Gender, Social Capital, and Well-Being in Disaster- Prone Communities in the Philippine
This paper examines how gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and environmental vulnerability of places of residence structure the social capital/trust networks (SC/TN) and well-being of men and women in disaster-prone communities across Metro Manila, Philippines. This study argues that the social vulnerability (i.e., low SES) of both men and women shapes their social well-being. However, this relationship is mediated by their SC/ TNs within and be…
Conceptualising and enacting pathways to transformative climate justice
Scholarship on climate change adaptation is increasingly moving from incremental responses to climate injustice towards transformative approaches that deliberately change systems to achieve just and equitable outcomes.A transformative understanding of climate justice is relatively new and evidence of how this could be achieved is in its infancy.In this paper, we conceptualise transformative climate justice as comprised of three subcomponents: (1)…

Metro Manila is the largest urban agglomeration and the Philippines' primary engine of growth, accounting for 37 percent of the country's gross domestic product. The physical and social geography of this coastal megacity make it highly exposed and vulnerable to climate‐ and environment‐related hazards like tropical cyclones, floods, and sea‐level rise as well as earthquakes and landslides. Since the late 1990s, the metropolis has undergone rapid …

Barangay , known as balangai during the precolonial period, is currently the lowest political administrative unit of the Philippine government. Started as a form of village governance by local chieftains known as datus or rajahs , barangay governance struggled through the colonial Spanish period (when barangays were renamed barrios ) and the American era (when they were known as rural councils). In the postcolonial period it struggled with the hi…

Sustainable development goals and quality of life targets
This article examines three frameworks utilized in assessing quality of life (QOL) and sustainability, namely, (1) the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), (2) the United Nations Commission for Sustainable Development (UNCSD) framework for sustainable development, and the (3) Livable Cities Indicators (LCIs). The study assesses the efficiency, relevance/appropriateness, and effectiveness of these frameworks in assessing the quality of urban life …
Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation in Metro Manila
Climate change and flooding in Asian cities pose great challenges to the environmental and human security of the population and their governance systems. This paper examines the intersections of ecological-environmental and social vulnerability and the adaptive responses of urban poor communities and commercial-industrial establishments in Metro Manila to floods and other climate change-related effects, such as storm surges and sea-level rise (SL…
Decentralisation, Power and Networked Governance Practices in Metro Manila
The institutionalisation of decentralisation among urban local governments in the Philippines since the 1990s has been highly documented. While most of the studies have hailed its progressive development, a few have argued that decentralisation has also led to the further entrenchment of traditional élites and their allied power structures in local governance. This paper argues that, while decentralisation has allowed some local governments to in…
Vulnerability, Adaptation, and Resilience to Floods and Climate Change-Related Risks among Marginal, Riverine Communities in Metro Manila
Shifting spaces of power in Metro Manila
In this paper, the author argues that to preserve their primacy and dominance, national capitals construct and assert representations and projects of power before the nation and the world. Metro Manila or the national capital region (NCR) serves as the major locus and staging area of capital building strategies and assertions by the state and elite power as well as by the resistance of subaltern groups. The ways that flows of transnational capita…

Urban Poor Communities in State-Civil Society Dynamics
Life Paths of Urban Children and Youth in Comparative Perspective
The life paths of young boys and girls and their families in cities in the Philippines, India, Brazil, Kenya and Italy provide a first analysis, often in the children's own words, of the multiple overlapping crises that lead them to situations of distress. Such situations include running away to live in the streets and/or progressively falling into high risk behavior, such as dropping out of school, abusing different kinds of substances, engaging…
