    CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES CHICAGO PRESS RELEASE NO. 12-2020 ACTOR IN “QUEZON’S GAME” CALLED ON THE PHILIPPINE CONSULATE; MOVIE RUN EXTENDED UNTIL FEBRUARY 26 IN ILLINOIS The actor who played US Army Major Dwight Eisenhower in the movie, “Quezon’s Game”, Mr. David Bianco, paid a courtesy call on the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago on February 19. The Illinois-based actor was received by Consul General Gina Jamoralin, Consul Ryan Gener and Cultural Officer Noly Dulay. Mr. Bianco shared with Consul General Jamoralin how the critically-acclaimed movie was conceived, written and directed with the view to share to the Filipino people and to the world the generosity and humanity of former President Manuel L. Quezon towards the Jewish people at the most difficult period in Jewish history. Apart from Col. 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.

  • A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Historical Evaluation of The Emergence of Nueva Ecija as the Rice Granary of the Philippines Fernando A. Santiago, Jr., Ph.D. Department of History De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: The recognition of Nueva Ecija’s potential as a seedbed for rice in the latter half of the nineteenth century led to the massive conversion of public land and the establishment of agricultural estates in the province. The emergence of these estates signalled the arrival of wide scale commercial agriculture that revolved around wet- rice cultivation. By the 1920s, Nueva Ecija had become the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” which has been the identity of the province ever since. This study is an assessment of the emergence of Nueva Ecija as the leading rice producer of the country. It also tackles various facets of the rice industry, the profitability of the crop and some issues that arose from rice being a controlled commodity. While circumstances might suggest that the rice producers would have enjoyed tremendous prosperity, it was not the case for the rice trade was in the hands of middlemen and regulated by the government. The government policy which favored the urban consumers over rice producers brought meager profits, which led to disappointment to all classes and ultimately caused social tension in the province. The study therefore also explains the conditions that made Nueva Ecija the hotbed of unrest prior to the Second World War. Historical methodology was applied in the conduct of the study.

It has been reported primarily from only four main islands of the Philippine archipelago. We have studied it extensively for the past three decades. Using data from 1991 to 1998 as best representing the current status of the species on the island of Mindanao, we estimated the mean nearest-neighbour distances between breeding pairs, with remarkably little variation, to be 12.74 km (n = 13 nests plus six pairs without located nests, se = ±0.86 km, range = 8.3–17.5 km). Forest cover within circular plots based on nearest-neighbour pairs, in conjunction with estimates of remaining suitable forest habitat (approximately 14 000 km2), yield estimates of the maximum number of breeding pairs on Mindanao ranging from 82 to 233, depending on how the forest cover is factored into the estimates. The Philippine Eagle Pithecophaga jefferyi is a large insufficient or unreliable data, and inadequately forest raptor considered to be one of the three reported methods.
