DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (DA)

As stipulated in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016, Chapter 4, Competitive and Sustainable Agriculture and Fisheries
Sector, the agriculture and fisheries sector provides food and vital raw materials for the rest of the economy. As the sector grows and
modernizes, it releases surplus labor to the industry and services sectors. Rising productivity and efficiency in the sector are critical in
maintaining the affordability of food and purchasing power, especially among the poor. The sector's development is therefore vital in
achieving inclusive growth and poverty reduction as well as attaining the targets under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
MDGs are the world's time-bound and quantified targets for addressing extreme poverty in its many dimensions-income poverty,
hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, and exclusion-while promoting gender equality, education, and environmental sustainability.

MANDATE
The Department is the government agency responsible for the promotion of agricultural development by providing the policy
framework, public investments, and support services needed for domestic and export-oriented business enterprises.
In the fulfillment of this mandate, it shall be the primary concern of the Department to improve farm income and generate
work opportunities for farmers, fishermen and other rural workers. It shall encourage people's participation in agricultural
development through sectoral representation in agricultural policy-making bodies so that the policies, plans and programs of
the Department are formulated and executed to satisfy their needs.
It shall also use a bottom-up self-reliant farm system approach that will emphasize social justice, equity, productivity and
sustainability in the use of agricultural resources.

VISION
A modernized smallholder agriculture and fisheries; a diversified rural economy that is dynamic, technologically advanced
and internationally competitive. Its transformation is guided by the sound practices of resource sustainability, the principles
of social justice, and a strong private sector participation.

MISSION
To help and empower the farming and fishing communities and the private sector to produce enough, accessible and
affordable food for every Filipino and a decent income for all.

National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA)

VISION
By 2020, NAMRIA is the center of excellence by building a geospatially empowered Philippines
MISSION
To provide accurate, timely and accessible topographic maps, nautical charts, and other geospatial products and services.
============
NAMRIA envisions a highly-professionalized, technically advanced, globally competitive, and environment and natural resources
caring agency. Its mission is to generate and disseminate reliable and up-to-date geographic information and provide related services,
by employing state-of-the-art technology, in support to national development and security.
As provided for in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Administrative Order No. 31, series of 1988,
which prescribed the guidelines implementing Section 22 (a) of Executive Order 192, NAMRIA is mandated to provide the public
with mapmaking services and to act as the central mapping agency, depository, and distribution facility for natural resources data in
the form of maps, charts, texts, and statistics.
FUNCTION:
NAMRIA's core functions are:
Topographic Base Mapping
NAMRIA produces updated topographic base maps and thematic maps at various scales in support of the
governments development planning, environmental management, and multi-hazard mapping, among other
programs. Digital and cartographically enhanced largescale topographic maps (1:10,000 scale) provide more
detailed information on administrative boundaries, drainage systems, existing infrastructure, major establishments,
road networks, topography, vegetation, and other economic indicators showing the present development in the area
at barangay level. Similarly, medium and small-scale maps (1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scale) are support tools for
applications at municipal and provincial levels. Administrative maps indicate political boundaries of provinces and
regions of the country.
Development of the National Geodetic Network
Executive Order (EO) No. 45, s. 1993 (as amended by EO 280, s. 2000 and EO 321, s. 2004) mandates the use of
the Philippine Reference System of 1992 (PRS92) as the standard reference system for all surveying and mapping
activities in the country by CY 2010. NAMRIA is spearheading the implementation of PRS92 Project in
coordination with the DENR regional offices, particularly the Lands Management Bureau, the Forest Management
Services, and the Lands Management Services. The project aims to transform old maps and surveys into PRS92. It
also aims to upgrade the horizontal and vertical control networks of the country and ensure the reliability,
completeness, and accuracy of PRS92 as the national geodetic network. The other key activities of the project are
the upgrading and densification of geodetic control points, the conduct of leveling and gravity surveys, and the
installation and upgrading of tide monitoring stations.
Resource Assessment and Mapping
This function is aimed at compiling the latest data and statistics upon which environmental governance decisions
can be made to ensure Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) conservation, preservation and sustainable
development through innovative approaches that are economically sound and environmentally advantageous.
Hydrographic Surveys and Nautical Charting
NAMRIA is responsible for the surveying and charting of the countrys maritime zones/areas which are the
archipelagic waters, contiguous zone, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), Extended Continental Shelf (ECS), and
territorial sea. The agency regularly conducts hydrographic, bathymetric, oceanographic, and geophysical surveys
wherein marine geographic information are presented in the form of nautical charts, bathymetric maps, thematic
maps, tide and current tables, and special maritime publications. These are basic requisites for safe and efficient
maritime travel and trade, marine environmental protection, infrastructure engineering, military defense, and
scientific studies and researches. NAMRIA undertakes its survey activities utilizing its two multidisciplinary survey

