It includes land, forests, pasture, residential, agricultural, and other lands individually owned whether in alienable and disposable or otherwise, hunting grounds, burial grounds, worship areas, bodies of water, mineral and other natural resources, and lands which may no longer be exclusively occupied by ICCs/IPs but from which they traditionally had access to for their subsistence and traditional activities, particularly the home ranges of ICCs/IPs who are still nomadic and/or who practice shifting cultivation. (Adopted from R.A. 8371 (IPRA)

Ancestral - The ADSDPP is a long-term community-based, comprehensive plan Domain that contains the ICCs/IPs’ collective vision, mission, general Sustainable objectives, long-term goals, and priority concerns. The ADSDPP Development contains a list of development plans and projects that is used as and Protection reference in determining the fit between a proposed infrastructure Plan project and the long-term development goals and priority concerns of (ADSDPP) the affected ICC/IP. Often interchanged with the ADB-IP Development Plan (IPDP), but where ADSDPP is all encompassing, planning for IPDP is limited to the ADB investment/project/subproject

(Adopted from R.A.8371)

Compensation - Means payment in cash or in kind for land, housing, income, and other assets acquired or adversely affected by the Project. All compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost, which is the method of valuing assets to replace the loss at current market rates, plus any transaction costs such as administrative charges, taxes, registration and titling costs.

Certificate of - It is a document issued by NCIP attesting that the applicant or project Precondition proponent has complied with the requirements for securing the consent (CP) of affected ICCs/IPs I accordance to the Free, Prior and Informed Consent Guidelines of 2006

3

Community - CMP describes the current community land use, potential development Management map, investment plans (targets and activities) and includes all sub Plan (CMP) projects to be funded under INREMP

Entitlement - Range of measures comprising compensation, income restoration support, transfer assistance, income substitution and relocation support which are due to affected people, depending on the nature and severity of their losses, to restore their economic and social base.

Free and Prior - The consensus of all members of the affected IP group is to be Informed determined in accordance with their respective customary laws and Consent practices, free from any external manipulation, interference and (FPIC) coercion, and obtained after fully disclosing the intent and scope of the activity, in a language and process understandable and appropriate to the community. Broad community support may exist even if some individuals or groups object to the project

Indigenous - Refers to a group of people or homogenous societies identified by self- People ascription and ascription by other, who have continuously lived as organized community on communally bounded and defined territory, and who have, under claims of ownership since time immemorial, occupied, possessed customs, tradition and other distinctive cultural traits, or who have, through resistance to political, social and cultural inroads of colonization, non-indigenous religions and culture, became historically differentiated from the majority of Filipinos. ICCs/IPs shall likewise include peoples who are regarded as indigenous on account of their descent from the populations which inhabited the country, at the time of conquest or colonization, or at the time of inroads of non- indigenous religions or cultures, or the establishment of present state boundaries, who retain some or all of their own social, economic, cultural and political institutions, but who may have been displaced from their traditional domains or who may have resettled outside their ancestral domains.

4

Sub-watershed - Normally its boundary or divide is delineated topographically, following the ridges in a landscape. However, its area can also be outlined based on the bedrock formation that impacts groundwater. This divide is called phreatic. The difficulty of groundwater study and the convenience of using a contour map to outline the watershed boundary resulted to the use of the topographic divide instead of the phreatic divide. Inside a watershed, water is channeled through a network of tributaries. Due to vast coverage of some watersheds, it is divided into sub-watersheds. Watershed and sub-watershed is used interchangeably in the INREMP context (Watershed Characterization and Vulnerability Assessment using Geographic Information System- DENR-FMB)

Watershed - Watershed management is the process of guiding and organizing land Management and other resource uses in a watershed to provide desired goods and services without adversely affecting soil, water and other natural resources. The watershed management plan shall be holistic, integrated and participatory. It shall fully take into account the well- being of the affected communities, including the indigenous peoples (DENR-DMC 2008-05)

Watershed - An operational plan developed in a participatory way with all Management stakeholders concerned for a defined watershed that recognizes legal Plan (WMP) tenurial rights and defines the uses for land and other resources in the watershed to provide desired goods and services without adversely affecting soil, water, and other natural resources. It establishes an investment schedule for financial and other resource inputs to improve the productivity of the land with a 5-year rolling program of activities.

