Kayamanan ba o kapangyarihan?

Sa isang talakayan, tinanong si Villar kung ano ang mas mahalaga para sa kanya: kayamanan ba o kapangyarihan? Ayon sa kanya, kung nanggaling sa hirap ang isang tao ay kanyang pipiliin ang kayamanan. Kung naabot na niya ang mga pangarap para sa sarili /pamilya at nais naman niyang makalutong sa iba ay malaki ang magagawa ng kapangyarihan o posisyon sa pamahalaan para ito'y magkaroon ng katuparan.

random thoughts

• Pagkilala kay Ienne Eguico para sa kanyang pagpasa sa UP College of Law.
• Sa mga komunidad ng mga katutubong Dumagat sa Rizal ipinamahagi ang mga donasyong binhi.
• Nagtulungan sina Yfur Fernandez at Ienne Eguico na mabuo ang "Praxis", isang AVP ukol sa Development Studies Program. Hiniling kong gawin nila itong komprehensibo para magamit sa taunang oryentasyon. Bilang katambal ng Praxis ay pinakikiusapan ko si Monic del Rosario na bumuo ng grupo na gagawa naman ng pop at maikling bersyon nito. Mas makabubuti na huwag nang ulitin ang anumang nabigyang diin sa unang AVP. Bumuo ng script na dapat munang maaprubahan.
  
• Napakaraming natatagong talento ang mga mag-aaral sa UP Manila subalit nagkukulang ang administrasyon, kaguruan at minsan maging ang mga organisasyon upang diskubrehin at linangin ang mga ito. Dapat ay pangunahan ito ng CAS. Mahalagang lumikha ng isang kondisyon para ang mga ito'y maipamalas at mapaunlad.

Marami sanang maaaring simulan ng tama

Pero sa paghahangad ni GMA maluklok sa Mababang Kapulungan
na unang hakbang n'ya sa pagpapanaig
sa kapangyarihan ay binigo n'ya ito.
Dapat ay siya ang biguin natin"

Binhing handog para sa kabuhayan at pampulitikang pakikibaka

Nitong nakaraang Biyernes namin pormal na ibinahagi sa mga Dumagat ang ating donasyong binhi.

Ayon sa kanilang kinatawan, malaki ang maitutulong nito sa kanila sa dalawang paraan.

Una ay pangkabuhayan para madagdagan ang kanilang pagkain at pagkakakitaan.

Ikalawa ay ang malaking ambag ito sa kanilang pampulitikang pakikibaka. Ayon sa kanila, sa pamamagitan ng mga binhi ay mas magiging produktibo ang kanilang mga lupain at bunga nito'y mas sisikhay ang kanilang paninindigang biguin ang pagpapalayas sa kanila ng sabwatang gobyerno at pribadong korporasyon mula sa kanilang lupaing ninuno upang isulong ang kontra-mamamayang pagtatayo ng dambuhalang dam.

Sana naging estudyante n'ya rin ako.

Isang propesora sa ibang pamantasan ang may di-tradisyunal na paraan ng pagtuturo ng Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Pagpapabasa ng dyaryo (Inquirer partikular) sa mga mag-aaral ang kanyang naiibang paraan ng pagtuturo. Ipinauunawa niya ang mga napapanahong isyung panlipunan at kanila namang iniuugnay at sinusuri ang mga ito sa konteksto ng nakaraan. Sa pananaw ko'y mas epektibo at praktikal ito lalo na kung hindi naman BA History ang kurso ng kanyang mga mag-aaral. Parang kumuha sila ng History I at PolSci 14 ng sabay. Lupeeeeet!

Inaanyayahan ko ang mga dati at kasalukuyan kong mag-aaral sa DevStud na magmungkahi ng mga karagdagang paksa para sa mga susunod na isusulat na haiku ng aking mga klase. Ang mga paksang ito ay dapat may kaugnayan sa politika, ekonomya, kultura, kaunlaran, kalikasan at lipunan. Isulat ang mga ito sa 1/8 piraso ng papel at isumite sa Martes (Peb 9) o Miyerkules (Peb 10) sa susunod na linggo. Maaari ring magmungkahi ang mga nagtapos na sa kurso sa pamamagitan ng text o e-mail. Salamat.

Mamamahagi ako ng papel na pagsusulatan ninyo ng hatol. Mensahe (50%) at istilo (50%) ang magiging batayan ng pagpili ng pinakamahusay na haiku. Ang mga papel na ito ay maaari ninyong ibalik sa akin ng personal, ilagay sa aking pigeon hole sa loob ng DSS, o iabot sa sinumang tumatao sa Bookay-Bookay booth. Maraming salamat sa inyong kooperasyon.

Prof. Doti Abaya on hegemony

Prof. Abaya defines hegemony as domination with victim's consent. The victimizer (ruling class) aside from using force may also utilize culture as a tool where there is no force or coercion involved. The victim (ruled class), on the other hand, thinks s/he is not oppressed and exploited.

They’re sitting at the nearest public library.
Buying books you’ll likely only read once is a money-waster.

random thoughts

• Puro awiting 'May Bukas Pa' ang kinakanta sa videoke ngayon. Epekto ito ng popular na teleserye sa Dos at marahil para paghugutan din ng inspirasyon para harapin ang ligalig ng 2010.
• Agaw-atensyon ang isang manininda sa palengke dahil murang-mura lang daw ang benta niya sa mga bagong n'yang aning gulay at prutas mula sa Facebook.
  
• Halos hindi ako makapaniwalang may sangay na sa loob mismo ng mall ang isang kolehiyo. Kakaiba na talaga mag-isip ang mga kapitalista-edukador.
  
• Traydor ang teknolohiya lalo na sa pagkakataong 'di mo inaasahan. Babala ito sa mga nagtetesis. Marami nang buhay ang nasira : )
  
• Tama si Joseph Stiglitz. Dapat magkaroon ng 'Green GNP' upang maisama ang masamang epekto ng mga gawaing pang-ekonomya sa kalikasan at para sa gayo'y mas maging makatotohanan ang pagsukat sa paglago o pagka-atrasado ng ekonomya.

Sipi mula sa panayam ni Yfur Fernandez kay Arnold Padilla ukol sa Alternatibong Pamamahayag

1. Tanong: Paano mapoprotektahan ng mga progresibong manunulat ang kanilang sarili mula sa iba't ibang porma ng pandarahas ng estado?
   
   Sagot: Collective action of journalists/ writers. Ang mga batas na umiiral sa kasalukuyan ay hindi nakapagbibigay ng garantya sa seguridad ng mga progresibong manunulat at mamamahayag. Balewala ang lahat ng ito kung walang direktang political action.
   
   
   
2. Tanong: Paano dapat ituring ang mga official government data bilang subject of analysis para maging ganap ang pagiging alternatibong mamamahayag?
   
   Sagot: May kapasidad ang mga alternatibong mamamahayag na: (a) himayin ang datos upang maging tunay na depiksyon ng pangyayari. (b) Ikonteksto ang mga datos mula sa pamahalaan ayon sa isinusulat. Government data are used not just for policy making but for propaganda. These are used to justify the whole regime.

Prof. Simbulan on toxic legacy

"Toxic legacy refers to the environmental destruction and ruin of a host country caused by the deadly hazardous and toxic waste as a consequence of foreign military presence and activities. Foreign military presence secures the colonial or neocolonial outpost of a hegemonic foreign power to protect its economic and political interests and domination." - RGS 11-27-09
