Pandin Lake Development and Management Plan PANDIN LAKE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN Volume 1 PANDIN LAKE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN PREFACE This Pandin Lake Development and Management Plan (DMP) is a result of collaborative endeavour among Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), the City Government of San Pablo, and the various stakeholders of Pandin Lake including fishers, landowners, barangay officials, women’s group, youth, non-government organizations, academe, and other government agencies. At present, the Seven Crater Lakes of San Pablo City are swarmed with issues and problems which include but not limited to the following: conflicting interests of stakeholders such as the non-implementation of appropriate zoning plan for fish cages and fishpens; presence of informal settlers along lakes’ shoreline; decreasing lake productivity due to pollution loading; and policy and institutional disputes. In an attempt to address these multi-faceted problems, the LLDA instigated the drafting of a Framework for the Formulation of Development and Management Plan (DMP) for the Seven Crater Lakes. This initiative was undertaken in recognition of the need to mobilize all sectors and stakeholders of the Seven Crater Lakes for a sustained and concerted effort at conserving, protecting and restoring these lakes and the vital resources and amenities that they produce and provide to the people in general. The Framework for the Formulation of Development and Management Plan for the Seven Crater Lakes was approved by the LLDA Board of Directors via Board Resolution No. 464 on 02 April 2014. The main objective of the Framework is to come up with individual Development and Management Plan for each of the Seven Crater Lakes through the involvement of all the concerned stakeholder groups in the process of formulating the DMP based on the perceived problems that they actually confront and experience every day. On the basis of the present state and condition of these lakes, they would be able to conduct situational assessment wherein Vision will eventually be formulated, Strategies will be developed, and the corresponding Activities will be identified for future implementation. The initial implementation of the Framework with Pandin Lake as the pilot area is substantiated by the fact that Pandin Lake is now greatly being used for eco-tourism. Thousands of tourists every year flock in the area for the simple enjoyment of the natural and tranquil landscape that Pandin Lake offers to visitors. However, everything that is taking place in Pandin Lake is arbitrary such that no ‘plan’ is being followed, policy and guidelines are non-existent, and no formal organization are recognized and authorized to operate eco- tourism-related activities. This arbitrary situation is not only unsustainable but will put Pandin Lake and its natural environment into risk of being exploited and destroyed in due course. This Pandin Lake DMP is therefore formulated to give ‘direction’ to the present set-up wherein decision-making and actions are still randomly being executed. The planning process undertaken for the formulation of the DMP was to incorporate the diverse perspectives of stakeholders that have influence on the implementation of the strategies that were identified during the actual planning exercise. As defined in the Framework, the following activities led in the formulation of development and management plan specific for Pandin Lake: 1. Coordination with key institutions that will play major roles in the planning and implementation of the PLDMP; 2. Stakeholder mapping and analysis; 3. Situation assessment to gain understanding of the current and future conditions in the lake and to identify and prioritize issues; 4. Formulation of vision, goals and objectives by spelling out the desired state of the lake over the long term; ii | P a g e PANDIN LAKE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN 5. Developing strategies by specifying menu of strategic objectives and outcomes related to the use, protection, management and institutional arrangement for achieving the vision; 6. Defining the actions that will give effect to the basin strategies and ultimately achieve the vision, goals and objectives; 7. Conduct of policy review; 8. Identification of funding mechanism; 9. Development of institutional arrangements; 10. Formulation of development and management plan; and 11. Monitoring and evaluation. The step-by-step activities that the stakeholders have gone through in the formulation of Pandin Lake DMP gave not only structure to the present set-up but also provided guidelines on how the resources of Pandin Lake will be used and managed in a sustainable manner. The PLDMP should be considered as a living document or a work in progress where changes and improvements can be incorporated and integrated towards a full and powerful document. iii | P a g e PANDIN LAKE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) would like to thank the following for their invaluable contributions in the formulation of Pandin Lake Development and Management Plan: The City Government of San Pablo for the unwavering support through active participation of the City History, Arts, Culture, and Tourism Office (CHATO), City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), Sangguniang Panglunsod, and Mayor’s Office in all workshops and consultative meetings, and for providing needed data and information for the completion of the plan; As main stakeholders of Pandin Lake, the members of Pandin Lakewide Fishery and Aquatic Resources Management Council (FARMC), Samahan ng mga Kababaihang Mangingisda at Bangkera sa Lawa ng Pandin (SKBMLP), private landowners and the Barangay Council of Barangay Sto.

