E.B.A.A. - NATIONAL LEAGUE"This was the championship team back in 1959, and they ranged from 6th grade through the 8th grade," said Joe Robertson, one of the youth in the picture. "Back in those days all the businesses sponsored teams."
The photo - along with a basketball team photo from 1963 that includes Joe's younger brother Tommy - are on display over the tables at Jiffy Market, the family store in South Eugene started by their parents.
"Somebody from Kidsports sent somebody down here to see if we had any old photos of one of our teams back when we were in the EBAA - the Eugene Boys Athletic Association," Joe explained. "So we found 2 or 3 of them and brought them down and they took them out for their Kidsports 50th anniversary and they blew them up and brought these back to us, so that was kind of nice of them."
Joe's brother Tommy decided to put the photos up. They've become conversation pieces.
"What grade were you in? Who are you in the picture?" customers ask, Joe said. "They can't figure out which one I am. They can pick him out pretty easily."
"I think most of the people who look at it don't realize that we're that old," Tommy said.
His 13-year-old self is standing in the front row with high-top socks hiked all they way up to his knees. "They hid my hairy legs," he said.
"This is from the Roosevelt Junior High School basketball team, 1963. We were the Rough Riders," Tommy explained. "We didn't have computers, so yeah, we had to play sports."
That year coincides with a landmark date for the Robertson family.
"It's the first year that my mom and dad started Jiffy Market," Tommy said. "I actually worked here then as a box boy, and I'm still here 50 years later."

Cutting 100 Calories at a Time
Trying to cut back on calories? If eating fewer calories is a challenge that seems too difficult, cutting 100 calories at a time might be an easier way to lose unwanted pounds for a healthier weight and cancer prevention.
Eating slightly more calories than you burn can pile on unwanted pounds over time. But the opposite is also true. Eating 100 fewer calories per day can help you maintain a healthier weight and lower risk of diseases like cancer.
Researchers at the University of Colorado in Denver investigated different ways study subjects chose to cut 100 calories a day from their diets. The most common methods included:
- leaving 3-4 bites on the plate
- switching to lower calorie drinks
- switching from snack foods to fruits or vegetables.
Even though the subjects were asked to cut 100 calories a day, many ended up cutting more during the short two-week term of the dietary part of the study.
"The small change approach appears to have a better chance to be maintained, especially in regard to the prevention of weight gain," wrote the study authors, led by James O. Hill, PhD, director of the America On The Move Program.
Forbidding Foods May Backfire
The general idea is to cut back on foods that are more concentrated in calories foods that, bite for bite, contain more calories from fat and/or sugar (such as a piece of chocolate) than the same amount of a naturally low-calorie food (such as an apple).
Yet cutting calorie-dense foods out completely may backfire, says AICR Nutrition Advisor Karen Collins, MS, RD. "When you make a food forbidden, it can become all the harder to give it up on a long-term basis," Collins says. "That food often becomes the go-to food when you feel stressed.
"Instead, first figure out which particular foods you struggle with most in this way," she suggests. "Then be sure to include a little of them on a regular basis so you don't feel deprived. Eat these foods at normal, unemotional times. By making them 'regular' foods, we can reduce their emotional impact."
Lightly Trimming Your Calories
If you need to cut calories, try thinking a little smaller, Collins suggests. Here are a few examples of food amounts that have approximately 100 calories and substitutions you can make to cut 100 calories:
- 1 medium slice of bread. Eat an open-faced sandwich using one slice of bread instead of two.
- 1 Tbsp. oil or butter. Substitute half the oil in dressing with nonfat, reduced sodium chicken broth or 100 percent fruit juice.
- 2 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese. Grate only 1 ounce of cheese to make it go further.
- 1 cup vanilla nonfat yogurt (sweetened with sugar substitute). Switching to non- or low-fat versions of dairy foods can cut calories.
- A "mini" bagel (1/3 the size of a standard 4-inch bagel). "Mini" sizes of items, including pre-measured 100-calorie packages of crackers or cookies, can satisfy your taste for the larger item.
- 3 cups air-popped popcorn (without butter). Plain popcorn can be a great low-calorie snack that provides fiber and less fat than chips or popcorn with butter.

The objective of kernel mode setting is not to put a full blown xserver
in the kernel. The goal is to optionally allow the kernel to take
enough control of the hardware to for example avoid flickering when X
starts. As it is now, if you get a panic while in X, it results in
either an obscure system hang or spontaneous reboot. In my opinion one
of the key advantages of kms, will be the ability to get panic messages
out to the user/developer while in graphics context. It should also
allow us to have a nice pretty graphical boot if we choose to, think
OSX. Another advantage that we get will be an improved ability to
handle suspend/resume events. This will also benefit folks who have to
use the vesa fb now. As I said, I haven't really scoped the work yet,
but much of this is already in drm, it just depends on the X server to
tell drm what to do.

BOWLING GREEN - Ryan Carter has said it over and over again.
The Clyde coach's team got to Bowling Green for the Region 8 Finals on the strength of its defense.
So perhaps it was fitting - even in a game where 83 points were scored - that the Flier D make the deciding play.
Article Photos
With Clyde clinging to a 42-41 advantage over reigning Division II state champion Toledo Central Catholic and the Irish 10 yards from the end zone with less than a minute left in regulation, that play happened.
Toledo Central Catholic quarterback DeShone Kizer, facing a third and seven, rolled and then attempted to run. He got inside the 5 and was close to a first down.
But before he was tackled, the ball came lose.
"We knew they were gonna run it some of the time to get the clock down," said Clyde linebacker Kade Long, the nephew of former Flier star and current Columbian wrestling coach Chad Long. "We saw him gaining, and we knew we had to take a shot at him just to get the ball back, and it worked. It went our way."
Only one person in Clyde knows who forced the fumble, and only one person knows - for sure, anyway - who recovered it. But that person didn't speak up after the game.
Or, if he did, he was drowned out in the ensuing celebration.
But Clyde pounced on the loose ball with less than 50 seconds left at about its own 4. And - after some more drama - the Fliers pulled off the shocking upset.
"Defense got the play," Carter said. "Offense put up enough tonight, it was kind of nice."
But it wasn't over, even after the turnover. The Irish had preserved all three of their timeouts, so the Fliers weren't able to run out the clock.
And, with the ball inside the 5, they couldn't afford a safety either.
"Just had to go out there and keep everybody calm," said Clyde quarterback Tim Hoppe, who outplayed Kizer, a Notre Dame commit, Friday. "We did it. We executed."
But it was close. The Fliers endured an offensive penalty, and were pushed back to the point where running back Damian Coburn had to work just to get out of the end zone on a carry.
It led to a third and 12 from about the 1. The Irish had a timeout, and Carter opted for a pass. Hoppe didn't complete it, but Toledo Central Catholic was flagged for defensive holding.
"Aggressive call by them," said Irish coach Greg Dempsey. "They went after the win."
The 10-yard penalty set up another third down, and this time Coburn plowed the needed two yards. First down. Game over.
Kizer received much of the hype coming in, and he was outstanding, with 119 yards rushing, 210 yards passing and one TD pass.
But Kizer also was responsible for two turnovers. The fumble at the end of the game and a practically meaningless interception just before halftime.
"This poor kid's over here thinking (the fumble) is the play," Dempsey said. "It isn't the play. Look at how many plays got us down there and gave us a chance."
Hoppe had a game that will live on in Clyde history. He threw for 364 yards and five touchdown passes. Three of the scoring plays went to Derek Gray, whose individual numbers were just as impressive. Gray had eight catches for 237 yards, including a 74-yard catch-and-run for a score that gave the Fliers the deciding lead with 3:05 left in the fourth.
Hoppe also threw TD passes to Blake Miller (13 yards) and Coburn (66 yards). Coburn also ran in a touchdown on a fourth and goal from the Irish 2-yard line with 8:49 remaining in the game, which tied things at 35.
Toledo Central Catholic played most of the evening without its top running back, Tre'Von Wade. Wade carried the ball twice early on for eight yards, but a neck injury forced him to the sidelines. Taking his place was Paul Moses, who would have been seen as the game's hero had the result been different.
Moses, who also starts at linebacker, carried the ball 27 times for 133 yards, and scored five touchdowns.
His final one, from nine yards out with 3:27 left, broke a tie and gave the Irish a 41-35 lead. But Patrick Schommer, who was 5 for 5 on extra points to that time Friday, kicked his sixth one wide. It ended up being a critical miss.
Clyde's Austin Baker, the Fliers' offensive star from the week before when he kicked four field goals in a win over Perkins, was 6 of 6 kicking extra points Friday.
Clyde advances to the Division III state semifinals where it plays Trotwood-Madison, which defeated Tippecanoe.
It will mark Clyde's fourth appearance in the state tournament, and its first since 2005.
"Our kids have bought in since Day 1," said Carter, who was hired late in the offseason and also serves as the school's boys basketball coach. "Our aggressiveness was no different tonight than it ever has been.
"Our kids believed we could win, and that's the biggest thing we had to do, was believe we could win."
Two games from a state title, there's no reason to stop believing now

