The province is subdivided into 15 municipalities, three cities and 720 barangays. At
present, it has three congressional districts. The province had a population of 1,233,432 as of
May 1, 2010 reflecting an average population density of 482.9 persons per square kilometer.
Land Area
Albay province has a total land area of
255,406 hectares or 2,554.06 sq km. Of the six
provinces of Bicol Region, it is the smallest
representing 14.187 percent of the region’s
total land area.
Economy
Albay envisions itself as the most progressive, disaster-resilient, and globally competitive
province wherein inclusive growth in agriculture and tourism sectors is achieved through a
dynamic and participatory leadership and governance.
The long term vision of the Province evolves from the previous visions. It is aligned with the
plans and programs as well as its development growth and direction of the regional vision as
well as with the priority plans and programs of the present administration.
Presently, one of the challenges that the Provincial Government of Albay (PGA) is facing is
how to link low-income farmers to modern agriculture that could transform marginal to
substantial income. This is the thrust present administration believes that will make food
available and affordable for all.
For the agriculture sector, the vision of the province is a developed countryside and
sustainable production areas led by strong, organized and self-reliant farmers and fisher
folks equipped with modern technology and entrepreneurial capability ensuring steady
supply of farm produce to meet food sufficiency.
It has been the policy of the provincial and national governments to ensure the delivery of
services to the farmers through provision of needed inputs such as planting materials,
fertilizers, as well as technical assistance. This is through the proper allocation of resources
coming from both the provincial and national treasury.

Although Manito is a small town yet it is rich in natural resources. Its mountains are noted for
lumber which can supply the whole Province of Albay. It is surrounded halfway with rich
fishing grounds where different kinds of fish are caught for consumption and for sale. It has
rich grazing lands for cattle and carabaos. It has several good rivers for irrigation, plenty of
swamps for fish, mangroves and nipa palms. The soil is rich and suitable for planting abaca
and coconuts as well as other products. The climate is mild and favorable throughout the
year. In the past years, Manito was known for abaca and coconut industries but because of
typhoons and coconut disease, known as “Cadang-cadang”, that frequently hitting the area,
these major industries weakened, hence, the people started suffering from economic
insecurity as well as social upheaval.
At the moment, the municipality is a supplier of lasa grass and its final product - soft
broom. A significant number of households are engaged in soft broom making as a source of
livelihood. Many households are still engaged in cottage industries like basket making in spite
of the dwindling supply of nito vines. Also, there are still products like abaca, copra, lumber,
nipa thatches, firewood, fish and animals that are sold at the Legaspi market, its main trading
area.
The direct beneficiaries of the proposed potable water system project were the total
household of the barangy within the project service area.

The water source of the proposed water system project is in Barangay Nagotgot which is
about 1.9 kms from the direct beneficiaries.
The table above shows that agriculture is the base economy of the beneficiary barangays of
the proposed water system project. Residents of these barangays also involve in
construction, community, social & communication and finance, retail business as well.
The shown table, the general land use of the project service area barangay is mainly
agriculture that comprises 68.5% of its total land use area. Thus, most of households are
engaged in agricultural works.

Coconut plantation dominates the land use area with 56.28% from total agricultural
and fisheries area. Farmers are also engaged in inter-cropping and diversified farming.
Since coconut is the main product, copra dryers are the focal produce in the four
barangays. The barangays also produce soft broom came from nipa palms which is about
962 pieces a year.
As shown in Table 2, almost all of the barangays have shortage supply of potable water.
The table also shows that barangays with highest percentage of no access to safe water
include Barangays Balabagon with 16.80%; Cawit with 16.59%; Holugan with 8.81%;
Nagotgot with 15.37%; and Pawa which possessed the highest percentage of 24.95%. These
5 barangays are adjacent to each other as shown in Figure 1, which are situated in the
eastern part of the municipality.
The following development challenges are also experienced by the constituents of the
municipality:
Based on the general conclusions on the study published by Greenpeace Southeast Asia in
2007 entitled “the State of Water Resources in the Philippines”, and in the latest report done
by the Asian Development Bank entitled “Asian Water Development Outlook 2016”, the
shortage of water has impact to health, sanitation, education, and economy. Therefore, those
To help attain sustainable development, it is essential for the communities to have access
to safe water, hence, REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM
was proposed at Brangay Nagotgot. The prioritization was based on the magnitude of
households without access to potable water and occurrences of development issues
associated on this.
