CHAPTER ONE
History of Manila Pavilion Hotel
One of the country’s pioneering hotels is the Manila Pavilion Hotel (Fig. 1). It is owned and operated by Ace sites (Phil’s) hotel corporation, a company listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange. During the year 1968, the Ace sites, formerly known as the Delgado Brothers Hotel Corporation, had an agreement with the Hilton International and opened the Manila Hilton Hotel.

    "But Kemmons Wilson, now a distinguished combat pilot, did return home in 1945 and he and Dorothy began raising their family. Their five children would soon be the inspiration that changed the hospitality world as everyone knew it" (Kemmons Wilson, a Business Legend, 2004). Kemmons Wilson didn 't just recognize opportunity when he saw it, he seized it! While on vacation in 1952, Wilson channeled his disgust towards lodging prices and poor conditions into what has catapulted him to the top of the hospitality industry. His vision? Not just one hotel, but 400 hotels. Spread out across the country, all within one day 's drive of the next. Each would have larger and well-maintained accommodations that were unheard of in those days. If it was up to Kemmons Wilson, no longer would you have to drive your family from a hotel to a restaurant because his hotel would come equipped with one. It would also have a pool for the kids, who, by the way, would stay for free. As his ideas drafted to paper, an old Bing Crosby movie gave his up and coming hotel chain it 's name, "Holiday Inn." Kemmons Wilson 's intuition into what comforted others, proved to be second to none. "Just ten years later, his 400th hotel went up and he was averaging two new hotels a week" (Kemmons Wilson, a Business Legend, 2004). Kemmons Wilson, still seeing room for improvement, "was the first to introduce computerized reservation systems, having IBM create his Holidex, enabling reservations made, for any one of his hotels, with just one phone call"(Kemmons Wilson, a Business Legend, 2004). Holliday Inn set the new standard in hotel hospitality. By the time "Kemmons Wilson retired in 1979, there were over 1500 Holiday Inns in over 50 countries, bringing in annual revenues of over 1 billion in dollars" (Kemmons Wilson, a Business Legend, 2004).…

    Reading the diary entries from people can help you learn about how they lived and what life was like during their time period. In my opinion, by reading the entries of slaves, we can discover what kind of work they did and how they were treated. This helps us understand what happened with an inside source. Each group of people had their own opinions and had different things written in their diaries. Because of this we gain knowledge from each side of the story.…

    Mead & Hampson (1996) developed a study involving the divided visual field paradigm and a phonological rhyme/non-rhyme task to test the speed and accurateness of either side of the brain. This study was used to investigate functional asymmetry between the left and right hemispheres in phonological processing. The research was taken out equally on 15 male and 15 females London Metropolitan University students ranging from ages 18 – 35 years old. They were all specifically chosen to be right–handed and had English as their first language thus providing a fair experiment to see whether our left hemisphere (left side of the brain) or the right hemisphere is faster and more accurate. In conclusion using the mean and standard deviation to determine our hypothesis, it was calculated that the left hemisphere had a higher mean and standard deviation score compared to the right hemisphere.…
