    HISTORY OF QUEZON CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY The Quezon City Public Library started as a small unit, a joint venture of the National Library and Quezon City government during the incumbency of the late Mayor Ponciano Bernardo and the first City Superintendent of Libraries, Atty. Felicidad Peralta by virtue of Public Law No. 1935 which provided for the “consolidation of all libraries belonging to any branch of the Philippine Government for the creation of the Philippine Library”, and for the maintenance of the same. Mayor Ponciano Bernardo 1946-1949 June 19, 1949, Republic Act No. 411 otherwise known as the Municipal Libraries Law, authored by then Senator Geronimo T. Pecson, which is an act to “provide for the establishment, operation and Maintenance of Municipal Libraries throughout the Philippines” was approved. Mrs. Felicidad A. Peralta 1948-1978 First City Librarian Side by side with the physical and economic development of Quezon City officials particularly the late Mayor Bernardo envisioned the needs of the people. Realizing that the achievements of the goals of a democratic society depends greatly on enlightened and educated citizenry, the Quezon City Public Library, was formally organized and was inaugurated on August 16, 1948, with Aurora Quezon, as a guest of Honor and who cut the ceremonial ribbon. The Library started with 4, 000 volumes of books donated by the National Library, with only four employees to serve the public. The library was housed next to the Post Office in a one-storey building near of the old City Hall in Edsa. Even at the start, this unit depended on the civic spirited members of the community who donated books, bookshelves and other reading material.

  • Padugo and Roar: Rebuffing and Side Tracking Performances in APEC Philippines 20151
    International Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Studies Volume 6, Issue 9, 2019, PP 1-11 ISSN 2394-6288 (Print) & ISSN 2394-6296 (Online) Padugo and Roar: Rebuffing and Side Tracking Performances in APEC Philippines 20151 Danilo Santos Cortez, Jr.* Assistant Professor, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, University of the City of Manila, General Luna St. corner Muralla St., Intramuros, Manila, and 1002 Metro Manila. Philippines. *Corresponding Author: Danilo Santos Cortez, Jr, Assistant Professor, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, University of the City of Manila, General Luna St. corner Muralla St., Intramuros, Manila, 1002 Metro Manila. Philippines. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper attempts to describe and analyze selected social performances during the Philippines’ hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2015 Summit in Manila, particularly the staging of “Padugo” (bloodletting) ritual by Lumads anti-APEC protesters and the deploying of Katy Perry’s “Roar” by the Civil Disturbance Management (CDM) Unit of the Philippine National Police (PNP). By applying social performance theory, I argued here that rebuffing and sidetracking performances of Padugo and Roar are ultimately socio-political acts, which are both always performative. These social performances represent competing versions of the social order, attempting to find resonance beyond the actual performances, as such could possibly influence public opinion and transform the socio-cultural, economic, and/or political status quo. Keywords: Social Performance, Performance Theory, Protest Ritual, Public Order Policing. INTRODUCTION ethnic dance of the Igorots rendered by the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, not even Ballet The Philippines became the world's biggest Manila's interpretation of 'Anting-Anting' or stage in the hosting of Asia-Pacific Economic amulet.
