I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. This initial environmental examination has been prepared for the rehabilitation of Bangon and Lumbacaingud South Communal Irrigation System (CIS). The Local Government Unit (LGU) of Tamparan, Lanao del Sur to be assisted by the Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project (INREMP), and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will implement the subproject. It has an estimated total cost of PhP 18,800,000.00 for 210 calendar day’s construction duration.

2. The subproject includes (i) the provision of the canal system and canal structures, (ii) the provision of the reservoir and concrete works, and (iii) the installation of the pump accessories and pump house. The proposed lined canal has a total length of 2,568 linear meters (i.e. 1,388 m for Lumbacaingud south, and 1,180 m Bangon) with a rectangular width of 0.3 m - 0.55 m, and depth of 0.35 m - 0.40 m. The service irrigable area is about 100 ha.

3. At present, the irrigation systems of Bangon and Lumbacaingud south are not functional due to their poor, dilapidated, and abandoned conditions. The Lumbacaingud south has no water supply for more than a decade. The canals have been invaded by grasses and weeds. Residents of the target subproject locations are faced with difficulty due to the absence of farming facilities. The source of the irrigation water is Lumbacaingud creek. The creek is considered as an intermittent type, which flows only during rainy seasons.

4. This subproject proposal will provide all-year-round water supply, which ensures affordability in costs and accessibility by local farmers. Provision of all-year-round water supply to the irrigation system can be ensured by providing a complementary or back-up source of water supply of the Lumbacaingod Creek by installation of deep well, as proposed in this subproject. Previously, this creek provides all-year-round continuous water supply to the irrigation canals; but, due to over utilization of water for irrigation of rice fields in the adjacent upper lowland communities, whose rice fields continuously increased in size, the water in the creek no longer flows into the proposed site. At present, the creek has been turned into an ephemeral stream (i.e. water flows only during and following rainfall event), which negatively affect the rice production of the proposed project site. To resolve this issue, this subproject proposal intends to augment the water supply for use in the irrigation of rice fields by constructing a deep well (i.e. artesian well) to pump the underground water, which is abundant in this proposed site. Based on results of water testing, the estimated discharge rate of the water pump is 8.3 liters per second or 717.12 m3/day. This water pump will be used as back- up water supply during times of dry season in which scant water or no water is flowing in the creek. To ensure sustainability of the underground water supply and ensure all-year round water supply, efficient and cost effective utilization in the use of water supply should be observed and continuous pumping of underground water should be avoided to allow time for replenishment of the underground water.

5. The proposed subproject will be traversing agricultural lands claimed by five (5) individuals. All claimants are consulted and voluntarily signed waivers during the consultation meeting. The land uses near the subproject area or along the irrigation canals and service areas are mostly rice fields and agricultural lands.

6. The Subproject has been categorized by ADB as Environment Category B and this IEE was prepared consistent with the environmental assessment requirements of ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement of 2009. The IEE, based on the screening of baseline environment and review of proposed civil works, has not identified any major environmental concerns due to the proposed irrigation system rehabilitation that all the proposed civil works are only asset preservation of existing CIS and are located within existing irrigation canal. There will only be localized temporary impacts during construction activities due to the implementation of civil

1 works that will be addressed in the detailed design and thorough implementation of the mitigation and monitoring measures specified in the environmental management plan.

7. A consultation meeting was conducted at the barangay to discuss the subproject components and scope works, and its environmental impacts and mitigating measures on 28 May 2018. The barangay expressed the acceptance and support to the subproject through a resolution endorsing the subproject. During the construction, they will closely monitor the contractor’s environmental performance and over-all EMP implementation. Semi-annual environmental monitoring reports will be submitted by LGU to ADB and such reports will be posted on ADB’s website for public disclosure.

8. A grievance redress mechanism will be established by the LGU of Tamparan Province of Lanao del Sur before the commencement of site works to ensure that complaints of the affected person and other stakeholders regarding the project’s environmental performance are promptly addressed.

9. The main potential environmental impacts of the subproject during operation are: (i) soil erosion, scouring and siltation along the irrigation canal line can be avoided due to application of concrete canal lining; (ii) volume of water for irrigation increases; and (iii) rice production increases.

