Amount; $22.4 million equivalent (including capitalized front-end fee)./l Terms: Repayable in 20 years, including 5 years of grace, with interest at 11.60% per annum. Relending Terms. $12 million of the loan proceeds would be relent by the Borrower to SEATI with the same grace and repayment period and at the same interest rate as the Bank loan. Interest accrued during the grace period would be capitalized. The Government would bear the foreign exchange risk and the corporation would pay a foreign exchange risk fee. The balance of the loan would be allocated by the Government to the Ministry of Natural Resources for institution building. Project Description: The proposed project is designed to help municipal (small- scale) fishermen, and to improve sector management through institution-building activities. To achieve its first objective, the project would assist municipal fishermen in one of the poorest regions of the Philippines (Masbate/ Ticao Pass/Western Samar) through the establishment of marketing facilities for the efficient collection, transport and distribution of fish, and the provision of input supplies. To meet the second objective, the project would strengthen the three fisheries agencies of the Ministry of Natural Resources - the Philippine * Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA), the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), and the Fishery Industry Development Council (FIDC). Project funds would finance (a) an area development subproject, comprising the construction of physical facilities in seven sites, including landing areas, jetties, ice plants, offices, auction halls, bulk fuel storage and related facilities /1 Front-end fee amounts to $331,034. This document has a restricted distribution and may be used by recipients only in the performance of their official duties, Its contents may not otherwise be disclosed without World Bank authorization. - ii - Project and the provision of carrier boats, vehicles and input Description. supplies, and (b) training programs, technical assistance (cont'd) and vehicles for PFDA, BFAR and FIDC. The area development subproject would be implemented by SEATI and operated under private management. The project would benefit directly about 2,500 participating small-scale fishermen who would realize higher incomes for their catch through better marketing, improved quality of fish, reduced spoilage and, to some extent, increases in productivity from the integration of input supplies with market outlets. The strengthening of the operations of the fisheries agencies would lead to improved policy direction in fisheries development, better assessment and management of fisheries resources, improved research and extension, and more effective enforcement of fish conservation regulations. The main risks associated with the proposed project are: (a) the innovative approach to establishing the corporation to implement the development subproject; (b) the present weakness of the fisheries agencies; (c) the lack of reliable data on existing fish resources which are believed to be over-exploited; and (d) the sensitivity of the benefits of the motorized fishing craft to relatively small decreases in the price of fish. To address the first issue, the Government has contracted with a competent private firm, experienced in fish marketing, to manage the corporation. To address the second issue, the project provides for a comprehensive program to strengthen the existing institutions. The third issue would be addressed in the project throughiprovisLons for improved fishery resource surveys, marine studies and strengthening of the marine enforcement and conservation capabilities of BFAR to ensure a more orderly exploitation of resources. Historically, revenue from fish sales has increased more than inflation and the risk associated with price sensitivity is not expected to be great. In addition, motorized crafts are a small component, and returns to the corporation are much less sensitive to changes in revenues. Although the risks associated with the project are high, Bank support is justified because of the extreme poverty of the project beneficiaries; in addition, municipal fishermen have so far received little effective assistance from the Government. - iii - Estimated Cost: Foreign Local Total …---- ($ million) = Area Development 4.6 8.4 13.0 BFAR 3.8 1.6 5.4 PFDA 1.4 0.5 1.9 FIDC 0.7 0.3 1.0 Studies by MNR - 0.5 0.5 Total Base Cost Estimate 10.5 11.3 21.8 e~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Physical Contingency 0.6 0.8 1.4 Expected Price Increases 5.4 8.0 13.4 Total Cost /1 16.5 20.1 36.6 Front-end fee 0.4 - 0.4 Total Financing Requirements 16.9 20.1 37.0 Financing Plan: Foreign Local Total - ($ million)… IBRD 16.5 5.5 22.0 Government/PFDA - 14.3 14.3 Private Participant - 0.2 0.2 Subborrowers - 0.1 0.1 Total 16.5 20.1 36.6 Front-end fee .4 - .4 Total Financing Requirements 16.9 20.1 37.0 Estimated Disbursements; Bank FY FY83 FY84 FY85 FY86 FY87 FY88 FY89 FY90 --------------- ($ million ) --------------- Annual 1.1 2.4 4.3 5.2 3.9 3.7 1.7 0.1 Cumulative 1.1 3.5 7.8 13.0 16.9 20.6 22.3 22.4 Economic Rate of Return: 24% and 36% for the area development corporation and motorized fishing boats, respectively.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONOF THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTIONAND DEVELOPMENT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSED LOAN TO THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES FOR A NATIONAL FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT PROJECT a~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. I submit the following report and recommendation on a proposed loan to the Republic of the Philippines for the equivalent of $22.4 million to help finance a national fisheries development project. The loan, which includes a capitalized front-end fee of 1.5% on the Bank loan, would have a term of 20 years, including 5 years of grace, with interest at 11.60% per annum. Part of the loan proceeds, $12 million, would be relent by the Government to a fisheries corporation at the same interest rate and over the same grace and repayment periods as the Bank loan. The Government would bear the foreign exchange risk, and the corporation would pay a foreign exchange risk fee to the Government. The balance of the loan would be allocated by the Government to the Ministry of Natural Resources for the institution-building component. PART I - THE ECONOMY /1 2. An economic report, entitled "The Philippines: Domestic and External Resources for Development" (No. 2674-PH), was distributed to the Executive Directors under SecM79-822, dated November 16, 1979.

  • Movement of Water Across Passages Connecting Philippine Inland Sea Basins
    Meñez, Villanoy and David Movement of Water Across Passages Connecting Philippine Inland Sea Basins Lambert Anthony B. Meñez*, Cesar L. Villanoy and Laura T. David Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines, Diliman, QC 1101 Contact no.: 632/922-3921; Mobile: 0919/319-5974 Email: [email protected] Date submitted: March 2, 2006; Date accepted: November 6, 2006 ABSTRACT Advection of Pacific water to the inland seas is through a number of straits bordering the archipelago. Movement of water was demonstrated by temperature-salinity diagrams plotted for a number of stations situated along the various passages. As water from the Pacific flowed through the straits its characteristic T-S profile was modified as it mixed with waters of different properties. This was best seen along the San Bernardino-Verde Island transect where strong surface flow during the NE monsoon resulted in separation of profiles at the surface indicating dilution as water moved away from the source. For deeper water, the erosion of the subsurface salinity minimum and maximum representing the core of the intermediate waters showed transport. These waters were restricted by shallow sill along the eastern coast of the country and limited to a depth of 441m by the sill across the Mindoro Strait. Keywords: temperature, salinity, water mass, inland sea, T-S profile, water transport INTRODUCTION 40 Water masses are identified by their characteristic NPTW combination of properties (Pickard and Emery, 1990). 30 From temperature and salinity alone, four different water masses in the upper 1000m (Fig. 1) are found around the Philippine archipelago (Udarbe-Walker et TSW al, 2003; Amedo et al., 2002; Qu et al., 1998; Bingham 20 and Lukas, 1995; Fine et al., 1994).
