5 The effect of this uncontrolled growth of people results to high incidence of dire poverty, increasing unemployment, flooding problems, waste management problems and traffic congestion. Moreover, the extent of urban basic services, namely housing, school facilities and health services cannot cover the requirements of the rapidly growing sectors of the population. POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT Based on the 2012 National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) data, poverty incidence in Caloocan -Malabon-Navotas-Valenzuela (CAMANAVA) Region was registered at percent. This was slightly higher than the average of NCR s percent. The poverty threshold for a family of five living in NCR should be earning a monthly income of PhP8, to be able to sustain its minimum basic food and non-food needs.

6 Compared to the previous years 2006 and 2009, the 2012 poverty incidence of Caloocan in particular or CAMANAVA as a region had shown improvement. Also to be considered are the Informal Settler Families (ISF) needs to assistance in livelihood and employment opportunities in order to enhance their earning potential. Based on 2013 data, there are 54,953 families or percent considered as ISF, of which percent are located in North Caloocan and percent in South Caloocan . The city provides the proper venue, like manpower training center to hold increasing demand for alternative livelihood and skills programs seminars in lieu of formal education. With the strong assistance of the City Government to the poor families, the city aims to establish a trading center/ bagsakan center with low-priced commodities that would ensure the sufficiency in food supply and stability in the prices of goods.

9 Recurrent problems of flood and destruction of properties due to typhoons is expected to aggravate this coming rainy season. In Caloocan City, the cause of severe flood problems mostly due to overflow, excessive rainfall and inadequate channel capacity. In some areas of the City within higher elevation, accidents from flooding are cause by erosion and landslides. All of the areas where cases of severe flood problems gave rise to the loss of property and some lives (on isolated cases) as well. In a study conducted under the Greater Metro Manila Area Risk Assessment Project (GMMA RAP) and estimated hectares or some 15 barangays in South Caloocan is susceptible to high and very high flooding while in the North Caloocan 18 barangays will suffer high flooding and 18 will experience very high flooding with a total estimated area of hectares.

10 Generally, flat and low elevations of some portions are also prone to tidal floods particularly in portions of Dagat-Dagatan DEVELOPMENT Project. Among areas classified as flood disaster prone areas are Maypajo (Isla San Juan) - Marulas Area, Portions of Dagat-Dagatan Area, La Loma Cemetery Wall, Libis Baesa Area, Malaria-Barracks, and some subdivisions in North Caloocan City. Another significant cause of flooding in Caloocan City is land DEVELOPMENT consequences. Rapid DEVELOPMENT of urban settlements generally, in North Caloocan City, causes the replacement of vegetated and forested areas with (concrete and other non-permeable) pavements. To the same extent, the notable aftermath of urban DEVELOPMENT in the whole City, is the loss or reduction of natural waterways due to reclamation blockage8 and the conversion of some natural streams into underground drainage (op.)
