the league of <strong>Bukidnon</strong> Higaonon weavers. 

Although weavers were able <strong>to</strong> satisfy 1 purchase order r 

only out of 3, the export experience is still a success as far as the e 

community of Higaonon women weavers is concerned. 

For one, Higaonon indigenous craftsmanship has 

reached international market and competed with other 

similar world-class products. And, by such courage <strong>to</strong> go 

in<strong>to</strong> export production, they have contributed <strong>to</strong> local 

economy and brought pride <strong>to</strong> the province of <strong>Bukidnon</strong>. 

The weavers were able <strong>to</strong> experience synchronized hinabol 

production for export whereby weaving and dyeing skills 

had <strong>to</strong> level up <strong>to</strong> meet the standards and specifications of 

the export buyer. 

Lessons learned 

Everyone has their share of important lessons learned from m 

this export experience. Marketing and entrepreneurial skills of f 

Higaonon women leaders were tested. So is the patience and d 

extent of hard work of everyone involved.

come with many hurrahs or high fives or limelight. Success is 

seeing the community’s simple goals of learning, earning and 

yearning met. And by yearning, the community is hoping <strong>to</strong> get 

another export order… 

…and another export order they have indeed. 

Yes, early this January 2012, Phildansk is again negotiating 

with CMCC <strong>to</strong> place another possible purchase order for the

NI BANLUG AMOR, PASAKAMI 

Nang nabalitaan kong ako ang napili na pumunta a 

sa Madhu Duniya Honey Conference sa Indonesia 

mula Setyembre 21-25, 2011 ay labis ang aking 

naging pagkatuwa. Naisip ko na isa i<strong>to</strong>ng malaking biyaya a

ng mga kailangang dokumen<strong>to</strong> na kakailanganin sa aking 

pag-alis at pagsakay sa eroplano tulad ng barangay clearance, ance,

hindi ko binigyang-pansin. Bagamat mahirap ay nandoon 

pa rin ang malaking kasayahan. 

Bago sumakay ay may mga alituntunin sa loob ng terminal 

ng eroplano at mga dapat sundin. Sa kabila noon ay sobra 

ang nadama kong kaligayahan dahil sa unang pagkakataon 

ay mangyayari i<strong>to</strong> sa aking buhay, kaya magkahalong kaba at 

pananabik ang aking naramdaman. 

Sa kabila ng mga hindi inaasahang problema sa 

immigration, kami ay nakaalis pa rin ng bansa at nagtungo 

sa Indonesia. Ginabi na kami kaya nagpasya kaming 

matulog sa isang hotel sa bayan ng Bogor. 

Masaya ako dahil madami kaming pinuntahang lugar. Isa 

na doon ang Ujung Kulon National Park sa Pulau-Peucang

Sa wakas ay natupad din ang 

pinapangarap ng NATRIPAL na 

isang heritage center! 

Noong Disyembre 12, 2011 ay 

naisagawa ang “soft opening” ng tinatawag 

na Agong Salapa Heritage Center sa Puer<strong>to</strong> 

Princesa. 

Naaalala ko pa nang sinisimulan 

pa lang buuin ang konsep<strong>to</strong> ng Heritage 

Center. Nagkaroon ng isang pagpupulong 

ang Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs ng NATRIPAL, mga 

elder mula sa katutubong Tagbanua, Batak 

at Palawan at kasama din di<strong>to</strong> si Miss Crissy 

Guerrero ng NTFP. Pinag-usapan nila kung 

ano ang magiging disenyo ni<strong>to</strong>, anu-ano 

ang mga lalamanin at iba pang mga bagay 

kaugnay sa pagtatayo ng isang heritage 

center. Ngunit matingkad ri<strong>to</strong> ang palihan 

ng ano ang magiging kahalagahan ng 

pagtatayo ng heritage center ng NATRIPAL. 

Sapagkat kung matutupad nga i<strong>to</strong>, i<strong>to</strong> ang 

siyang magiging kauna-unahang heritage center sa buong 

Palawan na ang nakapagtayo din ay isang katutubong 

pederasyon-ang NATRIPAL Inc. 

Naging katuwang din sa ginawang pagbubukas sina 

kapaki-pakinabang na paraan. 

