ABOUT THE UP PRESS The University of the Philippines Press, founded in 1965, is the premiere academic publishing house in the country. It has published around 900 books, hewing only to the strictest editorial standards in its selection of titles—literary and creative works, anthologies and studies in Philippine studies, and research in the various academic disciplines. UP Press implements the highest academic standards in its selection of new titles. Other than this task, the Press endeavors to reprint “classics” that remain relevant or of interest to today’s readers. Since the middle of 2011, the Press has also started publishing electronic books, in partnership with Flipside Digital Content. UP Press is also actively seeking partnerships with foreign academic presses in the reprinting of excellent books on Philippine studies.

Masculinity, Media, and Their Publics in the Philippines undertakes critical investigations into the forms by which masculinity is imagined, intuited, and instrumentalized in the contemporary postcolonial space of the Philippines. These investigations are primarily foregrounded upon the analysis and reflection of the political economy in Philippine visual culture through which these forms of masculinity are manifested, particularly through mass media practice. Subjects of Dr. Reuben Ramas Cañete’s essays in the book include Post-EDSA homoerotic cinema, outright pornography, Bench billboard ads, Manny Pacquiao, and the UP Oblation. The author teaches at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Rina Angela Corpus has compiled essays written from back when she was a graduate student in the 1990s which deal with questions in reading dance, art, and gender. The collection covers some of the most significant Philippine women choreographers. The essays explore and investigate the entanglements of aesthetics, sexual politics, and other realities that impact the field. Quoting Dr. Ann Dilis of the University of North Carolina: “(Corpus’s) subjects are made vivid through evocative description and attention to individual perspective. Her intersectional analyses explore questions of representation and agency in ways specific to the communities and artists she studies.” The author teaches Art Studies at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Maria L.M. Fres-Felix, author of Boy in the Platinum Palace and Other Stories, is described by National Artist F. Sionil Jose as one of the few writers today who “knows how to write a story.” He goes on to describe her as a consummate craftsman, possessing both style and originality. Jose praises her “skillful use of choice verbs rather than adverbs and adjectives,” as well as her ability to incorporate tiny details which “contribute to the plausibility of the story.” This collection of short stories, the author’s second with UP Press, covers a range of settings, from domiciles, to corporate offices, to caregiving institutions. It does not limit itself to the present period but makes a foray into the country’s colonial past. The author is an award-winning fictionist and a former banker. Rhetorical questions implode throughout Luis H. Francia’s Tattered Boat … Given his global concerns and universal queries, the sea-tossing is still the inquisition of a planet fraught with false gods. Answers lead to a revelation of neither-ness—as celestial mortal. And it spurs on the wanderer through islands rife with idiot loves and slaughtered angels … Occasionally the poet as seer conjures the ordinary: a hand, a foot, a tree, a kiss, an encounter with a dentist. ’Tis all fair game for the troubadour who also surveys the ghosts of the younger self, survives after calibrating the very air, and reaches shore after shore.—Krip Yuson, Poet, Palanca Hall of Fame

Poisonostalgia is a case against complacency. Here is a collection that manifests these times’ needed dexterity in both lyric and narrative poetry. It pokes fun where it must, pulls multicolored rabbits from a sequined hat. Here the poet tackles myriad concerns of modern urban living, in both sparse and complex diction, in experimentations with form. From ruminations on ruin and passing to declarations of distrust and disgust with the fake and the artificial, Gulle’s new book of poems is unabashed and undaunted. “Quietly as quite: / if no wing / nor word / arrives” the poet writes, because not all nostalgia is an avenue for catharsis. And often the best recourse is not to stare, but to speak.—Joel M. Toledo, Poet, Palanca awardee The author is an award-winning poet and essayist.

ARTS AND HUMANITIES

The Postcolonial Perverse is a two-volume collection of fifteen different critiques of varying “aspects” of contemporary Philippine culture. The work’s “eclectic” topics range from the independent cinema movement to the mystifications of nationalist poetics, from sacrilegious “avant-garde” art to the deconstruction of an inaugural text in the Philippine anglophone tradition, and from reflections on the contact zone between science and art to the impertinent question of our foremost national hero’s quizzical gender and sexual identity. The title’s two concepts—“postcolonial” and “perverse”—are almost symmetrically split across these two books, urging the reader to more sharply intuit and “experience” the project’s central theme: the postcolonial hybridity or cultural mixedness that characterizes Philippine life is the same thing as the perverse inability of its agents to stay committed to principled and categorical thought. Poet and literary critic J. Neil Garcia teaches at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Digital Cinema in the Philippines, 1999–2009 traces the technological shift in Philippine cinema, from celluloid to digital, by narrating the history of digital cinema in the country from 1999 to mid-2009. It investigates how digital films in the Philippines are produced, distributed, and exhibited, as well as tentatively examines Philippine digital cinema’s aesthetic tendencies that emerged from the shift from celluloid to digital filmmaking. The book also explores the notions of independence in relation to Philippine digital cinema and the Philippine film industry. Eloisa May P. Hernandez teaches at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

