Recto AN ACT STRENGTHENING LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS BY INCREASING TO FIFTY PERCENT (50%) THE ANNUAL INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENT SHARE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES Explanatory Note This bill seeks to promote good governance by local governments units (LGUs) by increasing LGU share in the internal revenue allotment (IRA) from forty percent (40%) to fifty percent (50%). With the increase of their share in the national taxes, local governments shall have greater capability to become effective partners of the national government in national progress. LGUs are expected to ensure efficient and effective delivery of basic services; increase local government capacities to generate revenues, enhance financial management and improve the performance of public economic enterprises; and improve their mechanisms for transparency and accountability. Due to the significance of barangays as a basic political unit, it is but just to promote their welfare and prosperity. Hence, this bill proposes that the ten percent (10%) increase in the IRA share of LGUs may be used for the payment of compensation, allowances, emoluments and other privileges such as social security benefits of barangay officials and volunteer workers. The total IRA share released to the 43,593 LGUs in 2016 amounted to P428.62 billion.1 With the proposed 10% increase in the IRA share, the FY 2017 IRA level shall be P608.61 billion which is P121.72 billion or 21.1% higher than the projected total IRA share of P480.41 billion (without 10% increase) for all LGUs. The 10% increase in the IRA share of LGUs, if allocated to barangays, shall be enough to cover their personal services requirement. In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this measure is hereby requested. Department of Budget and Management. Local Budget Memorandum No. 70 “FY 2016 IRA Level and Other Local Budget Preparation Matters.” June 15, 2015. .

Currently, media- tion appears to be the frontrunner for domestic resolutions. It is applied to a wide variety of conflicts, including labor-management negotiations, community dis- putes, school conflicts, and marital problems. Moreover, there is evidence-from China, Taiwan, India, Britain, Australia, Japan, and Turkey-indicating that med- iation is being utilized worldwide.2 When applied worldwide to a variety of conflicts, mediation assumes diverse forms.

CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild
CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild APRIL ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK Book Endorsements Seung-soo Han Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea Creating Livable Asian Cities comes at a timely moment. The book emphasizes innovative technologies that can overcome challenges to make the region’s cities better places to live and grow. Its approach encourages stronger urban institutions focused on all people in every community. The book will inspire policy makers to consider concrete measures that can help cities ‘build back better,’ in other words, to be more resilient and able to withstand the next crisis. In the post-pandemic period, livable Asian cities are a public good, just as green spaces are. Following this credo, however, requires Asia to invest in creating livable cities so they can fulfil their potential as avenues of innovation, prosperity, inclusiveness, and sustainability. In this book, Asian Development Bank experts map the challenges facing cities in the region. Its five priority themes—smart and inclusive planning, sustainable transport, sustainable energy, innovative financing, and resilience and rejuvenation—illuminate a path for urbanization in Asia over the next decade. This book will lead us to the innovative thinking needed to improve urban life across the region. Maimunah Modh Sharif Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director, United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Creating Livable Asian Cities addresses various urban development challenges and offers in-depth analysis and rich insights on urban livability in Asia from an urban economics perspective. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is well-placed to review the investment needs of cities that will contribute to sustainable development.

The Barangay Justice System in the Philippines: Is It an Effective Alternative to Improve Access to Justice for Disadvantaged People?
THE BARANGAY JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES: IS IT AN EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE? Dissertation for the MA in Governance and Development Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex By Silvia Sanz-Ramos Rojo September 2002 Policy Paper SUMMARY This paper will analyse the Barangay Justice System (BJS) in the Philippines, which is a community mediation programme, whose overarching objective is to deliver speedy, cost-efficient and quality justice through non-adversarial processes. The increasing recognition that this programme has recently acquired is mainly connected with the need to decongest the formal courts, although this paper will attempt to illustrate the positive impact it is having on improving access to justice for all community residents, including the most disadvantaged. Similarly, the paper will focus on link between the institutionalisation of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and the decentralisation framework in the country. It will discuss how the challenging devolution of powers and responsibilities from the central government to the barangays (village) has facilitated the formal recognition of the BJS as an alternative forum for the resolution of family and community disputes. Moreover, the paper will support the idea that dispute resolution is not autonomous from other social, political and economic components of social systems, and will therefore explore how the BJS actually works within the context of the Philippine society. Thus, the analysis will be based on the differences between how the BJS should work according to the law and how it really operates in practice. It will particularly exhibit the main strengths and limitations of the BJS, and will propose certain recommendations to overcome the operational problems in order to ensure its effectiveness as an alternative to improve access to justice for the poor.

5. Reliability of the Barangay-Based Smallholder Tree Farm Inventory: Research and Policy Implications
5. RELIABILITY OF THE BARANGAY-BASED SMALLHOLDER TREE FARM INVENTORY: RESEARCH AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS Edwin Cedamon, Steve Harrison, John Herbohn and Eduardo Mangaoang The reliability of the inventories of smallholder tree farms conducted by barangay chairmen in selected municipalities in Leyte has been evaluated. The average number of trees per farm reported in the barangay-based inventory is 40 while the average verified number of trees is 49. The average stand age reported is 9.25 while the verified stand age is 9.03. No significant difference was found between the barangay-based inventory and verified data in terms of number of trees and stand age. Regression analysis shows that the difference in number of trees reported and the verified number of trees is directly proportional to the aggregate number of trees grown, thus the more trees grown, the higher the difference. The species reported by barangay-chairmen were found to be correct although some of them were reported using local names. The response rate of barangay chairmen in conducting the barangay-based inventory was acceptably high. INTRODUCTION A study to evaluate the reliability of a barangay-based inventory of smallholder tree farms has been conducted as part of the ACIAR Tree Farm Project1. Findings of this study were reported by Cedamon (2007) and Cedamon et al. (2007). The data from this study have been revisited, and the data set for an analysis of the number of trees has been refined. Key issues discussed in this paper are the following: first, ‘how reliable is the

Indigenous Knowledge in Disaster Risk Reduction
______________________________ Indigenous Knowledge in Disaster Risk Reduction Indigenous Knowledge in Disaster Risk Reduction: The Tales of Three Islands (San Miguel, Camotes and Alabat) in the Philippines JOSEPH ANTHONY L. REYES, KISS ALEXIS R. AYO, MARIA PAULA M. BALUYAN and ALAN SAM RALEI B. BALAGUER Abstract The importance of indigenous knowledge in reducing risk from disasters and natural calamities has been widely discussed in the social sciences by scholars arguing for integrative frameworks and participatory processes. This type of knowledge is vital for archipelagic developing countries, such as the Philippines, situated in a geographical area exposed to natural hazards. However, despite its potential contribution to disaster prevention, mitigation, response, rehabilitation and recovery, along with possible combination strategies with western scientific knowledge towards reducing vulnerability and disaster risk management, the literature on the integration of specific communities' indigenous knowledge- based disaster preparedness and adaptation is still limited. The novel contri- bution of this article is in the discussion of the unique indigenous knowledge identified in the cases of San Miguel Island, Camotes Island and Alabat Island, which is utilized even up to the present. Particularly, this study identifies sub- stantial aspects of indigenous knowledge that contribute to disaster risk reduc- tion in the three selected cases. Findings reveal myriad indigenous knowledge pertaining to intensity, height, direction and movement of ocean waves; intensity of winds; sudden surfacing of deep-sea creatures and unease of animals; differ- ent patterns of clouds, darkening of skies and foggy horizons, among others. In closely examining indigenous knowledge, this study sheds new light by providing meaningful insights for its contribution to disaster preparedness.
