Abstract

This study shows significant roles of the grassroots People's Organizations (POs), formed by fisherfolks and farmers in the recovery after 2013 Typhoon Yolanda in Medellin and Bantayan Island in the Philippines. We found that varied roles of POs post-disasters are important for receiving and assisting project implementations, encouraging independence among members, and providing solutions to community issues, i.e. poverty and development. Moreover, POs provide vitality and inspiration to members. POs can be associations for the “next society” since it is free from constraint and united personally. POs can become more open and inclusive through POs' activities and interactions with NGOs.
