University of Santo Tomas MIGUEL DE BENAVIDES LIBRARY News In-Print University of Santo Tomas MIGUEL DE BENAVIDES LIBRARY March 2017 http://library.ust.edu.ph/about-us.html This “Special Issue” is dedicated in grateful memory of the late Fr. Fidel Villarroel, O.P. who was Prefect of Libraries from 1979-1991. MARCH 2017 │ 1 From Fr. Fidel’s personal file) FIDEL VILLARROEL was born in Tejerina (Leon, Spain) on March l8, 1929. He took up secondary studies at the Dominican schools of La Mejorada and Santa Maria de Nieva from 1940 to 1945. After entering the Dominican Order in 1945 in the Convent of Avila, he pursued Philosophy and Theology courses at the House of Studies of the same Prefect of Libraries, UST Library Convent, finishing his ecclesiastical career in 1953 with the degree of STL (Lector of (1979-1991) Sacred Theology). He was ordained priest in 1952. Then he continued his postgraduate UST Archivist (1959-1997; training at the University of London, from which he earned the degree of Master of Arts 1995-2008) in 1957. Fr. Villarroel was assigned to the Philippines and to the University of Santo Tomas where he obtained the degree of PhD (Major in History) in 1972. Since his arrival in 1957 he has served the University in various administrative and teaching posts: Head of the Spanish Department (1957-1982); Archivist (1958-1991, 1995-2006); Prefect of Libraries (1978-1991). At the same time, he has been Professor of Church History in the Faculty of Theology from 1963 to 2009. For thirty two years he worked at the Apostolic Nunciature of Manila as Assistant Secretary (1959-1991). As a Dominican, he has acted, from 1977 to 2009, as Provincial Promoter of the Canonization Causes of his Dominican Province of the Holy Rosary. He has devoted most of his academic life to historical research, especially in the field of Philippine history. Some of his works are: Apolinario Mabini (Manila 1964); Father Jose Burgos, University Student (Manila 1971); Jose Rizal and the University of Santo Tomas (Manila 1984); Lorenzo Ruiz, the Protomartyr of the Philippines and his Companions (Manila 1979); Un siglo de Apostolado: Religiosas Misioneras de Santo Domingo (Rome 1993); Cruzada espanola en Vietnam (Madrid 1972); El P. Antonio Gonzalez, Martir (Leon 1981); Shih-Lu, Apologia de la verdadera religion (Manila 1986); The Dominicans and the Philippine Revolution (1896-1903) (Manila, 1999). As Provincial Promoter of Beatification and Canonization Causes, Fr. Villarroel wrote two Positiones (to use the Latin language of the Holy See). They are the Positio super Martyrio (Rome 1979), the historical study on 16 martyrs of Nagasaki (including the Filipino Lorenzo Ruiz) beatified by Pope John Paul II in Manila in 1981; and the two- volume Positio super Martyrio (Rome 1995), a similar study on the 38 Dominicans and 4 Marianists martyrs of the religious persecution in Spain during the Civil War of 1936- 1939. He also collaborated in the beatification Cause of the Philippine-born Mother Francisca del Espiritu Santo, Foundress of the Beaterio de Santa Catalina, Manila, for which he has presented in two volumes of historic document. From 1974, Fr. Villarroel was Member of the “Academia Filipina, Correspondiente de la Real Academia Española”; in 1982 he was nominated “Outstanding Thomasian Awardee” for Historical Research. This prolific saint-maker ended his life term last Sunday, Oct. 24 2016 at 6:05 p.m. at the UST Hospital following multiple organ failure. Fr. Fidel was 87. 2 │ MARCH 2017 Award 2.

Actually, that was the very same question I asked when the information was conveyed to me. Much as I am so thankful for it, I also believe it was more than the strong recommendation of a very good friend that had put me in that place. Is it not perhaps owing to being privileged to know him, his work, his values, his perspective, within the period of thirty-eight (38) years (starting from my student years) with almost two decades of those spent in the course of research and writing? Humbled as I was, I accepted that honor as well as this chance to share the joy of knowing Rev.

