This year is the 30th edition of the Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines after 14 years from the time when we last hosted it in year 2005. The 2019 Southeast Asian Games (Tagalog: Palaro ng Timog Silangang Asya 2019), officially known as the 30th Southeast Asian Games or 2019 SEA Games and commonly known as Philippines 2019 is a biennial regional multi-sport event hosted in the Philippines from 30 November to 11 December 2019. All 11 members of Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) take part in the Philippine 2019. This edition will be marked by the first major decentralization in the history of the Games, with competition venues spread in 23 cities across the country, divided into 4 clusters, all located on the island of Luzon (Metro Manila, Clark, Subic/Olongapo, and a fourth cluster consisting of standalone venues). This will be the Philippines' fourth time to host the games. Previously, it had also hosted the 1981, 1991 and 2005 editions of the games. This edition is most notable for being the first edition to include esports and obstacle course as well as having the highest number of sports in the history of the games, at a total of 56.1 As per SEA Games rules, every host nation has the discretion to introduce new sports and this year‘s event has set the record for having the greatest number of sports and events in SEA Games history. Allow us to share to you some interesting things you ought to know with regards to this Philippines 2019 30th Southeast Asian Games. Fourth SEA Games hosting by the Philippines This is the fourth time that the Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) will be held in the Philippines. Rizal Memorial Stadium was built for the 1981 edition of the regional meet which the Philippines ranked third. It hosted again in 1991 and landed second and the last was in 2005, where Philippines won its first overall championship – the first and last time the Philippines won the most medals in any SEA Games garnering 290 medals, with 112 Gold, 85 Silver, and 93 Bronze2. 1 2019 Southeast Asian Games, available at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Southeast _Asian_Games?fbclid=IwAR0e2TL23A8aEbWOGYmMp5159gP6gY9EgCNzRAQt-Z- SpY3Vk7ek73MO1Z4 last accessed November 27,2019). 2 Amoranto, T.

Retrieved from https://www.rappler.com/move- ph/ispeak/245957-opinion-former-national-athlete-on-sea-games-fiasco.] 1 | M U P u r ple Hood Law Journal Volume 1 2020 Issue 1 We Win as One: 30th SEA Games theme The official slogan and theme song of this year‘s SEA Games is ―We win as one‖. Filipino heavyweights in the Arts wrote this song. The lyrics were written by Palanca-award winning writer and director Floy Quintos. The music was composed by National Artist Ryan Cayabyab featuring the voice of Philippines very own Tony awardee- Broadway star Lea Salonga. A meaningful line from the song that goes ―we compete but the greatest feat is we win as one‖ encapsulates the ideals of the Asian countries participating in the games, while they come to compete against each other, they must uphold the common dream to be unified as nations so that when we win, we win as one. Since 1985, Southeast Asian games have had a mascot in each edition, this 30th SEA Games will not be complete without its mascot, ―Pami.‖ Pami was derived from the Tagalog word pamilya, which represents every nation, sport, and person, coming together3. SEA Games torch and medals patterned from Sampaguita From various metal alloys combined with wood, this year's 30th SEA Games torch is designed by renowned Filipino metal sculptor Daniel dela Cruz. The design of 2019 SEA Games torch is inspired by the Philippines' national flower, Sampaguita. The eight-ray Sun from the flag of the Philippines symbolizes unity sovereignty and independence. It also represents the eight provinces that fought against Spain during the colonial era. In the center is the SEA Games logo which depicts the shape of the Philippine archipelago. The Sampaguita, according to dela Cruz, is a representation of the simplicity, strength, and resilience of the Filipino people4. Sport and events to be contested So far the biggest yet in history in terms of having the number of sporting events, this year‘s 30th SEA Games will have a total of 56 sports and 530 events this year. The sports are also divided into three categories: Compulsory, Olympic and Asian Games sports, and Regional and New 3 Nakpil, D.

MAYUGA APRIL 19, 2021 3 MINUTE READ WITH the lifting of the moratorium on new mining projects following the signing of EO 130 by President Duterte, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) is looking at granting new mining contracts that could generate additional revenues and boost the economy within the next five years. Mines and Geosciences Bureau Director Wilfredo G. Moncano said at least 100 new mining projects currently in the pipeline can generate additional revenue of P20 billion in the form of excise tax and another P1 billion in annual revenue in the form of royalty tax. These new mining projects can generate at least 42,000 new jobs in the mining sector which currently employs around 230,000 persons. While the new mining projects can generate 42,000 new jobs, the employment opportunity from the multiplier effect of 4 persons for every 1 person benefiting direct employment will give mining hosts the much-needed economic boost, officials noted. “In the memo that we submitted to the office of the President, with the lifting of Section 4 of E.O. 79, we estimate additional taxes of P20 billion and royalty of about P1 billion. Plus there will be about an additional P58 billion worth of export because most of the minerals are exported. We estimate 42,000 new employment,” Moncano said in a radio interview. Under the Phase 1 Priority Mining Projects, there are at least 35 mining projects that are a step or two steps away from gaining their Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA), he added.

