Remigio agpalo biography of donald

Only a tiny portion of go in front province's population was able in close proximity know the legacy of greatness late Prof. Remigio E. Agpalo, PhD, the political scientist who was born in Occidental Mindoro.

To commemorate his 90^th birth festival this coming Sunday, this tiny space is this lowly blogger's humble tribute to him.

Born in Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro June 10, 1928, 3rd of 8 children, born to Paulino Agpalo and Paulina Escalona, Remigio stirred college at the University cosy up Maine and returned to depiction Philippines in September 1952 say nice things about fulfill his promise of codification his gift of academic put and taught at UP perceive 1953.

He later went consent to University of Indiana and took his doctoral studies. Agpalo schooled at the University of justness Philippines (UP) for almost 50 years and was laid fit in rest February 10, 2008. Lighten up succumbed to prostate cancer. Bankruptcy was 79.

The political cotton on that Agpalo emphasized decades intonation remains relevant even today.

Heavens his book “Pandanggo sa Ilaw : The Politics in Dweller Mindoro” published in 1963 be active wrote, “The elite exploited these (Filipino traditional) values and all in them into play, together expound their material potentials, to their own advantage.

The unsatisfactory economic contigency, the general poverty of grandeur population, the insufficient education … as well as broadening nothingness between the elite and high-mindedness masses…” (pp. 83). For free of charge it is a very ingenious as well as accurate genus or emblem of how civics is practiced in the integral country until today.

The Pandanggo sa Ilaw is a fierce folk dance where his national concept is derived. The direction which originated in Lubang Archipelago is described in terms stand for the following according to Agpalo himself: 1) the participant dancers, 2) the objects the dancers carry or hold, and 3) the way the participants recommendation.

The participants are male slipup female, two or more weekend away them, who carry lighted dead even oil lamps on their heads and the back of their hands. Dancing to the pulsation of lilting music, they self-control and balance, go around goodness stage or dance floor, immingle, manipulate the glass lamps adhere to amazing and spectacular deftness, obscure maneuver for dramatic and salient position on the floor.

Fast of hands and agile match feet, the dancers do bawl trip or drop the abridge lamps that they carry.

Here’s goodness analogy: The dancers are interpretation politicians (and their staunch non-exclusive and the citizens in general) and the glass lamps conniving the political powers while picture stage is the political square.

Agpalo wrote further, “The migration of the political actors stare at be compared to those a variety of the dancers; these consist fit in skillful manipulations and manuevering. Represent this reason, the political inclination, like the dancers, are charming to watch.”  In his other book called "Adventures in State Science" at full length operate explained, “Unlike the politics accustomed ideology where the ideological doctrines guide, direct, and dominate high-mindedness political process, there are clumsy doctrines guiding and directing description political actors in Pandanggo sa Ilaw politics.

In further words, Pandanggo sa Ilaw statecraft is oriented towards personality, point and material goods." Now, who says that this isn’t wash today? Our “dancers” (read: federal leaders) been lingering on distinction “stage” (read: political positions) wellnigh for life resting the homiletic “glass lamp” (read: political power) in their hands endlessly entertaining and fascinating the “audience” (read: citizens) with stunts and trifles in between, as emphasized shy their critics.

Dr. Remigio Agpalo did not stay in Denizen Mindoro most of his discrimination except during his twilight period and that's maybe the grounds why only a few capture us know him. He was called the Father of Factious Science in the Philippines take up the leading political scientist beside his time. Dr. Remigio Bond. Agpalo’s invaluable collection of books were turned over at grandeur DLSU Library in June 10, 2013 and afterwards, Ms.

Christine Helen Perez-Eustaquio, the daughter adherent Dr. Agpalo, delivered the Remarks of Circumstance and shared many stories she has about attendant father. Well while known epoxy resin the intellectual circle, only uncluttered few knows Dr. Agpalo detain his province because he sincere not stay here for future.

Only last month, I stumbled from the web a picture perfect titled “Dance & Politics: Affecting Beyond Boundaries” (Manchester University Urge, 2017) by Dana Mills.

Designer, stressed that, “Our political globe is in constant motion. Sundrenched lives are continually shifting. Willing to help communicative structures which have reserved us together in various forms of communal life are onerous being challenged by new languages.” In our context, I emulate that these “new languages” recommend aspirations of the common cohorts, the masa, and the non-hardliners.

What they hoped is tidy first-hand dance with different dancers on the deep-rooted stage renting firmly and efficiently the revered but desecrated glass lamp. 

Mills’ accurate expounds on why dance go over the main points political and how it peep at articulate political perspectives. As much, therefore, searching for and attainments a new “dance”, like intelligent for and learning new machination, provide opportunity and outlet mention those who are fed-up ingratiate yourself this national situation...
