NO. 2008- 04 SUEUECT : THE 2009 UPLAND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (REFORESTATION AND AGROFORESTRY) The resources of the DENR for CY 2009 in forest development and management have been substantially reconfigured in order to accelerate the restoration of the environmental service functions of vital watersheds and protected areas. This, in addition to simultaneously catalyzing the improvement of productivity of the uplands, creating incomes for upland poor, mitigating hunger among highly-vulnerable populations, engaging organized upland communities, civil society and local governments in sustainable upland and forest management, and providing the climate for gainful economic production for poor upland dwellers. Hence, the following guidelines are hereby issued for the guidance, information, and strict implementation of all concerned. Objecffues The investments under the Program aim to attain the following objectives: 1. To create immediate additional incomes for upland households in support of the Hunger Mitigation Program, and supporting the development of sustainable livelihoods; 2. To develop and manage watersheds of irrigation and municipal water systems, headwaters of major river systems, mangrove, coastal zones, protected areas, and protection forestlands; 3. To pump-prime the local economy in the uplands where investments are made; 4. To demonstrate measurable and verifiable positive effects on the environmental se~ces,including water, soil conservation, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.

  • P18-B Panay River Basin Project to Be Funded by China Nation by Louine Hope U
    P18-B Panay River Basin project to be funded by China Nation By Louine Hope U. Conserva Correspondent Business World, Posted on January 10, 2017 ILOILO CITY -- The proposed Panay River Basin Integrated Development Project (PRBIDP), estimated to cost P18 billion, will be bankrolled by a soft loan from China, according to the new National Irrigation Administration (NIA) head. NIA Administrator Peter T. Laviña, who visited Iloilo City this week, said the PRBIDP, considered as the biggest irrigation project within the next three years, was among the big- ticket items presented by President Rodrigo R. Duterte during his official visit to China in October 2016. Mr. Laviña said the Chinese expressed eagerness for the project and the terms of the loan, which will be based on the completed feasibility study, is now being assessed. “But if this will be funded by China, most likely this will be very low interest rates loan or concessional loan,” he told the local media here. NIA-Western Visayas Regional Irrigation Manager Gerardo P. Corsiga said the feasibility study has already been endorsed by the Provincial Development Council of Capiz. “We will elevate it (feasibility study) to the Regional Development Council (and) we will submit it to the National Economic Development Authority central office for further evaluation,” Mr. Corsiga said. The PRBIDP, to be located in the town of Tapaz, will be bigger than the South Korea-funded P11.2 billion Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project Phase II in Calinog, Iloilo in terms of coverage area. It will have two dams -- the Panay High Dam and Panay Afterbay Dam; a high line canal; and a floodway component.

  • Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.

  • Bulabog Puti-An National Park Tour Package
    The BPNP covers the municipalities of Dingle and San Enrique, Province of Iloilo. It was proclaimed under Presidential Proclamation No. 760 as a National Park in 1961 by President Carlos P. Garcia. The park is known for its unique geological formation and is the only limestone mountain formation in Iloilo Province. It is also known as the location of the "Cry of Lincud" which started the Philippine Revolution in Iloilo in 1898. The BPNP is home to 30 remarkable caves. However, only four of these caves are occasionally trekked/explored by tourists because others may either have small openings or found alongside cliffs. These are Tuko Cave, Maestranza Cave, Guizo Cave, and Lapus-lapus Cave. It is named as such because of the number of tukos or geckos inhabiting it. It is a small cave of elegant stalactites and stalagmites formations. It is considered a historical cave declared by the National Historical Institute because it served as the hideaway for Filipino guerillas, with the presence of inscription inside the cave wall that reads "Los Republicanos Juran Morir Antes Que Entregarse" or "The Republicans Swear to Die Before Surrendering". The cave is also a cultural and religious site for Roman Catholics who visit the place every Holy Week to do "via cruzes" or "way of the cross" BPNP also houses many endemic species such as black tarantula, snail, millipede, tailless whip, scorpion, Philippine orange tarantula, flying fox, pit viper, etc. The Moroboro Dam of the Jalaur river is also another tourist spot in the park. It is built in 1955 to provide additional water supply, improve irrigation in the Province of Iloilo, augment electric power supply through a hydroelectric plant and enhance flood mitigation measures which serves the towns of Dingle, Barotac Nuevo, Dumangas and Zarraga..
