...INTRAMUROS HISTORY: Pre-Hispanic period The strategic location of Manila along the bayand at the mouth of Pasig River made it an ideal location for the Tagalog andKapampangan tribes and kingdoms to trade with merchants from China, India, Borneo andIndonesia. Before the first arrival of Europeans on Luzonisland, the island was part of the Majapahitempire around the 14th century, according to the epic eulogy poem Nagarakretagama which described its conquest by MahārājaHayam Wuruk.[6] The region was invaded around 1485 by Sultan Bolkiah and became a part of the Sultanate of Brunei.[7] The site of Intramuros then became a part of theIslamic Kingdom of Maynila ruled by various Datus, Rajas and the Sultan. Spanish conquest of Manila In 1564, Spanish explorers led by Miguel López de Legazpi sailed from New Spain(now Mexico), and arrived on the island of Cebu on February 13, 1565, establishing the first Spanish colony in the Philippines. Having heard of the rich resources in Manilafrom the natives, Legazpi dispatched two of his lieutenant-commanders, Martín de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo to explore the northern regions of the Visayan islands. The Spaniards arrived on the island of Luzon in 1570. After quarrel and misunderstandings between the Islamic natives and the Spaniards, they fought for the control of the land and settlements. After several months of warfare, the natives were defeated, and the Spaniards made a peace pact with the tribal councils of Rajah Sulaiman III, Rajah...

...HUMANITIES 1 (RESEARCH PAPER) HISTORY OF PAINTINGS AND ARTISTS IN THE WORLD ADRIAN M SITCHON PROF. PEREZ 4TH YEAR/BS.HRM/NS (SUBMITTED BY) TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION HISTORY BODY * EASTERN PAINTING * WESTERN PAINTING * 20th-CENTURY MODERN * AND CONTEMPORARY DEFINITION OF TERMS * FAMOUS PAINTERS * AND BIOGRAPHY * Paintings of famous painters CONCLUSION RECOMMENDATION REFERENCE INTRODUCTION: Painting can be done in a variety of media. For example, Oils, Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache and Tempera. Paints are made from a pigment, and a binder. Binder is relatively cheap, while pigment is much more expensive. Pigments are a colored powder, made from organic or inorganic materials. (This is different than a colorant, which dyes or stains a color.) All paints use the same basic pigments, but the binder changes. The binder for acrylics dries quickly and the paint is more like a plastic than oils which have an oil based binder and dry slowly. Oil Paints are often built up in layers or glazes. The other paints---Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache, and Tempera---are water-based, meaning the paint can be diluted with water and clean-up can be done with soap and water. Oil paints, on the other hand, require paint thinner to clean brushes. The number and variety of painting techniques is endless. Besides quality of paint, factors affecting color quality include: paint opacity, glossiness of painting surface...

Before they consisted of three different streets: Calle Fundicion (Foundry) in the current PLM stretch of the walls, Calle Baluarte fronting the San Juan de Letran and the original Calle Muralla behind the San Juan de Letran. Most of the pre-war structures on this part of Intramuros were obliterated during and after the last war. Today, modern buildings occupy the site. Only markers describe the glorious architecture of churches and buildings that once stood on this side of the Walled City. * LPU GATE 2 WELCOME THE GUEST (REAL STREET- The Street is just one of the numerous Calle Real that existed during the Spanish Period.

Labor2 1AB Communication Arts Seniors, Institute of Communication, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Colegio de San Juan de Letran 2 Faculty, Language Area, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Colegio de San Juan de Letran ABSTRACT Pinoy Big Brother of ABS-CBN Channel 2 is the Philippine version of the reality television show Big Brother. Television’s effects on viewers especially teenagers is a subject that has been extensively studied in the last twenty years and whose impact extends farther than most people realize. Many studies have focused on how television programs that appear to be “real” (such as new and daytime dramas) alter the viewers’ perception of reality (or social reality). However, there is a lack of qualitative data to either support or disprove this belief. This study thus aims to describe and discuss the pluses, minuses and interests (PMI) of the perception of Pinoy Big Brother to teenagers. Forty selected teenagers who are a fan of the show were the participants of this qualitative inquiry. Initially, the teenagers were made to fill out forms for purposes of profiling their baseline characteristics. The teenagers were asked individually to discuss both their positive and negative perceptions to Pinoy Big Brother. Data...

