The intermarriage of Chinese settlers and natives produced a new social class of mestizos, with their own distinctive contribution to Philippine society.

It presents this epoch from a comparative and global perspective and draws on interdisciplinary research from an international roster of scholars. Their trailblazing and original research has been skillfully integrated with the foundational studies of William Schurz, Charles R. Boxer, Lourdes Diaz-Trechuelo, Pierre Chaunu, Nicholas Cushner, William Henry Scott, John Leddy Phelan, Luis Alonso Alvarez, Leslie Bauzon, and Benito J. Legarda Jr. among others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMuch care is given to widen the galleons’ scope from the usual Spanish or Sinocentric emphasis by focusing on the daily lives of Filipinos, Mexicans, Peruvians, Japanese, and other Southeast Asian communities that participated in intercontinental exchanges. The book also eludes the usually reductive and standardized narratives of silk-for-silver or Filipino slaves-for-Spanish friars exchanges by focusing on multidimensional aspects of cultural dynamics, \u003ci\u003emestizaje\u003c\/i\u003e (hybridity), cuisine, gender, sexuality, and shipbuilding technologies. The authors adopt a fresh approach by emphasizing the agency of the galleon trade’s ordinary participants through the surfacing of many of their haunting stories, which have been traditionally marginalized, ignored, or suppressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn particular, \u003ci\u003eThe World of the Manila–Acapulco Galleons\u003c\/i\u003e highlights Southeast Asian, Latin American, or Pacific responses to Spanish incursion—whether collaboration, transculturation, or resistance. The study of a 250-year transpacific exchange makes for propitious reading inasmuch as these transnational dynamics have been as relevant over the past five centuries as they are today. Enriched with the most comprehensive registry of 798 galleon voyages and more than two hundred images, the book makes for a thought-provoking, relevant, and up-to-date contribution to the study of this fascinating era in world history, culture, and trade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis book is the inaugural publication of the Museo del Galleon and marks the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2017.

Returning to Spain in 1890, he founded an anti-Solidaridad periodical to combat the increasingly nationalistic propaganda of Filipino intellectuals. As a deputy in the Spanish parliament and an active journalist, he debated the Philippine Revolution as it raged in two stages. A contemporary and erstwhile enemy of Filipino hero José Rizal, Retana publicly retracted his anti-Filipino thoughts after Rizal’s tragic execution by penning the first monumental biography of the Filipino national hero as a spiritual expiation of what he considered as Spain’s gravest mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vibal Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Hardbound","offer_id":12421860720717,"sku":"0706-6","price":2860.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Softbound","offer_id":12421866684493,"sku":"0705-9","price":2420.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1603\/7047\/products\/El-Periodismo_Front_Cover.jpg?v=1530590377"},{"product_id":"fabian-de-la-rosa-and-his-tiimes","title":"Fabian de la Rosa and His Times","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEditor\/Contributor: Ana Maria Theresa P.

Unaccountably, our cultural writers have neglected Fabian dela Rosa, though he dominated Philippine painting—as both practitioner and teacher—in the first third of the twentieth century. It was the homegrown Fabian dela Rosa—rather than the European-trained Juan Luna and Felix Resureccion Hidalgo—who brought to full flower the indigenous tradition of “vigorous gene pictures and elegant portraits” that had fluorished in the nineteenth century. It is the exuberant and romantic Fernando Amorsolo who represents this era in the popular imagination, but a painting like Planting Rice (on the cover) shows off the crisp virtuosity of Fabian dela Rosa’s more austere palette.

It now appears in the light of rigorous scholarship that he truly stands tall, on the same pedestal as Juan Luna and Felix Resureccion Hidalgo. They belong to the same generation and all three have truly laid down the foundation of our contemporary art as is generally accepted now. But more than a superb craftsman, Fabian dela Rosa also articulated in precise and unequivocal terms the need for freedom—not as an abstract political ideal—but as the very essence with which a national identity is formed. In his essays on the background and development of Philippine culture, he points to this crucial and organic matrix in the birthing of the Filipino nation—an objective which many in this generation’s artists need to be reminded about.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eF.

This explosion of cinematic works that are outrageous and queer, radically political, quixotic, as well as quizzical have pushed the boundaries of Philippine cinema and heightened its visibility in the international scene.

The essays in this treasure trove expose not only the material conditions but also the psychic, political, and ontological upheavals of these marginalized subjects brought about by years of colonization, diasporic mobility, cultural dissent, governmental and church intrusions, and mediated globalization. Ranging from the contradictions of intimacy brought about by new social media apps to the ambivalent position of “queer” as an analytical framework, the capacious range of this collection will surely be a crucial vantage for animating, inspiring, and shaping future political coalitions, cultural productions, and scholarly research agendas.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e—Martin F.

Seeking further creative challenges, he eventually concentrated on interior design, creating distinctive residences for Manila’s A-list while designing upscale stores and restaurants. A request to do a 2012 show for the fiftieth anniversary of his alma mater, Slim’s Fashion and Arts School, however, spurred his comeback to fashion design. Such was the acclaim of the show that the Red Charity Gala asked him to do the charity shows for the benefit of the Philippine Red Cross in 2016 and 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh from Ateneo de Manila University, Ricky debuted as a production manager at an Italian publishing and design firm, spending part of the year in the company’s headquarters in Europe where he immersed himself in its arts and culture while producing showcase coffee table books and guidebooks to promote the Philippines. Later, he set up his own creative consultancy studio, creating multi-awarded TV commercials such as Bench’s “A Day in a Sculler’s Life” featuring Richard Gomez, which was recognized as one of the country’s top classic TV commercials of all time. He crafted many of Philippine tourism’s successful promotional campaigns and multimedia shows that were launched in major world cities, including the Philippine campaign in Paris, which successfully secured the bid to host the World Expo. His studio also designed trade show exhibits for the tourism and travel industry abroad including the pavilion for the Philippines, which was designated as the featured country of the Canadian National Exposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoining forces, Chito and Ricky would commence a lifetime of cultivating their mutual love for the visual and performing arts while scouring the globe to educate themselves on high and low art as well as collect fine antiques and objets d’art. An accumulation of their most treasured objects led them to open Juno, a bespoke boutique. Inspired by popular demand, the artistic duo opened lifestyle shops Firma and AC+632 in Greenbelt, Makati, which garnered a following due to their distinctive line of lamps, couture pillows, antique silver, costume jewelry, and accessories that attracted discriminating clientele.
