Mga Patnugot


“…..ang paglikha ng isang aklat na katulad nito …magiging kontribusyon para makatulong sa paghubog ng kaisipan ng mga kabataan (lalung-lalo na ng mga mag-aaral sa mataas na paaralan) tungo sa kagandahang asal at sa pagkakaroon ng mga katangiang tulad ng pagiging maka-Diyos, makabayan at makakapwa. Marami sa humigit na 7,000 tulang Tagalog na isinulat ng yumaong si Soc Rodrigo ay nagsasaad ng ganitong mga katangian at pag-uugali."

“Inaasam ng Grupo 58 (binubuo ng mga kaklase at kamag-aral na nagtapos sa Ateneo 'Grade School 1954', 'High School 1958', 'College 1962' at ilang mga kaibigang nakasama sa paaralan) na ang aklat na ito ay magamit sa mga paaralang pansekundarya sa buong bayan, pambribado man o pampubliko, bilang karagdagang material (supplemental material) sa kanilang pag-aaral sa kanilang klase sa Pilipino o Araling Panlipunan/Sibika. Sa ganitong paraan ay madagdagan nawa ang kanilang pagtangkilik, hindi lamang sa kagandahan ng wikang Pilipino, kundi pati na rin sa lahing Pilipino.”

Klima Climate Change Center (Manila Observatory)
presents

Our WORLD
in a
Changing Climate


"Our World in a Changing Climate" is a 30-minute documentary which stars a 3D animated character leaf named Malki. As a friend of the earth, Malki is extremely worried about the drastic changes that are going on in our planet, so she calls her young friend Franco to make a research on why the earth is heating up and how to save it.

Together they embark on a journey that leads them to experts and friends of the environment like actress Chin Chin Gutierrez, Fr. Jett Villarin, TV host JC Gonzales, VJ Patty Laurel, Prof. Rosario Wood and Mr. Robert Puckett. In the end, Malki and Franco decide to act together to save Mother Earth and to unite children all over the world to do the same.

Situation Report and Security Bulletin

SITUATION REPORT
Monday, 17 September 2007
The Situation Report of 17 September 2007, with relevant photos, is posted at http://www.admu.edu.ph/index.php?p=120&type=2&sec=26&aid=4166
It may also be downloaded as a Word file from http://www.ateneo.edu/upp/sitrep_doc/Sitrep_170907.doc

TRAFFIC: The number of accidents on and off-campus seem to be increasing. These accidents can be avoided if greater care is exercised in driving on and off-campus.

At 4:30 p.m. Thursday, 13 September an LS student accidentally backed-up against an incoming JR car going to Lucas Infirmary of LHS.

At 8:35 p.m., Thursday, 13 September a Lancer heading to the flyover rammed a Hi-Lux van that came from Jollibee and crossed Katipunan to make a U-turn near Gate 2.5.

Red sedan that hit a motorcycle when the driver opened the door while driving to spit. The driver refused to report the accident until the police mobile patrol was called for assistance.

Early last Saturday morning, 15 September the motorcycle of Ateneo personnel was hit by the door of a Lancer. The driver opened the car’s door to spit and hit a motorcycle beside it. This happened at the shortcut road from A. Bonifacio to Katipunan service road. The motorcyclist was slightly injured.

ACET: Traffic was heavy last Saturday and Sunday for the ACET exams. MMDA and QC Traffic Aides managed traffic in the area.

Shuttle vans provided by the Office of Admission and Aid to bring examinees from Gate 2 and Gate 3 to the High School and Grade School. Many students walked to the exam venue.

SECURITY: The PNP Precinct 9 is acknowledged and commended for fast and result oriented actions on crimes committed in the campus. The suspects in the car break-in at the North carpark and the intruder in Manila Observatory and San Jose Seminary were very quickly identified and found because of PSupt Oscar V Palisoc’s quick action .

Precinct 9 has been most helpful in attending to complaints and equally effective in solving crimes on campus.

REMINDER: Dogs not registered with the Ateneo will not be allowed on campus starting 1 October 2007.

