Colonial Articulations: English Instruction and the 'Benevolence' Colonial Articulations: English Instruction and the ‘Benevolence’ of U.S. Overseas Expansion in the Philippines, 1898-1916 By Funie Hsu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Education and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel Perlstein, Chair Professor Zeus Leonardo Professor Beth Piatote Spring 2013 Colonial Articulations: English Instruction and the ‘Benevolence’ of U.S. Overseas Expansion in the Philippines, 1898-1916 © 2013 By Funie Hsu Abstract Colonial Articulations: English Instruction and the ‘Benevolence’ of U.S. Overseas Expansion in the Philippines, 1898-1916 By Funie Hsu Doctor of Philosophy in Education Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel Perlstein, Chair Even though historians are increasingly pointing to the importance of colonialism in U.S. history, an investigation of the role of colonialism in the shaping of American public schooling has been largely unexamined in education. This dissertation focuses on the colonial legacy as it pertains to English instruction, highlighting the case of the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century. This project provides a close examination of Philippine Public Law 74, the colonial education policy that mandated English as the language of instruction, and investigates the social and political conditions that motivated the policy. Employing a historical methods approach, this study examines how the U.S. education policy of English instruction organized both the school system and the broader project of American colonialism. Moreover, this dissertation examines the process by which the history of U.S. overseas conquest in the Philippines has been forgotten. This dissertation demonstrates that a gendered and racialized discourse of education was central to efforts in reconciling the contradiction that U.S. colonialism posed to American democracy. It illuminates the manner in which gendered constructions of the American English teachers as feminine and nurturing-- as juxtaposed with the image of the aggressive male soldier—enabled the institution of American colonial education in to create a domesticating illusion of peace. Through the mechanism of English instruction, American officials were able to articulate their presence as “benevolent tutelage” rather than imperial expansion, thereby erasing the violence of colonialism and instructing the forgetting of U.S. overseas conquest. In other words, English instruction provided an ideological justification and institutional method to literally rewrite the history of U.S. empire. This study highlights the political role of English instruction in U.S. colonial expansion; and it examines the manner in which notions of gender, domesticity, and race were embedded in the ideology and implementation of U.S. colonial English instruction. 1 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to 溫 細 琴/Wendy Hsu & 徐 正 陽/Cheng Yang Hsu. The poetry of your lives exceeds the limits of our society. I am always listening and learning.

