Season 2 has 7 episodes. But there will be a feature-length finale to stream starting on August 26.
We actually had undergraduate Medicine and Law before that we inherited from the Spanish educational system, but we replaced them in favor of the American system.
This shift made doctors and lawyers in the Philippines feel like they deserve to become rich from their profession for all the years they spent studying. They set expensive fees for their services as a result. And they expect the common people would respect them like they're an authority themselves.
In Europe, doctors are paid fairly. The doctors themselves may envy the level of salaries American doctors receive, but that's besides the point. Europe can offer universal healthcare with relative ease because their doctors don't expect high salaries, because they only spent 6 years in college, which you know, allowed their governments to give their universities generous subsidies because the medical students themselves only need 6 years in all to complete their training.
In Europe, lawyers aren't really treated that much different from accountants. Compared to US and Philippine lawyers, they're more humble in their charged fees and expectations of respect.
The undergraduate Medicine and Law paradigm is the norm in the world, not just Europe. It's the norm in Latin America and most of Asia (China, India, etc.) as well. It's time for the Philippines to revert to the old system.
The whole article is messy. It lists and discusses the major halls, fraternities, and others but not the colleges and schools? As a university, its colleges and schools are far more important and notable than its buildings and fraternities.
For example ng ilalagay sa title:
Owners:
Juan dela Cruz, married, of legal age, Filipino, 1/4 share
Maria dela Cruz, single, of legal age, Filipino, 1/4 share
Pedro dela Cruz, married, of legal age, Filipino, 1/4 share
Sebastian Reyes, married, of legal age, Filipino, 1/8 share
Juana Reyes Santos, married, of legal age, Filipino, 1/8 share
From Latin vulcan- (volcano) + Greek -nesos (island).
The area in blue is the area that needs to be dug in order to divert the water and shorten Pasig River.
The area in green is the area that would be drained of water after the river's diversion is completed. This low-lying area can then be turned into a park.
This proposal is similar to what have been done to Valencia's river in Spain:
Walang probinsya ang nakasaad sa Wikipedia article nito. May note lang na:
> Websites for both Cagayan and Batanes provinces do not indicate who has jurisdiction of these islands.
Sa Google Maps app (using my Android phone) kapag sin-earch mo ang "Cagayan, Philippines" at "Batanes, Philippines" iha-highlight nito buong teritoryo ng bawat lalawigan, pero wala sa kanila ang hum-ighlight sa Balintang Islands.
My paternal grandfather had a nickname which means 'greedy' in our local language. And my maternal grandmother had a nickname which means 'vociferous'. Their siblings, parents, uncles, aunts and many other relatives had their own insulting nicknames that their neighbors and relatives had given them.
I still had not added any of these insulting nicknames in my documentation of them. But sometimes I think I must. While these nicknames aren't really positive in any way, people in my country, the Philippines, sometimes use these insulting nicknames neutrally, especially if they want to clarify the person who they were talking about.
For example:
Person 1: Have you heard what happened to Insiong?
Person 2: Which Insiong?
Person 1: Insiong Mabatâ (bad-odor Insiong)
In this case, Person 1 wasn't necessarily insulting Insiong. He just used Insiong's insulting nickname to distinguish him from the other Insiongs.
For some genealogical research purposes. The younger brother of my late grandfather said he had a cousin with this given name (plus a surname I won't mention), and knowing who this person could be could finally unlock a brickwall I had in my genealogical research (knowing who the parents were of one of my great-grandmothers).
