  • The Development of the Philippine Foreign Service
    The Development of the Philippine Foreign Service During the Revolutionary Period and the Filipino- American War (1896-1906): A Story of Struggle from the Formation of Diplomatic Contacts to the Philippine Republic Augusto V. de Viana University of Santo Tomas The Philippine foreign service traces its origin to the Katipunan in the early 1890s. Revolutionary leaders knew that the establishment of foreign contacts would be vital to the success of the objectives of the organization as it struggles toward the attainment of independence. This was proven when the Katipunan leaders tried to secure the support of Japanese and German governments for a projected revolution against Spain. Some patriotic Filipinos in Hong Kong composed of exiles also supported the Philippine Revolution.The organization of these exiled Filipinos eventually formed the nucleus of the Philippine Central Committee, which later became known as the Hong Kong Junta after General Emilio Aguinaldo arrived there in December 1897. After Aguinaldo returned to the Philippines in May 1898, he issued a decree reorganizing his government and creating four departments, one of which was the Department of Foreign Relations, Navy, and Commerce. This formed the basis of the foundation of the present Department of Foreign Affairs. Among the roles of this office was to seek recognition from foreign countries, acquire weapons and any other needs of the Philippine government, and continue lobbying for support from other countries. It likewise assigned emissaries equivalent to today’s ambassadors and monitored foreign reactions to the developments in the Philippines. The early diplomats, such as Felipe Agoncillo who was appointed as Minister Plenipotentiary of the revolutionary government, had their share of hardships as they had to make do with meager means.

  • UPSEAA DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARDS RECIPIENTS of DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI CITATIONS – Graduated Before 1965
    UPSEAA DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARDS RECIPIENTS OF DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI CITATIONS – Graduated before 1965 AMADO A. CASTRO (BSBA major in Economics, 1948) Dr. Amado A. Castro can be said to be the man who was present at the creation. He was the very first Dean of the UP School of Economics from its founding in 1965 to 1973, during which he built a faculty known as the strongest in Southeast Asia. He joined UP in 1948 as Instructor in Economics at the College of Business Administration (CBA) where he became Head of the Department of Economics in June 1956. He was Acting Dean of the CBA in 1958, and Director of the Institute of Economic Development and Research from 1958 to 1966. When he came back from the US after obtaining his Doctorate degree in Economics at Harvard University in 1954, he was the only faculty with a Ph.D. and was teaching all economics courses except public finance, although he eventually became known to many students for teaching economic history courses. He retired from the UP School of Economics in 1989 and became a Professorial lecturer at the University of Asia & the Pacific. With his remarkable pedagogical record of consistent excellence for 41 years at UP, he nurtured and inspired multiple generations of economics students. His work as a founding member and past president of the Philippine Economic Society in 1960, and as past President of the Pastoral Council of Sto. Cristo parish in San Juan, and on the board of San Martin de Porres Charity Hospital, exemplified his deep sense of caring and commitment to his students and fellowmen.
