  • Stakeholders' Participation
    Contents 1. Introduction 2. Principles of Stakeholder Participation 3. Stakeholders in the MRB Management and Development 4. Proceedings on the First Multi-Sectoral Consultation and Workshop 5. Proceedings on the Second Multi-Sectoral Consultation and Workshop 1 INTRODUCTION Stakeholder participation shall be a vital foundation of the management and development of the Marikina River Basin, in consonance with the Philippine Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan’s encouragement of stakeholders’ participation. The rationale behind this is to (a) make service providers more responsive and accountable to beneficiaries; (b) align the provision of services with users’ needs and ability to pay, thereby improving cost recovery and sustainability; and (c) tailor arrangements for water service management to local practices. Involving stakeholders in the management and development of MRB allows for the joint identification of needs, innovative ways to meet these needs and ensures sustainability, in the long run. Further, it creates ownership of the decisions regarding Marikina River among the stakeholders, that will eventually ensure stable benefits, access to information and opportunities for the local communities, primarily but other key stakeholders both horizontally and vertically. In particular, the objectives of stakeholder participation are: Improvement of decision-making as the focus is on the views, perspectives and needs of the involved parties; Encouragement of public input and feedback mechanisms as proof that

  • A Historical Evaluation of the Emergence of Nueva Ecija As the Rice Granary of the Philippines
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Historical Evaluation of The Emergence of Nueva Ecija as the Rice Granary of the Philippines Fernando A. Santiago, Jr., Ph.D. Department of History De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: The recognition of Nueva Ecija’s potential as a seedbed for rice in the latter half of the nineteenth century led to the massive conversion of public land and the establishment of agricultural estates in the province. The emergence of these estates signalled the arrival of wide scale commercial agriculture that revolved around wet- rice cultivation. By the 1920s, Nueva Ecija had become the “Rice Granary of the Philippines,” which has been the identity of the province ever since. This study is an assessment of the emergence of Nueva Ecija as the leading rice producer of the country. It also tackles various facets of the rice industry, the profitability of the crop and some issues that arose from rice being a controlled commodity. While circumstances might suggest that the rice producers would have enjoyed tremendous prosperity, it was not the case for the rice trade was in the hands of middlemen and regulated by the government. The government policy which favored the urban consumers over rice producers brought meager profits, which led to disappointment to all classes and ultimately caused social tension in the province. The study therefore also explains the conditions that made Nueva Ecija the hotbed of unrest prior to the Second World War. Historical methodology was applied in the conduct of the study.
