To Change A Culture: Reflections On One Attempt To Help Theology Students Reconsider Assumptions, Christine E. Burke Ibvm Jan 2021

To Change A Culture: Reflections On One Attempt To Help Theology Students Reconsider Assumptions, Christine E. Burke Ibvm

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

In a time described by Pope Francis as “not an era of change but a change of era,” assisting students to examine assumptions which are embedded in their culture is critical. Manila has many institutions dedicated to theological and pastoral formation. In a post Vatican II church, where baptism is recognized as empowering all to use their gifts as 'priests, prophets and kings'(spiritual leadership, commitment to justice, and governance), how can we help students to participate in a church challenged by the equality of women and men? Feminist theology offers rich resources to enable students to recognize and support the …


Feedback-Guided Analysis As An Approach To Managing Sustainability In Asean Countries, Maria Assunta C. Cuyegkeng, Charlotte Kendra Gotangco Gonzales Dec 2020

Feedback-Guided Analysis As An Approach To Managing Sustainability In Asean Countries, Maria Assunta C. Cuyegkeng, Charlotte Kendra Gotangco Gonzales

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

Innovation has been at the center of most science policies of the ASEAN countries, driven as they are by a greater concern for the competitive advantages that can come from science and technology. Related to these policies, although often treated separately, are policies on the environment and environmental education. What is missing, however, is a more comprehensive view of how both science and environmental policies influence and are influenced by the culture and well-being of the people in a particular country. This study attempts to fill in the blanks through feedback-guided analysis, particularly by using a cultural adaptation template introduced …


Explorations In The Crafting Of Government’S Authority And Power Using Institutional Ethnography: The Case Of The 2013 Zamboanga Crisis, Leslie Advincula-Lopez, Nota F. Magno Dec 2020

Explorations In The Crafting Of Government’S Authority And Power Using Institutional Ethnography: The Case Of The 2013 Zamboanga Crisis, Leslie Advincula-Lopez, Nota F. Magno

Development Studies Faculty Publications

Crisis response is a clear illustration of what Migdal (2004) posits in his Statein-society approach: the iterative relationship between State authority and social actors' everyday practices. As the rise in recent natural and humanmade disasters call for proficiencies in crisis response, it becomes essential to observe how the variabilities in State-in-society responses unfold through institutionally coordinated everyday social relations. The situation reveals the need to theorize these relationships on the grounds of the dynamic coconstitution of State-in-society. This study employed institutional ethnography (Devault & McCoy, 2002; Smith, 2005); observing the interplay of various actors' interests and strategies within institutional processes …


Walden Bello. Counterrevolution: The Global Rise Of The Far Right. Philippines: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2019, 175 Pp., Carl Russel Reyes Nov 2020

Walden Bello. Counterrevolution: The Global Rise Of The Far Right. Philippines: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2019, 175 Pp., Carl Russel Reyes

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Excerpt: In the early to mid-2010s, populism was more associated with leftwing movements and parties, the most prominent of which were in Southern Europe (Della Porta 2015). Among these polities reeling from austerity measures that include Greece and Spain, it was only in Italy where a right-wing populist party has gained traction. By the end of the last decade, we saw a global rise of right-wing populism, both of those who have claimed power or were on its cusps. Currently, there is no shortage of extant cases where these movements and its personalities have managed to use social cleavages brought …


The Problem-Solving Mode: Social Scientists Back Home And The Limits Of Critique, Czarina Saloma Nov 2020

The Problem-Solving Mode: Social Scientists Back Home And The Limits Of Critique, Czarina Saloma

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Abundant debates on the problematic positioning of intellectuals in the Global South are typically confined to migrant scholars and to the insider/outsider binary vis-à-vis their object/subject of study. Yet intellectuals back home—both those returning and those who never left—must also forge through the fraught politics of location and epistemic privilege as the other side of the same coin. Nowhere is the politics of location perhaps more striking than in the social sciences and among social scientists based in the Global South who have mostly been trained in Western universities or in Westernized local universities. As academics who mobilize knowledge in …


