It can be said that ERC’s independence is formally shielded under its enabling law from potential undue infuence from any government body that exercises authority over it. As earlier discussed, the ERC is 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 betweeen 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 have the same authority …show more content…
Therefter, the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Philippine Congress, and which is predominantly dominated by the coalition of the ruling party, likewise threatened to abolish the ERC allegedly due to corruption amoung its officials. The threat was not carried out, but the House of Representatives only granted the ERC a budget equivalent to PhP 1,000 or CAD 30. After much deliberation and following the bicameral conference between the House of Representatives and the Philippine Senate, the budget of the ERC was restored 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 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 threatened no less than by the President (who has the appointing power) and from the Philippine House of Representatives (which has power over its budget). In other words, while the legislation is clear that the

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. The content of this class was a good one because the paper that we wrote talked about now day not like in others classes that we have to write about things that we don’t know anything about it. To realize these projects there were clear directions that most of the time were helpful to complete the projects. It was beneficial to get feedbacks about our projects because in that way
The main reason for this is the radical changes put in place so rapidly with immediate effect. This resulted in lack of structure and consistency throughout the whole chain stores, as you gave each store manager to much autonomy to change the store i.e. decor, food menu etc., the business culture values as a whole was lost and that was what made the business a success before. I understand some changes had to be made but not so drastically. The loss of business culture and lack of dimension of structure had a lot negative effect in the business especially demographic and sociology factor wise as regular customers dislike the changes and constant change in staff router, the reason for this was staff/managers never has any incentive target to
Our parish has seen a drop in the math scores with the new PARCC test. With this weakness being of the utmost importance, a responsible district leader, should engage in professional practice by ensuring that their administrators and teachers are working as a team to improve student achievement. Everyone should work together in order to promote positive change concerning this districts math scores. Observations should be conducted by the administrators and by district level supervisors in order to find any strength and weaknesses that may need to be addressed. ISLLC standard 2, states that the school administrator should sustain an instructional program conducive to student learning and staff professional growth. In order to do this, everyone on the team must be open to diversity and innovation, which includes the constructive criticism from the Danielson Rubric used during observations, and adoption of new curriculums. The district level supervisors have to provide professional development for all teachers in order to implement a new curriculum
Within my setting, ICT is an opportunity for children to apply and develop their knowledge and capability. With my help, they can research, question accuracy of sites and exchange and share information together and through emails (we also share with a neighbouring school and have class blogs). Children are learning the fundamentals of research and electronic media, with support, guidance and safeguarding programs. They develop ideas using tools to refine work, enhance quality and accuracy, use spell checks and thesaurus. These are just some of the general requirements from National Curriculum 1999, published by QCA. In conversation with my teacher, we noted how technology has changed rapidly. We use ICT in Assembly,

In 2011, the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. LTC Ostervold was in charge of all CIED operations and his team worked and trained both the United States and Afghan National Army engineers how to properly find and clear IEDs in the 45th IBCT’s area of operation. LTC Ostervold was instrumental in taking the find/clear rate for improvised Explosive Devices (IED) from 30% at the beginning of mobilization to over 70% at the end.

This also gives companies the opportunity to connect with other potential talent that might not be immediately required by the company, but, helps in building a great talent pipeline for future talent needs.
Looking back to the previous government systems in different periods in Philippine history, we can see that our present government system is somehow shaped and patterned from the previous systems that prevailed in our country. Pre – historically we have seen how they established their government and basically, we can say that it is far more primitive than the present system that we have. However, the basic principles like the consultation of the datus to the elders can somehow be seen in the present by the presence of political advisers where our president consults aside from the members of the senate and the congress. The barangay system
