SOUND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES<br />

• A mining permit for the extraction of manganese within the DWSP area<br />

was issued on December 9, 2004 by the Provincial Government of Nueva<br />

Vizcaya to a PO other than the one awarded the CBFMA. As provided in<br />

the CBFMA, the holder has the right to be given priority in obtaining<br />

privilege to extract and dispose any mineral resources found within the<br />

CBFMA area, subject to existing laws, rules and regulations.<br />

The Provincial Government, under RA 7076, is vested with the right to<br />

grant small-scale mining permit. The mining permit was granted without<br />

Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) required to be secured and<br />

presented by the applicant. The ECC was eventually issued by the<br />

Environmental <strong>Management</strong> Bureau (EMB), Regional Office No. 2 to<br />

KMAI on December 22, 2004.<br />

Apparently, the Provincial Government of Nueva Vizcaya and the<br />

officials of the Municipalities of Bagabag and Quezon were not properly<br />

informed by PENRO of the existing CBFMA. Thus, the Provincial<br />

Government of Nueva Vizcaya issued mining permit to a PO other than<br />

the CBFMA holder.<br />

Pursuant to DENR Administrative Order No. 99-29 dated July 23, 1999,<br />

the DENR should provide the concerned LGUs and other government<br />

agencies copies of the CBFMA, CRMF, AWPs and RUPs for their<br />

reference in assisting the DENR and concerned PO in the implementation<br />

of the CBFM <strong>Program</strong>.<br />

Likewise, the EMB was not properly informed and was not among those<br />

required to be informed or be furnished with CBFMA and other related<br />

documents.<br />

The issuance of the mining permit to another PO resulted in conflict<br />

between the two POs and loss of trust by the beneficiaries on the project.<br />

• The DENR’s lack of coordination with LGUs was also manifested in the<br />

absence of maintenance in two (2) infrastructure projects turned-over to<br />

LGUs.<br />

At the PMRSP, inspection conducted by the team on February 9, 2006,<br />

revealed that of the three projects turned over to the LGUs, one was not<br />

properly maintained resulting in roadway scouring as depicted in the<br />

pictures shown below.<br />

• Not properly maintained,<br />

specifically, the portion near<br />

Cangcosme<br />

San Pedro-Cangcosme (lower portion)<br />
