EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The implementation of the Republic Act 10121 otherwise known as the Philippine Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Act of 2010 has laid the basis for a paradigm shift from just disaster
preparedness and response to disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM). The Provincial DRRM
Plan serves as the provincial guide towards the achievement of sustainable development through
inclusive growth while building the adaptive capacities of communities; increasing the resilience of
vulnerable sectors; and optimizing disaster mitigation opportunities with the end in view of promoting
people’s welfare and security towards gender- responsive and rights-based sustainable development.

Over the past several years, the province has gained a lot of attention and momentum in the area of
disaster risk reduction. Numerous projects and activities have been undertaken by various stakeholders
and agencies in DRRM. However, sustaining the positive results and scaling them up to effect rippling
positive changes in the lives of the people have been constant challenges. Threats remain. Disasters
and people’s risk to disasters are still present.

This is because the underlying causes of people’s vulnerability have yet to be fully recognized and
addressed. For years, DRR has focused more on efforts around disaster preparedness and response and
not so much in identifying the hazard-prone areas and other factors which contribute to people’s
exposure to disasters; incorporating risk analysis to development plans; building people’s capacities
towards sustainable livelihood options; and the like. Although DRR has been gaining attention among
people and institutions, complete paradigm shift from “disasters as an immediate product of hazards”
to “disasters as a function of people’s vulnerability” has not yet fully happened. Also, converging DRR
and CCA remains to be a challenge, both in understanding, mainstreaming into plans and policies,
including institutional mechanisms. Lastly, gaps in terms of increased knowledge, understanding and
capacities remain and cause a big challenge for the province in terms of DRRM.

The PDRRMP of the Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro outlines the activities aimed at
strengthening the capacity of the provincial government and the lower local government units (LGUs)
together with partner stakeholders, to build disaster-resilience communities and to institutionalize
arrangements and measures for reducing disaster risks, including projected climate risks and enhancing
disaster preparedness and response capabilities at all levels. It highlights, among others, the importance
of mainstreaming DRRM and CCA in the development processes such as policy formulation, socio-
economic development planning, budgeting and governance particularly in the area of environment,
agriculture, water, energy, health, education, poverty reduction, land-use and urban planning and
public infrastructure and housing among others. Mainstreaming also puts to forth the need to develop
common tools to analyze the various hazards and vulnerability factors which put our communities and
people into harm’s way.

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 6


Last but not the least, the PDRRMP adheres to the principles of good governance within the context
of poverty alleviation and environmental protection. It is about partnerships and working together –
engaging the participation of CSOs, the private sector and volunteers in the government’s DRRM
programs toward complementation of resources and effective delivery of services to the citizenry.

In accordance with the national and regional DRRM framework, through the DRRMP, the province
will have “Safer, adaptive and disaster resilient communities towards sustainable development.” This
will be achieved through the four distinct yet mutually reinforcing priority areas, namely, (a) Disaster
Prevention and Mitigation; (b) Disaster Preparedness; (c) Disaster Response; and (d) Disaster
Recovery and Rehabilitation. Each priority area has its own long term goal, which when put together
will lead to the attainment of our province’s over-all goal/vision in DRRM.

These priority areas are not autonomous from the other nor do they have clear start and end points. The
4 priority areas are NOT seen as a mere cycle which starts in prevention and mitigation and ends in
rehabilitation and recovery. They:

(a) Mutually reinforce each other and are interoperable.


(b) DO NOT, SHOULD NOT and CANNOT stand alone.
(c) Have no clear starting nor clear ending points between each of the aspects and overlaps are to be
expected.
(d) Are problem-needs and asset-strengths centered
(e) All point to one direction - reduce people’s vulnerabilities and increasing their capacities.

effects of disaster

The priority area on Disaster Prevention and Mitigation provides key strategic actions that give
importance to activities revolving around hazards evaluation and mitigation, vulnerability analyses,
identification of hazard-prone areas and mainstreaming DRRM into development plans. It is based on
sound and scientific analysis of the different underlying factors which contribute to the vulnerability
of the people and eventually, their risks and exposure to hazards and disasters.

Disaster Preparedness provides for the key strategic actions that give importance to activities
revolving around community awareness and understanding; contingency planning; conduct of local
drills and the development of a national disaster response plan. Risk-related information coming from
the prevention and mitigation aspect is necessary in order for the preparedness activities to be
responsive to the needs of the people and situation on the ground. Also, the policies, budget and

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 8


institutional mechanisms established under the prevention and mitigation priority area will be
further enhanced through capacity building activities, development of coordination mechanisms.
Through these, coordination, complementation and interoperability of work in DRRM operations and
essential services will be ensured. Behavioral change created by the preparedness aspect is eventually
measured by how well people responded to the disasters. At the frontlines of preparedness are the
local government units, local chief executives and communities.

