A Masantol-born Catholic priest, Fr. Carmelo Agustin, won the top prize for his entry Ing Panalangin Cu Ngening Pascu. Tied at second place were the songs King Paskung Daratang by Rudy Lopez of Betis, Guagua and Salamat ‘Ting Pasku by Jose Irwin Nucum of Sto.Tomas town. Third prize went to Maligayang Pasku, Maligayang Pusu by Jun Marcos Nulud, also of Betis, Guagua. The song Malaus Ko Pu… Pasku by Franklee Lorenzo and Fr. Gabriel Mercado II was awarded a special citation as a contemporary ballad. The contest attracted entries from amateur as well as professional songwriters, including a few from Kapampangans residing Mindanao and the United States. The entries were performed last December 16 by the Holy Angel University Chorale, HAU String Ensemble (violins) and HAU College Rondalla, and the rest by either the contestants themselves or their choice of singers. Popular Kapampangan art- ist Mon David sang one of the entries. “We did not shortlist the entries anymore be- cause we wanted to show the public the whole range of musical genres that a Christmas song can fit in,” Center Director Robby Tantingco explained. “Sure enough, we attracted ballads, polkas, church hymns, slow rock, pop love songs, even the traditional Kapampangan basulto.” (continue next page) 4 The Center has re-issued the popu- lar Kapampangan meditation book Ing Research Journal #3 Cacanan Cu Aldo-Aldo (Anthony Paone, S.J.’s My Daily Bread), translated by Holy off the press Angel University founder Juan D.

  • Kapampangan Language Endangerment Through Lexical
    Kapampangan Lexical Borrowing from Tagalog: Endangerment rather than Enrichment Michael Raymon M. Pangilinan [email protected] Abstract It has sometimes been argued that the Kapampangan language will not be endangered by lexical borrowings from other languages and that lexical borrowings help enrich a language rather than endanger it. This paper aims to prove otherwise. Rather than being enriched, the socio-politically dominant Tagalog language has been replacing many indigenous words in the Kapampangan language in everyday communication. A number of everyday words that have been in use 20 years ago ~ bígâ (clouds), sangkan (reason), bungsul (to faint) and talágâ (artesian well) just to name a few ~ have all been replaced by Tagalog loan words and are no longer understood by most young people. This paper would present a list of all the words that have been replaced by Tagalog, and push the issue that lexical borrowing from a dominant language leads to endangerment rather than enrichment. I. Introduction At first glance, the Kapampangan language does not seem to be endangered. It is one of the eight major languages of the Philippines with approximately 2 million speakers (National Census and Statistics Office, 2003). It is spoken by the majority in the province of Pampanga, the southern half of the province of Tarlac, the northeast quarter of the province of Bataan, and the bordering communities of the provinces of Bulacan and Nueva Ecija (Fig. 1). It has an established literature, with its grammar being studied as early as 1580 by the Spanish colonisers (Manlapaz, 1981). It has also recently penetrated the electronic media: the first ever province-wide news in the Kapampangan language was televised in 2007 by the Pampanga branch of the Manila-based ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation.

  • Transportation History of the Philippines
    Transportation history of the Philippines This article describes the various forms of transportation in the Philippines. Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country. Contents • 1 Land transportation o 1.1 Road System 1.1.1 Main highways 1.1.2 Expressways o 1.2 Mass Transit 1.2.1 Bus Companies 1.2.2 Within Metro Manila 1.2.3 Provincial 1.2.4 Jeepney 1.2.5 Railways 1.2.6 Other Forms of Mass Transit • 2 Water transportation o 2.1 Ports and harbors o 2.2 River ferries o 2.3 Shipping companies • 3 Air transportation o 3.1 International gateways o 3.2 Local airlines • 4 History o 4.1 1940s 4.1.1 Vehicles 4.1.2 Railways 4.1.3 Roads • 5 See also • 6 References • 7 External links Land transportation Road System The Philippines has 199,950 kilometers (124,249 miles) of roads, of which 39,590 kilometers (24,601 miles) are paved. As of 2004, the total length of the non-toll road network was reported to be 202,860 km, with the following breakdown according to type: • National roads - 15% • Provincial roads - 13% • City and municipal roads - 12% • Barangay (barrio) roads - 60% Road classification is based primarily on administrative responsibilities (with the exception of barangays), i.e., which level of government built and funded the roads.

