  • Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines – Online Appendix
    ONLINE APPENDIX Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines Eugenia Go 28 February 2020 A.1. DATA 1. Maritime Trade by Origin and Destination The analysis is limited to a set of agricultural commodities corresponding to 101,159 monthly flows. About 5% of these exhibit highly improbable derived unit values suggesting encoding errors. More formally, provincial retail and farm gate prices are used as upper and lower bounds of unit values to check for outliers. In such cases, more weight is given to the volume record as advised by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and values were adjusted according to the average unit price of the exports from the port of the nearest available month before and after the outlier observation. 2. Interprovince Land Trade Interprovince land trade flows were derived using Marketing Cost Structure Studies prepared by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics for a number of products in selected years. These studies identify the main supply and destination provinces for certain commodities. The difference between production and consumption of a supply province is assumed to be the amount available for export to demand provinces. The derivation of imports of a demand province is straightforward when an importing province only has one source province. In cases where a demand province sources from multiple suppliers, such as the case of the National Capital Region (NCR), the supplying provinces are weighted according to the sample proportions in the survey. For example, NCR sources onions from Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan, and Nueva Ecija. Following the sample proportion of traders in each supply province, it is assumed that 26% of NCR imports came from Ilocos Norte, 34% from Pangasinan, and 39% from Nueva Ecija.

  • Zambales Nickel Mining Impacts Sustainable Agriculture and Fisheries
    ALYANSA TIGIL MINA Zambales nickel mining impacts sustainable agriculture and fisheries Who is the alleged victim(s) (individual(s), community, group, etc.): Farming and fishing communities in Sta Cruz Zambales Who is the alleged perpetrator(s) of the violation: Four large-scale mining companies (extracting nickel) are blamed for the irreversible environmental degradation and destruction in the town of Sta. Cruz, namely: Zambales Diversified Metals Corp. Benguet Corp. Nickel Mines Inc. Eramin Minerals Inc. LNL Archipelago Minerals Inc The nickel mining operations result in water pollution due to nickel laterite. This has seeped in the irrigated water sources and reached 30-nautical miles offshore, affecting both agriculture and fishery sectors. Date, place and detailed description of the circumstances of the incident(s) or the violation: Sta. Cruz is a 1st class municipality with rich arable land that is conjusive for farming. The whole province of Zambales owes its title as “home of the best carabao mango of the world” to its rich land. To date, because of the nickel mining: Sta. Cruz, Zambales is losing 8,000 tons of palay production annually worth Php 200-million (US$5M). It has and estimated loss of Php 20-million (US$ 0.5M) from fish production in three major rivers and at least Php 30-million (or US$0.75M) (each hectare earning a net of Php 300,000.00 annually) loss from fish production in at least 100-hectares of fishpond. As an effect of the nickel laterite reaching offshore, there was also a declined in catch in deep sea fishing. There is also a radical reduction in the production of the best and sweetest carabao mango.

Mae Menzi, BSN Cici Donna Real, BSN Keanu Ufina, BSN John Michael Brico Solis, SN School of Nursing, Saint Louis University, Baguio, Philippines Aim: To describe the cultural perspectives in terms of causes, responses, and signs and symptoms of depression by the: Kankana-eys, Ilocanos, and Maranaos in the Philippines and to determine the culturally-based management for depression across the cultures. Background: The intricate complexity surrounding depression might be grounded from cultural subtlety. The protracted base of depression has ignited interest on deeper understanding and finding the relevant management that might be deeply embedded in cultures. Therefore, to bring light to this might counteract the burgeoning prevalence and impact of depression across different culture. Methods: Ethnographic design was employed with interviewing a total of 41 participants. The participants are traditional healers, local cultural experts, writers of books, local religious leaders, and with the age ranging 46-85 years old and all have personally witnessed and/or performed cultural practices on depression. To enhance the richness of the study, crystallization of data gathering were done that is including structured interview, field notes (immersion), focus group discussions, documentary analysis, and observational analysis. The study focused on describing the cultural perspectives on meanings, causes, and attitudes, and culturally-based management on depression from Baguio City, Municipalities of Kapangan, Buguias, and Kibungan, Province of Benguet, and Vigan City, Philippines.

    J Aquac Res Development 2018, Volume 9 conferenceseries.com DOI: 10.4172/2155-9546-C1-024 11th Global Summit on Aquaculture & Fisheries May 24-25, 2018 Osaka, Japan Fishing gears and practices used in the Amburayan River, Benguet Mary P Tauli1, Marx Perfecto C Garcia1, Annie Melinda Paz-Alberto2, Lois June B Fermin1 and Lilibeth L Signey1 1Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines 2Central Luzon State University, Philippines he Amburayan River is one of the main river systems in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) covering the provinces Tof Benguet, La Union and Ilocos Sur. Aside from being a tourism site it is the primary water source for agricultural lands along the stretch of the river. It also serves as a fishing ground to the residents because of its potential as habitat to native, endemic, migratory and indigenous fish and other aquatic organisms. Being a pathway to native, endemic and migratory species in the region, protecting the Amburayan River ecosystem and conserving its ecological integrity enhances its productivity. The assessment of fishing gears and practices used including the fish species caught by these gears is important in the management of the resources. This study on fishing gears and practices was done in three municipalities in Benguet namely; Atok, Kapangan and Kibungan. Fishing gears and practices were determined through interview with the locals in focus group discussions and direct observation during fishing. This study revealed that there are different fishing gears and practices being employed along the Amburayan River. Most of which are traditional knowledge-based and used depending on the season and location of fishing area.