A. Location
1. Geographic Boundaries
Nagotgot is situated at approximately 13.1074, 123.9064, in the island of Luzon.
Elevation at these coordinates is estimated at 127.6 meters or 418.6 feet above
mean sea level.
The barangay of Nagotgot is 52.1 kilometres away from the Provincial capital of
Legazpi city which is the center of administrative, education and commerce in the 2 nd
District of Albay.
The Municipality of Manito is endowed with rich ground and spring waters. Ground
waters in the town is utilised by means of shallow and deep wells in areas where the
potable water supply system is not yet available.
The proposed pipe laying will be at the mountain side of the covered
barangays that will start at the Source / Reservoir going down to Barangay Nagotgot

Except for Brgy. Nagotgot, the other three barangays are situated in the coastline,
thus, a number of families are engage in fishing. As stated in the 2017 Municipal Fisheries
profile, the average catch of fish per annum is estimated to reach 1,170 kilos. The species
commonly caught in these areas are Yellow tuna, Spangled emperor, anchovy, round scads,
C. Off-Farm Data
A significant number of households are engaged in soft broom making using the
“lasa” grass. Soft brooms are sold either directly to the market or to middlemen in the area.
There are farmers also that sold “lasa” as raw material either within or outside the barangay.
There are also those who engaged in cottage industries like basket making in spite
of the dwindling supply of nito vines.
Root crops like sweet potato and cassava are usually sold within the barangay. Only
few farmers bring their produce to Poblacion or to Legazpi City. Some mothers use this to
make “kakanin” or native food such as cassava cake, bibingka, cassava roll, camote cue,
steamed cassava in banana leave or locally known as “balisungsong” for personal
consumption or selling around the barangay.
The same with root crops, vegetables are mostly planted for personal consumption
or sold to local people. The only barangay that engaged in commercial vegetable production
is Brgy. Nagotgot since majority of the residents are dependent to farming. Copra are mostly
sold and brought to Legazpi City though.
Fish catches are normally sold to local residents. There are few middlemen in the
area who trade in Poblacion or Legazpi City. Some women organizations were trained to
engage in fish processing but failed to succeed due to lack of possible market.
D. Poverty Incidence
Of the total 1,476 households in the four barangays based on CBMS 2014, 733 or 50%
of these have income below poverty threshold while 463 or 32% has income below food
threshold. Barangay Balabagon has the highest percentage of households with income below
poverty threshold and below food threshold which is 60% and 40% respectively. It was closely
followed by Barangay Hologan with 58% income below poverty threshold and 38% income
below food threshold. Barangay Nagotgot has the lowest income below poverty and below
food threshold which is 42% and 25% respectively, however, this is still far from the Millennium
Development Goal (MDG) poverty reduction target of 17.2% by the year 2015.

households without access to safe water throughout the whole municipality, Barangay
Nagotgot, has the highest number of families without access to potable water.
A total of 10 malnourished children was also recorded as shown in Table 9. three (3)
children under 5 years old died while 2 women also died due to pregnancy related causes.

On the conducted interview with the Rural Health Unit personnel, Joan Jett Cañada - Nurse
II, she said that there are only 9 cases of acute gastroenteritis for children aged 0-59 months
old recorded in their office for the four barangays from January to April of this year. Three (3)
of these came from Brgy. Nagotgot, one (1) from Brgy. Balabagon, One (1) from Hologan and
Four (4) from brgy, Pawa. The reason for having limited information, according to her, was
that mild cases of diarrhea are only treated at home and never reported even to the assigned
Barangay Health Worker (BHW) or Barangay Nurse. There are also those who directly seek
treatment from the hospitals in which the RHU do not have records. Another reason for low
statistic is that, diarrhea cases usually set off during rainy months in which, in their experience,
started from August to December. It is estimated that the total cases of water borne diseases
will reach to 96 persons in the whole Municipality of Manito.
Ms. Cañada also shared that during last year (2017), scabies outbreak, a type of skin
disease, happened at Brgy. Nagotgot. No official data was recorded though because no report
was submitted by the barangay officials, according to her. The main cause for the skin
disease was the chemical coming from the geothermal Plant contaminating the rivers and the
barangay’s water system.
