The Negrito, the United States Navy, and JEST
The Negrito, the United States Navy, and JEST The Aeta. The first peoples of the Philippines. Fond friends of American veterans. This is a story about survival. In war. In peace The Spanish called them “Negrito”. So, did we. However, they are the “Aeta” or Agta or Ayta, a jungle people whose tribal ancestry traces back over twenty thousand years on the island of Luzon, Republic of the Philippines. When these small dark-skinned people precisely came to the Philippine archipelago is uncertain, just as it is uncertain if they came by canoe like so many of earlier indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia, Australia and the South Pacific, or if they arrived by a long-lost land bridge. Originally seldom exceeding four feet in height, these aboriginal Aeta were the first Filipinos. I know who were the first Americans. A U.S. Naval Station was established in 1905 at Olongapo and this photograph of the Aeta with Commander Chester M. Knepper and USMC Maurice E. Shearer was taken in 1910. This ancestry did not mean a great deal to the Sailors and Marines who were stationed on the former United States Naval Base on famous Subic Bay; or those in transit going to and from a war in Vietnam; or those who came ashore on liberty from a ship; or the war weary looking for Rest and Relaxation (R&R) and a famous ice-cold San Miguel beer. The Aeta were just there, as they had been for centuries. They were an everyday presence on the Navy’s most important military base in Asia and the largest outside the United States, a Naval installation that originally became ours thanks to Admiral George Dewey and the Spanish-American War. -
Habitat Selection of Endangered and Endemic Large Flying-Foxes in Subic

Scott Mills c a c/o US Peace Corps, Patio Madrigal Compound, 2775 Roxas Blvd., Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines b 9872 Isarog St. Umali Subdivision, Los Baños, Laguna 4031, Philippines c Wildlife Biology Program, School of Forestry, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812-0596, USA Received 6 June 2004 Available online 5 July 2005 Abstract Large Xying-foxes in insular Southeast Asia are the most threatened of the Old World fruit bats due to high levels of deforestation and hunting and eVectively little local conservation commitment. The forest at Subic Bay, Philippines, supports a rare, large colony of vulnerable Philippine giant fruit bats (Pteropus vampyrus lanensis) and endangered and endemic golden-crowned Xying-foxes (Acerodon jubatus). These large Xying-foxes are optimal for conservation focus, because in addition to being keystone, Xagship, and umbrella species, the bats are important to Subic Bay’s economy and its indigenous cultures. Habitat selection information stream- lines management’s eVorts to protect and conserve these popular but threatened animals. We used radio telemetry to describe the bats’ nighttime use of habitat on two ecological scales: vegetation and microhabitat. The fruit bats used the entire 14,000 ha study area, including all of Subic Bay Watershed Reserve, as well as neighboring forests just outside the protected area boundaries. Their recorded foraging locations ranged between 0.4 and 12 km from the roost. -

American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Memorial Society
STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD to the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee and House Veterans' Affairs Committee Joint Hearing To Receive Legislative Presentations of Veterans Service Organizations By Jan Thompson President American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Memorial Society 3 March 2020 AMERICAN PRISONERS OF WAR OF JAPAN 75th Anniversary of Liberation Chairmen Moran and Takano, Ranking Members Tester and Roe, and Members of the Senate and House Veterans Affairs Committees, thank you for allowing us to describe how Congress can meet the concerns of veterans of World War II’s Pacific Theater. The American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Memorial Society (ADBC-MS) represents surviving POWs of Japan, their families, and descendants, as well as scholars, researchers, and archivists. Our goal is to preserve the history of the American POW experience in the Pacific and to teach future generations of the POWs’ sacrifice, courage, determination, and faith—the essence of the American spirit. Today, 75 years ago, the Battle of Manila ended. The Japanese did not let liberation come without a cost. The “Pearl of the Orient” was in ruins, hundreds had been raped, and over 100,000 civilians killed. Historians have described the aftermath as less a battlefield than a crime scene. On the eve of and during the battle, U.S. troops swept into POW and civilian internment camps throughout the Philippine islands liberating thousands of Americans who were reportedly hours away from execution. This year, 2020, is the 75th anniversary of the final battles of World War II. Whereas Nazi Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945, Imperial Japan fought on until August 15, 1945. -

DIETARY HABITS OF TWO THREATENED CO- ROOSTING FLYING FOXES (MEGACHIROPTERA), SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES By Samuel Cord Stier B.A. Brown University, 1990 Presented in partial fnlfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science The University of Montana 2003 Approved by: Dr. Stephen F. Siebert, Chairperson Dean, Graduate School Date Stier, Sam C., M.S., May 2003 Forestry Dietary Habits of Two Threatened Co Roosting- Flying Foxes (Megachiroptera), Subic Bay, Philippines Director: Dr. Stephen F. Siebert I studied the dietary habits of two threatened flying fox species, Acerodon juhatus and Pteropus vampyrus, at Subic Bay, Philippines, in an effort to provide managers with information useful for protected area zoning, compatible use planning, hunter education/regulation, and forest restoration design. The results also provide insight into the autecology and interspecific relationships of these co roosting- species. I used fecal analysis, interviews of bat hunters, and personal observations to describe the dietary habits of both bat species. Dietary items were deemed ‘important’ if used consistently on a seasonal basis or throughout the year, ubiquitously throughout the population, and if they were of known nutritional importance. Of the 771 droppings examined over a 2.5 year period, seeds from Ficus spp. were predominant in the droppings of both species and met these criteria, particularly hemi epiphytic- species (41% of A. jubatus droppings) and Ficus variegata (34% of P. vampyrus droppings, 22% of A. jubatus droppings). Information from bat hunter interviews expanded the knowledge of dietary composition of both bat species, and corroborated the fecal analyses and personal observations. Results from this study suggestXhdLt A. -

Manufacturing Philippine Projects INDUSTRIAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT IN REDONDO PENINSULA Description Redondo Peninsula covers over 2,000 hectares of land. However, only a portion of this can be developed for heavy industry. Currently, a shipbuilding firm with 300-hectare shipyard is operating in this district. The available lots in Redondo Peninsula are the 20 hectares located at Sitio Nagbayukan and the 86 hectares at the tip. In order to maximize the economic value of Redondo Peninsula as the Freeport’s strategic industrial estate, an industrial park for heavy industries can be developed in the said area like ship repair, shipbuilding, steel fabrication for offshore platform and other related industries.

Malabon City, Philippines ROUTE to ZERO-WASTE a Flood-Prone City Shows How It’S Done
ROUTE TO ZERO WASTE A Flood-Prone City Shows How It’s Done ZERO WASTE CITIES ASIA SERIES Malabon City, Philippines ROUTE TO ZERO-WASTE A Flood-Prone City Shows How It’s Done alabon City, a highly-urbanized city in Metro Manila, MPhilippines, has to deal with massive flooding during the rainy season — and even during the off-season when heavy rains suddenly occur. It is a catch basin of neighboring cities as it lies below sea level on flat terrain so when the rain pours, almost half of it is submerged in water. Although its topography may be one of the factors for the city’s flooding problem, the volume of waste generated by the residents also adds to the problem as Malabon is also a densely populated city with 400,000 residents living in a total land area of 19.76 km2. These factors made it seem hopeless for the city to take on the gargantuan task of dealing with its daily waste. But its largest and most-populous barangay, Potrero, with 54,000 residents from approximately 13,500 families, took on the challenge and emerged successful.
