Bulacan Gov endorses 'green' technology for Bustos Dam

By Manny Balbin July 30, 2020, 4:50 pm

BUSTOS, Bulacan – Governor Daniel R. Fernando has endorsed to the National Irrigation
Authority (NIA) the potential use of "green" or environmentally sustainable technologies that
would enhance the capacity of Bustos Dam, similar to those used in developed countries,
where dams are built to last for a hundred years and more.
This was disclosed by the governor following his monitoring and inspection of the
installation of the coffer dam using steel sheets and sand bags, the remedial measure

2
undertaken by the contractor on the rubber gate at Bay 5 of Bustos Dam located in
Barangay Tibagan, Bustos town, this province on Thursday morning.
"Ang mahalaga kasi dito mapabuti ang sitwasyon ng Bustos
Dam para hindi makaapekto sa mga tao, sa mga Bulakenyo.
Binibigyan po natin ito ng pagsubaybay. Gusto kong bigyan ng
positibong pananaw ang mga tao na ‘wag silang matakot, gusto ko
silang bigyan ng assurance through sustained action and monitoring na
tayo ay nakabantay sa kanilang kaligtasan sa lahat ng sandali.” (What
is important here is for the Bustos Dam to be in good condition so that
it will not cause fear to the people, to the Bulakenyos. We are
monitoring this. I want to give the people a positive perspective that
they should not be afraid. I want to give them assurance through
sustained action and monitoring, that we are on guard of their safety at
all times)," he said in a media interview.
Fernando said even if only one of the six rubber gates collapsed, he is consistently
coordinating with NIA and pushing for the rehabilitation of all the rubber bladders using
quality materials, which the provincial government of Bulacan, the NIA, and the contractor
have agreed to.
NIA’s Design and Specifications Division, for its part, expressed gratitude for the
governor’s initiative in considering new technologies to ensure that dam construction and
repairs meet the stringent requirements of safety.
Two years after its rehabilitation, the rubber gate on Bay 5 of Bustos Dam collapsed
on the first week of May this year.
The provincial government, in close coordination with NIA and other concerned
agencies, immediately implemented remedial measures but actual replacement of rubber
gate No. 5 will be in November or December of this year.
Meanwhile, Liz Mungcal, chief of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Office (PDRRMO), said the water elevation of Angat Dam is slowly sliding
down towards its minimum operating level of 180 meters.
PDRRMO data showed that as of 8 a.m. on Thursday, the water level of Angat Dam
was at 180.94 meters.
On the other hand, Bustos Dam, which is located downstream of Angat Dam, had
reached its spilling level of 17.34 meters during the past several days but was monitored at
17.14 meters on Thursday morning.
Previously, the spilling level of Bustos Dam was half-a-meter higher but when its
Rubber Gate No. 5 collapsed on May 5 and rehabilitations works were implemented, its
spilling level was lowered to the 17-meter mark to lessen the water tension on the other five
rubber gates. (PNA)

The news article you just read contains different information presented by the reporter
from different sources. As a member of society, we listen and read different information from
different sources daily and this news article is just one of those. There are information from
books, interviews, debates, editorials, even from music and artworks. These information
form part in our decisions and undertakings that affect our lives. That is why we need to
know how to judge the validity of information given to us. In doing so, aside from knowing
the difference between bias and prejudice, we also need to know the importance of and the
difference between primary and secondary sources of information.

What is It

Judging the Validity of the Evidence Listened to

Distinguishing Primary and Secondary Sources

During the transfer of information whether thru reading or listening, determining

primary and secondary sources is very important. This will help us analyze better the
information that we read or hear. In addition, it will help us decide whether we will be
persuaded or form an argument for or against what we read or heard.

What is a primary source?

Primary sources provide a first-hand account or evidence of an event, time, object,

person or even work of art and are considered authoritative. They represent original thinking,
reports on discoveries or events, or they can share new information. Often, these sources
are created at the time the events occurred, but they can also include sources that are
created later. Primary sources provide the original materials that enable us to get as close as
possible to what happened during a particular event or time. Published materials can be
viewed as primary sources if they come from the time that is being discussed and were
written or produced by someone with firsthand experience of the event. Often, primary
sources reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer. Primary sources can be
written or non-written (sound, pictures, artifacts, etc.) as long as they provide raw information
and first-hand evidence.
In exploring how an event affected people at a certain time, newspaper
editorial/opinion pieces are considered a primary source. A scientific research, present
original thinking, report on discoveries, or share new information and can therefore be used

4
as a primary source. Autobiographies, diaries, personal letters, and correspondence were
written by people with firsthand experience of an event and are very good samples of
primary sources.
If you were to talk about the past in your speech, argumentative essay or persuasive
essay, you cannot directly access it yourself, so you need primary sources that were
produced at the time by participants or witnesses (e.g. letters, photographs, newspapers).
If you were to include something current, your primary sources can either be
data that you collect yourself (e.g. through interviews, surveys, experiments) or sources
produced by people directly involved in the topic (e.g. official documents or media texts).

