Carano-o, Layout Artist 4 FROM THE EDITOR Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the Philippine Social Science Journal has sustained the re- lease of its regular issues and a special issue this year. We praise and thank God for sustaining us with His abundant blessings! We are also grateful to the generous and supportive collaborators whose expert guidance ensured the quality and timeliness of the journal issues. A special thanks go to the UNO-Recoletos administration for the continued trust and support for this academic endeavor. As the challenging year 2020 comes to an end, I am once more proud and happy to present our year-ender issue, the sixth issue of the journal (Volume 3 Number 3, July-December 2020). The issue featured thirteen insightful papers that explored topics on church history, religious culture, health and wellness, societal issues such as street vendor relocation, agrarian reform program and tax col- lection, entrepreneurship, banking, and education. As our banner article, I chose the Augustinian Recollect Legacy to the Church in Negros Island as an introductory article in connection with the 500th Year of Christianity in the Philippines (1521- 2021). In this milestone of the Philippine Catholic Church, the Augustinian Recollect missionaries had significantly contributed to the work of evangelization of the country, particularly in the islands of Negros and Siquijor since 1848. Emmanuel A. Romanillos delved into the spiritual, socio-cultural, educational, and pastoral heri- tage of Augustinian Recollect friars in Negros Island since their arrival in 1848, which impacted every aspect of life in Negros. Their enthusiasm, supported by affluent immigrants, contributed decisively to a climate of optimism and progress, placing Negros at the forefront of colonial provinces. Their evangelization effort converted countless unbelievers, settled later in new parishes. The Christian heritage of faith is deeply etched in Negrenses and settlers. The building legacy of Mauricio Ferrero, Manuel Gómara, Felipe Lerena—the cathedrals of Bacolod, San Carlos, Kabankalan—lives on. The pastoral work of Gregorio Espiga, Fernando Cuenca, and Mariano Bernad is indelible in the annals of history. The educational apostolate in Bacolod, San Carlos, Valencia, and Bayawan is reflected in their alumni in public service, business, and religious or priestly ministry. Yanro Judd C. Ferrer and Roy Moore investigated the prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experienc- es (ACEs) in Payatas, a poor urban community in Quezon City, Philippines. Results found that ACEs were reported at significantly higher levels than in existing surveys, which were typically made of Middle-Class populations. The discrepancy grew at higher ACE Scores. Moderate childhood trauma, ACE Scores of 4 or more, was reported as two to five times more common in our Payatas populations than in the existing survey populations. Severe childhood trauma Scores are less available; however, these trends appear to grow at higher ACE Scores. These results suggest that ACEs are far more com- mon in poor urban communities. As ACEs are a major root cause of many social problems, including, but not limited to, addiction, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, depression, attempted suicide, and drug abuse, it does indicate a strong area for effective support. Jose Leonardo L. Degillo and Lisa Anna M. Gayoles conducted experimental research to deter- mine the effect of Religiously Integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (RCBT) on the psycho-spiritual well-being of people living with HIV (PLHIV). The results of the study revealed a statistically significant increase in the psychological well-being of the PLHIV before and after the RCBT. Although there was an increase in the spiritual well-being of the PLHIV after the RCBT, it was not statistically significant. The findings suggest implications for the inclusion of RCBT in the services provided for PLHIV to improve their psycho-spiritual well-being. Samuel Brando H. Piamonte, Mark Anthony M. Quintos, and Minami O. Iwayama explored the experiences

