La Trinidad Physical Profile & Socio-Economic La Trinidad Socio-Economic & Physical Profile 2014 LA TRINIDAD PHYSICAL PROFILE & SOCIO-ECONOMIC 20141 I. PHYSICAL PROFILE General Location The capital town of Benguet Province, the Municipality of La Trinidad is located 256 kilometers north of Metro Manila. It is bounded on the north by the Municipality of Tublay, on the south by the city of Baguio, on the west by the Municipalities of Sablan and Tuba. Its geographical coordinates are 16 degrees, 21 minutes north latitude and 120 degrees and 35 minutes east longitude. The municipality is relatively the most developed settlement in the province of Benguet because of its proximity to the City of Baguio. It is the gateway of the southern lowlands into the Cordillera Region. Due to its advanced development, La Trinidad is considered as one of the Central Business Districts of Benguet. Philippines Cordillera Administrative Region Benguet Province Accessibility The municipality is accessible by land transport via the following entry points: from the Mt. Province through the Baguio-Bontoc Road; from La Union, through the Marcos Highway via the Pico-Lamtang; from Nueva Viscaya through the Benguet-Nueva Vizcaya Road; from Pangasinan, through Kennon road. All these roads converge at the City of Baguio. The nearest airport is located in nearby Baguio City, Loakan airport. Baguio- Manila travels take about 45 minutes flight or a 7-hour ride via land. Total road kilometerage for the whole municipality is 135.2 kilometers. The road network in the municipality exhibits a strong linear type of settlement characterized by a circumferential road that services the valley floor. Accessibility in the rural areas is still relatively inadequate, with generally very narrow roads. Heavy road traffic is concentrated in its main road, the Baguio-Bontoc National Road which traverses the valley proper and to which all other roads originate. This road is the center of socio-economic activities for the municipality. The municipality has several radial-circumferential roads that branch out to provide access to interior barangays and sitios most of which are tire-path roads, generally not feasible for commercial traffic. 1 Prepared by the Research & Evaluation Section, Municipal Planning & Development Office, 2015. All data are based on 2014 data unless otherwise stated. 1 La Trinidad Socio-Economic & Physical Profile 2014 Several public utility vehicles ply around the urban core, majority of which, are public utility jeeps (PUJs). A few taxicabs ply the areas less served by the jeeps while neither buses nor mini-buses ply in the area, except for those buses that pass through the Baguio-Bontoc national road leading to the northern towns of Benguet.

It has sixteen (16) barangays namely: Alapang, Alno, Ambiong, Balili, Bahong, Beckel, Betag, Bineng, Cruz, Lubas, Pico, Poblacion, Puguis, Shilan, Tawang and Wangal. 2 La Trinidad Socio-Economic & Physical Profile 2014 Wangal is the largest barangay with an area of 11.159642 sq. km. constituting 13.81% of the municipality. Puguis is the second largest area with 10.2182 sq. km. or 12.65% of the municipal land area. The third largest barangay is Alno and the smallest barangay is Cruz with an area of 0.5659 sq. km. constituting 0.70% of the municipality. In the process of Updating the Municipality’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the next ten years, a new criteria for classifying barangays into an urban or rural was approved by the National Statistical Coordination Board, resolution no. 9 series of 2003. Following the criteria set forth, there is a slight change in the classification of the barangays in La Trinidad.

Across the valley runs the major water body, the Balili River running from Baguio towards the eastern edge of the valley flowing to the north. The Wangal River, Bayabas, Pico and Puguis Creeks flowing from the mountainsides form the Bolo Creek which runs across the valley and converges with the Balili River at Poblacion. Draining from the Busol Watershed are Ambiong Creek, Lubas Creek, and Tawang Creek joining the Balili River from the south. Creeks in the northeast areas are separated into the east and west by the mountainous and northern part of Alno. Peril Creek has its basin at Bagto Mountain. It runs through the Alno Valley and reaches the Balili River. Moreover, waters from Alapang Creek come from Balili River flowing from Bahong Cave. The Gayasi River from Wangal also drains itself into the Balili River at Bineng. Prominent mountains are “Marlboro” mountain located at Beckel, Mount Mongo and Mount Mungao located at Bineng, Mount Yangbeo, Mount Kalugong and Tawang Mountains all located at Tawang and Mount Peripin Bato at Pico. In the center of the municipality is the valley located within the barangays of Betag, Pico, Balili and Poblacion surrounded by cliffs and huge mountains of limestone. 3 La Trinidad Socio-Economic & Physical Profile 2014 Slope La Trinidad valley is on plains with rising and falling slopes. It is bounded on the north and northwest by steep slopes. Comparatively gentle slopes are found from Cruz, Alapang, Bahong and Alno. The municipal mean slope is 40%. Steep (above the mean) slope areas include sitios Banengbeng, Oring, Amsalsal and Dilad in barangay Bineng. Relief is high with elevation ranging from 500 to 1,700 meters. The highest elevation is at 1,700 meters on the south- eastern portion near the Ambuklao Road at Beckel. The valley floor has an elevation of 1,300 meters above sea level. Bineng is the lowest barangay, with an elevation of 500 meters above sea level at the lowest point of Balili River.

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.

THE BELLS OF BALANGIGA Reflection and Introspection A Living Essay by Dan McKinnon “Tell me a fact, and I’ll learn. Tell me a truth, and I’ll believe. But tell me a story, and it will live in my heart forever.” Foreword In 1998 retired U. S. Air Force Colonel Gerald M. Adams published a booklet, “The Bells of Balangiga”. It was printed in Cheyenne, Wyoming and described the history of two bells taken from the ruble of a burned church belfry in the Philippines and brought to Fort D. A. Russell in 1904. Today they reside on F. E. Warren Air Force Base in a brick wall structure on Trophy Park, a grassy triangle near historic officers’ quarters. Gerry Adams enjoyed local history, wrote first about the bells for the Annals of Wyoming in 1987, and authored other historical articles.

Green, Co-Supervisor H.W. Brands, Co-Supervisor Robert Abzug Erika Bsumek Philippa Levine Paul Kramer “A Great Army of Instruction”: American Teachers and the Negotiation of Empire in the Philippines by Sarah Katherine Steinbock-Pratt, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May, 2013 Dedication For Eric. Thank you. Acknowledgements I owe a deep debt of gratitude to the many, many people who helped translate this project from a germ of an idea into a dissertation. I have been lucky enough to work with some wonderful scholars at the University of Texas at Austin and beyond. Without the generous support, razor sharp insight, and unfailing kindness of Laurie Green and H.W. Brands, this project could not have been realized. I am also indebted to the feedback and encouragement of Robert Abzug, Erika Bsumek, and Philippa Levine, Carolyn Eastman, Judy Coffin, Frank Guridy, Kimberly Alidio and Paul Kramer. I am also obliged to a number of fellow graduate students, for listening to me rabbit on about my ideas, and helping to steer me toward the nuggets of real value, especially Kyle Shelton, Cristina Salinas, Leah Deane, Deidre Doughty, Eric Bush, Erica Whittington, Luritta DuBois, Emily Brownell, Shannon Nagy, Rachel Ozanne, Juandrea Bates, and Julia Ogden.
