SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper.

  • The Submission
    August 24, 2011 Professor Juan Méndez U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture c/o Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights United Nations Office at Geneva CH-1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Dear Professor Méndez: We represent Melissa Roxas, who was abducted in the Philippines in May 2009 and brutally tortured over a period of six days. Substantial evidence collected despite the military’s obstruction suggests the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) detained and tortured Ms. Roxas as part of its counterinsurgency campaign, which has been responsible for a staggering number of documented human rights abuses.1 To date, Ms. Roxas’s abductors have not been held accountable. In July 2009, Ms. Roxas returned to the Philippines to testify before the Court of Appeals and submitted an urgent appeal to then-Special Rapporteur Professor Manfred Nowak, to which the Philippine government has not responded. The Court of Appeals subsequently found that Ms. Roxas was in fact abducted, detained, and tortured,2 adding new urgency to Ms. Roxas’s efforts to hold her abductors accountable. In addition, President Benigno Aquino took office on June 1 Ms. Roxas’ experience, in which she was kidnapped and tortured by the AFP while performing human rights work, is not isolated. Rather, it typifies the pattern of abductions, forced disappearances, torture, extra-judicial killings, and other human rights violations committed under the presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arrroyo. Reports issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-Judicial Killings Philip Alston, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Karapatan have all concluded that the AFP has systematically carried out politically-motivated executions, abductions, torture and arrests against unarmed civilians and human rights activists like Ms.

This includes $18,000 in expenses and $110,000 in DoD labor. Generated on 2019June01 RefID: 0-1C9F36A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE he Indo-Pacific is the Department of Defense’s priority theater. The United States is a Pacific nation; we are linked to our Indo-Pacific neighbors through unbreakable bonds of shared history, culture, commerce, and T values. We have an enduring commitment to uphold a free and open Indo- Pacific in which all nations, large and small, are secure in their sovereignty and able to pursue economic growth consistent with accepted international rules, norms, and principles of fair competition. The continuity of our shared strategic vision is uninterrupted despite an increasingly complex security environment. Inter-state strategic competition, defined by geopolitical rivalry between free and repressive world order visions, is the primary concern for U.S. national security. In particular, the People’s Republic of China, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, seeks to reorder the region to its advantage by leveraging military modernization, influence operations, and predatory economics to coerce other nations. In contrast, the Department of Defense supports choices that promote long-term peace and prosperity for all in the Indo-Pacific. We will not accept policies or actions that threaten or undermine the rules-based international order – an order that benefits all nations.
