Brief History, Milestones and Chronology of the Inventschool  | PART TWO Blog No.2 [Blog-A, No.2] Our Blog ALL ABOUT THE INVENTSCHOOL in general Brief History, Milestones and Chronology of the InventSchool | PART TWO by Rafael Nelson M. Aboganda | February 8, 2021 Milestones and Chronology A chronological look at the growth and development of the InventSchool™ over the past 50 years. Short courses and seminar-workshops on creativity and innovation, scientific and technological creativity, social invention and community innovation, and creative arts and literature have been conducted by the InventSchool in the Philippines and the Samahar Roving School, its forerunner, for more than 50 years. A short episodic chronicle of the InventSchool with some details is presented in the “milestones and chronology” below. Prelude to the InventSchool|1967-1972 Before the InventSchool was established, there was a ‘roving school’ which conducted seminars on creativity in arts and design. Thereafter, the creativeness and inventiveness development program started “creative thinking” seminars for aspiring young inventors. The founders of the InventSchool thought that there should be a more comprehensive training program for identifying and developing new breed of Filipino inventors. Here’s how the InventSchool began: The beginnings of the InventSchool: The idea of InventSchool began in 1967 when a small group of young college graduates and students, conducted short courses and seminars on creativity in arts and design, photography, journalism and tourism for college students, through a travelling (mobile) school in the so-called “university belt” of Manila, Philippines. 1967-68 – The Art Newsmag, a tabloid-magazine, was published in June 1967 by the graduates of the Philippine School of Journalism (PSJ). An on-the-spot painting contest was held on October 14, 1967 at the National University (NU) in Manila sponsored by the NU Society of Architecture & Arts Students (SAAS). The PSJ graduates and SAAS members conceived the idea of an education and research group for creativity in architecture & arts and science & technology. July 7, 1968, the Samahang Maharlika (Samahar), an association dedicated to the promotion of creativity in arts-and-literature and science-and-technology was organized. Samahar, which conducted seminars on creativity in arts and design at NU, became the germ of the idea of what we now call the InventSchool. INVENTSCHOOLTM BLOG-2 | Brief History, Milestones and Chronology of the INVENTSCHOOLTM Part Two | Page 1 INVENTSCHOOLTM BLOG-2 | Brief History, Milestones and Chronology of the INVENTSCHOOLTM Part Two | Page 2 1969 – Samahar was incorporated as Samahang Maharlika, Isp. at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Manila and launched the Samahar Roving School (SRS), the only mobile school that moves around the university belt in Manila conducting short courses on creativity in arts and design, photography, journalism, and tourism for college students. 1970 – May 11, the Philippine Inventors Commission (PIC) and Filipino Inventors Society (FIS) agreed to implement the provisions of Republic Act 3850 (otherwise known as the Philippine Inventors Incentives Act of 1964) particularly creativity training for students, organization of “creative societies” (student inventors’ associations), and publication/dissemination of inventive activities. June 24, PIC jointly with FIS launched two projects, namely: Project I – Creativeness and Inventiveness Development Program (CDIP) to promote inventive creativity among students, teachers and talented professionals through creativity training and seminar-workshops focusing on the development of local inventions; and Project II – Publication and Dissemination of Inventive Activities (PS) to promote the development of local inventions and their manufacture―through the mass media. The two projects enlisted the organizers and principal lecturers of Samahar-SRS. 1971 – May 2, the first seminar on “creative thinking” under the PIC creativeness program was held at St. Louis University in Baguio City participated by teachers attending the summer training in science teaching sponsored by the National Science Development Board (NSDB). 1972 – Creativeness and inventiveness development program continued conducting seminar-workshops on “creative thinking and invention development.” October 1972, the first working paper on “creatology” entitled “Towards a Positive Understanding of Creativity—Creatology, the Science of Creativity” co-authored by Rafael Nelson M. Aboganda and Ricardo S. Cortez was published by the Publication Staff, Creativeness Development Division, Philippine Inventors Commission (PIC). Creatology became a special topic of the PIC creativity training courses. [“Creatology” was derived from Latin creat- the past participle stem of creare. “to bring forth, produce,” and Gr. creatus, “creative” + Latin logus, “study” and Gr. logos, “reason, study”.] (Watch “What is Creatology?” | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhUOIfx5lQc) Early years of the InventSchoolTM |1973-1989 In the early years, the InventSchool™ upholds the idea that “creativity and inventiveness” can be developed through proper training and actual experience. Here are the highlights of our early years: 1973 – In the third-year implementation of Projects I and II, the idea of a mobile “school for young inventors” gradually evolved among its project leaders Rafael Nelson M. Aboganda and Ricardo S. Cortez. February, “Likhaan Institute for Creative Studies and Technological Innovations,” a proposed schoolxxx INVENTSCHOOLTM BLOG-2 | Brief History, Milestones and Chronology of the INVENTSCHOOLTM Part Two | Page 3 roving school for young inventors (school-to-school, house-to- house), was conceptualized. May, Likhaan Institute was organized but renamed Imbensyon Pilipino (IP) and registered as a single proprietorship at the Philippine Bureau of Commerce on June 15 with registry No. 45258. Soon enough, Aboganda and Cortez proposed the basic concept of the InventSchoolTM and the organization of InventClubs. Cesar C. Villariba, Jr. (creativity trainer in lateral thinking), Fernando Ubaldo, Jr. (creative researcher, inventor of Ovulonics Watch), and Jose Marte R. Torres (PIC patent examiner), all part- owners of Imbensyon Pilipino, supported these ideas. July 7, The InventSchool was organized as the training unit of Imbensyon Pilipino (IP). August 5, 12, 19 & 26, first orientation seminar entitled “Creative Dynamics” was held in a makeshift classroom at the residence of Ubaldo in Quezon City. 1974 – “Special Report on Creatology” was submitted in January to Gen. Florencio Medina, then Secretary of Science & Technology. [Gen. Medina was all praises about the report. He said, “This was the best thing that ever happened to PIC.”] Seminars on “creative thinking and problem-solving” under the PIC creativeness program were conducted in major cities in the Philippines. Creatology was presented in the seminars utilizing fundamental observations from initial ‘creatological’ studies. Aboganda left PIC and continued the InventSchool seminar-workshops. 1975 – Imbensyon Pilipino was transformed into the Creativity Research and Development Foundation, Inc. (CRADFI) and carried out the seminars on creativity and invention development under the InventSchool program. 1976 – PIC and CRADFI, individually and/or jointly, conducted seminars on creativity, creative thinking and invention development. 1977 – PIC with CRADFI continued undertaking seminars on creativity and invention development. By mid-year, however, PIC concluded its creativity training program. 1978 – May, a new foundation named “Likhaan Institute for Technological Innovations” was proposed by staff-members of the Community Resource Management & Development Department (CRMDD) of the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) to uplift the quality of life of rural poor, transfer appropriate technologies to the countryside, and help “nationalize” technology in the Philippines by developing and making use of Filipino inventions. June 28, Likhaan Institute was organized in a meeting held at the Philippine Columbian on Taft Ave., Manila. The organization was however renamed Technology for Human Development Foundation, Inc. (THDF). PIC and THDF jointly conducted a special creativity training course for the agricultural officers of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Leyte Province. From then on, THDF continued the InventSchool training program. 1979 – January 16, Techud (new acronym of THDF) was incorporated at SEC with Reg. No. 83952—it retained The InventSchool as its primary training program. With some travel funds provided by PIC, Techud continued undertaking seminars on creativity and invention development, particularly for teachers and students of the University of the Philippines College Baguio in Baguio City and other schools in Benguet Province. October, Techud submitted to PIC a proposal to reactivate the creativeness and inventiveness program; unfortunately, no action was taken. INVENTSCHOOLTM BLOG-2 | Brief History, Milestones and Chronology of the INVENTSCHOOLTM Part Two | Page 4 1980 – May, another letter-proposal for the revival of creativeness development program was presented by Techud to PIC; again, no action was taken. October 3, Techud again proposed the revival of the creativeness and inventiveness program to PIC to be called “The InventSchool Program.” November 30, Likhaan Institute Foundation was organized by Aboganda with Ernesto A. Forcadilla, Renato A. Forcadilla,

