Luzon - the largest of these islands at about 105,000 km2. Mindanao - The next largest island is at about 95,000 km2.. islands - are divided into three groups: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Luzon islands -include Luzon island itself, Palawan, Mindoro, Marinduque, Masbateand Batanes Islands. Visayas - is the group of islands in the central Philippines, the largest of which are: Panay, Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and Samar. Mindanao islands - include Mindanao itself, plus the Sulu Archipelago, composed primarily of Basilan, Sulu Island, and Tawi-Tawi. 2 PHYSICALSETTING Philippine archipelago - lies in Southeast Asia in a position that has led to its becoming a cultural crossroads, a place where Malays, Arabs, Chinese, Spaniards, Americans, Japanese and others have interacted to forge a unique cultural and racial blend. - numbers some 7,107 islands and the nation claims an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 200 nautical miles (370 km) from its shores. Philippines - occupies an area that stretches for 1,850 kilometers from about the fifth to the twentieth parallels north latitude. Slightly more than 300,000 square kilometers – is the total land area. Only approximately 1,000 of its islands - are populated, and fewer than one-half of these are larger than 2.5 square kilometers. Eleven islands - make up 95 percent of the Philippine landmass, and two of these — Luzon and Mindanao Luzon - measures 105,000 Mindanao – measures 95,000 square kilometers Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao - represent the three principal regions of the archipelago that are identified by the three stars on the Philippine flag. Philippines - is broken up by the sea, topographically, which gives it one of the longest 3 coastlines of any nation in the world. Most Filipinos - live on or near the coast, where they can easily supplement their diet from approximately 2,000 species of fish. Philippine Trough - is found off the coast of eastern Mindanao which descends to a depth of 10,430 meters. Philippines - is part of a western Pacific arc system that is characterized by active volcanoes. The Most Notable Peaks 1. Mount Mayon near Legazpi City, 2. Taal Volcano south of Manila, 3.

The northern Luzon highlands, or Cordillera Central - rise to between 2,500 and 2,750 meters, Sierra Madre in the northeastern portion of Luzon and the mountains of Mindanao - boast rain forests that provide refuge for numerous upland tribal groups. The rain forests also offer prime habitat for more than 500 species of birds, including the Philippine eagle (or monkey-eating eagle), some 800 species of orchids, and some 8,500 species of flowering plants.

Eisenhower who later became the 34th president of the United States ( 1953-1961), another American who was featured in the movie is the American diplomat Paul V. McNutt, who served as US High Commissioner to the Philippines (1945-1946), then later became the first US Ambassador to the Philippines from 1946-1947 immediately after the Philippines gained its independence on July 4, 1946. Ambassador McNutt, born in Franklin, Indiana, served as the 34th Governor of Indiana from 1933 to 1937. Filipino actor, Raymond Bagatsing played the role of President Quezon while Rachel Alejandro, a Filipina, played Mrs. Aurora Quezon in the movie which earned several international awards from various international film festivals worldwide. “Quezon’s Game” is now on an extended run at Century 16 Deer Park, Illinois until February 26.

  • Volume Xxiii
    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOLUME XXIII NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1925 Editor CLARK WISSLER FOREWORD Louis ROBERT SULLIVAN Since this volume is largely the work of the late Louis Robert Sulli- van, a biographical sketch of this able anthropologist, will seem a fitting foreword. Louis Robert Sullivan was born at Houlton, Maine, May 21, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Houlton and was graduated from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, in 1914. During the following academic year he taught in a high school and on November 24, 1915, he married Bessie Pearl Pathers of Lewiston, Maine. He entered Brown University as a graduate student and was assistant in zoology under Professor H. E. Walters, and in 1916 received the degree of master of arts. From Brown University Mr. Sullivan came to the American Mu- seum of Natural History, as assistant in physical anthropology, and during the first years of his connection with the Museum he laid the foundations for his future work in human biology, by training in general anatomy with Doctor William K. Gregory and Professor George S. Huntington and in general anthropology with Professor Franz Boas. From the very beginning, he showed an aptitude for research and he had not been long at the Museum ere he had published several important papers. These activities were interrupted by our entrance into the World War. Mr. Sullivan was appointed a First Lieutenant in the Section of Anthropology, Surgeon-General's Office in 1918, and while on duty at headquarters asisted in the compilation of the reports on Defects found in Drafted Men and Army Anthropology.

  • Duterte, Kant, and Philosophy
    PHAVISMINDA Journal Volume 16 & 17 (May 2018): 61-96. DUTERTE, KANT, AND PHILOSOPHY Raymun J. Festin, SVD Christ the King Mission Seminary-Quezon City Preliminary Remarks: The Ethical Question of Extra-Judicial Killing(s) In a stimulating essay entitled “Why President Duterte Could be Correct [sic],” Bro. Romualdo Abulad, SVD expatiates on one burning political and moral issue currently raging in contemporary Philippine history.1 The main burden of Abulad’s short treatise revolves around the intriguing philosophical-ethical question whether the specter of extra-judicial killings (hereafter EJKs) allegedly being perpetrated by Duterte’s government in its brutal campaign on illegal drugs can be morally justified or philosophically defended. Abulad—a star professor who teaches philosophy at Christ the King Mission Seminary and the University of Sto. Tomás (UST)—is arguably styled as “the most prominent Kantian scholar” in this unhappy land of ours.2 Indeed, his philosophical thoughts and locutions are unquestionably carved from the frozen cube of Kantianism. For Abulad, Immanuel Kant is to philosophy what Magnus Carlsen is to chess—the supreme virtuoso of metaphysical lucubration, the finest connoisseur of what Plato once wistfully described as that “dear delight,” the feast of the gods (philosophy). The fascination of Abulad’s treatise chiefly owes itself to the uncanny way in which he unfolds his thesis and builds up his arguments. He does not bare the body of his unspoken assumptions in a direct and pointed manner. (The title of his essay which is framed as a rhetorical question bears out this 62 R. FESTIN ________________________________________________________________________________ observation.) Nor does he deploy the conventional weapons of persuasion in advancing his ideas and insights.
