VI. NEW BUSINESS
i. Chairperson's Report
Dr. Emma Porio, PSSC Chair, noted that this is the last occasion she is
addressing the body as Chair, and took the opportunity to thank colleagues in the
Governing Council and other members of PSSC's network who helped move the
programs and projects of PSSC in 2005.
Dr. Porio recalled that in the Midyear General Membership meeting in August
2005, the members ratified the proposed amendments to the PSSC By-laws. Among
the major changes introduced were the removal of the membership category "affiliate
member"; renaming of the Governing Council to Board of Trustees and reduction
of its meetings to quarterly instead of monthly meetings; acceptance of more than
one disciplinal association as a regular member; designation by regular members
within the same discipline of only one set of representatives to the Board of Trustees;
extension ofthe terms of office of disciplinal representatives to the Board of Trustees
to two years; reduction of the General Membership Meeting to one meeting per
year; and creation of an Executive Committee composed of the Chair, Vice Chair,
Treasurer and Executive Director to oversee PSSC operations. Dr. Porio said that
these changes will be taking effect this year and are expected to result in faster
decision-making, reduced spending and more efficient implementation of Council
programs and activities. Dr. Miralao added that the amended By-laws has been
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Dr. Porio also reported PSSC's continuing efforts to improve the facade and
interiors of the Center. She noted that the Council has completed the renovation of
the lobby, Frank X. Lynch Library, Loretta Makasiar-Sicat Boardroom, and
Secretariat offices, and has spruced up the gardens.
Dr. Porio next presented the achievements of the different programs and projects
of the Council. She reported that PSSC helped eight regular member-associations
hold their annual conferences through the Conference Award Program; selected
nine graduate students in the social sciences as recipients of the Research Award

Program; supported the participation of seven scholars in conferences/ workshops
abroad via the Regional/International Linkages Program; conducted a seminar on
Publishing in Social Science Journals in the Philippines; and organized two social
science fora. Dr. Porio also reported PSSC's continuing administration of the
International Fellowships Program-Philippines and ASIA Fellows Awards;
partnership with the different institutions for the conduct of the Philippine
Democratic Audit Forum Series and Workshop on Political Reform and Charter
Change in the Philippines; and membership in the Association of Asian Social
Science Research Councils. Dr. Porio also talked about the preparations being
done for the 19th Conference of the International Association of Historians of Asia
set in November 2006.
(The full text ofthe Chairperson's Report was included in the 2005 Annual Report,
which was distributed to members during the meeting.)

2. Treasurer's Report
Dr. Jose Ramon Albert, PSSC Treasurer, presented PSSC's financial performance
for 2005. He reported that PSSC turned in a modest income of P3.88 million from
the Council's regular income sources such as membership fees, Book Center sales,
management fees, and earnings from long-term and short-term investments. On
the other hand, P4.92 million were spent for Council programs, activities and services
such as the Conference Award Program, Regional/International Linkages Program,
Research Award Program, Book Center, PSSC publications, etc.
Dr. Albert also reported that earnings from PSSCenter office, function room
and equipment rentals stood at P8.45 million. The bulk of this amount was used
for the operation and maintenance of the PSSCenter, while a small portion was
added to the P3.88 million Council income to support Council programs, activities
and services.
Dr. Albert likewise presented the approved budget for 2006. He noted a slight
decrease in the approved budget for Council programs, activities and services from
P4.9 to P4.7 million, owing to the reduction in the number of Board of Trustees
meetings and the General Assembly under the amended By-laws, as well as a
decrease in the number of PSSC personnel. On the other hand, budget for
PSSCenter/building operations was slightly raised from P6.52 to 6.75 million in
anticipation of the higher cost of utilities and the hiring of more security guards.
(The full text ofthe Treasurer's Report was included in the 2005 Annual Report,
which was distributed to members during the meeting.)
The General Membership
2006-03-03 Accepted the Treasurer's Report
3. Membership Committee Report
Dr. Jorge Tigno, Chair of the Membership Committee, delivered the Membership
Committee Report. Dr. Tigno acknowledged the designated disciplinal
representatives as well as the elected associate member-representatives to the Board
of Trustees and the General Assembly. Dr. Tigno then proceeded to give a status
report on the compliance of member-organizations with PSSC membership
requirements. He reported that, of the 14 regular member-organizations, five have
succeeded in meeting all the membership obligations in 2005. These are the
Psychological Association of the Philippines, Philippine Statistical Association,
Philippine Political Science Association, Philippine Population Association and
Philippine National Historical Society. The rest ofthe regular member-organizations
have some journal gaps, which they committed to work on during the year. With
regard to associate member-organizations, Dr. Tigno reported that 13 of the 38
member-organizations are in good standing, having met all the requirements in
2005. The others have one or two deficiencies and were reminded to address these
soon. Dr. Tigno also informed the body that the School of Economics of the University
of Asia and the Pacific was dropped from the membership roster for non-compliance
with membership requirements for four consecutive years.

