Respeto

This indie film's title was also given by an old victim to his juvenile thieves. He had them fix the damage they made in his house and in the end, reformed their twisted morals.

Successful self- mediation!

The Devil is a Sissy

TCM resurrects films of which we were not even aware. This one of the star of the month Mickey Rooney has him stealing reserve tires with two other boys to raise money for his father's tombstone. When caught, the trio was interviewed in private by the judge who got them into probation. In the end, they caught an older band of criminals!

Wise mediator-judge.

The lease goes on

The lease was for renewal but the tenant was not ready for the increase in rent. One way out was to transfer the corresponding loan to a savings bank with less interest in money.

Win-win

Opposition spokespersons

With the proliferation of personable government spokeswomen, the opposition has returned the favor with the likes of Agot Isidro et al. Joining the fray is the most unlikely Joema Sison. He has castigated his former student DU30 of being the primary protector of drug lords.

We rest our case.

Dalian na!

Beset by so many crises, DU30 now opts to roll out the new trains ordered by PNoy so was originally a no-no.

Mediating MRT is another TRAIN dilemma for this odd ministration.

Mediating Basketbrawl

In the Gilas PH vs Australian basketball match, an Amboy PH cadet player Troy Rike did two things right. He protected the Aussie player from further harm. Then, he donated his reward money to a relevant charity.

The shot taken of him standing over the beleaguered Aussie could make a poster for mediators.

Mediating Motivation

"US business professors Michael Mazzeo, Paul Oyer and Scott Schaeffer, authors of 'The Roadside MBA' list several strategies to incentivize employees:

1. Link to quality performance.
2. Match with responsibilities.
3. Ensure performance measures truly work.
4. Incentivize the team rather than just the individual."

Mediation's motivation is for disputants to regain peace of mind after their compromise agreement.

Where have all the accusers gone

The Supreme Court Ass-ociate Justices are now lining up to see who among them will replace the Chief they ousted. Justice could only be served on another hope-fool, former Court Administrator Midas touch Marquez who is being charged for the mishandling of judiciary improvement fund from the World Bank.

Bilog ang world.

Mediating Massacres

Mamasapano was blame game to the highest level. Now the recent Samar "misencounter" between the PNP and the military is just following Murphy's Law.

How the perspective changes when one is on the defensive

Mississippi Music

To the ears of parents as this company sells instruments primarily to students on a rent-to-own basis. It takes into consideration aside from the expense, the possibility of young people quiting the band midterm. It also offers additional maintenance and replacement service in case, "say, their child's trombone gets run over by a bus."
From Queena Lee- Chua's column All in the Family article entitled "Setting the best price"

Now that's a Compromise Agreement covering all possible conditions.
