UP Cebu has gone through war and upheavals, political and administrative opposition, uncertainty and tension, and has risen above it all. It has mastered the art of rebirth and reinvention, changing its name eleven times throughout its 100-year history—from the Junior College of Liberal Arts in 1918 to Cebu College in UP in 1947, to the UP Graduate School in Cebu in 1963, to the UP Visayas Cebu College in 1987, to the UP Cebu College in 2010, and finally to UP Cebu. Pusô and UP Cebu UP Cebu was formerly one of the UP Visayas campuses and became an autonomous college under the UP Office of the President in September 2010. Autonomy was granted to better serve the needs of its region— a region that is aggressively asserting itself as an area for direct and foreign investments. This is why its focus is on the strengthening of its information technology and business programs. In 2016, UP Cebu was declared a constituent university of the UP System.

This article focuses on the two largest metropolitan areas in the Visayan Islands, Cebu City and Iloilo City. The Cebu City government, with strong personal ties to President Rodrigo Duterte, acquiesced to the national government’s takeover with uniformed personnel deployed for enforcement. Municipal Level-Democratic Dialogue Towards Empowerment and Genuine Community Development: The Municipal Talakayan Experience by Ana Leah Dungog-Cuizon The Municipal Talakayan” (Talakayan for brevity), translated in the Visayan Dialect as Panaghisgutay” is an internal evaluation tool which brings together the local stakeholders to a municipal level democratic dialogue. It is both a diagnostic and capacity-building tool. The goal of the Talakayan which is to build local capacities is best achieved through knowledge generation, sharing and collaborative self-assessment among stakeholders.

Sacramento and Piyapong Boossabong Strengthened by rigorous developments in foundational principles and methods, the technocratic-vs-deliberative debate has long lapsed in policy analysis discourse. We attempt to remedy this debate by illustrating the case of Fah Ham smart city planning in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT): In the Lens of Philippine Decentralization by Ana Leah Dungog-Cuizon, Cyril Bryan Cuizon, Roselle Jardin While there had been several initiatives aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and impact of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program, not one has zeroed in on which political set-up the CCT is best compatible with. This study examined how the decentralized political set-up of the Philippines affects the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in the achievement of its goal as a development initiative. Authoritarian Values and Institutional Trust: Theoretical Considerations and Evidence from the Philippines by Ronald R. Pernia Studies on authoritarian values, which have mostly focused on authoritarian regimes and on democracies with spells of authoritarianism, suggest trust in public institutions.
