Executive Summary

The Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) of the Philippines undertook the FAO/Government Cooperative project Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in Asia and the Pacific Region to draw/assess the current status of PGRFA in order to fill information gaps, to identify their needs and priorities for the conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA, to improve national capacity in monitoring PGRFA activities, and to share with the region successful experiences in the implementation of GPA priority activity areas related to in situ conservation and on farm management.

A total of 35 participants from 32 member-institutions of the Philippine National Network on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture participated in three national consultation workshops and meetings on the Establishment of the National Information Sharing Mechanism for the Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (NISM-GPA).

The first consultation workshop in 2003 aimed to develop a strategy for the establishment of the NISM, define the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders in the establishment of the NISM, review and revise, if necessary, the information in the “common tables” of the reporting format and recommend adoption of the information gathered/generated, develop a plan of action for implementation and in the process, assessed the status of the PGRFA Network and determine its needs and priorities; and train SHs on the use of NISM-GPA computer application software.

The second meeting in 2004 aimed to start the establishment of the national GPA-NISM, further define roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and the national focal person, discuss and distribute the reporting format and to agree on the kind of information to gather and share, train SHs on the use of the NISM-GPA computer application and distribute the SH’s version of the NISM-GPA computer application for the SHs to answer the questions and update the information to the Common Tables, and develop and agree on a work plan for gathering the needed information and the submission of data for compilation and submission to FAO.

The third meeting in 2006 aimed to review and finalize the draft reports for submission to FAO (the Draft Report of the Establishment of the NISM on the Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in the Philippines, and the Draft Report of the Current State and Future Priority for the Conservation and Utilization of PGRFA in the Philippines), discuss achievements, constraints and suggestion to improve the NISM, and discuss the next steps and future plans in the implementation of the NISM by agreeing on a strategy for regular updating and maintenance in continuity of the NISM in the Philippines, including the use of the

iv

NISM webpage for sharing information and for publishing the work, and identifying needs for the successful establishment of the NISM.

A Steering Committee was created by the NFP for the smooth implementation

of the project, consisting of the core team members of the PNNPGRFA, BPI staff and a representative from a non-government organization.

Surveying and inventorying of PGRFA conducted by five institutions on 26 crops using qualitative and quantitative survey techniques showed that most of the traditional varieties of crops are threatened due to the introduction of formal variety releases, land conversion, habitat and human destruction, tan barking and charcoal making in mangrove, weather disturbances, local/internal conflict, lack of knowledge on proper utilization of forest resources and expansion of ecotourism areas. To address these concerns, it was suggested that establishment of an information system for the survey and inventory of PGRFA and training on computer operation and information systems were needed.

Projects on on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA of 9 crops were conducted. There was low integration of on-farm management into the national programme, and limitations to on-farm management were attributed to insufficient seed or planting material, insufficient number of staff, insufficient financial support, and on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA not being a national priority.

Activities to assist farmers in disaster situations were led by the Department of Agriculture and were also conducted by government and non-government organizations. The constraints identified were insufficient financial support and unavailability of the germplasm for reintroduction and restoration.

There are several legislations in place to promote the in situ conservation of wild crop relatives and wild plants for food production. Funding and capacity builidng were identified as necessary for the activity.

Twenty-two stakeholders conducted 74 projects that sustained existing ex situ collections. Twenty-one stakeholders maintain 50,082 accessions of 851 taxa, with 2,222 accessions safety-duplicated. Sixteen non-stakeholder agencies hold 122,880 accessions of 265 taxa, with the International Rice Research Institute holding the overwhelming majority at 116,28 accessions of Oryza. Conservation strategies include field genebanks (15 stakeholders), seed stores (7 stakeholders), in vitro (6 stakeholders) and pollen (1 stakeholder). Stock inventories and viability monitoring are performed regularly, and 6 stakeholders use computer-based information systems. Major constraints were funding, insufficient staff, lack of training and facilities and occurrence of pests and diseases. Characterization and evaluation, maintenance of field genebanks, collecting in areas with high enetic erosion and retrieval of lost collections should be given attention.

v

Six projects performed regeneration of PGRFA using standard protocols. The high cost of regeneration was a major constraint.

A total of 12 collecting missions were done by 6 stakeholders on 9 crops. Priority species for collecting were identified. There is no policy for targeted collecting of rare, endangered or threatened species.

To expand ex situ conservation activities, national network has identified the need to undertake in vitro conservation, cryopreservation and ultra-dry seed storage, the need to expand ex situ conservation activities for other wild food species, and inventory and collection of threatened species.

Seventeen stakeholders conducted 40 ex situ projects on characterization and evaluation of PGRFA in 53 taxa. Capacity to perform morphological traits characterization was reported by 17 stakeholders, molecular markers characterization by 5 stakeholders, abiotic stress evaluation by 6 stakeholders, biotic stress evaluation by 9 stakeholders, and biochemical evaluation by 3 stakeholders. collaboration and complementation between researchers, farmers and genebanks to enhance exchange of characterization and evaluation information should be promoted, and evaluation for traits of economic importance must be given priority.

Twenty projects on improvement of 7 crops for yield, resistance to pests and diseases, tolerance to abiotic stresses and improved quality were reported. Eighteen projects were conducted by 11 SHs involving more than 16 taxa, on assessing/monitoring intra-specific diversity in crops, increasing intra-specific diversity in crops, assessing/ monitoring diversity in agricultural systems, increasing diversity in agricultural systems and participatory diversity methods application. Major constraints and needs were Obstacles to officially release heterogeneous material as cultivars, awareness on the utilization of lesser known PGRFA, need to consolidate available information on uses and value of lesser known PGRFA and develop strategies for their promotion, and need to develop markets for local products of farmers.

Seven projects to develop or commercialize under-utilized crops or species, local varieties and/or 'diversity-rich' products were conducted by 9 stakeholders, involving crop improvement, seed distribution, improving processing, market development and public awareness. The needs identified include research and development on value addition and diversification for indigenous under-utilized PGRFA, analysis of food and medicinal compositions of indigenous plants, and research on product development of underutilized crop species.

The Seed Industry Act promotes the development and expansion of the local seed systems for cereal, legumes, rootcrops, certain vegetables, fruits, industrial crops and ornamentals. Listings of registered varieties could be found in a catalogue that gives information on the taxon name, target agro-ecology, characteristics regarding reactions to pests and diseases and grain quality. Seed

vi

quality standards like physical purity, germinability and others are applied in cereals, legumes and vegetables. The government prescribes and supports the production and distribution of planting materials of the registered varieties. However, there is no government incentive for quality seed production of local varieties and under-utilized crops. The present seed certification system is limited only to registered varieties, and does not accommodate farmers’ and traditional varieties.

Fourteen stakeholders conducted 27 projects on 12 crops focusing on seed production, distribution, processing, storage, quality control, participatory community-based activities and linkages between formal and informal seed sectors. The identified needs include the integration of the informal seed production system into the formal seed system and vice versa.

Developing value-added processing of 'diversity-rich' products for commercial purposes was done on 9 crops. Constraints identified include uniformity standards in the country that discourage 'diversity rich' products, insufficient seed or planting material, and emphasis on modern cultivars of staple crops.

There were two initiatives to build a national PGRFA rpogramme in the Philippines. The National Committee on Plant Genetic Resources, set the directions and policies on plant genetic resources conservation and management. The PNNPGRFA operationalized a system of sustainable conservation and use of PGRFA.

Nine local institutions working on PGRFA have collaborated with 12 crop networks to conduct 17 projects.

There is no standardized PGRFA data management and information system in the country. Nine stakeholders developed/ used different information systems. Constraints include lack of staff, training and equipment.

There is limited development of monitoring and early warning systems for loss of PGRFA on 3 crops. Funding is the primary constraint.

