Originally written in Spanish, the book is more often published and read in the Philippines, either in Tagalog or English. Along with its sequel, El filibusterismo (Grade 10), Noli's reading is a must for high school students (Grade 9) nationwide. These two novels are widely considered the national epic of the Philippines and are adapted in many forms such as operas, musicals, plays and other forms of art. The name Rizal to title this novel as such draws inspiration from John's 20:13-17 Bible, the technical name for a particularly painful type of cancer (back in its day, it was unknown what the modern name of Said disease was). He suggested researching all the cancers of Philippine society that everyone else considers too painful to touch. Early English translations of the novel used titles such as Flight of the Eagle (1900) and Social Cancer (1912), oblivious to the symbolism of the name, but later translations were published using the original Latin name. The Austro-Hungarian writer Ferdinand Blumenthal also noted that Noli Me Tangmere is a name used by local Filipinos for century cancer; about the fact that the ophthalmologist Rizal was influenced by this fact, says in the dedication of the novel My Fatherland. Von Jose Rizal, a Filipino nationalist and doctor, conceived the idea of writing a novel that would expose the woes of Philippine society after reading Harriet Beecher Stowe's uncle Tom Cabin. He preferred a promising novel to express how Philippine culture was perceived as backward, anti-progress, anti-intellectual, and not conducive to the ideals of the Enlightenment. He was then a medical student at the Central University of Madrid. In a Filipino reunion at the home of his friend Pedro A. Paterno in Madrid on January 2, 1884, Rizal offered to write a novel about the Philippines written by a group of Filipinos. His proposal was unanimously approved by the Filipinos present at the time, including Pedro, Maximino Viola and Antonio Paterno, Graziano Lopez Jaena, Evaristo Aguirre, Eduardo de Lete, Julio Llorente and Valentin Ventura. However, this project did not materialize. The people who agreed to help Rizal with the novel wrote nothing. Initially, the novel was planned to cover and describe all stages of Philippine life, but almost everyone wanted to write about women. Rizal even saw his comrades spend more time gambling and flirting with Spanish women. Because of this, he came out of the plan of co-writing with others and decided to develop a novel alone. The site of Crisostomo Ibarra, the son of mestizo recently deceased Don Rafael Ibarra, is san Diego in Laguna after seven years of study in Europe. Captain Thiago, a family friend, invites him to spend his first night in Manila, where Thiago is holding a reunion party at his riverside home on Angeloag Street. Crisostomo obliges. Over dinner, he meets old friends, the high society of Manila, and Padre Demaso, an old San Diego priest, when Ibarra left for Europe. Demaso treats Crisostomo with hostility, surprising a young man who took a monk to be his father's friend. Crisostomo makes excuses early and returns to the hotel when Lieutenant Guevara, another friend of his father, catching up with him. As they go to the stop of Cris'sstomo, and away from the socialites at the party who may possibly compromise them if they heard Guevarra shows to the young man of events leading up to Raphael's death and the role of D'maso in it. Crisostomo, who has been grieving since learning of his father's death, decides to forgive and not take revenge. Nevertheless, Guevara warns the young man to be careful. The next day, Crisostomo returns to Captain Thiago's house to meet his childhood sweetheart, Thiago's daughter, Maria Clara. Two flirting and reminisce in azotea, a porch overlooking the river. Maria reads back to Cris'sstomo his farewell letter wherein he explained to her Wish of Raphael for Cris'sstomo to set out, to study to become a more useful citizen of the country. Seeing that Crisostomo is excited about his father's mention, Maria playfully makes excuses, promising to see him again at his family's home in San Diego during the city fiesta. Crisostomo goes to the city cemetery, reaching San Diego to visit his father's grave. However, he learns from the gravedigger that the city priest ordered to exhume the remains of Raphael and transfer to a Chinese cemetery. Although Crisostomo is outraged by the revelation, the gravedigger adds that on the night he dug up the corpse, it rained heavily, and he feared for his soul, forcing him to defy the priest's orders by throwing the body into the lake. At this point, Padre Bernardo Salve, the new priest of San Diego, enters the cemetery. Crisostomo's anger explodes when he pushes him into the ground and demands accounting; Salve scaryly tells Crisostomo that the transfer was ordered by the previous priest, Padre Demaso, causing the latter to leave in horror. Crisostomo, committed to his patriotic endeavors, is determined not to retaliate or put this issue behind us. As the days progress, he fulfills his plan to serve his country as his father wanted. He intends to use his family wealth to build a school, believing that his paisanos will benefit from a more modern education than what is offered in schools run by the government, whose curriculum has been greatly softened by teachings Monks. Taking advantage of the huge support, even from the Spanish authorities, Cris'sstomo preparing for his school in advance quickly in just a few days. He receives advice from Don Anastasio, a revered local philosopher who calls him a progressive teacher who lamented the influence of monks on public education and wanted reforms. The building was scheduled to begin construction with a cornerstone that will be laid in a ceremony during the San Diego Fiesta City. One day, while resting, Crisostomo, Maria and their friends board a boat and go for a picnic along the banks of the Laguna de Bae, away from the city center. It then emerged that the crocodile was hiding on fish pens belonging to Ibarras. Elias, the pilot of the boat, jumps into the water with a bolo knife. Sensing that Elias is in danger, Crisostomo also jumps, and they conquer the animal together. Crisostomo gently scolds the pilot for his recklessness, while Eliza declares herself indebted to Crisostomo. On the day of the fiesta, Elias warns Crisostomo of a plot to kill him on the cornerstone. The ceremony included a massive stone lowered into the trench by wooden towers. Crisostomo, being the main sponsor of the project, is to lay the solution with a spatula on the bottom of the trench. However, as he prepares for this, the rig fails and the stone falls into the trench, causing the rig to be down with him in a mighty accident. When the dust is cleared, the pale, dust-covered Cris'stomo stands rigidly trench, barely missing the stone. In its place under the stone is the alleged killer. Elisas is gone.

