When Was The Seminary Of Nueva Caceres Founded? A Historiographical Excursus, Jethro Calacday Jun 2019

When Was The Seminary Of Nueva Caceres Founded? A Historiographical Excursus, Jethro Calacday

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

When was the Seminario Conciliar de Nueva Caceres (later known as the Holy Rosary Seminary) founded? Did it originate from a certain Casa de Clérigos allegedly in existence since the seventeenth century? Existing histories answer the second question in the affirmative. However, the claim that the Casa de Clérigos was continuous with the seminary is unfounded; this claim emerged only in the 1940s, but it has been widely accepted as historical truth. This essay asserts that Bishop Juan Antonio Gallego de Órbigo established the seminary on 11 May 1785, an entity distinct fromthe Casa.KEYWORDS: SEMINARIES • PHILIPPINE CATHOLIC CHURCH • …

Scholarship On And From The Margins: Festschrift In Honor Of Resil B. Mojares, Filomeno V. Aguilar Jr, Michael D. Pante, Carolines S. Hau Jan 2019

Scholarship On And From The Margins: Festschrift In Honor Of Resil B. Mojares, Filomeno V. Aguilar Jr, Michael D. Pante, Carolines S. Hau

History Department Faculty Publications

A motif that runs through the articles in this special double issue in honor of Resil B. Mojares is the fecundity of the geographic and social margins. Mojares himself celebrates the margin as a “good place to be in” for a writer, who, he emphasizes, must not lapse into isolationism and parochialism. The articles in this issue exemplify scholarship from and on the margins, which are expansive in orientation, yielding fresh insights that challenge current interpretations and giving rise to new historiographies.

Producing Ferdinand E. Marcos, The Scholarly Author, Miguel Paolo Reyes

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle discusses the compelling evidence—found in various primaryand secondary sources and analyzed through methods drawn from bookhistory and plagiarism detection—that not one of the books authored byPres. Ferdinand E. Marcos was actually written by him. Thearticle alsoshows how many of “Marcos’s” books had either plagiarized content(e.g., republishing contents from previous works) or were “padded” withlengthy appendices. It also explains the seemingly far-reaching distributionnetwork of these books. Lastly, thearticle looks into how these books,although they have not been republished for decades, continue to servetheir intended functions.KEYWORDS: FERDINAND E.

Bonifacio And The Katipunan In The Cuerpo De Vigilancia Archival Collection, Rene R. Escalante Nov 2017

Bonifacio And The Katipunan In The Cuerpo De Vigilancia Archival Collection, Rene R. Escalante

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

A little-known source for writing the history of the Philippine revolution is the voluminous collection of documents and other materials gathered by the Cuerpo de Vigilancia de Manila, the intelligence service created by the Spanish colonial state in 1895. Thisarticle discusses its acquisition by the Philippine government in 1997. In utilizing some of the collection’s contents, thisarticle demonstrates its utility for enriching knowledge about the Katipunan, such as its founding, its clandestine operations, and the members’ socioeconomic background. Thisarticle also shows how documents in this collection illumine the social history of ordinary people during the revolutionary period.Keywords: intelligence reports • …


Authorizing Illicit Intimacies: Filipina–Gi Interracial Relations In The Postwar Philippines, Stephanie Fajardo Nov 2017

Authorizing Illicit Intimacies: Filipina–Gi Interracial Relations In The Postwar Philippines, Stephanie Fajardo

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Intimate relations between American servicemen (GIs) and Filipina women increased visibly following the Second World War in the Philippines. As interactions became routine, women who developed close interpersonal relationships with GIs became associated with vice and loose morals. Thisarticle analyzes the multiple forces that maintained such associations, including the US military and local government’s interconnected forms of intimate management and Philippine cultural productions’ contradictory depictions of Filipino–American intimacies. It argues that the “bar system,” which arose from businesses exploiting sexual labor, the legal system combating prostitution, and health initiatives seeking to eradicate venereal disease, effectively authorized illicit intimacies.Keywords: US military …