Many non-paper beings and elements have contributed to the growth of these many pages, all of who were crucial to its existence. They have nurtured every word and lived with me in the blank spaces. My deepest gratitude to my dissertation committee: Daniel Perlstein, Zeus Leonardo, and Beth Piatote. Your comments were always insightful and opened up new directions for exploration. Thank you for your ongoing support. I could not have asked for a more meaningful doctoral experience. I have also received tremendous support from the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality. Mel Chen, Minoo Moallem, and Juana María Rodríguez provided rigorous feedback on versions of my chapter as well as general doctoral guidance. They strengthened my understanding of the world in relation to the place of women, and vice versa. These pages have also been benefited from the care of classmates in the Spring 2011 DE Dissertation Writing Seminar as well as the Fall 2010 Writing Across Genre Seminar. Chance meetings at conferences and time shared in office hours have done much to push my thinking. Thank you to Gray Brechin, Eileen Tamura, Catherine Ceniza Choy, and Roland Sintos Coloma for the little comments and brief discussions that I then took home and grew into bigger thoughts. Your generosity of spirit and time will be remembered. I am grateful for the financial support from the American Educational Research Association Minority Dissertation Fellowship, the UC Dissertation Year Fellowship, and the Bancroft Library Study Award. Additionally, I would like to thank the librarians and archivist at the Bancroft Library, the American Historical Collection of the José Rizal Library, the Library of Congress, and the National Archive. Your efforts in preserving our history are heroic and very much appreciated. For the people who understood that a dissertation is never just about a dissertation, thank you for keeping my eyes and heart open to the world. Jack Boas, Norma Smith, Helen Mao, Sam Wu, David Lai, Felix Cheng, Petrina Chi, Linda Huynh, Ai Lin Chua, Grace Quaker, I am grateful for all the cat sitting, meal sharing, and friendship building. Erica Boas and Kenzo Sung…we did it! I can never thank you enough for being my comrades, and I will never stop trying. Finally, Dad, Mom, Connie, B.B, and Hondo Lobley, words escape me, but I hope that you understand the depth of my gratitude. Thank you for helping me balance intellectual growth with wisdom. You are my home. iii Preface As an elementary school teacher, I came across an educational conundrum that has served as the motivation for this study. Quite a few of my students of color were mislabeled as English Language Learners. Many spoke English as fluently as their “English Only” counterparts, yet they were still categorized as English Language Learners. Many of these students were Filipino American and came from a history of English language familiarity due to the legacy of American conquest. This illuminated the complex historical context embedded within this contemporary educational concern. Yet our language classification system did not account for this legacy. It was clear to me that my students’ language misclassification could only be partially explained by faulty assessment tools and inefficient policies. Rather, I had a haunting sense that there were much larger historical forces at play, and that they continue to shape the lives of today’s students. This study is an examination of some of these historical forces and the ways that they have emerged through English instruction. In doing so, it highlights an important manner by which we as a society have learned to forget our history. vi Chapter 1: Introduction Instructions for Nationhood “The White Man’s Burden.” The Journal (Detroit), also published in The Literary Digest, Vol. XVIII,No. 7, 1 February 18, 1899 [artist: Thomas May] The United States entered into the 20th century amidst gunshots and battle cries. It was the sound of a nation bursting at its seams. Geographically, the U.S. was asserting its expansion beyond continental boundaries. Politically, tensions were surmounting on the issue of overseas conquest and its threat to the very foundations of American republicanism. Opposing the expansionists, anti-imperialists adamantly decried the U.S.’s role in overseas territorial acquisition, finding it contrary to the American pillars of democratic self-rule. Indeed, the United States was facing a crisis of self. The issue of the Philippines, that is, the U.S. colonization of the islands, was at the center of the most heated political debates of its time. It played a central role in the presidential campaign of 1900, which gave incumbent McKinley reign to pursue an imperialist agenda in the Pacific archipelago. Leading American figures, from politicians 1 As cited in Abe Ignacio et al., The Forbidden Book (San Francisco, CA: T’Boli, 2004), 30. 1 and business elites to literary titans such as Mark Twain, were involved in catapulting the conversation

Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines.

  • Philippine History and Government
    Remembering our Past 1521 – 1946 By: Jommel P. Tactaquin Head, Research and Documentation Section Veterans Memorial and Historical Division Philippine Veterans Affairs Office The Philippine Historic Past The Philippines, because of its geographical location, became embroiled in what historians refer to as a search for new lands to expand European empires – thinly disguised as the search for exotic spices. In the early 1400’s, Portugese explorers discovered the abundance of many different resources in these “new lands” heretofore unknown to early European geographers and explorers. The Portugese are quickly followed by the Dutch, Spaniards, and the British, looking to establish colonies in the East Indies. The Philippines was discovered in 1521 by Portugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and colonized by Spain from 1565 to 1898. Following the Spanish – American War, it became a territory of the United States. On July 4, 1946, the United States formally recognized Philippine independence which was declared by Filipino revolutionaries from Spain. The Philippine Historic Past Although not the first to set foot on Philippine soil, the first well document arrival of Europeans in the archipelago was the Spanish expedition led by Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan, which first sighted the mountains of Samara. At Masao, Butuan, (now in Augustan del Norte), he solemnly planted a cross on the summit of a hill overlooking the sea and claimed possession of the islands he had seen for Spain. Magellan befriended Raja Humabon, the chieftain of Sugbu (present day Cebu), and converted him to Catholicism. After getting involved in tribal rivalries, Magellan, with 48 of his men and 1,000 native warriors, invaded Mactan Island.

