The 1st semester of 2016 was another challenging and fulfilling period for MGB IV-A (CALABARZON) as it strives to continue to put strategic plans into action. In hindsight, it is noteworthy to mention that in May 2016 the Region was once again acclaimed by the DENR Central Office as one of the “Best Performing Regional Office” of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) for CY 2015. It can be recalled that in CY 2013 the Regional Office was ranked as the Best Region of the MGB. It is a milestone for MGB IV-A (CALABARZON) to achieve this feat twice since it started in 2012. MGB IV-A CALABARZON’s midyear report shows and describes significant achievements in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of agency’s operations. As steward of the country’s mineral resources and committed to the promotion of responsible mining, MGB IV-A CALABARZON together with the Environmental Crime Division of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI-EnCD) started the 1st semester of 2016 with the conduct of four (4) surveillance operations on illegal mining/quarry in the Provinces of Rizal, Quezon and Laguna which led to the arrest of the offenders and confiscation of illegally sourced minerals including conveyances and tools/equipment used in the commission of illegal mining/quarrying. NBI-EnCD together with MGB IV-A jointly filed the complaints with the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Department of Justice. Such activities prove that the NBI-EnCD and the MGB Regional Office along with the PNP remains to be a potent forces in the effective implementation of mining laws. Moreover, twenty-six (26) mining contracts/permits were monitored regarding its compliance with the work programs and to the terms and conditions as stipulated in their respective mining contracts/permits. Also, monitoring of integrated Safety, Health, Environment and Social (SHES) program of thirty-four (34) operating mines were conducted for the 1st semester of CY 2016. On top of the regulatory functions of the Office, one of the activities implemented by MGB IV-A (CALABARZON) for the 1st semester of CY 2016 is the Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (VRA) Program whereby the geohazard risks of five (5) municipalites of Quezon Province and three (3) municipalities of Batangas Provice were assessed in more detailed manner and the response abilities of the communities in the said areas likewise evaluated. VRA was undertaken over highly critical and priority areas of the Region to enhance the effectiveness of the 1:10,000 scale Landslide and Flood Susceptibility Maps. It aims to provide the crucial inputs to local Government Units
(LGUs) for the updating and amendment of their Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs), strengthening project development and disaster preparedness, management and mitigation programs. The Coastal Geohazard Assessment Program is another undertaking implemented by MGB CALABARZON during the 1st semester of 2016. The objectives of this activity are namely: to determine/identify coastal areas that are susceptible to coastal erosion/accretion; to provide vital information to policy makers and the public in order to make them understand the risk of these coastal hazards; and to produce erosion and accretion susceptibility maps of coastal areas to serve as important references in disaster mitigation and adaptation and in crafting land-use, coping mechanisms and development and management plans of affected communities and stakeholders. For the 1st quarter of the year, coastal assessment of the municipality of San Francisco, Quezon Province was accomplished. However, all target areas for coastal surveys were redirected on the Typhoon Yolanda Avenue as agreed upon during the Middle Management Conference. For the first semester, five (5) out of the eight (8) target areas have been assessed by MGB IV-A (CALABARZON) and these are the coastal barangays of the towns of Sibulan, Zamboanguita, Basay, Bacong and Dauin, Negros Oriental. Indeed, MGB IV-A (CALABARZON) shall keep its momentum over the remainder of the year implementing the thrust and programs of the new President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Administration. MGB IV-A (CALABARZON) will continue to embark on new initiatives to balance important concerns on mining development specially in reinforcing environmental protection measures, promoting responsible mining with emphasis on socio-economic development, providing more equitable revenue-sharing scheme, and more effective coordinative mechanisms among stakeholders including the local government units (LGUs).

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES I.
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION (FAD)
For midyear of CY 2016, the Finance and Administrative Division which composed of Administrative and Finance Sections has continued to provide the core MGB IV-A CALABARZON’s operational service requirements covering human resource management, budgetary allocations, accounting procedure, property and record management functions, general services, and is tasked to effectively provide the critical support system for the aforementioned operational, financial and administrative requirements. As the “wheels” of the Regional Office, one of the cardinal roles of the FAD is to facilitate and/or support the performance of the three (3) technical Divisions of the Office to ensure all core mandates were achieve. I.A. Administrative Section The Administrative Section provides services on human resource, property and records management, including cashiering and other general services. For midyear CY 2015, the Personnel Unit keeps and maintains the records of Forty-four (44) employees which composed of forty-one (41) are permanent, one (1) under co-terminus with the official (CTO), three (3) are co-terminus with the incumbent (CTI) status and also have seventeen (17) employees under Contract of Service. Furthermore, Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS)” in compliance with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Resolution No. 1200481 and Memorandum Circular No. 6, series of 2012 was implemented by this Office. SPMS is a mechanism that puts premium on major final outputs that contribute to the realization of organizational mandate, mission/vision, and strategic priorities. The over-all performance of an organization rests on how the Office Performance Commitment and Review (OPCR) is communicated or cascaded to all the employees. In turn, the OPCR will translate into a Division Performance Commitment and Review (DPCR) and eventually to an Individual Performance Commitment Review (IPCR) for each employee. It is noteworthy to mention that after the rating and ranking of the MGB Regional Offices conducted from March 18 to 31, 2016 at the DENR Central Office, only two (2) MGB Regional Offices out of fifteen (15) were qualified to be in the Best Performance Category in line with the granting of the 2015 Performance-Based Bonus (PBB). MGB Region IV-A (CALABARZON) was declared as one of the “Best Performing Regional Office” of the Bureau for the CY 2015. It can be recalled that in CY 2013 the Regional Office was ranked as the Best Region of the MGB. It is a milestone to MGB IV-A (CALABARZON) to achieve this feat twice since it started in 2012. Further, Anti-Red Tape Act is being implemented in MGB IV-A (CALABARZON). Each Division of this Office crafted its own Citizen’s Charter detailing at least one major frontline service and submitted to DENR Central Office to be evaluated by the Citizen’s Chapter Team (CCT). Also, Quarterly Frontline Services Accomplishment Report was submitted to MGB and DENR Central Offices.