Medical outreach is being done by the RHU twice a year, according to Ms. Cañada. Aside
from consultation, medicines are provided to patients during this outreach program. For Acute
Gastroenteritis, oresols and antibiotics were provided but for severe cases, patients are
referred to hospitals. One (1) municipal hospital is existing in the Poblacion area. Most of the
patients coming from these four barangays are brought to the said municipal hospital.
However, because of lacking equipment and facilities, acute illnesses needing advance
treatment are referred to hospitals in Legazpi City. For families who can afford to seek
medical attention outside Manito, usually go to Legazpi City or in the neighboring municipality
like Daraga, Albay.
For Brgy. Nagotgot there is non-functional gravity driven level II water system. The
location of the reservoir/tank was under litigation due to the heirs of the lot owner did not
recognized the deed of donation executed by and between the Barangay Nogotgot and the
land owner. There are 4 units of level 1 water facility in the barangay that serves Purok 1-7
that benefited 221 households. The remaining 348 households fetch water to other
barangays.The existing water system facilities does not meet the present demand. The
proposed Rehabilitation and Improvement of Level III water system will more beneficial and
economical to the beneficiaries. There will be a reduction in time in fetching water from .50
hour/day to .15 hour/day to a savings in time of 70%. Expectedly there will be a significant
reduction of water borne diseases/illness in the project service area.
B. Target Demand
Based on the Revised Plumbing Code of Republic Act 1378, the average daily
consumption of water per person is about 120 liters. The average size of a household in
the eastern barangays is 5. For 2017, the total households’ direct beneficiaries are 1,476
or 7,380 persons. At present, the total population for the target beneficiaries is around
7,380 persons. Thus, the required volume for the existing population to be serve for the
average daily demand is 885,240 liters.
Based on the population growth rate of 3.0%, the direct beneficiaries will increase
from 7,380 populations to 13,329 total populations after 20 years which is the project
service life.
Upon completion of the proposed water system, it is expected that the entire
households will get their drinking water from this as shown in Table 11. Level 1 water
system shall be kept and used for cleaning and washing.
Residents of the neighboring barangays can also benefit from the proposed project.
Agreements between the indirect beneficiaries and the Operation and Maintenance Team
that will be created shall be done while the construction is ongoing. Any agreements shall
be approved by the Barangay Assembly to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.
Based on the technical analysis and computation of demand using the available data
the average daily demand is One Million Three Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand Two Hundred
Twenty-Six liters (1,386,226) or Sixteen liters per second.
With an average water consumption per person per day = 135 liters
The development of 172.8 cum/d water supply is feasible enough to meet the needs of
The barangay’s households in service area.
“Water connects every aspect of life. Access to safe water can quickly turn problems into
potential – unlocking education, work opportunities, and improved health for women, children
and families”, this is according to Water.org, an international organization providing safe water
to selected countries. This statement is correct and precise because sufficient supply of safe
water would mean:
A. Hydraulic Analysis
Basically:
𝛑 Ø2 = cross sectional area of a circular pipe 45.69mm say 50mm < 150mm
4 2” 6”
Ø = diameter size of pipe over design for 2lps flowrate
The proposed location of the water source is at Brgy. Nagotgot, Manito, Albay which
is about 2.0 km from the direct beneficiaries. Relative thereto, the intake box will be
constructed. The proposed spring box will be constructed to enclose the eye of the source,
to protect the water from contamination.
A reservoir will be constructed as well; the proposed site is in Brgy. Nagotgot proper.
The intake box and the reservoir have a difference in elevation of more or less 156 m. and
an average of 123 m from the reservoir to the proposed service area.
Pipe Connection fittings and valves will be installed along the pipeline to ensure the
functionality of the system.
C. Items of work and cost (POW Summary) and design of the proposed structure
Shown in table below is the cost estimates for the proposed Rehabilitation and
Improvement of Level III Water System
The reservoir which will be 585 cubic meter, should compose of overflow pipe, vent pipe
and connection pipe to the intake box. The overflow pipe will be atleast 0.15 diameter to avoid
backflow to the spring box. Vent pipe over the overflow pipe will be install to ensure the
convenience of flow and the release of unwanted air pressure inside the spring box. The
water level indicator board shall be connected to a floating valve to determine the level of
water inside the tank even without opening the manhole of the tank.
