This agency’s standard is fortified even more with the thrust of H. E. President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III for the workforce of Philippine government bureaucracy to zealously work and walk in this path. In the performance of its tasks, this principal law office of the Government in extending free legal assistance to indigent persons in criminal, civil, labor, administrative and other quasi-judicial cases, does its share in paving the road toward the attainment of the Aquino administration’s quest for a nation that is free from the shackles of poverty and claws of corruption, whose realization requires sacrifice, honest and effective governance from the people in the bureaucracy. His Excellency President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III’s statements both inspire and challenge the whole workforce of the PAO to exceed their best performance yet as public servants. During his inauguration, His Excellency said, “Our foremost duty is to lift the nation from poverty through honest and effective governance”, and in his State of the Nation Address (SONA), he intimated, “We must understand that now is a time for sacrifice.

    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:46 19 May 2016 Comments on Terrorism and Violence in Southeast Asia ... "Terrorism and Violence in Southeast Asia brings together in a single volume the leading authorities on politically motivated transnational violence in one of the key theatres of the war on terror. The compelling range of contributors offer insightful analysis combined with lucidly written and historically nuanced accounts of the evolution, appeal, and capacity of transnational terrorist groups in Southeast Asia. Paul J. Smith has compiled an edited collection that will be essential reading both for students as well as those with a more general interest in this important, yet too often neglected region." -David Martin Jones, University of Queensland "This book offers us considerable insight and fact-based information on the issues surrounding terrorism .... While the chapters in this volume mainly focus on Southeast Asia, many of the themes apply to both organized crime and terrorism more broadly. This book should be useful for both academics and policy makers. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in these crucially important issues." -Margaret E. Beare, Nathanson Centre for the Study of Organized Crime and Corruption, York University, Toronto "This timely and informative study of terrorism and transnational security threats in Southeast Asia is unique in examining the threats and challenges from different national perceptions and in consideration of complex political, social, and economic factors affecting policymaking. Moreover, it highlights regional vulnerabilities to international violence and Islamic militancy.... The incisive insights, research, and new policy directions suggested by the authors of this illuminating volume warrant the priority attention of government policy makers, including the United States." -Rear Admiral L.R.

  • HIGHLIGHTS International Conference on The
    HIGHLIGHTS International Conference on the Adoption of Biotech Crops in the Developing World: Case Studies of Farmers from China, India, and the Philippines Hyatt Hotel, Manila and Concepcion, Tarlac, Philippines April 1-2, 2013 International Conference on the Adoption of Biotech Crops in the Developing World: Case Studies of Farmers from China, India, and the Philippines Hyatt Hotel, Manila and Concepcion, Tarlac, Philippines April 1-2, 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Of the developing countries in Asia that grow biotech crops, China, India, and the Philippines have had the most extensive experience. They represent an unmatched wealth of critical information and insights towards a better understanding of the social environment that favors biotech crop adoption. Developing countries can learn from their experiences by knowing the adoptors of biotech crops, what factors influenced their adoption, and what significant changes have occurred in farmers’ lives. The John Templeton Foundation, International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA), the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST Philippines ), and the Agricultural Biotechnology Support Project II (ABSPII) co- organized a conference to present key findings of the research project Adoption and Uptake Pathways of GM/Biotech Crops by Small-scale, Resource-poor Asian Farmers in China, India, and the Philippines and their implications to biotech adoption particularly in developing countries. Key researchers from the Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy (CCAP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Indian Society of Cotton Improvement (ISCI), and the University of the Philippines Los Baños’ College of Development Communication (UPLB-CDC); and farmers from each of the three countries discussed the highlights of the research results and shared experiences in growing Bt corn (in the Philippines) and Bt cotton (in China and India).

    APEC Summit 2015, a huge success n a post-APEC 2015 scenario assessment, Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief, Police Director IGeneral Ricardo C. Marquez, declared the hosting of the APEC Summit successful and orderly with no untoward incident except for some clashes between anti-riot policemen and militant groups. PDG Marquez has tasked the APEC-Security Task Force to identify best practices and the security aspects that could be improved on for similar big events that will be hosted by the country in the future. “We put our best foot forward in the historic event and we are very happy with the results,” PDG Marquez said as he thanked the involvement and cooperation of the twenty member-economies in the security preparations that started as early as December last year. The National Capital Region Police Offce (NCRPO) deployed 18,000 of its personnel and were placed on full alert level as the police and military tightened their watch on seaports, airports, rail systems and vital installations, particularly in areas where APEC activities are to be held, as the world leaders started arriving in Manila. USA and Russia. Specifcally, they had requested that there should be no other movement when their leaders start using the roads. All 21 leaders/heads of state, including President Benigno S. Aquino III, were billeted in 14 fve-star hotels located on Roxas Boulevard, Makati Central Business District and Ortigas, thus, the entire vicinity around Roxas Boulevard and the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) at Cultural Center Complex where the two-day Summit meeting was held was cordoned off while the combined security forces threw a tight security blanket over the cities of Manila and Pasay to ensure that no breaches would occur.
