Evalla October 2014 BSIT2-6 First President of the Philippines Era: President of the First Republic Constitutio 1899 Malolos Constitution n: Preceded position established by: Succeeded position abolished by: Inauguratio January 23, 1899, Barasoain Church, n: Malolos, Bulacan (aged 29) Capital: Malolos, Bulacan Vice Emilio Aguinaldo None President: January 23, 1899 – March 23, Revolutionary Apolinario Mabini (January 21-May 7, Prime leader 1899); Pedro Paterno (May 7- Emilio Minister: November 13, 1899) Aguinaldo was born on March 22, 1869, in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines. On January 1, 1896, Emilio Aguinaldo also known as Kapitan Miong married Hilaria del Rosario from Imus. They had five (5) children namely; Miguel, Carmen, Emilio Jr., Maria and Cristina. In 1898, he achieved independence of the Philippines from Spain and was elected the first president of the new republic under the Malolos Congress. He also led the Philippine-American War against U.S. resistance to Philippine independence. Aguinaldo died of a heart attack on February 6, 1964 in Quezon City, Philippines. I. Politics (Administration) General Emilio F. Aguinaldo established Dictatorship when he returned in Cavite after being exiled from Hong Kong, a month later Apolinario Mabini persuaded him to change his government into Revolutionary Government. It was also in his term when Malolos Republic having its own Congress, Constitution, and National and Local Administration was functioning as a government. It adopted the Spanish fiscal system; the same was done in the existing taxes. The main problem in his administration is that he was young and inexperienced and that there were no other president’s experiences before him to follow. II. Economics The economy is at its lowest state during the Fil-am war. Famine hits Filipino people. Even before the said war, the country is already experiencing a great mishap in economy because of Spaniards. Resources that belongs to the Philippines are continuously being taken, many landless Filipinos specially farmers and others willing to be treated as slaves just to earn for living. III. Programs (Reforms) War taxes and voluntary contributions were solicited from the people. A national loan was launched. President Aguinaldo ordered schools open. Elementary education was made compulsory and free. The Director of Public instruction appointed Enrique Mendiola, a Filipino instructor who founded "Instituto de Burgos". The school offer courses in agriculture, surveying, and commerce, as well as a complete A.B course. On October 1898 a government decree fixed the opening date of the "Universidad Literia". Courses offered were Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacy, and Notary Public. The President of the Philippines appointed the professors thereof. They, in turn, choose the University Highest Official. The first to occupy this position was Joaquin Gonzales. Later, he was succeeded by Dr. Leo Ma. Guerrero. IV. National Issues National issues within Aguinaldo’s presidency revolve in the Filipino-American war. Filipino army is not considered a real army because they lack qualities and proper training. On the first phase of the war, the Filipino outnumbered the Americans but our arms don’t have enough ammunition, funds and military supplies which resulted in defeat. Famine and illness due to war is also spreading in the country. V. Transnational Issues Citizens look unto the Americans as their hero from the Spanish people, but in reality the country did not gain a hero in Americans but a new conqueror. Benevolent Assimilation Proclamation reveals the hidden agenda of the Americans in helping the Philippines against the Spain. They wanted to drive away the Spaniards so they could replace them. Without the country knowing, under the Treaty of Paris Philippines is sold for $20 Million to the Americans by the Spain. This means that the control of the country is now in the hands of the Americans. Second President of the Philippines Era First President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines Constitutio 1935 Constitution n Amended 1935 Constitution Successor Sergio Osmeña Inaugurati November 15, 1935, Legislative Building, on Manila (aged 57) December 30, 1941, Malinta Tunnel, Corregidor (aged 63) November 15, 1943, Washington, D.C.

