Old Balara’s chief, the elected head of the district, told Reuters he was perplexed. They were already dead, Allan Franza said, so why take them to hospital? An analysis of crime data from two of Metro Manila’s five police districts and interviews with doctors, law enforcement officials and victims’ families point to one answer: Police Philippine were sending corpses to hospitals to destroy evidence at crime scenes and hide the fact that they were executing drug suspects. police use Thousands of people have been killed since President Rodrigo Duterte took office on June 30 last year and declared war on what he called “the drug menace.” Among them were hospitals to the seven victims from Old Balara who were declared dead on arrival at hospital.

  • Final Report
    FINAL REPORT Main Text Feasibility Study of the Proposed Cavite Busway System Final Report 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Study Background Cavite is one of the most rapidly growing areas around Metro Manila. Its population was 2.1 million in 2000 and is predicted to increase to 4.1 million by 2015. This population growth, coupled with industrial and commercial development, has brought about serious traffic congestion in the area. The Cavite Busway Project has been proposed under these circumstances based on the following two studies: A. Metro Manila Urban Transportation Integration Study (MMUTIS, JICA 1999) This transport master plan for Metro Manila and its adjacent areas recommended the strengthening of public transport including mass urban transit between Metro Manila and Cavite where rapid urbanization and consequent worsening of traffic situation is being experienced. B. Cavite-Laguna Urban Development and Environmental Management Project (World Bank 2000) In consistency with MMUTIS, this study formulated transport development strategies for Cavite and Laguna, and identified transport improvement projects including the Cavite Busway Project. The Project found it very important to construct an effective public transport system for Cavite which, if successfully implemented, is expected to be a good model for other areas. In this study, all concerned local government units (LGUs) participated in a number of seminars, workshops and coordination meetings in relation to the Project. Thus, aside from the central government, particularly the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the LGUs are well aware of the Project, providing a favorable condition for its implementation.

  • Cavite Province
    CAVITE PROVINCE PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN 2011-2016 PROVINCIAL HAZARD PROFILE Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan CAVITE PROVINCE INTRODUCTION Disasters or emergencies can happen suddenly, creating a situation in which the everyday, routinely and sometimes dreary existence of a community can become overwhelmed. During crises, the Province requires special procedures to address the needs of emergency response operations and recovery management. To address such emergencies, the Province of Cavite has established a Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (DRRMP), which provides a guideline for the immediate action and operations required to respond to an emergency or disaster. The Province of Cavite has one of the most dynamic and vibrant economy in the Philippines. This could be attributed to several innate and competitive advantages it has compared to other provinces in the country. The crucial question, however, is how the Province can sustain this performance to generate far more jobs and continue to become a destination of choice for investors and tourists alike. The danger of climate change arguably presents a greater threat than what the government sees as its priorities such as education, health and poverty. If sustained growth is to take place, this challenge must be met. Specifically, we need to strengthen disaster resilience, care more for the urban environment, and confront climate change as part of the growth paradigm. In other words, planners should include disaster resilience into its growth strategies and raise the priority of urban management as a strategic thrust. This would ensure that development plans that are viewed to facilitate economic growth are designed in such a way that would attain the desired level of prosperity without sacrificing the needed balance with the environment.
