Abstract: The daily maximum multi-annual series including the rainfall frequency analysis, are one of the inputs for the design process for stormwater management, that entails numerous procedures: (a) rainfall data gathering from Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), (b) information gathering, and (c) checking all received datasets for missing or different data. To address these setbacks, 6 rain gauge stations located in Region VIII, Visayas, Philippines were used to first determine whether or not the Gumbel Extreme Value (GEV) was the better suitable method to use in producing Rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency (RIDF) than Log-Pearson Type III (LP3) by performing Chi-square test; secondly, to select the better RIDF values; and lastly, the isohyetal maps should be developed for return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years. GEV was a better fit for the x2 values (27.96, 54.59, 52.82, 87.96, 11.78, 7.66) obtained through chi-square test were close to or smaller than the critical value of 30.144. The RIDFs produced in GEV were used in plotting isohyetal maps. In all return periods, Borongan generated the highest rainfall intensity value.
