5-Yr SDMP

ROSARIO MANOBO MINING CORPORATION
Five (5) – Year Social Development & Management Program
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In conjunction with the revised Implementing Rules and Regulations on the Implementation
of the Social Development and Management Program for the development of the host and
neighboring communities as stipulated in Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Administrative Order No. 2010-21 of Chapter XIV Section 134, the Rosario Manobo Mining
Corporation (RMMC) prepared the first ever Five-Year SDMP which envisions to assist in
the development of the host community wherein the primary goal of the Program is intended
for the general welfare of the mining community specifically in improving the quality of life of
the marginalized and disadvantaged families even after the mining company/mineral
processing plant ceases its operation. The law further embraces the important components
that the mining industry needs to become vibrant, responsive and responsible.
For a mining company, the participation of the mining communities is considered vital in
crafting a realistic, harmonized and community- based programs, projects and activities to be
included in the SDMP. The SDMP and the identified PPAs will guide the mining companies
in the allocation of resources, materials and technical know-how in the implementation of the
PPAs of the SDMP. This 1st Social Development and Management Program attest to the
sincerity of Rosario Manobo Mining Corporation (RMMC) on its commitment for the
development of their host barangay.
In the process of formulating the SDMP, the Company conducted a Community/Sectoral

consultation in determining the needs of the host community. Likewise, the company
combined the data on the current Barangay Development Plan & local socio-economic
profiles as basic references in the preparation of this Program. The data and information
gathered generally described the situation of the community highlighting the perceived and
existing problems, issues and concerns prevailing therein.
This SDMP document discusses the company profile as well as the type and description of
its mining operation, overview and method, site profiles and the general description of the
host and neighboring communities. This also includes the results of the community
assessment, the development framework as well as the programs/projects/activities for the
5-year SDMP.
In the end, RMMC is hopeful that through this SDMP, it will uplift the quality of life of the
people living in the host barangay even after the end of the Company’s operation.
II. INTRODUCTION
In consonance with the policies of Republic Act 7942, the Philippine Mining Act of 1995,
Rosario Manobo Mining Corporation for the first time will implement the Social Development
and Management Program (SDMP). This SDMP is a strategic development partnership
between the Company and its host and community and other stakeholders.
In this 1st 5-year SDMP Implementation, the Company shall build community partnership and
hoping for volunteerism particularly at the community in the implementation of the different
SDMP program, projects and activities.
1|P age
Through participatory processes like planning workshop and consultations with the Program
stakeholders, proposed programs, projects and activities were identified based on the result
of the Community Consultation made by the Company with regards to the current needs of
the barangay beneficiaries.
With the guidance of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau Region XIII, the commitment of
RMMC and the cooperation of the residents who comprise the host barangay of the

2.1.3 Brief Description of Baseline Environmental Conditions
The brief baseline environmental conditions is described as follows:

Environment Key Findings or Conclusions
Land The mine site is situated in a 20-hectare land area within APSA No. 0039-XIII. It previously operated under two
(2) Small-scale Mining Permit with an Environmental Compliance (ECC) issued in February 26, 2007 and January
19, 2007 respectively. The major land features are the Sunshine Tunnel, Loring Shaft, Mechanical Shop, grassy
settling pond and dump bin.
The mill plant and facilities are sited in a 19-hectare acquired land area at 4.0-kilometers road distance away
from APSA 0039-XIII. The major surface structures are the building hosting the crusher, ball mill and classifier,
leach tanks, thickener, carbon adsorption columns, Tailings Storage Facility (TSF), Assay laboratory and Mill
Plant Office.
The project site is characterized by rolling to moderately sloping terrain with locally rugged topography at the
eastern boundary. Elevation ranges from 90 to 440 meters above mean sea level. The site is dissected by
upstream tributaries of the Solibao River exhibiting typical dendritic drainage pattern.
Based on the soil map of Caraga Region generated by the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM), the
project site is practically underlain by the Malalag soil series classified as Typic Hapludults. Malalag series are
upland primary soils developed from a mixture of metamorphic, igneous and shale parent rocks. It is described
as well-drained soil but because of the hilly and mountainous relief where it developed, it is best suited for forestry
than agriculture.
The project site is about 24.5 kilometers to the east of the nearest trace of the Philippine Fault Zone and is thus
not prone to ground rupture hazard. It could however experience ground tremor during a major earthquake event
particularly from movement along the Philippine Fault Zone. Assuming a 7.5 magnitude earthquake to occur at
the nearest fault trace, the expected ground shaking using the attenuation equation of Fukushima and Tanaka
will be in the range of from 0.19, 0.32 to 0.45 g for rock, medium, and soft soil, respectively.