Discussion
Dean Santos clarified that for the period 2006-2007, she will be the regular
representative for history while Prof. Apilado will be the alternate representative.
The following year (2007-2008), Dean Santos said the two of them will switch
places, with Prof. Apilado as the regular representative and herself as the alternate
representative. Dr. Tigno said that PSSC received two separate communications
from the Philippine National Historical Society and Philippine Historical Association
naming two different disciplinal representatives. He explained that the two
associations must come up with ajoint official letter indicating the mutually-agreed
upon regular and alternate representatives to the Board of Trustees. Dr. Miralao
added that the designated representatives will have to sit for two years, and noted
that the proposed switching of places of representatives from PNHS and PHA does
not follow the intent of the By-laws.
4. Other matters
• Dr. Filomeno Aguilar Jr. invited the body to submit paper or panel proposals
for the 19th International Association of Historians of Asia Conference. He
stressed that the conference is not limited to historians, and prospective paper
readers need only to include historical context in their papers.
• Dr. Miralao mentioned the passing of social science stalwarts like Bro. Andrew
Gonzalez, Dr. Alfredo Lagmay, Dr. Bonifacio Sibayan and Dr. Estefania Aldaba-
Lim.

'Reyort
FILOMENO V.AGUILAR JR.
In 2005, the then Governing Council (GC) ofthe Philippine Social Science Council
(PSSC) agreed on a number of amendments to the PSSC By-Laws, which the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accepted subsequently. These
amendments started to be put into effect in 2006.
Following the new Charter, the representatives of disciplines and associate
members now function as the PSSC's Board of Trustees (BOT), in lieu of the GC,
with a two-year term of office compared with the previous one-year term of GC
members. Our rules allow us five years to implement the new Charter before the
By-Laws can again be amended. Thus, the BOT officers and members, with the
Executive Director and staff, are working to attain the organizational, financial,
and substantive improvements envisioned in the PSSC's new Charter. This report
shows some of the progress we have attained during 2006.
Our goal is to see regular and associate member-organizations remaining viable
and vibrant so that, separately as well as collectively, we promote and advance
Philippine social science research and scholarship. Through our various activities
we contribute to the nation. At the same time, we seek a stronger promotion of
Philippine scholarship that will allow us to make valuable substantive and
institutional contributions to regional and international social science.
1. PSSC LECTURES/SOCIAL ISSUES FORA/CONFERENCES
In March 2006, shortly after the constitution of the BOT, the PSSC hosted its
first lecture event, a one-day meeting on Global Householding in Asia, which was
organized in cooperation with colleagues from Hawaii's East-West Center. In addition
to local participants, the panel speakers included colleagues from Hawaii and
Taiwan. The hosting of this event owes to the Council's support for the Philippine
~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 11

Migration and Research Network (PMRN), which in January 2006 had sponsored a
lecture on the Filipino Youth in Rome, which featured presentations by Filipino
researchers and embassy officials visiting from Italy.
In June 2006, the PSSC organized a three-day Workshop on the Management of
Curriculum Change, in cooperation with the Bangkok and Beijing offices of the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The
workshop participants included teachers, researchers, and local government
workers, in addition to known education experts from China, Indonesia, and
Malaysia.
From 22 to 25 November 2006 the PSSC served as the host institution of the
19th Conference of the International Association of Historians ofAsia (IAHA). Over
350 international and national participants attended the conference, which was
held at the Hotel InterContinental Manila. It was the conference with the largest
international participation ever organized and hosted by the PSSC, and took about
two years of preparations. Its success owed to the support and cooperation of the
BOT and the PSSC's member-associations, our universities, donors, and government
agencies-including the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA),
the Toyota Foundation, and the Japan Foundation.
It is worth noting that our public lectures and conferences increased our contacts
and partnerships with scholars, researchers, and institutions abroad. Its impact
on the Council's finances was also positive, as shown by the Treasurer's report.
2. REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LINKAGES
An important achievement for 2006 was the PSSC's admission to the
International Social Science Council (ISSC), the first and foremost international
body for the social sciences, which was established in the 1950s. In response to
invitations from the ISSC, PSSC representatives attended special ISSC membership
meetings in Paris in July 2006 and in Alexandria in November 2006. The PSSC
was formally accepted as an ISSC associate member at the Alexandria meeting.
To date, therefore, the PSSC is a member of and the Philippines' representative
to three international and regional bodies-the Science Council of Asia (SCA), the
Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils (AASSREC), and now the
ISSC. However, in 2006 the PSSC, after serving as Secretariat for over ten years,
finally turned over the role of AASSREC Secretariat to the Academy of the Social
Sciences in Australia.
The PSSC continued to assist with Filipino participation in international social
science meetings and gatherings by helping fund the travel of nine of our colleagues.
The decision was based on the recommendations made by the PSSC Grants
Committee, headed by Prof. Meliton Juanico, with Dean Gloria Santos and
Dr. Jesusa Marco as members. The recipients of the PSSC travel awards in 2006
are shown in the following table, arranged by date of meeting:

