Thank you. Guadalupe M. Dejarme-Calalang iv Abstract This PhD research work is a contribution to the umbrella research project in Mindanao, Philippines entitled “Establishing strategic partnership in research to strengthen local governance in land and water management for greater human security in Mindanao (EPaM)” which was supported by the Cooperation of Universities for Development - Inter University Program (CUD-PIC) of Belgium with the long term objective to capacitate local entities in managing land and water resources in their jurisdiction. As part of the CUD-PIC project, the research has two objectives: (1) the establishment of a Soil Reference System (SRS) to respond to the needs of soil information for scientific bases in land use planning and agricultural development at the local level, and (2) the use of this established SRS as a pertinent tool for agricultural extension services to local farmers on soil management and crop production. The specific study locations were Miarayon, Talakag and Bendum, Malaybalay City of the Bukidnon Province. The study had four sub components: (i) the geomorphopedological identification of potentialities and constraints, (ii) the soil fertility assessment with predominant crop yields to initiate a SRS as bases for monitoring in the future, (iii) the soil fertility assessment and calibrating using a test plant in a pot experiment, and (iv) the information integration of the SRS for highland areas in Mindanao, Bukidnon. Miarayon and Bendum soils are both derived from volcanic parent materials, but their development differs by duration and rock origin. Bendum soils are derived from ultramafic rocks in the periods of Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene and Oligocene Lower Miocene while Miarayon soils originated from pyroclastic rocks of the Pliocene-Quaternary period. Dominance of total elements in soils of both areas is due to either natural causes or anthropogenic activities. The dominance of Mg in Bendum rocks is effectively due to its ultramafic parent rock materials while in Miarayon the prevalence of Ca is due to the application of chicken dung in which chicken feed formulas have Ca additives. Moreover Miarayon soils have in general higher organic matter content and more available nutrients v than Bendum soils. The encroachment of cultivation on the steep slopes in both areas indicates the high demand of lands for production in the highlands. Crops in Miarayon which are intended for the market are short term, such as vegetables, with a growing season of three to four months. Bendum crops that are for the market are perennial ones such as rubber and coffee and therefore are long term crops, and abaca which are for fiber materials. Food crop in Miarayon is corn while in Bendum is corn and sweet potato. Crop yields are indicators of soil fertility and crop management in a given prevailing climate. In Miarayon soils, there is a good relationship between the yields of potato and TOC, TN, Ca and Mg. There is also a good relationship between yields of corn and Ca and Mg. The robustness of relationships is shown in spite of few observations. A pot experiment was carried out to test the response of a plant to different soil types. Results on plant nutrient analyses had shown the transfer of elements, from parent rock materials, to soil formation and until the nutrient absorption by the test plant. Results had corroborated the findings in literature researches about which nutrients are prevalently assimilated by test plants. The methodology used in this SRS shall serve as template for instruction and research on soils in Mindanao.

  • CASE STUDY of LGU-PO PARTNERSHIP in PANGANTUCAN, BUKIDNON Felipe S
    CASE 4 CASE STUDY OF LGU-PO PARTNERSHIP IN PANGANTUCAN, BUKIDNON Felipe S. Ramiro, Jr. 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Area Profile The Municipality of Pangantucan is at the southwestern part of the province of Bukidnon, Mindanao. With a land area of 49,394 hectares, Pangantucan is the ninth largest among Bukidnon's 22 municipalities. Its year 2000 population was estimated at 42,250 people, divided into dumagats (settlers) and lumads (indigenous people). Pangantucan has an agricultural economy. Of its total land area, 30,131 ha. (61%) are rolling areas that can support agriculture through intensive and systematic soil management. Only 6,916 ha. (14%) are plain areas, fit for agriculture and requiring only minimal soil management. Most of the cultivated land is planted to corn (69.47%), rice (16.19%) and sugarcane (11.91%), although of late, more corn lands are being converted to sugarcane. Land distribution in Pangantucan was included in the first phase of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program in 1988. Today, only a handful of landholdings remains to be distributed by the Department of Agrarian Reform. In 1997, Pangantucan had 273 registered commercial enterprises, four of them considered large-scale. Most are buy-and-sell operations, concentrated in Barangay Poblacion (center). Local Government Profile The Pangantucan government wants the municipality to become an agro-industrial area by promoting "the attainment of local autonomy, increased profitable economies, and productive agricultural activities." The mayor, Antonio M. Garces, is a first-termer. His agenda includes reorganizing the local bureaucracy and attending to the needs of farmers. For the farmers, he wants to strengthen existing cooperatives, provide infrastructure like farm-to-market roads and improve the delivery of basic services.

  • Investing in Rivers Can Help PHL Bag ‘First World’ Status by Jonathan L
    Investing in rivers can help PHL bag ‘First World’ status By Jonathan L. Mayuga JANUARY 29, 2017 | BUSINESS MIRROR In photo: An early morning scene at a fishing village on the Agusan River in the eastern part of Mindanao. Part One THE proper utilization of the country’s rivers and its raw water supply, a major economic resource in the Philippines, can provide the much-needed boost to help the country sustain growth and achieve the status of a First World economy, the country’s top environment official said. Citing the case of Singapore, Secretary Regina Paz L. Lopez of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Denr) said properly managing the country’s rivers is the key to sustaining the country’s growth and development. The key to Singapore’s phenomenal economic growth, she said, was the cleaning of the Singapore River, allowing it to spur economic activities, generate income and provide employment through tourism. Following the footsteps of Singapore and other first-world economies, the Philippines should be able to sustain growth by optimizing the ecosystems services provided by rivers and its abundant supply of freshwater, Lopex said. “The key to all the other first- world economies was the cleaning of their rivers; from Germany to France, to Korea,” says Lopez, an environmental advocate who once led the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission, the agency tasked to rehabilitate one of the country’s most polluted. “So the recipe works.” The Denr, the agency mandated to manage the country’s natural wealth, is implementing various programs geared toward protecting and conserving the country’s rivers.

There was virtually an infinite G space for a child to roam, several trees to climb and diverse places to explore. Summertime was always fun. Our days were filled with various activities. The Jamandre Village kids played around the peanut fields across the valley, or gather mushrooms after a thunderstorm. Snakes? I came face to face with one when we lived at the old sawmill (Mt. Nebo) location. One evening I bent down to pick up a piece of firewood from a pile behind the house. In the dim light of the kerosene lamp, I saw the silhouette of a cobra positioned to strike. I ran for dear life! I was six years old. There is no wonder I have extreme fear of snakes to this day! A couple of months ago my sister, Virgie and I visited MVC. We recalled some of the fun experiences. “Ate, can you remember ….” ...the waterhole? One day we saw frog eggs and decided to jump into the muddy water to push the eggs to the sides so they won’t be “disturbed,” when the carabao (water buffalo) wallows in the water.
