Although it has long been marked as the government center of the country, Diliman in Quezon City was largely undeveloped at that time. It is a two-storey building on an 8,400-sq. meter land along Matalino Road in Diliman, Quezon City with a total floor area of 6,711 square meters. This prestigious Quezon City landmark is strategically located in the midst of the city's principal business and commercial hubs, as well as the headquarters of national government offices. A stone's throw away from the Quezon Memorial Circle, the hotel is adjacent to the Quezon City Hall and the Heart Center for Asia.

Information about Manila Manila, also known as the Pearl of the Orient, is located in Southern Luzon, the largest of the more than 7,000 islands that make up the nation known as the Philippines. The city flanks Manila Bay, and is divided into northern and southern sections by the Pasig River. Manila serves not only as the country's capitol, but also as its financial, publishing, and business center. The citizens of the city speak Tagalog, but most are also fluent in English, which is the language of instruction in the public schools. Quezon City (Estimated Distance, Traffic, Taxi fare, etc.) Quezon City (QC) is approximately 20 kilometers from the Manila International Airport. During rush hours, travel time from the airport to QC will take up to two hours, but it is only less than an hour without traffic. Taxi fare ranges from USD 20-30. Weather Together with the rest of the Philippines, Manila lies entirely within the tropics. Its proximity to the equator means that the temperature range is very small. The Annual Mean Temperature is 25° C (77° F), while the Average Annual Precipitation is 81.3 inches (208.5 cm), falling mostly between May and November. 4 Humidity levels are usually very high all year round. Manila has a distinct dry season from December through May, and a relatively lengthy wet season that covers the remaining period with slightly cooler temperatures. In the wet season, it rarely rains all day, but rainfall is very heavy during short periods. Typhoons usually occur from June to September, extending to November recently. You may want to pack your raincoats just in case. Currency The currency used in the Philippines is the Philippine Peso (PHP). Current exchange rate in US Dollars is approximately at PhP50.00 to USD1.00. Credit Cards Most business establishments in Metro Manila and in other major Philippine cities accept credit cards. Some will display an “Accepts VISA or MasterCard” sign at their entrance. Some may also be "offline" so be sure to ask first if they accept credit, especially before dining. However, note that there are a few establishments that will have a minimum purchase requirement before accepting credit card payments. Others will only honor Philippine-issued credit cards. Smaller establishments and those in rural areas operate on “cash basis only,” which means they only take cash. ATM Availability Foreign ATM cards. with the logos of visa electron, etc. can be used in Philippines bank ATMs that carry the Visa electron, plus or Bancnet logos. (BDO, BPI, etc), however, an additional surcharge of 200 pesos is levied per transaction You won’t have a problem finding an ATM in major Philippine cities, especially in Metro Manila. Your best bet is to enter any mall and you’ll find at least one ATM there. It is wise to look for available international bank ATMs such as Chinatrust, Citibank, HSBC, Maybank, & Standard Chartered Bank, as they DO NOT charge for withdrawals using a foreign/overseas card (info is inaccurate: as per 2013, at least Citibank and Chinatrust DO charge 200 peso commission for foreign cards of any other bank). Be aware that when withdrawing from LOCAL / Philippine bank ATMs using a foreign/overseas card, you may be charged an extra fee, over and above your home bank’s fee (ranges from Php150-200 per withdrawal). Some local bank ATMs will also have a withdrawal limit, which ranges from Php4,000 to P20,000 per withdrawal, and may also impose a limit of 2 withdrawals per day. F. Liability of the Organizers The Organizers, or any of its officers or staff, shall not be liable in any way for any loss or damage to your person or property during the course of the workshop, including your journey to and from Philippines. You are advised to secure at your personal expense such insurance (travel, medical, etc.) necessary to cover accidents resulting in permanent or temporary disability or loss of life, and third party risk for the period of the meeting and workshops, including the journey to and from Philippines. 5 THE INTEGRATED COASTAL MANAGEMENT TRAINING OF TRAINERS (ICM ToT) Objectives 1.1.