10. Based on the findings of the environmental assessment it is concluded that the subproject will have minor environmental impacts during construction and operation. These impacts will be adequately managed by implementing the mitigation measures indicated in the EMP and continuous monitoring.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Project Overview

11. The INREMP, implemented by DENR with funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and Climate Change Fund (CCF), addresses the unsustainable watershed management in four (4) priority river basins: (i) the Chico Upper River Basin in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Northern Luzon; (ii) the Wahig–Inabanga River Basin on the island of Bohol in Region 7; (iii) the Lake Lanao River Basin in the province of Lanao del Sur in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao; and (iv) the Bukidnon Upper River Basin in Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental provinces in Northern Mindanao (Region 10).

12. The INREMP has four (4) outputs namely: (i) River basin and watershed management and investment plans established; (ii) Smallholder and institutional investments in conservation increased and URB productivity enhanced in the forestry, agriculture and rural sectors; (iii) River basin and watershed management capacity and related governance mechanisms strengthened; and (iv) Project management and support services delivered.

13. Under Output 2, the LGU of Tamparan has proposed the rehabilitation of Bangon and Lumbacaingud South communal irrigation system subproject.

14. One of the main components of the proposed project is the rehabilitation of a communal irrigation system, which shall provide an all-year round water supply to rice fields, hence, providing easy access and affordable irrigation water to local farmers. Although the Lumbacaingod creek, which is considered as an ephemeral creek or stream (i.e. flows only during and following rainfall event) the all-year round water supply will be ensured by pumping

2 the groundwater using pumping machinery. Based on the measurements on water discharge rates, which was conducted by the Municipal Agriculture Office, the discharge rate of water test site where the pumping station (i.e. deep well) will be installed is 8.3 liters per second, which translates into 717,120 liters/day or 717.12 m3/day or 258,163 m-3/year.

15. It is admitted, however, that it is possible that the groundwater deposits will be decreased over time due to continuous pumping or occurrence of dry season. This setback will be mitigated or avoided by making it as a policy that the water pumping activity will be done only in the absence of water in the creek, particularly during long dry period. In short, the water from the deep well will be a used only as a back-up source of water supply. Be it noted that dry season is rarely occurring in Lake Lanao watershed due to high elevation and lake effects, which drive high relative humidity and induce increased rainfall events. Furthermore, the proposed subproject site is a depository of abundant groundwater supply because it is the discharge area of the water flowing as surface run-off and subsurface flow from the surrounding mountains and from the regional groundwater table of the adjacent lake Lanao.

16. With this, the Municipality of Tamparan being an agricultural land area aligned its development plan in rehabilitating rural infrastructures that will elevate the living condition and the quality of life of the target community. One of the barangays identified is Bangon and Lumbacaingud south that has the most resident farmers. Its dire need to improve existing irrigation has been the barangay’s unanimous hope for more than a decade.

17. The constituents of Tamparan, for more than 50 years of its existence, had suffered a lot due to extreme poverty occurrence in the municipality. Its people continue to suffer at the threshold level of poverty. The municipality and its people are confronted with various interrelated and interwoven social, economic, political and cultural problems that hold the community in a vicious cycle of poverty which if not given careful attention will continue to endanger and pose mass poverty and worsening peace and order situation. The problem of the high incidence of poverty was attributed to some factors such as lack of social services and infrastructures supportive of the economic and social development of the community people.

18. The residents of the influence areas are faced with difficulty due to the absence of farming facilities. The two (2) barangays have more than 100 hectares of rice areas. The non- functionality of the communal irrigation system, only around 10-15 hectares can produce rice in two croppings a year and the rest is rain-fed. As a result, the rice farmers in Bangon and Lumbacaingud south are only capable to produce about 45 cavans or 2.250 metric tons/hectare. An insufficient functional communal irrigation system limits the capacity of farmers to improve farming profitability and income.

19. The rehabilitation of this communal irrigation system is the request of the community to help them boost the socio-economic well-being of the barangay if these facilities are provided to them. As one of the basic support facilities to achieve the goals of rehabilitating the forest and the watershed, the rehabilitation of the communal irrigation system will be very essential.

20. At present, the irrigation systems of Bangon and Lumbacaingud south are not functional due to their poor, dilapidated, and abandoned conditions. The Lumbacaingud south has no water supply for more than a decade (Figure 1). The canals have been invaded by grasses and weeds. The source of the irrigation water was Lumbacaingod creek which is found in between the proposed irrigation system rehabilitation subprojects. The creek is considered an intermittent type, which means water is only available during rainy seasons and dry during the summer.

