It is linguistic survey of the municipality of Milagros in the province of Masbate. This paper is another attempt to study the language. This shows that as a language, Masbatenyo is not a well-researched area in the field of linguistic and there really is a need for further discussion of the said language and the area where it is spoken as first language. Aside from several instructional and religious materials, there is no other published work on the language. There are but a very few researches and studies that have been done on Masbatenyo language. However, other essential data that concerns the province are not given enough attention. These basic geographical data are well-known. It is also known as the Rodeo Capital of the Philippines. Masbate is just a small province consists of three island namely Masbate, Ticao and Burias. Finally, it considers the implications of the weir’ s dating for our understanding of saltmarsh morphodynamics in this south-western part of Southampton Water, and considers in turn the implications of these dynamics for the material survival of the site.

The paper discusses the function and operation of the weir, and places it in its social and historical context.

The weir also shows striking structural similarities with examples in use today in Basse Normandy, on the southern shore of the English Channel. The weir is contemporary with wooden v-shaped fishweirs found elsewhere in southern and central Britain, and also Ireland, but its circular catchment ‘ pound’ remains unique, in these islands, to the Solent region: it has a close parallel with another Saxon-era weir on the nearby Isle of Wight. Clusters of as-yet undated roundwood posts within the catchment area of the weir are interpreted as the frames for fish traps that are assumed to pre- or post-date the operational period of the weir itself. Radiocarbon dating of oak roundwood stakes taken from the main weir structure date it to the middle Saxon period. The remains of a timber v-shaped fishweir and associated structures have been discovered near Ashlett Creek on the tidal mudflats of Southampton Water in Hampshire, southern Britain. Of importance was a need to highlight the value of pursuing this type of research for contemporary communities and maritime archaeological practitioners in the current international management framework for underwater cultural heritage. The paper draws on comparative data from other places of the world to investigate weirs and traps, and to see if a similar revival could be observed. A recent survey in Yap, Federated States of Micronesia found a diverse and extensive number of fish weirs and traps, and a community keen to restore and reinvigorate their associated cultural practices and community spirit. It was considered that they have fulfilled their historical and economic role and it was the loss of community spirit that has contributed to their decline. In many places the weirs and traps have been left to deteriorate and other more productive but less sustainable practices have taken their place. Stone wall fish weirs and traps were once an important means for inland and coastal communities to catch fish.
