Fisheries Annex Protected Area Management Plan for the Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape, Region 12, Philippines (2016 – 2021) Fisheries Annex Protected Area Management Plan for the Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape, Region 12, Philippines (2016 – 2021) Final Draft – February 2019 I Submission Date: June 20, 2019 Submitted by: The USAID Oceans and Fisheries Partnerhip (USAID Oceans), in partnership with the Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape Protected Area Management Board and the Philippines’ Ecosystem Approach for Fisheries Management Technical Working Group Contract Number: AID-486-C-15-00001 Contract Period: May 14, 2015 to May 13, 2020 COR Name: Cristina Vélez-Srinivasan About USAID Oceans The United States Agency for International Development Oceans and Fisheries Partnership (USAID Oceans) works to both strengthen regional cooperation to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and promote sustainable fisheries to conserve marine biodiversity in the Asia-Pacific region. USAID Oceans is implemented through a partnership between USAID’s Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA) and the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) and works in collaboration with regional and U.S. government agencies, including the Coral Triangle Initiative for Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI- CFF) and the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

About this Document This ‘Fisheries Annex,’ is a planning document that forms part of the Protected Area Management Plan (PAMP) (2016-2021) for Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape (SBPS) in Region 12, Philippines. It is a proposed framework adopting an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) with focus on the municipal fisheries of Sarangani Bay’s seven surrounding coastal city/municipalities: (1) Maitum, (2) Kiamba, (3) Maasim, (4) Alabel, (5) Malapatan, (6) Glan and (7) General Santos City. The crafting of this document was facilitated through a technical assistance request of the SBPS’ Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Region 12 (DENR 12) to USAID Oceans. This document is a collaborative effort among the SBPS-PAMB, DENR 12, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)-Regional Office 12’s Technical Working Group for Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (BFAR-EAFM TWG), the technical staff of local government units (LGUs) within the Sarangani Bay, and other participants of the series of workshops that crafted and refined the plan into its current form through the generous support and technical assistance from the USAID Oceans project. This document is intended to provide a framework for fisheries management within the SBPS to support the implementation of its PAMP (2016-2021) by relevant governmental agencies, LGUs, non- governmental partners, academic and research institutions, and the fishing industry sector that altogether will benefit from an effective fisheries management and biodiversity conservation within the protected seascape. This Fisheries Annex is also intended to complement the Sarangani Bay and Sulawesi Sea Sustainable Fisheries Management Plan developed by BFAR Region 12 and local partners for the Fisheries Management Area in the Celebes Sea (Sulawesi Seas) in Southern Mindanao. This document was produced for review and approval by the United States Agency for International Development/Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA).

Homes, General Santos 9500, the Philippines; 4Sociology Department, College of Social Sciences and Humanities, Mindanao State University-Fatima, General Santos 9500, the Philippines) Abstract: This paper discussed effects of lowland-associated influences on upland ecology, food security and biocultural diversity in the Sarangani farming communities of the Philippines. In the uplands of Sarangani Province, the conservation of traditional rice varieties, the centrality of rice in tribal life, and the continued observance of planting rituals attest to its cultural significance and convey a common desire for cultural preservation and community solidarity. Economic and socio-political pressures had transformed tribal communities, although vestiges of traditional farming systems are still being practiced in remote sitios (villages). Changing land use patterns had also resulted in shrinking farm sizes and consequently in food insecurity in the Sarangani uplands. Extractive industries (i.e. logging, mining and charcoal making) and swidden farming were observed to cause widespread environmental degradation, while modern agriculture had undermined the capacity of indigenous peoples to survive because of their complete dependence on lands and resources.

    Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines November 2005 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG-ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) http://www.nscb.gov.ph in cooperation with The WORLD BANK Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines FOREWORD This report is part of the output of the Poverty Mapping Project implemented by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) with funding assistance from the World Bank ASEM Trust Fund. The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

  • Children in Armed Conflict: Philippines
    CHILDREN IN ARMED CONFLICT: PHILIPPINES Processes and Lessons Learned | 2009-2017 Action Plan on the Recruitment and Use of Children in Armed Conflict United Nations and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front FOREWORD The successful implementation of the UN-MILF Action Plan was a significant milestone in the international community’s global commitment to fulfil the rights of children in situations of armed conflict. The eight-year implementation started in 2009 and ended in July 2017 with the disengagement of nearly 2000 children and the delisting of the MILF- BIAF from the annexes of the UN Secretary General’s Report. Reaching its completion was challenging and required tremendous effort by all involved. I am pleased to acknowledge the commitment of the Government of the Philippines and the MILF leadership toward ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Action Plan. Particular appreciation is also owed to the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Children and Armed Conflict for its oversight and guidance, and to the United Nations in the Philippines. We also recognize the large number of our civil society partners in Mindanao who worked tirelessly on the ground to achieve the results highlighted here. This report acknowledges their special contributions. This report is a valuable resource, locally and internationally, for understanding how to effectively implement a plan that has successfully stopped and now prevents recruitment and use of children by armed groups. However, while we celebrate this success, we must not forget that armed groups in Mindanao and many other locations around the world are still recruiting and using children in their struggles.

