TITLE: Disaster in Calamity Preparedness

AUTHOR: The New Builder

DATE PUBLISHED: November 27, 2020

KEY CONTENT:

The main message reflected in the editorial cartoon is the suffering endured by Filipinos during natural disasters, questioning why such suffering persists despite potential solutions made by the government. It emphasized that despite the Philippines already suffering the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, recent occurrences of typhoons such as typhoon Ulysses that drowned the province of Cagayan burden the livelihood of Filipinos even more. However, even with relief operations and donation drives, many people believe that it is not enough to reduce the impact created on Filipinos after such severe effects of climate change. The visual editorial cartoon emphasizes a solid connection to the research issue since this is considered a call for awareness of the inattention to lack of disaster preparedness & resiliency, and information, and addresses the issue of government neglect to combat natural disasters that do not reduce the impacts of climate change.

And yet, this quote is as real as it gets. Why are Filipinos suffering when there can be a way to not suffer at all?   As if the pandemic is not enough burden on top of the third-world life, typhoons recently ravaged several areas in the country. Super Typhoon Rolly hit the Bicol region and Typhoon Ulysses drowned Cagayan. Amidst the relief operations and donation drives, the cry for better disaster preparedness and the disdain for the resilient mindset are called into question.   The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported a total of 25 deaths caused by Rolly and over 73 casualties caused by Ulysses – which alone affected approximately 3,452,360 individuals or about 827,260 families.  These accounts of damage could have been lessened or even prevented if there were adequate plans for evacuation, sustainable household environments, and effective flood management systems. These bare minimum strategies to help mitigate disaster risks require sufficient funds to operate and be executed. Even so, reports show a PHP 4 billion cut on the NDRRMC calamity fund for 2020 which went from PHP 20 billion in 2019 to the current PHP 16 billion. In fact, the council’s budget was even cut to more than half from PHP 38.9 billion in 2016 to PHP 15 billion in 2017. This obvious neglect in prioritizing the safety of the people is a mockery to all Filipino taxpayers.   Meanwhile, the agricultural sector had more than its fair share of tragedy brought by the recent calamities. One can even claim it as the most affected field, as the Department of Agriculture (DA) reported damages worth PHP 12.8 billion in the sector. The rice industry alone suffered 120,000 metric tons of production loss, which is exactly 2,617.39% higher than the 4,416 metric tons of production volume in the first quarter of 2019. While the DA already allocated PHP 6.5 billion to help affected farmers, this did not silence the cry of the producers for better crop insurance policies, immediate calamity warnings and relief, and even the basic right to own their lands. Such issues were already raised even before the recent typhoons destroyed the fruit of their hard work–and yet were still overlooked.  Some people use toxic positivity to defend these instances of leadership incompetence and lack of substantial readiness. They argue that Filipinos are strong and can always bounce back with a smile immediately. On the contrary, all this unpreparedness leading to tragic events while in the middle of a global health crisis is too much for anyone to handle, even for the proudly “resilient” Pinoys. The bitter truth is that words of encouragement cannot fill an empty stomach, rebuild a source of income from the ground up, or revive a lost loved one. Resilience does not make any concrete and progressive difference.   Imagine the affected residents going to an evacuation center with the whole barangay thinking that maybe they are safe from the angry waters in the streets, but not from a deadly virus spreading within said supposed haven. Imagine receiving the authorities’ attention only when it affects the produce market and not on the other times local farmers needed them. Demanding the government’s accountability in situations like this is the citizens’ duty to uphold everyone’s well-being.   In the end, one should argue that Filipinos do not need to be resilient in times of calamities. What they need is to eradicate the need to be resilient.   Amapola, the gay mananganggal from Ricky Lee’s novel, fought for the freedom of his people with an advocacy for concrete solutions and not superficial band aid efforts. Filipino lives are not cheap. Prioritizing safety is the bare minimum.    Article by: Straighter than Fiction Cartoon by: Andrew D.R.

TITLE: Philippines Climate Risk Profile - Mindanao

AUTHOR: CGSpace

DATE PUBLISHED: June 2019

KEY CONTENT:

In Mindanao, agriculture, contributing 40% of the nation's production, grapples with challenges like an export-oriented model, widespread poverty, and climate change impacts. Poor information dissemination worsens these challenges, hindering farmers from adopting adaptive practices. The export-focused growth model leads to inequalities and conflicts. Pervasive poverty limits smallholders' growth, with only a fraction producing a marketable surplus. Inadequate information impedes access to markets and inputs, causing low productivity. Addressing poor information dissemination is crucial for empowering farmers to navigate climate challenges, break the poverty cycle, and ensure sustainable agricultural development in Mindanao.

AUTHOR: Global Network for Advanced Management Magazine

DATE PUBLISHED: March 2022

The article came from an Ideas-Based online Magazine of the Global Network for advanced management which discusses how climate change is affecting the Philippines especially in Mindanao. It faces serious problems because of climate change such as strong storms, longer periods without rain, and hotter temperatures. These changes are bad for farming, a big part of livelihood for many people in Mindanao. When there's not enough rain, crops die, and it's hard to work outside when it's too hot. Also, in cities, the heat can make people sick. The article emphasizes that we need to do something quickly to help Mindanao deal with these problems caused by climate change before they get even worse.

