FOREWORD

The development and utilization of the country's water resources has evolved over a long period in a setting of abundant natural resources and practically without the benefit of a broad planning framework considering available resource supply and existing regional needs. With fixed water resources to serve the changing growth patterns and the increased use of water among a rapidly expanding population, the past trend of development should now be re-oriented to a broader perspective, if we are to avoid long-run water problems in the future.

Against this backdrop, the National Water Resources Council was created under Pres­ idential Decree 424 to carry out the policy of the government in encouraging the conserv­ ation, development and optimum utilization of water and related land resources on a comprehensive and coordinated basis in order to meet the present and future water needs of the country.

In pursuing its task, the Council undertakes comprehensive river basin and regional framework studies which serve as guides to detailed planning of water resources develop­ ment by concerned line agencies and help determine a reasonable starting point together with the factors and linkages which will have to be considered to make reasonably correct and meaningful decisions. The framework plan on Tagum-Libuganon Basins forms a part of the council's effort to establish the water and related land resources relationship on a basinwide approach for the framework study of Water Resource Region XI.

xvi CHAPTER I

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. General Characteristics

The Tagum-Libuganon Basins is one of the three major basin groups in Water Resource Region XI. They occupy the eastern portion of the Mindanao Island with area of 7 ,901 square kilometers.

In 1975, the planning area had a population of about 1 million representing 44 percent of the region's population. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amounted to 'P4,979 million and a per capita GDP of about :P4,900.

Computations for water requirement projections show that demand will increase from 1,730 million cubic meters (MCM) in 1980 to 2,061.96 MCM by year 2000. Marked increases in water demand are expected from the agricultural, industrial and domestic sectors. As expected, water for agricultural purposes wil I account for 9 5 per cent of the total water requirements by year 2000.

Changes in the economic structure of the basin are expected from the industrial and service sectors which will realize higher growth rates than the agricultural sector in the 25-year period. Thus, the agricultural share of the basins' gross value-added (GVA) will drop from 43 per cent in 1975 to 15 per cent in year 2000 while the industrial GV A contribution will move from 15 per cent to 65 per cent during the same period. On the other hand, the service sector will register a decrease from 86 per cent to 17 per cent.

The basins' population is forecasted to increase at an annual growth rate of 5 per cent from 1 million in 1975 to 2.8 million in year 2000. Average family income in the basin was P7 ,893 while per capita income average was :Pl ,275 i11 1975.

Despite some achievements in the economic and social spheres, the basin con­ tinues to face urgent problems and challenges. A relatively large segment of the popula­ tion continues to experience inadequate education, health, power and water supply facilities and shortages in some food items. Other problems that confront the basin are the worsening distribution of family incomes and the incidence of water-borne diseases particularly gastro-enteritis. The basin has important resources with great production potentials in which the development of these can be viewed more as an investment rather than as a final con­ sumption. However, only rice and corn showed surpluses. The presence of large labor force could, likewise, be tapped to meet the man­ power requirement of the basin. Most of its mineral resources, which at present remain underdeveloped could be harnessed to enhance the economic development in the area. There are areas open for expansion for irrigation purposes. Their land resources are ex­ tensive and can be utilized for productive purposes. (Refer to Table 1-1 for the summary; of the basin's characteristics).

B. Framework of Development

B .1 Water Resources

The requirement for water is primarily dictated by the irrigation of agricul­ tural land, the direct use of domestic, municipal, industrial and other econ­ omic activities, the requirements of water-based sectors like fisheries and navi­ gation and the special requirements of hydro-power, recreation and wildlife.

3 Through the proper utilization of water, the basin, as a whole, can fulfill the total annual water requirement. However, it is also necessary to pursue water impounding and water distribution projects to assure a year-round supply of water. These projects will store water during the months of deficient flows. There are no major flood-prone municipalities in the basin. Flood problems are minor and localized. At present, there are 6 existing river control projects in the area. These consist of dikes/levees, revetments, cut-off channels/diversion channels and spur dikes.

B .2 Land Resources The basin has to consider agricultural area expansion either to intensify the surplus production of rice and corn or to utilize the available areas to attain sclf­ sufficiency in most of the other food items. Preliminary studies of optimal land use for the basin show that the present resources arc underutilized. This can be proven by the land capability studies where for instance, total land area suitable for rice cultivation amounted to 724 square kilometers while actual rice-pro­ ducing areas totalled to 355 square kilometers. It seems that the basin is not fully utilizing the area of cultivation for diversified crops {733 sq. km.) as against its land capability (996 sq. km.). Forest resources of the basin are not so extensive. They account for 48 per cent of the total land area of the basin. Extreme care must be taken in developing these resources to avoid harmful ecological consequences, to protect its water­ sheds and to prevent flooding and erosion problems (Figure 1-B-1 ).

B .3 Socio-Economic

The basins' future development efforts will have to be decisively directed towards a more equitable distribution of the benefits of economic progress. Development will engage the initiative and resources of the people as requi­ sites for success. As both the sources and objects of development, the people will be provided with adequate economic opportunities and social amenities in Iife to attain a dignified existence. However, efforts to increase family income will have to be based on present income sources, notably farming and land-based activities. Higher level of cropping techniques through the provision, enhancement and im­ proved delivery of essential agricultural inputs such as credit, extension work, marketing facilities and infrastructure (particularly irrigation and feed er roads among others) will have direct income increase effects.

To promote the physical aspects of human development, education, man­ power development and health programs should be expanded and urgraded.

The educational and training opportunities should be democratized to allow more people to participate productively in the development process. Health facilities should be accessible to the population and services must be adequate to provide the health needs.

4 B .4 Environmental Considerations

The attainment of development should consider the careful management of the environment. Natural vegetation, wildlife, feeding and habitat areas and archaeological sites have to be considered particularly with the proposed im­ pounding projects. These activities should be spatially located in conformity with the environmental standards for air, water and land. The river system within the basin still exhibits normal conditions which could sustain aquatic life and water impounding projects which will have good effects for fresh water aquaculture development. These conditions can contribute in maintaining the fish production in the basin. The rapid expansion of human settlements and accelerated development activities in agriculture, mining and forestry and manufacturing usually result in a number of environmental problems. These problems are soil erosion, floods and others which, although, to a small degree, exist in the basin. Special measures are required to ensure that the higher economic growth envisioned in the succeeding years will not impair the environment. Special consideration must be given to areas susceptible to erosion and flooding.

C. Sectoral Recommendations

C.1 Water Supply and Sewerage The availability of domestic water supply and the existence of sewerage and water disposal facilities are two of the most important indicators of household and community welfare. For areas of high urban density and complexity, a cen­ tralized water supply and sewerage system is practically a must so as to attain a desirable level of health, sanitation and well-being.

The NWRC, through the Rural Water Works Development Corporation, has defined three levels of service. The first two refer to point sources with limited service coverage and the third refers to large systems with extensive distribution networks covering urban communities of at least 20,000 inhabitants. The projected increase in population to year 2000, combined with the in­ creasing standard in per capita consumption as the level of urbanization and dev­ elopment rises, suggests that deliberate shifts should be made from Level I to Levels 11 and 111 water supply services. Level 111 systems will have to be cons­ tructed to serve new urban areas as soon as they reach the scale requirement of the service, particularly the municipalities of Davao City and Tagum. With regard to sewerage and waste disposal facilities, centralized systems may not be needed in the area for sometime. Instead, non-cer.tralized but modern sewerage facilities particularly the use of flush-type toilets should be promoted. These would, of course, depend on abundant water supply regardless of the level of service. To promote higher standards of household sanitation, water is still the basic need and its availability to adequately supply urban and rural households should be planned along the shortest time frame feasible.

5 C.2 Irrigation The National Irrigation Administration statistics for 1975 indicate a combined potential service area of 24,800 hectares for all types of existing irrigation systems. Around 27 per cent of this area is served by communal i~riga­ tion systems and 73 per cent by national irrigation systems. There are no private irrigation systems present. While statistics are not immediately available, the apparent problem in the field is the low ratio of areas actually served to the targeted potential service areas. Causes that have been identified by NIA include, among others, the decreas­ ing supply of water in national structure and canalization, poor maintenance and operation of the system and poor management of irrigation water on the part of the farmers. The close relationship between the infrastructural, management and socio­ economic aspects of the problem requires an integrated approach that should include the following major components: ( 1) rehabilitation and improvement of existing irrigation systems; (2) improvement and expansion of water distribution facilities including turn-outs, main canals and laterals; (3) improvement of organ­ ization for planning, maintenance and operation of systems; ( 4) extension services to farmers in water management; (5) improvement of collection of water rates and ( 6) strengthening of the watershed conservation program to maintain reliable water supply levels in dams and reservoirs during low-flow periods. The completion of the NIA's on-going and proposed irrigation projects would greatly expand the irrigated areas and increase substantially the agricultural production, hence, the income of the rural households. The development of these projects should be accompanied by proper management training and other instit­ utional measures to maximize project efficiency. C.3 Flood Control

The Bureau of Public Works {now the Ministry of Public Works and High­ ways), the agency in charge of the Flood Control Program of the government has no estimate of flood damage in the basin. There are 6 existing flood control measures in the area.

C.4 Land Use Management

The protection of forest areas from indisciminate developmental activities is the main concern of the basin to preserve these areas for present and future gener­ ations. Also, a considerable focus must be placed on watersheds and forest re­ serves which serve special functions for the ecological life of the basin.

, . . Likewise,. preventive measures have to be undertaken against soil erosion within the basin. Proper rangeland management and planting of permanent crops to steep areas are some of the steps to mitigate and prevent the soil erosion pro­ blem of the area.

Land capability studies indicate that agricultural land is both underutilized and misused. Transformation of large tracts of grass and shrublands can provide

6 additional areas for other uses. This expansion should be focused on the produc­ tion of its deficit flood items and/or on the increased production levels of its meat supply. C.5 Power The estimated number of households with electric power connection in 1980 was almost 100 per cent of the total basin households. Considering the present level of development of the basin and the projected population growth for the next 20 years, it is estimated that by 1990 and 2000, the service shall reach almost 100 per cent of the total households. The National Power Corporation and the National Electrification Adminis­ tration are engaged in power development in Mindanao and will utilize different sources of energy namely: hydro, geothermal and diesel power. These plants are located in the Agus River Complex, lligan Bay, Davao City, Pulangi River and Aplaya. The success of the time table to fill the power requirement for year 2000 shall depend on the program of implementation of the Mindanao Grid of the NPC, and the general power market. In this sense, the planning and implementation have to be continually integrated with the other sectoral plans for the development of the basin. C.6 Fisheries The fishing area of the Tagum-Libuganon Basins covers an approximate area of 2,795 hectares. Commercial fishing ranks first among the three sources of fish production in the basin, The role that the basin is expected to play in the future is concerned with self-sufficiency in its fish requirements. C.7 Transportation The insular characteristic of the Tagum-Libuganon Basins points to the strong need for a complementation of land, water and air transport. At present, the basin is served by an a!ternate international airport in Davao City. The Port of Davao handles the shipping activities of the basin. A total of 4,406.822 kilometers of national, provincial, municipal, city and barangay roads connect the major set­ tlements within the basin. The improvement of airport and port facilities is an important support to the development of the basins' agricultural, fishery and other exports to the con­ sumption centers of the country. Likewise, the improvements will allow the basin to be supplied of the products they are deficient in. The focus of concern for an accelerated basin development should be the in­ crease in rural roads through the construction of more farm-to-market roads.

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

The growing importance of water resources as a key sector in the national dev­ elopment effort has dictated the need for a nationwide water resource development framework plan that is both integrated and should be integrable into the national and regional development programs of the country. This is one of the basic purposes for which the National Water Resources Council was created by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 424. To achieve its mandated objectives, the Council continually evolves planning approaches and conducts studies relevant to the preparation of water resource develop­ ment µlans. The initial step in the planning process adopted by the Council is the pre­ paration of framework plans for the country's twelve water resource regions. Each regional plan consists of the integration of the multi-sectoral development framework of the major basins, sub-basins or contiguous basin areas of the region. The basin then or in some instances important sub-basins or an integrated group of minor basins, is the adopted unit of analysis and planning of the water needs and potentials of the region. Water Resource Region XI consists of the Davao Oriental, South Cotabato and Tagum-Libuganon Basins.

As a planning area, the Tagum-Libuganon 1 Basins cover the southeastern part of Mindanao Island with a total drainage area of 7,901 square kilometers. B. Objective of the Study The study hopes to establish a sufficient analytical framework on which to base concrete recommendations of the development of the basin area including, where necessary, measures to improve the data base for subsequent planning efforts for basin­ wide water resource development.

C. Scope of the Study As a long-range development planning exercise, this study covers the following areas of analysis.

1. Existing situation and trends in water resources and related developments. 2. Potentials in terms of land and water resources. 3. Projection of demand for water and related resources up to year 2000. 4. Water supply projections and evaluation of capacity to meet future demands. 5. Identification and profiling of water resource development projects. 6. Environmental and social impact assessments of future development. 7. Determination of development thrust of sectors with high potentials. 8. Determination of areas for improvement in basic data.

9 CHAPTER Ill

OBJECTIVES OF DEVELOPMENT

A. Regional Development Objectives and Strategies The development of water resources is basically intended to support the overall strategies for achieving the regional development objectives. The Five-and Ten-Year Development Plan of Southern Mindanao (Regional XI) prepared by the National Economic Development Authority and adopted by the Regional Development Council spells out the objectives of development for the next ten years which may, for the purposes of this study, represent the long-range objectives up to year 2000. The objectives include the following: 1. Optimize the food production capability. 2. Develop agri-based, labor-intensive and export-oriented industries. 3. Provide adequate infrastructure/utilities support. 4. Develop manpower to meet sector needs. 5. Promote a participatory delivery system of health and social services. 6. Participate actively in the regional development efforts. 7. Preserve the region's ecological balance. To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the NED A plan, likewise, outlines broad development strategies to which the following seem vital: 1. Provide facilities to the secondary service centers, in order to meet Davao City's capacity to serve the region. 2. Broaden the industrial base by providing the necessary growth stimulant in order to complement the agricultural activities. 3. Adopt an outward-looking strategy for the producing sectors. 4. Upgrade regional manpower skills which will be directed towards the un­ employed, underemployed and the out-of-school youth. 5. Strengthen local institutions in terms of expertise, budget, and decision­ making capabilities to insure a universal participation policy in development programs. B. Development Objectives of the Basin

As a significant areal component of Water Reso·• .. t;e Region XI, the development of the Tagum-Libuganon Basins shall be geared to the pursuit of the following objectives: 1. To enhance the surplus production of some of its agricultural products and the achievement of self-sufficiency in food and other basic needs for the basins' population; 2. To increase per capita and family income and reduce income inequality by developing to the fullest extent the basins' agricultural, industrial and human resource potentials;

11 3. To raise the level of social services and facilities particularly those related to health and nutrition, education and domestic water supply. 4. To conserve the basins' watershed and extensive forest resources; 5. To protect its archaeological sites and to develop significant recrea­ tional areas; and, 6. To maximize the utilization of the basins' water and land resources.

12 CHAPTER IV

AREA PROFILE

A. Location and Description The Tagum-Libuganon Basins lie at the northern part of Water Resource Region XI. It is bounded on the west by the North Cotabato, on the east by Davao Oriental, on the north by Agusan del Sur and on the south by the .

