Entrepreneur*- Nature or Nurture (origins of the entrepreneur)

Icon Written by Atty. Fred on Thursday, 26 October 2006

Icon Written by Atty. Fred on Thursday, 26 October 2006

The Supreme Court dismissed the recent petition (Lambino, et al. vs. COMELEC) seeking to revise the Constitution through people’s initiative. In a 52-page decision, the SC ruled in part that the proposal to shift the present bicameral-presidential system to a unicameral-parliamentary system is contrary to the Constitution.

This site is based on the cool K2 theme (note: we’re obviously using another theme now). It’s pretty obvious but I just have to say it again (let’s just say it’s a way of supporting something great). The FAQ at Binary Bonsai says that the chances of a 3-column K2 being released is slim and [...]

Icon Written by Atty. Fred on Monday, 23 October 2006

I stumbled on an article entitled “The Meaning of Life for Dummies” through reddit. I’m reminded of a site discussing its brush with intellectual property litigation for using the “For Dummies” phrase in “Ulysses for Dummies” (read here).

This post was originally intended to discuss sitemeter and analytics, which logically follows the previous posts on platforms and search engines. After the Baguio weekend vacation, however, I’ve decided to consolidate and include everything done so far in this site.

A Gentleman-Officer’s Dilemma

Icon Written by Atty. Fred on Sunday, 22 October 2006

There is always a point in our career when one experiences a vacuum and finds himself not happy anymore. It is at this point when one has to make a choice of coexisting in pain or leave in order to find meaning in one’s life to live by your principles. – Col. Ariel Querubin, on [...]



The Guru of Destabilization

Icon Written by Atty. Fred on Saturday, 21 October 2006

It seems to me he (Bernas) is the guru of destabilization. Everything he says is always against the President. The problem with Bernas is that he thinks he’s the only one who knows the law. . . the Constitution.” – DOJ Sec. Raul Gonzales, lashing out against the highly-respected Constitutionalist, Fr.
