Social Capital and Facebook Use of Tacloban City After Super Typhoon Haiyan SOCIAL CAPITAL AND FACEBOOK USE OF TACLOBAN CITY AFTER SUPER TYPHOON HAIYAN Arla E. Fontamillas A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Development Studies Victoria University of Wellington March 2015 ABSTRACT This case study examined the extent to which social media can help build and strengthen the social capital of communities in the face of natural disasters. It investigated Tacloban City, an area hit hardest by Super Typhoon Haiyan on 08 November 2013. Haiyan is considered as the most powerful tropical cyclone in recorded human history. With the vast international attention it received, it also highlighted the growing role of Facebook in facilitating and influencing disaster aid and response, particularly in a developing country such as the Philippines. Social capital describes how networks and resources within the community are made available to people through their connections with others. This concept is gaining popularity because of the increasing role of social media during disasters. While its effects on the behaviour of people in disasters are generally perceived to be useful, few studies have actually examined how social media changes the way people mobilise themselves in a disaster-stricken and politically tensed society. Separate interviews and focus group discussions among selected residents of two coastal communities (Barangays 89 and 48-B), selected members of two local NGOs (Community & Family Services International and Operation Blessing - Visayas), and three members of the city government (vice-mayor, urban and environmental consultant, and city councillor) revealed that Facebook extended the geography of the social capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan. It allowed the survivors to inform their families and relatives, who are residing in different countries, of their condition and consequently receive physical help, like money and goods, from them. However, as a mediated form of communication, Facebook was limited in addressing the socio-political realities of Tacloban City, which was marked by widespread mistrust and uncertainty. Paradoxically, Facebook has amplified the structural inequalities already present in Tacloban City before it was hit by Super Typhoon Haiyan. While it enhanced strong ties, it has failed to forge weaker ties. As a result, it has instead widened the gap between those who have more power over the access to resources and those who have less. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest gratitude goes to the Lord, whose promises had been my source of strength and hope throughout my entire postgraduate journey. It is from this faith that I still believe, despite the skepticism surrounding our societies today, that we can still trust in the goodness of one another. To Professor John Overton, your consistent enthusiasm and attentiveness were invaluable for an intellectual wanderer like me to finish this thesis. Thank you for being a good supervisor. To the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which supported my entire stay and postgraduate study in Wellington under the NZ ASEAN Scholarship Awards Program, thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve my country. To the staff of Victoria International and Victoria University of Wellington – School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences, thank you for your helpful assistance all throughout. To Bianca Benavidez and Tony Yung, thank you for taking the time to proofread my work. That means two people who have actually read my entire thesis! To the lovely people I met from the Development Studies program, some of whom have become really good friends, thank you for being awesome companions in exploring the profundity and foolishness of our chosen field. Let us stay crazy. And see you across the seas! To fellow Filipino NZ ASEAN scholars, thank you for creating a safe and familial space where we can share our aspirations and frustrations over our beloved Philippines. To the Philippine Embassy in New Zealand, my beautiful kababayans, and friends from different ethnicities who helped made Wellington home, maraming salamat! To my family and friends in the Philippines who, in one way or another, encouraged me by reading, sharing, and liking my posts on Facebook and even posting or sending me a message over the said social media site (haha), thank you. It’s amusing how this technology acted as a lifeline when a gazillion cups of milk tea were not enough to remind me of the warmth that is home. Lastly, to the people of Tacloban City for allowing me to talk with you about your experiences during the Super Typhoon Haiyan. Thank you for still choosing to trust and believe in the best of things despite the tragedy that was Yolanda. And yes, we will rise again. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Super Typhoon Haiyan Hits Tacloban City 1 1.2 Research Question 3 1.3 Overview of the Thesis 6 2 Disasters, Social Capital, and Social Media 8 2.1 Building Disaster-Resilient Communities 8 2.2 Social Capital: The Value of Networks 15 2.3 Social capital in Building Disaster-Resilient Communities 22 2.4 The Rise of Social Media as an Important Technology during Disasters 27 2.5 The Role of Social Media in Enhancing Social Capital during Disasters 30 2.6 Research Gap: Facebook use in the Philippines during Disasters 34 3 Tacloban City 36 3.1 From a fishing village to a highly urbanized city 36 3.2 The land of the powerful Romualdez clan 38 3.3 A population dispersed geographically and socio-politically 41 3.4 A population accustomed to typhoons 49 4 Investigating Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan 51 4.1 An approach towards understanding a typhoon-stricken Tacloban City 51 4.2 A personal perspective towards probing a political Tacloban City 54 4.3 Case Study: Examining the Facebook use and social capital of a typhoon-stricken Tacloban City 57 5 Social Capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan 72 5.1 Bonding Social Capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan 73 5.2 Bridging Social Capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan 77 5.3 Linking Social Capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan 80 5.4 Social Capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan: An Overview 85 6 Facebook Use and Social Capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan 88 6.1 Facebook relationships of selected residents of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan: “Personal is online, online is personal” 89 6.2 Facebook conversations and presence of selected residents of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan: “We’re safe and we need help” 93 6.3 Facebook identity and reputation of selected residents of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan: “Propaganda, accountability, and privilege in a political social media” 99 6.4 Facebook Use and Social Capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan: An Overview 105 iii 7 Filipino Social Psychology, Social Capital, the Facebook Use of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan 108 7.1 Kapwa or the “Shared Self”: The Foundation of Networks in Philippine Society 108 7.2 Pakiramdam or the “Shared Inner Perception”: The Foundation of Norms in Philippine Society 111 7.3 Utang na Loob: Positive and Negative Principles of Reciprocity in Philippine Society 113 7.4 Sambahayan to Sambayanan: Social Capital in a Family-Oriented Philippine State 115 7.5 Online Padrino System: Facebook Use in a Politicised and Disaster-Stricken Tacloban City 118 8 The Role of Social Media and Social Capital in Tacloban City’s Post-Haiyan Development 122 APPENDICES Appendix One – Interview and Focus Group Schedule 128 Appendix Two – Participant Information Sheet 129 Appendix Three – Participant Consent Form 130 REFERENCES 131 iv LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.

Or it is in times of disaster that the Filipino ceases to be a disaster, thinking of others first before self.” – Conrado de Quiros, Filipino columnist 1.1 Super Typhoon Haiyan Hits Tacloban City On the morning of 08 November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan, considered as the most powerful tropical cyclone in recorded human history to date (Sedghi, 2013), made its landfall in the Philippines. Its sustained winds of up to 315 kilometres per hour (Mullen, 2013) were mostly felt in the central islands of the archipelago, particularly Tacloban City. The gusts of wind were so strong that it created a wall of water as high as seven metres, much like a tsunami or a tornado carrying water (Flores, 2013). This storm surge, as identified by weather experts, was a phenomenon that this coastal city had never experienced before. As the waters speedily rose, bringing with them forceful waves, the shocked residents could only hope that whatever they were clinging onto or standing at would be strong enough to keep them alive. They were only warned of heavy rains and extremely strong winds enough to damage their houses. Yet as the storm waters waned, it was very clear that this super typhoon was more than that. With electricity and communication lines completely cut off, the city was isolated from the rest of the nation and the world.

