Swarms of locusts devastated rice crops from 1901 to 1903 in the Philippines. This led to widespread famine. Emergency relief funds of $5 million were appropriated by the U.S. Congress to help address the distress. The locust plague and subsequent famine exacerbated an ongoing cholera epidemic, resulting in an estimated additional 100,000 deaths. The post-war agricultural situation was already dire due to massive losses of life and carabaos during the Filipino-American War.
Swarms of locusts devastated rice crops from 1901 to 1903 in the Philippines, causing widespread famine. The US government had to appropriate $5 million in emergency relief funds. The famine was made worse by a cholera epidemic in 1902-1903 that caused over 100,000 deaths. The population and number of farmers decreased significantly after the Filipino-American War from 1899-1902 due to deaths of soldiers and a cattle disease that killed 75-90% of carabaos used for farming.
During the terms of Deans Zamuco (1958-1966) and Lantican (1966-1971), the University of the Philippines College of Forestry saw many developments that strengthened instruction, research, and extension programs. Key milestones included young faculty pursuing PhD studies abroad, the construction of new buildings, approval of a graduate program, and the establishment of the Forest Products Research Institute to support wood processing industries. These developments positioned the College of Forestry to train most of the staff for the Philippine forest service and make significant contributions to forestry in the Philippines and beyond.
1) Arthur F. Fischer was appointed Director of the Bureau of Forestry in 1917 and also became the first Dean of the newly established Forest School under the University of the Philippines.
2) Fischer strongly felt the need to train Filipinos to eventually run the Bureau and School, so he sent the first batch of Filipino forestry students to study in US universities as pensionados.
3) In 1934, narra tree was selected as the national tree of the Philippines due to its popularity, utility, aesthetic value, hardiness, and tolerance. The Makiling Echo, a quarterly publication by the Bureau, was also initiated in 1922 to share forestry research and news.

Philippine literature under US colonizationsubliran
During the period of U.S. colonization of the Philippines, notable works of Philippine literature emerged including sarsuwelas, plays, short stories, novels, and poems. Many of these works were written in Tagalog, Cebuano, and other Philippine languages and explored themes of Philippine nationalism and family conflicts. Notable authors during this time included Severino Reyes, considered the "Father of Tagalog Plays", and Manuel Arguilla, known for the widely anthologized short story "How My Brother Brought Home a Wife". The introduction of free public education and use of English as the medium of instruction also influenced Philippine literature and culture.
The document discusses the Philippine literary scene from 1986 to the present. It notes that the 1986 EDSA Revolution overthrew the Marcos dictatorship, restoring democracy and free expression. However, the country faced economic difficulties in the following years. The revolution led to greater diversity and experimentation in Philippine writing through academic institutions, writers' organizations, and campus publications that provided support and recognition for writers. Overall, post-EDSA literature has been characterized by emerging critical theories, adventurous publishing, declining influence of New Criticism, and a development thrust for literature in languages beyond Tagalog.
Miguel Malvar was a Filipino revolutionary general who led forces against Spanish and American colonial rule in the Philippines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a leader in the Katipunan movement, he participated in battles against Spanish forces and later assumed control of Filipino revolutionary forces after Emilio Aguinaldo's capture by Americans. Facing scorched earth tactics by American General James Franklin Bell that killed thousands of Filipino civilians, Malvar surrendered in 1902 to prevent further loss of life, becoming the last Filipino general to do so. He then lived a quiet life farming until his death in 1911.

