RPMES/RME REPORT 2ND QUARTER CY 2010

A. INTRODUCTION

The 2nd Quarter CY 2010 RPMES/RME Report presents the implementation status of sixteen (16) major regional development programs and projects. Of this total, two (2) are foreign-assisted projects, thirteen (13) are funded by National Government (GOP) Funds and one (1) is funded by the private sector. The ODA-funded projects include an agrarian reform support project and a coastal resources management project. The nationally-funded projects include port development, hospital upgrading, road rehabilitation, airport development, irrigation project, 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 and the 2007 SONA Commitments. On the other hand, the project that is funded by the private sector is a reforestation project.

The report highlights two (2) projects that are ahead of schedule, three (3) 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. (See pages 7 to 38)

As an enhancement, this 2nd Quarter CY 2010 RPMES Report likewise features major development projects implemented at the provincial level.

B. IMPLEMENTATION STATUS

1. Projects Ahead of Schedule

For the 2nd quarter of 2010, two (2) projects experienced a relatively smooth implementation and these are the Lallo International Airport Development Project and the Government Hospital Upgrading/Rehabilitation Project.

Located in Barangay Dagupan, Lallo, Cagayan, the Lallo International Airport 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. As of the second quarter of 2010, the batch and crushing plant have already been installed and operational. Land clearing operations have likewise been completed. So far, the project has been experiencing a smooth implementation with an overall physical accomplishment of 60.67%, ahead of schedule by 13.47%. The construction of the runway, terminal building as well as the other ancillary support structures are expected to be completed within the year.

Region 02 2nd Quarter 2010 RPMES/RME Report Page 1 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. (See page 22 for the project details.)

The other project that experienced a positive slippage during the quarter is the Government Hospital Upgrading/Rehabilitation Project. This Project entails the rehabilitation of regional, district and community hospitals, barangay health stations and several health centers in Region 2.

As of the 2nd quarter of 2010, the overall weighted physical accomplishment of the Government Hospital Upgrading/Rehabilitation Project was computed at 40.24% and is ahead of schedule by 3.76%. The rehabilitation and upgrading of the major hospitals in the region, including the acquisition of improved hospital facilities will help ensure the provision of quality health care service delivery. (See page 15 for the project details.)

2. Projects Behind Schedule

For the period under review, there are three (3) projects which experienced delays in project implementation. These include the DAR-ADB-Agrarian Reform Communities Project (ARCP), the DENR-ADB Integrated Coastal Resources Management Project and the Addalam River Irrigation Project.

Although behind schedule in implementation, the Agrarian Reform Communities Project (ARCP) of the Department of Agrarian Reform, which receives funding assistance from the ADB, has an overall weighted physical accomplishment of 98.31%, behind its target accomplishment by only 1.69%. This is due to the delayed installation of 15 shallow tube wells at Sabung ARC of Tuao in Cagayan province because of the wearing off of soil during pumping tests. Major calamities have also hampered project implementation. Given this, the LGU of Tuao, Cagayan requested for technical assistance from the PMO for a redesign of the project.

Another project that has a negative slippage is the DENR-led Integrated Coastal

Region 02 2nd Quarter 2010 RPMES/RME Report Page 2 Resources Management Program (ICRMP). This is a 6-year project that tries to address the critical issues on the sustainable management of marine and coastal resources. The project is expected to enhance the management of coastal and marine resources and reduce poverty among coastal communities.

The slow progress of the project is attributed to start-up delays such as the delayed hiring of consultants and inadequate staff support at the PMO. The extended El Niño Phenomenon also had a negative impact on the survival rate of mangrove seedlings planted in rehabilitation areas.

Among the locally-funded projects, a major project that has been experiencing delays in implementation is the Addalam River Irrigation Project (ARIP) implemented by the NIA RO2. 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, 2010.

As of the 2nd quarter of 2010, 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 out of the completed facilities is about 3,678 hectares. Out of the generated area, a total of 2,060 has. is served by irrigation water. The project registered an overall weighted physical accomplishment of 91.83% and is behind schedule by only 2.02%. (See page 30 for the project details)

3. Projects that are On Track

The 2nd quarter also saw the timely implementation of major regional projects such as the Port Irene Rehabilitation and Development Project, Philippine Peñablanca Sustainable Reforestation Project, CY 2010 Road Rehabilitation Program, and the CY 2009 School Building Program.

For the Port Irene Rehabilitation and Development Project, Phases 1 & 2 of the Breakwater Construction component have already been completed. The completion of both phases provided a marked improvement in the capability of the Port to accommodate ships as it lessened the impact of wave action on the ships that are docked or about to dock at the Port. A conveyor loading facility is likewise already operational to handle bulk and loose cargo. This alone provided a marked improvement in the capability of the Port to cater to its users’ needs, thus, improving the income of the Port.

The rehabilitation and development of Port Irene is envisioned to improve the economic activities of Cagayan province. It will likewise spur the industry growth and development of Region 02, it being the backbone of the Freeport. (See page 14 for the project details)

For the CY 2010 Road Rehabilitation Program, there are 79 road projects that have been targeted for rehabilitation. These projects are distributed in the provinces of Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya. As of the 2nd quarter of 2010, 10 road

Region 02 2nd Quarter 2010 RPMES/RME Report Page 3 projects have already been completed, 49 are ongoing while 20 have not yet been started. The rehabilitation of major and minor thoroughfares in the region will improve mobility, reduce travel time and transportation cost. Eventually, this will trigger economic activities especially in the rural areas. (See page 32 for the project details)

The CY 2009 School Building Program is composed of 143 school building projects with 204 classrooms (147 for Elementary and 57 for High School). Of the 143 projects, 142 (99.3%) have been completed and 1 (0.7%) has not yet been started. Thus, the overall weighted physical accomplishment was computed at 99.13%. The completion of the CY 2009 School Building Program will provide a total of 204 classrooms (147 CL for the elementary and 57 CL for the secondary). With the standard classroom-pupil ratio of 1:45, a total of 6,615 elementary pupils and 2,565 high school students will be benefited. (See page 29 for the project details)

Another project that experienced a smooth implementation is the Philippine Peñablanca Sustainable Reforestation Project. This Project entails the rehabilitation of around 2,500 hectares of open, denuded areas through a combination of reforestation, enhancement planting and agroforestry for biodiversity protection, watershed management and ecosystem services for the benefit of local communities over a period of six (6) years. The project adjoins the primary forest of the Sierra Madre Mountains, and is regarded an important role in protecting biodiversity through rainforest regeneration. (See page 12 for the project details)

C. EXPECTED BENEFITS/RESULTS

The ARIP is considered as one of the major agri-support projects aimed to spur the development of the agriculture sector in Region 02. Given its target service area of 5,830 hectares, its completion is critical towards improving palay and corn production and productivity, which will significantly contribute to the attainment of the region’s goal of maintaining its hold as the leading producer of rice and corn in the country.

When completed and operational, the project will benefit around 4,500 farmers with the 5,830 hectares of rice/corn land to be irrigated stretching from the municipalities of Aglipay and Saguday in Quirino to Echague and Jones in Isabela. Moreover, being a gravity type irrigation system which ensures a year-round water availability, cropping intensity will increase from only 1 to 3 cropping seasons. This will translate to a significant increase in the income of the farmer beneficiaries.
