 CHAPTER 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Pasig-Marikina-San Juan River System, of which total catchment area is 635 km2, runs
through the center of Metro Manila and flows out to the Manila Bay. Its main tributaries, the
San Juan River and Napindan River, join the main stream at about 7.1 km and 17.1 km
upstream from the Pasig River mouth, respectively. The three largest waterways contribute
largely to the flooding in the metropolis brought about by the riverbank overflow of
floodwaters. Metro Manila, which encompasses 16 cities and 1 municipality having a total
projected population of over 11 million in 2010, is the economical, political and cultural
center of the Philippines.

However, even though the completion of Manggahan Floodway, flood damages along the
Pasig-Marikina River have been frequently experienced for the last 25 years between 1986
and 2010; 1986, 1988, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2009. Especially, Tropical
Storm 'Ondoy' brought a heavy rain and caused devastating flood disasters in Metro Manila,
its surrounding area and Laguna Lake area on September 26, 2009. The heavy rainfall of 453
mm/day observed at Science Garden in Quezon City brought a huge volume of flood
discharge along the Pasig-Marikina River, resulting in the death/missing of about 500 people
and causing massive damages.

To cope with such flooding problems in Metro Manila, the necessity of river channel
improvement of Pasig-Marikina River has been further studied. The Department of Public
Works and Highways (DPWH) conducted an updated Master Plan (M/P) for flood control
and drainage improvement in Metro Manila and a Feasibility Study (F/S) on the channel
improvement of the Pasig-Marikina River System from January 1988 to March 1990 with
technical assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), called "The
Study on Flood Control and Drainage Project in Metro Manila"

Based on the updating/review of the F/S for the river channel improvement project through
Special Assistance for Project Formation (SAPROF) of JICA under the financial assistance
of Japanese Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) in 1998, the "Pasig-Marikina River
Channel Improvement Project (PMRCIP)” was proposed for implementation in the
following four (4) phases:

(1) Phase I : Detailed Design for the Overall Project from Delpan Bridge to
Marikina Bridge; 29.7 km

(2) Phase II : Channel Improvement Works for Pasig River (Delpan Bridge to
Napindan River); 6.4 km

(3) Phase III : Channel Improvement Works for Lower Marikina River including
Construction of Marikina Control Gate Structure (MCGS)
(Junction with Napindan River to Mangahan Floodway); 7.2 km

(4) Phase IV: Channel Improvement Works for Upper Marikina River
(Mangahan Floodway to Marikina Bridge); 6.1 km

The Detailed Design (D/D) for the whole PMRCIP was conducted in October 2000 and
completed in March 2002 under the JBIC (now JICA) 23rd Yen Loan Package. Thus, the
PMRCIP (Phase II) has been requested for financing under the 26 th JICA Yen Loan

1
Package (STEP: Special Term Economic Partnership), eventually commenced its
construction/civil works in July 2009 which is scheduled for completion in June 2012

Since Tropical Storm “Ondoy” occurred in September 2009 caused tremendous damages in
Metro Manila, it is urgently needed to complete the whole scheme of the PMRCIP to protect
the Metro Manila areas against further flood disaster.

Following the ongoing PMRCIP (Phase II), implementation of the PMRCIP (Phase III) has
subsequently being proposed which will cover channel improvement along the Lower
Marikina River with a total stretched of 5.4 km from the confluence point with Napindan
Channel to Diversion Point of Mangahan Floodway, excluding however the construction of
MCGS. Also, inclusion of heavily deteriorated bank sections in the Pasig River caused by
the recent floods including Tropical Storm 'Ondoy' is proposed to be considered/included in
the said Phase III Project. These are sections not covered under the on-going Phase (II)
Project. The project coverage area for the PMRCIP (Phase III) is located in the cities of
Manila, Mandaluyong, Makati and Pasig in Metro Manila.

The major scope of the proposed PMRCIP (Phase III) is summarized below:

1. Construction of revetment with reinforced concrete river wall supported by

the steel sheet piles along the Pasig River (total length = approximately
9.90 km on both banks: revetment with river wall = 7.50 km, river wall
only = 2.40 km)

2. Dredging of Lower Marikina River (total length = 5.40 km; total volume =
approximately 612,000 m3)

3. Construction of dike/revetment, river wall and boundary banks along

Lower Marikina River (dike/revetment = 1.70 km, river wall = 0.34 km,
boundary bank = 7.06 km)

 CHAPTER 2 POTENTIAL IMPACTS BY THE PROJECT

2.1 Identification of the Project Components that Give Rise to Resettlement and their
Zone of Impact

The resettlements of the Project Affected Families (PAFs) and compensation for
improvements are mainly caused by the implementation of the proposed PMRCIP (Phase
III).