Horacio De La Costa, Foreign Missionaries, And The Quest For Filipinization: The Church In The Age Of Decolonization, Jr. Aguilar, Nicholas; Ateneo Sy Sep 2017

Horacio De La Costa, Foreign Missionaries, And The Quest For Filipinization: The Church In The Age Of Decolonization, Jr. Aguilar, Nicholas; Ateneo Sy

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Fr. Horacio de la Costa became the first Filipino Superior of the Jesuit Province in the Philippines (1964–1970) at a time when the Filipinization of religious orders was intensely contested. As a young priest, De la Costa sought the training of more Filipino priests so that the Catholic Church would “take root” in the country. Filipinization, however, entailed two further questions: Filipino assumption of leadership positions and the role of foreign missionaries. Thisarticle examines how De la Costa’s approaches to these issues shifted when he became provincial and as the crisis in Philippine society deepened, revealing the intertwining of national …

Typhoons And The Inequalities Of Philippine Society And History, James Francis Warren Oct 2016

Typhoons And The Inequalities Of Philippine Society And History, James Francis Warren

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Cyclonic storms have helped shape the character of particular regions and areas in the Philippines. But typhoons have not affected all people and all areas in the archipelago equally. Patterns of death and damage from cyclonic storms and the capacity of people to recover and reconstruct their livelihoods reveal differences based on history, regional wealth, and sociopolitical organization. Thisarticle provides comparative examples and explores aspects of the impacts of typhoons—specifically those of 1831, 1882, 1970, 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2013—on Philippine society and history, with particular reference to population increase and cyclonic storms; economic development and typhoons; and political development …


Historical Seismology And The Documentation Of Postdisaster Conditions: The 1863 And 1880 Luzon Earthquakes, Francis A. Gealogo Oct 2016

Historical Seismology And The Documentation Of Postdisaster Conditions: The 1863 And 1880 Luzon Earthquakes, Francis A. Gealogo

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The June 1863 and July 1880 earthquakes that struck Manila and environs caused widespread destruction. But in varied and complex ways they stimulated the documentation of earthquakes and their aftermath, ranging from cataloging past earthquakes that placed these events in a historical series of earthquakes to recording street- and neighborhood-level damages to buildings and infrastructure to writing appeals for state support for victims years after the event. This documentation reveals different layers of the narratives of the social history of these two disasters and other similar events in Philippine history.Keywords: earthquake history • primary sources • historical seismology • disaster …

Out Of The Silence, The Men Of Naujan Speak: Tagalog Texts From The Seventeenth Century, Damon L. Woods Aug 2015

Out Of The Silence, The Men Of Naujan Speak: Tagalog Texts From The Seventeenth Century, Damon L. Woods

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

From Naujan on the island Mindoro in the seventeenth-century Spanish Philippines emerged two petitions written in Tagalog and addressed to the archbishop of Manila, asking for the continued presence of Jesuits replacing the secular priests assigned there. A close examination of the texts points to the resident Jesuit as the force behind these petitions. Thearticle argues that, apart from refracting the conflict between the regular and secular clergy over the control of parishes, these documents recognize the agency of the men who signed it. Also explored are the question of the documents’ survival and the rewriting of history using materials …


Sumpong Spirit Beliefs, Murder, And Religious Change Among Eighteenth-Century Aeta And Ilongot In Eastern Central Luzon, Mark; Ateneo Dizon Feb 2015

Sumpong Spirit Beliefs, Murder, And Religious Change Among Eighteenth-Century Aeta And Ilongot In Eastern Central Luzon, Mark; Ateneo Dizon

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

In common usage and in psychology sumpong is considered a deviant and irrational behavior. Thisarticle makes sense of sumpong by putting it in the historical context of animism, specifically that of the eighteenth-century Aeta and Ilongot of eastern Central Luzon. As a form of perception, feeling, and action, sumpong was temporally flat since past, present, and future did not succeed one another in linear fashion. Based on historical dictionaries and usage, thisarticle explores the role of sumpong as an affective and culturally intelligible way of understanding and acting in the animist world as seen in cases of murder and religious …


