Hindi po pwede iyong bara bara, patse patse lang. Ang RAY po ay ang tinatawag natin na ‘whole-of-government’ approach ng gobyerno. Pinag-isipan, pinagplanuhan at ipatutupad ng tuloy tuloy, lahat makikinabang, sama sama at walang maiiwan. Ang idea natin sa RAY Program ay ‘Build Back Better’. Ito po ay para masiguro natin na ang mga istraktura, lalo na ang mga importanteng gusali o opisina sa isang LGU ay maisa-ayos upang maibalik sa normal ang public service at ang takbo ng buhay ng tao lalo na sa tao na nasalanta ng bagyong Yolanda. Sa RAY ay gustong tiyakin ng gobyerno na mas matibay, mas maayos at mas ligtas ang mga itatayong istraktura. Former Secretary Mar Roxas ‘DILG Chief visits Yolanda projects in Samar’ 8 April 2015 Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines On 8 November 2013, Super Typhoon Yolanda (internationally known as Haiyan) struck the Philippines, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.

  • Trials and Tribulations in Locating Tree Farmers and Sites for Research and Extension Activities
    15. TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS IN LOCATING TREE FARMERS AND SITES FOR RESEARCH AND EXTENSION ACTIVITIES Edwin Cedamon, Samuel Bernaldez and Jack Baynes The major aim of ACIAR project ASEM 2003/052 is to improve financial returns to existing smallholder tree farms in Leyte through a number of extension activities. In order to identify sites suitable for extension activities, visits were made to some tree farms (either registered or not registered with DENR) in Leyte. For this purpose, the initial aim was to identify at least 30 tree farms representing a range of age classes, species, soil types, elevation and climate. In addition, tree farms should have an area of at least 0.25 ha. Various difficulties were encountered in fieldwork designed to locate these tree farms. The main reason was associated with inconsistencies in the database of registered tree farms compiled by Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (CENROs) which included information concerning tree farm location, owner, species and plantation area. Specific difficulties encountered in finding sites included nonexistence of some registered tree farms, inability to interview some farm owners because they do not reside near their tree farm, some tree farms have a low stocking against what was listed with the CENRO. Despite these difficulties, 76 tree farms were found during October to December 2004. Seventy one tree farms were GPS referenced and 37 tree farm owners were interviewed. INTRODUCTION ACIAR Project ASEM 2003/052 – titled ‘Improving financial returns to smallholder tree farmers in the Philippines’ involves cooperative research between staff of the College of Forestry at Leyte State University, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Australian researchers.

  • A Summary of Palau's Typhoon History 1945-2013
    A Summary of Palau’s Typhoon History 1945-2013 Coral Reef Research Foundation, Palau Dec, 2014 © Coral Reef Research Foundation 2014 Suggested citation: Coral Reef Research Foundation, 2014. A Summary of Palau’s Typhoon History. Technical Report, 17pp. www.coralreefpalau.org Additions and suggestions welcome. Please email: [email protected] 2 Summary: Since 1945 Palau has had 68 recorded typhoons, tropical storms or tropical depressions come within 200 nmi of its islands or reefs. At their nearest point to Palau, 20 of these were typhoon strength with winds ≥64kts, or an average of 1 typhoon every 3 years. November and December had the highest number of significant storms; July had none over 40 kts and August had no recorded storms. Data Compilation: Storms within 200 nmi (nautical miles) of Palau were identified from the Digital Typhoon, National Institute of Informatics, Japan web site (http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital- typhoon/reference/besttrack.html.en). The storm tracks and intensities were then obtained from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) (https://metoc.ndbc.noaa.gov/en/JTWC/). Three storm categories were used following the JTWC: Tropical Depression, winds ≤ 33 kts; Tropical Storm, winds 34-63 kts; Typhoon ≥64kts. All track data was from the JTWC archives. Tracks were plotted on Google Earth and the nearest distance to land or reef, and bearing from Palau, were measured; maximum sustained wind speed in knots (nautical miles/hr) at that point was recorded. Typhoon names were taken from the Digital Typhoon site, but typhoon numbers for the same typhoon were from the JTWC archives.
