KEY INFO: The Philippines' statistics agency reports a reduction in the nation's population of poor people. However, many underprivileged individuals assert that a family's P10,481 monthly income is still insufficient. The majority argue that P10,000 is inadequate because it won't be able to meet all daily necessities in light of the inflation crisis or the increase in the price of goods.]]> 2023-09-25 06:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2718738140 9.

TITLE: Making Sense of the Philippines’ Latest Poverty Statistics

DATE: September 07, 2022

AUTHOR: Mong Palatino, The Diplomat Magazine

KEY INFO: The newest statistics from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) show that poverty in the Philippines has increased during 2018, with 19.99 million people now living below the poverty line, or 18.1% of the population. The number of people who lack access to food has also increased by 1.01 million. The PSA's poverty line, which works up to just $1.41 a day for a family of five, is contested by critics. Even higher poverty rates are possible, according to a private survey by the Social Weather Station (SWS). Concerns have been raised about how the COVID-19 epidemic may affect governance, and there have been calls for rapid government action as well as a more all-encompassing strategy for tackling poverty and economic recovery.]]> 2023-09-25 06:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2718782307 6.

AUTHOR: Al Jazeera English

KEY INFO: Of the 106 million people in the Philippines, about one in five are extremely poor and earn less than $2 each day. Many people—including children—work long hours as laborers or street vendors to earn enough money to eat. Hunger and malnutrition are particularly common in areas where 70% of employees live in poverty due to a lack of federal financing and easily accessible development, which is comparable to the challenges that Davao City's informal settlers may have undergone.]]> 2023-09-25 07:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2718846956 7.

TITLE: Cost of Living Crisis: What does it look like around the world?

DATE:  August 19, 2022

AUTHOR: Keetie Roelen

KEY INFO: The blog shows how people struggle to meet basic needs because of poverty, or to put it another way, because of the expense of living. More than half of the population is living in poverty due to high inflation and rising costs for essential necessities, and the higher cost of life is causing desperation and hopelessness. The blog demonstrates the appeals for governments to act and beg for support on how it will be crucial to prevent bankruptcy, loss of homes and livelihoods, and starvation, which are difficulties similar to those of informal settlers in Davao who frequently face multiple socioeconomic, environmental, and political exclusions that all contribute to unhealthy living conditions.

TITLE: Using the Philippines for Money? | When Poverty Turns into Content

DATE: 16 Nov 2022

AUTHOR: Jessica Lee

KEY INFO: Poverty porn is a controversial media genre that exploits impoverished people in developing countries to evoke emotional responses from viewers. It often portrays extreme suffering and exaggerates poverty, primarily focusing on the negative aspects to generate sympathy and sometimes donations. Poverty porn can raise awareness about global poverty and humanitarian needs, potentially serving as a tool for fundraising and mobilizing support. Critics argue that poverty porn is exploitative, one-dimensional, and reinforces negative stereotypes, promoting short-term aid over real solutions. There are ethical concerns about the dignity of those featured in poverty porn, the actual impact on poverty alleviation, and the role of viewers in consuming such content. Viewer awareness and critical thinking are crucial when engaging with poverty-related media.

KEY INFO: In Davao Region, Davao Occidental had the highest subsistence incidence at 19.4% in the first half of 2021, with around 66.6 thousand individuals below the food threshold. Davao Oriental and Davao de Oro followed closely, with subsistence incidences of 12.6% (equivalent to 76.4 thousand food-poor individuals) and 10.1% (comprising 78.8 thousand food-poor population), respectively. Davao del Norte had a subsistence incidence of 6.2%, representing 65.5 thousand Davaoeños with inadequate income for basic food needs. Davao del Sur recorded a subsistence incidence of 5.7%, equivalent to 40.3 thousand food-poor individuals. In contrast, Davao City, a Highly Urbanized City, had the lowest subsistence incidence at 2.8%, with approximately 51.6 thousand food-poor Davaoeños in the first semester of 2021.