Tenurial instruments in the municipality of Rosario includes Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) issued
by DAR in the Alienable and disposable land areas and NDC, CADC 153 issued to the Manobo Tribe comprising
the timberland areas, free patent and homestead patent title in the A & D areas.
Based on the Forest Land Use of the Municipality, the project site is classified as "mineral land". The project Site
has been long subject to small scale gold mining operations as it is categorized to be within the mineralized area.
The land cover is evidence with open cultivation with various Agro-forestry practice.
Water The project site based on the geographical location, straddles within the Latay Nyholm – Panganan – Maputi -
Sumugbong sub-watershed covering 22,897.75 hectares and Masabong - Anas - Tandawan - Tapo sub-
watershed. On the listed drainage of the municipality shown in only Anoling Creek is traversing the project area
with a length of 1.76 kilometers.
The Project Area is mainly drained to the northwest thru Tapo River, Kagumay River and Kumagingking River
which empties its load to Solibao River. Rose and Jacky creeks are perennial creeks that traverses the central
portion of the Project Area flowing in a northwesterly direction which drains the Kumagingking River.
During the months of the rainy season, particularly during nearby rains, the waters in the major drainage swell
and sometimes developed into minor floods. All the waters of the rivers and its tributaries are drained to Solibao
River and finally to Agusan River.
The water quality of Jacky Creek shows significant levels of mercury (Hg) while excessive levels of total
suspended solids (TSS) is noted in Sumogbong, Tapo and Jacky Creeks.
An unknown creek traversing the mill plant is significantly dry.
Air The climate in Agusan del Sur is Type Il climate. It is generally wet all year round with heaviest precipitation from
December to January. The province receives a monthly average rainfall of 355mm and an average temperature
of 27.15°C.
Page | 5
Three (3) monitoring stations were established at the mine site, Sitio Loring and Mill Plant. Ambient concentration
of particulate matter (PM10), total suspended solids (TSP), sulfur dioxide (S02) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
including ambient noise measurement were All within DENR Standards.

III. OVERVIEW OF THE SDMP
3.1 Rationale
Republic Act (RA) No. 7942, otherwise known as the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 and its
Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) including Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR) Administrative Order No. 2010-21 (Sec. 136-A), mandates
all mining and mineral processing companies to "prepare an SDMP, in consultation and in
partnership with the host and neighboring communities”. The SDMP shall be actively
promoted and shall cover and include all P/P/As towards enhancing the development of
the host and neighboring communities. Host community refers to the barangay (s) where
the mining area is located, and neighboring community refers to the barangay(s) adjacent
to the host community.
Based on Section 134-D of the above stated DAO, the required minimum allocation of the
mining company should be 1.5% of its operating cost for the following: 75% (of the 1.5%)
for the implementation of the Development of Host & Neighboring Communities; 10% (of
the 1.5%) for the implementation of the Program for the Development of Mining
Technology and Geosciences; and 15 % (of the 1.5%) for the implementation of the
Promotion of Public Awareness & Education on Mining Technology & Geosciences.
The DENR DAO 2010-21 further stipulates that the SDMP shall be prepared and
submitted to the MGB Regional Office for approval as provided for in Section 136-B. In
Section 135 (DENR-DAO 2010-21), the PPAs under the following areas of concern are
considered creditable activities and expenditures of SDMP:

The Social Development and Management Program of Rosario Manobo Mining

Corporation covers only Barangay Sta. Cruz in the Municipality of Rosario, Agusan del
Sur.
3.2 Goals and Objectives
The SDMP as described in the MGB Primer is "a tool for the development and
implementation of community Programs / Projects / Activities (PPAS) in consultation and
in partnership with the host and neighboring communities".
The law defines the SDMP "as a comprehensive five-year plan towards the sustained
improvement in the living standards of the host and neighboring communities by creating
responsible, self-reliant and source-based communities capable of developing,
implementing, and managing community development programs, projects and activities in
a manner consistent with principle of people empowerment
All SDMPs should therefore be designed to align with mandated goals and objectives,
namely:
1. Meet minimum basic needs of the mining communities and promote sound society
and enhance human welfare.
2. Optimize the advancement of human resources which includes community

development and people empowerment to attain self-help, self-reliant and self-
managed communities
3. Provide opportunities for a self-sustained livelihood (means of income) thus

decreasing dependency on the benefits derived from the mining companies
4. Promote conservation and intellectual use/management of the environment vis-â-

vis community and mining activities; and
5. Protect socio-cultural values and local patterns amidst improved economic

condition and human advancement

3.3 Phasing
Towards the implementation of the SDMP, the Company shall be responsible in the
implementation of the different programs, projects and activities embodied in the SDMP.
The Company through the Community Relations Office, conducts consultation with the
communities prior to implementation of the PPA'S, prepare the necessary documents, and
establish linkages with National Government Agencies concerned. The actual
implementation of PPA's is the responsibility of the Company.
All identified PPAs included in the SDMP follow a program for implementation presented
in a table format, each PPA has a corresponding budget and a timetable of execution
within the SDMP Five-Year implementation timeframe.
As provided by the lRR of R.A. 7942, the Company together with the community
representatives, LGU and MGB XIII will conduct monitoring and evaluation.
3.4 SDMP Methodology
The formulation of the SDMP, undergoes a series of activities with the aid of the different
methodology, tools and processes. Since the Company is on its first SDMP formulation
and implementation, a Public Scoping was conducted to inform the community of the
mining project operation. Going to the formulation of the SDMP, the Company conducted
a community consultation to determine the needs of the mining community. The
application of these methods is to fill the gaps in the implementation and will boosts the
efforts of the Company to allocate resources financial, technical or material, push for a
more democratic approach where the mining communities can fully participate in planning
and identifying community programs that will result to improvement of their socioeconomic
statures.
3.4.1 Methodology, Tools and Processes
Development Planning
In the formulation of the SDMP, a public consultation and planning workshop were
conducted, participated by the different sectoral representatives of the host barangay.
These tools were used to guide the barangay officials and mobilize support from the
community in the identification of the PPAs, the fund source, location and time frame of
implementation and the responsible person in charge in the implementation phase of the
individual PPAs. A democratic consultative- participatory approach ensures the full
participation of the members and instilling the sense of ownership of the projects.
After the finalization of the Program, Projects and Activities, the document will now
become the Five-Year Social Development and Management Program of the Company.
The document will pass through a final approval by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau
(MGB) Regional Office.

