Behind these triumphs, however, were the silent years of hardships and struggles; of blood, sweat, and tears that brought them to where they or at least where their children are today. While some of the poignant stories of the early immigrants have been documented, they are focused mostly on the success stories. What few people realize is that for every success story, there are more untold stories of failures and heartbreaks. They have remained _________________________ *First published in Ellen Huang Palanca, ed. China, Taiwan, and the Ethnic Chinese in the Philippine Economy, Chinese Studies, vol. 5.

  • (UPOU). an Explorat
    his paper is a self-reflection on the state of openness of the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU). An exploratory and descriptive study, it aims not only to define the elements of openness of UPOU, but also to unravel the causes and solutions to the issues and concerns that limit its options to becoming a truly open university. It is based on four parameters of openness, which are widely universal in the literature, e.g., open admissions, open curricula, distance education at scale, and the co-creation, sharing and use of open educational resources (OER). It draws from the perception survey among peers, which the author conducted in UPOU in July and August 2012. It also relies on relevant secondary materials on the subject. What if you could revisit and download the questions you took during the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test)? I received information that this will soon be a possibility. It’s not yet official though. For some people, including yours truly, this is the same set of questions that made and unmade dreams. Not all UPCAT takers make it. Only a small fraction pass the test. Some of the passers see it as a blessing. Some see it as fuel, firing their desire to keep working harder. Some see it as an entitlement — instant membership to an elite group. Whatever its worth, the UPCAT is the entryway to the University of the Philippines, a scholastic community with a unique and celebrated tradition spanning more than a century. But take heed — none of its legacy would have been possible if not for the hard work of Filipino taxpayers.

Loren Legarda ran as the opposition vice presidential bet with Estrada’s best friend the late- Fernando Poe Jr as presidential bet in the 2004 national elections. Aquilino Pimentel Jr., Franklin Drilon and Sergio Osmeña III have become Arroyo’s critics. John Osmeña defected to run under the Arroyo senatorial ticket in 2004 but lost. He has rejoined Estrada’s camp. On the other hand, Ramon Revilla (Bong, Jr.) and his son-in-law Robert Jaworski, Juan Ponce Enrile and Miriam Santiago have been supportive of Arroyo’s policies. Revilla’s son (Bong, Jr.) ran under the administration ticket in 2004 and won a Senate seat. The so-called Third Force bets have not aligned themselves with Arroyo.

In the aftermath of the 1986 EDSA Revolution, the pro-Marcos "es- tablishment" newspapers either retreated or closed shop while those which were considered "alternative press" became the mainstream media-Philippine Daily Inquirer and Malaya. The Aquino govern- ment sequestered the major establishment newspapers-the journal Group of publications, Bulletin Today and Philippine Daily Express. Also sequestered were the broadcast stations owned and operated by the so-called Marcos cronies. Pre-martial law media establishments were revived: The Roceses' Manila Times and the Lopezes' Manila Chronicle complete with their reacquisition of ABSCBN Radio Television Network.

  • Disregarding the Rule of Law in Estrada V
    LEGITIMIZING THE ILLEGITIMATE: DISREGARDING THE RULE OF LAW IN ESTRADA V. DESIERTO * AND ESTRADA V. MACAPAGAL-ARROYO * SABRINA M. QUERUBIN ANA RHIA T. MUHI CHARISSE F. GONZALES-OLALIA “Lust of power is the most flagrant of all passions.” - Tacitus1 They say history repeats itself. But it does so in ironic ways. In 1986, the world became witness to a bloodless revolution, where the outraged Filipinos took to the streets and faced the military might of an overstaying President. The EDSA2 People Power Revolution became a part of Philippine history. In 2001, EDSA again became the site of mass protests, this time leading to the downfall of an elected President accused of corruption, ineptitude and immorality, barely half into his legal term. Like its predecessor, People Power II will also be forever a marker in Philippine history. However, unlike its predecessor, People Power II was barely bloodless and definitely not a revolution.3 In 1986, Supreme Court Chief Justice Claudio Teehankee administered the oath as President to Corazon Cojuangco Aquino as revolutionary successor of Ferdinand Edralin Marcos. The oath taking was met with much celebration, as it symbolized hope and freedom from tyranny for the Filipinos. In 2001, Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilario Davide, Jr. * Submitted as one of the entries to the Irene Cortes Award for Best Paper in Constitutional Law on 24 March 2003 at the UP College of Law. * The authors graduated from the UP College of Law in April 2003.

  • Philippine Politics and Society in the Twentieth Century
    Philippine Politics and Society in the Twentieth Century Well over a decade has passed since the dramatic ‘People Power Revolution’ in Manila, yet until now no book-length study has emerged to examine the manifold changes underway in the Philippines in the post-Marcos era. This book fills that gap. Philippine Politics and Society in the Twentieth Century offers historical depth and sophisticated theoretical insight into contemporary life in the archipelago. Organised as a set of interrelated thematic essays rather than a chronological account, the book addresses key topics which will be of interest to the academic and non-academic reader, such as trends in national-level and local politics, the role of ethnic-Chinese capital in the Philippine economy, nationalism and popular culture, and various forms of political violence and extra-electoral contestation. Drawing on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, as well as over a decade of research and work in the area, Hedman and Sidel provide an invaluable overview of the contemporary and historical scene of a much misunderstood part of Southeast Asia. This book fills an important gap in the literature for readers interested in understanding the Philippines as well as students of Asian studies, comparative politics, political economy and cultural studies. Eva-Lotta E. Hedman is Lecturer in Asian-Pacific Politics at the University of Nottingham. John T. Sidel is Lecturer in Southeast Asian Politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.

  • Government-Business Relations in the Overseas Employment Program
    The Recruitment Industry in the Philippines: Government-Business Relations in the Overseas Employment Program Nathan R. Blank A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University i I certify that this thesis is my own original work. ii iii Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the help and support of many people, a few of which I have endeavored to specifically mention here. Above all, I would like to thank my wife Vanessa whose patience, love, and support continually amaze me. Not only did she help with the transcription of over 70 hours of interview recordings, but she happily accompanied me (along with our children) in moving from the U.S. to Australia, then to Manila for five months, back to Australia, and finally back to the U.S. At moments of self- doubt, she has always fortified me with supportive words and actions. My children Liam, Jonas, and Adele also deserve gratitude for happily going along with the travels that have been necessary to accomplish this thesis, and for understanding why their dad is always working at his computer. My parents and in-laws also deserve a great deal of gratitude for their love and support throughout the years leading up to the completion of this thesis. I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to my Ph.D. supervisor Paul Hutchcroft whose support, ideas, and encouragement have caused me to grow tremendously as a scholar. His feedback and advice helped immensely through all stages of this thesis. I would particularly like to thank Paul for first introducing me to the government-business framework, which ultimately played such a prominent role in how this thesis was conceptualized.
