DEFINITION OF TERMS
Ancestral - Refers to all areas generally belonging to ICCs/IPs comprising lands,

Domain inland waters, coastal areas, and natural resources therein, held under
a claim of ownership, occupied or possessed by ICCs/IPs, themselves
or through their ancestors, communally or individually since time
immemorial, continuously to the present except when interrupted by
war, force majeure or displacement by force, deceit, stealth or as a
consequence of government projects or any other voluntary dealings
entered into by government and private individuals, corporations, and
which are necessary to ensure their economic, social, and cultural
welfare. It includes land, forests, pasture, residential, agricultural, and
other lands individually owned whether in alienable and disposable or
otherwise, hunting grounds, burial grounds, worship areas, bodies of
water, mineral and other natural resources, and lands which may no
longer be exclusively occupied by ICCs/IPs but from which they
traditionally had access to for their subsistence and traditional
activities, particularly the home ranges of ICCs/IPs who are still
nomadic and/or who practice shifting cultivation. (Adopted from R.A.
8371 (IPRA)
Ancestral - The ADSDPP is a long-term community-based, comprehensive plan

Domain that contains the ICCs/IPs’ collective vision, mission, general
Sustainable objectives, long-term goals, and priority concerns. The ADSDPP
Development contains a list of development plans and projects that is used as
and Protection reference in determining the fit between a proposed infrastructure
Plan project and the long-term development goals and priority concerns of
(ADSDPP) the affected ICC/IP. Often interchanged with the ADB-IP Development
Plan (IPDP), but where ADSDPP is all encompassing, planning for
IPDP is limited to the ADB investment/project/subproject
Ancestral - Refers to land occupied, possessed and utilized by individuals, families

Lands and clans who are members of the ICCs/IPs since time immemorial, by
themselves or through their predecessors-in-interest, under claims of
individual or traditional group ownership, continuously, to the present
except when interrupted by war, force majeure or displacement by
force, deceit, stealth, or as a consequence of government projects and
other voluntary dealings entered into by government and private
individuals/corporations, including, but not limited to, residential lots,
rice terraces or paddies, private forests, swidden farms and tree lots.
(Adopted from R.A.8371)
Compensation - Means payment in cash or in kind for land, housing, income, and other
assets acquired or adversely affected by the Project. All compensation
is based on the principle of replacement cost, which is the method of
valuing assets to replace the loss at current market rates, plus any
transaction costs such as administrative charges, taxes, registration
and titling costs.
Certificate of - It is a document issued by NCIP attesting that the applicant or project

Precondition proponent has complied with the requirements for securing the consent
(CP) of affected ICCs/IPs I accordance to the Free, Prior and Informed
Consent Guidelines of 2006
3
Community - CMP describes the current community land use, potential development
Management map, investment plans (targets and activities) and includes all sub
Plan (CMP) projects to be funded under INREMP
Entitlement - Range of measures comprising compensation, income restoration

support, transfer assistance, income substitution and relocation
support which are due to affected people, depending on the nature and
severity of their losses, to restore their economic and social base.
Free and Prior - The consensus of all members of the affected IP group is to be
Informed determined in accordance with their respective customary laws and
Consent practices, free from any external manipulation, interference and
(FPIC) coercion, and obtained after fully disclosing the intent and scope of the
activity, in a language and process understandable and appropriate to
the community. Broad community support may exist even if some
individuals or groups object to the project
Indigenous - Refers to a group of people or homogenous societies identified by self-

People ascription and ascription by other, who have continuously lived as
organized community on communally bounded and defined territory,
and who have, under claims of ownership since time immemorial,
occupied, possessed customs, tradition and other distinctive cultural
traits, or who have, through resistance to political, social and cultural
inroads of colonization, non-indigenous religions and culture, became
historically differentiated from the majority of Filipinos. ICCs/IPs shall
likewise include peoples who are regarded as indigenous on account
of their descent from the populations which inhabited the country, at
the time of conquest or colonization, or at the time of inroads of non-
indigenous religions or cultures, or the establishment of present state
boundaries, who retain some or all of their own social, economic,
cultural and political institutions, but who may have been displaced
from their traditional domains or who may have resettled outside their
ancestral domains. (Adopted from R.A.8371)
Land - The process whereby a person is compelled to relinquish ownership,

