Manuel V. Pangilinan, CL, GCrL; (born July 14, 1946 in Manila, Philippines) is a Filipino businessman and sports patron. He is the managing director and CEO of First Pacific Company Limited, a Hong Kong-based investment management and holding company with operations in the Asia-Pacific region. He is also First Pacific’s chief executive for the group’s investments in the Philippines, such as Metro Pacific Investments Corporation, PLDT and Philex Mining Corporation. He is the chairman emeritus of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) and was its first president, serving two consecutive terms from 2008 to 2015.
Due to his connections with the Salim Group (which effectively controls First Pacific and key subsidiaries such as PLDT and Metro Pacific Investments Corporation), a company which is alleged[1] to have flourished due to the close ties of its founder with the Indonesian President Suharto, Manny Pangilinan's ethics and probity have at times been called into question[2]. He is alleged to be the puppet of the Chinese-Indonesian tycoon Anthoni Salim of the Salim Group (not least by President Duterte of the Philippines[3]) in order to skirt around the Philippines' foreign ownership laws.

1 I having trouble getting my ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries to load from app.xaml. My WPF app has a static class with a Main defined and startup object set to it. Within Main I created an instance of App and run it. The override OnStartup fires and the mainwindow.cs InitializeComponent gives the error "Message "Cannot find resource named 'MaterialDesignFloatingActionMiniAccentButton'. If I put the resources in the mainwindow.xaml everything is fine, but I wanted them to load at the app level so I they are not in each page. Any help appreciated. public partial class App protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e) base.OnStartup(e); var app = new MainWindow(); var context = new MainWindowViewModel(); app.DataContext = context; app.Show(); from the Main.. var app = new App(); app.Run(); app.xaml.. <Application x:Class="GS.Server.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:...
up vote 2 down vote favorite There is a clear pattern that show for two separate subsets (set of columns); If one value is missing in a column, values of other columns in the same subset are missing for any row. Here is a visualization of missing data My tries up until now, I used ycimpute library to learn from other values, and applied Iterforest. I noted, score of Logistic regression is so weak (0.6) and thought Iterforest might not learn enough or anyway, except from outer subset which might not be enough? for example the subset with 11 columns might learn from the other columns but not from within it's members, and the same goes for the subset with four columns. This bar plot show better quantity of missings So of course, dealing with missings is better than dropping rows because It would affect my prediction which does contain the same missings quantity relatively. Any better way to deal with these ? [EDIT] The nullity pattern is confirmed: machine-learning cor...
