  • Bat Count 2003
    BAT COUNT 2003 Working to promote the long term, sustainable conservation of globally threatened flying foxes in the Philippines, by developing baseline population information, increasing public awareness, and training students and protected area managers in field monitoring techniques. 1 A Terminal Report Submitted by Tammy Mildenstein1, Apolinario B. Cariño2, and Samuel Stier1 1Fish and Wildlife Biology, University of Montana, USA 2Silliman University and Mt. Talinis – Twin Lakes Federation of People’s Organizations, Diputado Extension, Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines Photo by: Juan Pablo Moreiras 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large flying foxes in insular Southeast Asia are the most threatened of the Old World fruit bats due to deforestation, unregulated hunting, and little conservation commitment from local governments. Despite the fact they are globally endangered and play essential ecological roles in forest regeneration as seed dispersers and pollinators, there have been only a few studies on these bats that provide information useful to their conservation management. Our project aims to promote the conservation of large flying foxes in the Philippines by providing protected area managers with the training and the baseline information necessary to design and implement a long-term management plan for flying foxes. We focused our efforts on the globally endangered Philippine endemics, Acerodon jubatus and Acerodon leucotis, and the bats that commonly roost with them, Pteropus hypomelanus, P. vampyrus lanensis, and P. pumilus which are thought to be declining in the Philippines. Local participation is an integral part of our project. We conducted the first national training workshop on flying fox population counts and conservation at the Subic Bay area.

All regions exhibited positive performance in 2017, led by CAR, Davao Region, Western Visayas, SOCCSKSARGEN, ARMM, Cagayan Valley, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Caraga. Growth in the regions has been broad‐based and benefited largely from the remarkable improvement in the agriculture sector. Favorable weather conditions and sufficient water supply supported strong yields of major crops. Palay and corn production grew by 16.2 percent and 9.6 percent in 2017, from previous year’s contraction of 4.5 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively. Swine and fish production grew, albeit, at a slower pace while chicken production rose amid high demand for poultry products in Eastern and Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula and Caraga regions. However, cattle production contracted in 2017 due to typhoon damage, incidence of animal deaths, less stocks available, and unfavorable market prices, among others.

The ASEAN National Tourism Organizations (ASEAN NTOs) formulated a Plan of Action for ASEAN Co-operation in Tourism which includes the facilitation of investment within the region. Tourism has become a key industry and an important generator of income and employment for countries in the region. The rapid growth of tourism in recent years has attracted the interest of potential investors who are keen to be involved in this industry. One of the measures under the Implementation of Roadmap for Integration of Tourism Sector (Tourism Investment) is the Incentives for Development of Tourism Infrastructure (Measure no. 20). The objective of this measure is to provide incentives for the development of tourism infrastructure so as to encourage private investment in the ASEAN countries coming from investors within and outside the region.

  • Estimation of Tourists' Willingness to Pay Entrance Fees for a Forest
    ESTIMATION OF TOURISTS’ WILLINGNESS TO PAY ENTRANCE FEES FOR A FOREST BATHING SITE IN THE PHILIPPINES Katherine Gail V. Uyan1* 1University of the Philippines Open University, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines, 4031 *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Received in June 2020 • Revised in September 2020 • Accepted in May 2021 • Published in May 2021 ABSTRACT – Forest bathing is in its infancy in the Philippines. Because of this, the valuation of the health benefits derived from forest bathing in the country has not been studied. This paper aims to value the health benefits derived from a forest bathing facility in Camp John Hay, Baguio through the payment of entrance fees. A survey of 60 people was conducted and results were processed using the Contingent Valuation method. The survey revealed that respondents’ mean willingness to pay (WTP) value is USD 15** (Php 770) and the median is USD 10 (Php 500). Respondents with medical conditions gave significantly higher WTP values compared to healthy individuals. Livelihood and revenues are lost because of the restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is proposed that the John Hay Management Corporation together with the Department of Tourism re-package forest bathing as an activity, which will enhance the citizenry’s well-being and propose this to the pandemic task force. The proposed entrance fee is the mean amount inclusive of safety measures prioritizing a registration system and crowd control measures. ** Exchange rate is USD 1 = PHP 50 Keywords: Contingent Valuation Method, ecosystem services, forest benefits, health, nature therapy, COVID-19 INTRODUCTION Humans evolved in the natural environment for the last seven million years.

  • Negros Del Norte, the Philippines
    BIRD TOURISM REPORTS 9/2016 Petri Hottola NEGROS DEL NORTE, THE PHILIPPINES Fig. 1. A Philippine Coucal at Rafael Salas Center access Rd, in a spread-wing posture, after rain. In 2016, between 3rd to 8th August, I visited the northern part of the island of Negros, in the Philippines. The time was spent at and around Mt. Kanlaon, the traditional even though severely threatened haven of Negros endemism. I flew in from Cebu City, on a Cebu Pacific ATR and had another flight to Manila, on a larger Cebu Pacific jetliner. I have no complaints on the conditions or service on board of the Cebu Pacific flights, but the latter flight was delayed by three hours because of capacity problems in Manila. I therefore had to postpone a visit to La Mesa Ecopark, scheduled for the next day. Fortunately, everything went well a day after (see separate report). The NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) is not able to handle all the traffic it receives nowadays and there is no space to expand the runways. The only solution probably is another airport further away from Metro Manila. Well, at least there was interesting news to read while waiting for the flight. Each day after President Rodrigo Duterte came into power in the Philippines has been a good day for news reporters… Fig. 2. Waiting for a flight to Manila, at Bacolod-Silay International Airport. The island of Negros has several species endemic to it. Among them, the Negros Fruit Dove is the most enigmatic one, barely discovered in 1953 at Mt.
