globalisasyon

• paano pa kaya babaguhin ng globalisasyon at kapitalismo ang konsepto natin ng oras, espasyo, kultura, buhay at kabuhayan sa hinaharap?
• hindi lahat ng tao ay handa at may kakayahang umangkop sa sagadsarang globalisasyon. madaling humusga lalo na kung hindi tayo ang aktwal na nakararanas. ang mga mahihirap kasi ang pinakabulnerable sa pandaigdigang larong ito .
• para sa marami, mas madaling kumampi sa anuman o sinumang nananaig (halimbawa: kapitalismo). kumbinyente e. no brainer kasi, sabi ng iba. effortless, kumbaga. (read: mahirap maging aktibista, anuman ang pagpapakuhulugan natin dito)
• lahat tayo ay nakinabang o naperwisyo (o kombinasyon) ng globalisasyon sa iba't ibang paraan at antas (degree). sa kadulu-duluhan, isyu pa rin ito ng ating pag-angkop, pagtanggap (o di-pagtanggap) at pagpuproseso.

random thoughts

• Taas-kamao para sa mga mag-aaral ng PUP na aktibong tumututol sa panukalang itaas ang kanilang matrikula mula P12 kada unit patungong p75. Madaling mapakilos ang mga mag-aaral dahil sa kanilang materyal na kondisyon (economic) at sa masikhay na pag-oorganisa ng mga lider-estudyante. Mabuhay kayo! (Note: Bukod sa PNU, gusto kong makapagturo sa PUP.)
• Sa Adamson, "classmate" ang tawagan ng bawat mag-aaral kahit ang mga magkaibang year levels. (culture of inclusivity, NOT EXCLUSIVITY). Lampas sa 3 taon ako nagturo sa pamantasang ito. Masisipag ang mga mag-aaral.
• Sa UP, hindi kasama ang General Psychology, Introduction to Economics at Philippine Government and Constitution bilang General Education (GE o RGEP). NAPAKASAKLAP.
• Isang dekada na ako sa UP (1997-2007) bilang mag-aaral sa undergrad (1997-2000), mag-aaral sa masteral (2001-2004) at guro (2002-2007). Wala akong balak magdoktorado.
• Maraming eskwelahan ang hindi tumanggap sa akin noon tulad ng AMA Computer Learning Center along Pedro Gil, Santa Isabel College at Arellano University. Hindi rin ako pinansin ng Philippine Women's University at Philippine Christian University sa kabila ng pangungulit ko dati.
• Gusto kong mag-aral ng basic electronics kung may pagkakataon. Accountancy kasi ang T.H.E. namin noong HS.
• Ang pagkakamit ng M.A. o Ph.D. degree ay mas usapin ng disiplina kaysa sa talino. Maaaring mali ako.
• Alam natin ang ibig sabihin ng MLQU. Mahusay na eskwelahan daw ito noon. Pero bumulusok na ngayon. Kaya minsan may mga palabiro at mapanghusga na nagsasabi na ang ibig sabihin nito ngayon ay "MLQuick". Ibig sabihin, kung gusto mo raw makapagtapos agad ng M.A. o Ph.D. dito ka pumasok. SA KATOTOHANAN, MARAMING PAMANTASAN ANG MAITUTURING NA "MLQUICK".

Pasasalamat

Salamat ng marami sa mga tumulong sa mga kaibigan kong Aeta (sina Aling Norma at Linda) sa pamamagitan ng pagbili ng kanilang mga katutubong produkto (bamboo flute o "bulugudyong" at "kulasisi").

Sa kanilang komunidad ako lumagi sa loob ng 1 at 1/2 buwan bilang student-practicumer sa DevStud Program noong 2000.

Nakita ko silang naglalakad sa may M.H. del Pilar St. at Roxas Blvd. at hinimok na bumisita sa UP Manila sa pagbabakasakaling makabenta rito.

Salamat sa inyo dahil makakabalik na sila sa Pampanga. Matagal silang hindi nakabenta sa metropolis dahil sa sunod-sunod na pag-ulan noong isang linggo.