  • On Lav Diaz‟S a Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery
    ―Textual Mobilities: Diaspora, Migration, Transnationalism and Multiculturalism‖ | Lullaby of Diasporic Time: On Lav Diaz‟s A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery Christian Jil R. Benitez Ateneo de Manila University Philippines [email protected] Abstract Lav Diaz is a Filipino independent filmmaker notable as a key figure in the contemporary slow cinema movement. Of his oeuvre, one of the longest is A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (Filipino: Hele sa Higawang Hapis), a 2016 epic film that runs for 8 hours, orchestrating narratives derived from what are conveniently sung as mythology (i.e., Jose Rizal‘s El filibusterismo and Philippine folklore) and history (i.e., Philippine history and artifacts). The movie competed in the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Alfred Bauer Prize. This success has earned Diaz‘s the spotlight in the Filipino mainstream culture, enabling the film to be distributed to and showcased in mainstream platforms, albeit primarily garnering attention from the Filipino audience for its runtime and international attention. The movement of the film, as a text, from the local Philippines toward the international and returning home, incurs in it a textuality that disrupts the phenomenology of time diasporically, scatteringly: that as much as its 8-hour languor ―opens new perspective in the cinematic arts‖ according to the international rendition of this time, it is also the 8-hour whose value in the Philippine time is that of a day‘s labor, and thus the exoticization of its cinematic experience as a ―challenge,‖ having to endure an entire working day of slow cinematography. This diaspora of time is of no cacophony; on the contrary, it is the lullaby, sorrowful and mysterious, that finally slows Diaz in to become a filmmaker attuned to both the spaces of the local and the international.

  • Ministry of Basic Higher and Technical Education, Bangsamoro
    MESSAGE OF MINISTER MOHAGHER IQBAL Ministry of Basic Higher and Technical Education, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao; and Chairman, Moro Islamic Liberation Front Peace Implementing Panel “Islamic Leadership for Political Change: The Bangsamoro Experience” May 26, 2020 BI-SMILLĀHI R-RAḤMĀNI R-RAḤĪM, Asalaamu Alaikum warakmatulahi taala wa barakatuh. Thank you Very much to Dr. Emma Leslie and the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPCS) for allowing me to address young political and ciVil society leaders. I can reminisce about my tender age when I looked at Moro leaders of the time as my role model, only to be frustrated when most of them only paid lip service to the ills of society that marginalized our people. This feeling of frustration explains why, after getting my master's degree in 1972, I joined first the MNLF and later MILF without any hesitation. I was adamant about fighting for the liberation of our people from the yoke servitude, oppression, and persecution. Perchance, in the eyes of the young generations, we are assuming that part today, and likewise, they are scrutinizing us as we did before. I hope they would not be frustrated by how we played our roles in this troubled 20th and 21st centuries. We have done our best, and at least we have a concrete legacy to pass on to the next generations: concluding the formal negotiation and putting into place the Bangsamoro Government. For today’s session, the organiZers requested me to speak on Islamic Leadership and Political Change. I will try my best to do so.

  • The Celebrity's Right to Autonomous Self-Definition
    65 THE CELEBRITY’S RIGHT TO AUTONOMOUS SELF-DEFINITION AND FALSE ENDORSEMENTS: ARGUING THE CASE FOR A RIGHT OF PUBLICITY IN THE PHILIPPINES Arvin Kristopher A Razon* Abstract With the Philippines being the top country in terms of social media usage, social media platforms have expanded opportunities for celebrities to profit from their fame. Despite the pervasiveness of celebrity culture in the country and the increasing number of unauthorised celebrity advertisements in such platforms, the right of publicity does not explicitly exist in Philippine law. This paper explains that the lack of an explicit statute-based right of publicity does not mean that it does not exist in common law or other statutory law. Centred on the minimalist path of law reform, the paper argues that the existing right to privacy in Philippine law can justify a right to publicity, anchored on the right to protect unwarranted publicity about oneself regardless of one’s status in the public eye, as well as on the right to autonomous self-definition. The illustrative cases in this paper evidence the hurt feelings celebrities suffer from unwanted publicity. A publicity right also exists as a property right under local intellectual property laws on unfair competition. I. Introduction The opportunity to economically exploit one’s name, likeness or identity, often through celebrity endorsements, is a perk that comes with being a celebrity.1 The internet, particularly social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, has expanded the opportunities for celebrities to profit from their fame, providing them with another channel by which they can endorse brands to a global audience, * BA Organizational Communication (magna cum laude), Juris Doctor (University of the Philippines), LLM (University of Melbourne); Lecturer, De La Salle University.
