  • 20 Century Ends
    New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.

  • U.S. Embassy, Manila, Philippines Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Embassy Closure on January 9, 2017
    U.S. Embassy, Manila, Philippines Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Embassy Closure on January 9, 2017 January 6, 2017 THE EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES IS TRANSMITTING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AS A PUBLIC SERVICE TO U.S. CITIZENS IN THE PHILIPPINES. PLEASE DISSEMINATE THIS MESSAGE TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS IN YOUR ORGANIZATION OR NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. The U.S. Embassy in Manila will close on Monday, January 9, 2017. The Manila City government has declared January 9 a local holiday with all city offices and schools closed. This is due to the Procession of the Black Nazarene, one of the largest religious gatherings in the Philippines. On January 9, at 0700 hours, the procession will begin at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, and proceed to the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene (Quiapo Church), approximately 4.5 miles total distance. The procession is expected to last approximately 20 hours due to the immense crowds along the route. Crowds will start gathering in the Rizal Park area on Sunday, January 8. The Philippines National Police have advised that road closures and massive pedestrian and vehicle traffic along Roxas Boulevard and adjacent major thoroughfares will make travel in the downtown Manila area difficult or impossible, as people assemble to participate in the event and during the event itself. The police have also warned that all cell phone coverage will be jammed in the vicinity of areas along the route of the procession, with expected cell phone disruptions throughout Metro Manila. The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens of the importance of taking preventive measures to ensure their safety and security while traveling and residing in the Philippines and recommends exercising caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.

DNA barcoding results suggest that the previously identified Mytilus are in fact Mytella charruana with an average identity match of 94%.

  • Annual Accomplishment Report of the Public Attorney’S Office for Year 2010
    Republika ng Pilipinas Kagawaran ng Katarungan Tanggapan ng Manananggol Pambayan (PUBLIC ATTORNEY’S OFFICE) DOJ Agencies Building, NIA Rd. cor East Ave. 1104 Diliman, Quezon City Telephone Nos. 929-90-10/929-94-36; FAX Nos. 927-68-10/ 926-28-78 ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT OF THE PUBLIC ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR YEAR 2010 PREFATORY STATEMENT Treading on the “straight path of genuine public service” is the norm by which the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) endeavors to practice always. This agency’s standard is fortified even more with the thrust of H. E. President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III for the workforce of Philippine government bureaucracy to zealously work and walk in this path. In the performance of its tasks, this principal law office of the Government in extending free legal assistance to indigent persons in criminal, civil, labor, administrative and other quasi-judicial cases, does its share in paving the road toward the attainment of the Aquino administration’s quest for a nation that is free from the shackles of poverty and claws of corruption, whose realization requires sacrifice, honest and effective governance from the people in the bureaucracy. His Excellency President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III’s statements both inspire and challenge the whole workforce of the PAO to exceed their best performance yet as public servants. During his inauguration, His Excellency said, “Our foremost duty is to lift the nation from poverty through honest and effective governance”, and in his State of the Nation Address (SONA), he intimated, “We must understand that now is a time for sacrifice.

  • The Piano Compositional Style of Lucrecia Roces Kasilag D.M.A. Document
    THE PIANO COMPOSITIONAL STYLE OF LUCRECIA ROCES KASILAG D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caroline Besana Salido, B.M., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2002 Document Committee: Approved by Professor Steven Glaser, Adviser Professor Arved Ashby Professor Kenneth Williams _______________ Document Adviser School of Music Copyright by Caroline Besana Salido 2002 ABSTRACT Often alluded to as the “First Lady of Philippine Music,” Lucrecia “King” Roces Kasilag, born in San Fernando, La Union, Philippines, on August 31, 1918, holds numerous national and international leadership roles as composer, educator, administrator, and researcher. Kasilag has composed more than 250 works covering most genres including orchestra, chamber, organ, piano, vocal, sacred, operetta, dance, theatre, electronic and incidental music. She is a nationally acclaimed composer and artist in the Philippines. However, most of her works are largely unpublished and difficult to retrieve for use in the academic, as well as in the performance community. Therefore, her contributions are not well known in the Western world to the degree they deserve. This document intends to provide a brief historical background of Philippine music, a biography of Kasilag describing her work and accomplishments, a list of her compositions and her contributions as a composer in ii today’s musical world. The writer will present detailed analyses of selected piano works for their sound, texture, harmony, melody, rhythm and form. The writer will also examine Western and Eastern influences within these piano works, reflecting Kasilag’s classic and romantic orientation with some use of twentieth-century techniques.
