  • Philippine Radio-History and Problems
    PHILIPPINE RADIO- HISTORY AND PROBLEMS JoHN A. LENT DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING REVOLUTIONARY DETERMI- NANTS of Philippine society will usually cover a wide range of subjects. Often included in such discussion is the transistor radio, 1 an innovation which has done its revolutionizing predominantly on the local level. Barrio (small village) folk, traditionally isolated from the outside world, now absorb fresh ideas and keep abreast of national and inter- national developments through transistors. The transistor revolution in the Philippines began in 1959 when CARE donated a few thousand tran- sistors to the barrios. When he asked CARE to donate the radios, Presi- dent Carlos P. Garcia explained that the radios would combat subversive elements in the rural areas. Why the great emphasis placed on the tran- sistor? What was wrong with the battery or electric radios? First of all, many barrios in the Phil.ippines do rtot have electricity: and those having electricity still think of it as a luxury to be used sparingly. In addition, battery radios are prohibitively costly (because of the short life of the expensive batteries) and cumbersome. Thus, the transistor in some cases has replaced the usual method of getting information - by word of mouth. This method was time-con- suming in that it often took two months for information to sift to the barrios from the urban centers. Traditionally, as one source mentioned: "Newspapers, magazines and other written material count for much less in the barrio scheme of communication than the afternoon session at the barrio lieutenant's house; and the morning gatherings at the well or river hank in the case of the woman."2 Although the transistor is still a supplement to the word-of-mouth source of news, villagers are quickly accepting its soap operas, balagtasan (debates in verse), advice-to-the-lovelorn programs and music fare.

Regis A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy, Chair Professor Elaine H. Kim Professor Khatharya Um Professor Irene Bloemraad Fall 2013 Abstract Mediating Global Filipinos: The Filipino Channel and the Filipino Diaspora by Ethel Marie P. Regis Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy, Chair Mediating Global Filipinos: The Filipino Channel and the Filipino Diaspora examines the notion of the “global Filipino” as imagined and constructed vis-à-vis television programs on The Filipino Channel (TFC). This study contends that transnational Philippine media broadly construct the notion of “global Filipinos” as diverse, productive, multicultural citizens, which in effect establishes a unified overseas Filipino citizenry for Philippine economic Welfare and global cultural capital. Despite the netWork’s attempts at representing difference and inclusion, what the notion of “global Filipinos” does not address are the structural and social inequities that affect the everyday lives Filipino diasporans and the Ways in Which immigrants and second generation Filipino Americans alike carefully negotiate family ties and the politics of their changing identities and commitments.