3. PSSC MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
The Membership Committee, chaired by Dr. Isabel Martin and composed of
Prof. Ronald Holmes, Dr. Winfred Villamil, and Dr. Lucila Bance, oversaw the
members' compliance with the PSSC's requirements. The committee implemented
the new provisions of the PSSC charter relating to membership, and also formulated
new rules and regulations to ensure clarity and equity of procedures.
Complying with provisions in the By-Laws, the Committee issued warnings
and notices of suspension to regular and associate member-organizations for not
meeting the Council's activity requirements, such as updating the publication of
journals or holding annual meetings and conferences. Three associate member-
organizations, who had been warned earlier about their membership deficiencies,
worked to meet the requirements in their desire to remain members of the PSSC.
Likewise, the regular member-organizations who had been notified of their
deficiencies have endeavored to address those problems. Today, three regular
member-organizations remain on suspended status, but it is hoped that their
suspension will be lifted by the time the Membership Committee meets in April
2007 to review the standing of members.
The Membership Committee also finalized the implementing rules to be followed
in inviting and accepting new members to the Council, within the context of the
amendment in the By-Laws that stipulates representation in the BOT by member-
discipline rather than, as was the earlier practice, by regular member-association.

l

Following these rules, the Coordinating Center for Research and Publications of
the University San Agustin in Iloilo has been accepted as an associate member of
the PSSC, bringing the number of associate member-organizations to thirty-nine,
while the discipline of History has identified its representative to the Board, based
on a joint endorsement by the Philippine Historical Association (PHA) and the
Philippine National Historical Society (PNHS).
The Membership Committee also forwarded to the Board suggestions concerning
membership dues, which have been passed by the Board. The first measure sets
the 31st of Mayas the deadline for payment of annual dues by both regular and
associate members, to ensure that members are up-to-date in their payments. The
second measure raises membership dues in 2007 to better reflect the institutional
(rather than individual) nature of membership in the Council and to bring member-
associations' contributions closer to the range of benefits that they can avail
themselves of from the PSSC. For regular member-organizations the amount has
been raised from P5,000 to PlO,OOO; for associate member-organizations, the amount
has changed from P3,000 to P5,000. These measures are also financially prudent
and necessary, as gleaned from the report of the Finance Committee.
4. JOURNAL PUBLICATIONS
To meet the need of some member-organizations for financial assistance in
printing their discipline and/or association journals, in 2005, the Board ofTrustees
approved the use of the P255,000 surplus income from the operations of the
PSSCenter Building as a loanable fund. The fund appears to be attaining its purpose.
To date, three regular member-organizations have loaned from this fund to print
and release back issues of their journals, and, as a result, two of them have avoided
suspension by the Membership Committee.
However, despite some progress in journal publications, several member-
organizations remain hard pressed in meeting this membership requirement of the
Council. In this regard, the member-associations that have consistently released
their journals on time deserve commendation; these are:
Association/Journal Latest Issues
Philippine National Historical Society
The Journal ofHistory Vol. 42 (Jan-Dec 2006)
Philippine Political Science Journal Vol. 27, No. 50 (2006)
Philippine Statistical Association
Philippine Statistician Vol. 55, Nos. 1-4 (2006)
Psychological Association of the Philippines
Philippine Journal ofPsychology Vol. 39, No.1 (June 2006)
Those with a year's backlog, with journal releases of only up to 2005 are:
Association/ Journal
Philippine Journal of Linguistics
Philippine Population Association
Philippine Population Review
Latest Issues
Vol. 36, Nos. 1 and 2 (2005)
Vol. 4, No. 1 (Jan-Dec 2005)
~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 15

Eight member-organizations have two or more years' delay in their journal
publications: Philippine Economic Society, Philippines Communication Society,
Philippine Sociological Society, Ugnayang Pang-Aghamtao, Philippine Association
of Social Workers' Inc., Philippine Geographical Society, Philippine Historical
Association, and Philippine Society of Public Administration.
The publication of new knowledge in the form of fresh journal issues is an area
where the Council is ready to assist members. The publication loan facility remains
available. In addition, the PSSC Book Center endeavors to keep buyers interested
in our journal publications. The optimism, founded on the timely publication of
our associations' journals, explains why the Finance Committee projects rising
sales income from the Book Center for 2007.
5. ANNUAL CONFERENCES OF REGULAR MEMBERS
Regular member-organizations are each entitled to a conference fund amounting
to P30,000 to support the holding of annual conferences or conventions. In 2006
the following ten member-organizations successfully conducted conferences, many
of which were held in the latter part of the year:

