THE SITE

THE NORZAGARAY IS BORDERED BY:

SOUTH: CITY OF SAN JOSE DEL MONTE,
BULACAN AND RODRIGUEZ, RIZAL
EAST: GENERAL NAKAR, QUEZON
WEST: SANTA MARIA
N-WEST: ANGAT, BULACAN
NORTH: DONA REMEDIOS TRINIDAD,
BULACAN
 The ridge around will serve as barriers for strong winds and
typhoons for the structure. Bulacan city has more significant
rainfall for most of the year which dry season is shorter than the
wet season. Results to a cold climate for the site.
Ideal part of the site for development
The ideal part for the construction of a research institute is at the
most leveled part of the lot. This also cut the cost for land
development.
NATURAL FACTORS OF THE SITE
GEOLOGICAL BASE
Town of Norzagaray is bordered in City if San Jose
del Monte, Bulacan and Rodriguez, Rizal, to the south;
by General Nakar, Quezon to the east; Santa Maria to
the west; Angat, Bulacan is north-west; and Doña
Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan is to the north.
It is made up of 13 barangays, the town covers around
309.77 km2 land area which constitutes 11.08% of
Bulacan’s total land area. The City coming from the
north is via the Quirino Highway and the Marilao-San
Jose del Monte Road. From Metro Manila, the City may
also be accessed through Quirino Highway after
traversing Quezon City and Caloocan Cities.
NATURAL FACTORS OF THE SITE
TOPOGRAPHY
The elevation of the city will be ranging in
about 40-900 meters above sea level, relief transitions
form warm lowland to cool upland as one goes east.
This is because the city is a part of Sierra Madre
mountain range. River and plains valley flats that
characterize western and southwest of city. Some
portion around the east section is made of undulating
hills with low relief. The high relief areas moderate
slopes are mostly in northwest quadrant.
NATURAL FACTORS OF THE SITE
HYDROGRAPHY
Creeks and rivers that flow within the area are
directly connected to the to Angat river, that flows from
the Angat reservoir. The other waterways that is around
the sites are Kipungok, Sto. Cristo and Sta. Maria river
system. Draining to these rivers are various creeks and
streams, which act as catchment areas for the surface
water runoff of the City. Among these creeks are the
Bigte, Kantulot, Katinga and Salamin Creeks.
NATURAL FACTORS OF THE SITE
CLIMATE

The city is considered in a type 1 climate, This implies the dry season of
the site is usually around December to April and wet season is from May to
November. The dry season coincides with cool weather while wet season is with the
tropical storms.
The City experiences a tropical climate, which is Am in the Koppen-
Geiger climate classification. Means there is significant rainfall for most of the year
which dry season is shorter that the wet season. With an approximately average
annual temperature of 26°C, the City has mean monthly figures that range from
25.6°C in January and 29.6°C in May. The climatological factors behind such
temperature patterns produce 792 mm of annual precipitation.
Cloud cover is highest in the month of June and the lowest in January. As the
City is along the Sierra Madre mountain range, orographic precipitation makes the
skies over cloudier than towns west of the City.
ADVANTAGES
- Very low risk of flood DISADVANTAGES
- Has many water source Has a high risk in landslide -
- Isolated area Moderate risk for erosion -
- Good site location for the project Moderate risk in air pollution -
- Has slight to moderate contour edges
- Has a good average temperature

THE PHILIPPINES
TODAY, PHILIPPINES IS IN THE STATE OF THE SPIKE OF
COVID-19 WHERE-IN THE INCREASE OF COVID CASES HAVE
INCREASED QUICKLY THIS 2021. AS THE NUMBER OF CASES
INCREASING, OUR STATS ARE ALMOST NEAR TO THE CASES
OF BIG COUNTRIES.

 SAGE
A SAGE IS A MEDICINAL PLANT THAT HELPS ON RELIEVING MANY HUMAN ILNESS. A SAGE IS ALSO A PERSON
WHO IS KNOW TO BE WISE AND FULL OF WISDOM AND INTELLIGENCE. AS A SAGE, MANY PEOPLE SEEK FOR
ADVICE ABOUT LIFE AND ALSO HEALTH. IN OTHER CULTURE, SAGE ARE PORTRAYED AS A MEDICAL PERSON
ALSO. IN SOME POP CULTURE, THE NAME SAGE IS USED FOR CHARACTERS THAT HAS THE POWER TO HEAL AND
AID IN BATTLE.

PROJECT SAGE
OUR TEAM WAS TASKED TO DESIGN AN INSTITUTIONAL FACILITY WITHIN THE SITE GIVEN. WHIT THIS TASK, WE
CONCLUDED WITH AN IDEA ON WHAT TO CONSTRUCT IN THE SITE. WITH THE PANDEMIC AS THE MAJOR NEWS IN
THE WHOLE WORLD AND OUR COUNTRY HAVING A SPIKE IN THE CASES OF COVID-19, THE BEST INSTITUTIONAL
FACILITY IS A MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER. Project Sage AIMS TO CONSTRUCT A FACILITY FOCUSING ON
BIOINFORMATICS RESEARCH STUDIES. WITH THIS FACILITY, IT WOULD BENEFIT THE MEDICAL ECONOMY OF THE
COUNTRY INCREASING IN KNOWLEDGE, TECHNOLOGY, AND ECONOMY.
 BIOINFORMATICS
interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological
data, in particular when the data sets are large and complex. As an interdisciplinary field of
science, bioinformatics combines biology, computer science, information engineering,
mathematics and statistics to analyze and interpret the biological data. Bioinformatics has been
used for in silico analyses of biological queries using mathematical and statistical techniques
PROJECT SAGE OBJECTIVES
• TO BE ABLE TO RESEARCH FOR PRESENT AND
FUTURE VIRUSES AND DISEASES.

• TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP LOCAL MEDICAL

MEDICINES AND VACCINES

• TO BE ABLTE TO INCREASE THE CASE OF

MEDICAL SUCCESSION RATE BECAUSE OF
LOCAL RESEARCH AND MEDICAL PRODUCTS
IN OUR COUNTRY

• TO BE ABLE TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY AS ONE

OF THE DISTRIBUTORS OF HELATH CURE.
