    Asymmetrical Interests, Disjointed Capacities: the Central-Local Dynamics of Political Violence Sol Iglesias PhD candidate, National University of Singapore Why does political violence occur in a weak state with an unconsolidated democracy? The real puzzle is when it does not occur. I argue that interests and capacity can result in political violence, but why violence is used, when it starts, and why it ends is contingent upon central-local dynamics. Central-local dynamics are the resolution of strategic and particularistic interests coupled with the capacity afforded by powerful national and local political actors to use violence in response to threats. In Northern Luzon, the so-called “Solid North” bailiwick of the Marcos dynasty and its immediate environs, elections account for most of the violence that occurs. Interactions between national and local elites were visible during elections, but account for little else in the intervals between them. Levels of violence were relatively low, the lowest across the cases. citation In Eastern Visayas, the New People’s Army (NPA) of the communist insurgency posed a serious threat. Attacks against the militaryfor and police left multiple casualties among state security forces. The army believed that the NPA had infiltrated hundreds of villages and compromised locally elected officials. The central government stepped up its counter-insurgency operations, brutally and illegally targeting civilians. The NPA was eventually drivenNot down , their ranks crippled further after successive natural calamities. In Central- Luzon, state security forces were directed against civilians and community organizers to protect economic interests of powerful local politicians—not least of which was the Cojuangco-Aquino family.

But despite all L the odds, the Filipino people were able to pull off what may be the most pivotal elections in the country yet. For the first time in history, the Philippines used computers to tally votes in a bid to curtail the challenges that have always plagued elections in the country. These include electoral fraud and the slow manual counting process, which took weeks and opened more opportunities for rigging and violence to take place.

  • SANCHEZ Final Defense Draft May 8
    LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK: SOLIDARITY CULTURE AND THE MAKING OF A TRANSNATIONAL OPPOSITION TO THE MARCOS DICTATORSHIP, 1972-1986 BY MARK JOHN SANCHEZ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History with a minor in Asian American Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Augusto Espiritu, Chair Professor Antoinette Burton Associate Professor Jose Bernard Capino Professor Kristin Hoganson Abstract This dissertation attempts to understand pro-democratic activism in ways that do not solely revolve around public protest. In the case of anti-authoritarian mobilizations in the Philippines, the conversation is often dominated by the EDSA "People Power" protests of 1986. This project discusses the longer histories of protest that made such a remarkable mobilization possible. A focus on these often-sidelined histories allows a focus on unacknowledged labor within social movement building, the confrontation between transnational and local impulses in political organizing, and also the democratic dreams that some groups dared to pursue when it was most dangerous to do so. Overall, this project is a history of the transnational opposition to the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines. It specifically examines the interactions among Asian American, European solidarity, and Filipino grassroots activists. I argue that these collaborations, which had grassroots activists and political detainees at their center, produced a movement culture that guided how participating activists approached their engagements with international institutions. Anti-Marcos activists understood that their material realities necessitated an engagement with institutions more known to them for their colonial and Cold War legacies such as the press, education, human rights, international law, and religion.

Dolojan, Nenita Rodavia², Isabel F.

Based on initial research on recipes and ingredients, cooking proto- cols for each of the recipes were established and sample products were cooked and were subjected to sensory evaluation by a trained panel, who as- sessed overall acceptability using flavor, meat color and sauce, thickness of sauce, tenderness, general acceptability and other sensory qualities. The reci- pes were modified as necessary and trials were repeated as needed. The most acceptable recipes were utilized for production. The three phases used as a process flow are: Phase I, the establishment of product recipe; Phase II for post sensory evaluation and Phase III for as- sessment of the implications of product attributes to product positioning.

  • ABSTRACTS IS SALVATION in SIGHT?: the QUANDARY of FILIPINA CARETAKERS in TAIWAN Roweno D
    Parallel Paper Presentations - Session 1 - Diaspora 28 February 2018, 3:30 - 5:00 PM SESSION 1A ABSTRACTS IS SALVATION IN SIGHT?: THE QUANDARY OF FILIPINA CARETAKERS IN TAIWAN Roweno D. Cinco Miriam College As is typical of unskilled migrant workers globally, caretakers from the Philippines are subjected to varying degrees of exploitation by their employers in Taiwan: extended work hours, no overtime pay nor days off, physical and emotional abuse. Worse, they are compensated way below the required minimum since caretakers are beyond the coverage of Taiwan’s Labor Standards Act. Lastly, their meager earnings are almost entirely siphoned off by an oppressive broker system. These conditions ultimately consign them to a status of marginalization no different to that they sought to escape from back home. That Filipina caretakers suffer the most in such a state of affairs is almost axiomatic. Their rights, as reflected in various instruments forged throughout the decades like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women, continue to be trampled upon. Is it because they’re “guest workers”, viewed with suspicion by most of their employers? Or could it be because they’re willing to take jobs Taiwanese nationals consider degrading? More than these, the reason is shockingly simple: It’s simply because they’re women. This paper seeks to identify, analyze and critique issues Filipina caretakers in Taiwan have long been mired with the end view of recommending further possible improvements. For one, our government should do more to protect their rights from pre- to post-deployment and adequately support their reintegration to society.