A total of 200 staff of 18 stakeholders participated in 69 training courses on different aspects of PGRFA conservation and management. Identified training needs include molecular characterization, PGR enhancement, diversity assessment, core collections, and surveying.

There is no formal programme in the country to promote public awareness of the value of PGRFA. Twelve stakeholders developed public awareness materials for PGRFA.

The identified constraints to the improvement of the national information sharing mechansism include equipment, personnel and logistics. Achievements include the electronic form of PGR data, and close collaboration and information

vii

sharing among stakeholders.

The BPI commits to continue the maintenance and dissemination of the NISM, support training of representatives of stakeholders, and seek funding mechanisms to support the implementation of the NISM.

Background Information The Global Plan of Action (GPA) for the conservation and sustainable use of

plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) is a reponse of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) where conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA were not elucidated. The GPA covers the subset of plant genetic resources pertaining specifically to food and agriculture. The Conference of Parties to the CBD at its Second Session in 1995 declared its support for the development of a Plan “for Food and Agriculture”. It provides a coherent framework for activities in the field of in situ and ex situ conservation, in sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources, as well as in institution- and capacity-building. It hopes to contribute to creating synergies among on-going activities, as well as more efficient use of available resources.

The GPA is a rolling plan, with programmes and activities aimed at filling in gaps, overcoming constraints and facing emergency situations identified in the FAO Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources. The periodically updated Plan will permit the Commission to recommend priorities and to promote the rationalization and coordination of efforts.

One of the activities of the GPA, Activity 17, deals with “Constructing Comprehensive Information Systems for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture”. The Philippines is a participant in the process that developed the GPA and is also one of the signatories. The country therefore supports all the activities of the GPA.

In 2003, the Government of the Philippines signed an agreement with the FAO to undertake the FAO/Government Cooperative project, GCP/RAS/186/JPN, Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in Asia and the Pacific Region, which is funded by the Government of Japan. Seven countries (Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam) participated in the project. The overall objectives of the project were: • To draw/assess the current status of PGRFA in order to fill information gaps in

each of the participating countries and to identify their needs and priorities for the conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA within the framework of GPA for the conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA.

• To improve national capacity in monitoring PGRFA activities within the framework of the GPA by empowering them with tools for leading efficient decision-making processes, evaluating and developing PGRFA policies at national level.

• To share with the region successful experiences in the implementation of GPA priority activity areas related to in situ conservation and on farm management and to improve national capacity in carrying out PGRFA in situ conservation and on farm management.

CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS FOR ESTABLISHING THE

PHILIPPINE NATIONAL INFORMATION SHARING MECHANISM ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GPA

Consultation in Bangkok, Thailand On October 13-15, 2003, the Philippines’ National Focal Point (NFP) for the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project and Team Leader of the Philippine National Network for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PNNPGRFA), Mr. C. Baniqued, attended the first regional focal point consultation of the GCP/RAS/186/JPN organized by the Secretariat of the project at FAORAP in Bangkok. The objectives for establishing a NISM-GPA are: (1) to gather and document PGR activities to improve the ability of countries on decision-making on the conservation and sustainable use of PGR, including priority setting and resources allocation; (2) to build a stronger partnerships among SHs in PGR research and management in the country; (3) to increase understanding among the SHs about the status of PGR in each country; (4) to increase the ability of countries to monitor the implementation of GPA including changes in the status in their PGR over time; and (5) to improve quality on information about PGR and its accessibility to national, regional and global levels.

During the meeting the processes involved in and the computer tool used for the establishment of the NISM-GPA were presented and discussed. The meeting decided to adopt the test version (1.8 and its later versions) of the NISM-GPA computer application, which was being developed by FAO with collaboration from

3

the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) and the recommended processes for the establishment of the information sharing mechanism. Project member countries were asked to develop plans to accomplish the work within the time limit of the project. Subsequently, Mr. Baniqued, the NFP of the project and the CTA, had developed a plan and the Terms of Reference of the Letter of Agreement for establishing the NISM-GPA to be signed by ADG of FAORAP and the then Director of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture (DA-BPI), Mr. Hernani Golez. A consensus was reached that three or four national SHs’ meetings/ workshops, including training on the use of computer application software on NISM-GPA were needed to establish the mechanism. Preparatory Activities for the First National Consultation on NISM

In November 2003, member-institutions of the PNNPGRFA were invited to attend the First National Consultation Workshop on the Establishment of the National Information Sharing Mechanism for the Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. A total of 35 participants were sent to the NFP from the 22 member-institutions.

Meanwhile, arrangements for the first meeting were agreed by NFP and the

FAO Regional Office in Bangkok. Topics for the consultation/workshop were discussed, formulated and finalized. Resource persons were identified, and the meeting was set for January 27-29, 2004. First Stakeholders’ Meeting

The first SHs’ consultation workshop was held on January 27-29 at the

Bayview Hotel, Manila. Thirty (30) participants representing 22 SHs attended the consultation. The resource persons were composed of the Mr. Ceferino Baniqued, team leader and National Focal Person, three core members of the PNNPGRFA, Dr. Quat Ng, Chief Technical Adviser of the GPA project and Dr. Percy Sajise and Dr. Paul Quek, representatives of IPGRI .

The objectives of the meeting were to: 1) develop a strategy for the

establishment of the NISM, 2) define the roles and responsibilities of the SHs in the establishment of the NISM, 3) review and revise, if necessary, the information in the “COMMON TABLES” of the reporting format and recommend adoption of the information gathered/generated, 4) develop a plan of action for implementation and in the process, assessed the status of the PGRFA Network and determine its needs and priorities; and (5) to train SHs on the use of NISM-GPA computer application software.

An introduction of the establishment of the NISM as one of the activities for

the implementation of GPA, the purpose of the consultation/workshop and the expected output were presented and discussed by the NFP. Presentations included

4

the following topics: 1) the implementation and activities of the GPA, 2) the FAO’s role in facilitating the development of ITPGRFA, 3) implementation of NISM-GPA in the Philippines.

The Indicators and Reporting Format for monitoring the GPA implementation

was presented. A hard copy of the document was distributed to each SH. There were six other presentations made during the workshop including

discussions on the implementation and activities of the GPA; the FAO’s role in facilitating the development of ITPGRFA; implementation of PGRFA in the Philippines; and information on course offering on PGR by some universities in the Philippines (see Annex 1).

Dr. Paul Quek and Dr. Quat Ng briefly introduced and demonstrated the use

of the InfoBase and NISM-GPA softwares, respectively. The participants conducted hands-on practice on using the software using computers provided for the purpose. Dr. Quek also demonstrated how to use MS Excel to update the information on Common Tables. Hard copies of the Common Tables, exported from the NISM-GPA computer application were printed out and given to the SHs to fill in the proper information. Copies of the Excel tables and the NISM-GPA software were provided to the SHs.

The SHs agreed on a work plan for the NISM implementation in the

Philippines (Table 1). The roles and responsibilities of the NFP and SHs were discussed and agreed upon. An intensive training on the use of the NISM-GPA computer application was scheduled for the Second SH workshop.

Participants were also introduced to the use of MicroSoft Excel software to

facilitate the filling up of information necessary for the Common Tables. Excel tables exported from the Common Tables were printed and given to the SHs, as well as the electronic version of the tables. It was agreed that the SHs shall submit information

5

for five tables, namely the Cultab, Protab, Reftab, Protab and Instab to the NFP. Then the NFP shall update the data to the existing tables before the second meeting It was also agreed that the PNNPGRFA will be tapped to facilitate the NISM-GPA activities. Additional SHincluding IRRI will be invited in the next meeting.

