Philippine Travel Guide the Philippines MANILA INTERNATIONAL SELECTION PANEL PHILIPPINE TRAVEL GUIDE THE PHILIPPINES A sprawling archipelago of over 7,000 islands, the Philippines nestles in the vast Pacific Ocean between the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea. The islands are divided into three main regions—Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Encircled by boundless bodies of water, the Philippines is famed for its pristine, breathtaking beaches. The Philippines’ rich history gave birth to a unique culture, mixed with Asian, European, and American roots. These manifest in an East-meets-West fusion of food, art, festivals, religions, heritage, and entertainment. Nonetheless, pre-colonial traditions continue to persist across the country, evident in the practices of indigenous communities in different regions and the Islamic culture dominant in the island of Mindanao. Amidst widespread influences, a spirit distinct to Filipinos emerges—one of generous hospitality, fervent piety in both Christianity and Islam, and a pulsating passion radiating from all its forms of culture.

  • The First Filipino and Boricua Historians
    Latin American Literary Review Goldwin Smith Hall, Cornell University • Ithaca, NY 14853 • 607-255-4155 Volume 45 / Number 90 2018 E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.lalrp.net Imperial Endnotes: The First Filipino and Boricua Historians Ernest Rafael Hartwell, PhD College of the Holy Cross ABSTRACT: The Philippines and Puerto Rico are part of a transoceanic archipelago of colonies that continued under Spanish rule throughout the 19th century, long after the Latin American wars of independence. This article examines parallel projects in anticolonial historiography from these two regions through the prism of converging and diverging articulations of authority. Specifically, two late 19th-century intellectuals, José Julián Acosta of Puerto Rico and José Rizal of the Philippines, dust off 17th- and 18th-century tomes of official Spanish colonial history, publishing critical editions of these histories. Acosta and Rizal insert their own voices into discussions over the past, present, and future of their colonies through the annotations that they append to the original texts. While scholars often affirm that the work of Latin American 19th-century writing is to facilitate the forgetting of differences in the service of community consolidation, I argue that these experiments in marginal historiography constitute a contentious and continual revisiting of difference at the root of the authors’ assertion of their own authority: difference from Spain, from the popular classes, and from other colonies. These projects of annotation expose the racialized nature of the colonial intellectuals’ constructions of authority, pointing to diverging understandings of the work of doubt in anticolonial historiography. The Philippines and Puerto Rico, often overlooked in studies of Latin American literature and history, are endnotes to Spain’s imperial saga.

The target study area is a Philippine Sea basin (PSB) with two focused marginal areas: Philippine Trench and Mariana Trench, two hadal trenches located in the places of the tectonic plates subduction. Marine free-air gravity anomaly in the PSP shows higher values (>80 mGal) of the gravity fields structure at the volcanic areas and Philippine archipelago. Current study presented comparative geophysical analysis, and mapping free-air gravity and geoid in the Philippine Sea basin area. As a result of this study, the average level of earthquakes located in the Philippine Trench and Mariana Trench areas were compared, and those located in the Philippine archipelago are determined to be in the souther-western part (area of west Mindanao, south-west Visayas islands), while Luzon Islands shown shallower located earthquakes.

  • Team Publishes New Data About the History of the Pacific Ring of Fire 10 February 2017
    Team publishes new data about the history of the Pacific Ring of Fire 10 February 2017 level, it holds the record as the deepest point of the world's ocean. This 4000-kilometer-long trench extends from the Mariana Islands in the south through the Izu-Bonin Islands to Japan in the north. Here, the Pacific Plate is subducted beneath the Philippine Sea Plate, resulting in intense volcanic activity and a high number of earthquakes. The entire area is part of the "Pacific Ring of Fire." But when and how exactly did the subduction of the Pacific Plate begin? This is a controversial topic among scientists. An international team led by the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel, the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and the Australian National University investigated this early phase of subduction along the Izu-Bonin-Mariana trench, with findings published in the March edition of the scientific journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. The graphic shows the early stages of the Izu-Bonin The study is based on a drill core that was obtained subduction zone. The active subduction zone has been by the International Ocean Discovery Program moving eastwards throughout its history. The drilling (IODP) in 2014 with the US research drilling vessel took place where the process has begun.
