The five samples were collected in a prescribed standardized manner by personnel of the Economic Development Foundation, Inc., of Manila in order to allow preliminary decisions about potential sources of indigenous coal for use in CWM fuels. At a meeting of all project participants in August, decisions included plans for collection and evaluation of information about the quantity and quality of Philippine coals. This volume is the result of field, office, and laboratory work during the period August 1984-March 1985 by a large number of research and support personnel of the USGS in Reston, Virginia, and Denver, Colorado. The USGS personnel who performed the project work described in this volume are M. D. Carter, J. H.. Medlin, and the team leader, E. R. Landis. Review and editing of reports and coordination of activities with the Office of Energy in the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under whose auspices the investigations were done, were the the tasks of M. J. Bergin. An executive summary and overview and volumes II through V, which have been prepared by other agencies and contractors involved with the coal-water-mix fuel feasibility study in the Philippines, are available through the agency for International Development library system. These include: Executive summary and overview by the Agency for International Development Volume II - Formulation of CWM-fuel from Philippine coals by the Brookhaven National Laboratory Volume III - Power plant retrofit and performance by Burns and Roe, Inc. Volume IV - The CWM-fuel supply system by Burns and Roe, Inc. and Development Sciences, Inc. Volume V - Financial and economic analysis by Development Sciences, Inc. TM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS From the very beginning, the project to introduce coal-water-mix (CWM) fuels to the Philippines has required and successfully demonstrated close cooperation among all participants. Leadership of the various participating groups has been uniformly excellent, and Purita M. Festin of the Economic Development Foundation (EOF) of the Philippines, Thomas E. O'Hare and Thomas Butcher of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Morton Gorden of Development Sciences, Inc. (DSI), and Egon A. Kimel of Burns and Roe, Inc. (B&R) deserve special thanks. In particular, the patient and understanding overall leadership of Charles Bliss of the Office of Energy, USAID, is appreciated. Our part in the project would not have been possible without the continuing and valuable assistance of Richard Stevenson of USAID/Manila and Rufino B. Bomasang of the Bureau of Energy Development (BED) of the Philippines. Our field and office work in the Philippines would not have been possible without the cooperation and help of Juan Molina of EOF, George B. Baquiran of Semirara Coal Company, Arturo M.

The four areas studied as part of the CWM-fuel project represent about 40 percent of the estimated national resources. The four estimates are (in millions of metric tons): Resource potential Mineable reserves Semirara "550 79 Sibuguey Peninsula 45 or 50 10 or 11 South Mindoro 100 2.4 Samar 27 _ 6.3 More than 40 percent of the mineable res.erves have been estimated for the Island of Semirara by detailed exploration in preparation for present and future open-pit mining. By comparison, the combined estimated mineable reserves of the South Mindoro area, the Sibuguey Peninsula (La!at and Malangas areas), and the Samar-Leyte area are less than 15 percent of the total estimated mineable reserves of the Philippines. Compared to Semirara, these three other regions range from only partly explored the Sibuguey Peninsula to essentially unexplored South Mindoro and Samar. In all casas, the quality variations for_the coal included in the cited estimated mineable reserves are uncertain. Two resource figures, both dated 1984, are available for the Sibuguey Peninsula, but neither may include very recent estimates for the Lalat area, which, when reassessed, might increase the'mineable reserve figure by about 7 million tons. The estimate for Samar may-aat_Jnclude very recent estimates for the Carbon Creek area, which could increase the mineable reserve estimates as much as 5 million tons* All the estimates, except that for Semirara^ are conservative* The coals of the Philippines range in rank from lignitic to bituminous with the bulk categorized as subbituminous C and B. They range in grade from low (1 percent, or less) to high (more than 3 percent) sulfur, and low (less than 8 percent) to high (more than 15 percent) ash. The Semirara coal, as recently shipped to Luzon for power generation and other uses, such as cement manufacture, has the following quality characteristics in weight percent and heat value in Btu/lb: As-received Air-dried Mean Range Mean Range Moisture . 25.7 23-29 17.6 15-20 Ash 16.4 12-21 17.5 14-22 Volatile matter 29.3 24-31 33.7 31-36 Fixed carbon 27.8 24-31 31.2 27-35 Sulfur 0.5 0.4-0.6 0.6 0.5-0.7 Heat value (Btu/lb). 7138 '6627-7630 7981 7232-8679 The weighted arithmetic means of analyses of 22 shipments of Semirara coal received by the National Power Corporation (NPC) in 1984 are similar to the above-cited analytical means. Semirara coal with much less ash and with higher heat value than cited in the above table is represented by two recent analyses; one from a sample collected early in the CWM fuel study from a coal bed exposed in the Unong mine, the other from a sample of a 1,000-ton shipment of "selected Semirara coal" sent to the Calaca generating plant in February 1984. These two samples show 9 and 6 percent ash, and 8,209 and 8,547 Btu/lb, respectively. Both have 26 percent moisture on the as-received basis. The Semirara coal quality assumed for design purposes in the CWM fuel study is as follows on the as-received basis: 24 percent moisture, 14 percent ash, 33 percent volatile matter, and 7,507 Btu/lb heat value.