All construction materials and equipment that will be use are locally available and no
imported materials and equipment. Since this project will be implemented through contract by
the winning bidder, procurement of materials and equipment needed including transport will be
their responsibility.
The project will need equipment to effectively carry out the subproject implementation.
There will also be a technical personnel to be engage in the construction.
The Municipal Government of Manito, Albay will maintain the proposed sub-project. The
LGU will organize and set up a Manito Water Board, and under it is a water utility which may
be term as Manito Water Supply Enterprise. The said enterprise has a duty to provide potable
water within the project areas at agreed tariff fee.
The Manito Water Board is a committee composed of individual who are specialist in
water supply and treatment, representative of other sectors such as health and education, and
other stakeholders such as but not limited to the consumers or beneficiaries. The main
function of the Water Board is to ensure effective performance of water utility which is the
Water Supply Enterprise. In particular, it is responsible for ensuring that the water delivered to
the customers conforms to quality standards. The Board is also responsible for formulating
the vision, mission, objectives and operations manual of the water utility.
A more detailed operation and maintenance scheme shall be crafted in the Sustainability
Strategy plan prior to program exit with the general objective of sustaining the gains of the
program. The Municipality Local Government of Manito will allocate funds for the operation
and maintenance of the completed potable water supply system. An Operation and
Maintenance team will be formed in consultation with the project beneficiaries and Barangay
Local Government Units.
The Municipal Local Government of Manito will conduct a regular monitoring on the
Operation and Maintenance Plan. The Municipal LGU will also provide operation and
maintenance funds to sustain the operation and services of the structure.
Operational Procedures

the concessionaire
Step 9. Once installed, the concessionaire will sign the connection order form.
Tariff fee
The LGU will compute the reasonable tariff fee for the 6 th year onwards based on the net
revenue requirement per water volume and concessionaires.
D. Sustainability Mechanism
As discussed in the preceding section, the water system facility will be managed by the
Local Government Unit with the help of its funding unit DILG. The LGU will formulate Water
Board and Water Supply Enterprise Office. Based on the structure, there will be an Operation
and Maintenance Department under the Water Supply Enterprise Office. The Water Supply
Enterprise will hire a technical personnel and staff to be assigned in the Operation and
Maintenance Department.
The Manito Water Supply Enterprise will record the day to day transaction and prepare a
monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports. It will set up internal control mechanism.
This Enterprise will prepare an annual budget and to be reviewed and approved by the LGU
Water Board. All cash receipts and checks received by the cashier shall be deposited to the
LGU Trust Account on the following days. Disbursement will be properly documented and
approved. No receipt will be used directly for disbursement.
The Annual Net Income/Profit presented in the financial report will be presented to the
Water Board. The Board will be responsible to formulate plans, programs and activities to
utilize the Net Income. Based on the initial plan, the net income will be use for operation and
maintenance costs. If there will be remaining balance, it will be save for future capital
expenditures.
The Water Board will determine any plan for expansion of the water supply enterprise
project. At the end of the 5 th year of operation, there will be an evaluation to determine the
financial benefits of the water enterprise based on the result of its operation.
Upon determining the financial benefits, the water enterprise will prepare a feasibility study
for expanding the operation. This feasibility study will review and approved by the Water Board
as to technically feasible and financially viable.
A. Project Beneficiaries
The project will directly benefit the local residents of Barangay Nagotgot while its
adjacent communities will also indirectly benefit.
As farming community, several challenges are encountered by the local people and
local government unit. To discuss these challenges and agree on the options to resolve the
issues, an initial consultation was conducted by the Municipal Local Government Unit (MLGU)
last April 16 at Brgy. Nagotgot. This was attended by some municipal officials and employees,
barangay officials and some of the community residents
The issues raised during this consultation include the insufficient supply of potable
water at Barangay Nagotgot and emerging problems as the result of the scarcity of safe water
such as the occurrence of illnesses especially among children, poor education, and poverty
incidence.
As raised by some of the women participants during the consultation, there are
occurrences of water borne diseases such as diarrhea among adults and most especially
among children. Additional expenses incurred when such illness worsened thus, contributing
to financial suffering of the family.
