That other pandemic
This survey and analysis of accounts from different countries show how the initial global decline of Covid-19 has been shadowed by the prolongation of instrumental usages of the pandemic that threatens to impede, or even reverse the restoration of societal functioning. This is especially true in cities, where government action upon dense populations is more visible and likely to be felt by citizens. By comparing and categorizing such instrumental…
Street vending and co-production
The COVID-19 global pandemic has prompted governments to resort to or allow quasi-formal means to provide basic goods and services to communities that were forced into quarantine. We analyze how grassroots self-help strategies interact with the adaptation mechanisms of formal governance under crisis conditions. Drawing on empirical insights in Manila (Philippines) and Hanoi (Vietnam), we examine the practices that have enabled street vendors in t…
Locating the Filipino as Malay
In Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, and Indonesia, being Malay usually means being a practitioner of Islam and a speaker of standard Bahasa. However, such understandings no longer comprehend other members of the so-called brown-skinned race who were once united with the Malay aggrupation: numerous Filipinos (and East Timorese), who inhabit the same broad geopolitical region. Challenging the recent narrowly defined conceptions of who is, or was Malay,…
Street Vendors, their Contested Spaces, and the Policy Environment
In developing states of Southeast Asia, street vendors play a significant but frequently unappreciated role in both the vibrancy of public spaces as well as the informal economy. Yet, they are subject to indiscriminate purges from sidewalks and other contested territories, which they occupy for lack of provision of spaces in which they could otherwise do business. But such occurrences, and the conflicts that may follow, can be addressed by revisi…
Fields of Gold
Development planning, generation of revenues and land use controls have been among the powers devolved to local officials by the 1991 Local Government Code (LGC) of the Philippines, which many local government units have learned to use for the benefit of their constituents, despite lingering habits of relying on the central government. This study seeks first to describe the physical and institutional manifestations of decentralisation in Tarlac, …
The Billboardization of Metro Manila
Metropolitan Manila, a major Southeast‐Asian conurbation, has become increasingly unsightly due to the poorly‐regulated proliferation of billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising that threaten to distract, if not overwhelm, motorists, commuters and pedestrians. Field research however, reveals land use patterns in the seemingly wanton sprawl, as well as little‐known stakeholders whose network drives the advertising industry. With the curre…
Reaching across the Mekong
Following trade agreements between ASEAN states, the expansion of cross-border roads and bridges between Laos and Thailand has linked local communities and distant markets in increasingly diverse ways. Although the planned impacts of such integration are expected to be beneficial, effects on the ground vary, as witnessed at a sleepy outpost in Xayabury and a more vibrant crossing in Savannakhet. This paper discusses first the physical setting of …
