State institutions and cultural activists uphold epics linked to the pre-colonial era as the most culturally authentic, ancient, and distinctive form of Filipino literature. These “epics” originated as oral traditions performed by culturally diverse groups. Before they could be read, they had to be written down and translated into, first, the colonial language of Spanish, and later, the national languages of English and Filipino. Beginning from the earliest Spanish colonial times, I examine the longer history of writing about, describing, summarizing, and beginning in the late nineteenth century, transcribing the diverse sorts of oral narratives that only in the twentieth century came to be called epics.

  • Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People
    421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take.

  • A Dirty Affair Political Melodramas of Democratization
    6 A Dirty Affair Political Melodramas of Democratization Ferdinand Marcos was ousted from the presidency and exiled to Hawaii in late February 1986,Confidential during a four-day Property event of Universitycalled the “peopleof California power” Press revolution. The event was not, as the name might suggest, an armed uprising. It was, instead, a peaceful assembly of thousands of civilians who sought to protect the leaders of an aborted military coup from reprisal by***** the autocratic state. Many of those who gathered also sought to pressure Marcos into stepping down for stealing the presi- dential election held in December,Not for Reproduction not to mention or Distribution other atrocities he had commit- ted in the previous two decades. Lino Brocka had every reason to be optimistic about the country’s future after the dictatorship. The filmmaker campaigned for the newly installed leader, Cora- zon “Cory” Aquino, the widow of slain opposition leader Ninoy Aquino. Despite Brocka’s reluctance to serve in government, President Aquino appointed him to the commission tasked with drafting a new constitution. Unfortunately, the expe- rience left him disillusioned with realpolitik and the new government. He later recounted that his fellow delegates “really diluted” the policies relating to agrarian reform. He also spoke bitterly of colleagues “connected with multinationals” who backed provisions inimical to what he called “economic democracy.”1 Brocka quit the commission within four months. His most significant achievement was intro- ducing the phrase “freedom of expression” into the constitution’s bill of rights and thereby extending free speech protections to the arts.

  • Annual Accomplishment Report of the Public Attorney’S Office for Year 2010
    Republika ng Pilipinas Kagawaran ng Katarungan Tanggapan ng Manananggol Pambayan (PUBLIC ATTORNEY’S OFFICE) DOJ Agencies Building, NIA Rd. cor East Ave. 1104 Diliman, Quezon City Telephone Nos. 929-90-10/929-94-36; FAX Nos. 927-68-10/ 926-28-78 ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT OF THE PUBLIC ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR YEAR 2010 PREFATORY STATEMENT Treading on the “straight path of genuine public service” is the norm by which the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) endeavors to practice always. This agency’s standard is fortified even more with the thrust of H. E. President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III for the workforce of Philippine government bureaucracy to zealously work and walk in this path. In the performance of its tasks, this principal law office of the Government in extending free legal assistance to indigent persons in criminal, civil, labor, administrative and other quasi-judicial cases, does its share in paving the road toward the attainment of the Aquino administration’s quest for a nation that is free from the shackles of poverty and claws of corruption, whose realization requires sacrifice, honest and effective governance from the people in the bureaucracy. His Excellency President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III’s statements both inspire and challenge the whole workforce of the PAO to exceed their best performance yet as public servants. During his inauguration, His Excellency said, “Our foremost duty is to lift the nation from poverty through honest and effective governance”, and in his State of the Nation Address (SONA), he intimated, “We must understand that now is a time for sacrifice.