The watershed management plan is consistent with the watershed and ecosystems management framework designed (i) to strengthen convergence and collaboration between and among various agencies and other stakeholders; (ii) develop and maintain an effective database management system for watershed information; and (iii) to upgrade the technical and operational capabilities of DENR, LGUs and other stakeholders for the sustainable development of watershed. It describes the current land use, potential development, define and prioritize sub-projects and established a work program for implementation of LGU clusters and municipal development councils. WMPs are institutionalized and adopted by LGUs.

Upland - Land area located on slopes of more than 18%

Upper River - The upstream portions of a river basin where the headwaters of Basin streams and rivers emanate, consisting of lands with moderate to very steep slopes and medium-to-high elevations relative to the river basin valley

7 Executive Summary

The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project (INREMP) is a seven-year development initiative (2013-2020) executed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through the Forest Management Bureau (FMB). INREMP aims to address the unsustainable watershed management in four (4) priority river basins: (i) the Chico River Basin (CURB) in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Northern Luzon; (ii) the Wahig– Inabanga River Basin (WIRB) on the island of Bohol; (iii) the Lake Lanao River Basin (LLRB) in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao; and (iv) the Upper Bukidnon River Basin (BURB) in Bukidnon, .

A semi-annual report on Environment and Social Safeguards is submitted to ADB as part of compliance to ADB Loan Agreement and in reference to ADB SPS 2009 and INREMP’s RF, IPPF and EARF. This report is the first of the 2 semi-annual report for 2019, covering the period of January to June 2019.

INREMP is currently facilitating 60 rural infrastructure, 242 NRM and LES subprojects in various stages. Social and environment safeguards documents such as social and environment safeguards analysis, minutes of public consultations, involuntary resettlement (IR), indigenous peoples (IP) and rapid environmental assessment (REA) checklists and waivers and quitclaims, environmental impact assessment (EIA)/ environmental management plan (EMP), environmental , environmental compliance certificate (ECC)/ certificate of non-coverage (CNCs), cutting permits (as applicable) are appended to subproject documents (SPDs) submitted to ADB for issuance of no-objection letter (NOL). As category A in IP, Category B for Involuntary Resettlement and in Environment, rural infrastructure subprojects prepare IPPs and IEEs respectively. These safeguards documents are cleared and disclosed at ADB website.

Subprojects under implementation are monitored regularly. Safeguard monitoring tools have been prepared to assist and facilitate monitoring at people’s organization (PO), local government units (LGUs) and implementing units’ level. These monitoring tools take off from INREMPs safeguard frameworks: resettlement framework (RF), indigenous peoples’ framework (IPPF)

Social Safeguards compliance and monitoring results and findings, including grievance redress mechanism are discussed in this document. Public participation and consultation, capacity building and institutional arrangements are also included.

8 A. Background of the Report and Project Description

1. The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project (INREMP) is a seven-year development initiative (2013-2020) executed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through the Forest Management Bureau (FMB). INREMP aims to address the unsustainable watershed management in four (4) priority river basins: (i) the Chico River Basin (CURB) in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Northern Luzon; (ii) the Wahig– Inabanga River Basin (WIRB) on the island of Bohol; (iii) the Lake Lanao River Basin (LLRB) in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao; and (iv) the Upper Bukidnon River Basin (BURB) in Bukidnon, Northern Mindanao.

2. INREMP impact will be improved condition of watersheds generating livelihood benefits in the four URBs covering at least 24 watersheds in four (4) regions composed of nine provinces, 81 municipalities and approximately 1,332 barangays. The outcome will be increased rural household incomes and local government unit (LGU) revenues in selected watersheds in the four URBs. INREMP has 4 outputs: (1) River basin and watershed management and investment plans established; (2) Smallholder and institutional investments in conservation increased and URB productivity enhanced in the forestry, agriculture and rural sectors. (3) River basin and watershed management capacity and related governance mechanisms strengthened. (4) Project management and support services delivered.

