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.

  • AIR FORCE REVIEW Vol 1, No 1 TAKING OFF
    AIR FORCE REVIEW Vol 1, No 1 TAKING OFF Lt Col Jose Tony E Villarete PAF Director, Office of Special Studies In line with the vision of the Commanding General Philippine Air Force, LTGEN BENJAMIN P DEFENSOR JR AFP, of a faster, stronger and better Philippine Air Force, the Office of Special Studies (OSS) has come up with this new version of PAF doctrine and strategy publication. The Air Force Review, successor of the OSS Digest is published quarterly, aims to increase the AFP personnel’s awareness of the existing doctrines of the PAF and activities related to doctrines development and to stimulate discussions about air power, strategic development and matters affecting national security. In an effort to keep pace with the CG’s vision, this maiden issue is an attempt to produce a responsibly faster publication through the dedication and devotion of the reinvigorated editorial staff. Contributions from the major units and the different functional staffs, as well as from the visiting fellows sent to RAAF Aerospace Center, were solicited. Likewise, variety of topics were covered from a wider sources, ensuring a stronger base of ideas for the publication. We continuously strive to come up with articles that would contribute towards better doctrines and strategy, which, separately or collectively, add value to the service the Philippine Air Force provides to the country and people. For this year, the OSS intends to focus on air power awareness through multi- media methodology, doctrine formulation and revision, initiating the review and revisions of the PAF Basic Doctrine, developing a relevant air strategy, and conducting “conceptual” activities such as the CG’s PAF Annual Air Power Symposium, regular publication of the Air Force Review and holding of the Doctrine Family Conference.

  • Comparative Connections a Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
    Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations US-Southeast Asia Relations: Philippines – An Exemplar of the US Rebalance Sheldon Simon Arizona State University The Philippines under President Benigno Aquino III has linked its military modernization and overall external defense to the US rebalance. Washington has raised its annual military assistance by two-thirds to $50 million and is providing surplus military equipment. To further cement the relationship, Philippine and US defense officials announced that the two countries would negotiate a new “framework agreement” under the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty providing for greater access by US forces to Philippine bases and the positioning of equipment at these facilities. Washington is also stepping up participation in ASEAN-based security organizations, sending forces in June to an 18-nation ASEAN Defense Ministers Plus exercise covering military medicine and humanitarian assistance in Brunei. A July visit to Washington by Vietnam’s President Truong Tan Sang resulted in a US-Vietnam Comprehensive Partnership, actually seen as a step below the Strategic Partnerships Hanoi has negotiated with several other countries. Myanmar’s president came to Washington in May, the first visit by the country’s head of state since 1966. An economic agreement was the chief deliverable. While President Obama praised Myanmar’s democratic progress, he also expressed concern about increased sectarian violence that the government seems unable (or unwilling) to bring under control. The rebalance and the Philippines While the Obama administration’s foreign and defense policies’ rebalance to Asia is portrayed as a “whole of government” endeavor, involving civilian as well as security agencies, its military components have received the most attention, especially in Southeast Asia.
