Our country's cost of electricity is perpetually rising and there is nothing we can do to revert it. Instead, we can rethink our consumption habits and choice of electric fixtures and appliances, aiming to save as much energy as possible. The UAP Green Architecture Movement invites you to an upcoming lecture on how to maximize energy efficiency of air conditioners. For a minimal lecture fee,

This much is known: the best firms always move forward.

Deficiency in school infrastructure has been one of the economic consequences of widespread poverty in the Philippines. The problem is further aggravated by lack of government support and subsidy. An inadequate portion of the national budget is allocated to the education sector. Although the Department of Education receives the biggest chunk off our annual budget that is 12.5%, it is still the

"...when there are a lot of people willing and able to do a job, that job generally doesn't pay well. this is one of four meaningful factors that determine a wage. the others are the specialized skills a job requires, the unpleasantness of a job, and the demand for services that the job fulfills.

Since the time of ancient Greece and maybe much earlier, discussions have always been the method of choice for advancing human thoughts. This hasn’t changed much in the present and will probably be still true in the future as long as humans generally remain as social beings. For some people, there is nothing more invigorating than being a participant or a spectator to an exchange between two or

By Alexander TzonisLess than a generation ago, the split between construction technology and cultural expression in architecture appeared to be irreversible. With the exception of a few "high-tech” buildings, mostly of limited appeal to the broader public, the humanistic unity of art and science in design looked as if it was irrevocably lost. It is remarkable how fast and unexpectedly the
