His is a life of self-giving and generosity—serving the nation with unquestionable integrity as a member of the judiciary, serving the Ateneo for more than 60 years now through his excellent mentorship at the law school, advocating the just causes of his clients—big and small—in his private practice, and being a devoted husband and loving Jfather of five sons. Hector Hofileña earned his Bachelor of Arts _ degree, magna cum laude, and his Bachelor of Laws = degree, cum laude, at the Ateneo de Manila in 1951 and 1954, respectively. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1955. He started teaching at the Ateneo College of Law in 1957 and was its registrar from 1958 to 1994. At the time, he taught Persons and Family Relations, Property, Succession, Administrative Law, Conflict of Laws, and Legal and Judicial Ethics. While a faculty member of the law school, he was also engaged in the practice of law, as assistant attorney in the Deogracias T Reyes Law Office and later in the Angel S Gamboa Law Office, and subsequently, as a partner in the Gamboa & Hofileña Law Office and in the Guingona, Nepomuceno & Hofileña Law Office. He was also a general counsel of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines in 2007. He was a “full-time, full-service, hands-on lawyer” in his private practice. “Day in and day Photos courtesy of dean jose maria g hofileña yearbook images from the ateneo de manila university archives 2021 TRADITIONAL UNIVERSITY AWARDS 5 LUX IN DOMINO AWARD out, he would conscientiously plod away, advising and advocating the just causes of clients, big and small. His work as a private practitioner continued even when he left his office for the day, as he often brought his files and legal resources…home with him. He would regularly spend a good portion of the evenings, weekends, and holidays crafting pleadings and documents,” wrote his son Jose Maria ‘Joey’ Hofileña, current dean of the Ateneo Law School. In 1994, Hector Hofileña was appointed associate justice of the Court of Appeals. Justice Hofileña invariably rendered his decisions in accordance with the law and the principles of justice. He was known in the judiciary for his competence, unimpeachable integrity, and strong work ethic. He retired from the bench in 1999. Joey wrote, “He would work beyond office hours L and weekdays…taking home voluminous case files for his review, and personally drafting up his rulings work in the judiciary, but it is probably in on his bedroom table.

The title of the Award is the Ateneo motto, taken from St Paul (Ephesians 5:8). The phrase lux in Domino, “light in the Lord,” traces an ideal and sketches a way of life that the university promotes and Lupholds for all of its sons and daughters. mentorship beyond his alma mater, to a school that For a life lived in the service of country and gives free education to underprivileged residents the Faith, and according to the noblest ideals of of Manila. his alma mater, the Ateneo de Manila University He also gives pre-bar and pre-week lectures in confers on Hector L Hofileña the 2021 Lux in Property, Legal and Judicial Ethics, and Practical Domino Award.

He was also appointed by the Supreme Court as bar examiner for Civil Law in the 1996, 2000, and 2001 bar examinations. Justice Hofileña has had many accomplishments in his professional life—as an associate justice, a private law practitioner, and a teacher of law. They are testaments to his brilliance and his commitment to service, the practice of law, legal ethics, and the education of future lawyers. But more than these successes, his loving relationship with his wife and five accomplished sons, all of whom share his passion for service, is probably his greater achievement.

Remmy Rikken had established a career in accountancy when she decided to work in social Rdevelopment. After a post-graduate course in m economics at the Asian Social Institute, she worked for different Catholic dioceses and agencies in Mindanao, organizing farmers and communities parangal lingkod sambayanan around land and tenancy issues. She expanded her development work to other fields, theater in particular, when she helped organize the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) in the 1970s to focus on staging politically- and socially-oriented plays, and on using drama as a tool for pedagogy. At around this time, Remmy met three women who would be her longtime fellow advocates in the promotion of women’s rights. These were Remedios Teresita Quintos-Deles, Irene Santiago, and Sr Mary John Mananzan OsB, whom Remmy first met in a consultation meeting of leaders of the Association of Foundations. In that meeting, Ignacio Photos courtesy of the PhiliPPine commission on Women, elizabeth yang (PiliPina inc) and teresita Quintos-deles RiRSRikken 2021 TRADITIONAL UNIVERSITY AWARDS 9 PARANGAL LINGKOD SAMBAYANAN all four women noted that even in a gathering of the most socially-aware leaders, the “woman question” was never addressed. Among themselves, and outside the consultation proper, the four women found themselves constantly engaged in a discussion of women’s issues. This led to the founding of PiliPiNa, the first feminist organization in the country, which envisioned a “Philippines where women possess dignity, autonomy, and equality” (Santos- Maranan, Perrena, and Fabros, Women's Political Participation in the Philippines, 2007) and engaged in social work and capacity-building for women. PiliPiNa was formed in 1981, two years before the assassination of Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino. In the massive protest movement following the death of Ninoy, Remmy became an active organizer against the Marcos dictatorship.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

A» The Ohio S tate U niversity 1961 Approved by Adviser Co-Adviser Department of Political Science PREFACE The purpose of this study is to examine the National Economic Council of the Philippines as a focal point of the contemporary life of that nation. The claim is often made that the Republic of the Philippines, by reason of American tutelage, stands as the one nation in the Orient that has successfully established itself as an American-type democracy. The Philippines is confronted today by serious econcanic problems which may threaten the stability of the nation. From the point of view of purely economic considerations, Philippine national interests would seem to call for one line of policy to cope with these economic problems. Yet, time and again, the Philippine government has been forced by political considerations to foUcw some other line of policy which was patently undesirable from an economic point of view. The National Economic Council, a body of economic experts, has been organized for the purpose of form ulating economic p o licy and recommend­ ing what is economically most desirable for the nation.

I submit this Opinion to further clarify my position. Prefatory The rule of law we swore to uphold is nothing but the rule ofjust law. The rule of law does not require insistence in elaborate, strained, irrational, and irrelevant technical interpretation when there can be a clear and rational interpretation that is more just and humane while equally bound by the limits of legal text. The Constitution, as fundamental law, defines the mm1mum qualifications for a person to present his or her candidacy to run for President. It is this same fundamental law which prescribes that it is the People, in their sovereign capacity as electorate, to determine who among the candidates is best qualified for that position. In the guise of judicial review, this court is not empowered to constrict the electorate's choice by sustaining the Commission on Elections' actions that show that it failed to disregard doctrinal interpretation of its powers under Section 78 of the Omnibus Election Code, created novel jurisprudence in relation to the citizenship of foundlings, misinterpreted and misapplied existing jurisprudence relating to the requirement of residency for election purposes, and declined to appreciate the evidence presented by petitioner as a whole and instead insisted only on three factual grounds j Concurring Opinion 2 G.R.

  • The Celebrity's Right to Autonomous Self-Definition
    65 THE CELEBRITY’S RIGHT TO AUTONOMOUS SELF-DEFINITION AND FALSE ENDORSEMENTS: ARGUING THE CASE FOR A RIGHT OF PUBLICITY IN THE PHILIPPINES Arvin Kristopher A Razon* Abstract With the Philippines being the top country in terms of social media usage, social media platforms have expanded opportunities for celebrities to profit from their fame. Despite the pervasiveness of celebrity culture in the country and the increasing number of unauthorised celebrity advertisements in such platforms, the right of publicity does not explicitly exist in Philippine law. This paper explains that the lack of an explicit statute-based right of publicity does not mean that it does not exist in common law or other statutory law. Centred on the minimalist path of law reform, the paper argues that the existing right to privacy in Philippine law can justify a right to publicity, anchored on the right to protect unwarranted publicity about oneself regardless of one’s status in the public eye, as well as on the right to autonomous self-definition. The illustrative cases in this paper evidence the hurt feelings celebrities suffer from unwanted publicity. A publicity right also exists as a property right under local intellectual property laws on unfair competition. I. Introduction The opportunity to economically exploit one’s name, likeness or identity, often through celebrity endorsements, is a perk that comes with being a celebrity.1 The internet, particularly social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, has expanded the opportunities for celebrities to profit from their fame, providing them with another channel by which they can endorse brands to a global audience, * BA Organizational Communication (magna cum laude), Juris Doctor (University of the Philippines), LLM (University of Melbourne); Lecturer, De La Salle University.

Flores The criticism of Alice Guillermo presents an instance in which the encounter of the work of art resists a series of possible alienations even as it profoundly acknowledges the integrity of distinct form. The critic in this situation attentively dwells on the material of this form so that she may be able to explicate the ecology and the sociality without which it cannot concretize. The work of art, therefore, becomes the work of the world, extensively and deeply conceived. Such present-ness is vital as the critic faces the work in the world and tries to ramify that world beyond what is before her. This is one alienation that is calibrated. The work of art transpiring in the world becomes the work of the critic who lets it matter in language, freights it and leavens it with presence so that human potential unerringly turns plastic, or better still, animate: Against the cold stone, tomblike and silent, are the living glances, supplicating, questioning, challenging, or speaking—the eyes quick with feeling or the movements of thought, the mouths delicately shaping speech, the expressive gestures, and the bodies in their postures determined by the conditions of work and social circumstance.
