DESIGN ACTIVITY #1: INTRODUCTION TO TELEPHONE SYSTEM DESIGN

I. OBJECTIVES
1. To be familiar with the telephone system design specification and considerations.
2. To be familiar with the steps needed to start a plan for a land-based telephone
system
3. To create different profiles that will serve as a background study for choosing a
target area.

II. DISCUSSION
The purpose of any telephone system is to design a full duplex communication of
voice signals. Today, the telephone system is still primarily used for voice, but it
employs mostly digital techniques, not only in signal transmission but also in control
operations.
The telephone system permits any telephone to connect with any other
telephone in the world. This means that each telephone must have a unique
identification code that provides a means of recognizing each individual number and
provides switching systems that can connect any two telephones.
The first step in the design of telephone network is to choose a viable location.
This study comprises various surveys that could justify the establishment of a need or
demand on the proposed target location.
This section of the design activity includes gathering pertinent data on the
characteristics of the target population, their economic profile, the location profile and
the perceived significance of the project to the local people and their community,

LIST 1.4: LOCATION PROFILE

1. History

Spanish period
In 1796, the gobernadorcillo or town head of San Fernando, Don Ángel Pantaleón
de Miranda, and his wife, Doña Rosalía de Jesús, along with some followers, staked out
a new settlement, which they named Culiát because of the abundance of vines of that
name in the area. The new settlers cleared the woodland and cultivated the area for rice
and sugar farming. Don Ángel built his first house with light materials at the northwest
corner of the intersection of Sapang Balen and the road going towards the town of Porac.
It was later donated to the Catholic Church and became a cemetery called "Campo
Santong Matua" (today the site of Nepomuceno Coliseum).

On 12 May 1812, the new settlers tried to make Culiat a self-governing town but
the friars resisted the move, led by Fray José Pometa. Ten years later, on 11 February
1822, Don Ángel filed a petition for the township of Culiat to secede from San Fernando,
but it was denied. This was followed by another petition within the same year, jointly signed
by Don Ángel, his son-in-law, Mariano Henson, and the latter's father, Severino Henson.
He donated 35 hectares for the construction of the first Catholic church, a convent and a
primary school while Doña Agustina Henson de Nepomuceno, the niece of who would
become the first gobernadorcillo of Angeles in 1830, Don Ciriaco de Miranda, gave land
for the new public market. Don Ángel paid the complete amount required by law just for
the secession of Culiat from San Fernando. There were only 160 taxpayers then but the
law required that it should have at least 500 taxpayers.

Located some 10 miles (16 km) north of Pampanga's capital, Culiat became a
barrio of San Fernando for 33 years and on 8 December 1829, became a separate
municipality. The newly-autonomous town was renamed "El Pueblo de los Ángeles" in
honor of its patron saints, the Holy Angels, and the name of its founder, Don Ángel,
coinciding with the rise of new barrios such as Santo Cristo (as the población or town
proper), Cutcut, Pampang and Pulong Anunas. The progressive barrios developed some
new industries like a sugar mill and a wine distillery. The transition of Angeles from a jungle
clearing to a barrio, to a town and finally to a city took 168 years and in all that time, it
survived locusts' infestations, wars, epidemics, volcanic eruptions and typhoons to
become one of the fast rising towns in the country. When it received its first official

5

COLLEGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
ECELEC4 – COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN ACTIVITY MANUAL

municipal charter, the town contained some 661 people, 151 houses and an area of 38.65
km

On 17 March 1899, General Emilio Aguinaldo transferred the seat of the First
Philippine Republic to Angeles. It then became the site of celebrations for the first
anniversary of Philippine independence, which was proclaimed a year earlier in Kawit,
Cavite. Events included a parade, led by the youngest ever Filipino generals, Gregorio del
Pilar and Manuel Tinio, with General Aguinaldo viewing the proceedings from the
Pamintuan Residence, which was the Presidential Palace from May to July 1899 (and
later was the Central Bank of the Philippines office in Central Luzon, before its ownership
passed to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines). Aguinaldo's sojourn was
short, however, for in July of this same year he transferred his government to the province
of Tarlac following Angeles' occupation by the American forces.

