palace Theatre
production, I highly recommend it. If you’re unable to do so, perhaps wait
until the inevitable three-part film series comes.

WoundClot: The Science Behind Faster Healing
by UP Materials Science Society

It's Wisdom Wednesday!

Do you know what WoundClot does?

The WoundClot Gauze, is a single use, sterile, and bioabsorbable medical


device that is fabricated to suit a variety of wounds. It is made from
cellulose with a molecular structure designed to entrap platelets and
coagulants in a modified physical molecular matrix, specifically designed to
create this hemodynamic polymer membrane, with high adherence and
resilience, able to withhold massive blood pressure and restrict blood flow
almost immediately.

The ability to adhere to a bleeding wound reduces the amount of pressure


needed in order to stop bleeding, thus preventing unnecessary damage the
body caused by excessive pressure, or infection caused by prolonged
contact with the wound. Next, platelets from the injury attach to the gauze
by inter-molecular forces to form a stable membrane, which is able to
withstand severe arterial and venous blood flow for hours.

At the same time, specifically designed molecular functional groups


transform to enhance and activate the natural coagulation process.
Coagulation is a complex chain reaction, where different elements are
motivated into action, conditioned from other reactions.

Specific molecular groups, created in the manufacturing process, are then


dispersed during gel formation to activate various coagulation factors in the
blood, thus helping to form a physiologically natural fibrin clot in the wound.
The ability to influence these reactions speeds the whole coagulation
process.

After bleeding has stopped, the remaining residual membrane can be


irrigated out of the wound safely without pulling on soft tissue or the
existing clot. WoundClot is designed to maintain its integrity through
polymeric chains, specifically designed to interact with water molecules to
form a physical cross linked network, which is manageable and natural.

The correct answer is: Definition

A rule in conducting surveys that requires the researcher to commit to the


promise of keeping confidential information strictly private.

The correct answer is: Fidelity

An is a question-and-answer activity between the researcher and the


respondent for the purpose of knowing what the respondent thinks and

The Decay of Friendship

from The Idler, Number 23, September 23, 1758

by Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Life has no pleasure higher or nobler than that of friendship. It is painful to


consider that this sublime enjoyment may be impaired or destroyed by
innumerable causes, and that there is no human possession of which the
duration is less certain.

Many have talked in very exalted language, of the perpetuity of friendship,


of invincible constancy, and unalienable kindness; and some examples
have been seen of men who have continued faithful to their earliest choice,
and whose affection has predominated over changes of fortune, and
contrariety of opinion.

But these instances are memorable, because they are rare. The friendship
which is to be practiced or expected by common mortals, must take its rise
from mutual pleasure, and must end when the power ceases of delighting
each other.

Many accidents therefore may happen by which the ardor of kindness will
be abated, without criminal baseness or contemptible inconstancy on either
part. To give pleasure is not always in our power; and little does he know
himself who believes that he can be always able to receive it.
Those who would gladly pass their days together may be separated by the
different course of their affairs; and friendship, like love, is destroyed by
long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions. What we
have missed long enough to want it, we value more when it is regained; but
that which has been lost till it is forgotten, will be found at last with little
gladness, and with still less if a substitute has supplied the place. A man
deprived of the companion to whom he used to open his bosom, and with
whom he shared the hours of leisure and merriment, feels the day at first
hanging heavy on him; his difficulties oppress, and his doubts distract him;
he sees time come and go without his wonted gratification, and all is
sadness within, and solitude about him. But this uneasiness never lasts
long; necessity produces expedients, new amusements are discovered,
and new conversation is admitted.

No expectation is more frequently disappointed, than that which naturally


arises in the mind from the prospect of meeting an old friend after long
separation. We expect the attraction to be revived, and the coalition to be
renewed; no man considers how much alteration time has made in himself,
and very few inquire what effect it has had upon others. The first hour
convinces them that the pleasure which they have formerly enjoyed, is
forever at an end; different scenes have made different impressions; the
opinions of both are changed; and that similitude of manners and sentiment
is lost which confirmed them both in the approbation of themselves.

