Language, translation and the localization of philosophical ideas and streams emerge as recurring key issues, as do politics and religion. Chapter One is a preparatory reflection on how the philosophical preoccupation in the Philippines has been, in the context of nationalism, one of a search for roots, revealing a feeling of exile, which is here not merely the unhappy consequence of colonial experience, but the existential human condition of always moving between the self and the foreign. In Chapter Two, the journey through the landscape of Filipino philosophy starts from—but never quite leaves behind—the author’s teacher, Father Ferriols, S.J. The chapter discusses his involvement in the 1960s Filipinization movement in the Ateneo de Manila University, situating the event in a broader historical context, but equally showing how his position, inspired by theological and philosophical precepts, was an attempt to challenge and overcome the limits of political thinking. In Chapter Three, the great journey of exploration takes us to a different world, all the way across the street to the University of Philippines, in order to glimpse the struggle, between liberalism and conservative forces of Catholic thinking. Here, the focus is on the outspoken logical positivist Ricardo Pascual, whose philosophy and politics contrast starkly with the theologically-inspired thinking of Ferriols. While Chapters Two and Three are focused explorations, primarily on events in the 1950s and 1960s, Chapter Four takes a broader view, expressing the desires and frustrations of philosophers in their search for Filipino philosophy, a long-standing preoccupation, which began in the 1970s and continues to persist until the present. My aim here is to unravel the hopes and fetishes that have led to the idealization of the Western philosophical, resulting to an undervaluation of the work and efforts of fellow philosophers. In further exploring philosophical discourse in the Philippines, Chapter v Five focuses on the work of philosophers who have sought to expose and go beyond the limits of the Western philosophical tradition. But despite their critical spirit, I argue that a certain form of humanism has continued to delimit their thinking. To bring out these antinomies, I juxtapose their ideas to those of social scientists who have equally concerned themselves with the fate of the philosophical discipline in the country, critiquing the essentializing and universalizing tendencies of philosophical concepts. In doing so, I present the contributions of the social sciences as an important critique of the philosophical discipline. Finaly, the Epilogue ventures (further) beyond academic philosophy, its distinctions, assumptions, and desires, not only to suggest possibilities for further research into Filipino thought and ways of going beyond its limits and prejudices, but also to remind ourselves of a larger world of thought, within which (Filipino) philosophy is located. vi List of Illustrations Illustration 1 Emmanuel Lacaba’s article on Ferriols, published in 52 The Guidon, on October 16 1968.

Seeing that his advice was not getting through, he once chastised me for writing in a vacuum. Anyone would have been easily jolted by that comment, but I was too confident that I was only doing what was expected of a philosophy thesis. My intention was simple: to present a clear and comprehensive exposition of ideas. I could not see how a philosophy thesis could or why it should be more than that. After all, this was how scholarship was often practiced in the Ateneo Philosophy department. It was only long after I passed my thesis that my supervisor’s words began to haunt me. I began to doubt the relevance of my own writing, and what I regarded as the norm suddenly appeared strange. In a discipline that underscores the importance of thinking, how did exposition become, with no discussion or explanation, the “stuff” of philosophical research? And if philosophy were a reflection of one’s context and lived experience, as my Ateneo philosophy teachers coming from an existential phenomenological tradition claim, then why has scholarship been more often than not a mere description of ideas and theory? Dissatisfied with philosophy and the disconnectedness it fostered in my own thinking, I decided to seek out a kind of scholarship that would demand, beyond the reflection of dis-embodied ideas, a more palpable engagement with the world. It was then that, instead of taking a doctorate in Philosophy, in Europe, and on a Western philosopher as I had initially planned, I decided to pursue Southeast Asian Studies, in Southeast Asia, and under the supervision of a Filipino historian.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Reflections on Agoncilloʼs the Revolt of the Masses and the Politics of History
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 3, December 2011 Reflections on Agoncilloʼs The Revolt of the Masses and the Politics of History Reynaldo C. ILETO* Abstract Teodoro Agoncilloʼs classic work on Andres Bonifacio and the Katipunan revolt of 1896 is framed by the tumultuous events of the 1940s such as the Japanese occupation, nominal independence in 1943, Liberation, independence from the United States, and the onset of the Cold War. Was independence in 1946 really a culmination of the revolution of 1896? Was the revolution spearheaded by the Communist-led Huk movement legitimate? Agoncilloʼs book was written in 1947 in order to hook the present onto the past. The 1890s themes of exploitation and betrayal by the propertied class, the rise of a plebeian leader, and the revolt of the masses against Spain, are implicitly being played out in the late 1940s. The politics of hooking the present onto past events and heroic figures led to the prize-winning manuscriptʼs suppression from 1948 to 1955. Finally seeing print in 1956, it provided a novel and timely reading of Bonifacio at a time when Rizalʼs legacy was being debated in the Senate and as the Church hierarchy, priests, intellectuals, students, and even general public were getting caught up in heated controversies over national heroes. The circumstances of how Agoncilloʼs work came to the attention of the author in the 1960s are also discussed. Keywords: Philippine Revolution, Andres Bonifacio, Katipunan society, Cold War, Japanese occupation, Huk rebellion, Teodoro Agoncillo, Oliver Wolters Teodoro Agoncilloʼs The Revolt of the Masses: The Story of Bonifacio and the Katipunan is one of the most influential books on Philippine history.

