  • Philippine Law Journal Online
    PHILIPPINE LA W JOURNAL Vol. IV To write on the Manila Bar does not seem at the beginning to be a hard task; for Manila, besides being the metropolis of this Archipelago, is the focus of all Phil- . ippine activities. Consequently, anyone will expect to be able to search without much difficulty the data which are thereby necessary. But after reacting on this impression, it will be a surprise then to find out that by virtue of such a phenom- enon, if we may call it so, the facts are so confused and intertwined that it is not easy to distinguish those which are genuinely "Manilan" from those purely "Phil- ippine." Thus, in this article the Phil-ippine BaT is now and then treated of in con- nection with the Manila Bar proper, as the description of the latter would be incom- plete if the former is not mentioned even in the slightest degree. On account of its traditional importance, Manila was pred~sti~ed to be the birthplace of the oldest bar in the Philippines. The study of the jaw was started in these Islands in 1820,' when the law course in the University of Santo Tomas was opened with the teaching of the Institutes and the Spanish Civil Law. Hence, we can affirm with much safety that the first graduates of law in this ~niversity, nay in the Philippines, became members of the bar between the years 1825 and 1830. What was the exact bar to which they were admitted, nobody at present can ascer- tain. Yet it may be presumed that it was the Manila Bar since this city was looked upon as the all-important place in these Islands, and so it was natural for the majority, if not all, of the Philippine attorneys to practise therein their profession.

  • The Japanese Commercial Community of Prewar Manila
    Diversifying Urbanity: The Japanese Commercial Community of Prewar Manila Augusto Vicente de Viana, University of Santo Tomas, Philippines The Asian Conference on Cultural Studies 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Starting from a small group of transient peddlers and workers early in the 20th century, Manila’s Japanese commercial community became a diverse group of businessmen whose establishments contributed to the character to the city. Internal and external factors were responsible for the growth of the Japanese community in Manila that by the 1930s the commercial community numbered 250 establishments ranging from small shops to branches of big Japanese corporations such as Mitsui Bussan and Daido Boeki Kaisha (today’s Marubeni Corporation). Though the Japanese commercial community in the 20th century was a recent arrival and it was small compared to the communities of other nationalities its businessmen showed exceptional acumen that by the 1930s many things that a Filipino bought or ate passed through a Japanese merchant. Sections of Manila became known as “Manila’s Ginza” and “Little Tokyo” because of the presence of many Japanese establishments. As the decade of the thirties approached the 1940s the foreign community especially those of the Japanese faced the challenge of rising Filipino economic nationalism caused by the sentiment over the foreign domination of the Philippine economy. Instead of crumbling to the pressure the Japanese commercial community did not just survived but continued its expansion as it addressed the threats to its existence and it was prepared to defend its rights and gains through any means possible including force if necessary. Keywords: Japanese commercial community, survival, growth iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org The Reentry of Japan to the Philippines Japan’s isolation ended in 1854 following the Treaty of Kanagawa opening Japan to American commerce.
