Regarding sources of water & threat of landslide:

There is a big river in Lunas which flows down to Matalom, Leyte.  We could tap some of the river into a small reservoir and also rely on the rain water and put it in a water tank.  Although it is very expensive, we could also have an alternative deep-well pump just like they do here in some of the agricultural states in the U.S. far from the lakes and rivers.

After the landslide in St. Bernard, government scientists studied all the possible landslide prone areas in Region 8.  The feasible sites of our self-sustainable community projects are too far away from the areas which the geologists declared as landslide prone.  We visited the landslide striken villages in St. Bernard, Liloan and San Francisco, Southern Leyte.  Personally, I think that even high school students who are very good in the required subjects in general science, math, physics and other scientific subjects know that upon close observations of the above-mentioned zones, they are indeed landslide prone.  

you may want to approach those land owners for this plan community,
if they want to exchange with you. so you can start the work.

may i know the name of that river from lunas going to matalom.

There is only one big river which passes under a concrete bridge few meters before the municipal hall as one drives from Maasin to Matalom.  I do not know the name of the river.  I have been looking at the Google Earth recently and know for sure that it is the one coming from Lunas.

When I first saw the site in 1996 or 97 and thought how hard my grandfather worked to own the land and its distance from his house in Acasia, I had a hunch it would be the right Christian camp or conference center and community.  My cousin had given me permission to use it while she and her family work and live in the East Coast, U.S.

Not our will but God's will and timing determine when we start building the project.
