The recent earthquakes that hit Cebu and Bohol has claimed scores of lives have caused untold damages to homes, buildings and even old churches that we, Cebuanos and Boholanos have cherished as part of our heritage. But even more serious is the Dislocation following the quake that left thousands of our countrymen and women without food, water and shelter even as aftershocks and new quakes continue to be felt.

Cebu and Bohol are not spared from the wrath of Super Typhoon Yolanda. Northern part of Cebu is seriously devastated from Catmon, Bogo, San Remigio, Medellin, Daan Bantayan and and Bantayan Island. The Earthquake affected areas in Bohol experience again the impact of Yolanda. We have not been able to provide fully the relief needs of affected communities in Bohol and now we are compelled to give response to affected communities with our Networks in the Northern Part of Cebu and Bohol devastated by Yolanda. In response, the CebuBohol Relief and Rehabilitation Center (CRRC), Community Empowerment Resource Network (CERNET), Southern Partners Fair Trade Center (SPFTC), Central Visayas Farmers Development Center (FARDEC), Women’s Resource Center of the Visayas (WRCV), Iglesia Filipina Independiente- Visayas Mindanao Regional Office for Development (IFI-VIMROD), Visayas Primary Health Care Services (VPHCS), Visayas Human Development Agency (VIHDA), FIsherfolk Development Center (FIDEC), Foundation for Philippine Environment (FPE) -Visayas Unit and other concerned civil society organizations have joined together to form Abag-Central Visayas to answer the need not only for the immediate relief of affected communities but also to begin their long-term rehabilitation.

  • 3 Ecotourism in the Islands
    3│ Ecotourism in the Islands Ecotourism Sites & Activities Bantayan Island, the Camotes Group of Islands and President Carlos P. Garcia Island have a diverse range of high quality natural and man-made attractions, which are ideal for ecotourism development. Its attractions include an extensive system of protected areas such as coral reefs, marine parks and mangrove forests; fine white sand beaches; coves; caves; waterfalls, and; historical sites that could easily be packaged into viable tourism products. At present, tourism activities are limited to the following: rest & relaxation, nature tours, trekking, biking, homestay, and festival celebration. Natural Resource Base The islands' natural resource base comprises mostly of marine and coastal resources, such as marine sanctuaries, coral reserves, beaches, seascapes, caves and mangrove areas. Measures to protect some of the potential ecotourism sites such as the marine protected areas are already in place. Local legislations such as the Municipal Fisheries and Coastal Resource Management Code and the Clean and Green Ordinance are some of the local initiatives taken to protect the coastal resources of the islands. A number of task forces have also been created to ensure the protection of the marine sanctuaries. There is a need though to strengthen some of the measures. Even with the presence of the bodies, violations threaten these protected areas. Marine Protected Areas. The islands boast of successfully-implemented and managed marine protected areas. By virtue of enacted ordinances, the islands have established 56 marine sanctuaries/protected areas, covering more than 1,000 hectares. Almost half (25) of the marine protected areas are found in Bantayan Island.

  • How Might We Make Potable Water Accessible to Far-Flung Communities?
    How might we make potable water accessible to far-fung communities? A challenge brief on the water problem in Sogod, Philippines Social Innovation Challenge | World Vision challenge.worldvision.ca Social Innovation Challenge 2019 l Water 1. INTRODUCTION The Challenge The town of Sogod is a 4th class municipality located in the Province of Cebu which is the home to 34,059 people with a growth rate of 1.89%. Cebu has consistently been among the top 12 provinces with the highest share of poor families in the entire country1. Families in the remote and highland villages of Sogod lack access to clean and safe water. Four years ago, Typhoon Haiyan, one the largest natural disasters in Phillipines history devastated Sogod. It caused massive destruction to houses, crops, livestock and even water sources and further impeded access to save water. Since the typhoon, the cost of transporting water is still a huge challenge for certain households. Consequentially, children in the families still have to walk long distances to fetch and carry water, sacrificing their education and numerous other opportunity costs. The population in Sogod spends up to 18% of their monthly family budget on water, which is easily 15x more than what communities are paying in neighboring communities. This high portion of income dedicated to water results in parents deprioritizing important factors such as proper nutrition for their families and children. Further, the inability of the villagers to obtain safe and potable water poses a significant health risk, especially to children. For most families that fall well below the poverty, the impact on household income is unimaginable and often poor families end up obtaining water from unsafe, infected sources.

  • 96 Some Pertinent Facts About Cebu and Its Leprosy Problem. CEBU Is
    96 LEPROSY REVIEW. Some Pertinent Facts about Cebu and its Leprosy Problem. JOSE RODRIGUEZ, Geography. EBU is an elongated island barely 36 kilometres at Cits widest portion, with a length of 223 kilometres, and a total area of 4,836 square kilometres. The province comprises a considerable number of minor islands, of which only 14 have an area of one square mile or more. The main­ land lies between 123°-17'-34/1 and 124°-4'-4/1 East Longi­ tude, 9°-24'-46/1 and IP-17'-ll/l North Latitude. The highest peak is Mt. Uling, 1,013 metres, located at the central part of the island. From this peak, the land falls gradually on all sides to form the central plateau. The coastal plains are very narrow, widening only around the capital, Cebu, and at the towns of Tuburan and Bogo. The soil is porous and so thin that the coral subsoil crops out of the surface even in the most fertile regions. According to the 1918 census, there are 252,316 hectares of agricultural land of which only 51 per cent. were cultivated. The principal crops are corn, coconuts, sugar-cane, peanuts, bananas, pineapples, camotes, maguey, and kapok. The island is rich in minerals, the most important being coal and gold. The government cement plant at Naga turns out good cement, and the supply of the crude material is unlimited. Good fishingis to be had along the coast. The estimated population of Cebu province as at December 31st, 1929, was 994,365. Climate. There is one first-class meteorological station located at the capital, and five rain stations distributed throughout the province.