ARTS AND HUMANITIES

This first collection of ten poems by Ned Parfan, six of which are lyric sequences, offers the ear and eye voices of splintered selves breaking out of dark passages of childhood trauma, and images broken off from the core of chaos-as-point of origin. The poems’ aperture into human asylums of pain is constantly widened by personae intent on conversing with each other and with others, propelled by the desire to rebel against or to surrender to the untouchable darkness at the edge of mortal vision. The poetic imagination of Parfan hurtles through time and space, the way it moves through stations of the LRT when the flood of typhoon Ondoy wrought near-apocalyptic visions of water as the end of life as we once knew it.— Marjorie Evasco, Poet, Palanca awardee

E. San Juan Jr., a writer and a literary critic, uses his poetry to reflect his advocacy in the struggle for supremacy between global capitalism and national proletarianism. Ang wika ay isang matinding larangan ng pakikibaka ng mga uri, lakas, at iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan sa bawat yugto ng kasaysayan. Sa balangkas at prosesong umuugit sa mga salita nakaugat ang paraan ng interpelasyon ng mambabasa/nakikinig upang maging sabjek na sumusunod sa naghaharing orden, o tumututol at lumalaban. … [Anumang] paksa o tema, estilo o estruktura, talinghaga o sagisag, ay maaaring gamitin upang makisangkot at lumahok sa pagpapasiya kung sino … ang magtatagumpay sa wakas.

Newly retired UP Visayas Professor Victor N. Sugbo’s Taburos Han Dagat pays tribute to his hometown, Tacloban—the city of his fondest affections, and now most lyrical grief, in the wake of typhoon Yolanda’s horrific onslaught. These poems were written by the author while he was living in temporary (and paradoxical) exile in various places in the arid Near East—an ironic experience of cross-cultural dialogue that the book captures in its parallel-text presentation of translations from the original Waray to English, which the poet himself so expertly performed. Delicate and elemental, the poems in either language are spindrift moments of brief but intense illumination, shimmering on the mind’s placid surface before vanishing, softly, into its meditative depths.

With the clinical eye of an academic, former UP College of Mass Communication Dean Luis Teodoro marshals data and historical contexts to pin down the powerholders, sparing no one—much unlike other “pundits” who dribble words for their patrons’ pleasure. Teodoro spares no institution that lumbers like a dinosaur: landlords who perpetuate dynasties and form private armies; archbishops who sermonize about critical collaboration and power-sharing; the Supreme Court which lets slip, with indecent glory, its partisan patronage.

Edited by a team of mass communication experts, Media at Lipunan and Communication and Media Theories respond to the basic and urgent need for compendiums of scholarly ruminations on Philippine mass media culture—its texts, contexts, forms, and publics. This is the very first time that books of this sort have been assembled—comprised entirely of critical and theoretical essays on communication, mass media, and cultural studies, written exclusively by Filipinos— and the University of the Philippines Press is entirely enthused and honored to bring this project to full fruition. These are excellent reference books that document, organize, and make accessible to the public essential readings in mass media studies.

Tayo’y mga manlalakbay sa kani-kaniyang panahon. Narito ang mga kuwentong itinala gamit ang malikhaing isipan at lumikha ng mga bakas na hindi na mabubura. Lunan ng Transfiksyon ang iba’t ibang anyo ng pakikipagsapalaran sa malalawak at makikitid na espasyo, sa kawalan, sa panaginip, sa nakaraan, at hinaharap.

The book, Changing Philippine Climate: Impacts on Agriculture and Natural Resources, presents the state of the knowledge on the effects of man-made global warming on the Philippines, focusing in particular on the weather, topographical, and aquatic systems, including their uniquely threatened biodiversities. Authored by eminent Filipino scientists, this book includes mitigation and adaptation strategies, as well as risk management recommendations, directed mostly at local and national structures of governance. The work, however, never loses sight of the overall global environmental picture, and thus invites the critical-minded reader to appreciate the complexity of the geopolitical situation within which any future solutions to this ecological emergency must be framed. UP Professor Emeritus Gerardo Sicat’s biography of former Prime Minister Cesar Virata is a work of scholarship and meticulous research as well as a compellingly written piece of creative nonfiction. The subject’s life unfolds within the matrix of his nation’s economic history—as an educator in the national university, as a technocrat and prime minister during the Marcos years, and thereafter as a private citizen, a banker, and a respected senior statesman. Prime Minister Virata’s life serves as a unique prism through which to see and appreciate the complexity of Philippine economic history. As told from the necessarily subjective perspective of a fellow economist and participant-observer, this book provides a much-needed space within which one may reflect on the interesting convergences between the Philippines’ economic and political histories.

