Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights
Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights AURORA ROXAS-LIM* Abstract This research focuses on the ongoing socioeconomic transformation of the sea-oriented Sama-Bajao whose sad plight caught the attention of the government authorities due to the outbreak of violent hostilities between the armed Bangsa Moro rebels and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the 1970s. Among hundreds of refugees who were resettled on land, the Sama- Bajao, who avoid conflicts and do not engage in battles, were displaced and driven further out to sea. Many sought refuge in neighboring islands mainly to Sabah, Borneo, where they have relatives, trading partners, and allies. Massive displacements of the civilian populations in Mindanao, Sulu, and Tawi- Tawi that spilled over to outlying Malaysia and Indonesia forced the central government to take action. This research is an offshoot of my findings as a volunteer field researcher of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) to monitor the implementation of the Indigenous People’s Rights to their Ancestral Domain (IPRA Law RA 8371 of 1997). Keywords: inter-ethnic relations, Sama-Bajao, Taosug, nomadism, demarcation of national boundaries, identity and citizenship, human rights of indigenous peoples * Email: [email protected] V olum e 18 (2017) Roxas-Lim Introduction 1 The Sama-Bajao people are among the sea-oriented populations in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Sama-Bajao are mentioned together and are often indistinguishable from each other since they speak the same Samal language, live in close proximity with each other, and intermarry. -

THE CHAIRMAN As we celebrate 120 years of helping AND PRESIDENT Filipinos achieve lifetime financial security, it is but fitting to also honor the culture of generosity that has been nurtured within our organization. Since our business is founded on taking care of another person’s future, Sun Lifers are naturally attuned to acts of service. And its brightest manifestation is the Sun Life Foundation – where its four pillars of arts and culture, education, health, and environment embody the values that we collectively uphold. Such is the inspiration behind a menu of volunteer activities called “120 Rays of Giving Back,” which rallied both employees and advisors to donate their time and resources to their chosen advocacies. Complemented by the Foundation’s sustainable projects, this nationwide volunteerism drive made our milestone year even more significant. Sun Life Foundation 5 Because for a company to reach more than a century of doing business in a country, it needs to grow its own roots and a sense of being home. Sun Life is home in the Philippines, and we want to continue giving back to communities and families who are most in need. To our partners, thank you for the trust and friendship that you have given us. -

Santiago Bose Striking Affinities Catalogue.Pdf
The exhibition explores the geographic coordinates of Santiago Bose’s practice: Baguio, Manila, New York, Adelaide, Bali, and Spratly Islands. These places are homelands, contact zones, passage ways, hot spots, exhibition sites -- shaping the work of Bose in the same way that the artist in a reciprocal gesture shaped them. They are mapped out in the exhibition to remember the movements of Bose as well as to understand how he likewise speculated on possible worlds beyond the existing cartography within which he circulated with interest, if not with alacrity. Part of the three-part Bose project, this second iteration follows through Bare Necessities, which laid out the groundwork of artistic impulse and the fundamentals of risk. - words by Patrick Flores Hills Hoist 1994 mixed media 49.75h x 33.20w in 126.36h x 84.33w cm inquire book an appointment Bandit 1999 mixed media on plywood 27.5h x 38.25w in 69.85h x 91.16w cm inquire book an appointment “Lola Dianang’s Garden” 1973 51.57h x 20.08w in 131h x 51w cm inquire book an appointment BALI Balinese Diary (Cover) 2000 mixed media 30.50h x 22w in 77.47h x 55.88w cm book an appointment *from the collection of Kim and Felicia Atienza Pages from Bose’s Balinese Diary Pages from Bose’s Balinese Diary Pages from Bose’s Balinese Diary BAGUIO Untitled (Burned with Magnifying Glass) 1995 watercolor on handmade paper 25.25h x 33.25w in 64.14h x 84.45w cm inquire book an appointment Faith Healer (Solar Art Series) 1995 intermedia on handmade paper 35.25h x 28w in 89.53h x 71.12w cm book an appointment -

Van Buren St., Stoughton, WI 53589 Message from Pastor Sara Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. “Easter” seems to go back to the name of a pre-Christian goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at beginning of spring and fertility. The only reference to this goddess comes from the writings of the Venerable Bede, a British monk who lived in the late seventh and early eighth century. Christians observed the day of the Crucifixion on the same day that Jews celebrated the Passover offering—that is, on the 14th day of the first full moon of spring. The Resurrection, then, was observed two days later, on 16 Nisan, regardless of the day of the week. In the West the Resurrection of Jesus was celebrated on the first day of the week, Sunday, when Jesus had risen from the dead. Consequently, Easter was always celebrated on the first Sunday. -
On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action
On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action Some heroes act in the daily round of existing, others act at the moment. This is a book about heroes who were and who are members of the great Movement known as Scouting. Some of them received official recognition for their acts, some did not. On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action narrates stories of Scouts and Scouters who have displayed heroism in the service of fellow human beings. It is a landmark work in the history of BSP publishing. Special thanks to Bong Saculles for creating a digitized copy of this book for the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. All Rights Reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission in writing from the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. To all the Scouts. 1 FOREWORD It is fitting that we remember the past. It is practical that we move with the times. It is important that we serve the youth of today. It is necessary that we face present realities. No monument ever suffices to honor acts of heroism. Imitation is the best praise. So the best tribute which can be rendered to people who have performed heroic acts is to publicize the deed in order that an example can be set before others to inspire them to do likewise. On My Honor: Stories of Scouts in Action narrates stories of Scouts and Scouters who have displayed heroism in the service of fellow human beings. It is a landmark work in the history of BSP publishing. -

The Filipino Ringside Community: National Identity and the Heroic
THE FILIPINO RINGSIDE COMMUNITY : NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE HEROIC MYTH OF MANNY PACQUIAO A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Margaret Louise Costello, B.A. Washington, DC April 30, 2009 THE FILIPINO RINGSIDE COMMUNITY : NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE HEROIC MYTH OF MANNY PACQUIAO Margaret Louise Costello, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Mirjana Dedaic, PhD ABSTRACT One of the main parallels between sport and national identity is that they are both maintained by ritual and symbolism. In the Philippine context, the spectator sport of boxing has grown to be a phenomenon in recent years, perhaps owing to the successive triumphs of contemporary Filipino pugilists in the international boxing scene. This thesis focuses on the case of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao whose matches bring together contemporary Philippine society into a “ringside community”, a collective united by its support of a single fighter bearing the brunt for the nation. I assert that Pacquiao’s stature has transcended that of the sports realm, as he is constructed as a national (i.e., not just sport) hero. As such, I study this phenomenon in two ways. The first part of my analysis focuses on how a narrative of heroism has been instilled in Philippine society through the active promotion of its past heroes. Inherent to this study’s discussion of the Filipino ringside community and heroism is the notion of the habitus. Defined by Pierre Bourdieu as a set of inculcated dispositions which generate practices and perceptions, “a present past that tends to perpetuate itself into the future by reactivation in similarly structured practices” (Bourdieu, 6), the concept of habitus can be directly applied to how the need for a heroic narrative has been inculcated within Philippine contemporary society.
