Copyright © 2006 Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal Association IT’S ALL THE RAGE: POPULAR UPRISINGS AND PHILIPPINE DEMOCRACY † Dante B. Gatmaytan Abstract: Massive peaceful demonstrations ended the authoritarian regime of Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines twenty years ago. The “people power” uprising was called a democratic revolution and inspired hopes that it would lead to the consolidation of democracy in the Philippines. When popular uprisings were later used to remove or threaten other leaders, people power was criticized as an assault on democratic institutions and was interpreted as a sign of the political immaturity of Filipinos. The literature on people power is presently marked by disagreement as to whether all popular uprisings should be considered part of the people power tradition.

    1 We encourage you to use the website and mobile app for current information and to navigate the Symposium. Changes to the scientific program will be published on an addendum that will be posted on messages board. 2 In line with this year’s theme, the logo symbolizes the strategic cooperation between the scientific community and the different facets of the local institutions and the government to achieve wholesome and sustainable seas. The lower half signifies the ocean while the upper half shows the diversity of marine life and its interconnectivity with food security and environmental resilience. The halves meet at the center forming a handshake embodying the common understanding of the local communities, government, academe, private sector, NGOs, and especially the Filipino masses on the protection, management, and holistic conservation of the oceans. Lastly, the hues used also represent the colors of the sea at the break of dawn, signifying a new chapter for a more hopeful, science-based, and community- oriented future of the Philippine seas. Best logo design for PAMS15 Mr. John Michael Lastimoso 3 SYMPOSIUM SPONSORS 4 Welcome Message It is with great pleasure and excitement that we, the Philippine Association of Marine Science Officers 2017-2019, welcome you to the 15th National Symposium in Marine Science at the Aklan State University, Banga, Aklan on July 4-6, 2019 with the theme “Fostering synergy of science, community and governance for healthy seas.” As PAMS continues to undertake the task of promoting growth in marine science in the country, the PAMS15 will focus on highlighting the complex people-sea relationship and look more closely on the ways by which we can address the growing issues and risks to food security, biodiversity, and community resilience.

  • Art-Q4module7-Sculpt
    SCULPTURE Overview In the previous modules, you were already introduced to different art elements and design principles as manifested from different Philippine arts – from simple basket and mat weaving of different indigenous and cultural communities to the highly sophisticated textile weaving from Northern to Southern Philippines. You are also familiar with the Angono petroglyphs, the Laguna copperplate inscriptions,. In this module, you will understand how Philippine sculpture evolved from its simplest form as manifested in clay potteries of Maitum, the Manunggul jar, the bul-ol, and the pre-historic Angono cave art to the highly- Christianized period of Chinese artisans in Manila and the Paete woodcarvers in Laguna and the western- inspired, modern era of sculptors Napoleon Abueva, Guillermo Tolentino, Ed Castrillo, and Jun Yee among others. You will also experience how to create your own sculpture and make an assemblage from available and seemingly useless trash and discards.

  • Current International Legal Issues: Philippines
    Current International Legal Issues: Philippines Rommel J. Casis and Maria Pia Benosa* 1 Treaties and Other International Agreements Philippine diplomacy is guided by the “Three Pillars of Philippine Foreign Pol- icy” with the President as principal architect. These are the preservation and enhancement of national security, promotion and attainment of economic se- curity, and the protection of the rights and promotion of the welfare of over- seas Filipinos. Pursuant to these overarching goals, the Philippines negotiated and concluded several significant treaties, other international agreements, and arrangements in recent years. The governments of the Philippines and the United States signed an En- hanced Defense Cooperation Agreement,1 following an earlier Status of Visit- ing Forces Agreement with Australia,2 bolstering defense partnership with the two countries. Within the region, negotiations with countries in the Associa- tion of South East Asian Nations (asean) brought forth the asean Charter,3 the legal and institutional framework for the regional organization – which asean leaders signed in 2007. * Prof. Rommel Casis, Director, Institute of International Legal Studies, University of the Phil- ippines (UP) Law Center, and Assistant Professor of Law, UP College of Law, and Prof. Maria Emilynda Jeddahlyn Pia V.

  • The Filipinos Protest Over Hero's
    Jebat: Malaysian Journal of History, Politics & Strategic Studies, Vol. 46 (1) (July 2019): 1-26 @ Centre For Policy and Global Governance (GAP), UKM; ISSN 2180-0251 (electronic), 0126-5644 (paper) NORIZAN Kadir Universiti Sains Malaysia REMEMBERING AND FORGETTING THE MEMORIES OF VIOLENCE: THE FILIPINOS PROTEST OVER HERO’S INTERMENT FOR MARCOS, 2016-2017 This article examines the divergence in social memory about Ferdinand Marcos’ rule into two types of historical narratives following the announcement made by President Duterte in 2016 to bury the Marcos’ remains in the Heroes’ Cemetery or Libingan ng mga Bayani. The historical narratives were divided into two major school of thoughts which comprised the national narrative that was propagated by President Rodrigo Duterte and the opposition narrative advocated by the victims and relatives of Marcos’ human rights violence. The protests and demonstrations took place from 2016 until 2017, before and after the interment of the remains through various forms and methods including street protests and internet activism. Thus, this study shows that the changing of political ideologies has changed the national narrative since the memories of violence during the Marcos’ regime are gradually lost from the social memory of the society. The proponent of President Duterte and Marcos’ legacy demand justice for the late President Marcos for his contributions to the country, while those who oppose President Duterte as well as the victims of Marcos’ cruelty, try to revive the memory about Marcos’ spate of violence. Their demands are voiced through their protests over Hero’s burial for Marcos. Keywords: Memories Of Violence, Interment, Dictatorship, Social Memory, Historical Amnesia.

  • Freeing the Filipino Through Monumental Sculpture
    Notes and Comments Freeing the Filipino through Monumental Sculpture Veronica Esposo-Ramirez Sculpture as an art form has certain limitations imposed by materials or medium, color, subjecr, and composition. The process of sculpture requires careful planning, technical skills in welding and engineering, and a very good understanding of the medium the artist chooses to work with. Unlike in painting where texture can be an illusion, sculpture is rough where it needs to be rough, and smooth where it should be smooth. Its size requires a big space that allows it to be viewed by many people. If carved in the round, it stands freely with all its angl es exposed for everyone to see. It should be strong enough to resist the effects of the heat of the sun, thunderstorms, and even bombs in times of war. Despite these limitations, the Greeks and the Romans chose sculpture to express their highest ideals embodied in the human figure. Monuments to citizens and leaders were erected in front of important buildings. These sculptures stood on elevated blocks sometimes surrounded by circular space. By erecting monuments to their important historical figures, they not only reminded people of their heritage but also inspired them to be good citizens. In this sense, monumental sculpture is ap instrument that promoted nationalism. Today; allover the world, people offer flowers at monuments to heroes, some still standing on heav ily guarded parks or in front of 149 SY N E RG EI A government buildings. A monumental sculpture is an expressive assemblage that germinated in the psyche of the artist but, as such, does not exist in a world of its own because it has an intended purpose.
