Approval of the proposed agenda The General Assembly approved the proposed agenda as presented. IV. Approval of the minutes of the 2015 Annual General Assembly The General Assembly approved the minutes of the 2015 Annual General Assembly without any correction. V. Business arising from the minutes of the previous meeting Dr. Torres noted that business arising from the minutes of the previous meeting will be taken up in the reports of the Chairperson, Treasurer and the Membership Committee Chair. VI. New Business 1. Chairperson’s report Dr. Tarroja thanked colleagues in the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees, whose terms are ending in February 2016, for their service over the past two years. She also asked the body to take a moment of silence to remember former PSSC Chair, Cayetano “Dondon” Paderanga, who passed away in 2015. Dr. Tarroja then proceeded to present the status of PSSC’s regular programs and activities. She reported that the Council granted graduate research funds to seven PhD and two MA students under the Research Award Program; supported the conference participation of 10 social science scholars under the Travel Assistance Program; and provided conference grants to 10 regular members-associations to help defray their annual conference costs. Additionally, the Council organized two separate multidisciplinary panel sessions, namely, “The Human Face of a Soldier” (PPA conference) and “Towards Good Water Governance for Development: A Multi- Case Analysis” (PHA conference). In terms of publications, PSSC released Generations which features the papers from the Seventh National Social Science Congress, as well as the 2014 issue of the PSSC Social Science Information.” Seven PSSC member-associations, meanwhile, released their 2015 journal issues. PSSC continued to make available social science materials and resources through the Knowledge Archive (http://k-archive.pssc.org.ph); Frank X. Lynch Library’s integrated library system (http://lynchlibrary.pssc.org.ph); PSSC Social Studies Corner; and PSSC website and social media accounts. 7 PSSC, upon the recommendation of selected reviewers, selected Dr. Jayeel Cornelio of the Ateneo de Manila University as the third recipient of the Virginia A. Miralao Excellence in Research Award. PSSC maintained its global linkages by participating in three international conferences as follows: 20th Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils Biennial Conference held in Academia Sinica, Taipei in April 2015; 15th Science Council of Asia Conference in Siem Reap, Cambodia in May 2015; and the 3rd World Social Science Forum in Durban, South Africa in September 2015. Dr. Tarroja also reported on the progress of PSSC’s externally funded projects. She noted that PSSC, through the Philippine Migration Research Network, continued to implement the Capacity-building on Crisis Management and Assistance to Migrant Nationals (CMAN) Project. PSSC also continued to assist the Office of the Ombudsman through the project “Nurturing Organizational Research Capacity for Effective Program and Service Delivery.” Meanwhile, PSSC has successfully completed the research project titled “Pathways to Gender Equality in HROD Programs of Philippine Bureaucracy.” Finally, Dr. Tarroja shared PSSC’s plans for 2016. These include the conduct of the Eighth National Social Science Congress on 15-17 June 2016 in Lyceum University of the Philippines in Batangas City, and assistance to the Philippine Studies Association in mounting the 10th International Conference on Philippine Studies (ICOPHIL) on 6-8 July 2016 at Silliman University. (The full text of the Chairperson’s Report was included in the 2016 Annual Report which was distributed to members during the General Assembly.) The General Assembly 2016-02-01 Accepted the Chairperson’s Report. 2. Treasurer’s report Dr. Lourdes M. Portus, PSSC Vice Chair, delivered the Treasurer’s Report on behalf of Dr. Alvin P. Ang, PSSC Treasurer and Head, Finance Committee. Dr. Portus reported that the Council traditionally derives its key operating income from investments and project management. In 2015, investment income was just one percent short of target at PhP592,850.44. Management income, meanwhile, reached only PhP356,559.54, less than half the expected income for the year. Thus, even with adjustments in membership rates and 100 percent membership fee collection as well as earnings from Book Center sales and membership services, the total Council operating income totaled only PhP1.84 million. The surplus from building income amounting to PhP2.206 million, along with past savings of PhP1.6 million, augmented the operating income and covered the Council’s total expenditure of PhP5.7 million. Thus, PSSC was able to continue its programs and activities, most notably, the Conference Award Program, Research Award Program and the Travel Assistance Program In terms of the 2016 budget, Dr. Portus reported that the Board of Trustees (BOT) expects to generate an income of PhP2.1 million from regular Council operations. Meanwhile, the BOT raised the projected income from PSSCenter/building rentals to PhP11.8 million from PhP10.9 million in 2015 in view of the full occupancy of office spaces and expected high volume of function room clientele in 2016. Expenditure-wise, the BOT cut down on

  • The 16Th Congress
    CongressWatch Report No. 176 Report No. 176 17 June 2013 The 16th Congress In the Senate The 16th Congress will open on 22 July, the same day that President Benigno Aquino III delivers his fourth State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA). The Senate will likely have a complete roster for the first time since the 12th Congress. It may be recalled that during the 2001 elections, 13 senators were elected, with the last placer serving the unfinished term of Sen. Teofisto Guingona who was then appointed as vice president. The chamber had a full roll of 24 senators for only a year, due to the appointment of Sen. Blas Ople as Foreign Affairs Secretary on 23 July 2002, and due to the passing of Sen. Renato Cayetano on 25 June 2003. The 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Congresses did not have full membership, primarily because a senator did not complete the six-year term due to being elected to another post.1 In the 2013 midterm elections last May, all of the six senators seeking re-election made it to the top 12, while two were members of the House of Representatives in the 15th Congress. The twelve senators-elect are: SENATOR PARTY PREVIOUS POSITION 1. ANGARA, Juan Edgardo M. LDP Representative (Aurora, lone) 2. AQUINO, Paolo Benigno IV A.