There are water sources also, according to some participants, which are several
kilometers away from residential areas, therefore, residents have to spend more time in
fetching water. Because of this, children who fetch water are sometimes late in attending
classes or worst, no longer attend classes thus low school attendance observe. This condition
To address the issues raised above, the majority of those who attended the
consultation decided to propose the Rehabilitation and Improvement of Level III water system
within the barangays of Nagotgot. Mothers and the rest of the women members of the family
will benefit most from this project because as part of Filipino practice, especially in rural areas,
women are typically in charge of domestic works such as cooking, washing dishes, laundry,
and house cleaning. They are also responsible to maintain the general hygiene and health
condition of the family.
The municipality of Manito, Albay has no ancestral domain thus, the sub-project will not
affect any Indigenous Cultural Community or Indigenous People (IP). To support this claim,
Certificates of No Indigenous People in the area was issued by the Barangay Captains from
the four barangays (see attached copy of the certification).
The project will not pass through to any existing residential houses or permanent structures.
Not even agricultural crops will be damaged since the pipes laying will be done at the roadside.
Cogon grasses will be mostly affected in the areas where the intake box and reservoir will be
constructed which will total to 481 square meters.
Again, no houses or any permanent structures will be traversed by the project thus, no
relocation of houses or structures will be done.
No livelihood sources will be affected by the project, thus, income of the residents will not
be impaired. Instead, the project will provide the local people with the opportunity to earn more
because of the reduced time in fetching water or savings from possible medical expenses
caused by water borne related illnesses.
There are four major steps in the grievance handling process namely: (1) initiation; (2)
processing and action; (3) feedback; and (4) follow up.
1. Initiation
This is the first step in the process whereby a feedback or complaint is filed by using the
Feedback/Complaint Form and sent to the GRT or dropped at suggestions boxes that will
be put up at designated places within the project areas. Any member of the GRT may
receive the form or open the suggestion boxes.
2.2 The GRT will assess the validity of the grievance received. If evaluated as valid,
within 10 days from the date the complaint is received, the GRT will organize
meetings with the relevant agencies/contractors to discuss how to resolve the
matter.
Any decisions made by the body should be contained in a minutes of meeting or
proceeding. This would serve as supporting document to the resolution of the case.
Affected persons (APs) or households (AHs) should be kept informed and involved
in determining actions to be taken.
2.3 The concerned individual or office shall take action as agreed in meetings within the
period approved by the parties involved.
2.7 If the APs or AHs is still not satisfied with the decision or in the absence of any
response within the stipulated time, the APs or AHs as a last resort, may submit
his/her case to the court in which decision is final.
3. Feedback
This refers to the process of providing the APs or AHs with clear and complete information
on the status of the grievance.
When the complaint is resolved, the Complaint Form shall be signed by complainant/head
of household and annotated at each stage of process by the GRT with copies to be sent to
the concerned Program Support Office.
4. Follow-up
This involves determining results or outcome of grievances that have been resolved. The
GRT in coordination with the Program Support Office will carry out an audit to review
handling process and determine between/among parties if grievance resolution yielded
positive result.
The GRT will make the public aware of the GRM through public awareness campaigns,
training and capacity building which will be done while the construction is ongoing.
Any person who has feedback or complaints regarding the performance or activities of the
project and its subprojects during pre-implementation, implementation and operation phases,
shall have access to the GRM mechanism.
GRT members contact details, in support of the mechanism, will be publicly disclosed
and posted in the offices of concerned communities and in strategic places of the project
area. These will also be incorporated in PRDP information materials such as Project
brochures, flyers and posters, whichever is available.
A. Natural Habitat
The proposed project areas are not within the declared protected area. The water
source where the intake box will be constructed is within the forest while the construction of
reservoir will be done at the outskirts of the forest. Most of the pipe laying will be executed
along the main road.
Wild pigs, wild chicken, Philippine hawk-eagle, Luzon hornbill or kalaw, owls, bats,
kingfisher, snakes, and monitor lizard or bayawak still lives here while the common trees and
plants that grows here include: Almaciga, pagsahingin, piling-liitan, anabiong, malaikmo,
kamandiis, talisai, makakalumpit, kamagsa, bagtikan, almon, dita, blanco narig, aponan,
acacia, ipil-ipil, kakaute, narra, alagau, kamuling, balinad, sinaligan, alauihau, malasaging,
santol, antipolo, nangka, tabgun, bangkal, kalamansanai, matang araw, makamara,
anonggo, and alagasi.
