SUMMARY:Villages on fire from the Revolution of 1896 to World War II
DESCRIPTION:The UP Department of History would like to invite everyone to attend the public lecture of Prof. Greg Bankoff\, Ph.D. (Ateneo de Manila University) entitled Villages on fire from the Revolution of 1896 to World War II. The lecture will be held on March 12\, 2026 (Thursday)\, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM\, at the Silid Balatik\, Pav 2\, Palm Hall\, UP Diliman.\n\nREGISTER HERE:\nhttps://tinyurl.com/VillagesOnFire\n\nABSTRACT\nThe traditional Filipino house was well adapted to its environment—and dangerously flammable. Built of light materials and clustered into barrios\, villages burned quickly and often. A stray spark from a hearth\, a toppled oil lamp\, or a misfired firecracker could ignite an entire settlement. Many fires\, however\, were deliberate. Flame was a weapon of war\, used to intimidate\, punish\, or destroy. Hundreds of barrios were torched during the Spanish and Philippine–American Wars and again in World War II.\n\nYet despite their frequency\, village fires have left little historical trace. Drawing on the Historical Data Papers (1951)\, this study reconstructs a village fire regime shaped by combustible construction\, new technological sources of ignition\, and the recurrent weaponisation of fire. In contrast to the urban “fire gap\,” village fires did not decline but often intensified\, at times catalysing community renewal. Recognising village fire as a distinct category challenges Western fire typologies and broadens the environmental history of fire.\n\nSource: UP Departamento ng Kasaysayan Facebook

SUMMARY:Kampihan Kung Kampihan: Ang Oposisyon\, ang Koalisyon\, at ang mga Tunguhin ng Demokrasyang Filipino
DESCRIPTION:The UP Third World Studies Center\, in collaboration with the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Southeast Asia\, invites the public to Kampihan Kung Kampihan: Ang Oposisyon\, ang Koalisyon\, at ang mga Tunguhin ng Demokrasyang Filipino\, the fourth and final installment of the 2025-26 UP TWSC Francisco “Dodong” Nemenzo Jr. Public Forum Series: Bugso at Bisa ng Magkakasalungat na Pagkilos sa Demokrasya.\n\n📆 DATE: March 12\, 2026 (Thursday)\n⏰ TIME: 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM\n📍 VENUE: Pilar Herrera Lecture Hall\, Palma Hall\, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy\, University of the Philippines Diliman\n📝 REGISTER: https://bit.ly/TWSCKampihan\n\nAlliances and factions are strong political tools. The Dutertes and Marcoses not only continue to grow in popularity but also sustain their political legitimacy through the security granted by their allies and supporters. Despite its dissolution\, the UniTeam has shown the power of what a collaboration of forces can do. Beyond familial labels\, the Philippine government is built on the accumulation of elite interests\, networks\, and favors that mutated the country’s political culture into a nigh impenetrable elite-led democracy.\n\nTo combat this\, an opposition is therefore sought after. Ideally\, a unified one\, free from any ties to the country’s gluttonous oligarchy. A tall order for those already jaded and disillusioned by the outcomes of “tactical alliances.” Instead of realizing a solidified anti-elite opposition\, the best that has come from these progressive forces are fragmented movements and campaigns. With glaring symptoms such as the occurrence of splintered anti-corruption protests\, fractured support for candidates and parties\, disjunct EDSA commemorations\, as well as varying positions on the resignation of public officials\, a solidified opposition to lead popular democracy appears to be far from reach.\n\nNow that Sara Duterte has announced her bid for presidency\, the publics are on their toes to block the punisher’s clan from returning to Malacanang. Thus\, it appears that not only is a united opposition the only collective conundrum for Filipino progressives but so is the resolution for a mutually-agreed upon standardbearer that can trump the Dutertes in 2028.\n\nThe final installment of the 2025-2026 Francisco “Dodong” Nemenzo Jr. Public Forum Series confronts the troublesome predicament of opposition-building. The discussion raises the concerning question of how a corrupt system can be changed with a fragmented progressive opposition—an opposition that often treats its allies as rivals? Is a unified progressive coalition even possible in a symptomatically pluralistic political landscape? How can this fragmentation shape the political climate and democratic mobilization of 2026 going into the 2028 national elections? Who has authority in constructing the composition and goals of this coalition? Can the progressives progress from this dilemma? What would be the democratic agenda of this broad coalition of progressives?\n\nℹ️ Read more about the 2025-25 UP TWSC Francisco “Dodong” Nemenzo Jr. Public Forum here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HRevt83h/\n\nSource: UP Twsc Facebook