  • Development, Implementation and Testing of Language Identification System for Seven Philippine Languages
    Philippine Journal of Science 144 (1): 81-89, June 2015 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: ?? ???? 2014 Development, Implementation and Testing of Language Identification System for Seven Philippine Languages Ann Franchesca B. Laguna1 and Rowena Cristina L. Guevara2 1Computer Technology Department, College of Computer Studies, De La Salle University, Taft Avenue, Manila 2Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City Three Language Identification (LID)approaches, namely, acoustic, phonotactic, and prosodic approaches are explored for Philippine Languages. Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) is used for acoustic and prosodic approaches. The acoustic features used were Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Perceptual Linear Prediction (PLP), Shifted Delta Cepstra (SDC) and Linear Prediction Cepstral Coefficients (LPCC). Pitch, rhythm, and energy are used as prosodic features. A Phone Recognition followed by Language Modelling (PRLM) and Parallel Phone Recognition followed by Language Modelling (PPRLM) are used for the phonotactic approach. After establishing that acoustic approach using a 32nd order PLP GMM-EM achieved the best performanceamong the combinations of approach and feature, three LID systems were built: 7-language LID,pair-wise LID and hierarchical LID; with average accuracy of 48.07%, 72.64% and 53.99%, respectively. Among the pair-wise LID systems the highest accuracy is 92.23% for Tagalog and Hiligaynon and the lowest accuracy is 52.21% for Bicolano and Tausug. In the hierarchical LID system, the accuracy for Tagalog, Cebuano, Bicolano, and Hiligaynon reached 80.56%, 80.26%, 78.26%, and 60.87% respectively. The LID systems that were designed, implemented and tested, are best suited for language verification or for language identification systems with small number of target languages that are closely related such as Philippine languages.

  • Lactic Acid Bacteria in Philippine Traditional Fermented Foods
    Chapter 24 Lactic Acid Bacteria in Philippine Traditional Fermented Foods Charina Gracia B. Banaay, Marilen P. Balolong and Francisco B. Elegado Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/50582 1. Introduction The Philippine archipelago is home to a diverse array of ecosystems, organisms, peoples, and cultures. Filipino cuisine is no exception as distinct regional flavors stem from the unique food preparation techniques and culinary traditions of each region. Although Philippine indigenous foods are reminiscent of various foreign influences, local processes are adapted to indigenous ingredients and in accordance with local tastes. Pervasive throughout the numerous islands of the Philippines is the use of fermentation to enhance the organoleptic qualities as well as extend the shelf-life of food. Traditional or indigenous fermented foods are part and parcel of Filipino culture since these are intimately entwined with the life of local people. The three main island-groups of the Philippines, namely – Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, each have their own fermented food products that cater to the local palate. Fermentation processes employed in the production of these indigenous fermented foods often rely entirely on natural microflora of the raw material and the surrounding environment; and procedures are handed down from one generation to the next as a village-art process. Because traditional food fermentation industries are commonly home-based and highly reliant on indigenous materials without the benefit of using commercial starter cultures, microbial assemblages are unique and highly variable per product and per region. Hence the possibility of discovering novel organisms, products, and interactions are likely.

  • Traditional Dietary Culture of Southeast Asia
    Traditional Dietary Culture of Southeast Asia Foodways can reveal the strongest and deepest traces of human history and culture, and this pioneering volume is a detailed study of the development of the traditional dietary culture of Southeast Asia from Laos and Vietnam to the Philippines and New Guinea from earliest times to the present. Being blessed with abundant natural resources, dietary culture in Southeast Asia flourished during the pre- European period on the basis of close relationships between the cultural spheres of India and China, only to undergo significant change during the rise of Islam and the age of European colonialism. What we think of as the Southeast Asian cuisine today is the result of the complex interplay of many factors over centuries. The work is supported by full geological, archaeological, biological and chemical data, and is based largely upon Southeast Asian sources which have not been available up until now. This is essential reading for anyone interested in culinary history, the anthropology of food, and in the complex history of Southeast Asia. Professor Akira Matsuyama graduated from the University of Tokyo. He later obtained a doctorate in Agriculture from that university, later becoming Director of Radiobiology at the Institute of Physical and Chemical research. After working in Indonesia he returned to Tokyo's University of Agriculture as Visiting Professor. He is currently Honorary Scientist at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Tokyo.

  • The Truth of Diwa
    The Truth of Diwa Diwa is both the building block and the string upon which all of reality is spun. It permeates all things, and exists in varying states of matter. In a manner of speaking, that chair you see in front of you is Diwa, in a given form. Break it down to its most essential components and you shall see Diwa. However Diwa can be used more than that. It exists in four states: • Agos, Diwa echoing Water. This is the normal state of Diwa, the Diwa that makes up all things. • Tagos, Diwa echoing Air. This is the Diwa that binds things together. It can be manipulated at this level, and if one were to have some means of seeing the invisible machinations of the gods, they will see tiny strands that link everything to everything, as well as the Diwata that embody everything. Diwa in this state can be known as “Fate”, and indeed, the Agents of Heaven call this Tadhana. • Bala, Diwa echoing Fire. This is the Diwa that burns within every living being, and every thing is a living being because everything has a diwata. The Human Eight-Point Soul is made up of this Burning Diwa, and so are the powerful essences of the Karanduun. Burning Diwa can be used to affect other states -- most commonly by having a lot of Burning Diwa, you have more say in how reality works. Thus why Burning Diwa in all beings is known as “Bala”, or “Power”. It is their measure of capability, and it is well known that the Karanduun possess “Unlocked” Bala, which allows their Bala to transcend event that of Gods.
