  • Philippine-Abaca-Industry-Roadmap
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This roadmap sets the direction for the Philippine abaca industry. It encompasses industry analyses, benchmarking and supply/value chain. This roadmap identified the potential areas intended for planting and treatment of diseases which are the two most important factors in abaca fiber production. A broad range of private and public sector groups contributed to the production of this document which sets forth new policy, capacity and capability priorities for the Philippine abaca industry. Coordination and analysis of the inputs, organization of the workshops, and preparation of this document were carried out by PhilFIDA. Stakeholders’ meetings and workshops were hosted and facilitated by PhilFIDA Regional Offices. Where are we now? Abaca, internationally known as Manila hemp, is endemic to the Philippines. The Philippines dominates the global abaca trade as the country supplies about 87.5 percent of the world’s abaca fiber requirements and Ecuador and Costa Rica the remaining 12.5 percent as of 2016. In 2016, abaca was planted on 180,302 hectares (ha) with production reaching 72,000 metric tons (MT). The abaca farm structure is classified as a small farm which is owned and managed by individual farmers. It has an average area of 1.6 hectare for every farmer. There are only few farms established and managed by cooperatives or associations with areas ranging from 10 to 100 hectares. Almost one third of the abaca areas can be found in Region V or the Bicol Region with 52,493 hectares. The land area is comparable to combined abaca areas of Regions XIII, XI, XII and VI.

  • Proceedings of the United States National Museum
    : A REVIEW OF THE PHILIPPINE LAND MMIMALS IN THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. By N. HOLLISTER, Assistant Curator, Division of Mammals, United States National Museum. INTRODUCTION. The Philippine mammals in the United States National Museum number 1,454 specimens. This is probably by far the largest collec- tion from the archipelago in any museum. Several papers dealing more or less fully with certain groups or describing new species in the collection have been pubUshed from time to time, but no account of the collection as a whole has ever been printed. Since many unpublished island records of great interest to workers in Philippine mammalogy will be made available by the presentation of a com- plete list of this splendid collection, the following catalogue has been prepared. More than two-thirds of the specimens from the islands have been contributed by Dr. Edgar A. Mearns alone, and many others have reached the museum from various collectors solely through his efforts. A small collection of specimens, many of special interest, sent for determination by the Philippine Bureau of Science, is listed in the present report. Material from this source, mostly collected by Richard C. McGregor and A. Celestino, is credited throughout the list by the initials "P. B. S." Following is a list of the collectors and a summary of the specimens examined and Usted in the preparation of this report Dr. Edgar A. Mearns 1, 012 Philippine Bureau of Science 98 J. B.

  • 3. Socio-Economic Background Information
    THE FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROAD RO-RO TERMINAL SYSTEM FOR MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES - FINAL REPORT - 3. Socio-Economic Background Information 3.1 General Information 3.1.1 Population Population is one of the main indicators used to formulate socio-economic conditions. In this section, the population trend is reviewed on the basis of currently available projections. The population of the Philippines from 1799 to 2000 is shown in Table 3-1. The annual population growth rate was over 2.3% in the 1990’s. Population growth rate fluctuated between 2% and 3% in the 20th century. The size of the population increased by ten times through the century. In 2000, the Philippine population stood at 76.5 million; there has not been a new population census since that time. Current population by regions projected by POPCOM is shown in Table 3-2. It is estimated that 84.2 million persons are living in the Philippines. In The Port Master Plan, national population in 2005 is predicted as 84,214,747, almost the same as the POPCOM projection. NCR, Region III and Region IV have large populations accounting for 38.6% of the total population in 2005.

  • The Bicol Dotoc: Performance, Postcoloniality, and Pilgrimage
    The Bicol Dotoc: Performance, Postcoloniality, and Pilgrimage Jazmin Badong Llana Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies Aberystwyth University September 2009 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Aberystwyth University. Acknowledgements Most Filipinos know at least one proverb which they try to live their lives by and I believe it is this: ‘Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, hindi makararating sa paroroonan’ (one who does not look back to where s/he has come from will not reach her/his desired destination). The underlying idea is the very same one present in concepts of relatedness or reciprocal relations that I discuss in this thesis. And how fitting for my purposes here, since the image is that of a journey. One must look back, however hard or painful it becomes sometimes. But the wisdom of the saying is its reversal of a particular looking back that turned the looker into stone (the story of Lot’s wife in the Bible). Here one looks back so that he/she might realize the goal of the journey (it is empowering and not petrifying!). One looks back with gratitude. It is therefore with deep gratitude that I acknowledge debts and gifts that can never be repaid by any kind of labour or good intention. I will forever cherish the many contributions to this work. I thank, first of all, my supervisors Richard Gough and Adrian Kear whose insights and critical attention to my work have shaped this thesis in entirely positive ways. I always came away from supervisory meetings energized and brimming with ideas, and comforted by their care and support.

  • Factsheet Philippines
    Philip- pines Manila © Madle Timm / German Red Cross Timm © Madle Cyclones Floods Forecast-based Financing Philippines The Philippines is located both in the Pacifi c “Ring of Fire” – an area especially prone to earthquakes – and along the Pacifi c Typhoon Belt. As a consequence, the Philippines is among the countries with the highest disaster risk worldwide. Typhoons are the country’s most frequent extreme event, resulting in 80 % of the adverse economic impact and 70 % of the casualties caused by extreme weather. The Philippines experiences an average of 20 tropical storms each year, of which 4 reach the typhoon cate- gory, resulting in the loss of lives, disruptions of livelihoods and the destruction of houses. From June to December, tropical storms lead to heavy rainfall, fl oods and landslides. Half the fl ooding in the country is caused by other weather systems, such as monsoon rain or strong cold fronts. The concept of FbF Anticipation instead of reaction: with Forecast-based Financing (FbF), the International Red Cross and Red Cres- cent Movement is reshaping the future of the humanitarian system. Based on forecast information and risk anal- ysis, FbF releases humanitarian funding for pre-agreed activities, referred to as early actions. These predefi ned measures aim to minimise the impacts of extreme weather events and save human lives. For early actions to be performed quickly and effi ciently before disaster strikes, funds are allocated automatically when a trigger is reached, based on weather and climate forecasts. This is defi ned in the Early Action Protocol (EAP). A dedicated fi nancing mechanism is key for taking fast and effective action before disaster strikes: Forecast-based Action by the DREF.
