Laranjo Notes on Contributors Foreword As a scholar and researcher of Korea Studies, it has always been amusing to read works that pertain to Korea. More so if they concern about the Philippines and Korea relations. The works of excellent Filipino scholars on topics about Korea and the Philippines in this volume are no exception. True to its name, HanPil, which literally means South Korea and the Philippines, never fails to cover numerous topics about both countries. In this volume, specific focus is on public policy, business, and mass media. Interestingly, various topics on such are what I teach in my classes on Korea as a professor of Korea Studies at the Asian Center and where many of my students from various disciplines are greatly interested in. In fact, they wrote their research papers on various topics such as Park Chung Hee’s economic policies, Korea’s business conglomerates, the chaebols (재벌) the present Korean government’s cultural policy, and the origins and spread of Korean culture globally, the so-called Hallyu (한류) under my tutelage. Thus, it is of great interest to read, examine, and question the researches of four scholars on topics listed below. In Shaping A New Institutional Regime for Regulatory Reform in the Philippines: Lessons from South Korea, Dr. Eduardo T. Gonzalez contends that in terms of regulatory policies which can give a push to developing economies, South Korea can teach developing countries including the Philippines its all-embracing regulatory method whereby the government “has adopted a whole-of-government approach by comprehensively charting the essential course of regulatory policy horizontally across different domestic regimes and vertically across levels of government.” This, South Korea has learned through time and through trials and errors. It is such a novel idea worth examining. Will such method succeed in the Philippine setting? It should be born in mind that there are other considerations i that need to be examined. Specific of which include differences in the socio- cultural and economic orientations of the two countries (and other countries as well) not to mention politics at play. Besides regulatory reforms, the Philippines seems to have wanted to experience the so-called South Korea’s ‘Miracle on the Han River’ (한강의 기적) and also hopes to ‘acquire’ such rapid economic development when it welcomed Hanjin’s investment in the country. This is what Dr. Grace Gorospe-Jamon argues in her study on Hanjin Philippines’ Shipbuilding Operations in the Philippines. She boldly claims that South Korea “transplanted its compressed modernity experience” which the Philippines gladly welcomed. She concludes, however, that this model along with South Korea’s weakening of trust in the Philippine government merely created problems in the end. Looking at it this way, it can be observed then that a breakneck economic development model that worked in South Korea after the Korean War (1950-53) cannot be replicated in the Philippine setting. If so, why not? Perhaps one aspect on culture could have been taken into consideration. Specifically, the Korean ppalli-ppali culture (빨리빨리) which literally means Hurry! Hurry! or getting things done quickly seems to run counter with Filipinos’ dahan- dahan way of doing things. This and other factors could be further explored as to why the ‘miracle’ in Korea cannot occur in the Philippines. In terms of South Korea’s skin products industry, meanwhile, the Philippines has become one its market in Southeast Asia. Dr. Erik Paolo Capistrano conveys the impression that Korea’s ppalli-ppalli culture is evident in Koreans’ way of doing business by pointing out the ‘fast fashion principle’ of South Korea in his study on Hallyu and corporate performance: The case of South Korean skin care companies in the Philippines. This principle demands “shorter lead times, faster turnovers, and high customer order fulfillment rates.” The consequence is unfortunate. With its emphasis on quantity along with the products’ high cost, he ii concludes that Korean products are not in great demand compared with other national and local brands despite the remarkable popularity of Hallyu in the country. He remarks, “Just because a Filipino adores a K-Pop idol, it does not necessarily mean that he or she will easily purchase the products that the K-Pop idol endorses, even if it is available in the country.” Thus, admiring Korean stars is one; purchasing the products they endorse is another. Given the said popularity of South Korea’s Hallyu in the country, it would not be a surprise to see on television and in newspapers reports about Korea. South Korea as a country and its citizens in mass media are the focus of Dr.Fernando dlC. Paragas, Queenie Rose Chico and Bea Mae Caloyloy’s study on A Critical Discourse Analysis of South Korea and its Citizens in Philippine News. They found out that true enough, Filipinos like Korean dramas because they share similar values with Koreans specifically love for family and respect for the elderly. Interestingly, when they examine the news, it is intriguing to learn that “there appears to be significant misunderstanding among Filipinos of the two Koreas and it would be interesting to discern the roots of such misinformation.” I agree. It would be indeed compelling to do so. Yet, would it not be intriguing to say that the media itself can be one source of such? Michelle Palumbarit, PhD Co-Researcher UP Korea Research Center iii Shaping a new institutional regime for regulatory reform in the Philippines: Lessons from South Korea Eduardo T. Gonzalez Korea Research Center University of the Philippines The challenge of regulatory policy The Philippines has to face up to huge challenges in regulatory reform in order to get rid of avoidable barriers to competition, innovation and growth. At the same time, it must ensure that new trends such as liberalization and globalization, and brisk technological advances efficiently serve important economic and social ends. As Stiglitz (2009) indicates, the uneven and contradictory impacts of globalization on growth and development in developing countries have raised the prospects for regulatory failures in open economies. Indeed, the country confronts an institutional “emergency” in regulation as new markets once reserved to the state are opened for competition, and as utility and network industries are increasingly privatized. The current regulatory environment is still typified by heavily regulated sectors (e.g., public utilities, banking, and insurance), on the one hand, and modestly regulated sectors (e.g., online businesses), on the other. Because of the fondness for “regulate first”, alternatives to regulations are largely sidestepped. Yet despite such inclination to favor heavy-handed regulation, statutory ambiguities and erratic responses persist (demonstrated lately by the Bangladesh Bank money laundering). As the traditional “business model” (based on state-owned monopolistic companies) gives way to more market-friendly approaches, a new and consistent regulatory framework that is efficient, accountable, and transparent is urgently needed. A fresh legal and administrative perspective is even more consequential in the light of ever increasing regulations that are triggered by new social demands, which in turn set off higher benchmarks for health, safety and security, professional competence, and environmental protection, among others. Without a breakthrough in the regulatory milieu, the country confronts an inevitable lock- in: once the status quo is too much advanced, it would be too costly and almost 1 impossible to change course and take on a different approach.

