Development Studies Program

The A.B. in Development Studies was instituted in 1980 as an urgent response to the need to develop practitioners and scholars in development work to confront urgent socio-economic problems in the Philippines. Development Studies enables the students to cull from the experiences of other nations, particularly in the Third World, so that they can develop the ability to formulate and implement developmental programs which are nationalist, scientific, and people-oriented. Both external and internal factors of development are taken into consideration.

The program includes the following areas: development theory, comparative studies, Philippine national development, research methodology, and administrative techniques.

Random Thoughts

• Nanalo ako sa Lotto 6/49 noong Linggo! 4 sa 6 na numero. P800 ang premyo. Nagastos ko na. Ika-4 na taya ko ito sa Lotto simula noong ipinanganak ako. Unang panalo.
• Dahil sa init ng panahon, napakadaming na-stroke at inatake sa puso (mga traydor at life-style related na sakit) noong nakaraang 2 buwan. Mangyayari ito taun-taon (Abril-Mayo).
• Dahil sa kawalan ng impormasyon ukol sa 300% na pagtaas ng matrikula sa Peyups, madaming freshies ang hindi nakapag-enroll. Kulang ang pera. Dinaig pa ng UP ang mga pribadong kolehiyo dahil sa napakalaking porsyento ng pagtataas ng matrikula nito.
• Talo si Ali Atienza! Una, ibinuhos ng oposisyon ang suporta kay Lim (Erap, Lacson, Lopez, atpb.). Ikalawa, balwarte ng oposisyon ang Maynila (noon hanggang ngayon). Ikatlo, kaalyado ni Lito Atienza si Gloria at "kiss of death" ang pagkakaroon ng kaugnayan sa kanya. Ayun, collateral damage tuloy itong si Ali (malas!). Ika-apat, sa mga nasaksihan kong kampanya ay bihirang pinagsasalita ni Lito ang kanyang anak. Lalo tuloy nagmukhang walang gulugod itong bagito. Puro ngiti at kaway lang. Akala ko tuloy ay pipi itong si Ali. Panghuli, epektibo ang kontra-krimen na plataporma ni Lim lalo't higit ang aspetong ito ang napabayaan ni Atienza.

random thoughts

• Fly-by-night schools/institutes attach "International/Asian"
  to their names in order to create an illusion of prestige
  and excellence. The qualifier (i.e. International/Asian) has
  lost its meaning since no foreign students are actually enrolled
  and no foreign instructors are actually hired. The quality of
  education is also far from international standard.
• Compare the agenda, quality and relevance
  of the editorial cartoons of PDI and MB.

8-7

Nagmuntik-muntikanan pang mabaligtad ang kapalaran sa naging desisyon ng SC sa people's initiative (o politician's initiative) sa resulta nitong 8-7. Sana man lang 13-2 o 12-3 ang kinalabasan. Maanghang man ang nilalaman ng desisyon laban sa PI, hindi pa rin dapat magsawalang bahala dahil halos kalahati (7) sa 15 mahistrado ay salikwat ang naging desisyon sa isyung ito.

Matatandaan na kalakhan sa kanila ay nanindigan laban sa mga mala-Hitler na hagupit ni "tuko."
PP1017 (11-3)
E.0. 464 (14-0)
CPR (13-0)

Batay sa numero, lahat ay pabor sa mamamayang Pilipino.

Sa pagtataya, mabuway pa rin ang sitwasyon.

Sa pagtataya, halos tabla ang labanan ng puti at itim sa ngayon.

Sa pagtataya, hindi magtatagumpay si "tuka" sa Cha-cha Express, the GMA way.

Final remark:

According to a senior faculty of the department, it does not matter if you have a set of professors with a variety of teaching styles and attributes (i.e., orthodox, positivist, slave driver, dart system, progressive, human sleeping pill, absentee, etc). What's important, he undescored, is how the students are able to manage

and respond to them.

Random Thoughts

Atienza has done his share in the beautification of some portions of the City of Manila. It's about time that somebody takes over to attend to the rising rate of street crimes and kotong cops.

