Mercado and Carmel P. Chammag1 1. Introduction BLIST stands for Baguio, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan and Tuba, contiguous areas in the regional center of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). The BLIST is not a geopolitical entity but a planning area. When the Regional Physical Framework Plan of CAR was formulated in 1990, the BLIST was identified as a major subregional area due to the fast urban growth of Baguio City influencing the adjacent municipalities most especially, La Trinidad. The other municipalities close to the city are showing potentials of being the catchment area for Baguio’s rapid growth. The BLIST currently plays a key role in the development of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and the Northern Luzon as the educational, tourism and commercial center. The BLIST area is also one of the growth nodes of the North Western Luzon Growth Quadrangle (NWLGQ). The NWLGQ is a growth area being promoted as an economic and tourism zone linking the coastal provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, la Union and Pangasinan with the BLIST in Benguet Province of CAR. Serious planning for the BLIST area has been undertaken in view of the need to rehabilitate Baguio City which was seriously damaged by the earthquake in 1990. It was thought then that rehabilitating the city should go beyond restoration and address the city’s long-term reconstruction. This necessitates a deliberate attempt to plan for the city’s development considering its future interaction as well as integration with its neighboring areas. Metro BLIST is a new term being introduced to call the Urban BLIST. The term that was originally used was Metro Baguio but was received with strong negative reaction because it seems to leave the impression that the other areas are just extensions of Baguio City. This paper reviews the developments and challenges of Metro BLIST with focus on the needed steps to take to deal with its present and future concerns. 1 Research Associate, Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) and Senior Economic Development Specialist, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Cordillera Administrative Region, respectively. The views expressed in this paper are solely of the authors and not of the institutions they represent. 1 2. Development Trends in Metro BLIST 2.1 Demographic and Land Characteristics The population of Metro BLIST is less than half a million in 1995 distributed quite unevenly with about 59 percent in Baguio City (Table 1). Population growth rate in the whole area is a little higher than the national average. However, this average rate is unevenly distributed across each of the political units. While Sablan is growing at a modest rate of 1.67, Baguio and La Trinidad are experiencing very rapid growth of more than four percent. In contrast, Itogon and Tuba are losing population, quite rapidly in the former. Population density in Baguio City and La Trinidad are high relative to other municipalities owing to the smallness of their land area while being home to three fourth of the entire metropolitan population.

Source of BDUPP report is DENR – CAR Geology Division, Land Use Map, 1:50,000 scale, December 1991. Particular land uses would reveal the physical development features of areas composing Metro BLIST (Table 2). Average rates for the entire BLIST area do not accurately represent the land use features of Baguio City and La Trinidad. These areas have definitely larger built-up areas (almost half of the total land area in Baguio City) and smaller forest lands. On the other hand, grasslands and forest lands dominate land 2 BLIST Location Map uses in the three other municipalities. Pressures of urbanization and urban development are expected to be experienced in the BLIST areas especially within Baguio City and La Trinidad. 3. The BLIST Master (Structure) Plan A master plan has been prepared for the development of what soon will become a Metro BLIST. This plan is essentially a structure plan which connotes greater flexibility than a master plan which is conceptually static and fixed. The Urban BLIST plan was prepared in 1993 by a joint group of European and Filipino consultants following the July 1990 earthquake. While expectedly, future urbanisation will be more increasingly felt in Baguio City and La Trinidad, the plan considered a larger planning area in view of the influence and integration of development of other areas surrounding them. Thus, Itogon, Sablan and Tuba along with Baguio and La Trinidad formed part of the larger urban planning area. Completed in October 1994, the Plan has already influenced planning and investment programming of local government units as well as regional institutions including the Regional Development Council (RDC, which is the Cordillera Executive Board, Cordillera Regional Assembly, Regional Line Agencies acting as the RDC of CAR), the government line agencies. Since its formal launching in 1994 with the President as audience, the BLIST Urban Master Plan has influenced the contents of the development plans of the region and LGUs (Benguet Province and the BLIST LGUs) as these plans now considered the BLIST concepts or proposals. In addition, programs and projects found in the Plan has become a handbook for program pr project proposals in the area. Consistency with the Plan has become one of the suggested acceptance criteria for these proposals. The formulation of the Plan was not an easy undertaking. It was met with strong resistance and open criticism all throughout the stages of its development from various sectors even among BLIST member-municipalities. Impressions were articulated that BLIST planning was a strategy for Baguio City to transfer the city’s problems to its neighbours. Some raised that urban concerns are not as important to the municipalities of Itogon, Sablan and Tuba than it is to Baguio and La Trinidad. In view of these views expressed, public consultations and information dissemination were undertaken to clarify the objectives of the planning activity and to raise awareness about the need for integrated planning as well as to involve as many sectors in plan formulation and decisionmaking.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper.
