Giant loggerhead Pawikan found in Masao, Butuan
BUTUAN CITY – A giant loggerhead pawikan was found in Masao, Butuan by a fisherman named Milanio Malinao last June 4, 2009.
The pawikan measuring 104.1 cm in length and 86.4 cm in width was identified as belonging to the Loggerhead specie by Forester Requerme Hebia, Chief of the Protected Areas & Wildlife of CENRO Butuan.
Of the 7 known species of marine turtles in the world, 5 are found in the Philippines namely, the loggerhead, leatherback, olive ridley, hawksbill and green turtle.
“This is the 3rd time in 2009 that a pawikan was caught in the same area but the previous two are undocumented, and this is the largest so far”, said Forester Hebia.
Forester Hebia upon examination of the rescued giant Loggerhead pawikan showed that it has no injuries, no markings or tags on its flippers which are an indicator that it has not been caught before.
After the tagging on her right flipper, at exactly 11 o’clock in the morning, Forester Hebia, CENRO Staff, along with personnel from the City Environment and Natural Resources of the city government of Butuan and several Masao residents, the loggerhead pawikan was released back to the sea.
Last year, 4 pawikans were found in Caraga identified as a Leatherback specie and was properly documented. (Jocelyn E. Morano, dxBN-Radyo ng Bayan Butuan/PIA-Caraga)

According to former DOTC Undersecretary Art Valdez, the team will attempt to set a record by travelling around the world using the ancient Filipino sailing vessel called Balanghai or Butuan Boat, the first phase consists of 7 legs around Philippine waters namely Manila, Boracay, Mactan in Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, General Santos, Davao City and Siluag in Tawi-tawi before it begins to retrace the trading routes in Southeast Asia on 2010.

Butuan Boat primarily was chosen because it is the very first mode of transportation used by the forefathers in trading with the Chinese and other Asians and it has been used long before the Philippines was discovered, as Butuanons proudly say: “There was no Philippines, but there was Butuan”.

.
The Balangay was created using ancient construction methods. The shell is made of Dungon, which is the wood used by Philippine ancestors, while the planks are connected with pegs (the "dowels") and to make the Balanghai water-tight, the builders used natural resin from mangrove trees.

The Balangay measured 15 meters long and 3 meters wide is located near Folk Arts Theater and the Sun Cruises Ferry going to Corregidor. (Jocelyn E. Morano, dxBN-Radyo ng Bayan Butuan/PIA-Caraga)

Gov’t workers in Butuan City join call for public support to mitigate climate change
BUTUAN CITY – Government workers led by the DENR personnel have staged a five-kilometer early morning hike through the well-paved streets in Butuan City on Friday in celebration of World Environment Day on Friday, May 5, 2009.
The celebration is focused on the theme “Your Planet needs You-Unite to Combat Climate Change”.
The government workers were apparently moved by the global concern on climate in which many countries including the Philippine are affected.
Residents were greeted by the sirens blast as the participants have passed through the streets of the busy commercial center sending strong message to the people to unite and find effective measures they can possibly contribute to reduce heavy emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).
DENR Secretary Lito Atienza,Jr has enjoined the citizenry to take active part in various environmental protection activities as the country joins the global community in celebrating World Environment Day (WED).
“Let us all join the fight against climate change. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and we at the DENR are very much committed to address this issue, so let us work together to combat climate change which is the biggest and most threatening environmental issue facing mankind today,” Secretary Atienza said.
The Philippines, he said, is one of the countries most susceptible to climate change, especially extreme weather events. “Climate change could have a devastating impact on the Philippines, which could lead to widespread destruction of the country's flora and fauna, flooding and landslides,” he said
Every individual's efforts, no matter how small, can contribute to the sustainable development of our economies and communities around the world, he added.
Atienza said the special day could be celebrated by taking part in waste recycling and clean-up campaigns as well as tree planting and other reforestation activities.
In an interview with the local newsmen shortly after a brief program at the Rizal Plaza in Butuan City, the DENR Technical Director for Forest Management Services Virgilio dela Cruz said the “ global climate change has affected the weather system in the country”.
Experts on climate change reported that more than 100 years now the people worldwide have been burning fossil fuels releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse into the atmosphere. These added greenhouses gases have caused Earth to warm more quickly than it has in the past.
“How much warming has happened? Scientists from around the world with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) tell us that during the past 100 years, the world's surface air temperature increased an average of 0.6° Celsius (1.1°F This may not sound like very much change, but even one degree can affect the Earth the report said.
Below are some effects of climate change that we see happening now.