Criminology As Epistemic Necropolitics, Tamari Kitossa Phd Nov 2020

Criminology As Epistemic Necropolitics, Tamari Kitossa Phd

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

I argue in this essay that from 1492 to the present, the Global North has used theories of “crime,” its causation and control, as part of a three-pronged epistemic necropolitical attack on the Global South. I suggest that the emergence of critical criminology and its more recent offshoots, given their dependence on the present or hypothetical war making and coercive state, are themselves a part of the problem. I suggest criminology is a Trojan Horse that brings epistemic toxic waste and destruction in the guise of deterministic theories on crime and its control. Like their Inquisitorial predecessors, I suggest criminology …


Shoemaking In A Central Philippine City: A Disappearing Tradition?, Marjury Estillero Dino Nov 2020

Shoemaking In A Central Philippine City: A Disappearing Tradition?, Marjury Estillero Dino

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Shoemaking in Carcar City, Cebu is an integral part of the locals’ identity as it has been dubbed as the shoemaking capital of Cebu province and the southern Philippines for decades. More than a source of livelihood, it is a tradition that has been passed down for generations. This paper describes the current situation of the shoemaking industry in Carcar. Particularly, it looks into the shoemakers’ narratives and the locals’ stories or opinions about the business and why it is becoming less popular as a means of livelihood. Through these, the paper explores the factors that have led to the …


Interdisciplinarity As A Means Of Doing Theology: Jose Mario Francisco, Jr., Sj, Phd And His Writings, Ruben C. Mendoza Nov 2020

Interdisciplinarity As A Means Of Doing Theology: Jose Mario Francisco, Jr., Sj, Phd And His Writings, Ruben C. Mendoza

Theology Department Faculty Publications

As a Jesuit, Jose Mario Francisco has occupied various positions in the academe as a teacher and an administrator. At the same time, he has engaged in research on various topics such as Asian theology, religious identity, Christology, literary theory, Philippine literature in English, translation, and hermeneutics. A thread that runs through his writings is his interdisciplinary approach to the subject of his inquiry. A particular interest of Francisco in his efforts to understand Filipino Catholicism is his emphasis on mission as translation which for him necessarily involves interpretation.


Reframing Joseph Cardinal Bernardin’S Consistent Ethic Of Life In The Light Of The Crisis Of Our Common Home And Pope Francis’ Integral Ecology, Anatoly Angelo R. Aseneta Nov 2020

Reframing Joseph Cardinal Bernardin’S Consistent Ethic Of Life In The Light Of The Crisis Of Our Common Home And Pope Francis’ Integral Ecology, Anatoly Angelo R. Aseneta

Theology Department Faculty Publications

The article is based from the a defended dissertation of the same title. As raised by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’ and as evidenced by the various ecological problems we face, the crisis of our common home harms both non-human and human life. It is becoming more evident that to consistently defend human life inevitably means caring for our common home. Joseph Cardinal Bernardin’s moral vision of a consistent ethic of life (CEL), reframed in the light of the crisis of our common home and Francis’ call for an integral ecology, provides a moral framework that inseparably links the protection …

Pangantihon, Kyra Mari Dominique Aldaba, Earl Kevin Fatallo, Jemillie Madonna De Leon, Hendrik Freitag

Biology Faculty Publications

This survey aims to provide an updated species checklist of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs in the intra-Philippine biogeographic Region of Mindoro. An assessment survey of water bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) was conducted mostly by manual collection in selected areas of Oriental Mindoro from 2017 to 2018, in which some of the collecting activities were undertaken by graduate students of Ateneo de Manila University. Twenty-nine aquatic and semi-aquatic heteropteran species were documented and some are known island-endemic species or subspecies, including Enithares martini mindoroensis Nieser & Zettel, 1999, Hydrotrephes stereoides mindoroensis Zettel, 2003, Aphelocheirus freitagi Zettel & Pangantihon, 2010, Rhagovelia mindoroensis Zettel, …


Preparedness, Agility, And The Philippine Response To The Covid-19 Pandemic: The Early Phase In Comparative Southeast Asian Perspective, Filomeno V. Aguilar Jr. Oct 2020

Preparedness, Agility, And The Philippine Response To The Covid-19 Pandemic: The Early Phase In Comparative Southeast Asian Perspective, Filomeno V. Aguilar Jr.