El Filibusterismo is Jose Rizal's second novel, written as a sequel to his first novel Noli Me Tangere. It has a darker and more political tone compared to the first book. The novel continues the story of Crisostomo Ibarra who returns to the Philippines under a new identity as Simoun. His goal is to instigate a revolution and enact revenge against the Spanish for past injustices. The book served to inspire Filipinos to fight for independence and what is right through its portrayal of oppression and corruption under Spanish colonial rule.
SITE OF FIRST MASS (HISTORY 101 BALIK-TANAW.docxJuliusOrong
The document discusses the debate around the site of the first Catholic mass in the Philippines, held by Ferdinand Magellan and his expedition in 1521. The key sites proposed are Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte and Masao (now Butuan City) in Agusan del Norte. Evidence is presented supporting both claims, drawing from historical logs and accounts. While the National Historical Institute supports Limasawa, some historians argue Masao is the more likely site based on documents from eyewitnesses on Magellan's voyage. The significance of determining the true site relates to its importance in the history of Christianity in the Philippines.
The document summarizes the early history and culture of the Philippines from 200,000 BC to 1300 AD. It describes the earliest inhabitants possibly arriving across land bridges from Southeast Asia during the last ice age. Subsequent waves of Austronesian migrants introduced new languages and agricultural practices. Early Filipino society was organized into independent barangays led by datus. The economy was based on farming, fishing, weaving and pottery. Marriages involved customs like dowry payments and courtship rituals.
The document discusses literature in the Philippines under the republic from 1946-1985. It describes how the country transitioned from a Euro-Hispanic style of literature to an Anglo-American style due to US influence through programs like the Fulbright exchange. This led to a merging of traditions as indigenous styles blended with the two dominant foreign traditions. It also discusses how existentialist works came to the Philippines in the 1950s following the deaths of Ramon Magsaysay and Claro Recto, leaving the cultural scene open to more US influence. This period saw Filipino writers exploring identity and developing a uniquely Filipino literary tradition by combining multiple influences.
Rizal received an early education in Calamba and Biñan, showing great intellectual abilities. He studied at Ateneo Municipal de Manila and University of Santo Tomas in Manila, but faced discrimination. Rizal then traveled alone to Europe for further studies, earning multiple degrees including medicine. He lived in Europe for 10 years, becoming multilingual and excelling in many fields. It was during this time that Rizal began writing his novels to call attention to the need for reforms in the Philippines.
The occupation of the Philippines by Americans took longer and was more violent than expected. Filipinos resisted bravely despite being poorly armed. The war began with an altercation between private Willie W. Grayson and a Filipino soldier in Manila in February 1899. General Antonio Luna led Filipino forces effectively but was later assassinated. Filipino resistance continued under leaders like Aguinaldo and Malvar, using guerrilla tactics, but the Filipinos were eventually defeated as they faced starvation, disease and superior American military forces. Aguinaldo was captured in 1901, though resistance continued for several more years in some areas until the last Filipino rebels surrendered in 1913.

Witnessing Ben comfort the grieving parents and baptize another ill child rekindles Dr. Lazaro's wavering faith and brings him closer to his devout son.
The execution of Fathers Gomez, Burgos and Zamora (Gomburza) in 1872 by Spanish colonizers on charges of subversion angered many Filipinos and helped inspire the Propaganda Movement. The Movement sought reforms from Spain through peaceful means, including representation in the Spanish parliament and limiting the power of friars. Led by Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez Jaena and Marcelo H. del Pilar, the Movement criticized Spanish abuses through publications from abroad, raising awareness of the plight of Filipinos but stopping short of demanding independence.

This document discusses the history and use of animals in art and literature. It describes how early humans depicted animals in cave paintings and sculptures, often using them to represent gods or as symbols. Animals were commonly featured in ancient Egyptian and Assyrian art, and became a prominent focus of Greek art. During the Renaissance, animals were often painted or sculpted for their own aesthetic appeal rather than symbolic purposes. Later, animals were frequently used as moral allegories or to provide social commentary in fables and stories. Their depictions aimed to elicit empathy, sympathy, and interest from audiences.
Folk dancing is meant for participation rather than performance, with country music and many different styles. Lessons are available to learn folk dancing.

