Barn Owl Spotted, Released in La Union Published May 27, 2020, 2:18 PM by Ellalyn De Vera-Ruiz STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE May 28, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : Barn owl spotted, released in La Union Published May 27, 2020, 2:18 PM By Ellalyn de Vera-Ruiz A juvenile barn owl (Tyto alba) spotted in Bauang, La Union has been successfully released back into the wild, according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). (MANILA BULLETIN) The young owl was discovered by Gil Elopre in his rice field at Barangay Nagrebcan last May 10. He brought the owl home and kept it until he decided the following day to call the hotline of the DENR Action Center based in Quezon City to report the incident. After getting a call from Elopre, the action center immediately notified the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) in La Union, which then assigned wildlife enforcement officers to conduct the rescue operation. The barn owl, measuring 18 centimeters and weighing 2 kilograms, has been found healthy and without injuries. This has prompted the PENRO to release the raptor in a forested area in Naguilian town the same day it was rescued. Barn owls, which belong to the Tytonidae family, are widely found in different continents around the world and are known for eating rodents like mice in agricultural lands. Despite the stable population status of barn owls in the Philippines, the DENR still gives importance to the wildlife species as they contribute to the ecological balance of nature by eradicating pests. DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu has been urging the public to leave wild animals alone, unless they are sick, orphaned or injured, as reports of their sightings have increased during the coronavirus pandemic. Cimatu said that possession, transportation and importation of wild animals are regulated under Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act of 2001. Any sightings of injured, orphaned or sick wildlife may be reported to the DENR- Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) through its mobile numbers 0917 868 3367 and 0917 885 3367 or through the DENR Action Center and Hotline 8888. According to the BMB, it is completely illegal to injure and kill all wildlife, except for scientific research and other permissible instances. Up to 12 years of jail and/or a P1 million fine awaits violators for killing wildlife, while up to six years of jail and/or a P500,000 fine awaits violators for injuring wildlife. The BMB also pointed out that without appropriate permits, it is illegal to collect, possess, buy, sell, import and export all wildlife, by-products and derivatives. Violators will be jailed up to four years and imposed fine of up to P300,000. Meanwhile, illegally transporting wildlife is punishable by up to a year of jail and a fine of P100,000.

Ayon sa DENR noong Mayo 10 nang matagpuan ng nagngangalang Gil Elorpe sa kanyang sakahan sa Barangay Nagrebcan ang ibon bago sila magdesisyon na dalhin sa DENR Action Center sa Quezon City. Matapos matanggap ang impormasyon kay Elorpe ay agad na ipinaalam ng action center sa PENRO sa San Fernando, La Union ang pangyayari at mabilis na nakipag-ugnayan sa wildlife enforcement officers (WESs) para sa rescue operation. Nabatid sa ulat ang barn owl na may sukat na 18 centimeters at may bigat na 2 kilo ay walang nakitang pinsala base na rin sa inspeksiyon ng WEOs habang nagdesisyon naman ang La Union PENRO na pakawalan ang ibon sa Naguiialan kung saan ito nailitgtas. Samantala, kaugnay nito pinuri naman ni DENR Undersecretary Benny D. Antiporda ang PENRO ng La Union dahil sa kanilang trabaho kahit na umiiral ang general community quarantine sa probinsiya ay nagawa nila ng maayos ang kanilang ginawa kahit namayroong COVID-19 pandemic. “The team’s speedy action is laudable,”sabi pa ni Antiporda. “The DENR, through its field offices, has proven once again its seriousness in fulfilling its mandate to protect and conserve wildlife species even with the pandemic crisis.” Ang barn owls na kabilang sa Tytonidae family ay matatagpuan sa iba’t-ibang lugar sa mundo at kilala sa pagkain ng mga daga sa taniman. Kahit na marami ang barn owls sa Pilipias ay sinasabi ng DENR na ang lahi nito ay nakapagbibigay ng balanse sa ating kalikasan sa pamamagitan ng pagkain sa mga peste. Kamakailan ay umapela ni DENR Secretary Roy A. Cimatu sa publiko na pabayaan ang mga wild animals sa pagiging malaya at kapag may nakita sa kanilang lugar na hayop ay ipagbigay alam agad sa tanggpan ng ahensiya. Ayon kay Cimatu, ang sinumang manghuhuli na nag-aalaga, nagbabiyahe at nag-iimporta ng wild animals ay maaaring makasuhan ng paglabag sa Republic Act 9147 o mas kilala sa Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act of 2001. Aniya, ang anumang makikita o matatagpuan na wildlife ay ipagbigay-alam sa DENR- Biodiversity Management Bureau o tumawag sa mobile number -0917 868 3367 at 0917 885 3367 o kaya naman ay makipag-ugnayan sa DENR Action Center and Hotline 8888.

