salamat jan jan.

pero kung ako mupili ganahan ko ug mubo mubo, kay dili dali makit an.  hehhe. sauna akong mga friends gagmay , mao na yukog ko kay kinahanglang mudungo kaayo kung muchika.  unya mauwaw ko kung taas.

sa pinas man gud, hasta lalaki mga gagmay generally.

diri ang mga german, cut an sila ug gagmay.  experience na sa akong mga pinay friends diri nga scholar sad. unya daghan mag tuo nila nga underage, mao kung mupalit mi ug beer, pangayuan sila ug ID.

mas ganahan unta ko ug mga petite, kay cute.  mas type na sila diri.

but you cannot imagine gelyan nga ang mga babae diri, muabot ug 190 even 2 meters. kuyawan ko mutan aw

so you mean first year college are not mentally prepared for university or college,this is a joke,we filipinos have a good foundation in education,job mismatch is the only reason the govt can use to ease the global problem for job losses,site an example what the govt can help to those OFW who lost their jobs,offered training at TESDA for more qualification,is this the right thing to offer?how about offering and finding jobs somewhere else or offer money assistance for their family instead..what about their plans to make the nursing course to 5 years course?unbeleivable idea..

basaha ra gud nag usob?

Kanus nahimong lait ang constructive nga correction?  ako to siya nga gi point out, para maka realize siya nga ang quality of education sa pilipinas, dili igo to be competetive.
nanghambog man siya mismo nga kuyaw ang education sa pilipinas, unbelievable kuno.

unya, dili man niya matarong iyang eninglis?

sa laing bahin, kontento ra diay ta?

nga tigpadala ta ug domestic helper? construction worker?

meaning, kita ang kinakuyawan sa tanang domestic helper? construction worker?

simple nga punto windgate!

Muingun diay ka nga kuyaw ang edukasyon sa Pinas, kung ang usa ka Pilipino, kuyaw mu file ug hollow blocks?

dili nimo ma measure ang quality of education sa pilipinas pinaagi sa OFW. kay ngano?

skill based ni siya gani!!

Training ba? kasabot? gitudloan diay ta sa university manglaba?mamplantsa?mag file ug hollow blocks?

exception ang mga nurses, skilled workers na sila, pero degree holders.. mga engineer sad.

pero ang bulk sa atong skilled workers, construction workers, domestic helpers, technicians.
informal education man ng ila-- training.

atong gihisgutan , formal education man? di ba?

wala ka nakasabot.

ingun ka nga maayo ang education sa pinas ang mupamatood ani mga OFWs. ang akong giingon skilled workers ang nagdaghan. unya dili ni siya maoy atong basihan sa quality of education.

ang gi diskusyunan man gud, quality of education!!!???

klaro na ba

asa ni nga lungsod?

The quality of education is of course not only measured through English Proficiency but If we do claim that our English proficiency is good enough based on international standards,  we should think twice.

middle east?  tan awa ang record the Department of Labor . mas gikinahanglan ug skilled workers sa middle east.

wala diay intawun nimo kwentahan atong mga domestic helper? construction workers? they come in bulks intawun no.

base your arguments according to facts kay palamoot.

skilled ofw mas daghan kay sa dili? i doubt it. try the middle east...

mao dili ta manghambog, because experience is the best teacher! Of course no, national pride nato nga english speaking country ta, pero daghan mahagbong sa IELTS. pwera sa maayo nga naka pasar.

Dili ka manghambog kung wala kay ipanghambog.

dili ko basin gipahid nimo imung kamot nga gikan sa imung itlog gikorikong.

ako bell,

sige kog utong utong, kay abe nakog muguwa na ang bata, pag hinda pa tubol ra man diay?!!!

ikaw sad datu, pang hugas sa kamot, kay ginoo ko ang mikrobiyo.

kalami sa saging guwang.

maayo kung matulog, pero dili gani gihapun kay kusog kaayo muhagok! unya mag nganga pa matulog, dapat sudlan ug time bomb.

Datu ayaw kalimot, manghugas ng kamay bago kumain. sabi ng matatanda!
unya kanang imung korikong ipatan aw na sa albulario, basin gibarang ka.

ikaw man gud datu, kaliwat ug mawmag! sa amua pa, espat! dili kinahanglan ug korente kay eveready nga battery!

pero asa man muguwa? sa baba?

nganung dili nimo suwayan mag siga imung mata murag mawmag?

very sunny today.

unya ang mga lalaki sigeg kuot kuot sa iyang itlog nga gikorikong? diresto ug kaon, walay panhunaw? unsa man ?

i baked chocolate cake. made some chiken soup and stayed at home.

survey sa imung igot igot?

ikaw datu, pwede ka mag siga imung mata kung matulog, pero ang imung katre naay tabon tabla unya dapat, nag barong ka!

ang kaparat sa mga Pilipino, sigeg gadali.  pwede man unta ug taas taasan gamay kanang highschool ba pareha sa ubang nasud. para inig tung tung ug kolehiyo, mature na sila.

