  • Music in the Heart of Manila: Quiapo from the Colonial Period to Contemporary Times: Tradition, Change, Continuity Ma
    Music in The Heart of Manila: Quiapo from the Colonial Period to Contemporary Times: Tradition, Change, Continuity Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre A brief history of Quiapo Quiapo is a key district of Manila, having as its boundaries the winding Pasig River and the districts of Sta. Cruz, San Miguel and Sampaloc. Its name comes from a floating water lily specie called kiyapo (Pistia stratiotes), with thick, light-green leaves, similar to a tiny, open cabbage. Pre-1800 maps of Manila show Quiapo as originally a cluster of islands with swampy lands and shallow waters (Andrade 2006, 40 in Zialcita), the perfect breeding place for the plant that gave its name to the district. Quiapo’s recorded history began in 1578 with the arrival of the Franciscans who established their main missionary headquarters in nearby Sta. Ana (Andrade 42), taking Quiapo, then a poor fishing village, into its sheepfold. They founded Quiapo Church and declared its parish as that of St. John the Baptist. The Jesuits arrived in 1581, and the discalced Augustinians in 1622 founded a chapel in honor of San Sebastian, at the site where the present Gothic-style basilica now stands. At about this time there were around 30,000 Chinese living in Manila and its surrounding areas, but the number swiftly increased due to the galleon trade, which brought in Mexican currency in exchange for Chinese silk and other products (Wickberg 1965). The Chinese, noted for their business acumen, had begun to settle in the district when Manila’s business center shifted there in the early 1900s (originally from the Parian/Chinese ghetto beside Intramuros in the 1500s, to Binondo in the 1850s, to Sta.Cruz at the turn of the century).

  • Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 275
    Mendoza / Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 275 REINFORCING MYTHS ABOUT WOMEN IN PHILIPPINE CULTURE Semiotic Analyses of the Sexbomb Girls in Eat Bulaga’s Laban o Bawi Trina Leah Mendoza University of the Philippines Los Baños [email protected] Abstract Movie and TV stars are an influential part of Philippine society. Not only do they entertain audiences with their television shows or movies, but their private lives and actions are arguably as interesting to the public. Celebrities and stars are admired, idolized, and looked up to by many of their followers, such that their values and actions can greatly influence their fans. However, their images may hold various meanings that are not evident to many people. This study analyzes a group of unconventional stars that changed the landscape of noontime viewing—the Sexbomb Girls—using a semiotic approach. It seeks to reveal the different images of women portrayed by the Sexbomb Girls, and understand how media can reinforce myths. The Sexbomb Girls were a social phenomenon and a product of production that depicted binary oppositions and metaphors: virgin/vamp, loud woman, and ordinary woman. These signs, binary oppositions, and metaphors served as myths that naturalized, influenced, and reinforced sexy female background dancers into becoming an ordinary part of noontime and game shows. Because they appeared six days a week in Eat Bulaga, the Sexbomb Girls have desensitized the Filipino masses such that seeing sexily clad background dancers in these shows has become ordinary and acceptable. Keywords binary oppositions; metaphors; semiotics; Sexbomb Girls; signs; social phenomenon Kritika Kultura 33/34 (2019/2020): 275–298 © Ateneo de Manila University <http://journals.ateneo.edu/ojs/kk/> Mendoza / Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 276 About the Author Trina Leah Mendoza is an assistant professor at the Department of Development Broadcasting and Telecommunication, College of Development Communication, University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).

Partie II. La « période espagnole » (1565-18971) Cours du … La particularité de la littérature philippine par rapport à celle des autres pays sud-est asiatiques réside dans la très forte influence exercée par le christianisme diffusé voir imposé par les colons espagnols. Directement ou indirectement, les valeurs du christianisme ont introduit des thèmes nouveaux dans les poèmes et les chansons ou des motifs nouveaux dans les récits/ mythes (par exemple introduction de personnages mythiques comme Noé, Adam et Eve, des objets, etc.). Directement parce que les premiers livres imprimés sont les catéchismes ; les poèmes écrits sont des prières ; la Passion du Christ a été réécrite en langues vernaculaires ; quelques passages de l’Evangile ont servi de bases à différentes formes théâtrales. Indirectement parce que même la prose suggère des valeurs chrétiennes. Ces relations étroites entre religion chrétienne et littérature écrite ont produit une catégorie de genre littéraire appelée par les spécialistes « littérature de religion et de moralité ».

  • 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.
