I. INTRODUCTION

I.A PROVINCIAL BACKGROUND

Geographical Location
The Province of Albay is geographically
located at the southeastern tip of the Luzon
mainland situated in Region V (Bicol). It lies
between 1230 15’ and 1240 15’ East
Longitude and extends from 130 10’ to 130 32’
North Latitude. It is bounded on the eastern
seaboard by the Pacific Ocean, on the north
to northeastern portion by the Province of
Camarines Sur and Lagonoy Gulf, Burias
Pass on the west, and the Province of
Sorsogon on its southern flank. Albay has a Figure 1: Map of Albay
land area of 2,554.06 square kilometers,
politically subdivided into 15 municipalities, three cities and 720 barangays. At present, it has
three congressional districts.

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.

The terrain of the province is characterized by


different slope gradients. Slope group with 0-3
percent covers 50,175 hectares or 19.65
percent of the total area of the province and
area classified as level to nearly level areas.
These areas are best recommended for rice, Figure 2: Albay Tourism Map
vegetables, inland fisheries and others. The 3-
8 percent slope categories are classified as gently sloping to undulating terrain also suited for
rice, corn and vegetables and estimated to have 34,117 has. These areas have less
development costs compared to other slope group and rich in soil nutrients and minerals. It is
generally used for agricultural production and settlement.

Economy

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY

NAGOTGOT
The province’ main industry is on Agricultural products like coconut, rice, sweet potato, pili
and abaca. Handicrafts are the major source of rural income and comprise a fairly large
share in the small-scale industries of the province. Forestry, cement production and paper-
making are other sources of livelihood. The manufacture of abacá products such as Manila
hemp, hats, bags, mats, furniture, home decors and slippers is one of the main sources of
income in the rural areas. Fishing is the main livelihood along both shores of the province.
Tourism, especially related to Mayon Volcano, also creates income for Albay. For the year
2013, Albay had a total of 339,445 foreign tourist arrivals.

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.

Agriculture and Rural Development Sectors

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.

NAGOTGOT
Manito is located on the south-eastern tip of Albay, adjoining the south-eastern limit
of Legazpi City. The west and NW coast of Manito lies along Polique Bay opposite the city
of Legazpi. To the north and north-east coast of the municipality lies Albay Gulf. To the
east and south of Manito is the province of Sorsogon separated by the Pocdol Mountains,
which is also called as the Bacon-Manito Volcanic Complex. Because of topography, the
two provinces are not connected along the coast. A mountain pass from barangay Nagotgot
connects Manito to Sorsogon City in Sorsogon province.

Southwest of the poblacion is barangay Buyo separated by the Buyo River. The two
rivers serve as irrigation for small rice fields and water sources for the residents.

Manito is politically subdivided into 15 barangays. Fourteen (14) are classified


as rural areas and only the poblacion (town center, also known as Brgy. It-ba), is classified
as an urban area. The poblacion is situated on the north-western seashore of the town,
south of the mouth of the Camanitohan River. Northwest of the town center is barangay
Cawit, separated by the Caminatoha. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the
municipality has a land area of 107.4 square kilometres (41.5 sq mi) constituting 4.17% of
the 2,575.77-square-kilometre- (994.51 sq mi) total area of Albay.

In the 2017 census, Manito had a population of 25,548 wherein Poblacion and its
adjacent barangay which is Buyo, has the largest population of 3,599 and 3,720
respectively. The population density was 235 inhabitants per square kilometer (600/sq mi).

B. Economy

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 municipality of Manito emerged in the limelight when it became a reservation


area for Geothermal Exploration and development. It was in June 1994 that Bacman
Geothermal Production Field has started its full operation and in October 1998,
President Joseph Estrada inaugurated the additional 1.5 megawatt power/multi-crop drying
plant in support of his food security program.

Tourism industry is starting to contribute to economic development of the local


people. Increasing number of tourists visits the municipal tourist destinations such as the
Nag-Aso Boiling Lake, Muladbucad Beach, Parang Hot Spring, Mud Pool, and the Mangrove
Plantation found along the sheltered coastline where wave activity tends to be minimal. It
provides a valuable physical habitat for fishes, crabs and other species.

