  • Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora De La Paz Y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-Century Manila Ma
    Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-century Manila Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre Eres mi Madre, plácida Maria; Tú mi vida serás, mi fortaleza; Tú en este fiero mar serás mi guia. -Jose Rizal A la Virgen María, 1880 The Philippine rites of Mary are many and varied, each with its own unique character and homegrown tradition. These range from solemn novena to ecstatic procession, quaint poem-and-flower offering to lilting song and dance, arduous pilgrimage to carefree fiesta. These may take place on land or river, country shrine or city basilica, small community inroad or wide, expansive boulevard. But all are marked by a massive outpouring of affection and tenderness. The cult of Mary in the Philippines has grown from simple folk expression in early times to an imposing display of organized faith in the colonial era, backed by the Church itself and the cabildo or city government (Summers 1998 204), and in more recent times, propped up by a network of wealthy patrons, schools, commercial establishments, and an assortment of civic, artistic and religious organizations. For a people who call themselves in a Marian hymn, “un pueblo amante de María” (a people who love Mary), and who address Mary as “Mama” in such familial terms, these rites represent distinct personal relationships with the Mother of God, hence the variety of expression. This paper focuses on Our Lady of Antipolo, one of the most popular and historic shrines in the country. Our Lady of Antipolo Antipolo is a small town southeast of Manila, situated on a foothill of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Luzon.

  • Inception Workshop for ASEAN-Norwegian Cooperation Project on Local Capacity Building for Reducing Plastic Pollution in the ASEA
    PEMSEA Workshop Report Inception workshop for ASEAN-Norwegian cooperation project on local capacity building for reducing plastic pollution in the ASEAN region (ASEANO) and associated activities 3-6 March 2020 Executive Summary Representatives from PEMSEA, NIVA, and CSEAS undertook a trip to Cavite, Philippines, facilitated by Cavite PG-ENRO, to study the proposed pilot site for the Philippine sub-component of the ASEANO project, to meet relevant stakeholders, and to launch the sub-component through an inception workshop with relevant stakeholders from the city of Dasmariñas and nearby areas. During two days of site visits, various sites along the river were visited and documented, and local stakeholders including politicians and academe representatives were met. These visits allowed the project team to obtain a better picture of existing waste reduction efforts along the Imus river. For the river, the project team observed an expected increase in pollution levels as the river moved downstream, and observed numerous areas of waste accumulation and points of waste entry into the river. The university stakeholders, Cavite State University and De La Salle University Dasmariñas, expressed great support for the project and are enthusiastic about becoming involved in the research component of the project. Local politicians were also supportive, and referred us to their various material recovery schemes, which across different jurisdictions performed similar material recovery including producing biogas, recycling plastic into new products such as bags and ecobricks, and creating charcoal. The Inception Workshop held on 5th March brought together stakeholders and interested parties with the dual aims of introducing these parties to the project and providing an opportunity for the project team to ask questions of these individuals.
