OUR MOTHER EARTH
IS IN ASTATE OF
CRISIS
. . . AND WE ARE THE CAUSE
. . .WE POLLUTE THE AIR
. . .WE FILL THE LAND WITH WASTE
WE CUT THE TREES ….WE DID NOT PROTECT AND PRESERVE OUR ENVIRONMENT
AND WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?
OUR CITIES ARE FLOODING
OUR LAKES ARE DRYING UP
MANY SPECIES ARE FACING THE THREAT OF EXTINCTION
TYPHOONS AND OTHER CALAMITIES ARE INTENSIFYING

Typhoon “Milenyo” was the strongest typhoon that hit Metro Manila and Bicol in September 29, 2006.
Typhoon “Reming” devastated Albay in November 2006.
Typhoon “Ondoy” was a Disaster to Metro Manila. September 26, 2009
Typhoon “Peping” was the caused of landslide in Baguio. Floods in Northern Luzon. September 30, 2009
Typhoon “Pedring” submerged Roxas Boulevard.September 27, 2011.
Typhoon “Sendong” was a Disaster to Cagayan de Oro.December 19, 2011
Typhoon “Sendong” was earlier forecasted to hit Oriental Mindoro. By God’s grace, Mindoro was sparedDamage Caused:
Massive tragedy to Cagayan de Oro, Iligan CityDeath Toll reached 2000.

Intermittent rains triggered flooding in Oriental Mindoro and several areas in Visayas, forcing at least 395 individuals to flee their homes on Tuesday, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said Wednesday. Southern Luzon and portions of the Visayas experienced rains over the past two days due to the presence of an active low pressure area (LPA) near Palawan, and another one east of southern Mindanao – ABS-CBN

Low-lying Calapan City, two other towns in Or. Mindoro to sink in flood 10-yr. time
CALAPAN CITY – In about ten years time, this capital city of Oriental Mindoro and two of its neighboring low-lying towns will submerge in three to seven-meter deep water should a rainfall in a magnitude of what Typhoon “Ondoy” brought to Metro Manila occurs, unless “engineering interventions” be done by the government.This alarming scenario was brought to open by Oriental Mindoro First District Congressman Rodolfo G. Valencia in a press conference here last March 26 as he detailed the recent findings of Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) regarding the present topographic situation of the province.
OVERFLOWING OF MAG-ASAWANG TUBIG RIVER CAUSED MOST OF THE FLOODING IN THE AREAS OF CALAPAN CITY, NAUJAN, VICTORIA , AND PARTIALLY BACO.
SERIES OF STUDIES, CONSULTATION AND COORDINATIVE MEETINGS WERE
UNDERTAKEN IN THE PAST 30 YEARS - NO POSITIVE RESULT
GABION DIKES ARE TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS.
NOT EFFECTIVE IN MOST AREAS.
RECHANNELING SOLUTIONS: BUCAYAO RIVER RECHANNELING, A PROJECT OF CONG. RGV THRU DPWH (P20 MILLION) COMPLETED 2006.
RESULT: A PARTIAL SOLUTION TO THE FLOODING OF CALAPAN CITY.
DREDGING AND REHABILITATIONOriental Mindoro starts anti-flood plan The Philippine Star, March 30, 2008
CALAPAN CITY – Rep. Rodolfo Valencia of Oriental Mindoro’s 1st District was able to secure latest model of dredging equipment from Finland worth P70 Million. DPWH Sec. H. Ebdane approved the award to First District of Oriental Mindoro.
RESULT: A PARTIAL SOLUTION. CLEARING OF CALAPAN RIVER AND OTHER WATERWAYS IN THE FIRST DISTRICT.
WHY DO WE HAVE
FLOODS IN THE FIRST DISTRICT OF ORIENTAL MINDORO?
THIS IS THE ISLAND OF MINDORO . . .

island of Mindoro.

355 km2

THERE ARE FEW BIG RIVERS IN THE WATERSHED AREAS
Blue lines show the
major water flows in the
Mindoro Watersheds.
Waters from the upland
area flow through the
major rivers: Mag-asawng
Tubig River and Bucayao
River.
MAG-ASAWANG TUBIG RIVER
BUCAYAO RIVER
RIVERS CHANGE FLOW OVER TIME . . .
1. River migrate, meander and
shortcut bends.
2. Earthquakes, rainfalls, and
typhoons can cause rivers to suddenly
change course.
3. Landslides and soil erosion can cause
sudden build-up of sediment and
debris, and block existing water
channels.
CHANGES IN RIVER FLOW IS THE CAUSE OF FLOODING

WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND PRODUCTIVE PROVINCE. . .
BUT BECAUSE OF FLOODS CAUSED BY MAG-ASAWANG TUBIG RIVER, SOME OF OUR RICEFIELDS HAVE TRANSFORMED INTO THIS . . .
LOST OF LIVES, PROPERTIES AND LIVELIHOOD . . .
WE MUST ACT NOW . . . BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. . .
. . .
BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS . . .
HOW DO WE DO IT?
. . . NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL LEADERS AND ALL MINDOREÑOS
MUST WORK HAND IN HAND TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM . . .
LET US ALL DO IT . . .

HOUSE BILL 4899AN ACT PROVIDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF
MAG-ASAWANG TUBIG MULTI-PURPOSE PROJECT
Hon. RGV filed the Bill on 05 July 2011
It will serve as flood control, irrigation system, power and energy, among others.
approximate length of 49 kilometers from Mt. Halcon down to the Calapan Bay and Tablas Strait
The Bill is now pending with the Committee on Public Works and Highways since August 2011.
SCANNED FILE
RELATED INITIATIVES UNDERTAKEN THRU THE OFFICE OF CONG. VALENCIA AND K4
An Orthophoto Map (Satellite Digital) of the
Mag-asawang Tubig, costing about PhP 25
Million, has been obtained.
Its contour mapping will be the basis of
appropriate engineering design and the proper
costing.
Hon. RGV sought the support of local Chief Executives.
On 30 April 2012, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the Municipal Mayors and the Sangguniang Bayan of the seven (7) municipalities in the first district have endorsed the approval of the Mag-asawang Tubig Multi-purpose Bill.
The City Government of Calapan has not responded despite the fact that Calapan City is the first hard-hit by flashfloods and the biggest beneficiary of the project.
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) entered into with DCCD Engineering Corporation, a prominent and credible engineering firm, to undertake preliminary review of the project.
A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was executed among RGV, Gov. A. V. Umali, K4 President Nico P. Valencia and Mr. Armando de Rossi of CMC-Asia, Inc. The primary objective to obtain from the European Community at least US$200,000.00 to partly finance the cost of the technical study.
A consultative meeting organized by Hon RGV and the K4 was held last May 17, 2012 at RGV Executive Lounge, Makati City.
Attendees were Gov. Umali, District and Regional Office of the DPWH, Office of Foreign Assisted Projects, DPWH, among others.
