  • Background Research Report on Northern Catanduanes Bicolano
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2015-002 Background Research Report on Northern Catanduanes Bicolano Leslie Gumba Background Research Report on Northern Catanduanes Bicolano Leslie Gumba SIL International® 2015 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2015-002, September 2015 © 2015 SIL International® All rights reserved Abstract The Northern Catanduanes Bicol language has been a subject of interest for several decades. The language was surveyed in the mid-1980s, and the speakers reportedly were found to be mostly bilingual in either Tagalog or the Southern Catanduanes Bicol [bln] language, the more widely spoken language of the area. The present assessment confirms that the past situation still exists but also indicates that language documentation is desired, possibly along with literature production. This would certainly be needed if the Philippines Department of Education implements mother tongue based multilingual education in the schools of Northern Catanduanes [cts]. iii Contents Abstract 1 Introduction 1.1 Name of people 1.2 Location 1.2.1 Bagamanoc 1.2.2 Caramoran 1.2.3 Pandan 1.2.4 Panganiban 1.2.5 Viga 1.3 Church, mission history and NGOs 1.4 Population and demography 1.5 Politics 2 Languages 2.1 Language name, alternate names and dialects 2.2 Language attitudes and relations to other languages 3 Sociolinguistic context 3.1 History 3.2 Education and literacy 3.3 Studies and research 4 Conclusion and recommendations References 1 1 Introduction The purpose of this study is to review previous research and other background information about the Northern Catanduanes Bicol [cts] language, in order to determine if there is a need for the Translators Association of the Philippines to undertake a project.

  • Conservation Practices at Agojo Marine Park and Sanctuary in Catanduanes, Philippines: Convergence of Initiatives for Eco-Governance
    Conservation practices at Agojo Marine Park and Sanctuary in Catanduanes, Philippines: Convergence of initiatives for eco-governance S.R. Vargas¹, A.V. Asetre² ABSTRACT The Philippines has gained international recognition and respect as a country giving high premium to natural resources management. In the Bicol Region, the most popular strategy for coastal resource management is the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs). The oldest of this is the Agojo Point Fish Sanctuary and Marine Reserve (APFSMR) strategically located along the Lagonoy Gulf of the island province of Catanduanes. The establishment of the MPA in 1993 has holistically addressed the management and conservation issues in the area. Substantial recovery from the previously damaged conditions of the fragile coastal ecosystem has restored biodiversity of its natural resources and has significantly contributed to the enhancement of the quality of life of the stakeholders on the adjoining communities in the municipality of San Andres, Catanduanes. This tangible reward experienced by the residents brings forth dramatic positive change in their attitudes to support the management and conservation initiatives of local government units (LGUs), other government organizations, non-government organizations, people’s organizations, and academic institutions, actively advocating for environmental conservation and protection, building partnerships for the sustainable development of marine resources, and promoting empowerment of coastal communities. Different interventions in the MPA under consideration were employed by the different sectoral groups composed of LGUs, the Philippine Department of Agriculture (DA), mangrove organization, the US Embassy/US Peace Corps Volunteer Program, the Catanduanes State Colleges, Youth Science Clubs, Republic of the Philippines (RP) KR2 Program and the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).

Thus, it is important to determine its impacts on households and the corresponding adaptation actions of government, men and women to determine gender-sensitive measures that can enhance resilience and adaptive capacity of affected sectors. This research work was done in Bula, Camarines Sur. Gender-disaggregated data collected through interview and focus group discussion with husbands and wives were used to determine the impact of Typhoon Nock-ten, the household’s response strategies and the willingness of men and women to pay for different adaptation options.
