Summary Report SUMMARY REPORT RESULTS OF THE MGB GEOHAZARD ASSESSMENT COVERING TWENTY TWO (22) MUNICIPALITIES IN THE PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA In line with the recent Presidential Directive and NDCC resolutions following the February 17 Southern Leyte landslide incident, and the need to fast track the geohazard mapping program along the eastern seaboard of the Philippines, geologists from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Regional Office III (MGB-R3) conducted a geohazard assessment of the barangays in the municipality/city of the province of Pampanga. Each barangay was classified according to their susceptibility to landslide and/or flooding. For landslide susceptibility, the rating parameters are as follows: High • Presence of active and/ or recent landslides • Presence of numerous and large tension cracks along slope adjacent to the community and that would directly affect the community • Areas with drainages that are prone to landslides damming • Steep/Unstable slopes consisting of loose materials Moderate • Areas with indicative and/or old landslides • Presence of small tension cracks along slope and are located away from the community • Moderate slopes 1 Low • Low to gently sloping • No presence of tension cracks Each barangay was rated into low, moderate or high for flooding susceptibility with the rating parameters as follows: Low • 0 – 0.5 meter depth of floodwaters Moderate • 0.51 – 1 meter depth of floodwaters High • > 1 meter depth of floodwaters With regards to landslide susceptibility, the barangays assessed include areas that are located on and/or near slopes and riverbanks and have the potential for landslide occurrence. The rating of each barangay presented herein particularly refers to the barangay proper since majority of the population is located there. It should be noted, however, that the rating does not necessarily reflect those of the sitios. These barangays were presented with a Landslide Threat Advisory informing their susceptibility to landslides and the corresponding recommendations particular to the barangay. The flood susceptibility of the barangays in the municipalities/cities was also assessed. Barangays classified with moderate to high susceptibility to flooding are located in identified low portions of the barangay, in topographically low-lying areas and/or near a major river system. These barangays were presented with a Geohazard Threat Advisory informing their susceptibility to floodings and the corresponding recommendations particular to the barangay. 2 Table 1.

    Philippines Pampanga Delta Development Project, Flood Control Component (1) External Evaluator: Taro Tsubugo Field Survey: November 2004 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Baguio Manila Project site Cebu City Philippines Davao Project site location map A newly-developed dike road 1.1 Background The Philippines experiences severe damages from flooding and landslides caused by tropical storms. Although the government attaches importance to flood control projects, constraint on the fiscal budget have hampered the implementation of these projects. The lower basin of the Pampanga River is one of the areas most frequently affected by flooding. In the Pampanga Delta, which is consisted of swampy lowland and the mouth areas of the Pampanga River, typhoons frequently resulted in flooding and caused considerable damage to the farming and fishing industry and to public and private property. With the delta being at 0-9m above sea level, the Pampanga River has limited flow capacity. Flood control projects undertaken on the Pampanga River can date back to 1939. As the development potential (such as aquaculture) of the lower basin areas drew attentions in more recent years, the necessity of flood controls at the west of Sulipan, in particular, had increased. 1.2 Objectives This project’s objective was to enhance flood controls on the lower basins of the Pampanga River in Central Luzon, an area prone to perennial flooding, by implementing river improvement works, thereby contributing to improvements in living standards and to regional economic growth. 1.3 Borrower/Executing Agency Government of the Philippine Republic/Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 1 1.4 Outline of Loan Agreement Loan Amount/Disbursed Amount 8,634 million yen/7,537 million yen Exchange of Notes/Loan Agreement October 1989/February 1990 Terms and Conditions Interest Rate 2.7% Repayment Date (Grace Period) 30 years (10 years) Procurement General untied (Consultant component: partially untied) Final Disbursement Date December 2001 Contractors Kawasho Corporation, Hanil Development Co., Ltd.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The owing explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Received: 15 July 2020; Accepted: 13 August 2020; Published: 24 August 2020 Abstract: Several confirmed cases of arsenic (As) poisoning have been reported in Central Luzon, the Philippines, in recent years. There is a growing interest in As research in the Philippines due to the reported As poisoning cases. However, an extensive spatiotemporal As study has not been conducted. In this work, As concentration measurements were conducted in 101 wells in Guagua, Pampanga, in Central Luzon, the Philippines, from November 2018 to November 2019. The wells included 86 public hand pumps, 10 pumping stations, and 5 private, jet-powered pumps. Using hydride generation—inductively coupled plasma—optical emission spectroscopy (HG-ICP-OES), analysis of the wells in 12 barangays in Guagua revealed that 38.7% had average As concentrations beyond the 10 ppb limit with some wells having high Mn (4.0 ppm) and Fe (2.0 ppm) content as well.