21. The proposed subproject covers the three (3) components: (i) the provision of the canal system and canal structures, (ii) the provision of the reservoir and concrete works, and (iii) the installation of the pump accessories and pump house (Figure 2).

22. The subproject will have the provision to construct the pumping station. Suitable pumping machinery will be deemed to be a submersible electric motor pump unit. The LGU will provide the electricity to run the 3kW motor pump. The pumping unit will deliver the water discharge to the proposed reservoir and the main canal.

23. During its operation, the water will be pumped from the aquifer and temporarily stored in the main concrete reservoirs. Water from the main reservoirs will be passed through to the main canals and lateral canals for the distribution to the service areas. The subproject has a provision of the Class “A” concrete canals with a capacity of 342.1 cu m, and Class “B” concrete canals with a capacity of 385.64 cu m. The main canal will be rectangular with depth varies from 0.40 m - 0.30 m and a width varies from 0.50 m – 0. 30 m while the lateral canals (is a canal used to convey water from the source of supply to one or more farms) depth varies from 0.30 m – 0.25 m and its width varies from 0.40 m – 0.20 m.

24. The advantages of canal lining works are mainly to reduce seepage loss, increase channel capacity, and less maintenance of the canal. Canal lining is not necessary if seepage losses are very small. Canal lining can also increase the channel capacity. The lined canal surface is generally smooth and allows water to flow with high velocity compared to the unlined channel. Higher the velocity of flow greater is the capacity of the channel and hence channel capacity will increase by providing lining. In terms of maintenance, the lined canal is easier than unlined canals. Generally, there is a problem of silting in the unlined canal which removal requires huge expenditure but in case of lined canals, because of the high velocity of flow, the silt is easily carried away by the water.

25. The subproject secured a Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC-OL-R10-2019-12-00714) from the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Region 10 on 9 December 2019 (Appendix 1).

26. The LGU of Tamparan has already applied for water extraction permit to the National Water Regulatory Board (NWRB) through the office of the Regional Executive Director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Region 10 (Appendix 2).

On Direct Cost, amount allocated for it has the amount of Php 18,000,000.00. The contractor’s profit will be eight percent (8%) and twelve percent (12%) for the Overhead, Contingencies and Miscellaneous (OCM) of the direct cost respectively. Taxes will be in the fixed ratio of five percent (5%) as required by the national government. Other details are shown in Table 2.

33. Following the agreed financing mix of the subproject, 88% of the total subproject cost as presented will be covered by the project (INREMP) equivalent to PhP 16,544,000.00 and the remaining 12% will be borne by the proponent LGU of Tamparan as cash equity counterpart worth of PhP 2,256,000.00.

34. It must be noted that an item for Environmental Management Plan (EMP) implementation is not included for the subproject fund, which is mainly focused on civil works. The EMP is not included on the preliminary cost estimates but it is incorporated in the bidding document. This will ensure that the EMP will be discussed with the prospective bidders during the procurement process. In addition, EMP is also an attachment to the contract agreement between the LGU and the winning contractor.

E. Project Duration and Schedule

35. After the conduct of technical assistance provided by NPCO in September 2017, the LGU-SPMU started the preparation and completion of the SPD. The completed SPD will be submitted to NPCO for review and concurrence. When found substantial, it will be endorsed to the ADB for the request of NOL which is targeted on November 2019. During these stages, the DED is simultaneously being prepared by the LGU Engineering Unit and is expected to be final and complete on or before the time of the ADB NOL. The DED shall then be translated into a Bidding Document once the SPD is approved.

36. The procurement period will take three (3) months to comply with the ADB procurement guidelines. The subproject is expected to be awarded in December 2019. The construction will take three (3) months if with no delay or approximately one year to include anticipated rainfalls. The construction may start in April 2020 and to the end of October 2020 for the duration of 210 calendar days.

III. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

A. Project Location

37. The Islamic Municipality of Tamparan is located on the eastern part of Lanao del Sur. It is approximately one hundred twenty-four (124) degrees, 19.4 minutes, and seven (7) latitudes. It is bounded on the North by the Municipality of Taraka, on the South by Poona- Bayabao, and on the west by Lake Lanao.