Expectedly, 2007 election will be another showcase of Gloria's micromanagement in the area of cheating.

But this time, she'll be more careful.

Students should take a careful look at how the race for the CAS deanship will proceed. Observe the dialectics and be heard. Pulsuhan ninyo ang mga stakeholders sa CAS kung sino ang susuportahan nila.

You'll be able to identify a pattern/trend.

Election has just become a tool to legitimize the entry of business oligarchs, warlords, and

people like Richard Gomez in the political arena. May dapat kalugaran ang bawat tao.

Sabi-sabi

Sabi ng isang kaibigang copy editor, marami raw siyang kakilala na nagtutuloy sa abogasya (law studies) dahil lamang sa dalawang bagay. Una, mayaman. Ikalawa, tinatamad pang magtrabaho. Hindi dahil gusto talaga nila. Parang gusto kong maniwala.

* * *

Mas lalaganap na naman ang nakawan. Magpapasko na eh. Isang indikasyon na laganap na ito ay tayo na mismo ang biktima. Dati kasi ay kakilala lang ng kakilala natin o personal nating kakilala. Doble ingat. Ako man ay nanakawan na dati ng laptop. Pang-inis! Buti na lang ay may mga back-up files ako. Minsan kasi ay biktima tayo ng myth of invinsibility. Ito yung kaisipan na sa iba lamang mangyayari ang kamalasan at hindi kailanman sa atin. Yung tipong sila lamang ang magkakasakit ng TB, masusunugan ng bahay, masasagasaan sa Taft, magigripuhan (masasaksak) sa Quaipo, mawawalan ng simcard, aabutin ng LBM sa jeep, mananakawan ng halik sa masikip na mall, atbp.

* * *

Sabi sa akin na isang dating opisyal ng UP ay karaniwang nagtatagumpay daw ang mga dating naging student assistant pagkatapos ng kolehiyo.

* * *

Sabi ni Ellen Tordesillas ay hindi raw oposisyon si Pangilinan. Tila sinasabi pa nga niya na may pagka-oportunista ito. Malaki raw ang pananagutan niya dahil puro "noted!" lamang ang bukambibig ng senador nang iginigiit ng mga taga-oposisyon na itigil ang canvassing ng boto dahil sa malawakang dayaan sa eleksyon ng pagkapangulo. May selective amnesia nga yata tayo.

* * *

Kung magkaka-eleksyon ngayon, narito ang mga iboboto ko sa pagka-senador batay sa listahan inilabas ng SWS: M. Villar, L. Legarda, AP Cayetano, J. Arroyo, F. Escudero, G. Remulla, B. Fernando, J. Binay, S. Ocampo, C. Soliman (kaso 'di pa sigurado kung tatakbo nga ang mga ito)

Pero kailangan sigurong may mas masinsing background check para 'di ko panghinayangan ang boto.

* * *

Batay sa survey ng Transparency International (2005), 76% ng mga Pilipino ang naniniwala na lalala ang kaso ng korapsyon sa susunod na tatlong taon.

* * *

Sino kaya ang susunod na magiging bagong dean ng CAS? May kanya-kanya ng mga manok ang bawat grupo. May pagkakaiba kaya ang national politics at competition for deanship sa UP?

* * *

Ang Pasko ay para lamang sa mga bata, sabi ng isa kong kamag-anak. Parang totoo.

* * *

Sana maibalik ang dating sigla ng L.T. Dahil sa kakulangan ng badyet (at iba pang porma ng suporta???), napakatumal na ng pagtatanghal ng mga talakayan. Ang CAS ay hindi na CAS kung puro variety shows na lang ang itinatanghal sa LT. Nasaan na ang dating intellectual ferment sa CAS, tanong ng isang dati kong propesor. Sayang ang mga naiisip na magagandang proyekto ng mga orgs sa UP. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang dapat sisihin. Isa o dalawang tao lang ba o structural na ang kalikasan ng problema? O baka pareho?