3. This Report is the 5th in the series of semi-annual monitoring reports and contains progress achieved in the reporting period covering January to June 2019. As per Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Categorization, INREMP is Category A, in Indigenous People’s as most of the areas in 4 URBs are within ancestral domains and/or occupied by IPs and Category B in Involuntary Resettlement and Environment Safeguard. As access restriction issues and unanticipated impacts during subprojects implementation are likely, safeguards documents such as IPP, EMP, RP, ECC/CNC conditions/restrictions, due diligence reports and those identified in the subproject proposals are monitored to ensure they are compliant to monitoring parameters and criteria set forth in INREMP’s IPPF, RF and EARF.

4. A Resettlement Framework (RF), Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) and Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) were prepared for the project. These safeguard frameworks harmonizes with the existing government laws and Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) of Asian Development Bank (ADB). The resettlement framework covers involuntary physical and economic displacement arising from land acquisition and restrictions on land use while the EARF provides the procedures for environmental assessment and review of component activities in each subproject. IPPF on the other hand, ensure that INREM subprojects are designed and implemented in a way that fosters full respect for IP identity, dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, and cultural uniqueness as defined by the IPs themselves to enable them to (i) receive culturally appropriate social and economic benefits, (ii) do not suffer adverse impacts as a result of the project, and (iii) can participate actively in the project.

5. Involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples and environmental safeguards impacts of the project are anticipated in Component 2, Smallholder and institutional investments in conservation increased and URB productivity enhanced in the forestry, agriculture and rural 2 sectors. Subprojects under this component are Natural Resources Management (NRM), Livelihood Enhancement Support (LES) and Rural Infrastructure (RI) proposed

2 NRM Subprojects include reforestation (REFO), assisted natural regeneration (ANR), conservation farming (CF), agroforestry, commercial tree plantation (CTP) and community based protection and monitoring (CBPM).

9 and implemented by People’s Organizations (POs) and Local Government Units (LGUs). These subproject interventions are expected to improve the use of natural and land resources, reduce poverty and reverse environmental degradation.

B. Status of INREMP Subprojects Implementation

Rural Infrastructure (RI) Subprojects

6. As of June 2019, INREMP facilitated the preparation, development and processing of sixty (60) RI subprojects (SPs) participated by LGUs in 4 URBs. The Rural Infrastructures subprojects comprised of forty-two (42) access roads, eight (8) Level II water system, five (5) communal irrigation system, four (4) footpath and one (1) trading center. Refer to Table 1 for details of status.

Natural Resources Management (NRM) Subprojects

7. As of June 2019, a total of 428 Peoples Organizations (PO) have implemented a total of 1,288 NRM subprojects in various modalities such as, Agroforestry(AGRO), Commercial Tree Plantation (CTP), Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR), Conservation Farming (CF), Reforestation (REFO) and Community Based Protection and Monitoring (CBPM). For all URBs, most areas under their subprojects have been developed or planted and some are already under maintenance and protection.

Livelihood Enhancement Support (LES) Subprojects

8. DENR and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) facilitated the management and implementation of livelihood enhancement support subprojects in the different URBs except in LLRB where DTI do not have any intervention. To differentiate, LES 1 is DENR-led where all URBs have interventions while LES 2 is DTI led where LLRB is not included. Subprojects under LES 1 are already in the proposal development 17

stage, while for DTI-led LES, subproject proposal preparations and packaging activities were undertaken through series of stakeholder and PO orientations and series of workshops and meetings. The DTI Provincial Offices are requesting guidance from the DENR specifically on the land acquisition considering that the regular Shared Service Facility (SSF) of DTI do not need land acquisition as a result of project implementation. Sites for the SSF under the regular DTI project, should have been the partner counterpart and should have acquired before proposal preparation since it is one of the condition and criteria.

