Crudo, SG',^/ 39 Qu.rd ?lla.alst'o %cwy: TWO FOR ONE Two things of importance I desire to dwell on in this my valedictory. One, nalurally, is my expression of gratitude, a deep and abiding one, lo my fellow officers in lhe Grand Lodge this year. Sincerely and significantly, I have only praise for their cooperation, their spirit of service beyond the usual call of duty, and their willingness lo go the second mile. My thanks also go to the office and administrative staffs in the Grand Lodge withoui whose unselfish cooperation and devotion to duty, the ed. ministralive reforms we have lnstituted could not have been fully carried out. We could have been less effective were lheir cooperaiion found wanling. And, importantly, my thanks go io the rank and file of Masonry in the Philippines and abroad within our grand iurisdiction who willingly imple- mented our suggeslions and direclives, ihe better for us, individual mem. berc, our lodges and our Grand Lodge, lo grow in sfature in the eyes of Masonry elsewhere in the world. My nexl thought has lo do wiih the welcome news ihat the Vatican has eased the ban on Catholics becoming Masons. Elsewhere in this issue is a spread of several pages on this importanl development in Church- Masonry relationship. As a maller of facl, the changed attitude of the Church puts an end lo cenluries-old rancour againsi our ancienl and honor- able fraternity. ln effecl, this aititude of the Church is a turning around in subsiance, though nol necessarily in form. fhe Canon Law was not actually repealed or amended; but the spirit of the recenl Vatican announcemeni has all bul wiped out in lhe books excommunication for Catholics who ioin Masonry. It looks more like the idea, "Go ahead, everything is all right, anyway." It is a good rhing that the Vatican announcement came on the heels of e growing interest in ecumenism especially on lhe part of the Catholics. While there is a line between ecumenism in religion and ecumenism in fraiernal relalion, there is hardly any of it now that the Vatican has spoken. However, we should not expecl loo much loo soon from lhe other side ecumenism-wise. For us Masons, who are the original ecumenisls from centuries back, the matter is so simple. But they who are nol used to it should be allowed to feel their way around. It is said thar the durian is a noxious and odoriferous fruit and many people shy away from ii for as long as they care. Perhaps, afler years of this impression, one suddenly decides to try it anyway and then, from the Turn to page 38 APRil., t968 I tdetouat; THE JO.DE.RAS CONFERENCE The week before we Masons gather in Manila for the annual communi' cation from April 23-25, the Jo-De.Ras will meet in Baguio from April 18-21 for iheir first annual conference. The communicaiion will be attended by Masons and the Jo-De-Ras conference will be attended by young people with Masonic heritage. The Jo-De-Ras is nol a new Order appended to Masonry like the lnter- national Order of Rainbow for Girls, or lhe lnternational Order of Job's Daughfers, or the Order of DeMolay. The way we undersland ii, it does nol replace any or all of these Orders, so dear as lhese Orders are already to Masons and Eastern Stars who have worked so hard lo get them going. With the sacrificial and untiring efforts of Masons and Easlern Stars, there ars now in lhe Philippines seven chapters of DeMolay, lhree assemblies of Rainbow and three bethels of Job's Daughters. Somewhere along the way, lhe way of progress and developmenl, lhe boys and girls of these existing Orders ihought it wise to ioin lheir efforts in locating their places and functions in a program of communiiy develop ment. They met and talked about what the older generalion has been saying aboul them being a pain in the neck especially during vacalion time. They decided rhar ii was time for ihem to prove that young people are nol as bad as they are piclured; ihar they are nol all trouble.making persons; that given ihe chance, lhey can do better than iust loaf, play and get into trouble. Hence, the young people of the three Orders decided lo meet as a larger group and find ways and means by which they can help their com' muniiies. They call lhemselves the Jo-De-Ras, a convenient combination of names, queer-sounding and without much significance. Their plan how. ever is big and significant. We are not preiudging them. lf rhey are sin. cere in their aims and obiectives, they can succeed. We will wair and see. We are reminded thai this is the first lime our young people are trying e program of rhis type. lf in our way of thinking, lheir proiect does nol rale our flnancial or moral supporl, the mosl we can give them is lolerance. We have it on good aulhority however, that many lodges, individual Masons as well as Easlern Slars are giving subsiantially to their fund for carrying out a successful conference. These Lodges and individuals have the right attitude. May lhere be more of them. lf these young people can have a successful conference lhis year, we would even go farther and say that this conference should be an annual evenl. They should look forward to more conferences, making each con' ference better than the last. They should subiugate their personal ambi' tions to the bigger obiective of making young people do things better than they are presumed to do. Confidence in them will make them confident in themselves. A 2 The Cabletow Hands clasped. a o K of C and Freemasonl MW Raymond E. Wilmarth.,.

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.

