This study shows that women may feel highly politically efficacious towards the system; but this may not necessarily translate to high political participation or to a greater tendency to participate in politics. Women in Guimbal may have been affected by their political socialization or by the political events prior to the conduct of the study. Although they really have a high sense of political efficacy, the institution and the local norms limited their capacity to participate effectively in politics. Women have been taught to stay m their homes, to be good housewives, thus , limiting their role to the reproductive sphere. Political matters are not priorities for her, although these could directly or indirectly affect their lives, security, and well-being.Item The politics of community resilience-building in Laguinbanwa, Ibajay, AklanAndres, Darine Jane R.; Venus, Ervin Ralph S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)Community resilience is the ability of the community system and its component parts to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring the preservation, restoration, or improvement of its essential basic structures and functions (IPCC, 2012). This research focuses on the politics of community resilience-building in Laguinbanwa, Ibajay, Aklan. A review of secondary data, thematic analysis of interviews, and quantitative survey were done to assess the physico-environmental, economic-human, socio-cultural, and politico-institutional contexts in the barangay before and after Typhoon Yolanda. Public policy changes and lessons learned following the effects and damages brought by the typhoon were identified and analyzed. Analysis of the coordination among stakeholders, including the local community, barangay council, LGUs, NGOs, and national agencies, were done to unfold the politics of resilience building. The results revealed that there are significant changes in DRR-CCA policies of the state actors and increased local knowledge on disasters by non-state actors. There are also conflicting frames and perceptions of disasters among the stakeholders, affecting their actions on DRR-CCA policies and programs. The observed attempts at coordination and organizational linkages among stakeholders facilitate the overall development of the barangay, creating a more resilient community.