  • CN Flores the CATTLE CARAVANS of ANCIENT CABOLOAN
    C.N. Flores THE CATTLE CARAVANS OF ANCIENT CABOLOAN (INTERIOR PLAINS OF PANGASINAN): CONNECTING HISTORY, CULTURE AND COMMERCE BY CARTWHEEL Caravan cultures throughout the world depict stories of real jour- neys, discoveries and exploits. They also account for the construction of local histories, territories and market societies. At best, caravan routes map the geoeconomic and the ethnohistoric trail of peoples on the road towards venture capitalism in the earlier centuries. But in the 21st century, the history of caravan cultures remain only in the people’s memory as artefact (or artifi ce?) and which has been romanticized into bioepics or heroic adventures of legendary men caught in the age of material adventurism from the 13th to 16th centuries. In this day of global network and cyber transactions, it is fascinating and at the same time remarkable how the caravan culture still persists in the Philippines. Its persistence as a vestige of feudal past in an era of intensifi ed commercialization and industrialization is indeed indicative of uneven modes of development, as it is symbolic of inter- secting diverse cultures where the rural locale ventures into the national and into the global with far reaching implications on issues of ethnicity and cultural import. The cattle caravans of ancient Caboloan continue to peddle their bamboo-based products from the province of Pangasinan to the highways of Metro Manila. These are the ubiquitous cattle-drawn carriages selling hammocks, bamboo chairs and bookshelves we see in front of SM Fairview, Commonwealth, East and C.P. Garcia Avenues. But not until recently when Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) agents found them illegally parked along national roads thereby considered obstruction to traffi c.

  • Art-Q4module7-Sculpt
    SCULPTURE Overview In the previous modules, you were already introduced to different art elements and design principles as manifested from different Philippine arts – from simple basket and mat weaving of different indigenous and cultural communities to the highly sophisticated textile weaving from Northern to Southern Philippines. You are also familiar with the Angono petroglyphs, the Laguna copperplate inscriptions,. In this module, you will understand how Philippine sculpture evolved from its simplest form as manifested in clay potteries of Maitum, the Manunggul jar, the bul-ol, and the pre-historic Angono cave art to the highly- Christianized period of Chinese artisans in Manila and the Paete woodcarvers in Laguna and the western- inspired, modern era of sculptors Napoleon Abueva, Guillermo Tolentino, Ed Castrillo, and Jun Yee among others. You will also experience how to create your own sculpture and make an assemblage from available and seemingly useless trash and discards.

  • Kant and Precolonial Mathematics
    kant and precolonial mathematics Jayson C. Jimenez Polytechnic University of the Philippines Abstract In his posthumously published essay “Mathematical Ideas in Early Philippine Society,” Ricardo Manapat presented the case of the Angono Petroglyphs, a set of Neolithic (about 3,000 BC) cave drawings located in the hills of Angono, Rizal, a province in the south of Manila. Jesus Peralta, a famed anthropologist discovered that there are 127 figures in the petroglyphs clearly discernible as integral units. These figures demonstrate various depictions of symmetry such as triangle and parallelogram, scaling, and proportions demonstrating an intuitive mathematical work and prehistoric forms of abstractions. Manapat posited in his article that old Tagalogs assigned ‘limit numbers’ such as a thousand yuta (100,000,000) against the idea of mathematical infinity. He also reports that whatever goes beyond this number is no longer conceivable. In this paper, I aim to read the precolonial Philippine mathematical system through the lens of Kant’s concepts of pure intuition and mathematics. Within this dialectic, I claim that intuitive precolonial ethnomathematics works parallel with Kant’s thoughts on intuition as the revelatory ground for mathematical concepts which thereby serve as means for determining anything unfounded and arbitrary. The precolonial math system, constituted by ideas of symmetry, integral units, shapes and limit numbers, are mere forms of appearances sensible to Neolithic people in their spatio-temporal magnitudes. By claiming ethnomathematical observation as accessible to the precolonial’s pure intuition alone, I look to locate a possible site where these two dynamic systems, i.e., Kant’s epistemic rigor and precolonial ethnomathematics, would successfully converge.

