The Filipino People Seethe with Anger and Discontent May - August 2013 Released by KARAPATAN (Alliance for the Advancement of People’s Rights) he Filipino people seethe with anger and discontent. TThe protest actions that followed the exposé on the PhP10-billion pork barrel scam sent the Aquino government scampering for ways to dissipate the people’s anger, but only in ways that Benigno Simeon Aquino III and the bureaucrats in his government can continue to feast on the pork and drown themselves in pork fat. The people’s anger is not only directed at the 10 billion-peso scam but also against the corruption that goes on with impunity under BS Aquino, who ironically won under an anti-corruption slogan “kung walang kurap, walang mahirap”. The Aquino government could no longer pretend to be clean before the Filipino people. PINOY WEEKLY Neither can it boast of improving the poor people’s lives.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

Abstract This paper contributes to the scant body of literature on inequalities among and within ethnic groups in the Philippines by examining both the vertical and horizontal measures in terms of opportunities in accessing basic services such as education, electricity, safe water, and sanitation. The study also provides a glimpse of the patterns of inequality in Mindanao. The results show that there are significant inequalities in opportunities in accessing basic services within and among ethnic groups in the Philippines.

    68 MIGRANT MUSLIM COMMUNITIES IN MANILA Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies 2007 22 (2): 68-96 The Formation of Migrant Muslim Communities in Metro Manila AKIKO WATANABE ABSTRACT. The paper examines the formation of migrant Muslim communities in Metro Manila set against the Philippine government’s changing policies toward the Muslim Filipinos in Mindanao at the turn of the twenty-first century. The Muslim Filipinos’ migration to Metro Manila has been steered by kin and ethnic relations and religious tolerance. This, in turn, resulted in ethnic and economic stratifications in and among the migrant Muslim communities in Metro Manila. The paper analyzes these communities and the dynamics that structure Muslim Filipinos’ spatial movements in and around Metro Manila. KEYWORDS. Muslim Filipinos · migration · Metro Manila · communities INTRODUCTION This paper examines the formation of Muslim communities in Metro Manila1 in relation to the changing government policies toward Muslim Filipinos in Mindanao at the turn of the twenty-first century. It typifies and analyzes the various communities that have emerged in the area and the dynamics that structure Muslim Filipinos’ spatial movements. Muslims in the Philippines, also known as Moros,2 are part of thirteen ethnolinguistic groups, each with a home region in parts of Mindanao and Sulu described as the Muslim South. These areas have 3.5-4.0 million Muslim inhabitants, making up nearly 5-10 percent of the total national population. 3 The formation of migrant Muslim Filipino communities outside Mindanao has deep historical roots that became more pronounced with the armed conflict in Mindanao and Sulu in the late 1960s.

    PANDEMIC, RESILIENCE, AND THE ARTS The 14th De La Salle University Arts Congress March 11-12, 2021 Traslacion @ Roblox: The Pandemic and The Emergence of A Virtual Black Nazarene Sacred Space Jose Alain Austria School of Multidisciplinary Studies De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde Abstract: The current corona pandemic left the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene with no other choice but to cancel this year’s Traslacion, the most prominent ritual- performance of the annual January 9 feast. In response, a group called El Cofrade RBLX created RO Traslacion 2021, an interactive Roblox game that simulates the mammoth January 9 procession. Designed primarily as an on-line educational tool for young Catholics, many of the participants saw RO Traslacion 2021 as an alternative Quiapo, a digital sacred space where they can express their adrenalin-filled devotion to the Black Christ. The six-hour online game was generally well-received by religious authorities and mainstream media outlets, both praising its well-defined catechetical component, the amount of research and create work involved, and the novelty of providing an alternative sacred space for devotees. Keywords: Black Nazarene, Roblox, corona virus pandemic, sacred spaces, popular devotion Introduction It is said that necessity is the mother of invention. A year into this pandemic, one cannot There are several forms of devotion to the help but marvel at the outburst of creativity despite miraculous Black Nazarene of Quiapo, but it is the our quarantined existence.
