returning to the scene of the crime

it's been a while since i created a web page. and now im like a returning prodigal son aiming to get back what i lost. getting thru the same process i walked thru back then - studying. i visited few sites ive created and found them to be boring so i wont put their links here. hahaha! then i stumble upon my site(i want to call it that) - http://www.geocities.com/orpheum_ph/ and remembered that i have created something for myself... a tool for web design. something to start with... and i would like to tap my back for that. and so, i decided to get back into blogging and pst this.

hopefully, i would complete my tool and maybe start on a portfolio. wish me luck!

Its deeper problem is that the country often struggles to turn plans, budgets, and reforms into reliable public services, productive jobs, resilient infrastructure, and long-term national capability. The visible crises—floods, blackouts, corruption scandals, inflation, debt, and political instability—are symptoms of a larger system. At the center is a governance-and-accountability gap: public money is allocated, agencies announce programs, projects begin, but the results too often fail to reach the people who need them. The core failure: a capability gap The Philippines’ most dangerous hidden failure mode is not simply corruption or debt. It is the difficulty of converting public spending into durable capability. The Philippine Institute for Development Studies argues that the country’s development constraints come not mainly from a lack of policies or resources, but from fragmented i...
