CCOP PROGRESS REPORT (document CCOP-41AS/2-3) The CCOP T/S Director, Mr. Chen Shick Pei, presented the CCOP Progress Report (ANNEX IV) covering the period 01 July 2003 – 30 June 2004, with an update to October 2004. 3. MEMBER COUNTRIES’ REPORTS (documents CCOP-41AS/3-4 to 3-13) The reports submitted to the 41st CCOP Annual Session by Member Countries are shown in ANNEX V. The following comments were made during the discussions of the country reports: Proceedings of the 41st CCOP Annual Session 2 CCOP Technical Secretariat Tsukuba, Japan, 15-18 November 2004 Cambodia No comments or questions China No comments or questions Indonesia Denmark thanked the Indonesian delegation for the support in the Capacity Building Project: Enhancement of Cooperation and Sharing of Geoscientific Knowledge for the Sustainable Development of the Petroleum Resources in the CCOP Region (Phase I) and requested Indonesia to update their Country Report to include their request for support and their willingness to participate in the Project. Japan Canada asked how quickly they can update their webpage after a large earthquake event. Japan replied that routine posting of earthquake information is the responsibility of the Japan Meteorological Agency. The Geological Survey of Japan only posts information when there is a significant event that has a geological component, in which case the web site is updated daily. Director Chen thanked Japan for the presentation and in particular he thanked GSJ/AIST for their work on CCOP Metadata. He also thanked Japan for the substantial cooperation between CCOP and GSJ/AIST in the geo-information sector. As a result, CCOP has a meta-database of geological maps and is trying to develop a new project which encompasses all geoscience data types. He hoped Japan and the other Cooperating Countries would help develop a broader meta-database of geoscience information. The Director encouraged other Member Countries to participate in this important project for CCOP. Korea Director Chen thanked Korea for the presentation and on behalf of CCOP, expressed appreciation for the Assessment of Landslide Hazards Projects which has benefited the Member Countries. He felt, judging from the requests from Member Countries, that geohazards is one of the important fields to be emphasized. He also thanked Korea for its offer of new projects including a project on Sea Water Intrusion which is also very relevant to many of the Member Countries who are facing this challenge. The CCOP T/S is looking forward to having discussions with KIGAM and other Member Countries on the details of the project. Malaysia Referring to Malaysia’s support to the proposed Capacity-Building Project, Denmark added that an Inception Phase (IP) has been planned for the proposed Project. During the IP, the CCOP Member Countries participating in the selected “Case Studies” will be invited to discuss and finally define the details of the scientific and training programmes of the project. Proceedings of the 41st CCOP Annual Session 3 CCOP Technical Secretariat Tsukuba, Japan, 15-18 November 2004 Dr. Reedman (Honorary Adviser) thanked Malaysia for the interesting account of recent landslips in Malaysia and asked whether the CCOP/KIGAM project identifying and mapping areas of landslip susceptibility by remote sensing was proving useful in the context of Malaysia. Malaysia replied that the study indicates the hazards area on a macro scale and field checks have to be carried out on a more detailed scale. Germany enquired on the level of exploration activities carried out by Petronas Carigali and its concession partners during recent years. Malaysia replied that the level of exploration activities are constant at about 40 wells per year. Papua New Guinea Director Chen asked the Representative of PNG about the status of the newly created Mineral Resource Authority (MRA). PNG answered that when approved by their Government, the current Department of Mining (DOM) will be dissolved and most of its functions transferred to the MRA. Those roles not transferred will be Policy, and the Geophysical and Volcano Observatories. These will be under a new Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management (DMPGM). Philippines No comments or questions Thailand No comments or questions Vietnam Denmark commented that the Country Report of Vietnam had not mentioned a new three-year ENRECA project entitled “The Mobilisation of Arsenic and the Relation to the Dynamic Interaction between Groundwater and Surface Water in the Red River Plain: Phase 1” which was approved by Danida’s ENRECA Programme in October 2003. The project is currently in its initiation phase and is implemented in close co-operation between GEUS, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI), HUMG, HUS and the Northern Hydrogeological and Engineering Geological Division of Vietnam (NHEGD). 4.

One cannot decipher if it is a woman chanting, or perhaps a flute rendering a simi- lar sound. A lively, bouncing kobing1 enters the melodic soundscape. Rattling engenders anticipation in a suspense-filled theater. The thumping of a primal drum and the clashing/crashing of gongs generate sounding in a chaotic frenzy, which makes its way into for the procession from stage left; it is led by two bare-chested men carrying 10 foot poles with flag like tassels hanging from what looks like large pointy “rice hats.” Three Figure 1: malong2-clad ballerinas follow closely behind, execut- Poster of ing coupé en dehor pirouettes alternately left, right, left, the right twirling their woven palm leaf fans.

  • The Manobo Tribe Then and Now:An Ethnography Abraham L
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 6, Issue 4, April-2015 227 ISSN 2229-5518 The Manobo Tribe Then and Now:An Ethnography Abraham L. Masendo Abstract— The study delved into the cultural practices of Agusan Manobo tribe in the past as it is practiced in the present. It also sought the strategies used by the tribe to withhold their practices as well as their hopes and aspiration. The study made use of the interview to the selected ten elders of the tribe and conducted also a focused group discussion to the seven datus surrounding Sitio Kapda, Barangay Sab- ud, Loreto, Agusan del Sur, Philippines. It is revealed in the study that rituals, belief in the spirits, marriages, healing, settling disputes, buri- als and choosing new leader were the practices of the tribe. As pious people, their activities are always consulted with unseen spirits to whom they believed to have interference of every activity of human being. It is revealed that the oral tradition was the most common way of conveying their practices to the young so that it will continue to exist. The family was the first venue of such witnessing of practice. They be- lieved in the unity and faith of the tribe in order to continue their practices. It made known from the study that the tribe longed for indigenous education for their young to use when they led the tribe in the future. They wanted also that they have their own land to live where the next generation can exercise their beliefs and practice their rituals.

The memhers of the Profiteering Commission (1920) who were " impressed and much handicapped by the absence of any recorded information relating to fish and fisheries," made certain recom- mendations for the future control and organisation of the fishing industry and these recommendations have received the approval of- the Government. With the best will in the world, the task of Legislators and Fishery Officers who have no data or records to guide them, and are therefore unalile to discuss our local fish and fisheries except in vague terms, would be as fruitless in the future as it has been in the past. Allowiing, therefore, that recorded information in the form of a hand-book on Malayan Fishes is wanted and wanted at once,, the diflSculty arises that there is no one qualified or likely to be qualified for some years to write such a book.
