    World Chambers Competition Best job creation and business development project Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry The Philippines FINALIST I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (NOCCI), being the only recognized voice of business in the Province of Negros Oriental, Philippines, developed the TIP PROJECT or the TRADE TOURISM and INVESTMENT PROMOTION ("TIP" for short) PROJECT to support its mission in conducting trade, tourism and investment promotion, business development activities and enhancement of the business environment of the Province of Negros Oriental. The TIP Project was conceptualized during the last quarter of 2013 and was launched in January, 2014 as the banner project of the Chamber to support its new advocacy for inclusive growth and local economic development through job creation and investment promotion. The banner project was coined from the word “tip” - which means giving sound business advice or sharing relevant information and expertise to all investors, businessmen, local government officials and development partners. The TIP Project was also conceptualized to highlight the significant role and contribution of NOCCI as a champion for local economic development and as a banner project of the Chamber to celebrate its Silver 25th Anniversary by December, 2016. For two years, from January, 2015 to December, 2016, NOCCI worked closely with its various partners in local economic development like the Provincial Government, Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), Non- Government Organizations (NGOs), Industry Associations and international funding agencies in implementing its various job creation programs and investment promotion activities to market Negros Oriental as an ideal investment/business destination for tourism, retirement, retail, business process outsourcing, power/energy and agro-industrial projects.

  • Birds from Canlaon Volcano in the Highlands of Negros Island in the Philippines
    July, 1956 283 BIRDS FROM CANLAON VOLCANO IN THE HIGHLANDS OF NEGROS ISLAND IN THE PHILIPPINES By S. DILLON RIPLEY and D. S. RABOR Several ornithological collectors have worked on Negros Island, which is the fourth largest of the 7090 islands that form the Philippine Archipelago. However, John White- head, the famous English naturalist, was the only person who collected extensively in the highlands of this island. Whitehead worked on the slopes of Canlaon Volcano, in the north-central section in March and April, 1896. Since that time no other collector has visited this volcano until April and May, 1953, when one of us, Rabor, collected in prac- tically the same places in which Whitehead worked. This study of the birds of the high- lands of Negros Island was carried on chiefly through the aid of the Peabody Museum of Natural History of Yale University. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY OF THE COLLECTING LOCALITIES The principal central mountain chain traverses Negros Island from its northeast corner south to the southern end. This range lies closer to the east side than to the west and forms a divide throughout the extent of the island. A dormant volcano, Canlaon, with an elevation of about 8200 feet, is the most prominent peak in the north-central section of the mountain chain, and it is easily the dominant landmark of the western coastal plain. Many of the mountains of Negros Island are volcanic (Smith, 1924). The north- western region, where most of the sugar cane is grown, is mainly of volcanic origin, whereas the southeastern portion consists of folded and faulted plutonic rocks, slates, and jaspers, probably of Mesozoic Age, and some Tertiary extrusives, all more or less dissected and worn down by erosion.

Espiridion PNOC Energy Development Corporation, Merritt Road, Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila 1201, Philippines [email protected] Commission IV, WG IV/7 KEYWORDS: Airborne SAR, Topographic SAR, Polarimetric SAR, DEM, aerial photography, high resolution, hillshading ABSTRACT: A remote sensing study of the Northern Negros Geothermal Project (NNGP) was conducted using Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) AND JERS-1 SAR images. A digital elevation model (DEM) was generated from the topographic SAR (TOPSAR) data sets where various hillshading maps were extracted to emphasize the general geology and the structural configuration of the study area. Due to the high resolution of the imagery, geologic mapping interpretations were done to refine the traditional and existing aerial photography interpretations including the volcanic history and its implication to the project. The over-all result of this study have dealt with (1) the delineation of the semi-detailed geology at NNGP, thereby, giving way to the reinterpretation of the volcanic history of Canlaon volcano; (2) refinement of the structural map of Panem and Leynes (1996) with the establishment of chronological order of fault events where NW, WNW and ENE

  • Risk Assessment and Mapping for Canlaon Volcano, Philippines
    RISK ASSESSMENT AND MAPPING FOR CANLAON VOLCANO, PHILIPPINES Rowena B. Quiambao Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), C. P. Garcia Street, University of the Philippines Campus, Diliman, Quezon City, PHILIPPINES 1101 - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Hazards, Risk, Mapping, Volcanoes, Disaster, GIS, Spatial, Method ABSTRACT: Risk assessment and mapping for Canlaon Volcano, Philippines is reported in this paper. Volcanic hazards in Canlaon Volcano affect the lives and properties within the vicinity. Thus, risk is present as a result of the relationship between the hazards and the human and non-human elements. The volcanic hazards considered were pyroclastic flow, lava flow and lahar. The risk of these hazards to two main factors was investigated, namely, to lives and to infrastructure and/or utility. Using the risk equation from the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability), actual computation of the risk values was made. The parameters in the equation were given numerical values. Numerical values for each hazard were assigned using the descriptive category of high, medium and low. The vulnerability parameter was given numerical values from the socio-economic data according to the presence, or absence, of population and infrastructure/utility factors. Having numerical values assigned to them, the hazard and vulnerability factors could then be multiplied to obtain the risk values. The ranking of the areas according to the hazard and vulnerability parameters was used to map out the volcanic risks for Canlaon Volcano. A total of 12 risk maps were produced covering up to the municipal and city level of mapping: one map for each of the two factors (lives; infrastructure and/or utility) and a combination of the two with respect to 1) each one of the volcanic hazards considered; and 2) the combination of all the three hazards.

  • Application of Airsar Data Set As a Tool for Volcanic Hazards Mapping -Summary of Processing Done to Canlaon Airsar Image Using Envi Rowena B
    APPLICATION OF AIRSAR DATA SET AS A TOOL FOR VOLCANIC HAZARDS MAPPING -SUMMARY OF PROCESSING DONE TO CANLAON AIRSAR IMAGE USING ENVI ROWENA B. QUIAMBAO Philippine Institute of Volcanology & Seismology (PHIVOLCS) Manila, Philippines ABSTRACT Volcanic hazards are one of the incessant disasters plaguing the Philippines. Being located in a seismic- and volcanic-belt, the Philippines has its more than enough share of related disasters. This paper is a preliminary report on the hazard mapping of Canlaon Volcano, a project handled by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) under the Philippines-NASA AIRSAR Program. In particular, this report is the initial one made on the image processing aspect of the project using the software ENVI. This paper discusses a background on the study area, the processing done so far with the AIRSAR image strips of Canlaon Volcano, the initial results obtained, and the future work for the immediate completion of the project. It is emphasized that the processing done to a part of the entire set of images covering the Canlaon area will be towards the development of a procedure to be implemented later. It is envisioned that the utilization of the AIRSAR data sets will be maximized as applied to volcanic hazards mapping. I. Brief Background On The Study Area Canlaon Volcano, a strato-volcano, is situated in the north central portion of Negros Island, Philippines, with the geographic location of 10° 24.7ÕN and 123° 7.9Õ E and peak elevation from sea level of 2465 meters. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) maintains three Volcano Observatory Stations around and within the vicinity of Canlaon Volcano.
