Planning and Implementation of Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategies at Local Level: The Case of Cebu City 1 1.1. BACKGROUND Cebu City, historically a small fishing village, has developed into one of the most urbanized areas of the Central Philippines. The city is part of Cebu Island, bounded by the Mandaue City in the north, Talisay City in the south, Mactan Channel in the east and the municipalities of Balamban and Toledo to the west (Figure 1). Occupying a total land area of 326.10 km2, Cebu City is one of the largest growth centers in the Philippines, second only to Metro Manila, the country’s capital. Due to its strategic location and easy access by air and sea transport, information and communication technology (ICT) and tourism are propellant sectors leading the city’s economic growth. Cebu represents one of the major hubs for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) in the Philippines and is ranked 7th worldwide in the “Top 100 BPO Destinations Report (2016)” [1]. Figure 1: Location of Cebu City in the Cebu Province Cebu City’s population as of 2015 was 923,000 inhabitants; increasing 6.5% since 2010, it represents the fifth most populated city in the country (Figure 2). Total Population However, because this figure rises to over one million during daytime hours due to the influx of local workers 1,000,000 who commute from surrounding areas, Cebu is 800,000 effectively the Philippines’ second largest city. Divided into 80 barangays made up of 50 urban and 30 rural 600,000 barangays, with approximately 85% of city inhabitants 400,000 residing in the former, Cebu maintains an average 2 population density of 2,204 persons per m . Accordingly, 200,000 Cebu’s urban zone comprises 24% of the city’s total land area (78.09 km2) and rural areas make up 76% (248.01 0 km2). In terms of topography, coastal areas accounting 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2015 for 15% of the city have a relatively flat terrain whereas Figure 2: Total population and annual growth rate of Cebu 85% of the city have elevations ranging from 40 to 400 City, Metro Cebu, Province and the Philippines m above sea level [2]. 1.2.

Moreover, each barangay is city generated roughly 212 tons/day of municipal responsible for collecting waste within their respective waste, increasing to 420 tons/day by 2010. Although administrative units using their own vehicles or trucks there is no accurate data available on waste generation provided by the city. in the city, present estimates suggest that Cebu produces about 630 tons of MSW per day in 2016, Two waste collection methods are generally practicing based on national calculations, which consider average in Cebu City: the communal method, whereby common per capita waste generation to comprise 500 waste receptacles are strategically located in public 2 Planning and Implementation of Integrated Solid Waste Management Strategies at Local Level: The Case of Cebu City areas, as well as individual household collection carried out by garbage trucks.

  • The Duterte Bloodline
    The Duterte Bloodline Saturday, 05 December 2015 21:43 By Antonio V. Figueroa The Dutertes, one of the political clans in Davao Region, historically come from Cebu. Oral tradition points out that there were actually two Duterte clans in that province, one from the south and the other from the north. The Davao lineage, accordingly, traces its roots to northern Cebu, to couple Facundo Duterte and Zoila Gonzales whose marriage bore five children, namely: Ramon, Sr. who was married to Rosario Regis of Carcar; Mariano tied the knot with Salud Calvo; Soledad wedded Epifanio Rodis; Jorge married Estefania Dacayana; and former Davao governor Vicente, fondly called ‘Teti’ but known as ‘Nene’ in Danao City, became the husband of Soledad Roa, mother of Davao City mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte. A half-brother, the illegitimate son of Facundo, was Adolfo Enriquez, who took the surname of his mother as was the practice then. He lived in Cavite. Ramon, born on Dec. 23, 1901 in Danao City, was fondly called ‘Lolo Banawa’; he earned his Bachelor of Laws from the Philippine Law School in 1925. Three decades later, he was elected vice mayor of Cebu City, with Sergio Osmeña Jr., his running mate, as mayor. He took over as city chief executive (Sept. 13, 1957-Dec. 31, 1959) when Osmeña resigned to run for Congress. Aside from becoming a judge of the Court of First Instance, Ramon was also a Law professor at the University of the Visayas and the University of Southern Philippines. A Cebu City street was named after him by virtue of City Ordinance No.

The transition of the traditional Sinug dance to the contemporary Sinulog dance was ignited by the change of external factors indicated in the Theory of Cultural Transition.

Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs 3/2016: 111–137 The Spectacle of Violence in Duterte’s “War on Drugs” Danilo Andres Reyes Abstract: This article argues that, in Duterte’s “war on drugs”, state power is exercised through the body in a spectacle of humiliation and violence. The analysis draws from the work of Foucault (1979) on the political value of a spectacle of the body to explain the distinctive character of Duterte’s violent war on drugs; of Feldman (1991) on the use of the body as an object in which violence is embodied to send political messages; of Agamben (1995) on eliminating life supposedly devoid of value; and on Mumford et al.
