First of all, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor Xavier Bonal Sarró, whose writing on global education policies, educational inequality, and social segregation invigorated my interest in the topic. His guidance, critical feedback, and persistent help have been crucial throughout the whole research and writing process. Similarly, I would like to thank Andreu Termes López, whom I was lucky enough to meet in the Philippines and who later on became my second supervisor. His critical notes, constructive feedback, and great knowledge of the Philippine education system have greatly improved the quality of my thesis. Second, I am extremely grateful to all the people I met in the Philippines. I wish to thank my local supervisors Cecilia Soriano and Rene Raya, whose work on education privatisation in the Philippines both inspired and informed me.

Relos October 2020 The publication of this document was supported by the multi-actor partnership on climate and disaster risk financing and preparedness in the context of the InsuResilience Global Partnership (MAPs), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Rapid Situation Analysis of the Impacts of COVID-19 on MSMEs in Malolos and Paombong Marjorie Muyrong Cymon Kayle Lubangco Charlotte Marjorie L. Relos TECHNICAL REPORT October 2020 Photos by Jose4 Maria Rosalia Lapira Rapid Situation Analysis of the Impacts of COVID-19 on MSMEs in Malolos and Paombong EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The local economy of Bulacan has been showing dynamism in the recent decades. The economic growth in the province may be explained by its physical and economic proximity to Metro Manila. It may also be attributed to the rise of cooperatives in the province and the extensive efforts to foster the expansion of the industry through investment promotion and tax incentives starting in the 1990s. However, with the province’s proximity to Metro Manila, it faced significant disruptions to its local economy when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and community quarantine measures were imposed starting in mid-March of the current year. As a result of these disruptions, enterprises in Bulacan, particularly in the latter half of March 2020, faced significant constraints in the exportation of their commodities to Metro Manila and other provinces. The enterprises engaged in food production had to secure food passes to be able to move around and across borders.

The Community Environment and Natural Resources Office filed the charges against farm manager Stephen John Zaragosa and three others who were manning the structures built by the group of Zobel de Ayala in Sitio Maypa, Barangay Pancol, Taytay, Palawan.

(MANILA BULLETIN) “As we can no longer do clean ups the way we did during pre-COVID times, we need to carefully redesign our strategy of cleaning our shores and adapt to the ‘new normal’ as we also need to ensure that we do not compromise the health of our workers while they are out in the field,” DENR-NCR Executive Director Jacqueline Caancan said in a social media post. Although there are challenges, Caancan remains thankful that local government units (LGUs) have been active in cleaning up waterways within their jurisdictions. “We have even received reports about river and estero cleanups conducted by barangays even during GCQ (general community quarantine),” she said. The same can be said of the national government agencies, Caancan added. She said that the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and the Department of Public Works and Highways have been staunch partners of the DENR in coastal cleanups. In 2019, DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu launched the “Battle for Manila Bay,” a multi-sectoral effort to clean and rehabilitate Manila Bay pursuant with the Writ of Continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court.

It was that shove that bore me, that dove me, drove me down on and out, screaming into the heat of streets shimmering with dust lusting the air like pale windows, glass quivering--you could see right through to Cebu, which in case you don’t know, is a “province of the Philippines located in the Central Visayas region, and consists of a main island and legion of 167 islands and islets.” and in some past age, during her golden season, she was dubbed "the Queen of the South", the oldest city and first capital of the country, which was a beacon, as the Boxer Codex claims, of trade, and of gold, a thousand nations folded and woven through an archipelago of the South Pacific, glossy with silk, jade, and prolific with culture—Yes, those Filipinos flossed. We wore among our lingling-os, robes gilded, embroidered, heavy with gold chains, oh yes! Our grills were black. And ladies, women ran the show could have a husband or two or three or four to sack. Now, this was a kingdom! Or rather many, Manila, Taytay, Namayan, Tondo, Pangasinan, Mindano, Lanao, Tagalog, Butuan, and Sulu, and among these rahjahnates, hundreds of tribal datus.
