Rasa Island

Rasa Island is a flat coral island in the Sulu Sea just off the coast of the municipality of Narra in Palawan, Philippines. It is a shallow island surrounded by mangroves and tidal flats containing one of the country's last remaining coastal forests. The island is home to the largest population of the endemic and critically endangered Philippine cockatoo in the wild in the Philippines. It was declared a protected area in 2006. Geography Rasa Island is a large irregular mangrove swamp on a coral reef that extends about 640 metres (2,100 ft) beyond the island at its southwest and northeast ends. It is located about 0.5 kilometers (0.31 mi) from Casuarina Point and forms the northeastern side of Mantaquin Bay. Only one-third of the island is permanently dry with the remaining two-thirds exposed to the occasional tides. To its north lie Arena Island and other small coralline islands on the coast of Aborlan. To the south across the Mantaquin Bay are Linda and Emelina islands. Rasa Island is administered as part of the Narra barangay of Panacan. It is just 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north of the Narra poblacion and approximately 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Palawan's provincial capital, Puerto Princesa. Biodiversity Rasa Island is a natural habitat of the globally threatened Philippine cockatoo, known locally as katala and also known as the red-vented cockatoo, a parrot species endemic to the Philippines. In order to protect this bird species whose number dropped sharply from as many as 4,000 in 1994 to only about 1,000 in 2001 due to illegal poaching and rapid deforestation of its coastal environment, the Philippine government declared the whole island and surrounding waters a bird sanctuary known as Rasa Island Wildlife Sanctuary. The 1,983-hectare (4,900-acre) bird sanctuary is now administered by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in partnership with the Philippine Cockatoo Conservation Program of the Katala Foundation. Former poachers from the Tagbanua community of Narra now serve as the island's deputized wildlife wardens. A number of other endemic birds have also been observed in the island such as the blue-headed racket-tail, grey imperial pigeon, Chinese egret and Mantanani scops owl. Its waters also host a significant population of green sea turtles, hawksbill sea turtles and dugongs. Apart from mangroves, Ipil trees also grow on the island.

Rasa (isola)

L'isola di Rasa è un'isola corallina piatta nel Mar di Sulu, situata poco al largo della costa della municipalità di Narra a Palawan, nelle Filippine. È un'isola poco profonda circondata da mangrovie e piane di marea che ospitano una delle ultime foreste costiere rimaste nel paese. L'isola ospita la più grande popolazione di cacatua delle Filippine, una specie endemica e in pericolo critico, che nelle Filippine si presenta allo stato selvatico. È stata dichiarata area protetta nel 2006. Geografia L'isola di Rasa è una grande palude di mangrovie irregolare su una barriera corallina che si estende per circa 640 metri (2 100 ft) oltre l'isola lungo le estremità sud-ovest e nord-est. Si trova a circa 0,5 chilometri (0,31 mi) da Casuarina Point e forma il lato nord-orientale della baia di Mantaquin. Solo un terzo dell'isola è permanentemente asciutto, mentre i restanti due terzi sono esposti alle maree occasionali. A nord si trovano l'isola di Arena e altre piccole isole coralline sulla costa di Aborlan; a sud, attraverso la baia di Mantaquin, si trovano le isole Linda ed Emelina. L'isola di Rasa è amministrata come parte del barangay Narra di Panacan, trovandosi a soli 3 chilometri (1,9 mi) a nord della poblacion di Narra e a circa 90 chilometri (56 mi) a sud del capoluogo provinciale di Palawan, Puerto Princesa. Biodiversità L'isola di Rasa è l'habitat naturale del cacatua delle Filippine, una specie di pappagallo endemica di queste zone, minacciata a livello globale e conosciuta localmente come katala. A protezione di questa specie di uccello, il cui numero è diminuito drasticamente da 4.000 esemplari nel 1994 a circa 1.000 nel 2001, a causa del bracconaggio illegale e della rapida deforestazione del suo ambiente costiero, il governo filippino ha dichiarato l'intera isola e le acque circostanti un santuario per uccelli noto come Santuario della fauna selvatica dell'isola di Rasa. Il santuario per uccelli grande 1,983-ettaro (4,90-acro) è ora amministrato dal Department of Environment and Natural Resources in collaborazione con il Programma di conservazione del cacatua filippino della Fondazione Katala. Una parte di ex bracconieri della comunità Tagbanua di Narra ora svolgono il ruolo di guardiani della fauna selvatica dell'isola. Sull'isola sono stati osservati anche numerosi altri uccelli endemici, come la codaracchetta testablu, il piccione imperiale grigio, la garzetta cinese e l'assiolo di Mantanani. Le sue acque ospitano anche una popolazione significativa di tartarughe verdi, tartarughe embricate e dugonghi. Oltre alle mangrovie, sull'isola crescono anche gli alberi Ipil.

Legarda Elementary School

The Legarda Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sampaloc in the City of Manila. Built in 1922, the school is notable for its main school building that has managed to retain its pre-war architecture, making its building the oldest surviving campus in Manila. History The school was built on the land that was donated by the heirs of Benito Legarda, an eminent legislator and cabinet member of the First Philippine Republic who later became the first Resident Commissioner of the Philippines during the American colonial period. It was in his honor that the school that the school was named after. Andres Luna de San Pedro, the architect son of painter Juan Luna, designed the school's main building. It became a prominent landmark in the area with its unique Victorian style of architecture which evokes a sense of grandeur. The school's first principal was Andrea Vitan Arce, a renowned educator and writer. The school also received an early distinction for being a model school in 1924. During the Japanese Occupation in World War II, the Japanese forces used the school as barracks. Having survived the war, it was subsequently liberated by the Americans during the Battle of Manila, after which it became the headquarters of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division as well as being the 29th Evacuation Hospital for wounded American soldiers. The Philippine Army also made the school its headquarters for a brief time. Additional school buildings were built in the school grounds to accommodate a growing student population but the original structure has been preserved as a landmark heritage structured cited by the Department of Education and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.

