Oriental Mindoro Drrm Plan 2023 2025 Compressed

L et me extend my warmest
MESSAGE
congratulations to the people behind the
formulation of the Provincial Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plan 2023 –
2025. The province now has a blueprint for
its disaster risk reduction and management
programs, projects and activities (PPAs).
Now more than ever, preparedness

is the best weapon against the adverse
effects of climate change, the tropical
cyclones that beset us every year, and the
COVID-19 pandemic. Adding other natural
and human-induced hazards, resilience
should be our goal to protect life, property,
and economy. The next three years will
witness improved disaster risk reduction
and management (DRRM) endeavors that
are impactful and truly helpful especially
to the communities. The commencement
of the River Restoration Program, which is
based on our Flood Mitigation Master Plan,
will greatly help in addressing our flooding
problem. Various DRRM facilities, together
with the two 24/7 Rescue Centers (one in
Calapan City and one in Pinamalayan) will
bring our services closer to our stakeholders.
Purchase of additional equipment will
further strengthen our disaster response
operations. We will continue to provide
quality DRRM services to ensure the well-
being of each Oriental Mindoreño as we
walk forward and reap the fruits of our
perseverance and diligence towards a
safer and climate-resilient Oriental Mindoro!
All these initiatives call for innovative

and collective action between and among
stakeholders. I encourage everyone to
contribute and take part in this cause, and
be an active partner of the government
in attaining a resilient community.
We cannot stop the occurrence

of disasters but we can lessen its impact
by making our communities prepared
GOVERNOR HUMERLITO A.
and empowered. With the crafting of this
DOLOR, MPA, PH.D. PDRRMP, I enjoin all Oriental Mindoreños to
work hand-in-hand to be able to successfully
and effectively carry-out its programs.
Maraming salamat po at mabuhay

ang mas matatag na Oriental Mindoro!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The passage of Republic Act 10121, also known as the Philippine
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, on 27 May 2010 has laid
the groundwork for a paradigm shift away from disaster preparedness and response
and toward disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM). In this act, under
Section 2- Declaration of Policy (e), it is part of its provision to develop, promote,
and implement a comprehensive National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Plan (NDRRMP) that aims to strengthen the capacity of the national government and
the local government units (LGUs), together with partner stakeholders, to build the
disaster resilience of 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. The Provincial Disaster Risk
reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) of Oriental Mindoro adhered to the
provision, thus, developed and implemented a comprehensive Provincial DRRM Plan.
The Provincial DRRM Plan serves as the province’s handbook to achieving sustainable
development through inclusive growth, while also strengthening communities’ adaptive
capacities, increasing the resilience of vulnerable sectors, and optimizing disaster
mitigation opportunities, with the ultimate goal of promoting people’s welfare and
security through genderresponsive and rights-based sustainable development.
Over the years, the province has gained a lot of attention for disaster risk
reduction. Various stakeholders and agencies in DRRM have started numerous
programs, projects, and activities. Thus, maintaining positive results and scaling them
up to the point where they will be able to uplift and change the lives of the people in
the province has been a perennial challenge. Threats persist. Disasters and their risks
continue to exist. This is due to the fact that the root causes of people’s vulnerability
have not been fully addressed nor identified. The province still experiences massive
flooding despite all the flood control projects being implemented. Landslides still
happen. Casualties and damage to properties are still being reported in every disaster.
It poses a danger to people, especially those in the most vulnerable sectors and the
environment. Evacuation centers are available but are still insufficient to accommodate
all the affected population. The establishment of a memorandum of understanding
between the barangay and private residence owners has been deemed necessary to
address the problem of evacuation.

