  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Assessing the Effect of a Dumpsite to Groundwater Quality in Payatas, Philippines
    American Journal of Environmental Sciences 4 (4): 276-280, 2008 ISSN 1553-345X © 2008 Science Publications Assessing the Effect of a Dumpsite to Groundwater Quality in Payatas, Philippines Glenn L. Sia Su Department of Biology, De La Salle University, Taft, Manila, Philippines Abstract: The study assessed and compared the groundwater quality of 14 selected wells continuously used in the with (Payatas) and without dumpsite (Holy Spirit) areas at the Payatas estate, Philippines. Water quality monitoring and analyses of the bio-physico-chemical variables (pH, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), total coliform, conductivity, salinity, nitrate-nitrogen, sulfate, color, total chromium, total lead and total cadmium) were carried out for six consecutive months, from April to September 2003, covering both dry and wet seasons. Results showed most of the groundwater quality variables in both the with and without dumpsite areas of the Payatas estate were within the normal Philippine water quality standards except for the observed high levels of TDS, TSS and total coliform and low pH levels. No significant differences were observed for nitrate- nitrogen, total cadmium, total lead, total chromium and total coliform in both the with and without dumpsite areas. TDS, conductivity, salinity and sulfate concentrations in the with dumpsite groundwater sources were significantly different compared to those in the without dumpsite areas. Continuous water quality monitoring is encouraged to effectively analyze the impact of dumpsites on the environment and human health. Key words: Water quality, environmental assessment INTRODUCTION concerns that the Novaliches Reservoir is now contaminated with toxic substances beyond safe The 15-ha Payatas open dumpsite is within the concentrations.

  • The July 10 2000 Payatas Landfill Slope Failure
    The July 10 2000 Payatas Landfill Slope Failure Navid H. Jafari, Doctoral Candidate, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign, Urbana, IL, 61801, USA; email: [email protected] Timothy D. Stark, Professor, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign, Urbana, IL, 61801, USA; email: [email protected] Scott Merry, Associate Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of the Pacific, Stockton, CA, 95211, USA; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper presents an investigation of the slope failure in the Payatas landfill in Quezon City, Philippines. This failure, which killed at least 330 persons, occurred July 10th 2000 after two weeks of heavy rain from two typhoons. Slope stability analyses indicate that the raised leachate level, existence of landfill gas created by natural aerobic and anaerobic degradation, and a significantly over-steepened slope contributed to the slope failure. The Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model was used to predict the location of the leachate level in the waste at the time of the slope failure for analysis purposes. This paper presents a description of the geological and environmental conditions, identification of the critical failure surface, and slope stability analyses to better understand the failure and present recommendations for other landfills in tropical areas. In addition, this case history is used to evaluate uncertainty in parameters used in back-analysis of a landfill slope failure. KEYWORDS: Landfills, Failure investigations, Slope stability, Shear strength, Gas formation, Leachate, Leachate recirculation, Pore pressures. SITE LOCATION: IJGCH-database.kmz (requires Google Earth) INTRODUCTION At approximately 4:30 am Manila local time (MLT) on July 10th 2000, a slope failure occurred in the Payatas Landfill in Quezon City, Philippines.

  • Stability Problems of Landfills – the Payatas Landslide
    Stability problems of landfills – The Payatas landslide Dr.-Ing. Florian Koelsch Dr. Koelsch Geoevironmental Technology LLC Gliesmaroder Strasse 100, 38106 Braunschweig, Germany [email protected] Abstract: Stability of landfills for MSW has been a problem for years. In July 2000, a slope at the Payatas dumpsite (Philippines) failed. More than 200 people were killed. Supported by the Asian Development Bank a forensic evaluation has been conducted. One major reason for the landslide could be identified: The waste density was too low. The low density allowed a high rate of water percolation instead of getting drained by surface flow. The water reduced the shear strength by mobilizing pore water pressure and triggered finally the failure. The reasons for the low waste density are a combination of lack of development (poverty) and industrial production creating a very light waste („American waste“), which is reluctant to conventional compaction methodes. As a keystone measure a biological pretreatment has been proposed to improve the geotechnical situation at Payatas dumpsite. Keywords: landfill stability, biological treatment, settlements, water balance, dranage system Introduction Stability of landfills is one of the major geotechnical tasks in landfill design and operation. Stability has been a problem for years. Inhomogenious waste composition, difficulties in determining waste strength parameters and a lack of knowledge about the principles of waste mechanics resulted in considerable uncertainties in stability calculations. In the early 90ies the German government has spent a lot of efforts to investigate waste mechanics. Meanwhile, the landfill stability in Germany seems to be a solved problem, even extreme slope geometries were constructed during remediation and mining measures at German landfills.

  • Too Poor to Care?
    TV 004 SVT 004 Tutor: AU Department of Political Science Too Poor To Care? Pro-poor Solid Waste Management in Manila ( Tondo, Manila Karolina Huss ) Karolina Huss TV 004 SVT 004 Tutor: AU Department of Political Science Abstract This study of pro-poor solid waste management (conducted in Manila 2006) look at waste both as a health problem and as a livelihood for the poor. Pro-poor solid waste management policies optimize social- environmental- and economic benefits for the poor. In practice, this means creating job-security for informal waste-pickers (scavengers), establish subsidies to community based recycling schemes and empower local leadership structures. The formalization process in the Philippines have undermined scavengers’ traditional safety nets and “hijacked” informal bonding (micro-level) social capital to the benefit of institutionalised (maso-level) social capital. Along with health and cleanliness aspects, creating “cash from trash” is the foremost incentive for urban poor communities to participate in a Community- based Solid Waste Management (CBSWM) project. The projects can create social capital for the poor through community mobilisation and vertical bridging- and linking networks established in barangay’s (local administration) Multisectoral Waste Management Committees (MSWMC) or recycling cooperatives. Communities need to be given local ownership of the projects through real decision-making capacities. Keywords: Community Development, Poverty, Solid Waste Management, Social Capital, the Philippines Number of characters: 70 600 For correspondence, contact author via e-mail on: [email protected] .
