BAGUIO CITY AND BENGUET LONG LIVE THE FILIPINO!!! 175K children to be vaccinated against Japanese encephalitis AGUIO CITY – More than one hundred seventy five thousand children region- Bwide aged nine to fifty nine months are being eyed to be vaccinated by health personnel against the dreaded Japanese encephalitis viral infection. Dr. Amelita M. Pangilinan, regional director of the Cordillera office of the Depart- ment of Health (DOH-CAR), said that the mass vaccination of children in the said age bracket will be done by health personnel until March to spare the children from being afflicted with the viral infection which is one of the diseases subjected to surveillance. Last year, the DOH-CAR recorded 24 confirmed Japanese encephalitis cases in the region with Baguio city, Benguet and Kalinga having 5 cases each, Apayao and Ifugao with 3 cases each, Abra with 2 and Mountain Province with only a single case. Pangilinan claimed there is likely an increase in Japanese encephalitis transmis- sion in areas where there are presence of pigs and water birds, domestic ducks and chickens while those living near culex breeding sites such as ricefields, water ponds, and canals are also exposed to acquiring the said illness. Further, she disclosed that Japanese encephalitis has also been detected in urban areas while it is also expected to skyrocket during the onslaught of the rainy season. Health authorities stated that Japanese encephalitis virus is the main cause of viral encephalitis in many countries of Asia with an estimated 68,000 clinical cases every year and from 2015 to 2018, 64 laboratory confirmed cases were reported in the Cordillera. Transmitted through the bite of the culex mosquito, experts explained that children below 15 years old are most at risk of Japanese encephalitis although the said illness is rare but the case fatality rate can as high as 30 percent. The DOH-CAR official explained that permanent neurologic psychiatric sequelae can occur in 30 to 50 percent of those with Japanese encephalitis and that safe and effective vaccine are available to prevent the disease which is Cont. on page 3 Baguio lass is one PMA Tarps - Banners of the Philippine Military Academy alumni are of nine philippine irresponsibly placed on trees along Kennon Road./RMC PIA-CAR representatives to Asean- Visitors asked to obey India youth summit •page 7 traffic rules in Baguio, Kennon Road •page 3 Master plan for 8-hectare page 3 •page 8PJSCCs determine election • Dairy farm lot sought •page 7 Transfer of Baguio Blooms hotspots KAKAMPI MO ANG BATAS to Ganza parking okayed•page 2 Is there a campaign to page 4 destroy PAO Chief Acosta? • Cordillera teenage pregnancy By: Atty.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper.

  • The Japanese Community in Baguio and La Trinidad During the American Colonial Period
    ARTICLE THE JAPANESE COMMUNITY IN BAGUIO AND LA TRINIDAD DURING THE AMERICAN COLONIAL PERIOD ROBERTO PENAS ABSTRACT This study of the Japanese immigrant community in the city ofBaguio and nearby La Trinidad, Benguet Province, uses an intergenerational approach, spanning the American colonial perioduntil before the outbreak of the Pacific War. It examines local history not only as a demographic phenomenon within migration history but also within the larger context of national and global socioeconomic and political processes. KEYWORDS: Filipino-Japanese, immigration, history, demography, Baguio Peiias. R. (2010). The Japanese community in Baguio and La Trinidad during the American colonial period. Philippine Population Review, 9( I). 125-141. 126 PHILIPPINE POPULATION REVIEW VOLUME 9 NUMBER I DECEMBER 2010 INTRODUCTION The opening of Japan in the 19th century created economic and social dislocation for many in the rural areas. Thousands migrated out of the island nation - assisted and encouraged by a government eager to control overpopulation. The migrations were neither an isolated nor an even phenomenon: following the pattern of similar migrations taking place in the first part of the twentieth century, large numbers of Japanese were also migrating to destinations in Southeast Asia,North America and South America. Encouraged by new ties between the Japanese and new American administrations, Japanese migrants began pouring into the Philippines at the beginning of the zo" century. Much work has been done in Philippine demography since the 1970's but a collection of essays, Population and History, is the first compilation of demographic history, not merely as a subfield or part oflocal history (Doeppers and Xenos, 1998).
