North Splash Haven: A Proposed Waterfront Hotel and Resort in Bolinao, Pangasinan
CHAPTER 3:
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
3.1 SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

3.1.1 INDENTIFICATION/ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS
An accommodation with a facilities and amenities that will cater and
satisft the needs of the tourist.

A need of a hotel for more accommodation for the growing number of
tourist of Bolinao Pangasinan.

A need of a hotel and resort which reflects and respect the environment in
which it is situated.
3.1.2 RESTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This research aims to study the feasibility of designing a self- contained
waterfront hotel and beach resort that aims to answer the following problems:
The increase in demand of hotel accommodations due to the influx of local

and foreign tourists in Bolinao, Pangasinan.
Lack of accommodation especially during peak season.
Tourist from different countries and travellers from crowded urban areas
attracted by the relaxing and interacting landscape of resorts resulting for
many entrepreneurs in the Philippines invest for hotel and resort. But
thinking about how resorts can evolve into something that they will truly
enjoy.
The unsatisfied of feedbacks of tourist when it comes to hotel

accommodation in Bolinoa, Pangasinan.
How will the culture and tradition of the province of Pangasinan apply in
the hotel and resort through architectural approach.
What are the considerations in designing beach frontb hotel and resort?
SANTOS

3.1.3 RECOMENDATION
Philippines rich natural biodiversity and its tropical climate, are some of the
reasons why tourist from different countries travel from their country to ours. The
researchers is thinking on how to sustain the needs of the tourist while on their stay on
vacation.
Accommodation is one of the things that should be considered when travelling.
Hotels and beach resort are usually built along coastal areas as in the case of Boracay,
Palawan, Batangas, Ilocos, and Pangasinan City. The study shows that the high-density
development of hotel and beach resort are result of growing demand of for
accommodation in the tourist spot in the cities and it appears that this is the only rational
way of redevelopment that could be adopted.
North Splash Haven is three storey hotel and beach resort that accommodates
tourist who travels for leisure, relaxation, and escaping from urban congestions. An
accommodation which is close to nature with a facilities that combine Filipino/province
culture and hospitality. In architecture means, the research consider the importance and
needs of the users that will help in planning, programming system in the design and
alternative building systems, materials and building techniques that will make building
sustainable.

3.2.7 FACTORS and ISSUES RELEVANT OF THE SITE

SANTOS
54
The sie of the proposed "North Splash Haven" is located at Bolinao City land of
Pangasinan. To have further study about the site the proponets gathered researches and
interviews in accordance to it.
Power Supply (need picture)
Bolinao is served with electricity by the Pangasinan Electric Cooperative, Inc.
(PANELCO 1) whose main office is located at Brgy. Sab Jose Bani, here in Pangasinan.
Its power source are supplied by the National Power Corporation (NSPOCOR) using the
1,218-MW Coal-Fired Sual Power Station in Sual, Pangasinan. A sub-station, established
in Poblacion, manage the maintenance of the electrical system, processing of electrical
connection and payments of bills.
Water Supply (need picture)
Potable water is now supplied to the aforesaid 5 Barangays with 1,614 services
connections. The main water source of the project is the Guiguiwanen Spring located at
Brgy. Luciente I. For residential and intuitional type of consumer, the waterworks charge
the minimum rate of P200, 00 for the first 10 cubic meters being consumed.
Although Bolinao is abundant in water supply, the upland areas are completely
reliant on the deep wells of the National Irrigation Authority and the existing spring in
Barangay Patar. Majority of the population rely on self-constructed deep well/jetmatic
pumps for water demand. However, the local government is bent to regulate massive
deep well construction for safety and environment-relate issues.
The residents of Bolinao have other supply of water for washing and agricultural
purposes. They utilized the river and creek proximate to their areas and have small dams
and water impoundings or ponds where they conserve water during rainy days.
On 2010, Barangay Patar has 87 deep wells/shallow well which serve 79.73% fo
house hold population of the barangay 1 improved spring which serve 1.66% house hold
population.
SANTOS
55
Transportation (need picture)

