Climate Analysis

The climate of Muntinlupa is classified as Type I under Corona’s classification used by

Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA),

where it is characterized by the two pronounced seasons: rainy season from May to October

and dry season from January to April.

Table 7.2. shows the Climatological Normals gathered by the station situated in NAIA,

Pasay City. The figures represent the averages as indicated by the subheadings from 1981 to

2010, which also depict the situation in the southern part of Metro Manila including Muntinlupa

City. Muntinlupa has a hot, humid weather all year round with average relative humidity of 76%,

although, it is generally cooler between the moths of November and February. The hottest

month is May when the temperature averages 28ºC. The rainy season is between June and

October, although some precipitation is possible throughout the year. The average annual

rainfall is approximately 2,000 mm with a peak of at least 400 mm in August and low of 4 mm in

March (Table 7.2.) to further understand the climate of Muntinlupa.

The future projections for the years 2020 and 2050 under the medium- range emission

scenario for Metro Manila. The climate change data derived from tables are the seasonal

temperature increase in ºC, the seasonal rainfall change in %, and the frequency of extreme

events. The tables also show the projected summary of climate changes and their effects on the

seasonal patterns.

city better than the municipalities of Laguna, which has an average relative humidity of 81%.

Typhoon

The Philippines, due to its geographical location is one the Asian countries often

affected by typhoons. It is located within the so- called “typhoon belt”. Generally, typhoon

season starts from June and ends in November. However, the rest of the months are not

entirely free of the typhoon since they are unpredictable in nature and might enter the country

anytime of the year. The mean percentage frequency of typhoon passage over the
 Rizal Technological University

C. Overview Summary

Congestion or prison overcrowding is not just a national issue but a worldwide issue as well.

Prisons, in most parts of the world are overcrowded where the prison cells accommodate more

than its ideal capacity. This seeming condition does not contribute to the effective rehabilitation

of convicted persons. In year 2013, the Republic Act No. 10575, otherwise known as the “The

Bureau of Corrections Act of 2013” was implemented to New Bilibid Prison (NBP) — one of the

premier prisons in the Philippines, for the purpose of prescribing and applying the necessary

rules and regulation for strengthening of the correctional. The state shall provide for the

modernization, professionalization and restructuring of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) by

upgrading its facilities, increasing the number of its personnel, upgrading the level of

qualifications of their personnel and standardizing their base pay, retirement and other benefits,

making it at part with that of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). With this,

BILIB IT will have a big help to achieve its purpose. The proposed redevelopment of New Bilibid

Prison is the solution to achieve these goals. Through BILIB IT, this redevelopment will be the

new perspective of NBP in promoting standard safety, security, ease of supervision and

circulation. It will also give the inmates in becoming a better person, having a new hope, new life

while inside the prison. BILIB IT will promote quality rehabilitation and reformation, by providing

normative (less- institutional, more residential like) and spatially stimulating living environment

for prisoners. It will be a solution to be capable of change and improvement. To emphasis of

design and style on how facility design reflects philosophies in correctional movements through

radial architecture, by means of promoting social interactions by prisoners from communicating

but preventing connivance with each other was thought to lead to self-reflection and remorse

and ultimately, to moral elevation with the principle of keeping prisoners in solitary confinement.

The project ensure rehabilitation programs are made available to the inmates for their physical,

intellectual and spiritual development, develop livelihood programs to assist inmates earn a

living and develop skills while in prisons. This comprise adequate living spaces and facilities and

address the basic needs of convicts incarcerated in the existing penal facilities.

E. The Proposal

There are two considered inland water bodies in the site, the Jamboree Lake and the NBP

Dam. Jamboree Lake is the most developed as it is one of the promoted tourist attractions in the

site. The project site has a good air because of the trees surrounded in the site.
