You can’t change you
Change leadership is required to successfully react to opportunities for growth. To a certain extent, changes in the private sector are easier to attain, yet, according to leadership guru Dr. John P. Kotter, 70% of all major change efforts in private organizations fail because of the lack of holistic approach. In his article entitled Leading → Read More
‘Designated Survivor’
Gone are the days of red versus pink versus white. As the 17th president, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will have to sustain his campaign slogan of unity. As to his erstwhile main rivals, former Vice President Leni Robredo, former Senator Panfilo Lacson, former Mayor Isko Moreno, and former Senator Manny… → Read More

Audience of One | Siegfred Bueno Mison, Esq.

Reminiscing providence
IN December 2021, I was able to visit my alma mater in West Point, New York. Much to my amazement, there have been several noteworthy changes since I graduated 35 years ago! Gone are the days of two-minute push-ups, two-minute sit-ups, and two-mile run more known as the Army Physical… → Read More
An exercise in civility
Pandemonium broke loose in a basketball game. At least within the emotional banks of assistant coach Efren “Yong” Garcia of the San Juan Knights MPBL team, a maelstrom of sentiments conspired and caused him to spit at Valenzuela player Lord Casajeros. Garcia was caught on camera spitting on Casajeros late… → Read More
BBM’s metanoia | Siegfred Bueno Mison, Esq.
Whether clad in a Barong Tagalog or in a business suit, the 17th President of the Republic of the Philippines looks dapper in his recent interviews.Though he appears hopeful and forthright, his universal aura is not a far cry from how he looked like more than three decades ago when, at age 28,… → Read More
Tip your hat | Siegfred Bueno Mison, Esq.
Two weeks after the elections, many are probably still feeling a tinge of sadness over the defeat of their candidates, while some are animated with the triumph of their chosen contenders. After all, never have we seen such an enormous amount of people participation, both digital and physical, in a… → Read More
Pink Samuels | Siegfred Bueno Mison, Esq.
Some 31 million votes appear to be a resounding victory for the son of a dictator who ruled the Philippines with an iron fist through martial law and who amassed ill-gotten wealth through his more than 20 years in power. Most of the detractors of incoming President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.… → Read More
The joy of discovering wrong
Inspirational leader Andy Stanley once said: “Difference is inevitable. Division is a choice.” In his book, “Not In It To Win It,” Stanley explained how tension is created not by difference in opinions but by allowing these innate differences to divide and polarize society. Each word can be taken negatively… → Read More
Authority in crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing is a modern name for a phenomenon that has existed ever since there have been crowds of people. The term, devised in 2005 by two editors of Wired magazine, refers to the basic concept of placing an open call to the public, usually via the Internet, in looking for new ideas,… → Read More
Our two weeks’ notice
IN the United States, the term “two weeks’ notice” has evolved to mean the resignation letter given in advance by an employee to an employer.

What does the taxman say?
I have been teaching Wills and Succession in several law schools for the past 20 years. I know more than enough about properties belonging to the estate of the decedent for tax purposes. Some Marcos apologists claim that assets that may have been illegally acquired should not form part of… → Read More
The 10 spies | Siegfred Bueno Mison, Esq.
Utterly fascinating how “chismis”—the art of Filipino gossip —has evolved over the years. Not too long ago, when neither a telephone nor a computer was visible in any household, young and old alike would gather around for a usual “chit-chat.” No time was designated as appropriate as long as mischievous… → Read More
Synchronized murder | Siegfred Bueno Mison, Esq.
The newly appointed Chief PNP is hardly known outside of the world of the PMA and PNP. Very unassuming and competent, Police General Dionardo Carlos, designated as the 27th PNP Chief in 2021, made headline news when a police helicopter crashed and killed one and injured two crew members. The… → Read More
I am ‘write’ behind you
Relegating the Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, and the People Power Anniversary to the background, one may consider this particular month of February to be oddly different due to the mad rush by candidates to secure the much sought-after religious endorsements. The Catholic charismatic group El Shaddai, through its founder… → Read More
Center of attention: Towns wins All-Star 3-Point Contest
CLEVELAND— Karl-Anthony Towns gave big men everywhere something to shoot for. Minnesota's seven-footer became the first center to win the 3-Point Shooting Contest, defeating seven guards during the National Basketball Association's All-Star Saturday and providing a memorable moment on a night the dunk contest barely got off the ground. Towns,… → Read More
The ruminant | Siegfred Bueno Mison, Esq.
I recently learned that digestion is a very deliberate process for ruminant animals. Whenever such an animal, like a cow, eats grass, the food gets to the first compartment (the rumen) of its 4-tier stomach. After the water from what they eat gets extracted at this stage, it is raised… → Read More

Organizational culture reflects why people do things in the company. Culture, which is the soul of any organization, is more felt than seen. Strategy, on the → Read More