Acquisition possession, control or use of all or part of their land, structures or
other assets to the Project in exchange for cash or in-kind
compensation. This includes land or assets for which the possessor
or user enjoys customary or uncontested access but lacks legal title.
For this Project, compensation is based on replacement cost.
Resettlement - All measures taken to mitigate any and all adverse impacts of a project
on AP property and/or livelihoods, including compensation, relocation
(where relevant), and rehabilitation as needed.
River Basin - A river basin is the portion of land drained by a river and its tributaries.
It encompasses the entire land surface dissected and drained by many
streams and creeks that flow downhill into one another, and eventually
into one river. The final destination is an estuary or an ocean
Watershed - A land area drained by a stream or fixed body of water and its tributaries
having a common outlet for surface runoff. It includes small watersheds
with an area of 10,000 hectares (ha) or less, medium-scale watersheds
of more than 10,000 ha up to 50,000 ha, and large
watersheds exceeding 50,000 ha.
4
Sub-watershed - Normally its boundary or divide is delineated topographically, following
the ridges in a landscape. However, its area can also be outlined based
on the bedrock formation that impacts groundwater. This divide is
called phreatic. The difficulty of groundwater study and the
convenience of using a contour map to outline the watershed boundary
resulted to the use of the topographic divide instead of the phreatic
divide. Inside a watershed, water is channeled through a network of
tributaries. Due to vast coverage of some watersheds, it is divided into
sub-watersheds. Watershed and sub-watershed is used
interchangeably in the INREMP context (Watershed Characterization
and Vulnerability Assessment using Geographic Information System-
DENR-FMB)
Watershed - Watershed management is the process of guiding and organizing land

Management and other resource uses in a watershed to provide desired goods and
services without adversely affecting soil, water and other natural
resources. The watershed management plan shall be holistic,
integrated and participatory. It shall fully take into account the well-
being of the affected communities, including the indigenous peoples
(DENR-DMC 2008-05)
Watershed - An operational plan developed in a participatory way with all

Management stakeholders concerned for a defined watershed that recognizes legal
Plan (WMP) tenurial rights and defines the uses for land and other resources in the
watershed to provide desired goods and services without adversely
affecting soil, water, and other natural resources. It establishes an
investment schedule for financial and other resource inputs to improve
the productivity of the land with a 5-year rolling program of activities.
The watershed management plan is consistent with the watershed and

ecosystems management framework designed (i) to strengthen
convergence and collaboration between and among various agencies
and other stakeholders; (ii) develop and maintain an effective database
management system for watershed information; and (iii) to upgrade the
technical and operational capabilities of DENR, LGUs and other
stakeholders for the sustainable development of watershed. It
describes the current land use, potential development, define and
prioritize sub-projects and established a work program for
implementation of LGU clusters and municipal development councils.
WMPs are institutionalized and adopted by LGUs.
Upland - Land area located on slopes of more than 18%
Upper River - The upstream portions of a river basin where the headwaters of
Basin streams and rivers emanate, consisting of lands with moderate to very
steep slopes and medium-to-high elevations relative to the river basin
valley

Executive Summary
The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project (INREMP) is

a seven-year development initiative (2013-2020) executed by the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR) through the Forest Management Bureau (FMB). INREMP aims
to address the unsustainable watershed management in four (4) priority river basins: (i) the Chico
River Basin (CURB) in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Northern Luzon; (ii) the Wahig–
Inabanga River Basin (WIRB) on the island of Bohol; (iii) the Lake Lanao River Basin (LLRB) in
the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao; and (iv) the Upper Bukidnon River Basin (BURB)
in Bukidnon, Northern Mindanao.
A semi-annual report on Environment and Social Safeguards is submitted to ADB as part

of compliance to ADB Loan Agreement and in reference to ADB SPS 2009 and INREMP’s RF,
IPPF and EARF. This report is the first of the 2 semi-annual report for 2019, covering the period
of January to June 2019.
INREMP is currently facilitating 60 rural infrastructure, 242 NRM and LES subprojects in
various stages. Social and environment safeguards documents such as social and environment
safeguards analysis, minutes of public consultations, involuntary resettlement (IR), indigenous
peoples (IP) and rapid environmental assessment (REA) checklists and waivers and quitclaims,
environmental impact assessment (EIA)/ environmental management plan (EMP),
environmental , environmental compliance certificate (ECC)/ certificate of non-coverage (CNCs),
cutting permits (as applicable) are appended to subproject documents (SPDs) submitted to ADB for
issuance of no-objection letter (NOL). As category A in IP, Category B for Involuntary Resettlement
and in Environment, rural infrastructure subprojects prepare IPPs and IEEs respectively. These
safeguards documents are cleared and disclosed at ADB website.
Subprojects under implementation are monitored regularly. Safeguard monitoring tools

