THE EXPERIENCE from EASTERN SAMAR by Jose Eleazar R
COASTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: THE EXPERIENCE FROM EASTERN SAMAR by Jose Eleazar R. Bersales Introduction There is a growing body of literature worldwide addressing strategies to manage local marine resources (Pomeroy, 1994). This appeared as a result of the alarming decline of fish catch pointed out by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other numerous independent studies (McGoodwin, 1990). At the close of the millennium, we are seeing the effects of decades of unregulated fishing in so many parts of the world. The Philippines has not been spared and suffers from the combined effects of overfishing and the use of illegal fishing gears and techniques. There is, however, a great deal of effort going on in many parts of the country discussing and actually implementing participatory strategies in coastal resources management. In Eastern Samar, the Guiuan Development Foundation, Inc. (GDFI) is concentrating its efforts to implement a community-based management strategy for the area’s coastal ecosystem. This ecosystem is characterized in a 1990 study undertaken by the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD) as exhibiting the following main features: • low fish density and abundant species indicating depauperation of reef fish populations; • live coral cover of only 20%; and, • productive areas limited either to deep waters or to reef areas far away from the main islands (FPE, 1992). The bleak picture has been brought about by extensive habitat destruction and heavy fishing pressure. The use of dynamite, sodium, and cyanide to increase fish catch, as well as the destruction of mangrove forests for fuel wood use, have largely contributed to this prevailing condition. -

However, the vast mangrove areas of the country have declined to about half of its cover in the past century. In the 1970s, action was taken to protect the remaining mangrove forests under a government initiative, recognizing the ecological benefits mangrove forests can bring. Here, we examine two mangrove areas in the Philippines—Coron in Palawan and Balangiga-Lawaan in Eastern Samar over a 30-year period. Sets of Landsat images from 1987 to 2016 were classified and spatially analyzed using four landscape metrics. Additional analyses of the mangrove areas’ spatiotemporal dynamics were conducted. The impact of typhoon landfall on the mangrove areas was also analyzed in a qualitative manner. Spatiotemporal changes indicate that both the Coron and Balangiga-Lawaan mangrove forests, though declared as protected areas, are still suffering from mangrove area loss. -

Haiyan/Yolanda Wildfires. Samar and Eastern Samar Rapid Assessment (Draft)
Haiyan/Yolanda Wildfires. Samar and Eastern Samar Rapid assessment (Draft) Date: 6 April 2014 Assessment period: end of March, 2014 Conducted by: Åsa Granath, Environmental Advisor at OCHA Wildfires in Samar and Eastern Samar. Causes and risks. 1. Introduction and background The rapid assessment of wildfires (causes and risks) was done at the request of Timo Knaute, Head of OCHA's Sub-Office in Guiuan. Wildfires were reported in Samar/Eastern Samar during a couple of weeks in areas affected by Yolanda. The fires started after a period with low precipitation and were most extensive in the end of February 2014. Wildfires were first spotted in the forests of Balangiga town (Eastern Samar) and subsequently went uncontrollable in the ensuing days, and then spread its way to Salcedo, Giporlos and some part of General McArthur. A separate burning forest likewise was reported in Marabut, (Western Samar). Scattered wildfires were also reported from the municipalities of Lawaan, Quinapondan, Basey and Guiuan. No casualties or damages to residential areas were reported. Most of the fires were extinguished by heavy rainfall. (www.philstar.com, www.inquirer.com). Map showing parts of Samar and eastern Samar. Four municipalities in Samar and eastern Samar were visited; Marabut, Lawaan, Balangiga and Guiuan Because of Yolanda there are lots of dried debris (leaves, branches) in both lowland areas, mostly debris from coconut palms, and in the uplands, that easily ignite. Burning of coconut debris to clear land is common, especially in dry weather. Household waste is also mixed with the coconut debris and burned. The assessment was conducted in cooperation with the Guiuan OCHA office. -

THE BELLS of BALANGIGA Journey Home a Tale of Tenacity and Truth by Rear Admiral Daniel W
THE BELLS OF BALANGIGA Journey Home A Tale of Tenacity and Truth by Rear Admiral Daniel W. McKinnon, Jr., SC, U.S. Navy (Retired) The three “Bells of Balangiga” on display in front of the church of San Lorenzo de Martir, Balangiga, Eastern Samar, Republic of the Philippines. The two bells on the left are those that became the famous “Bells of Balangiga.” The smaller one on the right, the “Manchu Bell,” discovered to be the real signal bell, joining the others with all now known as, “The Bells of Balangiga.” This is a story about three sailors who were able to achieve the return of two Bells to the Church of San Lorenzo de Martir in the coastal town of Balangiga, Province of Easter Samar, Republic of the Philippines, from a museum on a United States Air Force (USAF) missile base in Wyoming, when the administrations of four Philippine and four United States presidents could not. On December 14, 2018, the “Bells of Balangiga” returned to the Church of San Lorenzo de Martir on the island of Samar in the Philippines. For over 100 years they were on a military base near Cheyenne, Wyoming; first U.S. Army Fort D.A. Russell, a cavalry post and home of three regiments of the famous African-American “Buffalo Soldiers,” then renamed Francis E. Warren U. S. Air Force Base (AFB), home of the ICBM Minuteman III 90th Missile Wing and Twentieth Air Force. In 1904 two 600-pound church bells were brought to Wyoming by the U.S. Army 11th Infantry Regi- ment as souvenirs from the “Philippine Insurrection,” now officially the “Philippine-American War.” They were originally believed used to signal a September 1901 Saturday morning surprise attack by Philippine revolutionaries against Company C, 9th Infantry Regiment.
