AUTHOR: Gaea Katreena Cabico

DATE PUBLISHED: December 20, 2023

KEY CONTENT:

People from Mindanao suffered a tragic flood, which caused extensive damage to their homes. As a result, they were displaced and had no choice but to seek refuge elsewhere. The flood devastated communities and left many families in dire need of assistance.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MANILA, Philippines - Over 82,000 people were displaced after cyclone Kabayan struck Mindanao, causing heavy rain and triggering flooding, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reported Tuesday.

Of the 82,703 individuals who fled their homes, around 67,105 sought refuge in evacuation centers in Northern Mindanao, Davao region, and CARAGA.

According to the NDRRMC, about 22,000 were pre-emptively evacuated in Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Davao region, and CARAGA.

The disaster agency stated that Kabayan resulted in at least one person being injured, while an individual from the Davao region was reported missing.

Around 390 evacuation centers are activated as of this time with 19,601 families or 67,105 individuals being aided inside and another 4,891 families or 15,598 persons being helped outside.

The Office of Civil Defense earlier said the affected families include those displaced and those not needing transfer or removal from their residence.

Damaged houses are placed at 53 and these were reported in Northern Mindanao, Davao Region and Caraga

No deaths are reported as of this time but the NDRRMC said it is validating one injured in Northern Mindanao and one missing in Davao Region.

Kabayan dissipated into a low pressure area as it crossed the rugged terrain of Mindanao after making landfall in Davao Oriental Monday morning.

But state weather bureau PAGASA said Tuesday the threat of flash floods and landslides remains in Visayas Mindanao, MIMAROPA, Bicol region, Quezon province, and Aurora due to rain brought by the LPA and the shear line.

The government has so far allocated P92,676 in assistance to support affected residents.

The Philippines has so far experienced fewer storms in 2023 than in any of the past 25 years. Only 11 cyclones have hit or come close to the Philippines so far this year, a significant drop from the average of 20.

DAMAGED CROPS

The Department of Agriculture on Tuesday said the area of standing crops affected by the former Tropical Depression Kabayan has reached 625,963 hectares.

Kabayan, now a low pressure area, damaged 424,673 hectares for rice and 201,290 hectares for corn.

"Based on the combined data of affected regions 4-B, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 as of December 18," the DA said.

No immediate data on the damage cost is available.

The DA is collating the submission of situationer reports, particularly on agricultural areas, from its regional field offices. -/Philstar.com and PNA (FREEMAN)

TITLE: In Davao City, what anti-discrimination ordinance are you talking about?

AUTHOR: Michael David dela Cruz Tan

DATE PUBLISHED: September 7, 2023

KEY CONTENT:

Despite the presence of an anti-discrimination ordinance in Davao City, the LGBTQIA community continues to endure discrimination in common spaces, perpetuating feelings of exclusion and unwelcomeness. This highlights the sobering reality that legal frameworks alone are insufficient without robust societal education advocacy, and enforcement to foster a truly inclusive and accepting environment for all individuals.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I was on the way to the wet market of Bankerohan, when - at an intersection - two men in a tricycle (delivering some goods from the palengke) yelled "Bayot! Bayot!" to two transgender women seated on rough cement on the sidewalk. The two LGBTQIA persons quickly gave the perhaps-heterosexual-identifying men a look, and then basically ignored them to continue massaging their feet after removing their heels. More yelling of "Bayot!" happened... and then that tricycle was gone from sight. The two who were mocked didn't seem to give the heckling any mind; they weren't fazed or whatever, and just went on with what they were doing.

I was more flabbergasted, truth be told. I felt for the two members of the LGBTQIA community. I used to be repeatedly mocked, too, even while just simply walking on streets. I still get taunted at times, in fact...

But I was taken by surprise, too, when it happened. Mainly because Davao City already has an anti-discrimination ordinance (this has been repeatedly used to portray the Dutertes as more pro-LGBTQIA than their political opponents). Specifically, Executive Ordinance No. 0417-2012 (or the Anti-Discrimination Ordinance of Davao City) was passed in 2012, declaring as unlawful acts and conduct of discrimination based on sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, color, descent, national or ethnic origin, and religious affiliation or belief. This was eventually amended in 2018.

Here's the thing: This ordinance continues to be teeth-less since there's still no IRR (implementing rules and regulations).

Now and then you'd encounter news about pro-LGBTQIA efforts in Davao, like the conversion of G/F restrooms of the Sangguniang Panlungsod building in 2018. The move is supposed to stress that the city is all-welcoming.

