Inaul: Weaving Peaceful Stories in Maguindanao

Image
Coming from Maguindanao, I always have to explain to my friends that Maguindanao is peaceful. I would always tell other people that Maguindanao is more than headlines about negative news we see on TV or on the internet. It is rare to hear good stories and narratives about the province so I had to be an unofficial ambassador with my key message:  "For the most part of Maguindanao, it is peaceful and the people have creative skills and talents that need to be shared." Echoing my personal message, the recent celebration of the 3rd Inaul Festival is proof how big the potential of the locals are. The festival showcased to the nation what Maguindanao can offer.

“South Korea’s Refugee Policies: National and Human Security Perspectives”: A Review and Analysis

Image
This academic essay was written for a school paper assignment in grad school.  Introduction             The global refugee crisis has been more prevalent over the past years. With the continuous outbreak of conflict in certain parts of the world, it has been reported that over 26 million people are displaced and seeking refuge in other countries (UNHCR 2020) . Among the host countries in Asia-Pacific, South Korea has the lowest acceptance rate according to World Data. Controversies have emerged regarding this East Asian country’s half-baked commitment to refugee response. The case of North Korean refuge seekers (defectors), however, is an exemption. In the article, “South Korea’s Refugee Policies: National and Human Security Perspectives”, Shin-wa Lee demonstrated the refugee policies of South Korea and its challenges of balancing national and human security.