All dog owners bringing their pets to the campus will be required to register their dogs with Campus Security. Registration Forms are available at the Security Office. Dog owners must:

PEP TEENS SEMINAR

PEP-TEENS
A Workshop on
Positive Empowered
Parenting (PEP)

For parents and caregivers of teens 13 years old and above

The Pep-Teens Workshop Approach…….
One of the greatest joys in life is becoming a parent.And yet, it can also be one of the most challenging roles that parents are ever faced with. In these high-stressed times and surrounding complex environment, the demands and responsibilities of parenting seem to even be harder to fulfill.

Is there a better way to raise our teens?
CEFAM presents its PEP-TEENS WORKSHOP as an alternative approach to effective parenting.In this workshop, parents and other caregivers learn how to create more satisfying and productive relationships in the family.The program teaches specific and practical skills that parents need and will use in their daily interaction with their teens.After the workshop, parents need and will use in their daily interaction with their teens.After the workshop, parents may begin to feel more confident and capable to fulfill their roles as fathers and mothers.And, as they try out their new skills at home, they will hopefully be able to recapture and continue to enjoy this significant role which every parent truly values.

Topics…

Talk 1: Building A Positive Relationship With Your Teen
Parents are often times baffled with their teen.Years back, these parents can probably claim to have had a relatively smooth parent-child relationship.But now that their child is a teen-ager, things seem to have changed.What makes your teen different?What makes him behave the way he does?What are his present concerns?Part I of this module presents an overview of adolescent development.Knowing this will enable parents to understand their teen better and be more sensitive to his basic needs at this stage in his life.

Talk 2: Communicating Effectively With Your Teen
Do you want to build friendship and intimacy with your teen?Effective communication is a basic ingredient in developing a good relationship between parent and teen.Do you want to be close to him?At the same time, do you want your child to understand you?These are some of the vital questions that will be answered in this module.Important parenting skills such as reflective listening, I-message, and problem-solving will be thoroughly discussed in this workshop.

Talk 3: How To Improve Your Child’s Teen’s-Esteem
Every parent wants his teen to grow up capable, confident, and able to achieve his full potential.How de we help him develop these qualities?This module will teach parents practical ways of helping their teen build his self-worth which is essential to a healthy personality.Through lectures and activities, parents will find out if they are nurturing or blocking the full development of their teen’s self-esteem.Concrete ways to rebuild a child’s low self-esteem will also be discussed.

Talk 4: Positive Ways to Discipline Your Teen
Do you have difficulties in disciplining your teen?However, in reality, effective discipline is one of the best ways for the teen to develop responsibility and decision-making skills.In this module, parents will learn practical ways of using positive discipline.With these suggestions, parents will discover that discipline need not cause unnecessary stress on both parent and teen.Special topics that parents are usually concerned with will also be briefly discussed in this module:sibling rivalry, developing social skills,schoolwork, boy-gril relationships, peer pressure, SDA (smoking, drugs, alcohol).

Method….
Lecture Presentations
Role-Playing Exercised and other experiential activities
Question and Answer Forum

Resource Persons……

Speakers are trained counselors/ psychologists from the CEFAM staff.The PEP-Teens Workshop is based on the U.S. program called Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) and has been adopted by CEFAM speakers to meet the needs of the Filipino family.

Schedule……
Two Consecutive Saturdays October 6 and 13, 2007

THE HENRY LEE IRWIN CHAIR IN CREATIVE WRITING LECTURE

The Department of English
and
Class ’54 of the Ateneo de Manila University
present
the Henry Lee Irwin Chair in Creative Writing Lecture
on
Revisiting Juan Luna’s Spoliarium,
Writing Art in History
by
Patrick D. Flores
Henry Lee Irwin Chair Awardee, 2007
24 September 2007, Monday
4.30 – 6.00 pm
John Gokongwei School of Management Building (SOM)
Ground Floor, Room 111
Ateneo de Manila University

*ABSTRACT*
To mark the opening of the National Art Gallery of the National Museum of the Philippines and to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Juan Luna, this lecture revisits the country’s most well-known painting, Spoliarium, which merited a Gold Medal at the Madrid Exposition in 1884. The talk explores the work’s various dimensions: style, nationalism, artistic biography. It draws on various disciplines such as literature and art history, folk theater and nineteenth-century oratory to locate the painting within a wide horizon of meanings and sensibilities. It also surveys the range of interpretations within which it has gained canonical stature and critique through time.

