Briefer Oplan Ligtas Biyahe: Undas 2013 BRIEFER OPLAN LIGTAS BIYAHE: UNDAS 2013 DOTC will launch OPLAN Ligtas Biyahe: Undas 2013 on 25 October 2013 to ensure travelers will have access to convenient, affordable, reliable, efficient, safe and secure (C.A.R.E.S.) transportation during the period covering the All Saints’/Souls’ Day (Undas) holidays, as well as the 2013 Barangay Elections (28 October 2013). The program will run from 25 October 2013 (Friday) to 04 November 2013 (Monday). The Department is expecting an influx of passengers traveling to their hometowns or to holiday destinations as early as the Friday/weekend before the elections, considering that 28 October 2013 (Monday) has been declared a special non-working holiday. This is in addition to 01-02 November 2013 (Friday- Saturday), which are also non-working days. Furthermore, it is noted that, historically, employers declare half-day work suspensions on the 31st of October. The DOTC has mandated all agencies to implement 24/7 operations for their action/operations centers, in coordination with the DOTC Action Center. For complaints, suggestions or questions, the riding public may call (02) 7890 – DOTC Action Center Hotline. For updates on OPLAN Ligtas Biyahe and other transportation-related matters, follow @DOTCPhilippines on Twitter. AIR SECTOR Passenger Volume Trends Below are some passenger volume predictions for major airports in the Philippines: o The figures for OPLAN Undas 2013 may be affected by the recent suspension of Air Asia flights to Davao, Kalibo, Taipei and Hong Kong from Clark International Airport effective 09 October 2013. o In addition to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, and the Clark and Mactan-Cebu Airports, high passenger volumes are also expected for the following airports: Davao (Francisco Bangoy), Kalibo, Laoag, Puerto Princesa, General Santos (Tambler), Zamboanga, Bacolod-Silay, Busuanga, Cagayan de Oro (Laguindingan), Iloilo, Tacloban (Daniel Romualdez), and Tagbilaran. o Based on the Undas 2012 figures (see Table 1), this 2013, a rise in passenger volume is expected at Philippine airports on the following dates: . October 25 (Friday) . October 26-27 (Saturday-Sunday) - Peak . October 30-31 (Wed-Thurs) . November 3 (Sunday) – Peak . November 4 (Monday) TABLE 1: REFERENCE: UNDAS 2012 MIAA/CIAC/MCIAA FIGURES NAIA CLARK MACTAN-CEBU Peak Day October 26 (Fri) October 28 (Sun) November 4 (Sun) High Pax October 27-28 (Sat-Sun) October 31 (Wed) October 29 (Mon) Volume November 4 (Sun) November 5 (Mon) Pax Volume October 30 (Tues) October 27 (Sun) October 27 (Sat) Above Average November 4-5 (Sun-Mon) November 1-2 (Thurs-Fri) *NOTE: During Undas 2012, non-Luzon/provincial airports (i.e. Davao, Laoag, Puerto Princesa, Tacloban and Busuanga) experienced high passenger volume figures on October 27-28 (Sat-Sun) and 30 (Tues), and November 4 (Sun). Plans for OPLAN Undas 2013 Airport authorities will be strengthening security measures against unlawful acts, terrorist attacks, or any other disruptions/disturbances to airport operations. Further, they will be coordinating with local police/government units and the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) to augment existing security personnel. Airport authorities will also be adjusting the shifting of security, public affairs, operations, maintenance/janitorial services, etc. personnel, and deploying additional manpower as necessary, to better serve/assist air passengers. The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) will conduct monitoring activities at all four (4) NAIA Terminals. The CAB Documentation and Ground Assistance roving teams will handle/entertain passenger questions and concerns, and randomly check the statuses of flights on airport flight monitors and verify these with airlines’ station managers. Help desks will be set up by CAB and Airport Operations/Public Assistance personnel at airports for passenger assistance. o CAB will have help desks at all four (4) NAIA Terminals to receive complaints and assist passengers regarding their rights. o In the past months, CAB has conducted Air Passenger Bill of Rights (APBR) seminars and exhibits within Metro Manila. o CAB has also conducted APBR briefings in several airports outside Metro Manila (Davao, Mactan-Cebu, Clark and Caticlan) to equip airport authorities’ personnel with the knowledge/skills to handle air passenger questions or complaints against airlines and/or regarding the APBR. CAB intends to conduct APBR briefings in all other airports outside Metro Manila, starting with Iloilo, Bohol and Leyte. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) will be providing additional seats in and around airport terminal buildings to ensure passenger convenience, as needed, and, as much as possible, charging stations for air passengers’ electronic gadgets. 2 CAAP will also be coordinating with the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) to ensure x-ray machines for security screening at airports are subject to maintenance check-ups prior to the monitored period. Furthermore, CAAP will be increasing the frequency of airworthiness inspections nationwide of general aviation aircraft, as well as the frequency of random drug and alcohol testing of flight crew nationwide for general aviation aircraft before and during the monitored period. Reminders for Air Passengers Certain airports, particularly the Caticlan, Busuanga and Naga Airports, are subject to Sunset Limitation. This means aircraft may only take off from and land at these airports after (official) sunrise and before (official) sunset. For information on flights departing from or arriving at NAIA that have been cancelled, follow @DOTCPhilippines on Twitter. For information on the status of flights, send a text message to 0917- TEXNAIA(8396242). For complaints or questions regarding the APBR or airline policies, you may call/text the CAB hotlines (24/7): (02) 542-5234, 0998-1285717 or 0927-3549515. The full text of the APBR may be viewed at/downloaded from www.dotc.gov.ph or www.cab.gov.ph. For Air Passengers: Coordinate/check with airlines regarding prohibited items on board flights to prevent long lines at the airport x-ray screening areas. You may also tweet @ots_dotc or text/call the OTS hotline: 0919-9999OTS(687) in case of any questions regarding security screening at airports or other OTS concerns. MARITIME SECTOR Passenger Volume Trends Below are the top twenty-five (25) ports in terms of passenger volume (included daily expected passengers based on historical OPLAN Undas data): TABLE 2: REFERENCE: UNDAS 2012 PPA FIGURES PORT DAILY PAX 1.

