This paper discusses the history of DZLB, the community radio of the University of the Philippines- Los Baños (UPLB) in Laguna, some 63 kilometers away from Manila. It traces the history of the radio under the College of Development Communication (UPLB-DevCom) that started in 1964. It tells the story of how the College of Agriculture Department of Agricultural Information and Communication evolved into the Institute of Development Communication making the UPLB history its backdrop. From UPCA, UPLB metamorphosed during the critical politic al events that culminated in 1972 when martial law was imposed in the Philippines. Witnesses to these unfolding events were the students who have been training in the field of communication and broadcasting. The campus and the communities within the reach of the DZLB radio have served as their laboratories. Through the School-on-Air and other programs, knowledge and information were broadcasted to the DLZB listeners who are farmers, housewives, out-of-school youth and students with the end in view of helping them raise their agricultural produce and eventually increase their income and improve the people’s quality of living. The UPLB-DevCom also plans to have an online television-radio to expand and increase their reach among their listeners and viewers inside and outside of the UPLB campus.

Pioneered in the 70s by Nora Quebral of the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, Development Communication (DevCom) is now recognized globally as a scientific discipline. As such, it is now a part of the research and development (R&D) agenda of national and international research organizations. For almost four decades, no study has been conducted to find out the research productivity in DevCom in the Philippines. We conducted in-depth analysis on the total number of publications and total number of citations of DevCom publications collected from Thomson ISI database. From the 70s to the present, 74 articles were published. The most dominant domains were on health communication (31.08 %) and agricultural communication (29.72%). On the other hand, the most predominant approaches were social mobilization (44.59%) and behavior change (41.89%). With 74 articles, it can be concluded that research productivity of DevCom in the Philippines is low. This paper presents ways to improve publication performance in DevCom in the country. Future studies may focus on identifying the factors that facilitate or impede publication performance of DevCom researchers and educators.

The stories of the University Library of the University of the Philippines Diliman, Task Force Detainees of the Philippines, and Bantayog ng mga Bayani (Monument to the Heroes), the libraries that survived during and after the martial law years in the Philippines under the late strongman President Ferdinand Marcos, are told as part of the country’s direction towards transitional justice. The authors argue that the Philippines is experiencing an ‘extended’ transition and that libraries play an important role as memory activists. The narratives and experiences of the librarians and staff show various memory work, reconciliation activities, redress practices, and collaborations.

This book describes how Filipino exiles and immigrants in the United States played a crucial role in the grassroots revolution that overthrew the fourteen-year dictatorship of former president Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines in 1986. A member of one of the major U.S.-based anti-Marcos movements, the author tells the story of how small groups of Filipino exiles—short on resources and shunned by some of their compatriots—overcame fear, apathy, and personal differences to form opposition organizations after Marcos's imposition of martial law and learned to lobby the U.S. government during the Cold War. In the process, the author draws from multiple hours of interviews with the principal activists, personal files of resistance leaders, and U.S. government records revealing the surveillance of the resistance by pro-Marcos White House administrations. The first full-length book to detail the history of U.S.-based opposition to the Marcos regime, it provides valuable lessons on how to persevere against a well-entrenched opponent.

Modernization Process

This essay examines the history of electoral modernization in the Philippines from its beginning in the early 1990s to the present. The essay identifies the problems the country has encountered and accomplishments it has achieved and draws lessons from these experiences which may be useful for electoral modernization in other countries with similar socioeconomic conditions. It will become clear that not only the characteristics of the technologies but also political, legal, administrative, economic, and even socio-cultural factors have significant influence, both positive and negative, on the modernization process.

