1. Enrique “Ikeng” Pag-Ilagan – 19 anyos na binata, kulot ang buhok at mapang-akit ang mgamata.
Maraming nililigawan ngunit hindi handang magpakasal. Sa huli ay si Loleng rin pala ang papakasalan na
dating tinalikuran ng pangako. Hindi nagtagal ay naging iresponsableng asawa ngunit nagsisi kung kailang
huli na ang lahat.

patago sa Tarlac sa halip na ang pagtulong sa Rebolusyon ang inatupag. Labis na natakot dahil baka
mahanap sila ng kanyang ama at sinabi ni Ikeng na huwag matakot dahil magkasama silang parehong nag-
iibigan.
9. Mang Tiago – nagbanta na gagawa ng paraan para makulong si Ikeng dahil sa pagtatangkang maitanan

K. Wakas
Itinuro ni Tomas ang lugar ng mag-ina ngunit sa kasamaang palad ay nabangga ng isang
humaharurot ng kotse si Ikeng at isinugod sa Hospital San Pablo. Naghihingalo na si Ikeng ngunit
nagawa pa rin niyang humingi ng kapatawaran sa kanyang mag-ina bago siya bawian ng
buhay.Dito nagtapos ang kuwento ni Ikeng, ang "pusong walang pag-ibig".
L. Uri ng Wakas
Ang nobelang ito ay may trahedyang wakas dahil namatay si Ikeng matapos masagasaan ng
kotse ngunit nakapagayos naman siya sa kaniyang pamilya.
M. Aral
Isang kahalagahan ang pagiging responsable. Ang pagpapakasal ay hindi kaning isusubo at
kapag napaso ay iluluwa. Ang kasal ay isang banal na pakikipagtipan na may basbas ng Diyos.
Kailangang magsikap na isang magulang lalo na ng isang padre de pamilya ang maitaguyod sa
magandang kondisyon ang kanyang pamilya .Hindi dapat mawalan ng pag-asa ang isang tao dahil
may maawaing Diyos sa Langit.
N. Pagpapahalagang Panlipunan
Nagising ang mambabasa pagkatapos malaman kung gaano kaimportante ang pagiging
responsable sa mga bagay-bagay. Isinulat ni G. Roman Reyes ang nobelang ito hindi lamang upang
mang-aliw ng mga mambabasa kung di maimulat ang kanyang mga mambabasa sa mga
makamanaganapsaysayang naganap noon at sa mga pangyayaring hango sa realidad ng buhay.
O.Teoryang Pampanitikan
Ang nobelang ito ay realismo sapagkat naipakita nito ang mga karanasan at nasaksihan ng may-
akdang si G. Roman Reyes sa kanyang lipunan. Ito ay hango sa mga pangyayari sa totoong buhay.
Isinulat rin ng may-akda ang ilan sa kanyang mga karanasan noon giyera ng Pilipino, Kastila at
Amerikano.
Academic Performance of Business Students in Quantitative Courses: A Study in the Faculty of
Business and Economics at the UAE University
This article aims to investigate the academic performance (measured by quality points) of the business
students in quantitative courses. It also explores the impact of a number of factors on the academic
performance of business students in these courses. A random sample of 750 third‐ and fourth‐level
business students at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) Faculty of Business and Economics
(FBE) was chosen. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of
variance, t test, and correlation. The results indicated that the academic performance of the business
students in quantitative courses differs across the fields of study (Accounting, Finance, Management,
Marketing, Management Information Systems, Economics, and Statistics), the nationality (Emirati or
non‐Emirati), the type of high school (private or public), the major track in high school (science or art),
the gender (except for Business Stat 1 and Production and Operations Management courses), and the
age (except for Quantitative Methods for Business and Operations Research courses). The study has a
number of implications for both administrators and instructors. For administrators, it will make them
aware of the impacts of the factors under investigation on business students’ performance in
quantitative courses. Therefore, this will improve the administrators’ ability to design more effective
plans to enhance students’ learning experience and in turn their performance in those courses and
accordingly their overall performance. For instructors, this study will indicate which students might
perform poorly in quantitative courses and in turn lead to taking the necessary actions to enhance their
performance in these courses. Instructors should organize separate classes for management and
marketing students on one hand, and students of other fields of study on the other. Different teaching
strategies, course contents, assessment approaches could be used for different groups. Similarly,
students could be classified according to grade point average and major track in the high school. Once
again, different teaching strategies, course contents, assessment approaches could be used for different
groups.

