BANGKAY NI FORTUN
Get PDFSa gitna ng mga banta, matapang na nagagawa ni Dr. Raquel Fortun ang pagsisiwalat nang tunay na dahilan ng kamatayan ng mga ilang biktima ng “Giyera Kontra Droga” ni Rodrigo Duterte. Lumalantad sa kaniyang pagsisiyasat sa mga labí ang wala sa mga dokumentong inilalabas ng awtoridad. Siya lamang ang natatanging pathologist na nagsusuri sa mga ganitong kaso sa ating bansa, kaya naman hindi maikakailang nasa kaniya ang atensyon ng mga kapulisan sa tuwing darating na sa kaniyang mga kamay ang pagkakataong tingnan ang mga bankay.
Pagtatangka ang koleksyong ito sa mga danas ni Fortun, hindi na masasabing tagpo ng mga biktima, at ang mga dagdag na bigat sa bawat pagtuklas. Binubuo sa tula ang mga alaala ng nawala, gayundin, magsilbing ugong sa mga tinig na naikulong sa dibdib na api
“Living in an Alter World:” Pagsusuri sa Pagtatanghal ng Sarili at Pook-Pangkabuhayan ng mga Alter sa Mundo ng X (Dating Twitter) (“Living in an Alter World:” An Analysis of Self-Presentation and Livelihood Spaces of “Alter” Users on X (formerly Twitter)
Get PDFX (formerly Twitter) is among the top five most utilized social media services in the Philippines. It serves as one of the most prolific virtual communities for the LGBTQIA+ community (Statista, 2022). Unknown to many, the Alterverse community in X was created because of the need for many gay males to freely express themselves on a particular platform. Using content analysis with the intention of studying specific groups, such as the Alters of X as social media users, this paper probes the current state of the Alter world after COVID-19. It was discovered in the study that the alter world is not exclusive to gays because of the varied presence of heterosexual content creators, resulting in the design of alter accounts exhibiting a different feature. The study shows that self-expression is the primary reason homosexual content creators establish alter accounts, whereas providing service using oneself in exchange for financial gains is the primary aim of heterosexual alter content creators.
From this paper, it is evident that there is a presence of both homosexual and heterosexual content creators in the world of Alterverse in X. However, while both display similar actions, they differ in their goals. This result may be used in a deeper study on the lives of Alters.
Alternative Proof of Frullani\u27s Theorem and Applications in Evaluating Frullani Integrals
Get PDFThis article provides an alternative proof for the Frullani integral formula using an approach different from the existing one. This alternative proof gave us a novel method for evaluating certain improper integrals of Frullani type. Moreover, the alternative proof also obtained an exciting result relating the Frullani integral to a specific class of improper double integrals—the alternative proof started by stating and proving lemmas used as stepping stones to obtain the main proof. An essential condition was also imposed to obtain the desired result
Mungkahing Balangkas sa Pagsasanib ng Values tungo sa Pagpapahusay ng Pagtuturo sa Filipino 7
Get PDFThis study focuses on the core values developed in a seventhgrade literary texts, which paved the way to the suggestion of a framework for effective values integration in literary texts. Through content analysis, interviews, and surveys, it was discovered that four core values are being developed in texts: maka-Diyos (love for God), Makatao (love for fellow men), maka-kalikasan (love for nature), and maka-bansa (love for the country); these core values are well-presented, and three of them are sometimes cultivated together depending on the topic being discussed. Research revealed through the significant response of the teachers that its cultivation is essential in integrating the text; it has a greater effect; it has an enormous impact on the student’s life, and the use of different methods and putting the teacher himself in the situation are methods of how to improve the teaching of values. The researchers recommended adopting the framework to develop and strengthen the educational program for values integration in Filipino 7, as a major step toward advancing transformational education in the country
ANG PUWERSA NG DAHAS NG WAR ON DRUGS SA TULANG 08/17/17 NI ALLAN POPA: The Force of Violence in the War on Drugs in Allan Popa’s Poem 08/17/17
Get PDFAng “war on drugs” o kampanya laban sa ilegal na droga ang pangunahing programang isinulong mula sa panahon ng pangangampanya sa eleksiyon, hanggang sa pag-upo sa pagkapangulo ni Rodrigo Duterte mula 2016 hanggang 2022. Sa kanyang pangakong lilinisin ang bansa sa loob lamang ng tatlo hanggang anim na buwan, partikular na sa problema sa ilegal na droga at kriminalidad, nanganak ang mga ito ng mga usaping lagpas sa pagsugpo sa krimen. Sa ganitong konteksto nakalugar ang papel na magtutuon sa pagsusuri sa maiikling tula ng manunulat na si Allan Popa partikular na sa kanyang akdang 08/17/17. Gamit ang loob, ligid at lalim bilang lapit sa pagsusuri na ipinapanukala ng iskolar na si Galileo Zafra, tinatangka ng papel na masiyasat kung paanong sa pamamagitan ng maiikling anyo ng panitikan ay maaaring maunawaan at kritikal na masipat ang naratibo ng dahas ng war on drugs, at ang mga puwersang nagpapataw nito sa lipunang Pilipino. Aangkla din ang pagsusuri sa konsepto ng dating ni Bienvenido Lumbera upang magkaroon ng panimulang tanaw sa maaaring naabot ng tula ni Popa sa konteksto ng nagpapatuloy na dahas ng war on drugs, at sa mga punto ng kritika ng karahasan ni Walter Benjamin upang maisuma sa tula ang konsepto ng dahas at puwersang nagpapataw nito, at ang potensyal ng maiikling anyo ng panitikan bilang porma ng kritikang panlipunan. Isang panimulang pagtatangka ang papel na matalakay ang kritikal na gampanin ng panitikan sa pagbibigay-tinig sa kuwento ng mga kabataang tulad ni Kian delos Santos upang maipagpatuloy ang paglulunsad ng mga panawagan ng hustisya para sa mga biktima ng dahas at paggigiit sa karapatang pantao.