Para sa mga interesado, maaaring basahin ang aking kauna-unahang post sa blog na ito noong December 2004. Ang balangkas na iyon ay halaw sa aking karanasan sa pakikipamuhay sa mga katutubong Pilipino.

Magbasa ng 1 artikulo na nailathala sa Issues Without Tears. May mga kopya nito sa Reserved Section ng UP CAS Library na maaaring ipa-photocopy. Iwasan ang may kaparehong artikulo. Inaatasan ko si Ms. G Ang na maghanda ng matrix/table kung saan itatala ng kanyang mga kamag-aral ang kani-kanilang mga napiling akda. Magsisilbi itong gabay para sa lahat upang maiwasan ang duplikasyon. Pagkatapos basahin ang napiling akda, makipagpalitan naman sa sinumang tapos na rin. Ipagpapatuloy ito hanggang sa makapagbasa ang isang mag-aaral ng 5-6 sa kabuuan. Ang layunin nito ay para matututo, makatipid at pasikhayin ang kultura ng pagbabasa sa mga mag-aaral. Inaasahan din na magkakaroon ng mga talakayan sa pagitan ng mga mag-aaral na nakapagpalitan. Mayroon kayong hanggang Agosto 25 para tapusin ito.

NSTP Film Viewing

Sorry we don't have enough time every Saturday. Instead, watch the following video materials in the comfort of your own home or dormitory. Or maybe, as a group, you can set the viewing to a particular place (say, to anyone from your group who volunteers his/her place). It aims to facilitate cooperative learning and economize the use of energy. Or, probably you have other plans in mind. Nevertheless, you have until the end of the month to finish the "film marathon." Afterwhich, processing and long exam will follow.

random thoughts

• sabi ng isang oriental, lahat daw ng mga maputing bagay na ito ay masama kung sobra-sobra ang ating pagkonsumo (asukal, asin at kanin). maaaring ang tinutukoy din niya ay ang pagkawala ng sustansya dahil sa sobrang pagpoproseso, partikular sa kaso ng asukal at bigas.
• sa mga interesado, nagpapa-ampon si dr. kho (natsci at physics prof.) ng dpsm ng mga alaga niyang pusa sa bahay. sa mga hindi nakakaalam, regular na dinadalhan ni dr. kho ng pagkain 2 beses isang araw ang iba pa niyang mga alagang pusa sa cas at pgh. binibigyan din niya ng mga bitamina ang mga ito. dinadala rin niya sa beterinaryo kung kinakailangan. para naman hindi na sila masyadong dumami pa, pinapakapon (castrate) niya ang ilang barakong pusa. sa kabuuan, napakagastos daw. oo nga pala, may mga pangalan siya para sa bawat isa sa kanila at naturuan na rin niya ng mga tricks ang ilan sa mga ito. very interesting!
• para sa 4th year devstud, pumili ng angkop na cognates para sa inyong planong career path.

QUOTES

• "As we no longer have death penalty (judicial killings), all killings in the country, strictly speaking, are extrajudicial."-Geronimo Sy, Manila Times colunist
• "Larger-size families still constitute the majority of the poor. Poverty incidence increases as family size increases. A strong word of caution: all the foregoing shows correlation, but not causation. There is no way of telling whether it is having larger families that is the cause of their poverty (not enough to go around), or it is poverty that causes the larger family sizes (the search for social security). Probably a combination of both. Buth the association between the two is too strong to be denied.-Solita Monsod, BusinessWorld

Quotes from Human Development Report 2006

Beyond Scarcity: Power, Poverty and the Global Water Crisis

• "Not having access" to water and sanitation is a polite euphemism for a form of deprivation that threatens life, destroy opportunity and undermines human dignity.
• Ensuring that every person has access to at least 20 liters of clean water each day is a minimum requirement for respecting the human right to water.
• The scarcity at the heart of the global water crisis is rooted in power, poverty and inequality, not in physical availability.
• Water and sanitation are among the most preventive medicines available to governments to reduce infectious disease.
• Land and water are two key assets on which poor people depend for their livelihoods.
• Across much of the developing world, unclean water is an immeasurably greater threat to human security than violent conflict.
• While one part of the world sustains designer bottled-water market that generates no tangible health benefits, another part suffers acute public health risks because people have to drink water from drains or from lakes and rivers.
• Unclean water and poor sanitation have claimed more lives over the past century than any other cause.
• Poor people get less access to clean water and pay more for it.
• Water scarcity can be physical, economic or institutional, and-like water itself-it can fluctuate over time and space.
• Water policy reform should be seen as an integral part of national poverty reduction strategies.