Eight sub-basins, namely Matibo (172 sq. km.), Hija (700 sq. km.), Tuganay (666 sq. km.), Davao ( 1,623 sq. km), and Tagulaya-Sibulan ( 158 sq. km) plus watersheds amounting to 674 sq. km. make up the 4,837 square kilometer minor basin area of Tagum-Libuganon 8 as ins. Influence area totals to 7 ,901 square kilometers. The topography of the basin area is characterized by limited lowlands, Hilly areas that gradually rise into mountains border the coastal plains. The Tagum-Libu­ ganon basin proper is drained by many creeks and rivers. Libuganon River is its major water artery with Tagum river as its main tributary. B. Archaeological, Historical and Cultural Characteristics Davao province or Davao del Norte in terms of number of municipalities, makes up most of this planning area. Majority of its population is Christian, though several indigenous tribes inhabit the area. These are the Calagones, Tabacaoles, Aetas, Samalese, B agobos, and the Mandayas. About 70 per cent of the basin population speak Cebuano and 88 per cent prac­ tice Roman Catholicism. C. Settlement System Major settlements in the Tagum-Libuganon Basins are generally situated near or along the coast. The most densely populated municipality is Davao City. About 72 per cent of the basin population reside in the rural areas. As of 1980, there are 4,407 kilometers of road length in the basins. Of this, 14 per cent comprise national roads, 28 per cent provincial roads, 11 per cent municipal roads, 6 per cent city roads and 41 per cent barangay roads. The only airport found in the basin is located in Sasa, Davao City, and is classified as an alternate International Airport. The only existing port is the port of Davao.

D. Climate D .1 Climate Type The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Service Adminis­ traction ( PAGASA) employs three climate classification system namely: Coronas, Hernandez, and Koppen. The Coronas classification gives emphasis on the sea­ sonal type; the Hernandez on the number of wet and dry months; and the Kop­ pen on the temperature range and the amount of rainfall in the driest month.

16 The eastern half of the basin falls under the second climate type (Coronas) and the western half side under the fourth type. The second type is characterized by an absence of a dry season and a pronounced maximum rainfall occurring from November to January while the fourth type, by an evenly distributed rainfall. A similar division occurs under the Hernandez classification. The eastern half section is wet (Type A) while the western half side is humid (type B ). Under the Koppen scheme, the entire basin falls under the tropical wet climate (AF climate). A map of the basin with the areas under the different types of climatic con­ ditions is shown in Figure IV-D-1. The different climatic classification systems =!re described in Appendix A. D .2 Temperature and Humidity Aside from other climatic considerations the synoptic station of PAGASA in Davao City provides information on atmospheric temperature and relative humid­ ity. Available data covering a period of 32 years {1949-1980) are found in Ap­ pendix A. Data indicate that monthly average temperature ranges from a minimum of 22°c to a maximum of 33°C. The mean monthly temperature, on the other hand, does not vary considerably as values fluctuated from 26°C to 28°C. Tem­ perature is fairly uniform throughout the year as can be seen from Figure A-1 (Appendix A), which plots the monthly minimum, mean and maximum values respectively. The mean monthly relative humidity is, likewise, plotted on Figure A-2. Values range from 78% to 82% with the months of March and April experiencing relatively low humidity of 78% while the rest of the year averages 81 %.

A. Water Resources

The development of a region's water resources requires the scientific and orderly management of its resources consistent with the principles of optimum utilization, conservation and protection to meet present and future needs. Pr

A.1 Rainfall In the Tagum-Libuganon Basins, rainfall observation by PAGASA started in 1961. There are four stations presently operating within the area situated in Davao City and 8ago Oshiro in Oavao del Sur, and in Mabini and Tagum in Davao del Norte. Their coo rd in ates as well as periods of record are listed in Table V-A-1 while their approximate points locations are shown in Figure V-A-1.

19 The minimum, mean, and maximum monthly rainfall values for the four ( 4) stations are plotted in Figures V-A-2 to V-A-5 and tabulated in Appendix A. Rainfall in the basin is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year. 8 y applying the reciprocal distance method of interpolation to the mean annual data of the rainfall stations in and adjacent to the basins, the spatial variation of the annual rainfall was obtained. Figure V-A-6 exhibits the rainfall map of the basin. Based on the mapped values, the mean annual basin rainfall is 2,476 millimeters. PAGASA prepared the rainfall depth-frequency-duration analysis ( 5, 15, and 30 minutes and 1, 6, ·12, and 24 hours) using Gumbel's method on rainfall records of Davao City. The illustrations and the summary arc given in Figure V-A-7 and in Appendix A, respectively.

A.2 Surface Runoff A.2.1 data availability The former Bureau of Public Works has established only four streamflow gaging stations in the basin, one of which had been abandoned in 1969. This abandoned station, though, (at Tagum River in Pagsabangan, Tagum, Davao del Norte) had a long and fairly good record and was, therefore, included in the analysis of runoff. The other stations are located in the Hijo, Matina and Sibulan Rivers. The coordinates and periods of record of these stations are given in Table V-A-2 and their approximate point locations are shown in Figure V-A-1.

20 The mean monthly and annual runoff values, as well as, the other statistical parameters are contained in Appendix A.

A.2.2. surface water availability The mean annual runoff volumes observed at the gaging stations were con­ verted to equivalent depths of runoff. These runoff depths served as inputs in plotting the spatial variation of the basins' runoff using the reciprocal distance method of interpolation. The basin has a mean annual runoff of about 1,375 millimeters or approximately 10,862 million cubic meters ( MCM) with the Tagum-Libuganon, Davao and Hija River Basins contributing 4,212 MCM, 2,231 MCM and 962 MCM respectively. Figure V-A-8 shows the areal variation of the basins' annual runoff.

A.2.3 dependability analysis The daily streamflow records of the gaging stations in and around the basin was subjected to flow duration analysis. Flow duration curves {Figure V-A-9) plot the percentage of time a certain flow is equalled or exceeded. Dependable streamflow can be derived from these curves by reading off values for the parti­ cular percentage of time, say 80 per cent, and applying the reciprocal distance method of interpolation to the values read to obtain the average vaiue for the basin. Figure V-A-10 presents the spatial variation of the basins' 80 per cent dependable streamflow indicating an average flow of 15.42 MCM/day. Eighty ( 80) per cent dependability is adopted by NWRC as the limit in its granting of water rights.

A.2.4 flood and minimum flow frequency analysis The annual peak discharges (details shown in Appendix A) of the Hija, Tagum, Matina, and Sibulan rivers were subjected to frequency analysis assum­ ing a Log Pearson Type 111 D istribution.11 The analysis was based on the length and acceptability of available streamflow records. The results of the flood frequency analysis are shown in Table V-A-3. The computed frequency curves together with the 5 per cent and 95 per cent confi­ dence curves as well as the observed annual peak flows are drawn in Figures V-A-11 to V-A-14. The number of recorded peak flows at the various gaging stations ranges from seven ( 7) to eighteen ( 18) years. Sibulan and Tagum Rivers with eleven and eighteen years of record, respectively, manifest higher reliability of flood estimates. This is shown by the narrower range of probable values in the estimated peaks defined by the 90 per cent confidence band. The annual minimum flows of the rivers were, likewise, subjected to fre­ quency analysis assuming a Type 111 Extremal Distribution (refer to Appendix A for details). Table V-A-4 shows the results of the minimum frequency analysis while Figures V-A-15 to V-A-18 plot the computed values.

A.2.5 flood contra I The Tagum-Libuganon Basins has no major flood prone area. However, the southern tip of the basin area is subjected to occasional flooding brought about by inundation on limited scale and bank scourging. It covers approximately 6.0 sq. kms. Established within the basin are river control projects that will prevent destruction of properties and disruption of economic activities. So far, there are six ( 6) river control projects situated in Davao del Sur and Davao del Norte. A list of the existing flood damage protection measures is provided in Table A-16 (Appendix A). Structures constructed consist of dikes/levees, revetments, cut­ off-channels/diversion channels and spur dikes.

Pr1iod 01 R,·cord 11 Yr" 35 there had been no efficient system of registering groundwater data. It was just re­ cently that the National Water Resources Council ( NWRC) h~s endeavored to consolidate all water resource developments ancJ the corresponding data through­ out the country. Well drillers and well owners are require~ to submit well-l_og data from their wells prior to their application of water permits. However, despite NWRC's rigid campaign on the registration of water users, the resp.onse from the private sector has been far from sufficient. Thus, only the qua.nt1ty of ground­ water utilization by the government sector can somehow be described. In the Tagum-Libuganon Basins, the former Bureau of Public Works has developed 406 wells for domestic supply purposes.

A.3.2 groundwater assessment The macro-picture of the groundwater resources of the basin is shown in a cyclogram map describing the borehole data, the specific capacity, static water level, etc., and is presented in Figure V-A-19. Specific yields of five per cent (5%) for permeable layers and three per cent (3%) for semi-permeable layers of aquifer system were assumed. As to the estimated inflow to the groundwater reservoir system, it is assumed that ten per cent ( 10%) of the average annual rainfall penetrates to the bearing formation. The averages of the groundwater parameters of the different municipalities within the Tagum-Libuganon Basins is presented on Table V-A-5. The average drilling depth is about 38 meters with an average specific capacity of 0.74 liters per second per meter ( 1 ps/m). Of the 406 wells considered, average static water level is approximately 11.54 meters below the ground surface ( mbgs) with 178 wells having a static water level of less than or equal to 6 mbgs. Furthermore, the groundwater mining picture for the entire influence area depicting the relationship of the parameters with the life of the aquifer system is exhibited in Figure V-A-20. Total groundwater storage is estimated at 5,812 MCM with an inflow to the groundwater reservoir system of 859 MCM/year. Recommended safe yield level is also set at 859 MCM/year. If a 50-year ground­ water mining is allowed, a total of 976 MCM/year is available for the area. Groundwater mining pictures of the contributing basins are in Appendix A.

A.4 Sedimentation and Water Quality No sedimentation studies can be performed since no data are available for the basins. Also, water quality or surface and ground water cannot be determined due to the absence of data.

A.5 Evapotranspiration

. There is no evaporation station operating within the basins. A synoptic station however, located in Davao City, collects climatic data for the area. Using t~mp.erature data. from the said station, average monthly and annual evapotrans­ p1rat1on were est1m.ated ~o.r a thirty-year period. Estimates were made using the Blaney Method which ut1l1zes temperature data in computing consumptive use or evapotranspiration.

B .1 Topography and Drainage Located in the eastern portion of the island of Mindanao, the Tagum-Libu­ ganon Basins lie between the provinces of Davao del Norte, Davao Oriental and Bukidnon. Bounded on the north by Agusan del Sur and by the Davao Gulf on the south, they encompass the western side of Davao del Sur. With 8 minor and one major river basin, they measure a total of 7 ,901 square kilometers. Mt. Ampaoid and Mt. Olagusan, both situated on the north are the major landforms of the area. Lowlands are very limited. The coastal plains are bordered mostly by hilly areas that gradually rise into mountains. Although the entire area of Davao is exceedingly mountainous, the Tagum­ Libuganon Basins proper is somewhat level and drained by many creeks and rivers. Libuganon River is its major water artery with Tagum river as its main tributary. Originating from the eastern slope of Mt. Ampaoid, they flow south­ easterly and discharge into Davao Gulf.

B.2 Slope Complex Five general slope classifications are used to define the total cultivable land areas which can be improved through proper irrigation systems and soil conserva-

40 tion practices. The table below shows the general slope categories from nearly level areas to steeply sloping terrain. Their corresponding areas and percentages to the total basins' area are also shown.

Table V-8-1 SLOPE CATEGORIES, CHARACTERISTICS, AND AREA COVERAGE Tagum-Libuganon Basins

Slope Area Percentage Category Description (Sq. Km.) (%) A Includes all level to nearly level lands with slope ranging from 0 to 3 per cent. Areas belonging to this category are the most suitable for irrigation because of their flat terrain. Depending on soil physical condition, 3 per cent slope is about the maximum slope if the land is to be used for lowland rice production. 3,816.0 48.0 B Consists of gently sloping and gently un­ dulating lands with slope ranging from 3 to 8 per cent. Gently sloping lands are suitable for irrigation but require slight terrain modi­ fication in terms of contouring or terracing. Depending on soil and climatic conditions in the area, 8 per cent is about the maximum slope for upland crop production that will require more complex and expensive soil conservation practices. 1,122.0 14.0 c Consists of moderately sloping and moder­ ately undulating lands with slopes ranging from 8 to 15 per cent. Due to terrain restric­ tion, irrigatjon for purposes of lowland rice production will not be feasible. Intensive soil conservation measures are necessary to keep the soil in place when necessary. 1,556.0 20.0 D Includes steeply sloping, rolling and undulat­ ing lands between 15 to 25 per cent. On these lands cultivated crops cannot be pro­ duced continuously over an extended period of time. Tree crops, however, can be grown. 1,146.0 15.0 E Includes those that are steeply sloping to hilly and mountainous terrain. It includes all lands with a slope greater than 25 per cent. This slope category is not suited to any type of cultivated crops and should be left as forest cover. 261.0 3.0 TOTAL 7,901.0 100.0% 41 126"oo'

42 B .3 Geology

The rugged western and eastern mountain ranges are mainly exposed to lava flows of impervious tuffaceous mudstone and graywacke of metamorphic origin. Recent alluvium deposits of river and coastal deposits and other marine carbonates are found mostly in the level areas in the central part, making them some of the best productive agricultural lands. The southern and eastern sides are conformably overlain by sedimentary for­ mations, also of hornblende andesite, lava agglomerate and ash flows and volcanic ash.

The soil groupings are primarily based on the profile, parent rocks, texture, relief and drainage characteristics of the soil. The table below shows the characteristics and distribution of the different soil classifications. Areal extent is presented in Figure V-B-3.

B .6 Existing Land Use A notably mountainous region, the western section is consistently covered by forests, which is almost 50 per cent of the basins entire area. The adjacent uplands are utilized as pasture grounds, the next dominant land use cover. Coco­ nut and other permanent crops fill the moderately sloping terrain, including the coastal plains along the Davao Gulf and the whole Samal and Talikud Islands. Level areas constitute an advantageous 48.3 per cent, but these are not fully cultivated to rice since soil characteristics in some areas do not allow for produc­ tive rice culture. However, rice dominates the centralmost portion while the northern expanse is devoted to diversified crops. All in all they make up for a total of 1,088 sq. km. or roughly 13.8 per cent of the total area.

B .6.1 .1 national parks/archaeological/ recreational sites Davao City itself is a major tourist attraction in thP. South. The presence of a highly rated hotel makes it a more ideal vacationing spot for foreign and local tourists alike, who want to get away from it all. Several beach resorts are already in business and others arc just awaiting further development. As for national parks, none has yet been declared within the Tagum-Libu­ ganon region. B .6.1 .2 forest reserves Only one forest reserve is located within the Tagum-L ib uganon territory. This is the Mt. Kimongol Forest Reserve covering some 20,432.00.

B .6.2 proposed land use Land capability analysis has shown that the basins have a potential agricul­ tural area of approximateiy 4,815 square kilometers comprising some 61 per cent of the basins' total land area. Of these agricultural potentials, about 2,617 square kilometers or half exhibit potentials for general cropland use. However, land use information shows that the basins' approximate agricul­ tural land is 4, 128.0 square kilometers or about 52.2 per cent of its total land area where the basins' croplands are roughly placed at 2,000 square kilometers or some 52.2 per cent of the present agricultural aggregate area. Comparing. the soil's .Jdaptability to crops with the basins' actual use of land will indicate that its agricultural land will increase by 16 per cent. Noticeable in­ crease will be observed in the basins' rice areas and somewhat minimal with the other crops. Further development of rice culture in general and the basin's other primary crops will employ multiple use of its prime agricultural lands and eventually a shift in its present land use specially in areas that are classified as potentially cultivable.

A.1 Demographic Charc.cteristics A.1 .1 population

The Tagum-Libuganon Basins comprising 17 municipalities had a to~al population of 1 ,012,931 in 1975. This reflected a 27 per cent increase from the 1970 total or an annual growth rate of 5 per cent. Table Vl-A-1 summarizes the basins' population characteristics while Tables E-1 and E-2 show its popula­ tion distribution.

A.1.2 population density Population density in the area was placed at 112 persons per square kilo­ meter. Of the 17 municipalities, 8 municipalities had population densities higher than the basin average, with the most densely populated ones being Tagum (328), Panabo {274), Sabak (261), Davao City (219), Samal (197) and Kaputian (164). Low population densities were noted in the towns of kapalong (16), Mabini (43), Pantukan (45) and Asuncion (57). A.1 .3 urban and rural population structure The 1975 census statistics showed that the basin was predominantly rural where 72 percent of the basin population resided. Of the 17 municipalities, 2 were totally rural. Only 28 percent of the basin population resided in urban areas.

57 A.1 .4 age-sex structure and dependency ratio The population aged 1-14 years comprised 44 percent of the total popula­ tion. The working age group (ages 15-64) accounted for 54 percent or 541,918 of the total while the older group ( 65 years and over) represented only 2 percent. The dependency ratio in the basins area was placed at 0.86. The basin sex-structure showed a 52 percent-48 percent male-female distribution. A.1 .5 household/family size The total number of households reached 169 ,386 while the number of families was higher with 173 ,700. The average household and family sizes were both 6. By the year 2000, the projected number of households and families will reach about 462, 100 and 4 73 ,800 respectively. A. l .6 demographic projections Using the population projections (medium assumption) of the NCSO, the computed annual growth rate of the basin was placed at 4 percent for the period 1975-2000. In absolute terms the population is expected to increase from 1,012,931 in 1975 to some 2,760,000 in 25 years. The urban population would reach some 872,700 while the rural population about 1,890,000. The population density will likewise increase from 112 persons per square kilometer in 1975 to 306 persons per square kilometer in the year 2000.

A.2 Income A.2.1 income levels Based on the 1975 NCSO preliminary hand tabulations, the estimated total family income of Tagum-Libuganon Basins was i>l ,291 million, 26 percent of which was accounted for by the ruban sector. (Table Vl-A-2)

A.3 Labor Force and Employment Structure

A.3 .1 labor force . The working age population ( 15-64 years) in the basin was placed at 541 900 which was placed at 54 percent of the total basin population. The econ~mic

60 active population accounted for 5 6 percent or 303 ,000 persons of the total work­ ing age population while 44 per cent were economically inactive. Of the economi­ cally active 96 per cent were employed (Table Vl-A-7)

61 A.3.3 employment projections . The basin potential labor force ( 15-64 years) was derived by applying the 1975 working age population proportion to the respective population projec­ tions. The results are shown in Table VI -A-7. If development programs proposed for the area will be implemer.ted within the next 25 years, the increase in employment levels due to this development will be reflected by an upward adjustment of labor force participation rates and employment ratios. The projected labor force participation rates and their corres­ ponding absolute figures are also shown in Table Vl-A-7. Assuming an increase of 1 percent in the employment ratio every five years, the employed population would reach 843 ,200 in the year 2000. U nemploy­ ment levels correspondingly will be reduced from 4 percent to 2 percent in the year 2000.

A.4. Domestic and Municipal Water Use In this study, the 1975 average per capita water use of 0.115 cubic meters and 0.025 cubic meters were used for urban and rural domestic consumption respec­ tively. By the year 2000, per capita requirements arc projected to reach up to 0.190 cubic meters for the urban users and 0.040 cubic meters in the rural sectors. The basin domestic requirements are estimated to reach some 66,455 CMD in 1980, 129, 784 CMD in 1990 and 241,451 CMD in the year 2000. The shares of urban sector were 66, 69 and 70 percent respectively (Table Vl-A-9).

A.5 Water Supply Facilities Sources

. In 1970, rainwater was the main source of water for 48 per cent of the total basin households. The next major source of water were springs. The remaining household ~ere distributed as follows: open wells ( 14 per cent), pump (9 per­ cent), artesian wells {8 per cent), piped water (6 per cent) and lakes and streams (2 per cent).

A.5 .1 water supply infrastructure The Rural Waterworks Development Corporation ( R\VD C) has recognized three levels of services, namely: Level I, II and Ill. Among the three levels of services, Level I is the most basic. Essentially, water comes from point sources such as open wells, artesian wells and springs without a system of distribution. It is intended for rural centers where houses are clustered densely enough to jus­ tify a simple common piped distribution system. This system serves an average of 100 households. Level 111 services refer to a pipe system with individual house connections. Unlike Levels I and 11, it caters for densely populated urban centers. Based on the 1980 Survey conducted by the Ministry of Public Works and Highways (MPWH), the municipalities belonging to the Tagum-Libuganon Basins depend highly on existing public wells (Level I) as means of providing for its domestic water needs. There are 132 operational wells that serve an estimated population of 164,850 and 137 non-operational wells. At this point, the existence of Level 11 facilities cannot be determined yet si nee MPWH has no available data. So not exact number of Level 11 facilities is re- quired. Within the Tagum-Libuganon Basins, there are two (2) existing water di~­ tricts2/Davao Metropolitan Waterworks and Tagum Water System. The for'.11er is attending to the needs of Davao City Proper and portions o: twelve ( 12) ad~acent barrios. It has a maximum capacity of 2.96 MCM/year and 1s generally serving. an estimated population of 40,000. On the other hand, the latter serves a population of about 31,000.

63 With the population rapidly increasing, additional water supply facilities. will have to be installed to meet the water needs of the basins. On Table Vl-A-11 1s an inventory of water supply facilities (based on avail~ble data} along with the .re- quired additional facilities for the year 2000. Assuming an average ho~schold size of 6.0, some 5,637 units for Level I, 732 units for Level 11 and 16 units for Level 111, should be added to meet the demands of the basins.

A.6 Sewerage and Waste Disposal The basin had no existing centralized sewerage and waste disposal facilities. As per 1970 census report, much of the basin households had self-supplied systems. The survey s~owed that 30 per cent used the closed pit system, 28 per cent used the open pit, 16 per cent used flush/water sealed facilities and 2 per cent used public toilets. Approximately 24 per cent of the total households had no access to sani­ tary toilets.

64 B. Economic Sectors B .1 General Economic Structure

B .1 .1 gross domestic product and employment The gross domestic product estimate of the Tagum-Libuganon Basins to­ talled to =?4,979 M in 1975. Agriculture gave the largest contribution with 43 per cent, closely followed by services with 42 percent and the least contribution of 15 per cent by Industry. In terms of employment, the basin absorbed a total of 290,982 workers in the same year. Of this total, 68 per cent were engaged in the primary industries, 24 per cent were absorbed by the tertiary industries and 5 per cent by the secondary industries. In the absence of data on labor productivity rates on basin level, the com­ puted labor productivity rates for the region were used to arrive at sectoral value added of basin GDP. In 1975, the highest average labor productivity rate was registered by Services at :P30 ,577 and followed by Industry at =f3=30,515. Agriculture has the lowest rate at only:P10,782. On the assumption that the labor productivity growth rates computed for the whole region are equally applicable to all component basins, a long-range projection of output/labor ratios were made up to year 2000. The annual growth rates used were 6 per cent for Agriculture, 15 percent for Industry and 9 per cent for Services. (See Appendix C). The resulting values were multiplied with the sectoral employment figures to compute for the projected sectoral GV A's of the basin. Analysis of the projection shows that if employment will increase· by 290 per cent over 25 years or 4 per cent annually, there will be a corresponding increase of 890 per cent in GDP within the same period or 9 per cent annually. A considerable shift will occur in both employment and GV A from Agriculture to Industry at the same time the increase in Services would pick up from the expan- sion in Industry. Employment in Agriculture shali be reduced to 33 per cent of the basins' total while that of the secondary and tertiary sectors shall increase to 12 per cent and 45 per cent respectively. Development in the plan period is expected to be led by the industrial sector's expansion with an annual growth rate of 15 per cent fol­ lowed by Services with a lower growth rate of 6 per cent. Agriculture, which con- tributed for the highest share of GDP, will have the least growth rate of only 5 per cent annually. In absolute terms, output in the primary sector shall have in­ creased by about 3 times, in the secondary sector by 36 times and in tertiary sector by almost 4 times. With the total basin population growing yearly at an average rate of 4 per cent during the 25 year plan period, per capita GDP (at 1977 p~ices) stood at :P4916in1975 and will reach alevelof:P15,052byyear2000.Th1srepresentsan annual' growth rate of 5 per cent. The level of per capita GDP in year 2000 will be about 3 times that of the 1975 level. Refer to Table Vl-B-1 and Figure Vl-8-1 for statistics on employment and output.

B.1.2 sectoral highlights A brief perspective on sectoral performances and industrial characteristics relevant for economic analysis will be the main feature of the succeeding dis­ cussions. B .1.2.1 agriculture, fishery and forestry The primary sector in the basin is aimed to have an average growth rate of 4 per cent per year in the plan period. From its dominance as an output contri­ butor in 1975, it is projected to decline as other sectors, particularly Industry begins to grow at much higher rates. Hence, in 1975, gross value-added in this sector will drop from a share of 43 per cent to 15 per cent in year 2000. Moreover, its labor utilization capacity is seen to decrease from 68 per cent in 1975 to 33 per cent of the total employment of the basin in the next 25 years. In terms of crop production, palay, corn, and rootcrops accounted for almost 99 per cent of the temporary crops produced in the basin in 1971 with a combined value of =?62 million, while coconut and fruits for the permanent crops accounted for 84 per cent with a total value of =?38 million.

B .1.2.2 industry In 1975, the Industrial sector's contribution to the Gross Domestic Product amounted the least at only 15 pr cent and only 8 per cent of the basins' total employment was utilized. For the next 25 years, the sector is expected to show a remarkable change. With the highest growth rate of 15 per cent annually, the

The total industrial output is being dominated by the manufacturing and construction sectors at 85 per cent and 13 per cent respectively in 1975. These are expected to hold the same positions for the next 25 years in view of extensive programs in preparation for the implementation of the region's industrial stra­ tegy.

B .1.2.3 services In line with the development of both the primary and secondary industries, the Services sector contributed 42 per cent of GDP in 1975, and has an employ­ ment of 68,557 which is almost 3 times that of the Industrial sector's employ~ ment. Commercial activities accounted for 86 per cent of the sector's output while utilizing 30 per cent of the total service employment in the basin. From a share of 86 per cent in 1975, it decreased to only 17 per cent in year 2000. The results 9f the 1974 Annual Survey of Establishments in the Tagum­ Libuganon Basins showed a total of 35 ,612 firms engaged in tertiary activities. Of this total, 85 per cent or 30, 146 firms were engaged in commercial services; 9 per cent or 3,342 firms in Services and the least at 6 per cent were in the Trans­ portation, Communications and Storage sector. In terms or average annual employment, these industries absorbed a total of 36,754 persons for the same year. Among the service industries, Commerce absorbed a slightly bigger share than Services with 41 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively. Transportation had the least with 20 per cent or 7 ,406 persons. Gross output and book value of fixed assets for the whole sector registered at '?382 ,806 and :P254,226, respectively with gross output per employee highest in the Commerce sector (¥13 ,000), followed by Services (:P-9 ,000) and Transpor­ tation (=?8,000).

*Less than a million Source; 69 B .2. Agriculture B .2.1 general The agricultural production pattern of the Tagum-Libuganon Basins was derived from the aggregate performances of the municipalities within its influence area. These include 6 municipalities in Davao del Sur and 15 municipalities in Davao del Norte. All these comprise a total area of 790,100 hectares. B .2 .2. agricultural area distribution The agricultural area of the basins comprised about 280,388 hectares in 1971 ( NCSO Census of Agriculture, 1971). This was further distributed into the following: 108,799 hectares or 39 per cent were planted to temporary crops; 100,022 hectares or 36 per cent to permanent crops; 31,013 hectares or 11 per­ cent were lying id le; 23 ,467 hectares or 8 per cent for forest growth; 11,310 hec­ tares or 4 per cent to permanent meadows and 5 ,778 hectares or 2 per cent classi- fied as al I other lands. B.2.3 farm features The Tagum-Libuganon Basins had a total of 46,444 farms. Of the total number of farms, 90 per cent were less than 5 hectares with the rest having 5 hectares and over. From the total number of farm operators, 71 per cent were full-owners, 26 per cent were tenants, 23 per cent were part-owners and 0. 7 per cent were of other forms of tenure. B.2.4. land ownership and distribution The land ownership and distribution pattern for all crops found in the basin followed a trend similar to that of income measures. The size of land distribution in the basin reflects its fragmented character with the majority of households (90 per cent) owning the smaller parcels of land ( 1.0 to 4.9 hectares), comprising about 34 per cent of the total farm area and almost 1 per cent of families owning the bigger land parcels (25.0 hectares and above) (Table Vl-8-3) Table Vl-B-3 VARIOUS MEASURES ON LAND OWNERSHIP AND DISTRIBUTION BY FARM SIZE, ALL CROPS, 1971 Tagum-Libuganon Basins Mean Area % Distribution Ratio of % Distri- Farm Size Per HH of Farm Farm HH bution of (Mas.)

70 At present, increases in land productivity in the basin are highly dependent on the actual size of land area being farmed by the household. A principal reason for this is the level of technology and manner of cultivation. Thus, much of the anticipated changes in cultivation intensity will largely be brought about by im­ proved water control and management and the provision of water for rice and lowlands. However, current trends in land ownership and distribution for the basin indicate smaller farm areas per household within the lower farm size brackets (Table V l-B-3 ). The concentration of land ownership distribution is also evidenced by the Lorenz Curve for the basin (Figure Vl-B-3) indicating a ratio of 0.4901. A pre-condition for income-transfer in the rural areas of the basin will still, therefore, be highly dependent on land transfer, particularly in the food-pro­ ducing areas. Direct government investments especially for social overhead capital in water-resources related /infrastructure project will not, in themselves, guaran­ tee significant effects in reducing income inequalities caused by unequal land ownership distribution patterns. Since much of the productivity increases are pre­ dicted on agricultural land development and improved farm technological usage, one important policy implication is the adjustment of water resource projects to benefit those presently without the physical preconditions. B .2 .5 cropland distribution The total cropland of the basin planted to permanent and temporary crops reached 208 ,820 hectares or 75 per cent of the total agricultural lands. However, permanent crops utilized a smaller farm area thari the temporary crops. The crop area planted to temporary crops such as palay, corn, rootcrops was approximated at 108,799 hectares or 52 per cent of the total cropland. Of these, corn occupied a total of 71,103 hectares representing 34 per cent; palay areas with 35 ,473 hectares or 17 per cent : sugarcane, tobacco, rootcrops and vege­ tables with 2,223 hectares or 1 per cent. Major permanent crops namely coconut and fruits occupied 48 per cent of the total cropland area or 100,022 hectares. Table Vl-B-4 shows cropland distribution volume and value of produc- ti on. B .2.6 production During the 1971 crop year, the basin contributed about =?=115 million in terms of crop production value. Of the principal crops, palay was the major earner with a total production value of =?'34,362 million or 30 per cent of the total agri­ cultural receipts. Corn ranked second with total production of f127 million or 24 per cent. Sugarcane, tobacco, rootcrops and vegetables amounted to =F.2 million or 2 per cent. Other permanent crops like coconut, coffee and fruits contributed 43 per cent or about =F51 million. B .2.6.1 temporary crops The temporary crops namely: palay, corn, sugarcane, tobacco, vegetables and rootcrops are planted to a total of 108 ,798 hectares or 52 per cent of the total cropland area. These crops had a total output of "P'63 million which was 55 per cent of the basins' total value of production.

