Mapping the Eco-Social Construct of Santa Rosa An Emerging City in a Watershed of Opportunities for Development Nathaniel C. Bantayan1 Leah P. Dela Rosa2 Sylvia D. Clemente 2 Maria Magdalene P. Guevarra1 Kyle Pierre R. Israel1 1 Institute of Renewable Natural Resources, College of Forestry and Natural Resources University of the Philippines - Los Baños 2 College of Architecture University of Santo Tomas Abstract The years 1946 to 2020 saw the gradual dwindling of Santa Rosa City, Laguna’s agricultural land, from 96% to 15.4%. Meanwhile, the city’s urbanization catapulted to 84.5% by 2013 from just below 4% in 1946. Under the regional development plan of the Aquino Administration designating Region IV-A, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon (CALABARZON) as the industrial hub of the country, and driven by the increased access with the construction of the expressway in the 1980s, Santa Rosa City’s manufacturing industry rose from 746 in 1980 to 5,201 in 2013, a near 700% increase. Today, Santa Rosa City is at the heart of BANTAYAN, ET AL.: MAPPING THE ECO-SOCIAL UNITAS 326 the urbanization and industrialization, topping Metro Manila’s economic growth. The highest population density is concentrated at the shore areas of Laguna Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines. From an environmental perspective, this is an economic bubble waiting to burst, but the effect to the city’s environmental sustainability is dire: water abstrac- tion at its highest may lead to land subsidence, not to mention water scar- city, which the environmental effects lead to the increased pollution of its catchments, waterways, and the shoreline, and continuous land conversion particularly for housing are imperiling its array of ecosystem services.

Dwiggins September 9, 2006 December 1, 2011 June 22, 2014 This interview presents a small cross section of, Lorenzo Cornista’s guerrilla operations in the Philippines during Japanese Occupation, World War II. Rather than surrender, these great men chose to wage a different kind of war that was effective and further risked their lives. If not for the precise intelligence that the Filipino guerrilla organizations amassed, liberating forces could never have advanced so quickly to Leyte, Luzon and Japan eventually bringing a long waited freedom. The sufferings of fellow countrymen would have been prolonged. Lorenzo Cornista of San Pablo City, Philippines is a surviving member of San Pedro’s unit of Markings Fil-American Guerrilla Forces. Originally the organization was Hugh Straughn’s Fil-American Irregular Troops (FAIT) but after the death of Straughn, Col.Marcos V. Marking took over the FAIT’s command which he drummed up as Marking’s Fil-Americans. I consulted Lorenzo long ago about the possibilities of an interview and in agreement we decided that the late afternoon of September 9, 2006 we would meet up. My wife and I entered the 50 year-old, two-story, Spanish style bungalow and the Cornista’s saw to it we were comfortably seated then Lorenzo found contentment is a wooden rocking chair. The rocker sat at its forward position as he poured over treasures and recollections of youthful days and the adventures of war spread out on a small table. Several folders and four books were within a hand’s reach and after some greetings and pleasantries we settled into the interview.
