A Profiling Study of the Creative Industry Artists of Baguio City, the First Creative City in the Philippines Renen Szilardo C Journal of Economics, Management & Agricultural Development Vol. 6 No. 1 A Profiling Study of the Creative Industry Artists of Baguio City, the First Creative City in the Philippines Renen Szilardo C. de Guzman1 ABSTRACT Research among 56 creative industries' artists was conducted to serve as a foundation in creating and implementing plans for Baguio Creative City. This study evaluated artists' creative and business dimensions to determine the experiences and challenges they encounter. Generally, artists participate in the creative economy where the art market thrives. Artists, who do not consider themselves good businessmen, encountered typical enterprises' challenges: finding customers, marketing products, managing finances, and operations. Their most pressing concerns were limited government support and lack of creative spaces. There is a need to develop the creative and entrepreneurial skills among artists and the city’s infrastructure. It is recommended that the local government establish creative spaces to showcase artists’ works and performances while serving as a marketplace. Formal registration of artists is advised to professionalize their roles and achieve better representation in public policy together with private interest groups, universities, and the government. Keywords: creative industry, enterprise profiling, creative economy, creative cities, creative profiling Introduction In 2017, the city of Baguio was music (19%), design (16%), literature (16%), inducted to the Creative Cities Network, a gastronomy (15%), film (7%), and media arts membership of cities with industries fueled (7%). Baguio City was declared as a creative and driven by creativity together with 64 new city under the crafts and folk arts discipline. cities from 44 countries (Baguio Tourism and Creative Industries, Creative Economies, Special Events Office [BTSEO] n.d.). This network, under the United Nations and Creative Cities Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Even before UNESCO had Organization (UNESCO), aims to develop established the Creative Cities Network, the harmonious collaboration with and among concepts of the creative industry and creative cities that consider creativity and innovation economy were already being utilized among as an essential and critical element towards various literature and local governments. sustainable and inclusive urban development These terms emerged from the strategic (Creative Cities Network n.d). opportunity to look at culture and creativity Creative cities were formally not only as a cluster in the economy but also institutionalized in 2004 by UNESCO as a driver of growth. through the Creative Cities Network.

Creative cities census per creative field (2004-2019) as published by UNESCO The earliest attribution of the creative sector can be traced back to 1948 when Adorno and Horkheimer coined the term cultural industries which pertain to entities that create, reproduce, and distribute work related to culture (Section for the Diversity of Cultural Expressions n.d., United Nations Development Programme [UNDP] 2013). These are industries involved in the production and consumption of value offerings with either symbolic or expressive elements (UNDP 2013) which are related to heritage and tradition (Culture Partnership Australia n.d.). The term creative industries, on the other hand, was formally defined by United Kingdom’s Department for Culture, Media, and Sports (DCMS) in 1998 as “industries which have their origin in individual creativity, skill, and talent and which have a potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property” (DCMS 2001, BOP Consulting 2010, Villar 2010). In a nutshell, businesses that are rooted in creativity as its core are considered creative industries (Parrish n.d.). While cultural industries are heritage and tradition related, creative industries further widen the scope into covering applications of arts and creative disciplines which include innovation (Culture Partnership Australia n.d.). Creative industries encompass but are not limited to the following fields: advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, design, fashion, film, video, photography, music, performing arts, publishing, research and development, software, computer games, electronic publishing, and TV and radio (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development [UNCTAD] n.d.) The creative economy, according to Howkins, pertains to economic systems where value is based on originality and creativity (Howkins as cited by Culture Partnership Australia n.d.). Howkins used this nomenclature to cluster entities, industries, and activities which use creativity as the main input, instead of the traditional land, labor, and capital (Howkins 2001). Furthermore, according to the UNCTAD, creative economy, among its many definitions, is the “sum of all the parts of the creative industries, including trade, labor, and production.” This means that the term creative economy denotes not only the scope of physical art and culture products but also the intangible aspects of the transactions among these products (UNDP 2013, Howkins 2001). With these definitions, UNCTAD contextualized the analogy that creative industries are the components and the lifeblood of the creative economy (UNCTAD n.d.). Operationalizing these terms, products, and services of arts and culture are considered cultural industries, which is further expanded to creative industries covering the wide array of products and services rooted in creativity and innovation. The system by which the products, services, and industries interact with each other is the creative economy. Journal of Economics, Management & Agricultural Development Vol. 6 No. 1 35 Creative Cities and the Creative Cities NetworK Recognizing the value of cultural industries, creative industries, and creative economies are relevant and necessary. Economies in the world are generally operating and measured on a per-country basis but treating the creative economy on this scale might be hard to manage. With the nature and diversity of creativity in nations, it is absolute that a country focused on a single creative economy does not and will not exist. A country will host and home a multitude of diverse creative economies under its governance (Howkins as cited by Mercado and Tolentino 2018). The cases of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Broadway suggested that the success of the creative economy was achieved when inter-related creative industries co-locate in a geographic area where they could reap the benefits from competition and collaboration. There is a perspective that developing creative industries and creative economies were most effective when strategies and policies were enacted at a city level (Howkins as cited by Mercado and Tolentino 2018). Hence, this notion served as a strong rationale for the concept of the Creative Cities Network. Creative cities are specific local geographic units that have identified and considered creativity as a strategic factor in development (Creative Cities Network n.d.). These cities, which have a rich pool of creative individuals and creative industries, commit to placing their creative resources at the core of their development plans. The Creative Cities Network was institutionalized by UNESCO in 2004 to promote cooperation and to learn from the experiences of each other. Members of the network are unified on a common goal of “placing creativity and cultural industries at the heart of their development plans at the local level and cooperating actively at the international level” (UNESCO Creative Cities Network n.d.). Candidate cities apply to become part of the network allowing them to be subjected to an evaluation based on the commitment and capacity of the city to contribute to the vision and objectives of the network (UNESCO 2009). The application includes proof that creative industries thrive in the city, together with a four-year plan which is focused on enhancing them. A city can apply on either one of the seven creative fields identified as crafts and folk arts, music, design, literature, gastronomy, film, and media arts. Criticisms and Praises of the Creative Cities NetworK Though evaluations of the Creative Cities Network were limited in terms of literature, the network itself has received its share of criticisms and praises. Internally, the recent exponential growth of cities being inducted was seen to disengage members, who raised concerns