The 1:10,000 scale Rain-induced Landslide and Flood Susceptibility Maps produce by this Office using ArcGIS software were used to generate the data exposure maps for each element at risk. The Geosciences Division were able to finish the VRA surveys of Lucena City and eight (8) municipalities for the first semester of the year. The municipalities are San Francisco, Mulanay, Catanauan and Unisan in Quezon province. In Batangas province, the surveyed towns are Lobo, San Juan, and Taysan. The surveyed municipalities in Quezon province are all located in Bondoc Peninsula while the three (3) towns in Batangas are on the western part of the province. All barangays of the target city and municipalities were covered during the VRA survey. B.1.a.2 Updating of 1:10,000 Scale Geohazard Maps as a Result of Change due to Natural Calamities One of the regular activity of the Geosciences Division of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Region IV-A is the updating of the 1:10,000 rain-induced and flood geohazard maps which was undertaken last May 23 to 25, 2016. The southern territories of Lucena City were given extra attention since most of the barangays located along the shoreline of Tayabas Bay are vulnerable to flood and storm surge hazards. The barangays traversed by the two (2) main rivers, the Dumacaa River and Iyam River, were also considered in the updating activity. Eight (8) geohazard quadrangle maps cover Lucena City in the 1:10,000 scale geohazard mapping and assessment survey. Two (2) geohazard maps, Ilayang Dupay and Mayao Parada, were assessed for the update because these are traversed by the two (2) main rivers. Updating was also conducted for the coastal barangays covered in the following geohazard quadrangle maps, namely: Dalahican (3328_IV_13), Mayao Parada (3328_IV-8), Mayao Castillo (3328_IV_9) and Talaan Aplaya (3328_IV_12). Updating was conducted using printed geohazard maps covering the city with actual and on-site updates were done. Also, newly constructed structures in the city were noted during the updating survey.

Coastal Assessment of Southern Negros Oriental (Sibulan, Basay, Zamboanguita, Dauin and Bacong) The coastal survey of Southern Negros Oriental is one of the regular projects of the Geosciences Division of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau Regional Office No. IV-A (CALABARZON) for the CY 2016. The target areas include the municipalities of Sibulan, Basay, Zamboanguita, Dauin and Bacong all in Negros Oriental. The coastal assessment aims to determine the long-term shoreline trend by acquiring baseline data of the present shoreline and comparing the newly acquired data with the shoreline in the 1950s. This will reveal the coastal hazards, e.g. siltation/accretion/deposition or coastal erosion, present in the barangays of these municipalities. The coastal assessment of the municipality of Sibulan, Negros Oriental covers the five (5) coastal barangays of Agan-an, Ajong, Cangmating, Maslog and Poblacion. Initial findings show the coastal erosion is presence in these barangays.

In the town of Basay, five (5) coastal barangays, namely Actin, Bal-os, Bongalonan, Nagbo-alao and Poblacion were assessed. Except for Barangay Actin, the four (4) other assessed barangays are also susceptible to coastal erosion. Coastal deposition in Barangay Actin was attributed by the barangay officials to the deposition of sand and other materials coming from the former mining site of CDCP.

The town of Dauin is located about 15 kilometers south-southwest of Dumaguete City. Barangay Bulak, Lipayo, Poblacion I, Poblacion II, Poblacion III, Masaplod Norte, Masaplod Sur, Maayong Tibig and Apo Island are the coastal barangays of Dauin. The Municipality of Bacong is the southern neighbour of Dumaguete City. It has a shoreline of about six (6) kilometres. The seven (7) barangays found along its coastline are Barangays Banilad, Sacsac, North Poblacion, South Poblacion, West Poblacion, Buntis and San Miguel. Coastal erosion is also affecting these areas. B.2 GEOLOGICAL MAPPING A nationwide geological mapping project commenced March 2016 after years of absence in the Geosciences plans and programs. Initial mapping activities targeted areas within Region 3 which is divided into 60 quadrangle maps with a scale of 1:50,000 (10x15 minutes). Mt. Anacuao and Gapan Quadrangles (1:50,000 scale) were assigned to MGB Region IV-A for geological mapping and map updating respectively. MT. ANACUAO QUADRANGLE Location and Accessibility The Mt. Anacuao Quadrangle is bounded by geographic coordinates 16º10’00” to 16º20’00” North Latitude and 121º45’00” to 122º00’00” East Longitude (Figure 1). It is politically subdivided into three (3) municipalities in two (2) provinces, namely, Maddela in the province of Quirino; Dinalungan and Casiguran in the province of Aurora. The above-mentioned municipalities can be reached from Manila via several convenient routes such as North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) as well as north bound national roads. Activities Undertaken Geological mapping activities were undertaken within the Mt. Anacuao Quadrangle to map the underlying bedrock and geologic structures. The survey MID-YEAR REPORT 2016

