It was a spontaneous movement that caught fire and awakened the Filipinos to the call for change. It was a historical event that put the Philippines on the world map. Does remembering People Power still matter today? Last year, Tony Katigbak, a columnist of The Philippine Star, wrote, “Yes, more than ever. We need to be able to remember our history so that we don’t repeat it. We can continue to support our government and at the same time, exercise our right to question certain decisions that don’t seem right. In fact, as a democracy, it is our duty to do so. We just need to look at all the evidence and ask the right questions. I believe that openness and transparency is the only way forward for both the government and the people. If we can work together, we can still achieve great things.” This issue, we are featuring two Paulinians who played important roles in the EDSA Revolution— for the benefit of the present-day SPU Manila community members who may not be aware of their contributions to the cause of freedom in our beloved country. June Keithley-Castro June was a 1965 High School graduate, who made headlines for her portrayal of Maria in The Sound of Music, a Broadway musical which was directed by Fr. James B. Reuter SJ and which has been acclaimed as having merited for St. Paul College of Manila the sobriquet “Broadway on Herran.” She went to the US a couple of years later, but soon returned to the Philippines. She married broadcaster Angelo Castro, Jr. in 1973 and the couple had three children: Diego, an actor and anchor of UNTV, Gabriella, and Angelica. This was June’s role in the EDSA Revolution: Filipinos know the name June Keithley: the voice that sparked the first peaceful people power revolution in the world that brought the long-ensconced Marcos dictatorship to its knees. Broadcasting nonstop for 14 hours, from Radio Veritas and then from DZRJ, then camouflaged as Radyo Bandido (after the former was bombed by the Marcos military), Keithley called upon the people to gather at Edsa to protect the ragtag band of rebel soldiers in Camp Aguinaldo, led by then Defense Minister, now Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile and then Constabulary Chief Lt. Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, who went on to become President, succeeding Corazon C. Aquino. It is a name that has left an indelible mark in contemporary Philippine history and, for her tenacious courage, a grateful nation gifted her the Legion of Honor, the highest honor bestowed on civilians. In 2013, she and Fr. Reuter were given a plaque of recognition and the Spirit of EDSA award during the 27th year commemoration of the EDSA People Power Revolution. June died of cancer at the young age of 66. As befits a hero of the Edsa Revolution, her body lay in state at the military headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City. On Thursday morning, her body was taken to ABS-CBN, where necrological services and a Mass were held for her at 6:00 P.M. The military gave her full honors at her funeral in the Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City. Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala, spokesman for the military, said the honors would include pallbearers, the playing of the Taps and a gun salute. (Wikipedia) (This teacher remembers June as a not-so-ordinary student, who was not particularly attentive in class because she was always reading. Her stepfather was the manager of Philippine Education Company—PECO—so she would read all kinds of books before they were put on sale. This was probably where she got her deep insights into life and what matters in it. She gave the teacher a copy of The Little Prince, with the dedication, “for you have drawn me a sheep.”) * * * * * There was another Paulinian who played a role in the EDSA Revolution but is not known to many. She is an alumna of St. Paul College of Quezon City, Virna Lisa Mananzan (now Loberiza). Virna Lisa Mananzan became famous for singing the song “Magkaisa,” which to many is synonymous with the People Power revolt in 1986. The song that shot her to fame won her a new audience with the death of former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino. Many do not know that Virna Lisa Loberiza is an American citizen although her parents are both Filipinos. Virna acquired her U.S. citizenship because she