PLAN
These past years, disaster preparedness and response efforts has been
prioritized than the efforts to identify the hazard-prone areas and other factors that
contribute to the people’s vulnerability to disasters; incorporate risk analysis into
development plans; build people’s capacities toward sustainable livelihood options;
and the like. Although disaster risk reduction (DRR) has gained popularity among
individuals and institutions, a complete paradigm shift from “disasters as an immediate
result of hazards” to “disasters as a function of people’s vulnerability” has yet to occur.
Converging DRR and CCA remains a challenge, both in terms of understanding and
in terms of mainstreaming into plans and policies, as well as institutional mechanisms.
Finally, gaps in increased knowledge, understanding, and capacities persist, posing a
significant challenge for the province in terms of DRRM. In recent years, the province,
through the PDRRMO, has been conducting training, seminars, and workshops to
capacitate the Local Government Units (LGUs) and the Barangay DRRM Committees
in terms of disaster preparedness and response. Local DRRM offices are also allocating
funds to preposition disaster equipment and to install early warning signage in hazard-
prone areas in their localities.
In collaboration with partner stakeholders, the Provincial Government of

Oriental Mindoro’s PDRRMP outlines activities aimed at strengthening the capacity of
the provincial government and lower local government units (LGUs) to build disaster-
resilient 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 emphasizes the significance of incorporating
DRRM and CCA into development processes such as policy formulation, socioeconomic
development planning, budgeting, and governance, especially in the areas of the
environment, agriculture, water, energy, health, education, poverty reduction, land-use
and urban planning, and public infrastructure and housing. The need for common tools
to analyze the various hazards and vulnerability factors that endanger our communities
and people is also being utilized and improved through partnerships with national
agencies such as the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD), Department of Science and
Technology (DOST), Department of the Interior and Local Govenrment (DILG) as well
as local partners like the academe and private sector. Civil Society Organizations
(CSOs) who are members of the PDRRMC have been active partners of the PDRRMC
in carrying out various activities, especially in disaster preparedness and response.
They have been constantly learning new skills and participating in relief and rescue
operations.
Finally, in the context of poverty alleviation and environmental protection, the

PDRRMP adheres to good governance principles. It is all about collaboration - involving
CSOs, the private sector, and volunteers in the government’s disaster risk reduction
programs to supplement resources and provide effective services to citizens. Part of
this thrust is the nature-based solution for DRRM, which aims to conduct studies on
what tree species are suitable for growing in the Bucayao–Magasawang Tubig River
Watershed to address the perennial problem of the province in flooding.
The province will have “Safer, Adaptive, and Disaster Resilient Communities
toward Sustainable Development” through the DRRMP, which will be accomplished
through 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, according to the national and regional DRRM
frameworks. Each priority area has its own long-term goal, which when combined will
result in our province’s overall DRRM goal/vision being met.
These priority areas are not autonomous from each 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:
Page 2
(a) Mutually reinforce each other and are interoperable.
(b) DO NOT, SHOULD NOT and CANNOT stand alone.
(c) Have no clear beginning or ending points between each of the aspects,
with overlaps to be expected.
(d) Are problem-needs and asset-strengths centered?
(e) All point to one direction: reducing people’s vulnerabilities and increasing
their capacities.

The priority area of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation provides key

