SOUND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES As defined in the Updated Appraisal Report for the project, the identified plantable mudflat areas is composed of 1,396.3 hectares located at the barangays of Cruz, Plaridel, Baguinbin and Cangcosme including areas surrounding the islands of Tabuk, Gumalac, and Cabgan, locally known as the Tres Marias Islets. Under Section 3 of DENR Administrative Order No. 96-29, the identification and selection of CBFM area should be jointly undertaken by the DENR and the concerned LGU in consultation with local communities. It should take into consideration the forestlands use plan to ensure that the CBFMP is consistent with the overall watershed conservation strategy and with the Municipality’s Land Use and Development Plan. The general procedures in selecting CBFMP areas follow: • Each CENRO and duly designated representatives of the concerned municipal government shall identify potential CBFMP areas with the aid of a <strong>Forest</strong>land Use Plan, latest available information and/or updated forest management map, and other baseline data. The CENRO and LGU representatives shall then validate the identified areas on the ground to determine their suitability. • The validated areas, endorsed by the concerned Legislative Councils of LGUs, shall then be indicated in a map of appropriate scale, which map, together with pertinent data and information, shall be forwarded through channels to the Regional Executive Director (RED) for approval. • The approved map and all other documents shall be furnished to the Director of the FMB, for data base management and monitoring purposes. • Upon approval of the CBFMP areas, the CENRO within fifteen days, shall inform in writing the concerned LGUs and together with the latter, shall conduct an information campaign to inform the public about the program. Copies of CBFMP guidelines and site map shall be posted in the municipality and barangays where the site is located. The CSD contract for this project was awarded to BAKHAW, Inc. on December 29, 2000 for a contract price of P20,216,000 covering the entire area of 1,396.3 hectares identified in the Updated Appraisal Report. The team was, however, not furnished with a copy of the map identifying the contracted areas to BAKHAW, Inc., despite repeated written and verbal request from concerned DENR personnel. The plantation establishment immediately started upon the issuance of the Notice to Proceed on February 22, 2001. 56
SOUND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES The team noted that apparently, the suitable areas for planting were not accurately identified by DENR and LGUs. This was manifested in the PO’s request for reduction of the CSD’s contracted area due to the following: • Establishment of boat ways 10-meters width, existing canals with varying width of 20-400 meters, and non-plantable area (water logged) in almost all parcels; • The plantable area at Brgy. Duljugan is only 63 hectares and not 300 hectares as projected, 70% of the entire mudflat is a coralline substrate. This is also true in the entire area of Barangay Cantuhaon with a projected area of 320. As described by the SUSIMO assigned in the project, coralline substrate areas are layers with coral formation one foot below the mud or sand mixed with mud. Mangroves thrive in these areas for only 1 to 3 years then die. • The people of Brgy. Cantuhaon rejected the development of the area as this is their fishing ground supporting their livelihood activities. • Included in the original project area of 1,396.3 hectares is about 222 hectares at Tabuk Islet. Tabuk Island was declared as Marine Park, Fish and Bird Sanctuary under Municipal Ordinance No. 228-021095 dated October 2, 1995, and development projects such as mangrove reforestation is not allowed within the area. The approximate area in Tabuk Islet was verbally provided by the SUSIMO presently assigned in the project area as the DENR failed to furnish the team with the maps depicting the 1,396.30 hectares originally projected and contracted to BAKHAW, Inc. In view of the PO’s requests and upon recommendation of the SUSIMO, CENRO and PENRO, a revised Work and Financial Plan was approved by the Acting RED reducing the total plantable area to only 850 hectares for a total contract cost of P13,811,619.60. After accomplishing the 850 hectares, a Revised Work and Financial Plan (RWFP) was prepared to meet the original target of 1,396.3 hectares. The team noted that the RWFP was approved without any justification and assessment report on the newly identified area of 546.30 hectares. The RWFP was prepared by the PO President with the assistance of EDCAI (the Assisting Organization) President and endorsed by the SUSIMO to the RED thru the CENRO and PENRO on July 8, 2002. Interviews with the PO officials revealed that the total area of 546.30 hectares was identified by SUSIMO-DENR as replacement/expansion for the shortage in plantable area within the original projected project area. The Regional Office (RO) claimed that the RWFP was a result of 57