Serialized in various newspapers of the day, Historia de Ilocos was finally published in two volumes in 1890. The first volume covers Ilocos’s prehistory while the second volume deals with Ilocos history from the sixteenth century onwards. Historia de Ilocos was awarded a gold medal at the Manila and Madrid Expositions. Isabelo de los Reyes wrote from his knowledge and experiences as an Ilocano to further knowledge about Philippine culture. He wanted Filipinos to know their cultural heritage, and to be proud of it. Translated into English by Maria Elinora Peralta Imson, this rich heritage may now be accessed by today’s generation of Filipinos.

All Our Nameable Days: Poems Revisited is a selection from the poet’s works through eight published collections since Fugitive Emphasis (1973) to Care of Light (2010), except Poems and Parables (his first selection, reprinted in 2002) and In Ordinary Time (2004). It consists of fiftyfour poems; an Introduction which clarifies his project of poetic “re-visioning”; relevant Notes on a number of the poems there; and at the end, an essay on his own poetics, “Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads,” a potential resource in creative writing courses. Gémino Abad is an award-winning poet and Professor Emeritus at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Perhaps the first of its kind released in the Philippines, Horror: Filipino Fiction for Young Adults was conceived solely with the Filipino young adult reader in mind, with stories that explore the concerns and fears of today’s youth through the lens of horror written by new and experienced authors. Horror: Filipino Fiction for Young Adults is the first of a series of anthologies covering science fiction, fantasy, and other genres, presented by award-winning editors Dean Francis Alfar and Kenneth Yu.

The anthology The Farthest Shore: An Anthology of Fantasy Fiction from the Philippines is a homage to secondary world stories in the vein of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Frank Herbert’s Dune, and George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones. Though the latter stories had fantastical settings only faintly similar to our reality and populated by monsters that had absolutely no relation to our creatures of the night, these books still developed a love in us for the fantastic and helped us appreciate the magic of our own stories. Here, you’ll encounter stories about a gigantic turtle-like beast traveling in space, a young woman’s cry for justice in an imagined world, and a witch-queen intent on escaping a deal with the devil. Welcome to the shores created by Filipino imagination. Welcome to The Farthest Shore. Between these covers are the best short stories of fantasy, horror, science fiction, and genres in-between, selected from the first five years of the Philippine Speculative Fiction annuals. Step through the portal and explore worlds old and new and experience the power of the literature of the imagination as crafted by Filipino authors. This collection was compiled and edited by award-winning fictionists Dean Francis Alfar and Nikki Alfar.

According to Javier Sicilia, “in Philippines, Closer Texts, Tomás Calvillo has abandoned all the certainty that was characteristic of his previous poetic works, and having assumed the historical paradigm shift of the times, he allows a unique poetic resonance to be heard amidst all the disconcert, suffering, and emptiness. Calvillo’s work is an unreachable mystery that travels through our collective memory brilliantly deciphering humor and tenderness.” This current bilingual edition encompasses 55 of the 179 poems published in the original Spanish edition. It is also the first volume of work from the author to be presented in the Philippines. The author was born in Mexico and writes poetry, short stories, movie scripts, and experimental literary works. Travelbook: Poems is a journeying “into self as well as into the world” that follows “the sense of the curviform, or the yonic.” It takes the reader into the open-ended and recurrent experiences of beginnings, ends, and new beginnings in poems on growing up, leaving home, going against norms, identifying with the strange, and encountering mysteries, lovers, cities, selves, homes, death, and rebirth. Shane Carreon is an award-winning poet and teaches at the University of the Philippines, Cebu.

In Mark Anthony Cayanan’s new collection, Except You Enthrall Me, the speaker wants to “know enough to turn away before desire,” but as these gorgeous poems demonstrate time and again, ultimately this is an exercise in defeat. Here is a poet who slips effortlessly between the fantasy and the fact, the beloved and the shadow, a world in which, in the moment after love, one can “taste ashes in the air.” Visionary, lyrical, the heart left battered and shining, Except You Enthrall Me ravishes.—Quan Barry The author teaches at the Ateneo de Manila University.

