Biliran DRR CCA-Enhanced PDPFP.Pdf DRR/CCA- Enhanced PDPFP – Biliran, p. i ACKNOWLEDGMENT The successful completion of this DRR/CCA-enhanced PDPFP is attributed to the perseverance and sincere efforts of those who have been involved, either directly or indirectly, in the making of not only this enhanced plan but as well as the preparation of the two base documents, namely the Biliran PDPFP 2011-2016 and the DRVA Report of the province. Profound thanks and heartfelt gratitude are therefore due to the individuals, agencies, and organizations that are too many to mention, although the members of the Biliran DRR/CCA Provincial Core Team nonetheless wish to acknowledge the following for their invaluable contributions: The members of the Biliran Provincial Development Council 2010-2013 and 2013-2016, both headed by the Honorable Provincial Governor Gerardo J. Espina, Jr., for setting the direction of the development of the province and providing leadership and unwavering support to the plan formulation projects; The current and past members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Biliran for extending the necessary legislative support; The officials, functionaries, and consultants of NEDA Head Office and NEDA Regional Office No. VIII, for constantly guiding us; The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Philippines, the European Commission, and the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) for their financial support and technical assistance; The department heads and personnel of the various offices of the provincial government and municipal LGUs of Biliran Province, with special mention to the PPDO, PDRRMO and PTIO, and the different national government agencies and non-government organizations, for sharing their useful inputs and skills; And above all to the Almighty God, to whom all praise and glory are due.

The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

  • Iloilo Case Study
    Case study Mobilizing Social Capital for Social Service Delivery in Marginalized Coastal Communities in the Province of Iloilo Jessica Asne Dator-Bercilla Poverty has always been a socioeconomic issue in the Philippines. The task of poverty alleviation is deemed the concern of government, nongovernment organizations, and donor agencies. That communities—the more immediate stakeholders in any development process—play a critical role in development, not only as mere beneficiaries but also as partners and leaders in the development process, is often overlooked. This case study focuses on the community as a critical link to development. A multi-axial framework of analysis serves as guidepost in presenting the case study. A paradigm towards a social development that encompasses geographical, ecological, economic, social, and cultural dimensions is used. It departs from an economic-biased perspective of resource mobilization for social development. It weaves together aspects of development that were once treated as if they were mutually exclusive categories. Perhaps the most significant contribution of the study is the focus it gives to social capital as a force in social and economic development. There are numerous theories proposing that social networks or aggregations of people for a particular purpose create a stock of facilitating and cooperating social arrangements, roughly referred to as social capital. In particular, these are social arrangements that would likely lead to an accumulation of a social stock that allow for the exchange of and access to goods, services, and entitlements that may subsequently contribute to the general welfare and to the improvement in the quality of life of a community (Massam and Dickinson 1999).

  • Bat Count 2003
    BAT COUNT 2003 Working to promote the long term, sustainable conservation of globally threatened flying foxes in the Philippines, by developing baseline population information, increasing public awareness, and training students and protected area managers in field monitoring techniques. 1 A Terminal Report Submitted by Tammy Mildenstein1, Apolinario B. Cariño2, and Samuel Stier1 1Fish and Wildlife Biology, University of Montana, USA 2Silliman University and Mt. Talinis – Twin Lakes Federation of People’s Organizations, Diputado Extension, Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines Photo by: Juan Pablo Moreiras 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large flying foxes in insular Southeast Asia are the most threatened of the Old World fruit bats due to deforestation, unregulated hunting, and little conservation commitment from local governments. Despite the fact they are globally endangered and play essential ecological roles in forest regeneration as seed dispersers and pollinators, there have been only a few studies on these bats that provide information useful to their conservation management. Our project aims to promote the conservation of large flying foxes in the Philippines by providing protected area managers with the training and the baseline information necessary to design and implement a long-term management plan for flying foxes. We focused our efforts on the globally endangered Philippine endemics, Acerodon jubatus and Acerodon leucotis, and the bats that commonly roost with them, Pteropus hypomelanus, P. vampyrus lanensis, and P. pumilus which are thought to be declining in the Philippines. Local participation is an integral part of our project. We conducted the first national training workshop on flying fox population counts and conservation at the Subic Bay area.

Main agenda The Food Security and Agriculture (FSAC) cluster and the Early Recovery and Ajambar Rai April 7, 2014 Livelihood (ER & L) cluster will now hold joint meetings together beginning April 7, (FSAC/FAO) 2014 as agreed upon by members of both clusters during their respective cluster meetings. The joint meetings are now scheduled every other Tuesday at 1PM Enrika Hidalgo starting April 22, 2014. (ER & L) The changes corresponding to the cluster meeting structure were based on rational and practical reasons considering the fact that there are commonality of issues and concerns in both clusters, the same government counterparts and identical humanitarian partners and NGO’s on the ground involving the two clusters. Cluster members for both clusters see this as a strategic move, a viable mean to strengthen coordination mechanism, information sharing and collaborative discussions on similar issues and possible joint explorations of solutions or interventions. But there is no merger of clusters, FSAC and ER & L clusters retain their independent SRP and reporting process. 2. Updates from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) A.
