OFW '95-PHI was conducted under the academic exchange program between the Graduate School of International Development (GSID) of Nagoya University and the University of the Philippines at Los Banos (UPLB) following OFW '94-PHI which took place in Cavite Province. This time, 25 graduate students (14 female and 11 male) participated in OFW '95-PHI which was designed as an integral part of our formal curricular activities (participants' names and itinerary are listed on page 3-4). The students were divided into the following four working groups (WG) based on their initial interests of field research: WG-1: Economic development (agriculture and non-agriculture) WG-2: Human resource development (education and health) WG-3: Physical development (infrastructure and environmental protection) WG-4: Institutional development (public administration and NGOs, POs). In conducting actual fieldwork, the above four groups were subdivided into eight groups as indicated in parentheses.

  • Philippine History
    Submitted to: Mr. John Paulo Hubahib Submitted by: Tajul, Maria Regina D. History The Province of Laguna was named after Laguna de Bay, the body of water that forms its northern boundary. Laguna de Bay, in turn, was named after the town of Bay (Laguna de Bay is Spanish which means "Lake of Bay"), the first provincial capital. Captain Juan de Salcedo with a band of one hundred Spanish-Mexican soldiers and many Bisayan allies conquered the province and its surrounding regions for Spain in 1571. Seven years later, two Franciscan friars started the work of Christianization. In 1577, the Franciscan missionaries arrived in Manila, and in 1578 they started evangelizing Laguna, Morong (now Rizal), Tayabas (now Quezon) and the Bicol Peninsula. Fathers Juan de Placencia and Diego de Orepesa were the earliest Franciscans sent to these places. From 1580, the towns of Bay, Caliraya, Majayjay, Nagcarlan, Liliw, Pila, Santa Cruz, Lumban, Pangil and Siniloan were founded. In 1678, Fray Hernando Cabrera founded San Pablo de los Montes (now San Pablo City) and built a wooden church and convent considered as the best and finest in the province. In 1670, delimitation of borders were made between Lucban, Majayjay and Cavite. The populous town at that time was Bay, the capital of the province until 1688, when the seat of the provincial government was moved to Pagsanjan, and later, in 1858, to Santa Cruz. In 1754, the Province of Laguna and Tayabas were divided, with the Malinao River separating the towns of Majayjay and Lucban. The province became a bloody battle ground for the Chinese during the two instances that they rose in revolt against Spain.
