  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

The President. Compared to the second quarter 2012 survey, of May 24-27, the percentage satisfied with P-Noy’s performance rose to 77 from 63, and the percentage dissatisfied with him fell to 10 from 21. Consequently, his net satisfaction rating rose from +42 in May to +67 in August, topping his previous best of +64 in November 2010. Both his old and new personal bests are classified by SWS as Very Good (+50 to +69). P-Noy’s net rating rose most of all in the National Capital Region, from merely +18 (Moderate) in May to +59 in August. It also rose significantly in Balance of Luzon, from +41 (Good) to +70 (Excellent), and in the Visayas, from +41 (Good) to +76 (Excellent). In Mindanao, it was at a Very Good + 61 in both May and August. Everyone is entitled to do her/his own analysis of the survey findings. Personally, I do not emphasize too much the timing of the interviews -- that is to say, during the tragic week of mourning for the lost Secretary Jesse Robredo – because I prefer to look at the total picture encompassing the two successive quarters, in which the obvious big difference was the ouster of former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

  • 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.

(Santiago, 2017) • Addresses limitations of documents • Gathers insights and sentiments • More personal approach to recording history Oral History in the Philippines (Foronda, 1978) There is a scarcity of studies and literatures on the status and beginning of oral history in the country. DLSU Libraries as repository of institutional and national memory Collects archival materials and special collections as they are vital sources of information and carry pertinent evidences of culture and history. Oral history is one of these archival materials. Purpose of this paper This paper intends to document the oral history archival collection of the De La Salle University (DLSU) Libraries; its initiatives to capture, preserve and promote intangible cultural heritage and collective memory to its users through this collection, and the planned initiatives to further build the collection as a significant contribution to Philippine society.

  • Disappearance"/ Death Threats 12 March 1993
    EXTERNAL (for general distribution) AI Index: 35/04/93 Distr: UA/SC UA 68/93 "Disappearance"/ Death Threats 12 March 1993 PHILIPPINES: Romeo Legaspi, 58, Journalist / Publisher Amnesty International is concerned for the safety of Romeo Legaspi, a journalist and publisher, who "disappeared" after being abducted by four armed men believed to be linked to the Philippines National Police (PNP) on 11 January 1993 in Olongapo City, Zambales. Prior to his abduction, Romeo Legaspi had been harrassed and threatened by police authorities about whom he had written a critical article in the Voice of Zambales newspaper. Police have denied having him in custody and, as of 12 March 1993, his whereabouts remained unknown. The Supreme Court has yet to reach a decision on a habeas corpus petition filed by family members in late February. Amnesty International fears that Romeo Legaspi may be in danger of ill-treatment or unlawful execution if he is not located immediately. The organization is also concerned for the safety of Romeo Legaspi's relatives who have received death threats since they filed a formal complaint about his "disappearance". In 1992, ten members of the PNP's Intelligence Special Operations Group (PNP-ISOG) in Olongapo, including the Station Commmander, filed libel charges against Romeo Legaspi for an article which alleged that their unit had been involved in illegal activities, and which called for its dissolution. The charges were dismissed, but he continued to receive threats and warnings from the police involved. In letters to family and friends, and in his personal diary, he expressed fear that the police authorities might take action against him.
