ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. FILIPINO 1. Metro Manila 2. Ang Maynila ang kabisera ng Pilipinas, at ang metro area ay binubuo ng labinganim na iba't ibang mga lungsod. Bukod sa pagiging kabiserang lungsod ng bansa, ito rin ang pangunahing sentro ng bansa para sa ekonomiya, kultura, edukasyon, at lipunan. Ang metro area ang sentro ng pamahalaan para sa bansa, ngunit ang lungsod mismo ay ang talagang kabisera. Sa loob ng metro area, ang Quezon City ang pinakamalaki. 3. Ang metro area ng Maynila ay nakaupo sa isang tangway kasama ng Laguna de Bay sa isang dako, Manila Bay sa kabilang dako, at ang Ilog Pasig na umaagos sa gitna. Ang rehiyon ay isa din sa pinakamalaking bahaing kapatagan sa Pilipinas. Ito rin ay kilala bilang isang lugar ng kapwa kapuna-punang kayamanan at matinding kahirapan. Marami ding mamahaling komunidad sa Metro Manila. Iyan ay kabaligtaran sa napakaraming iskwater sa iba't ibang bahagi ng metro area, lalo na sa lupang pagmamay-ari ng gobyerno na kasalukuyang hindi ginagamit at sa tabi ng mga linya ng tren na dumadaan sa lugar. 4. Mayroon ding ilang mga mahahalagang palatandaan sa metropolitan area ng Maynila. Isa sa mga pinakakilalang parke sa lugar ay ang Rizal Park, na naglalaman ng Monumento ni Rizal, isang mausoleo na gumugunita kay Jose Rizal, isang martir na nagsulong para sa mga repormang panlipunan at ang kanyang pagkamatay ay nagpasiklab ng Himagsikang Pilipino. Bukod sa Monumento ni Rizal, ang parke ay naglalaman din ng mga kahanga- hangang hardin ng mga Hapon at Instik, ang Pambansang Museo ng Lahing Pilipino, at isang napakalaking relief map ng bansa. ENGLISH 1. Metro Manila 2. Manila is the capital of the Philippines, and the metro area is comprised of sixteen different cities. In addition to being the capital city of the country, it is also the nation's main center for economics, culture, education, and society. The metro area is the "seat of government" for the country, but the city itself is actually the capital. Within the metro area, Quezon City is the largest. CONT'D OVER FILIPINOPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #1 - TOP 10 FILIPINO REGIONS AND CITIES: METRO MANILA 2 3. The metro area of Manila sits on an isthmus with Laguna de Bay on one side, Manila Bay on the other, and the Pasig River running down the middle. The region is also one of the largest flood plains in the Philippines. It is also known as an area of both conspicuous wealth and extreme poverty. There is an abundance of expensive gated communities in Metro Manila. That's in contrast to the numerous illegal slums in various parts of the metro area, especially on government-owned land that's not currently in use and along the rail lines running through the area. 4. There are also a number of important landmarks in the Manila metropolitan area. One of the most iconic parks within the area is Rizal Park, which contains the Rizal Monument, a mausoleum that commemorates Jose Rizal, a martyr who worked for social reforms in his native country and whose death sparked the Philippine Revolution. In addition to the Rizal Monument, the park also contains impressive Japanese and Chinese gardens, the National Museum of the Filipino People, and a massive relief map of the country.

