Lupin is a Philippine drama that aired on GMA Network. It is loosely based on the French crime fiction series of books featuring the character Arsène Lupin[1] and the Japanese manga and anime series Lupin III, in turn loosely based upon the original works. "Lupin" aired its last episode on August 17. 2007. (Source: Wikipedia.)
Born in the late 19th century, Lupin is a gentleman thief, a master of disguise, and an amateur detective. While operating on the wrong side of the law, he is still a force for good. Those whom Lupin defeats are worse villains than he. Other characters in the stories include Lupin's faithful accomplice Grognard and his lawman adversary Inspector Justin Ganimard. In some stories Lupin faces Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes (called "Herlock Sholmès" for copyright reasons).
It is true that the Universiti Tun Abdul Razek (UTAR) is the oldest virtual university in Malaysia -- however, to my mind it seems that the Open University Malaysia (OUM) is the most popular at the moment. Open University Malaysia or OUM is the seventh Malaysian private university opened in Malaysia, and is owned somewhat paradoxically by a consortium of 11 Malaysian public universities. As most Malaysians will know, the main campus is located on Jalan Tun Ismail, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Nonetheless, this being a virtual university, it doesn't matter where this university is physically located, in a "bricks and mortar" sense. .

"EDUCATION FOR ALL" IS THE MOTTO OF THE OPEN UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA (UNIVERSITI TERBUKA MALAYSIA), WHICH EVER SINCE ITS OPENING IN THE YEAR 2000 HAS ESTABLISHED 53 LEARNING CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. In other words the Open University Malaysia (OUM) is open to all, and is open all day long, even to those souls in the far-flung corners of the nation and the greater world.

The human hemorrhage
If the citizens are the lifeblood of the nation, then the Philippines is losing blood. It is hemorrhaging.
The human hemorrhage continues Econstant, relentless, and irreversible.
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) revealed last week that 1,005,767 left the country for jobs abroad between January to September this year.
That’s 111,752 every month, or 3,725 every day. If that is not hemorrhaging, I don’t know what is.
But look closer, dear reader. The POEA targets 1.3 million job contracts in 2008. If signed by year’s end, migrants this year would be 36 times the 1975 numbers when the exodus for jobs abroad began.
With a population of 92 million, one out of every 10 Filipinos is abroad. In three out of 10 homes, kids get paychecks instead of parents.
Labor export Ean official policy of the Arroyo government Eis nothing more than glorified official human trafficking, say critics.
The government profits from the human traffic. Money remittances from overseas Filipino workers(OFWs) topped at $14.4 billion in 2007, compared to the $1 million sent by migrants in 1975.
Filipino overseas workers are the world’s fourth-biggest remittance-senders, after Indians, Chinese and Mexicans.
Figures recently released by the Commission on Filipino Overseas say there are more than 9 million Filipinos who have left the country to work or live abroad. That is roughly 10 percent of the population.
Of the 9 million, 3.12 million are immigrants who have acquired legal residency abroad; 4.52 million are scattered around the globe to work Efrom scientist to servant, doctor to belly-dancer, broker to bartender.
There are also 1.36 million Filipinos who have fled poverty in the country to work undocumented abroad, living in constant fear of incarceration.
In fact, a report of the Department of Foreign Affairs released early this year say some 4,775 Filipinos Eincluding 1,103 women Eare languishing in foreign jails as of the end of 2005.
Approximately 2.7 million Filipinos are in the United States. More or less 1.5 million are in the Middle East, with the same number in East and South Asia, particularly in Japan and Malaysia.
Government figures of Filipinos abroad are largely inaccurate because many of those who go abroad refuse to be part of government statistics.
For example, when the conflict in Lebanon broke, the government reported the plan for the mass evacuation of 30,000 Filipino workers. The Commission on Filipino Overseas, however, showed that there were 34,437 Filipinos in Lebanon as of December 2004. The figures could easily be 40,000 today, even with the evacuation of some 4,000.
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration announced in its 2005 report that the government had deployed more than 1.2 million Filipinos to more than 180 country destinations. Proudly the POEA announced it had exceeded its target of 1 million.
The government is not interested in stopping the hemorrhaging; it is, in fact, leading the blood-letting process.
After the execution of Flor Contemplacion, the Filipina domestic helper in Singapore, Congress passed the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995 (R.A. 8042). It was a knee-jerk reaction to the outrage at home over the execution.
The law mandated the adoption of a state policy to deploy only skilled Filipino workers. I do not know what the government means by “skilledEbecause the tribe of Flor Contemplacion has increased by leaps and bounds. Skilled servants?
For example, the POEA reported Eagain with pride Ethat in 2005 the number of Filipino servants (euphemistically called “domestic helpersE ballooned by 35 percent, from 62,890 in 2004 to 85,088 in 2005. You can hardly consider domestic helpers under the category of “skilled workers.E
President Gloria Arroyo personally lobbies with the foreign governments (like Italy and Spain) to open their doors to Filipino servants. While the government often justifies that these workers will be “technicians and medical workersEmore than 75 percent of them are servants.
This, despite the provision in the Migrant Workers Act, to wit: E . . . the State does not promote overseas employment as a means to sustain economic growth and achieve national development.E
Ha, ha, ha! That is a big joke.