Business industry contributes strategically to the overall economic development of


any locality. It strengthens the economy on a sustainable and long-term basis thereby
providing reliable employment opportunities and maximizing local revenues.

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.

II. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION PROFILE


Safe water is a basic human need that every community has the right to acquire. Having
access to this reinforces success in development areas such as adequate sanitation, human
health, quality education, the environment, agriculture, disaster resilience, and ultimately
economic growth. However, similar to many communities around the country, the Municipality
of Manito has enduring problem on insufficient supply of potable water, thus, affecting the
condition of other development areas as well.

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:

 Health related problem including the occurrence of waterborne diseases wherein


children are the one mostly affected
 Poor sanitation and hygiene wherein a number of families lives without access to
toilet facilities
 Existence of malnutrition among children
 Poor education demonstrated by having a number of children in elementary and
high school grades who are not attending school
 Poverty incidence substantiated by a number of households with income below the
poverty threshold and below food threshold

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

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY

NAGOTGOT
development challenges encountered in the barangays of Manito can be correlated to poor
access to safe water.

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.

III. THE PROJECT SERVICE AREA

A. Location

1. Geographic Boundaries
Nagotgot is situated at approximately 13.1074, 123.9064, in the island of Luzon.

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,

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY


12
NAGOTGOT
finlet scads, eastern tuna, red bigoye, red emperor, and grouper. Tilapia, on the other hand,
are being cultured in the freshwater of Barangays Nagotgot and Pawa.
Livestock and poultry raising are another source of income for a number of families.
Types of livestock includes carabao, cattle, goat, and swine while poultry includes native
chicken, ducks, and small number of geese and turkey. The average number of swine raised
is from 2 to 5 heads only.

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.

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.

A. Existing Water Supply

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.

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:

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY

NAGOTGOT
 Opportunity for improved health and the ability to fight diseases as well as reduced
physical injury from constant lifting and carrying heavy loads of water
 Chance to increase school attendance considering that children are often responsible
for collecting water to help their families. This takes time away from school and
preventing them to enjoy their childhood by unable to spend time to play.
 Giving families with work opportunities, increasing time spent for work thus increasing
income and ultimately, break the cycle of poverty

B. Location of the Proposed Structure

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.

NAGOTGOT
encasing structure. After determining the lowest spring level, 92 cubic meter intake box
should be constructed to ensure the quality of the water collated. Stone riprap will be use after
the impervious layer for the open joint. Graded gravel will be put inside the filter box so
sediments and unwarranted particles could be blocked. This will guarantee that the water
source will be safe and potable. After the completion of spring water and filter box, the
barangay will obtain a water sample and submit to Waterlab Water Testing Laboratory, Inc for
testing for Microbiological Test. The corresponding cost will be charged from LGU as part of
their equity.

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.

D. Implementation schedule of the sub-project

C. Operation and Maintenance Scheme

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.

28
NAGOTGOT
For the initial 5 years, the tariff fee will be based on the agreed amount determined during
the consultation meeting with the beneficiaries. Upon consultation, the agreed tariff fee will be
Php 100.00 per household.

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

Formation of Operation and Maintenance Group

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.

Utilization of Net Income/Profit

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.

Plan of Expanding Operation

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.

Required Technical Assistance for Sustainability

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY


29
NAGOTGOT
The LGU Manito Water Board will conduct a regular performance checkpoint to determine
the result of operations. The Board will evaluate the need of technical assistance from external
personnel/group for its sustainability. The technical assistance will be on technical, marketing,
administrative and financial aspect.

VIII. SOCIAL SAFEGUARD ANALYSIS

A. Project Beneficiaries

The project will directly benefit the local residents of Barangay Nagotgot while its
adjacent communities will also indirectly benefit.