The document provides facts about dairy cattle and milk consumption. It states that the average human drinks 25 gallons of milk per year, which is equal to 400 glasses. Dairy cattle were first brought to North America in 1642. Cows produce milk after giving birth to a calf and are milked twice daily by machine every 12 hours. Nearly all dairy cattle in the US, weighing 1,300 to 1,500 pounds on average, produce around 18,000 pounds of milk over 305 days.
This document summarizes a project to develop the Philippine dairy sector. The project's overall goal is to create a profitable, equitable and sustainable Philippine dairy sector that increases local dairy consumption. The project focuses on technical and farm management interventions to improve productivity and profitability of dairy farms in four regions of the Philippines. Intended outcomes include increased national milk yields, growth of the national dairy herd, and increased dairy farm production and profitability in the short, medium and long term. The strategic approach is to demonstrate that dairy farming is a competitive land use option and an attractive investment.

The two-day conference "Redefining Children's Services in Libraries, Schools and Communities" was held on October 1-2, 2012 at the National Library of the Philippines. The conference featured several speakers who discussed topics such as the role of librarians, storytellers, authors and teachers in fostering children's love of reading; developing reading programs for different audiences; and innovating children's services through eResources and outreach. Participants paid 2,500 PHP to cover meals, materials and certificates for the event.
This document contains information about Leonardo Guaygua Mejía's portfolio on the history and language of English culture. It includes sections on the mission and vision of the Universidad Técnica de Ambato's Faculty of Humanities and Education and Career of Languages. It also contains Leonardo's curriculum vitae, an overview of the course, and his statement of personal learning goals which is to learn about the history of the United States and how the English language was implanted in the country. The portfolio contains elements where Leonardo defines vocabulary terms, creates an Old English poem using 5 words, and reflects on what he learned.
The document summarizes a student activity that covered three cultural topics: cooking, the Beatles, and the origins of film. For cooking, each student speaker discussed a distinctive dish from a different country but did not provide enough details on ingredients or preparation methods. The discussion of the Beatles was read directly and lacked interaction with the audience. The segment on film history was the most engaging as the presenters displayed more knowledge and enthusiasm for the topic. Overall, combining three topics into one long activity made it tedious, and it would have been better to focus on just one or two topics with more depth.
The document provides a history of children's literature from ancient times to the 19th century. It discusses that in ancient Greece and Rome, the concept of childhood did not exist, and children were viewed similarly to women and slaves. Oral tradition was used to share stories with children. In the Middle Ages, children were not distinguished from adults and participated in the same activities at a young age. With the invention of the printing press, literacy increased and the concept of a separate childhood emerged. In the 16th century, printed books for children began to be produced with educational and moral purposes. By the 19th century, classics of children's literature were being published that focused on imagination and interest over just education.

This short story by Deogracias Rosario is about a Filipina woman named Monina Vargas who is obsessed with Greta Garbo, a famous Hollywood actress. Monina tries to model her life after Garbo's and even signs letters and photos with Garbo's initials "GG". Monina's love interest, Octavio Razon, also resembles a man Garbo was interested in real life. The story shows how Western influences, like Garbo, led Filipinos to desire to emulate white lifestyles and identities during the American colonial period in the Philippines.

3. Preface
University of the Philippines
Los Baños Alumni Association, Inc.
UP Los Baños Alumni Association (UPLBAA) takes pride in publishing two books
in commemoration of UPLB’s Centennial – UPLB Centennial Panorama and the
accompanying volume, UPLB: A Century of Challenges and Achievements. These
two books provide the most exhaustive and complete documentation of the rich
history of UP Los Baños and are hence a very fitting tribute to commemorate our Alma
Mater’s Centennial.
For a long time, the officers of the Association have been preparing for this coffee
table book. It finally took off when Dr. Fernando A. Bernardo agreed to undertake
the daunting task even with the very limited resources that the Association was able
to provide. There is no one in a better position to undertake this very significant task
other than Dr. Bernardo. Not only is he an acclaimed scientist, prolific writer, and an
artist; but as an administrator, he has witnessed the significant milestones and chal-
lenges of UPLB’s growth and development.
The accompanying volume came about as we felt it just necessary to share with all
UPLB alumni the unexpected vastness of materials and information resulting from
Dr. Bernardo’s painstaking research work.
This book would not have been made possible without the gratis services of Dr.
Bernardo together with the unequivocal help of alumni who assisted him including
Mssrs. Frank C. Cornejo, Sim Cuyson and Ms. Bernie Quimpo. The valuable
assistance they extended has made these books possible.
This two-volume book is a treasure to own and it is with pride and pleasure to have
given each and every UPLB alumni this rare opportunity to have these memorabilia
of UPLB’s Centennial.

