DAVAO CITY, Philippines - The mushrooming of community pantries in the country mirrors the ''phenomenon of hunger and poverty'' that has intensified because of this global health crisis which devastates the nation's economy.

According to sociology Professor Arnold Alamon who teaches at Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology, this wave of community pantries has emerged because of the initiative of the middle-class people in different parts of the country who also feel the brunt of this economic crisis and "problematic health care of the government."

Alamon said these community efforts come with different forms and do not necessarily involve any political affiliations because these people who started this pantry have realized that their situation is no different from the other sectors of the society.

He said the sprout of community pantries has become an indicator of poor government action even in communities located in the economic middle. It also has exposed the reality of the ''phenomenon of hunger and poverty'' when people queue to avail themselves of free food.

"So, it turns out the even in the urban places and semi-urban center in the provinces, there are those who are in need. They keep their silence because they could not go out and yet they are affected in this worst economic decline,'' Alamon said.

The Philippine Sociological Society Emergent Agency Research Team conducted an initial study monitoring about 44 community pantries set up by individuals and organizations beginning April 17 to April 18 inspired first by Ana Patricia Non with instruction written ''Magbigay ayon sa kakayahan. Kumuha batay sa pangangailangan (Give according to your ability. Take according to your need.).'' on April 14, 2021 on a street corner along Maginhawa St., Teachers Village, Quezon City.

The establishment of community pantries can be a gauge for solidifying public opinion on the inadequacy of government response to the pandemic on two fronts: providing economic subsidy and aid for those greatly affected by the lockdown and the lack of an appropriate and comprehensive health response to the pandemic, according to the study.

"These community pantries resonate with the public's dire needs and brewing discontent in the context of a worsening economic and health care situation," the study concludes.
Inspired
Inspired by the Maginhawa community pantry, local coffee shop owner Mary Ann Medina put up a pantry in front of her shop along Roxas Avenue to encourage people about the idea of sharing and community effort. She spent from her own pocket to stock the pantry with rice, canned goods, vegetables and some root crops to serve people living in her neighborhood and some ''pedicab'' drivers plying their route in the area.

She placed tarpaulins to explain the community pantry concept and remind the people queuing to observe COVID-19 health protocol such as maintaining physical distance.

"Actually, I thought of this even when this is in Roxas because there are houses at the back of our coffee shop whose situation is pitiable, so, they are the ones who could avail first. In this time, there are those who are really in need. So, I tried to start this and the goal is influence others to begin their own community pantries, Medina told Davao Today.

As Medina posted on social media the pantry she set up, many residents have reached out to her and donated cash and in-kind while others volunteered as crew. Some organizations even donated animal foods for pet owners.

Medina also received messages from people informing her that they would install community pantries in their areas too. Before she started her pantry in Roxas, community pantries have started in Matina, Ecoland, Agdao and inside the Maa City Jail.
"I think no one has set it up here in Davao proper because no one has started it. So, if you don't initiate, no one will follow. So, I thought this needs push, awareness and exposure to show that we can do this and it is not only those in Luzon who can," she said.

Since lockdown last year, Medina donated to the House of Hope at Southern Philippine Medical Center (SMPC), in her chosen communities and for some indigenous people of Davao.

''Sure meal'' for uncertain ones
Since the pandemic, Mark and many pedicab drivers have been struggling to meet their daily needs. The temporary closure of two universities because of the prohibition of face-to-face classes and the suspension of the night market reduced their income as passengers have declined.

When the Roxas community pantry started, Mark availed some rice and vegetables for his family's meal and spared him P80 from his morning income.

"I haven't expected this kind of help would come to us in this time of our dire need because earning has become so difficult now. This (community pantry) helps us a lot to get by in our meal today, Mark told Davao Today on Monday morning while he was lining up at the pantry.

For Larisa who received some food packs from her barangay and a small amount of money for the cash for work program of the city government during lockdown, the community pantry at Roxas is another help for her family ensure the day's meal.

Since COVID-19, her family has been struggling a lot because her husband is just a part-time delivery driver and she has stopped selling barbeque for now.

