NOTESFROMTEAMWIKIPILIPINAS WikiPilipinas is about Filipinos, for Filipinos, and by Filipinos. The spirit of revolution is action, and it was the action of the millions of Filipinos who went to EDSA in February 1986 demanding to be heard, armed with nothing but prayers, yellow shirts, and the courage to change things together, which ignited the People Power Revolution. The spirit of EDSA lives as long as Filipinos continue to come together, believing in the idea of a world that is common to all, revolutionizing our society even as we keep on building it. WikiPilipinas provides us with a place where our histories and memories can be represented, where we tell our stories and document our society through collaborating with fellow Filipinos all over the world. Memory is the basis of a nation’s survival, and the store of its knowledge is the true measure of its worth. Animated with the spirit of action, empowered by WikiPilipinas, the revolution comes alive.

Offices-In-Charge BAHAY KUBO The Bahay Kubo is a form of shelter most identified with the Philippines. Its name is said to have originated from the Spanish word “cubo,” which means “cube”, because of the bahay kubo’s rectangular cubic shape. Made of indigenous building materials like bamboo and nipa, this type of architecture dating from pre-Hispanic times was constructed to adapt to the tropical climate of the Philippines and to be easily repaired and rebuilt once damaged by typhoons, floods, or earthquakes that frequent the country.
Part of the broad agenda for reforms in the country’s education system outlined by the Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) in 1992 resulted in the trifocalization of the education sector, the oversight and supervision of which has been allocated among three governing bodies: the Department of Education (DepEd) for basic education, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for tertiary and graduate education, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for technical-vocational and middle level education. The Department of Education (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Edukasyon), known as DepEd, formerly the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (Kagawaran ng Edukasyon, Kultura at Palakasan) or DECS, is the executive department of the Philippine government which is charged with the management and upkeep of the Philippine educational system. It is the chief formulator of Philippine educational policy and is responsible for the Philippine primary and secondary school system. The Commission on Higher Education (Komisyon sa Mas Mataas na Edukasyon), known by its acronym CHED, is responsible for the oversight and supervision of both public and private higher education institutions as well as degree-granting programs in all tertiary educational institutions in the Philippines. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, known by its acronym TESDA, is the government agency tasked to manage and supervise technical education and skills development in the Philippines, and is in charge of managing and overseeing technical and vocational schools...

Buhay Estudyante Summer is over— time to put your summer dresses and board shorts back in your closet and slip on your school uniform for another 10 months. To rev you up for school, below are Pinoy school-themed movie flicks that will definitely help you shape up and get your school mood back. Bagets - A coming-of-age movie about the joys and pains that adolescents face growing up. The story revolves around the escapades of five young boys, each representing a unique Filipino student persona. Though they come from varying backgrounds, their differences never become an issue because their friendship has a strong foundation. Throughout the movie, they all try to finish their senior high school year after getting kicked out of their previous school. As they face these challenges, they make even more discoveries on life, love, and friendship. First Day High- The film is about five college freshmen from FDH University. The group, composed of nice guy Nathan (played by Jason Abalos), brainy Indi (Kim Chiu), baller MJ2 (Gerald Anderson), fashionista Pre (Maja Salvador), and rebel Gael (Geoff Eigenmann), are initially suspected by the school to be behind the contamination of the university gym’s water supply. As the five try to solve the mystery behind it, they unravel deeper issues like college life’s complexities, peer pressure, and personal struggles...
BARONG TAGALOG The Barong Tagalog is an embroidered upper garment. Properly referred to as “baro ng Tagalog” (in English: “dress of the Tagalog”), this costume has a rich cultural tradition spanning more than four centuries as it evolved to redefine its appearance and purpose. The barong, as it is commonly called nowadays, gained popularity and respect in the 1950s when President Ramon Magsaysay chose to wear this garment to all his official and personal affairs, including his inauguration as President. Another President, Ferdinand E. Marcos, who in Batac Museum in Ilocos Norte, exhibited his very first Barong Tagalog which he had obtained in 1949, issued a decree proclaiming the “Barong Tagalog Week” from June 5 to June 11, and officially designating the barong as the “national costume” of Filipino men in 1975.

