Agustin Martin Rodriguez. Mula Bayang Sawi Hanggang Lupang Hinirang: Ang Pag-Uunawa Ng Pilipino Sa Pilipinas, Nathanael Navarro

Mabini Review

In Agustin Martin Rodrguez's book entitled "Mula Bayang Sawi Hanggang lupang Hinirang: Ang Pag-uunawa ng Pilipino sa Pilipinas," he continued his philosophical project that discusses the different rationalities in a society. However, in this book, Rodriguez's enrichment of the discourse regarding the inequitable and unequal enjoyment of development took on a more historical bent. Drawing from different periods in Philippine history, Rodriguez demonstrated how the pursuit of freedom and justice is not just an abstract issue, but are concepts that permeate many dimensions of the Filipinos and the hardships and oppressions they endure. Although the lack of philosophical analysis in …

Isang Mungkahing Tipolohiya Ng Teolohiyang Pilipino, Mark Joseph Pascua Santos

Mabini Review

Filipino Theology, as a Filipinization movement, has been around for more than five decades since 1970s, when theological works that consciously sought to explore the Filipinoness of theology as a discipline began to emerge.

To this end, F.P.A Demeterio’s typology in Filipino Philosophy will be utilized as a model, along with Atoy Navarro’s structure of subfields within Bagong Kasaysayan. Using these two models, the researcher developed …

Marcos Sr.’s claims were self-serving, but he was correct in emphasizing martial law’s roots in colonialism. Martial law is an English and American colonial tradition and legal conundrum.
