Philippines. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper attempts to describe and analyze selected social performances during the Philippines’ hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2015 Summit in Manila, particularly the staging of “Padugo” (bloodletting) ritual by Lumads anti-APEC protesters and the deploying of Katy Perry’s “Roar” by the Civil Disturbance Management (CDM) Unit of the Philippine National Police (PNP). By applying social performance theory, I argued here that rebuffing and sidetracking performances of Padugo and Roar are ultimately socio-political acts, which are both always performative. These social performances represent competing versions of the social order, attempting to find resonance beyond the actual performances, as such could possibly influence public opinion and transform the socio-cultural, economic, and/or political status quo. Keywords: Social Performance, Performance Theory, Protest Ritual, Public Order Policing. INTRODUCTION ethnic dance of the Igorots rendered by the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, not even Ballet The Philippines became the world's biggest Manila's interpretation of 'Anting-Anting' or stage in the hosting of Asia-Pacific Economic amulet.

  • Public Policy and Agrarian Reform in the Philippines
    Sensemaking Under Martial Law: Public Policy and Agrarian Reform in the Philippines Carl Montaño Lamar University Lynn Godkin Lamar University This paper presents a case study of governmental sensemaking under martial law in the Philippines under President Ferdinand Marcos. Data was gathered about the Agrarian Reform Program in particular through: a) personal interviews with decision makers involved in the Agrarian Reform Program; b) non- participants who observed the program in action; and c) an extensive search of available primary and secondary sources. Contemporary understandings of sensemaking unavailable during the Marcos era are applied to his initiative. It was determined that many of the elements of sensemaking were associated with the Agrarian Reform Program in the Philippines, as were various triggers stimulating such sensemaking as well. Land tenancy and related agrarian problems were afflictions of Filipinos long before the first Americans arrived (McLennan, 1973). Sharecropping and debt peonage were already in place in the Philippines before the Spanish conquest, which began in 1565 (Murray, 1972). Both Spanish and American mindsets discounted the traditional communal concept of land ownership. Indigenous tribes that shared ancestral hunting and planting grounds deeply resented the ―Christian‖ intrusion into the lands (Bauzon, 1975). When the Spanish arrived from Central and South America, they introduced caciquism and individual ownership of land. Leaving traditional village structure virtually in place, a village headman, known by the Carib term cacique, was given authority in each locale. The caciques, as tax collectors, were in a position to preserve their power and increase personal landholdings. Peasants, who had lived communally for generations, unwittingly became tenants or were driven from the land entirely (Murray, 1972; Pelzer, 1948).
