others the Recommended Activities for consideration aimed at disseminating what they learned, observed during the Summer Youth Camp. OBJECTIVE Project TREASURE is aimed at preparing the stakeholders in all sectors of tourism for the full implementation of the 2015 ASEAN Economic Integration MRAs-Mutual Recognition Arrangements in Tourism Standards and Tourism Professionals thru the institutionalization culture of tourism and security risk mitigation management in local communities, particularly Local Government Units, Academe and Tourism service related enterprises with the end in view of transforming the UNPRODUCTIVE RESOURCES into POTENTLY PERFORMING and INCOME-GENERATING ASSETS, to be at par with the ASEAN standards and equal playing field with other ASEAN member States/Countries thru the DEVELOPMENT of a TRULY autonomous Eco-Organic Agri SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY TOURISM ACTIVITY where EVERY INHABITANT shall PLAY the IMPORTANT ROLE in the MANAGEMENT and OPERATION of the DULY ORGANIZED SERVICE SYSTEMS offered to TOURISTS and VISITORS in the IDENTIFIED DESTINATION with EACH GETTING the FAIR SHARE of the BOUNTY for his LABOR. OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT TOURISM SITUATION Based on the latest report of The UNWTO-United Nations World Tourism Organizations and the ASEAN- Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the tourism sector is unquestionably the world’s biggest employer of workers while bringing the unequalled amount of cash inflow infused to the local economy of countries with tourist attractions in a well-managed destination and the tourism service systems are duly organized and ready to serve the visitors and tourists. In the Philippines tourism is only felt in very few areas that were once upon a time isolated from the mainstream of development in urban areas provincial centers. These are the communities situated in island provinces lately discovered and eventually developed into the country’s major tourist destinations. The phenomenal rise to prominence of these destinations transformed the lives of the locales from antiquity to modernity amidst economic prosperity. This is so, because the recorded average per capita income of local inhabitants is currently almost on the level of a middle-class income in Philippine standard from the level that is way below the poverty line before tourism was developed. These are the likes of Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan, El Nido in Palawan, and Panglao in Bohol. However, it is worthy of note that tourism development in these areas are mainly based on beach and sea resources and none have ever considered the development of modern eco-agri tourism as a potent tool for sustainable rural/community-based tourism. The Philippines is a country where unspoiled, bare and unproductive soils and marine as well as human resources abound in almost all the nooks and corners of her island provinces. Ironically, the natural attractions and topographic features of these already developed and tourist- frequented destinations are not too far extra-ordinary than those found in other island provinces situated within the periphery that is few hours away from these currently developed destinations. Incidentally, the inhabitants in these communities are still languishing in abject poverty brought about by retrogressing economy as they are still fully dependent on the very much antiquated traditional livelihood activities rendered to obsolescence by the ever-changing times in recent modernizations. To arrest the recurring problem and afford a ray of hope to the poorest of the poor in these communities to live a life worthy of human dignity this project is hereby offered as a modest contribution to the sustainable development of tourism to secure the supply chain and continuously support the economic security risk mitigation in the countryside. The EFFECTS of Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) The recent visit of Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) immediately after the 7.2 magnitude 5 Project TREASURE Summary/Executive Brief
earthquake that hit Bohol aggravated the already miserable economic conditions of the poorest of the poor inhabitants in communities badly hit by her wrath that devastated their every precious possession including the lives of their family members. The areas badly hit and hosts to the destructions are the ones considered to be the poorest of the poor in the level of Philippine economic standards. These are the provinces of Bohol, Eastern Samar, Leyte, the Island of Panay, particularly Northern Iloilo, Capiz, Antique and Aklan. The residents in these communities are still lingering in total hopelessness on how to start anew the normal life of their every family that were left without the source of income for their basic needs no house for shelter, no work/economic activity as a source to sustain even their daily subsistence. GAIN in EVERY PAIN The areas badly hit with the fury of the 2012 killer earthquake in Bohol, and super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), another earthquake in Ormoc City and currently the Marawi Siege left among the survivors the unbearable pain in losing not only their most precious properties but likewise the life of their loved ones. These communities landed in the headlines and special feature stories of almost all national and international media as well as in social networks along the information highway. The pains left behind by the fury of these catastrophes, however unknowingly obtained some gains in the form of publicity of the areas very less known to the international communities. The swiftness of response by almost all member countries of the United Nations to deliver to victims the much-needed relief in a record time of not more than 48 hours or few days after the most brutal strike of super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) is considered unprecedented in recent history. This action is a manifestation that the once unheard places in the Philippines gained overnight popularity, and maybe concluded that such popularity shall remain written in diaries of all the people who shared a little of their fortune and service as a humanitarian gesture to save whatever are left in the badly stricken communities. This goes without saying, that once rehabilitated and the survivors are able to return to their normal and improved lives, the possibility is not remote that these areas shall still gain interest as a place to visit and revisited by those who always treasure whatever assistance they extended so for them to personally see how the victims regain what have been lost. However, with or without foreign tourists, Project TREASURE shall continue to thrive in areas where it shall be adopted, simply because the component programs are per se income-generating, thus, self-sustaining. By twist of fate and perhaps timely as we may term it to be, the programs in this concept under Project TREASURE were already being conceptualized few days before the killer earthquake and super typhoon Yolanda and such other natural and man-made calamities hit the country. To jump-start its implementation thru the official launching, it is now offered for sponsorship or adoption by government- owned and private corporations as a continuing CSR-Corporate Social Responsibility- a modest contribution to the long-term rehabilitation and poverty alleviation of the badly hit highly impoverished victims. Sources of Funds Contemplated as sources of funds are the following: Portion of the realized income from the operation of CREATED Center for Eco-organic Agri Tourism Education & Development Training Center and Eco-Agri Farm Resort and Theme Park that is offered for adoption and operation in partnership with SUCs outside urban centers, that in this case NIPSC; Portion of the realized income out of the sales of the book “Compendium Tourism & Hospitality Service Study First Edition, 2012” to serve as reference learning materials for the continuing tourism awareness special seminars and workshops; the publication, distribution and sell of the Second Edition 2014 and Philippine Tourism Laws and Related Statutes by Maximino P.
