  • Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems for Food Security in a Changing Climate in Batanes, Philippines

The sectors mostly affected by climate change are agriculture and food security because of the risk of low productivity due to increasing temperature, drought, and increasing frequency and intensity of rainfall that brings about floods and land- slides. Located in the northernmost tip of the country, the Batanes group of islands lies on the country’s typhoon belt. Because of vulnerability and isolation from the rest of the archipelago, the Ivatans have developed self-sufficient, organic and climate-resilient crop production systems. This paper presents the indigenous crop production systems that have made the Ivatans food self-sufficient despite vulnerability of their agroecosystem. A typical Ivatan farmer owns 3-7 parcels of land. Each parcel has an average size of 300-500 m2.Farmers practice a rootcrop-based multiple cropping system with specific spatial arrangements of corn (Zea mays), gabi (Colocasia esculenta), yam (Dioscorea alata) and tugui (Dioscorea esculenta), using corn stover, hardwood trees or a local reed called viyawu (Miscanthus sp.) as trellis.

  • HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE of BATANES ISLANDS in the PHILIPPINES: a SURVEY of DIFFERENT HOUSE TYPES and THEIR EVOLUTION By: Archt
    HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE OF BATANES ISLANDS IN THE PHILIPPINES: A SURVEY OF DIFFERENT HOUSE TYPES AND THEIR EVOLUTION By: Archt. Jose F. Ignacio, UAP College of Architecture University of the Philippines Fig. 1 Vintage Photo of a Batanes Heritage Houses INTRODUCTION The Historic Houses of Batanes is vernacular architecture of lime, stone, wood and thatch and constructed to withstand the harsh and unpredictable climate of the northern islands of the Philippines. They denote adaptation to severe climatic conditions and the rich cultural diversity of the province of Batanes. The islands are inhabited by indigenous people called Ivatans who recognize that their unique traditions provide the special quality that ensures perpetuation of the province as a living cultural community. Filipino writer Jude Defensor aptly describes the place as such: “The way most visitors to Batanes describe it, these far-flung islands seem to be a place that isn’t quite real. It has gained a reputation as a land seemingly not of this earth, part of some mythical realm, a peaceful pastoral haven. If this were Middle Earth, in consideration of its peaceable folk and quaint, rounded, partially submerged architecture, Batanes would probably be the Shire. The province, the smallest in the entire country in terms of both population and land area, is also known as the ‘Home Of The Winds’ due to its legendarily stormy weather.”1 The low houses of Batanes, with their heavy stone walls covered with thick thatched roofs are not found anywhere else in the Philippines. They have been shaped in response to extreme conditions of a region dominated by earthquakes, hot-humid summer months, monsoon rains, and severe typhoons.
