Bohol, once considered among the poorest provinces in the Philippines, is striving to attain sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural food production. This journey has been made possible by efforts among multisectoral groups to join hands and collaborate for Bohol's progress. These groups mainly include nongovernment organizations, people's organizations (such as farmers', fishers', and women's organizations), consumer groups and cooperatives, the local church, the academe, and local government offices.

Los países en desarrollo como el Perú y las Filipinas comparten similares problemas ambientales. La degradación de los recursos ambientales en Bohol, Filipinas ha avanzado hasta un estado crítico debido a la sobrepoblación, la guerra civil, deforestación y falta de estrategias y políticas de protección y manejo ambiental. En el Perú se está produciendo una degradación ambiental que, sin embargo, no ha llegado al estado crítico. Debido a semejanzas en el crecimiento poblacional, uso de la tierra y fisiografía, la información obtenida mediante el estudio sistemático de la degradación ambiental y de la ampliación agrícola en las Filipinas, es aplicable al Perú. Se determinó que para ambas localidades el aspecto más importante de la protección, manejo y ampliación del uso de los recursos ambientales es el desarrollo de una educación ambiental y de programas de toma de conciencia en los cuales los profesores, funcionarios de gobierno, estudiantes y público en general son educados acerca de las intricancias de su ambiente y sobre por qué y cómo proteger, preservar y administrar los recursos ambientales.The developing nations of Peru and the Philippines share similar environmental problems. Because of overpopulation, civil war deforestation, and policies, environmental protection and management strategies and policies, environmental resource degradation in Bohol, the Philippines has advanced to a critical stage. Environmental degradation in Peru is occurring, but it has not yet advanced to this critical stage. Because of similarities in population growth, land use, and physiography, information gained by systematically studying environmental degradation and reclamation in the Philippines is applicable to Peru. It was determined for both locales that the most important aspect of environmental resource protection, management, and reclamation was the development of environmental education and awareness programs wherein teachers, government officials, students, and the general public are educated about the intricacies of their environment, and why and how to protect, preserve, and manage environmental resources.

Panglao Island is one of the tourist destin ations in the Philippines due to its white sand beaches, spectacular coral formations, beautiful reef fishes and crystal clear waters. Tourist arrival in 2012 noticeably decreased according to the dive shop operators and hotel and restaurant operators. Cor al reefs damaged due to human and natural factors. Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) implemented the Filipinnovation on Coral Reef Restora tion Program in collaboration with the University of San Carlos (USC), Cebu City and Bohol Island State University (BISU), Candijay Campus to manage the Pilot Technology Demonstration on Coral Reef Restoration in Panglao, Bohol. The ultimate goal of the project was to restore the degraded coral reefs through innovative means while maintaining partnerships between the local government units and private sectors which directly benefiting the coral ecosystems. The project team members were able to complete the deployment of 40 coral nursery units (CNUs) underwater in the month of September 2012. About 20,000 coral fragments were planted directly to the substrate using two techniques: 1) underwater epoxy as coral adhesive; and 2) nail and cable tie method. Tagged coral samples, it was found that the survivability of the transplanted coral was at 80% but decreased significantly with the presence of corallivores such as crown of thorns seastars, Acanthaster plancii and the snail that feeds on corals, Drupella cornus . Data gathered from the CNUs, it was ascertained that Acropora nobilis was a fast growing acroporid species capable of growing at .37 cm in three weeks or at 5.76 cm/ year, with all else assumed being linear. The project invites and encourages dive shop o perators, hotel and restaurant owners, local government units and non government organization's officials in Bohol province to sustain the project.

This study described the meaning of lived experiences of the municipal leaders of Loboc, Bohol, Philippines, prior, during, and after typhoon "Seniang" in 2014. It investigated the initiatives and practices of the local government unit (LGU) and captured the household experiences through a qualitative research approach following the Husserlian descriptive phenomenology utilizing Colaizzi's method of data analysis. Purposive sampling was employed through face-to-face interviews with 12 key informants after reaching saturation point. All narrative accounts were transcribed and served as the primary source of qualitative data. The extracted accounts were organized through thematic categorization yielding 77 significant statements, 28 formulated meanings, 15 clusters, and 4 emergent themes. These emergent themes include awareness of disaster, experiences during the disaster, good local governance practices, and experienced challenges. Grounded on these findings, it is concluded that effective disaster response and quick and successful recovery fundamentally depend on authentic and effective governance by Loboc local leaders concretized through collaborative, concrete observance, implementation of responsive policy processes and the harmonious team works among community members. Altogether, proactive involvement makes a community more resilient. The researchers recommend that Loboc local leaders, employees, and residents, altogether put a premium on active participation, profess a positive outlook with enduring commitment to immediately rebound from any experienced disaster.

Based on feedbacks of development workers, local government units (LGUs), and agricultural extension workers, there are rice varieties unregistered to National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) and Philippine Seed Board (PSB). Some of these varieties are widely used by farmers and being preserved for years while others are introduced by fellow farmers from nearby Barangays [villages]. This study aims to identify unregistered rice varieties circulating in Negros and Bohol Islands, to document farmers' reasons and socio-economic factors in using these varieties, and to collect seed samples for demonstration and classification study. Thirty-eight unregistered rice varieties were found in Negros and Bohol Islands and 52.63% of these varieties are used in Negros Oriental, 28.95% in Negros Occidental, and 18.42% in Bohol. The major reasons of farmer-users include resistance to insect pests and diseases, good eating quality and good germination. Minor reasons are higher grain weight, less fertilizer requirement, and tillering ability. Main and least socio-economic factors of using these varieties are easy accessibility and recommended by millers/traders having 61% and 2%, respectively. It is concluded that there are many unregistered rice varieties circulating and being used by the farmers in Negros and Bohol Islands. It is recommended that these varieties should be analyzed and characterized to check if these varieties are unique, NSIC and PSB released, or promising lines that were collected during field testing.

Climate change is considered as one of the pressing environmental issues in the world today, which influences several sectors in the economy, including agriculture. This study analyzes the perception of farmers on the impacts of climate change in Malinao Dam community situated in Pilar, Bohol. Data were gathered in three selected barangays (Estaca, Buena Suerte and San Isidro) from November to January 2014. Mitigating measures and adaptations in response to climate change were also investigated. Eighty percent (80%) of the respondents claimed that they have enough knowledge on climate change, which they mostly learned from their own experiences and observations. Some perceived causes of climate change mentioned by the respondents include burning garbage, cutting trees, burning forest and overpopulation. The main use of Malinao Dam is for irrigation but 90% of the farmers answered that there is no enough water for their rice fields, causing their yield to decrease and their lands to become unproductive. Adaptation measures mentioned include using new rice varieties, construction of water pump systems and planting drought-tolerant crops. Mitigating measures recorded include tree-planting activities, river clean-up, and solid waste segregation programs. Most of the respondents mentioned that the policy direction of the government may focus on continually educating the community about climate change. Furthermore, it is recommended that information drive, awareness campaign and capacity building activities should be done by relevant agencies in the grassroots level to encourage localized actions.