    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan.

  • The Virtues of Federalism
    SOME ADVANTAGES OF FEDERALISM AND PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT FOR THE PHILIPPINES Jose V. Abueva U.P. Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Public Administration, Chairman of the CMFP Advisory Board, and President of Kalayaan College I. With EDSA 1 we restored an outmoded form of democracy. In the peaceful “people power” revolt from February 22 to 25, 1986, tens of thousands of unarmed Filipinos gathered to defend a small but swelling band of military rebels at the military and police headquarters along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue that cuts through Metro Manila from North to South. United in their cry for “Justice, Freedom and Democracy,” they peacefully immobilized the armed forces of the 13-year Marcos dictatorship. On the fourth day they banished the dictator into exile. Amazed at our extraordinary feat, the world applauded. Some oppressed peoples in Eastern Europe and Asia took heart and followed our example to liberate themselves from tyranny. In January 2001, not only at EDSA in Metro Manila but also in many cities, citizens gathered and employed “people power” once more to bring down a president who was perceived to be abusive and corrupt. Aggrieved citizens felt good once again but “people power” alone could not bring us what we really need as a developing nation and democracy. The restoration of free elections and formal democracy under the 1987 Constitution has not empowered citizens to check or mitigate our pervasive problems of mass poverty, unemployment, corruption, social inequality, injustice, rebellion, and the environment. Underdevelopment and population still force legions of Filipinos to migrate as our country lags farther behind our advanced neighbors in the region.

