  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

  • HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT of the MUNICIPALITY of SAN PABLO, ISABELA Philippine Copyright © 15 January 2018
    Republic of the Philippines Province of Isabela ISABELA TOURISM OFFICE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF SAN PABLO, ISABELA Philippine Copyright © 15 January 2018 In recorded history, the oldest existing pueblo of the Province of Isabela since its foundation up to present time is the town of San Pablo. The territory of what is now the Municipality of San Pablo, Isabela was originally incorporated in the territory then known as La Irraya. Irraya (Addaya and Yrraya in other manuscripts) region comprised the vast area from Tuguegarao in Cagayan province up to the present Gamu town in Isabela province. Irraya was also the term used for the native’s name and their dialect. Irraya is an Ibanag word which means “upriver”. In the Gaddang dialect, the term “dirraya” also means “upriver”. In 1607, the provincial chapter of the Holy Rosary Province (or Dominicans) ordered Frays Luis Flores and Francisco Minaio to the Irraya speaking Pilitan (now a barangay of Tumauini town) and its adjoining communities, to exert all efforts that the natives must learn to speak Ibanag and to minister to them in the said language. In short, Ibanag (Ybanag) was made the official language in the valley. Ultimately, the distinct Irraya area, its people and the dialect became extinct with the whole area, its residents and tongue now known in the modern world as Ibanag. Only a handful from barangays Tallag and San Bernardo in Cabagan town can still remember some Irraya phrases. As a result of the historic Irraya Revolt on November 8, 1621, a new town was organized by Dominican missionary, Fray Pedro de Santo Tomas, gathering the Irrayas from the former Christian missions of Pilitan, Abbuatan, Bolo and Batavag and named it “Maquila” which was situated at the junction of the Cagayan and Pinacanauan Rivers of Tuguegarao.

Aquino2 Introduction The forests in the Sierra Madre Mountains SeT& major sourcegof income for the subsistence of many households within the uplands. They are the sources of sawlogs, fuelwood, and other products in various forms. Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) , more commonly called "minor forest products" in the past, abound in these mountains. Because of the great demand for NTFPs as raw materials for handicrafts (basketry, wood carvings, & wooven items) and furniture, and because of the recent restrictions in logging, exploitation pressures on them are becoming strong. In the forest areas, the very survival of the people is inextricably tied to the productivity of these areas (Briones, 1989) . Their dependency ends when the forest resources are depleted (Ramirez, 1988). It is therefore necessary to come up with policies so that forest utilization can be rationalized and be managed on a sustainable basis. Objectives This paper was derived from a portion of the study undertaken by the author for his MS Environmental Studies program. The study was conducted at San Mariano, Isabela, -a town within the Sierra Madre Mountains, where some major non-timber forest products (NTFPs) were highly commercialized and have a significant influence on the livelihood of the people. The objectives of this paper are: (1) to describe the utilization system of the two NTFPs significantly contributing to 'Paper presented during the International Association for the Study of Common Property (IASCP) Fourth Annual Common Property Conference on June 16-19, 1993, Philippine Village Hotel, Metro Manila, Philippines.

This report originated in a mission /1 to the Philippines in 1980, and Chapters 1 through 4 are essentiallyas that mission's yellow cover draft, issued in June 1981. That version drew attention to the likelihood of dramatic rice surpluses and led to a more detailed examinationof the poten- tial rice balance. The results were incorporatedin the green cover draft, issued in January 1982. Based on the data available, very large rice surpluses were projected through the 1990s, leading to questions on the advisabilityof the Governmentcontinuing with a major program of investment in new irrigation capacity. ii. The draft report was discussedwith the Government in February and May 1982, and, as a result, discrepanciesbetween data on irrigated areas and cropping intensity produced by the National IrrigationAdministration and the Ministry of Agriculturebecame apparent. The data proved to be reconcilable,however, and in this light a new set of projectionswere made. These are included in Chapters 5 and Annex 2 of this report. They suggest that while the Philippine rice supply is still likely to be considerablyin excess of domestic demand through the 1990s, provided real prices to farmers are maintained, this will be by a smaller amount than earlier projected.

  • A Cautionary Tale of Previously Unsuspected Mammalian Diversity on a Tropical Oceanic Island
    Peer Reviewed Title: Doubling diversity: a cautionary tale of previously unsuspected mammalian diversity on a tropical oceanic island Journal Issue: Frontiers of Biogeography, 8(2) Author: Heaney, Lawrence Richard, Field Museum Nat Hist Balete, Danilo S. Duya, Mariano Roy M. Duya, Melizar V. Jansa, Sharon A. Steppan, Scott J. Rickart, Eric A. Publication Date: 2016 Permalink: https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5qm701p2 Acknowledgements: For many years, our studies of the Philippine biota have been encouraged and supported by many people and institutions. We offer special thanks to our friends and colleagues at the Biodiversity Management Bureau (formerly Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau) of the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources; the National Museum of the Philippines; University of the Philippines Silliman University; Conservation International-Philippines; Haribon Foundation; the many provincial and local government units; and the people at each of our study areas who offered not only their hard work but their hospitality and friendship. The Field Museum’s Division of Mammals staff helped to prepare specimens for study and assisted in a host of other ways. Andria Niedzielski and Kayleigh Kueffner prepared the illustrations; photographs were taken by Balete, Heaney, and Rickart. This paper has been greatly improved by suggestions on an earlier draft made by the Editor (Mark Lomolino), Kostas Triantis, and an anonymous reviewer. To all, we are deeply grateful. Our initial studies of Luzon mammals were supported by the US National Science Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Grainger Foundation, and the Field Museum’s Ellen Thorne Smith and Marshall Field Funds. We owe special thanks to the Brown family (through the Barbara Brown Fund for Mammal Research) and the Negaunee Foundation for their continuous support and encouragement of this work, without which we would have accomplished little.
