Terten then made his latest speech in the Araneta colloseu regarding the current war in east Asia.

"If Zhouran refuses to back down regarding his threats of invasion, we and our allies and the whole mighty force of SEATO will invade their states and peoples from all sides. This is the final chance for peace that we may have. What am i afraid by the way for these people is that they will misunderstand my call for peace as an act of cowardice. We wish not to say that our acts be seen like a form of surrender in a silent way" *crowd laugh* "But this people, who cannot squelch their hunger for territory that is inherently ours, for they have seen certain territory to be theirs such as South China Sea...because it has the word China in it." *crowd laughs very hard* "Therefore, we sway our claim on the Luzon Strait....for the word Luzon is in it's name" *crowd laughs and cheers* "Philippines, Mabuhay!" *Terten raises his clenched fist to salute the crowd while the crowd salutes his back shouting "Mabuhay" altogether in a fanatical roar.

Armaments production now in full swing

In the case of the imminent war against other nations due to the Asigna government's involvement in the Southern Rothinzil conflict, the war ministry announces that it will be doing a massive project in order to build more factories to extend the capabilities of the Fuiekwas (airforce) and the Asigna Philippine navy, the Racoa.

"Not only will this extend our capability to defend the bayan, this will also increase jobs and lower the unemployment present in the bayan as the expansion of the policy, Ordinance Palaris in SEATO, plus, with Taiwan now at our contol yet destroyed by our invasion, has increased the population of our country to a point were unemployment is rampant. The punong has promised that also, other services will be opened for application to increase jobs for our people. So instead of us buying from other countries, we make our own and cherish what resources we have been blessed with. Truly, we are the rightful ones chosen to control and make use of them."

- Domer Eluide, the bayan minister of war's statement regarding the topic.

Actor killed in car crash

Michael Rosmond, 21, was tragically killed in a car accident. The actor was on his way to the set of his new movie, The Red Ring where he plays Ricky Nyman, a witness of a brutal murder, when he was killed in an accident 24 miles away. Christina Drasvick, who is supposed to play Lily Nyman, his murdered sister spoke to one of our reporters. “He was like my brother, like the brother [Michael] played. He was a brother to all of us, and he will be missed.” Rosmond was traveling down Cantus ST, when a speeding car rammed him into the wall of a nearby building. No one else was hurt, except for minor injuries. Michael is pictured below, four days before the incident.
Image
Daniel Tris, the director of The Red Ring, says the film will continue, but with a different ending scene than planned “I’m sure Mike would want me to continue, with this project, with all the effort he put in.”

The bayan is under attack!

Das-husland planes entered Asigna airspace and dropped powerful bombs with power unrivaled even with our weapons in development. The bombing was named by the propaganda minister as "the kidlat" (The lightning). It is confirmed by the organization of the red cross that about more than 1 million people have perished in the attack. The bayan however, dares to defend the fatherland against these murderous pirates. The punong (leader) Terten has declared a state of emergency o be declared all over the nation and is preparing for an aerial battle of Asigna.

Filipino parliament battle in action

Members of the parliament battle of over where the budget priority should be allocated. The members of the opposition, the liberal party argue that the budget should not be excessively be wasted on defense but rather the welfare and spiritual projects that are heavily neglected by the massive government budget.

"The amount that the Asigna party is allocating for their defense projects is undeniably galactic." Argues member of the liberal party, the opposition party in the country. Yet the president of the Asigna loyalty coalition argues that it is all needed for protection from the growing interests of the foreign nations. The Asigna government has been known to allocate at least 17 % of the government budget as military expenditures. Recently, the punong himself ordered that up to 8000 tanks pre bought from the Lyran armamentary industries, this caused a huge outrage to the opposition who claims that the government spends on the military more than healthcare.

"Should Healthcare instead have become our priority, it should be clear that we could have saved millions of lives that are suffering from the undeniably unaffordable healthcare made only available to the elite. Well, we could have expected this kind of arrangement since the punong's ambitions are imperialistic and destructive."

