GE TAGGING
ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya
Foundation, Inc. is next to use
the Department of AgriculturePhilippine Rural Development
Program’s (DA-PRDP) Applied Geotagging Tool for better monitoring
of its development projects.
The technology is an innovative use of geotagging, pioneered to improve transparency in
government infrastructure projects to avoid fraud
and corruption especially in remote areas with
the use of Global Positioning System (GPS).
Users need to have GPS-enabled phones and
internet connection in order to upload the
captured photos to Google then the data will
be embedded to Google Earth. Right now,
DA-PRDP is sharing this procedure to different
agencies to help in project managements and
development programs.
WHO SAID GEO-TAGGING IS ONLY FOR
ENGINEERS?
The good thing about geo-tagging is that, one
does not need to be an engineer to do it.

With the use of the technology, Local
Government Units and citizens can now monitor
the before, during, and after of different
projects in different areas.
But according to Engr. Samuel Belamide, the
Geo-mapping and Governance Specialist of
DA-PRPD, geo-tagging does not end after
project completion. “Geo-tagging does not stop
after a project has been completed or only until
the operation and maintenance,” he said. “It
can also be used in impact evaluation. So after
three years, what is the impact of this particular
project? We can also know that using geotagging.”
BENEFITS FOR ALKFI
DA-PRDP’s Applied Geo-tagging tool is a great
assistance to ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya
Foundation, Inc.’s projects and programs.
It is cost-efficient and for easy reference.
Because of the technology used, it will allow
project managers, agencies, donors and
partners, to verify and monitor the changes
and developments of the projects being
done in the community without travelling to
the site or going to the exact location of the
community.

It will also provide important information of the
projects such as dates, locations, and be able to
get rid of forged data.
The next goal of ALKFI is to use geo-tagging
in the communities of Samar and Tacloban to
monitor the reconstruction and rehabilitation
efforts being done, to train the residents of
BNJ who will be the front liners to help in
supervising the progress in the community of
BayaNiJuan sa Southville 7 may it be about
the projects or the residents, and to administer
the ongoing rehabilitation of different esteros
under Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig, through its
Information Technology Department.
ALKFI is also looking forward to more possibilities
to use geo-tagging to its other programs.

Tool of the Department of Agriculture, visit

ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation,
Inc. commits to make a significant impact in
the strategic areas of child care, environment,
education and disaster management by leveraging

Estero de Paco

Estero de San Miguel

Estero de Aviles

Esteros in Manila remain untouched by Typhoon Mario

(l-r): Estero de Concordia, Estero de Sampaloc, Estero de Valenci and Estero de Santibañez

Releasing around 10 inches of raindrops that drowned
most of the cities in Metro Manila and nearby provinces,
Typhoon Mario now joins the roster of the worst
typhoons together with Ondoy and Yolanda. Within the
24-hour period of September 19, Typhoon Mario caused
massive flooding displacing at least 37,000 residents
from their homes.
Such was not the case in the esteros of Manila. The residents living
nearby remained unruffled recognizing the lush and unclogged waterways
that surround them. ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya’s Kapit Bisig para sa
Ilog Pasig (KBPIP) and notable partners endeavored to rehabilitate these
esteros connected to the Pasig River. The strategy is to clean the river’s
tributaries to genuinely revive the entire river system.
Two years ago, residents from Estero de Paco were also spared from the
flood brought by habagat in August 2012 – a notable feat after the estero
was ravaged by Typhoon Ondoy in 2009. The clogged-free estero prevented
waters from overflowing; instead it just went straight into the streams. As
stated by MMDA Manila Flood Control Head Alexander Mohammad, “The
perennial flooding of Estero de Paco catchment decreased. The flooding

problem was solved. Hopefully all the esteros will be like Estero de Paco.”
“Noong araw kasi kahit konting ulan, may [baha] na kaagad sa amin.
Hindi kagaya ngayon na medyo kampante na kami kasi alam naming
kahit umulan, may ilog na siyang pagdadaanan ng tubig,” shared by Loren
Aguilar, resident, Brgy. 735 Paco Manila.
“Kaya napakalaking bagay nang nalinis ang estero. Dahil nung dumating
ang bagyo, praise God nga po at hindi na kami napasama sa baha,”
Guillerma Muñoz, resident, Brgy. 686 Paco Manila said.
KBPIP is the non-government partner of the Pasig River Rehabilitation
Commission, transforming 17 tributaries of the Pasig River from dangerous,
flood-prone slums into green parks in the city. PRRC is the lead agency in
rehabilitating the Pasig River and its tributaries. Esteros de Paco, Pandacan,
Concordia and Santibañez are under the management of KBPIP.
The success of this project affirms that the dream of having flood-free
Metro Manila can be achieved.

estero rehabilitation.
