Immediately after the earthquake, UNDP joined the multi-sectoral assessment which looked into the most urgent needs of the affected population. As the co-lead of the Early Recovery (ER) Cluster, UNDP zeroed in on the specific ER needs of the communities and formulated project interventions which could facilitate their early recovery and help establish the foundations for long-term development. With funding assistance of USD 800,000 from the Government of Japan, the project “Debris Management and Livelihood Support for areas affected by the Bohol Earthquake,” or the Bohol Early Recovery Project, was designed to benefit the ten (10) hardest hit municipalities in southwestern Bohol namely, Maribojoc, Antequera, Loon, Calape, Tubigon, Clarin, Inabanga, Sagbayan, Catigbian, and San Isidro. The project later expanded to include the nearby municipality of Carmen (component 1 only) upon the request of its municipal government for assistance in addressing the effects of the earthquake. -

McLEAN Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90007, U.S.A. Abstract. Two new gastropods of the turbinid subfamily Liotiinae are described: Bathyliontia glassi and Pseudoliotina springsteeni. Both species have been collected recently in tangle nets off the Philippine Islands.

Biogeography of Mammals in SE Asia: Estimates of Rates of Colonization, Extinction and Speciation
Biological Journal oflhe Linnean Sociely (1986), 28, 127-165. With 8 figures Biogeography of mammals in SE Asia: estimates of rates of colonization, extinction and speciation LAWRENCE R. HEANEY Museum of <oology and Division of Biological Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, U.S.A. Accepted for publication I4 February 1986 Four categories of islands in SE Asia may be identified on the basis of their histories of landbridge connections. Those islands on the shallow, continental Sunda Shelf were joined to the Asian mainland by a broad landbridge during the late Pleistocene; other islands were connected to the Sunda Shelf by a middle Pleistocene landbridge; some were parts of larger oceanic islands; and others remained as isolated oceanic islands. The limits of late Pleistocene islands, defined by the 120 ni bathymetric line, are highly concordant with the limits of faunal regions. Faunal variation among non-volant mammals is high between faunal regions and low within the faunal regions; endcmism of faunal regions characteristically exceeds 70%. Small and geologically young oceanic islands are depauperate; larger and older islands are more species-rich. The number of endemic species is correlated with island area; however, continental shelf islands less than 125000 km2 do not have endemic species, whereas isolated oceanic islands as small as 47 km2 often have endemic species. Geologirally old oceanic islands have many endemic species, whereas young oceanic islands have few endemic species. Colonization across sea channels that were 5-25 km wide during the Pleistocene has been low, with a rate of about 1-2/500000 years. -
Fisheries in the South China Sea: a Centrifugal Or Centripetal Force?
© The Author 2012. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved doi: 10.1093/chinesejil/jms054; Advance Access publication 14 December 2012 Fisheries in the South China Sea: A Centrifugal or Centripetal Force? Erik Franckx* Abstract The present paper intends to have a look at fisheries in the South China Sea in order to find out whether this particular issue is a problem solver or rather a problem creator in this region characterized by tense inter-State relation ships at present. In this part of the world’s ocean, dominated by maritime features such as the Paracels and the Spratleys, i.e. shallow areas, sometimes drying only at low tide, and sometimes at high tide as well, fish is a plentiful resource relied upon by many fishermen of the surrounding countries as a source of income. If we take Europe as an example, fisheries seem to have the dual capability to either trigger disputes between States, resulting some times in outright fish wars, or to provide a means of furthering integration between States, such as has been accomplished by the European Common Fisheries Policy. In the South China Sea a similar duality can be witnessed. At times, fishermen have dramatically influenced the relations between * Research Professor, President of the Department of International and European Law, Director of the Centre for International Law and Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Law and Criminology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB; Pleinlaan 2, B- 1050, Brussels, Belgium; [email protected]).