  • Assessing Frontline HIV Service Provider Efficiency Using Data Envelopment Analysis: a Case Study of Philippine Social Hygiene Clinics (Shcs) Xerxes T
    Seposo et al. BMC Health Services Research (2019) 19:415 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-019-4163-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Assessing frontline HIV service provider efficiency using data envelopment analysis: a case study of Philippine social hygiene clinics (SHCs) Xerxes T. Seposo1,2,3* , Ichiro Okubo4 and Masahide Kondo5 Abstract Background: Globally, local and frontline HIV service delivery units have been deployed to halt the HIV epidemic. However, with the limited resources, there is a need to understand how these units can deliver their optimum outputs/outcomes efficiently given the inputs. This study aims to determine the efficiency of the social hygiene clinics (SHC) in the Philippines as well as to determine the association of the meta-predictor to the efficiencies. Methods: In determining efficiency, we used the variables from two data sources namely the 2012 Philippine HIV Costing study and 2011 Integrated HIV Behavioral and Serologic Surveillance, as inputs and outputs, respectively. Various data management protocols and initial assumptions in data matching, imputation and variable selection, were used to create the final dataset with 9 SHCs. We used data envelopment analysis (DEA) to analyse the efficiency, while variations in efficiencies were analysed using Tobit regression with area-specific meta-predictors. Results: There were potentially inefficient use of limited resources among sampled SHC in both aggregate and key populations. Tobit regression results indicated that income was positively associated with efficiency, while HIV prevalence was negatively associated with the efficiency variations among the SHCs. Conclusions: We were able to determine the inefficiently performing SHCs in the Philippines. Though currently inefficient, these SHCs may adjust their inputs and outputs to become efficient in the future.

  • The Current Planning Paradigm in the City of Baguio, Philippines
    Journal of Architecture and Construction Volume 1, Issue 4, 2018, PP 08-16 ISSN 2637-5796 Paradoxes of Inclusion: The Current Planning Paradigm in the City of Baguio, Philippines Lord Byron F. GONZALES Saint Louis University, School of Engineering Architecture, Environment and Habitat Planning, Baguio City, Philippines *Corresponding Author: Lord Byron F. GONZALES, Saint Louis University, School of Engineering Architecture, Environment and Habitat Planning, Baguio City, Philippines ABSTRACT In the context of a Developing Country like the Philippines, a highly centralized land use planning and decision making seems to be the rule rather than the exception. As a result, land use planning theory and practice in the Cordillera particularly in Baguio City is framed by the top-down planning approach guided by the rational comprehensive paradigm leading to the emergence of problems and disconnect between government policy and indigenous people aspirations and land claims which are all qualitatively summarized in the themes of discordance between people, power, and process. It is for this purpose that this study was undertaken, primarily we seek to find out what problems do the city planners experience in the application of the existing land use planning paradigm? Considering that Baguio City is a center of indigenous cultures and how inclusive were the emergent land use planning system? In conclusion discordance in capacities, where legal and statutory provisions themselves provided the limitations to indigenous participation and involvement in planning; and discordances in spatial specific performances provided the constraints for wider and more participative involvement outside the structure of power to the disadvantage of a sustainable land use plan.