Pa I a y The basin is extensively cultivated to palay, occupying 35 ,473 hectares re­ presenting 17 per cent of the total cropland area. Total production reached 66,524 metric tons valued at fi4 million or 30 per cent of the area's total agri­ cultural receipts in 1971. With an effective area planted to palay at 57 ,055 hectares, cropping intensity was averaged at 1.61. Average productivity was recorded at 1.16 metric tons or 26.4 cavans per hectare.~ Irrigated areas of about 14,392 hectares or 41 per cent of total palay area had an average productivity of 34 cavans per hectare; while non-irrigated areas yielded an average productivity of 19 ca vans per hectare.

~One cavan of palay in 1971 = 44 kgs.; 1975 and 2000, = 50 kgs.

73 Using the NIA palay irrigated areas of 14,392 hectares and non-irrigated areas of 21, 081 hectares, NCS0 1s cropping intensity for irrigated and non-irri­ gated lands of 2.8 and 1.4, respectively and NIA Productivity of 3.45 MT /has. for irrigated and 2.2 for non-irrigated, the total palay production was placed at 203,456 MT or ar. equivalent of 122,374 MT of rice, using a recovery rate of 60 per cent. Total rice demand for 1975 was placed at 96,836 MT, thus the realized surplus was 25,538 MT. Demand for rice is expected to increase by 4 per cent annually over the next 25 years. Thus in year 2000, the rice requirement of 2,763,442 persons in the basin is expected to reach some 228,841 MT (For details on computations of food requirements, see Appendix C}. Providing an allowance of 25 per cent for seeds, buffer stocks and wastage, total demand will be 286,051 MT of rice. Several factors, such as land constraints, farm technology, productivity level, as well as, urban development on the basin area were used as bases for palay pro­ jection. The production target for the basin is focused on the optimization of palay cultivation in the areas classified as suitable for rice. With lowland irrigated palay estimated at 65, 160 hectares, as determined by the land suitability factors (net area for urban settlements), output projection was determined with the assumed changes in farm technology, irrigation facilities, cropping intensity and milling recovery (Table Vl-8-5).

74 For year 2000, using the potential lowland irrigable area of 65 ,160 hectares, cropping intensity of 277 and the NIA average productivity of 4.5 MT /ha., palay output could reach a total of 812 ,219 metric tons or 568,553 metric tons of rice (using recovery rate of 70 per cent). The basin can realize a surplus of 282,502 metric tons of rice. At l 00 per cent self-sufficiency in rice, only 32,783 hectares are required for cultivation in the basin.

Corn

As of 1971, the Tagum-Libuganon Basins had a total of 71,103 hectares of cornlands. It yielded a total output of 72,002 MT at a productivity level of 0.66 MT /hectare or 12 cavans/hectare. In 1975, assuming that the corn area remained constant at 1971 level, and cropping intensity and yield per hectare increased to 3.56 and 1.30 respectively, total corn supply was placed at 329 ,060 MT. The total corn demand for that same period grossed at 43 ,521 MT. This com­ prised the demand for food of about 39,000 MT, the consumption of corn for feeds at 3,160 MT (See Table Vl-8-6) and an allowance of 1 per cent or 431 MT ·for seeds, wastage, etc. Comparing supply and consumption figures, a surplus of 285 ,539 was presumably realized that year.

YAppendix for Methodology,

In projecting future demand for corn, two important variables namely, population and income, were considered. The consumption pattern for corn varies inversely with income; thus, as income rises by 5 per cent annually, per capita intake will decrease from 39.42 kg/year in 1975 to 23.10 kg/year in year 2000. The projected human consumption for year 2000 is placed at about 64,000 MT. Included to this is the estimated requirement for feeds in year 2000 placed at about 27 000 MT. This amount is substantial in the production of 88,000 MT of ' ... feeds needed to support 960,057 hogs and 27M heads of chicken (Table Vl-8-7). Summing up, total food and feed demand for corn and one per cent allowance will reach 91,255 MT.

75 Based on land capability studies, cornlands in the basin was estimated at 77 ,613 hectares. With a cropping intensity of 3 .66 and productivity of 2.565 MT I ha.41 , corn supply in the basin will reach 728,623 MT. Total cor.n demand. for year 2000 was placed at 91,255 MT, thus resulting in a big surplus in production. To be able to meet such corn demand, only 9,720 hectares should be utilized. The remaining 67 ,893 hectares could be utilized to supply deficient crops in the basin. Table Vl-B-7 shows the present and potential demand and supply in the basin.

Sugarcane

In 1971, sugarcane in the basin occupied only 64 hectares. Gross ouput was recorded at 1,383 MT with a productivity level of 16.01 MT /ha. and cropping intensity of 1.35. In 1975 assuming no changes in the physical area, with a crop­ ping intensity of 1.34 and an increase in productivity to 26.31 MT./Ha., produc­ tion reached 2,274, MT. At the cane-to-processed-sugar conversion rate of 1 :0.045 MT~, this is roughly equivalent to 103 MT of processed sugar. Compared to the total demand of 21,596 MT, the basin presumably incurred a deficit of 21,493 MT or almost 100 per cent of its sugar requirements in that year. This sugar production is seen to continue throughout the plan period on the basis of land constraints. Estimated area for sugar cane production in year 2000 based on land capability factors (using the 1971 cropland distribution in the basin) total to only 75.7 hectares. With a cropping intensity of 1.45 and using the projected yield/hectare of 46.9 MT~, total sugarcane production could reach

76 some 5, 148 MT or 232 MT of processed sugar. This sugar supply level is almost negligible compared to the basin population's demand of 61,238 MT in the year 2000. In order to meet the goal of self-sufficiency in sugar and area requirements for sugarcane, production will have to be expanded to some 20,011 hectares or 11 per cent of total diversified croplands.

Tobacco Tagum-Libuganon Basins had some 66 hectares of land utilized for tobacco production. Output reached 28 MT valued at 'P0.5 M. Production targets for tobacco will be oriented towards exports.

Vegetables The 1971 vegetable production in the basin was placed at 1,008 mt at a pro­ ductivity level of 0.60 MT /ha. and at a cropping intensity of 2.24. Its total value of production grossed P0.92 M, contributing 0.8 per cent to the total agricultural receipts. In 1975, assuming that productivity and cropping intensity increased to 3.4 7 MT /ha. and 4.11 MT /ha. respectively and with area planted remaining constant at 1971 level (749.6 hectares), total production reached 10,691 MT. Comparing this to basin population's demand of 48,013 MT, a deficit of 37 ,322 MT was ap­ parently incurred, indicating that about 78 per cent of vegetable consumption in 1975 was imported from neighboring basin areas. Using the MAAGAPll , vegetable productivity target of 9 .2 MT /ha. for year 2000, a cropping intensity of 4.21 and vegetable areas reaching 757 .2 hectares (land capability estimates), total production could reach 29 ,328 MT. Even at this high level of productivity in the basin, there will still be a shortage of 148,444 MT or 20 per cent of the projected food demand of 177 ,772 MT. Area requirement of 4,590 hectares will have to be utilized to meet the vegetable demand effectively in year 2000.

Rootcrops Various rootcrops such as camote, cassava, gabi, etc., were planted to 1,343 hectares in 1971. With total effective area of 2, 162 hectares, cropping intensity was estimated at 1.61. Its volume of production grossed 4,369 MT, valued at M .0 M with a productivity of 2.02 MT /hectare. In 1975, assuming that productivity and cropping intensity increased to 3.18 MT/ha. and 2.39 respectively, and physical area remained constant at 1971 level, total production reached 10,206 MT. With the basins' demand for root­ crops at 25,941 MT, there was a production deficit of 15,735 MT or 61 per cent of the 1975 demand.

zl Model Analysis for Agricultural Adjustments in the Philippines.

77 Project ADAM~ researches indicate that the rootcrop production could possibly reach the 5.5 MT/ha. productivity levels~ by year 2000 provided that intensified use of land resources and cropping techniques would be maximized. Even if this could be realized in the basin, a deficit of 4 7 ,213 MT would still be in­ curred even as earmarked rootcrops areas will increase to 1,514 hectares (based on land capability studies) with cropping intensity of 2.49. An area of about 4,962 hectares will be required to attain self-sufficiency in rootcrops. 8 .2.6.2 permanent crops About 48 per cent or 100,022 hectares was contributed by permanent crops in the total cropland of the basin. The major permanent crops were coconut, fruits, coffee and abaca. Total production of permanent crops was 35 ,496 MT with a value of-¥51 M.

Coconut

Coconut was planted to 69 ,672 hectares or 70 per cent of total permanent cropland area. Production accounted for 27 MT valued at=F28 M or 24 per cent of the basins' total agricultural receipts.

Fruits Various types of fruit-bearing trees were grown in an area of 13 ,865 hec­ tares. Fruit crops produced a total of 30,881 MT valued at~ 1 M. With total effective area placed at 13 ,865 hectares average productivity was estimated at 2.23 MT/ha. Allowing yields to increase to 3.15 MT /ha. in 1975, a production volume of about 43,673 MT was presumably harvested in that year, incurring a shortage of 8,219 MT or 16 per cent of the basin population's fruit demand of 51,892 MT. Based on Project AD AM studies for year 2000, fruit tree yields could reach about 5 MT /ha. As fruit tree areas expand to 15, 144 hectares as constrained by the basins' land capability map, and using a cropping intensity of 1, fruit pro­ duction could reach some 75,720 MT. In year 2000, a deficit of 109,983 MT could still be incurred if total fruit demand will stand at 185, 703 MT. Some 37, 141 hectares of fruit tree lands will be required to sufficiently meet the basins' total fruit demand.

Coffee In 1971, coffee was planted to 13 ,312 hectares. Production amounted to 3,964 MT, valued at ¥12 M or 23 per cent of total permanent crops' receipts.

Ab a ca Based on th~ 1971 NCSO Census of Agriculture, abaca was planted to some 3,173 hectares with total production amounting to 624 MT valued at ~0.8 M.

78 B .2.7 irrigation The 1975 inventory of NIA irrigated palay area showed that the basin had a total irrigated area of 14,392 hectares. With the proposed irrigation projects of NIA, additional areas proposed will be some 24,800 hectares. Hence, by year 2000, the total irrigated areas will reach 39,192 hectares. The total irrigated areas suitable for palay cultivation was established to be about 72,400 hectares. Netting 10 per cent of the area for settlement purposes, the available area for development will be about 65,160 hectares. The analysis of the demand and sup­ ply for irrigated palay area is presented in Figure Vl-B-5. See also Tables Vl-B-8 and Vl-8-9.

Of the total livestock population, carabaos and hogs were the most common animals raised, totalling 84,059 heads or 73 per cent of the total livestock popu­ lation. There were only 31,328 heads of cattle and other livestock or 27 per cent of the total livestock population.

Chicken, on the other hand, dominated the poultry population with 800,794 heads or 87 per cent of the total animal population.Ducks ranked next at 5 ,886 heads or 0.7 per cent of the total poultry population. B .2.8.2 demand In 1975, the meat requirements of the basin were estimated at 7, 172 MT of pork; 3,971 MT of beef/carabeef; and 4,7 50 MT of poultry meat. With extraction rate assumed at 60 per cent for hogs and poultry and 30 per cent for cattle, the estimated meat supply reached 2,384 MT of beef/carabeef; 2, 172 MT of pork and 582 MT of poultry meat (See Appendix C). On the whole, the meat supply in the basin incurred a deficit of 5 ,000 MT of pork; 1,587 MT of beef/carabeef and 4, 168 MT of poultry meat.

80 Using the projected population and increase in income as bases, the food demand will reach 33,410 MT of pork; 18,653 MT of beef/carabeef and 19,648 MT of poultry meat. Preliminary estimates show that the basin may be able to meet the require­ ments of the basin in the future. The Tagum-Libuganon Basins is expected to have some 219,800 h\'!ctares of pasture lands by the next 25 years. At a stocking rate of 2 heads per hectare, the area could hold some 439,600 heads of cattle equivalent to a beef supply of · 19, 782 MT. A surplus of 1, 129 MT of beef supply could be realized in the basin. To meet the basin population's beef demand of 18,653 MT in year 2000, an area of 207,256 hectares could be utilized. It is estimated that some 960,057 heads of hogs and 27 million heads of poultry will be required to sufficiently meet the 1 basin requirements for pork and poultry meat for the same year. '

B .2.9 agricultural water requirements Agricultural water requirements for the basin were derived for major crops, livestock and poultry. The total agricultural water requirements in 1975 were esti­ mated at 1,637 MCM. About 200.05 MCM or 12 per cent was attributed to the irrigation of palay and 1,436 MCM or 87 per cent was assigned for other crops such as corn, sugarcane, tobacco, rootcrops and vegetables. Livestock and poultry required only 0.91 MCM or less than one per cent of the total agricultural water. Projection of agricultural water use in the basin proper for the year 2000 was established based on land constraints as reflected in the land capability maps of the basin. By year 2000, agricultural water demand is expected to reach 2,529.84 MCM. Irrigating palay will require about 905.72 MCM, while 11.58 MCM will be required by livestock and poultry. (Table Vl-8-11 ).

The basins' fishponds in operation covered an approximate area of 2,795 hectares. Among the three sources of fish production in the basin, commercial fishing ranks first with 49 per cent or 8,405 MT, followed by municipal fishing with 44 per cent or 7 ,665 MT and lastly, by fishpond operations with 7 per cent or 1,258 MT. The fish requirements of the basin, using the standard NF AC per capita consumption of 38.63 kgs. in 197 5 and 52.49 kgs. for year 2000, are 39, 130 MT and 145,053 MT, respectively.

B .4 Industry Analysis of the industrial sector's performance by basin utilized a methodo­ logy which depends on employment and labor productivity per employed person to derive a value of production by industrial subsector and by industry group and on census reports at the municipal level. The projected shares of manufac­ turing employment and output for the various industries were patterned from the RDS-NEDA paper, "The Role of Industry in Regional Development." Establish­ ments' data were from the 1967 and 1972 Census and the Annual Survey for 1974 and the water coefficients were from the NEDA "Input and OutputTables.'1 In 1975, the whole Industry sector generated r?50 M or about 15 per cent of the GDP of r4,979 M. 8 y year 2000, it is projected to boost its selective sig­ nificance by a substantial increase in share of 65 per cent to an output level of -f'27 ,058 growing almost 36 times in 25 years at an annual growth rate of 15 per cent.

82 8 .4.1 mining Based on the 1975 Census of Population, the mining sector in the basin employed a total of 684 workers representing 0.2 per cent of the basins' total work force. Gross value added for the sector was estimated at"'P0.2 M. The 1978 Annual Reports of the Bureau of Mines showed that there were gold and copper ore reserves in the basin. The estimated ore reserves in the basin totalled to 140.9 million MT while copper reached 39.6 million MT. For non­ metallic ore reserves, limestone and marble registered reserves of 181.8 million MT located in Davao City and Kapalong (Table Vl-B-13).

Data on mineral production in 1978 were derived from 55 repoitlng estab~ lishments/licenses (Bureau of Mines, 1978) with a combined production of T26.2 million as compared to the 1977 mineral production value off""'20.6 miliion. Among the non-metallic minerals, sand and grave! had the greatest decrease in production, from 103, en 6 f\:ff in 1977 to 64,310 MT in 1978. The others didn't show remarkable changes in their production (Table Vl-B-14).

13.4.2 manufacturing The manufacturing sector in the basin has been closely linked with that of agriculture. Total manufacturing employment represented some 6 per cent of the basins' total number of workers while output took about 13 per cent of GDP. The primary industries of food; beverages, tobacco, textiles and wood products

manufacturing contributed the biggest portion of manufacturing output with 44 per cent, followed by the capital goods industries with 35 per cent. The inter­ mediate goods industries namely paper products, chemical and petroleum pro­ ducts shared the least with 21 per cent. According to the 1972 Census of Establishments, manufacturing operations in Davao del Norte and Davao del Sur were largely carried out by small-scale operators. These establishments absorbed 74 per cent of the sector's working force while contributing 68 per cent of the sector's output. For the period 1967- 1972, the employment creation rate of these small scale establishments expanded by 51 per cent annually, while output was observed to have increased at an annual rate of 131 per cent. The increases were a result of the entry of new establishments and overall improvement of existing industries. Note that while average employment size for the two censal years under consideration increased to about 13,000, average employment size decreased from 3.2 to 2.3, while out­ put per employee increased from 'fi,500 to f21 ,000. Large-scale industries, on the other hand, registered a slight decrease in average employment from 103 to 102 and so with the labor productivity which decreased from ¥30,400 to ns,ooo per employee. On the whole, the performance of the industries for the five-year period has been impressive. The rise in production costs was lesser than realized returns, thereby, increasing the net profit margin from 76 per cent to 119 per cent. The rate of return also increased from 176 to 219. Industrial statistics are presented in Tables Vl-B-15 and Vl-8-16.

The primary manufactures of food, textiles and wood industries in the basin will realize a long term annual growth rate of 13 per cent from =?'278M in 1975 to

:ps ,766 M in year 2000. However, it is observed that their share to gross manufac­ turing output will show a downward trend from a share of 44 per cent in 1975 to 30 per cent in year 2000. This is an outcome of the shift of industry emphasis from consumer goods to intermediate and capital goods manufactures and the modern­ ization of the small unorganized sector. The intermediate sector is expected to have a significant increase from :P-133 M in 1975 to ¥4,617 M in the next 25 years. The contribution to gross output will slightly increase from 21 per cent to 24 per cent. The capital goods industries will represent an annual growth rate of 16 per cent or a shift from '?245 Min 1975 to'PB,774 Min year 2000. This pro­ portion to gross value added increased from 35 per cent to 46 per cent.

B .5 .2 water transport As per 1978 PPA Annual Statistical Report, the basin had only one port w~ich is the Port of Davao. The total number of vessels in the said port was 303 with total cargo tonnage handled at 135,771 tons. Of this total cargo, the inward cargo accounted for 81,881 tons while outward cargo totalled 53,890 tons.

88 The Port of Davao also engaged in foreign shipping activities using 177 vessels. Its cargo tonnage handled totalled to 483,652 tons; 17 ,898 tons of which were imports, and much of it ( 465 ,754 tons) were exports (See Table Vl-8-22}.

89 B .6 Power

B .6.1 power generation and consumption The power generation for the entire island of Mindanao involves the deve­ lopment of a system through full exploitation of hydroelectric, geothermal and coal energy sources. Hydro power is presently being developed as a cheap indigenous source of power in the island. Initial development included the Lake Lanao-Agus River complex with a potential capacity of 944 mw in seven (7) sites along the Agus River Complex to lligan Bay. This was followed by the development of Pulangi River capable of supplying a potential of 873 mw. The rapid industrial development in the island has increased demand for power ai such a rate that hydroelectirc projects may not be able to meet expected future loads. For this reason, it has become necessary for the National Power Corporation ( N PC) and the National Electrification Ad ministration ( N EA) to consider the early introduction of diesel and thermal plants to boost energy supply to support load growth within the area and for the development of new load centers. Presently, however, in Davao area is separated from the Mindanao grid due to the prevailing problem encountered in the construction of the B ubong-Kibawe portion of the Agus-Davao 138 kv transmission lines. Thus, with the limited operation and capability of the Davao Light and Power Company to supply power load growth within the region will become stunted. As an interim measure the third power barge will be moored in Davao City until power from Agus be­ comes available by 1983. It is also planned that a thermal plant with a capacity of 150 mw be installed in Davao to stabilize operations and to provide additional capacity within the grid. The plant will be operational by 1984. It is planned that Agus 111 with a capacity of 225 mw be developed and be ready for operation by 1984 to be followed by Pulangi IV with the first 2 units scheduled by 1985. By 1985, the second thermal plant located in Nasipit, Agusan del Norte with a capacity of 150 mw is scheduled to come into stream early January followed by Pulangi 111 with a capacity of 136 mw at the start of the following year. Pulangi V with a capacity of 348 mw is scheduled to be operational at the require­ ment of 26.5 mw DLPCO diesel plants in 1987. In the year 1988 Cagayan I with a capacity of 100 mw and a thermal plant 111 shall be on stream. ' The total generated power for the Mindanao grid by 1980 totalled to 314 mw. F?r the same year, the projected power consumption within Tagum-Libu­ ganon 1s forecasted at 67.682 mw representing 21.55 per cent of the total generat­ ed power for Mindanao grid. It will provide adequate power service at approxi­ mately 98,782 consumers with an average consumption of 35 KWH/month/ consumer. The sytem installed capacity by 1990 will be 2,724 mw. The load forecast for the basin by 1990 is 124.87 mw or 5 per cent of the total load will provide to 229 ,709 consumers an average consumption of 58 KWH/month/ consumer. In the year 2000, the system peak demand will be 202.02 mw or 6.4 per cent at 3,154 mw of the system's installed capacity with a reliable service to

90 428,019 consumers and an average consumption of 80 KWH/month/consumer. 8 .6.2 power generating facilities The total generating capacity of the existing Mindanao grid is 212.6 mw which is composed of 201.6 mw of hydro and 11 mw of diesel. The present isolaied operation in the Davao area will be maintained until 1983 when it will then be integrated into the grid. Agus River No. 11 ( 180 mw), under a crash construction program, was scheduled to be on the stream last May 1979. Start-up of the initial unit was as early as February 1979. Constructed were three (3) diesel units of 18.65 mw each at Aplaya, two of which were commissioned last August 1979 and the 3rd unit coming in by Febru­ ary 1980. The General Santos Diesel Plant consisting of 3 x 7.3 mw units was expected to be energized in mid 1979. This plant operated as in isolated system and will be connected to the grid in July 1983 when the Cotabato Electrifica­ tion Project is completed. To increase the base load capability of the system, three (3) additional diesel units of 18.65 mw each were commissioned in June 1980, bringing the total installed capacity of the Apia ya Diesel Plant to 133.8 mw. To meet the requirements of the suppressed load forecast and serve the ever­ expanding load requirements of existing customers and the opportunity given by the financier, one Power Barge of 32 mw consisting of 4 units of 8 rnw each is planned in Davao City by 1981. This Barge will be maintained in Davao City until the integration of Davao area into the grid by 1983. Four ( 4) hydro plants namely, Agus VII (54 mw), Agus I ( 80 mw), Agus IV (150 mw) and Agus V (57 mw) are in the pre-construction stage. Scheduled com­ pletion dates are: (a) AgusVll May and August 1981 (b) Agus I November 1981 and January 1982 (c) AgusV April and j uly 1982 ( d) Agus IV March, April and j uly 1983 To meet the systems' requirements, especially energy, with the least expec­ ted suppression of load growth, three ( 3) coal-fired thermal plants of 150 mw each are programmed, one coming in January 1983, the second in January 1984 and the third in 1988. These units will be located in Davao City, Nasipit, B utuan City and probably Surigao City since endline generating stations are imperative to achieve supply reliability and voltage stability. Several hydro plants are already identified as programmed for construction and completion towards the latter part of the study period. These are: (a) Agus 111 with an .installed capacity of 225 mw for commissioning by April 1984. This project is presently being appraised by A.D .B. (b) Pulangi IV (Marumag) with an installed capacity of 225 mw with the initial two units scheduled to be on stream by January 1985. Contract documents were expected to be ready by the third quarter of 1979. ( c) Pulangi 111, with an in.stalled capacity of 136 mw, is programmed for

91 comm1ss1oning in 1986. This will be followed by Pulangi V ( 348 mw) by 1981. The pre-feasibility study of the Pulangi River Basin has been completed. The definite design including an interim report on feasibi­ lity is proposed to be taken up immediately.

{d) Cagayan I ( 100 mw) is also programmed for commissioning in 1983. The pre-feasibility study of the Cagayan River Basin along with that of the Tagoloan River Basin is funded by A.D .B. By the end of 1988, the Mindanao Grid will be capable of generating 2,447 mw of power with the retirement of 26.5 mw D LPCO diesel plants. The genera­ tion mix by this time will be 72 per cent hydro, 26 per cent coal-fired and 2 per cent diesel based on system energy requirements of 10,467 GWH.

WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

A. Sectoral Indicators of Development A.1 Water Resources A.1.1 water requirements Water requirements for the agricultural, industrial and domestic sectors for the year 1980 was estimated at 1,729 million cubic meters ( MCM} and is pro­ jected to increase to 2,062 MCM by the year 2000. Breakdown of these require­ ments is shown on the table below.

A.1.2 water availability Water resources consist mainly of rainfall, surface runoff and groundwater storage. For the Tagum-Libuganon Basins, average annual runoff is approximately 10,862 MCM. Eighty ( 80) per cent dependability is about 15 MCM per day. On the other hand, groundwater storage is estimated to be 5 ,812 MCM, with an inflow to the groundwater reservoir system of 859 MCM/year. Meanwhile, rain­ fall, the source of both surface and groundwater is roughly 2,476 mm/year (Table VI l-A-2 and Figure VI l-A-1 ).

98 A.2 Land Resources Results of the 1975 Census of Agriculture indicate that cultivated lands in the basins constitute some 14 per cent of its total aggregate area, spread over 4, 128.0 sq. km. of agricultural lands. Permanent crops cover 1,000 sq. km., while more than twice this size, is left to grass and shrublands. Land capability analysis indicates that the total cultivable lands can still be increased by 58 per cent i.e., an additional 56 per cent for rice and 38 per cent for diversified cropland. Aside from these recommended increases, pasturelands have a negligible increase area of only 8 per cent. Future additions to these cultivable areas may be derived from fairly rated lands which can be upgraded through careful farm management and complex soil conservation practices and from lands which are presently covered with tree farms and forests. Total cultivable lands are underutilized, most significantly the rice areas. However, the disparity between the existing and the recommended modifications in land uses is only moderate. Total agricultural areas can be expanded or in­ creased by 687 sq. kms., or 17 per cent wherein ricelands have the biggest share of increase (Table VI l-A-3).

A.3 Agricultural Self-Sufficiency The present level of basin development can be determined through the pro­ duction of crops, livestock and poultry and the level of food self-sufficiency. As indications of potential resource availabilities, these provide basic guidelines in the formulation of plans and programs for future development, especially those relat­ ing to land utilization for crop and livestock production unit in the basic eco­ nomy. In 1975, as shown in Table Vll-A-4, it can be seen that the Tagum-Libuga­ non Basins was a surplus producer of rice and corn but incurred large deficits in all other food items. Based on demand, food items like sugar, rootcrops and vege­ tables incurred shortages of about 62 per cent while pork, and poultry meat suf­ ferred supply shortages of more or less 50 per cent. The sugar supply is noted to be almost 100 AJCr cent deficient.

99 In year 2000, the trend of production level is seen to extend with more than 700 per cent in corn and more than 30 per cent deficits in sugar, rootcrops, vegetables and fruits. To arrive at the various production/supply levels, it is how­ ever, emphasized that area estimates used were based in the 1971 cropland distri­ bution in the basin. The future direction. of the basin development, with regards to the priority crops to be produced, ·will have to consider changes in the existing land utilization pattern as well as meeting the targetted productivity levels used in this report. With improved farm management and cropping techniques, such pro­ ductivity estimates have been accepted as realistic at the national level. Moreover, preliminary base year indices indicate that such targets could be realized by year 2000, having the production variables of yield lesser in magni­ tude of importance than the problem of land constraints in the basin.

Mortality and morbidity due to malaria decreased in number and rates in the two provinces. Eleven of the 17 municipalities comprising the Tagum-Libuganon Basins were indicated as endemic for schistosomiasis. The estimated number of cases represent 16 per cent of the 1975 total population of these municipalities (Table Vll-A-7).

A.4.2 education The basins, literacy rate for 1970 was 82.0 (No literacy data available for 1975). In 1975, about 56 per cent of the basins' population of six years old and over either reached elementary level or completed their elementary education. Some 20 per cent reached high school or completed their high school education. About 6 per cent reached college level while only 4 per cent completed college. Approximately 13 per cent had no schooling (Table VI l-A-8).

A.4.3 income The basins' average family income increased by 'P3,155 over 14 years start­ ing from 1961. In 1961, the average family income was ¥4,738 and by 1975, it rose to '?7,893. The Gini ratios within the period, as well as for its urban and rural sectors depicted marked increments. The basins' Gini ratio increased from 0.38l,­ in 1961 to 0.3997 in 1975. The urban ratio increased 0.3988 in 1961 to 0.4056 in 1975 while the rural ratio also increased from 0.4010 to 0.4937 also for the same period. The index of intra-basin inequality -increased from 0.4172 in 1961 to 0.4296 in 1975 illustrating a worsening income distribution.

B. Project Profiles B .1 Potential Multi-Purpose Projects The potential of Tagum-Libuganon Basins for water impounding projects has not been fully utilized. Although the area has several potential sites for multi­ purpose reservoirs, only one existing damsite can be found within the basin which is situated in Mi ntal, Davao d el Sur. According to the inventory by NWRC in 1978, there are eight (8) identified potential sites within the basins.Table Vll-8-1 lists the existing and potential dam sites along with their coo rd in ates, drainage area, dam heights and functions, while Figure VI 1-8-1 shows their approximate locations. Area-capacity curves of the potential sites are provided in Figures VI l-B-2 to Vll-B-7. Langitang Reservoir of Magtuga and Kapalong Reservoir at Jaguimitan have an impounding capacity of 2,750 MCM and 2,260 MCM, respectively at an elevation of 200 meters. · The reservoirs can be made to function for irrigation, flood control, power generation, and other uses if their potentials can be fully tapped.

108 B.2 Irrigation Projects Several irrigation projects can be found within the basins. These irrigation projects are classified into national, communal and private irrigation systems. Actually existing in the area are some 24 communal and 275 private systems, which serve approximately 14,392 hectares. The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) has identified and proposed 24,800 hectares for irrigation purposes. The national irrigation system will en­ compass 72.58 percent of the proposed irrigable area, while, communal irrigation system, 27.42 per cent. Table Vl-8-9 lists the inventory of proposed irrigation projects.

B .3 Water Supply Projects B .3 .1 agency proposals and activities Government agencies are compelled to exert efforts in coping with the exist­ ing and future water supply needs of the basin. The Rural Waterworks Develop­ ment Corporation ( R 'NOC), created out of the NWRC Task Force on Rural Water Supply, assists in· the construction of shallow and deep wells. In line with this, several programs are being undertaken to improve water service. An example is the B agong Lipunan Communal Water Program which aims to construct and re­ habilitate shallow wells in the area. Likewise, the Local Water Utilities Adminis­ tration, operating through its water districts, utilizes groundwater for provincial urpan areas. It also reestablishes water supply systems whose components con­ form to the formation of water districts. Within the basin, there are two (2) exist­ ing water districts, Tag um Water System and Davao Metropolitan Waterworks. Tagum Water System serves a total population of 31, 100. This population is rapidly increasing and expected to reach 54,800 by year 1983. Consequently, new wells in the poblacion may be drilled to meet the demands of the service area. Davao Metropolitan Waterworks is currently attending to the needs of Davao City Proper and portions of 12 adjacent barrios. 1.Q.L About 2,000 hectares of land avail the services of the said water districts. By year 1990 and 2000, the service area is expected to increase to approximately 5 ,000 hectares and 7 ,500 hectares, respectively. Improvements proposed in the area consist of collector wells, pump­ ing equipment, electric power supplies, chlorination facilities, distribution mains, customer services and meter and fire hydrants. B.3.2 study proposals To provide potable water supply to the projected population. Some 5 ,637 units of level I, 732 units of level II and 16 units of level 111 will be required by year 2000. Table Yl-A-11 shows the municipal distribution of estimated level I, 11 and 111 facilities required .

109 B .4 Data Collection System

B .4.1 water resources data The management of water resources within the basin depends highly on the adequacy and accuracy of relevant hydrologic and other water and land related data. Thus, the implementation of an efficient data collection is crucial in the development and effective use of the area's resources. B .4.1.1 rainfall data

Rainfall data aside from other considerations, is important in the analysis and interpretation' of surface and groundwater records. As such, a comprehensive rainfall station network is needed in the basin to provide the necessary informa­ tion. At present, there are four ( 4) existing stations established by PAGASA, all situated on flat plains. Based on the NWRC recommended standards, 111 the required number of stations for the Tagum-Libuganon Basins for flat plain areas and mountainous/rolling areas are twelve ( 12), and fourteen ( 14) stations, respec­ tively. Thus, the basin is in need of an additional eight (8) stations for flat plains and fourteen (14) stations for mountainous/rolling areas in order to arrive at a more accurate picture of the spatial distribution of rainfall within the basin.

B .4.1 .2 streamflow data Stream discharge measurements are the only direct means of quantifying the amounts of water relevant to the utilization and prevention aspects of water re­ sources development. As such, the installation, operation and proper maintenance of the instruments for flow measurement are priority considerations in water re­ sources planning. There are four ( 4) existing gaging stations, three of which are situated on flat plain areas. For the entire influence area of the basins, the total number of required stations as recommended by NWRCW is nine (9) stations for flat plain areas and fourteen ( 14) for the mountainous areas. At least six ( 6) more additional gaging stations on the plains and thirteen ( 13) on the. mountains should be installed to monitor the streamflows of the major rivers and their tributaries.

B .4.1.3 evaporation and other climatic data Evaporation and other related data, such as temperature and humidity, are important for water balance and agrometeorological studies of a basin. Studies performed on the Philippines have shown that evaporation rates do not vary sig­ nificantly with respect to location.12' In th is view ,the N WRC recommends a station density of one station per 20,000 square kilometers. Within Water Resource Region XI, covering a total influence area of 23,858 square kilometers, no station collects evaporation data. Therefore, it is necessary to install at least one evaporation station in any of three basins - Tagum-Libuga­ non, Davao-Oriental or South Cotabato..

110 B .4.1.4 groundwater data Involved with the groundwater development and management are eight ( 8) government agencies, namely: National Water Resources Council, Bureau of Water Supply (Ministry of Public Works and Highways), Bureau of Mines, Natio­ nal Irrigation Administration, Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System, Local Water Utilities Administration, Army Corporation of Engineers and Rural Waterworks Development Corporation. These agencies facilitate the collection of of groundwater data essential for domestic, agricultural and industrial water supply. Just recently, NWRC has been entrusted with the responsibility of coordinat­ ing water resources exploration and exploitation, defining some standards for groundwater development and data collection, undertaking special activities in surface-resistivity and assembling and synthesizing information necessary for the analysis of the complex groundwater situation. The area has still inadequate data on groundwater. This could be attributed to the non-existence of uniform standards and systems of data collection. In view of this, NWRC has developed a Manual on Data Standards. Furthermore, NWRC has initiated the listing of.all water resources developments and their correspond­ ing data of the country. This requires the submission of data from well drillers and well owners. Likewise, the registration of water users has been operational, but then, the response of the private sector has not been enough to have an as­ sessment of groundwater exploitation. Therefore, there is a need to improve the manner by which information could be effectively disseminated in order to acquire an accurate and sufficient data essential for groundwater quantification. To install groundwater station network, several factors should be taken into consideration. Among them are the subsurface geologic conditions which influ­ ence the occurence and distribution of groyndwater resources in the area and the presence of other nearby wells or adjacent bodies of water. Since no specific in­ stallation requirements are prescribed, precautionary measures must be contem­ plated. This will ensure efficient development and utilization of groundwater resources. B.4.2 !and resources data The source of basic land resources data is the Bureau of Soils. Except for the existing land use, information on soil types, erosion susceptibility, etc. are generated from the Provincial Soil Survey Charts and Maps. B .4.2.1 land capability Land capability classification, a critical factor in determining the agricultural potentials of an area is done in a gene-rat manner. B .4.2.2 soil fertility Information on the different levels of fertility is not provided.

C. Development Impact Evaluation

C.1 Socio-Economic Im-pact Evaluation

111 C.1 .1 general The framework of development for Tagum-Libuganon, on one hand, is predi­ cated on the complementary and interrelated strategies of proper and rational land utilization and on the other hand, on water resource development and man­ , agement. Significant among the derivative strategies for development for Tagum- Libuganon are the following: the allocation of land resources to optimum use based on the national criteria of maximizing productivity, environment protection and re­ source conservation; the provision of water for agricultural, domestic, municipal, industrial, and other sectoral requirements. These strategies will expectedly contribute to sustained increase in the in­ comes of the majority of the area's population, in the self-sufficiency in their food requirements, in the minimization of unemployment and in the improve­ ment in the level of social services. C.1.2 effects in basin incomes Intercensal changes in mean family incomes have, as a whole improved for Tagum-Libuganon over a 14-year period. With the bulk of economic activities highly dependent on agriculture and land development, any attempt to increase population incomes will have to be based on present income sources of the popu­ lation, notably farming and land-based activities. The package of projects found feasible at the basin level will have quantifi­ able and direct income increase effects for the target beneficiaries due to im­ proved water management, higher levels of cropping and land cultivation inten­ sity, and water control. Based on figures derived from similar areas proximate to the basin some 5 to 7 per cent increase over present productivity levels is observed due to irrigation of rainfed lands. C.1.3 possible effects on income inequality The distribution of family income shares for the Tagum-Libuganon River Basin has generally been worsening for the past ten years. Percentage shares of families earning below T-2,000 have generally increased while those earning above fk'J0,000 have also become smaller (Table Vl-4). This trend is equally borne out by the relatively increasing concentration ratios for the basins as a whole, and for its urban and rural components. Inequality among families and in the distribu­ tion of income has not been altered. In fact, using the index of intra-basin in­ equality of differences in income inequality due to occupational variations, the profile which emerges is fairly consistent with the derived income concentration ratios (Table Vl-5).

C.1.4 spin-off impact on land reform development Correlating the income measures with the land ownership distribution for all crops provides a similar pattern. The distribution of land in the basins reflects its fragmented character with majority of households owning 90 per cent of small p~rcels (under 1.0 to 4.9 hectares). The pattern is, however, altered drastically with the concentration of one per cent of families owning bigger land parcels 112 (25.0 hectares and above) which comprise 18 per cent of total croplands (Table Vl-B-3). At present, increases in land productivity in the basins will be highly depen­ dent on the actual size of land being farmed by the household. A principal reason for this is the level of technology and manner of cultivation. Thus, much of the anticipated changes in cultivation intensity will largely be brought about by im­ proved water control and management and the provision of irrigation for rice and cornlands. For the present, however, it appears that there is no definite direction in this aspect. Various measures in land ownership and distribution of the basins indicate smaller farm areas per household within the lower farm-size brackets (from 0.0579 to 0.5507) and the greater number of households per hectare in this lower farm-size brackets (Table Vl-B-3). The concentration of land-ownership distribution is also evidenced by the Lorenz Curve for the basin (Figure Vl-B-3), indicating a ratio of 0.4901. A precondition for income transfers in the rural areas of the basins will still, therefore, be highly dependent on land transfers, particularly in the food pro­ ducing areas. Direct government investments especially for social overhead capital in water resource related infrastructure projects will not in themselves guarantee significant effects in reducing income inequalities caused by unequal land owner­ ship distribution patterns. Since much of the productivity increases are attribut­ ed to agricultural land development and improved farm technological usage, one important policy implication is the adjustment of water resource projects to be­ nefit those presently without the physical preconditions. The effects, therefore, of the package of projects for water resource develop­ ment on income redistribution and land inequalities will largely be prepositioned on the development of the institutional factors such as patterns of land owner­ ship and the rate of land transfer in the basin. Full irrigation development of systems identified in the basins can.generally provide the material conditions whereby land reform can be accelerated. Con­ versely, the institution of a reform coverage in the basin areas can substantially hasten the water resource development. C.1.5 effects on employment generation in the agricultural sector Development activities for Tagum-Libuganon consists of irrigation deveiop­ ment, provision of water supply for various sectors, flood control and drainage, hydro-power, land development and other land improvement schemes. Employ­ ment generation for these activities will largely consist of ( 1) those pertaining to direct public expenditures; (2} those related to land expansion and improve­ ment schemes; and ( 3) those associated with spin-effects due to increased activi­ ties in the above investments. C.2 Environmental Impact Evaluation In any national development, it is necessary to seek a balance between eco­ nomic progress and environmental aesthetics. Implementation of resource deve­ lopment projects may produce long term environmental effects on the natural resources in the basin area. However, at this stage, only potential sites have been

113 identified which need advanced investigations and detailed studies for possible water resource development. When studies.are justified to be feasible for proposed hydropower, irrigation, flood control and reservoir development, they may even­ tually enhance the economic and social development of the country. At present, only a general description of the environment and probable deductions in river basin planning have been made requiring still further research and evaluation. The proposed water resource development may create potential environ­ mental effects yielding suitable results, such as: decreased soil erosion, improved watershed and forest management, expansion of fisheries, reduced stream and reservoir sedimentation, increased dependable water supply and groundwater resources, improved scenic attractiveness, improved health and standard of Iiving and income. C.2.1 natural vegetation and wildlife The basin area is dam inantly covered by forest growth in the mountainous areas followed by sections of coconut land, rice paddies and other lowland crops. Mt. Kimongol Forest Reserve (20,432.00 has.) is the only designated forest reserve in the area. It may not be affected by any potential water related projects, which have yet to be subjected to investigations and detailed studies in order to determine the feasibility of the area to undergo water resource development. Forest growth in the mountainous areas are considerably under dipterocarp, secondary, and primary forest growth. Some important trees found under primary forest growth are akle (Albizzia acle), ipil (/ntsia biyuga), narra (Pterocarpus sp.), molave (Vitex parvif!ora), yakal (Shorea gisok), tindalo (Pahudia rhomboidea), banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) and guijo (Shorea guiso). Other common trees found also under secondary growth species are tibig (Ficus nota), binunga (Maca­ ranga tanarius), dita (Alstomia scholaris), anobiong (Trema orienta/is), anonang (Cordia dichotoma), arang (Artocorpus odortissima) and alim (Me/ano/epsis multi­ g!andulosa). Grass species are also equally abundant such as cogon (/mperata cylindrica). The forest grounds also support diverse species of wildlife. Rare species such as the Monkey-eating Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) and the Rofous Horn­ fill (Bucenos hydrocorax) are also sighted in the ranges of Mt. Apo. When the area has been found feasible for proposed water impounding projects, environmental changes caused by construction activities may adversely affect vegetation, wildlife and habitat. Water impounding may reduce the area of wildlife habitat through fencing, affecting feeding ranges that are incorporated with the mainstreams and/or its tributaries, considering that almost all forms of wildlife exist along river banks. Elimination of trees and shrubs by burning and cutting may have adverse effects on the existence of some animals. For instan~e, forest t~ees. are primarily nesting spots of birds and manipulation may result m a reduction m their numbers. Noise caused by construction activities can cause animals to leave or avoid a particular area. Other habitats that are elimi­ nated by co~struction are nests and burrows containing eggs and young which are alm~st certainly destroyed. These adverse effects may eventually force animal species to move out to other niches in the surrounding territorie-s.

114 Vegetation is also greatly affected by such physical disturbances. Reservoir construction and operation along various surface run-off control projects may affect large areas of natural vegetation. Natural vegetation such as trees and shrubs are likely affected by resulting erosion and may, therefore, restrain its re­ establishment. Measures must then be implemented to preserve the existence and diversity of vegetation and wildlife. When endangered species exist in the vicinity of an impoundment, steps must be taken to establish a shelter for their preservation. If construction activities are confined to an area where possible habitats are affected, such disturbances must be minimal. Land clearing must also be limited to an absolute minimum. Therefore, planning should ensure the minimization of expected adverse effects. In addition, further preimpoundment studies must also be undertaken to properly assess the impact the new reservoir will have on the environment. C.2.2 fisheries and water quality No fisheries development and water quality surveys were conducted by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (B FAR) and the National Pollution Control Commission ( N PCC), respectively for this basi!l.

C.2.3 soils The soil types in this area are basically a combination of clayey and loamy soil. The area is dominantly covered by primary, secondary and dipterocarp forests. Farm management practices must be appropriately applied to avoid erosion in higher areas. Since external and internal drainage is good, ~owland rice is suitable especially where rivers and streams are available for irrfgation. The slopes in the area vary from level to almost imperceptible. Further investigations must be undertaken to test its suitability for water im­ pounding reservoirs. When the area is found to be promising for project sites, pre­ ventive measures must be set to preserve the productive value of top soils, as we!! as, subsoils from any physical disturbances. Some areas must be strictly under forest growth, since they are not suitable for agricultural purposes due to their unfavorable topography. Forests form more stable ecological communities and may, therefore, be more effective in protecting unstable catchments of soils. In areas of unstable soil, where flash flood occurs, streambanks are a major source of erosion. Most of the sediments carried into the reservoirs are the products of soil erosion from the catchment area or from the upstreams. Erosion also from rural and urban areas also contribute to sedimentation of streams and reservoirs. Preservation, such as control of indiscriminate cutting of forest and afforestation, can provide success­ ful stabilization measures. The planning and execution of soil conservation measures may be direct and effective means of controlling reservoir sedimenta­ tion, improving the infiltration capacity of the soil and slowing down the run­ off of excess water to reduce flood peaks. The areas with coconut are usually kept under grass with occassional trimming since grass helps in the control of erosion. Other measures that may be applied are contour plowing and farming, utilization of drainage channels, grass waterways terraces and diversion and strip

115 cropping. Planting of ipil-ipil (Leucaena glauca) which serves as a cover crop should be sufficient. C.2.4 mineral resources The major mineral ore reserves (Metallic) found in the basin area are deposits of gold ore in Mabini and Maco, Oavao del Norte and copper deposits also in Maco, Oavao del Norte. Non-metallic ore reserves, such as deposits of limestone and marble are found in Davao City and Kapalong in Davao del Norte. Water supply intake facilities for transmission to mineral operations is neces­ sary in any mining activity, thus affecting the water quality as well as the land resources of the basin. Waste water containing decomposed organic compounds and suspended rock materials may produce undesirable water quality changes. High levels of turbidity in water and siltation of the downstream portions of rivers may take effect as a resu It of the discharge of industrial effluents. At the same time, growth of algae which is the basic food substance of water organisms is most Iikely endangered. Furthermore, heated water discharge could have serious effects on the local wildlife and fishing habitat by increasing the temperature to intolerable limits, consequently affecting species diversity and abundance. When the area is found to be feasible for water resource development no pro­ posed reservoir is affected, nevertheless, waste material may extend to other areas through water currents of small tributaries and streams that are drawn to the pro­ posed impounding projects.

Diversion or elimination of sewage and industrial wastes is es~cntial for rea­ sons of health as well as water appearance. Other mitigation measures for control of effluents of these mining operations must be undertaken to prevent any possible alterations or changes on agricultural production or on fishery resources. C.2.5 historical and archaeological sites There are no archaeological sites found in this basin as reported by the National Museum. However, there is a possibility that sites may be encountered if further excavations are done in this area as a result of the proposed projects. Therefore, proper planning and management of the facilities which would be associated with these water impoundings is necessary. It is also imperative that any earthworks to be done in the basin, must have prior consultation with the concerned agency.

