Over the past decades, numerous studies by both Filipino and foreign scholars have been made on the history of the Church in the Philippines. Such studies will continue to appear especially that the Church in the Philippines had already undergone various historic milestones and events, beginning in the latter part of the 20th century, most notably those that occurred after the convocation of the Second Vatican Council. The convocation of Vatican II and the events that occurred as a result of it alone has opened an opportunity for scholars to study the various effects of the Council’s reforms in the Philippine context, including those that concern the liturgy or the very act of worship to God. Such led to the creation of works which attempted to understand how the Church in the Philippines implemented these reforms and how it affected the way Filipino Catholics worship over time. These works are highlighted in this study. This study aims to make a survey of some of the presently available works written by researchers, which include monographs, articles, and unpublished works, concerning the implementation of the Vatican II liturgical reforms by the Church in the Philippines and its effects on the way Filipino Catholics worship today.

The building of the Santo Niño church is a benchmark event for the study of Philippine architectural history. Apart from the happy fact that this building still stands, are two narratives written by its builder, Fray Juan Albarrán. This Augustinian was assigned as prior to the Cebu convent for two terms, 1735-1737, and 1737-1740. During this time, he planned, oversaw, and completed the rebuilding of the Santo Niño church. His narratives, “Advertencias para obras que se puedan ofrecer en este Convento” (Words of advice for projects that can be offered in this convento”) and “Barias Reglas de Arquitectura” (Various Rules for Architecture) were written between 1735 and the first half of 1736. These texts, which document Albarrán’s experiences in the very early building stages of the church, are perhaps the earliest materials we have to a manual for construction in Spanish colonial Philippines.
圣Niño教堂的建设是菲律宾建筑史研究的一个标杆事件。除了这座建筑仍然屹立不倒的令人高兴的事实之外,它的建造者弗雷·胡安Albarrán写下了两段故事。这个奥古斯丁被分配为之前宿务修道院两个任期,1735年至1737年,和1737年至1740年。在此期间,他计划、监督并完成了圣Niño教堂的重建。他的叙述,“Advertencias para obras que se puedan ofrecer en este convto”(可以在这个修道院提供的项目的建议的话)和“Barias Reglas de Arquitectura”(各种建筑规则)写于1735年至1736年上半年之间。这些文本记录了Albarrán在教堂早期建设阶段的经历,可能是我们拥有的西班牙殖民菲律宾建筑手册的最早材料。

This research will discuss, narrate, and analyze the factors that led to the appointment of the first native Archbishop of Manila and how he responded to the challenges of making the faith timely for the laity during his three-year stewardship guided by Arnold Toynbee’s Challenge and Response theory applied on the micro level. The seat of the Archbishopric of the Archdiocese of Manila was regarded as the premier office to be occupied by any clergy in the Philippines. For almost four centuries, this prime seat was given to foreigners, dominated by the Spaniards. Political and religious factors determined the archbishop-to-be: the patronato real during the Spanish era and the preference of the American officials during the American period. The choice for the episcopal seat took a paradigm shift after the codification of the Canon Law in 1917 when the appointment for the episcopacy rested solely on the Pope’s decision based on the candidate’s credentials. The same Canon Law was in effect on 1949 when the Archdiocese of Manila had its first native Coadjutor-Archbishop. The native clergy who was the designated successor of the ailing Archbishop Michael O’Doherty was Gabriel M. Reyes, an Aklanon, formerly of the Archdiocese of Cebu.

The utilization of various forms of pedagogy has been accentuated far and wide as a significant component of the educative process and student formation. However, the exclusive exercise of traditional pedagogy in the classroom has been widely criticized since it is geared to produce would-be theoretical and technical specialists who cannot confront the ethico-moral forces of their undertakings. Today, more than ever, prior studies have repeatedly typified that a greater emphasis must be accorded to morally inclined and culturally sensitive pedagogies. This article attempts (1) to portray how educators can anchor on the precepts of Thomistic Prudence to cultivate the Pagpapakatao (Humanity) and Pagkakakilanlan (Identity) of learners through the exercise of Reflexive Pedagogy and Hidden Curriculum in the classroom; and (2) to provide an insightful characterization as to how the Filipino philosophical lens and cultural configuration will come into play as the educators attempt to carry out the Western educational modalities in a collectivistic society such as the Philippines.

The Catholic Church enjoys the right to proclaim moral principles even in the social order and to defend fundamental human rights at all times (c. 747 §2). The papal prayer intention of April 2021 once again brings to the fore, the ecclesial right to safeguard human rights, those that have been agreed upon within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but continue to be violated. The article examines the social and ecclesial implications that are inherent in the exercise of the ecclesial right. This includes the participatory role of every level of ecclesial governance from the papal magisterium to the lay faithful to promote and defend fundamental human rights, and to denounce violations to human dignity and values. The text presents three pastoral indications in accordance with the norm of law and magisterial teachings, to promote the ecclesial right to protect human rights.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is opposed by the Catholic Church because it replaces the conjugal act. However, IVF has resulted in an ethical issue that the Catholic Church does not have a clear position on. What to do with the undesired cryopreserved embryos resulting from the IVF process? The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in its 2008 instruction on certain bioethical questions Dignitas Personae, commented on three proposals on what to do with them and stated that the situation for abandoned embryos “cannot be resolved.” But what about those not abandoned but undesired? Even before the issuance of Dignitas Personae, a debate developed regarding the third proposal of embryo adoption, which continues unresolved. We will explore the embryo adoption debate from 2007-2018 through the arguments of fifteen authors, with eight of them arguing not in favor of it and seven arguing in favor.

Mendoza’s History of the Great Kingdom of China, first published in 1585, used the Augustinian Martín de Rada’s account of his visit to China for a significant part of his book. Although he used Rada’s account almost completely, he omitted the first chapter. That chapter does not reflect well on the Augustinians, as it shows the lengths they were going to in order to get into China. It also shows the role played by one of the leading Sangleys in Manila, whose name was Sanko, though written by the Spaniards as Çanco. We fill Mendoza’s gap by presenting that chapter together with an English translation.

This paper seeks to contribute to the growing number of studies on early modern period inter-cultural relations, focusing on Chinese-Filipino-Spanish interactions in the early 1600s and the resulting rise of the mestizo sangley, children of Filipino and Chinese unions. The paper is based on two documents in the Archivo de la Universidad de Santo Tomás (AUST) in Manila, one in the Archivo de la Provincia de los Agustinos Filipinos (APAF) in Valladolid, Spain, and a Spanish-Chinese dictionary in the AUST, all dating from the first half of the 17th century.
