BAGUIO CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE Baguio City, Philippines, 7-9 February 2008 |
|
|
The University of the Philippines Baguio (UPB), through its Cordillera Studies Center (CSC), will hold the BAGUIO CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE on 6-7 March 2009 in Baguio City, Philippines. Held in conjunction with the celebration of the Centennial of the City of Baguio, the 2009 conference will address the general theme of "Patterns of Change: From Colonial Hill Station to Modern Metropolis."
Established as a chartered city on 1 September 1909, the city of Baguio was developed primarily as a rest and recreation center for members of the American colonial bureaucracy in the Philippines. Like the colonial hill stations built in other parts of Asia during the age of Empire, Baguio served as a haven offering refuge from tropical heat while also serving as a reminder of the homeland to the Westerners who retreated to this highland resort. Baguio remained as vacation capital of the Philippines long after the end of the American Regime. Today, it is a metropolis bursting at the seams.
Calling attention to the unhappy state to which the colonial hill stations of Asia had fallen, Robert Reed wrote that without the intervention of tourists and political benefactors, "their future prospects for controlled growth, appropriate and sustainable development, and effective environmental management appeared bleak." The year of the centennial is the most appropriate time to cast another look at Baguio's past, to examine its present state, and to envision its future.
TOPICS AND OBJECTIVESThough open to the discussion of diverse subject matter related to the history and development of Baguio, the conference shall put a special stress on the following topics:
