  • Philippine Assemblies of God Organized
    [AJPS 8:2 (2005), pp. 271-287] THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PHILIPPINE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD AND THE ROLE OF EARLY MISSIONARIES1 Trinidad E. Seleky 1. Philippine District Council of the Assemblies of God Filipinos, who graduated from Assemblies of God Bible Schools in the United States and went back to their country to preach to their own people,2 wanted an Assemblies of God (USA) appointed missionary to help them become organized. Their reason for this action was that the Philippines, at that time, was still under the protectorate of the United States, with a Counsel General as the final seat of authority. A requirement for permitting any outside church denomination to operate in the Philippines was that it must seek registration with the United States Counsel General and have a duly appointed missionary or church leader from the home body in the United States. 1.1 Leland E. Johnson Leland E. Johnson, with his wife and two children, landed in Manila on Christmas Eve, 1939, and spent an uneventful Christmas Sunday in a hotel. He brought with him a letter from Springfield to be presented to the Vice-Counsel, Cordell Hull, who in turn would present it to the Counsel General. The letter requested permission to register an 1 This article is taken from Trinidad Cabanilla Esperanza, “The Assemblies of God in the Philippines” (Master of Religious Education thesis, Fuller Theological Seminary, 1965).

  • Contested Space: Manila Sunset Bay and the Conflict Over Land Reclamation for an Urban Transformation Project
    Journal of Studies in Social Sciences ISSN 2201-4624 Volume 13, Number 1, 2015, 75-98 Contested Space: Manila Sunset Bay and the Conflict Over Land Reclamation for an Urban Transformation Project Seth Asare Okyere1, Gifty Adom-Asamoah2, Karenina Guevara Aramburu3, Don Johnson Lontoc4 1Division of Global Architecture, Osaka University, Suita Osaka, 562-0871, Japan 2Department of Planning, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, KNUST, Kumasi, Ghana 3Department of Architecture and Urban Studies, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 20133, Milan, Italy 4GHD Architects, Philippines, 2258 Chino Roces Avenue cor EDSA, 1229 Makati City Philippines Corresponding author: Seth Asare Okyere, Division of Global Architecture, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan ([email protected]) Abstract: Urban spaces are becoming contested spaces, where different groups and institutions, political or apolitical, legitimize their right to use, maintain and appropriate space for various purposes, eventually leading to conflicts and contestations. The Manila Bay area has been at the center of reclamation efforts and opposition against such efforts over a long period. Through observation, interviews and documentary sources, this paper provides a narrative on a developing conflict between local citizen groups, city authority and real estate organizations. The first section of the paper provides a background on the Manila Bay cultural value and the proposed solar city reclamation project. Secondly, the paper highlights an evolution of the conflict through a network analysis. The final section of the paper outlines decisional strategies for conflict transformation by focusing on patterns of interaction and the network among the different actors. Keywords: Manila bay, urban transformation, land reclamation, local conflict, protest, networks analysis © Copyright 2015 the authors.

    REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES SUPREME COURT MANILA En Banc G.R. No. 213948 KNIGHTS OF RIZAL Petitioner - versus - DMCI HOMES, INC. ET AL. Respondents MEMORANDUM FOR DMCI PROJECT DEVELOPERS, INC. To love one’s city, and have a part in its advancement and improvement, is the highest privilege and duty of a citizen. – Daniel H. Burnham, architect and master planner of Manila REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES SUPREME COURT MANILA En Banc KNIGHTS OF RIZAL, Petitioner, - versus - G.R. No. 213948 DMCI HOMES, INC. ET AL., Respondents. MEMORANDUM Private respondent DMCI Project Developers, Inc. (“DMCI-PDI”), by counsel, respectfully states: Prefatory In December 1913, the Jose Rizal National Monument (“Rizal Monument”) was erected on the Luneta as a tomb and a memorial to Jose Rizal. Since its creation in 1907 as the model entitled Motto Stella up to the present, more than a century hence, it has been mired in controversy. The stat- ue of Rizal was criticized as a poor depiction of the national hero, dressed like a European in an ill-fitting overcoat, while the monument itself, according to the Official Gazette web- site, “shies away from magnificence. It does not tower, there are no ornate details, no grandiose aesthetic claims.”1 For decades after its installation until 1961, it stood alone in an empty field. Then the Knights of Rizal, petitioner in this case (“petitioner”), successfully lobbied for the building of a Rizal Memorial Cultural Center at the back of the monument, which was never built. But a towering steel shaft that reached more than 30 meters was installed on the monument, until it was removed two years later after widespread censure.

  • 30 October 2012 the PANDACAN OIL DEPOT and the NEED FOR
    30 October 2012 THE PANDACAN OIL DEPOT AND THE NEED FOR POLICY STABILITY We, the undersigned business groups, express our deepest concern regarding Ordinance 8283 of the Manila City Council, which reclassifies the land where the Pandacan oil depot currently stands from heavy industrial to high intensity commercial/mixed use, effectively removing the said facility from the area. We note that apprehensions over the security of the facility and the safety of the surrounding residential community are at the forefront of the decade-long debate over the Pandacan oil depot. With regard to this, we would like to categorically state that it is both an interest and a duty of the business sector to ensure and promote the people’s right to a safe environment, good health, and a balanced ecology. While our primary role is to create economic wealth, we also give the highest regard to the responsible and sustainable conduct of our businesses. In this light, the companies affected by the said Manila ordinance implemented measures to adequately address such safety concerns, from reconfiguration in the layout of the depot’s facilities to increased security safeguards jointly undertaken with local law enforcement and emergency response units. However, we foresee the emergence of a new set of concerns should the relocation of the Pandacan oil depot outside Metro Manila push through. We will have to contend with increased risk of road accidents, product spills, and threats to security for the tankers and the public. It will also mean higher logistical costs, which must, in fairness, be passed on to consumers.

It provides an overview of business practices that could be considered unsustainable or irresponsible and that occurred or have been addressed in 2008. The overview below describes only controversial practices that were identified, not the positive achievements of a company in the same year. Information on a Shell’s positive achievements can be found in its annual and/or sustainability report and on the company’s website. The purpose of this report is to provide additional information to the company’s shareholders and other stakeholders on controversies that may or may not be detected and reported by the company itself. This report does not contain an analysis of Shell’s corporate responsibility policies, operational aspects of corporate responsibility management, implementation systems, reporting and transparency, or total performance on any issue.