Disaster Response gives importance to activities during the actual disaster response operations from
needs assessment to search and rescue to relief operations to early recovery activities. The success and
realization of this priority area rely heavily on the completion of the activities under both the prevention
and mitigation and preparedness aspects, including among others the coordination and communication
mechanisms to be developed. On-the-ground partnerships and the vertical and horizontal
coordination work between and among key stakeholders will contribute to successful disaster
response operations and its smooth transition towards early and long term recovery work.

The Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery priority area cover areas like employment and livelihood,
infrastructure and lifeline facilities, housing and resettlement, among others. These are recovery
efforts done when people are already outside of the evacuation centers.
The DRRMP recognizes that certain concerns cut across the 4 DRRM priority areas. These include
health, human-induced disasters, gender mainstreaming, environmental protection, cultural sensitivity
or indigenous practices, and the rights based approach. They are a combination of issues and
approaches that should be taken into consideration in each of the priority areas.

All throughout the DRRMP, various strategies were identified to be used in order to achieve the desired
key result areas under each DRRM aspect. These are:
 Advocacy and Information, Education and Communication (IEC)
 Competency-based capability building
 Contingency Planning
 Education on DRRM and CCA for ALL
 Institutionalization of DRRMCs and LDRRMOs
 Mainstreaming of DRRM in ALL plans
 Research, Technology Development and Knowledge Management
 Monitoring, evaluation and learning
 Networking and partnership building between and among stakeholders, media and tiers of
government

In each of the activities under the DRRMP, agency leads and implementing partner agencies and/or
groups were identified. Executive Order No. 222 of 2020 by Governor Humerlito A. Dolor, MPA,
PhD., clearly stipulates the members and the roles and functions of the Provincial DRRM Council.

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 9


Monitoring and evaluation are essential components of results-based programming in DRRM as these
will ensure that the plan’s on-time implementation and that learning from past experiences become
input to the plan altogether. Also, through monitoring and evaluation activities, appropriate and needed
revisions and/or changes can be identified, from the identified activities to the implementation
mechanisms, in case more appropriate ones are realized.

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 11


Mansalay, Tangon, Balete and Agsalin, Gloria; Bansud, Malitbog, Bongabong and Baroc, Mansalay.
The natural drainage systems generally flow eastward and empty into Tablas Strait.

The Mindoro provinces have a series of outward flowing watersheds which are interlocked in the
mountainous upper reaches and descend steeply, with the coast on each side of the island. The northern
and eastern portions of Oriental Mindoro have watersheds which formed a broad sedimentary plain
extending from the middle reaches to the shoreline, occasionally intruded by sedimentary or volcanic
hills.

From the north, the watersheds, named after the main river corresponding river systems, are Mag-
asawang Tubig, Naujan-Victoria; Baco-Bucayao, Pola; Balete, Gloria; Sumagui-Batasu, Bansud;
Bongabong, Kabilyan, Baroc, Mansalay, and Bulalacao.

There are approximately 53 creeks and rivers found in the province, with length ranging from 213 to
234 kilometers. Malbog River is the shortest river system in the province, with a length of 213 km
while the longest river system is the Nag-iba river system with a length of 234 km.

The province has two declared protected areas under the National Integrated Protected Area System
(NIPAS) category. These are the Naujan Lake National Park and the Mt. Iglit-Baco National Park
which have been declared as national parks by virtue of Proclamation No. 335 dated January 25, 1968
and Proclamation No. 557 on May 8, 1969.

The province's network of protected agricultural areas or networks of areas for agricultural
development are areas considered highly restricted to conversion to any other uses. Practically, all
municipalities of the province except Puerto Galera have Network of Protected Agricultural Areas
and/or the Network of Areas for Agricultural Development (NPAA/NAAD). The province has a total
NPAA/NAAD of 621.25 km2. The biggest NPAA/NAAD area can be found in Naujan with 191.25
km2 representing 30.78% of the total NPAA/NAAD area followed by Calapan City with 119.90 km2
or 19.28% and then by Bongabong with 47.58 km2 or 7.66%.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES

RISK PROFILE

Oriental Mindoro is vulnerable to many natural hazards due to its geographical location and other
internal disputes in some areas. It is constantly beset by disasters with high frequency of occurrence
each year, accounting to thousands worth of damages to properties and loss of lives. Disasters include
tropical cyclones, earthquake, tsunami and floods. Typhoons are the most frequent of these. An average

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 12


of four typhoons hit the province in a year. Flashfloods occur twice every five years; while an
earthquake happened in 1994 which also generated a tsunami.