IV. HOST BARANGAY PROFILE AND SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
4.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
In 1958, Sta. Cruz, was originally named Sitio Anoling which used to be Barangay
Cabawan, under the Municipality of San Francisco. Anoling was derived from a local
dialect OLING" coming from a wood specie which is noted for its charcoal characteristic.
The National Highway was constructed in 1950 through the Department of Public Works
and Highway and the officer in charge of that time, TENIENTE DEL BARRIO was
FLORENCIO PEREZ in 1956-58.
in 1962 Anoling became a regular Barangay through the Barangay council which was then
headed by "JUAN ATUPAN" a barangay captain elect. Infrastructure like school, Barangay
hall, churches, barangay road among others were put-up during his term.
The barangay became progressive even its infancy stage due to the presence of investors
who were involved in gold mining (GOMOCO MINING Corp.) AND LOGGING
OPERATION (CONSUELO V. CALO)
Among the barangay officials who administered the barangay includes the following:
FLORENCIO PEREZ (1956-58), JUAN ATUPAN (1958-62) THOMAS CALUMA SR.
(1962-65) DOMINADOR SARATE SR. (1965-67) VEVENCIOP. OCITE SR (196772)
RAMON PUGOSA SR. (1972-82) PEDRO AVILA (1982-86) MELBINO P. OCITE SR.
(1986-2003), MARCOS A. BIGARAN SR. (2003-2007), CONCORDIO P. OCITE (2007-
2010), BELARMINO G. BALAGOT (2010-2016), MARIANITO P. GONZALES (2016-
Page | 11
2019), then Punong Barangay FELICIDAD OCITE (2019-current). In late 80's, the
barangay had an unstable peace and order situation due to the presence of the New
People's Army (NPA), Lost Command (LC) and other subversive groups.
The entry of ALSAMASA in 1983 had neutralized the activities of the different groups that
made troubles in the barangay. The forming of the ALSAMASA was facilitated after the
elections of the Punong Barangay elect MELBINO P. OCITE. This approach getting rid of
subversive and other lawless elements was materialized with assistance of the National
Government. At present, the barangay is a pleasant place to live in.
Due to the stable Peace and Order condition of the place it was able to build Public Market,
a community High School and Elementary School, Health Center, Barangay Information
Center, BNS Station, Nutrition Post in different puroks, Solar dryer at Purok Padigusan,
waiting shed in all puroks, Primary school, Daycare Center, Covered Court, Barangay
Road Network, Material Recovery Facility, Barangay Evacuation Center, Ongoing project
of Barangay Health Station and Pavement. Also present in the barangay are different
religious sector. Barangay Sta. Cruz then was the model barangay for education; thus,
putting up high school main campus with two (2) annexes to other barangays located at
Barangay Bayugan 3 and Novele.
Barangay Sta. Cruz has been a recipient of various National, Provincial and Municipal
program and projects i.e. farm to market road, National Greening Program (NGP) and
yellow corn, rice seed subsidy, coconut, rubber production and reforestation projects. For
the daily subsistence needs of the people, small scale mining is commonly done as source
of alternative livelihood.
4.2 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND LAND USE
4.2.1 Geographic Location

being strategically located along the National Highway. Remote areas or interior Purok
commonly used single motor vehicles as way of transportation which commonly known as
"Habal Habal".
4.2.3 Land Area and Classification
As per record of the Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) of Rosario,
Barangay Sta. Cruz has a total land area of 5,563 hectares; it is the third biggest barangay
in terms of land area next to Wasian.
Page | 12
As to soil classification, based on soil analysis at provincial Agriculture Office and

Municipal Agriculture Office of Rosario; Sta. Cruz is suitable to all kinds of crop based on
its elevation requirements. In lowland and Marshland, rice, corn and vegetables are
suitable crops that can be grown if proper drainage canal will be put-up. The rolling areas
with Kidapawan loam soil classification and elevation that is not more than 18 degree is
suitable for banana, abaca, coffee, rubber, fruit trees, oil palm and other fast-growing trees
i.e. falcata, mangium, bagras and Gemelina.
4.2.4 Topography and Slope Category
The topography and slope of the barangay ranges from gently sloping to rolling terrain in
eastern part and generally flat in western part mostly planted with rice.
4.2.5 Climate and Rainfall Pattern
Barangay Sta. Cruz including the other barangays of Rosario and the entire province of
Agusan del Sur has a Type II climate, indicating absence of a pronounced dry season and
where all the months throughout the year would always have rainy days.

