Immediately after the earthquake, UNDP joined the multi-sectoral assessment which looked into the most urgent needs of the affected population. As the co-lead of the Early Recovery (ER) Cluster, UNDP zeroed in on the specific ER needs of the communities and formulated project interventions which could facilitate their early recovery and help establish the foundations for long-term development. With funding assistance of USD 800,000 from the Government of Japan, the project “Debris Management and Livelihood Support for areas affected by the Bohol Earthquake,” or the Bohol Early Recovery Project, was designed to benefit the ten (10) hardest hit municipalities in southwestern Bohol namely, Maribojoc, Antequera, Loon, Calape, Tubigon, Clarin, Inabanga, Sagbayan, Catigbian, and San Isidro. The project later expanded to include the nearby municipality of Carmen (component 1 only) upon the request of its municipal government for assistance in addressing the effects of the earthquake.

  • Investigations Into the Elemental Composition of Earthenware Vessels from the Guthe Collection Using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis
    Investigations into the Elemental Composition of Earthenware Vessels from the Guthe Collection using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis ALICE YAO introduction: local earthenware vessels of the central visayans Important to the growth of chiefdom polities in the Philippines is the expansion of internal trade between coastal and inland groups ( Bacus 1990 : 349–350; Junker 1999 : 262). Ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence indicate that earthenware pottery manufactured by lowland coastal potters was one of the primary products traditionally exchanged between coastal and inland groups. While the increasing value placed on import ceramics (porcelain and celadon) and their role in the political economy has been well documented, local dimensions of production and internal trade are also important to an understanding of the political economy. Specifically, the organization of local pottery production may have changed to accommodate the development and consolidation of alliances between coastal and interior groups, as Junker (1999) discovered in the Tanjay chiefdom (264). During the height of Tanjay’s power, which spanned the early to mid second millennium ad, growing status stratifi- cation between elites spurred an expansion in regional earthenware exchange ( Jun ker 1999 : 290 –291). Earthenware were not only functional domestic vessels but also fa- cilitated feasts and public gatherings held by chiefs. Control over the manufacture and distribution of these wares was thus economically important to the creation of polit- ical alliances and subjects. The identification of compositional groups within local earthenware assem blages presents a potential means to the evaluation of exchange and production systems. Junker’s (1990) study of temper and morphology of earthenware represented a seminal approach to the detection of local versus non-local ware.
