PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Study on Provincial Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation Sector Plans for Visayas and Mindanao and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA slected and dispatched the study team headed by Mr. Masatoshi Momose of NJS Consultants Co., Ltd. to the Philippines, 4 times between January 1998 and May 2000. In addition, JICA set up the advisory committee headed by Ms. Keiko Yamamoto, Development Specialist, Institute for International Cooperation, JICA between January 1998 and May 2000. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of the Philippines, and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and the prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of this project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the Philippines for their close cooperation extended to the Team. August 2000 Kimio Fujita President Japan International Cooperation Agency August 2000 Mr. Kimio Fujita President Japan International Cooperation Agency Japan Dear Mr. Fujita, Letter of Transmittal We are pleased to submit herewith the Final Report of the Study on Provincial Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation Sector Plan in the Republic of the Philippines. The Study was completed through the discussions with the officials of the Government of the Philippines and the field investigation during four visits from January 1998 to May 2000. The Report was arranged as Summary Report which succinctly describes the study and recommendations for the sector develoment of provincial water supply, sewerage and sanitation for a total of twenty-one (21) provinces in Visayas and Mindanao areas. The Report covers not only the long-term and medium term development plans on water supply, sewerage and sanitation sector, but also institutional, operation and financial strengthening plan for the local governments. In view of the urgency of water supply and sanitation improvement as well as the need for socio- economic development in the study provinces, we hope that the said plans will be realized in early stage. We wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to your Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We also would like to show our appreciation to the officials of the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the JICA Philippine Office, and the Embassy of Japan in the Republic of the Philippines for their kind cooperation and assistance throughout our field survey. Very truly yours, Masatoshi Momose Team Leader for the Study on Provincial Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation Sector Plan in the Republic of the Philippines EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Provincial Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation Sector Plans (PW4SPs) for twenty-one (21) prov- inces in the Visayas and Mindanao area were prepared by respective Provincial Sector Planning Teams (PSPTs) with the technical assistance of Japan International Cooperation Agency. The PW4SP will be the basis for the execution of the sector development in the province. The PW4SP covers Long-Term Development Plan (target year: 2010) and the Medium-Term Invest- ment Program (five year investment plan) to achieve the provincial targets of water supply, sewerage and sanitation sector. The plan includes the arrangements and logistics for the implementation and identification of needs for institutional strengthening. The primary bases of the PW4SP are national sector policies and strategies. Current sector policies and strategies are: - Self-reliance and local community management of services; - An integrated approach to water, sanitation and hygiene education: - Cost recovery of capital and O & M cost; and - An integrated water resources strategy. (1) Study area: The provinces are Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Surigao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, Davao del Norte, South Cotabato, Sarangani, North- ern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo and Negros Occidental. Agricultutre is the major economic activity common to these provinces. In the relevant secotr, the high incidence of water-related diseases is prevalent indicating health problems. A lower sector service coverage in the rural area compared with urban area is a general finding. (2) Sector Services and Arrangements: The current service coverage of each sub-sector is estimated as percentages of served population/households/utilities against the total number. Problem areas by different service level are identified covering water supply and sanitation sector to come up with fu- ture arrangenments. Based on the current analyses and the provincial targets established by sub-sector, phased requirements for the sector are developed. Further, financial arrangements availing Internal Revenue Allotment are discussed showing financial shortfall and alternative counter measures to ad- dress this shortfall are defined. These study results are summarized in the attached tables. Improve- ments required for the institutional and monitoring activities are also major parts of the plan. -i- INTRODUCTION 1. Background of the Study The Government of the Philippines (GOP) has, over the last decade, with the assistance from external donors, made considerable progress in developing the water supply and sanitation sector throughout the country. Nevertheless, infrastructure service delivery in this sector as of now is insufficient to keep pace with the demand. As of 1995, in urban areas outside Metro manila, about 61% of the populace had access to safe water supply services, while in rural areas, about 70% was adequately served. Private sanitary toilets were available to about 66% of households in urban areas nationwide. For sewerage, only portions of the cities of Metro Manila, Cebu and Baguio have sewerage systems. About 55% of the households practiced individual refuse disposal, mostly dumping, while the remaining 45% relied on municipal refuse collection and disposal services. The policies and strategies on the sector are generally guided by the “Updated Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP: 1996-1998) in 1996” and the recently published “Philippine National Development Plan (PNDP: 1999-2025)”. Activities in the sector have been directly guided by the “Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation Master Plan of the Philippines 1988-2000” since its issuance in 1988. The National Sector Master Plan (NSMP) sets ambitious targets to reach large segments of the population and to redress the imbalances between rural and urban areas. Meanwhile, the Updated MTPDP revised the targets for water supply services based on updated conditions in 1996. The PNDP further modified the targets this year to suit current sector status. Development in the sector had previously been directed to a high degree by central government agencies. However, the GOP has been instituting devolution and full decentralization of responsibilities for implementation of infrastructure projects to Local Government Units (LGUs), in line with the Local Government Code of 1991. In connection with the above, the Provincial Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation Sector Plan (PW4SP) for twenty one (21) provinces in Visayas and Mindanao areas were prepared by the Provincial Sector Planning Team (PSPT) with the technical assistance from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The PW4SPs will be the basis for execution of sector development with financial assistance from foreign donors and in use of LGU’s budget. 1 2. Objectives of the Study The main objectives of the PW4SP are to establish the Long-Term Development Plan (target year: 2010; Phase II) and the Medium-Term Investment Program (5 year investment plan; Phase I) to achieve the provincial coverage targets of water supply and sanitation sector. The plan includes the arrangements and logistics for the implementation and identification of needs for institutional strengthening. The study is also designed to strengthen the LGUs

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

Her municipality became part of Zuellig Family Foundation’s prototype municipalities—under Cohort 3—in 2011. In this town, among the health programs introduced to ensure better health is the use of the Wireless Access for Health (WAH) technology. With this, pregnancy cases like Lilybelle’s are tracked and monitored regularly by municipal health personnel. In the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, health is not devolved to the local government units (LGUs) unlike in the rest of the country. Despite the difference, ZFF has seen its Health Change Model remaining effective in most of its ARMM LGUs. In Panglima Sugala, there has been no maternal death since 2012. Leadership changed when then municipal mayor Nurbert Sahali was elected provincial governor in 2013.

  • 4. Resources, Security and Livelihood
    Violent Conflicts and Displacement in Central Mindanao 4. RESOURCES, SECURITY AND LIVELIHOOD This section examines households’ perceptions of their surrounding environment (e.g. security). It looks at their resources or capital (social, natural, economic) available to households, as well as how those resources were being used to shape livelihood strategies and livelihood outcomes such as food security. The results give insights into the complex interaction between, on the one hand, displacement and settlement options, and, on the other hand, access to basic needs, services and livelihood strategies. Services and Social Relations Access to Services Across the study strata, about one-third of the households ranked their access to services negatively, including access to education (22%), access to (35%) and quality of (32%) health care, and access to roads (37%). Respondents in Maguindanao ranked on average all services more negatively than any other strata. Disaggregated by settlement status, respondents who were displaced at the time of the survey were more likely to rank services negatively compared to others, with the exception of access to roads. Nearly the same percentage of households who were displaced at the time of survey and those returned home found the road to be bad of very bad (47% and 55%, respectively). Figure 11: Ranking of services (% bad - very bad) Two-thirds (67%) of the sampled households had children aged 6-12 years, and among them nearly all had children enrolled in primary school (97%). However, 36 percent of the households reported that their school-enrolled children missed school for at least a week within the 6 months prior to the survey.