The national highway traverse the Municipality of Bolinao with two (2) public
utility big buses -Five Star and Victory Liner playing this route 24 hours a day from
Metro Manila via Camiling, Tarlac to Alaminos City, and vice versa; the latter also
services the Bolinao-Dagupan-Baguio route. On the other hand, mini buses, like the
Bolinao Express and Mhel-Bhen Bus Transport, public utility jeepneys and vans ply the
Bolinao-Alaminos City-Dagupan route. For short trips within sitio or barangays tricycle
are abundant and commonly used. In transporting passenger and goods from the
Mainland to Santiago Island, motorized boats, non-motorized bancas and a landing barge
constantly navigate this route.
Travelling time to Bolinao:
To Manila: 6 hours; Clark: 5 hours; Dagupan: 2 hours; Lingayen: 1.5 hours; Alaminos: 40
mins; Baguio: 4 hours; La Union: 3 hours.

Topography
Terrain/Relief/Water Surfaces
The municipality is characterized and punctuated by rocky and hilly terrain
ranging up to 150 meters high. Almost fifty (50%) of the terrain is upland flat while the
rest is upland and undulating which makes access by foot quite difficult.
The major drainage system of the area is the northwest flowing Balingasay River
which empties directly to the West Philippine Sea. The Balingasay River begins at
Quibuar Spring cascading to Bolinao Falls in Samang Norte. Seven (7) kilometers in
length, it traverses five (5) barangays namely Balingasay, Estanza, Cabuyao, Luna, and
Tupa. The river is 5-10 meters wide and 0.1-3 meters deep, becoming wider and deeper
as it goes downstream to the navigable portion. Freshwater comes from Todo Spring,
Pansor Spring, Banaoang Spring and Nagsangaan-Balenpanis Spring with saline influxes
from the sea entering Balingasay, making it brackish.
Elevation
In the Municipality of Bolinao, the elevation ranges from 6 meters to 157 meters.
About 70.88 percent of the total land area of the municipality has elevations that are less
than 100 meters high. This is then followed by the 100-300 meter elevations comprising
a total of 29.12 percent of the total area. No elevations higher than 300 meters are
evident in the Municipality of Bolinao.
The elevated flat lands are planted with palay during rainy season and various
varieties of root crops and vegetables during dry season and some portions are planted
with coconut. On relatively high relief areas, ipil-ipil trees, mahogany, acacia, madre
cacao, sub-tropical bushes abound as well as cogon grasses.

Mineral Resources
Bolinao is one of the five municipalities in Pangasinna which has rich deposit of
limestones - one of the major raw minerals is the manufacture of cement.
Aquamarine Resources
Bolinao, being located at the western portion of Lingayen Gulf and bounded by
the West Philippine Sea and Kakiputan Channel, has rich aquamarine resources where
most of the populace depend its livelihood. With its rich coral reefs, Bolinao provides
habitations for fish and other marine animals. Big volumes of fish caught from its coastal
waters supply the eastern municipalities of Pangasinan, including the nearby provinces
and Metro Manila.
Added to these are the presence of white sand beaches, natural rock formations,
caves, cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and rivers. Fish ponds and sea water farms are also
maintained in different parts of the coastal barangays which generate income to the
municipality.
History of Baolinao, Pangasinan
Bolinao has quite a mysterious past with neither an exact foundation date nor
record on when it was created. According to past historical accounts, Bolinao most likely
was founded in 1575 by virtue of a Royal Decree from Spain. Headed by a Spanish
Captain Pedro Lombi, a little over a hundred families created a settlement in an area
called Binabalian on the North of Santiago Island. However, in 1596, due to the threat of
Moro pirates, the settler were forced to transfer the entire town to the mainland, the
current location of Bolinao.
SANTOS
60
On September 19, 1988, The Municipal Council of Bolinao through Resolution

no 104 adopted the foundation date of July 25, 1575 in honor of the Patron Saint of the
town, St James the Great. The Philippine Commission through Public Act 1004 dated on
November 30, 1903 made Bolinao and official Province of Pangasinan Philippines. It

Barangays of Bolinao. As of the last census in 2010, Patar had a population of 1,335
residents approximately 1.8% of the total population of Bolinao which is 74,545 people.
Three Version of the Bolinao name

