DAVAO Region's coffee industry has a huge potential not only to meet the demand in the country but as well as the international market.

This is what the Davao International Coffee Trading Company (DICTCo) envisions for the region's growing coffee industry.

On Saturday, February 4, DICTCo teamed up with Dubria Farms in a historic memorandum of agreement signing (MOA) at the Haven's Dew Resort in Bansalan, Davao del Sur.

The partnership witnessed a bright new future in coffee production and trade as it marks the start of this cooperative venture that seeks to promote the richness, quality, and potential of Mt. Apo's coffee to global markets and the Filipino economy.

DICTCo CEO Bernard Gusman said it envisions the enterprise bolstering the regional economy and placing Davao City and the adjacent provinces in a more competitive standing with their international peers.

"We aim to support the local economy by providing fulfilling jobs to farmers and to share the Philippines' highest quality coffee with the rest of the world," Gusman said in his speech.

Marivic Dubria, owner of the multi-awarded Dubria Farm, for her part, is excited about the partnership as they will be the tutors who will oversee the details of the farmers' beneficial stewardship of the land and the proper selection and cultivation of the best possible beans available.

"Challenging siya. Kabalo ko na you have to lead the rest of the farmers, tapos imo i-oversee ang operations. Pero kayanon nato ni," Dubria said.

She said the partnership is a "dream come true" as this would be a great opportunity for their coffee to be marketed on the international scene.

With the partnership, she said they would be able to adapt new methods in cultivating and processing coffee that would meet not only the demands of the market but also its quality standard.

Both parties expressed optimism as the partnership between the coffee traders, the farmers, and the people of Davao City seeks to bring the coffee industry and its Filipino counterparts to the global coffee stage. RGL

RELEVANCE TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC:  It discusses how local organizations and governments can play a role in advancing women's rights. It emphasizes some of the challenges that need to be overcome in order to make progress on this issue. Also, it highlights the importance of factors such as an empowered civil society, a center-periphery divide that generates distrust between local and national level actors, and a strengthened capacity of local government.

Advancing Women's Rights in Davao City, Philippines: The Role of Local Civil Society

Citation: Coolidge, Kelsey. Advancing Women's Rights in Davao City, Philippines: The Role of Local Civil Society. One Earth Future, 2017.

Executive Summary

Civil society actors play an influential role in supporting human rights. While the literature on this topic tends to focus on human rights activity at the national level, civil society organizations (CSOs) also operate at the local level to advance human rights. The advancement of women's rights is a particularly good example of this. In Davao City, Philippines, local women's organizations campaigned for the passage of the Davao City Women and Development Code, a progressive piece of legislation that implemented the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Remarkably, this piece of legislation passed 13 years before a similar piece of legislation passed at the national-level. Based on this case, this paper suggests that local activity on human rights takes place under a set of social and political factors: an empowered civil society, a center-periphery divide that generates distrust between local and national level actors, and a strengthened capacity of local government in Davao City.

AUTHOR: WION

DATE: October 31, 2019

KEY CONTENT: A magnitude 6.5 earthquake rocked Davao City in the Philippines, causing previously damaged buildings and homes to collapse. The quake comes just days after a series of strong tremors hit the city, leaving many residents scared and worried. This tragic event highlights the need for improved disaster preparedness and resilience-building measures in Davao City and, indeed, across the Philippines.

RELEVANCE TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC: One way to build resilience is through acts of giving.

One thing is certain, though—the "bayanihan spirit" is alive and intrinsic in us Filipinos, despite these challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic's emergence of appeals for volunteer-driven relief activities proves that the Filipino bayanihan flourishes under trying circumstances.

RELEVANCE TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC: This article gives moral values to all readers that no matter what happens, we need to strengthen the love and care for those in need. The "bayanihan spirit" is about helping others in need, and this is something that is needed in order to build resilience and overcome a deficiency in Davao City.

Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency - Build Hope, Change Lives: Volunteer!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) has been the government's largest effort to flatten the curve of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in the Philippines. As the number of cases continues to spike, uncertainties loom. Work, classes, and even transportation are suspended. There are long lines in the grocery stores. Some basic commodities are becoming scarce. From alcohol, masks, and personal protective equipment (PPEs) that are meant to be protecting the frontliners have been unavailable in the market.

Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing difficulties, rendering the underprivileged in the country more vulnerable.

But, despite these difficulties, one thing is certain; the "bayanihan spirit" is alive and innate in us Filipinos. The advent of calls for volunteer-driven relief efforts in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic is evidence that the Filipino bayanihan thrives in times of crisis.

Amidst these trying times, the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) together with all the government agencies, local government units (LGUs) and the private sector remain committed in advocating and promoting volunteerism to help alleviate the serious health, economic, safety, and security threats of the on-going pandemic.

PNVSCA echoes the continuous call for volunteers for the COVID-19 response efforts. The Agency has established an online mechanism to match and link available volunteers with organizations conducting COVID-19 related initiatives. Volunteers who signed up were referred to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation, Philippine Red Cross, Wear Forward, FeedPH, and to the Department of Health. PNVSCA also helps in disseminating the call for volunteers and donations of other government agencies as well as non-government partners.

Awardees of the PNVSCA's Search for Outstanding Volunteers have also launched their own volunteering initiatives in their respective areas. In Davao City, for example, Engr. Cristy Gallano, 2019 SOV national awardee distributes food packs in the community in Catalunan Grande where she has been serving as a long-time volunteer.

PNVSCA is one with the Filipino community in the fight against COVID-19. It continues to laud the modern-day heroes, our health workers, frontliners, and volunteers. As individuals and organizations heed on another to address the needs of our fellowmen, we encourage everyone to volunteer even in simple ways. Initiatives, no matter how big or small, can create a ripple effect to people for the good and well-being of our community.

TITLE: LTFRB-10: Bus Seats for Breastfeeding Moms in NorMin, a First in PH

AUTHOR: Jigger J. Jerusalem

DATE: August 7, 2022

KEY CONTENT: According to the local Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB-10), the allocation of seats for nursing mothers in public buses in Northern Mindanao is a first for the nation and may serve as a model for other areas. The RA 10028 is a national law that encourages, protects, and supports the practice of breastfeeding.

RELEVANCE TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC: Providing reserved seats for breastfeeding mothers encourages healthy growth for babies and convenience for the mothers because breast milk is the cheapest and most nutritious milk. The decision to designate seats for breastfeeding mothers is an act of giving that will make Davao City more livable for all. This act of giving is something that all regions should strive for, and the LTFRB-10's decision is a step in the right direction.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines - The designation of seats for breastfeeding mothers in public buses in Northern Mindanao is a first in the country and could be made as a benchmark for other regions, the regional Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB-10) has said.

"This is a very good practice that should be emulated by other LTFRB regional offices. What we have introduced here in Region 10 can be made as a benchmark," said Aminoden Guro, LTFRB-10 Regional Director Friday, August 6.

Reserving seats for lactating mothers will protect and give them dignity inside public buses, he said, adding it "will give convenience to mothers who will breastfeed their children inside the bus."

The idea to provide seats for breastfeeding mothers through a policy came from the Regional Development Council (RDC-10), which issued Resolution 91 in 2020. The said resolution aimed to support the Department of Health (DOH-10) regional office's proposal to include public buses in the implementation of Republic Act 10028 or the Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009.

RA 10028 is a national law that encourages, protects, and supports the practice of breastfeeding.

The RDC-10 said one of the mandates of RA 10028 is the establishment of lactation stations that are accessible to breastfeeding women as may be appropriate, whether it be in health facilities or non-health establishments, including public places and public utility vehicles.

The council added that as early as 2015, the Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Task Force issued its resolution requesting all bus liners traveling intra-region to allocate an exclusive seat for breastfeeding mothers.

Guro said the DOH-10 then asked the LTFRB-10 sometime in 2019 to implement the proposal, but the COVID-19 pandemic put it on hold in 2020. On July 23, 2022, the LTFRB-10 issued a provisional order directing operators of public utility buses to reserve seats, indicated by a sticker or sign, for lactating mothers.