But I'd argue that Davao City's ADO is exemplifying the ongoing failed attempt at real LGBTQIA inclusion. And this is due to various reasons. Let's go through some...

1. I seriously doubt THAT MANY LGBTQIA people in Davao City know of this ADO's existence.

Those two transgender women who were yelled at definitely didn't. Or at least I assume. Else, they'd know there's a legal policy that protects them from that very occurrence; and no one can/is allowed to do that to them sans sanctions/punishment. So they could have had those guys arrested... theoretically, at least. Unless they were okay with being abused, which makes it a different story altogether...

2. The absence of the IRR 11 years after the ordinance was passed shows everyone that this wasn't and still isn't a priority effort of the local government.

Duterte the father signed this, and Davao already had his daughter and son replace him. And yet still no IRR has been made. Which makes you question where - in the priorities of politicians - protecting LGBTQIA human rights lies. Though yeah... apparently not high enough in the list of ASAP/must do immediately.

Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.

3. The groundswell doesn't seem to exist for this ordinance to exist.

Yes this is needed; what happened to those two transgender women in Bankerohan highlight why this is needed. But that there's no strong call for the IRR to be be rushed perhaps shows that local LGBTQIA people's priorities may be elsewhere... say, making a living (check the area around Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas/BSP to see the growing number of transgender sex workers walking the streets with those who were assigned female at birth, all of them derisively called " buring " or "prostitutes").

This lack of grassroots call for a law to protect them is actually also apparent with the SOGIESC Equality Bill, also much-needed and yet seemingly "guarded" (gate keeping much, yes) by select organizations and their people who are mainly based in Metro Manila; ask LGBTQIA Filipinos from far-flung areas and they honestly don't know anything about it (or even about SOGIESC, or being LGBTQIA). A disconnect is there, with those just-as-affected not getting the most from supposed-to-be-beneficial efforts because: a) they may not have been tapped in the development and eventual implementation of the same; b) they do not know the existence of these policies supposed to benefit them; and c) the "leaders" did not explain to them what good these policies will do to them.

4. Laws can only do so much; we also need cultural change.

There are already laws protecting women... and these are national in scope (e.g. (Republic Act 9710 or the Magna Carta of Women), and yet women in Davao City are not spared from discriminatory practices. That dismissive referring to female sex workers as " buring " by the taxi drivers who drove us past BSP provides a glimpse at how women may still be looked down on... Because having a law does not automatically change patriarchal beliefs often excused as "part of our culture".

This is the same with pro-LGBTQIA policies. These should not solely exist; instead, these should trigger changes in practices to make them more respectful of LGBTQIA people. This is the end-goal: for cultures to start embracing us. So we don't hear those " Bayot! " taunting again...

Here's the thing: Laws are only as good as their application. In the case of Davao City's ADO, well... we ask: What ADO? If people can just mock LGBTQIA people on streets, in front of everyone, with the abusers not caring about the repercussions, then one is bound to wonder if such an ordinance exists at all. And since we even have to ask about its existence, then yeah, this one has become a there-but-not-there policy...

The Indigenous people of Mindanao have resisted the destruction of their land throughout successive waves of colonization–first by the Spanish, then by the United States. Mindanao’s native peoples were able to maintain stewardship of their ancestral land for centuries, while other regions of the archipelago were systematically plundered. It’s thanks to the sustained land defense of the Indigenous people of Mindanao, collectively known as the Lumad, that the destruction of Mindanao has historically been kept at bay.

DCPO TO RAMP UP MOVES VS SEXUAL CRIMES

AUTHOR: Administrator of Davao City Government Website
DATE PUBLISHED: August 22, 2022

KEY CONCEPTS:

There is a lot of sexual harassment and assault occurring in common spaces in the community, such as schools, public transportation, and many other public spaces. The police recorded 175 cases in 2019, 173 cases in 2020, and 169 cases in 2021. Police Major Maria Teresita Gaspan stated that there was a need to establish a holistic anti-criminality forum dedicated to addressing rape and other sexual crimes. She said such a forum should be composed of all agencies concerned, including “schools, barangays, faith-based groups, other agencies, and other stakeholders," to highlight the need for a safe community for everyone.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Davao City Police (DCPO) has laid out its initial plans in combatting rape and other sexual crimes during the Consultative Forum Addressing Rape and Sexual Abuse Cases held at the Camp Captain Domingo E. Leonor on Monday.

Police Major Maria Teresita Gaspan, DCPO's Women and Children Protection Desk Chief, said the police will be bolstering its capacity to respond to sexual abuse cases observed to be rising in the city.

