Subic Bay, Philippines
DIETARY HABITS OF TWO THREATENED CO- ROOSTING FLYING FOXES (MEGACHIROPTERA), SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES By Samuel Cord Stier B.A. Brown University, 1990 Presented in partial fnlfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science The University of Montana 2003 Approved by: Dr. Stephen F. Siebert, Chairperson Dean, Graduate School Date Stier, Sam C., M.S., May 2003 Forestry Dietary Habits of Two Threatened Co Roosting- Flying Foxes (Megachiroptera), Subic Bay, Philippines Director: Dr. Stephen F. Siebert I studied the dietary habits of two threatened flying fox species, Acerodon juhatus and Pteropus vampyrus, at Subic Bay, Philippines, in an effort to provide managers with information useful for protected area zoning, compatible use planning, hunter education/regulation, and forest restoration design. The results also provide insight into the autecology and interspecific relationships of these co roosting- species. I used fecal analysis, interviews of bat hunters, and personal observations to describe the dietary habits of both bat species. Dietary items were deemed ‘important’ if used consistently on a seasonal basis or throughout the year, ubiquitously throughout the population, and if they were of known nutritional importance. Of the 771 droppings examined over a 2.5 year period, seeds from Ficus spp. were predominant in the droppings of both species and met these criteria, particularly hemi epiphytic- species (41% of A. jubatus droppings) and Ficus variegata (34% of P. vampyrus droppings, 22% of A. jubatus droppings). Information from bat hunter interviews expanded the knowledge of dietary composition of both bat species, and corroborated the fecal analyses and personal observations. Results from this study suggestXhdLt A.

15 Indigenous Religions and Christianity in the Modernization
• INDiGENOUS REliGIONS AND CHRISTIANITY IN THE MOIDlERNIZAnON PROCESS OF THE PIDUPPINES Francisco lR. [kll1l1lemo, S.1., Ph.D. ~vielllUll1lRveJrSity There was until last year in the Kawasaki area in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental, a Balete tree that stood alone in the midst of that industrial complex. This tree had resisted all efforts to fell it since the very beginning. A number of lives had been lost as the Hanil, a Korean Road Building Corporation, tried to get it out the r· way. The folks around claimed that the environmental spirits or engkantos have their hospital there; hence, they would never think of leaving the place. Since the spirits were adamant, the engineers had to yield and the tree was left standing in all its splendor until a mananambal was called in to intercede. After the performance of appropriate sacrifices, the mananambal was fmally able to fell the tree and a fee of P' 1000 was paid for his services. A mute testi mony to the power of the "spirits" over man and his technical projects. Perhaps, too, it was a mute witness to something else. This, we shall try to isolate in the course of this paper. As the title reads, my paper is expected to be a descriptive .. one, describing the roles of indigenous religions and Christianity in the modernization process. Definition of Terms 1. Indigenous religions refer to the religions of the various non-Christian ethnic groups, whether they are found in the ex treme north, in the central Bisayas or in the hinterlands of the south. I will not include folk Islam because that will make this • paper overly long.

2004 Compendium of Philippine Environment Statistics
Compendium of Philippine Environment Statistics 2 0 0 4 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG- ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) http://www.nscb.gov.ph Compendium of Philippine Environment Statistics 2004 November 2004 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG-ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) FOREWORD This is the third issue of the Compendium of Philippine Environment Statistics. The compendium is a compilation of statistical information collected from data produced by various government agencies and from data available in different statistical publications. The compilation of statistical data in this compendium is based on the Philippine Framework of Environment Statistics (PFDES) which in turn is based on the United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics. It covers data for the period 1992 to 2002, whenever possible. Latest figures presented vary depending on the availability of data. The PFDES provides a systematic approach to the development of environment statistics and is an instrument for compiling and integrating data coming from various data collecting institutions to make them more useful in the formulation and evaluation of socio-economic and environmental programs and policies. As in the previous editions, the focus of this compendium is on the five main items of environmental issues, namely: flora/fauna, atmosphere, water, land, mineral and energy and human settlements. The NSCB will strive to further improve the scope and coverage of the compendium in the future. It is hoped that this compendium will serve as a useful and convenient reference on the Philippine environment. With this publication the NSCB fulfills in part its function of providing information to planners, decision makers, researchers and other users towards sustainable development.

Explain then the fiction and show the children the folly of belief in such fanciful tales.
