This is a form of star worship that, in its emphasis on an unrealizable world, ends by preventing audience identification. The spectatorial plea- sures offered by the star system of the early to mid-1960s, Joaquin argues, are not driven by identification but by wonder, idolatry practiced from afar.

Sespeñe†･Marla Maniquiz-Redillas･김이형･추연욱 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Kongju National University Cheonan City, Korea (Received : 22 June 2016, Revised: 02 August 2016, Accepted: 02 August 2016) Abstract The Philippines is a naturally water-rich archipelago capable of sustaining its ecological goods and providing services and needs of its people. Several waterbodies have been declared as natural wetlands in the country supporting the needs of community like water and food. In this study, 65 natural wetlands were considered including six sites that were identified as ‘Wetlands of International Importance’ such as Naujan Lake National Park, Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. There are 22 wetland types presented in this research categorizing the Philippine wetlands. Philippine wetlands are now facing tremendous challenges such as land use conversion, abuse of resources, pollution coming from domestic, industrial and agricultural activities, and climate change. This paper provides an overview of Philippine wetlands in terms of their characteristics and components, impacts in the ecosystem, and the challenges they are dealing with.

Baludo1*, Rey Donne S. Papa3, and Francis S. Magbanua2 1Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology; 2Institute of Biology University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines 3Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science; and Research Center for the Natural and Applied Sciences and the Graduate School University of Santo Tomas, Manila 1015 Philippines Relatively limited information exists on Lake Wood’s limnology and ecology, an ancestral lake of the Subanens. Here, we provide a limnological characterization of the lake – exploring its physical, chemical, and biological features. The data on lake morphometry were gathered using an echosounder; lower depth water samples were collected using a Niskin water sampler for physicochemical analyses while surface water samples were collected at five sampling sites for phosphate (PO4) analysis; and zooplankton samples were collected at several depths through vertical towing in March–April 2019. Lake Wood, located at 320 m above sea level, has an extensive surface area covering 7.38 km2 with a maximum depth of 85 m. Lake water comes from rainfall, small rivers, and groundwater and empties into the Dumanquilas Bay via its only outlet – the Biswangan River. Land use of the lake is predominantly cultivated land. Moreover, based on the trophic state index (TSI), the lake’s current trophic status is eutrophic. During the study periods, thermocline and oxycline formed at 15 m below the surface of the lake.

  • Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.

Villarino1 1Mindanao State University, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines 2Department of Science and Technology VI, Magsaysay Village La Paz, Iloilo City For correspondence; Tel. (033) 320-0908, E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; ABSTRACT: Lake Lanao is one of the ancient lakes in the world and the second largest lake in the Philippines. At present, the lake is considered pristine, however, the biodiversity potential of the lake is now being threatened by various human activities such as the discharge of wastes from municipal sewers. Municipal sewage contains human faeces and water contaminated with these effluents may contain pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms and consequently, may be hazardous to human health if used as drinking-water or in food preparation. Meranao, the local dwellers of the lake depend largely on this body of water as their source of food and drinking water. Hence, the present study evaluates the water quality of Lake Lanao using microbiological analyses specifically along with five municipalities: Tamparan, Taraka, Wato-Balindong, Tugaya, and Bacolod-Kalawi Lanao del Sur. The study was conducted for three months of sampling periods. Findings showed the presence and the estimated number of coliform bacteria that may be associated with the occurrence of waterborne diseases in the surrounding municipalities. Keywords: Microbiological analyses, Water quality, Environmental monitoring, Lake Lanao I. INTRODUCTION gain awareness on the present condition of the lake and Lake Lanao is one of the most important inland body of water consequently, enlighten the local residents as to how human in the Philippines.

    Barbodes manalak (a fish, no common name) Ecological Risk Screening Summary U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, November 2013 Revised, July 2018 Web Version, 8/20/2018 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From Froese and Pauly (2018): “Asia: endemic to Lake Lanao, Mindanao, Philippines.” Status in the United States This species has not been reported as introduced or established in the United States. There is no indication that this species is in trade in the United States. Means of Introductions in the United States This species has not been reported as introduced or established in the United States. 1 Remarks From World Conservation Monitoring Centre (1996): “Harrison and Stiassny (1999) consider this species to be possibly extinct. The matter has been referred to the relevant Specialist Group for a decision.” A previous version of this ERSS was drafted under the name Puntius manalak, which was the previously accepted name of this species. The currently accepted name is Barbodes manalak.
