7.2 Magnitude Earthquake in Central Visayas, Region VII Response Code: PHL -Eq -13 Category: 3 (Medium) Cat 3 Sitrep No: 9 Date: 28/11/2013 HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE SITUATION REPORT Response Name: 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake in Central Visayas, Region VII Response Code: PHL -eq -13 Category: 3 (Medium) Cat 3 SitRep No: 9 Date: 28/11/2013 Grade 2 students at Cogon Elementary School in Loon, Bohol find hope of regaining education through the temporary learning spaces provided by Save the Children in their severely-damaged school. 1. General overview (for EXTERNAL use) General context, situation for children including numbers of children affected and the number of schools, homes, villages affected. Include the source of these figures. A 7.2 magnitude earthquake, of tectonic origin, struck Central Visayas, Philippines on 15 October 2013 at 8:12 AM. Based on the update issued by the NDRRMC on 3 November 2013, the quake has affected a total of 671,103 families or 3.2 million individuals across 1,527 barangays in 60 municipalities and six (6) cities in six (6) provinces in Regions VI and VII. Of the total affected, 71,822 families or 348,597 individuals were displaced in Bohol, with 17,203 families or 79,773 individuals live in 392 evacuation centers; while 54,619 families or 268,734 individuals live outside evacuation centers. The quake has claimed 223 individuals. A total of 73,002 houses were damaged in Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, Iloilo, Siquijor, and Guimaras. Seaport, airports, churches, government/public buildings, schools and hospitals were also damaged in Bohol, Cebu, Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Siquijor, and Leyte. The damage is estimated to be worth more than P2 billion (approx. USD 52 Million) . Relevant government agencies and LGUs have provided P 65 million (approx. USD 1.5 Million) worth of assistance to the affected municipalities. Government identified water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), education, food, emergency shelter, logistics and coordination and early recovery as priority areas for support/intervention. UN OCHA launched the Bohol Earthquake Action Plan on 25 October, seeking more than $40 million for six months to support over 300,000 displaced individuals. Clusters at the provincial level is led by the provincial government and co-led by international agencies to ensure that aid is delivered to the most vulnerable. Save the Children is co-leading the Education Cluster with the Provincial Department of Education (UN OCHA). Classes in all levels in Bohol resumed on 11 November almost a month after the earthquake. None of the classrooms in Cogon Elementary School (in Cogon, Loon), Ubujan Taubaas Elementary School (in Ubujan, Antequera), and Pagnituan National High School (in Pagnituan, Maribojoc) was left intact. Ceilings and walls collapsed, huge cracks in the floor and even in the ground outside are everywhere, and teaching materials were damaged. As such, classes are held in shifts in cramped temporary classrooms. Initial reports of Department of Education (DepEd) and Physical Facilities Schools Engineering Division (PFSED) reveal that more than 1,000 classrooms have been damaged, with more than P400 million (approx. USD 9.8 million) needed for rehabilitation and reconstruction. More displaced families are now returning home to set up makeshift shelters using salvaged material from their homes and distributed relief items such as tents and tarpaulins. Displaced families whose homes are located in areas identified as potentially unsafe, require support to build temporary shelters and for possible future relocation. Provision of temporary shelter to displaced families is a priority until the end of the rainy season this year. Recent context developments According to the report of the PDRRMC office, Super Typhoon Haiyan (“Yolanda” in the Philippines) has affected 6,185 families/45,670 persons in Bohol. Residents living in the coastal and low-lying areas were pre-emptively evacuated to safe school and government buildings. Landslides, flooding, and overflowing of dams were reported across the province, but the PDRRMC said that these incidents were not life-threatening. Due to the severe impact of Haiyan in the province of Leyte, electricity supply in Bohol was interrupted. Leyte is the electricity source of Bohol. The disruption of electricity supply caused also the disruption of water supply as water supply in Bohol is electricity-dependent. News reports state that power will be restored within the next six weeks. According to UN OCHA, a list of equipment including general cleaning, rubble removal and personal protection gear is proposed by the Shelter Cluster and early recovery technical working group for distribution to affected families whose homes need to be demolished. Cluster co-leads for shelter (the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies/IFRC, and early recovery (UNDP) are preparing a strategy to provide shelter support to families during the transition period from emergency to recovery (UN OCHA). Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster and the Protection Cluster (covering gender-based violence (GBV) and child protection) identified the need for trained camp 2 managers to coordinate humanitarian interventions, in the evacuation centres and the communities. The newly-trained camp managers are expected to assist in DSWD-WFP food distribution and barangay elections in quake-affected areas which are delayed until 25 November due to the earthquake. The elections were conducted as scheduled. 2. Overview of the response 15 October 2013 to 18 November 2013 Save the Children conducted rapid assessment and response in some of the worst hit areas in Bohol, in coordination with the Department of Health Emergency Management Services (HEMS), Education Cluster in the area, and the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO). Damage is most pronounced in the municipalities of Antequera, Loon, Maribojoc, Cortes, Carmen, Loboc and Sagbayan (PDRRMO). Affected communities, particularly in the said municipalities, continue to clamor for food and safe drinking water. Save the Children aims to reach 8,000 families, which correspond to 20% of the total families (40,000 beneficiaries) in 7 most affected municipalities in Bohol. Thirty-thousand (30, 000) children are expected to benefit from the package of services that have been developed for the affected population of Bohol, Philippines. Merlin aims to reach 147,463 individuals1 in 6 municipalities in Bohol severely affected by the earthquake, with specific focus on the most vulnerable, being children under 5 years, the pregnant and lactating women, the elderly and people with disabilities. The team has provided relief of household, hygiene, and shelter kits to 1,450 2 affected families in the municipalities of Antequera (Barangays Angilan, Bitaugan, Canlaas, Poblacion, Quinaponp-an, and Tagu-baas), Maribojoc (Barangay Busao) and Loon (Barangays Napo, Basac, Cahangdon Occidental). Save the Children has prepositioned additional supplies which now includes Jerry cans to respond to the most vulnerable in the area. SECURITY 1 Based on population in the six municipalities accessing health services 2 This figure is reached after eliminating the ‘double counting’ of families as reported in earlier Situation Reports. The earthquake and succeeding aftershocks severely affected slope stability in Bohol causing a series of landslides. Aftershocks may cause damage to infrastructures and further trigger landslides. Sinkhole formations are reported in the municipalities of Carmen and Loon and in Tagbilaran City. WASH Water is a major need in the area due to damaged and unreliable water system caused by the earthquake. Water trucking is being provided (mostly on the main roads) by government agencies and LGUs. Storage and purification of water remains a challenge. Open defecation is reported in evacuation centers without adequate sanitation facilities. During the Child-friendly Session conducted by the Save the Children in Brgy. Basac, Loon, children were taught on the proper way of washing their hands. Meanwhile, due to the severe impact of Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda), power and water supplies across Bohol was cut off. Due to the absence of electricity, the residents suffer from water scarcity. Water generation across Bohol is electricity-dependent. The provincial of government of Bohol has coordinated with electric and water companies and agreed on a power sharing on rotational basis. Supply of electricity in the province is limited for four hours a day. Save the Children has distributed water kits to 701 families in the municipality of Antequerra (Barangays Angilan, Bitaugan, Canlaas, Quinapon-an, and Tagu-baas) to equip beneficiaries with clean water storage to avoid illnesses that could arise from untidy water storage. EDUCATION As classes have been suspended, the cluster identified setting up of Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) and provision of learning kits for students and classrooms as priority Education in Emergency (EiE) interventions. DepEd also reported that almost 1,000 temporary learning spaces are needed to help affected children regain a sense of normalcy as rehabilitation of classrooms is expected to take months based on the recommendations of the city engineers. Save the Children has set up one Temporary Learning Space (TLS) at Loon South Central School in Moto Sur, Loon; two at Cogon Elementary School in Cogon, Loon; one at Pagnitoan National High School in Pagnitoan, Maribojoc; and one at Ubujan-Taubaas Elementary School in Ubujan, Antequera. To date, 757 students across Bohol use the TLS given by Save the Children. • Loon South Central School, Loon – 19 preschool students • Cogon Elementary School, Loon – 210 grades 1, 2, 4, and 5 students • Ubujan-Taubaas Elementary School, Antiquerra – 64 grades 4, 5, and 6 students • Pagnituan National High School, Maribojoc – 164 grade 7 and fourth year level students DepEd said that the current number of available TLS is not enough to accommodate the returning students. DepEd needs 910 TLS for Bohol, but as of 5 November only 28 have been provided. The learning spaces were provided by Save the Children, 5 TLS; AusAID, 5; and Unicef, 18. There is still 882 gap that need to be filled in as classes have resumed in all levels in Bohol.

