Specifically, this study investigates the main motivating factors/reasons as well as the degree of motivation of the Chinese-Filipinos in Davao City to migrate and settle in the Philippines generally and specifically in Davao City using the Push-Pull Theory on Migration. Push-Pull Theory on Migration is a neoclassical theory that emphasizes a migratory move is being stimulated by positive (pull) and negative (push) factors. Pull (positive) factors are opportunities attracting in-migration to a place. Push (negative) factors stimulate out-migration from a place. After migration, settlement takes place in which way of life could be established. One’s way of life can be seen or reflected in the attitude, belief, culture, customs, practices and traditions on various aspects of life like family, community, organization/ associations, education, business trade & industry, politics and government, religion, language and literature. In line with this, the study describes the Davao City’s Chinese Filipino’s way of life on the following aspects mentioned above. Describing their way of life could be a way to know if they are still imbibing Chineseness in every aspect of their life, and what aspect in their life that has more Chineseness.厦门大学博硕士论文摘要库 From describing their way of life, the study identifies how they have adapted to their new environment. Adaptation of migrants can be in two ways, it can be integration or assimilation. Integration is when individuals maintain their culture of origin and adapts to the culture of the host society (John W Berry, 1997) Assimilation on the other hand, is the full adaptation to the host society’s culture and rejecting the culture of origin (John W Berry, 1997). This study borrows the concept of Quadri-Modal Acculturation Model adopted from Berry (1997) (Figure 1) to iv determine whether the Tsinoy in Davao city has been integrated or assimilated to Philippine’s way of life through focusing on the two fundamental issues, the maintenance of the migrants’ culture of origin and the maintenance of relationships with members of the host society. The study found out that the Chinese-Filipinos (and their ancestors) in Davao city were prompted or pulled to move to Philippines due to a promise of a better life (economic reasons/financially secured future). Their migration was motivated by the many opportunities presented to them by Philippines. As for the ones who internally migrated to Davao city, they were pulled to transfer to the city due to close affinity to family and friends who might have a better living condition in the city. Their transfer to Davao city was motivated by following their family and friends who might have a better life in the city. Their settlement after migration paved the way of living their day to day life as Davao City Tsinoy and the study can describe their way of life as this - in almost of the aspects in their lives, preservation of Chinese heritage/culture and cooperation and unity with the Philippine society is prevalent. Among the aspects that gears towards preservation of culture are family, religion, business, language and literature. These aspects have all the inclinations from the Davao city Tsinoy to maintain their origin’s culture especially the family aspect that is surrounded more with traditional Chinese cultures. As for cooperation and unity, it is the aspect on organization/association, community, politics and government that gears toward achieving good relationship and cooperation with the Philippine society as well as with fellow厦门大学博硕士论文摘要库 Chinese Filipino. As Davao City Tsinoy’s way of life is gearing to maintaining their origin’s heritage and culture and at the same time achieving cooperation and unity with other members of community, it is more likely to say that Davao city Tsinoy are integrated to the Philippines and Davao city’s way of life.

  • Eaton Dissertation
    Governing Shōnan: The Japanese Administration of Wartime Singapore Clay Eaton Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Clay Eaton All rights reserved ABSTRACT Governing Shōnan: The Japanese Administration of Wartime Singapore Clay Eaton The Japanese military administration of Southeast Asia during the Second World War was meant to rebuild the prewar colonial system in the region under strong, centralized control. Different Japanese administrators disagreed over tactics, but their shared goal was to transform the inhabitants of the region into productive members of a new imperial formation, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Shōnan, the wartime name for Singapore, was meant to be the center of this Co-Prosperity Sphere in Southeast Asia. It was the strategic fulcrum of the region, one of its most important ports, and a center of culture and learning for the wartime Japanese. Home to thousands of Japanese administrators during the war and a linguistically, ethnically, and religiously diverse local population, Shōnan was a site of active debates over the future of the Sphere. Three assumptions undergirded these discussions: that of Japanese preeminence within the Sphere, the suitability of “rule by minzoku (race)” for Southeast Asians, and the importance of maintaining colonial social hierarchies even as Japanese administrators attempted to put the region on a total war footing. These goals were at odds with each other, and Japanese rule only upended social hierarchies and exacerbated racial tensions. The unintended legacy of the wartime empire lay, not only in the new opportunities that Japanese rule afforded to Southeast Asian revolutionaries, but in the end of the politics of accommodation with imperial power practiced by prewar Asian elites.

Rappler.com Published 1:45 PM, Feb 19, 2015 Updated 5:14 PM, Feb 19, 2015 BUSY STREETS. The streets of Chinatown, Binondo are packed with revelers and festival-goers. Rappler file photo MANILA, Philippines – Many people across the world – including those who are not Chinese – observe the Spring Festival or the Chinese New Year, celebrated this year on Thursday, February 19. Festivities not only take place in China but also in Chinese communities spread all over the globe called "Chinatowns." In history, Chinatowns served as major trading centers between China and foreign countries. Some are still very much alive today, and are guaranteed to give one an authentic taste of Chinese culture and cuisine. In the Philippines alone, these communities have found their way in the following cities: Manila Widely known as the oldest Chinatown in the world , this "little China" in Binondo, Manila, was established in 1594 to serve as a home to Chinese settlers during the Spanish regime. Streets and places in Binondo were given different Chinese names, some of which have been kept to this day. This Chinatown is known to many urban adventurers as a go-to for good food hunting . CNNGo, CNN's travel site, even included the Binondo Chinatown on its list of world's best Chinatowns . Quezon City The Chinatown in Quezon City is far younger than its Binondo counterpart. In 2005, the city council approved the development of Banawe Street as a special economic growth area, as several Filipino-Chinese businesses have already sprouted there.
