Georgina Nora Mary Jordan The response of small scale agricultural producers in the Philippines to livelihood threats arising from market integration has received less attention than responses to other threats. The ability of agricultural producers to respond to changes in their production environment is an important component of livelihood resilience. This research unravels the patterns of livelihood response used by small scale agricultural producers in the Philippines affected by livelihood threats resulting from changes in their production environment as a result of agricultural trade liberalisation.

  • Managing the Mountain and the Monkeys: Philippine Millenarian Movement and the Local Dynamics of Community-Based Wildlife Management in Mt
    Draft. Please inform the author when citing parts of the paper. Managing the mountain and the monkeys: Philippine millenarian movement and the local dynamics of community-based wildlife management in Mt. Apo Natural Park (Mindanao, Philippines)α Myfel Joseph D. Paluga Department of Social Sciences, CHSS University of the Philippines in Mindanao [email protected] Abstract The paper presents a case study of the role of mountain-dwelling millenarian settlers (Moncadistas) of Mt. Apo Natural Park [MANP] (Mindanao, Philippines) in wildlife conservation—especially the Philippine macaques (Macaca fascicularis philippinensis)—and in the management of the area of the natural park in general. The present village of New Israel (Makilala, North Cotabato: western region of the MANP) is a Moncadista community that has developed unique responses and adaptations to the socio-ecological context of Mt. Apo. As an iconic example, since the middle of the last century (1950s), the village has evolved a case of human-macaque co- dwelling where wild/tamed troops of monkeys are actively taken-cared of, provisioned and given a wider degree of tolerance in roaming the village spaces. Internal and external challenges both constrain and sustain such practices and invite comparison and contrast with the practices of other mountain-dwelling groups and indigenous peoples vis-à-vis the wildlife of their area. Foremost of such challenge is the tension between maintaining their religious and culturally-based conservationist visions for the place (like provisioning the monkeys) and the possibility of breeding monkeys as agricultural pests for contiguous areas of the protected area. The paper focuses on three important dimensions in the emergence and dynamics of their local resources management: the conservationist by-products of their millenarian religious visions, their inter-ethnic relations with the indigenous groups of the place (Tagabawa Bagobo), and the ecological context offered by the natural-cultural settings of Mt.
