Recommended books for the Philippine bar exams review
I've received several requests asking me what law books I used in reviewing for the Philippine bar exams. Now that I have a blog I don't have to enumerate them one by one to every single person that ask me that question. All I have to do is give them the url of this site and tell them to check this post. Basically, there are two sets of books that I will be giving. The first set are the ones that are to be used during the 6 months review. (From April to August) while the next set should be used during the "pre-week" review. (1st week of August and within September) Take note that these are the books I used. I am not saying that any of these books are more superior than others. For those who want to follow my lead then go ahead. But if you find a material that suites you best than use that instead. Books are like food, one man's meat may be another man's poison. There are some books that I like which you may not like. You should know how to select a material that suites you … [Read more...]
How to invest in the Philippine Stock Market – Part 1
Part 1 - Basic principles that each prospective investors should understand A lot of people have asked me on whether they should invest in the Philippine stock market. Most of those who asked also wanted to know how to start doing it. I do not know if they are really serious about investing or if they are merely curious about it since it has been given emphasis lately considering its very positive performance. Investing in the Philippine stock market is not for the faint hearted. As an investor you must have expectations as to how much you are going to earn for a certain vehicle of investment. Such is expectation is measured in terms of how much your money will grow at a certain period of time. (Most usually this is measured in interest per annum) Because the Philippine Stock market is in its all time high for several months now, people think that they should join the band wagon. They do not even understand the basic principles involved nor do they understand how the stock market … [Read more...]
Why you should use the Opera browser
For those of you still using Internet Explorer to surf the web you should know that Internet Explorer is not the only internet browser on earth. The fact that most people use internet explorer does not make it the most fast, secure or the best browser available today. It just so happens that because Microsoft dominates the Operating system battle with its Windows Operating system that Internet Explorer has become quite popular. The latest statistics reveal that more than 60 % of the world uses Internet Explorer as its browser. Most people would agree that Bill Gates’ “evil empire” profits too much from selling its wares, but sadly they continue to use Microsoft software without making an effort to shift to Open Source or other cheaper software. However this is not a Bill Gates bashing post and I do not hate Bill Gates nor do I hate Microsoft. There are lots of other browsers out there, Wikipedia has listed more than 30 browsers in the article“comparison of web browsers” Most experts … [Read more...]
The Controversial Prayer of Repentance
I received a forwarded email entitled "Nice Prayer" it claimed that several people were upset by the prayer offered at the Kansas “Senate” by a certain Pastor named Joe Wright senior pastor of the 2,500-member Central Christian Church in Wichita. As always, I don’t swallow all forwarded emails hook, line and sinker. I checked the internet on whether or not the prayer was an urban legend or not. It turned out that the story is true. However there were some revisions to the story as the email was passed from person to person. The prayer was really bold. It confronted people of their sins. That’s why it got a very controversial response from several members of the legislature and other people as well. In order to know why it was such a controversial prayer you might as well read it for yourself. This is the text of the original prayer delivered on January 23, 1996 by Pastor Joe Wright to the Kansas House of Representatives in Topeka: Heavenly Father, we come before you today … [Read more...]