How Title II Food Aid Compares to the World Food Programme: Ethiopia as a Case Study
This thesis analyzes the effectiveness of food aid received by Ethiopia with a focus on
donations from Title II aid from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the
United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Ethiopia has faced famine and political issues
for many decades and is one of the poorest countries in the world. At the same time, there is a
large and growing amount of money going into Ethiopia from the United States in the form of
Title II food aid, as well as aid from the World Food Programme, which necessitates an
assessment of the effectiveness of this aid. By reviewing quantitative data from government
organizations such as the Central Intelligence Agency, USAid, the World Food Programme, and
qualitative data from the United Nations, this study assesses the effectiveness of food
assistance by USAID and WFP. While a more comprehensive study would be necessary to
establish causation, the data and literature reviewed here suggests that increasing food
assistance has been associated with improving conditions in Ethiopia, including a decreasing
malnutrition rate.

Offshore Outsourcing: Its Advantages, Disadvantages, and Effect on the American Economy
The United States has trained some of the world’s best computer programmers and technology
experts. Despite all of this training, many businesses do not have a full understanding of
information technology. As the importance of technology in the business world grows, many
companies are wasting money on extensive technology projects. When problems arise, they
expect that further investment will solve these issues. To prevent such problems, many
companies have begun to outsource these functions in an effort to reduce costs and improve
performance. The majority of these outsourced information technology and call center jobs are
going to low-wage countries, such as India and China where English-speaking college
graduates are being hired at substantially lower wages. The purpose of this study is to evaluate
the positive and negative aspects of offshore outsourcing with a focus on the outsourcing
markets in India and China, arguably the two most popular destinations for outsourcers. The
cost savings associated with offshore outsourcing will be evaluated in relation to the security
risks and other weakness of offshore outsourcing. In addition, an analysis of the number of jobs
sent overseas versus the number of jobs created in the United States will be used to assess the
effects that outsourcing is having on the American economy and job market. Finally, the value of
jobs lost from the American economy will be compared to the value of jobs created. The goal of
these analyses is to create a clear picture of this increasingly popular business strategy.

New Source for Music

People have turned to the Internet as a method of obtaining music. The craze has stirred up
much controversy both in the legal and social realms. The music industry believes that the
sharing of music is against the copy write laws, yet people believe that it is their right to share
music with others and music will be shared with or without the use of the Internet. Many articles
have been written in order to convey the controversy and the legal issues that surround the
issue, but this study takes a closer look at the company in the spotlight, Napster, and a new
rival, i-Tunes. It continues on to examine how such services became available and the legal
battles against Napster as well as individuals for using such methods of gathering music.
Moreover, it answers the question of whether people are still using free download sites, the
consequences of using such sites, and finally, whether Napster and i-Tunes have discovered a
successful new business.

Strategic Leveraging: A Look at Large Plan Services Implementation/Mergers and Acquisitions

at Fidelity Investments
Fidelity Investments is regarded as the leader in the financial services industry. They have
managed to do this by remaining one of the most technologically advanced companies around
as well as being extremely innovative. Fidelity Investments deals in outsourcing, which means
Fidelity manages other companies’ payroll, retirement plans, benefits, etc. so that the other
companies do not need to form an independent department to handle these issues. When a
larger company wishes to have Fidelity manage these issues it is handled by the Large Plan
Services segment. This presentation examines the current problems that occur from the way
information is currently distributed amongst the segment’s Project Managers and cliental. It will
offer answers to the problems that currently slow the flow of information throughout the segment
and help make the system more efficient.

