NDCC Update Sitrep No 15 on TY BASYANG As of 18 July 14 July 2010 4:00 AM - TS Basyang crossed Luzon located at 90 km West of Metro Manila or 14.6°N, 120.1°E (95 kph) 10:00 AM - it maintained it strength as it moved away from the country 4:00 PM - Tropical Storm Basyang moved farther away from the country 10:00 PM - it continued to move away from the country located at 290 km West of Dagupan City or 16.2°N, 117.3°E (85 kph) 15 July 2010 (Final) 4:00 AM - TS Basyang moved farther away from the country (85 kph) B. Over-all Assessment Typhoon Basyang is the first typhoon in 2010 that crossed the mainland. However, its effects in terms of population affected, casualties and damages are very minimal compared to the effects of Tropical Storm “Ondoy” in 2009. The strength of TS Ondoy was only 105 kph, however, prior to its landfall near the boundary of Aurora and Quezon, it brought more rainfall enhanced by southwest monsoon which caused widespread flooding in most part of Metro Manila, Southern and Central Luzon as well as other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao while Typhoon Basyang was 120 kph but it did not bring more rainfall. Hence, resulting minimal destruction except in five (5) provinces of Region IV-A which suffered the brunt in terms of population, affecting 36,899 families or 180,452 persons in 546 barangays of 61 municipalities with minimal number of population displacement 1,132 families or 6,267 persons who evacuated to 46 evacuation centers. As of reporting time, there are 422 families or 2,081 families inside 15 evacuation centers. Region IV-A has the highest number of casualties (41 dead , 30 missing and 24 injured) while Region V is highest in terms of missing 47 aggravated by maritime incidents. In terms of damaged houses and cost of damages to agriculture and infrastructure, Region IV-A rank as No. 1 (3,165 totally and 23,696 partially and PhP94.750 Million). Only four (4) regions were affected by Typhoon Basyang: Regions III (Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan and Pampanga); IV-A (Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon and Batangas); V (Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte and Catanduanes); and NCR (cities of Muntinlupa, Pateros and Manila). Affected municipalities in Region IV-A were the same municipalities affected by Typhoon Ondoy in 2009. The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDANA) teams of RDCCs III, IV-A, V and MMDA are still conducting DANA in their respective areas of responsibility to determine the actual effects of said weather disturbance. It is therefore expected that figures on Typhoon Basyang will still increase. C. SUMMARY OF THE EFFECTS 1.

    Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines November 2005 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG-ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) http://www.nscb.gov.ph in cooperation with The WORLD BANK Estimation of Local Poverty in the Philippines FOREWORD This report is part of the output of the Poverty Mapping Project implemented by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) with funding assistance from the World Bank ASEM Trust Fund. The methodology employed in the project combined the 2000 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) to estimate poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity for the provincial and municipal levels. We acknowledge with thanks the valuable assistance provided by the Project Consultants, Dr. Stephen Haslett and Dr. Geoffrey Jones of the Statistics Research and Consulting Centre, Massey University, New Zealand. Ms. Caridad Araujo, for the assistance in the preliminary preparations for the project; and Dr. Peter Lanjouw of the World Bank for the continued support. The Project Consultants prepared Chapters 1 to 8 of the report with Mr. Joseph M. Addawe, Rey Angelo Millendez, and Amando Patio, Jr. of the NSCB Poverty Team, assisting in the data preparation and modeling. Chapters 9 to 11 were prepared mainly by the NSCB Project Staff after conducting validation workshops in selected provinces of the country and the project’s national dissemination forum. It is hoped that the results of this project will help local communities and policy makers in the formulation of appropriate programs and improvements in the targeting schemes aimed at reducing poverty.

Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

This short sketch provides some brief sociolinguistic notes on the group, followed by an overview of its phoneme system, grammatical subsystems, and verb system. Over 800 audio recordings accompany the article, including 100 sentences, three short narratives, and a list of over 200 basic vocabulary items. 1. Introduction1 Of the 175 indigenous languages currently spoken in the Philippines (Eberhard et al. 2019), few if any are as critically endangered as the Inagta language spoken on Alabat Island and around Villa Espina in the mountains of the Lopez- Guinayangan area in eastern Quezon Province on the large northern Philippine island 1The first author wishes to thank his many Agta friends, and their families, on Alabat Island andinLopez town, including

  • Getting to the Bottom of the Atimonan Rubout
    Getting to the bottom of the Atimonan rubout BENJIE OLIVEROS JANUARY 18, 2013 By BENJIE OLIVEROS As more information about the Atimonan, Quezon rubout of alleged jueteng lord Vic Siman and 12 others, including three policemen and three soldiers, is revealed to the public, the more questions arise. First reported as a legitimate encounter, the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) own investigation revealed the more likelihood of an ambush that was made to appear like a shootout. Police investigators had doubts about the positioning of the bodies and firearms. To the investigators, it looks as if the bodies and firearms were arranged to make it appear as a shootout. If indeed it was a rubout, what was the reason behind it? What were the motives and objectives of the combined police and military team headed by no less than the deputy intelligence chief of the Calabarzon police? Two former informants, who were part of the Siman group, were interviewed by TV 5 and Interaksyon.com in separate occasions, and their stories jibed with each other. They said the killings were the result of a turf war regarding jueteng operations in Laguna. Interaksyon.com reported that Supt. Hansel Marantan, the deputy intelligence chief of the Calabarzon police, who was in command of the checkpoint and the operation dubbed as case operation plan [Coplan] Armado, has a sister Selena “Tita” Marantan-Dinglasan, who controls jueteng operations in Calamba, Sta. Rosa, Binan, and San Pedro in Laguna. Apparently, the killings were done to eliminate Siman, the bitter rival of Marantan-Dinglasan over control of jueteng operations in the province.

    FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE 1 REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 7 JUN 30 P3 :?SI First Regular Session 1 SENATE S. B. No. 21 Introduced bv SENATOR EDGARDO J. ANGARA EXPLANATORY NOTE This Act provides for the creation of an Authority that will negotiate with interested private investors and be responsible for the construction, operation, management and administration of the Quezon Canal and the Canal Zone from the Municipality of Atimonan to the Municipality of Unisan, both in the Province of Quezon. The Quezon Canal will provide a by-pass or short cut for ocean vessels coming from the eastern side of Luzon to Manila and the China Sea. It will also provide cheaper and faster transport of products from Luzon's eastern coastal towns to the metropolitan markets. The Canal will increase the volume of inter-island shipping and trade between, the coastal towns of Quezon, Marinduque, Mindoro, Batangas and Bicol Region. The untapped regions north of the Province of Quezon and the marine resources of Lamon Bay, Polillo Strait and Tayabas Bay will be open to development. The Canal Zone is envisioned as a major transhipment center to and from the United States, Japan and the ASEAN countries. Export processing facilities and light industries in the Canal Zone will boost our export potential and increase our industrial productivity. It will contribute immensely to the growth of our country's international trade and commerce. Furthermore, the Canal will stimulate the growth of tourist centers in the region. The Canal will increase the capability of the Philippine coast Guard to patrol and safeguard our eastern coastline.
