CONCEPT NOTE
This year’s Research Colloquium was upgraded to include international Guests and
Resource Speakers and presenters from our link institutions. The theme of this year’s Research
Colloquium is “Disaster Risk Reduction in Changing Climate towards Business
Continuity”.
Exposure of people and assets to disasters are on the rise, leading to new risks and
increase economic and human losses. Recent disasters have shown that the effectiveness with
which a disaster is managed will depend highly on how much effort has been put in preparedness
measures. The Hyogo Framework for Action states that, “At times of disasters, impacts and
losses can be substantially reduced if authorities, individuals and communities in hazard-prone
areas are well prepared and ready to act and are equipped with the knowledge and capacities for
effective disaster management”. Further, Post Hyogo Framework; Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 under section II: Hyogo framework for Action: gaps
identified and future challenges (7th paragraph) expressed in under read as “There is a need for
the public and private sectors and civil society organizations, as well as academia and
2nd IDRM-RC QCX- October 14, 2017 Page 2
scientific and research institutions, to work more closely together and to create opportunities
for collaboration, and for businesses to integrate disaster risk into their management
practices”. Further under 8th paragraph it stated that the international, regional, subregional and
transboundary cooperation remains pivotal in supporting the efforts of States, their national
and local authorities, as well as communities and businesses, to reduce disaster risk”.
The Sendai Framework aims to achieve the over the next 15 years: The substantial
reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic,
physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and
countries.
One of the guiding principles of Sendai Framework (e) emphasised that “Disaster risk
reduction and management depends on coordination mechanisms within and across sectors
and with relevant stakeholders at all levels, and it requires the full engagement of all State
institutions of an executive and legislative nature at national and local levels and a clear
articulation of responsibilities across public and private stakeholders, including business and
academia, to ensure mutual outreach, partnership, complementarities in roles and accountability
and follow-up”.
Finally to achieve the national and local levels goals it is important to mainstream and
integrate disaster risk reduction within and across all sectors and review and promote the
coherence and further development, as appropriate, of national and local frameworks of laws,
regulations and public policies, which, by defining roles and responsibilities, guide the public
and private sectors in: (i) … (ii) promoting and providing incentives, as relevant, for actions
by persons, households, communities and businesses;…(iv)…
The Sendai Framework priority 3: Investing in Disaster risk reduction for resilience read
as “… (o) To increase business resilience and protection of livelihoods and productive
assets throughout the supply chains, ensure continuity of services and integrate disaster
risk management into business models and practices”. Further to achieve global and regional
level resilient under priority 3: “…(b) To promote the development and strengthening of
disaster risk transfer and sharing mechanisms and instruments in close cooperation with
partners in the international community, business, international financial institutions and other
relevant stakeholders…(i) To promote and support collaboration among relevant public and
private stakeholders to enhance the resilience of business to disasters…”
Under the role of Stakeholders: …(c) Business, professional associations and private
sector financial institutions, including financial regulators and accounting bodies, as well
as philanthropic foundations, to integrate disaster risk management, including business
continuity, into business models and practices through disaster-risk-informed investments,
especially in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises; engage in awareness-raising and
training for their employees and customers; engage in and support research and
innovation, as well as technological development for disaster risk management; share and
disseminate knowledge, practices and non sensitive data; and actively participate, as
appropriate and under the guidance of the public sector, in the development of normative
frameworks and technical standards that incorporate disaster risk management.”
2nd IDRM-RC QCX- October 14, 2017 Page 3
The Philippines is a disaster-prone country; as such, it is empirical that all sectors
develop their disaster management and risk reduction strategies. Disasters can severely impact
private and public firms. While having a business continuity plan is an effective solution to
mitigate damage to operations and image when disasters hit, proactive strategies to reduce the
risk of disasters are essential to ensure long-term competitiveness and sustainability. Hence,
engagement in disaster risk reduction activities is vital. Disaster risk reduction strategy needs to
be integrated in standard business solutions, together with measures to adapt to climate change
variability and economic challenges. Investing in disaster risk reduction ensures business
continuity, safeguards long-term investments, and provides protection to individuals,
communities and environments.
The theme of the symposium is also in line with the celebration of the International Day for
Disaster Reduction on 13 October which aims to create awareness and recognition of the
importance of disaster risk reduction in building resiliency towards sustainable development.

Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning: A Quezon City Perspective
MBA, Special Seminar DRM 1 Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented By: Guillan May C. Tibule
Like in other countries, land use planning is imperative because of the scarcity of land.
Land use planning aims to find a balance among competing and sometimes contradictory uses.
The Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning is the long-term framework plan that defines the desired
physical pattern of a locality in the context of urban vulnerability and disaster risk reduction. The
Quezon City has a Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) ratified by the Metropolitan Manila
Development Authority and approved by Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board last
September 21, 2017 with the Disaster Risk Plan and Climate Change Adaptation features
incorporated with the previous CLUP. The abrupt climate change and frequent occurrence of
earthquake manifests imbalance in the nature’s equilibrium. The increase in the precipitation
pattern and volume and the existence of the West Valley traversing the Eastern portion of QC
predisposes us to risks and increases the probability of loss of human life and property.
Following the Framework for Mainstreaming Integrated Action Plan in Comprehensive Land
Use Plan based on 12 steps methodology of HLURB, a risk sensitive land use plan for Quezon
City was produced which resulted to the recently approved 2016 – 2025 CLUP. In the
preparation of CLUP, LGUs must integrate the DRM CCA concept to ensure that the resulting
plan will lead to building resilient community not just to comply with law, but most importantly,
to protect the community and the constituency.

A Framework for Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation for the Social
Sector: The Case of Quezon City MBA, Special Seminar DRM 2 Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Mirasol M. Santos
Quezon City is the largest city in the National Capital Region in terms of population and
land area. The city has 142 barangays across six (6) districts and 30% of the population are 15
years old and below. In-migration of unemployed population continues to be one of the
predominant challenges in the City, exerting pressure on its capacity for climate change
adaptation. A high poverty incidence of 34.99% and a significant portion of the population
comprised of informal settlers are indicative of low personal adaptive capacity of the City’s
marginalized constituents against the effects of climate change. An assessment of the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats against the seven (7) National Climate Change Action
Plan priority areas was formulated for Quezon City focusing on its impact to the social sector.
The resulting assessment provided insights and direction on the formulation of a risk-sensitive
social sector development plan for Quezon City. It enabled identification of objectives,
strategies, policies as well as major programs that are aligned towards enhancing the City’s
climate change adaptation capacity. The Framework for Enhancing Climate Change
Adaptation for the Social Sector has allowed for the integration of risk-sensitive objectives and
strategies and has guided the review of the Local Development Investment Program for the
social sector.

Fiscal Policy of Bureau of Customs in Reforming its Administration towards
Business Continuity DBA, Fiscal Policy Class PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Danilo S. Lambin
The Bureau of Customs is one of the oldest agencies in the Philippine government and
apparently it was not able to keep pace with the needs of changing times in the world market.
The seamless globalized trading has rendered the services of Customs almost irrelevant, if not
superfluous. Due to free trade and zero tariff agreements between nations, the Bureau of
Customs has recently been in the center of controversy as news of rampant smuggling and
perennial corruption in the agency got exposed. Administration after administration tried to re-
invent the Bureau of Customs by creating social bodies and presidential task forces to help the
agency curb smuggling and other violations of the Customs and tariff Code but these efforts
seem to be ineffective. The research aims to review and develop the Fiscal Policies of the
Bureau, eventually leading to reforms towards business continuity.

Bridging the Gaps in Operations of a Construction Industry for Business
Continuity MBA, Production and Operation Management Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Chona M. Austria, Lysa S. Banquiray, Ariel Q. Deinla
Construction is inherently risky, but it is argued to be less technically complex than
projects in industries such as software, defense, and engineering. This is true because it is simply
about using specialists in design and construction to produce a project within a specified
timescale. A report by London-based Timetric’s Construction Intelligence Center (CIC) showed
that the Philippine construction industry is seen to grow to $47 billion by 2020 from $30.2
billion last 2016 on a compound annual growth of 9.22 percent. According to the report, the rate
of construction growth in the Philippines will remain relatively high until 2020, fueled by greater
focus on infrastructure improvement and continued expansion of residential and commercial
buildings. Thus, the task of effective risk management in construction is the prevention of losses
caused by exposure to risk, for example accidents, loss of money or time, damage to property or
loss of reputation. The aim of this study is to identify and create preventive measures and
contingency plans to reduce the gap between Accomplishments and Scheduled Operations. By
bridging this gap, the financial, operational and management risks are being addressed to ensure
continuous operation of the company and accomplishment of the construction project.