Pamulinawen Tree The boli-bolinao tree was of the Molave family and it is said
that it was under these trees that the settlers met and planned town activities more
specifically plans to thwart the Moro raids that were getting increasingly more common
at the early days of the town
Monamon Fish The fish commonly called Bolinao by Filipinos is abundant in
the province and a common source of livelihood and thus the town was reffered to by
outsiders as Boliano.
Bolido & Anao Perhaps the most romantic and most told of the name origins is
a story of the town Chieftains son Bolido and beautiful Anao or Malinaw to whom he
fell in love with. Upon their marriage, the combination of their names became the name
of the town.
Early Civilization and Settlements

Dubbed as Pangasinan's "Gatewaye to the World", Bolinao is know to many to be
a harbor, a marine sanctuary, and an Eden north of Manila. The municipality is rich in
archaeological sites evident in the excavation done five decades age, due to the missing
link of the 11th and 12th centuries Bolinao has fuenished. Discoveries dug near the

The Golden Sands of Patar Beach

Patar beach offers one of the very best beach experiences in the Philippines.
What makes Patar Beach extra special is that it is accessible by road from Metro Manila
and the Luzon Island making it a great destination for those who love adventure and road
trips.
Its crystal clear waters are complimented by fine golden sand that stretches
several kilometers from Patar Bolinao facing the beautiful West Philippine Sea. The
sands and rock formations have been formed through the unique current that flows
through the West Philippine Sea facing the unique Island Features of Patar. Many call it
Patar White Sand Beach but is somewhat inaccurate because the golden sands are very
unique from the typical white/beige beaches. We prefer to call it Patar Golden Beach.
The beach sand is soft on the feet and perfect for lounging around the whole day.
Rock Formations at Patar

A combination of the tide and the limestone rocks has blessed Patar with truly
picturesque rock formations. There are some resorts that are dedicated to viewing these
SANTOS
62
spectacular rock formations such as Solomons Paradise, Treasures of Bolinao, and Rock
Formations View.
For a truly amazing experience, rent a boat and ask the boatman to take you to the
rock formations at the end of Patar Cove towards the town of Bani. This is a virtually
untouched area with cliffs and caves that are truly breathtaking.
The Shifting Sands of Patar Beach

One thing to note about Patar is its ever changing phases throughout the year.
This is why rock formations and sandy beaches are more pronounced during different
parts of the year.
During the Habagat Winds (southwest monsoon) around May to October,. This
starts cooling the weather and makes the seas flatter (except if there is a storm) ideal for
swimming as well as beautiful cloud formations and rains. This phenomenon also starts
shifting the sands to the eastern side of the beach making the rock formations on the west
side more pronounced.
The Amihan Winds (Northeast Monsoon) draws cold air from Siberia, China, and
Japan into the province. This usually occurs within the months of October to June. This
is when one can witness the beautiful white tip waves on the ocean and is very
picturesque! It also starts shifting the sands to the west side of the beach.
Take note that the hottest and driest months in Patar are from March May,
Coldest is November to February and wettest is from July-September.
Sunset at Patar
The best things in life are free! Late afternoons are the best in Patar. By this
time, our best suggestion is to find a relaxing by a spot by the beach and wait for the
famous sunset on Patar Beach. You will be treated to a sunset experience that very few
places in the world can offer. The beautiful sunset highlights the beautiful ocean, sand,
and landscape of the area as it lights up in glorious combinations of colors.

weaving, Wood craft and growing and a growing tourism sector. Specialty food in the
patart is Bangus, Bagooon, Bamboo Rice, Cake, and Pads (Clear Bagoong Isda) Dried
Fish Dishes, Shrimp, Crabs, Mussels and other sea food.
Language
The people of Patar Bolinao speak Tagalog, Ilocano and a native Language called
Bolinao. As with the rest of the Philippines, English is a language spoken and understood
by most locals. As with many parts of the Philippines, even if fluency in spoken English
not practiced, it is generally understood and is the main language for education.
Generally, it should be very easy to get around using Tagalog, Ilocano, or English as your
primary language.
Man Made Structure

