Tadeco-Bucor Joint-Venture Agreement - My take as a layman

The Tadeco -  Bucor Joint Venture Agreement is not just an ordinary agreement. On the outside, it spoke about the development of the Dapecol area by TADECO to be jointly executed by the parties with respect to their roles. But in the innards of realities, it is a restorative justice agreement, not seen in any other penal farms and prisons.

Victims do not forget and most ...

Back to Blogging

It's been a while since I have written on a weblog (blog). My last piece was in 2010, a far, more than 6 years ago. I have forgotten my passwords of the account. I can only view them. If you are interested, I have reagnav.blogspot.com , reagnav1.blogspot.com and reagnav2.blogspot.com . reagnav.blogspot.com was my main blog. reagnav1.blogspot.com could have been all about horrorscope or twists about what will happen in our daily lives and reagnav2.blogspot.com could have been about manga as I am a frustrated artist. Anyways, I will be maintaining this reagnav3.blogspot.com from now on. I used to have time to ponder and write on anything that comes to mind. But responsibilities increased so it was sidelined and I have forgotten all about it. Until now that there seem to be a threat to the things that I believe. Things that brought me to where I am now. Things that made me think, not just once, twice or three times but about a dozen times. Threat is defined as the possibility ...
