Esquivias Assistant National Statistician National Censuses Service ISSN 0117-1453 FOREWORD The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) conducted the 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) in August 2015 primarily to update the country’s population and its demographic characteristics, such as the size, composition, and geographic distribution. 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.

The province has boldly initiated many innovative approaches to tackling disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in Albay and continues to integrate CCA into its current DRM structure. Albay maintains its position as the first mover in terms of climate smart DRR by imple- menting good practices to ensure zero casualty during calamities, which is why the province is now being recognized throughout the world as a local govern- ment exemplar in Climate Change Adap- tation.

    MALACAÑANG MANILA PROCLAMATION NO. 1250 EXCLUSION OF MINERAL RESOURCE-RICH AREAS OF CAGRARAY ISLAND, ALBAY FROM THE BICOL REGION TOURISM MASTER PLAN WHEREAS, the Bicol Region Tourism Master Plan (BRTMP) serves as the blueprint for the development and promotion of tourism in the Bicol Region, the implementation of which will generate livelihood and employment opportunities therein; WHEREAS, the BRTMP embraces mineral resource-rich areas found in the Island of Cagraray, Albay Province; WHEREAS, the inclusion of these mineral resource-rich areas in the BRTMP precludes the utilization and development of the island's mineral resources and caused the cessation of exploratory mining and related activities, thereby depriving investors of the return on their investments and the local residents of employment opportunities; WHEREAS, the sustainable development and utilization of natural resources, which includes mineral resources, is being promoted and encouraged by the government in accordance with the Philippine Mining Act (RA No. 7942, s. 1995); NOW THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law do hereby declare and order: SECTION 1. Exclusion Of Mineral Resource-Rich Areas in Cagraray Island from the Coverage of the BRTMP. Upon the recommendation of the Regional Technical Working Group (RTWG) composed of representatives from the regional offices of the Department of Tourism, National Economic and Development Authority, Presidential Commission on Bicol Tourism Special Development Project, and representatives from the Provincial Government of Albay, Municipal Government of Bacacay, Albay Provincial and Bacacay Municipal Tourism Councils, and 1 in consultation with the concerned local communities, the mineral- rich areas in Cagraray Island as delineated in the attached map which forms part and parcel of this document, are hereby excluded from the coverage of the Bicol Region Tourism Master Plan.

  • Are Insular Populations of the Philippine Falconet (Microhierax Erythrogenys) Steps in a Cline?
    The Condor 115(3):576–583 The Cooper Ornithological Society 2013 ARE INSULAR POPULATIONS OF THE PHILIPPINE FALCONET (MICROHIERAX ERYTHROGENYS) STEPS IN A CLINE? TODD E. KATZNER1,2,5 AND NIGEL J. COLLAR3,4 1Division of Forestry and Natural Resources, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV 26506-6125 2USDA Forest Service, Timber and Watershed Laboratory, Parsons, WV 3BirdLife International, Cambridge CB3 0NA, UK 4Natural History Museum, Tring, Herts HP23 6AP, UK Abstract. Founder effects, new environments, and competition often produce changes in species colonizing islands, although the resulting endemism sometimes requires molecular identification. One method to identify fruitful areas for more detailed genetic study is through comparative morphological analyses. We measured 210 museum specimens to evaluate the potential morphological consequences of colonization across the Philippine archipelago by the Philippine Falconet (Microhierax erythrogenys). Measurements of both males and females dif- fered clearly from island to island. Univariate and multivariate analysis of characteristics showed a latitudinal gra- dient, with the bill, wing, and tail of southern birds being larger than those of northern birds, forming the pattern of a stepped cline across a succession of islands. The stepped gradient in morphology and extensive differences between islands we observed provide evidence for multiple perspectives on phylogeny, including concordance with aggregate complexes expected on the basis of sea-level fluctuations. However, calculation of diagnosability indices did not support subspecific designations. Sex-specific dominance and dispersal patterns may explain this unusual south-to-north stepped cline, and they also provide a useful format for understanding biogeographical patterns by island. Finally, these morphological data suggest a potentially fruitful area for future genetic studies.

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
