Prof. Dalisay will then present the results of a representative survey conducted with a sample of Filipinos and Chamorros living in Guam.

  • 20 Century Ends
    New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.

  • Making the Case for Middlebrow Culture
    Introduction: Making the Case for Middlebrow Culture BELINDA EDMONDSON A milestone of sorts was reached in 2007 when, for the first time ever, a dreadlocked, black Rastafarian woman won a Caribbean beauty pageant. It was no longer news, as it might have been ten years before, that Zahra Redwood, a dark‐skinned, black woman, won the coveted Miss Jamaica Universe title. The predilection for light‐ skinned, long‐haired Caribbean women of racially mixed heritage had already begun to fade in the English‐speaking Caribbean since the dark‐skinned black Trinidadian Wendy Fitzwilliam became the second black woman to win the Miss Universe title in 1998. (The first was the predictably light‐skinned Trinidadian contestant Janelle “Penny” Commissiong, in 1977.) “Marcus Garvey must be smiling in his grave,” exclaimed one admirer, implying that Garveyesque black nationalism had come full circle.1 But in a region where Rastafarianism has long been equated with poverty, marginalization, and subversive, millennial black power politics, Zahra Redwood’s victory was more than just an ideological triumph of indigenous aesthetics over Western ones. The Rasta beauty queen also heralded the depoliticization of black power aesthetics. Rather than the triumph of radical black nationalism, she highlights the co‐optation of both Western metropolitan and local working‐class culture in the upper echelons of Caribbean society. One interpretation of the Rasta beauty queen is to view her as representative of a globalized indigenous aesthetic, which she is. But even more so, she is the culmination of a long regional history of Caribbean middlebrow culture. In the beauty contest–obsessed societies of the Caribbean and Latin America, a contestant’s chances of winning a national pageant are directly related to the perception that she has a shot at winning an international beauty contest such as Miss World or Miss Universe.
