Rodríguez Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today at the opening of the International Conference on Stonework Heritage in Micronesia. For those of you who are from Guam, and for those of you who are from abroad, whether from the Northern Marianas, Ponhpei, the Philippines or Spain, welcome to the Micronesian Room of the Guam Hilton Hotel. As a result of the Protocol of Valladolid, signed in 1999 by Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia and Spain, the ties between our countries were renewed, and there was an agreement to promote and increase our cultural relations. I want to mention here the significant role played by Dr. Katherine Aguon (of Guam) and Dr. Rufino Mauricio (of the Federated States of Micronesia) in the signature of the Protocol. In 2001, these islands were included under the scope of the Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation. The Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation is a grant program between the Ministry of Culture of Spain and the Philippines, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia. It was designed to foster closer ties between our countries through the collaborative works of scholars in the Humanities and the Social Sciences. While preparing for this conference, we had the enormous advantage of partnering with the Guam Preservation Trust, headed by its Chief Program Officer Joseph Quinata, Program Officers Rosanna Barcinas and Ruby Santos. They have played major roles in this project. I want to express our gratitude to the Historic Resources Division, of the Department of Parks and Recreation office – I still have to learn how to say “Parks and Rec”- that joined the team as soon as Patrick Lujan knew about it. The conference would not be the same without such partnership. I had the privilege of meeting Rosanna when she visited Manila to participate in another conference about the application of plaster or paletada in Spanish colonial buildings. I must say that the collaboration of the Guam Preservation Trust has been instrumental. The Trust has 1 continuously assisted in the preparation of the conference in ways that would take too long to enumerate, from the identification of the speakers, to the technical assistance during the preparation. I am sure that for those of you who are familiar with the activities of the Guam Preservation Trust, there is nothing new in what I am saying. For us, this is the first time that we had a project together and I am glad to say that we look forward to repeating the experience. Thank you so much, Mr. Quinata, for having your office participate in the conference, and for the wonderful dinner in which we were welcomed last night at the Capuchin’s friary. It is a sweet and sour feeling to know that a two-day conference does not give enough time to discuss all the issues and to give room for all the speakers. This means that there is a growing demand for dialogue and exchange on cultural and historic preservation issues. To all of you, thank you for coming. Bienvenidos, welcome to the conference and let’s start with the discussions, in the hope that gatherings like this will be continued in the future. Thank you very much. 2 Conference Rationale By Carlos Madrid Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation, Academic Coordinator The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Stonework as “a structure or part built of stone.” And “the shaping, preparation, or setting of stone.” The same source defines “heritage” as the “property that descends to an heir” or “something transmitted by or acquired from a predecessor.” We refer as Stonework Heritage as the heritage of structures made of stone. Our conference aligns with the principles of UNESCO for cultural heritage. UNESCO considers that “it can best protect cultural diversity through actions involving sites that bear witness to multiple cultural identities, are representative of minority cultural heritages, are of founding significance, or are in imminent danger of destruction”. Development that endangers natural and cultural environment is not sustainable. The Universal Declaration of Cultural Diversity has two major goals: first, to ensure respect for cultural identities with the participation of all peoples in a democratic framework and, second, to contribute to the emergence of a favourable climate for the creativity of all. In other words, it’s a matter of making culture a factor of development. Current development creates new challenges and different kinds of risks throughout the world. Both tangible and intangible heritage is endangered, subjected to renovated pressures exercised from economic, political or military priorities. To prevent and protect those heritages, UNESCO hosted the Convention on Biological Diversity (2000), the Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage (2001) and the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003). Cultural heritage represents one of the most significant aspects of the identity of a nation and its material manifestation across times and periods. The physical presence of a historic structure is a visible testimony of the past that contributes to the maintenance of the collective conscience of the community. 3 The Micronesian region is significantly rich and diverse in cultural heritage. By incorporating it into a collective appreciation, we are better prepared to move forward for the new challenges of the future. In a world where cultural tourism is growing in importance the historic heritage of Micronesia represents an economic venue for sustained development. Hence, community involvement and awareness of historic heritage has played a growing role in recent years. In order to contribute to those dynamics, and in the light of the cultural and historic relations between Spain, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of Micronesia and Palau, the Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation, with the collaboration and partnership of the Guam Preservation Trust, along with the Historic Resources Division of the Department of Parks and Recreation Office; hosts this International Conference on Stonework Heritage in Micronesia. The conference invited experts and individuals from the Micronesian Region, the Philippines, and Spain to present papers on historic stonework heritage and tackle issues such as the challenges in its conservation, restoration techniques, contemporary tourist potential, and appreciation among the community. The publication of the papers will increase the corpus of bibliographic materials that may serve as a reference in the coming future. In this International Conference on Stonework Heritage, organizers, presenters and participants belong to different disciplines: Archaeology, History, and Architecture. Each of us has different approaches towards cultural heritage: recovery, restoration, protection, and revitalization. These disciplines are simply different sides of one and the same coin. We are here because we belong to the same group, whose professional activity is oriented to foster a better understanding of cultural heritage in its different manifestations. We envision a situation in which gatherings like this that we are about to celebrate, shall not be an exception. This conference aligns with Article 7 of UNESCO’s Universal Declaration of Cultural Diversity, adopted on November 2, 2001, Article 7 – Cultural heritage as the wellspring of creativity 4 Creation draws on the roots of cultural tradition, but flourishes in contact with other cultures. For this reason, heritage in all its forms must be preserved, enhanced and handed on to future generations as a record of human experience and aspirations, so as to foster creativity in all its diversity and to inspire genuine dialogue among cultures. 5 Stone Conservation of Spanish Colonial Structures in a Tropical Setting By Maria Bernardita Maronilla-Reyes Chemist Conservator, UST Center for the Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics University of Santo Tomas, Espana, Manila, Philippines Stone conservation of Spanish colonial structures in a tropical setting is a very challenging task. Deterioration of many types of stone is accelerated in a hot and humid climate. Seismic activity caused by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions aggravates this problem. The earth movements result in cracks and fractures in the structures, which become deterioration sites for growth of vegetation or for birds and rodents to settle in. Frequent flooding makes this situation even more complex. The tradition of building with stone was introduced by Spain to the Philippines.

    BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 hours) Eat your way around Binondo, the Philippines’ Chinatown. Located across the Pasig River from the walled city of Intramuros, Binondo was formally established in 1594, and is believed to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants, and given the historic reach of Chinese trading in the Pacific, it has been a hub of Chinese commerce in the Philippines since before the first Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines in 1521. Before World War II, Binondo was the center of the banking and financial community in the Philippines, housing insurance companies, commercial banks and other financial institutions from Britain and the United States. These banks were located mostly along Escólta, which used to be called the "Wall Street of the Philippines". Binondo remains a center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino- Chinese merchants and is famous for its diverse offerings of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy walking around the streets of Binondo, taking in Tsinoy (Chinese-Filipino) history through various Chinese specialties from its small and cozy restaurants. Have a taste of fried Chinese Lumpia, Kuchay Empanada and Misua Guisado at Quick Snack located along Carvajal Street; Kiampong Rice and Peanut Balls at Café Mezzanine; Kuchay Dumplings at Dong Bei Dumplings and the growing famous Beef Kan Pan of Lan Zhou La Mien.

Through an analysis of the historical origins and changing meanings of “ilustrado” in Philippine literary and nationalist discourse, this article looks at the politics of reading and writing that have shaped international and domestic reception of the novel. While the novel seeks to resignify the hitherto class- bound concept of “ilustrado” to include Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), historical and contemporary usages of the term present conceptual and practical difficulties and challenges that require a new intellectual paradigm for understanding Philippine society. Keywords: rizal • novel • ofw • ilustrado • nationalism PHILIPPINE STUDIES 59, NO. 1 (2011) 3–54 © Ateneo de Manila University iguel Syjuco’s Ilustrado (2010) is arguably the first contemporary novel by a Filipino to have a global presence and impact (fig. 1). Published in America by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and in Great Britain by Picador, the novel has garnered rave reviews across Mthe Atlantic and received press coverage in the Commonwealth nations of Australia and Canada (where Syjuco is currently based).

