The government does its work in investigating the problems but it is still up to us to do what we think is best.

So now that the news reports have released the partial list of milk and milk products that can be safely consumed, I ask you this question:

People as individuals or even belonging to certain affiliations through common interests and goals, always try to give their best in whatever endeavors they have set their minds to do.

As modern technology has changed how things are being managed on a day-to-day basis, people also changed how they perform in the workplace.

These changes have also altered the way management style has devised ways to measure the performance of individuals or a collective performance of an organization.

One of those being used to measure the business performance of an organization is called corporate performance management. Corporate performance management understands and influences the performance through processes and measures using metrics and key performance indicators to measure the success of the business.

SCTEx

What is SCTEx?

SCTEx is this: Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway which runs from Tarlac up to Subic or SBMA and back of course.

Well paved roads. Lush green country side. Peaceful ride. Almost isolated expressway (for now I guess) where thinking about having an engine trouble is not an option.

No need to navigate through road with vehicular and foot traffic. I shudder to think about the trees and the mountains that they have to cut in half just to make this happen.
