  • History of Quezon City Public Library
    HISTORY OF QUEZON CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY The Quezon City Public Library started as a small unit, a joint venture of the National Library and Quezon City government during the incumbency of the late Mayor Ponciano Bernardo and the first City Superintendent of Libraries, Atty. Felicidad Peralta by virtue of Public Law No. 1935 which provided for the “consolidation of all libraries belonging to any branch of the Philippine Government for the creation of the Philippine Library”, and for the maintenance of the same. Mayor Ponciano Bernardo 1946-1949 June 19, 1949, Republic Act No. 411 otherwise known as the Municipal Libraries Law, authored by then Senator Geronimo T. Pecson, which is an act to “provide for the establishment, operation and Maintenance of Municipal Libraries throughout the Philippines” was approved. Mrs. Felicidad A. Peralta 1948-1978 First City Librarian Side by side with the physical and economic development of Quezon City officials particularly the late Mayor Bernardo envisioned the needs of the people. Realizing that the achievements of the goals of a democratic society depends greatly on enlightened and educated citizenry, the Quezon City Public Library, was formally organized and was inaugurated on August 16, 1948, with Aurora Quezon, as a guest of Honor and who cut the ceremonial ribbon. The Library started with 4, 000 volumes of books donated by the National Library, with only four employees to serve the public. The library was housed next to the Post Office in a one-storey building near of the old City Hall in Edsa. Even at the start, this unit depended on the civic spirited members of the community who donated books, bookshelves and other reading material.

  • CHAPTER 1: the Envisioned City of Quezon
    CHAPTER 1: The Envisioned City of Quezon 1.1 THE ENVISIONED CITY OF QUEZON Quezon City was conceived in a vision of a man incomparable - the late President Manuel Luis Quezon – who dreamt of a central place that will house the country’s highest governing body and will provide low-cost and decent housing for the less privileged sector of the society. He envisioned the growth and development of a city where the common man can live with dignity “I dream of a capital city that, politically shall be the seat of the national government; aesthetically the showplace of the nation--- a place that thousands of people will come and visit as the epitome of culture and spirit of the country; socially a dignified concentration of human life, aspirations and endeavors and achievements; and economically as a productive, self-contained community.” --- President Manuel L. Quezon Equally inspired by this noble quest for a new metropolis, the National Assembly moved for the creation of this new city. The first bill was filed by Assemblyman Ramon P. Mitra with the new city proposed to be named as “Balintawak City”. The proposed name was later amended on the motion of Assemblymen Narciso Ramos and Eugenio Perez, both of Pangasinan to “Quezon City”. 1.2 THE CREATION OF QUEZON CITY On September 28, 1939 the National Assembly approved Bill No. 1206 as Commonwealth Act No. 502, otherwise known as the Charter of Quezon City. Signed by President Quezon on October 12, 1939, the law defined the boundaries of the city and gave it an area of 7,000 hectares carved out of the towns of Caloocan, San Juan, Marikina, Pasig, and Mandaluyong, all in Rizal Province.

  • Clean Elections and the Great Unwashed Vote Buying and Voter Education in the Philippines
    Clean Elections and the Great Unwashed Vote Buying and Voter Education in the Philippines Frederic Charles Schaffer APRIL 2005, PAPER NUMBER 21 ©Unpublished by Frederic Charles Schaffer The Occasional Papers of the School of Social Science are versions of talks given at the School’s weekly Thursday Seminar. At these seminars, Members present work-in-progress and then take questions. There is often lively conversation and debate, some of which will be included with the papers. We have chosen papers we thought would be of interest to a broad audience. Our aim is to capture some part of the cross-disciplinary conversations that are the mark of the School’s programs. While members are drawn from specific disciplines of the social sciences—anthropology, economics, sociology and political science—as well as history, philosophy, literature and law, the School encourages new approaches that arise from exposure to different forms of interpretation. The papers in this series differ widely in their topics, methods, and disciplines. Yet they concur in a broadly humanistic attempt to under- stand how, and under what conditions, the concepts that order experience in different cultures and societies are produced, and how they change. Frederic Schaffer is Research Associate at the Center for International Studies at M. I. T. He was a Member in the year 2003-04, when the School’s focus had turned to bio-medical ethics. But Schaffer’s work harkened back to questions of corruption. His research focuses primarily on the impact of local cultures on the operation of electoral institutions, with a geographic focus on Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.

  • Alienation and the Reform of Vote Buying in the Philippines
    Disciplinary Reactions: Alienation and the Reform of Vote Buying in the Philippines Frederic Charles Schaffer Associate Professor Department of Political Science E53-435 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139 617-253-3138 [email protected] 8-22-02 draft Prepared for delivery at: “Trading Political Rights: The Comparative Politics of Vote Buying,” International Conference, Center for International Studies, MIT, Cambridge, August 26-27, 2002. The 2002 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, Boston, August 29 - Sept 1, 2002. Clean election reform in any country is in part a disciplinary project.1 To reform an electoral system - to reduce or eliminate vote buying, voter intimidation, fraudulent voting, ballot box stuffing, and the like - is to prohibit or make unacceptable certain kinds of acts. This reality suggests a need to study carefully whether reformers have an adequate understanding of the people and practices they seek to reform. History shows us that this is often not the case, especially when the object of reform is the “other” (Scott 1998). It also suggests a related need to understand how people who are the target of reform experience and react to these disciplinary efforts. Whether voters (who are the subject of this paper, but other actors as well) protest, acquiesce, resist, subvert, or embrace specific measures will have significant implications for their implementation and ultimate effect. Rarely are these aspects of clean election reform studied. One intriguing exception is the archival research of Déloye and Ihl (1991) into voided ballots cast during the 1881 French legislative elections. To reduce social pressure on voters, French lawmakers had introduced paper ballots, and imposed strict rules to disqualify ballots with extraneous writing or markings on them.
