Hence, the PhilCCAP1 subprojects are expected to bring about positive impacts not only to the projects but to the environmental conditions of the project sites as well, because they are designed according to the ecological sensitivities and community vulnerabilities of the project sites. Even though most of the PhilCCAP1
