DOST started as the National Science Development Board (NSDB) on 13 June 1958 thru RA 2067. It was reorganized as the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) on 17 March 1982, and vested with broader policy-making a n d p r o g r a m i m p l e m e n t i n g functions. On 30 January 1987, NSTA was elevated to become the Department of Science and Technol- ogy (DOST) under Executive Order (EO) No. 128. DOST’s functions and responsibilities were further expanded to enable it to pursue the declared state policy to support local scientific and technological efforts, develop local capability to achieve technological self-reliance, promote public and private sector partnership in S&T activities, and encourage the private sector to take a greater role in R&D activities. DOST exercises supervision over twenty-one (21) organic and attached agencies consisting of collegial and advisory bodies, sectoral R&D planning councils, R&D institutes and service agencies. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 31 of EO 128, the DOST is also authorized to establish regional or field extension offices as may be necessary. Three years later, the Provincial S&T Centers (PSTCs) were created through Republic Act 6959 on 31 July 1990, which led to the establishment of PSTCs in every province of the country under the Regional offices. DOST V extends its services to the six (6) provinces through the Provincial Science and Technology Offices (PSTOs) located in key areas of the provinces of the region. Vision DOST sees a region where knowledge, creativity and innovation contribute to economic growth to alleviate poverty and improve the quality of life of Bicolanos. Mission Judiciously harness and maximize the potential of S&T in the economic development of the region on a sustainable basis through strategic partnership with MSMEs, LGUs, NGOs/POs, the academe and other government agencies. DOST V Annual Report (2010) 1 Message from DOST Secretary The Department of Science and Technology has implemented development programs and projects to help improve the lives of Bicolanos in the preceding year. We believe that our strong partnership with the academe, other government agencies, LGUs, NGOs, industries, and other public and private sector organiza- tions contributed to the effective delivery of S&T services in the region. Through DOST’s Small Enterprise technology Upgrading Program (SET-UP), we optimized our modest resources to create value and opportunities through technology intervention resulting to better products, processes, and systems. Moreover, joint undertakings with S&T networks and consortia strengthened R&D management and policy advocacy. Researches in the agricultural sector encouraged enterprise development, and capacity improvement of local firms and other sectors. S&T support services such as scholarships, promotion, institutional linkages, the Regional standards and Testing Laboratory (RSTL)/Regional Metrology Laboratory (RML) consultancy and related assistance raised awareness and appreciation on what S&T can do for the people in the region. Bicolanos can look forward to another year of committed and innovation-driven services from the DOST V management and staff. Mabuhay! DOST V Annual Report (2010) 2 Message from DOST Undersecretary for Regional Operations My warmest greetings and congratulations to DOST V for your worthwhile contributions in making S &T as a primary engine of economic growth in the region. Our valued clients and stakeholders have showed relentless support and commitment in promoting S&T programs and services. The leadership of Hon. Mario G. Montejo introduced/resulted to new directions, priority thrust and innovations for the department. Intensive and aggressive application and adoption of local technologies are on the forefront of the new administration. We salute the MSMEs, comprising majority of our clients in the implementation of SETUP. DOST has successfully implemented relevant and meaningful SETUP programs and projects throughout the country. We also commend the strong partnership and collaboration with the academe, allied government agencies, industries, LGUs, and NGOs/private sector. Through them, we have wider information dissemination and intensified advocacy campaigns. For 2010, DOST V earned the distinction if not the first, as one of the few government agencies in the Bicol Region that achieved an ISO 9001:2008 and IEC 17025 Certifications. These initiatives continually pose challenges and greater opportunities for more innovative programs responsive to immediate and long-term S&T needs of Bicolanos. Again, I laud DOST V officials and staff for the productive year. May the vigor and dynamism be sustained in the coming years. Dios Mabalos. DOST V Annual Report (2010) 3 Message from DOST V Regional Director The year 2010 marks a transition for the Philippines as Pres. Noynoy Aquino took over the reins of the government and endeavored to work on reforms and good governance. Consistent with government’s priorities, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) under the leadership of Sec. Mario G. Montejo has started reaping positive