  • af René Fredensborg
    72,95 - 189,95 kr.

    På den filippinske ø Panglao ligger et lille stykke Danmark. Icebear hedder baren, Bjarne hedder ejeren. Han er egentlig VVS’er fra Vamdrup ved Kongeåen, far til Dennis, Kenneth og René. For René, hans ældste søn og mulige arving til det filippinske barrige, hedder han kun en ting: Don Bjarno, og han er og bliver et mysterium.Bjarne fra Vamdrup kan tæve rockere og tømme fadølsankre. Han lærer den unge René at score kvinder, og han lærer ham, at man må være kold for at klare sig gennem tilværelsen. Måske er det derfor, han efter skilsmissen fra Renés mor aldrig er til stede; altid på farten, altid lige flyttet ud af en lejlighed, pludselig bosat på Thule-basen og  så, da han bliver træt af skandinavisk middelmådighed, hotelejer på Filippinerne.Da René i 2010 rejser til Filippinerne for at fejre Don Bjarnos 60-års fødselsdag, har de begge flere forliste ægteskaber bag sig. Don Bjarno har giftet sig igen, filippinsk, og det viser sig med årene, at der er også mulighed for giftermål for René. Men er livet med et hotel og filippinsk storfamilie så ukompliceret, som Don Bjarno beretter?Romanen Sjuft af René Fredensborg er en fortælling om en lang rejse fra Sønderjyllands grå tåge til den bagende sol på Filippinerne. Om at blive den far, man havde svoret ikke at være. Det er arbejderklassens våde, men uglamourøse globalisering, en kuldslået roman om at begå sig i verden som en sjuft.

    This unique collection, carefully crafted by poets Alex and Shilyn Montgomery, explores the phenomenally rich mythological landscape of the Philippines through the perspective of the creature or the witness, accompanied with stunning artist depictions of the creatures! Creatures of Kwento's playful verses bring the readers into the whimsical world of folklore, while some chilling poetry will send shivers down the spine as it showcases the darker side of the mythos. As readers find their way through the book, they will also learn about the diverse variations of each creature throughout the archipelago, sourced from various writings and studies on the Philippines and the kwento (stories) passed down from generations before.

    In 2000, Marc Wallert and 20 other hostages were taken by terrorists to a Philippine island and imprisoned in the jungle for 140 days. 20 years later, he describes the strategies he used to survive and what he learned from the experience. The jungle didn't break him, but the day-to-day life that followed drove him to burnout. In order to better understand why, he set out to find answers by focusing on the defining moments of his life - the crises. In this book, he explains effective strategies for both private and professional life that can help people get through crises and become even stronger as they do so.

    Ethnography in the Raw describes the author's encounters with the Philippine family into which he has married, his wife's friends and acquaintances, and their lives in a remote rural village in the rice basin of Luzon, about 130 miles northeast of Manila. The book links detailed descriptions of his Philippine family with cultural practices such as circumcision, marriage and cockfights combined with theoretical musings on the concepts of sacrifice, social exchange, patron-client relations, food, and religious symbolism. It is both anthropological fieldwork 'in the raw,' and an incisive analysis of contemporary Philippine society and culture.

    The romance publishing landscape in the Philippines is vast and complex, characterised by entangled industrial players, diverse kinds of texts, and siloed audiences. This Element maps the large, multilayered, and highly productive sector of the Filipino publishing industry. It explores the distinct genre histories of romance fiction in this territory and the social, political and technological contexts that have shaped its development. It also examines the close connections between romance publishing and other media sectors alongside unique reception practices. It takes as a central case study the Filipino romance self-publishing collective #RomanceClass, analysing how they navigate this complex local landscape as well as the broader international marketplace. The majority of scholarship on romance fiction exclusively focuses on the Anglo-American industry. By focusing here on the Philippines, the authors hope to disrupt this phenomenon, and to contribute to a more decentred, rhizomatic approach to understanding this genre world.

