359 Creation of Provincial Statistics Committees

365 Domestic Product, and sustaining the Community-Based Monitoring System

626
627 Batangas State University (BatStateU) conducted a policy research study
628 entitled, “Registration, Accreditation and Franchising for Transport Cooperatives
629 in the Philippines: A Review of Policy Documents”. The Study presented issues

636 transport cooperatives, and review the one-route-one-operator-one-franchise
637 scheme of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).

962 ARD Gacusan said that only 103 PPAs out of 130 PPAs of RDC-endorsed were

997 S. Regional Economic Situationer
998
999 ARD Gacusan presented the CALABARZON Fourth Quarter 2020 Regional
1000 Economic Situationer.
1001
1002 The CALABARZON regional economy decelerated in 2019 with 4.5 percent
1003 growth compared to 7.1 percent growth in 2018. Deceleration is mainly due to
1004 slower growth in industry sector from 8.3 percent in 2018 to 3.1 percent in 2019.
1005
1006 As per contribution to the National Output, the Gross Regional Domestic Product
1007 (GRDP) share of CALABARZON for 2019 is 15 percent, compared to 2018
1008 which was at 17 percent. CALABARZON still comes second biggest contributor
1009 to the National Output next to the National Capital Region.
1010
1011 However, the Region was not able to meet its GRDP growth target for 2019
1012 (Target = 5.5 percent to 7.2 perent; Actual = 4.5 percent).
1013
1014 Other details are in the e-presentation sent by the Secretariat to all the
1015 members.
1016
1017 Chair Mandanas encouraged the members to refocus their PPAs in 2021 and
1018 further review the PPAs under the 2022 budget proposals in providing more
1019 meaningful impacts for economic recovery. He also recommended looking into
1020 the possibility of increasing the Investment Promotions Group funds to help
1021 those who lost their jobs but looking for work, to assist in reviving micro, small
1022 and medium enterprises, and to implement other PPAs that will help revive the
1023 economy of the Region and of the country as a whole.
1024
1025 On motion duly seconded, the body adopted the CALABARZON Fourth Quarter
1026 2020 Regional Economic Situationer.

SPECIAL REGIONAL COMMITTEE ON
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Proposal on Food Share Program in CALABARZON

As of May 18, 2021
I. Background
In 2018, CALABARZON’s poverty incidence among population and among families
was one of the lowest among regions in the country. At 7.1 percent and 5 percent,
respectively, it was lower than the national average and was the second lowest
next to the National Capital Region. In terms of subsistence incidence or the
percentage of families who could not afford basic food needs, the Region recorded
a 1 percent level in 2018.
While the Region is on track in reducing poverty and hunger, the emergence of
Corona virus disease (COVID-19) in 2020 posed a challenge in the progress made.
Restrictions in economic activities to curb the spread of the virus resulted to
displacement of workers and reduction of income. This will affect the families’ food
security that may result to increase in hunger and malnutrition.
The survey of the Social Weather Stations (SWS) in 2020 showed that 21.1
percent of Filipinos experienced involuntary hunger which was twice compared in
2019 at 9.3 percent2. Moreover, the rapid nutrition assessment survey of the Food
and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) in November 3 to December 3, 2020
showed that 62.13 percent of Filipino families experienced moderate to severe food
insecurity. To address hunger, Filipinos households either purchased food through
credit, asked assistance from relatives or neighbours or adults limited food intake in
favor of children.
To help address hunger and ensure nutrition of income-vulnerable families, a Food

