  • Water Quality of Mantayupan River in Barili, Cebu, Philippines
    Annals of Tropical Research 34[2]:95-111(2012) © VSU, Leyte, Philippines Water Quality of Mantayupan River in Barili, Cebu, Philippines 1 1 2 Alfredo C. Neri, Virgie P. Wee and Glenn B. Hoyohoy 1 2 Cebu Technological University - Barili Campus, Barili, Cebu, Cebu Technological University - Moalboal Campus, Moalboal, Cebu ABSTRACT The Mantayupan River is among the most important sources of water in Cebu, Philippines. This study was conducted to evaluate the physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of this river ecosystem and monitor the uses of its water. Results showed that Mantayupan river's overall water quality index (WQI) indicated only a “medium or average water quality” at the head water all the way down the river channel during dry season. In the rainy season, the river's WQI scaled a “good water quality” at the head water and falls but declined to “medium or average water quality” at its downstream. Results indicated that bathing or any recreational water contact activity is safe only during the wet season at the head water up to the Mantayupan falls but not after and until the downstream. However, the denser population of coliforms along the river indicates that Mantayupan falls situated closer to the head water than the downstream is not suitable for bathing and any recreational water contact activity during both seasons. Keywords: Water quality, river pollution, water uses, eco-tourism Correspondence: A. C. Neri. Address: Cebu Technological University - Barili Campus, Barili, Cebu City. E-mail: [email protected]. 96 Neri et al. INTRODUCTION Water is vital to humans. It is needed for food preparation, drinking, washing, bathing, and irrigation.

  • 3 Ecotourism in the Islands
    3│ Ecotourism in the Islands Ecotourism Sites & Activities Bantayan Island, the Camotes Group of Islands and President Carlos P. Garcia Island have a diverse range of high quality natural and man-made attractions, which are ideal for ecotourism development. Its attractions include an extensive system of protected areas such as coral reefs, marine parks and mangrove forests; fine white sand beaches; coves; caves; waterfalls, and; historical sites that could easily be packaged into viable tourism products. At present, tourism activities are limited to the following: rest & relaxation, nature tours, trekking, biking, homestay, and festival celebration. Natural Resource Base The islands' natural resource base comprises mostly of marine and coastal resources, such as marine sanctuaries, coral reserves, beaches, seascapes, caves and mangrove areas. Measures to protect some of the potential ecotourism sites such as the marine protected areas are already in place. Local legislations such as the Municipal Fisheries and Coastal Resource Management Code and the Clean and Green Ordinance are some of the local initiatives taken to protect the coastal resources of the islands. A number of task forces have also been created to ensure the protection of the marine sanctuaries. There is a need though to strengthen some of the measures. Even with the presence of the bodies, violations threaten these protected areas. Marine Protected Areas. The islands boast of successfully-implemented and managed marine protected areas. By virtue of enacted ordinances, the islands have established 56 marine sanctuaries/protected areas, covering more than 1,000 hectares. Almost half (25) of the marine protected areas are found in Bantayan Island.

  • Cebu Diving in Love with Moalboal and Oslob
    Cebu Diving In Love with Moalboal and Oslob In February 2012, I returned to Cebu after my first trip to it in 2003. Cebu is nicknamed the Queen City of the South and is home to the Mactan International Airport — the Cebu Pacific Airlines hub. The airport has provided many international visitors a way to enter the country and bypass the crowded megacity of Metro Manila, which consists of 16 cities and has a population of at least 20 million people. (A megacity is often defined as a metropolitan area of at least 10 million.) For the second time in a few years, a Philippine dive trip I was signed up for was cancelled. I quickly scrambled to find an alternate location. I wanted to dive in the Visayas and was choosing between Bohol and Cebu. I decided that going to both would be time-consuming given the ferry schedules. Therefore, I chose Moalboal in Cebu, not just because it calls itself the Diving Paradise of Cebu (visit the official web site of the municipality of Cebu at http://moalboal.gov.ph for more information.) but because of its proximity to Oslob . Oslob is just further south of Moalboal. A few whale sharks in Oslob had just, a few months before my arrival, started to attract snorkelers and divers. I was determined to see the whale sharks in nature. I also almost cancelled the trip to Moalboal because of the 6.8 earthquake in Negros that occurred just days before my scheduled arrival. The island of Negros is visible from Moal- boal in Cebu.
