THE VELIGER © CMS, Inc., 1988 The Veliger 30(4):408-411 (April 1, 1988) Two New Species of Liotiinae (Gastropoda: Turbinidae) from the Philippine Islands by JAMES H. McLEAN Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90007, U.S.A. Abstract. Two new gastropods of the turbinid subfamily Liotiinae are described: Bathyliontia glassi and Pseudoliotina springsteeni. Both species have been collected recently in tangle nets off the Philippine Islands. INTRODUCTION types are deposited in the LACM, the U.S. National Mu seum of Natural History, Washington (USNM), and the A number of new or previously rare species have been Australian Museum, Sydney (AMS). Additional material taken in recent years by shell fishermen using tangle nets in less perfect condition of the first described species has in the Philippine Islands, particularly in the Bohol Strait between Cebu and Bohol. Specimens of the same two new been recognized in the collections of the USNM and the species in the turbinid subfamily Liotiinae have been re Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris (MNHN). ceived from Charles Glass of Santa Barbara, California, and Jim Springsteen of Melbourne, Australia.

Current Politics of Foreshore Reclamation in Tagbilaran City: the Emerging Prospects and Challenges
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8055 (Online) CURRENT POLITICS OF FORESHORE RECLAMATION IN TAGBILARAN CITY: THE EMERGING PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES Prof. Erika Barbarona Holy Name University [email protected] Dr. Frederico B. Ticong Holy Name University [email protected] Maeveen Marie R. Durban Holy Name University [email protected] Minette Almedilla Holy Name University Elne Galon Holy Name University -Abstract- The study aimed to assess the current status of foreshore reclamation in the City of Tagbilaran. The City of Tagbilaran sets the demands of the increasing urbanization, facing the challenge of economic expansion in foreshore areas. Using the quantitative and qualitative method, the researchers were able to assess the current politics of foreshore reclamation based on the analysis of its emerging challenges and prospects. The data revealed that the respondents have seen the challenge of having an increase of transportation and population explosion that would result to high level of noise and disturbance of the ecosystem and nature. The possibility of a highly competitive and more urbanized city, expanding infrastructure, more workers creating economic stability and new attractions does not compensate the challenges. The researchers found out that businessmen who are in the government are holding back the people in deciding about the existence of foreshore reclamation. In fact, there are still more public land areas available to 48 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8055 (Online) utilize and develop that would not lead them to resort for foreshore reclamation. Hence, people in Tagbilaran City were not yet ready to become a highly urbanized city. -

Investigations Into the Elemental Composition of Earthenware Vessels from the Guthe Collection Using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis
Investigations into the Elemental Composition of Earthenware Vessels from the Guthe Collection using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis ALICE YAO introduction: local earthenware vessels of the central visayans Important to the growth of chiefdom polities in the Philippines is the expansion of internal trade between coastal and inland groups ( Bacus 1990 : 349–350; Junker 1999 : 262). Ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence indicate that earthenware pottery manufactured by lowland coastal potters was one of the primary products traditionally exchanged between coastal and inland groups. While the increasing value placed on import ceramics (porcelain and celadon) and their role in the political economy has been well documented, local dimensions of production and internal trade are also important to an understanding of the political economy. Specifically, the organization of local pottery production may have changed to accommodate the development and consolidation of alliances between coastal and interior groups, as Junker (1999) discovered in the Tanjay chiefdom (264). During the height of Tanjay’s power, which spanned the early to mid second millennium ad, growing status stratifi- cation between elites spurred an expansion in regional earthenware exchange ( Jun ker 1999 : 290 –291). Earthenware were not only functional domestic vessels but also fa- cilitated feasts and public gatherings held by chiefs. Control over the manufacture and distribution of these wares was thus economically important to the creation of polit- ical alliances and subjects. The identification of compositional groups within local earthenware assem blages presents a potential means to the evaluation of exchange and production systems. Junker’s (1990) study of temper and morphology of earthenware represented a seminal approach to the detection of local versus non-local ware.