It was agreed that the SHs would send the updated information for the

common tables in hard copies or electronic format (Excel files) to the NFP before or during the second meeting so that the SHs version of the NISM-GPA application software could be created.

LOA/RAP/2004/01 The signing of the letter agreement between the FAO represented by Dr. Quat Ng, Chief Technical Adviser of the Project GCP/RAS/186/JPN and the Director of DA-BPI, Philippines as the recipient for the establishment of the NISM for the implementation of the GPA in the Philippines was also held during the first SH meeting. The agreement specified the roles and responsibilities of both parties for the establishment of NISM-GPA. Second SHs’ Meeting

The second SHs’ Meeting was conducted on June 9-11, 2004 at the Aloha Hotel, Manila, with the following objectives: 1) to start the establishment of the national GPA-NISM, 2) to further define roles and responsibilities of SHs and NFP, 3) to discuss and distribute the reporting format and to agree on the kind of information to gather and share, 4) to train SHs on the use of the NISM-GPA computer application and distribute the SH’s version of the NISM-GPA computer application for the SHs to answer the questions and update the information to the Common Tables, and 5) to develop and agree on a work plan for gathering the needed information and the submission of data by the SHs to the NFP for compilation and submission to FAO.

The participants to the meeting were the same SHs who attended the first

meeting (Table 2). Mr. Stefano Diulgheroff of FAO Rome, and Drs. Paul Quek and Quat Ng provided the training on the NISM-GPA software.

Only 6 SHs were able to submit the information for the Common Tables prior

to the second meeting. Unfortunately, the information had not yet been merged onto the National Focal Point’s version of the NISM-GPA. The experiences, problems and gaps for the failure of network members to complete and submit the common tables were discussed and reasons given were the following: a) the Indicators and Reporting Format for monitoring the GPA was not clear to all SHs even though a hard copy of the document had been provided to every participant during the last meeting, b) there was neither a feedback mechanism in place for SHs to know if what they have submitted were received, nor was there a system of communication when submitted documents were never retrieved, c) capability of the existing

6

computers was also a constraint, d) the focal persons did not have all the information needed, so there was really a need for an institutional meeting or survey to obtain the required information, this however, is not done yet at the SH level, and e) the designated focal persons must be recognized by their institutions, probably through a special order, as the authorized person to collate and provide the information on their GPA implementation, (f) there was no clear authority given to the Information Officer of BPI to gather and collect information from SHs, and (g) most SHs did not adhere to the time schedule for submitting the information They did not ask any help nor indicate any difficulty to the NFP who could arrange technical support to assist them; and (h) most SH representatives attending the meeting have limited experience on using computers.

TOTAL 32 37 During this second meeting, the participants had hands-on training/practice

on answering the questionaire using the NISM-GPA computer application. They were re-introduced to the basics of data management using the Microsoft Excel software needed for submission of the common tables.

During the meeting, it was agreed that: 1) the Director of BPI will appoint a

replacement as National Coordinator for Mr. Baniqued after his retirement; and 2) a project steering committee will be established to guide, oversee and help implement the activity. Third SHs’ Meeting This meeting was conducted on November 22-23, 2006 at the Bayview Park Hotel which was for the first time attended by the FAO Representative to the Philippines, Mr. Kazuyuki Tsurumi and 22 participants from 20 participating stakeholders.

The participants reviewed each topic to finalize the two draft reports for

7

submission to FAO, discussed achievements, constraints and suggestion on how to improve the NISM, and discussed the next steps and future plans in the implementation of the NISM by agreeing on a strategy for regular updating and maintenance in continuity of the NISM in the Philippines, including the use of the NISM webpage for sharing information and for publishing the work, and identifying needs for the successful establishment of the NISM.

Finally, the BPI Office-in-Charge affirmed the agency’s commitment to

implement the plans and guaranteed assistance by BPI for the maintenance and dissemination of GPA-NISM to assure the success of the project. Data Validation, Analysis and Writing of Reports The common tables (INSTAB, PERTAB, REFTAB and PROTAB) were submitted to the NFP by the different participating SHs. Data added and updated by the SHs in each table were merged to the existing tables to create Excel files with the same name of each table. The merging of the data in the existing tables was necessary for validation and to avoid duplication of data. After data validation, the newly created tables (INSTAB, PERTAB, REFTAB and PROTAB) were imported to the NISM-GPA software to update the records of the existing tables therein. Copies of the software were sent to all the SHs in compact disks. Each SH was required to provide information on how it addressed each of the twenty priority areas of of GPA. A zip file of the survey data were submitted by the SHs to the NFP. These zip files were then merged into the NFP’s copy of the software for validation, consolidation and creation of a national profile. The set of data in each item of the twenty priority areas were exported to Excel files for data management and analysis. These files were used in the preparation of the draft reports of 1) “The Establishment of the National Information Sharing Mechanism on the Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in the Philippines” and 2) “Current State and Future Priority for the Conservation and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in the Philippines” for submission to FAO. CHAPTER 2 PARTICIPATING AGENCIES

CHAPTER 3 STEERING COMMITTEE OF THE NISM-GPA AND FLOW OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY STAKEHOLDERS

A Steering Committee was created by the NFP for the smooth implementation

of the project, consisting of the core team members of the PNNPGRFA, BPI staff and a representative from a non-government organization (NGO).

Figure 1 shows the structure of the GPA–NISM implementation. The BPI

Director serves as the National Focal Person (NFP) and chair of the Steering Committee with the National Coordinator acting as the Secretary and regional coordinator for Luzon. Regional coordinators for Mindanao and Visayas were identified to facilitate communication.among SHs.

SHs agreed on the schedule of submission of the information of the NISM to the NFP. Twenty-seven of the 31 SHs were able to submit the common table, namely PROTAB, PERTAB, REFTAB and INSTAB. The submission by the NPGRL, the national germplasm repository was delayed due to some institutional constraints. Data validation from the different SHs was done on schedule.

A close monitoring on the progress of data input was done through cellular

phone, land line and e-mail communication. During the course of monitoring, some of the SHs were visited and assisted technically and in data encoding by the National Coordinator. Twenty-one (21) of the expected 27 SHs were able to send the zip files containing the answers to the questionnaire for data merging into the NISM system (Table 3).

Merging the individual SHs’ data into the application was done using the NFP’s version of the NISM-GPA computer application program. All data were checked and duplicate entries were rejected. The answers to the different priority area questions were exported as excel files for ease of reading. The tables were printed for easy reference in the preparation of the final report to be validated by the SHs at the third consultation meeting before finally submitting to FAO.

CHAPTER 4 HIGHLIGHTS OF FINDINGS FROM THE DATA GATHERED AND ANALYZED

A. In situ Conservation and Development Priority Area 1 Surveying and Inventorying Plant Genetic Resources for Food

and Agriculture

Surveying and inventorying had been conducted in the Ilocos Region, Southern Luzon, Bohol, Palawan, Sarangani and Tawi-tawi by five institutions. The crops surveyed included rice (SEARICE); almaciga, mangrove (WPU); mango and other fruit cultivars, tugui, ubi, taro, sweetpotato, corn, mungbean, peanut, cowpea, yambean, bamboo, tomato, eggplant, pepper, garlic, onion, tomato, okra, jute, basella, amaranth, vegetables, ornamentals and fruit trees (MMSU), coconut (PCA) and wild forest indigenous/not popular species of vegetables such as vegetables, root cops and fruits which are vanishing (DMMMSU).

The institutions used qualitative and quantitative survey techniques including

individual interviews, PGR mapping, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), and Variable Transect Method for Rapid Assessment of Tropical Plant Communities in the survey. The survey results revealed that most of the traditional varieties of crops are threatened due to the introduction of formal releases including hybrids and GMOs, land conversion, habitat and human destruction, tan barking and charcoal making in mangrove, weather disturbances, local/internal conflict, lack of knowledge on proper utilization of forest resources and expansion of ecotourism areas. The implementation of some government programs like promotion of hybrid rice, low family income, corruption, absence of proper monitoring of concerned agencies, and population growth are some of the cited reasons for the loss of traditional varieties.

