Antipolo
Spanish Period.
Franciscan missionaries arrived in Antipolo in 1578 and built a church in Boso-Boso. In 1591 they were replaced by the Jesuits who organized the village into a parish. On March 25, 1626 Governor-General Juan Niño de Tabora brought from Acapulco, Mexico the image of the Virgin Mary. Before he died, he bequeathed the image to the Jesuits for the Antipolo Church. In 1639, the Chinese revolt reached Antipolo and burned the church down; however, the image was unharmed. It stayed in Cavite for 14 years. 10 years after the incident the image was renamed "Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje" (Tagalog: "Ang Mahal na Birhen ng Kapayapaan at Mabuting Paglalayag"; "Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage"). A replica of the image of the Birhen ng Antipolo is now enshrined in the U.S. for all the immigrant Filipinos. The village of Antipolo was made into a town in 1650 as part of the Province of Tondo but then it became a province of manila. The district was later known as the District of Morong. The Recollects took over Antipolo in 1864. It was during these years that the Virgin of Antipolo gained thousands of devotees. Devotees from Manila and nearby towns and provinces flock to Antipolo on foot along mountain trails and springs.

The City was named after a tree locally known as Tipolo (Autocarpus Incisa) which was in abundance in the area at the time. It is because the image of the Virgin Mary was lost several times and each time it was recovered on a Tipolo tree.

    PETERLOO

    The disenfranchised working class took to the streets on the 16 August 1819 to protest over their lack of suffrage in the hard economic times. Historian Robert Poole has gone as far as to say that Peterloo was one of the defining moments of it’s age1. For what came to be known as The Peterloo Massacre became a clear indication of the lack of ways in which the working class and peasantry could voice their political beliefs: They did not have the vote, the protest was violently suppressed- and following The Peterloo Massacre newspapers and other publications were censored or shut down if they were deemed to contain any seditious messages. It seems by looking at the sources that one of the most notable shifts in political voice is the censorship and suppression the government issues with the massacre and following it. However, Peterloo did embody a shift towards universal suffrage and a broader political voice, with women veering into the political spectrum for the first time, taking part in the protests and rallies.…

    Wilmot Proviso

    The Wilmot Proviso was first prompted by the ending of the Mexican-American War. The war was a conflict between Mexico and the United States during 1846 to 1848. After the annexation of Texas, the United States’ relationship with Mexico was getting more tense. The U.S. had a blockade off the coast of Mexico, and went South through California in order to physically invade parts of Mexico. Those who opposed the war were either Whig or anti-“the spread of slavery.” This is because those who were against the institution of slavery did not want to acquire new territory: with the acquisition of new territory came new potential for more plantations. The end result of the war resulted in the negotiation (under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo) to attain Texas, as well as the rest of the land to the Pacific Ocean. This total expanse attained nearly half of Mexico.…

    Within Clinical settings the prevalence of nosocomial Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections is rising which is placing more patients at risk of acquiring an infection and placing more strain on the health care system, as patients receiving these infections are occupying hospital beds for extended periods of time (Chaberny et al 2008, p 526). With this knowledge, the author has identified that there is a lacking of screening measures that, if implemented, may help to reduce patients being exposed to nosocomial infections whilst in the clinical setting. Therefore, the question the author has developed asks “Does MRSA screening on admission, reduce the risk of other patients in acquiring a nosocomial infection within surgical wards”.…

    The movie Serpico is about police corruption Frank Serpico, or known as “Paco” which is a police officer who testifies against police corruption, also who got shot in the face for during a drug arrest. Which after that being taken place, none of the officers made one action. Serpico was abandoned by society because after testifying with many people about the corruption really made no difference. Serpico was a good cop for example an officer beaten a young, after that Serpico had took the young male across the street for a cup of coffee treating him well talking with him to get the information that’s needed for the crime the young boy committed, instead of the violent act. All Frank Serpico was about was serving well to protect others with no question. Officers did not work together in a positive and ethical way to do things the right way; they also were accepting bribes from criminals. Overall the police in this film were using their own source of power to commit crimes. While Frank Serpico did his best to stop the police corruption to serve well to his community.…

    Serpico

    • 6 Pages

    The reason I chose Serpico is because I thought this book would talk about a cop trying to do the right thing, which was to change the crooked system that allowed corruption. This non-fiction talks about the criminality that takes place in this book. For example Serpico was plainclothesmen which was patrolmen working out of uniform on special assignments like narcotics, prostitution, and gambling, so it was a lot of opportunities and temptation for graft to occur. This book proves the point that people in power always abuses it because the plainclothesmen were just out to get a profit from illegal activities that you were hired to prevent.…
