May 2007 _________________________________________ Prepared for The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. and The Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University Supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ____________________________________________ Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience I . The Philippine Diaspora Major Waves of Migration The Philippines is a country with a long and vibrant history of emigration. In 2006 the country celebrated the centennial of the first surge of Filipinos to the United States in the very early 20th Century. Since then, there have been three somewhat distinct waves of migration. The first wave began when sugar workers from the Ilocos Region in Northern Philippines went to work for the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association in 1906 and continued through 1929. Even today, an overwhelming majority of the Filipinos in Hawaii are from the Ilocos Region. After a union strike in 1924, many Filipinos were banned in Hawaii and migrant labor shifted to the U.S. mainland (Vera Cruz 1994). Thousands of Filipino farm workers sailed to California and other states. Between 1906 and 1930 there were 120,000 Filipinos working in the United States. The Filipinos were at a great advantage because, as residents of an American colony, they were regarded as U.S. nationals. However, with the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, which officially proclaimed Philippine independence from U.S. rule, all Filipinos in the United States were reclassified as aliens. The Great Depression of 1929 slowed Filipino migration to the United States, and Filipinos sought jobs in other parts of the world.

  • Part 1：Mall Culture and Brand Awareness Among the Socioeconomic Classes in Metro Manila
    Public-Interest Incorporated foundation Research Institute for High-Life Japan-Asia Collaborative Research Project Study report "The New Trends in Asian Urban Lifestyle" "The New Trends in Urban Lifestyle in Manila” (serial in 4 parts) Part 1：Mall culture and brand awareness among the socioeconomic classes in Metro Manila Principal Author: Carlos Luis L. 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.

(Santiago, 2017) • Addresses limitations of documents • Gathers insights and sentiments • More personal approach to recording history Oral History in the Philippines (Foronda, 1978) There is a scarcity of studies and literatures on the status and beginning of oral history in the country.

Oral history is one of these archival materials.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Felino Palafox, Jr. Private Sector-Led Vertical Urbanism in the Philippines 私营化推动菲律宾城市垂直化发展 Abstract The paper demonstrates the capacity of the private sector in initiating vertical urbanism and urban development in the Philippines. Private developers have led the successful development of the Makati Central Business District and the Rockwell Center, where the tallest buildings in the country are located. The paper hopes to draw inspiration from the urban planning done by private developers in Makati and Rockwell Center as a basis for other private developers to follow suit to create a more connected, accessible, and safe environment for mixed-income Felino Palafox and cross-generational residents. It is also aimed at creating a balance between high-density, high-rise developments and the surrounding urban sprawl by developing the latter into higher Felino Palafox density neighborhoods: from traffic and parking generators, public transit systems, to a more Palafox Associates convenient commute route for employees and executives. 11/F 6782 Ayala Avenue Makati City Keywords: Philippines, Vertical Urbanism, Cities, Urban Development, Private Sector Phillippines 1226 tel (电话): ++632.812.12.54 fax (传真): +632.893.91.97 摘要 email (电子邮箱): [email protected] www.palafoxassociates.com 本篇论文着重阐述菲律宾私营企业在发起竖向都市设计和都市开发中的作用，私营开发 Felino Palafox is an International Associate of the 商主导了马卡蒂市中心商业区（CBD）和Rockwell中心的开发，菲律宾的最高大厦就坐 American Institute of Architects, member of the Urban 落在这里。本文希望通过描述马卡蒂市CBD和Rockwell中心的开发，启发更多的私营开 Land Institute, American Planning Association, and the U.S.
