Philippine Modernity and Popular Culture: CULTURE AND DEVELOPMENT


 All models of development are essentially cultural. They reflect a culture’s
perception of the problems faced by society, and they incorporate solutions to those
problems based on that perception, and developed from the cultural resources of
the society itself, in order to address the specific situations in particular society.

CULTURE
 Culture is from the Latin root word colere meaning to inhabit which later developed
to colonus or colony
 Latin: coulter which means cultivation or tending
 Frenchcouture which suggests fashion
 Germanic kultur which is synonymous with civilization
 English mime-word culchah which suggests refinement
-Raymond Williams

CULTURE
 Total complex of values, beliefs, practices, behavior, patterns shared in common and
transmitted by a group of people from one generation to the next.
 The whole complex of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual, and emotional
features that characterize a society or group. It includes not only the arts and letters,
but also modes of life, the fundamental rights of human being, value systems,
traditions and beliefs

THE SMILING CULTURE of the PHILIPPINES


This is a land both fact and fiction, where generations leave no trace of themselves and
everything is constantly wiped out by clockwise destruction: typhoon, tsunami, earthquake,
drought, because we have no memory of ourselves, we remember only the last deluge, the
last seismic upheaval. (ERIC GAMALINDA)

EDUCATION
•From the Latin root word educare meaning to rear or to foster; or educere which means
lead forth.
•Is the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that make people do better in their
life-choices.
•Organized system of instructions designed to create meaning-making sense of individual or
communal life-ways, in the hope that awareness, understanding and appreciation of life will
make life it more liveable.
RANDY DAVID ON PHILIPPINE EDUCATION:

Successive crises in the Filipino nation’s life have led many thoughtful analysts to suspect
that the country’s main problem could be the dis-functionality of the entire educational
system. This system, largely borrowed and imposed from without, has failed to spring roots
in the soul of the people. Instead of drawing strength from local milieu, it arrogantly asserts
its [colonial] superiority…In the name of nationhood, it has suppressed native sensibility. It
continues to denigrate traditional folkways and wisdom in the name of global
cosmopolitanism.