C.2.6 vectors and public health Aside from the common human diseases ( enteric, metabolic and respira­ tory), water borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid and El Tor are very common in the area. Schistosomiasis is also known to occur. Of the waterborne causes of morbidity and mortality over the periods of 1975 and 1977, reported cases of gastroenteritis ranks first based on rates per 100,000 population, followed by dysentery with malaria and schistosomiasis ran king third and fourth respectively in Davao del No'."te and Davao del Sur. One of the significant results that may follow in any water resource develop­ me~t is the production of more breeding grounds of vectors (mosquitoes, flies, snails, etc.) therefore, increasing the prevalence of the disease. The physical struc-

116 tu re of reservoirs directly influences the distribution of breeding populations; production is low where the shoreline is steep but high where it slopes gradually. When the area is found to be feasible for water resource development, cons­ truction and operation activities may result in the propagation of serious human diseases. For example, schistosomiasis is essentially a "water-base" disease, being dependent on an aquatic intermediate host, namely, the snail (Oncomelania quadrasi). The host is adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. They breed in different sites in the presence of water, solid surfaces (for deposi­ tion of eggs) and some food supply. Snails do not only thrive in the presence of human excrement but also in unpolluted water as long as there is enough food supply (weeds, algae and other micro organisms). The most common parasitic worm (schistosome) which is confined in the Philippines is the Schistoma japo­ nicum. Upon completion of water impounding projects, prevalence of the disease may increase since surface area is widened. Plant growth consequently colonizes the shorelines, thus, doubling the probability of development and incidence of the schistosome-carrying snail. Mats of weeds and other floating vegetation infested with the snail host, may be transported downstream spreading the disease to other areas where none existed before. The disease is often associated with defective drainage of irrigation systems, forming stagnant pools, we areas and seepages which are favorable conditions for breeding. Outbreaks of malaria may also occur upon impounding. Plasmodium vivax and P/asmodium flaciparum are the most prevalent malarial drugs. No program of malaria control can succeed as long as female anopheles mosquitoes are per­ mitted to breed. Mosquitoes pass through four (4) stages of devel0pment: the egg, larva, pupa and the fully developed insect, of which first three (3) stages take place in water. The transmission of arbovirus disease such as malaria is associated mainly with irrigation areas linked to dams. Other habitats that are also favorable for mosquito production in the reservoir include depressions in the zones of water fluctuation that trap water, burrow pits and sloughs. Although mass human treatment may be the easiest and most promising method for treatment of such water-borne diseases, it may also be proven, in­ adequate for the following reasons: defective and untidy irrigation schemes in­ adequate facilities for excreta disposal, lack of health education and unsanitary practices of inhabitants. To carry out environmental control, there must be cooperation between public health services, government agencies and the local inhabitants. Improvement and control of environmental changes caused by water deve­ lopment schemes is possible provided that health measure~ are applied from the earliest phases of planning and control meas.ures are ~s~oclated th~oughout each stage of water development. These measures include: siting of h_ou~mg away fr?m canals; providing of adequate and safe wat~r supply ~nd san~tat~on protect1_on for bathing water recreation and laundering; shoreline san1tat1on; educating population ~o improve its habits in disposing wastes and excreta; providing of foot bridges; controlling astray animals and improving the monitoring system.

117 These must be developed to assure early detection of any adverse effects. C.2.7 socio-cultural aspects The cultural minority groups within the basin are the Samals, B agobos, Saranganis and the Sama/A'A Samas in Davao del Sur and the Karagas, Mansahas and Manobos in Davao d el Norte. The initiation of environmental changes caused by water resource deve­ lopment oftentimes affects local residents particularly farmers, fisherman and and traders. Displacement of people occur in areas to be inundated thu~, such drastic change may, therefore, be mitigated depending on the system of planning. Previous reservoir development often gave rise to serious issues concerning evacuation and relocation of communities. The Pantabangan Dam in Nueva Ecija, which was constructed in 1971, has readily satisfied its economic demands by fostering increased rice production and providing hydroelectric power. i'kvcr­ theless, unforseen physiological, physical administrative and economic conflicts have emerged. Housing for settlers and designated lots were located on haphazard areas. Conflict arose between settlers and cultural minority groups inhabiting the specified resettlement areas hence, causing irregularities and disorder in the re­ settlement program. The Chico Dam, though has not yet been completed, is considered to be a controversial dam in the Northern highlands. Four ( 4) multi-purpose dams called Chico I , 11, 111 and IV would have been the biggest in Asia relieving the country's wavering oil import bill. Though the project is scheduled for completion by 1982, it has been temporarily shelved. Opposing forces from people who are affected by the project, specially the Bontoc and the Kalingas have made construction impossible. Although the government is set on finishing the project, unyielding tribesmen WP,re similarly firm and determined due to psychological religious and economic factors which have been aroused, affecting their political system as well. The people have strong links with their dead believing that their lands have been assigned to them by their gods and are expected to care for these. Such a project would submerge hectares of land including the world famous rice terraces, villages, orchards, and finally displacing almost 15 ,000 fam i! ies. The efficiency and success of a relocation program depends on two (2) factors mainly: 1) time and 2) resettiement sites chosen. The environmental change rouses a crisis of individual and cultural identity. Preparation can eliminate the shock of being physically uprooted, so that relocation authorities must pro­ pose adequate and appropriate provisions to promote the settler's identity as a community thus, leading to a systematic and comprehensive strategy for growth through careful location of community facilities. Agricultural lands set aside for cultivation, should be arable to compensate for the loss of agricultural crops. Re­ s~ttlers mu~t be provided with substitute and continuing employment opportuni­ ties. Essential resources should be operative such as housing adequate and safe water supply, sanitary facilities, equipment or domestic stock' and medical servi­ ces. The introduction of social and institutional reforms and measures from ex­ perienced advisers supported by government policies to motivate settlers to assume responsibility for the development of their communities is also critical to the resettlement program.

118 D. Institutions

The network of institutional relationship in water resource management of the river basin or water resource sub-station level includes national, regional and local bodies. The national agencies work through their field offices, special projects or task forces. Their range of activities covers policy formulation, coordination, planning and project development, construction and operation of projects, monitoring, training, research and data management, regulatory and adjudicatory functions and enforce­ ment of legal measures. A brief description of the organizational structure, functions and activities of these agencies at water resource area level are presented in the succeeding paragraphs. D .1 National Organizations D .1 .1 The National Economic and Development Authority (NED A) The NEDA is the highest planning and coordinating body in the country. It lays down the overall policy guidelines for the long-range development of water resources and related sectors as vital components of the Five, Ten and Twenty­ Five Year National Development Plan. The main control mechanism available to NEDA in effectively pursuing its coordinative functions and imposing its policies is its review and approval of pro­ jects for inclusion in the annual national budget. Technical review is exercised by the appropriate staffs under NED A through inter-agency committees that are organized from time to time to handle special review functions. The policy, plan coordination and technical functions of NED A are decentralized at the regional level through its Regional Offices. The Five-and Ten-Year Regional Development Plan for Region XI was completed by the NEDA in 1977. D .1.2 The National Water Resources Council ( NWRC) The NWRC was created by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 424 to coor­ dinate and integrate all activities related to water resource development and to exercise regulatory and adjudicatory functions relative to water rights and other provisions of the Water Code of the Philippines. In add it ion to its regular functions, the NWRC has a special interim respon­ sibility of organizing, through a task force, water associations and cooperatives in rural areas of non-PADAP provinces. It also provides technical, institutional and financial assistance to the same until such time that a permanent institutional arrangement has been forged. In line with its planning and research functions, the: NWRC undertakes the preparation of integrated regional water resource development frameworks using the river basin as the unit of data generation and analysis, project identification, evaluation and planning. Part of this exercise is the framework plan for the Tagum-Libuganon Basins and the regional development framework plan for Water Resource Region XI. 119 126900' REGION II

120 D .1.3 The National Irrigation Administration (NI A) The NIA is a corporate body having the responsibility for the planning, cons­ truction, operation and maintenance of all national irrigation systems, as well as, government-funded communal and pump irrigation systems. It is also empowered to implement multi-purpose water resource projects and supportive activities like road construction, reforestation and extension services. The latest inventory of on-going and proposed irrigation projects shows that approximately 18,000 hectares are to be served by national systems and 6,800 hectares by communals. NIA works with the Ministry of Public Works and Highways (MPWH) in designing and constructing drainage facilities and protective works in the agricul­ tural areas served by the NIA projects. With regard to hydroelectric power deve­ lopm~nt, NIA works in coordination with the National Power Corporation. The NIA also establishes and operates climatologic and hydrographic sta- tions. D .1.4 The Ministry of Public Works and Highways ( MPWH) The MPWH undertakes the planning and implementation of infrastructure projects in the following categories: flood control, reclamation and drainage, water-works systems, artesian wells and springs and other public works. It also maintains stream gaging stations in strategic points in major rivers all over the country. At the basin level, these functions are exercised by the Ministry's engi­ neering district offices. The MPWH maintains gaging stations with the basin. It also has a continuous development program for waterworks systems for major settlements, as well as, the construction of wells and springs. The latter is carried out in cooperation with the local governm.ent units of the area. Flood control structures maintained by the Ministry in the flood-prone areas include dikes/levees, revetments, cut-off channels/ diversion channels and spur dikes. It also undertakes the construction, repair, maintenance and development of roads, bridges and other infrastructures.

D.1.5 The National Power Corporation ( NPC) The NPC undetakes the development of electric power generation facilities including hydroelectric power, construction and operation of dams, reservoirs and diversion facilities required for this purpose. The agency is authorized in coordina­ tion with NIA and MPWH, to assume the lead where the hydroelectric purpose is of primary importance in multi-purpose projects. The Davao area is presently separated from the Mindanao Grid but will eventually be integrated into the grid by 1983. Because of this, three (3) thermal plants will be constructed in Davao and Nasipit, Agusan del Norte from 1984- 1986. To increase the base load cap ab ii ity of the three ( 3) diesel plants in Aplaya, three (3) more plants of 18.65 MW each are to be built. One power barge consist­ ing of 4 units of 8 MW each is planned for Davao City until its integration into the Mindanao Grid. At present, there are 4 hydro plants with a total of 339 MW are

121 on the pre-construction stage. Also, three ( 3) coal-fired thermal plants of 150 MW each are programmed to meet system requirements. D .1.6 The Bureau of Forest Development (B FD) The B FD has authority over the protection, development and management of all forest lands, grazing lands and forecast reservations including watershed reservations. In the basin, there is only one forest reserve which total 20,432 hectares. This is the Mt. Kinongol Forest Reserve. D .1.7 The Bureau of Soils (BS} The 8 ureau of Soils is responsible for the assessment, development and con­ servation of soil resources. In 1956, it conducted a nationwide classification of soils and has been undertaking various reconnaissance soil surveys in both the sub-regional and regional levels. It also conducts specific area surveys upon request and, where specific pro­ jects require, updated and detailed soil data. D.1.8 The Ministry of Local Government and Community Development ( MLGCD) The MLGCD provides advice and assistance to local governments and com­ munities to improve and support their operations through training, education, co­ operatives, technical and financial assistance through its regional, provincial and municipal offices. Part of the Ministry's program is the "B arangay Water Supply Project" in 25 provinces nationwide to provide potable water supply to rural communities with populations ranging from 500 to 5 ,000. Likewise, the "Barangay Road Program" of the Ministry is undertaken in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Works and Highways. D.1.9 The Farm Systems Development Corporation ( FSDC) The FSDC was created to aid in organizing farmer irrigator associations and to provide technical and financial assistance in the establishment of irrigation faci­ lities in areas outside the NIA development program. In addition, it extends pro­ duction, processing, diversification and marketing support to farmers. FSDC's present efforts are concentrated in compact farmlands of less than 1,000 hectares that have been or are to be transferred to farmer-owners under the Operation Land Transfer of the Ministry of Agrarian Reform.

D .1.10 The Local Water Utilities Administration ( LWUA) The LWUA is a national agency which provides technical, financial and man­ agement services to local water districts to assist them in the development and operation of water utilities.Because of the small size of the urban settlements and t~e l~w population density in Tagum-Libuganon, there are two (2) existing water districts namely the Tagum-Libuganon Water System and the Davao Metropolitan Waterworks.

·122 D .1 .11 The National Electrification Administration (NEA) The N EA is the national agency that takes charge of transmission and distri­ bution of NPC-supplied power. The NEA organizes and assists electric coopera­ tives, manages operations, maintains facilities and collects electric fees. D .1.12 The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PA GAS A) The PAG ASA was created to operate a system for weather forecasting, for collecting and disseminating climatological data and for studying seismic disturb­ ances. It operates and maintains a network of 4 rainfall stations within the basin.

D .2 Regional Organizations

D .2.1 The Regional Development Council ( RDC) The RDC serves as the regional policy and coordinating body whose mem­ bership consits of the regional directors of NED A and national line agencies, the governors of the member provinces and, where there are chartered cities within the region, the mayors of such cities. Because of its comprehensive membership, the RD C has the capability to integrate programs of agencies having water-related activities with the develop­ ment strategies of the region. D .2.2 Regional sectoral agencies Sectoral agencies are decentralized at the regional and provincial level in varying degrees and in some cases, the planning, decision-making and program­ ming of development projects may be done autonomously by the regional agency. One of the most decentralized agencies is the Ministry of Health's regional office which can undertake programs in cooperation with provincial and local governments and related agencies for such objectives as the improvement of health services, water supply and community health facilities.

D .3 Local Governments D .3.1 Provincial government Under the decentralized local government system, the provincial government has powers to generate developments funds and work in partnership with national line agencies and other entities to improve social conditions and develop related infrastructure. Particular areas of involvement include irrigation, roads, electric power and water supply. D .3.2 Municipal and barangay governments The local population, who are generally the target beneficiaries of water resource development projects, should be given more importance than the local governments and participative groups involved in t~e .said ~rojects. Howeve~, since the financial costs of most projects are hardly within the investment capab1-:

123 lity of those local units, their participation centers mostly in the non-monetary aspects of projects like cooperative labor and, at times, free voluntary operation of completed projects. Counterpart funds are sometimes required but often the amount involved is minimal, with the national or other organizations taking the larger share of the financial burde!l. Examples of the projects where local government participation is of prime significance, are barangay water supply, local waterworks and other social im­ provements.

GLOSSARY

Load Factor the ratio of the average load over a designated period of time to the peak load occurring in that period. average load maximum demand Connected load sum of continuous load Maximum demand the greatest of ail demands which have occurred during a specified period of time. Geothermal relating to the heat of the earth's interior Grid interconnected network of power stations and transformation facilities Hydroelectric of, relating to, or employed in the production of electricity by water power. Nuclear of, or relating to atomic energy. Power energy capable of being transformed into 'Nork Substation consists of one or more transformers mechanically and electrically connected and coordinated in design and construction" Voltage the greatest root mean square difference of potential between any two conductors of the circuit connected Watt absolute MKS unit of power equal to 1 joule per second or 1/746 horsepower. Note: l megawatt (MW) - 1,000,000 watts Watt-Hour unit of work or energy equivalent to the power of one watt operating for one hour and equal to about. 2,655 foot pounds. Average Kilowatt per consumer per-month simulation of load behavior of each type Hour (KWH) of load for a given 24-hour period. The average KWH per con­ sumer per month based on NEA and assumptions. Total KWH per total number of consumers x average kwh/month /consumer month System Loss transmission losses from the generation outlet ta the transfer point to service areas of 24 per cent were assumed.