In this book’s affirmation of the power of poetic collaboration, we hear the poems in Tagalog and English carefully bring together, on the page and in the ear, different ways with language that give breath to what Kulas Talon’s itinerant urban troubadour observes in the boxwithin-the-box-within-the-possibly bigger-boxes where everybody seems to live. His poems punch holes into these boxes, exposing the oftentimes raw and rendered pointless, and the observing eye leaves the reader with the detritus of the scene for rumination of a deadening world. Let not the Shockbox revelations reiterate in our reading and re-readings the prophetic lament in the opening poem “Kahon”: Sinubukan niyang ipaliwanag ito sa ibang tao ngunit walang makinig.—Marjorie Evasco, Poet, Palanca awardee Demons of the New Year: An Anthology of Horror Fiction from the Philippines represents horror written by Filipino writers elaborating on the unique perspective of local horror. These are more than just rehashed tales from the provinces about Filipino mythological monsters like the aswang and the tikbalang. Nor are these your run-of-themill ghost stories told thrice over during sleepovers, with a flashlight shining in your face and your kumot pulled over your head. Within these pages, you will find tales of haunted houses, demon hunters, monster pop stars, and more. Welcome to the darkness that feeds on Filipino nightmares. But remember: don’t let them in.

The anthology Diaspora Ad Astra: An Anthology of Science Fiction from the Philippines represents science fiction made by Filipinos for Filipinos. This collection of stories looks at the future of Filipinos as we ask and wonder: will we be exporting human workers to Mars or will we be ruling a new Empire of Humanity? Or will we be running a guerrilla war against mad robots as the rest of homo sapiens flee into space in derelict battleships? Because of this, we’ve collected these Filipino stories that look into a multitude of possible futures. Moreover, with these stories, we offer you hope that there will be a future where Filipinos will still—whether we attain greatness or not—play a role on the stage of humanity.

A postmodern novel by Ramon Guillermo, set in the nineteenth century during the time of Rizal and other heroes. Detalyadong inilarawan sa nobela ang paglalaro ng sungka, mula sa pinakapayak nitong anyo: “Magsisimula ang laro sa sabay na pagdakot ng dalawang manlalaro ng mga sigay sa alinmang maliit na bahay sa kanilang hanay at tig-iisang paghahasik ng mga sigay sa maliliit na bahay at sa kani-kanilang malaking bahay…. Hindi maglalagay ng sigay sa malaking bahay ng kalaban. Kapag naubos na ang kanyang hinahasik at walang laman ang nabagsakang bahay ng pinakahuli niyang sigay ay tapos na ang kanyang turno …” Detalyado ang masalimuot na paraan ng pagtatagumpay sa larong ito ngunit mahihinuhang may higit na malalim na ipinahihiwatig ang nobela. This collection of Gelacio Guillermo’s poetry reflects his commitment to proletarian literature, trying to capture and foreground the sentiments of the Philippine working class. Kahit ano’ng itawag sa sulating ito … si Gelacio ang pinakamahusay na nagsusulong niyon. [Ang] mga tula sa aklat na ito ay tungkol sa masa at sila ay sining. Nangungusap sa tinig ng mamamayan at sila’y panulaan, komited sa buhay at pagmamahal at sila’y panitikan. … Narito ang daigdig na hinimay hanggang sa pinakaubod. Narito ang buhay na nilubos at taimtim na pinagmunimunian. … Narito ang hikbi at awit mula sa kaibuturan ng isang tao na mangyaring hikbi’t awit din ng iba.—Conrad de Quiros, Columnist, Philippine Daily Inquirer Rafael Antonio C. San Diego’s first book of poems is truly remarkable. From poem to poem—or poem or prose, if you will—one is struck by their inimitable finesse. Here is an original, innovative, and sturdy voice in our own poetry’s heartland where the language forged from English is of our sweat and blood in our own scene and time.—Gémino H.

This current volume … is a set of supplementary readings that form part of the multivolume Third World Perspectives on Politics Series. These readings, originally published in Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies, adopt a developing country perspective, or more appropriately a Third World perspective, in comparison to most readings in Philippine politics. This volume provides a number of analytical tools and frameworks that can be used as theoretical and methodological handles in the study of Philippine politics.

Introduction to Statistics and Econometrics, second edition, is a book for beginning econometrics students. The major change in this edition is the addition of a chapter on logistic regression, a model of binary choice that is now commonly used in many disciplines including economics. Other changes include a section on instrumental variable estimation, end-of-chapter appendices on the use of Stata, in addition to EViews, to implement econometric techniques, and editorial revisions to improve exposition. Despite these changes, this edition retains the basic purpose and the basic format of the first edition, which won the 2004 National Academy of Science and Technology Outstanding Book Award. Rolando Danao is Professor Emeritus at the University of the Philippines, Dilman. This volume on comparative politics and government seeks to elaborate and supplement analytical tools and frameworks in which developing countries could be compared. Of major concern is to be able to use this in understanding what have been the problems in the process of development and democratization of developing regions. The articles also seek to provide a basis by which the reader could also critically examine the views presented by the different authors and note their relevance or irrelevance in comprehending similar situations as experiences in developing societies. The editors are faculty of the Department of Political Science in the UP, Diliman.