TODARO (1997) OUTLINE

2 Kinds of World Agriculture

1. the highly efficient agriculture of the developed countries, where substantial productive capacity & high output/worker permit a very small number of farmers to feed the entire nations
2. the inefficient & low productivity agriculture of developing countries, where in many instances the agricultural sector can barely sustain the farm population, let alone the urban burgeoning population, even at a minimum level of subsistence

4 Dimensions of Employment Problem in the Developing Region

1. The Educated Unemployed (unemployment rates rise w/ higher levels of schooling) His explanation: least educated can't afford to be unemployed & must seek any kind of work in the informal sector. Even though they may be grossly unemployed-working, say, only 1 day a week-these people are not counted as unemployed. College graduates, on the other hand, can afford to search for higher-paying jobs & are thus more likely to be counted among the unemployed.
2. Self-employment in the Informal Economy (off-shoot of the inability of the people to find salaried employment; the objective is day-to-day survival)
3. Women & Unemployment (Most women are employed in a very limited range of low-productivity jobs where hours of work were long & pay was low)
4. Youth Unemployment (concentrated in urban area due to in-migration & burgeoning labor force of young new entrants) and Child Labor (children under age of 14 work long hours of pitiful low wages under subhuman working conditions)

GMA's Cabinet Meeting (a forwarded text from a student)

GMA: Kung sinuman ang tamaan ng bolang ito ay s'yang magreresign.
(Initsa ang bola, tumalbog pabalik sa kanya.)
GMA: O, practice lang yun noh! Ulet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random Thoughts

• It's horsetrading once again in Congress.
• In his play of words, Peter Wallace once said that the opposite of PROgress is CONgress.
• When I personally asked Mrs. Imelda Marcos in a forum about what she thinks is the most distorted part of the Philippine contemporary history, she answered that it is our culture. She said that Filipinos are misunderstood by outsiders. For a very obvious reason, she did not really answered my question. She's witty! (read: cunning)
• Meldy, as she always claim, is allergic to ugliness. That, according to her, explains her penchant for extravaganza, spectacles, and mega-structures.
• The 2010 prexy polls will still be an extension of the GMA-Erap storyline.
• Expect more major and minor disasters (both natural and human-induced, or combination thereof) to occur in the coming months. In fact, we have a major one in our midst (GMA= "tsunano"=tsunami+unano). My apologies for the heightism.
• Everyday, we are having an election in the country. People are "voting with their feet." They are leaving the country for good.
• The country is not only in search of an alternative to GMA, but her complete opposite. It's still an unfinished revolution since 1896.

SocSci 120 (group report for July 17, same groupings)

SOCIOLOGY OF CARE WORK

EMERGING THEORIES OF CARE WORK by Paula England (Stanford University)

Care work is done in the home as well as in markets for pay.

Five theoretical frameworks have been developed to conceptualize care work; the frameworks sometimes offer competing answers to the same questions, and other times address distinct questions.

• The "devaluation" perspective argues that care work is badly rewarded because care is associated with women, and often women of color.
• The "public good" framework points out that care work provides benefits far beyond those to the direct recipient and suggests that the low pay of care work is a special case of the failure of markets to reward public goods.
• The "prisoner of love" framework argues that the intrinsic caring motives of care workers allow employers to more easily get away with paying care workers less.
• Instead of seeing the emotional satisfactions of giving care as its own reward, the "commodification of emotion" framework focuses on emotional harm to workers when they have to sell services that use an intimate part of themselves.
• The "love and money" framework argues against dichotomous views in which markets are seen as antithetical to true care.
  

DS 126 Modified Graded Recitation (July 14)

On a random basis, each student shall be pitted against another to argue on a specific policy issue in the Philippines. On that day (July 14), one will be assigned to argue for (merits) and another against (demerits) each policy issue listed below. Therefore, all these topics should be studied carefully. I suggest that you form a small study group for purposes of convenience and economy. Each student will be called to enter the room one at a time and will be given 5-6 minutes to deliver his/her points/counter-points. 8 jurors will evaluate all the speakers based on the following criteria (substance, logic and persuasive ability). Good luck!

