PHILIPPINE QUARTERLY OF CULTURE & SOCIETY
The Philippine Quarterly of Culture and Society has from the outset covered all aspects of the vast areas named in the title. In part owing to the professional interest of its first editor, the late Dr. Rudolph Rahmann, SVD, it has become the favorite outlet for articles on anthropology and archaeology of the Philippines. It has received wide acclaim by competent judges as one of the best scholarly publications of this country.

University of San Carlos
A Commemorative History
This book chronicles over 400 years of the history of the University of San Carlos, one of the premier academic institutions of the country today. Culled from published and unpublished sources, interviews, official documents and archival matrial, the book traces the historical development of San Carlos from its humble beginnings as a small Jesuit colegio named in honor of San Eldefonso in 1595 to a competitive higher educational institution today. In nine chapters, the book provides important information on significant events that propelled the University to a favored position in academia today. All told, the authors weave a narrative tracing the early project of the Seminario-Colegio de San Carlos as an educator of men for the priesthood during the Spanish and early American periods under the care of the Jesuit, Dominican and Vincentian orders, as the “Alma Mater of the Visayas” on the eve of the separation of spiritual and secular spheres of learning in 1931, and as a diamond in the rough polished into the crown jewel of the SVD-popularly called the Divine Word Missionaries-in the Philippines today.
Cebu Under the Spanish Flag
1521-1896
“Cebu Under the Spanish Flag, 1521-1896. An Economic-Social History” by Bruce Fenner is the first documented history of the City and Island of Cebu to appear in print. There have been one or two previous attempts at writing what purported to be a history of Cebu but as they were short on documentation and long on legend and hearsay, none of them had a right to the title of ‘history.’ Bruce Fenner, the author of this book has undertaken the indispensable spadework in various archives in order to reconstruct the up-to-now virtually unknown part of Cebu history in the period covered by his book. For the first time there is an answer to that often asked question, “What happened in Cebu between the time when Lgaspi transferred the capital of the territory just occupied by the Spaniards to Manila and the end of Spanish rule in these islands?”
The author wisely decided to leave aside the purely political events and to devote his attention to the social and economic developments. The emerging story of decline and the eventual re-emergence of Cebu as a center of trade during the last decades under Spain puts the Cebuanos themselves on center stage – whether they were native to the island or had elected to become its citizens, once the long closed doors were opened. We are introduced to these men and women who did more than their political masters to set Cebu firmly on that road to eminence on the national scene which it possesses today.
The book should be found engrossing reading by all Cebuanos as well as by all those whose interest in the City and in the Philippines at large has been aroused by what they have experienced and seen in these islands. As a well-documented study in the field of regional history it will be welcomed by professional historian as a further stone for the construction of a real national history of the Philippines.

Prehistory and Ecology in
Negros Oriental, Philippines
The Bais Anthropological Project is a long-range, interdisciplinary research program concerned with the prehistoric social and cultural development of a small geographical area in Negros Oriental, Central Philippines. While the main attention of the project is on prehistory, the investigators are interested in far more than chronological sequences of artifact types; their major interest is in how human populations interact with, and adopt to, their natural environments, and in how both change in interaction with each other. As social scientists, they are concerned with the processes and conditions that lead to the transformation of one social form into another one.
Consequently, the researchers of the Bais Anthropological Project have set out to collect a broad range of information – archaeological, ethnographic, biological, geological – all of which has some bearing on understanding prehistoric societies in Negros and how and why they evolved into the contemporary configuration of social and cultural groupings on the island. In the end, the investigators hope that their work will illuminate not only the past of this small part of the Philippine Islands but will also throw some light on more general problems of human organization and social change.
The present volume reports on the results of the first phase of fieldwork conducted in the Bais/Tanjay area of Negros Oriental in 1979. It contains papers in the fields of ethnology, archaeology, and biology and reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the research program. The list of contributors also indicates the cooperative nature of the research effort, involving collaborators from several different institutions in both the Philippines and the United States.
History of Western Architecture
History of Western Architecture uses semiological approach to architecture from a designer’s point of view. It is written primarily for students of architecture who intend to become practicing architects. The study of the history of architecture is here understood as a means of becoming a better designer with a full awareness as to what architecture is all about. A serious attempt was made to bring the History of Western Architecture as up-to-date as possible in a single book which covers the architectural developments from its prehistoric beginnings to the present day. The book retains an outline character. Only the more significant architectural achievements – about 200 – have been chosen as examples but these have been described, analyzed and illustrated thoroughly in terms of Form, Function, Technic and Meaning.
