Investment bankers salivate over North Africa
Chaos and strife create the revolutionary atmosphere in which opportunity abounds
Written by Atheo | Aletho News | March 8, 2011
Investment banking is usually thought of as a field that values stability. Yet the greatest rewards are often attained through destabilization.
North African regimes and leaders have their obvious faults and flaws. Autocracies have an inherent weakness in their tendency to ossification. This basic reality is reflected not just in the obvious lack of democratic institutions, but also in the economic structures of the North African states. Regimes which have persisted for many decades tend to retain many of the economic characteristics of the era in which they were formed.
In the developing economies, during the decades prior to the neo-liberal reforms of the 1990's, state owned industries were fostered in order to provide basic services such as telecommunications, transport and public utilities. Local manufacturing industries were protected from offshore competition as a means of furthering development goals and enhancing balance of trade accounts. These well established practices have come to be seen by today's promoters of 'free trade' and privatization as an impediment to maximizing profits. Once established, these industries are in many cases difficult to dislodge.
Therefore, a clean break is required for restructuring primary domestic industries in order for international investors to reap a greater share of locally generated profits. This process is referred to as 'creative destruction'. To facilitate the emplacement of the new order, the old order must first be swept aside. This requirement of upending the existing order explains why Western neoconservatives have been promoting the revolutionary uprisings in North Africa. Neoconservative think tanks and publications are closely associated with the banking interests. Evidence of their designs on North Africa is abundant.
A 2010 Bertelsmann evaluation titled Transformation Tunisia reported:
Tunisia's decision makers have once again advanced transformation too sluggishly. Despite the formal abolition of trade barriers for industrial goods with the European Union as of 1 January 2008, in practice, Tunisia has seen too little progress in terms of trade liberalization [emphasis added].
[The] Tunisian banking sector and capital market are regularly cited as one major hindrance to the country's economic modernization. Although they have been formally brought up to international standards, financial supervision and regulation remain subject to political influence. This is partly due to direct state control over financial flows and partly to the state's direct involvement therein. Although it sold its stakes in two banks in 2002 and 2005, respectively, the state remains the controlling shareholder in at least four other banks because it controls 50% of their assets. Under these conditions, top-rank bank executives are de facto appointed by the president through a controlling body.
On January 7, 2011, Elliott Abrams wrote for the Council on Foreign Relations:
"Tunisia, whose literacy rate has long been the highest in Africa at nearly 80% and whose per capita GDP is about $8,000, should have the ability to sustain a democratic government—once the Ben Ali regime collapses [emphasis added].
"Tunisians are clearly sick of looking at all the giant photos and paintings of Ben Ali that appear on walls, posters, and billboards all over the country. […]
"If Tunisia can move toward democracy, Algerians and Egyptians and even Libyans will wonder why they cannot. This kind of thing may catch on [emphasis added]. In fact, in Algeria it may already be catching on." (Elliott Abrams: Is Tunisia Next?)
On February 13, the New York Times described Robert Kagan as "a Brookings Institution scholar who long before the revolution helped assemble a nonpartisan group of policy experts to press for democratic change in Egypt." [emphasis added]
Maidhc Ó Cathail has noted that:
Arianna Huffington … was prescient in a December 13, 2010 op-ed in Lebanon's Daily Star titled "Social media will help fuel change in the Middle East."
And also that:
Robert Kagan, who co-founded the Project for a New American Century with William Kristol in 1997, was joined on that "nonpartisan group" by PNAC founding member Elliott Abrams and PNAC deputy director Ellen Bork. Bork is currently "democracy and human rights" director at PNAC's successor, Foreign Policy Initiative, where Kagan and Kristol are directors. Not surprisingly, Kristol wrote in the Weekly Standard on January 29 that he was "in complete agreement" with his fellow PNACers' Working Group on Egypt in its demands that the U.S. suspend aid to Mubarak. […]
Appearing on ABC's This Week, Kagan looked positively sanguine about the prospects for a post-Mubarak Egypt. Like George Soros, he seems confident that Israel has "much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East."
It should be recalled that many of these same individuals and institutions were principle actors in the promotion of the 'color revolutions' in many of the former Soviet Republics as well as in Iran's failed 'green revolution' during the summer of 2010.
Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi points out that the direction that events take is not being left to local forces:
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was interviewed by Rachel Maddow several weeks ago and revealed that Washington has already begun meddling. Albright denounced Egyptian ex-president Mubarak … and then confirmed that the National Endowment for Democracy was already hard at work in Egypt, even though Mubarak had not yet stepped down, building up infrastructure and supporting party development. Recall for a moment that Albright believes that a heavy fist is an essential part of diplomacy and that US interests always trump whatever suffering local people have to endure. […]
Those who are aware of the insidious activities of the National Endowment for Democracy or NED, an ostensibly private foundation that spreads "democracy" and is largely funded by the government, will not be surprised to learn that it is already active in North Africa because it is almost everywhere. NED, which has a Democratic Party half in its National Democratic Institute, and a Republican Party half in its International Republican Institute, was the driving force behind the series of pastel revolutions that created turmoil in Eastern Europe after the fall of communism. Remember when the Russians and others complained about the activities of NGOs interfering in their politics? NED was what they were referring to.