Kadtong comment nako nga daghan first year students nga dili mentally and psychologically ready for university education, based on personal experience to siya as a teacher.

Imagine ka, nag teach ko sauna ug mixed group (sagol tanan nga kurso), maglisud ka kay ang comprehension sa uban hinay.

So ang ending intawun nako.  Sigeg balik balik..

Kung muingon ka nga maayo ang foundation sa atong education, dili unta gabitay atong mga estudiyante sa mga achievement tests.

dili unta muhinaway si terry hatcher sa mga pinoy doctors kung maayo pa atong reputation?

ang OFW imung gi ingon , skilled workers ang nag daghan.

nganung mauwaw man ta muangkon oi kung tinood. mag hinambog ta nga kuyaw ta compared sa ubang nasud bisan gabitay diay ta?

ang punto lang intawun nako, nga ang mga first year college students sa pilipinas, kasagaran, dili pa mentally ready!!

ang ironic ana, mao nga maghinambog ta lihiro ta mu eninglis unyag, pag bukad sa bunsod, wala diay isda nga migawas puro, kasag.

personal experience nako no? duro ko hinambog nga ang pinas, is one of the best english speaking countries in asia, when a friend of mine heard a pinay speaking english.. he asked me, are you sure?

dili na siya mole manay, langaw nga in pilit sa iyang baga nga nawung!

Good foundation in Education? That's why Filipinos are second to the last in the entire of Southeast Asia for Math and Sciences in primary and elementary level, because we have a good foundation in education.

Well, "good" is relative.  Maybe good for the stone age era.

Are you a first year college student?

Please constructively consider the following suggested corrections:
first year college - first year college students (you mean)
site an example - cite an example
unbeleivable - unbelievable
the global problem for - the global problem of

Please always take note that every sentence must have a subject and a predicate.  This is basic in English.  Very simple to follow.


Are you sure that majority of the Filipino first year college students are capable of a collegiate English listening and reading comprehension and writing proficiency?

Offering money assistance to the family? funny.

News are of course affected by the political orientation of the writer.  If we notice, news are presented in different light by different media organizations.  Sensationalization of the news is common not only in the Philippines but in the entire world.  We cannot blame the Filipino media for the short comings of our politicians.  They are there to tell a story, and hopefully the truth. 

The social responsibility of the media is very wide since this molds public opinion.  Without the live coverage of the impeachment trial of Erap, people would not be going on the streets to oust him.  Yes, political news stirs emotions most especially in a countrywhich lingers into poverty.  But the freedom of the press and of expression are the main features of our democracy.  It serves as a check and balance on the politicians and on the society we live in.  If the media is controlled, by anyone else, then we lose the very main essence of democracy.

When an american commentator said that he hopes that Obama will fail, he was not jailed.  Remember.

http://www.gmanews.tv/video/38548/QTV-Job-mismatch-hounds-applicants-despite-job-vacancies

According to this link, one of the main reasons of unemployment or underemployment in the Philippines is job mismatch which means that the academic qualifications of the filipinos do not seem to match the demands of the job market.

One good system I have learned here in Germany is that kids cannot just simply choose the course they want, this must match with their mental abilities and propensity.  Meaning if you are very bad in Math, it would be hard for you to grab a "platz" , which literally means place of space connotating a limited place at the university.

On the otherhand, Filipinos normally follow trends as what is "hot" abroad, thereby over producing nurses, etc.. 

It is about time that the CHED reviews the curriculum, discarding unnecessary subjects and give more focus to practical knowledge than theory.

There is also a need to reinforce highschool and elementary education.  I am a teacher at the university and I have personally noticed first year students who are not yet mentally ready for university education.

It would might as well be helpful to integrate foreign languages as an elective.  This is of course expensive because there are only few foreign language teachers in the Philippines but this would give us a very good advantage.

We already have good reputation abroad, let us not waste it. 

Only through a better education , we can be globally competetive.

hala tita, one year old ko ani. hehehe

wow ate tess.. grabeh ka bukad akong atay, pwedeng himoong inatayan ug dugo dugo  hehhe.. salamat ate..

i feel so sad.

And Way Nada, while you are talking about political agenda of the leftist, what else do they actually get should they support Solar and Wind Energy?

You can only say, that there is a political agenda, when they in return political, economical benefit from it?

You cannot even point out why.

and yes, it was a cut and paste posting,  I even credited Spegiel for that.  I am not a politician, nor an environmentalist, I can only based my arguments on what I know based on postings!