Typhoon Nona was the most destructive severe tropical storm that hit the province. It happened on
December 15, 2015 and left the province with the following damages and losses: 20,894 totally
damaged and 50,306 partially damaged houses; 3,264,214,849.30 damages and losses in agriculture;
and 1,864,255,493.10 damages in infrastructure sector.

Typhoon Utor (Feria) in 2001 is the worst of these disasters that caused the loss of 223 human lives.
Two typhoons in 2006, namely typhoon Seniang and Caloy destroyed a total of 186,346 houses and
affected 81,860 families, respectively.

Flashfloods that happened in December 2005 brought damage to 304 or 71% of the total number of
barangays affecting 82,834 families or 288,464 persons. Total estimated damages amounted to PhP
325,450,000.00.

The 1994 Mindoro Earthquake with magnitude of 7.1- centered 11 km N22°W of Baco, Mindoro, near
Verde Island is the scariest disaster that hit the whole province. This earthquake generated a local
destructive tsunami. The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami killed a total of 83 people,
injured 430, damaged or destroyed 7,566 houses, entirely broken down the communications system,
disrupted water supply, knocked out power over wide areas, damaged roads, destroyed or damaged 67
bridges, and sunk numerous fishing boats.
These natural hazards brought considerable damage to lives and properties of Mindoreños amounting
to PhP 1,030,700,490.00 and have greatly affected the production and marketing of agricultural
products.

NATURAL AND GEOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS

Oriental Mindoro Geographical location accounts to the province’s exposure to disaster, thus the need
to adopt disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM).

Tropical cyclones and its sequential effects of rain and windstorms, as well as floods are the most
prevalent types of hydro-meteorological hazards in the province. Between 1997 and 2007, eighty- four
(84) tropical cyclones entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). Some of the most
devastating floods and landslides are triggered by these typhoons that happened also within this period.
The El Nino Southern Oscillation which is a periodic disaster recorded high economic costs in just a
single occurrence.

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 13


Environmental factors such as denuded forests aggravate flood risks. The pace of deforestation since
the 1930s accelerated in the 1950s and 1960s, before falling slightly in the 1980s. Even now, the effects
of loose soil and reduced forest cover from past forestry activities are felt in frequent landslides and
floods. Recent events show that the annual monsoon season in the country has brought severe flooding
in most areas. In 2011, most of the disasters that claimed the lives of people and affected properties
and livelihoods of the most vulnerable were brought about by increased rainfall which caused
massive flash flooding in areas which don’t normally experience such.

CLIMATE CHARACTERISTICS

The province has two climate types: Type I and Type III. Type I is characterized by two pronounced
seasons, dry and wet. Type III has no pronounced season, relatively dry from November to April and
wet during the rest of the year.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITION

Oriental Mindoro is a first-class province that emerges as the Regional Center of MIMAROPA. It has
a rich agricultural, tourism, and commerce industry, producing an average of 570,492.93 metric tons
of rice, 7,438.18 metric tons of corn, and 10,268 metric tons of different variety of vegetable. Oriental
Mindoro also has a wide area of coconut farms, with 1,359,373 bearing trees as of 2018, producing
191,029,218 pieces of whole nuts and 47.757 tons of copra. There is also 36,687 hectares of high value
crops producing 200,258 metric tons of which, serving 18,824 local farmers. Livestock and fishery
production also booming with 7,107.64 tons and 802.0373 of production respectively.

Oriental Mindoro is also blessed with rich history and culture and numerous natural tourist attractions,
resulting to the development of tourism sector in the province. As of 2018, there is a total of 404
accommodation establishments with 4,192 rooms and 11,351 bedding capacity, giving rise to
employment of 2,317.

Pandang Gitab or Pandango sa Ilaw is one of the famous festivals in Oriental Mindoro that is originally
celebrated every third Saturday of February. It is a popular dance which is believed to have originated
from Oriental Mindoro where the dancers balance oil lamps or “tinghoy” on their heads and on the
back of their extended hands. The traditional dance was believed to have been inspired by the practice
of sending off fishermen going to the see in the wee hours of the morning by their families, who brought
lamps to guide their way through the darkness.

In terms of commerce and industry, Oriental Mindoro has a total investment of 788,960,065.00 with
5,631 employment as of 2018. There are thirty-four (34) onsite automated teller machines and twenty-
three (23) offsite automated teller machines.

INTER-ISLAND CONNECTIVITY

Sea travel to the five island provinces in MIMAROPA can be done through the ports of Manila,
Batangas and Lucena. Inter-island sea travel would be possible through small outrigged bancas. Air
travel to Palawan, Occidental Mindoro (San Jose), Marinduque (Gasan) and Romblon (Tugdan) would
all originate in Manila.

DISASTER CHARACTERISTICS IN ORIENTAL MINDORO

The following is a list of natural hazards that hit Oriental Mindoro, with maps and corresponding
matrices of its effects in the province.

1. HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS

A. FLOODS

Floods are among the most frequent and costly natural disasters. Conditions that cause floods include
typhoons as well as heavy or steady rain for several hours or days that saturate the ground. Flash floods
occur suddenly due to rapidly rising water along a stream or low lying area.

Based on the Oriental Mindoro Historical Disaster Data (1993-2010), four flashfloods struck Oriental
Mindoro. December 2005 flashfloods occurred in almost all municipalities in the province. Only the
municipality of Gloria was not affected. This was brought about by the three-day rainfall reaching a
total of 194 millimeters and 77 millimeters on 6 December and 17 December 2005 (as reported by
PAGASA). Heavy rainfall resulted to large discharges in both Mag-asawang Tubig and Bucayao
Rivers. Family victims totaled 82,834 or 288,464 persons. Three casualties in Calapan City and
Pinamalayan were reported due to drowning. The total infrastructure damages estimated at PhP158.98
million while agricultural losses pegged at PhP166.47 million for the December 6, 17 and 27, 2005
flashfloods.

Water from Aglubang and Ibulo rivers, including discharges from smaller tributaries upstream merged
at the foot of the mountain between Villa Cerveza, Victoria, and San Andres Putik, Naujan. The
confluence of Aglubang and Ibulo rivers formed the Mag- asawang Tubig River in the area at the
transition from the mountainous terrain to sprawling floodplains of Naujan, Calapan and parts of

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 23


Victoria and Baco. During high water discharge, considerable water volume of flow from Mag-
asawang Tubig River was diverted to Bucayao River.

The diversion of water occurred in two locations at the western bank of Mag-asawang Tubig River:

a) just above the point of confluence of Aglubang and Ibulo Rivers due to greater flow
contribution, hence, greater momentum and flow of water from Aglubang River, and
b) opposite Muyod in Villa Cerveza, Victoria as the flow was deflected by the solid high ground
flows diverted from Mag-asawang Tubig merged further downstream and eventually joined
the flow in Bucayao River.

This resulted to exceptionally high water level in Bucayao River beyond its capacity and breached the
dike due to scouring at the curved section of the river in Sitio Buhuan of Barangay Comunal in the
City of Calapan. As a result, the large volume and uncontrollable flow of water spilled over the areas
of Calapan City, Naujan and some parts of Victoria and Baco, causing flooding in above-mentioned
areas.

Heavy rains on 17 January 2010 resulted to the overflowing of riverbanks along Bucayao and Mag-
asawang Tubig Rivers. Said weather disturbance triggered flooding in 56 barangays of the
municipalities of Naujan and Baco affecting 1,875 and 2,277 families respectively. Five barangays in
the municipality of Victoria and Calapan City were also affected by flashflood with 1,724 families or
8528 persons. With this disaster two people were reported dead and 346 injured. Total damage to
infrastructure facilities and agricultural crops/livestock amounted to PhP27.81 million and PhP0.69
million, respectively.

In the early morning of 8 October 2010, flashflood occurred in Pinamalayan due to continuous heavy
rains. Four barangays were affected namely: Pagalagala, Nabuslot, Sto. Niño and Anoling. A total of
seven families comprising 35 persons were affected and one person was reported dead. Agricultural
damage pegged at PhP6.94 million.

On December 15, 2015, Typhoon Nona devastated the province and caused floodings in various
barangays. Heavily affected were the communities of Arangin, Mulawin, Masagana and Evangelista
in Naujan. In the case of Barangay Bayanan in Baco, the waters that came from the mountains are
supplemented with boulders that erased their entire community. The whole municipality of Baco was
submerged in water during the onslaught of Nona. Rainfall amount of the said typhoon was registered
at 493 mm, which according to PAGASA the said amount should have been an accumulated rainfall
amount for one month but was poured by Nona for only eight hours.

HAZARD CHARACTERIZATION

Most of the surveyed areas by Mines and Geosciences Bureau are situated on a flat to very gently
sloping terrain traversed by numerous braided and meandering streams. Among these prominent rivers
posing immediate hydrologic hazards in the area are Bucayao and Mag-asawang Tubig Rivers that
flow in the alluvial plain of Calapan, Naujan and Victoria; and the Bongabong and Baroc Rivers in
Bongabong and Roxas, respectively.

Highly susceptible areas for flooding in the form of overbank river flooding and sheet flooding are
confined with the floodplain and on the downstream most portions of the river systems inundation
levels way from 0.5 to more than 1.0 meter in depth.