9. DENR-led LES, due to voluminous subproject proposals (SPPs) from POs of all URBs were collated and categorized to facilitate efficient review, packaging and subsequent submission to ADB for issuance of NOL. The following categories:  Category 1 is for Concrete drying pavement  Category 2 is for Irrigation Water facilities  Category 3 is for the Small constructed facilities  Category 4 is for the Agricultural machinery and milling facilities  Category 5 is for food processing facilities/equipment.

10. In 2019, the ADB has already cleared all Categories except Category 5 of LES 1 to start the procurement process. The procurement was based on the ADB Procurement Guidelines which involved shopping method where three quotation or canvas is required per item. The ADB issued its NOLs on 28 November 2018 and 11 December 2018, covering the DENR-led LES for Category 1 and Categories 2-4, respectively covering 13 POs of the 4 URBs, while Category 5 is still pending due to environmental safeguards concerns (refer Table 3).

C. Objective and Scope of Social Safeguards Semi-annual Monitoring Report

I. Objectives of Social Monitoring Report

11. The main objective of monitoring the implementation of Social Safeguards is to determine if these RF/RPs, MOA, and IPF/IPPs are being carried out in accordance with INREMP Project Administration Manual (PAM) and ADB Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS). The NPCO conducts the supervision and in-house monitoring of the implementation of the RPs and the IPPs as prescribed. The procedure for monitoring the MOA that the project proponent enters into with affected IPs inside ADs is guided by the monitoring, evaluation, and reporting arrangements set forth in that MOA. The monitoring of the IPP for affected ICCs/IPs living outside ancestral domains will fall under IM in coordination with the NCIP. 18

12. The January to June 2019 Safeguard Semi-annual Monitoring Report intends to determine and highlight the significant accomplishments for the period in terms of compliance with safeguards requirements for IP and IR, adverse impact if any, and mitigating measures formulated to address and lessen the impact.

II. Scope of Social Monitoring Report

13. The coverage of the SMR for the reporting period is the implementation of various subprojects aside from the NRM. Given that most of the regular NRM subprojects in terms of area or site development were already accomplished, most of them are in the maintenance and protection activities that are being done on a quarterly basis. The PO partners are no longer tied up in the plantation area but more on livelihood activities.

14. The implementation of Rural Infrastructure by the LGU has a separate safeguards monitoring because the LGUs are the one required to monitor and supervise the construction and shall see to it that all safeguards requirements are fully complied by the Contractor. However, FMB/DENR as the executing agency of INREMP is responsible in the implementation and monitoring of all subprojects of INREMP.

III. Subprojects Safeguards Performance Monitoring

15. INREMP continuous to undertake internal monitoring thru the Site Management Officers and M&E Officers. Both monitoring seeks to ensure that safeguards plans such as RPs, IPP/CMPs, ADSDPPs, MOA with IPs, EMP/EIAMMPs, IEEs, ECCs, CNCs are carried out as planned and in accordance to INREMPs RF, IPPF and EARF and ADB’s SPS 2009. Internal monitoring indicators covers the following a.) budget and timeframe; b) public participation and consultation; and c) benefit monitoring. At least 2 Safeguards monitoring tools3 were prepared for this purpose. Series of orientations and trainings were conducted on the use of these tools. Monitoring for NRM subprojects were undertaken by field implementing staff at respective Watershed Management Project Coordinating Offices (WMPCO). The same is observed with RI subprojects, except the LGU, as the one in-charge for the implementation of rural infrastructure, takes the lead in monitoring. While the POs and LGUs as proponents are expected to conduct monitoring more frequently, INREMP through its field implementing staff assigned conducted monitoring on a monthly basis.

16. For subprojects to proceed to implementation5, safeguards compliance have to be reviewed and cleared by ADB through NOLs on SPDs and SPPs. RI subprojects are category B in involuntary resettlement and environment safeguards, hence all SPDs and safeguards documents such as IPP/CMPs, EAIMMP/EMPs and IEE’s are cleared by ADB and posted in their website for disclosure. NRM and LES subprojects are category C, hence issued “first-of- its-kind” NOL by ADB, indicating succeeding similar subprojects are subject to post review by ADB.