Infosonic Technology-Based Transaction System for MINISTOP Store MBA, Management Information Systems Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Mariella S. Masiglat, Aeron L. Villanueva,
Chona M. Austria, & Nikka F. Raymundo
Over the years, customer loyalty and safe payment transaction create a demand for card-
less and cash-less transaction transformation according to eComscape 2017. Mobile transactions
in the Philippines since 2011 proved to be convenient in the retail market for small and medium
enterprises. In 2013, Ministop launched a card-less loyalty system using android tablets as a
platform but unfortunately it did not end up in success. However, their direct competitor, 7-
eleven has three (3) different systems available for mobile transacting that includes a payment
kiosk (Cliqq), a loyalty card system, and a mobile wallet system. Competition in the retail market
is tight and this makes Ministop a good venue to introduce innovation in mobile payment by
adapting a digital transaction technology between merchant, issuer and customers. The research
is intended to offer Ministop a breakthrough solution that will guarantee safe payment
experience for customers with a multiple layer of channels and factor authentications for security
while being cash-less and card-less in nature. The system will use a Korean based technology
called infosonic that can replace QR code scanning and thumb-print authentication. It uses any
device’s speaker and microphone to transmit data converted from text files to mp3. The research
covers improving customer experience through the use of a trendy sound based confirmation tool
powered with 2 channels and factor authentication aspect called “SoundPAY”. The research will
include the Technology Overview, User-Interface layer, Back-end Integration, Solution
Offerings, and Value-Added Services.

Disaster Risk Reduction of Cloud-based Desktop
MBA, Management Information Systems Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Luther U. Apalis, Ian Emmanuel T. Gasolasco,Margareth M. Pablo, and
Cherrynel G. Petallar
A fortune is often spent for hardware, software procurement and upgrades by companies that
require high system specifications due to the demanding needs of their operations. The fast
revolution of technology poses an ordeal to make unplanned and out-of-the-budget hardware
upgrades to carry out a two to three-year worth of software upgrades. These needs are addressed
by the introduction of cloud desktop. Cloud desktop reduces cash outflows and maximizes or
even lengthens the utilization of the equipment by having the company’s data located in one
storage. Cloud desktop will provide a versatile workspace for companies requiring high demand
in hardware specifications whether for laptops or desktops. It will allow users to access data
anytime and anywhere, as long as internet access is available. The research will provide valuable
information on the advantages of cloud desktop in a corporate environment. It will also show the
preparation of cloud desktop for businesses and other possible uses of creating cloud desktop
services in the current market. The primary focus of the paper is to highlight the efficiency of
cloud in performing business needs and the safeguards employed to protect the business from
different risks. The research arrived at the conclusion that it is imperative for every huge
organization to have cloud virtual system in order to safeguard company data and reduce cost on
fast paced hardware upgrades and maintenance.

Presented By: Lysa S. Banquiray, Bo Ngoc Bui and Rhett C. Dela Cruz
Organizational performance is very vital especially in a market with great competition
and dynamics like Spotify. Organizational performance is measured through different indicators
that will guarantee the continuity of the competitiveness of an organization in a global
marketplace. The talent landscape is always reinventing itself, often quickly changing, as
competition is increasing. Thus, it is necessary to manage the human resource strategically and to
implement policies related to it, along with organizational strategy. The aim of this study is to
give an emphasis on the impact of the value-added human resource management system to build
resiliency into human capital of Spotify.

On-the-Go Solar-Powered Charging Station in 7eleven Stores to Promote a
Greener Environment MBA Management Information Systems Class, PSBA-Manila
Presentated By: Salvador A, Briboneria Jr., Aime O. Lauson, Jonalyn M. Amparo and Alan
Lancelot D. Makasiar
Solar Energy has been continually gaining popularity as it is a free source of renewable
energy through the use of solar panels. Solar panels absorb the sunlight which is then converted
to electricity. Solar-powered systems use sustainable and inexhaustible energy from the sun to
electrical energy unlike conventional systems that burn biomass which releases sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides, and other undesirable pollutants into the air. The 7-Eleven chain of 24-hour
convenience stores operated by Philippine Seven Corporation is regarded as the leading
convenience store business in the country. These 7-Eleven stores provide a charging service for
electronic gadgets and mobile devices to their customers at a fee. The research aims to develop
Solar-Powered Charging Stations for 7Eleven Convenient Stores located within Metro Manila.
The charging stations will be designed to provide charging service to all kinds of electronic
gadgets currently available in the market. These solar powered charging stations can also create
awareness and promote the advocacy of using clean and renewable energy as lots of Filipinos
use these charging stations within Metro Manila. The result of the research is expected to show
that the investment needed in the development and implementation of Solar-Powered Charging
Stations is feasible. The research will also show that solar-powered charging stations can bring
convenience to users while promoting a healthy environment at the same time.

