  • Synergizing Capacities and Mobilizing Resources for Coconut Fiber
    Synergizing Capacities and Mobilizing Resources for Coconut Fiber Production I. Project Background and Context Coco fiber is an inexpensive, light, bulky, by-product taken from the coconut husk, often thrown away as waste material. It is a good medium in environmental protection and its by-products equally useful. Thus, coco fiber is one of the promising commodities identified by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). It was also voted as the most environmentally friendly product of BBC World in 2006. The Philippines has a competitive edge in the global market for this particular commodity in view of its climate, soil and other factors which offers potential for plentiful supply. The coconut being grown as a major crop in many parts of the country made the Philippines third in rank next to Indonesia and India of the total world produce (Reader’s Digest, June 2005). The Municipality of Tubungan is a 5th class municipality, 42 kilometers south of Iloilo City. It has a total land area of 8,518 hectares of undulating/rolling hills and mountains, and 100 ft. above sea level. It is highly agricultural with rice as the major crop, followed by corn, coconut and variety of vegetables (Profile of the Municipality of Tubungan 2004). - 1 - The Coco Fiber Production Project in the Municipality of Tubungan was implemented and managed by the Federation of Small Coconut Growers Association (Tubungan, Iloilo) (FSCGA), Inc. which later evolved into the Tubungan Small Coconut Growers Multi-Purpose Cooperative (TSCG-MPC) under the supervision of the Local Government Unit of Tubungan and the continuing support and technical assistance of West Visayas State University (WVSU), the Philippine Association of Tertiary Level Educational Institutions in Environmental Protection and Management (PATLEPAM), UNDP and other government and non- government organizations.

  • Bulabog Puti-An National Park Tour Package
    The BPNP covers the municipalities of Dingle and San Enrique, Province of Iloilo. It was proclaimed under Presidential Proclamation No. 760 as a National Park in 1961 by President Carlos P. Garcia. The park is known for its unique geological formation and is the only limestone mountain formation in Iloilo Province. It is also known as the location of the "Cry of Lincud" which started the Philippine Revolution in Iloilo in 1898. The BPNP is home to 30 remarkable caves. However, only four of these caves are occasionally trekked/explored by tourists because others may either have small openings or found alongside cliffs. These are Tuko Cave, Maestranza Cave, Guizo Cave, and Lapus-lapus Cave. It is named as such because of the number of tukos or geckos inhabiting it. It is a small cave of elegant stalactites and stalagmites formations. It is considered a historical cave declared by the National Historical Institute because it served as the hideaway for Filipino guerillas, with the presence of inscription inside the cave wall that reads "Los Republicanos Juran Morir Antes Que Entregarse" or "The Republicans Swear to Die Before Surrendering". The cave is also a cultural and religious site for Roman Catholics who visit the place every Holy Week to do "via cruzes" or "way of the cross" BPNP also houses many endemic species such as black tarantula, snail, millipede, tailless whip, scorpion, Philippine orange tarantula, flying fox, pit viper, etc. The Moroboro Dam of the Jalaur river is also another tourist spot in the park. It is built in 1955 to provide additional water supply, improve irrigation in the Province of Iloilo, augment electric power supply through a hydroelectric plant and enhance flood mitigation measures which serves the towns of Dingle, Barotac Nuevo, Dumangas and Zarraga..