-Gary Reymundo, head of the congressonary opposition, liberal party coalition.

However, it is not only to the extent of the grand parliament (grand forum as it is sometimes known) that has went into this kind of conflict, for even members of the lower house, the local congressonary have been at conflict to the same issues arguing to where the budget priority must be allocated.

Recently, Terten has declared a state of war with at least 2 nations, one on South Rothinzil before support was withdrawn and the other on Das-husland. The war went at it's closest to Asigna land when several Das-huslandic bombers bombed the major city of Manila with thermobaric bombards leaving 1 million people dead. However, as the Terten government refuses to stop it's military campaigns the opposition argues that the path the country will take will be rough and uncanny.

"Are you sure that your punong (leader) is really the man for the job of running this country? He claims to be yet we all know that we are experiencing near collapse under his regime due to his excessive and unnecessary declaration of wars that are undeniably affecting millions of lives of the people of the bayan. This must be answered by the punong who is inherently steps closer in becoming a military junta regime."

-Gary Reymundo, head of the congressonary opposition, liberal party coalition.

Erin Terten orders execution of the members of the Philippine socialist party for economic recession

CAVITE, PHILIPPINES. The punong (leader) of the Greater Philippine bayan has just ordered the purge of the socialist party after the party suggested implementation of socialist policies on the bayan. These socialist policies were approved by the punong which has unexpectedly caused the plight of businessmen from the nation, resulting in the plummeting of the Asigna economy from level 90 to 60. There is still no word whether the the execution will be carried out somehow now or tomorrow but the government manipulated state media, the ABS CBN claims that the party officials themselves had said that the execution will be carried out "Sometime this week."

Celsan B5 spied
Image
Image
Celsan's new midsize sedan, the B5 has been spied testing by our undercover reporter. Fitting in alongside the 502, this will be available only as a sedan initially, with a stationwagon and coupe to follow soon.

Unlike the current car, the B5 will be softer styled, and gain newer, more efficient engines but the current car will continue as the B5 Clasico 3.

Engines will be a 1.4-litre/125bhp, 1.6-litre/148bhp and 2.0-litre/178bhp 4-cylinder turbo petrol, with a 1.6-litre/128bhp 4-cylinder turbodiesel available from early 2014.
This B5 will be exported to foreign markets, but not always under the Celsan branding; if state-run manufacturers wish to use the design, Celsan is licensing it to them.

Safety features have been increased on the new car, and fuel efficiency will be too.

It will be built in Cǎochǎng, and will be priced to undercut the major rivals from Shaf and VLT.

Prices and specs have yet to be revealed, but we expect prices to rise a little, although the current car costs £15,000, tailing off at £24,500 for a fully-loaded V6 petrol model.

ISSUE 15
MONDAY October 16, 2013
VOLUME XXV



President Creates New Cabinet-Level Position



Image
Mrs. Emma van Hollen, the first US Secretary of Foreign Trade & Development Cooperation



WRITTEN BY:
Alexander McKinley, Editor-in-Chief


During a special press conference at President's Hall, this morning, Press Secretary Kelly Witherspoon announced that the President had signed the Official documents to establish the new cabinet-level position of Secretary of Foreign Trade & Development Cooperation. Witherspoon also announced that President Roosevelt has nominated Emma van Hollen to become the person to have this job.

By creating this new Office the President started one of the largest reorganization in the federal government since the Department of Defense was created via the National Security Act of 1947. The position of US Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade will be abolished and the duties/responsabilities will be transfered to the Office of the new Secretary. However no new Department will be established. The post of Secretary of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation has been established at the Department of State. This confirms the importance of cohesion between those two policy areas. Future measures will enlarge the scope for small and medium-sized enterprises to invest in developing countries, and the forging of new coalitions between companies, NGOs and individuals, such as the coalition combating HIV/AIDS.

