For decades, I’ve been taught that leadership is about one single person on top, and in order for me to be there, I will have to beat every person in my way, whatever it took. Because that’s what I knew, I competed and fought my way to the top. Sometimes, I would win. Many times, I would lose. Either way, the result didn’t make me happy. After all, knowing that I have beaten someone is as equally as heartbreaking as knowing I’ve been beaten by someone. Nobody wins in a competition. However, the concept of leadership that has been around for a long time encourages i STEPBACK people to compete on different levels, at different times, in different styles. If you want to be a leader, you’ve got to be on top, in front, and in control. Beat everybody else and rise from the ranks. It goes on and on. Not only that, the same competitor’s mindset cascades down to the very last man in the organization. It wears down everyone eventually. No wonder many leaders today say it’s lonely at the top. You have to defend your position constantly from whoever is trying to steal it from you. As it happens, the people under you will never stop challenging you and your rivals will never stop jockeying for power. You’ll keep hanging on until you’re exhausted or it’s simply time to let go and admit defeat. Beating everyone during the quest for leadership won’t make you happy. The same goes for the people you work with. But maybe it’s the system that puts you there. Regardless, you’re trapped. In the end, nobody gets out of it unhurt. Yet, we are made to believe that competition is good for an organization because it brings out the best in all of us. In reality, it does not always work that way. In fact, many times it breaks the ii FOREWORD leader, then the people, and in the long run—the entire organization. While competition drives progress and gives the leader the focus and energy to great heights of accomplishment, it can overwhelm the leader. Admittedly, winning can bring satisfaction to leaders. It also leads to recognition, which leaders need every once in a while. However, winning over our fellow human beings for the sake of recognition, if that’s the only thing that defines our leadership, can also lead to self-destruction. That is, when the winning mindset leads to extreme stress, unfair judgment, or unethical practices and misbehavior. In the long run, we can’t sustain an organization fueled by greed, self-centeredness, and rivalry. Chances are, our type of leadership today creates a culture of self-centeredness, individualism, doubt, and competition —a perfect recipe for an inevitable disaster where everyone becomes a casualty. But in the grand scheme of things, this is not even the original Filipino leadership philosophy. It was imposed on us and we embraced it. And because we have gotten used to it, we’ve forgotten our own art of leadership. iii STEPBACK Prior to the European invasion of the Philippines in the 1500s and Americans in the late 1800s, we already had our own unique leadership structure. In fact, it built one of the world’s most advanced mega-structures in ancient times. Learning about it can shed light on our leadership challenges today. It explains what brought us in this chaotic leadership situation and why you can’t get away from it. Let me tell you a story. Two thousand years ago, our Filipino ancestors built the world-famous rice terraces in the Cordillera Mountains in northern Philippines. They were able to accomplish this feat with nothing but their hands, ingenuity, and their strong sense of community. They used no advanced machinery, no heavy metallic equipment, no modern technology. They carved out the mountains by hand, using only primitive tools made with wood and rocks. All the other wonders of the ancient world like The Great Pyramid of Giza, The Great Wall of China, The iv FOREWORD Colosseum, and the Taj Mahal were either built by salaried skilled workers or slaves through an order of one ruler to serve their personal interest. In contrast, the handmade Ifugao rice terraces were built in their entirety by freemen. This is contrary to the leadership and management concepts that we apply in our organizations today: Our people are not free. They are still hostages of our painful and distant past. Our leaders act like kings who think they are entitled to subservience. Everyone tries to save face every time. We doubt our teammates’ abilities or worse, criticize and censure them to work better. We compete to prove we’re better than every one else in the room. We put our own interest before that of our team. To be part of something bigger than ourselves doesn’t excite us anymore. Long ago, it was different. Unlike their counterparts elsewhere in the world, the Ifugao Rice Terraces were built without a single leader getting credit for the achievement. This is another contrast to the idea that leadership is about one single person on top, in front, and in control. If there’s a chance, they won’t hesitate to manipulate people, and if v STEPBACK something goes right, they’ll take the credit too. But if something goes wrong, it’s the people under them who are at fault. We’ve gone from people-centered to personality- centered leadership. This is completely opposite to how the mountain terraces were created more than two millennia ago, which were built out of the community’s collective desire for a common good. The Ifugaos worked together regardless of which tribe they belonged to. In retrospect, they built those terraces not just to feed their generation, too. They were a visionary people and constructed those terraces for all succeeding generations to come—a huge contrast to many Filipinos’ short-sightedness and smallness of thinking today.

