Muntinlupa Sub-Basin Geographic Location The City of Muntinlupa is located 22 kms south of Metro Manila and is easily accessible from the nearby provinces such as Laguna, Batangas, Cavite and Quezon. It is bounded on the Northwest by Paranaque City, on the West by Las Pinas City, on the Southwest by Cavite, on the South by Laguna and on the east by the Laguna de Bay. It has a total land area of 4384.576 hectares.Figure 23-1 illustrates the geographic location and boundary of the Muntinlupa sub- basin in the Laguna de Bay. Source: LLDA GIS Figure 23-1 Geographical Map There are seven watersheds whose names were derived from the name of the rivers or the name of the barangays where they are situated based on the topographical map. These are Sucat, Buli, Cupang, Bayanan, Balimbing, Magdaong, and Tunasan watersheds. They are bounded by Laguna Lake on the east, Alabang Heights Village on the northwest and extended to Victory Homes and Chrysanthemum on the southwest, Susan Heights, Magsaysay and Sampaguita on the south, and San Pedro on the southwest. Muntinlupa City is composed of nine barangays, namely, Alabang, Ayala-Alabang, Bayanan, Buli, Cupang, Poblacion, Putatan, Sucat, and Tunasan. Tunasan occupies the greatest percentage in terms of area, followed by Alabang, Ayala-Alabang and Putatan. It is noted that only seven barangays within the watersheds empty their water into the Laguna Lake through the natural river system and artificial drainage system which composes of canals and creeks. These barangays are Sucat, Buli, Cupang, Bayanan, Putatan, Poblacion and Tunasan.Table 23-1 shows the coordinates of the Sub-basin.

However, only the cities of Taguig and Muntinlupa are within the jurisdiction of LLDA. In addition, the sub- basin has a total of25 barangays (Table 23-2). Figure 23-2 illustrates the political map of the sub-basin which also shows the barangay distribution. Table 23-2 Municipalities and Barangays Covered MUNICIPALITY/CITY NO.

The highest stream flow rate was recorded in 2003 with 3.22 m3/sec while the lowest was in 1997 with .55 m3/sec, which can be attributed to the El Nino phenomenon. The 15-year average flow rate is 1.71 m3/sec. Figure 23-6, shows the stream flow trend throughout the 14-year period.

    TSSP 22 nd Annual Conference of the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines Iloilo City, Philippines, 12 Sept 2014 2014 Current Bus Service Operating Characteristics Along EDSA, Metro Manila Krister Ian Daniel Z. ROQUEL Alexis M. FILLONE, Ph.D. Research Specialist Associate Professor Civil Engineering Department Civil Engineering Department De La Salle University - Manila De La Salle University - Manila 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila, Philippines 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila, Philippines E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) has been the focal point of many transportation studies over the past decade, aiming towards the improvement of traffic conditions across Metro Manila. Countless researches have tested, suggested and reviewed proposed improvements on the traffic condition. This paper focuses on investigating the overall effects of the operational and administrative changes in the study area over the past couple of years, from the full system operation of the Mass Rail Transit (MRT) in the year 2000 to the present (2014), to the service operating characteristics of buses plying the EDSA route. It was found that there are no significant changes in the average travel and running speeds for buses running Southbound, while there is a noticeable improvement for those going Northbound. As for passenger-kilometers carried, only minor changes were found. The journey time composition percentages did not show significant changes over the two time frames as well. For the factors contributing to passenger-related time, the presence of air-conditioning and the direction of travel were found to contribute as well, aside from the number of embarking and/or disembarking passengers and number of standing passengers.

  • 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.
