    Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines

    Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines Asuncion B. De Guzman, Alita E. Openiano, Marilou M. Ologuin and Jeanette J. Samson Mindanao State University at Naawan, 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Mainit is an important natural resource shared by two provinces in northern Mindanao, Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Norte, notable for being the deepest and the fourth largest lake in the Philippines. This wetland ecosystem supports a thriving freshwater fishery and the livelihood of more than 4,000 fishers. At least 19 types of traditional and ingenious modifications of fishing gears are used. On the average Lake Mainit fishers earn an estimated monthly income of Php4,340 which falls below the poverty threshold for an average family in rural Philippines. Part of a comprehensive resource assessment project in Lake Mainit is a socio- economic profiling and appraisal of the numerous intervention programs in fisheries management and livelihood development introduced into the lakeshore communities in an attempt to improve the ecological and socio-economic situation around the lake. The results of this assessment will provide the scientific basis for formulating a comprehensive fisheries management plan for Lake Mainit that shall, in turn, be integrated into the Lake Mainit Development Alliance (LMDA) development agenda to help restore Lake Mainit fisheries to sustainable levels by addressing issues on declining water quality, regulation of fishing effort, and decreasing fisher income. Keywords: Lake Mainit, socio-economics, management issues, intervention programs, LMDA. INTRODUCTION Lake Mainit is an ecologically important resource within two provincial jurisdictions in the Caraga Region, namely, Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte, bordered by eight municipalities that comprise the Lake Mainit Watershed (Fig.

    Indigenous Religion, Institutions and Rituals of the Mamanwas of Caraga Region, Philippines

    Asian Journal of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Vol. 1, No.1, 2013 INDIGENOUS RELIGION, INSTITUTIONS AND RITUALS OF THE MAMANWAS OF CARAGA REGION, PHILIPPINES Ramel D. Tomaquin College of Arts and Sciences Surigao del Sur State University Tandag City, Philippines Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Mamanwas, one of the IP communities of Caraga region. Said to be one of the original settlers of Caraga and considered the Negrito group of Mindanao. Only very few literatures and studies written about them. Despite of massive acculturation of other IP groups of the region such the Agusan-Surigao Manobos, the Mansaka/Mandaya, Banwaon, Higaanon and Talaandig. The Mamanwas still on the process of integration to Philippine body-politic. It is in this scenario they were able to retain indigenous religion, institutions and rituals. Thus the study was conducted. It covers on the following sites: Mt. Manganlo in Claver, Lake Mainit in Alegria both Surigao Del Norte, Hitaob in Tandag City, Lubcon and Burgus in Cortes and Sibahay in Lanuza of Surigao Del Sur respectively. The study used ethnographic method with strict adherence of the right of pre- informed consent in accordance with RA 8371 or Indigenous Peoples Right Act of 1997. It can be deduced from the paper that despite of socio- cultural changes of the IP’s of Caraga the Mamanwas were able to retain these practices but for how long? Moreover, socio-cultural change is slowly taking place in the Mamanwa social milieu. Preservation of these worldviews is wanting as a part of national heritage and for posterity.

    Dire Rights Situation As Martial Law Continues in Southern Philippines

    International fact-finding mission: Dire rights situation as Martial Law continues in southern Philippines 26 February 2018 (Quezon City, Philippines) – Under continuing Martial Law in the Mindanao island, in southern Philippines, farmers and indigenous peoples have experienced heightened cases of false charges, harassment, and even torture and killings. This is according to personal accounts of farmers, indigenous peoples and delegates of a recent International Solidarity Mission (ISM) who gathered at a forum today. Displacement, torture, killings Janry Mensis, a farmer from Compostela Valley in the Davao region, recounted how he and a minor “Jerry” was beaten, tortured and barely escaped murder by soldiers under the 71st Infantry “Kaibigan” Battalion (IB) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The report of the fact-finding mission also found a grim situation in Compostela Valley: “Several families from Talaingod and other communities in Compostela Valley are evacuating because of hamletting and threats.” “There are around 60 families of Lumads who are now in the Sanctuary area, and still counting. This is due to the massive militarization happening in their ancestral lands prohibiting them to go to their farms,” the report of the ISM added. The report also described how the AFP, with foreign and local big business, “have instigated a brutal war against indigenous people’s communities in the SocSKSargends region, which resulted in the massacre of eight Lumad leaders in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.” Adina Ambag, sister of one of the victims of the December 2017 Lake Sebu massacre,i decried the inaction of the local government and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) during last Monday’s forum.