strategic actions that prioritize activities centered on hazard evaluation and mitigation;
vulnerability analyses; hazardprone area identification; 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. Priority programs, projects and
activities in this area are the: (a) conduct of Hazard, Vulnerability and Exposure
Assessment and Mapping in all the fifteen (15) city/municipalities; (b) installation
of early warning signage for evacuation centers; (c) construction and completion of
flood control projects provincewide; (d) review of PDRRM Plan, Local DRRM Plans
of all the fifteen (15) city/municipalities; (e) conduct of inventory, vulnerability and risk
assessments, and accessibility and gender responsive audit of critical infrastructure; (f)
reinforcement/repair/improvement of critical infrastructures such as isolation facilities,
schools/classrooms, and cultural heritage; (g) Eco DRRM which is a nature-based
solution for DRRM; and (h) insurance for disaster response volunteers.
Disaster Preparedness provides for the key strategic actions that give importance
to activities revolving around community awareness and understanding; contingency
planning; the conduct of local drills; and the development of a national disaster
response plan. Risk-related information coming from the prevention and mitigation
aspects is necessary in order for the preparedness activities to be responsive to the
needs of the people and situation on the ground. The policies, budget, and institutional
mechanisms established under the prevention and mitigation priority area will be further
enhanced through capacity-building activities and the 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
respond to disasters. At the frontlines of preparedness are the local government units,
local chief executives, and communities. Locally, benchmarking activities are done
to replicate the best practices of other LDRRMOs as well as develop capacity for
stakeholders and service providers. The regular conduct of the quarterly PDRRMC
meeting; the LDRRMO Association Meeting; and the Response Cluster Meeting are
also included. Funds are also allocated for the acquisition of prepositioning of disaster
supplies and materials, medicine, medical supplies and equipment, communication
equipment, rescue vehicles, heavy equipment, and rescue equipment, as well as the
maintenance of disaster rescue and communication equipment, including the repeater
tower. PDRRMO also conducts IEC activities, drills, and simulation exercises. It
participates in the quarterly Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) and
the celebration of National Disaster Resiliency Month. IEC materials are also printed
and disseminated to schools, communities, and other stakeholders. The province also
envisions constructing and institutionalizing an operational Provincial DRRM Training
Center. As some of the evacuation centers in the province are done with Phase I, the
Page 5
completion of these evacuation centers is also included in the PPAs. The Provincial
Operation Center has been operational with 24/7 duty to monitor weather bulletins
and updates and untoward incidents. Provision of medical assistance to planned
events and untoward incidents, activations of the All Hazard Incident Management
Team (AHIMT), and Emergency Operations Center are also included.
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 their smooth transition
towards early and long-term recovery work. Upon declaration of a state of calamity,
the Quick Response Fund (QRF), which is 30% of the LDRRMF, will be utilized to
conduct Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA), integrated and
coordinated search and rescue (SAR), damage repairs, and road clearing operations;
and to procure relief goods and non-food items for the affected families and individuals.
The Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery priority areas 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. This area focuses on the conduct of
Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) and providing non-food items, livelihood,
housing assistance, and psychosocial needs of affected families and individuals after
the onslaught of a disaster.
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.
Various strategies were identified to be used in order to achieve the desired

key result areas under each DRRM aspect. These are:
• Hazard, Vulnerability, Exposure Assessment and Mapping
• Review DRRM, CCA, and Environmental Policies, Plans and Budgets
at all levels
• Inventory, vulnerability and risk assessments, and accessibility and
gender responsive audit of critical infrastructure
• Reinforcement/Repair/ Improvement of Critical Infrastructure
• Flood Control Projects
• Rechanneling /Desilting of Rivers
• Establishment/Improvement/ Fabrication/Installation/Provision of
Forecasting and Early Warning System and Signage
• Provisions of insurance for disaster response volunteers
• Eco Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
• Strengthening of LDRRMO’s and other DRRM partners/stakeholders in
the Province
• Establishment of Provincial DRRM Training Center
• Construction/ Completion/ Improvement of Evacuation Center
• 24/7 DRRM Operation Center maintained and managed
• Improvement of Unified Command System for PDRRM Operations
Center
Page 6
• Emergency Medical Services
• Medic Assistance
• Activation of Emergency Operations Center
• Activation of All Hazard Incident Management Team
• Mobilization of Response Mechanisms
• Mobilization of Rehabilitation and Recovery Mechanisms
Agency leads and implementing partner agencies and/or groups were identified
for each of the PDRRMP activities. Governor Humerlito A. Dolor, MPA, PhD.’s
Executive Order No. 222 of 2020 clearly specifies the members, roles, and functions
of the Provincial DRRM Council. The role of the PDRRMC is very important as they
are members of the four (4) thematic area clusters that are empowered with policy-
making, coordination, integration, supervision, monitoring and evaluation functions.
The structure of the PDRRMC is in accordance with National DRRM Council which is
headed by the Secretary of the Department of National Defense (DND) with the OCD
as its secretariat and implementing arm.
Monitoring and evaluation are critical components of results-based programming

in DRRM because they ensure that the plan is implemented on time and that learning
from previous experiences is incorporated into the plan as a whole. Furthermore,
appropriate and necessary revisions and/or changes can be identified through
monitoring and evaluation activities, from the identified activities to the implementation
mechanisms, if more appropriate ones are realized.