  • 2009 Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng Disasters in the Phillipines
    Natural Disaster Research Report of the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, No. 45 ; February, 2011 2009 Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng Disasters in the Phillipines Tadashi NAKASU*, Teruko SATO**, Takashi INOKUCHI***, Shinya SHIMOKAWA***, and Akiko WATANABE**** * International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management under the auspices of UNESCO (ICHARM), Japan ** Visiting Researcher, National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), Japan, *** National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), Japan **** Toyo University, Japan Abstract On September 25 and 26, 2009, Typhoon Ondoy struck the south-west island of the Luzon islands in the Philippines. Heavy rainfall affected 4.9 million people, causing 501 fatalities. In the middle of October 2009, Typhoon Pepeng struck in and around Baguio City, located in the northern part of the Luzon islands. Heavy rainfall caused a large number of landslides, and 4.5 million people were affected, totaling 539 fatalities. This is a survey report of the great water related disasters that occurred in the Philippines and that were caused by Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. The report is focused on the extensive urban flood disaster that occurred in Metro Manila and on the landslides that occurred in and around Baguio City. The investigation was managed and carried out by an interdisciplinary team including a geologist, a geophysical scientist, a geographer, a sociologist, and an anthropologist. This research reveals that changes in socio-economic conditions increases vulnerability to disasters and thereby exacerbates damage. It is suggested that future rapid population growth in urban areas along with global warming could further increase vulnerability to disasters in developing countries.

  • The Transnational Growth of Philippine Ethnic Businesses in The
    People and Culture in Oceania, 35: 31-59, 2019 The Transnational Growth of Philippine Ethnic Businesses in the Age of Global Mobility: A Case of Korean-Run English Language Schools in Baguio, a Regional Capital, the Philippines Nobutaka Suzuki* This paper examines the origin and transnational growth of Korean-run English language education businesses, through which Philippine English has been commercialized as a commodity in overseas markets. The Philippines has become one of the most popular destinations for Korean and Japanese students to study English. Two major factors make this decision valid: English competency has become an essential skill for employability and career growth; and studying in the Philippines is more affordable than doing so in native English- speaking countries. Accordingly, English language schools for foreigners in the Philippines have proliferated tremendously. However, little is known about why these English language schools, owned and managed by Korean and Japanese migrant entrepreneurs and investors, have dominated the English language industry in the Philippines. Unlike Korean migrants’ small and self-employed businesses in the Philippines, such as Korean restaurants, beauty parlors, bakeries, and butchers, the schools are both groundbreaking and innovative. These businesses, initially established for early study abroad opportunities for Korean children, have continued to grow rapidly by finding a new overseas market in Japan. Such a transnational spread of these ethnic businesses has been possible not only thanks to their innovative English language training programs, but also because of the de-regulation policy related to visa application by the Philippine authorities, which facilitates this ethnic entrepreneurship. In this paper, focusing on Baguio, a regional capital in northern Luzon, we analyze how Korean migrant entrepreneurs started their English language schools and how they came to develop their innovative educational programs.

  • CHAPTER 1: the Envisioned City of Quezon
    CHAPTER 1: The Envisioned City of Quezon 1.1 THE ENVISIONED CITY OF QUEZON Quezon City was conceived in a vision of a man incomparable - the late President Manuel Luis Quezon – who dreamt of a central place that will house the country’s highest governing body and will provide low-cost and decent housing for the less privileged sector of the society. He envisioned the growth and development of a city where the common man can live with dignity “I dream of a capital city that, politically shall be the seat of the national government; aesthetically the showplace of the nation--- a place that thousands of people will come and visit as the epitome of culture and spirit of the country; socially a dignified concentration of human life, aspirations and endeavors and achievements; and economically as a productive, self-contained community.” --- President Manuel L. Quezon Equally inspired by this noble quest for a new metropolis, the National Assembly moved for the creation of this new city. The first bill was filed by Assemblyman Ramon P. Mitra with the new city proposed to be named as “Balintawak City”. The proposed name was later amended on the motion of Assemblymen Narciso Ramos and Eugenio Perez, both of Pangasinan to “Quezon City”. 1.2 THE CREATION OF QUEZON CITY On September 28, 1939 the National Assembly approved Bill No. 1206 as Commonwealth Act No. 502, otherwise known as the Charter of Quezon City. Signed by President Quezon on October 12, 1939, the law defined the boundaries of the city and gave it an area of 7,000 hectares carved out of the towns of Caloocan, San Juan, Marikina, Pasig, and Mandaluyong, all in Rizal Province.