Kumander Nunal

Kumander Nunal
ni Diwang Lutang

1st reading...2nd reading...3rd reading
Kung maipapasa ng lehislatura (na dinodomina ng mga power-elite), mahirap (at napakamapanganib) ipagkatiwala sa rehimeng Nunal ang pagpapatupad ng panukalang-batas laban sa terorismo. Asahan ang mas maraming kaso ng pamamaslang ng mga aktibista 'pag nagkataon.

Sinabi ni G. Renato Reyes ng Bayan na mas maraming mga sibilyan ang napaslang kaysa sa mga miyembro ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan sa pagpapatupad ng patakarang todo-giyera (all-out-war) ni Kumander Nunal simula nang maluklok siya sa poder noong 2001. Kontra-mamamayan, sa anumang pamantayan.

moral..amoral..immoral
Sabi ni Kumander Nunal ay magiging sandigan ng kanyang panunungkulan ang moralidad (unang SONA). Masasabi bang may konsepto siya ng moralidad nang parangalan niya sa kanyang nakaraang SONA (ika-anim) ang isang mamamatay-tao.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mas kasuklam-suklam para sa iba: ang isang utak-pulbura at himod-tumbong na mamamatay-tao o isang pinunong sibilyan na dumadakila at nagpupugay sa isang utak-pulbura at himod-tumbong na mamamatay-tao. Si Paltik mismo ang nagsabi sa isang panayam sa kanya ng ABC-5 na maaaring direkta o di-direktang may kinalaman siya sa mga kaso ng mga pagpaslang kung saan man siya italaga. Wika nga, "sa bibig nahuhuli ang isda."

Paltik...Saltik...Lintik
Lalong pupula ang hasang nina Paltik at ng kambal-tukong Gonzales (siRAULo at Banana Man) kung maipapasa ang nasabing panukalang-batas. Naalala ko tuloy ang pakikipagkwentuhan ko sa isang Gng. Gonzales sa isang programa sa CSWCD sa Diliman kamakailan. Napakamalas daw niya at kaapelyido pa niya ang dalawang kagalang-galang na opisyal.

Paltik raised to Nunal Power=Paltik. Paltik. Paltik. Paltik. Paltik...Paltik (pabrika ng paltik)...

Laganap ang pananakot at panggigipit sa mga sibilyang pinaghihinalaang kasapi ng mga armadong hukbong bayan at progresibong party-list. Sa anumang pamantayan, ito ay isang porma ng terorismo. Kung magpapatuloy ang pamumuno ni Kumander Nunal, dadami ang clone ni Paltik sa iba't ibang panig ng kapuluan. Lalaganap ang kagaw. Lalaganap ang peste. Lalaganap ang militarismo.

(PDI Editorial, 12 August 2006)

Imbitasyon*
ni Diwang Palaboy
(bilang pakikiisa sa mga Aeta**)


Tumikim ng malinamnam na bayawak na may pampalasang tanglad
Isaisantabi ang kinasanayan sa lungsod
Subukan ang bago
Anumang bago sa 'yong paningin, panlasa at pantikim

Makipagtalapapagan sa mga matubag (elders)
Maglakbay sa ilog na natabunan ng lahar
Makisangkot
Umakyat ng bundok

Manghuli ng kulasisi (uri ng ibon)
Manghuli ng paniki
Danasing yakapin ng hamog
Magkalakal ng gulay sa labas ng Pure Gold

Makipanayam
Mamulat at magmulat
Mag-organisa ng pulong-bayan
Iwaksi ang layaw ng katawan

Matulog sa bahay na yari sa kawaya't kugon
Uminom sa matamis na tubig sa batis
Mainitan ng araw (at mangitim)
Kabahan paminsan-minsan
At mangapa sa dilim

Magsaliksik
Unawain ang kahalagayan ng pagtitipid
Sumunod sa kaisahan
Magulat (at manggulat)