BEECHER, MI -- Teacher cuts and employee concessions are part of an approved deficit elimination plan to cut more than $500,000 from the Beecher School District budget over the next two years.
The state Department of Education approved the deficit elimination plan at the end of September. Daniel Hanrahan, director of the Office of State Aid and School Finance said in a letter to the district that, "The DEP your district developed is largely dependent on staff reductions and employee concession.
"The MDE expects that the projected staff reductions and employee concessions will take place as outlined in the DEP," the letter reads. "Further, the MDE expects that if the district is unable to realize its own planned reductions, it will institute other expenditure reductions in order to meet the fund balance targets entailed in its plan."
Beecher Superintendent Josha Talison has said the district is hoping to dig out of the budget hole within two years, trimming the deficit from $507,365 this year to $180,280 by 2015, with the biggest cuts among instructional staff.
"At this point, it's people," he said, with the DEP pointing out a loss of more than $3 million in federal money for the 2013-14 school year. "There's no $100,000 golden ticket anywhere. It's staffing."
Board of Education members recently voted to eliminate one full-time teaching position and three open positions that were not filled prior to the school year.
The budget cuts to eliminate the deficit are on top of other budget cuts to cover the loss of federal aid.
In terms of cuts for the current school year, $1.165 million will come via instructional staff costs -- or roughly 50 percent of the $2.327 million set aside. Staff reductions will be done according to enrollment figures, Tailson said.
He said administrators have accepted a 1 percent pay reduction, with a cut of around $121,000 this year on general and school administration personnel.
Having approved a new three-year contract with the teacher's union in March as well as custodial, maintenance, transportation, office staff and paraprofessionals, Talison admitted it could be a struggle in getting concessions but was cautiously optimistic.
"If you get a concession from them, it might have the biggest impact, because they are the largest union (in the district)," he said. Marty Zmiejko, head of the Beecher teachers union, could not be immediately reached for comment.
Monthly budget control reports are required to be sent by the district to the MDE, as well as any revisions to the current school year budget within a week's after the school board makes changes.
If the district fails to reach the targeted deficit reduction laid out in any year, the plan will become invalid. Talison said the district should eliminate its deficit by the end of the 2015-16 school year.

