  • Republic of the Philippines Province of Isabela MILAGROS ALBANO DISTRICT HOSPITAL Ngarag, Cabagan, Isabela Telefax No
    Republic of the Philippines Province of Isabela MILAGROS ALBANO DISTRICT HOSPITAL Ngarag, Cabagan, Isabela Telefax No. (078)-325-2069/323-2815 PHILHEALTH ACCREDITED ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JULY 2019 A. Brief Background The Milagros Albano District Hospital, Cabagan, Isabela (formerly the Northern Isabela Emergency Hospital – NIEH) was established in 1961 under the Hospital Financing Act of 1939. The hospital was then housed at the Cabagan Dispensary (now RHU). As there was a need to expand the hospital services and facilities when people from other neighboring towns come for consultation and admission, hence, a 25 bed capacity hospital building was constructed on a 1.1 hectares donated land located along the Maharlika Highway. (Note: Adjacent land was purchased, present lot area 13,157 sq. meters) In 1974, the hospital was converted into a 50 Bed Capacity General Hospital under R.A. 6566. In compliance to the Local Government Code, in 1993, the hospital was devolved to the Provincial Government of Isabela. A new hospital building was constructed along side of the old building and was inaugurated and became operational on December 8, 2004. To date, Milagros Albano District Hospital, located at Brgy. Ngarag, Cabagan, Isabela, along the Maharlika Highway, is a Level I hospital as granted by the DOH Licensing Department and Center of Safety by Philhealth Accreditation. As a Level I hospital with an authorized 50 – bed capacity, it is the referral hospital for the Isabela North ILHZ which is comprised of the municipalities of Cabagan, San Pablo, Tumauini, Sta. Maria, Delfin Albano, the coastal towns of Maconacon and Divilacan, and Sto.

  • Research Note
    Ecosystems & Development Journal 4(2): 54-64 April 2014 ISSN 2012-3612 RESEARCH NOTE Communities’ Perception of a Proposed Mine-Mouth Coal-Fired Power Plant Project in Benito Soliven, Isabela, Philippines Dhino Gegesa, Jennifer Marie Amparo.a, Carla Edith Jimenaa, Maria Emilinda Mendozaa, Emilia Viscoa, Mary Jane Comiab, Jo Anne Franciscob, and Jill Maynelle Rutorb ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the communities’ perception of the proposed mine-mouth coal-fired power plant project in the two barangays of Dagupan and Villaluz, in Benito Soliven, Isabela, Philippines. Focus group discussions and key informant interviews were used to gather data from local leaders and representatives from different sectors of the two communities. Participants were asked to answer a questionnaire to determine their socio-demographic characteristics, awareness and perception of the proposed project. Results showed general awareness among the respondents about the coal-fired power plant project, with only 12% of respondents from Dagupan and 9% from Villaluz claiming unawareness. That most respondents were aware of the project can be attributed to the information, education, and communication (IEC) campaign done by the Philippine National Oil Company-Exploration Commission (PNOC-EC). However, majority of respondents (53%) in Dagupan and close to half (44%) in Villaluz perceived that the project will have a negative effect on agriculture in the area. Other sectors that are seen to be negatively affected in both barangays included livelihood/economic at 41% and 40% respectively for Villaluz and Dagupan, social interactions at 44% and 36%, environmental at 47% and 31%, and resettlement at 41% and 36%. Project proponents have to dispel these negative perceptions to fully implement the project.

  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

    CEPF FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT I. BASIC DATA Organization Legal Name: Cagayan Valley Partners in People Development Project Title (as stated in the grant agreement): Design and Management of the Northeastern Cagayan Conservation Corridor Implementation Partners for this Project: Project Dates (as stated in the grant agreement): December 1, 2004 – June 30, 2007 Date of Report (month/year): August 2007 II. OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. Civil society -non-government organizations and people’s organizations, together with the academe and the church- have long been in the forefront of environmental protection in the Cagayan Valley region since the 1990s. They were and still are very active in the multi-sectoral forest protection committee and community-based forest resource management (CBFM) activities. A shift towards a conservation orientation came as a natural consequence of the Rio Summit and in view of the observation that biodiversity conservation was a neglected component of CBFM. Aside from this, there began to be implemented in region 02 biodiversity conservation projects under the CPPAP- GEF, Dutch assisted conservation and development project all in Isabela and the German assisted CBFM and Conservation project in the province of Quirino. Alongside with this was the push for the corridor approach. The CEPF assisted project is a conservation initiative that has come just at the right time when there was an upswing of interest in Cagayan in biodiversity conservation and environment protection. It came as a conservation felt need for the province of Cagayan in view of the successful pro-active actions in the neighboring province of Isabela which led to the establishment of the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park.

  • Call for Proposals from Ngos
    Call for Proposals from NGOs/CSOs CFP-009-PHL-2021 Implementing Partner for the UNDP’s Resilient Livelihood Restoration and Recovery Project for the Typhoon Vamco/Ulysses - Province of Cagayan INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS I. BACKGROUND UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations. This Call for Proposals (CFP) is specifically related to the Resilient Livelihood Restoration and Recovery Project in Cagayan Province. II. OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS/DELIVERABLES Typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) wreaked havoc across Luzon on 11-12 November 2020 with more than three million people from 5,594 barangays in eight regions affected, with 283,656 people seeking refuge in 2,205 evacuation centres while 158,926 people are in home-based setting. The already swollen Cagayan River in northern Luzon rose quickly, inundating low-lying communities when authorities released water from Magat Dam, one of the largest in the country, to prevent the dam from reaching its critical spilling level. At least 1.1 million people were affected by the flooding in the two provinces of Isabela and Cagayan including Tuguegarao City, which local authorities said were the worst in the region in four decades. The UNDP, working with the provincial government and the affected LGUs on livelihood restoration and recovery, shall provide support in addressing the immediate, medium, and long-term interventions towards economic resiliency through the Typhoon Vamco/Ulysses Resilient Livelihood Restoration and Recovery Project for Cagayan Province.

  • Surveys of Wetlands and Waterbirds in Cagayan Valley, Luzon, Philippines
    FORKTAIL 20 (2004): 33–39 Surveys of wetlands and waterbirds in Cagayan valley, Luzon, Philippines MERLIJN VAN WEERD and JAN VAN DER PLOEG In November 2001 and January 2002, we searched the entire Cagayan valley, north-east Luzon, Philippines for wetlands and congre- gations of waterbirds. Five wetlands were identified that held substantial numbers of waterbirds. Important numbers of the endemic Philippine Duck Anas luzonica (Vulnerable) were observed at two lakes, as well as large numbers of Wandering Whistling-duck Dendrocygna arcuata, Northern Shoveler Anas clypeata and Great Egret Casmerodius albus. Other records included the first Philippine record of Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea, the second Philippine record of Dunlin Calidris alpina, and the first record of Chinese Egret Egretta eulophotes (Vulnerable) on the mainland of northern Luzon. The absence of Sarus Crane Grus antigone and Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis suggests that these species are now indeed extirpated in the Philippines. Two wetland areas, Lake Magat and Malasi lakes, qualify as wetlands of international importance under the criteria of the Ramsar convention on the basis of the count results presented here. Currently, none of the wetlands of Cagayan valley is officially protected by the Philippine government. INTRODUCTION reef-flats that are important as a staging area for migra- tory shorebirds (Haribon Foundation 1989). Five Wetlands are among the most threatened ecosystems of locations containing significant numbers of waterbirds the Philippines, mainly as a result of drainage and were identified: Cagayan river delta, Buguey wetlands, reclamation (DENR and UNEP 1997).