American period
On 10 August 1899, U.S. forces began the attack on Angeles confident in capturing
it in a few days. However, the Filipino Army defending the town refused to give in so easily
and fiercely fought back and for three months, they battled the Americans in and around
the town. It was only after the battle on 5 November 1899 that the town finally fell into
American hands. The Battle of Angeles was considered to be the longest in the history of
the Filipino-American War in Pampanga. This led to the establishment of an American
camp in Barrio Talimundoc (in what is now Lourdes Sur), located next to the railroad
station, in order to establish control over the central plains of Luzon. In January 1900,
General Frederick D. Grant organized the first U.S. Civil Government in Angeles by
appointing an alcalde or municipal mayor, beginning American rule over Angeles.

In 1902, the United States Army studied relocating their post from Barrio
Talimundoc to a fertile plain in Barrio Sapang Bato, which supposedly had better grass for
their horses. A year after that, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt signed an executive
order on 1 September, establishing 7,700 acres (31 km2) of land in Sapang Bato as Fort
Stotsenburg (which later would expand to 156,204 acres (632.14 km2) in 1908 to become
Clark Air Base). It was centered on what would in later years become Clark Air Base's
parade ground.

The Americans quickly commandeered Holy Rosary Parish Church and converted
it into an army hospital, with the choir loft served as a dental clinic. The convento, which
now houses Holy Family Academy, was the barracks for medical officers and enlisted
men. The sacristy was the only portion where Angeleños could hear Mass. When the
Americans finally vacated the church in 1904 and relocated to Fort Stotsenburg, parish
priest Rev. Vicente Lapus listed a total of US$638 for portions of the church destroyed,
looted church items and treasures, and arrears on rentals.

World War II
Hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan attacked the Philippines, targeting
the American military presence, as well as the Philippine Army, and taking over the civilian

6

COLLEGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
ECELEC4 – COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN ACTIVITY MANUAL

government. During the Japanese occupation in the country, 57,000 Filipino and American
prisoners of war passed the town of Angeles. They were forced to join the Bataan Death
March, going to Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac. Angeleños showed their sympathy by
handing them food, milk, boiled eggs, rice cakes, cigarettes, and water. Angeleños
followed them up to the train station in Dau railway station in Mabalacat to give moral and
spiritual support, and even helped the escapees.

War historians considered the bombing of Fort Stotsenburg on 8 December 1941

at 12:30 p.m. as one of the most destructive air raids in World War II, because almost all
the American war planes were wrecked on the ground. In thirty minutes, the air might of
America in the Far East was completely destroyed.

On the early morning of New Year's Day 1942, the first Japanese troops entered
Angeles; they would occupy it until January 1945. During the Japanese invasion, another
type of local government was set up on 22 January 1942. During the Japanese
occupation, Clark Air Base then became a major center for staging Japanese air
operations. Japanese aircraft flying out of Clark participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf,
considered to be the largest naval battle of the Second World War and possibly the largest
naval battle in history.

Clark Air Base was recaptured by the Americans in January 1945, after three
months of fierce fighting in the Philippines. After three years of atrocities committed by
Japanese forces, the town and the rest of the Philippines were finally liberated by the
combined United States and Philippine Commonwealth troops in 1945. The building of the
general headquarters of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and Philippine Constabulary
was situated in Angeles from January 1945 to June 1946, during and after World War II.

Independence and cityhood

After World War II, the Philippines gained independence from the United States on
4 July 1946, but then would be tied to a neo-colonial relationship. The "Treaty of General
Relations" signed on Independence Day itself signified the Americans' withdrawal and
surrender of possession, control and sovereignty over the Philippines, except the use of
their bases. It was followed by the Philippine-American Military Bases Agreement on 14
March 1947, allowing the U.S. to maintain territorial integrity and sovereignty over Clark
Air Base and Subic Naval Base for the next 44 years. Clark occupied 63,103 hectares and
served as the tactical operational U.S. air force installation in the entire Southeast Asian
region that had the capacity to accommodate the U.S. military transport planes, which
served the entire Western Pacific.

