The need for interaction among anthropologists
has brought about the organization of the UGNAYANG PANG-AGHAMTAO (UGAT), INC.
This association of students, teachers and workers in anthropology in the
Philippines aims to: a) promote, develop, and disseminate anthropological
knowledge; b) promote and deepen the knowledge, understanding and participation
of among different ethno-linguistic groups working towards an integrated
national consciousness and development; and c) promote and forge linkages among
anthropologists and those doing related work within the country and other parts
of the world. In the pursuit of these objectives, UGAT held its First National
Conference at the University of the
The papers read during the conference were
divided into two main concerns: Teaching and Research. For the session on
Teaching, Jules de Raedt of University of the Philippines-Baguio read a paper
on Social Anthropology and Jerome Bailen of University of the
Philippines-Diliman on Physical Anthropology. The bulk of the conference papers
were on anthropological research with Israel Cabanilla of University of the
Philippines-Diliman reading a paper on Archaeology, Francisco Datar of
University of the Philippines-Diliman on Physical Anthropology, Jonathan
Malicsi of University of the Philippines-Diliman on Ethno-Linguistics, E.
Arsenio Manuel of University of the Philippines on Philippine Ethnography,
Celia Antonio of University of the Philippines-Diliman on the Lowland Group,
Juan Francisco of the Philippine-American Educational Foundation on the
Muslims, June Prill-Brett of University of the Philippines-Baguio on the
Cordillera, Jesucita Sodusta of University of the Philippines-Diliman on
Ecology, Francisco Demetrio of Xavier University on Folklore, Leticia Lagmay of

Parpan-Pagusara of the Institute of Philippine Culture on Applied Anthropology,
Carlos Fernandez of the Development Academy of the Philippines on Ethnic
Relations, and Prospero Covar of University of the Philippines-Diliman on
Religion.
Some of these papers are reproduces in the
maiden issue of AGHAM-TAO, the official publication of the Ugnayang
Pang-Aghamtao, Inc. Unfortunately, not all the speakers were able to submit
copies of their papers before press time.
Publication of this issue has been made
possible through the assistance of the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources
Research and for this we are very grateful.
The cover design was executed by Ricardo
Tamayo of University of the Philippines-Diliman and depicts Anthropology as a
mirror for man.
