Mount Halcon Conservation and Management Plan (2012-2022): Participating Institutions: Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro Mindoro Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc. (MBCFI) Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) National Commission for Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) Philippine National Police (PNP); Philippine Army (PA); Local Government Units of Naujan, Baco, and San Teodoro; Mangyan Mission; Mindoro Ecological and Sustainable Agriculture Federation (MESAFED); Kapulungan Para sa Lupang Ninuno (KPLN); Samahan ng mga Nagkakaisang Mangyan Alangan (SANAMA); Mal-anggatan Iraya Paranawan Kakuyayan, Inc.

Gatumbato Cover Photo: Emelina Mandia, Ph.D. Mount Halcon Conservation and Management Plan (2012-2022) January 2012 FOREWORD This conservation and management plan of the Mt. Halcon Range in Oriental Mindoro province is the general output of the planning processes convened and facilitated jointly by the Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro and the Mindoro Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc. The provincial government issued Executive Order No. 47, entitled “An Executive Order Creating the Technical Working Group to Formulate the Mt. Halcon Conservation and Protection Plan, Defining its Functions and for Other Purposes.” The said EO provided a mandate for the different planning processes to proceed, and defined the framework for the development of this plan. This plan aims to serve as a guide to stakeholders in the management of Mt. Halcon as a biodiversity important site and as a culturally significant area. Representatives from local government units, Indigenous Peoples, non-government organizations, and concerned national government agencies led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples, participated in a series of planning workshops conducted for the development of this management plan. The different plans of these stakeholders pertaining to Mt. Halcon, including the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plans of the IPs, were considered and input in this document. It should be noted that since Mt. Halcon has no specific technical spatial coverage, the management planning attempted to define the boundaries of the site based on its biological and physical attributes as a watershed. As such, the different sub- watersheds within the Mt. Halcon Range were delineated and became the management units in the spatial analysis of this plan. The provincial government and MBCFI commissioned a consultant, who has an extensive background on natural resources conservation planning, governance and institutional arrangements, protected area management, and project planning, monitoring and evaluation, to assist in facilitating the different planning exercises and provide technical assistance.. The consultant was tasked to ensure participatory planning processes, and develop the planning framework to make sure that the planning exercises and corresponding output are within the standards of appropriate and applicable regulations in relation to the status of Mt. Halcon as a Key Biodiversity Area of the Philippines. In the preparation of this document, the consultant and MBCFI worked together to review the various planning output, and provided additional notes and input to elaborate more clearly on what was discussed and presented in the planning sessions. The issues and concerns presented during planning are explained further to provide more context, while the goals, objectives, and strategies are presented in detail, based on the listed points of the participants in the strategic planning workshop. 2 Mount Halcon Conservation and Management Plan (2012-2022) January 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS Content Page No. Foreword 2 List of Acronyms 5 List of Figures 6 List of Tables 6 List of Boxes 7 Executive Summary 8 1.

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

    Adaptation and foraging from the Terminal Pleistocene to the Early Holocene: Excavation at Bubog on Ilin Island, Philippines Alfred F. Pawlik1, Philip J. Piper2, Marie Grace Pamela G. Faylona3, Sabino G. Padilla, Jr.{4, Jane Carlos1, Armand S. B. Mijares1, Benjamin Vallejo, Jr.1, Marian Reyes1, Noel Amano1, Thomas Ingicco1, Martin Porr5 1University of the Philippines Diliman, 2Australian National University, 3National Museum of the Philippines, 4University of the Philippines Manila, 5University of Western Australia The recently discovered human remains from Callao Cave, northern Luzon, Philippines securely date the migration of hominins into the Philippines to ca. 70 kya (thousands of years ago). The direct route to reach Luzon from the Asian mainland is via Borneo, Palawan, through Mindoro and into Luzon. Our research focuses on Mindoro Island as a potential stepping stone to the main Philippine Archipelago. While Palawan and Luzon have produced evidence for early human occupation, no systematic research on the prehistory of Mindoro has been conducted until now. We report on recent archaeological investigations at the Bubog rockshelter sites on the small island of Ilin just off the coast of Mindoro. The excavations produced evidence of stratified sequences of human habitation at the two rockshelter sites in the form of dense shell middens that date to ca. 11 kya onwards. They provide direct evidence on how variability in landscape formation, sea levels, and landmass during the terminal Pleistocene and early Holocene influenced the behavior of early human populations. Numerous species of molluscs were recorded and provisional results indicate variations in the invertebrate faunas throughout the stratigraphic sequences, resulting from sea level rise and the establishment of coral reefs between Ilin and Mindoro at the end of the Pleistocene.