4.2.6 Soil Type
Based on soil analysis and as per record of Municipal Planning and Development Office
(MPDO), Municipal Agriculture Office of Rosario, barangay Sta. Cruz has three (3) types
of soil namely:
1. MOUNTAIN SOIL UNDIFFERENTIATED - Mostly found in the hilly areas and best
for abaca, coconut, fruit trees, rubber, cash crops, fast growing trees such as
falacata, acacia, magium, Gemelina, ratten and others.
2. KIDAPAWAN LOAM- Found in the lowland areas and best for rice, corn and
vegetables.
3. MAMBUTAY SANDY LOAM - Found also in the lowland and best for rice. Corn
and vegetables
4.2.7 Soil Suitability
Barangay Sta. Cruz is endowed with moderately fertile soil found suitable to various crops,
ranging from cereal, cash crops, and high valued commercial crops and fast-growing
trees. Its soil ph ranges from 5.5 to 7.5 only.
4.2.8 Erosion and Susceptibility
The upland portion of the barangay is very much susceptible to soil erosion and flash
floods due to Small Scale Mining Industry and denuded mountains. Moreover, erosion
occurred in the upland area due to the no more trees and tillage practices.
4.2.9 Flooding Hazard/ Flood Prone Areas
Some Puroks of Barangay Sta. Cruz are identified as flooding hazards, especially during
the months of November until February. Based on farmer's experience, flood prone areas
are located along Solibao River and Padigusan creeks wherein water level easily
overflowed during occurrence of heavy rains and caused considerable crops and livestock
damages. It is also observed that the creek is heavily silted due to the existing illegal
mining and Zero tillage practices or "KAINGIN" in the uplands.

Page | 25
As presented in the table, the total area planted with different crops in the barangay
involves 795.25 hectares. It is noted that said area is considerably larger than the actual
agricultural area declared as per land use data. This means that some Forestland areas
are now planted with agricultural crops like rubber and coconut, in as much that said area
is now issued with CADT under CAMPACCAM. Rice is the largest area of land utilization
in Barangay Sta. Cruz with 206 hectares; followed by Rubber with 179 and coconut by
115 hectares and fruit trees as the least land area such as rambutan and mangosteen with
only 1.5 hectares respectively.
However, there are still potential areas that needs to be developed comprising 930
hectares; of which rubber, banana and coconut could be the largest possible crops to be
planted and that more farmers currently expand in planting these crops.

4.4.1.1.2 Agricultural Land Cultivated by Households
The information presented in the matrix determines that most of the households have
small landholdings, of which 36 households cultivated less than 1 hectare and 49 with 1-
3 hectares. But despite of small landholdings, the government should introduce alternative
means of land utilization that the farmers could obtain high yield; implement land-based
projects that require small area but will give higher income and benefits like diversified
farming system technologies.

4.4.1.1.3 Sustainability of Agricultural Land Use
Agricultural lands are currently and diversely used for basic commodity crops, medium
and long-term crops. Farming practices of the farmers are a combination of traditional
cropping systems and use of highly commercialized inputs especially for rice and corn that
will deplete soil fertility in the near future; thereby, increasing the production cost and
reduces the income of the farmers.
In order to sustain the productivity of the agricultural lands, adaptation of sustainable

agricultural practices such as the use of organic farming, diversified farming system and
sustainable technologies should be intensified. The local government unit is trying to
develop environment-friendly legislations and developmental programs/project so that
economic initiatives and benefits of the constituents will not be jeopardized. Since the
barangay is rich in mineral deposits Like gold, agricultural zone should not be maximized
for this purpose instead protective measures must be institutionalized with appropriate
sanctions against encroachments.
The people also should promote alternative but sustainable means of land utilization
thereby increasing the productivity and income of their families respectively. This could be
made through awareness building and capacity enhancement activities on sustainable
agriculture practices in the barangay and continuous advocacy on environmental
protection for sustainable use.
4.4.1.1.4 Production by Type of Crops
In the table on the next page, the three major crops planted in the barangay includes rice,
rubber, and coconut. Rice involves 206 hectares physical area, and planted twice a year
with an average yield of 3 mt./hectare, Rubber involves 179 hectares with average yield
of 0.5mt./hectare/month, and coconut which is 115 hectares area planted and an average
yield of 1.5 mt./hectare per month. Minor crops include fruit trees like durian, lanzones,
rambutan, mangosteen, and marang which comprise a total area of 18 has. 27 hectares,
1.5 hectares and 4.0 hectares respectively. Palm oil Is also another minor crop planted in
the barangay with a total area of 52 hectares and average yield of 2.0 mt./ha. per month.
During the focus group discussion, it was known that people only use the traditional means
of farming considering that soil fertility is not much depleted. Most farmers only apply
minimal inorganic fertilizer and only few applied organic fertilizers.
With this current situation of production in the barangay, there are some issues and
problems that needs to be considered and shall be given priority response which include:
the lack of techniques to maximize land cultivation, insufficient technology to increase
productivity, no farm planning practice, farmers never practice crop rotation, and weak
adaptation to organic fertilization and financial incapacity. Another concern IS that
promotion of local demonstration sites of various cropping systems is not given
importance, so that the farmers could gain enough knowledge and techniques to increase
productivity.

