1 Introduction
Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION The Philippines, through RBCO-DENR had defined 20 major river basins spread all over the country. These basins are defined as major because of their importance, serving as lifeblood and driver of the economy of communities inside and outside the basins. One of these river basins is the Marikina River Basin (Figure 1). Figure 1 Marikina River Basin Map 1 | P a g e Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Marikina River Basin is currently not in its best of condition. Just like other river basins of the Philippines, MRB is faced with problems. These include: a) rapid urban development and rapid increase in population and the consequent excessive and indiscriminate discharge of pollutants and wastes which are; b) Improper land use management and increase in conflicts over land uses and allocation; c) Rapidly depleting water resources and consequent conflicts over water use and allocation; and e) lack of capacity and resources of stakeholders and responsible organizations to pursue appropriate developmental solutions. The consequence of the confluence of the above problems is the decline in the ability of the river basin to provide the goods and services it should ideally provide if it were in desirable state or condition. This is further specifically manifested in its lack of ability to provide the service of preventing or reducing floods in the lower catchments of the basin. There is rising trend in occurrence of floods, water pollution and water induced disasters within and in the lower catchments of the basin. -

Laguna Lake, the Philippines: Industrial Contamination Hotspots
Laguna Lake, The Philippines: industrial contamination hotspots Iryna Labunska, Kevin Brigden, Paul Johnston Greenpeace Research Laboratories Technical Note 06/2011 June 2011 1. Introduction Contamination of natural water resources by discharges from the industrial sector in the Philippines continues to be a significant problem. In 2007, Greenpeace launched the Water Patrol to document the impact of water pollution on local communities in the Philippines. Within the framework of this project, several industrial sites located around Laguna Lake were visited in July 2010. During these visits, samples of wastewater discharges into creeks and tributaries of Laguna Lake and corresponding sediment or soil samples were collected. The sites which were chosen for investigation in this study were those accommodating potentially polluting facilities in the area. The selection of the facilities was based on the following criteria: facility operations were thought to involve the use of toxic chemicals; the facility discharged wastewater directly into Laguna Lake or one of its tributaries; in some cases, the facility had been previously identified by government agencies as a polluting industry and listed in the black or red lists by the Laguna Lake Development Authority or the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Four facilities located to the south-east of Laguna Lake were targeted in the current study: Mayer Textile; Philippine Industrial Sealants and Coatings Corporation (PIS); TNC Chemicals; Carmelray 1 Industrial Park. Wastewater is discharged from these facilities into the San Juan River and the San Cristobal River. Two other target facilities were located to the north of Laguna Lake - Hansson Papers and Litton Mills. -
Urbanization and Related Environmental Issues Of
Journal of Advanced College of Engineering and Management, Vol. 3, 2017 URBANIZATION AND RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES OF METRO MANILA Ram Krishna Regmi Environment and Resource Management Consultant, Kathmandu, Nepal Email Address: [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Due to rapid urbanization, Metro Manila is facing many environmental challenges with its continuous accelerating urban growth rate. According to 2010 census of population Metro Manila accounts about one-third of the total urban population and about 13% of the total national population of Philippines.The impact of urban growth of the Metro Manila to its urban environment relating on demography, solid wastes problem and problems in water bodies as well as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissionis emphasized here in this study.The flood prone areas within the Metro Manila is about 31%, most of the risk areas located along creeks, river banks or coastal areas.Metro Manila produces total garbage equivalent to 25% of the national waste generation in which about 17% is paper wastes and about 16% are plastics. In terms of water quality classification the upper reaches of the Marikina River is of Class A, but all remaining river systems are of Class C. Accordingly, the classification of Manila Bay is of Class SB. Similarly, the quality of ambient air of the Metro Manila is also poor. Using 2010 as base year, the major contributor to greenhouse gas is from vehicular emissions followed by the stationary sources. An urgent need is felt to incorporate environmental issues into planning its urban area to reduce the risks of further environmental degradation.

Using examples from selected BOT projects in the country, the paper pointed out key issues constraining the successful implementation of the BOT approach to infrastructure provision. It also indicated several factors that were instrumental in forging an effective public- private partnership in BOT projects. -
Flood Disaster Mitigation and River Rehabilitation by Marikina City, Philippines
Governance Philippines Program for Hydro-meteorological Disaster Mitigation in Secondary Cities in Asia 22 Flood Disaster Mitigation and River Rehabilitation by Marikina City, Philippines In the 19th century, the Marikina riverbanks were Marikina town’s picnic ground and site of religious town celebrations called fiestas. By the 1970s, the river was all filth and stench. Uncontrolled encroachment on the riverbanks by informal settlers, structures within the river, plus the indiscriminate disposal of both domestic and industrial wastes worsened the impacts of the annual river flooding events. The ‘Save the Marikina River’ Program was begun in 1993 to revive the river and its environs, and develop the waterway into the city’s biggest recreational and sports area. While the main objective was to rehabilitate the river, the program actually started from the idea of mitigating the annual flooding to ultimately contribute to river rehabilitation objectives. Introduction Marikina City lies within Marikina Valley and is bounded by Quezon City and the Marikina river on the west, Pasig City and Cainta to the south, Antipolo City in the east, and by San Mateo to the north. The city has an estimated population of 490,612 for 2008, and its major industry is shoemaking.1 Marikina river is the major waterway in the city; it flows through the center of Marikina Valley between Capitol Hills Marikina City: Location and Figure 1 and the Sierra Madre Boundaries mountain range. It also flows alongside the Valley Fault Line, Abstract and so Marikina faces riverine flooding, Urban riverine flooding can be earthquakes from the worsened by local urban processes fault, and liquefaction and activities that cause river flow along the Marikina obstruction and pollution. -

Background 1.1 General In and around Metro Manila, there are five operational airports; namely Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), Clark International Airport (CRK), Plaridel Airport, Sangley Point Air Base (SANGLEY) and Subic International Airport. NAIA is located approx. 10 km from the business center of Metro Manila, and is a gateway airport in the Philippines. NAIA handled approx. 34 million passengers consisting of 18 million domestic and 16 million international passengers in 2014. Also NAIA handled approx. 266 thousand aircraft movements consisting of 143 thousand domestic and 94 thousand international flights. CRK is located approx. 90 km to the northwest from the center of Metro Manila in the province of Pampanga. CRK handled 1.5 million passengers per annum in 2012, however, currently is handling less than 1 million passengers per annum, due to the fact that Emirate and Air Asia stopped their operations in CRK. As for the aircraft movements, CRK handled 26 thousand aircraft movements consisting of 1 thousand domestic and 6 thousand international flights and 20 thousand of general aviation in 2014. Plaridel airport is serving mainly general aviation, located in the province of Bulacan and approx.
