National Conference on CBMS National Conference on CBMS Session 4 Use of CBMS for Preparation of Development Plans and Socioeconomic Profiles CBMS: The San Vicente Proportion of households with Experience access to sanitary toilet facilities By Ms. Lucylyn Panagsagan Assistant Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Municipality of San Vicente, Northern Palawan September 23-24, 2004 Dusit Hotel Nikko Makati City, Philippines This conference is organized by the CBMS Network Coordinating Team of the Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies with the aid of a grant from International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada. Community Based Monitoring System Report INTRODUCTION The Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) was initiated and introduced by the Provincial Government in 1999 through Executive Order No. 15 – “Directing the Institutionalization of the CBMS under the Micro Impact of Macro Adjustment Policies (MIMAP) Project in Palawan” and Executive Order No. 03, 2002 – “Enjoining the Use of the CBMS results as basis in the Formulation of Barangay, Municipal and Provincial Development Plans and Redefining the Local Planning Process” . The municipal government of San Vicente in compliance to Executive Orders 15 and 03, adopted and utilized the system since 1999. Consequently, municipal wide household surveys had been conducted, first in year 2000 using 1999 baseline data and the second was conducted in 2002 with 2001 as base year. These surveys were spearheaded by the Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) with assistance from Center for International Migration and Development (CIM) Integrated Experts Program and Micro Impacts of Macroeconomic Adjustment Policies (MIMAP) Project Philippines in partnership with the Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO). This economic tool aims to gauge the living condition of each household in the municipality using more than twenty (20) development indicators/variables from all development sectors. The CBMS Municipal Report contains the history, physical features and current data of the welfare status of the ten (10) barangays of the municipality by development sector: demography, economic, security and shelter, water and sanitation, social services, infrastructure and utilities and political participation. The report uses tables for easy comprehension. It presents the distribution and the disparities of the ten (10) barangays for each indicator to show the degree to which the household populations are satisfied. Likewise, comparison from previous to present data is also presented to evaluate the changes of the indicators. The CBMS serves as a planning device to increase the level of awareness and the understanding of the community, private and government agencies for discussion and identification of development interventions and polices to be used in preparation of short term, medium and long term plans. For more than four (4) years, the system has been a major tool in achieving the local government’s goal of improving the economic and social welfare of the people of San Vicente by identifying the concerns and needs of the constituents through community based approach from which development effort of the LGU is being focused. However, with LGU’s limited resources, not all identified programs San Vicente, Palawan Community Based Monitoring System Report and projects are being implemented but it can still be useful data source for the provincial, national and other sponsoring agencies to realize the needed interventions/projects. As the planning and coordinative body at the municipal level, the MPDO is responsible in the implementation of CBMS programs being the primary source of data bank profile in the municipality. It is where CBMS data are prepared, analyzed and processed to be used for planning purposes. Using these data, the local government is able to design and formulate plans based on the existing situations at the barangay level. These plans include the Municipal Comprehensive Land and Water Use Plan of San Vicente which was approved in 2003, using 2000 CBMS data, the Barangay Comprehensive Land Use Plans of the nine (9) barangays which is now currently in progress, using 2002 CBMS data and other studies such as the feasibility study on water system project for the four (4) barangays which are now operational and the municipal and barangay profiles. San Vicente, Palawan Community Based Monitoring System Report History In 1952, the migrants form Manamoc in the island of Cuyo arrived in a place called Malagnang (meaning muddy), a sitio of Kemdeng which was formerly a part of Puerto Princesa City. The first to arrive were the Dandal brothers (anastacio, Ricardo and Lauro), Alberto Radam and Marcelino Gadiano with their respective families. Later, the relatives of the first settlers followed. Among themselves, they elected Anastacio Dandal as their first barrio lieutenant. Soon enough, the Agutaynens and Cuyunens increased in number. A disagreement between the two ethnic groups arose. The cause of the disagreement was the choice of the barrio’s patron saint. The Cuyunens wanted Saint Vincent Ferrer, while the Agutaynens wanted Saint Isidro Labrador. The people then decided to resolve the issue by choosing the town patron by lot. The name of Saint Vincent Ferrer was drawn; thus the name Malagnang was changed to San Vicente. In 1969, Mr. Lauro Dandal ( a former barrio captain) sought the assistance of the late Mayor Donato Mangga of Puerto Princesa in the establishment of San Vicente as municipality. Mayor Napoloen Ordonez of Taytay supported this move. Later, the Municipal Council of Puerto Princesa passed Resolution No. 871-71 (22 May 1972) for the separation of San Vicente from Puerto Princesa including the areas to be covered by the proposed municipality of San Vicente. The Municipal Council of Taytay also