Limpin, MD, Executive Director Action On Smoking And Health Philippines, Inc SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES a. To describe the socio-demographic profile of tobacco farmers b. To describe their farming practices and characterize the environmental exposure of tobacco farmers c. To determine the common occupational health problems afflicting tobacco farmers, including possible green tobacco sickness d. To determine if an association exists between their tobacco farming practices and current occupational health problems in the area e. Recommend action areas to minimize significant adverse impacts on health and environment PROJECT AMOUNT USD 10,000-WHO Funding with Counterpart from DOH R1 LOCATION Region 1, Philippines DURATION OF PROJECT 2 Years (December 2017 to November 2019) Summary: After a series of meetings with our government partners (Department of Health, DOH and Department of Agriculture, DA) in Region 1, we were able to gather the following informations: From the Department of Agriculture (DA): • October marks the beginning of the region’s dry season: A perfect weather to start seedling followed by planting of tobacco on the following month; • Tobacco is considered one of the major cash crops being planted in the region, which is widely grown after rice or corn; • Ilocos region (Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, and La Union) is the top tobacco producing region in the country • Ilocos Sur is considered the tobacco capital of the country accounting for 75% share of the national production output • Tobacco farming employs an estimated 840,415 males (Region 1 and 2) • Given that more farmers are shifting to non-tobacco crops, and the reality that tobacco industry production is declining and that it is labor intensive and less profitable, still more farmers continue to cultivate tobacco due to: - Ready market - Technical assistance from NTA and PMFTC - Availability of financial assistance in the form of a loan - Climate suitability of the crop - Belief that it is the only profitable crop - Availability of farm inputs - Neighbors also cultivate tobacco - And the aggressive encouragement by government officials to farmers who are already growing other crops to go back to tobacco. • There are existing SEC registered farmers organizations in the region. Most are tobacco farmers who operate under the supervision of the Regional Agriculture and Fishery Council (RAFC). The RAFC is under the DAs Executive Office. From the initial activities to lay the foundation for the work on assessing the health effects of tobacco farming, it was learned that the Department of Health and the Department of Agriculture had several consultations with the tobacco farmers. The consultations were focused primarily on Art. 17 (Provision of support for economically viable alternative activities) and 18 (Protection of the environment and the health of persons) of the World Health Organization - Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC). As a result, a resolution on the project for tobacco farmers was drafted by the DOH and the DA for the Local Chief Executives’ (LCEs) approval. The following informations were gathered: • The DOH and DA started courtesy calls with the identified LCEs in the targeted local government units (LGUs). Unfortunately, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), a member of the project team, was not around during the initial meetings. • With the 4 identified large tobacco producing LGUs (Sinait, Cabugao, San Juan and Candon), only Sinait LCE agreed to the idea of “crop diversification.” Alternative livelihood as a term, though used in RA 7171, is apparently unacceptable to some LCEs primarily because it gives the impression that they will have to discourage tobacco farmers to grow tobacco. • With reservation, however, the Mayor of Candon still provided the team with a relatively small barangay as pilot testing. • The concerns of most of the local officials about the project for tobacco farmers is that it may result to a lower share of funds from RA 7171 in the coming years. The argument of the local leaders is “No one can provide what 7171 provides the province, cities, municipalities and the congressional districts of the Ilocos region”. It is very clear that Tobacco farming in the Philippines, specifically in Region 1, is considered a political crop and is thus a sensitive issue for the local officials. With the promise of RA 7171, it is very difficult to convince local chief executives (LCEs) on the idea of FCTC Art. 17 and 18….. unless the resolved comes from the tobacco farmers. Progress against Workplan Objective 1: To determine the baseline health profile of the tobacco farmers in selected municipalities in Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte province with regards to environmental exposures and health outcomes. Output 1: Formulation of public health monitoring framework among tobacco farmers and implementation of the baseline health profiling study.

  • Indications of Recruitment Enhancement in the Sea Urchin Tripneustes Gratilla Due to Stock Restoration Efforts
    Proceedings of the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 7-11 July 2008 Session number 22 Indications of Recruitment Enhancement in the Sea Urchin Tripneustes gratilla Due to Stock Restoration Efforts M. A. Juinio-Meñez1 , D. Pastor1 and H. G. Bangi2 1Marine Science Institute, College of Science, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City 110 2College of Aquatic Sciences and Applied Technology, Mariano Marcos State University, Currimao 2903, Ilocos Norte, Philippines Abstract Field monitoring activities were conducted in various sites in five provinces in northwestern Philippines in 2004-2007 to assess the impacts of restocking and grow-out culture of hatchery-reared Tripneustes gratilla juveniles. High incidences of recruits (<4.0 cm test diameter) were noted during the last quarter of 2005 through the first quarter of 2006. Very high densities (up to 460 individuals 100 m-2) were recorded in Lucero, Bolinao, Pangasinan, which is the site for sea urchin broodstock and grow-out cages. Eighty percent of the total density was comprised of recruits of the year. In Sinait, Ilocos Sur, total density and incidence of recruits were significantly higher (up to 67 individuals 100 m-2) than two sites in Ilocos Norte where there was no grow-out culture of sea urchins. In Poro Pt., La Union sea urchins increased after the initiation of grow-out culture activities in 2005 and peaked at 14 individuals 100 m-2 in 2007. The positive correlation in the density of recruits and adults in four sites in Bolinao together with the higher densities and incidence of recruits in different grow-out areas concur with the hypothesis that the aggregation of adults in grow-out culture areas enhanced benthic recruitment.

  • APPRECIATING the SAKADA CONNECTION in HAWAII By
    APPRECIATING THE SAKADA CONNECTION IN HAWAII By: Romel Dela Cruz Big Island, Hawaii From 1906 to 1946 approximately 125,00 Filipinos were recruited by the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association (HSPA) to work in the sugar cane and pineapple fields of the Ha- waiian Islands. They were the first Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and called Sakadas meaning lower paid worker recruits from out of the area in both Tagalog and Ilocano languages. In Hawaii the word has become synonymous with these pioneers who came to Hawaii for adventure but primarily to seek their fate or “gasat” in Ilocano and a better life for them- selves and their families. Roughly half of the Sakadas who came to Hawaii returned home to the Philippines or moved to the US mainland after the termination of their three year contracts. The other half remained in Hawaii and are the original roots of the Filipino community today which is now the second largest ethnic group in the State. In the last 100 years of sugar growing in the islands until the very end of the industry this past December 2016, the Sakadas provided the majority of laborers that nurtured and elevated sugar and pineapple production in Hawaii to its greatest heights and profitability and laid the foundation for the economic growth and stability in Hawaii that has continued to this day. These pioneers were also in the forefront of labor activism in cooperation with other ethnic groups but sometimes acting alone at great risk (labor leader Pablo Manlapit was jailed in 1924 and deported to California and finally to the Philippines in 1932) and sac- rifices (16 Filipinos were killed in a labor related confrontation in 1924 known as the Hanapepe Massacre in Kauai), before, finally gaining recognition and success under the leadership of the International Longshoremen & Warehouse Union (ILWU) in 1946.
