Through an analysis of the historical origins and changing meanings of “ilustrado” in Philippine literary and nationalist discourse, this article looks at the politics of reading and writing that have shaped international and domestic reception of the novel. While the novel seeks to resignify the hitherto class- bound concept of “ilustrado” to include Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), historical and contemporary usages of the term present conceptual and practical difficulties and challenges that require a new intellectual paradigm for understanding Philippine society. Keywords: rizal • novel • ofw • ilustrado • nationalism PHILIPPINE STUDIES 59, NO. 1 (2011) 3–54 © Ateneo de Manila University iguel Syjuco’s Ilustrado (2010) is arguably the first contemporary novel by a Filipino to have a global presence and impact (fig. 1). Published in America by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and in Great Britain by Picador, the novel has garnered rave reviews across Mthe Atlantic and received press coverage in the Commonwealth nations of Australia and Canada (where Syjuco is currently based).

Vigía: the Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam
Vigía: The Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam Carlos Madrid Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center There are indications of the existence of a network of lookout points around Guam during the 18th and 19th centuries. This is suggested by passing references and few explicit allusions in Spanish colonial records such as early 19th Century military reports. In an attempt to identify the sites where those lookout points might have been located, this paper surveys some of those references and matches them with existing toponymy. It is hoped that the results will be of some help to archaeologists, historic preservation staff, or anyone interested in the history of Guam and Micronesia. While the need of using historic records is instrumental for the abovementioned purposes of this paper, focus will be given to the Chamorro place name Bijia. Historical evolution of toponymy, an area of study in need of attention, offers clues about the use or significance that a given location had in the past. The word Vigía today means “sentinel” in Spanish - the person who is responsible for surveying an area and warn of possible dangers. But its first dictionary definition is still "high tower elevated on the horizon, to register and give notice of what is discovered". Vigía also means an "eminence or height from which a significant area of land or sea can be seen".1 Holding on to the latter definition, it is noticeable that in the Hispanic world, in large coastal territories that were subjected to frequent attacks from the sea, the place name Vigía is relatively common.

Palauan Migrants on Guam
Ethnic Institutions and Identity: Palauan Migrants on Guam RICHARD D . SHEWMAN Departm ent of Anthrop ology , University of Guam, UOG Station Mangi/ao, Guam 96913 Abstract- There are over one thousand Palauan migrants residing on Guam. They have been able to adapt to life on Guam relati vely successfully while continuing to view themselves as Palauans and retaining close ties with Palau . The primary mechani sms in the maintenanc e of their identit y are the Pal a uan institution s. Similar in many resp ects to tho se found in Palau , the migrant institutions have their base in the kinship units , telungalek /kebliil, but va ry from the original as accommodation to life on Guam ha s demanded. These institution s give the migrants a context in which Pal auan langua ge and role relation ships can be experienced and channel s of reciprocity with Palau and among the migrant s ma intained. They also make adju stment to life on Gu am easier by pro viding a source of financi al, social , emotion al, and spiritual support to the migrant. • Palauan migrants residing on Guam present an example of a migrant ethnic group that is in the process of adaptating to a new social environment. My research was conducted among the Palauans of Guam from September 1977 through January 1978. One of the issues this research addressed was the maintenance of a Palauan ethnic identity while living on Guam. This article presents a brief description of the Palauan population on Guam and its social institutions , as they relate to the maintenance of Palauan ethnic identity and assist in a successful adaptation to life in the new environment.

Children in Guam
Children in Guam By the Population Reference Bureau The Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Population Reference Bureau November 2002 KIDS COUNT KIDS COUNT, a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, is a national and state-by- state effort to track the status of children in the United States. By providing policymak- ers and citizens with benchmarks of child well-being, KIDS COUNT seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure better futures for all children. At the national level, the principal activity of the initiative is the publication of the annu- al KIDS COUNT Data Book, which uses the best available data to measure the educa- tional, social, economic, and physical well-being of children. The Foundation also funds a nationwide network of state-level KIDS COUNT projects that provide a more detailed community-by-community picture of the condition of children. Population Reference Bureau (PRB) Founded in 1929, the Population Reference Bureau is the leader in providing timely and objective information on U.S. and international population trends and their implications. PRB informs policymakers, educators, the media, and concerned citizens working in the public interest around the world through a broad range of activities, including publica- tions, information services, seminars and workshops, and technical support. Our efforts are supported by government contracts, foundation grants, individual and corporate con- tributions, and the sale of publications. PRB is governed by a Board of Trustees repre- senting diverse community and professional interests. KIDS COUNT/PRB Reports on Census 2000 This paper is part of a series of reports on the 2000 Census prepared for the nationwide network of KIDS COUNT projects.

Seeing an opportunity to distinguish itself from other Bay Area lending institutions, TASI Bank will center its financial services around a wide-range of commercial opportunities throughout various business sectors, including commercial real estate, franchised gasoline service stations, hospitality (hotels and motels), as well as independent retail and wholesale firms.

Guam Museum Permanent Exhibition Overview History of the Guam Museum The Guam Museum, officially called the Senator Antonio M. Palomo Guam and CHamoru Educational Facility, is the first structure built for the sole purpose of housing and displaying Guam’s precious historic treasures. The Guam Museum reflects the diversity, creativity, and resilience of the people of Guam and the Mariana Islands. The permanent exhibition is the story of the CHamoru people, told from a CHamoru perspective. It is hoped to encourage people to engage in dialogue, to share perspectives and experiences and debate issues that concern us all today. I Hale’ta: Mona yan Tatte: 90 Years in the Making The earliest printed record of people making plans for a new museum dates back to 1926. The Guam Teachers Association, led by Ramon M. Sablan, a teacher best known as the author of the “Guam Hymn,” asked residents and friends of Guam to start collecting their antiques and other artifacts for a museum that would protect their history and CHamoru culture. The editor of the Guam Recorder, one of the earliest publications printed and circulated on Guam, also called for the opening of a museum.

Analytical judgment determined the threat posed by each drug type or category, taking into account the most current quantitative and qualitative information on availability, demand, production or cultivation, transportation, and distribution, as well as the effects of a particular drug on abusers and society as a whole. While NDIC sought to incorporate the latest available information, a time lag often exists between collection and publication of data, particularly demand-related data sets. NDIC anticipates that this drug threat assessment will be useful to policymakers, law enforcement personnel, and treatment providers at the federal, state, and local levels because it draws upon a broad range of information sources to describe and analyze the drug threat to the Northern Mariana Islands.
