The Great History
CAPAS The Great History Created in 1710, Capas is among the oldest towns of Tarlac together with Bamban (1710), Paniqui (1574) and Tarlac (1686). Its creation was justified by numerous settlements which were already established in the river banks of Cutcut River since the advent of the eighteenth century. The settlements belonged to the domain of Pagbatuan and Gudya; two sitios united by Capitan Mariano Capiendo when he founded the municipality. Historical records suggest three versions on how Capas got its name. The first version, as told, was originated from capas-capas, the “edible flower” similar to that of the caturay or the melaguas that abundantly grew along the Cutcut river banks. The second version, accordingly, was adapted from a “cotton tree” called capas, in Aeta dialect. The third version suggested that it was derived from the first three letters of the surnames of the town’s early settlers, namely: Capitulo, Capitly, Capiendo, Capuno, Caponga, Capingian, Caparas, Capera, Capunpue, Capit, Capil, Capunfuerza, Capunpun, Caputol, Capul and Capan. Assertively, they were called “caps” or “capas” in the local language. Between 1946-1951, registered barangays of Capas were Lawy, O’Donnell, Aranguren, Sto. Domingo, Talaga, Sta. Lucia, Bueno, Sta. Juliana, Sampucao, Calingcuan, Dolores and Manga, which were the 12 barrios during Late President Elpidio Quirino issued the Executive Order No. 486 providing “for the collection and compilation of historical data regarding barrios, towns, cities and provinces.” Today, Capas constitutes 20 barangays including all 12 except Calingcuan was changed to Estrada, Sampucao to Maruglu, Sto. Domingo was divided in two and barangays such as Sta.

Republic of the Philippines Province of Tarlac MUNICIPALITY OF BAMBAN Municipality Municipality of Bamban l Citizen’s Charter l http://www.bambantarlac.gov.ph Page 1 MESSAGE Through the years, the Municipal Government of Bamban is continuing with its thrust of providing for the general welfare of its people. With the enactment of Republic Act 9485, otherwise known as the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007, LGUs are mandated to ensure a competent, efficient and quality service delivery anchored on transparency and accountability. After a series of trainings and seminars involving all LGU Employees, the Municipal Government revised its Citizen’s Charter, a guidebook providing details of functions on the frontline services of the local government unit. This year, the LGU of Bamban made important inputs in its Citizen’s Charter highlighting the way the frontline services are presented: the step-by-step procedure for availing each service, the response or transaction time for its delivery, the required fees, and the municipal officers and personnel responsible for the services. Supplemental to this information is the list of requirements a client must comply with to facilitate service delivery. May this Citizen’s Charter serve as a development tool in the promotion of good governance and responsive public service. Further, the municipal government desires that the Citizen’s Charter will empower our constituency and open opportunities for greater people’s participation on service improvements. JOSE ANTONIO T. FELICIANO Municipal Mayor Municipality Municipality of Bamban l Citizen’s Charter l http://www.bambantarlac.gov.ph Page 2 INTRODUCTION Republic Act No. 9485, otherwise known as the Anti-Red Tape Act of2007, took effect on September 5, 2008 following the issuance of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) by the Civil Service Commission.