This book is a teaching material for an undergraduate course in agricultural policy. It contextualizes agricultural policy in terms of the interrelationships of the agricultural sector with the rest of the macro and global economies. The specific policies include land/agrarian reform, fertilizer and seed subsidies, and other concerns in the context of trade and industrial protection, irrigation, and mechanization. Policies related to credit in support of farming activities, as well as research and development to increase production possibilities for farmers, are also discussed. The book also introduces topics on food safety issues, environmental concerns, and quantitative analytical tools to encourage students to explore advanced aspects of agricultural policy. The author teaches at the University of the Philippines, Los Ba単os.

Islam is a universal civilization built on the foundations of the classical world that has spread to the four corners of the earth. This book, Islamic Far East: Ethnogenesis of Philippine Islam, is a preliminary attempt to integrate/ unify the Islamization of the North, South, West, and East into one worldwide phenomenon, and locate the beginnings of Islamization in the Philippines within an Islamic historical framework. Describing the keys of Islam as a revolutionary message that linked nations in a shared civilization from West to East, from the Iberian Peninsula to China, in a global human and commercial network, the book tries to contextualize how the Philippine Archipelago became the Islamic world’s easternmost edge. Isaac Donoso teaches at the University of Alicante in Spain. Costly Wars, Elusive Peace covers two decades of armed conflict and peace building in post-Marcos Philippines. It provides incisive assessments on the major armed conflicts in the country. Articles on the debates within the ranks or between the protagonists, the roles played by civil society organizations and other third parties, the integration of combatants, the unfinished reconstruction of regional autonomy in Mindanao, and development and international assistance reflect on the other dimensions of a country grappling with the intricacies of its own wars. The author is the Chair of the Philippine Government Peace Panel in talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

Eight years after community journalist Nikki Rivera Gomez came out with his first anthology, Coffee and Dreams on a Late Afternoon: Tales of Despair and Deliverance in Mindanao, comes this second volume of essays on his troubled but steadfast homeland. Mindanao on My Mind and Other Musings spans nearly three decades of the author’s insights, from a quieter Davao to today’s unrelenting progress, from college theater to threatened watersheds, from old poems to unyielding Baby Boomers, from the romance of yore to the quest for peace. This book is as much the Mindanawon’s gaze into his eventful past as it is a journey into his hopeful future.

However, this book also takes into account the contemporary relevance of tattooing as an aspect of asserting identity as well as a practice that draws tourists into the region. As such, the author demonstrates comprehensively that the tattooing practices of the Kalinga have both a long history as well as a hopefully vibrant future.”—Elizabeth Ewart and Marcus Banks Analyn Salvador Amores teaches at the University of the Philippines, Baguio.

Hoard of Thunder, together with Upon Our Own Ground (2008) and Underground Spirit (2010), completes the sixvolume historical anthology series on Philippine short stories over 1956 to 2008. The Introduction to Hoard of Thunder is an overview essay on our short fiction since 1925 to the present. Throughout the series, the stories forge from English our writers’ imagination of our own historical experience as a people: how we Filipinos think and feel about our world and so, justify the way we live. Whatever form the story takes, realist or nonrealist, you are moved by its image of a lifetime or a moment lived that the story’s words have evocatively forged; that image sums up and makes into a whole the story’s meaningfulness by which its form has been achieved. That meaningfulness too is what raises the story to the universal plane of human experience—not the realm of eternal verities, but rather the site of everlasting quest and questioning. Whatever the future holds for our country’s literature in English (in Filipino as well, and in other Philippine languages), there can be no doubt as to its continuing vigor in craftsmanship and innovation in light of, and also despite, every theory or critical orientation, because the writer will always cherish above all his freedom against any imposition of a theoretical standpoint or ideological bias in matters of content and vision. His craft is his own to cultivate and refine; he makes his own clearing within a given historical language. Gémino Abad is Professor Emeritus at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

The Queen Lives Alone: Personal Essays gathers together sixteen nonfiction texts on cosmopolitan existence, people’s idiosyncrasies, poetic musings, and family stories. Through wit and humor, the author connects these four threads to tell the different facets of love—loving the self, loving the other, and loving the sublime. There are no grand events or life-changing miracles in this book— only the simplest details of the everyday, the smallest of gestures, and the littlest acts of kindness. In the end, The Queen Lives Alone is about the agonizing grace of being alone, of being alive. Ronald Baytan teaches at the De La Salle University in Manila.