A total of 176.72 square kilometers in the municipalities of Baco, Bulalacao, Naujan, Pinamalayan,
Puerto Galera and San Teodoro are identified as none susceptible to flooding. All municipalities of
the province have susceptibility levels from none - low and low - low to moderate; and moderate -
moderate to high with total land areas of 1,316.71 and 1,464.07 square kilometers, respectively.
Calapan City and the municipalities of Baco, Bansud, Bongabong, Gloria, Naujan, Pinamalayan, Pola,
Roxas and Victoria are identified as highly susceptible to flooding with a total land area of 495.94
square kilometers.

Figure 1
FLOOD SUSCEPTIBILITY MAP

Riverbank erosion and channel migration due to heavy river siltation are highly noticeable near the
mouth of rivers.

Regional geomorphology shows that Naujan and Victoria are found under alluvial fan conditions and
Roxas under deltaic conditions geologic environments formed under these conditions are highly
vulnerable to flooding.

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 27


Low-lying areas confined along the periphery of Naujan Lake are subject to inundation attributed to
swelling of the lake water rise to excessive surface water inflows from the rivers; much of the rivers at
the nearby areas drain their water into this lake.

Flooding in low-lying areas near the coast of eastern Mindoro is attributed to abnormal sea tidal
fluctuation. Mass movement hazards were likewise identified on steep slopes in the southern
mountainous portion of the province, particularly near the Central Mindoro Fault.
Susceptible areas are mostly underlain by fractured and weakened limestone deposits which are found
in Sitio Tagudtod in Manaul, Mansalay while some over changing rock units were also observed in
barangays of San Vicente, Roxas and San Roque, Bulalacao especially in Sitios Namalayan and
Dangkalan.

3. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS

A. EARTHQUAKE AND RELATED HAZARDS

Earthquake is the shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by rapid movement of the Earth’s rocky outer
layer. Tsunami is the related hazard of earthquake and is defined as a large destructive ocean wave
caused by an underwater earthquake or another movement of the Earth’s surface.

There are two documented occurrences of tsunamis in Oriental Mindoro. The first tsunami occurred
in March 1675 which affected the coastal areas of Pola. The second is the November 15, 1994 Mindoro
earthquake which affected all the municipalities in the province. The earthquake occurred at 03:15AM
(local time) with magnitude 7.1 and an epicenter of 13.5° N, 121.1° E, and a hypocenter of 15 km. This
was tectonic in origin, related to movement along zones of weakness transecting the Philippine
Archipelago along an active fault which is now called as Aglubang River Fault. The tsunami totally
destroyed 1,530 houses and killed 41 people. Approximately five minutes after the tremor, tsunami
waves struck along a 40 km stretch of the northern and eastern shoreline of Mindoro Island, from
Puerto Galera up to Pinamalayan. As per official report of the Provincial Social Welfare and
Development Office (PSWDO), about 22,452 families were affected. Casualties numbered 83
confirmed dead and 430 injured. The municipality of Baco sustained the biggest number of casualties,
with 41 confirmed deaths from drowning due to the tsunami that hit the coastal area of Malaylay, San
Andres, Baco. The capital town, Calapan, has the second most number of casualties, with 17 deaths
from Barangay Wawa, also a coastal area. Almost half of the casualties were children below 10 years
old who were drowned. Damage to property include some 7,566 houses: 1,530 totally and 6,036
partially washed away by tsunami. The municipalities of Calapan and Baco had the biggest number of
totally destroyed houses. However, Naujan and Gloria had the biggest number of partially damaged
houses with 2,204 and 1,138 houses, respectively. Damaged infrastructure includes 24 bridges, 8 of
which were rendered impassable for days, isolating villages and towns in the interior. Roads with a
combined span of 500 km likewise sustained damage. The main pier and adjacent terminal building
at Calapan Harbor was damaged, limiting ferry access for a period immediately after the earthquake
(EERI, 1995). Three major power plants, two in Luzon Grid and one in Visayas, tripped during the
earthquake causing brown outs in Mindoro Island and parts of Leyte and Samar. Some areas in Metro
Manila also experienced brief power interruption. In Calapan, the floating 7.2 megawatt power barge
was swept inland by the tsunami. This ran aground 2 kilometers away from its original location. Water
supply was also disrupted due to ruptured water lines and the lack of electricity to run pumps. Power
was partially restored in Mindoro before the end of November, but it took another month before the
power situation in the province was normalized. Total cost of rehabilitating damaged buildings and
infrastructures is placed at PhP5.15 million.

HAZARD CHARACTERIZATION

Studies of historic earthquakes provide basic background for projecting future seismic hazards and
losses. A map of historic earthquakes of Magnitude 7.7 and earthquake catalogs are listed in the Rapid
Earthquake Damage Assessment System of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
user database.

PHIVOLCS map was used to create earthquake induced hazards map of the province generated by
NEDA IV-B in coordination with the Provincial Planning and Development Office.