A distinct dimension in this reengagement with the Spoliarium is the writing or literatue on this piece of cherished art, exemplified by the texts of Jose Rizal and Graciano Lopez Jaena, which may well constitute the earliest instances of art criticism in Philippine art history. This mode of critical reflection creatively conceives the relationship between art and nineteenth- century nationalism and significantly informs the language of art writing and writing on art of the modern period.

*ABOUT THE SPEAKER*
DR. PATRICK D. FLORES is Professor of Art Studies at the University of the Philippines and Curator of the Arts Division of the National Museum of the Philippines. He has degrees in the Humanities, Art History, and Philippine Studies. He has done research on colonial art and history of contemporary curation in Southeast Asia through grants from the Toyota Foundation and the Asian Public Intellectuals Fellowship. He was a visiting fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in 1999. He has also curated exhibitions locally and internationally. His recent essays appeared in the journal positions from Duke University, Filozofski Vestnik from Slovenia, and the anthology Eye of the Beholder: Reception, Audience, and Practice of Modern Asian Art from the University of Sydney.

POWER: Upgrading of Rizal Library’s underground primary feeder line and transformer is ongoing. This will be completed by December.

COMMUNICATION: Power surge protectors for the PABX have been installed to reduce damage to PABX cards during thunderstorms and to minimize disruption of communication.

TRAFFIC: The number of traffic accidents on and off-campus since the start of the school year are shown below:


On Campus Off-Campus
As of 13 September 7 7
August 6 11
July 16 4
June 14 4
May 5 3
April 4 0

The accidents on campus are generally minor. The high incidences in June & July can be attributed to adjustment of new drivers to the campus traffic scheme. However, the increase in the incidence of accidents in Katipunan in August is difficult to explain. It is alarming as it may be increasing in frequency.

At 10:20 p.m. last Saturday, 7 September, a sedan flipped-over at the Katipunan U-turn between Gate 3.5 and Miriam College ’s Gate 1. The guards saw the sedan executing the U-turn at high speed when its left front wheel hit the gutter of the center island and turned turtle.

The driver, an LS student had to be helped out of the car. His passenger managed to leave the car by herself. Both were unharmed. It is strongly recommended to the community that U-turns in Katipunan be executed at a safe and reasonable speed.

At the U-turn near Gate 2.5 last Sunday, 9 September involving a taxi and a motorcycle. The motorcycle was on the wrong lane. Two SUVs involved in an accident in the same area shortly after the taxi and motorcycle accident. An SUV and school bus involved in a minor accident between Gate 3 and Gate 3.5 at 6:25 a.m., Thursday 13 September.

In all cases, non observance of traffic rules and aggressive (rather than defensive) driving resulted in the vehicular accident.

On campus last Saturday morning, 7 September a tricycle loaded with three student passengers bumped a van it was following when the van stopped for pedestrians. Fortunately, nobody was injured. The van’s bumper was slightly damaged. The van bumped by the tricycle. The SUV that hit the parking barriers at the High School carpark at 10:20 p.m. of Saturday, 7 September. Note the misaligned left rear wheel of the SUV & damaged concrete posts.

A Loyola Schools student was driving the SUV. He came from Moro Lorenzo Sports Center and accidentally rammed the concrete posts barriers and seriously damaged his SUV. The student was not hurt.

SECURITY: Campus security continues to recover cell phones, bags, wallets left unattended or found on benches.

SG VENANCIO L TEPINO, Gate 2 guard returning the Nokia N70 cell phone of a student. The student reported to the Gonzaga carpark guard that he left his phone in a taxi. Gate 2 guards were notified by radio of the incident. The guard recovered the phone from the taxi driver who was about to leave the campus.

The light installed at the Paseo de Reilly junction near Arrupe Residence Halls. Outsiders have been reported loitering in the area in the evening.

The newly installed guard house and bar boom at the entrance of Manila Observatory.

