LOGISTICS CLUSTER Response to Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) 11 April 2014 CLUSTER SNAPSHOT OVERVIEW USD 20 Million 112% The Logistics Cluster’s temporary storage facilities in Cebu and Palo have now closed. project value funded Storage services are no longer available. 33,429 MT As of 15 March, the Logistics Cluster provided a total 1,164 trucks to the Government total cargo dispatched by sea through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in support of their food and road distribution operations in Leyte. This service has now been discontinued and this function has been reverted to DSWD management. As of 11 April 2014 URGENT HUMANITARIAN NEEDS The national supply chain infrastructure and commercial logistics services in the areas affected by Typhoon Haiyan have developed the capacity to serve the humanitarian communities’ overarching needs. CLUSTER RESPONSE The Cluster continues to provide support out of Tacloban for partners operating within Regions VI and VII, by facilitating and identifying access to sustainable logistics services through local markets and/or asset-sharing among partners and humanitarian organizations. This is being achieved through coordination, assessments and information being disseminated to partners in Guiuan, Ormoc, Cebu, Manila and Roxas. The humanitarian warehouse hubs at Palo and Cebu, supported with cargo-handling equipment, have been dismantled; however the Cluster continues to assist partners to identify solutions to their long-term storage requirements, either through identified available warehouse capacity, the loan of WFP mobile storage units or the procurement of assets through the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot. No additional training or capacity-building activities were carried out during the reporting period. https://philippines.humanitarianresponse.info www.unocha.org www.reliefweb.int o (!

    THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

To date, it is the most complete tracking study of whale sharks in the country, with satellite tags deployed on different individuals in multiple sites. The Philippines is an important hotspot for whale sharks and globally hosts the third largest known population of whale sharks (www.whaleshark.org). While the species has been protected in the Philippines since 1998, globally the species was uplisted in 2016 to ‘endangered to extinction’ in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to a population decline of more than 50%, largely caused by continued exploitation in the Indo-Pacific. Particularly in South East Asia, concerns remain due to continued fishing in regional waters; understanding the movements of whale sharks in the Philippines is vital if we are to identify conservation priorities for the species. In this study 17 individual whale sharks were tagged with Wildlife Computers SPOT5 satellite tags in three different locations in the Philippines: Panaon Island (Southern Leyte), northern Mindanao (Misamis Oriental and Surigao del Norte) and Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (Palawan).

Rizalthus, new genus, with just one species, R. anconis, new species, can be distinguished from allied genera by characters of the carapace, epistome, chelipeds, male abdomen and male fi rst gonopod. Visayax, new genus, contains two new species, V. osteodictyon and V. estampadori, and can be distinguished from similar genera using a combination of features of the carapace, epistome, thoracic sternum, male abdomen, pereiopods and male fi rst gonopod. A new species of Hepatoporus Serène, H. pumex, is also described. It is distinguished from congeners by the unique morphology of its front, carapace sculpturing, form of the subhepatic cavity and structure of the male fi rst gonopod.