The very nature of the Philippines, being an archipelagic country located at the typhoon belt of the Pacific, leaves it vulnerable to the immediate and long-term effects of climate change. The country is rich in natural resources and these are all in danger of being destroyed by the long-term effects of climate change. Droughts occur when the temperature of the ocean is beyond its average range, which in turn makes weather events difficult to predict. High sea surface temperature also creates more powerful storms, since they gain they strength from warm water. Droughts and floods will devastate existing the agricultural industry of the country, which currently employs 27% of the labor force. Tourism contributes around 9% to the gross domestic product of the country and that is in danger as well, as the majority of tourists visit the country to enjoy the beautiful beaches, which may not stay that way for long. The acidification of the oceans could lead to the death of coral reefs, which are home to diverse mixtures of aquatic life.

Businesses are dependent on the infrastructure of the state, and the long-term effects of climate change could dramatically increase the costs of maintaining their current value chain. The acquisition of commodities is an issue that businesses should be concerned about since climate change will affect the sources of such materials. The majority of the goods arriving in the Philippines are shipped, and unstable weather conditions could make the routes of these vessels treacherous given the idiosyncrasy of typhoons in the region. They key for businesses is to develop cost-efficient and resilient systems that will enable them to reduce their waste products and aid in slowing down the rate of climate change. If their stubbornness to adapting to climate change resilient persists, the cost of maintaining their operations under a very hostile environment could force them to close. Small and medium-sized enterprises would be the most affected by this and so they must come up with creative, cost-effective solutions in order to survive.
How much are employees and consumers holding companies accountable for their business's stance on climate-related issues?
As people all over the world are becoming more educated regarding climate change, they have started demanding products and services that have less of an environmental impact. They will also demand from their employers more climate neutral work environments. That said, the Philippines is a developing country with a multitude of issues to face. Many people live under on around the poverty line and are struggling to provide for their families. Although these people are by and large also the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, it would be an illogical-perhaps even unethical-stretch to expect these people to incorporate climate change as a relevant factor in their decision-making process. That said, the emerging middle class in the country is aware of the issues and has the economic power and the will to choose for more climate neutral products and services if made sufficiently aware of the available choices.
What impact, if any, could the U.S. leaving the Paris Agreement have on your country or region?
The United States has played a significant role in most of the global events in the past couple of decades, whether it be related in conflict or humanitarian action. The Paris Agreement was a significant global agreement for signatory countries to signify that they stand by each other to support a common goal. In acts or agreements like these, the international community is responsible in policing each other with regards to the pledge they made and purposely keeping away from such agreement only alienates that country from the signatories. That said, the absence of the United States in the Paris Agreement may be quite a headline, but in terms of impact to other nations, it will probably be minute. More than anything, the agreement is for the benefit of the signatory's country and the world. Even if the U.S. may not be part of it, all the other signatory nations see its importance and will most probably honor it. If anything, all the US did by not being part of this agreement is alienate itself for their own supposed personal goals of helping their own citizens first.

TITLE: Towards a Community of Practice for Climate Security and Environmental Peacebuilding in Mindanao

AUTHOR: CGIAR

DATE PUBLISHED: December 21, 2023

KEY CONTENT:

This advocacy poster aims to convey the importance of fostering a community dedicated to climate security and peacebuilding in Mindanao. It highlights the intricate connection between environmental and land management issues and the complex web of political, cultural, and economic factors driving regional conflict. Furthermore, the exacerbation of these conflicts by climatic stressors underscores the urgent need to address issues such as food security and rural livelihoods, particularly for marginalized groups. However, amidst these challenges, proactive climate action emerges as a viable pathway to mitigate conflict drivers and promote sustainable peacebuilding. Establishing a Community of Practice ultimately reflects a commitment to addressing priority areas and advancing the collective goal of building resilient and peaceful communities in Mindanao.

In combination with political, cultural, and economic factors, issues related to environmental resources and the management of land have played a crucial role in driving conflict in Mindanao. Climatic stressors and shocks are altering food, land, and water systems, and driving important socioeconomic challenges for food security and the stability of rural livelihoods across the Philippines. Although climate change and environmental degradation are altering food, land, and water systems throughout the Philippines, social groups experience these effects differently, at times reinforcing patterns of marginalisation and inequality. As such, environmental and climatic threats to livelihoods and access to resources can compound existing drivers of conflict. At the same time, societal efforts to increase resilience in the face of climate threats can serve as an entry point to protect the livelihoods of conflict-affected populations, foster engagement and trust between conflictive parties, and strengthen the relation between states and societies. If planned accordingly, climate action can indeed act as an instrument for peace. This workshop brought together 24 Philippine stakeholders from humanitarian, development, climate and peace sectors to explore opportunities for climate change adaptation to contribute to ongoing sustainable peacebuilding efforts in Mindanao. The workshop was carried out in person throughout 3 days of extensive engagement and dialogue amongst government representatives, NGOs, international organisations, and research institutes. Participants jointly determined three conflict lines which are most prevalent in Mindanao-identity-, politically-, and resource-driven conflicts-before identifying the main drivers of conflict for each, and, in turn, identifying potential entry points for climate adaptation efforts to contribute to sustainable peacebuilding in Mindanao. An agreement was also made to establish a Community of Practice between educational, peacebuilding, and research organizations to focus on four priority areas of action: evidence, programming, policy and governance, and education.
