Tago range are here documented in a checklist, along with information on their distribution and conservation status. The list is based on a comprehensive field survey conducted by the authors in 2018 and 2019 and comprises 203 species belonging to 29 families and 89 genera. Of these species, 187 are ferns and 16 are lycophytes. Eighty-six species are epiphytes, 85 are terrestrial, 12 are tree ferns, 6 are hemiepiphytes, and 14 species have more than one growth form. The number of species constitutes about 19% and 33% of the total number of pteridophyte species in the Philippines and Mindanao Island, respectively. The highest species richness was observed in the upper montane rainforest. Seventeen species are classified as broadly distributed Philippine endemics whereas four species are endemic to Mindanao. One species (Alsophila commutata Mett.) was newly documented for the Philippines and three species [Pteris whitfordii Copel., Selliguea elmeri (Copel.) Ching, and Selliguea pyrolifolia (Goldm.) Hovenkamp] were newly documented for Mindanao Island.

  • Isang Personal Na Salaysay Sa Sayyew Ng Mga Matigsalug Sa Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon
    PADAYON SINING: A CELEBRATION OF THE ENDURING VALUE OF THE HUMANITIES Presented at the 12th DLSU Arts Congress De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines February 20, 21 and 22, 2019 Pegsawwit te Kalandihan: Isang Personal na Salaysay sa Sayyew ng mga Matigsalug sa Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon Freddielyn B. Pontemayor Department of Language Education College of Education Central Mindanao University [email protected] Abstract: Ang papel na ito ay isang personal na salaysay ng mananaliksik ukol sa sayyew o sayaw ng mga Matigsalug sa Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon. Pinanatili ang terminong “pegsawwit te kalandihan” o thanksgiving to nature dahil bahagi ng kanilang buhay mula pagsilang hanggang kamatayan ang kalikasan at sa pamamagitan ng ritwal na kinalalangkapan ng pag-awit at pagsayaw, isa itong paraan upang pasalamatan ang mga espiritu ng kalikasan at diyos ng tribo sa lahat ng biyayang ipinagkaloob sa kanila (kabuhayan, talento sa sining at iba pa). Sa pamamagitan ng training-workshop, imersyon, kalahok-masid at pakikipanayam na bahagi ng programang extension at research project ng institusyong kinabibilangan, tinipon ang mga impormasyong nakalap upang makabuo ng isang diskursong pumapatungkol sa pagpapahalaga sa uri, kahulugan at layunin ng sayaw ng mga Matigsalug na sumasalamin sa kanilang tradisyon at kultura. Ang ulat na inilabas ng (NEDA, “Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016”) ay nakapagpaalarma hindi lamang sa kondisyon ng mga tribong Matigsalug na ang tanging pinagkukunan ng kanilang kabuhayan ang kalikasan, kundi isa itong babala sa lahat ng mamamayan sa Pilipinas. Gamit ang konsepto ng imitasyon, inilapat ito para bigyang-empasis ang kabuluhan ng kalikasan at ang ugnayan nito sa sayaw at kultura ng tribong Matigsalug.

  • 1 1. the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines
    1. The Rural Missionaries of the Philippines – Northern Mindanao Region (RMP- NMR) is an inter-diocesan and inter-congregational organization of men and women religious, priests, and lay people. It primarily works to support the rural poor in attaining justice, freedom, access to commons and genuine agrarian reform. 2. The data analyzed and presented in this report has been gathered through its indigenous peoples’ rights monitoring network, Katungod Lumad Monitor, established under the Healing the Hurt, a project lead implemented by RMP- NMR in partnership with indigenous peoples’ organizations in the region. The project is aimed at contributing to the advancement of the rights and continued development of indigenous peoples consistent with the spirit and letters of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Most of the data had been previously released as urgent alerts or as fact sheets communicated to different local and international human rights organizations and networks. 3. We deeply value the recommendations that had been made in the 2nd Universal Period Review Cycle. We note, however, that to this day, the conditions of the indigenous peoples in the communities we serve have remained the same, if not worsened. The Right of the Lumad to their territories 4. The land is at the core of the indigenous peoples. Their identity, their cultural, political and economic activities are rooted in the land they have been living on for generations. 5. Philippine legislation, however, has allowed the legal displacement of the Lumad1 from their territories. Foremost among these laws is unfortunately the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA)2.

  • RELEARNING the DANCE Malaybalay, Bukidnon the Beat Of
    RELEARNING THE DANCE Malaybalay, Bukidnon The beat of gong to drum seems to chill a crowded auditorium in Malaybalay. The musicians are children, from tiny to teenager. Lights dim, drums cease, silence ensues. And then, from the center of the crowd on stage raises a body which flexes in dramatic movements. After some plucked strings from a hallowed-log instrument, the boat-lute, a melody heightens the anticipation of those around me watching the dance. The young dancer does a squatted hop and jerks his limbs in synchronized rhythm. His palms reach the floor through the backs of his legs and it becomes obvious which tiny creature he is imitating. "This is binakbak, or frog dance," volunteers the tour guide, who is seated to my left. As the music continues, various tribes of Bukidnon display their ethnic dances. The costumes are bright and colorful. Their song is deep with lyrical philosophy. Though I do not understand this dialect, it is plain to see that music is a language which, when produced in earnest, transcends even boundaries of the tongue. And so, the dance intensifies, long into the night. For this particular Festival, the Kaamulan, celebrations center around dance. With chanting, of course, and by the end of the night, increased yelling. Since the beginning of the earth's first dawn, it seems, men and women of every race and culture have conveyed messages through dance. They have emulated forces of Nature, captured the movement of flighty animals in their body's prose, and passed on the dance rituals from generation to generation.

  • Northern Mindanao Caraga Region SOCCSKSARGEN Region Davao
    MINDANAO Zamboanga Peninsula Northern Mindanao Davao Region SOCCSKSARGEN Region Caraga Region ARMM Region Mindanao is the second largest and southernmost island in the Philippines. It is also the name of one of the three island groups in the country (the other two being Luzon and the Visayas), consisting of the island of Mindanao and smaller surrounding islands. Mindanao is the only geographical area of the Philippines with a significantly large Muslim presence. The southernmost part of Mindanao, particularly Maguindanao Province, Lanao del Sur, Sulu, and Tawi-tawi provinces (part of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)), are home to a sizeable Muslim population. Due to widespread poverty and religious differences, the island has seen a communist insurgency as well as armed Moro separatist movements. Mindanao, about the same area as South Korea, is considered the agricultural basin of the Philippines. Eight of the top 10 agri-commodities exported from the Philippines come from here. History Mindanao is named after the Maguindanaons who constituted the largest Sultanate historically, and evidence from maps made during the 17th and 18th centuries suggests that the name was used to refer to the island by the powerful natives at the time. Mindanao Island is also a sacred home of the largest non-Muslim Subanon Tribe; the aborigine of the Zamboanga Peninsula’s Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, Island of Basilan, and northern provinces of Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, and Misamis Oriental. Subanen (read as Subanon) people are native to the Zamboanga Peninsula, Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao.