have been prepared to assist and facilitate monitoring at people’s organization (PO), local
government units (LGUs) and implementing units’ level. These monitoring tools take off from
INREMPs safeguard frameworks: resettlement framework (RF), indigenous peoples’ framework
(IPPF)
Social Safeguards compliance and monitoring results and findings, including grievance
redress mechanism are discussed in this document. Public participation and consultation,
capacity building and institutional arrangements are also included.

A. Background of the Report and Project Description
1. The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project (INREMP) is

a seven-year development initiative (2013-2020) executed by the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR) through the Forest Management Bureau (FMB). INREMP aims
to address the unsustainable watershed management in four (4) priority river basins: (i) the Chico
River Basin (CURB) in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Northern Luzon; (ii) the Wahig–
Inabanga River Basin (WIRB) on the island of Bohol; (iii) the Lake Lanao River Basin (LLRB) in
the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao; and (iv) the Upper Bukidnon River Basin (BURB)
in Bukidnon, Northern Mindanao.
2. INREMP impact will be improved condition of watersheds generating livelihood

benefits in the four URBs covering at least 24 watersheds in four (4) regions composed of nine
provinces, 81 municipalities and approximately 1,332 barangays. The outcome will be increased
rural household incomes and local government unit (LGU) revenues in selected watersheds in
the four URBs. INREMP has 4 outputs: (1) River basin and watershed management and
investment plans established; (2) Smallholder and institutional investments in conservation
increased and URB productivity enhanced in the forestry, agriculture and rural sectors. (3) River
basin and watershed management capacity and related governance mechanisms strengthened.
(4) Project management and support services delivered.
3. This Report is the 5th in the series of semi-annual monitoring reports and contains
progress achieved in the reporting period covering January to June 2019. As per Asian
Development Bank’s (ADB) Categorization, INREMP is Category A, in Indigenous People’s as
most of the areas in 4 URBs are within ancestral domains and/or occupied by IPs and Category
B in Involuntary Resettlement and Environment Safeguard. As access restriction issues and
unanticipated impacts during subprojects implementation are likely, safeguards documents such
as IPP, EMP, RP, ECC/CNC conditions/restrictions, due diligence reports and those identified in
the subproject proposals are monitored to ensure they are compliant to monitoring parameters
and criteria set forth in INREMP’s IPPF, RF and EARF.
4. A Resettlement Framework (RF), Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) and

Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) were prepared for the project.
These safeguard frameworks harmonizes with the existing government laws and Safeguard
Policy Statement (2009) of Asian Development Bank (ADB). The resettlement framework covers
involuntary physical and economic displacement arising from land acquisition and restrictions
on land use while the EARF provides the procedures for environmental assessment and review
of component activities in each subproject. IPPF on the other hand, ensure that INREM
subprojects are designed and implemented in a way that fosters full respect for IP identity,
dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, and cultural uniqueness as defined by the IPs
themselves to enable them to (i) receive culturally appropriate social and economic benefits, (ii)
do not suffer adverse impacts as a result of the project, and (iii) can participate actively in the
project.
5. Involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples and environmental safeguards impacts of

the project are anticipated in Component 2, Smallholder and institutional investments in
conservation increased and URB productivity enhanced in the forestry, agriculture and rural
sectors. Subprojects under this component are Natural Resources Management2 (NRM),
Livelihood Enhancement Support (LES) and Rural Infrastructure (RI) proposed
2
NRM Subprojects include reforestation (REFO), assisted natural regeneration (ANR), conservation farming (CF), agroforestry,
commercial tree plantation (CTP) and community based protection and monitoring (CBPM).

and implemented by People’s Organizations (POs) and Local Government Units (LGUs). These
subproject interventions are expected to improve the use of natural and land resources, reduce
poverty and reverse environmental degradation.
B. Status of INREMP Subprojects Implementation
Rural Infrastructure (RI) Subprojects
6. As of June 2019, INREMP facilitated the preparation, development and processing of sixty
(60) RI subprojects (SPs) participated by LGUs in 4 URBs. The Rural Infrastructures subprojects
comprised of forty-two (42) access roads, eight (8) Level II water system, five (5) communal
irrigation system, four (4) footpath and one (1) trading center. Refer to Table 1 for details of status.