Now that she thinks about it, Rosemary Patterson would rather have had a pool in her back yard during her childhood years in Lubbock. She's pretty sure her brother would agree.
That's all the evidence she needs to know her father, Blair Cherry, was a great coach.
"He had a vegetable garden instead of a swimming pool in our back yard and my brother (Judge Blair Cherry) and I never understood that," Patterson said. "But Dad was a real motivator. He could just motivate people to do things. My brother and I planted in that garden, for goodness sakes."
During the 1930s, Blair Cherry's garden was in Amarillo and he cultivated arguably the most dominant football program in the history of the Texas Panhandle.
Part genius, part mad scientist and part blue-collar worker, Cherry produced more than 80 victories and three state championships - make that threeconsecutive state championships - in just seven seasons as Amarillo High's coach from 1930-36.
Cherry's Golden Sandstorm teams dominated just about every opponent during that seven-season span, losing only five games on the field - two more games had to be forfeited during the 1933 season, preventing a likely district championship - while collecting five district titles with a punishing defense and an explosive double-wing offense.
Not bad for a 29-year old who arrived in Amarillo as the second choice for the job. Breckenridge's Pete Shotwell couldn't get out of his contract to take over the Amarillo High job, so the AISD had to - as quoted from the Amarillo Daily News in 1930 - settle for "an unknown coach named Blair Cherry from North Fort Worth."
It might have turned out to be the best second choice in high school football history.
"He was a real go-getter as far as coaching is concerned," said John Sullivan, a center on Amarillo High's first state champion team in 1934 who earned all-state honors that season. "It was his life. At that time, football was first and foremost with him. He wasn't married at that time, but his mother lived with him and it was said by many people - and I'm guilty of it myself - that he might even have moved his mother out of his house to make room for football players.
"He was dedicated to a good football team and he was dedicated to winning."
Cherry's dedication was matched by his erstwhile assistant, Howard Lynch, and the duo literally outcoached teams almost every week. Making the duo even better was that Cherry's stoicism and serious demeanor was offset by a more personable Lynch.
"Sometimes Cherry would make you so mad," Karl Rice, a member of the 1934 and '35 state championship teams, said. "Then Lynch would come over and give you a pat on the back and everything was OK."
During their reign, Amarillo High lost just one game on its home turf of Butler Field and consistently did the little things better to win the biggest games.
Take, for instance, Amarillo High's 19-6 victory against Kerrville Tivy in 1936 to close out the run of three consecutive state championships.
"It seemed like if we were going to play somebody, our knowledge of the team we were going to play was very good," said "Blazing" Bill Thompson, who was a sophomore on that '36 team and went on to a standout career with the Sandies. "Our scouting on Kerrville for that game showed their kicker took only three steps back to punt. We worked out all week long on blocking their kicks."
The result?
Amarillo High's Mike Sweeney blocked two punts, which were recovered for touchdowns by the Sandies in an otherwise close championship game.
"The guy coaching there (at Kerrville) came to coach at Plainview the next year and I guarantee you their punter was standing back 15 yards," Thompson said with a chuckle. "He said Amarillo High would not block any more of his team's kicks."
Though it wasn't always that dramatic, Amarillo High's weekly preparation was meticulous.
That goes for the offseason, as well. Cherry constantly attended coaching clinics to sharpen his knowledge of football, truly becoming a pioneer of the sport during its early days of existence. He lived by the words and writings of such early football coaches at Knute Rockne and Pop Warner.
It translated to the team once September rolled around.
"He was just demanding that you do everything right," Rice said. "You'd just run it and run it and run it until you got it right. He was a precision coach, that's all. We played all of our games then on Saturday afternoons, so we had five days of practice and we'd just run plays and run plays.
The challenges Cherry faced at Amarillo High were immediate.
Though in 1930 he took over a Sandies team that was the defending district champion, he had only two lettermen back for his initial foray into District 1 football - back Burl Bufkin and lineman Mike Montgomery.
Both were standout players, but even the Amarillo Daily News figured Amarillo High would finish no higher than third behind strong teams from Pampa and Lubbock High.
However, Cherry's touch was evident to those watching the team's early workouts, such as this observation from the Daily News:
"As the squad gradually absorbs Cherry's instructions on new plays and formations, they are continually brought to task for violation of some fundamental principle. And while they are gradually being built into a smooth-running machine, they never are permitted to lose sight of the little things."
Rice, who is currently living in Canyon, concurred with that perception.
"If you took a step, it had to be right," Rice said. "He was just that way. He expected you to be a perfectionist."
Despite the low expectations, Cherry's 1930 team won the district title by beating Pampa 2-0 - the safety was set up by a punt that pinned the Harvesters on their own 4-yard line - and tying Lubbock High 0-0. AHS got the nod out of that tie for leading the Westerners 7-0 on penetrations.
Eventually, that team made the state final before falling to Tyler. Despite the loss, Cherry set the stage for his program's dominance.
Lubbock High wrested the district title from Amarillo High in 1931 after a three-way tie between those two teams and Pampa, but the Sandies would never fall to the Westerners again during Cherry's tenure from 1932-36.
The Sandies reclaimed the district title in '32 and made the state semifinals before the ineligibility of a player kept them from repeating the championship in '33.
In 1934, however, they rolled to their third district championship under Cherry and went on to rout Corpus Christi 48-0 for their first state championship, capping off a 13-0 season.
Cherry kept the team on track, winning state championships in both 1935 and '36. A 26-7 home loss to Norman (Okla.) in 1935 - which broke a 54-game home winning streak at Butler Field - was the only blemish on a 29-1 record over those three seasons.
"We had some real good players and I think he just studied the game," said Johnnie Stidger, the quarterback on Amarillo High's state championship team in 1934. "Cherry might have just been ahead of some other fellows who were coaching. I don't know - he just seemed to get things done."
Those qualities attracted many college offers for Cherry, though he almost always turned them down.
Before the 1936 season, in fact, he declined an assistant's position on Jack Chevigny's staff at the University of Texas. When Chevigny resigned that post a few months later, Cherry applied for that opening and in January of 1937 he took an assistant's position at UT under Dana X. Bible.
He was married to Florence Snodgrass about that same time - right after the 1936 state championship - and went on to accept the position under Bible. While at UT, he and Florence had two children, Blair Jr. and Rosemary, who saw their father in action as a UT assistant for seven years and as the head coach for four years.
"I don't pretend to understand the tactics of football, but I know Dad was a thinker and a tactician," said Rosemary Patterson, whose son, John, was a standout track athlete for Tascosa in the 1980s. "I do remember in my childhood that he would think and pick up any piece of paper, like my homework, and jot down things - just these Xs and Os with arrows drawn around.
"I used to be appalled that I had to take homework to school with all his Xs and Os all over it."
Cherry did achieve a level of success in Austin, including a Southwest Conference title in his final season of 1950 and victories in the 1948 Sugar Bowl and 1949 Orange Bowl.
When he quit at UT following the '50 season, though, he said he never should have left Amarillo High in the first place.
"This is the biggest mistake I ever made," Cherry said then. "I should have stayed at Amarillo High School. I would have had something if I had stayed there. . . . Amarillo did a lot more for me than I did for Amarillo."
Amarillo gave a home to Cherry, even though he only lived in the city during his coaching tenure from 1930-36 - and a little bit of 1937 before he went to Austin.
After quitting at UT, Cherry moved to Lubbock and began work in the oil business with younger brother, Alton.
Still, he had an affinity for the place where he made his initial fame and started his family after growing up as a youth in Weatherford and playing football for Texas Christian's first Southwest Conference team.
In fact, Cherry is buried today in Amarillo (he died in 1966) alongside his wife, Florence.
"He just loved all the people up there," said son Judge Blair Cherry, who lives in Lubbock. "It's where he met my mother and where they were married. I think he always felt like his time in Amarillo was the highlight of his career. I think he was always happiest with what he did in Amarillo."
Likewise, Amarillo High football has never had a happier than the seven seasons when Cherry roamed the Butler Field sidelines.

Born free and taxed to death. The Jersey City council recently approved a budget increasing our taxes for the second consecutive year and has done so during the most difficult economic times since the Great Depression. A 30 percent hike in property taxes is more than a kick to the stomach. For many, it's the kick that will send them to the curb, literally, with a tax lien notice in hand.
When so many residents are currently unemployed, it is astonishing to see the city's budget include an increase for payroll. Such swelling of salaries includes non-critical services like: the Mayor's Action Bureau, Department of Recreation's Director's Office, Communications, and Commerce departments.
There are city employees who continue to bank unused vacation time amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The total budget damage for "accumulated absences" is $7 million, and that figure increases each year.
For those fortunate to remain employed and work for private industry, they have been asked to do more with less. For too long public employees have been coddled and spoiled with gold-plated retirement and health plans and generous perks like city vehicles. Some public servants, unabashedly, collect multiple paychecks. It's time they share our pain.
A good place to start is to reintroduce Councilman Steven Fulop's referendum prohibiting government employees from collecting more than one taxpayer-funded salary. The City Council must pass this ordinance, now, or surely they will find themselves kicked to the curb of City Hall, post election.

A Philadelphia jury said Honda should pay $55.3 million to a York, Pa., resident who was badly injured in 2010 when his Acura Integra rolled over during a crash while he was en route to work in Maryland.
American Honda Motor Co. said it would appeal Thursday's decision.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Carlos Martinez, 57, was working as a glazier for a construction company at the time of the accident, but now must use a wheelchair, according to his attorney, Stewart Eisenberg. Martinez can lift his arms slightly but cannot use his hands, Eisenberg said. Martinez and his wife have four children.