Lumubog sa kanayunan
Pagyamanin ang karanasan

Magpakumbaba sa masa
Matuto sa isa't isa

Salamat sa katanungan. Tama ka na may pagkakahalintulad ang dalawa pero hindi rin naman maitatanggi ang malaki at maraming pagkakaiba ni Manong magtataho at ng mga turbo-capitalists (maging ng mga subsistence o municipal fisherfolks vs. big commercial fishing magnates) sa usapin ng iba't iba subalit magkakaugnay na dahilan: (1) rate of exploitation of workers (2) accumulation of capital (3) impact to the environment (4) economic wastage (5) dehumanization; alienation (6) homogenization (7) health issues (8) cut-throat competition (9) over-efficiency and its negative impact (10) at iba pa. Tatalakayin natin ito sa D.S. 121 upang higit na mabigyang linaw. Iminumungkahi ko na basahin mo rin ang mga akda nina Prof. Renato Constantino, Dr. Rolando Tolentino at Dr. George Ritzer ukol sa synthetic culture, commodification at Mcdonaldization. Sa kasalukuyan, may artikulo akong isinusulat na may titulong Critique of the Capitalist Greed. Baka makatulong din itong babasasahin.

DS Practicum '06

Binabati ko ang mga masisikhay, matatatag at responsableng DevStud student-practicumers na lumubog, nakipamuhay at nakiisa sa malawak na masa sa mga lalawigan ng Rizal, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, Zambales at Pangasinan para sa taong 2006.

Inaasahan na mas magiging malalim, matalas, siyentipiko at kritikal ang inyong pag-aaral ng kasaysayan, lipunan at kulturang Pilipino mula sa karanasang ito.

Sinubok ng mahigit sa isang buwang gawaing ito ang inyong pisikal na katatagan (para sa mga may asthma); lakas ng loob; kakayahang magbadyet; angking talino, karisma (Ms. Jose, take note!) at husay sa pakikisama sa kapwa at pag-angkop sa pabago-bagong sitwasyon at sa inaasahan (at 'di-inaasahang) mga suliranin.

Sa kabuuan, ang practicum (tulad ng maraming bagay) ay higit sa inaasahan (anuman ang pagpapakahulugan natin dito).

Binabati ko partikular ang aking mga advisees:
-grupo ng Cavite (para sa inihanda nating tanghalian (tilapia at tortang talong na nalunod sa itlog); masayang barkadahan ninyo nina Buloy; pakikiisa sa Tagaytay 5; pakikiisa sa mga magsasaka ng kape at prutas sa probinsya ng Kabite; Chowking mula sa Cordero family; pagkuha sa cell# ni Maria Theresa Pangilinan (kaso 'di active e); pagbalanse sa sitwasyon; at marami pang iba)

-grupo ng Laguna (para sa komprehensibo at kritikal na pag-aaral ng mga "proyektong pangkaunlaran" ng pamahalaan at pribadong sektor sa probinsya ng Laguna; pagbalanse sa sitwasyon; pagsundo ni Jon Jamora at K2 sa akin sa may tabi ng riles; para sa pakiki-umpok sa akin noong Mayo 1 at iba pa)

-grupo ng Rizal (para sa napakasarap ng sinigang na sardinas; organisadong balangkas at pagpapadaloy ng mid-assessment; pabaong mga progressive readings, posters; pagsundo ni Sharlene sa kanto; pagsama ni Julian ng NNARA Youth-PUP para 'di ako maligaw sa pagbalik sa urban jungle; kagyat na pagtugon sa mga hinihingi kong updates-pinakaprompt si Ortiz)

-grupo ng Batangas (para sa mala-ACLE na final assessment partikular sa A-Z; student-centered at napakahusay na pagpapadaloy ng final assessment; pagiging bukas sa CSC; mahusay na visual-aids (na sinubok at pinanday sa PAMAG); pagsundo ni Ma'am Dionisio at Ma'am Jose; merienda-kapeng barako, sweets, piniritong saba)

Maraming salamat sa pakikiisa ng mga POs, komunidad at pamilya, kaguruan ng DSS, mga magulang, miyembro ng NNARA (sa mga giya at lalo na kay kuya Reggie) at mga mag-aaral.

Muli, taas kamao para sa inyong lahat
mula sa kapwa n'yo mag-aaral ng kasaysayan at lipunan,
diwang palaboy