The irony is, if Germany, a highly developed country is even proposing Nuclear Power Plants to be phased out, we in the Philippines want to start it here again.

There is a saying that goes, " to learn from ones mistakes is good, but to learn from others mistakes is better.

german experience ni manay!!!! read the arguments of min. gabriel. germany is phasing out nuclear power plants.

Weighing the Risks of Nuclear Power

SPIEGEL speaks to German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel and Utz Claassen, CEO of Germany's third-largest energy provider EnBW, about whether nuclear energy can provide a way out of the climate crisis.

Editor's Note: SPIEGEL ran the following interview in a special issue on new energies published earlier this year. In light of the current debate in Germany over the future of nuclear energy, the editors of SPIEGEL INTERNATIONAL have chosen to publish an English translation of the interview. The discussion, however, took place before the recent incidents at the Krümmel and Brunsbüttel plants in northern Germany.

Difficult choices: Does nuclear power offer the best way out of the climate catastrophe or does the answer lie in renewable energies like wind power?

Difficult choices: Does nuclear power offer the best way out of the climate catastrophe or does the answer lie in renewable energies like wind power?
SPIEGEL: Mr. Gabriel, in light of the threat of a climate catastrophe, many argue that -- as long as fossil fuels like coal and natural gas continue to pollute the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and renewable energies have been insufficiently developed -- we should continue to use nuclear energy. Would that not be a sensible path to follow?

Gabriel: Renewable energy sources are already an important part of Germany's energy supply today -- and their share is growing faster than forecast. In purely quantitative terms, they replace one nuclear power plant every year. Furthermore, we're not phasing out nuclear energy from one day to the next. It will continue to be used in Germany for the next 14 years; that decision has been made. The question over which opinions diverge is how to assess the risks associated with extending the lifespans of the nuclear power plants that are still online. Proponents of nuclear energy always act as if we were faced with a choice between the plague and cholera, a choice between the risks of nuclear energy and the dangers of the climate crisis. But as a politician, I don't want to choose between two diseases -- I want to find the path to good health.

FROM THE MAGAZINE
Find out how you can reprint this DER SPIEGEL article in your publication.
Claassen: The environment minister's choice of words is inappropriate. The comparison to a "choice between the plague and cholera" is exaggerated. This attention-grabbing comparison to a disease is unfair to those who have worked in nuclear power plants for decades and, in doing so, have made a considerable contribution to climate protection. Many people have invested their entire careers, their expertise, their life's work in that area. Of course we have to balance the residual risk of an accident in the area of nuclear energy and the climate-protecting effect of atomic power.

Gabriel: The issue is not about a residual risk. That expression makes the problem seem harmless. The issue is that of the gigantic danger of damage in the case of an accident. Forsmark (the Vattenfall-owned plant in Sweden) has just shown us what sorts of things can happen with long running times. The point is that the narrowly averted accident did not occur in Ukraine or Russia, but in a technologically advanced country like Sweden.

Claassen: Nuclear energy has been employed in a safe way for decades in Germany.

Gabriel: Of course everyone who works in this industry is firmly convinced that nuclear energy can be kept under control. But we have had many serious hazardous incidents in Germany too -- despite the fact that all technicians had previously said they could not occur.

SPIEGEL: As far as the people outside the nuclear power plants are concerned, their worries about safety are what dominates the issue in their minds. Are you, Mr. Claassen, seizing on the opportunity provided by the fear of a climate crisis in order to repress the fear of a meltdown?

Claassen: Of course people's worries need to be taken seriously. One has to seriously balance the residual risk of a nuclear accident -- whatever the correct quantification of that risk -- and the problem of climate change, which threatens the existence of all of humanity.

SPIEGEL: The safety risks also include the fact that it remains completely unclear where nuclear waste, which stays radioactive for as long as a million years, should be sent for final storage.

Gabriel: Since the 1970s, 130,000 barrels of nuclear waste have been buried in a so-called experimental final storage facility in the former salt pit of Asse (in the German state of Lower Saxony), not far from where I live. When I went in there for the first time as a 17-year-old, I asked: If two of three adjacent salt pits have suffered floods, what makes you believe that no water will seep into the third salt pit, the one you're now packing nuclear waste into? We were given many lectures on why that couldn't happen. Twelve cubic meters (424 cubic feet) of water have been flowing in there every day since 1988. No one knows how that can be stopped.

SPIEGEL: Mr. Claassen, what kind of advantage does nuclear energy provide?

Claassen: In our country, nuclear energy helps prevent the emissions of 150 million tons of CO2 every year. Carbon dioxide emissions would be that much higher if, instead of nuclear power plants, coal-fired power plants with the same capacity had been built.