MINES AND GEOSCIENCES BUREAU
REGION IV-A
covered the entire quadrangle which embraced a total area of 48,600 hectares (Figure 1) and involved more than 50 line kilometres of trail, road and creek traverses. Field surveys involved geological mapping, sampling and rock identification within the bounds of Mt. Anacuao Quadrangle. Rock samples were also taken along the road walls, slopes, ridges, spurs, active and dry creeks, as well as dry ponds and artificial drainage canals (Photo 1). Stream sediment samples were also collected along the active rivers and creeks using a 300-mesh sieve (Photo 2). These samples were put inside a properly marked sample bag in preparation for the submission to the laboratory for petrographical and geochemical analysis.
GENERAL GEOLOGY Geomorphology The area covering the Mt. Anacuao Quadrangle is characterized by rugged topography with very steep slopes and deeply dissected valleys. (Figure 2). Several mountain peaks are conspicuous in the area and Mt. Anacuao is the highest with peak elevation of about 1,841 meters above sea level (masl). Mt. Anacuao Quadrangle is traversed by major river systems such as Dabubu River, Dibuluan River and Angilinan River which are flowing northwest towards the Cagayan River. Several short rivers and creeks flow towards the Simbahan Bay. Lithology MID-YEAR REPORT 2016
PAGE 42
MINES AND GEOSCIENCES BUREAU
REGION IV-A
Regionally, at least three (3) lithologic types are present within the Mt. Anacuao Quadrangle, namely, basaltic to andesitic pyroclastics, diorite and alluvial deposits. The basaltic to andesitic pyroclastics could be correlated to Caraballo Formation which is generally made up of mainly of basaltic to andesitic flows and breccias with associated basaltic to andesitic sandstones and conglomerates and pyroclastic rocks. Good exposures of this formation are found along the banks of Angilinan River, Madella, Quirino (western side of the quadrangle map). Along Alingilan River, basaltic to andesitic fragments of the volcanic breccia agglomerates and lapilli are present in thick layers and beds (Photos 3 and 4). The rock types may be correlated to the Caraballo Formation of the Geology of the Philippines (GOP, 2010). Diorite covered almost half of the quadrangle map and is composed of diorite, tonalite and gabbro which may be related to Dinalungan Diorite Complex of the GOP. Based on the GOP, however, this rock type intrudes the Caraballo Formation. Abundant exposures are noted along the coastal areas of Dinalungan to Casiguran, Aurora which is believed to underlie large part of the Caraballo Mountains and the Northern Sierra Madre. Typical diorite (salt and pepper texture) are readily exposed along Calabgan River on the east side of the quadrangle map down to Talaytay River at the south, whereas felsic diorite (tonalite) are noted along the upper reaches Angilinan River (on the southwest side of the MID-YEAR REPORT 2016

quadrangle) and on the previous quarry site at the southeastern side where the diorite body is intensely weathered (Photo 5). Basaltic to andesitic intrusive bodies are noted to cut across this diorite body in the form of dikes, sheets and lenses (Photo 6). On several occasions, however, diorite fragments are seen within the basalt and vice versa. Alluvial deposits occupied the relatively narrow shore area at the southeastern corner of the quadrangle and are currently being utilized as ricefield. It is composed primarily of silt and sand. Sand-siltgravels are present and border along the shore. Structures Several NW-SE and NE-SW trending lineaments were traced within the quadrangle map. There are however, displaced creeks which indicate strike slip movement. A NW-SE trending fault along Angilinan River serves as a structural contact between the basaltic to andesitic rocks and the diorite. Alteration Absent to very weak degree of alteration are observed within the quadrangle. Fresh to slightly weathered basaltic and diorite rock outcrops were noted in the area. Minor pyritization and silicification were noted on some outcrops but may be considered as the effects of diagenesis in the region. At the time of survey, there are no mining activities reported in the area. GAPAN QUADRANGLE Location and Accessibility The Gapan Quadrangle is bounded by geographic coordinates 15º10’00” to 15º20’00” North Latitude and 120º45’00” to 121º00’00” East Longitude (Figure 1). It is politically subdivided into nine (9) municipalities in four (4) provinces, namely, Tarlac City in the province of Tarlac; San Antonio, Cabiao, San Isidro and Gapan in the province of Nueva Ecija; Arayat, in the province of Pampanga; and San Miguel in the province of Bulacan (Figure 2).

The Gapan Quadrangle is traversed by Pampanga River at the central portion while the Rio Chico-Manumun River, Quitangull River and Mangalinao River traverse its western side. The Pampanga River, the main river system of the map, is perennial body of water with a catchment area of approximately 472 square kilometers. It characterized broad meanders with remnant oxbow lakes and ponds which marked the political boundaries of the municipalities and cities within the quadrangle map. The Rio Chico-Manumun River, Quitangull River and Mangalinao River are actually tributaries of the Pampanga River. Similar to Pampanga River, these river systems also have meanders and oxbow lakes and ponds with portions altered for agricultural purposes. Regionally, at least three (3) lithologic formations are present within the Gapan Quadrangle, namely, Guadalupe Formation, Quaternary Volcanics, Pyroclastic apron and Quaternary Alluvium. Guadalupe Formation (QGf) covered the eastern extremities of Gapan Quadrangle and covered the low lying ridges which have an elevations of about >30 meters above sea level. There are actually no clear outcrops that describe the rocks under this formation but several exposures from the artificial canal walls seemed to be derived from tuffaceous material (Photo 3). On hand specimen, the material is gray, silty, soft and friable (Photo 4). Pyroclastic Apron (QPy) is limited only to the moderate slopes of Mt. Arayat. This apron is composed of large boulders of auigite basalt that are mixed with moderately oxidized soil (Photo 4). Mt. Arayat, on the other hand, is a dormant stratovolcano that belongs to the Eastern Volcanic Chain, which includes Mounts Balungao, Cuyapo, and Amorong .

Quaternary Volcanics (QV) is made up primarily of augite basaltic plug in the middle of Mt. Arayat cone (Photo 5). The rock is fresh and relatively hard on outcrops. It is disseminated by large crystallized augite crystals that are set on a basaltic to gabbroic matrix. Quaternary Alluvium occupied much of the quadrangle and is currently being utilized as ricefield. It is composed primarily of silt and sand. Sand-silt-gravels are present along active river and creek channels as well as artificial canals. Structures There are no geological structures present within the quadrangle map since it is covered mostly of agricultural soil and the geologic structures, if there is any, are concealed. Alteration Absent to very weak degree of alteration are observed within the quadrangle. Fresh to slightly weathered basaltic rock outcrops were noted at Mt. Arayat. At the time of survey, there are no mining activities noted in the area.

B.4 Groundwater Resource Assessment The geotechnical personnel of the Hydrogeology Section of the Geosciences Division, including the B.S. Geology student trainees, Ileen S. Aranzamendez,MickhoJheyshel V. Reyes, JohnRoed T. Salig and Leonel M. Robes conducted a hydrogeological survey in the Municipalities of Lobo, San Luis andIbaan, Batangas Province from the period April 19-23, April 26-29 and May 17 - 21, 2016, respectively. The primary objective of the said undertaking is to assess the conditions of the groundwater resourcesof the said municipalitiesand to delineate the aquifer systems that hold these resources in the respective areas.

