One of the most influential journalists in the Philippines

The Teodoro F. Valencia Professorial Chair in Journalism memorializes a man who was dubbed by the Associated Press as “one of the most influential journalists in the Philippines.” One of the first graduates of the University’s Journalism program, Teodoro “Ka Doroy” F. Valencia was a columnist and commentator best known for his column “Over a Cup of Coffee” and for his radio commentaries. The professorial chair in his honor was established by the Teodoro F. Valencia Foundation, Inc. and UST in 1988 to “improve journalism in the Philippines” and to “affirm UST’s commitment to inculcate in her students a Catholic moral principle and responsible press based on truth and justice.”

A decorated scholar of the Humanities

The Professorial Chair Holder, Professor Joyce Arriola, PhD, is a multi-awarded scholar, having received the Outstanding Book Award from the National Academy of Science and Technology and the 2018 Outstanding Achievement in Research in the Humanities Awardee by the National Research Council of the Philippines. A prolific researcher and an experienced administrator, she was the inaugural Director of the Research Center for Culture, Arts, and the Humanities and as the last Director of the old Center for Intercultural Studies. With academic credentials in literature, journalism, and communication, Arriola conducts multidisciplinary studies, specifically in cultural and memory studies.

Arriola teaches at the Faculty of Arts and Letters’s Department of Literature, where she was former Chair, and the Department of Communication and Media Studies, which she likewise headed years back.

Pelikulang Komiks tackles the major assumptions of a proposed/emergent Filipino komiks-to-film adaptation theory based on archival texts from the 1950s. The main concern of Arriola鈥檚 work is to present the concepts and assumptions about komiks-to-film adaptation that will constitute the proposed Filipino film adaptation theory. 

鈥淎t a time when comic book characters appear on the big screen with some regularity, and American research on comics-to-film adaptation is ripe, Joyce L. Arriola’s book is most welcome. Not only does Pelikulang Komiks…offer a non-Western perspective on film adaptation, but it does so with systematic research, thorough analysis, and clear expression. Professor Arriola has made a significant contribution to both cinema and comic art theory for which we are grateful,鈥� writes John A. Lent, publisher/editor-in-chief International Journal of Comic Art.

鈥淛oyce L. Arriola鈥檚 new book is a remarkably prescient study of Filipino popular culture. Combining in equal measure historical imagination, cultural understanding, and sensitivity to film and komiks, it generates numerous insights and pathways of inquiry that the interested reader can pursue with profit. Carefully researched, lucidly written, cogently argued, and theoretically sophisticated, this book will make a distinctive contribution to the growing body of critical literature on Asian popular culture.鈥� Professor Wimal Dissanayake of the Academy for Creative Media-University of Hawaii writes in the blurb.

Arriola, a multi-awarded academic and the 2018 Research Council of the Philippines Achievement Awardee for Humanities Research, is a research fellow of the Research Center for Culture, Arts, and the Humanities, where she was also Founding Director. She teaches at the Graduate School and the Faculty of Arts and Letters, where she used to head the Department of Communication and Media Studies and the Department of Literature and the Humanities.