In North Cotabato and Bohol, traditional rice varieties are still being grown. In

Palawan, on the other hand, there is a high diversity in the species of mangrove but some were destroyed due to tan barking.

Although surveying activities are included in the National Environmental

Action Plan (NEAP), the activities are limited due to insufficient funding. The SHs recommended the identification of priorities, constraints and opportunities for successful surveys and inventories. Comments on surveying and inventorying PGRFA

Eight SHs provided comments on the surveying and inventorying activity of

PGR in the country. The establishment of an information system for the survey and inventory of PGRFA was suggested. As well, training on computer operation and information systems was deemed necessary.

16

Activities on survey and inventory of PGRFA were not given priority due to lack of funds and inadequate human resources. Survey and inventory in areas with unique of PGRFA must be conducted, taking into account the provisions of relevant laws and policies.

Indigenous knowledge should be considered as an important component of

surveying and inventorying activities of PGRFA. To facilitate survey and inventory, training and capacity building should be

undertaken in areas such as taxonomy, population biology, ethnobotany, eco-regional and intra-specific diversity in agroecological system and molecular analysis. Priority Area 2 Supporting On-Farm Management and Improvement of Plant

Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture Fourteen (14) projects addressing on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA on corn, fruits, garlic and onion, rice, coconut, mango, ube and indigenous vegetables were reported. The projects involved local government units, a state college and farmers’ association/organizations. The number of farmers who participated ranged from 32 to 1309. The activities of the projects included the establishment of pilot sites in areas of high diversity; assessment of farmers' knowledge; characterization and evaluation of local varieties; studies on the population structure and dynamics of local varieties; assessment of utilization and management of local varieties; socio-economic assessment of on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA; and environmental assessment of on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA. The level of integration into national programme of on-farm management of PGRFA and the level of priority for on-farm management are low. The major limitations to on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA in the country are: 1) inadequate incentives provided to farmer; 2) insufficient seed or planting material; 3) insufficient number of staff; 4) insufficient financial support; and 5) on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA are not a national priority. Comments on promoting on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA To promote on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA, the following comments and some recommendations were given by SHs

In Mindanao, activities for the promotion of on-farm management and

improvement of PGRFA were mostly done by NGOs. It was recommended that the Philippine government should also initiate similar activities and forge collaboration with the NGOs.

17

It was stressed that assistance should be given to farmers on on-farm conservation and improvement.

Finally, on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA is an important concern but not a priority, due to lack of funds.

Priority Area 3 Assisting Farmers in Disaster Situations to Restore

Agricultural Systems Disasters like typhoon, earthquake and others caused by biological factors, in the Philippines pose a great threat to agricultural systems. The DA spearheads the rapid response mechanisms of the government in assisting farmers id disaster situations. There are also institutional mechanisms in place in both government and non-government organizations. Community banks like the center-based, medium-term cold storage seedbank of the Tripartite Collaboration between the Central Visayas State College of Agriculture, Forestry and Technology (CVSCAFT), Community Biodiversity Development and Conservation Programme (CBDC-Bohol) and the Farmers' Consultative Council (FCC), Malitbog Sustainable Farmer's Association Seedbank, Del Carmen Community Seed Bank, Ilustre Community Seed bank, Kabacan Community Seedbank, CONSERVE Center Based Seed bank and the BPI-NMRDC have been established and strengthened to facilitate reintroduction of germplasm lost during disasters.

On the other hand, PhilRice focuses on disaster that are of biological in nature more particularly that of invasive alien species like the giant earthworms, golden apple snail and rats. An example is in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, where around 300 traditional rice varieties are threatened because of the presence of these invasive species. Information on the local seed supply is adequate to identify and facilitate germplasm reintroduction following disasters. An example of restoration project was when the drought in North Cotabato in 1997 and in Bohol (2002) caused destruction in some varieties of rice, corn vegetables and fruit trees and rice, respectively. Germplasm from farmers and CONSERVE center based seed bank, University of Southern Mindanao were used to reintroduce the lost germplasm. Insufficient financial support and unavailability of the germplasm for reintroduction and restoration are the two greatest constraints to restoration of the locally adapted germplasm following a disaster.

18

Comments on the reintroduction of locally adapted germplasm and assisting farmers in the restoration of agricultural systems in the country following disaster

Government support for the reintroduction and restoration of germplasm lost during disaster situations is essential. The local government unit should also be directly involved in the distribution of planting materials to the calamity-affected areas. It is also recommended that the re-introduced planting materials must be maintained by the community, and the varieties adapted to their community must always be made available.

Priority Area 4 Promoting In Situ Conservation of Wild Crop Relatives and

Wild Plants for Food Production The Philippine Government supports the in situ conservation of wild crop relatives and wild plants for food production. Laws have been enacted to protect and conserve wild crop relatives and wild plants for food production. These laws are the Republic Act 7586 (National Integrated Protected Areas System Act), Republic Act 7308 (Seed Act), Republic Act 7611 (Strategic Environmental Plan for Palawan Act), Republic Act 8371 (Indigenous People's Rights Act), Republic Act 8423 (Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act), Republic Act 9147 (Wildlife Protection Act) and Republic Act 9168 (Philippine Plant Variety Protection Act). The status of the wild crop relatives are considered in environmental impact assessments (EIAs). Comments on promoting in situ conservation of wild crop relatives and wild food plants

To promote in situ conservation of wild crop relatives and wild plants for food

in the Philippines, the government should prioritize such activities and should allocate funds for its implementation. There is also a need for capacity building.

ERDB had published a guide book on “Food for the Wilderness”. This is a

compilation of descriptions and uses of 100 wild food species from the forests and other habitats. Publications like this could increase the awareness of the public on the importance of wild plants.

B. Ex Situ Conservation Priority Area 5 Sustaining Existing Ex Situ Collections

Table 4 shows the projects on sustaining ex situ collections carried out by the SHs. An SH has been doing breeding, seed production and distribution and research in the conduct of their 21 ex situ conservation projects. Other activities like conduct of seminars; dispersal/distribution of good seeds; collection,

19

characterization, and evaluation of all collections; pollen conservation; screening for disease resistance; center and community-based seed banking; tree planting of indigenous species and germplasm conservation under screenhouse are also being done by other SHs.

Field genebanking is the most common activity (17 SHs, 43 projects) done by

the SHs (Table 4a), followed by in vitro conservation (8 SHs, 10 projects). However, even if only 7 stakeholders are doing seed genebanking, there are 32 projects that is undergoing this activity. IPB-NPGRL is the only institution that conducts breeding and seed production in their 21 projects, PCA-ZRC on the other hand, is the only institution that conserves germplasm through DNA and pollen.

ERDB has its duplicates sent to their other branches located in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Region 11, and Region 6. DA-STIARC because of their project sent their duplicates to BPI National Crop Research and Development Centers in Baguio and Davao. On the other hand, SEARICE and PCA-ZRC have their duplicates at PhilRice and Panay State Polytechnic College, respectively.

Table 5a gives the number of accessions of the different crop species maintained by 16 agencies/SHs that are not yet participating in the establishment of the NISM in thecountry. A total of 122,880 accessions of 265 crop species are held by these agencies. IRRI holds the highest number of accessions of Oryza sativa which totals 116,928. Table 5a.

Publications on ex situ activities are mostly in the form of hard copies

containing passport data, evaluation/characterization data, regeneration data and sometimes requests and distribution data.

