In 2005, the UNDP published a Social Artistry Field Book written by the Anthropologist Jean Houston, well-known for the potency of her pioneering work in capacity-building. We were fortunate indeed that the UP-NCPAG was among the institutions which accepted the initiative of the Civil Service Commission to appropriate Social Artistry for “Decentralizing the Millennium Development Goals” and was represented in the Training Workshop held at the Development Academy of the Philippines, conducted by Jean Houston and her Team of Facilitators, among them an actress-poet, an educator who created beautiful concept-maps that were works of art and a psychologist. In 2007, when the UP-NCPAG, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Good Citizenship Movement (GCM) chose to focus on the process of Social Artistry in the conduct of the 2nd National Congress on Good Citizenship, UNDP was eager to see how the congress would run and the effects it would have. In 2008, responding to requests by 2007 the Congress participants, the UNDP partnered with the Congress Secretariat, the Center for Leadership, Citizenship and Democracy, to implement “ImagiNation: Art of Nation Building - Extension Training Workshops” in Davao and Bayawan and partner in Training Workshops in Cebu, Los Baños and Manila. Soon after the Extension Trainings Workshops were implemented, the 2008 Social Artistry Trainees requested for a Trainers’ Training in 2009. Siningbayan –Training Pilots with various sectors and The Siningbayan “Marketplace of Ideas”1 have been piloted with members of national government, local government and civil society with the themes Democracy and Leadership. This Field Book produced by the UP-NCPAG responds to the requests to further facilitate the institutionalization of Social Artistry, the way it is now articulated in this rich tapestry of wisdom by Filipinos engaged in reawakening the Filipinos’ capacity to overcome poverty and transform corruption. MARY ANN Z. FERNANDEZ-MENDOZA Commissioner Philippine Civil Service Commission 1 An evolved Knowledge Product that came out of the initiative of Dr. Boyie Buendia to apply Social Artistry / Siningbayan process to the 4th UNDP Partners Meeting of 2009. i FOREWORD While the most obvious signs of our national crisis are massive poverty, high unemployment, and massive immigration, an increasing awareness worldwide of the need to build the capacity of the mind and spirit as a core and a pillar of development opens up opportunities for attainable transformation. The Filipino must now “discover a consciousness that articulates its own economic, political and cultural aspirations,”1 and discover venues for expressing his “goodness and genius as a people.” (Felipe de Leon,Jr., 2nd National Congress on Good Citizenship Presentor) The crisis we face today as a nation is the cumulative loss of the fundamental values and beliefs which our forebears adhered to. We have seen how Leaders of Local Government Units, National Government Agencies, Civil Society, Non-Government Organizations, People’s Organizations and Business who make a difference in our people’s well being are known for harnessing their “initiative, innovativeness and creativity” (Alex Brillantes, National Congress on Good Citienship Congress Co-Chair) in surpassing the logistical limitations of resources in order to deliver the services rightfully due every Filipino. This is “art whose canvas is society” (Tony Meloto, 1st National Congress on Good Citizenship Keynote Speaker). It is the “reawakening of the sleeping manlilikha in each one” (Joey Ayala, 2nd National Congress on Good Citizenship Resident Social Artist). It manifests in Patriotism, Integrity and Excellence. This is art that builds society, which we may choose to call “Social Artistry.” The Filipinos’ intrinsic Social Artistry needs to be harnessed quickly to stave off further deterioration of the quality of our citizen’s life amidst persistent poverty and widespread corruption. When UNDP first introduced Social Artistry for Governance Capacity Building in 2005, UP-NCPAG was among the institutions which responded to their invitation to participate in the training workshop entitled, “Social Artistry: Decentralizing the Millennium Development Goals” facilitated by Jean Houston. As we prepared for the 2nd National Congress on Good Citizenship (NCGC), convened by the UP-NCPAG, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Good Citizenship Movement (GCM) in 2007, we chose Social Artistry to be a principal focus of the Congress. 1 Constantino, Renato. Identity & Consciousness: The Philippine Experience, Quezon City: Malaya Books, 1974. ii Entitled, “ImagiNation: Art of Nation Building- Promoting Good Citizenship Values to Overcome Poverty and Transform Corruption,” the 2nd NCGC featured plenary talks which elicited imaginings towards a poverty-and corruption- free society,