A revolving fund of ƒ1 billion financed in the years 2014-2016 from the development cooperation budget also reflects the closer connection between foreign trade and development cooperation. Established in collaboration with the business community, this fund will support investments in developing countries, especially by small and medium-sized enterprises. Another fund of ƒ250 million will be established for international security will be set up as a permanent budget to promote peace and crisis management operations for developing countries.

Nominated to become the first Secretary of Foreign Trade & Development Cooperation is Emma van Hollen. Prior to her nomination van Hollen was the administrator of USAID, one of the agencies she will also head as Secretary. Emma van Hollen is a member of the Democratic Party and was a US Member of the House of Representatives for five years before she was asked to serve as USAID Administrator. She is considered to be a good friend of President Roosevelt. It will, however, be up to the Senate wheter they will confirm his nomination or not. Hearings start tommorow and we expect a vote at the end of the week. When appointed Administrator for USAID she was confirmed with a unanimous vote.

Marcos decree passed, Taipei city, set on fire

Image


Manila, Greater Malayan bayan. The punong (leader), Erin Terten, just ordered Taipei city's infrastructure to be set on fire due to the threat of unprovoked invasion by the defender states in support of South Rothinzil in connection to the conflict of the latter state. The KK Paramilitary agents, the Asigna government paramilitary agents had been ordered to execute the recently passed "Marcos decree", ordering that all infrastructure that will be deemed usable by the enemy will be destroyed. By 3:45 AM, Nearly all of the city is set on fire by repeated raids by flame throwing tanks believed to be belonging to that of the Asigna 6th Armored regimen. It is still unknown how many Chinese casualties are there present in the burning of the city. Until now, latest updates show the fire has not yet been put out in any way. As we, the media team writes this, we have witnessed several fire fighters but all they do is watch the city burn.

Taiwan is territory that had been annexed after the all-out invasion of Asigna Philippines on its territory. The nation of Zhouran attempted to oppose the invasion but little was done militarily, causing the fall of the Republic of China government.

Volkswagen Ireland ASTHLM updates Passat range
Image
Image
Volkswagen Ireland ASTHLM has launched a revised Passat range; the choice of four-door saloon and estate bodystyles continue unchanged, but the line-up has been slightly revised.

Entry-level cars get a 1.6-litre/113bhp 4-cylinder petrol, whilst a 1.8-litre/158bhp 4-cylinder turbo with Volkswagen's Fuel Stratified Injection is available, and rounding off the petrol
line-up is a 2.0-litre/207hp turbo petrol. The turbodiesel models are available with a choice of 1.6-litre/104bhp, 2.0-litre/138bhp and 2.0-litre/168bhp 4-cylinder turbodiesels featuring their award-winning BlueMotion turbodiesel engines. 1.8 petrol is badged as 1.8 TFSI 160 and 2.0 petrols are 2.0 TSI.
We won't be getting the powerful 3.6 V6 or the R36 models here though; the Passat is marketed as a family car here.

A choice of front- or all-wheel-drive drivetrains are offered, but only the turbodiesel models offer the 4MOTION all-wheel-drive as an option.

Trim levels are Trendline, Comfortline and Highline; the entry-level Trendline model is available only with the 1.6 and 1.8 TFSI petrol or 1.6 BlueMotion and 2.0 TDI 135 turbodiesel.
Comfortline is a step up, offering only the 1.8 TFSI petrol or all three turbodiesels; whilst Highline offers only the 1.8 TFSI and 2.0 TFSI petrols and all three turbodiesels.

Prices start at €27,890 for the entry-level version, going up to €69,450 for the top-line versions; automatic transmission is about €590 over the manual, and estate version prices vary over the saloons.

Yesterday Night, unknow Military Aircraft Bombed Kiev in the early morning, 6:03 AM. The Kadolhan Government suppose that the Aircrafts came from the South, mostly they say that Arabia has declared war the 2nd time. The President of Kadolha in 10:10 AM said this:"If these Arabs bombed us again there is no way they can get out of this war. We will not let them bomb us like this again! If they did this, I will declare war on Arabia. Arabia is going to be a Nation in Fire, burning totally. Arab Men will be shot or tortured to death if they not tell us the Information we need. When we catch the Arab Leader, he'll be the Prisoner of War!". As the Arab Leader has no word to this, he says that the Planes were not from Arabia. The Arab Leader would never bomb or declare an war on Kadolha. He knows good what happened to Arabia when he declared war on Kadolha. He suppose that the Aircrafts came from Israel, Egypt, Libya, Syria or Algeria.

