The megacity composes of 16 cities and municipalities and has a total land area of 620 square kilometers or 239 square miles. In the most recent study by the United Nations, Metro Manila is 18th of the most populated megacities in the world with a total population of 13,131,000 in 2016 and is expected to grow by another 3,000,000 by 2030. As the center of economic growth in the country, surrounding provinces from the northern and southern parts of the island of Luzon congregate in key growth centers such as the Makati Central Business District, Bonifacio Global City and Ortigas Center. Like most Asian cities, Metro Manila is at the peak of the real estate boom, with developments sprouting here and there, creating a web of new townships that link to the principal growth centers in and out of the metropolis. This network of development is expanding to the nearby provinces, where industrial parks, commercial developments and mostly residential enclaves are being built. The sixteen cities and municipalities of the metropolis is principally connected by a main thoroughfare, Epifanio De Los Santos Avenue or EDSA, a ten-lane highway that also follows MRT 3, the heavily used light rail system that connects to two other light rail lines, LRT 1 and LRT 2. New rail lines serving Metro Manila and the surrounding provinces are also in the government’s transportation project pipeline, for implementation beginning this year. However, the development of these plans, along with the improvements and building of new roads are not easily realized due to game-changing political events such as the EDSA Revolution in 1986 and the changing administrations with different sets of Image 1. Satellite image of Metro Manila priorities and plans for mass transit. The (source: Google Earth) lack of an efficient mass transit system has led residents within and outside the metropolis to use different modes of private and public ground transportation, increasing the number of vehicles competing for limited road space. While Metro Manila dawdled in its public infrastructure amidst the metropolis’ continuous exponential growth, the current mobility crisis worsened beyond the critical zone. Metro Manila’s traffic crisis did not happen overnight. It is rooted from lack of urban planning, good governance and political will resulting to infrastructure deficiency, inadequate publicly- managed and well-maintained mass transit system that could have been avoided by building the city’s planned transport infrastructure in time since the 80s. This is further escalated by 3 the increase in motor vehicles competing for limited road space, as a result of inadequate public transportation infrastructure. Image 2. Morning traffic along Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA), Metro Manila (Source: Inquirer.net) An estimated total of 18 million trips are made daily, 70% of which are made by public transport (39% by jeepneys, 14% by bus and 9% by rail) and 30% by private cars taking over an inadequate road network that averages a vehicle density of 3,677 per square kilometer, higher than Singapore’s (1,360), Tokyo’s (967) and New York City’s (2,504).1 This makes the average daily commute 90-150 minutes, taking up 20% of a person’s typical 12-hour day. This doesn’t include the wait time one person spends waiting for public transport, whether it’s by bus, jeepney or rail. The transportation issue in Metro Manila is an urban planning problem that will need a long-term solution that will not fully take effect in 15-20 years. For now, Metro Manila residents must cope with the problem by having to get used to the hassles of daily commute. Commuting is a huge part of daily life in Metro Manila, making transit facilities such as light rail stations and garage terminals as important public spaces in Manila’s urban life. In these places, people spend an inordinate amount of time in different types of situations, climates and seasons. 1 Santiago, Rene. “Easing Metro Manila Traffic Congestion.” Philippine Daily Inquirer, January 10, 2016. 4 The commuting experience in the metro starts and ends from the time one leaves his home, workplace or school. Based on interviews and observations, a commuter in Metro Manila will wait an average of 15-30 minutes for transportation to arrive, but during monsoon season and the holiday rush from November to December, wait time can be as long as 60 to 90 minutes depending on the destination. During peak hours, commuters try to cope by squeezing in last minute errands or by overstaying in their workplaces and in shopping malls until the rush hour has waned. For some office workers who work the typical daily 8-hour shift, commuting, including the time spent at terminals, averages around one to two hours. The commuting experience in transport terminals vary. Some have the necessary amenities while others do not have. Others have limited capacity that makes the experience grueling for the commuter. Ownership of public spaces is also a concern, especially in terms of terminal maintenance and management. Aside from the rail stations, transport terminals aren’t publicly owned. Most are privately owned either by the transportation company or are part of a privately-owned development. Because of this nature, there is an underlying equity issue that hinders the provision of a full serviced experience for both commuters and drivers. Terminals are one of the mostly used public spaces in Metro Manila. The situation within these places greatly affects the everyday lives of the people, even if they just stayed there for one or two hours. Unlike other public spaces like parks and plazas, terminals are mostly utilitarian that the idea of an enjoyable transit terminal is new especially to commuters. However, with the amount of time spent in these places, it is only right to make commuting an enjoyable experience for passengers and drivers alike, amidst terrible traffic and road conditions that are waiting for them outside. Terminals, like any other public spaces, should be able to uplift the experience of its users and improve the quality of their everyday lives. 5 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Metro Manila is a large city that is experiencing exponential growth. Due to lack of efficient mass transit system, inefficient building of infrastructure brought about by political events and changes in government administration, the current transportation infrastructure is not enough to cover the growth of the city. This is causing immense traffic, conditions that are aggravated by increase of motor vehicles in the city. And this creates a snowball effect, with the traffic situation affecting the commuting experience, experience from the moment you leave your place of origin to the moment you arrive in your destination, including the wait time in terminals. For growth centers and central business districts where thousands of Metro Manila residents flock to everyday, public transport terminals are important parts of their daily lives. And despite the current mobility crisis that the city is experiencing right now, new developments are still very much transit-oriented rather than commuter and pedestrian- centered, including public transport terminals. This creates a very stressful environment in terminals, which impacts the public’s daily life immensely. With this, there is a need to revisit the current situation of public transport terminals especially in growth centers and central business districts, important urban hubs of commerce, culture and socialization. A thorough review of the existing terminal situation is needed in order to identify the needs for improvement of its amenities, management, maintenance and programming. 6 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goal of this study is to identify the issues and areas for improvement of public transport terminals in Metro Manila, with Makati Central Business District (MCBD), one of the country’s most important financial districts, as the primary case study area. The following are the key objectives of the study: 1. Identify placemaking strategies to improve commuter experience in transit terminals The study aims to identify placemaking strategies that will uplift the commuting experience in transport terminals through facility improvements, management and stakeholder involvement strategies and programming. These strategies will be established from the neighborhood context of MCBD and Metro Manila’s current policies and infrastructure situation. Ultimately, these recommendations could be replicated in other growth centers, districts and neighborhoods in the city. 2. Utilize existing infrastructure to improve connectivity and public use Metro Manila’s growth centers have a number of the public spaces that are underutilized for a number of reasons such as maintenance, prejudiced rules and regulations and lack of programming. The study aims to identify opportunities to utilize untapped public spaces as links and expansion areas for transit terminals. Not only will this provide adequate space for transit terminals, this will also create opportunities for other uses that can provide opportunities to the neighborhood’s economic growth, social dynamics and physical infrastructure.

