He emphasized the importance of improving council processes so that PSSC can serve the social science community efficiently. Dr. Bernardo acknowledged the efforts of the Membership Committee to monitor the members’ performance as well as to ensure that members are always actively involved in Council activities. He thanked the Research Committee for reviewing the Research Award Program (RAP) applications for 2011, of which four individuals—two MA students and two PhD students—were selected.

Dr. Bernardo noted that PSSC was also active in knowledge-dissemination activities. PSSC organized two fora in 2011. The first forum revisited the surveys/ polls conducted by the Social Weather Stations in 2010 and the second was a roundtable discussion on the proposed K to 12 Basic Education Program. PSSC also supported the conferences of the nine regular member-organizations which qualified for and sought conference assistance. For publications, Dr. Bernardo informed the body that PSSC is getting ready to publish the Philippine Social Science Report.

Dr. Bernardo updated the body on the special projects being administered by the Council. These include the Digitization of Social Science Publications Project in partnership with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Digitization of Works of Pioneers in the Philippine Social Sciences in partnership with the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM). PSSC also continued to implement two fellowship programs: the Philippine Center for Population and Development (PCPD) Graduate Fellowship and Research Grant Program and the Ford Foundation-International Fellowships Program (FF-IFP). The PCPD program had its final selection in 2011. PCPD graduate fellowships were awarded to five individuals while PCPD research grants were awarded to four graduate students. PSSC has also begun winding up activities of the FF-IFP which will formally end in 2012. PSSC also continued to assist the Philippine Migration Research Network (PMRN) in its revitalization efforts and other activities. PMRN was able to organize two fora with the support from the UNACOM.

    Sharon's Noranian Turn: Stardom, Embodiment, and Language in Philippine Cinema Bliss Cua Lim Discourse, Volume 31, Number 3, Fall 2009, pp. 318-358 (Article) Published by Wayne State University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/dis/summary/v031/31.3.lim01.html Access Provided by University of California @ Irvine at 11/09/10 7:10PM GMT Sharon’s Noranian Turn: Stardom, Embodiment, and Language in Philippine Cinema Bliss Cua Lim Writing in 1965 under the pseudonym Quijano de Manila, National Artist Nick Joaquin vividly describes an era when the decline of the great Philippine film studios spawned an unbridled “star system still in apogee.” In the 1960s, star worship fuels the popular cinema and feeds “the avarice of the independent producer.” The middle- class lament that mainstream Filipino movies are hardly “quality” pictures, Joaquin writes impatiently, misses the point: “The movie fans crowd to a local movie not because they expect a sensible story or expert acting or even good entertainment”; instead, they go to the movies to see the stars they adore—action film kings Fernando Poe Jr. and Joseph Estrada, glamour goddesses Amalia Fuentes and Susan Roces. “Our movie idols remain idolized, whatever the quality of their vehicles, as long as they remain impossibly young, impossibly glamorous, impossibly beautiful”1 (figure 1). This is a form of star worship that, in its emphasis on an unrealizable world, ends by preventing audience identification. The spectatorial plea- sures offered by the star system of the early to mid-1960s, Joaquin argues, are not driven by identification but by wonder, idolatry practiced from afar.

  • Oppositional Retelling “Social History Does Not Only Reflect Public Interest, It Also Prefigures and Perhaps Helps to Create It,” Wrote Raphael Samuel
    Reviews REVIEW B O O K Days of Disquiet, Nights of Rage: The First Quarter Storm and Related Events by Jose F. Lacaba Ma. Theresa Angelina Q. Tabada University of the Philippines Cebu Days of Disquiet, Nights of Rage: The First Quarter Storm and Related Events by Jose F. Lacaba narrates a brief but tumultuous period in the country not with the dispassionate butnitpicking scholarship of a traditional historian but with the eyewitness color, emotional involvement, and self-reflexivity of a chronicler whose rebellion supports the overthrow of an authoritarian regime and the sham objectivity of traditional journalism. First published in 1982, the book compiles the essays written by Lacaba and published in the Philippines Free Press and the Asia-Philippines Leader. The coverage and publication of the essays spanned the close of the decade of the 1960s and the first quarter of the year 1970.One of the events foreshadowing the declaration by President Ferdinand Marcos of martial law in 1972 was the violent clashes in Manila, pitting the police and the military against students, workers, and other members of militant organizations. This period in Philippine history is known as the First Quarter Storm. The history of the street protests denouncing the Marcos administration and the interventions of the US government in the affairs of the country and other Asian countries such as Vietnam are viewed through the lens of a young journalist and activist, Jose Maria Flores Lacaba Jr. Oppositional retelling “Social history does not only reflect public interest, it also prefigures and perhaps helps to create it,” wrote Raphael Samuel.

  • A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Philippine English (PE) in Student Publication Editorials
    A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Philippine English (PE) in Student Publication Editorials DAPHNE RASHID TADEO Researcher Master of Arts in Education Major in English March 2012 Mylene A. Manalansan, MAED Adviser Abstract Qualitative in nature, this research is centered on corpus linguistic analysis of Philippine English (PE) in selected student publication editorials in Pampanga. The corpus of the editorials was carefully analyzed to determine if Kapampangan student authors have an awareness of the Philippine English variety and whether the patterns and features of this variety used in the editorials are acceptable or not. A total of 27 student publications were collated within 2007 to 2011. Text analysis was used with the aid of triangulation method to validate the use and acceptability of PE features. Validation was done through the use of (1) the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language, an electronic dictionary, (2) the Webster’s unabridged dictionary of the English Language and (3) the Macquarie International Dictionary, a compendium of acceptable Philippine English terms to guarantee if realized terms are acceptable or not. School publications were coded, possible PE terms were extracted, and subsequently analyzed using the two aforementioned Standard English language dictionaries as bases for Standard American English dictionaries (SAE).The extracted terms were then categorized under lexicon and their morphological processes, and syntax (code-mixing and code-switching). The same were presented in their original sentence form providing explanations as regards their usage in the editorials. Non-existent extracted terms in SAE dictionaries were then verified using the PE dictionary to determine whether they are part of the accepted PE features or not.
