And yet, as I recall those fearful scenes across the trench, and see the ground strewn with silent brown forms, gaping with wounds, horrible in death, the victims of human cupid- ity and mistaken leadership, my heart softens with conflicting emotions. For I hear again the rattle of musketry, the rumble of cannon, the whir of bullets, and I remember that this is the final arbiter in the destinies of races, — the tie that binds us im- mutably to the barbaric past and points sig- nificantly to the unwritten future ; then sorrow displaces passion, despair tramples on sadness, S A NOTE ro THE READER 6 — sorrow for the victims of strife, despair of the signs of progress.

  • These Improvement Measures, However, Will Not Fundamentally Improve Future Traffic Congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS Proposes Two New Major Access Roads to Terminal 3
    MMUTIS Final Report These improvement measures, however, will not fundamentally improve future traffic congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS proposes two new major access roads to Terminal 3. The first proposal will provide a new interchange from the Skyway to Sales Road. The interchange has to shift slightly from the exact location of the Nichols Interchange, but contained on Sales Road as an elevated structure. This facility will connect Terminal 3 directly with the Skyway, which serves SLE near Magallanes Interchange and Pasay Road or Buendia Avenue over the Magallanes Interchange. The second proposal is an underground tunnel from C-5 South Section to Andrews Avenue to go under the main runway. Although it needs very sensitive construction technologies, it is a technically possible alternative. This facility will directly connect Terminal 3 with C-5, which serves Roxas Boulevard southbound and C-5 northbound. Table 10.18 Airport Access Improvement Projects Project Cost Project Name Length (P million) Tramo Road-Andrews Avenue Left-turning Flyover --- 120 Nichols Interchange Improvements --- 135 Alternative 1) Skyway New Airport Interchange 1.3 km 1,893 Alternative 2) Andrews Ave. Extension (underground link) 1.3 km 6,146 1) 2,148 Total 2) 6,400 Due to the cost, the better alternative would be the Skyway Interchange, while the second proposal can be for future consideration. 10.4 Proposed Public Transport Projects 1) MRT Integration This project intends to improve the integration of Lines 1 and 3 and a possible Line 6 at the Baclaran-Pasay Rotonda area. The current plan, which terminates Line 3 at Taft/EDSA Station at-grade, would create serious traffic problem in the area and restrict the opportunity to serve the reclamation area.

  • CHAPTER 1: the Envisioned City of Quezon
    CHAPTER 1: The Envisioned City of Quezon 1.1 THE ENVISIONED CITY OF QUEZON Quezon City was conceived in a vision of a man incomparable - the late President Manuel Luis Quezon – who dreamt of a central place that will house the country’s highest governing body and will provide low-cost and decent housing for the less privileged sector of the society. He envisioned the growth and development of a city where the common man can live with dignity “I dream of a capital city that, politically shall be the seat of the national government; aesthetically the showplace of the nation--- a place that thousands of people will come and visit as the epitome of culture and spirit of the country; socially a dignified concentration of human life, aspirations and endeavors and achievements; and economically as a productive, self-contained community.” --- President Manuel L. Quezon Equally inspired by this noble quest for a new metropolis, the National Assembly moved for the creation of this new city. The first bill was filed by Assemblyman Ramon P. Mitra with the new city proposed to be named as “Balintawak City”. The proposed name was later amended on the motion of Assemblymen Narciso Ramos and Eugenio Perez, both of Pangasinan to “Quezon City”. 1.2 THE CREATION OF QUEZON CITY On September 28, 1939 the National Assembly approved Bill No. 1206 as Commonwealth Act No. 502, otherwise known as the Charter of Quezon City. Signed by President Quezon on October 12, 1939, the law defined the boundaries of the city and gave it an area of 7,000 hectares carved out of the towns of Caloocan, San Juan, Marikina, Pasig, and Mandaluyong, all in Rizal Province.

  • Tayabas: the First Filipino City Beautiful Plan Ian Morley Department of History, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR; [email protected]
    The 18th International Planning History Society Conference - Yokohama, July 2018 Tayabas: The First Filipino City Beautiful Plan Ian Morley Department of History, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR; [email protected] The historiography of the City Beautiful in the Philippines has, in broad terms, been dominated by two American planners, Daniel Burnham and William E. Parsons. In some ways this is to be expected: both individuals were known to have strong personalities; Burnham’s monumental 1905 plans for Manila and Baguio were central to a new urban design paradigm being manufactured in the country, a planning model which replaced the Spanish colonial spatial model based in the Law of the Indies (1573); and, Parsons from 1906 to 1914 as Consulting Architect to the Philippine Commission propagated the City Beautiful via comprehensive city plans and grand civic centre projects. But where in the Philippine City Beautiful narrative do Filipino planners fit? To date their role in the city planning picture during the American colonial era has been, at best, portrayed as minimal. However, given the author’s recent uncovering of new planning works by Filipinos, e.g. in Tayabas and Iloilo Province, is it pertinent to ask if planning historiography needs to be revised? Keywords: City Beautiful, the Philippines, American Colonization, Filipino architects, nationhood. Introduction City planning was a fundamental component of American colonial governance in the Philippines. It was used from the early-1900s to help ‘uplift’ and ‘civilize’ local society, and to additionally aid the American regime to demonstrate to Filipinos that a different cultural and political era had begun: urban designing in this political- cultural framework was used to not only remodel cities’ built fabrics so that they could be ‘modern’, but to also turn life within them away from church-lined plazas dating from the Spanish colonial period (1565-1898).