Popular Religion And The Turn To Everyday Authenticity: Reflections On The Contemporary Study Of Philippine Catholicism, Jayeel S. Cornelio Oct 2014

Popular Religion And The Turn To Everyday Authenticity: Reflections On The Contemporary Study Of Philippine Catholicism, Jayeel S. Cornelio

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The seminal works on everyday religion in the Philippines that appeared in the 1960s were motivated by pastoral concerns. Since the 1990s, however, there has been a growing interest in everyday religion as authentic expressions of what it means for individuals to be Catholic. This turn in the scholarship of social scientists and religious scholars has been driven less by the question of secularization than the demand for religion’s local relevance. Thisarticle explores the conditions under which the turn to authenticity has emerged in Philippine studies: the socioeconomic contexts, the expansion of the social sciences, the changing attitudes to religious …


Marian Piety And Modernity: The Perpetual Help Devotion As Popular Religion In The Philippines, Manuel Victor Sapitula Oct 2014

Marian Piety And Modernity: The Perpetual Help Devotion As Popular Religion In The Philippines, Manuel Victor Sapitula

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle argues that Marian piety in the form of the Perpetual Help Devotion exemplifies “modern popular religion,” which has grown through mechanisms of strategic accommodation and creative refashioning in response to urban transitions in Metropolitan Manila and the ecclesiastical elites’ regulation of piety. Differences between religious authorities and devotees have produced diversified devotional practices, which retain their relevance due to an ethic of self-care that enables devotees to craft identities and self-understandings in the modern context. Rather than a threat, modernity provides opportunity structures and resources that enable religious beliefs and practices to respond to the exigencies of modernity.KEYWORDS: Popular …


The Early Periodicals Of The Iglesia Filipina Independiente (1903–1904) And The Emergence Of A Transregional And Transcontinental Indigenous-Christian Public Sphere, Adrian Hermann Oct 2014

The Early Periodicals Of The Iglesia Filipina Independiente (1903–1904) And The Emergence Of A Transregional And Transcontinental Indigenous-Christian Public Sphere, Adrian Hermann

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The early periodicals of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI), La Verdad (1903) and La Iglesia Filipina Independiente: Revista Católica (1903–1904), have been quoted as primary sources but have not been explored in their own right. Since its beginnings, the IFI understood itself as belonging to a transcontinental, global movement of independent Catholic churches. The periodicals published various letters that the IFI had received from foreign Catholic groups that were similarly independent of Rome. This research note focuses on these periodicals and locates the IFI in an emerging transregional and transcontinental indigenous-Christian public sphere.Keywords: Iglesia Filipina Independiente • Periodicals • Indigenous-Christian …

Contracting Colonialism And The Long 1970s, Vicente L. Rafael Nov 2013

Contracting Colonialism And The Long 1970s, Vicente L. Rafael

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

How is it that a book published over twenty-five years ago dealing with a distant historical moment, consisting of a series of close readings of equally obscure texts that few scholars of even the same period bother to read and informed by a style of thinking largely foreign to nationalist ideas, continues to be read and referenced not only in the Philippines but in other parts of the world? Thisarticle seeks to answer this question by placing the making of Contracting Colonialism within the context of the long 1970s in both the Philippines and the United States.Keywords: ContraCting Colonialism • …

Postcolonial Fissures And The Contingent Nation An Antinationalist Critique Of Philippine Historiography, Lisandro E. Claudio Mar 2013

Postcolonial Fissures And The Contingent Nation An Antinationalist Critique Of Philippine Historiography, Lisandro E. Claudio

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle examines instances in Philippine historiography where nationalism, as a unitary end, has been used to elide and obscure class difference. It begins with a partial explanation of the lacunae in antinationalist thinking in the Philippines, and then proceeds to a critique of contemporary nationalist historiography. Using historians Zeus Salazar and Reynaldo Ileto as case studies, it examines how nationalist historiography can serve as means to implicitly justify localized acts of class oppression. The works of these scholars, while crucial in forwarding critiques of colonialism and neocolonialism, privilege nationalist unity over thorough examinations of disjunctures produced by class difference.
