The social memory imprinted by the sheer impact of disaster events on life, property, and livelihood has enabled the high-risk communities to learn from these calamities. In turn, the integration of such learning into a community’s way of coping gives rise to what is known as local knowledge. The research examines how the recovery of social memory and local knowledge on disasters can improve local-level disaster risk reduction and management policy, specifically in the context of the Angat watershed and river basin region. The research draws from fieldwork interviews with the riverfront dwellers of communities in the municipalities of Calumpit and Hagonoy in Bulacan. It is argued in this study that the integration of social memory and local knowledge has improved the local level disaster risk reduction and management plan, particularly in three ways: First, the recovery of local knowledge and social memory brought to the fore the inherent capacities of the communities at the heart of local-level public policy. Second, the recovery of local knowledge and social memory and its integration to disaster risk reduction and management policy gave the community a sense of ownership of the policy giving it more clout. Finally, the recovery of local knowledge and social memory made the policy context-specific, which better suited the needs, situation, vulnerability, and strengths of the community. ix ACRONYMS ADB Asian Development Bank ADPC Asian Disaster Preparedness Center BDRRMP Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan BFP Bureau of Fire Protection BSU Bulacan State University CBDRRM Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management CC Climate Change CCA Climate Change Adaptation CDCC City Disaster Coordinating Council CDP Center for Disaster Preparedness CDRC Citizens Disaster Response Center COP Conference of Parties CRA Community Risk Assessment CRED Center for Research for the Epidemiology of Disasters DENR Department of Environment and Natural Resources DepEd Department of Education DLSU De La Salle University DOST Department of Science and Technology DRR Disaster Risk Reduction DRRM Disaster Risk Reduction and Management DRRM CEP Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Capacity Enhancement Program DRRNet Phils.

It divides into small branches that empty to several fishponds especially in the town of Candaba. This study aimed to initially identify the physico- chemical characteristics of the river using some parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates. Dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature were measured using DO meter, pH meter, and thermometer. Chemical tests were done on site using test kits from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (API). It was found that ammonia and phosphate concentrations exceeded the maximum value required by the DAO 34 -Water Quality Standard for Class C Water. The DO concentration was below the minimum requirements for river water. Key Words: Candaba; Pampanga; River Water; Community 1. INTRODUCTION the barangay is directly connected to one side of the river and houses are built along the river bank.

  • Flood Risk Assessment Under the Climate Change in the Case of Pampanga River Basin, Philippines
    FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT UNDER THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE CASE OF PAMPANGA RIVER BASIN, PHILIPPINES Santy B. Ferrer* Supervisor: Mamoru M. Miyamoto** MEE133631 Advisors: Maksym Gusyev*** Miho Ohara**** ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to assess the flood risk in the Pampanga river basin that consists of the flood hazard, exposure, and risk in terms of potential flood fatalities and economic losses under the climate change. The Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model was calibrated using 2011 flood and validated with the 2009, 2012 and 2013 floods. The calibrated RRI model was applied to produce flood inundation maps based on 10-, 25, 50-, and 100-year return period of 24-hr rainfall. The rainfall data is the output of the downscaled and bias corrected MRI -AGCM3.2s for the current climate conditions (CCC) and two cases of future climate conditions with an outlier in the dataset (FCC-case1) and without an outlier (FCC-case2). For this study, the exposure assessment focuses on the affected population and the irrigated area. Based on the results, there is an increasing trend of flood hazard in the future climate conditions, therefore, the greater exposure of the people and the irrigated area keeping the population and irrigated area constant. The results of this study may be used as a basis for the climate change studies and an implementation of the flood risk management in the basin. Keywords: Risk assessment, Pampanga river basin, Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation model, climate change, MRI-AGCM3.2S 1. INTRODUCTION The Pampanga river basin is the fourth largest basin in the Philippines located in the Central Luzon Region with an approximate area of 10,545 km² located in the Central Luzon Region.

  • Binanog Dance
    Gluck Classroom Fellow: Jemuel Jr. Barrera-Garcia Ph.D. Student in Critical Dance Studies: Designated Emphasis in Southeast Asian Studies Flying Without Wings: The Philippines’ Binanog Dance Binanog is an indigenous dance from the Philippines that features the movement of an eagle/hawk to the symbolic beating of bamboo and gong that synchronizes the pulsating movements of the feet and the hands of the lead and follow dancers. This specific type of Binanog dance comes from the Panay-Bukidnon indigenous community in Panay Island, Western Visayas, Philippines. The Panay Bukidnon, also known as Suludnon, Tumandok or Panayanon Sulud is usually the identified indigenous group associated with the region and whose territory cover the mountains connecting the provinces of Iloilo, Capiz and Aklan in the island of Panay, one of the main Visayan islands of the Philippines. Aside from the Aetas living in Aklan and Capiz, this indigenous group is known to be the only ethnic Visayan language-speaking community in Western Visayas. SMILE.
