Call for papers: International Conference on OBE and TNE: One with ASEAN 2015

International Conference on Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) and Transnational Education (TNE):

One with ASEAN 2015

7-8 May 2015

Crown Legacy Hotel

Corner Montinola Street, Kisad Road Baguio City, Philippines 2600

Education as a key societal sector in the Philippines is significantly affected with ASEAN 2015. With its motto, “One vision, one identity, one community,” ASEAN seeks to establish a regional community this 2015 among its 10 member countries. Understandably, education lies at the core of ASEAN’s development process that contributes to the creation of a knowledge-based society, community building and enhancement of ASEAN competitiveness. Under the third pillar of ASEAN Community – more specifically ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) – member-states are expected to invest heavily on its people’s education. Given the Philippines’ membership in the ASEAN, our educational system will definitely be affected as it has far-ranging ramifications in terms of employment, jobs and leadership trainings, among others.

We Can End Poverty, So Why Don't We?

Fight poverty: The Blue Mile

By: Daniel Altman on July 17, 2012, 9:30 AM published on 'big think' except image

Almost everyone agrees that poverty is not a good thing. Almost everyone would like to end poverty. Almost everyone would benefit from ending poverty. So why don't we?

To find out, let's look at the problem through the lens of game theory. In every political cycle, our leaders face a choice: how much should they do to fight poverty, a lot or a little? If they do a lot, they'll benefit almost everyone. But if they do a little, they'll have resources left over for their other priorities.

Creative excuses: Original thinkers more likely to cheat
Study finds creative people less honest than more pedestrian thinkers

WASHINGTON -- Creative people are more likely to cheat than less creative people, possibly because this talent increases their ability to rationalize their actions, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

Korean choir sings "Bayan Ko" - Pilipinas

(13Dec2011 by baylander editor)
     It's really amazing to see foreigners singing one of Philippines' patriotic songs just like the one below. Performed by a Korean choir, the "Bayan Ko" song is originally written by José Corazón de Jesús in 1929, and set to music by Constancio de Guzman. The song was written as a protest during the American occupation, now it is common in protest rallies and demonstrations. 
     Well, whatever it is, the message is powerful enough to ponder, "love of country".

     I must learn to love my country. I hope all of us.^ Thanks to somosophils for posting.
