  • The Bangsamoro Peace Process and Peacebuilding in Mindanao: Implications to Philippine Studies and National Development
    Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 19, Number 3, 2016 The Bangsamoro Peace Process and Peacebuilding in Mindanao: Implications to Philippine Studies and National Development Juvanni A. Caballero Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines Mark Anthony J. Torres Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines INTRODUCTION As early as 1931, Moro leaders who were in favor of Moro integration into the Philippine body politichad already expressed their concerns on the marginalization of Mindanao and its native inhabitants. Datu Ibra, then representative of Lanao to the Philippine Legislature once said in his privilege speech: A nation is like a human body. To be healthy, all its parts must be healthy. A man cannot be said to be healthy because his arms are strong provided his feet are weak… A beautiful Manila does not constitute a beautiful Philippines, and so we ask you to pay more serious attention to the problems of the south, which in progress is far behind the north.1 The above speech of Datu Ibra gives us a lot of insights. First, it reminds us that the Philippines cannot be complete without Mindanao. Hence, if we talk about Philippine development, Mindanao cannot be detached from it. Second, the speech reminds us that the problem in Mindanao is a Philippine problem. Thus, people from other parts of the country should not say: “Mindanao is too far from us” or “The problem in Mindanao is not our problem”. After all, the war efforts to contain “Moro rebellion” are financed by Filipino taxpayers; Soldiers recruited to fight the Moro “rebels” often come from other regions of the Philippines; and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Mindanao migrate to overcrowded cities in Luzon and Visayas.

  • Oil Palm Expansion in the Philippines Analysis of Land Rights, Environment and Food Security Issues5
    Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples 4. Oil palm expansion in the Philippines Analysis of land rights, environment and food security issues5 Jo Villanueva Introduction In recent years, the unprecedented and rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, has spurred considerable concern in the light of its adverse impact on the environment, biodiversity, global warming, 5 This study has also been published as a chapter in “Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: Trends and Implications for Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples. (FPP & SawitWatch 2011). Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples the displacement of local (and indigenous) communities, the erosion of traditional livelihoods, and the undermining of indigenous peoples and workers‟ rights. In Indonesia, oil palm expansion has contributed to deforestation, peat degradation, loss of biodiversity, ravaging forest fires and a wide range of unresolved social conflicts. In Sarawak, Malaysia, the impact of oil palm includes loss and destruction of forest resources, unequal profit-sharing, water pollution and soil nutrient depletion. In the midst of the increasing profitability of palm oil in the world market, the versatility of its by- products and its potential as a source of biomass in the food and manufacturing industry, a raging debate has ensued between and amongst civil society and industry members over whether palm oil is a necessary evil or whether the costs of this industry on lives, land and environment far outweigh its worth. Although considered a fledgling industry in the Philippine agribusiness sector and while its size is certainly small compared to the millions of hectares of oil palm plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, the Philippines has been cultivating and processing palm oil for the past three decades.

  • Tuna Fishing and a Review of Payaos in the Philippines
    Session 1 - Regional syntheses Tuna fishing and a review of payaos in the Philippines Jonathan O. Dickson*1', Augusto C. Nativiclacl(2) (1) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 860 Arcadia Bldg., Quezon Avenue, Quezon City 3008, Philippines - [email protected] (2) Frabelle Fishing Company, 1051 North Bay Blvd., Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines Abstract Payao is a traditional concept, which has been successfully commercialized to increase the landings of several species valuable to the country's export and local industries. It has become one of the most important developments in pelagic fishing that significantly contributed to increased tuna production and expansion of purse seine and other fishing gears. The introduction of the payao in tuna fishing in 1975 triggered the rapid development of the tuna and small pelagic fishery. With limited management schemes and strategies, however, unstable tuna and tuna-like species production was experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. In this paper, the evolution and development of the payao with emphasis on the technological aspect are reviewed. The present practices and techniques of payao in various parts of the country, including its structure, ownership, distribution, and fishing operations are discussed. Monitoring results of purse seine/ringnet operations including handline using payao in Celebes Sea and Western Luzon are presented to compare fishing styles and techniques, payao designs and species caught. The fishing gears in various regions of the country for harvesting payao are enumerated and discussed. The inshore and offshore payaos in terms of sea depth, location, designs, fishing methods and catch composi- tion are also compared. Fishing companies and fisherfolk associations involved in payao operation are presented to determine extent of uti- lization and involvement in the municipal and commercial sectors of the fishing industry.
