To assess the nutrition biomarkers of children and other population groups (e.g. hemoglobin, serum retinol, urinary iodine excretion, etc.); Specific Objectives: 3. To determine the following: • the prevalence of non-communicable disease risk factors of 10 years old and above • energy and nutrient intake at the household and individual levels; • the magnitude of food insecurity and coping mechanisms among households; Specific Objectives: 3. To determine the following: • the participation of households and individuals in selected health and nutrition related programs; • feeding practices of infants and young children, 0-23 months; • maternal nutrition and health status among mothers with 0-36 month old children and pregnant women; Specific Objectives: 4.

On the average, the region’s inflation rate declined by 0.9 percentage point to settle at 2.4 percent in Q2 this year from 3.3 percent in the same period last year. The region’s inflation rate continued to slow down from 2.6 percent in April 2019 to 2.0 percent in June 2019, a decrease of 0.6 percentage point between those Source: PSA Caraga periods. This was attributed to the slow price increases in the overall price indices over time Figure 2.

    2018 First Semester Poverty Statistics of Caraga Date of Release: September 2019 Reference No. 2019 - 026 Poverty and Food Thresholds The poverty threshold in Caraga in the first semester of 2018 was estimated at PhP12,314 per capita. This means that a person in the region needed at least PhP12,314 for six months or about PhP2,052 monthly to meet his or her basic food and non-food needs. A family with five members needed no less than PhP10,262 monthly to meet the family’s basic food and non-food needs. This amount was 8.98 percent higher than the poverty threshold in the first semester of 2015. Poverty threshold is the minimum income required to meet the basic food and non-food needs such as clothing, fuel, light and water, housing, rental of occupied dwelling units, transportation and communication, health and education expenses, non-durable furnishing, household operations and personal care and effects. If the income falls below the poverty threshold, the individual or family is considered poor. Table 1.

It is a distinctive component of a relatively low-elevation, highly biodiverse montane elfin forest that has evolved in association with a particularly thin and extremely hostile substrate. Plant habit, and leaf, inflorescence, indumentum and peristome-column morphology appear superficially similar to those of the ultramaficolous montane species of Palawan, implicating an environmental basis for a syndrome of shared characteristics.

  • Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Crop Yields in the Philippines
    ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON CROP YIELDS IN THE PHILIPPINES FH Bordey, WB Collado, RF Sandoval, and R Espenido 1. INTRODUCTION The Philippines is one of the countries considered to be medium food secure. In 2014, the country had an overall score of 49.4 out of 100 in the Global Food Security Index and is grouped with countries with “moderate environment” based on availability, affordability, and quality and safety of food (EIU, 2014). The country is also improving in terms of eradicating extreme hunger and poverty. According to the Millennium Development Goal Report (UN, 2010), the Philippines was able to reduce the proportion of its population living below $1.25 (PPP) per day from 30.7% in 1991 to 18.4% in 2009. However, the occurrence of climate change and its persistence in the near future could seriously undermine the progress made in achieving food security. The Philippines is particularly vulnerable to impacts of weather-related loss events such as storms, floods, and heat waves. A long-term Global Climate Risk Index from 1994 to 2013 indicated that the Philippines is one of the 10 most affected countries and it ranked first in 2013 (Kreft et al., 2015). Unfortunately, such events are expected to be more frequent and intense given the changing climate. Future climate simulation in the Philippines under the mid-range scenario indicated a rise in annual mean temperature by 0.9 to 1.1°C in 2020 and by 1.8 to 2.2°C in 2050 (PAGASA, 2011). The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical 1 Services Administration (PAGASA) further reported the increased likelihood of rainfall reduction during dry months of March to May in most provinces.

    Bringing Fish Catch to Homes Fresh via Fish Liner or Walkathon: Agusan del Norte, Philippines in Focus Joseph Christopher C. Rayos, Ciara Mae B. Eom, and Cathleen D. Dela Cruz In many rural areas in the Philippines, fresh fish catch does not usually reach the communities and homes because of transportation and accessibility constraints. As a result, the fish catch that comes to rural areas had already been either smoked or pickled or salted or processed in some other ways. Many enterprising sellers, not only the big-time traders but also retailers, have made several attempts to reach the rural communities in the Philippines immediately upon getting their share of fresh fish catch, but these only resulted in heavy competitions to the disadvantage of the retailers or the small-scale vendors who could not easily access the rural areas due to inaccessible road conditions. For this reason, retailers or small-scale vendors Figure 1. Province of Agusan del Norte in Mindanao, Philippines have rethought of the ways on how to reach the rural (Source: Google Map) consuming public in no time, and this paved the way for the conceptualization of the “fish liner” or “walkathon.” Innovation and a showcase of modern Filipino resiliency, a simple motorcycle which is eventually the most convenient transportation that could easily reach the rural areas, has been remodeled into a vehicle for transporting fresh fish for sale. Although “walkathon” refers to a walking marathon, Figure 2. Nile tilapia the locals in Agusan del Norte use it to denote an ingenious (Oreochromis niloticus) means of transporting and vending fresh fish catch.
