    World Chambers Competition Best job creation and business development project Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry The Philippines FINALIST I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (NOCCI), being the only recognized voice of business in the Province of Negros Oriental, Philippines, developed the TIP PROJECT or the TRADE TOURISM and INVESTMENT PROMOTION ("TIP" for short) PROJECT to support its mission in conducting trade, tourism and investment promotion, business development activities and enhancement of the business environment of the Province of Negros Oriental. The TIP Project was conceptualized during the last quarter of 2013 and was launched in January, 2014 as the banner project of the Chamber to support its new advocacy for inclusive growth and local economic development through job creation and investment promotion. The banner project was coined from the word “tip” - which means giving sound business advice or sharing relevant information and expertise to all investors, businessmen, local government officials and development partners. The TIP Project was also conceptualized to highlight the significant role and contribution of NOCCI as a champion for local economic development and as a banner project of the Chamber to celebrate its Silver 25th Anniversary by December, 2016. For two years, from January, 2015 to December, 2016, NOCCI worked closely with its various partners in local economic development like the Provincial Government, Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), Non- Government Organizations (NGOs), Industry Associations and international funding agencies in implementing its various job creation programs and investment promotion activities to market Negros Oriental as an ideal investment/business destination for tourism, retirement, retail, business process outsourcing, power/energy and agro-industrial projects.

Together with our generous donors, tireless staff, supportive community and of course inspiring young girls, we have been able to open our new center in Silay, Negros Occidental. With the opening of this new center, we hope to extend the help and support we provide to more young girls and to more communities in the Philippines. We are grateful to our international sponsors for their unending support to our various programs. Worth mentioning are the contributions of Cooperation Humanitaire Luxembourg and Zonta International. Thank you to the ladies of Zonta for providing our girls with an IT training grant which has become a necessity in today’s technology-driven world. It warms the heart to know that CAMELEON’s efforts have again been recognized locally, this time by the Regional Development Committee of Region VI as it awards CAMELEON as one of the NGOs in the region with best practices in rehabilitation and empowerment of the youth. ATTY. JOSE COCHINGYAN III As we close another year, we are reminded of the reason why we do what we do – to help our survivors regain a sense of control over PRESIDENT/CHAIRMAN their bodies and hopefully foster a safer environment where our children can grow up with a sense of security and freedom.

  • Field-Specific Nitrogen Management for Sugarcane Using Electrical Conductivity In-Situ Measurements
    Int. J. Agron. Agri. R.

Relationship of field EC (in-situ measurement) with other soil physico-chemical properties such as texture, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, total N, available P and exchangeable bases including K, Ca and Mg were established. Soil samples representing the following series; Guimbalaon (Typic Hapludands), Silay (Aquic Hapludalfs), Manapla (Typic Hapludults), Pulupandan (Typic Ustipsamments), San Manuel (Typic Eutrudepts), La Castellana (Typic Humitrudepts) and Bago (Vertic Argiudolls) in La Carlota Sugar Mill District, Negros Occidental, Philippines were studied. Significant positive relationships were observed between field EC and soil pH (r=0.51*), laboratory EC (r=0.59*), CEC (r=0.74**), clay content (r=0.74**) and exchangeable Ca (r=0.79**) and Mg (r=0.86**), while negative correlation was noted between field EC and sand content (r=-0.57*).

  • Birds from Canlaon Volcano in the Highlands of Negros Island in the Philippines
    July, 1956 283 BIRDS FROM CANLAON VOLCANO IN THE HIGHLANDS OF NEGROS ISLAND IN THE PHILIPPINES By S. DILLON RIPLEY and D. S. RABOR Several ornithological collectors have worked on Negros Island, which is the fourth largest of the 7090 islands that form the Philippine Archipelago. However, John White- head, the famous English naturalist, was the only person who collected extensively in the highlands of this island. Whitehead worked on the slopes of Canlaon Volcano, in the north-central section in March and April, 1896. Since that time no other collector has visited this volcano until April and May, 1953, when one of us, Rabor, collected in prac- tically the same places in which Whitehead worked. This study of the birds of the high- lands of Negros Island was carried on chiefly through the aid of the Peabody Museum of Natural History of Yale University. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY OF THE COLLECTING LOCALITIES The principal central mountain chain traverses Negros Island from its northeast corner south to the southern end. This range lies closer to the east side than to the west and forms a divide throughout the extent of the island. A dormant volcano, Canlaon, with an elevation of about 8200 feet, is the most prominent peak in the north-central section of the mountain chain, and it is easily the dominant landmark of the western coastal plain. Many of the mountains of Negros Island are volcanic (Smith, 1924). The north- western region, where most of the sugar cane is grown, is mainly of volcanic origin, whereas the southeastern portion consists of folded and faulted plutonic rocks, slates, and jaspers, probably of Mesozoic Age, and some Tertiary extrusives, all more or less dissected and worn down by erosion.

Espiridion PNOC Energy Development Corporation, Merritt Road, Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila 1201, Philippines [email protected] Commission IV, WG IV/7 KEYWORDS: Airborne SAR, Topographic SAR, Polarimetric SAR, DEM, aerial photography, high resolution, hillshading ABSTRACT: A remote sensing study of the Northern Negros Geothermal Project (NNGP) was conducted using Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) AND JERS-1 SAR images. A digital elevation model (DEM) was generated from the topographic SAR (TOPSAR) data sets where various hillshading maps were extracted to emphasize the general geology and the structural configuration of the study area. Due to the high resolution of the imagery, geologic mapping interpretations were done to refine the traditional and existing aerial photography interpretations including the volcanic history and its implication to the project. The over-all result of this study have dealt with (1) the delineation of the semi-detailed geology at NNGP, thereby, giving way to the reinterpretation of the volcanic history of Canlaon volcano; (2) refinement of the structural map of Panem and Leynes (1996) with the establishment of chronological order of fault events where NW, WNW and ENE
