In spite of nearly five hundred years of language documentation in the Philippines, and at least a century of work in Borneo and Sulawesi, the majority of these languages remain grossly underdocumented, and an alarming number of languages remain almost completely undocumented. This dissertation reports on the results of a decade of work aiming to address this lack of language documentation, with the author having conducted fieldwork on over three hundred speech varieties throughout most of the Philippines, as well as in northern Sulawesi and northern Borneo. The issues discussed herein are some of those felt to be most important and most relevant: a reanalysis of Maranao phonology; a description of Manide and Inagta Alabat, two previously-undocumented languages that appear to form a primary branch of the Philippine macrogroup; a reanalysis of the subgrouping of the languages of northern Borneo, based on phonological and functor innovations instead of lexicostatistics; a reconsideration of the evidence for the position of Umiray Dumaget; an internal subgrouping of the Subanen languages, and evidence for the integrity of the Subanen subgroup and reconstructions of its protolanguage; a reconstruction of the pronominal systems of the protolanguages ancestral to the Philippine languages and the Southwest Sabah languages; a discussion of the Black Filipino ethnolinguistic groups of the Philippines and their languages; a description of the angry speech register found in many Greater Central Philippine languages; a discussion of the various developments in the verb systems of Philippine-type languages; and an analysis of the data contained in the Spanish-era dictionaries and grammars of various Central Philippine languages. viii TABLE OF

    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.

    CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES CHICAGO PRESS RELEASE NO. 12-2020 ACTOR IN “QUEZON’S GAME” CALLED ON THE PHILIPPINE CONSULATE; MOVIE RUN EXTENDED UNTIL FEBRUARY 26 IN ILLINOIS The actor who played US Army Major Dwight Eisenhower in the movie, “Quezon’s Game”, Mr. David Bianco, paid a courtesy call on the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago on February 19. The Illinois-based actor was received by Consul General Gina Jamoralin, Consul Ryan Gener and Cultural Officer Noly Dulay. Mr. Bianco shared with Consul General Jamoralin how the critically-acclaimed movie was conceived, written and directed with the view to share to the Filipino people and to the world the generosity and humanity of former President Manuel L. Quezon towards the Jewish people at the most difficult period in Jewish history. Apart from Col. Eisenhower who later became the 34th president of the United States ( 1953-1961), another American who was featured in the movie is the American diplomat Paul V. McNutt, who served as US High Commissioner to the Philippines (1945-1946), then later became the first US Ambassador to the Philippines from 1946-1947 immediately after the Philippines gained its independence on July 4, 1946. Ambassador McNutt, born in Franklin, Indiana, served as the 34th Governor of Indiana from 1933 to 1937. Filipino actor, Raymond Bagatsing played the role of President Quezon while Rachel Alejandro, a Filipina, played Mrs. Aurora Quezon in the movie which earned several international awards from various international film festivals worldwide. “Quezon’s Game” is now on an extended run at Century 16 Deer Park, Illinois until February 26.

    Human Noun Pluralization in Northern Luzon Languages

    Streams Converging Into an Ocean, 49-69 2006-8-005-003-000081-1 Human Noun Pluralization in Northern Luzon Languages Lawrence A. Reid University of Hawai‘i This paper describes some of the derivational processes by which human nouns are pluralized in some of the Northern Luzon, or Cordilleran, languages of the Philippines. Although primarily descriptive, it offers intriguing insights into the ways reduplicative processes have changed as a result of the application of regular sound changes in some of the daughter languages of the family. Key words: reduplication, geminates, plural human nouns, Philippine languages, Northern Luzon, Cordilleran 1. Plural human nouns in Proto-Northern Luzon It is a great pleasure for me to be able to offer this paper in honor of Professor Paul Jen-kuei Li, one of the most productive linguists working on the Austronesian languages of Taiwan. I have known Paul since his student days at the University of Hawai‘i many decades ago, and have treasured his friendship and respected the quality of his scholarship ever since. In all Northern Luzon languages, most common nouns can be interpreted as either singular or plural, with plurality being marked either by an accompanying pluralizing nominal form, typically a plural demonstrative or a third person plural pronoun. Most if not all languages, however, have a small class of nouns which have plural forms. This class usually includes common kinship terms such as ‘father’, ‘mother’, ‘child’, ‘sibling’, and ‘grandparent’ or ‘grandchild’. Proto-Northern Luzon probably also had plural forms for these nouns. In many of the daughter languages other human nouns, such as ‘man’, ‘woman’, ‘young man’, ‘young woman’, ‘spouse’, etc., are also pluralizable, either because already by Proto-Northern Luzon the process had been generalized to include such forms, or the generalization has taken place since then.