Scholar’s Tools BARO’T SAYA The Baro’t Saya is a traditional Filipino blouse and skirt ensemble which originated in Spanish times. Throughout the Spanish colonial period, this was the everyday attire of most Philippine women. The baro or blouse is short-sleeved and collarless. It is usually made of sheer fabrics and at times is embroidered. This is in contrast to the saya or skirt, which is made of striped cotton or sinamay. A tapis or wraparound overskirt would usually be added, and an alampay (cape) or panuelo (scarf) would be worn with the ensemble to cover the bosom.
The Mongol, a yellow wood-clinched pencil distributed by Amalgamated Specialties Corporation, is the most popular brand name of pencil in the Philippines, especially among students. Available in dozens and by the gross box, it is classified into three grade levels determined by the thickness and lead content of the pencil with number 1 as the softest and number 3 as the thickest. It is a useful tool in art and school projects and is the best-selling brand of pencil in the country. Today, the brand name Mongol has become a household name among Filipinos. The Panda 757-RP, or simply Panda, is among the more popular brand names of ballpoint pens in the Philippines. Known for its cheap price, light weight and very simple design, this clear-bodied ballpen comes in three different ink colors -- blue, black and red -- that can easily be distinguished from the color of its cap. It is the brand used by most students because it produces a thick line when used for writing and can be consumed even to the last drop of ink....

School on Air SAMPAGUITA
Sineskwela is an award-winning television program in the Philippines, alternatively known as the “School on Air.” It is produced by ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc., with the Science Education Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Department of Education (DepEd) extending academic and technical support. Sineskwela is aired locally on the ABS-CBN channel and internationally on the The Filipino Channel.
Jasminum sambac (syn. Nyctanthes sambac Linn., Jasminum blancoi Hassk.), commonly known as the “Sampaguita” or “Arabian jasmine,” is a shrub cultivated throughout the Philippines. Its small, white, sweet-smelling blossom is the country’s national flower. The name “sampaguita” is believed to have come from the Filipino words “sumpa kita,” meaning “I promise you.” In olden days, sampaguita garlands were exchanged by young couples as a pledge of their love, not unlike the exchange of rings in wedding ceremonies.
Concept and Format Sineskwela presents and explains otherwise complicated principles and concepts of science and technology through dramatization and visual effects. It also demonstrates the practical application of science on familiar life situations, thereby allowing the information to be easily understood and appreciated by its young viewers. Sineskwela is a curriculum-based show and caters to public elementary students from Grade 2 to 6. The DepEd mandates that it be shown in the science class of each grade level at least once a week. Five episodes -- one for each of the five grade levels -- are shown every week. Each episode presents a different problem or situation that provides the characters a chance to explore the world of science. The characters gather information not just through library research but also through laboratory experiments, field investigations, on-the-scene reporting, and use of visual effects. An example would be the show’s characters, Anatom and Agatom, shrinking to the size of molecules and entering biological organisms such as a flower or a dog. On these mini-adventures, they encounter several personifications of bacteria, pollen, and other possible objects who explain the related scientific theories and phenomena...

6 HISTORY
BANGUS Chanos chanos is the scientific name of bangus, the Philippine national fish. Known in English as milkfish, it is the lone living species in the family of Chanidae and is most closely related to carps and catfishes. This silvery, bony, but delicious fish is an important commodity in the Philippines. Many milkfish products such as daing na bangus (marinated milkfish), rellenong bangus (stuffed milkfish), lumpiang bangus (bangus rolls), and tinapang bangus (smoked milkfish) are consumed by Filipinos, as well as exported to other countries. Many Filipino dishes can be prepared using this fish, including the Filipino favorites sinigang na bangus and paksiw na bangus.
First Iskolar ng Bayan The Pensionado Act of 1903 (or Act 854) refers to the law which allowed qualified Filipino students to study in the United States. Passed on August 26, 1903 by Governor General William Howard Taft’s government through the Philippine Commission, this act provided funds for such students, called pensionados, to acquire their college degrees at American schools. The Pensionados During the first decade of the American occupation, most of the pensionados were women from the elite class (the same class who had access to better education in the late Spanish period). However, under the American educational system, educational opportunities in the Philippines became more democratic, making pensionados out of promising Filipinos who were not necessarily wealthy. These students were called pensionados since they were scholars studying at the expense of the colonial government. They were made to take up degrees in US Government and Administration so that upon their return to the Philippines, they would administer the government in the same fashion...

PEOPLE&SOCIETY 7
Teacher of the Year JOSE RIZAL
Feliciano “Chito” Jaime Atienza is a Filipino educator recognized by the New York Times as the 2008 ESOL Teacher of the Year for his remarkable dedication and genuine passion for teaching.
Jose Rizal (full name: José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda) (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896), was a Filipino nationalist and the most prominent advocate of reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. Officially recognized as the national hero of the Philippines, Rizal was widely considered as one of the greatest individuals the Malay race had produced, earning him the description “Pride of the Malay Race”. Rizal, a universal genius, was a medical practitioner, a scientist, a writer, a poet, a essayist, an inventor, a novelist, and a linguist. Rizal’s 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution. The anniversary of his death is commemorated as a holiday in the country.
Early Life and Career Feliciano Jaime Atienza used to live in Sta. Cruz, Manila, before he migrated to the United States in 1985. He gained his college degree from De La Salle University in Manila. His early stints with different Catholic schools in Manila gave him enough initial experience to hone his teaching skills. While he was teaching in Adamson University, he discovered a special interest in teaching languages to his foreign born students from Middle Eastern countries. Later, he ventured further in this profession through the Philippine Refugee Processing Center where he formally taught under the English as a Second Language (ESL) program. As an educator, Chito Atienza prescribes a “can-do” attitude and time tested skills. His classroom is known for his healing and empowering concept of “skinship” and trust...