NARC, PhilRice, PCA-ZRC, DOA-UPLB, IPB-NPGRL and BPI-DNCRDC

reported to be using information systems (computer-based software) that are used to store, manage or analyze data on ex situ collections that they are currently holding. These are Abaca Germplasm Information system, Germplasm Data Management System for PhilRice; International Coconut Genetic Resources Database and Coconut Data Management for PCA-ZRC, iRice for DOA-UPLB, Musa Germplasm Information System and CanePoint for IPB-NPGRL and Musa Germplasm Information System for BPI-DNCRDC.

On establishing cooperation with regional crop networks or international

organizations to conserve accessions, PCA-ZRC has entered through a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with IPGRI to undertake the research projects on molecular marker-based characterization of conserved coconut germplasm, the application of standard protocols on coconut genomic DNA isolation, embryo culture and microsatellite (SSR) molecular markers.

All of the SHs believed that the major constraints in implementing ex situ activities are the lack of funding followed by insufficient staff and equipment. Lack of training and appropriate facilities also posed constraints as well as occurrence of pests and diseases and lack of focused approach (Table 9).

21 21 19 14 17 14 6 4 8 9 Priorities, needs and constraints to sustaining existing ex situ collections

SHs stressed that characterization and evaluation of existing ex situ

collections are inadequate; they need to be given attention to add value to the collection, and to improve their utilization which will help justify the need to sustain the ex situ collection. The support for the maintenance of field and seed genebanks is inadequate and needs to be addressed to insure the sustained maintenance of ex situ collections. Updated resource inventory/survey of bamboo, rattan, other medicinal plants, and wild food plants must be done for clearer action planning. There is a need for long term storage facilities for ex-situ conservation activities as support to genebank colllection for safety duplication of accessions. The national programme for sustaining ex-situ collections and promoting public awareness of the value of PGRFA for conservation and utilization must be strengthened. Retrieval of lost collections of tropical fruits, characterization of existing collections, and fund support should be given priority.

Collection efforts on areas where genetic erosion exists should be strengthened. There is a need to establish duplicate collections for collections located in areas that are affected by urbanization.

88

Improvement of facilities and equipment is needed to sustain the existence of ex-situ collections. It was suggested that the government should assist and support farming communities with their local initiatives on community seed banking, in terms of facilities, training, funding and others.

There is a need for skilled personnel to perform activities in ex-situ conservation and training on biochemical and molecular characterization

Lastly, it was emphasized that national support for ex situ conservation

should be sustained and not project-based. Priority Area 6 Regenerating Threatened Ex Situ Accessions Regeneration is a component activity of six (6) projects involving ex situ conservation (Table 10). A total of 4,269 accessions of different crops had already been regenerated according to established standards while 5,204 are yet to be regenerated. The standardized techniques for regeneration and multiplication of crop germplasm are followed by the SHs. The seed genebanks’ protocols on genebank operations and procedures for handling seeds in genebanks are used as guidelines in the regeneration projects. Regeneration is estimated to be completed from three to 10 years. Table 10 Regeneration of ex situ PGR collections conducted by SHs (1997-2006).

Manual on standardized research techniques in Coconut Breeding, Protocols

on Genebank Operations, Procedures for Handling Seeds in Genebanks, Regeneration and Multiplication of Germplasm Resources in Seed Genebanks: The Scientific Background are some of the published regeneration guidelines that the stakeholders from PCA-ZRC, NTA, IPB-NPGRL and BPI-LBNCRDC found to be useful in undertaking regeneration activities To reduce genetic changes or loss of genetic integrity, the SHs apply timely viability testing, suitable regeneration environment, appropriate sampling strategies, adequate isolation, adequate population size, and proper handling of regenerated material as management practices. Loss of genetic integrity in rice regeneration was reported due to too small sample size, low viability of regeneration sample, selection pressure from unsuitable environment, and mechanical contamination or loss due to improper handling.

90

For self-pollinated collections, the concerned SHs reported no backlog to on-going backlog. For cross-pollinated collections, their regeneration capability is from on-going backlog to growing backlog. SHs generally believe that their regeneration capabilities for accessions are better than that of other organizations. Priorities, needs and constraints to regenerating ex situ accessions

The cost of generating accessions that have fallen below acceptable levels of seed quality and quantity is prohibitive for our national program considering the present level of funding. As an emergency measure, seed quality for all seed collections should be determined, and emergency funds must be provided to insure the regeneration of accessions that are threatened.

Major constraints are the absence of adequate storage facilities, genetic

erosion, gap filling, lack of financial support, lack of training on regeneration of ex situ accessions and small area for regeneration.

Priority Area 7 Supporting Planned and Targeted Collecting of Plant

Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture Collecting missions carried out in almost the entire Philippines were

conducted by 6 SHs in 12 collecting missions for abaca, rice, coconut, maize, rootcrops, grasses, sorghum, indigenous vegetables and fruit crops and others. The highest number of accessions collected in missions was recorded to be that of rice with 1,137 accessions, followed with abaca which is 773 and the lowest is timber and lesser-used trees.

geographical coverage, missing known local cultivars/landraces and historical cultivars and incomplete coverage of targeted taxa, These were detected using comparison of stored material against organization mandate, comparison of stored material against historical references and comparison of stored material against geographical references Priorities, needs and constraints to support planned and targeted collecting PGRFA

The national PGR network has identified priority species for targeted collecting, among which are indigenous vegetables, yam, taro, traditional maize varieties, pili, Garcinia, mango, banana, abaca, wild rice species and wild type coconuts. There are qualified staff who can conduct the collecting activity.

One of the major constraints is the low priority of the institutions accorded to

plant genetic conservation activities. There is no policy in place for planned and targeted collecting of rare, endangered or threatened species (e.g. wild species of Oryza, Abelmoschus, Vigna, Mangifera, Musa, Canarium, medicinal plants and wild type coconut) of PGRFA. There are no on-going researches to identify gaps and identify threatened PGRFA.

Funding support needs to be provided for collecting, establishment and

maintenance, and initial regeneration.

Priority Area 8 Expanding Ex Situ Conservation Activities

Publications were made available by some of the SHs on management strategies and/or improved methodologies for ex situ conservation of PGR for information of interested individuals and researchers. Research on improved technologies for ex situ conservation of crop germplasm is an important activity. The SHs have identified their levels of but they have also identified the level of their needs to conduct researches on this aspect (Table 12).

Table 12 Stakeholders’ need and capacity for research on improved methodologies for ex situ conservation.

Priorities, needs and constraints to expanding ex situ conservation activities

The national network has identified the need to undertake in vitro conservation, cryopreservation and ultra-dry seed storage of appropriate species under appropriate conditions. Protocol development and verification need to be done for the last two strategies. The SHs identified the need to establish a database, more training for full time researchers, provision for the use of generated income, fiscal autonomy and involvement of the local units to expand and sustain the ex situ conservation activities.

The SHs identified the following priorities: 1) the need to expand ex situ

conservation activities for other wild food species, and 2) inventory and collection of threatened species. They also identified the following constraints encountered in ex situ conservation activities: 1) lack of funding support, training, and manpower, and 2) implementation of the bioprospecting provisions of Executive Order No. 247 (Prescribing Guidelines and Establishing a Regulatory Framework for the

SRA-LGAREC Highly Selected Male and Female Parental Stock 144 20.83 Some of the obstacles to establishing core collections in the country are the lack of financial support, lack of trained personnel, and inadequate available information on accessions. Priorities, needs and constraints to implementation

Lack of characterization and evaluation are major constraints in the use of plant genetic resources in breeding programs. The promotion of collaboration and complementation between researchers, farmers and genebanks to enhance exchange of characterization and evaluation information should be done. The national programme should include financial support and technical assistance on germplasm characterization and evaluation techniques and the establishment of core collections, and identifications of duplicates. Focus on evaluation for traits of economic importance must be given priority. There is a need for support from regional/international organizations, since information generated from these activities can be used to assess the magnitude of genetic diversity present in regionally/globally important germplam collections.

