Natatangi din ang isyung ito ng PSSC SSI dahilan sa isa sa mga kasapi ng PSSC, ang Philippine National Historical Society na siyang pinakauna sa mga samahangpangkasaysayan sa Pilipinas, ang siyangnagsakatuparan ng paglalathala. Bilang paglilinaw sapapelng agham panlipunan sa pagdiriwang ng sentenaryo, siniaimulan ang isyung ito ng artikulo niSamuel K. Tan ng pagtalakay sa kabuluhan ng pag-aaral ng kasaysayang pampook at pasalita bilang isa sa pangunahing gawain sa pagbubuo ng pagkakakilanlang pambansa. Ang mga sumusunod na artikulo matapos nito ay tumalakay naman sa iba't ibang aspekto ng buhay at kabuhayan ng sambayanan sa loob ng nakaraang isandaang taon. Sinuri sa artikulo ni Paul A. Dumol ang ilang mga isyung kaugnay ng kasaysayan ng civic education sa Pilipinas, Ang papal na tinalakay naman ni Zelda C. Zablan ay nakatuon sa kalagayang pampopulasyon na pinagdaanan ng·Pilipinas sa nakaraang dantaon. Ang papel naman ng mga Tsinong Pilipino sa rebolusyong Pilipino ang tinalakay sa artikulo na isinulat ni Teresita Ang See. Nakatuon ang mga sumunod na tatlong artikulo sa pangkalahatan at partikular na mga isyung pangkasaysayan at panlipunan sa pagsusuri ng rebolusyong Pilipino. Ang artikulo ni Eden M.Gripaldo, halimbawa, ang tumalakay sa kalagayan ng kapanahunan ng 1898 bilang pangunahing panahong ginalawan ng himagsikan. Sa kabilang banda, sinuri ni Emmanuel F. Calairo ang mga nagtutunggaling pananaw sa kontrobersyalna Kumbensyong Teheros na siyang nagdala sa himagsikang Pilipino sa kakaibang kalitatibong kalagayan. Samantala, tinalakay naman ni Ronaldo B. Mactal ang kahalagahan ng mga pakikibakanginilunsadng mga Pilipinong naninirahan sa labas ng Pilipinas sa panahon ng rebolusyon. Ang panghuling bahaging isyung ito ay sinimulan ng artikulo niSamuel K. Tan na nagpapahayag ng metaporika ng lampara ng kalayaan bilang gabay sa paninindigan at pagsusuri ng kalayaan, pati na ang hamon na kinakaharap ng lahat ng mga mamamayan upang panatilihing may ilaw ang lamparang ito ng kalayaan. Bilang panghuli, isinama sa natatan.ging bilang na ito ang ilang mga gawaing isinakatuparan ng mga akademiko at mga historyador sa nakaraang taon sa pagdiriwang ng kalayaan. Ilang mga larawan at balita ang isinama dito upang maisakatuparan ang pagbibigay ng salamin sa naganap na pagdiriwang ng nakaraang taon. Sa inakala ng maraming mga mamamayan, nagtatapos ang pagdiriwang ng sentenaryo ng rebolusyong Pilipino sa taong 1998. Ang higit na kinakailangan nating bigyan ng pansin, na hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay nakaaapekto pa rin sa kalagayan ng lipunang Pilipino, ay ang mga pangyayari matapos ang 1898. Ang digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano at ang ibinungang pananakop ng kolonyalismong Amerikano sa Pilipinas, ay naihudyat sa mga pangyayari na ang ilan ay nagsimula lamang sa 1898. Sa katunayan, ang kabuluhan ng mga pagdiriwang ng sentenaryo ng sambayanan ay makikilala sakabayanihan ng pagpapatuloy ng pakikipaglaban sa bagong mananakop. Ang natatanging bilang na ito, kung gayon, ay maaaring tingnan bilang simula lamang ng kinakailangang kaharaping malalimang pagsusuri sa kasaysayan at lipunang Pilipino sa nakaraang isandaang taon. Francis A. Gealogo Issue Editor 4 Between Two Centur-ies' SA1\fiJEL II{. TAN The year1998 is increasingly becoming the point ofreference ofboth public and private concerns regarding plans for major activities in relation with the Philippine's Centennial celebrations. In fact, the most often referred to event for practically all kinds ofcelebrations or promotional activities is the Philippine independence centennial grand celebration on June 12, 1998. Various meanings are given to the centennial. The business sector looks at it from the "profit and loss statement- in anticipation ofgood profitable sale ofproducts or services with centennial motifor color. The artists and artisans look upon this year as a time for meaningful creativity in designs, forms, while the literary and intellectual sector can view this year as an opportune time for works ofart and publications•.The religious sector has its own way of remembering and celebrating independence with its emphasis on religious cultural heritage. The military undoubtedly likes to ruminate on the sounds and scenes ofthe battles for freedom especially those where the Filipino army was victorious. The educated youth looks for inspiration from the young revolutionists and propagandists like Rizal, Lopez-Jaena, Maria-Ponganibon, Jacinto, Bonifacio, Aguinaldo and many others who lost their lives at a young age fighting for the ideals ofindependence. But how about those who belong to the grassroots level ofour society? How do they regard the centennial plan and celebration? The truth ofthe matter - we do not know. What was obvious late last year and in January this year was that the media has been critical ofthe National Centennial Commission for not doing enough to bring a centennial consciousness to the masses. From the perspective ofthe National Historical Institute, one ofthe coordinating and supporting government agencies ofthe Commission, the answer to the question is the Local and Oral History Centennial Seminar series which begins today in Vigan, the first ofthe 15 regional seminars planned for this year. How can local and oralhistory help?

