Dali, Mangaon Ta?

Samtang pwerteng hinanok nako, adunay social media post nga wala katulgi sa atong mga kaigsoonan. Nisugat sa akong sayo’ng pagmata ang balita nga adunay grupo sa mga lalaki sa Lapu-Lapu City (Opon) nagbuhat og bidyo nga nag-portray sa lain-lain nga sekswal practices sa mga lalaki nga nakighilawas sa atong mga kaigsoonan sa LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community. Nahimo kining isyu tungod kay una, nag hisgot kini og sex ug ikaduha, og mao’y mas lawom nga rason, naghisgot kini og sex tali sa pareho og sekso. (Nota: Wala ko ka kita sa vidéo, apan nakakita ko sa public apology sa mga hingtungdan; kini aga reaksyun subay sa lakbit-saysay)

Sex isip hilas nga topic

Nahimo kini mga kontrobirsyal tungod kay ang sex hilas pa man kini nga topic ug kiwaw hisgutan sa kadaghanan; sa kasyudaran man o sa kabukiran. Bisan gani sa paggamit nakog termino nga “kayat” o "pakighilawas", lud-on tingali ang magbasa.

Isip bidli o hilas paminawon, kinahanglan gamiton ang tukma nga termino; ang Cebuano sa sex kay kayat o pakighilawas. Nganong nahimo man kini nga hilas kung hisgutan na? Adunay dako’ng kontribusyon niini ang Simbahan’ng Katoliko. Gi-isip ang paghisgot sa kayat o pakighilawas isip law-ay nga binuhatan kung hisgutan sa mga dili pa minyo o kun hisgutan sa publiko o sa kinatibuk-an law-ay kini nga hisgutanan.

Ang paghikaw sa paghisgot kabahin sa kayat o pakighilawas sa mga istorya (pormal man o inpormal) moresulta kini sa dugang pagka-kuryoso sa mga tawo og hisgutan sa hilum na hinuon. Ang paghisgot unya sa hilum, makapakuyanap sa sayop mga mga pagtuo kabahin niini og dili na matul-id ang maong mga pagtuo.

Apil napud niini ang sistema sa eduksyon. Walay sex education nga tukma sa edad ang atong edukasyon. Isip importante nga topic sa kinabuhi nga angay lakbitan, nahimong ignorante ang mga tawo kabahin niini. Dili na hinuon mahisgutan og makat-onan. Resulta ika-uwaw nga topic, hilasan ang mga tawo maghisgot, ug kadtong mga nahi-agum sa sayong pakighilawas kanunay nga i-bully. Mga paet nga consequences sa pagka-ignorante sa maong hisgutanan.

Apil usab ang traditional mass media (radio, telebisyun, newspaper) ug social media nga maoy tigpakuyanap sa maong sayop nga mga pagtuo o konserbstibo nga mga panglantaw. Ang topic sa pakighilawas gihimong kataw-anan. Ang resulta, kung unsay mabasahan, madunggan, makit-an mao na hinuon ang mamahimong tamdan sa katawhan, labi na sa mga kuryuso nga mga kabatan-onan.

Sex sa magkapareho og sekso

Kay hilas man ang paghisgot niini, ang pakighilawas sa managpareho og sekso (lalaki sa lalaki ; babae sa babae ; lalaki ug bayot ; babae ug tomboy) mas mosamot ang ubos nga pagtan-aw sa sex isip kabahin sa kinabuhi. Puro diskriminsyon, kauwaw ug mga immoral nag pulong ang madunggan.

Busa, dili ika-tinga nga sa dihang ang bidyo nigawas kabahin sa mga lalaki nga nag-portray og pakighilawas sa isig ka lalaki o sa mga LGBTQ community, daghan ang dili-komportable niini; daghan ang gihilasan, gibidli-an sa usa ka realidad nga kabahin na sa atong pakigharong sa kinabuhi.

Ang atong mga kaigsu-unan nga adunay lahi og kinaiyanhong matang (sexual orientation) ug hiyas sa pagkatawo (gender identity) adunay katungod sa pagreklamo niini, lain-lain man og pagdawat ang mga tawo sa mao nga bidyo, angay pud kini i-respeto. Dako pud akong kalipay sa pagkamapahi-ubsanon sa mga hingtungdan pinaagi sa public apology nga ilang gipagawas.