Several waterbodies have been declared as natural wetlands in the country supporting the needs of community like water and food. In this study, 65 natural wetlands were considered including six sites that were identified as ‘Wetlands of International Importance’ such as Naujan Lake National Park, Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. There are 22 wetland types presented in this research categorizing the Philippine wetlands. Philippine wetlands are now facing tremendous challenges such as land use conversion, abuse of resources, pollution coming from domestic, industrial and agricultural activities, and climate change. This paper provides an overview of Philippine wetlands in terms of their characteristics and components, impacts in the ecosystem, and the challenges they are dealing with.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT LEARNINGS IN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT South Cotabato has a land area of 3,706 square kilometers and a population of 827,200 (2010 Census) The province is part of one of the country’s fastest development clusters known as SOCCSKSARGEN officially designated as Region XII which consists of 4 provinces: South Cotabato, Cotabato Province, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani together with 3 component cities: Koronadal City of South Cotabato, Tacurong City of Sultan Kudarat and Kidapawan City of Cotabato province, 2 independent cities/chartered cities: General Santos City and Cotabato City. SoCCSKSarGen Cluster 2 Blessed with almost even dry and rainy seasons (typhoon free) and fertile soil, picturesque landscapes, and very unique tri- people cultures which have been nurtured and preserved through generations we are greatly challenged with the negative peace and order perception of South-Central Mindanao that made our very own Filipino tourists shy away from including us as a tourist destination. 3 Great advantage – cultural endowments, which can be positioned to make us a premier tourist destination. It is our “sunshine” industry - Tourism will give us a greater economic stability, fund our environmental rehabilitation and protection programs, and provide us stimuli or incentives for our tenured migrants to sustain our conservation efforts.

Magbanua2 1Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology; 2Institute of Biology University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines 3Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science; and Research Center for the Natural and Applied Sciences and the Graduate School University of Santo Tomas, Manila 1015 Philippines Relatively limited information exists on Lake Wood’s limnology and ecology, an ancestral lake of the Subanens. Here, we provide a limnological characterization of the lake – exploring its physical, chemical, and biological features. The data on lake morphometry were gathered using an echosounder; lower depth water samples were collected using a Niskin water sampler for physicochemical analyses while surface water samples were collected at five sampling sites for phosphate (PO4) analysis; and zooplankton samples were collected at several depths through vertical towing in March–April 2019. Lake Wood, located at 320 m above sea level, has an extensive surface area covering 7.38 km2 with a maximum depth of 85 m. Lake water comes from rainfall, small rivers, and groundwater and empties into the Dumanquilas Bay via its only outlet – the Biswangan River. Land use of the lake is predominantly cultivated land. Moreover, based on the trophic state index (TSI), the lake’s current trophic status is eutrophic. During the study periods, thermocline and oxycline formed at 15 m below the surface of the lake.

    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.

However, a new population was identified in Lake Napalit in the same province. A better understanding of the genetic diversity of both Rufi populations using molecular methods may be beneficial to further ascertain its usefulness in rice breeding and in the development of effective conservation strategies. Population genetic analysis was conducted to estimate the degree of genetic diversity and population structure of the two Philippine Rufi populations using 98 genome-wide simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Four Oryza sativa indica and three O. sativa japonica cultivars were added for comparison. Results indicate that both Rufi populations exhibit low genetic diversity but with significant population structure and differentiation. Low genetic diversity suggests that both populations might be in a genetic bottleneck, perhaps due to observed unsustainable farming practices near their habitat and lack of awareness among locals of their importance. Also, geographical isolation that prevented gene flow between the two populations, as well as the unique climatic conditions between the two lakes might have contributed to the significant population structuring and differentiation.