Prowdooz: Mainstreaming Risk Reduction in Virtual Organic Product
Production System
MBA Management Information Systems Class, PSBA-Manila
Lady Lee Cabriga, Dominador G. Pamitan, Ariel Q. Deinla, Wilven John C. Gadian
According to an interview conducted with the National Coordinator of National Organic
Agriculture Program (NOAP) last August 6, 2016, the department is still in search of a better
way to mainstream or even create a steady market for local Filipino organic farmers, consumers,
and dealers. From 2007 alone, many farmers have shifted to the natural way of farming; thus,
converting thousands of hectares of land to organic soil. Initially, it was a challenge to convince
farmers to move into organic ways of farming. Unfortunately, challenges such as farm to market
distribution, high cost of materials, and climate change arise as demand is getting lesser than the
supplies. According to Ms. Famela Perido, Data Specialist from the office of the National
Coordinator, Mr. Christopher G Morales, said that what is lacking right now is a concrete
“MARKET INFORMATION and DELIVERY SYSTEM” specifically designed for organic
farming to market chain. In fact, everyone involved in the industry is in battle with “awareness
and market campaign.”The group is proposing a farm-to-market mobile-based technology that
will provide farm management tools, virtual trading, and crowdfunding/crowdsourcing media to
organic farmers, traders, and consumers. The system has three modules that aim to connect all
stakeholders in a single virtual venue using logical based technology which we call “Prowdooz”.

Analysis of Business Cost Framework for Disaster Risk Management of SMEs
in the Philippines
MBA Management Policy Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented By: Jonnel S. Acoba & Francis S. Castil
Based on the 2016 World Risk Report published by the United Nations University-
Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-IEHS), the Philippines ranked third among
171 countries worldwide with risk of becoming the victim of a disaster resulting from an extreme
natural event with a Risk Index of 26.70 percent. The Philippines, by virtue of its geographic
circumstances, is highly prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
tropical cyclones and floods, making it one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. In
addition, the Philippines has also been exposed to different challenges concerning pandemic
cases and other emerging hazardous or infectious diseases which greatly affect various
businesses in the country. Undoubtedly, these catastrophic challenges induce risk exposure in
capital, logistical and other operational processes and business functions including financial
reporting and management, which compromise business continuity and recovery. Physical
damage and disruption in supply and labor can cause temporary business closure while structural
repairs and replacement of business infrastructures needed to restore operations require large
amount of resources and entail significant business interruption losses. For pandemically-
induced disasters, firms’ reputations, legal responsibilities, regulatory obligations, operations and
supply chains can be affected. The adverse impact may not only be short-term but can have
medium-to-long-term effects. Unfortunately, the disaster risk reduction and management
(DRRM) framework of the Philippine Government has not been effectively translated into local
and sectoral (or business) plans. Philippine SMEs, thus, are highly vulnerable; they have weak
adaptability and limited access to a broader set of coping strategies. (Ballesteros & Domingo,
PIDS 2015). This paper seeks to conduct Cost-benefit Analysis (CBA) in the context of
adopting disaster risk management mechanisms in doing business in the Philippines and
recommend essential steps of integrated risk management, which include risk identification, risk
reduction, and risk sharing/financing which could help Philippine businesses to become resilient
in times of disaster.
Conceptual Framework
2nd
International Disaster Risk Management – Research Colloquium Page 14
The Conceptual Framework of the subject study was patterned from the Manual on
Costbenefit Analysis of Natural Disaster Risk Management in Developing Countries authored by
Reinhard Mechler and was published in 2005 by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fṻr Tecnische
Zusammenabeit (GTZ) GmbH. The conceptual framework includes the following approaches
and methodologies:
1. Risk Analysis. This involves quantitative and qualitative risk analysis measured in terms of
potential impacts to business without risk management mechanisms in-place. This entails risk
analysis as a function of estimating and combining hazard(s) and vulnerability. It also includes
identification of Disasters/Hazards (Intensity and Recurrence), identification of logistical and
operational processes including business infrastructures and identification of
weaknesses/vulnerability (Exposure and Fragility) of business infrastructures to
Disasters/Hazards.
2. Identification of risk management measures and associated costs. This phase covers
identification of potential management projects and alternatives [based on risk assessment] and
the associated financial outlay which covers investment and maintenance costs. This may also
include identified opportunity costs which relate to benefits foregone had these funds been used
for other important organizational objectives.
3. Analysis of risk reduction. After identifying risk management mechanisms and their
associated costs, the benefits of reducing risk are estimated. This may include risk reduction
benefits that can be measured using a specific quantitative metric but may also include a
descriptive identification approach for benefits that are not pecuniary in nature. However, for the
purpose of measuring the net quantifiable effect of business DRM projects, only those costs and
benefits that can be measured quantifiably are included in the framework.
4. Calculation of economic efficiency. Economic efficiency can be measured by comparing
benefits and costs. Costs and benefits which can be incurred or derived over time need to be
discounted to render current and future effects comparable. Additionally, costs and benefits are
compared under a common economic efficiency decision criterion to assess whether benefits
exceed costs.

