Dear Arianne Ravelo,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated May 12, 2021 10:09:43 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Geotechnical Report of Minuyan, Norzagaray, Bulacan.

Response to Request

To Ms. Ariane re your (FOI) Request for Geotechnical Report of Minuyan, Norzagaray, Bulacan.

We regret to inform you that this Office do not have a Geotechnical Report of Minuyan, Norzagaray, Bulacan. What we have are geologic maps; and geohazard maps in the Scale of 1:10,000 which you can access through the MGB website or we can provide you the jpeg file through e-mail. Please provide your email address or forward your request to the Geosciences Division, this Office at the following email ad: mgbr3@yahoo.com 

Instead of a soil map, the geologic maps include information on the rock formations and lithologic characteristics of the underlying materials in the area. These information are also available in the MGB Published Geology of the Philippines, 2010 and Lexicon of Geologic Formation by Mr. Rolando Pena.

You may find the soil types at the Department of Agriculture. Geotechnical Reports/Studies are site specific for project sites that are required geotechnical investigation reports such as buildings that are more than 3-storeys high.