  • An Exploratory Study on the Dominion of American English in the Oldest University in Asia
    RESEARCH PAPERS DE-HEGEMONIZING THE HEGEMONIZED: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON THE DOMINION OF AMERICAN ENGLISH IN THE OLDEST UNIVERSITY IN ASIA By ALEJANDRO S. BERNARDO University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines. ABSTRACT Because it has been established that there is a local variety of English born in the Philippines, there are crucial debates specifically on what pedagogical standard must be used in teaching English in Philippine schools. In spite of the growing number of researches on Philippine English (PE) and the publication of its own dictionary, it appears that a considerable number of educators, language learners, non-educators, and professionals still deem that the so-called 'Standard English' variety also known as 'ENL' (English as a Native Language) (Kirkpatrick, 2007), and 'inner circle' variety (Erling, 2005) is “innately superior to ESL and EFL varieties and that it therefore, represents a good model for English for people in ESL and EFL contexts to follow” (Kirkpatrick, 2007, p. 28). This study therefore explores the prevailing perceptions of college students and language instructors in the oldest university in the Philippines and in Asia toward the two main varieties of English that thrive in the country – American English (AE) and Philippine English (PE) as well as their motives for learning and teaching the English language. This study shows that a majority of the student and teacher respondents have similar reasons why English is taught and studied in the Philippines and that between AE and PE, AE remains as “the” privileged English variety. This paper also examines more specific contentious issues on (i) the language learners' motives for learning English (ii) reasons why Filipino language teachers and learners privilege AE; and (iii) the Filipino learners and teachers' prevailing unreceptive attitudes towards PE.

    Towards a Proposed Collaboration System of Selected Learning Resource Centers in the Education and Training Units of the AFP-DND Nolie G. Enem, PhD Benguet State University Abstract. This study aimed to propose an inter-institutional library collaboration of selected learning resource centers (LRCs) in the three education and training units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines- Department of National Defense. It studied the faculty and students‟ perceptions on 1) the level of provision, and 2) the level of satisfaction, in relation to collection, personnel, financial support, services and use, physical facilities, and technological advancement. Along these areas, the 3) significant relationship between the level of provision and level of satisfaction were also studied. The 4) significant differences in the areas of concern when respondents were grouped by institution were also studied. Respondents were chosen through purposive sampling. The descriptive statistics through utilizing questionnaires was interpreted through The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software, with the correlation determined through The Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient and Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Background of the Study “The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.” Carl T. Rowan (OSSS, 2011) Learning Resource Centers or simply Libraries are institutions that support education and trainings of students (cadets, enlisted men, officers and civilians) and members of the faculty towards the accomplishment of a common goal. They play a very vital role in the educational institution in supporting the curricular offerings, mission, vision, goals, and objectives. Libraries around the globe are exerting their efforts to show to their constituents and to other business enterprises that they form part of the society through sharing the information needed by its people in building and re-building the nation‟s economic condition, security and welfare.

Raquel1, Anthony Greg F. Alonzo2 1 The Fisher Valley College, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines 1 Graduate School, Taguig City University, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines [email protected] 2 The Fisher Valley College, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines 2 Department of Science and Technology, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines [email protected] Abstract The entry of new players in the fast food industry in the Philippines, both local and foreign companies, has paved for a more competitive business environment. Thus, the need to attend to the satisfaction of their customers has become their main objective. The main purpose of this study is to assess the relationships among socio-demographic characteristics, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty in a fast food restaurant. Survey questionnaires were dis- tributed to respondents who dined in at the fast food store during the data gathering. Weighted means, standard deviations, verbal interpretations and rankings were determined to measure the level of customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients were identified to assess the relationships. Respondents were satisfied in terms of food quality, service quality and price but were dissatisfied with the physical environment. Customer loyalty in terms of first-in-mind, word-of-mouth and repurchase intentions were high. Customer satisfaction indicators are significantly correlated with customer loyalty indi- cators at p-value .01.

  • SANCHEZ Final Defense Draft May 8
    LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK: SOLIDARITY CULTURE AND THE MAKING OF A TRANSNATIONAL OPPOSITION TO THE MARCOS DICTATORSHIP, 1972-1986 BY MARK JOHN SANCHEZ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History with a minor in Asian American Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Augusto Espiritu, Chair Professor Antoinette Burton Associate Professor Jose Bernard Capino Professor Kristin Hoganson Abstract This dissertation attempts to understand pro-democratic activism in ways that do not solely revolve around public protest. In the case of anti-authoritarian mobilizations in the Philippines, the conversation is often dominated by the EDSA "People Power" protests of 1986. This project discusses the longer histories of protest that made such a remarkable mobilization possible. A focus on these often-sidelined histories allows a focus on unacknowledged labor within social movement building, the confrontation between transnational and local impulses in political organizing, and also the democratic dreams that some groups dared to pursue when it was most dangerous to do so. Overall, this project is a history of the transnational opposition to the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines. It specifically examines the interactions among Asian American, European solidarity, and Filipino grassroots activists. I argue that these collaborations, which had grassroots activists and political detainees at their center, produced a movement culture that guided how participating activists approached their engagements with international institutions. Anti-Marcos activists understood that their material realities necessitated an engagement with institutions more known to them for their colonial and Cold War legacies such as the press, education, human rights, international law, and religion.