The earthquake generators that may affect the province include the Lubang Fault, East Mindoro Trench
and the Manila Trench based on the tectonic map of the country. Active faults in the province are the
Aglubang River and Central Mindoro Faults. Raster based iteration maps are reprojected to UTM
Zone 51, Luzon Datum, converted to vector format and processed using ArcGis 9.3. PHIVOLCS
Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) from one to 10 is used as the unit of categorization on the severity

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 30


of earthquake effects in the Philippines. A scale of seismic intensity is a way of measuring or rating
the effects of an earthquake at different sites.

Figure 2
LANDSLIDE HAZARD SUSCEPTIBILITY MAP

Most of the coastal areas and the alluvial plains of the northeastern part of the province are considered
vulnerable to flooding/liquefaction and lateral spreading. The narrow zone extending 500 meters on
both sides of the active faults is also vulnerable to liquefaction.

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 31


In historical large-magnitude earthquakes, lateral spreading have been a very damaging type of ground
failure. When a subsurface soil deposit liquefies, intact blocks of surficial soil can move down slope,
or toward a vertical free face, even when the ground surface is nearly level. A lateral spread is defined
as the mostly horizontal movement of gently sloping ground (less than 5% surface slope) due to
elevated pore pressures or liquefaction in underlying, saturated soils.

GROUND SHAKING HAZARD

The first main earthquake hazard is the effect of ground shaking. Earthquakes send a number of
seismic waves that cause the ground to vibrate. Intensity of shaking varies depending on a number of
factors namely earthquake magnitude, distance from the epicenter, and degree of ground consolidation
and thickness of soil overburden. Ground shaking as a result of a shallow seated and large magnitude
earthquake leads to other secondary hazards such as liquefaction, ground rupture along faults and
landslides, fires and toppling of buildings which may result to deaths, property damage and sort to long
term effects to the economy.

Ground shaking hazard map of the province (Fig. 3) depicts the active faults of Aglubang River and
Central Mindoro; and the earthquake generators near the province such as the Lubang Fault, East
Mindoro Trench and the Manila Trench.

In order to identify the maximum ground shaking levels that the province may experience during large
magnitude shallow seated earthquakes three worst case scenario iterations were created using the Rapid
Earthquake Damage Assessment System-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. Raster
based iteration maps are reprojected to UTM Zone 51, Luzon Datum, converted to vector format and
processed using ArcGis 9.3.

Areas affected are the municipality of Puerto Galera and the Verde Island with Intensity VI.

LIQUEFACTION HAZARD

Buildings can even sink into the ground if soil liquefaction occurs. Liquefaction is the mixing of sand
or soil and groundwater (water underground) during the shaking of a moderate or strong earthquake.
When the water and soil are mixed, the ground becomes very soft and acts similar to quicksand. If
liquefaction occurs under a building, it may start to lean, tip over, or sink several feet. The ground
firms up again after the earthquake has past and the water has settled back down to its usual place
deeper in the ground. Liquefaction prone areas can be found in beach zones, sand pits, sand bars,
tombolos, wide coastal plains, deltaic plains, flood plains, abandoned river meanders, former beds,
former or existing marshland, and swamplands. Areas underlain by lahar deposits, especially those
that will preferentially receive the finer sandy fractions of active lahar flows are also susceptible to
liquefaction (Punongbayan, 1998).

Liquefaction hazard map of the province of Oriental Mindoro (Fig. 4) indicates the areas prone to
liquefaction at varying susceptibility levels. The liquefaction potential categories shown on this map
depend on the probability of having an earthquake within a 100-year period that will be strong enough
to cause liquefaction in those zones. High liquefaction potential means that there is a 50% probability
of having an earthquake within a 100-year period that will be strong enough to cause liquefaction.
Moderate means that the probability is between 10% and 50%, low between 5 and 10%, and very low
less than 5%.

The map shows the liquefaction hazard in the city and municipalities of Oriental Mindoro for a
magnitude 7.7 earthquake with an average depth of 25.8 km. The map predicts the approximate
percentage of each designated area that will liquefy and show surface manifestations of liquefaction.
It also depicts the hazard at a regional scale and should not be used for site-specific design and
consideration. Subsurface conditions can vary abruptly and borings are required to address the hazard
at a given location. Some areas in the all municipalities and component city of Oriental Mindoro will
have moderate to low susceptibility.

EARTHQUAKE INDUCED LANDSLIDE HAZARD

Earthquake triggered landslide is an earthquake associated hazard as a result of severe ground shaking
leading to slope failure. These can be in the form of rapidly moving detached masses and bits of pieces
of soil and rock materials. In general, steep slopes with weathered bedrock or soft rock units, hilly to
mountainous areas exposed to high precipitation rate slopes modified by road cuts, quarrying

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 35


operations, river erosion and denuded forests are areas highly prone to landslide occurrences
(Punongbayan, 1998).

