Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tricare program in the Philippines has been a failure of epic proportion among the first 3 and most important of the following stakeholders: (1) Tricare beneficiaries; (2) Tricare healthcare providers; (3) American taxpayers; (4) Oversight of the Tricare program: U.S. Congress; (5) Administrator of the Tricare program: Defense Health Agency/TRICARE Management Activity (DHA/TMA); and, (6) Tricare contractor: International SOS (ISOS) in the Philippines. Putting it another way, the DHA/TMA and ISOS took an imperfect but partially working model in the Philippines, and made it progressively worse to the point where nothing works, unnecessarily spawning thousands of tragedies, where Tricare beneficiaries and providers are up in arms anytime the word Tricare is mentioned, and where DHA/TMA and ISOS are the only 2 parties congratulating each other on the dysfunctions and tragedies they facilitated, exacerbated and perpetrated.

Book excerpt: Set during a time of political upheaval and civil unrest, The Betrayed tells a sensual and sprawling story about two sisters who love the same man. Passionately told, and portraying a Philippines rarely seen in fiction, Reine Archache Melvin's American debut is a gripping, sensual story that readers will not soon forget. Shy, idealistic Pilar is resolved to carry on her dead father's fight against the dictatorial regime in control of their homeland, while her flamboyant older sister Lali reacts to their father's death by marrying the enemy--Arturo, the dictator's godson. Each sister is prey to her desires and ambitions as she tries to find her place in a rapidly changing world. Taking in the Philippines' troubled history from the Marcos dictatorship to the establishment of the current autocratic regime, and expertly layering into this timely story many aspects of the human condition, The Betrayed is a complex and luminous novel.
Download or read book On Betrayal written by Avishai Margalit and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Seamlessly combines analytic rigor with personal memoir . . . its arguments are drawn from political history . . . Biblical commentary . . . novels and biographies.” (Amélie Rorty, Tufts University) Adultery, treason, and apostasy no longer carry the weight they once did. Yet we constantly see and hear stories of betrayal. Avishai Margalit argues that the tension between the ubiquity of betrayal and the loosening of its hold is a sign of the strain between ethics and morality, between thick and thin human relations. On Betrayal offers a philosophical account of thick human relations?relationships with friends, family, and core communities?through their pathology, betrayal. Judgments of betrayal often shift unreliably. A traitor to one side is a hero to the other. Yet the notion of what it means to betray is remarkably consistent across cultures and eras. Betrayal undermines thick trust, dissolving the glue that holds our most meaningful relationships together. On Betrayal is about ethics: what we owe to the people and groups that give us our sense of belonging. Drawing on literary, historical, and personal sources, Maraglit examines what our thick relationships are and should be and revives the long-discarded notion of fraternity. “Provocative and illuminating.” —Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study “Witty and wise, precise and profound, On Betrayal is an easy but deep read: it sees life as it really is with all its turmoil.” —The Christian Century “The range of Margalit’s examples is astonishing. . . . He is much more knowledgeable about and comfortable with communities (and in communities) than most philosophers are, and so he is very good at recognizing when they go wrong.” —New York Review of Books

Download or read book Betrayals And Treason written by Nachman Ben-yehuda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Betrayals and Treason Nachman Ben-Yehuda identifies the universal structure of betrayals as the violation of trust and loyalty and charts the different manifestations and constructions of these violations, all within numerous cases across time, place, and cultures. Betrayals do not just lie in the eyes of the beholder, completely relative. While the very idea of betrayals is a social construct, underlying it is a universal structure of violations of both trust and loyalty. Whenever this structure materializes, the label "betrayal" is invoked and applied.

Book excerpt: A Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Year From the award-winning author of Waiting and War Trash: a riveting tale of espionage and conflicted loyalties that spans half a century in the entwined histories of two countries—China and the United States—and two families. When Lilian Shang, born and raised in America, discovers her father’s diary after the death of her parents, she is shocked by the secrets it contains. She knew that her father, Gary, convicted decades ago of being a mole in the CIA, was the most important Chinese spy ever caught. But his diary, an astonishing chronicle of his journey as a Communist intelligence agent, reveals the pain and longing that his double life entailed—and point to a hidden second family that he’d left behind in China. As Lilian follows her father’s trail back into the Chinese provinces, she begins to grasp the extent of his dilemma: he is a man torn between loyalty to his motherland and the love he came to feel for his adopted country. She sees how his sense of duty distorted his life, and as she starts to understand that Gary too had been betrayed, Lilian finds that it is up to her to prevent his tragedy from endangering yet another generation of Shangs. A stunning portrait of a multinational family and an unflinching inquiry into the meaning of citizenship, patriotism, and home, A Map of Betrayal is a spy novel that only Ha Jin could write.

