Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
This introduction examines the historical evolution of health messaging in the Philippines, tracing its roots from early twentieth-century colonial public health campaigns to contemporary pandemic responses. It argues that health messaging, initially termed “medical propaganda,” has consistently served as a tool for persuasion and governance, intertwining communication, politics, and medicine. The introduction highlights how visual technologies and simplified narratives have been used to normalize biomedical authority, often obscuring complex realities. It concludes by emphasizing the need for a broader epistemic repertoire to navigate health knowledge in an era of misinformation.

Feminization Of Responsibility In Community Recovery: Rethinking Disaster Justice Through The Lens Of Care, Kaira Zoe; Alburo-Cañete
Feminization Of Responsibility In Community Recovery: Rethinking Disaster Justice Through The Lens Of Care, Kaira Zoe; Alburo-Cañete
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
In the Philippines women are increasingly recognized for their crucial roles in disaster recovery. While not against participation per se, thisarticle troubles assumptions tied to women’s participation, which are based on constructions of women’s altruism and care responsibilities. Drawing from a qualitative case study in post-Yolanda Tacloban, it contends that instrumentalizing women’s care-based practices in disasters may inadvertently worsen gender inequalities. To achieve gender justice in recovery, thearticle advocates addressing the confinement of care to women and emphasizes integrating an ethics of care into disaster justice frameworks to combat pervasive injustices that contribute to gendered vulnerabilities during disasters.KEYWORDS: DISASTER JUSTICE …

Reframing Disaster Justice: Conceptual Provocations, Practical Insights, And Research Directions, Redento B.; Recio, Kaira Zoe; Alburo-Cañete, Pamela Gloria; Cajilig
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
As we articulated in the introduction to the first installment of this two-part special issue, our aim is to offer a space that provokes a reflection and articulation of disaster justice praxis to generate conceptual, empirical, and practical insights across various Philippine contexts. In this second installment, we present several thematic threads emerging from the three researcharticles and the reflective conversations with disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) practitioners. These themes include (1) enriching disaster justice praxis and tackling issues around “justice gaps”; (2) interrogating initiatives to “shift the power” and localize DRRM interventions; and (3) revisiting the role of …

The Woman Question During The Japanese Occupation In Kikuko Kawakami’S And Tsuyako Miyake’S Philippine Diaries (1943), Julz E.; Riddle
The Woman Question During The Japanese Occupation In Kikuko Kawakami’S And Tsuyako Miyake’S Philippine Diaries (1943), Julz E.; Riddle
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
Realizing the value of women’s labor in the war effort, the Japanese Empire called for women all over the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere (GEACPS) to shed Western influence. In 1943 Filipino women intellectuals and two Japanese writers, Kikuko Kawakami and Tsuyako Miyake, held two roundtable meetings to discuss the woman’s role within the “New Order.” Based on Kawakami and Miyake’s hitherto unstudied accounts of these meetings, thisarticle examines the discourse between Filipino and Japanese women, particularly on the women’s position in Japan’s GEACPS. The tensions present in both accounts tell of the complex power relations that informed their dialogues. …

The Laguna Copperplate Inscription: Tenth-Century Luzon, Java, And The Malay World, Elsa; University Clavé, Arlo Griffiths
The Laguna Copperplate Inscription: Tenth-Century Luzon, Java, And The Malay World, Elsa; University Clavé, Arlo Griffiths
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
The Laguna Copperplate Inscription is one of very few Philippine historical documents dating from the precolonial period and the only one bearing information on the social life of the Manila region before the arrival of the Spanish. Building on previous studies which discussed the significance of the inscription in the context of Luzon and the Philippines, thisarticle proposes a reading of the inscription in the larger context of maritime Southeast Asia. We focus on how this document complicates the current understanding of the historical roles of the Malay language. On this basis, we call for a revision of the notion …
Bagay: A Structural-Phenomenological Discussion Of A Movement, Niccolo Rocamora; Vitug
Bagay: A Structural-Phenomenological Discussion Of A Movement, Niccolo Rocamora; Vitug
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
Thisarticle discusses the Bagay movement using critical discourse analysis, a structural approach, and the concept of loob or inner life through a phenomenological approach in the context of the Ateneo de Manila in the 1960s, when the university underwent Filipinization. While literature on social movements is useful in understanding Bagay, concepts from the humanities may further enrich it. Starting as a literary movement that forwarded a poetic style characterized by its novel use of imagery and language, Bagay grew into a social movement that influenced changes within the academic landscape of the Ateneo and various aspects of Philippine culture.

A Matter Of Grave Concern: Burial Sites And Funeral Rites In The Nineteenth-Century Philippines, Xavier; Department Huetz De Lemps
A Matter Of Grave Concern: Burial Sites And Funeral Rites In The Nineteenth-Century Philippines, Xavier; Department Huetz De Lemps
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
Thisarticle seeks to describe the colonial cemetery in the Philippines at the turn of the eighteenth and the nineteenth century in four material dimensions: location, spatial planning, ethnic and social differentiation, and economical importance for the parish. From 1804 onward, colonial attempts to regulate burial practices centered on the spatial relocation of the deceased. Closely correlated with the cholera outbreaks in the Philippines, the growing pressure exerted by colonial authorities on burial practices gave rise to a complex mix of political, social, and ethnic tensions that both reflected the enormous complexity of colonial society and contributed to recompose it.KEYWORDS: CATHOLIC …
Lords Of Contention: Local Conflicts In The Cathedral Chapter Of Manila In The Late Seventeenth Century, Alexandre; University Coello De La Rosa
Lords Of Contention: Local Conflicts In The Cathedral Chapter Of Manila In The Late Seventeenth Century, Alexandre; University Coello De La Rosa
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
Thisarticle focuses on ecclesiastical contentiousness in the cathedral chapters (cabildos) in the seventeenth-century Philippines. First, it demonstrates the way in which intra-elite confrontations, negotiation, and local agency among church entities molded the city of Manila as a political arena. Second, it discusses Bishop Ginés de Barrientos’s (1681–1698) political unrest against the cabildo members, which demonstrate that disobedience was not the exception but the everyday rule. To reconstruct social fields set in motion in early modern Manila, this case study opens up a new conflict-ridden paradigm of religious division that stresses competition, contentiousness, and factionalism in the cathedral body.KEYWORDS: CATHEDRAL CHAPTER …
The Scholastic Foundations Of Emilio Jacinto’S Liwanag At Dilim (Light And Darkness), C. 1896, Johaina K.; Crisostomo
The Scholastic Foundations Of Emilio Jacinto’S Liwanag At Dilim (Light And Darkness), C. 1896, Johaina K.; Crisostomo
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
Focusing on Emilio Jacinto’s conception of freedom (kalayaan) and legitimate political authority in Liwanag at Dilim (Light and Darkness), thisarticle traces his thinking to the political theories developed during the Spanish Counter-Reformation by theologians such as Francisco de Vitoria and Francisco Suárez. It argues that Jacinto’s vernacular political theology had Scholastic foundations. It provides an alternative intellectual history to Philippine revolutionary thought that is neither founded upon Protestant, northwestern European liberal influences nor derived from folk millenarianism but instead emphasizes the need to approach the “Filipino Enlightenment” as participating in a larger, global, distinctly Hispanic intellectual phenomenon.KEYWORDS: POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY • …
