The country’s epidemic is described as “hidden and growing”. Commitments to halt this epidemic have launched efforts both at the national and local levels. Local Government Academy’s Program on Scaling-up Effective and Sustained Response on HIV and AIDS is one such effort. In partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, initiatives focused on developing the leadership capacities of local governments and the Regional AIDS Assistance Teams in providing sustainable local AIDS responses. Aside from capacity building, research and publication and technical assistance, the Program launched the local C.H.A.M.P. (Catalytic Actions for HIV and AIDS Mitigation Programme) Award. Local CHAMP recognizes the good practices of local governments in addressing the HIV and AIDS problem and in improving services to their target clientele. The awards started in 2010 and the practices of six LGU winners are featured in this publication. The stories and experiences in four cities (Baguio, Santiago, Parañaque, Zamboanga) and 2 provinces (Aklan, North Cotabato) were captured primarily through document and literature review and interviews. BAGUIO CITY. The story outlines the pioneering ideas and actions of the city since 1987, eleven years before the enactment of RA 8504. Readers would learn that the city was the first to create a local AIDS Council, first to recruit the active participation of the private sector, and to practice the STI Syndromic Case Reporting System. The city’s internationally recognized Bonjing website and its fun and jam-packed Annual WAD Conference is also a good practice to discover. Not surprisingly, the City’s RHWC was once noted as the best and most ideal facility, being able to offer quality and comprehensive package of services for PLHIVs and the general populace alike. SANTIAGO CITY. The city enjoyed a relatively long HIV-free period, until the first case was recorded in 2011. Their local response nevertheless started as early as 2008. The city exhibits foresight and astuteness in effectively building a functional multi-sectoral coalition that jointly works to strengthen HIV and AIDS advocacy efforts. It also introduced the mobile awareness booth that roams around the town’s public places, schools and institutional complexes together with the volunteer peer educators who serve as the information personnel. PARAÑAQUE CITY. The city showed that delinquents-to-role model approach is a risky but fulfilling strategy if applied correctly. Deviating from the basic peer counseling methodology, the self-help initiative of a dozen alcoholics/addicts/gang members through the initial support of Save the Children, grew into what is the Adolescent-Friendly RH Services in Parañaque City. Officially founded under the B.A.L.U.T.I. program, the BALUTI together with the City Health Office manages both the community- based and school-based activities that is grounded on their effective Give Me 5 Communication Approach. ZAMBOANGA CITY. Recognizing the threats not only locally but also from the neighboring countries, the City championed the cause when it created and enriched the membership of the Multi-Sectoral AIDS Council. It also organized the at-risk groups and customized programs for IDUs. It saw the need to prepare IEC materials in Chavacano and to beef up the composition of inspection activities of its Task Force Buenas. All in all, the city welcomed all possible partners from all walks of life. AKLAN PROVINCE. The province led in the formation of a multi-sectoral collaboration that capitalizes on the expertise of member-partners in fighting the HIV and AIDS problem in Aklan. It reached out to the youth, gay community, CSOs, academe and media. This collaboration was instrumental in the design of creative IEC campaigns and the creation of the Peer Educators Council. Every December, the WAD celebration is a reflection of the concerted efforts of all Council/Collaboration members. NORTH COTABATO PROVINCE. This is an interesting case featuring an RH/HIV/AIDS awareness program for men in uniform (MIU). In partnership with development aid agencies, the province managed the conduct of a series of training activities for selected military battalions. Peer facilitators were identified from each of the platoons. As a result, rate of condom use as well as MIU availing vasectomy procedures increased. These six cases are excellent examples of meaningful and life-changing undertakings on HIV and AIDS. They show that local governments and community organizations can make a difference. Size does not matter when passion, compassion and competence are present. These cases present practices that work, even against a huge enemy like HIV and AIDS. Their moment of submission of the awards application document is like a foretelling. The flow of events would clearly suggest the ending. There is no doubt in anyone familiar with their story that Baguio City would win the 2011 Local C.H.A.M.P Award. THE SETTING Baguio, located in the Province of Benguet and 250 kilometers north of Manila, is a first class city. Its 129 barangays occupy 57.5 square kilometers of land. As of 2010, its estimated population

  • Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights
    Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights AURORA ROXAS-LIM* Abstract This research focuses on the ongoing socioeconomic transformation of the sea-oriented Sama-Bajao whose sad plight caught the attention of the government authorities due to the outbreak of violent hostilities between the armed Bangsa Moro rebels and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the 1970s. Among hundreds of refugees who were resettled on land, the Sama- Bajao, who avoid conflicts and do not engage in battles, were displaced and driven further out to sea. Many sought refuge in neighboring islands mainly to Sabah, Borneo, where they have relatives, trading partners, and allies. Massive displacements of the civilian populations in Mindanao, Sulu, and Tawi- Tawi that spilled over to outlying Malaysia and Indonesia forced the central government to take action. This research is an offshoot of my findings as a volunteer field researcher of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) to monitor the implementation of the Indigenous People’s Rights to their Ancestral Domain (IPRA Law RA 8371 of 1997). Keywords: inter-ethnic relations, Sama-Bajao, Taosug, nomadism, demarcation of national boundaries, identity and citizenship, human rights of indigenous peoples * Email: [email protected] V olum e 18 (2017) Roxas-Lim Introduction 1 The Sama-Bajao people are among the sea-oriented populations in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Sama-Bajao are mentioned together and are often indistinguishable from each other since they speak the same Samal language, live in close proximity with each other, and intermarry.

  • THE SUBDIALECT FILIPINO Guerrero De La Paz
    THE SUBDIALECT FILIPINO Guerrero de la Paz What is "Filipino?" There is much difference of opinion on this matter. According to one school of thought, Filipino is not only different from Tagalog, but that it (Filipino) still does not exist, but on the contrary, it still has to be developed. If one were to pursue this argument to its logical conclusion, it would lead to the authorities stopping the compulsory teaching of "Filipino" in schools, and ending its use in government, since such a language still does not exist. That this opinion has influence even in government can be gleaned from the fact that it was the argument used by the Cebu Regional Trial Court in 1990, when it stopped the Department of Education, Culture and Sports and its officials in the Central Visayas from requiring the use of Filipino as a medium of instruction in schools in Cebu (Philippine Daily Inquirer, June 10, 1990). We all know that this issue became moot and academic when the Cebu Provincial Board withdrew the ban on the compulsory teaching of the putative national language on the "request" of then President Joseph Estrada in 1998. http://newsflash.org/199810/ht/ht000561.htm On the other hand, the predominant view these days (incidentally, that held by the authorities, at least at DepEd/DepTag) is that Filipino already exists. The following is taken from an article by the late Bro. Andrew Gonzalez, one of the staunch supporters of Filipino: "The national language of the Philippines is Filipino, a language in the process of development and modernisation; it is based on the Manila lingua franca which is fast spreading across the Philippines and is used in urban centers into the country.
