It also has not yet thoroughly examined the unjust judicial consequences of the postwar treason trials under the People’s Court, which acquitted most of the accused rural elites and convicted many poor landless peasants who faced the same charges. This article examines the case of Sagay, Negros Occidental, to clarify how the landed rich used the poor in collaborating with the Japanese to protect their sugar interests and how the social division among Negrenses deepened after the war.","PeriodicalId":42268,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Studies-Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135739083","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}

Meteorology’s scientific empiricism was introduced to a general atmospheric rhetoric tending toward allegorical and romantic figurations, creating a palpable shift in signifying maneuvers, both political and literary. The convergence and divergence of these different storm-knowledges in the popular folk imagination of the Philippines map the ways these varying elements were tactically assembled, and give an account of how folk writers actively engaged and became entangled with their environmental and political worlds.","PeriodicalId":42268,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Studies-Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135696611","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}

The answer is contextualized in terms of Spain’s search for a tax that would allow terminating the tobacco monopoly, subsidizing Madrid, and funding the modernization and retention of the Philippines under Spain’s sovereignty. Spanish officialdom regarded the race-based tribute system as anomalous, antiquated, and constrained in expanding the tax base. In 1885 Spain instituted the cédulas personales, which charged tax rates based on economic capacity. Did Spain attain its aims? Fiscally, yes; but its gradualist approach to forestall resistance did not prevent disaffection and revolution.","PeriodicalId":42268,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Studies-Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135696604","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}
