The College of Humanities and Social Sciences held public events from 27 February 2023 until 2 March 2023 on the theme, "Pag-aralan ang Lipunan, Hamunin ang Kinabukasan!" (Study Society, Challenge the Future!). The CHSS Week is an offering for the 28th UP Mindanao Anniversary.

Prof. Karen Joyce Cayamanda of the UPMin Department of Humanities produced this publication to provide the public with insight into the experience of the flood-vulnerable communities of Davao City, Philippines. The publication was the product of a dissertation for a Ph.D. in Development Studies program. The major objective of the publication is for the academe to assist in mitigating the dangers posed by flooding as a recurring disturbance in these sites.
As extensive literature on disaster studies examined risk communication and disaster risk management, it has been found to be discussed as separate concerns. These studies emphasize the significant role of risk communication and management at the level of the communities to enhance community preparedness and reduce the risks triggered by disasters like flooding. However, no literature has been found specifically in the area of risk communication management. Therefore, the study aimed to focus on this gap in the literature that integrates risk communication with disaster risk management towards a more integrative approach to risk reduction.
Using a convergent parallel mixed method design, the study was conducted utilizing both the qualitative and quantitative approaches in the data collection and analysis guided by the integrated frameworks of disaster risk management and the social amplification of risk (SARF). The merging of both analysis and interpretation results helped identify the findings' convergence or divergence. Results of the study revealed that the risk reduction strategies can be further enhanced through a risk communication management using a localized and participatory approach in the proper knowledge transfer of flood risk communication among the stakeholders involved, placing the community as the central actor for amplification.
This book highlights the proposed community-based flood-risk communication management (CBFRCM) framework as a modification of the SARF labeled as the Flood Risk Amplification Communication Theory (FRACT) as an alternative framework. Applying the theory necessitates enhancing risk communication management toward the resilience of flood-vulnerable communities, specifically in the context of Davao City, Philippines.
The authors wish to share these findings to encourage the use of the proposed theory in other contexts and optimize the role of risk communication as part of the risk reduction approaches of risk managers and policymakers on disaster management.
The book contributes to good governance, participatory decision-making, city disaster risk-reduction, and health risk-reduction, through a collaboration between UPMin's researchers and the city government.
Former UP Mindanao chancellor and retired Department of Humanities professor Ricardo M. de Ungria has published a book, “Kalandrakas: Stories and Storytellers of/on Regions in Mindanao, 1890 – 1990. A Preliminary and Continuing Survey and Literary Mapping.” MindaNews announced the book in a news article on February 25, 2023, in conjunction with the book launch on February 27, 2023.

UP Mindanao’s anthropologists pondered on the presence of maritime traditions and images in the narratives of mountain tribes in the southern Philippines island of Mindanao at “Kapuluan: Anthropology in the Archipelago,” the annual Philippine UGAT conference in October 2022.
In Panel 1D, “`Islands’ in the highlands,” held on October 26, Associate Professor Myfel Paluga and Assistant Professor Andrea Malaya Ragragio of the Department of Social Sciences guided colleagues in reconstructing and imagining spaces in Mindanao’s Pantaron mountain range through the indigenous peoples’ epic narratives and practices.
Using data from ritual practices, historical materials, and epic narratives, the panel gleaned resonances of the Austronesian maritime traditions and images that persisted in the memories of tribes in the upland “Pantaron Zone” of Mindanao.
Among the upland “Ata/Manobo” residents, the presence of a vessel figure called “balangoy” or “sagimbal” is part of the ritual “pag-ugpo,” alongside figures of a house, rice, fish, betel-nut, and spirit companions, which represents a mythic space for the tribe’s decision-making.
In an oral narrative from the Talaingod highland of the Pantaron range, a datu (tribe chief) appears from distant Arakan (a present-day municipality in North Cotabato Province, central Mindanao), which implies links of “imagined communities” across geographically-distant locations through marital links, economic practices, and others.
Asst. Prof. Kenette Jean Millondaga contributed to a study of the Tuwaang-type epic genre, which is documented to be widely shared from Bukidnon to North Cotabato (both in central Mindanao) to Davao del Norte (southeastern Mindanao).
Finally, the late Emmanuel Nabayra, Jr. contributes to a study on “Agyu,” a hero in a Dibabawon tribe epic, “Sewatan ni Lumuganod,” which is discussed in relation to other tribal personalities and themes of landscapes, values, and laws.
