This indelibly marks the agency’s feats in continuously going past its mandated functions and emphasizes our innovations that make local technologies work for countryside development. With proactive promotion and implementation of its services in MIMAROPA, the Regional Office provided core support to local industries through technology integration. These initiatives make the Regional Office relevant as a service provider and as a virtual bridge for both its partners and clients across the island-provinces. I wish to take this opportunity to commend the organization and its various regional partners for their commitment and support to DOST’s 5-point program, an agenda that synergizes our efforts in seeking and maximizing scientific and technological opportunities for inclusive growth. I am positive that through our concerted efforts for timely and relevant S&T services, we will be able to transcend poverty and become a technology-centered economy. I strongly encourage DOST-MIMAROPA to sustain its service with excellence and eagerness in upholding the best interest of the common Filipino. Mabuhay! HON. MARIO G. MONTEJO Secretary Message from the Undersecretary y sincere felicitations to the management and staff of DOST-MIMAROPA for the publication of its 2011 Annual MReport. With only four years in service, the agency is by no means young in terms of what it has achieved. Since its creation in 2007, DOST-MIMAROPA continues to outperform its previous accomplishments while still managing to reinvent itself and increasingly posit a stronger S&T presence in the island-provinces. This report accounts for another year of quality services in the Region borne by the agency’s innovative leadership, perseverance, and resourcefulness. I wish to commend DOST-MIMAROPA for maintaining its ISO 9001:2008 certification indicative of its relentless pursuit for learning and improvement. It is also worth noting that aside from achieving major targets, the agency pioneered the establishment of the first Kitchen Incubator in MIMAROPA, if not the country, in Brooke’s Point, Palawan. The networks and linkages of the agency, local and abroad, are also to be emulated from given that these are now core competencies required, although not possessed, by many government institutions. May DOST-MIMAROPA continue to actively find new scientific and technological ways of accelerating economic growth in the countryside. Rest assured of our wholehearted support to your projects in all years to come. DR. CAROL M. YOROBE Undersecretary for Regional Operations Message from the Regional Director t is with great pride that I present to you DOST-MIMAROPA’s 2011 Annual Report. The following pages summarize existing and new projects, Istrategies and accomplishments of DOST-MIMAROPA in the past year as we move alongside DOST’s thrust for national competitiveness. Year 2011 was a turning point for the Department as it embodied a paradigm shift from the new administration, thus pushing for intensified community-based interventions towards accelerated countryside development. We have tapped and nurtured our partnerships with key players in the region, namely, fellow RLAs, LGUs, SUCs and NGOs — one of which bore fruit to the first food-based technology business incubator in MIMAROPA. Another milestone is our strong contribution to SETUP, DOST’s banner program, for again having the distinction of most number of approved projects as well as ranking second among sixteen regional offices in terms of total project value. Interventions for 9.25% or 73 of the registered manufacturing firms in MIMAROPA, have translated to a 0.89% employment contribution (or 515 individuals provided jobs) to the region’s manufacturing sector, and 0.088% or 94.03M to the region’s GRDP. Also, with the first ever conduct of the Regional Invention, Contest and Exhibit, the agency was able to promote S&T culture among the youth and/or the innovative by instilling an appreciation of the wider possibilities and applications of science in our daily lives. On a different but still noteworthy accomplishment, the office carried through its ISO 9001:2008 certification, assuring clientele of sustained quality services and continuous improvement since 2010. Like in any organization, the year cannot pass without its challenges but I am to say that we view them all as essential opportunities for learning and growth. I share 2011’s sweet lessons and even sweeter successes with the dedicated men and women of DOST-MIMAROPA, from the five Provincial S&T Centers to all the staff in the regional office, who are undeniably very crucial assets of the office; with all our regional partners who entrusted us with their valuable resources; with DOST’s top management and attached agencies for providing us unrelenting technical and financial support in our projects; and most of all, with God Almighty, for blessing us limitlessly and for employing us as your instrument for the empowerment of the people in MIMAROPA. We look forward to even more productive years to come. Congratulations everyone and all the best! DR. MA. JOSEFINA P. ABILAY Regional Director DOST-MIMAROPA 2011 Annual Report n its fourth year of operation, and alongside the beginning