  • CHAPTER 1: the Envisioned City of Quezon
    CHAPTER 1: The Envisioned City of Quezon 1.1 THE ENVISIONED CITY OF QUEZON Quezon City was conceived in a vision of a man incomparable - the late President Manuel Luis Quezon – who dreamt of a central place that will house the country’s highest governing body and will provide low-cost and decent housing for the less privileged sector of the society. He envisioned the growth and development of a city where the common man can live with dignity “I dream of a capital city that, politically shall be the seat of the national government; aesthetically the showplace of the nation--- a place that thousands of people will come and visit as the epitome of culture and spirit of the country; socially a dignified concentration of human life, aspirations and endeavors and achievements; and economically as a productive, self-contained community.” --- President Manuel L. Quezon Equally inspired by this noble quest for a new metropolis, the National Assembly moved for the creation of this new city. The first bill was filed by Assemblyman Ramon P. Mitra with the new city proposed to be named as “Balintawak City”. The proposed name was later amended on the motion of Assemblymen Narciso Ramos and Eugenio Perez, both of Pangasinan to “Quezon City”. 1.2 THE CREATION OF QUEZON CITY On September 28, 1939 the National Assembly approved Bill No. 1206 as Commonwealth Act No. 502, otherwise known as the Charter of Quezon City. Signed by President Quezon on October 12, 1939, the law defined the boundaries of the city and gave it an area of 7,000 hectares carved out of the towns of Caloocan, San Juan, Marikina, Pasig, and Mandaluyong, all in Rizal Province.

Araja The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is coordinating with the Bureau of Customs and the Justice department to file charges against the exporter and consignee of the illegal waste shipments from the United States that were recently intercepted at the Subic Bay Freeport. On Oct. 22, Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny Antiporda and Undersecretary for Special Concerns Edilberto Leonardo went to Subic to inspect the shipments. TRASH HAUL. Bureau of Customs-Port of Subic District Collector Maritess Martin points to a shipment of garbage, which was foiled before exiting the Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. The shipment was intercepted through the combined efforts of the Port’s District Collector, Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS), Enforcement and Security Service (ESS) and Assessment Division, with close coordination and collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The shipment arrived from the United States and was consigned to a certain Bataan 2020 Inc. and was declared as American old corrugated cartons for repulping. The shipments consisting of 30 container vans arrived in Subic in mid-October under the name VIPA Inc. and were consigned to Bataan 2020 Inc. with a business address in Baesa, Quezon City. The manifesto declared that the cargoes were “American old corrugated cartons for repulping.” An examination of the initial five containers by Customs and the DENR revealed “prohibited materials which were illegally imported.” Antiporda said the waste materials found in the container vans were a mix of plastic, paper and face masks, a violation of DENR Administrative Order 2013-22 or the Revised Procedures and Standards for the Management of Hazardous Wastes.

  • Tayabas: the First Filipino City Beautiful Plan Ian Morley Department of History, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR; [email protected]
    The 18th International Planning History Society Conference - Yokohama, July 2018 Tayabas: The First Filipino City Beautiful Plan Ian Morley Department of History, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR; [email protected] The historiography of the City Beautiful in the Philippines has, in broad terms, been dominated by two American planners, Daniel Burnham and William E. Parsons. In some ways this is to be expected: both individuals were known to have strong personalities; Burnham’s monumental 1905 plans for Manila and Baguio were central to a new urban design paradigm being manufactured in the country, a planning model which replaced the Spanish colonial spatial model based in the Law of the Indies (1573); and, Parsons from 1906 to 1914 as Consulting Architect to the Philippine Commission propagated the City Beautiful via comprehensive city plans and grand civic centre projects. But where in the Philippine City Beautiful narrative do Filipino planners fit? To date their role in the city planning picture during the American colonial era has been, at best, portrayed as minimal. However, given the author’s recent uncovering of new planning works by Filipinos, e.g. in Tayabas and Iloilo Province, is it pertinent to ask if planning historiography needs to be revised? Keywords: City Beautiful, the Philippines, American Colonization, Filipino architects, nationhood. Introduction City planning was a fundamental component of American colonial governance in the Philippines. It was used from the early-1900s to help ‘uplift’ and ‘civilize’ local society, and to additionally aid the American regime to demonstrate to Filipinos that a different cultural and political era had begun: urban designing in this political- cultural framework was used to not only remodel cities’ built fabrics so that they could be ‘modern’, but to also turn life within them away from church-lined plazas dating from the Spanish colonial period (1565-1898).

  • The Harassment and Persecution Judges and Lawyers
    CENTRE FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES AND LAWYERS SMK The Harassment and Persecution of Judges and Lawyers January 1988 - June 1989 Edited by Reed Brody INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION OF JURISTS THE CENTRE FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES AND LAWYERS (CIJL) The Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers was created by the Inter­ national Commission of Jurists in 1978 to counter serious inroads into the indepen­ dence of the judiciary and the legal profession by: - promoting world-wide the basic need for an independent judiciary and legal pro­ fession; - organising support for judges and lawyers who are being harassed or persecuted. In pursuing these goals, the CIJL: - intervenes with governments in particular cases of harassment or persecution and, in some instances, solicits the aid of a network of jurists and lawyers' organisations throughout the world to do likewise; - works with the United Nations in setting standards for the independence of judges and lawyers and the impartial administration of justice. The CIJL was instrumental in the formulation of the UN Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary adopted at the Seventh Congress on the Prevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders in 1985 and endorsed by the UN General Assembly. It is now working with the UN on similar principles on the role of lawyers; - organises conferences and seminars on the independence of the judiciary and the legal profession. Regional seminars have been held in Central America, South America, South Asia, South-East Asia, East Africa, West Africa and the Caribbean. Several national seminars have also been organised. These seminars bring to­ gether judges, lawyers, government officials, activists and academics to discuss obstacles to the implementation of the U.N.

  • Apolinario Mabini and the Creation of the Department of Foreign Affairs
    “For a Sample, a Button is Enough”: Apolinario Mabini and the Creation of the Department of Foreign Affairs Jose Victor Z. Torres De La Salle University Known by his sobriquets like “The Brains of the Revolution”; “The Sublime Paralytic” or “Ang Dakilang Lumpo”, Apolinario Mabini’s recognized role in the First Philippine Republic has been limited to being a presidential adviser and, later, President of the Aguinaldo cabinet. Little is known, however, of his role as the country’s first Secretary of Foreign Affairs. This article focuses on the first years of the diplomacy of the revolutionary government and the First Philippine Republic under Mabini’s role in the foreign affairs portfolio. It will attempt to narrate the history as well as the trials of the early Department of Foreign Affairs in its role as an agency of diplomatic relations amidst the birth pangs of a newly-created republic.
