The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), through its Regional Statistical Services Offices (RSSOs) in its commitment to widely disseminate information produced by the Philippine Statistical System, continues to update and publish local level statistics designed to address the varied statistical needs of planners and policy makers at the local level. The RSET, a compendium of local level statistics, presents annual time series data on various sectors of the region and its component provinces, cities, and municipalities. It also contains data that are disaggregated in different dimensions and includes a glossary of terms of official concepts and definitions for statistical purposes. We gratefully acknowledge the valuable contributions of our various data sources without which the publication of the RSET would not have been made possible. We likewise appreciate the support of our clients who continue to patronize and recognize this publication as an important tool for evidence-based decision making. We reiterate our call on our partner agencies to continue our collaboration towards the empowerment of the countryside by making statistics more available and accessible to users. To continue improving our statistical products and services, we enjoin both our data sources and users to share their comments and suggestions to guide us in improving future editions of the RSET and other publications of the PSA.

    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.

Changes to the scientific program will be published on an addendum that will be posted on messages board. 2 In line with this year’s theme, the logo symbolizes the strategic cooperation between the scientific community and the different facets of the local institutions and the government to achieve wholesome and sustainable seas. The lower half signifies the ocean while the upper half shows the diversity of marine life and its interconnectivity with food security and environmental resilience. The halves meet at the center forming a handshake embodying the common understanding of the local communities, government, academe, private sector, NGOs, and especially the Filipino masses on the protection, management, and holistic conservation of the oceans. Lastly, the hues used also represent the colors of the sea at the break of dawn, signifying a new chapter for a more hopeful, science-based, and community- oriented future of the Philippine seas.

    Management Report for Bumphead Parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) Status Review under the Endangered Species Act: Existing Regulatory Mechanisms (per Endangered Species Act § 4(a)(1)(D), 16 U.S.C. § 1533(a)(1)(D)) and Conservation Efforts (per Endangered Species Act § 4(b)(1)(A), 16 U.S.C. § 1533(b)(1)(A)) September 2012 Bumphead parrotfish for sale in market, Aceh, Indonesia (photo provided by Crispen Wilson) Pacific Islands Regional Office National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Department of Commerce Executive Summary Introduction On January 4, 2010, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received a petition from WildEarth Guardians to list bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) as either threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In response, NMFS issued a 90-day finding (75 Fed. Reg.16713 (Apr. 2, 2010)), wherein the petition was determined to contain substantial information indicating that listing the species may be warranted. Thus, NMFS initiated a comprehensive status review of bumphead parrotfish, which was completed jointly by our Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) and Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO). PIFSC established a Bumphead Parrotfish Biological Review Team (BRT) to complete a biological report on the status of the species and threats to the species (hereafter “BRT Report”, cited as Kobayashi et al. 2011). PIRO staff completed this report on management activities affecting the species across its range, including existing regulatory mechanisms and non- regulatory conservation efforts (hereafter “Management Report”). The BRT Report and Management Report together constitute the comprehensive bumphead parrotfish status review. The process for determining whether a species should be listed as threatened or endangered is based upon the best scientific and commercial data available and is described in sections 4(a)(1) and 4(b)(1)(A) of the ESA (16 U.S.C.

    24. DEMONSTRATION AND APPLICATION OF PRODUCTION AND UTILIZATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR RATTAN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ASEAN MEMBER COUNTRIES Aida B. Lapis and Kharina G. Bueser This paper presents the initial output of the ITTO-funded project PD 334/05 Rev. 2(I) entitled ‘Demonstration and Application of Production and Utilization Technologies for Rattan Sustainable Development in the ASEAN Member Countries’. The project aims to strengthen ASEAN collaboration to reduce poverty at the community level through a network that supports and prioritizes the urgent needs and concerns for the development of the rattan industry. The project addresses the prioritized needs and concerns raised during the 2004 Regional Conference of Rattan in Asia that will generate necessary information on the impacts of rattan production and utilization technologies (particularly at the community level), conduct studies on various aspects of rattan development, conduct training to upgrade skills of various stakeholders, and establish an information network on rattan in the ASEAN region. This project includes demonstration and application of production and utilization technologies, capacity building, and research and information dissemination through the ASEAN Rattan Centre. This paper summarizes the activities conducted during the first year of the project which include: (a) regular and special project meetings; (b) preparation and distribution of the training modules and technology guides; (c) training programs on rattan production and utilization technologies;
