    Seaweed-Associated Fishes of Lagonoy Gulf in Bicol, the Philippines -With Emphasis on Siganids (Teleoptei: Siganidae)

Soliman1*, Antonino B. Mendoza, Jr.1 and Kosaku Yamaoka2 1 Coastal Resouces management Unit, Bicol University Tabaco Campus, (Tabaco, Albay 4511, Philippines) 2 Graduate School of Kuroshio Science, Kochi University (Monobe, Nankoku, Kochi 783-8502, Japan) Abstract Lagonoy Gulf is a major fishing ground in the Philippines. It is large (3071 km2) and deep (80% of its area is 800-1200 m) where channels opening to the Pacific Ocean are entrenched. Its annual fishery production of 26,000 MT in 1994 slightly decreased to 20,000 MT in 2004. During the same 10-year period, catches of higher order, predatory fishes decreased and were replaced by herbivores and planktivores. Scombrids such as tunas and mackerels composed 51-54% of total harvest. Of the 480 fish species identified in the gulf, 131 or 27% are seaweed-associated or these fishes have utilized the seaweed habitat for juvenile settlement, refuge, breeding and feeding sites. The seaweeds occupy solely distinct beds (e.g., Sargassum) or overlap with seagrass and coral reef areas. About half of all fishes (49.6% or 238 species) are coral reef fishes. The most speciose fish genera are Chaetodon (19 spp.), Lutjanus (18 spp.), Pomacentrus (17 spp.) and Siganus (14 spp.). Among them, Siganus (Siganids or rabbitfishes) is the most speciose, commercially-important genus contributing 560 mt-yr-1 to the total fishery production, including about 60 mt siganid juvenile catch.

Breakout teams of delegates will be taken along an action-packed journey that consists of: Ligñon Hill - A place for hiking, climbing, zip line, rappelling, hanging bridge walking, Japanese tunneling and lava watching. It offers a 360-degree view of the Mayon Volcano and excellent views of the city, especially at night. Visitors are encouraged to walk from the foot to the top of the hill – but do wear comfortable shoes.

    Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S

    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

    Sense of Place of Polangui, Albay, Philippines: Identification of Its Significant Cultural Properties

    BU R&D Journal 24 (1): 44-53, July 2021 | ISSN (Print): 0016-4139 journal.bicol-u.edu.ph | ISSN (Online): 2719-082X doi: 10.47789/burdj.mbtcbbgs.20212401.01 Sense of Place of Polangui, Albay, Philippines: Identification of Its Significant Cultural Properties Janet Ibarreta - Triunfante Bicol University Publication and Knowledge Management Division, Legazpi City, Philippines Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Cultural heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation. This includes customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values. It plays an essential role in society, and knowing its importance gives the people connection to the past, present and future generations, and its function in building a strong nation and its identity. The aim of this research is to record and profile the cultural properties adopting the cultural mapping framework utilized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). It mainly focuses on mapping the tangible and intangible cultural heritage that provide the “sense of place” and identity of Polangui, Albay which are significantly valuable through generations. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) framework for classifying the significant cultural properties found in the community was used in determining the cultural significance of a property, namely: Historical, Aesthetic, Scientific/Technical, and Social and/or Spiritual values. This study revealed that the municipality of Polangui has several cultural assets, and that should be given the highest order of protection, promotion and preservation by the local government unit. People have created their own amalgam of culture.
