UERM ALUMNEWS-2007-Edited ALUMNEWS Website-Link: uerm.edu.ph Newsletter of the UERM College of Medicine Alumni Association, Inc. 2007 HOMECOMING 2006 UERM@50 Exhibit in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of UERMMMC: the Silver Jubilarians put up an exhibit featuring the history of the college, all graduating classes 1961-2006, and in particular, memorabilia of class 1981 at the College of Medicine Bldg. lobby from December 12-20, 2006 and, at the Edsa Shangri-La Isla Ballroom foyer last December 21, 2006. Golden Jubilee Alumni Homecoming Golf Tournament, Tuesday, 20 December 2006, at 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. held at the Valley Golf and Country Club in Antipolo, the first-ever local golf fellowship during an alumni homecoming week. Dubbed as the Presidential Cup (in honor of UERMMMC President, Dr. Romeo A. Divinagra- cia), it was a fundraising project by the Silver Jubilarian Class of 1981. The winners were: Overall -Anton Aquino; Class A Champ-Virgilio Sioson and runner-up-Jonathan Sebastian; Class B Champ - Celso Fernandez and runner-up - Cervin Sarte; Class C champ - Bayani Garcia, Jr. and runner-up - Ben Lumicao, longest & most accurate - Chito de Guzman; and shortest - Celso Fernandez. UERMMMC Grand Alumni welcome Party for the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Physical Therapy was also held on Tuesday, 19 December 2006, at 6:00 p.m. It has been an annual homecoming hosted by the Medi- cal Center. At around 4:00 p.m. reported at the old admin building lobby to meet the early birds. The first to be there were balikbayans Jerry S. and Anthony S. Soon Portia and Cherrie showed up but they soon disappeared to the auditorium as both were on panic mode preparing for the big event (convocation ceremonies) the following morning. After spending some time viewing the lobby display (which Class ‘81 had to share with all the previous and later batches) and wondering how Annette V. was able to preserve all the students stuff ( including tuition receipts) and how Portia was able to squeeze into the tiny uniform she claimed to be hers, off to the hospital we went. (Sorry) I did not take any photos of the CCU and Virtual Library; but yes, we do have them now. Anthony S. lin- gered for a while at the pedia wards which was now on the 3rd floor of the charity hospital, away from the potential flood- ing of the hallowed grounds from the river Seine (San Juan actu- ally!). Continued on page 4 Page 2 Alumnews 2007 Bits and Pieces - 9,716 and counting ANDRES D. BORROMEO, M.D President UERM - CMAA, Inc. Now, it is official . Starting 2009, the Annual Homecoming for the UERM College of Medicine Alumni Association here in Manila will be held during the first week of February. The first Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be on Feb. 5,6 and 7. The formal night will be on a Saturday. Class ‘84 has been informed about this change and some batches have started planning their medical missions and reunions revolving around this new schedule. The present board consulted other batches and past alumni association presidents before agreeing to make this major change. This event will be staged approximately 7-8 weeks after the last December homecoming in 2008 being organized by Batch ‘83. The Present Board will continue to go around the Philippines and try to reach out to our graduates, many of whom have been “offline” from UERM since graduation. I met some of our graduates in Nueva Vizcaya last May 13, 2007 in an informal dinner meeting at the residence of Dr. Willy Damasco (batch 70) in Solano Nueva Vizcaya, he prepared a sumptuous Italian inspired menu. Dr. Tony Ligot of class 68 and past Alumni Association President in 1982, drove all the way from Banaue (3 hours of winding but scenic roads) to attend the occasion. As of this writing, we have already planned another sortie to Cebu City sometime in September 2007. The College of Medicine has produced graduates since 1961. That would roughly be 200 graduates per year. It would be nice to know their whereabouts. Just to complete our stats, the alumni office here in Manila will try get these figures from the class coordinators. Most of our graduates went into clinical practice after gradua- tion with many taking up specialties in the different fields of Medicine. A good number are in the academe in vari- ous institutions like UP-PGH, UERMMMC, St. Luke’s, San Beda, St. Louie University and others. Quiet a few are into general practice, moonlighting, with some going into nursing and most of whom are now in the US. UERM COLLEGE OF MEDICINE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, INC.