  • Saint Rita of Cascia Catholic.Net
    Saint Rita of Cascia Catholic.net Daughter of Antonio and Amata Lotti, a couple known as the Peacemakers of Jesus; they had Rita late in life. From her early youth, Rita visited the Augustinian nuns at Cascia, Italy, and showed interest in a religious life. However, when she was twelve, her parents betrothed her to Paolo Mancini, an ill-tempered, abusive individual who worked as town watchman, and who was dragged into the political disputes of the Guelphs and Ghibellines. Disappointed but obedient, Rita married him when she was 18, and was the mother of twin sons. She put up with Paolo’s abuses for eighteen years before he was ambushed and stabbed to death. Her sons swore vengeance on the killers of their father, but through the prayers and interventions of Rita, they forgave the offenders. Upon the deaths of her sons, Rita again felt the call to religious life. However, some of the sisters at the Augustinian monastery were relatives of her husband’s murderers, and she was denied entry for fear of causing dissension. Asking for the intervention of Saint John the Baptist, Saint Augustine of Hippo, and Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, she managed to bring the warring factions together, not completely, but sufficiently that there was peace, and she was admitted to the monastery of Saint Mary Magdalen at age 36. Rita lived 40 years in the convent, spending her time in prayer and charity, and working for peace in the region. She was devoted to the Passion, and in response to a prayer to suffer as Christ, she received a chronic head wound that appeared to have been caused by a crown of thorns, and which bled for 15 years.

  • Agrarian Reform and the Difficult Road to Peace in the Philippine Countryside
    Report December 2015 Agrarian reform and the difficult road to peace in the Philippine countryside By Danilo T. Carranza Executive summary Agrarian reform and conflict in the rural areas of the Philippines are closely intertwined. The weak government implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, inherent loopholes in the law, strong landowner resistance, weak farmers’ organisations, and the continuing espousal by the New People’s Army of its own agrarian revolution combine to make the government’s agrarian reform programme only partially successful in breaking up land monopolies. This is why poverty is still pronounced in many rural areas. The rise of an agrarian reform movement has significantly contributed to the partial success of the government’s agrarian reform programme. But the government has not been able to tap the full potential of this movement to push for faster and more meaningful agrarian reform. The agrarian reform dynamics between pro- and anti-agrarian reform actors create social tensions that often lead to violence, of which land-rights claimants are often the victims. This is exacerbated and in many ways encouraged by the government’s failure to fulfil its obligation to protect the basic human rights of land-rights claimants. This report outlines the pace and direction of agrarian reform in the Philippines and its role in fighting poverty and promoting peace in rural areas. It emphasises the importance of reform-oriented peasant movements and more effective government implementation to the success of agrarian reform. The report also asserts the need for the government and the armed left to respect human rights and international humanitarian law in promoting the full participation of land-rights claimants in shaping and crafting public policy around land rights.

  • Ratio: Official Land Redistribution Data in Search of Corroborating Evidence
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive ‘Farm holding redistribution’ ratio: Official land redistribution data in search of corroborating evidence Dy, Kenneth Academia Sinica – Institute of Economics 8 July 2021 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/109029/ MPRA Paper No. 109029, posted 04 Aug 2021 03:17 UTC ‘Farm holding redistribution’ ratio: Official land redistribution data in search of corroborating evidence Dy, Kenneth Bicol aAcademia Sinica – Institute of Economics Abstract The accomplishments of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) have been criticised for inaccurately portraying the land redistribution in the Philippines. Evidence has largely been anecdotal in nature. Examining the breakdown of the accomplishments as to region and type may reveal several important findings that aggregate accomplishment numbers conceal. But cross-validating official redistribu- tion results with data from a different government agency offers an even more unique way to prove or disprove the claims of agrarian reform authorities. This study com- plements earlier investigative studies by examining whether the decennial Census of Agriculture and Fisheries can offer corroboratory or contradictory evidence to pub- lished accomplishments. A ‘farm holding redistribution’ ratio and ‘land use change’ ratio were computed for this purpose, and analysed together with regional average farm size, farm holding Gini, tenure arrangements across time. Furthermore, it looks at the change in farmland distribution before and during the CARP implementation. After scrutinising the official accomplishments and CAF data, the findings reveal that indeed, CARP accomplishments failed to translate into landownership for small farm operators. However, there is a dim reflection of achieving its stated goals in regions that implemented more compulsory acquisition and in continuing past programs prior to the enactment of CARP.