The municipality of Lobo, Batangas Province is comprised of 26 barangays. The various wells in 12 barangays (Banalo, Masaguitsit, Fabrica, Lagadlarin, Tayuman, Olo-Olo, Sawang, Soloc, Malabrigo, Balibago, and Biga) were included in the survey while the rest were previously observed in the past study. The municipality of San Luis, Batangas Province is comprised of 26 barangays. The various wells in 15 barangays (Balite, Banoyo, Boboy, Luya, San Antonio, Muzon, Calumpang East, Manggahan, San Jose, Dulangan, BagongTubig, Poblacion, Balagtasin, Santa Monica, and Talon) were included in the survey MID-YEAR REPORT 2016

while the rest were already under local water supply providers. The municipality of Ibaan, BatangasProvinceis comprised of 26 barangays. All of these barangays have wells and/or springs that were included in the survey. Lobo is situated at the southeastern coast of the Batangas,Ibaan is a landlocked part of the province between Lipa City and Batangas City in a northsouth orientation while San Luis occupies the central-southcoastal portion of the province. The groundwater survey consisted of wellinventory using a GPS instrument to determine the geographic location of each well. Well data were obtained from interviews of the well owners and/or barangay officials. These data includes: (1) barangay name, (2) geographic coordinates, (3) well owner’s name, (4) groundwater depth, (5) age of well and (6) other information (ie. salinity, yield fluctuation and possible subsurface materials). The well locations and groundwater depths were plotted on a topographic and geologic base map. The resulting piezometric contour map is then used to interpret the groundwater condition of the municipalities in terms of occurrence or groundwater availability, flow direction, recharge area for groundwater replenishment, and discharge area for groundwater extraction (See Figures 2,3 and 4).

The groundwater levelsin the study areas generally follow the topography where depths of wells becomes shallower at lower elevations assuming that the tuffaceous sandstone aquifer or water-bearing stratais horizontal or subhorizontal. The expected trend however, does not prevail in Ibaan. It appears that the general central flow of groundwater is due to the presence of a series of aquitards in the area (Figure 4).

B.5 Miscellaneous Geological Services a. Geological Investigations For the First Semester a total of eight (8) geological investigations were conducted including request for assessments of proposed sanitary landfill sites in Batangas and Quezon Provinces. 1. Geohazard Investigation Report Along Grand Heights Road(Simeon) Near Deo’s Hideaway Bar and Deogracias Garden Resort, Located In Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City – June 26, 2016 Supervising Geologist Perlito A. Angeles conducted a geohazard investigation along the portion of Grand Heights Road near the privately owned properties where Deo’s Hideaway Bar and Deogracias Garden Resort were established. This is in response to the letter request received by our office last January 26, 2016 from the Honorable Mayor of Antipolo City, Casimiro A. Ynares III, M.D. The following observations were obtained during the actual field investigation while the corresponding recommendation is enjoined to minimize the possible destructive effects of the geohazards as cited in the request letter.

The western-most boundary of the said bar is steeply dipping terrain that is vegetated by trees and grasses while the eastern boundary (no perimeter fence) is occupied by the resort which was developed by constructing “benches” or terraces to break the originally steep slope.
The Deogracia’s Garden Resort that is adjacent to the bar. Note the presence of terraces or benches as part of the Landscape
There were two danger zones within the property. One is the western-most portion of the bar that has no buffer area that can separate the visitors from the steeply sloping side of the ridge and the other one is the presence of piles of boulders that could roll down the lower portion of the resort. There are portions of the roadcut along Grand Heights Road that can be subjected to rock fall and even trees collapse that in turn could endanger the motorists in the area. It is confirmed by the presence of boulders that appeared to have rolled from the top of the said unprotected roadcut. RECOMMENDATION: A buffer zone should be provided at the westernmost part of the bar opposite the steep side of the ridge. Any further development of the adjacent property (steeply dipping terrain) west of the bar should be accompanied by a detailed Geohazard assessment similar to the one being conducted for the housing development.

Rock boulders should be immediately isolated if it is not possible to remove them by cordoning them with any competent protection barrier. The unprotected road of Grand Heights Road should be stabilized by lowering its height, removing unstable trees and hanging boulders or by constructing retaining walls. Designation of “danger zone” or posting of signages as precautionary measures or warnings should be done within and outside the property (along the road). 2. Geohazard Assessment Report of Block 48 Pcs-8215 located in Barangays San Isidro and De La Paz, Antipolo City, Rizal – March 15, 2016 A geohazard assessment survey was conducted at Block 48 PCS8215 by Senior Geologist Fidel R. Zepeda in response to the letter request of Mr. Allan Solomon, President of First Initiative Neighborhood Association of Lot 6 (Finals-LAMP). The main objective of this assessment is to determine the presence of the geologic hazards that could affect the safety and stability of the abovementioned site. The site covered an approximate area of 24.6 hectares and is currently being occupied by approximately five thousand families which are groupe by at least eight (8) community organizations representing eight (8) sitios (Figure 1). At the time of inspection, the undersigned was accompanied by Mr. Solomon along with his staff.
The site is situated under the jurisdiction of Barangays San Isidro and De la Paz, Antipolo City, in the province of Rizal. It is located about 3.0 aerial kilometers northeast of Antipolo City proper and is approximately centered at the intersection of geographic coordinates 14º37’04” North Latitude and 121º10’38” East Longitude. From Manila, the site can be reached by any type of land transportation via Marcos Highway, then north along Olalia Road and National Housing Authority Avenue. FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS: 1. Block 48 PCS-8215 is a parcel of lot covered by TCT No. 163358 and is owned by National Housing Authority (NHA) since December 20, 1985. It is characterized by rolling topography with moderate to steep slope gradients and with relatively narrow strip flat portions. The slope gradient varies from about 10% along the border of the creek to 28% at the adjacent ridge slope (see Photos 1 and 2). MID-YEAR REPORT 2016

