INTRODUCTION The 1st Quarter CY 2010 RPMES/RME Report presents the implementation status of fifteen (15) major regional development programs and projects funded by the National Government (GOP) Funds and Official Development Assistance (ODA). These include agrarian reform support projects, bridge projects, road rehabilitation, coastal resources management, airport development, port development, hospital upgrading, irrigation projects, farm-to-market roads, small water impounding projects, school building projects, livelihood projects and ICT development. Many of the projects funded by the NG are those that are in support of the Super Region Program, the 2007 SONA Commitments, livelihood and employment programs and other major infrastructure projects in the region. The report highlights one (1) project that is completed, one (1) which is ahead of schedule, four (4) projects that are behind schedule, while the rest of the projects are on track. This Report also captures the specific project profiles with information on the detailed implementation status of each project. (See pages 16 to 40) This 1st Quarter CY 2009 RPMES Report likewise features the status of projects under the 2010 Road Rehabilitation Program as well as the extent of implementation of the El Niño Mitigation Plan in Region 02. II. IMPLEMENTATION STATUS A. Completed Project The 1st quarter of 2010 saw the completion of the Bagabag Airport Development Project. This Project entailed the construction of a 3 - story flight service station building, runway concreting, paving of taxiway, apron, vehicle parking area, drainage system and access road and installation of meteorological instruments. The completion of the Bagabag Airport Development Project will improve accessibility by air not only to the Province of Nueva Vizcaya but also to the southern municipalities of Isabela, Quirino, Ifugao and Mt. Province. The flying commuters from these provinces will enjoy a significant reduction in their travel time to and from Manila. It will boost the Region 02 1st Quarter 2010 RPMES/RME Report Page 1 tourism industry and consequently create more jobs and generate income for the local populace. B. Project Ahead of Schedule For the 1st quarter of 2010, one (1) project experienced a relatively smooth implementation and this is the Lallo International Airport Development Project. This Project entails the development of a fully operational international airport that is able to accommodate larger aircrafts and international flights. It is also aimed at providing not only a passenger airport but a cargo airport as well. CEZA has entered into a joint agreement with Cagayan Land Property Development Corporation, the original and only proponent that showed interest, regarding the construction, development, operation and maintenance of the Lallo International Airport. As of the 1st quarter of 2010, the batch and crushing plant has already been installed and operational. Land clearing operations have begun in the airport’s new site in the municipality of Lallo. The adequate supply of construction materials and good weather condition contributed to the smooth implementation of the project. The project’s overall physical accomplishment is recorded at 56.53%, ahead of schedule by 13.86%. The construction of the runway and terminal building, as well as the other ancillary support structures are expected to be completed in November this year. Full operation of the Lallo International Airport will improve accessibility by air to the Cagayan Socio-economic Zone and Free Port, thus serving as an alternate gateway for investors, tourists and other visitors coming from countries around the world.

Project Ahead of Schedule PROJECT PROJECT PHYSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENT SLIPPAGE COST TARGET ACTUAL Lallo International PhP1.8 B 42.67% 56.53% 13.86% Airport (Government Development Equity & Private Project Entity C. Projects Behind Schedule For the period under review, there are four (4) projects which experienced delays in project implementation. These include the DAR-ADB-Agrarian Reform Communities Project (ARCP), Government Hospital Upgrading/Rehabilitation Project, CY 2009 School Building Project and the Addalam River Irrigation Project. Region 02 1st Quarter 2010 RPMES/RME Report Page 2 A major project that has been experiencing delays in implementation is the locally-funded Addalam River Irrigation Project (ARIP). This project entails the construction of a 9.2m high x 190m long ogee-shaped overflow dam, 99.6 kms. long irrigation canals, canal structures, road network, project and terminal facilities with an area of 5,830 has. to be generated in the municipalities of Aglipay & Saguday in Quirino province and Jones & Echague in Isabela. A total of 4,500 farmers will be benefited by the project. The ARIP commenced in March 1997 and is supposed to be completed after a period of 5 years. Due to insufficient fund releases, price escalation and inclusion of additional works and facilities, the project’s updated cost is now PhP1.3 Billion, from only PhP993.994 Million. Its new target date of completion is December 31, 2009. As of the 1st quarter of this year, the project has an overall physical accomplishment of 88.31%, behind schedule by 2.32%. The major accomplishments include the construction of the diversion dam and intake barrel, construction of access road to the dam site and project site, restoration of damaged national roads, construction of main canal and lateral canal, canal structures, project and terminal facilities and acquisition of Right of Way (ROW) for the project. The area generated given the completed facilities is 3,678 has. Out of the generated area, a total of 2,060 has. is operated or served by irrigation water. The ARIP is considered as one of the major agri-support projects to spur the development of agriculture in the region. Its completion is therefore critical in the attainment of the region’s role as food basket of the country. Given the number of years that the project has been delayed, the NIA Central Office should continue to facilitate the sufficient release of funds for the completion of this major regional development project. (See page 39 for project details) Other regional projects that experienced delays in implementation during the quarter include the DAR-ADB-Agrarian Reform Communities Project, Government Hospital Upgrading/ Rehabilitation Project and the 2009 School Building Program.

