Ideological roots of Philippine social welfare

Nilan G. Yu

University of South Australia, University of the Philippines, nilan_yu{at}yahoo.com

English

Mainstream accounts of Philippine social welfare history trace its roots to welfare initiatives under centuries of colonial rules without pointing out their ideological implications. This article argues that the so-called advances nurtured ideological elements now embedded in contemporary Philippine social welfare and social work that should be critically analysed.

French

Les récits historiques majoritaires sur le bien-être social aux Philippines en font découvrir les racines dans les initiatives d'aide entreprises pendant les centaines d'années de régime colonial, sans que soient démontrées leurs implications idéologiques. Cet article suggère que les soi-disant progrès ont contribué à nourrir des éléments idéologiques aujourd'hui ancrés dans le bien-être social et les services sociaux des Philippines. L'auteur recommande une analyse critique de cette situation.

Spanish

Las discusiones dominantes de la historia del estado de beneficencia en las Filipinas trazan sus raíces a las iniciativas de beneficencia bajo dominación colonial, pero lo hacen sin mencionar las implicaciones ideológicas. Este artículo argumenta que las llamadas ventajas fomentan elementos ideológicos que se encuentran incorporados en el estado de beneficencia y trabajo social contemporáneo filipino los cuales deberían ser analizados críticamente.