Ang Intramuros, kilala din bilang Walled City, ay ang pinakalumang bahagi ng Metro Manila. Sa kasaysayan, ang lungsod ay ang kuta ng pamahalaang kolonyal ng Espanyol. Ang Intramuros ay matatagpuan sa Manila Bay sa timog lamang ng Ilog Pasig. Ang Fort Santiago, na nakatayo sa bukana ng ilog, ang nagbabantay sa lungsod. Itinayo ng mga kolonyalistang Espanyol ang mga pader na pumapalibot sa muog sa huling bahagi ng 1500s upang protektahan laban sa mga kolonyalista mula sa ibang bansa. Pinangalanan ng Global Heritage Fund ang Intramuros bilang isa sa labindalawang lugar sa buong mundo na sumusuray sa bingit ng kung tawagin nila ay "hindi maisasaayos na kawalan." Intramuros, also known as the Walled City, is the oldest part of Metro Manila. Historically, the city was the fortress of the Spanish colonial government. Intramuros is located on Manila Bay, just south of the Pasig River. Fort Santiago guards the city, sitting right on the river's mouth. Spanish colonialists built the walls surrounding the citadel in the latter part of the 1500s to protect against colonialists from other nations. The Global Heritage Fund has named Intramuros as one of twelve sites around the globe that are teetering on the edge of what it FILIPINOPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #1 - TOP 10 FILIPINO REGIONS AND CITIES: METRO MANILA 4 calls "irreparable loss."

Ito ay matatagpuan sa gitna ng silangang dako ng isla ng Cebu at kabilang din dito ang maliit na bahagi ng kalapit na Isla ng Mactan. Dalawang pangunahing mga tulay ang kasalukuyang nagdurugtong sa Isla ng Cebu at Isla ng Mactan sa loob ng Metro Cebu, at nagsimula na ang pagpaplano para sa ikatlo. Ang Lungsod ng Cebu ang kabisera ng rehiyon, at ang metro Cebu ay binubuo ng labing-dalawang iba't ibang mga munisipalidad at lungsod. 3. Kabilang sa ilan sa mga mahahalagang istruktura sa Metro Cebu ang Cebu International Convention Center, isang gusaling itanayo para sa ika-12 na ASEAN Summit, at ang Mandaue Coliseum, Cebu City Sports Complex, at ang Cebu Coliseum, lahat nang ito ay mga pinagdausan ng 2005 Southeast Asian Games. 4. Noong unang bahagi ng 2011, libo-libong mga tao ang inilikas at naipit sa trapiko nang tumaas ang tubig baha at tinakpan ang ilang bahagi ng Metro Cebu. Sa pagtatapos ng taon, binuo ang isang master drainage plan na sinasabi ng mga opisyal na magpapahupa ng lumalalang isyu ng ng pagbaha sa metro Cebu. 5. Karamihan ng Metro Cebu ay binubuo ng mga Cebuano, isang partikular na katutubong grupo na matataguan sa loob ng Pilipinas. Ang grupong ito ay ikalawa sa pinakamalaking grupo sa bansa na may sariling wika. Sa kasalukuyan, tinatantsa ng mga eksperto na mayroong 20 milyong Pilipino ang nagsasalita ng Cebuano. Ang grupong pangkultura na ito ay masusundan ang pinag-ugatan tatlumpung libong taon pabalik sa mga taong Austronesian na pumunta sa isla gamit ang barko mula Polynesia, Timog-silangang Asya, at Madagascar. Ang mga Cebuano ay tradisyunal na naniniwala sa animismo at pagsamba sa espiritu, bagaman marami sa kanila ay naging mga Romano Katoliko matapos itong ipakilala ng mga kolonyalistang Kastila. ENGLISH 1. Metro Cebu CONT'D OVER FILIPINOPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #2 - TOP 10 FILIPINO REGIONS AND CITIES: METRO CEBU 2 2. Cebu is a province and island in the Philippines, and the metropolitan area that encompasses that province is known as Metro Cebu. It's located in the middle of the east side of Cebu Island and also includes a small part of nearby Mactan Island. Two major bridges currently connect Cebu Island and Mactan Island within Metro Cebu, and planning for a third is currently underway. Cebu City is the capital of the region, and Metro Cebu is made up of twelve different municipalities and cities. 3. Some of the important structures in Metro Cebu include the Cebu International Convention Center, a building that was constructed for the twelfth ASEAN Summit, and the Mandaue Coliseum, Cebu City Sports Complex, and Cebu Coliseum, all of which were venues for the 2005 Southeast Asian Games. 4. In early 2011, thousands of people were evacuated and stuck in traffic when floodwaters rose and covered part of Metro Cebu. Toward the end of the year, a master drainage plan that officials said would alleviate the worsening issue with flooding in Metro Cebu was developed. 5. Metro Cebu is largely made up of Cebuanos, a particular ethnic group found within the Philippines.