Friendship is often destroyed by opposition of interest, not only by the


ponderous and visible interest which the desire of wealth and greatness
forms and maintains, but by a thousand secret and slight competitions,
scarcely known to the mind upon which they operate. There is scarcely any
man without some favorite trifle which he values above greater attainments,
some desire of petty praise which he cannot patiently suffer to be
frustrated. This minute ambition is sometimes crossed before it is known,
and sometimes defeated by wanton petulance; but such attacks are seldom
made without the loss of friendship; for whoever has once found the
vulnerable part will always be feared, and the resentment will burn on in
secret, of which shame hinders the discovery.
This, however, is a slow malignity, which a wise man will obviate as
inconsistent with quiet, and a good man will repress as contrary to virtue;
but human happiness is sometimes violated by some more sudden strokes.

A dispute begun in jest upon a subject which a moment before was on both
parts regarded with careless indifference, is continued by the desire of
conquest, till vanity kindles into rage, and opposition rankles into enmity.
Against this hasty mischief, I know not what security can be obtained; men
will be sometimes surprised into quarrels; and though they might both
haste into reconciliation, as soon as their tumult had subsided, yet two
minds will seldom be found together, which can at once subdue their
discontent, or immediately enjoy the sweets of peace without remembering
the wounds of the conflict.

Friendship has other enemies. Suspicion is always hardening the cautious,


and disgust repelling the delicate. Very slender differences will sometimes
part those whom long reciprocation of civility or beneficence has united.
Lonelove and Ranger retired into the country to enjoy the company of each
other, and returned in six weeks, cold and petulant; Ranger's pleasure was
to walk in the fields, and Lonelove's to sit in a bower; each had complied
with the other in his turn, and each was angry that compliance had been
exacted.

The most fatal disease of friendship is gradual decay, or dislike hourly


increased by causes too slender for complaint, and too numerous for
removal. Those who are angry may be reconciled; those who have been
injured may receive a recompense: but when the desire of pleasing and
willingness to be pleased is silently diminished, the renovation of friendship
is hopeless; as, when the vital powers sink into languor, there is no longer
any use of the physician.

21st Century Philippine Writing

by Danton Remoto (May 30, 2015)

Philippine writing in the 21st century has taken a new turn. The works are
seen as sensitive to gender, alludes to technology, show culture as plural
rather than singular, and questions conventions and supposedly absolute
norms.

Writing by women continues to flourish. They have a feminist stance that


questions the centrality of the patriarchy (male-centered viewpoints).
Forbidden Fruit: Women Write the Erotic edited by Tina Cuyugan and Kung
Ibig Mo, love poems edited by Joi Barrios show that a woman’s map of
dreams and desires is better drawn by a woman writer herself. Gone were
the days when female characters only came from the imagination – or
fantasy – of men.

Lesbian and gay writing continue to be written. Neil Garcia and I have just
published The Best of Ladlad. My other books include Bright, Catholic –
and Gay: Essays and Rampa: Mga Sanaysay, while coming soon is a book
of stories and essays called Happy Na, Gay, Pa.

Technology is also an important part of this literature, centered on the rise


of the city and anchored on globalization. The economic boom, albeit
benefiting only the elite, has led to the opening of the Philippines to diverse
economic interests. Writings on Filipinos abroad and of Filipinos abroad
also add to this more cosmopolitan, if not more consumerist, attitude of the
21st-century Filipino.
Moreover, writings from the regions have served notice that “imperial
Manila” is no longer the only fountain of ideas. We have to thank Ateneo de
Naga Publishing House, National Commission on Culture and the Arts, UP
Press, and University of San Agustin Publishing House, among others. The
Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards in Literature has opened its
magisterial doors to writing from the regions. Ateneo de Manila University
Press and UST Publishing House are both in fine form, publishing
important works from Katipunan and Espana.

Nowadays, writers are no longer made to feel guilty if they write in English.
In true subversive fashion, they now write not just in English or Filipino but
in both languages. Some books show poems printed enface: one side in
English, the other in Filipino. The twains have met, and you can no longer
detect which is written first, and which is the translation, for there is equal
facility and fluency in both. This recalls the verbal legerdemain of our ladino
poets in the 17th century.

Moreover, Marjorie Evasco has been translating her poems in English into
Cebuano, J. Iremil Teodoro writes lyrical stories in Kinaray-a and translates
them into English, Peter Nery slides from English to Hiligaynon in his erotic
poems, Kristian Cordero and Victor Nierva write works in Bicolano and in
the next breath, translate them into elegant English. Surely, the vessels
that contain Philippine literature are no longer one, or two, or even three,
but as many as the different languages in our archipelago.