  • Current Politics of Foreshore Reclamation in Tagbilaran City: the Emerging Prospects and Challenges
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8055 (Online) CURRENT POLITICS OF FORESHORE RECLAMATION IN TAGBILARAN CITY: THE EMERGING PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES Prof. Erika Barbarona Holy Name University [email protected] Dr. Frederico B. Ticong Holy Name University [email protected] Maeveen Marie R. Durban Holy Name University [email protected] Minette Almedilla Holy Name University Elne Galon Holy Name University -Abstract- The study aimed to assess the current status of foreshore reclamation in the City of Tagbilaran. The City of Tagbilaran sets the demands of the increasing urbanization, facing the challenge of economic expansion in foreshore areas. Using the quantitative and qualitative method, the researchers were able to assess the current politics of foreshore reclamation based on the analysis of its emerging challenges and prospects. The data revealed that the respondents have seen the challenge of having an increase of transportation and population explosion that would result to high level of noise and disturbance of the ecosystem and nature. The possibility of a highly competitive and more urbanized city, expanding infrastructure, more workers creating economic stability and new attractions does not compensate the challenges. The researchers found out that businessmen who are in the government are holding back the people in deciding about the existence of foreshore reclamation. In fact, there are still more public land areas available to 48 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8055 (Online) utilize and develop that would not lead them to resort for foreshore reclamation. Hence, people in Tagbilaran City were not yet ready to become a highly urbanized city.

  • AN ETHNOGRAPHY on the WOMEN of ESKAYA Regina A
    SCRIBBLING THE VOICE OF A TENDE: AN ETHNOGRAPHY ON THE WOMEN OF ESKAYA Regina A. Estorba, A.B., LL.B. Holy Name University Tagbilaran City INTRODUCTION In an effort to infuse local history to Philippine history (a subject I am teaching in the University), I brought my students for a day’s exposure sometime in 1999 to Taytay, Duero where the Eskaya community is located. My students and I expected a rich cultural past of the community intertwined with the country's historical heritage. The Eskaya communities can be found in the southwestern part of Bohol but are dispersed among the three towns of Duero (Taytay), Guindulman (Biabas), and Pilar (Lundag) [see map of Bohol]. They are noted for their own system of writing, language, and literature although they look like the contemporary Boholanos and speak the Cebuano. In 1621 during the Tamblot Rebellion, the center of culture was in Antequera, in the north central part of the island. Upon the defeat of Tamblot who was their “beriki” (mystical leader) and known to them as Babaylan Tumod (eloquent speaker), the Eskaya moved on to the southwestern part of Bohol where they are now located. Many of the ways of the Eskaya are common among the island’s rural folks. What is notable, however, is that the Eskaya community strictly observes segregation of the sexes. It is this peculiar practice that has perked my interest in knowing more about them as a community.1 1. Bohol The idea of segregation of sexes in certain activities has appalled my egalitarian senses. It is my belief that in these times, activities human beings undertake cut across sexes.

  • Governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay Bohol
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8047 (Online) GOVERNANCE OF THE BARANGAY CHAIRPERSONS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF UBAY BOHOL Sheena L. Boysillo, MPA Holy Name University Governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay Bohol [email protected] ─Abstract ─ Barangay governance plays a vital role in the empowerment of the local government units in the country. This is linked with the leader’s accountability, fairness, and transparency in the exercise of his duties and functions as a servant in his community. This study aimed to evaluate the governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay, Bohol. The researcher employed the descriptive survey questionnaire using quantitative design and a key informant interview using a qualitative approach. Results showed that the higher the IRA (Internal Revenue Allotment) given to the barangays, the more programs and projects are implemented because funds had been given to them as a subsidy for continuous developments. The results also indicated that majority of the Barangay Chairpersons were able to deliver very satisfactory public services in their barangays which also indicated that the core values of governance namely fairness, transparency and accountability were strengthened by the barangay chairmen during their term of office. The study concluded that the Local Government Code of 1991 paved the way for greater local autonomy to bring government closer to the doorsteps of the people.