Guillermo Rigondeaux made a statement on Saturday evening at the Cotai Arena in Macau, blasting out the woefully overmatched Sod Kokietgym in just one round to retain his unified super bantamweight championship.
The 33-year-old Cuban proved once again that he is an immense talent who is capable of producing exciting moments, but questions linger about whether or not this performance will return him to the good graces of his promoter Top Rank and the major television networks.
Rigondeaux's victory was not televised live on American TV—HBO won't even show it on tape delay despite picking up the other main bouts on the card—but it has been picked up by Spanish-language station UniMas, which will replay it later on Saturday.
The aversion to televising Rigondeaux has largely been due to his safety-first style, which has helped produce some real stinkers over the past couple of years. That wasn't a problem on Saturday in Macau, but few are likely to be excited about the blowout of an overmatched opponent, especially when you couldn't see it live.
But still, Rigondeaux does possess two world title belts at 122 pounds, and that makes him attractive to potential opponents. And if he can't find someone willing to try and take those from him, he recently expressed a willingness to move up in weight.
All that said, these are the five best options for his next fight.

THE retail price of the 93 grade of petrol will drop by 13c a litre from next Wednesday, the Department of Energy said on Thursday. The 95 grade of petrol will fall by 15c/l, giving motorists some relief in the new year.
A litre of the 95 grade of petrol will cost R11.86 in Gauteng from January 2, and R11.51 at the coast.
The recently announced petrol prices for January follow a 9c/l drop this month.
Diesel with 0.05% sulphur will fall by 27.58c/l, while the diesel with 0.005% sulphur will fall by 28.58c/l.
Illuminating paraffin (wholesale) will drop by 17c/l and there will be a 23c/l decrease in the single maximum national retail price for illuminating paraffin.
The maximum retail price for liquefied petroleum gas will drop by 9c/kg.
The fuel decreases were boosted by the rand, which strengthened compared with the previous period when prices were determined.
The department reported that the average rand/dollar exchange rate for the period November 30 to December 26 was R8.68/$, compared with R8.83/$ during the previous period.
A firmer rand offsets the pressure of higher oil prices.

Ex-CCP Exec Says Globalization Has Ill Effects on Cultureby noelbarcelona (arts | cultural hegemony | cultural imperialism | ill effects on culture | imperialism | nanding josef | neoliberal globalization)
Cultural worker, actor and art activist Fernando "Nanding" Josef talks about globalization and cultural imperialism. He insists that both are detrimental to the indigenous arts and culture of the Filipinos.
For Fernando "Nanding" Josef, former vice president and artistic director of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), globalization has adversely affected the development of local arts and culture.
Josef resigned last year from his leadership posts at the CCP in support of Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada Jr., one of the star witnesses to the controversial National Broadband Network (NBN) deal between the Philippine government and China's Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Company Limited (ZTE). The said project was marred by allegations of under-the-table deals.
In an interview on Jan. 31 at the CCP grounds, Josef said that globalization has empowered the already powerful countries, while disempowering the underdeveloped nations such as the Philippines.
"Isang masamang aspect ng globalization ay y'ong negative effect sa maliliit na bansa. Parang sa globalization, mas nagbigyan, o na-empower lalo ang mga powerful countries. Maski doon sa economic aspect of globalization, laging talung-talo ang mga mahihirap na bansa" (One of the negative aspects of globalization is its ill-effect on small countries. Under globalization, it seems, the powerful countries became more empowered. Even in the economic aspect of globalization, the smaller countries always lose), he said.
"So doon sa aspect na 'yon, mayroong ill-effect ang globalization pati na rin sa kultura, I think. Kasi, parang iyong phenomenon ng globalization, nawalan ng safety measures to protect the indigenous cultures of the different countries. Parang naging open, na-dilute yata, hanggang ngayon, I think, nadi-dilute ang cultural values ng iba't ibang bansa, napapasukan ng mga values that are too Westernized"(On that aspect, globalization has an ill-effect also on [the local] culture. Because, it seems, in the phenomenon of globalization, the safety measures to protect the indigenous cultures of the different countries are lost. And the cultural values of the different countries, I think, are being—and continuously being—diluted, and becoming influenced by cultures that are too Westernized), he explained.
Thus, he said, the indigenous cultures have become endangered.
However, globalization had its positive effects as well, he said.
"Mayroong mga advantage [ang globalization], in a sense that na yung mga bansa naman na may common grievances, nagkakaalaman na pare-pareho ang plights natin at I think, that also motivates them to come together and empower themselves [to counter the negative effects of globalization]" (There are advantages [in globalization], in a sense that the countries which have common grievances consult each other and share their experiences, and that motivates them to come together to empower themselves to counter the negative effects of globalization), he furthered.
Cultural imperialism: fruit of neoliberal globalization
Josef also assailed cultural imperialism.
Herbert Schiller (Nov. 5, 1919 – Jan. 29, 2000), an American media critic, sociologist, author and scholar, defined cultural imperialism as "the sum of the processes by which a society is brought into the modern world system, and how its dominating stratum is attracted, pressured, forced and sometimes bribed into shaping social institutions to correspond to or even to promote the values and structures of the dominant center of the system."
Schiller said the US is the number one promoter of this practice. Its motivation, says Schiller, is the US desire for access to foreign markets and the belief in the superiority of American culture.
"Ay, naku! Nakikialam ka, pinakikialaman mo y'ong kultura ng may kultura at ipinapasok mo y'ong sarili mong kultura" (Cultural imperialism is meddling in another country's cultural affairs and imposing one's own culture), Josef said when asked for his own definition of cultural imperialism.
He said cultural imperialists boast that their culture is superior to other cultures to lead other nations into setting aside their own cultures and accept foreign ones in their stead. (Bulatlat.com)

Sa tingin ko, malamya pa ngang termino ang "dilute." ang mas angkop na salita, para sa akin, bastardization. Totoo, ibinabandera nila ang kanilang kultura bilang superyor sa lahat at pinakadalisay laluna kaugnay sa "demokrasya." Sa kabilang panig naman, ginagamit naman nila ang kultura ng iba tangi kung may tubo silang makukuha dito. Sa kabuuan, lahat ibinababa sa antas ng kalakal, tinitingnan bilang kalakal, kung kaya inilalako.

