    philippine president

    Depending on the definition chosen for these terms, a number of persons could alternatively be considered the inaugural holder of the office. Andrés Bonifacio is the de facto first President of a united Philippines. He was the third Supreme President (Spanish: Presidente Supremo; Tagalog: Kataás-taasang Pangulo) of the Katipunan, a secret revolutionary society. Its Supreme Council, led by the Supreme President, coordinated provincial and district councils. When the Katipunan went into open revolt in August 1896, Bonifacio had transformed it into a de facto revolutionary government with him as its head. While the term Katipunan remained, Bonifacio's government was also known as the Tagalog Republic (Spanish: República Tagala). Although the word Tagalog refers to a specific ethno-linguistic group, Bonifacio used it to denote all indigenous peoples of the Philippines in place of Filipino, which had colonial origins. In place of the Spanish Filipinas he coined the Tagalog title, Haring Bayang Katagalugan ("Sovereign Tagalog Nation") for the new state.[8][9][10][11][12] Some historians contend that including Bonifacio as a past president would imply that Macario Sacay and Miguel Malvar should also be included.[13]…

    Philippine Government

    All atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The classical model of the atom consists of a positively charged nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, and a number of negatively charged electrons in orbit about the nucleus. The simplest form of the model pictures electrons as tiny particles which circle the nucleus in definite orbits similar to the orbits of the planets about the sun. Though this model is useful in visualizing electrical processes, it must be pointed out that it is quite inadequate for describing the details of atomic structure. These details can be explained with the methods of quantum mechanics, the branch of physics used to describe molecular and atomic phenomena. The usefulness of the orbital model of the atom is based upon the fact that the physical parameters of electrons are “quantized” and can take on only certain discrete values.…

    PH Economy

    The Republic of the Philippines is one among those list of developing economy and owns the possibility of being one of the fruitful nation in the next succeeding decades. Our country is highly expected to jump 27 places to become the 16th largest economy by the year of 2050 as projected by The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation International Bank. Resounding softly across the 7,100 islands that form the Philippines archipelago, the lilting strains of the country’s national anthem seem to be a reminder of a volatile past. This indeed is a country where invaders trampled its sacred shores, imposing colonization for more than three centuries. Freedom since then has been a thorny crown to wear and the years of toil under colonial masters and then despotic power hungry leaders have marred these pristine islands. Asia’s only predominantly Christian country, the Philippines enjoys one of the highest literacy rates in the world proving it in the large number of our call center agents whether an Information Technology graduate or not, and it would seem that economic prosperity is its destiny. But then man plays a cruel hand where destiny cannot. It has been the curse of the Philippines that its leaders have shorn the country of its value. Will the nation rise again? Perhaps, gentle as the wind that swirls across the country, it already has. The economy of the Philippines is an anomaly in the Asian region in that it has lagged behind other economies, such as those of Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. From a position as one of the wealthiest countries in Asia after World War II, sad to hear but we have to accept that the Philippines is now one of the poorest.…