What about the English being written? Trinidad Tarrosa Subido coined the
phrase “language if [our] blood.” Dr. Gemino H. Abad has used it as
framework in his three anthologies on Philippine poetry in English. He said
that we have colonized English and have made it our own, and the poems
are now “wrought from English.”

It is no longer the very proper English from the old textbooks, or the
Americanese in books copyrighted in New York. It is now a language
filtered by our regional languages and by mass media – printed, seen,
broadcast – as well as shaped by social media, by the fragmentation of text
language, by sound bites, anime, graphic novels, and cosplays (costume
plays).

In 1995, the Philippine Studies journal of Ateneo de Manila University


published New Philippine Writing,which was edited by Professor Emmanuel
Torres and I. Prof. Torres said: “An alternative poetics is at work. . . . Form
is more open-ended than closed, looser, more improvisatory; the tone
conversational, informal. And no one seems to think twice about making
explicit statements in the name of personal passion or liberation. Despite
the rise of ‘cause-oriented’ writing, formal matters of craft in no way seem
endangered, thanks to the influence of writing workshops in leading
universities.”

Prof. Torres continues: “The popularity of poetry readings [and now open
mike readings even by non-poets, for good or for bad] on campuses and in
writer-friendly coffeehouses is partly the reason for the current taste for the
laid-back and discursive. Apparently being revived is the tradition of the
poet as bard, one communally interactive and inclined to addressing the
sound-world of a poem to a roomful of listeners rather than one crafting
lines intended solely for the book page and the solitary reader. . . .”

Thus, we no longer find a poem about a poem; or a poem with Greek or


Roman allusions; or a story set in Greenwich Village. There is now a
certain historicity; allusions to Philippine myth and fable, lore and legend;
astringent satires of popular culture and political foibles. Anglo-American
writers are still being read, but now they are hyphenated and seem like
dispatches from the global village. Works, in translation, of African, Asian,
and Latin American writers are being devoured. There is the shock of
recognition in reading about postcolonial experiences similar to ours, and
fears and dreams coming from the same socio-political conditions.

The internet has also made the Filipino writer less insular or old-fashioned.
Bob Ong started a blog, “Bobong Pinoy” and parlayed it into bestselling
books. Other blogs have become popular books and even box-office-hit
movies, i.e., Ang Diary ng Panget. Celebrities are now supposedly writing,
while radio anchors are turning their zany scripts into books. Senator
Miriam Defensor Santiago’s book, Stupid isForever, is the doyenne of them
all: it has been the bestselling book since December.

Pimply teenagers can upload their stories in Wattpad, watch them viewed
15 million times, and now get contracts for a TV series or a romance film.
Ghost stories are selling, and so do children’s books and graphic novels.
Young-adult novels are being written, for a generation on the run (or eyes
glued to their gadgets). I have done a controversial – and bestselling –
translation of Greene’s The Fault in Our Starsand Anvil will publish my
translation of Marivi Soliven’s novel, The Mango Bride.

The Filipino public has begun to read – and we are all the better for it.

How they make pancakes in Osaka

by Elfren S. Cruz (August 4, 2016)

A marriage of a pancake and an omelet is a beautiful thing — two breakfast


favorites grilled to juiciness and served piping hot.

In Japan, they call this delicious hybrid okonomiyaki, the “scrambled”


version of which originated from Osaka. It is prepared like a pancake and
served with okonomiyaki sauce, seaweed flakes, bonito flakes, Japanese
mayo, and pickled ginger.
One of the original okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka, Chibo Okonomiyaki,
is now in Manila at S Maison in the newly opened Conrad Hotel.
Okonomiyaki shops abound in Osaka, but Chibo is one of the oldest, dating
back to 1973. They pride themselves on delivering the same original
okonomiyaki taste consistently across all its branches around the world.
Even visitors from Japan looking for something to eat that reminds them of
home say that Chibo Okonomiyaki in Manila is up to their standards.

Imagine this: you are in a room (they call it the Presidential Room),
engulfed in smoke while you watch the Chibo chef chop, toss, whisk, and
press an okonomiyaki into shape, carefully creating a nice, thin crust. It
resists your bite but the center — composed of anything you like, anything
at all, because Chibo Okonomiyaki has a variant for all tastes — melts in
your mouth.