IV. Social Safeguard Performance Monitoring

Involuntary Resettlement (IR)

17. Majority of the subproject sites are located in forest lands which is classified as public land under the jurisdiction of the Forest Management Bureau (FM), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Forest tenure arrangements such as stewardship contracts and community-based forest management agreements (CBFMA) among others were secured by forest occupants. These tenure arrangements as per FMB Memoranda dated May and June 2017 clarifies that this grants the forest occupants a privilege and not a right over the forest land. That in case projects of national interest is undertaken in the subject area, a proper consultation should be conducted and waiver or non-waiver of rights is no longer required. However, any improvements 19

introduced on the affected area or portion should be subject to compensation. INREMP RF entitlement matrix sets out compensation of these and further clarifies affected persons or forest occupants without tenure arrangements are entitled to the same compensation. In this premise possibility of land acquisition impacts are minimal. This usually occur when rural infrastructure (RI) or livelihood subprojects traverses/encroach or located in alienable and disposable (A&D) lands, respectively. During preparation of SPD, these are avoided by reducing length and/or width of subproject for rural infrastructures

18. RI Subprojects that traverses or encroach in A&D lands, which is very minimal are negotiated for purchase or donations. These lands are usually shoulders needed for the road rehabilitation/improvement (roads are already existing/established) and only minimal portions of land ownership mostly not exceeding 10% of the entire land and does not sacrifice productivity and use. LES subprojects in A&D areas involves acquisition of areas for facilities and equipment for processing, hence various land acquisition agreements are submitted by PO proponents.

19. With regards to LES, the POs were required to identify the areas within the community as the possible location for the construction of facilities for LES. However, there should be proper consultation and documentation on the process of land acquisition and proof of evidence on the agreement reached between the PO and land claimant. While alternative location or sites for LES subproject be identified if negotiations for acquisition fail. All NRM subprojects are managed by POs who are under forest tenure arrangement and others are within the ancestral domains.

20. The table below showed the number of POs with LES 1 and LES 3 that will be needing a land area for the construction of various livelihood facilities. These facilities ranges from drying pavement, warehouse or storage area, livelihood center or processing center. The mode of acquisition varies on the different situation and condition in the field, either waiver of rights, community resolution, usufruct agreement, quit claim and others.

Table 4. Number of POs Requiring Land Acquisition for the Construction of Livelihood Facilities

URB Number of POs (LES 1) No. of POs (LES 3) 1. CURB 18 13 2. WIRB 13 0 3. BURB 10 9 4. LLRB 8 0

TOTAL 49 22

21. To address the issues and standardized the land acquisition procedures for LES Subprojects, a “Land Use Mechanism Matrix” was prepared to guide field implementing unit staff to facilitate compliance. The matrix presented various scenarios in terms of land classification and land uses. In most cases especially in CURB, land areas for the construction of livelihood facilities are within ancestral domain, wherein resolution of consent from the Council of Elders (COE) shall be issued to designate a particular area for the use of the community for its livelihood activities. Consent from the land claimant (family or clan) shall also be issued in favor of the PO to clearly state the arrangement and agreements between both parties on the use and duration of the use of the land parcel specifically for livelihood activities. The table below shows the different scenarios and options for land acquisitions for livelihood activities of the PO partners. POs are registered entities with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Labor and Employment and Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).

22. The same matrix was also provided to DTI for their guidance in the construction and establishments of Shared Service Facilities (SSF).

23. In addition “Project at a Glance” Forms were likewise to be complied to provide details on location and size of the land where structure will be constructed. This form is designed to identify in a summative format social safeguards compliance of proposed subprojects, including RI’s.

21

Indigenous Peoples (IP)

24. Subproject sites within ancestral domain lands undergo a Free and Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) process to facilitate issuance of Certificate of Precondition (CP) as prescribed in RA 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) Law and the INREMP IP Framework. Joint validation and consultation activities among the indigenous POs, National Commission of Indigenous Peoples NCIP) and DENR were conducted, to solicit opinions and consent of IPs to implement subproject activities in their domains. In CURB, NCIP issued CPs per subprojects, in cluster barangays/ancestral domains or POs, while in BURB, CPs are secured per subproject types (NRM, LES and RI) based on the area coverage and jurisdiction of the NCIP Community Service Center (CSC) in the locality. CP for WIRB was already issued for ancestral domain lands occupied by Eskaya Tribes in 2017. In BURB, all RI subprojects (access roads) within ancestral domains, were issued with a Usufruct Agreement between the IPs and DENR. This agreement (appended in the SPD) is a consent given by the indigenous POs through signed agreement by their Council of Elders to rehabilitate/improve and use the subproject area/location.

