Applicability of the Bus Rapid Transit System Along Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue
5st ATRANS SYMPOSIUM STUDENT CHAPTER SESSION AUGUST24-25, 2012 BANGKOK THAILAND APPLICABILITY OF THE BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM ALONG EPIFANIO DELOS SANTOS AVENUE Paper Identification number: SCS12-004 Marcus Kyle BARON1, Caroline ESCOVER2, Mayumi TSUKAMOTO3 1Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering De La Salle University - Manila Telephone 02-524-4611 E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering De La Salle University - Manila Telephone 02-524-4611 E-mail: [email protected] 3Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering De La Salle University - Manila Telephone 02-524-4611 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA), the 24-kilometer long prime artery of Metro Manila experiences heavy traffic daily. According to recent studies, 50% excess buses add drastically to the growing number of vehicles passing through EDSA. One way to decongest traffic is to cut through the volume of buses. A Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system can be more effective in improving the service operation of buses rather than implementing more city bus operations. The study presents a proposed BRT system in EDSA. The study evaluates the transportation impact of the BRT system on commuter movement and urban travel, and assesses the environmental benefits of the proposed BRT system. Data used in this study were obtained through vehicle counting, onboard surveying of bus, cars, taxi and MRT and 1996 MMUTIS study. These were calibrated using the software EMME3 to build a traffic demand forecast model considering four scenarios: without BRT on the base year; without BRT on the design years; with BRT and with city buses traversing along EDSA; and with BRT but without the city buses traversing along EDSA on the design years 2016 and 2021. -

Such is the case in megacities of developing and emerging countries in Southeast Asia, in which rapid urbanization, vehicles of obsolete technology, outdated air quality legislations, and crumbling infrastructure lead to poor air quality. However, since measurements of BC are generally not mandatory, its spatial and temporal characteristics, especially in developing megacities, are poorly understood. To raise awareness on the urgency of monitoring and mitigating the air quality crises in megacities, we present the results of the first intensive characterization experiment in Metro Manila, Philippines, focusing on the spatial and diurnal variability of equivalent BC (eBC). -

FOURTEENTH CONGRESS of the . T ~~~.~~~~~~~
FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE 1 11. REPUBLIC OF THE PEULIPPINES ) i pC'[ -9 I> i . t ..~4 First Regular Session 1 SENATE ~~~.~~~~~~~UY :.-. INTRODUCED BY SENATOR ANTONIO F. TRILLANES AND SENATOR MAR ROUS EXPLANATORY NOTE It has been observed that a number of major streets in Metro Manila have been renamed in honor of past presidents of the country, namely, Manuel L. Quezon, Jose P. Laurel, Manuel A. Roxas, Elpidio Quirino and Ramon Magsaysay. Be that as it may, there is no major street in this premier metropolis that has been named or a monument of substance built in honor of General Emilio Aguinaldo, the President of the First PhiIippine Republic. President Aguinaldo, whose presidency was inaugurated on June 12, 1898 in Kawit, Cavite, remains to be unappreciated and underrepresented especially in matters that can exalt him for his unprecedented leadership. Considering that we are celebrating the 1 anniversary of First Philippine Republic next year (2008), it is a propitious time to give honor to the distinguished Filipino who was one of the leaders who signed the Pact of Biak-na-Bat0 and was the president of the Supreme Council of the Biak-na-Bat0 Republican Government, and who also led the resistance against the American imperialist forces. This bill, therefore, seeks to give due recognition to the valor and statesmanship of General Aguinaldo by renaming Circumferential Road 5 (from SLEX to Commonwealth Avenue), located in Metro Manila, as Emilio Aguinaldo Avenue. The role of Aguinaldo, the military leader of the Republic, is entitled to a "long-delayed place of honor" in the national pantheon of heroes. -

Participatory Governance Institutions for Social Housing in the Philippines: Do Local Housing Boards Matter?
Philippine Journal of Development Volume 45 (2018) Number 1 Participatory Governance Institutions for Social Housing in the Philippines: Do Local Housing Boards Matter? Marife M. Ballesteros and Jenica A. Ancheta¹ ABSTRACT This study documents the application of participatory governance for social housing in the Philippines through the local housing boards (LHBs). The interest to institutionalize LHBs in local government units (LGUs) has grown mostly in the country’s highly urbanized cities. LHBs are seen to involve communities in the decisionmaking process to bring about inclusive welfare and enhance social housing outcomes. Thus, they have an important role in the adoption of effective social housing policies and programs for the poor. This study shows that LGUs vary in their implementation of LHBs. Many cities created their LHBs only in compliance with the law while some LGUs established their own mainly on paper. These LHBs either become inactive or fail to follow the appropriate representation of people’s organizations and the communities. Other LGUs activate their LHBs only when there is a need to hasten the process of eviction and demolition in informal settlements. The LHBs in these LGUs have a limited role as an institution for participatory governance. On the other hand, social housing policies and projects that cater to the poor are evident among LGUs with functioning LHBs. There are representativeness, transparency, and openness in the local government for the housing needs of the vulnerable sector, resulting in the national government’s provision of budget for the development of inclusive local housing policies and projects. This is why LHBs should be strengthened as a participatory governance institution, which can be done through a legislative act that will empower them 1 Marife M.