38. Tamparan has a total land area of seventeen thousand (17,000) hectares more or less. Agricultural area comprises 42%, built-up area is 5%, open grassland 49%, while roads or creeks and river constitute 4%.

39. Tamparan is approximately 27 kilometers from Marawi City, the biggest center in the province. Marawi City and Tamparan are connected by road passing through the municipalities of Ditsaan-Ramain, Bubong, Buadi-Puso, Buntong, Mulondo, and Taraka. Tamparan is accessible by water transportation through the lake. The location site of this subproject is from Barangay Bangon to Barangay Lumbacaingud South which are strategically located at southern portion of Municipality of Tamparan, Lanao del Sur (Figure 8).

40. The Mayor of Tamparan issued the certification that the proposed subproject is the existing communal irrigation system (Appendix 3). However, the proposed CIS is traversing agricultural lands claimed by individuals. Although a portion of the right of way of the proposed CIS will affect a minimal section of land of five (5) claimants, no land acquisition is necessary as they have voluntarily signed waivers which had been explained and discussed during the consultation meeting.1

Secondary data of total suspended particles, particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide, which are common parameters for ambient air quality, are not available for the subproject site. Observations during site visit reveals that there is no evidence of high dust levels, odors or other air quality problems since the subproject is located along rice paddy fields.

2. Noise and vibration

42. The noise levels in the subproject areas are most likely do not exceed to the acceptable limits during all time zones. Noise levels may be attributed to the windy weather, noise comes from crickets and insects, and other animals around the project site.

3. Climate

43. Based on Modified Corona’s Classification System, the area has a Type III climate, which is characterized by no very pronounced maximum rain period, with a short dry season lasting only from one to three months, either during the period from December to February or from March to May (Agpaoa et al. 1975). These localities are only partly sheltered from the north eastern monsoon and trade winds and are open to the southwest monsoon or at least

16 to frequent cyclonic storms. The wet season is from May to June with monthly rainfall averaging about 215 mm to 361 mm. The wettest months are June and September. The average annual rainfall in Tamparan is 2,797 mm. Other details are shown in Figure 9.

44. The average monthly temperature in Tamparan ranges from 17.9 °C to 29.4 °C.

4. Topography and Soils

45. The Municipality of Tamparan together with the barangay Bangon and Lumbacaingud South lies on the plain and slightly sloppy area hence erosion is less. But due to its location along the lake, some of the areas are affected by the rise and fall of the lake water level.

46. The proposed subproject – the Rehabilitation of Bangon and Lumbacaingud South Communal irrigation system, is located within the Gata Watershed. The proposed subproject lies on the plain and slightly sloppy area. In particular, the proposed has an elevation ranging from 701 m asl– 708 m asl with an average slope of 2%. Other details are shown in Figures 10 and 11.

47. For soil types, there are only two (2) types accessible in the municipality including the barangay Dasumalong, Dilausan and Lumbacingud South, namely Rugman and Lacustrine. Rugman soil varies from loam, clay loom, and silty clay loom. It is slightly saline and due to its silty texture areas; soils are easily affected by drought. Lacustrine soil, on the other hand, has loamy, peat much and silty loam texture. It is characterized by moderate to high fertility.

5. Water Bodies

48. Being situated beside Lake Lanao, barangay Dasumalong, Dilausan and Lumbacaingud South the same with other barangays of Tamparan has abundant freshwater resources that can be the best source for potable water supply and irrigation for the households. Some residents are dependent on water pump which were constructed beside every constituents’ houses and they are using the Lake Lanao as the main source of water.

49. The majority of the residents uses the lake for bathing and washing clothes but avoid drinking the water in the lake. There are instances that some houses build or connect hose and uses water pump using the lake however in the far distance areas wherein they believe safe for drinking and can be used for washing foods.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SCREENING

73. The IEE, based on the screening of baseline environment and review of proposed civil works, has not identified any major environmental concerns due to proposed construction and rehabilitation of communal irrigation system given that all the proposed civil works are only asset preservation of the existing irrigation system and are located within existing right of way (Appendix 4). There will only be localized short-term impacts during construction activities due to implementation of civil works that will be addressed in the detailed design and through implementation of the mitigation and monitoring measures specified in the environmental management plan. These construction related impacts can be mitigated by 1) the contractors’ work practices, especially those related to the systematized demolition procedure consistent with approved standard safety requirements; 2) cooperation by the local authorities with the contractor in terms of use of public space and utilities; 3) project management’s strict enforcement of the correct construction practices and standards; 4) the incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in the IEE into the bid documents and specifications; and 5) close monitoring of the contractor’s implementation of the required mitigation measures.

