Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People
421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take. -
Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines – Online Appendix
ONLINE APPENDIX Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines Eugenia Go 28 February 2020 A.1. DATA 1. Maritime Trade by Origin and Destination The analysis is limited to a set of agricultural commodities corresponding to 101,159 monthly flows. About 5% of these exhibit highly improbable derived unit values suggesting encoding errors. More formally, provincial retail and farm gate prices are used as upper and lower bounds of unit values to check for outliers. In such cases, more weight is given to the volume record as advised by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and values were adjusted according to the average unit price of the exports from the port of the nearest available month before and after the outlier observation. 2. Interprovince Land Trade Interprovince land trade flows were derived using Marketing Cost Structure Studies prepared by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics for a number of products in selected years. These studies identify the main supply and destination provinces for certain commodities. The difference between production and consumption of a supply province is assumed to be the amount available for export to demand provinces. The derivation of imports of a demand province is straightforward when an importing province only has one source province. In cases where a demand province sources from multiple suppliers, such as the case of the National Capital Region (NCR), the supplying provinces are weighted according to the sample proportions in the survey. For example, NCR sources onions from Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan, and Nueva Ecija. Following the sample proportion of traders in each supply province, it is assumed that 26% of NCR imports came from Ilocos Norte, 34% from Pangasinan, and 39% from Nueva Ecija. -
CN Flores the CATTLE CARAVANS of ANCIENT CABOLOAN
C.N. Flores THE CATTLE CARAVANS OF ANCIENT CABOLOAN (INTERIOR PLAINS OF PANGASINAN): CONNECTING HISTORY, CULTURE AND COMMERCE BY CARTWHEEL Caravan cultures throughout the world depict stories of real jour- neys, discoveries and exploits. They also account for the construction of local histories, territories and market societies. At best, caravan routes map the geoeconomic and the ethnohistoric trail of peoples on the road towards venture capitalism in the earlier centuries. But in the 21st century, the history of caravan cultures remain only in the people’s memory as artefact (or artifi ce?) and which has been romanticized into bioepics or heroic adventures of legendary men caught in the age of material adventurism from the 13th to 16th centuries. In this day of global network and cyber transactions, it is fascinating and at the same time remarkable how the caravan culture still persists in the Philippines. Its persistence as a vestige of feudal past in an era of intensifi ed commercialization and industrialization is indeed indicative of uneven modes of development, as it is symbolic of inter- secting diverse cultures where the rural locale ventures into the national and into the global with far reaching implications on issues of ethnicity and cultural import. The cattle caravans of ancient Caboloan continue to peddle their bamboo-based products from the province of Pangasinan to the highways of Metro Manila. These are the ubiquitous cattle-drawn carriages selling hammocks, bamboo chairs and bookshelves we see in front of SM Fairview, Commonwealth, East and C.P. Garcia Avenues. But not until recently when Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) agents found them illegally parked along national roads thereby considered obstruction to traffi c. -

SERVICE DELIVERY of a WORLD HERITAGE CITY Florida U
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 11, November-2018 15 ISSN 2229-5518 SERVICE DELIVERY OF A WORLD HERITAGE CITY Florida U. Ursulom Abstract This survey was conducted in Vigan City to collect and generate relevant citizens’ feedback on local governments’ service delivery performance and on the citizens’ general satisfaction. Through multi-stage probability sampling, 27 of the 39 barangays were taken. From the 27 barangays, 30 spot areas were obtained with five respondents each totaling 150 respondents who were chosen using the Kish Grid and following the Starting Point-Random Start (SP-RS) control. This study specifically determined the housing profile of Vigan City residents in terms of 4Ps beneficiary, house occupancy, basic utilities, source of drinking water, source of electricity, source of information. and monthly income; the level of awareness, availment, satisfaction and importance of the service areas to the residents along health, support to education, social welfare, governance and response, public works and infrastructure, environmental management, agricultural support services, and tourism support services; and to cite the recommendations of the residents for better delivery services along the above-mentioned service areas. Findings reveal that the overall assessment on awareness, availment, satisfaction, and importance of all the service delivery areas showed a “high” level. Further, the fair level of awareness on agriculture is due to the presence of the great number of respondents who were not aware of the agricultural support of the City Government; the fair level of availment on education and governance and response, low on social welfare services, and very low on agricultural support is due to the great number of respondents who did not avail the said services of the City Government. -