The member-associations that held their major annual event outside Metro
Manila-namely, UGAT, PPSA, PNHS, and LSP-are to be commended for they
have made their annual conferences accessible to provincial participants. They
have also forged valuable linkages with regional universities and centers of research
and learning. The Council encourages the other member-organizations to do the
same, and to consider a partnership with our associate members in the regions in
planning and undertaking their next annual conferences.
Four of our members-PSPA, PHA, PGS, PCS-did not utilize their allotment of
P30,000 (either because they were ineligible or did not hold a conference), leaving
the Council's Conference Award Program with a substantial saving for 2006.
6. THE RESEARCH AWARD PROGRAM
The Research Committee chaired by Dr. Eufracio Abaya, with Dean Gloria
Santos, Ms. Alice Villadolid, and Dr. Isidoro David as members, reviewed twelve
applications from graduate students in the social sciences. Of these, seven were
selected as recipients of the Research Award Program for 2006:

and ASIA Fellows Awards (AFA). The IFP is now on its fifth round and, to date,
there are seventy-six IFP fellows currently pursuing Master's or doctoral degrees in
various universities here and abroad (twenty-three have earlier completed their
degrees). In May 2007, the IFP National Selection Committee will be choosing another
forty grantees from among the over 400 applications that have been received to
date for the 2006-2007 round.
The PSSC is also on its fifth year of administering the ASIA Fellows Awards,
which was turned over to us by the Philippine-American Educational Foundation
in 2002. To date, twelve successful grantees have pursued and completed their
research work in other Asian countries; another two grantees are currently
undertaking their research in Thailand and Malaysia. For 2006-2007, the PSSC
has endorsed twelve applications for inclusion among those to be reviewed by the
AFA Regional Selection Committee in Bangkok in the next two months.
The Philippines' ASIA Fellows organized two panel sessions at the 19th IAHA
Conference, and their paper presentations gained the admiration of key foreign
delegates involved in the conceptualization and management of the ASIA Fellows
Program and those of other conference participants.
The PSSC feels a great responsibility to ensure that both the IFP and AFA
grants advance Philippine scholarship and increase the country's pool of highly
trained social scientists. In this connection, the PSSC member-organizations are
enjoined to help identify worthy applicants or candidates for the IFP and AFA
scholarships.
8. FORTHCOMING ACTIVITIES
In addition to the regular programs and continuing projects, the PSSC expects
to engage, or be invited to engage, in new work and initiatives in 2007. Moreover,
preparations for major events in 2008 will need to commence this year. In particular,
the PSSC will be involved in hosting, organizing, or sponsoring/cosponsoring the
6th National Social Science Congress (the NSSC is an activity initiated by the PSSC
in 1983 and held every five years) and the International Conference on Philippine
Studies, both to be held in 2008.
The Board is grateful to the member-organizations for their wholehearted
cooperation. Over two-thirds (26 out of 38) of associate members and all fourteen
regular members sent their annual reports for inclusion in the PSSC's Annual
Report for 2006. A large number also confirmed their attendance at the General
Assembly. Such strong support from the membership is a good indication that
2007 will be a productive and fruitful year for the Council.

Treasurer's
'Reyort
FINARDO G. CABILAO
I am pleased to present to you this report on the state of PSSC's finances as of
the end of last year, 2006. Mirroring the uptrend in the national economy, our
year-end balances too, look good. We have carried this good outlook forward but
also tempered our optimism in preparing PSSC's budget for the current year, 2007.
We are presenting as well the Council's 2007 budget to the General Assembly
today.
2006 YEAR-END FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The statement of PSSC's budget, income and expenses for Council programs,
activities and services presented in Table 1 shows the following:
..
•
In terms of revenues, PSSC was able to generate the over P4 million it expected
to raise in 2006 to fund the Council's regular programs and activities. This
was made possible by the very good returns we have had on long term
investments, including unexpected earnings on the dormant accounts and
stocks that PSSC had kept previously with PDCP and E-bank and which the
latter has since transferred to Asia Trust. Here, we note that PSSC posted 22%
more earnings from investments than it had projected. Additionally, it also
posted more than expected revenues from Book Center Sales and from Special
Project Management Fees and other related charges.
Following the record drop in interest rates however, the Council's interest
earnings from its short-term deposits fell short by almost 30%. Also, we failed
to attain a 100% collection of PSSC membership fees. As of 31 December
2006, there remained a number of regular and associate member organizations
which had not remitted their membership dues to the Council.
~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 21

