Tackling Exposure to Changing Hazards and Disaster Impacts Enhancing Adaptive Capacity Addressing Poverty, Vulnerabil- ity and their Causes In 2008, the Province of Albay in the Philippines was declared a "Global Local Government Unit (LGU) model for Climate Change Adapta- tion" by the UN-ISDR and the World Bank. The province has boldly initiated many innovative approaches to tackling disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in Albay and continues to integrate CCA into its current DRM structure. Albay maintains its position as the first mover in terms of climate smart DRR by imple- menting good practices to ensure zero casualty during calamities, which is why the province is now being recognized throughout the world as a local govern- ment exemplar in Climate Change Adap- tation.

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • Earthquake Plan Swiss Community
    Embassy of Switzerland in the Philippines Our reference: 210.0-2-MAV Phone: + 632 757 90 00 Fax: + 632 757 37 18 Manila, November 2010 Earthquake Plan WHAT IS AN EARTHQUAKE? 1. Earthquakes are caused by geological movements in the earth which release energy and can cause severe damage due to ground vibration, surface faulting, tectonic uplifts or ground ruptures. These can also trigger tsunamis (large sea- waves), landslides, flooding, dam failures and other disasters up to several hundred kilometres from the epicentre. 2. These occur suddenly and usually without warning. Major earthquakes can last minutes, but as a rule, these last only a few ten seconds. All types of earthquakes are followed by aftershocks, which may continue for several hours or days, or even years. It is not uncommon for a building to survive the main tremor, only to be demolished later by an aftershock. 3. The actual movement of the ground during an earthquake seldom directly causes death or injury. Most casualties result from falling objects and debris or the collapse of buildings. The best protection for buildings is solid construction and a structural design intended to withstand an earthquake. 4. An initial shock of an earthquake is generally accompanied by a loud rumbling noise, and it is not uncommon that people rush outside of the building to see what is happening, only to be caught unprepared by the subsequent and potentially more dangerous shocks and falling debris. EARTHQUAKES AND THEIR EFFECTS Intensity Force Effects on Persons Buildings Nature I Unnoticed Not noticeable Very light noticed here and there II III Light Mainly noticed by persons in relaxing phase IV Medium Noticed in houses; Windows are vibrating waking up V Medium to strong Noticed everywhere in the open.

  • Evidence of Large Earthquakes on the Surigao Segment of the Philippine Fault Zone, Northeastern Mindanao, Philippines
    Evidence of Large Earthquakes on the Surigao Segment of the Philippine Fault Zone, Northeastern Mindanao, Philippines Jeffrey S. Perez1,2, Hiroyuki Tsutsumi1, Daisuke Ishimura1, Mabelline T. Cahulogan2, and Desiderio P. Cabanlit 2 1 Department of Geophysics, Kyoto University, Japan 2 Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Philippines The 1,200-km-long Philippine fault zone (PFZ) is a major left-lateral strike-slip fault system that transects the whole Philippine archipelago from northwestern Luzon to southeastern Mindanao. It has generated destructive earthquakes with surface rupture in recent years such as the 1990 Luzon earthquake (Mw 7.7), 1973 Ragay Gulf earthquake (M 7.0) and 2003 Masbate earthquake (Ms 6.2). A review of historical earthquakes on the southern extent of the PFZ in Eastern Mindanao revealed that surface ruptures have resulted from large magnitude earthquakes in the past. One such earthquake was the destructive 1879 Surigao earthquake (M7.4). Written historical accounts for this earthquake indicate that approximately half a meter drop was observed across the plains located south of Lake Mainit, Agusan Del Norte (Repetti, 1946). Several fissures which may have been related to surface fault rupture were also reported in this area. In this study, we have conducted aerial photo interpretation, field mapping and paleoseismic studies to determine the activity of this segment. Aerial photograph interpretation and field mapping revealed recent tectonic landforms, such as offset streams and fault scarps with significant vertical displacement that may be related to the 1879 Surigao earthquake surface rupture. Field measurements of offset river terraces, that maybe related to the recent activity indicates horizontal displacement of 5.7 ± 1 m while vertical displacement of 0.5 m to 1.0 m was measured by fault scarp profiling.