Examining the Relationship Between Awareness of Autism and Availability of Funding

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between awareness of autism in the
general public and availability of funding for autism research. Researchers have found no
source of autism in children and due to this they have also not been able to find a cure. Children
are being diagnosed with autism at incredibly high rates; much higher than any other disability
that afflicts children, yet it receives the least public and private funding of all of these same
disabilities. There have been many steps taken recently by the government and by private
institutions to increase awareness and the availability of funds for programs to help children with
autism and also research to find the source and a cure for autism. This paper seeks to find the
connection between awareness and availability of funding and also to identify steps that can be
taken to increase both.

The Current Financial Crisis and Business Environment

The global financial crisis that began in 2007 is considered by many economists to be the worst
financial crisis since the Great Depression. During this global financial meltdown the world has
witnessed disastrous stock market crashes, the implosion of multiple prestigious financial
institutions, and government bailouts on an unprecedented scale. Surprisingly, it is difficult to
receive a straightforward explanation from the financial sector or the government regarding the
causes of this financial meltdown and the lack of foresight from both private and public entities.
The view expressed in this paper is that both the private sector and the government are to
blame for the magnitude of the financial crisis and for the lack of accountability in the steps
taken in the aftermath of the global meltdown. To support this contention, this paper will draw
upon interviews conducted with individuals in the banking and investment sector, primary
sources dealing with the financial crisis, and the analysis of experts in the field. This paper will
concentrate on assessing the root causes of the crisis, providing a summary of the key events,
evaluating both the private financial sector and government’s role in the crisis, and analyzing the
current business environment. The turbulence in the financial system has affected citizens in
every income bracket and field of work and we all have a vested interest in understanding the
causes and consequences of these pivotal events. George Santayana famously stated that
“those who cannot remember their past are condemned to repeat it”, and it is the goal of this
paper to ensure not only that we remember our past, but that we understand it.

Staying On Top for the Future: A Hannaford Brothers Case Study

In the late 1800’s the Hannaford brothers, led by their sibling Arthur opened a small fresh
produce market. From there the Hannaford brothers turned a small produce market into one of
the most prominent grocery stores in the New England region. The grocery industry is by no
means a non-competitive industry. With the emergence of companies like Whole Foods, Trader
Joe’s, Wal-Mart, and E-Commerce grocery, Hannaford needs a plan to stay on top of the
grocery industry. Using research from websites, journals, and books, a case study was
completed that contains a history of Hannaford Brothers and its major competitors, an analysis
of their strengths, and finally recommendations of what Hannaford can do to stay on top.
Hannaford has achieved a good position in the grocery industry as one in which customer
service and high quality is a necessity. With their merger with Delhaize of America they have the
financial backing of one of the largest food retailers in the United States. Hannaford has the
unique opportunity to further develop themselves as one of the leaders in the industry while
continuing to offer low prices, and venturing into new markets. Given all this Hannaford can
remain among the top leaders in the grocery industry for the future.

Case Study: Ja'Duke Center for the Performing Arts

The goal of this project was to establish a one to three year expansion plan for the Ja’Duke
Center for the Performing Arts (JCPA). JCPA is a family owned corporation established in 2004
and is currently looking for ways to expand their company. Using case study research and
presentation methods, various recommendations can be made of how to go about the
expansion. Case Study method begins by researching the history of the corporation, which then
aids in developing pertinent facts about the business. Then S.W.O.T. analysis is performed
which focuses on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the company. Finally,
from the facts and S.W.O.T. analysis recommendations are made in order to solve the problem
of how to successfully expand the company in a one to three year time span. This case study
focuses on recommendations based on the Management by Objectives theory developed by
Peter Drucker. This means that the recommendations are made based on specific goals rather
than different areas of business. Some of the goals include: increasing enrollment at the center
by 20% each year, designing and building a 8,000 square foot facility, increasing staffing by 2
part-time employees per year, diversifying revenue by adding programs, and finally finding
affordable health insurance for owners and employees.
