Avenido Phone: (0917)510-9892 Email: [email protected] ROAD NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN CONFLICT- AFFECTED AREAS IN MINDANAO INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION MANUANGAN-PARANG ROAD Project Background Within Mindanao, the ARMM remains the poorest region with poverty incidence of 55.8% in 2012. Likewise, the region’s GRDP in 2015 accounts for only 0.7% of the Philippines’ GDP with annual average growth in the last five years of merely 1.13% which is the smallest among the regions. Similarly, economic structure of the region reflects its position as less developed where agriculture accounts for more than half (59.1%) of the GRDP with industry accounts only for 2.7% and services accounts for 38.2%. Recognizing the above, the GOP through DPWH has made a request to the Government of Japan to undertake feasibility study of 7 priority roads identified in the 2016 JICA assisted Bangsamoro Development Plan – II. Part of the tasks is to study the possibility of utilizing Yen loan as of the possible sources of fund to implement the identified projects. The Preparatory Survey started in August 2017 and is expected to complete in May 2018 The Road Network Development Project in Conflict Affected Areas in Mindanao is a Japan International Cooperation (JICA) assisted study in the Republic of the Philippines. The said study is awarded to CTI Engineering International Co. Ltd. in joint venture with Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd., and IC-Net Ltd. referred to as JICA Study Team. The project area has favorable natural conditions for agriculture –i.e. high temperature, plenty of rainfalls distributed throughout a year, dominant fertile soil and outside of the typhoon belt. Infrastructure supply is also limited – ARMM for instance needs 800 km of new road to close the gap with other regions in Mindanao. One of the reasons for delay of development is the presence of protracted armed conflict between the government and different armed groups (particularly MILF). In recent years, efforts towards securing peace is gaining momentum, FAB (Framework on the Bangsamoro) was signed in 2014; BBL was submitted to Congress this August 2017. For the region to recover, there’s a need to complement the progress of the peace process by way of addressing the shortage of infrastructure supply in the region.

Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.
