It has been reported primarily from only four main islands of the Philippine archipelago. We have studied it extensively for the past three decades. Using data from 1991 to 1998 as best representing the current status of the species on the island of Mindanao, we estimated the mean nearest-neighbour distances between breeding pairs, with remarkably little variation, to be 12.74 km (n = 13 nests plus six pairs without located nests, se = ±0.86 km, range = 8.3–17.5 km). Forest cover within circular plots based on nearest-neighbour pairs, in conjunction with estimates of remaining suitable forest habitat (approximately 14 000 km2), yield estimates of the maximum number of breeding pairs on Mindanao ranging from 82 to 233, depending on how the forest cover is factored into the estimates. The Philippine Eagle Pithecophaga jefferyi is a large insufficient or unreliable data, and inadequately forest raptor considered to be one of the three reported methods.

  • AIR FORCE REVIEW Vol 1, No 1 TAKING OFF
    AIR FORCE REVIEW Vol 1, No 1 TAKING OFF Lt Col Jose Tony E Villarete PAF Director, Office of Special Studies In line with the vision of the Commanding General Philippine Air Force, LTGEN BENJAMIN P DEFENSOR JR AFP, of a faster, stronger and better Philippine Air Force, the Office of Special Studies (OSS) has come up with this new version of PAF doctrine and strategy publication. The Air Force Review, successor of the OSS Digest is published quarterly, aims to increase the AFP personnel’s awareness of the existing doctrines of the PAF and activities related to doctrines development and to stimulate discussions about air power, strategic development and matters affecting national security. In an effort to keep pace with the CG’s vision, this maiden issue is an attempt to produce a responsibly faster publication through the dedication and devotion of the reinvigorated editorial staff. Contributions from the major units and the different functional staffs, as well as from the visiting fellows sent to RAAF Aerospace Center, were solicited. Likewise, variety of topics were covered from a wider sources, ensuring a stronger base of ideas for the publication. We continuously strive to come up with articles that would contribute towards better doctrines and strategy, which, separately or collectively, add value to the service the Philippine Air Force provides to the country and people. For this year, the OSS intends to focus on air power awareness through multi- media methodology, doctrine formulation and revision, initiating the review and revisions of the PAF Basic Doctrine, developing a relevant air strategy, and conducting “conceptual” activities such as the CG’s PAF Annual Air Power Symposium, regular publication of the Air Force Review and holding of the Doctrine Family Conference.

  • Comparative Connections a Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
    Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations US-Southeast Asia Relations: Philippines – An Exemplar of the US Rebalance Sheldon Simon Arizona State University The Philippines under President Benigno Aquino III has linked its military modernization and overall external defense to the US rebalance. Washington has raised its annual military assistance by two-thirds to $50 million and is providing surplus military equipment. To further cement the relationship, Philippine and US defense officials announced that the two countries would negotiate a new “framework agreement” under the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty providing for greater access by US forces to Philippine bases and the positioning of equipment at these facilities. Washington is also stepping up participation in ASEAN-based security organizations, sending forces in June to an 18-nation ASEAN Defense Ministers Plus exercise covering military medicine and humanitarian assistance in Brunei. A July visit to Washington by Vietnam’s President Truong Tan Sang resulted in a US-Vietnam Comprehensive Partnership, actually seen as a step below the Strategic Partnerships Hanoi has negotiated with several other countries. Myanmar’s president came to Washington in May, the first visit by the country’s head of state since 1966. An economic agreement was the chief deliverable. While President Obama praised Myanmar’s democratic progress, he also expressed concern about increased sectarian violence that the government seems unable (or unwilling) to bring under control. The rebalance and the Philippines While the Obama administration’s foreign and defense policies’ rebalance to Asia is portrayed as a “whole of government” endeavor, involving civilian as well as security agencies, its military components have received the most attention, especially in Southeast Asia.

  • Operation Damayan
    The Air Force sprang into action to support the storm-ravaged Philippines after the devastating Typhoon Haiyan. Operation Damayan By Carlo Muñoz ir Force units based in the Asia-Pa- cifi c region played an integral but overlooked role spearheading ini- tial rescue and relief missions into the Philippines, mere days Aafter the worst typhoon in the country’s history crashed onto its shores. Less than 24 hours after Typhoon Haiyan ravaged large swaths of Visayas province in the central Philippines last November, washing away entire coastal villages and cities, aircraft and command and control units from USAF’s Pacifi c Air Forces were in the skies and on the ground in the hardest hit areas. While airmen assessed which airfi elds and landing zones would be best suited to handle the infl ux of C-17 Globemas- ter III and C-130 Hercules transports heading into the disaster zone, long- range, remotely piloted aircraft based at Andersen Air Force Base on Guam fl ew reconnaissance missions over Tacloban City, Leyte island, Roxas City, and other locales, surveying the damage and search- ing for survivors. Once the joint disaster relief mission, dubbed Operation Damayan, reached full swing, USAF cargo aircraft were among the fi rst US air assets to get wheels down in Manila and elsewhere in the Philippines, to begin ferrying tons of food, water, and supplies into the vast areas devastated by the typhoon. While the humanitarian mission exem- plifi ed the rapid response capabilities of the Air Force and US military, Operation Damayan also stoked debate in Wash- ington, D.C., and Manila on whether American air assets should return to the Philippines on a permanent basis.

  • Clandestine US Operations: Indonesia 1958, Operation "Haik"
    Clandestine US Operations: Indonesia 1958, Operation "Haik" (Feb 10, 2008 at 07:06 PM) - Contributed by Tom Cooper (introduction) & Marc Koelich (chronology & notes) - Last Updated () Short overview of air combats caused by the US clandestine operations against Indonesia, in late 1950s. Basically, there were three kinds of US clandestine and covert operations: - CIA operations, which were essentially para-military in nature, and usually used some kind of a front (about which usually not really much is known until today); - covert USAF operations, flown by aircraft with or without US- markings (meanwhile most of such operations were well covered in different publications) - private enterprises, most of which worked on a smuggling for profit efforts (the history of most such operations remains to be published). Their relatively small volume characterized usual para-military operations organized by the CIA, with a small number of aircraft involved (except in SEA), and by their air-to-ground tasks. Types used foremost during the 1950s and 1960s were Douglas B-26 Invader and North American P-51 Mustang, which were available in abundance after the end of the WWII, and large number of which were now in storage, from where they could be removed without much attention from the public. If any kind of aerial opposition was expected, everything possible - sometimes short of engaging official US military forces - was tried in order to neutralize it early during the operation by a concentrated counter-air operation. Despite this, several times US aircraft involved in clandestine operations were engaged in air-to-air combats by local air forces, and here are the backgrounds behind such cases.