The proposed structures under the Project are to be constructed within the right-of-way
limits (easement) of the river. Hence, the existing structures/improvements, cultivated lands
situated within the riverbanks will be affected by the construction works.

At some sections, construction of revetment with steel sheet pile foundation will affect the
existing houses situated on the said river easement area.

On the other hand, construction of the proposed dikes will temporarily affect the existing
promenades (river parks), since, said dikes will be constructed thereat. However, during
construction, temporary access road will be provided, in addition to the existing road at the
city-side of the houses, so no loss of accessibility to residences is expected.

There is also no public infrastructure and social service facility identified to be affected by
the Project.

In addition, there is no acquisition of private land is necessary for the project, since,
construction of the entire scope of the project is covered by the river area, thus, considered as
a public domain, only temporary used of private lands for the contractors’ yards will be
needed during construction..

2.2 Identification of the Alternative Measures Considered to Avoid or Minimize the

Resettlement Impact

The Pasig-Marikina River flows in the center of Metro Manila which is the capital of the
country. Both banks of the river are within the urban area, occupied with residential houses,
factories, offices, roads, etc.

To increase the flow capacity of the river channel for flood control, alternative measures
such as river channel widening and deepening, heightening of river wall as well as short-cut
of channel have been studied as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below:
Therefore, among the above-mentioned alternative measures, (b) deepening of existing river
channel (dredging) and (c) construction of higher river walls within the river channel were
selected to be applied for the project in order to avoid or minimize the social problems on
land acquisition and resettlement.

In addition, the construction methodology to be applied for the project will be a river based
operation wherein construction materials, machines, and equipment will be brought in and
out to the project site through river transportation, thus, most of the construction works will
be undertaken using equipment on barge. With this operational plan, temporary
resettlements are avoided during construction works.

CHAPTER 3 OBJECTIVES OF THE RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN

The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the PMRCIP (Phase III) was formulated to ensure a just
compensation and peaceful relocation procedure prior to the commencement of the project in
accordance with the appropriate and applicable laws, policies and/or guidelines of the country as
well as taking into consideration the policies/guidelines of the International Financing Institution
particularly the World Bank and JICA’s Resettlement Guidelines/Policies for Social
Considerations, and other related institutions.

The objectives of this RAP are as follows:

• Provide project impact assessment to the Project Affected Families (PAFs);

• Quantify the private and public properties which shall not be taken for public use
without just compensation;
• Present a strategic scheme/plan to ensure proper resettlement of the PAFs in a timely
manner;
• Recognize and consider the involvement of the PAFs in the implementation of the
RAP;
• Provide necessary resources that may be needed, particularly the funds needed for the
social component of the project which include among other cost for the resettlement of
the PAFs;
• Provide livelihood/income restoration.

 CHAPTER 4 SOCIO ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND
RESTTLEMENT IMPACTS

4.1 Population Census

In total, there are 58 households and population of 204 of Informal Settler Families (ISFs)
are expected to be affected by the implementation of the project and required to be
resettled, 1 2(Table 4).

Besides those residents, there are 16 Absentee Structure Owners (ASO). Detailed
information of said ASO will be gathered during the community participation process
which will be conducted prior to the commencement of resettlement activities.

The Cut-Off date of the RAP for this Project is November 2010. However, in case there is
no resettlement activities conducted after two years from the said cut-off date, the census
data shall be updated which is in November 2012 in accordance with the World Bank
Operational Policy (OP) 4.12.

The project scopes and its impacts will be reviewed during the Detailed Design which is
scheduled to be started in 2012, thus, validation of census/tagging survey will be
conducted.

4.2 Land and Asset Survey

There is no permanent acquisition of private lands necessary for the implementation of the
Project.

Only temporary use of two (2) private lands for temporary storage of material, etc. will be
needed during implementation of the project.

All affected structures, improvements, crops and trees are required to be removed.

It is recognized that Pasig City has an on-going relocation program for the informal settlers living on the
danger areas based on RA 7279, and this program covers the informal settlers living on the easement area along
the Lower Marikina River. Such informal settlers are not covered by this RAP as they will not be affected by
the construction works of the Project.

4.3 Socio-Economic Survey of the Identified Project Affected Families

Following are the findings about the profile of the PAFs. The survey was conducted in
November 2010.

The sharers are counted as separate households from the structure owner families living in
the same house.

4.3.1 Demography of PAFs Residing in the Project Affected Areas

In total, 58 households (204 people) along the Pasig River are to be resettled caused by the
channel improvement works along the Pasig River. They are counted in 5 Barangays in
Manila and Makati Cities. For the channel improvement works along the Lower Marikina
River, no households are found to be affected.

