Although the name Winter Course might confuse one in the Philippine context, something serious is going on with climate change. The goals of the Water Course might be described as: Getting to know your counterpart student from a different country and a different discipline; Getting to understand what ‘integrated water management’ and ‘river basin management’ looks like in practice. The Rijnland District Water Control Board feels an obligation in sharing knowledge on the subject of integrated water management. With the millennium goals in mind, we understand that sharing knowledge does not limit itself to the boundaries of your country. Our cooperation with Leiden University led us to the Philippines and in this case specifically to the Isabela State University and the Cagayan Valley Programme on Environment and Development (CVPED) and the Mabuwaya Foundation. In this booklet you find the experiences of the group of students participating in the Water Course 2018. We are proud of the results and the fact that we could contribute to this activity. We can now speak of a tradition, and I am confident that this eight Water Course in a row will not be the last one. I sincerely hope that many more Water Courses may follow! Timo van Tilburg Head of the Policy Department The Rijnland District Water Control Board Leiden, the Netherlands 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The present booklet is the outcome of the work done by 15 students of Leiden University and 15 students of Isabela State University during the eighth international water course that took place in the Philippines from 4 January – 2 February 2018. The 2018 Course would not have been possible without the funding and support by Hoogheemraadschap Rijnland, the Louwes Fund for research on Water and Food, Leiden University, Isabela State University and the Mabuwaya Foundation. The course was organized and coordinated by the Institute of Environmental Sciences (Kiki Boomgaard, Ellen Cieraad), Faculty of Social Sciences of Leiden University (Janneke Verheijen and Merlijn van Weerd), Isabela State University (Cecille Mangabat) and the Mabuwaya Foundation (Marites Balbas and Merlijn van Weerd). Participants from Isabela State University were screened from the different colleges and we thank Dr Edmundo Gumpal and colleagues of CFEM, Dr Bella Reyes and colleagues of PTIA, Dr Jane Cabauatan and colleagues of CDCAS, Dr Ambrose Hans Aggabao and colleagues of CTE, Dr Rufino Calpature and Dr Orlando Balderama and colleagues of the College of Engineering at Echague, Dr Precila de Lima of Cauayan Campus and Dr Clarinda Galiza of ISU Campus San Mariano for their support. The Cagayan Valley Program on Environment and Development (CVPED) of Isabela State University (ISU), headed by Cecille Mangabat with staff members Eso Tarun, Onia Gunayon and Lenlen Morillo provided support while the students stayed in Cabagan. Meals in Cabagan were provided by Prof Dominador Zipagan and students of the Hotel and Restaurant Management Course. We thank the Campus Executive Officer Dr Hans Ambrosius Aggabao of ISU Cabagan and ISU President Dr Ricmar Aquino for all their support during the coordination, preparation and the implementation of the course.

A large number of representatives of government, non-government and international organizations warmly welcomed the students in their offices or field sites and provided a unique insight in their work: The water course 2018 students and staff visited the Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in manila for presentations on biodiversity and conservation in the Philippines. Dave de Vera of the Philippin Association for Intercultural Development (PAFID) gave presentations about Indigenous Peoples and conservation. Sam and colleagues of the Kalahan Educational Foundation (KEF) welcomed and toured the students in the Ikalahan Ancestral Domain in Imugan. 5 National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) Regional Director Ruben Bastero gave a presentation about the indigenous people of Region II and the work of the NCIP. Regional Director of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Ferdinand Tumaliuan gave a presentation about the Regional development plan of Region II. Mayor Edgar Go of San Mariano allowed the students to visit Dunoy Lake and to conduct a field work trial in his beautiful municipality in the foothills of the northern Sierra Madre Mountains. Mayor Leonardo C. Pattung of the municipality of Baggao, local government officials and batangay officlas allowed the students to conduct research in their municipality and provided support and information. Last but not least the students experienced the famous Filipino hospitality while staying with host families in Barangays Remus, Pallagao and Sta Margarita in Baggao.

  • 2005 Annual Regional Economic Situationer (ARES)
    . CAGAYAN VALLEY ANNUAL REGIONAL ECONOMIC SITUATIONER (ARES) 2005 ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE Economic adversities and natural calamities pulled back the economic performance of Region 02 in the year 2005 as all the major sectors of the regional economy registered setbacks. Specifically, the decreases were recorded in agricultural production, tourism, air transport industry, and investments generated. The prolonged dry spell coupled with floods brought by typhoon “Labuyo” exacted a heavy toll on agriculture sector. While there were government measures implemented to boost production of palay, corn and other crops such as the usage of high-yielding and certified seeds, this was not enough to restrain the impact of the fortuitous weather conditions occurring in the region. Nonetheless, fishery production stepped up by 9.34 percent owing to the improvements in municipal fishing and significant gains in aquaculture. As a consequence of these natural calamities and the VAT law, inflation rate in the region went up to 6.88 percent. Inflation rate on food items increased as the weather took its toll on the supplies of these commodities. Likewise, prices of dairy products went up pulled by the implementation of the VAT which directly affects this type of food groups (processed and canned goods). The rise in the crude oil prices and the implementation of VAT, led also to the increases in transport fares, water and electricity tariffs. Related to the slide in agricultural production and increase in prices, investments generated in the region reflected a dormant performance as it barely grew by 0.86 percent. This decline was evident in all the three sectors, the Services sector having the biggest number of workers laid off during the year.

  • Use of Field Recorded Sounds in the Assessment of Forest Birds in Palawan, Philippines ______Required in the Field [19]
    Asia Pacific Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, Vol. 7, No. 2, May, 2019 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Asia Pacific Journal of Use of Field Recorded Sounds in the Multidisciplinary Research Assessment of Forest Birds in Palawan, Vol. 7 No.2, 24-31 May 2019 Philippines P-ISSN 2350-7756 E-ISSN 2350-8442 Alejandro A. Bernardo Jr. www.apjmr.com College of Arts and Sciences, Western Philippines University, CHED Recognized Journal Aborlan, Palawan, Philippines ASEAN Citation Index [email protected] Date Received: August 3, 2018; Date Revised: February 8, 2019 Abstract -The uses of bioacoustics in biological applications are getting popular in research communities. Among such application is the use of sound recordings in avifaunal researches. This research explored the possibility of using the sound recording in the assessment of forest birds in Palawan by comparing it in widely used Point Count Method (PCM). To compare the two methods, a simultaneous point count and sound recording surveys from February to November 2017 in the forested slopes of Victoria-Anipahan Mountain in Aborlan, Palawan were conducted. The Sound Recording Method (SRM) listed slightly lower species richness than the PCM, but the difference in the mean number of species was not significant (F1,49=1.05, p > 0.05). The SRM was found to be biased towards noisy and loud calling bird species but it failed to detect the silent and rarely calling species. SRM was also equally sensitive as compared to PCM in detecting endemic and high conservation priority species. Because of these, it was recognized that SRM could be used as one of the alternative methods in forest bird assessment particularly if the concern is avifaunal species richness.
