ATTY. JUAN MIGUEL T. CUNA ENGR. FLORANTE A. PANGANIBAN OIC-Director President Environmental Management Bureau-DENR PCAPI- IVA Chapter 4 | P a g e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND Like in many other countries, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required by the Philippine Government prior to the implementation of undertakings with significant environmental impacts. EIA in the Philippines was originally conceived in 1977 with the issuance of the Philippine Environmental Policy (Presidential Decree 1151). This law mandates all national government agencies, including government- owned and controlled corporations, as well as private corporations, firms and entities to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for any project or activity that significantly affects the quality of the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) System in the Philippines, officially referred to as the Philippine EIS System (PEISS), was established under Presidential Decree (PD) 1586 on 11 June 1978. Section 4 of PD 1586 provides that no person, partnership or corporation shall undertake or operate any such declared environmentally critical project or area without first securing an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).The National Environmental Protection Council (NEPC) under the Ministry of Human Settlements was designated as the lead implementing agency. Full implementation of the PEISS transpired after the issuance of Presidential Proclamation 2146 in 1981 where the technical definition of Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs) and Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs) was provided. In 1987, Executive Order 192 merged the National Environmental Protection Council (NEPC), the National Pollution Control Commission (NPCC) and the Environmental Center of the Philippines (ECP) into what is now the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) and was put under the administrative jurisdiction of the renamed Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). EMB assumed the functions of the NEPC, NPCC and ECP that implements the Philippine EIS System. After 35 years from its establishment, the PEISS has gone through a lot of developments as well as challenges and opportunities. The conduct of the First National Convention on the Philippine EIS System has been planned as early as on the 25thYear of the PEISS but only came to be realized with the preparation of a concept paper in April 2012.The concept paper became the working draft of EIA practitioners

  • State Violence in the Philippines
    State violence in the Philippines An alternative report to the United Nations Human Rights Committee presented by People's Recovery, Empowerment and Development Assistance Foundation, Inc. A project coordinated by World Organisation Against Torture Case postale 21- 8, rue du Vieux Billard CH-1211 Geneva 8, Switzerland Geneva, September 2003 Foreword Writing alternative reports is one of the main activities of the OMCT and a vital source of information for the members of the Human Rights Committee. With these reports, it is possible to see the situation as objectively as possible and take a critical look at government action to eradicate torture. Under the aegis of the European Union and the Swiss Confederation, the “Special Procedures” program presented this report on state violence and torture in the Philippines at the 79th session of the Human rights Committee, which took place in Geneva from 20th October to 7th November 2003 and during which the Government’s report of the Philippines was examined. The study is divided into three parts. Part I provides a general overview of torture and inhuman or degrading treatments (in prisons in particular) committed by state officials. Parts II and III deal with torture and inhuman or degrading treatments of women and children respectively. This rather novel approach sheds light on the situation of particularly vulnerable groups of people. The Human Rights Committee’s Concluding Observations and Recommendations adopted following examination of the Filipino Government’s Report are included in the Appendices. This report was jointly prepared by the following three Filipino human rights NGOs: PREDA Foundation. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, Preda Foundation, Inc., was founded in 1974 in Olongapo City.

  • A Muddled Democracy – “People Power” Philippine Style

The coalition that had lobbied and demonstrated for the ouster of her predecessor, President Joseph Estrada, accused of graft and corruption, heralded her ascension to the presidency as an example of “People Power”. Speaking in Beijing on that day, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said it was a “victory for democracy”.2 Was it a victory for democracy? What do the events of January tell us about the state of democracy in the Philippines? Can we expect a new era of “good governance” fighting corruption which has now become one of the key prescriptions for developing countries promoted by international agencies like the World Bank and our own government? What does President Macapagal-Arroyo’s new government look like and what sort of economic policy and programme is likely to emerge from it? These are the questions I would like to address this evening. The Events Leading up to Estrada’s Removal from Office Joseph Estrada made his fame as an action film star and cut his spurs in politics as the Mayor of Metro Manila’s San Juan City allied to the strongman President Ferdinand Marcos.

    DISSERTATION Titel der Dissertation „The Politics of Population Policy-Making in the Philippines: Insights from the Population and Reproductive Health Legislative Proposals“ Verfasserin Violeda A. Umali, BA MA MA angestrebter akademischer Grad Doktorin der Philosophie (Dr. Phil.) Wien, 2010 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 092 300 Dissertationsgebiet lt. Studienblatt: Politikwissenschaft Betreuer 1: Mag. DDr. Werner ZIPS ao. Univ.-Prof. Betreuer 2: Ass.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Josef MELCHIOR This page intentionally left blank Abstract This study examines the interplay of actors and institutions involved in the deliberations/ debates on the legislative proposals on population and/or reproductive health filed in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Philippine Congresses. The legislative proposals constitute a key aspect of population policy-making, one of the most enduring and most high-profile policy advocacies in the Philippines. It is also one of the most contentious, being the site of intense competition between pro-choice and pro-life stakeholders. The broader goal of the study, therefore, is to tease out the enigma of population policy-making in the Philippines, thereby providing an explanation for the consistent dominance of the pro-life advocacy in the most important policy arena of all, the national legislature. The analysis is anchored on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice in general and his critique of the political field in particular, and on the propositions of Frank Baumgartner and his colleagues about policy advocacy and policy change. Key informant interviews with national- and local-level policy stakeholders and content analysis of relevant government documents, advocacy materials of stakeholders, technical papers, and media reports were undertaken to gather data about the national and international context of the population/reproductive health debate; the different stakeholders’ stand on the legislative proposals; and the arguments, tactics, and resources that the pro-choice and pro-life groups have harnessed for their respective advocacies.

  • Philippines at a Glance: 2001-02
    COUNTRY REPORT Philippines At a glance: 2001-02 OVERVIEW The resolution of the political crisis in January brought to power a new president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, backed by popular protest that enjoyed the co-operation of the leadership of the armed forces. Not everything is tied up, however, since the ousted president, Joseph Estrada, disputes Ms Arroyo’s legitimacy. The new regime should be more firmly bedded in after the May mid-term congressional elections, but the president will be under great political pressure to prove that she is “pro-poor” as well as an economic liberaliser. The Muslim and Communist insurgencies are likely to ease as peace negotiations, broken off under President Estrada, are resumed. Containing the fiscal deficit will be a priority in 2001, and reducing it the priority in 2002, which will reinforce the contractionary impact of much weaker external markets, keeping GDP growth below 3% in both years. Inflation will ease down from its 6-7% highs of early 2001 as the currency stabilises and domestic demand growth remains subdued. Merchandise trade will remain in surplus, but this will diminish as export growth weakens. Key changes from last month Political outlook • Political stability will not fully recover until the fate of former President Estrada is decided. The Supreme Court has, however, now ruled that he cannot make any further appeals contending that he is still president, although this may not be the end of the legal process. We expect the May congressional election to deliver a strong pro-administration majority in the lower house. Economic policy outlook • Despite short-term political constraints, the economic reform agenda will be resumed.
