Physical Dimension
Bicol Region
Is located in the southernmost tip of Luzon Island, the largest island in the Philippine archipelago.
The total land area of the region is 18,054.3 km2 (6,970.8 sq mi) or 5.9% of the total land area of the country. Around 69.3% of the total land area is alienable and disposable while the remaining 30.7% is public forest areas.
The region is composed of six provinces, namely, Albay,
Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur,Sorsogon and the island-provinces of Catanduanes and Masbate. It has one independent component city, Naga City, and six component cities - Iriga, Legazpi, Tabacco City, Ligao,Masbate City, Sorsogon City, and Tabaco. Masbate City and Sorsogon City are cities within their namesake provinces.
Geology Bicol Region is volcanic in origin and part of the
Pacific Ring of Fire. Known as the Bicol Volcanic Arc or Chain, the volcanoes are the results of the Philippine Sea Plate subductingunder the Philippine Mobile Belt, along the Philippine Trench. Volcanism is evident by the number of hot springs, crater lakes, and volcanoes that dot the region starting from Mount Labo in Camarines Norte to the Gate Mountains in Matnog, Sorsogon.Mayon Volcano is the most prominent of the volcanoes in the region, famous for its almost perfect conical shape and for being the most active in the Philippines. Its eruptions have repeatedly inflicted disasters on the region, but during lulls in activity, it is a particularly beautiful mountain. The southernmost tip of the peninsula is dominated by Bulusan Volcano, the other active volcano in the region. Tiwi in Albay and the Bacon-Manito area between Sorsogon and Albay are the sites of two major geothermal fields that contribute substantially to the Luzon Power Grid

CATANDUANES
CATANDUANES PROVINCE
"Isla de Cobos" was Catanduanes' first adopted name. It was earned as such during the early part of 1573 when Spanish conquistadores came upon several tribes living in the thatched huts
called cobos.
Catanduanes, is a hispanized term derived from the word tandu, a native beetle and the samdong tree, which were both found in abundance throughout the island. Common
reference to "katanduan" or "kasamdongan", meaning a place where the tandu or the samdong tree thrives in abundance, led to the coining of the word Catanduanes.
Its capital is Virac and the province lies to the east of Camarines Sur across Maqueda Channel.

Safety and Security• DAET, Camarines Norte, March 30 (PIA) -- Crime volume in the Bicol region has
decreased by 30.6 percent for the period January to February 2012 with the total of 1,657 crime incidents as compared to 2,385 for the same period last year as reported by the Philippine National Police (PNP) Region V during the Regional Peace and Order Council Meeting (RPOC) held yesterday.
PNP Regional Director PCSupt. Jose Arne M. De los Santos said that the decrease in crime volume, particularly index crimes, is indicative of the successful collaboration of the PNP in all other stakeholders in the region especially in crime prevention and suppression efforts.
Of the 1,657 crime volume, 972 cases or 58.66 percent were index crimes while 685 or 41.44 percent were non-index crimes. Index crimes prevalent was physical injury followed by theft, robbery, murder, rape, homicide, carnapping, and cattle rustling.
The average monthly crime rate recorded was 15.76 percent or a decrease of 30 percent as compared to 22.54 percent for the same period last year.
The overall crime solution efficiency for the period covered rose to 25.47 percent, a significant increase of 4.09 or 19.13 percent as compared to the 21.38 percent rating obtained during the same period last year.
He said that improved crime solution efficiency is the bright spot in the implementation of the Police Integrated Patrol System (PIPS) and expected that the trend will continue this year. (MAL/RBM-PIA 5, Camarines Norte).
• LEGAZPI CITY (7 December) — ALBAY PROVINCE registered the highest crime rate statistics among Bikol provinces in the last quarterof this year with reportedly high incidences of crimes against persons and property, and increased number of rape cases reported in November this year.
Safety and Security• This is according to PNP regional office spokesman Police Chief Insp. Jun Samson
who admitted nonetheless that actual comparative statistics among the Bikol provinces have yet to be publicly presented; he added that actual assessment of statistics will be revealed in a PNP RECOM-5 report at the end of this year.
• Samson also said that Bicol PNP Chief Supt. Cecilio Calleja Jr. noted recently the mounting number of crime cases involving minor offenders.
• Cases involving minors were reported in Camarines Sur towns, mostly involved in theft and robbery cases, and a robbery-holdup gang recently apprehended in Sorsogon City involving minors from 15 to 17 years of age.
• Samson said that Calleja has ordered the PNP Regional Investigation and Detective Management Division (R7) and the PNP regional Legal Service to look into the matter of minor offenders being handed to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and later returned to the custody of parents.
• Recent crime incidents showed that criminal elements are using minors in many theft and robbery cases in Bikol.
• Under RA 9344, “The Juvenile Justice Welfare Act of 2006,” teenage offenders below 15 up to 18 years of age are merely handed to the custody of DSWD until they reach the proper age when they could be charged legally.
• Samson said that in many cases, minor offenders who were handed back to the custody of their parents by the DSWD later return to the streets and often get involved in another crime.
• The police spokesman also bared that Calleja had lauded the efforts of the Police Intel-Division and the Camarines Sur PPO for having neutralized in November this year, the Nazaret-Lamadrid robbery-holdup gang.
• Reportedly, notorious armed-robber Roberto San Jose Nazaret, a former NPA rebel, and Reymund Posadas Lamadrid, who both died in a shoot-out with the police were responsible for the killing of a barangay captain, a salesman in Libmanan town, a grocery owner and his son, and a Japanese national in San Fernando, Camarines Sur.
• According to the Camarines Sur PPO, four more Nazaret gang-members are at large and are being hunted by a police intel-tracking team in the region. (SONNY SALES)