Chef Akihiro, who is from Osaka and therefore versed in the art of creating
these savory pancakes, creates several different dishes for us, while Kenji
Komuro and David Guevarra, operations manager, share the dish’s origins
and how they create the same okonomiyaki flavor in Manila. They bring
most ingredients from Japan, while some they create. The batter and the
sauce are key and must be consistent. As for what’s inside the pancake,
their menu has more choices than you can handle.

Chef served us a really complex-looking one, topped with unsweetened


meringue and a flattened crab crown — the Shirayukihime or “Snow White
Princess,” an extra-soft okonomiyaki with prawn, bacon, pork, tomato,
avocado and cheese. Kenji says it’s so pretty some guests like to order it
during birthdays, in lieu of cake. Well, happy birthday to me. It’s delicious.

Should We Pay?
Many issues have been plaguing the sports world recently, especially the
question of paying college athletes. Are athletics so important that colleges
need to put out millions of dollars per year just to pay for students to play
for them? Paying college athletes is like throwing a lit match into a
haystack: once the fire is started, it just keeps burning, making a bad
situation worse.

There are several differences between the haystack and paying athletes.
To start,

throwing a needle in a haystack is a totally negative concept; everything will


burn. However, with paying college athletes, some people can find reasons
why this could be a positive thing. For instance, some believe paying
athletes will bring more competition to the table and make some colleges
much more prestigious than others. Others say this will bring in more
money and more revenue. A second difference is the end of the situation.
At the end of the fire, there is smoke and it will eventually put itself out.
However, this is an issue that cannot extinguish itself. No matter what the
verdict, someone is going to be unhappy and the "fire" will keep burning.

Despite these differences there are many similarities between the two. One
similarity is the haystack going up in flames and the whole educational
system going up. If we pay our college athletes the focus will be more on
the money than on learning.

College is supposed to prepare a student for life's work through learning,


not be life's work. College sports will also become more like professional
sports- all about the money and less about the love of the sport. Related to
this is the issue of scholarships. Are scholarships not enough pay for the
student? And who decides how much money each player receives? Will it
depend on how good the player is, what sport they play, what position they
are?

Another similarity has to deal with going up in flames. By throwing one little
lit match into that haystack, the whole thing goes up. Just by paying college
athletes many other issues arise. Yes, paying athletes may bring in more
revenue, but how much of that will actually go back to the college or
institution? Another issue that comes up is the fairness to other students.
Young athletes already receive many things that non- athletes do not. Not
only do they have the opportunity to travel and stay overnight in the best
hotels, they also get special treatments away from the sport. Some athletes
may receive special attention from certain professors or even people
throughout the town in which the college is located.

A third similarity between the burning haystack and paying athletes is the
rate at which things will "burn". The haystack will burn fast, leaving nothing
behind, and getting bigger and bigger as it goes. The same goes for this
issue. Everyone wants to voice their own opinion about it, snowballing into
a bigger and bigger issue. People will quickly become angry and quick to
defend their side.

Paying college athletes is like throwing a lit match into a haystack: the
educational system and other issues go up in flames and they will occur
very quickly. I believe there are more problems with this idea than there are
good things about it. I find nothing about it to be worth spending millions of
dollars to pay students to play a game. They need to be worrying more
about their studies. This issue will be burning for a long time.

What happens when a Youtube star writes a book

by Bong Osorio

Since the dawn of the Web and its many versions, numerous Internet
sensations have come and gone, but only a few have sustained and
continue to increase their following. One of them is Felix Kjellberg,
popularly known by his Internet alias “PewDiePie.” He is a 20-something
Swede who has lingered as YouTube’s biggest star since 2013, garnering
over 40 million followers on his channel. This makes him the holder of the
Guinness Book of World Records title for generating the most number of
subscribers of all time. What’s more astounding about his fame is that his
videos have been viewed over 10 billion times but he remains strange and
nameless to most of his audience.

PewDiePie is a social media phenomenon whose popularity emanates from


his one-of-a-kind approach to his video productions, which usually start off
with a shrill declaration of his name before he slides into mocking, panicky
reactions to various games and activities. At the end, he thanks his “bros”
for tuning in. PewDiePie’s fans have multiplied swiftly and become more
pervasive because instant communication facilitates increased word of
mouth.