  • Educational Leaders As Change Agents Towards the Information Literate School
    Educational Leaders As Change Agents Towards the Information Literate School Maria Noemi M. MONCADA Public Secondary School Principal Department of Education Philippines Over the last decade, the development of new information and communication Technologies (ICT) has provided a variety of opportunities for people all over the world. But still, the vast majority of society remains untouched by the digital revolution, creating real disparities between and within countries and socio- economic groups. Undoubtedly, ICT plays a vital role in the future of our societies especially in Education. School heads, decision makers, local authorities and school librarians have significant role to play in the development of information literacy in schools. School principals trained in ICT should initiate information literacy in their schools and should provide support to secure cooperative deals and development aid. In the Philippine Educational System, schools located in affluent cities especially those schools in the capital are fully equipped with information infrastructure but too many schools in secondary cities and remote provinces are deprived of the tools to access information. Overview Information Literacy (IL) forms the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments and to all labels of education. Developing lifelong learners must be the central mission of all educational institutions, ensuring that individuals have the intellectual abilities of reasoning and critical thinking and helping them construct a framework for learning how to learn. In incorporating information literacy access curricula in all school programs and services requires the collaborative efforts of school principals, teachers and librarians. School heads should become information technology leaders in their school communities through lectures and by leading discussion, training, symposia, benchmarking and networking.

  • Platforms of Philippine Parties: the Politics of Expedience, 1902-1913
    PLATFORMS OF PHILIPPINE PARTIES: THE POLITICS OF EXPEDIENCE, 1902-1913 RA WLEIN SOBERANO The termination of American military rule at the turn of the cen- tury brought hope to many ·Filipino leaders that the transition to a civilian form of government would be smooth and easy. What they did not know was that the United States had other ideas concerning the length of time it would take between total American rule and· a measure of Filipino self-rule. Within a short time, however, new political parties mushroomed, equipped with various, seemingly divergent platforms, al1 claiming to promote the besr interests of the Islands. What was responsible for the birth of these political_parties? Did they have the welfare of the people at heart? Or did their leaders sec them as vehicles to instant fame and fortune at the expense of the honest hopes of their potential supporters? What was the general reaction of the American authorities? Were they enthusiastic about, or suspicious of these parties' goals? These and similar related questions will be the subject of this paper. The re-election of President William McKinley brought about the formation of the Partido Federal (Federal Party) which advocated paci- fication and annexation of the Philippines by the United States. Its members, who were prominent . Filipinos, were convinced that an American civilian government would soon be established in the Islands and some posts would be given to Filipinos to filL They felt that their 45 46 ASIAN STUDIES chances of getting these positions were _better if they acted as a group than if they were acting individually.

  • PHILIPPINE MILITARY HISTORY 1. BRIEF HISTORY of the AFP Pre
    PHILIPPINE MILITARY HISTORY 1. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE AFP Pre-Spanish Occupation The first recorded organized resistance against foreign aggressor took place in the Visayas during the Battle of Mactan on 27 Apr 1521 when the native chieftain named Lapu-lapu, the acknowledge father of the AFP fought against the Spaniards led by Magellan in the latter’s effort to subdue the former. Lapu-lapu refused to pay homage to the King of Spain. Under estimating the capability of the natives, the foreigners lost in the battle and Magellan was killed. Spanish Occupation Some islands of the archipelago were successfully occupied by the Spaniards. In 1570, they tried to land in Manila, however, the Muslim leader, Rajah Soliman resisted their effort. In 1571, Legaspi conquered Manila and made it as the capital of the Philippines. Pockets of rebellion took place. Notable of which was the uprising led by Diego Silang where he displayed his exemplary military leadership style and tactics in defeating the Spaniards. The Filipino soldiers were also organized to fight for Spain and to support some expeditions. Filipino forces were also sent to reinforce Spanish troops during the Chinese revolt in 1603. General Jose Prim dethroned Queen Isabela II of Spain in 1868. The latter espoused liberal principles of democracy. This paved the way for the exposure of the Filipinos in foreign culture leading to the development of strong sense of nationalism among Filipinos. The works of famous propagandists Marcelo H del Pilar, Graceano Lopez Jaena and Jose Rizal further nurtured the national spirit. Andres Bonifacio, who is considered as the father of the Philippine Army, founded a more radical group called the “Katipunan” on 7 Jul 1892.

  • History of the Senate
    History of the Senate Introduction The Spanish Period (1521-1898) The Malolos Congress (1898-1900) Philippine Commission (1900-1916) Philippine Assembly (1907-1916) Philippine Legislature (1916-1935) Commonwealth Congress (1935-1946) Congress of the Philippines (1946-1972) Present Congress of the Philippines Introduction The legislature in any society performs the important function of deliberating policies for the people and passing them in the form of statutes. Although the Philippine Legislature was organized only in 1916, it had deep roots in the past. Long before the Spanish rulers came to the Philippines, the people in their barangays were already governed by a set of rules by their chief. Over the long span of Spanish and American rule, various forms of legislative structures were set up to perpetuate the colonial rulers’ desire to rule the country. The Filipinos, just like other colonized people, fought for independence from colonial rule. During this struggle, they also recognized the critical role that a legislature could play in the movement for independence. After the victory over Spain, they established the Malolos Congress, based on their Constitution.
