    Philippines Pampanga Delta Development Project, Flood Control Component (1) External Evaluator: Taro Tsubugo Field Survey: November 2004 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Baguio Manila Project site Cebu City Philippines Davao Project site location map A newly-developed dike road 1.1 Background The Philippines experiences severe damages from flooding and landslides caused by tropical storms. Although the government attaches importance to flood control projects, constraint on the fiscal budget have hampered the implementation of these projects. The lower basin of the Pampanga River is one of the areas most frequently affected by flooding. In the Pampanga Delta, which is consisted of swampy lowland and the mouth areas of the Pampanga River, typhoons frequently resulted in flooding and caused considerable damage to the farming and fishing industry and to public and private property. With the delta being at 0-9m above sea level, the Pampanga River has limited flow capacity. Flood control projects undertaken on the Pampanga River can date back to 1939. As the development potential (such as aquaculture) of the lower basin areas drew attentions in more recent years, the necessity of flood controls at the west of Sulipan, in particular, had increased. 1.2 Objectives This project’s objective was to enhance flood controls on the lower basins of the Pampanga River in Central Luzon, an area prone to perennial flooding, by implementing river improvement works, thereby contributing to improvements in living standards and to regional economic growth. 1.3 Borrower/Executing Agency Government of the Philippine Republic/Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 1 1.4 Outline of Loan Agreement Loan Amount/Disbursed Amount 8,634 million yen/7,537 million yen Exchange of Notes/Loan Agreement October 1989/February 1990 Terms and Conditions Interest Rate 2.7% Repayment Date (Grace Period) 30 years (10 years) Procurement General untied (Consultant component: partially untied) Final Disbursement Date December 2001 Contractors Kawasho Corporation, Hanil Development Co., Ltd.

  • Kapampangan Folk Music, Games, and Theater
    2021-4192-AJHA – 18 APR 2021 1 Kapampangan Folk Music, Games, and Theater: 2 An Endangered Oral Traditions 3 4 The culture of the Kapampangan people in the province of Pampanga, 5 Philippines is so diverse that even its name Pampang is rooted on the word 6 which means shore or the loading and unloading point of all transactions 7 that are foreign, starting from the time of the early Chinese down to the 8 Spaniards and so on. Among these diversities are the oral traditions found 9 in the province which they learned true word of mouth. The researcher used 10 2 folk songs, 2 games, and 1 local theatre in the study: The Atin Ku Pung 11 Sing-Sing and Inyang Malati Ku folk songs which tell how the common 12 Kapampangan live, love, and laugh; The ancient structured poetic game 13 bulaklakan, which is usually performed during funeral wakes to mitigate the 14 pain experienced by the bereaved family, and the salikutan (hide and seek) 15 game where the starter needs to utter a chant before the game will start; 16 And lastly, the re-enactment of Joseph and pregnant Mary looking for 17 shelter held only during the night of Christmas using the native language 18 traversing in the streets of the village which they called layunan. This study 19 covered history, tradition, and ceremonies observed in Pampanga; its results 20 included interviews with 22 elder informants and 88 young respondents. The 21 main results were (1) the established oral traditions of the Kapampangans 22 clashed with westernized trends and modern society, it is pushing out slowly 23 by technology, globalisation, modernisation, mass movements, political, 24 economic and natural calamities; (2) the attitude of using and choosing 25 English and Tagalog as the language/s at home instead of the Kapampangan 26 significantly contributed to the weakening Kapampangan oral tradition; (3) 27 Kapampangan oral traditions are slowly dying because of lack of exposure 28 and familiarity to it by the young Kapampangans.

  • Rodolfo & Siringan. 2006. Global SLR & Flooding in The
    Global sea-level rise is recognised 119 Global sea-level rise is recognised, but flooding from anthropogenic land subsidence is ignored around northern Manila Bay, Philippines Kelvin S. Rodolfo and Fernando P. Siringan1 Land subsidence resulting from excessive extraction of groundwater is particularly acute in East Asian countries. Some Philippine government sectors have begun to recognise that the sea-level rise of one to three millimetres per year due to global warming is a cause of worsening floods around Manila Bay, but are oblivious to, or ignore, the principal reason: excessive groundwater extraction is lowering the land surface by several centimetres to more than a decimetre per year. Such ignorance allows the government to treat flooding as a lesser problem that can be mitigated through large infrastructural projects that are both ineffective and vulnerable to corruption. Money would be better spent on preventing the subsidence by reducing groundwater pumping and moderating popula- tion growth and land use, but these approaches are politically and psychologically unacceptable. Even if groundwater use is greatly reduced and enlightened land-use practices are initiated, natural deltaic subsidence and global sea-level rise will continue to aggravate flooding, although at substan- tially lower rates. Keywords: enhanced flooding, groundwater overuse, land subsidence, regional sea-level rise, tidal incursion Introduction Since 1997, we have been using both physical methods and sociological surveys to study worsening floods and tidal incursions in the heavily populated and cultivated region around northern Manila Bay (Siringan and Rodolfo, 2003; Rodolfo et al., in press). Southeast of Pinatubo Volcano since its 1991 eruption, one cause has been channel filling by sediments from floods and lahars (flowing slurries of volcanic debris).