  • Chapter 26: Philippines
    26 Philippines 26.1 Summary of Coal Industry 26.1.1 ROLE OF COAL IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES Currently, coal-fired thermal power plants remain the number one producer of electricity and accounted for a total of 5,568 megawatts (MW), or 33 percent, of the Republic of the Philippines’ total installed power generating capacity in 2012 (PDOE, 2014a). The Philippines consumed 16.3 million tonnes (Mmt) of coal in 2012, around 75 percent of which was for power generation (EIA, 2014; Ocampo, 2012). The Philippines relies on imports to meet coal demand, importing 10.6 Mmt from Indonesia and 277 thousand tonnes from Vietnam in 2011 (Ocampo, 2012). The Philippine Energy Plan 2012-2030 (PEP) projects coal demand to increase by more than 70 percent between 2012 and 2030 (PDOE, 2014b). The country’s recoverable coal reserves, as shown in Table 26-1, are estimated at 315 Mmt, with most reserves as lignite. Total coal resources compiled by the Geothermal and Coal Resources Development Division (GCRDD) of the Department of Energy of the Philippines, are estimated at a minimum of 2,268.4 Mmt (USGS, 2006). The Philippines produced 8.0 Mmt of coal in 2012, the highest annual production to date. Coal production is increasing rapidly, more than doubling between 2008 and 2012 (EIA, 2014). The PEP projects domestic coal production to continue to increase, reaching more than 11 Mmt in 2015 and more than 12.5 Mmt in 2020 (PDOE, 2014b). Table 26-1. Philippines’ Coal Reserves and Production Sub- Anthracite & bituminous Total Global Rank Indicator Bituminous & Lignite (million tonnes) (# and %) (million tonnes) (million tonnes) Estimated Proved Coal Reserves 41 275 315 41 (0.04%) (2011) Annual Coal Production (2012) 8.0 0.0 8.0 29 (0.10%) Source: EIA (2014) The combined lignite and sub-bituminous coal reserves of the Philippines, including indicated and inferred reserves, are about 1,899.2 Mmt, which make up about 84 percent of the total coal reserves of the Philippines.

