Summary: With the increasing demand for water and its alarming degradation, there is a need for forging partnership among government agencies, civil society organizations, private institutions and other stakehoders. Recognizing this need, the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) together with other agencies formed a Technical Working Group (TWG) for the First National Congress on Philippine Lakes. The Congress served as a venue for a nationwide planning system. The three major themes discussed during the workshops were: 1) Science of Lakes; 2) Management and Policy Issues; and 3) Lessons Learned and Doing Something About It. The Congess was also able to come-up with "Philippine Lake Vision" and "The Tagaytay Declaration on Philippine Lakes". 12.

Sespeñe†・Marla Maniquiz-Redillas・김이형・추연욱 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Kongju National University Cheonan City, Korea (Received : 22 June 2016, Revised: 02 August 2016, Accepted: 02 August 2016) Abstract The Philippines is a naturally water-rich archipelago capable of sustaining its ecological goods and providing services and needs of its people. 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.

  • Limnology of Lake Wood: an Ancestral Lake of the Subanen Tribe
    Philippine Journal of Science 150 (5): 1231-1243, October 2021 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 14 Dec 2020 Limnology of Lake Wood: An Ancestral Lake of the Subanen Tribe Marjohn Y. Baludo1*, Rey Donne S. Papa3, and Francis S. 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.

  • Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
    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.

  • Ecotourism Policy Options for the White Water Rafting in Cagayan De Oro River, Philippines: a Multi-Criteria Analysis
    3rd International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP3) June 28-30, 2017 – Singapore T02P17/Policy Tools for Environment and Social Policies Session 2 Policy Tools in Social Policy Ecotourism Policy Options for the White Water Rafting in Cagayan De Oro River, Philippines: A Multi-Criteria Analysis Author Catherine Roween C. Almaden Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan Philippines [email protected] Friday, June 30th 08:15 to 10:15 (Manasseh Meyer MM 3 - 4 (38)) Abstract The primary goal of this research paper is to determine the policy options on the basis of a multiple criteria analysis related to the regulation of the Cagayan de Oro River White Water Rafting Ecotourism in the Philippines. This study applied the Delphi Method in examining the policy alternatives capable of addressing the challenges of attaining sustainable ecotourism. More specifically, this research determined the criteria necessary for ecotourism policy evaluation. The evaluation of criteria for regulation of the Cagayan de Oro River White Water Rafting Ecotourism may lead to the formulation of better management strategies to protect natural and cultural resources and fulfill broader social objectives. Given the current challenges in attaining in sustainable ecotourism, reflected by sanitation problems, absence of amenities and poor infrastructure, analysis of policy options will improve decision-making and provide sustained revenues for management of the white water river rafting ecotourism sector. Policy options are reviewed as they apply to the Cagayan de Oro River White Water Rafting. Key results suggest the application of combination of policy options such as entrance fees for tourists and permits for operators are most preferred.

  • Estimation of the Recreational Value of Tourist Destinations in Camotes Islands Using Travel Cost Method
    Review of Socio-Economic Research and Development Studies 2019 Volume 3 No. 1, 19-37 ESTIMATION OF THE RECREATIONAL VALUE OF TOURIST DESTINATIONS IN CAMOTES ISLANDS USING TRAVEL COST METHOD Nymphmary Daphne J. Santiago1 and Ma. Salome B. Bulayog2 1 Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) - Central Office, Diliman, Quezon City Metro Manila,, Philippines 2 Department of Economics (DOE), Visayas State University, Visca, Baybay City, Leyte. Determining the recreational value of tourist destinations is important because natural resources provide services that possess non-market values. They are considered as public goods, whereby society tends to overexploit and overconsume. In this regard, the valuation of four selected tourist destinations in Camotes Islands, Cebu, Philippines was determined. This study specifically aims to (1) estimate the demand function and consumer surplus of tourists, (2) determine the factors affecting the number of visits of tourists in every destination, (3) determine the tourists’ willingness to pay for entrance fee for each destination and (4) provide policy implications for local policy-makers and resource managers. On-site surveys were conducted to gather primary data. A total of 125 respondents were interviewed after selection through consecutive sampling. Using pseudo Poisson maximum likelihood estimator, results reveal that the recreational value of Buho Rock Resort, Lake Danao Park, Santiago Bay White Beach and Bukilat Cave in a year is PhP 617,468,921.00; PhP 199, 094,291.80; PhP 113, 304, 987.20 and PhP 408,021,345.90, respectively. These values can be considered as high recreational values implying the relevance of preserving and protecting these sites from overexploitation.

  • Three Essays on Meta-Analysis, Benefit Transfer, and Recreation Use Valuation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Arvin B. Vista for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Resources presented on June 10, 2010. Title: Three Essays on Meta-Analysis, Benefit Transfer, and Recreation Use Valuation. Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Randall S. Rosenberger This dissertation consists of three essays on meta-analysis, benefit transfer and recreation use valuation. The first two essays were based on the sportsfishing valuation literature in the US and Canada while the third essay was based on a study site in the Philippines and selected study sites from the US. The first essay evaluates the aggregation structure of primary research studies and its implications for benefit transfer using meta-regression analysis. Results indicate that single-site and regional studies should not be pooled without accounting for their differences in a meta- analysis. The second essay examines the implications of addressing dependency in the sportsfishing valuation literature using meta-regression analysis. Results indicate that median absolute percentage transfer error is lower for the meta-regression models based on a single value, i.e. average-set and best-set metadata than the meta-regression models based on all-set. The average-set and best-set are two treatments of the metadata for avoiding dependency. The third essay applies the methodological treatments learned from the first two essays to estimate the recreational value via benefit transfer of Taal Volcano Protected Landscape