St. James the Great parish Church
The beautiful Bolinao Church is formally called St james thew Great parish is
located in the center of Bolinao Town in Concordia Poblacion Road. It is one of the
oldest churches in the country. It was built by the Agustinian Friars in 1609. Originally
the Church tower, which was 75 Feet Tall and was the tallest in the entire province of
SANTOS
64
Pangasinan. However, in 1788, the tower was

destroyed by and earthquake. In 1819, the church
convent accidentally burned down. In recent times,
typhoon Emong heavily damaged the church
structure and it is still continuously being
reconstructed until today. It is actively used today
holding Sunday as well as daily masses.
St James the Great Parish or Bolinao Church is challenging Philippine historians
by claiming that the first mass in the Philippines was held by the parish instead of
Limasawa, believed to be the birth of Catholicism in the country. Whether true or not,
this establishes the parish firmly as one of the pillars of Catholicism in the Philippines
As with other ancient Churches in the Philippines, the Bolinao Church is made of
stone reinforced with hardwood making it a site to behold. It has high ceilings and
marble floors with historical memorabilia scattered around the church.
The Bolinao Church is certainly worth a visit if you like seeing old churches or if
you simply want to hear mass when visiting Patar.
The town itself is a great place to shop around for fresh fish and local products. Try
visiting the Bolinao Wet Market when you take a trip down there. The Church and Town
Centre is around 20 minutes from Patar Beach and can be reached easily by private car or
public transportation.
Cape Bolinao Lighthouse
SANTOS
65
The Cape Bolinao lighthouse towers

107 meters with a commanding view of
Patar Beach, and West Philippine Sea
leading to the South China Sea as well as
the nearby municipalities. It has a visibly
of 32 kilometres at midsea towards the
lighthouse in poro point. It is situated on a
large rock mountain called Punta Piedra Point, the highest spot in Cape Bolinao. The
lighthouse, is the second tallest of five lighthouses in the Philippines.
The Americans built the structure in 1903 to aid and guide Philippine sea vessels
when navigating through the shores of Pagaisinan en route to Hong Kong, Japan, and the
United States. With the advent of GPS, the Cape Bolinao lighthouse has become a relic
but still remains one of the tourists destinations when visiting Patar Beach.
Currently tourists are not allowed to enter and climb the 134 step tower
and illumination room. Its owner the Philippine National Coast Guard has scheduled the
lighthouse for renovation. The municipality of Bolinao takes active part in preserving the
Cape Bolinao Lighthouse as a tourist attraction in the area.
The Cape Bolinao Lighthouse is well worth the visit especially in the early
morning or later in the afternoon when the sun is not at its hottest. It gives a panoramic
view of the area. Whether you are looking for a view of mountains, the ocean, the beach,
or simply admiring nature, unforgettable photo opportunities abound.
Bolinao Marine Laboratory and Univeristy of the Philippines Marine Science
Institute
The Bolinao Marine Laboratory was founded in 1983 and is funded by the
Philippine Government and a grant from the United Nations Development Programme.
SANTOS
66
Here you will find see a clam farm dedicated to the propagation of the species, a
hatchery used for culutre of marine organisms as well as marine research facilities and
laboratories.
Preserving the Giant Clams
The Molinao Marine Laboratory also supports diving facilities with diving tanks,
air fills, rinsing and drying areas as well as lockers. They also offer boats to bring you to
the scuba dive spots where you can see some of the marine conservation activates such as
the giant clam nurseries to protect this endangered species.
This is a great destination for eco-tourism and scuba diving! Visiting the facility
contributes greatly to the support of conserving the giant clams and other marine life in
the Philippines.
Balingasay River
A few minutes before reaching Patar, one will notice beautiful Balingasay River.
It is a very well maintained river and an important source of pride for the residents of
Bolinao. In fact, the Bolinao local government was given the Philippine Wetlands
Conservation Award for protecting and conserving the mangrove forests around the river.
The river was also adjudged as one of the cleanest in the Philippines.
There are some activaties in and around the river such as boat rides and if you are
lucky, you will see some floating restaurants offering food while floating around on the
river.
Bolinao Falls
Hidden 30 minutes away from idyllic Patar Beach are beautiful twin waterfalls.
For lack of a nickname, the locals have come to call it Boinao Falls One and Bolinao
Falls two. Located just 10 minutes apart from each other both falls are ideal for
swimming and communing with nature. Both falls are equally beautiful especially when
not crowded with tourists. The cool crystal waters are what attract tourists to this palace.
SANTOS
67
Jump in the falls and you will have a very refreshing treat. The waters are shallow in the
perimeter but can quickly become deep in the middle portion so be careful if you are not
a good swimmer. Bolinao falls one at around 20 feet is taller than Bolinao falls 2 which
is bit wider and more spread out. Both are perfect for swimming, hanging out and is
quite a treat for those who love photography.
From Patar Beach, Bolinao Falls is best visited when planned or if you have a
guide as the roads are not paved and the way can be confusing for non-locals. Usually,
people come into Boliano town or the Patar Beach area to get a tricycle guide that will
take them to the falls. It is 20 minutes from the town proper through rough roads. From
the parking area, there is a five minute walk down some stairs to reach the falls. From
the tricycle ride in the heat to the dusty road, taking a dip in one of the two falls becomes
extra rewarding.

