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.

om eo M. Gacadis a Filipino veteran photojournalist and a threetime Pulitzer Prize nominee whose works have appeared on the cover of various international publications including Time and Newsweek. He is the chief photographer for the Manila bureau of Agence France- Presse (AFP), the world’s oldest established news agency. Life and career
Romeo Gacad was born in the Philippines in 1959. His interest in photography began as a hobby when he was still in high school. After graduation, he took up Visual Communication at the UP College of Fine Arts. While in UP, Gacad pursued his early enthusiasm and served as a photographer for the Philippine Collegian, the university’s official student publication. Later, he worked as a freelancer for the Associated Press and Sigma photo agency. As a photographer, Gacad has covered some of the most momentous events in the Philippines during the 1980s such as the communist insurgencies, the assassination of former senator and opposition leader Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, and the recurring problem of Islamic separatists in Mindanao. In 1985, Gacad joined the Manila bureau of the French news agency Agence France-Press. He was delegated to cover three US wars: the 1991 Gulf War, 2001 war in Afghanistan, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. For forty-one days, he served as an embedded photographer in the US Army 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq where he witnessed the fall of Baghdad.

Aside from these events, Gacad also covered five consecutive years of the Olympic Games: Seoul in 1988, Barcelona in 1992, Atlanta in 1996, Sydney in 2000, and Athens in 2004.
Achievements
For years, Gacad was able to share real stories of politics, war, and disasters through the lens of his camera. For him, photojournalism is unlike doing portraits in a studio. “When covering stories about conflicts and natural disasters, part of my assignment is to produce strong portrait studies of affected people. The biggest challenge in doing this is that the photographer doesn’t have full control of the elements around him, from the main subject who can be moving about in the battle zone, the light, and the vast and intricate surroundings,” says Gacad.

ellie Bly’s article in 1887 on the abusiveness of health workers towards their wards at a New York mental institution started a trend that has evolved into a separate field of journalism that crossed lines from print to broadcast media. Investigative reports have exposed criminal activities and brought down presidents. While America has award-winning programs 60 Minutes and EXPOSÉ: America’s Investigative Reports, Philippine stations also have their own, which are locally famed for their distinctive styles and formats.

Imbestigador is an investigative television program which tackles a variety of topics - from extreme social issues including injustices and corruption of government officials, to hoaxes and gimmickry. It does surveillance and undercover work, two-party confrontations, interviews (often, the interviewee’s identity is kept secret for security purposes), and factual exposés. Now on its ninth year, Imbestigador airs for 1 hour every Saturday night on GMA-7. It is hosted by veteran radio and television anchor, Mike Enriquez. Aside from hard-hitting crimes, Imbestigador also features special and timely reports often disregarded or forgotten, but which have great impact on the Filipinos. It offers their very own action center which they call the “Sumbungan ng Bayan.” XXX: Exklusibong, Explosibong, Exposé is an investigative, current affairs television show that uncovers irregularities, anomalies and crimes. It covers a wide range of topics, from fake medical practices, to undercover drug dealership and government official corruption. As an informative public service show, XXX aims to keep people on track with the la-
test problems and issues that trouble the country. The program features entrapment and rescue operations, composed of a team of experts. Aired on ABS-CBN, the show is anchored by Julius Babao, Henry Omaga-Diaz, and Pinky Webb. Hosted by Ben Tulfo, Bitag is known for its aggressive approach to investigation, adopting the image of the Tulfo clan. The show was first aired on 14 September 2002 as a public service program for ABC-5, until it was moved permanently to IBC-13. Despite its limited exposure, Bitag also found a home at UNTV-37 where its episodes are replayed during weekdays, and simulcast on DZME Radyo Uno. The program, which usually comes out with three different cases, starts with an overview of the complaint which Ben Tulfo and his team exhaustively investigate. A surveillance is conducted and once the tips are at hand, an undercover operation and reconnaissance follow with assistance from law enforcers. Most of the tips come from the victim, an insider or an asset within a syndicate. With the help of a team of professional investigators, masters of weapons, and the local authorities, they operate in a planned manner.

h ese Filipino journalists have been witnesses to tumultuous events in the history of the Philippines as columnists, radio and TV newscasters, and commentators. They have shown great commitment to their work in pursuit of truth, accuracy, integrity, and fairness. In Philippine journalism, their names are the authorities- the trustees of fair reportage. Luis V. Teodoro writes political commentary for BusinessWorld. He was a teacher of journalism in the College of Mass Communications of the University of the Philippines, Diliman where he was Dean for 2 successive terms: 19941997 and 1997-2000.