  • CHAPTER IV the JAPANESE INTERREGNUM, 1942-1945 A. The
    CHAPTER IV THE JAPANESE INTERREGNUM, 1942-1945 This chapter deals with the Japanese occupation of Koronadal Valley. An alien invading force would radically change the direction of developmental process in Koronadal Valley, particularly Buayan. From an envisioned agricultural settlement serving a major function for the Commonwealth government, Koronadal Valley was transformed into a local entity whose future direction would be determined by the people no longer in accordance with the objectives for which it was established but in accordance with the dynamics of growth in response to changing times. It is ironic that an event that was calamitous in itself would provide the libertarian condition to liberate Koronadal Valley from the limiting confines of Commonwealth Act No. 441. But more than structural change, the Japanese interlude put to test the new community. The sudden departure from the scene of the two titans of the community - General Paulino Santos and Mayor Abedin - raised the urgent need for the people left behind to take stock of themselves and respond to the difficult times sans the guiding hands of its leaders. A. The Southward Thrust of Japan to Mindanao To the people of the valley, the war was received with shock, fear and trepidation. It was like a thief in the night coming when everybody was unprepared. One settler recalled: “We were afraid when we heard over the radio that the Japanese are coming. We immediately evacuated and left behind our farms and animals. We hid in the mountains of Palkan, proceeding to Glamang and then to Kiamba. Our hunger drove us to dig sweet potatoes from the farms that we passed by.

  • Morphometric Analysis of Silway River Basin in Southern Mindanao, Philippines for Flood Risk Management a Supplementary of Flood Modeling
    MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SILWAY RIVER BASIN IN SOUTHERN MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES FOR FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT A SUPPLEMENTARY OF FLOOD MODELING Rose Ann I. Barro1 and George R. Puno2 1Research Associate, (CMU Phil-LiDAR 1) Project, College of Forestry and Environmental Science, Central Mindanao University, University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon 8710, Philippines Email: [email protected] 2Associate Professor, (CMU Phil-LiDAR 1) Project, College of Forestry and Environmental Science, Central Mindanao University, University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon 8710, Philippines Email: [email protected] KEY WORDS: morphometric, river basin, Silway River, disaster management, flood modeling ABSTRACT. Flood modeling studies in many countries today is not anymore new for the purpose of forecasting, early warning purposes and disaster management of the local government and other disaster agencies. However, with the limitation of the hydrologic data (rainfall and discharge data) for the flood simulation, morphometric information of the river is the auxiliary to understand the flood potential of the river basin. Silway River Basin in Mindanao, Philippines is one of the four major river basins that flows towards General Santos City before discharging into the Sarangani Bay with a drainage area of 63,758 hectares. Among the four major river basins, Silway River Basin poses a greatest risk to the communities downstream when it comes to flooding. Consuming the 10 meter resolution SAR-DEM, the drainage system of the river basin was delineated in ArcMap 10.1 with the aid of HEC-GeoHMS. Ratio values of elongation (0.90), form factor (0.63) and circularity (0.26) indicated of very low relief and oval in shape. Compact and ovoid shape results to high peak of discharge and runoff during high rainfall events.

  • ALAMCCO the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
    3 July 2019 SEC ISSUES CEASE AND DESIST ORDER AGAINST ALMAMICO/ ALAMCCO The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has ordered Alabel Maasim Mining (ALMAMICO) Corp., Alabel-Maasim Small Scale Mining Cooperative and/or Alabel- Maasim Credit Cooperative (ALAMCCO) to stop soliciting investments from the public without the necessary license and through a Ponzi scheme. The Commission En Banc on June 4 issued a cease and desist order against ALMAMICO and ALAMCCO after the SEC Enforcement and Investor Protection Department adduced substantial evidence that said entities engaged in offering and selling to the public securities in the form of investment contracts without the necessary license from the Commission. ALMAMICO and ALAMCCO operate largely in Sarangani, General Santos City and Koronadal City. They invite members to invest certain amounts in exchange for a guaranteed 35% monthly return, which is supposedly compounded when investors lock in their investments for a year. The scheme satisfies the elements of an investment contract, as follows: 1) there is a placement of money; 2) the money invested is placed in a common enterprise; 3) there is an expectation of profits; 4) the expected profits are generated from the entrepreneurial and managerial efforts of others. ALMAMICO and ALAMCCO were also found to have engaged in public offering of securities when they indiscriminately or randomly promoted their investment schemes through videos posted online. Section 8.1 of Republic Act No. 8799, or the Securities Regulation Code provides that "securities shall not be sold or offered for sale or distribution within the Philippines, without a registration statement duly filed with and approved by the Commission." Aside from lacking the necessary license, the investment scheme of ALMAMICO and ALAMCCO resembles a Ponzi scheme, an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors.
