The 1986 EDSA Revolution? These Are Just Some of the Questions That You Will Be Able to Answer As You Study This Module
What Is This Module About? “The people united will never be defeated.” The statement above is about “people power.” It means that if people are united, they can overcome whatever challenges lie ahead of them. The Filipinos have proven this during a historic event that won the admiration of the whole world—the 1986 EDSA “People Power” Revolution. What is the significance of this EDSA Revolution? Why did it happen? If revolution implies a struggle for change, was there any change after the 1986 EDSA Revolution? These are just some of the questions that you will be able to answer as you study this module. This module has three lessons: Lesson 1 – Revisiting the Historical Roots of the 1986 EDSA Revolution Lesson 2 – The Ouster of the Dictator Lesson 3 – The People United Will Never Be Defeated What Will You Learn From This Module?

Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System
International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.89 (2016), pp.9-16 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2016.89.02 Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System Tomas U. Ganiron Jr IAENG, Hongkong College of Architecture, Qassim University, Buraidah City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 in Metro Manila with the aim of characterizing its technological evolution and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. The study provides the concept of understanding the recent operation and developmental resolutions that the management of LRTA line 1 is providing as a preparation to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the commuters. Through the application of technology and scientific principles by means of transportation engineering for managing the facilities of the LRTA line 1 system, the system can provide safer, more rapid, more convenient, economic and environmental friendly way of transportation for the increasing demand of commuters. However, LRT 1 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The traffic jams in Manila are staggering. Only a few traffic lights often disregarded separate the combatants. Every one force his way across the junctions, thus blocking everyone else and so the government decided to find a solution. -
Pedestrian Simulation of Metro Rail Transit (Mrt) Line 7 Station 1-North Avenue Station, Quezon City, Philippines
International Journal of GEOMATE, Feb., 2020, Vol.18, Issue 66, pp.156-162 ISSN: 2186-2982 (P), 2186-2990 (O), Japan, DOI: https://doi.org/10.21660/2020.96320 Geotechnique, Construction Materials and Environment PEDESTRIAN SIMULATION OF METRO RAIL TRANSIT (MRT) LINE 7 STATION 1-NORTH AVENUE STATION, QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES Romnick P. De Los Reyes1, Marloe B. Sundo2 and *Marish S. Madlangbayan2 1Sustainable Transport & Infrastructure Development Consulting, Inc., Philippines; 2Department of Civil Engineering, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines *Corresponding Author, Received: 26 Sept. 2019, Revised: 14 Dec. 2019, Accepted: 31 Dec. 2019 ABSTRACT: Simulation of pedestrian flow represents an advanced approach in modeling and evaluating train stations. In this study, pedestrian simulation was done using the simulation software Simio to assess the passenger capacity of MRT 7 Station 1-North Avenue Station through level of service (LOS), queuing system, and train facility utilization. This paper presents the actual situation inside the train station while predicting the behavior of queuing pedestrians and provides an accurate estimate of the volume-to-capacity ratio of passengers entering the station. The study’s approach debugged the conventional assignments of pedestrians currently used in the field. The constructed three-dimensional building of the North Avenue Station served as framework for the simulation. Sources, sinks, servers, and paths of the software were the main elements of the simulation. Each library was defined by their time usage based on data gathered. Time usages of 1.21 sec. and 240 sec. for sources and sinks, respectively, were used in the simulation. Servers were defined by the train facilities utilized in the simulation, namely, automatic ticketing machines (TVM) with time usage of 43 seconds, ticketing toll gates with 1.4 seconds, and manual ticketing windows (BOM) with 20 seconds. -

Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1959–1974
Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1959–1974 By Joseph Paul Scalice A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in South and Southeast Asian Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Associate Professor Jerey Hadler, Chair Professor Peter Zinoman Professor Andrew Barshay Summer 2017 Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1957-1974 Copyright 2017 by Joseph Paul Scalice 1 Abstract Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1959–1974 by Joseph Paul Scalice Doctor of Philosophy in South and Southeast Asian Studies University of California, Berkeley Associate Professor Jerey Hadler, Chair In 1967 the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (pkp) split in two. Within two years a second party – the Communist Party of the Philippines (cpp) – had been founded. In this work I argue that it was the political program of Stalinism, embodied in both parties through three basic principles – socialism in one country, the two-stage theory of revolution, and the bloc of four classes – that determined the fate of political struggles in the Philippines in the late 1960s and early 1970s and facilitated Marcos’ declaration of Martial Law in September 1972. I argue that the split in the Communist Party of the Philippines was the direct expression of the Sino-Soviet split in global Stalinism. The impact of this geopolitical split arrived late in the Philippines because it was initially refracted through Jakarta. -
