It has been reported primarily from only four main islands of the Philippine archipelago. We have studied it extensively for the past three decades. Using data from 1991 to 1998 as best representing the current status of the species on the island of Mindanao, we estimated the mean nearest-neighbour distances between breeding pairs, with remarkably little variation, to be 12.74 km (n = 13 nests plus six pairs without located nests, se = ±0.86 km, range = 8.3–17.5 km). Forest cover within circular plots based on nearest-neighbour pairs, in conjunction with estimates of remaining suitable forest habitat (approximately 14 000 km2), yield estimates of the maximum number of breeding pairs on Mindanao ranging from 82 to 233, depending on how the forest cover is factored into the estimates. The Philippine Eagle Pithecophaga jefferyi is a large insufficient or unreliable data, and inadequately forest raptor considered to be one of the three reported methods.

  • Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support
    Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support I. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Davao Region still needs to improve its infrastructure facilities and services. While the Davao International Airport has been recently completed, road infrastructure, seaport, and telecommunication facilities need to be upgraded. Flood control and similar structures are needed in flood prone areas while power and water supply facilities are still lacking in the region’s remote and underserved areas. While the region is pushing for increased production of staple crops, irrigation support facilities in major agricultural production areas are still inadequate. Off-site infrastructure in designated tourism and agri-industrial areas are likewise needed to encourage investment and spur economic activities. Accessibility and Mobility through Transport There is a need for the construction of new roads and improvement of the existing road network to provide better access and linkage within and outside the Region as an alternate to existing arterial and local roads. The lack of good roads in the interior parts of the municipalities and provinces connecting to major arterial roads constrains the growth of agriculture and industry in the Region; it also limits the operations of transport services due to high maintenance cost and longer turnaround time. Traffic congestion is likewise becoming a problem in highly urbanized and urbanizing areas like Davao City and Tagum City. While the Region is physically connected with the adjoining regions in Mindanao, poor road condition in some major highways also hampers inter-regional economic activities. The expansion of agricultural activities in the resettlement and key production areas necessitates the opening and construction of alternative routes and farm-to-market roads.

    CIVIL REGISTRATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY: PROBING ICT SUSTAINABILITY JANN BLAIR P. SALINAS Administrative Officer I Davao Oriental Provincial Statistical Office Philippine Statistics Authority [email protected] | 09171039405 ABSTRACT Pursuant to Republic Act 7160, Local Civil Registry Offices (LCROs) are created in each city or municipality to carry out the civil registration functions of the Local Government Unit (LGU). Civil registration is the system by which a government records the vital events of its citizens and residents. Over the last few decades, organizations have shown increased interest in deploying information technology (I.T.) in office environments for they are being challenged with the changes brought by technological innovations. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) started to embrace the changes brought by this innovation through the development of software programs for use by LCROs. This study was mainly undertaken to determine the sustainability of implementing the above-mentioned I.T. resources developed by PSA and the factors affecting its implementation. Data were gathered using a semi-structured interview questionnaire. Follow- up interviews and observations were conducted to gather additional data to strengthen initial results. Data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results revealed that BREQS and CRIS are currently being used by 64% of the LCROs in Davao Oriental while PhilCRIS is currently being used by 91% of the LCROs. Additionally, BREQS, CRIS and PhilCRIS are currently being used by LCROs for an average of 8.8, 14.0 and 2.9 years, respectively. Using these systems, problems are being encountered including bugs/errors of the system and lack of trainings for the in-charge of the system implementation in the LCRO.

The KALAHI–CIDDS National Community-Driven Development Project (KC-NCDDP) spans the whole archipelago, reaching 15 regions, 63 provinces, and 900 municipalities. Poor municipalities covered by the program abound the most in Region V (Bicol) and Region VIII (Eastern Visayas) which are along the country’s eastern seaboard often visited by typhoons. The 900 municipalities do not include yet the 104 poor municipalities in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The NCDDP will include the ARMM, with the development partners supporting the required capacity building for program implementation and the government providing grants for community subprojects. The new regions in the program are Regions I, II, and III, which have small number of poor municipalities. 2. Of particular concern are the provinces that have been affected by Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) in 8 November 2013: Eastern Samar, Western Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Cebu, Iloilo, Capiz, Aklan, and Palawan, and by the Visayas earthquake of 15 October 2013: Bohol and Cebu.
