Southern Leyte Reef Conservation Project Philippines, May, 2013 Story of the Month On the 15th of May, CCC project scientists Alex Ferguson and Casper van de Geer were invited to attend the 62nd LGU Inaugral Day and Fiesta Celebrations in San Francisco. The day started with a parade around the town and involved many members of the community incuding municipal officials barabngay leaders, Philippine National Police officers and teachers from local schools to name but a few. At the head of the parade were students from the Santa Paz National High School band who entertained the crowds with an array of classic and contemporary songs. The parade finished in the basketball arena in the centre of town with a fantastic performance from the band and the flag bearers and dance troope who accompanied them. Next came the welcome messages and the opening of the fiesta celebrations. CCC staff were honoured to be among the guests invited on stage to watch the festivities. The day was concluded with a basketball tournament contested by teams from each of the barangays within the San Francisco Municipality. The Santa Paz National High School band prepares to start leading the parade Education and Community Projects Reef Rangers with Santa Paz National High School students This month CCC’s Education Officer, Hazel Murray, welcomed twelve students from Santa Paz National High School to our site for our Reef Ranger Training Programme. This programme is open to high school students who visit for two days and attend classes on coral reef ecology and coral biology as well as undertaking three snorkelling sessions where they put their new knowledge to the test. The programme culminates with the Reef Rangers giving a Reef Rangers from Santa Paz National High School Southern Leyte Reef Conservation Project Philippines, May, 2013 presentation to our staff and volunteers about coral reef conservation. It was fantastic to have the Santa Paz students on site; they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it’s always inspiring to see young people to care about their environment and want to learn more. SLSU Training Event This month we were also delighted to welcome students from Southern Leyte State University for a training morning focusing on Global Environmental Concerns. The students, most of whom are also science teachers, spent the morning finding out about the work CCC does and discussing the ways in which threats to coastal ecosystems can be mitigated and managed. They then went for a snorkel in Napantao MPA to see the coral reef with their own eyes. Education Officer, Hazel Murray, and Project Scientist, Alex Ferguson, with SLSU Sogod students at CCC base CCC invited to kids climate change camp At the end of the month CCC pleased to be was asked to attend the Children and Youth Environmental Camp in Liloan. Our staff and volunteers gave a presentation on climate change and coastal resources, helped with the coastal clean up, performed the famous Fred the Fish puppet show and showed an underwater movie about coral reefs. Education Officers, Hazel Murray and Sammie Euridge, were joined by seven volunteers for this action packed day. June looks to be a busy month for the Education Officer as the new school year is about to start. Staff and volunteers enjoy dinner with staff from Plan Sammie is looking forward to International, co-organisers of the Children and Youth teaching in the elementary and Environmental Camp in Liloan high schools on Panaon Island. Southern Leyte Reef Conservation Project Philippines, May, 2013 Survey Update Survey background: Since January 2013, CCC has been using a new methodology to carry out our underwater surveys. The baseline assessment of the natural resources of Sogod Bay, started in 2002, has been completed as far as possible from our current location. From now on we will be focussing our efforts on assessing how these natural resources are being protected by surveying the effectiveness of the Marine Protected Areas in Sogod Bay. To do this we will be using the Reef Check survey protocol, which has been customized by CCC to perfecty fit our work in Sogod Bay. If you would like more information on our surveying please contact our Project Scientist, Alex Ferguson. Padre Burgos MPA Assessment This month we were due to start surveying in the Santa Sofia MPA in Padre Burgos. Unfortunately due to a technical issue with our dive boat we have been unable to survey at any remote location. We are hopeful that the issue will be resolved quickly and we shall be able to start surveying very soon. All at CCC would like to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. Limasawa and Napantao MPA assessments We are pleased to announce that the report for the Limasawa MPA assessment is now finished and the Napantao report is nearly complete. From the analysis of the data it is clear that both sites are in generally good health with significant stands of hard coral and a good diversity of fish and invertebrates. The lack of large predatory fish however is a concern and may be an indicator of high fishing pressure in the region. Limasawa CoTs Assessment As mentioned last month, CCC staff and volunteers conducted a Crown of Thorns Starfish (CoTs) assessment in the area proposed as an MPA around Limasawa. The findings are very positive with very low numbers recorded both inside and outside the proposed MPA and at different depth contours. As a large scale extraction has just taken place around Limasawa it is encouraging to see that it appears to have been effective. Continued monitoring is recommended to assess CoTs levels and prevent future outbreaks. Crown of Thorns Starfish – Acanthaster planci Napantao CoTs Assessment As a result of the issues with our dive boat we have been confined to diving on our house reef in Napantao. As an opportunity not to be missed staff and volunteers have started conducting a comprehensive CoTs assessment of the Napantao MPA and surrounding areas. The initial results are again positive with observed numbers of CoTs very low and below out break levels. The report for this assessment will be compiled in due course. Southern Leyte Reef Conservation Project Philippines, May, 2013 Marine Scholarship News Each month CCC offers Filippino nationals who display an ambition to study and protect the vital marine ecosystems of the Philippines an opportunity to take part as a counterpart in our Marine Conservation Scholarship. The programme lasts for one month and involves training the student in SCUBA diving to the level of PADI Advanced Open Water. They then take part in an intensive Skills Development Programme giving them the knowledge and expertise to conduct sub-marine surveys of the coastline. Focus on our current scholars This month we were very happy to welcome Jerome Napala back to our site in Napantao. Jerome initially joined the scholarship programe in 2011 where he completed his science training and PADI Rescue Diver course. Since then he has been working on the Coral Reef Restoration Project in Padre Burgos as a Technical Project assisstant. Jerome has returned to CCC to complete his PADI Divemaster qualification, which is an intensive course designed to teach individuals how to become leaders in diving. It is also the first professional qualification on the PADI system. We are very pleased to announce that Jerome raced through the course and was awarded the qualification after just two weeks! An amazing achievement! As our survey methodology has changed since he was last here, Jerome has also completed our new science program. Again, he raced through this in no time and passed all aspects with flying colours. He is now involved with helping train our new volunteers and has proved a real asset to our team. Of his time with CCC Jerome says that, “being able to do my Open Water to Divemaster with Coral Cay is a great source of pride for me.