Mamahimo unta kini nga leksyon kanato'ng tanan aga adunay panginahanglan nga magtuki kabahin sa sexual and reproductive health and rights ug i-respeto ang atong katungod nya hisgutan kini.

Paghinumdum

Gusto ko maglupad-lupad

Pero wala pako’y pako

Niadtong gabhiuna, pwerte nakong pagkagamhana

Naabot kos imong dughan 

bisan wa nako planoha

Ngano mani ang atong mga damgo, 

isog man kaayo?

Ang langgam gani, mangita gyud og kahoy nga katugpahan; dahon nga kapasilungan

Apan matulimbang kung dili ka kapangandam

Tungod ba kaha nga dili siya usahay kaharong sa hangin’ng amihan?

Dili diay pwede nga mag-uyon uyon na lang kung unsay ihung-hung sa hanging amihan?

Nga bag-ohay lang nimo gipahuwayan

Duha Ka Tuig Nga Sumada

Ganahan ko sa lugar diin asa ko karon

Tinuig ang paghikawa; tinuig pud ang paghandom

Pwede hinumduman ang mga miagi

Samtang nagpaabot nga ang pultahan nga pirmi 

Ko ablihan, ana-a siya nag-atang ug ga-dungaw

Nganong kinahanglan pa man gayud hinumduman

Niadtong panahona, adunay higayon wala malabay ang basura

Apan dili ika-tinga, daghan ang mga higayun

Kanunay mangatagak ang mga buwak sa kalachuchi

Nga wala damha

Panahon sa kagabhiun nga mapahiyumon 

Mokalit lang ka og hinuktok

Samtang ang ballpen nga iyang gikuptan

Ug ang papel nga imong gihawiran

Nagpaabot nga atong mamarkahan

Ganahan ko sa lugar diin asa ko karon

Kung sayo ang imong pagbangon

Kantahan ka sa mga langgam nga panagsa ra manugpa

Kay niadtong panahona

Igo na ang pipila ka oras sa pagpiyong 

Bisan mao pa ang imong pagtugpa

PH dialogue pushes for gender-responsive disaster risk reduction and management

“Strengthening Gender-Responsive Sendai Framework Implementation: Addressing the GIR and Promoting Community Resilience in the Philippines” 

To ensure that the GIR meets the specific needs of Philippines, the partners, in close collaboration with the OCD, facilitated a consultation dialogue “Strengthening Gender-Responsive Sendai Framework Implementation: Addressing the GIR and Promoting Community Resilience in the Philippines” between 20th and 21st June 2017. The meeting was held to identify common challenges that Philippines is facing with regard to addressing gender inequality through DRRM but also to identify key priorities and good practices that should be addressed and promoted through the proposed GIR Programme, The event was also supported by the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) and attended by gender focal points from various national government agencies, civil society organizations and non-government organizations from different parts of the country.

Round Table Discussion: The Gender Dimensions of Risk: Experiences in the Philippines

Forgotten no more: LGBT-specific disaster response in the aftermath of Haiyan

 

