MARGARITO B. TEVES Secretary Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE Roxas Boulevard Corner Pablo Ocampo, Sr. Street Manila 1004 MESSAGE The development and publication of the Philippine Valuation Standards (1st Edition) – Adoption of the IVSC Valuation Standards under Philippine Setting represents a major milestone in the Philippine land reform program. Through its Second Land Administration and Management Project (LAMP2) Government has made a long-term commitment to a broad program of reforms which include improving the quality of government and private sector property appraisal performance. The implementation of the Philippine Valuation Standards (1st Edition) – Adoption of the IVSC Valuation Standards under Philippine Setting will help us to meet the program’s core objectives of ‘Implementing a valuation system that will assess property values at their true market levels’ and ‘Developing an effective and transparent land valuation system that is in line with internationally accepted standards’. Valuation Standards are the foundation of the property valuation process and are relevant to many other aspects of the land reform program including the professionalization of real estate services, legislative reform and educational training. Their application will improve the accuracy, quality, fairness, and transparency of valuations and valuation reporting, which in turn will lead to greater confidence and reduce financial risk for those using them. In particular, the adoption by the public sector of a uniform set of valuation standards which is consistent with international best practice will provide consistency within local government assessors and national government agencies, develop a wider understanding by the general public and help to provide equitable solutions to those affected by valuations. At the same time it will afford greater protection for government from financial loss due to conflicting approaches, misunderstandings, or negligence. Perhaps most importantly, the adoption of these standards is a major achievement in the harmonization of valuation service provision in the Philippines with international best practice and their impact will be felt across the valuation profession. I also recognize that while this publication represents a noteworthy achievement, it is not the end of the process. The economic, financial, and social environment is a dynamic one which requires an equally dynamic response. The valuation profession within the Philippines must be ready to respond to changes both internally within the country and externally as part of the global community. Under the land reform program it is intended to establish a National Valuation Authority that will assume responsibility for the adoption and future maintenance of valuation standards for the profession as a whole. Therefore, I not only view with pride our achievement in publishing these Philippine Valuation Standards (1st Edition) – Adoption of the IVSC Valuation Standards under Philippine Setting, but also look forward to future editions responding to future requirements and which will continue to reflect international best practice.

  • History and Mysteries of Miag-Ao Church: an Interview with Msgr
    Photo by Norman Posecion taken at 3 AM on Good Friday, 2013 before the start of the ‘Pagtaltal’ procession with the Milky Way lighting up the skies above. History and Mysteries of Miag-ao Church: An interview with Msgr. Claudio S. Sale by Jonathan R. Matias Sulu Garden, Miag-ao, Iloilo Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015 with Arjun P. Palmos and Jacob Adrian Lorella I have always wanted to know more about Miag-ao Church beyond the often rehashed trivia written in travel blogs and the bland descriptions of the church in Wikipedia and similar type of information sources. I always considered any house of worship like a living being. It has a colorful, complicated past and uncertain future. It has mysteries and legends. Its daily life has a rhythm of its own, a dynamic personality being shaped slowly by the changing times and the people. Miag-ao Church is very much alive. Only if its sandstone walls could talk. What stories we would hear from the many centuries that have passed and the tens thousands who whispered stories within its wall. Of stories and gossips, of intrigues and of pure religious expressions of the faithfuls. The Facebook post by ‘Bobot’ Montealto (Miagao Hits) in December 22, 2014 on the subject of the 55th Sacerdotal Anniversary of Monsignor Claudio S. Sale made me pause. (Frankly, I did not know what sacerdotal meant and had to look it up in the dictionary which is defined as “of or relating to priesthood.” Just in case you didn’t either, now you know!).

  • Global Baroque – Transcultural and Transhistorical Aspects: Some Prelimenary Reflections
    Global Baroque – transcultural and transhistorical aspects: some prelimenary reflections Jens Baumgarten Professor at Art History Department – Federal University of São Paulo – UNIFESP ABSTRACT In the last years the term of a global baroque bacame more prominent. This article presented as prelimenary reflections intends to contextualize this transhistorical and transcultural approach within the developments of the so-called global art history. It also tries to (de-)construct its historiographical fundaments in the 19th century as well as its possible theoretical implications for the 21st century. KEYWORDS Baroque, Theory, Historiography. Fig. 1: Façade of San Joaquin Church, 1869, Iloilo, Philippines. Photo: Jens Baumgarten. RHAA 24 - JUL/DEZ 2015 29 Fig. 2: Façade of Miagao Church, 1787, Iloilo, Philippines. Photo: Jens Baumgarten. The façade of the church San Joaquin on the Filipino island of Iloilo shows on its upper part a monumental relief [Fig. 1]. It joins several scenes of the victory of the Spanish victory over the “Moors” in the battle of Tétouan, which happened in 1860 in Morrocos. The representation surprizes by its stylistic and iconographical choices. The history painting of the 19th century was already established, but the choice of the local authorities followd in a record time – the execution happened already in 1865 – followed the Baroque models of a specific Filipino model. This model can for example be found in the Miagao Church only 40 kilometers of distance [Fig. 2]. This example not only proves the expression of Kosselleck: “Gleichzeitigkeit des Ungleichzeitigen” (Simultaneoutiy of the unsimultaneous), but show the possibilities of a transcultural and transhistorical baroque approach to understand these phenomens as well as these kind of artifacts, which were excluded from a traditional art history.

Annex I contains the full text of the retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value concerned. Draft Decision: 36 COM 8E, see Point II. I. Background 1. A Statement of Outstanding Universal Value represents a formalization, in an agreed format, of the reasons why a World Heritage property has Outstanding Universal Value.
