EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY ORGANIZING 2. Communities within PWRS area were not fully transformed into POs capable of managing the forest in a long term basis. About 47% of the total households were non-PO members. There were also forest protection activities which were not undertaken by the POs after termination of CSD contracts. As a result, forest fires were not prevented nor contained destroying at least 50 hectares of plantations established under CSD contracts. The communities within PWRS area were developed into four (4) POs organized to maintain the entire area. It was, however, disclosed in the Terminal Report that 979 households representing 47.11% of the total households within the PWRS were not PO members. This is contrary to CBFM principle of complete community participation. The profile of households in the CBFM area follows: CBFM Area Households 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 CEDAMCO PAGTUKAS OSA-TFA SAHA TOTAL Non-members 208 127 406 238 979 PO members 352 232 162 353 1,099 Despite this condition, the entire area was awarded to the four (4) POs including the areas occupied and being tilled by non-PO members. The presence of non-PO members in the area not only hinder the attainment of CBFM principle of community participation in forest management and biodiversity conservation but resulted in non-development of vast tracks of land under their claim. Ocular inspections conducted by the team within the CBFM area disclosed that the areas left open / idle and without any traces of improvement were mostly occupied by non-PO members. The team further observed that massive upland cultivation is being practiced by non-PO members in their occupied area. Open areas as reflected in the respective CRMF of the POs is equivalent to 3,981.29 hectares or 25.81% of the total CBFM area as presented in the next page: 44

No planned activities relative to open areas. Expansion of production forest by 300 hectares composed of 50 hectares abaca, 50 hectares coffee and 200 hectares banana plantations. Inquiry from PO officers disclosed that development of the open areas is hindered not only by lack of funds but also by legitimate rights of the claimants who are non-PO members. Under the CBFMA, the POs are also responsible to protect the entire forest lands within the CBFM area against illegal logging and other unauthorized extraction of forest products, slash and burn agriculture (kaingin), forest and grassland fires and other forms of forest destruction. This function is thus incorporated in the POs’ CRMF and Annual Work Plan (AWP). This is precisely the very reason why the POs were being organized during community organizing into a viable institution capable of managing the CBFM area on a long term basis. Records, however, revealed that apparently, the required protection and maintenance activities were also not undertaken. Interviews with POs 45