As mentioned in the previous discussions barangay Nagotgot has a total household of


569 while the neighboring barangays has 1,423 total households. The total population of the
barangay as direct beneficiaries is 2,846 wherein 1,480 are male and 1,366 are female. The
population is projected to gain 30% increase by the year 2,028 thus, from the 2,846 population
at present, this will increase to 3,715 in which 1,932 are males and 1,784 are females.

GRAND 1,480 1,366 2,846 1,932 1,784 3,715
TOTAL

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

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY


30
NAGOTGOT
also affects working adults because their time spent for other productive works decreases and
therefore, their earnings also decline.

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.

B. Indigenous Cultural Community/Indigenous Peoples (ICC/IP)

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).

C. Damage to standing crops, houses and/or properties

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.

D. Physical displacement of persons

Again, no houses or any permanent structures will be traversed by the project thus, no
relocation of houses or structures will be done.

E. Economic displacement of persons

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.

F. Grievance Redress Mechanism

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY


31
NAGOTGOT
Measures have been and will be taken to ensure that all negative impacts of the
subprojects will be mitigated or minimized. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that some
grievances may still arise during project implementation, hence, the Municipal Local
Government of Manito has set up a Grievance Redress Mechanism.

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. Processing and Action


This second step in the grievance handling process covers the following activities:

2.1 Recording of grievance in the registry.

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.

2.4 If no understanding or amicable solution is reached, or if no response is received


from the GRT within 15 days after the registration of complaint, the APs or AHs can
appeal to the Sangguniang Bayan (SB). The SB will decide and take mitigation
measures within one month of receiving the appeal.

2.5 If no understanding or amicable solution is reached, or if no decision or mitigation


measure is received from the SB within 15 days after the registration of complaint,
the APs or AHs can appeal to the RPCO GPP. The concerned RPCO will decide
and take mitigation measures within one month of receiving the appeal.

2.6 If no understanding or amicable solution is reached, or if no response is received


from the RPCO within 15 days after the registration of complaint, the

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY


32
NAGOTGOT
APs or AHs can appeal to the NPCO GPP. The NPCO will provide a decision and
take mitigation measures within one month of receiving the appeal.

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.

IX. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

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.

Re-vegetation of cleared areas shall be undertaken as soon as construction activities are


terminated to restore original habitat.

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.

B. Physical Cultural Resources

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

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY


34
NAGOTGOT
project construction, the earth moving activities will be suspended and follows the
Archeological/Paleontological Finds Procedure. The Local Government Unit will ensure that
the project team to be hired will be oriented and will adhere to the PRDP policy on chance
finds procedure.

C. Terrain, Soil Types, and Rainfall

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.

In the construction stages of the subproject implementation, the exposure of the


construction personnel and workers to accidents and other hazards is likely to happen. The
mitigating measures that could be done by winning contractor are as follows:

a) Workers should be given orientation on safety and health safeguards.


b) Provide first aid kits and adequate safety gadgets, and
c) If possible, the sites should be secured with fence and warning signs.

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.

Earth moving activities will inevitable result to the modification of existing landscapes
and consequently after the natural drainage conditions localized in the subproject site.
Compacting and concreting activities in the construction of the facilities will reduce infiltration
rates in these areas and may result to enhanced surface runoff, flood and erosion.

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.

F. Integrated Pest Management and DA-KASAKALIKASAN

As regards Integrated Pest Management and KASAKALIKASAN, a farmers' field school


on palay check was conducted in 2013 which was attended by 180 farmer leaders.

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.

G. Environmental Safeguards Issues and Mitigation Measures

An Environmental and Social Management Plan was developed to address the issues
regarding the construction of the potable water system.

1. Incidence of Water-related Illnesses and Cases of Pre-Mature Death

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

REHABILITATION & IMPROVEMENT OF LEVEL III WATER SYSTEM AT BARANGAY


41
NAGOTGOT
their homes and community as shown in Table 4, therefore, more female members left at
their homes are the one exposed to unsafe water.

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.

4. Willingness to pay to improved water supply services

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.
