Food and nutrition research is pertinent to the needs of stakeholders like the policymakers, development program officers, program implementers, local executives, government and non-government stakeholders, and other users who are into program planning and development. Over the years, the NNS has evolved from a focused assessment of the Filipino’s nutritional status to expanding its purpose and use to include tracking progress towards the country’s commitment to “end malnutrition in all its forms” as stipulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Scaling-Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement. Since 1978 to 2013, the survey was conducted every 5 years, however due to the importance of having empirical data, policy makers and other users of the data deemed necessary to conduct the survey every year to provide local- and national-level data. To scientifically do this, the DOST-FNRI has resorted to a rolling survey or the Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS) for three years starting in 2018 until 2021 (not including 2020) to cover all the 81 provinces, 33 highly urbanized cities (HUCs) and three other special areas. Detailed description on the coverage of the ENNS is presented in the methodology of this report. This monograph presents the results of the 2018 ENNS reported by life stages of the seven survey components: Anthropometry, Biochemical, Clinical and Health, Socio-economic, Food Security, Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Practices, and Maternal Health and Nutrition. The results of the food consumption survey at the household and individual levels will be provided in another report. This book is developed by the Nutritional Assessment and Monitoring Division of the DOST-FNRI for use by our Local Chief Executives and development planners. We affirm that the use of correct and accurate food and nutrition information is necessary towards ending all forms of malnutrition. May this book generate fresh ideas and perspectives that shall be translated into doable actions for the betterment of the quality of life of Filipinos. MARIO V.

    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.

  • Evaluating the Seismic Hazards in Metro Manila, Philippines
    EVALUATING THE SEISMIC HAZARDS IN METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES Ivan Wong1, Timothy Dawson2, and Mark Dober3 1 Principal Seismologist/Vice President, Seismic Hazards Group, URS Corporation, Oakland, California, USA 2 Project Seismic Geologist, Seismic Hazards Group, URS Corporation, Oakland, California, USA 3 Senior Staff Seismologist, Seismic Hazards Group, URS Corporation, Oakland, California, USA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: We have performed site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analyses (PSHA) for four sites in the Manila metropolitan area. The Philippine Islands lie within a broad zone of deformation between the subducting Eurasian and Philippine Sea Plate. This deformation is manifested by a high level of seismicity, faulting, and volcanism. The Philippines fault zone is a major left-lateral strike-slip fault that remains offshore east of Manila. The Marikina Valley fault system (MVFS) is the closest active fault to Manila and represents the most likely near-field source of large damaging earthquakes. The largest earthquake that has struck Manila historically, surface wave magnitude (MS) 7.5, occurred in 1645. Manila has experienced other historical damaging earthquakes numerous times. We have included 14 crustal faults, and the Manila Trench, Philippines Trench, and East Luzon Trough subduction zones (both megathrusts and Wadati-Benioff zones) in our seismic source model. We also have accounted for background crustal seismicity through the use of an areal source zone and Gaussian smoothing. Very little paleoseismic data is available for crustal faults in the Philippines including the MVFS so we have included a large amount of epistemic uncertainty in the characterization of these faults using logic trees. New empirical ground motion predictive equations were used in the PSHA.

If you have a few nights to spare you may go to Palawan (El Nido, Coron, San Vicente, Port Barton are some of the most visited), Boracay, Bohol, Siargao (for surfing), etc. For day trips, you can go consider Corregidor Island, Anilao Batangas (for diving and snorkeling) Tagaytay to see Taal Volcano, Hidden Valley Springs in Laguna or Mount Pinatubo in Pampanga. Getting In The most reasonable and practical way to reach Manila is by air. Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), is the Philippines’ primary international airport with 4 terminals — Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4. Always check the Terminal of your airline as some airlines use more than one terminal. In any case, know that a free shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes to connect all 4 terminals 24 hours daily. Terminal 1 is used for most international flights such as Japan Airlines, Jetstar, China Southern, Asiana, EVA Air, Thai Airways, Korean Air, Saudia, Scoot, Alitalia, Kuwait Airways, Air China, Gulf Air, Hong Kong Airlines, Oman Air, Vietnam Airlines, etc. Terminal 2 is used by Philippine Airlines, ANA, Etihad, Turkish Airways, Air Macau, Bangkok Airways, etc.
