  • Kathryn Bernardo Winning Over Her Self-Doubt Bernardo’S Story Is Not Just All About Teleserye Roles
    ittle anila L.M.ConfidentialMARCH - APRIL 2013 Stolen Art on the Rise in the Philippines MANILA, Philippines - Art dealers and buyers beware: Criminal syndicates have developed a taste for fine art and, moving like a pack of wolves, they know exactly what to get their filthy paws on and how to pass the blame on to unsuspecting gallery staffers or art collectors. Many artists, art galleries, and collectors who have fallen victim to heists can attest to this, but opt to keep silent. But do their silence merely perpetuate the growing art thievery in the industry?

  • Koreanovelas, Teleseryes, and the “Diasporization” of the Filipino/The Philippines Louie Jon A
    Koreanovelas, Teleseryes, and the “Diasporization” of the Filipino/the Philippines Louie Jon A. Sanchez In a previous paper, the author had begun discoursing on the process of acculturating Korean/Hallyu soap opera aesthetics in television productions such as Only You (Quintos, 2009), Lovers in Paris (Reyes, 2009), and Kahit Isang Saglit (Perez & Sineneng, 2008). This paper attempts to expand the discussions of his “critico-personal” essay by situating the discussions in what he described as the “diasporization” of the Filipino, and the Philippines, as constructed in recent soap operas namely Princess and I (Lumibao, Pasion, 2012) A Beautiful Affair (Flores, Pobocan, 2012), and Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw (Bernal & Villarin, 2013). In following the three teleserye texts, the author observes three hallyu aesthetic influences now operating in the local sphere—first, what he called the “spectacularization” of the first world imaginary in foreign dramatic/fictional spaces as new “spectre of comparisons” alluding to Benedict Anderson; the crafting of the Filipino character as postcolonially/neocolonially dispossessed; and the continued perpetration of the imagination of Filipino location as archipelagically—and consequently, nationally—incoherent. The influences result in the aforementioned “diasporization”, an important trope of simulated and dramaturgically crafted placelessness in the process of imagining Filipino “communities” and their sense of “historical” reality, while covering issues relating to the plight and conditions of the diasporic Filipino. Keywords: Koreanovelas, Korean turn, teleserye, translation, imagined communities, diaspora, hallyu After a decade of its constant presence in the Philippine market, the extent of change brought about by the “Koreanovela” in the landscape of Philippine television is clearly noticeable and merits revaluation.

  • The Duterte Bloodline
    The Duterte Bloodline Saturday, 05 December 2015 21:43 By Antonio V. Figueroa The Dutertes, one of the political clans in Davao Region, historically come from Cebu. Oral tradition points out that there were actually two Duterte clans in that province, one from the south and the other from the north. The Davao lineage, accordingly, traces its roots to northern Cebu, to couple Facundo Duterte and Zoila Gonzales whose marriage bore five children, namely: Ramon, Sr. who was married to Rosario Regis of Carcar; Mariano tied the knot with Salud Calvo; Soledad wedded Epifanio Rodis; Jorge married Estefania Dacayana; and former Davao governor Vicente, fondly called ‘Teti’ but known as ‘Nene’ in Danao City, became the husband of Soledad Roa, mother of Davao City mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte. A half-brother, the illegitimate son of Facundo, was Adolfo Enriquez, who took the surname of his mother as was the practice then. He lived in Cavite. Ramon, born on Dec. 23, 1901 in Danao City, was fondly called ‘Lolo Banawa’; he earned his Bachelor of Laws from the Philippine Law School in 1925. Three decades later, he was elected vice mayor of Cebu City, with Sergio Osmeña Jr., his running mate, as mayor. He took over as city chief executive (Sept. 13, 1957-Dec. 31, 1959) when Osmeña resigned to run for Congress. Aside from becoming a judge of the Court of First Instance, Ramon was also a Law professor at the University of the Visayas and the University of Southern Philippines. A Cebu City street was named after him by virtue of City Ordinance No.
