II. Assessment of Accomplishments

Geosciences Development Services

The CY 2017 was great challenge for the Geosciences Development Services

Almost all targets were 100% accomplished the personnel had to double time

and exerts efforts to accomplish their targets. For only this year some of our

personnel experiences the cross region on the quadrangle mapping were

conducted to Region 5 and Coastal Assessment were conducted in Region 13

and Region 11 aside of accomplishing the target of our region. Limited time

aside of intervening trainings and workshops to be attended by the technical

personnel. More demand driven activities on geological site scoping and

invitation as a resource person in seminars and trainings.

Quadrangle Geological Mapping and Surveys

This year quadrangle mapping was conducted in Region V. Five (5)

quadrangles were targeted for the first semester of 2017, and these were all in

municipalities/city within the province of Camarines Sur in Region 5. The

following quadrangles were updated and field assessed, namely; Isarog

Quadrangle targeted on April 20-May 9; Naga City Quadrangle on May 10-29;

Tambang Quadrangle on May 30-June 10; Tinambac Quadrangle on June 11-

20 and Libmanan Quadrangle on June 21-28. The activity involves geological

assessment, mapping, rock sampling and inventory of geologic structures were

observed within the quadrangles

Sur

Mineral Reservation

Gold and Silver Prospect located in the municipalities of Kalamansig

and Lebak, Province of Sultan Kudarat with an area of 24,140.14

hectares.

Activities conducted were the following:

1. Information and Education Campaign (IEC) were scheduled on respective SP/SB sessions: October 2, 2017-SP of Sultan Kudarat; October 3, 2017-SB of Lebak, Sultan Kudarat. October 4, 2017-Barangay Council of Salaman; October 24, 2017-SB of Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat and on November 9, 2017-Barangay Council of Obial, Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat.

2. Environmental Resource Mapping, Semi-Detailed Geological Mapping/Sampling and assay analysis of collected samples.

Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (VRA)

For the year 2017, there are twelve (12) municipalities that were targeted for the Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (VRA). In South Cotabato, Tampakan, Tupi and Polomolok were targeted; in Sultan Kudarat, Lebak, Bagumbayan and Senator Ninoy; in Sarangani, Malungon and Alabel; and in North Cotabato, Antipas, President Roxas, Alamada and Banisilan were targeted and were conducted starting February to August of this year.

The VRA was conducted by updating the existing landslide and flood

hazard map of the municipalities and doing anecdotal interviews to

barangay officials tracing histories of flooding and landslide

occurrences within the area and data gathering for the latest

municipality’s 2015 Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS)

population statistics, administrative maps and other pertinent data for

the generation of report and maps. Prior to the assessment existing

maps and related literatures were reviewed. Exit conference will be

conducted on the last day of every fieldwork, Information and

Education Campaign (IEC) on the results of VRA were scheduled.

Detailed Sub-surface Assessment

The municipality of Maasim in Sarangani Province, the lone target

for Subsurface Hazard Assessment for the year 2017. The

assessment was conducted by doing anecdotal interviews to

barangay officials tracing histories of sinkhole occurrences within the

area. Field geological assessment is conducted by doing

observations and measurements of sinkhole surface manifestations

such as shallow holes and ground displacements. Ground

Penetrating Radar (GPR) was used to determine the subsurface

structures and strata. Collected data will be interpreted by a GPR

software to produce plan and section view of the subsurface

structures and strata. Prior to actual field survey, existing maps and

literatures are reviewed.

Coastal Geohazard Assesment and Mapping

Coastal Geohazard Assessment and Mapping activities were

conducted in Thirteen (13) local government units outside Region 12.

The location of the targets are within the jurisdiction of Regions 13

and 11. In September 2017, two municipalities and a city were

targeted in Region 13, namely Malimono, San Francisco and Surigao

City, all within Surigao del Norte Province. While the remaining ten

were in Region 11, namely Malita, Sta. Maria, Jose Abad Santos and

Don Marcelino in Davao Occidental; Hagonoy, Padada, Sulop and

Malalag in Davao del Sur; Davao City, and Samal City in Davao del

Norte were targeted in October and November

The conduct of this activity includes interview and anecdotal accounts (data/information gathering), coastline tracking, getting the locations of coastal puroks per barangay and beach profiling. The output of this activity are Coastal Geohazard Assessment Report, Coastal Erosion and Accretion Map (also coastal shift maps) using DSAS software and Threat Advisories given to barangay heads for their proper guidance and information.

Groundwater Resources Assessment

For the groundwater resources assessment this year’s target was

one (1) for regular budget. The province targeted was Saranggani

Province covering the seven municipalities conducted on February

27-March 21, 2017 for Kiamba and Maitum, on, March 27-April 26,

2017 in Malungon and Malapatan, Alabel on April 28-June 2, 2017

and Maasim and Glan on June 5 to July 1,2017. The physical

conditions of the study area in terms of topography,slope ,drainage,

and watershed ,rock type , and rainfall had been established. The

groundwater availability of the Province had been mapped

(1:250,000 scale) .The marine clastics and pyroclastics were

identified as the main groundwater resources aquifer potential having

high porosity and permeability. One target for Tier 2 is the province

of Sultan Kudarat. The province is composed of twelve (12)

municipalities namely Tacurong, Columbio, Lutayan, Lambayong,

Isulan, Esperanza, President Quirino, Bagumbayan, Lebak, Senator

Ninoy Aquino, Kalamansig, and Palimbang. The first phase is

composed of the municipalities of Tacurong, Columbio and Lutayan

on July 5 to August 6, 2017. Esperanza, Lambayong and President

Coastal tracking using a handheld GPS along the beach of a certain barangay in the Malimono municipality of Surigao del Norte.

Quirino were assessed during the second phase on August 8 to

September 8, 2017. The third phase is composed of Senator Nino

Aquino, Isulan and Bagumbayan conducted on September 13 to

October 13, 2017. The fourth phase is comprised by the

municipalities of Lebak and Kalamansig on October 18 to November

21, 2017. The last phase is the municipality of Palimbang assessed