Development of a Business Continuity Management Program for the Logistics
Function of Food Service Industry in the Philippines
DBA, Quantitative Planning Models Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Ricky Sanros Jr.
Global competitiveness in the food service industry creates a need for businesses in the
industry to adopt measures for business continuity. The Philippines, given its topography
exposes businesses to multiple hazards and the logistics function of the food service industry in
the Philippines are no exemption. The Logistics Function of operation is faced with such hazards
and it is of utmost importance to address these issues by developing a Business Continuity
Management Program. The research aims to develop a Business Continuity Management
Program for a multi hazard environment in the logistics function of the food service industry.
The Plan will encompass contingency planning, disaster preparedness, disaster prevention, and
disaster recovery. The research will consider the three facets of continuity planning which are
people layer, business process layer, and information layer delineating the scope, detail, and key
considerations. The Business Continuity Program developed will be sustainable through regular
review of the hazard parameters in accordance with the company’s business priorities, and
compliance to current government policy, law, and prevailing standards in dealing with
stakeholders.

Climate Disaster Effect on Textile and Ready-Made Garments (RMG)
Industries in Bangladesh Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies (SPRING)
Technische Universitat Dortmund, Germany
University of Philippines, Diliman-Philippines
Presented By: Mohammad Shariful Islam
The export-oriented ready-made garments (RMG) sector in Bangladesh started its
journey in the late 1970s as a small non-traditional sector of export. Now the contribution of
RMG industry to the GDP is over 30%, which employs more than 4 million people. Bangladesh
has reached a new high in export by securing USD 34.24 billion earnings in the fiscal year 2015-
16. According to the IMF, Bangladesh’s economy is the fastest growing economy with 7.11
percent Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate by the year 2016. However, Bangladesh is
already suffering from the adverse effects of climate change and is one of the most vulnerable
countries. This presentation will focus on the challenges of climate change on the RMG
industries of Bangladesh. The RMG sector of Bangladesh is facing problems, hampering the
industrial production and disruption of road network due to disaster events (flood, cyclone),
health effect, labor and their productivity, water crisis in industrial sector, increasing demand and
shortage of energy, changing rainfall pattern and seasons that are hindering the production of raw
materials. As a result, expenses increase for materials, labor and other costs of production,
resulting to a threat to the international competitiveness and FDI of this sector.