    Describing the Morphology of Amis Kazuhiro Imanishi University of Tokyo, JSPS Research Fellow

    Describing the morphology of Amis Kazuhiro Imanishi University of Tokyo, JSPS Research Fellow Amis is an Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan. Typologically, it belongs to the Philippine-type languages and, along with other indigenous languages spoken in Taiwan, shares a number of similarities with Philippine languages. Phonologically, the language is rather simple; it has 21 phonemes, (C)V(C) syllable Figure 1 Map of East Asia structure, and few phonological rules. Morphologically, the language is complex and owns a rich variety of affixes. It has a complex system of voice alternation, which is traditionally called “focus system”. The word order is relatively free except that the predicate basically precedes its arguments. 1. About my research 1.1. Why Amis? As I was studying linguistic in my undergraduate course, I came to know that a lot of minority languages of the world are dying out; I definitely wanted to conduct a field research of any endangered language. Taiwan used to be a colony of Japan until 1945 and Figure 2 Map of Taiwan old people there still speak Japanese (my mother tongue) well. It is geographically very close to Japan, and living expenses there are not high. These all factors led me to choose one of the minority languages spoken in Taiwan. In my undergraduate course, I had not taken any course on field method; there are, in fact, no course on field method at my former university; therefore, I thought I was difficult to conduct a research on a literally “dying” language, such as Kanakanavu or Saaroa. Amis is the largest indigenous language in Taiwan, with approximately 50,000 to 80,000 speakers; there is no reference grammar which is based on adequate knowledge of linguistics.

  • Free and Prior Informed Consent

    Free and Prior Informed Consent

    Is the Concept of “Free and Prior Informed Consent” Effective as a Legal and Governance Tool to Ensure Equity among Indigenous Peoples? (A Case Study on the Experience of the Tagbanua on Free Prior Informed 1 Consent, Coron Island, Palawan, Philippines) Grizelda Mayo-Anda, Loreto L. Cagatulla, Antonio G. M. La Viňa EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Free and Prior Informed Consent is a process established under Philippine law which seeks to guarantee the participation of indigenous communities in decision making on matters affecting their common interests. This paper looks into the experience of the Tagbanua indigenous community of Coron Island, Palawan, Philippines on the application of the concept of Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). The study area focused on the two Tagbanua communities in Coron Island - Barangays Banuang Daan and Cabugao. Coron Island is home to the seafaring Tagbanua tribes and has been identified as one of the country’s important areas for biodiversity.. The Tagbanua community has managed to secure their tenure on the island and its surrounding waters through the issuance and recognition by the government of an ancestral domain title, one of the first examples of its kind in the Philippines. The study concludes that the exercise of Free Prior and Informed Consent by the Tagbanua community is an important and fundamental tool to ensure that the indigenous peoples will benefit from the resources within their ancestral territory. Among others, it has given them a new tool to protect their environment and to obtain an equitable share of the economic benefits of their natural resources. The study also shows that the exercise of Free Prior and Informed Consent by the Tagbanua communities of Barangays Banuang Daan and Cabugao was recognized by government and non-government stakeholders, although in varying degrees.

    Nesting Incidence, Exploitation and Trade Dynamics of Sea Turtles in Balabac Strait Marine Biodiversity Conservation Corridor, Palawan, Philippines

    Nesting incidence, exploitation and trade dynamics of sea turtles in Balabac Strait Marine Biodiversity Conservation Corridor, Palawan, Philippines Rene Abdulhamed S. Antonio 1,2 and Joie D. Matillano 1,3 1College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Western Philippines University Puerto Princesa Campus Sta. Monica, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines 2Present Office Address: Katala Foundation Inc. Puerto Princesa City, Philippines 3Present Office Address: Local Government of Taytay, Palawan, Philippines ABSTRACT The study assessed the nesting incidence, threats to nesting habitats, exploitation and trade dynamics of sea turtles in the Balabac Strait Marine Biodiversity Conservation Corridor (MBCC). The most number of nests found belonged to the green sea turtle Chelonia mydas and only very few were of hawksbill sea turtle Eretmochelys imbricata. The shoreline vegetation was the most preferred nesting area, followed by beach forest and open beach. The eggs and meat of sea turtles in Balabac Strait MBCC are exploited for local consumption and trade. Information on trade route and local perception on conservation issues about sea turtles is also presented herein. Keywords: Balabac Strait, exploitation, nesting incidence, sea turtle, trade dynamics INTRODUCTION In 2004, the Conservation International-Philippines (CI-P) declared Balabac Strait as a Conservation Priority Area (CPA) for the presence of several threatened species of vertebrates, particularly sea turtles (Anda and Tabangay-Baldera 2004). In that same year, Torres et al. (2004) together with the Exercise Luzon Sea Team conducted a rapid site assessment in several islands in Balabac Strait including Secam, Roughton and Candaraman Islands. Based on this survey, it was confirmed that there were hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata nests in Roughton Island.

Available at: http://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/humbiol/vol85/iss1/10 Anthropology and GIS: Temporal and Spatial Distribution of the Philippine Negrito Groups Abstract The hiP lippine "negrito" groups comprise a diverse group of populations speaking over 30 different languages, who are spread all over the archipelago, mostly in marginal areas of Luzon Island in the north, the central Visayas islands, and Mindanao in the south. They exhibit physical characteristics that are different from more than 100 Philippine ethnolinguistic groups that are categorized as non-negritos. Given their numbers, it is not surprising that Philippine negritos make up a major category in a number of general ethnographic maps produced since the nineteenth century. Reports from various ethnological surveys during this period, however, have further enriched our understanding regarding the extent and distribution of negrito populations. Using the data contained in these reports, it is possible to plot and create a map showing the historical locations and distribution of negrito groups. Using geographic information systems (GIS), the location and distribution of negrito groups at any given time can be overlaid on historical or current maps.
