...MacArthur finally returned to the Philippines in late 1944, the Japanese forces throughout the Pacific were reeling from American pressure and fighting what all concerned knew was a losing battle. In the grand strategic scheme for the Pacific campaign during World War II, re-capture of the Philippines was seen by the allies as an anchor to support the end-game: Capture of Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands and the final assault on the Japanese homeland. Taking the Philippine Islands was the task of the U.S. 6th Army under command of Lieutenant General Walter Krueger. His primary opponent was IJA General Homma who ordered his battered and scattered forces to re-group and head for the mountains of northern Luzon where he intended to make a desperate last stand. His scheme required a decision about what to do with thousands of allied POWs - many of them survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March who had been imprisoned for more than three years in brutal conditions and physical deprivation. They were weak, crippled and sick; many of them near death from starvation, overwork and disease. The Japanese General Staff in Tokyo issued a 'kill them all' order to commanders of various POW camps in the Philippines. The idea was to avoid having to deal with prisoners and to cover up what would be seen as war crimes when the end of the war finally came. General Krueger found out about this order from stay-behind guerilla commanders and from Philippine guerilla units when he landed in the...

...Antonio in Zambales and the former US Naval Reservation. The earliest predecessor to the USFAC Subic Bay was an un finished Spanish Naval Station, acquired by the U. S. in 1898, following the Spanish American War. During World War II, most of the original station was destroyed by American rear guard action and aircraft bombing attacks. Following World War II and the achievement of Philippine independence, a decision was made to establish a U. S. Naval Base at Subic Bay. Substantial construction efforts were begun and accelerated during the Korean Conflict, resulting in the establishment of the U. S. Naval Base, Subic Bay, in 1954. Much of the area now occupied by the Freeport was previously occupied by the City of Olongapo. At that time, the Commander of the Naval Base was also in control of the City of Olongapo. During the Vietnam Conflict, construction of the facilities was again accelerated, and with the expansion of the Seventh Fleet, Subic Bay became the busiest port in the Western Pacific. In February 1979, the Military Bases Agreement transferred control of the U. S. Naval Base, Subic Bay to the Philippine government. The Agreement expired in September 1991. The facilities have since been turned over to the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority as part of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone...

...The Japanese Period (1941-1945) Historical Background: Between 1941-1945, Philippine Literature was interrupted in its development when the Philippines were again conquered by another foreign country, Japan. Philippine literature in English came to a halt. Except for the TRIBUNE and the PHILIPPINE REVIEW, almost all newspapers in English were stopped by the Japanese. This had an advantageous effect on Filipino Literature, which experienced renewed attention because writers in English turned to writing in Filipino. Juan Laya, who uses to write in English, turned to Filipino because of the strict prohibitions of the Japanese regarding any writing in English. The weekly LIWAYWAY was placed under strict surveillance until it was managed by Japanese named Ishiwara. In other words, Filipino literature was given a break during this period. Many wrote plays, poems, short stories, etc. Topics and themes were often about life in the provinces. A. FILIPINO POETRY DURING THIS PERIOD The common theme of most poems during the Japanese occupation was nationalism, country, love, and life in the barrios, faith, religion and the arts. Three types of poems emerged during this period. They were: 1. Haiku –a poem of free verse that the Japanese like. It was made up of 17 syllables divided into three lines. The first line had 5 syllables, the second, 7 syllables, and the third, five. The Haiku is allegorical in meaning, is short and covers a wide scope in meaning. 2. Tanaga...

As it defined, it is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training. Moreover, it frequently takes place under the guidance of others, but may also be autodidactic. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one think, feels, or acts may be considered educational (Wikipedia). That is the reason why, the Philippine government assigns the highest budgetary priority ( Article XIV sec. 5 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution) to provide free education to all. According to one of the readings, education is absolutely beneficial for society on the whole. It is a life long process to each person that needs to be reinforced throughout life. However, we need education system that may eradicate illiteracy and may provide the common man an access not only to basic education but also to higher and technical education. Education is a teaching and learning process that involves teachers whose function is to teach young individuals and learners who will gain all the learning imparted by the teacher.

...Chapter 10 SOCIO-CULTURAL EVALUATION 1. Importance of Socio-Cultural Evaluation The socio-cultural resources of Central Luzon are potential resource-assets for tourism development. These resource-assets has great tourism application that can generate community-based livelihood and employment opportunities. The sociocultural resources include the traditional communities, archaeological and historical sites, festivals, indigenous arts and crafts, cuisine, myths and legends, as well as folklores and oral history. These resource-assets represent the country's heritage that is reflective of the region's identity. Promotions of socio-cultural resources for tourism purposes will require an extensive and meticulous evaluation because of the possible "over-exposures" that these cultural assets will have to withstand. Socio-cultural evaluation identifies the tourism potentials of these resource-assets with relevance to the environmental and cultural settings of the host communities. It also identifies the existing and perceived impacts of tourism to these socio-cultural assets and to devise appropriate mitigative measures and management plans to protect and better enhance cultural heritage for tourism development. The need to promote the cultural heritage of the Central Luzon region in the tourism industry should be balanced with the need to preserve and conserve the sociocultural integrity of these resources. The implications of tourism...