was born in New York. Her song "Nagkaisa" has captivated millions of freedom-loving Filipinos in the Philippines and abroad, which could have catapulted her to stardom, but she prefers to remain in the background and chose to become a social worker, where her heart belongs. By all probability, not too many Filipinos—young and old—could make an instant recall the name of the then 20-year-old Virna Lisa 21 years after she sang "Nagkaisa," that became a gold record despite being an obscure singer. She is married to Snowden Mananzan, a Filipino banker, who is the vice president of United Commercial Bank in New York. They got married in California in 1990 and have three children, Jaco, 15, Toby, 13, and only girl whom they named Frankie, 8. She finished her studies in the Philippines at St. Paul's College, Adamson University and later at the University of Sto. Tomas where she took up architecture but never graduated because she was a "Green Card" holder. Lisa's father, Joey Loberiza, was formerly connected with Toyota Tamaraw, and her mother is the former movie actress, Aura Aurea. (Wikipedia) Virna is an active board member of the Paulinian Global Foundation and donor for SPU Manila advocacies. Here are the lyrics of the song, composed by Tito Sotto and sung by Virna Lisa, which moved many Filipinos to tears at that time: Ngayon ganap ang hirap sa mundo Unawa ang kailangan ng tao Ang pagmamahal sa kapwa'y ilaan Isa lang ang ugat na ating pinagmulan Tayong lahat ay magkakalahi Sa unos at agos ay huwag padadala Chorus Panahon na (may pag-asa kang matatanaw) Ng pagkakaisa (bagong umaga, bagong araw) Kahit ito (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal) Ay hirap at dusa Magkaisa (may pag-asa kang matatanaw) At magsama (bagong umaga, bagong araw) Kapit-kamay (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal) Sa bagong pag-asa Ngayon may pag-asang natatanaw May bagong araw, bagong umaga Pagmamahal ng Diyos, isipin mo tuwina (Repeat Chorus) Magkaisa (may pag-asa kang matatanaw) At magsama (bagong umaga, bagong araw) Kapit-kamay (sa atin Siya'y nagmamahal) Sa bagong pag-asa HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sr. Miriam Victoriano, SPC celebrated her 100th birthday on 18 February 2021 in the SPC Vigil House in Taytay. Sr. Miriam had been Grade Scool Principal in St. Paul Manila and pioneered St. Paul Pasig. She also served as President of SPCM in the late 1980s. .

  • Hindi Kami Bulag Sa Kadiliman at Paniniil Ng Panahong Marcos!
    Hindi kami bulag sa kadiliman at paniniil ng panahong Marcos! Pahayag ng mga kasapi ng Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila tungkol sa rehimeng Batas Militar at sa pagbaluktot ni Bongbong Marcos sa kasaysayan 7 Marso 2016 “Ipaubaya natin ang kasaysayan sa mga propesor, sa mga nag-aaral tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Kami hindi namin trabaho yan. Ang trabaho namin ay tingnan kung ano ba ang pangangailangan ng taong bayan ngayon.” – Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos, Jr. Bilang tugon sa hamon ni Ferdinand “Bongbong” Romualdez Marcos, Jr. na dapat husgahan ng mga guro at mag-aaral ng kasaysayan ang administrasyong Marcos, kaming mga nakalagdang kasapi ng komunidad ng Ateneo de Manila ay maigting na tumututol at kumukundena sa patuloy at sadyang pagbaluktot ng ating kasaysayan. Matindi naming ikinalulungkot ang walang-kahihiyang pagtanggi sa pag-ako ng mga krimen ng rehimeng Batas Militar. Hindi namin tinatanggap ang pagbaluktot ng kasaysayan, ang kabaga-bagabag na pananaw sa kinabukasan, at ang mababaw na hamon ng “pagkakaisa” na inihahain ni Marcos, Jr, at ng mga kandidato sa halalan ng 2016 na tulad niyang mag-isip. Malaking naging pinsala sa pag-unlad ng ekonomiya ng bansa ang malaking panlabas ng pangungutang na ginawa ng rehimeng Marcos. Hindi naging interesado ang rehimen sa kaunlaran para sa lahat, pangmatagalang pagpapapatatag sa estado, ni sa tunay na pagbabago ng lipunan, sa kabila ng retorika nito ng “Bagong Lipunan”. Sa halip, higit na pinagtuunan ni Marcos ang pagpapatibay ng paghawak niya ng kapangyarihan sa pamamagitan ng pagpabor sa mga kamag-anak, kaibigan, at iba pa nilang kasabwat. Kaya bumuo lamang si Marcos ng mga bagong naghaharing-uri o mga “oligarch” sa halip na buwagin ang mga ito—ang ibinandila niyang isa sa mga dahilan niya sa pagpapataw ng batas militar.

