Why Richard “Dick” Gordon should be the Philippines’ next President

by Leave a Comment

A lot of people has associated me as being “Pro-Noynoy Aquino” for president and rightly so because I’ve sent a lot emails and has campaigned for Noynoy and Mar Roxas through social networking. I have even written a post “Noynoy Aquino for President in 2010” sometime in September 2009. I was originally pro-Noynoy only because of two reasons. First it was because I was originally pro-Mar Roxas, so when Mar Roxas stepped down to give way for the presidency of Noynoy Aquino then logically I would have to side with Noynoy. Secondly, although there were lots of good guys that were better than Noynoy Aquino in terms of a lot of things, however most of them are not “winnable.” Since Noynoy is the most “winnable” than he must be the most logical choice. I held a pro-Noynoy stance for several months until recently I realized that I was wrong. The choice of a leader should not be based on his “winability” (If there is ever such a word) but on his ability to lead the country. We should also … [Read more...]

by 2 Comments

My good friend and mentor, Prof. Manuel R. Riguera has written a long but very useful article for law students and bar exam candidates which he entitled “Advice for the bar examinee.”  Since law students also frequent this blog, I have asked his permission to feature the article here. Because of the length of the article, I have divided it into three parts. Prof. Manuel Riguera is a well known law professor, practitioner, book author and is review director of perhaps the most innovative bar review center in the Philippines, the Jurists Bar Review Center. Jurists pioneered the “coaching style bar exam review” trend now being copied by other bar review centers. Being a graduate of Jurists Bar review, I really appreciate the concept. I so loved the innovations implemented by Jurists that I wrote the articles “Applying blue ocean strategy in the Philippine bar exam review” and “10 reasons why I love Jurists Bar review Center.” I had also the pleasure of serving as bar exam coach at … [Read more...]

Stock market investing seminar in Cebu this April 2010

by 10 Comments

My good friend Claire S. Quiray a stock market analyst informed me that she will be conducting a stock market seminar in Cebu this coming April 21, 22 and 23 at the Baseline Complex Restaurant, Juana Osmena Cebu City, Cebu. Unlike most stock market seminars which only focuses on Technical analysis, this series of seminars presents a good balance between fundamental analysis and technical analysis. With the inclusion of Seminar 3, Claire takes this  further by going deep into fundamental analysis as she introduces the companies in the Philippine stock exchange, their management and other things you need to know about the companies you are investing in. To me this is the brief yet most comprehensive seminar that strips away the academics and the hard to understand jargon behind investing in the stock market. This no-non sense series of seminars gives you a practical down to earth knowledge on how to invest in the Philippine stock market. The first seminar is on technical analysis … [Read more...]
