'''Josephine Caulfield''' (born 1965 in Wales) is a British stand-up comedian and comedy writer. |
|||
'''Benguet''' is a landlocked [[Provinces of the Philippines|province]] of the [[Philippines]] in the [[Cordillera Administrative Region]] in [[Luzon]]. Its capital is [[La Trinidad, Benguet|La Trinidad]] and borders, clockwise from the south, [[Pangasinan]], [[La Union province|La Union]], [[Ilocos Sur]], [[Mountain Province]], [[Ifugao]], and [[Nueva Vizcaya]]. |
|||
==Early life== |
|||
[[Baguio City]], a popular tourist destination in the country, is located in the interior of the province, however, the city is independent of the province. |
|||
Caulfield was born in Wales to Irish parents and brought up in England. Before getting into comedy she worked as a waitress. |
|||
== |
==Comedy career== |
||
=== |
===Stand-up=== |
||
She has appeared at major comedy clubs, both in the UK and overseas, and has completed three nationwide tours, in support of [[Graham Norton]], [[Puppetry of the Penis]], and [[Rory Bremner]]. For the last four years, Jo has taken her solo [[stand-up comedy]] show to the [[Edinburgh Fringe]]. |
|||
{{Main|Igorot}} |
|||
'''Cordillerano''', or ''Cordilleran'', is an unofficial and relatively recent term for the people of the hill tribes of Luzon, Philippines, who are residing in the Cordillera and Caraballo mountains. This term is an attempt at political correctness, since a current term, Igorot, has caused controversy due to its perceived negative stigma, which is incorrectly connected to backwardness and inferiority. Of the people in the Cordilleras, some Kalinga and Ifugao refuse to be called Igorot. On the other hand, most Igorot tribes, along with some Kalinga and Ifugao consider themselves as part of the Igorot people. |
|||
=== |
===Writing=== |
||
She has been a Comedy Writer/Programme Consultant for all five series of the [[BAFTA]] Award-winning ''[[So Graham Norton]]''. She was also head writer for [[Ruby Wax]]'s ''Waiting Game''. |
|||
===Television=== |
|||
Based on the May 2000 [[census]], Benguet has a total population of 330,129, which makes it the most populous province in the region. This figure is up by 16,296 from 313,833 persons recorded in the 1995 census, giving an annual growth rate of 1.09% during the 5-year period—much, much lower than the national average of 2.43%. If this growth rate were maintained, Benguet would double its population in approximately 64 years. |
|||
Caulfield's own TV appearances include ''[[Never Mind The Buzzcocks]]'', ''[[Mock the Week]]'', ''The Stand-up Show'', ''[[The Comedy Store]]'', ''The World Stands Up'', ''Take the Mike'', and ''Stitch-Up''. |
|||
She is also a TV warm-up artist, and is the regular warm-up for ''[[V Graham Norton]]''. Other TV shows she works on include:''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' (with one appearance as a contestant), ''[[Alistair McGowan's Big Impression]]'', ''[[Bremner, Bird and Fortune]]'', ''[[Gimme Gimme Gimme (TV series)|Gimme Gimme Gimme]]'', ''[[Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps]]'', and ''[[Perfect World]]''. |
|||
The province registered at 63,123 households, an increase of 4,588 households over the 1990 figure. This gave an average household size of 5.2 persons, a little higher than the national average of 4.99. |
|||
Acting credits include ''[[Family Affairs]]'', ''[[Days Like These]]'', ''[[Beast (Sitcom)|Beast]]'', and ''[[Get Real]]''. |
|||
Benguet is the homeland of several tribes, collectively referred to as the [[Igorot]]. Two of them, the [[Ibaloi]] in the southeast and the [[Igorot#The Kankana-ey|Kankana-ey]] in the northwest, are the dominant tribes of Benguet. In the 2000 census, 43% of the household population were Kankana-ey. About 29.2% were Ibaloi and 13.4% were [[Ilocos|Ilocano]]. Other ethnic groups included Ikalahan (3.7%) and Tagalog (2.4%). |
|||
=== |
===Radio=== |
||
She has been a regular guest on many radio shows: ''[[It's Been a Bad Week]]'', ''The Fred MacCauley Show'', ''The Motion Show'', ''[[Parsons and Naylor's Pull-Out Section]]'', ''[[Quote... Unquote]]'', ''[[The Sunday Programme]]'' (LBC Radio), ''[[The Now Show]]'' and ''[[Twenty Twenty]]''. Jo recorded her own [[BBC Radio 4|Radio 4]] comedy series: ''It's That Jo Caulfield Again'', which was broadcast from September, 2005. A third series began broadcasting in June 2007. |