Summary of Forecast Assumptions Based on statistics and practices here in the Philippines, the commercial levels and usage of the potentials consumers in the data were computed for the 1st ( 1980), 15th (1990), and 25th (2000) years taking into consideration the percentage connection level and population growth rates. Other considerations which were taken into account were as fol­ lows: the Engineering Feasibility Report by the National Electrification Administration; the actual housecount, the field investigation and the load feasibility and engineering studies by

147 NEA engineering consultants. The load levels and usage (KWH/month/consumer) were pro­ jected up to year 2000. The percentage connection in 1980 was assumed to be 49.88%; for 1990, 72% and for year 2000, 93%. The low percentage connection in 1980 was due to the initial connection covered by poblacion areas and minimal connections along the feeder route. The percentage increase in the number of potential consumers for poblaciones and barrios were based on the annual growth per area covered by the basin. Consumption in kilowatt hour per type of consumer was based on the consumption rates prepared by the NEA engineering consultant. From the average consumption in KWH/ month/consumer and estimated number of consumers, the maximum demand was deter­ mined for every city and municipality covered by the basin. The number of consumers and corresponding kilowatt demand in the data were pro­ jected up to year 2000 to determine the overall system demand within the Tagum-Libuga­ non Basins.

In the other load computations, the following were assumed:

1. Population growth rate 1980 - 1990 = 1.048834 1980 - 2000 = 1.0430994

148 2. Connection level and assumption rates 1980 = 49.88% at 35 KWH/month/consumer 1990 = 72% at 58 KWH/month/consumer 2000 = 93% at 80 KWH/month/consumer 3. Population increases 1980 = 1.175 1990 = 1.901 2000 = 2.751

From the above assumption, the following multipliers were dervied from the other load computations: C = other load in 1980 =86,182 x 103 KWH/year 1 10th year other load (1990) = ( 1.048834) O 72 C = 2.325 C 49.88 2 20th year other load ( 2000) = ( 1.0430994 ) 093 C = 4.336 C 49.88

1.0 Industrial Output 1.1 Gross Domestic Product GDP= GVA (Agriculture+ Industry+ Services) 1.2 Gross Value-Added GVA = N x LP Where: GVA =estimated output by major sector N =sectoral employment in the river basin (NCSO) Lp = NED A Regional productivity rates, re based to 1980 prices 2.0 Labor Productivity 2.1 General Sectors Labor productivity rates for the various industries in 197 5 were derived from the NEDA Five-Ye_ar Development Plan, Region XI (Table 2.1 ). Gross value-added per industry at constant prices in this region are rebased to 1980 prices by the factor 3.023 (Consumer Price Index, Region XI). These are divided by total employment per industry in the political region to arrive at labor productivities by industry for 1975. For year 2000, the projected 1987 GVA of the same source was used by multiplying the projected annual growth rate for the various sectors (agriculture 5.8%, industry 15.1 % and services 8.5%) up to the year 2000, after which an infla­ tion factor of 3.023 was applied. Thus: GVA 2000 = projected GVA 1987 x an­ nual growth rate x 3.023.

For Lp's of the various manufacturing industries, annual growth rate of GVA's {taken from Table 10 of the Industry Sector, RDS) for_ 197~-85 were projected to derive 1975 and then rebased to 1980 prices by t!1~ rnfla tr on factor 3.023 (Consumer Price Index, 1980). These in turn, were d1v1dcd by the res­ pective employment levels to arrive at Lp's for 1975.

Lp's for year 2000 were derived residually as the quotient of projected GV A's over projected employment.

3.0 Employment

The total basin employment figure for year 2000 (588,086) was taken from NCSO using medium projection assumptions. Breakdown into the major industries (agriculture, industry, services} was based on the 25-year regional trend of NEDA which is (Regional Planning Studies Series, Number One, 1978, Table 27) as follows: (a) the share of Agricultural employment to the total will decrease by 34.9 per cent (b) the share of Industry will increase by 13.6 per cent and (c) that of Services will increase by 21.3 per cent.

Further breakdown of Industry and Services employment into their component sub-sectors was patterned from projected NEDA figures (Southern Mindanao Region Five-Year Development Plan, 1978-82, Table 2.5). The 1987 levels were projected to year 2000 using the 1977-87 growth rates for each industry. Then, the resulting year 2000 employment distributions under Industry ard Services were applied to the totals for the river basin.

4.0 Manufacturing Industries 4.1 Employment Distribution

Employment distribution of the various manufacturing'ind~ustries in the river basin in 1975 was derived from the actual NCSO (provincial) figures for the same year. Initially, the river basins, percentage share in terms of area coverage per pro­ vince was multiplied by the total employment per industry in the respective provinces. These were then added up to approximate the employment levels in manufacturing in the basin. For year 200_0, the same basis for distributing manufacturing output ( GV A) was utilized for employment. 4.2 Output ( GV A) Distribution With the projected total output (GVA) in manufacturing as a constraint, distribution to the industries was based on the NEDA·RDS projection ratios (NEDA-RDS, The Role of Industry in Regional Development, August 1976, In­ dustry Table I, Region XI). (Table C-4).

6.0 Palay Projection 6.1 197 5 Palay Area

Indices derive palay production from irrigated areas in the basin (NIA estimates). Irrigated areas (21,758) were multiplied by the average cropping in­ tensity (2.77) and yield per hectare (3.45). Production from non-irrigated areas, on the other hand,. was derived from various parameters. First, irrigated areas were deducted from total ricelands in the basin to arrive at non-irrigated area estimates. Second, corresponding non-irrigated area yield per hectare ( NCSO = 1.0} and average cropping intensity of ( NCSO = 1.40) were applied to these areas. .

Total palay production was estimated as the sum of irrigated and non-irriga­ ted palay yields.

156 Conversion from palay to rice production used a standard recovery rate of 60 per cent for 1971 and 1975 and 70 per cent for year 2000.

6.2 Year 2000 Palay Projection Palay projection was based on several factors such as land constraints farm technology, productivity levels as well as urban development in the basin' area.

Year 2000 production levels were estimated using the land capability esti­ mates against NCSO cropping intensity and Mindanao Irrigation Studies pro­ ductivity.

7 .0 Corn Production/Demand Corn production in 1975 was estimated by allowing yield per hectare to increase from the 1971 level of 0.20 to 1.255 MT while holding constant cropping intensity and corn area. For year 2000, the Masaganang Maisan productivity es ti mate of 2.5 65 MT /ha. ( 45 cavans) was used as well as total land earmarked for corn production based on land capability studies for the basin with cropping intensity at 1975 levels. Projections of corn demand, on the other hand, were estimated considering the two important variables of population and income growth. The consumption pattern of corn varies inversely with income as reflected by the negative income elasticity for corn resulting in a shift to other food items as income rises. Total demand for corn was then converted to area requirements and in turn compared with land capability corn areas to get the level of self-sufficiency of corn production in the river basin.

8.0 Sugarcane Production/Demand Based on National Sugar Trading Corp. (NASUTRACO) coversion rates, one MT of canned sugar is roughly equivalent to 0.045 MT of processed sugar. This was adopted in the study to approximate the supply of processed sugar in the planning area which is comparable to demand. Sugarcane area requirements and targeted production levels to sufficiently meet total demand were, likewise, tallied with existing capacities of adjacent sugar centrals to process the projected sugarcane production levels.

9.0 Other Crops For other crops, projections were established based mainly on Project AD AM productivity estimates for year 2000 (Journal of Agriculture and Economic Develop­ ment, Vol. VI 11, No. 3 Nov. 197 8). Assuming minimal changes in cropping intensities for vegetables, rootcrops and fruits, land capability area estimates were used with productivity levels at 9.2 MT/ha. for vegetables, 5.5 MT/ha. for rootcrops and 5.0 MT/ha. for fruits. With the objective of assessing the level of self-sufficiency of er.op production in the river basin, area requirements based on demand were compared with potential crop-lands based on land capability factors from which future land utilization guidelines for basin development could be deduced

157 10.0 Livestock and Poultry Projections 10.1 Population Requirements Livestock and poultry population requirements were estimated based on food demand computations using the formula: Required Animal Population= Food Demand 2000 (Carcass Weights) (Extraction Rate) Where: Unit Carcass Weight= 58 kg. (hogs) 150 kgs. (cattle) 1.2 kgs. (chicken) Extraction Rate= 30% (cattle) 60% (hogs and chicken)

10.2 Feedgrain Requirements Livestock and poultry feedgrain requirements were determined by the formula: Total Animal Feeds = (Animal Population) (Feed Requirements per head/year) Where: Unit feed requirement =210 kgs. (for hogs) 2.5 kgs. (for chicken) 30% of total animal feeds were assumed to be corn components.

11.0 Agricultural Water Demand Agricultural water demand in the basin was derived for palay and other major crops and livestock and poultry. Water demand for palay in 1975 was determined using NIA existing irrigated areas, while for the other major crops, the 1971 distri­ bution of physical area cultivated to each crop was considered. Agricultural water demand for year 2000 was derived from the land capability of the basin. 11.1 Crops The mathematical computation and working equation for the diversion requirement for crops are given as follows: a) TOR rice= uwr x .01 x PA Where: TD R = total diversion requirement for rice (in MCM/year) uwr = unit water requirement per annum based on NI A rainfall and evapotranspiration studies at selected sites (in/m/year). For Tagum-Libuganon Basins it is 1.390 MCM/Year PA = physical area (in hectares)

158 b) TWR other crops= wr x Cl x PA x No of days/growing season 106 Where: wr =water requirement for other crops (In cu.m./ha./day) Cl = cropping intensity PA = physical area

11.2 Livestock and Poultry Livestock and poultry water demand· was determined by multiplying the actual (for 1975) and required (for year 2000) livestock and poultry population {based on food demand) by the water consumption per head (Table C-8).

159 Table C-8 UNIT WATER REQUIREMENTS Livestock and Poultry

Livestock and Poultry Water Consumption/Head/year Cattle 7.5 cu. m. Swine 7.5 cu. m. Chicken 0.046 cu. m.

12.0 Future Food Demand

The food pattern in the basin area was deduced from the general consumption characteristics of Region XI. The aggregate consumption levels of selected items were calculated considering population growth, income changes and dietary traditions or nutritional requirements. The method used was the compound growth rate formula.

Dt = P x C (1 + Ye)n

Where: Dt = demand for nth year p = population in nth year c = per capita consumption y = real income growth rate e = income elasticity of demand

Tables C-10 and C-11 show Per Capita Consumption of major foods and income elasticities of demand for Region VI, respectively.

13.0 Area Requirements to Meet Demand 12.1 For Crops Estimation of area requirements based on demand in the river basin in 1975 and year 2000 utilized the following formula:

Area Requirement = Total Demand Cl x Yield Per Hectare

161 Rice demand was first converted to palay production by the rice/palJy conversion factor of 60 per cent for 1975 and 70 per cent for year 2000, while sugar was converted back to cane utilizing the NASUTRA cane-to-processed sugar conversion rate ofl :0.045 M.T.

163 APPENDIX D LAND RESOURCES

Methodology for General Land Use Study for Water Resource Region XI

1.0 The evaluation process requires a thorough interpretation, analyses of the physical environment of land like water, topography, vegetation, climate, and the various properties of soil and its characteristics, all of which influence the capability and/or suitability of land to certain use it is best recommended to. The process starts with the assessment of the performance of land with its present uses, then carefully analyses the physical factors like terrain, drainage, climate type and erosion conditions. However, the determinants do not limit to the above but also include the ecological and cultural factors. Based on the overall evaluation process, the study shall make general suggestions on the recommended type of land use. 2.0 Diagnostic Criteria 2.1 Existing Land Use A general land use is undertaken by the Bureau of Soils with the use of aerial photographs. Field checks were undertaken in April 1978. Land Use maps in Water Resource Regions were done in 1 :250,000. 2.2 Land Capability Under the land capability analyses, three major factors are considered, namely, the slope of the land, soil type and degree of soil erosion. Analyses and classification is made with reference to present land use, soil conservation measures and farm management practices. 2.2.1 slope Slope classes are determined and mapped out to determine the suitability of land for agricultural production. Each slope category determines the extent of the recommended agricultural use. 2.2.2 soils Soils in the area are classified in order to determine the soil types that could be utilized for crop production. 2.2.3 soil erosion susceptibility Extent of soil erosion in the area is classified and mapped out in order to determine areas which could be utilized for intensive agricultural diversification, and the farming practices to follow also determine areas which should be under forest cover. 2.3 Sectoral Demand/Requirement on Land 2.3.1 agriculture 2.3.2 pasture/livestock

165 2.3.3 forest 2.3.4 fishpond

2.4 Ecological Balance

2.5 Land Use Regulatory Measures Some policies and laws concerning land use in the Philippines arc as follows: 1. P.D. 815 - Restrict the conversion of prime agricultural lands for other uses. 2. P.D. 705 _The Forestry Reform Code of the Philippines was promulgated by the Republic of the Philippines on 19 May 1975. This code defines the functions and responsibilities of the 8 ureau of Forest D cvclopment. It an­ swers all views of forest resources management, utilization, demarcation, protection, enforcement and rehabilitation. This code have several instruc­ tions concerning forest policies and the following policies been adopted: The multiple uses of forests land shall be oriented to the develop­ ment and progress requirements of the country, the advancement of science and technology and the public welfare: Land classification and survey shall be systematized and hastened: The establishment of wood-processing plants shall be encouraged and rationalized, and the protection, development and rehabilitation of forest lands shall be emphasized so as to ensure their continuity in pro­ ductive condition. Section 54. No forest lands 50% in slope or over may be utilized for pasture purposes. 3. P.D. 331 - The document stipulated that all public forest be developed, managed and utilized on a sustained yield basis with the assistance of tech­ nically, trained and Registered Foresters. As emphasized, it seeks the help of technical personnel to carry out logging practices as well as silvicultural aspects. It seeks to harmonize the productivity and stab ii ity of the nation's forest ecosystems. Implementing guidelines, rules and regulations on forest occupancy serve the purpose of requiring concerning terms of reference in forest occu­ pancy. Strict compliance of the rules are written in the whole context of the agreement. 4. P.O. 953 - This decree requires every person who owns land adjoining a river or creek, to plant trees extending at least 5 meters on his land adjoin­ ing the edge of the bank of the river or creeks, except when such land, due to its permanent improvement, can not be planted with trees. Likewise, every holder of a license agreement, lease, license or permit from the govern­ n:1ent, involving oc~upancy and utilization of forest or grazing land with a river or creek therein shall plant trees extending at least 20 meters from each edge of the bank of river or creek. 5. L.0.1. 423 - This letter of instruction brought a new massive approach towards forest ecosystem management. It directed the creation of a Presiden­ tial Council for Forest Ecosystem Management (PRO FEM) to "formulate

166 programs, rules, guidelines, regulations and policies that will maintain and enhance the country's forest ecosystem management, which involves refores­ tation, afforestation, Agroforestation, establishment of communal forests, family orchards and recreational parks and areas. 6. LO.I. 145. - Directed the Presidential Committee on Wood Industries D eve­ lopment to work out and submit a program at promoting the development of industrial forest plantation and tree farms in the Republic of the Philip­ pines. This move has the primary objectives of introducing agro-forestry program and the production of raw materials for wood based industries in­ cluding the rehabilitation of critical watershed that are resettled. 7. LO.I. 409 - Was issued to the officials of the Department of Natural Re­ sources and Bureau of Forest Development to determine the performance of forest concessionaries and their adherence of forest regulations and poli­ ci~s. 8. LO.I. 525 - Was issued to expedite the implementation of the government agro-forestry development pilot project under Proclamation No. 1632. The Ministry of Natural Resources is authorized to use funds from the Depart­ ment to compensate the value of improvements of the various ranchers and small settlers within the agro-forestry development pilot project. It exempts displaced settlers and ranchers from the payment of application fees, regis­ tration of their land patents or pasture application.
