Province Name REGION V BICOL REGION Overview The Bicol Region is located in the southernmost tip of Luzon, which lies at 123 to 126 degrees longitude and 12 to 14 degrees latitude or generally at the mid-section of the country. It has a total land area of 17,362 square kilometers representing 5.67% share of the Philippines in terms of land area. The region is the gateway of Luzon to the Visayas and Mindanao and is within the international seas, hence, the gateway to the Pacific. Located in the heart of the industrialized countries, the place would serve as a jumping board for market and business in the Pacific Rim, Europe, and the United States. Bicol is accessible by land from Manila and the rest of Luzon thru the Maharlika and Quirino Highways. From the Visayas and Mindanao islands, it can be reached via the Matnog ferry terminal. Manila is about 10 hours away from Legaspi City. It is serviced by major bus lines traversing the Manila-Bicol route.

  • Cecilia Fe L Sta Maria1 Monumentalizing the Urban and Concealing the Rural/Coastal a Spatial Reading of Matnog, Sorsogon, Philip
    Cecilia Fe L Sta Maria1 Monumentalizing the urban and concealing the rural/coastal A Spatial Reading of Matnog, Sorsogon, Philippines DOI: 10.18030/socio.hu.2016en.62 Abstract A discursive reading on how urban ideology is monumentalized, this article peels on the spatial experi- ence of Matnog, Sorsogon as it transitions from a rural/coastal nature to the urban. Taking a spatial perspec- tive, with theoretical underpinnings from Lefebvre’s concept of ‘oeuvre’, interlaced with Bourdieu’s take on social space and Giddens’ arguments on historical time, the article elaborates on the spatial machinations orchestrated to construct polemical spaces that deftly conceal spaces occupied by the poor. Extrapolating from photographs and maps of the place, field notes and interviews with Matnog residents who come from the low-income bracket, elucidated spatial consequences that weave discourses on the spatial problematic that unfolds through the shift in social space and historical time, consequential to the silencing of social differences in the transitioning spaces. Key words: rural and coastal area, urban, space transition, Philippines, spatial consequence 1 College of Arts and Communication, University of the Philippines Baguio 62 Cecilia Fe L Sta Maria Monumentalizing the urban and concealing the rural/coastal A Spatial Reading of Matnog, Sorsogon, Philippines Introduction The Philippines, with its three main islands: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, is composed of 7,107 islands. With a history of colonization that ended in the 1940s, the country has adopted varied cultural influences. Currently, the country is establishing its status as an emerging country in Asia and moving towards develop- ment, but what is observable is that the policies crafted are still patterned after the colonialists, specifically the Americans.

  • 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.
