Early in his first parish assignment in 1962 in Kapitolyo Pasig, seeing the same handful of people in different church meetings, he thought of how the whole ‘people of God’ could live and participate in church life and mission. In 1969, he was assigned to the Parish of St Joseph in Las Piñas, where he would stay for 30 years. The wind of Vatican II in his wings, he spent all his energy 4 in facilitating the emergence of small faith communities in neighborhood settings (popularly called basic ecclesial communities or BECs) and, in a special way, built up the leadership responsibilities of everyone involved. In 1999, as he turned 65, an age when others hang up their gloves, Fr Mark entered a new arena by founding Bukal ng Tipan, a pastoral center that would serve dioceses in the Philippines, Asia, and Europe and would continue the community-building and communal leadership passion of Fr Mark. The Parish of St Joseph in Las Piñas developed from a priest-centered church to a participatory church through the affirming leadership of Fr Mark. Believing in the innate goodness and giftedness of people, he gradually built up the leadership groups in the parish. From the traditional parish council made up of the leaders of the mandated organizations, he set up a think-tank group that would brainstorm on how to increase participation in church life and mission. Working groups were organized per parish activity, composed of people who were not involved in the mandated organizations and whose task was to think ‘out of the box.’ In the early 1970s, working groups flowed into lay ministries, which responded to the bigger needs of the Las Piñas parish community, especially in terms of social action as the majority of the parish community came from the poorer sectors. The heads of ministries formed the Parish Coordinating Group in 1975. In 1980, the Parish Pastoral Council was renamed LINGAP (Lingkod ng ating Parokya) with the clear intention of fostering a pastoral servant attitude among its members. By 1985, the leadership structure had widened to the barrios and by 1990, the zones also had their own leadership teams. General parish assemblies attended by about a thousand people representing the different groups and areas in the parish started in 1986, as an integral part of the whole pastoral planning process for developing parish programs. This process entailed evaluation, decision-making, and goal-setting. Believing that leadership does not reside in one person but that every person has a leadership responsibility, Fr Mark thought of ways of including the baptized in decision-making by asking churchgoers their opinion regarding pastoral programs and activities. In 1987, the first parish survey was conducted during the Sunday masses. A few years later, those who did not go to church were also consulted. The results of the consultations were then forwarded to the Parish Council before it started its yearly evaluation and planning. For Fr Mark, building up leaders does not start with the question: What kind of leaders does the Parish need? It starts with the question: What kind of Church do we want to become? The growth in leadership, therefore, was in line with the vision of a participatory church. Fr Mark’s goal was to maximize participation from as many people as possible, especially the poorest, in all areas of parish life—from liturgical celebrations to formation seminars, decision-making, pastoral planning, and financial management—therefore engaging them in the life and mission of the greater church. 5 A most important instrument Fr Mark saw early on, as early as the 1970s, for participation to increase was the Basic Ecclesial Communities, a concept which was just starting at the time in the country. Hearing about it in Mindanao, he attended the first Mindanao-Sulu Pastoral Conference in 1971. He continued visiting parishes all over the country that were also searching for new ways of being Church, especially through BEC. He went to a parish in Cebu and in Leyte and attended a number of BEC seminars there. In 1991, he and lay worker Estela Padilla went to Lumko in South Africa to study their BEC approaches and tools. The Bukas Palad Gradually, BECs—neighborhood groups meeting regularly to build Award embodies up their faith in Jesus through liturgical activities, formation and the Ignatian spirit awareness-raising, and social engagement and action—strengthened of generosity and to the point that the Parish of St Joseph became an exposure site gives recognition to for participatory church and BECs among Philippine parishes and the unconditional, dioceses. By the mid-90s, the parish also became an exposure site dedicated service for pastoral ministers, clergy, and lay from Asian countries, especially of the Religious those studying in the East Asian Pastoral Institute. In 1993, Fr Mark in Christ’s and Estela became co-founders of the BEC Desk in Asia under the Kingdom. The Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences. The parish BEC team also started giving BEC seminars to other parishes in the country and in awardees’ notable Asia, and was also invited to teach about BECs in Metro Manila’s achievements theological seminaries. serve as tangible, unmistakable evidence of the In 2001, Father Mark founded the Bukal ng Tipan Pastoral Training prophetic role Center with six lay pastoral workers from the Parish of St Joseph. Bukal’s mission is to journey with peoples towards a participatory of the Church in church in the world. From its parish experience of two decades, when today’s world. these six lay pastoral workers became active agents of moving the They also serve parish from a priest-centered to a participatory church, Bukal’s main as testimonials pastoral programs, tools, methods, and processes were designed. to Christ’s love Presently composed of ten people—eight lay and two priests—Bukal for mankind, has a BEC/Local Church Unit and a Youth Unit.