Photo 1 - A view of the site of LAMP at SitioSagipin. The area has narrow flat area along side of the creek.
Photo 2 – This photo exhibits the sloping condition of the site as represented by the concrete stairways.
Ground investigation showed that the site is generally underlain by thinly and horizontally bedded and moderately fractured tuffaceous rocks. Signs of instability were noted on elevated portions with steep slopes. Temporary mitigating measures to avert mass movements such as piling of sacks with soil were noted on some areas, though most of those are already in poor condition. Based on MGB Geologic Map of Manila and Quezon City Sheet No.3263-IV, the area is underlain by Guadalupe Formation which is made up of fine to coarse grained tuffaceous rocks in the form of silty tuff and lapilli. There is no fault structure that traversed the site based on the published geologic map of MGB and Distribution of Active Fault map of PHIVOLCS. The nearest fault that might trigger ground acceleration in the area is the West Valley Fault which is located about 11 aerial

kilometers west-northwest of the site. Mass movement in the form of landslide and creep are possible most especially on portions of the site with moderate to high slope gradients and are underlain by thick soil horizons and intensely fractured rocks. Based on the landslide hazard map of MGB, the area is situated on an area that is moderately to highly susceptible to landslide. The site is situated on a relatively high elevation and considered free from flooding. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Portions of Block 48 PCS-8215 particularly those areas with low to moderate slopes can be suitable for human settlement but with appropriate engineering interventions. Not recommended for human settlement are those portions with very steep slopes and were rated as highly susceptible to landslide by MGB. 1. Residents with houses erected on unstable slopes must be relocated and warned of the possible landslide occurrences in the area. A buffer zone of about 20 meters from the footslopes must be marked as danger/unbuildable zone. 2. The site is prone to low to high magnitude ground shaking in case a major fault structure in the region is mobilized. The West Valley Fault which is about 11 aerial kilometers west-northwest of the site is a potential earthquake generator to consider. In order to mitigate this type of hazard, the houses to be erected at the site should conform to the National Structural Code of the Philippines (1992). These houses should be able to withstand an earthquake with magnitude of at least intensity VIII earthquake based on the Adapted Rossi-Forel Intensity Scale. 3. Those portions of the site with moderate to high slope gradients may be stabilized by excavation/reduction of the slopes to gentler gradients. Installation of protective walls along the slope surface must be undertaken to minimize slope instability. Drainage lines must be established to divert the flow of surface water (which normally MID-YEAR REPORT 2016

saturate and weaken the slope materials and eventually trigger landslide) away from the slopes. 4. Footings of heavy structures must be laid on a deeper foundation level where the underlying rock has larger bearing capacity. A geotechnical study must first be conducted to determine the optimum foundation level of the building structure to be erected at a particular site. If in case portions of the area will be earthfilled, the materials to be utilized must be free of clay and must properly be compacted. 3. Report on the Geological Assessment of the Proposed Sanitary Landfill Facility (SLF) Site in Barangay Dahican, Catanauan, Quezon – April 22, 2016 A geological assessment of the proposed Sanitary Landfill Facility (SLF) site located in Barangay Dahican, Catanauan, Quezon was undertaken by the undersigned last April 22, 2016 in response to the request letter dated December 10, 2015 of the Honorable Mayor Ramon A. Orfanel of the Municipality of Catanauan, Quezon. The proposed Sanitary Landfill Facility (SLF) site is presently being used as ancontrolled/open dumpsite of the municipality and will be develop into sanitary landfill facility.The town of Catanauan, Quezon generates less than 15 tons of residual garbage daily and would fall under the first category of waste disposal facility. The geological assessment aims to determine the suitability of the said site for the proposed undertaking through geologic assessment and topographic settings; to identify the geologic hazards that could adversely affect the proposed project and recommend measures to mitigate, if not eliminate, the possible effects of the identified geohazards to the least minimum possible.

Theproposed SLF is characterized by flat to gently sloping terrain at elevation of about 50 meters above sea level. The nearest built-up area to the proposed SLF site is Barangay Dahican proper found along the National Road around 1.0 kilometers to the southwest. Presently, there are two (2) houses found around the proposed SLF site. Based on the published Geologic Map of Catanauan Quadrangle by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (1983),the town of Catanauan is underlainby four (4) formational units, namely: Caguinsa Formation (CF),Vigo Formation (VF), Malumbang Formation (MF) and Quaternary Alluvium (Qal). The nearest major fault to the proposed SLF site is a segment of the Philippine Fault Zone found about 17.2 aerial kilometers to the north while the Sibuyan Sea Fault segment is about 22.5 aerial kilometers to the southwest.

Based on the geology and geomorphology of the proposed SLF sites and immediate areas, surface and ground water in the proposed SLF sites is controlled by the slope of the areas and presumably by the bedding structures of the underlying Malumbang Formation and would flows southwestward towards Tayabas Bay. The proposed SLF site is susceptible to seismic/fault-related (ground shaking), subsidence and, to certain degree, to hydrologic hazards. In order to develop the site as a Sanitary Landfill Facility (SLF), the Local Government Unit of Catanauan should have an appropriate site development plan that will seriously consider the waste materials that are already on the site. Moreover, in order to establish the proposed SLF, it is essential that some engineering and other measures should be undertaken. A site development plan should be in place in order to determine the appropriate engineering works/design of the sanitary landfill facility (SLF) taking into consideration the part of the proposed area that has already beenused as open/controlled dumpsite Adequate and properly designed and well-maintained drainage system should be installed on the proposed sanitary landfill facility to prevent it from contaminating the surface and groundwater. This should be connected to a leaching pond to collect leachate that could be generated by the proposed SLF. Since, the topography of the proposed site is characterized by gently sloping terrain, the slope should be utilized to maintain the continued flow of surface runoff, and ditched to prevent off-site water gaining ingress into the waste mound. Drainage system should be constructed to prevent ponding of waterwithin and in the immediate surroundings of the proposed site. A storm water cut-off drain should be placed around the SLF. One of the biggest concerns is the contamination of the groundwater and surface water, monitoring wells should be established downstream to regularly check the quality of groundwater or existing wells located downstream of the proposed SLF could be utilized as monitoring wells. Sampling and analysis of surface water should be done regularly The proposed SLF must be provided with at least 75 centimeters thick clay layer Waste disposal sites are most proper if they are only confined to a designated area to minimize leachate contamination to the surrounding environment and covered with sufficient soil materials to render it less accessible to pests or blown into the air by wind at each day of operation or more frequently as necessary.

include dumping of waste on the working face and spread to about 0.4 to 0.6 m layers and then compacted by compacting equipment The municipal government must focus on solid waste management concerns, including strict enforcement of policies and conduct Information Education Campaign (IEC) on the proper means of disposing garbage in accordance with Republic Act No. 2003, known as The Ecological Waste Management Act of 2000. The proposed SLF site identified by the Local Government Unit of Catanaun, Quezon can be considered as a suitable ‘sanitary landfill facility’ site based on the assessment of its geology, topography and hydrological conditions; however, the abovementioned recommendations should be strictly followed and implemented. 4.

