DILG Annual Report CY 2015 - LML final

Helped forward the agenda that bring peace
and development to conflict-affected areas
The Department
also played a key role in
the implementation of
the Payapa at
Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) Program by
providing subsidy to 253 cities and municipalities
(127 out of 253 LGUs are repeating LGU
beneficiaries, therefore a total of 380 cities and
municipalities for the 4-year period from CY 2012
to CY 2015) for infrastructure projects such as
roads, water, bridges, public market, etc.
identified through the Conflict-Analysis and
Planning Process (CAPP) to alleviate the plight of
conflict-affected communities and drive-in the
peace-building efforts within the community.
Since we started the project in CY 2012, we have
identified and implemented 677 sub-projects
(with 26 projects cancelled) mainly meant to
boost local access and roads development, and
livelihood opportunities, 422 of which were
already completed while the remaining 229 are
in various stages of implementation and/or
complying with administrative requirements.
IMPROVED SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
With the completion of the Php10M 3-km. PAMANA Road Project: Rehabilitation of NRJ San Juan-
New Tubigon Road in Agusan del Sur, dramatic changes in the lives of the residents were experienced.
Mr. Ernesto Bayo, a resident of Barangay San Juan explained, “In the 20 years of residing in our barangay,
only this time I experienced the comfort of a good road.” He recalls the time before the PAMANA Project
when only motorcycles can access the road and the expensive transportation of their agricultural
products. “Government services were also made accessible because of the road project and transportation
during medical emergencies were made easy,” he added. Travel time was also reduced to almost an hour
from Bayugan City to the heart of Barangay San Juan in the Municipality of Sibagat and 4-wheel vehicles
can now access using the PAMANA rehabilitated road.
