BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 Hours)
BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 hours) Eat your way around Binondo, the Philippines’ Chinatown. Located across the Pasig River from the walled city of Intramuros, Binondo was formally established in 1594, and is believed to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants, and given the historic reach of Chinese trading in the Pacific, it has been a hub of Chinese commerce in the Philippines since before the first Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines in 1521. Before World War II, Binondo was the center of the banking and financial community in the Philippines, housing insurance companies, commercial banks and other financial institutions from Britain and the United States. These banks were located mostly along Escólta, which used to be called the "Wall Street of the Philippines". Binondo remains a center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino- Chinese merchants and is famous for its diverse offerings of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy walking around the streets of Binondo, taking in Tsinoy (Chinese-Filipino) history through various Chinese specialties from its small and cozy restaurants. Have a taste of fried Chinese Lumpia, Kuchay Empanada and Misua Guisado at Quick Snack located along Carvajal Street; Kiampong Rice and Peanut Balls at Café Mezzanine; Kuchay Dumplings at Dong Bei Dumplings and the growing famous Beef Kan Pan of Lan Zhou La Mien.

Xinjiang. El Dragón Frente a Su Peor Pesadilla: Terroris- Mo, Separatismo
Capítulo decimotercero Xinjiang. El dragón frente a su peor pesadilla: terroris- mo, separatismo y extremismo Ignacio José García Sánchez «De hecho, la cuestión que China debe afrontar en estos momentos es si el grupo étnico dominante de los han, que constituye más del 90 % de la población china, y que vive en su mayor parte en la zona fértil y originaria de este país, es capaz de mantener bajo control a los tibeta- nos, uigures túrquicos y mongoles del interior, que habitan la periferia, y todo ello con un nivel mínimo de conflictos. El destino final del Estado chino dependerá de este factor, sobre todo, a media que China tenga que afrontar dificultades económicas y sociales»1. Resumen En la tercera edición del Panorama Geopolítico de los Conflictos 20132 se abordaban los desafíos interiores que el gigante geopolítico chino debería afrontar en la persecución del «sueño chino, de un desarrollo pacífico»: – La supervivencia del sistema, con una legitimidad basada en el crédito revolucionario, la superioridad moral de partido y los resultados econó- micos, se ve contestada por una realidad de, todavía, 170 millones de pobres, la corrupción, el nepotismo y las desigualdades sociales. – Las nacionalidades históricas tibetana y uigur, con un fuerte sentimiento religioso y una considerable marginalidad geográfica, se debaten entre la singularidad cultural o la homogeneización colonizadora de la mayoría Han. 1 KAPLAN, Robert D., «La venganza de la geografía.

US forces in the region are “ready to go”, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said, as Washington and its European and Middle Eastern partners honed plans to punish Assad for a major poison gas attack last week that killed hundreds of civilians. Several sources who attended a meeting in Istanbul on Monday between Syrian opposition leaders and diplomats from Washington and other governments said that the rebels were told to expect military action and to get ready to negotiate a peace. “The opposition was told in clear terms that action to deter further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime could come as early as in the next few days, and that they should still prepare for peace talks at Geneva,” one of the sources said. Ahmad Jarba, president of the Syrian National Coalition, met envoys from 11 states in the Friends of Syria group, including Robert Ford, the US ambassador to Syria, at an Istanbul hotel. United Nations chemical weapons investigators, who finally crossed the frontline to take samples on Monday, put off a second trip to rebel-held suburbs of Damascus. -

Chua / Hamon at Tugon / Bersyong 13 Abril 2013 1 HAMON AT TUGON Conquista at Reaksyon ng Bayan Tungo sa Pambansang Himagsikan * (1571-1913) Michael Charleston “Xiao” B. Chua Pamantasang De La Salle Maynila Maikling Paglalarawan ng Paksa ng Modyul-Gabay: Nakaugalian nang ilahad ang kasaysayan ng kolonyalismo sa pananaw ng mga opisyal na dokumento ng mga dayuhan at mga kolonyalistang sanaysay na nagpatibay ng kolonyal na mentalidad ng Pilipino na ang Kanluran ay laging daluyan ng ginhawa. Liban pa sa nawalan na ng saysay ang nakaraang ito sa maraming Pilipino dahil hindi nito talaga nasalamin ang kanilang kamalayan. Ang Nasyunalistang Kasaysayan ni Agoncillo, na lalong pinaunlad at pinagpapatuloy ng Pantayong Pananaw, ang nagbukas ng daan na lalong maintindihan ang kasaysayan sa pananaw ng mga Pilipino sa nakalipas na mga taon. Ayon kay Zeus A. Salazar at sa iba pang tagapagtaguyod ng Pantayog Pananaw, ang Kasaysayan ay “salaysay na may saysay para sa sinasalaysayang grupo ng tao.” Sa paglalahad ng kwento mula sa pananaw ng mga lider tungo sa pananaw ng mga namumuhay ng kalinangan—ang mga mamamayan, nais ng module na ito na ipakita ang pag-unlad ng kapuluan mula sa iba’t ibang bayan tungo sa pagiging isang bansa. Ang karanasan ng Conquista at pakikibaka ang nagbuo sa bayan tungo sa kamalayang pambansa, na ang magiging katuparan ay ang Himagsikang Pilipino ng 1896. Sa kasamaang palad, dahil sa Dambuhalang Pagkakahating Pangkalinangan, nagkaroon din ng tunggalian sa loob ng bansa, kaya naman hindi pa rin natatapos ang gawain ng pagbubuo nito tungo sa tunay na kaginhawaan ng mga Pilipino.