Sacrificial Bodies is a comprehensive study on how the act of heroic sacrifice against foreign aggression has been transformed into a means of liberating generations of Filipinos from all forms of oppression, through the iconic pose and location of Guillermo Tolentino’s sculpture, the Oblation, within the University of the Philippines (UP) campus. The book chronicles the ideas, philosophies, and genealogy of this statue from the turn of the century to the present, combining approaches in anthropology, art history, political science, and literary theory in fleshing out the various meanings and implications of this pose. Reuben Ramas Cañete teaches at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Innocence, fear, and intrigue permeate this collection of interrelated stories, which span more than four hundred years, from the time of the fictional Datu Kalantiaw to the postmodern phenomenon of migrant labor. The result is a concatenation of tales, legends, official history, alternative histories, mythic and fairy-tale formulas, and all manner of discourse that the author could pull out of the cornucopia of texts that compose Philippine island life. National Artist Cirilo F. Bautista describes the stories as “a wonderful weave of history and imagination, showing Rosario CruzLucero’s expertise with language and narrative structure.” The author teaches at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Teodoro has selected for this volume some of the most relevant and most thought-provoking essays ever written in this country on the complexities of journalism and media practice in the Philippines. While an invaluable guide in understanding the state of the Philippine press and media, this volume also demonstrates that knowledge of the ethical and professional measures used in the evaluation of media performance is critical in enabling readers, viewers, and listeners of both the old and the new media to judge the press and media for themselves.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

This book aims to introduce classical and variational PDEs to graduate and postgraduate students in Mathematics. Part I gives a comprehensive overview of classical PDEs, that is, equations which admit smooth (strong) solutions, verifying the equations pointwise. Part II deals with variational PDEs, where weak solutions are considered. These solutions verify a weak formulation of the equations and belong to suitable spaces of functions, the Sobolev spaces. The theory of Sobolev spaces provides the foundation for the study of variational PDEs. A comprehensive and detailed presentation of these spaces and the Sobolev embeddings is presented. The authors are faculty from the UP Institute of Mathematics. The articles in Science Philippines are a compilation of Star Science articles that have been arranged under broad classifications of the sciences. Who are our writers? Dedicated Filipino scientists and engineers here and abroad who wish to share their scientific work and philosophy with the Filipino public—to heighten the awareness of our government and media leaders, private industry, entrepreneurs, professionals, nonprofessionals, and most especially our youth, their parents and teachers, of the value of science to society. Gisella Concepcion teaches at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

What is Bikol archaeology? Is it simply an inventory of finds, a list of sites, or a display of artifacts in a museum? Is it only a narration of events, a culture-historical sequence of human progress in the region? And, if there is such a thing as Bikol archaeology, how does it relate to the archaeology of the rest of the Philippines? This book is relevant for anthropologists and archaeologists looking for novel ways by which to appreciate the deeper past of a contemporary Philippine region, as well as those seeking to develop regional archaeological studies. More importantly, it is relevant to today’s Bikolanos by presenting a more well-rounded reckoning of their identity’s past and directions for the future. Andrea Malaya M. Ragragio teaches at the University of the Philippines, Mindanao.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

College freshman students pursuing different career courses (engineering, science, health, teacher education, or general education courses) need a strong foundation in chemistry on which to build their future learning. This book aims to cultivate in these students both functional and conceptual literacy in chemistry, learning not only its language and vocabulary, but more importantly, its conceptual schemes and organizing principles, such as the Atomic Theory, the Periodic Law, the Kinetic Molecular Theory, and the Laws of Thermodynamics. To develop procedural literacy, students are honed on the scientific processes and methods that scientists employ in searching for new information.

This manual, a companion to the book Foundation Course in College Chemistry, provides basic teaching guidelines for the chemistry teacher: covering goals, teaching strategies, concept mapping, and assessments. It also lists the main science concepts in each chapter as well as the answers to the self-assessment questions contained in the book. Marcelita Coronel Magno taught at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS

Green Jobs and Green Skills in a Brown Philippine Economy is Dr. Rene Ofreneoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to a multicountry global study on the skills and education dimensions of the greening processes in the global economy organized by the International Labour Office and the UN Environmental Programme. This book shows how a green alignment of education and training activities can support the level and skills requirements of green/er industries, as reflected in the case studies of a copper smelter, a fast-food chain, a bioethanol plant, and an organic agriculture farm. The author is former Dean of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations in the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

