  • Ethnic and Religious Conflict in Southern Philippines: a Discourse on Self-Determination, Political Autonomy, and Conflict Resolution
    Ethnic and Religious Conflict in Southern Philippines: A Discourse on Self-Determination, Political Autonomy, and Conflict Resolution Jamail A. Kamlian Professor of History at Mindanao State University- ILigan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), ILigan City, Philippines ABSTRACT Filipina kini menghadapi masalah serius terkait populasi mioniritas agama dan etnis. Bangsa Moro yang merupakan salah satu etnis minoritas telah lama berjuang untuk mendapatkan hak untuk self-determination. Perjuangan mereka dilancarkan dalam berbagai bentuk, mulai dari parlemen hingga perjuangan bersenjata dengan tuntutan otonomi politik atau negara Islam teroisah. Pemberontakan etnis ini telah mengakar dalam sejarah panjang penindasan sejak era kolonial. Jika pemberontakan yang kini masih berlangsung itu tidak segera teratasi, keamanan nasional Filipina dapat dipastikan terancam. Tulisan ini memaparkan latar belakang historis dan demografis gerakan pemisahan diri yang dilancarkan Bangsa Moro. Setelah memahami latar belakang konflik, mekanisme resolusi konflik lantas diajukan dalam tulisan ini. Kata-Kata Kunci: Bangsa Moro, latar belakang sejarah, ekonomi politik, resolusi konflik. The Philippines is now seriously confronted with problems related to their ethnic and religious minority populations. The Bangsamoro (Muslim Filipinos) people, one of these minority groups, have been struggling for their right to self-determination. Their struggle has taken several forms ranging from parliamentary to armed struggle with a major demand of a regional political autonomy or separate Islamic State. The Bangsamoro rebellion is a deep- rooted problem with strong historical underpinnings that can be traced as far back as the colonial era. It has persisted up to the present and may continue to persist as well as threaten the national security of the Republic of the Philippines unless appropriate solutions can be put in place and accepted by the various stakeholders of peace and development.

  • 4. Resources, Security and Livelihood
    Violent Conflicts and Displacement in Central Mindanao 4. RESOURCES, SECURITY AND LIVELIHOOD This section examines households’ perceptions of their surrounding environment (e.g. security). It looks at their resources or capital (social, natural, economic) available to households, as well as how those resources were being used to shape livelihood strategies and livelihood outcomes such as food security. The results give insights into the complex interaction between, on the one hand, displacement and settlement options, and, on the other hand, access to basic needs, services and livelihood strategies. Services and Social Relations Access to Services Across the study strata, about one-third of the households ranked their access to services negatively, including access to education (22%), access to (35%) and quality of (32%) health care, and access to roads (37%). Respondents in Maguindanao ranked on average all services more negatively than any other strata. Disaggregated by settlement status, respondents who were displaced at the time of the survey were more likely to rank services negatively compared to others, with the exception of access to roads. Nearly the same percentage of households who were displaced at the time of survey and those returned home found the road to be bad of very bad (47% and 55%, respectively). Figure 11: Ranking of services (% bad - very bad) Two-thirds (67%) of the sampled households had children aged 6-12 years, and among them nearly all had children enrolled in primary school (97%). However, 36 percent of the households reported that their school-enrolled children missed school for at least a week within the 6 months prior to the survey.

BERSALES, Ph.D. National Statistician and Civil Registrar General Copyright © 2012 by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) PSA CVEA Building East Avenue, Diliman Quezon City, Philippines FOREWORD Over the years, the Census of Agriculture and Fisheries (CAF) has been the major source of comprehensive information on agriculture and fishery sectors in the country. The collected census data provide statistical information which can assist decision making for all sectors of society such as governments, businesses, academics, researchers, students, community organizations and individuals. The 2012 CAF was undertaken by the then National Statistics Office (NSO) in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 121, designating the said office as the "major statistical agency responsible for generating general purpose statistics" and Commonwealth Act 591 which authorized the NSO, "to prepare for and undertake all censuses of population, agriculture, industry and commerce". Moreover, EO 352, otherwise known as the Designation of Statistical Activities that will Generate Critical Data for Decision-Making of the Government and the Private Sector, provided for the conduct of census of agriculture every 10 years. Recently, Republic Act (RA) 10625 (Reorganizing and Strengthening the Philippine Statistical System and for Other Purposes) Section 6 stipulates that one function of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is "to prepare and conduct periodic censuses on population, housing, agriculture, fisheries, business, industry and other sectors of the economy". The 2012 CAF was the sixth in a series of decennial agriculture censuses and the fifth in the decennial censuses of fisheries in the country.

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.