Book excerpt: A Primer on U.S. NEOCOLONIALISM and the PHILIPPINE CRISIS The story of how the post-war imperialism of the U.S. IMF-WB Group reduced what was the preeminent developing economy in the Asia-Pacific in the fifties to the humanitarian disaster that it is today where 80 percent of the population live in hunger conditions. An introduction to development economics and the post-war economic history of the Philippines as a neocolony of the U.S. CITIZENS' COMMITTEE ON THE NATIONAL CRISIS ] + + + Pope John Paul said the continuing plight of the Third World was caused directly by peoples and groups who wanted to keep developing countries poor. The unbalanced development taking place at present and posing the greatest threat to the stability of the world- where the rising material standards of some are in stark contrast with the deepening poverty and misery of oth- ers- is not the result of uncontrolled forces, but of decisions made by individuals and groups, he said. -- Imperialists blamed for havenots' plight Philippine Journal, June 9,1989 + + + + + ABOUT THE AUTHOR ALEJANDRO LICHAUCO, political economist and member of the Philippine Bar, is a prominent figure in the nationalist move- ment. He started his career in nationalist advocacy in the '50s when he joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of Claro M. Recto. In the '60s he became a charter member of the Movement for the Advancement of Nationalism (MAN) which he served as its ex- ecutive vice-chairman. In 1970 Lichauco was elected to represent the 1st district of Rizal in the '71 Constitutional Convention. In the convention he submitted a paper on U.S. imperialism in the Philippines. A week after martial law was declared, Lichauco was arrested as he left the convention floor and detained at Camp Crame as a political prisoner. He was charged with subversion for his activities in MAN and for his paper on American imperialism. His paper on American imperialism was published by the Monthly Review Press of N.Y. as the Lichauco Paper. Lichauco was among the 12 delegates who refused to sign the martial law Constitution for which he was placed under house arrest after his release from detention. Following Edsa 1, Lichauco turned to writing and among his principal books are Towards a New Economic Order and the Con- quest of Mass Poverty (1986), Nationalist Economics (1988) and The Philippine Crisis (1992). His writings have focused on the histori- cal connection between U.S. imperialism and mass poverty in the Philippines. Last year, he filed a paper with the Senate outlining the case for debt repudiation. Lichauco graduated from Harvard College with the degree of B.A. in economics and from the Harvard Law School with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He was at one time policy director of the Philippine Chamber of Industries, director of the Institute of Economic Studies of Araneta University, senior consultant to the Congressional Economic Planning Office and head of the policy research department of the National Economic Council (now NEDA). He is married to the former Maria Teresa Hontiveros of Capiz, Capiz.

Book excerpt: "Hernando J. Abaya ... in his latest book traces the tortuous path of Philippine politics from World War II down to the Marcos years. He demonstrates how the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces in the Far East, the late General MacArthur, in effect reversed the Roosevelt-Ickes policy toward the collaborationist elite in the Philippines and placed them back in power, enabling the reactionary forces to regain control of the Philippine government and ultimately eliminate those who had in fact resisted the Japanese invaders and how, in the post war years, the liberal and nationalist-minded were hounded and tarred with the communist paintbrush with the help of American advisers and secret service agents"--Foreword.
Download or read book Bound to Empire The United States and the Philippines written by H. W. Brands Professor of History Texas A & M University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992-09-17 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the day Commodore Dewey's battleships destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila to the closing of the Subic Bay naval base in 1992, America and the Philippines have shared a long and tangled history. It has been a century of war and colonialism, earnest reforms and blatant corruption, diplomatic maneuvering and political intrigue, an era colored by dramatic events and striking personalities. In Bound to Empire, acclaimed historian H.W. Brands gives us a brilliant account of the American involvement in the Philippines in a sweeping narrative filled with analytical insight. Ranging from the Spanish-American War to the fall of Ferdinand Marcos and beyond, Brands deftly weaves together the histories of both nations as he assesses America's great experiment with empire. He leaps from the turbulent American scene in the 1890s--the labor unrest, the panic of 1893, the emergence of Progressivism, the growing tension with Spain--to the shores of the newly acquired colony: Dewey's conquest of Manila, the vicious war against the Philippine insurgents, and the founding of American civilian rule. As Brands takes us through the following century, describing the efforts to "civilize" the Filipinos, the shaping of Philippine political practices, the impact of General MacArthur, and World War II and the Cold War, he provides fascinating insight into the forces and institutions that made American rule what it was, and the Republic of the Philippines what it is today. He uncovers the origins of the corruption and nepotism of post-independence Philippine politics, as well as the ambivalence of American rule, in which liberal principles of self-determination clashed with the desire for empire and a preoccupation first with Japan and later with communism. The book comes right up to the present day, with an incisive account of the rise and fall of Ferdinand Marcos, the accession (and subsequent troubles) of Corazon Aquino, the Communist guerrilla insurgency, and the debate over the American military bases. "Damn the Americans!" Manuel Quezon once said. "Why don't they tyrannize us more?" Indeed, as Brands writes, American rule in the Philippines was more benign than that of any other colonial power in the Pacific region. Yet it failed to foster a genuine democracy. This fascinating book explains why, in a perceptive account of a century of empire and its aftermath.
Download or read book The Betrayal of Faith written by Emma Anderson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma Anderson uses one man's compelling story to explore the collision of Christianity with traditional Native religion in colonial North America. Pierre-Anthoine Pastedechouan was born into a nomadic indigenous community of Innu living along the St. Lawrence River in present-day Quebec. At age eleven, he was sent to France by Catholic missionaries to be educated for five years, and then brought back to help Christianize his people. Pastedechouan's youthful encounter with French Catholicism engendered in him a fatal religious ambivalence. Robbed of both his traditional religious identity and critical survival skills, he had difficulty winning the acceptance of his community upon his return. At the same time, his attempts to prove himself to his people led the Jesuits to regard him with increasing suspicion. Suspended between two worlds, Pastedechouan ultimately became estranged--with tragic results--from both his native community and his missionary mentors. An engaging narrative of cultural negotiation and religious coercion, Betrayal of Faith documents the multiple betrayals of identity and culture caused by one young man's experiences with an inflexible French Catholicism. Pastedechouan's story illuminates key struggles to retain and impose religious identity on both sides of the seventeenth-century Atlantic, even as it has a startling relevance to the contemporary encounter between native and non-native peoples.
