This report contains the result of the social audit conducted on Gigasol3 Project on 21 September and 15 November 2020. It is prepared as part of the requirement of Asian Development Bank (ADB) which is considering financing the project. The financing will be through a private sector loan to ACEN. Through this report, ADB will determine whether ADB 2009 Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) requirements and other ADB social policies are applicable. If these are applicable, the social audit determines the degree of compliance to the requirements and policies. In addition, the audit also confirms the project’s compliance with applicable national laws. Through the audit process and result, ADB will confirm the following: (i) that all key potential social impacts and risks of a project are identified; (ii) that effective measures to avoid, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for the adverse impacts are incorporated into the safeguard plans and project design; (iii) that the borrower/client understands ADB’s safeguard policy principles and requirements as laid out in Safeguard Requirements 1–4 and has the necessary commitment and capacity to manage social and environmental impacts and/or risks adequately; (iv) that the role of third parties is appropriately defined in the safeguard plans; and (v) that consultations with affected people are conducted in accordance with ADB's requirements (Paragraph 56). 5. If there are aspects of non-compliance, this report will recommend corrective measures. The conduct of social audit intends to fulfill the requirements of 2009 ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) on existing facilities which it defines as facilities and/or business activities that already exist or under construction. For these facilities, the requirement is as follows: The borrower/client will undertake an environment and/or social compliance audit, including on-site assessment, to identify past or present concerns related to impacts on the environment, involuntary resettlement, and Indigenous Peoples. The objectives of the compliance audit are to determine whether actions were in accordance with ADB’s safeguard principles and requirements for borrowers/clients, and the project’s compliance with applicable national laws and regulations, and to identify and plan appropriate measures to address outstanding compliance issues. Where noncompliance is identified, a corrective action plan agreed on by ADB and the borrower/client will be prepared. The plan will define necessary remedial actions, the budget for such actions, and the time frame for resolution of noncompliance (2009 ADB SPS Appendix 4 Paragraph 12). 3. Methodology 6. Primary and secondary information are used to prepare this report. The sources of primary information are on-site observation and interview with key stakeholders and project staff. Due to existing coronavirus disease (COVID 19) pandemic control measures, primary data collection was 1 https://www.ers.my/about-ers-energy/ and http://www.jcelectrofields.biz/AboutUs/CompanyProfile made virtually. The on-site observation was conducted through a video tour and review of still photographs which provide aerial and ground views of the site and vicinity. 7. To collect information from key stakeholders, a two-tier interview was conducted. This was done by preparing a set of guide questions beforehand and sending these to the interviewees so that they could review and prepare the answers. The project staff subsequently administered the guide questions to the interviewee as the first-tier interview between 30 September and 14 October 2020. The responses to the guide questions were sent to the social auditor who subsequently conducted the second-tier interview on 14-15 October 2020. The interview which was done online confirmed and clarified the interviewee’s responses to the guide questions and probed for more information. The list of interviewees is in Appendix 1 and the guide questions are in Appendix 2. 8. The interview of the project staff and

  • The Struggle of the Small-Scale Fisherfolk of Masinloc and Oyon Bay for Good Governance in a Protected Seascape by Cesar Allan Vera1
    The Struggle of the Small-Scale Fisherfolk of Masinloc and Oyon Bay for Good Governance in a Protected Seascape By Cesar Allan Vera1 Introduction In 1992, President Fidel Ramos visited the people of Masinloc and took a leisurely dive in the waters of Masinloc Bay. From a backdrop of live corals, a swarm of damselfish, butterflyfish, groupers, lobsters and other creatures took over the chores of welcoming the President to the beautiful waters of bay. The vision of vibrant lifeforms was awe inspiring, considering that the same water was heavily devastated by dynamite and cyanide fishing just a few years before. The turnaround in the state of the coastal waters was a result of a sanctuary set up in San Salvador Island through the help of a Peace Corp Volunteer. However, the success of the sanctuary can be credited to the determination of the residents of the island to protect and preserve their natural resources. Through a community-based coastal resource management program of the non-government organization (NGO) Haribon Foundation, the local fisherfolk organization called Samahang Pangkaunlaran ng San Salvador (SPSS), took it upon themselves to manage the marine sanctuary and reserve. Their effort was legitimized by Municipal Ordinance no. 30, series of 1988. Local government officials capitalized on the enthusiastic dive of the President by lobbying Congress to declare the Masinloc and Oyon Bay as a Protected Seascape under Republic Act 7586, the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act. Several consultations and public hearings were then conducted. Eventually, Masinloc and Oyon Bay was declared as a protected seascape through Proclamation No.

  • The 19991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruption and the Aetus of the Phillip
    5 International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters March 2006, Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 5-43 Traditional Societies in the Face of Natural Hazards: The 1991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruption and the Aetas of the Philippines Jean-Christophe Gaillard Laboratoire Territoires, UMR PACTE 5194 CNRS Institut de Géographie Alpine 14 bis, avenue Marie Reynoard 38100 Grenoble France [email protected] This article explores the response of traditional societies in the face of natural hazards through the lens of the concept of resilience. Resilient societies are those able to overcome the damages brought by the occurrence of natural hazards, either through maintaining their pre-disaster social fabric, or through accepting marginal or larger change in order to survive. Citing the case of the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines and its impact on the Aeta communities who have been living on the slopes of the volcano for centuries, it suggests that the capacity of resilience of traditional societies and the concurrent degree of cultural change rely on four factors, namely: the nature of the hazard, the pre-disaster socio- cultural context and capacity of resilience of the community, the geographical setting, and the rehabilitation policy set up by the authorities. These factors significantly vary in time and space, from one disaster to another. It is important to perceive their local variations to better anticipate the capability of traditional societies to overcome the damage brought by the occurrence of natural hazards and therefore predict eventual cultural change. 5 6 International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters Introduction Natural hazards are those natural phenomena that pose a threat to people, structures and economic assets.
