CITY
MARIKINA CITY
History and Development to a World Class City Historical Background
The Augustinians were the first to arrive at the Marikina valley in
1500, at the spot known as "chorillo" in Barangka. Next came the Jesuits in
1630, in a place now called Jesus dela Peña (Jesus of the Rocks). Here,
the Jesuits established a mission and built a chapel.In 1687, this pueblo
became a parish known as Mariquina. In 1901, with the coming of the
Americans,its name officially became Marikina. The early settlers lived
along the riverbanks and nearby fertile farms. With the industry of the
natives, combined with the know-how of the early Chinese settlers, the
farms began to produce rice and vegetables in great quantities until the
valley became part of the country's most prized hacienda.
MARIKINA CITY
History and Development to a World Class City

Historical Background
By the 19th century, Hacienda Marikina had become the biggest in
the country. For its size, natural beauty and plentiful harvest, the hacienda
was declared a "mayorazgo" (Royal Estate) by the Spanish government. In
the next century, to affirm the dignity of labor and enlist the cooperation of
the workers, the Jesuits officially named the hacienda in honor of San
Isidro labrador, the Patron of farmers.
MARIKINA CITY
History and Development to a World Class City

Historical Background
By the turn of 20th century Marikina had become a town of
shoemakers which started in 1887. Honed by years in shoe manufacturing,
the natives had developed an industrial work ethic that prepared them for
the arrival of heavy industries in the 1950's. With the industrial plants came
waves of homelss families who started to occupy every available space.
For the next three decades, Marikina would grow helter-skelter, a victim of
runaway growth. Not until 1992 would it be able to turn a corner and
reserved the trend under new leadership.
MARIKINA CITY
History and Development to a World Class City

Historical Background
On 11 June 1901, Marikina was incorporated in the newly created
Province of Rizal by Act. No. 137 of the Philippine Commission. In 1975,
when the Metro Manila Commission was created under Presidential
Decree No. 824, integrating four cities and 13 towns majority of which were
in the province of Rizal, Marikina became part of Metropolitan Manila area.
MARIKINA CITY
History and Development to a World Class City
Historical Background
Marikina soon became a victim of its own growth, creating a slew of
problems. One of these was the deterioration of the Marikina River, which
resulted from the reckless behavior of factories and squatter colonies that
lined the banks.

Recovery and Renewal Marikina jumpstarted its efforts toward

recovery and renewal in 1992. Guided by a vision of creating a modern
and livable city, it has successfully laid the foundation of a flourishing
community.
MARIKINA CITY
History and Development to a World Class City

Historical Background
On December 8, 1996. Marikina was proclaimed a city through
Republic Act 8223. Marikina has since transformed itself from a backward
community into one that boasts thriving economy and hardworking,
tenacious and disciplined citizens.

Today, Marikina is a multi-awarded city, often lauded for its vibrant

business life, highly skilled workforce, and a responsive local government
that puts a premium on governance, sustainable urban development and
public service.

MARIKINA CITY
History and Development to a World Class City
There are a lot of stories of how Marikina got its name.

1. One of the builders of the J. dela Peña chapel was a young priest
called “Mariquina” who was given the task of baptizing children to
Christianity, because of the noble work, “Mariquina” was named in
his honor to bestow upon him glory and praise.
2. When the chapel at J. dela Peña was being built, the laborers were
being supervised by How a did Marikina gets it name?
Jesuit priest. Expectedly there was a
language barrier. When the chapel was finished, the Jesuit asked
what name they would give to the structure, one worker answered
“marikit na po” thinking that what was being asked is the condition
of the chapel. As they know that “po” is a sign of respect, and they
found it difficult to express the letter “T” the marikit na , they
expressed it as Marikina.

 .This Philippine values system includes
their own unique assemblage of
consistent ideologies, moral
codes, ethical
practices, etiquette and cultural and
personal values that are promoted by
their society. As with any society
though, the values that an individual
holds sacred can differ on the basis of
religion, upbringing and other factors
 As a general description, the
distinct value system of Filipinos is
rooted primarily in personal
alliance systems, especially those
based in kinship, obligation,
friendship, religion
(particularly Christianity) and
commercial relationships. [1]
 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 F. Landa Jocano identified two models of the Filipino value system.
The first is the exogenous model or the foreign model, while the
second is the indigenous model or the traditional model. The
foreign model is described to be a "legal and formal" model. The
indigenous model is described as a "traditional and non-formal"
model or guide but is deeply embedded in the subconscious of the
Filipinos.[3]
 The foreign model was inherited by Filipinos from Western
cultures, particularly from the Spaniards and the Americans. An
example of a foreign or exogenous influence
is bureaucracy exhibited in the government of the Philippines.[3]
 Based on studies, surveys, opinions,
anecdotes, and other literatures made by
experts and researchers in relation to Filipino
social values or Filipino core values, along
with the Filipino character or Filipino
identity of a person or an individual known as
the Filipino, the Filipino value system are
found to possess inherent key elements.
One can note
how Hiya (propriety/dignity), Pakikisama(companionship/
esteem), and Utang na loob(gratitude/solidarity), are
merely: Surface Values- readily seen and observed values
exhibited and esteemed by many Filipinos. These three
values are considered branches from a single origin- the
actual Core Value of the Filipino Personality- Kapwa. It
means 'togetherness', and refers to community, or not
doing things alone. Kapwa has two categories, Ibang
Tao (other people) and Hindi Ibang Tao (not other people).
The Surface Values spin off of the Core Value through
the Pivotal Aspect of Pakikiramdam, or shared inner
perception ("Feeling for another").
 Other notable key elements or motivations
are optimism about the
future, pessimism with regards to present
situations and events, the concern and care
for other people, the existence of friendship
and friendliness, the habit of being
hospitable, religious nature, respectfulness
to self and others, respect for the female
members of society, the fear of God, and
abhorrence of acts of cheating and
thievery.[5]
 The values of Filipinos specifically upholds the following
items: solidarity of the family unit, security of the Philippine
economy, orientation to small-groups, personalism, the
concepts of "loob" or "kalooban" (meaning "what’s inside the
self", the "inner-self", or the "actual personal feelings of the
self"), existence and maintenance of smooth interpersonal
relationships, and the sensing of the feelings or needs of
others (known as pakikiramdam). In a larger picture, these
values are grouped into general clusters or "macroclusters":
namely, the relationship cluster, the social cluster, the
livelihood cluster, the inwardness cluster, and the optimism
cluster.[5]
  Pagkakabuklod-buklod

