Ambulant vendors Ambulant vendors are either itinerant or semi-static. Itinerant vendors are those who go around shouting their wares while semi-static ones are those who are semi-fixed positions but may move about as the situation necessitates (Nario, Jasmin Galace, 2000). Compensation Payment in cash or in kind (e.g. land-for-land) to replace losses of land, housing, income and other assets caused by the Project. All compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost, which is the method of valuing assets to replace the loss at current market value, and any transaction costs such as administrative charges, taxes, registration and titling costs. In the absence of functioning markets, a compensation structure is required that enables affected people to restore their livelihoods to level at least equivalent to those maintained at the time of dispossession, displacement, or restricted access. Cut-off date Cut-off date for land-taking will be set on the first day of census undertaken as part of the of RP preparation after both the project approval by the IA and Detailed Engineering Design. Persons not covered at the time of census-taking will not be eligible for claims of compensation entitlements. Displaced Persons In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons (DPs) are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas (ADB IR Source Book, 2012). Donation Donation is an act of liberality whereby a person disposes gratuitously of a thing or right of another, who accepts it. [Art 725, New Civil Code (NCC)] Economic Loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or displacement means of livelihoods as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. Eligibility Refers to any person who has settled in the subproject area before the cut-off date that suffers from (i) loss of shelter, (ii) loss of assets (land, space above and below the surface of the land, buildings, plant, and objects related to the land) and/or or ability to access such assets, permanently or temporarily, or (iii) other losses that can be appraised. such as transaction costs, interest, on loss of residual land, loss of income sources or livelihood regardless of relocation, profession shift, and other types of loss stated by the assignor, will be entitled to compensation and/or assistance). iv Entitlement A range of measures comprising compensation, livelihood restoration support, transfer assistance, income substitution, relocation support, etc. which are due to the AHs, depending on the type and severity of their losses, to restore their economic and social base. Expropriation The power of eminent domain is an inherent and indispensable power of the State. Also called the power of expropriation, it is described as the highest and most exact idea of property remaining in the government that may be acquired for some public purpose through a method a compulsory sale to the State. Expropriation is the least favorable mode of acquisition for public usage of land as it is based on active compulsory dispossession of private citizens of their significant asset. It represents and should be the last resort. Expropriation is mandated if a negotiated sale is not feasible. Livelihood restoration This involves re-establishing productive livelihood of the displaced persons to enable income generation equal to or, if possible, better than that earned by the displaced persons before the resettlement (ADB IR Source Book, 2012). Inconvenience It is the compensation amount given to each AP who are allowance classified as any of the following vulnerable groups: poor (based on the poverty income threshold), elderly and single women-headed households, and persons with disabilities. Inventory of loss The listing of assets as a preliminary record of affected or lost assets during the preparation of the RP where all fixed assets (i.e., land used for residence, commerce, agriculture; dwelling units; stalls and shops; secondary structures, such as fences, tombs, wells; standing crops and trees with commercial value; etc.) and sources of income and livelihood inside the Subproject boundaries are identified, measured, their owners identified, their exact location pinpointed, and their replacement costs calculated. The severity of impact on the affected assets and the severity of impact on the livelihood and productive capacity of the APs are likewise determined. Involuntary Refers to physical and economic displacement as a result of (i) resettlement involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. Such displacement can be full or partial, permanent or temporary. When the displaced persons have no right to refuse the land acquisition by the state that result in their displacement. This occurs when land is acquired through (i) expropriation by invoking the eminent domain power of the state, or (ii) land is acquired through negotiated settlement when the pricing is negotiated in a process where expropriation will be the consequence of a failure in the negotiation. (ADB IR Source Book, 2012) v Land acquisition It is the process of acquiring land from the current owners pursuant to the provisions of RA 10752 modes of acquisition, i.e., Donation, Negotiated Sale, Expropriation, Acquisition of Properties under Commonwealth Act (CA) NO. 141, Exchange of Barter, Easement of Right-of-way, Acquisition of Subsurface Right-of-way and other modes authorized by Law. Marginally affected The impact is only partial and the remaining portion of the person property or asset is still viable for continued use. Meaningful

  • Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.89 (2016), pp.9-16 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2016.89.02 Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System Tomas U. Ganiron Jr IAENG, Hongkong College of Architecture, Qassim University, Buraidah City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 in Metro Manila with the aim of characterizing its technological evolution and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. The study provides the concept of understanding the recent operation and developmental resolutions that the management of LRTA line 1 is providing as a preparation to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the commuters. Through the application of technology and scientific principles by means of transportation engineering for managing the facilities of the LRTA line 1 system, the system can provide safer, more rapid, more convenient, economic and environmental friendly way of transportation for the increasing demand of commuters. However, LRT 1 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The traffic jams in Manila are staggering. Only a few traffic lights often disregarded separate the combatants. Every one force his way across the junctions, thus blocking everyone else and so the government decided to find a solution.