Forgotten no more By Roxanne Omega Doron After the onslaught of any disaster (natural or man-made), various responders are quick to provide sector specific interventions. In Samar, for instance, after supertyphoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) damaged the area, donors started an egg-laying livelihood program for women survivors. In Tacloban, projects were started to help women grow home vegetable gardens so their families would have a source of fresh vegetables. And in almost all areas affected by Yolanda, psychosocial experts started supporting the mental rehabilitation of women and children. But for a while, one glaring absence was notable among the responses – and that is the inclusion of the marginalized LGBT community. This is, for me unfortunate, particularly because it emphasized the double marginalization experienced by the LGBT community after the onslaught of disasters. For example, the risk of sexual violence may increase during social instability. We’ve come across anecdotes of refugee tents used to molest young boys. Sexual and reproductive health needs, which continue and increase during crisis, also remain unanswered. And since personal grooming and hygiene is not a priority of disaster survivors, the livelihood of many LGBT people are affected (e.g. parloristas), which is unfortunate considering that most of these LGBT people are the breadwinners of their families. I believe that a truly inclusive society responds to disaster inclusively. Already, last February 2014, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) funded a pioneering LGBT-specific disaster response in the Visayas – “The Haiyan Aftermath: Listening to and Understanding the Unheard LGBT Voices in Haiyan (Yolanda) Affected Communities in the Visayas.” This was historic because it was the first of its kind in the Philippines. But more importantly, it significantly contributed to understanding the unheard voices of LGBT communities affected by Yolanda and contributed to the realization of gender identity and expression specific interventions tailored within the context of disaster risk reduction and management. With 120 participants from various regions in the Visayas (90% of them gay or trans, the rest are lesbians), the effort generated three great effects: 1) LGBT-specific views on the impact of typhoon Haiyan; 2) positioning of the LGBT communities and leaders in the Visayas on climate change adaption (CCA) and disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM); and 3) creation of local LGBT advocates. UUSC eventually funded “Build Resilient LGBT Communities: Organizing, Strengthening and Networking” in three regions in the Visayas, with the intention of bringing together more than 100 members of the LGBT community in the Yolanda-affected areas to enhance their understanding on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression; human rights; and the importance of organizing, networking and advocacy. Building resilience, in this case, means providing opportunity for various LGBT organizations helm locally-led activities that will not only enhance their organizational capacity and human rights advocacy and commitment, but also help them become sustainable. Already, at least three livelihood development plans are being initiated by LGBT groups; even as the LGBT communities in the Visayas also organized themselves into one network (aptly called “Hugyaw Ka!”, an expression common to LGBT communities in the Visayas, which loosely means “Rejoice! Wonderful! Excellent!”). All efforts to help disaster-affected communities should be recognized. But these efforts also need to be made more inclusive to ensure that everyone affected – LGBT people included – are served. Because in the case of the LGBT community, we can help ourselves if we are, to start, given the tools to do so, including in increasing understanding of commitment and solidary on LGBT issues, documenting of our experiences as affected by the likes of supertyphoon Yolanda, and establishing of LGBT groups and networks. We ought not to be forgotten anymore.

TERMINAL REPORT 1:

Part I.Interview five (5) vendors selling typical products outside our university. Formulate 10 questions that relates to supply and production and costs

Part II.Interview three (3) consumers each from the five (5) vendors you interviewed. Formulate 10 questions that relates to demand, maximizing utility and consumer behavior.

Part III.Provide an economic naturalist essay, at least 500 words. Check guidelines below:

ECONOMIC NATURALIST ESSAY GUIDELINES*

An important part of your experience in this course will be two short writing assignments designed to foster your skills as an economic naturalist. In each of these papers, your assignment is to use a principle, or principles, a concept, or concepts, discussed in the course to explain some pattern of events or behavior that you personally have observed around you. Some examples are discussed below and some others might be discussed in class.

Your space limit is 500 words. Many excellent papers are significantly shorter. Please do not lard your essay with complex terminology. Imagine yourself talking to a relative who has never had a course in economics. The best papers are ones that would be clearly intelligible to such a person, and typically these papers do not use any algebra or graphs.

This assignment is not a PhD dissertation. You are not expected to do voluminous research in support of your argument, although a relevant fact or two might help convince yourself and others that you are on the right track. It makes no difference whether your topic is “important,” but try, as best you can, to choose something interesting. A really successful paper is one that begins with a really interesting question (one that makes the listener instantly curious to learn the answer) and then uses an economic principle or principles to construct a plausible answer. You’ll know you have a good paper if the first thing your roommate wants to do upon reading it is to tell friends about it.

TERMINAL REPORT 2: 

Part I.

Look for five (5) articles about the current state of Philippine agricultural sector or anything related to Philippine agriculture (use APA Citation Guide) and answer in 500 words:

"The State of Philippine Agriculture"

Part II. Visit at least two (2) public market and identify the location ( one in Cebu City and one in Cebu province ), estimated size of the market, consumers income bracket, day and time of interview. Interview two (2) vendors per public market and find out whether they are selling imported or locally produced agricultural products. Make a list of these products, the countries where they are imported from,  as well as their prices. Do the same for the local products and identify the origin of locally produced agricultural products.

Interview three (3) consumers: 1 male preferably husband, 1 female preferably wife, and 1 young adolescent preferably 18 to 24 years old . Ask them what agricultural products they usually buy. Do they know if these products are locally produced or imported? Which do they prefer? Why?

How does this affect the local producers? What can you say about the state of the country's agricultural sector? What do you think will happen to our agricultural productivity once the Asean Economic Community (AEC) will start implementing zero tariff to agricultural products within the Asean region?

Write a narrative report of your trip.
