Background The Province of Southern Leyte is one of the top 10 highly disaster-prone provinces in the country, and this has slowed down the economic development of the province. In 1990–1998, the province was among the top 20 poorest provinces in the Philippines. Although it has grown progressively in recent years and is no longer among the poorest since 2000, the recent landslide disaster in February 2006, which was the worst in the recent decade, caused immediate damage worth P168.9 million (about $3.28 million) and could very well revert the province back to its old state. Damage to property and infrastructure as a result of the area-specific landslides that hit Southern Leyte in the first quarter of 2006 was far-reaching. Although the major hit was in Barangay Guinsaugon of St. Bernard, where the worst “rockslide debris avalanche” buried about 1,112 residents in mud 30–40 meters high, other municipalities in Southern Leyte, i.e., San Francisco, Liloan, Sogod, San Ricardo, Bontoc, Malitbog, Hinunangan, and Maasin were also affected. Among the effects of the landslides, the most critical are the foillowing: (i) About 5,702 families need to be evacuated or relocated due to the presence of highly visible cracks on their land and houses; (ii) 35 kilometers of roads (provincial, municipal, and barangay roads) are damaged, making the road network impassable to traffic; (iii) 6,322 individuals that need medical attention cannot be accommodated in the provincial hospital and district hospitals

  • Determining Competitive Advantage of Communities in a Rural Setting
    Journal of Educational and Human Resource Development 6:227-237(2018) Southern Leyte State University, Sogod, Southern Leyte, Philippines Determining Competitive Advantage of Communities in a Rural Setting Constantino G. Medilo Jr.* Frederick C. Aniga College of Teacher Education Southern Leyte State University Tomas Oppus, Southern Leyte, Philippines Abstract This study provided a framework for determining the competitive advantage of the communities in the rural areas using principal component analysis. The profiles of the municipalities in the province of Southern Leyte, Philippines were analyzed, and principal components identified. The data included density, total land area, revenue classification, number of literate residents, number of gainful workers, average household size, number of residents with academic degrees, number of hazards present and the rate of population increase. The results identified four indices as factors of competitive advantage, which included the general demographic index, crowding index, family size index, and hazard exposure. This paper concluded that competitive edge in rural areas is a function of general demographic factors, crowding, family size, and exposure to hazard. Demographic and geographical factors are vital to improving the competitive advantage of municipalities in the rural setting. Attaining competitive advantage in the rural environment means municipalities must have robust performance in literacy, population, the productivity of its citizens. Those municipalities should likewise perform well in controlling crowding and at the same time have the ability to mitigate the possible effects of natural hazards. The focus of determining competitive advantage away from economic indicators provides opportunities for looking at how communities in the rural see what they define as success.

The Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia was established in May 1993 to support training and research in environmental and resource economics. Its goal is to strengthen local capacity in the economic analysis of environmental problems so that researchers can provide sound advice to policy-makers. The program uses a networking approach to provide financial support, meetings, resource persons, access to literature, publication avenues, and opportunities for comparative research across its nine member countries. These are Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, China, and Papua New Guinea. EEPSEA’s structure consists of a Sponsors Group, comprising all donors contributing at least USD 100,000 per year, an Advisory Committee of senior scholars and policy- makers, and a secretariat in Singapore. EEPSEA is a project administered by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) on behalf of the Sponsors Group. EEPSEA TECHNICAL REPORTS EEPSEA Technical Reports include studies that are either too academic and/or technical for wider circulation. It also includes research work that are based on short-term inquiries on specific topics (e.g. case studies) and those that are already published as part of EEPSEA special publications (e.g. books).