A total of 20 breeding projects on corn, rice, abaca, tobacco, coconut, food legumes and fruit have been reported. In general, the breeding objectives are the same, namely high yield, resistance to pests and diseases, tolerance to abiotic stresses and improved quality. Most of the germplasm utilized in crop improvenment were obtained from local genebanks, national genebanks, regional/international networks, CGIAR genebanks, public organizations from developed countries and the private sector.

The most common activities that were conducted for all the crops include setting breeding priorities and selecting from advanced lines or varieties (participatory varietal selection). For rice and corn, selecting from segregating populations and making crosses, and selecting/identifying parentals were also done.

101

The catalog of crop varieties recommended by the NSIC is given in the attachment. In addition some breeding institutions have released crop varieties not included in the NSIC list. Ten (10) SHs had conducted 17 projects concerning genetic enhancement in crops like papaya, mango, corn, rice, abaca, tobacco, coconut and food legumes. They conducted population improvement through incorporation of base broadening and genetic enhancement by introgression for specific traits not available in current breeding materials. In some crops, farmers are involved in the setting of priorities and the implementation of the program. Priorities, needs and constraints to implementation

Crop diversity studies should be done for corn under unfavorable environment and subsistence agriculture. Further enhancement and more links to novel technologies are needed to increase utilization of PGR.

There is minimal support for resource poor farmers in the upland countryside

development which poses a constraint in the implementation of participatory varietal improvement. There is a need to provide facilities for the genetic enhancement activities. Training courses on plant breeding and genetics and financial support should be provided. There is also a need for support to the breeding activities conducted by farmers such as recognition of farmer-breeders and recognition and protection of varieties developed by farmers. Priority Area 11 Promoting Sustainable Agriculture through Diversification

of Crop Production and Broader Diversity in Crops, Eighteen (18) projects were conducted by 11 SHs involving more than 16 taxa (Table 17). These projects covered the topics of assessing/monitoring intra-specific diversity in crops, increasing intra-specific diversity in crops, assessing/ monitoring diversity in agricultural systems, increasing diversity in agricultural systems and participatory diversity methods application.

The major constraints listed by the SHs in diversifying crop production and broadening diversity in crops are: Obstacles to officially release heterogeneous

103

material as cultivars, policy/legal obstacles, marketing/commercial obstacles, promotion and awareness on the utilization of lesser known PGRFA and land tenure. Priorities, needs and constraints to implementation

Incentive schemes must be provided to diversify crop production. There is a need to consolidate available information on uses and value of lesser known PGRFA and develop strategies for their promotion. The government should encourage farmers to diversify their crop, not merely monocropping, i.e. HVC-focused crops. There is a need to develop markets for local products of farmers. Finally, agricultural credit/loans should be provided to farmers growing traditional crop varieties. Priority Area 12 Promoting Development and Commercialization of Under-

Utilized Crops and Species

Seven (7) projects related to the development or commercialization of under-utilized crops or species, local varieties and/or 'diversity-rich' products have been conducted by 9 SHs (Table 18). The projects involved research, crop improvement, seed distribution, improving processing, market development and public awareness of local and underutilized species for food and other uses. The sustainable use and marketing of under-utilized species is supported by Republic Act 8435 (Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act). Table 18.

Priorities, needs and constraints to implementation

The Philippines is endowed with rich flora which has nutritional and medicinal values and can be tapped for additional sources of food and other uses. The following are the needs and priorities to promote development and commercialization of under-utilized crops and species: There should be a provision for research and development on value addition and

diversification for indigenous under-utilized PGRFA. Food and medicinal compositions of indigenous plants should be analyzed. Financial support is needed to undertake research on product development of

underutilized crop species. Priority Area 13 Supporting Seed Production and Distribution Republic Act 7308 known as the Seed Industry Act is in place to develop and expand the local seed systems for cereal, legumes, rootcrops, certain vegetables, fruits, industrial crops and ornamentals which are important to small-scale farmers. This law has created the National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) which is responsible for the variety registration in the Philippines. Listing of registered varieties for 1994 to 2005 per crop is enumerated in Annex 2 and their individual descriptions could be found in NSIC Catalogues. This catalogue gives information on the taxon name, target agro-ecology, characteristics regarding reactions to pests and diseases, grain quality and name of breeder. Seed quality standards like physical purity, germinability and others are applied in cereals, legumes and vegetables based on International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) rules and on nationally defined rules. The government prescribes and supports the production and distribution of planting materials of the varieties registered by NSIC. However, there is no government incentive for quality seed production of local varieties and/or under-utilized crops. Certain NGOs and POs give incentives in terms of price for local varieties that are organically grown.

105

A total of 14 SHs conducted 27 projects involving citrus, mango, corn, rice, garlic, tobacco, coconut, napier grass, banana, sweet sorghum, pigeon pea and other priority vegetables. The projects were focused on seed production, distribution, processing, storage, quality control, participatory community-based activities and linkages between formal and informal seed sectors. Table 19 shows that tropical fruits and tobacco recorded the most number (11) of major constraints in making seeds of new varieties available in the market, followed by white corn, root crops, garlic and rice (each having recorded 10 major constarints). The least number was recorded by sugarcane. Table 19 Major constraints in the country in making seed of new varieties of

* High cost of producing coconut hybrids It is estimated that modern varieties of rice are grown in approximately 90-95% of the total area planted to rice. Priorities, needs and constraints to implementation

Sustainable sources of high quality planting materials to replant more than one million hectares of senile and unproductive coconut palms is one priority that PCA-ZRC listed.

106

There is a need to broaden the concept of seed supply system and to further enhance the integration of the informal seed production system into the formal seed system and vice versa. The present seed certification system is limited only to NSIC-registered varieties, and does accommodate farmers’ and traditional varieties. Financial support and education campaign to the farmers on the benefits and advantages of using certified/good seeds are also needed. Priority Area 14 Developing New Markets for Local Varieties and 'Diversity-

Rich' Products

One of the objectives of AFMA is to support the development of new markets for diversity rich' products. However, current attempts to develop new products for underutilized crops had meager financial support and opening up of new markets depends on initiatives of research institutions and local government units. Efforts had been made by SHs towards developing value-added processing of 'diversity-rich' products for commercial purposes. These efforts include the following: 1) evaluation of processed products of different varieties of mango, 2) improvement and development of new products in abaca, 3) establishment of new markets for virgin coconut oil, coconut fiber & coir dust are, development of coconut novelty products and coconut sugar for value-adding opportunities, 4) production of recipes of different varieties/ indigenous vegetables for promotion and adoption of the products especially nutritive value added to the products, 5) exhibit and promotion of rice-based delicacies in agricultural fairs and rice festivals (including distribution to interested farmers of a cookbook containing rice-based product recipes), 6) other uses of tobacco and 7) processed products of sweetpotato, yam, taro and cassava. Table 20 presents the SHs’ assessment of their efforts to develop new markets for diversity-rich products.

Strengthening cooperation with producers, organic farming, establishment of biogardens in primary schools, street fairs, trainings and technology demonstrations and participation in agro-industrial fairs are some of the strategies that had been that had been implemented to promote markets for local varieties and 'diversity-rich' products. The current market situation of some crops as reported by 13 SHs are also revealed in the same table. The table shows that no attempts are currently being undertaken to develop new markets for durian, vegetable legumes, indigenous vegetables, sweet potato, yam and garlic. The reason behind it can be that the markets for these crops are already well-established (as in the case of legume vegetables) or there is already a market but limited (like that of garlic). For rice, corn, mango, banana, abaca, coconut, ipomea and manihot, existing markets are well-established, have been expanded and some new markets are being developed.

