    Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration

    Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu.
  • Agrarian Reform and the Difficult Road to Peace in the Philippine Countryside

    Agrarian Reform and the Difficult Road to Peace in the Philippine Countryside

    Report December 2015 Agrarian reform and the difficult road to peace in the Philippine countryside By Danilo T. Carranza Executive summary Agrarian reform and conflict in the rural areas of the Philippines are closely intertwined. The weak government implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, inherent loopholes in the law, strong landowner resistance, weak farmers’ organisations, and the continuing espousal by the New People’s Army of its own agrarian revolution combine to make the government’s agrarian reform programme only partially successful in breaking up land monopolies. This is why poverty is still pronounced in many rural areas. The rise of an agrarian reform movement has significantly contributed to the partial success of the government’s agrarian reform programme. But the government has not been able to tap the full potential of this movement to push for faster and more meaningful agrarian reform. The agrarian reform dynamics between pro- and anti-agrarian reform actors create social tensions that often lead to violence, of which land-rights claimants are often the victims. This is exacerbated and in many ways encouraged by the government’s failure to fulfil its obligation to protect the basic human rights of land-rights claimants. This report outlines the pace and direction of agrarian reform in the Philippines and its role in fighting poverty and promoting peace in rural areas. It emphasises the importance of reform-oriented peasant movements and more effective government implementation to the success of agrarian reform. The report also asserts the need for the government and the armed left to respect human rights and international humanitarian law in promoting the full participation of land-rights claimants in shaping and crafting public policy around land rights.

    Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora De La Paz Y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-Century Manila Ma

    Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-century Manila Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre Eres mi Madre, plácida Maria; Tú mi vida serás, mi fortaleza; Tú en este fiero mar serás mi guia. -Jose Rizal A la Virgen María, 1880 The Philippine rites of Mary are many and varied, each with its own unique character and homegrown tradition. These range from solemn novena to ecstatic procession, quaint poem-and-flower offering to lilting song and dance, arduous pilgrimage to carefree fiesta. These may take place on land or river, country shrine or city basilica, small community inroad or wide, expansive boulevard. But all are marked by a massive outpouring of affection and tenderness. The cult of Mary in the Philippines has grown from simple folk expression in early times to an imposing display of organized faith in the colonial era, backed by the Church itself and the cabildo or city government (Summers 1998 204), and in more recent times, propped up by a network of wealthy patrons, schools, commercial establishments, and an assortment of civic, artistic and religious organizations. For a people who call themselves in a Marian hymn, “un pueblo amante de María” (a people who love Mary), and who address Mary as “Mama” in such familial terms, these rites represent distinct personal relationships with the Mother of God, hence the variety of expression. This paper focuses on Our Lady of Antipolo, one of the most popular and historic shrines in the country. Our Lady of Antipolo Antipolo is a small town southeast of Manila, situated on a foothill of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Luzon.

    IOER INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH JOURNAL, VOL. 1, NO. 3, SEPT., 2019 REINFORCEMENT MECHANISM FOR QUALITY WORK LIFE: A CASE OF ELEMENTARY TEACHERS IN QUEZON PROVINCE, PHILIPPINES LUCENA AGUIFLOR RENGEL GARCIA1, ERNESTO C. MANDIGMA JR.2 http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3480-05621, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1721-00262 [email protected], [email protected] Department of Education, Quezon, Philippines1, Batangas State University, Batangas City, Philippines2 ABSTRACT The total success of education depends on the quality workforce equipped with high-quality standard, competence, and excellence. Supervisors, principals, school heads and teachers all work in synergy to ensure pupils get the best education. This study aimed to determine the job satisfaction and quality of work-life of public elementary teachers in Quezon Province, Philippines, with the end view of proposing reinforcement mechanisms. This covered the demographic profile of respondents in relation to age, gender, civil status, educational attainment, and length of service; assessment on their job satisfaction in terms of teaching assignment, designation, promotion, training, and fringe benefits and quality of work-life with regard to work environment, interpersonal skills, professional relationship, and time management. Likewise, this looked into the significant difference in the assessment of respondents on job satisfaction and quality of work life. Descriptive method of research was used with questionnaire as its main tool in gathering data complemented with unstructured interview. The statistical tools used in the analysis of data were percentage, weighted mean, and t-test. Results revealed that majority of teachers are 29 years old and below, female, married, and have bachelor’s degree, with five years and below in service.