(SBNAI) Housing Area Located in Sitio Broadway, Barangay Dela Paz, Antipolo City, Rizal last April 13, 2016. This is in response to the letter request of Mrs. Josephine D. Abueva, President of Sitio Broadway Excess Phase 2 Neighbourhood Association, Inc. (SBNAI) dated February 22, 2016. The site is considered as excess lot of NHA Subdivision and covered an approximate area of 2,116 square meters. Itis occupied by forty-two (42) families that comprise the association. Houses on the area vary from single-storey of light materials to twostorey concrete buildings. The objective of the assessment is to determine the presence of the geologic hazards that could affect the safety and stability of the abovementioned housing site. The SBNAI housing site is situated under the jurisdiction of Barangay Dela Paz, Antipolo City, Rizal. It is located about 3.34kilometers north of Antipolo City proper. It isbounded on the north and west by the National Housing Association Subdivision; on the east by SitioSanakay and on the south by Summer Hills Subdivisiion. It is located at one point at geographic coordinates 14°37’10.9’’ North Latitude and 121°10’28.3’’ East Longitude (Figure1). FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS: The SBNA) housing site is owned by National Housing Authority (NHA) and is part ofPhase V, Block 18 of the NHA Subdivision. It is characterized by moderately ruggedterrain with general slope gradients of about 31.42%based on the Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

image of the area (Figure 3). It occupiesa relatively narrow strip portionof the eastern boundary of NHA Subdivision.
FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS: Ground investigation showed that the site is generally underlain by thin and horizontal bedded and moderately fractured and weathered tuffaceous rocks. The eastern portion, along its boundary with SitioSanakay, was noted with steep slopes. Based on MGB Geologic Map of Manila and Quezon City Quadrangle (Sheet No.3263-IV), the BNAI area is underlain by tuff belongs to Diliman Tuff, the upper member of the Guadalupe Formation. It is made up of fine grained silty tuff with tuffaceous shale layers (Figure 4).

Based on the abovementioned geologic map of MGB and Distribution of Active Fault Map of PHIVOLCS, there is no fault structure that traversed the site. The nearest active fault that could trigger ground acceleration in the area is the West Valley Fault located about 10 kilometres to the northwest. The site is situated on a relatively high elevation with moderate susceptibility rating to landslide and considered free from flooding based on the 1:10,000 scale landslide and flood susceptibility maps of MGB Region IV-A. It was observed that some residentson the highest portions of the site are putting on sandbags on their area to mitigate surface erosion. This can be attributed to lack of drainage system in these areas and the relatively moderately fractured nature of the underlying tuff which makes it (tuff) particularly prone to weathering.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The SBNAI housing site is moderately prone to landslide as indicated in the geohazard map of MGB. In order to mitigate the occurrence of mass movement, the following measures are therefore recommended: 1. A buffer zone of about 3 meters from SitioSanakay, where the slope was steep, must be marked as danger or no-build zone; 2. The outcrop of tuff must be mitigated by constructing retaining walls to cover up the exposed part and prevent weathering of rocks; 3. Installation of protective walls, e.g rip-rap, along the steep slope surface must be undertaken to minimize slope instability; 4. An appropriate and well-designed drainage system should be established/ constructed in the SBNAI housing area to direct surface run-off and, thus, prevent erosion that could lead to mass movement; 5. Building permit should be secure from the City Government of Antipolo before construction of houses in the area; Construction of three (3) storey or higher building in the housing site should be preceded by geotechnical study to ensure the stability of the area and the appropriate structural design 5. Geohazard Assessment Report On The Landslide Occurrence In Oro Vista Royale Executive Subdivision In Barangay Mayamot, Antipolo City, Rizal – May 11, 2016 In response to the letter request of the Officers and Board of Directors of Oro Vista Royale Homeowners Association (OVRHA) dated March 28, 2016, Senior Geologist Fidel R. Zepeda and Geologist II Patrick Joeffrey B. Gavino conducted a geohazard assessment on a reported landslide occurence in Oro Vista Royale Executive Subdivision on May 11, 2016. Mssrs Zepeda and Gavino was accompanied by Mr. Benedicto S. Canicula, Village Manager of Oro Vista Royale Executive Subdivision. The landslide occurrence is situated inside the vicinity of Oro Vista Royale Executive Subdivision which is located under the jurisdiction of Barangay Mayamot, Antipolo City, Rizal. It is approximately centered at the intersection of geographic coordinates 14° 37’ 40.76” N latitude and 121° 08’ 1.62 “ E longitude (Luzon Datum).

Landslide occurrence at the corner of Enfamil and Birchtree Street. The landslide debris almost covered the adjacent vacant lot and damaged the concrete fence and electrical post. Trees hanging at the top of the cliff are observed.
FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS: Oro Vista Royale Executive Subdivision is characterized by rolling topography with moderate slope gradients but had been flattened by the previous subdivision development. Previous excavations made by the developer of the subdivision up to the property boundary had created the vertical cliff at the southern portion of the subdivision wherein parking lot, tennis court, swimming pool, and the Oro Vista Royale Club House were sited. This vertical cliff has an extent of 150 meters and approximately 20-25 meters high. According to Mr. Canicula, a landslide (rockfall) occurred specifically at the corner of Enfamil and Birchtree Street (eastern portion of the vertical cliff) at around 10 P.M. of April 28, 2016. The landslide debris accumulated at the footslope of the cliff are made up of large fragments of rocks ranging in sizes from boulder to gravel. It was estimated that around 2,000 cu.m. of debris almost covered the adjacent vacant lot and damaged the concrete fence and electrical post (see Photo 1). No intense rainfall nor earthquake had occurred before or during the time of the incident. Temporary mitigating measures such as signages and buffer zones were noted at the investigated areas. The rocks making up the cliff is moderately weathered, fractured, lightweight, friable and horizontally bedded tuffaceous materials. Scouring was observed near the footslope and trees with exposed roots can be found hanging at the top of the cliff.