Through the years, although Fort Stotsenburg continued to expand to become

what is now known as Clark Air Base, Angeles, despite its proximity to the American camp,
did not progress fast and remained small until the end of World War II. It was finally
inaugurated on 1 January 1964 as a chartered city under Republic Act No. 3700 and then
it entered a period of tremendous growth that has resulted in its present position as the
"Premier City in Central Luzon." It was then Mayor Rafael del Rosario's brainchild that

7

ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

Angeles became a city. He gained the distinction of being the last municipal mayor of
Angeles. He was assisted in the preparation of the City Chapter by Attorney Enrique
Tayag, a prominent resident of the town. Congresswoman Juanita L. Nepomuceno of the
first district of Pampanga sponsored the bill in Congress, which was approved by then
President Diosdado Macapagal, the ninth Philippine president and a native of the province
of Pampanga.

Mount Pinatubo eruption and Angeles today

On 15 June 1991, Angeles was affected by the cataclysmic eruption of nearby
Mount Pinatubo, with up to 60,000 people being evacuated from the city. It was the
second-largest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century and, by far, the largest eruption
to affect a densely populated area. The province of Pampanga, Clark specifically, were
badly hit and the agricultural lands, as well as other businesses, were covered by tons of
lahar.[19] There were no casualties reported inside Clark two days from the initial
eruption because the 18,000 personnel and their families were transported to Guam and
the Subic Naval Base in Zambales.

The eruption of Mount Pinatubo forced the leadership of the U.S. to prematurely
abandon its military installation at Clark Air Base. This is in addition to the voting by the
Philippine Senate in 1991 to no longer extend the Laurel–Langley Agreement, which
allowed the presence of U.S. military forces on Philippine territory, thus ending the long
chapter of Filipino-American relations in the history of Angeles. The U.S. military never
returned to Clark, turning over the damaged base to the Philippine government on 26
November 1991

In 1993, cleanup and removal of volcanic ash deposits began. The former base
re-emerged as Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ) approved by then President Fidel
V. Ramos on 3 April of the same year. The airfield infrastructure was improved and
destined to be the premiere airport in the country in the next five years and one of the
most modern in Asia. The creation of CSEZ has helped to offset the loss of income and
jobs previously generated by the presence of the U.S. base. Today, Angeles and Clark
together form the hub for business, industry, aviation and tourism, as well as the
entertainment and gaming center of Central Luzon. According to the Center for
Kapampangan Studies, the dish sisig originated in this city and has been on the menu
since the 1730s. Pampanga is well known as the culinary center of the Philippines. In
2018, Angeles applied to be a UNESCO Creative City, while it also applied sisig into the
UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The applications are currently being
processed by UNESCO.

2. Geography

Pampanga covers a total area of 2,002.20 square kilometres (773.05 sq mi)

occupying the south-central section of the Central Luzon region. When Angeles City is
included for geographical purposes, the province's area is 2,062.47 square kilometres
(796.32 sq mi). The province is bordered by Tarlac to the north, Nueva Ecija to the

northeast, Bulacan to the east, the Manila Bay to the central-south, Bataan to the
southwest, and Zambales to the northwest.

3. Topography

Its terrain is relatively flat with one distinct mountain, Mount Arayat and the notable
Pampanga River. Among its municipalities, Porac has the largest area with 314 square
kilometres (121 sq mi); Candaba comes in second with 176 square kilometres (68 sq mi);
followed by Floridablanca with 175 square kilometres (68 sq mi). Santo Tomas, with an
area of only 21 square kilometres (8.1 sq mi), is the smallest.

4. Soil Type

PERCENTAGE

SOIL TYPE Sand Slit Clay

Coarse Sand 94.5 2 3.5

Fine Sand 79.5 14 5.5

5. Vegetation
Candaba Swamp is located in the Candaba, Pampanga province, 60 km northeast
of Manila in the Philippines. It encompasses about 32,000 ha, made of freshwater ponds,
swamps and marshes surrounded by seasonally flooded grasslands. The entire area
becomes submerged underwater during the wet season. It dries out during the months of
November to April. Then the swamp is converted to farmland by the locals. Watermelon
and rice are usually planted, comprising the vegetation of the floodplain, together with
patches of Nipa palm and some mangrove species.

The Candaba swamp also acts as a natural flood retention basin during the rainy
season. It holds the overflow from five smaller rivers (Maasim, San Miguel, Garlang, Bulu
and Peñaranda), then drains into the larger Pampanga River.