The Impact and Continuing Influence of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution on the New Democratic Movement in the Philippines
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (GPCR) in China from 1966-69 came at a time when the patriotic and democratic mass movement in the Philippines had stirred back to life and was gaining new-found vitality. This resurgent mass movement was in the form of a national democratic revolution that drew inspiration from the victorious Chinese new democratic revolution .
Like pre-1949 China, post-war Philippine society was semi-feudal and semi-colonial. The big compradors and big landlord classes dominated the backward, agrarian, pre-industrial economy. The Philippines was granted nominal independence by its US colonial master in 1946, but US imperialism retained control of the Philippine economy and dominated its political life. As in China, the new democratic revolution in the Philippines aimed to liberate the country from imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism.
Dr. Alice Guillermo, a leading Fiipino authority on Marxist theory on art and literature, wrote:
The ideas of Mao Zedong have been particularly relevant to the Philippines and the Third World because of the parallelism in the social conditions of China during its revolutionary period and those of the Philippines which is still at present engaged in a protracted revolutionary struggle
The resurgence of the anti-imperialist and democratic mass movement in the 1960s sparked an acrimonious political debate among various organizations claiming to be progressive and nationalist on the need for armed struggle, the nature of US imperialism, and the character of the local ruling classes. Certain organizations that claimed to be Marxist-Leninist, anti-imperialist and democratic carried the line of reformism and parliamentary struggle, and rejected armed struggle as premature and adventurist. They insisted that "US imperialism and the Marcos ruling clique are serious about carrying out genuine land reform and industrialization, as in Taiwan and Korea"…and that "the Philippines should first become capitalist before a socialist revolution can be carried out…"
The debate extended to international issues, such as the question of socialism and modern revisionism, and in particular the rift between the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and the Communist Party of China (CPC). Those organizations that claimed to be Marxist-Leninist and anti-imperialist but rejected armed struggle aligned themselves with the CPSU, while those that called for a new democratic revolution with a socialist perspective aligned themselves with the CPC and adopted Mao Zedong Thought as a guiding theory.
The Students Cultural Association of UP (SCAUP) was formed in 1959 by Jose Ma. Sison, then a professor in the University of the Philippines. The SCAUP started as a student organization fighting for academic freedom against obscurantism, clericalism and red-baiting. It was the SCAUP that spearheaded the first massive student protest actions against the Macarthyist witchhunt that sparked the resurgence of the democratic mass movement.
Eventually, the SCAUP became a vehicle for (1) nationalist and patriotic consciousness and ideas, (2) scientific and progressive viewpoints and principles from the West and from patriotic and revolutionary movements in Asia, Africa, and Latin-America. Discussion groups (or "DGs" as they would later be popularly known after they had proliferated among the studentry, faculty and other sectors) were formed to discuss the ideas of Filipino nationalist and anti-imperialist personages such as Claro M. Recto, Lorenzo Tanada, Renato Constantino and Jose Ma. Sison, and various symposia were held on such issues as the US war of aggression in Vietnam. The more advanced members and activists studied the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao.
The SCAUP activists would first form the core of the Kabataang Makabayan (KM)/ (Patriotic Youth) which was established in November 1964. In his founding speech, Jose Ma Sison first enunciated clearly the new democratic or national democratic line of the Philippine revolution . Like the new democracy line of China, it identifies US imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat nationalism as the basic problems of Philippine society. US imperialism and the ruling reactionary classes, the comprador big bourgeoisie and the big landlords are the principal targets of the revolution. The leading force is the working class, represented by its vanguard party. The main force is the peasantry. Together, they form the basic alliance for the revolution. This basic alliance, along with the petty-bourgeoisie, constitutes the basic forces. The basic forces, along with the national bourgeoisie, form the positive forces of the revolution. The main content of the Philippine revolution is agrarian reform. The national democratic revolution is the first stage of the Philippine revolution. The second stage, the socialist revolution, starts the moment the national democratic revolution is won and the reactionary ruling classes are overthrown. Thus, the new democratic revolution is a continuation of the 1898 Revolution against foreign domination and feudal oppression. But it is a different or new type of national or bourgeois democratic revolution because it is led by the working class and not the bourgeoisie, and because it has a socialist, not capitalist, perspective.
Thus, prior to the GPCR, there already existed a "core" of cadres and activists who were well-versed in Mao Zedong Thought and the Chinese revolution. They were also aware of the struggle between the CPC and the CPSU over the question of modern revisionism, socialist construction and socialist revolution. They avidly followed developments in China as well as in other socialist countries by listening regularly to Radio Peking and reading Peking Review and other materials from China.
Armando Liwanag, Chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines, (CPP) points out :
The works of Comrade Mao Zedong were scarce in the Philippines before the decade of the '60s. As early as the late '30s and during World War II, some of his works on the united front and armed struggle were already available to the comrades in the Chinese bureau in the Philippines. But these remained in the Chinese original. It would be through the efforts of the proletarian revolutionary cadres themselves that the works of Comrade Mao Zedong became readily available, with the assistance of Indonesian and Chinese comrades, at the time of the Great Leap Forward and subsequently the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.
In this sense, the GPCR became an added catalyst in the ideological, political and organizational formation (birth?) of the Philippine new democratic movement.
GPCR ideas and principles find fertile ground in the Philippines
From an outside observer's superficial view, the impact of the GPCR on the resurgent patriotic and democratic mass movement in the Philippines in the latter half of the 1960s was manifest in a small number of student activists suddenly sporting bright red-and-gold Mao buttons, blue Mao caps and Mao jackets, with the "Little Red Book" entitled Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung conspicously jutting out of one of the pockets, chanting slogans and singing songs of apparent Chinese origin.
The Mao pins, caps, jackets and Red Books were brought home by the leading KM cadres – Jose Ma. Sison, Arthur Garcia and Charlie del Rosario – and other student leaders who had gone to China in 1967 and observed the GPCR at its height. They also brought home pamphlets, magazines and other materials on the new democratic revolution and socialist construction and revolution. One of these was a small pamphlet with five short articles – The Five Golden Rays . The pamphlets and materials contained slogans and quotations that were constantly repeated in ordinary conversation, study sessions, criticism-and-self-criticism sessions, chants during mass actions, and activist songs until eventually these became a natural part of the activists' language.
Beneath the surface, the real impact of the GPCR on the Philippine revolutionary movement was more profound. This could be measured and felt in how the ideas and principles enunciated in these materials were embraced, upheld and used as a guide by the revolutionary cadres and activists in understanding and confronting the concrete problems and issues of Philippine society and revolution. Indeed, the ground was quite fertile for the propagation and creative application of MaoZedong Thought in the Philippines in the mid-1960s. To cite some important examples:
• On classes, the class line, class struggle and the two-line struggle. Since Marxism is never taught in a serious way even in the Universities, the notion of classes, class analysis and class struggle has hitherto been vague at best, and often regarded with an anti-communist bias. With the GPCR, such slogans as "Never forget class struggle" and "Take class struggle as the key link" helped prod the Filipino activists to grasp the class line in making an objective analysis of classes in Philippine society and adopt strategy and tactics along the revolutionary class line, especially in United Front work.
• On ideological remoulding. "Serve the people" was perhaps the most resounding and oft-repeated call inspired by the GPCR during the late 1960s and well into the 1970s. Thousands of Filipino activists, mostly from the youth, wholeheartedly cast aside self-interest and ambition to become committed, "fulltime" activists "serving the people wholly and entirely". They saw the need for and practiced criticism and self-criticism, simple living and hard struggle.
"The need for ideological struggle and ideological remoulding—this is the most important lesson from the GPCR that has served our (Philippine) movement well, and made a profound impact in forming the "core" of the mass movement," concludes Prof. Monico Atienza, one of the students who had travelled to China in the 1960s and became a fulltime activist and cadre of the national democratic movement upon his return.
• On the correctness of armed struggle. "To rebel is justified", "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" – These are two of the best known and most often repeated quotations from the "Red Book". Mao Zedong Thought underscored the need for armed struggle in order to overthrow the reactionary ruling system. It debunked the notion of parliamentary struggle as the main form in the struggle for genuine national freedom and democracy.
• On the mass line. "Trust the masses, rely on the masses";"Learn from the masses"; "The people, and the people alone, are the motive forces of history" These quotations address the question, "Who are the real heroes?" and disbuse those of urban petty-bourgeois origin of the notions of superiority. Thousands of students and professionals took these slogans to heart, joined the workers in the picketlines and streamed to the countryside to live and struggle with the toiling masses and never regretted it. Moreover, the slogans underscore the need for self-reliance under conditions of relative geographic isolation and the difficulty of obtaining material support from fraternal and friendly parties.
• On militance and daring in mass struggles. "Dare to struggle, dare to win!"; (Makibaka, Huwag Matakot!) – Mass actions launched by the national democratic activists were conspicuously more militant, daring and "radical" than those of the reformist groups.
• On proletarian internationalism. "Learn from Norman Bethune!" The spirit of proletarian internationalism was constantly underscored by reference to Norman Bethune and by citing the advance and victory of the Philippine national democratic struggle as our most important contribution to the international proletarian struggle
• On the anti-revisionist line and the struggle between two lines- "Bombard the bourgeois headquarters within the party". The GPCR alerted the Filipino activists and cadres to the importance of continuing to wage revolution to advance and consolidate socialism, combat modern revisionism and prevent capitalist restoration.
• On study and correct methods of thinking. "Reform our study!" "Oppose book worship!", "Shoot the arrow at the target." "One divides into two."
Just as in China and particularly during the GPCR where abstract principles and complex ideas are distilled and concentrated into shorter, more easily digestible sentences and slogans, so too in the Philippines these slogans were more easily understood and propagated because they were simple, easy to remember, and, in the first place, appropriate and applicable.
Articles were written on the GPCR and on Mao Zedong Thought in The Activist, the publication of SCAUP, and the Philippine Collegian, the University of the Philippines student organ, and in some other school papers. .
The "Red Book" and the Five Golden Rays
The Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung and The Five Golden Rays are outstanding and indisputable examples of the extent and degree by which Mao Zedong Thought and the GPCR had impacted on the Philippine new democratic movement at its early stage of revitalization.
The pamphlet entitled The Five Golden Rays contained five short articles by Mao with a study discussion after each article. Widely reprinted and constantly read and discussed, it must have been read by each and every activist in the movement dozens of times. Since this pamphlet first appeared in the Philippines, these five articles had been incorporated in the the Basic Study Course (Araling Aktibista) for activists as well as CPP members. It can be seen from the contents of the five articles why these have served as useful guides for ideological remoulding and improving the performance of one's tasks:
• "Serve the People" (Sept 8, 1944) - commends the spirit of serving the people wholly and entirely; putting the welfare of the people above one's own self interest; remoulding oneself, ridding oneself of bourgeois ideology, embracing the proletarian standpoint; to die for the people is heavier than a mountain, to die serving the imperialists and reactionaries is as light as a feather
• "In Memory of Norman Bethune" (Dec. 31, 1939) – promotes the spirit of proletarian internationalism, high sense of responsibility, dedication to work and duty, the spirit of self-sacrifice
• "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains" (June 11, 1945) – importance and decisiveness in persevering in the correct political line; imperialism and feudalism are the mountains that weigh heavily on the people; the masses are the "angels" who carry away the mountains.
• "Combat Liberalism" (Sept 7, 1937) – discusses the need to promote and strengthen principled unity in the organization/movement by combatting liberalism and engaging in principled ideological struggle.
• "On Correcting Mistaken Ideas Inside the Party" (December 1929) – discusses the basis for conducting criticism and self-criticism and fostering ideological remoulding; lists the common mistakes and weaknesses and how to prevent or correct these. .
The "Red Book" – Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung –- was also standard reading and discusssion material for activists from the early 1960s until the late '70s. Every cadre had a copy. There was no working or study group that didn't have at least one, since all the meetings – political, business, educational – would routinely, if not ritually, start with each member picking out a quotation and explaining its relevance to the agenda of the meeting. The discussion leader would then sum up or integrate all the points, usuallly finding the appropriate quotation or quotations from the Red Book. The use of the Red Book tapered down considerably after Lin Piao's downfall and with the official CPC exhortation to read not just the quotations from Mao but the entire articles from which the quotes were taken.
The GPCR had a particularly profound influence on the inner-Party struggle between the Soviet-leaning cadres and the cadres who had been receptive to and studied assiduously Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, and to the re-establishment of the CPP with Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought as theoretical guide. Armando Liwanag wrote:
The inner-Party struggle revolved around the issues of Lavaite subjectivism and opportunism, and Soviet-centered modern revisionism. Inspired by the GPCR (italics mine), the proletarian revolutionary cadres held their ground even more firmly and upheld the line of Marxism-Leninism-MaoZedong Thought. It became inevitabe that in April-May 1967 the proletarian revolutionary cadres decided to leave the old CP-SP merger party and to start preparing for the re-establishment of the Communist Party of the Philippines under the theoretical guidance of Marxism-Leninism-MaoZedong thought.
Not surprisingly, after the death of Chairman Mao and the ascension to power of Deng Hsiao Ping, the attacks and revisions made by the CPC under Deng Hsiao Ping on Mao Zedong Thought gave rise or at least contributed to doubts being raised from within the national democratic forces on the correctness of the national democratic line in the Philippines. Certain elements went to the extent of rejecting and attacking the application of Mao Zedong Thought to the Philippine revolution. Thus, in the 1980s, there was a significant waning in the study and application of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism within the ranks of the national democratic movement, particularly in the CPP.
Fortunately, the greater bulk of the forces remained steadfast in upholding the basic principles of the Party and the revolution, and addressed the erroneous tendencies in the Second Great Rectification Movement from 1992 to 1996. Foremost among the reaffirmed basic principles was upholding the theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as the guide of the Philippine Revolution, the analysis of Philippine society as semifeudal and neocolonial, the correctness of the national democratic line, and the importance of the revolutionary class line.
Thus it can be said that the principles and ideas learned from the GPCR not only were reaffirmed a quarter century later, but that these ideas and principles themselves served as a powerful guide and tool in identifying the erroneous tendencies and rectifying them.
To illustrate the lasting influence of the GPCR on the new democratic or national democratic movement in the Philippines, I would like to quote from the 1996 edition of "Araling Aktibista" (Studies for Activists), the basic course being given to all members of the national democratic mass organizations all over the Philippines. The studies consist of four major parts:
I. Basic Revolutionary Attitudes and the Five Golden Rays
The Introduction to Part I, Basic Revolutionary Attitudes and the Five Golden Rays reads:
Comrade Mao Zedong wrote these articles during the period when the Chinese people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, were waging their national democratic revolution.
In these short works, Comrade Mao clearly described the standpoint, viewpoint and methods of thinking that each revolutionary should have in order to perform one's tasks well. At the same time, he identified major non-revolutionary ideas and actions, and how these can be combatted and rectified.
Although these articles were written at different times and circumstances from 1929 to 1945, in another country, addressed to the Chinese revolutionaries waging their national democratic revolution, the lessons that can be culled from these, just like gold, do not diminish in significance and value over time, wherever they may be brought.
For the entire era of struggle of the oppressed and exploited peoples of the world against imperialism, feudalism and all reaction, the Five Golden Rays serve as a powerful guiding light for anyone who wants to remould oneself, improve the performance of one's tasks, strengthen the organization, and advance the revolution.
It is with this spirit and goal that we, Filipino revolutionaries, study these articles. We should repeatedly and tirelessly read and study the Five Golden Rays. We should strive to make this a living study by firmly relating these to our own experiences.
The Philippine revolutionary practice over the past 40 years or so indicate the validity and continuing relevance of the lessons learned from the GPCR, particularly of the principles of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as guiding theory. At the same time, it must be emphasized that the advance of the Philippine revolution owes primarily to reliance on the Filipino people and perseverance in the correct strategy, tactics, policies and methods of work borne out of a concrete analysis of concrete conditions and the creative application of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to the Philippine situation.
This paper has presented above only a brief overview and review of some events that show the impact and influence of the GPCR on the Philippine revolution. This could however serve as a starting point for a more exhaustive and complete study that must be made to truly set the record straight.