Based on MGB Geologic Map of Manila and Quezon City-Sheet No.3263-IV, the area is underlain by Guadalupe Formation which is made up of fine to coarse grained tuffaceous rocks in the form of silty tuff and lapilli. Signs of instability such as opened fractures and hanging rocks are still present on the slope surface of the cliff. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: In the meantime, where no engineering measure are yet to be done, residents with houses near the unstable slopes must be relocated and warned of the possible landslide occurrences in the area. A buffer zone of about 20 meters from the footslope must be marked as danger zone (landslide prone). Engineering mitigating measures such as excavation/reduction of the slopes to gentler gradients, installation of protective walls (shotcreting w/ anchors) along the slope surface must be undertaken to minimize slope instability; Trees at the top of the cliff and sides must be removed as these contribute to the physical weathering of rocks, and their roots system sink into rocks and induce the opening of joints and fractures. Loose and hanging rocks with open fractures must immediately barred down. To accomplish these engineering measures effectively, the officials of the OVRHA must make a cooperation agreement with the adjacent property owner where the

Report on the Geological Assessment of the Condition of the Monolith Atop Pico de Loro – May 12, 2016 A geological assessment of the condition of the monolith atop Pico de Loro in Mount Palay-Palay located in the Municipality of Ternate, Cavite was conducted last May 12, 2016 by Supervising Geologist Romali S. Umali. The survey is in response to the request letter dated March 17, 2016 of Ms. Susan L. Del Rosario of the Cavite Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO).
The concern is that the soil erosion at the base of the monolith is alarming and the disappearance of vegetation around the monolith. The greater part of Mount Palay-Palay, where Pico de Loro and the monolith are located, is found in Ternate, Cavite while the remaining portion in within the territorial jurisdiction of the municipality of Nasugbu, Batangas. Mount Palay-Palay and Mount MataasnaGulod Protected Landscape is about 3,973.13-hectare protected area encompassing the Palay-Palay Mountain Range. Due of its accessibility from Metro Manila, it is a popular destination for mountaineers and hikers from the metropolis. Mount Palay-Palay is well known for Mount Pico de Loro, a popular destination for new hikers. It is rated 4/10 in terms of trail difficulty among mountaineers. Mt. Palay-Palay and Mt. MataasnaGulod Complex is underlain by Lobo Agglomerate up to elevation of about 400 meters above sea level (masl) and by Talahib Andesite at the higher elevations. Talahib Andesite is mainly andesite flows interbedded with thin layers of pyroclastics and bedded tuff.
MID-YEAR REPORT 2016

REGION IV-A
Lobo Agglomerate consists of massive agglomerates and volcanic breccia consisting of well cemented andesite and dacite clasts in a fine matrix of the same composition and minor intercalated lapilli tuffs Joints and fault structures can be found in the Talahib Andesite while bedding structures were observed in the Lobo Agglomerate. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The loss of vegetation is a major contributing factor in the rate of soil erosion in the immediate areas of the monolith. This can be partly attributed to the numbers of visitors/hikers. The long and intense high temperature caused by the El Niño phenomenon can also be considered as contributory factor in the loss of rapid vegetation and erosion.
The thick dust in the area was derived by the weathering of the thin layers of pyroclastics and bedded tuff which are included in the rock formation that underlies the area. The monolith itself in made up of moderately-fractured andesite body.

Based on interviews of PENRO staff overseeing the Mt. Palay-Palay Protected Landscape, during Holy Week, more than 1,000 hikers per day visited the Mt. Pico de Loro Summit and Monolith. This is one of the main factors that contributed immensely to the soil erosion and loss of vegetation around the monolith area. In order to mitigate or halt the soil erosion and vegetation loss, the numbers of hikers/mountaineers that would be allowed to trek or scale Pico de Loro should be regulated or disallowed altogether to give time for the vegetation cover to regenerate/mend. This would also address the concern for the alarming soil erosion.

Scaling of the monolith should also be prohibited for safety reasons since the rock formation is moderately fractured and could cause accident. If scaling of the monolith cannot be prevented, a safer, designated route towards the top should be identified and established. This could be done with the assistance of experienced mountaineers. These recommended measures should be coordinated with the Municipality of Nasugbu or Batangas Province since another access to Pico de Loro is coming from this municipality. All efforts from the Cavite Province side to give time for the areas around the monolith to return to its original conditions will be for naught if it will not be coordinated

7. Geohazard Assessment Report on the Proposed Ressettlement area in SitioDaangBakal, Barangay De la Paz, Antipolo City, Rizal – May 12, 2016 In response to the formal request of the Honorable Mayor Casimiro A. Ynares, dated May 3, 2016, Senior Geologist Fidel R. Zepera and Geologist II Patrick JoeffreyGavinowere immediately dispatched to conduct geohazard inspection of the proposed 6.2-hectare resettlement site in Barangay De La Paz, Antipolo City, Rizal. The city government of Antipolo is currently identifying areas for relocation of affected and displaced residents in connection to the road widening and improvement activities in the city. The geologists from this office were accompanied to the site by the staffs of Mr. Xavier E. Baldoz, OIC-CDRRMOM namely Mssrs. Arlo Hizon and Roger Flores, Chiefs of Operations and Early Warning Divisions, respectively. The proposed resettlement site is situated along side of Ilog Bayan Creek in SitioDaangBakal, Barangay De La Paz, Antipolo City. It is embraced by TCT No. R-14527 with an area of about 6.2 hectares. It is approximately centered at the intersection of geographic coordinates 14º36’01.0” North Latitude and 121º09’13.0” East Longitude (Figure 1, Photo 1). It is approximately 2.4 aerial kilometers northwest of Antipolo City Hall and is bounded by Fairmount MID-YEAR REPORT 2016

