SOUND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES <strong>Management</strong>’s Comments For the upland people, land is life and therefore seldom they compromise if we tend to deprive them of their traditional land use. The win-win solution therefore, is for them to plant permanent crops with economic value for survival. In this case, we still have permanent forest and at the same time addressed their survival. The increase in soil erosion should not be interpreted as a negative impact and a long term scenario. This condition will usually occur in the site development stage where soil tillage is inevitable, but the moment permanent crops get establish on the ground and effectively sustained local economic activities, slope stabilization is a long term scenario. Unless we will be more sensitive to their culture and survival, then there will be less fire occurrences in our natural forest. Kaingin farming is considered as one of the practices promoting soil erosion, but it is widely practiced in the CBFMA (PWRS) area. Traditional farming system is regarded worldwide as sustainable farming system due to their unique way of preserving their fertile soil. Research showed that one of these practices is the so called FALLOW method. This is method allows planting area to rest for five (5) years or more and thereafter cleared again. In the case of the OSA CBFMA where soil are fertile, most of the fast growing native species already attain the height and diameter which when cut for the follow period can already be construed as kaingin. While we do not advocate this practice of cutting miscellaneous trees, but there is a difficulty in transforming their practices overnight. This can be Team’s Rejoinder The kaingin noted by the team could not be that of Fallow Method as the trees cut off were the newly established plantation under the CSD contract and not the fast growing native species that have attained the required height and diameter. 74
SOUND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES <strong>Management</strong>’s Comments equated as transforming Islam to Christian. During the audit period, what is seemingly evident is the clearing for Fallow of approximately three hectares area which is equivalent to 0.17 percent of the total CBFMA area of OSA. Kaingin making as widely practice in the CBFMA areas as mention in the audit observation may no longer be appropriate at this point in time. This is so considering that the natural residual forest lift is only 4.4 percent of the total area, and these are already located within more than 50 percent slope. Farming in these areas is already in misery. What is widely practiced however is the Fallow method. Team’s Rejoinder Momentarily, non-participation by some members of the community may still be an issue but these are temporary in nature. 3. Inadequate coordination with other government agencies resulted in the granting of mining permit within the CBFM area to another PO and improper maintenance of infrastructure projects turnedover to LGUs. In order to establish institutional linkages, the DENR shall work with local governments, other government agencies, people’s organizations, nongovernment organizations, tribal councils, and other concerned organizations to ensure that communities are empowered to initiate and achieve the objectives of CBFMP. The DENR shall promote and support the active participation of the agencies and organizations and shall assist them in enhancing their capacities to actively participate in and support the program. The team, however, noted that apparently, DENR failed to establish proper institutional linkages as discussed in the next page: 75
