Short Report on the Findings and Observations from the Disaster Preparedness and Response Trainer Field Investigation By James Buika, Disaster Preparedness and Response Trainer Rationale for Training Program Partnerships 1. During 2011 and 2012, as mandated under the new law, Republic Act No. 10121, the Philippines will be moving towards a new paradigm of comprehensive disaster management, emphasizing preparedness and disaster risk reduction to compliment the nation’s strong emergency management operational organization. A key mandate under the new law is the requirement for all Local Government Units to establish and staff physical Disaster Risk Reduction Offices, with preparedness, training, and operations as three professional components for each office. 2. Although these organizational changes are still underway for all Local Government Units (LGUs), no clear guidance or professional training has been developed to assist LGUs with this mandated new task. The WFP‐EMI‐Philippines Partnership Training Program is designed to fill this immediate gap to build LGUs’ capacity in order to become compliant with the new disaster risk management law. The WFP‐EMI vision is that these local government changes will mimic state‐of‐the‐art disaster risk management systems throughout the world, developed and perfected over the past 20 years by the United Nations, the United States, and other advanced nations. Responsibilities for Disaster Risk Reduction at all levels of government within the Philippines is a new concept requiring a concerted training programme to move local governments towards fully implementing the intent of the new Disaster Risk Reduction and Management law. 3. UNWFP’s mandate is to reduce disaster risks by supporting governments and partners. Specifically, WFP’s Strategic Objective 2 from its Strategic Plan (2008‐2011) includes investing in disaster prevention, preparedness and mitigation measures. The objective of the Philippines Country Office is to design and build a disaster risk reduction programme based on understanding 1) risk, 2) prevention, and 3) preparedness. (Policy No. 5, 2009, WFP Policy on Disaster Risk Reduction). 4. UNWFP can benefit from EMI’s worldwide experience in disaster risk management, leadership in scientific knowledge, and its disaster management training capabilities. 5. This Capacity Needs Assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of gaps and needs from which a WFP‐specific training strategy and methodology are proposed. 6. Focused on improving WFP’s disaster risk reduction strategies in the Philippines, the common goal of the WFP‐EMI‐Philippines partnership is to integrate disaster risk reduction into local government programs, through a targeted training program, in order to prevent EMI © 2011 1 | Page Final Report Annexes Capacity Needs Assessment for Disaster Preparedness and Response acute hunger through investments in disaster preparedness and disaster risk reduction measures. Analysis of Training Program Gaps and Suggested Support Requirements for Key National Level Agencies and Selected Provinces Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) DILG’s responsibility with local government units is far reaching at the regional, provincial, and local levels. DILG provides budgets for LGUs as well as dictates LGU policies regarding plans and preparedness role for disasters. DILG also coordinates training programmes at the LGU level across the nation. The DILG also oversees implementation and monitoring of required Comprehensive Development Plans and Comprehensive Land‐use Plans. Under the new laws, LGUs are required to complete a plan for DRR and another plan for climate change, incorporating these new important elements into their CLUP and CDP. DILG, being the national agency most closely associated with LGUs in various aspects of governance, can potentially set the tone with respect to actual implementation of plans and a formal planning process. The EMI‐ WFP Programme can fill a gap by providing DILG and LGUs with guidance on DRR

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

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.

  • Ecological Profile 2018
    Baguio City Ecological Profile 2018 Chapter I HISTORY ABOUT BAGUIO CITY BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Spanish Era . The vastness and promising economic potential of the place lured the Spaniards to conduct series of expeditions. Early explorers included Juan Salcedo in 1572 and Don Q.M. Quirante in 1664. Series of attempts were made to pacify the Igorots but failed. Finally in 1846, Commandante de Galvey established his Commandancia at La Trinidad, Benguet (named after his wife). Galvey went to establish the province of Benguet with 31 rancherias. The first Kapitan of Benguet was Pulito of Kafagway, now Baguio, a minor Rancheria of about 20 houses. The presidentia of Baguio was first established in the house of the Campulet at the top of the new Tabacalera road at the lower end of Guisad Valley. Later, the presidentia of Baguio was moved to the present site of the Baguio City Hall. The Spaniard were able to establish order, built churches and schools, made trails and introduced coffee during their long occupation of the area. The Arrival . The Americans came early in 1900 and established their of the government with Mr. H. Phelps Whitmarsh as the appointed Americans Governor of Benguet and Baguio as the capital. This was the first provincial government to be established in the Philippines and this happened in a year prior to the inauguration of the civil government of the Philippines. Their best administrators and teachers were fervent boosters and promoters: Dean C. Worcester, Governor General Luke Wright, Cameron Forbes and others, who together with Filipinos committed to make the place haven.