"I didn't expect that the news we saw on TV about this (community pantry) would be in Davao, too. Since the lockdown, we (vendors) along Roxas do not have stable income. What the City Hall gave helped, but it was not enough," Larisa said.

Larisa said the community pantry is ''an act of unimaginable kindness'' of few people who have chosen to give even in simple means.

"Not everyone could think of helping others with this crisis now. We are so grateful with this, Ma'am, however simple this (community pantry) has offered, it has solved the uncertainty of our next meal. I have something to cook for my children now because I am not sure if my husband would come home with money to buy food. This is such a great help, Ma'am. I hope this will last a bit longer,"she said.
'Bayanihan'
Davao artist and community kitchen volunteer Angely Chi said helping each other is not new because it is natural for Filipinos to show kindness and compassion to people in need.

Chi considered the community pantry as a ''collective effort'' in the community that sees the need to act in the absence of adequate support from the government during lockdown in this time of pandemic and even in times of calamities.

"For what I can see, this is a reaction to the lack of support for food in the community and these collective efforts are multiplying because the essential need of the people which is food is lacking," she said.

Chi and her organization, Art Relief Mobile Kitchen, have been serving hot meals to barangays affected in the recent flooding and fire in the city. She is also part of the group who set up the Matina community pantry.

Decades of armed conflict have hampered development in Mindanao, where most of the Philippines' poorest regions are located

MANILA, Philippines - between government forces and members of the Maute Group forced thousands of families to flee Marawi City in Lanao del Sur.

They left their homes and livelihood with only a few belongings - some, just the clothes on their backs - to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

This is the latest crisis in Mindanao, a region that has been scarred by decades of armed conflict. Years and years of battles have left affected communities in dire conditions - struggling to rebuild destroyed homes and reeling from the loss of lives.

President Rodrigo Duterte on May 23 placed the entire Mindanao under martial law for 60 days in order to battle terrorism. (READ: Questions you need to ask about martial law in Mindanao)

Military rule, however, will not address the root of the issue, according to counterinsurgency expert Justin Richmond. He said the government must focus on improving the standard of living in underdeveloped areas in Mindanao to prevent radicalization. (READ: Why PH needs a non-military solution to the ISIS problem)

What are these areas in Mindanao and how has conflict been linked to worsening poverty?

Mindanao regions consistently poorest in PH

Four out of the top 5 poorest regions in the Philippines are in Mindanao, according to data from the 2015 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula), Region X (Northern Mindanao), Region XII (Soccsksargen), Region XIII (Caraga), and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) registered poverty incidence above 39% in 2015.

Meanwhile, Region XI (Davao Region) had a poverty incidence of 26.7%.

The poverty figures in these regions in 2015 are above the national average of 26.3%.

ARMM, where Lanao del Sur is located, is the poorest region with at least 59% of its 3,781,387 population living below the poverty threshold.

Lanao del Sur's poverty worsened in the past decade

The widespread poverty is also evident in the fact that 8 out of the 10 poorest provinces in the country in 2015 were in Mindanao. From 2006 to 2015, a Mindanao province had the highest poverty incidence rate.

While considered poorest in 2006 and 2009, Zamboanga del Norte managed to improve. It dropped to 5th place in 2012 and then to 8th spot in 2015.

This is not the case with Lanao del Sur where Marawi City - the center of the clashes between government forces and the Maute Group - is located.

The poverty rate in the province, which has a population of 1.05 million, drastically rose in the past decade.

From just 44% in 2006, 74.3% of residents in Lanao del Sur lived below the poverty threshold in 2015, making it the poorest among all provinces in the Philippines, according to data from the FIES.

Effects of Estrada's all-out war in 2000

Former president and now Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada on May 25 urged Duterte to declare an against terrorists in Mindanao, adding that peace talks do not work.

He, however, failed to mention the effects of an all-out war, considering that Estrada declared one against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in 2000.

