  • Augustinian Recollect Legacies to Arts and Culture in the Philippines
    Augustinian Recollect Legacy to Arts and Culture PROLOGUE: The Augustinian Recollect priest of yore1 An Augustinian Recollect priest assigned to remote parishes and mission stations in the Philippines of the past centuries, even late into the tumultuous 19th century, was fully cognizant that his pastoral work was no easy job. Proficient in the native language of his parish, he was not merely at the forefront of the evangelization task. He was not just a minister of God, who took care of the spiritual and sacramental needs of his flock. He was, first and foremost, a community builder. In many cases, the priest was tasked to set up towns, build roads and bridges, supervise the construction of churches, rectories and parochial schools in those sparsely populated territories, isolated islands or poverty-stricken mission stations. He even constructed markets, cemeteries and stone stairways leading to church edifices on elevated land. In the early decades of colonization, oftentimes the Recollect priest constructed stone forts, watchtowers, palisades and fortress-like temples to defend his parishioners from Moro surprise raids. Such mission territories were precisely the lot of the Order of Augustinian Recollects in the colonial Philippines. From the Iberian Peninsula through Mexico they came in 1606, the last of the religious orders to evangelize the Spanish colony. On the whole, Augustinian Recollect missionaries—Italian, Mexican, Portuguese, Spanish peninsular, insular or creole—were dispatched to far- flung territories in Mindanao, Camiguin, Dinagat, Sorsogon, Siargao, Zambales, Bataan, Calamianes, Palawan, Cuyo, Sibuyan, Tarlac, Siquijor, Negros and Bohol. They further received missions and parishes in islands of Masbate, Romblon, Marinduque, Tablas, Aurora and Mindoro.

  • Supernormal Or Subnormal? Upernormal Conduction Is Not Actually Better Than Normal Conduction; It Is Only Better Than What Is Normally Expected
    Dysrhythmic Tales By Edgardo S. Timbol, MD Supernormal or Subnormal? upernormal conduction is not actually better than normal conduction; it is only better than what is normally expected. Unexpected conduction could occur if an impulse stimulates the myocardium during the supernormal period of excitability. Towards the terminal phase of repolarization, the downstream fibers can easily be brought to the threshold potential since at that point enough sodium channels are already available for rapid conduction. Electrocardiographically, the supernormal Speriod falls at the end of the T wave. Sinus tachycardia with 2:1 AV conduction is clearly depicted in the latter half of the lead V1 ECG tracing shown in figure A. All of the ventricular complexes have identical narrow QRS configurations which indicate a suprahiscian origin. The first and second as well as the fourth and fifth QRS complexes are closely coupled. Identical humps (marked by *) are found immediately after the first and the fourth QRS complexes which are, most likely, ectopic atrial complexes (Pl). Both of the Pl waves are followed by QRS complexes with identical PlR intervals of 0.30 sec. In the presence of second degree AV block, Pl waves occurring after much shorter P-Pl (0.380 sec) than P-P intervals (0.780 sec) are not expected to be conductible across the AV node, unless supernormal AV conduction is invoked. It is to be noted, however, that the Pl waves fall on the upstroke not on the downstroke of the T waves. Besides, the T waves do not represent the repolarization of the AV node wherein superexcitability is presumed to have taken place but the repolarization of the ventricular myocardium instead.