Hills Subdivision on its south. It is accessible from Antipolo City Hall via Taktak Road and DaangBakal Road. The proposed resettlement is characterized by relatively steep slopes slope gradient of about 50º to 60º that descend north towards the adjacent Ilog Bayan River. It is underlain by a relatively thick soil and weathered volcanic rocks that can be correlated to the Kinabuan Formation of the published MGB Geologic map (Figure 2; Photo 2). The current condition of the slope is critical to mass movement wherein hanging materials are still present and can easily be dislodged by gravity upon the introduction of a large volume of water by an intense rainfall event and/or by ground shaking/earthquake. Based on the landslide susceptibility map of MGB (Figure 3), the area investigated is situated within the zone rated as moderately susceptible to landslide which indicates that the area normally has steep slopes with unstable surface materials. Exposed tree roots and presence of cracks on floors of houses present in the area indicates that the area is unstable. Several residents situated in the vicinity (especially those residents having their houses placed adjacent to steep slopes) were also warned of the impending landslides. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The stability of the proposed resettlement site is considered as critical to the future residents considering the steepness of the slope and thickness of soil. An intense rainfall event (like the one brought about by Ondoy, Milenyo, Yolanda and Glenda) and relatively high magnitude

earthquakes can easily dislodge the loose materials present on slope. 2. Any plans for urban development in the area may requireengineering mitigation and slope stabilization measures such as: 1) lowering of the slope gradient to a gentler and stable condition; 2) installation of riprap walls, benching and shotcreting and; 3) control and divert surface water away from the unstable slopes.

3. In the meantime, monitoring of slope instability in the area particularly along steep slopes must be done by the LGUs especially in times of intense rainfall events and high magnitude earthquake events. People must not be allowed to build heavy house structures that would add to instability of the slope. In case of mass movement occurrences, it must be reported immediately to the concerned government agencies.

Tayabas City is a land locked municipality bounded on the North, West, South and East by the Municipalities of Lukban, Mauban, Lucena and Sariaya respectively. The proposed landfill site is centered within the geographic coordinates 14º 00’ 10.1” North Latitude and 121º 37’ 16.0” East Longitude within SitioNayon, Barangay Pandakake, Tayabas City, Quezon Province (Figure 1). This barangay is situated southwest of the municipal proper and is approximately 4.0 aerial kilometre distance from the city centre.
The proposed Sanitary Landfill Facility (SLF) in Barangay Pandakake has a land area of 38,397.27 square meters or 3.8397 hectares. It is bounded on the west, south and east by private properties; and on the north by Barangay Lakawan. Out of the 3.8 hectares, a mini forest of about 0.5 is established in the middle of the property, one (1) hectare is presently being use as controlled dumpsite and 1.5 hectare is being allotted to the landfill facility (Figure 3). The controlled dumpsite has a decommissioning schedule from July to December.

This area is surrounded by mahogany, bananas, coconut and secondary growth trees and agricultural activities are likewise observed in the area. However, these agricultural activities are minimal and intended only for the consumption of the workers assigned in the facility area. The nearest community to the proposed SLF site is Barangay Lakawan. Built up areas were actually observed approximately 480 meters north from the proposed facility site. Based on the MGB unpublished geologic map of the Lukban and Lucena City Quadrangles (1999), the municipality of Lukban and vicinity are underlain by Laguna Formation (Figure 2). This Formation consist of layers of thin to medium bedded tuffs, agglomerates/ conglomerate, volcanic breccias and associated tuffaceous sediments.
The major geologic structure in Quezon Province is the Philippine Fault Zone. The nearest active fault structure in Tayabas City is the

probable trace of the southern extension of the active Infanta segment of the Philippine Fault Zone (Figure 4) which is roughly 8.5 kilometers east of the project site. There is no major structure observed to traverse the project area. The proposed SLF is characterized by flat to gently sloping terrain towards the east and west. It lies in elevation 100 meters above sea level (masl). The naturally gently sloping terrain can be considered as a positive attribute for the establishment of the sanitary landfill especially in the design of drainage system for the proposed SLF. The proposed site is flank on the east and is drained by an intermittent creek, a tributary of Dumacaa River. The drainage system generally flows south towards the City of Lucena and into Tayabas Bay. The groundwater flow, which almost always follow the surface water flow, is southward through the lower elevated areas and eventually into Tayabas Bay. The leachate that the proposed sanitary landfill facility can generate would pose minimal problem to the populace of the barangay proper. However, the houses near the proposed SLF could be affected by the operations of the SLF. The tuffaceous sediments can be considered as one aquifer unit that is a good source of groundwater as this is inherently porous and permeable to a certain degree. However, the presence of tuffaceous shale will act as impervious layers that could inhibit groundwater flow and infiltration of leachate into the ground. Since one of the biggest concerns is the contamination of the groundwater and surface water, monitoring wells should be established downstream to regularly check the quality of groundwater or existing wells located downstream of the proposed SLF and could be utilized as monitoring wells. Sampling and analysis of surface water should be done regularly. A systematic waste segregation system (Material Recovery Facility) is believed to be in existence and should continuously be implemented vigorously at source to minimize the solid wastes and to prolong the life of the SLF The area may experience ground vibrations during earthquakes that could be generated by movements along active faults in region. The waste, in particular, is susceptible to creep in case ground shaking event occurs at the site. To avert the effects of creep and massive displacement of waste materials, normal procedures in piling up and compaction of wastes should be implemented. Slopes should not be steep such that no waste side slope should be steeper than 1 in 3 (33% gradient) and top slopes should not be more than 1 in 20 (5% gradient).

DENR Secretary Paje, directed the MGB to complete and fully implement the “Use it or Lose it” policy in the cleansing of non-moving mining applications. Prior to its implementation, many sectors of the mining industry have looked at the situation as an impediment to investments where potential mineral lands were practically used for mere speculation. The completion of the cleansing process opens a new chapter in the country’s mining tenement system where only high potential areas with no land use conflicts may be made available for development by serious and qualified mining operators.
