This genus has more than 30 Peninsula, South Korea and Japan. It is the Drosera spe- species in the Philippines, all except Nepenthes mirabilis (Lour.) cies covering the largest range, spanning the entire Northern Druce endemic to the country.

Kiamo, Malaybalay, Bukidnon last December of 2015 to December, 2016. Field Fulgent Coritico Center for Biodiversity Research sampling was performed using a combination of belt transect, opportunistic and random sampling and Extension in Mindanao techniques. Field investigations were done in two vegetation types with elevation from 750-1,500 meters (CEBREM), Central Mindanao above sea level (masl), which include the lower montane (750-1,000 masl) and upper montane (1,000- University, Musuan, Bukidnon, 1,500 masl) forests. Baseline data on species richness and local distribution were documented. A total of Philippines 239 individuals belonging to 20 species and 3 genera viz., Pachyrhynchus, Homalocyrtus and Metapocyrtus were collected from the two vegetation types. The upper montane forest had higher species Alma B Mohagan richness with 12 species as compared to the lower montane forest with 10 species.

  • The Indigenous Peoples of Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park
    Case study The Indigenous Peoples of Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park Ma. Easterluna Luz S. Canoy and Vellorimo J. Suminguit Ancestral home The Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park (MKRNP) in north- central Mindanao is home to three non-Christian and non- Muslim indigenous groups who refer to themselves as Talaandigs, Higaonons and Bukidnons. These indigenous inhabitants are known collectively as Bukidnon, a Bisayan word for “people from the mountain,” and they share a common culture and a common language, the Binukid. According to Talaandig tradition, most of Bukidnon was the land of the Talaandig, the people of the slopes (andig). When the coastal dwellers moved to the uplands, the Talaandig referred to them as “Higaonon” because the latter came from down the shore (higa). The Higaonon claim that their ancestors were coastal dwellers and were the original inhabitants of Misamis Oriental. However, the arrival of the dumagat (people from over the sea) during the Spanish times encouraged the natives to move up to the plateaus or uplands, which now belong mostly to Bukidnon province. The Higaonon today occupy communities north of Malaybalay down to the province of Misamis Oriental, while Talaandigs live in communities south of Malaybalay, around Lantapan and Talakag (Suminguit et al. 2001). According to tradition, as recounted in an epic tale called the olaging (a story chanted or narrated for hours), a common ancestor and powerful datu (chieftain) named Agbibilin sired four sons who became the ancestors of the present-day Manobo, Talaandig, Maranao, and Maguindanao. Tribal legend has it that Agbibilin named the mountain Kitanglad, from tanglad (lemon grass), a medicinal plant that was associated with the visible portion of the peak left when the mountain was almost submerged during the Great Deluge.