  • LIFE of FOREST STEWARDS (Part 1) August 7, 2021
    LIFE OF FOREST STEWARDS (Part 1) August 7, 2021 What is it like to be a Forest Ranger or a Forest Extension Officer? How do you bear patrolling on foot the 10,000 hectares per month target? Or what are the challenges in assisting communities that implements the government’s flagship greening program? There are a lot of interesting facts about being forest stewards. Let us listen to their stories. It’s a hard, tough climb to the second highest peak at 2,117 meters above sea level (masl) in Western Visayas. As majestic as it looks, Mt. Madja-as also holds diverse biological treasures yet to be discovered but more to be protected. Formatted: Font: (Default) Open Sans, 13 pt, Font color: Custom Color(RGB(238,238,238)) Mila Portaje walks inside Bulabog Puti-an National Park. In this beautiful mountain landscape works Margarito Manalo, Jr., one of the Forest Rangers assigned to the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Culasi, Antique which covers the jurisdictional upland territories of the municipalities of Culasi, Sebaste, Barbaza, Caluya, Tibiao, Pandan and Libertad. Manalo is one of the team leaders who patrol the forestland areas spanning 64,669.00 hectares. Armed with loving courage and knowledge on forestry laws, Forest Rangers like Margarito would face consequences along their patrol trails that sometimes surprise them and challenge their innovation skills. At one time during their LAWIN patrol, he and his team found abandoned lumbers in the timberland area of Alojipan, Culasi. Regretfully, they could not ask for reinforcement to haul the forest products since it was a dead spot area, and they could neither send a text message nor make a call.

The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOLUME XXIII NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1925 Editor CLARK WISSLER FOREWORD Louis ROBERT SULLIVAN Since this volume is largely the work of the late Louis Robert Sulli- van, a biographical sketch of this able anthropologist, will seem a fitting foreword. Louis Robert Sullivan was born at Houlton, Maine, May 21, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Houlton and was graduated from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, in 1914. During the following academic year he taught in a high school and on November 24, 1915, he married Bessie Pearl Pathers of Lewiston, Maine. He entered Brown University as a graduate student and was assistant in zoology under Professor H. E. Walters, and in 1916 received the degree of master of arts. From Brown University Mr. Sullivan came to the American Mu- seum of Natural History, as assistant in physical anthropology, and during the first years of his connection with the Museum he laid the foundations for his future work in human biology, by training in general anatomy with Doctor William K. Gregory and Professor George S. Huntington and in general anthropology with Professor Franz Boas. From the very beginning, he showed an aptitude for research and he had not been long at the Museum ere he had published several important papers. These activities were interrupted by our entrance into the World War. Mr. Sullivan was appointed a First Lieutenant in the Section of Anthropology, Surgeon-General's Office in 1918, and while on duty at headquarters asisted in the compilation of the reports on Defects found in Drafted Men and Army Anthropology.

  • Are Insular Populations of the Philippine Falconet (Microhierax Erythrogenys) Steps in a Cline?
    The Condor 115(3):576–583 The Cooper Ornithological Society 2013 ARE INSULAR POPULATIONS OF THE PHILIPPINE FALCONET (MICROHIERAX ERYTHROGENYS) STEPS IN A CLINE? TODD E. KATZNER1,2,5 AND NIGEL J. COLLAR3,4 1Division of Forestry and Natural Resources, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV 26506-6125 2USDA Forest Service, Timber and Watershed Laboratory, Parsons, WV 3BirdLife International, Cambridge CB3 0NA, UK 4Natural History Museum, Tring, Herts HP23 6AP, UK Abstract. Founder effects, new environments, and competition often produce changes in species colonizing islands, although the resulting endemism sometimes requires molecular identification. One method to identify fruitful areas for more detailed genetic study is through comparative morphological analyses. We measured 210 museum specimens to evaluate the potential morphological consequences of colonization across the Philippine archipelago by the Philippine Falconet (Microhierax erythrogenys). Measurements of both males and females dif- fered clearly from island to island. Univariate and multivariate analysis of characteristics showed a latitudinal gra- dient, with the bill, wing, and tail of southern birds being larger than those of northern birds, forming the pattern of a stepped cline across a succession of islands. The stepped gradient in morphology and extensive differences between islands we observed provide evidence for multiple perspectives on phylogeny, including concordance with aggregate complexes expected on the basis of sea-level fluctuations. However, calculation of diagnosability indices did not support subspecific designations. Sex-specific dominance and dispersal patterns may explain this unusual south-to-north stepped cline, and they also provide a useful format for understanding biogeographical patterns by island. Finally, these morphological data suggest a potentially fruitful area for future genetic studies.