Albright is in charge of the NED Dems while John McCain leads the NED GOP. […]
Neoconservative Ken Timmerman has identified the core NED activity overseas as "training political workers in modern communications and organizational techniques," surely a polite way to describe interfering directly in other countries' politics.
On February 27, John McCain and Joe Lieberman visited Cairo. As reported by Politico:
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), who's on a quick trip through the Middle East, said Sunday he found Cairo to be a "very exciting place."
"We went to Tahrir Square today. Got a warm, enthusiastic welcome," he said of his visit to Cairo with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
Of course, to suggest that the uprisings have been orchestrated solely by these interests would ignore genuine grassroots concerns. Nothing here is meant to suggest that conditions for unrest were not present or that sacrifices for social change have not been made by the peoples of North Africa. This article is only meant to inform as to the activities of the interventionists. The real accomplishments of the uprisings may yet predominate.
Within a month after demanding cessation of military aid to Mubarak, the very same neocon cabal was demanding military intervention in the less pliable Libya. Jim Lobe reports for IPS:
In a distinct echo of the tactics they pursued to encourage U.S. intervention in the Balkans and Iraq, a familiar clutch of neo-conservatives appealed Friday for the United States and NATO to "immediately" prepare military action to help bring down the regime of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and end the violence that is believed to have killed well over a thousand people in the past week.
The appeal, which came in the form of a letter signed by 40 policy analysts, including more than a dozen former senior officials who served under President George W. Bush, was organised and released by the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), a two-year-old neo-conservative group that is widely seen as the successor to the more-famous – or infamous – Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
Warning that Libya stood "on the threshold of a moral and humanitarian catastrophe", the letter, which was addressed to President Barack Obama, called for specific immediate steps involving military action, in addition to the imposition of a number of diplomatic and economic sanctions to bring "an end to the murderous Libyan regime".
In particular, it called for Washington to press NATO to "develop operational plans to urgently deploy warplanes to prevent the regime from using fighter jets and helicopter gunships against civilians and carry out other missions as required; (and) move naval assets into Libyan waters" to "aid evacuation efforts and prepare for possible contingencies;" as well as "(e)stablish the capability to disable Libyan naval vessels used to attack civilians."
Among the letter's signers were former Bush deputy defence secretary Paul Wolfowitz; Bush's top global democracy and Middle East adviser; Elliott Abrams; former Bush speechwriters Marc Thiessen and Peter Wehner; Vice President Dick Cheney's former deputy national security adviser, John Hannah, as well as FPI's four directors: Weekly Standard editor William Kristol; Brookings Institution fellow Robert Kagan; former Iraq Coalition Provisional Authority spokesman Dan Senor; and former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and Ambassador to Turkey, Eric Edelman.
It was Kagan and Kristol who co-founded and directed PNAC in its heyday from 1997 to the end of Bush's term in 2005.
The letter comes amid growing pressure on Obama, including from liberal hawks, to take stronger action against Gaddafi.
Two prominent senators whose foreign policy views often reflect neo-conservative thinking, Republican John McCain and Independent Democrat Joseph Lieberman, called Friday in Tel Aviv for Washington to supply Libyan rebels with arms, among other steps, including establishing a no-fly zone over the country.
By March 6, Reuters was already reporting the hoped for results:
As entrenched monopolies and patronage give way in the Middle East and North Africa, governments in the region could open their markets further and divest some state assets.
Wealthy Gulf states such Kuwait and Qatar have little cause to sell, but post-revolutionary states such as Tunisia will likely lower protectionist barriers…
"… this crisis is going to reveal some opportunities as structures linked to old regimes will be unwound," said Julian Mayo, investment director at Charlemagne Capital. […]
"When you have an economy moving from socialist dictatorship to full-fledged free market, the spider in the web of that transformation will be the banks," [emphasis added] said Bjorn Englund, who runs an investment fund focused on Iraq.

A regional strategy for democracy in the Middle East
Zalmay Khalilzad | Washngton Post | March 15, 2011
… The Middle East uprisings that hold the greatest promise are in anti-American dictatorships. The immediate challenge is to ensure the ouster of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi. […]
… Gaddafi's overthrow and the consolidation of a liberal, pro-American regime would bolster prospects for reform in Iran and Syria by countering Iranian propaganda that the current revolts are Islamist in character and directed only at partners of the United States.
We can follow up with a variety of steps to foment democratic revolutions against Tehran and Damascus, beginning with clarion calls for change. These include: training and support for opposition forces in and outside the countries; pressure directed against regime officials who attack their own people, including targeted sanctions and referrals in international tribunals; surrogate broadcasting and other pro-democracy messaging; funds for striking workers; and covert efforts to induce defections by regime and security officials. …

Volatile markets produce the biggest gains, particularly if you are the one who's destabilising them. It's the same as fixing a race. Who's getting the bung though? Whoever it is, they need a rocket as a bung where the sun does not shine!

"Rise up and take a stance…for everyone who's silenced by oppression"
I'm helping family members who have a band called Lazar to spread the word about their new music video for the song "Breakdown," from the EP Chants, Woes & Lamentations, released at iTunes in May. We hope you will find it encouraging. If you like the music, please share with those who might also be encouraged by it, like our page and leave a comment!
As financial problems escalate and spread, it seems this is just the beginning. Poverty breeds instability and rebellion. If people can't feed themselves and their family, you can expect they will uprise. They have everything to gain and nothing to lose!

The Arab-Israeli Conflict: Too Complicated For Our Beautiful Minds
By LAWRENCE Of Cyberia | December 28, 2008
There are so many words written about the "root causes" of the Arab-Israeli conflict, you might think the underlying issue is difficult to understand. But you'd be wrong. For all the mythology that interested parties want to wrap this conflict in, it's really not difficult at all to understand the confrontation that has been going on in Palestine for more than a century now. All you have to do is try to imagine that what happened to Palestine happened instead here in the U.S. Then ask yourself, "What would Americans do in this position?". And at that point, you find it miraculously stops being difficult to understand.
The problem with this approach is that American Exceptionalism has left us barely able to imagine being in other people's shoes. So we explain the world to ourselves through ridiculous platitudes like we're good and they're evil, that actually explain nothing and leave us as confused as when we started. We just don't do empathy very well.
But let's try anyway. Let's try imagining that what has been going on in Palestine for the last 100 years is going on instead here in the U.S., right now. … continue

I'll Fly Away: Further Testimonies from the Women of York Prison
For several years, Wally Lamb, the author of two of the most beloved novels of our time, has run a writing workshop at the York Correctional Institution, Connecticut's only maximum-security prison for women. Writing, Lamb discovered, was a way for these women to face their fears and failures and begin to imagine better lives. "Couldn't Keep It to Myself," a collection of their essays, was published in 2003 to great critical acclaim. With "I'll Fly Away," Lamb offers readers a new volume of intimate pieces from the York workshop. Startling, heartbreaking, and inspiring, these stories are as varied as the individuals who wrote them, but each illuminates an important core truth: that a life "can" be altered through self-awareness and the power of the written word.

These intimate portraits of women become the springboard for more extensive discussions of women's issues, such as women's position in politics, business, motherhood, and marriage. Sensitive, straightforward, and perceptive, We Are Our Mothers' Daughters celebrates the diversity of choices and perspectives available to women today and affirms the bond of female solidarity -- a vital, powerful interconnection among all women, whatever their backgrounds.

PhD level Chemistry Tutor with 5 years Teaching Experience
I am a recent PhD graduate in Chemistry with 5 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have tutored and taught students from the high school level through the university level. I fully believe that one on one instruction is a vital component to a student's learning process, and only that level of attention can foster the skills that are needed to succeed. I tailor my lessons to each individual student, trying to relate the course material to real-world scenarios to both foster an interest and forge a connection that can bring about a deeper understanding of the concepts.
My standard rate is $100 per hour of individualized instruction, but I am willing to work with clients to find a system that works for them. If I am required to travel more than 15 miles to meet with a student, the rate may have to be adjusted depending on the situation.

News Feature: Ilonggo inventors design may revolutionize trikes side car
Tuesday 10th of September 2013
ILOILO CITY, Sept. 10 (LAF) - - An innovation of an Ilonggo inventor may revolutionize the design of the sidecar of tricycles in the country.
The innovative design of thirty-two year old Elmer Vincent Abella of Arevalo, Iloilo City was adjudged regional winner in the Industrial Design category of the 2013 Regional Invention Contest and Exbihits (RICE) in Western Visayas.
A side car attached to a motorcycle forms a tricycle, a popular means of transportation in the Philippines.
Abella's side car, an attraction during the three-day event held at Robinson's Place in Iloilo City, was made of mixed and composite materials and automotive finishings to mimic the sleek and elegant look even of the latest automobile design. Some of the materials used are chopped matt fiberglass, resins, woven rovings, galvanized steels and others.
The sidecar is molded to accomodate comfortably four passengers and is lighter and economical as weight was reduced by 50%, and blends all in one with the motorcycle. It has also standards and engineering parameters to ensure safety and road worthiness.
Abella said it was his dream to revolutionize the design of the tricycle's side car as designs for motorcycles, automobiles and even houses keep on innovating but not on tricycles, it was neglected.