LEGEND :
Land Preparation Planting
Care and Maintenance Harvesting
The cropping pattern of rice and corn in the barangay is being presented in the table
above; of which both crops have two cropping seasons within whole year round. For rice,
farmers prepare their land on the months of January to February for first cropping and by
July to August for the second cropping. After land preparation, they start planting on the
same months both for first and second cropping seasons. Care and maintenance will
follow right after planting schedules which fall every February until May for first cropping
and August until November for the second cropping. Harvesting of rice will be in the
months of May to June and October to November. In the month of December, no farming
activities for rice farmers due to rainy season which will commonly resulted to flashfloods.
On the other hand, land preparation for corn starts on February until March for first
cropping season and on July until August for second cropping period. At the start of the
land preparation, care and maintenance also begin for the first cropping until May and until
October on the second cropping. However, planting period is within March and April for
Page | 30
first cropping period and from August until September for the next cropping every year.
Harvesting periods are within May and June first cropping and October and November for
the next period.
b. Labor Requirements
Figure 3. Seasonality Diagram: Labor Requirement

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
High
Minimal
Low
High demand for labor force is during land preparation and planting period and it increases
during harvest time. Minimal requirement of labor is during the care and maintenance
period and least demand for labor is during the lean period which is on December. Low
labor requirement in agriculture tends the people to venture to another source of income
and alternative livelihoods like mining and as laborer in logging operations. During high
demand for labor force, people have enough food for consumption.
In most cases, source of labor force in the area is mostly by hiring individuals outside the
family from 10 to 15 persons.
4.4.1.1.6 Occurrence of Pests and Diseases
The pests that usually attacked the rice crop include; stem borer, black bug, stem rot, rats
and golden apple snails. Disease occurrences are identified as tungro, the most
destructive disease (virus); sheath blight, bacterial leaf blight and blast. For corn, pests
and diseases are the corn borer, stalk rot and downy mildew. In time of infestation of these
destructive insects, farmers usually applied commercial insecticides, pesticides and
rodenticides. None of them employed organic means of preventive measures.
4.4.1.1.7 Livestock and Poultry
The table below presents the number and major livestock raised by the households in the
barangay. These are: carabao with 123 heads, cattle got 28 heads, hog/swine has 330
heads, goat with 72 heads and poultry with 405 birds.

Household raising livestock is also determined and enumerated by purok as shown in the
table below. Among the large ruminants raised by the households, carabao is the most
numbered animal since these are usually used in rice and corn farming. In fact, 54
households in the barangay own a carabao however no information as to its production
and breeding level. Swine is the next type of livestock where 19 households have raised
it for fattening and breeding. Other livestock such as cattle and goat are minimal in number
only.
These animals contribute greatly to the farmers in terms of their income and farming
activities. Fattened swine are sold when they reach the marketable weight and carabao is
used in land cultivation and hauling of farm products. In terms of market competitiveness,
the farmers are still far behind the modern and value-added means or practices in livestock
raising. Most of them merely raise livestock for household consumption and other
domestic purposes and at backyard level only.
Page | 32
Relevant issues and problems experienced by the households in raising livestock are the
financial! incapacity to buy feeds, lack of technology on raising livestock, insufficient
medicine for animals, and the lack of techniques on modern and sustainable methods of
livestock raising. These factors caused an on and off way of raising livestock hence greatly
affect volume of production.

The table presents the number of households raising poultry by purok. There are 108
households raising poultry chicken in the barangay purposely for meat and egg production
and mostly of native breeds; and eight (8) households raised ducks. On the other hand,
some households also raise cockfighting chicken which follows the required feeding
system and standard fencing, schedule and quantity.

In poultry production, usual contribution to the farmers is by means of actual cash earned
after harvest and their income is much greater than the backyard raisers, who Simply
consume their chicken usually at 1-kilogram live weight more or less as their direct source
of food rather than an income.
In terms of modernization, poultry raising in the barangay needs to be enhanced to be

more competitive. This means that it must have to address some issues and concerns like
updated technology on poultry raising, production financing to undergo commercial mode
of raising and for maximum utilization of local resources to attain development potentials.
Without such interventions, the barangay could not compete in the market trends.
4.4.1.1.8 Occurrence of Pests and Diseases
Common livestock pests affecting small and large animals and poultry include internal
parasites like liver flukes and other types of worms. With regards to diseases, most
prevalent are hog and fowl cholera, diarrhea and other bacterial and fungal infections. In
order to eradicate these pests and diseases. raisers apply synthetic medicines as per
advice of livestock technicians and at the owners' initiatives. The LGU Rosario, through
the MAO and with the assistance of Provincial Veterinary Office regularly conduct mass
Page | 33
deworming and vaccination yearly, however, due to limited funds, the program could not
serve the total livestock and poultry population in the barangay. In addition, there are
cases wherein outbreak of viral diseases on poultry occurs due to lack of proper
coordination/information in conducting vaccination among cock fighting raisers.
Livestock and poultry raising is a potential business that will give the farmers greater
income and benefits. But this should be backed up both by technical and financial Support
from the local government and individual raisers. Since undertaking this activity Is likely
possible in the barangay based on the information, the local government should extend
some actions so that local economy will be boosted thus alleviating economic condition of
the households.
4.4.1.1.9 Fisheries
Existing rivers and creeks in the barangay are identified with their corresponding distance
from the barangay proper as shown in the table below. Freshwater fish like mudfish, tilapia,
catfish, carpa and other species are found, though not abundant in use Creeks and
tributary rivers within the barangay.
Marshland area is 6 kilometers from the barangay proper and it is considered as the
communal fishing ground of the people, and one source or fresh water fish of the
barangay. Here the people could go into fishing and could have got something for
household consumption and for business activity: however, the location of this fishing
ground is no longer part of the barangay. Fishing for home consumption is commonly done
during dry season because of low water level hence making It easy to catch by means of
fish net.

