University of the Philippines - Baguio Textile Exhibit
Boy Wanderer at Research Center, UP Baguio
A chance visit from UP Baguio Assistant Professors of Language and Literature Io Jularbal and Roland Rabang. Both attended my Ph.D. classes years back. By then, Professor Emeritus Delfin L. Tolentino had refined and shaped their explorations into literary and cultural studies.
Io is the new UP Baguio College of Arts and Communication (CAC) Dean. Previously, he chaired UP Baguio's Committee on Culture and the Arts (CCA). His dissertation focused on "Transitions and Transformations in the Colonial and Postcolonial Discourse of Headhunting in the Highlands of Northern Luzon. His extensive research in this area underscores his commitment to helping problematize the complexities of indigenous studies in the Philippines. On the other hand, his article "A Rhetorical Analysis of Isabelo F. Delos Reyes’s El Tinguian (1888)" reflects his engagement with the contexts and nature of Delos Reyes's attempts to produce a more localized and nativistic view of the Tinguian which tends to differentiate itself from European writings about the people. However, using rhetorical devices to give meaning and understanding of the “other,” Delos Reyes, in the end, still rendered an outsider’s view of the Tinguian.
Meanwhile, Roland was the Director of UP Baguio's Office of Public Affairs. He was previously mentored by veteran journalists Peppot Ilagan of The Gold Ore and Steve Hamada of the Baguio Cordillera Post. His experiences in photojournalism, news writing, and feature writing have enriched his academic pursuits and provided a unique perspective on the intersection of media and culture. He has contributed articles to many publications, including The Manila Times and the Philippine Daily Inquirer, and his fortnightly column for the Baguio Chronicle served as a vital counterbalance to the rigors of his early academic life. He is now working on his Ph.D. dissertation, "The Northern Luzon Cordillera Visions of Eduardo Masferré: An Analysis of Photography in Four Planes," exploring a slice of the intricate relationship between visual representation and cultural identity in the Cordillera region.
Hello Batch 2018!
I am so sorry to all of those that messaged me and inquired about UP Baguio after my rant post. I’ll do my best to respond to you all and I am really excited to see you guys next school year!
I’ll be posting something about the things that you need to get by at UP Baguio, especially if you come from a different region or even a different part of the world.
Have a meaningful day everyone. :)