• On the expenditures side, the year-end figures for most budget lines reveal
these to be close to what were expected/budgeted for in 2006. The Council
however, spent much less for certain regular programs than what were budgeted:
we spent only 52% of the 2006 allocation for Lectures, Fora and Training
activities in part because a number of special projects during the year (e.g., as
the 19th IAHA Conference, the Workshop on the Management of Curriculum
Change) involved similar activities; and we spent only 64% of the allocation for
the Conference Award Program, because a number of regular members were
ineligible for the conference award pending their compliance with certain
membership requirements. We also realized some savings from the budget
lines Regional/International Linkages (due to the cancellation of the trip of one
of the travel award grantees) and Council/Board and Committee Meetings where
we spent only 92% of budget.
• In sum, the financial statement on Council Programs and Activities shows a
total of realized revenues amounting to P4,138,800.41 and total expenditures
reaching P4,337,911.81 (inclusive of depreciation expenses). To meet the slightly
higher level of expenditures, some P199,111.40 was drawn from the PSSCenter/
Building income to support fully Council Programs and Activities. It should be
noted that this fund transfer of P199, 111.40 amount is much less that the
P615,400.00 that we had originally planned to draw from the PSSCenter income.
Finally, Table 2 shows the PSSCenter/Building operations to have been equally
viable. We earned P7.997 million or 97% of the P8.275 million we projected to
generate from building rentals and related income sources in 2006, and spent 96%
(or P6.46 million) of our projected expenditures of P6. 754 million. This has left us
with a net building fund of P438,606.52 after transferring P199, 111.40 to Council
Program operations.
Of the P438,606.52 excess fund for the year, we will be using P200,000 to
begin work on the replacement of the PSSCenter's perimeter fence (on the side and
back of the building), while the remaining P238,606.52 will be added, together
with other savings from completed projects in previous years, to PSSC's Endowment
Fund to bring this to P11.14 million from its earlier level of P10.5 millon.
PSSC'S 2007 BUDGET
We expect the economic environment to remain equally good and beneficial for
us in 2007, although we have also taken a more cautious approach in preparing
PSSC's budget for 2007. This is so because, given the volatility of the stock market,
the downtrend in interest rates and other threats to economic stability and progress,
we cannot be too confident of earnings as much from PSSC's investments this year
as we did last year.
Thus, Table 3 shows that we expect our operating income for Council Programs
and Activities to reach P4.744 million (inclusive of the fund transfer from the
PSSCenter Building income), which is only some P45,000.00 more than PSSC's
approved budget in 2006.
In terms of our regular sources of income, the Table shows we made no changes
in the amounts we expect to generate from Project Management Fees and related
charges (or Other Income) between 2006 and 2007. We increased slightly the
earnings we expect from investments (from P1.050 million to P1.150 million) but
22 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~

reduced expected interest earnings quite substantially from P650,000 to P450,000.
To make up for these shortfalls in earnings, we are increasing expected membership
fee collections by P146,000 (or from P184,000 in 2006 to P330,000 in 2007) and
income from our Book Center Sales from P550,000 to P600,000.
From the PSSCenter, Table 4 also shows that we hope to generate P8 million
from rental and related fees to help sustain our offices and keep our building in
good order. But expenditure-wise, for both Council Program operations and the
PSSCenter building operations, we will keep within budget, and even generate
savings where and when possible. The levels of expenditures for most budget lines
are being kept at the same levels of spending as in 2006. Following this budget, we
expect to end 2007 with a positive net balance of P25,600.
ONGOING WORK/RENOVATION OFTHE PSSCENTER
Last year we indicated that we would approach friends and colleagues and ask
them to contribute to a fund for renovating the Mercedes B. Concepcion Seminar
Room. Donations for this have reached us and we are now using these to renovate
the Mercedes B. Concepcion Seminar Room. This renovation work and the
completion of PSSC's perimeter fence will be the two major physical improvement
projects for 2007.
2005 AUDITED REPORT
Along with this report is the PSSC's Audited 2005 Financial Statement which.
was submitted to SEC on 06 April 2006. As of 31 December 2005, the audited
report shows PSSC's total fund balances to stand at P18,410,429.92 (of which
P8,444,265.47 is from the Special Projects Fund and P9,966, 164.15 from the General
Fund); and its Endowment Fund at P10,500,000.00.

Diliman, Quezon City
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and
fund balances of the Philippine Social Science Council, Inc. (a non-stock,
non-profit organization) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related
statements of income, expenses and fund balances and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the Philippines. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Philippine Social Science
Council, Inc. (a non-stock, non-profit organization) as of December 31, 2005
and 2004, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years

Filipinos are usually treated as second class citizens. Likewise, she reminded
the participants that if ever they will be going abroad, a knowledge on Philippine
History is necessary to prevent being caught unaware of the facts about the
country. She also discussed and shared some of the international agencies

