For the Filipino people, it also ushered in an opportunity to rebuild a society based on principles and processes of democratic participation, human rights and social justice. At the grassroots, many civil society movements, NGOs and individuals expanded their work and advocacy in peacebuilding, while a new Constitution was proclaimed that enshrined fundamental freedoms and the foundations of a just and humane society. It was in this renewed democratic post-EDSA space that the field of peace education began to take root, initially within the Mindanao context where armed conflicts arising from movements for Moro self-determination and the CPP-NPA-NDF revolutionary struggle were still unresolved. Peace education programs also began to develop in schools, colleges and universities through nonformal and community programs in other islands and regions. Through the advocacy of the Peace Education Network (PEN), peace educa- tion centers and programs, nongovernment organizations and with support from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), one significant milestone was attained in 2006 with the signing of E.O. 570: Institutionalizing Peace Education in Basic Education and Teacher Education by then Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Among educators seeking to build a culture of peace, there is a consensus that transformative processes of educating are both long-term and lifelong. After three decades since the organized emergence of peace education in the Philippines, it was timely to engage in a retrospective clarification of the state of the field. On June 27 and 28, 2016, more than 50 educators from diverse formal institutions, NGOs and other civil society organizations gathered at Miriam College to share stories of hope and challenges of their initial and continuing efforts to promote peace education. Co-organized by the Center for Peace Education of Miriam College and the UN-mandated ix PREFACE University for Peace in Costa Rica, the Forum was envisioned as a space to be inspired by, as well as to learn lessons from initiatives and programs in Philippine peace education. It was a meaningful and fruitful gathering of educators in all levels and forms of education from formal basic and higher institutions to non-formal and community programs. While almost all of the participants are Filipinos by nationality, there were also a few whose roots were in other societies but who have been deeply involved in the Philippines journey in peace educa- tion. Regrettably, it was not feasible for all individuals or institutions who have played a significant role and continue to contribute to peace education to directly participate in the Forum, such as Notre Dame University, Balay Mindanaw Foundation, the Schools for Peace initiative, the Mindanao Peace- building Institute and several others. However, within the stories presented, their role were often duly noted although the Forum cannot claim to provide a comprehensive narrative. During the Forum, there were joyful reunions of many educators who collaborated in those early years of peace education formation and have remained committed to the vision, principles and goals that moved them to nurture the seedlings of which many have grown into successive generations of trees, flowers and fruits. Yet the stories did not only narrate hopeful signs of accomplishments and progress, they also understandably revealed some significant challenges and barriers that need to be constructively faced and overcome. The conference would not have been possible without the support, co- operation and help of numerous people and institutions. To the leaders and staff of Miriam College’s Center for Peace Education (CPE) including Dr. Loreta Castro, founding Director of CPE and former President of Miriam College, and Mirma Mae Tica, we express our gratitude for their energies and commitment in hosting the conference at relatively short notice. We thank Dr. Rosario Oreta Lapus, President of Miriam College, for her warm welcome to the delegates,

  • The Catholic Church and the Reproductive Health Bill Debate: the Philippine Experience
    bs_bs_banner HeyJ LV (2014), pp. 1044–1055 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL DEBATE: THE PHILIPPINE EXPERIENCE ERIC MARCELO O. GENILO, SJ Loyola School of Theology, Philippines The leadership of the Church in the Philippines has historically exercised a powerful influence on politics and social life. The country is at least 80% Catholic and there is a deeply ingrained cultural deference for clergy and religious. Previous attempts in the last 14 years to pass a reproductive health law have failed because of the opposition of Catholic bishops. Thus the recent passage of the ‘Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012’ (R.A. 10354) was viewed by some Filipinos as a stunning failure for the Church and a sign of its diminished influence on Philippine society. This article proposes that the Church’s engagement in the reproductive health bill (RH Bill) debate and the manner of its discourse undermined its own campaign to block the law.1 The first part of the article gives a historical overview of the Church’s opposition to government family planning programs. The second part discusses key points of conflict in the RH Bill debate. The third part will examine factors that shaped the Church’s attitude and responses to the RH Bill. The fourth part will examine the effects of the debate on the Church’s unity, moral authority, and role in Philippine society. The fifth part will draw lessons for the Church and will explore paths that the Church community can take in response to the challenges arising from the law’s implementation.

  • 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.

