The Japanese Commercial Community of Pre World War Ii Manila
Sejarah, No. 26, Bil. 1, Jun 2017, hlm. 83-97 DIVERSIFYING URBANITY: THE JAPANESE COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY OF PRE WORLD WAR II MANILA Augusto V. de Viana Abstract Starting from a small group of transient peddlers and workers early in the 20th century, Manila’s Japanese commercial community became a diverse group of businessmen whose establishments contributed to the character of the city. Internal and external factors were responsible for the growth of the Japanese community in Manila that by the 1930s the commercial community numbered 250 establishments ranging from small shops to branches of big Japanese corporations such as Mitsui Bussan and Daido Boeki Kaisha (today’s Marubeni Corporation). Though the Japanese commercial community in the 20th century was a recent arrival and it was small compared to the communities of other nationalities its businessmen showed exceptional acumen that by the 1930s many things that a Filipino bought or ate passed through a Japanese merchant. Sections of Manila became known as “Manila’s Ginza” and “Little Tokyo” because of the presence of many Japanese establishments. As the decade of the thirties approached the 1940s the foreign community especially those of the Japanese faced the challenge of rising Filipino economic nationalism caused by the sentiment over the foreign domination of the Philippine economy. Instead of crumbling to the pressure the Japanese commercial community did not just survived but continued its expansion as it addressed the threats to its existence and it was prepared to defend its rights and gains through any means possible including force if necessary. This paper discusses the reasons for the growth of the Japanese businesses in Manila during the first four decades of the 20th century. -

Tsunami 6 Months After Foreword At the end of December 2004, Plan joined people from neighbouring communities, local governmental and voluntary organisations, and the international community to respond to the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster. It seems appropriate now both to reflect on what has happened since the tsunami struck, and to look at the work in the months and years ahead. The tsunami was an unprecedented disaster, both in terms of its impact and in the scale of local and international responses. Given this, what has Plan been able to achieve or not achieve over the past six months? How did Plan work with people in their struggle to reclaim their normal lives? What children’s issues were we in Plan able to address, and what issues remain? Outsiders tend to see the victims and survivors of disasters as a homogeneous group. In fact, there are as many stories as there are people. -

Augusto DE VIANA University of Santo Tomas MANILA
From Pride to Humiliation and Redemption: The Expulsion of Japanese Residents and Seizure of Japanese Properties in the Manila Area, 1945-1947 Augusto DE VIANA University of Santo Tomas MANILA ABSTRACT Before the outbreak of the Second World War, the Philippines hosted a significant Japanese presence. The city of Manila hosted the second largest Japanese community in the islands after the Davao region. Japanese residents numbered around 5,000 compared to Davao’s 25,000. The Japanese came to the Philippines because of economic opportunities the islands presented under the American administration. Originally they came as temporary workers and businessmen later some of them settled as more permanent residents. After establishing small businesses the local Japanese were joined by branches of big Japanese corporations. Some of the small businesses even grew to become large and profitable establishments. The Japanese commercial presence in the islands diversified the cultural makeup of cities like Manila. The Japanese businessmen studied Filipino buying habits and preferences and learned from them. As a result their establishments became progressive, rivaling even the more established Chinese businessmen. The Japanese community faced the challenges to their presence in the islands. The endured discrimination and outright hostility from the Chinese following the start of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937. They also adjusted to the wave of economic nationalism from the Filipinos following the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth. The Japanese community and their enterprises became a significant element in Philippine society in less than fifty years. However the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 changed all that. Following the Japanese occupation of the islands, Japanese residents were required to assist and serve the invaders.