4.4.1.1.10 Food Supply and Requirement
Based on per capita consumption for rice at 98 kilograms per person per year and with
the barangay having a total population of 5,512, about 540 tons of ice is needed per year
by the populace. Meanwhile the annual production of palay from 206 hectares planted
twice (2) per year at 3 tons per hectares per cropping is 1,236 tons and at 65% milling
recovery about 803.4 tons of rice is produced per year as presented in the table below.
Hence, the barangay is surplus in terms of milled rice which is 263.23 Mt. This volume of
supply is commonly brought to Davao City and other neighboring provinces in as much
that farmers directly sell their produce to the traders/buyers who also provided their farm
financing.
Corn, on the other hand, has a production of 9.75 metric tons per annum as stated in table
below, which is very minimal compared to rice. Most Corn produce is usually utilized for
poultry consumption.

4.4.1.1.11 Agricultural Facilities
The table below shows the different farm machineries, tools and equipment’s present in
the barangay. Firstly, with respect to rice & corn production; there are only 5 units turtle
Page | 35
tiller and 4 units rice thresher available in the barangay. Rice mill has 2 units, corn mill 1
unit, corn sheller 1 unit and solar dyer 5 units.
Considering the existing production areas of these crops, it could be assessed that there
is shortage in these facilities especially during peak season. The barangay is still far
behind in terms of farm mechanization which is equally important factor for agricultural
development for intensified production.
There are twelve (12) types of farm tools and equipment that are readily available at
barangay Sta. Cruz. Looking into the existing facilities, pre and post-harvest equipment
are very minimal against the area planted with rice and corn. Thus, relevant problem that
need to consider in this aspect is the insufficient supply of farm tools and equipment.
Though not all puroks have rice and corn fields but still it remains a big concern by the
LGUs and other development institutions operating in the area. This is a challenge under
the modernization stage especially in agriculture production.

4.4.1.2 Production Support
In terms of agricultural services, production support includes seeds and fertilizers from
government and non-government organization. The local government unit of Barangay
Sta. Cruz provided rodenticides for the rat control program in the barangay, free vegetable
seeds to the farmers and rice seeds subsidy, organic fertilizers. In 2003, MELAMDEC
vegetable seeds, and anti-rabies programs from DA demonstrated organic farming in the
barangay in partnership with the Municipal, Government of Rosario and Barangay LGU.
Page | 36
4.4.1.3 Market Development
The market system in the barangay is usually done within the barangay during Market Day
(Tabo), but there are products sold outside like rice, corn, banana, and rubber which are
sold in Tagum City, Davao City, Municipality of San Francisco and other neighboring
provinces. Currently, the local market outlet for commodities is the local buyers Such as
rice and corn millers, corn buyers, copra buyers and sari-sari stores. However, external
buyers or "strikers" as people called are also considered as their market outlet of their
products.

The players involved in the market chain in the barangay are the traders, households and
the sari-sari store or local buyers. With this situation, the traders could have bigger profit
after processing the fresh products directly sold by the farmers from the farm. Then
possibly the households could still be the market outlet of the processed or finished
products that is delivered by the traders. Therefore, problem should necessarily be
resolved like absence of community-driven market system, no standard product pricing
(goods and services) by the LGU and lack of product processing capability of the people.
4.4.1.3.1 Credit Facilitation
Vendors and farmers of barangay Sta. Cruz are highly dependent on credit for their capital
and crop production financing. Sources of credit mostly come from formal Financial
institution (bank) or informal financiers (usurer and private individuals), wherein vendors
usually sourced out their capital in which payment is on a daily or weekly basis. Meanwhile,
other farmers get their farm financing from traders and middlemen usually charged with
interest range from 10-15% per month and/or “Pantang” method with 1 sack palay per P
1,000.00 amount borrowed. It is also an SOP for traders/financers to automatically buy
their palay produced with prices relatively lower than prevailing price 145 or only 11% of
the total households have accessed to credit. However, of all the 17 puroks there are
seven (7) puroks whose households have either no access to credit facility or they just
wanted to avail the services. These credit services are owned and extended by private
entities and a very limited credit extended from the government agencies. Thus, some
problems that need to be prioritized include: the lack Or Credit extension service from the
government and high interest rate of credit service from the private entities.

4.4.1.4 Irrigation Development
Most farmers in barangay Sta. Cruz depend only from rainfall for their farm irrigation,
except for those who are under the Padigusan CIP (Table 23), which however, covers only
36 hectares area served. This information signifies that there is a need to improve irrigation
facilities in the area, not only to increase the service area but also to enhance cropping
intensity and improve productivity. Furthermore, potential rice areas will be more
productive if sufficient irrigation facilities will be provided.