I. ACADEMIc/SCHOLARLY DISCUSSIONS
The Philippines Communication Society was selected to be one of the Conference
chairs and facilitators during the AMIC International Conference held in Penang,
Malaysia on 20-24 July 2006. PCS President Gerardo Josue chaired one of the
parallel sessions. The conference had participants from the academe, mass
communication students, media professionals from all over Asia and the Pacific
including Australia and the USA.
The PCS also organized and conducted the 2006 Augusto Caesar Espiritu
Memorial Lecture held last 10 March 2006. The speaker-lecturer was Philippine
Star columnist Ms. Domini Torrevillas who spoke on The Philippine Press during
the Martial Law period. The lecture-forum was held in cooperation with the Philippine
Social Science Council and PROCESS, a leading nongovernment research
organization. The other forums where PCS gave its assistance was in the planning
and organization of the recently concluded Pinoy Media Congress held in cooperation
with PACE as lead initiator, and partners which include the AMIC, Mirriam College,
the ABS-BCN and the KBP. The other research activities started by PCS last year
and are still ongoing are the PCS Electronic Journal and the PCS Encyclopedia on
Philippine Media and Mass Communication.
II. ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES
The PCS underwent a study and review of its mandates, membership and
activities with the end in view of its re-establishment and re-registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. A study group was tasked to do this function
composed of its President, Prof. Josue with Ms. Agoncillo both representing PCS
and PACE respectively, and Ms. Ruby Gapasin of PACE in consideration of its
seeming similarities. The technical study group considered the following options,
namely formation ofa federation, merger and dissolution. However, after the Board's
assessment of the study, being the official affiliate organization with the P~SC for
the past decade, the Board decided to maintain the Philippines Communication
Society as it is and to meet the requirements of the SEC such as the submission of
list of membership, three-year accomplishment report, board resolution, financial
report and payment of annual financial fees for the past years. As of this writing,
the PCS has complied and submitted all SEC requirements and its new registration
with SEC is now under review and evaluation.

PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC SOCIETY
The reconstitution of the PES Board of Directors following the election of new
Board members at the Society's 43rd Annual Meeting on 23 November 2005 set
another milestone in the Society's relentless attempts to enhance the quality of
economic life by providing a venue for open and free discussions of a wide range of
policy and research issues through its conferences, seminars, and publications.
This year saw the resumption of the Society's fora on contemporary development
issues, mostly held outside Metro Manila, as well as the launch of important
initiatives aimed at rewarding excellence and enhancing service quality to its
members and the public it serves. A new format for its Annual Meeting has been
adopted. A permanent Secretariat has been installed. The Society's newly launched
Lifetime Achievement Award was conferred at its Annual Meeting. Finally, a
revitalized website is up and running.
With these efforts, the Society ended an eventful and productive year.
BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS FOR 2006
The newly reconstituted PES Board of Directors elected its executive officers
soon after the 43rd Annual Meeting in November 2005. The elected officials for
2006 were as follows: Dr. Arsenio Balisacan (President), Professor at UP School of
Economics and Director of Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study
and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA); Dr. Michael Alba (Vice President), Associate
Professor at De La Salle University; Dr. Francisco Dakila Jr. (Secretary), Officer-In-
Charge, Center for Monetary and Financial Policy and Acting Head of Economic
and Financial Forecasting Group of the Department of Economic Research at Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas; and Dr. Leonardo Lanzona (Treasurer), Professor at Ateneo De
Manila University.
The other members of the Board of Directors are Dr. Ponciano Intal Jr., Professor
at De La Salle University and Executive Director of Angelo King Institute for
Economic and Business Studies; Dr. Federico Macaranas, Executive Director of
the AIM Policy Center; Dr. Celia Reyes, Research Fellow of the Philippine Institute
for Development Studies; Dr. Winfred Villamil, Associate Professor at De La Salle

University of Asia and the Pacific. Mr. Alexander Escucha (Immediate Past President
of PES), First Vice President of China Banking Corporation, and Dr. Emmanuel

PES QUARTERLY FORUM
The Society organized a series of quarterly fora for the year to step up public
appreciation and understanding of key economic and development issues and to
promote dialogue among principal stakeholders towards the resolution of a specific
issue. Called PES Quarterly Forum, these activities provided a venue for PES
members to actively participate in relevant economic dialogues.

