  • CHAPTER IV the JAPANESE INTERREGNUM, 1942-1945 A. The
    CHAPTER IV THE JAPANESE INTERREGNUM, 1942-1945 This chapter deals with the Japanese occupation of Koronadal Valley. An alien invading force would radically change the direction of developmental process in Koronadal Valley, particularly Buayan. From an envisioned agricultural settlement serving a major function for the Commonwealth government, Koronadal Valley was transformed into a local entity whose future direction would be determined by the people no longer in accordance with the objectives for which it was established but in accordance with the dynamics of growth in response to changing times. It is ironic that an event that was calamitous in itself would provide the libertarian condition to liberate Koronadal Valley from the limiting confines of Commonwealth Act No. 441. But more than structural change, the Japanese interlude put to test the new community. The sudden departure from the scene of the two titans of the community - General Paulino Santos and Mayor Abedin - raised the urgent need for the people left behind to take stock of themselves and respond to the difficult times sans the guiding hands of its leaders. A. The Southward Thrust of Japan to Mindanao To the people of the valley, the war was received with shock, fear and trepidation. It was like a thief in the night coming when everybody was unprepared. One settler recalled: “We were afraid when we heard over the radio that the Japanese are coming. We immediately evacuated and left behind our farms and animals. We hid in the mountains of Palkan, proceeding to Glamang and then to Kiamba. Our hunger drove us to dig sweet potatoes from the farms that we passed by.

  • Morphometric Analysis of Silway River Basin in Southern Mindanao, Philippines for Flood Risk Management a Supplementary of Flood Modeling
    MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SILWAY RIVER BASIN IN SOUTHERN MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES FOR FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT A SUPPLEMENTARY OF FLOOD MODELING Rose Ann I. Barro1 and George R. Puno2 1Research Associate, (CMU Phil-LiDAR 1) Project, College of Forestry and Environmental Science, Central Mindanao University, University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon 8710, Philippines Email: [email protected] 2Associate Professor, (CMU Phil-LiDAR 1) Project, College of Forestry and Environmental Science, Central Mindanao University, University Town, Musuan, Bukidnon 8710, Philippines Email: [email protected] KEY WORDS: morphometric, river basin, Silway River, disaster management, flood modeling ABSTRACT. Flood modeling studies in many countries today is not anymore new for the purpose of forecasting, early warning purposes and disaster management of the local government and other disaster agencies. However, with the limitation of the hydrologic data (rainfall and discharge data) for the flood simulation, morphometric information of the river is the auxiliary to understand the flood potential of the river basin. Silway River Basin in Mindanao, Philippines is one of the four major river basins that flows towards General Santos City before discharging into the Sarangani Bay with a drainage area of 63,758 hectares. Among the four major river basins, Silway River Basin poses a greatest risk to the communities downstream when it comes to flooding. Consuming the 10 meter resolution SAR-DEM, the drainage system of the river basin was delineated in ArcMap 10.1 with the aid of HEC-GeoHMS. Ratio values of elongation (0.90), form factor (0.63) and circularity (0.26) indicated of very low relief and oval in shape. Compact and ovoid shape results to high peak of discharge and runoff during high rainfall events.

In this regard, this bill seeks to establish the establishment of the Special Economic Zone and Freeport in the province of Sarangani. Lying at the southernmost tip of Mindanao Island, Sarangani is a province located in the South Cotabato-Cotabato-Sultan Kudarat-Sarangani-General Santos (SOCCSKSARGEN) region. It comprises the seven (7) municipalities of Alabel, Gian, Kiamba, Maasim, Maitum, Malapatan, and Malungon and has a total of 141 barangays with a population of over 544,261 as of 2015 Census of Population. Sarangani’s favorable investment climate is evidenced by a number of agro-industrial investments manifested by the presence of high value crop production, industrial crops and tree plantations of mango, banana, pineapple, and asparagus. The province’s aqua-marine sector is likewise flourishing with its abundant commercial fishponds, high value fin fishes production and processing, and deep sea fishing, accompanied by vibrant support services.
