    Integrating indigenous people's rights and development -oriented goals and interests in DRRM-CCA program: a case study of the Aeta community in Brgy.Mabuyong , Anini-y , Antique
    Almendras, Denn Marie; Palomo, Megan; Tumaca, Jerald (2016-06)
    This study is about indigenous people's (IPs) rights and development-oriented goals. Specifically, it tackles on how their rights and goals are incorporated into Disaster Risk Reduction Management and Climate Change Adaptation (DRRM-CCA) plans and programs. The researchers chose the Aeta community of Barangay Mabuyong, Anini- y, Antique as research participants because it was able to fulfill the criteria of inclusion set by the researchers. They were also selected because they were affected by Typhoon Yolanda. The study used Mixed Methods to gather data. These consisted of keyinformant interviews, focused group discussions, secondary data analysis, surveys and transect walk. All these were deployed to gather data on the situation of the IPs in Mabuyong before and after Typhoon Yolanda in the following aspects: physico- environmental; econo-human; politico- institutional and;socio-cultural. The researchers also gathered information about the incorporation of IP interests, and the level of intervention of the LGUs in local DRR initiatives and development plans. Lastly, the researchers looked into the lessons learned after Typhoon Yolanda and surveyed the level of the community resilience, awareness, and response towards disaster.The findings revealed that: (a) the physico- environmental, econo-human, politico-institutional and socio-cultural contexts of the IP community are faced with a high level of vulnerability and risk exposure; (b) The incorporation of IP interests in the DRR and development programs revealed two contradicting views: The LGU's assessment was positive, and the incorporation of IP interests in policy and plans were present while the NGO and the IP community perceived such incorporation to be absent, insufficient and largely incompatible towards the IP needs; (c) Lastly, community awareness, resilience, and response of the IPs of Mabuyong were significantly low according to the survey. The study also found that the establishment of linkages among sectors and the active participation as well as reconciliation of the IPs in planning are necessary. The Typhoon Yolanda experience served as one proof that the IPs of Mabuyong needs more attention and assistance from the municipality.

    Ang babaye, banwa kag batiano: Women's concerns and issues on flooding and their involvement in the disaster risk reduction management plan of Oton, Iloilo
    Redison, Frances Anthea R. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    The study documents selected women’s concerns and issues on flooding on the three selected flood-prone barangays of Oton, Iloilo and their awareness of, and involvement in, the planning and implementation of the Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan. There were a total of sixty (60) women respondents who are officially registered voters of the three barangays drawn randomly from the local list of voters of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Master List of Voters. Key informant interviews were used to gather additional information about women’s insights and experiences of flooding, twenty (20) each barangay. Based on the study’s survey, the majority of the women tend not to participate in community affairs because family is still the priority and civic responsibility is seen as optional if not necessary thus reflects or contributes to their limited awareness of the DRRM Plan of Oton. The findings support the need for gender synthesizing before mainstreaming, and recommends the re-organization of women’s groups and promotion of a community-based DRRM which involves inter-barangay alliance - to give women an avenue to challenge and change their gendered status in society.

    Alon, Glaiza Ann C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)
    This research paper is a descriptive history of disasters and disaster management in the municipality of Culasi from 1940 to 2013. The municipality of Culasi is located in the Philippine archipelago which is prone to disasters. Over the years, the municipality had experienced various kinds of disastrous natural hazards and disasters, including tropical cyclones, flood, earthquakes, and landslides. Tropical storms and cyclones are the most frequent natural hazard, while flooding is a natural disaster which has caused the most and widest damage. Earthquakes are the most destructive to human lives and are usually exacerbated by landslides, although the latter is the least experienced natural hazard in the municipality. In order to lessen and/or avoid the destructive impacts of these disasters, the local government of the municipality has implemented disaster management in areas of prevention, and mitigation, preparedness, response, rehabilitation and recovery.
