Philippines

Most manganese ore mining operations in the Philippines are categorized as small scale. That means registration can be done on a regional basis and gathering all these from the government offices concerned can be challenging.

I know of several small scale operations in the Philippines and I can direct you to them if you want. Please do not be misled by the term "small scale". Volumes can vary depending on the grade of the ore and/or market demand. A shipment of several thousand tons are normal.

Physics education in the Philippines has been heavily influenced by the country's colonization by Spain, America, and Japan. It started to gain significant momentum in the early 1900s with the establishment of formal physics departments in universities. Over the years, the field has grown through collaborations with international institutions, advancements in research, and the training of skilled Filipino physicists both locally and abroad. Today, physics in the Philippines plays a crucial role in various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and environmental conservation.

Land resources of the Philippines are;

The total land area of the Philippines is estimated to be 300,000 square kilometers. This is made up of forests, plains, mountains, plateaus, and the mineral reserves. The Constitution dictates our land resources to be classified to agricultural, forests or timber, mineral lands, and national parks. Our land resources are important to us as they provide most of our needs. We get our daily sustenance from the lands around us. They are essential places for breeding, domesticating, and hunting. The trees that provide shelter and freshen the environment are also planted on land. Most of all, land resources provide us with the raw materials needed for production.

Pateros City is the Smallest City in the Philippines, with an area of 2.1 square kilometers. or 0.8 Sq meters

Why it became a city? because In 2011 the Office of Pateros announced that it became a city.

Some notable Filipino physicists include Reinabelle Reyes, who contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson particle; Caesar Saloma, recognized for his work in non-linear optics and molecular interaction; and Roger Posadas, known for his research on quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics.

Famous Filipino physicist: Dr. Rogel Mari Sese, known for his work in space science and technology. Foreign physicist: Albert Einstein, renowned for his theory of relativity and contributions to quantum mechanics.

Some famous Filipino physicists include Dr. Roger Posadas, known for his work on theoretical and computational physics; Dr. Elizabeth H. Montano, known for her research on physics education and nanotechnology; and Dr. Caesar Saloma, a National Scientist of the Philippines recognized for his contributions to optics and photonics.

introduced or developed accelerator chips that improved computer performance, helped make the internet possible by contributing to the development of the Ethernet controller chip, created the local bus concept for personal computers.

Gregorio Zara is a Filipino physicist that discovered the Law of Electrical Kinetic Resistance. Another well known physicist from the Philippines is Paulo Campos for his work in nuclear medicine and contributions to the first radioisotope laboratory.

Philippines is facing scarcity of renewable natural resources such as soil and fresh water. This declining availability results in lower agricultural production, economic decline or stagnation.

Are you speaking about square mileage or population? Although it's made up of lots of different islands, the Philippines includes about 300,000 square kilometers (115,831 square miles) of land. That's not so small.

The population numbers more than 97 million people (as of July 2007). That's also not very small.

Afghanistan's geographic location at the crossroads of Central, South, and East Asia has made it a strategic and often contested area throughout history. Its mountainous terrain has provided natural defenses but also made it difficult to govern, leading to a history of invasions and conflicts by neighboring empires. The country's location along the ancient Silk Road also contributed to its cultural exchange and diversity.

Why are the Philippines different from other countries where nuclear power is used routinely, like the US, Canada, France, UK? I believe you have a plant that was built but never operated, which seems very extravagant. In the UK we could not afford to do this. I think you will have to look at your own society, history, and politics, to decide if it is wise to have nuclear power. I believe there is a history of terrorism in the Philippines, so you need to consider can any plant be protected. Do you have earthquakes? That is another disadvantage if so. And would the owners and operators be able to decide on safety matters without politicians interfering?

I can refer you to a general answer on disadvantages of nuclear power. If you ask 'What are the disadvantages of nuclear fission power' you will get this answer.

The $500 million San Lorenzo CCGT facility is now generating 500MW electrical power. It is located in Batangas City, along the Batangas Bay, around 100km from the Philippine capital Manila. The plant is adjacent to the Santa Rita Project. This strategic location allows it to share common facilities such as the tank farm and fuel jetty, thereby eliminating the need to duplicate various operational facilities. The power station uses a Siemens GUD.1S.3A model gas turbine, a steam turbine and a horizontal heat recovery boiler (HRSG) in each power generation unit. Two power generation units have a single-shaft configuration.

The project's cost is estimated to be $500 million inclusive of capital costs, working capital requirements, related pipeline financing, insurance and development costs. The finance was based on 75% debt and 25% equity structure. Cost reductions via pooling of operations, maintenance and other expenses are also achieved. The plant opened in Q4 2002.

In December 2003, the owners of the Santa Rita and San Lorenzo power stations and Meralco concluded a review of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act. The owners and Meralco have cooperatively reviewed the PPA and incorporated a number of incentives intended to encourage increased plant utilisation and subsequent efficiency gains.

The 4th Replacement Depot on Leyte Island in the Philippines was a logistical installation operated by the United States Army during World War II. It served as a hub for replacing troops and equipment for units engaged in combat operations in the Pacific theater. The depot played a crucial role in sustaining American forces during the liberation of the Philippines and the wider Pacific campaign.

La Jota Manileña

• It is a dance named after the capital city of the Philippines, Manila, where an adaptation of Castilian Jota afloatswith the clacking of bamboo castanets played by the dancers themselves. The costume and the graceful movements of theperformers noticeably inspired by Spanish Culture.

2. LOCAL DANCES found in specific locality. (e.g. Tinikling-Leyte; Subli-Batangas)

Tinikling

• Tinnikling is considered the national folkdance with a pair of dancers hopping between two bamboo poles held just abovethe ground and struck together in time to music. Originated from Leyte Province, this dance is in fact a mimic movement of tiklingbirds hopping over trees, grass stems or over bamboo traps set by farmers. Dancers perform this dance with remarkable grace andspeed jumping between bamboo poles.

Subli-Batangas

• This dance is one of the most popular dance in the Philippines and the favorite in Batangas. This dance is simplyceremonial in nature and this is performed as homage to the Holy Cross. The Holy Cross is known by the locals as the 'Mahal naPoong Santa Krus', and the Holy Cross plays an important role in the development of the dance. In fact, the Holy Cross is consideredat the center of the dance and without the Holy Cross the dance will not materialize.

Metals can be found in different provinces or regions around the world, depending on the type of metal. For example, gold can be found in regions like South Africa, Australia, and Russia, while copper is prevalent in regions such as Chile, Peru, and the United States. It's essential to consider the geological formations and mineral deposits in each specific area when looking for metal resources.