"I came to a point of designing a sidecar for tricycle to match with motorcycles, not only for the comfort of the passengers but also how to make it more profitable and convenient on the part of the owner and driver as their means of livelihood," said Abella who is an Aviation Electronics technician by profession.
Abella has already sold a number of units at P35,000 financed out of his personal and family funds.
However, with his recognition from RICE, Abella is confident that he will have the opportunity to gain access to the developmental and technical assistance programs of the government through the Department of Science and Technology such as for commercialization, marketing and production of his products.
Abella only knew of the invention contest when he was informed by the patent office about it after he applied for a patent for the commercialization of his product. He first joined the RICE in 2011 with the same entry in the Creative Research Open Category and came in second among the more than 70 entries.
With his patent released, he decided to join the Industrial Design Category of this year's invention contest wherein one of the requirement is that entries must have patents and industrial registrations.
"Before I didn't know where to go, I thought there was no agency who nurtures inventors but this time, through this activity, I am hoping more investors will be assisted and ideas will be translated into more sophisticated products which could help our country move forward," said Abella.
As regional winner, Abella received P20,000 cash prize, certificate of recognition, trophy and a chance to showcase and compete his design in
the national level as representative of the region in the National Invention Contest and Exhibits next year. (JCM/LAF/PIA6)

2013 Regional Invention Contest and Exhibits (RICE) Winners
Industrial Category Winner
Entry: (Industrial Category) Side Car Body for Tricycle
Inventor: Elmer Vincent Abella
Award: Regional Winner
The disadvantages of the tricycle remain.
1) Driver and the passenger sitting behind on the motorcycle has no protection from side impact.
2) Driver and the passenger sitting behind on the motorcycle will get wet when it rains.
3) Vehicle dynamics is affected by the asymmetric layout of tricycle wheels (two on the left, one on the right). The driver has to make steering corrections to counteract the drag created by the sidecar.

That is NOT even an INVENTION. The judges clearly do not know what they were doing.

text: Stereo by johnlegend published on 2011-09-20T00:34:51Z John Legend is an artist mature beyond his years. He is a crooner in the best possible sense of the word — self-assured, gentle and debonair. For Legend's sophomore album Kanye West resumes his role as executive producer, but Once Again is a mellower affair than Get Lifted. The songs get their gentility from Legend's low, cocoa-smooth vocals, which never fail to bring a potentially hyper song to a place of calm. Though Once Again features an impressive assembly of producers — including Craig Street, will.i.am and West (all contributed multiple songs) — Legend is wholly in control of the album's tone and tempo. The hip-hop underpinnings are balanced by the elegant jazz of "Again" and "Maxine." "Where Did My Baby Go" is so simple that it feels timeless — it could be a piece of an old album by Arthur Alexander or even Joan Baez, made new again by Legend's warm breath. "Save Room" is a song that glides so sweetly and effortlessly that it challenges every shred of malice that might be lurking within the listener. Even sweeter is "Slow Dance," a melody as compact and pretty as a jeweled pocketwatch.

Tarot readings, Intuitive, Empath, Clear and Insightfull Advice with Instant Connection, Will Offer Detailed Answers. No Sugarcoat, Power Reading ! Unmatched Accuracy in Timelines and Predictions. Commpassion, Truth, Morality and Healing
clients comment:,,ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.HIGHLY RECOMMEND.finds deep hidden secrets.and lies and what has past, now and future so accurate.'' providing answers to questions like :
,,when will he/she contact me?''
,,what does he/she feel for me''or
,,will this current relationship work?''
I can do month by month description of the situation for an YEAR:love, career
I am a Tarot reader and an ocultist since a very young age. I help people solve their wordly and spiritual problems best i can. I am a channel between man and divine and i take this duty very seriously. I practice divination with passion and i take great joy in helping people solve their problems. I respond to all kinds of issues: from material wordly ones to spiritual higher ones. Love, relationships, money, business, family, important decisions, or different profound spiritual matters. Don't ask the Tarot if you are not prepared for the TRUTH. Knowing the truth about yourself sometimes can hurt but it's a part of the healing process.
Master diploma in esoteric philosophy with more than 10 years of study and experience in the spiritual and esoteric field.
I finished the faculty of philosophy with also a degree into esoteric sciences.
Also, being so passionate about esotericism i took on the study of initiatic (secret) societies. So, morality is the law by wich i act in every aspect of my life.
I am initiated into Shekhem healling arts, one of the most powerfull healling sistem derrived from Ancient Egypt. Shekhem meaning: The Power of All Powers that comes from the Divine itself and is the Divine itself. I also can do distance scry, pick up information, give peace to a certain loved one or healling, blessing, whatever the client needs for a positive change in his life with instant effects. For the Divine Spirit or Self, there is no distance.
In present time i write a book of deep compared esotericism including much about the tarot and other more sublte and exotic aspects of spiritual life.
