  • This House would adopt financial fair play in Brazilian leagues.

    Infoslide

    For the purposes of this debate, financial fair play is a set of rules that prevent teams from spending more than they earn. It requires that expenses on salaries and transfers be compatible with revenues from ticket sales, sponsorships, and TV rights, disregarding inflated values. Investments in infrastructure, youth development, and women's football are exempt from the restrictions. Those who fail to comply may face penalties such as fines, restrictions on signings, or even exclusion from competitions.

  • This house believes that Palawan should become the administrative capital of the Philippines

    Infoslide

    In the Philippines, "The Big One" refers to the speculated scenario that a catastrophic Magnitude 7.2 earthquake will be generated by a major movement of the West Valley Fault. This is anticipated to severely affect Metro Manila and surrounding provinces in Luzon including Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, and Laguna. In contrast, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) classifies Palawan as a province with low seismic hazard because it is situated on a more stable continental block and lacks major active fault lines. This means that Palawan is less likely to experience high intensities of ground motion.

  • This house, as Nezuko, would not kill Tanjiro

    Infoslide

    Muzan, the demon king, uses his blood and active consciousness to create demons. To combat Muzan, the Demon Slayer Corps was created with the single duty of eliminating all demons. Tanjiro, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, discovers that his sister, Nezuko, has become a demon but decides to save her since since she has retained her human consciousness. In the end, Nezuko, through immense willpower and aided by the human transformation drug of Tamayo, a doctor, is successfully able to regain her full humanity. On the other hand, Tanjiro was successfully able to defeat Muzan but now is near-dead from the injuries he sustained. However, in an alternate universe with a tragic twist of fate, Muzan, in his dying moments, successfully transfers his blood and consciousness to Tanjiro. While Tanjiro has now become a sun- resistant demon, Muzan's active consciousness controls Tanjiro. Muzan now uses Tanjiro's body to spread his blood and create more sun-resistant demons. However, Muzan discovers that Tanjiro would experience lucid intervals when Tanjiro is near his sister, allowing Tanjiro to temporarily regain his consciousness. Nezuko knows that the only way to stop Muzan is to suppress his active consciousness during a lucid interval and kill his brother.

  • This house believes that Drag Race Philippines should abandon the versus-the-world format and instead exclusively cast Filipino drag performers for an all-stars format

    Infoslide

    Drag Race is an international franchise which features drag performers who compete to win. For the non-regular "All-Stars" season, producers have the option to exclusively cast returning drag performers who previously competed in the same local franchise (e.g., Drag Race Espana) or adopt a versus-the- world format which would cast drag performers from different international franchises who largely represent their own home franchises (e.g., Drag Race UK versus the World, Drag Race Philippines Slaysian Royale).

  • This house supports school curricula prioritizing transnational narratives over national ones.

    Infoslide

Transnational narratives are approaches that organize the teaching of history based on phenomena that transcend national borders, such as economic exchanges, migrations, regional conflicts, international cooperation, and social transformations on a global scale.

  • This house believes that it is in the queer community’s interest to point out the Manosphere’s homoaffectivity.

    Infoslide

    The manosphere is a masculinist subculture composed exclusively of men who, in turn, promote masculine personal development, whether through criticism of feminism (strong or moderate) or by advocating that men invest their time in themselves without the need to seek a romantic relationship or build a family. It is a community centered on masculinity and men’s communities, espousing ideas such as “only men know how to love.”

  • This House would abolish politically appointed positions in Brazilian public administration.

    Infoslide

    Commissioned positions are understood as roles of direction, leadership, or advisory functions within public administration that are filled without a public competitive examination, through direct appointment by the competent authority. These positions are freely appointed and dismissed, and can be occupied by individuals from outside the public service. They do not include high-level political positions, such as State Ministers, State or Municipal Secretaries, which have a distinct legal nature and are linked to the formulation and implementation of public policies on behalf of the head of the Executive branch.

  • This House prefers a notion of happiness guided by ataraxia rather than one guided by eudaimonia.

    Infoslide

    For Aristotle, happiness, called eudaimonia, is the ultimate goal of human life. It is achieved when the individual lives according to reason and practices virtues such as justice, courage, and temperance. To be happy, in this sense, is to fulfill one's moral and rational potential, contributing to the common good. For Pyrrho, happiness is achieved through ataraxia, a state of inner tranquility and emotional imperturbability. It arises when the individual suspends judgment about what is "good" or "bad," accepting the world as it is and not depending on acting morally or rationally, but on cultivating detachment.