Different efforts have been made by the SHs towards developing value-added

processing of 'diversity-rich' products for commercial purposes. BPI-NMRDC has conducted evaluation trials on processing of different varieties of mangoes, NARC has implemented researches on the improvement and development of new products, NTA has conducted researches on other uses of tobacco particularly pulp production, hand made paper, tobacco dust for insecticide and molluscicide. PCA-ZRC has created new markets for virgin coconut oil, coconut fiber & coir dust, and are looking at value-adding opportunities for coconut novelty products and coconut sugar. SEARICE has showcased processed food during food fairs and rice festivals.

The following incentives have been implemented to promote markets for local

varieties and 'diversity-rich' products: strengthening cooperation of producers, organic farming, incorporation in school curricula, street fairs, trainings and technology demonstrations and agro-industrial fairs.

108

The following critical constraints to increasing markets for local varieties and 'diversity-rich' products in the country were identified: Uniformity standards in the country discourage 'diversity rich' products Lack of financial support Lack of trained personnel Insufficient seed or planting material Lack of consumer demand Legal restrictions Emphasis on modern cultivars of staple crops Development/establishment of markets for local varieties is not a national priority Disincentives in the country Industrial processing limitations Uniformity standards in the country discourage 'diversity rich' products

Priorities, needs and constraints to implementation

The government support to new emerging markets for value-added products from diversity rich local varieties should be given priority. Current focus on the development of improved crop varieties and their adoption displace the local varieties. Therefore, there is a need to develop new markets, both domestic and export markets, for products developed from local varieties. The government should provide support to marketing of organically-grown local varieties. D. Institutions and Capacity Building Priority Area 15 Building Strong National Programmes The National Committee on Plant Genetic Resources (NCPGR), created in 1983 sets the directions and policies on plant genetic resources conservation and management in the country. The participating agencies include plant breeders; Non-government organizations; universities; and government agencies involve in conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources. In 2001, on the other hand, the PNNPGRFA was established to operationalize a system of sustainable conservation and use of PGRFA. Plant breeders, SCUs; national genebanks and the Department of Agriculture are the participating agencies in this network.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has entered into an agreement to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity. This convention will give the most benefit to the following GPA areas: Surveying and inventorying PGRFA Promoting in situ conservation of wild crop relatives Sustaining existing ex situ collections Promoting sustainable agriculture

109

Promoting development and commercialization of under-utilized crops and species

Building strong national programmes Promoting networks for PGRFA Expanding and improving education and training Promoting public awareness of the value of PGRFA conservation and use

Short-term trainings on the conservation and use of PGRFA were provided by

the network and NGOs. This contributed to the increasing number of technical staff in institutions involved in the conservation and use of PGRFA. Comments on opportunities, challenges, needs, constraints and national priorities to establish and strengthen institutions and enhance national capacity to conserve and promote sustainable use of PGRFA

There is a need for a sustained operation of the national programme on PGRFA. The revival of the national committee for PGRFA may enhance the national effort to conserve PGRFA. Training on PGR and a regular newsletter or journal is needed and recommended to establish and strengthen institutions and enhance national capacity to conserve and promote sustainable use of PGRFA.

The convergence of government and private sectors, with the government

providing the catalytic environment is also recommended. Priority Area 16 Promoting Networks for Plant Genetic Resources for Food

and Agriculture

The Regional Cooperation in Southeast Asia for Plant Genetic Resources (RECSEA-PGR) and the International Coconut Genetic Resources Network (COGENT), INIBAP (International Network for Improvement of Banana And Plantain), ANSWER (Asian Network on Sweet Potato Genetic Resources), AVNET (Asian Vegetable Network), BAPNET (Banana Asia and Pacific Network), INGER (International Network for Genetic Evaluation of Rice), APAN (Asia-Pacific Agro-Forestry Network), APCC (Asia-Pacific Coconut Commission), UTFANET (Under-Utilized Tropical Fruits Network), APINMAP (Asia-Pacific International Network on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants), TANSAO (Taro Network for Southeast Asia and Oceania) are networks wherein the Philippines is a member, whose main activities are to foster regional cooperation for plant genetic resources conservation and sustainable use in the region, and promote technology transfer to upgrade the capability of the national PGR programme. Through these PGRFA networks, the country has gained the following benefits: Transfer of technology

Provincial programme on PGR CDU

The government provided technical expertise in joint activities; organized and hosted network meetings, and gave information and management support to the network. It also provided funds for travel costs to attend meetings and publishing costs. However, lack of financial resources often posed a major constraint to the effective participation of the country in regional and/or international PGRFA networks. Also, national policies limited the ability of the country to share germplasm and there were no policies yet established on benefit-sharing among potential partners. Comments on promoting networks for PGRFA

The activities of the networks on PGRFA should be sustained by allocating appropriate funds to support programs of the network. Concerned NGOs have also established local and regional networks that work on PGRFA. Priority Area 17 Constructing Comprehensive Information Systems for

Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture In the Philippines, there is no standardized data management and information system installed. Some SHs conducts projects/activities that develop data and

112

information management systems for PGRFA (Table 22).

No staff dedicated to manage the information system. Lack of trained personnel No computers dedicated for data base Lack of financial support Data base establishment on PGR not given priority Information system should be available where farmers can access and use

Priority Area 18 Developing Monitoring and Early Warning Systems for

Loss of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture The Philippines recognizes the threat of genetic erosion and genetic vulnerability in the county and the need to assess them. However, a mechanism to assess genetic erosion is in place only for ex situ and this is the genebank

113

monitoring. Ne1vertheless, the problem of lack of financial resources hinders the successful implementation of this activity.

In a continuing study, the status of a natural population of Oryza minuta in Pangil, Laguna is being monitored to assess the rate and degree of genetic erosion. In the case of sympatric populations of O. minuta and O. officinalis in Leyte, three monitoring visits were conducted. In sweetpotato, an assessment of erosion of genetic diversity in Central Luzon was conducted. A continuing assessment of the diversity and extent of genetic erosion was done on wild type coconut in Samar, Homonhon, and Siargao islands. Comment on developing and using early warning systems, their constraints and opportunities, and the extent of external support needed to develop and use appropriate early warning systems to monitoring genetic erosion of PGRFA and genetic vulnerability caused by this erosion in the country

There is a need to establish an operational early warning system to monitor genetic erosion of PGRFA. This should be incorporated as a regular activity of the national programme. The lack of funding is the primary constraint. Monitoring and development of an early warning system on the possible occurrence of genetic erosion should be developed for wild species of Oryza, Abelmoschus, Vigna, Mangifera, Musa, Canarium, medicinal plants and wild type coconut; and for the existing diversity in traditional varieties of rice, maize, vegetables, food legumes, fruits, coffee and cacao. Priority Area 19.

*Short-term trainings

There is no national strategy for education and training for PGRFA in the country. University-level education is offered to interested students. Sufficient training and education opportunities exist in the country, but it is dependent on available financial resources. There were several short course training opportunities on priority topics related to PGRFA conservation and use. Comments on establishing, improving and expanding training facilities on conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA, and on the extent of external assistance needed to implement training and educational programmes in the country

Stakeholders believe that there must be a stable, established and improved training facilities for conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA, especially for in vitro conservation and molecular characterization

Scholarships for appropriate staff of the national programme to undertake

degree courses on the conservation and management of biodiversity (PGRFA) should be provided.

