“…Bayanihan has been described by Bankoff (2003) as “toiling on another’s behalf and assuming another’s burdens” (p. 168) whilst Cox and Cox (2016) refer to bayanihan as “a cultural immune system that heals over wounds […] allowing life to carry on” (p. 48). Bayanihan was first referenced in relation to the communal effort in agricultural communities however “the tradition has diffused throughout Filipino society and is an expression of team spirit and sharing of labour” (Beza et al , 2018, p. 142). The bonding inherent in these norms is akin to social capital and fosters thick trust within communities.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of disaster rehabilitation interventions on bonding social capital in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda. Design/methodology/approach The data from the project are drawn from eight barangays in Tacloban City, the Philippines. Local residents and politicians were surveyed and interviewed to examine perceptions of resilience and community self-help. Findings The evidence shows that haphazard or inequitable distribution of relief goods and services generated discontent within communities. However, whilst perceptions of community cooperation and self-help are relatively low, perceptions of resilience are relatively high. Research limitations/implications This research was conducted in urban communities after a sudden large-scale disaster. The findings are not necessarily applicable in the rural context or in relation to slow onset disasters. Practical implications Relief agencies should think more carefully about the social impact of the distribution of relief goods and services. Inequality can undermine community level cooperation. Social implications A better consideration of social as well as material capital in the aftermath of disaster could help community self-help, resilience and positive adaptation. Originality/value This study draws on evidence from local communities to contradict the overarching rhetoric of resilience in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda.

“…Abad (2005) found that cooperation, as a communal coping mechanism akin to bonding social capital, is based on cultural norms such as bayanihan as opposed to associational regulations. Although bayanihan was first referenced in relation to the communal effort in agricultural communities ‘the tradition has diffused throughout Filipino society and is an expression of team spirit and sharing of labour’ (Beza et al ., 2018: 142). However, with increasing migration and emergence of new social actors into communities, networks were diluted and trust eroded, resulting in the weakening of bayanihan.…”

Typhoon Yolanda brought major devastation to the local communities and infrastructure and also reshaped social structures and networks in the Philippines.During the immediate recovery process, bridging, bonding and linking social capital have had differential impacts and outcomes on how communities cope with the aftermath of the disaster. This paper investigates the interplay between the various types of social capital and their contributions to immediate coping strategies of Typhoon Yolanda communities. This paper also evaluates the complexity of defining social capital in a disaster context. In particular, it unpacks the blurring of the bridging and linking social capital at the immediate stage of rehabilitation in a post disaster context and its impacts on the social fabric of the communities. We deduce from this case study the social capital strategies necessary for a speedy recovery process both economically and socially for disaster-affected communities.
