B+WISER was expected to achieve the following results: (a) 5,000,000 hectares (ha) of biologically significant areas under improved NRM; (b) 584,000 ha of such areas showing improved biological- physical conditions; (c) 8,778,278 metric tons (mt) of greenhouse gas emissions reduced, sequestered, and avoided; (d) US$41 million worth of investments mobilized for NRM; (e) 166,000 people trained in sustainable NRM and biodiversity conservation; and (f) 4,400 days of technical assistance provided to DENR and other local NRM stakeholders. USAID Philippines commissioned Pacific Rim Innovation and Management Exponents, Inc. (PRIMEX) to perform the Final Performance Evaluation (FPE) to assess B+WISER results and verify the lessons reported. PRIMEX undertook the FPE in three regions and two project sites from July 23 to December 22, 2018 using as guide the following four key evaluation questions: (a) extent of program performance, (b) efficiency in achieving results, (c) validity of lessons reported, and (d) extent of contributions of B+WISER strategies in achieving the results. PRIMEX gathered data via: (a) desk review of B+WISER documents;

Report No. 3 – Population, Land Area, and Population Density is among the series of publications that present the results of the POPCEN 2015. This publication provides information on the population size, land area, and population density by region, province, highly urbanized city, and city/municipality based on the data from population census conducted by the PSA in the years 2000, 2010, and 2015; and data on land area by city/municipality as of December 2013 that was provided by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Also presented in this report is the percent change in the population density over the three census years. The population density shows the relationship of the population to the size of land where the population resides.

    ADDRESSING ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES Second-largest archipelago in the world comprising 7,641 islands Current population is 100 million, but projected to reach 125 million by 2030; most people, particularly the poor, depend on biodiversity 114 species of amphibians 240 Protected Areas 228 Key Biodiversity Areas 342 species of reptiles, 68% are endemic One of only 17 mega-diverse countries for harboring wildlife species found 4th most important nowhere else in the world country in bird endemism with 695 species More than 52,177 (195 endemic and described species, half 126 restricted range) of which are endemic 5th in the world in terms of total plant species, half of which are endemic Home to 5 of 7 known marine turtle species in the world green, hawksbill, olive ridley, loggerhead, and leatherback turtles ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE The value of Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is estimated at $10 billion–$23 billion per year, making wildlife crime the fourth most lucrative illegal business after narcotics, human trafficking, and arms. The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential

  • Remontado (Hatang-Kayi): a Moribund Language of the Philippines
    Vol. 13 (2019), pp. 1–34 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24796 Revised Version Received: 26 Mar 2018 Notes from the Field: Remontado (Hatang-Kayi): A Moribund Language of the Philippines Jason William Lobel University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Orlando Vertudez Surbano Punong Barangay, Limutan, General Nakar, Philippines Nearly half a century has passed since Philippine educator Teodoro Llamzon dis- covered the Remontado language, which would be introduced to the world in a master’s thesis written by his student Pilar Santos. Although data from the wordlists they collected have been included in subsequent publications by several other authors, no one had revisited the language community, let alone collected any additional data on this highly-endangered language, prior to the current au- thors. This article presents updated information on the language community, the current state of the language, and a revised description of the various grammat- ical subsystems of the language, including its verbal morphology. Also included are over 400 audio recordings illustrating basic aspects of the phonology as well as the various functor sets and verb forms, and a short text for comparison with other similar language sketches. 1. Introduction1 One of the Philippines’ most critically endangered languages is Re- montado (from a Spanish term meaning ‘one who has gone back up into the moun- tains’), also known by the endonym Hatang-Kayi, which means “this language”.2 While its speakers claim that their language was once spoken throughout a consider- able portion of the provinces of Rizal and Quezon northeast of Manila, it has since lost all of its lowland territory, as well as most of the mountainous area to which its speakers later retreated.