  • The Filipino Ringside Community: National Identity and the Heroic
    THE FILIPINO RINGSIDE COMMUNITY : NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE HEROIC MYTH OF MANNY PACQUIAO A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Margaret Louise Costello, B.A. Washington, DC April 30, 2009 THE FILIPINO RINGSIDE COMMUNITY : NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE HEROIC MYTH OF MANNY PACQUIAO Margaret Louise Costello, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Mirjana Dedaic, PhD ABSTRACT One of the main parallels between sport and national identity is that they are both maintained by ritual and symbolism. In the Philippine context, the spectator sport of boxing has grown to be a phenomenon in recent years, perhaps owing to the successive triumphs of contemporary Filipino pugilists in the international boxing scene. This thesis focuses on the case of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao whose matches bring together contemporary Philippine society into a “ringside community”, a collective united by its support of a single fighter bearing the brunt for the nation. I assert that Pacquiao’s stature has transcended that of the sports realm, as he is constructed as a national (i.e., not just sport) hero. As such, I study this phenomenon in two ways. The first part of my analysis focuses on how a narrative of heroism has been instilled in Philippine society through the active promotion of its past heroes. Inherent to this study’s discussion of the Filipino ringside community and heroism is the notion of the habitus. Defined by Pierre Bourdieu as a set of inculcated dispositions which generate practices and perceptions, “a present past that tends to perpetuate itself into the future by reactivation in similarly structured practices” (Bourdieu, 6), the concept of habitus can be directly applied to how the need for a heroic narrative has been inculcated within Philippine contemporary society.

  • While It Is Often Argued That the Mass Media Are a Force For
    Media as Site of Social Struggle: The Role of Philippine Radio and Television in the EDSA Revolt of 1986 Elizabeth L. Enriquez The media are an arena of social and political contention. While they are more often regarded as a force for the status quo, they also have the potential to arm their audiences with information these audiences need to effect change. The liberative potential of the mass media is enhanced by the growth of media technology, which, while enforcive of the rule of the dominant forces in society, also has the potential to empower forces challenging the status quo. For its capacity to transcend geographical and political boundaries, broadcasting is particularly crucial during crisis situations. By sending information to virtually any audience within technoligical reach in real time, television and radio create an immediate impact on public understanding, perception and opinion as a crisis unfolds and demands citizen response and reaction, thus helping mobilize the critical mass change requires. This was most tellingly and dramatically demonstrated during the 1986, or first EDSA revolt, when the broadcast media played a significant part in bringing Filipinos in their millions out into the streets to overthrow the Marcos dictatorship. hile it is often argued that the mass media are a force for the Wstatus quo, the media are also an arena for social struggle where change is negotiated. This liberative potential of the media is expanded by the growth of media technology, particularly in the area of broadcasting, even if the same expansion can be said to be another structure by which the dominant enforces its culture.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Unlike communist parties elsewhere in Asia, the Partido Komunista sa Pilipinas (PKP) was constituted almost entirely by acti­ vists from the working class. Radical intellectuals, professionals and other middle class elements were conspicuously absent. More parti­ cularly, the PKP was rooted In the Manila labour movement and, to a lesser extent, in the peasant movement of Central Luzon. This study explores these origins and then examines the character, outlook and performance of the Party in the first three years of its existence (1930-33). Socialist ideas began to circulate during the early 1900s, but were not given durable organisational expression until 1922, when a Workers’ Party was formed. Led by cadres from the country's principal labour federation, the Congreso Obrero, this party aligned its policies increasingly with those of the Comintern.