During that time, poverty in Mindanao became worse. According to data from the PSA, 20 out of the 40 poorest provinces were in Mindanao, including all the provinces in the ARMM where the conflict then was concentrated.

Poverty incidence was at 57% in the ARMM, an increase of 7% from 1997's 50%.

Meanwhile, data from the World Food Programme (WFP) show that over 40% of families in Central Mindanao were displaced at least once between 2000 and 2010.

Jobs or sources of livelihood are also scarce in conflict-hit areas. More often than not, clashes destroy farms and fisheries which many families depend on.

With the lack of resources to rebuild, families affected by conflict may fall deeper into poverty.

AUTHOR: The World Bank

DATE PUBLISHED: April 6, 2018

KEY INFO: Mindanao accounts for a third of the Philippines' poor, but only a quarter of its population. Unlocking Mindanao's potential is critical in bringing down poverty in the entire country, says World Bank report.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
DAVAO CITY, April 6, 2018 - With Mindanao accounting a third of the Philippines' poor - but only a quarter of its population, unlocking Mindanao's potential is critical in bringing down poverty in the entire country, says a new report launched today by the World Bank, the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), and the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP).

The main challenge for Mindanao, like the rest of the Philippines, is how to speed up growth that creates more and better jobs and reduces poverty, explains the report, entitled Mindanao Jobs Report: A Strategy of Mindanao Regional Development.

"The strategies identified in the report could not be more timely and relevant to the priorities that we in Mindanao Development Authority have set out to pursue under the Duterte administration," said Secretary Abul Khayer Alonto, Chairperson of MinDA. "Under our long-term development plan as approved and included in the Philippine Development Plan for 2017-2022, we are pursuing socio-economic development initiatives through the Mindanao Development Corridors."

Following extensive consultations with many of Mindanao's leaders and stakeholders, the report came up with recommendations around three areas, namely:

Raising the productivity of Mindanao's farm and fisheries sector and improving its connectivity and access to local and global markets;

Investing in health, education, skills training, and social protection for the poor; and

Addressing the drivers of conflict and strengthening institutions in conflict-affected areas.

Mindanao's growth corridor strategy is the key, said Secretary Alonto, as it is designed to improve infrastructure, enhance linkages between growing and lagging regions, and ensure balanced growth. Such a strategy would lead to greater connectivity that can reduce transportation costs and improve the competitiveness of small farmers and other producers.

The corridor strategy divides Mindanao into four development corridors: the Northern Mindanao Development Corridor, Southern Mindanao Development Corridor, Western Mindanao Development Corridor, and the Bangsamoro Development Corridor.

Thirty-five projects that facilitate movement of people, goods and services - consisting of ports and airports improvements, inter-regional and intermodal roads, bridges, and roll-on/roll-off shipping facilities - are given priority for national government funding. A total of 21 of these priority projects already have funding, amounting to Php17 billion.

"Unlocking Mindanao's potential could help sustain the country's growth momentum, create more income opportunities for the poor, and help strengthen the prospects for peace," said Miguel Dominguez, Chairperson of Philippine Business for Social Progress Regional Executive Committee. "To help achieve this goal, PBSP promotes inclusive business practices to ensure that communities are active stakeholders and partners in the value chain - as producers, business partners, employees, or consumers. We continue to partner with various levels of government and advocate corporate social responsibility consistent with the values of people empowerment, collective action, and peace anchored on just and equitable development."

Currently accounting for 15 percent of the country's GDP and 40 percent of agricultural production, Mindanao can contribute much more to the Philippine economy. But conflict in some areas constrains Mindanao's aspirations to accelerate inclusive growth, says Mara K. Warwick, Country Director for the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Brunei. Hence, addressing the issues that fuel conflict - such as land ownership disputes, historical injustices, and weak governance - is important, as are accelerated efforts to improve land titling and registration and promoting equitable access to land, especially among small farmers, she said.

"While the government addresses these issues through the peace process and other initiatives, improving delivery of social services and reforming policies to support job creation and economic opportunity for all can help ensure the success of peace-building efforts," said Warwick.