Aware that it the sick and will always be an outsider, and respecting the history and culture of the suffering. dioceses, Bukal starts with immersion and exposure to the social and church life of the different dioceses it works with. It makes sure that it partners with a local team from the very start of its involvement in another diocese or parish. Believing that they cannot give what they do not have, the Bukal ng Tipan team takes its community life seriously, as it does its relationship-building with the diocesan team it 6 works with. To date, Bukal has worked intensely with about 30 dioceses in the Philippines, Asia, and Europe. Although it started as a pastoral center where people come and attend programs, it soon became a team that goes to dioceses and journeys with them. Bukal moved from a center to local areas, and in doing so became context-based, responsive to specific needs and, thus, more mission-oriented. From giving pastoral courses, it moved to facilitating processes of local church development. From pastoral consultants, Bukal became more conscious that they are partners and co-disciples with the different teams they encounter. For devoting more than 40 years of his life pursuing his vision of a participatory church, which, in his words is, “a church where everybody has the opportunity to participate, a church that is listening to people, a church that is concerned with the lives of people, a church where everybody has a place and a space, especially the poor,” the Ateneo de Manila University, in this Year of the Parish as Communion of Communities, confers on Fr Mark Lesage CICM the 2017 Bukas Palad Award. 7 Ozanam Award Synergeia Foundation Inc under the leadership of Milwida m guevara ynergeia Foundation Inc started as a learning circle for Ford Foundation grantees in 1999. When the Ford Foundation closed its Manila office in 2002, Synergeia evolvedS into a development organization with a simple dream: to ensure that every Filipino child completes quality basic education. In the Philippines, where an average of only 7 out of 10 children complete grade six (and in marginalized communities, only 3 out of 10), that seemed like an impossible dream. 8 The organization draws inspiration from the African proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” It believes that educating our youth is too big a responsibility to be left to government alone.

  • FRISSON: the Collected Criticism of Alice Guillermo
    FRIS SON: The Collected Criticism of Alice Guillermo Reviewing Current Art | 23 The Social Form of Art | 4 Patrick D. Flores Abstract and/or Figurative: A Wrong Choice | 9 SON: Assessing Alice G. Guillermo a Corpus | 115 Annotating Alice: A Biography from Her Bibliography | 16 Roberto G. Paulino Rendering Culture Political | 161 Timeline | 237 Acknowledgment | 241 Biographies | 242 PCAN | 243 Broadening the Public Sphere of Art | 191 FRISSON The Social Form of Art by Patrick D. Flores The criticism of Alice Guillermo presents an instance in which the encounter of the work of art resists a series of possible alienations even as it profoundly acknowledges the integrity of distinct form. The critic in this situation attentively dwells on the material of this form so that she may be able to explicate the ecology and the sociality without which it cannot concretize. The work of art, therefore, becomes the work of the world, extensively and deeply conceived. Such present-ness is vital as the critic faces the work in the world and tries to ramify that world beyond what is before her. This is one alienation that is calibrated. The work of art transpiring in the world becomes the work of the critic who lets it matter in language, freights it and leavens it with presence so that human potential unerringly turns plastic, or better still, animate: Against the cold stone, tomblike and silent, are the living glances, supplicating, questioning, challenging, or speaking—the eyes quick with feeling or the movements of thought, the mouths delicately shaping speech, the expressive gestures, and the bodies in their postures determined by the conditions of work and social circumstance.

  • Mark Justiniani
    Mark Justiniani Mark Justiniani (b. 1966. Bacolod, Philippines), often identified with the lineage of Social Realism through the 80’s and 90’s in the Philippines through artist-activist initiatives like Salingpusa (1984) and Sanggawa (1994), have been working with notions of how we perceive reality. After returning from the USA in 2006, he has developed his oeuvre through “magic realist strains” and has moved to configurations of space, the nature of vision and their ever vacillating relationship with time through the use of reflective media in recent years. His practice has had him represent the Philippines in conferences and exhibitions in overseas since 1992.

    HOMES Home Is Where the Art Is Carefully selected works of Filipino modern masters as well as contemporary Filipino artists adorn this spectacular house, writes Astra C Alegre Photograpy: WIG TYSMANS Assisted by: TONNETTE JACINTO ART HAVEN Paintings, sculptures, and art books fill the living room 262 philippine tatler . december 2014 philippine tatler . december 2014 263 HOMES A monumental Elmer Borlongan piece, measuring 7.5 feet by 15 feet, titled Pag- ahon, is the first artwork you notice as soon as you enter the living room Ventura, Elmer Borlongan, John Santos, etc,” Antonio remarks. A monumental Elmer Borlongan piece, measuring 7.5 feet by 15 feet, titled Pag- ahon, is the first artwork you notice as soon as you enter the living room. It depicts 10 brawny men hauling in a large banca from the sea to shore. The background is a deep orange with strokes of grey, suggesting a fiery sunset. You can’t help but gaze at the contemporary Filipino painter’s artwork for an extended period of time as the piece simply draws you in. Guests often think that the work was commissioned, but the reality is, the wall was built specifically for the artwork. It is the only permanently installed artwork in the house. It is also the only Borlongan in the house, “for now,” says its owner. Right below it is a 1978 wooden bench by National Artist Napoleon Abueva, which was directly acquired from the Abueva family a few years ago. Guests are welcome to sit on it, as it is a functional piece after all.

    INTRODUCTION Visual Transformations in Philippine Modernity: Notes toward an Investigation of the World-Media System Capital Mediation Whosoever believes that there is such a thing as global capitalism necessarily also believes there is already in place a global media sys- tem: for what is capital if not a vast network of coordinated and leveraged mediations? Perhaps, the twentieth century shall one day be reckoned as the period when capital went from being just one form of mediation among many to being the ur-medium, cannibal- izing (and thus, iterating) nearly all other media from the cognitive, to the cultural, to the psychological, to the visceral, to the televisual, to the digital.1 Film, television, computing, and even architecture become functional extensions of capitalism. Such an event, if one can call a shift in the mode of production by that term, has tremen- dous consequences for the nature and function of visuality. Although this project is primarily a study of the trajectory of Philippine abstraction in painting and in film, my subject matter 1 2 Jonathan Beller Acquiring Eyes 3 and the claims I make about it are in no way separable from Philip- period when the visual has become the new arena of operations for pine history and, thus, from the history of Spanish conquest, U.S. media capital.
