    Abstract: Climate change, involving both natural climate variability and anthropogenic global warming, has been a major worldwide concern, particularly with the publication of the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Considering the archipelagic nature of the Philippines and its being a very minor emitter of greenhouse gases, adaptation to climate change has been the Government’s national policy. The importance of expediting these climate change-related adaptation measures was highlighted by a string of geo-meteorological-related disasters, specifically triggered landslides and floods consequent to Typhoon Parma that hit the country in 2009. We present the geologic conditions that rendered the affected areas, especially in northwestern Luzon, extremely vulnerable to the existent hazards, the meteorological conditions that set off the disaster and the different initiatives that the government and local communities have taken to further prepare the people for possible future disasters. Recognition of the pertinent issues and the extant challenges points to the urgent need for mainstreaming both geo-meteorological-related disaster risk management and climate change adaptation measures in the light of changing climate conditions.

    Energy Savings and Carbon Emission Reduction of Smart Lighting Installation in a Multipurpose and Residential Building in Santiago de Compostela, Spain
    School of Environmental Science and Management, University of the Philippines Los Banos ; 2013

    Abstract: The excessive emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has increased the global average temperature resulting to a phenomenon known as global warming. One of the major greenhouse gasses is CO2 and the various efforts are focused on curbing its emissions. Using the case of a multipurpose and residential building at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Northwestern Spain, this study assessed the environmental impact of installing smart lighting. This study quantifies the CO2 emission reduction, and economic cost associated to the technical improvement. Such action resulted to saving 126 MWh and a reduction of carbon emissions of 25 T annually, with a return period of six years.

    DNA Barcoding of Red Jungle Fowls (Gallus gallus philipensis Hatchisuka) from Different Mountain Areas in the Philippines
    School of Environmental Science and Management, University of the Philippines Los Banos ; 2013

    Abstract: Initially proposed as a global standard for rapid species identification, DNA barcodes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I or COI in the mitochondrial genome) were determined to assess diversity and genetic distances among 25 red jungle fowls (Gallus gallus philipensis Hatchisuka) obtained from different mountain areas in 23 provinces of 12 islands in the Philippines. Results of the evolutionary analyses using Kimura two-parameter model in MEGA5 indicated existence of two main evolutionary clades, and effectiveness of DNA barcodes in identifying and differentiatiang red jungle fowls between and within clades. Genbank-accessed COI sequences of three subspecies of red jungle fowls (Gallus gallus gallus, Gallus gallus bankiva, Gallus gallus spadiceus) and three Gallus species (G. lafayettei, G. sonneratii, G. varius) were clustered in the intermediate zone between differentiated populations of Philippine red jungle fowls, but more recently diverged with those in Clade A. Based on 627 positions from 25 COI sequences, average genetic distance among red jungle fowls was 0.254 units, demonstrating close resemblance within clade, but greater divergence between clades (d 〉 1). Genetic divergence within Clade A (d=0.294) was higher than Clade B (d=0.215). Moreover, pooled pair-wise genetic distance was not significantly correlated (P 〉 0.05) with geographical distances among red jungle fowls between and within clades. Evolutionary analysis of the DNA barcodes of Philippine red jungle fowls provided important information on genetic variability and population structure useful to support decisions on agrobiodiversity conservation and research in upland areas.