Field/Topic Primary Source

• Letters and diaries
• Photographs and video footage
History • Official documents and records
• Physical objects

• Novels and poems

Art and Literature
Communication
and Social Studies
Law and Politics
Sciences
• Paintings and art installations
• Films and performances
• Interview transcripts
• Recordings of speeches
• Newspapers and magazines
• Social media posts
• Court records
• Legal texts
• Government documents
• Empirical studies
• Statistical data

Examples of primary resources include:

• Autobiographies and memoirs
• Diaries, personal letters, and correspondence
• Interviews, surveys, and fieldwork
• Internet communications on email, blogs, listservs, and newsgroups
• Photographs, drawings, and posters
• Works of art and literature
• Books, magazine and newspaper articles and ads published at the time
• Public opinion polls
• Speeches and oral histories
• Original documents (birth certificates, property deeds, trial transcripts)
• Research data, such as census statistics
• Official and unofficial records of organizations and government agencies
• Artifacts of all kinds, such as tools, coins, clothing, furniture, etc.
• Audio recordings, DVDs, and video recordings
• Government documents (reports, bills, proclamations, hearings, etc.)
• Patents
• Technical reports

5
What is a secondary source?

Secondary sources offer an analysis, interpretation or a restatement of primary

sources and are considered to be persuasive. They often involve generalization, synthesis,
interpretation, commentary or evaluation to convince the reader of the creator's argument.
They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources. In short, they describe, discuss,
interpret, comment upon, analyze, evaluate, summarize, and process primary sources, often
lack the freshness and immediacy of the original material. On occasion, secondary sources
will collect, organize, and repackage primary source information to increase usability and
speed of delivery, such as an online encyclopedia. Like primary sources, secondary
materials can be written or non-written (sound, pictures, movies, etc.).
When you cite a secondary source, it’s usually not to analyze it directly. Instead,
you’ll probably test its arguments against new evidence or use its ideas to help formulate
your own.
Examples of secondary sources include:
• Bibliographies
• Biographical works
• Reference books, including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and atlases
• Articles from magazines, journals, and newspapers after the event
• Literature reviews and review articles (e.g., movie reviews, book reviews)
• History books and other popular or scholarly books
• Works of criticism and interpretation (literature, art works or music)
• Commentaries and treatises (newspaper editorial/opinion pieces)
• Textbooks
• Indexes and abstracts
• journal articles that comment on or analyze research
• books that interpret, analyze
• political commentary
• dissertation

Primary and secondary categories are often not fixed and depend on the topic or
purpose of the speech or essay you are undertaking. For example, newspaper
editorial/opinion pieces can be both primary and secondary. If exploring how an event
affected people at a certain time, this type of source would be considered a primary source.
If exploring the event, then the opinion piece would be responding to the event and therefore
is a secondary source.
A secondary source can become a primary source depending on the purpose. If the
person, context, or technique that produced the source is the focus, it becomes a primary
source.
Look at these examples:
If you are talking about the causes of World War II, a recent documentary about the
war is a secondary source. But if you are talking about the filmmaking techniques used in
historical documentaries, the documentary is a primary source.
If your aim is to analyze the government’s economic policy, a newspaper article
about a new policy is a secondary source. But if your aim is to analyze media coverage of
economic issues, the newspaper article is a primary source.

Primary vs Secondary Sources: Which is better?

Persuasive essays and argumentative essays even speeches to persuade argue or

inform use primary and secondary sources. They complement each other to help you build a
convincing argument or to prove a point. Primary sources are more credible as evidence, but
secondary sources show how your argument relates to existing facts.

Remember:

To determine if something is used as a primary or secondary source, there are some

simple questions you can ask yourself:

• Does this source come from someone directly involved in the events (primary) or
from another person (secondary)?
• Is it analyzing the source itself (primary) or is only using it for background
information (secondary)?
• Does the source provide original information (primary) or does it comment upon
information from other sources (secondary)?

Keep in mind that all primary and secondary sources must be correctly cited to avoid
plagiarism.

World Health Organization Director-General, last July 17, 2020. On a separate
sheet of paper, answer the questions that follow.

Dr. Tedros talks about the sacrifices of health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic

“The pandemic has shown us that there is no health without health workers. I was
especially touched in Madrid yesterday by a speech given by a nurse called Aroa Lopez. I
want to read you some of what she said, I quote: “We have given it our all. We have worked
to the brink of exhaustion. And once again, we have understood ---maybe better than ever---
why we chose this profession: to care for people and to save lives. We have been the
messengers of the last goodbye to older people who died alone, hearing their children’s
voices on the telephone. We have made video calls, we have held their hand and we have
had to fight back the tears when someone said, ‘Don’t let me die alone.’”

One of the other speakers at yesterday’s memorial was

Fernando Hernandez Calleja who lost his brother to COVID-
19. I want to finish by quoting him. This is what he said: “More
than kindness, more than love, compassion is the emotion that
most makes us human. Compassion allows us to understand
the pain of others, their thwarted aspirations, their sadness.
That is why I am asking, today, for your compassion.” I want to
echo Fernando’s call to the whole world. More than anything,
we are asking for your compassion.”
