The MBA Evolution
Evolution simply means change. The worldwide MBA program likewise has undergone changes, not just in requisite for admission and years of completion but more so in content and process.
Climate Risk is Real
By now, all of the world’s population had experienced the real effects of climate change. Last year, extreme weather conditions plagued all the regions of Planet Earth in frequent and adverse severity than ever before. The catastrophic floods that caught Germany and Belgium in July 2021 because of unusually heavy rains in 3 days turned small streams and rivers into turbulent flood waters destroying villages and shocked the world. Britain, Scotland, Canada and the US were hit by severe storms, hurricane and tornado. On the other side of the globe, cyclones wreaked havoc in India and the Philippines.
When Sea Levels Rise …and Rivers Overflow
These talks may be our last chance to curb global warming and climate change. The 26th UN Conference on Climate Change at Glasgow England was held on October 31 to November 12, 2021 with the Conference of Parties (COP26) in attendance and around 30,000 delegates from 180 countries. It declared a climate emergency with a call to urgent actions and ambitious goals to inhibit further catastrophic impact on Mother Earth.
Life After the Pandemic
It is not that easy to answer the question “what would life be in Mars?” But it is that easy to address the question “what would life be in the Philippines after the pandemic?”
BACK TO NORMAL — with some twists.
Newscasts would be focused less on Covid cases, new infections, recoveries, and deaths. But more on the disruptive weather, update on the stock market, tension among the world superpowers, showbiz gossips, other oddities.
The 2020 Pandemic: Lessons Learned
Who would have ever thought that our world can stand still for months because of an invisible enemy? Travel by land, sea and air nearly halted, the 2020 Olympics was moved a year later, all sporting and other crowd drawing events were forced to be called off (hardly with a major upheaval from those affected), work and school shifted from the office or the classroom to the confines of the home, all recreational facilities temporarily closed, hotels turned into quarantine facilities, airports emptied, cruise ships docked at port, supply chains for manufacturing interrupted, malls and theaters closed and many jobs lost and likely never to return.
Depression amidst COVID-19
We’re approaching the one year mark when more than 100 countries around the globe had put in place a full or partial lockdown[1] or some form of restriction on movement due to COVID-19. To say that this pandemic has had and continues to have a significant impact in our normal daily lives is an understatement.
The Paradox of Sustainability
In order for the term “sustainability” not to become a mere slogan, we need to understand better what it is all about. The word clarifies at the same time that it confuses many. To the layperson, to sustain is to keep, to maintain and to continue.
Addressing Global Warming
Mankind has achieved fast-paced technological progress in the last 100 years but, unfortunately, at the expense of nature’s preservation. Carbon emission from such technological breakthroughs, like the introduction of vehicles, aircrafts, locomotive engines and even appliances, have contributed immensely to global warming. It’s best to understand the science behind this natural occurrence because it is science in the end that will determine mankind’s continued existence.
Wherefore Covid 19
It’s been nine months since the world was introduced to the new coronavirus strain SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19. Reports in late December 2019 point to people in Wuhan, China developing symptoms similar to the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong in 2003, although later reports seem to suggest that some people in that capital of China’s Hubei province may have contracted the disease about a month earlier.
Learning from Virtual Learning
An invisible enemy created a worldwide health crisis, forcing every nation to respect its damaging effects by adjusting the way we live. The home is possibly the only safe place to protect one’s self against contracting the dreaded virus.
