A TRUE STORY How a family in the Philippines survived Japanese occupation in WWII Commemorating 70 years since the end of WWII (1945 - 2015) Jose Miguel C Fernandez was born in 1884 when the Philippines was still a Spanish colony, and educated during the American Commonwealth. He was a prolific writer of short stories and poems often enjoyed only by his immediate family. He wrote his memoirs giving account of Philippine society at the turn of the century and his memoirs of the Japanese occupation during WWII. Having stumbled onto my grandfather's notes about life during WWII and his escape from Iloilo, I realised that his memoirs deserved to be published in a book. This book provides his witness to historical events and the changes that occurred to Philippine society caused by the war. The book builds on his memoirs of WWII-- with written accounts about the guerrilla involvement of one of his sons, and the recollections about life during the war from the other surviving children. It is a book full of noble love, devotion for family, struggle and strength of character lived under the extraordinary circumstances of war. May there never be another world war "
Imperial Material
An ambitious history of flags, stamps, and currency—and the role they played in US imperialism. In Imperial Material, Alvita Akiboh reveals how US national identity has been created, challenged, and transformed through embodiments of empire found in US territories, from the US dollar bill to the fifty-star flag. These symbolic objects encode the relationships between territories—including the Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam—and the empire with which they have been entangled. Akiboh shows how such items became objects of local power, their original intent transmogrified. For even if imperial territories were not always front and center for federal lawmakers and administrators, their inhabitants remained continuously aware of the imperial United States, whose presence announced itself on every bit of currency, every stamp, and the local flag.

Jose Miguel Fernandez Carino nacio en 1884 cuando Filipinas era una colonia espanola. Escribio sus expansivas memorias en espanol, dando cuenta de la vida en el distrito remoto de Lepanto-Bontoc en la Provincia Montanosa; los Igorrotes, la sociedad de Candon y el comienzo del siglo bajo los americanos. Este libro es su testigo de los eventos historicos y de los cambios que ocurrieron in la sociedad Filipina a causa de la revolucion Filipina, el alzamiento de Candon, y la guerra Filipina-Americana. Pocos pues han sido privilegiados en sobrevivir todos estos cambios y escribir sobre ello de manera tan encantadora como lo ha escrito Jose. El padre de Jose era un espanol de La Mata de Monteagudo, Leon. Este libro es un testimonio de la devocion filial que tenia para su padre, Francisco Fernandez Tejerina."
Tourism, Heritage and Commodification of Non-human Animals: A Posthumanist Reflection
Heritage is a social construction rooted in modern and contemporary societies. It is commonly a positive assessment of many elements of the physical and human environment (e.g. ecosystems and landscapes, monuments, customs, gender norms, religious practices, gastronomy, and livelihoods). Heritage and tourism are strongly related to each other in that heritage gives rise to tourist attractions and activities, and tourism enhances the designation of heritage sites. A post-humanist perspective the moral valuation of equality between humans and other animals demands that both are sentient beings and self-aware of their pain and pleasure. Thus, the involvement of animals as heritage elements by t...

Cayan My Memories
The story of a boy who grew up in the Lepanto-Bontoc district of the Mountain Province of Northern Luzon, lived through and witnessed the major historical upheavals of the 19th century in the Philippines, and lived to write about it all. Few indeed have been privileged to live through these events and write down memoirs as vividly and endearingly as Jose has done.
