    Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI By Mr. Joey Silva A study of bridging leadership in the Philippines produced in cooperation with the Asian Institute of Management 2002 Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI Introduction Mindanao, in southern Philippines, is home to the country's largest concentration of Muslims (an estimated 35% of the island groups’ population are avowed Muslims). The history of the violence in Mindanao spans decades. The current conflicts are a result of the migration of Christians in great numbers from other areas of the country during American rule, the martial law policies and war against the Muslim separatists during the Marcos era, and the unfulfilled hopes of peace after the restoration of democracy in 1986. Mindanawons in general often feel policymakers in Manila do not consider their views when deciding on national issues. The creation of Kusog Mindanaw (“Strong Mindanao”) in 1994 had so far brought 16 roundtable conferences centered on peace and development for Mindanao. This multi- sectoral coalition, whose creation was spearheaded by Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI, was primarily established to promote peace and development, and begin a process of increasing the voice of Mindanawons in national policymaking. The Issue Macro Context – A Historical Perspective The struggle of the Moro people began sometime in the 16th century when Spain invaded Muslim Mindanao. Before coming to the Philippines in 1521, the Christian Spaniards already felt deep hatred and prejudice toward Islam and the Muslims, whom they called Moros (Moors). The Moors had actually ruled Spain for 700 years from the 8th to the 15th century.

Chua Pamantasang De La Salle Maynila Maikling Paglalarawan ng Paksa ng Modyul-Gabay: Nakaugalian nang ilahad ang kasaysayan ng kolonyalismo sa pananaw ng mga opisyal na dokumento ng mga dayuhan at mga kolonyalistang sanaysay na nagpatibay ng kolonyal na mentalidad ng Pilipino na ang Kanluran ay laging daluyan ng ginhawa. Liban pa sa nawalan na ng saysay ang nakaraang ito sa maraming Pilipino dahil hindi nito talaga nasalamin ang kanilang kamalayan. Ang Nasyunalistang Kasaysayan ni Agoncillo, na lalong pinaunlad at pinagpapatuloy ng Pantayong Pananaw, ang nagbukas ng daan na lalong maintindihan ang kasaysayan sa pananaw ng mga Pilipino sa nakalipas na mga taon. Ayon kay Zeus A. Salazar at sa iba pang tagapagtaguyod ng Pantayog Pananaw, ang Kasaysayan ay “salaysay na may saysay para sa sinasalaysayang grupo ng tao.” Sa paglalahad ng kwento mula sa pananaw ng mga lider tungo sa pananaw ng mga namumuhay ng kalinangan—ang mga mamamayan, nais ng module na ito na ipakita ang pag-unlad ng kapuluan mula sa iba’t ibang bayan tungo sa pagiging isang bansa. Ang karanasan ng Conquista at pakikibaka ang nagbuo sa bayan tungo sa kamalayang pambansa, na ang magiging katuparan ay ang Himagsikang Pilipino ng 1896. Sa kasamaang palad, dahil sa Dambuhalang Pagkakahating Pangkalinangan, nagkaroon din ng tunggalian sa loob ng bansa, kaya naman hindi pa rin natatapos ang gawain ng pagbubuo nito tungo sa tunay na kaginhawaan ng mga Pilipino.

T. & J. C. SMILEY NEW YORK CITY — INTRODUCTION THIS work is intended to be a record of all that Germans have accomplished in the United States a record of honest endeavor, energy, perseverance, strength and achievement. It shall, in addition, show the part that the American citizen of German blood has taken in the making of these United States, in peace and war, on the battlefield as well as in the counting house, the workshop and laboratory, in the realm of science and education or in the long fight that was neces- sary to extend civilization and culture over a continent. It contains a history of German immigration in the United States from the first settlements to the present day, showing what the Germans were who left the fatherland, why they came, and what they did in their new country. Every incident throwing light upon the work done by the German element has been made use of to give a complete, though concise, and impartial re- cital of its activity, and a description of the influence it has exerted upon the development of the Union.

