signed on February 24,
2011
• Guidelines issued on
March 8, 2011
• Launched on May 13,
2011

NATIONAL GREENING PROGRAM

Section 1. Declaration of Policy

It is the policy of the State to pursue
sustainable development for poverty
reduction, food security, biodiversity
conservation, and climate change
mitigation and adaptation.

9
NATIONAL GREENING PROGRAM

Section 2. Coverage
The National Greening Program shall
plant some 1.5 Billion trees covering
about 1.5 Million hectares for a period
of six (6) years from 2011 to 2016, in
the following lands in the public
domain…

Species
Species selection depends on objectives;
preferably indigenous/native/endemic species;
for the production zone: Species- Site- Market Matching
for the protection zone: Indigenous/native/endemic species

Timber Local demand based on
Master Plan for Forestry
Development (2003)

In 2010 – 3.73 M cu.m.

In 2021 – 5.0 M cu.m.

Wood and Paper Products

(USD 900M)

Need 750,000 hectares to be

sustainable

Higher consumption of wood

as construction material
instead of steel & concrete in
the next decade in the light
of climate change (Philippines
Forestry Outlook Study, 2009)

21
 Fuelwood
 Among the major
requirements of the
country that has been
overlooked in most area
development plans is wood
energy.
 9 million households or 46%
of the 20.2 million households
in the Philippines uses
fuelwood (NSO 2012)
 Fuelwood requirements – household and large scale industries (i. e. Tobacco
flue curing, bakeries, potteries, brick making and sugar production amounts
to 35.46 million cu.m/year with an estimated value of 11.34 Billion pesos

22
Fuelwood

 35.46 Million cu.m = 15 M. Tons oil equivalent to

of Fuelwood $ 5.2s5 Billion
= 210 Billion pesos
= 50% of our oil imports in 2012

23
Bamboo and Rattan
Executive Order 879 mandates the use
of bamboo as planting material, at least
20% of reforestation species annually
MPFD projected demand for rattan
for furniture by 2015 at 61.9
million lineal meters (low end) to
79.48 million lineal meters (high
end)
24
Industrial Crops
Coffee Cacao

Coffee ranks as 2nd most consumed Local demand for cacao exceeds
beverage in the world production

Local demand per DA for coffee beans In 2005, local consumption

is pegged at 64,000Metric tons, valued reached 50,000 metric tons
at PhP 2.5Billion
25
 Rubber
Pamplona (2012)

By year 2020, the

demand for natural
rubber (NR) is expected
to increase to 16.4 M
metric tons (around
30%) from the current
demand of 11.3 MMT

Production of NR is
estimated at 14.3 MMT,
leaving a short fall of 2.1
MMT
Rubber is a crop with high potential income above the
poverty threshold level

A well manage 1-ha rubber plantation can derive an annual

income from P79,200 to P231,300 per year.

Fruit Bearing Trees
Assorted fruit trees considered to produce lucrative
returns for the farmers as well as the industry are
being recommended

ADVANTAGES OF GIS-
GENERATED MAPS
ADVANTAGES
1. All data regarding the areas of NGP is consolidated into one shapefile thus reducing too
many files in the hard drive. Note that one shapefile consist of several extension files
(i.e. dbf,.prj,.shp, etc.)
CONSOLIDATED

SHAPEFILE BY CENRO
ADVANTAGES

2. Using the field component ,

the sites can be easily
represented by color
ADVANTAGES
3. A feature is simultaneously
selected in data view and
it’s shapefile attribute table
ADVANTAGES
4. Easy to export and overlay in Google Earth and other GIS software formats (i.e.
Manifold, AutoCad, Arcview..)
ADVANTAGES
5. Easy to summarize the consolidated file using its .dbf format and Pivot table
function in MS Office Excel
ADVANTAGES
6. Important information can be viewed simultaneously in the spatial (map) and
attribute data for identification.
ADVANTAGES
7. Easy to represent, manage and analyze in GIS through Symbology and other data
analysis function