The intruder who damaged property and injured personnel of Manila Observatory and San Jose Seminary last Friday, 24 August has been traced and identified. Campus security accompanied Precinct 9 investigators to the suspect’s residence in Quezon City . It turned out that the suspect has problems and was scheduled to visit the Center for Family Ministries.

The family of the suspect has apologized for the conduct of the suspect and has settled matters amicably with the institutions and the personnel who were injured.

STRAY DOG
Around 9:30 a.m. yesterday, 12 September, students reported to security a very “friendly dog” following them around at the Gonzaga smokers pocket garden. Campus security collared the dog and brought the dog to the security office. Nobody claimed the dog and one of the guards adopted the “askal”.

Quezon City and Marikina City have ordinances requiring all dogs to be registered and vaccinated with anti-rabies. In compliance with these ordinances, stray dogs will be impounded and turned over to either Marikina City or Quezon City . Campus security will require dog owners to show registration papers or collars of their dogs.

All dog owners bringing their pets to the campus will also be required to register their dogs with Campus Security. Registration Forms will be available at the Security Office by 17 September 2007. Dogs not registered with the Ateneo will not be allowed on campus 1 October 2007. Dog owners are required to:

1. Keep their dogs on a leash.
2. Clean up after these animals.
3. Be responsible for injury or damage done by their pets.

VANDALISM: Campus security will also apprehend persons caught removing barks of Banaba trees on campus. The banaba trees in the Grade School area are in danger of dying because irresponsible persons have been removing barks for medicinal purposes. This is not allowed on campus.

Banaba trunks with bark extensively removed. University Physical Plant personnel are painting the trunks to protect the trees from vandals.

The community is requested to report to security persons removing barks of banaba trees.

Death of Fr Miguel Jose V Casals SJ

Ateneo de Manila University
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT




05 September 2007


MEMO TO : THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY

FROM : THE PRESIDENT

SUBJECT : DEATH OF FR. MIGUEL JOSE V. CASALS, S.J.


This is to inform the Ateneo community of the death of FR. MIGUEL JOSE V. CASALS, S.J. He passed away Friday, 31 August 2007. He was 86 years old. Fr. Casals taught English and Theology at the Ateneo de Manila and was Chairman of the Department of English in the early 60s before he moved to Sacred Heart Novitiate as English Professor and Master of Novices.

Attached is the Funeral Homily delivered by Fr. Noel D. Vasquez, S.J. who was a student of his at the Ateneo. Fr. Noel’s homily relates to us the story of Fr. Casal’s life and mission in the Society of Jesus. May we ask the prayers of the community for Fr. Mike, for his family and for the so many people whom his ministry has touched.




BIENVENIDO F. NEBRES, S.J.
President






Homily
Funeral Mass for Fr. Miguel Jose V. Casals, S.J.
Loyola House of Studies
04 September 2007


I chose these two readings, from the Book of Wisdom and the Gospel of St. Matthew for this Mass for Fr. Mike because I see Fr. Mike in these.

The first reading assures us how the just are in the hands of God, how chastised a little as gold in a furnace, how as a sacrificial offering the just is greatly blessed, and that finally God takes the just unto himself. And at this final Mass of commendation, we do believe that the Lord has taken unto Himself Fr. Mike, a true Jesuit at heart and in action, one whom He had purified as gold in a furnace.

Yes very truly Fr. Mike was a son of Ignatius, in heart and in action.

The 1550 Formula of the Institute of the Society of Jesus which is the core basis of the Constitution of the Society, describes who the Jesuit is and enumerates many and various possible missions he is to undertake. A Jesuit is one who desires to be a “soldier of God beneath the banner of the cross” in the Society of Jesus, wherein he is to serve the Lord alone.

At the age of 29, in May 1949, Fr. Mike entered the Novitiate. He was the eldest in the family. I heard that that age was already considered then as a “late” vocation. For this reason I was told that he was exempted from doing the usual teaching regency and so he was sent straight to theology after his philosophy course. But part of the reason also was his many years of teaching in several colleges in Cebu, including San Carlos University, run by the SVD Fathers. This was after he graduated summa cum laude with an AB degree in Journalism at the University of Santo Tomas, in 1942. By this time the Japanese already had control of the country.