Regarding the clustering of provinces based on poverty incidences among families from 2015 to 2018, Davao Oriental was the only province that moved from Cluster 2 to Cluster 3. The other four provinces remained in their respective clusters: Davao del Sur, including Davao City, in Cluster 5; Davao del Norte in Cluster 4; Davao de Oro in Cluster 3; and Davao Occidental in Cluster 2.

TITLE: Restaurant Waste Served Up as Food called ’pagpag’ by Poor Filipinos Struggling to Survive

DATE: July 27, 2019

AUTHOR: South China Morning Post

KEY INFO: Thousands of poor families are surviving in the Philippines' slums on pagpag, a meal created from leftover restaurant food that is popular locally. The food that will end up in landfills is scavenged from trash cans and collecting locations and is cleaned and recooked before being sold. This clearly illustrates how difficult it is for informal immigrants to obtain a sustainable way of life especially in the absence of governmental support and easily accessible prosperity. ]]> 2023-09-26 09:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2720884518 2.

TITLE: Economic Poverty in Davao City

DATE: September 23, 2023

AUTHOR: Bart Cabahug

KEY INFO: Poverty can be found in Davao City in places such as Ramon Magsaysay Park. Using their skills or even causing harm, people will do anything to make money. It articulates the primary causes of squatter settlements: population growth in urban cities and lack of affordable housing. The effect of rural-to-urban migration is that city populations have been growing vastly. Owing to the fact of limited educational attainment leads to a cycle of poverty and reduces opportunities for upward mobility. ]]> 2023-09-26 11:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2721036024 13.

KEY INFO: Shameran Abed emphasizes the reduction in global poverty but also the failure to address severe poverty, often known as ultra-poor, which is defined by factors other than money. It underlines the need for governments to implement and scale up such projects while discussing the need of giving hope and self-worth to those living in poverty. Similar to the squatters in Davao City, the Ted Talk may raise consciousness by focusing on how to overcome poverty and what services the government may offer. ]]> 2023-09-26 13:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2721275284 18.

TITLE: Pathways Out Of Poverty

DATE: Published on 2016

AUTHOR: Marites M. Tiongco

KEY INFO: The book emphasizes that one of the socioeconomic issues plaguing the Philippines is rapid population increase, which exacerbates underdevelopment, economic stagnation, resource depletion, a low literacy rate, and a high crime rate. Additionally, it contributes to the pervasive issues of unemployment and poverty. In connection with this, the same issues—poor housing, starvation, homelessness, insufficient childcare, dangerous neighborhoods, and underfunded schools—can also be seen among Davao City's informal settlers. The government's legislative efforts to solve the problem are also still insufficient and effectively preventing the poor from achieving a sustainable lifestyle with accessible development. ]]> 2023-09-26 13:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2721291151 19.

TITLE: Urban Poverty in the Philippines: Nature,·Causes and Policy Measures

DATE: Published on 1994

AUTHOR: Arsenio M. Balisacan

KEY INFO: The Philippines' rapid urbanization puts it ahead of other Asian nations in its development stage. Despite urbanization, income growth and shifting to higher-productivity jobs have not kept pace, increasing urban poverty. Despite sustained economic growth, the marginalized will take years to cross poverty. The paper links urban poverty to industrialization policies, trade policies that penalize specific sectors, and inadequate public spending on human capital for the marginalized. Policy reforms should prioritize labor-intensive goods, balanced urban-rural growth, and income distribution to reduce poverty. Politicians must support pro-poor, pro-market, and pro-growth reforms, but well-organized groups benefiting from the status quo oppose them. The academic community and social action groups are crucial reform advocates. The paper emphasizes a state-market solid partnership, with the state investing in infrastructure and enforcing rules. Pro-poor policies should outline poverty reduction strategies with penalties and rewards to motivate public and private actors. Public agent renewal schemes must incentivize people experiencing poverty to participate in poverty-focused programs. Poverty-reduction reforms require essential services in poor areas and effective information systems. ]]> 2023-09-26 14:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/anmmgantalao/bh3a5tlnjxxi9rvw/wish/2721321464 20.
