  • A Requiem for Cementerio Balicbalic, Sampaloc, Manila (1884-1925)
    NOTE: DRAFT VERSION (Citations for references are not complete. Numbers in red bold are guides to the slideshow presentation that accompanied the delivery of paper). For comments/reactions, please send email to [email protected]) Paper Delivered During the 19th Annual Manila Studies Conference, Colegio de San Juan Letran, Muralla Street, Intramuros, Manila, Aug 31-Sept 1, 2010 A Requiem for Cementerio Balicbalic, Sampaloc, Manila (1884-1925). By Martin R. Gaerlan INTRODUCTION (1) Good Morning and Thank you. ( 2) For this researcher, trying to recapture the past and recovering whatever remains of the dead story of Cementerio Balicbalic, started as a personal and pastoral, rather than an academic or professional research endeavour. During the many pastoral planning workshops in the early 1990’s, the Most Holy Trinity Parish (MHTP) pastoral council leaders often faced a blank wall, a corporate amnesia if you will, on the beginnings of the parish prior to 1925. (3) The parish leaders recognized that they needed to remember. They needed to remember and lay to rest the untold story of this once sacred ground for the dead. Certainly, there were the oral tales, best told during the late evening parish workshops, of the old church grounds littered with tombstones, or of finds of human skeletal remains, or of the encounter with some ghostly apparition. (4) One particular story links the place name Balicbalic to a peculiar funeral procession practice of the residents of San Miguel, Manila. Atong P. Reyes (1982), in an article published in the 50th Anniversary Souvenir program of MHTP, described how the funeral entourage navigated their way towards Cementerio Balicbalic in a strange reluctant manner.i After taking twenty steps forward, someone shouted “balic” which was repeated a number of times.

  • Intramuros During the American Colonization
    Intramuros during the American Colonization Irene G. BORRAS1 University of Santo Tomas MANILA ABSTRACT Intramuros, located in the capital city of the Philppines, became a symbolic siting that represents one’s social status and importance in society during the Spanish colonization. Also known as the “Walled City,” Intramuros is home to the oldest churches, schools, and government offices in the Philippines. When the Americans decided to colonized the Philippines, they did not have to conquer all the islands of the archipelago. They just have to secure Intramuros and the entire country fell to another colonizer. The goal of this paper is to identify the effects of creating a “center” or a city––from the way it is planned and structured––on one’s way of thinking and later on the attitude of the people towards the city. Specifically, the paper will focus on the important and symbolic structures near and inside the “walled city” and its effects on the mindset of the people towards the institutions that they represent. The paper will focus on the transition of Intramuros from a prestigious and prominent place during the Spanish colonization to an ordinary and decaying “Walled City” during the American period. Significantly, the paper will discuss the development of “Extramuros” or those settlements outside the walled city. It will give focus on the planning of Manila by Daniel Burnham during the American period which was basically focused on the development of the suburbs outside Intramuros. The paper will also discuss the important establishments built outside the Walled City during the American period.

  • Medieval Manila: Life at the Dawn of the 20Th Century
    Asian Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities 1:2 (2011): 95–117 Medieval Manila: Life at the Dawn of the 20th Century Jason A. de las Alas ABSTRACT The Spanish established the city of Manila upon similar principles used to found medieval European cities. However, Manila by the dawn of the 20th century was already an antiquated and obsolete human settlement. This paper depicts the crude life people endured inside the city, comparable to conditions in the medieval cities of Western Europe centuries before. It will establish that Manila was underdeveloped and poorly maintained despite three centuries of Spanish rule. This paper explores the life both of the elite and of the ordinary resident of the Walled City, focusing on the aspects of house design, the social graces, urban problems, transportation, and communication. KEYWORDS: Manila, City Planning and Living, Urban Development Introduction The old city of Manila was the center of colonial rule in the Philippine archipelago at the beginning of the 20th century. The Spanish domination that lasted three hundred years was coming to a close and a new, much younger nation was taking the place of the weakened European colonizer. Spain was not the global empire that it was centuries before (Hahn 27). Spanish Manila, founded as a colonial settlement, had served as the center of governance and culture in the colony. Despite the changing times, it maintained its character and nature, which were both European and native at the same time. In the feudal era, a town or a city provided its inhabitants with employment as well as everything else they needed (Pounds 1).

  • The American Colonial and Contemporary Traditions
    THE AMERICAN COLONIAL AND CONTEMPORARY TRADITIONS The American tradition in Philippine architecture covers the period from 1898 to the present, and encompasses all architectural styles, such as the European styles, which came into the Philippines during the American colonial period. This tradition is represented by churches, schoolhouses, hospitals, government office buildings, commercial office buildings, department stores, hotels, movie houses, theaters, clubhouses, supermarkets, sports facilities, bridges, malls, and high-rise buildings. New forms of residential architecture emerged in the tsalet, the two-story house, and the Spanish-style house. The contemporary tradition refers to the architecture created by Filipinos from 1946 to the present, which covers public buildings and private commercial buildings, religious structures, and domestic architecture like the bungalow, the one-and-a-half story house, the split-level house, the middle-class housing and the low-cost housing project units, the townhouse and condominium, and least in size but largest in number, the shanty. History The turn of the century brought, in the Philippines, a turn in history. Over three centuries of Spanish rule came to an end, and five decades of American rule began. The independence won by the Philippine Revolution of 1896 was not recognized by Spain, nor by the United States, whose naval and military forces had taken Manila on the pretext of aiding the revolution. In 1898 Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States, and after three years of military rule the Americans established a civil government. With a new regime came a new culture. The English language was introduced and propagated through the newly established public school system.