Share Program is being proposed in CALABARZON through a multi-sector
approach. The program will help in food security of beneficiary communities and
open opportunities for a livelihood source. Key government agencies will be
requested to actively support the implementation of the program in selected areas
in the Region.
The Program will also support the Pilipinas Kontra Gutom 4 which is a multi-sectoral
national movement organized to help in eradicating hunger and malnutrition in the
country by 2030 through improving food production and distribution, repurposing
food surplus, curbing malnutrition, and reducing hunger incidence caused by
crises.
II. Objectives
The Food Share program aims to:
a. ensure food security of families severely affected by COVID-19 to avoid hunger

and malnutrition;

b. provide opportunities for livelihood source;
c. encourage the private sector to take part in the implementation and
sustainability of the program; and
d. establish goodwill among different sectors of society.
III. Scope and Target Areas
The program will be implemented in 2021 and will target a total of 50

sites/barangays in selected cities and municipalities in the Region. Each
site/barangay will have 30 families who will be given assistance for the period of six
months. One barangay in Lipa City and Ibaan in Batangas; Pila, Paete, and Bińan
City in Laguna; and Trece Martires City in Cavite were the initial identified project
sites.
Recommended areas to be considered include barangays that are covered by the

Development Projects of the Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed
Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) and areas covered by DSWD Region IV-A’s supplemental
feeding program.
The families will be selected based on the need and their willingness to do
backyard or community gardening. Their commitment in taking part in this program
will also be determined.
IV. Activities
Implementation of the program will be comprised of the following activities:
a. connect to target LGUs and engage the local social service office in the
implementation of the program by the program proponent in partnership with
DSWD and Kabisig ng Kalahi
b. Dialogue with concerned barangay officials will be conducted and profiles of in
need and interested families will be collected for consideration
c. Endorsement of the list of selected families to the local service office and
Kabisig ng Kalahi by the concerned Barangay
d. Assess the list and identify the final 30 families to benefit from the program with
a team from Kabisig ng Kalahi, Inc.
e. monitoring the progress of each family by a selected leader among the family
beneficiaries
f. oversee the program in the concerned community by barangay nutrition
scholars/health workers or volunteers
g. Enter to a memorandum of understanding to outline the duties and
responsibilities by concerned parties
h. Develop communication channel among concerned parties to facilitate
monitoring and addressing the issues and concerns that may arise in the
implementation of the program
i. Assess the sustainability of the backyard/community garden upon completion of
the six month implementation period and determine other assistance needed to
ensure that the community can sustainably manage the garden by the Kabisig
ng Kalahi, Inc. in partnership with the local social service office. Aside from
planting crops, livestock raising will also be considered if deemed viable.
69
V. Partners
Kabisig ng Kalahi, Inc. will implement the program in partnership with DSWD and
local government units. DA, DOST, TESDA, and other private sector groups may
conduct other separate and supporting activities upon common agreement.
DA’s expertise in proper planting and provision of appropriate inputs such as seeds
and fertilizers will be provided to the families to ensure that materials being used
are of good quality and proper planting and growth of crops and livestock.
In addition, a trainee/graduate of TESDA may be requested to provide technical

assistance to the families/communities. The interested trainee/graduate may be
given with honorarium/allowance in exchange to the technical assistance provided
to families. TESDA may also provide a scholarship on agriculture courses to a
member of the participating families who was able to complete high school but
cannot afford to continue tertiary education.
To open opportunities in transforming the harvested crops into a livelihood source,

DOST Region IV-A will assist in subjecting the crops into research and
development (R&D) to determine processes that can prolong shelf life and provide
value addition. The agency will also assist in providing access to the needed
equipment. Food Innovation Centers located in the University of Los Bańos,
Laguna State Polytechnic University, and Batangas State University can conduct
the R&D.
Private individuals and organizations may also provide assistance through in-kind
donations to the communities covered by the program. Kabisig ng Kalahi, Inc. will
further enrich engagement with other government agencies and private individuals
and organizations to make the program sustainable and to reach more
beneficiaries in the future, if possible.
VI. Funding
Kabisig ng Kalahi, Inc. will allocate a minimum of PHP100,000 for the 30 families in
each barangay. To cover the 50 sites/barangays, a total of PHP 5 million will
be allocated.
