PREFACE The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), through its Mission to the Philippines, has contracted Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) to implement the Environmental Governance 2 Project (EcoGov 2) under Contract 492-C-00-04-00037-00. The effective date of the contract is October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2009, with a two year option period to September 30, 2011. DAI implements the project with the assistance of four Filipino organizations – Orient Integrated Development Consultants, Inc. (OIDCI); Resources, Environment and Economic Center for Studies (REECS); the University of the Philippines Marine Environment and Resources Foundation (MERF); and Cesar Virata & Associates (CVAI) – and two American firms – the Deloitte Emerging Markets Group (EMG) and The Media Network. Prior to the close of each operating year, the Contract requires DAI to submit an annual work plan covering a period of fifteen months. Per the Contract, the work plan should present the performance objectives for the period, the expected activities, the relationship between the activities/objectives and overall contract objectives, the completion date for the activities, cost estimates for major contract elements, and critical assumptions to accomplish the work. Concurrent with submission of the work plan, DAI also submits a pipeline budget for the remainder of the period of performance. This work plan consists of three major sections. The first is an overview of the project and the strategies for implementing the 2005/2006 work plan. The work plan then presents detailed plans for each of six Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), which themselves correspond to the target areas in the Contract Scope of Work. The final section consists of Gantt charts showing an estimated timeline for each activity area. This work plan follows from the Life of Project Work Plan, submitted in December, 2004, and from feedback from the Philippines Department of Environment and Natural Resources and other counterparts at a workshop at Clark Field on August 31 and September 1, 2005. The document was originally submitted on September 30, 2005. The revised and final version here reflects the comments of USAID on October 17, 2005. Ernesto S. Guiang Development Alternatives, Inc.

Burgos Street, Manila, Philippines. 5 Present Address: Museum of Natural Science, 119 Foster Hall, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803–3216, USA. (with 33 text-figures) ABSTRACT.– We present species accounts for 19 amphibians (frogs) and 30 reptiles (19 lizards, 10 snakes, and one turtle) collected at localities within the central Sierra Madre Mountains in Aurora Province, Luzon, Philippines. Despite its close proximity to Manila, this heavily forested site produced several significant discoveries. Specimens collected during this expedition contributed to the type series of the newly-described Rana tipanan, Platymantis sierramadrensis and Sphenomorphus tagapayo. Notable collections of poorly known species include specimens referable to Brachymeles bicolor and Sphenomorphus leucospilos, two species previously known only from two specimens each. Unidentified and possibly undescribed species include two unusual specimens referable to the genus Platymantis and a single specimen of the genus Sphenomorphus. That so many discoveries could be produced in such a short survey effort (less than two weeks) further emphasizes the degree to which the amphibian and reptile populations in the mountains of Luzon are drastically understudied.