passed Resolution No. 48 (June 1972) apportioning some of its territories to San Vicente. Subsequently, all the pertinent documents were submitted to Congress for legislation. Congressman Ramon V. Mitra, Jr. of Palawan presented a bill to Congress for the creation of the municipality of San Vicente. Mr. Dandal took the pains in exerting much effort, time and his own resources in making follow-ups at the Congress particularly at the office of Cong. Mitra until the bill was approved. Thus, by virtue of Republic Act 5821 (21 June 1969), the municipality of San Vicente was created. However, it officially functioned only on 1 January 1972. Mayoralty election soon followed within that year. The first elected San Vicente, Palawan Community Based Monitoring System Report mayor was Mayor Digno Pablico. He served from 1972 to 1979. Later, he was replaced by Mayor Daniel F. Yayen who was appointed by former President Ferdinand E. Marcos to serve an unexpired term. In January 1980, Mayor Yayen was elected to the same post to become the second elected mayor. The same thing happened to Mayor Antonio C. Alvarez who was appointed mayor in 1986 by then President Corazon C. Aquino and was elected mayor in 1988, and re-elected in 1992 and 1995. Mayor Alejandro A. Villapando is the fourth elected mayor of the municipality in May 11, 1998 Election. However, he served for barely one (1) year and eleven (11) months (removed from office) due to administrative case filed by the Sanggunian thus, on June 16, 2000, Hon. Ramir R. Pablico, elected Vice Mayor, took oath and assumed the vacated position. He served from June 16, 2000 to June 30, 2001. In the National and Local Elections on May 11, 2001, Mayor Antonio V. Gonzales was elected and became the fifth mayor of the municipality. Three years after, he was reelected to the same post during the May 11, 2004 Elections. Presently, he is the Local Chief Executive who leads the administration and on his way to serving another term.

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • The Birds of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and World Heritage Site, Palawan Province, Philippines, Including Accounts of Breeding Seabird Population Trends ARNE E
    FORKTAIL 32 (2016): 72–85 The birds of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and World Heritage Site, Palawan province, Philippines, including accounts of breeding seabird population trends ARNE E. JENSEN & ANGELIQUE SONGCO Data on the seabird population of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Palawan province, Philippines, which lies in the Sulu Sea, date back to 1911. However, regular surveys and monitoring began only in 1997 and have resulted in a wealth of new information. An annotated list of the 106 recorded species is presented and changes in the population of the seven breeding seabird species and the factors that influence such changes are discussed. From an estimated 13,500 breeding seabirds in 1981, the population decreased to less than a third of that number in 2003, with the only Philippine population of Masked Booby Sula dactylatra being extirpated in 1995. Thanks to strict enforcement of a no-visitor policy from 1997, the population increased to around 32,300 birds in 2013. The park is the only known breeding area of the subspecies worcesteri of Black Noddy Anous minutus. It hosts the largest breeding colonies of Brown Booby Sula leucogaster, Greater Crested Tern Thalasseus bergii and Brown Noddy A. stolidus, and the second-largest populations of Red-footed Booby Sula sula and Sooty Tern Onychoprion fuscatus, in the Philippine archipelago. Data on other breeding sites of these species in the archipelago are included. Two new species for the Philippines, 14 new species for Palawan province and four globally threatened species, including the Critically Endangered Christmas Frigatebird Fregata andrewsi, together with first Philippine records of Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava tschutschensis and M.

  • Mangrove Assessment in Manamoc Island for Coastal Retreat Mitigation
    Journal of Marine and Island Cultures, v7n1 — Martinez & Buot Mangrove assessment in Manamoc Island for coastal retreat mitigation Mylene R. Martinez Inocencio E. Buot Jr. (corresponding author) School of Environmental Science and Management, University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna School of Environmental Science and Management, University of Institute of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna [email protected] Faculty of Management and Development Studies, University of the Philippines Open University, Los Baños, Laguna Publication Information: Received 5 April 2018, Accepted 11 May 2018, Available online 30 June 2018 DOI: 10.21463/jmic.2018.07.1.05 Abstract Manamoc Island is experiencing coastline retreat and is in urgent need of economical mitigating measures. This study explored the role of mangroves in the mitigation of coastal retreat in Manamoc Island. Assessment of mangroves through standard vegetation analysis was done in relation to the topography and coastal dynamics prevalent in Manamoc Island. Time series analysis of sand and mangrove cover change was carried out to determine the role of mangroves in coastal retreat mitigation. Cluster analysis revealed five clusters named after the dominant species: Cluster I – Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh.; Cluster II – Bruguiera sexangula (Lour.) Poir.; Cluster III – Rhizophora apiculata Blume and Rhizophora mucronata Lam.; Cluster IV – Rhizophora mucronata Lam.; and Cluster V – Sonneratia alba J. Smith. The clustering pattern followed that of typical mangrove zonation landward, middleward, and seaward although with a relatively short width. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that environmental factors like soil texture, pH, N, and P influenced mangrove distribution in Manamoc Island.
