Stories Captured by Word of Mouth Cultural Heritage Building Through Oral History STORIES CAPTURED BY WORD OF MOUTH CULTURAL HERITAGE BUILDING THROUGH ORAL HISTORY Christine M. Abrigo Karen Cecille V. Natividad De La Salle University Libraries Oral History, still relevant? (Santiago, 2017) • Addresses limitations of documents • Gathers insights and sentiments • More personal approach to recording history Oral History in the Philippines (Foronda, 1978) There is a scarcity of studies and literatures on the status and beginning of oral history in the country. DLSU Libraries as repository of institutional and national memory Collects archival materials and special collections as they are vital sources of information and carry pertinent evidences of culture and history. Oral history is one of these archival materials. Purpose of this paper This paper intends to document the oral history archival collection of the De La Salle University (DLSU) Libraries; its initiatives to capture, preserve and promote intangible cultural heritage and collective memory to its users through this collection, and the planned initiatives to further build the collection as a significant contribution to Philippine society. ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION (OHC) OF THE DLSU LIBRARIES Provenance The core OHC came from the family of Dr. Marcelino A. Foronda, Jr., a notable Filipino historian and from the Center for Oral and Local History of the university, which was later named in his honor, hence, the Marcelino A. Foronda Jr. Center for Local and Oral History (MAFCLOH).

Processing and Retrieval Print transcripts had been cataloged and included in the main database. • Processing of the OHC had been put aside for years as other archival projects were prioritized • 17% of the collection had been processed 2. Preservation • Sound recordings are also not stored and shelved in controlled temperature and humidity conditions as there is no provision for such facility • The collection thrives under the building’s existing temperature (21°C-25°C) and lighting conditions 3. Access and Dissemination • OHC access is restricted until permission is obtained from interviewees who are still alive, and in the case of deceased informants, from heirs • As the collection sits on the library shelves, the legacy of the voices and words lays dormant, unless researchers physically go to the library to listen to the recordings and read the transcripts themselves PLANNED INITIATIVES Initial OHC building strategies DLSU Libraries’ Institutional Repository (IR) Project • IR project launched in 2014 (in progress) • digitized theses and dissertations were uploaded, to be followed by faculty publications, photos, and other archival materials – OHC Collaborative OH project • Conducting oral history sessions or structured interviews with identified individuals or groups, then later capturing their stories in an audiovisual databank • Collaboration with the university’s historians, particularly, of the Center for Oral and Local History, who is working towards building/reviving oral history projects Vision OHC as national cultural treasure CONCLUSION References Bio.

  • Ang Novelty Song Sa Pilipinas*
    Ang Novelty Song Sa Pilipinas* New Era University Fame Pascua, M.A. Panimula ng musika ay isang sining na bahagi ng kultura ng bawat tao o grupo ng tao. Ito ay nasa anyo ng pagkanta ng mga himig at liriko at/o pagtugtog ng mga musikal na instrumento na lumilikha ng mga tunog at himig. Ayon kay Delia Gamboa Besa sa kanyang sanaysay na “Contemporary Philippine Music” (1998), ang musikaA sa Pilipinas ay sinasalamin ang mayamang kulturang nag-uugat pareho sa katutubong pinagmulan at sa impluwensya mula sa labas, at gayundin sa resulta ng pag-aangkop dito at Pascua... pagsasanib ng mga ito. Dahil dito, nauri ni Besa ang musika sa Pilipinas sa tatlo: (1) ang katutubo, (2) ang may impluwensyang1 Espansyol, at (3) ang may impluwensyang Amerikano. Mapapansin na ang ganitong pag-uuri ng musika sa Pilipinas ay sinusundan ang tipikal na kronolohiya ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas bagama’t ang uri ng musika ay hindi lamang nakakulong sa partikular na peryodisasyon. Maari itong magpatuloy o hindi, mangibabaw pa o hindi na (bagamat umiiral pa rin) sa partikular na panahon. Gayunpaman, hindi kumpleto ang ganitong pag-uuri ng musika sa Pilipinas (kung tuluyang ibabatay sa kronolohiya ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas) dahil sa walang banggit sa kung ano na o paano natin tatawagin ang musika ng mga Pilipino pagkatapos ng kolonyal na panahon? Bagamat nagbanggit ng “contemporary Philippine music” si Besa sa pamagat ng kanyang artikulo hindi naman ito nagliwanag sa kung “ano” ito o ang kumakatawan dito bagkus tumalakay sa sitwasyon ng “contemporary music”—na sa kabuuan, unti-unti nang napapamayanihan ng mga Filipino— gayunpaman ay nahaharap pa rin sa mga suliranin.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hip-hop, Streetdance, and the Remaking of the Global Filipino by Jeffrey Lorenzo Perillo Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Committee Co-Chair Professor Victor Bascara, Committee Co-Chair New York-based African American, Latino, and Caribbean immigrant youth of the 1960s and early 1970s gave life to one of the world's major contemporary cultural movements: Hip-hop. Initially misunderstood as a faddish form of Black male musical expression, Hip-hop's cultural resistance practices were quickly recognized as four core elements (emceeing, turntablism, graffiti art, and b-boying/b-girling). In the global context, Hip-hop has generated scholarly discourse that points to either the cultural globalization of American Blackness or a "global village." My project interrupts this conversation and focuses on the unique, multi-site cultural history of Filipino identity as constituted through practitioners of Hip-Hop dance. My work argues that a community of Filipinos, situated in different geo-political loci—Berkeley, California, Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and Manila, Philippines—configure prevailing concepts of Hip-hop while remaking conditions of ! ii dispossession and displacement in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

