Hello dear ma'ams and sirs,
 
The T-126 class I am handling this semester with only 13 students is helping DTRES organize the 2nd Conference.  May we request for your support in encouraging your students to participate in the conference by giving them plus points or excusing them from their classes if these fall on Sept 27 and 28.  A special AIT Student rate of P950/day has been pegged.  Unlike in Innotech where half day rates are possible, this will not be possible for the second conference since it will be held outside the campus.
 
Looking forward to your support.  Please allow some of the T-126 students to promote the conference in your classes in the coming weeks.
 
Thank you and God bless.

Lessons from the deluge
CITY SENSE By Paulo Alcazaren (The Philippine Star)
October 03, 2009

http://www.philstar .com/Article. aspx?articleId= 510654&publicationSubCateg oryId=85

One day it’s bright and sunny, the next day torrential rains inundate districts east and northeast of the city center. The 24-hour rainfall recorded reached 366 mm. There was some low flooding, but by the next day, the city was back to normal. Traffic flowed regularly and public works teams were clearing debris from localized areas. The flooding that remained in a few areas totally subsided within another day. No fatalities were reported

Obviously this was not Metro Manila. The city was Singapore, in an event that happened in December 2006. That was not their highest rainfall record and the city is hit with high rainfall a few times a year in fact. I should know, since I lived there for 12 years. Their highest recorded rainfall beats ours at 467 mm. in 1969. When that happened, central Singapore, in the Bukit Timak area, and even parts of Orchard Road were flooded.

Singapore Success

Immediately after, the Singapore government set out to rationalize its drainage and flood control system to make sure that the problem was addressed. Their main river was cleaned within a decade and a citywide drainage system was completed a little after that. It must be noted that in the late ’60s and early ’70s, the Philippines was economically ahead of Singapore, which had just separated from Malaya and was hit also by the setback of the withdrawal of the British’s military base. Yet, they saw the importance of comprehensive planning and infrastructure development.

One of the things I noted when I first started working on land development projects in Singapore (and to a great extent, too, in Malaysia, which is also subject to torrential monsoon rains) was their paranoia of storm water; hence, the preponderance of drains, open canals, culverts all around. What I noticed, too, was all the large green open spaces, parks and plating verges along major thoroughfares filled with vegetation — all, I found later — functioned also to absorb rainwater aside from keeping the city cool and green.

The Singaporean concern for flooding extended much into the ’80s as their drainage infrastructure system was finally set in place (and designed for future urban expansion decades in advance). I remember that on Orchard Road, we had to design building entrances with thresholds that had floor finish elevations centimeters higher than that 1969 historical record (their highest in a hundred years). The world-famous 12-meter-wide pedestrian paradise of Orchard Walk parallel to the road is actually a humongous drainage canal underneath. It is regularly cleaned and accessible by small service vehicles.

The success of Singapore’s flood and drainage system is attributable to proper urban and engineering planning, as well as to the fact that the entire citystate, which is as large as Metro Manila, is governed by one authority and government. There are no overlapping jurisdictions or political conflicts to compromise initiatives. The concept of imminent domain, which allows the state to consolidate needed land for public purposes like flood and drainage lines right-of-ways, is well established.

Another factor is that all development, private or public, is coordinated in terms of drainage elevations to ensure proper flows of storm water. All utility lines are documented and today, completely digitally recorded and accessible in a GIS system, so their public works and well-trained (and equipped) civil defense force can monitor any anomaly.

Metro Manila’s And NCR’S Failure

It is not as if we had not previously planned for metro expansion and needed infrastructure. Architect and planner Jun Palafox, on TV recently, highlighted the fact that there was a plan prepared by government in the late ’70s to address flooding. He did not have the time, however, to elaborate fully on that plan and why it failed (aside from the implication that it was never fully implemented) . More complete information can be had from the e-groups and Internet chatter of the Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners, the United Architects of the Philippines, and the Philippine Association of Landscape Architects.

UAP stalwart and environmental planner Armando Alli, along with a number of his colleagues in allied professions, has noted several key factors that led to the Ondoy disaster. They pointed to the fact that most of the flooding occurred east of the Manggahan floodway. Factors that led to this was, as many saw firsthand, included the blockage of storm drain lines leading to the floodways, the uncontrolled and uncoordinated urban development of the basin all the way and up into Antipolo and the rest of Rizal province. They noted as well the presence of informal settlements in all these areas and on both sides of the floodway.

This sprawl, Alli and his colleagues and the landscape architects’ group led by landscape architect Frederick Altavas pointed out, has reduced forest and vegetative cover and the ability of the region to absorb rainfall. Storm water management is an aspect of proper planning that environmental planners and landscape architects address in developed countries. There the importance of rainwater harvesting, watershed management, wetland conservation, and phyto-mediation (using landscapes to mitigate storms and floods) is well entrenched in governance, public planning, and private development. We have Filipino professionals here well-versed in these areas, but no one listens to them or engages them in planning; much less in implementing any of these interventions (save for a few isolated private developers).

