The Business Glossary, which WAS one of the items at the top menu, was intended to give Pinoy Entrepreneurs an easy access to terms and phrases that they would commonly bump into in ordinary business transactions, as well as the day-to-day workings of their businesses or entrepreneurial endeavors. The Business Glossary was broken down into certain categories (e.g., General Business, HR and Labor, Corporations) for the convenience of the members of the Pinoy Entrepreneurs community.  

 

You may have noticed that the Business Glossary is  no longer found at the top menu (and you may also be wondering why there have been no updates here for the past days). Update: The Business Glosssary had been reinstated.

 

Well, this hobby has taken me to another project - the Philippine Online Law Dictionary. The Dictionary contains definition of terms and phrases used in the Philippine legal system, based on laws, administrative issuances and jurisprudence.

The source (in parenthesis) of the definition is included for easy reference. A definition based on jurisprudence may not completely follow the arrangement of words or sentences as appearing in the actual decision of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, but great effort is made to be faithful to the language and meaning of the decision. It's an ambitious collaborative project that will take years to be established. Still, we have to start somewhere. If online research tools, like repositories of jurisprudence, are partly taking the place of traditional sources, a Law Dictionary for the Philippines should also go online. This project has just started, so please do not expect this to be exhaustive. Not yet.

 

Terms and phrases relating to business are, of course, included in the the Dictionary, and having a Business Glossary here is a duplication of work. So, if you have a term or a phrase that you want to look up, please proceed to the Philippine Online Law Dictionary.