Balanacan 1,352.8 Higher than normal passenger traffic is expected for the whole monitored period. However, rather than a steady growth in passenger traffic leading to November 1, numbers are expected to peak during the weekend before the 2013 Barangay Elections. The public may expect another peak in passenger traffic during the weekend after the Undas holidays. Plans for OPLAN Undas 2013 Passenger Assistance Centers, which will serve as information/help/complaint/ medical/first aid booths for passengers at seaports nationwide, will be activated during the monitored period. 4 Mandatory Pre-Departure Inspection of ships will be conducted and recorded through video cameras to ensure that operators abide by the appropriate capacity of their vessels, and that vessels are equipped with an adequate number of lifesaving equipment and other facilities/appliances for the safety and security of the vessel and riding public. All operating and major support units of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) shall implement 24/7 operations. Port Authorities will ensure the proper processing of passengers at seaport terminal buildings. Passengers who do not go through the passenger terminal building security screening procedures will be prevented from boarding the vessels. Amenities/facilities for passenger comfort and convenience, such as drinking water and extra tents and chairs, will be provided at seaports. Heightened security inside and in the immediate vicinity of seaport premises will be implemented through the presence of additional port security officers, the maximization of port security equipment, such as x-ray machines and walk- through screening equipment, and the conduct of security checks for cargo and land vehicles. Fast lanes will be designated at seaports’ security screening areas for passengers carrying minimal belongings/baggage. Reminders for Maritime Passengers During high passenger volume seasons, there is a significant rise in petty crime incidents, most commonly estafa and ticket-selling scams, at seaports. In this light, maritime passengers are reminded to make sure: o To buy tickets only from authorized personnel (Huwag po magpauto sa mga “scalpers.). o That they are not made to pay for any extra charges that are not found in their [official] receipts issued (e.g. insurance, unofficial terminal fees). o To transact only with officials/personnel in proper uniform AND with proper identification

    CHAPTER 5 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Supplementary Survey on North South Commuter Rail Project (Phase II-A) in the Republic of the Philippines FINAL REPORT CHAPTER 5 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING 5.1 Examination of Preliminary Construction Plan The construction of NSCR will require careful planning and organization, given the magnitude of the works, time constraints and the location of the works on busy national and arterial roads within Metropolitan Manila and Bulacan Province. 5.1.1 Temporary Works 1) Temporary Access to Site It is necessary to apply countermeasures flooding during heavy rain season because of the low ground level between Malolos and Caloocan. There is no problem with an access road to the site along the main road in this area. However, it is necessary to consider to construct temporary access to site far from main roads. In swampy areas between Malolos and San Fernando along the PNR Route, it is necessary to construct a temporary steel stage for machinery or materials transportation during construction. It is necessary to install sheet piles to avoid an intrusion of ground water during construction of the substructure. 2) Sufficient Space for the Works There are some narrow ROW sections between Malolos and Caloocan along the PNR Route. During construction of elevated structures, it is necessary to have more than 15m width for access road to secure access of many trucks, truck mixers and other construction equipment transportation to the site. After construction, the temporary access shall be maintained more than 15m width as a service road for maintenance or emergency evacuation.

  • NORTH LUZON, PHILIPPINES Case Study (Transportation)
    NORTH LUZON, PHILIPPINES Case Study (Transportation) Project Summary: The Republic of the Philippines is an archipelagic nation in Southeast Asia comprised of 7,107 islands. The Philippines is home to over 91 million people, living on approximately 300,000 square kilometers. About half the population lives on the island of Luzon, where the capital, Manila, is located. Congestion in and around the capital is an area of concern for the Philippine government. The North Luzon Expressway is the main transport corridor from the Manila metropolitan area to central and north Luzon; there is no viable alternative for travelers. Built between 1975 and 1977 by the Department of Public Works and Highways, the expressway operated as a toll road. Originally, the expressway was franchised to a private company; however, this was later taken over by the government and renamed the Philippine National Construction Corporation PNCC). Under PNCC’s management, the expressway was not adequately maintained. In addition, growing traffic volume meant that the expressway’s capacity could no longer meet commuter needs. By the mid-1990s, about 160,000 vehicles traveled on the expressway each day, but with narrow lanes and heavy traffic, congestion became a major problem. The expressway also experienced a large number of avoidable accidents and deaths over the years. In the early 1990s, the Philippine government passed legislation that promoted and regulated the use of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in repairing existing infrastructure and building new projects. The Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Law of 1993 (as amended in 1994) provided the opportunity to utilize a BOT-type approach to modernizing the North Luzon Expressway.

  • 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.