...Philippine forests and forestry By FLORENCIO TAMESIS THE forest is perhaps the most valuable replaceable natural resource of the Philippines. As a source of raw materials and revenue to the Government, it can be managed to yield for a long time more than it does at present. The latest estimate on the extent of the vegetative soil cover of the Philippines is as follows: | Area in Hectares | Percent | Commercial forest | 13,198,406 | 44.5 | Noncommercial forest | 4,296,786 | 14.4 | Marsh: | | | Fresh | 168,657 | | Salt | 438,155 | | | 606,812 | 2.0 | Open grassland | 5,203,620 | 17.5 | Cultivated | 6,434,348 | 21.6 | Total | 29,740,972 | 100.0 | Approximately 97.5 percent of the forest is owned by the Government and is administered by the Bureau of Forestry; 2.5 percent is privately owned. The greater bulk of the forest is in large blocks on the principal islands such as Luzon, Mindanao, Samar, Negros, and Palawan. Most of the forest is of the tropical rain type, complex in its composition. More than 3,000 species of trees attain a diameter of 30 centimeters (one foot) or more; however, less than sixty of these are marketed. Seventy-five percent of the stand consists of dipterocarps, commonly called lauan, to which "Philippine mahogany" belongs. It is conservatively estimated that the aggregate commercial standing timber is around 2,105,000,000 m3 ® (464,729,000,000 bd. ft.). Based on forest charges (government stumpage tax), this stand has a value of P2,341...

...MGA UNANG BAYANI NG WIKANG PAMBANSA (Talumpati para sa kumperensiyang Ambagan, 5 Marso 2009, Pulungang Recto, Faculty Center, UP Diliman) ni Virgilio S. Almario (TSIKA: Ang ating kumperensiya ngayon ay isang patunay na maraming mahalagang gawain táyong nakakalimutan para sa Wikang Pambansa. Sinasabi sa Seksiyong 6, Artikulo XIV ng Konstitusyong 1987 na: “Ang pambansang wika ng Filipinas ay Filipino. Hábang ito ay nabubuo, patuloy itong pauunlarin batay sa mga umiiral na wika sa Filipinas at iba pang wika.” Ano ang ginagawa natin para paunlarin ang ating wika? Kung pagbabatayan ang Sawikaan ng FIT nitóng nakaraang limáng taon, puro Ingles at imbentong wika ng bakla ang pumapasok ngayon sa ating kamalayan. Idiniin ng Konstitusyon ang pagpapayaman sa pamamagitan ng “mga umiiral na wika sa Filipinas”—na palagay ko’y nangangahulugang ang mga katutubong wika ng ating bansa—ngunit mukhang ipinababahala natin sa Diyos ang tungkuling ito. Na hindi mangyayari. Kayâ’t napakahalaga ng Ambagan upang magising táyo sa malaking hamon sa atin ng Konstitusyon at siya namang dapat gawin upang higit na maging totoong “pambansa” ang ating wika. “Pambansa” sapagkat kumukuha ng lakas sa mga katutubong wika ng bansa.) ISANG MAHALAGANG GAWAIN para sa Wikang Pambansa ang pagbuo mismo ng kasaysayan nitó. Hanggang ngayon, wala táyong mapagkakatiwalaang kasaysayan hinggil sa naging saligan ng simula at mga mohon ng pag-unlad ng Filipino. Kayâ walang sanggunian ang mga guro’t estudyante kahit...

...GENERAL TYPES OF LITERATURE Literature can generally be divided into two types: prose and poetry. Prose consists of those written within the common flow of conversation in sentences and paragraphs, while poetry refers to those expressions in verse, with measure and rhyme, line and stanza and has a more melodious tone. I. Prose There are many types of prose. These include novels, biographies, short stories, contemporary dramas, legends, fables, essays, anecdotes, news and speeches. 1. Novel. This is a long narrative divided into chapters. The events are taken from true-to-life stories and spans a long period of time. There are many characters involved. 2. Short Story. This is a narrative involving one or more characters, one plot, and one single impression. 3. Plays. This is presented in a stage. It is divided into acts and each act has many scenes. 4. Legends. These are fictitious narratives, usually about origins. 5. Fables. These are fictitious and they deal with animals and inanimate things who speak and act like people and their purpose is to enlighten the minds of children to events that can mold their ways and attitudes. 6. Anecdotes. These are merely products of the writer’s imagination and the main aim is to bring out lessons to the reader. 7. Essay. This expresses the viewpoint or opinion of the writer about a particular problem or event. 8. Biography. This deals with the life of a person which may be about himself, his autobiography...
