PROGRAM/PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

Module 1

1. Do you agree that feasibility studies are indispensable component of

any program/ project? Why?

I agree that Feasibility Studies are indispensible component of any

project/program, because it is an analysis done to determine the viability of a

project from an economical, legal and technical perspective. It gives an insight

into whether a project is doable or worth the investment. It offers insights on

the description of the project, resource allocation, accounting statements,

financial data, legal requirements and tax obligations. It helps to determine

whether the project is both possible and profitable for the company to

undertake. Hence, this study is mandatorily done before technical

development and project execution.

Parts of a Project Feasibility:

a. Marketing Aspects- to determine the extent to which the goods/services

to be generated by the project are demanded or needed, and to design the

appropriate marketing strategies and plans that will help ensure that the

project’s outputs will reach and be accepted by the target users.

b. Technical Aspects-provides information on the minimum economic size

which is then related to the market study to determine whether the

projected supply gap will, in economic terms, justify the project. It attempts

to determine how well the technical requirements can be met in terms of

 location, size, basic technical features, resource requirements, and

phasing of implementation among others.

c. Financial Aspects - assessment of the project’s commercial profitability

and capability to service its obligation.

d. Socio-Economic Aspects - in most projects, whether from the

government or private sector, there are basic economic choices to be

made with regard to the allocation of their resources (financial resources

as in most cases). Various factors which will affect the size and

composition of investments have to be considered before deciding on a

project that will be most beneficial for the identified sectors of society.

e. Organization and Management - the organizational study is concerned

with how and by whom the project should be executed and operated so as

to establish responsibility and accountability. The establishment of an

efficient organization and management is o0ne of the most important

decisions that project proponent must consider in project preparation.

f. Operational Aspects - the operational aspects is the last component of

the feasibility study. Although a project is shown to be feasible from the

market, technical, financial, and economic viewpoint, other non-

quantifiable but equally important factors may impinge upon the process of

project implementation and operation. These include political, local, socio-

cultural, institutional and other factors.

2. Do we always need to consult the beneficiaries of any project before

proceeding? Why?
 Isolation and treatment facility for temporary detentions, police lockups

and swab/rapid test for newly arrested person. Police stations requested and

proposed this project to prevent and control the rampant spread of the Corona

Virus not only not only in the cities but for entire country as well. The PNP

often coordinates and attend regular meeting with the LGU regarding on this

project. The LGU agreed and thought that this kind of project will be very

useful and effective to prevent the spread of the said virus especially in

detention cells or facilities and lockups because infectious disease like

COVID-19 poses a higher risk to people who live in close proximity to one

another. However, due to lack of financial, technical, operational aspects from

LGU, the project failed to execute. My opinion regarding on this project, the

LGU must not neglected it that it would be disastrous not only in detention

cells or lockups but for the entire city. It is the Government responsibility to

provide measures to protect the physical and mental health of detainees, so it

must be done and execute for the benefits of the community.

3. Identify some program/ projects in your own locality that failed or those

that were started but they did not reach their completion stage. What are

your opinions regarding these projects? Why these projects do failed

and did not bring any benefits to the people?

The City of Manila made a program on housing project for the

relocation of all demolished squatters in Manila area, due to the lack of

financial support from the national government/ NGO’s and lack of community
 interest. The project/ program is failed to do so, for me as a law enforcer this

program is very important, it would minimize the street crimes in the City.

The reason why this project/ program failed and did not bring any benefits to

the people because it is not an income generated project. The residents need

a livelihood program to help in their everyday need in life.

MODULE 2

Part 1
1. Do you agree that programs when transformed into projects are

considered to be the building blocks of development?

Yes, I agree. Projects are the basic building blocks of development.

Without successful project identification, preparation and implementation,

development plans are no more than wishes and developing nations would

remain stagnant or regress. Projects claims as the “cutting Edge” of

developing.

2. What are development potentials? Enumerate at least four (4)

development potentials in locality and reason out why, you consider

them as such.

Development Potentials are:

A. Quality Education
B. Social justice, inter – and – intra generational and spatial
equality
C. Peace and order and national unity
D. Sustainable population
E. Gender sensitivity
 F. Viable, sound and broad – Based Economic Development
G. National Sovereignty
H. Rehabilitation of infrastructure
I. Development of Natural and Human Resources

Four (4 Development Potentials in our Locality)

1. Quality Education – to provide a well – rounded education that will

support each individual in society to attain his or her potential as human

being, and improve the range and quality of the individuals with in the

group. To develop high level professions that will provide leadership for

the nation, advance knowledge through research and apply new

knowledge for improving the quality of life.