  • Interweaving Indigenous Philippine Dance and Music and Western Classical Music for Recovery and Wellbeing
    Creative Arts Educ Ther (2017) 3(2):47–59 DOI: 10.15212/CAET/2017/3/6 Rising After the Storm: Interweaving Indigenous Philippine Dance and Music and Western Classical Music for Recovery and Wellbeing 暴风雨后的崛起：交织菲律宾本土舞蹈、音乐和西方古典音乐 以期康复和健康 Gina Alfonso Cartwheel Foundation, Philippines Abstract Long-term recovery programs for the survivors of typhoon Haiyan – as it struck the Philippines in 2013 – were inevitably characterized by a convergence of Eastern and Western approaches to health and wellness due to the sectors involved in the process. Local community volunteers and local/international non-profit organizations joined forces to offer socio-emotional support to over 100 families of Tagbanua heritage on three islands in the area of Culion, Palawan, Philippines. This paper presents the blending of Eastern and Western perspectives on post-traumatic symp- toms, on well-being and on the human condition. The combined spirit of compassion and bayani- han (a Filipino term for togetherness in common effort) shared by the relief workers and the Tagbanua is also described. Narratives about the unexpected discovery of inherent indigenous ways of coping through dance – and a therapeutic encounter that involved a dialogue between Tagbanua and Western classical music – are highlighted as examples of the interweaving of art- based healing practices from the East and West which contributed towards recovery and the restoration of health. Keywords: Psychosocial support, Filipino psychology, Typhoon Haiyan, Philippine indigenous dance, Western classical music. 摘要 关于曾在2013年袭击菲律宾的台风海燕幸存者的长期康复计划，不可避免地表现为东 西方健康和福祉方法的融合，这是由于该计划涉及了这些内容。当地社区志愿者和当 地/国际非营利组织联合向菲律宾巴拉望和库利昂地区三个岛上的100多个塔格巴努亚土 著家庭提供心理支持。本文介绍了东西方对创伤后症状、健康状况和人类状况影响的观 点，并描述了救援人员和塔格巴努亚人分享共情和Bayanihan （菲律宾语共同和协力之 意）的精神。关于通过舞蹈应对，这种固有的土著方式的意外发现以及涉及塔格巴努亚 与西方古典音乐之间对话的治疗性相遇的叙述突出显示了东西方艺术为基础的针对康复 和福祉的健康治疗实践相互交织的案例。 关键词: 心理社会支持, 菲律宾心理学, 台风海燕, 菲律宾土著舞蹈, 西方古典音乐。 Creative Arts in Education and Therapy – Eastern and Western Perspectives – Vol.

The primary goal of providing values education at all three levels of the school system in the Philippines is the development of a person committed to building a free, democratic, peaceful, and progressive nation. The program hopes to develop Filipinos who possess the following values and traits:(1) self actualization, people imbued with a sense of human dignity;(2) a sense of responsibility for community and environment, self-discipline;(3) productivity, contributory to the economic security and development of the family and nation; (4) a deepsense of nationalism, commitment to the progress of the nation and to global solidarity; and (5) an abiding faith in God and spirituality. General guidelines specify that the program must: (1) be oriented towards the whole learner; (2) consider the unique role of the family in personal development and integration into society and the nation; and (3) recognize and emphasize the role of teachers who themselves must possess a proper sense of values and respect for the person of the student.

  • Learning from Women and Children, Educ~Ting the Scholars and the Ordinary Man on the Street: the Filipino Nursery Rhymes
    LEARNING FROM WOMEN AND CHILDREN, EDUC~TING THE SCHOLARS AND THE ORDINARY MAN ON THE STREET: THE FILIPINO NURSERY RHYMES Mario L. Cuezon Filipino and Western scholars have done research on our legends, myths, fables, riddles, proverbs, songs, and epics. A handful of scholars have included nursery rhymes in their study of the folklore of a region. In the main, however, interest in the collection and/or preservation of Filipino folk nursery rhymes - lullabies, counting songs, pronunciation poetry, singing games and teasing songs - is not evident. As a result, our nursery rhymes are excluded from academic discourse. While a survey revealed that samples of nursery rhymes have been collected from among the Tagalog, Gaddang, Bicol, Blaan, Antique, MandayalMansaka, Maranao, Capiz, and Pangasinense, there is a need to gather samples of nursery rhymes from other language groups in order to compare and analyze the various rhymes, some of which may be pre­ Hispanic in origin. Why not consider the haunting l1i IIi Tulog Anay of the I1ongos as the national lullabye and some other poems as national teasing songs? If songs like Sarong Banggi of the Bicolanos, Atin Cu Pung Singsing of the Pampangos, Manang Biday and Pamulinawen of the llocanos, Dandansoy of the Cebuanos, are taught in our schools, why not lullabies, counting songs, singing games, teasing songs? But first, our scholars and teachers should learn the importance of nursery rhymes. Secondly, the rhymes have to be gathered from the children ofyesterday and the mothers and fathers of today. The nursery rhyme is a literary form we learn from women and children or from our childhood.