I have studied both oriental and occidental spiritual paths. Kabbalah, yoga, magick, tarot, golden dawn and many other. I am in present a full practicioner of tarot divination and magic. Thats why i can make, by demand, traditional ceremonial magick for healing, helping in different purposes that are relevant for the client. But this work i only do in emergency cases and in rare occasions.
I am also an empath, i can sense the emotional state of you or of persons that you are asking about. For me, every tarot card i take out of the deck is a doorway to a future event, an important person in your life or who will become important, or even a single thought of someone directed to you. I feel the vibrations of an event and can have intuitive flashes during a reading.
I dealt with a wide variety of esoteric paths and experiences. Tarot is the path that suits best for my heart and i intend to helph people all my life with it.
I practice radiestezic intuition and i plan to insert in my future readings, my Pendulum, for an extra tool of spiritual vision upon whatever issue is concerning you.
When i do Tarot readings i invoke the archangel of the Tarot, so we are never alone in my readings. So, he comes bearing peace and can aid me to give more love and compassion to my clients, because the reading in itself is a healing process.
Also, for more private matters we can speak about the making of talismans with a large variety of usage. This will be a topic that i dont want to much to talk about. I can make complex readings from the Star of David with 7 cards to 21 cards or even the entire 78 cards of tarot layed down for you to have the best vision and insight upon yourself, an event, or a person.
I also can teach persons in love with Tarot about this wonderfull divination system and also, much more. Because the Tarot is not only divination but also it's a treasure of unvaluable esoteric knowledge and a big doorway to your inner spiritual strenght. So i am not here only to read and give answers, but also, if you want, i can teach you something about the spiritual aspects and how it really works.
using for the readings:
myself as the main tool.
Visconti Tarot, Thoth Tarot, Oniric Tarot of Tamara, Golden Dawn Tarot, WildWood Tarot
ansa- with accurate yes/ no questions and percentages and timeframes provided also.
life numerology analysis, on year, month and day with specific descriptions. we can zoom in into any specific area of past, present and future and deal with the aspects indepth as possible. The past present and future are one in the eyes of eternity. Our spirit is beyond time and space thats why we can go beyond the limitations of our human identity to pick up relevant info
I have also indepth experience with spirit guides and angels that help me also in my Tarot readings.
May you all find peace in your life and be blessed with the true knowledge that brings about only happynes and Divine Light ! Blessings.

he's a bit slow and should lower price and in the US, we are paying a free since he's oversea. Also, about the first half of my time was wasted as he gave me a reading on present job...and i was asking him when a new job and where was coming in. He takes about 5 min to post his reading after each question. he kept going back and fourth between present job future job. Gave me details about present job...again i wasn't asking about present job. SO that was wasted time/money. i asked him to move since he was giving me info about present job. "rolls eyes" I don't recommend him since he waste your money. even when you make it clear to him to only focus on your questions...he has a hard tiem doing that. I also asked about love and it ws very general. a man is coming who is a water sign or could be coming in a water sign-IDK. The timeslines are not timeless...there's a 5 connected to it...could be 5 days, 5 weeks, 5months, or on the 5th of a month. WTF????
Advisor's response: aggresive/ client lies- gave extra time/rapid type/deep info ! +300 excelent confirms it !
TOTALLY out of whack. I know the person involved very very well and she described him as some sort of agressive se*ual freak that gets around when he is the kindest person I know - and his friends and family can vouch for this. I have spoken to many (approx 200) readers and they have all said the total opposite of what this reader said. Also it took forever to receive the first reply which yes it was long, but it took about $10, so one answer cost me $10. Offered me a refund as long as i retracted my feedback - no thank you. and anyway i have your reading with me, and anyone can tell you the cards you selected do not mean what you said AT ALL - how on earth do you associate a 6 of wands and 2 of cups with frightening aggressive erotic behaviour??? I am reader too and your interpretation of the cards is so obscure it makes me wonder. And by the way as a "psychic" you should know that they way you worded your reading to me should be a big "NO NO". Will not be returning I am sorry.
Advisor's response: this is an atack, i stated the persons deepest secrets, you just refuse to see the truth..

The presence of squatters in the city is a reflection of a basic social problem: inadequate housing. Housing problem affects the unemployed and the employed who do not own the place they live in. The reasons may be varied but the most obvious would be the prohibitive cost of building a house.
Indeed, the local housing problem is so serious that any hope for its meaningful resolution requires the immediate implementation of sustained slum clearance and squatter relocation with provisions for housing and other basic facilities in relocation sites as well as strict squatter prevention measures in cleared areas. The city government, thru its Urban Settlements Office is committed to address this housing predicament, hopefully, in terms of quantity, affordability, quality and accessibility. It must be added, however, that it does when the city faces increasing financial constraints as a result of the higher cost of other essential public services. Construction materials cost is among the highest in the country. Interest rates are high and are still soaring the steady influxed of migrant fortune-seekers to live in Manila place added pressure on the city's housing stock. These are factors over which the City has little control of it all.
