FOOD DEFENDERS IN TIMES OF DISASTER

Ang Tarabang Para sa Bicol, Inc. (TABI), sa pakikipagtulungan ng Tulong Kabataan Albay, Kaya Natin Youth Camalig, at Philippine Network for Food Security Programmes (PNFSP), ay matagumpay na nagsagawa ng training na “Food Defenders in Times of Disaster: Community Data Gathering for Disaster Response, Food Security, and Environmental Protection” noong Agosto 16, 2026.

Mahigit 25 kabataan at community volunteers ang lumahok sa makabuluhang learning activity na naglalayong palakasin ang kanilang kaalaman at kasanayan sa Damage, Needs, and Capacities Assessment (DNCA)—isang mahalagang kasangkapan sa pag-unawa sa tunay na kalagayan ng mga komunidad bago, habang, at pagkatapos ng kalamidad.

Sa pamamagitan ng mga talakayan, exercises, at praktikal na pagsasanay sa pagkalap, pagberipika, at pagsusuri ng impormasyon, natutuhan ng mga kalahok kung paano makabuo ng mas maaasahang datos na maaaring gamitin sa disaster response at sa pag-unawa sa mga usapin ng food security, kabuhayan, food production, disaster risks, at environmental protection.

Para sa mga Food Defenders, ang DNCA ay hindi lamang simpleng pangangalap ng datos. Ito ay isang proseso ng pakikinig, pagmamasid, pagtatanong, pagsusuri, at pag-unawa sa tunay na karanasan ng mga pamilya at komunidad—lalo na kapag naaapektuhan ng kalamidad ang kanilang pagkain, kabuhayan, nutrisyon, kapaligiran, at kakayahang makabangon.

Sa DNCA, natututuhan ng mga Food Defenders na tukuyin ang mga pinsala (damage), pangangailangan (needs), at kakayahan at resources (capacities) ng mga pamilya at komunidad. Mahalaga ang mga impormasyong ito upang matukoy kung:

🌾 Ano ang agarang pangangailangan sa pagkain at iba pang pangunahing serbisyo?
🏡 Ano ang naging epekto ng kalamidad sa kabuhayan at food production?
💧 Anong resources at kakayahan ang mayroon pa ang mga pamilya at komunidad?
🤝 Anong suporta ang tunay na kailangan at pinakaangkop sa kanilang sitwasyon?

Kapag tama ang datos, mas nagiging tama rin ang tugon. Kapag naririnig ang boses ng komunidad, mas nagiging makabuluhan ang pagkilos.

Sa panahon ng kalamidad, mahalagang hindi lamang responders ang kumikilos. Ang mga kabataan at community volunteers mismo ay maaaring maging tagapagtala, tagapag-ugnay, tagapagtanggol, at katuwang ng kanilang komunidad.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng naging bahagi ng makabuluhang pagkatuto at pagkilos na ito. Patuloy nating palakasin ang mga kabataan at community volunteers bilang Food Defenders at katuwang sa pagtatanggol sa pagkain, kabuhayan, kapaligiran, at karapatan ng mga komunidad—lalo na sa panahon ng kalamidad at higit pa rito. 🌱✊

𝐁𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐋 𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋: 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐊𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐀 🌱

Si Doc. Rose Sambo ang tumatayong direktong ng Tarabang Para sa Bicol - Bicol Farmer School na isang paaralan na naglalayong bigyan ng angkop na teknolohiya at kaalaman ang mga komunidad ng mga magsasaka sa naturang rehiyon.

Sa isang panayam kasama ang Climate Change Network for Community-based Initiatives (CCNCI), ibinahagi ni Doc. Rose ang maaaring maranasan ng isang pangkaraniwang mag-aaral sa loob ng paaralan. Dinetalye niya din ang kurikulo na itinuturo sa mga mag-aaral at ang namumunong pilosopiya sa pagtatatag nito.

Hinikayat ng Bicol Farmers School ang mga pampublikong opisyal at kawani ng gobyerno sa kanilang paaralan upang masaksihan ang tunay na lagay ng mga magsasaka sa Bicol. Isang halimbawa ang Tabi - BFS ng isang paaralan na inugatan mula sa tunay na hinaing at materyal na kondisyon ng mga magsasaka sa komunidad.

Ito ang siyang patunay na kinakailangan pang itaguyod ang mga ganitong inisyatiba upang palawakin pa ang likas-kayang pagsasaka sa mga agrikultural na rehiyon.

47 LUGAR, MAGKAKAROON NG DRY CONDITION

Ayon sa PAGASA, posible na magkaroon ng dry condition sa 47 lugar sa November 2026.

Kapag sinabing "dry condition," 21% hanggang 60% ang nababawas sa dami ng ulan na dapat ay nararanasan ng isang lugar sa loob ng dalawang magkasunod na buwan.

Ang Camarinese Sur naman ay inaasahang mgakaroon ng "dry spell" o mahigit 60% na pagbaba sa dami ng ulan sa loob ng dalawang buwan.

Wala namang lugar ang inaasahan na magkaroon ng drought, ayon sa PAGASA.

On May 22, 2026, hope reached the communities of Barangays Tumpa and Sua in Camalig through a successful Relief Distribution Operation (RDO) led by TABI, in partnership with the Citizens Disaster Response Center (CDRC) and World Jewish Relief (WJR).

This response came at a time when many families were still struggling after the Mayon Volcano eruption on May 2, 2026. Heavy ashfall blanketed the affected areas, bringing near-zero visibility, damaging vegetable farms and rice fields, affecting water sources, and leaving some residents with ongoing health concerns caused by ash exposure.

For 600 of the most vulnerable families, the operation meant more than just relief items—it was a reminder that they are not alone in facing the hardship brought by disaster.

This meaningful effort was made possible through the dedication and teamwork of many partners. We are deeply grateful to Tulong Kabataan–Bicol and Kaya Natin Youth–Camalig for mobilizing volunteers early for repacking; to the Disaster Preparedness Committees of both barangays for their coordination and support; and to the LGU of Camalig, through the MSWDO, together with the Barangay LGUs, for their unwavering assistance in making the entire operation smooth, organized, and systematic.

In moments like this, we are reminded that compassion, coordination, and collective action can bring real relief and renewed hope to affected communities.

CALL FOR DONATIONS | Support Communities Affected by the Mayon Phreatic Eruption

During our recent visit, TABI and Tulong Kabataan-Bicol reached several areas affected by the May 2, 2026 phreatic eruption of Mayon. Until now, the impact remains deeply visible and strongly felt across the communities.

Access to these areas is extremely difficult. Thick layers of volcanic ash blanket the surroundings, making it hazardous to enter without proper protective gear.

In Barangay Quirangay, the situation remains critical. The ashfall continues to severely affect both daily life and livelihoods. The woman in green in the video is BHW Edna Morota. In the photos, residents are pointing to what used to be their crops—mung beans, eggplant, string beans, and chili. These have all been buried and destroyed by ash, leaving them with nothing to harvest.

Around 90% of the community depends on farming as their primary source of income.

Their most urgent needs right now are food packs and, especially, safe drinking water. There have already been reported cases of diarrhea, as residents rely on spring water for drinking. Cases of skin rashes, asthma, and colds are also increasing. Transportation remains a major challenge due to the heavy ashfall.

We are knocking on your kind hearts for support. Any form of assistance—food, clean water, medical supplies, or financial donations—will go a long way in helping these communities recover.

Together, we can bring relief and hope to those affected.
