  • The Oblation Ritualized
    From the Sacred to the Profane: The Oblation Ritualized FROM THE SACRED TO THE PROFANE: THE OBLATION RITUALIZED Reuben Ramas Cañete ABSTRACT The study approaches the historical construction of the narratives surrounding the statue titled Oblation, deemed as the symbol of the University of the Philippines (UP), from the theoretical perspective of Eric Hobsbawn’s notion of “invented traditions,” as well as Judith Butler’s theory of performativity. The study looks at the genesis of this narrative as informed by the anti-colonial struggle of the late-19th and early 20th century, but amplified and “sacralised” through the symbolic power of the UP Presidency, particularly under Jorge C. Bocobo (1935-1939) under whose auspices the Oblation was erected on November 30, 1935. The study also foregrounds the key term “Sacrificial Body” as a determinant of the Oblation’s narrational focus of itself as subject, and its function as idealized model or template to be “followed” by the UP community. The ambivalence of this narrative, however, is central to the production of contradicting discourses throughout its history, from the “sacred” Pre-War image akin to a secular Crucifixion upon which rituals supervised by a “priesthood” composed of the University’s officials were enacted; to the Post- War secular (and thus “profane”) image of the Oblation as that “representing academic freedom” from the viewpoint of its progressive student body and faculty. The common assertion of a sacrificial representation of anti-colonial struggle, however, is intuited by

  • New Hope, New Resolve, New Normal!
    Volume 7 Issue No. 01 map.org.ph January 5, 2020 “MAPping the Future” Column in the INQUIRER NEW HOPE, NEW RESOLVE, NEW NORMAL! January 4, 2021 Mr. ANTONIO “Tony” T. HERENANDEZ Year 2021 unfolds as the ‘unspoiled page in our book of time’ now at our disposal. It comes as our next chance to objectify past lessons learned, and hopefully avoid lapses/errors as we write out “Chapter-2021” of our journey called life! The first month of the year --- January --- is aptly named after the Roman god Janus, the god of beginnings and doorways; of entrances and exits. Janus bears a double-faced head so he can look back to the past while at the same time look ahead to the future. It implies the ability to readily reflect on last year’s learning. At the same time, look forward with circumspection to address the year ahead. New Resolve During this month, the so-called “new year’s resolution” comes to mind. When taken seriously, it could gain traction in engaging the WILL to: (1) chart a fresh lease of life; (2) break away from habits that blot yesterday’s copybook; and (3) imbibe positive qualities --- virtuous not vicious --- to influence human nature’s natural driving forces [like ambition, impatience, self-concept, even selfishness... neutral forces essentially, writes international best-selling author Brian Tracy] and channel them to actions that edify not degrade, build not destroy, help not harm, and be a blessing to others! In the good-old-days, “new year’s resolution” was often the subject of school compositions.

But for a UP graduate, expectations run even higher. And they should, because from the very start, we have been held to a higher standard of honor, excellence, and public service. In the words of President Rafael Palma during his investiture in 1925, he said “it was UP’s mission not just to produce graduates, but to encourage “original thinking and assert our individuality in the realm of mind for the positive benefit of the Filipino people.” A UP graduate has to be a willing, creative, and audacious agent of social transformation, going UP President Danilo L. Concepcion appeals to graduates to use their education to serve the country well. above and beyond the normal call of duty to find “Pahalagahan ninyo ang Filipinos’ gain and not only for their inyong paglipad paitaas, maalala ways of uplifting the lives of our countrymen. edukasyong ibinahagi namin sa inyo personal gains. naman ninyo na sila ay lingapin at Thankfully, in UP Manila, you have had more dito sa UP.