SOCIAL SCIENCES AND LAW

This book looks at Supreme Court decisions through the lens of a political behaviorist without the blinders on the eyes of the law practitioner. The focus is on Supreme Court leading cases on constitutional law, because it is when the high court decides constitutional cases that it becomes a political body, for good or for ill. This holds true especially under the present constitution, which has virtually erased the fine line initially drawn under the late and unlamented separation of powers principle, such that when two political bodies meetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;e.g., the Supreme Court and Congressâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it results in a clash of titans, which reached its peak in the recent impeachment of a chief justice drama that has now become part of our legal history. Pacifico Agabin was Dean of the College of Law at UP Diliman. The Siege of Baler is a well-known episode in the Philippines, particularly in connection with the PhilippineSpanish Friendship Day and the 2008 remarkable movie on the siege. Using a deep knowledge of archival sources both in the Philippines and Spain, this reconstruction of the siege brings up the specific details of the complex process of estrangement between the besieged and the besiegers, and the extraordinary dedication and courage that both Filipinos and Spaniards demonstrated to achieve victory, providing a case study for knowledge of the military strategies used at the end of the nineteenth century and the role of image and perceptions in conflict resolution.

In twelve stories collected from a decade of writing fiction, the much-awarded Dumaguete writer Ian Rosales Casocot attempts to rescue personal experience from the ephemera of travel and sexual limbo, and in the process makes his stories a fixative art, each one a grand evocation of style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beautiful accidents litter his stories, like glass shards from a collision â&#x20AC;Ś He uses language amorously, as a lover savors a kiss, so that passion becomes as real as the rhythm of his sentences,â&#x20AC;? writes Timothy R. Montes of this collection of stories, where once proud fathers fade after the golden age of sugarcane in Negros, where mothers are fossilized in the celluloid memories of old movies, and where the very young play dangerous games as they hustle for sex, love, and attention in the small and weary world of university towns.

In this, her latest book, fictionist/essayist/scholar Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo focuses on the women writers of her own generation who are still writing today. She describes her plan as “modest,” and her project as “six sketches” or “cameos,” which she hopes will “also recreate, albeit in fragmentary fashion, the world in which we came of age as writers and continue to work in today.” “Many of the women with whom we started our careers have stopped writing. Many of those who are still writing have chosen to live elsewhere. In a sense, we are survivors. I wanted to write about us and what has made us what we are.” The author is Professor Emeritus at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Whether in superhero costume, in cosplay, or in street clothes (or in hardly any clothes at all), each story in this collection comes snug in language and streetwise in sensibility, and engages us and sweeps us off as swiftly as an oncoming MRT Just get on, and get off on the characters and their destinations.

Ortiz ay nagtuturo sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, Diliman. A collection of postmodern stories of Rommel Rodriguez, a professor at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Narito ang kuwento ng isang environmentalist na may bulok na ngipin, aliping sinagip ng dunong sa tiyak na panganib, mga mandirigmang mailap, at batang manggagamot na nilason ng digmaan ang puso’t isip. May sumasayaw na anino ng mga poon, paglisan ng pag-ibig sa syudad, at paghanap sa kadugong nawalay sa kabundukan. May kuwento tungkol sa bawal at huwad na disiplina ng estado, pagbuo sa naputol na ugnayan, paglaro sa kulay ng imahinasyon, at pananatili sa kawalang-katiyakan. May salaysay para magsilbing bago ang kakaiba, lumikha ng tiwalag na tala, at humubog ng mamamatay-tao sa anyo ng mistulang pinuno ng isang bansa. Sir Anril Tiatco, a professor at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, uses two characters in this experimental play to depict the debate on what is more important in theater: text or performance. He also uses historical documents as bases for the content of the play. Ito ay isang dula base sa maraming dokumentong historikal. Mandudula ang dalawang pangunahing tauhan. Maaari silang usisain bilang “biktima” ng awtoridad at manipulasyon. Kagaya ng patuloy na debate hinggil sa “text versus performance” ng diskurso sa teatro, isinakatawang-tao ng mga ito ang debate hinggil sa kung alin ang awtoridad sa teatro: teksto o pagtatanghal sa pamamagitan ng kanilang komprontasyon sa arkayb at ng mapaglarong dokumentong historikal.

The almanac contains the author’s personal journey as a proactive and politically aware individual, reflecting 365 days of “informed” writing. Ang Almanak ng Isang Aktibista ay babasahin sa politika ng pang-araw-araw. Ito ay pagninilay sa posibilidad ng kondisyon ng kontemporaryong buhay: ang swabe at hayagang paniniil at panunupil ng negosyo, institusyon, at estado sa isang banda, at ang pagmamahal sa buhay at imperatibo ng pakikibaka sa kabilang banda. Ang aktibistang nilalang ay natatangi dahil ito ay nagmamahal at pinipili ang buhay at pag-ibig. Si Rolando Tolentino ay nagtuturo sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, Diliman.