Following his social media success, PewDiePie ventured into book


publishing and came up with This Book Loves You, now a New York Times
bestseller that is poised to become an international sensation as well. The
tome is an extremely imaginative pictorial collection of direction and advice
manifested in gags and witticisms that lampoons Internet memes and
passages. As he declared, it is a “parody on self-help books” and is “full of
useful quotes.”

This Book Loves You serves up a lot of toilet humor and impassioned
communication. The heftiest improprieties, though, are masked by
intriguing visuals or cheeky figures, while still making the message quite
apparent. The images are caricatures, executed mostly as cartoony
patchworks, and are funny bordering on the ridiculous. Hostility is not a
prevalent theme and the sexual content is manageable. The character of
the opinions listed is ironic and satiric and projects the persona of the
author and the tonality of the message he wants to convey.

What's the narrative?

The book — jokingly or seriously — was a byproduct of the author’s


discovery of his “great wisdom,” or so it seems. He claims that he needs to
share it with a world that desperately needs to read it. His exasperation
with the invariable quotes and memes cluttering social media pushed him
to put together this “first-rate, highly flavored, and optimistic” book.

A fan pic on Twitter inspired him to counter those bothersome memes with
his own take. “I turn these one-liners and quotes upside down by adding
acerbic, smart-alecky, tongue-in-cheek punch lines and colorful, witty and
sometimes irreverent visual supports,” says PewDiePie.

Millennials will surely get some laughs out of this paperback, which
appears superficial and thoughtless on the surface but holds a certain
charm for a specific audience. But knowing that millennials now number in
the millions, who needs breadth and depth? Certainly not PewDiePie.

This Book Loves You provides a window into the wacky mind of one of
YouTube’s best entertainers. Here are samples:

• “My favorite quote? It’s like being asked what my favorite child is. I don’t
have a child.”

• “Money can’t buy you happiness; but it buys you all the things you don’t
have, even friends. I feel sorry for poor people.”

• “Don’t be afraid to say how you feel, because no one is going to care
anyway.”

• “If you can fight your way out of a situation, don’t. You’ll die.”

• “To fly, you must get rid of the things that weigh you down. This is why all
your friends left you.”

• “Don’t sugarcoat everything… you’ll get diabetes.”

• “Impossible is nothing. Doing nothing is easy. So do nothing!”

• “You can’t watch YouTube in prison, so don’t kill anyone.”

• “Running out of money doesn’t count as exercise.”

• “Running away from problems won’t make you skinny.”

• “You can never fail if you never try. So why bother.”


• “You’re not bad, everyone else is just so much better.”

• “You can’t make everyone happy. So focus on making yourself happy so


that maybe one day your happiness will evolve and eat everyone.”

• “Don’t listen to haters. Live your life the way you want to live it.”

• “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Unless you don’t have
any friends, then just sit in a corner and cry.”

• “Don’t worry about your problems. If you end up dead tomorrow, they’ll all
be gone.”

• “Every second you’re closer to oblivion. No quote in the world is going to


change that.”

• “If you can’t beat them, there’s still a good chance to annoy them.”

• “Change your life today, for the worse!”

• “Quotes are the most important thing in the universe, and you should
always take them to heart.”

If you’re dedicated PewDiePie fan you might just love him enough to buy
the book out of support for the phenomenon and his unusual, confusing
and unique approach to book writing. But expecting anything beyond a
momentary laugh might be asking too much.

Federalism and Democracy

by Elfren S. Cruz (August 4, 2016)

Federalism is a form of government where there is a division of powers


between the national government and the regional governments.
Federalism is said to be particularly suited to democracies especially those
with very large populations or large geographical territories.

It has also been noted that real federalism can exist only in a democracy.
This is because an authoritarian government will always insist on
centralizing powers through a unitary form of government. The second
reason is that the separation of powers must be rooted in constitutionalism
and the rule of law.

All organizations, whether in business or government, reach a certain point


at which there must be a decentralization of powers if it wants to be more
efficient. In a businesss organization, this decentralization comes in the
form of creating regional offices and appointing regional heads. In a
democracy, powers must be delegated to an elected body if there is to be
credibility and popular support from the people. Here is how George
Anderson of the Forum of Federations explains it:

“The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were not true


federations during the period of Communist rule, even though they had
federal constitutions. All real powers were centralized in the Communist
Party.

