SUMMARY:Urban Ecologies\, Sustainable Conservation & Innovative Governance in Baguio: A Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Local Regional Studies Network (LRSN) of UP CIDS and the Cordillera Studies Center\, UP Baguio are organizing a forum\, “Baguio City’s Biodiversity Greenprint: A Policy Review on Urban Ecologies for Sustainable Conservation and Innovative Governance\,” on 11 October 2024\, 8:00 am–12:00 nn\, via Zoom and the Audio Visual Room\, College of Social Sciences\, University of the Philippines Baguio. The forum is free and open to the public\, but seating is first-come\, first-served. Participants are encouraged to register.\n \nSIGN UP: YES\, I WILL ATTEND!\n\nConcept Note\n\nBaguio City\, known for its cool climate and unique biodiversity\, has long been a vital ecological zone in Northern Luzon. However\, the rapid urbanization and population growth over the last few decades have led to significant challenges to its ecological sustainability. Originally designed for a population of 25\,000–30\,000\, Baguio has surpassed this limit more than twelve times\, resulting in strain on its natural resources\, degradation of urban ecosystems\, and loss of biodiversity. The city’s expansion threatens not only its environment\, but also its potential as a model for sustainable urban living.\n\nThe Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR)\, which includes Baguio\, is home to several key biodiversity areas (KBAs) that serve as crucial ecological hotspots. Despite this\, biodiversity studies in the region are limited\, leaving significant gaps in conservation efforts and policy interventions. Without adequate biodiversity data\, informed strategies for ecological preservation and sustainable urban development remain difficult to develop.\n\nThe “Baguio Biodiversity Greenprint” project seeks to address these issues through a comprehensive policy review and stakeholder engagement to develop a blueprint for sustainable urban ecological governance. This will also serve as UP Baguio’s contribution to the 115th Baguio City Charter Anniversary celebrations.\n\nThe forum will consist of keynote speeches\, policy presentations\, and interactive discussions from key stakeholders: government officials\, environmental experts\, community leaders\, and academic representatives. This will hopefully initiate the conversation on sustainable urban ecologies and ensure a broad range of perspectives in crafting policy recommendations.\n\nForum Objectives\n\nThe forum aims to:\n\nIntroduce the Baguio Biodiversity Greenprint project and outline its objectives;\n\nExplore the impact of urbanization on Baguio’s biodiversity;\n\nSolicit feedback from stakeholders to shape policy recommendations; and\n\nPromote collaboration on innovative solutions for balancing urban development with ecological conservation.\n\nResource Speakers\n\nAttorney Rhenan G. Diwas will be sharing his expertise and plans for the city as the head of the Baguio City Environment and Parks Management Office.\n\nDr. Zenaida G. Baoanan\, Professor and UP Scientist of the University of the Philippines Baguio\, will discuss biodiversity conservation\, urban planning\, and sustainable governance.\n\nOrganizers and Queries\n\nFor queries\, please email lrsn.baguio@up.edu.ph.\n\nThis forum is organized by the Local Regional Studies Network (LRSN) of the Center for Integrative and Development Studies\, University of the Philippines\, the policy research unit\, and the Cordillera Studies Center\, University of the Philippines Baguio.\n\nLRSN is one of the Research Programs of UP CIDS\, and it currently involves\, among others\, faculty and staff of the University of the Philippines Baguio.

We will also discuss the latest research on cervical cancer epidemiology in the country\, highlighting the prevalence rates and socioeconomic disparities associated with the disease. In addition\, our panel of experts will discuss the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection as a primary cause of cervical cancer and explore the effectiveness of HPV vaccination programs in reducing the incidence of the disease.\n\nPrevention and early detection are crucial in mitigating the impact of cervical cancer. Hence\, we will cover the importance of regular cervical screening\, including Pap smears and HPV testing\, as well as the benefits of HPV vaccination for both women and men. We will also discuss the challenges and strategies for improving access to cervical screening services\, particularly in underserved communities.\n\nWe will explore treatment options for cervical cancer\, including the range of available approaches\, from surgery and radiation therapy to chemotherapy and targeted therapies. By understanding the disease’s distribution and risk factors\, we can put more emphasis on prevention\, early detection strategies\, and appropriate treatment in improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates.\n\nOur main presenter is Dr. Cecilia Ladines-Llavees\, who is a cervical cancer elimination advocate and serves as technical advisor to Jhpiego Philippines. Our reactor is Dr. Lilli May C. Teodoro-Cole\, who is the chief of the Section of Gynecologic Oncology\, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology\, Jose R.

