(personal 2 Puerto Princesa Jr. observations) 1.3 Protection status: Pearl bubble corals are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of threatened species and is listed on Appendix II of CITES. In the Philippines, pearl bubble corals and other scleractinians are protected under Republic Act 8550 and the Fisheries Code of 1998. In addition, all wildlife, including scleractinian corals and its by-products and derivatives, are allowed for collection only for scientific, breeding or propagation purposes under Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Act of 2001 and the National Integrated Protected Areas System of 1992 or Republic Act 7586. Corals also protected under local legislation in the 1,827 marine protected areas all over the Philippines. 1.4 Habitat and resource assessment: Physogyra lichtensteini favors turbid, shallow waters within 1-20m depth. They are commonly found in protected areas such as crevices and overhangs. 1.5 Biology and ecology: Pearl bubble coral is a colonial, stony species that form massive colonies bubble-like appearance—thus its common name. Colonies can reach 3 meters in length. During the day, the surface of the colony has a pale grey, almost white colour and adorned with many small, spherical, fleshy vesicles that look like small grapes. The vesicles can either be smooth and rounded like a bubble (or fork-shaped with tiny bumps) which will retract when disturbed. At night, the species extends thick fleshy tentacles in order to catch food suspended in surrounding waters (Turak and Wood 2014; Veron 1986). The structure of P.lichtensteini colonies are ideal for small crustaceans such as shrimp to live. The spaces between the individual vesicles are used by shrimps as hiding places from larger predators. Species associated with the Pearl bubble coral include Commensal shrimp such as Vir philippinesis (bubble coral shrimp), crabs such as Achaeus japonicus (orang-utan crab) and Hawksbill turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata. Physogyra lichtensteini are gonochoristic - they release either sperm or eggs into the water where fertilization occurs (Veron 1986). Spawning occurs after sunset a few days after a full moon in late spring. 1.6 Threat analysis: Pearl bubble corals are heavily harvested for the aquarium and live coral trade. According to IUCN, 11,000 specimens were allowed to be extracted annually from the wild as of 2012. Indonesia is the largest exporter of this species with an annual quota of 10,500 pieces as of 2005. The population decline of this species is linked to general stressors of the coral reefs in the world. P.lichtensteini, like most corals, is severely threatened by destructive fishing, deforestation, pollution and other anthropogenic stressors. Climate change, coral diseases, bleaching (Carpenter et al. 2008, Burke et al. 2011), ocean acidification and extreme weather conditions caused by ENSO events and storms further threaten this species. THREATS Priority Anthropogenic Overfishing Unsustainable collection for aquarium and live fish trade Illegal fishing methods (cyanide and dynamite) Poaching in marine protected areas Improper waste disposal and no recycling of wastes Sedimentation Weak management capacity of local government and community Natural Coral bleaching Crown-of-Thorns 1.7 Stakeholder analysis: Current Proposed Country Stakeholder Interest Impact Intensity activities activities Submit US AID Development Funder + Low proposals Submit GIZ Development Funder + Low proposals Submit UNDP-GEF Development Funder + Medium proposals Conservation Conservation Practitioners + High Collaborate International Zoological Society Conservation Practitioners + High Collaborate of London International Coral Cay Conservation Conservation Practitioners + High Collaborate Foundation Conservation Oceana & law Practitioners + High Collaborate enforcement World Wildlife Fund Conservation Practitioners + High Collaborate Fauna and Flora Conservation Practitioners + High Collaborate International California Academy Research Research + Low Collaborate of Sciences Asian Development Submit Regional Development Funder + Medium Bank proposals Conservation, law Local government Government enforcement, + Critical Collaborate of Burdeos resource manager Conservation, law Local government Government enforcement, - Critical Collaborate of Patnanungan resource manager Conservation, law Local government Government enforcement, + Critical Collaborate of Polillo resource Philippines manager Conservation, law Local government Government enforcement, + Critical Collaborate of Jomalig resource manager Conservation, law Local government Government enforcement, + Critical Collaborate of Panukulan resource manager Conservation, law Local government Government enforcement, - Critical Collaborate of Mauban resource manager Current

  • Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines
    Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines November 2005 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG-ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) http://www.nscb.gov.ph in cooperation with The WORLD BANK Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines FOREWORD This report is part of the output of the Poverty Mapping Project implemented by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) with funding assistance from the World Bank ASEM Trust Fund. The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

The cooperatives were trying to give all the necessary relief that they could provide to ease the burden of the community. Thus, they provided different kinds of assistance and rendered selfless service for the continuous operation in compliance to the government protocols on precautionary measures. The RHUDARDA Multipurpose Cooperative from Polillo, Quezon is one of the cooperatives in the Quezon province which exemplifies valiant deeds amidst the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) declared by President Duterte under Proclamation no. 929 s. 2020 “Declaring A State of Calamity Due to the Corona Virus Disease.” The RHUDARDA MPC did its part and took an extra mile for their employees/members/community. The cooperative gave an early distribution of 13th month pay to their sixty (60) employees in Polillo and their satellite offices in Burdeos, Patnanungan, Panukulan and Jomalig. Moreover, despite the skeletal workforce implementation and the reduction of employee working hours, employees of the cooperative were paid in full monthly salary. The RHUDARDA MPC officers and employees were always ready for service despite all uncertainties and threat of this dreaded virus. The cooperative recognized their commitment and dedication by giving them additional financial assistance and food packs for their families. With regard to the precautionary measures, the cooperative is compliant with the government’s protocols.
