GULAYAN* Bohol Island State University, Candijay Campus, Bohol, Phillipines Email: [email protected] JESRELLJANE AARON-AMPER Bohol Island State University, Candijay Campus, Bohol, Phillipines EDLIN RENE B. HANDUGAN Bohol Island State University, Candijay Campus, Bohol, Phillipines Received 21 January 2015 Accepted 7 April 2015 (*Corresponding Author) Abstract National government issued an Executive Order 26, series of 2011 – declaring interdepartmental convergence initiative for national greening program. Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources commissioned the Bohol Island State University (BISU) Candijay Campus to facilitate the rehabilitation of degraded mangrove areas in coordination with local government units and in partnership of mangrove planters in Northeastern Bohol. Hence, the main objective of the study was to to document the progress and accomplishment of mangrove rehabilitation project in Northeastern Bohol, Philippines. Survived mangroves were counted manually. Principal branch of mangrove was measured to determine the growth performance in 12 months. Identified the sea shells for baseline information and interviewed the mangrove planters for determining the problems. In this study, a 48.36% survival rate was found out after one year of planting. The average growth (in height) was 6.097 cm per month. The Municipality of Candijay had the highest growth rate. Terebralia sp. (Dao-dao) and Narita sp. (Sihi) are the common sea shells found in the reforested areas. Proper selection of site is important before planting Rhizophora sp. Keywords mangrove, reforestation, survival, sea shell, rehabilitation, propagule INTRODUCTION Mangrove is a type of forest growing along tidal mudflats and along shallow water coastal areas.

  • 1 Kelly, Piers. 2012. Your Word Against Mine: How a Rebel
    Kelly, Piers. 2012. Your word against mine: How a rebel language and script of the Philippines was created, suppressed, recovered and contested. The Australian Journal of Anthropology 23 (3):357-378. Piers Kelly The Australian National University [email protected] ABSTRACT When news of an uncontacted ‘lost tribe’ began emanating from the island of Bohol in the southern Philippines, visitors were fascinated by the group’s unique language and complex writing system, used today by some 500 people in limited domains. Though few have attempted to analyse the language, exotic theories of its origins are widely circulated by outsiders. According to speakers, however, Eskayan was created by the ancestor Pinay who used the human body as inspiration. For Pinay a language and its written mode were inextricable. In the 20th century Pinay’s language was rediscovered by the rebel soldier Mariano Datahan who retransmitted it to his followers. This creation story is consistent with my linguistic analysis which points to a sophisticated encryption of the regional Visayan language. Further, the particulars of how Eskayan was designed shed much light on the sociocultural conditions motivating its (re)creation. Implicit notions of linguistic materiality, boundedness and interchangeability are reflected in the relexification process carried out by Pinay/Datahan. In defiance of all imperial claimants to the island, Pinay and Datahan effectively reified a language community whose territorial rights were corporeally inscribed. This is the Accepted Version of the article. Please feel free to contact the author if you would like a pdf of the final published version or if you have any comments.