Background. Scarcity of early local clinical data of COVID-19 proved to be a major challenge as its course rapidly evolved over time. The information gathered from this study can be used in improving awareness and understanding a novel disease particularly in detecting demographic trends, vulnerable clinical profiles and potential clusters in order to be abreast on how the virus behaves in the local setting. Objectives. 1) To describe the clinical profile of COVID-19 adult consults at the University of the Philippines- Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) during the early months of the outbreak 2) To determine their association with the COVID-19 results and final outcome Methods. A retrospective medical record review was done on COVID-19-related consults of patients aged 19 years and above from 01 January to 30 June 2020 at the emergency department (ED). Statistical analyses were done using Chi-squared and Fisher’s exact test using STATA V15.1 with 95% level of significance (p<0.05). Results. The median age of the 901 COVID-19-related consults at the ED was 46 years; 55.49% were males mostly belonging to the age group below 60 years. Almost all were Filipinos (99.44%), majority residing in the city of Manila (64.93%) and only 2.22% had a history of travel outside the country. The most common chief complaint was fever (32.47%) followed by cough (27.58%) and shortness of breath (25.75%). Most had their onset of symptoms from 1-7 days (79.80%) before ED arrival and 86.07% (n=210) were COVID-positive after performing the confirmatory test. Patients with confirmed COVID-19 mostly resided in cities of the National Capital Region (p=0.046), either presented with fever or asymptomatic but with exposure to COVID patients (Fisher’s Exact test; p<0.001) and onset of symptoms was 4-5 days (p=0.007). Those identified with poor prognosis were those aged 60 years and older (p<0.001), with complaint of shortness of breath (Fisher’s exact test; p<0.001) and with delayed symptom presentation of 6 days or more (p=0.037). Conclusion. The COVID-19-related consults at UP-PGH during the first 6 months of the pandemic were mostly males, Filipinos, belonging to the less than 60 years age group (median age=46 years), residing in the city of Manila and no history of travel outside the country. The most common presenting complaint was fever and onset of symptoms was typically 1-7 days before ED arrival. The positive RT-PCR result was significantly associated to patients residing in Metro Manila, either presenting with fever or no symptoms but with exposure to COVID patients, and with onset of symptoms of 4-5 days. Older age (60 years old and above), shortness of breath and delayed symptom presentation of 6 days of more were also found to have significant association with poor prognosis. As not much is known of the behavior and course of COVID-19 particularly at the local setting, it is therefore crucial to be aware of emerging trends to respond adequately and achieve optimal outcomes.

This paper explores the research and administrative efforts of Ernest Brown Babcock, head of the Division of Genetics in the College of Agriculture at the University of California, Berkeley, the first academic unit so named in the United States. It explores the rationale for his choice of "model organism," the development——and transformation——of his ambitious genetics research program centering on the weedy plant genus named Crepis (commonly known as the hawkbeard), along with examining in detail the historical development of the understanding of genetic mechanisms of evolutionary change in plants leading to the period of the evolutionary synthesis. Chosen initially as the plant counterpart of Thomas Hunt Morgan's Drosophila melanogaster, the genus Crepis instead came to serve as the counterpart of Theodosius Dobzhansky's Drosophila pseudoobscura, leading the way in plant evolutionary genetics, and eventually providing the first comprehensive systematic treatise of any genus that was part of the movement known as biosystematics, or the "new" systematics. The paper also suggests a historical rethinking of the application of the terms model organism, research program, and experimental system in the history of biology.

The study of freshwater ecosystems in the country has long had the reputation of being fragmentary and inconsistent, especially when compared to its marine counterparts. Other scientists have in fact noted that many studies that have been conducted on Philippine freshwaters have not gone beyond the “age of exploration”, which resulted to it being poorly represented in the scientific literature. This scenario has been consistent for both lotic and lentic habitats, even for those considered as major river and lake ecosystems, including those found in key biodiversity or known protected areas. This has gone on for decades in spite of the obvious need for invigorated and scientifically-driven approaches to study and manage freshwater ecosystems throughout the country, especially since freshwater ecosystems, including its flora and fauna, are under increasing threat from both natural and man-made environmental stressors, including intensive aquaculture, leading to eutrophication, the introduction of non-native species, as well as climate change. This is further aggravated by the low number of experts in various fields of basic and applied freshwater biology including taxonomists, limnologists, restoration ecologists etc. to deal with various problems and challenges in the Philippine setting. This paper presents the background, history and origins of freshwater biology research in the Philippines and the contributions of the University of Santo Tomas from 2002 to present.