5,000 new jobs open in Kuwait for Pinoys
Philippines - Kuwaiti companies are hiring a total of 5,000 Filipino workers, the Philippine envoy to Kuwait has said.
Ambassador Ricardo Endaya was quoted in a report of the English language newspaper Arab Times on Monday as saying the news jobs are to be made known at the Philippine Employment & Remittance Summit 2009 at the Tayba Tent of Movenpick Hotel in the Kuwait Free Trade Zone in Shuwaikh.
“Most of these Kuwaiti companies need staff in the hotels, restaurants as well as semi- and skilled workers including workers in the health sector," Endaya said during the press conference Sunday to announce the summit.
“Despite the prevailing global economic recession resulting in the rising number of unemployment and retrenchment, we are glad that the demand for Filipino workers in Kuwait has not been greatly affected by this economic downturn," he was quoted by the report as saying.
Endaya said the two-day event aims to promote skilled Filipino workers through the exhibition of recruitment agencies that highlight their respective company profile and services, directed towards local employers and human resource offices.
“I believe that it’s just but timely now to hold this event. We hope to generate more jobs for Filipinos and we are also very happy that despite the strict implementation of the minimum salary requirement of Filipino workers at KD120, most companies have complied with this directive, with the exception of a handful few," he said.
The two-day event began Tuesday with manpower recruitment agencies in the Philippines as well as their counterparts in Kuwait and a number of dignitaries attending.
The event is under the auspices of the Philippine Embassy and the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) led by Labor Attaché Josephus Jimenez in cooperation with the Asian Cultural Network.
Endaya said the event was also meant to highlight the vital role played by foreign remittance companies in ensuring the fast and safe remittance of Filipino workers to their families in the Philippines.
“We have invited various remittance companies to the summit to boost networking between companies and the OFWs," he said. - Kimberly Jane T. Tan, GMANews.TV.
If you have traveled in China or Vietnam and stayed in a resort or gone to a pub or club, you might have noticed the Filipino bands performing there. In China you can find DJs, singers, dancers, and even ballroom dancing instructors from the Philippines, sometimes way out on the frontiers, as Good News Pilipinas reported.

AS IN THE REAL WORLD, ONLINE CHINA IS HUGE. As the Guardian newspaper from Britain recently posed: "The world's most popular blog? Lao Xu, written by the actor and director Xu Jinglei, which boasts 137 million visitors. The biggest distributor of online video? Tudou, which claims to have overtaken YouTube with over 1bn megabytes of data transfers every day. Then there is Baidu, which has trounced Google in the Mandarin search engine market, and Alibaba, whose boss Jack Ma is a national hero for humbling eBay and taking over Yahoo's operations in China. It is also only the second Internet-driven open university in Malaysia. The Gerakan Education Foundation -- later renamed Wawasan Education Foundation (WEF) -- in August 2002 was established as a tax-exempt charitable foundation to promote lifelong education to the public. Eight experts in open and distance learning were commissioned to prepare a detailed proposal for the establishment of an Open and Virtual University of Malaysia (OVUM). The report was submitted to the foundation in 2003.
Courses include degrees in information systems, computing science & artificial intelligence, business information systems, accounting and sales & marketing. The cost of an undergraduate programme is about RM16,000.
680 students had already enrolled with the university, which has four study centers located in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh and Johor Baru.
Wasawan Open University is now up and online and offers programmes in three Schools (Science and Technology, Business and Administration, and Foundation Studies.) Some of the courses covered are Bachelor of Technology in Electronic Commerce, Bachelor of Business in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and Bachelor of Business in Sales and Marketing.