10 RELIGION&BELIEFS
Vocation Schools JUAN DE LA CRUZ “Juan de la Cruz” is the generic name used to symbolically represent the common Filipino, an icon equivalent to America’s “Uncle Sam,” and Britain’s “John Bull”. Juan is depicted as a naïve-looking man wearing a camisa or Barong Tagalog, long trousers, tsinelas, and his trademark headgear, the salakot. The name “Juan de la Cruz” was first used to refer to Filipinos in general by Scottish publisher R. McCulloch-Dick of The Philippines’ Free Press, who noticed the name’s ubiquity in court dockets and police blotters. Because of this, McCulloch-Dick wrote and published small verses in The Philippines’ Free Press about a character called Juan de la Cruz, who was often depicted narrating the petty crimes he had committed. Slowly, McCulloch-Dick enlarged his conception of Juan until he settled on a fixed template—Juan de la Cruz as a typical Filipino who is friendly, humble, self-respecting and hardworking.
Seminaries and theological schools are specialized livein education institutions that train future ministers and priests. There are a number of these schools that accommodate those inclined to spiritual activities and endeavors. In the Philippines, most seminaries are Catholic seminaries mainly because a large portion of the country’s population are Catholics. San Carlos Major Seminary is considered as the official seminary of the Archdiocese of Manila. It also accepts seminarians from other dioceses. Located at San Carlos Pastoral Formation Complex in Guadalupe, Makati City, San Carlos Seminary has three departments: the Juniorate Department composed of two year levels (Formation Year and Philosophy); Philosophy which is composed of three year levels (Philosophy 2,3, and 4); and Theology composed of five year levels (Theology 1, 2, PSIY, 3 and 4). Founded in 1964, the Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) is a cooperative ministry between the Assemblies of God National Churches of Asia and the Pacific Oceania and the Assemblies of God World Mission in USA. Located in Baguio City, this advanced school of theology aims to advance leadership training and equip Pentecostal and charismatic ministers for the Asia Pacific region and to serve as a resource center for assisting these churches to fulfill their Biblical mandate...

Varsity Association HARIBON
The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) is one of the leading amateur sports associations in the Philippines. The association is composed of eight member universities, namely: Adamson University (AdU), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), De La Salle University (DLSU), Far Eastern University (FEU), National University (NU), University of the East (UE), University of the Philippines (UP), and University of Santo Tomas (UST). The eight universities vie annually for championships in 15 sporting events, the most popular of which are the basketball and cheerdance competitions. Most of the sports have both Men’s and Women’s divisions, with the exception of baseball (in which only men participate) and softball (which is only for women). The UAAP also added a Juniors division composed of associated high schools of the participating universities. At the end of every season, the biggest award of all--the UAAP overall championship--is given to the school attaining the most success across the fifteen UAAP events.
The Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), a bird of prey or raptor belonging to the family Accipitridae, is the national bird of the Philippines. It is one of the rarest, largest, and most powerful birds in the world. It was first called the Monkey-eating Eagle upon discovery in 1896, based on reports from natives saying that it preyed only on monkeys, hence the joining of Pithecus (ape or monkey) and phagus (eater of). However, results of studies on feeding ecology later revealed that these eagles also preyed on other animals such as colugo, civets, large snakes, monitor lizards, and even large birds like hornbills. Because of this and the fact that the same name applied to the African Crowned Hawkeagle and the South American Harpy Eagle, a presidential proclamation was passed to change its name to Philippine Eagle. It is also known as Haribon or Haring Ibon, meaning “Bird King”.
The Beginning In 1942, UP Physical Education Director Dr. Regino Ylanan, feeling the need to regulate athletic policies among college institutions, sent out invitations to private schools in Manila urging them to join an ‘athletic association’. To his delight, schools like the Ateneo, UST, NU, De La Salle College, University of Manila, Institute of Accounts (now the Far Eastern University), and San Beda College sent positive responses to his invitation. After convening, the universities agreed to adopt a constitution and by-laws and went on to be called the National Collegiate Athletics Association...

