A Comparative Ethnographic Case Study of Water Governance and Security in the Highlands of Kalinga, Philippines Thirsting for Recognition: A Comparative Ethnographic Case Study of Water Governance and Security in the Highlands of Kalinga, Philippines Mémoire Karen Bouchard Maîtrise en Anthropologie Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Karen Bouchard, 2017 Thirsting for Recognition: A Comparative Ethnographic Case Study of Water Governance and Security in the Highlands of Kalinga, Philippines Mémoire Karen Bouchard Sous la direction de : Jean Michaud, directeur de recherche ii Résumé Basé sur une recherche ethnographique de neuf mois, ce mémoire présente une étude comparative des incertitudes, risques et vulnérabilités vécues à l’ère d’instabilités environnementales et climatiques aux Philippines, ainsi qu’aux enjeux contemporains liés à la sécurité ainsi qu’à la gouvernance de l’eau dans les hautes terres de Kalinga, une province située dans la région administrative de la Cordillère au nord de l’île de Luçon. Divulguant, pour ce faire, les fondements et les opérations du gouvernement coutumier de l’eau d’irrigation, cette étude souligne les fondements intrinsèquement politiques de la disponibilité et de l’accessibilité de l’eau comme ressource, ainsi que pour la protection des droits autochtones et le développement des ressources naturelles. Mots-clés : gouvernance et sécurité de l’eau, modalités et processus de gestion coutumière de l’eau d’irrigation, droits et savoirs autochtones, Kalinga, Philippines. iii Abstract Based on a nine-month ethnographic research conducted in 2015 and 2016 amongst three indigenous communities of the Kalinga highlands, a province and ancestral domain located in the Cordillera Administrative Region of Northern Luzon (Philippines), this comparative academic study examines the local experiences and responses to contemporary threats to safe and sufficient supplies of irrigation water. It further provides a detailed account of the constitution and functions of prevailing customary water governance systems and practices. This study, thus, defends the need to correlate water security to governance, whilst insisting upon the importance of articulating preventive and responsive policies and interventions with local contexts and conditions. Keywords : water governance, water security, customary water governance systems and practices, indigenous knowledge, Kalinga, Philippines. iv Table of Contents Résumé ............................................................................................................................................ iii Abstract............................................................................................................................................ iv Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ v List of Figures .............................................................................................................................. viii Glossary ........................................................................................................................................... ix Abbreviations ............................................................................................................................... xii Acknowledgements ..................................................................................................................... xiv Thirsting for Recognition: A Comparative Ethnographic Case Study of Water Governance and Security in the Highlands of Kalinga, Philippines .................................. 1 1.

  • Pasil Survey Report, Kalinga Province
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2015-018 Pasil Survey Report, Kalinga Province Ryn Jean Fe Gonzales Pasil Survey Report, Kalinga Province Ryn Jean Fe Gonzales SIL International® 2015 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2015-018, December 2015 © 2015 SIL International® All rights reserved Abstract Pasil is one of the eight municipalities of Kalinga province in the northern Philippines. It has 14 villages or barangays that are grouped into seven subtribes who each speak their own variety of Pinasil, the collective name for the language spoken in Pasil. The sociolinguistic survey conducted in the area investigated the extensibility of materials in Lubuagan, a related variety, and the possibility of language development in a variety of Pinasil if Lubuagan is not acceptable. The survey team used four different sets of questionnaires, participatory tools, and a modified recorded text test (RTT) to gather data on language relatedness, attitudes, and language vitality. It was very clear that Lubuagan materials would not be extensible to Pasil. Although Lubuagan has high lexical similarity with Pasil, the people consider it as a different language and would rather have materials in Pinasil. The level of vitality of Pinasil based on the EGIDS is 6a, vigorous. The current status of the language will be able to sustain its current use or even a higher level of use especially in education, health, and other bodies of knowledge should the community decide to pursue a community- based language development.

    Resisting large-scale mining The struggle against a large-scale mining company by the Guinaang tribe in Northern Luzon, the Philippines Master thesis International Development Studies Anton Neefjes Resisting large-scale mining The struggle against a large-scale mining company by the Guinaang tribe in Northern Luzon, the Philippines Anton Neefjes Student number: 910412597120 [email protected] MSc Thesis International Development Studies (MID) Department of Sociology of Development and Change Thesis code: SDC-80433 Wageningen University, January 2016 In cooperation with: the Center for Development Programs in the Cordillera (CDPC) Supervised by: dr. Elisabet Dueholm Rasch Abstract In resistance studies on resource conflict little attention has been paid to the micro-political ecology of resistance. This study addresses this gap by looking at a mining struggle carried out by an indigenous tribe in the mountains of the Cordillera, the Philippines, through a micro-political framework. The resistance carried out by members of the tribe is aimed at a large-scale gold and copper mining company. The form of resistance is that of rightful resistance. In brief, ‘rightful resistance’ means that people use the official legal and political channels of the government to make their claims (Li and O’Brien 1996). They use state power to combat corrupt government officials. This case study looks at how rightful resistance has successfully been used by members of the Guinaang tribe in preventing the Makilala mining company to mine in their place of residence. In particular, this study has analysed how the livelihood strategies of the people have influenced the way the people have engaged with the company.

  • Contesting Land and Identity in the Periphery: the Moro Indigenous People of Southern Philippines*
    Contesting Land and Identity In The Periphery: The Moro Indigenous * People of Southern Philippines MYRTHENA L. FIANZA Department of Political Studies Mindanao State University (Main campus, Marawi) Philippines INTRODUCTION Over the past decades, the resurgence of intergroup conflict in the Philippines has led to a significant current in the direction of ethnicity and identity in the study of land tenure problems where the post-colonial state is involved, particularly in land use and resource allocation among indigenous communities. In the Philippine contemporary tenure situation, it is necessary to look at other categories or identities to understand how social unrest has been catalyzed in other areas of the country, as state action and politics in the center are also presently being shaped, more than ever before, by the demands of ethnicity or indigenous voices at the fringe or periphery. This course leads to approaching conflicts as rooted to the land question triggered by the issue of equitable access to land and resources or rights to a territory that contesting groups view should be acquired or reclaimed not solely on the basis of economic rights to private property in the Western liberal sense, or from a more progressive standpoint of redistributive (“land to the tiller”) reform, but as a determinant of the survival of a community and their culture, the basis of their identity as a people. The study proceeds from the perspective that views land as “tied up with the very ethnicity of indigenous peoples, inasmuch as their distinct cultures have developed in interaction with and in adaptation to specific environments” (Cariňo,1994: 5).

However, in Southeast Asian studies, less work has been committed to understanding the cultural politics of government-sponsored education in the context of colonialism, nation building, and/or modernity. Within this body of literature, few scholars have sought to . .... examine the state school in cases where it has' been challenged, questioned, or resisted. Additionally, there is a persisting. tendency to. observe the development of modem education from the perspective of the center, majority, and elite, consequently paying , " scant attention to the making of the margins and the historical experiences unique to their schooling environments.,. Therefore, based on arcIiival research and preliminary fieldwork, this thesis aims to explore the cultural, political, and historical contexts of modern education through two case studies: the first in southern Thailand and the second in the southern Philippines.