Summary Report
SUMMARY REPORT RESULT OF THE MGB GEOHAZARD ASSESSMENT COVERING THE EIGHTEEN (18) MUNICIPALITIES/CITY IN THE PROVINCE OF TARLAC In line with the Presidential Directive and NDCC resolutions following the February 17 Southern Leyte landslide incident, and the need to fast track the geohazard mapping program along the eastern seaboard of the Philippines, geologists from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Regional Office III (MGB-R3) conducted a geohazard assessment of the barangays in the municipalities/city n the province of Tarlac. Each barangay was classified according to their susceptibility to landslide and/or flooding. For landslide susceptibility, the rating parameters are as follows: High • Presence of active and/ or recent landslides • Presence of numerous and large tension cracks along slope adjacent to the community and that would directly affect the community • Areas with drainages that are prone to landslides damming • Steep/Unstable slopes consisting of loose materials Moderate • Areas with indicative and/or old landslides • Presence of small tension cracks along slope and are located away from the community • Moderate slopes 1 Low • Low to gently sloping • No presence of tension cracks Each barangay was rated into low, moderate or high for flooding susceptibility with the rating parameters as follows: Low • 0 – 0.5 meter depth of floodwaters Moderate • 0.51 – 1 meter depth of floodwaters High • > 1 meter depth of floodwaters With regards to landslide susceptibility, the barangays assessed include areas that are located on and/or near slopes and riverbanks and have the potential for landslide occurrence. The rating of each barangay presented herein particularly refers to the barangay proper since majority of the population is located there.

Scad Corridor Conceptual Land Use Plan
SCAD CORRIDOR CONCEPTUAL LAND USE PLAN FINAL REPORT JUNE 2009 SUBIC-CLARK ALLIANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (SCADC) SCAD Corridor Conceptual Land Use Plan (SCoLUP) Final SCoLUP Report June 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Keenly aware of the pressing need to capitalize on emerging local and international opportunities, the Subic-Clark Alliance for Development Council (the “SCADC“) embarked in late September 2008 on a framework and concept-level land use planning study for the 98,020-hectares (has.) SCAD Corridor (the “Corridor”) i.e. the SCAD Corridor Conceptual Land Use Plan (the “SCoLUP”). The Corridor is an approximately ten kilometer (10.0 km) wide swath with the Subic-Clark- Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) at its center line. It runs the entire length of the SCTEx and is comprised of productive/ non-productive agricultural lands, minor forests and built-up areas. While the planning horizon considered is 25 years (2009-2033), the concept-level SCoLUP is intended to be dynamic and flexible enough to be modified as changes come about over the next several decades. 1. The Development Framework Z Development Plans Influencing the SCAD Corridor include: a) the Enhanced “W” Growth Corridor strategy for Central Luzon; b) Provincial Physical Framework Plans (“PPFPs”) of the 4 Corridor provinces; and c) Luzon Urban Beltway infrastructure projects; Z Applicable Development Concepts considered to transform the Corridor into a hub: a) expressways and high-speed motorways that improve access, stimulate commerce; b) supply chain management and logistics hubs, citing successful Asian models; c) Smart Growth with compact, self-contained settlements that avoid urban sprawl, preserve green areas and promote accessibility thru mass transport systems; and d) Green Corridors that define, preserve and sustain natural environments.

The 19991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruption and the Aetus of the Phillip
5 International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters March 2006, Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 5-43 Traditional Societies in the Face of Natural Hazards: The 1991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruption and the Aetas of the Philippines Jean-Christophe Gaillard Laboratoire Territoires, UMR PACTE 5194 CNRS Institut de Géographie Alpine 14 bis, avenue Marie Reynoard 38100 Grenoble France [email protected] This article explores the response of traditional societies in the face of natural hazards through the lens of the concept of resilience. Resilient societies are those able to overcome the damages brought by the occurrence of natural hazards, either through maintaining their pre-disaster social fabric, or through accepting marginal or larger change in order to survive. Citing the case of the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines and its impact on the Aeta communities who have been living on the slopes of the volcano for centuries, it suggests that the capacity of resilience of traditional societies and the concurrent degree of cultural change rely on four factors, namely: the nature of the hazard, the pre-disaster socio- cultural context and capacity of resilience of the community, the geographical setting, and the rehabilitation policy set up by the authorities. These factors signiﬁcantly vary in time and space, from one disaster to another. It is important to perceive their local variations to better anticipate the capability of traditional societies to overcome the damage brought by the occurrence of natural hazards and therefore predict eventual cultural change. 5 6 International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters Introduction Natural hazards are those natural phenomena that pose a threat to people, structures and economic assets.