The situation was more complex in Latin America. Brazil and Argentina had
periods of military rule at the center, but sometimes allowed relatively free
elections within their states or provinces – particularly during military rule; in
Brazil, the states developed a key role in designing a constitution to end
[military] rule. In Mexico, the Institutional Revolutionary Party [PRI] largely
controlled elections for many years but over time its grip loosened,
particularly in certain states.

Nigeria and Pakistan have had similar experiences of intermittent military


rule and federal democracy. Thus, some undemocratic federations are
clearly for show, but in others their federal structure might have some
reality. Moreover, in all these countries, federal constitutional arrangements
came to have real significance during the transition to democracy as
previously subservient units were empowered . In the formerly communist
countries, the federal structure played a role in their break up.”
Federalism and Constitution

A truly effective federal system must be based on a written constitution and


the rule of law. The constitution must clearly define the distribution of
powers between the national government and the regional government.

However, another component in the constitution must be the method for


resolving conflicts over the legal powers of the national and the regional
governments. A citizen cannot obey two contradictory laws. Normally, the
legal conflicts can arise in the following ways:

• When there is a conflict between the laws of the national government and
the regional governments, the central government’s laws are considered
paramount. The only exceptions are those specifically provided by the
constitution.

• Sometimes the national government and the regional government may


pass laws that are in conflict. However, both sides may claim that their laws
is derive from their powers. For example, the national government may
have powers over internal trade but the regional government has powers
over property. They may pass conflicting laws over these two areas. In
such a case resolving the conflict requires determining which power –
internal trade or property – is more relevant. The constitution must provide
a method for interpreting relevant laws.

• There can also be times that there are no conflicts but a government or
private party may object to law passed by another government on the
grounds that the law goes beyond its powers.

• Sometimes, there are objections to a law on the grounds that it goes


against a constitutionally established right.

A federal form of government requires a very strong and autonomous


federal judiciary. In almost all federal states, the judiciary – especially the
Supreme Court – has the ultimate authority for resolving constitutional
disputes.
In the United States, the appointment of Supreme Court Justices is a highly
politicized and debated issue but no one questions the right of the Supreme
Court to be the final authority for deciding on constitutional issues. This is
again another reason why federalism can succeed only in a democracy
where the rule of law prevails and is accepted by all authorities – national
and regional.

It is true that federalism cannot guarantee good governance any more than
a unitary form of government. But the increase in worldwide attention to
federalism is being driven by the spread of democracies and the increase
in population in many developing countries. These two factors are leading
to the demand for the devolution of powers to the areas outside the usual
centers of powers.

In the Philippines, Metro Manila has always been the center of power. The
electoral powers has always resided in the so called “ corridor” that
stretches from Pangasinan to Quezon. It is not a coincidence that the
economic power is also concentrated in this same corridor of power.

The devolution of power to the local government units is limited by the fact
that these LGUs are too small to have any real powers; and, must remain
dependent on the largesse of the central powers in Metro Manila.

The time has come to seriously consider how to allow the more equitable
distribution of economic and political power from the center to the regions.
We are not a small country. With a population of more than 100 million,
federalism is the more effective form of government. Why regional
governments? Political power cannot be devolved to an appointive body.
In a democracy, political power can only be devolved to an elected
government. This is the reason for federalism.

tome is an extremely imaginative pictorial collection of direction and advice
manifested in gags and witticisms that lampoons Internet memes and
passages. As he declared, it is a “parody on self-help books” and is “full of
useful quotes.”

This Book Loves You serves up a lot of toilet humor and impassioned
communication. The heftiest improprieties, though, are masked by
intriguing visuals or cheeky figures, while still making the message quite
apparent. The images are caricatures, executed mostly as cartoony
patchworks, and are funny bordering on the ridiculous. Hostility is not a
prevalent theme and the sexual content is manageable. The character of
the opinions listed is ironic and satiric and projects the persona of the
author and the tonality of the message he wants to convey.

What's the narrative?

The book — jokingly or seriously — was a byproduct of the author’s


discovery of his “great wisdom,” or so it seems. He claims that he needs to
share it with a world that desperately needs to read it. His exasperation
with the invariable quotes and memes cluttering social media pushed him
to put together this “first-rate, highly flavored, and optimistic” book.

