To respond to the existing needs of the local Church and to eff ect full unity, “Padulong sa Bug-os nga Paghiliusa” – was the purpose of the Synod. The implementation of its decrees will enable us to follow Christ more avidly and to make His presence more vividly felt in our community. Therefore, in the name of the Holy Trinity, for the spiritual growth of the People of God in the Archdiocese of Jaro, both as individuals and as a Christian community, and after careful study and consideration, I, ANGEL N. LAGDAMEO, in virtue of my authority as Archbishop of Jaro, Hereby approve and promulgate the Decrees of the Third Synod of Jaro, herein contained in this book, as the legiti- mate legislation for the entire Archdiocese. I hereby direct that all clergy, religious, and laity residing within the Archdiocese of Jaro, accept them with ilial respect and be guided by them. 9 DECREE OF PROMULGATION Furthermore, unless otherwise executed or prescribed, the Decrees of this Third Synod of Jaro will become eff ec- tive and binding on the Feast of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, November 17, 2007. I invoke God’s blessing upon us all, that we may live more fully in the bond of charity and build in truth our commu- nity as we continue on our journey “Padulong sa Bug-os nga Paghiliusa.” Given at Jaro, in the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, at the Mass of Holy Chrism, the ifth day of April in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Seven, in the presence of the clergy, religious, and laity of the Archdiocese of Jaro. Most Rev. ANGEL N. LAGDAMEO, D.D. Archbishop of Jaro Rt. Rev. Msgr. HIGINIO C. VELARDE, V.G. Synod Secretary General Rev. Fr. RAMON M. MASCULINO, JR. Executive Secretary 10 ĈęĘ Ĕċ IęčĊA SĞēĔĉ 11 12 Journeying Together from One Jubilee to Another Jubilee Circular Letter No. 18/01/2001 Protocol No. 23/2001 January 7, 2001 DĊĈėĊĊ Ĕċ CĔēěĔĈĆęĎĔē To: The Reverend Clergy, Religious, and Lay Faithful of the Archdiocese of Jaro “Grace and peace be yours from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thes. 1:2). Guided by the star the Magi found the Child Jesus whom they sought. Today we celebrate the Manifestation – the Epiphany of Christ to the Gentiles, to the whole world, to us. The Epiphany is a story of two journeys. In the arduous journey of the Magi to Bethlehem, we see the journey we too must undertake to discover Jesus Christ in the circumstances of our life and to keep alive the gift of Christian faith. In the new path taken by the Magi from Bethlehem, we see the new directions we are called to take as we allow the radical message of Jesus to challenge and revitalize us. This afternoon the mystery of the Epiphany leads us to the veneration of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, the Eucharist, which we brought in procession from St. 13 DECREE OF CONVOCATION Clement’s Church to the Cathedral, symbolic of the journey which we are invited to undertake in the New Millennium. I. CđĔĘĎēČ Ĕċ ęčĊ GėĊĆę JĚćĎđĊĊ Yesterday, with the solemn closing of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica by Pope John Paul II, the celebration of the Jubilee Year 2000 is concluded. The Jubilee indeed has come to a close today, but the “Year of Grace” proclaimed by Jesus of Nazareth continues in the life of the Church and in the personal life of each believer - each one of us. That Holy Door which is marked by the history of our salvation is a symbol of Jesus Christ, our true Door which leads us to our Father in Heaven and to one another in our earthly journey and pilgrimage of faith. Here in the Archdiocese of Jaro as in the whole Church, our celebration of the Great Jubilee includes the journey we have taken in particular during the period of preparation, which we have called The Year of Jesus Christ (1997), the Year of the Holy Spirit (1998), the Year of God the Father (1999). It is dificult to give an