At any rate, fully meeting the "needs"; will require a rate of production many times greater that what has been constructed in recent years. Significantly, to begin to fill the city's housing backlog, the production of at least 1,000 dwellings units must be undertaken a year. The rent or purchase price of many of these units should be reduced to make them affordable. For various reasons, the supply of affordable housing is not expanding enough to match demand.
What can the city then do to increase the supply of housing? It can assure allocation of sufficient sites for housing at locations acceptable to prospective constituent/beneficiaries; provide land use incentives for the production of housing, particularly mass-oriented housing project; assist, to a limited extent, in the financing of socialized high-rise tenement type of housing and establish a favorably regular climate for new housing construction.
The price of urbanization has been prohibitive due to pollution, imbalances in the eco-system. Waterways are practically bad, the air is polluted because of unregulated vehicular emissions and industrial wastes; waste management remains inadequate. The Pasig River and the 23 creeks or esteros are considered biologically dead.
Time Magazine had reported Manila as one of the mega cities in the world suffering from extreme air pollution. Records from the LTO showed that there are some 650,000 vehicles plying the streets of the metropolis. Sixty percent of the air-pollution is attributed to smoke-belching and 40 percent to industrial plants.
Air pollution is posing increasingly serious problems in some of the world's biggest cities, and is now an almost inescapable part of urban life anywhere according to a report jointly published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). The report, "Urban Air Pollution in Mega cities of the World", is the result of a scientific study of pollution levels in 20 such cities – those that already have population of 10 million or more, or are expected to reach that total be the year 2000.
The United Nations estimates that by the now, 47 percent of the global population is living in urban areas. The cities are: Bangkok, Bombay, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Calcutta, Delhi, Jakarta, Karachi, London, Los Angeles, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, New York, Rio de Janeiro, San Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo. In some of them, air pollution contributes to premature death and serious disability although the report says that these cities are not necessarily the world's most polluted. The urgent action recommended were:
air quality management programs
energy conservation
motor vehicle examination and maintenance programs
phasing out lead in petrol
promotion of mass transit systems
alternatives to open dumping/burning of refuse
the introduction of "clean" technologie
Solid waste collection and disposal has always been viewed by local executives as a major area of concern over the years. The fact is, as the City population grows, the problem of waste management grows proportionately. It is because of this reality that compelled the local leadership to continuously search, formulate and implement appropriate and multi-dimensional programs that would ensure a long-term beneficial impact not only to the constituents of the City of Manila but also to the entire country as a whole. Consequently, waste management in the City has been one of the highest priority concerns thaf which has become an indispensable component of development.
The problems of Manila in this regard are the following: Livelihood Generation.
a. The unemployment rate as of 1996 was 13.46%. It has been going down over the past ten years: 17.46% in 1993, 16.68% in 1994. However, the rate is still unacceptably high. Moreover, the underemployment rate is most likely high although there are no official calculations for this.
b. The poverty rate for 1994 was 11.5% of Manila's population. Roughly 190,000 persons (38,000 households) live below the national Capital Region poverty threshold.
c. Some key business have left the city. Banks and insurance companies have transferred their headquarters to nearby cities. However, some have left their branches in Manila.
d. The tourism industry is languishing. Manila is regarded primarily as a stopover city, rather than as a destination in itself Tour operators hesitate to sell city tours because of the many problems besetting the city; hotel managers complain of low occupancy rates. This, of course, affects the many small entrepreneurs that depend on the tourism industry.
e. The majority of families in Manila work either in government or in the private sector. A sizeable number of productive residents are engaged in business or some sort of entrepreneurial activities. The challenge facing the city is how to create an environment that will encourage more entrepreneurship.
Historic conservation. A competitive advantage of Manila over its neighbors is that it has high density of important landmark sites and buildings. But these are rapidly disappearing. In many countries in Europe, America and Southeast Asia, local governments regard the proper management of existing landmarks buildings and streets as crucial to the revitalization of a district Such sites (1) help foster a pride of place among residents, (2) generate new jobs because they attract visitors, (3) attract certain types of investors who want the glamour of holding office in an interesting historic district and (4) ultimately increase revenues. Thus far this notion is a new one in Manila and has not yet been applied.
a. Many formerly attractive mansions from the 19th and early 20th centuries no longer house middle and high-income families. Their insides have been divided into small apartment units with poor ventilation and poor lighting
b. Many such mansions are being eyed for demolition to make way for high-rise apartments. Thus far speculation is on the lot rather than on the building itself£ There are no protective laws and ordinances for landmark buildings.
c. The surrounding environment has deteriorated. Thus high-income residents and quality business have left. Slums have flourished.