KREC’s Diesel-Powered Electric Power Plant: An Initiative towards
Sustainable Development for Bongao, Tawi-Tawi Philippines
DBA, Philosophy of Science and Art of Business Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Rodrigo E. Cabrera
Electricity plays a vital role in the development of rural areas, especially for under
developed countries like the Philippines. It has been shown that electricity is directly connected
to economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainable development. The Philippines,
like other countries, uses regional electrical grids and these grids do not cover the entire country.
One of these locations is the municipality of Bongao, Tawi Tawi. Kaltimex Rural Energy
Corporation (KREC), a Filipino-owned corporation, plans to provide a diesel power plant
through the Tawi Tawi Electric Cooperative (TAWELCO). The diesel power plant is designed
for base load operation for stationary application. It will be used for producing electricity that
will be transmitted through the power lined as well as an island mode of operation. Kaltimex's
operation will be a major contributor to improving the quality of life of people in Tawi Tawi.
The company is looking to provide power to offgrade areas nearby Bongao such as Basilan and
Sulu. The research will discuss important issues encountered during the implementation of the
project. The research will show the current status of electricity distribution in Bongao. Lastly, the
research will determine whether diesel power generation is feasible for achieving affordable
electricity.

APRU-IRIDES Multi-Hazard Summer School Program: An Experience
MBA, Special Seminar, DRM 2 Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Wilven John C. Gadian
The Philippine School of Business Administration (PSBA), joined this year’s Multi-
Hazards Summer School Program in Sendai, Miyagi, Japan, through its partnership with Tohoku
University. This summer school which ran from July 18 to July 21, 2017 was conducted by the
Asia Pacific Rim University (APRU) and the International Research Institute of Disaster
Science. Three students from the DRM program of PSBA -Manila participated in the program,
namely, Mr. Wilven John Gadian, Engr. Rodolfo Arias and Engr. Alfredo Santiano, together
with Dr. Lualhati S. Macapagal, one of the professors of PSBA-Manila Graduate School. The
program was attended by 34 delegates from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, USA, England,
Thailand, Philippines, and Japan. Aside from the students and professor from PSBA, there were
other Filipinas from the University of Reading in London and the University of the Philippines.
The Summer School provided a venue for academic and first-hand experience learning. It did not
only showcase research materials and case studies but it also immersed us to very emotional
scenarios and virtual experience following the Japan Great Eastern Tsunami. The 2011 Tsunami
Japanese experience opened in-depth studies and investigations for better planning, policy-
making, programs for preparedness and opportunities for every country and acted not only as a
lesson but a framework for Disaster Risk Reduction Management and Disaster Recovery as
highlight of the program. The program started by welcoming the delegates with a friendly
opening and a social gathering later at a pristine hotel. The summer school concluded with
several experts’ presentations from different DRM fields and awarding of Certificates of
Appreciation.

The Natural Disaster Risk Management Project (NDRMP): A Community-
Based Disaster Risk Management (CDRM) in Vietnam MBA International Business Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented By: Paul Michael M. Dungo Viet Nam has a total land area of 329,241 square kilometers, including 3,260 square
kilometers of coastline. The size of its waters is significant for strategic and economic reasons.
Nearly 60 percent of its 85 million population depend heavily on it for livelihood and other
economic activities. The very diversity of Viet Nam’s land and water areas makes it vulnerable
to natural disasters such as typhoons, tropical storms, floods, inundation, drought, desertification,
salt penetration, landslides, and earthquakes. Floods and storms are the most common natural
disasters, as they occur frequently and cause considerable damages to lives and property. In
recent years, Viet Nam experienced an upsurge and intensity of these natural disasters. The
country has suffered heavy human, economic, and infrastructure losses from the onslaught of
floods, typhoons, and droughts, among others. It was estimated that from 1995 to 2006, the total
estimated loss from storms, floods, and drought was at VND 61,479 billion, not to mention
massive loss of lives, infrastructures, and livelihoods. The Natural Disaster Risk Management
Project (NDRMP) adopts an innovative approach to disaster risk management in Viet Nam and
provides support for disaster prevention and mitigation measures at all levels of government,
including at community level where vulnerability prevails. The CBDRM is one component of the
NDRMP which aims at strengthening the capacity of villages and communes. It also aims at
the disaster management institutions to become more responsive to the short-term and
longer-term needs of the vulnerable communities through participatory risk assessment and
identification, prioritization, and implementation of risk reduction measures. This research
intends to help communities implement activities that deal with natural hazards through capacity
building in participatory planning and management. Safer village and commune plans that focus
on long-term intervention and preparedness measures were developed. Community-based
disaster risk management projects/programs greatly contributed in reducing vulnerabilities and
increasing community capacity for natural disaster prevention and mitigation.