74. The potential environmental impacts resulting from implementation of civil works are expected to be minor and likely short-term since the improvement works will not involve large land exploitation (Table 9). Detailed environmental mitigation measures have been prepared for all the identified impacts and presented in the environmental management plan under Chapter VIII.

These issues and measures are all captured on the Environmental Impact Mitigation Plan of Tamparan.

B. Information Disclosure

85. After study completion, the IEE documenting the mitigation measures and consultation process will be submitted to ADB for posting on their website, DENR-FMB, the Municipality of Tamparan, Lanao del Sur and the two affected Barangay offices, the Provincial Environmental and Natural Resource Officer, and DENR regional office, which will make them available to the public. More informal and vigorous level of disclosure and consultation will be done during implementation through setting up a formal grievance redress committee with a representation from the affected people. Field consultant in association with the Contractor will be responsible for managing the effective grievance redress program.

VII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

86. The Local Government Unit of Tamparan has properly conducted the consultations with the different stakeholders of the sub-project site. However, it still has to make room for possible issues, concerns, or grievances and disputes arising from the communities in relation to the project implementation. Thus, it sets up a Grievance Redress Mechanism to provide a venue for resolving grievances and disputes even at the lowest level. This will be done to resolve disputes as early and as quickly as possible before it escalates to an unmanageable level.

87. Since, the community consultations were conducted smoothly and no adverse or violent reactions have been noted, there are only minor grievances that are anticipated which may arise due to the project implementation, which are listed below:

(i) CIS related grievances – This may include complaints from communities using the irrigation under repair or construction due to temporary obstruction, which may cause delay in travel time and other inconveniences of the travelling public. (ii) Construction related grievances – Community members may demand to be hired as part of the labor force in the project construction/implementation. This may also include complaints of community members regarding noise, drainage, and etc.

88. If case grievances and disputes do arise, there are existing groups in the area which can be tapped to form part of the GRM. In fact, different active groups exist in the area such as the Barangay Development Council (BDC) with its Lupon which is mainly in-charge of settling disputes related to barangay administration.

89. The BDC then and the Punong Barangay will be the first people/group to be approached by the aggrieved party for any complaint. Both groups may then resolve the issues

34 at their level. In case, either group cannot resolve the matters at their level, they shall make proper documentation of the case and submit the same to the Municipal Development Council (MDC). The MDC is composed of the different barangay chairman of the city, and they are mainly the policy-making body especially with regard to barangay affairs. Thus, the MDC will be the body to resolve the grievances endorsed to them by the BDC. In case, the MDC is not able to resolve the disputes, it will then be endorsed to the Sangguniang Pambayan, which shall the body to finally resolve the disputes.

90. The grievance redress committee (GRC) will be chaired by the PPCO head. Members will include the following: (i) designated GRM officer of PPCO, (ii) contractor’s highest official at the site such as the Construction Manager or the Construction Superintendent; and (iii) barangay chairperson. For the quick filing of complaints, the GRC will use the attached grievance intake form (Appendix 8). The PPCO's GRM officer will be responsible for registration of grievances and communication with the aggrieved party.

91. The steps to be followed in filing complaints and the procedures for redress are the following:

(i) complainant will provide the background and file the complaint verbally or in writing to the PPCO, and the PPCO's GRM officer will assist the complainant in filling-up the grievance intake form; (ii) within 2 working days, the GRM Officer, contractor’s representative, and complainant will discuss if the complaint can be resolved without calling for a GRC meeting; (iii) within 3 days of lodging the complaint, the PPCO's GRM officer will provide the complainant a written feedback on the process, steps and timeframe for resolving the complaint. (iv) if the complaint cannot be resolved, a GRC meeting with the complainant will be called within 5 working days; (v) the GRC will have 15 working days to resolve the complaint; (vi) the complainant will receive feedback from the PPCO's GRM officer within 5 working days after the various steps of the GRM are completed; and (vii) if unsatisfied with the decision, the existence of the GRC will not impede the complainant's access to the Government's judicial, administrative remedies or through concerned government agencies (e.g., Community Environment and Natural Resources Office and Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office of DENR, Regional offices of the Environmental Management Bureau, etc.)

