| Abstract | This research focused on post-disaster recovery experiences of two barangays previously located in the Volcano Island that were forcedly displaced because of the 2020 Taal Volcano eruption. This research conducted a thorough examination of existing studies that potentially explain the phenomenon known as disaster capitalism, the stages or patterns that surround it, and its relationship to resilience. This research also used the inductive approach, which applied grounded theory in data gathering and analysis. The manifestations of disaster capitalism were observed in major findings of the research. Disaster Capitalism is defined as the “orchestrated raids on the public sphere in the wake of catastrophic events, combined with the treatment of disasters as exciting market opportunities” (Klein, 2007). Lack of study, planning, and comprehensive program for the relocatees are disaster capitalism's idea to reduce investments, cost of social security, divest the community of assistance, and put it where the private sector will invest. It boils down to individual recovery, preparedness, and response. This research offered the Transformative Resilience Framework to debunk neoliberal resilience. Neoliberal resilience responsibilized (Besley, 2019) the social provision through the use of market rationality assigning it from state to individual. The Framework calls for a review of the current approaches that reinforce the responsibilization of resilience and naturalize this as a private domain of home. To change the centralized infrastructure-heavy recovery planning, the state and non-state actors can combine the agentic and institutional strategies of the transformative recovery perspective that included the rights-based approach in service delivery. A global exchange of ideas on developing transformative resilience based on community experiences is necessary to reveal disaster capitalism, learn from other experiences, and avoid it by updating the standards, polic |
