Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
http://philippinestudies.net/ojs/index.php/ps
<em></em><p><em>Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints</em> is an internationally refereed journal that publishes scholarly articles and other materials on the history of the Philippines and its peoples, both in the homeland and overseas.</p><p>It believes the past is illuminated by historians as well as scholars from other disciplines; at the same time, it prefers ethnographic approaches to the history of the present. It welcomes works that are theoretically informed but not encumbered by jargon. It promotes a comparative and transnational sensibility, and seeks to engage scholars who may not be specialists on the Philippines. Founded in 1953 as <em>Philippine Studies</em>, the journal<em> </em>is published quarterly by the Ateneo de Manila University.</p>Ateneo de Manila Universityen-USPhilippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints2244-1093Reframing Disaster Justice: Conceptual Provocations, Practical Insights, and Research Directions
http://philippinestudies.net/ojs/index.php/ps/article/view/5218
<p>As we articulated in the introduction to the first installment of this two-part special issue, our aim is to offer a space that provokes a reflection and articulation of disaster justice praxis to generate conceptual, empirical, and practical insights across various Philippine contexts. In this second installment, we present several thematic threads emerging from the three research articles and the reflective conversations with disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) practitioners. These themes include (1) enriching disaster justice praxis and tackling issues around “justice gaps”; (2) interrogating initiatives to “shift the power” and localize DRRM interventions; and (3) revisiting the role of academia in promoting disaster justice and charting research directions. Besides reaffirming the ethical, political, and cultural imperatives of disaster governance, the intricate weave of these analytical strands reveals the importance of broadening the conceptual horizon of disaster justice to foreground the emotional, epistemological, and intersectional dimensions of “justice gaps” in various disaster contexts.</p>KEYWORDS: DISASTER JUSTICE • CARE • PLACE-BASED KNOWLEDGES • EMPATHY • LOCALIZATIONRedento B.

http://philippinestudies.net/ojs/index.php/ps/article/view/5220
In the Philippines women are increasingly recognized for their crucial roles in disaster recovery. While not against participation per se, this article troubles assumptions tied to women’s participation, which are based on constructions of women’s altruism and care responsibilities. Drawing from a qualitative case study in post-Yolanda Tacloban, it contends that instrumentalizing women’s care-based practices in disasters may inadvertently worsen gender inequalities. To achieve gender justice in recovery, the article advocates addressing the confinement of care to women and emphasizes integrating an ethics of care into disaster justice frameworks to combat pervasive injustices that contribute to gendered vulnerabilities during disasters.<br /><br />KEYWORDS: DISASTER JUSTICE • ETHICS OF CARE • FEMINIZATION OF RESPONSIBILITY • DISASTER RECOVERY • SUPER TYPHOON YOLANDAKaira Zoe Alburo-Cañete2024-03-262024-03-2672Knowledges Integration in Philippine Policies for Disaster and Climate Change Management: A Critical Policy Analysis
http://philippinestudies.net/ojs/index.php/ps/article/view/5221
This article interrogates knowledges inclusion and integration in the Philippines’ policies for disaster and climate change management. Through the lens of cognitive justice, the research refracts the critical facilities of disaster justice to locate processes that marginalize knowledges in policy texts. It illustrates that place-based knowledges are silenced and rendered inferior to “science” in the grammar of policies, thereby delimiting the degree of engagement of alternative perspectives to governance. The article concludes that disaster justice remains elusive given the enduring underrepresentation of place-based knowledges, voices, and agencies for disaster management in official policy discourses.<br /><br />KEYWORDS: COGNITIVE JUSTICE • HIERARCHIZATION • MARGINALIZATION • DISASTER JUSTICE • POLICY ANALYSISLiberty Pascua de Rivera2024-03-262024-03-2672Invoking “Indigenous Circumstances” in Disaster Governance Implications for Disaster Justice
http://philippinestudies.net/ojs/index.php/ps/article/view/5222
In 2010 the Philippine government introduced a national policy aiming forsafer, adaptive, and disaster-resilient communities. This article questionsthe assumption that the policy inherently benefits everyone in disastergovernance. Focusing on the challenges faced during its implementation,particularly in the resettlement of sea-based Badjao indigenous peoplenow living in urban areas, the study draws on a 2018–2019 case study. Itreveals that the rhetoric of safety justifies resettlement, contrasting withthe lived experiences that contest risk reduction, and argues that state-ledresettlement intensifies vulnerabilities. Utilizing empathic recognition, thisarticle explores how neglecting empathy toward indigenous communitiescan lead to disaster injustice.<br /><br />KEYWORDS: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES • BADJAO • RESETTLEMENT • RHETORIC OFSAFETY • DISASTER JUSTICERegina Macalandag2024-03-262024-03-2672Grounding Disaster Justice: Perspectives from Practitioners