2. Peace and Order and National – police visibility (fixed post and mobile

patrol) for prevention of crime and arrest the lawless elements with the

active support of the community. Weak governance is recognized as a key

constant to sustained economic growth and poverty reduction in the

country. However, as a strong democratic republic, the government has

been able to initiate a number of governance reforms. The Philippines has

a vibrant private sector and an active civil society, both important partners

in development.

3. Rehabilitation of Infrastructure – construction of new hospitals,

schools and government housing. Especially housing to meet the needs of

one of the must populated places will be undertaken, not to omit the

requirement for the rehabilitation of infrastructure, all of them multi – family

dwellings, have been demolished.

 4. Development Natural and Human Resources – people use resources

every day at home/ school/ work, and in the community. Productive

resources are things that are used to make goods and provide services.

Our country has strong potential for development because of its natural

and human resources.

3. Projects when conceived do not necessarily mean they are

implementable. What must be done to ensure that a project is can be

successfully implemented?

Yes, project implementation is perhaps the most important stage of the

project development cycle. There are some factors which may lead to project

failure. For example, inadequate or incomplete identification, poor

preparation, poor technical judgments, poor management and lack of skills,

outside factors, strong conflicts that paralyzed project implementation and

failure to adequately program resolve inputs such as budget.

To ensure that a project is successfully implemented by sound project

identification of the possible problem, analysis and preparation/ planning to

pave the way for smooth implementation of projects

Barangay Chairman

II. Background/Setting of the Community:

Barangay 657 (Masaya), Zone 70 is one of the five barangays located at

Intramuros, Manila that is based in District V. The barangay surrounds the streets:
Cabildo, Gen. Luna, Magallanes, Potenciana, Recolletos, Solana and Victoria. In this
barangay, significant and historical infrastructures can be seen. From the west, the
Pandiman Philippines Inc. and Philippine Commission for Culture and Arts are
located. To the northeast the San Agustin Museum and Knights of Columbus
Fraternal Association of the Philippines, Inc. can be seen and from the southeast is
the Philippine Red Cross Intramuros Chapter. The barangay consists of 15,000
people according to Barangay’s Profile. The total land area of Barangay 657 is 3
hectares. Some areas of this said barangay are clean but some areas are dirty,
damp and are full of feces of stray dogs, most of which are seen at the squatter
along Magallanes St. and a depressed compound along Potenciana St. The
ventilation in some areas is inadequate because these are compressed. The
medium of communication of the people is Filipino. Mostly pedicabs and tricycles are
used for transportation. The community has a market, a public toilet, sari-sari stores
almost close to each other and its barangay hall is well maintained. Pharmacy in the
community is limited. There are also several canteens, eateries and restaurants in it.
The community is also close to the churches San Agustin and Immaculate
Conception Cathedral and also to Manila High School.
III. Beneficiaries: Residents of Barangay Masaya

IV. Project Objectives:

The “Parmasya ng Pamayanan” program aims to provide access to free essential

medicines for common diseases in the community targeting indigents and the marginalized

sectors of the population.  It aims to deliver free access to basic medicines when needed

and that quality essential medicines be accessible and affordable for all the people in

Barangay Masaya.

Specific Objective:

If approved, this project will be able to:

1. Provide accessible health care assistance among the people in the community.

2. Help people in maximizing and make use of the services available in the

pharmacy.

3. Increase health care awareness in the community.

4. Increase health compliance of the community by providing affordable and low-cost

medications.

V. Project Description:

A. Project Components

The proposed project is a joint venture and must be reviewed thoroughly by the

barangay council and the local government unit.

The community’s barangay council must be able to counterpart and allocate a

percent of funds that would help sustain the quality and the efficiency of the facilities. In

coordination with the local government unit headed by the municipal mayor, they must find a

way to obtain sponsorship to avail free medicines from the Department of Health.

All the profit earned by the pharmacy will be used for maintenance and for

emergency purposes among the barangay constituents as well. The barangay health worker,
the chairman on health, women, and education, together with the barangay treasurer

spearheaded by the barangay captain will be the ones responsible in managing,

consolidating, and allocating the funds.

Upon the pharmacy’s construction, the barangay council should consult the municipal

engineer, in this way it could be a great help for them to have a blueprint on the kind of

establishment they will construct.   

B. Projects Inputs

Lead Organizer – Barangay Chairman, Barangay Masaya

Youth Organizations – SK Chairman & Council Barangay Masaya

C. Monitoring and Evaluation Scheme

The pharmacy must be monitored by the barangay council in cooperation with the

local government unit. The sales/profit must be counterchecked from time to time to avoid

discrepancies and possible loses. Receipts must always be kept by the person in charge on

that day. During monthly sessions, the barangay council must include the concerns of the

pharmacy that must be improved and maintain to evaluate the progress of the project. It is

also important that people must give their support to preserve integrity and feasibility.
