This work exposed me to the different landscapes of development in ten provinces of the country.  In July 1982-83, I worked as a technical consultant of the Planning Office of the Southern Luzon Polytechnic College &#8211; as part of the contract that I signed with the Ministry of Natural Resources, the government agency that provided me with a scholarship grant during my four-year stay in UPLB.  In August 1983, I applied for admission to the MA program in Geography at the University of Hawaii.  I got a scholarship from the East-West Center\u2019s Environment and Policy Institute; it financed my MA in Geography which I finished in 1985.  That year, I got married to Boy Nantes.  I delivered my only daughter, Joey (Maria Josefa) on May 18, 1987.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div style=\"width: 330px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Dee with her husband and daughter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/upvarrons.org\/Images\/Doracie_family.jpg?resize=320%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dee with her husband and daughter\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dee with her husband and daughter<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I was hired by the Department of Geography in UP Diliman as a faculty member in 1986.  I taught geography and social science courses and did research on a number of agrarian-related issues in Central Luzon for five years in UP Diliman.  In 1992, I got a Fulbright scholarship grant and pursued my PhD in Geography in Rutgers University in New Jersey.  I was finished with my academics and dissertation writing in 1997 but my family was not ready to go back to <span class=\"style9\">Pilipinas<\/span> yet <em>kasi napakaganda ng<\/em> academic performance <em>ng anak namin<\/em>.  I delayed my dissertation defense for two years para makompleto ng anak namin ang elementary education niya and to be able to stay legally in the US.  In the meantime, I taught, as an instructor, in the Department of Geography in Rutgers and at the College of Human Ecology at the Douglass College.  I also worked as a supervisor of the Learning Resource Center in Rutgers from 1995-1999. <em>Yong<\/em> office <em>ko doon ang pinakamagandang office na naenjoy ko sa buong buhay ko<\/em> &#8211; a corner room on the fourth floor, glass walls, <em>ang ganda ng<\/em> vista, <em>yong pwedeng tirhan<\/em>.  <em>Babaw ano?<\/em> Then, I noticed that my daughter was becoming Americanized.  I wanted her to know more of her roots so I yearned of coming home.  I defended my dissertation and got my PhD in Geography in October of 1999.  My daughter and I went home in October of 1999 and resumed my teaching in Diliman.  My husband followed us a year after when he realized that I was really serious with my decision to live here permanently.  Now my daughter is very Filipino in character, and yet with very noticeable traces of western influences.  Regrets? <em>Siguro meron noong una<\/em>.

My areas of interest in geography? Geographies of development, gender, rural-urban interactions and transformations, and vulnerability of marginal groups to environmental hazards.<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em>Are there issues related to the environment that you and\/or the other faculty members of your department are pursuing?<\/em><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nI am now working on three interrelated research projects that address different environmental concerns: the Challenges of Agrarian Transition in Southeast Asia (CHATSEA), the Philippines-Australia Land Administration and Management Project(LAMP) and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies(GRIPS) projects.  For the CHATSEA project, we look at the environmental and socio-economic changes that are taking place in the rapidly urbanizing rural areas in Southeast Asia in the context of globalization, market integration, environmental transformations and population migrations.  I collaborate with seventeen other social scientists (mostly geographers) from other universities in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand) and research and academic institutions in Canada, the UK and Australia. The project duration of CHATSEA is from 2005-2010 and this is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada.  The main objective of this project is to entice graduate students to do their field research on issues that pertain to the changing agricultural landscapes.  Not many researchers are paying attention to this set of concerns nowadays.  Bulk of the funding is oriented at supporting the graduate work of my thesis advisees.<\/p>\n<p>The LAMP-administered project is a small-grant undertaking that I particularly like.  The research looks at the implications of the increasing number of urban-based absentee-landowners on land reform implementation and agricultural productivity at the barangay scale.  I will be doing this from January to May 2008 in the province of Quezon.  I would like to highlight the assistance on data provision that sis <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Tess Dejelo-Bernardo (Monosomic &#8217;76)<\/span> and <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Luchie Atienza-Campomanes (Ikatlong Bahagi &#8217;78)<\/span> have been extending me on this project.  <span class=\"style8\">Iba pag may mga sis ka sa<\/span> government offices, <span class=\"style7\">mas madali mag-research, may data na may masayang kuwentuhan pa.  Wala akong malaking<\/span> research honorarium <span class=\"style7\">dito, pangcover lang ng<\/span> logistics, <span class=\"style7\">pero yong dalawang RAs ko meron siempre<\/span>.   This project allows me to cooperate with two of my former students in the BS Geography program; this is part of the mentoring process that occupies most of my working time.  I have been doing this for the past three years and I will continue doing this in the next four or five years pa.  <span class=\"style7\">Tapos nito, gusto ko na ding kumita ng pera kasi, nasakit na ang mga kalamnan ko at mga joints, tumatanda na din ako.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I am also doing a survey on seismic risk perception among 800 residents of Barangay West Rambo in Makati City.  This is a short-term survey activity (from January 15 to March 15, 2008)  that I am doing to help a colleague from the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Tokyo, Japan.  <span class=\"style7\">Wala akong<\/span> additional earnings for doing this survey <span class=\"style7\">kasi tinutulungan ko lang kaibigan ko dito<\/span>. There was a problem with the study that he was undertaking in another country (I am not sure whether it\u2019s Pakistan or Indonesia), as part of his four-country study on seismic risk perception, so he asked me if I could help finish the project by holding a similar survey here in the Philippines.  In short, <span class=\"style7\">panakip-butas lang yong<\/span> participation <span class=\"style7\">ko dito<\/span>.   But it\u2019s okay, it will be productive for the residents of several local communities in Barangay West Rembo anyway.  Also, I assist another colleague to finish his research study.  More importantly, I am able to involve my senior and graduating geography students in a work activity that they can later include in their resume as neophyte job-seekers, <em>may kunting kita pa sila<\/em> as survey enumerators.<\/p>\n<p>Basing from these narratives, obvious <em>ba na ang<\/em> primary means ko pa rin of supporting my daily needs is my teaching in UP?  I love it when I am interacting with my students inside a UP classroom.  I appreciate learning from, and exchanging ideas with, them.

I explored spaces of vulnerability and adaptation that defined the three marginal groups\u2019 encounters with many flood-related hazards.  I looked and probed at the intersections of circumstances that were being faced by the young, female, poor, and other underrepresented groups in flooding situations.  I explored some spaces that elaborated on how these issues were addressed by various policy and decision-making groups at different time periods and scales.  Positive points that came out of this research?  I am not sure as to how my research findings were received by different groups who came across them.  Sana, people found something useful and relevant about what I wrote about those issues, and applied them in addressing some vulnerabilities that face the three different groups that I did my research on.  I learned a lot from this research.  I use my research findings as case materials for my classroom teaching\u2013 to orient my students to various realities that confront diverse groups of people in different places.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div style=\"width: 428px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Dee (seating in front center) with other Varrons.\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/upvarrons.org\/Images\/Doracie_varrons3.jpg?resize=418%2C312&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Doracie (seating in front center) with other Varrons.\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" width=\"418\" height=\"312\" align=\"right\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dee (seating in front center) with other Varrons.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em><strong>Objectively speaking, who are more environment-friendly &#8211; people in UP Diliman or in UP Los Banos?
