When fully rehabilitated, Cantilan NIS will irrigate a total area of 2,500 ha consisting of the existing irrigated area of 2,000 ha and the proposed restoration area of 500 ha. The latter area had been included in the original service area of Cantilan NIS, but the irrigation canals and auxiliary structures were damaged and obliterated over the past 30 years due to frequent deferred maintenance. For the past five years, this latter area relied on rain-fed irrigation to produce rice only during the wet cropping seasons. The proposed rehabilitation scheme for Cantilan NIS will support 2,538 farm households by improving the reliability of irrigation water supply, allowing the rice production for at least two crops per year, stabilizing their staple food supply, and raising the level of their income. Of these households, 117 are residing in the proposed restoration area. About 99.8 percent of these farm households fall below the poverty line (estimated at PhP 13,743 per capita) in 2002 (SPISP, April 2004). In the future with the proposed rehabilitation scheme, the level of poverty incidence has been projected to be reduced by 10 percent. With this proposed rehabilitation of Cantilan NIS Subproject, no new acquisition of right-of- way (ROW) lands will be required considering that all irrigation canals and other structures to be repaired have been in existence from the early 1970s. However, the original acquisition of ROW lands during the construction of the existing irrigation system was not adequately documented. Consequently, the old ROW lands have not been formally segregated from parent titles and, worse, not been transferred to the NIA. Similarly, the previously affected 895 landowner-farmers were not duly compensated for the loss of land, and also continued to pay the real property taxes for ROW lands. In compliance with the Government and ADB policies on involuntary resettlement, the SPISP through the Cantilan Irrigation System Office (ISO) has undertaken consultations, orientations and workshops with the concerned farmers, the existing irrigators’ associations (IAs) and local government units (LGUs) to identify any probable involuntary resettlement impacts that may result from the proposed rehabilitation scheme as input to the preparation of a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP). A process for screening probable involuntary resettlement impacts and category based on the ADB’s recent guidelines on this subject has been developed and applied, and the results have reinforced the initial observation that no new persons or lands will be affected by the proposed rehabilitation scheme. With this, Cantilan NIS Subproject could qualify under “Involuntary Resettlement Category C” of the ADB’s guidelines, indicating that a resettlement plan is not a mandatory requirement. However, this short LARP has been prepared to pursue the following activities that provide further support to the concerned farmers to use the old ROW areas to be credited with their equity contributions as required under the Loan Agreement for the SPISP: 1) Documentation and segregation of the old ROW areas from parent titles - involving 1,030 lots with an estimated total area of 63.4 ha; 2) Determination of the current fair market values of the old ROW areas - to support the proposed conversion of such values into non-cash equity contributions of the Revised LARP vii Cantilan NIS Subproject ADB Loan 1668-PHI: Southern Philippines Irrigation Sector Project concerned farmers to the cost of the proposed rehabilitation works, including the proposed provision of cash compensation for 18 non-beneficiary farmers who were not previously compensated for the loss of their lands (4.82 ha) that happened

  • Indigenous Religion, Institutions and Rituals of the Mamanwas of Caraga Region, Philippines
    Asian Journal of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Vol. 1, No.1, 2013 INDIGENOUS RELIGION, INSTITUTIONS AND RITUALS OF THE MAMANWAS OF CARAGA REGION, PHILIPPINES Ramel D. Tomaquin College of Arts and Sciences Surigao del Sur State University Tandag City, Philippines Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Mamanwas, one of the IP communities of Caraga region. Said to be one of the original settlers of Caraga and considered the Negrito group of Mindanao. Only very few literatures and studies written about them. Despite of massive acculturation of other IP groups of the region such the Agusan-Surigao Manobos, the Mansaka/Mandaya, Banwaon, Higaanon and Talaandig. The Mamanwas still on the process of integration to Philippine body-politic. It is in this scenario they were able to retain indigenous religion, institutions and rituals. Thus the study was conducted. It covers on the following sites: Mt. Manganlo in Claver, Lake Mainit in Alegria both Surigao Del Norte, Hitaob in Tandag City, Lubcon and Burgus in Cortes and Sibahay in Lanuza of Surigao Del Sur respectively. The study used ethnographic method with strict adherence of the right of pre- informed consent in accordance with RA 8371 or Indigenous Peoples Right Act of 1997. It can be deduced from the paper that despite of socio- cultural changes of the IP’s of Caraga the Mamanwas were able to retain these practices but for how long? Moreover, socio-cultural change is slowly taking place in the Mamanwa social milieu. Preservation of these worldviews is wanting as a part of national heritage and for posterity.

Bucjan Surigaodel Sur State University, Tandag, Philippines ABSTRACT The fear of disappearance of the minority languages such as of the Kamayo language in Surigaodel Sur can be an interesting inquiry. Modern Kamayo of today is now heavily borrowing words and phrases from Bisaya, Filipino and English. This can be a sad reality when the danger of which people celebrate one’s language at the expense of others. The researcher’s eagerness to analyze the language of Kamayo which is in danger of extinction is therefore, deem significant in the preservation of such language; hence, this study is conceptualized. The study aims to analyze the word formation of the Kamayo language using the framework of morphological aspects of the language. The study specifically focuses on describing the word formation process of the Kamayo language in terms of nouns. This is a qualitative type of research which utilized a purposive sampling and conducted an interview in gathering the data. It was found in this study that there were eight-word formation processes in the Kamayo language, namely: blending, borrowing, coinage, clipping, inflection, reduplication, acronym, and compounding. The study further revealed that inflection is the most common word formation process found in the Kamayo language. KEYWORDS: Noun, Kamayo, Language, Word Formation Process Article History Received: 22 Apr 2018 | Revised: 18 Jun 2018 | Accepted: 25 Jun 2018 INTRODUCTION People around the world use varied languages to communicate in order to be understood, others communicate through a common language where linguists use the term lingua franca.

  • The Maintenance and Preservation of the Surigaonon Language In
    THE MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION OF THE SURIGAONON LANGUAGE IN CYBERSPACE Francisco Perlas Dumanig and Maya Khemlani David University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract: The number of speakers of the Suriganon language in the province of Surigao del Norte, Philippines is slowly decreasing due to the intrusion of major languages such as English, Cebuano, and Tagalog (Dumanig, 2006). These languages are used in offi cial domains of communication in schools, church services, and government transactions. In sharp contrast, the Surigaonon language is used only in the home and other informal domains of communication and is frequently used orally, usually when talking with friends and family members. Moreover, the above-mentioned three major languages are commonly used in the written form particularly in printed and online newspapers, and orally heard in news stories on the radio and in church services. Because of their dominance, a number of Surigaonon people read these languages in print and online media. The presence of the three major languages threatens the Surgaonon language. Consequently, a Surigaonon website has been developed in the town of Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte to help in maintaining and preserving the Surigaonon language. The creation of a website where Surigaonon speakers can communicate and interact with each other using their own mother tongue might help the younger generations and other Surigaonons who have migrated to other places in the Philippines and other countries to preserve and maintain the language. It is, therefore, the focus of this study to examine how the Surigaonon language is maintained by means of cyberspace and to explore the benefi ts of creating such a website.
