Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 This essay affirms several things. On the one hand, it argues that cosmopolitanism, that is, a praxis of openness and a willingness to engage with the "other" for the flourishing of the humanum, takes up, engages and addresses brewing issues spawned by the globalization process. On the other hand, it also maintains that a Catholic university has a crucial role both in the cultivation and the promotion of cosmopolitan ideals. Furthermore, the article also contends that this decisive role that a Catholic university plays in the development of cosmopolitan consciousness emanates from the very "catholic" character of a university. Here being "catholic" entails being inclusive and being open to the "other" whether these may be different cultures, rationalities, religions, peoples, etc.

In a country wracked by grinding poverty such as the Philippines, entrepreneurs can be potent agents of economic prosperity. But what is less emphasized in many accounts of entrepreneurship is the approach of some entrepreneurs to building enterprises which not merely deliver financial results but also promote the holistic development of the members of the enterprise. This approach can be termed “humanistic entrepreneurship.” The paper examines conceptualizations of humanistic entrepreneurship based on management, leadership, organizational culture and ethics literature. Illustrative cases are presented which show that humanistic entrepreneurship is based on virtues, principles and skills of entrepreneurial founders. A conceptual framework for future research in humanistic entrepreneurship is proposed.

In supporting this thesis, this paper further analyzes the dynamics of the Conference's formal and de facto leadership, and delves into the structure, power-relations, and ideological shifts that resulted from the different political contours it traversed.

The popular discourse pertaining to the colonial experience of the Philippines under the United States is commonly placed within the context of imperialism and its economic motives as a main catalyst for colonial aspirations. The colonial experience, however, is complex and can be explained beyond this conventional view. Colonialism serves as a channel for the accelerated mutation of colonized societies, such that, the colonizers in as much as the colonized are active participants in the dynamics of the colonial encounter. As civilizations interact in a world system, syncretism takes place, which is the blending of elements from different cultural traditions, and the result is that a foreign tradition becomes meaningful in a land far from its origin. Thus, it is possible to re-image the colonizer and the colonized people as beneficiaries of a shared experience. This deviation from the traditional paradigms used to explain the era, has permitted an alternative perspective of looking at colonialism. The paper focuses on the early events that transpired with the initiation and propagation of Protestantism, as a belief system, through various religious missionary groups during the early stages of American colonial rule; how the Protestants in the United States viewed the colonial acquisition of the archipelago; and why were they welcomed by those who first came in contact with them. The intention is to understand the reasons why Protestantism came to the Philippines and give a picture of the role and influence of the early religious programs on the overall schema of the American colonial experience at its onset. By doing so, it is possible to describe the Filipino response to Protestantism as a result of cross-cultural exchanges that has led to cultural enrichment.

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 A conceptual framework is proposed in this article showing how the social capital of a community shapes the innovation performance of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through the exercise of absorptive capacity as the mediating phenomenon between the two. Its significance stems from the unprecedented effort of explaining how community social capital matters in the innovation performance of MSMEs, a departure from previous studies which typically examined market-related or hierarchical social capital in the form of formal networks and directly linking them to firm innovation without due regard to knowledge management within the firm as an antecedent of organizational innovation. The aim is to stimulate further thinking and empirical research on the subject of social capital of a community in an MSME and/or entrepreneurial context.

The Philippine-Malaysia dispute over Sabah was, and still is, a contentious diplomatic issue. In the interest of understanding its complexity (and one cannot discount that someone might be interested in the near future), a bibliographic essay, one that lists all available literature which directly or obliquely deals with the subject, is here undertaken. Thus, this work has compiled a list of books, journal articles, theses, dissertations, and monographs, introduced with brief notes on their publication arranged chronologically and thematically and pointing out some major points that might provoke the reader into engaging into one or more of its debatable aspects. This bibliographic survey in a way assesses the production of knowledge around the PhilippineMalaysia dispute over Sabah.

Poverty remains at the forefront of worldwide concern. Poor communities continue to emerge in marginal places like dumpsites. This study determined economic dependency and assessed the determinants of dependency on garbage in the Payatas Dumpsite, Philippines. About 841 householders in the “with dumpsite” and “without dumpsite” communities of the Payatas estate were systematically sampled and interviewed. Unobtrusive and participant observations were conducted to supplement survey findings. Regression analysis disclosed the determinants of dependency. About 38.90% of respondents were economically dependent on the Payatas Dumpsite, where they work either as scavengers, vendors, or junkshop operators. Significant determinants of dependency were gender, distance to the dumpsite, and education (P < 0.05). All economically dependent activities (scavenging, vending, and operating junkshop) at the Payatas Dumpsite are lucrative in terms of the earned net income, and this dependency is greatly influenced by their distance to the dumpsite, gender, and education.

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The study explores the nature and extent of educational intervention in public universities in the form of the non-academic inputs of student affairs or services. A multi-site case study of seven Philippine state universities was conducted using grounded theory as a vehicle for theory-building. Each site represented different sizes in student population, academic focus, geographic locations and types of location (rural and urban). A total of 107 interviewees including university officials, alumni, students, faculty and student affairs practitioners served as resource persons, with their responses validated against university documents and site observations. The study puts forward a substantive theory on student development. It takes into account the embedded nature of the process of student transformation - itself a product of experience and choice. Student experience is defined by internal and external environmental factors, whereas choice is generated through a decision-making sequence composed of motivation and personal goal formulation. The study finds theoretical grounding in the various fields of psychology, social science, and educational management.
