PNP Supports S.A.F.E. 2016 Biggest shabu seized in NCR drug sting peratives of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) – District Anti- OIllegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group (DAIDSOTG) seized some 75 kilos of shabu worth Php375 in the possession of four Chinese-Taiwanese nationals caught in a drug-bust operation staged in PHILCOA, Quezon City on April 17, 2016, while seven persons, including a 12-year-old girl, were arrested by the NCRPO Regional Anti-Illegal Special Operation Task Group (RAIGSOTG) in Timog Avenue, Quezon City before dawn on April 24, 2016 and confiscated at least 20 kilos of shabu, with an estimated street value of Php100 million. The Php375-M shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) was the biggest shabu haul made by the QCPD operatives so far this year, achieved under the OCEANS 85 Case Operation Plan (COPLAN) which was started in January 2016 and designed primarily to combat the drug menace in Metro Manila and its suburbs. Nabbed in the PHILCOA drug sting were Chinese Wei Chang Lee, Henry Go Sy and Taiwanese Shan Wen Lee, and Chun Cheng Chu, the latter said to be a former officer of the Taiwan Air Force and the alleged leader of the drug ring. DAID-SOTG Chief, Police Chief Inspector Enrico E.

  • On Lav Diaz‟S a Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery
    ―Textual Mobilities: Diaspora, Migration, Transnationalism and Multiculturalism‖ | Lullaby of Diasporic Time: On Lav Diaz‟s A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery Christian Jil R. Benitez Ateneo de Manila University Philippines [email protected] Abstract Lav Diaz is a Filipino independent filmmaker notable as a key figure in the contemporary slow cinema movement. Of his oeuvre, one of the longest is A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (Filipino: Hele sa Higawang Hapis), a 2016 epic film that runs for 8 hours, orchestrating narratives derived from what are conveniently sung as mythology (i.e., Jose Rizal‘s El filibusterismo and Philippine folklore) and history (i.e., Philippine history and artifacts). The movie competed in the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Alfred Bauer Prize. This success has earned Diaz‘s the spotlight in the Filipino mainstream culture, enabling the film to be distributed to and showcased in mainstream platforms, albeit primarily garnering attention from the Filipino audience for its runtime and international attention. The movement of the film, as a text, from the local Philippines toward the international and returning home, incurs in it a textuality that disrupts the phenomenology of time diasporically, scatteringly: that as much as its 8-hour languor ―opens new perspective in the cinematic arts‖ according to the international rendition of this time, it is also the 8-hour whose value in the Philippine time is that of a day‘s labor, and thus the exoticization of its cinematic experience as a ―challenge,‖ having to endure an entire working day of slow cinematography. This diaspora of time is of no cacophony; on the contrary, it is the lullaby, sorrowful and mysterious, that finally slows Diaz in to become a filmmaker attuned to both the spaces of the local and the international.

  • PRIVILEGE SPEECH of REP. BATAOIL REP. BATAOIL. Thank
    PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. BATAOIL REP. BATAOIL. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, fellow Members of the House of Representatives, our distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant day to all of you. The Philippine Republic played host to a series of meetings of the different working groups of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation or APEC, which culminated in the high-profile Economic Leaders’ Meeting. The Economic Leaders’ Meeting gathered 21 heads of states and country representatives. The security risk in this event had been very high, especially after a few days only from the Paris terror attacks which claimed hundreds of innocent civilians. Thus, the Philippine National Police, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and other law enforcement agencies came up with a highly-detailed security plan to ensure the safety of the world leaders and their respective delegations, as well as that of the international media covering the event. Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, I would like to express my sincerest commendations and the commendation of the House of Representatives to the 2015 APEC Security Task Force, led by the members of the Philippine National Police and of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, for executing thoroughly-planned security procedures that ensured the safety of the foreign dignitaries, the media and the local population. The burden of being at the forefront of a high- profile event is by no means easy. As a police general, together with Generals Acop, Pagdilao and my two colleagues in the Magdalo Party-List, including our adviser, General Biazon, who are now also Members of the Philippine Congress, I understand the complexities of establishing security in big areas, and last week’s security structure and implementation was very hard because global leaders like US President Obama, Chinese President Xi Jinping, former Russian President and now Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and other world and regional leaders gathered in one place after the world was threatened by the Paris attacks.

