EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. This Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) summarizes the Municipality of Bauko’s intent in addressing indigenous people’s concerns/ issues for the Rehabilitation of Tapapan-Lebao- Kwabeng Farm to Market Road. The proposed rural infrastructure subproject is located within the ancestral domain of Kabatangan Ancestral Domain Peoples Organization, which is recognized through the Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title CADT CAR-BAU-0709-122 (see Appendix A) issued by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP). 2. The subproject is Rehabilitation of Tapapan-Lebao-Kwabeng Farm to Market Road which is located in Barangay Tapapan, Bauko, Mountain Province. The proposed road for rehabilitation has a length of six (6) kilometers, pavement width of four (4) meters and road width of 5.50 meters 3. The local government (LGU) of Bauko, being the proponent, will implement the project. Construction will be through contract by bidding. LGU is the proponent (implementing agency) for this subproject. The total estimate cost of this subproject is PhP 30 million which will be financed from loan proceeds applied by the government and from local government unit. The proposed implementation duration is approximately 150 calendar days. 4. There are four (4) sitios in the influence area consisting of 449 households of which 95% or 426 are farming households. Its population as of 2016 is 2,623; 1,380 males and 1,243 females. Servicing an area of 225 hectares of agricultural land, the proposed rehabilitation of the road will not only benefit the populace of barangay Tapapan but also people who do farming activities from other places located in Bauko like barangays Leseb, Mabaay, Guinzadan Sur, Guinzadan Central, and Guinzadan Norte. 5. Striving towards uplifting the economic condition of the community, this subproject intends to improve the mobility of the rural community and their access to social services. This subproject not only benefits the farmers who regularly use the road in going to their farms, but also the students who frequently use the road in going to school. Senior citizens and pregnant mothers are also ensured of safe access without worrying about being in an accident because of slippery and risky road. 6. This road improvement will promote diversified agriculture and eco-tourism industry towards the Gameng ya Katagowan (Resources and Livelihood) program of the present administration. 7. If the road is improved and rehabilitated, it is expected that there will be a 35% decrease in the amount of time to deliver harvested products to the market. In line with this, it is anticipated that there will be a 50% increase in the income of farmers as a result of savings in hauling expenses. In like manner, this intervention would eventually maximize these production areas to produce more yields and possible establishments of other income generating projects. Major crops produced in the area include rice potato, carrots and cabbage. 8. In line with the nation’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1, it is the desire of the community and the municipality as a whole to have accessible roads that would greatly contribute in the improvement of livelihood of the populace and the eventual decrease of the area’s poverty incidence. 1 9. The project will not harm the environment, will not cause involuntary resettlement, and will not adversely affect the indigenous peoples as presented in the checklist for social and environmental safeguards. 10. The Borrower is required to prepare an Indigenous People’s Plan to protect, and ensure benefits for, indigenous Peoples affected by the Project.