  • Chapter 9 Comprehensive Recommendation
    CHAPTER 9 COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATION CHAPTER 9 COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATION 9.1 Development of the Railway Network 9.1.1 Realization of Planned Lines The objective of the Study is to make railways in Metro Manila more comfortable and convenient for users and in turn to increase the number of people using railways. The most important and effective means of ensuring that citizens use railways is the construction of a railway network. In the Study, it is not intended to propose the planning and construction of new specific rail routes, however, it is hoped that construction of those routes currently being planned is realized at an early stage. Future plans for rail network construction in Metro Manila have already been demonstrated in the following programs: ① JICA development study “Metro Manila Urban Transportation Integrated Study” (MMUTIS) implemented from 1997 through 1999 ② Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) established by the Philippine Government and having 1999-2004 as the target year The most important thing in order to increase the number of rail users in Metro Manila is to achieve the earliest possible realization of these already proposed rail network plans. In addition to the already operating Line 1, Line 3 and PNR, if construction of Line 2 (currently being built) and the planned Line 3 extension, Line 4, Line 6, North Rail and MCX is realized, dramatic increase in the number of rail users can be anticipated. (See Appendix 3 for the current conditions and plans of railways in Metro Manila). In advancing construction of the railway network, it will be necessary to promote cooperation between related Departments and Agencies such as the DOTC, NEDA, MMDA and DPWH, etc.

  • Funding Transport Infrastructure Development in the Philippines: a Roadmap Toward Land Value Capture
    JULY 2018 Funding Transport Infrastructure Development in the Philippines: A Roadmap Toward Land Value Capture Haraya Buensuceso and Cesar Purisima EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Prevailing discussions surrounding transport infrastructure in the Philippines tend to focus on the boons and banes of different financing models. While such discussions are important and worthwhile, the fact remains that the sustainability of a transport service ultimately hinges on the ability to pay for it. Whether publicly or privately financed, adequate and reliable funding underlies every project’s long-term success. This paper examines a class of funding tools that has been underutilized, but which the Philippine government may consider using as it plans for an era of “Build, Build, Build.” Land value capture, or LVC for short, takes a “beneficiary-pays” approach to infrastructure and encompasses a plethora of strategies that leverage the benefits of higher land values typically found around transport infrastructure such as urban transit stations, corridors, integration hubs, and roads. For many years, there have been two conflicting demands on who should take on the burden of paying for transport projects. On the one hand, there are calls to reduce transit subsidies, which impose a large tax burden on the population, including nonusers. On the other hand, there is continual pressure to keep transit fares at an affordable level for the commuting public. LVC provides a way out of this conundrum and offers the prospect of an infrastructure funding mix that is more equitable, efficient, and sustainable. LVC has taken on various forms around the world, but not all may be suitable for the Philippine context.

  • The Study on the Standardization for Integrated Railway Network of Metro Manila (Executive Summary)
    Envisioned LRT Monumento Station Plaza Envisioned PNR Magallanes Station THE STUDY ON THE STANDARDIZATION FOR INTEGRATED RAILWAY NETWORK OF METRO MANILA (EXECUTIVE SUMMARY) Study Period : February 2000～March 2001 Accepting Organization : Transportation Planning Service, Department of Transportation and Communications 1. Objectives of the Study The Study intends the formulation of a master plan for the integration of the rail transport system in Metro Manila and the implementation of a basic design study on model stations. In addition, technology transfer to counterparts in the Philippines who will participate in the Study during the study period will be conducted through field survey work. 2. Study Method The study team conducted on-site surveys in order to gain an understanding of the actual situation in Philippines. It exchanged views with the Philippine steering committee, technical working committee and counterpart team, and gathered information. Based on the results of the survey in the Philippines and Japanese experience, the study team drew up a report. 3. Study overview The operation, construction as well as planning of urban railway lines are currently in progress in Metro Manila so as to enhance the convenience of transport and to ease the traffic congestion in the region. However, the inadequate consideration of mutual links between different lines and the subsequent lack of a plan for the introduction of services on different lines could create major inconvenience as the public transport, and the construction of new railway lines without proper examination of their conformity with urban planning around new stations has led to problems. Meanwhile, in the software aspect, the introduction of through tickets for passengers using more than one railway line are less than ideal.

  • 2.3.5.1 Manila LRT
    Philippines 2.3.5.1 Manila LRT Key Information Network length xxx Operational lines 2 Stations xxx Ridership xxx Fare system xxx Track and Power xxx Technology Automatic train control Commencement of operations December 1984 Background: Metro Manila is the national capital region of the Philippines, encompassing 16 cities, namely, Manila, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Pasay, Pasig, Parañaque, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig and Valenzuela, and the Municipality of Pateros. In addition to the Manila light rail transit (LRT), the region is also served by the Manila Metro Rail Transit system (Manila MRT). Key players: Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), a government-owned and controlled corporation under the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC), owns and operates the system. LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) was initially operated by METRO Incorporated, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manila Electric Company. However, after a turbulent employee strike in 2000, the LRTA decided not to renew the 16-year operations and maintenance (O&M) agreement with METRO and has since taken over the operation of the line. In October 2014, Light Rail Manila Consortium (LRMC) secured the contract to construct the extension of LRT-1 to Cavite as well as provide O&M for the entire LRT-1 for xxx years. The consortium comprises Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) Light Rail Corporation (xxx per cent share), Ayala AC Infrastructure Holdings Corporation (xxx per cent share), and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings Philippines Pte Limited (xxx per cent share). MPIC is one of the three main Philippine units of Hong Kong-based First Pacific Company Limited.