results as it traverses the road to become the leader in promoting S&T innovations and technological solutions. As the regional arm of DOST Central Office in Bicol Region, the regional office has demonstrated to be a mover of science and technology (S&T). DOST V took the lead in effectively bringing technology and its productive gains closer to the people. It has con- tinuously initiated strategies and mechanisms toward delivering quality S&T programs and services in the region. In 2010, we revitalized our support to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through the seventeen (17) SETUP projects covering the identified priority areas. Despite the small industry-base in the region, DOST V has aggressively promoted the adoption of new technologies, efficient production processes and innovations integral in keeping firm’s competitive advantage and optimizing available resources. The Regional Standards and Testing Laboratories (RSTL) provided microbiological and chemical analyses; and volumetric and mass calibration tests to our various clients in the region. Cognizant of the need to provide more relevant services, DOST is currently upgrading its laboratories, now ISO 17025 accredited with the acquisition of additional equipment. DOST recognizes the need to fully tap and develop S&T capabilities through the creation of quality human resources by way of its various scholarship programs. The DOST-SEI has seventy-four (74) on-going scholars who could serve as future brainpower of the region and the country, as well. In the early part of the year, DOST V obtained ISO 9001: 2008 Certification by the Certification International Philippines. Inc. (CIPI) with the following scope: “Provisions of scientific and technology transfer services, S&T promotion, information dissemination, and scholarships”. It reaffirms the unwavering

Soliman1*, Antonino B. Mendoza, Jr.1 and Kosaku Yamaoka2 1 Coastal Resouces management Unit, Bicol University Tabaco Campus, (Tabaco, Albay 4511, Philippines) 2 Graduate School of Kuroshio Science, Kochi University (Monobe, Nankoku, Kochi 783-8502, Japan) Abstract Lagonoy Gulf is a major fishing ground in the Philippines. It is large (3071 km2) and deep (80% of its area is 800-1200 m) where channels opening to the Pacific Ocean are entrenched. Its annual fishery production of 26,000 MT in 1994 slightly decreased to 20,000 MT in 2004. During the same 10-year period, catches of higher order, predatory fishes decreased and were replaced by herbivores and planktivores. Scombrids such as tunas and mackerels composed 51-54% of total harvest. Of the 480 fish species identified in the gulf, 131 or 27% are seaweed-associated or these fishes have utilized the seaweed habitat for juvenile settlement, refuge, breeding and feeding sites. The seaweeds occupy solely distinct beds (e.g., Sargassum) or overlap with seagrass and coral reef areas. About half of all fishes (49.6% or 238 species) are coral reef fishes. The most speciose fish genera are Chaetodon (19 spp.), Lutjanus (18 spp.), Pomacentrus (17 spp.) and Siganus (14 spp.). Among them, Siganus (Siganids or rabbitfishes) is the most speciose, commercially-important genus contributing 560 mt-yr-1 to the total fishery production, including about 60 mt siganid juvenile catch.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • Marine Park with Whale Shark and Adjacent to Sardine Fishery
    Proceedings of the 12 th International Coral Reef Symposium, Cairns, Australia, 9-13 July 2012 17B Marine protected areas and networks in the coral triangle Marine park with whale shark and adjacent to sardine fishery Victor S. Soliman 1, Raul B. Burce 2 1CRM Unit, Bicol University Tabaco Campus, Tabaco City, Philippines 2World Wildlife Fund – KKP, Quezon City, Philippines Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract . The aim of balance between conservation and capture fishery is understood yet elusive. In a coastal town in the Philippines, Donsol, considered the "whale shark capital of the world", its coast also supports a commercial sardine fishery. A portion of its coastal waters has been declared a marine conservation park while most of it is still open to fishing. An assessment of the sardine fishery showed high exploitation rate. Bottom-set and drift gillnets are the major sustenance fishing gears. Commercial fishing vessels operating purse seine were also reported in the area. Regarding the whale shark or Butanding ecotourism, tourism officers perceived warming of coastal waters which they observed to have affected whale shark occurrence. Whale shark and sardines appeared swimming along the same path in coastal waters because they both feed on zoopankton. Small-scale fishers revealed that they intentionally avoid whale sharks while fishing because their nets and boats can be destroyed when the large fish swim at them. They contend it is the large fishing vessels that can potentially hurt whale shark when hit by their boats. The local government assisted by an international NGO has been pursuing measures to protect the largest fish and the fishers through an integrated marine resource management program.
