World Chambers Competition Best job creation and business development project Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry The Philippines FINALIST I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (NOCCI), being the only recognized voice of business in the Province of Negros Oriental, Philippines, developed the TIP PROJECT or the TRADE TOURISM and INVESTMENT PROMOTION ("TIP" for short) PROJECT to support its mission in conducting trade, tourism and investment promotion, business development activities and enhancement of the business environment of the Province of Negros Oriental. The TIP Project was conceptualized during the last quarter of 2013 and was launched in January, 2014 as the banner project of the Chamber to support its new advocacy for inclusive growth and local economic development through job creation and investment promotion. The banner project was coined from the word “tip” - which means giving sound business advice or sharing relevant information and expertise to all investors, businessmen, local government officials and development partners. The TIP Project was also conceptualized to highlight the significant role and contribution of NOCCI as a champion for local economic development and as a banner project of the Chamber to celebrate its Silver 25th Anniversary by December, 2016. For two years, from January, 2015 to December, 2016, NOCCI worked closely with its various partners in local economic development like the Provincial Government, Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), Non- Government Organizations (NGOs), Industry Associations and international funding agencies in implementing its various job creation programs and investment promotion activities to market Negros Oriental as an ideal investment/business destination for tourism, retirement, retail, business process outsourcing, power/energy and agro-industrial projects.

Birds from Canlaon Volcano in the Highlands of Negros Island in the Philippines
July, 1956 283 BIRDS FROM CANLAON VOLCANO IN THE HIGHLANDS OF NEGROS ISLAND IN THE PHILIPPINES By S. DILLON RIPLEY and D. S. RABOR Several ornithological collectors have worked on Negros Island, which is the fourth largest of the 7090 islands that form the Philippine Archipelago. However, John White- head, the famous English naturalist, was the only person who collected extensively in the highlands of this island. Whitehead worked on the slopes of Canlaon Volcano, in the north-central section in March and April, 1896. Since that time no other collector has visited this volcano until April and May, 1953, when one of us, Rabor, collected in prac- tically the same places in which Whitehead worked. This study of the birds of the high- lands of Negros Island was carried on chiefly through the aid of the Peabody Museum of Natural History of Yale University. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY OF THE COLLECTING LOCALITIES The principal central mountain chain traverses Negros Island from its northeast corner south to the southern end. This range lies closer to the east side than to the west and forms a divide throughout the extent of the island. A dormant volcano, Canlaon, with an elevation of about 8200 feet, is the most prominent peak in the north-central section of the mountain chain, and it is easily the dominant landmark of the western coastal plain. Many of the mountains of Negros Island are volcanic (Smith, 1924). The north- western region, where most of the sugar cane is grown, is mainly of volcanic origin, whereas the southeastern portion consists of folded and faulted plutonic rocks, slates, and jaspers, probably of Mesozoic Age, and some Tertiary extrusives, all more or less dissected and worn down by erosion.

Less than 250 adults in the wild, populations highly fragmented and declining; IUCN 2009) (last assessed Range: Philippines in 1996). Taxonomic Status The Philippine crocodile was described in 1935 by Karl Schmidt on the basis of a type specimen and three paratypes from the island of Mindoro (Schmidt 1935, 1938). Schmidt also described the closely related New Guinea freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus novaeguineae) in 1928 and later made a comparison of morphological differences between C. mindorensis, C. novaeguineae and C. porosus, maintaining C. mindorensis as a separate species (1956). However the Philippine crocodile has long been treated as C. novaeguineae mindorensis, a sub-species of the New Guinea crocodile, by other authorities. Hall (1989) provided new evidence of the distinctness of the Philippine crocodile and nowadays C. mindorensis is generally treated as a full species endemic to the Philippines. Figure 1.