SUMMARY:"Shields of the people’: Disaster Risk Reduction education for building up agents of resilience and responsibilised citizens"
DESCRIPTION:What comprises the right education for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)? This oft-asked question has long intrigued educators and field practitioners when viewing what builds a culture of safety and resilience among society’s vulnerable sectors.\n\nFor the latest paper presentation of the Heo/Geo Lecture Series for 2024\, DRR will be spotlit as a global policy initiative to build resilience in hazards-exposed communities. Sponsored jointly by the UPD Department of Geography and the Philippine Geographical Society (PGS) the Heo/Geo Lecture Series presents “‘Shields of the people’: Disaster Risk Reduction education for building up agents of resilience and responsibilised citizens” to be presented by Dr Liberty de Rivera on Friday\, 11 October 2024 at 5:30PM Philippine time UTC+8 / 7:30PM AEST UTC+10).\n\nFor this presentation\, Dr de Rivera interrogates the rhetoric of resilience building through education by investigating its contrasting features as an agentic concept and a responsibilising device. Through an ethnographic reading of DRR education programmes in Aparri town in the Philippines\, she will illustrate how resilience as a polyvalent construct creates a double-bind of creating spaces for education actors and learners; participation and empowerment while legitimising patterns of deflection of responsibilities. Dr de Rivera centres the analysis on the metaphorical reference of students as Salaknib Dagiti Tattao\, or shields of the people\, and the designation of teachers as disaster responders to demonstrate how emerging labels and expectations about resilient citizenship must be reflexively developed and critically enacted. Inherent within these programmes are features that might depoliticise disasters and overshadow the need to uphold accountability and responsibility.\n\nDr Liberty Pascua de Rivera is Vice-Chancellor Research Fellow at the Faculty of Education of Southern Cross University. Her research interests include analysing and evaluating policies and their implementation in the areas of education for sustainable development\, climate change\, and disaster risk reduction. Central to her research is the idea of cognitive justice—what\, or whose knowledge\, is emphasised\, neglected\, and minoritised in processes of policy cascade.\n\nLiberty obtained her BA in Communication Research degree from the UP College of Mass Communication and her Master of Development Studies and PhD from the University of Sydney. Liberty has taught\, conducted research\, and engaged in development work in Singapore\, the Philippines\, Vanuatu\, and Australia. She is the treasurer of the Oceania Comparative and International Education Society – OCIES where she also co-leads the New and Emerging Researchers of OCIES. Liberty is an Associate Editor of the International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education (IRGEE) journal. Liberty is from the province of Apayao. She is the mother to two-year-old Kappia and partner to Ryan.\n\nThe Heo/Geo Lecture Series is a space to share and exchange ideas on a wide variety of geographical topics that intersect methodologies\, discourses\, technologies\, pedagogies\, and practices. Faculty\, students\, alumni and local and foreign geography and geography-adjacent researchers delivered various presentations in previous academic years fulfilling one of the Department’s mission: to popularize geography as an academic discipline through research and practice.\n\nThis presentation is sponsored through Geographies of Disasters and Hazards (G-DASH)\, and the Human Geography (HuG) and Media\, Literary Geographies\, and Geohumanities (MELANGE) research groups of the UP Diliman Department of Geography and in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal #3 (Good health and well-being) and #4 (Quality education).\n\nTo participate in the talk\, click this link to register: https://bit.ly/3zLBSMx\n\nSource: UP Department of Geography Facebook