|||
Most of the tribes in Benguet have their own languages or dialects. The Ibaloi tribe speak Ibaloy, which is similar to [[Pangasinan language|Pangasinan]]. The [[Kankana-ey]] tribe speak have their own [[Kankanaey|language]], which is related to the [[Bontoc language]]. Many inhabitants also speak [[Ilokano language|Ilokano]], [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]], and [[English language|English]] for trade and commerce. Now a days, because of working abroad some can even speak Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. which shows that they are globally interacting. |
|||
The [[Ethnologue|SIL Ethnologue database]] [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=92519] classifies the tribal languages under the ''South-Central Cordilleran'' branch. Nabaloy (named in the database as ''Ibaloi'') is part of the ''Southern Cordilleran'' branch which also includes Pangasinense. The Kankana-ey language (named in the database as ''Kankanaey'') is under the ''Central Cordilleran'' branch, which also includes Bontoc and Ifugao. |
|||
==Economy== |
|||
[[Agriculture]], [[mining]], and [[tourism]] are the major industries in Benguet. Because of its temperate climate and high altitude, Benguet is an ideal place for producing vegetables. Benguet is often called the ''Salad Bowl of the Philippines''. During February 2007, Benguet suffered crop damage due to freezing temperatures in the area, reaching as low as 5 Celsius and even lower in some areas, and important crops like cabbages were damaged. Major crops include [[potato]]es, [[Baguio beans]], [[pea]]s, [[strawberry|strawberries]], [[cabbage]], [[lettuce]], and [[carrot]]s. Other agricultural-related activities are [[monggo]] processing, fruit preservation, [[peanut brittle]] manufacturing, broom making, basket weaving, and [[flower]] growing. |
|||
Mining is another major industry of Benguet, which is one of the country's leading [[gold]] producers. Other mineral deposits are [[silver]], [[copper]], [[pyrite]], and [[limestone]]. [[Silver]]smithing is a large industry in Benguet, and many entrepreneurs sell silver works at lower prices in [[Baguio City]], compared to [[Manila]]. In 2006 alone revenues from mining reached a stunning four billion pesos, and yet this figure comes from just two-Lepanto Consolidated Mining Corporation and Philex Mines- of the many mining firms operating in the province. Nevertheless, the province's mining vigor has never translated into better quality of life of the Benguet people, simply because a bulk of the mining firm's taxes are not paid directly to the province. The two mining corporations, like many others around the country, have principal offices in the City of Makati, a set-up that makes Makati the prime mining tax beneficiary. |
|||
The presence of Baguio City in Benguet draws a large number of tourists from the lowlands. Often, people who go to Baguio also explore the province, especially the strawberry and vegetable plantations in [[La Trinidad, Benguet|La Trinidad]]. (''See also the [[#Tourist Attractions|Tourist Attractions]] section below.'') |
|||
==Education== |
|||
*The [[Benguet State University]] is the only university of Benguet and is located in [[La Trinidad, Benguet]]. The university has 9 colleges (Including the Graduate School). The 9 Colleges are: |
|||
*The College of Agriculture |
|||
*The College of Arts and Sciences |
|||
*The College of Engineering and Applied Technology |
|||
*The College of Forestry |
|||
*The College of Home Economics and Technology |
|||
*The College of Nursing |
|||
*The College of Teacher Education |
|||
*The College of Veterinary Medicine |
|||
*The Graduate School |
|||
Since the Government considers the increasing population of students, the university extended and adapted some schools in far-flung areas like the Buguias Loo Agricultural School and Kapangan. Now, some of the courses offered from the mother university were being taken and learned by students of the said extension. |
|||
Benguet also contains the [[Cordillera Regional Science High School]]. |
|||
==Geography== |
|||
===Political=== |
|||
