Arcullo Lope R. Palermo Daniel S. Talusig Printing Services Leticia G. Javier and Printing Staff Public Information Office (Photography) Francisco Gutierrez Supreme Court of the Philippines Manila FROM THE CHAMBERS OF: Renato C. Corona CHIEF JUSTICE Foreword Special thanks and congratulations are due to Justice Ameurfina A. Melencio Herrera and the Philippine Judicial Academy, which she headed as Founding Chancellor for some 13 years, for this publication in a single volume of her thoughts and discourses on a range of subjects of interest to lawyers, judges and the public at large. The coverage is truly phenomenal. From training for judges to human rights, from gender sensitivity to science and the law, from ADR to the environment, these are all treated with characteristic depth, thoroughness and eloquence. On behalf of the Supreme Court and the Philippine Judiciary, I express our sincerest gratitude to Justice Herrera for her selfless and continuing service to our people as Judge, Justice and Judicial Academician. For even today, she continues to help out in PHILJA as Co- Chair of the Philippine Development Center–Project Implementation Committee (PDC-PIC) tasked with overseeing the making of a new training facility in Tagaytay City and of the PHILJA Training Center (PTC) that will run the facility. I, therefore, urge all stakeholders of our Justice system to avail of this singular opportunity to drink, as it were, from this fountain of wisdom and learning offered in this wonderful collection. Again, congratulations to one and all for this splendid publication. Philippine Judicial Academy Manila FROM THE DESK OF: Adolfo S, Azcuna CHANCELLOR Introduction The publication Perspectives in Judicial Education, a selection of speeches and writings by Justice Ameurfina Aguinaldo Melencio Herrera, captures her thoughts on judicial education gleaned from being at the helm of the Philippine Judicial Academy for 13 productive years. It is a rare chronicle of PHILJA’s journey in the development of judicial education commencing with the painstaking crafting of curricula and planning of training programs, primarily for judges, and culminating in its well-deserved recognition as a model for judicial institutions worldwide. In her speeches, Justice Herrera traces the steps taken by the committed women and men under her leadership to promote judicial excellence. She thanks the legal luminaries who selflessly impart their expertise using the latest tools and methodology in judicial education. She speaks proudly of PHILJA’s programs that are consistently rated as highly valuable and relevant to the fulfillment of its mandate as the judiciary’s education arm. Straightforwardly and concisely, she commends those in the audience who have chosen the path to public service, particularly the judges who face the daunting task of adjudication. To the judges, her message is clear – the power of the bench demands not only integrity, independence, and competence; it also requires sacrifice of self, a deep sense of accountability, and a continuing desire to excel in judicial performance. She inspires the participants to rise above difficult work circumstances. She challenges those in the judiciary, regardless of rank or gender, to take to heart the learning opportunities offered by the Academy. On occasion, she makes her listeners smile with her sense of humor while she reveals the Academy’s countless concerns and its decisive resolution of complexities in its programs. She conveys unwavering optimism that the Academy will continue to be forward-looking as it keeps pace with the best judicial institutions in the world. Above all, her writings express her deep love of country and her full support for a credible and independent judiciary sensitive to the people’s needs. Each of the speeches is a must-read, not only for the historical data on the Philippine Judiciary and the development of judicial education, but also for the abundant wisdom that suffuses it.

  • Jose Maria Sison and the Philippine Revolution: a Critique of an Interface1
    Jose Maria Sison and the Philippine Revolution: A Critique of an Interface1 P. N. ABINALES On December 26, 1968, Jose Ma. Sison a.k.a Amado Guerrero met with ten of his trusted disciples to establish the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) along the lines of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse-Tung Thought. Since then, Philippine radicalism long thought to be politically dead after the debacle of the Huk Rebellion has experienced a resurgence that was unprecedented in the national context. Much of the CPPs political growth, especially in the crucial initial stages, was largely attributed by many to Sisons leadership. He is said to have guided the revolutionary movement through its baptism of fire under the harsh conditions brought about by martial law. His arrest and nine-year solitary confinement did not break him. Rather, the movement continued to grow despite most of its original leaders death or capture (including Sisons) to become one of the most enduring revolutionary opposition in the country and the region.2 It is this feat that has placed Sison among the ranks of important figures in Philippine politics. Apart from being the founder of the CPP, Sison is regarded by admirers also as teacher and student activist He is the author of Philippine Society and Revolution (PSR), the acclaimed bible of the revolution. During the height of the First Quarter Storm, students were openly declaring their fealty to Amado Guerrero and his revolution. At the University of the Philippines (UP), student activists even renamed one building after the CPP chairman. Revolutionary songs, both serious and jesting, hailed Guerrero as one of the inspirations of the new revolutionary upsurge.3 During the early martial law period, Sison was one of the most wanted political figures by the dictatorship (the others being Kumander Dante and Victor Corpuz), the latter believing that his capture or death would destroy the CPP-ML.4 And in the time of Aquino, he continued to be grudgingly respected both in the positive and negative sense.

  • Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre
    Masters i Constructing the Sensorium: Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre A dissertation submitted by Paul Masters in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama Tufts University May 2016 Adviser: Natalya Baldyga Masters ii Abstract: Associated with a broad range of theatrical events and experiences, the term immersive has become synonymous with an experiential, spectacle-laden brand of contemporary theatre. From large-scale productions such as Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More (2008, 2011) to small-scale and customizable experiences (Third Rail Projects, Shunt, and dreamthinkspeak), marketing campaigns and critical reviews cite immersion as both a descriptive and prescriptive term. Examining technologies and conventions drawn from a range of so-called immersive events, this project asks how these productions refract and replicate the technological and ideological constructs of the digital age. Traversing disciplines such as posthumanism, contemporary art, and gaming studies, immersion represents an extension of a cultural landscape obsessed with simulated realities and self-surveillance. As an aesthetic, immersive events rely on sensual experiences, narrative agency, and media installations to convey the presence and atmosphere of otherworldly spaces. By turns haunting, visceral, and seductive spheres of interaction, these theatres also engage in a neoliberal project: one that pretends to greater freedoms than traditional theater while delimiting freedom and concealing the boundaries

    Volume XXVII, No. 5 May 2009 www.filipinostar.org Filipino community wants live-in caregivers program improved The serious allegations of abuses by a Liberal MP, Ruby Dhalla, touched a sensitive chord among Filipino-Canadians everywhere. This case has reinforced what has long been a common knowledge that live-in caregivers are exploited, underpaid, and abused. Although there are some good employers, they are not the majority. The problem has always been a concern but it seems that government policies do not change without active lobbying by the community. Almost at the same time that this high profile case hit the newspaper headlines, there was already a proposed consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship & Multiculturalism, Honorable Jason Kenney, scheduled by the end of May which was the result of prior meetings held with him in the past when he was holding the position of Secretary of A group was formed to work on immigration issues, focusing on the live-in caregivers program. to prepare for a consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship and Multiculturalism, Hon.