It was also the bastion of strong Christian Faith. There used to stand, within the walls of Intramuros, seven houses of God, all built with architectural magnificence.

...INTRAMUROS Intramuros (Latin: within the walls) is the historic centre and oldest district of Manila, the capital city of the Philippines. Also known as the Ciudad Murada (Walled City) because of its most famous feature: a nearly three-mile-long circuit of massive stone walls and fortifications that almost completely surrounds the entire district. Understand From the city's foundation in 1571 to the end of Spanish rule in 1898, Intramuros was Manila. The Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi laid the foundations of the new capital on the former site of Maynilad, a palisaded riverside settlement ruled by a native chieftain. To protect the inhabitants from attack, in the late 1500s construction began on a series of stone walls and fortifications that would eventually enclose a pentagonal area approximately 0.67 sq km in size, within which lay a tight grid-like system of streets and a main square surrounded by government structures. The defensive curtain was more or less completed by the 1700s, although improvements and other construction work continued well into the next century. Within the protective walls rose a city of stone palaces, churches, monasteries, convents, schools, and fine courtyard houses. In the centuries that followed, Manila (meaning Intramuros) served as the capital of the Spanish East Indies - the centre of commerce, education, government, and religion in Spain's most distant imperial possession. Except for a brief period under British rule (1762-1764)...

...“Historical Places” The Fort Santiago, National Museum, some part of Intramuros, the Rizal Park, and Paco Park are the five historical places here in Manila that we went to. It was a great chance and opportunity for me to see and visit them, since aside from Rizal Park, it was my first time to be in those places. The activity gave me a meaningful experience for I gained much information beyond those written on books. It was awesome and fun having a tour in our country’s historical spots increasing our appreciation to these beautiful scenery of the past even until now. Our first stop was in Intramuros. There, we took pictures and enjoyed a little walk above the mighty wall. We went on up to the wider part where some realistic cannons are displayed. Thereafter, we took some rest and went on to the National Museum. Before entering, we were reminded about some strict rules upon going inside the museum. I was comfortable inside for the place was cool and clean. I was amazed on the different artworks and paintings created by our Filipino painters, especially the “Spoliarium” by Juan Luna. It was so magnificent and large that I was inspired with the effort and time he spent to finish the painting. There were more or less a thousand of artworks displayed in the national museum and all are unique, some were unfinished because of a closed reason and some were too old but still can be appreciated because of the impact of art in the eyes. For me, it was great...

...Field trips are always fun. Not only it enables you to learn and appreciate your environment but also it brings bonding to your group. Honestly, I have gone to Rizal’s Shrine both in Intramuros and Laguna a couple of times already, whether I am with my family or with my classmates but that was when I had a not-fully-developed memory and understanding of things. Now that I have refreshed my blurred vision of what Rizal’s Shrine looked like in Intramuros and in Laguna, I thought there would be no learning because of the aforementioned statement but I was wrong. There was indeed a difference. A Difference in looking, in perceiving and in understanding things. For the reason that I have grown and I have different group of people as my companion, who at some point had influenced the way I recognize things. We first visited Intramuros where I saw Rizal’s footprints— again. Being nostalgic, I remembered when I was a little girl, I enthusiastically follow Rizal’s metal footsteps, which I thought was big but now, my feet doesn’t even fit in Rizal’s shoes. I still tried to follow it, and as I went farther, I realized all his efforts just for freedom to reign in our poor country. I knew that with each step, are his hardships and dedication for the betterment of the future Filipinos— us. Second stop— Rizal’s house at Calamba, Laguna. I honestly thought going there was just a waste of time, money and energy but again, I was wrong. Upon entering Rizal’s house, I saw their utensils, bedroom...
