Copyright © 2006 Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal Association IT’S ALL THE RAGE: POPULAR UPRISINGS AND PHILIPPINE DEMOCRACY † Dante B. Gatmaytan Abstract: Massive peaceful demonstrations ended the authoritarian regime of Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines twenty years ago. The “people power” uprising was called a democratic revolution and inspired hopes that it would lead to the consolidation of democracy in the Philippines. When popular uprisings were later used to remove or threaten other leaders, people power was criticized as an assault on democratic institutions and was interpreted as a sign of the political immaturity of Filipinos. The literature on people power is presently marked by disagreement as to whether all popular uprisings should be considered part of the people power tradition. -
Public Policy and Agrarian Reform in the Philippines
Sensemaking Under Martial Law: Public Policy and Agrarian Reform in the Philippines Carl Montaño Lamar University Lynn Godkin Lamar University This paper presents a case study of governmental sensemaking under martial law in the Philippines under President Ferdinand Marcos. Data was gathered about the Agrarian Reform Program in particular through: a) personal interviews with decision makers involved in the Agrarian Reform Program; b) non- participants who observed the program in action; and c) an extensive search of available primary and secondary sources. Contemporary understandings of sensemaking unavailable during the Marcos era are applied to his initiative. It was determined that many of the elements of sensemaking were associated with the Agrarian Reform Program in the Philippines, as were various triggers stimulating such sensemaking as well. Land tenancy and related agrarian problems were afflictions of Filipinos long before the first Americans arrived (McLennan, 1973). Sharecropping and debt peonage were already in place in the Philippines before the Spanish conquest, which began in 1565 (Murray, 1972). Both Spanish and American mindsets discounted the traditional communal concept of land ownership. Indigenous tribes that shared ancestral hunting and planting grounds deeply resented the ―Christian‖ intrusion into the lands (Bauzon, 1975). When the Spanish arrived from Central and South America, they introduced caciquism and individual ownership of land. Leaving traditional village structure virtually in place, a village headman, known by the Carib term cacique, was given authority in each locale. The caciques, as tax collectors, were in a position to preserve their power and increase personal landholdings. Peasants, who had lived communally for generations, unwittingly became tenants or were driven from the land entirely (Murray, 1972; Pelzer, 1948). -

Regional Office Profile
REGIONAL OFFICE PROFILE Diosdado Macapagal Regional Government Center Brgy. Maimpis, City of San Fernando Pampanga BRIEF HISTORY Republic Act 9165 or otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 was signed into by then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on June 7, 2002. The new anti-drug law repealed Republic Act 6425 or known as the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972. The effectivity of RA 9165 on July 07, 2002, gave birth to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) which serves as the implementing arm of the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB); it is responsible for the efficient and effective law enforcement of all the provisions on dangerous drugs, controlled precursors as provided in the Act. Section 84 of RA 9165 provides, among others, that PDEA shall establish and maintain regional offices in the different regions of the country which shall be responsible for the implementation of said law and its policies, programs, and projects in the respective regions. Pursuant to the aforecited provision of law, seventeen (17) regional offices including RO III was established. AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY PDEA Regional Office 3 covers seven (7) provinces, namely: Aurora, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Zambales, Bulacan, and Tarlac; 128 Municipalities/Cities and two (2) chartered cities; Angeles City and Olongapo City, and 3,102 Barangays. Region 3 lies at the heart of Luzon. It has the largest contiguous lowland in Philippine Archipelago. Its total mass of 1.8 million or 18,230 square meters is 7.1 percent of the total land area of the country. Only 66 kilometers away from Metro Manila, Central Luzon contains the largest plain in the country and is the gateway to the Northern Luzon regions. -

