For our fieldwork last February 5, our class conducted the Participatory Capacities & Vulnerabilities Assessment (PCVA) to a newly established community in Montalban, Rizal. There we interacted with some members of the community like Nanay Salva, Nanay Merlita, Karolyn, Kevin and Antonio. Our group was tasked to lead Nanay Salva and the others in identifying the people or institutions who have...

the only true disability is a crushed spirit
There’s an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not I’m disabled.

Respeto lang.
There really are people who aren’t sensitive enough. Nakakasakit na nga ng tao, hindi pa rin makaramdam. Simpleng pag-usog lang sa jeep kasi may lolo na sasakay or yung simpleng pagtahimik lang kapag dumating na yung prof niyo as a sign of respect, hindi pa magawa. May iba naman, alam na ngang nakakabastos sinasadya pa. Yung tipong alam na nila na naiinis na yung tao pero deadma lang ang...

Fieldwork!
  My initial reaction before going to the school was we would get tired from painting. When we arrived there, I felt relieved in seeing that we were only painting a small portion of the school. However, I felt sad too because I wanted to give the people in the community the best that I could and lack of resources (specifically, paint) stopped me and my classmates from helping these people to the...