A. ECOLOGICAL PROFILE
Oriental Mindoro is a province of the Philippines located in the island of

Mindoro under MIMAROPA region in Luzon, about 140 km southwest of Manila.
The province occupies the eastern part of the island of Mindoro. It is bounded on
the north by the Verde Island Passage, on the east by Tablas Strait, on the west by
Occidental Mindoro, and on the south by Semirara Island.
Oriental Mindoro has a total land area of 4,364.72 square kilometers (sq km)
represents about 1.5 percent of the country’s total land mass and 16 percent of
MIMAROPA region’s land mass. The biggest municipality is Naujan with an area of
528 sq km and accounts for 12.10 percent of the province’s land area. The smallest
municipality is Roxas with an area of 87.10 sq km and accounts for only 1.99
percent of the province’s land area. Naujan has 70 barangays, the most number
of barangays among the municipalities in Oriental Mindoro; San Teodoro, on the
other hand, has the least with only eight barangays. The province has a population
of 908,339 as per 2020 Philippine Statistics Authority census of population.
Based on the existing land classification system, approximately 213,429

hectares of land are classified forest land and 148 hectares are unclassified. The
2008 Philippine Forestry Statistics, Forest Management Bureau – Department of
Environment and Natural Resources indicated that of the province’s total land area,
79,299 hectares are established timberland and 85,659 hectares are established
forest reserve. National parks cover 44,289 hectares and 3,680 hectares are for civil
reservation.
There are three distinct geographical zone surfaces in the province. These
are the coastal areas covering a total length of 342.45 kilometers; the lake areas
covering 81.28 square kilometers; and the riparian areas, intermittent valleys and
ranges of mountains covering 89% of its total land mass.

The province, with an estimated coastline of 342.45 kilometers, has a total of

310,788.73 hectares of municipal waters. The municipality of Bulalacao recorded
the largest municipal water with 59,250.33 hectares and San Teodoro, the smallest
covering 4,520.20 hectares. The major rivers that traverse the province are
Bongabong, Pola and Mag-asawang Tubig, Calapan City. Secondary rivers include
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 Magasawang 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
Page 10
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 with191.25 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
A. RISK PROFILE
Oriental Mindoro is vulnerable to various natural hazards due to its geographical

location, human induced such as: fire, armed conflicts, mass murder, civil unrest, looting
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. Hazards include tropical cyclones, earthquake, tsunami
and floods. Tropical cyclones are the most frequent of these. An average of four
tropical cyclones hit the province yearly. Flashfloods occur twice every five years.
An earthquake happened in November 15, 1994 which also generated a tsunami that
killed 78 people.
Typhoon Nona was the most destructive tropical cyclone that hit the province.
It happened on December 15, 2015 and left the province with huge damages and
losses. 20,894 were totally damaged houses and 50,306 were partially damaged
houses. Damages and losses in agriculture; amounted to 3,264,214,849.30 and
1,864,255,493.10 were recorded 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 in the province.
Flashfloods that happened in December 2005 brought damage to 304 out of
426 barangays or 71% 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 N 22°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 78 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
24 bridges, and sunk numerous fishing boats.
These natural hazards brought considerable damage to lives and properties
of Mindoreños and have greatly affected the production and marketing of agricultural
products.
B. 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 tropical cyclones 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.
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.
C. 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.
D. 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.
Page 11
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 2022, Provincial Ordinance
139-2022, otherwise known as the Provincial Tourism Code of Oriental Mindoro,
declares that the annual celebration of the province’s founding anniversary shall be
known as Fiesta Mahal Tana: The Oriental Mindoro Founding Anniversary. This Festival
Showcase is an annual competition of the official festivals of all 14 municipalities and 1
city of the Province of Oriental Mindoro to showcase how religion, culture and tradition
are wreathed into their existence. The municipal/city festival, which are held annually
to commemorate the foundation of a town, or honoring its patron saint, are brought
together to highlight the Oriental Mindoreños’ lively spirit, infusing the elements of the
four (4) icons of the province, namely: MAngyan, HALcon, TAmaraw and NAujan Lake
(MAHALTANA).
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.
E. 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.
Sea travels going to Oriental Mindoro via RORO vessels and fastcrafts can be done
through Calapan Port, Roxas Port, Bulalacao Port, Balatero Port at Puerto Galera and
Recodo Port at Pinamalayan.
The dream of the constituents and the leaders of Oriental Mindoro to finally
connect Mindoro and Batangas through a super bridge will commence in this second
term of Governor Dolor (2022-2025) as commitment from the national government
and San Miguel Corporation Chairman Ramon S. Ang is sealed.

