New books from OVCRD
The UP Diliman Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development (OVCRD) launched on 3 September four books that will add to the existing literature on folk theater, poverty alleviation policies, abortion, and the writings of Jose Rizal. Launched were Studies in Pre-war Sugbuanon Theater by Wilhelmina A. Ramas, Readings in Governance of Poverty Alleviation by Victoria A. Bautista, May Gawa na Kaming Natapos Dini: Si Rizal at ang Wikang Tagalog by Nilo S. Ocampo, and Unsafe Abortion in the Philippines: A Threat to Public Health by Corazon Raymundo, Zelda Zablan, Josefina Cabigon, Grace Cruz, and Clarinda Berja.
Studies in Pre-war Sugbuanon Theater is the first in a continuing series of studies on the elements of Sugbuanon theater. It is a collection of folk dramas presented in Sugbuanon and translated into English by Dr. Ramas, Professor Emeritus at the Department of English and Comparative Literature. The dramas, ranging from serious and reflective to comic and musical, embody the charm of early Sugbuanon theater and represent the first important dramatists in the history of Sugbuanon theater: Sotto, Rodriguez, and Kabahar. Other works of Dr. Ramas include Philippine Drama: Philippine Plays in Six Philippine Languages, which was co-authored with five other UP professors.
In Readings in Governance of Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Bautista puts together nine articles on the formulation, planning, implementation and monitoring/evaluation of poverty alleviation programs in the Philippines. Among the programs discussed were the MBN approach, first implemented during the Ramos administration, and the KALAHI Program, the response of the Arroyo administration to poverty alleviation. Dr. Bautista, a professor at the National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) is the author of Combating Poverty through the Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services.
The first comprehensive and integrated study on the subject in the Philippines, Unsafe Abortion in the Philippines: A Threat to Public Health narrates the accounts of women who have undergone abortion, as well as the perceptions, attitudes, and practices of service providers and other actors in the abortion picture. The book reveals new findings on abortion methods and procedures, and on the motives for and consequences of abortion. It also delves on abortion-related issues, such as family planning. The book is written by Dr. Raymundo, with contributions from colleagues at the Population Institute.
In May Gawa na Kaming Natapos Dini: Si Rizal at ang Wikang Tagalog, Dr. Ocampo offers a fresh look at the national hero, Jose rizal. The book showcases the works of Rizal in the Tagalog language, including his correspondences on and articles about Tagalog in German, Spanish and French. In the book, Rizal is portrayed as a Filipino who was trained in foreign languages, but who never forgot his native tongue. A professor at the Department of Filipino and Philippine literature, the author also wrote and translated Rizal: Makabayan at Martir, Etikang Tagalog: Ang Ikatlong Nobela ni Rizal, and Istilo Ko: Rizal Romantik.
The OVCRD, since its creation in 1998, has published important works of UP Diliman faculty and researchers. It publishes and disseminates researches as part of its mandate to assist the UP personnel in research and development undertakings.
