    The AQUINO MANAGEMENT of the PRESIDENCY

    The AQUINO MANAGEMENT Of The PRESIDENCY IN THE FACE OF CRISIS Published by the Presidential Management Staff Office of the President Manila, Philippines June 1992 "Arm-chair critics and destabilizers have asked - can we survive despite all the problems that we suffer? My answer is definite yes! Yes, we will survive despite natural calamities, destabilization campaigns, insurgency, international crises and scathing criticism from those who should be talking less and working more. With full confidence in our people's resolve to sustain this freedom, we will survive. And we will grow". President Corazon C. Aquino Philippine League of Councilors First National Congress September 7, 1990 _________________________ INTRODUCTION THIS VOLUME OF The Aquino Management of the Presidency series seeks to document how President Corazon C. Aquino, the members of the Cabinet, and her closest advisers managed the crisis situations that confronted the Aquino governrnent. Not all the crisis situations are covered. The focus is on the seven putsches and related events which threatened the existence of the government or the unity of the armed forces. Chapter 1, entitled 'The Coup Attempts That Failed", covers crisis situations which started with the takeover of the Manila Hotel by the Marcos loyalists on July 6 to 7, barely four months after President Aquino assumed office, up to Black Saturday, April 18, 1987, when a band of rebel soldiers took over the Philippine Army headquarters. These were the jabs, as in boxing. Chapter 2, entitled 'The Military Putsches That Almost Succeeded", covers the punches: the bloody August 28, 1987 and the near fatal December 1989 coup attempts.

    Book Ii Property, Ownership, and Its Modifications

    CIVIL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES BOOK II PROPERTY, OWNERSHIP, AND ITS MODIFICATIONS Title I. — CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS (1) Defi nition of ‘Property’ in the Civil Code Under the Civil Code, property, considered as an object, is that which is, or may be, appropriated. (See Art. 414). (2) Defi nition of ‘Property’ as a Subject in a Law Course Considered as a subject or course in law, property is that branch of civil law which classifi es and defi nes the different kinds of appropriable objects, provides for their acquisition and loss, and in general, treats of the nature and consequences of real rights. [NOTE: Every right (derecho) has two elements — subjects (persons) and objects (properties). Since Book I of the Civil Code deals with Persons, it is logical that Property should be the subject matter of Book II.]. (3) ‘Thing’ Distinguished from ‘Property’ As used in the Civil Code, the word “thing” is apparently SYNONYMOUS with the word “property.’’ However, techni- cally, “thing” is broader in scope for it includes both appro- priable and non-appropriable objects. The planets, the stars, the sun for example, are “things’’ (cosas), but since we cannot appropriate them, they are not technically “property” (bienes). Air, in general, is merely a “thing,” but under certain condi- 1 CIVIL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES tions, as when a portion of it is placed in a container, it may be considered as property. [NOTE: Property involves not only material objects but also intangible things, like rights or credits.]. (4) Classifi cation of Things There are three kinds of things, depending on the nature of their ownership: (a) res nullius (belonging to no one) (b) res communes (belonging to everyone) (c) res alicujus (belonging to someone) Res Nullius These things belong to no one, and the reason is that they have not yet been appropriated, like fi sh still swimming in the ocean, or because they have been abandoned (res derelictae) by the owner with the intention of no longer owning them.
