  • Managing the Mountain and the Monkeys: Philippine Millenarian Movement and the Local Dynamics of Community-Based Wildlife Management in Mt
    Draft. Please inform the author when citing parts of the paper. Managing the mountain and the monkeys: Philippine millenarian movement and the local dynamics of community-based wildlife management in Mt. Apo Natural Park (Mindanao, Philippines)α Myfel Joseph D. Paluga Department of Social Sciences, CHSS University of the Philippines in Mindanao [email protected] Abstract The paper presents a case study of the role of mountain-dwelling millenarian settlers (Moncadistas) of Mt. Apo Natural Park [MANP] (Mindanao, Philippines) in wildlife conservation—especially the Philippine macaques (Macaca fascicularis philippinensis)—and in the management of the area of the natural park in general. The present village of New Israel (Makilala, North Cotabato: western region of the MANP) is a Moncadista community that has developed unique responses and adaptations to the socio-ecological context of Mt. Apo. As an iconic example, since the middle of the last century (1950s), the village has evolved a case of human-macaque co- dwelling where wild/tamed troops of monkeys are actively taken-cared of, provisioned and given a wider degree of tolerance in roaming the village spaces. Internal and external challenges both constrain and sustain such practices and invite comparison and contrast with the practices of other mountain-dwelling groups and indigenous peoples vis-à-vis the wildlife of their area. Foremost of such challenge is the tension between maintaining their religious and culturally-based conservationist visions for the place (like provisioning the monkeys) and the possibility of breeding monkeys as agricultural pests for contiguous areas of the protected area. The paper focuses on three important dimensions in the emergence and dynamics of their local resources management: the conservationist by-products of their millenarian religious visions, their inter-ethnic relations with the indigenous groups of the place (Tagabawa Bagobo), and the ecological context offered by the natural-cultural settings of Mt.

  • Summary Recommendations Public Engagements Intensity Assessment Series of Earthquakes Impacts
    The October 2019 Series of Earthquakes in Cotabato and Vicinity Summary In October 2019, a series of strong shallow earthquakes struck the province of Cotabato and vicinity. These earthquakes occurred on October 16, 7:37 PM Philippine Standard Time (PST) at magnitude 6.3, on October 29, 9:04 AM and 10:42 AM at magnitudes 6.6 and 6.1, respectively, and on October 31, 9:11 AM at magnitude 6.5. The depths of these earthquakes range from 7 to 9 km. Initial information on the hypocenters of the earthquakes and their focal mechanism solutions suggest that they are generated by the Cotabato Fault System, a system of strike-slip faults transecting the provinces of Cotabato, Davao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sarangani, South Cotabato, and Sultan Kudarat. Due to the quick succession of these events, damages to structures were severe and widespread. Geologic impacts, especially landslides, were also numerous. The DOST-PHIVOLCS Quick Response Team (QRT) was immediately deployed on 18 October 2019 and 30 October 2019 to: 1) conduct earthquake information dissemination and education for local government units (LGUs) and locals in the affected areas; 2) conduct field surveys to determine the earthquakes’ geologic impacts and effects to structures; 3) deploy temporary seismic stations for continuous aftershocks monitoring; and 4) assist the LGUs, together with the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, in assessing selected evacuation/relocation sites in terms of earthquake hazards. Based on field investigations, the geologic impacts included numerous tension cracks and earthquake-induced landslides, especially near the epicentral region in Makilala, Kidapawan City, and Tulunan in Cotabato; and in Magsaysay and Bansalan in Davao del Sur.

  • A Case Study of Physics Teaching Practices of the Obo Monuvu Tribe
    Science Education International 31(2), 185-194 https://doi.org/10.33828/sei.v31.i2.8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Culturally Relevant Science Teaching: A Case Study of Physics Teaching Practices of the Obo Monuvu Tribe Karizza Jane B. Pejaner1*,Voltaire M. Mistades2 1Department of Agriculture, Makilala Institute of Science and Technology, Makilala, Cotabato, Philippines, 2Department of Science Education, De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The knowledge and practice of science are rooted in culture. One specific theory that reflects this idea is that of culturally relevant science teaching. The challenge in the Philippines, being a multicultural nation, is that each indigenous community would have its own set of culture and beliefs. Indigenous peoples suffer from the failure of the mainstream education system to address the context of the indigenous community (ECIP, 2007). With the end in mind of documenting culturally relevant science teaching (CRST), this study was conducted among the Grade 8 physics teachers of the Obo Monuvu tribe of Cotabato. The research employed qualitative case study as its research design using observation, interview, focus group discussion, and archiving as its data gathering procedure. The results showed 12 commonly used teaching practices. These teaching practices, according to the teachers, were developed as a result of the following factors: (a) Teacher’s adjustments, (b) students’ view education, and (c) problems that teachers encounter in teaching physics. Among the teaching practices, ten practices reflect academic success, three practices reflect cultural competence, and none for sociopolitical consciousness. The study suggests reviewing the science curriculum and instruction such that it becomes relevant to the Obo Monuvu tribe.

  • Philippine Rubber Industry Roadmap 2017-2022
    PHILIPPINE RUBBER INDUSTRY ROADMAP 2017-2022 i FOREWORD he Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Agriculture have been since 2012 spearheading the formulation of Philippine Rubber Industry Roadmap. In 2012, both agencies did parallel initiatives by outsourcing the T preparation of the rubber industry development plans to the University of the Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) for the upstream sector and the University of the Philippines – Institute for Small Scale Industries (UP-ISSI) for the downstream sector. In the same year, the Department of Science and Technology came out with its Rubber Research and Development Agenda manifesting the agency’s strong support in the development of the rubber industry. The DOST’s Rubber R&D Agenda was integrated in the annual Rubber Industry Cluster Action Plan since 2012. The two (2) development plans were used by the Philippine Rubber Technical Working Group (PHLRUBBER TWG) as basis in the preparation and implementation of an annual Rubber Industry Cluster Action Plan (Rubber InCup) starting 2013 until 2015. It was in 2013 that the PHLRUBBER decided to integrate the two (2) industry development plans. After series of consultations and workshops, the integration was finalized in 2015 resulting to the crafting of the Philippine Rubber Industry Roadmap 2016-2022. By consolidating the roadmaps, all agencies allied to the development of the rubber industry are expected to work on the same vision, goals and objectives and harmonize all programs and projects designed to improve the growth of the industry as well as its contribution in poverty reduction most particularly among smallholders.
