  • 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.

  • Transportation History of the Philippines
    Transportation history of the Philippines This article describes the various forms of transportation in the Philippines. Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country.

  • These Improvement Measures, However, Will Not Fundamentally Improve Future Traffic Congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS Proposes Two New Major Access Roads to Terminal 3
    MMUTIS Final Report These improvement measures, however, will not fundamentally improve future traffic congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS proposes two new major access roads to Terminal 3. The first proposal will provide a new interchange from the Skyway to Sales Road. The interchange has to shift slightly from the exact location of the Nichols Interchange, but contained on Sales Road as an elevated structure. This facility will connect Terminal 3 directly with the Skyway, which serves SLE near Magallanes Interchange and Pasay Road or Buendia Avenue over the Magallanes Interchange. The second proposal is an underground tunnel from C-5 South Section to Andrews Avenue to go under the main runway. Although it needs very sensitive construction technologies, it is a technically possible alternative. This facility will directly connect Terminal 3 with C-5, which serves Roxas Boulevard southbound and C-5 northbound. Table 10.18 Airport Access Improvement Projects Project Cost Project Name Length (P million) Tramo Road-Andrews Avenue Left-turning Flyover --- 120 Nichols Interchange Improvements --- 135 Alternative 1) Skyway New Airport Interchange 1.3 km 1,893 Alternative 2) Andrews Ave. Extension (underground link) 1.3 km 6,146 1) 2,148 Total 2) 6,400 Due to the cost, the better alternative would be the Skyway Interchange, while the second proposal can be for future consideration. 10.4 Proposed Public Transport Projects 1) MRT Integration This project intends to improve the integration of Lines 1 and 3 and a possible Line 6 at the Baclaran-Pasay Rotonda area. The current plan, which terminates Line 3 at Taft/EDSA Station at-grade, would create serious traffic problem in the area and restrict the opportunity to serve the reclamation area.

  • Battling Congestion in Manila: the Edsa Problem
    Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 82, 2013 BATTLING CONGESTION IN MANILA: THE EDSA PROBLEM Yves Boquet ABSTRACT The urban density of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one the highest of the world and the rate of motorization far exceeds the street capacity to handle traffic. The setting of the city between Manila Bay to the West and Laguna de Bay to the South limits the opportunities to spread traffic from the south on many axes of circulation. Built in the 1940’s, the circumferential highway EDSA, named after historian Epifanio de los Santos, seems permanently clogged by traffic, even if the newer C-5 beltway tries to provide some relief. Among the causes of EDSA perennial difficulties, one of the major factors is the concentration of major shopping malls and business districts alongside its course. A second major problem is the high number of bus terminals, particularly in the Cubao area, which provide interregional service from the capital area but add to the volume of traffic. While authorities have banned jeepneys and trisikel from using most of EDSA, this has meant that there is a concentration of these vehicles on side streets, blocking the smooth exit of cars. The current paper explores some of the policy options which may be considered to tackle congestion on EDSA . INTRODUCTION Manila1 is one of the Asian megacities suffering from the many ills of excessive street traffic. In the last three decades, these cities have experienced an extraordinary increase in the number of vehicles plying their streets, while at the same time they have sprawled into adjacent areas forming vast megalopolises, with their skyline pushed upwards with the construction of many high-rises.

    1 PERFORMANCE OF THE SENATE Q FOURTEENTH CONGRESS Second Regular Session July 28,2008–June 3, 2009 Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile Sine Die Adjournment Speech June 3, 2009 A SENATE OF THE PEOPLE My distinguished colleagues in the Senate: When I assumed the leadership of the Senate almost seven months ago, I committed myself to discharge my duties as Senate President ac- cording to my best lights—according to my conscience and my notion of what is good for the country, for our people and for this Institution. It was, I remember, a period of uncertainty, with the global economic crisis casting a cloud of gloom across the nation. Fears of businesses closing shop, of massive job losses and of hunger were real, especially for our countrymen who can barely eke out a living. I issued a call to my colleagues and the entire leadership of this na- tion to act with a sense of urgency to address our people’s most serious problems and concerns as well as important national issues. It was imperative for the Senate to act: to give our people a sense of hope, and to restore their faith in their elected representatives and leaders to rise up to their expectation that we can offer solutions to their problems and difficulties in the face of the economic storm we are faced with. You and I know that there are external forces and events that are beyond our control. But what we can manage and muster is our ability to respond to those events. It is against this backdrop that we, the Senate, should measure what we have done and what we still need to do as we close the Second Regular Session of the 14th Congress.

  • Exploring the Emerging Impact of Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) in Metro Manila
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.74 (2015), pp.11-24 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2015.74.02 Exploring the Emerging Impact of Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) in Metro Manila Tomas U. Ganiron Jr Te Roopu Taurima O Manukau, Otahuhu, Auckland DOST Engineering and Science Education Project (ESEP).Taguig City Qassim University, College of Architecture, Almulyda, Buraidah City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) operation with the aim of characterizing MRT operation and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. This also involves analyzing the status of the operations of MRT-3 in terms of accessibility to passengers, routing and convenience and determination of the factors affecting development of the MRT system. The study further concludes that the resources for MRT improvement are scarce, and maintenance and management of the work done are hardly enough. However, MRT-3 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3), also known as Metrostar Express, is `public good and has been seen as serving a number of purposes and producing a number of public benefits. These public benefits can be categorized into two; direct and indirect benefits. The direct benefits of rail transit systems are defined in terms of accessibility improvement impacts.
