First International Learning Styles
IN the knowledge society, there are two constants – continuous change and increasing volumes of information. In an era of such rapid change, knowledge can only be maintained through lifelong learning and the use of effective learning strategies. These learning strategies have relevance to promoting more effective teaching and learning which are necessary to move beyond delivering speeches to effective educational practice.
Right on track
THE meeting Saturday night of the Lakas-CMD directorate appeared to have succeeded in ironing out differences among the leaders of the ruling party, particularly former President Fidel V. Ramos, party founder and Chairman Emeritus, and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, the party’s Chairman.
Sermon for the times
IN yesterday’s issue, Rolando V. de la Rosa, OP, had a piece called "The grandeur of silence" that may well be the sermon for the times.
Prospects for 2006
LAKAS stalwarts reject FVR proposal for GMA to cut short her term in 2007 so she can run for parliament and aspire to become prime minister or president.
A Barnum and Bailey world
FORMER President Fidel Ramos insists that President Arroyo must exit gracefully next year while Speaker Joe de Venecia, his close associate, contends that she can retain her present powers up to 2010 even if the parliamentary system kicks in 2007.

His winning ways
IT is easy for one to admire Carlos "Charlie" Leobrera. This tall and sprightly Bicolano is likeable that one ends up agreeing with whatever he espouses, his wise counsel, particularly.
Political parties
THE ruling Lakas-Christian and Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) party described by President Arroyo as a "superior force" in the political arena can steer the country, with "teamwork and discipline" of her partymates, towards confronting the three challenges this year — that of the economy, Charter change, and poverty. But those are not all. There might be some problems specifically on the political party system in the provisions, or lack of them, in the proposed constitutional amendments that will shift the presidential to the parliamentary system of government. Up to this day, and to my knowledge, the Presidential Constitutional Commission has not yet endorsed its report on proposed Cha-cha provisions involving political parties.
Martin Luther King’s dream
WASHINGTON – Most Americans believe there has been significant progress in achieving Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of racial equality, though blacks are more skeptical, an AP-Ipsos poll found.
The question about fasting
THE disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast. People came to Jesus and objected, "Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?" Jesus answered them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day. No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins."
JdV’s solution
PRESIDENT GMA and the ruling party Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats have agreed to fast-track Charter change by middle of this year to speedily bring about much-needed political and economic reforms.