appropriate summary of the Calendar of Activities of the Great Jubilee 2000 in just a few lines. For us in the Archdiocese of Jaro, the celebration of the Jubilee of Redemption has taken the perspective of “being Church” which is “one, holy, catholic and apostolic” and of living these “marks” in the “communion of communities” in the Basic Ecclesial Communities. What is the enduring message of the Great Jubilee 2000? The yearlong celebration of the Jubilee is a renewed reminder about the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity as a new presence and a new image of God, as the one Mediator between God and man (AA 4/12), who is “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Heb. 13:8). “Christus heri et hodie. Finis et Principium. Christus Alpha et Omega. Ipsi gloria in saecula!” (Christ yesterday and today. The End and the Beginning. Christ Alpha and Omega. To him be glory forever!) The challenge of the Great Jubilee 2000 must go on - “the strengthening of faith and of the witness 14 DECREE OF CONVOCATION of Christians … a true longing for holiness, a deep desire for conversion and personal renewal” (TMA 42), “towards the new springtime of Christian life” (TMA 18). The “year of grace,” “the year of the Lord’s favor” does not come to an end with the conclusion of the Great Jubilee 2000. Nor do we wait for another Holy Year which is 25 years from now. The year of grace is NOW and everyday. The “fullness of time” is every time we come closer to the Lord through conversion and personal renewal. II. TčĊ GĔđĉĊē JĚćĎđĊĊ Ĕċ ęčĊ AėĈĉĎĔĈĊĘĊ At this point in time, we in the Archdiocese shall maintain the jubilee atmosphere, but on another level. This year 2001 we have an appointment with history. On May 27, 1865 Jaro became a diocese, the ifth oldest diocese in the Philippines (after Manila, Cebu, Nueva Caceres and Nueva Segovia), with Fray Mariano Cuartero, O.P. as the irst Bishop. On June 29, 1951 Jaro was raised to an Archdiocese with Bishop Jose Ma. Cuenco as the irst archbishop. This year is, therefore, another year of grace for the Archdiocese. This year we celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the Archdiocese of Jaro, under the titular patronage of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, whose feast is celebrated on November 17. Celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the Archdiocese has fallen upon our shoulders as a joyful once-in-a-life-time privilege. It shall be a yearlong “thanksgiving” for the blessings of not only the past 50 years, but also of the past 136 years. Our celebration is, therefore, imbued with a threefold movement: irst, glimpsing at the past, we raise our hearts in gratitude for the Gift of Redemption and the Gift of Jubilee; second, grasping and owning our present realities, we off er prayer to God for our Archdiocese that it may experience a NEW PENTECOST; and third, straining towards the future, we prepare ourselves to meet the challenges of the NEW MILLENNIUM and embark on a NEW EVANGELIZATION. In my talk yesterday during our Congress, I highlighted the fact that the Church is essentially Eucharistic and 15 DECREE OF CONVOCATION Missionary. What Christ is, we must strive to be in response to his call “Come, follow me.” By becoming Eucharistic and Missionary, we become what we envision our local church to be: “a communion of communities of disciples of the Lord in pilgrimage of faith.” Our yearlong celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the Archdiocese must derive its theme and programs from the essential character of the Church and of the Basic Ecclesial Communities within the parishes as Eucharistic and Missionary. Who shall be in charge of planning and coordinating the Golden Jubilee Celebration? As we have intimated several times earlier, we are converting and expanding the Jaro Episcopal Commission for PCP-II Implementation (JECPI) into JARO ARCHDIOCESAN PASTORAL COUNCIL.