1. Human Security Act of 2007
2. Amnesty Plan for MILF, NPA and mutineers
3. Rep. Gilbert Teodoro as DND Chief
4. General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS)
5. Commercial structures along baywalk in Manila
6. Lemon law
7. 2-Child Policy
8. Unicameralism
9. Philippine-US 'Special' Relations
10. Party-list Law
11. Fiscal Incentives Rationalization
12. Federalism Proposal of Nene Pimentel
13. Privatization of NFA
14. Lifting of citizenship restriction in operating business in the Philippines

random thoughts

• Para sa akin, dapat manatiling may nakalaang tambayan ang mga University-based organizations sa CAS. Katuwang ng maraming mga propesor ang mga orgs na ito sa pagpapataas ng kamulatan ng kapwa nila mag-aaral. Sa kasaysayan, ang mga orgs na ito ang humubog sa maraming mga mag-aaral na maging responsableng iskolar ng bayan at mamamayan. Naging aktibo rin sila sa paglulunsad ng mga makabuluhan proyekto sa loob at labas ng UP. CAS ang kinikilala nilang "tahanan" sa pamantasan dahil sa progresibo at mapagpalayang tradisyon nito. Bahagi ng kaluluwa ng CAS ang mga mag-aaral (organisado man o hindi). Kawalan sa bahagi ng CAS kung ililipat sa ibang lugar ang maraming U-based org. Mababawasan ang sigla ng CAS kapag nagkataon.
• Sa kabilang banda, dapat namang tiyakin ng mga orgs na malinis ang kanilang tambayan (para hindi ito maging kapuna-puna sa mga administrador, guro at kapwa mag-aaral).
• Pagbati kay Atty. Karol Sarah Baguilat sa kanyang pagsisimula sa Public Attorney's Office (PAO). Nakaatas sa kanya ang pagtulong sa mga pamilya at biktima ng extra-judicial killings. Samantala, may klase naman siya sa UPM tuwing Sabado. Taas-kamao para sa people's lawyer!

Economics by Dr. Gregory Mankiw

"Whereas politics seemed vague, rambling and subjective, science was analytic, systematic and objective. Economics therefore combines the virtues of politics and science."

"Labor market, like all markets, is subject to the forces of supply and demand."

"An economy's income is the economy's output."

"Can good news for farming be bad news for farmers?"

"Workers unemployed for many months are most likely to suffer economic and psychological hardship."

"The principle of comparative advantage shows that trade can make everyone better off."

"Suppose that the world's fastest typist happens to be trained in brain surgery. Should he do his own typing or hire a secretary?"

"Determinants of productivity: physical capital, human capital, natural resources, and technological knowledge."

Announcements

• Dr. Ed Villegas (Devstud Program's academic coordinator & Ibon Foundation president) will deliver a lecture to DSS faculty about the political economy of culture on June 22. All Devstud majors should procure a copy of his paper. Ms. Ang (1st yr), Ms. Concepcion (2nd yr), Ms. Teves (3rd yr) and Ms. de la Paz (4th yr), please take charge.
• Student organizations sponsoring any issue-based symposium/forum may invite my NSTP CWTS students to attend (as delegate) and/or participate (as reactor). Please inform me about the topic, program, date and venue ahead of time for purposes of documentation. May I underscore that the my approval largely depends on their availability and relevance of the subject matter. Just this semester, I instituted a system to account/document the co-curricular activities of my NSTP students. They are required to attend at least 10 socially relevant symposia/fora per semester. A representative of the sponsoring organization is requested to countersign the tracking form of my students for purposes of validation/checking.

social cost

Quoted from a photo caption by Reuters

"Call center workers gather in a bar after an overnight shift in Makati.

Booming outsourcing industry is generating thousands of jobs

and billions of dollars in revenues but many of its young employees are

turning to caffeine, cigarettes and alcohol to deal with unsociable hours

and demanding, and sometimes abusive callers."
