No wonder that Caraga Region is one of the most impoverished regions in the country. Hence, it ranked 4th among regions with high poverty incidence of families in 1997 and 2000. In Mindanao, Caraga has the 3rd highest poverty incidence. Malnutrition rates were also high at 49.25%, of which 34.05% were classified as mildly underweight, 11.66% as moderately underweight, 1.43% as severely underweight and 3.60% as overweight. Much like Bicol region, there are provinces in Caraga that are often visited by typhoons, droughts, flooding and saline intrusion. With these, the Department of Agriculture (DA) has requested the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to include Caraga in its Climate Change Adaptation Project that was implemented in Bicol. Thus, the Assessments of Climate Change Impacts and Mapping of Vulnerability to Food Insecurity under Climate Change to Strengthen Household Food Security with Livelihoods’ Adaptation Approaches (AMICAF): STEP 3 Project was established in Surigao del Norte. Preliminary activities were done in October 2012, through a joint collaboration of AMICAF, DA-Caraga, PhilRiceAgusan and the LGUs in the selected project sites.The target sites were based on the three major agroecosystems with abiotic-related problems: saline-prone, drought-prone and submergence or flood- prone. The saline-prone and drought-prone sites were located in the three adjacent municipalities of Bacuag, Gigaquit, and Claver. The flood-prone site was located in the municipality of Mainit, which is right beside Mainit Lake, the largest lake in Caraga region. The main objective of the project is to develop a package of rice production technologies for adverse agroecosystems in order to sustain and improve the farmers’ livelihood adaptation to climate change. Thus the project focused on the testing of various rice varieties, lines, and other relevant technologies and practices (e.g., rice-duck, MOET, LCC, etc.) in rice production in each specific adverse environment: flood-prone, saline-prone, and drought-prone. The first two seasons were devoted in the establishment of Techno Demo Farms (TDFs) and the conduct of Climate-Smart FFS. In the first cropping season, a total of nine trials were set-up under the AMICAF project. Of these, six were TDFs (3 saline-prone, 2 drought-prone, 1 flood-prone) and three were rice-duck pilot plots. The most outstanding result of the project was the high yield of many GSR lines in all agro-ecosystems. For example, under the drought-prone environment site #1, the GSR lines HHZ5-SAL14-SAL2-Y2 and HHZ12- DT10-SAL1-DT1 obtained the highest yield of 7.7 t/ha and 7.6 t/ha, respectively. In drought-prone site #2, the GSR lines HHZ5-SAL14-SAL2-Y2, HHZ8-SAL6-SAL3-Y2 and HHZ12-DT10-SAL1-DT1, were the top yielders at 7.1 t/ha, 7.0 t/ha, and 6.8 t/ha, respectively. Meanwhile, in the saline-prone areas, the GSR lines that obtained high yields of 4.6 t/ha to 5.7 t/ha were the following: HHZ5-SAL8-DT3-SUB1, HHZ5- SAL14-SAL2-Y2,and HHZ12-DT10-SAL1-DT1. v 5 One important component of the TDF was the conduct of FFS which was done once a week in the demo area. This was facilitated by the LGU agricultural technologists with the close supervision by the AMICAF Project Assistant. The FFS curriculum of PalayCheck System was utilized as main reference which was later on reinforced by the Climate-Smart FFS Flip Chart developed by AMICAF. In the second cropping season, only two old TDF sites were planted due to severe drought in the municipalities of Bacuag, Claver, and Gigaquit. This resulted in a very low yield of all rice entries which ranged from 0.5 t/ha to less than 2.0t/ha. However, in the flood-prone TDF site in Magpayang, Mainit, the yield of the GSR lines were relatively higher which ranged from 2,5-4.6 t/ha. Also during this cropping season, the four provinces of the region were able to conduct a GSR rice line adaptation trial. The seeds were provided by AMICAF through PhilRiceAgusan. Except for Surigao del Norte where the trial was hit by drought, yield results of all GSR

  • Oil Palm Expansion in the Philippines Analysis of Land Rights, Environment and Food Security Issues5
    Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples 4. Oil palm expansion in the Philippines Analysis of land rights, environment and food security issues5 Jo Villanueva Introduction In recent years, the unprecedented and rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, has spurred considerable concern in the light of its adverse impact on the environment, biodiversity, global warming, 5 This study has also been published as a chapter in “Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: Trends and Implications for Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples. (FPP & SawitWatch 2011). Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples the displacement of local (and indigenous) communities, the erosion of traditional livelihoods, and the undermining of indigenous peoples and workers‟ rights. In Indonesia, oil palm expansion has contributed to deforestation, peat degradation, loss of biodiversity, ravaging forest fires and a wide range of unresolved social conflicts. In Sarawak, Malaysia, the impact of oil palm includes loss and destruction of forest resources, unequal profit-sharing, water pollution and soil nutrient depletion. In the midst of the increasing profitability of palm oil in the world market, the versatility of its by- products and its potential as a source of biomass in the food and manufacturing industry, a raging debate has ensued between and amongst civil society and industry members over whether palm oil is a necessary evil or whether the costs of this industry on lives, land and environment far outweigh its worth. Although considered a fledgling industry in the Philippine agribusiness sector and while its size is certainly small compared to the millions of hectares of oil palm plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, the Philippines has been cultivating and processing palm oil for the past three decades.

  • Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines
    Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines Asuncion B. De Guzman, Alita E. Openiano, Marilou M. Ologuin and Jeanette J. Samson Mindanao State University at Naawan, 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Mainit is an important natural resource shared by two provinces in northern Mindanao, Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Norte, notable for being the deepest and the fourth largest lake in the Philippines. This wetland ecosystem supports a thriving freshwater fishery and the livelihood of more than 4,000 fishers. At least 19 types of traditional and ingenious modifications of fishing gears are used. On the average Lake Mainit fishers earn an estimated monthly income of Php4,340 which falls below the poverty threshold for an average family in rural Philippines. Part of a comprehensive resource assessment project in Lake Mainit is a socio- economic profiling and appraisal of the numerous intervention programs in fisheries management and livelihood development introduced into the lakeshore communities in an attempt to improve the ecological and socio-economic situation around the lake. The results of this assessment will provide the scientific basis for formulating a comprehensive fisheries management plan for Lake Mainit that shall, in turn, be integrated into the Lake Mainit Development Alliance (LMDA) development agenda to help restore Lake Mainit fisheries to sustainable levels by addressing issues on declining water quality, regulation of fishing effort, and decreasing fisher income. Keywords: Lake Mainit, socio-economics, management issues, intervention programs, LMDA. INTRODUCTION Lake Mainit is an ecologically important resource within two provincial jurisdictions in the Caraga Region, namely, Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte, bordered by eight municipalities that comprise the Lake Mainit Watershed (Fig.

From 4.2 percent in December 2018, it declined by 0.5 percentage point in January 2019 at 3.7 percent (Figure 1) . It further decelerated in the succeeding months, registering 3.3 percent in February and 2.9 percent in March. This improvement was primarily due to the slow movement in the monthly increment in the price Source: PSA Caraga indices of heavily-weighted commodity groups, such as food and non-alcoholic beverages; Figure 2. Inflation Rate by Province housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels; and transport. The importation of rice somehow averted the further increase in the market price of rice in the locality. In addition, the provision of government subsidies particularly to vulnerable groups (i.e. DOTr’s Pantawid Pasada Program) and free tuitions under Republic Act No.

  • Indigenous Religion, Institutions and Rituals of the Mamanwas of Caraga Region, Philippines
    Asian Journal of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Vol. 1, No.1, 2013 INDIGENOUS RELIGION, INSTITUTIONS AND RITUALS OF THE MAMANWAS OF CARAGA REGION, PHILIPPINES Ramel D. Tomaquin College of Arts and Sciences Surigao del Sur State University Tandag City, Philippines Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Mamanwas, one of the IP communities of Caraga region. Said to be one of the original settlers of Caraga and considered the Negrito group of Mindanao. Only very few literatures and studies written about them. Despite of massive acculturation of other IP groups of the region such the Agusan-Surigao Manobos, the Mansaka/Mandaya, Banwaon, Higaanon and Talaandig. The Mamanwas still on the process of integration to Philippine body-politic. It is in this scenario they were able to retain indigenous religion, institutions and rituals. Thus the study was conducted. It covers on the following sites: Mt. Manganlo in Claver, Lake Mainit in Alegria both Surigao Del Norte, Hitaob in Tandag City, Lubcon and Burgus in Cortes and Sibahay in Lanuza of Surigao Del Sur respectively. The study used ethnographic method with strict adherence of the right of pre- informed consent in accordance with RA 8371 or Indigenous Peoples Right Act of 1997. It can be deduced from the paper that despite of socio- cultural changes of the IP’s of Caraga the Mamanwas were able to retain these practices but for how long? Moreover, socio-cultural change is slowly taking place in the Mamanwa social milieu. Preservation of these worldviews is wanting as a part of national heritage and for posterity.

    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOLUME XXIII NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1925 Editor CLARK WISSLER FOREWORD Louis ROBERT SULLIVAN Since this volume is largely the work of the late Louis Robert Sulli- van, a biographical sketch of this able anthropologist, will seem a fitting foreword. Louis Robert Sullivan was born at Houlton, Maine, May 21, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Houlton and was graduated from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, in 1914. During the following academic year he taught in a high school and on November 24, 1915, he married Bessie Pearl Pathers of Lewiston, Maine. He entered Brown University as a graduate student and was assistant in zoology under Professor H. E. Walters, and in 1916 received the degree of master of arts. From Brown University Mr. Sullivan came to the American Mu- seum of Natural History, as assistant in physical anthropology, and during the first years of his connection with the Museum he laid the foundations for his future work in human biology, by training in general anatomy with Doctor William K. Gregory and Professor George S. Huntington and in general anthropology with Professor Franz Boas. From the very beginning, he showed an aptitude for research and he had not been long at the Museum ere he had published several important papers. These activities were interrupted by our entrance into the World War. Mr. Sullivan was appointed a First Lieutenant in the Section of Anthropology, Surgeon-General's Office in 1918, and while on duty at headquarters asisted in the compilation of the reports on Defects found in Drafted Men and Army Anthropology.