4. Introduction
N ot a task but an exciting adventure! That was how I welcomed the suggestion of the
UPLB Alumni Association president, Dr. Elpidio Rosario, that I produce a coffee table
book (CTB) on the colorful history of UPLB. An exciting adventure, because I have never
done this kind of work before. It is like venturing into an entirely different, unfamiliar
world.
As it turned out, this adventure had a lot of twists, turns, and surprises as well as
disappointments, frustrations, and challenges. Why? CTBs usually consist of less narratives
and a lot of pictures even without captions. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a
thousand words.” So why should one write captions? But this CTB is much different
because it is a pictorial history of UPLB – and the history of UPLB is not a simple story. It
consists of over 300 milestones, research breakthroughs, surprising stories, events, and
anecdotes many of which could not be easily communicated in pictures, or pictures were
simply not available in the annals of UP and the numerous publications one can find in
libraries and archives. In this case, we have many stories without pictures, but we tried our
best to observe a ratio of at most 30 percent narrative and 70 percent pictures, spacewise.
Unlike writing the history of UPLB, preparing a CTB is not a one man’s job. The
author had to organize a production team, with him as writer and production manager, Ms.
Donna T. Depositario, as assistant production manager, and some support staff. Donna and
the support staff helped in collecting pictures from different colleges, institutes and centers of
UPLB, a task that required written and personal requests and many follow-ups. In many
cases, the different UPLB units had many outstanding achievements, such as research break-
throughs and improved technologies, all written up and even published, but without pictures.
How could we take pictures of past events? Impossible if the field experiments are gone.
But whenever possible and desirable, we have to ask professors or scientists to reenact
what they did in the laboratories or out in the field – not an easy task because they are not
trained as actors, neither are we trained as directors.
Obviously, we have to hire good photographers, but even good photographers cannot
turn back the hands of time to capture in their cameras past events. They had to make do
with whatever is available at present, and we have to coach them to focus on objects of real
interest in UPLB’s history.
In some cases, UPLB units gave us old pictures from their files, but in most cases
there was a lot to be desired in terms of quality. We have to observe high standards of
quality for a CTB.
In the beginning, the author hired an experienced layout artist, Mr. Delfin “Toti”
Laforteza. He encountered quality problems with photocopies of pictures from various old
iv
5. publications. In fact, he had to go to the libraries to take pictures of the originals. He
slowed down, perhaps because of the depressing and time-consuming task of improving
many of the 650 old pictures for Chapters 1 to 12 of the book. To beat the deadline for
printing in July, the author had to hire another layout artist, Mr. Simeon Manahan, Jr., to
handle the pictures for Chapters 13 to 19.
Altogether, this book of 19 chapters has over 1,000 pictures! A thousand pictures
sounds too many, but in truth, we should have added more to complete our story about
the colorful past of UPLB, and its numerous contributions to nation building, but we
had time constraints.
Producing a CTB covering a hundred years of interesting and exciting events,
from the pioneering days in the wilderness at the foot of Mt. Makiling to the present
challenges and continuing activities of a great university, is by no means an easy task.
To paraphrase the entomologists, “You don’t have to be crazy to do this kind of work,
but it helps.”
To the members of the Production Team, and all those who, in one way or
another, helped in the production of this CTB, goes my heartfelt and everlasting
gratitude. Without their support, it would have been impossible to achieve what we
did in less than six months.
For the names of those who helped the author in producing this book, please
turn to the list of members of the Production Team and the Acknowledgement.
May all of you, readers, enjoy the colorful pages of UPLB’s history.
