We present the experience of a local government unit (province of Albay) in mainstreaming climate change adaptation in the Philippines. The province of Albay shows the key role of local governments in promoting climate change adaptation. Provinces which experience frequent and severe climate hazards ...
However, only a few have exploited the same study in the local government unit (LGU) setting. This study attempts to establish the relationship between the quality of governance and the state of local development of the Top 9 Performing LGUs in the Philippines (La Union, Albay, Cavite, ...

At each measurement point, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was then defined as the local fractional increase in length per unit rise in temperature. To characterise the effects of ageing on the material, several complementary analyses were carried out: surface crack observation, weight ...
