COMMUNITY PROFILE OF THE
National Capital Region (Metropolitan Manila)
1. OVERVIEW OF THE LOCALITY
a.) GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
Metro Manila is located at the following coordinates: N 140˚133’ 41.7298” E 1210˚ 2’ 0.636”,
and is bounded by Central Luzon in the north, Sierra Madre Mountains in the east, Laguna de Bay in the
south and Manila Bay in the west. This region is composed of sixteen cities : Quezon, Caloocan, Pasig,
Valenzuela, Parañaque, Taguig, Muntinlupa, Las Piñas, Malabon, Manila, Marikina, Makati, Pasay,
Mandaluyong, Navotas, San Juan and one municipality, Pateros. As of 2015, its total population is
12,877,253 in which 6,368,365 are male and 6,508,888 are female.

            b.) TOPOGRAPHY

           The topography of Metro Manila can be classified into four types: Coastal Margin along Manila
Bay, Guadalupe Plateau, Marikina Valley, and the Laguna Lowlands. Marikina Valley is a pull-apart basin,
and surrounded by Eastern Marikina fault and Western Marikina fault. The alluvium deposit shows a
valley shape along Pasig River, and the alluvium deposit in Coastal Lowland is estimated to be 30 meters
or more. 69% of the region’s land is the Guadalupe Plateau and Marikina Valley which exhibits high
elevation and solid geographical foundations. The remaining portions belong to the Coastal Margins and
Laguna Lowlands which are prone to flooding. The identified flood-prone areas are the cities of Manila,
Navotas, Malabon and parts of Caloocan where land subsidence and rising sea levels are seen as the
cause. On the eastern part, overflow of Pasig and Marikina rivers are seen as the cause of flooding in the
areas of Pasig City, Marikina City, Municipality of Pateros and Taguig City.

            c.) LAND AREA

            Metro Manila has a total land area of 63,600 hectares. Its largest city is Quezon with a land
area of 17,171 hectares while its smallest city, San Juan, has a land area of 595 hectares. More than half
of the land in Metro Manila is for residential and commercial use.

            d.) SLOPE AND RIVERS

           There are networks of rivers throughout Metro Manila that all lead to Manila
Bay or Laguna de Bay. This includes Pasig River which passes through five cities:
Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Pasig and Taguig, and the Tullahan River that passes
through four cities: Mandaluyong, Manila,Quezon, and San Juan. Cities that belong
to the Guadalupe Plateau and Marikina Valley are said to have high elevation and
those situate at the Coastal Margins and Laguna Lowlands are low-lying areas
according to sources, but resources are not enough to determine the slope percent
of most of the cities.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY - LABORATORY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

A.Y. 2019 – 2020 | SECOND SEMESTER | FIRST GRADING
BASIC CONCEPTS OF DISASTER, DISASTER RISK, HAZARD, EXPOSURE, VULNERABILITY
ACTIVITY # 1

OJECTIVES: Through a freestyle presentation, the students should be able to

demonstrate critical understanding on how various societal and environmental
factors of a given locality could determine disaster risk or result to a disaster.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. 7 groups with 7 – 8 members. Assign a leader and an assistant leader for each
group.
2. The teacher will assign among the given community: Albay, Baguio City,
Benguet, Metro Manila, Batanes, Tacloban, Batanggas
3. Accomplish the provided community profile data sheet of the assigned locality.
* Note in the profile data sheet the sample / template Legends:
RED – Sample content (retain if applicable, delete if not)
BLACK – things you need to accomplish (do not delete)
4. Based on the following guide questions, analyze, organize and do a freestyle
presentation of the gathered data. Presentation is limited to a maximum of 10
minutes per group and a 10 minutes question and answer session.
a. What types of hazard did the community experienced?
b. For each hazard, what were the exposed elements and vulnerabilities which may
have led to disaster/s?
c. Comparing same type of hazard that happened in the locality at different times,
what changes happened to the different disaster risk factors which may have
intensified or abated the impact/s of the hazard?
5. Refer to the rubric below for your guidance.
(Rubrics to follow… sorry…..)
OUTPUTS
Written Work: Community Profile
Presentation: Freestyle: reporting, speech choir, spoken poetry, dramatization, etc.