Benguet is subdivided into 13 [[Philippine municipality|municipalities]] and contains [[Baguio City]]. Baguio City used to be part of the province but became independent, when the city's charter was made. However, for statistical convenience, Baguio City is informally considered a part of Benguet, especially in census data or when Baguio City is chosen as a location for Benguet provincial offices, due to its proximity/location. |

|||
==Tourist Attractions== |
|||
While [[Baguio City]] is not officially part of Benguet, its location provides additional income in form of tourism for the province. Some of the interesting places are, [[Kennon Road]], [[Binga Hydroelectic Plant]], strawberry and flower farms in [[La Trinidad, Benguet|La Trinidad]], the [[Ambuklao Dam]] in Bokod, and the Palina and Naguey rice terraces in Atok. |
|||
Aside from these, Tuba and Tublay hotsprings are usually flock by local tourists from the neighboring provinces. Remote Buguias hotspring can also be reached now and the "Man-asok" river can be appreciated early in the morning because of the "smoking like" but in reality it's the vapors that rise up. |
|||
==History== |
|||
'''Early History.''' The mountainous area now covered by Benguet is home to several native tribes which are collectively known as the [[Igorot]]. Two of these, the [[Ibaloi]] and the [[Kankana-ey]], are dominant tribes of the area. Many of these tribes are believed by Filipino anthropologists to be of [[Malay people|Malay]] descent. Before the arrival of the [[Spain|Spanish]] colonizers these tribes had a flourishing trade with the lowlanders such as the [[Ilocos|Ilocanos]] and the [[Pangasinan|Pangasinenses]]. |
|||
'''Spanish Period.''' When the Spanish arrived, they attempted to colonize the highlands, having heard of the rich gold mines in the mountains. In 1572, [[Juan de Salcedo]] led a small expedition into southern Benguet, but the natives forced them to retreat. The first major expedition into the mountains occurred in 1620, when Spanish explorers went into the [[La Trinidad Valley]] and briefly controlled some Igorot gold mines, which were later abandoned after a few years. |
|||
In the 1800s, the Spanish colonizers made more serious attempts at conquering the highlands. The first expeditions were done under the leadership of Col. Guillermo Galvey and it succeeded in establishing presence in the La Trinidad Valley, which he named after his wife. |
|||
This area later became a district of the new province of [[La Union province|La Union]] in 1846. Eight years later, in 1854, Benguet became a separate ''comandancia politico-militar''. Parts of the present province were established as component territories of other ''comandancias'' such as Lepanto, and Amburayan. |
|||
'''American Period.''' When the [[United States|Americans]] took control of the Philippines, they established local civil governments in many parts of the country. In Benguet, the civil government was established on Nevember 23, 1900 by virtue of Act No. 49. H.P. Whitmarsh, a [[Canada|Canadian]] journalist, was appointed as the first governor of Benguet. |
|||
The Americans then established the [[Mountain Province]] on [[August 18]], [[1908]], with the enactment of Act No. 1876. Benguet, along with Amburayan, [[Apayao]], Bontoc, [[Ifugao]], [[Kalinga Province|Kalinga]], and Lepanto, became sub-provinces of this new province. Later on, [[Baguio City|Baguio]] became a chartered city in 1909. Then in 1920, Benguet absorbed the sub-provinces of Amburayan and Lepanto. |
|||
In the 1930s, mining companies were started to mine the gold deposits in the area. This brought it jobs and many lowlanders migrated to Benguet, especially in towns surrounding the mines, such as [[Itogon, Benguet|Itogon]]. |
|||
'''World War II.''' During [[World War II]], Igorot guerrillas and the Filipino and American forces fought battles with Japanese soldiers during the final days of the war in 1945. |
|||
'''Post-war Era.''' On [[June 18]], [[1966]], The huge Mountain Province was split into four provinces with the enactment of [[Republic Acts of the Philippines|Republic Act]] No. 4695. The four provinces were Benguet, Mountain Province, [[Kalinga-Apayao]] and Ifugao. Benguet became one of the provinces of the [[Ilocos Region]]. |
|||
On [[July 15]], [[1987]], the [[Cordillera Administrative Region]] was established and Benguet was made one of its provinces. |
