  • Diaspora Philanthropy: the Philippine Experience
    Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience ______________________________________________________________________ Victoria P. Garchitorena President The Ayala Foundation, Inc. May 2007 _________________________________________ Prepared for The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. and The Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University Supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ____________________________________________ Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience I . The Philippine Diaspora Major Waves of Migration The Philippines is a country with a long and vibrant history of emigration. In 2006 the country celebrated the centennial of the first surge of Filipinos to the United States in the very early 20th Century. Since then, there have been three somewhat distinct waves of migration. The first wave began when sugar workers from the Ilocos Region in Northern Philippines went to work for the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association in 1906 and continued through 1929. Even today, an overwhelming majority of the Filipinos in Hawaii are from the Ilocos Region. After a union strike in 1924, many Filipinos were banned in Hawaii and migrant labor shifted to the U.S. mainland (Vera Cruz 1994). Thousands of Filipino farm workers sailed to California and other states. Between 1906 and 1930 there were 120,000 Filipinos working in the United States. The Filipinos were at a great advantage because, as residents of an American colony, they were regarded as U.S. nationals. However, with the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, which officially proclaimed Philippine independence from U.S. rule, all Filipinos in the United States were reclassified as aliens. The Great Depression of 1929 slowed Filipino migration to the United States, and Filipinos sought jobs in other parts of the world.

  • Their Nexus in Gawad Kalinga Communities of the Philippines
    TOURISM, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION: THEIR NEXUS IN GAWAD KALINGA COMMUNITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES Rowena Santos Delgado Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2014 Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Dedication To travellers around the world, especially those who visited the Philippines and helped its people. Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between tourism and housing in the development of poor communities in the Philippines, arguing that tourism can be made more sustainable when a participatory approach to housing delivery is integrated in plans and policies for tourism development. Although the centrality of community participation in the sustainability of tourism has been established in existing research, participatory housing processes were not overtly incorporated as an essential component in tourism. Literature on sustainable tourism lacks an exploration of participatory housing processes in addressing problems that develop from mass tourism such as social displacement and alienation. Utilising social capital as theoretical framework, this thesis investigates how community participation in housing influences their capacity to participate in the sustainability of tourism. To demonstrate the relationship between participatory housing and sustainable tourism with particular focus on poor communities located in tourism regions, a case study on the bayanihan approach to housing provision by the Gawad Kalinga Community Development (GK) organisation in the Philippines was undertaken. Bayanihan, which is a traditional practice of participation motivated by philanthropy and nationalism, has been employed by GK in the simultaneous building of new communities and also the development of tourism.

    2nd Quarterly Report – January to March 2008 Philippine Sanitation Alliance 2nd Quarterly Report January to March 2008 Prepared by AECOM International Development for USAID/Philippines under Cooperative Agreement No. 492-A-00-07-00023-00 I. Executive Summary The main activities of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Philippine Sanitation Alliance (PSA) project during the quarter were conducting two of the four city stakeholders’ consultation and planning workshops in and the service providers’ trainings. The stakeholders’ workshops were held in Zamboanga City and Santa Rosa City. Both workshops were well attended and well received by the participants. The service providers’ training was met with much interest from the invited private sector companies despite their busy schedules. A highlight of the quarter was the PSA’s participation in the International Year of Sanitation (IYS) 2008 national launch in Mandaluyong City. The event was attended by PSA alliance partners and management staff. The IYS launch kicked off a year of national and local events spearheaded and organized by members of the Philippine Ecological Sanitation Network, which is lead by national agency partner Department of Health. The project also followed up with the six LINAW cities on development and completion of short- term projects and sharing of information with nearby municipalities. Manjuyog, a municipality near Dumaguete City, replicated the wastewater treatment plant for the public market, a project that cost P1.7 million and was designed by PSA partner Basic Needs Services/Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association (BNS/BORDA). II. Performance Objectives and Expected Outputs The project is on track to meet the results targets for FY08 (see the table below).

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Poverty Targeting: Money Attitudes and Behaviours of Women in the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” (GK – Give Care) communities A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy At Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand Gilda Arawiran – Ramirez 2011 ABSTRACT The reduction of high poverty incidence in the Philippines is a major governance objective. Poverty targeting is a strategy to identify the factors that will help the poor raise themselves from poverty. The money attitudes and behaviours of the women of the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” showed aspects of their financial consciousness and awareness that requires, individual control and discipline, community support and policy intervention. The money attitudes and behaviours of the women in the visited communities were looked into to unveil the impact on poverty. The main research question is whether money attitudes and behaviours are poverty traps. The individual money capabilities were correlated to the workings and failures of the market and the institutions which are interconnected in the poverty problem. The research method was qualitative in nature. It was based on the interviews of 30 individuals, women residents and volunteers, of the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” communities. The individual anecdotes disclosed opinions, attitudes, beliefs, sentiments, and emotions on their daily money struggles. The profile of the money attitudes and behaviours of the interviewees was used to determine the weaknesses that will entrap individuals in poverty.