A History Of Forgotten Plans, Shortsightedness And Unmapped Failure

Alli, Altavas, and others have also pointed out what was mentioned earlier, — that governance and political turf conflicts may also have partly to do with the problem. Pasig, on the west, is a part of Metro Manila, while Cainta and Taytay is on the west part of Rizal province. Controls on either side may not be the same or even coordinated, the presence of a Regional Development Council notwithstanding. Disaster councils at city, provincial, and national levels do not seem to be well coordinated, or even communicate with each other. Disaster councils kick in only after, the fact and evaluation and physical infrastructural correctives after disasters seem not to be a priority for them or anyone else for that matter. The DPWH seems nowhere to be found nowadays nor does anyone seem to want to get them accountable for anything at all. Our collective memories for disasters, scandals, and political plunder are notoriously short, forgotten, as some point out, when the next one strikes or holiday season comes around.

Alli, et. al, also point out that a key element in that 1970s plan was the Parañaque Spillway. This was to relieve the Laguna de Bai of excess water. The government could not or would not get the right of way, or the money and plan disappeared. The lack of implementation and non-use of imminent domain has led to imminent and actual disasters on a seasonal basis. Alli points out that with the eventual moving of the airport to Clark or elsewhere, the opportunity to build this spillway lies in the re-purposing of the land parallel to the existing runway.

The environmental planners point to another shortness, too — that of planning outlooks. Twenty- to 30-year outlooks are too short, they say. The 1970s flood alleviation plan is in fact obsolete as the assumptions in terms of extent of urban sprawl have changed drastically and need to be reworked for any solution to be viable. The Laguna de Bai, too, has changed in its further degradation and silting. It reportedly has a depth of only three meters when in the ’70s it was twice that and at the turn of the century was over nine meters deep — allowing large ferries to ply from old Manila to lakeshore towns as well as absorb storm water.

It must be pointed out, too, that urban growth management and land use controls were with us as early as the late 1940s when the master plan for Quezon City and environs was set up by a group of Filipino and American, architects, planners, and landscape architects. The basin from Laguna to Marikina all the way up to Montalban was already identified as a greenbelt that was to be consolidated and conserved for functional as well as aesthetic purposes. The importance of maintaining these areas as agricultural and open land was further reinforced by the knowledge, as early as 1949, that a fault runs through the area all the way to Muntipula.

This leads to the last issue we have left with the space we have in this article — that of vulnerability and hazard mapping. Our Manila Metropolitan growth has to be planned and directed within a context of highest, best and, most importantly, safest use. Mapping is a key tool. I had wanted to see a map in any of the media and government reports that showed the effects of Ondoy. No such map seems to be forthcoming as no one seems to want to take responsibility.

Mapping what happened, and documenting complete technical details will lead to identifying critical areas as well as to defining possible steps to correct problems in a geographical, rational, and scientific context, free from the conflicts of local political boundaries, private developer greed, informal settler desperation, the general inutility of government and its dysfunctional leadership.

The Tourism Policy Act of 2009: Repercussions and Challenges for Communities and Local Governments Forum

The recent passing of the Tourism Policy Act of 2009 is a watershed legislation
that recognizes tourism as a potent tool for national development. Through the
Act, the state “declares tourism as an indispensable element of the national
economy and an industry of national interest and importance, which must be
harnessed as an engine of socio-economic growth and cultural affirmation to
generate investment, foreign exchange and employment and to continue to mold an
enhanced sense of national pride for all Filipinos”.

The passing of the law presents serious repercussions and challenges for local
governments and communities as the burden of planning, management, and
regulation of the country’s tourism assets used as attractions remain with the
said communities. The law is specific with this provision when it states that
it will “promote a tourism industry that is ecologically sustainable,
responsible, participative, culturally sensitive, economically viable and
ethically and socially equitable for local communities.”

The Asian Institute of Tourism, University of the Philippines would like to
invite you to its forthcoming Forum “The Tourism Policy Act of 2009:
Repercussions and Challenges for Communities and Local Governments” on 01 MARCH
2010, Monday at 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the AIT Seminar Room, Commonwealth Ave,
Quezon City.

For inquiries, please call the Division of Tourism Research and Extension
Services of the University of the Philippines - Asian Institute of Tourism at 9818500 local 2798. Please feel free to forward this invitation to interested parties.

Due to numerous requests from tourism and other related establishments to present their companies to students of the UP AIT, we have scheduled a one-day "AIT Career Talks" day on 19 March 2010, Friday from 9am-5pm, specifically to graduating students.

Junior and especially senior students are invited to attend and are requested also to pass the information to friends from other UP Diliman colleges who are also interested in joining the tourism industry after graduation.

Requested attire is smart casual or young corporate attire, especially for those who would be interested to submit to interviews to company representatives.

Attendance is FREE! (Attached is the tentative program).

Hi everyone;

Last minute reminders:

1. Bring your accomplished waiver forms on the day of the trip. These will be collected before ferry boarding. OCLA fee of PHP550 for those who were unable to pay today. Contact your class coordinators.