25. CP of WIRB for the Eskaya Tribe has been issued in 2017, while various CPs in CURB have been simultaneously issued. As of June 2019 a total of 113 CPs have been issued in CURB. There were 4 CPs from BURB issued and signed by the NCIP Regional Director on 27 February 2019. However, these CPs are still to be transmitted to the NCIP Central Office for signature of the Ethnographic Commissioner and confirmation of the NCIP Chairperson.

26. Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) and/or Community Management Plan (CMP) totaling to 283 were prepared for the different subprojects to be implemented within ancestral domain or areas occupied by indigenous peoples as specified in the IPPF. However, there were only a total of 135 CMPs updated and finalized to consolidate other CMPs into one, on a per ancestral domain or tribal groupings. There were 88 CMPs prepared for CURB and 45 CMPs for BURB. In other URBs, IPP was prepared for the Eskaya Tribe in WIRB and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP) for Maranao communities of LLRB were already submitted and eventually cleared by ADB.

Remaining CPs for CURB are still on process and awaiting issuance from NCIP. These CPs will cover CBPM, CF and LES subprojects. WIRB CP has been issued in 2018. 8 Grievance Mechanism Yes GRM steps, mechanism, contact numbers and Intake Forms are incorporated in SPD and IEEs

For NRM and LES, grievance mechanism is resolved at first level by the PO Officers, while RI subprojects, the LGU, contractor and Barangay are involved in resolution of any grievances arising

D. Public Participation, Consultation and Capacity Building

28. Consultations were held with key stakeholders of subprojects including IPs as applicable. Minutes, attendance sheet and photographs are appended in the SPDs and SPPs submitted to ADB for NOL. For subprojects within ancestral domain or with presence of IPs, consent/s are solicited through series of DENR-NCIP-PO (with LGU for RI) joint validation, mapping and series of consultation activities. These series of activities facilitate the following IP safeguards compliance:

 FPIC process as a pre-requisite to issuance of CPs  Finalization of CMPs and IPPs and various Capacity Building Trainings (Appendix 1)  Information Disclosure and other Capacity Building activities (Appendix 2,3)  Social and Environmental Monitoring for RI in BURB (Appendix 4  Tribal Council Resolution or an IP Resolution of Support endorsing the subproject  Resolution of Support endorsing the subproject  Safeguards Checklists (IR, IP and REA)

29. CMP Updating and finalization were conducted from February to June 2019 with technical assistance and editing provided by ADB. There were 135 CMPs in all URBs submitted to ADB.

Status of IPP/CMP Implementation

30. The IPP/CMP described the visions and objectives of the tribal group and identified various interventions they need to protect and develop the area to enhance the well-being of each community member. The IPP/CMP shall also be used as the benchmark in conducting monitoring to ensure that interventions will adhere to their culture and traditions and will not create adverse impact to the area and to the community members.

31. The DENR shall conduct Internal monitoring and the indicators to be used shall cover the following a.) budget and timeframe; b) public participation and consultation; and c) benefit monitoring. At least 2 Safeguards monitoring tools3 were prepared for this purpose. Series of orientations and trainings were conducted on the use of these tools. Monitoring for NRM subprojects were undertaken by field implementing staff at respective Watershed Management Project Coordinating Offices (WMPCO). The same is observed with RI subprojects, except the LGU, as the one in-charge for the implementation of rural infrastructure, takes the lead in monitoring. While the POs and LGUs as proponents are expected to conduct monitoring more frequently, INREMP through its field implementing staff assigned conducted monitoring on a monthly basis.

32. Continuous guidance and technical assistance for subproject proposal packaging with POs and LGUs with emphasis on safeguards compliance were conducted in various URB especially for the LES and other RI respectively.