Natural Resources Management (NRM) Subprojects
7. As of June 2019, a total of 428 Peoples Organizations (PO) have implemented a total of
1,288 NRM subprojects in various modalities such as, Agroforestry(AGRO), Commercial Tree
Plantation (CTP), Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR), Conservation Farming (CF),
Reforestation (REFO) and Community Based Protection and Monitoring (CBPM). For all URBs,
most areas under their subprojects have been developed or planted and some are already under
maintenance and protection.

Livelihood Enhancement Support (LES) Subprojects
8. DENR and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) facilitated the management and
implementation of livelihood enhancement support subprojects in the different URBs except in
LLRB where DTI do not have any intervention. To differentiate, LES 1 is DENR-led where all URBs
have interventions while LES 2 is DTI led where LLRB is not included. Subprojects under LES 1
are already in the proposal development
17
stage, while for DTI-led LES, subproject proposal preparations and packaging activities were
undertaken through series of stakeholder and PO orientations and series of workshops and
meetings. The DTI Provincial Offices are requesting guidance from the DENR specifically on the
land acquisition considering that the regular Shared Service Facility (SSF) of DTI do not need land
acquisition as a result of project implementation. Sites for the SSF under the regular DTI project,
should have been the partner counterpart and should have acquired before proposal preparation
since it is one of the condition and criteria.
9. DENR-led LES, due to voluminous subproject proposals (SPPs) from POs of all URBs
were collated and categorized to facilitate efficient review, packaging and subsequent submission
to ADB for issuance of NOL. The following categories:
 Category 1 is for Concrete drying pavement
 Category 2 is for Irrigation Water facilities
 Category 3 is for the Small constructed facilities
 Category 4 is for the Agricultural machinery and milling facilities
 Category 5 is for food processing facilities/equipment.
10. In 2019, the ADB has already cleared all Categories except Category 5 of LES 1 to start
the procurement process. The procurement was based on the ADB Procurement Guidelines which
involved shopping method where three quotation or canvas is required per item. The ADB issued
its NOLs on 28 November 2018 and 11 December 2018, covering the DENR-led LES for Category
1 and Categories 2-4, respectively covering 13 POs of the 4 URBs, while Category 5 is still pending
due to environmental safeguards concerns (refer Table 3).

C. Objective and Scope of Social Safeguards Semi-annual Monitoring Report
I. Objectives of Social Monitoring Report
11. The main objective of monitoring the implementation of Social Safeguards is to determine if
these RF/RPs, MOA, and IPF/IPPs are being carried out in accordance with INREMP Project
Administration Manual (PAM) and ADB Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS). The NPCO conducts
the supervision and in-house monitoring of the implementation of the RPs and the IPPs as
prescribed. The procedure for monitoring the MOA that the project proponent enters into with
affected IPs inside ADs is guided by the monitoring, evaluation, and reporting arrangements set
forth in that MOA. The monitoring of the IPP for affected ICCs/IPs living outside ancestral domains
will fall under IM in coordination with the NCIP.
18
12. The January to June 2019 Safeguard Semi-annual Monitoring Report intends to determine
and highlight the significant accomplishments for the period in terms of compliance with safeguards
requirements for IP and IR, adverse impact if any, and mitigating measures formulated to address
and lessen the impact.
II. Scope of Social Monitoring Report
13. The coverage of the SMR for the reporting period is the implementation of various subprojects
aside from the NRM. Given that most of the regular NRM subprojects in terms of area or site
development were already accomplished, most of them are in the maintenance and protection
activities that are being done on a quarterly basis. The PO partners are no longer tied up in the
plantation area but more on livelihood activities.
14. The implementation of Rural Infrastructure by the LGU has a separate safeguards
monitoring because the LGUs are the one required to monitor and supervise the construction and
shall see to it that all safeguards requirements are fully complied by the Contractor. However,
FMB/DENR as the executing agency of INREMP is responsible in the implementation and
monitoring of all subprojects of INREMP.
III. Subprojects Safeguards Performance Monitoring
15. INREMP continuous to undertake internal monitoring thru the Site Management Officers
and M&E Officers. Both monitoring seeks to ensure that safeguards plans such as RPs,
IPP/CMPs, ADSDPPs, MOA with IPs, EMP/EIAMMPs, IEEs, ECCs, CNCs are carried out as
planned and in accordance to INREMPs RF, IPPF and EARF and ADB’s SPS 2009. Internal
monitoring indicators covers the following a.) budget and timeframe; b) public participation and
consultation; and c) benefit monitoring. At least 2 Safeguards monitoring tools3 were prepared for
this purpose. Series of orientations and trainings were conducted on the use of these tools.
Monitoring for NRM subprojects were undertaken by field implementing staff at respective
Watershed Management Project Coordinating Offices (WMPCO). The same is observed with RI
subprojects, except the LGU, as the one in-charge for the implementation of rural infrastructure,
takes the lead in monitoring. While the POs and LGUs as proponents are expected to conduct
monitoring more frequently, INREMP through its field implementing staff assigned conducted
monitoring on a monthly basis.
16. For subprojects to proceed to implementation5, safeguards compliance have to be reviewed

