1 COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTThe DOJ released two opinions that established the harmonization of the SEP and NIPAS laws andclarified the roles of the DENR and PCSD. DOJ Opinion No. 90, series of 1994, states that the“subject laws are statutes in pari materia”because while the NIPAS law is general and the SEP is special,“both laws address the issue of conservation, protection, management and sustainable developmentof natural resources of the country”. The DOJ further opined that the PCSD “is vested with the powerto enforce the provisions of the SEP law and other existing laws, rules and regulations similar toor complementary with the SEP law.” In Opinion No. 136, the DOJ stated that the PCSD and DENRwould jointly manage protected areas in Palawan—the PCSD assuming primary responsibility overpolicy-making and the DENR providing technical assistance.Guidance from the DOJ was complemented by a series of meetings and dialogues between topofficials of concerned agencies. Ultimately, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was entered intobetween the PCSD and DENR to systematize the process of policy implementation and management.Another MOA was prepared with respect to specific marine protected areas such as the TubbatahaReefs. Between the DA and the PCSD, a MOA has yet to be prepared.It is worth noting that an action for declaratory relief was filed by the former mayor of themunicipality of El Nido before Branch 50 of the Regional Trial Court of Palawan and Puerto Princesa.It sought to have the SEP law declared as the law of primary application in the said municipality.The court, while recognizing the complementarity of the goals of the SEP and NIPAS laws, decidedthat the SEP law is the “law of primary application in the Municipality of El Nido, Palawan in its stateas a protected area and that all other laws are, in so far as they are not inconsistent with SEP, merelysuppletory”(page 11, DECISION, Civil Case No. 3100). It must be noted, however, that the decisionwas appealed by the DENR.On the matter of coastal/marine law enforcement, a Memorandum of Agreement was also enteredinto in 2001 between the PCSD, DENR, DA-BFAR, all law enforcement agencies such as thePhilippine National Police-Maritime Group (PNP-MARIG), Philippine Coast Guard, NGOs andmultisectoral law enforcement bodies and task forces. In this agreement, each agency identified28SERVICE DELIVERY WITH IMPACT: RESOURCE BOOKS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
POLICY AND OPERATIONAL ISSUES THAT IMPACT ON EFFECTIVE COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 1its roles and responsibilities. Due to insufficient resources, however, multisectoral planning has notbeen undertaken.The present arrangement is that certain bodies such as PCSD, DENR, PCG, PNP-MARIG, DA-BFARand NGOs meet on specific coastal zone issues such as poaching, quarrying of sand and pebbles,illegal fishpond development, mangrove destruction, and marine mammal rescue activities.◗ COLLABORATIVE UNDERTAKINGS AMONG INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL, ANDLOCAL INSTITUTIONS TOWARD CRM AND CBCRMThe Coastal Resource Management and Sustainable Tourism in Ulugan Bay, a pilot project ofUNESCO, supported by UNDP, with the collaboration of the government of Puerto Princesa City,and implemented together with national scientific institutions and NGOs, is a good example of howpartnership between various institutions can lead to a comprehensive approach to the managementof a specific coastal area.UNESCO implemented the two-year project under the umbrella of its Environment and Developmentin Coastal Regions and Small Islands Programme (CSI) which is devoted to developing “wisepractices” that achieve culturally appropriate, socially balanced, and environmentally sounddevelopment in coastal regions and in small islands.This project is part of a strategic effort to save one of the most ecologically diverse, yet threatenedareas in the Philippines. Ulugan Bay accounts for 15 percent of the total mangroves in thePhilippines and 50 percent of the mangroves in the province of Palawan 53 .The Ulugan Bay project adopted a bottom-up approach in developing a working empirical modelfor community-based coastal resource management. The model is anchored on a collective effortof the local government unit, national scientific institutions, NGOs and local communities. Variouscore activities were identified with each partner institution getting involved in every activity.SERVICE DELIVERY WITH IMPACT: RESOURCE BOOKS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT29
