Abstract This paper contributes to the scant body of literature on inequalities among and within ethnic groups in the Philippines by examining both the vertical and horizontal measures in terms of opportunities in accessing basic services such as education, electricity, safe water, and sanitation. The study also provides a glimpse of the patterns of inequality in Mindanao. The results show that there are significant inequalities in opportunities in accessing basic services within and among ethnic groups in the Philippines. -
Stereotypes That Divide, Transformations That Can Unite by Mary Kathleen S
Stereotypes that Divide, Transformations that can Unite by Mary Kathleen S. Bueza & Si! i Rhaihan K. Malik 3333 How do Tausugs, Bisayas, and Badjaos view each other? In the South of the Philippines, in between Tawi-tawi and Basilan, the province of Sulu is land to these three groups. In our aim to contribute to peacebuilding in Mindanao, we looked at the a! itudes of these three groups to each other. Our study found that Tausugs, Bisayas, and Badjaos generally have positive a! itudes toward each other, with Bisayas seen most positively. However, negative stereotypes persist about Tausugs and Badjaos. How can these stereotypes be transformed towards building peace in Sulu? A Background on Sulu " e Sulu archipelago boasts beautiful islands that form a continuous chain in the southern Philippines. It is located halfway between the Zamboanga Peninsula and the island province of Tawi-Tawi. Its major islands are Jolo, Siasi, and Tawi-Tawi (Teo, 1989). According to the 2007 Census of the Population, the province of Sulu has a total population of 849,670, with 140,307 people living in Jolo, the provincial capital. " e name Sulu came from the Malayan word Suluk, meaning current, as it is surrounded by the Sulu Sea in the northeast and the Celebes Sea in the southeast. " e natives call it Lupa Sug, meaning Land of the Current. Its capital, Jolo, is called by the locals as Tiyanggi Sug or simply Tiyanggi, meaning market. Islam is entrenched in the history of Sulu and its natives, the Tausugs. It was Sayeed Abubakar, an Arabian missionary from Johore, Malaysia, who became the Sultan of Sulu in the 13th century and proclaimed Islam as the o# cial political and social institution of the sultanate. -