(Photo from Pete Dacuycuy) DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Danilo Lim led the unveiling of the facility, which is capable of treating 500,000 liters of wastewater per day. Also with them were Manila Yacht Club President Commodore Robert “Bobby” Joseph, former Rotary Club of Manila President Jackie Rodriguez, and media practitioner Pete Dacuycuy. The project will ensure that no untreated wastewater from the three major drainage outfalls flows into the Manila Bay, Cimatu said. These outfalls are the Padre Faura outfall, Rajah Soliman/Remedios drainage outfall across Aristocrat Restaurant, and Manila Yacht Club outfall. The establishment of STPs and wastewater interceptors aims to address the problem with the low percentage of sewerage system coverage in Metro Manila. Domestic wastewater discharge is used water from households consisting of both toilet waste and gray water. Treatment of wastewater will be done through the installation of wastewater interceptors on different drainage outfalls that lead to Manila Bay to receive and control the untreated wastewater from households within the community.

    DATE 2021 April 19 • ISSUE No. 357 www.lasalle-lead.org #buhayBRO: A Life Worth Giving The Philippines is celebrating 500 years since Christianity was introduced. Since then, many people have given their lives for the propagation of the faith in our land. It is, but timely, to also give credit for the spread of the faith through the educational ministry of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Many Brothers have given their lives for this educational ministry, going to assignments, to new places, and letting the presence of God be felt through their actions. One such Brother is Br. Edgar S. Esparagoza FSC, who professed his perpetual vows as a De La Salle Brother on 04 April 2021 at 4:00 PM. Br. Edgar consistently described the life of the Brothers or #buhayBRO as a life worth living, but more than living it out, he has given it all to the ministries entrusted to him in his role as a teacher in De La Salle Lipa, the vocations promoter of the Brothers in the Philippines, and more recently, the formator at the House of Studies in De La Salle University.

  • A Study on Travel Time and Delay Survey and Traffic Data Analysis and Visualization Methodology
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 A Study on Travel Time and Delay Survey and Traffic Data Analysis and Visualization Methodology Reigna Jewel Ritz M. MACABABBAD Jose Regin F. REGIDOR Graduate Student Associate Professor Institute of Civil Engineering, Institute of Civil Engineering University of the Philippines College of Engineering Diliman, Quezon City University of the Philippines 1101 Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail: [email protected] 1101 Philippines E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Travel time and delay studies are used to evaluate traffic conditions, determine levels of service and to plan for improvements. Transportation planners and engineers of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) still employ the manual or stop watch method using a test car in obtaining travel time and delay data. Thus, it is necessary to develop and demonstrate an efficient method using tools for assessment of road traffic conditions. This paper presents a Geographical Positioning System or GPS based travel time and delay survey and data analysis methodology. It presents the development and application of a methodological framework and also data analysis and presentation through the use of digital maps. The use of GPS in this research provides fundamental inputs towards the development of a probe car system for use in travel time and delay studies in the Philippine cities. Key Words: GPS, travel time, delay, methodology 1. INTRODUCTION Travel time, a fundamental measure in transportation, is the total elapsed time necessary for a vehicle to travel from one point to another over a specified route under existing traffic conditions.

    Social Ethics Society Journal of Applied Philosophy Special Issue, December 2018, pp. 181-206 The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) and ABS-CBN through the Prisms of Herman and Chomsky’s “Propaganda Model”: Duterte’s Tirade against the Media and vice versa Menelito P. Mansueto Colegio de San Juan de Letran [email protected] Jeresa May C. Ochave Ateneo de Davao University [email protected] Abstract This paper is an attempt to localize Herman and Chomsky’s analysis of the commercial media and use this concept to fit in the Philippine media climate. Through the propaganda model, they introduced the five interrelated media filters which made possible the “manufacture of consent.” By consent, Herman and Chomsky meant that the mass communication media can be a powerful tool to manufacture ideology and to influence a wider public to believe in a capitalistic propaganda. Thus, they call their theory the “propaganda model” referring to the capitalist media structure and its underlying political function. Herman and Chomsky’s analysis has been centered upon the US media, however, they also believed that the model is also true in other parts of the world as the media conglomeration is also found all around the globe. In the Philippines, media conglomeration is not an alien concept especially in the presence of a giant media outlet, such as, ABS-CBN. In this essay, the authors claim that the propaganda model is also observed even in the less obvious corporate media in the country, disguised as an independent media entity but like a chameleon, it © 2018 Menelito P.