The Filipinos recognize their

family as an important social
structure that one must take care
of. They give importance to the
safety and unity of one’s family. It
is also common to find the whole
clan living in the same area and
have extended family structure.
 In relation to parenthood, bearing male and female children
depends on the preferences of the parents based on the expected
roles that each gender would assume once grown up. Both
genders are expected to become responsible members of the
family and their society. Women in the Philippines are expected to
become caring and nurturing mothers for their own children.[12]
 Female Filipinos are also expected to lend a hand in household
work. They are even anticipated to offer assistance after being
married. On the other hand, Filipino men are expected to assume
the role of becoming the primary source of income and financial
support of his family.[12]

 According to everyculture.com: Filipinos believe in the need for
social acceptance and feel that education can provide upward
mobility. Color of skin, beauty, and money are the criteria that
determine a person's social position. Light coloring is correlated with
intelligence and a light-skinned attractive person will receive
advancement before his or her colleagues. Family position and
patron-client associations are useful in achieving success.
Government officials, wealthy friends, and community leaders are
sponsors at hundreds of weddings and baptisms each year. Those
connections are of great importance. [Source: everyculture.com /=/]
 Money to buy consumer goods is an indicator of power. Wealthy
people lead western lifestyles.
 They travel abroad frequently and pride themselves on
the number of Westerners they have as friends. Since
few people outside Manila have a family car, owning a
vehicle is a clear statement of a high social level. Houses
and furnishings show a person's social position.
Upholstered furniture instead of the traditional wooden
couches and beds, rows of electrical appliances that are
never used and area rugs are all important. Sending
one's children to the best schools is the most important
indicator of social position. The best schools often are
private schools and are quite expensive. /=/
 There are three social classes in the country based on
income and national wealth. The members of the rich
class represent about 10 percent of the population
but own or earn about 90 percent of the wealth of the
country. They are composed of wealthy industrialists
with big corporations and owners of large haciendas
or plantations. The members of the middle class
represent about 20 percent of the population. They
are composed of professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc.).
The members of the lower or poor class comprise
about 70 percent of the population but they only earn
or share 10 percent of the wealth. They often cannot
earn enough to be able to buy necessities in life, save
for emergencies or for future needs. The poor could
become rich by education and by hard work. [Source:
Canadian Center for Intercultural Learning+++]
 The extremely affluent and politically powerful elite still
controls most of Filipino economy, business and
political activities. The middle class is small and the
lower middle class much larger. Its members live in
urban areas and, typically, can only meet some of their
extend family needs with no social safety net to fall
back on. There are large numbers of urban poor who
live in substandard dwellings on land they rarely have
formal rights to use, who face food security problems
and have serious deficiencies in meeting basic human
needs. +++

 Four underlying principles
 Four principles are posited to underlie social
stratification.
 First, social stratification is socially defined as a
property of a society rather than individuals in that
society.
 Second, social stratification is reproduced from
generation to generation.
 Third, social stratification is universal (found in every
society) but variable (differs across time and place).
Fourth, social stratification involves not just
quantitative inequality but qualitative beliefs and
attitudes about social status.[3]
 Communal society, cooperative group formed on the basis of
shared interests (e.g., religious or political) and emphasizing the
needs of the community above those of the individual.

 NATION-BUILDING
Nation-building is a significant undertaking that governments employ to develop
political, economic, security, and social institutions in other countries—especially those
emerging from conflict. Governments conduct those activities abroad to secure their
own national interests.
Nation-building is the process whereby a society of people with diverse origins,
histories, languages, cultures and religions come together within the boundaries of a
sovereign state with a unified constitutional and legal dispensation, a national public
education system, an integrated national economy, shared symbols and values, as
equals, to work towards eradicating the divisions and injustices of the past; to foster
unity; and promote a countrywide conscious sense of being proudly South African,
committed to the country and open to the continent and the world.