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Was the Philippines prepared for the Covid-19 pandemic? Did the government take early and effective action that can be characterized as strategically agile? Thisarticle answers these questions by reconstructing the chronology of the Philippine government’s response to the pandemic during the early phase. It focuses on three issues: virus importation (specifically the first Covid-19 case), testing, and contact tracing. The Philippine response is contrasted with those of Thailand and Vietnam, which, unlike the Philippines, have succeeded in lowering per capita mortality rate. Deficient in strategic agility, the Philippines failed to consider early on a scenario of extreme disease outbreak. KEYWORDS: …


Duterte’S Disciplinary Quarantine: How A Moral Dichotomy Was Constructed And Undermined, Wataru Kusaka Oct 2020

Duterte’S Disciplinary Quarantine: How A Moral Dichotomy Was Constructed And Undermined, Wataru Kusaka

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle explores the characteristics of what I call Duterte’s “disciplinary quarantine,” which is premised on a moral dichotomy between “good citizens,” who abide by strict regulations, and undisciplined “evil others” (pasaway), who endanger the nation. Based on my family’s participant observation in Bohol, thisarticle also describes how Boholanos have undermined the moral dichotomy by embracing minor violations to endure the government’s protracted and rigid quarantine rules. I suggest that ideas about appropriate behaviors created through people’s mutuality and everyday trials and errors are more reliable than top-down “discipline” for a continual struggle against the pandemic.

The Penalty Of Mobility In Manila During Periods Of Public Health Crises, Michael D. Pante Oct 2020

The Penalty Of Mobility In Manila During Periods Of Public Health Crises, Michael D. Pante

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Mobility seems to impose a paradoxical penalty on individuals based in Metro Manila. Looking at the experiences of public health crises during the American colonial period and the present-day Covid-19 pandemic, this essay focuses on the inordinate restrictions on and blame assigned to the least mobile segments of the population despite the fact that such crises are aided by heightened mobility. Past and present disease outbreaks force us to acknowledge that our cities contain groups of people with varying levels of mobility, another form of social inequality that badly needs to be addressed.

Covidscapes: The Pandemic In The Philippines, Filomeno V.; Aguilar Jr. Oct 2020

Covidscapes: The Pandemic In The Philippines, Filomeno V.; Aguilar Jr.

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

This introductory essay develops the notion of Covidscapes, taking a cue from Arjun Appadurai. Despite mutations, a single type of coronavirus has gone around the world causing the Covid-19 disease. Yet experiences with the pandemic have varied widely across and even within countries for reasons that go beyond the pathogen. The concept of Covidscapes captures the simultaneous sharing of a global phenomenon along with diversity and difference. Covidscapes are profoundly perspectival and disjunctive. State–societal factors suggest countries can have their own Covidscapes. The contributions in this issue shed light on the peculiar dynamics and contradictions of the Philippine Covidscape.

Beyond The Pathogen: Cultural Influences On The Impact Of Epidemics Viewed From History, Linda A. Newson Oct 2020

Beyond The Pathogen: Cultural Influences On The Impact Of Epidemics Viewed From History, Linda A. Newson

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The paper reflects on the historical experience of epidemics in Latin America and the Philippines. It shows how cultural factors can affect the ability of societies to develop immunity and recover. It also shows how leadership can influence the way in which an epidemic and the health crisis is managed. As such, it argues that the impact of a single epidemic is unlikely to be the same throughout the world or even within one country.

