RAYMUNDO Center for International Studies, University of the Philippines Appendices 273 iv MESSAGE Greetings from the Korea Foundation On behalf of the Korea Foundation, it is my great honor and pleasure to extend our heartiest welcome to the participants of the 2013 Philippine Korean Studies Symposium. I would like to express my special appreciation to the University of the Philippines-Diliman in that this symposium, which was also launched last year, holds its second year event to the display of increased interest by Korea-related research specialists in the Philippines. Above all, the Korea Foundation strives to enhance awareness and understanding of Korea throughout the world and to foster cooperative relations in the international community. Since our establishment, the promotion of Korean Studies has been at the core of the Foundation’s efforts to implement a broad spectrum of programs and activities in order to build an infrastructure upon which we could realize collaborative relations with prominent academic institutions, such as the University of the Philippines-Diliman. Of note, the Korea Foundation has been greatly encouraged by the Philippine’s fast-growing interest in Korea and the robust demand for Korean language education here. It was readily evident when hundreds of students and scholars attended and showed the great interests in Korea at the special lecture series of the Korea Foundation at the University of the Philippines and Ateneo de Manila University in August 2013. In this context, the 2013 Philippine Korean Studies Symposium, which is entitled “Trending Now: Emerging Issues in Korean Studies,” is undoubtedly a most timely and significant gathering to promote the bilateral exchange of ideas and recent developments among the participants, which will lead to broadening the scope of Korean Studies scholarship in the Philippines and thus to further upgrading the standing of Korean Studies in the Philippines. Finally, I would like to express my personal appreciation to Prof. Cynthia Neri Zayas, Director of Center for International Studies at the University of the Philippines-Diliman, and relevant staff members whose earnest efforts and thoughtful preparations have made possible this meaningful occasion. Hyun-seok Yu President The Korea Foundation v MESSAGE I am delighted to be here today, and honored to be in the company of great minds with laudable intentions. The venue could not have been more appropriate. Since its establishment over a century ago, the University of the Philippines has been the bastion of learning, the foundry of leaders. Since this is a day where many personalities will be speaking, I will keep this short. First, I would like to congratulate the institutions involved for making this symposium possible, namely, the UP Center for International Studies, The UP Asian Center, the Korea Foundation, and the Korean Cultural Center. I am proud to represent our government and its embassy here as we take part in this notable endeavor. Secondly, I believe that much can be achieved when people with unity of purpose act as one. This is one such moment. Without doubt, the objectives of this affair will bring Korean studies to the fore, with the University of the Philippines taking the lead, as it should. Finally, needless to say considering the fine lineup of speakers and organizers, I wish you all a successful symposium. We could expect nothing less. Maraming salamat po! H.E. Hyuk Lee Ambassador Embbasy of the Republic of Korea in the Philippines vi MESSAGE Good afternoon to all. We are happy to inform you that we went beyond the 200 expected participants for this conference. On the first day, we registered 236 attendees. The participants came from Miriam College, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, De La Salle University, UP Manila, New Era University, Ateneo de Manila University, University of Sto. Tomas, and of course the Korean Cultural Center. As you know, the UP Center for International Studies has been promoting Korean Studies by encouraging students to participate in Korean-related activities and to enroll in our Korean Studies course. Thank you very much for coming here and we wish that you would come in the next conference or workshop. It has been a pleasure to have you here. I would like to pose a challenge because this will be a continuing meeting of students, faculties, staff and the public interested in Korean culture and society. Professor Djunkil Kim has told us that language is the key. If you want to study another culture, you have to communicate with the people in their own language. How nice would it be for you to visit Korea briefly and be able to practice what you have learned in the Philippines. While studying the language, another way to enter their culture is by way of the various institutions that the Korean people have brought here to our country. For instance, English language schools run by Koreans abound, Korean stores and churches are here as well. Philippine-Korean associations are also active in promoting exchange between two peoples. Students and researchers, you do not need to travel to Korea for now to undertake a study about its people and culture. Here in the Philippines, surrounding UP Diliman, there is a thriving community. Perhaps after a year or two, you may embark on a field work in Korea with confidence after knowing Korean culture and society from your own original field work in the Philippines. On behalf of the Center for International Studies, Asian Center, the Korean Cultural Center, the Korean Foundation, we would like to thank everybody for their attendance. 감사합니다 sa inyong lahat!