  • Women in Filipino Religion-Themed Films
    Review of Women’s Studies 20 (1-2): 33-65 WOMEN IN FILIPINO RELIGION-THEMED FILMS Erika Jean Cabanawan Abstract This study looks at four Filipino films—Mga Mata ni Angelita, Himala, Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa, Santa Santita—that are focused on the discourse of religiosity and featured a female protagonist who imbibes the image and role of a female deity. Using a feminist framework, it analyzes the subgenre’s connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God, and the imaging of the Filipino woman in the context of a hybrid religion. The study determines how religion is used in Philippine cinema, and whether or not it promotes enlightenment. The films’ heavy reference to religious and biblical images is also examined as strategies for myth-building. his study looks at the existence of Filipino films that are focused T on the discourse of religiosity, featuring a female protagonist who imbibes the image and assumes the role of a female deity. The films included are Mga Mata ni Angelita (The Eyes of Angelita, 1978, Lauro Pacheco), Himala (Miracle, 1982, Ishmael Bernal), Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa (The Last Virgin, 2002, Joel Lamangan) and Santa Santita (Magdalena, 2004, Laurice Guillen). In the four narratives, the female protagonists eventually incur supernatural powers after a perceived apparition of the Virgin Mary or the image of the Virgin Mary, and incurring stigmata or the wounds of Christ. Using a feminist framework, this paper through textual analysis looks at the Filipino woman in this subgenre, as well as those images’ connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God.

  • Hindi Kami Bulag Sa Kadiliman at Paniniil Ng Panahong Marcos!
    Hindi kami bulag sa kadiliman at paniniil ng panahong Marcos! Pahayag ng mga kasapi ng Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila tungkol sa rehimeng Batas Militar at sa pagbaluktot ni Bongbong Marcos sa kasaysayan 7 Marso 2016 “Ipaubaya natin ang kasaysayan sa mga propesor, sa mga nag-aaral tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Kami hindi namin trabaho yan. Ang trabaho namin ay tingnan kung ano ba ang pangangailangan ng taong bayan ngayon.” – Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos, Jr. Bilang tugon sa hamon ni Ferdinand “Bongbong” Romualdez Marcos, Jr. na dapat husgahan ng mga guro at mag-aaral ng kasaysayan ang administrasyong Marcos, kaming mga nakalagdang kasapi ng komunidad ng Ateneo de Manila ay maigting na tumututol at kumukundena sa patuloy at sadyang pagbaluktot ng ating kasaysayan. Matindi naming ikinalulungkot ang walang-kahihiyang pagtanggi sa pag-ako ng mga krimen ng rehimeng Batas Militar. Hindi namin tinatanggap ang pagbaluktot ng kasaysayan, ang kabaga-bagabag na pananaw sa kinabukasan, at ang mababaw na hamon ng “pagkakaisa” na inihahain ni Marcos, Jr, at ng mga kandidato sa halalan ng 2016 na tulad niyang mag-isip. Malaking naging pinsala sa pag-unlad ng ekonomiya ng bansa ang malaking panlabas ng pangungutang na ginawa ng rehimeng Marcos. Hindi naging interesado ang rehimen sa kaunlaran para sa lahat, pangmatagalang pagpapapatatag sa estado, ni sa tunay na pagbabago ng lipunan, sa kabila ng retorika nito ng “Bagong Lipunan”. Sa halip, higit na pinagtuunan ni Marcos ang pagpapatibay ng paghawak niya ng kapangyarihan sa pamamagitan ng pagpabor sa mga kamag-anak, kaibigan, at iba pa nilang kasabwat. Kaya bumuo lamang si Marcos ng mga bagong naghaharing-uri o mga “oligarch” sa halip na buwagin ang mga ito—ang ibinandila niyang isa sa mga dahilan niya sa pagpapataw ng batas militar.
