hortation. Noli Abinales, Foun-

der-Advisor of Buklod Tao,

presented to the floor the result

of the recently conducted Par-

ability Assessment (PCVA) held

at the gazebo of Buklod Tao

last 01 May 2010.

Malu Felizar also of CDP facili-

tated a workshop where the

participants were grouped in

five and explored answers to

the following questions: 1.What

are the perceived problems?; 2.

What are the solutions to the

perceived problems? 3. Which

organization/agency could give

resolution to the perceived

problems?; and 4. What specific

assistance would that organiza-

tion/agency commit as concrete

solution? Group work results

Project Manager of this under-

taking, presented the various

components of the project :

Capability Building, Advocacy

and Livelihoods/poverty allevia-

tion. Jocel Pangilinan of Chris-

tian Aid provided in depth ex-

planations about important

concerns of the project, while

discussed and enhanced com-

mitments. Mr. Ricardo Go-

mez,Municipal Administrator of

San Mateo, elucidated some

points to questions raised in

behalf of the local LGU.

Unities forged were : all those

present recognized the varying

problems relative to disaster

risks and commit to reduce the

risk themselves; the govern-

ment, both at the provincial,

municipal, and barangay levels,

recognized the need for coun-

terparting especially on land

accessability and acquisition;

continuity of efforts to identify

land(s) for evacuation/relocation

at affordable prices to jump

start the infrastructure funder(s)

initiative, who considers infra-

structure for evacuation and

relocation as equally important

as capability building efforts;

evacuation centers relocation

sites are primordial need of high

risk families if we were to pur-

sue a culture of safety in Ba-

naba; we take cognizance of

the need for emergency sanita-

tion in evacuation centers and

hygience promotion among

informal settlers; prevention of

soil erosion at riverbanks :rip

rapping (by government) is still

in the wish list, while gabion

boxes installation is an on-going

initiative via Buklod Tao – De

LaSalle University-Manila

TRED2 ,CWTS students com-

munity service; enlisted were

the numerous problems, issues

and concerns relative to disas-

ter risk reduction, but advocacy

also is seen as a complimentary

initiative to attain our goals; in

youth, Buklod ng Kabataan, in

particular Buklod ng Kabataan,

are already partners in disaster

risk reduction via their show-

case performances with s about

love of mother nature and expo-

sure f Banaba constituents to

disaster risks; there is a need to

mainstream poverty alleviation

in our community as one ap-

proach to vulnerability reduction

at the periphery and Buklod

Tao’s Social Enterprise Capital

A u g m e n t a t i o n P r o g r a m

(SECAP) is one good tool to

look into.

Ang barangay banaba, gaya

ng ibang barangay sa ibat

ibang bahagi ng pilipinas, ay

isa sa mga high risk areas, o

delikadong lugar na kina-

kailangang bigyan ng aten-

syon, panahon, at gawan ng

mga iba’t ibang gawain na

magpapababa ng risgo at

peligro (disaster risk reduc-

tion measures). Ang proyek-

tong Banaba Disaster Risk

reduction project ay nagla-

layong mapababa ang mga

risgo at bulnerabilidad at

mapataas ang mga

kakayaanan ng buong pama-

yanan. Ngunit sa pagpapatu-

pad nito ng CDP at Buklod

Tao mahalaga na ang buong

barangay ay magkatulungan

at makibahagi para gawing

ligtas ang bananba. Umaasa

na ang newsletter na ito ay

makapag bigay ng inspi-

rasyon sa banaba at sa

karatig barangay na makiba-

hagi sa DRR, makipagtulun-

gan sa ibat ibang stake-

San Mateo, Rizal - Leaders from no more than 15 baran-gays were given orientation on the important points or provisions of the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management act of 2010 (RA 10121) on June 24, 2010 here. Given by Ms. Susan Cruz, the regional director for the Office of the Civil Defense in the National Capitol Region, this orientation updated the Municipal and Barangay officials of San Mateo regard-ing the role of the National

Disaster Coordinating Council or the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Of-fice and the Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council as stated in the New DRR Bill.

She also discussed the ongo-ing solutions that are being implemented by the different government agencies to ad-dress and mitigate the impact of climate change in the Phil-ippines. Thus, the participants were given ideas so that they can assess how they can

contribute solutions to this global issue.

Consequently, they were given information/presentation regarding the importance of disaster risk reduction. Jelyne Gealone, member of the administrative staff of the center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP), intro-duced the said non-government organization and how it has been working hand-in-hand with the Buklod Tao to reduce the vulnerabili-ties and increase capacities in the area. Ms. Mayfourth Luneta, senior program offi-cer of CDP, on the other hand, showed a video pres-entation of the previous suc-cessful engagements of CDP such as the Project Promise in Dagupan City, Pangasi-nan. She then gave brief training on disaster risk re-duction shortly after. Towards the end of the event, the municipality of San Mateo gave out tools and paraphernalia to each baran-gay which are very important during safe and rescue op-erations during disasters. DRR materials from CDP were also handed out.