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • A Theological Analysis of the Non-Church Movement in Korea with a Special Reference to the Formation of Its Spirituality
    A THEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NON-CHURCH MOVEMENT IN KOREA WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE FORMATION OF ITS SPIRITUALITY by SUN CHAE HWANG A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham June 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This study provides a new theological approach for interpreting the Non- Church Movement (NCM) in Korea. Previous studies have been written from a historical perspective. Therefore, an examination of the spirituality and characteristics of the NCM from a theological standpoint is a new approach. The present study investigates the connection between the NCM and Confucianism. It attempts to highlight the influence of Confucian spirituality on the NCM, in particular the Confucian tradition of learning. It also examines the link between the NCM and Quakerism, in particular the influence of Quaker ecclesiology on the NCM. This too has not been examined in previous studies. The thesis argues that the theological roots of NCM ecclesiology lie in the relatively flat ecclesiology of the Quaker movement in the USA.

  • The Virtues of Federalism
    SOME ADVANTAGES OF FEDERALISM AND PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT FOR THE PHILIPPINES Jose V. Abueva U.P. Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Public Administration, Chairman of the CMFP Advisory Board, and President of Kalayaan College I. With EDSA 1 we restored an outmoded form of democracy. In the peaceful “people power” revolt from February 22 to 25, 1986, tens of thousands of unarmed Filipinos gathered to defend a small but swelling band of military rebels at the military and police headquarters along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue that cuts through Metro Manila from North to South. United in their cry for “Justice, Freedom and Democracy,” they peacefully immobilized the armed forces of the 13-year Marcos dictatorship. On the fourth day they banished the dictator into exile. Amazed at our extraordinary feat, the world applauded. Some oppressed peoples in Eastern Europe and Asia took heart and followed our example to liberate themselves from tyranny. In January 2001, not only at EDSA in Metro Manila but also in many cities, citizens gathered and employed “people power” once more to bring down a president who was perceived to be abusive and corrupt. Aggrieved citizens felt good once again but “people power” alone could not bring us what we really need as a developing nation and democracy. The restoration of free elections and formal democracy under the 1987 Constitution has not empowered citizens to check or mitigate our pervasive problems of mass poverty, unemployment, corruption, social inequality, injustice, rebellion, and the environment. Underdevelopment and population still force legions of Filipinos to migrate as our country lags farther behind our advanced neighbors in the region.

  • A TRIBUTE in LOVING MEMORY Irina Diana Tarabac
    A TRIBUTE IN LOVING MEMORY Irina Diana Tarabac (1970-2007) Irina Diana Tarabac dedicated her life to learning, teaching, and science – the field of her choice being linguistics. Among many brilliant scholars and scientists in the Linguistics Department at Stony Brook University, Irina stood out for many a reasons. Unfortunately, Irina left us too early in October 2007. After arriving to study at Stony Brook at 2002, Irina became an active member of the linguistic community in the metropolitan area of New York. She frequently attended seminars in the Linguistics Departments of NYU and the CUNY Graduate Center. Irina was dedicated to life-long learning, and she set extremely high standards for herself, her own research and her teaching responsibilities. She taught a morphology seminar in Bucharest and served as a TA for classes on many different topics at Stony Brook, including syntax, morphology, language philosophy, phonology, typology, and Semitic languages. She was a wonderful teacher and was very concerned about her students. Her dedication to linguistics didn’t leave her much time to pursue her hobbies, but whenever Irina found some time off, she enjoyed listening to symphonic music, reading good literature, visiting museums, and spending time with her friends. Irina earned a Master’s degree in Bucharest, Romania in 1996 and had studied and conducted research in the Netherlands between 1997 and 1999. Irina conducted research on well-known languages such as Dutch, Romanian, and Modern Greek as well as less-known languages such as Rapanui and Burushaki. Irina’s passing is a great loss to her family, her friends and the field of linguistics.
