It can be said that its enabling law, the EPIRA, formally shielded ERC’s independence from potential undue influence from any government body that exercises authority over it. As earlier discussed, the EPIRA created the ERC as an independent body that is not attached to, nor under the control or supervision of another government agency. The EPIRA does not likewise provide any formal coordination mechanism between the ERC and the DOE, the government agency that exercises supervision of the restructuring of the electric power industry. Thus, unlike in Ontario, where the OEB Act authorizes the Minister to issue directives on specified subjects to the OEB and requires the OEB to implement those directives, the DOE Secretary does not …show more content…
Thereafter, the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Philippine Congress, likewise threatened to abolish the ERC allegedly due to corruption among its officials. The House of Representatives is predominantly dominated by the coalition of the ruling party, the President’s party. The House of Representatives, however, eventually softened on its threat, but only granted the ERC a budget equivalent to PhP 1,000 or CAD 30. After much deliberation in the bicameral conference between the House of Representatives and the Philippine Senate, the Philippine Congress restored ERC’s budget to more manageable levels. Eventually, the Office of the President dismissed the Chairperson of the ERC for grave misconduct with respect to the procurement of audio-visual presentation project, and simple misconduct for renewing seven electric power purchase agreements and for appointing officers and personnel without the concurrence and approval of the rest of the commissioners (“Palace fires”, 2017). This recent experience only confirms that while the ERC’s independence as a quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative body is enshrined in its enabling legislation, this is not a guarantee that it will be independent of political processes. In this case, its independence as an institution was

All the research and work that I did for this project is going to help me with edTPA because it gave me an opportunity to learn about this principle that I will need to know to help children make goals for themselves. In rubric one of edTPA elementary handbook, it talks about how the candidate’s plan for instruction should have clear and consistent connections to the child’s related skills. The candidate should also use learning tasks to lead the students to independently apply the strategy and related skills. My project relates to this because I learned the importance of children setting moderately difficult goals and not goals that are too easy or too hard. To set a moderately difficult goal for a child I would have to know their skills they

In the course ENC 1101 I learned how to organize my thoughts, how to do good essays and also I improved my writing. Having a different first language I feel like I give my best in this class because is kind of hard. Although I get grades that I wasn’t expecting I feel good because through those not too bad grades, I learned what kind of grammar errors I was doing.

My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property.

I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc. (Nike), and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Liability Management Department (AG Office)
Reflecting on this course over this semester, there have been many lessons learned that will be valuable, as we enter the business world. Our first lesson was to learn to work together, as a team, to prepare a short memo, long memo, letter, and email for use in the business world. This is a lesson that will experience many times as we do our daily work. Punctuation and grammar are so important to present to the client and other organizations that we are professionals. It could mean the loss of a sale or acquiring new business. It’s like dressing for work; looking professional or unprofessional.
