Torres As long as there is life on earth, every living thing is in a state of flux: growing, decaying, or dying; adapting, transforming, or mutating. Changes do not only occur in the physical universe; it is also evident in human society and its various organizations. Culture, norms, and values; social structures, interpersonal relationships and lifestyles; language and communication; philosophical and practical knowledge; power, authority, and governance; production, wealth and the economy, are among the factors in human life that are in constant flux. Changes in society can be examined from different angles. One approach has been to examine changes and continuities in terms of generations, taking into acount the defining characteristics of a set of individuals within a given period. The concept of generations is nuanced: it can be used to refer to kinship ties, bound by the average period between the birth of parents and the birth of their offspring. It has also been used to refer to particular age groups, or cohorts, who share certain historical and social characteristics (Biggs, 2007; Pilcher, 1994). However, there is a close overlap between the two definitions: it is difficult to study the shared characteristics of age cohorts without also considering the phenomenon of adult aging and intergenerational relationships (Biggs, 2007). In their study of Palaweños, Posadas, and Fernandez cite Bronfenbrenner (2005), who points out that each generation lives in a specific time dimension where attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are influenced by various internal and external factors, from supposedly innate traits to familial, societal, cultural, and historical forces. Among these factors are globalization, individualism, consumerism, modernization, and technology. They bring changes in human development, and contribute to the formation and evolution of individual goals within and across generations. These assertions are well-illustrated in the keynote message of David, who gives a thoughtful account of the angst and dilemmas faced by his children, as they entered the world of adulthood as the offspring of well-known personalities. Each one had to devise a strategy to assert their own identities, and to be respected for themselves and not merely in association with their parents. In an entirely different context, Bawagan recounts the struggle between generations of Mangyans, as viii ⎮ Filipino Generations in a Changing Landscape they negotiate their identities in relation to changing influences on their lives. These factors include access to formal education, acquisition of lifelong learning skills, increased interactions with lowlanders for work and other concerns, new forms and relations of production, and the neglect of traditional practices in favor of ‘modern’ expectations and aspirations. Apart from examining intergenerational relationships, the articles in this volume provide useful insights into the following processes of social change: continuities and discontinuities; adaptations and transformations; and new beginnings. CONTINUITIES AND DISCONTINUITIES Two studies on the Filipino Chinese demonstrate the range of methodological possibilities in the study of generations. Both Boncan and the tandem of Doblado and Evangelista used family history to trace continuities and discontinuities across generations. However, whereas Boncan focused on intergenerational changes experienced by one Chinese family from Spanish colonial times to the present, Doblado and Evangelista tell the story of four pioneering Chinese families in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, from the late 19th century to the contemporary period. Boncan’s account provide detailed descriptions of Binondo, and enables us to travel back in time through its streets, houses, commerce and landscapes. One is surprised to find out who the original residents of Binondo were; which include Chinese families who remain prominent today, and also well-known Spanish mestizos. Commerce defined Binondo in yesteryears, and this remains the “signature stamp” of the place, multiplied a hundred fold in terms of volume of trade and earnings. But we are saddened to learn that Binondo’s narrow streets, jampacked with vehicles today, have replaced spaces formerly occupied by picturesque and tree-lined plazas. The streets, mostly renamed in recent decades, also tell us who the more important families of Binondo are today. Doblado and Evangelista’s account of the Tsinoy of Puerto Princesa dwells more on the families’ movements, especially as they constantly traversed the distance between their former villages in China and Palawan. It describes how the choice of wives changed across generations: from selecting Chinese women from the mainland in earlier generations, to marriages with Filipino women in the present generation. They also describe the evolving identities of the Chinese, from that of being jiuquiao (a migrant), to being Chinese mestizos, to becoming assimilated as Filipinos. Similarly, Boncan describes the assimilation of the family of Ygnacio Jaobungcang into Philippine society, so that they no longer thought of themselves as foreigners but as “sons of the country.” Introduction ⎮ ix Conversion to Christianity was one factor that hastened the assimilation of Chinese families into Philippine lifeways. Children were educated in Catholic schools, entered the professions, engaged in business, or became political leaders. Through baptism and generational change, the names of the Chinese clans also became Filipinized. Doblado and Evangelista conclude that despite the inroads of cultural change, core Chinese values have remained unchanged in the clans they studied. Among these is the importance of close family ties. But it is not only the Filipino Chinese who place importance on the family. Sumagaysay relates that among the more common push factors for migration is the desire to help the family – by helping their families to overcome financial difficulties, through the provision of educational assistance, or by becoming family breadwinners. Very few said they wanted to work abroad for their personal advancement. The continuing centrality of the family in Philippine society is likewise described by Ignacio in his study of a gated community. Middle-class respondents stated that they

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.
