The Southern Cauayan Municipal Forest and Watershed Reserve (SCMFWR) is a 6,000-hectare area in the forests of southwestern Negros in the Philippines. It is part of the Greater Calatong Watershed, which supplies water to farmers in Cauayan and Sipalay City. This study describes the profile of the sub-watersheds within the SCMFWR. The data may be used as basis for management purposes and monitoring of the overall health of the reserve. Specifically, the study delineated boundaries, and drainage areas, classified sub-watersheds, described land use, and determined water discharge of three major river tributaries Cabanbanan, Tinagpito, and Banso and their physical characteristics. The drainage areas of the three rivers were delineated using Topographic Map from the Philippine National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, Google Map, and ASTER GDEM 2011, and secondary data/maps from the Provincial Environment Management Office. DENR manual on watershed characterization was used for the sub-watershed classification. The measurement of water discharge was done by measuring average crosssectional areas of the river and water velocities obtained through the floatation method. Other watershed and river characteristics were gathered by ocular observation. The study determined that SCMFWR is divided into three subwatersheds with a total area of 2944.78 ha. that feeds the three river systems.

AbstractTalaud Islands Regency includes maritime territory, 94.6% of which is waters directly adjacent to the Philippines and holds a variety of high economic living resources. In North Sulawesi Provincial Regulation Numbered 1/2017, article 12 concerning Zoning Plan of Coastal Zone and Small Islands of North Sulawesi Province 2017-2037, Talaud Islands Regency is designated as Integrated Marine and Fisheries Center Location of Talaud. It is located in Salibabu district, where Regional Regulation of Spatial Plan Numbered 1/2014 concerning Spatial Plan of Talaud Islands Regency for 2014-2034, Salibabu District is prioritized for Fishing Fisheries Regional Development and Management since its unutilized fisheries potential is still about 23,104 tons/year. In 2017, Salibabu district occupies the highest order for total fisheries production in Talaud Islands District. It was 702.3 tons or 11.79% of that in Talaud Islands Regency, 46.23% of which were gained from purse seines. Majority of the purse seine fishermen are those whose main livelihoods are fishermen and do not have other jobs. Fishing community is, in general, a relatively lagging community group socially, economically and culturally when compared with other community groups. The purse seine fishermen community in Salibabu district, in fact, still has mean income far below the minimum wage of Kabupaten Talaud, IDR. 1,500,000, -. The purse seine fisherman community in Salibabu district is still chained with poverty and backwardness. Therefore, there are needs for external intervention as an incentive to empower them in order to get out of the situation. This study used descriptive method, a method of studying the recent status of human groups, an object, a set of condition, a system of thinking or a class of events. Data collection consisted of primary and secondary data. It was done through in-depth interviews, filling questionnaires and literature studies. Respondents were purse seine fishermen communities in Salibabu district. Data analysis used descriptive method to know the socio-economic life of the communities and income formula to analyze the income level of fishermen purse seine. Results showed that mean net income in Salibabu district was approximately IDR 86,784,000/year for the purse seine owner and IDR.10,608,840/year for fishing crews, respectively, with main catches of skipjack tuna, mackerels, and scads.

PurposeThis paper analyzed the healthcare systems of the Philippines and Vietnam prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and their strategies on mass testing, contact tracing, quarantine procedures and information dissemination about the pandemic.Design/methodology/approachSteinmo's (2008) historical institutionalism approach was used in this paper. Secondary data gathering, document analysis and comparative process tracing were employed.FindingsThe findings revealed that Vietnam's implementation of its Law on Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases in 2007, its relatively low-cost healthcare system, its efficient mass testing and contact tracing strategies and its science-based decisions are contributory to its success in handling the pandemic. Meanwhile, the Philippines failure to enact its Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act in 2013, its costly and dominantly private healthcare system, its heavy focus on strict, long lockdowns and its militarist methods to control the spread of the pandemic were found to be insufficient.Research limitations/implicationsDetailed study on the delivery of healthcare services in marginal areas, healthcare spending for COVID-19 positive individuals and information dissemination strategies about the pandemic were not explored.Practical implicationsHealth institutions can redesign their governance mechanisms by ensuring a cost-effective healthcare system and maximizing resource utilization to ensure efficient management of future pandemics. Moreover, national governments should not compromise their country's healthcare system over the economy during a pandemic.Originality/valueThis paper analyzed the countries' history of healthcare governance and its influence in handling COVID-19 compared to previous studies which only focused on the countries' strategies during the pandemic.

