  • The 16Th Congress
    CongressWatch Report No. 176 Report No. 176 17 June 2013 The 16th Congress In the Senate The 16th Congress will open on 22 July, the same day that President Benigno Aquino III delivers his fourth State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA). The Senate will likely have a complete roster for the first time since the 12th Congress. It may be recalled that during the 2001 elections, 13 senators were elected, with the last placer serving the unfinished term of Sen. Teofisto Guingona who was then appointed as vice president. The chamber had a full roll of 24 senators for only a year, due to the appointment of Sen. Blas Ople as Foreign Affairs Secretary on 23 July 2002, and due to the passing of Sen. Renato Cayetano on 25 June 2003. The 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Congresses did not have full membership, primarily because a senator did not complete the six-year term due to being elected to another post.1 In the 2013 midterm elections last May, all of the six senators seeking re-election made it to the top 12, while two were members of the House of Representatives in the 15th Congress. The twelve senators-elect are: SENATOR PARTY PREVIOUS POSITION 1. ANGARA, Juan Edgardo M. LDP Representative (Aurora, lone) 2. AQUINO, Paolo Benigno IV A. LP Former chairperson, National Youth Commission 3. BINAY-ANGELES, Nancy S. UNA 4. CAYETANO, Alan Peter S. NP Outgoing senator 5. EJERCITO, Joseph Victor G.

  • Physics Alumni Tracking Study
    DLSU Physics Alumni Tracking Study The Physic Alumni Tracer was initiated to determine the present conditions of the DLSU Physics Graduates from 1978 to the current year. The tracer would like to initially verify the following: 1. The effectiveness and relevance of a physics degree as a resource and credential for employment/job placement upon graduation from DLSU 2. The relevance of physics degree and research the current job function and professional development of the physics graduates in their respective fields. 3. The professional status and ranks of the physics graduates in their respective employments. 4. To assess the gender awareness of physics graduates in their respective professions. Based on the tracer study of the whereabouts of the physics graduates from 1978 to present, the pie chart in Figure 1 shows the percent distribution of the physics graduates where the highest is from Medicine (24%) and the lowest is the BPO (2%). Almost all graduates from the BS PREMED Physics program takes up Medicine while graduates of the BS Physics, BS Physics with Computer Applications, BS Physics with Medical Instrumentation, and BS Physics with specialization in Materials Science program takes up Master’s degrees, PhD, and Doctor of Engineering. Some of these graduates also goes into the IT (19%) business. Since graduates of the BS Physics with minor in Economics and Finance are just starting up their careers, data on the said programs are very low at the meantime.

  • Abu Sayyaf: Target of Philippine-U.S. Anti-Terrorism Cooperation
    Order Code RL31265 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Abu Sayyaf: Target of Philippine-U.S. Anti-Terrorism Cooperation Updated April 8, 2003 Larry Niksch Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Abu Sayyaf: Target of Philippine-U.S. Anti-Terrorism Cooperation Summary From January 2002 until July 31, 2002, the United States committed nearly 1,300 troops to the Philippines and $93 million in military aid to assist Philippine armed forces (AFP) in operations against the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in the southern Philippines. The U.S. action, dubbed Operation Balikatan, partly was in response to Philippine President Arroyo’s strong support of the United States following the September 11 al Qaeda attack on the United States. A historic Muslim resistance to non-Muslim rulers broke out into massive rebellion in the 1970s. Two large resistance groups, a Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and a Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) fought the Philippine government into the 1990s and entered into tenuous truces in 1996 and 2001 respectively. Abu Sayyaf emerged in 1990 as a splinter group composed of former MNLF fighters and Filipinos who had fought in Afghanistan. Abu Sayyaf resorted to terrorist tactics, including kidnapings, executions of civilians, and bombings. As Operation Balikatan began, Abu Sayyaf continued to hold two Americans, a missionary couple, the Burnhams. Abu Sayyaf had links with Osamu bin Laden’s al Qaeda organization in the early 1990s, but Philippine officials have given conflicting assessments of current links. U.S. officials asserted that there is evidence of links between Abu Sayyaf and terrorist groups.

Santos, Jr. and Paz Verdades M. Santos and Paz Verdades Soliman M. Santos, Jr. Primed and Purposeful: Armed Groups and Human Security Efforts in the Philippines pro- vides the political and historical detail necessary to understand the motivations and probable outcomes of conflicts in the country.
