In the instances of the boat markers, these peculiarities concretely manifest the coming together of the purpose and concern of monumental architecture with the archipelago’s collective world view. The Annales concept of the longue duree helps clarify these architectural peculiarities of the various Malayo-Polynesian peoples of the Philippines archipelago, who shared in the region-wide Austronesian ethnic and linguistic heritage, but who more peculiarly shared in their own archipelago’s distinctive combination of weather and seismic activity. Thus the boat-shaped markers appear to flow and disappear into the farther landscape. The fickle and frequently powerful and destructive natural environment defines the cosmological, which can only be highlighted or pointed out, not mastered or made a home of. Rather, the sense of the cosmic is imposed by and is immanent in the weather and seismic events. In the Philippines archipelago, the sense of the cosmic cannot be materialized in monumental structures that either defy the earth or that identify with the cosmic. In the archaeological record of Malayo-Polynesian Philippines, the absence of monumental structures in the basic architectural forms of either the tower or earth/mountain, and the presence of boat-shaped burial markers laid out low to the ground in stones or coral slabs, are two sides of the same collective cosmological coin. It also presents the key advanced technologies that can be used for disaster planning and how they can help mitigate natural calamities. This paper presents the major disasters in the Philippines over the last 5 years and the lessons learned from them. Following much-improved understanding of natural processes that underlie hazardous events, it is only with public policy application of technology as well as scientific (geophysical) and engineering knowledge that disasters can be effectively mitigated. Proper contingency and developmental planning strategies in support of protecting life and property against natural hazards, is therefore an imperative. These disasters should be viewed not as one-off extreme events but as a manifestation of unresolved problems of planning and development. In the last five years, catastrophes have inflicted thousands of deaths and costly damage to property amounting to billions of pesos. These summary findings line up with research that underrepresented people get less feedback and less actionable feedback (especially critical feedback) from their managers.The floods brought about by tropical storm Ondoy and typhoon Pepeng were the latest amongst the disasters that have plagued the Philippines year after year. I'm looking forward to reading this research. (Thank you Jacqueline Browning for sharing this study and reminding me about bringing a folding chair) "The study found that as hypothesized, Black clients received more support, yet less challenge, less constructive feedback, and less time devoted to areas of development than did otherwise identical White clients.The result is that leaders of color who receive coaching may be robbed of developmental opportunities offered to White organizational leaders." In his PhD thesis Ariel Finch Bernstein, PhD asked two questions:ġ️⃣ Do coaches provide less critical feedback to Black clients than they do White clients?Ģ️⃣ Do coaches engage in fewer diversity-based conversations with Black clients than with White clients? With organizations like Coaching For Everyone that is slowly starting to change. The coaching industry has been dominated by white women. #EquityWithQuo #Antiracism #Equity #RealTalk #HowWeHeal #DoTheWork #StopLying #WeSeeYou #DoBetter #TakeUpSpace #Logic #StopThat #DisruptTheSystem Do the work.įor those who are being called into these spaces - take up your space - unapologetically! This is how the system shifts. Pretending to be committed only delays the necessary. We disrupt this by releasing the perfectionism, right to comfort, defensiveness, sense of urgency, and either/or thinking - by releasing the fear. You are responsible and accountable for effective change. You ARE making active choices about how you shift to live out your commitment - or not. You WILL meet challenges that disrupt the way you do things. It is only natural and necessary that things change. Claiming a commitment to antiracism sounds nice - but it is more harmful if not supported by active, uncomfortable change - especially when bringing more people into the space. Spaces are not inherently antiracist in this system - it takes active commitment. This work takes the courage to face the icky things, to sit in constant learning, to listen, and be accountable. It is human to want to make the bad feelings go away. Change can only take root when you do the work.
