Bon Toc, Philippine

| Bontoc, Philippines Moerman traveled to Bagio where there was a step rice field which had high productivity. The dam construction caused conflict among the villagers, because it could result in flooding over the city and the residential area of the villagers. But the government of Marcos wanted to support industrial and development projects, and as a consequence, the state condemned the blockade of the dam as communist. The government dealt with highlanders by expelling them from the area. Moerman also noted the religion of the village and attitudes of outsiders. Ato is an association of people involved in conflict. In Bontoc there were 17 ato, from which a member of each village was nominated as representative. The Philippines called the hill tribes Igorot but the people called themselves Tribally. At the present time, the Igorot who had been studied called themselves Bontoc. | Punch card

Bali

| Bali Celebration at the temple pura desa for (Record card) Performance and worship for the Hindu deity. According to Balinese belief, there was the only one god, but he appeared in many forms. The offerings were presents to the river, air and food. Work and income of the Balinese was also highlighted. Balinese sold land to send their children for higher education, and to finance the cremation of deceased family members. Leaders had decision-making power in village management, with the approval of the people in the village. A cock-fight would be held for a festival of the temple, to sacrifice blood for the spirit. The Balinese believed TV was boring and did not let children watch too much, because it would impair learning. Students would use the Indonesian language, rather than Balinese, to avoid the racist implications. A celebration at Banjar Temple was to celebrate the new sanctuary. People brought out offering to sacrifice to the spirits, and a wayang wong performance. The villagers would kill pigs and goats to cook. | Punch card

talk with Boetisantoso (13 Nov. 79)

| Talking to Boetisantoso November 13, 1979. Boetisantoso was a consultant with the State Television and Ministry of Culture, and studied the impact of satellite communications, especially television. Advertising did not change the consumption patterns of people in rural areas. People watched television for entertainment rather than for learning, and news was to strengthen the leadership. In Java or Bali television was not in high demand, and a TV at the home of a key person or the public was considered sufficient. TV represented the affluence of an important person. People invested in the purchase of land, buffalo or other resources rather than buy a TV set, listening more to the radio. | Punch card

Phya Anuman tell why he was successful

| 1969 | February 4, 1969 Praya Annumanrajadhon shared why he was so successful - because he knew people.

When there was a conflict with the supervisor, he would wait until the supervisor was in good humor, and then discussed it. He would work as perfectly as possible, ignoring whether his supervisor would think he knew more than him. | Punch card