Educational Broadcasting
B
atibot w asnot the first educational program to be broadcast in the Philippines. Rather, it was a Japanese radio segment aired during the Japanese occupation in World War II that taught Niponggo to listeners. Th e first Filipino-made programs did not have dancing tur tles or hairy monkeys, either. Th ey were on the radio, and they tackled agricultural practices and useful tips for homemakers.
When television became a fixture in Filipino homes, broadcasting companies decided to import American programs to educate and entertain children. Some were localized, and featured Filipino hosts and children. Some, on the other hand, were merely dubbed in Filipino. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the first Filipino-made educational program aired on TV.
Radio schools
Th e first Philippine instructional radio broadcast was exciting in a scary way: it was in 1943 during World War II, when the Japanese used radio to teach listeners basic Niponggo as part of their cultural integration plan. After the Japanese left the country, learning programs took a backseat to news and entertainment, and it wasn’t until 1952 that Pacifico Sundario produced a “school-on-the-air” for Iloilo Farmers on AM radio station DYRI. In 1958, the University of the Philippines, Diliman (UPD) decided to es-
tablish a university radio station called DZUP, which transmitted from the College of Engineering. Six years later, DZLB was born in the University of the Philippines, Los Baños (UPLB) making it the oldest existing rural, educational, non-commercial entity in the Philippines. It started broadcasting in 1962 for an “experimental agricultural extension tool,” but offi cially went on air in 1964.
Talking birds and dancing turtles
In the 1960s, ABS-CBN decided to syndicate “Romper Room,” an American children’s program. Th e station featured canned shows at first, but was soon able to produce a Filipinized version featuring a Filipino host and children. Children’s Television Workshop programs have been in Philippine programming since the 1970s. “Sesame Street” was franchised in the Philippines as “Kalye Sesame,” but the show’s Filipino dubbing was shoddy…

L
a Solidaridad was the name of the all-Filipino organization established by the illustrados of Barcelona on 13 December 1888, which sought to create Filipino representation in the Spanish Cortes. It was also the name of the offi cial publication of the organization.
Th e Organization
Galicano Apacible was the first president of the La Solidaridad. With him were Graciano Lopez-Jaena as vice-president, Mariano Ponce as treasurer, and Jose Rizal, who was then in London, as Honorary President. Apacible did not remain long as president since could not hold the bickering reformists together. Th e organization needed people like Rizal and Marcelo H. del Pilar who could reunite the sentiments of the Filipinos in Spain. La Solidaridad was viewed as a rival organization to Miguel Morayta’s Spanish Orient Lodge of Freemasonry. Later, the two organizations collaborated in their petition to the Minister of Colonies. Th eir petition was as follows: (1) to have representation in the Spanish Cortes; (2) to abolish the censorship of the
press; and (3) to prohibit the practice of deportation of citizens through administrative orders.
Th e Publication
On 15 February 1889, through Jaena, the La Solidaridad newspaper was created. It served as the principal organ of the Propaganda Movement for over five years, with its last issue released on 15 November 1895. To quote the editorial in the first issue of La Solidaridad: “Our aspirations are modest, very modest. Our program, aside from being simple, is clear: to combat reaction, to stop all retrogressive steps, to extol and adopt liberal ideas, to defend progress; in a word, to be a propagandist, above all, of democratic ideas in order to make these supreme in all nations here and across the seas...�

Killing Time
K
illin g Tim e in a Warm Place is Jose Y. Dalisay’s Palanca-winning novel about life during and after Martial Law. Following the experiences and recollections of a former activist, the novel allows for the juxtaposition of persons and contexts. It was first published in 1992 and won that year’s Manila Critics Circle National Book Award for Fiction. In 1993, it won the Palanca Awards Grand Prize for the Novel, and the UP President’s Award for Most Outstanding Publication. Synopsis
Th e novel has four parts which coincide with the four phases in the life of a man. Th e main character is Noel Ilustre Bula ong, a Visayan. Th e first part of the novel is dominated by images of his childhood in the quiet and simple province. Th e sense of innocence and simple happiness of being in tune with the rest of the world is prevalent until Noel’s first encounter with the still-on-the-rise Ferdinand Marcos. Th e second part of the novel moves to adolescence and the experiences of a student in the university. At this point, Noel loses his sense of order and innocence as he and his comrade-activists struggle against the tyranny and cruelty of President Ferdinand Marcos. Th is section paints a picture of how activist life was during Martial Law, describing the practices and routines— like secret huddles and singing of revolutionary songs with professors-- and
the landscape of UP that sheltered activists and served as stage for the Diliman Commune. Noel, as he reminisces about those times, reveals the future of his comrades as white-collar employees: contrast to their fiery young selves. Noel proceeds to tell the story of his imprisonment as a political detainee. Th e predominant image that follows is Noel as an adult already incorporated into the capitalistbureaucratic system he once fought; the sense of being lost to the cause after giving up his activism for a comfortable, ordinary life. At the end, however, Noel finds that in his heart, the struggle remains.
Notes
In one passage, Noel mentions how he would lose knowledge of his Tatay’s whereabouts but did not mind because Marcos was father to all Filipinos. Th is refers to Marcos’ frequent references in his speeches to his being the father of the country.