4.4.1.5 Other Infrastructure and/or Post Harvest Development
Aside from the communal irrigation facility, other postharvest facilities existing in the
barangay includes: feed mill, multi-pass rice mill, warehouse, flatbed and mechanical dryer
which are currently owned by the LGU-Rosario. However, the feed mill and the rice mill is
not functional due to lack of operating capital, and still needs to be given appropriate action
by the present administration.
4.4.1.6 Extension Support, Education and Training Services
As to extension support services, the barangay has an assigned regular Agricultural

Technologist (AT) who is in charge in the delivery of basic technical services to the
farmers. Aside from that, the AT also serves as facilitator for strengthening of the P0's to
Page | 38
be eligible beneficiaries/recipients of different local and national programs and projects,

like MRDP. The AT is tasked to do farm visits twice a week. On the other hand, one (1)
livestock technician is assigned with municipal-wide coverage, hence She is on call basis
in the barangay as the need arises, with the assistance of veterinarians from the PVO in
addition, technical trainings on crops, livestock and poultry were usually done in the
municipal level, and that some farmers of the barangay were able to attend.

4.4.1.7 Research and Development
With regards to research and development, the barangay has no existing formal research
project implemented, except one demonstration farm on Rubber-Based Farming System
under DAR-IFAD which showcases intercropping of rubber, banana and lanzones.
4.4.1.8 Information Support
Some residents in the barangay are now using cellular phones for their communication
needs; for areas with electricity, television sets are used for recreation and news updates
in puroks with no electricity, people use battery operated AM/FM Radio. The BLGU also
purchased 4 units hand held radio issued specifically to BPLK's for emergency use.
4.4.2 Commerce and Trade
4.4.2.1 Existing Business Establishments
There are plenty business establishments in the barangay. Common establishments

operating in the barangay are eatery/carenderia and sari-sari store that totals to 72, Motor
Mill/Rod Mill, 19; Gold, Silver, Copper, etc. buyer, 14 and Videoke/karaoke, 17.
Table below shows that aside from mentioned establishments, there are other businesses
in the barangay like Agri-Vet Supply, bakeshop, Fish vending, Jewelry & furniture shop,
buyers of agricultural products and scraps.

4.4.2.2 Potential Resources for Industry Development
Barangay Sta. Cruz being known for its gold mining industry has significant number of gold
extraction and processing activities as shown in the table on the next page; with 33
establishments. Jewelry making is most feasible in the area since it is a marketing outlet
of raw materials like gold and silver. Restaurants are also remarkable in number as it is
found that food business is feasible in the area in times when there is influx of people in
mining area.

4.4.3 Environment and Services Sector
4.4.3.1 Forestry
Barangay Sta. Cruz has vast forestland area as per land use data. This area located in
the eastern part is observed to have second growth forest cover since for quite some time
illegal logging became rampant in these areas cutting down natural grown trees. However,
since Potable water source of Rosario is located specifically at Maputi and within this
forestland coverage, the barangay in coordination with the MLGU take necessary steps to
preserve and protect the watershed area by having constant tree planting handled by the
MENRO; and provided legislation support to strictly prohibit cutting of trees. Some
reforestation activities were also done which involve planting of fast-growing tree species
like falcata, mangium, gemelina, mahogany, rubber and others within these areas.
4.4.3.1 Minerals and Resource Utilization and Management
Aside from agricultural and Agro-industrial areas, Barangay Sta. Cruz has also mineral
resources available like gold and silver. These resources were being utilized and became
alternative source of income of the people. A lot of small-scale mining operated in the
barangay which involve open cut tunnel system of extracting mineral ore and subsequently
these ore are being processed to extract gold. Gold processing includes ball mill/rod mill
which has 44 sites located not in designated places, some are at the tunnel site and some
within the residential areas. In addition, mini processing plant for gold also exists in the
barangay with 8 sites, and the said plants are utilizing cyanide in their processing
operation. These matters greatly affect the general public, as it created water
contaminations of mercury and cyanide that to the extent crops and livestocks were being
affected due to none compliance of proper waste disposal/mitigating measures. This is
aggravated by the laxity in the enforcement of environmental/mining laws rules &
regulations and needs prompt action to be taken.
4.4.3.3 Solid Waste Management
Most households in the barangay adopt the collect and dump method of waste disposal.
The barangay LGU in coordination with the MENRO now started implementing the
Material Recovery Facility (MRF) wherein some puroks have constructed said facility.
Garbage from households was deposited in their designated MRE, and the garbage truck
of the LGU has scheduled collection every Thursday. Segregation of degradable and non-
degradable materials however was not actually practiced by the households though
constant IEC was done per purok. On the other hand, the ed municipal dump site is still
temporarily located at Purok Buhisan of Poblacion Rosario.

During the consultation, it was known that elementary education in Barangay Sta. Cruz as
completely established in 1987. In fact, the table shows that there are four (4) types of
building available in the barangay. Each building was constructed in different years like
the TEEP and FVR which were made in 1992; MARCOS/BLSB on 1969 and PTA Building
on 1981. These had been constructed for various usage such as office and academic
classroom, industrial and home economics, science, library and pre- school academic.
These buildings were acquired through national government budget and are still in good
condition except for one that needs repair.

the barangay constructed in different years from 1996 to 2006 through DPWH-national
government budget. Considering the period of construction, most units are in good
condition but there are some that need repairs. These buildings are actually used for
academic classroom, office, computer laboratory, science laboratory and home
economics.