33. For DTI-led LES 2, subproject proposal preparation training was conducted in January 2019 (BURB), March 2019 (CURB) and July 2019 (WIRB). The trainings conducted in these URBs focused on the social and environmental safeguards requirements and mode of compliance to these requirements. The trainings was facilitated by CESM and NPCO to orient the field units on the common and minimum requirements of the IPF, RP and ESMR to be complied in preparing subproject proposals.

34. Procurement processes and requirements for RI subprojects were conducted headed by FASPS and NPCO for the different LGUS in BURB and WIRB. Contractor’s obligations to compliance of safeguards were reminded to LGU-SPMUs, specifically budget allocation for compliance of safeguards, compliance to labor and health standards and local hiring with equal opportunities for women and IP.

35. During the ADB Mission for Rural Infrastructure Monitoring held in various URBs, it was observed that there was no pre-construction conference or meeting held which is very important to level-off on the procedures and requirements among the key actors (LGU, DENR, Contractor, PO), which is the reason that the ADB required that a pre-construction conference or meeting be held for all RI subprojects prior to start of construction or civil works to level off on the requirements and how to make corrective actions when problem arises during construction. Obligations of Contractor including safeguards compliance stipulated in the EAIMMP, IEE, IPP/CMPs and other safeguards documents were discussed and reiterated.

E. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)

36. In the previous submission, there was no report pertaining to grievances and issues arising from INREMP implementation. It is only in 2019 that CURB reported several issues arising from INREMP implementations. There were 5 cases that need the attention of the different offices of the DENR at the field level. The 5 cases reported were somehow resolved with appropriate recommendations and agreements. Table 7 showed the different cases, with the corresponding actions taken and agreement reached.

F. Institutional Arrangement

37. The National Project Coordinating Office (NPCO) is tasked to oversee safeguards compliance in all project implementing units. To enhance NPCOs capacity, Project Consultants were engaged:  1 Social Development Specialist (SDS-Assisting Professional) at NPCO  1 Social Safeguards Specialist (SSS for Rural Infrastructure) at NPCO  1 Social Safeguards Specialist (SSS) at TA-PMIC (National Level)  1 Environment Specialist (ES) at TA-PMIC (National Level)  10 Technical Extension Officers (TEOs) URB based at RPCO and PPMO

38. The SDS and SSS at NPCO provides assistance in the social and environmental compliance and concerns of all subprojects in NRM and RI respectively. The SSS and ES of TA- PMIC through Center for Environmental Studies Management (CESM) provides assistance in the appraisal, safeguards screening and preparation of IPPs and IEEs, EMPs/EIAMMPs, of subprojects in RI. At WMPCO Level, Watershed Management Officers (WMOs) and Community Development Officers (CDOs) provide assistance to POs and LGUs in social and environmental safeguards compliance of subprojects in NRM and RI.

39. TEO’s safeguards tasks specifically are: i.) Work with the NPCO, WMPCO and RPCO in integrating social safeguards (indigenous people and involuntary resettlement), environmental safeguards and gender and compliance to processes of all activities (subprojects, trainings, workshops and others) in a watershed; ii.)Review and coordinate the integration of social safeguards requirement in all subproject proposals and participate in Council deliberations of such proposals and iii.) Provide support in internal monitoring of subproject implementation and confirm the technical soundness of the social safeguard measures.

40. The LGU-SPMU coordinates and manages the RI subprojects. The Subproject Management Unit (SPMU) is created for every subproject by virtue of an executive order. However, it was noted during RI Safeguards Training, the SPMU executive order lacked a clear person in charge and/or a unit that will be in charge of the safeguards monitoring and GRM as well. As part of their workshop outputs, LGUs reconstituted their SPMUs to incorporate separate unit for safeguards monitoring and GRM.

G. Overall Status, Issues, Concerns and Proposed Actions

41. The overall status of Social Monitoring Report for January to June 2019 is satisfactory considering that there was no identified adverse effect in the INREMP implementation. However, the CURB have identified five (5) GRM cases but eventually with the coordination and cooperation of various stakeholders and government units, the issues were settled.

