SUBJECT:  AMBASSADOR EMPHASIZES ENVIRONMENTAL AND CULTURAL 
PRESERVATION IN NORTHERN PHILIPPINES 
 
1.  Summary:  The Ambassador visited three provinces in Northern 
Luzon December 5 to 7 and spoke to enthusiastic crowds principally 
on the theme of preservation.  She presented the Embassy's 
International Woman of Courage award to Isabela Provincial Governor 
Grace Padaca, delivered an address to 65 international experts at a 
conference sponsored by the Ambassador's Fund for Cultural 
Preservation, and distributed seedlings to farmers at a USDA-funded 
site.  The Ambassador also remembered slain Peace Corps volunteer 
Julia Campbell at the site of a forested memorial park.  End 
Summary. 
THE PROVINCES OF CAGAYAN, ISABELA AND IFUGAO 
2.  Cagayan province, in the northeastern tip of the Philippines, 
and Isabela province directly to the south, are the rice and corn 
granary of Luzon island. Other agricultural products such as 
peanuts, fruits, and livestock (mainly cattle, carabao, and poultry) 
drive the regions' economies.  Logging bans have caused the wood 
industry to decline considerably.  However, furniture using narra 
wood and other indigenous forest materials continues to be made. 
 
3.  Ifugao, a landlocked province in the mountainous region of 
Luzon, is home to the Banaue Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage 
Site often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World."  The rice 
variety most suited to the area's cool climate takes a long time to 
mature and limits the terraces' yield.  As a result, some Ifugao 
families abandon their land in pursuit of alternative livelihoods. 
IFUGAO AND THE BANAUE RICE TERRACES 
4.  The Ambassador addressed approximately 65 international 
delegates attending a Banaue training conference arranged by the 
International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS).  The 
Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation partially funded this 
conference focused on preserving the Rice Terraces.  A film team 
preparing a documentary about the conference for Philippine national 
television interviewed the Ambassador. 
 
5.  The Ambassador visited two Peace Corps projects December 6 near 
to where Peace Corps volunteer Julia Campbell was murdered in April 
2007.  The Ambassador recognized this loss by visiting Asipulo, 
where 40 hectares have been donated for the Julia Campbell 
Agroforest Memorial Park.  Mayors of surrounding towns expressed 
their hope that this tragedy would not deter the presence of 
volunteers in the future, a sentiment which the Ambassador 
supported.  Asipulo's mayor thanked the Ambassador for visiting 
difficult-to-reach portions of the northern Philippines, which 
helped counter the perception among some that the Muslim south 
commands more U.S. attention than other regions, he said. 
WOMAN OF COURAGE AWARD TO ISABELA GOVERNOR PADACA 
6.  In the Isabela provincial capital of Ilagan, the Ambassador 
presented Governor Grace Padaca on December 5 with an International 
Woman of Courage award for overcoming physical challenges while 
promoting government transparency.  Padaca, who had traveled to the 
U.S. on a U.S.-sponsored Aquino Fellowship, said her stay made a 
significant impact on her approach to democracy and transparency. 
Padaca subsequently won two contentious elections and says that as 
governor she is using a spirit of openness to unite people.  The 
Ambassador's visit coincided with a monthly "People's Day" when any 
resident can request an audience with local officials.  Further 
underscoring the theme of open access to government, the Ambassador 
witnessed the opening of a newly constructed handicapped access ramp 
at the capitol building. 
USDA-FUNDED SITE IN CAGAYAN 
7.  Near Tuguegarao City the Ambassador visited a cacao nursery 
funded by the USDA Food for Progress program and witnessed ongoing 
training in propagation and grafting techniques.  The program will 
enable 20,000 farmers to benefit from better cocoa-farming 
practices. 
MEDIA COVERAGE 
8.  Local and national newspapers and radio and television networks 
covered the Ambassador's visit.  Coverage of the conference to 
preserve the rice terraces and the ceremony honoring Governor Padaca 
were positive.  One national newspaper article focused on the 
Ambassador's comments about how the Peace Corps is working hard to 
move forward with good projects that will honor the memory of slain 
Peace Corps Volunteer Julia Campbell.  The Ambassador's visit to the 
USDA-funded cacao cultivation project attracted coverage from 
Tuguegarao-region cable TV stations and radios. 
 
9.  The Ambassador fielded questions from the press about the Julia 
Campbell murder, aid to the region following a recent typhoon, and 
the status of Lance Corporal Daniel Smith, who is being held in the 
U.S. Embassy compound under terms of the Visiting Forces Agreement.