Ito ay ginagamit sa pagdadala ng mga produkto patungo sa pamilihang-bayan at isa ring magandang pinagkukunan ng gatas at karne. Anuwang ang katawagan nito sa lumang Tagalog at Nuwang naman sa mga Ilokano. Sa kasalukuyan, may 3.2 milyong kalabaw na matatagpuan sa Pilipinas.
Ang Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) ay kasapi ng pandaigdigang kilusang nagbibigay ng di-pormal na edukasyong batay sa halagahang espiritwal at mithiing mag-alay ng serbisyo sa mga batang babae na may edad na 4-21.

CARIÑOSA Ang Cariñosa (o Karinyosa) ay isang magiliw na sayaw ng magkaparehang babae at lalake na animo’y nasa aktong nagliligawan. Taong 1992 nang palitan nito ang Tinikling bilang pambansang sayaw ng Pilipinas. Ang salitang Cariñosa ay nangangahulugang mapagmahal at mapag-aruga na hango sa pamamaraan ng pag-indak at pag-indayog ng mga mananayaw nito sa saliw ng mabining awitin. Sa cariñosa, ang babaeng mananayaw ay may tangan na panyo o pamaypay na panaka-naka niyang ipinangkukubli sa kaniyang mukha habang mayuming umiindak. Ang lalakeng mananayaw naman ay sumasayaw sa tila nang-aamong pamamaraan habang nakatingin sa mga mata ng kaparehang babae. Sa ganitong mga galaw ay makikita na ang mga mananayaw ay tila nagpapakita ng pagsinta sa isa’t isa.

LUPANG HINIRANG
Salamat Po, Ma’am!
Ang Lupang Hinirang o “Marcha Nacional Filipina”, na siyang naging Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas, ay isang marcha na binuo ni Julian Felipe at unang pinatugtog sa Araw ng Kalayaan sa Kawit, Cavite noong 12 Hunyo 1898. Matapos ang isang taon, ang tula na “Filipinas, Letra Para La Marcha Nacional” na isinulat ni Jose Palma ay ang naging titik ng pambansang awit. Ang komposisyon, na unang naisulat sa salitang Espanyol, ay inilathala noong 3 Setyembre 1899 sa La Independencia, isang pahayagan ng rebolusyon.
Ang Pagsasaliksik Para sa Namumukod-tanging Guro ay itinatag ng Metrobank Foundation noong 1985. Ito ay naglalayong magbigay ng papuri sa mga guro na nag-alay ng kanilang buhay at dedikasyon upang maging gabay sa magandang bukas ng kanilang magaaral. Ang pagmamahal at pagkalinga sa mga batang kanilang tinuturuan ay hindi lamang nagtatapos sa loob ng silid-aralan manapa’y humahangga sa mas malalim na kahulugan niyon. Ang mga nagsipagwagi noong nakaraang taon sa naturang parangal ay nagtatag ng Network of Outstanding Teachers and Educators (NOTED) na naging aktibo sa pagtutulung-tulong na maiangat ang kalidad ng propesyunalismo sa pagtuturo. Layunin ng programa ang mithiing isulong ang kultura ng kahusayan sa edukasyon sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay-pitagan sa pinakamagagaling na tagapagturo at ng iba pang kasapi sa komunidad. Mahigit halos sa dalawandaang huwarang mga guro mula sa elementarya, mataas na paaralan at guro sa kolehiyo na nanggaling mula sa ibat ibang bahagi ng bansa ang nagkamit na ng parangal simula nang inilunsad ang programa noong 1985...

n cooperation with the National Historical Institute (NHI), Filipiniana.net has launched The Complete Jose Rizal, a project aimed at recuperating the memory and humanity of the Philippine national hero José Rizal in all his defects and greatness.

For the first time a complete bibliography will be made available on the Internet where all of Rizal’s multifarious works can be sorted, searched, and cross-referenced. In addition, full-text versions in the original Spanish, as well as English and Tagalog translations, courtesy of the NHI, will be made available through the years, allowing netizens to copy, paste, and remix according to their needs.

Rizaliana Historical Background In 1956 Republic Act 1425, known as the Rizal Bill, mandated the inclusion of Rizal’s life and works in school curricula, contributing to a surfeit of Rizaliana, from primers, anthologies, and juvenile biographies to essayistic anthologies and memoirs. Thousands of Rizal-themed books burst forth from publishers, contributing to an intellectual glut which caused Filipinos to feel a false sense of security and satisfaction in having explored just about everything that is to be known about the hero. Starting with the dizzying range of reading materials that the Department of Education mandated in public schools from elementary school to college, Rizalmania crested with the tidal wave of hundreds of Rizal publications, from translations into English and vernacular languages, international conference proceedings, to monographs and ephemera completed by the Jose Rizal National Centennial Commission (JRNCC) in 1961...