  • Colonial Contractions: the Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946
    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

  • The Oblation Ritualized
    From the Sacred to the Profane: The Oblation Ritualized FROM THE SACRED TO THE PROFANE: THE OBLATION RITUALIZED Reuben Ramas Cañete ABSTRACT The study approaches the historical construction of the narratives surrounding the statue titled Oblation, deemed as the symbol of the University of the Philippines (UP), from the theoretical perspective of Eric Hobsbawn’s notion of “invented traditions,” as well as Judith Butler’s theory of performativity. The study looks at the genesis of this narrative as informed by the anti-colonial struggle of the late-19th and early 20th century, but amplified and “sacralised” through the symbolic power of the UP Presidency, particularly under Jorge C. Bocobo (1935-1939) under whose auspices the Oblation was erected on November 30, 1935. The study also foregrounds the key term “Sacrificial Body” as a determinant of the Oblation’s narrational focus of itself as subject, and its function as idealized model or template to be “followed” by the UP community. The ambivalence of this narrative, however, is central to the production of contradicting discourses throughout its history, from the “sacred” Pre-War image akin to a secular Crucifixion upon which rituals supervised by a “priesthood” composed of the University’s officials were enacted; to the Post- War secular (and thus “profane”) image of the Oblation as that “representing academic freedom” from the viewpoint of its progressive student body and faculty. The common assertion of a sacrificial representation of anti-colonial struggle, however, is intuited by

  • On Lav Diaz‟S a Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery
    ―Textual Mobilities: Diaspora, Migration, Transnationalism and Multiculturalism‖ | Lullaby of Diasporic Time: On Lav Diaz‟s A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery Christian Jil R. Benitez Ateneo de Manila University Philippines [email protected] Abstract Lav Diaz is a Filipino independent filmmaker notable as a key figure in the contemporary slow cinema movement. Of his oeuvre, one of the longest is A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (Filipino: Hele sa Higawang Hapis), a 2016 epic film that runs for 8 hours, orchestrating narratives derived from what are conveniently sung as mythology (i.e., Jose Rizal‘s El filibusterismo and Philippine folklore) and history (i.e., Philippine history and artifacts). The movie competed in the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Alfred Bauer Prize. This success has earned Diaz‘s the spotlight in the Filipino mainstream culture, enabling the film to be distributed to and showcased in mainstream platforms, albeit primarily garnering attention from the Filipino audience for its runtime and international attention. The movement of the film, as a text, from the local Philippines toward the international and returning home, incurs in it a textuality that disrupts the phenomenology of time diasporically, scatteringly: that as much as its 8-hour languor ―opens new perspective in the cinematic arts‖ according to the international rendition of this time, it is also the 8-hour whose value in the Philippine time is that of a day‘s labor, and thus the exoticization of its cinematic experience as a ―challenge,‖ having to endure an entire working day of slow cinematography. This diaspora of time is of no cacophony; on the contrary, it is the lullaby, sorrowful and mysterious, that finally slows Diaz in to become a filmmaker attuned to both the spaces of the local and the international.
