NEW PLAN, WHAT PLAN? BIBLE READING PLAN FOR THE NEW YEAR IN AN UPSIDEDOWN WORLD USC Pathways is a student volunteer group that makes it their mission to promote education as a tool in uplifting youth to reach their dreams. Its members are called Pathfinders because they aim to help show others a path to success. Cebu is one of the regions in which this program is tackling the barriers faced by academically- gifted but financially underprivileged youth who are seeking a college education. “It opened doors for me which I never expected, doors within myself, within others, and within the community we thought we knew since we were born.” – Meryll A. (BS Electrical Engineering 3) Pathways' purpose is not only to provide financial support to these participants but also to assist them with the major difficulties that they face in their pursuit of a college education. These difficulties include things like lack of academic preparation for college, insufficient family income, lack of self-esteem, and lack of educational resources. To address these issues, Pathways provides access to education by offering seminars and serving opportunities. "I believe that volunteering in Pathways is like travelling on a road less taken. Many would start to join the ride but only a few are left to continue the journey. Aside from the advocacy, seeing the people that believe in it gives me the drive to continue serving." -Kristal K. (BS Computer Engineering 3) In Pathways, there are many students who volunteer the majority of their time to planning for educational activities from the elementary to senior high level. Giving out free education and opportunities gives the participants the chance to act out of servitude and generosity. Joining Pathways changed my life, although it was not easy at first as I am not from USC. As time flew, this organization slowly brought out the best of my abilities as a college student, and it also gave me a different perspective on life. Joining this is easily one of the greatest decisions I've ever made, and I am eternally grateful for what it has done not only to its project beneficiaries, but also to myself. – James V. (BS in Aircraft Maintenance Technology 4) USC Pathways opens its doors to new members every start of the semester with a membership orientation where they talk about their past events and how the events changed them. They don’t require your full attendance to every meeting or event, but if you want to participate in them, it is advised to try and attend the meetings every week to know about the details of the event. If you or anyone you know is interested in joining, there is a page on Facebook called USC – Pathways where you can openly voice out your request to join and be a part of the organization. Since it only accepts new members at the start of every year, you will have to wait until the start of the next year to join. You are welcome to leave your contact info if you are really interested in joining. Pathways will always be open to students who have the heart to serve.

  • 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.

  • Cinema) History
    Campos / Ghostly Allegories 611 GHOSTLY ALLEGORIES: HAUNTING AS CONSTITUTION OF PHILIPPINE (TRANS) NATIONAL (CINEMA) HISTORY Patrick Campos University of the Philippines Film Institute [email protected] Abstract By reading through the con–texts of Yam Laranas’s The Echo (2008) and Kelvin Tong’s The Maid (2005), the essay considers three Filipino genres that ironically gathered momentum at the time of the Philippine film industry’s crisis and decline in the 1990s up to the 2000s – the historical drama, the OFW (overseas Filipino worker) film, and horror. In the process, the essay constitutes an alternative map of Philippine cinema premised on inter-national transactions across states and film industries, on the one hand, and on the nodal and spectral bodies of Filipinas that network these states and industries, on the other hand. Dwelling on multiform hauntings, it ultimately focuses on how nations/cinemas – through (de)localized genres – are constituted and called into account by specters of (cinema) histories. Keywords Philippine cinema, Singapore cinema, transnational cinema, Asian horror, OFW film About the Author Patrick Campos is Assistant Professor at the University of the Philippines Film Institute. He is currently Director of the Office of Extension and External Relations of the College of Mass Communication, University of the Philippines, Diliman, where he previously served as College Secretary.

    Volume XXVI No. 11 November 2008 www.filipinostar.org Survey report reveals plight of Filipino caregivers, need for reforms Montreal, November 20, 2008 CTV news aired the release of a study about the plight of Filipino caregivers which brought to the attention of the public what the Live-in Caregiver Program is all about and how it has affected the lives of migrant workers who are mostly women. The study was undertaken through the collaborative efforts of PINAY members and the students and researchers of McGill University’s School of Social Work and the assistance of specialists from UQAM. PINAY, an organization of Filipino women in Quebec, founded in 1991, has been playing a key role in the struggle to protect the rights and welfare of migrants and immigrants, especially Filipina domestic workers and their families living and working in Quebec. During a seminar held at 6767 Cote des Neiges, a dramatization of the difficult working conditions of live-in caregivers, was an eye opener to what has long been hidden in the privacy of homes where they work. It Some members and officers of PINAY pose for souvenir after the seminar held on Sunday, November 9, 2008 at Centre See Page 4 - Filipino caregivers Resources Communutaire, 6767 Cote des Neiges, in Montreal.

  • Petition and Signatories Below As of 2:45Pm CET
    Civil society and individuals from around the world call on UN HRC Member States to Vote in Favor of the OIC Resolution on Palestine during HRC 30th Special Session Text of the petition and signatories below as of 2:45pm CET Petition in Support of Establishing an Ongoing UN Commission of Inquiry into Systemic Violations Targeting the Palestinian People on both sides of the Green Line For 73 years, the Palestinian people have endured an ongoing Nakba. Israeli settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid have meant a relentless onslaught on Palestinians across their fragmented geographies, aimed at their transfer, dispossession, and erasure, in order to ensure Zionist domination over Palestinian land and resources. In the context of the upcoming 30th Special Session of the UN Human Rights Council on the situation in Palestine on 27 May 2021, we strongly support calls for the establishment of an ongoing commission of inquiry into all violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including systemic discrimination based on racial, ethnic, or religious identity, on both sides of the Green Line. This investigative mechanism must address the root causes of structural and physical violence targeting the Palestinian people. As such, we urge UN member states to: 1. Engage in the 30th UN Human Rights Council Special Session and address escalating Israeli attacks against the Palestinian people, including their root causes, on both sides of the Green Line. 2. Establish an ongoing commission of inquiry to:

  • Filmography of Filipino Films 2012 Introduction by Lucenio Martin L
    DOCUMENT Filmography of Filipino Films 2012 Introduction by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon Compiled by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon, Maria Regina V. Mendez, and Alex Nicolas P. Tamayo Introduction Philippine cinema in 2012 can be pretty summed up by the box-office triumph of a most unlikely release in The Mistress and the international presence for the country’s national cinema courtesy of Brillante Mendoza. The Mistress is from the country’s leading studio, Star Cinema and is the kind of adult romance that is a throwback to love triangles of circa-1960s dramas involving the likes of Eddie Rodriguez, Lolita Rodriguez and Marlene Dauden in the film cast. It’s not exactly family fare and its success at the tills may hint at the changing dynamics of audience taste and patterns of consumption for local movies. As to the waves the country made overseas, two films directed by Mendoza gained significance. Captive—by all means an international film with a French legendary actress Isabelle Huppert in the lead role—vied for top plum at the main competition in Berlin. Superstar Nora Aunor’s comeback, Thy Womb, managed to land a slot in turn in Venice similarly for main competition. With a phenomenon that may prove distinct for Philippine cinema, industry production was much propelled by a kind of festival craze. Sustained endeavors for Cinemalaya, Cinema One, Cinemanila and Metro Manila Film Festival were matched no less by the Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival under the auspices of the Film Development Council of the Philippines—the national agency tasked to oversee the state of affairs pertinent to the country’s film industry.
