Geosciences Development Service

Geohazard Survey and Assessment - activities for January to June 2017 consisted

of the following; Vulnerability and Risk Assessment, Detailed Sub-surface

Assessment, Quadrangle Geological Mapping and Surveys and Groundwater

Resource Assessment

Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (VRA)

For the first semester, a total of eleven (11) municipalities have been assessed and

targeted. For the month of February, there were three (3) municipalities assessed

namely Lebak, Tampakan and Tupi; Two (2) for the month of March; Malungon and

Alabel, Antipas and President Roxas were assessed for the month of April and while

for the month of June; Alamada, Banisilan, Bagumbayan and Senator Ninoy Aquino

were assessed. The VRA was conducted by updating the existing landslide and

flood hazard map of the municipalities; doing anecdotal interviews to barangay

officials; tracing histories of flooding and landslide occurrences within the area and

data gathering for the latest municipality 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 conferences were conducted on the last day of every

fieldwork, Information and Education Campaign (IEC) on the results of VRA were

scheduled and accomplished.

Detailed Sub-surface Assessment

This activity was conducted in the municipality of Maasim in Sarangani Province, the

lone target for Subsurface Hazard Assessment for the year 2017. The assessment

methodology included anecdotal interviews to barangay officials and tracing

histories of sinkhole occurrences within the area. Field geological assessment is

9

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 were interpreted by a GPR software to produce plan and

sectional view of the subsurface structures and strata. Prior to actual field survey,

existing maps and literatures were reviewed.

Quadrangle Geological Mapping and Surveys

Five (5) quadrangles were targeted and accomplished for the first semester of 2017,

and these were all in municipalities/city of the province of Camarines Sur in Region

5. The following quadrangles were updated and field assessed, namely; Isarog

Quadrangle 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 observed within those

quadrangles mentioned-above and was conducted by Melvin C. Sebua (Supervising

Geologist), Team Leader and Team Members composed of Glenn Segfred T.

Villanueva (Geologist), Paul Vincent J. Torres (Geologist), Alinader M. Pama

(Geologic-Aide) and Dennis N. Cortez (GIS Specialist)

Groundwater Resources Assessment

For the first semester, the target for the Groundwater Resource Assessment was

Sarangani Province which was divided into four (4) phases.The province is

composed of seven (7) municipalities namely the municipalities of Maitum, Kiamba,

Malungon, Malapatan, Alabel, Maasim and Glan. The MGB-12 personnel who

conducted this activity were composed of Princess Danielle B. Matas (Senior

10

Geologist) Team Leader and Team Members composed of Clarita S. Carido and

Aisah M. Baute (Senior Science Research Specialists), Eloise Ivy R. Garcia

(Geologist) and Alimodin S. Makmod (Driver). The first phase covered municipalities

of Maitum and Kiamba and was conducted on February 27-March 21, 2017.

Followed by the second phase which was in the municipality of Malungon conducted

on March 28 to April 26, 2017. The third phase is in the municipalities of Alabel and

Malapatan and conducted on April 28 to May 26, 2017 and lastly, the fourth phase

of the assessment was on June 5 to July 1, 2017 in Maasim and Glan.

The assessment was conducted by doing well inventory and the use of Hach Test Kit

for determining the physical properties of groundwater sources within the barangays

of the municipality and also the use of related paraphernalia including the use of

georesistivity device to determine the subsurface groundwater aquifer in the selected

sites within the corresponding assessed barangays. These sites were proposed by

the Local Government Unit or water providers for their proposed well development,

Miscellaneous Geological Services

There were various requests received by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-12 for

the conduct of geological site scoping on proposed housing projects, geological

investigation of landslide occurrences and proposed Sanitary Landfill (SLF)

inspection and assessments and rock megascopic determinations
