ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:36:34 +0000

A Little Backgrounder for the Forgetful Everyone knows I’ve never shown much affection for this current administration. Although there have been a few occasions on this blog where I lauded government efforts and even Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for that matter, most of them were done in passing. Why? I’m sure you have a ready answer there so [...]

Dumbing our kids down, damning their future

All I can say is that if you’ve never “used” Calculus in your daily life, you are not making full use of the knowledge you have been introduced to. Beyond the figures or the nauseating equations, the study of Mathematics is a study of “possibilities”, of “origins” and of “derivations”. It is, as aptly put by [...]

In Response to @Cocoy re: Noynoy

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:15:56 +0000

There is no greater honor for a blogger like me than be dedicated an entire post as response to one article I’ve written, specially if it’s from no less than one of those bloggers I have great respect for. It doesn’t even matter if that blogger disagrees with me or not. True to his blog’s tagline, [...]

Tulong Balik Eskwela Post-Ondoy/Pepeng

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:48:54 +0000

I am a firm believer of the power of education in transforming lives unlike any other service that the government can provide. We need not look elsewhere for answers to eradicate poverty and corruption. Education transforms not only the economy but also the prevailing mindset of a nation — the answer to the biggest problem [...]

The Problem with Noynoy

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:04:53 +0000

The Problem With Noynoy becoming Philippine president in 2010 And so it is that the weary people have finally stopped drifting on this piece of log called “Philippine politics”. And so it is that the apathetic are suddenly waking up, coming out and “organizing” this and that. And so it is that the elites are seemingly [...]

First, a few quotes on asking questions: People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence. — Jack Canfield The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. [...]

Blog Action Day 2009: Climate Change

Photo by DanielJames A recent article about FTC issuing rules for bloggers regarding endorsements shared on Facebook and Twitter by Cocoy is a matter of significance for all bloggers right now.
