Tupay Loong (1st District, Sulu), approved and adopted its Rules of Procedure for the 16th Congress. During the meeting, the Committee discussed the issue raised by Tawi-Tawi Rep. Ruby Sahali concerning the insufficient P3.8 billion budget earmarked for the rehabilitation of Zamboanga City under the proposed supplemental budget of the national government. Rep. Sahali said that the amount being allocated is extremely inadequate to fully rehabilitate and reconstruct the basic social and economic infrastructures in the four barangays severely damaged when members of the Misuari-led faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) occupied parts of Zamboanga City. She called on the Committee to make representations with the leadership to specifically include additional funds for the purchase of a portion of land known as “Arena Blanco” in Zamboanga City primarily for the benefit of families affected by the armed conflict. The Committee agreed to prepare and submit a manifestation seeking to increase the funds earmarked in the proposed supplemental budget for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Zamboanga City. Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. (4th District, Quezon City) filed HB 34223 which seeks to appropriate P14.6 billion as supplemental appropriations for the FY 2013 to boost funding for the rehabilitation of calamity stricken areas. The said fund will be drawn from the unused Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) for 2013.

(PLDT) at ang kanyang wireless unit Smart Communication Inc. (Smart) para tulungan na maitaas ang kamalayan ng Caraga region sa peatlands sa naturang rehiyon. Ayon kay DENR Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, ang peatlands ay pangunahing mahalagang hakbang para sa ligtas na inuming tubig, patulong para ipreserba ang global biodiversity at tulungan ang mapababa ang bagta ng baha. “Peatlands are dubbed as ‘one of the most valuable ecosystems on Earth’ according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature or IUCN because apart from all these uses, they also help mitigate climate change and global warming,” ayon kay Cimatu. Sinabi ng DENR na ang Peatlands ay isang uri ng wetlands na binubuo ng carbon- rich dead and decaying plant matter. Pinapanatili nito ang pagiging basa. Ang Peatlands ay pinapanatili ang dalawang ulit ang carbon na ang lahat na may kombinasyon ng pinagsanib na world’s forest. Kaugnay nito, mahalaga ang papel nito na magpapagaan sa climate change lalo na tumataas na natural carbon sinks ay napipinsala at nananatiling hindi napapansin. Ang DENR at PLDT-Smart ay pananatilihin ang programa ng konserbasyon sa peatlands sa web activity na nakatakdang isagawa sa Nobyembre 6, 2020 na magsisimula ang Climate Change Consciousness Week sa huling bahagi ng buwan.

    Religion, Politics and Sex: Contesting Catholic Teaching and Transnational Reproductive Health Norms in the Contemporary Philippines By Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ron E. Hassner, Chair Professor Vinod K. Aggarwal Professor Jerome P. Baggett Professor Edwin M. Epstein Professor Steven Weber Fall 2011 © 2011 by Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow All rights reserved. Abstract Religion, Politics and Sex: Contesting Catholic Teaching and Transnational Reproductive Health Norms in the Contemporary Philippines By Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Ron E. Hassner, Chair How does religion shape transnational norms and the ways in which they are contested or adopted? Although constructivist international relations theory has made significant strides in understanding the role of norms in shaping political outcomes, there has been little research into how religion affects norm dynamics. This dissertation seeks to address this gap by developing a theory of “religious norms”, which I define as standards of proper behavior that arise from actors’ religious beliefs. I argue that while religious norms bear many similarities to secular norms, they differ in that believers understand them to emanate from the highest authority of all, that of the sacred. This can lead religious adherents to treat religious norms as having overriding importance, especially when they perceive them to be under attack from competing norms. When this happens, religious adherents can frame the religious norm as highly salient, constitutive of the faith and under threat, a process that I call “defensive sacralization”.