Of this total, thirteen (13) have already been completed and two (2) are still ongoing. (See page 28 for project details) 2. 2007 SONA 1.2 Farm to Market Roads Of the 174.73 kilometers of farm-to-market roads that have been targeted for construction or rehabilitation, about 94.69 kilometers have already been accomplished which translates to a 54% aggregate physical accomplishment. These FTMRs are located in the four (4) mainland provinces of Region 02 and has an aggregate project cost of PhP170 Million. (See page 30 for details) 3. Livelihood and Employment Projects 3.1 Self-Employment Assistance - Kaunlaran (SEA-K) Program The Self Employment Assistance Kaunlaran (SEA-K) Program of the DSWD is a livelihood and employment assistance program designed to provide technical and financial assistance to qualified heads of low-income families who associated or grouped themselves to venture in micro-enterprises. The Program has benefited the 5 provinces of the region. For CY 2010, a total of 6 SEA-Kaunlaran Projects were organized at the end of the 1st quarter, benefiting about 100 families who availed of a total capital seed fund amounting to PhP0.5 M. These associations are now engaged in livelihood/income generating projects such as vending/trading/retail of food commodities and handicrafts, among others. (See page 33 for details) 3.2 Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) The 4Ps is a five-year (2008-2013) anti-poverty program of the DSWD that provides money to extremely poor households to enable them to meet their needs on health, nutrition and education. The Program started in the region in July 2008. As of the 1st quarter of 2010, a total of 5,622 poor families were reached out to, broken down as follows: Palanan (1,323); Divilacan (406); and San Mariano (3,893).

All regions exhibited positive performance in 2017, led by CAR, Davao Region, Western Visayas, SOCCSKSARGEN, ARMM, Cagayan Valley, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Caraga. Growth in the regions has been broad‐based and benefited largely from the remarkable improvement in the agriculture sector. Favorable weather conditions and sufficient water supply supported strong yields of major crops. Palay and corn production grew by 16.2 percent and 9.6 percent in 2017, from previous year’s contraction of 4.5 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively. Swine and fish production grew, albeit, at a slower pace while chicken production rose amid high demand for poultry products in Eastern and Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula and Caraga regions. However, cattle production contracted in 2017 due to typhoon damage, incidence of animal deaths, less stocks available, and unfavorable market prices, among others.

Acknowledgements Conducting research in a complete strange country and culture is not without concerns. Without the warm help and support of various individuals, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy this process as much as I did now. As such, I would like to start with some words of gratitude. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Bernard Mazijn, for his constructive advice and generous feedback throughout the course of my dissertation activities. Dr. Mina Gabor, who functioned as my local supervisor in the Philippines, was another valuable actor in the process of this dissertation. Her widespread knowledge and experiences had an extensive impact on this report. Moreover, I would like to express my gratitude towards her acquaintances – Eric, Miguel, Mani, Jhen and Rodge – for the warm contact. Furthermore, I would like to thank the inhabitants and homestay members of Kiangan. Their unconditional cooperation, various discussions and interviews were very important to conduct this research successfully. I especially like to express my gratitude to the homestay families that hosted me during my field research. They showed me the boundless Filipino hospitality and made me experience the genuine Ifugao culture.

EXCHANGE RATE May 2010 1 PhP = 1.97 Japan Yen 1 US$ = 46.21 Philippine Peso 1 US$ = 90.85 Japan Yen Central Bank of the Philippines PREFACE The Government of Japan decided to conduct the “Preparatory Survey for Public‐Private Partnership (PPP) Infrastructure Development Projects in the Republic of the Philippines” and entrusted the Study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA selected and dispatched a Study Team headed by Mr. Mitsuo Kiuchi of CTI Engineering International Co., Ltd. from February 2010 to November 2010. The Study Team held discussions with the officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and other officials of the Philippine Government and conducted field surveys, data gathering and analysis, based on which the Study Team identified bottlenecks in the PPP process and candidate PPP projects. The Study Team recommended possible priority PPP projects for ODA funding, roadmap for promotion of PPP projects and technical support program. The Study Team also held trainings, workshops and stakeholders meetings to solicit opinions from different stakeholders. Upon returning to Japan, the Study Team prepared this final report which summarized the results of the Study. I hope that this report will contribute to the development and promotion of PPP projects and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two countries.