Re-Evaluating the Position of Iraya Among Philippine Languages
International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics 13 Academia Sinica, Taipei July 18-23, 2015 Re‐evaluating the position of Iraya among Philippine languages Lawrence A. Reid University of Hawai‘i A L R Presentation Plan • Introduction • About the Iraya language • Position of the Northern Mindoro languages • Contact diffusion into Iraya • Conclusion A L R Mindoro A L R Mindoro A L R Introduction (1) • Iraya is one of the more than 150 Malayo‐Polynesian languages spoken in the Philippines. • It is spoken by the older generation of some 5000 on the island of Mindoro, the 7th largest island in the Philippines. • There are at least 7 languages spoken on the island, of which Iraya is the most northerly and is adjacent to the Batangas area of northern Luzon, where Tagalog is the main language. A L R Introduction (2) • Iraya is distinctly different in a number of features from the other languages of Mindoro, and of the Philippines. • These features include different pronominal forms and functions, several changes in the structure of noun phrases, changes in the patterns of verb structures, changes in word order, and other sentential features, not commonly found in other Philippine languages. A L R Introduction (3) • The question being asked is to what extent these features are retentions, the result of innovations unique to Iraya, or are developments that are the result of contact diffusion. • One factor that needs to be considered: Iraya people have phenotypical features that distinguish them from lowland Philippine peoples, primarily in that they typically have wavy to curly hair, a feature found to a more pronounced degree in Negrito populations of the Philippines, suggesting that these were also a Negrito group that has been heavily influenced by in‐ migration of non‐Negrito peoples. -

Vocal Divergence and New Species in the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox Philippensis Complex
FORKTAIL 28 (2012): 1–20 Vocal divergence and new species in the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox philippensis complex P. C. RASMUSSEN, D. N. S. ALLEN, N. J. COLLAR, B. DEMEULEMEESTER, R. O. HUTCHINSON, P. G. C. JAKOSALEM, R. S. KENNEDY, F. R. LAMBERT & L. M. PAGUNTALAN We show, based on morphology and especially vocalisations, that the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox philippensis requires treatment as seven allopatric species and at least one additional subspecies. Morphological distinctions between three groups of taxa are striking, and although taxa within one major group are relatively similar in plumage they vary rather consistently in size and proportions. It has not been possible until now to resolve the species limits in this complex due mainly to the lack of sound recordings of key taxa, a problem now rectified. Vocalisations differ significantly between all seven species, the limits of which are incongruent with all previous taxonomies. Taxa from Mindoro ( mindorensis ), Mindanao ( spilocephala ), Camiguin Sur (named herein), and the Sulu Islands ( reyi ) exhibit especially great vocal differences from all other taxa along with smaller but consistent differences in plumage and morphometrics. Although specimens have been in museum collections for many years, two of these species and one subspecies have heretofore remained undescribed, and we formally name these taxa for science. The recommended species-level treatment and English names of the N. philippensis complex are: Luzon Hawk Owl N. philippensis ; Mindanao Hawk Owl N. spilocephala ; Mindoro Hawk Owl N. mindorensis ; Sulu Hawk Owl Ninox reyi ; Romblon Hawk Owl N. spilonota ; Camiguin Hawk Owl new species; and Cebu Hawk Owl new species. -
Discovery O F Triassic Conodonts from Uson Islands O F the Calamian
No. 2] Proc. Japan Acad., 56, Ser. B (1980) 69 14. Discovery of Triassic Conodonts from Malajon and Uson Islands of the Calamian Island Group, Palawan Province, the Philippines, and Its Geological Significance By wataru HASHIM0T0,*) Shigeru TAKIZAWA,**) Guillermo R. BALCE, * * * ) Ernesto A. ESPIRITU, * * * and Crisanto A. BAURA* * * > (Communicated by Teiichi KoBAYASxi, M. J. A., Feb. 12, 1980) This short article deals with the discovery of Epigondolella ab- neptis (Huckriede) , a Lower Norian index conodont of Japan, in the limestone at the southeastern coast of Malajon Island, the Calamian Island Group, and its geological significance. The general geology of the Calamian Island Group had not been surveyed since Smith (1924) reported the manganese-bearing chert formation from Busuanga Island and limestone from Coron Island, until 1978, when H. Fontaine reported the geological and palaeon- tological results of his reconnaissance works conducted in this island group (Fontaine, 1978, 1979; Fontaine et al., 1979). The Calamian Island Group is geographically situated between Mindoro and Palawan Islands, where the Mindoro and the Palawan Metamorphics are exposed respectively. Concerning the origin of these schists in the Recent Palawan Arc trending from Palawan to Mindoro, Gervasio (1971) and Hashimoto and Sato (1973) are of different opinions. Gervasio (1971) referred to the schist in the Palawan Arc as the basement of the Philippines and the non-metamorphosed Palaeozoic sediments including limestone in northern Palawan as well as that in the Calamian Island Group and the Permian limestone on Carabao Island as Palaeozoic formation deposited in a miogeosyncline, occur- ring in an east-west direction upon the basement schist terrain. -