and cleared by ADB through NOLs on SPDs and SPPs. RI subprojects are category B in involuntary
resettlement and environment safeguards, hence all SPDs and safeguards documents such as
IPP/CMPs, EAIMMP/EMPs and IEE’s are cleared by ADB and posted in their website for
disclosure. NRM and LES subprojects are category C, hence issued “first-of- its-kind” NOL by ADB,
indicating succeeding similar subprojects are subject to post review by ADB.
IV. Social Safeguard Performance Monitoring
Involuntary Resettlement (IR)

17. Majority of the subproject sites are located in forest lands which is classified as public land
under the jurisdiction of the Forest Management Bureau (FM), Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR). Forest tenure arrangements such as stewardship contracts and
community-based forest management agreements (CBFMA) among others were secured by forest
occupants. These tenure arrangements as per FMB Memoranda dated May and June 2017
clarifies that this grants the forest occupants a privilege and not a right over the forest land. That in
case projects of national interest is undertaken in the subject area, a proper consultation should be
conducted and waiver or non-waiver of rights is no longer required. However, any improvements
19
introduced on the affected area or portion should be subject to compensation. INREMP RF
entitlement matrix sets out compensation of these and further clarifies affected persons or forest
occupants without tenure arrangements are entitled to the same compensation. In this premise
possibility of land acquisition impacts are minimal. This usually occur when rural infrastructure (RI)
or livelihood subprojects traverses/encroach or located in alienable and disposable (A&D) lands,
respectively. During preparation of SPD, these are avoided by reducing length and/or width of
subproject for rural infrastructures
18. RI Subprojects that traverses or encroach in A&D lands, which is very minimal are
negotiated for purchase or donations. These lands are usually shoulders needed for the road
rehabilitation/improvement (roads are already existing/established) and only minimal portions of
land ownership mostly not exceeding 10% of the entire land and does not sacrifice productivity
and use. LES subprojects in A&D areas involves acquisition of areas for facilities and equipment
for processing, hence various land acquisition agreements are submitted by PO proponents.
19. With regards to LES, the POs were required to identify the areas within the community as
the possible location for the construction of facilities for LES. However, there should be proper
consultation and documentation on the process of land acquisition and proof of evidence on the
agreement reached between the PO and land claimant. While alternative location or sites for LES
subproject be identified if negotiations for acquisition fail. All NRM subprojects are managed by
POs who are under forest tenure arrangement and others are within the ancestral domains.
20. The table below showed the number of POs with LES 1 and LES 3 that will be needing a
land area for the construction of various livelihood facilities. These facilities ranges from drying
pavement, warehouse or storage area, livelihood center or processing center. The mode of
acquisition varies on the different situation and condition in the field, either waiver of rights,
community resolution, usufruct agreement, quit claim and others.

2. WIRB 13 0
3. BURB 10 9

TOTAL 49 22
21. To address the issues and standardized the land acquisition procedures for LES
Subprojects, a “Land Use Mechanism Matrix” was prepared to guide field implementing unit staff
to facilitate compliance. The matrix presented various scenarios in terms of land classification and
land uses. In most cases especially in CURB, land areas for the construction of livelihood facilities
are within ancestral domain, wherein resolution of consent from the Council of Elders (COE) shall
be issued to designate a particular area for the use of the community for its livelihood activities.
Consent from the land claimant (family or clan) shall also be issued in favor of the PO to clearly
state the arrangement and agreements between both parties on the use and duration of the use
of the land parcel specifically for livelihood activities. The table below shows the different scenarios
and options for land acquisitions for livelihood activities of the PO partners. POs are registered
entities with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Labor and Employment and
Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).