Pampanga is a province in the Central Luzon region of

the Philippines. Lying on the northern shore of Manila Bay,
Pampanga is bordered by Tarlac to the north, Nueva Ecija
to the northeast, Bulacan to the east, the Manila Bay to
the central-south, Bataan to the southwest and Zambales
to the west. Its capital is the City of San Fernando.
Angeles City, while geographically within Pampanga, is
classified as a first-class, highly urbanized city and is
governed independently of the province.

7. Climate

Under the Köppen climate classification system, Angeles has a tropical savanna
climate that borders on a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate classification Aw/Am).
Angeles experiences two distinct seasons: a dry season from December through April,
with a wet season from May through November. From 1953 to 1991, the mean daily low
was 73.6 °F and the mean daily high was 88.1 °F, with June being warmest and January
and February being the coolest. The average annual rainfall is 78.39 inches. Typhoons
tend to approach from the east during the summer and fall. Many damaging storms struck
the city, including Typhoon Irma on 28 November 1974 (generally considered to be the
strongest one); Typhoon Rita on 27 October 1978; Typhoon Irma (the name was reused)
on 24 November 1981; Typhoon Ruby on 25 October 1988; and Typhoon Yunya on 15
June 1991 which coincided with the Mount Pinatubo blast. In July 1972, Central Luzon
experienced a month of nearly continuous rain, resulting in 96 inches falling on the plain
around Angeles.

8. Religion

10
 DE LA SALLE LIPA
COLLEGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
ECELEC4 – COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN ACTIVITY MANUAL

Most of the population of Angeles is Catholic. At least two major festivals

associated with the Catholic faith are held in October in the city. Commemorating the
victory of the Spanish fleet over the Dutch Navy in 1646, the La Naval Fiesta is celebrated
in honor of the Our Lady of La Naval de Manila with adherents believing that her
intercession was instrumental to the Spaniards' naval victory. The Apu Fiesta involves
devotees from all over Pampanga making a visit to the Apu shrine to venerate the image
of Jesus Christ lying in the sepulchre which is believed to be miraculous by believers.

9. Education

About 93.94 percent of the household population 10 years old and over in
Pampanga were literate. Literacy rate among males (94.02 percent) was only 0.17
percentage point higher than that of the females (93.85 percent). The age group 20 to 24
years registered the highest proportion (96.54 percent) of literate persons. The age groups
25 to 29 years (96.47 percent) and 15 to 19 years (96.11 percent) followed.

10. Language and dialect

11. Infrastructures

HOLY ROSARY CHURCH (Santo Rosario Church)

Holy Rosary Church (Santo Rosario Church) was constructed from 1877 to 1896
by the "Polo y Servicio" labor system, a kind of forced labor imposed on Filipino peasants
by the Spanish colonial government. It was used as a military hospital by the U.S. Army
from August 1899 to December 1900. Its backyard was the execution ground to the
Spanish forces in shooting down Filipino rebels and suspects.

BAYANIHAN PARK (formerly Astro Park)

Bayanihan Park (formerly Astro Park) is now home to a year-round mini-
amusement park and it is an ideal spot for sports and recreational activities having
basketball and volleyball courts and huge space for jogging and other recreational
activities. This is where the famous and historical "Salakot Arch" is now located.

SALAKOT ARCH
Salakot Arch is the most eminent among the landmarks of Angeles City. Building
its historical significance way back in 1978, the Philippines, under the dispensation of the
former President Ferdinand Marcos, U.S. finally agreed to establish Philippine sovereignty
over the U.S. bases and thus the Clark Air Base Command (CABCOM) of the Armed
Forces of the Philippines came into being, following the signing of a revised Military Bases
Agreement on January 7, 1979. To commemorate this unprecedented and bold event, the

11
 DE LA SALLE LIPA
COLLEGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
ECELEC4 – COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN ACTIVITY MANUAL

government constructed a special structure based upon the design of a salakot or native
hat, which soon became a widely recognized symbol of this renewed Filipino spirit.

MUSEO NING ANGELES (Museum of Angeles)

Museo ning Angeles (Museum of Angeles) is a priceless asset and a vintage circa
1920. The building is a museum piece by itself, located at the prime "Santo Rosario
Historic District" across the Holy Rosary Cathedral. This edifice was constructed in 1922
and served as the Municipio del Pueblo or Town Hall until 1998. The Museum has become
the venue of the city's cultural activities be it from the private or government sector. From
the time it opened in the year 1999, it has been a beehive of activity from exhibits, art
classes, concerts, venue for performances and climax for traditional celebrations.