The Mineral Industry of the Phillipines of 1999
THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF THE PHILIPPINES By Travis Q. Lyday The Philippines has a long, well-established history of major material was spilled into the Boac River system and coastal production from its mines and previously ranked among the areas of Marinduque Island because of a tailings dam failure, world’s top 10 in the production of chromite, copper, nickel, some rules and regulations of the act were revised and new and gold. Production was hampered for much of the last two ones written to incorporate a setting for environmental decades by the effects of low foreign investment owing to protection and social responsibility, as well as for mineral political instability, low international metal prices accompanied resource development. The act became one of the most modern by high operating and production costs, labor problems, and in the Asia-Pacific area because its environmental provisions natural disasters. Nevertheless, in 1999, the Philippines ranked are on a par with other established mineral-producing countries second to Indonesia in the Asia Pacific region in terms of and it safeguards the indigenous culture of local communities mineral prospectivity and resources (Resource Information (Luna, 1998, p. 7). Unit, 2000, p. 12). The Philippine Mining Law provides three major forms of In 1999, the mining industry was dominated by only seven mining rights—Exploration Permit (EP), Mineral Agreement companies. Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co.

The Negros Ark: a Hypothesis the Systematics and Biogeography of Rhopalocera (Lepidoptera) in the Philippines
REVIEW PAPER | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology The Negros Ark: A Hypothesis The systematics and biogeography of Rhopalocera (Lepidoptera) in the Philippines Jade Aster T. Badon* ABSTRACT Current distributional data on Philippine butterflies suggests that colonization and exchange of species between Luzon and Mindanao are hypothesized to have occurred during the Miocene Epoch (23-5.3 million years ago). Species from the families Pieridae, Hesperiidae, and Zygaenidae were set as an example to explain some disjunction of distribution of some species in the archipelago. The hypothesis will definitely become an interest in the field of biogeographical and phylogenetic studies in the country. KEYWORDS: butterfly, colonization, biogeography INTRODUCTION that the genus Delias (Hübner 1819) originated in Australia (Braby & Pierce 2006), and the genus also likely to have Baltazar (1991) published the first checklist of Philippine colonized neighboring islands during the early Miocene (23- butterflies which provided island distribution, while Treadaway 5.3 million years ago) (Figure 1f) and reached the Wallacea and Schroeder (2012) published a revised edition which also (Müller et al. 2012).

Overview of the Case Study Areas in the Philippines
Employment and Skills Strategies in the Philippines © OECD 2017 Chapter 2 Overview of the case study areas in the Philippines To better understand the role of the local level in contributing to job creation and productivity, this review examined employment and economic development programme activities in Taguig City, Cebu City, and Davao City. This chapter provides a labour market and economic overview of each city as well as the results from an OECD analysis which looks at place-based skills mismatches at the local level in the Philippines. 31 2. OVERVIEW OF THE CASE STUDY AREAS IN THE PHILIPPINES Overview of the case study areas For this publication, the cities of Taguig, Cebu and Davao have been selected as case study areas. Taguig City is situated in the National Capital Region (NCR) in the northern island of Luzon. Cebu City is located in Cebu Province, Central Visayas Region while Davao City is found in Davao Region in the southern island of Mindanao. Local government units in the Philippines directly manage a suite of employment and training programmes, which operate under the umbrella of a public employment service office (PESO). The involvement of local government units (LGUs) in employment facilitation and labour market intermediation is consistent with the Local Government Code, which requires the promotion of full employment among their residents (Local Government Code, sec. 16). A case study approach is used in this OECD project to understand the implementation of programmes, compare local approaches and gather best practices. Such an approach also aims to determine how employment and skills policies are contributing to economic development and job creation at the local level.

Nine are of the siblings, though one brother is missing, and another is of a cousin. These images surround one of the siblings’ deceased parents. In the place that I will call Santa Rosa, many families have similar displays, which often include framed degree certificates. These photographs in the Mahilways’ house are unusually vivid. In them—black and white studio shots and the kinds of images shown in school yearbooks—the siblings and their cousin wear university gowns. The photo of the parents is in color and was taken on the occasion of one child’s graduation. The parents, Lolo Minong and Lola Ising, are considered exemplary by other old-timers.1 Like many of their generation, they had limited schooling and derived their livelihood from farming. They were among the first in the village to successfully send their children to college to pursue degrees in teach- ing, engineering, and nursing.2 Several of these children eventually migrated to Acknowledgments: This essay draws from research supported by a Wadsworth International Fel- lowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation and a Social Anthropology/Social and Political Science doctoral studentship from the University of Edinburgh.