Flooding and the survival of the informal sector: Case of Auto Mechanics in Agbogbloshie and Old Fadama, Ghana
Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies (SPRING)
Technische Universitat Dortmund, Germany
University of Philippines, Diliman, Philippines
Presented by: Daisy Karen Okyere Darko
Ghana, like many sub-Saharan African countries, continues to receive the brunt of
debilitating impact of climate change and variability. Over the past few decades, urban floods
have become a critical development challenge for major Ghanaian cities with informal
settlements having particularly been affected by storm surges, coastal floods and erosion. The
impact of these floods on the economic base of the affected households has been devastating.
Using Agbogbloshie and Old Fadama (informal settlements) as case communities, this paper
explores the impact of flooding on the survival of auto mechanics as a viable informal business
in these communities. Moreover, the paper examines the extent of vulnerability of the study
communities to climate change impacts and efforts by auto mechanics to mitigate and adapt to
variable situations. Through the study which will involve a limited survey, the paper reveals the
level of vulnerability of auto mechanics in the study communities to flooding. These floods
result in the loss of business capital and damage to property. The paper concludes that state
interventions have not been effective and will require coordinated and sustained efforts from
national and local level institutions to ensure long term resilience to flooding.

Supplier Relationship Management of Selected Food Manufacturing Firms in
NCR: Basis for an Enhanced Supplier Relationship Management Model DBA Individual Dissertation Writing, PSBA-Manila
Leah A. Aquino
The food manufacturing industry continues to dominate the Philippine Industry with
around 23-34% contribution to the annual GDP despite challenges it faced in the recent years.
DTI has created a Manufacturing Industry Roadmap to develop a globally competitive
manufacturing industry. One major area of this roadmap is to address gaps/linkages in industry
supply chains, recognizing the importance and challenges in cost reduction and resource
utilization. Many researches have proven the invaluable contribution of procurement in
improving productivity and efficiency of manufacturing activities. The purchasing function
continually seeks better materials and reliable suppliers, working closely and seeking the
expertise of strategic suppliers and involving suppliers in product design and development efforts
which is the very nature of Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) – the focus of this
research paper. The study will explore the nature and importance of SRM through literature
reviews, interviews and surveys. It will determine best practices in supplier selection,
segmentation, negotiation, collaboration, supplier evaluation and rewards applied in the food
manufacturing industry that will lead to the development of an SRM Model for food
manufacturing industry. It also aims to identify the challenges and issues in the implementation
of SRM that will lead to the development of an SRM Maturity Level Matrix that will serve as
guide in the evaluation of SRM efforts

Humanitarian Logistics in the Context of the Philippines MBA, Special Seminar DRM 1 Class, PSBA-Manila
Presented by: Mary Arlynne T. Aliggayu
Disaster is a damaging phenomenon that disrupts the normal functioning of a system or a
community which causes strong impacts on people, structure, environment that goes beyond the
local capability of response. Disasters test the ability of communities and nations to effectively
protect their populations and infrastructure, to reduce both human and property loss, and to
rapidly recover. The decision-making process in disaster management is, thus, extremely
difficult due to multiple actors, the complexity of tasks and uncertainties. Among those tasks, all
the processes of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow and
storage of goods, materials and (services), as well as related information, from the point of origin
to the point of consumption for meeting the end beneficiaries’ requirements and alleviate
sufferings of vulnerable people is called Humanitarian Logistics, as defined in the Humanitarian
Logistics Conference 2004 (Fritz Institute). The context and nature of decision-making process
needed in Humanitarian Logistics for disaster management may change overtime as we move
from past to present disaster event. This paper will examine the current state of humanitarian
logistics in the country and hopes to 1) assess the current practices and operations in
humanitarian logistics, 2) identify gaps and issues, and 3) recommend actions for improvements.
To achieve the objectives, review existing national and selected local government unit disaster
response plans to know what mechanisms are in place, particularly on logistics, to respond to
disaster, whether they conform to the concept of humanitarian logistics. The analysis of the
pertinent information is expected to reveal if the plan has efficient intermodal transport system,
incorporation of humanitarian logistics in the aspects of land use planning, inclusion of
humanitarian logistics in physical framework plans, formulation of traffic management plan/s for
humanitarian logistics, transport redundancies and resilience, clear channel of information
management and dissemination, and strong support from all sectors. Finally, debris
management, which is crucial for humanitarian logistics, will be mentioned in this endeavor.
