  • Exploring the Culture of Disaster of the Ati Peoples in Bicol, Philippines
    【Article】 1 Living in Danger: Exploring the Culture of Disaster of the Ati Peoples in Bicol, Philippines LABAYO, Czarina Ceballo Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation Division of Education Development and Cultural and Regional Studies Hiroshima University 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima 739-8529, Japan Abstract The Ati peoples, known for their nomadic culture and knowledge on traditional medicine are precariously living along the foot of the active volcanic-mountain Mayon that has been proclaimed as a “danger zone”. Rather than live in the resettlement area provided by the local government, they stay in the danger zone where they are faced with day-to-day danger brought about by their surroundings. While this study reveals the Ati peoples’ culture of disaster as manifested in their architectural adaptation, agricultural practices, and cultural practices, it also tackles their perceptions about the concept of danger, considerations for living in the dangerous area, and their significant contributions in the local community. Key words: disaster, culture, disaster, coping strategies Introduction Disaster is imbedded in the culture of the Filipinos and this culture of disaster is pivotal in the reduction of risks and danger. Yet, indigenous communities like the Ati peoples in Bicol experience neglect and marginalization. Arguing that the indigenous communities’ culture of disaster must be looked into and urging authorities to consider integrating this into policies, it is in this light that the researcher aims to examine the importance of the culture of disaster possessed by the Ati peoples. While disasters are considered as a broad as any type of individual or group stress (Quarantelli, 1985), this study implores on the idea that disasters do not occur out of context but are embedded in the political structures, economic systems and social orders of the societies.

  • Maternal and Child Care Among the Tagalogs in Bay, Laguna, Philippines
    MATERNAL AND CHILD CARE AMONG. THE .TAGALOGS IN BAY, LAGUNA, PHiliPPINES .. > ' • • • F. LANDA INTRODL'CTION The purpose of this paper· is to present an ethnographic picture of certain aspects of maternal· and child care among the Tagalogs in- habiting the municipality of Bay, Laguna, Philippines.1 It is hoped that persons working in programs of family planning,· maternal ·and child health, and ·community mediCine will find the data useful. No· theoretical model is worked into datiL Our aim is to illustrate empirica1ly that traditional practices · associated with maternal and child care are at an· guesswork: as mbst health innovators often think them. to 'Matermtl and child 'care in the area is hand1ed by individuals who adept practition.ers. Their training and skills differ from those of P;l.qdern .physicians and ilurses, if ·only because the medical technology available. in. the community is less developed than that found in urban centers and. universities.. But. this does I not mean' · that folk medical practices are based entirely on unsound medical knowledge. This asser- 'tion becomes clear if one assesses medical practices in Bay in the context of . the local technology known and accessible to the people. The merit of this. assertion lies on the fact that for a peasant group to be able to develop standardized ways of handlip.g medical problems, to· cultivate wild vines and grasses as effective medicinal plants and abortifacients, to recognize disease and prescribe the best .plant to cure 'it, to formulate a body of beliefs that serves as guideline for systematic medical action - this, to my mind, is enough .

  • Fifteen Shades of Green: a Cultural Portrait of Empowered Filipino Elderly Vertical Gardeners
    Journal of Nature Studies 18(2): 1-25 Online ISSN: 2244-5226 FIFTEEN SHADES OF GREEN: A CULTURAL PORTRAIT OF EMPOWERED FILIPINO ELDERLY VERTICAL GARDENERS 1 1 Evangeline T. Estrada * and Ma. Concepcion V. Roxas 1 The Graduate School, University of Sto. Tomas *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT – This ethnographic study intends to describe the culture-sharing group of empowered Filipino senior citizens in a neighborhood-initiated vertical gardening engagement. Guided by the empowerment framework, the descriptive characteristics and the empowering attributes were cultivated from the emic (vertical gardeners) and etic (researcher) perspectives through a 20-month immersion as a participant observer. Photographs of their gardens and their gardening engagements substantiate the richness of the description. Findings of the study highlights the fifteen shades of green represented by the different facets of Filipino elderly vertical gardeners, their vertical gardens, and their resonating cultural values. Empowering attributes that fosters sustainable vertical gardening engagements include: Grounding on values, beliefs and language; Growing desire to create vertical green space and a sense of place; and Grasping for knowledge, skills and sustainable practices. The cultural portrait elucidates understanding on the value of contextualization and inclusion for empowering the elderly in community greening. Further research could be undertaken to identify other attributes that could enhance the propensity of the senior citizens to engage in vertical greening. Keywords: empowerment, ethnography, senior citizens, vertical gardening INTRODUCTION Urbanization comes with challenges affecting the elderly population. One of the greening initiatives undertaken by communities to alleviate the negative effects on urban health is gardening. The Makati City urban greening program promotes tree planting and organic urban farming in schools.