  • The First Filipino and Boricua Historians
    Latin American Literary Review Goldwin Smith Hall, Cornell University • Ithaca, NY 14853 • 607-255-4155 Volume 45 / Number 90 2018 E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.lalrp.net Imperial Endnotes: The First Filipino and Boricua Historians Ernest Rafael Hartwell, PhD College of the Holy Cross ABSTRACT: The Philippines and Puerto Rico are part of a transoceanic archipelago of colonies that continued under Spanish rule throughout the 19th century, long after the Latin American wars of independence. This article examines parallel projects in anticolonial historiography from these two regions through the prism of converging and diverging articulations of authority. Specifically, two late 19th-century intellectuals, José Julián Acosta of Puerto Rico and José Rizal of the Philippines, dust off 17th- and 18th-century tomes of official Spanish colonial history, publishing critical editions of these histories. Acosta and Rizal insert their own voices into discussions over the past, present, and future of their colonies through the annotations that they append to the original texts. While scholars often affirm that the work of Latin American 19th-century writing is to facilitate the forgetting of differences in the service of community consolidation, I argue that these experiments in marginal historiography constitute a contentious and continual revisiting of difference at the root of the authors’ assertion of their own authority: difference from Spain, from the popular classes, and from other colonies. These projects of annotation expose the racialized nature of the colonial intellectuals’ constructions of authority, pointing to diverging understandings of the work of doubt in anticolonial historiography. The Philippines and Puerto Rico, often overlooked in studies of Latin American literature and history, are endnotes to Spain’s imperial saga.

    www.unisdr.org/campaign Making Cities Resilient: My City is Getting Ready! World Disaster Reduction Campaign 2010-2011 Makati City is getting ready! Makati City, National Capital Region (Metro-Manila), Philippines Population: 510,383 Type of Hazard(s): Typhoons, Earthquakes, Floods For the past years, Makati is among the cities in NCR affected by several hydrometeorological disasters such as Typhoon Milenyo (Xangsane) in 2006, Typhoon Egay (Sepat) in 2007, Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in 2009, and Typhoon Pepeng (Parma) also in 2009. There are two physical characteristics of the City that pose danger to its present and future development. A part of the Valley Fault System, a potential generator of a large magnitude of earthquake in NCR is located at the eastern part of Makati. Six (6) barangays (communities) were identified as high risk areas. Second, the western portion of the City is composed of former tidal flats where seven (7) barangays are flood-prone. Disaster Risk Reduction activities Essential 1: Put in place Organisation and coordination The City Government established and institutionalised the Makati City Disaster Coordinating Council (MCDCC) as a specialised task group for the coordination of disaster reduction policies and strategies between the national, regional levels and the city level. MCDCC also serves as a policy decision-making body for DRR-related activities. Essential 2: Assign a budget for DRR As mandated by the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) the City Government allots 5% of its total annual fund for calamity. From 2010 onwards, the City Government optimises the said fund to be used for disaster preparedness and risk reduction in addition to disaster response and post recovery initiatives.

  • The Ideology of the Dual City: the Modernist Ethic in the Corporate Development of Makati City, Metro Manila
    bs_bs_banner Volume 37.1 January 2013 165–85 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research DOI:10.1111/j.1468-2427.2011.01100.x The Ideology of the Dual City: The Modernist Ethic in the Corporate Development of Makati City, Metro Manila MARCO GARRIDO Abstractijur_1100 165..185 Postcolonial cities are dual cities not just because of global market forces, but also because of ideological currents operating through local real-estate markets — currents inculcated during the colonial period and adapted to the postcolonial one. Following Abidin Kusno, we may speak of the ideological continuity behind globalization in the continuing hold of a modernist ethic, not only on the imagination of planners and builders but on the preferences of elite consumers for exclusive spaces. Most of the scholarly work considering the spatial impact of corporate-led urban development has situated the phenomenon in the ‘global’ era — to the extent that the spatial patterns resulting from such development appear wholly the outcome of contemporary globalization. The case of Makati City belies this periodization. By examining the development of a corporate master-planned new city in the 1950s rather than the 1990s, we can achieve a better appreciation of the influence of an enduring ideology — a modernist ethic — in shaping the duality of Makati. The most obvious thing in some parts of Greater Manila is that the city is Little America, New York, especially so in the new exurbia of Makati where handsome high-rise buildings, supermarkets, apartment-hotels and shopping centers flourish in a setting that could well be Palm Beach or Beverly Hills.
