  • My Dear Global Family of Rotary, Everybody Deserves
    RY 2010 - 2011 No. 5 November 2010 THE ROTARY FOUNDATION MONTH My Dear Global Family of Rotary, Everybody deserves congratulations. On our fifth month, we have accomplished so much already and if everything will proceed as planned, we will finish with most of our goals before the end of the year. The month of November is designated as The Rotary Foundation Month. We will celebrate The Rotary Foundation Month with so many activities relating to The Rotary Foundation. I urge all of the clubs in our district to focus on The Rotary Foundation and devote special features in your respective club bulletins about our Foundation. I also urge all of the generous Rotarians to give to the Foundation and make all of the clubs in our district as EREY Clubs. Last year, there were only two clubs who made it in the list of EREY Clubs. This year, our goal is to ask all clubs (100%) to give to the Foundation and 80% of the clubs to become EREY Clubs. Even with TRF, we want our clubs to become bigger, better and bolder. The highlight of the month long celebration is the Annual Giving Dinner (TRF Banquet) to be held on November 27, 2010 at Ruby Ballroom A and B of the Crown Plaza Galleria Hotel. This will be strictly formal. The Host Club is RC Mandaluyong and the Event Chair is PP Louie Diy. All Global Presidents and District Officers and their Spouses are required to attend. We will honour in this annual event all new Paul Harris Fellows (PHF), the new and continuing multiple PHF, the new Major Donors and the continuing Major Donors.

  • The Commission on Elections from Aquino to Arroyo
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is with deep gratitude to IDE that I had a chance to visit and experience Japan. I enjoyed the many conversations with researchers in IDE, Japanese academics and scholars of Philippines studies from various universities. The timing of my visit, the year 2009, could not have been more perfect for someone interested in election studies. This paper presents some ideas, arguments, proposed framework, and historical tracing articulated in my Ph.D. dissertation submitted to the Department of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I would like to thank my generous and inspiring professors: Paul Hutchcroft, Alfred McCoy, Edward Friedman, Michael Schatzberg, Dennis Dresang and Michael Cullinane. This research continues to be a work in progress. And while it has benefited from comments and suggestions from various individuals, all errors are mine alone. I would like to thank the Institute of Developing Economies (IDE) for the interest and support in this research project. I am especially grateful to Dr. Takeshi Kawanaka who graciously acted as my counterpart. Dr. Kawanaka kindly introduced me to many Japanese scholars, academics, and researchers engaged in Philippine studies. He likewise generously shared his time to talk politics and raise interesting questions and suggestions for my research. My special thanks to Yurika Suzuki. Able to anticipate what one needs in order to adjust, she kindly extended help and shared many useful information, insights and tips to help me navigate daily life in Japan (including earthquake survival tips). Many thanks to the International Exchange and Training Department of IDE especially to Masak Osuna, Yasuyo Sakaguchi and Miyuki Ishikawa.

  • The American Colonial and Contemporary Traditions
    THE AMERICAN COLONIAL AND CONTEMPORARY TRADITIONS The American tradition in Philippine architecture covers the period from 1898 to the present, and encompasses all architectural styles, such as the European styles, which came into the Philippines during the American colonial period. This tradition is represented by churches, schoolhouses, hospitals, government office buildings, commercial office buildings, department stores, hotels, movie houses, theaters, clubhouses, supermarkets, sports facilities, bridges, malls, and high-rise buildings. New forms of residential architecture emerged in the tsalet, the two-story house, and the Spanish-style house. The contemporary tradition refers to the architecture created by Filipinos from 1946 to the present, which covers public buildings and private commercial buildings, religious structures, and domestic architecture like the bungalow, the one-and-a-half story house, the split-level house, the middle-class housing and the low-cost housing project units, the townhouse and condominium, and least in size but largest in number, the shanty. History The turn of the century brought, in the Philippines, a turn in history. Over three centuries of Spanish rule came to an end, and five decades of American rule began. The independence won by the Philippine Revolution of 1896 was not recognized by Spain, nor by the United States, whose naval and military forces had taken Manila on the pretext of aiding the revolution. In 1898 Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States, and after three years of military rule the Americans established a civil government. With a new regime came a new culture. The English language was introduced and propagated through the newly established public school system.
