THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return. -

Pollution in Baguio City, Philippines Madison P
ISSN: 2349 – 1183 1(1): 04–07, 2014 Research article Ectohydric moss, Thuidium tamariscellum, monitors atmospheric Lead (Pb) pollution in Baguio City, Philippines Madison P. Munar*, Ralph Robie B. Oreiro and Roland M. Hipol Department of Biology, College of Science, University of the Philippines Baguio, Governor Pack Road,2600 Baguio City, Benguet, Philippines *Corresponding Author: [email protected] [Accepted: 25 March 2014] Abstract: This is the first study in the Philippines which adopted the standard moss monitoring procedure to address Lead (Pb) contamination in the ambient air of Baguio City. Pb is considered as one of the seven criteria pollutants by United States Environmental Protection Agency. Analysis of exposed moss tissues was performed using Flame-Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry by Baguio Water District. There is high metal loading observed on the tissues of Thuidium tamariscellum (Müll. Hal.) Bosch & Sande Lac. after exposure along and in between major road intersections in the city.There is no significant variation in Pb concentration in the exposed moss as revealed by One-Way Analysis of Variance. This study reports the presence of Pb in the ambient air of Baguio City and the lack of monitoring is harmful to people and environment. Nevertheless, this study offers cost-effective air monitoring method that can be adopted in cities as newer available technology. Keywords: Air pollutants - Flame-Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) - Heavy metal - Ectohydric moss - Lead (Pb) - Thuidium tamariscellum (Müll. Hal.) Bosch & Sande Lac.

SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper. -