  • Pangasinan Lenten Cultural Practices: a Dying Ritual?
    Pangasinan Lenten Cultural Practices: A Dying Ritual? By ELNORA B. DUDANG . Pangasinan State University Lingayen Campus [email protected] Introduction ALMOST every town in the Philippines holds unique Holy Week rites, centered on the reenactment of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection. Many will observe Good Friday, the most holy day of Holy Week, when Jesus was nailed to the Cross and died on the Golgotha in Mount Calvary in Jerusalem 2000 years ago. The “Moriones”, “Penitencia”, “Cenaculo”, “Visita Iglesia” and the “Pabasa” are Holy Week activities that are held nationwide, although the Moriones Festival is held exclusively in the island province of Marinduque. Embodying the beliefs, traditions and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Filipinos, they are vital components of our history and culture - especially the history of Catholicism in our country. The month of April marks the celebration of Christ's death and resurrection, what the pious call in the Philippines "Holy Week" or Semana Santa or Cuaresma.. In contrast to other Christian countries, Filipino Catholics give emphasis on the suffering of Christ, rather than on His resurrection, on the belief that salvation comes at the end. Religious piety is passionately displayed in different parts of the Philippines, particularly in the provinces where communities go on pilgrimage to as many churches and devotees re-enacting Christ's ordeal through real-life crucifixion under the scorching heat of the sun. They also celebrate Maundy Thursday, attending church services and watching Passion Plays. In one practice called visita iglesia, Catholics try to visit as many churches as they can. On Good Friday, among believers in certain areas, such as Manila, San Fernando in Pampanga Province, and Antipolo in Rizal Province, They also celebrate Maundy Thursday, attending church services and watching Passion Plays.

  • Filipino American Youth and Culture by Ed Tiong
    Filipino American Youth and Culture by Ed Tiong General Information The Republic of the Philippines, located off the southeast coast of Asia, is one of the largest island groups in the world, numbering 7,107 islands. The 1995 population was approximately 60.5 million, with fifty-five percent of the people living on the largest island of Luzon. Approximately eighty-five percent of Filipinos are Catholic, with large numbers of Protestants and Muslims. Filipinos comprise approximately 111 cultural and linguistic groups, mainly of Malayo-Polynesian origin. The ethnic make-up of the population has been greatly influenced by Chinese, Spanish, and Caucasian American intermarriages. Among the eleven language groups of the country, Filipino is the official national language which is native to the peoples of Central Luzon. The Philippines is, nevertheless, the third largest English-speaking country in the world. During the sixteenth century, Spain conquered the islands which they named for King Phillip II as "Las Islas Filipinas" or the Philippine Islands. After 327 years of Spanish domination, the Filipinos revolted, and won their independence in 1898. However, after the Spanish-American War, the United States controlled the Philippines until 1942, when Japan seized control until they were liberated by the Americans. Finally, in 1946, the American Congress granted independence to the Filipinos, and the second Republic of the Philippines was born. Filipino Migration Historians identify four major waves of Filipino migration to the United States. The first wave between 1898 and 1941 was comprised mostly of "pensionados" or scholars sent by the American government to U.S. schools, and large numbers of laborers recruited to work on farms in Hawaii and California.

It investigates how their everyday encounters with diaspora media produce patterns of consumption and interpretation that locates identity, resistance and citizenship as discourses performed with and in media. Through interviews, participant observation and storytelling, the study argues that Filipino Americans’ active engagement with karaoke, the Filipino Channel, a transnational media platform and community newspapers activates becoming more Filipino in the diaspora, long distance activism and a performance of diasporic citizenship informed by cosmopolitanism. These media performances are not mere happenstances but are conscious acts informed by a logic of diasporic performativity that locates active engagement with media as an expression of human agency. iii Dedication To my loving parents, Anselmo and Natividad, for all the sacrifice, wisdom and stories that nourished me as a child and as a student of life iv Acknowledgments I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr.

  • The Federation of Free Farmers and Its Significance in the History of the Philippine Peasant Movement
    Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. ῐῐ,No.῍, June ῎ῌῌῒ The Federation of Free Farmers and Its Significance in the History of the Philippine Peasant Movement Masataka K>BJG6ῌ Abstract On June ῕, ῎ῌῌ῎, Jeremias U. Montemayor, the founder and supreme leader of the Federa- tion of Free Farmers (FFF) for half a century, passed away. The FFF was formed in ῍῕ῑ῏ when the communist-led peasant movement was defeated; it became the most dominant peasant organization in the ῍῕ῒῌs; and it had remained one of the most influential until his death. This article focuses on the FFF which can be considered to have been the most significant moderate organization of the Philippine peasant movement that emerged after the ῍῕ῑῌs. It analyses the FFF’s characteristics in terms of the specialized patron-client model instead of the class model which has usually been employed in studying peasant organizations. Based on the analysis, the paper also discusses the historical significance of the FFF and tries to present a new perspective of the history of the Philippine peasant movement from the ῍῕ῑῌstothe῍῕῕ῌs. Keywords: The Federation of Free Farmers, peasant movement, peasant organization, rural organization, Philippine history, Philippine politics I Introduction The formation of the Federation of Free Farmers (FFF) in the early ῍῕ῑῌs was an epoch-making event in the development of the Philippine peasant movement: it was not only important to the peasant movement itself, but would also result in a significant change in the way the history of the Philippine peasant movement was viewed. The importance of the latter point, however, has not been fully recognized.