Should bus operators refuse to provide seats for lactating mothers, Guro said a penalty of P5,000 will be implemented for the first offense, P10,000 for the second offense, and P15,000 for the third offense. There is also a possibility of cancelation or revocation of franchise if there is a complaint on non-compliance with the said initiative.

"We can expect this to be adopted nationwide, I will have it on the agenda in our next regional management conference so all regional offices can make it as a template and hope to be implemented soon," Guro said.

At the launching of the policy in Cagayan de Oro on August 1, the bus operators who pledged their commitment included Pabama, Bachelor Express, Bagong Lipunan, Rural Transit, Super Five, and Donsals Transport.

Meanwhile, Dr. David Mendoza, DOH-10's local health support division chief, said the policy is one of the best achievements of the IYCF Task Force in the region.

"We know for a fact that breastfeeding is very important to a child because the mother's milk is the cheapest, but it also has the best nutrients," he said, adding one of the solutions that can solve the problem of malnutrition is breastfeeding.

He said the DOH has repeatedly emphasized how the first 1,000 days are crucial to a child. With breastfeeding, he added, the child's maturity and nutrition indices go up, as well as sharpen the child's intelligence. (davaotoday.com)

TITLE: Davao Coffee Shop Helps Lift Farmers out of Poverty

AUTHOR: Kristine Sabillo

DATE: October 24, 2022

KEY CONTENT: Marivic and Joe Randy Dubria live in a small village in Bansalan, Davao del Sur. They noted the difficulty in making a living through vegetable farming, as the income was little, and Marivic's take-home pay as a daycare teacher was only P1,500 a month. To show the potential of coffee farming, Joji would buy the coffee cherries from farmers and bring them to Davao City to see the processing. Through this, Marivic and other farmers learned about the importance of proper care for their coffee plants, how to sort coffee cherries, and how to process them to yield world-class coffee beans.

RELEVANCE TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC: The article discusses how Joji Dubria, a coffee shop owner, helps farmers by providing training on how to care for and process coffee plants properly. This act of giving helps build resilience in the farmer community and helps to overcome any deficiencies they may have. Also, it is one example of how, with the proper guidance and training, coffee farming can provide a sustainable livelihood for farmers in Davao City. Despite the many challenges that they face, the Dubrias have persevered and are now reaping the rewards of their hard work.

AUTHOR: Antonio L. Colina IV

DATE: October 7, 2021

KEY CONTENT: The content discusses the recent delivery of 1,071,720 doses of Comirnaty anti-COVID-19 vaccines from the US-based Pfizer-BioNTech to the Davao Region. This is seen as a milestone in the fight against COVID-19, as vaccination is seen as an important tool in winning the pandemic.

RELEVANCE TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC: When looking at the research topic of "Making Davao City as a Livable City for All: Building Resilience and Overcoming Deficiency through Acts of Giving", it is clear that the vaccine delivery is relevant. This is because one of the goals of making Davao City a livable city is to build resilience and overcome deficiencies. The delivery of these vaccines helps to bridge the gap between demand and supply, which is a key component of resilience. Additionally, the vaccines will help to reduce the number of people who are infected with COVID-19, which will help to overcome the current deficiency of hospital beds and other resources.

The rise of various mental health concerns prompted President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to sign Republic Act 11036 or also known as the Mental Health Act on June 20, 2019. Its primary purpose is to provide affordable and accessible mental health services to every Filipino. The law also covers the promotion of mental health and policies in the workplace.

Following the same, the City Government of Davao through the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) has been conducting Mental Health Awareness (MHA) webinars to both Plantilla and Job Order/Contract of Service employees to address the ever daunting issues of mental health in the workplace.

Since the start of the program in June 2020, the HRMO has managed to conduct five MHA webinars to more than 250 employees from various offices in the city. Positive feedback regarding its timely execution resonated to more employees and offices inquiring about the program. The HRMO plans to continuously conduct MHA webinars in order to cater more employees in need of knowledge and voice to combat mental health concerns in the workplace.