tulad na lang ng binaggit ni kislapalitaptap sa taas, ang panagbenga. galing ito sa salitang kankanae, isang tribo sa Cordillera. isa itong pagdiriwang sa panahon ng pamumulaklak na nangangahulugan ng pagsisimula ulit ng buhay para sa kanila. kung makakapunta ka sa Cordillera at masasaksihan mo ang ilan pang nalalabing tradisyunal na seremonya nila, makikita mo ang napakalaking kaibahan na ng selebrasyon ngayon ng panagbenga na puno na ng tao, may parada ng malalaking float na may mga ads pa ng iba't ibang produkto at lulan ang mga sikat na artista.
at karamihan sa malalaking pista sa Pilipinas, ganito na ang masasaksihan mo. sa esensya, ginagamit ang mga tradisyong ito para ilako at maglako ng iba pang produkto, at nawawala na ang dating kahulugan kung bakit isinasagawa ang mga ito.
by anakngfaraon on March 6, 2009 - 1:43pm
sa mga pistang ganyan, siguro pinapasok na rin ng ads dahil na rin sa kagustuhan ng organizers na kumita either para maibulsa or pwede rin namang para mas mapaganda pa ang pista. (panghila ng mga local/foreign tourists)
gusto na rin kasi ng mga tao ngayon yung may mga artista sa piyesta at pera ang kailangan para sa mga bagay na ganyan. (Kita ko sa news na may mga taartits sa panagbenga). kung nanaisin naman ng mga tao or organizers, pwede namang tanggihan ang advertisers (dahil pinagbawal nga ang banners ng mga politiko sa panagbenga di ba), kaya lang 'di ko alam kung magiging kasing garbo.
kung kaninong kasalanan - hindi lang siguro sa mga malalaking bansa kundi yung maliliit na bansa na naga-allow na mahaluan ang kultura nila. sa bansa natin na mahilig ang mga tao sa imported, madali nga tayong mahaluan.
consequently, dito sa US, ang daming pinoy communities na nagsusumikap i-promote ang kultura natin. may mga pinoy cultural groups nga dito na may mga members na ibang lahi - biruin mo, amerikanong kumakanta ng kundiman!
by diwa on March 6, 2009 - 1:59pm
iyon nga ang mismong mali. nagiging kalakal na lang ang kultura, tulad ng lahat ng bagay. kailangan mas magarbo kaysa nakaraan, kailangan mas maraming gimik, atbp. kasi para kumita. nawala na ang talagang esensya ng pagdiriwang. Halimbawa ang maraming pista ng patron ng iba't ibang lugar, mula religious practice ng mga deboto, nagiging parang perya na.
ngayon, tama ka na nasa tao ang ganoong kaisipan, pero ang tanong, sino bang nagsaksak sa utak nila iyon? doon pumapasok ang papel ng mga colonizers. at sa globalisasyon, lalong tumindi ang atakeng iyon.
by anakngfaraon on March 6, 2009 - 2:48pm
natural na inclination ang improvement - ang pagandahin pa - ang pagarbohin pa. kahit sa sariling buhay, ang hangad ng karamihan ay mapabuti ang kasalukuyang kalagayan.
kung talagang nadi-"dilute" na ang ating kultura dala ng globalisasyon, siguro nagkakaganon dahil hindi aware ang mga tao. (nakakatulong ang mga artikulong gaya nito sa pamamahagi ng impormasyon).
hindi naman masama ang pag-unlad, at sa pag-unlad talagang may mga bagay na nasasakripisyo. kailangan lang pag-isipan kung ano ang mas mahalaga at kung worth it ang sakripisyo. no use pointing fingers at this moment kasi hindi mo na mapipigilan ang globalisasyon. gumawa na lang ng paraan upang ma-preserve ang ating kultura.
by diwa on March 6, 2009 - 4:32pm
ang epekto ng globalisasyon sa kultura ay hindi pag-unlad na pagbabago. nagiging pretext lang ang pagpapaganda, pero sa likod niyon, commodification talaga. isipin mo na lang, ang relihiyon mo, nilagyan ng tag prize. ganoon ang masamang epekto nito.