  • Vigía: the Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam
    Vigía: The Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam Carlos Madrid Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center There are indications of the existence of a network of lookout points around Guam during the 18th and 19th centuries. This is suggested by passing references and few explicit allusions in Spanish colonial records such as early 19th Century military reports. In an attempt to identify the sites where those lookout points might have been located, this paper surveys some of those references and matches them with existing toponymy. It is hoped that the results will be of some help to archaeologists, historic preservation staff, or anyone interested in the history of Guam and Micronesia. While the need of using historic records is instrumental for the abovementioned purposes of this paper, focus will be given to the Chamorro place name Bijia. Historical evolution of toponymy, an area of study in need of attention, offers clues about the use or significance that a given location had in the past. The word Vigía today means “sentinel” in Spanish - the person who is responsible for surveying an area and warn of possible dangers. But its first dictionary definition is still "high tower elevated on the horizon, to register and give notice of what is discovered". Vigía also means an "eminence or height from which a significant area of land or sea can be seen".1 Holding on to the latter definition, it is noticeable that in the Hispanic world, in large coastal territories that were subjected to frequent attacks from the sea, the place name Vigía is relatively common.

  • Palauan Migrants on Guam
    Ethnic Institutions and Identity: Palauan Migrants on Guam RICHARD D . SHEWMAN Departm ent of Anthrop ology , University of Guam, UOG Station Mangi/ao, Guam 96913 Abstract- There are over one thousand Palauan migrants residing on Guam. They have been able to adapt to life on Guam relati vely successfully while continuing to view themselves as Palauans and retaining close ties with Palau . The primary mechani sms in the maintenanc e of their identit y are the Pal a uan institution s. Similar in many resp ects to tho se found in Palau , the migrant institutions have their base in the kinship units , telungalek /kebliil, but va ry from the original as accommodation to life on Guam ha s demanded. These institution s give the migrants a context in which Pal auan langua ge and role relation ships can be experienced and channel s of reciprocity with Palau and among the migrant s ma intained. They also make adju stment to life on Gu am easier by pro viding a source of financi al, social , emotion al, and spiritual support to the migrant. • Palauan migrants residing on Guam present an example of a migrant ethnic group that is in the process of adaptating to a new social environment. My research was conducted among the Palauans of Guam from September 1977 through January 1978. One of the issues this research addressed was the maintenance of a Palauan ethnic identity while living on Guam. This article presents a brief description of the Palauan population on Guam and its social institutions , as they relate to the maintenance of Palauan ethnic identity and assist in a successful adaptation to life in the new environment.

  • Looking Beyond the Walls
    Looking Beyond the Walls It was a sunny morning when Jose Estrella decided to take a walk by the Maestranza plaza in Intramuros, Manila City. Estrella was the administrator of the Intramuros Administration (IA), an organization attached to the Department of Tourism (DOT) of the Philippines. He was walking by the plaza because he wanted to check on the current state of Maestranza in preparation for several meetings he had lined up for the week. A concert had recently been held at the Maestranza plaza, and an exhibit had been held a few weeks ago. A civic organization was currently eying Maestranza as the venue for its annual meeting six months from now. A few years back, however, this portion of Intramuros where the Pasig River can be seen had an unwelcoming sewage-like smell that dominated a person’s senses. It consequently was not a pleasurable place for a walk. There were informal settlers who had made their homes and lives right in the middle of the street, blocking important historical markers and obstructing the view of Pasig River as well as portions of the historic walls of Manila. A few meters from Maestranza were ruins of what used to be the Central Bank of the Philippines. No matter how historic and rich in potential this area was, it was not a prime tourism destination. As the administrator of Intramuros, Estrella was proud that in the two years’ time since he had assumed his position, the plaza had a facelift, allowing it to become a viable venue for different events and an open space good for a morning or afternoon stroll.