~
For this year, three fora were conducted with support from different partner
institutions. Two of the fora dealt with Energy as a theme; they were held outside
Metro Manila. The fora opened up alliance with universities in the Visayas and
Mindanao. The provincial leg served as an effective marketing vehicle to enhance
the awareness of people in the countryside about the Society and its activities. It
also provided opportunity to recruit prospective members.
FIRST QUARTERLY FORUM
The first of the series, "A Strong Peso: Boon or Bane?" was held on 5 April 2006
at Dizon Auditorium of the University of Asia and the Pacific (UAP). The forum
tackled the implications of the peso appreciation on export competitiveness, public
debt, welfare, and employment.
The forum featured sectoral perspectives of the exports industry and the
academe. Dr. Cielito Habito, former Director-General of the National Economic
and Development Authority and currently professor of the Ateneo de Manila
University (ADMU), presented the first paper, which highlighted the gainers and
losers of the currency appreciation as well as the factors that contributed to the
peso's appreciation. Mr. Sergio Ortiz-Luis of the Philippine Exporters Confederation,
the second presenter, emphasized the importance of the exports sector and cited
how the peso appreciation adversely affects the small- and medium-scale domestic
and primary exports industries. Prof. Victor Abola of the UAP, who was the third
speaker, made a presentation on the intervening role of the Central Bank vis-a-vis
the maintenance of an export-driven economy.
The forum had 70 participants from the private sector, government agencies,
academic institutions, and the press. It was conducted in collaboration with the
Partnership and Advocacy for Competitiveness and Trade (PACT) - Angelo King
Institute (AKI) - De La Salle University (DLSU) and the UAP.
SECOND QUARTERLY FORUM
On 7 August 2006, the second forum tackled the question "Is there a national
policy on bio-fuels?" It was a collaboration between the Society and the University
of St. La Salle in Bacolod City.
There were four panelists representing the government and the academe. The
main speaker was Energy Secretary Raphael P.M. Lotilla, who talked about the
existing Bio-fuels Bill that will set mandatory market and standards to jumpstart
private sector investments in production and infrastructure support facilities and
will establish a policy framework and support facilities to ensure security of feedstock
supply and investments in supply infrastructure. Mr. James Ledesma, Administrator
of the Sugar Regulatory Administration, discussed the performance of the sugar
industry and the prospects of shifting sugar cane production into ethanol production.
Atty. Aleta Nunez, Director of the Institute of Environmental Governance, batted
for the conduct of a study that will investigate and calculate the net returns from
producing bio-fuels and fuels from other alternative energy sources. Mr. Rafael
Coscoluella, Presidential Adviser for Western Visayas, emphasized the need for a
Biofuel Development Council to address the issue, suggested to look for sources of
bio-fuel other than sugarcane, and called for partnership with the private sector
for the development of bio-diesel and in order to promote investment in plantation.
~~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 47

The forum generated interest from about 100 participants coming from the
business sector, academe, and other stakeholders in Negros, a major producer of
sugarcane from which bio-ethanol is derived.
THIRD QUARTERLY FORUM
The final of the series was held on 16 September 2006 at the Little Theater of
Xavier University in Cagayan De Oro City. The three invited speakers attempted to
shed light on the question "Will there be a power crisis in Mindanao?" Mr. Guido
Delgado, former President of the National Power Corporation, cited the following
reasons that point to a looming energy crisis in Mindanao: (1) no economic incentive
to increase new capacity in Mindanao because energy price is too low, (2) in the
absence of the Wholesale Energy Spot Market (WESM), there is no standard to set
credit risk, (3) no long-term market in the absence of clear regulations, and (4)
absence oflong-term funds in the local market. Mr. Dave Tauli, Senior Vice President
of Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company (CEPALCOj, outlined the problems
of the power sector in Mindanao, which include power deficiency, widespread and
lengthy outages, deficit in Mindanao's energy budget beginning 2009, and no
assurance of constructing new power plants in the next five years to supply expected
load growth. To ease these power problems, he recommended, among others, support
for the Renewable Energy Bill, and the establishment of WESM in Mindanao to
attract new investments. Mr. Bencyrus Ellorin of Task Force Makalajar pointed
out the weakness in the Department of Energy's assumptions (i.e., over projection
of the energy demand in Mindanao) and advocated support for the ongoing initiatives
on renewable energy.
USAID's Energy and Clean Air Project (ECAP) and the School of Arts and Sciences
of Xavier University supported this forum. It attracted 105 attendees.
COSPONSORED LECTURE AND FORUM
Aside from the regular quarterly fora, PES also co-organized two other
conferences.
Together with the UP School of Economics' (UPSE) Program in Development
Economics (POE) and UPSE Alumni Association, PES cosponsored the POE National
Lecture on 17 January 2006. The guest speaker was Dr. William Easterly, author
of the book The Elusive Questfor Growth (MIT Press 2002). His lecture was titled
"Can National Policies Really Raise Economic Growth." It was attended by a total of
349 students, faculty, policymakers, and practitioners from the private sector and
nongovernment organizations. Discussants were Dean Raul Fabella of the UP School
of Economics and Dr. Michael Alba of the College of Business and Economics at
the De La Salle University.
On 28 February 2006, the Society sponsored another forum in cooperation
with the AIM Policy Center, Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAFj, and the AIM-
World Bank Development Resource Center (AIM-WB DRC). The forum entitled
"Corruption Across Regions: Some Consequences of Local Osmosis" discussed the
consequences that await corrupt societies. Speaker was Dr. Raaj Kumar Sah,
Professor at the Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago
in the United States. He presented the ideological and conceptual bases of corruption
across countries and across regions within the same country and provided a dynamic
analysis of corruption and its political and economic implications.