The CPD as a framework for coastal resources management (need picture)
To maximize the use of Bolinao's coastal resources, and to limit the possible
undesirable rnvironment effects of this use, the coast of Bolinao was divided into four
zones, namely Zone I, the ECO-TOURISM ZONE; Zone II, the Multiple-Use Zone;
Zone III, the Fishery Management Zone; snd Zone IV, the Trade and Navigation Zone.
Zone I encomposses the barangays of Patar, Ilog Malino, Estanza, Tupa
Balingasay, and Arnedo. Most of the possible tourist destination, such as white sand
beaches, caves, and resort are found in this barangays. It was for this reason that tis area
was allocated for eco-tourism use Marine Science Institute, College of scince (University

3.3 BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS
3.3.1 ACTIVITY FLOW
3.4 VIABILITY STUDIES
3.4.1 TECHINICAL VIABILITY & ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT:
LED Lighting
LED lights are a type of energy efficient lighting. LED stands for light emitting
diode, which is a device that converts electricity to light. Each diode in LED is only of
an inch in diameter and only needs 1/10 of an watt of energy to produced light LEDs are
traditionally grouped together to provide higher amounts of lights. LEDs decrease in
output as they age; they typically will not burn out suddenly. On average, an LED gives
off around 20 lumens per watt. Incandescent bulbs given off about 15 lumens per watt
and fluorescent light bulbs give off around 60 lumens per watt. LEDS gibe off much less
heat than incandescent bulbs and they last longer, about 50,000 hours. Unlike fluorescent
bulbs, LEDs contain no mercury. 80% of the energy consumed by an LED goes to
producing light, unlike an incandescent bulb where 80% of the energy consumed goes to
produce heat.
Retractable Roof
A retractable roof is a roof system designed to roll back the roof on tracks so that
the interior of the facility is open to the outdoors. Retractable roofs are sometimes
referred to as operable roofs or retractable skylights. The term operable skylight , while
quite similar, refers to a skylight that opens on a hinge, rather than on a track.
SANTOS
88
Retractable roofs are used in residences, restaurants and bars, swim centres, and
other facilities wishing to provide an open-air experience at the push of a button.
OpenAire designs, manufactures and installs custom retractable roof structures at
distinguished venues all over the world.
We collaborate with developers, owners, architect and engineers to bring unique
visions to life throughout each stage of the design and construction process: from design
inception to structural engineering and construction documentation, to manufacturing and
installation, to project completion, through opening day and beyond.
And it doesn't end when your project is complete: we continue to provide
technical support if and when you need it through our industry-leading warrant program.
Custom Design Retractable Roof Systems

OpenAire can custom design a retractable glass roof solution to suit any project.
Our portfolio features over 1,000 structures of all sizes and shapes, in terrains and
climates all over the world.
Providing Significant Energy and Operational Savings

