The name Bicol first came to be known as the name of the biggest and longest river in the region. The river comes from the outflow of lakes and springs from the provinces of Albay, Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte and form a large stream that exits in the San Miguel Bay, off the shores of Camarines Sur. The people of the region are called Bikolanos and the language is called Bikol.

The citizens of Albay are called Albayanos. Albay is a province composed of 15 municipalities and 3 cities. The capital of the province is Legazpi City. It was named after Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, the Spanish conquistador who came to the Philippines in 1565 and started the massive colonization. The country became the colony of Spain for the next 300 years. As a result, the Albayanos became devout Catholics.

The symbol most associated with Albay is the Mayon Volcano, a near perfectly-shaped active volcano, 2,462 meters (8,077 ft.) high, which could be seen throughout its 15 municipalities and 3 cities as well as in the surrounding provinces of Sorsogon, Masbate and Catanduanes.

Albay has a total land area of 2,554.06 square kilometers (986.13 square miles).

Change (A2C2).” It aims to embed disaster risk reduction to enforce climate-proofing and disaster-proofing of development. It does so by spearheading local initiatives to address problems related to climate change. The initiative not only localizes the responses to the problems of climate change but also helps inform the public of the negative impacts of climate change on their lives and communities. ]]> 2022-03-05 15:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079226233 geoffreyallenfajardonur https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079361519 BAMBUSETUM IN LIGAO CITY

  • Albay is susceptible to a range of natural hazards such as flooding, typhoons, as well as volcanic and seismic activity.
  • In 2006, the Milenyo, Reming and Seniang typhoons devastated the city, causing hundreds of deaths and approximately PHP 8 billion in damages.
  • The province's immediate peril is Mount Mayon, an active volcano that has erupted several times since 1984.
  • Heavy rains can send mudflows of ash and debris from the volcano, known as lahar, down the hillsides and into villages in the city.
  • The province also experiences on average three to five cyclones every year, which inundate its low-lying coastal areas.

A Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), which includes the use of SimCLIM, was created. SimCLIM, a computer modelling system customized for the province, helps in predicting the effects of climate change in the area. The CLUP integrated climate and disaster risks in Albay into zoning ordinances. Furthermore, risk mapping was conducted to show the projected geographical extent of hazards and risks, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, temperature increase, and rainfall increase. ]]> 2022-03-05 21:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079450765 geoffreyallenfajardonur https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079453228 2022-03-05 21:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079453228 geoffreyallenfajardonur https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079472215 2022-03-05 22:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079472215 DEPRIVATION: Rising incidence of death and injuries due to road vehicular accidents and traffic congestion in major roads in Albay geoffreyallenfajardonur https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079475984 2022-03-05 22:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079475984 geoffreyallenfajardonur https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079476417 During the first five months of 2020 nearly 2,000 traffic accidents had occurred in major road networks, most of these involving motorcycle- riding motorists.]]> 2022-03-05 22:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079476417 geoffreyallenfajardonur https://padlet.com/geoffreyallenfajardonur/magayon/wish/2079478652 Mobility and transport, in particular, are crucial to the achievement of sustainable cities and communities.
