The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness analysis. By identifying important hubs in a road network, possible preparation schemes may be done earlier to mitigate random terrorist attacks, including defense reinforcement and transportation security. A case study of the Metro Manila road network is also presented. The case study shows that the most important hubs in the Metro Manila road network are near airports, piers, major highways and expressways. Keywords: PageRank, Terrorist Attack, Robustness 1. Introduction Table 1 Comparative analysis of different Roads are important access points because methodologies on network robustness indices connects different places like cities, districts, and Author Method Strength Weakness landmarks.

  • Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014
    Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser.

Throughout the country, however, there are many cultural heritage sites that are yet unknown in Japan. Today, there are three World Cultural Heritage sites and three World Natural Heritage sites in the Philippines. They include churches in reflection of the history of one of the few countries in Asia where Christians, especially Catholics com- prise the majority among other religious groups. To acquire an understanding of the state of little known cultural heritage and activities for its protection, the Japan Consortium for International Cooperation in Cultural Heritage conducted a study on international coopera- tion in cultural heritage in the Philippines in February 2013. As a multiethnic nation, the Philippines is home to diverse cultural heritage, as is also shown by the extensive collection of ethnic exhibits in museums.

  • The Mystery of Manila's Octagonal Cemetery
    The Mystery of Manila's Octagonal Cemetery While researching the Filipiniana archive (Archivo General de Indios) in Sevilla, Spain, Carmen Cano came across a plan for a cemetery. Dated 1898, the plan had laid hidden in the archive for nearly 100 years. What was unique about this cemetery, what caught Carmen's attention, was the plan's unusual shape -- an octagon. The cemetery plan also lacked the customary chapel or any reference to a nearby church. Carmen contacted me with the following e-mail: Dear Robert: I found your web while I was looking for information about cemeteries in Manila. I write to you from Sevilla, Spain, where I'm doing an investigation about Manila in the nineteenth century. I found a cemetery plan dated 1898 in the Indian Archives, here in Sevilla. It's an unpublished document which I'm studying. So I need to know if this cemetery was built (because it could be only a plan), if it exists nowadays and where I can seek information about it. I would appreciate any information about this matter. The cemetery is easy to recognize because it has an octagonal shape. Thank you, Carmen Historical Backdrop The year the cemetery plan was submitted to the Spanish government in Manila, the authorities had already been for several years embroiled in sporadic but bitter fighting with Filipino insurgents. On April 25,1898 the United States declared war on Spain and on May 1st Commodore Dewey captured Manila Bay. Under the leadership of Aguinaldo, the Filipino Nationalists laid siege on Manila with U.S.

    ~,j'fn~ttr 16TH CONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC) lll'tf,;r 11f tlll' ~'['\"tpbn'v. OF THE PHILIPPINES ) Second Regular Session ) 'i5 11AY 26 P2 :45 SENATE Senate Bill No. 2 7 8 7 Introduced by SENATOR SONNY ANGARA AN ACT TO REORGANIZE THE NATIONAL PARKS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO THE PUBLIC PARKS DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY EXPLANATORY NOTE Public parks and open spaces improve public health by providing areas for sports and recreation, as well as respite from an increasingly urbanized lifestyle. Parks also strengthen local communities, providing a democratizing space for Filipinos from all walks of life. Moreover, parks with historical, cultural or scientific significance provide tourism opportunities, thus boosting the economy. In light of these benefits, it is envisioned that there be a single, dedicated agency to plan, develop, maintain and operate public parks throughout the country. The Executive Committee for the development of the Quezon Memorial Circle, Luneta, and other National Parks in the country was established through Executive Order 30 in 1963. E.O. 69 subsequently renamed this committee to the "National Parks Development Committee", or NPDC. In 1987, the Committee was attached to the then Ministry, now Department, of Tourism by virtue of E.O. 120-A. E.O. 160 reorganized NPDC and designated its members in 1999, while the Tourism Act of 2009 reiterated that NPDC remains as an attached agency of the Department of Tourism. Currently, the NPDC is in charge of Rizal Park and Paco Park in the City of Manila. This bill seeks to reorganize the NPDC, renaming it to the Public Parks Development Authority, and define its mandate and jurisdiction, ensuring a coordinated and standardized approach to planning, development, operation, maintenance and promotion of public parks throughout the country.
