Immediately after the earthquake, UNDP joined the multi-sectoral assessment which looked into the most urgent needs of the affected population. As the co-lead of the Early Recovery (ER) Cluster, UNDP zeroed in on the specific ER needs of the communities and formulated project interventions which could facilitate their early recovery and help establish the foundations for long-term development. With funding assistance of USD 800,000 from the Government of Japan, the project “Debris Management and Livelihood Support for areas affected by the Bohol Earthquake,” or the Bohol Early Recovery Project, was designed to benefit the ten (10) hardest hit municipalities in southwestern Bohol namely, Maribojoc, Antequera, Loon, Calape, Tubigon, Clarin, Inabanga, Sagbayan, Catigbian, and San Isidro. The project later expanded to include the nearby municipality of Carmen (component 1 only) upon the request of its municipal government for assistance in addressing the effects of the earthquake.

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.