To minimize disturbance of wild life, the project team will ensure that no excessive
activities will be done since the main activities will be pipe laying and excavation only. It will
be ensured that clearing of vegetation cover be undertaken only when necessary so as to
minimize or if at all possible eliminate loss of plant and animal habitats.
Proper management, handling and disposition of spoils and unsuitable materials will be
practiced during the subproject implementation to prevent siltation and sedimentation of
bodies of water. Washing and other types of wastewater shall be treated first before
discharge into the receiving body of water.
The project has no significant effect in the physical cultural resources which are defined
as movable or immovable objects, sites, structures, group of structures and natural features
and landscapes that have archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural, religious,
aesthetic, or other cultural significance. The sub-project area is not an archaeological site or
a potential one. It is not part of an important natural feature or landscape and physical
cultural resources. The pipe laying will not pass through any historical monument or
structure. However in the event that there is an artifact/bone or any debris found during the
The source of water for the subproject is in the vicinity of Barangay Nagotgot with
landforms characterized by slope of 25% at an elevation of 542 meters above mean sea
level. The reservoir on the other hand, shall be constructed where the elevation is 390
meters above sea level. There will be an average elevation of 267.29 meter above sea level
from intake box to service areas (see Figure 7).
Types of soils in the subproject are as follow:
a) Antipolo Clay soils along the rolling uplands and some hilly regions
b) Luisianan Clay Loam are very visible in the higher upland areas
c) Maligaya Clay loam on the flat lands which is used for paddy rice production.
The project area’s climate is classified as tropical. Dry season usually begins toward end
of January and ends in August while rainy season start in September and ends in December.
Based on the information gathered from Climate-Data,Org, there is moderate rainfall with an
average precipitation of 2013 mm that falls annually.
D. Hazard/Risk Assessment
The location of the proposed well sites are not potentially affected by any risk or hazards
that would damage and contaminate the well sites based from the MDRRMO. Aside from the
natural hazards that may occur in the municipality, the drainage system was also considered
but since the well sites are far from any residential and commercial building/establishments
there are no danger being seen that could contaminate the supply of water.
During construction phase, it is expected that it will have an impact on soils and
landforms that could either lead to flooding erosion and deposition of sediments in nearby
bodies. However, it is projected that the potential impacts are minimal, mostly reversible and
can easily be mitigated.
E. Environmental Clearances
The Local Government Unit of Manito, Albay applied for the Environmental Compliance
Certificate (ECC) as the sub-project falls under the type III projects (Non-Environmentally
Critical Projects (NECPs) in Non-Environmentally Critical Area (NECA), per DENR Revised
Procedural Manual DAO 03-30. The ECC application was already submitted and
acknowledged by the DENR-EMB.
The NWRB water permit application will be only done upon the release of the CNC
since it is one of the major requirements.
No permit will be applied for the cutting of trees since no trees will be affected.
For the pipe laying, individual landowners already signed the Right of Way Consent.
The Project Influence Area is an agricultural area with a total of 11,987, at present only
3,596 hectares is cultivated and planted with different crops such as coconut, banana,
vegetable and rice. The Municipal Agriculture Office has designated agricultural technician to
provide extension services to the farmers to practice appropriate technology on farming and
thereby increase their production and income. From 2003 to present a total of 100 farmers
trained on Organic Fertilizer Production and Technology and Farmers Field School on Palay
Check System. The farmers were trained on organic farming to educate them on the beneficial
effects of organic materials used in farming, the farmers were able to adopt the technology and
some are engaged in organic production. In 2013, the Municipal Agricultures Office
conducted Trainings on Farmers Field School and Palay Check System for Sustainable Rice
Production to help them increase their production by using the appropriate technology on
farming.
An Environmental and Social Management Plan was developed to address the issues
regarding the construction of the potable water system.

and other operating cost. For the initial year, the Project will have a net operating income of
Php 661,600.00.
Revenue
The net contribution of the proposed Construction of Potable Water System for Eastern
Barangays to the society as a whole is ascertained. This encompass whether the
economic cost can be offset by the economic benefits of the project for ten years.
