  • The American Colonial and Contemporary Traditions
    THE AMERICAN COLONIAL AND CONTEMPORARY TRADITIONS The American tradition in Philippine architecture covers the period from 1898 to the present, and encompasses all architectural styles, such as the European styles, which came into the Philippines during the American colonial period. This tradition is represented by churches, schoolhouses, hospitals, government office buildings, commercial office buildings, department stores, hotels, movie houses, theaters, clubhouses, supermarkets, sports facilities, bridges, malls, and high-rise buildings. New forms of residential architecture emerged in the tsalet, the two-story house, and the Spanish-style house. The contemporary tradition refers to the architecture created by Filipinos from 1946 to the present, which covers public buildings and private commercial buildings, religious structures, and domestic architecture like the bungalow, the one-and-a-half story house, the split-level house, the middle-class housing and the low-cost housing project units, the townhouse and condominium, and least in size but largest in number, the shanty. History The turn of the century brought, in the Philippines, a turn in history. Over three centuries of Spanish rule came to an end, and five decades of American rule began. The independence won by the Philippine Revolution of 1896 was not recognized by Spain, nor by the United States, whose naval and military forces had taken Manila on the pretext of aiding the revolution. In 1898 Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States, and after three years of military rule the Americans established a civil government. With a new regime came a new culture. The English language was introduced and propagated through the newly established public school system.

  • Header & SWEA Speech for Directory 2021
    2021 Philippine Government Directory of Agencies and Ocials Republic of the Philippines Department of Budget and Management Note from the Publisher: The contents of this publication, including the names and positions of the government officials, and contact details, are based on data available as of October 30, 2020 as validated by the agencies, except when updated before the actual publication date. Message Never before has transparency in governance been more critical than it is today, as our way of life, our society, and even how our government operates have been altered by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In these days of uncertainty, how the government communicates information to address the concerns of the citizenry is crucial in building trust in its policies and responses to the global health crisis. This present reality underscores more than ever why the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) continues to publish the Philippine Government Directory of Agencies and Officials. For over three decades, the Directory has served as the people’s gateway to government information and services—from the National, Legislative, and Judicial branches to the local government units and international organizations. With the prevailing health and safety protocols, particularly the observance of physical distancing, the Directory allows for easy, contactless transactions as it provides consolidated and up-to-date contact details of all agencies and officials of the government. An electronic copy of the Directory is available on the DBM website so that the people have freer access to it. We hope that our readers and stakeholders find this latest issue of the Directory to be truly an informative and reliable resource, especially in these trying times.
