It sought to promote and develop sewerage infrastructure in urban areas beyond Metro Manilla. Under this program, the central government introduced an implementation support system where 40% of total development costs for sewerage infrastructure of local government units (LGUs) would be subsidized by the national government, subject to standard appraisal procedures headed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The said 40% subsidy cover was eventually increased to 50% with the intent to attract more interested LGUs to apply for the support facility.. However, as of February 2019, only one local government unit has officially applied for the NSSMP support facility (Zamboanga City. In order to remedy this situation, the DPWH established a policy of striving to increase the application of this system through the expansion of local governments receiving the subsidy by means of infrastructure development. Instead of restricting the subsidy facility only to highly urbanized cities (HUCs), the facility was also made available to component cities (cities not regarded as highly urbanized) as well as first class municipalities. One of the reasons that sewerage infrastructure development has not progressed at the same pace as what the Philippines requires is due to the limited basic infrastructure in urban localities outside Metro Manila. However, the government of the Philippines is aware that delays in the provision of sewerage services would not only lead to environmental degradation, but also have an adverse impact on the tourism industry as well as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and other such industries. Improving sewerage and septage conditions in the Philippines was manifested in the much publicized closure of the popular resort island of Boracay in April 2018 by no less than President Rodrigo Duterte at a cabinet meeting. The president at that time decided to close down the island due to utter failures in sewerage management in the locality and due to sewerage management violations of several establishments in the island. Furthermore, announcements that effluent standards were not being upheld in 82 of 351 resort hotels in Bohol (another similar

  • Geoecological Situation in the Volga-Akhtuba
    J. Wetlands Biodiversity (2019) 9: 23-44 HISTORY, HYDROLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF BALILI RIVER, LA TRINIDAD, PHILIPPINES Jones T. Napaldet and Inocencio E. Buot Jr. Received: 13.08.2019 / Accepted: 24.10.2019 Abstract: This study documented the history, hydrology and ecology of Balili River as part of its rehabilitation efforts. Balili River, historically, is the cradle of civilization in La Trinidad, Benguet. It started as a small creek, but was widened becoming the main drainage in the valley. The river was pristine up to Japanese times, though with urbanization of La Trinidad and Baguio City, it became severely polluted. Previous study revealed that the river was most polluted near Baguio City and improved downstream but this trend has no longer been observed in recent data, indicating several sources of pollutants from La Trinidad itself. The river has recorded very high BOD, nutrient load, coliform and lead beyond the permissible levels. Its polluted state is also reflected in its biodiversity, currently dominated by organic pollution-associated algae, common weeds and mosquito fish. Several efforts have been exerted to rehabilitate the river but it is still polluted. This could be partly attributed to the limited and lack of in-depth scientific studies on the river. Keywords: Balili River, La Trinidad, water quality Introduction:1 study by the City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO 2013) of Balili River is an important water resource of Baguio City shows that half of the city's Baguio City and La Trinidad both historically population lives within the Balili watershed and economically. Like most urban rivers, area, contributing the most waste.

  • La Trinidad Physical Profile & Socio-Economic
    La Trinidad Socio-Economic & Physical Profile 2014 LA TRINIDAD PHYSICAL PROFILE & SOCIO-ECONOMIC 20141 I. PHYSICAL PROFILE General Location The capital town of Benguet Province, the Municipality of La Trinidad is located 256 kilometers north of Metro Manila. It is bounded on the north by the Municipality of Tublay, on the south by the city of Baguio, on the west by the Municipalities of Sablan and Tuba. Its geographical coordinates are 16 degrees, 21 minutes north latitude and 120 degrees and 35 minutes east longitude. The municipality is relatively the most developed settlement in the province of Benguet because of its proximity to the City of Baguio. It is the gateway of the southern lowlands into the Cordillera Region. Due to its advanced development, La Trinidad is considered as one of the Central Business Districts of Benguet. Philippines Cordillera Administrative Region Benguet Province Accessibility The municipality is accessible by land transport via the following entry points: from the Mt. Province through the Baguio-Bontoc Road; from La Union, through the Marcos Highway via the Pico-Lamtang; from Nueva Viscaya through the Benguet-Nueva Vizcaya Road; from Pangasinan, through Kennon road. All these roads converge at the City of Baguio. The nearest airport is located in nearby Baguio City, Loakan airport. Baguio- Manila travels take about 45 minutes flight or a 7-hour ride via land. Total road kilometerage for the whole municipality is 135.2 kilometers. The road network in the municipality exhibits a strong linear type of settlement characterized by a circumferential road that services the valley floor. Accessibility in the rural areas is still relatively inadequate, with generally very narrow roads.

  • Republic of the Philippines FY2015 Ex-Post Evaluation Of
    Republic of the Philippines FY2015 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan “Post Ondoy and Pepeng Short-term Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project” External Evaluator: Kenichi Inazawa, Octavia Japan Co, Ltd. 0. Summary This project rehabilitated flood control facilities, roads and bridges in central and northern Luzon Island, which was seriously affected by the Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng of 2009, with a view to prevent future damage and facilitate the early recovery of socioeconomic activities in the affected areas. Regarding relevance, the objectives of this project are consistent with the development policy of the Philippines at the start of this project, considering that the National Economic and Development Authority (hereafter referred to as “NEDA”) held a public-private partnership dialogue to share the rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts and the private sector’s initiatives, following the damage caused by Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng. Importance was also placed on measures against climate change and natural disasters at the time of the ex-post evaluation, which is stipulated in the Philippine Development Plan (hereafter referred to as “PDP”). Furthermore, this project is also consistent with the development needs of the country, considering that at the time of the ex-post evaluation the executing agency of this project, the Department of Public Works and Highways (hereafter referred to as “DPWH”), has embarked on an initiative for timely responses of restoration in the event of natural disasters destroying infrastructures essential to people’s livelihoods. Furthermore, the project is consistent with the assistance policy of the Japanese Government. Thus, relevance is high. Regarding efficiency, costs were economized as a result of competitive bidding for approximately half of the contracts for sub-projects disbursed under the special account procedure and it was possible to implement additional sub-projects.