Rodrigo Duterte and the New Terms of Philippine Populism Nicole Curato Centre for Deliberative Democracy & Global Governance, University of Canberra, Australia ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY This commentary aims to take stock of the 2016 presidential Published online elections in the Philippines that led to the landslide victory of 18 October 2016 ’ the controversial Rodrigo Duterte. It argues that part of Duterte s KEYWORDS ff electoral success is hinged on his e ective deployment of the Populism; Philippines; populist style. Although populism is not new to the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte; elections; Duterte exhibits features of contemporary populism that are befit- democracy ting of an age of communicative abundance. This commentary contrasts Duterte’s political style with other presidential conten- ders, characterises his relationship with the electorate and con- cludes by mapping populism’s democratic and anti-democratic tendencies, which may define the quality of democratic practice in the Philippines in the next six years. The first six months of 2016 were critical moments for Philippine democracy. In February, the nation commemorated the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolution – a series of peaceful mass demonstrations that ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III – the son of the president who replaced the dictator – led the commemoration. He asked Filipinos to remember the atrocities of the authoritarian regime and the gains of democracy restored by his mother. He reminded the country of the torture, murder and disappearance of scores of activists whose families still await compensation from the Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board.

Ibabao The aim of the thesis is to provide a better understanding of the emerging planning practices of urban civil society groups in the Philippines informed by a critique of the current debates in the post-colonial urban planning literature. This thesis is an exploration of urban planning theory in a post-colonial setting that is sufficiently normative to provide guidance to improve planning effectiveness but at the same time, such a theory should also be sufficiently pragmatic to capture the diversity of planning practices in countries such as the Philippines.

  • Lawyers' Litigation Forecasts Play an Integral Role in the Justice System
    History Research, Jan.-Mar., 2015, Vol. 5, No. 1, 28-44 doi: 10.17265/2159-550X/2015.01.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Decolonization of the Filipino Church after Vatican II Terence J. Fay SJ University of St. Michael’s College, Toronto, Canada The second great paradigm shift in the history of the Catholic Church arrived after Vatican II, which ended the lengthy sway of the Greco-Roman Church and led, as Karl Rahner has written, to “the Church actualizing itself precisely as a world Church.” This statement has enormous consequences for the Catholic Church in the Philippines where Vatican II initiated a major paradigm shift. Vatican II decolonized the Latin Spanish church imposed upon the Philippines in the seventeenth century and transformed it into the Catholic Church of the Philippines, that is to say, transformed it into a church deeply rooted in the Filipino soil, language, and culture. Twenty-nine Filipinos chosen by snowball method of selection were interviewed who reported on how they received the teachings of Vatican II on inculturation and equality and were thus decolonized the Catholic Church. Key Words: decolonization, Filipino, Vatican II, liturgy, interreligious contact The Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965 initiated the second major paradigm shift in the Catholic Church. The first major paradigm shift, according to Karl Rahner, was the transition from a Jewish Christian Church after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. to the initiation of the Greco-Roman Church which flourished for almost 1,900 years in many parts of the world.1 The second great paradigm shift in the history of the Catholic Church arrived after Vatican II, which ended the lengthy sway of the Greco-Roman Church and led, as Rahner wrote, to “the Church actualizing itself precisely as a world Church.”2 This last statement has enormous consequences for the Catholic Church, especially in the Philippines where Vatican II also initiated a major paradigm shift.

    2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages 3 City Planning and Development Office i 2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages Message from the Mayor Our beloved Iloilo City has progressively built on its glorious past to usher in a present, which is a source of pride and hope for our people, and an inspiring benchmark for our neighbors in Western Visayas, and beyond. Yet we are not a people who rest on our laurels. We aim higher. We move further. We scale greater heights. We level up. To level up Iloilo City, we begin with the end in mind. We need to envision a future where our city is livable, sustainable and resilient. We aim for a culturally vibrant and economically well-developed city where governance is a shared responsibility and where people are innovative and creative. We dream big, yet we stay realistic. We know that our collective journey as Ilonggos towards our envisioned future has to factor in developments in our external environment. Prudence likewise dictates that our resolve to level-up needs to consider our strengths and weaknesses as a local government unit and as a community. We need to assess our competencies and our resources, particularly our land and its current and future uses, so we are well-informed in determining the best development strategy to level up Iloilo City. I am, therefore, most pleased that we have already crafted the 2021-2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), which is a product of a series of consultations with various sectors.