I didn't know that this article would create such a fuzz.
Anyways, there is a grave misunderstanding about the term "internationalization" of culture and globalization. Globalization is actually an economic term, used in the early 60's (If my recollection is right) to prepare the economies of much aggressive marketing of anything marketable.
Meaning, globalization is the more liberalization of trade and services. This was created by supereconomic powers, esp. the United States of America to be able to expand their market of surplus products and to speed up the disposal of these goods to the "new markets" which are the underdeveloped nations like the Philippines that has no capacity to create their own technology.
They have included cultural products such as literature, art works, music and all, in order to expose beauty; of course, this is superficial.
The influx of "modern" culture, which is the Western culture, was made possible by using massively the media technology such radio, newspapers, television, and now the Internet.
Schiller observed that, the US has aggressively used the media in order to propagate misconceptions and misguidance on culture and have enforced, in full power, the ideas of a "better culture" which is the American culture.
Due this, the hegemony took place. By "modernizing" every aspect of culture and by bombarding the public or the common masa the idea of a "better culture," a more scientific and a more appropriate one, the death of the indigenous cultures become sudden.
But much worse is this: The commodification of culture does not stop in selling festivities, crafts, music and indigenous writings but in "preservation" and "conservation" movements in arts and cultures.
Since the international funding agencies are one way and another, linked to imperialist powers, such as US Aid, Asian Development Bank, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, they have in one way, have made the cultural preservation and empowerment movement just for a show and that some non-governmental and even governmental organizations, become lucrative business for others.
Poor Philippines! Poor world! Down with imperialism!

