The Enhancing Capacities on DRRM/CCA Project complements the Integrating DRR/CCA project which provides technical assistance in the preparation of the DRR/CCA-Enhanced PDPFPs of its two pilot provinces, Bukidnon and Camiguin. Remarkably, Region X is the only region that comprises all five provinces in the implementation of the Integrating DRR/CCA Project, even with only two pilot provinces (not 2 but 5 in 10). The coverage even extends to the three cities that were severely affected by TS Sendong: Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Valencia in the preparation of DRR/CCA-Enhanced CLUPs. Further, to have a more holistic and comprehensive perspective of mainstreaming DRR/CCA in development and physical planning, the riverbasinriver basin/watershed approach is adopted in the formulation/updating of the regional physical framework plan. As early as 2005, the National Land Use Committee (NLUC), with the NEDA as the Chairperson has come up with an action agenda on disaster risk management, primarily to strengthen DRR in physical planning. It has developed methodologies as embodied in the Guidelines on Mainstreaming DRR in Land Use/Physical Planning. This project is a starting point for raising the capacity of regions and provinces in DRR, using physical planning as our entry point. There were several milestones on DRR mainstreaming in planning that followed. It was in October 2009 when the Integrating DRR/CCA Project was launched. The project aims to enhance awareness and understanding of climate change and its aggravating effect on existing natural hazards and develop tools for the formulation of physical framework/land use and development plans. Both projects operationalized Administrative Order No. 1 issued by the President of the Formatted: Font: 11.5 pt Republic on September 17, 2010. This AO directsing local government units, particularly provinces, to adopt and use the Guidelines for Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction in Subnational Development and Land Use/Physical Framework Plans, and NEDA to 1 With fund support from AusAiD, New Zealand Aid Program and UNDP 2 With fund support from AusAiD, New Zealand Aid Program and UNDP ii conduct capability-building activities for planning offices at the local, regional and national levels on the use of the Guidelines. I am proud of the initiatives undertaken by Region X. It went ahead in the preparation of the Disaster Risk Assessment Report (DRAs) and the rest of the DRR/CCA mainstreaming efforts. With the methodologies/tools that were developed, the region undertook several initiatives to enhance the methodologies through the conduct of several experts fora, technical sessions and capacity building with the engagement of local and in-house experts. Now, we are a witness to this major deliverable of the project, the DRR/CCA-Enhanced RPFP, 2013-2040. It aims to significantly contribute to risk reduction efforts and help make communities more resilient to natural hazards and at the same time ensure that development efforts shall not be compromised by these hazards. The plan has five chapters: Chapter I – Introduction; Chapter 2 – The Vision, Major Goals and Objectives, Chapter 3 – The Planning Environment; Chapter 4 – The Plan Proper According to the Four Major Land Use Areas; and Chapter 5 – Plan Implementation. I highly recognize that this RPFP is a concrete result of our passionate and collective efforts in mainstreaming DRR/CCA into the physical/land use plans. It is evident that these are the fruits of hard labor and perseverance of the select pool of regional and provincial project core teams, as well as the RDC and RLUC-members, the LGUs, PSRs/NGOs, academe, among others. We all believe that wise land use planning will reduce the adverse impacts and costs caused by disasters. As I am overwhelmed of the region’s efforts in terms of DRR/CCA mainstreaming, I am more concerned on the utilization or the practical application of all the outputs of the project. This is a major challenge on how we can influence the policy and decision-makers in prioritizing resources particularly on the DRR/CCA strategic options that will be identified and eventually be implemented. On our part at the regional level, we continue to shepherd and capacitate the provinces and highly urbanized cities along DRR/CCA through our continuing and strengthened collaboration among the RLUC member-agencies, as well as with the ODA community to complement the needed resources in reducing the region’s vulnerabilities. Finally, my heartfelt thanks to all of the stakeholders in Region X who continue to support all our development endeavors, especially in serving as our strong and active partners in helping us build disaster-free and resilient communities. I encourage everyone to continue to actively participate in the technical work and in advocating /adopting DRR/CCA in your respective fields and communities.