The “war on drugs,” or campaign against illegal drugs, was the central program promoted from the election campaign period through the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte from 2016 to 2022. Promising to resolve the nation’s problems with illegal drugs and criminality within just three to six months, this campaign sparked discussions that extended far beyond crime suppression. Within this context, this paper delves into an analysis of Allan Popa’s short poems, focusing particularly on his piece 08/17/17. Employing the analytical framework of loob, ligid, at lalim as proposed by scholar Galileo Zafra, the paper seeks to explore how short literary forms can be instrumental in understanding and critically examining the narrative of violence in the war on drugs and the societal forces enforcing it. The analysis also integrates Bienvenido Lumbera’s concept of dating, offering a preliminary lens on the extent of the poem’s impact amidst the persistent violence of the war on drugs. Furthermore, Walter Benjamin’s critique of violence is used to encapsulate the notions of force and power exercised through violence, emphasizing the potential of short literary forms as a medium of social critique. This paper represents a preliminary effort to underscore literature’s critical role in giving voice to stories of the youth, such as Kian delos Santos, and in sustaining the calls for justice for victims of violence while advocating human rights
Gramsci and Possibilities of Organic Intellectuals as Agents of Filipino Proletarian Hegemony in Post-Duterte’s Necrofascism
Get PDFThis paper explores the potential theoretical grounding of possible Gramscian intervention of organic intellectuals toward the construction of Filipino proletarian hegemony. The authors reflect on the relevance of the working classes in sustaining the world being inspired by Gramsci’s dedicated life to the proletarian cause. Further, the trajectory is the recent historical event of the global COVID-19 pandemic as well as localized in the Philippines under the necrofascist (stimulated by the scholar Achilles Mmbe’s term necropolitics) Duterte regime which we see as an event-basis to situate a reconsideration of the Gramscian theory that highlights the political involvement of the organic intellectuals. As the Philippines remains a backward agricultural sector and service-sector reliant economy in the service of the global capitalist mode of production, this study shows the abundant grounds for the development of Filipino proletarian hegemony in the Gramscian sense. This study takes on the continuing struggles from various social movements that arose since the pandemic as a basis for how a possible unitary hegemony can mobilize Filipinos toward proletarian emancipatory politics. Therefore, through the theory of Gramsci on organic intellectuals, the authors propose the necessity of an organic intellectual’s role of unifying the people and leading the proletarian hegemony that will be the basis of political emancipation. Now moving past the Duterte necrofascist regime, such proletarian hegemony can happen through people’s active creation of their class hegemony toward societal transformation. This paper closes with notes on forming a unitary bloc among classes and identities or using Mao Zedong’s signifier—people. Further, there should be a necessity in this people’s bloc what the theorists Laclau and Mouffee call hegemonic articulation
The Philosophical Thoughts of Vajiravudh: A Dialogical Analysis from the Perspective of Critical Filipino Philosophy
Get PDFVajiravudh (1881-1925), or King Rama VI of Siam, son of Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) and brother of Prajadhipok (King Rama VII), was a writer, nationalist, reformist, known as the Maha Thiraraja (philosopher king), and a creative genius among the Thai people. His context of a semi-colonial country that was pressured to embrace globalization and modernization still resonates with theconditions of some parts of Southeast Asia, such as the Philippines. This paper explored his philosophical ideas from the point of view of critical Filipino philosophy, a family of discourses that can be traced back to the musings of the late 19th century Filipino propagandists, with the intention of gleaning meaningful lessons for the contemporary Filipino people. Specifically, this paper looked into Vajiravudh’s thoughts on nationalism and identity, the Chinese and Muslim minorities, modernization and international relations, politics, gender, and family, as well as on his use of literature in philosophizing. This paper is significant in building up the literature on comparative Southeast Asian philosophy
Pantayong Pananaw Bilang Dulog sa Teolohiyang Pilipino
Get PDFColonial and elitist theology have been dominating the Philippine theological landscape for a very long time. This is a kind of theology that is Western and thus alienated from the reality of Philippine society, and written in English and therefore cannot be comprehended by the people. Because of this, a large part of theology as an academic discipline is still irrelevant to the Filipino context. One of the instruments that can serve as an antidote to this problem is the use of Pantayong Pananaw (From-Us-For- Us Perspective) as an approach. Through Pantayong Pananaw, Teolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino Theology) can enrich itself as a Filipinization movement in various aspects. Some of these aspects are the application of emic concepts, use of Filipino language, translation, and exposition of Filipino theologians’ thought. The development of these aspects is a great leap forward toward the construction of a Teolohiyang Pilipino that is truly relevant to Filipino society
