LICENSING The Construction Industry Authority of
the Philippines (CIAP) is a government
REQUIREMENTS agency affiliated with the Department of
Trade and Industry (DTI). It was established
by Presidential Decree No. 1746, later
amended by Executive Orders Nos. 679
and 768, with the goal of promoting,
advancing, and regulating the
development of the construction sector. As
outlined in the relevant laws, the CIAP is
tasked, among other responsibilities, with
recommending and fostering the adoption
of fair and practical contract terms for
construction projects.
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AUTHORITY OF THE
PHILIPPINES (CIAP)
The primary purpose of the Construction Industry Authority of
the Philippines (CIAP) is to promote, accelerate, and regulate
the growth and development of the construction industry in the
Philippines.

1. Enhance professionalism and competence: CIAP improves

construction professionals' skills and knowledge through
licensing, accreditation, and training programs.
2. Ensure quality and safety: By setting standards and enforcing
regulations, CIAP helps to ensure the quality and safety of
construction projects.
3. Promote fair competition: CIAP aims to create a level playing
field for all players in the construction industry.
4. Support the growth of the construction sector: CIAP
contributes to the development of the construction industry by
facilitating access to markets, promoting innovation, and

WHAT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
CERTIFICATE (ECC)

What is an ECC?

It's a document that allows a proponent to

undertake or operate a proposed project
that is declared environmentally critical. It
signifies that the project has been
assessed for its potential environmental
impacts and that the proponent has
committed to implementing measures to
mitigate these impacts.
 The Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) is issued by the
Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the Philippines.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE -

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
(ECC-DENR)

The Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) is a document

issued by the DENR/EMB after a thorough review of an ECC
application. It certifies that, based on the proponent's
representations, the proposed project or activity will not result in
significant negative environmental impacts. The ECC also
confirms that the proponent has met all the requirements of the
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System and has
committed to implementing the approved Environmental
Management Plan. Additionally, the ECC outlines specific
measures and conditions that the proponent must follow both
before and during the project’s operation, and, in some cases,
during the abandonment phase, to mitigate potential
environmental impacts.
WHO IS REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR THE DENR’S ENVIRONMENTAL
COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE (ECC)?
Any proposed projects classified as Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs) or located in Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs),
and that are expected to have significant environmental impacts, must obtain an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)
from the DENR.

DENR-EMB ECC REQUIREMENTS

Below are some of the requirements to obtain an ECC, depending on the nature of the project:
Letter of request addressed to DENR-EMB declaring intent to receive ECC
Authorization from LGU confirming the suitability of the proposed project to the existing land use plan
Geo-tagged photos of the proposed project site
Map of the project area and affected areas, displaying a minimum of 1 km from the project boundaries
Staffing requirements
Project description, including raw materials that will be used and the type of technology to be used
Type and volume of products and discharges
Schematic diagram of the air pollution control facility
Schematic diagram of the wastewater treatment facility
Accomplished Project Environmental Monitoring and Audit Prioritization Scheme (PEMAPS)
 LAGUNA LAKE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
The ECC process under the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) refers to the procedure for securing an
Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for projects or businesses operating within the jurisdiction of the
LLDA. This process ensures that projects comply with environmental regulations and minimize their
environmental impact.

IMPORTANCE LLDA CLEARANCE APPLICATION

1. Application form, duly accomplished, signed, and notarized.
Environmental Protection: Prevents 2. Environmental Compliance Certificate OR Certificate of Non-Coverage,
projects from causing irreversible harm whichever is applicable;

 HOUSING AND LAND USE REGULATORY BOARD
(HLURB)
The process for securing an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the Housing and Land Use
Regulatory Board (HLURB), now known as the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development
(DHSUD), involves complying with requirements specific to housing, subdivision, and other real estate
developments. Here’s an overview of the ECC process in the context of real estate projects:

Process for Obtaining an ECC for HLURB/DHSUD Projects

1. Determine ECC Applicability Not all real estate projects require an ECC. Small-scale projects (e.g., less than 1 hectare or fewer than
10 units) may be exempt. Large-scale projects (e.g., subdivisions, condominiums, housing developments) require an ECC.
2. Prepare Required Documents

The following documents are typically required for the ECC application:
Project Description Report (PDR): Details about the project’s location, design, and environmental impact mitigation measures.
Location/Vicinity Map: Showing the project site and nearby facilities or features.
Environmental Management Plan (EMP): Outlining strategies for managing environmental risks.
Engineering Plans and Drawings: Site development plan, drainage plan, and zoning clearance.
Community Endorsements (if applicable): Resolutions or certifications from local government units (LGUs).
Barangay Clearance and Land Use Zoning Compliance: Ensuring the project is compliant with local land use plans.
Proof of Ownership: Titles, lease agreements, or rights to the propert

Integration with HLURB/DHSUD Requirements While the ECC

is issued by DENR-EMB, it is one of the prerequisites for
securing licenses or permits from DHSUD/HLURB, such as:

Locational Clearance

Subdivision Development Permit

License to Sell
 PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC ZONE AUTHORITY (PEZA)
PERMITS

The Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) process for projects under the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA)
involves ensuring that business operations and developments within economic zones comply with environmental regulations.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) is the primary agency
responsible for issuing the ECC, while PEZA oversees compliance within its economic zones.

Purpose of the ECC for PEZA Projects

The ECC ensures that economic zone developments and projects:
1. Prevent and mitigate negative environmental impacts.
2. Align with national environmental laws.
3. Promote sustainable and responsible development.

ECC Application Process for PEZA Projects

1. Check Project Coverage
- Determine if the project requires an ECC or is eligible for a Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC) from the DENR-EMB. Projects with
potentially significant environmental impacts typically require an ECC.
2. Prepare Required Documents
 PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC ZONE AUTHORITY (PEZA)
PERMITS

The following are typically needed for ECC applications:

1. Letter of Intent to Apply for ECC: Addressed to the DENR-EMB.

2. Project Description Report (PDR): A summary of the project’s purpose, scope, location, and potential environmental
impacts.
3. Vicinity Map and Location Map: Showing the project site and its surroundings.
4. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Required for environmentally critical projects (ECPs).
5. Environmental Management Plan (EMP): Outlining measures for mitigating environmental risks.
6. Proof of PEZA Registration: Certificate of Registration or endorsement from PEZA.
7. Zoning and Land Use Clearance: Ensures the project complies with the local land use plan.
Enterprises that are 100% foreign-owned and engaged in preferred areas of investment
are entitled to tax incentives and exemptions from the Board of Investments (BOI) and
the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