Fr. Mike’s greater desire was really to be a soldier of the Lord in the Society, rather than with the Dominicans or the SVD. Before entering, he actually was a soldier when WWII was about to end, serving with the 81st Signal Company of the 81st Brigade of the Philippine Army. That explains how he wore his sotana, like a uniform, with military bearing when I first knew him as our teacher in 2nd year Theology, 44 years ago in 1963, here at the Ateneo. His sotana was always newly pressed, with only one crease along the sleeves, always over a white pair of pants and black ROTC-type of black shoes. He was proud to wear the Jesuit sotana, he wore it very smartly, unlike a few Jesuits then whom you would think wore their sotanas in bed. But now, unfortunately for many of us, the lasting physical image of him will be of one in crutches and a wheelchair. But these are all externals.

In heart and in action he was a true Jesuit. The Formula of the Institute further tells us that the Jesuit’s fundamental mission is to “strive for the defense and propagation of the faith and the progress of souls in the Christian life and doctrine” and to achieve these through several ministries like public lectures, preaching of the Word of God, giving the Spiritual Exercises, consoling the faithful through confessions and other sacraments, and education of children and the unlettered. In addition to these, the Jesuit is to be ready to assist the estranged and compassionately assist those in hospitals and prisons, and to do other works of charity. Amazingly, despite his physical disabilities, Fr. Mike did practically all of these foundational works of the Society. Many of us probably do not realize this fact.

After his limited physical recovery from his almost fatal illness in 1965 which prematurely ended his assignment as Novice Master to just a year, he came back to the Ateneo and served both as confessor of students and assistant chaplain at the Bilibid prison in Muntinlupa. Going back and forth to the prison was not so comfortable at that time. When he was at Xavier House, then the Province Curia from 1973-1978, serving as the Province Secretary, he also helped out at the Philippine General Hospital.

He also did administrative work, as Minister of Xavier House, and before that as Treasurer of Loyola House of Studies in 1968 to 1973. Twice, in 1973-1978 and 1997-2002, he was Director of the Mirador Jesuit Retreat House in Baguio.

He was spiritual father and confessor for many years, from 1968-1997, both here at Loyola House and San Jose Seminary. I personally found him as a very accepting spiritual director who elicited trust in his directees. He was also a favorite confessor for many of us scholastics then. He did not make unnecessary scrutiny and he gave light and almost predictable penance. I do not think he could be shocked by what he might hear in the confessional.

He always showed compassion. At the Ateneo, in 1961-1963, many of us college students preferred him as confessor. He was student counselor then and he made sure he saw each of the 2nd year students once a semester. There were less than 200 of us then and he knew most of us personally. Given our age and tendencies then, he asked all of us to read the booklet “Modern Youth and Chastity”. At the same time, given his love for the Society, he did ask many to consider the possibility of a vocation to the Society.

During his assignments here on campus, he managed to teach a few courses in English and Theology, the same courses he taught in the Ateneo in 1961-1963, his first full assignment before being Master of Novices. Teaching English Literature I think was really his love. He thought he would be going back to finish his PhD in English Literature at Fordham after doing his thesis those years. But the superiors had other plans for him. Hesitantly, he went on to do his Licentiate in Ascetical Theology in 1963 at the Gregorian University in Rome, as preparation to being Novice Master.

Through all these years, up to around two years ago when he grew more weak and sickly, he did regular pastoral and spirituality work. He was giving retreats to many groups, including a regular group during the Holy Week. Almost daily, he would leave at 5 in the morning to say the 6 AM Mass in the Binondo Parish where he is well loved. Before this, for quite a long time, he was also saying regular Masses at a subdivision in Marikina. And he helped set up a foundation named after St. Joseph, for the education of poor children.

So Fr. Mike engaged in practically all these ministries listed in the Formula: retreat work, consoling sinners through confessions, public lectures, and teaching the youth, serving the sick and the prisoners, directly serving the Province as administrator of houses and as formator, as spiritual counselor to many, and saying regular Masses in parishes. All these are ministries that can rightly be expected of a Jesuit. But the amazing thing is that Fr. Mike did all these despite of his physical handicap which resulted from that near-fatal and crippling illness way back in May 1965. That is more than 42 years ago, such a long period of physical difficulties. Many of us Jesuits, even in our good state of health, have not done and probably will not be able to do all of these.