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 common and expensive natural disasters. Tropical
cyclones, as well as heavy or steady rain for several hours or days that saturates the
ground, can cause floods. Flash floods are caused by rapidly rising water along a
stream or in a low-lying area.
Based on the list of major disasters that occurred in the province, fifteen (15)
flashfloods struck Oriental Mindoro caused by continuous heavy rains while others are
effects of tropical cyclones an Southwest Monsoon. In 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 threeday rainfall reaching a total
of 194 millimeters on December 6, 2005, and December 17, 2005 (as reported by
PAGASA). Heavy rainfall resulted in large discharges in both the Mag-asawang
Tubig and Bucayao Rivers. Family victims totaled 82,834 or 288,464 people. Three
casualties in Calapan City and Pinamalayan were reported due to drowning. The total
infrastructure damage is estimated at PhP158.98 million while agricultural losses are
pegged at PhP166.47 million for the December 6, 17, and 27, 2005 flashfloods.
Water from the 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 the Aglubang and Ibulo
rivers formed the Mag-asawang Tubig River in the area at the transition from the
mountainous terrain to the sprawling floodplains of Naujan, Calapan, and parts of
Victoria and Baco. During high water discharge, a considerable volume of flow from
the Mag-asawang Tubig River was diverted to the Bucayao River.
The diversion of water occurred in two locations on the western bank of the
Mag-asawang Tubig River:
In the early morning of October 8, 2010, a flash flood 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 people, were affected, and one person
Page 20
was reported dead. Agricultural damage was pegged at PHP 6.94 million.
On December 15, 2015, Typhoon Nona devastated the province and caused
flooding 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 were supplemented with boulders
that erased their entire community. The whole municipality of Baco was submerged
in water during the onslaught of Nona. The 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.
In 2018, Tropical Depression “Usman” brought continuous heavy rains which
caused flooding to some barangays in the the City of Calapan and Municipalities
of Baco, San Teodoro, Naujan, Socorro, Pinamalayan and Bansud. Roads are
unpassable to light vehicles.
On July 2, 2021, the effects of the Southwest Monsoon intensified by Tropical
Depression “Dante” brought heavy rains and flashfloods to seventy-four (74)
barangays in Puerto Galera, San Teodoro, Baco, Calapan, Naujan, and Socorro. A
rescue operation was conducted by PDRRMO and
MDRRMO Naujan, assisted by ARESCOM, Naujan MPS and PCG personnel at
Brgy. Aurora, Naujan due to the stranded families and individuals in their homes and
rooftops.
Likewise, on December 26, 2021, heavy rains brought by Shear Line affected
33 barangays in Naujan and Baco as they were flooded just right after Christmas. It
damaged one house.
a. just above the point of confluence of the Aglubang and Ibulo Rivers due
to greater flow contribution, hence, greater momentum and flow of water from the
Aglubang River, and
b. As the flow was deflected by the solid high ground, the flow diverted
from Magasawang Tubig merged further downstream and eventually joined the flow
in the Bucayao River.
This resulted in exceptionally high water levels in the 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 the abovementioned areas.
Heavy rains on January 17, 2010 resulted in the overflowing of riverbanks along
the Bucayao and Mag-asawang Tubig Rivers. The 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 the flashflood with 1,724 families or 8528 people.
In 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.

Hazard Characterization
Most of the surveyed areas by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau

are situated on flat to very gently sloping terrain traversed by numerous
braided and meandering streams. Among the prominent rivers posing
immediate hydrologic hazards in the area are the Bucayao and Mag-
asawang Tubig Rivers that flow in the alluvial plains 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 to the floodplain and on the
downstream most portions of the river system’s inundation levels range
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 not susceptible to flooding. All municipalities in the province
have susceptibility levels from none to low; low to moderate; and 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.