In Forcing the Pace (UP Press, 2007, a National Book Award finalist in 2008), historian Ken Fuller followed the progress of the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (PKP) from its foundation in 1930 to the defeat of the Huk Rebellion in the mid-1950s. In A Movement Divided, he continues the story until the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. The author traces the PKPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painstaking attempts to rebuild, its conclusion of a political settlement with Marcos in 1974, and the development of the increasingly anti-imperialist stance which informed its approach to Marcos.

In this book University of Minnesota Professor, Kale Bantigue Fajardo examines the cultural politics of seafaring, Filipino maritime masculinities, and globalization in the Philippines and the Filipino diaspora. Drawing on fieldwork conducted on ships and in the ports of Manila and Oakland, as well as on an industrial container ship that traveled across the Pacific, Fajardo argues that Filipino seamen have become key figures through which the Philippine state and economic elites promote Filipino masculinity and neoliberal globalization.

The book, published in 2002 by Greenwood Press, has been extensively modified for this second edition, published under the auspices of the most prestigious university in the Philippines. Several of the essays in the first edition have been replaced with new essays more directly relevant to the main theme of the complex Philippines-US interaction—characterized during the twentieth century by a mix of acute resentment and affectionate imitation. A new introduction also summarizes developments during the past decade, noting that ambivalence vis-à-vis the US has been somewhat attenuated, in part by the redress of a historical wrong when President Obama created in 2009 the Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund. Editor Hazel M. McFerson teaches at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. This book examines the American colonization of the Philippines from three distinct but related literary perspectives. The first is the reaction of anti-imperialist American writers Mark Twain, W. E. B. Du Bois, and William James to America’s first foray into the role of colonizer and how their varied essays, letters, and speeches provide an incisive delineation of fundamental conflicts in American identity at the turn of the twentieth century. The book then analyzes how these same conflicts surface in the colonial regime’s use of American literature as a tool to inculcate American values in the colonial educational system. Finally, Dead Stars considers the way three early and important Filipino writers—Paz Marquez Benitez, Maximo Kalaw, and Juan C. Laya—interpret and represent these same tensions in their fiction. In Things Fall Away, Neferti X. M. Tadiar offers a new paradigm for understanding politics and globalization. Through close readings of poems, short stories, and novels brought into conversation with scholarship in anthropology, sociology, politics, and economics, Tadiar demonstrates how the devalued experiences of the Philippines’ vast subaltern populations—experiences that “fall away” from the attention of mainstream and progressive accounts of the global capitalist present— help to create the material conditions of social life that feminists, urban activists, and revolutionaries seek to transform.—Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, author of Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection The author is Professor at Bernard College in New York.

The Rhetorics of Sin focuses on Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, who figured prominently in the political life of the Philippines. His position as a Roman Catholic cardinal from 1976 to 2005 enabled him to influence Philippine social and political affairs. This book analyzes selected rhetorical discourses of Sin within the period 1972 to 1992. It describes the identifiable forces in configured interplay and the exigential flows of antecedents-events-consequences. Cardinal Sin’s rhetoric was created and shaped by these forces leading to a rhetorical role and persona he played within the historical configuration period. Mary Jannette Pinzon teaches at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Traces the important role of women laborers during the American Regime highlighting the life of some women who gained prominence during that time. Binibigyang-linaw ng Babae, Obrera, Unyonista: Ang Kababaihan sa Kilusang Paggawa sa Maynila (1901–1941) ang mahalagang papel ng kababaihan noong panahon ng mga Amerikano sa Pilipinas sa pagsusulong sa mga kahilingan ng manggagawa para sa mas mataas na sahod, karapatang mag-unyon, dagdag na benepisyo, at ang paghapag ng mga partikular na isyu ng kababaihang manggagawa tulad ng hiwalay na palikuran, maternity leave, pasilidad para sa day care, at paglaban sa seksuwal na pang-aabuso. Si Judy Taguiwalo ay nagtuturo sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, Diliman. This book seeks to answer complex questions regarding the often volatile relationship between management and labor in the Philippines by following the trade union movement from 1972 to 1984 as it braves the martial law years; celebrates May 1 milestones; metamorphoses into the BMP, TUCP, and KMU, among others; and struggles for both workers’ rights and rewards—from the tiny shops along Avenida Rizal to the export processing zones, from the batilyos’ indignation Mass in Navotas to the legendary strike at La Tondeña—and along the way, leaves lessons for all employees, employers, labor leaders, and legislators today.

From the first word in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lupang Hinirangâ&#x20AC;? (the Philippine national anthem) and beyond, bayan permeates our lives and in a real sense, our consciousness. This is the inaugural volume of what is hoped to be a series of works on different aspects of Philippine studies brought together by Kamulatan (Consciousness), a studies collective. Essays in this volume seek to explore various aspects of bayan and what it/she represents. This collection contains eight essays, four in English and four in Filipino; four are written by authors residing in the Philippines and four in the United States.