This study represents the first phase of research being undertaken in the Philippines on gifted disadvantaged children. The subject of this paper focuses on the assessment tools and procedures employed for the screening and identification of intellectually able or “fast learners” among preschool Filipino children from disadvantaged urban communities. Preliminary screening involved nominations made by daycare teachers using checklists for giftedness. Parent ratings on giftedness were also obtained as a secondary data source for the final selection of fast learners. Children nominated by teachers were subjected to individual testing and evaluation. Results showed that over the two-year period of screening, three to four percent of the entire population of daycare children qualified as fast learners on the basis of teacher nominations and performance on two standardized tests of intelligence. Data also indicated that a greater percentage of children passed the Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices (RCPM) percentile ranking of 75 and above compared to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) Short Form IQ of 110. Findings further suggest the potential usefulness of the RCPM as an identification tool for fast learners among this population of children.

Information is essential in making marketing decisions. This paper presents an assessment of information concerning the timber market in Leyte Island, focusing on sources, how to access supply and demand information, and usefulness and limitations of available information. The sources of timber market information include (i) Philippine Forestry Statistics, (ii) a database of registered tree plantations, (iii) a barangay-based inventory of trees on farms, and (iv) tree measurements and data collected in the timber enterprise survey conducted by the ACIAR Tree Farm Project. Based on available secondary data, there are 27,635 ha of forest in Leyte that is potentially harvestable. In addition, based on the findings of the barangay-based tree farm inventory, there are approximately 2.7 M trees on tree farms on Leyte Island. Timber demand by entrepreneurs on Leyte Island has not been calculated yet from the available survey data of the ACIAR Tree Farmer Project; however, estimates show that the annual per capita timber consumption of the Philippines for 2005 was 7.8 board feet. It was found that although some secondary data on timber market information are available from government agencies, particularly the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, consumer and producer-level data are scarce. Most of the producer and consumer-level data available to date were gathered through the ACIAR Tree Farm Project.

Estimation of the magnitude of sinks and sources of carbon requires reliable estimates of the biomass of forests and of individual trees. Equations for predicting tree biomass have been developed using secondary data involving destructive sampling in plantations (mostly less than 10 years of age) in several localities in the Philippines. These equations allow estimates of carbon sequestration to be made at much lower cost than would be incurred if detailed stand inventories were undertaken. The species included in the study reported here include Gmelina arborea Roxb., Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen Swietenia macrophylla King and Dipterocarp species in Mindanao, and Leucaena leucocephala de Wit from Laguna, Antique, Cebu, Iloilo, Rizal, and Ilocos Sur. Non-linear regression was used to derive speciesspecific, site specific and generic equations between yield and diameter of the form y = αDβ. Equations were evaluated based on the correlation coefficient, standard error of estimate and residual plots. Regressions resulted in high r values (>0.90). In some cases, non-homogeneous variance was encountered. The generic equation improved estimates compared with models used in previous studies.

Abstract The continuous dependence of man on fuel and service wood has resulted in serious degradation of the fragile forest ecosystem. Therefore, this study evaluated the sources and patterns of fuel wood and examined the rate of consumption in the study area. This was with the aim to assess the ecological implications of fuelwood consumption on species degradation. The study utilized both, primary and secondary data. Information was extracted from topographic map on the scale of 1: 50,000 and satellites imageries that cover the study area. Questionnaire administration, field observation and weight measurement of fuel wood were carried out. The results showed that the sources of fuel wood for domestic cooking were forest, nearby bush and abandoned farm while the sources of domestic energy were fuel wood (61.17%), charcoal (27%), kerosene (10%), electricity (1.33%) and gas (0.5%). Fuel wood for small scale industries were: forest (49.23%), farmland (34.62) and fallow land (16.15%). The trend of fuel wood consumption was on the high side from 1995 to 2011, it was 58% in 1995, 70% in 2000, 82% in 2005 and 92% in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Many valuable economic tree species such as Triplochiton scleroxylon, Nesogordonia papaverifera, and Cordia spp. are near their extinction. Animals such as antelope, wolf and fox are going into extinction while monkey, grasscutter, hare, rabbit were endemic in the study area. The study concluded that the patterns of fuel wood use and fuel wood saturation presents a great danger for biodiversity products and services.