Earthquake induced landslide hazard map (Fig. 5) was produced by generating three iterations based
on the identified three scenario earthquakes. Raster based iteration maps are reprojected to UTM Zone
51, Luzon Datum, converted to vector format and processed using ArcGis 9.3.

The landslide susceptibility map (Fig. 6) shows that the municipalities of Puerto Galera, Baco, Victoria,
Socorro, Pinamalayan, Gloria, Bansud, Bongabong, Mansalay and Bulalacao are highly susceptible.
On the other hand, the municipalities of Puerto Galera, San Teodoro, Baco, Naujan, Victoria, Pola,
Socorro, Pinamalayan, Gloria, Bansud, Bongabong, Mansalay, Roxas and Bulalacao are moderately
susceptible to landslides. And finally, the city/municipalities of Calapan, Puerto Galera, San Teodoro,
Baco, Victoria, Pola, Socorro, Pinamalayan, Gloria, Bansud, Bongabong, Mansalay, Roxas,
Bulalacao, Naujan and Naujan Lake are low susceptible to earthquake induced landslide.

TSUNAMI

Initial tsunami modeling was performed by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS) of Department of Science and Technology (DOST) funded under the DOST – Tsunami
Risk Mitigation Program 2006 – 2007. The tsunami modeling process utilized the Rapid Earthquake
Damage Assessment System software, based on empirical records of Abe (1989), Hall and Watt
(1983), Prist (1995), Hills and Mader (1999) which allows for wave evolution over a variable
bathymetry and topographic maps of NAMRIA used for the inundation mapping to estimate the extent
to which coastal land is likely to be inundated by tsunamis. Assuming tsunami height of three meters
at coastline, tsunami inundation zones were modeled for Mindoro Island coastlines. Earthquake
parameters used in modeling is the Manila Trench with magnitude 7.2, 7.9 and 8.2. The tsunami hazard
map (Fig. 7) was developed for the Tsunami Risk Mitigation Program ‟06-„07 purpose of PHIVOLCS-
DOST but could also be used by governments as a basis for land-use planning. This indicative map is
based on maximum computed wave height and inundation using worst case scenario earthquakes from
major offshore source zones. The indicated wave height decreases away from the shoreline.

The modeled inundation depth for a three-meter tsunami is indicated in shades of red. A high degree
of agreement between the calculated inundation zone and the areas actually destroyed can be seen in

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 37


the Earthquake Tsunami Map. These areas can be found in the city/municipalities of Puerto Galera,
Baco, San Teodoro and Calapan with five-meter inundation depth. Six barangays of Puerto Galera
namely: Sinandigan, Palangan, Poblacion, Tabinay, Dulangan and Villaflor have an inundation depth
of six meters. In addition, five barangays of Roxas namely San Jose, Bagumbayan, Dangay, Paclasan
and San isidro and three barangays of Bongabong namely Cawayan, Dayhagan, and San Jose have an
inundation depth of 3.65 meters. And lastly, the barangays of the municipality of Mansalay namely
Wasig, B Del Mundo, Manaul, Cabalwa and Poblacion have an inundation of 3.72 meters.

The results of the scenario show that there are residential areas that would be hit, including tourism,
education, electric and gas utilities, health and human services, transportation facilities such as national
and municipal ports located in Calapan City, Roxas and Puerto Galera and other institutional/industrial
establishments. A total of 118,048 population and 496 square kilometers of land area would be
affected.

This tsunami inundation map was prepared to assist cities and municipalities in identifying their
tsunami hazard. It is intended for local jurisdictional, coastal evacuation planning uses only. This map
and the information presented herein, is not a legal document and do not meet disclosure requirements
neither for real estate transactions nor for any other regulatory purpose. The inundation map has been
compiled with best currently available scientific information. The inundation line represents the
maximum considered tsunami run up from a number of extreme, yet realistic, tsunami sources.
Tsunamis are rare events; due to a lack of known occurrences in the historical record, this map includes
no information about the probability of any tsunami affecting any area within a specific period of time.

Implementation Strategies and Mechanisms

All throughout the DRRMP, various strategies were identified to be used in order to achieve the desired
key result areas under each DRRM aspect. These are:

Advocacy and Information, Education and Communication (IEC) a strong national and local
commitment is required to save lives and livelihoods threatened by natural and human-induced
disasters. Achieving this will need increasing visibility and understanding of DRRM and
CCA issues, mobilize partnerships, encourage actions and gather public support for successful
implementation of the different activities. The DRRMP will use evidence-based advocacy to influence
people, policies, structures and systems in order to build resilient Filipino communities by raising
awareness, working with the media and key stakeholders. The NDRRM will develop advocacy, IEC
and various communication strategies based on risk assessments and good DRRM practices.