Trainings/training courses on any of the GPA areas which are very useful to

the conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA should be available and provided. There should be regular funding support from local and international

agencies/organizations for research training institutions/facilities since no capital outlay support are being programmed by the government due to financial constraints. Priority Area 20 Promoting Public Awareness of the Value of Plant Genetic

Resources for Food and Agriculture Conservation and Use The awareness of the value of PGRFA is limited in the country. There is no formal programme in place in the country to promote public awareness of the value of PGRFA. The constraints to develop materials to increase public awareness are insufficient number of staff, lack of skills and knowledge on PGRFA, insufficient financial support and the activity is not a priority of the institution.

119

Although some constraints were identified, some of the SHs have developed materials using different types of media to create public awareness on the value of PGRFA (Table 25). Table 25 List of products developed, media used, audience targeted and topics

SEARICE and the Magsasaka at Siyentipiko Para sa Ikauunlad ng Agham Pangagrikultura are two NGOs involved in public awareness activities in the country. Comments on challenges, opportunities and constraints, and support received and additional support needed from regional and international organizations for increasing public awareness of the value of PGRFA.

CMU believes that additional support from the regional, national and international organizations to increase public awareness of the value of PGRFA in corn is needed. On the other hand, IPB-NPGRL stated that there is low priority given to activities on public awareness of the value of PGRFA. PCA-ZRC, NARC and PhilRice think that sustained funding support will cause increase public awareness of the value of PGRFA. Training on information system is a necessity that SEARICE considers. CHAPTER 5 ACHIEVEMENTS, CONSTRAINTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR

IMPROVING THE NATIONAL INFORMATION SHARING MECHANISM

Constraints 1. Some of the SHs reported that their existing computers are outdated and

cannot be upgraded. The software for the implementation of NISM requires hardware that some SHs did not have.

2. Most of the data on PGR from the SHs are not in electronic form, and had to be encoded before entry into the needed tables.

3. Lack of manpower and skill to encode the data.

a. There was insufficient communication between the SHs, the NFP and the coordinators on the problems encountered during the data gathering and recording process.

b. All the designated SH representatives have their normal workload and were therefore involved in the development of the NISM on a part time basis.

c. The support provided to the SHs was limited to technical support. 5. The importance of the project’s impact is not well understood by some of the

agency heads. 6. Lack of timely follow-up technical supports given to the SHs by the NFP. 7. Changes in leadership of the project affected the activity. 8. Many SHs did not provide data. As a result, the picture on the state of

PGRFA in the country is still incomplete. 9. The designated representatives of the SHs did not receive on time their

Special Orders which would have officially formalized their involvement in the development of the NISM.

121

Achievements 1. Existing PGR collection, characterization, evaluation, conservation and

utilization data from 22 SHs are now in electronic form in the NISM. These data can be used to make an assessment of the the current status of PGRFA in order to fill information gaps and to identify needs and priorities for the conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA.

2. Close collaboration among SHs was achieved. 3. Based on the information available in the NISM-GPA, a report on the current

status of PGR activities in the country was prepared and the needs and priorities for the future identified.

4. Information available in the NISM-GPA was shared among SHs and is accessible to others.

5. Inspite of changes in leadership, the coordination of activities was sustained leading to the establishment of the NISM in the Philippines.

6. A network of PGR curators and SHs who share the same responsibilities and commitment was established. In addition, cordial professional relationship was also established among SHs which may prove useful in the sustained operation of the NISM.

Feedback on the operationalization and Suggestions for Improving the maintenance of NISM-GPA in the country 1. There should be thorough familiarization of the SH representatives on the use

and operation of the NISM-GPA software. 2. There should be commitment from the participating institutions, specifically

the focal institution, to allocate funding and human resources for this activity. This will insure that the activity is sustained beyond the project life.

3. The National Focal Institution for the NISM, together with the designated representatives of the SHs, should provide feedback on the accomplishments and future plans of the NISM to the leadership of the SH institutions to obtain their continued support for the activity.

4. Each PGR office should be equipped with a computer that could run the software and handle a large volume of data.

5. The NFP should provide a strong leadership to the work and should designate good technical staff to maintain and regularly update the NISM-GPA database.

6. The Steering Committee that was established to guide, advise and oversee the activities for the establishment of NISM-GPA should play a sustained role in assisting the work.

7. DA-BPI should institutionalize the NISM and provide appropriate administrative and financial support.

122

Feedbacks and Suggestions to FAO

The FAO should attempt to secure sustained funding and technical support/assistance for the smooth and continuous operation of NISMs. On NISM establishment a. NISM-GPA software

A longer training period for the SHs and the data administrator is recommended on the use and operation of the NISM-GPA software.

The data to be collected must be recorded in accordance to a standardized form for ease of data input and management.

The software should have a search menu to view the contents. This will facilitate data access and retrieval.

Several sessions with the use of guide and actual data are needed to really navigate around the program with ease. This will also facilitate the exact input of the necessary information in every common table. A thorough understanding of how the common tables must be filled is important to actually see the fitness of linking the common tables and the tables within each priority area.

b. Guide Towards the National Information Sharing Mechanism on the Implementation of the GPA and its establishment

The Guide is well written and a good reference during the navigation and input of data using the NISM-GPA program.

c. GPA Implementation in Asia – a compilation of frequently asked questions

using the computer application for the establishment of NISM-GPA

Suggested FAQs:

1. Can any country input their data in the GPA-NISM? 2. If I am just a browser, can I access information? eg. Crops and their

scientific names and their relatives, the countries holding them, etc. 3. Is it possible to put search results from different sections or priority areas

in one table? 4. Can search results be filtered? 5. Is it possible to print the results of the search? 6. Is ti possible to cite GPA-NISM as reference? What is the correct citation?

123

7. If am a stakeholder and I am to update/correct the submitted information, should I submit the data to the national focal person or can I directly append/modify data and inform the NFP?

8. Are e-mail addresses clickable if the software is accessed through the internet?

9. Is data migration possible? (eg. from GPA-NISM to MS Excel) d. Indicators and Reporting Format for Monitoring the Implementation of GPA

(CGRFA – 10/04/Inf.5)

A glossary of PGR terminologies used in the indicators should be provided to facilitate data entry and reporting.

Support provided by the project and FAO technical staff and collaborators

The FAO technical staff in Bangkok and IPGRI-APO (Bioversity) provided

excellent technical and logistical support to the project in the Philippines. CHAPTER 6 NEXT STEP AND FUTURE PLANS including plans of

distributing the report and communicating its results Plans and assistance of BPI for the maintenance and dissemination of GPA-NISM 1. Networking

Continue communication with stakeholders who were part of the project but were not able to provide information to the NISM, and encourage them to participate. This will ensure that a more comprehensive information on the PGR efforts in the country is achieved.

BPI will facilitate the issuance of Special Orders signed by the Secretary

of Agriculture that will officially formalize the participation of the designated representatives of the SHs. The BPI will also work for the signing of Memoranda of Understanding between DA-BPI and the participating agencies/universities involved in the project for the sustained sharing of information and implementation of NISM-GPA.

2. As focal agency of the project, BPI will maintain the database and webpage of the NISM-GPA. It will provide two (2) technical staff to be taken from technical divisions to assist in the maintenance and updating of the database and one (1) information technology support staff to update and maintain the webpage content of the project.

3. BPI will support training of stakeholders by providing food and

accommodation. BPI would like to encourage cost-sharing with the SHs

124

through provision of travel and incidental expenses incurred during the training of the participants.

4. Present policy allocates at least 5% of an agency’s total budget to the Gender

and Development (GAD) program. Using this as the basis, BPI will try to appropriate funds from its regular budget (MOOE) to support the implementation of NISM-GPA. BPI will develop a Work and Financial Plan as basis for budget allocation.

5. The membership of the Steering Committee that was created earlier by BPI to

act as advisory body for this project would be reviewed and will be tasked to perform the same function to meet the goals of the project.
