Toward Peace in the Southern Philippines
UNITED STATES InsTITUTE OF PEACE www.usip.org SPECIAL REPORT 1200 17th Street NW • Washington, DC 20036 • 202.457.1700 • fax 202.429.6063 ABOUT THE REPORT G. Eugene Martin and Astrid S. Tuminez In 2003 the U.S. Department of State asked the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) to undertake a project to help expedite a peace agreement between the government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The MILF has been engaged in a rebellion against the GRP for more than three decades, Toward Peace in the with the conflict concentrated on the southern island of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. This report highlights USIP activities in the Philippines from 2003 to 2007. It Southern Philippines describes the conflict and its background, the substance of ongoing negotiations, USIP efforts to “facilitate” the peace process, and insights on potentially constructive steps for A Summary and Assessment of the USIP moving the Philippine peace talks forward. It concludes with a few lessons learned from USIP’s engagement in this Philippine Facilitation Project, 2003–2007 specific conflict, as well as general observations about the potential value of a quasi-governmental entity such as USIP in facilitating negotiations in other conflicts. G. Eugene Martin was the executive director of the Philippine Facilitation Project. He is a retired Foreign Summary Service officer who served as deputy chief of mission at the • The Muslim inhabitants of Mindanao and Sulu in the southern Philippines, known U.S. Embassy in Manila. Astrid S. Tuminez served as the project’s senior research associate. -
Defining the Bangsamoro Right to Self Determination in the MILF Peace Process
Human Rights in Southeast Asia Series 1 144 BREAKING THE SILENCE DEFINING THE Bangsamoro RIGHT to SELF Determination IN THE MILF PEACE Process Ayesah Abubakar and Kamarulzaman Askandar The Right to Self Determination (RSD) struggle of the Bangsamoro of Mindanao, Philippines has been internationalised since its first peace process in the 1970s with third party actors being involved. However, it is in the recent Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (GRP-MILF) peace process that the idea of RSD is well articulated in several ways. An example of this is in defining development in terms of RSD. In a usual peace process, development is often introduced in the post-conflict phase soon after a peace agreement had been signed. However, in the context of the GRP-MILF Peace Talks, a new approach of starting reconstruction, rehabilitation, and development efforts in the conflict affected areas is being undertaken as part of a confidence building measure during the peace process itself. This new phase can be seen in the creation of the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA). This research will present its findings on how the Bangsamoro articulate their concepts of development and Right to Self Determination. Mainly, it discusses the creation of the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) and the worldview of MILF communities. Defining the Bangsamoro Right to Self Determination in the MILF Peace Process 145 1. Introduction The core of the conflict in Mindanao, Philippines is identity-based leading to a right to self-determination struggle. The Bangsamoro of Mindanao maintains that it is a sovereign nation and it wants to assert its freedom from the Philippine nation-state.1 Mindanao is the historical ancestral domain of the 13 ethno-linguistic tribes forming the Bangsamoro group and other Indigenous Peoples. -

Flood Risk Assessment of Major River Basins in the Philippines
International Journal of GEOMATE, Dec., 2019 Vol.17, Issue 64, pp. 201- 208 ISSN: 2186-2982 (P), 2186-2990 (O), Japan, DOI: https://doi.org/10.21660/2019.64.17155 Geotechnique, Construction Materials and Environment FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT OF MAJOR RIVER BASINS IN THE PHILIPPINES Christian Dominick Q.

Madlangbayan2 1University of the Philippines Los Baños Foundation, Inc., Philippines; 2University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines *Corresponding Author, Received: 00 Oct. 2019, Revised: 00 Nov. 2019, Accepted: 00 Dec. 2019 ABSTRACT: Disaster risk management is vital in strengthening the resilience to and reduction of losses brought by natural disasters. In Philippines where typhoons frequently occur, flood risk maps are essential for the protection of communities and ecosystems in watersheds. This study created flood inundation maps with climate change considerations under 2020 A1B1 and 2050 A1B1 scenarios for four major river basins in the Philippines: the Agno, Cagayan, Mindanao, and Buayan-Malungon River Basins. From these maps, the most vulnerable areas for each basin are identified using GIS mapping software. Sixteen inundation risk maps were generated, four for each river basin, in terms of built-up areas, roads, bridges, and dams. Results showed that the northern part of Cagayan River Basin and the central parts of the Agno and Mindanao River Basins are the most flood-prone areas, while the Buayan-Malungon River Basin will have no significant inundation problems. Suitable adaptation and mitigation options were provided for each river basin. Keywords: Disaster risk reduction, Climate change adaption, Inundation, Risk Mapping 1. -

08 Incursion of Technology the Case of the Kaliwa Kanan Dam in Tanay, Rizal
• INCURSION OF TECHNOLOGY: THE CASE OF THE KALIWA·KANAN DAMIN TANAY, RIZAL ~CTF Research Staff "/ The worldwide reorganization of industrial production brought about by changed conditions for capital expansion 1 on the one hand, and the rise of authoritarian states in the Third World on the other - serve as the context against which the nature and extent of the impact of technology in the Philippines could be better understood. It is only in understanding such a context that "development" and ''underdevelopment'' could be seen as related facets of a single process rather than separate phenomena. In the mid-fifties, a new scientific and technological revolution swept • the industrialized countries bringing forth a new basis in the international division of labor. 2 The innovations that emerged out of sophisticated high technology brought with them new conditions for the expansion of capital. 3 Technological advancement in transport, communications, data trans mission and processing rendered production control less dependent on the geographic distance of industrial locations. It became "possible to have producion units in many different locations and yet control the whole network with a global management policy from the central headquarters.Y'' Hence in the mid-sixties, a reorganization of industrial production on an international scale ensued in the form of a massive relocation of world .' market-oriented industries for the industrialized capitalist countries to the Third World. This was the beginning of a re-devision of labor on the basis of which a small number of industrialized countries and a much greater number of under-developed countries (integrated into the world economy essentially as suppliers of raw materials and occasionally of cheap labor) stood ranged against each other:'s 'The new order of the international economy has made it possible for the Third World to become production sites of light, labor-intensive industries which utilize locally available cheap manpower to produce low-cost manufactured products of luxury food for export. -

Chapter 5 Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro
Comprehensive capacity development project for the Bangsamoro Final Report Chapter 5. Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.
