Paano ba pumili ng Presidente at Vice President na iboboto?  Ano ang dapat mong bantayan para tama ang pipiliin mo?  Minsan, mas masinop pa tayo kung bibili ng TV or cellphone kaysa pag pili ng iboboto. Sisilipin mo kung ilang ram, ano ang resolution, at ano ang memory ng phone.   Ngayon, tuturuan namin kayo kung paano tignan at intindihin ang specs ng isang posisyon para matulungan kayo pumili ng model o brand na tinginin nyo, magbibigay ng kailangan mo at ng bansa.   This episode is a joint project with the Counsellor Institute, a non-profit organization that provides research, policy formulation, advisory, and public communication to create government policies guided by science and research.  Go to https://counsellorinstitute.org/ for more information.

What do the senators and congressmen really do?  What is the difference between the two?  How will you know who's fit for the positions?  Atty. Erwin: "When I was a child, all of the officials look the same to me. When I became an attorney, that's when I realized the benefits of the people in society are different.  The functions are very much different."

So, in this episode, we will share what we learned about senators, congressmen, and party-list representatives so that we can teach you how to choose wisely.  This episode is a joint project with the Counselor Institute, a nonprofit organization that provides research, policy formulation, advisory, and public communication to create government policies guided by science and research.  Go to www.counsellorinstitute.org for more information.

The election is soon to come, and there are lots of people running for positions.  There's a mayor, councilor, in some places, governor, board member.  The question is...  how would you choose the right candidate for the positions?  So, the purpose of this video is to widen the selection criteria.  Not the one who dances, but for you to understand what is the main reason for the positions.  That way we can choose wisely who will govern efficiently for their own positions.  So in this video, we will be talking about multiple positions, that will be governor,  Mayor, councilors, and board members.  So let's get on with it.  This episode is a joint project with Counselor Institute, a nonprofit organization that provides research, policy formulation, advisory, and public communication to create government policies guided by science and research.  Go to www.counsellorinstitute.org for more information.

What are the roles of the people in the barangay?

And, who would you know who's fit for the position you'll be voting for in the barangay.

When you leave the house, the first officials you'll see are from the barangay.

Tanods are included because they're the frontliners when it comes to government units. But not a lot of people understand.

What are the jobs of different people in the barangay? And, if ever you don't understand what their jobs are, how will you vote correctly?

Because if you don't have a base knowledge of what their jobs are for, this will be your grounds,

"Ah! I know this guy!" Or "That's my neighbor."

But that might not be the best grounds for voting for a candidate.

So in this episode, we will be talking about the smallest government unit there is, and that is the Barangay and its officials.

This episode is a joint project with a Counselor Institute, a nonprofit organization that provides research, policy formulation, advisory, and public communication to create government policies guided by science and research.

We will be diving into different people we put into enforcement and rulemaking capacity.

This time, we'll raise it from barangay to the city and provincial levels. For you to understand what we're pointing out. So we look forward to seeing you there.

So wasn't that simple?

Now go make better choices.

Did somebody give you 1 share or 1% share in a corporation just because they needed to complete the minimum number of shareholders? 

We see this a lot in family corporations and businesses. Stockholders whose names are placed in the corporation as owners, when in fact they don’t have any investment in the corporation…or they’re not even involved in the corporation at all.  

Many times we find that the owners of a corporation include the names of the owner’s children.  Sometimes you will even see secretaries, drivers, or even household helpers named as part owners of the company.  

So our question for today comes from Marie G, and she writes:

“Attorney, my friend started a corporation many years back and he asked me if I can be a dummy stockholder for him along with his girlfriend, his mom, and tita (auntie). I agreed. I think he gave me 1%. 

Since then I do not have any update on what happened to the company. Sometimes my friend makes me sign things. But when I ask him about it, he tells me that these are routine documents. I’m worried I might get sued someday. What are my rights as a dummy? ”

If you were wondering about the same thing as Marie, stick around.

This episode is brought to you by the "Putting up a Corporation" workshop, an online course that orients you on the basics of starting a company in the Philippines. It talks about what is a corporation exactly, what are the things you should decide on first, before making the leap, and what is the procedure to expect when processing the papers.

What are the things you should know about having a kasambahay at home?