of a new DOST Top Management, DOST-MIMAROPA continues to grow as a service provider and as a virtual bridge for both Oits partners and clients across the island-provinces. Among many national shifts, the year 2011 has become a landmark for intensifying efforts towards the development and transfer of local technologies especially in the countryside. With aggressive promotion and proactive implementation of S&T services, the regional office has continued to provide support to local industries through the integration of technology into the core competitiveness of our assisted enterprises. In line with the administration’s Five-Point Agenda, the roles of regional agencies have been broadened further to include finding and disseminating solutions to prevalent and persistent national problems; developing countryside-appropriate technologies and harnessing the same for their competitiveness; and utilizing S&T to enhance the delivery of various government services. This report summarizes the efforts of DOST-MIMAROPA as it moves along with DOST’s thrust for Philippine competitiveness. 1 Harnessing Technology to Improve Industry Competitiveness SETUP Core and Non-Core Funded Projects Pag’z Furniture and General Merchandise, Mindoro Occidental OST-MIMAROPA continued to take strides in the implementation of technology transfer activities

  • Heritage, Poverty and Landscape-Scale Biodiversity
    Poverty, wealth and conservation HHeritage,eritage, povertypoverty andand landscape-scalelandscape-scale biodiversitybiodiversity cconservation:onservation: anan alternatealternate perspectiveperspective fromfrom thethe AAmazonianmazonian frontierfrontier JJanisanis B.B. AAlcorn,lcorn, CarolCarol Carlo,Carlo, JulioJulio Rojas,Rojas, DavidDavid Rothschild,Rothschild, AlakaAlaka Wali,Wali, aandnd AAlejolejo ZZarzyckiarzycki Abstract. Rights-based initiatives offer governments, donors and NGOs a new path forward, giving new meaning to old words like poverty, heritage, and landscape-scale conservation. The conventional conservation perspective holds that people in high biodiversity areas are impoverished and therefore destroy biodiversity to meet their needs. Under this view, people are seen as a threat to be removed, restricted, or to be given “alternative livelihoods” means that do not depend on their traditional natural resources. The poverty-alleviation-based ap- proach to conservation, which is politically acceptable to the status quo, persists within policy and project implementation even if it has often been discredited as unsustainable. Aware of the large investments made in rural development and conservation projects without posi- tive results, rural people have become increasingly anti-conservation and suspicious of NGOs that make their living off communities with development and conservation projects that are not effective. The rights-based approach holds that the root causes of poverty and resource degradation can be addressed only by addressing political relationships that govern access to resources and equitable justice. We offer a perspective gained by valuing the strengthening of the rights-based approach to incorporate the cultural concept of dynamic heritage as a means for “balancing the scale” when collaborating with communities for achieving conservation objectives in the landscape.

  • Vocal Divergence and New Species in the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox Philippensis Complex
    FORKTAIL 28 (2012): 1–20 Vocal divergence and new species in the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox philippensis complex P. C. RASMUSSEN, D. N. S. ALLEN, N. J. COLLAR, B. DEMEULEMEESTER, R. O. HUTCHINSON, P. G. C. JAKOSALEM, R. S. KENNEDY, F. R. LAMBERT & L. M. PAGUNTALAN We show, based on morphology and especially vocalisations, that the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox philippensis requires treatment as seven allopatric species and at least one additional subspecies. Morphological distinctions between three groups of taxa are striking, and although taxa within one major group are relatively similar in plumage they vary rather consistently in size and proportions. It has not been possible until now to resolve the species limits in this complex due mainly to the lack of sound recordings of key taxa, a problem now rectified. Vocalisations differ significantly between all seven species, the limits of which are incongruent with all previous taxonomies. Taxa from Mindoro ( mindorensis ), Mindanao ( spilocephala ), Camiguin Sur (named herein), and the Sulu Islands ( reyi ) exhibit especially great vocal differences from all other taxa along with smaller but consistent differences in plumage and morphometrics. Although specimens have been in museum collections for many years, two of these species and one subspecies have heretofore remained undescribed, and we formally name these taxa for science. The recommended species-level treatment and English names of the N. philippensis complex are: Luzon Hawk Owl N. philippensis ; Mindanao Hawk Owl N. spilocephala ; Mindoro Hawk Owl N. mindorensis ; Sulu Hawk Owl Ninox reyi ; Romblon Hawk Owl N. spilonota ; Camiguin Hawk Owl new species; and Cebu Hawk Owl new species.
