DENR Secretary Roy A. Cimatu said the arrest of the suspects is part of the department's renewed commitment to "conserve specific terrestrial and marine areas representative of the Philippine natural and cultural heritage for present and future generations" amid the pandemic. "We will continue to apprehend these illegal wildlife traders whether we have a pandemic or not. This is what the DENR can always assure the public," Cimatu said. He noted that illegal wildlife traders have become more brazen since the pandemic began, but assured that the DENR remains vigilant to protect the biodiversity. DENR’s Environmental Protection and Enforcement Task Force (EPETF) arrested Rendel Santos, 21, and Alvin Santos, 48, for illegal possession and selling of two (2) Umbrella cockatoos (Cacatua alba) at Barangay Pagala in Baliuag, Bulacan last May 2. The DENR-Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Baliuag, Bulacan said the suspects were not issued a permit to transport the cockatoos. The Umbrella cockatoo is listed under Appendix II of the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that the species is not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled.

Pingoy Medical Center, Koronadal City, South Cotabato; 3St. Anthony Medical Hospital, Marikina City; 4Roel I Senador Memorial Hospital, South Cotabato; 5Movement Disorders Center and Section of Neurology, International Institute for Neurosciences, St Luke’s Medical Center –Quezon City and Global City, Philippines *Contact Details: [email protected] ABSTRACT: X-linked dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP) is an adult-onset, progressive, debilitating movement disorder, mani- festing predominantly with dystonia in combination with Parkinsonism. It was first reported in 1975 among males in Panay Island. Migrants from Panay Island occupied the region of South Cotabato in Mindanao with its capital Koronadal City. The estimated population of the region is 912,957 as of 2015 and the dominant ethnicity, comprising 51%, are from Panay Island. This paper calls attention to this migration and aimed to identify cases and describe the clinical picture of XDP in Koronadal City. A descriptive study using the screening questionnaire for XDP was used per barangay to look for possible cases. Cases were confirmed through interview and assessment by a movement disorder specialist. Four cases of XDP from Koronadal City were seen. They were all male, presenting with generalized dystonia. The phenomenology of these cases is similar to the 2011 study involving 312 patients.

This specific type of Binanog dance comes from the Panay-Bukidnon indigenous community in Panay Island, Western Visayas, Philippines.

The KALAHI–CIDDS National Community-Driven Development Project (KC-NCDDP) spans the whole archipelago, reaching 15 regions, 63 provinces, and 900 municipalities. Poor municipalities covered by the program abound the most in Region V (Bicol) and Region VIII (Eastern Visayas) which are along the country’s eastern seaboard often visited by typhoons. The 900 municipalities do not include yet the 104 poor municipalities in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The NCDDP will include the ARMM, with the development partners supporting the required capacity building for program implementation and the government providing grants for community subprojects. The new regions in the program are Regions I, II, and III, which have small number of poor municipalities. 2. Of particular concern are the provinces that have been affected by Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) in 8 November 2013: Eastern Samar, Western Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Cebu, Iloilo, Capiz, Aklan, and Palawan, and by the Visayas earthquake of 15 October 2013: Bohol and Cebu.