    Abstracts Atnashev Vadim R. St.Petersburg, Northwest Academy of Public Administration Characteristics of Constitutional Rights in the Republic of the Philippines The paper considers the principal constitutional rights in the Philippines and touches upon the actual problem of human rights in the country. The Bill of Rights is a significant part of the current 1987 Constitution, sections of which are examined. A weak point of some provisions is the presence of clauses that limit the prescribed rights and freedoms. In general, the improvement of human rights conditions in the Philippines is connected to the actions of Congress, the Presidential Committee on Human Rights, Commission on Human Rights, interagency councils dealing with human rights concerns and of civil society. The paper also examines provisions of the “Indigenous Peoples‟ Rights Act” (Republic Act No. 8371) concerning landed property and the registration of titles over ancestral domains of indigenous peoples. Protection of the titling is one of the main tasks of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples. The Philippine Government would be recommended to further develop efficient legal mechanisms for the promotion and protection of human rights in the country. Berezkin Yuri E.

By what means the earliest settlers arrived in the archipelago is still a mystery, but a growing body of evidence points to the likelihood that they possessed seafaring technology. If so, then modern Filipinos—who are even now making their first tentative steps into space—are heirs to a rich heritage of exploration, the story of which has yet to be fully told.

  • 2018 Ecological Profile
    2018 [GENERAL INFORMATION] A. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT Urdaneta was organized into a pueblo on January 8, 1858 when the contiguous C settlement of the pioneering inhabitants, mostly Ilocanos and a sprinkling of Pangasinenses, met all requirements of becoming a town. It came into existence from the conglomeration of H portions of barrios from the surrounding towns of Asingan, Villasis, Malasiqui, Sta. Barbara, A Mangaldan, Manaoag and Binalonan. P The petitioners for the creation of the new independent town identified themselves as Cabezas Tenietes representing the inhabitants of barrios Batad in Asingan, T Nancamaliran in Sta. Barbara and Caocalan in Mangaldan. They proposed that the new E town be named Soldevilla, in honor of the alcalde Mayor of the province at that time, Senior Don Manuel Boutelon y Soldevilla. However, the Alcalde Mayor himself declined the honor R and instead proposed the name Urdaneta, with the recommendation of the Parish Priest, Fr. Nicolas Manrique Alonzo as the first cura parocco. The town was named in honor of Father Andres de Urdaneta. Father Andres de Urdaneta was a famous soldier, navigator, historian, O cosmographer and evangelist who was assigned by King Philip II of Spain to join the Legaspi Expedition of 1564. A monument outside Intramuros shows Legazpi carrying a N sword while Urdaneta at his side holding up the cross. There, an inscription reads: “he is the E unparalleled cosmographer, pioneer of the Christian and Spanish civilization in the Philippines”. The Vicar of Sta. Barbara and the curates of Asingan and Mangaldan supported Father Alonzo’s proposal to name the new town Urdaneta.

  • A New Recording and Interpretation of the Rock Art of Angono, Rizal, Philippines
    Rock Art Research 2018 - Volume 35, Number 1, pp. 47-61. A. JALANDONI and P. S. C. TAÇON 47 KEYWORDS: Engraving – Image enhancement – Petroglyph – Philippines – 3D – GIS A NEW RECORDING AND INTERPRETATION OF THE ROCK ART OF ANGONO, RIZAL, PHILIPPINES Andrea Jalandoni and Paul S. C. Taçon Abstract. The rock art of Angono is the most famous and controversial rock art site in the Philippines. It has been 50 years since the rock art was discovered, studied and interpreted. This paper identifies two phases of rock art production and uses 3D modelling and Geograph- ic Information System (GIS) enhancements to corroborate the interpretation. Furthermore, by digitally tracing the figures we have produced a more accurate and complete record of the rock art. The digital record allows for statistical descriptions and interpretations previously not available, as well as providing a baseline for monitoring the rock art at the site. Introduction mate-Data.Org 2016). Geologically, the rock art is en- In the Philippines there are over twenty known graved on Guadalupe Tuff, described as fine-grained, rock painting and petroglyph sites (e.g. Novellino 1999; brownish to ‘buff-colored’ tuff (De La Rosa n.d.: 8).

Occasionally new sites are located, including in late 2016 in Masbate (GMA News Online 2016).
