This interdisciplinary panel brings together academics, researchers, and journalists to engage the question, "Who is disenfranchised by the spread of disinformation in Philippine society?" This activity considers a range of evidence that showcases how disinformation is not just a question of true and false, but also a question of inclusion and exclusion: for our communities, our institutions, and our democracy.

SAMAHAN NIYO KAMI BUKAS UPANG ALAMIN ANG PLANO PARA SA KOOP NA PANALO!

Join us on "Baka Naman Pwede?" on 9 October 2025 (Thursday) from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

This episode spotlights the Philippine Cooperative Development Plan 2025โ€“2028 and its goals, timeline, and impact on the cooperative movement across the country. By exploring how this plan aims to strengthen cooperatives as engines of inclusive growth, this episode seeks to ask: what specific actions are being taken, who benefits, and how can non-members also take part in these opportunities? The episode seeks to clarify the direction of the cooperative sector in the coming years, raise awareness of the governmentโ€™s development initiatives, and highlight how cooperation, capacity building, and shared prosperity can support local communities.

Joining us on this episode are Dr. Hilda F. San Gabriel from PUP Department of Cooperatives and Social Development and Ms. Lucy Furo from the National Cooperative Development Council. This episode is hosted by John Paolo C. Dalupang from the Institute of Philippine Culture.

SAMAHAN NIYO KAMI MAMAYANG HAPON PARA IPAGDIWANG ANG BUWAN NG KOOPERATIBA NGAYONG OKTUBRE KASAMA ANG ATING MGA KAIBIGAN SA PUP!

Join us on "Baka Naman Pwede?" on 2 October 2025 (Thursday) from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

This episode seeks to showcase how the cooperative movement promotes leadership, inclusion, and poverty alleviation. It also aims to encourage youth participation in cooperatives and promote the sector as a viable and fulfilling career path. Through this episode, we celebrate young cooperative leaders: PUP graduates who now hold key positions in the field. Their success stories serve as inspiration for students and young professionals, especially those seeking to make a positive difference for urban communities and marginalized groups.

Joining us on this episode are Hilda F. San Gabriel and Mikhaella Bulatao. This episode is hosted by John Paolo C. Dalupang from the Institute of Philippine Culture.

Abstract
American military historians have portrayed the US Army generals and military governors who fought in and ruled the Moro Province in the early American colonial era as savvy colonial counterinsurgents and administrators.

And yet men like Leonard Wood, John Pershing, and Robert Bullard almost always depended on Moro labor and labor brokers, such as Datu Piang and Amai Manabilang, to carry out military and civil efforts in Mindanao. Labor relations between the US military and Moros in guiding, porterage, and road building, among other tasks, generated an imperial politics of sovereignty which pervaded American colonialism at large, and exposed the limits of US power in the Philippines.

Nakikiisa ang Institute of Philippine Culture (IPC) sa Trillion Peso March, kasama ang kabuuang delegasyon ng Ateneo de Manila University. Kaisa niyo kami sa panawagan na wakasan ang malawakang korapsyon sa pamahalaan hindi lamang sa mga flood control projects kundi maging sa iba pang departamento sa ehekutibo, senado, kongreso at maging sa ating mga lokal na pamahalaan.

53 taon mula nang ideklara ang Batas Militar, muli tayong tumitindig at pumupunta sa lansangan upang labanan ang katiwalian at korapsyon sa gobyerno.