Ayon kay Dr. Phung Huu Chinh, Direk<strong>to</strong>r ng 

Bee Research Development Center mula sa Vietnam, 

ang pulot ng trigona ay maaring panggamot sa 

karamdaman ng tao lalo na ang kanyang pollen 

at beeswax na punong-puno ng bitamina. I<strong>to</strong> ang 

pangalawang beses kong nakita si Dr. Chinh at muli 

ay marami akong natutunan na mga bagong kaalaman 

mula sa kanya. 

Ang Madhu Duniya ay ang pagtitipon at samasamang 

pag-aaral tungkol sa mga iba’t-ibang uri ng 

pukyutan ng iba’t–ibang bansa. Naisip ko na dahil sa 

pagtitipong i<strong>to</strong>, ang mga munting mga kaalaman ay 

napagsasama upang makabuo ng isang mas malaking 

kaalaman. Hanggang sa huli, ang saya at pananabik ko 

ay lalong tumindi dahil sa aking mga natututunan at sa 

nakikita kong ganda ng bansang Indonesia. 

Sa panghuli ay nagpapasalamat ako sa mga EDO 

ng NTFP-Task Force sa ibinigay na pagkakataon sa mga 

katutubo na dumalo sa pag-aaral o pagtitipong i<strong>to</strong>. 

“Si Banlug Amor ay nagmula sa tribong Alangan ng

General Nakar. Mayroon ding mga dumalo na bisita mula 

sa bansang Cambodia sa pangungunga ni Femy Pin<strong>to</strong> ng 

NTFP-EP. 

Ang pangalang “Agong Salapa” ay mula sa mga 

salitang “agong” na isang katutubong instrumen<strong>to</strong>ng pangmusika 

na pawang ginagamit ng tribong Tagbanua, Batak 

at Palawan. Ginagamit i<strong>to</strong> sa pagtug<strong>to</strong>g ng musikang 

pansayaw. I<strong>to</strong> din ay ginagamit pantawag sa buong tribu 

kung may mga pagpupulong, pagbibigay alam kung may 

mga bisita o panganib na darating. Ang “salapa” naman ay 

katutubong kagamitan din ng tatlong tribu na hugis lalagyan 

ng mga alahas. Di<strong>to</strong> itinatago ang mga mahahalagang 

gamit at kayamanan ng mga katutubo at maging ng nganga 

at iba pang ginagamit panigarilyo. 

Ang naipagsamang pangalang i<strong>to</strong> ng heritage center 

ay sumisimbolo at nagsisilbing panawagan sa lahat ng 

mga katutubong Tagbanua, Batak at Palawan na tipunin at 

ilagak ang mga katutubong kagamitan at kaugalian bilang 

bahagi ng pagpapanatili ng kultura ng Tagbanua, Batak at 

Palawan. nbta


Rain Forest Res<strong>to</strong>ration Initiative: 

Advancing Rainforestation Technology 

BY: METCHIE GAY ARNAIZ, RFRI SECRETARIAT 

What is RFRI 

The Rain Forest Res<strong>to</strong>ration 

Initiative (RFRI) is a network of 

organizations and individuals from 

the academe, peoples’ organizations, 

non-government organizations, 

and business sec<strong>to</strong>r engaged in 

environmental conservation, research 

and development. Its mission is <strong>to</strong> 

promote rainforestation or the use of 

native species for forest res<strong>to</strong>ration and 

other land use management objectives 

in the Philippines. The ultimate 

principles of the network include 

science-based forest res<strong>to</strong>ration, value of 

native species as a genetic resource and 

for ecosystem services including climate 

change mitigation, partnership with 

local communities and integration of 

local knowledge and practices in forest 

res<strong>to</strong>ration, provisioning services and 

forest-related livelihood options <strong>to</strong> society, and protection 

and conservation of remaining forests for biodiversity 

conservation and other ecosystem services. 

