Magno Director, Robredo Institute of Governance, De La Salle University Integrated Water Resource Management (Magkakatugmang Pamamahala ng Ating Katubigan) “Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.” (Global Water Partnership, 2014) “Water governance is putting IWRM… into practice” (World Water Council 2003). “…We face a governance crisis, rather than a water crisis.” (World Water Council 2003).

No. 63.1' INTRODUCED BY THE HONORABLE MAR ROXAS A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE SENATE COMMITTEES ON ECONOMIC AFFAIRS, PUBLIC WORKS, AGRICULTURE, ENVIRONMENT, TOURISM AND ENERGY TO CONDUCT AN INQUIRY, IN AID OF LEGISLATION, ON THE ECONOMIC USE AND ALLOCATION OF WATER RESOURCES BETWEEN EQUALLY RELEVANT SECTORS BY PARTICULARLY LOOKING INTO THE ANGAT DAM WATER PROJECT WHEREAS, Section 1 of Article XI1 on National Economy and Patrimony of the Constitution expressly provides that the goals of the national economy are a more equitable distribution of opportunities, income and wealth; WHEREAS, Section 2 of Article XI1 on National Economy and Patrimony of the Constitution expressly provides, inter alia, that all waters of the Philippines belong to the State; WHEREAS, the legal framework which defines and sets out economic polices in the use of water resources are severely fragmented, spread across different government tiers and a number of national government agencies due to the enactment of several regulatory laws which includes notably, the MWSS Law, the Provincial Water Utilities Act, the Water Code of the Philippines, the NWRB Act, the Local Government Code, among others. WHEREAS, as a result of this fragmentation, there is lack of a clear, coherent policy and a rational regulative framework on the use and allocation of our country's scant water resources and reservoirs which have further exacerbated the debate among governmental and private institutions

  • Network Governance Towards Sustainable Tourism: Options for the Lower Angat River Basin, Bulacan Province, Philippines
    NETWORK GOVERNANCE TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE TOURISM: OPTIONS FOR THE LOWER ANGAT RIVER BASIN, BULACAN PROVINCE, PHILIPPINES by HSUAN-JU (ROSA) SHIH B.E.S., The University of Waterloo, 2011 A PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS (PLANNING) in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES School of Community and Regional Planning We accept this project as conforming to the required standard ...................................................... ..................................................... ..................................................... THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2013 © Hsuan-Ju (Rosa) Shih, 2013 ABSTRACT Tourism is regarded as one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world, with visitor arrivals exceeding the one billion mark for the first time in 2012. The impacts of rapid tourism development, particularly in the developing world, are well documented. Since the 1970s, studies began to critically study the negative costs of tourism on the socio-cultural and biophysical environments on which it depends. These criticisms have led to the integration of sustainability approaches in tourism planning and development. In the past decade, there has been growing interest in the study of governance as a key component of sustainable tourism development. This professional project explores the potential implications of collaborative network governance to tourism development in the case study province of Bulacan in Central Luzon, Philippines. Among the tourism research that has emerged in recent decades, collaborative network governance is seen as a means to ameliorate the fragmented nature of tourism development and provide a structure for problem solving through the understanding of common goals and interests towards sustainable tourism. This preliminary study of Bulacan Province is based on a review of network governance typologies and collaborative governance as defined by Ansell and Gash (2008).

  • Determination of Lead Concentration of the Waters in the Angat River Network in Bustos, Bulacan
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG ISSN: 0974-4290 Vol.7, No.4, pp 1895-1901, 2014-2015 Determination of Lead Concentration of the Waters in the Angat River Network in Bustos, Bulacan Edwin A. Estrella1, Marlyn S. De Leon1, Editha N.De Regla1, Butch Stephen C. Duay1 and Edric D A.Estrella2 1Bulacan State University Bustos Campus, Philippines 2University of the Philippines, Philippines Abstract: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional analysis of the concentration of lead of the waters in the Angat River Network in Bustos, Bulacan. Through the use of Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, it was established that the overall mean Lead concentration in the river is found to be 0.3037 ppm (mean standard error of 0.0018). The World Health Organization in 2010 set the legal limit for lead at 0.01 ppm. The river water is 30 times higher than the legal limit. Furthermore, results of the one-way ANOVA revealed that the mean Lead concentrations significantly differ across the different barangay sampling location with a p-value of <0.0001. However, the mean Lead concentrations of water samples stratified according to levels of water sampling and river points where the samplings were done are almost the same. Key Words lead concentration, river waters, FAAS andANOVA. Introduction Industrialization has brought forth so much progress, convenience and satisfaction to human lives. Factories and machines that were conceived unimaginable in the past have already taken form and reality in the present, and are sure to prosper even more in the future. Consequently, no one would dare put a halt to such an amenity in the modern world, lest doing such would cut short all the innovations and breakthroughs.

PROJ ECT DESCRIPTION Background Information In the modern Philippine ecosystem, kaingin-making or shifting cultivation has been viewed as a social problem with land use over- tones and has been pinpointed as a major factor/problem in sound , forest management. The Ministry of Natural Resources conducted a series of studies on this with thesnd in view of utilizing the results to achieve a workable forest management scheme. Through the Bureau of Forest Development (BFD), the ministry formulated and piloted the implementation of the Forest Occupancy (Kaingin) Management (FOM) program in 1975. In Central Luzon, the pilot project on Kaingin management is being implemented within the Angat Watershed Reservation, specifically in Barangay Kabayunan, in the newly-created municipality of Dofia Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan. The inception of the Forest Oqcupancy Management Program was on 19 May 1975 when President Marcos issued Presidential Decree No. 705. This decree, as amended by PD No. 1559, states that "kaingeros, squatters, cultural minorities and other occupants who entered the forest lands before May 19, 1975 without permit or authority shall not be prosecuted; Provided, that they do not increase their clearings; Provided further, that they undertake the activities imposed upon them by the BFD in accordance with a management plan calculated to conserve and protect
