Constitutional Law Cases

For PGC class, photocopy digests of the following cases below.  They are available in the book on "Constitutional Law" by Isagani Cruz.  Available at the Civil Law section of Benavides Library.  The Bok has a list of cases at the beginning so they're not really difficult to locate.

Kwong Sing v. City of manila

Yu Cong Eng v. Trinidad

People v Court of Appeals

People v. Veloso

Ynot Case

Pederanga v. Azura

Stonehill Case

NATO and Cyber Security

For the class on IPS, our final simulation will focus on the growing threat on National Security.  Position papers must show:

1. Your country's technological reliance and capacity.
2. Your country's experience in terms of being the victim of cyber attack.
3. Your country's current policy/s on cyber security.
4. Your country's (you as a student of IPS) proposal to secure the world from cyber attacks.

The country assignment (along with speaker sequence for the simulation) is as follows.

Abelard - Greece (3)
Carlo - Czeck Republic (5)
Duane - Italy (2)
Irene - UK (1)
Jilian - Poland (4)

Pls. remember to consult the grading metric for the simulation so that you can prepare properly.  Do not make it a report.  It is a live interaction between representatives of countries.  Hence, make reactions, evaluations of your colleagues policies, and follow parliamentary procedure.

The simulation will use the following sequence:

1st round : proposals (follow speaker sequence above) 4-5 min.
2nd round : consolidation - members must choose to support one other member and oppose another.  Also 4-5 minutes.

To support requires similarity with the policy of the other member.  You must attempt to consolidate any differences in your proposal.
To oppose requires that you provide a rationale for not wanting the proposal of that member.

Below is a link to two basic parliamentary procedure guides: learn them, they will be part of the finals exam.
