  • CHAPTER 1: the Envisioned City of Quezon
    CHAPTER 1: The Envisioned City of Quezon 1.1 THE ENVISIONED CITY OF QUEZON Quezon City was conceived in a vision of a man incomparable - the late President Manuel Luis Quezon – who dreamt of a central place that will house the country’s highest governing body and will provide low-cost and decent housing for the less privileged sector of the society. He envisioned the growth and development of a city where the common man can live with dignity “I dream of a capital city that, politically shall be the seat of the national government; aesthetically the showplace of the nation--- a place that thousands of people will come and visit as the epitome of culture and spirit of the country; socially a dignified concentration of human life, aspirations and endeavors and achievements; and economically as a productive, self-contained community.” --- President Manuel L. Quezon Equally inspired by this noble quest for a new metropolis, the National Assembly moved for the creation of this new city. The first bill was filed by Assemblyman Ramon P. Mitra with the new city proposed to be named as “Balintawak City”. The proposed name was later amended on the motion of Assemblymen Narciso Ramos and Eugenio Perez, both of Pangasinan to “Quezon City”. 1.2 THE CREATION OF QUEZON CITY On September 28, 1939 the National Assembly approved Bill No. 1206 as Commonwealth Act No. 502, otherwise known as the Charter of Quezon City. Signed by President Quezon on October 12, 1939, the law defined the boundaries of the city and gave it an area of 7,000 hectares carved out of the towns of Caloocan, San Juan, Marikina, Pasig, and Mandaluyong, all in Rizal Province.

  • Structural and Intensity Changes of Concentric Eyewall Typhoons in the Western North Pacific Basin
    2632 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 141 Structural and Intensity Changes of Concentric Eyewall Typhoons in the Western North Pacific Basin YI-TING YANG AND HUNG-CHI KUO Department of Atmospheric Sciences, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan ERIC A. HENDRICKS AND MELINDA S. PENG Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey, California (Manuscript received 31 August 2012, in final form 7 February 2013) ABSTRACT An objective method is developed to identify concentric eyewalls (CEs) for typhoons using passive mi- crowave satellite imagery from 1997 to 2011 in the western North Pacific basin. Three CE types are identified: a CE with an eyewall replacement cycle (ERC; 37 cases), a CE with no replacement cycle (NRC; 17 cases), and a CE that is maintained for an extended period (CEM; 16 cases). The inner eyewall (outer eyewall) of the ERC (NRC) type dissipates within 20 h after CE formation. The CEM type has its CE structure maintained for more than 20 h (mean duration time is 31 h). Structural and intensity changes of CE typhoons are dem- onstrated using a T–Vmax diagram (where T is the brightness temperature and Vmax is the best-track es- timated intensity) for a time sequence of the intensity and convective activity (CA) relationship. While the intensity of typhoons in the ERC and CEM cases weakens after CE formation, the CA is maintained or increases. In contrast, the CA weakens in the NRC cases. The NRC (CEM) cases typically have fast (slow) northward translational speeds and encounter large (small) vertical shear and low (high) sea surface tem- 2 peratures. The CEM cases have a relatively high intensity (63 m s 1), and the moat size (61 km) and outer eyewall width (70 km) are approximately 50% larger than the other two categories.
