The film starts out as Solomon Vandy and his son, Dia, were on their way home and notices that a group of rebel forces were bound for their town. Many people were killed, some who were lucky got out (including Solomon's family) while some unfortunate ones got captured and made to work in the mines like Solomon. They were made to mine for diamonds, blood diamonds. These gems are used to fund wars throughout the country. While working in the mines, Solomon chanced upon a huge pink diamond. He was caught by the commander of the rebels while he was trying to hide the gem. The government forces then arrived, making the commander unable to do anything about the diamond. Solomon was able to bury it and then was put to jail with all the other miners. The commander announced the existence of the diamond in the jail which doesn't escape the attention of David Archer, a smuggler who works for Van de Kaap and was arrested when he was trying to smuggle diamonds into Liberia. He arranges for Solomons freedom and then tries to persuade him to tell him the location of the elusive diamond, which he needs to obtain so that he could get out of Africa for the time being. David later on meets an American journalist by the name of Maddy Bowen. She is doing a story on the blood diamonds and insists on David's cooperation. He makes a deal with her to help him locate Solomon's family in exchange of information on the blood diamonds trade. Solomon later on discovers that his family is safe in a refugee camp but his son was taken by the rebel forces. They set off without Maddy Bowen, who was evacuated, to find Solomon's son and the pink diamond. Later on, they return to the mine where Solomon found the diamond. David reports the coordinates of the mine and sends in a chopper to wreck the place. They arrange to go in later when David finds that Solomon has…

On 20 September 1944, Gen. MacArthur issues his final plan for the occupation of Leyte. It was based on the assumption that American forces were or would be established along the Marianas-Ulithi-Palaus-Morotai line and that the Japanese land and air forces in the Philippines and Formosa would have been seriously crippled and that the Japanese Fleet would elect to remain in the Empire waters with only light forces remaining in the vicinity of the Philippines.…

The Philippine National Bank was established as a government-owned banking institution on July 22, 1916 with headquarters in the old Masonic Temple along Escolta, Manila. Its primary mandate was to provide financial services to Philippine industry and agriculture and support the government's economic development effort. World War I, then raging in Europe, generated huge demand for the country's major exports namely: sugar, copra, coconut oil, Manila hemp and tobacco. However, not much was being done to develop the industries that produced these sought-after crops since access to credit facilities was limited then. To solve this problem, Henderson Martin, Vice Governor of the Philippines, together with Mr. Miguel Cuaderno (who later became Central Bank governor) drafted the charter for a national bank.In February 4, 1916, Public Act 2612 was passed by the Philippine legislature providing for the establishment of the PNB to replace the small P1 million government-owned Agricultural Bank. PNB's first head office was the Masonic Temple along Escolta, the then "Wall Street of the Philippines" in the bustling district of Sta. Cruz in Manila. An American, H. Parker Willis, was its first president. On July 24, 1916, PNB established its first branch in Iloilo. In 1980, PNB became…

According to Renaldo Mendoza, executive director of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Policy Center, “political dynasties continue to monopolize political power in many local governments like provinces, municipalities and cities nationwide, and categorized current reigning political clans as “fat” or “thin” dynasties.” Mendoza said “fat” dynasties are political families that have several members holding elective positions in a certain local government for three years. A “thin” dynasty is a political clan that only has two members – like a father and son – swapping certain positions, as when a mayor-father, at the end of his maximum three terms, lets his son, who may also have reached his three-year term either as vice mayor, councilor, provincial governor or vice governor, running for each other’s position, he added. In Maguindanao, the “fat” Ampatuan dynasty held eight out of the 37 mayoralty posts in the province’s 37 municipalities, Mendoza said. Other provinces with a big number of fat dynasties include Apayao province, Dinagat Islands, Siquijor and Sulu.…

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines dynasty as a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time. In the Philippines, according to a research by the Center for People Empowerment and Governance, we have about 250 political families who have dominated Philippine politics at the national and local level. This is 0.00001667 % of the country's 15 million families (CENPEG, 2007). They comprise a little, among the represented Filipinos in the country, whom majority are not as elite and as wealthy as they are, and whose interests and needs are not the same as theirs. Roland G. Simbulan, a notable political scientist of the University of the Philippines, says: “Political dynasties distort governance, and make a sham of democratic governance. Through these, public office becomes an exclusive family franchise, and a provider of more benefits to family interests” (20). Political dynasties in the country should be banned for it does not benefit the people and the state; it only benefits those in power. They shut opportunities and hinder true services by the more deserving leaders who are not fortunate to win against these ruling families in the elections. This violates Sec. 26 Art. II of the 1987 Constitution which states: “The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law.” Unfortunately, no law supports this yet. Since 1987, a lot of legislators have tried to pass a law to abolish political dynasties but have failed. This is mainly because most lawmakers come from political dynasties. Thus Simbulan is right when he said that, “Wealthy and powerful families have dominated politics in the Philippines, concentrating power to the elite families, promoting corruption and abuse of power” (7).…

Todaro defines development “as a multidimensional process involving major changes in social structures, popular attitudes, and national institutions, as well as the acceleration of economic growth, the reduction of inequality, and the eradication of absolute poverty. Development, in its essence, must represent the whole gamut of change by which an entire social system, tuned to the diverse basic needs and desires of individuals and social groups within that system, moves away from a condition of life widely perceived as unsatisfactory and toward a situation or condition of life regarded as materially and spiritually 'better'.” (1985:85) Todaro believes there are three core values of development and these core values are life-sustenance, self-esteem and freedom to choose. In this essay, different views towards Todaro’s definition of development will be discussed.…

Any questions regarding the decision of McArthur, more specifically, his decision to leave the Philippines is not in the realm in which this paper will be researched. Studying McArthur and his decisions is a massive rabbit hole that would easily steer me away from what I need to be researching. Thus all questions regarding the General will be selected with extreme caution. However, there will be one main question that I will answer through this paper. This is a question that is what makes this research worth studying in the first place. Could the Americans have successfully have taken back the Philippines from the Japanese without the help of the Filipino guerrillas or the Commonwealth of the Philippines? My research will make it clear to all who read it that, without the efforts of the Commonwealth in the favor of the Americans, retaking the Philippines would have been next to impossible. It became possible for the Americans to return not only through the actions of the Commonwealth but also for the simple reason that these rebels needed to pick a side. So, if they did not pick the side of the Americans they would have been siding with the Japanese creating an even bigger opposition for McArthur and even possibly creating a country that would not be worth America trying to…