  • Church Realities in the Philippines: 1900-1965
    Church Realities in the Philippines: 1900-1965 Ramón Stephen B. AGUILÓS* 1. Introduction This year, 1998, the Philippines commemorates the centenary since her independ- ence from a foreign domination. At the time of this writing, it is «all-systems-go» for this former Spanish colony, with both government agencies and non-government organizations pooling all human and material resources for a successful once-in-a-lifetime celebration. In the academe, various historical societies have been organized —if not revived— both in the national and regional levels, in an effort to put into writing slices and fragments in history that have been for long relegated to oral traditions and folklore. «What happened to the Church in the Philippines of the post-Spanish era?» Or, «How did the Filipinos fare being Catholics after our forebears left their shores for good?». These are questions perennially posed by modern-day Spanish nationals about the country Spain had ruled for close to four centuries. A short paragraph culled from a paper presented to the Faculty of Theology of the University of Navarre in 1995 by a Spanish lady-scholar shows the demographic profile of contemporary Philippine Church: «The Philippines is a clear testimony of the good seed of faith sowed there by the Spa- nish missionaries, and the pastoral efforts of those who followed them thereafter. Today in those islands there exist thirteen ecclesiastical provinces with a total of thirty-one suffragan dioceses. * Ramón Aguilós, who holds a Doctorate in Sacred Theology (STD) by the University of Navarre (1996), is presently the Vice Rector for Administration at the same time professor of St.

  • The Case of Project Citizen in the Philippines: Examining The
    THE CASE OF PROJECT CITIZEN IN THE PHILIPPINES: EXAMINING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A GRASSROOTS CIVIC EDUCATION PROGRAM by TANYA REKOW WALKER (Under the Direction of Dr. Kathleen deMarrais) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine how and why a small non-governmental organization called the Philippine Center for Civic Education and Democracy (PCCED) chose to implement the Project Citizen curriculum, a project-based civic education program promoting civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions, in the Philippine schools. Attention was given to how Project Citizen was adapted for, and implemented in, the Philippine context. The origins of PCCED, its objectives, and how stakeholders perceived program effectiveness were explored. By examining how the PCCED implemented Project Citizen in Manila schools, I investigated how democratic education is maintained in a developing nation faced with the marginalization of civic education in the national curriculum. This qualitative case study relied on interviews, observations, and documents as the main data sources. A comparative education theoretical framework served as my interpretive perspective, and more specifically, I applied Phillips and Ochs’s (2004) policy borrowing and lending model to test its utility with a grassroots case of policy adoption. The data analysis process was guided by Vavrus and Bartlett’s (2014) vertical case study method which relies equally on three different dimensions of comparison: the horizontal, the vertical, and the transversal. The findings of this research indicated that Project Citizen’s growth in its reach and membership since its adoption was the result of several interconnected factors. First, seeking to prevent further marginalization of civic education in the national curriculum, the PCCED offered Project Citizen as an extracurricular participatory citizenship program to engage students, solve community problems, and promote political efficacy.

ALDAY ORCID No. 0000-0002-3504-3786 [email protected] Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City, Philippines ABSTRACT Higher educational system has gone through substantial reforms and changes vis-à-vis curriculum innovation over the past years. The evaluation of a revised pro- gram is one of the most relevant courses of action done when curriculum change is to be implemented. One of the main reasons is that it is a chance for practitioners to test for themselves if their plan is working. It also serves as an identification of the strengths and weaknesses of the said intervention. This study was conducted to assess the results of the implementation of the Bachelor of Science in Medical Labo- 120 International Peer Reviewed Journal ratory Science program. It employed descriptive survey using two types of self-made questionnaire, the Likert scale and open-ended type survey. Likewise, data on the results of the graduates’ licensure examinations and status of employment were also analyzed and correlated.
