    39386 Public Disclosure Authorized Paper No. 102 / January 2007 Public Disclosure Authorized Measuring the Costs and Benefits of Community Driven Development: The KALAHI-CIDSS Project, Philippines Public Disclosure Authorized Eduardo Araral Camilla Holmemo Public Disclosure Authorized Summary Findings The main focus of this analysis is the economic impacts of the KALAHI-CIDSS project. It looks at the costs and benefits of seven major subproject (SP) categories that cover 1,175 completed and ongoing subprojects (e.g., domestic water supply [both pump and gravity], roads construction and improvement, elementary school buildings, barangay health centers, and day care centers). These seven major categories accounted for 82 percent of total subproject costs. The main findings from the analysis are: 1. The Project overall is economically beneficial. Based on available information and plausible assumptions, the Project overall will generate a conservatively estimated economic internal rate of return of 21 percent and a net present value of Philippine peso (PHP) 1.03 billion. It is therefore considered economically beneficial. The rates of return for the subprojects ranged from 16 percent for day care centers to 65 percent for water supply projects. These results are conservative, considering that other benefits and subprojects were not examined, including benefits from investments to strengthen community participation and local governance. 2. The Project overall is sensitive to a 20 percent increase in costs and 20 percent benefit reduction, with some subprojects more sensitive than others. For the major subproject categories, we show that rates of return for road improvement and school building subprojects are highly sensitive to a 20 percent increase in costs; they are moderately sensitive for health and day care centers, and are not as sensitive for water supply (gravity and pump) and new road construction.

    THE EXPERIENCE from EASTERN SAMAR by Jose Eleazar R

    COASTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: THE EXPERIENCE FROM EASTERN SAMAR by Jose Eleazar R. Bersales Introduction There is a growing body of literature worldwide addressing strategies to manage local marine resources (Pomeroy, 1994). This appeared as a result of the alarming decline of fish catch pointed out by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other numerous independent studies (McGoodwin, 1990). At the close of the millennium, we are seeing the effects of decades of unregulated fishing in so many parts of the world. The Philippines has not been spared and suffers from the combined effects of overfishing and the use of illegal fishing gears and techniques. There is, however, a great deal of effort going on in many parts of the country discussing and actually implementing participatory strategies in coastal resources management. In Eastern Samar, the Guiuan Development Foundation, Inc. (GDFI) is concentrating its efforts to implement a community-based management strategy for the area’s coastal ecosystem. This ecosystem is characterized in a 1990 study undertaken by the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD) as exhibiting the following main features: • low fish density and abundant species indicating depauperation of reef fish populations; • live coral cover of only 20%; and, • productive areas limited either to deep waters or to reef areas far away from the main islands (FPE, 1992). The bleak picture has been brought about by extensive habitat destruction and heavy fishing pressure. The use of dynamite, sodium, and cyanide to increase fish catch, as well as the destruction of mangrove forests for fuel wood use, have largely contributed to this prevailing condition.

    The Socio-Economic Impact of the Help for Catubig Agricultural Advancement Project (Hcaap)

    [Ocaña *, Vol.7 (Iss.5): May 2019] ISSN- 2350-0530(O), ISSN- 2394-3629(P) DOI: https://doi.org/10.29121/granthaalayah.v7.i5.2019.830 Social THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE HELP FOR CATUBIG AGRICULTURAL ADVANCEMENT PROJECT (HCAAP) Eduardo L. Ocaña Jr. *1 *1 Department of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Communication, University of Eastern Philippines, Catarman, Northern Samar, Philippines 6400 Abstract Development must not only focus on economic growth expressed in rosy figures of GDP and GNP. The economic gains of the rich as expected by economists, must “trickle down” down to the grass roots. It is along this reality that prompted the national government and development planners to look for strategy in which the marginalized which constitute the biggest number of the population in the Third World countries become recipients of development initiatives. Northern Samar, one of the poorest provinces in the Philippines, has been a recipient of the Help for Catubig Agricultural Advancement Project (HCAPP), a project of 5.2 billion yen or 3.4 billion in pesos allocating 2.4 billion pesos alone to irrigate 4, 550 hectares of agricultural lands to spur agricultural development in the Catubig Valley area of Northern Samar. This research aimed to determine the level of socio-economic impact of the HCAAP and related problems. The areas covered by the HCAAP were the Municipalities of Catubig and Las Navas both located in the Catubig Valley. A descriptive-evaluative study, utilized quantitative techniques like survey employing interview schedule for data collection and analyses. The respondents were beneficiaries from Municipality of Catubig, and Las Navas.

However, the vast mangrove areas of the country have declined to about half of its cover in the past century. In the 1970s, action was taken to protect the remaining mangrove forests under a government initiative, recognizing the ecological benefits mangrove forests can bring. Here, we examine two mangrove areas in the Philippines—Coron in Palawan and Balangiga-Lawaan in Eastern Samar over a 30-year period. Sets of Landsat images from 1987 to 2016 were classified and spatially analyzed using four landscape metrics. Additional analyses of the mangrove areas’ spatiotemporal dynamics were conducted. The impact of typhoon landfall on the mangrove areas was also analyzed in a qualitative manner. Spatiotemporal changes indicate that both the Coron and Balangiga-Lawaan mangrove forests, though declared as protected areas, are still suffering from mangrove area loss.