My Retrospective on ASEAN
My Retrospective on ASEAN Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo The Philippines hosted the ASEAN Summit in Cebu, Phi lippines, in January 2007, when I was President of the country. At that Summit, we declared our strong commitment to accelerate the establishment of an ASEAN community by 2015. It was a pivotal period in ASEAN’s development. Maphilindo I would like to think that ASEAN had a forerunner in the brief Maphilindo union founded in a Manila summit in 1963 among Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, when my father, Diosdado Macapagal, was President of the Philippines. He was then reviving the dream of a united Malay race which went back much earlier, to Filipino heroes like Wenceslao Vinzons in our 1935–1940 Commonwealth period under American tutelage, and the father of Filipino nationalism himself, ‘The Great Malay’ Jose Rizal. 55 My father believed that after centuries of colonial rule, the three Malay countries should work together on ‘Asian solutions for Asian problems’, following the Musyawarah principle of mutual consultation. Indonesian President Sukarno helped flesh out this vision during frequent trips to Manila, and Malaya’s Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman later came on board. At the Manila summit, the three declared that initial steps should be taken towards the establishment of Maphilindo by holding frequent and regular consultations at all levels, to be known as Musyawarah Maphilindo. The summit statement also enunciated what might well have been ASEAN’s own tenets: ‘This Conference ... has greatly strengthened the fraternal ties which bind their three countries and extended the scope of their cooperation and understanding, with renewed confidence that their governments and peoples will together make a significant contribution to the attainment of just and enduring peace, stability and prosperity in the region.’ Though Maphilindo was short-lived, the dream lived on. -

Enduring Story of the People's Theater in the Philippines
Rebecca & Ruby - Sarsuwela In Sarsuwela SARSUWELA IN SARSUWELA: ENDURING STORY OF THE PEOPLE’S THEATER IN THE PHILIPPINES Rebecca T. Añonuevo & Ruby Gamboa Alcantara Abstract The Sarsuwela is a meaningful tradition in the Philippine drama. Unfortunately, the contemporary use of the term “sarsuwela” in mass media refers to the antics of politicians that have tainted the word. This paper explores the real meaning of the sarsuwela since its separation from the colonial Zarzuela of Spanish origin. The sarsuwela in our setting is not only theater as entertainment and spectacle but theater as a community and expression of the Filipino soul and aspirations. Using the combined power of language and music as well as poetry and footwork, the Philippine sarsuwela continues to be relevant, intense, and resilient as a form of social commentary. Keywords: Sarsuwela, Zarzuela, social commentary, mass media, and theater Introduction It is a sad disservice that the term “zarzuela” is used not a few times in derogatory manner in the Philippines. Only recently a senior columnist in one of the national papers used “zarzuela” to refer to what he observed as public entertainment between a member of the Congress and the First Gentleman’s lawyer’s verbal tussle over the alleged multi-billion bank account stashed away abroad by the republic’s First Couple. Why the writer would parallel the antics of politicians to a national form of theater that enthralled audiences for centuries here and abroad reveals either a lack of knowledge, if not a blunt sensibility to the cultural development and history of the genre. On second thought however perhaps the scene is not so strange if we go back to an early accusation against the zarzuela: a “buffoonery” to the assessment of a sullen critic in 17th century Madrid because it lacked the exalted and serious form of the Italian opera patronized by the royal court and the elite in society. -
President Macapagal and the Maphilindo
THE DREAM OF MALAYAN UNITY: PRESIDENT MACAPAGAL AND THE MAPHILINDO Augusto V. de Viana University of Santo Tomas Manila, Philippines Abstract In July 1962, a proposal to form a greater Malayan Confederation was proposed by President Diosdado Macapagal. This proposal was to include the Philippines, the Federation of Malaya and the British territories of Singapore, Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo. The proposal would have been a realization of a Malaya Irredenta which was dreamed of by visionaries like Wenceslao Vinzons who once made an oration advocating for the unity of Malayan people working toward a common destiny. The opportunity came near as colonial powers were liquidating their possessions in post-World War II Asia, Already an earlier association, the Association of Southeast Asia was formed in 1961 and this association included non-Malay countries. The Malayan confederation which would be called MAPHILINDO was to be different. On August 5, President Macapagal issued his declaration calling for the creation of MAPHILINDO. The formation of the MAPHILINDO was met with jubilation as it was the realization of a centuries-old vision and the culmination of the anti-colonial struggle. The organization however floundered because of significant problems among the three countries. It led into a diplomatic crisis that had the possibility of widespread armed conflict. MAPHILINDO floundered and was later superseded by the present Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Despite its stillbirth the formation of the MAPHILINDO demonstrated fraternal relations in dealing with problems and issues among the three states of Malay origin. Key words: Malay union, Confederation, Sabah Claim, Konfrontasi The dream of a united Malayan homeland traces its origin to the colonial era.