vessels, BRP HYDROGRAPHER PRESBITERO and BRP HYDROGRAPHER VENTURA, which are equipped
with modern hydrographic, oceanographic, and navigational systems.
Delineation of Maritime Boundaries
A vital function of NAMRIA involves the delineation of the national maritime jurisdiction in accordance with the
provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). According to the UNCLOS, the
coastal state is allowed to submit an Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) claim of up to the maximum limit of 350
nautical miles from the baselines, or 100 nautical miles from the 2,500-meter depth curve. The ECS is rich in
mineral resources such as oil, natural gas, and hard mineral resources.
NAMRIA heads the interagency ECS-Technical Working Group (TWG) which is in charge of preparing the
Philippine entitlement documents for ECS. The ECS-TWG is headed by the DENR Secretary under the supervision
of the Commission on Maritime and Ocean Affairs (CMOA), Office of the President. NAMRIA likewise conducts
bathymetric, seismic, and gravity surveys covering potential sites for the countrys ECS claim.
Moreover, NAMRIA provided its technical expertise to the CMOA, the House of Representatives, and the Senate in
the successful passage of Republic Act number 9522 or the new Philippine Archipelagic Baselines Law. RA 9522 is
one of the key Philippine actions to comply with the UNCLOS provisions. The ECS limits are reckoned from the
baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.
Geographic Information Management
NAMRIA integrates geographic and resource data to facilitate their access, analysis, and conversion into useful
information. The agency develops and maintains databases and information systems and networks, packages
information materials, and disseminates geographic and resource information. The agency is in the forefront of
developing a national spatial data infrastructure (NSDI), a network of digital databases located throughout the
Philippines which collectively will provide the fundamental data needed for socioeconomic, human resource, and
environmental development objectives.
To date, the agency is establishing an internal spatial data infrastructure or NAMRIA SDI (nSDI) which would help
in advancing the national SDI development. The nSDI is an infrastructure that will facilitate the gathering, storage,
and distribution of spatial data across NAMRIA. It is an offshoot of the NAMRIA-Geoscience Australia
memorandum of understanding signed in August 2009 to strengthen spatial data development and delivery in the
Philippines.
LEGAL BASIS
Executive Order No. 192 (June 10, 1987) created the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA),
integrating into it the functions and powers of the Natural Resources and Management Center (NRMC), the National
Cartography Authority (NCA), the Bureau of Coast and Geodetic Survey (BCGS), and the Land Classification Teams of the
then Bureau of Forest Development (transformed into a Forest Management Bureau performing staff functions).
MANDATE
The National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) is the governments central mapping agency,
depository and distribution facility for natural resources data of the country. It is responsible for the establishment of a
nationwide geodetic network of control points that serves as common reference system for all surveys in the country. It
conducts research on remote sensing technologies and generates vital data/information on environment, land and water
resources needed by government agencies and other entities as the private sector and local government units for development
planning, environment and natural resource management, and delineation of maritime territories.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
The governance and policy direction of NAMRIA is provided by a five-member Board of Governors, and an Administration
who is assisted by three Administrators.