I usually greeted him “Kumusta ang Dakilang Lumpo”, to which he would just smile or laugh and say “Bu-ang ka”. That was Fr. Mike. He carried this physical burden very lightly, which I, and I am sure many of us probably will not be able to endure. I cannot think of this as being chastised only a “little”, as the first reading says, to go through this kind of suffering as the furnace that will bring out the gold in us. He never allowed his physical handicap be a hindrance to the many works for which he made himself available, and which he did full-heartedly.

He never complained about his condition. I thought he might express this to me during my privileged personal encounters with him, during manifestation of conscience, when I was Provincial. The only time he complained, and in a kidding manner, was when he said that the Sisters in the hospital kept praying for him, for which he was very thankful, but forgot to exercise his legs and feet, and so led to the partial calcification of his joints and the atrophy of some muscles.

My first encounter with him in his sickbed was when he was still in a critical condition at the Singian Clinic, a small hospital near Malacanang Palace where Jesuits were usually confined. This was sometime around July 1965, soon after I entered the Novitiate. I discovered only then that he was the Master of Novices, but had to be changed by Fr. Charles Wolf. It was a touching meeting for me, and probably for him too, happily surprised to see me, a student and counselee of his two years earlier, now in a Jesuit habit. He tried to reach out to me with great effort, but was unable to. Then I saw tears flowing down his cheeks.

He was bedridden for several months, with bed sores, practically completely paralyzed, able to recognize people but unable to communicate. The doctors for some time could not agree on what illness he had, whether it was meningitis or tuberculosis of the brain stem, and so the delay in giving him the right medication. Even after he was moved to Loyola House in late 1965 or early 1966 for recuperation and therapy, he still had to suffer the pain of the physical therapy itself, and the embarrassment of having someone present when he was on the toilet, and with someone washing him and dressing him up. It is not given to many of us to endure this kind of physical pain and psychological and spiritual suffering, and come out spiritually whole.

I do think Fr. Mike would not have wanted me to dwell, no matter how briefly, on his suffering, because he himself never did so. He moved around and did his work and ministries as if his disability was ordinary and not really a burden. However, with my apologies to you Mike, I still do so now because how he carried himself and maintained a cheerful disposition, quick to laugh at himself and others, revealed to us such a deep faith and trust in the Lord, such a profound spiritual life. For all we know, Fr. Mike suffered darkness of faith and experienced the absence of God. If he did, he kept this to himself. He was not one given to self-pity. And throughout all his life, he centered his daily spiritual life in the Eucharist and nurtured this with his devotion to Our Lady.

All his Jesuit life he expressed his love for the Society, thankful for his vocation and of course for the care given him. In his own way, he promoted vocation to the Society. He did openly tell young men to consider a Jesuit vocation. He really was happy when he was asked to help in any of the Province ministries. He was a true Jesuit, so available as is obvious to us with all the varied ministries he engaged in. Even late in his age, when he was already in his mid-70s, from time to time he would ask me as Provincial then, if there was anything else I might ask him to do. I could not think of any, not until 1996, when I was hard pressed to look for a replacement for Fr. Pascual Adorable, who died while serving as Director of our retreat house in Mirador, Baguio. Fr. Mike asked to be considered for the work, reminding me that he in fact was Director of Mirador for 5 years in 1973-1978.

And so his last major assignment was as Director of Mirador, at age 74, from 1996 to 2002. Late in 2001, things were not going well any more at Mirador, when some people took advantage of his lack of physical mobility and the trust he had for them, which led to financial and operational problems. Then it was time to tell him that it would be better for him and Mirador that he already rest and concentrate his pastoral and retreat work just around Manila.

Again Fr. Mike showed what it meant to be a Jesuit. It fell upon me, both as Province Treasurer to whom he was reporting, and as friend, to communicate to him the decision of superiors. We did not want to hurt him, knowing that his heart was still in that work.

