  • A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines

    A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines

    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Historical Evaluation of The Emergence of Nueva Ecija as the Rice Granary of the Philippines Fernando A. Santiago, Jr., Ph.D. Department of History De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: The recognition of Nueva Ecija’s potential as a seedbed for rice in the latter half of the nineteenth century led to the massive conversion of public land and the establishment of agricultural estates in the province. The emergence of these estates signalled the arrival of wide scale commercial agriculture that revolved around wet- rice cultivation. By the 1920s, Nueva Ecija had become the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” which has been the identity of the province ever since. This study is an assessment of the emergence of Nueva Ecija as the leading rice producer of the country. It also tackles various facets of the rice industry, the profitability of the crop and some issues that arose from rice being a controlled commodity. While circumstances might suggest that the rice producers would have enjoyed tremendous prosperity, it was not the case for the rice trade was in the hands of middlemen and regulated by the government. The government policy which favored the urban consumers over rice producers brought meager profits, which led to disappointment to all classes and ultimately caused social tension in the province. The study therefore also explains the conditions that made Nueva Ecija the hotbed of unrest prior to the Second World War. Historical methodology was applied in the conduct of the study.

  • Appendix a Water Pollution in the Philippines: Case Studies

    Appendix a Water Pollution in the Philippines: Case Studies

    Foreword CLIMATE CHANGE is undoubtedly the biggest challenge the Philippines faces today, and the vulnerability of our water resources to this phenomenon is a reality that can no longer be ignored. But while water scarcity is perhaps one of the most alarming projected effects of climate change on water resources, two recent typhoons in the Philippines— Ketsana and Parma—have driven home the message that over-abundance can be equally devastating. Both typhoons, along with several others in the past few years, have shown how the country is sorely ill-prepared to handle the impacts brought on by a warming world. Indeed, climate change and the ensuing extreme weather events which have brought too little—or too much—water, have caused periods of water crisis that have destroyed thousands of lives and billions of pesos worth of property and agricultural crops. At the same time, water resources in the country are already confronted with many persistent problems: widespread pollution, over-extraction, and the degradation of watersheds. The present situation, set against the backdrop of climate change, is far from promising. While climate change will affect all sectors, it is its effects on freshwater—society’s, and the Earth’s, life support system—which will be most seriously felt. Water insecurity cuts across all other sectors and will negatively affect agriculture, health, and the economy. But the country’s water systems are still far from being climate-proofed, and current climate change adaptation plans lack the necessary emphasis on addressing impacts on water. This report therefore puts forward the case for the improved management of water resources as a key climate change adaptation strategy.

    Pampanga River Basin: Flood of August 2004 (Southwest Monsoon As Enhanced by Typhoon Marce)

    PRB Flood: SW Monsoon due to T.Marce – Aug2004 Pampanga River Basin: Flood of August 2004 (Southwest Monsoon as enhanced by Typhoon Marce) Summary Typhoon Marce (August 20-24, 2004) became the first destructive tropical cyclone to affect the Pampanga River Basin for the year 2004. Widespread rains for more than 3 days spawned by the intensified southwest monsoon as enhanced by Typhoon Marce inundated extensive areas of the western and central sections of Luzon, including Metro Manila. As a result, 64 persons died, more than 2.1 million people affected, and an estimated damage cost of P 2.3 Billion in both agriculture and infrastructure were incurred. An investigative survey team of the Pampanga River Flood Forecasting and Warning Center (PRFFWC) composed of Messrs. Armando P. Taruc (Senior Weather. Specialist), Hilton T. Hernando (Weather Facilities Specialist II) and Pablito Villablanca (Weather Observer III), was dispatched to the Pampanga River Basin to take on the following tasks: 1. Conduct a post-flood survey from September 7 to 12, 2004, to assess and make scientific evaluation of the flooding in the area; 2. Coordinate with other concerned agencies (LGU’s and NGO’s) and entities on the conduct of the study in connection with the flooding event; and 3. To recommend measures focusing on the non-structural means to minimize and mitigate flood losses in both life and property. This disastrous flood is considered the major flood of 2004. A record high of river stage for Pampanga River at Arayat station and, likewise, a record water level for the Candaba Swamp area were attained during this event.