  • Determining Competitive Advantage of Communities in a Rural Setting
    Journal of Educational and Human Resource Development 6:227-237(2018) Southern Leyte State University, Sogod, Southern Leyte, Philippines Determining Competitive Advantage of Communities in a Rural Setting Constantino G. Medilo Jr.* Frederick C. Aniga College of Teacher Education Southern Leyte State University Tomas Oppus, Southern Leyte, Philippines Abstract This study provided a framework for determining the competitive advantage of the communities in the rural areas using principal component analysis. The profiles of the municipalities in the province of Southern Leyte, Philippines were analyzed, and principal components identified. The data included density, total land area, revenue classification, number of literate residents, number of gainful workers, average household size, number of residents with academic degrees, number of hazards present and the rate of population increase. The results identified four indices as factors of competitive advantage, which included the general demographic index, crowding index, family size index, and hazard exposure. This paper concluded that competitive edge in rural areas is a function of general demographic factors, crowding, family size, and exposure to hazard. Demographic and geographical factors are vital to improving the competitive advantage of municipalities in the rural setting. Attaining competitive advantage in the rural environment means municipalities must have robust performance in literacy, population, the productivity of its citizens. Those municipalities should likewise perform well in controlling crowding and at the same time have the ability to mitigate the possible effects of natural hazards. The focus of determining competitive advantage away from economic indicators provides opportunities for looking at how communities in the rural see what they define as success.

This assistance has been provided under successive Memorandum of Understandings (MoU) between PGSL, Coral Cay Conservation (CCC) and the Philippine Reef & Rainforest Conservation Foundation, Inc. (PRRCFI). Three strategies have been identified as appropriate for achieving this objective, namely: 1 - Conservation education for the fisherfolk, schools, colleges, and Local Government Units (LGUs) of the Province 2 - Capacity building of technical skills amongst the employees of the PGSL 3 - Resource appraisal of the current status of the coral reefs of the bay From September 2002 to April 2004, the SLCRCP was based near the town of Malitbog, from where CCC dive teams assessed the north-eastern and north-western reefs. In May 2004, the project moved to the Municipality of Padre Burgos, from where the reefs of the southwest and Limasawa Island could be assessed.

  • First Easter Sunday Mass Was Held in Limasawa’ — Nat’L Historical Commission
    ‘First Easter Sunday mass was held in Limasawa’ — Nat’l Historical Commission Published August 20, 2020, 5:33 PM by Hanah Tabios After decades of debate, the long-standing issue of the exact location of the Easter Sunday Mass celebrated by Fr. Pedro Valderama during the Magellan-Elcano expedition on March 31, 1521 was finally resolved by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP). (NCCA / FILE PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) In a statement released on August 18, the NHCP affirmed the findings of the investigation conducted by the panel of scholars that the commission created in 2018, recommending the recognition of Limasawa, located in today’s Southern Leyte, as the site of the said event. The date on which the Spaniards first set foot in the Philippines may have been well-established in history books. But there was controversy on the site of the first Easter Sunday Mass celebrated in 1521 that emerged in the last years of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. This came about when both foreign and local historical research scholars of that period shifted their view from the traditionally recognized site of Butuan in Agusan del Norte to Limasawa island in Leyte. Revisiting historical problem According to NHCP, the issue as to the exact location of the said mass was first resolved by its forerunner, the National Historical Institute (NHI), through two panels of experts: the first headed by former Supreme Court Justice Emilio Gancayco in 1995 and the second by historian Dr. Benito J. Legarda in 2008. “Both panels ruled that the site of the 1521 Easter Sunday Mass was Limasawa island, now a municipality in Southern Leyte,” it said.
