We owe our founders an inestimable debt of gratitude for originating this seminal vision—long before corporate social responsibility became part of our business vocabulary. Now, businesses look beyond their balance sheets, and accept that its responsibilities to society transcends its traditional role of providing goods and services for a profit. DURABILITY OF VISION My anniversary remarks cannot escape referencing COVID-19. It does not happen often that these landmark anniversaries occur, and institutions are besieged with serious existential P issues. PBSP’s 50th has come at such a time. If anything, this crisis has given us a chance to answer the question of what PBSP’s purpose may be in such times – not with words, but with deeds. EVOLUTION AND CHANGES But PBSP’s tasks have evolved to adapt to the times. PBSP is no longer alone. The passage of time has seen the birth of many other foundations of companies established for their own purpose. That evolution has re-defined who we are: B First, PBSP is not a charitable institution—our tasks may begin by delivering relief goods in disasters, by helping provide power and water in remote communities, by building classrooms for our needy students. But they go beyond immediate help. We must rebuild and improve over the long-time. More importantly, we must encourage, and inspire our people and communities to become self-starters, self-sufficient and self-determining— the proverbial teaching how to fish. We precisely need to instill the notions of progress and improvement in our people. One of our founders, Ambassador Bienvenido Tan, Jr., has S emphasized that it is only when communities have become self-sufficient, can we say that PBSP has attained a measure of success. Second, as an institution built by business, PBSP has deployed the disciplines of business. We believe that our most lasting contribution is not only through our financial help, but with the application of business’s competencies to the work at hand. Andres Soriano III, our past Chairman, highlighted that the business’ ability to pool resources, plan and carry out practical ANNUAL REPORT P 13 2020 SHAPING THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE objectives, prepare for the future, and foster the spirit of enterprise should be an integral part of our social development goals, and programs.

  • Jose Maria Sison and the Philippine Revolution: a Critique of an Interface1
    Jose Maria Sison and the Philippine Revolution: A Critique of an Interface1 P. N. ABINALES On December 26, 1968, Jose Ma. Sison a.k.a Amado Guerrero met with ten of his trusted disciples to establish the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) along the lines of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse-Tung Thought. Since then, Philippine radicalism long thought to be politically dead after the debacle of the Huk Rebellion has experienced a resurgence that was unprecedented in the national context. Much of the CPPs political growth, especially in the crucial initial stages, was largely attributed by many to Sisons leadership. He is said to have guided the revolutionary movement through its baptism of fire under the harsh conditions brought about by martial law. His arrest and nine-year solitary confinement did not break him. Rather, the movement continued to grow despite most of its original leaders death or capture (including Sisons) to become one of the most enduring revolutionary opposition in the country and the region.2 It is this feat that has placed Sison among the ranks of important figures in Philippine politics. Apart from being the founder of the CPP, Sison is regarded by admirers also as teacher and student activist He is the author of Philippine Society and Revolution (PSR), the acclaimed bible of the revolution. During the height of the First Quarter Storm, students were openly declaring their fealty to Amado Guerrero and his revolution. At the University of the Philippines (UP), student activists even renamed one building after the CPP chairman. Revolutionary songs, both serious and jesting, hailed Guerrero as one of the inspirations of the new revolutionary upsurge.3 During the early martial law period, Sison was one of the most wanted political figures by the dictatorship (the others being Kumander Dante and Victor Corpuz), the latter believing that his capture or death would destroy the CPP-ML.4 And in the time of Aquino, he continued to be grudgingly respected both in the positive and negative sense.

  • Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre
    Masters i Constructing the Sensorium: Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre A dissertation submitted by Paul Masters in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama Tufts University May 2016 Adviser: Natalya Baldyga Masters ii Abstract: Associated with a broad range of theatrical events and experiences, the term immersive has become synonymous with an experiential, spectacle-laden brand of contemporary theatre. From large-scale productions such as Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More (2008, 2011) to small-scale and customizable experiences (Third Rail Projects, Shunt, and dreamthinkspeak), marketing campaigns and critical reviews cite immersion as both a descriptive and prescriptive term. Examining technologies and conventions drawn from a range of so-called immersive events, this project asks how these productions refract and replicate the technological and ideological constructs of the digital age. Traversing disciplines such as posthumanism, contemporary art, and gaming studies, immersion represents an extension of a cultural landscape obsessed with simulated realities and self-surveillance. As an aesthetic, immersive events rely on sensual experiences, narrative agency, and media installations to convey the presence and atmosphere of otherworldly spaces. By turns haunting, visceral, and seductive spheres of interaction, these theatres also engage in a neoliberal project: one that pretends to greater freedoms than traditional theater while delimiting freedom and concealing the boundaries

    Volume XXVII, No. 5 May 2009 www.filipinostar.org Filipino community wants live-in caregivers program improved The serious allegations of abuses by a Liberal MP, Ruby Dhalla, touched a sensitive chord among Filipino-Canadians everywhere. This case has reinforced what has long been a common knowledge that live-in caregivers are exploited, underpaid, and abused. Although there are some good employers, they are not the majority. The problem has always been a concern but it seems that government policies do not change without active lobbying by the community. Almost at the same time that this high profile case hit the newspaper headlines, there was already a proposed consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship & Multiculturalism, Honorable Jason Kenney, scheduled by the end of May which was the result of prior meetings held with him in the past when he was holding the position of Secretary of A group was formed to work on immigration issues, focusing on the live-in caregivers program. to prepare for a consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship and Multiculturalism, Hon.