4.4.4.1.2 Classroom-Pupil Ratio and Teacher-Pupil Ratio by Level
Considering that Barangay Sta. Cruz has a complete elementary education, the table
below present the various levels from kinder to grade 6; of which a total of 26 classrooms
Page | 43
are available and considered operational with 1,289 pupils enrolled. Each classroom has
an average number of pupils ranging from 91 to 179 students or 1:30 and 1:60 classroom-
pupil ratio. Students are handled by 35 advisory teachers with 1:22 and 1:36 teacher-pupil
ratio in different grade levels. Further, three (3) teachers are assigned in the faculty.
As to the classroom-teacher-pupil ratio, there is a need for additional classrooms

especially for grade 1, 4, 5 and 6; and teachers of the same grade levels in order to
maintain good and quality learning comprehension of the students.

For high school, a total of 13 classrooms are available in the school with 645 students
enrolled. Each classroom is occupied with 1:63 to 1:28 ratio of students handled by
thirteen (13) advisory teachers in all year levels. However, each teacher has managed
188 to 56 students, with thirteen (13) teachers who are assigned in the faculty. With this
information, high school education in the barangay is still below the ideal range in terms
of classroom-teacher-pupil ratio. Thus, additional classrooms and teachers should be
provided to attain quality education.

On the result of the achievement rate of the pupils in elementary level, it is presented that
the highest rate was attained in 2007-2008 school year with 83.69 percent and .0 percent
in 2008-2009 as the lowest achievement rate. The high rate of achievement was made
Page | 45
through Saturday classes and review, remedial tests an intelligence Quotient (IQ) test of
pupils conducted annually. However, this was not sustained thus decreases the
achievement rate especially in latest school year due to insufficient supply of review
materials.

The table below shows that achievement rate of high school students in Barangay Sta.
Cruz is far below the 100% highest rate. It is very clear that the highest rate is only 52.27
percent in 2004-2005 school year and the lowest rate is determined in 45.50 percent in
school year 2007-2008. But there two school years which do not have available data as
confirmed by the participants during the consultation.
The type of test conducted to measure the achievement of the pupils is through the
national achievement test (NAT) which is conducted annually. And the reason for minimal
achievement rate is the lack of review materials and absences of the students Thus,
educational performance of high school students needs to enhanced and be given primary
consideration.

VI. SDMP DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
The SDMP framework is anchored on the principle of sustainable development and it Is

further guided by the vision and aspirations of the host mining community of RMMC. Since
it's the company's first Social Development & Management Program, the company
together with the community identify & develop programs for the socio- economic
improvement of the host barangay.
6.1 Development Strategies
The SMDP will have the following development strategies:
1. Information, Communication and Education (ICE) Program
Harmonious relationship is vital in any community undertaking. This is attainable only if

the parties involved will achieve certain degree of transparency and mutual trust. A
continuing an intensive Information, Communication, Education (ICE) campaigns and
consultations will be the norm in carrying out this plan. Regular community meetings, open
discussions and dialogues will be the venue of the people to express their problems and
concerns and for the company and other stakeholders to relay their intentions and present
their issues.
Other forms of information dissemination such as radio programs, flyers, leaflets,

brochures, newsletters and billboards among others will be used to keep the people
informed and aware of what is going on with regards to the development of the community
as well as sharpen their awareness on their roles and responsibilities towards achieving
community development goals.
Page | 64
2. Strengthening Support and Coordination with People's Organization and

Cooperatives
People's organizations and cooperatives have become major partners for development
and RMMC believe that these organizations are the best partners in achieving the intents
and purposes of the SDMP. Supporting existing barangay POs and cooperatives create
an atmosphere of trust between RMMC and a culture supportive of local enterprise
development.
3. Networking and Resources Mobilization
RMMC believes that working and collaborating with other groups such as government and
NGOs are necessary for maximum and effective social development program. RMMC will
coordinate and conduct linkage work with other groups which may have the resources
(human, technical, and financial) needed for some of the components of this program.
This will be done in order to maximize resources allocation and mobilization. National Line
Agencies especially DA & BFAR, NGOs, and other institutions can be tapped by RMMC
as far as conduct on training needs, livelihood programs and training, while linkage with
NGOs and government agencies can also be established for project funding and other
assistance.
4. Human Resources Management
The company will consider the residents of the impact area for both direct and indirect
employment. More so, RMMC can also facilitate training and development of qualified
human resource within the host mining barangays relative to efficiently implement PPAs
in the SDMP.
The strategy will include both formal and informal training. Formal training will include
conduct of seminars and skills enhancement, entrepreneurial development, livelihood
management, and other training in coordination with the above-mentioned agencies and
various stakeholders in the Community. Informal training will include on-the-job training
and apprenticeship.
5. Social Infrastructure
Social infrastructures also form part of SDMP strategy. These infrastructures provide the
necessary framework for the effective and efficient implementation of the program. The
SDMP includes the following components: provision of basic social services such as water
facilities, electric connection (residential and street lightning); road upgrading and
construction; and access and use of medical and recreational facilities.
6. Sustainable Livelihood Development
The community with the assistance and guidance of the company and other development
institutions have to identify, develop and manage income generating projects that is viable