OpenAire glass roof structures outperform traditional buildings every time. With
OpenAire, lifetime costs are lower, the environmental impact is less, and user health and
satisfaction are invariably higher. Significant energy and operational savings truly make
OpenAire the best solution for almost any opening roof system.
Any building can benefit from an OpenAire retractable roof system. Whether your
plan involves new construction or a retrofit, working with heritage buildings or designing
to extreme weather specifications, our experts meticulously specify each project and
make your vision a reality.
Offering a Range of Glazing Materials to Fit Your Requirements
SANTOS
89
OpenAire employs special extruded thermally broken aluminium profiles made of

structural alloy 6061 T6 for all structural members of its skylights and retractable roof
structures. To complement our all-aluminium framing system, OpenAire offers a range of
options for glazing materials best suited to your fixed or operable skylights applications
and requirements. Possible materials include:
Glass: OpenAire skylights can accommodate a range of glass thicknesses and
characteristics according to your design and application. From basic tinted glass, to high
performance and low E glass, to louvered glass, to electrically charged glass, to stained
glass, OpenAire has a glass system for any application.
Polycarbonate: Polycarbonate panels are virtually unbreakable and guaranteed to
retain clarity and resist yellowing. They are more impact resistant than acrylic and glass
materials. They also withstand temperature extremes and are ultraviolet (UV) stabilized.
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE): ETFE is a high strength, light weight
material and can transmit up to 90% of sunlight. ETFE has a non-stick surface so dust
and dirt dont settle on it easily; if they settle they can be cleaned off with a small amount
of rain or water. ETFE can be made in a single layer for small applications, or in double
or triple air filled layers.
Photovoltaic: Photovoltaic allows for the entry of natural light while providing
both thermal and sound insulation. Photovoltaic glazing also filter out harmful radiation,
while producing clean, free energy through solar power.
Benefits of OpenAire Aluminium Structures

Zero maintenance: Unlike steel framing, our maintenance-free, thermally broken
aluminium framing system withstands moist, chemical aquatic atmospheres and never
needs to be repainted.
SANTOS
90
Energy efficiency: OpenAires special extruded thermally broken aluminium

profiles reduce heat transfer through the structure and therefore reduce the required air
conditioning/heating load. Thermal breaks and vapor barriers control condensation.
Lower life cycle costs: With a maintenance-free aluminium truss structure and a
decreased dependence on artificial lighting and air conditioning, OpenAire structures cost
less to operate and maintain, offering tremendous long-term value.
Lightweight: Aluminium is much lighter in weight than steel, which reduces the
overall loads on your structure.
Aesthetic appeal: Aluminium has a better architectural appearance; it allows
architects and designers to avoid the bulky steel look. Custom aluminium extrusions
maintain their original appearance from the time of installation, throughout the structures
lifespan.
Solar Panel
Solar modules use light energy (photons) from the sun to generate electricity
through the photovoltaic effect. The majority of modules use wafer-based crystalline
silicon cells or thin-film cells based on cadmium telluride or silicon. The structural (load
carrying) member of a module can either be the top layer or the back layer. Cells must
also be protected from mechanical damage and moisture. Most solar modules are rigid,
but semi-flexible ones are available, based on thin-film cells.
Electrical connections are made in series to achieve a desired output voltage
and/or in parallel to provide a desired current capability. The conducting wires that take
the current off the modules may contain silver, copper or other non-magnetic conductive
[transition metals]. The cells must be connected electrically to one another and to the rest
of the system. Externally, popular terrestrial usage photovoltaic modules use MC3 (older)
or MC4 connectors to facilitate easy weatherproof connections to the rest of the system.
SANTOS
91
Bypass diodes may be incorporated or used externally, in case of partial module

shading, to maximize the output of module sections still illuminated.
How do solar panels (PV) cells work?