Land use policy (as exercised through zoning, Development controls and building regulation) has far exerted only limited impact in shaping the type, pattern and intensity of urban development activity in the City of Manila.
Ordinance No.2830 was passed and enforced in Manila on October 28, 1940 until it was suspended in 1953 by the New Zoning Ordinance. In March 1981, the Zoning for the National Capital Region jointly prepared by the Local Zoning review Committee of the Office of the Commission for Planning, Metropolitan Manila Commission Zoning Ordinance and Human Settlements Regulatory Commission which was enacted in 1981 and still in effect in Manila for more than 16 years to this date. The subdivision regulations have been in force since 1977. The MMC is the agency that issues building clearances as a prerequisite for the issuance of a building permit by the local government unit. The problem of non-conforming and land use was aggravated by the issuance of clearances even to those that are clearly in violation of the zoning ordinance. While the zoning ordinance provided the spatial allocation for various urban activities (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) it did not provide clear regulatory standards on the intensity of various development activities.
Aside from the inherent weakness of the ordinance itself, it suffered from an inadequate enforcement system. Thus, the objectives of the ordinance were often overwhelmed by the real state market mechanism and the demands of market economy. Environmental objectives of the ordinance were, therefore, compromised on the basis of a more pragmatic private sector considerations. To be able to respond to the problem of rapid urbanization, the City of Manila must be able to come up with an updated and a more responsive zoning ordinance.
Manila is divided into zones of different vulnerability levels defined by the types of soil rock materials present that control the resonance of swaying buildings. Under the very high risk zone underlain by the very 'thick layers of soft clay or loose sand greater than 15 meters are Quiapo, Intramuros, Sta.Cruz, Binondo and Port Area. Malate and Ermita are very high zones underlain by medium dense sand or clay while Pandacan is low risk zone with stiff to hard clay dense sand.
The major causes of annual flooding of the low-lying areas in Manila are:
Overflowing of the Pasig River and esteros during intense storms; and
Inadequate inland drainage facilities to cope with excessive local surface run-offs.
These are further aggravated by a reduction of the carrying capacity of the Pasig River due to the indiscriminate disposal of solid wastes into esteros, drains and the river itself by squatters and the deposition of silt eroded from deforested upstream sections. The reduced flow capacity of the Pasig River has attributed to the overflowing and flooding of low-lying areas during heavy rains.
The areas that are frequently and oftentimes seriously flooded are Tondo, Sta. Cruz, Sampaloc, Sta. Mesa and San Andres.
The dire consequences of a major earthquake hitting the Metropolitan area has been the focus of attention by experts on this particular field. The focus of intense discussion is the Marikina Fault which cut across most parts of the metropolis. The experts contend that although Manila had been severely damaged by the earthquakes over the past several years, none of these has been traced to the Marikina Fault Instead in historical times, most of these have emanated from the Philippine fault, an active earth rupture nearly 100 kilometers east of Metro Manila. The experts conclude therefore that even without considering the Marikina Fault, Manila is vulnerable to high intensity earthquakes.
Above all of these concerns are opportunities for development for the City of Manila. Amidst tight supply of land resources and other related concerns, the City's strategic location, economic vitality and historic/socio-cultural significance open many windows of opportunity for development. The political mandate bestowed towards the renewal of Manila is unmistakably immense.
Manila, being the country's center of trade and commerce has well-developed facilities and services m transport, communications, power, recreation and infrastructure. Its well equipped seaport facilities open the country to international trading. It serves as the major trading center of the Philippines, the hub of the country's shipping network and the jump-off point for the country's numerous island destinations.
Historically, Pasay, Makati, Navotas, Malabon and San Juan were parts of Manila that eventually became separate local government units. Manila has already reached the apex of its development potential maximizing the use of its land resources. The development direction that it can pursue is to go upward and intensify inner regenerative activities.
Manila is foreseen to undergo a great extent of redevelopment in the downtown area – Rizal Avenue, Quiapo, San Nicolas, Binondo and the '~red light" districts of Ermita and Malate. Direction of regenerative activities are also expected in Paco and Sta. Ana while rebuilding is anticipated in Pandacan when high-intensity industries are lifted in the area. Underutilized land resources which may be redeveloped into a community with medium or high-rise social housing provided with open space for park and utilities will change population and land use pattern in the city.
Decentralizing international shipping activities in the South Harbor and additional railway access in the inner core of the city, particularly in the North harbor, would mean lesser pressure on the radial roads and other city streets nearby. However, industrial activities in Tondo would create additional road demand and strong development pressure for nearby municipalities such as Navotas and Malabon or the city of Kalookan
The magnitude of industrial estate development in the northern part of Tondo signifies development pressure on land, housing and other basic services. 'The present population density of the area poses a warning that utilities and other services are becoming insufficient, more so when the industries are fully operational.
