Cultural Identification as a Protective Development Factor for Filipino Youth in Hawaii and Exploring the Challenges and Motivations of Filipino Students in Pursuing Health Careers - Two Potential Collaborative Projects, by Dr. Anthony Guerrero and Dr. Gretchen Gavero, Department of Psychiatry, John A. Burns School of Medicine, UHM, February 20, 2014, 12:00-1:30 pm, Moore Hall 319.

Joyce Mariano, PhD, Assistant Professor, American Studies Department, Wednesday, September 18, 2013, 2:30-4:00 pm., Moore 319 (Tokioka Room). This presentation gives preliminary commentary on upcoming future research, highlighting turns in orientations toward the Philippine homeland from the 1970s until today and considering larger reverberations in the production 2 of Filipino American diasporic subjectivities. Mariano argues that transnational calls for communal efforts toward the betterment of the Philippines has shifted from anti-Marcos politics and organizing to philanthropic and social development efforts. It contextualizes some of Mariano's research questions on the implications of this homeland re- orientation. Filipinos and Education in Hawaii: Challenges and Opportunities, by Jon Okamura, PhD, Ethnic Studies Department, and Patricia Halagao, PhD, College of Education, October 16, 2013, Wednesday, 2:00-4:00 pm, Moore 319 (Tokioka Room). Dr. Okamura will talk on "Filipino American Access to Public Higher Education in California and Hawaii." In 1998, Filipino American students joined African American and Latino students in a class - action lawsuit that charged the admissions policies of the University of California, Berkeley violated federal antidiscrimination laws. Two years earlier, California voters passed Proposition 209 that prohibits race - based affirmative action in college admissions. In 1996, the University of Hawai'i Board of Regents approved a 50 percent tuition hike and another 23 percent increase for the following year. Okamura's presentation compares the impact of those policies on the admissions and enrollment of Filipino American undergraduates in the UC system and the UH Manoa since 1996. On the other hand, Dr. Halagao will speak on the "Status of K-12 Filipino Education." Her research focuses on Filipinos and education in Hawaii. She has developed numerous Filipino curriculum and professional development programs such as Pinoy Teach, iJeepney.com sponsored by the Smithsonian, the Filipino American Education Institute, and the F.O.B. Project. She is recipient of the Board of Regents Teaching Excellence Award (2012) and recently appointed to serve on the Hawaii Board of Education. Marilous Diaz-Abaya: Filmaker on a Voyage (Film Showing and Lecture), by Mona Lisa Yuchengco. Spalding Auditorium 155, October 29, 2013, 6:00 pm. Mona Lisa Yuchengco, the founder and former publisher of the nationally circulated Filipinas Magazine and PositivelyFilipino.com, received numerous awards for her writing, and for her community involvement. This film is Yuchengco’s second documentary and a tribute to a dear friend and mentor. Migration, Elections, and Muslims: A Symposium on Mindanao, by Faina A. Ulindang, PhD, Samuel E. Anonas, PhD, and Jamail Kamlian, PhD., November 23, 2013, Saturday, 2:00-4:00 pm, at the Philippine Consulate General Lanai, 2433 Pali Highway. Light merienda will be served. Contact Clem or Fred at (808) 956-6086, email [email protected], or Tessie at (808) 595-6316, Ext 101. The trio are all professors from Mindanao State University. Dr. Ulindang will speak on "Migrants of Mindanao: Perils, Debacle and Recovery," where she explores into the lives of second generation Mindanaoan settlers, particularly those whose parents were supported by government resettlement projects during the Commonwealth and Magsaysay administrations in the Cotabato provinces and Kapatagan, Lanao del Sur. Sporadic interviews also from the migrants themselves as well as written both primary and secondary sources are the main bases for this study. Dr. Anonas talks about "Electoral Issues from the Perspective of Public Schools Teachers during the 2004 and 2007 Elections in Lanao." He says that "Prior to the automation of Philippine elections in 2010, most, if not all, of the elections held were allegedly rigged to favor a candidate or a group of candidates. Allegations of electoral violations moved to high gear in the 2004 presidential election especially in Muslim Mindanao with the 'Hello Garci' scandal which almost cost Gloria Macapagal Arroyo her presidency. The same allegations of electoral rigging occurred in the 2007 mid-term elections for senators, congressmen and local elective officials, particularly in Lanao del Sur which is dubbed as the 'cheating capital' in the Philippines." 3 Dr. Kamlian cites some experiences in his "Religious Discrimination in the Southern Philippines: Implications to the Peace Process" and digs into the nature, characteristic and probable causes of religious discrimination, particularly against Muslims. Author argues that this social malady is particularly driven by differences in customs, belief and history between Muslims and Christians. This presentation will also attempt to suggest some policy recommendations in order to minimize, if not eradicate, the said social problem. Spring 2013 The Logic of Mother Language, the Ir/Rationalities of National Language, and Cultural Democracy in Action, by Aurelio Solver Agcaoili, PhD, UH Department of Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures, January 23, 2013, 12:00-1:30 pm, Moore Hall 319 (Tokioka Room). The talk argues that with the reintroduction of mother tongue-based mother language education in the Philippines in 2009, and with the upsurge of pilot schools all over the Philippines offering the MTB-MLE curriculum, there is no other more poignant evidence that proves the irrationality of holding on to a hegemonic national language in a multilingual and multicultural country like the Philippines than this new educational initiative of that country. It argues as well that the national language as being foisted by 'nationalists' is a conspiracy of people who misinterpret the meaning of multiplicity, diversity, linguistic pluralism, emancipatory education, and cultural democracy in action. Environmental Law in the Philippines, by Antonio A. Oposa, Jr., January 29, 2013, 11:45-1:00 pm, Moot Court Room, William S. Richardson School of Law. The colloquium features Antonio A. Oposa, Jr., one of Asia's leading voices in the global arena of environmental law. In Minors Oposa v. Factoran (1993), the Philippine Supreme Court gave standing to the petitioners-children to take legal action on their behalf and on behalf of generations yet unborn, enforcing the principle of inter- generational responsibility. Language Choice and Accommodation Strategies of Filipino Women Married to Malays, Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indians, by Francisco Perlas Dumanig, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Languages and Linguistics University of Malaya, Malaysia, February 12, 2013, 12:00-1:30 pm, Moore Hall 155A. Language choice has become a common phenomenon in mixed marriages

