  • Reflections on Agoncilloʼs the Revolt of the Masses and the Politics of History
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 3, December 2011 Reflections on Agoncilloʼs The Revolt of the Masses and the Politics of History Reynaldo C. ILETO* Abstract Teodoro Agoncilloʼs classic work on Andres Bonifacio and the Katipunan revolt of 1896 is framed by the tumultuous events of the 1940s such as the Japanese occupation, nominal independence in 1943, Liberation, independence from the United States, and the onset of the Cold War. Was independence in 1946 really a culmination of the revolution of 1896? Was the revolution spearheaded by the Communist-led Huk movement legitimate? Agoncilloʼs book was written in 1947 in order to hook the present onto the past. The 1890s themes of exploitation and betrayal by the propertied class, the rise of a plebeian leader, and the revolt of the masses against Spain, are implicitly being played out in the late 1940s. The politics of hooking the present onto past events and heroic figures led to the prize-winning manuscriptʼs suppression from 1948 to 1955. Finally seeing print in 1956, it provided a novel and timely reading of Bonifacio at a time when Rizalʼs legacy was being debated in the Senate and as the Church hierarchy, priests, intellectuals, students, and even general public were getting caught up in heated controversies over national heroes. The circumstances of how Agoncilloʼs work came to the attention of the author in the 1960s are also discussed. Keywords: Philippine Revolution, Andres Bonifacio, Katipunan society, Cold War, Japanese occupation, Huk rebellion, Teodoro Agoncillo, Oliver Wolters Teodoro Agoncilloʼs The Revolt of the Masses: The Story of Bonifacio and the Katipunan is one of the most influential books on Philippine history.

  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

  • Cepf Final Project Completion Report
    CEPF FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT I. BASIC DATA Organization Legal Name: Cagayan Valley Partners in People Development Project Title (as stated in the grant agreement): Design and Management of the Northeastern Cagayan Conservation Corridor Implementation Partners for this Project: Project Dates (as stated in the grant agreement): December 1, 2004 – June 30, 2007 Date of Report (month/year): August 2007 II. OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. Civil society -non-government organizations and people’s organizations, together with the academe and the church- have long been in the forefront of environmental protection in the Cagayan Valley region since the 1990s. They were and still are very active in the multi-sectoral forest protection committee and community-based forest resource management (CBFM) activities. A shift towards a conservation orientation came as a natural consequence of the Rio Summit and in view of the observation that biodiversity conservation was a neglected component of CBFM. Aside from this, there began to be implemented in region 02 biodiversity conservation projects under the CPPAP- GEF, Dutch assisted conservation and development project all in Isabela and the German assisted CBFM and Conservation project in the province of Quirino. Alongside with this was the push for the corridor approach. The CEPF assisted project is a conservation initiative that has come just at the right time when there was an upswing of interest in Cagayan in biodiversity conservation and environment protection. It came as a conservation felt need for the province of Cagayan in view of the successful pro-active actions in the neighboring province of Isabela which led to the establishment of the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park.

Aside from being a tourism site it is the primary water source for agricultural lands along the stretch of the river. It also serves as a fishing ground to the residents because of its potential as habitat to native, endemic, migratory and indigenous fish and other aquatic organisms. Being a pathway to native, endemic and migratory species in the region, protecting the Amburayan River ecosystem and conserving its ecological integrity enhances its productivity. The assessment of fishing gears and practices used including the fish species caught by these gears is important in the management of the resources. This study on fishing gears and practices was done in three municipalities in Benguet namely; Atok, Kapangan and Kibungan. Fishing gears and practices were determined through interview with the locals in focus group discussions and direct observation during fishing. This study revealed that there are different fishing gears and practices being employed along the Amburayan River. Most of which are traditional knowledge-based and used depending on the season and location of fishing area.
