...certain cultural perception will create positive results to both heritage and host cultures. It also looks into the positive or negative responses of the Vietnamese as they get accultured to the host city, thus, discovering ways to manage cultural conflicts and understanding others’ cultures. Thus, sociocultural factors as language, food, communication styles and behavioral patterns are looked into and used as contexts to determine how the Vietnamese operate in the local community and thus speed up their acculturation and accommodation. Puerto Princesa is a city located in the western provincial island of Palawan, Philippines. Though the provincial seat of government for Palawan, the city itself is one of 38 independent cities within the Philippines not controlled by the province in which it is geographically located and is therefore an independent area located within Palawan. As of 2010, Puerto Princesa had a population of 222,673 people, making it the least densely populated city in the Philippines. In terms of land area, the city is the second largest geographically after Davao City. Today, Puerto Princesa is a popular tourist city with many beach resorts and seafood restaurants.

...History The pioneer settlers of the Mindoro Islands were the Aeta, referred to in the early Spanish accounts as the Chichimecos. It has been theorized that when the Malay immigrants arrived in Mindoro, they pushed the Aeta deep into the interior. The former, however, did not completely isolate the latter and instead continued bartering their commodities with forest products which were in turn traded with foreign merchants plying Philippine seas. The Mangyan settled along the shores of Mindoro Island approximately 600-700 years ago. It is believed that they had come from the southern regions of the archipelago. They were gradually forced to leave their coastal settlements by more aggressive groups. It appears that the Mangyan have traditionally been an unwarlike people, choosing to give up an area uncontested rather than fight for it. The earliest accounts, which mention Mindoro and its people, are found 13th century Chinese dynastic records. A number of Chinese state documents, particularly those written in the Sung and Ming dynasties, suggest that before the coming of the Spanish conquistadors, commercial trade was flourishing between the inhabitants of Mindoro and Chinese merchants. Objects unearthed on the island, such as ceramics, porcelain, large earthenware, beads, and glass object are evidence of precolonial trade, which contributed to the shaping of an indigenous material culture among the early inhabitants of Mindoro. The island was a viable...

...Many people today, both ordinary Filipinos and some historians not acquainted with the Philippines, are surprised when they learn that the ancient Filipinos actually had a writing system of their own. The complete absence of truly pre-Hispanic specimens of the baybayin script is puzzling and it has lead to a common misconception that fanatical Spanish priests must have burned or otherwise destroyed massive amounts of native documents as they did so Social expediency was another reason for Filipinos to abandon the baybayin in favour of the alphabet. They found the alphabet easy to learn and it was a skill that helped them to get ahead in life under the Spanish regime, working in relatively prestigious jobs as clerks, scribes and secretaries. With his usual touch of exaggeration, Fr. Pedro Chirino made an observation in 1604 that shows how easily Filipinos took to the new alphabet. But if reasons of practicality were behind the demise of the baybayin, why did it not survive as more than a curiosity? Why was it not retained for at least ceremonial purposes such as inscriptions on buildings and monuments, or practiced as a traditional art like calligraphy in other Asian countries? The sad fact is that most forms of indigenous art in the Philippines were abandoned wherever the Spanish influence was strong and only exist today in the regions that were out of reach of the Spanish empire. Hector Santos, a researcher living in California, suggested that obligations...

...During my younger years, we travelled a lot. Though I was born in Manila in 1995, most of my childhood memories lie within the realm of Palawan. I was around 2 years old when we sort of migrated to the province. My parents are both from Manila. But circumstances led us to Palawan where we stayed for almost 10 years. Within the province itself, we had to transfer to other sites for seven times. So by the time I reached 12, I felt that I had been all around. Around Palawan, at least. But don’t get me wrong. Palawan is nice and clean. I enjoyed life there, except for the water supply and electricity that came only a few hours a day. But we were provided with provisions to cope up. We had rechargeable lights and fans. We had a never ending supply of bottled water. We had the means to have things delivered to us from the city. Mind you, the city of Puerto Princesa is some 10 hours trip on a rough road from the place which we stayed the longest. Trip to the city was once a day, unless you want to go by sea, in a pumpboat for at least 5 hours, depending on the height of the waves. My sister and I grew up with nature. Looking back, our pets were the farm animals. My father is a real animal lover. Cows and carabaos were all over. It felt good to hear the goat’s noise…, to give water to the chicken, to chase the ducklings and to feed the pig. Other than our very loyal dog Jaguar, we even had baby monkeys and exotic pets like the squirrel, bat, the eagle, and the owl we all...

...The Ethics and Attitudes towards Ecotourism in the Philippines - Mary Ann Chen Ng, MSc. Eubios Ethics Institute, Philippines Email: maryannchenng@yahoo.com The Philippines, a developing country in South East Asia, is faced with the challenges of an increasing population, poverty, inequality, and corruption. With more than a quarter of the Filipino population falling below the poverty threshold, the pressure for productivity and growth has led to practices that have resulted in environmental stress and degradation. In response, the Philippine government has adopted the rhetoric of sustainable development as defined by the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development. Government policies on economic development have reflected this vision of sustainability and poverty reduction. A major part of the government's economic development plan is ecotourism. In preparation for 2003: Visit the Philippines Year, the Department of Tourism has been actively marketing the country as a safe tropical holiday destination (DOTa, 2002). The aggressive sales missions and advertising campaigns, along with the various activities in 2002 commemorating the International Year of Ecotourism, aim to increase visitor arrivals, and consequently bring in more foreign currency to the country. How much is actually at stake? In 2000 alone, the total annual revenue directly attributed from tourism amounted to about US$ 2.5 billion. There were 1.8 million...