wala akong sinabi na pag-unlad ang epekto sa kultura ng globalisasyon. ang sinasabi ko hindi masama ang pag-unlad - kung titignan ang globalisasyon in terms of economics, ikaw mismo may magandang nakuha dito - mula sa computer na iyong ginagamit, hanggang sa internet, hanggang sa camera na ginamit mo upang piktyuran ang magaganda mong mata - lahat iyan parte ng globalisasyon. pati na rin ang pagtratrabaho ng mga kababayan natin sa ibang bansa bilang mga OFW upang mapakain ang kanilang pamilya ay parte ng globalisasyon.
ngayon yung tungkol sa dilution ng kultura gawa ng globalisasyon, nasa atin ang desisyon at ang aksyong kailangan upang ma-preserve ang mga ito. ang problema, iilan lang ang aware sa ganito. lumaki ang karaniwang pinoy na may influx ng western/foreign culture - sa mga babasahin, sa musika, sa mga palabas sa tv, sa mga gamit, etc. masyadong intertwined sa araw-araw nating pamumuhay kaya't mahirap ma-realize na "diluted" na pala tayo. at gaya rin ng una kong sinabi, dito nga mismo sa US ay may Pinoy groups na ipino-promote ang kulturang Pinoy, and you have to realize that it's more challenging here. pero nagagawa nila. so dapat sa mismong bansa natin, kaya ring gawin na mai-preserve ang maganda nating kultura.
wala po akong relihiyon at di ko naiintindihan ang ibig mong sabihin ng paglagay ng prize tag dito.

well, ok. mukha namang wala tayong pinagtatalunan kaugnay sa kultura. pero gusto ko lang ilinaw na sa kahit na anong bagay hindi ko pasasalamatan ang globalisasyon. di baleng wala akong kompyuter ngayon kung magiging malaya lamang tayo sa impe. hindi ba kung hindi naman tayo kontrolado, hindi tayo mapipigilan sa industriyalisasyon, edi nakagawa na rin sana tayo ng sariling kompyuter. o kahit pa hindi makagawa ng sarili dahil hindi pa umabot sa ganoong antas, at least, magiging mas patas sana ang katayuan kapag nakikipagpalitan.

MAy isa pang nakakatakot na ginagawa ang globalization.
Isa dito ay ang pinapanatili o pinepreserve ng isang imperyalistang bansa ang pagiging piyudal ng isang bansang kinukuhanan nila ng raw materials.
Dahil sa pagnanais na wag mawalan ng huthutan ng raw material at cheap labor sa mga taniman nila, hangga't maaari ay gagawin nila ang lahat upang patayin ang anumang ideyolohiyang makakapagpa-abante sa mga masang pisante.
Ang piyudal na pag-iisip at kultura kasi ay malaki ang takot sa mga panginoong may lupa....
Halimbawa ang isang mayamang bansa ay malaki ang demand sa mga materyales na sa third world lang makukuha at nagma-may-ari din sila ng mga bulakan, tubuhan o sagingan sa isang third world na bansa (halimbawa), upang manatili ang supply nila ng bulak,tubo o saging, hangga't maaari ay pipilitin ng imperyalista na wag makatakas sa pagkapiyudal ang bansang hinihigupan nila ng dugo. Once na mamulat kasi ang mga host ng mga parasite na ito, maaari silang umabante at lumaban. Maaari silang mawalan ng source ng raw materials kung magkakaganun... Kaya, tignan natin ang ilang bansa sa central america at south america...Hanggang ngayon mas piyudal pa kesa sa pinaka-piyudal na lugar dito sa pinas.
Medyo out of topic pero swak parin sa isyu ng globalisasyon.
Let's Lynch The Landlord
Eto medyo pasok sa topic.....
Pano ang mga lumad na nawawalan ng tirahan sa mga gubat at kabundukan na kinakamkam ng mga imperyalista sa ngalan ng globalisasyon?
Kung ang kanilang kultura, uri ng pamumuhay at sining ay naka-ugat sa kanilang lupang tinitirhan, ano ang mangyayari sa kultura nila pag narelocate o kung mawawala sila sa lupa nila?
by diwa on March 9, 2009 - 6:45pm
actually, swak na swak ito. dapat nga, pinag-isa na lang ang dalawang post dito kaugnay ng globalisasyon. dahil ang economic aspect talaga ng globalisasyon ang tuntungan ng iba pang epekto nito sa iba pang larangan. ito ang nagtatakda at pangunahin. kaya nga marami ang hindi nakakaintindi sa epekto nito sa kultura, kasi iyong mismong esensya nito ang hindi naiintindihan.
by j luna on March 9, 2009 - 7:06pm
Yun nga e di ba? Kambal ang ekonomiks sa kultura...
OO nga pala, ang kultura ng lumad ay nakadikit sa lupang tinitirikan ng kanilang lahi at pinaglilibingan ng kanilang mga ninuno...
Once na maalis sila dito, dahil sa mga proyekto ng mga kapitalista at imperyalista...pinutol na rin ang kanilang ugat...
kahit sabihing ililipat sila sa isang lugar na pwede nilang tirhan at gagamitin ang kultura nila sa reserve o parkeng paglilipatan...iba na yun...
bukod pa dito, bastardized din sila lalo na kung ililipat sila sa parke ng DOT...dahil ang kultura nila at sining ay para sa kanila at hindi para sa mga turista at para pagkakitahan.

Well, hindi na maituturing na hacienda ang mga eco zones. kapag hacienda kasi, mga magsasaka ang pwersa at pinagsasamantalahan. sa mga industrial zones, mga pabrika na ang makikita at sa loob ang mga manggagawa. Sa una, pyudal ang relasyon, sa pangalawa, kapitalistang produksyon ang umiiral. pero magkaugnay pa rin naman ang dalawa. ang una, kailangan nila para sa mga hilaw na materyales, ang pangalawa, para sa mga semi-manufactures.
by j luna on March 9, 2009 - 7:53pm
Kaya ko ginamit ang paghahambing ay di upang tukuyin ang mode of production ngunit upang ipakita ang pang-aabuso sa manggagawa ng maga nagmamay-ari ng kumpanya na (mga kapitalista)
Malinaw naman sa akin ang kuneksyon ng industriyal at kapitalistang estado ( Manggagawa vs Kapitalista)
at ng piyudal na konsepto ng hacienda (pisante vs panginoong maylupa)
mali lang talaga ang nagamit kong figure of speech. pasensiya na.

The Quaker meeting in Chestnut Hill acknowledged Tuesday that its decision to hire a nonunion contractor to build a new meetinghouse raised questions among Friends groups and caused division within its own ranks.
Vandals attacked the Mermaid Lane construction site four days before Christmas, causing $500,000 of damage in what police said was a dispute between union members and the contractor. The vandalism, coupled with summer arrests at the Goldtex construction site on the edge of Center City, has focused attention on Philadelphia's history of labor-related violence.
Nutter administration officials have backed union members' First Amendment rights to picket and protest, but say violence and property damage are unacceptable.