Riverbank erosion and channel migration due to heavy river siltation
are highly noticeable near the mouths 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.
Low-lying areas confined along the periphery of Naujan Lake are

subject to inundation caused by swelling of the lake water level caused by
excessive surface water inflows from rivers; many rivers in the surrounding
area drain their water into this lake.
Flooding in low-lying areas near the coast of eastern Mindoro is

attributed to abnormal sea tidal fluctuations. 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 and
Mansalay, while some over-changing rock units were also observed in the
barangays of San Vicente, Roxas, and San Roque, Bulalacao, especially
in Sitios Namalayan and Dangkalan.

2. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
A. EARTHQUAKE AND RELATED HAZARDS

An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by the rapid
movement of the Earth’s rocky outer layer. A Tsunami is the related hazard of an
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
a magnitude of 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 the 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-kilometer stretch of
the northern and eastern shorelines of Mindoro Island, from Puerto Galera up to
Pinamalayan.
As per the 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 areas of Malaylay, San Andres, and Baco. The capital town, Calapan,
has the second highest number of casualties, with 17 deaths from Barangay Wawa,
also a coastal area. Almost half of the casualties were children under 10 years old
who drowned. Damage to property includes some 7,566 houses: 1,530 totally and
6,036 partially washed away by the tsunami. The municipalities of Calapan and
Baco had the largest 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 were damaged, limiting ferry access for a period
immediately after the earthquake (EERI, 1995). During the earthquake, three major
power plants, two in the Luzon Grid and one in Visayas, tripped, causing brownouts
in Mindoro Island and parts of Leyte and Samar. Some areas in Metro Manila also
experienced brief power interruptions. 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. The total cost of rehabilitating damaged buildings and infrastructure
is placed at PHP 5.15 millio

HAZARD CHARACTERIZATION
Studies of historic earthquakes provide a 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.
The PHIVOLCS map was used to create an 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. The PHIVOLCS
Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) from one to 10 is used as the unit of categorization
for the severity 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.
Page 28
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.
In historical large-magnitude earthquakes, lateral spreading has been a very

damaging type of ground failure. When a subsurface soil deposit liquefies, intact
blocks of surficial soil can move down a 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.
Page 29
B. 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. The intensity of
shaking varies depending on a number of factors, namely earthquake magnitude,
distance from the epicenter, 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 in
deaths, property damage, and other long-term effects on the economy.
The 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.

C. 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 passed 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).
A 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 is between 5 and
10%, and very low is less than 5%.
Page 31
Figure 4
EARTHQUAKE EXPOSURE TO LIQUEFACTION SUSCEPTIBILITY MAP
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 all municipalities and component cities of Oriental Mindoro will
have moderate to low susceptibility.

Page 32
D. EARTHQUAKE INDUCED LANDSLIDE HAZARD
An 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 or bits and 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 rates, slopes modified by road cuts, quarrying
operations, river erosion, and denuded forests are areas highly prone to landslide
occurrences (Punongbayan, 1998).
An 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. Finally, earthquake-induced landslides are less likely in Calapan, Puerto
Galera, San Teodoro, Baco, Victoria, Pola, Socorro, Pinamalayan, Gloria, Bansud,
Bongabong, Mansalay, Roxas, Bulalacao, Naujan, and Naujan Lake.

E. TSUNAMI
Initial tsunami modeling was performed by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology

and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)
funded under the DOSTTsunami 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 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 a tsunami height
of three meters at the coastline, tsunami inundation zones were modeled for Mindoro
Island coastlines. Earthquake parameters used in modeling are the Manila Trench with
magnitudes of 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 the Earthquake Tsunami Map. These areas
can be found in the cities or municipalities of Puerto Galera, Baco, San Teodoro,
and Calapan with a 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. There
would be 118,048 people and 496 square kilometers of land affected.
This tsunami inundation map was prepared to assist cities and municipalities
in identifying their tsunami hazard. It is intended for local jurisdictional or coastal
evacuation planning uses only. This map and the information presented herein are
not legal documents and do not meet disclosure requirements either for real estate
transactions or for any other regulatory purpose. The inundation map has been compiled
with the 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.