    The Politics of Naming a Movement: Independent Cinema According to the Cinemalaya Congress (2005-2010) PATRICK F. CAMPOS Philippine Humanities Review, Vol. 13, No. 2, December 2011, pp. 76- 110 ISSN 0031-7802 © 2011 University of the Philippines 76 THE POLITICS OF NAMING A MOVEMENT: INDEPENDENT CINEMA ACCORDING TO THE CINEMALAYA CONGRESS (2005-2010) PATRICK F. CAMPOS Much has been said and written about contemporary “indie” cinema in the Philippines. But what/who is “indie”? The catchphrase has been so frequently used to mean many and sometimes disparate ideas that it has become a confusing and, arguably, useless term. The paper attempts to problematize how the term “indie” has been used and defined by critics and commentators in the context of the Cinemalaya Film Congress, which is one of the important venues for articulating and evaluating the notion of “independence” in Philippine cinema. The congress is one of the components of the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival, whose founding coincides with and is partly responsible for the increase in production of full-length digital films since 2005. This paper examines the politics of naming the contemporary indie movement which I will discuss based on the transcripts of the congress proceedings and my firsthand experience as a rapporteur (2007- 2009) and panelist (2010) in the congress. Panel reports and final recommendations from 2005 to 2010 will be assessed vis-a-vis the indie films selected for the Cinemalaya competition and exhibition during the same period and the different critical frameworks which panelists have espoused and written about outside the congress proper. Ultimately, by following a number PHILIPPINE HUMANITIES REVIEW 77 of key and recurring ideas, the paper looks at the key conceptions of independent cinema proffered by panelists and participants.

  • Si Judy Ann Santos at Ang Wika Ng Teleserye 344
    Sanchez / Si Judy Ann Santos at ang Wika ng Teleserye 344 SI JUDY ANN SANTOS AT ANG WIKA NG TELESERYE Louie Jon A. Sánchez Ateneo de Manila University [email protected] Abstract The actress Judy Ann Santos boasts of an illustrious and sterling career in Philippine show business, and is widely considered the “queen” of the teleserye, the Filipino soap opera. In the manner of Barthes, this paper explores this queenship, so-called, by way of traversing through Santos’ acting history, which may be read as having founded the language, the grammar of the said televisual dramatic genre. The paper will focus, primarily, on her oeuvre of soap operas, and would consequently delve into her other interventions in film, illustrating not only how her career was shaped by the dramatic genre, pre- and post- EDSA Revolution, but also how she actually interrogated and negotiated with what may be deemed demarcations of her own formulation of the genre. In the end, the paper seeks to carry out the task of generically explicating the teleserye by way of Santos’s oeuvre, establishing a sort of authorship through intermedium perpetration, as well as responding on her own so-called “anxiety of influence” with the esteemed actress Nora Aunor. Keywords aura; iconology; ordinariness; rules of assemblage; teleseries About the Author Louie Jon A. Sánchez is the author of two poetry collections in Filipino, At Sa Tahanan ng Alabok (Manila: U of Santo Tomas Publishing House, 2010), a finalist in the Madrigal Gonzales Prize for Best First Book, and Kung Saan sa Katawan (Manila: U of Santo To- mas Publishing House, 2013), a finalist in the National Book Awards Best Poetry Book in Filipino category; and a book of creative nonfiction, Pagkahaba-haba Man ng Prusisyon: Mga Pagtatapat at Pahayag ng Pananampalataya (Quezon City: U of the Philippines P, forthcoming).

  • Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014
    Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser.