42. There was no reporting in terms of land acquisition for the LES for the period considering that there was no physical movement during the period. However, several orientations and consultations were made to inform the POs on the modes of land acquisitions required before going into the construction of livelihood facilities.

43. The DTI organized several trainings on subproject proposal preparation and requested the NCPO and CESM to act as resource speakers to discuss the social and environmental safeguards requirements.

35

44. In the succeeding period, among the key activities for safeguards compliance to be monitored and reported are the following:

 Status of Issuance of CPs in CURB and BURB  Engagement of External Monitor  Hiring of Environment Specialist at NPCO  Updates and Status of Land Acquisition for LES Subprojects  Updates on compliance of safeguards for SPDs and SPPs

Some Activities in BURB on Capacity Building and Information Disclosure

A. PO Mentoring and Coaching on Geotag Photos

Part of the strengthening activities in relation to INREMP Interventions, the Manupali staff facilitated by GIS Officer C. Bulatao initiated to conduct coaching & mentoring to People’s Organization (PO) monitoring team on the new mobile phone application and procedures in capturing geotag photos. The required (captured) photos will be utilized in the online monitoring or the Contract Management Information System (CMIS) that can be accessed soon by the consultants and concerns as part of providing information regarding the status of the project. As it is required to attach photos and subject to updating from time to time, PO monitoring teams are coached in order to capture appropriate angles and procedures in geotagging of NRM subproject sites.

B. PO Strengthening and Meeting to People’s Organizations (Information, Education and Communication) for Information Disclosure

The Manupali watershed staff initiated to attend PO/IPO assemblies and meetings to discuss matters on NRM accomplishments. Per agenda discussion, Focal Person Bryan Estoesta emphasized to the beneficiaries the 100% validation on 2015 and 2016 interventions by the consultants and NPCO team that will commence soon. Thereupon, requiring them to facilitate completion especially with the maintenance and protection activities and to rectify areas which have discrepancies in mapping.

More so, forest fire protection and prevention were also discussed by INREMP focal person as part of the fire prevention month activities, informing them of the preventive measures to avoid forest fire and damages to the established plantation while the sites are delicate to fire during this season. This is in addition to the team’s initiated strategies to produce IEC materials like poster/signage concerning protection of the established plantation especially that dumped garbage were observed on established sites. Thereupon, tarpaulin/signage are mounted to NRM sites prone to by passers.

ME Officer LCR Moralde facilitated to revisit scoping results that was conducted last November 2018 as part of reviewing and assessing the POs if they have complied the documents and took actions on the matter that needs to be done before the accreditation and assessment (AA) team will evaluate the PO for recommendation to approval that is scheduled on last week of March 2019 until April 2019.

Livelihood Enhancement Support (LES) Updates were also discussed by SD Officer EJJ Adane and required them to facilitate and submit the lacking documents and attachments of their LES proposals. She announced that billing documents will be prepared soon and informed the PO that they will assist in the

43

procurement of equipments/materials/items to their proposed subprojects especially with the quotation/canvass of goods to three dealers.

In addition, GIS Officer Bulatao pronounced to the PO members to give the exact given name of the beneficiaries especially with the mapped areas for inclusion in the CMIS instead of giving alias or nickname, while it was observed that mapped areas names do not coincide with the master list and the GIS finds it hard to finalize the maps.

C. Information, Education & Communication on Climate Change in Celebration with World Water Day

CENRO Valencia spearheaded the IEC campaign on Climate Change tapping the Elementary School Administrator of Songco as facilitated by INREMP Manupali staff while the community is one of the beneficiaries of the INREMP interventions. The activity conducted on March 21, 2019 at Songco Elementary School was participated and attended by the Songco elementary teachers and pupils. Presence of CENR Ferdinand Dagulo graced the event while inspiring them words of wisdom especially with taking care of the environment and of the community. For. Christian Jebulan highlighted the climate change discussion while Ms. Catherine Lopez, SMO of Manupali discussed on the importance of water as part of the World Water Day celebration.
