Its causes are systemic, often intertwined and span time. It is rooted in the past, exists in the present and is imminent in risks that have yet to arise. Poverty goes beyond external risks, such as material deprivation, poor governance, inequality and unfair markets, and includes internal risks, such as humiliation, lack of voice and confidence, powerlessness and physical weaknesses. At its core are the lack or misuse of power and unequal power relations within and among countries, groups and individuals. For Christian Aid, therefore, ‘poverty is disempowerment and the injustices that result [from it].’1 The nature of risks varies. Risks may be short-term or long-term; hidden or visible; sudden or slowly unfolding. They also differ across ecosystems. The risks faced by small islands may not necessarily be the same as those confronting uplands and urban areas. New risks emerge, while present risks constantly evolve as these interact with one another. Risks affect vulnerable communities and individuals in various ways, but the hardest hit are the most vulnerable, including indigenous communities, the marginalised urban poor and upland communities living in remote areas with distinct vulnerabilities. The Philippines reflects the complexity of a multi-risk environment. It is exposed to multiple natural and physical hazards, as it lies just above the equator along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where many of the earth’s typhoons, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. Systemic and internal risks also pose a threat to the development of its people. Centuries-old conflict in the southern Philippines between Moro (Muslims and indigenous people) and other faiths has marginalised the Moro and embedded feelings of resentment and isolation among them. Unfair market policies and lack of confidence have prevented small-scale Philippine producers from actively participating in the market and claiming their fair share of its benefits. The government’s push for corporate-led development of target economic investment areas and the powerlessness of indigenous communities to protect their ancestral domain jeopardise the country’s remaining farmlands and forestlands. Powerful elites continue to have a stronghold over national policies and decision-making spaces, stifling grassroots voices and limiting their opportunities to participate and influence these spaces. The usual response of poor people to these risks revolves around survival or subsistence, especially since they have limited or no options, voice and opportunities to address the threats they are facing and reduce their vulnerability. Others have become resigned to their situation, lacking hope that their lives will improve, especially when they have been embroiled in a long history of neglect and abuse. The uncertainties arising from past, present and future threats increase the urgency to put an end to power imbalances and transform structures, systems and internal vulnerabilities that continue to disempower poor people. Thus, ‘the question is no longer whether change is needed but what form that change must take.’2 Achieving such power transformation necessitates an approach that aims to help poor communities not only survive and subsist but also thrive. It involves empowering communities to be resilient to the risks brought about by a changing and challenging environment. This approach is not merely confined to building assets and diversifying income but further seeks to address external and internal causes of poverty and dynamic shocks and stress from the environment. 5 Building resilient communities entails a convergence of approaches that goes beyond disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation to include community organising, livelihoods development, gender equality and accountable governance. Solely focusing on disaster preparedness is not sufficient to reduce people’s vulnerability to more systemic political, social and economic risks. In the same way, development work assumes that poverty occurs in a fixed setting and is therefore unable to anticipate changes brought about by hazards. In short, ‘promoting an insecure livelihood is no better than protecting an inadequate one.’3 Christian Aid blends all of these strategies in its resilient livelihoods framework, which is intended to guide vulnerable communities, as well as the organisations working with them, in understanding and managing the risks they are facing and finding ways to adapt to a seemingly unstable environment. A resilient livelihood, therefore, is ‘one that enables people to anticipate, organise for, and adapt to, change.’4 To achieve this, poor communities should be able to transform the way they make a living into one that could withstand the effects of uncertainties and risks, both known and unknown. They must have options and safeguards that allow them to adapt and maximise opportunities to improve their lives and reduce their vulnerability to shocks. A family that is dependent mainly on farming for income is easily weakened by pressures from drought and extreme, unpredictable weather changes unless it has crop insurance from government, support groups to provide technical inputs, or savings to invest in crop protection from hazards. Spare assets or ‘buffers’ are important, whether they are tangible, such as organic farming inputs and savings, or intangible, such as broad social capital, good health and strong self- identity, making the people better equipped to recover from the impact and adapt to their new environment. Vulnerable communities must also have a plan that takes into account anticipated threats, enabling them to

