Early Humans Discovered To Exist In The Philippines About 700,000 Years Ago— New Discovery

Early humans roaming east Asia more than half-a-million years ago may be appear to be clever enough to build a vessel and curiously cross an open sea to be able to reach the Philippines.

It may seem evident from the discovery in the Philippines of a rhinoceros skeleton and the stone tools probably used to carve away its meat, according researchers.
Early humans roaming east Asia more than half-a-million years ago may be appear to be clever enough to build a vessel and curiously cross an open sea to be able to reach the Philippines. It may seem evident from the discovery in the Philippines of a rhinoceros skeleton and the stone tools probably used to carve away its meat, according researchers. Ads The discovery pushes back the arrival of the first homo species on the island chain ten-fold to 700,000 years ago,as reported in the journal Nature. Earlier archaeological clues from Luzon island -- tools at one site, prehistoric animals remains at another --suggestive of the presence of primitive human species, indicating Homo-erectus and Homo floresiensis probably populated the Indonesian archipelago during the same period. But to date, the earliest confirmed evidence of hominins -- the scientific term used to group modern and early humans -- in the Philippines came from a, 67,000-year old foot bone unearthed in the Sierra Madre Mountains. "We had the extraordinary luck to find a nearly complete, disarticulated rhinoceros," said Thomas Ingicco, a paleoanthropologist at France's National Museum of Natural History and lead author of the study. Analysis of the bones from the extinct species -- Rhinoceros Philippinensis -- left no doubt "that it showed ridges left by tools," Ingicco added. Some of the cut marks were made while removing flesh, while others came from specialized tools designed to remove bone marrow. Ingicco and his colleagues also uncovered the skeletal remains of other potentially tasty critters, including brown deer, monitor lizards, freshwater turtles and stegodons, extinct mammals combining elephant and mammoth features. Rhino carpaccio "We know that some species of human ate this rhino," said Ingicco. "But we don't know if they killed if first, or found the carcass." All told, the Kalinga site in northern Luzon's Cagayan Valley yielded more than 400 bones and several dozen of ancient tools, including 49 knife-like flakes and two hammers. "This evidence pushes back the proven period of colonialization of the Philippines by hundreds of thousands of years," the authors concluded. Several dating techniques applies to the rhino remains determined its age at between 631,000 and 777,000 years, putting it in a period known as the Pleistocene. With no direct trace of the humans who butchered the animals, researchers could only speculate on who they were and how they got there. It is also possible that the butchers of Kalinga had already evolved into a distinct sub-species, as likely happened to the "hobbit" of Flores, diminutive humans named for the Indonesian island where they were first found. As for how "Kalinga Man" made it across what is today 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) of open ocean between Luzon and mainland Asia, the authors doubt they fashioned a raft or other sea-worthy vessel. "The colonialization could have happened 'accidentally' after a tsunami ripped up the coastline and created a temporary land bridge, a rare but documented phenomenon," said Ingicco.

 Vongthep Arthakaivalvatee, deputy secretary-general for ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community, said on his reaction that "ASEAN's greatest asset is its people and proper financing will enable (them) to reach their potential."

Indonesia is committed to providing UHC and has set a target for achieving UHC by 2019.

"Financing SDGs is everyone's business. All actors - public, private, domestic and international - have a role to play," said assistant secretary-general Haoliang Xu of the UNDP.

Indonesia has over 257 million people making it the most populous country in ASEAN, followed by the Philippines with around 100 million, combined together, they have the half of the 639 million  total population of Southeast Asia.

Almost 90 per cent of people living below the international poverty line are in Indonesia and the Philippines, states a recent report released by Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The report was launched on November 17 in Jakarta, Indonesia by ASEAN in cooperation with United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and China, and is titled "ASEAN-China-UNDP Report on Financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in ASEAN: Strengthening Integrated National Financing Frameworks to Deliver the 2030 Agenda." According to the ASEAN report quoted in The Philippine Star, extreme poverty has fallen across the region from 17% in 2005 to 7% in 2013, many of the working poor remain vulnerable to falling back in to poverty. It is important for ASEAN as a region, and Member States to identify how to finance poverty eradication programs in order to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ASEAN Vision 2025. Sponsored Links In his remarks during the report launch, Vongthep Arthakaivalvatee, deputy secretary-general for ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community, said "ASEAN's greatest asset is its people and proper financing will enable (them) to reach their potential." While ASEAN has made progress in addressing infectious diseases, challenges still prevail and ASEAN is now facing rising rates of non-communicable diseases. Providing universal health coverage (UHC) is important to improve the lives of the people in ASEAN. The report states Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia and Thailand provide UHC through a tax-funded system while Singapore provides UHC through a contribution-based system that includes a social assistance component. Indonesia is committed to providing UHC and has set a target for achieving UHC by 2019. "The design and configuration of the financing model used affects how successfully the policy reaches the poorest people, expands the range of services on offer and reduces the costs they face," the report is quoted stating. "Financing SDGs is everyone's business. All actors - public, private, domestic and international - have a role to play," said assistant secretary-general Haoliang Xu of the UNDP. Indonesia is the most populous country in ASEAN with over 257 million people, followed by the Philippines with 100 million, comprising more than half of the 639 million population of the region.

Philippines is NOT Listed in the Top 5 Most Corrupt Countries in Asia


The result of a year-and-a-half long survey conducted by Transparency International with over 20,000 participants from different countries in the Asia Pacific region revealed the top five most corrupt countries in Asia and the Philippines is nowhere in the list. The survey was conducted based on bribery rates happening in 16 countries in Asia. The survey result shows that corruption and bribery is alarmingly prevalent and deeply rooted in these countries. The largest percentage of the age bracket being hit by bribery are younger people below 35 years old at 34 per cent. They are the most vulnerable to paying bribe just to access government services. Followed by over 35 to 54 years old at 29 per cent and those who are 55 above comprises 19 percent of those who pay bribe for public services. Another alarming fact is that ins some countries, poor people are more likely to pay bribes compared to the rich people. However, in some countries, the trend seems to reverse. Rich people are most likely to pay bribes maybe because they have the resources to give it when asked. Let's take a look on the List of the Top 5 Most Corrupt Countries in Asia 2017 : Myanmar sits at #5 with bribery rate of 40 percent. Pakistan follows with the same bribery rate. With 41 percent , Thailand is at #3. Vietnam follows with a high 65 percent bribery rate. Leading the list is India with bribery rate of 69 percent. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's move in fighting corruption is a wise one, otherwise, India's reputation of being corrupt will mark his administration if he cannot do anything about it or at least prevent the country from leading the most corrupt list.