Inside the museum is Balikdan (meaning "to look back") which is about
understanding Angeles City's past for the present. It encapsulates coherently our colorful
and evolving history and enabling us to arrive at our expected destination. The sections
that start with Culiat is born in 1796 and finished with the Mt. Pinatubo's fury in 1991.

CENTER FOR KAPAMPANGAN STUDIES

Juan D. Nepomuceno's Center for Kapampangan Studies houses a library,
museum of archives and gallery, research center and theater, put up by the Holy Angel
University in 2002 to preserve, study and promote Kapampangan history and culture.

FORT STOTSENBURG
Fort Stotsenburg, named after Colonel John M. Stotsenburg, a captain of the 6th
U.S. Cavalry, was the location of the permanent quarters of the American forces in
SapangBato, Angeles. It is also known as the "Parade Ground," which served as a venue
for many important celebrations by the Americans before the Philippine-American Military
Bases Agreement ended in 1991.

OLD PAMINTUAN MANSION

Old Pamintuan Mansion served as the seat of government of the First Philippine
Republic under General Emilio Aguinaldo from May to July 1899 and the Central
Headquarter for Major General Arthur MacArthur, Jr., the father of General Douglas
MacArthur. Now, the tourism office of Angeles restored the old residence and made it a
tourist spot and a venue for special occasions in the city.

CAMALIG
Camalig was built in 1840 by Don Ciriaco de Miranda, the first gobernadorcillo of
Angeles, and was used as a grain storehouse along Santo Rosario Street. It was restored
in 1980 by Armando L. Nepomuceno and is now the site of Armando's Pizza and the
historic Camalig Restaurant.

Post Office Building (Deposito) is a building that was constructed in 1899 for the
purpose of depositing religious statues and carriages of the Catholic Church, hence the
name Deposito. It was also used as the headquarter of the 11th Film Exchange U.S. Army

12
 DE LA SALLE LIPA
COLLEGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

from 1946 to 1947 and was then used as a jailhouse for recalcitrant U.S. troops during the
Philippine-American War. On February 6, 1967, the Angeles City Post Office moved to
this building. It is now the site of Angeles Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Center.

BALE MATUA (Founders' Residence)

Bale Matua (Founders' Residence), located at the heart of Santo Rosario, is
considered the oldest building in the city. It was built in 1824 by the city founder, Don Ángel
Pantaleón de Miranda, and his wife, Doña Rosalia de Jesus, and was inherited by their
only daughter, Doña Juana de Miranda de Henson. This house, which is made of high
stone and an ornate gate, nostalgically symbolizes the glorious past of Angeles amidst the
overwhelming onslaughts of modernization.

BALE HERENCIA (Ancestral House)

Bale Herencia (Ancestral House), built in 1860, is situated in Lakandula Street
corner Santo Rosario Street. It is a picturesque house with the unsavory reputation of
having been built for the mistress of a parish priest. The current owners now use it as a
banquet hall.

LIST 1.6: ECONOMIC PROFILE

The City’s economy accelerated due to various businesses, technologies and modern
highways that have been established and constructed in the city, thus trade and transport has
tremendously improved. The latest figure of commercial establishments operating in the city is
15,375. Manufacturing and exporter industries topped the operation in the city with about 90.19%
are of light and medium industries and nine and 80/100 percent (9.80%) are agro-industrial.
Angeles also has a cottage industry that includes Rattan furniture production, production of
coconuts, charcoal, and briquettes; a semiconductor industry involved in the manufacturing of
electronics and computers.

Angeles City is a fast-growing urban center in Central Luzon. With the development of the
Diosdado Macapagal International Airport as a premier international gateway, Angeles City has
a bright economic prospect. It is also centrally located in the heart of the largest agricultural region

VII. CONCLUSION

Angeles Pampanga was chosen by the group based from the data gathered. The

City of Angeles in Pampanga has a huge population of 411,634. Aside from its

population, the group also considered the number of mountainous terrain which is a

great factor for the establishment of the telephone network. The number of competitor

was very low at this area as we only have Globe Telecom as our competitor. With the

large number of population and low number of competitors and mountainous terrain,

it would be a lot easier for the installment of our sites. Overall, Angeles Pampanga is

a great place to consider upon establishing a telephone company.