  • From Ideas to Action: a Review of Implementing HELP Principles in River Basins with Limited Resources and Capacity
    From ideas to action: A review of implementing HELP principles in river basins with limited resources and capacity# Declan Hearne1* , Ruth Gamboa2 and Verna Marie Monsanto2 1 HELP Davao, 248 Arayat St., Central Park Phase I, Bangkal, Davao City, Philippines 2 The University of Philippines, Davao, Mindanao, Philippines Abstract Davao City is overlapped by 8 watersheds all flowing into the Davao Gulf. These watersheds exemplify a range of cultural, environmental and economic stresses from the continual conversion of natural habitat for agricultural, urban, and industrial uses. These changes and their consequent pressures have not gone unnoticed and have surfaced through various channels into the political and public arenas. However, despite the awareness and actions from various sectoral initiatives, there is continual deterioration of trends across the ecosystems. Hydrology for Environment, Life and Policy (HELP) is a global initiative which encourages policy makers, water man- agers, scientists, and end-users to work together within a field-oriented context to closely integrate science into government policies and management strategies. Through Davao City’s participation in the HELP Network, the management of water- sheds and water has improved not through the acquisition of additional external funds but by the increase in opportunity for dialogue between ‘water-related’ communities, which resulted to enhanced stakeholder understanding of issues and increased technical capacity of all involved. This paper demonstrates how the HELP principles can be applied in basins with limited resources and how these can posi- tively influence the attitudes and behaviour of stakeholders. It highlights how HELP can act as a catalyst to motivate learning, engage competing sectors, and build collaboration to create science-backed frameworks for good water governance.

    W E L C O M E P R I M E R ATENEO INTERNATIONALIZATION FOR MINDANAO OFFICE Ateneo de Davao University Southern Mindanao, Philippines MADAYAW NGA PAG-ABOT SA DAKBAYAN SA DABAW! Welcome to Davao City! D A V A O C I T Y The city’s name was derived as a result of the phonetic blending of the words “daba daba”, “davuh”, and “dawow” from three Bagobo sub-groups. The word means “beyond higher grounds.” This pertains to the location of Davao River, a major body of water that served as a trading settlement and site of the Kadayawan Festival’s “Subang Sinugdanan” which literally means “the river where it all started.” Davao City is one of the highly urbanized cities in Mindanao, Philippines. The city serves as the main trade, commerce, and industry hub of Mindanao, and the regional center of Davao Region. According to the City Government of Davao, there is an increased tourist arrivals by 25.13% in January to June 2018. The Davao Region’s tourism grew by 26% with a reported number of 2.2 million tourist arrivals in the first half of 2019. At present, Davao City has international direct links with Singapore, Hong Kong, Quanzhou, China, Qatar, and Manado, Indonesia. Aside from tourist destinations in both land and water forms, various festivals of the Mindanaoans are also a reason why tourists visit the region. The Kadayawan Festival is celebrated annually by the Davaoeños every August. The festival invites not just the locals, but even visitors from different parts of the world to join in the festivities prepared to celebrate life and give thanks for the bountiful harvest.

  • 7 Other Urban Infrastructure and Services
    Davao City Infrastructure Development Plan and Capacity Building Project FINAL REPORT PART I Chapter 7 Other Urban Infrastructure and Services 7 OTHER URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES 7.1 Overall 7.1 This chapter describes the overall service availability for public services such as water supply, wastewater management, and solid waste management. It also intends to elaborate on the results of the Household Interview Survey (HIS), conducted in March 2017, which contains the citizens' perceptions on these basic urban services. The HIS had approximately 2,000 samples which represent approximately 10 households per barangay. Since the rural barangay exceeds to urban as 103 against 78, the samples are biased to rural population. Accordingly, the number of sample households of HIS served by DCWD is merely 43.6% while, 60% of population was served in the City based on DCWD data. 1) Water Supply 7.2 Approximately 40% of the population is not within the water supply service area of Davao City Water District (DCWD), the main provider of potable water in Davao City. Out of the 40%, some areas are serviced by the Barangay Water and Sanitation Authority (BAWASA). 7.3 DCWD connection makes up 50 %, and BAWASA or Association in Barangay makes up 25% and public faucet, own well, rainwater storage and etc. make up 20% and other makes up 10% of all water source in Davao city. Based on the table above most supplied water by DCWD and BAWASA and Association I Barangay is used for the all purposes except for drinking. Bottled water is used for drinking in the houses supplied water by DCWD and BAWASA and Association in Barangay.
