  • Yuchengco V. Sandiganbayan:* Ownership of Sequestered PLDT Shares
    Chapter 31 Yuchengco v. Sandiganbayan:* Ownership of Sequestered PLDT Shares The Facts Civil Case No. 0002 was filed by the Republic of the Philippines through the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG)[1] to recover ill-gotten wealth of the late former President, Ferdinand E. Marcos. Among the properties identified as ill-gotten were shares of stock in the Philippine Telecommunications Investment Corporation (PTIC): 76,779 shares in Ramon U. Cojuangco’s name; 21,525 in Imelda O. Cojuangco’s name; and 111,415 in that of Prime Holdings, Inc. (PHI). PTIC was the biggest stockholder of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, Inc. (PLDT), with over two million shares representing some 28 percent of the outstanding shares at the time Civil Case No. 0002 was filed. The Republic sought to recover, as part of the so-called ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses, the covered PLDT shares from Imelda O. Cojuangco, the Estate of Ramon U. Cojuangco, and PHI. Alfonso T. Yuchengco and Y Realty Corporation intervened, claiming that they were the rightful owners of PHI’s 46 percent shareholding in PTIC. Acting on the Motion of Imelda and Ramon Cojuangco, the Sandiganbayan resolved to sever the PLDT ownership issue from other claims in Civil Case No. 0002 and allowed a separate trial with respect only to the issue relating to the PLDT shares. In the course of the separate trial, interlocutory Orders of the Sandiganbayan were questioned before the Supreme Court in the three present consolidated Petitions: GR Nos. 149802 and 150320, filed by Yuchengco and Y Realty, challenged the Resolutions (1) denying their Motions to suspend trial pending discovery proceedings and to reset trial dates; and (2) declaring that they had waived their right to present evidence.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

  • A Comparative Case Study of Labor Disputes in the Philippines
    BEYOND MEDIATION BORDERS: A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY OF LABOR DISPUTES IN THE PHILIPPINES By Mary Jocelyn R. de la Cruz Submitted to Department of Political Science Central European University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Supervisor: Associate Professor Anil Duman CEU eTD Collection Vienna, Austria 2021 ABSTRACT In developing countries with liberalized trade regimes, the presence of an economic zone authority and the firm’s foreign ownership create sufficient conditions to successfully conclude a labor dispute mediation, as exemplified by the absence of strikes relapse. This theory is derived from a qualitative comparative case study of NutriAsia and Lakepower, a local and a foreign firm operating in the Philippines with divergent mediation results despite sharing similar prior conditions. Earlier studies illustrate how industrial peace is locally controlled where economic zone authorities play a pivotal role, that multinational firms locate in these zones to maximize their global value chain participation, and that some firms are more vulnerable against uninterrupted production and worker instability than others. The thesis extends these findings by offering a theoretical guidance that links the firm’s ownership nationality and local institutional terrain as determinants of state-led mediation outcomes. Additionally, the thesis finds that public and private economic zones affect local labor control regimes differently, and workers’ bargaining power differ according to the firm’s GVC participation. While recognizing the variance of labor dispute systems globally, the findings emphasize that establishing multiple formal channels to resolve industrial conflict can be ineffective if institutions from the local to the national level allow employers to devise specific strategies to evade accountability.
