ENVIRONMENT SITUATION Ifugaoland is one of the most isolated regions in the Philippines. It is situated on the eastern side of' the Cordillera Central, which, beginning at the northwestern coast, runs south almost to a latitude marking the middle of Luzon Island. The area is about seven hundred and fifty square miles, but, owing to the mountainous character of the country, the actual surface is probably one and three-quarter times as great. The longitude of Ifugaoland is 1200 52' to 1210 33' East, the latitude 16° 20' to 160 58' North. From the crest of the Cordillera Central on the west, where it is bounded by the sub- provinces of Benguet, Bontoc, and Lepanto, regions inhabited by others of the non-Christian tribes, it extends to the Magat on the east, being there bounded by Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya, regions inhabited by tribes who-se Christianization and submission were accomplished during the first of the last century. These two provinces had an estimated population, respectively, of 98,748 and 34,665 in 1916. From Manila, one reaches the habitat of the Ifugao as follows: one day by train to San Fernando, Union, one day by carromata, a kind of covered cart drawn by ponies, to Tagudin, thence by trail to Cervantes (two days), to Bontoc (one or two days), to Benaue in 1922] Barton: Ifugao Economics 387 Ifugao (one or two days). The total travel is therefore from six to eight days, but in the rainy season the time, owing to delays from bridges out, and bad weather, is likely to be much greater. The time required for the transportation of freight from or to Manila varies from two weeks to two months. There are other highways of approach, which, however, are much less feasible for the transportation of bag- gage or freight: the route from Baguio to Buguias, Benguet, thence by foot across the Cordillera Central to Kiangan, Ifugao (the capi- tal); this route requiring five to seven days. The other highway runs from Dagupan to San Nicolas, Pangasinan (one day), thence to Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya (three days), thence to Kiangan (two days), this trip requiring six or seven days provided one encounters no delays. The time required by the mails to Manila (there is one mail a week) is, on the average, ten days. One cannot depend on a reply from Manila by mail in less than a month. It may consequently be seen that the Ifugao are a people econom- ically isolated in the highest degree. They have practically no foreign market whatever for their products. For their imports they must pay middlemen's profits three or four times over as well as high trans- portation charges. And the ordinary middleman's profit in the Philippines and especially in these isolated regions is a thing to make a retailer in more civilized countries green with envy. CHARACTER OF THE COUNTRY The region that the Ifugao' inhabit is mountainous in the extreme. The mountains are either the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Central or spurs from that range. In the part of the region that is at present inhabited by the Ifugao and that can be properly termed their habitat, the only comparatively level land is the Ligaue plateau. This is a former lake bottom. It has a superfice of some five hundred acres. Within the limits of the political division termed the "Subprovince of Ifugao"

The Use GIS and Remote Sensing in the Assessment of Magat Watershed in the Philippines A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Management Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston North, New Zealand Emerson Tattao 2010 Abstract The Philippine watersheds are continually being degraded— thus threatening the supply of water in the country. The government has recognised the need for effective monitoring and management to avert the declining condition of these watersheds. This study explores the applications of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), in the collection of information and analysis of data, in order to support the development of effective critical watershed management strategies. Remote sensing was used to identify and classify the land cover in the study area. Both supervised and unsupervised methods were employed to establish the most appropriate technique in watershed land cover classification. GIS technology was utilised for the analysis of the land cover data and soil erosion modelling. The watershed boundary was delineated from a digital elevation model, using the hydrological tools in GIS. The watershed classification revealed a high percentage of grassland and increasing agricultural land use, in the study area. The soil erosion modelling showed an extremely high erosion risk in the bare lands and a high erosion risk in the agriculture areas.

  • Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People
    421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take.

  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

  • Oryza Sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras
    Plant Microfossil Results from Old Kiyyangan Village: Looking for the Introduction and Expansion of Wet-field Rice (Oryza sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras Mark HORROCKS, Stephen ACABADO, and John PETERSON ABSTRACT Pollen, phytolith, and starch analyses were carried out on 12 samples from two trenches in Old Kiyyangan Village, Ifugao Province, providing evidence for human activity from ca. 810–750 cal. B.P. Seed phytoliths and endosperm starch of cf. rice (Oryza sativa), coincident with aquatic Potamogeton pollen and sponge spicule remains, provide preliminary evidence for wet-field cultivation of rice at the site. The first rice remains appear ca. 675 cal. B.P. in terrace sediments. There is a marked increase in these remains after ca. 530–470 cal. B.P., supporting previous studies suggesting late expansion of the cultivation of wet-field rice in this area. The study represents initial, sediment-derived, ancient starch evidence for O. sativa, and initial, sediment-derived, ancient phytolith evidence for this species in the Philippines. KEYWORDS: Philippines, Ifugao Rice Terraces, rice (Oryza sativa), pollen, phytoliths, starch. INTRODUCTION THE IFUGAO RICE TERRACES IN THE CENTRAL CORDILLERAS,LUZON, were inscribed in the UNESCOWorldHeritage List in 1995, the first ever property to be included in the cultural landscape category of the list (Fig. 1). The nomination and subsequent listing included discussion on the age of the terraces. The terraces were constructed on steep terrains as high as 2000 m above sea level, covering extensive areas. The extensive distribution of the terraces and estimates of the length of time required to build these massive landscape modifications led some researchers to propose a long history of up to 2000–3000 years, which was supported by early archaeological 14C evidence (Barton 1919; Beyer 1955; Maher 1973, 1984).

  • Hydraulics Research Wallingford
    ~ Hydraulics Research Wallingford SEDIMENTATION IN RESERVOIRS: MAGAT RESERVOIR, CAGAYAN VALLEY, LUZON PHILIPPINES 1984 reservoir survey and data analysis R Wooldridge - T Eng (CEI) In collaboration with: National Irrigation Administration, Manila, Philippines Report No OD 69 April 1986 Registered Office: Hydraulics Research Limited, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OXIO 8BA. Telephone: 0491 35381. Telex: 848552 ABSTRACT The Overseas Development Unit of Hydraulics Research Limited is involved in studies to quantify the effects of catchment management in reducing the quantity of sediment being delivered to rivers and deposited in reservoirs. Many recent reservoir studies have shown that observed sedimentation rates can be more than four times the rates estimated during the feasibility studies. This study uses a computer program, developed for a series of Kenyan reservoirs, to calculate the change in storage capacity of Magat Reservoir in north-central Luzon, the Philippines, as the first stage in a unified study of the total catchment erosion/reservoir sedimentstion system. A more detailed examination of the pre-impoundment survey data has shown that the reservoir storage capacity is some 25% greater than the original Feasibility Study and a first estimate of the catchment erosion rate is double the Feasibility Report estimate.
