  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines

    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

    Chapter 26: Philippines

    26 Philippines 26.1 Summary of Coal Industry 26.1.1 ROLE OF COAL IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES Currently, coal-fired thermal power plants remain the number one producer of electricity and accounted for a total of 5,568 megawatts (MW), or 33 percent, of the Republic of the Philippines’ total installed power generating capacity in 2012 (PDOE, 2014a). The Philippines consumed 16.3 million tonnes (Mmt) of coal in 2012, around 75 percent of which was for power generation (EIA, 2014; Ocampo, 2012). The Philippines relies on imports to meet coal demand, importing 10.6 Mmt from Indonesia and 277 thousand tonnes from Vietnam in 2011 (Ocampo, 2012). The Philippine Energy Plan 2012-2030 (PEP) projects coal demand to increase by more than 70 percent between 2012 and 2030 (PDOE, 2014b). The country’s recoverable coal reserves, as shown in Table 26-1, are estimated at 315 Mmt, with most reserves as lignite. Total coal resources compiled by the Geothermal and Coal Resources Development Division (GCRDD) of the Department of Energy of the Philippines, are estimated at a minimum of 2,268.4 Mmt (USGS, 2006). The Philippines produced 8.0 Mmt of coal in 2012, the highest annual production to date. Coal production is increasing rapidly, more than doubling between 2008 and 2012 (EIA, 2014). The PEP projects domestic coal production to continue to increase, reaching more than 11 Mmt in 2015 and more than 12.5 Mmt in 2020 (PDOE, 2014b). Table 26-1. Philippines’ Coal Reserves and Production Sub- Anthracite & bituminous Total Global Rank Indicator Bituminous & Lignite (million tonnes) (# and %) (million tonnes) (million tonnes) Estimated Proved Coal Reserves 41 275 315 41 (0.04%) (2011) Annual Coal Production (2012) 8.0 0.0 8.0 29 (0.10%) Source: EIA (2014) The combined lignite and sub-bituminous coal reserves of the Philippines, including indicated and inferred reserves, are about 1,899.2 Mmt, which make up about 84 percent of the total coal reserves of the Philippines.

    ADDRESSING ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES Second-largest archipelago in the world comprising 7,641 islands Current population is 100 million, but projected to reach 125 million by 2030; most people, particularly the poor, depend on biodiversity 114 species of amphibians 240 Protected Areas 228 Key Biodiversity Areas 342 species of reptiles, 68% are endemic One of only 17 mega-diverse countries for harboring wildlife species found 4th most important nowhere else in the world country in bird endemism with 695 species More than 52,177 (195 endemic and described species, half 126 restricted range) of which are endemic 5th in the world in terms of total plant species, half of which are endemic Home to 5 of 7 known marine turtle species in the world green, hawksbill, olive ridley, loggerhead, and leatherback turtles ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE The value of Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is estimated at $10 billion–$23 billion per year, making wildlife crime the fourth most lucrative illegal business after narcotics, human trafficking, and arms. The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential

Despite recent increase on odonatological data from various islands in the Philippines, these two remote islands have never been explored. Hence, a short survey was conducted on first week of April and November 7 – No- vember 14, 2010 on all freshwater systems in these two islands.
