¡Saludos desde el Instituto Cervantes de Manila!
Gracias al creciente interés por el idioma español
y a la sólida colaboración con las autoridades de
Filipinas, ampliamos a partir de mayo nuestros
espacios para actividades académicas y
culturales. Nos cabe el orgullo de presentaros la
CASA AZUL, el espacio cultural que el Instituto
Cervantes pone a vuestra disposición, ampliando
en Intramuros nuestras instalaciones de Makati.
Con más de 415 metros cuadrados distribuidos
en dos plantas, hemos equipado este bello
edificio en el histórico corazón de Manila en
torno a un amplio patio ajardinado, con un
auditorio para 95 espectadores, una amplia
sala de exposiciones de 60 metros cuadrados,
y en su planta alta, un punto de encuentro para
estudiantes de español y los participantes
de las actividades culturales del Instituto
Cervantes con la Biblioteca Miguel Hernández y
su magnífica sala de lectura. En las dos amplias
aulas de la planta superior se imparten cursos de
español a quienes están interesados en aprender
este idioma de forma eficaz, económica y
divertida.
Con este espacio, el Instituto Cervantes de
Manila refuerza la oferta cultural y educativa
de Manila en general e Intramuros en particular,
con la satisfacción de servir de punto focal
para la difusión en Filipinas de las culturas de
España y los países de habla hispana, hoy más
que nunca con la mirada puesta en las culturas
iberoamericanas.
Con la celebración de Viva Europa 2018 como
telón de fondo, en las próximas páginas podréis

The two spacious classrooms on the upper

as a focal point for the dissemination in the
Philippines of Spanish culture as well as
that of Spanish-speaking countries; today

La sucesión de eventos entre la llegada de la expedición de Miguel López de Legazpi a Filipinas

en 1565, hasta la fundación de Manila en 1571, suscita varias dudas sobre los objetivos de
colonización del archipiélago por parte de los españoles. Sin embargo, una lectura detallada
ofrece claves sobre el cambio de atención de Cebú a Luzón. Los españoles entraron en conflicto
con los portugueses y aprendieron simultáneamente acerca de nuevas oportunidades en la
cercanía de China.

The events that took place between the Legazpi expedition to the Philippines in 1565, until the
foundation of Manila in 1571, brings forward several questions regarding the objectives for
the colonization of the Philippine archipelago by the Spaniards. However, a close lecture of the
history offers key aspects on the strategic turn from Cebu to Luzon. The Spaniards engaged in
a conflict with the Portuguese and simultaneously learned about new opportunities that arouse
due to the closeness with China.

LUGAR VENUE:
San Ignacio Church, Intramuros

Galardonada con el Leon de Oro de la Bienal de Arquitectura de Venecia 2016,
la exposición Unfinished vuelve a cobrar vida en la ciudad amurallada de Manila,
concretamente en la iglesia de San Ignacio, en donde podrá verse durante tres
meses desde el 21 de junio gracias a la Embajada de España en Filipinas, la
Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID), el
Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (MECD), el Instituto Cervantes de
Manila, Intramuros Administration y la Escuela Taller de Filipinas Foundation. La
exposición, que muestra la ingenuidad del hombre ante la adversidad, se compone
de una serie fotográfica sobre las posibles soluciones a los problemas que han
emergido de la crisis financiera que afecta a España desde 2008, la cual ha hecho
de arquitectura una práctica insostenible y ha dado lugar al abandono de muchos
proyectos de construcción, quedando inacabados. Más que en resultados, la
muestra centra la atención en procesos, en un intento de descubrir estrategias
de diseño generadas por una perspectiva optimista de los edificios construidos.
Esos proyectos han entendido las lecciones del pasado reciente y consideran
la arquitectura como algo inacabado, en un constante estado de evolución y
realmente al servicio de la humanidad. El momento actual de incertidumbre en el
ámbito arquitectónico hace esta cuestión especialmente relevante.

Awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016, the exhibition
Unfinished finds a new host in the historic Walled City of Manila as the San Ignacio
Church becomes the venue where local enthusiasts will be able to view it for three
months from the 21st of June, a project made possible by the Embassy of Spain
in the Philippines, the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation
(AECID), the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports (MECD), the Instituto
Cervantes de Manila, the Intramuros Administration and the Escuela Taller de
Filipinas Foundation. Showcasing man’s ingenuity in the face of adversity, the
exhibit is a photographic series of possible solutions to problems that have emerged
from the financial crisis affecting Spain since 2008 that has made the practice
of architecture unfeasible and has thus led to the abandonment of construction
projects, consequently resulting into many unfinished buildings. The exhibit seeks
to direct attention to processes more than results in an attempt to discover design
strategies generated by an optimistic view of the constructed environment. These
projects have understood the lessons of the recent past and consider architecture
to be something unfinished, in a constant state of evolution and truly in the service
of humanity. The current moment of uncertainty in the architectural profession
makes its consideration here especially relevant.

FECHA DATE: 30 de junio de 2018
Establecido en virtud de la Ley de la República
de Filipinas n° 9187 de 22-VII-2002, a
propuesta del senador Angara, el Día de la
Amistad entre España y Filipinas conmemora
los fuertes vínculos entre las dos naciones.
Desde 2003 se celebra cada 30 de junio,
fecha en la que el general Emilio Aguinaldo,
presidente de la primera República Filipina,
emitió una orden por la cual se decretaba
que los últimos soldados españoles que se
habían atrincherado en la iglesia de Baler
durante casi un año no fueran tratados no
como enemigos, y que recibieran la asistencia
necesaria para su retorno a España. Hoy ese
episodio es el símbolo de la amistad entre
ambos países.

By virtue of the Republic Act No. 9187, which
was initiated by Senator Edgardo Angara,
the Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day was
established on July 22, 2002. It highlights the
strong links between the Philippines and
Spain. Since 2003, it is celebrated every June
30, commemorating the date of 1899 when
Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, then president of the
Malolos Republic, issued a decree to treat
as friends the last Spanish soldiers who had
resisted inside the Baler’s church for almost
one year, and that they be provided all the
necessary assistance for their return to Spain.
Today, it is the symbol of the friendship
between both countries.