Competency-based capability building Conducting customized training programs should be developed


to ensure that people are trained based on the needed skills in the different DRRM aspects. Different
people have different needs and capacities and developing competency-based capability building
programs ensures that knowledge, skills and attitudes are enhanced and built upon further.

Contingency Planning more commonly used before as only part of disaster preparedness activities,
contingency planning is now a living document which is updated and used in all the different the
priority areas of DRRM. Learnings from past experiences and complementary actions between and
across areas should be taken into consideration in developing contingency planning at all levels.

Education on DRRM and CCA for ALL Mainstreaming DRRM into formal education through the
integration of DRRM and CCA concepts in the curriculum for basic education, NSTP, and bachelors’
degree programs. This also includes the conduct of DRRM and CCA training to all public sector
employees as mandated by law.

Institutionalization of DRRMCs and LDRRMOs The creation of permanent local DRRM offices and
functioning councils at the local level are some of the ways to ensure that all DRRM-related activities,
plans and program will be implemented and sustained, especially at the local level. Having a point of
convergence is important to ensure that risk reduction measures complement one another and are
institutionalized with the end in view of reducing people and institutional vulnerabilities to disasters.
This will likewise promote the paradigm shift into local planning by investing into risk-reduction
measures and not just be reactionary and conduct response operations when the disaster strikes.

Mainstreaming of DRR in ALL plans in all 4 priority areas under the DRRMP, ensuring the
mainstreaming of DRRM and CCA in the various programs, plans, projects of either national or local

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 54


government units, including the private sector groups and other members of the community is a must.
This primarily means that disaster risks analysis and impacts are integrated and taken into consideration
in the development of policies and plans by the different agencies, organizations and sectors.

Research, Technology Development and Knowledge Management With the changes in the climate and
technological advances, regularly conducting research and technology development will contribute to
more innovative and adaptive mechanisms and approaches towards DRRM and CCA. Alongside new
information, knowledge management through database development, documentation, replication and
recognition of good practices will help achieve the objectives and targets of the DRRMP through more
efficient use of resources, learning and experiences.

Monitoring, evaluation and learning Feedback mechanisms are important aspects of gauging
performance targets and learning from our experiences on the ground. The DRRMP, being a long
plan which transcends various administrations and leaderships, need to be constantly looked into in
terms of its relevance and impact on the changing situations on the ground.

Networking and partnership building between and among stakeholders, media and tiers of government
Building resilient communities cannot and should not be done by a single agency or organization. Its
success is highly dependent on the close collaboration and cooperation of the different stakeholders.
Building effective and mutually reinforcing partnerships and evolving networks ensure the multi-
stakeholder and multi-sectoral participation of the different players in DRRM.

PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PDRRMP) 2020-2022 55


CHAPTER III
MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING

Monitoring and evaluation are essential components of results-based programming in DRRM as these
will ensure that the plan’s on-time implementation and that learnings from past experiences become
input to the plan altogether. Also, through monitoring and evaluation activities, appropriate and needed
revisions and/or changes can be identified, from the identified activities to the implementation
mechanisms, in case more appropriate ones are realized. These will be led by the PDRRMO, in close
coordination with the four vice chairpersons of the PDRRMC by focusing on relevance, effectiveness,
efficiency, impact and sustainability. A standard monitoring and evaluation template will be developed
by the PDRRMC together with the members of the Technical Management Group.

Primarily, monitoring and evaluation will be based on the indicators, targets and activities identified
in each of the four priority areas on DRRM. The indicators set in the DRRMP will be applicable to
both the national and local levels. The national level targets will be monitored by the lead and
implementing agencies, in close coordination with the regional and local DRRM councils. Each lead
agency will in turn submit reports to the respective vice chairperson of the PDRRMC in charge of the
specific priority area.

The local level targets will be operationalized depending on the needs and situation on the LGU. These
will be captured in the respective local DRRM plans which the LGUs need to develop through their
respective local DRRM offices and councils. Customization of the targets will depend on the risk
assessments and analysis done in their respective local areas. The local DRRM plan will be
mainstreamed into the CDP and CLUP and will form part of the LGU mandated plans.

Throughout all activities, ensuring “Safer, Adaptive and Disaster-Resilient Filipino Communities
toward Sustainable Development” will be the main focus. It will be essential that this learning is
captured and shared amongst the various stakeholders, leads and partners. Relatedly, throughout its
implementation, reporting on the progress on the DRRMP will be communicated through various
media and partners, making sure that we are able to share the learning effectively. These will then
feed-into the DRRMP, making it adaptive to the changing environment and needs on the ground.
