What is the basis of the Bataan Sustainable Development Strategy? The Bataan Sustainable Development Strategy (BSDS) embodies the The last three decades have seen the birth of a new object of inquiry – VISION and MISSION of the people of Bataan to chart a course for the the coastal zone. Environmental planners and scientists have identified this preservation of Bataan’s rich natural endowments. It is an optimistic strip of land and sea as a spatial area, which requires special study and statement by and for the people of Bataan to whom the province’s natural treatment. The focus on coastal zone and planning and management has resources, particularly the coastal environment, provide a source of livelihood, been brought about by two parallel developments – first, the changing transportation, recreation, a sense of beauty, culture, and history. orientation of human activities and second, an increasing awareness of environmental issues. The coastal zone may be defined in three ways: (a) The sustainable development strategy is a document covering the “ecologically,” as the land area influenced by the sea; (b) “politically” by environmental, economic, and social aspect of Bataan’s natural endowments some arbitrary distance inland from the high tide level; or (c) “socially” as the to which Bataeños ascribe different values and threats – real or perceived – area occupied by people dependent on the sea for livelihood. For any means, that impair those values. It is not easy to turn this knowledge and concern except setting an arbitrary distance, the exact extent of the coastal zone into concrete actions. It would take combined efforts of the local government defines rigorous definition due to the interconnectedness of ecosystem and – from provincial level to municipal and barangay levels – and the various human activities within this productive strip. sectors comprising the civil society, to work hand in hand in realizing this vision and mission. This would involve the changing of people’s behavior and The coastal zone is also a place where coastal communities exist. attitude, which is not a small task. The BSDS takes on this challenge by These are groups of people engaged in various sectoral activities.

  • The Great History
    CAPAS The Great History Created in 1710, Capas is among the oldest towns of Tarlac together with Bamban (1710), Paniqui (1574) and Tarlac (1686). Its creation was justified by numerous settlements which were already established in the river banks of Cutcut River since the advent of the eighteenth century. The settlements belonged to the domain of Pagbatuan and Gudya; two sitios united by Capitan Mariano Capiendo when he founded the municipality. Historical records suggest three versions on how Capas got its name. The first version, as told, was originated from capas-capas, the “edible flower” similar to that of the caturay or the melaguas that abundantly grew along the Cutcut river banks. The second version, accordingly, was adapted from a “cotton tree” called capas, in Aeta dialect. The third version suggested that it was derived from the first three letters of the surnames of the town’s early settlers, namely: Capitulo, Capitly, Capiendo, Capuno, Caponga, Capingian, Caparas, Capera, Capunpue, Capit, Capil, Capunfuerza, Capunpun, Caputol, Capul and Capan. Assertively, they were called “caps” or “capas” in the local language. Between 1946-1951, registered barangays of Capas were Lawy, O’Donnell, Aranguren, Sto. Domingo, Talaga, Sta. Lucia, Bueno, Sta. Juliana, Sampucao, Calingcuan, Dolores and Manga, which were the 12 barrios during Late President Elpidio Quirino issued the Executive Order No. 486 providing “for the collection and compilation of historical data regarding barrios, towns, cities and provinces.” Today, Capas constitutes 20 barangays including all 12 except Calingcuan was changed to Estrada, Sampucao to Maruglu, Sto. Domingo was divided in two and barangays such as Sta.

  • A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Historical Evaluation of The Emergence of Nueva Ecija as the Rice Granary of the Philippines Fernando A. Santiago, Jr., Ph.D. Department of History De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: The recognition of Nueva Ecija’s potential as a seedbed for rice in the latter half of the nineteenth century led to the massive conversion of public land and the establishment of agricultural estates in the province. The emergence of these estates signalled the arrival of wide scale commercial agriculture that revolved around wet- rice cultivation. By the 1920s, Nueva Ecija had become the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” which has been the identity of the province ever since. This study is an assessment of the emergence of Nueva Ecija as the leading rice producer of the country. It also tackles various facets of the rice industry, the profitability of the crop and some issues that arose from rice being a controlled commodity. While circumstances might suggest that the rice producers would have enjoyed tremendous prosperity, it was not the case for the rice trade was in the hands of middlemen and regulated by the government. The government policy which favored the urban consumers over rice producers brought meager profits, which led to disappointment to all classes and ultimately caused social tension in the province. The study therefore also explains the conditions that made Nueva Ecija the hotbed of unrest prior to the Second World War. Historical methodology was applied in the conduct of the study.

    EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) Second Regular Session ) DATE SENATE S.B. No. 2197 BTCCfr£NDfc A Introduced by SENATOR IMEE R. MARCOS AN ACT ESTABLISHING IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF LIMAY, PROVINCE OF BATAAN, A GENERAL HOSPITAL TO BE KNOWN AS THE LIMAY GENERAL HOSPITAL, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR EXPLANATORY NOTE Section 15 of Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that "The State shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness among them." The Municipality of Limay is a 1st class municipality in the province of Bataan. According to the 2015 Population Census of the Philippine Statistics Authority, it has a population of 68,071 people. According to the Department of Health (DOH), there are only two regional hospitals in Bataan, the Bataan General Hospital and Medical Center located in Balanga City and the Mariveles Mental Wellness and General Hospital in Mariveles. Clearly, these two hospitals are not enough to cater the population of the whole Province of Bataan with 11 municipalities, 1 component city, and 237 barangays and a total population of 760,650 people. This bill aims to a establish fifty-bed capacity district hospital in the Municipality of Limay, Province of Bataan under the supervision of the Department of Health to be known as the Limay District Hospital to uphold the mandate of the Constitution and protect the health of the citizenry and make medical services more accessible to the locals. This improvement will also lessen the need to travel for people in neighboring towns of Limay who needs medical treatment, especially during this challenging era of pandemic.

Guns, Art, and Empathy How Filipinos Opposed the Japanese Occupation (1942–1954) Jeremiah L. Bonilla Independent research through Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Grant Mentor: Dr. Kristi Govella As Japan occupied the Philippines from 1942 to 1945, anti-Japanese sentiment among Filipino civilians intensified, especially as the brutal Japanese soldiers policed and coerced civilians into cooperating with their new ruler. The Japanese asserted their power through public atrocities directed toward civilians and prisoners, as well as through the imple- mentation of mass censorship to ease the dissemination of propaganda, promote Asiatic identity and association, and prevent the spread of Western ideas. In this paper, I argue that Filipino civilians found ways of expressing opposition to the Japanese during the occupation period: by (1) joining and participating in the activities of the Hukbo ng Bayan Laban sa Hapon (People’s Anti-Japanese Liberation Army) or Hukbalahap, (2) conveying symbolic messages of opposition through various forms of artistic expression, and (3) empathetically providing sustenance and support to American soldiers.
