  • 193 Cassava Breeding and Varietal Dissemination In
    193 CASSAVA BREEDING AND VARIETAL DISSEMINATION IN THE PHILIPPINES - MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE PAST 20 YEARS Algerico M. Mariscal1, Reynaldo V. Bergantin1 and Anita D. Troyo1 ASTRACT During the past 20 years of close collaboration with CIAT in the cassava breeding program in the Philippines, much has been achieved, not only in terms of human capacity building but also in the acquisition of improved cassava germplasm. These materials were used in a multy-year selection scheme, which culminated in the release of several improved cassava varieties recommended for cultivation in the country, in order to support the need for food, feed and various industrial products. Since 1982 a total of 40,809 cassava hybrid seeds were received from CIAT headquarters in Colombia and 11,280 hybrid seeds rom the Thai-CIAT cassava program. These were evaluated in all stages of selection under Philippine conditions. Three cassava varieties were released by the Center during the early years of establishment and 16 varieties were subsequently released by the National Seed Industry Council. From these released varieties, six are of local origin, eight are from CIAT materials and five from locally developed hybrids. Progress in the selection of the materials received has been quite positive, meaning that a lot of the elite genetic materials introduced were selected for possible varietal release or as parental material for the breeding program. Considering the source of the two genetic populations we received, it was noted that hybrid seeds from Thailand performed very well in the Philippines; in fact, some of the elite materials have superior characteristics compared to the best Philippine varieties.

  • Kepemimpinan Tradisional Masyarakat Minangkabau Pada Masa Pendudukan Jepang ======Oleh: Siti Fatimah
    Kepemimpinan Tradisional Masyarakat Minangkabau pada Masa Pendudukan Jepang ================================================= Oleh: Siti Fatimah ABSTARCT As an ethnic group Minangkabau people was influenced by many conditions developed around them, like scio-cultural, value system they had, beliefs and religious, and status and roles they played. Based on those conditions, Minangkabau people has been well- known with their unique community structure and leadership pattern in the past. This condition had been running in harmony until the coming of Japanese colonialism in 1943. This pattern of leadership had been changed and tended to be disfunctional. In their colonialism era, Japanese tried to use the Tungku Tigo Sajarangan (the pattern of Minangkabau traditional leadership) as a tool for maintaining their power over Minangkabau colony.

  • Social Inequality in Urban Philippines
    Social Inequality in Urban Philippines Robert Fletcher Manlove Dr. Rico Medina was an important citizen of the city of Ozamiz. He was the son of a family whose roots extended back into Spanish times, whose male members had held the reins of power in city government, and whose ownership of a teaching hospital and coconut lands determined the economic destiny of many people. He held a medical degree but practiced little medicine, his time being devoted to the economic pursuits of his family. He granted me an interview one morning as he practiced his golf swing on a piece of land that he had dedicated to be a new golf course. One of the men who worked for his family ran around chasing the golf balls as he drove one after the other down the new fairway. I told him that I was writing about social inequality in the Philippines and he reacted with condescension. Social and economic differences between families, he told me, were not only a fact of life but the natural order of a society. He had recently visited the United States and he wanted to tell me that, although he had enjoyed his visit, he was glad to be back in the Philippines. In the United States, he said, there was a lack of respect and deference for upper class people. There were few housemaids or helpers or cooks and, if you want to go somewhere, you have to drive yourself or go on a public bus. But the height of indignities came on the golf course.

He has written extensively on Mindanao, on the impact of US colonial policy on Philippine “national- ism” and state-building, and on center-local relations in the Philippines. Dr. Abinales received his BA from the University of the Philippines, and his MA and PhD from the Department of Government, Cornell University. This paper was presented at the workshop “In Whose Interests? The Future of the US Military in Asia,” held at the East-West Center, February 20-22, 2003. As an initial review of how the current US military presence in Mindanao is viewed locally, this working paper will form the basis of discussion for the Philippine case study for a cross-national study of how citizens in Asia view the presence of US forces within their society.