Page 4 Alumnews 2007 HOMECOMING 2006 ……………continued from page 1 Soon, we were in the old canteen where the rest of our classmates joined us to share a plate of Pancit New York, and where we had the first of a series of shocks, foremost of which was whatever happened to Gil G! (Gil F.: “Neurosurgeon ka daw!!). Then, across the road, to the old gymnasium we went and gathered like so many times before (opening of classes, basketball/volleyball, games etc.) It was decorated with Christmas motif and at one side of which a stage was set. People started trickling, in and when it was our turn to have a class picture, there were 19 of us with big smiles and much bigger hearts (not in failure, of course). And we all knew this was just the start of building memories and reconnecting with dear old classmates. The night was spent with laughter, lots of talking, drinking, eating and of course dancing. - Ric Zotomayor, M.D. Yesterday was a wonderful, wonderful affair, even if I arrived early and attended mass incognito with the nurses in the quadrangle, feeling sorry for myself for having believed any of my classmates would brave the traffic and come here for a “lousy” convocation. Al by my lonesome in UERM, trying very hard not to listen to the many, many familiar happy and sad stories its walls were trying to convey, I ended up touring the center and trying to see familiar faces in my desperate effort to connect. Except for Nonoy, one of the “boys in the back” of the Gross Anat- omy room whom I instantly recognized, everyone else was a stranger.

  • Multilevel Censorship As Media Repression in the Philippines
    PSSR 65/2 (2013): 45-72 Teresa Lorena A. Jopson University of the Philippines Manila Silent Assault: Multilevel Censorship as Media Repression in the Philippines Abstract This article examines media repression as experienced by independent media practitioners. It explores two cases of media repression through interviews: the termination of the radio program Ngayon Na, Bayan! (Right Now, People!) in 2006; and the censorship of Rights, a series of public service advertisements in 2007. State censorship through laws, review and regulatory boards, and the military, together with self-censorship among media practitioners due to pressures in the media industry, constitute multilevel media repression. The silencing of alternative voices is a form of everyday violence (Scheper-Hughes, 2003; Kleinman, 2003). As multilevel repression exposes the insecurity of a government in a state of crisis (Wieviorka 2003), a counter discourse to silence (Greene, 2003) is created in the process. Keywords multilevel censorship, media repression, state censorship, self-censorship, culture of silence, counter discourse Teresa Lorena A. Jopson is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Sciences, UP Manila. She has a BA in Anthropology from UP Diliman and an MA in Development Studies, Major in Human Rights, Development and Social Justice from the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam. Jopson.pmd 45 6/24/2014, 9:33 AM PSSR 65/2 (2013): 45-72 Teresa Lorena A. Jopson University of the Philippines Manila Silent Assault: Multilevel Censorship as Media Repression in the Philippines Introduction The contrast in the freedom of the press before and during Martial Law (1972-1986) – from the freest to the most censored, notorious for killing and jailing journalists – has been underscored in literature on censorship in the country (Lent, 1974).

Sison I. On the Genesis of the Philippine Nation and Filipino Identity Würfel (1988) establishes the following periodization of Philippine history: 1.) the pre-Spanish era, 2.) the Spanish era, 3.) the revolutionary period, 4.) the American period, 5.) the Japanese period and 6.) the post World War II period. I shall make use of this periodization in an attempt to organize the different value influences that have shaped economic life and business practice in the Philippines. The pre-Spanish era The first evidences of human habitation in the Islands may be found in the Tabon caves in Palawan. The artefacts recovered from the site date back to 22,000 B.C. The Banawe rice terraces in the Cordillera mountain range on the island of Luzon were built by the Ifugaos in the year 1 B.C., approximately. In 960 A.D. substantial amounts of Chinese goods began to flow into the Archipelago, and around 1100, the first Chinese colonies were founded along coastal areas. In the 1200s, Islam was introduced in the southern island of Mindanao. In the 1300s, a group of 10 "datus" or chieftains from Borneo settled with their kin in Panay Island, in the central region of the Visayas. When the first Europeans arrived, different communities of mixed Negroid, Malay, Chinese and Arab ethnicities were already inhabiting and flourishing in the Islands. Each of these groups had its own dialect as well as its distinct cultural and character traits: the sturdy and frugal Ilocanos, the industrious Tagalogs and the musically-gifted and entrepreneurial Cebuanos, to name a few.