A fan pic on Twitter inspired him to counter those bothersome memes with
his own take. “I turn these one-liners and quotes upside down by adding
acerbic, smart-alecky, tongue-in-cheek punch lines and colorful, witty and
sometimes irreverent visual supports,” says PewDiePie.

Millennials will surely get some laughs out of this paperback, which
appears superficial and thoughtless on the surface but holds a certain
charm for a specific audience. But knowing that millennials now number in
the millions, who needs breadth and depth? Certainly not PewDiePie.

This Book Loves You provides a window into the wacky mind of one of
YouTube’s best entertainers. Here are samples:

• “My favorite quote? It’s like being asked what my favorite child is. I don’t
have a child.”

• “Money can’t buy you happiness; but it buys you all the things you don’t
have, even friends. I feel sorry for poor people.”

• “Don’t be afraid to say how you feel, because no one is going to care
anyway.”

• “If you can fight your way out of a situation, don’t. You’ll die.”

• “To fly, you must get rid of the things that weigh you down. This is why all
your friends left you.”

• “Don’t sugarcoat everything… you’ll get diabetes.”


• “Impossible is nothing. Doing nothing is easy. So do nothing!”

• “You can’t watch YouTube in prison, so don’t kill anyone.”

• “Running out of money doesn’t count as exercise.”

• “Running away from problems won’t make you skinny.”

• “You can never fail if you never try. So why bother.”

• “You’re not bad, everyone else is just so much better.”

• “You can’t make everyone happy. So focus on making yourself happy so


that maybe one day your happiness will evolve and eat everyone.”

• “Don’t listen to haters. Live your life the way you want to live it.”

• “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Unless you don’t have
any friends, then just sit in a corner and cry.”

• “Don’t worry about your problems. If you end up dead tomorrow, they’ll all
be gone.”

• “Every second you’re closer to oblivion. No quote in the world is going to


change that.”

• “If you can’t beat them, there’s still a good chance to annoy them.”

• “Change your life today, for the worse!”

• “Quotes are the most important thing in the universe, and you should
always take them to heart.”

If you’re dedicated PewDiePie fan you might just love him enough to buy
the book out of support for the phenomenon and his unusual, confusing
and unique approach to book writing. But expecting anything beyond a
momentary laugh might be asking too much.

Federalism and Democracy

by Elfren S. Cruz (August 4, 2016)

Federalism is a form of government where there is a division of powers


between the national government and the regional governments.
Federalism is said to be particularly suited to democracies especially those
with very large populations or large geographical territories.

It has also been noted that real federalism can exist only in a democracy.
This is because an authoritarian government will always insist on
centralizing powers through a unitary form of government. The second
reason is that the separation of powers must be rooted in constitutionalism
and the rule of law.

All organizations, whether in business or government, reach a certain point


at which there must be a decentralization of powers if it wants to be more
efficient. In a businesss organization, this decentralization comes in the
form of creating regional offices and appointing regional heads. In a
democracy, powers must be delegated to an elected body if there is to be
credibility and popular support from the people. Here is how George
Anderson of the Forum of Federations explains it:

“The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were not true


federations during the period of Communist rule, even though they had
federal constitutions. All real powers were centralized in the Communist
Party.

The situation was more complex in Latin America. Brazil and Argentina had
periods of military rule at the center, but sometimes allowed relatively free
elections within their states or provinces – particularly during military rule; in
Brazil, the states developed a key role in designing a constitution to end
[military] rule. In Mexico, the Institutional Revolutionary Party [PRI] largely
controlled elections for many years but over time its grip loosened,
particularly in certain states.

Nigeria and Pakistan have had similar experiences of intermittent military


rule and federal democracy. Thus, some undemocratic federations are
clearly for show, but in others their federal structure might have some
reality. Moreover, in all these countries, federal constitutional arrangements
came to have real significance during the transition to democracy as
previously subservient units were empowered . In the formerly communist
countries, the federal structure played a role in their break up.”

Federalism and Constitution

A truly effective federal system must be based on a written constitution and


the rule of law. The constitution must clearly define the distribution of
powers between the national government and the regional government.