U.S., Southern Claims Commission Allowed Claims, 1871-1880 [database on-line]. 30 ARLINGTON HISTORICAL MAGAZINE "I was a Union Man:" James and Lewis Marcey's Civil War Experience BY JESSICA KAPLAN On May 23, 1861, James and Lewis Marcey, Alexandria County (now Arlington) farmers, rode to Ball's Crossroads, (Ballston), to vote on the Virginia Ordinance of Secession. The issue, whether Virginia should secede from the United States of America, divided Alexandria County and the Nation. Armed men greeted voters at the polling station threatening expulsion from the state and forfeiture of property if locals opted to remain in the Union. 1 One held a revolver to a local carpenter, Malcolm Douglass 's head and warned, 'Mal, if you vote no, I will give you the contents of that! ' 2 Neither Mr. Douglass nor James and Lewis Marcey flinched under intimidation. They chose to keep Virginia in the Union. A majority of Alexandria County men voted similarly. In contrast, Virginians overwhelmingly endorsed secession and the state followed suit. Background: I live in a farmhouse on the property once owned by James and Lewis Marcey. Intrigued by Arlington's Civil War history, I delved into records about the family during this period and was richly rewarded. Most compelling was the first hand testimony of Southern Unionists seeking compensation for wartime losses through the Southern Claims Court (SCC). Combined with wonderful maps, diaries, and newspaper articles from the period, a rendering of the fam­ ily's story, filled with irony, complexity, and heartache, emerged.

    WHAT IS MAHARLIKA? MAHARLIKA is a technomystic, Filipino Mythology inspired Science Fantasy centered around Mekanized Weapons or Meka, and their pilots: the eponymous Maharlika. You will play as these titular spirit-warriors, mavericks, aces, and knights that all swear loyalty to a Datu, one of the CEOs of the Megacorporations, so that you can protect the technospiritual galaxy of Arkipelago. Sometimes, you’re the archetypical noble Maharlika, sworn follower of your Datu and kneeling before their feet. Other times, you’re just an exceptionally skilled person trying to make ends meet, and ‘loyalty’ is just another word for “whatever makes the most money.” You are a free person, after all. As Maharlika, you venture out into space where you will take on missions, trade, and find more work through fiestas to survive, thrive, and protect what is yours in the dangerous Starsea. What is a Tabletop RPG? It is a game that is played on top of a ‘table’, like Monopoly for instance, but more in-depth. You will play as a character within the game’s world, and one of you will be the ARBITER. They will be the one tasked with bringing life to the galaxy you and the other Maharlika will play in, and act as the characters you will meet and, perhaps, fight throughout your adventures. PLAYERS will play as MAHARLIKA. They will be tasked with creating their own characters and their actions within the world. They are the MC, or Main Character of the story.

    Bearers of the Sword Radical Islam, Philippines Insurgency, and Regional Stability

    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Bearers of the Sword Radical Islam, Philippines Insurgency, and Regional Stability by Dr. Graham H. Turbiville, Jr. Introduction In the immediate aftermath of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, U.S. President George W. Bush and his national security leadership articulated objectives for a wide- ranging war against terrorism. Six months later, these objectives remain focused on destroying international terrorist centers, dismantling terrorist networks around the world, and punishing states that support terrorist activities. The Al-Qaeda terrorist organization--sponsors of the 11 September attacks and earlier terrorist assaults on U.S. people, property, and interests--remains a high priority. As Al-Qaeda's principal bases and leadership cadres in Afghanistan were destroyed and its Taliban supporters routed, U.S. planners shifted resources and focus to other Al-Qaeda cells and associates operating in dozens of countries around the world. The U.S. national leadership emphasized that these groupings--and other terrorist organizations as well-- constituted legitimate targets in the global war on terrorism. Among those targets receiving early attention from the U.S leadership was a small, violent Islamic group that-- despite origins in the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War--operates in the jungles, hills, towns, and coastal waters of the southern Philippines.1 This group is Abu Sayyaf , meaning Bearer of the Sword in Arabic, that has become noted for its ambushes of government forces, kidnappings, piracy, and the not infrequent beheading of captives.
