celebrated its silver founding anniversary in 2002. In this connection, various activities were held to highlight the contribution and significance of policy research in governance as well as to commemorate more than two decades of providing competent research. One of these activities is the Perspective Paper Symposium Series where the PIDS research fellows presented a perspective of the development and evolution of issues and concerns over the past 25 years in their respective fields of specialization such as infrastructure, banking and finance, science and technology, human resources development and labor markets, competition policy, poverty analysis and housing development. The 11 papers covered most of the themes in the PIDS research agenda and presented reviews of specific policy issues from where policy debates can proceed with greater focus. Such outputs, however, are best disseminated in book formats so as to widen the reach of the excellent observations, analyses and recommendations put forward by the Institute’s inhouse pool of researchers. Thus, the Institute presents 11 commendable titles under the Perspective Paper Series as its contribution to Philippine policy research. It is with confident expectation that this Series will provide the essential answers

    Transportation history of the Philippines This article describes the various forms of transportation in the Philippines. Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country.

    BOBP/REP/51 THE MUD CRAB A report on the Seminar convened in Surat Thani, Thailand, November 5-8, 1991 BAY OF BENGAL PROGRAMME BOBP/REP/51 Brackishwater Culture GCP/RAS/ I 18/MUL REPORT OF THE SEMINAR ON THE MUD CRAB CULTURE AND TRADE held at Swat Thani, Thailand, November 5-8,1991 Edited: C.A. ANGELL Sr. Aquaculturist BOBP BAY OF BENGAL PROGRAMME, Madras, India 1992 The mud crab, Scylla sp.. found throughout the Indo-Pacific region. has become in- creasingly popular by virtue of its meat quality and large size. While regional trade in the species has been growing. very little attention has been given to the fishery and culture in the Bay of Bengal region. The fishery, culture and trade in Scylla sp. is small-scale and involves artisanal fisherfolk, thus attracting the interest of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). As little is known of the state of the fishery, culture and trade. it was felt that a regional seminar might be an appropriate medium for an exchange of information among BOBP’s member countries. A seminar would also provide an opportunity to update knowledge of the industry. Southern Thailand, particularly the province of Surat Thani. has long been a centre for the capture and culture of the mud crab. With the proximity of the provincial brackishwater station and the opportunity to observe the industry first-hand. the town of Surat Thani promised to be an ideal venue for the seminar. And so. BOBP. in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries (DOCF) of the Government of Thailand, convened the seminar from November 5 to 8.

  • 2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages
    2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages 3 City Planning and Development Office i 2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages Message from the Mayor Our beloved Iloilo City has progressively built on its glorious past to usher in a present, which is a source of pride and hope for our people, and an inspiring benchmark for our neighbors in Western Visayas, and beyond. Yet we are not a people who rest on our laurels. We aim higher. We move further. We scale greater heights. We level up. To level up Iloilo City, we begin with the end in mind. We need to envision a future where our city is livable, sustainable and resilient. We aim for a culturally vibrant and economically well-developed city where governance is a shared responsibility and where people are innovative and creative. We dream big, yet we stay realistic. We know that our collective journey as Ilonggos towards our envisioned future has to factor in developments in our external environment. Prudence likewise dictates that our resolve to level-up needs to consider our strengths and weaknesses as a local government unit and as a community. We need to assess our competencies and our resources, particularly our land and its current and future uses, so we are well-informed in determining the best development strategy to level up Iloilo City. I am, therefore, most pleased that we have already crafted the 2021-2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), which is a product of a series of consultations with various sectors.

The final issue (#7) was published in 2011, while a special issue #8 was commenced in 2014 but never completed.

  • 13. Cold Chain for Fishery Products in Panay Island
    13. COLD CHAIN FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS IN PANAY ISLAND JICA-MARINA The Study on Domestic Shipping Development Plan in the Philippines (DSDP) Final Report 13. COLD CHAIN FOR FISHERY PRODUCTS IN PANAY ISLAND 13.1 Introduction (1) STUDY BACKGROUND The Philippines is by and large an agricultural economy – in particular the island economies of the Visayas and the remote regions of Mindanao. Agricultural commodities are mostly perishable; hence it is important that a fast and cost-effective transport be available so that agricultural economies in the countryside could reach principal markets, in particular Metro Manila. Quality preservation is vital so that perishable commodities retain their market value – thus, the development of cold chain system is thought to be one of the key components to improve the domestic shipping service and industry. It is for this reason that it is selected as the subject of further study as discussed in the Domestic Shipping Development Policies and Strategies. Several corridors have been identified as potential corridors for cold chain development. And as a subject for a pilot study – the Panay to Metro Manila fish corridor was selected. Panay Island is composed of four provinces – Aklan, Antique, Capiz and Iloilo and its geographic center is roughly 300 nautical miles from Metro Manila. Panay Island is the primary fish producer in the Visayas Region and is one of the primary producers of bangus in the country – an important fish in the Filipino diet, which is referred to as the national fish of the Philippines. Figure 13.1.1 Location of Panay Island Metro Manila Aklan Capiz Antique Iloilo Panay In terms of marketing and distribution, two main issues face the Panay bangus industry – first is the difficulty in reaching markets due to insufficient maritime transport and second is the marginal value of its products in primary markets, particularly Metro Manila, where quality deterioration due to transport time makes it uncompetitive.

This study presents in broad strokes a chronicle of infrastructure development in the Philippines in the last twenty-five years. It covers the infrastructure experience across the Marcos regime to the Estrada administration. The main objective of this paper is to flag those gaps and issues for future research, policy analysis and policy formulation.