    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.

The only difference among them was the time of its realiza- tion. Various groups not only expressed their stand on the issue, but also worked for its implementation through legitimate political means or through radical, and at times violent, means. The most influential and visible group among them was that of the Filipino political leaders of the time, represented by Manuel L. Quezon, Sergio Osmefla, and Manuel Roxas. Other groups were opposed to their methods. One such group was the Sakdal Movement, which was active in Central and Southern Luzon. The Sakdal Movement started in 1930 and lasted for at least fifteen years.

  • Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People

    Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People

    421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take.

TrllIanes IV A RESOLUTION URGING THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, THROUGH THE NATIONAL HISTORICAL COMMISSION OF THE PHILIPPINES, TO INCLUDE THE BASIliCA DEL SANTO NnVO OF CEBU IN THE TENTATIVE LIST OF THE PHILIPPINES FOR THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST AND TO IMMEDIATELY NOMINATE THE SAME FOR RECOGNITION AS A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. WHEREAS, the Basilica Del Santo Nino of Cebu is the oldest Catholic Church established in the Philippines and perhaps the whole of Asia and was the first symbol of Philippine Christianity, having been founded by an Augustinian priest, Rev. Andres de 1 Urdaneta, on April 28, 1565 ; WHEREAS, the Basilica Del Santo Nino of CebU was purportedly built on the spot where the image of the Santo Nino de CebU, a statue depicting the Holy Child Jesus was found in 1565 by Spanish explorers led by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. The image is the same statue given by Ferdinand Magellan to the wife of Rajah Humabon as a gift over forty years after Humabon's baptism to Christianity on April 14, 1521. The image was found by a Spanish mariner/soldier, Juan de Camus, preserved in a burnt wooden box after Legazpi razed the village of hostile natives; WHEREAS, the Basilica Del Santo Nino of CebU permanently houses the Santo Nino of CebU, said to be the oldest religious relic in the Philippines. The image is one of the most beloved and recognizable cultural icons in the Philippines, found in both religious and secular areas.

Gran-O’Donnell University of Washington Abstract Being, Belonging, and Connecting: Filipino Youths’ Narratives of Place(s) and Wellbeing in Hawai′i Stella M. Gran-O’Donnell Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Karina L. Walters School of Social Work Background: Environmental climate change is an urgent concern for Pacific Islanders with significant impact on place along with bio-psycho-social-cultural-spiritual influences likely to affect communities’ wellbeing. Future generations will bear the burden. Indigenous scholars have begun to address climate-based place changes; however, immigrant Pacific Islander populations have been ignored. Although Filipinos are one of the fastest growing U.S. populations, the second largest immigrant group, and second largest ethnic group in Hawai’i, lack of understanding regarding their physical health and mental wellbeing remains, especially among youth. This dissertation addresses these gaps. In response to Kemp’s (2011) and Jack’s (2010, 2015) impassioned calls for the social work profession to advance place research among vulnerable populations, this qualitative study examined Filipino youths’ (15-23) experiences of place(s) and geographic environment(s) in Hawai′i. Drawing on Indigenous worldviews, this study examined how youth narrate their sense of place, place attachments, ethnic/cultural identity/ies, belonging, connectedness to ancestral (Philippines) and contemporary homelands (Hawai’i), virtual environment(s), and how these places connect to wellbeing.