92. The GRC will receive, follow-up and prepare monthly reports regarding all complaints, disputes or questions received about the subproject and corresponding actions taken to resolve the issues. These reports will be included in the semi-annual environmental monitoring reports to be submitted to ADB.

VII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

93. The rehabilitation of Bangon and Lumbacaingud South Communal Irrigation System subproject will be implemented by the LGU Tamparan.

94. An environmental assessment of the project has been carried and the main potential environmental impacts of the subproject during construction are:

 During construction the possibilities of soil erosion due excavation works, scouring and siltation along irrigation canal; and

 The possibilities of soil and water contamination downstream of the working area due to usage of cements.

95. The main potential environmental impacts of the subproject during operation are: (i) soil erosion, scouring and siltation along the irrigation canal line can be avoided due to application of concrete canal lining; (ii) volume of water for irrigation increases; and (iii) rice production increases.

96. A range of mitigation and monitoring measures has been developed for the subproject, which includes the following activities: (i) the use mixing board to avoid scattering of cement, (ii) cement bags must be put in one place for disposal, and (iii) minimize excavation to avoid erosion.

97. Based on the findings of the environmental assessment it is concluded that the subproject will only have minor environmental impacts during construction and operation. These impacts will be adequately managed by implementing the mitigation measures indicated in the EMP and continuous monitoring.

Explanation of house rules, definition of environmental concerns by Engr. Sanny P. Alonto

ENGR. SANNY: Peace be with you. First, I am pleased to see your presence. This is a project funded by ADB through INREMP. Unlike the other RI proposed projects whose proposals are mostly road and water system while yours is communal irrigation. Lake Lanao is under the adminstration of national government and Region 10 s the coordinating office of INREMP project. Sad to say, ARMM has no administrative power so we have to comply the requirements. ADB made some additional requirements because of negative feedbacks from the previous projects. This is divided by two parts; Natural Resources Management (NRM) and Rural Infrastructure. RI has three components; the access road, the water system and the communal irrigation. There are irrigations that were implemented but due to the conflict in land claimants, the projects cease to continue. What matters is none of the residents should object, if ever one or two of you will disagree, inform your chairman so we can halt this activity because this public consultation is the key to project implementation.

EMCEE: Any question or clarification

IMAM SABDULLAH: Where will be the source of this project, the lake or Rugnanriver?

ENGR SANNY:Allow me to answer your querry, the design is to pump out from the lake then elevate it to the reservoir then distribute it to the canal.

MOCADE MIPANTAO: As far as residents of south lumbacaingud are concerned, we farm through rainfield.

ABDUL AZIS BATARA: All of these farmers have agreed 100% in the implementation of this irrigation.

IMAM SABDULLAH: My question is if we have to use pump for the irrigation because the electricity is not always available. So, may we request to use a solar pump instead?

ENGR SANNY: Here is my opinion, we have to join hand in hand in this project so I as an engineer has three ways; first is for us to use the electricity because our electricity has improved a lot and besides it depends on the distribution of transformer; second is to support it with generator since our primary design has to e the utilization of our electricity; and third is the use of solar system. What is important is those whose land will be affected will have to confirm with the chairman. And if I may say, this project will be inspected by the use of drone because npco cannot be here all the time. So, every month, the drone will fly to check the progress of the project. So, we just have to finish the papers for our compliance.

CAIRON SAMPACO (WOMEN SECTOR): I hope from ALLAH that this project will be benifited after it is done because our parents were farmers, so we are. That needs to be done so we can farm again at any time and not being dependent on the rain.

IMAM: Can it be possible for every area to have a pump?

ENGR. SANNY: This project will follow the design in Balindong where there will be a reservoir to hold the water then release it. Cooperation is a must from the beginning of the project to the last.

AMERHUSSEIN IBRAfrom youth sector: There is actually a potential source. By the way, who will implement?

. ENGR. SANNY: We will consider that inshaALLAH. That source was surveyed by the engineers, but it is shallow and sometimes it is dry during summer season.

IMAM: What is your opinion, will the labor come from outside the residents of the brgy.?

ENGR SANNY: NO, because if elsewhere will construct this irrigation, it might be inadequate, it must be local from this Brgy. Now I will ask all of you to raise your hands if you all sustain to this project.