  • Women and Politics
    WOMEN AND POLITICS Speech of former Senator Leticia Ramos Shahani at the Eminent Women in Politics Lecture Series of Miriam College Women and Gender Institute, Claro M. Recto Hall, Philippine Senate, Thursday, 26 April 2007 I should like to thank the Women and Gender Institute of Miriam College for inviting me to open this series of lectures entitled “Eminent Women in Politics”. The College, true to its pioneering tradition, is to be congratulated for daring to enter a controversial and complicated field of endeavor for women. It is certainly an honor to share the podium today with one of our respected Senators of the land – Senate President Manuel Villar – who is a shining example of what we expect our Senators to be – honest, experienced, dedicated to the progress of our people and country and it should be mentioned, a gender advocate. But Senator Villar does not really need this election plug from me since it looks certain that, with three weeks away from voting time, he will be one of the topnotchers in the coming election for Senators. It is also fitting that Miriam College uses this occasion to commemorate the 70 th anniversary of the Filipino women’s right to vote and be voted upon, a victory of those dynamic and patriotic women of the suffragette movement who enabled Filipino women to enter the mainstream of our nation’s political life not only to cast their vote but to stand for elective office. I do not forget that it is they who enabled me to run for public office when my own time came.

  • Jose Wright Diokno
    Written by: NACIONAL, KATHERINE E. MANALO, RUBY THEZ D. TABILOG, LEX D. 3-H JOSE WRIGHT DIOKNO “Do not forget: We Filipinos are the first Asian people who revolted against a western imperial power, Spain; the first who adopted a democratic republican constitution in Asia, the Malolos Constitution; the first to fight the first major war of the twentieth century against another western imperial power, the United States of America. There is no insurmountable barrier that could stop us from becoming what we want to be.” Jose W. Diokno Jose “Pepe” Diokno was one of the advocates of human rights, Philippine sovereignty and nationalism together with some of the well-known battle-scarred fighters for freedom like Ninoy Aquino, Gasty Ortigas, Chino Roces, Tanny Tañada, Jovy Salonga, and few more. His life was that of a lover of books, education, and legal philosophy. He never refused to march on streets nor ague in courts. He never showcases his principles to get attention except when he intends to pursue or prove a point. He is fluent in several languages, and used some when arguing in courts, including English and Spanish. He became a Secretary of Justice when appointed by then President Diosdado Macapagal, and he was elected as a Senator of the Republic, who won the elections by campaigning alone. And during his entire political life, he never travelled with bodyguards nor kept a gun or used one. By the time he died, he was with his family, one of the things he held precious to his heart. FAMILY BACKGROUD The grandfather of Jose was Ananias Diokno, a general of the Philippine Revolutionary Army who served under Emilio Aguinaldo and who was later on imprisoned by American military forces in Fort Santiago together with Servillano Aquino, another Filipino General.
