National Workshop for Developing a Progressive Management Pathway for Improving Seaweed Biosecurity and Protection to Support the Sustainable Development of the Seaweed Sector

Seaweed cultivation is rapidly expanding globally. With a growing awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability and the recognition that both cultivated and wild seaweeds are experiencing significant losses through climate change-related impacts, it is critical that key stakeholders are brought together to create a sustainable way forward to safeguard the industry. The FAO’s Progressive Management Pathway for Seaweed Biosecurity (PMP/AB-Seaweed)1 provides a framework to safeguard the industry, which can be integrated with the Philippines' National Seaweed Management Plan. The PMP/AB-Seaweed workshop was held face-to-face in Cali…

Enhancing Credit Utilization Practices Through Financial Management Programs for Market Stakeholders in Gonzaga, Cagayan, Philippines

Informal credit schemes are a key source of access to finance for market vendors in Gonzaga, Cagayan. Given the limitations on access to formal financial institutions due to collateral and credit history, the majority of micro-entrepreneurs use informal credit providers. Even though the schemes provide necessary working capital, they are risky with high interest and non-standard repayment conditions. This policy brief identifies the importance of informal credit in finance generation and recommends ways to optimize its advantages and minimize risks.

Documentation and Preliminary Assessment of Liquefaction Effects Associated with the 08 June 2026 Mw 7.8 Offshore Sarangani Earthquake, Southern Philippines

The 08 June 2026 Mw 7.8 offshore Sarangani earthquake generated widespread ground shaking across southern Mindanao and triggered liquefaction-related impacts in several low-lying areas in Southern Mindanao. This study presents a preliminary documentation and assessment of liquefaction manifestations associated with the earthquake, based on field reconnaissance, crowdsourced reports, remote observations, and comparison with existing hazard datasets. Field investigations conducted a few days after the event documented sand boils, sediment ejection, ground fissures, lateral spreading, differential settlement, and structural damage in selected si…

Land Subsidence and Relative Sea Level Rise in Masantol and Sasmuan, Pampanga, Philippines: A Coastal Inundation Vulnerability Assessment

This report presents a detailed assessment of land subsidence, horizontal ground deformation, relative sea-level rise, and coastal inundation vulnerability in the municipalities of Masantol and Sasmuan, in the province of Pampanga. The assessment is based on Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) measurements and interpreted within the broader context of the Pampanga Delta and North Manila Bay. Results indicate that both municipalities are undergoing measurable land subsidence, with Masantol exhibiting substantially higher rates than Sasmuan. Maximum and average subsidence rates were estimated at 5.3 cm/yr and 4.1 cm/yr for Masantol…

Cacao and its Potential for Colon Cancer Prevention: Policy Opportunities Beyond Nutrition

The impact of modern medicine, with different treatment modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy, and all other advanced therapies, sometimes presents great difficulties. Patients undergo severe side effects, and treatment options differ in their impact and effectiveness on different patients. These disquieting features underline a compelling reason to seek simply and potentially less harmful methods of avoiding or ameliorating cancer. Globally, and right here at home, there's growing excitement about natural approaches to health. Many plant-based foods contain special compounds that can be beneficial. Cacao, the bean from which chocolate is …

Deterministic Ashfall Modeling of VEI 3 and VEI 7 eruption scenarios of Taal, Pinatubo, Natib, and Mariveles Volcanoes

Volcanic ashfall poses significant threats to public safety, infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, and aviation, particularly in densely populated regions such as Luzon, Philippines. This study presents a deterministic assessment of potential ashfall hazards associated with VEI 3 (moderate) and VEI 7 (worst-case) eruption scenarios for four volcanoes in Luzon: Taal, Pinatubo, Natib, and Mariveles. Using the Ash3d numerical tephra transport and dispersal model, a total of 1,504 simulations were performed, representing varying eruption magnitudes and atmospheric conditions. Simulations incorporated representative northeast monsoon, south…

Comparison of various remote sensing classification methods for landslide detection after the M7.2 Bohol Earthquake

A comprehensive landslide inventory is vital in landslide hazard analysis. It provides statistical and spatial distributions at agiven time which can be used as parameter for susceptibility and classification modelling. It is usually derived from historical data, field surveys, and manual interpretation of aerial and satellite images. However, historical data is not always available and complete, intensive field surveys are impractical for large-scale studies, and manual analysis of aerial and spectral images can be tedious and time-consuming. With the advancement of spectral remote sensing systems, different automated procedures for image cl…
