  • Vigía: the Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam
    Vigía: The Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam Carlos Madrid Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center There are indications of the existence of a network of lookout points around Guam during the 18th and 19th centuries. This is suggested by passing references and few explicit allusions in Spanish colonial records such as early 19th Century military reports. In an attempt to identify the sites where those lookout points might have been located, this paper surveys some of those references and matches them with existing toponymy. It is hoped that the results will be of some help to archaeologists, historic preservation staff, or anyone interested in the history of Guam and Micronesia. While the need of using historic records is instrumental for the abovementioned purposes of this paper, focus will be given to the Chamorro place name Bijia. Historical evolution of toponymy, an area of study in need of attention, offers clues about the use or significance that a given location had in the past. The word Vigía today means “sentinel” in Spanish - the person who is responsible for surveying an area and warn of possible dangers. But its first dictionary definition is still "high tower elevated on the horizon, to register and give notice of what is discovered". Vigía also means an "eminence or height from which a significant area of land or sea can be seen".1 Holding on to the latter definition, it is noticeable that in the Hispanic world, in large coastal territories that were subjected to frequent attacks from the sea, the place name Vigía is relatively common.

    RENEWABLE ENERGY DECADE REPORT RENEWABLE ENERGY DECADE REPORT 2008-2018 About the Cover EMPOWERED celebrates ten years of the Renewable Energy Law in the Philippines. The cover represents Philippine provinces hosting biomass, geothermal, solar, hydropower and ocean, and wind (BiGSHOW) renewable energy sources. BiGSHOW resources have provided more than just clean energy and have contributed to changing lives of communities: (From left) The wind turbines from the Burgos Wind Project at Ilocos Norte positively contributed to the municipality’s tourism industry. Solar power plants in Negros Occidental influenced residents in San Carlos City to adopt environmentally sustainable lifestyles and industries. Nueva Ecija’s iPower biomass power plant became a solution to one of San Jose City’s pressing environmental problems. Hydropower projects in remote areas like Ifugao and Palawan lighted houses and reduced the risks of other children being burned by a gasera the same way Palaw’an Tribe Chieftain, Balion David’s daughter experienced. Lastly, PGPC and APRI’s combined effort for geothermal energy in Laguna and Batangas provides schooling and livelihood opportunities for many. ©2019 Department of Energy All rights reserved.

  • Caraga (Region XIII) Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)
    Regions of the Philippines Philippines is an archipelagic country which is composed of approximately 7,109 islands with Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao as the major islands. These islands are divided into 17 regions which are based on the geographical, cultural and ethnological characteristics of the country. These regions are: LUZON Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) Ilocos Region (Region I) Cagayan Valley (Region II) Central Luzon (Region III) National Capital Region (NCR) CALABARZON (Region IV-A) MIMAROPA (Region IV-B) Bicol Region (Region V) VISAYAS Western Visayas (Region VI) Central Visayas (Region VII) Eastern Visayas (Region VIII) MINDANAO Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX) Northern Mindanao (Region X) Davao Region (Region XI) SOCCSKSARGEN (Region XII) Caraga (Region XIII) Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) These regions, although separated from one another do not possess individual government authority except the ARMM which has exercised a separate sovereignty even before the Spanish came to colonise the country. ARMM is predominantly home to Muslim Filipinos which has its own elected regional assembly and is ruled by the Regional Governor. While ARMM nestles in the southern Philippines, CAR (originally called as Cordillera Autonomous Region) is located at the northern part of the country. CAR initially intended as an autonomous region was changed into an administrative region due to the failure of two referendums. This region vastly governs and protects the indigenous tribes mainly called as Igorots. Every region is divided into provinces which individually govern the local government units (districts, cities and towns) except the NCR. The National Capital Region which is mainly the Metropolitan Manila or Metro Manila is the smallest administrative region in the country and the only region without any provinces.

  • Assessing Authenticity of Selected Cultural Heritage Sites of Paoay, Ilocos Norte: a Study on Enhancing Visitors’ Experience
    Assessing Authenticity of Selected Cultural Heritage Sites of Paoay, Ilocos Norte: A Study on Enhancing Visitors’ Experience Rushiell May Oasay 1, Ma. Cristina Williams, Ph. D. 2 University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, Calamba Laguna 1, Centro Escolar University, Manila 2 {[email protected] 1, [email protected] 2} Abstract. Cultural tourism is one of the developing sectors in the tourism industry. As tourism is experiencing significant changes, expectation is set constantly in terms of the quality of the experience pursued by tourists. This study examined the relationship between authenticity and visitors’ experience. Mixed method research was used and the hypothesis was tested using Pearson r correlation. Questionnaire and interview were the instruments of the study. The study suggests that there is a significant relationship between authenticity and visitors’ experience, r (385)=.89, p>.01. The existing tourism plans and programs in the municipality of Paoay, Ilocos Norte includes marketing programs, economic, physical infrastructure and socio-cultural plans and programs for both the visitors and local people. Visitors’ Experience Enhancement Program (VEEP) was developed based on the results of the study to help improve the quality of visitors’ experiences in a cultural heritage site. Keywords: authenticity in tourism, cultural heritage, visitor experience, Paoay 1 Introduction Cultural tourism is one of the key activities [1], and will be the economic sector with the most rapid development of the tourism industry [2], [3], [4]. There has been a movement towards increased specialization among visitors [4], and as studies show, cultural heritage is one of the determinants of travel [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11].
