We would like to acknowledge the support of LOGOTRI Asia Pacific, LoGoTRI- PhilNet, AECID of the Spanish Government, the Local Government Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED) and the Local Government Academy (LGA). It is timely that development partners and local authorities gather together to share a common perspective and understanding of the implications of climate change adaptation to local economic development. We see the impact of climate change in the global arena. Here in the Philippines –the dry, hot season and rainy season occur in a pattern that defies accurate prediction, departing from what used to be their normal occurrence, notably the El Niño and the La Niña phenomena. But one thing is certain: We are bound to be affected if we are not prepared to cope with the consequences. In the area of local economic development (LED), you have made it to this historic conference to share and learn how development partners and local authorities play a vital role in climate change adaptation.

  • Sylff Community and to Enrich Their Academic Activities
    VOICES from the Sylff Community January 2013 www.sylff.org PREFACE his booklet presenting the many “voices” in the extensive Sylff communi‐ T ty—encompassing 69 universities in 44 countries around the world—is the second to be published, following the inaugural edition of October 2011. It con‐ tains the articles and reports submitted over the past year by current and gradu‐ ated fellows, of whom there are now over 15,000. My first visit to a Sylff institution after becoming president of the Tokyo Foundation in June 2012 was to the American University in Cairo, which cele‐ brated the 20th anniversary of the Sylff program there in November. I was highly impressed by the outstanding fellows from various countries who have graduat‐ ed from AUC and have become socially engaged leaders in their respective communities and countries. As the name of the program indicates, Sylff aims to nurture young leaders capable of charting a better future for all of humankind. Given the globalization and diversification of modern society, the nature of the problems confronting us in countries around the world has also become very diverse. Addressing them requires approaches that recognize such diversity. The kind of leaders we need today must be able to grasp the essence of issues from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective and have the courage, skills, and creativity to find the right path. To nurture such leaders, the Tokyo Foundation plays two basic roles. The first is to work closely with each Sylff institution, including through regular visits, to ensure sound program operations and endowment management.

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY CBMS EXPERIENCE Puerto Princesa City is the main gateway to Palawan, it being the capital city and centrally located in the Province. It is 306 nautical miles southwest of Manila. It has a total land area of 253,982 hectares. It has 66 barangays: 35 urban and 31 rural. The city is known for its bountiful natural resources and pristine environment. But our urban center is relatively very small. It comprises only about 6% of the city’s total land area and 75% of the population reside in the urban and urbanizing areas. The population of the city grew from 60,234 in 1980 to 161,912 in 2000 or from a population density of 24 persons per square kilometer to 64 in 2000. The city is the seat of the provincial government. The capitol and all other branches of national agencies are in the city. Further, the city serves as the main air and sea ports of the province. Most goods and people enter and leave Palawan through this city. It is also the financial and commercial life of the province, the telecommunication hub.

Marquette University, 2021 A poignant photograph on the front page of a leading newspaper in the Philippines showing a woman cradling the lifeless body of her dead partner drew both local and international attention and outcry over the new president’s approach to the “war on drugs.” The purpose of this study was to determine the overarching story told by the photographs of the “war on drugs” in the Philippines. A textual analysis drawing upon both narrative and semiotic analysis was used to examine the settings, characters, plots, and symbolism in 143 photographs of “Killings” and “Protests” drawn from various news media agencies.