23. In addition “Project at a Glance” Forms were likewise to be complied to provide details on
location and size of the land where structure will be constructed. This form is designed to identify
in a summative format social safeguards compliance of proposed subprojects, including RI’s.
21
Indigenous Peoples (IP)
24. Subproject sites within ancestral domain lands undergo a Free and Prior Informed Consent
(FPIC) process to facilitate issuance of Certificate of Precondition (CP) as prescribed in RA 8371
or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) Law and the INREMP IP Framework. Joint validation
and consultation activities among the indigenous POs, National Commission of Indigenous
Peoples NCIP) and DENR were conducted, to solicit opinions and consent of IPs to implement
subproject activities in their domains. In CURB, NCIP issued CPs per subprojects, in cluster
barangays/ancestral domains or POs, while in BURB, CPs are secured per subproject types (NRM,
LES and RI) based on the area coverage and jurisdiction of the NCIP Community Service Center
(CSC) in the locality. CP for WIRB was already issued for ancestral domain lands occupied by
Eskaya Tribes in 2017. In BURB, all RI subprojects (access roads) within ancestral domains, were
issued with a Usufruct Agreement between the IPs and DENR. This agreement (appended in the
SPD) is a consent given by the indigenous POs through signed agreement by their Council of
Elders to rehabilitate/improve and use the subproject area/location.

25. CP of WIRB for the Eskaya Tribe has been issued in 2017, while various CPs in CURB
have been simultaneously issued. As of June 2019 a total of 113 CPs have been issued in CURB.
There were 4 CPs from BURB issued and signed by the NCIP Regional Director on 27 February
2019. However, these CPs are still to be transmitted to the NCIP Central Office for signature of
the Ethnographic Commissioner and confirmation of the NCIP Chairperson.
26. Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) and/or Community Management Plan (CMP) totaling to 283
were prepared for the different subprojects to be implemented within ancestral domain or areas
occupied by indigenous peoples as specified in the IPPF. However, there were only a total of 135
CMPs updated and finalized to consolidate other CMPs into one, on a per ancestral domain or
tribal groupings. There were 88 CMPs prepared for CURB and 45 CMPs for BURB. In other URBs,
IPP was prepared for the Eskaya Tribe in WIRB and Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP)
for Maranao communities of LLRB were already submitted and eventually cleared by ADB.

D. Public Participation, Consultation and Capacity Building
28. Consultations were held with key stakeholders of subprojects including IPs as applicable.
Minutes, attendance sheet and photographs are appended in the SPDs and SPPs submitted to
ADB for NOL. For subprojects within ancestral domain or with presence of IPs, consent/s are
solicited through series of DENR-NCIP-PO (with LGU for RI) joint validation, mapping and series of
consultation activities. These series of activities facilitate the following IP safeguards compliance:
 FPIC process as a pre-requisite to issuance of CPs

 Finalization of CMPs and IPPs and various Capacity Building Trainings (Appendix 1)
 Information Disclosure and other Capacity Building activities (Appendix 2,3)
 Social and Environmental Monitoring for RI in BURB (Appendix 4
 Tribal Council Resolution or an IP Resolution of Support endorsing the subproject
 Sangguniang Barangay Resolution of Support endorsing the subproject
 Safeguards Checklists (IR, IP and REA)
29. CMP Updating and finalization were conducted from February to June 2019 with technical
assistance and editing provided by ADB. There were 135 CMPs in all URBs submitted to ADB.

