P-Noy's SONA

P-Noy's SONA will again fail to trace the rootcauses of the long history of Philippine underdevelopment.  It will instead, just like in the past, focus on issues that are symptomatic only of deeper social problems.  This, by any measure, is political and intellectual dishonesty.

On sound foreign investment

• Dr. Leonardo Estacio (Anthropology professor) = "Investing on green technologies with non-governmental organizations (NGO) and people's organizations (PO) to protect the environment and alleviate poverty."
  
• Prof. Fatima Castillo (Political Science professor) = "That which brings real resources, honest in dealings, fair labor practice, transfers environmentally sound technology and pays correct taxes."
  
• Prof. Roland Simbulan (Development Studies and Public Policy professor) = "A sound foreign investment policy allows only foreign investment in industries where we can really capture their technologies and use it for our own industries.  This is the strategic value of a sovereign foreign investment policy."
  
• Prof. Erle Frayne Argonza (Sociology professor) = "Foreign direct investment or FDI should take primacy over portfolio investments.  FDI should be in manufacturing, infrastructure, agriculture and transportation and communications that truly create values more than rentier enterprises like realty and leisure for instance."
  
• John Forbes (American Chamber of Commerce) = "One that creates jobs, transfers technology, and partners with the Filipino people in their search for a developed and inclusive economy."
  
• Mike Wooton (Manila Times columnist) = "There are few areas which are open to FDI which would be a sound foreign investment.  BPO looks fairly sound but many other opportunities are risk-based which when added to the difficulties of doing business here make them unattractive."
  
• Dr. Judy Taguiwalo (Community Development and Women Studies professor) = "Foreign investment in non-strategic areas of the economy, with clear technology transfer, regulated by government and only as supplement to economic self-reliance."
  
• Prof. Jeremy De Jesus (Poverty researcher and Social Research professor) = "Investments on industries that are open to genuine technology transfer, manufacture products with higher value-added, and implement pro-employee labor policies."
  
• Prof. Danilo Aragon (History professor) = "Investment in any industry of real mutual benefit."
  
• Dr. Edberto Villegas (Development Studies and Political Economy professor) = "Ang tamang pagnenegosyo ng mga dayuhan sa bansa ay yaong regulado sa usapin ng porsyento ng negosyo, pag-uwi ng tubo sa kanilang bansa (profit repatriation), paggamit ng hilaw na materyales at makataong pagturing sa kanilang manggagawa. Kailangan hanggang 40% ang pamumuhunan nila sa mga 'di vital and strategic industries kagaya ng langis, pagkain at gamot.  Kailangan bawal din sila sa public utilities kagaya ng kuryente, tubig at transport.  Ang mga public utilities ay kailangan sa kontrol ng gobyerno.  Bawal din sila sa sektor ng edukasyon, media, retail trade.  Bawal din sila sa pagbubungkal ng kayamanan ng bayan kagaya ng minahan at langis sa Palawan at Sulu Sea.  Maari sila sa mga non-vital and non-strategic industries kagaya ng paggawa ng sapatos o laruan.  Bawal ang kontraktwalisasyon at diskriminasyon sa mga manggagawa nila.  Ang pagtaas ng presyo ng kanilang produkto ay dapat kontrolado kagaya ng sinumang negosyante.  Sa banking system na ang 70% ay kailangan kontrolado ng gobyerno.  At bawal din silang magmay-ari ng lupa."

Tinimbang ka ngunit kulang (literal)

Laganap ang paggamit ng mga may dayang timbangan sa maraming palengke.  Kung ikukumpara ang bawat timbangan ng magkakatabi at nagsasabwatang mga tindahan sa pamilihan ay halos walang makikitang pagkakaiba sa timbang dahil pawang may mga daya. Kaso hindi lahat ng mga pamilihan ay may matatakbuhang timbangan ng bayan.  Kung mayroon man ay pawang heavy duty kaya hindi rumerehistro ng maayos at hindi rin mababasa ng malinaw ang mga magagaang timbang (hal. 1/4, 1/3).  Maliit na nga ang sahod ng mga anakdalita sa kabila ng nagmamahalang presyo ng mga bilihin ay madadaya pa.  Saklap!

Dapat ay maging mas maagap ang DTI katuwang ang mga lokal na pamahalaan sa pangunguna ng market administrator upang lansagin ang malawakang dayaan.  Dapat ding mas palakasin ang kilusan ng mga mamimili (consumer movement).  Dapat ding umiral ang ethical trade sa hanay ng mga negosyante.

Pagpupugay sa Batch '08

Baunin ninyo ang karunungan, kasanayan at karakter na sama-sama nating nilinang sa pamantasan ng bayan. Ang apat na taon sa UP ay hindi katapusan ng pag-aaral. Bagkus, ito ay simula lamang ng pagpukaw sa inyong kruryusidad (curiosity) na matuto, lumaya at maging makabuluhan. Ito ay dahil mas maigting ang dialektika ng buhay sa labas ng pamantasan.