    This book focuses on the legal and procedural problems caused by Chinäs default in the South China Sea Arbitration. Many of these problems arose because in several respects, China departed from the conduct of other defaulting States in cases before the International Court of Justice.The book argues that the Tribunal, confronted with the difficulties of maintaining the balance between two parties in a situation of default, drew on the full range of its powers to ensure that neither China nor the Philippines would suffer from Chinäs default. Further, the book describes the shortcomings of the submissions of putative amicus curiae. It refutes Chinäs questioning of the independence and impartiality of the experts and of the judges. In so doing, it explains the expert opinions and the Tribunal ¿s assessments of the latter in the areas of satellite imagery, coral reef ecology, and navigational safety, while rebutting the half- truths and counter-truths disseminated by Chinese scholars about the proceedings. The book compares Chinäs threats to the independence of the Tribunal to its behavior towards Chinese judges. It places Chinäs accusations of bias against the Tribunal in the context of Chinäs domestic situation, and concludes that the Tribunal, acting independently and impartially, was able to perform the judicial function, despite Chinäs default.

    A detailed and fascinating exploration of the 1945 US combined land, naval and air operation to retake Corregidor and the other Japanese-held islands in Manila Bay from a determined and well-entrenched enemy. The islands guarding the entrance to Manila Bay, Luzon, had been seized by the Japanese in May 1942. In February 1945, US forces were back, and closed in on Manila from the north and south against heavy Japanese resistance. A joint US parachute and amphibious assault was planned to capture the largest island Corregidor, using the much-reinforced 503rd PRCT and elements of the 24th Infantry Division and 2nd Engineer Special Brigade. Facing them were over 6,000 Japanese troops recently evacuated from Bataan, where they had been cut off by advancing US forces. General MacArthur desired the island, once a symbol of American defiance, to be liberated with a flourish.This superbly illustrated work examines the ambitious US assault on Corregidor, which witnessed the most dangerous and risky parachute drop in airborne history, and vicious, desperate fighting by the defenders as they sought to prevent American troops from taking the island. It also covers the recapture of other islands defending Manila Bay: El Fraile/Fort Drum, Caballo, and Carabao.

    A fascinating re-examination of the battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval encounter in history and probably the most decisive naval battle of the entire Pacific War, and one that saw the Imperial Japanese Navy eliminated as an effective fighting force and forced to resort to suicide tactics.Leyte was a huge and complex action, actually consisting of four major battles, each of which are broken down in detail in this book, using original sources. The plans of both sides, and how they dictated the events that followed, are also examined critically.So much of the accepted wisdom of the battle has developed from the many myths that surround it, myths that have become more firmly established over time. In this new study, Pacific War expert Mark Stille examines the key aspects of this complex battle with new and insightful analysis and dismantles the myths surrounding the respective actions and overall performances of the two most important commanders in the battle, and the "lost victory" of the Japanese advance into Leyte Gulf that never happened.

    Pre-University Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, grade: Not Applicable, , language: English, abstract: ICT creates a significant role in the development of any country. Great opportunities easily come along to anyone apt in this field. Thus, it is important for a nation to produce ICT literate citizens who will build the infrastructure required to survive in this digitally-age of society. In response to this demand, the Department of Education is continuously introducing ICT into its system. The Philippine government is also making all possibilities to provide technological advancement to its people. Remote places across the region are being reached to make sure that no Island is being left behind when it comes to technology. As the Philippine education embraces the technology, students are no longer solely relying on hard text for learning. Through DepEd, funded by the government and other partner institutions, learning processes are now transformed digitally. Now, students have access to thousands of learning materials uploaded in the DepEd - managed Online Learning Portal. This undertaking was strengthened by the creation of the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT), an executive department of the Philippine government responsible for the planning, development, and promotion of the country's ICT agenda in support to national development. Despite all of these efforts, the government through DepEd is still facing the biggest challenge in keeping innovative education in this quickly changing world.

In the philosophy of knowledge, they will be able to know where knowledge comes from. They will know how it is acquired. Likewise, they will see how it is being formed out of ideas and its formation process. Then they will come to realize its truthfulness and validity.In the social dimension, the readers will be moved by their humility. They will learn how Filipinos relate themselves to each other. They will love the Filipinos more than they do after reading this. On the other hand, the readers will also love their own God more than they do when they discover the Filipinos¿ fidelity. They will be thinking that these people are holy and so worthy of respect.Finally the readers will see the connection between Locke¿s philosophy of knowledge and that of the Filipinos¿ two dimensions. They will also find out how it is made possible. They will be able to examine themselves the strongest and weakest points of this matter. But their decision will still be to appreciate this kind of work. Then they will acknowledge the researcher for having shared his brilliant knowledge.