However, another component in the constitution must be the method for


resolving conflicts over the legal powers of the national and the regional
governments. A citizen cannot obey two contradictory laws. Normally, the
legal conflicts can arise in the following ways:

• When there is a conflict between the laws of the national government and
the regional governments, the central government’s laws are considered
paramount. The only exceptions are those specifically provided by the
constitution.

• Sometimes the national government and the regional government may


pass laws that are in conflict. However, both sides may claim that their laws
is derive from their powers. For example, the national government may
have powers over internal trade but the regional government has powers
over property. They may pass conflicting laws over these two areas. In
such a case resolving the conflict requires determining which power –
internal trade or property – is more relevant. The constitution must provide
a method for interpreting relevant laws.
• There can also be times that there are no conflicts but a government or
private party may object to law passed by another government on the
grounds that the law goes beyond its powers.

• Sometimes, there are objections to a law on the grounds that it goes


against a constitutionally established right.

A federal form of government requires a very strong and autonomous


federal judiciary. In almost all federal states, the judiciary – especially the
Supreme Court – has the ultimate authority for resolving constitutional
disputes.

In the United States, the appointment of Supreme Court Justices is a highly


politicized and debated issue but no one questions the right of the Supreme
Court to be the final authority for deciding on constitutional issues. This is
again another reason why federalism can succeed only in a democracy
where the rule of law prevails and is accepted by all authorities – national
and regional.

It is true that federalism cannot guarantee good governance any more than
a unitary form of government. But the increase in worldwide attention to
federalism is being driven by the spread of democracies and the increase
in population in many developing countries. These two factors are leading
to the demand for the devolution of powers to the areas outside the usual
centers of powers.

In the Philippines, Metro Manila has always been the center of power. The
electoral powers has always resided in the so called “ corridor” that
stretches from Pangasinan to Quezon. It is not a coincidence that the
economic power is also concentrated in this same corridor of power.

The devolution of power to the local government units is limited by the fact
that these LGUs are too small to have any real powers; and, must remain
dependent on the largesse of the central powers in Metro Manila.

The time has come to seriously consider how to allow the more equitable
distribution of economic and political power from the center to the regions.
We are not a small country. With a population of more than 100 million,
federalism is the more effective form of government. Why regional
governments? Political power cannot be devolved to an appointive body.
In a democracy, political power can only be devolved to an elected
government. This is the reason for federalism.

How they make pancakes in Osaka

by Elfren S. Cruz (August 4, 2016)

A marriage of a pancake and an omelet is a beautiful thing — two breakfast


favorites grilled to juiciness and served piping hot.

In Japan, they call this delicious hybrid okonomiyaki, the “scrambled”


version of which originated from Osaka. It is prepared like a pancake and
served with okonomiyaki sauce, seaweed flakes, bonito flakes, Japanese
mayo, and pickled ginger.

One of the original okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka, Chibo Okonomiyaki,


is now in Manila at S Maison in the newly opened Conrad Hotel.
Okonomiyaki shops abound in Osaka, but Chibo is one of the oldest, dating
back to 1973. They pride themselves on delivering the same original
okonomiyaki taste consistently across all its branches around the world.
Even visitors from Japan looking for something to eat that reminds them of
home say that Chibo Okonomiyaki in Manila is up to their standards.

Imagine this: you are in a room (they call it the Presidential Room),
engulfed in smoke while you watch the Chibo chef chop, toss, whisk, and
press an okonomiyaki into shape, carefully creating a nice, thin crust. It
resists your bite but the center — composed of anything you like, anything
at all, because Chibo Okonomiyaki has a variant for all tastes — melts in
your mouth.
Chef Akihiro, who is from Osaka and therefore versed in the art of creating
these savory pancakes, creates several different dishes for us, while Kenji
Komuro and David Guevarra, operations manager, share the dish’s origins
and how they create the same okonomiyaki flavor in Manila. They bring
most ingredients from Japan, while some they create. The batter and the
sauce are key and must be consistent. As for what’s inside the pancake,
their menu has more choices than you can handle.

Chef served us a really complex-looking one, topped with unsweetened


meringue and a flattened crab crown — the Shirayukihime or “Snow White
Princess,” an extra-soft okonomiyaki with prawn, bacon, pork, tomato,
avocado and cheese. Kenji says it’s so pretty some guests like to order it
during birthdays, in lieu of cake. Well, happy birthday to me. It’s delicious.
