    20 MAY 2021, Thursday Headline STRATEGIC May 20, 2021 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE Opinion Page Feature Article DENR nabs two wildlife traffickers in Bulacan, rescues endangered cockatoos By DENRPublished on May 19, 2021 QUEZON CITY, MAy 19 -- In a spate of wildlife enforcement operations in the past weeks, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has successfully arrested two individuals who were selling umbrella cockatoos online. 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.

Reyes Jose Ramon G. Albert Francis Mark A. Quimba Ma. Kristina P. Ortiz Ronina D. Asis PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES December 2018 1 Abstract For many years, the Boracay island in the province of Aklan has been a favorite tourist destination in the country. The increasing influx of both international and local tourists, coupled with the improper management of wastes and poor implementation of environmental policies and guidelines, has aggravated the island’s environmental condition and sustainability. This year, the government has decided to close down the island to address these critical concerns. This study looks into the potential economic effects of this recent directive, which is intended to last for six months from May to October 2018.

  • Investigating Tourists' Airport Choice in the Multi-Airport Region of Aklan
    Investigating Tourists’ Airport Choice in the Multi-Airport Region of Aklan, Philippines and Its Implications on Airport Capacity Expansion Decisions Noriel Christopher TIGLAO a a Associate Professor, National College of Public Administration and Governance, University of the Philippines, Diliman, 1101 Quezon City; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Airport development decisions in a multi-airport region are rather complex because the concerned airports are part of a network of airports. The decision-making process to a great degree depends on reliable estimates of passenger demand at the different airports. Previous researches highlight the need for airline authorities to know the potential passengers’ sensitivity to price, frequency and accessibility when developing a new strategy or new market. These sensitivities are necessary to accurately forecast the demand and opportunities for cost recovery of investments in airport or airline capacity. This is clearly the case for the Kalibo and Caticlan airports which both serve Boracay island, a world-famous tourist destination. This paper argues that airport capacity expansion decisions need to take into account a multi-airport perspective in assessing the value and timeliness of such investments. Planning scenarios based on calibrated airport choice model are developed to evaluate the market size of each airport. Keywords: Airport choice, Multi-airport region, Airport planning 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Airport development decisions in a multi-airport region are rather complex because the concerned airports are part of a network of airports. The decision-making process to a great degree depends on reliable estimates of passenger demand at the different airports. The evolution of these systems typically occurs over long time horizons and involves multiple stakeholders (i.e.