2. For those who will follow the group and will not be able to join the ferry ride or will be late due to exams, you can:
    a. Still take the ferry ride from Guadalupe-Plaza Mexico joining the regular passengers
    or
    b. Proceed directly to Andria's Intramuros (near Letran) telephone number 5429840

Please note that you should be able to join the rest of the group either for lunch (around 12.30pm) or for the workshop (at 1.30pm).

3. Everyone will be asked before boarding if they would want to take the ferry on their return to Guadalupe or would want to stay behind in Intramuros.

4. My contact number is 09088995582. Should there be additional participants, text or call me.

See you on Thursday at 10.30am!

Information Drive
Enrollment, 1st Semester, Academic Year 2010-2011


In order to make the enrollment process less problematic and more efficient on the part of every student, the Asian Institute of Tourism Student Council prepared this guide that shall respond to our need of information especially that the usual enrollment process has changed. This has been sent prior to the enrollment period and thus it is incumbent for us to take responsibility in taking note of the important matters pointed in here. Specific procedures are mentioned here as well which should help you throughout the enrollment process.

THE ENROlLMENT PROCESS

1. Print your own Form5a. This means you have to open your CRS account and print the form5a through your own means.

2. Student Information System. (Outside AIT entrance) To ensure continuity and effectiveness of information dissemination, relevant information and details would be asked from you. Laptops will be available for inputting data. Remember to answer all fields and that all data entered are correct. A blank receipt will be issued to you once you’re done. Make sure you have one. This will be needed for the next step.

*So as to hasten the enrollment process, the AIT Student Council has made the STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM available online!
How does this work?


* ACCESS the site. http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDd5WVFyekRNbEhveExNNkpvSDc5d2c6MQ

* COMPLETE the form. Do not leave a blank.

* Click SUBMIT. And VOILA! You are now one step ahead on the enrollment process.

* On the enrollment days. There will be separate line/s for those who have already completed their forms. Rest assured that the "SPECIAL" line/s would be much faster for that will only be for VERIFICATION.

* After being verified, you will be given a blank receipt for the student fund.

* Finally, PROCEED to the next steps.


3. Payment of Student Fund. (AIT Lobby) As you pay the student fund which costs Php 75 (Php 60 goes to the fund of the student council and Php 15 for the publication), present the blank receipt given to you. After paying, a number card will be issued which will determine your order in the queue for the next step.

4. Pre-advising. (AIT Comlab) Surrender the number previously given to you once you have been called for your turn. In here, advisers (faculty members) will be there to do advising tasks and sign your form5a.

*If you are satisfied with your enlisted subjects and there is no more need for you to enlist more subjects, proceed to step 5.

*4.1 Enlistment of Subjects. If you still need to enlist more subjects, proceed to the respective departments where your desired subject is under. For tour subjects, proceed to the OIS (Office of the Institute Secretary) for enlistment/prerog. As you line up for enlistment at the OIS, make sure that the course number, sched and prof of your desired subject has already been written in your form5as. This procedure also applies if you are to cancel an already enlisted subject.

5. Printing of Form 5. (OIS) Yes, form5s are now printed and there is no need for us to fill in manually. This is why it is essential for us to update our student profile in the CRS. Hand your form5a to the RA (registration assistant) and wait for your name to be called. The whole AIT lounge will serve as the waiting area. Once your printed form5 has been handed to you, check if there were several blanks left unanswered then kindly fill them up by yourself.

6. Library Clearance. (AIT Library) Go upstairs and seek for a library clearance stamp on your form5. You need to present your ID.

7. Post-Advising. (AIT Comlab) Line up once again at the Comlab. A separate queue is made for those at this stage. Turns are based on the prerogative of the adviser as there are also students lined up for pre-advising. Advisers will just sign your form5s

8. Assessment. (Assessor’s Office) The second to the last step of the enrolment process. In here, the amount you need to pay will be determined by the assessor. It is advised for us to bring previous form5s to serve as proof of our STFAP bracket.

9. Payment. Payment can be made at several stations determined by the OUR. Usually, paying modules can be done through certain banks like Landbank. Other stations are at the PNB at the back of the shopping centre and at the OUR.

OTHER REMINDERS

• Enrolment begins June 1, 9am.
• Authorization letter and a photocopy of the ID are needed for those who can’t enroll for themselves and would send a representative.
• For VAAS students and students declared by the OUR as underassessed (has an outstanding amount to be paid), cannot proceed until step 5 unless the required slips/forms are given to the RAs.
• Change of Matriculation forms will only be issued for those who are already enrolled.
• Requests for TCG, certificates and other documents will only be entertained after the enrolment period (June 1-4,7)
• A sign-up booth and help desk will be organized for recruitment for the following: Salimbay (Student Publication), AIT Volcorp, Diliman Games (Intrams), Graduation Committee and Yearbook Committee (for senior students).


HAPPY ENROLLMENT AND GOOD LUCK!

Hi everyone,

Just want to share the story about Mai Mislang, the infamous Hanoi tweeter during the Asean Summit. I would not have given it much thought but found out (through this news story) that she is a Tourism graduate cum laude.

http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideOpinion.htm?f=2010/november/4/jennyortuoste.isx&d=2010/november/4

I guess a lesson or two can be imparted to our students, especially for those hooked on social media. :-)
