Renegado along the shores of Barangay Caraosan in Bula, Camarines Sur on July 28. In a report 8, from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Regions (DENR-Bicol), local environment officials suspect that there was an attempt to catch the turtle, but the perpetrators might have backed off due to the sea creature's weight. The pawikan, classified as a "vulnerable" specie, was found entangled in rope and the cause of death could have been drowning as it failed to resurface for oxygen. The pawikan was buried 200 meters off the shoreline of the barangay.

  • Damaged Batanes Heritage Homes Face Demolition
    Headline Damaged Batanes heritage homes face demolition MediaTitle Philippine Star(www.philstar.com) Date 30 Jul 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 1 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily Damaged Batanes heritage homes face demolition MANILA, Philippines — Initial damage to infrastructure caused by the earthquakes that hit Itbayat island in the province of Batanes on Saturday has been placed at P72 million, while hundreds of houses may be demolished because these are no longer habitable. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and other government agencies have yet to assess the damage to other public and private properties. Another aftershock, measuring magnitude 3.4, shook Itbayat yesterday. According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), the tremor happened at 2:03 p.m., with its epicenter traced 18 kilometers southwest of Itbayat. During a briefing on the situation in areas hit by the earthquake, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said failure to comply with the building code was one of the gaps observed while officials were responding to the effects of the disaster. “I would like to commend the LGUs (local government units), particularly the provincial government and their governor Marilou Cayco and (Itbayat) Mayor Raul de Sagon, for immediately acting and getting response. They were able to convene the local DRRMC and designated an emergency operation center,” Año said. “But we have seen some gaps. Like for example, most of the houses were actually (built during the) Spanish era... and they did not follow the building code. So aside from the 15 houses, probably some of those houses will not be livable anymore.

Santos, Jr. Primed and Purposeful: Armed Groups and Human Security Efforts in the Philippines pro- vides the political and historical detail necessary to understand the motivations and probable outcomes of conflicts in the country. The volume explores related human security issues, including the willingness of several Filipino armed groups to negotiate political settlements to the conflicts, and to contemplate the demobilization and reintegration of combatants into civilian life. Light is also shed on the use of small arms—the weapons of choice for armed groups—whose availability is maintained through leakage from government arsenals, porous borders, a thriving domestic craft industry, and a lax regulatory regime. —David Petrasek, Author, Ends and Means: Human Rights Approaches to Armed Groups (International Council on Human Rights Policy, 2000) At the centre of this book are the ‘primed and purposeful’ protagonists of the Philippines’ two major internal armed conflicts: the nationwide Communist insurgency and the Moro insurgency in the Muslim part of Mindanao.
