Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.

Romero College of Fisheries, Mindanao State University Tawi-Tawi Sanga-sanga, Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, Philippines Email: [email protected] After the successful culture of Eucheuma in Siasi, Sulu by the group of the late Dr. Maxwell Doty, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi became the first provinces to adopt and innovate on the technology. Seaweed farming in the Sulu archipelago became a major livelihood second to fishing especially among the coastal dwellers. Seaweed farming improved not only the living conditions of the populace but also in part helped solve the insurgency problem. However, until today some farmers still remain poor despite the economic benefits they obtain from the industry. This may be due to the different problems that beset the industry, which affect them economically. This paper deals on seaweed farming in the Sulu Archipelago especially Tawi-Tawi, its problems and its impact on the environment. Seaweed farming The fixed off-bottom and floating methods are the most common methods used in seaweed farming in the Sulu Archipelago.

    0 SITUATION ANALYSIS Children in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao FINAL DRAFT 1 Note on the Geographic Focus of the Report This Situation Analysis of Children in BARMM is a UNICEF contribution to knowledge on the situation of children in the Philippines. It follows the recent publication of the Government- UNICEF report on the national Situation Analysis of Children in the Philippines. The report was prepared by UNICEF in consultation with the Regional Government of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). While the data was collected under the Regional Government of ARMM during 2017, the analysis does not change significantly under the new BARMM geographic area and highlights significant multi-dimensional bottlenecks in the delivery of and access to key social services. The report shows that outcomes for children are significantly worse for children and highlights the need for additional and accelerated support within BARMM, if the Philippines is to reach the SDG targets.

  • The Boats of the Tawi-Tawi Bajau, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines
    The Boats of the Tawi-Tawi Bajau, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines Received 20 February 1990 H. ARLO NIMMO ISLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA has perhaps the greatest variety of watercraft of any culture area in the world. Through centuries of adaptation to tropical riverine and maritime environments, the people of this island world have created hundreds-indeed, prob­ ably thousands-of different kinds of boats. The primitive rafts that first transported the early inhabitants to offshore islands evolved into the sophisticated sailing vessels that allowed this population to become the most far-flung on earth before the expan­ sion of European cultures. By the time Europeans began to venture beyond their shores, Austronesian speakers had spread throughout all of Island Southeast Asia, west to Madagascar, north to Taiwan, and east to Micronesia, parts of Melanesia, and the outposts of Polynesia. Perusal of a map of Island Southeast Asia explains the proliferation of watercraft in this area. Thousands of islands make up the modern nations of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, and one can sail within sight of land throughout the entire area before reaching its outer limits. The lure of these islands to the always curious human mind as well as the abundant food resources in their surrounding waters were doubtless prime motivators for the first boat-builders-as indeed they continue to motivate contemporary boat-builders. Virtually all islands large enough to accommodate human populations are inhabited, and some have been so for mil­ lennia. The separation of human populations by expanses of water, as well as the diverse currents of history that have moved through the area, has resulted in a rich mosaic of distinctive cultures.