The total net economic benefits of this project are One Hundred Two Million Two Hundred
Eighty Seven Thousand Pesos (Php102,287,000.00). The net present value at 10%
discount rate is computed at Php 46,958.90, with economic rate of return of 33.9% and

Table 25 shows that there are only 6 cases of acute gastroenteritis for children aged
0-59 months old for the barangays of Balabagon, Hologan, Nagotgot, and Pawa. This data
is from January to April of this year. Two (2) of these came from Brgy. Nagotgot, one (1)
from Brgy. Balabagon, and three (3) from brgy, Pawa. According to the Rural Health Unit
(RHU) personnel, the reason for having limited information was because mild cases of
diarrhea are only treated at home and never reported even to the assigned Barangay
Health Worker (BHW) or Barangay Nurse. There are also those who directly seek treatment
from the hospitals in which the RHU do not have records. Another reason for low statistic is
that, diarrhea cases usually set off during rainy months in which, in Manito, it started in
August and ends in December.
In the 2017 record, 76 cases were recorded wherein 33 are male and 43 are female.
But this data was for the whole municipality. Most of the affected are children at the age
group of below 1 year old to 14 years old with a total of 48 individuals. Half of them are
male and the other half are female. The remaining 27 cases were prorated to those
individual with ages from 15 years old to 65 years old and above. It is good to note
however that out of the 27 affected individuals, 18 are female and only 9 are male. This is
maybe because of the fact that most of the male members of the family are working outside
Scabies outbreak, a type of skin disease, was reported to happen last year (2017) at
Brgy. Nagotgot. No official data was recorded though because no report was submitted by
the barangay officials, according to RHU personnel. The main cause for the skin disease
was the chemical coming from the geothermal Plant contaminating the rivers and the
barangay’s water system.

Based on the morbidity rate of 1.73% due to water related diseases the income loss for a
period of ten years will be accumulate up to Thirty-Nine Million Eight Hundred Seventy Five
Thousand One Hundred Fifty Six Pesos (Php 39,875,156.00). However, with completion of
level II water system for eastern barangys subproject, there is an expected decrease in
income loss due to water related diseases by up to Twenty-Seven Million Nine Hundred
Twelve Thousand Six Hundred Nine Pesos (Php 27,912,609.00).
Of the total seventy-six cases of water related diseases for the year 2017, Fourteen cases
resulted from pre-mature death as recorded in the Rural Health Unit. The expected annual
reduction in come upon completion of water system level II for the loss due to pre-mature
death will be Fourteen Million Three Hundred Twenty Six Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy
Four Pesos (Php13,368,549.00).
Total cost of medical expenses for the 1st year at Three Million Three Hundred Fifty-
One Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Three Pesos (Php3,351,443.00). This is based on the
morbidity rate of 1.73% with 7,380 population. Average cost of hospitalization is One
Thousand Pesos (Php1,000.00) per person. With the realization of the potable water system
level II project, it is expected that the total savings from medical expenses will be Eleven
Million Five Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand One Hundred Sixty Pesos (Php11,526,160.00) for
10 years.
With the completion of water system level II subproject it will benefits a total of 1,476
households. It will have a total savings of Ninety-Five Million Six Hundred Fifty-One
Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Pesos (Php95,651,580.00) for ten years.
Residents from the four barangays covered by the construction of the Level II
Potable Water System project are hoping to have an easy access to potable water, thus,
they are willing to pay a certain amount to improved and sustain water supply services.
In the consultation meeting conducted in each barangay on the following dates and
venue: March 20, 2018 at Brgy. Hologan; March 21, 2018 at Brgy. Balabagon, April 3, 2018
at Brgy. Pawa; and April 16, 2018 at Brgy. Nagotgot. The said consultation meeting were
attended by 812 Household or 55% of total household beneficiaries. It was agreed that
these barangays will adopt the required Operation and maintenance (O&M) fee of
PhP5,000.00 per year consumption in the existing water system. The existing O&M fee
was an agreement done upon the construction of the existing water system but most of the
households failed to continue paying when the existing water system started to malfunction.
To make sure that they will have continuous supply of water, the residents are willing the
pay the P100.00 and other additional charges that would guarantee better water supply
services for this new proposed project.
Conclusions
The findings of this study display that the project is found to be feasible from the marketing,
technical, operational, social and environmental, financial and economic viewpoints.
Recommendations
The Municipal Government of Manito, Albay highly recommends for the funding and
implementation of this Rehabilitation and Improvement of Level III Water System at Barangay
Nagotgot Manito, Albay.
