POVERTY AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY Poverty targeting: General intervention A. Links to the National Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth Strategy and Country Partnership Strategy The project objectives support the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), 2017–2022,a which targets reducing poverty incidence from 21.6% in 2015 to 14.0% by 2022, or by about 6 million people. Among the targets under the strategic framework of the PDP, 2017–2022 are that (i) growth will be more inclusive, as manifested by a lower poverty incidence in rural areas, from 30% in 2015 to 20% in 2022; and (ii) the unemployment rate will decline from the current 5.6% (2017) to 3%–5% in 2022. The PDP notes that infrastructure undergirds a country’s socioeconomic development, the more strategically distributed it is—both by sectoral and spatially—the better it is for inclusive growth and sustainable development. A principal objective of Asian Development Bank (ADB) support for the Philippines is to help in the achievement of high, inclusive, and sustainable growth. Support for infrastructure development, including transport, forms a core part of ADB’s operational strategy for the country. B.

Historically, the river was used to be a good route for transportation and an important source of water for the old Spanish Manila. However, the river is now very polluted due to human negligence and industrial development, and biologists consider it unable to sustain aquatic life. Many researchers have conducted studies on the Pasig River, unfortunately, no considerable progress from the point of view of purification process have succeeded. Hence, in this study, the use of fine-bubble technology for the purification of the polluted sludge from the said river is being explored. The critical point in using this technique is on the activation of the bacteria existing in the area using fine bubbles. The sludge is decomposed and purified by activating the aerobic bacteria after creating an aerobic state.

Region III, also known as the reconfigured Central Luzon Region due to the inclusion of the province of Aurora, has the largest contiguous lowland area in the country. Its total land area of 1.8 million hectares is 6.1 percent of the total land area in the country. Of all the regions in the country, it is closest to Metro Manila. The southern part of the sphere is bound by the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, all of which comprise Region IV-A, also known as CALABARZON. 7.1.1 Geomorphological Units The prevailing landforms in Central Luzon can be described as a large basin surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides. On its northern boundary, the Caraballo and Sierra Madre mountain ranges separate it from the provinces of Pangasinan and Nueva Vizcaya. In the eastern section, the Sierra Madre mountain range traverses the length of Aurora, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan. The Zambales mountains separates the central plains from the urban areas of Zambales at the western side. The region’s major drainage networks discharge to Lingayen Gulf in the northwest, Manila Bay in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the China Sea in the west.

    Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION The Philippines, through RBCO-DENR had defined 20 major river basins spread all over the country. These basins are defined as major because of their importance, serving as lifeblood and driver of the economy of communities inside and outside the basins. One of these river basins is the Marikina River Basin (Figure 1). Figure 1 Marikina River Basin Map 1 | P a g e Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Marikina River Basin is currently not in its best of condition. Just like other river basins of the Philippines, MRB is faced with problems. These include: a) rapid urban development and rapid increase in population and the consequent excessive and indiscriminate discharge of pollutants and wastes which are; b) Improper land use management and increase in conflicts over land uses and allocation; c) Rapidly depleting water resources and consequent conflicts over water use and allocation; and e) lack of capacity and resources of stakeholders and responsible organizations to pursue appropriate developmental solutions. The consequence of the confluence of the above problems is the decline in the ability of the river basin to provide the goods and services it should ideally provide if it were in desirable state or condition. This is further specifically manifested in its lack of ability to provide the service of preventing or reducing floods in the lower catchments of the basin. There is rising trend in occurrence of floods, water pollution and water induced disasters within and in the lower catchments of the basin.

Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country.

The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness analysis. By identifying important hubs in a road network, possible preparation schemes may be done earlier to mitigate random terrorist attacks, including defense reinforcement and transportation security. A case study of the Metro Manila road network is also presented. The case study shows that the most important hubs in the Metro Manila road network are near airports, piers, major highways and expressways. Keywords: PageRank, Terrorist Attack, Robustness 1.
