Community Exposure September 17, 2019 BEYOND LABELS, BEYOND BORDERS: International Solidarity Conference on the Rights of Climate Migrants September 17-19, 2019 | Quezon City, Philippines Community Exposure September 17, 2019 I. Location: Barangay Taliptip, Bulakan (Province of Bulacan) The 2,500-hectare coastal area of Barangay Taliptip, Bulakan, Bulacan is under threat of dis- placement due to the proposed construction of an aerotropolis which is the government’s solu- tion to the traffic congestion in Metro Manila and nearby cities. Bulacan is one of the key biodiverse areas in the country. This proposed “land development” project will directly displace 700 fishing communities and coastal families in 7 villages. The area will be cleared of 657 mangrove trees, and 24 hectares of fishing reservation area will be wiped out because of the land reclamation project. This will impact the lives and livelihood of the people in the area who rely heavily on fishing. This project also means loss of the tradition- al fish species and fish catch of small fisher folk in the province. This Philippine government project will destroy an already existing protective barrier against flooding. Should they succeed in putting up this aerotropolis, it will expose the area and its nearby cities to possible black sand mining, excavating, and further destruction which could lead to potential disasters such as flooding and soil erosion. II. Location: BASECO Compound, Tondo, Manila (Metro Manila) BASECO is a reclaimed section of the Manila Port Area, and is one of the areas that will be gravely affected by government’s reclamation projects along Manila Bay. Twenty-two (22) recla- mation projects are planned along the 22,000-hectare of Manila Bay. Aside from environmental destruction, the reclamation projects are basically big infrastructure projects meant to accom- modate big private corporations for profit at the expense of the 1 to 1.5 million Filipinos across all Manila Bay reclamation projects. The BASECO residents have strongly opposed the project, and have formed ‘AKAP Ka Manila Bay’ and have advocated for the ‘genuine rehabilitation’ of Manila Bay’s historic waters, i.e. it should not result in the forced evacuation and displacement of an estimated 300,000 informal settlers. With the support of progressive legislators of the MAKABAYAN bloc and other cause oriented groups, they are calling to declare Manila Bay as ‘Reclamation-Free Zone.’ III. Location: Isla Paglaum (Province of Cavite) In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines and claimed around 7,000 lives. It is the deadli- est Philippine typhoon on record. The aftermath of Haiyan left thousands of survivors homeless and forcibly evacuated and displaced. Government rehabilitation and reconstruction is marred by corruption and fund mismanagement which tremendously slows down the rebuilding and reconstruction efforts for those displaced by the typhoon. Community Exposure Program 1 BEYOND LABELS, BEYOND BORDERS: International Solidarity Conference on the Rights of Climate Migrants September 17-19, 2019 | Quezon City, Philippines Isla Paglaum* in Barangay Silangan 1, Rosario, Cavite is now home to some 150 families who are survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. Rosario is a first class municipality 30 kilometers south of Ma- nila. It is a coastal town known for its smoked fish and dried fish industry. The survivors and its families subsist on fishing and fishing-related cottage industries. The community, through the Typhoon Survivors Association, has agreed to host a community visit in September. *Paglaum, a Visayan word, means ‘hope’ Community Exposure Program 2.

During the virtual Pre-SONA (State of the Nation Address) Forum on Security, Justice and Peace and Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation, and Disaster Risk Reduction Clusters, Cimatu stressed the need for the Philippines to limit carbon emissions to keep global temperature rise. Climate emergency, he noted, remains as urgent as ever. “It is like the Covid-19 emergency, just in slow motion and much graver.” “The Cabinet Cluster on Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation, and Disaster Risk Reduction (CCAM-DRR) reduction has been moving in a direction where our actions today will prepare us for the current healthy emergency, future pandemic and the lobing climate crisis,” Cimatu said. “The Cabinet shall prioritize actions and investments that will reduce the long term health impacts from and increase our resiliency and adaptive capacity to both coronavirus pandemic and climate change,” he added. Under Executive Order 24, Series of 2017, the CCAM-DRR shall focus on the conservation and protection of the environment and natural resources, and shall serve as a venue for building synergy among cluster member-agencies in discussing inter-related concerns on climate change and DRR.