    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 A Study on Travel Time and Delay Survey and Traffic Data Analysis and Visualization Methodology Reigna Jewel Ritz M. MACABABBAD Jose Regin F. REGIDOR Graduate Student Associate Professor Institute of Civil Engineering, Institute of Civil Engineering University of the Philippines College of Engineering Diliman, Quezon City University of the Philippines 1101 Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail: [email protected] 1101 Philippines E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Travel time and delay studies are used to evaluate traffic conditions, determine levels of service and to plan for improvements. Transportation planners and engineers of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) still employ the manual or stop watch method using a test car in obtaining travel time and delay data. Thus, it is necessary to develop and demonstrate an efficient method using tools for assessment of road traffic conditions. This paper presents a Geographical Positioning System or GPS based travel time and delay survey and data analysis methodology. It presents the development and application of a methodological framework and also data analysis and presentation through the use of digital maps. The use of GPS in this research provides fundamental inputs towards the development of a probe car system for use in travel time and delay studies in the Philippine cities. Key Words: GPS, travel time, delay, methodology 1. INTRODUCTION Travel time, a fundamental measure in transportation, is the total elapsed time necessary for a vehicle to travel from one point to another over a specified route under existing traffic conditions.

  • CHAPTER 1: the Envisioned City of Quezon
    CHAPTER 1: The Envisioned City of Quezon 1.1 THE ENVISIONED CITY OF QUEZON Quezon City was conceived in a vision of a man incomparable - the late President Manuel Luis Quezon – who dreamt of a central place that will house the country’s highest governing body and will provide low-cost and decent housing for the less privileged sector of the society. He envisioned the growth and development of a city where the common man can live with dignity “I dream of a capital city that, politically shall be the seat of the national government; aesthetically the showplace of the nation--- a place that thousands of people will come and visit as the epitome of culture and spirit of the country; socially a dignified concentration of human life, aspirations and endeavors and achievements; and economically as a productive, self-contained community.” --- President Manuel L. Quezon Equally inspired by this noble quest for a new metropolis, the National Assembly moved for the creation of this new city. The first bill was filed by Assemblyman Ramon P. Mitra with the new city proposed to be named as “Balintawak City”. The proposed name was later amended on the motion of Assemblymen Narciso Ramos and Eugenio Perez, both of Pangasinan to “Quezon City”. 1.2 THE CREATION OF QUEZON CITY On September 28, 1939 the National Assembly approved Bill No. 1206 as Commonwealth Act No. 502, otherwise known as the Charter of Quezon City. Signed by President Quezon on October 12, 1939, the law defined the boundaries of the city and gave it an area of 7,000 hectares carved out of the towns of Caloocan, San Juan, Marikina, Pasig, and Mandaluyong, all in Rizal Province.

Thus, one of the mandates of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) is to look into, and prepare for the possibility of a strong earthquake affecting major population centers, such as Metro Manila, with great consternation and vigilance. To prevent the loss of lives and property, we must organize and coordinate specific courses of action, as well as identify institutional roles and resources, information processes and operational arrangements, such as those contained in Oplan Metro Yakal Plus or the Metro Manila Integrated Contingency Plan for Earthquake (MMICP for Earthquake).

  • The Quezon Memorial Circle Is a National Park and Shrine Located in Quezon City, Former Capital of the Philippines (1948–1976)
    The Quezon Memorial Circle is a national park and shrine located in Quezon City, former capital of the Philippines (1948–1976). The park is an ellipse bounded by the Elliptical Road. At its center is a mausoleum containing the remains of Manuel L. Quezon, the second President of the Philippines, and his wife, First Lady Aurora Quezon. The site was originally intended as the grounds of the National Capitol to be built in Quezon City. While the cornerstone for the structure was laid in 1940, only the foundations were in place when construction was interrupted by the beginning of the Second World War in the Philippines. After World War II, President Sergio Osmeña issued an executive order stipulating the creation of a Quezon Memorial Committee to raise funds by public subscription to erect a monument to his predecessor, President Manuel Luis Quezon. After a national contest was held for the purpose, a winning design by Filipino architect Federico Ilustre was selected. The monument would consist of three vertical pylons (representing the three main geographic divisions of the country: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao), 66 meters (217 ft) tall (Quezon's age when he died), surmounted by three mourning angels holding sampaguita (the national flower) wreaths sculpted by the Italian sculptor Monti. The three pylons would in turn circumscribe a drum-like two-story structure containing a gallery from which visitors could look down at Quezon's catafalque, modeled after Napoleon Bonaparte's in the Invalides. The gallery and the catafalque below are lit by an oculus, in turn reminiscent of Grant's Tomb.