Exclusive with CEO of Sky High Architecture.
Tom Kerboss, Chief Editor

Here we post an exclusive interview between Chief Editor, Business Khantari, Tom Kerboss together with CEO of Sky High Architecture. Sky High Architecture is an architectural design of distinguished experts in the world and received many requests and orders.

We are proud to be able to share information and views presented in detail by their CEO.

What are the main ingredients for an effective leader?
There are several things that make someone an effective leader. One is listening to the needs of the customers or the people that you represent. Without this, you cannot say you are a good leader: the people who depend on you, rely on you have not had a say or input, and to make the right decisions you need to listen to your managers, the people under you and your customers. Also, you need to have respect for others. It is because of this respect for those who are poorer than us that we are giving at least 5% of our profits to charity. Without respect, you have nothing. You also need to have a vision, a plan for the future. You need to know what to do and have a plan for things that might go wrong, because they will. And you need to be able to implement that plan, that vision. An effective leader respects others and their input, and has a vision and implements it well. Without these, the power entrusted in a leader is all for naught: there is nothing they can do to help the world.

What is the role of humility in leadership?
People will not like you or trust you if you are not humble. If you come across to them as a lofty bigwig, you aren't going to connect with the people that you need the most. Leadership does not work without people to lead: if people do not have confidence in you because you are not humble, then there is no point in leadership because they cannot trust you to lead.

Do you believe you are being courageous by pushing the boundaries of business and sustainability?
There are no boundaries between business and sustainability. Business cannot exist without sustainability. One day, the resources on this Earth on which we rely on will run out. That's unavoidable. What is avoidable is a big impact on the next generation and how they can use the resources that they have left. By being sustainable, we lessen the burden on their shoulders. We can be courageous in this stand, as others may not follow our lead at first. It takes courage to go on a path that others might not go on. It takes courage to lead, but not courage to follow, and we need to lead in this field. That's why we have been leading. The world needs it.

How important is transparency in driving change?
People need to know what is going on in the world. If they are fearful that something is going wrong, then they will not trust the government because they will not know if what they are saying is true. One of the points I keep refering back to is trust. If people cannot trust what you are doing, they will not support it. If people do not support change, then change will not occur. Of course, all this also applies to business.

How important is it that leaders can work with uncertainty?
Uncertainty is certain. You need to learn to make a plan when, not if, something goes wrong. That's the way we have approached it at Sky High: there is always a Plan B for expansion, and most times even a Plan C. Without these plans, we might not have gotten as far as we have gotten today. Dealing with this uncertainty is paramount, one of the most important skills someone can learn.

How do you stop yourself from getting overwhelmed by the problems facing the world?
It takes patience. That's really something that's been hard for me over the years, but I have learned to be patient and just deal with things as they happen. Of course, I can't respond to everything. That's how I think about it- I should focus on the problems that I care most about. I can make a difference that way- I can't if I try and do everything at once.