Sulyap sa Liwayway
A
ng Liw ayw ayay isang magasin na naglalaman ng mga maikling kuwento at sunud-sunod na mga nobela. Dahil dito, naging paraan ito para mapalago ang kamalayan ng mga Pilipino. Dinala nito ang panitikan sa mga kabahayan ng mga pamilyang Pilipino. Bago pa man ang Digmaang Pasipiko, ang araw ng pagrarasyon ng magasin na ito ay talaga namang inaabangan ng mga miyembro ng pamilya at nagiging dahilan rin ng kanilang pagtitipon upang mabasa lamang lalo na ang mga nobela.
Ang Lalaki sa Likod ng Liwayway
Si Ramon Roces ay sumikat sa kasaysayan ng komiks dito sa Pilipinas bago pa man si Tony Velasquez. Mula sa lahing Espanyol, si Ramon ay nagmula sa isang mayamang pamilya na kilala sa larangan ng paglilimbag. Ang kanyang amang si Alejandro Roces, Sr. ay kinilala naman bilang ama ng peryodismo sa Pilipinas.
Ang Photo News
Tulad ng sinasabi sa pangalan pa lamang, ang Photo News ay isang magasin na naglalaman ng mga balita, sanaysay, at mga tula. Ito ay inililimbag sa pagitan ng dalawang linggo, at sa halagang 15 sentimos kada isang kopya. Nahahati din ito sa tatlong wika: Ingles, Espanyol, at Tagalog, upang maunawaan ng mga mambabasa ng tatlong pangunahing wika sa Pilipinas. Dahil dito, naisip ng mga mamimili na kung
hindi naman nila mababasa ang iba pang bahagi ng magasin, aksaya lamang sa kanilang pera ang pagbabayad ng buo kung hindi rin lang naman nila nauunawaan ang kabuuan ng babasahin. Dahilan dito ay ipinatigil na ni Ramon ang paglilimbag ng magasin bago pa man ito umabot ng isang taon. Matapos ang tatlong buwang pag-iisip, tinawagan niyang muli si Severino Reyes para ulitin ang Photo News. Sa pangalawang pagkakataon, pinili niya ang wikang Tagalog upang siyang gamitin. Inilipat nila ang tanggapan nito sa Calero Street, hindi malayo sa gusali ng kanyang ama, ang Taliba-La Vanguardia-Tribune (TVT).
Ang Simula ng Liwayway
Pinalitan ni Severino ang pangalan patungong Liwayway, na nangangahulugan ng “panibagong umpisa.�

ng MagandangGabi, Bayan o kilala ring MGB ay isang halimbawa ng news magazine na programa sa Pilipinas. Ipinapalabas ito noon tuwing Sabado ng gabi sa ABS-CBN. Huli itong ipinalabas noong ika-31 ng Disyembre 2005. Ang paghinto ng pagpapalabas nito ay sinasabing may kinalaman sa problema sa pagitan ng nagbabalita rito na kasalukuyang Bise Presidente na si Noli de Castro at ng istasyon mismo. May kinalaman ito sa nais sanang pagtuligsa sa kasalukuyang administrasyon ng pamahalaan. Ngunit dahil bahagi siya nito, tumanggi si de Castro na gawin ito. Pinagmulan
Nagsimula noong ika-6 ng Agosto 1988, ang naging anchor nito ay si “Kabayan” Noli de Castro. Sa simula, habang ipinalapalabas ito sa telebisyon ay kasabay namang napakikinggan sa istasyon ng radyo na nasa ilalim rin ng pagmamayari ng ABS-CBN, ang DZMM. Nang tumakbo siya sa Senado, humalili ang kanyang anak na si Katherine “Kat-Kat” de Castro. Bukod pa sa kanya, ilang mga mamamahayag din ng istasyon ang kasamang pumalit kabilang na sina Erwin Tulfo at Henry Omaga Diaz.
Nilalaman
Katulong ni de Castro ang mga miyembro ng programa na siyang nagsusulat, nagsasaliksik, kumukuha ng mga mahahalagang eksena sa pamamagitan ng kamera, at mga patnugot. Ang ginagawa ng programang ito ay ang pagpapakita, pag-aanalisa, pagpapalabas ng mga paksa at isyung napapanahon - mga krimen, korupsyon at eskandalo; at ang dating nito sa bansa at sa mga mamamayan upang maipahayag ang tapang ng tao at pagkabayani, maging ang pagnanais na maitaas ang bansa.

E-turo invites everyone from educators, students and parents, to publishers, programmers, instructional designers, authors and public officials throughout the Philippines to contribute or freely access quality learning materials.
How can I use E-turo materials?
Anyone with access to the Internet can use the material found on E-turo to teach themselves or others. Whether it’s algebra, reading, or physics, they will be able to access the material online, print it, and/or save it to a CD. E-turo has three levels of content: (1) curricula and learning strategies; (2) lesson plans; (3) enrichment exercises. Users of Eturo can mix and match content according to their needs.
Why should I get involved with E-turo?
Because helping others to learn is simply the right thing to do. With your valuable input, E-turo can help foster the exchange of ideas, whether among students and parents, or publishers and educators, all in an interactive community that makes it fun and rewarding to make a difference. Your assistance can come in many important forms. E-turo needs your help to make it grow for the benefit of Filipino teachers and learners. Donate your resources. Actively participate in the community. Use the materials available. Provide feedback. And most importantly, spread the word.