  • A Case Study on Bahala Na
    The Asbury Journal 75/1: 127-150 © 2020 Asbury Theological Seminary DOI: 10.7252/Journal.01.2020S.08 Yohan Hong Powerlessness and A Social Imaginary in the Philippines: A Case Study on Bahala na Abstract: This paper calls attention to the sense of powerlessness of everyday people in the Philippines, and to the missional agency of US-based Filipino Protestants for the transformation of the Philippines. This research has been a journey to discover what kind of power is in play, how the fallen powers can be named and made visible, and then ultimately the ways through which power should be restored. In this process, I referred to the voices, perceptions, stories, and insights of US-based Filipino Protestants in Texas, in order to explore the causes of powerlessness. This paper focuses on how Bahala na as a Filipino cultural value, functions at some mythic level in relation to a social imaginary in such a way to cause and perpetuate a sense of powerlessness. Furthermore, the missional agency of Filipino American Protestants has been seldom investigated in the academia of Diaspora Missiology and Intercultural Studies. This paper concludes that Filipino American Protestants have re-interpreted Bahala na in transforming ways through the power of their spiritual discipline and Protestant faith so that this paper shines light on the potentiality for them to be change agents who can help bring about the transformation in the Philippines. Keywords: Powerlessness, Social Imaginary, Bahala na, Filipino American Protestants, Diaspora Missiology Yohan Hong is a graduate from Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and senior pastor of Oxford First United Methodist Church in the North Alabama Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Doctor of Education (Education), May, 2019, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. The core of this narrative inquiry is the kuwento, story, of eight Filipino American community college students (FACCS) in the southern part of the United States. Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) three-dimension inquiry space—inwards, outwards, backwards, and forwards—provided a space for the characters, Bunny, Geralt, Jay, Justin, Ramona, Rosalinda, Steve, and Vivienne, to reflect upon their educational, career, and life experiences as a Filipino American. The character’s stories are delivered in a long, uninterrupted kuwento, encouraging critical discourse around their Filipino American identity development and educational struggles as a minoritized student in higher education.

  • Critical Research in Philippine Community Psychology
    Critical Research in Philippine Community Psychology Ma. Nancy B. Florendo University of the Philippines Baguio Tala Aurora T. Salinas-Ramos University of the Philippines Baguio Maria Cecilia R. San Luis University of the Philippines Baguio Abstract This paper examines the elements of community psychology as reflected in critical psychology in researches published in the Philippine Journal of Psychology, during the past 40 years. As Filipino psychologists have continually asked the question about what they want to do as a discipline, the studies were examined historically, tracing the development of the themes of psychological studies. Research outputs reflected vigorous efforts to build theory, methods and analytical tools in the different areas specifically in Social Psychology and Personality, Developmental Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Organizational/Industrial Psychology and Political Psychology. Their postural practice has allowed an outward look at making a conscious effort of accommodating the social context of individual situations and locations. The practice of critical contemporary psychology in the Philippines can be considered as still limited, but growing and continues to face the challenge of praxis. In the early years of their practice, the approach to which the psychologists are partial to limited the potential of making their researches action-oriented. Through time, the way Filipino psychologists go out of their institutions and engaged in researches spawned by socio, political and ecological disruptions do now tell us that they have picked up the call for action to bring about change in the everyday lives of people, in their own communities.