  • Far Eastern University Institute of Education
    Far Eastern University Institute of Education The Institute of Education (IE) is one of the four original institutes that comprised Far Eastern University in 1934. At first, the Institute’s concentration was in Home Economics, to emphasize the education of women as a driving force in the home. Hence, an integrated program and special courses in Clothing and Textiles, Cookery and Interior Decoration were among its curricular offerings. In 1946, the IE was granted Government Recognition for the elementary and high school teacher’s certificate. In the same year, the university was empowered to grant the degree of Bachelor of Secondary Education as well as the postgraduate course in Education. In 1956, it was granted Government Recognition #399 for the Bachelor of Elementary program with majors in General Education and Special Education. In 1973, it was granted permission to offer the Master of Arts in Teaching, and in 1977, its Doctor of Education program was recognized. The Institute of Education was granted permission in 1997 to offer 18 units of credits in professional education. In 2001 and in 2002, new programs were established – Bachelor of Science in Education major in Sports and Recreational Management (SRM) and the Teacher Certificate Program (TCP). Under the vertical articulation program of CHED, the administration of the graduate programs in Education was transferred from the Institute of Graduate Studies to the Institute of Education in 2007. To date, the Institute has graduated thousands who are actively engaged in the teaching profession not only as teachers and professors in public and private institutions of learning here and abroad but also as school administrators, researchers, authors of textbooks and other learning materials, as well as officials of government.

    International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) & Community-Based Institutes on Peace Education (CIPE) Tony Jenkins, Co-Director, Peace Education Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, & Global Coordinator, International Institute on Peace Education INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE ON PEACE EDUCATION The International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) was founded in 1982 and has since been held annually in different parts of the world. The first IIPE was held at Teachers College, Columbia University and organized by Professors Betty A. Reardon, Willard Jacobson and Douglas Sloan in cooperation with the United Ministries in Education. The IIPE is a multicultural and cooperative learning opportunity that has brought together educators and professionals from around the world to learn with and from each other in short-term learning communities that model principles of critical, participatory peace pedagogy. The Institute is an opportunity for networking and community building and has spawned a variety of collaborative research projects and peace education initiatives at the local, regional, and international levels. The International Peace Bureau, in nominating IIPE for the 2005 UNESCO Peace Education Prize described it as “probably the most effective agent for the introduction of peace education to more educators than any other single non-governmental agency.”(Weiss, 2005) The objectives of each particular institute are rooted in the needs and transformational concerns of the host region. More widely, the social purposes of the IIPE are directed toward the development of the field of peace education in theory, practice and advocacy. In addition to the important learning of contextually relevant issues and pedagogical approaches, the purposes of the IIPE are threefold: 1) To aid in the development of the substance of peace education through exploration of new and challenging themes to contribute to the on-going development of the field.

  • Philippines (2010)
    Page 1 of 9 Print Freedom in the World - Philippines (2010) Political Rights Score: 4 * Capital: Manila Civil Liberties Score: 3 * Status: Partly Free Population: 92,227,000 Trend Arrow The Philippines received a downward trend arrow due to a general decline in the rule of law in the greater Mindanao region, and specifically the massacre of 57 civilians on their way to register a candidate for upcoming elections. Overview Political maneuvering escalated in 2009 as potential candidates prepared for the 2010 presidential election. Meanwhile, the administration remained unsuccessful in its long-standing efforts to amend the constitution and resolve the country’s Muslim and leftist insurgencies. In November, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared martial law in the southern province of Maguindanao after 57 people were massacred in an apparent bid by the area’s dominant clan to prevent the electoral registration of a rival candidate. After centuries of Spanish rule, the Philippines came under U.S. control in 1898 and won independence in 1946. The country has been plagued by insurgencies, economic mismanagement, and widespread corruption since the 1960s. In 1986, a popular protest movement ended the 14-year dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos and replaced him with Corazon Aquino, whom the regime had cheated out of an electoral victory weeks earlier. Aquino’s administration ultimately failed to implement substantial reforms and was unable to dislodge entrenched social and economic elites. Fidel Ramos, a key figure in the 1986 protests, won the 1992 presidential election. The country was relatively stable and experienced significant if uneven economic growth under his administration.

The adoption of the new English translation of the Ro- man Missal has been approved by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) during its plenary assembly in January this year. Some parts of familiar responses and prayers have been amended to reflect the true meaning in the original Latin text, the language of the Roman liturgy. In the Introductory Rites, for instance, the response of the faithful “And also with you” to the priest’s greeting “The Lord be with you” has been replaced with “And with your spirit.” © Noli Yamsuan / RCAM Yamsuan © Noli Similar changes have also been introduced in other parts of the Mass, such as the Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Concluding Rites.