    Cloud Rats in the Philippines — Preliminary Report on Distribution

    ORYX VOL 27 NO 1 JANUARY 1993 Cloud rats in the Philippines - preliminary report on distribution and status W. L. R. Oliver, C. R. Cox, P. C. Gonzales and L. R. Heaney This paper describes a preliminary field survey of bushy-tailed cloud rats Crateromys spp. and slender-tailed cloud rats Phloeomys in the Philippines in April and May 1990. Brief visits were made to all islands/locations known to support these animals and also to neighbouring areas considered likely to do so. Comparing the results with information from previous surveys suggests that both genera, particularly Crateromys, are more widely distributed than formerly believed, but that some forms are threatened. Three of the four known species of Crateromys are known only from their holotype specimens, one of which awaits description. Another is extinct in its type locality on Ilin Island but may survive on neighbouring Mindoro. These preliminary findings indicate that thorough surveys are required to establish the status of certain species, to investigate the possibility that new species remain undiscovered and to develop conservation plans to reduce the likelihood of further extinctions occurring. The discovery of the Panay species means Introduction that the genus Crateromys is now known from widely separated locations in each of the four There are at least 22 genera and 52 species of principal faunal regions or late Pleistocene murid rodents in the Philippines, of which 16 islands (Luzon, Mindoron, Mindanoan and genera and 44 species are endemic (Heaney et Negros) as defined by Heaney (1986) on the al., 1987). Among the endemic genera are basis of the 120 m bathymetric line (Figure 1).

    Ecosystems & Development Journal 8(2): 3-27 October 2018 ISSN 2012– 3612 ABSTRACT Mt. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary (MCWS) is regarded as home to more than a hundred species of plants, but its floristic composition, vegetation structure, and diversity pattern remained unclear since its declaration as a protected area. Floristic Composition, After the recent plant diversity assessment conducted following the prescribed methodology by the DENR–Biodiversity Vegetation Structure, and Management Bureau, the conservation value of the mountain was emphasized. This paper provides a concrete evidence that Diversity Pattern of Mt. MCWS is home to diverse yet unique species of plants. A total of 181 morpho–species belonging to 67 families were recorded. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary: MCWS now holds a large number of species of at least 250 morpho–species based on the assessment and gathered Basis for Management and secondary data. Thirty–three (33) are threatened and forty–six (46) species are endemic to the Philippines. Four (4) species Conservation Planning are known to occur only in MCWS, namely – Ardisia 1,2 1,3* calavitensis Merr., Peristrophe cordatibractea Merr., Pastor L. Malabrigo, Jr. , Adriane B. Tobias and Urophyllum mindorense Merr., and Cyrtochloa mindorensis S. Jeferson C. Boncodin1 Dranf. Majority of the species (about 67%) recorded are non– endemic indigenous. Dominant species in MCWS from 200 masl to 600 masl were also revealed. Mostly are species belonging to Fabaceae, Lauraceae, Malvaceae, Moraceae, Myrtaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Rubiaceae, Sapindaceae, and Sterculiaceae. MCWS, being comprised of a mosaic of different vegetation from grassland to secondary forest, has generally a INTRODUCTION stunted vegetation due to harsh environmental condition.

    The Pride and Joy of the Bacoeños of Oriental Mindoro

    1 E-KWENTO SEPTEMBER 2020 Sitio Lagunlong Community Development Organization: The Pride and Joy of the Bacoeños of Oriental Mindoro Sitio Lagunlong Community Development Organization here was never a clear-cut path in reaching one’s dream. No one has gone down the same road and no one has experienced the exact same things. But one thing has always been certain to those who have achieved their dreams – pressing forward will not always be easy but it will always be worth it. This has been true for the people T of the remote Sitio Lagunlong in Barangay Water, Baco, Oriental Mindoro. Indigenous Mangyans have long resided on Mount Halcon in the town of Baco – home of 40,000 people where only a few were privileged enough to graduate in college and most of whom are jobless and have no stable source of income. No one will ever think that this town will amount to something big until one person dared to dream not just for himself, but also for his community. It all started with a small dream for Mr. Jordan Fajardo, Chairperson and Founder of Sitio Lagunlong Community Development Organization (SLCDO). He established SLCDO on February 5, 2014 as a microfinance institution with 20 members to help people in the community make ends meet and run their micro businesses. “Nagsimula kasi talaga siya sa isang pangarap. Na itong komunidad na ito ay magkaroon ng isang asosasyon na kumbaga, magiging kaagapay ng mga mamamayan sa community para mag giya doon sa pag-unlad ng kabuhayan ng bawat miyembro at magkaroon sila ng pagkakakitaan.” Mr.
