1 Philippines Country Profile

Generic Information 

The Philippines, officially the Republic of the Philippines (FilipinoRepublika ng Pilipinas), is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia. Situated in the western Pacific Ocean, it consists of about 7,641 islands that are broadly categorised under three main geographical divisions from north to south: LuzonVisayas and Mindanao 

The Philippines' location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and close to the equator makes the Philippines prone to earthquakes and typhoons, but also endows it with abundant natural resources and some of the world's greatest biodiversity.

Seasonal Effects on Logistics Capacities

Seasonal Effects on Transport

Transport Type

Time Frame

Comments / Details

Primary Road Transport

From June to November

Rainy season can cause road transport disruptions as rivers over flow their banks, bridges become impassable, and landslide cut off roads.

Secondary Road Transport

From June to November

Same as above

Rail Transport

N/A N/A

Air Transport

From June until January

Rainy season can affect flights and typhoons can ground planes.

Waterway Transport

From June to January

Rainy season can affect flights and typhoons can make water passage dangerous.

Sitting along the Typhoon belt the Philippines see over 20 storms a year hitting the PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility). Most storms that make landfall hit the north-eastern parts of the country. The frequency of these storms has been a trigger for the Philippines to set up early warning systems and invest in disaster preparedness and response.

The Philippines has a distinct rainy season which covers the period June to end of October. During that time flooding and mud slides are common, although they are localised. As a result, there are occasions where roads and bridges become impassable. Additionally, water transport is affected as storms can make travel/transport unsafe.

November to February is considered a cool and dry period. Mountainous regions can become cold.

March to May is the hot season and the temperature can become oppressive.

Humidity is a presence all year round.

Seasonal Effects on Storage and Handling

Activity Type

Time Frame

Comments / Details

Storage

From June to November

Rainy season and typhoon season can put at risk storage structures and make offloading and loading difficult.

Handling

N/A

Other

N/A

Due to the rainy season and typhoon season, handling of commodities can become difficult. Additionally, storage structures can be affected by storms resulting in damage to stored commodities. Storms also affected the safety of loading cargo to be transporter on water ways. Cold chain storage is problematic and does not cover the entire country. Also due to distances movement of cargo needing cold chain becomes complicated and risky. Cargo should always be protected against rain or clearly marked to prevent possible damage. The post-harvest period, late October alert November, can see a scarcity of storage capacity and transport as farmers need to move and store their commodities.

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response

Government

The Government of the Philippines has a long history of preparing for and responding to disasters. As time has gone by, they rely less and less on the international humanitarian community for assistance during response. There is a move within country to handle response without calls for international assistance. There is still willingness to accept assistance, but it of course must respect Government-identified priorities. Disaster preparedness and response is enshrined in law and a National Disaster Response Plan has been adapted. The central Government is much aware of and trained in preparedness and response. Local governments have been less exposed to the same degree of training.

NDRP for Terrorism Incidents 

The Philippines Government has adapted the Cluster System as their modality to organise responses, creating their own clusters. It’s important to be aware of the difference between the two cluster systems. Currently, the Philippine Government recognises the following eleven (11) Emergency Response Clusters, and their respective lead agencies:

  1. SRR: Search Rescue and Retrieval (AFP)
  2. HEALTH: with Sub-Clusters on: Medical and Public Health Services, Water-Sanitation Hygiene (WASH), Mental Health and Psycho-Social Support Services (MHPSS), and Nutrition (DOH)
  3. IDPP: Internally Displaced Persons Protection (DSWD)
  4. CCCM: Camp Coordination and Camp Management (DSWD)
  5. FNFI: Food and Non-Food Items (DSWD)
  6. LOG: Logistics with Sub-Clusters on: Warehousing, Transportation, & Services (OCD)
  7. LAO: Law and Order (PNP)
  8. ET: Emergency Telecommunications (OCD)
  9. EDU: Education (DepEd)
  10. PIHA: Philippine International Humanitarian Assistance (DFA)
  11. MDM: Management of the Dead and Missing (DILG)

Humanitarian Community

The humanitarian community in the Philippines is in transition, from a direct responder to a capacity builder and supporter of the Government-led responses, as a result of the Government taking on a bigger role within disaster response and also as a result of the country moving towards an upper middle-income status. Needs remain but transitional humanitarian actors find the Government able and willing to fill the gaps.

As the Government becomes more capable and willing to lead disaster response the overall role of the humanitarian community continues to shrink. Although when a disaster strikes there is a knowledge base remaining in country through years of collective experience. The Humanitarian Cluster system has been used in many responses and is known by all actors, including the Government. Therefore, scaling up should not be a problem. Furthermore, more private sector originations are becoming involved in response and their capacities and impact will grow.

Organizations have invested large amounts of resources over the last decade in disaster preparedness. Through trainings, stockpiling of goods, and structure reforms organisations have worked to build the capacity of Government. Disaster preparedness initiatives are required to roll-down at district and community level to ensure strengthened response mechanisms are in place across the country..

The Bureau of Food and Drug (BFAD) and the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards (BAFPS) regulate food quantity and import and export of agriculture products within the Philippines. Under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, FDA was made responsible for the safety of processed food products while the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) made BAFPS accountable for fresh and primary agricultural and fisheries products. 

