Fifty Years of Japan ODA : A Critical Review for ODA Reform

Manila : IBON Publishers, Inc., c2005

vi, 189 p. ; 24 cm.

971-0325-52-3

$ 12.00

[The 50^th anniversary of Japan official development assistance in 2004 is an important milestone of the tremendous significance of Japan ODA in Asia and the world as a whole, and because of important challenges and policy reforms that are starting to make their presence felt in Japan ODA. Japan ODA remains controversial in the community because of issues of tied aid, extremely skewed loan-grants distribution, over centralization of decision making, lack of transparency and so on. On the other hand, important changes are occurring in Japan ODA policy in terms of governance among others that make it even more important to take this golden jubilee as an important occasion to press for reforms long demanded by various Japanese, recipient country and international NGOs and people?s movements.

A conference in commemoration of the golden Jubilee of Japan ODA held on October 6-8, 2004 culminated the Japan ODA reform campaign launched by the reality of Aid-Pacific network. The conference stated:

?Whereas the ultimate goal of ODA should be to bring about a just, equal world that no longer requires development assistance from one part to another, the global society on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Japan?s ODA is, in fact, in dire need of increased assistance. Faced with this situation, we appeal to the Japanese governments and their counterparts in recipient countries for a thorough review of Japan?s 50 years of ODA history to transform it into a global public trust.?]

Environment

Islands and Climate Change - DVD : Water for All Asian Development Bank Water Awareness Program

Metro Manila : Asian Development Bank

Running Time : 10:52 minutes

$ 19.50

[Climate change is one of the most serious environmental problems threatening our planet. And no one is more worried about it than the people living on the small scattered and isolated islands stretched across the Southern Pacific Ocean.

Many of the islands are low-lying coral atolls barely above sea level. They could be the first victims of rising sea levels due to global warming. The islands are already experiencing other devastating effects of climate change. The weather is becoming more unpredictable and extreme. Islands and Climate Change examines the impact of climate change in the South Pacific and reports on a unique initiative on Fiji?s Coral Coast where coastal communities, environmentalists and the tourist industry have joined together to try to protect water resources and save the fringing reef, which has suffered near fatal damage from runoff brought by storms and heavy rains. The Water Awareness Program aims to increase public understanding about vital water issues in the Asia and Pacific region; promote water sector reform; improve delivery of water services, especially to the poor; and foster conservation and integrated management of water resources.]

Comanagement in Practice : The Challenges and Complexities of Implementation in the Northern Sierra Madre Mountain Region / Edited by Denyse J. Snelder and Eileen C. Bernardo

$ 14.00

[This book summarizes the lessons learned from previous studies and project activities in the northern Sierra Madra mountain region in order to draw conclusions on various aspects co-management. One of the main challenges is how to arrive at, and maintain, a fruitful partnership between government institutions and individual, or collective, resource users sharing power, responsibilities, and benefits over natural resources. Changes in organizational cultures and social norms may be essential to create long-term sustainability in natural resource management. Such transformation will not happen overnight for they demand social learning, deliberation, collective actions with sufficient scope for flexibility, and adaptation in an environment subject to social, political, and biophysical changes. Yet with the increasing recognition of the crucial role of local and indigenous communities-within the Philippines and the international community in general-the future perspective of co-management remains promising. This is particularly true areas serving multiple functions at local and supra-local levels.]

Secret War in the Pacific - DVD : The Story of Commander Charles ?Chick? Parsons The Man General Douglas MacArthur called the Bravest Man He had ever Known / Written & Directed by Peter Parsons and Morgan Cavett

USA : Peter Parsons and Moon River Productions, c2006

Main Feature : Approx. 50 mins.

?The Making of Secret War?: 41 mins.

$ 20.00

[Secret war in the Pacific is an amazing story about a man of humble origins from Rural Tennessee. Charles ?Chick? Parsons, as a 20-year-old adventurer, went to the Philippines on a tramp steamer, jumped ship and sought his fortune in the United States? proudest colony. He was doing very well for himself when WWII broke out and he was captured in Manila by the Japanese. The story of his escape and return to action as one of General Douglas MacArthur?s key agents reads like fiction. Parsons joined MacArthur in Australia to create a fleet of special mission submarines dedicated to supplying the guerilla resistance movement in the Philippines. He personally went in by submarine bringing guns, ammunition, medical supplies, food, radios and commandos. The Japanese put a price on his head, but this did not stop the intrepid Parsons from entering even into the heart of the Japanese command in Manila itself-dressed as a priest. He was awarded a Bronze Star, Distinguished Service Cross, two Navy Crosses, and the Philippine medal for Valor. The story crediting this man and the brave Filipino and American guerillas is long overdue. These were the men who enabled MacArthur to fulfill the pledge he made shortly after the fall of Bataan and Corregidor: ?I shall return.?]

Presidents ? Philippines ? Biography

[This biography of the great President Ramon Magsaysay deals with his astounding life in political, historical and personal terms. It goes from his miraculous survival as a child to his swashbuckling guerrilla days to his stirring moments as a world-renowned charismatic figure who ?blazed like a meteor across Philippine skies?.

He was generally referred to as the ?man of the Massess?, owing to his popularity among the common man from the lowliest worker in the city slums to the humblest of peasants in far-flung barrios.

Yet he became a celebrated figure who thrilled the imagination of the high, rich and mighty of the Free World. The United States government even issued a postage stamp in his honor to recognize his singular feat as the first, and in his time, the only leader to vanquish a communist insurgency when communism had not tasted a single defeat, was advancing everywhere in the world and terrifying whole populations in the Americans, Europe, Asia and Africa.]

A Chronicle of Courage and Faith

$. 29.50

[Bumitalag no longer exists. In the way of all legend, it transcends the grisly death of dozens of Ilocanos, even that of the late Gov. Roque B.Ablan. It now lives in a realm somewhere between waking and dreaming, akin to the wakefulness on the last night of sleep of an incredibly arduous journey, of like the steely blue that bathes everything the hour before dawn.

It is remembered in the muzzle flashes, the smell of gunpowder, the face of fear, and the color of blood. And it is immortalized in the diary of this woman, Aurora, whose pure heart found, in this mountain sanctuary, a strength and purpose in the calming voice of God.]

[This book documents the history of Malacanan Palace from Spanish times to the present, in a new way. Focusing on the Palace as a stage for the projection of power, it traces the different incarnations the Palace and its grounds have had as different regimes attempted to turn Malacanan into means of projecting power, and authority. Many People have certain fixed images of Malacanan Palace in their minds: as a place of mystery, frivolity, and authority. Few in recent memory have actually seen it in detail, and more importantly, seen the physical structure of the palace complex within the context of its true history and meaning. Readers will, for the first time, be able to undertake not just a room-by-room and building-to-building tour of the palace, but also see how each item and each building reflects and fits in to a particular period in our history and growth as a nation.]
