  • Here at Aklan State University Main Campus in Banga This July 4-6, 2019
    1 We encourage you to use the website and mobile app for current information and to navigate the Symposium. Changes to the scientific program will be published on an addendum that will be posted on messages board. 2 In line with this year’s theme, the logo symbolizes the strategic cooperation between the scientific community and the different facets of the local institutions and the government to achieve wholesome and sustainable seas. The lower half signifies the ocean while the upper half shows the diversity of marine life and its interconnectivity with food security and environmental resilience. The halves meet at the center forming a handshake embodying the common understanding of the local communities, government, academe, private sector, NGOs, and especially the Filipino masses on the protection, management, and holistic conservation of the oceans. Lastly, the hues used also represent the colors of the sea at the break of dawn, signifying a new chapter for a more hopeful, science-based, and community- oriented future of the Philippine seas. Best logo design for PAMS15 Mr. John Michael Lastimoso 3 SYMPOSIUM SPONSORS 4 Welcome Message It is with great pleasure and excitement that we, the Philippine Association of Marine Science Officers 2017-2019, welcome you to the 15th National Symposium in Marine Science at the Aklan State University, Banga, Aklan on July 4-6, 2019 with the theme “Fostering synergy of science, community and governance for healthy seas.” As PAMS continues to undertake the task of promoting growth in marine science in the country, the PAMS15 will focus on highlighting the complex people-sea relationship and look more closely on the ways by which we can address the growing issues and risks to food security, biodiversity, and community resilience.

  • Current International Legal Issues: Philippines
    Current International Legal Issues: Philippines Rommel J. Casis and Maria Pia Benosa* 1 Treaties and Other International Agreements Philippine diplomacy is guided by the “Three Pillars of Philippine Foreign Pol- icy” with the President as principal architect. These are the preservation and enhancement of national security, promotion and attainment of economic se- curity, and the protection of the rights and promotion of the welfare of over- seas Filipinos. Pursuant to these overarching goals, the Philippines negotiated and concluded several significant treaties, other international agreements, and arrangements in recent years. The governments of the Philippines and the United States signed an En- hanced Defense Cooperation Agreement,1 following an earlier Status of Visit- ing Forces Agreement with Australia,2 bolstering defense partnership with the two countries. Within the region, negotiations with countries in the Associa- tion of South East Asian Nations (asean) brought forth the asean Charter,3 the legal and institutional framework for the regional organization – which asean leaders signed in 2007. * Prof. Rommel Casis, Director, Institute of International Legal Studies, University of the Phil- ippines (UP) Law Center, and Assistant Professor of Law, UP College of Law, and Prof. Maria Emilynda Jeddahlyn Pia V.

  • PHL Rising to Challenge in Benham Rise by Manuel Cayon Business Mirror, MAY 10, 2017
    PHL rising to challenge in Benham Rise By Manuel Cayon Business Mirror, MAY 10, 2017 In Photo: A Coast Guard boat tugs the buoy to its designated point above the Benham Rise, as the bigger and newly acquired Coast Guard patrol ship from Japan pulls alongside. Three Coast Guard ships provide security escort to the research ship, MV DA-BFAR. BENHAM RISE—The second expedition of the MV DA-BFAR over this controversial extinct volcanic ridge east of Luzon is more than the historic repeat of a scientific expedition three years ago. Crewmen unload the sinker, the cemented drums and the buoy, the orange marker, which consist the payao, or the fish-aggregating device to attract the big fishes, at the Benham Rise. The research ship MV DA-BFAR dropped one payao during its May 5 to 7 expedition, and would drop 14 more at designated points at the Benham Bank to aid fishermen in getting the bigger fishes. The expedition of the research ship has another import to establish. It wants to project Philippine presence and ownership signal to whoever would still venture and covet this part of one of the country’s richest fishing grounds. This was expressed in bold strokes by Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol. Piñol mounted the expedition and announced he received the imprimatur from President Duterte to evaluate all options to take to protect Benham Rise from further incursions. The Benham Rise has been regularly poached by Taiwanese fishermen who periodically figured in violent fishing maneuvers with Filipino fishermen over much of the region.