    The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from theF ar East: Cardinal Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894) Levine Andro H. Lao1 Center for Theology, Religious Studies and Ethics University of Santo Tomás, Manila, Philippines Abstract: In light of the celebration of the five centuries of Christianity in the Philippines, this article hopes to reintroduce Fr. Zeferino González, OP, to scholars of Church history, philosophy, and cultural heritage. He was an alumnus of the University of Santo Tomás, a Cardinal, and a champion of the revival of Catholic Philosophy that led to the promulgation of Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris. Specifically, this essay presents, firstly, the Cardinal’s biography in the context of his experience as a missionary in the Philippines; secondly, the intellectual tradition in Santo Tomás in Manila, which he carried with him until his death; and lastly, some reasons for his once-radiant memory to slip into an undeserved forgetfulness. Keywords: Zeferino González, Thomism in Asia, Aeterni Patris, Christian Philosophy, History of Philosophy n the 1880s, the University of Santo Tomás had two grand celebrations that were associated with Fr. Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894). The first pompous festivity was held in 1880 when the University received Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris;2 the second was when Fray Zeferino (as how I1 Levine Andro Hernandez Lao can be contacted at [email protected].

Liwanag Visayas State University Abstrak: Ang proyektong ito ay pangunahing presentasyon ng mga panimulang pilosopiya ni Isabelo de los Reyes (1864-1938), isang manunulat at mamamahayag na may malawak na kontribusyon sa iba’t ibang periyodikal na umiinog sa kasaysayan, folklore, wika, politika, at relihiyon. Gayunman, hindi naging sentro ng pagkilala at pagpapahalaga sa kasaysayan ang mga kontemporanyong tulad ni de los Reyes kumpara sa mga kapwa- intelektwal na nanatili sa Europa katulad ni Rizal. Hangarin ng pag-aaral na ito na balikan ang bulto ng kanyang mga akda mula sa yugto ng kanyang paghuhubog mula 1864 hanggang 1889.

  • Silver Anniversary Issue
    USThomasian Silver Anniversary Issue USTMAAA FOUNDATION SILVER ANNIVERSARY SOUVENIR PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT 2 SOUVENIR PROGRAM MESSAGE OFFICE OF THE RECTOR MAGNIFICUS USTMAAA FOUNDATION SILVER ANNIVERSARY USTMAA Grand Reunion and Medical Convention The color silver has a very important signification in memorable events and celebrations. It is a color that is both shiny and subtle which denotes the formidable combination of brilliance and sophistication. When we celebrate silver anniversaries, we often associate it with longevity and stability, which means that it has passed the test and stood the test of time. Silver echoes a string of essential accomplishments for the past twenty five years which signifies a commemoration, an acknowledgment, and solid achievement. In color psychology, they say that silver restores equilibrium; it is the color of glamour, wealth, modernity, and prestige. That is why we have a very good reason to rejoice and celebrate when an organization or establishment reaches its 25th year. This year the University of Santo Tomas Medical Alumni Association of America Foundation (USTMAAA) will be celebrating its 25th anniversary via a medical convention and a grand reunion, and once again it would surely be an unforgettable time for our Thomasian medical practitioners to be together, to renew friendships, and simply to have fun by reminiscing the good old days. Like silver, our Thomasian doctors have carved an enviable niche in the medical firmament as they continue to make a mark in their profession as top-caliber medical experts. It also gives me so much joy that our dear alumni have such strong ties with each other and with the University.

  • Santo Tomas De Manila: the First University of the Philippines
    Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary 21 OUR LADY OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY This world-famous statue of Our Blessed Mother and the Infant Jesus is one of the rarest treasures of the Philippine Islands. Carved by pagan Chinese under the supervision of Captain Hernando de los Rios, the renowned image was presented to the Dominican Fathers in 1595 by Luis Perez Das Marinas, Governor of Manila. The mas­ terpiece, more than seven feet in height, represents Our Lady ten­ derly bearing the 01ild Jesus in her left arm. The face and hands of both Mother and Son are of delicately carved, solid ivory. A third figure, Saint Dominic, completes the group. He is seen kneeling at the foot of the statue, receiving the Rosary from the Queen and King of heaven and earth. Enshrined within the "Iglesia de Santo Domingo," Manila's proto-<:hurch, the image has been exposed to the same dangers that on many occasions have completely destroyed the great Dominican edifices. Fire (1645), earthquake (1863), and Japanese bombs (De­ cember, 1941), each took turns beating down those venerable struc­ tures, but the image has never been damaged, even in the slightest degree. This is one of the reasons why Filipinos attribute miraculous powers to it. For nearly three and one half centuries they have placed themselves under the protection of Mary, Queen of the Ro­ sary. And today, more. than ever before, they have turned to her image in the charred ruins of Santo Domingo for guidance during their present trials and for a comforting sign of peace for the future.
