Phillippine Newsletter SPECIAL EDITION –I PHILIPPINE REGION NEWSLETTER MAY 2021 RELIGIOUS OF NOTRE DAME OF THE MISSIONS “You received the joy of the Gospel: the good news that God so loved us that he gave his Son for us. And this joy is evident in your people. We see it in your eyes, on your faces, in your songs and in your prayers.”- Pope Francis Celebrating the Gift By: Sr. Kristene Joy Padernal Celebrate what we have given, celebrate what we have received. These words from the song of Monica Brown echo the joy of this special jubilee year in commemoration of the quincentenary of Christianity in the Philippines. Five centuries ago, we received the marvelous gift of our Christian faith and have embraced it as the guiding light and cradle of hope in the many seasons of our lives. This faith moves us to a deeper sense of joy and gratitude to the fortitude and passion shown by our first missionaries. The gifts continue to pour as more missionaries came and have lived amongst the people of the land. And more than 30 years ago, we were blessed by the presence of the Religious of Notre Dame of the Missions whose missionary vigour and spirit was unparalleled. They have traversed different mountains and crossed many rivers to reach out to the people and to continue to nurture the seed that was planted by our ancestors of yesteryears. They have come not only to celebrate the gift of our faith but have come to celebrate the diversity and solidarity amongst the Filipino people. We thank God for this wonderful gift and we thank all our missionaries who have shared their life and love with us. MARAMING.

  • A Study of the Badjaos in Tawi- Tawi, Southwest Philippines Erwin Rapiz Navarro
    Centre for Peace Studies Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education Living by the Day: A Study of the Badjaos in Tawi- Tawi, Southwest Philippines Erwin Rapiz Navarro Master’s thesis in Peace and Conflict Transformation – November 2015 i Abstract This study examines the impacts of sedentarization processes to the Badjaos in Tawi-Tawi, southwest of the Philippines. The study focuses on the means of sedentarizing the Badjaos, which are; the housing program and conditional cash transfer fund system. This study looks into the conditionalities, perceptions and experiences of the Badjaos who are beneficiaries of the mentioned programs. To realize this objective, this study draws on six qualitative interviews matching with participant-observation in three different localities in Tawi-Tawi. Furthermore, as a conceptual tool of analysis, the study uses sedentarization, social change, human development and ethnic identity. The study findings reveal the variety of outcomes and perceptions of each program among the informants. The housing project has made little impact to the welfare of the natives of the region. Furthermore, the housing project failed to provide security and consideration of cultural needs of the supposedly beneficiaries; Badjaos. On the other hand, cash transfer fund, though mired by irregularities, to some extent, helped in the subsistence of the Badjaos. Furthermore, contentment, as an antithesis to poverty, was being highlighted in the process of sedentarization as an expression of ethnic identity. Analytically, this study brings substantiation on the impacts of assimilation policies to indigenous groups, such as the Badjaos. Furthermore, this study serves as a springboard for the upcoming researchers in the noticeably lack of literature in the study of social change brought by sedentarization and development policies to ethnic groups in the Philippines.

Jaime Del Rosario, OMI, DMin 1 CHRIST’S SHEPHERD AMONG THE DISCIPLES: RE-EXPLORING FORMATION MINISTRY’S SCRIPTURAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, AND THEOLOGICAL GROUNDING IN THE PHILIPPINE CONTEXT by Fr. Jaime Del Rosario, OMI, DMin The dwindling number of Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) college-level seminarians in the Philippines proceeding to their novitiate prompted this researcher’s study of both the situation of these seminarians and contextualizing scriptural, philosophical, and theological principles for a ministerial response. The Pastoral Situation and Method of the Study The aforementioned formands begin with a good number in their first-year in the college-level seminary ranging from fifteen to forty-five freshmen formands in the recent five academic years since 2010. About a quarter of this number continue unto their senior college seminary year and a postulancy year after their college graduation; but those entering the novitiate after postulancy from each of these classes ranged from 0 for two consecutive academic years to 1 to 2 novices for the more recent three years. The contemporary Filipino young persons’ characteristics strongly influence the OMI college-level seminarians themselves, based on what these formands usually narrate of their seminary formative experience for decision-making whether to proceed further into the next stages of the OMI seminary formation.

I see his face in every flower; The thunder and the singing of the birds Are but his voice—and carven by his power Rocks are his written words.
