For this year, the LLDA’s effort were mostly concentrated on performing various activities in response to the directives of President Duterte, of giving due entitlement to small fishermen in the lake. Correspondingly, the LLDA Board of Directors (BOD), headed by Sec. Cimatu of DENR, approved BR 540, January of the year, which aims to revise the Fishery Zoning and Management Plan of 1999 and develop equitable allocation of resources in the fishery sector. Series of public consultations and fora were conducted to further clarify issues and concerns that should be considered in the revision of the ZOMAP. In turn, the Authority led the first Registration of Fishermen in Laguna de Bay in partnership with Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Council (FARMC) and local government units (LGUs), of which 11,841 fishermen were recorded in the LLDA database.

The Authority has also investigated the illegal reclamation activities being undertaken in the shoreland areas of City, wherein two big firms were ordered to cease its operation and few small establishments were demolished.

Aside from the approval of BR 540, several resolutions have been approved and ratified by the LLDA BOD, aiming to promote programs and projects related to fishery management and development of management plans for small lakes in Laguna province. Certain agreements with various institutions and organizations were also authorized relative to the establishment of pilot floating solar project and conduct of research projects on water quality monitoring. The new Vision and Mission of LLDA was also approved through BR 542 series of 2018.

The LLDA management through the leadership of GM Medina, were also keen on the implementation of BR 414, a resolution which seeks to institutionalize and implement the Integrated Watershed Management Program (IWMP) and create sub Watershed Management Councils (subWQMA). Other than the Santa Rosa subWQMA which was formally established in 2017 and is now on the implementation of its action plan, the Pagsanjan-Lumban sub-WQMA was also organized this year, while San Pedro and Morong-Teresa sub-WQMAs are on the process.

Also in this year, the Citizen Charter of the Agency was revised to offer a more efficient delivery of services to its stakeholders in compliance with the PRRD order on Ease of Doing Business per RA No. 11032. Most of all, the agency has received the AJA Registrar Certification No. AJA15- 0051 for achieving the ISO 9001:2015 QMS Certification as a proof of an enhanced and improved delivery systems of the Agency.

Regular programs and projects such as river clean-up, tree planting, monitoring of water quality, saturation drive and compliance monitoring of industries and enforcement of environmental laws were also continuously D Rimplemented A this year. F T Acknowledgment is given to the Acting Assistant General Manager, the Chief of Staff, and all LLDA Department Managers, Division Chiefs, Officers-In-Charge, and staff who made this report possible.

2018 Annual Report 6 2017 Annual Report General Manager’s Report

Dear Friends of the LLDA,

We have been constantly growing and learning through our cooperation with other agencies and instrumentalities, and more so with the communities and stakeholders that we serve. We have recognized early on that LLDA’s success is our community’s success. With the ongoing support from our Board agency partners, LGU counterparts, the business sector, and volunteers, the LLDA is ready for the challenges and achievements ahead of our targets which we have carefully laid down in the mission and vision we have set forth in 2018.

It was a challenging year. The Fishery Zoning and Management Plan (ZOMAP) of 1999 was revisited and reviewed for more judicious and sustainable resource management as demanded for the sustainable condition of the Laguna de Bay. Such review also involved public consultations to further clarify issues and concerns that should be taken into account in the revisited plan. The LLDA also conducted the first Registration of Fishermen in Laguna de Bay in partnership with Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Council (FARMC) and local government units, with about 11,841 fishermen being part of the registration.

Facing a vast and precious natural resource, we are relentless in our effort to fulfill the regulatory function of LLDA as mandated by law in order to protect the lake from water pollution and Illegal reclamation activities. We have identified violators and they were issued with the appropriate CDOs. Notice of Violations were also served to business establishments for not complying with water effluent standards. On fishery regulation, self-reduction and clean- up activities were continuously undertaken to maintain the 7, 397 hectares of fish pen and fish cage structures existing in the lake which is within the 10% carrying capacity or 9,200 hectares’ area set forth for the lake’s fishery services.

The LLDA continues with the institutionalization and implementation of the Integrated Watershed Management Program (IWMP) and creation of sub Watershed Management Councils (SWMC) in the 24 sub-watersheds of the Laguna de Bay Region. Other than the Santa Rosa SWMC which was established in 2017 and now on the implementation of its action plan, the Pagsanjan-Lumban SWMC was also organized this year, while San Pedro and Morong-Teresa SWMC are still on the organizational development stage.

We also need the support of the private sector in order to promote programs and projects related to fishery management as well as development of the small lakes in Laguna province. We also engage the private sector in the establishment of pilot projects for floating solar panels to generate clean energy for the region. Our desire to improve the delivery of service are enshrined the Citizen Charter of LLDA.

We thank you for all your support as we view this annual report as a testimony of continued cooperationD and working R together. A F T Mabuhay ang LLDA!

LAGUNA DE BAY WATER BALANCE

In hydrology, a water balance equation can be used to describe the flow of water in and out of a system. In this case, the Laguna de Bay watershed. The general water balance equation is denoted as: P = Q + ET + ΔS,

Where: • P is precipitation or rainfall; • Q is runoff or streamflow from a basin’s discharge; • ET is evapotranspiration; and • ΔS is the change in water or moisture storage in the soil or bedrock.

The monthly water balance model used was a Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Thornthwaite water balance program, which analyzes the allocation of water among various components of the hydrologic system using a monthly accounting procedure. Inputs to the model include mean monthly temperature (T in °C), monthly total precipitation (P in mm) from the Agrometeorological station in CEAT-UPLB, and the latitude (in decimal degrees) of the location in interest (i.e. 14°). The latitude of the location is used for the computation of day length which is needed for the computation of potential evapotranspiration (PET).

Results of the water balance model show that in 2018, deficits were observed in Total runoff, Diagram of a water balance model Q yielding higher values thanD Precipitation, P R A F T in the months of January to March, which is the dry season. Under normal conditions, as shown in Table 2, Q values are lower than P since runoff

Higher runoff values than precipitation indicate that the deficit was compensated by water retained in the soil from the previous season or the rainy season.

As of this quarter, a total of 4, 097 have been registered which comprises the 78 barangays of the initial 14 cities/municipalities covered by the registration.

The primary purpose of the registration is to maintain an updated database of fishermen in Laguna Lake which is anchored to its program of protecting the rights of the people particularly those dependent on the lake for livelihood. At least 16, 000 or 75% of the total number of registered fisherfolk in the 2016 BFAR-LGU database is targeted for registration and issuance of Identification Card for this year.

As of this quarter, a total of 11, 580 fisherfolk or 72% of the total target fishermen have registered in the LLDA database which included the 28 lakeshore LGUs or 193 lakeshore barangays.

The registration of fishermen in LDB was extended from July 1 to 31, 2018 reaching the total number of 11, 814 fisherfolk in the LLDA database, approximately composed of 98% (11,556) men and 2% (258) women, respectively.