Sa umpisa ng trabahong Cash for Work sa Banaba Extension ay may limang pangkat: kala-wakan, kalawaan, katihan, kapasigan, kabukiran. Nag-simula ang Cash for Work noong ikaw-26 ng Enero, para sa Banaba Extension. Apat na pangkat ang nakadestino sa paggawa ng kanal at pag-aayos ng mga daan at ang isa naman ay nakadestino sa paglilinis at pagwawalis ng basura sa laylayan hang-gang sa ilog. Sa pagtatra-baho ng bawat pangkat ay mayroon din naman mga taong nagkukusang tumu-long sa pamamagitan ng pag-aambag o pagbibigay ng merienda, ambag sa se-mento, bakal, hollow blocks, kahoy at pako. Sa mga nag-tatrabaho, at sa bawat araw na natapos ay maayos na-man ang naging resulta. Marydoon din na nagpagawa ng comfort room na nasira ng Bagyong Ondoy at tinulungan ng Cash for Work para mai-balik ang kanilang C.R. Ang cash for work ng Banaba

Extension ay nagbigay o nag-

karoon ng ambagan ng ha-

lagang Php 50 para pondo ng

samahan para sa pagbili ng

mga gamit tulad ng cyclone

wire na ibinakod sa gilid ng

ilog para sa kapakanan ng

bawat taong dumadaan. Tubo

para sa posteng cyclone wire,

semento para sa poste. Ang

pondong nakolekta ng

samahan ay nagagamit din sa

pangangailangan ng bawat

kasapi kung mayroong nagka-

sakit o mayroong nasaktan.

Sa paggawa bawat araw ng

samahang Cash for Work ay

maraming natuwa dahil ang

dating daan na hindi

madaanan ng maayos ay

nadadaanan na ng mga tao na

maginhawa ang kanal na dat-

ing barado ay dinadadaluyan

na ng tubig papunta sa ilog at

ang maruming paligid sa lay-

layan at ilog dahil sa na-

pakaraming basura ay nalinis

din pati ang ilog sa pamam-

agitan ng pangkat kalawa-

kan na siyang nakadestino

sa paglilinis.

Ang buong taga-Banaba

Extension ay natuwa, nasi-

yahan dahil sa kaginhawa-

hang kanilang nadama ng

dahil sa Cash for Work.

Naibalik at nahigitan pa sa

dati ang naging pagbabago

para sa mga taga-Banaba

Extension. Sa tulong ng

Cash for Work ng Christian

Aid, HEKS, Swiss Solidarity

at marami pang tumulong ay

marami ang nakinabang

tulad na lang ng mga taong

nabigyan ng trabaho para

kumita at para din sa kanilang

pamilya sapagkat ang kanilang

pangangailangan ito natu-

gunan. Natapos ang Cash for

Work noong buwan ng Marso

at ito ay totoong nag-iwan ng

malaking pagbabago, at higit

sa lahat, pag-asa.

Nagkaroon ng malaking dagok sa ating buhay,

Tapon dito't tapon doon

Putol dito't putol doon...

Tao'y sadyang kaylupit

Inang Kalikasa'y naghiganti

Sa gitna ng dilim, napakalakas na ulan

Walang tigil umaga't hanggang gabi

Mga tao'y nababahala

Kabahay'y lunod na

Sapagkat si Ondoy naririto na,

Bumubulusok, umaarangkada

Sa labis na pagkabala

Tao'y nasa bubong na

Sigaw dito, sigaw doon,binibigkas nila ay

ganito: "Bangka, bangka sa ami'y lumapit".

Rescuer di magkanda-ugaga, sa dami ng nirerescue,

Kaya tao'y gumawa ng paraan, hanap ng kahoy, o di kaya kawayan, gamit na pantulak

Marating lamang, mataas na bahay...

Bata't matanda nag-iiyakan,

Nagdarasal sa Poong Maykapal,

Kapatawaran ang ninanais

sa nagawa nating kasalanan...

Humupa na ang ulan

Bumaba tubig sa kailugan

Tao'y nadama labis na kagutuman

Buti na lamang kay buti ng Diyos...

Pagkat maraming nagbigay ng tulong sa atin

nandiyan ang EcoWaste, De La Salle,

Ateneo, U.P.,

Christian Aid, HEKS, Unlad Kabayan,

Oxfam, at marami pang iba.