SECRETARIAT AND MEMBERSHIP
The Society's official record on membership is a problem area. Partly because
the PES Secretariat was moved from one office to another, individual membership
records are either incomplete, outdated, or simply missing. This year, the Society
has started putting in place a number of measures aimed at rebuilding the
membership records, expanding the membership base, and improving the value
(benefits) of membership for members. One of these is the appointment of a
permanent secretariat, the Asia-Pacific Policy Center, a non-stock, non-profit
organization housed at the Philippine Social Science Center in Diliman, Quezon
City. As Secretariat, APPC serves as the custodian of all PES records, including
membership, minutes of Board meetings, and books of accounts.
Another measure was the revitalization of the Society's website. One can now
update his/her membership information on-line at the Society's website
<www.phileconsociety.org>.
PARTICIPATION IN THE FAEAANNUAL MEETING
The PES is a founding member of the Federation of ASEAN Economic
Associations (FAEA), an organization composed of the economic societies of the
ASEAN member countries. Established in 1975, the FAEA holds an Annual
Conference with the sponsorship rotating among the different members. The PES
hosted the FAEA Annual Conference in November 2005.
The Economic Society of Singapore (ESS) hosted the 31st FAEA Annual
Conference on 23-25 November 2006. The conference's theme was "The Future of
Asian Cities." The Philippine delegation composed of Dr. Arsenio Balisacan, Dr.
Michael Alba, Dr. Francis Dakila, Prof. Arturo Corpuz, and Mr. Alex Escucha. Dr.
Dakila and Mr. Corpuz presented papers titled "Centographic Measures of the
Growth of Metro Manila with Comparisons to the Metropolitan Areas of Bangkok
and Jakarta" and "Interregional Multiplier Effects of Urban Transport Infrastructure
in Investment in National Capital Region: A Spatial General Equilibrium Approach,"
respectively.
PHILIPPINE REVIEW OF ECONOMICS
The Society's journal, the Philippine Review ofEconomics, targets a zero backlog
in its publication by 2007. Additional editing staff was hired to speed up the
publication process.
The June 2004 issue was released this year, while the December 2004 issue is
set to go to press. Issues for June 2005, December 2005, June 2006, and December
2006 are also in the pipeline. June 2005 and December 2005 issues are now in the
editing stage. June 2006 issue will have the 30th FAEA Conference papers, while
December 2006 is still open for articles.
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
This year, the Society launched its conferment of the PES Lifetime Achievement
Award to honor Filipino economists who have demonstrated exemplary
contribution(s) in the discipline of Economics, whether through their scholarly
works or service in the policy area.
~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 49

Dr. Raul Fabella, Dean of the UP School of Economics, chaired the Award
Committee. Committee members were Dr. Peter Lee Yu, Dean of the UAP School of
Economics; Dr. Myrna Austria, Dean of De La Salle University's College of Business
and Economics; and Dr. Fernando Aldaba, Chair of Economics Department of Ateneo
De Manila University. The Awards Committee was tasked to draft the Award's
guidelines, including the mechanics of selection.
The inaugural award was conferred to Jose Encarnacion Jr., the unanimous
choice of the Awards Committee, for his "... relentless pursuit of knowledge,
evidenced by contributions to decision theory, monetary theory, and social choice;
for infecting others with the same romance with ideas; and for guiding the growth
of the UP School of Economics, the Philippine Economic Society, and the economics
profession."
At the conferment of the inaugural award during the 44th Annual Meeting, the
PES President, in behalf of the PES Board, announced that henceforth the Award
shall be known as "Jose Encarnacion Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award."
44TH ANNUAL MEETING
The fiscal year ended with the 44th Annual Meeting. For this year's Meeting,
the theme was "Growth, Development, and Institutions." The choice for this theme
was informed by recent empirical findings pointing to institutions as the "deep
determinants" of long-term economic growth and development. The PES Board
found this theme particularly relevant because it addresses key Philippine
development concerns.
Departing from its usual one-day format, the 2006 Meeting was a two-day
event. This was to accommodate more paper presentations and discussions on
various topics on the theme. At the least, members had more chances in two days
to meet, catch up, and re-bond with professors, colleagues, and friends.
Also another first in this Meeting was the active participation of allied disciplines,
such as the Philippine Statistical Association (PSA) and the Philippine Agricultural
Economics Development Association (PAEDA). Both PSA and PAEDA organized
parallel sessions relevant to the theme of the Meeting.
This year's Annual Meeting was one of the best attended in the Society's history.
The first day registered a total of 318 participants. Another 60 or so participants
did not register because they attended only a particular session. The second day
still drew a total of 249 participants.
Several institutions provided support to this year's Annual Meeting. These
include:
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
Business Mirror
BusinessWorld
Corporate Planning Society of the Philippines
Development Bank of the Philippines
Friedrich Naumann Stiftung