Quezon First term: November 15, 1935- 1941-August 1, 1944) before beingDecember elected 30, 1941 Ramon Avanceña (April 1, 1925- Second term: December 30, 1941- a representative Chief December 24, 1941) August 1, 1944 in 1907 Justice Jose Abad Santos (December 24, 1941- to the newly May 2, 1942) established Speaker of Gil Montilla (November 25, 1935- the December 30, 1938) Philippine National Jose Yulo (January 24, 1939-December Assembly. In 1909 Assembly 30, 1941) Quezon was appointed resident commissioner for the Philippines, entitled to speak, but not vote, in the U.S. House of Representatives; during his years in Washington, he fought for a speedy grant of independence by the U.S., which happened in 1935. I. Politics (Administration) Manuel Quezons’ Commonwealth administration is a presidential system of government with unicameral legislature. Filipinos reelected Quezon, Osmeña, and legislators to fill seats in the newly created bicameral congress on November 11, 1941. During his term, from the seven departments existing before his administration he added two more; the National Defense and Public Welfare. II. Economics Manuel L. Quezon made several institutions and programs to attend to the needs of the economy on his term. Healthy economy is hard to establish back then because we became independent on U.S. His effort to fix the economy was see on the Commonwealth Act No. 2 which established the National Economic Council, this act helps solve social imbalance, land maldistribution, provide land to the landless and farmers, provide housing and create an employment to the unemployed. III. Programs (Reforms) Commonwealth Act No. 1, President Manuel L. Quezon asks for General McArthur service to devise an effective yet affordable National Defense Plan for the Philippines. This defense plan was later abolished because 16 Million is not sufficient enough to fund the act. A compulsory military training for men age 20 in a period of 5 ½ months and pre-military training in high school was enforced. Quezon also push the standardization of ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) programs in colleges and universities. In response to social imbalance and land maldistribution; National Economic Council as an adviser and Social Justice Program that bought lands and distribute it to farmers and landless Filipinos. Law also requires a written agreement between farmers, tenants and landlords to protect citizens from an unfair rent increase. Court of Industrial Relations was established for the creation of Agricultural and Industrial Bank, National Land Settlement Administration and National Housing Commission to provide housing, National Relief Administration for calamities and for finding employment to the unemployed. Institute of National Language was established for studying the issue of choosing the country’s mother tongue; National Council of Education to guide the education policies, adult education program, for vocational schools, also in charge of the Education Act of 1940. He also makes Pilipino the national language. IV. National Issues Regaining independence is tough battle Filipino face and with Quezon it became possible. He fought for Philippines to be self-governed, prepared us to be independent from America and later on lead our country to its full independent government. He tried to solve problems inherited from Spanish and Americans Administrations, fought graft and corruption in the country, build up the national defense and strengthen economy that is dependent on the U.S. Filipino pays attention on choosing the mother tongue and because of this the Institute of Nat’l Language was created, he was known as “Ama ng Wikang Pambansa”. V. Transnational Issues Upon the Commonwealth Act No.1 America seems threaten because they held back weapons and showed lack of support for the defense plan. Still, Quezon aims for amity and friendship, fairness and square deals in the country’s relations with other nations, their citizens and subjects.

  • 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.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1961 Political Science, public administration University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE CONFLICT OF POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PRESSURES IN PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for tjie Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Harold Edmund Brazil, B, S., M. 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.

  • Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration
    Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu.

Abinales Shortly after government forces tear-gassed their way into one of Manila’s finest hotels on 29 November 2007 to flush out thirty-odd “rebels” and their civilian supporters, Philippine-focussed e-groups began debating the significance of what became known as the “Makati stand-off”.1 Among the most popular messages was a joke patterned after American late-night host David Letterman’s “Top Ten List”. Purporting to be an “Intel Info” released by the government’s National Intelligence Security Agency, it lists the “Top Ten Reasons Why [Navy Lieutenant Second Grade and Senator Antonio] Trillanes and Company Packed Up” and surrendered: 1. Not even his mother joined them. 2. Oakwood [the plush apartment complex Trillanes and comrades took over in an aborted 2004 coup] had a better lobby. 3. CNN was not there to cover it. 4. The hotel had run out of ice cubes. 5. The APCs [armed personnel carriers] were parked in the lobby, not in the parking lot. 6. Trillanes realized that being tear-gassed was not part of his mandate as senator. 7.

    1 PERFORMANCE OF THE SENATE Q FOURTEENTH CONGRESS Second Regular Session July 28,2008–June 3, 2009 Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile Sine Die Adjournment Speech June 3, 2009 A SENATE OF THE PEOPLE My distinguished colleagues in the Senate: When I assumed the leadership of the Senate almost seven months ago, I committed myself to discharge my duties as Senate President ac- cording to my best lights—according to my conscience and my notion of what is good for the country, for our people and for this Institution. It was, I remember, a period of uncertainty, with the global economic crisis casting a cloud of gloom across the nation. Fears of businesses closing shop, of massive job losses and of hunger were real, especially for our countrymen who can barely eke out a living. I issued a call to my colleagues and the entire leadership of this na- tion to act with a sense of urgency to address our people’s most serious problems and concerns as well as important national issues. It was imperative for the Senate to act: to give our people a sense of hope, and to restore their faith in their elected representatives and leaders to rise up to their expectation that we can offer solutions to their problems and difficulties in the face of the economic storm we are faced with. You and I know that there are external forces and events that are beyond our control. But what we can manage and muster is our ability to respond to those events. It is against this backdrop that we, the Senate, should measure what we have done and what we still need to do as we close the Second Regular Session of the 14th Congress.
