UNACOMODELI

UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index

The UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index (UNACOMODELI) aims to support UNESCO’s core mission of building peace in the minds of the people through education, science, culture, and communication.

The UNACOM Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index is developed to advance the mutual knowledge and understanding, and encourage cooperation among the nations in all branches of intellectual activity, such as the exchange of publications, objects of artistic and scientific interest, and other information materials. UNACOMODELI will serve as UNACOM’s institutional memory and a source of high-quality information on UNACOM's intellectual activities (in education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, and communication and information). The ultimate goal is to share knowledge and to transmit it to future generations.

Particularly, it aims to:

  • Provide online access to UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) publications, documents, and other materials.
  • Index and promote UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM)-sponsored and -collaborative publications, and national committee members' and partner agencies’ publications, reports, policies, laws, legislations, articles, and other materials.
  • Gather and index materials in the country that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, address the Ocean Decade challenges, and build capacity in the identification, inventorying, and safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage.

The UNACOMODELI collections include UNESCO and UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) publications, speeches, press releases, capacity building materials, UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM)-sponsored publications, and other publications of interest to UNESCO.

Albay, one of UNESCO’s newly-declared biosphere reserves

The Man and The Biosphere Program (MAB) was created by UNESCO in the 1970, which is said to be “an intergovernmental scientific endeavour to improve relations between people around the world and their natural environment.” Each year, different reserves are designated by the council, formed by elected 34 UNESCO representatives from member states.

Manuel L. Quezon: How he secured the independence law from the United States
Sicat, Gerardo P. (Philstar Daily, Inc., 2015-08-15)
I write about Manuel L. Quezon (the president of the Philippine Commonwealth) for two reasons. First, it is a good introduction to our political season as we commit to choose a new leader next year. Second, and more important, August 19 marks his birthday anniversary. Manuel Quezon dominated our country’s politics from 1916 to the early 1940s. The biggest monument for a national hero that was ever constructed in the country is dedicated to him at the Quezon City Memorial Circle. The provinces of Quezon and Aurora are named after him and his wife.

First book(s)
Ocampo, Ambeth R. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, 2013-01-15)
History teachers have a fetish for firsts: first sundial in the Philippines, first adobo, first destructive storm/earthquake, first woman president, first hero, first Miss Universe, First Filipino. Endless is the list that torments students who not only have to know these bits of useless information but memorize them for a quiz. As I began 2013 with columns on books, we might as well know that there was not one but two (perhaps even more) books published in Manila in 1593 that are jointly considered the first.