I was afraid it was going to be difficult, aware that Fr. Mike can be stubborn and “masungit”. We all know this. But in the end, he actually made it easy for me. It took me some time, after 2 or 3 visits to him, to kind of prepare him, before finally communicating the mind of the superiors. Of course he disagreed, spoke his mind and protested, and expressed his desire to stay on. But in the same breathe, he accepted the decision. While it was not a matter of formal obedience, Fr. Mike did show the true spirit of Jesuit obedience.

The Gospel reading we just heard is fulfilled in Fr. Mike. Like that of mere children Our Lord speaks of, the faith and spirituality of Fr. Mike grew in simplicity that goes with a maturing spiritual life and an ever deepening relationship with God. It was this simplicity of faith which he possessed when he finally accepted the invitation of the Lord to “Come to me all you who are weary…and I will refresh you…Your souls will find rest.” It was actually a year and a half ago, I believe, that he accepted this invitation of the Lord to finally rest his weary soul, when he was brought to the hospital with serious medical complication. There I visited him and I was reminded of that visit to him at Singian clinic 42 years ago, because while he showed recognition, he could no longer communicate this. He simply smiled when reminded that I was his “Bu-ang” friend. From then on his health deteriorated.

So Mike, dear brother Jesuit and friend, we are happy that now your weary soul rests in the gentle caring of the Lord. This is what you had been seeking all your life. As the Lord promised, having been chastised a little and proved in the furnace, now He takes you to Himself. So please do remember us and pray for us you have left behind still burdened by life, remember us your brother Jesuits and the Society you love so much; remember your own family and relatives, those you ministered to in very many ways, those who took care of you and those now gathered around the altar. Yes, do pray for us, now that you are in the immediate and eternal presence, peace and love of the Lord.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

THE PROMISE OF THE FOREIGN

Ateneo de Manila University

In The Promise of the Foreign (Duke University Press, 2005; Anvil Publishing,Inc., 2006), Vicente L. Rafael argues that translation was key to the emergenceof Filipino Nationalism in the nineteenth century. Acts of translation entailed techniques from which issued the promise of nationhood. Such a promise consisted of revising the heterogeneous and violent origins of the nation by mediating one’s encounter with things foreign while preserving their strangeness. Rafael examines the workings of the foreign in the Filipinos’ fascination with Castilian, the language of the colonizers. In Castilian, Filipino nationalists saw the possibility of arriving at a lingua franca withwhich to overcome linguistic, regional, and class differences. Yet they were also keenly aware of the social limits and political hazards of this linguistic fantasy.

Through close readings of nationalist newspapers and novels, the vernacular theater, and accounts of the 1986 revolution, Rafael traces the deep ambivalence with which Filipinos came to regard Castilian. Their belief in the potency of Castilian meant that colonial subjects came in contact with are curring foreignness within their own language and society. Rafael shows how they sought to tap into this uncanny power, seeing in it both the promise of nationhood and a menace to its realization. He thus sheds light on the paradox of nationhood and a menace to its realization. Repeatedly opening borders to the arrival of something other and new, translation compels the nation to host foreign presences to which it invariably finds itself held hostage. (Back coverof The Promise of the Foreign.)

VICENTE L. RAFAEL is Professor of History at the University of Washington. He is the author of White Love and Other Events in Filipino History and Constructing Colonialism, both also published by Duke University Press, and editor of Figures of Criminality in Indonesia, the Philippines and Colonial Vietnam andDiscrepant Histories: Translocal Essays on Filipino Cultures

To the Ateneo community,

Please include in your prayers Mrs. Narcissa C. Ignacio, who passed away early this morning due to CA.

*****

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of JB de la Pena, artist of the University Press, on Monday, September 3, 2007. His ashes will be brought to the Church of the Risen Lord in UP Diliman this afternoon, September 5.

JB worked freelance and was responsible for several of the Press's book covers and designs. If you have ever read or held in your hands a University Press book, received a bookmark invite, or visited our website these last few years, chances are you have seen some of JB's work. The attention and care that he gave to his craft contributed immensely, albeit in a quiet way, to the Press's reputation as publisher of quality books. Although not an Ateneo employee, and perhaps without his knowing it, JB exemplified through his simple life and dedication to his work the Ignatian values of humility in spirit and excellence in service.

Please say a prayer for JB's eternal rest and his family's strength.

Thank you.
