The spirit of revolution is action, and it was the action of the millions of Filipinos who went to EDSA in February 1986 de- manding to be heard, armed with nothing but prayers, yellow shirts, and the courage to change things together, which ignited the People Power Revolution. The spirit of EDSA lives as long as Filipinos continue to come together, believing in the idea of a world that is common to all, revolutionizing our society even as we keep on building it. WikiPilipinas provides us with a place where our histories and memories can be represented, where we tell our stories and document our society through collaborating with fellow Filipi- nos all over the world. Memory is the basis of a nation’s survival, and the store of its knowledge is the true measure of its worth. Animated with the spirit of action, empowered by WikiPilipi- nas, the revolution comes alive.

    SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021 A Convergence of Filipino Worlds: An Onomastic Reading of Edgar Calabia Samar’s Janus Silang Novels Maria Rhodora G. Ancheta University of the Philippines-Diliman, Quezon City, the Philippines Abstract Edgar Calabia Samar’s Janus Silang book series is a significant body of contemporary young adult fantasy novels in the Philippines. Samar’s ambitious series that successfully melds alternate online tech -worlds, everyday Filipino life, and ancient supernatural, god-inhabited worlds, is worthy of study. In creating this fantasy world, the Janus Silang series underscores the richness of Filipino mythology and lore by cohesively layering these lived worlds by way of spatial and temporal play. This paper wishes to study the value of this “world(s)-building”, entering this by way of the study of onomastics, the study of proper names of all kinds and the origins of names. Using both toponomastics and anthroponomastics, or the study of place names and human naming, respectively, this inventive, powerful focus on naming solidifies the Janus Silang series’ development of unique Filipino characters and narratives and its reintroduction of the cultures of its imaginary worlds for young, contemporary Filipino and global readers.

  • Philippines Legends and Myths
    Philippines Legends and Myths Do spirits and divinities live in the remote hills? Do fairies bless and fulfill innocent wishes? Are these myths and legends entwine with Philippines? Which of these stories are inseparably related with Philippines and believed from generations to generations? To know, read on... The Philippines is a country in Southeast Asia comprising of 7,107 islands in the western Pacific Ocean. As it has many islands and is inhabited by different ethnic groups, Philippines legends and myths are very diverse. Its mythology includes a collection of tales and superstitions about mythical creatures and entities, which are still believed by many Filipinos. Philippines Mythology Filipinos believe in many mythological creatures, one of them is the Aswang, a ghoul or vampire, an eater of the dead and a werewolf. They also believe in the Dila (the tongue), a spirit that passes through the bamboo flooring of provincial houses and licks certain humans to death. Filipinos also have some other mythological entities like Diwata and Engkanto (fairies), Kapre (a tree-residing giant), Sirena (mermaids), Tikbalang (demon-horses), Siyokoy (mermen), Mambabarang (spirit-summoners), Tiyanak (demon-infants) and Duwende (dwarfs). The prevalence of beliefs in these entities are more strong in the provinces. Some of the common myths are: • According to Philippine myths, ancient people believed in one supreme God, who is the creator of the world. But contradictory to this, there was another myth that said the creation of the world was not the work of a supreme being but rather the outcome of a struggle between hostile forces. • According to the different regional groups, once upon a time the sky was low and the universe was made up of many layers, with each layer inhabited by different kinds of beings.

  • Re-Animating Philippine Cinema: for Filipinos, by Filipinos
    Re-animating Philippine Cinema: For Filipinos, By Filipinos Maria Paulina P FLORENTINO University of the Philippines Manila Abstract This study explores the Philippine animation industry in terms of its original local content through the eyes of Filipino animators. It is a brief chronicle of Filipino animated films throughout the years, particularly film entries to the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) and Animahenasyon, from 2007 to 2016. These films were proudly made by Filipino animators and captured the essence of being a Filipino. With the talent and creativity of Filipino animators, they are constantly pursued to create content for foreign animation studios. This has led to a boom in animation subcontracting. However, with the flourishing business side of animation comes the breakdown of the local animation industry. With the preference of working as “in-betweeners,” Filipino animators have devoted their talent to assembly line-type of work instead of bringing to life characters that are uniquely their own. To trace the "re-animation" of the Philippine animation industry, this study draws attention to how Filipino culture is manifested in the animated films included in the study. Along with this, an analysis of MMFF and the Animahenasyon as main platforms for animated films and their roles in the distribution and exhibition of animated films are presented. The study is able to affirm the presence of original local content in the selected animated films from MMFF and Animahenasyon. Despite the challenges faced by Filipino animators, the original local content of the animation industry is blooming and defying expectations. Filipino animated films are reflective of the aspirations of its people and the nation's socio-political issues, mythology, and folklore.

  • Stewardship Towards God's Creation Among Early
    Bedan Research Journal (2019) Stewardship Towards God’s Creation Among Early Filipinos: Implications to Inculturated Faith James Loreto C. Piscos College of Arts and Sciences San Beda University, Manila, Philippines [email protected] Abstract An integral inculturated faith is anchored to the Filipino cultural heritage and identity. Primal cosmic beliefs and practices carried the holistic customs of stewardships towards God’s creationABSTRACT where it embodied the union and mutuality of the natives to nature rather than control and subordination. The research utilized primary materials written by Spanish ethnographers in the 16th-17th century. Although their observations were from the colonizers’ perspectives, it still revealed beliefs and practices at that time common among early Filipinos. One needs to filter and decipher those accounts to unearth early Filipinos experiences of oikenomous. Although the study was limited to the Tagalogs, still the dynamics of power-relations between the inhabitants and nature were demonstrated using the lenses of Foucault’s discourse on power. The findings of the research could have implications to inculturated faith given the open atmosphere of the Church for its renewed evangelization that includes stewardship towards God’s creation where harmony and communion with Mother Earth strengthens our bonds with God and find each other in a place we truly call a home. Keywords: Stewardship, Early Filipinos, Power-Relations, Inculturated Faith Copyright © 2019 by San Beda University 2 J. Piscos Preliminary Remarks Stewardship can be viewed as an engagement to manage a household. Literally this is what its etymology implies. The Greek word oikenomous which is the origin of stewardship denotes that a person only manages but not owns the household.