Status of IPP/CMP Implementation
30. The IPP/CMP described the visions and objectives of the tribal group and identified various
interventions they need to protect and develop the area to enhance the well-being of each
community member. The IPP/CMP shall also be used as the benchmark in conducting monitoring
to ensure that interventions will adhere to their culture and traditions and will not create adverse
impact to the area and to the community members.
31. The DENR shall conduct Internal monitoring and the indicators to be used shall cover the
following a.) budget and timeframe; b) public participation and consultation; and c) benefit
monitoring. At least 2 Safeguards monitoring tools3 were prepared for this purpose. Series of
orientations and trainings were conducted on the use of these tools. Monitoring for NRM
subprojects were undertaken by field implementing staff at respective Watershed Management
Project Coordinating Offices (WMPCO). The same is observed with RI subprojects, except the
LGU, as the one in-charge for the implementation of rural infrastructure, takes the lead in
monitoring. While the POs and LGUs as proponents are expected to conduct monitoring more
frequently, INREMP through its field implementing staff assigned conducted monitoring on a
monthly basis.
32. Continuous guidance and technical assistance for subproject proposal packaging with POs
and LGUs with emphasis on safeguards compliance were conducted in various URB especially for
the LES and other RI respectively.
33. For DTI-led LES 2, subproject proposal preparation training was conducted in January 2019
(BURB), March 2019 (CURB) and July 2019 (WIRB). The trainings conducted in these URBs focused
on the social and environmental safeguards requirements and mode of compliance to these
requirements. The trainings was facilitated by CESM and NPCO to orient the field units on the common
and minimum requirements of the IPF, RP and ESMR to be complied in preparing subproject proposals.
34. Procurement processes and requirements for RI subprojects were conducted headed by
FASPS and NPCO for the different LGUS in BURB and WIRB. Contractor’s obligations to compliance
of safeguards were reminded to LGU-SPMUs, specifically budget allocation for compliance of
safeguards, compliance to labor and health standards and local hiring with equal opportunities for
women and IP.
35. During the ADB Mission for Rural Infrastructure Monitoring held in various URBs, it was
observed that there was no pre-construction conference or meeting held which is very important
to level-off on the procedures and requirements among the key actors (LGU, DENR, Contractor,
PO), which is the reason that the ADB required that a pre-construction conference or meeting be
held for all RI subprojects prior to start of construction or civil works to level off on the requirements
and how to make corrective actions when problem arises during construction. Obligations of
Contractor including safeguards compliance stipulated in the EAIMMP, IEE, IPP/CMPs and other
safeguards documents were discussed and reiterated.
31
E. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)
36. In the previous submission, there was no report pertaining to grievances and issues arising
from INREMP implementation. It is only in 2019 that CURB reported several issues arising from
INREMP implementations. There were 5 cases that need the attention of the different offices of
the DENR at the field level. The 5 cases reported were somehow resolved with appropriate
recommendations and agreements. Table 7 showed the different cases, with the corresponding
actions taken and agreement reached.

F. Institutional Arrangement
37. The National Project Coordinating Office (NPCO) is tasked to oversee safeguards
compliance in all project implementing units. To enhance NPCOs capacity, Project Consultants
were engaged:
 1 Social Development Specialist (SDS-Assisting Professional) at NPCO
 1 Social Safeguards Specialist (SSS for Rural Infrastructure) at NPCO
 1 Social Safeguards Specialist (SSS) at TA-PMIC (National Level)
 1 Environment Specialist (ES) at TA-PMIC (National Level)
 10 Technical Extension Officers (TEOs) URB based at RPCO and PPMO
38. The SDS and SSS at NPCO provides assistance in the social and environmental
compliance and concerns of all subprojects in NRM and RI respectively. The SSS and ES of TA-
PMIC through Center for Environmental Studies Management (CESM) provides assistance in the
appraisal, safeguards screening and preparation of IPPs and IEEs, EMPs/EIAMMPs, of
subprojects in RI. At WMPCO Level, Watershed Management Officers (WMOs) and Community
Development Officers (CDOs) provide assistance to POs and LGUs in social and environmental
safeguards compliance of subprojects in NRM and RI.
39. TEO’s safeguards tasks specifically are: i.) Work with the NPCO, WMPCO and RPCO in
integrating social safeguards (indigenous people and involuntary resettlement),
environmental safeguards and gender and compliance to processes of all activities (subprojects,
trainings, workshops and others) in a watershed; ii.)Review and coordinate the integration of
social safeguards requirement in all subproject proposals and participate in Council deliberations
of such proposals and iii.) Provide support in internal monitoring of subproject implementation and
confirm the technical soundness of the social safeguard measures.
40. The LGU-SPMU coordinates and manages the RI subprojects. The Subproject
Management Unit (SPMU) is created for every subproject by virtue of an executive order.
However, it was noted during RI Safeguards Training, the SPMU executive order lacked a clear
person in charge and/or a unit that will be in charge of the safeguards monitoring and GRM as
well. As part of their workshop outputs, LGUs reconstituted their SPMUs to incorporate separate
unit for safeguards monitoring and GRM.
G. Overall Status, Issues, Concerns and Proposed Actions
41. The overall status of Social Monitoring Report for January to June 2019 is satisfactory
considering that there was no identified adverse effect in the INREMP implementation. However,
the CURB have identified five (5) GRM cases but eventually with the coordination and cooperation
of various stakeholders and government units, the issues were settled.
42. There was no reporting in terms of land acquisition for the LES for the period considering
that there was no physical movement during the period. However, several orientations and
consultations were made to inform the POs on the modes of land acquisitions required before
going into the construction of livelihood facilities.
43. The DTI organized several trainings on subproject proposal preparation and requested
the NCPO and CESM to act as resource speakers to discuss the social and environmental
safeguards requirements.
35
44. In the succeeding period, among the key activities for safeguards compliance to be
monitored and reported are the following:
 Status of Issuance of CPs in CURB and BURB