  • 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.

We examine this hypothesis by focusing on the textile and apparel industries in Southeast Asian countries, especially the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand. We found that there are two different kinds of value chains in these industries. In one, the lead firms are engaged in chemical fiber production, and, in the other, the lead firms are engaged in fast fashion retailing. The former is a producer-driven chain and the latter is a buyer-driven chain. In Southeast Asian countries today, we find these two different chains. Japanese chemical fiber producers during the 1960s and 1970s represented the former case, and today this type is found among Indian chemical fiber producers such as Reliance Industries, the Indorama group, and the Aditya Birla group.

Santos Japanese Language lecturer, Ateneo de Manila University Research field: Comparative Culture of Japan and the Philippines (see reference page for details) Foreword The Republic of the Philippines has a population of around 100 million. Its citizens enjoy a unique lifestyle influenced by a mixture of Asian, Spanish, and American culture. Filipinos also currently view Japan in a positive light. Geographically, it is surrounded by the South China, Celebes, and Philippine seas, and has a land area of around 300,000 square kilometres (around 80% of Japan’s land area). It is an archipelago of more than 7000 islands. Manila, in the National Capital Region of the Philippines, has favourable access conditions as one of the major cities in Asia. Moreover, with over 20 million inhabitants, it is also one of the world’s most populous cities. Nominal GDP in 2012 reached up to 250 billion dollars, an impressive increase of 6.6% compared to the rest of Asia. With the growth of the middle class population, and continuous urban development, Metro Manila is transforming into a comfortable and globalized metropolis. However, the Philippines is also faced with various political, social, and economic problems. The income disparity across the population is large, the high-income class makes up only 1% of the population, the middle-income class comprises around 9%, and the remaining 90% are low-income class.

Cañete Department of Information Communication, Yuan Ze University Abstract: As mirrors of culture, advertisements are believed to reflect values relevant to consumers. This research aims to examine whether the cultural values are reflected in online skincare advertisements between countries with different cultural influences and then further investigate what values consumers maintain and shift. Content analyses of online skincare advertisements and in-depth interviews with consumers in the Philippines and Taiwan were conducted in this study. The research focused in particular on how slogan values, brand prominence, and product prominence and context of online skincare advertisements can be manipulated in a strategic way to pass on implicit messages to the receiver. The results highlight that the notion of beauty in online skincare advertisements and the minds of consumers is socially and culturally constructed and its meanings are maintained and changed by social forces and globalized communication of advertising media. Keywords: Cross-culture, cultural values, online skincare advertising, globalization, beauty. 1 Corresponding author: Chih-Ping Chen, Discipline of Marketing, College of Management, Yuan Ze University, No. 135, Yuandong Rd., Zhongli Dist., Taoyuan City 320, Taiwan, E-mail: [email protected]. 128 Mirror of beauty: Cultural values reflected in online skincare advertising in the Philippines and Taiwan 1.