Former Prime Minister appointed to Durvyaian Senate


Eldony, DU - Former prime minister Daniel Northrop was officially sworn in to the Durvyaian Senate Wednesday afternoon. The surprise appointment by Prime Minister Aaron Ross further demonstrates that while Ross faced Northrop's Conservative government as Leader of the Opposition from 2006 until the New Liberals' election victory in 2009, there was and remains a mutual respect between Ross and Northrop. Ross's leadership was instrumental in bringing down the Wil Clifton government during the banking scandal in 2006. Clifton, who was fiercely opposed by Ross, resigned in September that year, along with then-deputy prime minister Allan Croft, who was seen as a likely successor to Clifton. Northrop, who had been Foreign Minister in Clifton's government, was hastily chosen as the new Conservative leader, making him Prime Minister. Northrop's appointment forced Ross to change tactics, many times expressing regret and almost sympathy that Northrop would ascend to the highest elected office through an embarrassing scandal in Northrop's party. Ross and the New Liberal opposition would continually suggest over then next 2 and one-half years that Northrop could end the "painful" time in office by calling for an election. This unusual tactic garnered respect from Northrop for the charismatic young Opposition Leader, as Ross did not feel the animus he felt for Clifton toward Northrop. After the Conservatives were defeated in 2009, Northrop issued an apology to the Durvyaian public for the actions of his party during the Clifton scandal. The apology was Northrop's last act as Prime Minister, and reportedly earned further respect from Ross, who succeeded Northrop as Prime Minister.

Ross and newly sworn-in Senator Northrop walked through the hallway outside the Senate chamber and posed for cameras, both men making brief statements.

Leanore City Gets Some Upgrades


With The Commonwealth of Leanore edging closer and closer to bettering our technologies, the Commonwealth Officials thought it was time to upgrade Leanore City, and other cities around the Commonwealth. These upgrades will be everywhere, changing our daily lives as we know it, from traffic lights, to bicycles, to the way we use the train.

One of the amazing new technological designs is the Land Airbus, something coming to Leanore City TODAY.

Image

the Land Airbus – a giant car-swallowing bus that could actually hit the streets of Leanore's cities. The vehicle is longer than previous versions, it can bend around corners, and it travels along rails to enable smaller vehicles to pass underneath. This innovative urban transportation solution has a high-tech interior that is entered via a glass elevator that drops down at air lift stations. While passengers are getting on and off the vehicle, there is no hold up in traffic – cars just keep going under the Land Airbus.

Compared to Metro, the new public transportation vehicle would cost less, have a shorter construction period and almost match passenger capacity. It is an economical and safe way of commuting that eliminates spending hours stuck in traffic.

Image

While building and creating Land Airbus Fleets may cost billions of dollars, Commonwealth officials are saying that the money may come out of the DoD (Department of Defense) Budget, and others are saying that it will come out of the DoT (Department of Transportation) budget.

More innovations and technological advances will soon come to Leanore City. Officials are saying it could only be a matter of days before the changes are set in place for the citizens. All innovations are meant to better everyone's lives.

The Kuraizawa Leader

Election Results!
Once again, in a completely unnecessary, free, and democratic election process demonstrating the incredible goodwill of our Beloved Matriarch, President and Supreme Leader Chiri Kitsu won 100% of the votes and deigned to serve another glorious term as our all-powerful, glorious head of state. Radiant crowds gathered in the thousands today in the Grand Square in Kuraizawa to hear President Kitsu's inauguration speech, in which she promised to "lead our great nation to heights of prosperity and power that can only be envied by others..."

Beware of Glasgow Smiles!
The HAMASHO government is urging people to stay indoors after dark, as reports of the Slit-Mouthed Woman appearances increase. If confronted by her, under NO circumstances answer her questions or attempt to run; reports indicate that chances of survival increase dramatically by confusing her with a question of your own, or distracting her with sweets. The Minister of Information, Kafuka Fuura, however, has stated; "There's no possible way something so horrible could exist in our nation! Don't be mean! Tell her just how you feel about that beautiful, foot-long smile of hers!" Other officials say...

Local Elections Approach K'oyena

It has been four years since last local elections in K'oyena, and it is time for the people of K'oyena to choose who will be mayor in their cities, towns and villages. Prime-minister Landolfo Tommasi described this as an oppurtunity to demonstrate the close link between the Communist Party and the k'oyenese public.

Several prominent mayors will not be running for reelection. This includes the mayors of Katxkahúyya, Pwerto, Palatx'i and Wiñanúñatukuykodje. Seferino Yanola, the mayor of Katxkahúyya since 2009, will be returning to a simpler job in the Ministry of Finance and Price Control.