Burgos Jr. - Correspondent / @nestorburgosINQ Inquirer Visayas / 06:53 PM May 21, 2020 ILOILO CITY—The term of the inter-agency task force in charge of rehabilitating Boracay Island has been extended by one more year, the task force announced in a statement on Thursday (May 21). President Rodrigo Duterte issued Executive Order No. 115 on May 11 extending the term of the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force (BIATF) to a third year on May 8, 2021, according to the BIATF statement. The task force was created on May 8, 2018 for a two-year term to supervise and manage the rehabilitation of the island. The President ordered the closure of the island-resort to tourists for six months from April 26 to Oct. 25, 2018 after he called the island a “cesspool.” The President in his directive extended the BIATF’s term “so it may ensure the implementation of carrying capacity regulations, and continue to carry out its mandate under EO 53 (which created the BIATF).” Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, who chairs the task force, welcomed the President’s directive saying this would ensure the continuity of rehabilitation efforts. “We very much welcome this decision of the President knowing fully well that there is still much work to be done to complete the rehabilitation of Boracay,” Cimatu said in the BIATF statement. Cimatu said that as of March 31, ”33 percent of Boracay establishments remained non-compliant with the 25+5-meter beach easement rule and another 27 percent have not complied with the 6-meter road easement as required by law.” He said the 1,100 illegal structures built on forestlands and on beach and road easements have yet to be removed aside from the 1,234 structures that have been demolished.

Don’t let a “good” crisis go to waste: One-upmanship in local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic Julian Thomas B. Alvareza, Jahm Mae E. Guintoa,b, Joseph J. Capunob† aAsian Development Bank bUniversity of the Philippines Abstract Unlike in previous crises, the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought a crisis affecting all population groups, all economic sectors and all jurisdictions in the Philippines, as elsewhere. The impact of the COVID-19 vary across localities, however, partly due to differences in local government responses to the pandemic. Our objective is to examine the patterns in the types and timing of local responses among neighboring local government units (cities) for evidence of one- upmanship among their incumbent leaders (mayors). We assembled data for 25 selected cities and then grouped them into 28 neighborhood clusters. Using three indicators, we measure the immediacy, primacy and distinctiveness of the local responses within each cluster over the period March 2020-March 2021. Of the 28 clusters, we find in 19 (67.9 percent) evidence of one- upmanship consistent with the view that the type and timing of local responses are driven by mayors who wish to signal their talents and abilities.

Cimatu ang mga wildlife officers na nakasagip sa blue-naped parrot sa Manila habang ipinatutupad ang enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) sa Luzon at iba pang lugar sa bansa upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng COVID-19. “Our wildlife enforcers deserve a salute for their efforts to recover a national treasure – the blue-naped parrot that is endemic to Luzon and classified as ‘near threatened’ or may be considered threatened with extinction in the near future,” sabi ni Cimatu. Ayon sa DENR ang mga wildlife officers na tinutukoy ni Cimatu ay ang mga tauhan ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-National Capital Region na pinangunahan ni Special Investigator Rey Florano. Magugunitang noong Abril 29, 2020 nang magtungo ang grupo ni Florano sa condominium building sa San Andres Bukid matapos makatanggap ng tawag sa telepono mula sa isang residente na nagngangalang Athena Parado dahil sa pagkakakita sa ibon sa kanilang lugar. Matapos mailigtas ang ibon ay agad itong dinala ng grupo sa Wildlife Rescue Center ng DENR’s Biodiversity Management Bureau sa Quezon City kung saan ito mananatili at aalagaan. Ayon kay Cimatu, patuloy ang DENR sa pagtupad sa kanilang mandato na protektahan ang ating “flora at fauna” kahit na mayroong COVID-19 crisis.

Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, chief coronavirus disease (COVID-19) response implementor in the Viayas (NTF AGAINST COVID-19 / MANILA BULLETIN) Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu mentioned this during his keynote speech at the event in Lal-lo, Cagayan. “Today we are on a mission to reduce the perennial flooding of the region of Cagayan Valley. During our Cabinet meeting in December, the President himself approved the widening of the Magapit Narrows (part of the river) and the removal of 19 sandbars in Cagayan River,” Cimatu said. “Aabutin ito ng taon (It might take years), several years probably that we will be able to dregde the river.

  • THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications
    CenPEG Political Situationer No. 07 10 July 2019 THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications Introduction The May 2019 mid-term elections took place amidst the now familiar problems of compromised voting transparency and accuracy linked with the automated election system (AES). Moreover, martial law was still in place in Mindanao making it difficult for opposition candidates to campaign freely. Towards election time, the systematic red-tagging and harassment of militant opposition candidates and civil society organizations further contributed to an environment of fear and impunity. In this context, the Duterte administration’s official candidates and allies won most of the contested seats nationally and locally but how this outcome impacts on the remaining three years of the administration is open to question. This early, the partisan realignments and negotiations for key positions in both the House and the Senate and the maneuverings for the 2022 presidential elections are already in place. Such actions are bound to deepen more opportunistic behavior by political allies and families and affect the political capital of the presidency as it faces new challenges and problems in its final three years in office. The Senate Elections: “Duterte Magic?” In an electoral process marred by persistent transparency and accuracy problems embedded in the automated election system, the administration candidates and allies dominated the elections. This victory has been attributed to the so-called “Duterte magic” but a careful analysis of the winning 12 candidates for the Senate shows a more nuanced reading of the results. At best, President Duterte and the administration can claim full credit for the victory of four senators: Christopher “Bong” Go, Ronald “Bato” de la Rosa, Francis Tolentino, and Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III.
