  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Pepper Anthracnose in the Philippines: Knowledge Review and Molecular Detection of Colletotrichum Acutatum Sensu Lato
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 16 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0355.v1 Pepper anthracnose in the Philippines: knowledge review and molecular detection of Colletotrichum acutatum sensu lato Mark Angelo Balendres* and Fe Dela Cueva Institute of Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines 4031 * Corresponding Author: M. A. Balendres ([email protected]) Abstract This paper reviews the current knowledge of pepper anthracnose in the Philippines. We present research outputs on pepper anthracnose from the last three years. Then, we present evidence of the widespread occurrence of C. acutatum sensu lato in the Philippines. Finally, we highlight some research prospects that would contribute towards developing an integrated anthracnose management program. Keywords: Colletotrichum truncatum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, chilli anthracnose, polymerase chain reaction assay, disease distribution I. Knowledge review of pepper anthracnose in the Philippines Pepper in the Philippines Pepper (Capsicum sp.) is an important vegetable crop in the family Solanaceae. It is mainly added as a spice or condiment in various dishes. In the Philippines, there is a demand for pepper in both the fresh and processing markets. However, it is a relatively small industry compared to other vegetable crops, e.g., tomato. The Cordillera and Northern Mindanao regions produce the most but, other areas, e.g., in the CALABARZON and Central Luzon, also steadily produce pepper. The price of pepper can reach to as high as Php1,000 per Kg (USD 20), making pepper cultivation attractive to small-scale growers as a source of income. Within three months, depending on the pepper variety, growers can start harvesting the fruits, that could last to several priming’s (harvests).

SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper.
