Abstract

This study describes the health disaster resilience of the Caraga residents towards the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the objectives of this study are to: describe the respondents' profile, identify the state of well-being, anxiety, knowledge, attitude and practices of Caraga constituents toward COVID19; determine the association of state of well-being, anxiety, knowledge, attitudes, and practices across sex and age groups; identify the COVID-19 related issues and concerns affecting the household and community; and develop appropriate strategic recommendations for action and policy formulation toward effective prevention of the spread, control, and treatment of the infection. Triangulation method was used in this study. There are 425 respondents, comprising of 375 survey respondents and 50 key informant interviews from selected city/municipality of Caraga Administrative Region or Region XIII. The data are gathered from June 28, 2020 to August 12, 2020. 

In general, Caraga respondents are in a state of well-being, as they did not report any impending anxiety. Results imply that they became resilient to the impact of the pandemic, despite some unhappiness, daily work suffering, and other nuisances. Through social media platforms, they engage in positive activities that contribute to their resilience and coping with the situation. 

Caraga respondents show high level of knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practices with the pandemic. Majority of the respondents follow the health protocols except for those who still go to crowded places. To some extent, there is association of state of well-being, anxiety, knowledge, attitudes, and practices with age and sex. 

In terms of the issues and concerns of the household and community, the topmost pressing concerns are community lockdown, physical or social distancing, home quarantine, availment of cash assistance and relief goods, and activities during quarantine for the young, middle aged, and the elderly. Strategic recommendations for action and policy formulation are forwarded based on the findings of the study

Abstract

Layunin ng pag-aaral na ito na makabuo ng isang malinaw na prinsipyong makatutulong sa pagpapaliwanag at pagpapatibay sa paglitaw ng bagong varayti mula sa pagsasanib ng wikang Sebuwano-Mindanawon at wikang Tagalog na maituturing na Filipino varayti ng mga Mindanawon. Layunin din nitong maitampok ang bagong varayti tungo sa elaborasyon ng wikang Filipino. Samakatuwid, tiningnan sa pag-aaral ang mga salitang nagkaroon ng koineization kapag ang nagsasalita ay isang SebuwanoMindanawon ispiker na ang kausap ay isa namang Tagalog ispiker. Ang pagkuha ng mga impormasyon at datos ay batay sa pakikipanayam sa mga gradwadong estudyante na nakatira sa Sanggumay Residence Hall na nagaaral sa UP-Diliman. Ang teoryang ginamit sa pag-aaral ay ang teoryang ginamit ni Peter Trudgill (1986) na lapit na Koineization at wave model theory na isang lapit etnolohikal ni J. Schmidt na kumikilala sa gradwal na pagbabago ng wika sa pamamagitan ng pagtingin sa kaugalian at pinagmulan ng lahi ng isang tao o grupo sanhi ng palagian at madalas na pag-uusap. Napatunayan na ang mga salitang lumitaw sa pakikipagtalastasan ay maituturing na varayti ng Filipino ng Mindanao na may bagong anyo subalit nananatili pa rin ang kahulugan lalo na ang terminong kultural. Nagsupling naman ng mga bagong ideya ang ibang nabuong varayti batay sa gamit nito sa kasalukuyang panahon. Patunay lamang na dumaan ito sa prosesong Koineization tulad ng paghahalo (mixing), pag-aantas (leveling) at pagpapagaan (simplification) na nakatulong upang ipalaganap at itanghal ang wikang pambansang Filipino sa nagbabagong panahon.

Abstract

The prevailing narratives of the essence of the Pilipino values is very much leaning in the discourse of the Tagalog speakers. Hence, the Tagalog-termed concepts related to the values figure prominently in the literatures and textbooks that attempt to explain and impart the very core and ideals of being Pilipino. These are blindsided-linguistic perspectives anchored in the dominant Tagalog-based Filipino language, one among over-a-hundred languages spoken in the archipelago. A closer scrutiny into another dominant language, the Binisaya, reveals that there is a discrepancy in the reckoning of the values when analyzed and deconstructed linguistically. A discourse analysis shows similarities and differences of the usage of terminologies of the Pilipino values in spoken conversation. Similarities were taken as points of intersection of value practices showing coherence. Differences or the lack of counterpart terminologies will show divergence of values as practiced or analyzed in various literatures. This study argues that the Pilipino values, as gleaned from the discourse, reveals a superiorsubordinate nexus that defines these values in the context of one’s power, position and status in the Philippine society. Further, this asserts that in order to imagine the Pilipino values in an inclusive context, the other languages must be included in the analysis, otherwise, the single-language lens becomes hegemonic, if not ethnocentric.