Museo Iloilo

Museo Iloilo is a provincial museum located near the Iloilo Provincial Capitol in Iloilo City, Philippines. It is the first government-sponsored museum in the Philippines outside of Metro Manila. The museum houses a collection of Iloilo's cultural heritage. Museo Iloilo was built in 1971 and was designed by architect Sergio Penasales. Exhibits The museum's permanent exhibit covers cultural heritage of Iloilo and Panay from weaponries and armories during the Filipino-Spanish war in the 1800s, to stone-age potteries and traded potteries from China and Thailand, sculptures in the Spanish era, jars and ceramics during the Japanese invasion, fossils, and jewelries. Parts of a British sunken ship and war remnants are also good finds inside the museum. In addition, they have a selection of priceless cultural bits and pieces such as relics and modern religious images of saints and old churches depicting the unwavering religious spirit of the Hiligaynon people. Since Iloilo has a number of baroque churches and the people are known to have a strong faith, the section of the museum also displays different sizes of religious figures. The image below is a late 18th-century high relief carving in hardwood, originally polychromed and showing traces of gesso. The relief depicts the conversion of San Agustin, a heretic, to Christianity. The scene shows the penitent convert before the crucified Christ with Sta. Monica, shown with a bare breast, probably recalling how she nourished her son with her milk. References

Rizal Memorial Sports Complex

Het Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, het nationale sportcomplex van de Filipijnen, staat bekend als het oudste sportcomplex van Azië. Het complex is gelegen in de hoofdstad van de Filipijnen, Manilla.

Het complex werd gerenoveerd in 1953 nadat het was verwoest tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Tot 2006 zijn er geen wezenlijke veranderingen meer geweest aan het complex. Het werd bekritiseerd door zowel nationale als internationale sportofficials om haar leeftijd en beperkte capaciteit. Het nationale stadion, hoofdstadion van het complex, heeft een maximale capaciteit van 30.000 mensen. Het complex biedt ook onderdak aan de Filipijnse Sport Commissie en is tevens de thuisbasis van 's lands beste atleten.

Miguel de Benavides

Miguel de Benavides y Añoza, O.P. (c. 1552 – July 26, 1605) was a Spanish Catholic prelate and sinologist who served as the third Archbishop of Manila. He previously served as the first Bishop of Nueva Segovia and was the founder of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. Biography Miguel de Benavides was born in 1552, to a noble family in Carrión de los Condes, Spain. He entered the Dominican Order in San Pablo de la Moraleja, Valladolid, and later rendered service in Colegio de San Gregorio. He joined the first group of Dominicans going to Manila in 1587, proceeding with them on to China where he hoped to expand the local Catholic church. He was later exiled, and established a hospital for the Chinese in Binondo, Manila, before becoming the head of his order. He accompanied Bishop Domingo de Salazar, the first bishop of Manila, to Spain to defend the native Filipinos against Spanish oppression. Bishop He was appointed as the first bishop of Nueva Segovia and was consecrated in Mexico in 1597. Along with Juan Cobo, he authored the Doctrina Christiana in Chinese, one of the earliest books printed in the Philippines. He arrived in Nueva Segovia in 1599 but was, after three years, appointed as the Archbishop of Manila on October 7, 1602. His installation in Manila was financed by King Philip III himself, for Benavides was extremely poor. On September 9, 1603, he directed the Franciscans to oversee the Japanese staying in the Philippines. In the same year, he warned the government about the nascent revolt of the Chinese population although he was also criticized for inciting it with his sermons. Death He died on July 26, 1605, in Manila. Benavides's library and personal property worth ₱1,500 were donated for the establishment of an institution of higher learning, now known as the University of Santo Tomas, which was formally founded on April 28, 1611, nearly six years after his death.

Miguel de Benavides

Miguel de Benavides, né en 1552 à Carrión de los Condes (Espagne) et décédé le 26 juillet 1605 à Manille est un prêtre dominicain espagnol missionnaire, sinologue et évêque. Il est aussi le fondateur de l'Université de Santo Tomas de Manille. Biographie Entré chez les dominicains à Valladolid en Espagne, il est ordonné prêtre en 1568 et d'abord nommé professeur au Collège San Gregorio fondé par son ordre. Se sentant appelé aux missions lointaines il est finalement choisi pour faire partie du premier groupe de dominicains se rendant aux Philippines. Il arrive à Manille en 1587. Des Philippines, il est envoyé en Chine, un pays où il ne resta que peu de temps, expulsé avec les autres missionnaires par les autorités locales presque immédiatement après son arrivée. De retour aux Philippines, il ne perd pas son intérêt pour le monde chinois et continue son investissement sur la langue se rapprochant par la même occasion des Chinois vivant à Manille. En vue de mieux les évangéliser, il participe à la construction d'un hôpital leur étant réservé. Désireux toujours mieux les servir, comme évêque, il participera à la traduction et financera la publication en chinois De doctrina Christiana d'Augustin. Par ailleurs, il partage le même soucis que Domingo de Salazar, premier évêque de Manille, de défendre les Philippins indigènes contre les abus des colons espagnols. En 1597, alors qu'il se trouve à Mexico, il est choisi pour devenir évêque du diocèse de Nueva Segovia situé sur l'île de Luçon. Il n'arrivera dans son diocèse qu'en 1599. Trois ans après, il est nommé archevêque de Manille. Durant son court épiscopat, il encourage la mission auprès des Japonais vivant aux Philippines. Il finance aussi la fondation de l'Université de Santo Tomas.