Parish Records And The History Of Philippine Epidemics, Peter Xenos Oct 2020

Parish Records And The History Of Philippine Epidemics, Peter Xenos

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The Philippine epidemic experience suggests a research perspective that is attentive to local spatial variation and also recognizes connections across long periods of time, particularly across the Spanish and American colonial eras and the epidemic experience then and since. Among historical materials that need to be incorporated into the discourse and connected with evidence from modern, spatially disaggregated data systems are parish archival records of births, deaths, and marriages; households; and population changes. This research note outlines the Philippine parish records and presents illustrative results from twenty-eight parishes. Those records include local time series of deaths from which mortality crises, …


The Philippine Covidscape: Colonial Public Health Redux?, Warwick Anderson Oct 2020

The Philippine Covidscape: Colonial Public Health Redux?, Warwick Anderson

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Comparing historical perceptions of three epidemics in the Philippines and the responses they elicited allows us to see how these disease outbreaks were conceived in terms of configuration, whether ecological or sociological, and contamination. Cholera in 1902, influenza in 1918–1919, and Covid-19 in 2020 each open up revealing cross sections through Philippine social life, culture, and governance. Furthermore, simplistic assumptions of contamination or pollution—in contrast to more complexly structured configurational models—are correlated with coercive or militaristic reactions to pandemics, including social distancing, lockdowns, curfews, and suppression of dissent.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) Outbreak In The Philippines In 2003, Gideon Lasco Oct 2020

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) Outbreak In The Philippines In 2003, Gideon Lasco

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The global outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) dominated public discourse in the Philippines from March to May 2003. But, given the scale of its impact and the range of responses it elicited, it largely escaped documentation, likely owing to its abbreviated timeframe and the overall lack of scholarly attention to contemporary medical crises. Thisarticle reconstructs the “outbreak narrative” of SARS and the perceptions and practices that surrounded it. It discusses points of comparison between SARS and the Covid-19 pandemic, underscoring that many practices seen in both events are familiar, not exceptional, responses to health crises in the country. …


Care And Solidarity In The Time Of Covid-19: The Pandemic Experiences Of Filipinos In The Uk, Roderick Galam Oct 2020

Care And Solidarity In The Time Of Covid-19: The Pandemic Experiences Of Filipinos In The Uk, Roderick Galam

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle provides a preliminary account of how the lives of UK-based Filipinos have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic using care and solidarity as lenses to make sense of their experiences. By undertaking an intersectional analysis, it demonstrates how Filipinos’ experiences have been significantly shaped by the fact of their being migrants, which folds racism into their experiences. Alongside race/ethnicity and citizenship/migration status, their relationship with or location in the labor market has also shaped the impact of the pandemic on their lives. It concludes with a reflection on the duty of states to care for migrants. KEYWORDS: COVID-19 PANDEMIC …


Old Ways And New Fears: Bayanihan And Covid-19, Greg Bankoff Oct 2020

Old Ways And New Fears: Bayanihan And Covid-19, Greg Bankoff

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

In times of trouble, Filipinos traditionally turn to one another for help. This form of community assistance is popularly known as bayanihan. Historically, Filipinos have met the challenges of life in their perilous homeland, whether it be from natural or human causation, by working together. Except, apparently, it no longer does, and Filipinos are now told that the same properties that made their communities so resilient in the past have been transformed by the Covid-19 pandemic into their greatest vulnerability. Even the term bayanihan has been overtly redefined through legislation and government programs to reflect entirely different purposes. KEYWORDS: BAYANIHAN …

Science And Public Service During A Pandemic: Reflections From The Scientists Of The Philippine Government’S Covid-19 Surveillance Platform, Maria Regina Estuar, Joshua Uyheng, Marlene De Leon, Daniel Joseph Benito, Elvira De Lara-Tuprio, Carlo Estadilla, Timothy Teng

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

During the Covid-19 pandemic, science plays an important role in understanding and intervening in local outbreaks. Conducting scientific operations for pandemic response also takes on unique human and social dimensions. Reflexivity is often a key to understanding the perspectives that scientists take in applying theory to practice. In this essay we share that reflexivity by detailing personal reflections as scientists of FASSSTER, an integrated platform providing scientific intelligence to the Philippine government for monitoring and responding to the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