    Proceedings of the Workshop/Discussions on INTEGRATED MANILA BAY/LAGUNA LAKE SYSTEM AND SURROUNDING WATERSHEDS Sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science In Cooperation with Tokyo Institute of Technology University of the Philippines De La Salle University Held in November 23-24, 2000 at Hotel Rembrandt, Quezon City i CONFERENCE/DISCUSSIONS ON MANILA BAY/LAGUNA LAKE Foreword This conference was sponsored by Water and Environmental Group of the Core University Program (1999-2009) of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in coordination with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). The Core University Program provides technical and cultural exchange between science and engineering faculty of the Philippines and Japan. The lead universities in this Program are Tokyo Institute of Technology and the University of the Philippines. Early in this program, the Water and Environmental Group has agreed that a promising collaborative research effort that is comprehensive, integrative and multi- disciplinary in nature would be to study Manila Bay and Laguna Lake including its tributary rivers. The Manila Bay/Laguna Lake system is important since it is in the vicinity of Metro Manila, which is the most economically, politically and demographically active area in the Philippines. For a complex and multipurpose water resource system such as the Manila Bay/Laguna Lake system, the concern of the Group is mainly on the investigation of various technical and environmental issues and concerns of the system although it is recognized that there are important economic and political dimensions that need to be considered. As a first step towards this goal, the Water and Environmental Group decided that a conference/discussions of the state of Manila Bay/Laguna Lake system would be a first, logical activity to gather people of various expertise, experience, stakes and interests in this system.

  • Biographical Narrative
    BIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVE Clarence M. Batan, PhD, is a Filipino sociologist whose academic training, research works, teaching experience, and community-based advocacies reflect wide-ranging yet focused interests. Such interests are on (a) disadvantaged children and youth (Filipinos and Global South counterparts) specifically along the realms of education-employment nexus; (b) the demands and challenges of teaching Sociology as a social science, profession, and as way of life; and (c) the translation of social research into creative forms for discussion, and policy/program development. Clarence who is better known as “Yayet” among his family and colleagues, is a Professor of Sociology at the Faculty of Arts and Letters, a former director of the Research Center on Culture, Education, and Social Issues (RCCESI), now known as the Research Center for Social Sciences and Education (RCSSED) at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) (Manila, Philippines). In his earlier years as a student of sociology, Clarence was first exposed to the grounded and problematic realities of growing-up and transitional issues of Filipino children and youth through his trainings at University of Santo Tomas (AB Sociology, 1995) and the University of the Philippines (MA Sociology, 1999). These found interests of Clarence are reflected in his almost 25 years of ethnographic research within the fishing barangays of Talim Island and Binangonan, Rizal which since 2005 has expanded to include selected barangays in Manila, and two distinct locales in the province of Laguna namely,

Such assessments can contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of natural history museums in the Philippines, as well as biodiversity management. This review showed that local museums in the Philippines have much to improve in terms of their accessibility and geographic coverage in order to effectively cater to research and conservation needs of the country. Online access to databases was lacking for local museums, making it cumbersome to retrieve collection information. The UST museum held the most species and subspecies across all museums (4899), comparable to the national museums of countries such as the USA and France. In terms of size, there were larger Philippine mollusk collections in museums abroad. Majority of mollusk specimens come from Regions 4 and 7, while the CAR and Region 12 were least sampled. Publications on Philippine mollusks are dominated by taxonomic and biodiversity research.

  • Aeromonas Veronii and Plesiomonas Shigelloides (Gammaproteobacteria) Isolated from Glossogobius Aureus (Gobiidae) in Lake Sampaloc, Laguna, Philippines
    SHORT COMMUNICATION | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology DOI 10.26757/pjsb2020a14009 Aeromonas veronii and Plesiomonas shigelloides (Gammaproteobacteria) isolated from Glossogobius aureus (Gobiidae) in Lake Sampaloc, Laguna, Philippines Janelle Laura J. Gacad1, * and Jonathan Carlo A. Briones1, 2, 3, Abstract Bacterial infections are high-risk factors in fisheries, with reports of high mortality among diseased fish stocks posing a threat to both capture and aquaculture fisheries in inland waters. Diseases-causing bacteria in fishes may lead to decreased yield and economic loss to fishers, whose livelihood primarily depends on landed catch. Lake fisheries are most affected by such disruptive changes because of limitations in water turnover aggravated by wastewater inputs. In this study, we isolated and characterized gut bacteria from landed catch of the gobiid Glossogobius aureus from Lake Sampaloc, a small but commercially important aquaculture area in Luzon. Isolated axenic gut bacteria were identified through Gram stain reaction, microscopy, API biochemical tests, and 16s rRNA gene sequencing. From these, we identified two species with known fish pathogenicity, namely Aeromonas veronii and Plesiomonas shigelloides which are known to thrive in disrupted and nutrient-rich habitats and cause visible damage to fish health. Interestingly, our samples have shown no such visible signs of the disease. It is therefore important for future researches to determine what conservation and management practices in small inland waters like lakes will limit potential environmental stressors that may trigger susceptibility of both capture and farmed fish species to infection. Ultimately, rehabilitation of inland water aquaculture areas such as Lake Sampaloc is essential not only to fish conservation but also to public health and local food security.