 Engagement of External Monitor
 Hiring of Environment Specialist at NPCO
 Updates and Status of Land Acquisition for LES Subprojects
 Updates on compliance of safeguards for SPDs and SPPs

Some Activities in BURB on Capacity Building and Information Disclosure
A. PO Mentoring and Coaching on Geotag Photos
Part of the strengthening activities in

relation to INREMP Interventions, the Manupali
staff facilitated by GIS Officer C. Bulatao initiated
to conduct coaching & mentoring to People’s
Organization (PO) monitoring team on the new
mobile phone application and procedures in
capturing geotag photos. The required (captured)
photos will be utilized in the online monitoring or
the Contract Management Information System
(CMIS) that can be accessed soon by the
consultants and concerns as part of providing
information regarding the status of the project. As
it is required to attach photos and subject to
updating from time to time, PO monitoring teams
are coached in order to capture appropriate
angles and procedures in geotagging of NRM
subproject sites.

B. PO Strengthening and Meeting to People’s Organizations
(Information, Education and Communication) for Information
Disclosure
The Manupali watershed staff initiated

to attend PO/IPO assemblies and meetings to
discuss matters on NRM accomplishments.
Per agenda discussion, Focal Person Bryan
Estoesta emphasized to the beneficiaries the
100% validation on 2015 and 2016
interventions by the consultants and NPCO
team that will commence soon. Thereupon,
requiring them to facilitate completion
especially with the maintenance and protection
activities and to rectify areas which have discrepancies in mapping.
More so, forest fire protection and

prevention were also discussed by INREMP focal
person as part of the fire prevention month
activities, informing them of the preventive
measures to avoid forest fire and damages to the
established plantation while the sites are delicate
to fire during this season. This is in addition to the
team’s initiated strategies to produce IEC
materials like poster/signage concerning
protection of the established plantation especially that
dumped garbage were observed on established sites.
Thereupon, tarpaulin/signage are mounted to NRM
sites prone to by passers.
ME Officer LCR Moralde facilitated to revisit

scoping results that was conducted last November
2018 as part of reviewing and assessing the POs if they
have complied the documents and took actions on the
matter that needs to be done before the accreditation
and assessment (AA) team will evaluate the PO for
recommendation to approval that is scheduled on last
week of March 2019 until April 2019.
Livelihood Enhancement Support (LES)

Updates were also discussed by SD Officer EJJ Adane
and required them to facilitate and submit the lacking
documents and attachments of their LES proposals.
She announced that billing documents will be prepared
soon and informed the PO that they will assist in the
43
procurement of equipments/materials/items to their proposed subprojects especially
with the quotation/canvass of goods to three dealers.
In addition, GIS Officer Bulatao pronounced to the PO members to give the

exact given name of the beneficiaries especially with the mapped areas for inclusion in
the CMIS instead of giving alias or nickname, while it was observed that mapped areas
names do not coincide with the master list and the GIS finds it hard to finalize the maps.
C. Information, Education & Communication on Climate

Change in Celebration with World Water Day
CENRO Valencia spearheaded the IEC campaign on Climate Change tapping

the Elementary School Administrator of Songco as facilitated by INREMP Manupali
staff while the community is one of the beneficiaries of the INREMP interventions. The
activity conducted on March 21, 2019 at Songco Elementary School was participated
and attended by the Songco elementary teachers and pupils. Presence of CENR
Ferdinand Dagulo graced the event while inspiring them words of wisdom especially
with taking care of the environment and of the community. For. Christian Jebulan
highlighted the climate change discussion while Ms. Catherine Lopez, SMO of Manupali
discussed on the importance of water as part of the World Water Day celebration.
