History Professor donates book on housing resettlement

Dr. Jaime B. Veneracion

Dr. Jaime Balcos Veneracion donates his book “Sapang Palay : Hacienda, Urban Resettlement and Core of the City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan” to the University Library.

He is a writer, professor and historian; finished his doctorate in Philippine Studies (History, Anthropology and Political Science) at the University of the Philippines in1983.  He was given the UP Centennial Professor Award in 2009 and Manila Tanging Parangal in 2010 for his contributions in the field of history, culture and the arts.

The book was launched last December 21, 2011 by the Samahang Pangkasaysayan ng Bulakan (SAMAKA). Published through a grant from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).

The book narrates the personal engagement of the author with Sapang Palay, learning in the process the wider historical context in which it was transformed from a hacienda into a resettlement of urban “informal settlers.” The forced evacuation of urban dwellers into the rural frontier of San Jose del Monte created social contradictions among the various classes, ethnic groups and political grouping that would be resolved only with the help of  ‘integrators” and “movers.”

Book launching– pictures from Samahang Pangkasaysayan ng Bulacan Facebook account (viewed 12 January 2012).

Sapang Palay is now available for sale at the UP Press Bookstore at Php500.00.  Contact numbers: (632)9282558, (632)9266642.

CAL Professor Donates Book on Cardinal Sin

Prof. Mary Jannette L. Pinzon, CAL Professor donates book on Cardinal Sin, "Rhetorics of Sin"

The University of the Philippines Diliman Library is the recipient of a book recently launched at the College of Arts and Letters Library. Published by the University of the Philippines Press, The Rhetorics of Sin by Prof. Mary Jannette L. Pinzon of the Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts, College of Arts and Letters, University of the Philippines, “focuses on Jaime Cardinal Sin … 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. This book attempts to provide an answer to the seemingly perennial question: Did Jaime Cardinal Sin violate the constitutional provision of separation of Church and state in the Philippines?”

The Rhetoric of Sin is now available for sale at the UP Press at Php 350.00.
