This category expresses some distinctive traits of the Dominican spiritual and intellectual tradition - going back to St. Dominic himself, in which study is understood at the service of the preaching of grace. The article intends to offer an initial and fragmentary response to questions posed by some Dominicans who seek a greater clarification of this notion in order to better understand and participate more actively in this initiative. The text deals with the following points: 1) The development of this category in the General Chapters of the Order of Preachers from 2013 to 2022; 2) The School of Salamanca and its dialogue with the preachers of the “New World” in the 16th century as a founding analogy of this category; 3) Some fundamental notes that should allow to perceive the complex and at the same time specific reality of this category and that should be present for an adequate understanding and implementation of the “Salamanca Process.”","PeriodicalId":40744,"journal":{"name":"Philippiniana Sacra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47606767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What social responsibility demands is radical and is met when we heed the plea of that anonymous other whose face, both high and humble, triggers our guilt for the good life we enjoy and their dire condition. As Levinas insists, the face of the Other summons us to action. Where in our experience as Filipino can we locate such a high ethical standard? Many Filipino scholars claim that sociality is one of the strongest traits of the Filipino people. They are resilient in the face of trials and tribulations because of the person next to them who is willing to lend a helping hand. In the present world order and the current Philippine context, there is a high demand for each person to act more responsibly toward the person next to him. Social responsibility is challenged by the renewed threats of war on a global scale, the resurgence of old injustices like corruption and grave abuse of power, and, likewise by rampant violation of human rights. Therefore, in this article, we ask the primary question: where in our experiences as human beings can we find the notion of social responsibility that recognizes the inviolability of the Other? In answering this, the following tasks are undertaken: first, an exposition of the brief outline of Levinas’ notion of responsibility; second, an unfolding of Filipino sociality through the concepts of kapwa and pagpapakatao; and third, a thematic discussion of the converging and diverging points between Levinas’ notion of social responsibility and Filipino sociality to show that responsibility is a universal value with many faces.","PeriodicalId":40744,"journal":{"name":"Philippiniana Sacra","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135600647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, two hundred years ago, power play between ethnic groups flared up to disrupt the celebration of the city’s traditional Holy Week procession. The scandalous incident sparked an investigation, providing an account that is the basis of contemporary views on past traditional celebrations of these solemn events. More importantly, it unravels the social structure of the city, its ethnic composition and their inherent privileges. The Holy Week incident in Vigan was a precursor to the tense ethno-social rivalry that would also take place in the extramural towns around Manila later in the 19th century, with grave implications on the solemn traditions of the church.

Following a postcolonial trend of scholarship, many assume that this dance ritual existed prior to the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, and was merely subsumed under Catholic discourse to facilitate the conversion of the natives to Christianity. Using mostly 19 th century Spanish publications, and 20 th century American and Filipino publications, and viewing the sacred images, their patronages and rituals as a Deleuze-Guattarian assemblage, this paper challenges this rather naïve postcolonial line of thinking by arguing that the Obando assemblage that we more or less know today took more than three centuries to configure. This research paper does not only proffer a more textually grounded historical account of the configuration and reconfigurations of this popular religious assemblage, but also the first journal publication on the history of Obando Church’s sacred images, patronages, and rituals.
