Abstract
Abstract. Products and outputs for water quality monitoring are made available in the IM4ManilaBay MapABLE Web Portal, a web-based GIS platform that serves as a repository of processed maps for Manila Bay and linked systems. The Portal is also linked with the MASDAN mobile application that has been developed to allow the public to report different environmental issues. The web development involved the utilization of geospatial content management system, spatial database system, operating systems, programming, and style language. Services included frontend and backend development. The Web Portal serves as a repository for all outputs derived for water quality monitoring. It contains processed results, technical overview on the developed models and tools, historical data viewing and use of basic geoprocessing tools, and viewing of reported incidents from the MASDAN app. It is expected that the Web Portal will contribute significantly in the efforts of communities and environmental agencies to implement policies for sustainable development and management of Manila Bay and its watershed.
Highlights
The Philippines has an abundance of water resources with total available freshwater resource of 145,900 million cubic meter per year (MCM/year) based on 80 percent probability for surface water, and 20,000 MCM/year groundwater recharge or extraction rate (Greenpeace Southeast Asia, 2007; Rubio et al, 2008)

SUMMARY AND FUTURE WORK The MapABLE Web Portal serves as the repository of products, outputs, and tools developed by the IM4ManilaBay Project MapABLE
Summary
The Philippines has an abundance of water resources with total available freshwater resource of 145,900 million cubic meter per year (MCM/year) based on 80 percent probability for surface water, and 20,000 MCM/year groundwater recharge or extraction rate (Greenpeace Southeast Asia, 2007; Rubio et al, 2008). This ensures an adequate supply of water and high freshwater storage capacity. Several water-related incidents occurred in the Philippines This greatly impacted the quality of water including oil and chemical spills, and illegal dumping of wastes that resulted in water contamination and fish kills
