Dialogue on Vaccination Incentives and Social Expectations of Brgy. Taocanga

Mayor Jon Marco M. Dayanghirang with Dr. Abelardo C. Bantayan and Pastors agreed to provide information and shaping social expectations and incentives could both significantly increase vaccine uptake in Barangay Taocanga. To understand how mass vaccination campaigns can overcome individuals’ hesitancy, Mayor Jon Marco M. Dayanghirang leverage socio scientific theoretical frameworks that highlight how information and collective action problems can inhibit individually and socially optimal behaviors. The information transmission problem, whereby individuals lack exposure to credible information about the private costs and benefits of vaccination, may decrease vaccine willingness among risk-averse and uninformed individuals. Indeed, emerging COVID-19 research predominantly in the upper barangays of the Municipality of Manay has suggested that vaccine willingness is responsive to both expert information and misinformation, although corrective messaging regarding vaccines for other diseases has produced less sanguine effects. It is thus important to establish whether and what type of information about COVID-19 vaccines can increase vaccine acceptance.

DAGMAY
The traditional handwoven textile of Mandaya, is made of lanot (abaca fibers, Musa textilis) using the abl'lun (backstrap loom). Weaving the "dagmay" has been passed on from one generation to another. Children, during their free time, help their mothers to segregate and knot the abaca fibers. When their feet can reach the siknan (foot brace) of the loom, the young girls are allowed to continue what their mothers and grandmothers have started to weave. Those who are willing to learn would stay by their mothers' side to observe and copy what their mothers are doing. Motifs and designs of the dagmay are mostly anthropomorphic and zoomorphic. The reptile is respected as shown by the regularity with which it appears in their design. Dagmay is not just an ordinary cloth; every design is considered sacred and a gift by the Tagamaling (spirit). Weavers would offer rituals to the Magbabaya (deity) to give them clear visions of the designs and concentration when laying the patterns. They would usually chew on betel nuts and burn ashes near them as part of their ritual. At present, the Mandaya weavers in Davao Oriental would mix commercial cotton with abaca to save time in preparing the materials and in weaving. At times, they also mix the commercial and natural dyes to make the colors look brighter and prevent the colors from fading away/fast.