Sa malawak na lipunan, kung saan kabilang ang ating pagtatrabahuhan, ay masusubok ang ating kakanyahan at pagkatao. Dito rin mailalapat ang mga praktikal na aplikasyon ng development theories, development economics, development research at political economy of development na ating inaral at sinuri. Tuwiran man o hindi, ang mga asignaturang ito ay instrumental sa inyong pagiging mahusay, kritikal at responsableng propesyunal at mamamayan.



Ang Development Studies ay pag-aaral ng lipunan at pagbabago. Kaya inaasahang patuloy tayong magbabasa, mag-uusisa, at makikisangkot para patuloy na magkoon ng kabuluhan ang kurso sa ating personal at kolektibong buhay.



Batch ’08, isang karangalan na makasama kayo sa loob ng apat na taon. Hangad ko ang inyong tagumpay!

Teaching

• I have a scheduled lecture series to a group of teachers this week about Education and Social Change (Tuesday), and Creative Approaches to Cooperative Learning (Wednesday). I hope it will turn out to be a dynamic learning experience for me and the participants.
  
• My teaching load this semester in UP covers six different but interrelated subjects (see previous post). And as part of my continued effort to discover unconventional learning approaches, I will re-institute the system of cross-reporting wherein students are assigned to report to another section or year level. The first attempt was carried out by the group of Padilla, Domagsang and Ciriaco while the second one was executed by the tandem of Bumanglang and Somera. Both groups covered financial literacy as subject matter.
  
• Through text and e-mail, I consulted several DSS alumni about the set of specific job skills that they want to be incorporated/reinforced in the training of students. Here's the partial list:

-effective presentation, business plan writing, 5S (Ms. Reburiano)
-tariff analysis, position paper writing (Ms. Caranto)
-informative but laymanized newsletter writing (Mr. Tenorio)
-mock interviews (Ms. Bejasa)
-professional business correspondence writing, voice workshop (Ms. Gagarin)
-international business ethics, financial literacy (Ms. E. Buenaventura)
-forum organizing (Ms. Tayag)
-incident report writing (Mr. Mateo)
-round table discussion (Ms. Morano)
-briefer writing (Ms. M. Flores)
-focus group discussion, facilitating public fora (Ms. Galang)

BA Development Studies Briefer

Development Studies defined
Development Studies is a multi-disciplinary field of study that includes an understanding of the economic, political, social, technological and cultural aspects of social change especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. It contributes to policy-making by seeking solutions and strategies to address problems and obstacles to genuine human development. These issues are examined within a historical, comparative and international perspective, taking into account the countries' specific circumstances, history and culture (Simbulan, 2009).

Subjects in the curriculum include general education, foundations in Social Sciences, Politics and Governance, Economics of Development, Philippine Political Economy, International Political Economy, Project Planning and Management, Human Resource Development, and Development Research.  These subjects are handled with the use of various learning strategies such as lecture-discussion, public fora, field work, and cultural presentation, among others.


Career opportunities
Graduates of the course can find employment in government agencies or in international and local organizations which are concerned with development.  Examples of the employment possibilities for graduates are development research (e.g. NEDA, PIDS, IBON), policy formulation (Congress), project planning and implementation (UN, ADB), foreign service (DFA, FSO, CFO), banking and finance, media, and managerial positions dealing with development and community work (KMP, LGUs).  Graduates can also proceed to a career in law or join the teaching profession.



Faculty
The Development Studies Program currently has five (5) full-time and six (6) part-time faculty members in its roster.

The faculty members of the degree program have multidisciplinary background which is instrumental in providing the students with a holistic perspective in theorizing and practicing development work. 

Prof. Roland Simbulan (Master in Public Administration - New York Univ)
Prof. Chester Arcilla (Doctor in Sociology - UP, ongoing)
Prof. Allan Joseph Mesina (Master in Environment Management and Development, Australia Nat'l Univ)
Prof. Ruth Shane Erive-Legaspi (Master in Business Administration - DLSU, ongoing)
Dr. Edberto Villegas (Doctor in Public Administration, UP)
Dr. Leothiny Clavel (Doctor in Philippine Studies, UP)
Prof. Silver Sevilla (Master in Economics units, UP)
Atty. Karol Sarah Baguilat (Bachelor of Laws, UST)
Atty. Mia Zorayda Wacnang (Jurisdoctor, Ateneo de Manila Univ)
Prof. Jeremy De Jesus (Master in Statistics - UP, ongoing)
Prof. John Ponsaran (Master in Public Management, UP)


PracticumThe Practicum Program is a 6-unit course which involves  6-weeks of community immersion and organizing in marginalized rural communities.  It draw its strength from the sustained and dynamic partnership with mass-based people's organization in various peasant, fisherfolk and indigenous people communities.  It is guided by the paradigm that the dialectical interaction between the academe and the communties is critical to pro-people, nationalist and scientific development work and scholarship.