    The Politics of Naming a Movement: Independent Cinema According to the Cinemalaya Congress (2005-2010) PATRICK F. CAMPOS Philippine Humanities Review, Vol. 13, No. 2, December 2011, pp. 76- 110 ISSN 0031-7802 © 2011 University of the Philippines 76 THE POLITICS OF NAMING A MOVEMENT: INDEPENDENT CINEMA ACCORDING TO THE CINEMALAYA CONGRESS (2005-2010) PATRICK F. CAMPOS Much has been said and written about contemporary “indie” cinema in the Philippines. But what/who is “indie”? The catchphrase has been so frequently used to mean many and sometimes disparate ideas that it has become a confusing and, arguably, useless term. The paper attempts to problematize how the term “indie” has been used and defined by critics and commentators in the context of the Cinemalaya Film Congress, which is one of the important venues for articulating and evaluating the notion of “independence” in Philippine cinema. The congress is one of the components of the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival, whose founding coincides with and is partly responsible for the increase in production of full-length digital films since 2005. This paper examines the politics of naming the contemporary indie movement which I will discuss based on the transcripts of the congress proceedings and my firsthand experience as a rapporteur (2007- 2009) and panelist (2010) in the congress. Panel reports and final recommendations from 2005 to 2010 will be assessed vis-a-vis the indie films selected for the Cinemalaya competition and exhibition during the same period and the different critical frameworks which panelists have espoused and written about outside the congress proper. Ultimately, by following a number PHILIPPINE HUMANITIES REVIEW 77 of key and recurring ideas, the paper looks at the key conceptions of independent cinema proffered by panelists and participants.

  • 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.
