    a group exhibit by Kansilay Visual Arts Society Education has as its ultimate objective the improvement of a person’s quality of life. It offers to underprivileged adults and children a chance to escape from poverty. It is thus an essential tool for the economic, social and cultural development of all populations around the world. KanVas KanVAS (Kansilay Visual Artist Society), is a group of artists (Kansilay Visual Artist Society) unified with the advocacy of documenting people culture, tradition, and heritage through creative visual presentations. The group is composed of artists from different art disciplines and background and aims to impart their insights on life by showing it in their color palettes, strokes, pressure and the way they see their subjects. They are more into the representational approach in painting in which have painted in their subjects in their own interpretation with what it depicts in reality. The group has started it’s journey on 2008 and it’s members are all from Silay City. The group was initially formed to merge other artists from Silay city. They have exhibited their works in Bernardino Jalandoni Museum, Dizon Ramos Museum as well as the Negros Museum all from Negros Occidental. They went on hiatus last 2011 and went back to the scene again last October 11, 2014 with “Palanublion”. This time the members are not exclusively from Silay but also different parts of the Negros Occidental and to further extend their reach.

    Annotated Checklist of Alpheid and Ogyridid Shrimp from the Philippine Archipelago and the South China Sea1

    Annotated Checklist of Alpheid and Ogyridid Shrimp from the Philippine Archipelago and the South China Sea1 DORA M. BANNER and ALBERT H. BANNER Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, Lhiversitv oj Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii 96S22 Abstract. A total of 103 species of alpheid and one ogyridid shrimp are listed as coming from Philippine national waters, of which 55 are new records reported for this paper. From the South China Sea. primarily in the Hong Kong area, a total of 48 species of alpheids are listed, of which 41 arc new records, including one new species of the genus Athitnas. As 35 of the listed species are shared between the two areas, the total number of species is 1 16. Introduction This paper is one in our continuing series to increase the knowledge of the distributional patterns of the alpheid shrimp in the Indo-Pacific. The primary focus is upon the alpheids of the Philippine Archipelago and we hope we have covered all references in the literature to records of capture for that area. For reasons given below, we have supplemented the Philippine records with records of species from the South China Sea, mainly in vicinity of Hong Kong. The bulk of the records are upon previously unreported collections, mostly our own personal collections and those of the Hong Kong Fisheries Research Station. The listing is presented in the form of an annotated check list. We do not believe that the list will be found to be exhaustive for either area and we present it merely as a point of departure for future workers in the field.
