00:00Now in 2025, in Season 2 of Action Against Poverty
00:04by the National Anti-Poverty Commission, or NAPCI,
00:06we will be able to join every Tuesday and Thursday
00:09in Rise and Shine Philippines
00:10the various agencies and local governments
00:14to discuss the government's interventions
00:18in tackling poverty.
00:19So, in the leadership of the National Anti-Poverty Commission,
00:23let's learn together the actions against poverty.
00:30In Season 2 of Action Against Poverty
00:36And in our new season, we will focus on convergence,
00:40the joining of programs and stakeholders
00:43in the continued development of communities and our citizens.
00:48We will be able to talk here in our program
00:51with Ma'am Amparo, Ms. Shanno, and Ms. Kyoko,
00:53council members of the NAPCI Women's Sector Council
00:56to discuss the roles they play in the NAPCI
01:00and the agendas they advocate for women
01:04in tackling poverty.
01:06Ma'am Amparo, good morning. Welcome to Action Against Poverty.
01:10Good morning, and thank you for inviting me to your program.
01:14Thank you for joining us, ma'am.
01:15All right, Ma'am Amparo, tell us more about, first,
01:17the Women's Sector Council.
01:19Who forms this council?
01:22What is its mandate?
01:23And what role do you play in the NAPCI?
01:26The Women's Sector Council is composed of representatives
01:32from different organizations, women,
01:35from different regions of the Philippines.
01:38And its mandate is to bring the voices of women,
01:45especially those in the poor sector.
01:49For example, the sector of farmers, fishermen,
01:53urban poor,
01:56indigenous people, and other marginalized sectors.
02:00Okay, we're talking about these two concepts,
02:02poverty and women.
02:04What does our data say about the poverty
02:07that the women's sector is still experiencing?
02:10And why is this vulnerable sector still experiencing
02:14this kind of poverty?
02:16In terms of poverty,
02:19women are still the ones who are portraying poverty.
02:25According to our government's data,
02:27they are number six.
02:29Okay.
02:30But in the poorest sectors,
02:33there are fishermen, farmers, and children.
02:37This is actually very ironic
02:40because they are the ones who provide food.
02:43Their role in society is important,
02:45but they are still left poor.
02:48Actually, since 2015,
02:50the data is still the same.
02:522015, 2018, 2021, and up until now.
02:57That's why women have a huge role
03:04to move forward,
03:06especially in NAPSE,
03:08the Women's Sectoral Council,
03:10to really open up the poverty.
03:14But it will be a long work.
03:18If we trace the roots and the reasons,
03:20why is the women's sector number six
03:24when we rank poverty?
03:28What is the problem that we see?
03:31Why is our situation still the same?
03:35It's a bit historical.
03:37If we go back to the past,
03:41we will look at how we were placed in that situation.
03:46We were surrounded by foreigners.
03:49After that, the policies...
03:52Actually, the policemen are a big help
03:56or help in making it harder.
04:01For example, our social justice policies,
04:05the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform,
04:08that's a social justice program.
04:10The Fisheries Code,
04:12that's really for the poor.
04:14In terms of implementation,
04:16our implementation is a bit slow
04:20in the distribution of land,
04:22which is also very important.
04:24Because up until now,
04:26there are still lands that are not distributed.
04:34We're talking about the legislative agenda
04:36of your council.
04:38What are your recommendations
04:40or policies that can be done
04:42by different government agencies
04:44to help the women's sector?
04:46There are laws,
04:50but in terms of monitoring,
04:53how the laws are implemented,
04:56even the programs,
04:58we really need to pursue that.
05:01Let's see if these policies,
05:05these programs,
05:06how can they be helpful,
05:08especially for women.
05:10It's different for women to experience poverty
05:15compared to men.
05:17Because of their duties,
05:23how society views women
05:27compared to men.
05:30Like for example,
05:31the farmers.
05:32When you say farmers,
05:34what's the first thing that comes to mind?
05:36It's like men,
05:37it's already in our minds.
05:39But it's a big job
05:41that women farmers have
05:44in farming.
05:45For example,
05:46looking for capital,
05:50the land,
05:51that's important.
05:53Then they also have a job
05:55in housework.
05:57Because they can't farm
05:59or go to work
06:01if the housework
06:03is not done.
06:05But it's in the hands of women.
06:09So it's not just economic poverty,
06:15but even time poverty.
06:18There's not enough time.
06:19They don't have time for themselves,
06:22to look after their health,
06:24or to rest.
06:27With the work that women do,
06:29I think they really deserve
06:31that the programs of the governments
06:34can also be given to our women.
06:37Talking about that,
06:38gender and development,
06:39and I understand,
06:40every government agency
06:42has a budget for God.
06:45So what are your recommendations
06:48on how to really utilize
06:50this budget for our women?
06:53Yes, because it's in our law.
06:57At least 5% of the agency's budget,
07:02even state universities,
07:04can be used to address gender issues.
07:09So first of all,
07:10you need to study the situation.
07:12For example,
07:13if you're from the Department of Agriculture
07:17or the Department of Agrarian Reform,
07:19what are the issues of women
07:21when it comes to agrarian reform
07:26or agriculture?
07:27Are they in debt?
07:30Do they experience violence?
07:33Why can't they attend training?
07:36That's why you need to look at the situation.
07:39That's called gender audit
07:41or gender analysis.
07:43Gender analysis will inform the plan.
07:47It's not enough if there are only men and women.
07:52It should be gender.
07:53There should be issues
07:56like why are they being left out?
07:59Why is society looking down on them?
08:02Why can't they participate
08:04in decision-making bodies?
08:07There are data.
08:08That's why you really need to study
08:11and pay attention.
08:15Okay.
08:16National Women's Month,
08:17our theme is women in all sectors
08:20will rise tomorrow in the new Philippines.
08:24With this,
08:25what message do you want to convey
08:27to our women
08:29and to other organizations,
08:32government agencies,
08:33and when we talk about convergence,
08:36why is it also important
08:37when we talk about these programs for women?
08:41Women really play a big role in our society
08:45from our homes to our communities
08:49to the whole society
08:51because half of our population
08:53are women.
08:55The mere number of women
08:58but we still need to raise the number of women
09:03up to their rights
09:06because they play a big role
09:08in raising children.
09:13They also play a big role
09:14in the development of the community
09:17because they know.
09:18But their perspective is different.
09:21Their work is also different.
09:23It's important to have convergence.
09:26Governments,
09:30civil society organizations,
09:33and people's organizations
09:34need to work together
09:38to help each other
09:40because the problem of poverty
09:41is not simple.
09:43We really need to help
09:47so that poverty can be solved.
09:53I hope that we will rise up
09:55and we will not be left behind
09:57because in Asian countries,
09:59we are left behind
10:03compared to other countries.
10:05So that we can really rise up
10:07from poverty,
10:08we need help.
10:10We also need women
10:12to join organizations,
10:14to know their rights,
10:16to study,
10:18to participate in studies,
10:23to be involved
10:25so that when women
10:28and other sectors
10:31come together,
10:32we can be a stronger force.
10:34That's a good point
10:35to end this conversation.
10:36Us women,
10:38let's join forces.
10:40Let's empower ourselves
10:41so that we can participate
10:43in programs and policy crafting
10:46because we know our problems
10:49and we can suggest solutions
10:51for these problems.
10:52Thank you very much
10:53for your time
10:55in our program.