  • Bulacan Aerotropolis Project: Goodbye Birds, Hello Big Metal Birds
    Home Features Biodiversity FeaturesBiodiversity Bulacan Aerotropolis Project: Goodbye birds, hello big metal birds By Jonathan L. Mayuga July 26, 2020 A black-faced spoonbill. More than 20 of this endangered species were spotted in Barangay Taliptip, Bulakan, Bulacan, on January 11. With the proposed construction of the P735.6-billion New Manila International Airport (NMIA), people in the municipality of Bulakan and nearby towns in the province of Bulacan will soon be seeing more airplanes flying in the sky. The project, secured through an unsolicited proposal by the Ramon Ang-led conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC), hopes to ease air and land traffic congestion in Pasay City, where the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) is situated. Flocks of birds cover islets on Taliptip River in Bulakan, Bulacan. To be constructed in a 2,500-hectare coastal fishpond in Bulakan, Bulacan, that is about 35 kilometers north of Manila, the aerotropolis will stretch from Taliptip River Stream in Barangay Taliptip, Bulakan, to Sitio Baluarte in Obando town. The project will include a modern passenger terminal building with airside and landside facilities, as well as an airport toll road and railway. Needless to say, the national government is bent on pursuing the project, with the economic benefits of a new airport in mind—investors coming in, setting up shops triggering construction boom and generating more jobs and livelihood opportunities. Recovery effort contribution Despite the enormous challenge posed by the current coronavirus pandemic, SMC is committed to pursuing the ambitious project to help the government in its economic recovery efforts. This was disclosed during the company’s stockholders’ meeting early this month.

    11 SEPTEMBER 2020, FRIDAY Headline STRATEGIC September 11, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article Cimatu aims to increase the width of Manila Bay beach Published September 10, 2020, 7:55 PM by Ellayn De Vera-Ruiz Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu said beach nourishment in Manila Bay may help increase the width of the beaches as they are “very narrow.” Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read.

    68 MIGRANT MUSLIM COMMUNITIES IN MANILA Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies 2007 22 (2): 68-96 The Formation of Migrant Muslim Communities in Metro Manila AKIKO WATANABE ABSTRACT. The paper examines the formation of migrant Muslim communities in Metro Manila set against the Philippine government’s changing policies toward the Muslim Filipinos in Mindanao at the turn of the twenty-first century. The Muslim Filipinos’ migration to Metro Manila has been steered by kin and ethnic relations and religious tolerance. This, in turn, resulted in ethnic and economic stratifications in and among the migrant Muslim communities in Metro Manila. The paper analyzes these communities and the dynamics that structure Muslim Filipinos’ spatial movements in and around Metro Manila. KEYWORDS. Muslim Filipinos · migration · Metro Manila · communities INTRODUCTION This paper examines the formation of Muslim communities in Metro Manila1 in relation to the changing government policies toward Muslim Filipinos in Mindanao at the turn of the twenty-first century. It typifies and analyzes the various communities that have emerged in the area and the dynamics that structure Muslim Filipinos’ spatial movements. Muslims in the Philippines, also known as Moros,2 are part of thirteen ethnolinguistic groups, each with a home region in parts of Mindanao and Sulu described as the Muslim South. These areas have 3.5-4.0 million Muslim inhabitants, making up nearly 5-10 percent of the total national population. 3 The formation of migrant Muslim Filipino communities outside Mindanao has deep historical roots that became more pronounced with the armed conflict in Mindanao and Sulu in the late 1960s.

    CASE HISTORY Rev: 02, Issue Date : May 2015 BASECO RECLAMATION COASTAL PROTECTION BASECO Compound, Manila City, Philippines ENVIRONMENTAL / HYDRAULIC / COASTAL PROTECTION Products: MacTube, MacTex Woven & Nonwoven Geotextiles, Gabions Problem The Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) has pro- posed another ten-hectare reclamation project for a socialized housing at the Bataan Shipping and Engi- neering Company (BASECO) Compound, Manila City, Philippines. This project is an extension of the previ- ously constructed 256-hectare reclamation project by the PRA. The project was awarded to a FF Cruz & Construction Inc. A containment wall is needed to be constructed on the existing breakwaters to protect the area from coastal erosion resulting from effects of waves and tidal changes. The Contractor decided to look for an alternative system of appropriate materials needed to prevent erosion of the filling materials (sands) to be contained behind the existing breakwaters. Solution Despite another brand was recommended and shown as specified on plans, the Contractor - having a good rela- tionship with Maccaferri and is satisfied of the quality of Maccaferri products, sought Maccaferri’s proposal on the project. FFCCI and Maccaferri introduced the materials to the Before Construction September 2007 Project Owner for approval. Eventually, the materials were approved for the project.