The police recorded 175 cases in 2019, 173 cases in 2020 and 169 cases in 2021.

Monday's forum was attended by DCPO's Deputy City Director for Administration Lt. Col. Jed Clamor, Acting City Director Col. Alberto Lupaz, Atty. Charmaine P. Valentin of the Special Council-Violence Against Women from the Integrated Gender and Development Division (IGDD), IGDD head Lorna Mandin, and the Committee on Women chair Councilor Trisha Ann Villafuerte.

Gaspan said there was a need to establish a hollistic anti-criminality forum dedicated to address rape and other sexual crimes. She said such forum should be composed of all agencies concerned, including "schools, barangays, faith-based (groups), other-agencies and other stakeholders."

There are also plans to add more security personnel in certain police stations to balance out the police-civilian ratio in some areas of the city, Gaspan said.

She added that the DCPO will also be streamlining its referral pathways in responding to rape and sexual abuse cases.

Gaspan said the DCPO's regular programs geared towards the prevention of sexual crimes- such as inter-agency consultative meetings/conferences, capacity building trainings, school-based and community-based information drive, safe and unsafe touch lectures, barangay pulong-pulong/dialogue, regular patrolling, and raising awareness through traditional media and through social media- will be heightened.

This year, the DCPO's Sagop Kabataan program, which aims to rescue minors from sexual exploitation, has conducted 2,403 operations, rescuing a total of 1,117 youths. Of these, 817 are male and 320 are female.

During the forum, DCPO director Lupaz ordered the 20 police station commanders in the city to do whatever they can to safeguard the city's record as one of the country's safest cities, stressing on the need to eradicate incestuous rapes by conducting "pulong-pulong" or dialogues at the barangay levels.

"The marching order is to downtrend rape cases in your area," Lupaz said.

The DCPO director said Davao City must continue to live up to its reputation of a child-friendly city.

Lorna Mandin, head of the Integrated Gender and Development Division (IGDD), said the rise in reported rape cases could be a sign that the "culture of silence" among rape victims is slowly being broken down by efforts from various agencies in fighting the stigma against victims of sexual crimes.

She added that the fight against rape is not only the responsibility of the city police but also of the community.

According to the DCPO, Davao City has recorded 98 rape cases from January 1 to August 21 this year. This is a slight increase from the 96 reported cases during the same period last year.

Out of the 98 cases, 89 victims are female and nine are male. Of the cases, 21 were incestuous rape, 45 were committed by an acquaintance of the victim.

Gaspan said all 98 cases are already filed in court with all suspects identified. As of the time of writing, 38 arrests have been made. CIO

The Citizens' Disaster Response Center Foundation, Inc. (CDRC) condemns the harassment and human rights violations being experienced by the staff of Disaster Response Center (DIRECT), its partner organization based in Sarangani in Mindanao.

On August 4, vehicles parked at DIRECT's Koronadal Operations Center were intentionally burned by unidentified persons using Molotov - torches made up of bottles that contain gasoline. More than the damages this incident caused to the vehicles, it put the lives of DIRECT's staff in danger.

DIRECT had been a subject of red-tagging in the past years. Days before the incident, their staff observed a group of people observing their office.

DIRECT is a non-government organization that promotes community-based disaster management, implements projects on disaster risk reduction and management projects, emergency relief, early recovery and rehabilitation in disaster-stricken communities in SOCCSKSARGEN and other areas in Mindanao since its establishment in 1991.

DIRECT recently completed a project to enhance the capacities of their staff and Disaster Preparedness Committee officers and members on community-based disaster management. When the government imposed community quarantines due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DIRECT responded by delivering relief assistance in the form of food and non-food items, commodity vouchers, and cash.

When a series of earthquakes hit Mindanao in November 2019, DIRECT was able to provide assistance to thousands of survivors. They risked their lives and even experienced aftershocks while gathering data and distributing relief goods.

CDRC calls on the authorities in Sarangani to investigate this case. This act of harassment is a clear manifestation of the prevalent culture of impunity. Human rights violations are time and again committed against development workers while justice remains elusive.

For years, development workers who actively work with marginalized communities have been harassed, threatened, and intimidated. With this recent case of harassment against DIRECT, it is now crucial that we should unite and demand a stop to attacks against development workers.

We call on development workers to unite for the people's right to development as we fight the atrocities not only against our organizations but against vulnerable communities as well.

STOP THE ATTACKS!
STAND FOR PEOPLE'S DEVELOPMENT, JUSTICE, AND PEACE!
