Electricity Sector Planning for the Philippine islands: Considering Centralized and Decentralized Supply Options 1, 2 1 Paul Bertheau , Catherina Cader 1Reiner Lemoine Institut, Rudower Chaussee 12, 12489 Berlin, Germany 2Europa-Universität Flensburg, Auf dem Campus 1, 24943 Flensburg, Germany email: [email protected] ABSTRACT For archipelagic states such as the Philippines, it is important to evaluate centralized and decentralized approaches to electricity supply to ensure that the many and far-flung islands receive affordable, reliable and sustainable electricity. This study compares the feasibility of (I) submarine cable interconnection and (II) renewable energy based hybrid system development for 132 islands. For (I), we conduct a geospatial analysis and use an algorithm to compute the optimized grid outline, taking into account bathymetric models. For (II) we apply an optimization tool that computes for each island the least-cost power generation option, taking into account diesel generator, solar photovoltaic systems, battery storage, and electricity demand. The results indicate that a grid extension of 2,239 km submarine cable and 1,752 km land cable would be required to connect all of the islands considered. The overall investment under the given cost assumptions amounts to more than 3 billion USD for submarine cable interconnection and more than 700 million USD for a hybridized system development. Nevertheless, submarine cable interconnection is the most economically feasible option for 35 islands and can reduce power generation costs by up to 0.21 USD/kWh. A sensitivity analysis reveals that submarine cable interconnection remains the cost-effective option for most of the identified islands, even with costs increasing by 90%. -

The center of the eye of the typhoon is likely to make landfall over Catanduanes early morning of 01 November 2020, then it will pass over mainland Camarines Provinces tomorrow morning, and over mainland Quezon tomorrow afternoon. At 10:00 PM, the eye of TY "ROLLY" was located based on all available data including those from Virac and Daet Doppler Weather Radars at 185 km East of Virac, Catanduanes. Bicol Region is now under serious threat as TY "ROLLY" continues to move closer towards Catanduanes. Violent winds and intense to torrential rainfall associated with the inner rainband-eyewall region will be experienced over (1) Catanduanes tonight through morning; (2) Camarines Provinces and the northern portion of Albay including Rapu-Rapu Islands tomorrow early morning through afternoon. -

In spite of nearly five hundred years of language documentation in the Philippines, and at least a century of work in Borneo and Sulawesi, the majority of these languages remain grossly underdocumented, and an alarming number of languages remain almost completely undocumented. -
Priority Conservation Areas for Butterflies (Lepidoptera
Animal Conservation (2004) 7, 79–92 C 2004 The Zoological Society of London. Printed in the United Kingdom DOI:10.1017/S1367943003001215 Priority conservation areas for butterflies (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) in the Philippine islands Finn Danielsen1,† and Colin G. Treadaway2 1 NORDECO (Nordic Agency for Development and Ecology), Skindergade 23, DK-1159 Copenhagen, Denmark 2 Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany (Received 7 January 2003; accepted 6 August 2003) Abstract Effective representation of all species in local conservation planning is a major challenge, particularly in poorly known but highly fragmented biological ‘hotspots’. Based on 105 months of studies over 49 years, we reviewed the status of 915 species and 910 subspecies of butterflies known in the Philippines. We identified 133 globally threatened and conservation-dependent endemic Philippine taxa. The current system of 18 priority protected areas provides at least one protected area for 65 of these but no areas for 29 species and 39 subspecies. Of the 133 taxa, 71% do not have a stable population inside a priority site. A total of 29 taxa is endangered or critically endangered; 83% of these do not occur within a priority site. Least protected are the lowland taxa. The minimum network required to include each threatened and conservation-dependent taxon of butterfly within at least one area would comprise 29 sites. The Sulus and Mindanao hold disproportionate numbers of threatened butterflies. Our findings suggest limited cross-taxon congruence in complementarity-derived priority sets. A large proportion of the priority areas for Philippine butterflies do not coincide with known priority areas for mammals and birds. -

Lockdown Surprise: Rare Bird Sightings

The Biodiversity Management Bureau said it has recorded sightings of endangered raptors during the virus lockdown. Photo contributed by BMB-DENR SAN PABLO CITY—More sightings of endangered wildlife, particularly raptors, have been recorded by the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) amid restrictions on human activity and movement in communities on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Extreme heat has also forced these animals to leave their natural habitat and find their way into human settlements, said Rogelio Demelletes Jr., the BMB senior ecosystems management specialist. The public should seek out authorities when they encounter these rare birds, he said, pointing out that illegal traders were also exploiting the pandemic, dangling easy cash in exchange for the wildlife. “We have a [skeleton] force operating during the lockdown. We could send a team for [the animal rescue],” Demelletes said on Monday. The BMB has received at least five reports of raptors being sighted in the provinces of Cavite, Rizal and Batangas, and in the Visayas over a month since these areas were placed under a community quarantine. ‘Human imprint’ The latest animals it rescued were two juvenile Brahminy kites (Haliastur indus) in Mabini, Batangas, on Sunday.

Coral Reefs in the Coastal Waters of the South China Sea PHILIPPINES
United Nations UNEP/GEF South China Sea Global Environment Environment Programme Project Facility NATIONAL REPORT on Coral Reefs in the Coastal Waters of the South China Sea PHILIPPINES Dr. Porfirio Aliño Focal Point for Coral Reefs Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines (MSI/UP) Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines NATIONAL REPORT ON CORAL REEF IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA – PHILIPPINES 55 PHILIPPINES Porfirio M. Aliño Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines INTRODUCTION The South China Sea (SCS) is one of the six major marine biogeographic regions in the Philippines (Figure 1). The western part of the Luzon Islands facing the South China Sea biogeographic region are composed of the Batanes province, and the Babuyan Islands, Cagayan province as the northernmost portion of this region. Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Mindoro Oriental and Occidental, form the midwestern sector of the region in Luzon. The island province of Palawan composes the southwestern-most sector of the Philippine’s section of the South China Sea. Figure 1 South China Sea (SCS) as one of the six major marine biogeographic regions in the Philippines. (Nañola et al. 2004) In the more recent past, the terrestrial and social conditions in Palawan have been referred to as one of the last frontiers - mainly in relation to the extent of the forest and marine ecosystems and high degree conservation consciousness of its stakeholders. The rich marine ecosystems of Palawan, especially coral reefs, are facing numerous threats from human activities. This appears to be a great obstacle to protection and conservation challenges.
