Topography and Slope a. Topography Benguet has rugged, irregularly patterned ridges, canyons and peaks, many of which are above 2,400 meters above sea level (masl) in elevation. High mountains, precipitous escarpments, and high cliffs generally characterize the land. The lowest elevation is about 100 masl at the southern boundary of the province and the highest is at the northern area rising to more than 2,800 masl. Almost all (93%) areas of the province have an elevation of more than 500masl. Within Benguet is found the second highest mountain in the Philippines. Mount Pulag is a premier eco-tourist destination having a distinct floral and fauna. The mountainous terrain is cut up by the valleys of La Trinidad, Loo, Amburayan, Bued, and Galliano. Hot Springs dot the land with at least one found in almost all municipalities. 3 PENRO Benguet.docx….ma.ann L.

    THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

Mae Menzi, BSN Cici Donna Real, BSN Keanu Ufina, BSN John Michael Brico Solis, SN School of Nursing, Saint Louis University, Baguio, Philippines Aim: To describe the cultural perspectives in terms of causes, responses, and signs and symptoms of depression by the: Kankana-eys, Ilocanos, and Maranaos in the Philippines and to determine the culturally-based management for depression across the cultures. Background: The intricate complexity surrounding depression might be grounded from cultural subtlety. The protracted base of depression has ignited interest on deeper understanding and finding the relevant management that might be deeply embedded in cultures. Therefore, to bring light to this might counteract the burgeoning prevalence and impact of depression across different culture. Methods: Ethnographic design was employed with interviewing a total of 41 participants. The participants are traditional healers, local cultural experts, writers of books, local religious leaders, and with the age ranging 46-85 years old and all have personally witnessed and/or performed cultural practices on depression. To enhance the richness of the study, crystallization of data gathering were done that is including structured interview, field notes (immersion), focus group discussions, documentary analysis, and observational analysis. The study focused on describing the cultural perspectives on meanings, causes, and attitudes, and culturally-based management on depression from Baguio City, Municipalities of Kapangan, Buguias, and Kibungan, Province of Benguet, and Vigan City, Philippines.

SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper.

    SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT OF RELOCATION SITES FOR DISPLACED FAMILIES IN BAGUIO CITY, LA TRINIDAD, ITOGON AND TUBLAY, BENGUET PROVINCE Typhoon Pepeng that hit Northern Luzon in October 2009 has caused several landslides in Baguio City and Benguet Province resulting to heavy casualties (Baguio City,61; Benguet,193) and displacement of families. In Baguio City, 97 houses were totally damaged and 204 were partially damaged resulting to displacement of 683 families. For Benguet, 599 and 1,285 houses were totally and partially damaged, respectively, resulting to 34,236 families displaced. Proposed Relocation Sites by LGU’s and Other Gov’t Agencies/ Institutions: 1. NHA Housing Project, Tadiangan, Tuba 2. Lots 9 & 10, BSU Reservation, Lubas, La Trinidad 3. Kalye Real Benguet Corp. Patentable Mining Claim, Tuding, Itogon 4. Sito Upper Coroz, Brgy. Ambassador, Tublay 5. Benguet Realty Lot, Brgy. Puguis, La Trinidad NHA Housing Project, Tadiangan, Tuba, Benguet Geological Assessment Result: 1. characterized by mountainous terrain dissected by a number of creeks and gullies 2. Underlain by highly weathered conglomerates of the Klondyke formation 3. Presence of several old and active landslides 4. Many portions of the site underlain by landslide deposits Conclusions and Recommendations: 1. Phases II and III not recommended for residential purposes 2. Phase I could be utilized for housing purposes but engineering measures must be implemented to stabilize the slopes 3. Lots affected by landslides to be excluded and utilized as open space N Not drawn to scale Legend: - Active Escarpment - Ancient Escarpment NHA Tuba Housing Project A slide along the Phase 3 main road of the NHA housing site at Brgy.Tadiangan in Tuba.
