Rafflesia Camarinensis (Rafflesiaceae), a New Species from Mt ARTICLE | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology Rafflesia camarinensis (Rafflesiaceae), A New Species from Mt. Asog, Camarines Sur, Luzon Island, Philippines* Flordeliz B. Valenzuela1,3, Gertrudes Girlie Jaucian-Adan1, Esperanza Maribel G. Agoo2 and Domingo A. Madulid2 ABSTRACT Rafflesia camarinensis, a new species of Rafflesia, is described from Mt. Asog, Camarines Sur in southeastern Luzon, Philippines. The species is remarkable in being one of the smallest Rafflesia in the Philippines with flower diameter measuring just 11-13 cm across. It is distinguished from R. baletei from the adjoining Mt. Isarog by various KEY WORDS : characters more notably its smaller size, dome-shaped perigone lobes, thicker and almost woody texture, less dense warts which are more or less homogeneous and Rafflesiaceae raised, fewer, shorter and randomly distributed processes, and a diaphragm concolorous Rafflesia camarinensis with the perigone lobes and with continuous thick white warts on its surface. It has a Mt. Asog very narrow distribution, is critically endangered and needs immediate conservation Philippines actions. INTRODUCTION Bicol State University of Agriculture, received a research grant in 2005 to study what is then known as Rafflesia ma- To date, there are 14 species of Rafflesia recognized in the nillana Teschem. found in Mt. Isarog, Camarines Sur. The Philippines, namely: R. aurantia Barcelona, Co & Balete, R. team led by G. Jaucian Adan and F. Valenzuela con- baletei Barcelona & Cajano, R. banaoana Malabrigo, R. ducted several trips to the mountain and located Raf- banahawensis Madulid, Villariba-Tolentino & Agoo, R. flesia flowers which turned out to be a new species, i.e. R. leonardi Barcelona & Pielser, R. lobata Galang & Madulid, R. baletei (Barcelona et al., 2006). magnifica Madulid, Tandang & Agoo, R. manillana Teschem., R. mixta Barcelona et al., R. panchoana Madulid, Buot & On February 2006, Jaucian-Adan received a report from D. Agoo, R. schadenbergiana Goep. ex Hieron., R. speciosa Bagacina of the Alliance of Sumagang Outdoor Group, Barcelona & Fernando, R. verrucosa Balete et al., and R. telling about a small Rafflesia flower in the slopes of Mt. consueloae Galindon, Ong & Fernando. Several names are Asog, a mountain within the city limits of Iriga City. Jaucian invalidly published: R. philippensis Blanco (Madulid and -Adan and her team then visited the place and saw 14 buds Agoo, 2015; Agoo et al., 2015) and R. cumingii R.Br. and 3 full bloom flowers that were smaller in size and (Mabberley, 1999). R. mira Fernando & Ong is a dubious morphologically different from R. baletei. They suspected it name and its identity is uncertain (Madulid and Agoo, 2014) to be a new species of Rafflesia and. immediately notified while R. lagascae Azaola ex Blanco is a superfluous name their school and the City Government of Iriga. The then (Agoo et al. in prep.). Mayor of Iriga City, Madelaine Alfelor-Gazmen and the City Council committed to protect the Rafflesia area for As part of its biodiversity conservation efforts, Camarines Sur biodiversity conservation and ecotourism.

Nino National High School, Iriga City1 Febias College of Bible, Karuhatan, Valenzuela City2 CGSTER, Philippine Normal University, Taft Avenue, Manila1,2,3 ABSTRACT The Philippines is a disaster-prone spot in the Asian continent, which calls for proactive response vital in disaster mitigation and adaptation. For a program to be successful, it must involve the citizens from the national to the barangay level. This descriptive study investigated the perceptions of community residents of San Francisco, Iriga City, and Karuhatan, Valenzuela City, towards Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) programs as proactive measures in promoting a culture of safety and community resilience in times of disaster or emergency. Thirty residents from each community answered a community survey. The responses underwent frequencies, and the percentage calculation. The study results showed a generally affirmative perception of both groups on the city- wide disaster preparedness campaign through DRRM programs. However, the community responses on four categories: (1) Disaster Legislation, (2) Vulnerability to Disaster, (3) Disaster or Emergency Awareness, and (4) Disaster or Emergency Preparedness were relatively high in the Iriga group, which indicated a relatively high level of involvement in DRRM programs and a high level of preparedness for disasters.

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.