  • Here at Aklan State University Main Campus in Banga This July 4-6, 2019
    1 We encourage you to use the website and mobile app for current information and to navigate the Symposium. Changes to the scientific program will be published on an addendum that will be posted on messages board. 2 In line with this year’s theme, the logo symbolizes the strategic cooperation between the scientific community and the different facets of the local institutions and the government to achieve wholesome and sustainable seas. The lower half signifies the ocean while the upper half shows the diversity of marine life and its interconnectivity with food security and environmental resilience. The halves meet at the center forming a handshake embodying the common understanding of the local communities, government, academe, private sector, NGOs, and especially the Filipino masses on the protection, management, and holistic conservation of the oceans. Lastly, the hues used also represent the colors of the sea at the break of dawn, signifying a new chapter for a more hopeful, science-based, and community- oriented future of the Philippine seas. Best logo design for PAMS15 Mr. John Michael Lastimoso 3 SYMPOSIUM SPONSORS 4 Welcome Message It is with great pleasure and excitement that we, the Philippine Association of Marine Science Officers 2017-2019, welcome you to the 15th National Symposium in Marine Science at the Aklan State University, Banga, Aklan on July 4-6, 2019 with the theme “Fostering synergy of science, community and governance for healthy seas.” As PAMS continues to undertake the task of promoting growth in marine science in the country, the PAMS15 will focus on highlighting the complex people-sea relationship and look more closely on the ways by which we can address the growing issues and risks to food security, biodiversity, and community resilience.

  • A Pilot Study on the Genetic Variation of Eastern Little Tuna (Euthynnus Affinis) in Southeast Asia
    Philippine Journal of Science 139 (1): 43-50, June 2010 ISSN 0031 - 7683 A Pilot Study on the Genetic Variation of Eastern Little Tuna (Euthynnus affinis) in Southeast Asia Mudjekeewis D. Santos1,2,*, Grace V. Lopez1, and Noel C. Barut1 1 Marine Fisheries Research and Development Division, National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, 940 Quezon Ave., Quezon City 1103 Philippines 2 Department of Biology, School of Science and Engineering, Ateneo de Manila University, Katipunan Ave., Quezon City 1108 Philippines Eastern little tuna or kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis) is one of the commercially important tunas in the Philippines and in the Southeast Asian region. Therefore, its sustainability needs to be ensured by effective management. Unfortunately, knowledge on the stock structure of this migratory species in the region, needed for management, is unclear. Here, we studied its genetic population structure using a 300 bp mitochondrial DNA control region (D-loop) marker. Thirty- five samples collected in five areas around the Philippines (Aparri, Palawan, Cagayan de Oro, Tawi-Tawi, and Davao) and thirteen from Peninsular Malaysia (Pangkor Island, Penang) were sequenced and analyzed. Forty five haplotype sequences were homologous (99%) to each other while three (all from Malaysia) were divergent (80%) sequences indicating misidentification. Haplotype distribution, low overall FST value and non-concordant phylogeographic grouping of the haplotypes indicated that eastern little tuna is panmixing in Southeast Asia. Key Words: control region, Philippines, population genetics, stock identification INTRODUCTION already shown signs of overexploitaton and decline (Barut et al. 2003; Barut et al. 1997). Eastern little tuna or kawakawa, Euthynnus affinis (Cantor 1849), a small epipelagic, migratory, neritic tuna is one Because of its commercial importance and migratory of the major commercial tuna species being caught nature, eastern little tuna should be properly studied worldwide.

In the Philippines, where topographic variation is apparent, the level of development can be associated with the physical characteristics of an area. The pace of economic growth may be hampered as environmental processes and phenomena brought about by topographic variations pose as constraints and limitations to development initiatives in the different parts of the country. This study takes off from the influence of geography on disasters as environmental phenomena that influences the course of development. It focuses on the province of Albay and how it rises to the challenge of its geography which, because of its location and geologic character, rendered it vulnerable to risks and hazards brought about by disasters. Purposely, the study will review the institutional creation and reforms and the policies and strategies formulated for all sectors that aimed to address the negative impacts of the disasters and the vulnerability of the communities in the province.
