 THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA

This movie shows many hidden moral messages to every organization, employees and
especially to the employers. Andrea is just a typical old fashioned woman who has a
good friends and a loving boyfriend but she’s not contented in a way that there is
something in herself that she needs to prove so she sought for a job and applied as an
assistant of the famous Runway magazine owner, Miranda. As her job goes by
Andrea’s fashion in wearing clothes changes because she wanted to show Miranda, her
boss. That she’s not only intelligent and confident but she can also slay like the other
girls do. This scene shows that you have to adapt in your job so that you can be flexible
to everyone might as well your impress boss and they might like your attitude. You need
to please your co-workers and your boss by proving that you can easily adapt to
changes because you’re after with that job. Impress is the key but if you don’t love your
job you have to be yourself you don’t have to please others. Be yourself is the key to get
a life of freedom, happiness and success. In Miranda’s case, as a boss she doesn’t
have to be ruthless and show that she’s an autocratic leader; her employees will be
intimidated and might leave the job because of the way she acted. As a leader you have
to be flexible and be kind to your people, show them respect and have a relationship
with them. This happens to Andrea when she chooses her job over her friends and
boyfriend. She realizes many things while looking at Miranda’s life which is rich and
famous, but full of lies, deception and ruthless, Andrea knows that she lost her
personality and her true happiness. She decided to quit her admirable job in order to
work in a place where she can be herself: smart, self-confident and generous. We
always have a choice in life. To
Stay or to Go.

 THE DISCLOSURE

Tom a Production line manager expects to be promoted to run the CD-ROM division.
Instead, Meredith, his former girlfriend, is the one who was promoted. Meredith calls
Tom into her office to discuss some operations, and forces herself onto him. He
attempts to refuse, but then rebuffs her. Meredith screams a threat to make him pay for
spurning her. The next day, Tom discovers that Meredith has filed a sexual harassment
complaint against him with legal counsel Philip. To save the merger from a scandal,
DigiCom officials demand that Tom accept reassignment to another location. If Tom
does this, he will lose his stock options in the new company. His career will be ruined as
the other location is scheduled for sale after the merger which will leave Tom jobless.
This scene shows that there is no fair treatment within the organization. How can they
tolerate this kind of act? They should further investigate what happened and hears the
perspective of both sides, not just the girl but Tom must be heard his side. Also
Meredith should show her professionalism inside. Where are her manners? They were
exes already! She should know where to stand. This movie entails us that sexual
harassment is inevitable to every organization. There are so many cases where a boss
and his secretary is being disrespected and blackmailed. Others would offer them to be
promoted or raise their salaries. This kind of action is not right and cannot be tolerated if
you are an employee and might have experience this kind of sexual harassment you
need to file a case and fight for your right. Do not be afraid. Don’t just leave your job and
forget what happened. You have a right. You can win the case just like Tom. Be a Tom
in this world full of Meredith.

 TRADE ISSUES IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The issues of foreign trade and economic growth have been on the economic agenda
for centuries. International trade a way of goods and services exchange in the global
marketplace and is an engine of economic growth in a country. Moreover, economic
growth is a means to improve the output, employment opportunities, and welfare, which
in turn could make a favorable impact on the positive foreign trade balance. Economic
growth is also an important component of country’s competitiveness in international
markets. International trade has a positive impact on economic growth, resource
allocation, energy and green energy consumption, human capital development, and
physical capital consumption but there are still trade issues occasionally that dominates
and are continuing on international trade like the issues on global market, child labor,
trade deficits, sanctions, tariffs, embargoes and the seemingly endless alphabet of
interest groups, treaties, organizations, and trade agreements. The complexity of the
issues surrounding trade seems difficult to deal with and very hard to make a solution
because the problem is worldwide. I think that the United Nation have been trying to
resolve the issues and I hope that the International trade will still be able to bring peace
to every countries around the world.

 JOHN GOKONGWEI

John Robinson L. Gokongwei, Jr. was born on August 11, 1926 in Gulangyu, Xiamen,
Fujian Province, China. He is a Chinese Filipino businessman with holdings in
telecommunications, financial services, petrochemicals, power generation, aviation and
live stock farming. As of September 2014, Gokongwei is the fifth richest entrepreneur in
the Philippines, with a net worth of over $5 billion, ranking behind only to Henry Sy,
Lucio Tan, Enrique Razon and Andrew Tan.
John Gokongwei was born into a wealthy Cebu-based family, originally from
China's Fujian province. The family fortune was lost when his affluent father died. John
was 13 years old at that time. He initially supported his family by peddling items along
the streets of Cebu from his bicycle. From the age of 17 to 19, he traded using a
wooden boat, taking items to Lucena by sea, and thence to Manila by truck. After the
Second World War, he started his own company called Amasia, which imported textile
remnants, fruit, old newspapers, magazines, and used clothing from the US. During this
time, he courted a young girl, Elizabeth, who would later become his wife. In the early
1950, along with his brothers and sisters who returned from China, he started to import
cigarettes and whiskey too.
In 1957, seeing that trading would always have low margins and would always be
dependent on government policies, the family concern entered the era of
manufacturing. With a loan of 500,000 pesos from Dr. Albino Sycip, then chairman of
China Bank, and DK Chiong, he started a corn milling plant producing glucose and corn
starch. The company was named Universal corn products and later expanded into
Universal Robina Corporation. San Miguel Corporation was a big customer of theirs.
In 1961, as his company started to launch brands such as Blend 45 (an instant coffee
brand, to compete with Nestle's Nescafe), John returned to school to study and obtain
an MBA at the De La Salle University. A decade later, he underwent a 14 week
advanced management program at Harvard.
John is married to Elizabeth and they have six children. All of his children play an
important role for his empire and other enterprises owned by JG Summit Holdings. His
son Lance is now the president of JG Summit Holdings while his brother James is the
Chairman Emeritus.
Gokongwei’s rag-to-riches is one of the most inspiring stories everyone can possibly
read. According to him, his motivation comes from his competitiveness. He said
competition is good for the soul. He also gave advice to young entrepreneurs who also
want to make it big someday. They have to love their work. Instead of spending, they
have to save money. It is also essential to look for places where there is a competition.
Work hard and the most important ingredient for success is to love work.
John Gokongwei will always be that small boy who used to sell soap and candles in a
Cebu market. Today, he makes the world a better place with his enterprise. He believes
that every Filipinos can do the same. Everyone has their chance to make it big in the
entrepreneurial field. He said that even the big players today started off small.
At present, JG Summit six (6) core businesses: branded consumer, agro-industrial and
commodity food products in Universal Robina Corporation, real estate and hotels in
Robinsons Land Corporation and United Industrial Corporation (Singapore),
telecommunications in Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc., petrochemicals in JG
Summit Petrochemicals Corporation, air transportation in Cebu Pacific Air, and financial
services in Robinsons Bank.
Robinsons Land Corporation is the real estate arm of the conglomerate and is one of
the industry leaders in the country. It is involved in the development and operation of
shopping malls, hotels, mixed-used properties, residential condominiums, and land and
housing developments. To date, Robinsons Land Corporation has 32 shopping malls,
57 residential buildings, 8 office buildings, 31 housing developments and 9 hotels all
over the country. Robinsons Land Corporation continues to foster communities of
harmony and to build the foundation for the dreams of the Filipino people.
