  • Mapping the Eco-Social Construct of Santa Rosa an Emerging City in a Watershed of Opportunities for Development
    Mapping the Eco-Social Construct of Santa Rosa An Emerging City in a Watershed of Opportunities for Development Nathaniel C. Bantayan1 Leah P. Dela Rosa2 Sylvia D. Clemente 2 Maria Magdalene P. Guevarra1 Kyle Pierre R. Israel1 1 Institute of Renewable Natural Resources, College of Forestry and Natural Resources University of the Philippines - Los Baños 2 College of Architecture University of Santo Tomas Abstract The years 1946 to 2020 saw the gradual dwindling of Santa Rosa City, Laguna’s agricultural land, from 96% to 15.4%. Meanwhile, the city’s urbanization catapulted to 84.5% by 2013 from just below 4% in 1946. Under the regional development plan of the Aquino Administration designating Region IV-A, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon (CALABARZON) as the industrial hub of the country, and driven by the increased access with the construction of the expressway in the 1980s, Santa Rosa City’s manufacturing industry rose from 746 in 1980 to 5,201 in 2013, a near 700% increase. Today, Santa Rosa City is at the heart of BANTAYAN, ET AL.: MAPPING THE ECO-SOCIAL UNITAS 326 the urbanization and industrialization, topping Metro Manila’s economic growth. The highest population density is concentrated at the shore areas of Laguna Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines. From an environmental perspective, this is an economic bubble waiting to burst, but the effect to the city’s environmental sustainability is dire: water abstrac- tion at its highest may lead to land subsidence, not to mention water scar- city, which the environmental effects lead to the increased pollution of its catchments, waterways, and the shoreline, and continuous land conversion particularly for housing are imperiling its array of ecosystem services.

    UP School of Economics Discussion Papers Discussion Paper No. 2021-02 July 2021 Don’t let a “good” crisis go to waste: One-upmanship in local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by Julian Thomas B.

Don’t let a “good” crisis go to waste: One-upmanship in local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic Julian Thomas B. Alvareza, Jahm Mae E. Guintoa,b, Joseph J. Capunob† aAsian Development Bank bUniversity of the Philippines Abstract Unlike in previous crises, the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought a crisis affecting all population groups, all economic sectors and all jurisdictions in the Philippines, as elsewhere. The impact of the COVID-19 vary across localities, however, partly due to differences in local government responses to the pandemic. Our objective is to examine the patterns in the types and timing of local responses among neighboring local government units (cities) for evidence of one- upmanship among their incumbent leaders (mayors). We assembled data for 25 selected cities and then grouped them into 28 neighborhood clusters. Using three indicators, we measure the immediacy, primacy and distinctiveness of the local responses within each cluster over the period March 2020-March 2021. Of the 28 clusters, we find in 19 (67.9 percent) evidence of one- upmanship consistent with the view that the type and timing of local responses are driven by mayors who wish to signal their talents and abilities.
