The Haribon Foundation for the Conservation of Natural Resources, Inc. implemented the European Union-funded project known as the Governance and Local Development of Endangered Forests (GOLDEN Forests) which aimed to protect the remaining forests of key biodiversity areas such as Mts. Irid-Angelo. By the end of the project, two people’s organizations were formed and formally registered and biodiversity-friendly livelihood opportunities were opened The majestic Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) in the Sierra Madre. to support income generation and food security.

Forest Governance Project: Philippine forests are home to some of the world’s unique and threatened species. It also provides indispensable ecological services for millions of Filipinos. As forests continue to disappear, the Strengthening Non-State Actor Involvement in Forest Governance in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea or Forest Governance Project (FoGoP) aims to increase participation of non-state actors in various forest governance processes. Effective forest conservation is possible with strengthened governance mechanisms. Local communities must also be empowered with technical knowledge, platforms, and skills to establish forest monitoring programs to effectively contribute to forest management and land use planning processes. Through the establishment and strengthening of community networks and between cross-national networks, the Forest Governance Project or FoGoP aims to enhance information sharing and empower non-state actors in advocacies concerning forest conservation. The project is being implemented over a 5-year period (2017-2021), with focus on capacity building for effective engagement in forest management and policy processes. It will also complement existing forest conservation initiatives. Haribon Foundation for the Conservation of Natural Resources, Inc. is currently implementing this project in three sites in the Philippines. Mt. Hilong-Hilong is one of the sites.

Report No. 3 – Population, Land Area, and Population Density is among the series of publications that present the results of the POPCEN 2015. This publication provides information on the population size, land area, and population density by region, province, highly urbanized city, and city/municipality based on the data from population census conducted by the PSA in the years 2000, 2010, and 2015; and data on land area by city/municipality as of December 2013 that was provided by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Also presented in this report is the percent change in the population density over the three census years. The population density shows the relationship of the population to the size of land where the population resides.

Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

It divides into small branches that empty to several fishponds especially in the town of Candaba. This study aimed to initially identify the physico- chemical characteristics of the river using some parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates. Dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature were measured using DO meter, pH meter, and thermometer. Chemical tests were done on site using test kits from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (API). It was found that ammonia and phosphate concentrations exceeded the maximum value required by the DAO 34 -Water Quality Standard for Class C Water. The DO concentration was below the minimum requirements for river water. Key Words: Candaba; Pampanga; River Water; Community 1. INTRODUCTION the barangay is directly connected to one side of the river and houses are built along the river bank. The Pampanga River with a total length of 260 town is more of a residential area with big factories kilometers, is the second largest river in the whole of not yet locally taking advantage of the river.

Accepted 26 October, 2018 ABSTRACT The 1987 Philippine Constitution corroborated with the Magna Carta for Disabled is giving full support to the improvement of the total well-being of children with special needs (CSN). This is a proof that the government takes appropriate steps to make education accessible to all disabled persons. This study aimed to determine the extent of support the government is giving to students with special needs; in terms of admission, curriculum, teaching strategies, teacher’s training, special equipment and instructional materials, pupils development activities, funding and early interventions. SWOT analysis was used to capture the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in implementation of the Special Education (SPED) Program in twelve SPED centers in Bulacan. The result of the study will provide perspective if mandates are being followed by the authority involved in the program. Thirty five SPED teachers teaching in self-contained classes in the twelve SPED centers in Bulacan were respondents of this study. Sequential explanatory design was used. This is a two phase design where the quantitative data is collected first such as the respondents’ profile and their evaluation to the program; followed by qualitative data collection in SWOT format. The purpose of qualitative results is to further explain and interpret the findings from the quantitative phase. The profile of respondents was treated using frequency counts and percentage while the evaluation on the management of SPED program was analyzed using mean, standard deviation and SWOT analysis.

    Flood Risk Assessment Under the Climate Change in the Case of Pampanga River Basin, Philippines

    FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT UNDER THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE CASE OF PAMPANGA RIVER BASIN, PHILIPPINES Santy B. Ferrer* Supervisor: Mamoru M. Miyamoto** MEE133631 Advisors: Maksym Gusyev*** Miho Ohara**** ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to assess the flood risk in the Pampanga river basin that consists of the flood hazard, exposure, and risk in terms of potential flood fatalities and economic losses under the climate change. The Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model was calibrated using 2011 flood and validated with the 2009, 2012 and 2013 floods. The calibrated RRI model was applied to produce flood inundation maps based on 10-, 25, 50-, and 100-year return period of 24-hr rainfall. The rainfall data is the output of the downscaled and bias corrected MRI -AGCM3.2s for the current climate conditions (CCC) and two cases of future climate conditions with an outlier in the dataset (FCC-case1) and without an outlier (FCC-case2). For this study, the exposure assessment focuses on the affected population and the irrigated area. Based on the results, there is an increasing trend of flood hazard in the future climate conditions, therefore, the greater exposure of the people and the irrigated area keeping the population and irrigated area constant. The results of this study may be used as a basis for the climate change studies and an implementation of the flood risk management in the basin.
