Offshore seismic profiles in the Tañon Strait between the islands of Negros and Cebu Low strain rate show a northwest dipping reverse fault consistent in location, geometry and mechanism with the nodal Seismic hazard assessment plane calculated from earthquake data. The earthquake generator is here proposed to be named the Negros Oriental Thrust (NOT). Geologic transects established from structural traverses across the earth- quake region reveal an east-verging fold-thrust system. In the latitude of Guihulngan, this fold-thrust sys- tem is represented by the Razor Back Anticline – Negros Oriental Thrust pair, and by the Pamplona Anticline – Yupisan Thrust pair in the latitude of Dumaguete to the south. Together, these active fold- thrust systems are causing active deformation of the western section of the Visayan Sea Basin under a compressional tectonic regime. This finding contradicts previous tectonic models that interpret the Tañon Strait as a graben, bounded on both sides by normal faults supposedly operating under an exten- sional regime. The Negros Earthquake and the active fold-thrust systems that were discovered in the course of the structural analysis provide strong arguments for basin inversion processes now affecting the Visayan Sea Basin, albeit under very slow strain rates derived from previous GPS campaigns. The occurrence of the earthquake in an area where no active faults have been previously recognized and char- acterized by slow present-day strain rates underscores the necessity of paying more attention to and exerting more effort in the evaluation of earthquake hazards of regions that are seemingly seismically quiet, especially when they underlie highly urbanized areas.

  • Summary Poverty Reduction and Social Strategy
    Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project (RRP PHI 41076) SUMMARY POVERTY REDUCTION AND SOCIAL STRATEGY Country: Philippines Project Title: Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project Lending/Financing Sector Loan Department/ Southeast Asia Department Modality: Division: Transport and Communications Division I. POVERTY AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY Poverty targeting: General intervention A. Links to the National Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth Strategy and Country Partnership Strategy The project objectives support the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), 2017–2022,a which targets reducing poverty incidence from 21.6% in 2015 to 14.0% by 2022, or by about 6 million people. Among the targets under the strategic framework of the PDP, 2017–2022 are that (i) growth will be more inclusive, as manifested by a lower poverty incidence in rural areas, from 30% in 2015 to 20% in 2022; and (ii) the unemployment rate will decline from the current 5.6% (2017) to 3%–5% in 2022. The PDP notes that infrastructure undergirds a country’s socioeconomic development, the more strategically distributed it is—both by sectoral and spatially—the better it is for inclusive growth and sustainable development. A principal objective of Asian Development Bank (ADB) support for the Philippines is to help in the achievement of high, inclusive, and sustainable growth. Support for infrastructure development, including transport, forms a core part of ADB’s operational strategy for the country. B. Results from the Poverty and Social Analysis during PPTA or Due Diligence 1. Key poverty and social issues. Poverty incidence in the Philippines in 2015 was estimated at 21.6%, equivalent to about 22 million Filipinos who cannot afford their basic needs.

  • “Hard, Bitter, Unpleasantly Necessary Duty” a Little-Known World War II Story of the Philippines
    A Filipino medical assistant bandages the injured arm of a woman in a PCAU clinic at San Rogue on Leyte Island, January 1945. “Hard, Bitter, Unpleasantly Necessary Duty” A Little-Known World War II Story of the Philippines By David Smollar 6 Prologue Summer 2015 n the steamy dawn of Friday, May 4, 1945, hundreds of Filipino residents in the western Leyte port of Palompon lined the shore along the Visayan Sea. The special U.S. Army team known as PCAU 17, after four months of helping to heal and jump-start their war-torn com- munity, was sailing to another island needing aid. For more than two hours under an already baking sun, they watched the boat slowly make its way from Ithe pier, serenading the departing soldiers and wishing them Godspeed. “The local citizens sought us out to wring our hands, thank us, and bless us, and thank us again in their own version of Bon Voyage,” the medical officer with Philippine Civil Affairs Unit (PCAU) 17 wrote in one of his many letters home. “Lots of emotion was expressed,” he added. “A real poverty stricken mother of a skeletal child I saw during the first days after fighting stopped, reckoned now as long ago in ‘war time,’ handed me a dozen fresh eggs. Another former patient gave me fried chicken. The hospital men and women, they financed a pair of house slippers and tea cloth as a ‘thank you’ for me. “You know, I’m pretty gruff, and I was often damn tough in getting these people to understand how to fight illness and disease, but all this made me, well, downright sentimental.

  • Part Ii Metro Manila and Its 200Km Radius Sphere
    PART II METRO MANILA AND ITS 200KM RADIUS SPHERE CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA 7.1 PHYSICAL PROFILE The area defined by a sphere of 200 km radius from Metro Manila is bordered on the northern part by portions of Region I and II, and for its greater part, by Region III. Region III, also known as the reconfigured Central Luzon Region due to the inclusion of the province of Aurora, has the largest contiguous lowland area in the country. Its total land area of 1.8 million hectares is 6.1 percent of the total land area in the country. Of all the regions in the country, it is closest to Metro Manila. The southern part of the sphere is bound by the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, all of which comprise Region IV-A, also known as CALABARZON. 7.1.1 Geomorphological Units The prevailing landforms in Central Luzon can be described as a large basin surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides. On its northern boundary, the Caraballo and Sierra Madre mountain ranges separate it from the provinces of Pangasinan and Nueva Vizcaya. In the eastern section, the Sierra Madre mountain range traverses the length of Aurora, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan. The Zambales mountains separates the central plains from the urban areas of Zambales at the western side. The region’s major drainage networks discharge to Lingayen Gulf in the northwest, Manila Bay in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the China Sea in the west.

Dominant species caught were Decapterus spp. having 70.09% of the total catch, followed by Selar spp. at 12.66% and Rastrelliger spp. 10.70%. Among the Decapterus spp. caught, D. macrosoma attained the highest total catch composition by species having 68.81% followed by D. kurroides and D.russelli with 0.31% and 1.14% respectively. The round scad fishery stock was composed mainly of juvenile fish (less than 13 cm) and Age group II (13 cm to 14 cm). Few large round scad at Age group IV and V (20 cm to 28 cm) stayed at the fishery.

The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992.