RFRI Core members 

The RFRI was first established in 2004 <strong>to</strong>gether 

with Haribon’s ROAD (Rainforestation Organizations and 

Advocates) <strong>to</strong> 2020 Campaign with a goal of reforesting 1 

million hectares with native species by year 2020. It was 

revived in 2009 and has expanded <strong>to</strong> consist the Institute 

of Tropical Ecology-Visayas State University (ITE-VSU), 

Environmental Leadership and Training Initiative (ELTI), 

Foundation for the Philippine Environment (FPE), 

Haribon Foundation, Non-Timber Forest Products-Task 

Force (NTFP-TF), Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF), 

Philippine Tropical Forest Conservation Foundation 

(PTFCF), Philippine Native Plant Conservation Society, 

Inc. (PNPCSI), University of the Philippines Los Banos- 

College of Forestry and Natural Resources (ULPB-CFNR), 

and individual members such as Ms. Ester Batangan and 

Dr. Perry Ong. The RFRI is willing <strong>to</strong> accept new members 

who wish <strong>to</strong> support rainforestation <strong>to</strong> reach its potential 

through research and development, education and advocacy, 

technical assistance, and project implementation work. 

Conference: Mainstreaming Native 

Species-Based Forest Res<strong>to</strong>ration 

For many years, the government and 

the environmental sec<strong>to</strong>rs unceasingly 

provide funds and support on large-scale 

reforestation projects in the country <strong>to</strong> 

address widespread loss of ecosystem 

services, including biodiversity 

maintenance, carbon sequestration and 

watershed protection. A problem with 

these reforestation efforts, however, 

is the use of exotic species which 

oftentimes are not well-matched <strong>to</strong> 

the ecosystem where they are planted. 

These fast growing, foreign species are 

said <strong>to</strong> be bio-invasive, prone <strong>to</strong> disease 

outbreaks and with limited value in 

terms of reestablishment of watershed 

and biodiversity. This conference 

brought <strong>to</strong>gether research scientists and 

practitioners who have been leading 

some efforts of propagating native types of trees, <strong>to</strong> discuss 

how <strong>to</strong> begin “mainstreaming” the usage of native tree 

species. Headed by ELTI, in cooperation with RFRI and 

University of the Philippines, the conference was held at 

the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City 

last July 15-16, 2010. 

Rainforestation training programs 

In 2004, the Department of Environment and Natural 

Resources issued Memorandum Circular No. 2004-06 or 

simply the “Guidelines in the Integration of Rainforestation 

Farming Strategy in the Development of Open and Denuded 

Areas within Protected Areas and other Appropriate Forest 

Lands”. This year, trainings programs were conducted by 

RFRI members, ELTI and partners for project implementers 

such as the Protected Areas Superintendents (PASu) and the 

National Power Corporation (NPC) watershed managers. 

These provided participants with knowledge and skills 

on how <strong>to</strong> develop rainforestation sites and native species 

nurseries. Rainforestation Research and Moni<strong>to</strong>ring Training 

was also given <strong>to</strong> colleges and universities who are members 

of the Philippine Forestry Education Network, Inc. (PFEN) 

<strong>to</strong> teach them how <strong>to</strong> collect data on germination, growth 

and survival, and on database management.

Celebrating IYF 

In celebration of the 2011 International Year of Forests, 

the RFRI is holding the RFRI Seminar Series: Green 

Mondays from 11:00-12:00 every first Monday of the month 

from July 4, 2011 <strong>to</strong> February 6, 2012. The seminar series is 

intended <strong>to</strong> raise awareness about the value of native forest 

biodiversity, conservation and sustainable development of 

“forests for people.” This seminar series is being held in 

the UP-Diliman Institute of Biology, with live simulcast on 

www.dilc.upd.edu.ph and www.rainforestation.ph.

Best Native Forest Tree Nursery 

The RFRI launched this year the Leonard Co Award for 

Best Native Forest Tree Nursery. Top 3 winners (Nabingkalan 

Indigenous Seedlings Producers Association, San Carlos, 

Negros Occidental-grand prize;Imbayao Community-Based 

Forest Management Farmers Association, Malaybalay,

City, Batangas-2nd runner up) were awarded during the 

first symposium of the PNPCSI in November 19-20, 2011. 

They received a plaque of recognition and certificates. The 

best forest tree nursery also received PhP 100,000 in cash. 

The network is planning <strong>to</strong> make this an annual event 

<strong>to</strong> encourage more nursery owners <strong>to</strong> raise native tree 

seedlings. nbta
