    You CAn not Bite Kiss the Hand You Cannot Bite Pio Abad I have thought since about this lunch a great deal. The wine was chilled and poured into crystal glasses. The fish was served on porcelain plates that bore the American eagle. The sheepdog and the crystal and the American eagle together had on me a certain anesthetic effect, temporarily deadening that receptivity to the sinister that afflicts everyone in Salvador, and I experienced for a moment the official American delusion, the illusion of plausibility, the sense that the American undertaking in El Salvador might turn out to be, from the right angle, in the right light, just another difficult but possible mission in another troubled but possible country. —Joan Didion1 SEACLIFF At my mother’s wake two years ago, I found out that she was adept 1. Joan Didion, at assembling a rifle. I have always been aware of her radical past Salvador but there are certain details that have only surfaced recently. The (Vintage: 1994), intricacies of past struggles had always surrendered to the urgen- 112, pp. 87-88. cies of present ones. My parents were both working as labor organizers when they met in the mid-70s. Armed with Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals (1971) and Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968), they would head to the fishing communities on the outskirts of Manila to assist fishermen, address their livelihood issues and educate them on the political climate of the country. It was this solidarity work and their eventual involvement in the democratic socialist movement that placed them within the crosshairs of Ferdinand Marcos’ military.

  • The State Department Boys: Philippine Diplomacy and Its American Heritage
    Language Learning as Part of Fieldwork Technique 143107 The State Department Boys: Philippine Diplomacy and its American Heritage. Marciano R. de Borja. Washington, D.C.: Vellum Press, 2014. 388 pages. ISBN 099150478X. The literature on the Philippines’ diplomatic history has often focused on Philippines-United States relations and on bilateral relations with other nations, looking, at times, on the lives of diplomats. State Department Boys, by Marciano R. de Borja, touches on both topics and uncovers several unseen facets therein. It discusses the career, political stances, and connections of the 40 Philippine diplomats trained by the U.S. State Department. These “State Department Boys” took a “crash course” on foreign service under Edward W. Mill. Mill was a Foreign Service Reserve Officer; he drafted the official statement of President Truman declaring the Philippine Independence in 1946. The author, de Borja, was a senior career diplomat at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). He is presently assigned as Consul-General in Guam. He previously worked at different posts at the DFA-Home Office and at different overseas posts, including the United Nations. He began his stint in Foreign Service in September 1992, having been placed fifth in the Foreign Service Officers’ Examination the year before. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History and European Languages degree from the University of the Philippines and a Master’s Degree in History and Geography at the University of Navarra in Spain. The book consists of eight chapters: (1) The Pioneers; (2) Diplomatic and Consular Training; (3) A Foreign Office for a New Nation; (4) Dealing with America; (5) On the International Stage; (6) Reaching Out to a Larger World; (7) Surviving the Foreign Service; and lastly, (8) The Father of Philippine Foreign Service.

  • The 2019 May Elections and Its Implications on the Duterte Administration
    The 2019 May Elections and its Implications on the Duterte Administration National Political Situationer No. 01 19 February 2019 Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) National Political Situationer No. 01 19 February 2019 The 2019 May Elections and its Implications on the Duterte Administration The last three years of any elected administration can be very contentious and trying times. The national leadership’s ability to effectively respond to political and related challenges will be significantly shaped by the outcome of the upcoming 2019 mid-term elections. Indeed, the 2019 election is a Prologue to the 2022 elections in all its uncertainties and opportunities. While the 2019 election is only one arena of contestation it can set the line of march for more momentous events for the next few years. Introduction Regular elections are an enduring feature of Philippine political life. While there continue to be deep-seated structural and procedural problems attending its practice in the country, the electoral tradition is a well-established arena for choosing elected representatives from the lowest governing constituency (the barangays) to the national governing bodies (the legislature and the presidency). Electoral exercises trace their roots to the first local elections held during the Spanish and American colonial eras, albeit strictly limited to the propertied and educated classes. Under American colonial rule, the first local (town) elections were held as early as 1899 and in 1907 the first election for a national legislature was conducted. Thus, with the exception of the Japanese occupation era (1942-1945) and the martial law period under Pres. Marcos (1972-1986; although sham elections were held in 1978 and 1981), the country has experienced regular although highly contested elections at both the local and national levels for most of the country’s political history.