Bagama’t kaiba sa kontinenteng kinaroroonan, mababakas pa rin ang dimensiyong nag-uugnay sa dalawang estado ng Pasipiko. Kung uungkatin ang kasaysayan, napakatibay ang ugnayang namamagitan sa Australia at Pilipinas sapul pa noong Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig o ang pagpapalaya sa Pilipinas laban sa puwersa ng mga Hapones nang tumakas tungong Australia sina Pangulong Manuel Quezon at buong pamilya noong Pebrero 19, 1942. Ngunit kung tutuusin, sa ganitong kaganapan at alaala lamang nakapako ang ating kamalayan sa tuwing ginugunita natin ang relasyon ng dalawang bansa. Marami pa ang hindi nabubuksan at nabibigyan ng pansin sa kanilang pinag-isang kasaysayan at direktang ugnayan sa kadahilanang hindi ito napaglalaanan ng tuon at pagpapahalaga sa historiograpiya ng mga Area Studies o disiplinal na pag-aaral ng kasaysayan ng ibayong dagat.

  • Political Dynasty in the Philippines Pdf
    Political dynasty in the philippines pdf Continue Political dynasties are present in many countries, even those that identify as democracies. But traditional political families in the Philippines are so infamous that a 2012 piece by the Sydney Morning Herald documented a dynasty on steroids. It is noteworthy that political dynasties in the Philippines continue to expand. The article, published by the Ateneo Policy Center' academic think tank From Fat to Obesity: Political Dynasties after the 2019 midterm elections, argues that political dynasties have become fatter over the past 30 years (or 10 election periods). According to the document, the thin dynasty is one where political families mantle public office on other members consistently. Elections are used by family members to replace each other in a political post. On the other hand, the term fat dynasty refers to the family of politicians, while entering public office. Several members of the clan participate in elections simultaneously, running for various positions. Accordingly, the newspaper is so troubling: The results of the 2019 midterm elections have demonstrated the ability of political dynasties to remain in power, as fat dynasties remain entrenched in many parts of the country. While some prominent political dynasties have lost, the overall picture shows that fat dynasties continue to grow on both intense (i.e., the size of political clans among fat dynasties) as well as vast (i.e., the number of political clans that fat dynasties) fields. The threat to democracy, the continued dominance of particular families in elections, in fact, distorted this political exercise in favour of only a special caste of politicians.

  • An Assessment of the Implementation of Decentralized Forestry Funcions by Two Provinces in the Philippines
    Page 1 of 10 A TALE OF TWO PROVINCES: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DECENTRALIZED FORESTRY FUNCIONS BY TWO PROVINCES IN THE PHILIPPINES Raoul T. Geollegue DENR Region VI Iloilo City, Philippines Introduction "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair..." Decentralization, as it is happening in the Philippines, is a critique to development approaches that have failed to respond to the needs of the people. The trickle-down approach did not eradicate poverty and draw in more of the public in the democratic processes. Widespread dissatisfaction from the grassroots triggered a rethinking of the development model, which eventually became a compelling reason for the Philippine government to initiate decentralization. The decentralization process is anchored in the principles of devolution. In the Philippine's context, the term refers to "the act by which (the) national government confers power and authority upon the various local government units to perform specific functions and responsibilities" (RA 7160, 1991). Republic Act 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991, is a bold move to give life and meaning to decentralization and local autonomy enshrined in the Philippine Constitution. The Act shifts powers, authority and responsibility from the national to the local governments. It is premised on the belief that effective local governance coupled with people's participation results in the empowerment of people and the improvement of their quality of life.

Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said that while the disposal of PPEs in the country is being done accordingly, it could be a challenge in the future if the number of COVID-19 cases in the country continues to swell. Cimatu said strict sanitation measures and proper disposal of wastes are necessary during this time of pandemic to ensure also the health and safety of garbage collectors. Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda, DENR spokesperson and head of the department’s solid waste management, also encouraged households to separately dispose of used face masks, gloves and other COVID-related protection gear.

  • Ethnicity and the Revolution in Panay*
    Ethnicity and the Revolution in Panay* JOSE MANUEL VELMONTE In the war for independence, Filipinos fought the Spaniards, Americans and their fellow Filipinos with almost equal difficulty. When revolutionary president Emilio Aguinaldo sent two expeditionary forces from Luzon to liberate strategic provinces in the Visayas the objective could not be achieved without local resistance. The expeditionary forces met lukewarm, if not hostile, reception from the locals. It did not help that the first of two expedition leaders was inclined to burn down uncooperative communities and that the Visayan elite had other plans for the territory. Having fought the Spaniards without aid from the Luzon government, they found the expeditions intrusive and reacted to them as they would an invasion. They even established a system of government not unlike that of the United States' for the following reasons: one, they wanted to be autonomous from the control of Malolos and two, they wanted freedom to define relations with the United States. The joint revolutionary forces' bungled defense of Iloilo and the fingerpointing that followed hinted the obvious flaws of ethnicity which allow Filipinos to see each other not as countrymen but clansmen. In a war against foreigners, the greater threat lies within the Filipinos themselves. The project started with a view of forming a biographical sketch of General Ananias Diocno who was the head of the expeditionary forces to Capiz in 1898. After poring over documents in the Philippine Insurgent or Revolutionary Records, it became apparent that very little material survived about Diocno. Save for a few letters he wrote, his appointment papers from the central government, the complaints lodged against him, and a couple of sketchy biographies, not much else is known of him.