PV cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon. When
light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the
sunshine, the more electricity is produced. Groups of cells are mounted together in panels
or modules that can either be mounted on your roof or on the ground.
The power of a PV cell is measured in kilowatts peak (kWp). That's the rate at
which it generates energy at peak performance in full direct sunlight during the summer.
PV cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most PV systems are made up of panels
that fit on top of an existing roof, but you can also fit solar tiles.
Advantages of Solar. Solar energy is a resource that is not only sustainable for
energy consumption, it is indefinitely renewable (at least until the sun runs out in billions
of years). Solar power can be used to generate electricity, it is also used in relatively
simple technology to heat water (solar water heaters).
A typical solar panel produce about 200 watts of electrical based on the efficiency
and size of what's installed. For example, if you have 25 panels installed, you may have
and output of about 5 kilowatt hours (kWh).
Kinetic Facade (research pa)
Bamboo
Structural Characteristics of Bamboo
Bamboo is unique in that it is strong in both tension and compression. While
tensile strength remains the same throughout the age of the bamboo plant, compressive
strength increases as it gets older. There is some controversy in determining proper
testing protocols, as it is important to test bamboo which is at least three years old, and
SANTOS
92
that the test should occur on a piece of bamboo with an entire internode and two intact
nodes. Some testing research has not used these criteria, and thus the results are not as
useful.
To utilize bamboo to its best capabilities, several conditions are important to
consider. One consideration is that bamboo grown on slopes is stronger than bamboo
grown in valleys, and that bamboos that grow in poor dry soils are usually more solid
than those grown in rich soils. Bamboo will shrink diametrically, so Oscar does not
recommend tied connections. Bamboo takes at least four months to dry, and should not be
kiln dried, as the moisture inside leaves mostly through the ends.
There are certain limitations of the use of bamboo in construction. The starchy
interior is attractive to insects. In addition, because bamboo has a slick waterproof
coating, it cannot be painted. However, this coating allows bamboo to be used as water
pipes.

3.4.4 DESIGN PROPOSAL

The design proposal is three storey structure projected in Patar, Bolinao
Pangasinan. A structure that will cater and sustain the need of tourist when it comes to
accommodation. Also, the researchers consider the importance of the building system,
materials and building techniques that will make building sustainable and to reduce
negative impacts on the environment.
The proposed project is a recreational area for those who seek privacy and
relaxation. It is a combination of lodging facilities, a restaurant and food stalls which
serve Filipino cuisse and different sea food dishes which can enjoy inside or through
outdoor dining on a beautifully manicured garden to feel the breeze of the sea and the
peaceful and relaxing ambiance of the city. For those who want to unwind, tourist can
SANTOS
131
enjoy the cafeteria and bar which are also adjacent to the dinning. Aside from lodging and
dining facilities, tourist can also enjoy and relax different indoor facilities like Spa
Massage treatment, Gym, or play billiards, darts, chess, and other sports. Function hall is
also available for different occasion.
The viewing deck, flexible layout of the units or even just in the foreshore, allows
the tourist to witness the sunset and overlook the picturesque view of West Philippine Sea
and the Bolinao City.

Next important to the activities of the visitors are the service activities. These are some of
the services activities that take place in a hotel.
Front Desk
The front desk is a hotels lifeline. From front desk Staff members greet potential
guest on the phone and arriving guest upon check-in. The front desk needs to be
staffed 24 hours a day. In addition to taking reservation and performing check ins and
outs, a front desk clerk addresses guest issues, provides information and serves as a
communication hub for other departments.
Facilities Management
SANTOS
133
Hotels have many working parts that require on-going maintenance and repair.
Depending on the size of the building, one or more full-time maintenance mechanics
should be on staff. Expertise in plumbing, electrical and other mechanical issues is
needed. The maintenance staff may also be responsible for hotel grounds including
landscaping, cleaning parking lots, and operation of outdoor pools and spas.
Marketing
While the front desk may book reservations, marketing the property is necessary to
drive business. A website is a necessity and should offer an on-line booking option.
Hospitality trade shows allow properties to display their services such as a wedding,
conferences family vacation packages and any other specialty
Housekeeping
The housekeeping department is an integral parts of hotel operations. Cleanliness of
both guest rooms and common areas is imperative if a hotel is to provide a pleasant
experience. Common areas in a hotel must also be cleaned on a daily basis. Hallways
should be vacuumed and public bathrooms cleaned and re-stocks. Workout rooms,
pool areas, meeting g rooms and other areas should all be attended to as needed.
Food and Beverage
A kitchen manager or chef creates menus and oversees the ordering, preparation and
delivery of foods. Depending on the extent of the restaurant operation, other staff may
include sous chefs, prep cooks and dishwashers. A restaurant manager is responsible
to hire, train and schedule appropriate wait staff. If the hotel also offer wedding and
conference services, banquet sales and operation managers handle the bonding and
manage the flow of the event.