Land scarcity in the city is well-recognized and territorial expansion is no longer feasible. Alternatively, it can go beyond its land limits along the Manila Bay. This, however, will be dictated by its impact to the environment and its viability.
Manila is strategically located on the eastern coast of Manila Bay at the mouth of the Pasig River. Despite the existence of other regional growth centers, many cities in the country, particularly in the Metropolitan Manila area highly depend on the City of Manila for shipping facilities. The city's well developed harbor facilities link it to different parts of the country as well as the rest of the world. Likewise, Manila is only a few kilometers away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Parañaque via Roxas Boulevard.
What better way is there to interact with people than by directly involving themselves in socially wholesome and enriching activities? People are the primary players in linking one area to another. Manila may seem overly congested but this does not deter people from other places to come and visit the city's interesting sites.
Other engaging areas which draw tourists, both local and international are the bazaar and trade centers as well as the convention and cultural centers located in the reclaimed portion of the city. Trade proliferate in the areas of Divisoria and the Chinese district of Binondo. Manila is also frequently visited for its famed fine dining restaurants mostly in Adriatico and its esteros fast food chain located in Binondo.
Manila's accessibility is attributed to its roads, utilities and communication facilities. With its eight radial roads and its railways, Manila is linked with its neighboring cities and municipalities, giving access to places as far as Region 3 and 4. The Pasig River is now being utilized as an alternative transport gateway to the east connecting the city with Mandaluyong, Makati, Marikina and Pasig.
The City of Manila has undergone rapid urbanization for the past several decades. Whatever plans that were in place were overwhelmed by the rapid developments that took place. The City determined to restore the old glory of Manila and the prestige it deserves. To achieve this, we shall be guided by the following development goals:
Human and Ecological Security
It shall be our goal to provide human and ecological security to improve the quality of life of the people of Manila. The city government is determined to address the needs of our constituents without sacrificing the ecological balance between man and tile environment This goal would mean alleviation , if not freedom from poverty, social injustices and economic imbalance – complemented with sound ecologically balanced environment. It acknowledges that concern for the environment in relation to man should be far more integrated in the process of governance.
Urban Regeneration
The physical, social, economic, and political structures of the city need to be revitalized to accommodate and respond to the irreversible complexities brought by urbanization a midst accelerating population. The demands created by these activities in a old city like Manila compelled the city government to resort for urban regeneration, to upgrade the city infrastructure and services, restore and rehabilitate existing cultural landmarks, and spur the city's development that is responsive to the needs of both present and future requirements.
The City of Manila shall be guided by the following policies and strategies that shall serve as development pillars in the pursuit of the City's development goals.
Dynamic and Responsive Local Governance
Manila's built-in advantages as a premier city and as the nation's trading and commercial center have not been fully utilized. The prestige associated with the city's rich historical past and its superior natural and human resources have not been a major tributary to alleviate the city's monstrous ~ problems. Moreover, the inability to exercise, and maximize these built-in advantages as a result of traditional local governance has stirred the city into a decaying metropolis. Local Government Code of 1991 provides local functions of autonomous power and a corporate character, encourages and supports every local functionary to be dynamic and responsive in handling their respective local affairs. In this light, the city government firmly believes that in order to facilitate the realization of its developmental goals and objectives, it is first and foremost to lay down the foundation of a dynamic and responsive local governance, and let the same be institutionalize
Participatory Governance
Participatory governance unveils the strategy of integrated and coordinated approaches. Such policy and strategy entice and encourage all sectors of the society to take part and make a bold step in shaping the city's development plight in connection with their respective sect oral needs, not allowing the city government alone to shoulder all the burdens and initiatives, but rather share with the local government quest for socio-economic deliverance. Moreover, transparency within the approaches ensure the active, dynamic and productive partnership between the government, barangay officials and the private sectors towards a renewed envisioned City of Manila.
"BRING BACK THE OLD GLORIES OF MANILA." The slogan openly acknowledged the urgent need to restore and regenerate the city's physical structures and facilities. The challenge to regenerate the city now rides with the Urban Renewal and Land Use Management strategy of the city government. Urban planning as a tool facilitates direction to build a desirable regenerated urban structure. It creates opportunities resulting front spatial planning as well as enhances and promotes cultural landmarks management and implants the land use pattern reflective of the city's comprehensive development plan.
The '"PRO-LIFE" advocacy of the city government encompasses calls for an ecologically-balance and sustainable environment to support the life-cycle system. It shall include the ability to protect and ensure that all living things are adequately provided without sacrificing the needs of future generations.. This is "PRO-LIFE POLICY" – dynamic and responsive in its calling, preventive and curative in dealing with the problems of urban environment It is not a policy that deals merely with the life of the unborn, but rather it is concern with the more broader meaning of LIFE, such as the God given natural and physical resources)., the entire interwoven LIFE support- system, its synergy, and complementarily for a better and sustainable quality of life now and the future.