The Department of Agriculture is responsible for food safety in the primary production and post-harvest stages of the supply chain. The Department of Health is responsible for the safety of processed and pre-packaged foods, both locally produced and imported, and the conduct of epidemiological studies.  Local government units (LGUs) will monitor the compliance with food safety standards of food businesses such as slaughterhouses, dressing plants, wet markets, supermarkets, school canteens, restaurants, catering establishments, as well as street food sales.  The Department of the Interior and Local Government, in collaboration with the DA and DOH will supervise the enforcement of food safety and sanitary rules and regulations.  A Food Safety Regulation Coordinating Board was created to monitor compliance with the law, coordinate management and planning during food safety emergencies, and establish policies and procedures for coordination among agencies involved in food safety. 

The Department of Health is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for ensuring access to basic public health services by all Filipinos through the provision of quality health care and the regulation of all health services and products. 

Organizations wishing to import medicine and/or medical equipment must check carefully the regulations provided by the Department of Health as certain items are prohibited: Department of Health website

Port Performance

As a Freeport, it operates as a separate customs territory similar to Hong Kong, Singapore, Lubuan in Malaysia and Hamburg in Germany. It is envisioned to be a major transshipment point for trade in the Asia-Pacific rim. The rehabilitation and upgrading of the existing facilities have the following phases:

Phase I – immediate port upgrading including repairing, lengthening and widening of the existing berth; developing of a container yard; provision of cold storage facilities and general cargo warehousing.

Phase II – Construction of additional berths to accommodate up to 300,000 TEUs; expansion of the container yard area.

Phase III – Construction of additional berths to accommodate an incremental capacity of up to 200,000 TEUs; proportionate expansion of the container yard and acquisition of modern equipment for cargo handling and storage.

2.1.16 Philippines - Luzon Port of Batangas



Port Overview

The Batangas City Port is the jump off point for travelers who wish to visit nearby islands. It serves to passengers mostly from the Cavite-Laguna- Batangas-Rizal-Quezon (Calabarzon) Region but travelers from Manila are also common. There are two major terminals here, one for passengers and the other for cargo and shipping.

The Bauan International Port is operated by the Integrated Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI).The Bauan terminal is approximately 120 kilometers south of Manila and nine kilometers west of Batangas City. Facing the Batangas Bay, the terminal is within a natural cove, and is protected from adverse weather conditions by several islands, which are clearly visible from the bay. The terminal supports cargo movements in and out of the Calabarzon. An agro-industrial hub, Bauan is a first-class municipality in the Batangas province. Batangas, in turn, is one of five provinces that compose the CALABARZON region, the Philippines’ automotive hub. For instance, shipment from the Philippine operations of Japanese car makers Mitsubishi and Honda pass through the Bauan port.

The Batangas Container Terminal (BCT) is operated by the Asian Terminals Inc (ATI). It is a major trading port outside Metro Manila serving major industries in Southern Luzon.

2.1.29 Philippines - Luzon Port of Tilik



Port Overview

Port Tilik is entered about 5 miles southeast of Lubang, sheltered from all winds, and is completely protected from the sea. The holding ground within Port Tilik is good, but the small anchorage area is restricted to small vessels with local knowledge. A light marks the west side of the entrance to the port. The narrow entrance, between the reefs on either side, is open to the north-northwest and has depths of 18 to 26 m. A drying reef divides the head of the port into two small, but good anchorages. The west shore of the port can be approached until the anchorage off the west entrance point is reached, where there are depths of 6 to 9 m, mud and sand.

2.1.34 Philippines - Luzon Port of Cuyo



Port Overview

The Port of Cuyo on the west coast of Cuyo Island, the largest town in the Cuyo Island group. Buoys mark the north and south entrance points to the port. The entrance channel at the buoys is 7.3 m deep and 160 m wide. Depths decrease to 1.5 m off a pier. There are two piers at Cuyo. The stone mole, about 240 m long, has a reported depth of 2.1 m off its head. The stone causeway extends almost 640 m offshore, with its outer 40 m submerged 0.3 m below water. The remaining part of the causeway is in disrepair and used only by small boats. Small vessels can anchor about 800 m of the pier, in 7.3 m, or closer in if draft will allow.

During the Southwest Monsoon (May to September), vessels can anchor closer off the reef that fringes the north side of Bisucay Island. Anchorage can also be taken during southwest storms in the bay on the southeast side of Cuyo Island.

2.1.35 Philippines - Luzon Port of El Nido



Port Overview

The Port of El Nido on the island of Bacuit (El Nido), the most important town on the west coast of Palawan, is situated on the east of the peninsula of which Ipil Point is the southwest extremity. The town is situated at the head of a small bay which is fringed by a drying reef and fronted by foul ground as far as 800 m off its head. A stone causeway, its outer end in ruins, is located at the west end of town where a church is a prominent landmark. Anchorage can be taken 1.6 km north of town, in depths of 15 to 16.5 m, mud, protected from all but north winds. Occasional variable squalls of hurricane force blow through the gaps in the highlands making the anchorage untenable. Vessels approach the anchorage from the west via the narrow passage between the headland and Cadlao Island.From the north, the approach lies east and southeast of this island.

2.1.45 Philippines - Luzon Port of Cataingan



Port Overview