Utz Claassen, the CEO of Energie Baden-Württemberg (EnBW), Germany's third-largest energy provider, believes the schedule for phasing out nuclear energy set up by Germany's government in 2000 is too ambitious.
Zoom
DPA

Utz Claassen, the CEO of Energie Baden-Württemberg (EnBW), Germany's third-largest energy provider, believes the schedule for phasing out nuclear energy set up by Germany's government in 2000 is too ambitious.
Gabriel: We are convinced that we can bring the dangers of climate change under control in a much better way using instruments other than the use of nuclear energy. With the share of renewable energy sources on the electricity market currently lower than 12 percent, we're already preventing (emissions of) about 100 million tons of CO2. Assuming a conservative estimate -- not an optimistic one -- it is realistic that we can achieve a situation, by 2020, in which renewable energy sources reach a share of at least 26 or 27 percent.

If we had invested even a fraction of the many billions that we have put into nuclear energy into research into renewable energy sources, then we would neither have a CO2 problem today, nor would we face the risk of radioactivity.

Claassen: It may be true that we would have made more progress in the area of renewable energy sources. But most renewable energy sources do not have the capacity to provide the base load.

SPIEGEL: "Base load" is the term for the output constantly required by the electricity grid.

Claassen: Without nuclear energy, we would have to cover the base load almost exclusively by means of fossil fuels, namely black coal and brown coal, meaning that we would have emitted more CO2 today, not less, even if it had been proven possible to develop renewable energy source technologies more quickly. A study by the German Energy Agency (DENA) -- not a study by the energy industry, that is, but one by the center of competence for energy efficiency in Germany -- came to the following conclusion: When 37,000 megawatts of wind power capacity have been installed, that will make 6 percent of those fossil fuel or nuclear plant capacities that can provide the base load obsolete. So 2,300 conventional megawatt blocks of coal or nuclear energy could then be abandoned.

SPIEGEL: That's not even 2 percent of today's electricity capacity.

Claassen: Roughly estimated, you would need about 10,000 wind turbines to reproduce one large nuclear plant. That should be clear to everyone who also bears in mind the landscape and other issues.

Gabriel: Those kinds of horrific figures are used to try to scare people. The DENA study on the electricity grid recommends developing as many as 20,000 megawatts of capacity in the form of offshore facilities -- at a distance from the coast where they can't even be seen from an island. That requires expanding the grid by 850 kilometers (528 miles) of AC power lines. It's the energy providers, by the way, who are responsible for doing so. That would provide stability for the grid and increase the capacity to provide the base load.

Claassen: When it comes to renewable energy sources, we have the capacity to produce the base load in the case of biomass and large hydroelectric facilities, but not in the case of solar power, wind power and other sources. That's why we have to raise the question of how we will cover the base load in the foreseeable future, for as long as there are no other technological options available.

Gabriel: You're reducing the use of renewable energy sources to electricity production. But the base load argument isn't even valid there. With biogas, we can produce the base load, and by expanding offshore windpower off the coast of northern Germany we of course become considerably more independent from the problems of the wind power facilities we have on the land. You're also completely ignoring the uses of bio-energies when it comes to fuels. Nuclear energy does nothing at all for us in this area. This means that if we really want to do something for climate protection, we have to consider the complete spectrum of energy resources.

bracketing the promotion of solar and wind energy to the leftist is over generalization.  not all people on the streets rallying for renewable environment friendly energy are leftist.

because if that is the case, then they should be the manufacturers of wind turbines and solar pannels?

are they?

Way Nada, I think you have modified your previous post.  it just makes me wonder why would solar and wind energy benefit the leftist?

and if you say they are promoting it, in which way would it also benefit them?  or simply way nada, why are they promoting solar and wind energy?

Umali was very beautiful (Bb. World) but simang ang tubang sad.

Moot kaayo, she was asked of a simple question,  "What is your idea of fun?" .

She answered," ....... being who I am, that is my idea of fun. "

hehheh

for me, rich had the best body.  very stunning.  pero namubo siya tan awun kay tag as kaayo iyang tapad.

Umali and Manalo were 5"10.

Kung brightanay, Regina Hahn from Ateneo gave the best answer.

Sayang kay bet siya that night, daghan siyag award.

nasayup kog type kiams..

she said, month of 11.

basta tan awa lang. maot man sad iyang question.

Wrong, she was first runner up.

She was not able to answer the question very well.  Her question was, "What is your lucky number and why?"

She answered 11. " Because in the month of 11, I had my first boyfriend". hehehe
It is not easy to be on stage though.

watch the pageant www.ebenta.com

I did not understand when she said, "month of 11"? Has anyone seen the pageant?

Please close this thread, we dont want to be the cause of confusion and bogus personalities.

it just bothers me, how did her fiance get in contact with TB? somebody informed him about this forum? Pardon my ignorance.

and please, please respect the victim. let her rest.

oh he/she reacted. huh?