During census surveyed, all the PAFs have found no legal title to the land they are
occupying, thus, considered as Informal Settlers Families (ISFs).

garbage collected through the LGU’s truck at their door-front. The rest 40 % disposed
their garbage onto open ground or river

Toilet Facility

About 60 % of the households along Pasig and Marikina River have own toilet facilities
wherein about 20 % of them uses shared toilet. The remaining 40 % of the households
does not have toilet, thus, released their wastes directly to river or open land.

4.3.4 Formal and Informal Institution in the Affected Communities

PAFs are members of Peoples Organizations (PO’s) and Home Owner’s Associations in
the Barangays. Each Barangay is headed by a Barangay Captain who is elected by his/her
constituents and has its own governing policies system, as well as committees that plan
and operate various cultural activities.

One of the responsibilities of the Barangay Captain is to assist the resettlement of

Informal Settlers (IS), and keeping its community against further influx of the IS. Hence,
the Barangay Captain and his/her council play an important role in the resettlement of the
PAFs through their regular communication/consultation and assistance.

In this project, resettlement activities shall be coordinated to each Barangays so that the
PAFs living in short distances can easily communicate together about their resettlement.

20
 and once they are already relocated in the same location, the social relationship among
the PAFs may be preserved.

The Barangay Officials are also responsible for monitoring/controlling the cleared
easement area from the influx of Informal Settlers being a self governing body.

4.3.5 Awareness of the Project and Preference on Possible Relocation Site

About two thirds of the surveyed households are aware about the PMRCIP of the
DPWH.

them to improve, or at least maintain, their pre-project living standards and income
generating capacity.

5.1 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines

The following provisions in the 1987 Philippine Constitution will serve as the basic legal
foundation of resettlement policies.

beneficiaries shall be conducted with the assistance of the Presidential Commission for
the Urban Poor and the concerned Non-government Organization (NGOs).

5.4 RA 8974. An Act to Facilitate the Acquisition of Right-Of-Way (ROW), Site or

Location for National Government Infrastructure Projects and for other Purposes
(November 2000)

The above acts provide bases for land valuation for the acquisition of ROW Site or
Location for National Government Projects through negotiated sale, expropriation and
other mode of acquisition.

The law also states that valuation of the improvements and structures on the land to be
acquired shall be based on the replacement cost which is defined as the amount necessary to
replace the structure or improvement based on the current market prices for materials,
equipment, labor, contractor's profit and overhead, and all other attendant costs associated
with the acquisition and installation in place of the affected improvements/installation.

5.4.1 Improvement and Structures

Section 1 states that private property shall not be taken for public use without just
compensation. Towards this end, the State shall ensure that owners of real property
acquired for national government infrastructure project are promptly paid just
compensation.

Section 2 states that the term “national government project” shall referred to all national
infrastructure, engineering works and service contracts, including projects undertaken by
government thus owned and controlled corporation, all projects covered by R.A. no.
6957, as amended by R.A. no. 7718, otherwise known as the Build-Operate-and-Transfer
Law, and other related and necessary activities, such as site acquisition, supply and/or
installation of equipment and materials, implementation, construction, completion,
operation, maintenance, improvement, repair, and rehabilitation, regardless of the source
of funding.

Section 3 states that the government may acquire real property needed as right–of-way,
site or relocation for any national government infrastructure project through donation,
negotiated sales, expropriation or any other mode of acquisition as provided by law.

Section 5. Standard for the Assessment of the Value of Land Subject of Expropriation
Proceedings or Negotiated Sale – In order to facilitate the determination of just
compensation, the court may consider, among other well-established factors, the
following relevant standards:

(a) The classification and use for which the property is suited;

(b) The development costs for improving the land;

(c ) The value declared by the owners;

(d) The current selling price of similar lands in the vicinity;

(e) The reasonable disturbance compensation for the removal and/or demolition of
certain improvements on the land and for the value for improvements thereon;

(f) The size, shape and location, tax declaration and zonal valuation of the land by
Bureau of Internal Revenue;

24
 (g) The price of the land as manifested in the ocular findings, oral as well as documentary
evidence presented; and

(h) Such facts and events as to enable the affected property owners to have sufficient
funds to acquire similarly-situated lands of approximate areas as those required from
them by the government, and thereby rehabilitate themselves as early as possible.

On the other hand, the Standard Bases to determine the assessment value of the affected
structures of the PAFs that are considered as ISF are as follows:

(a) Classification of the type of the structure

(b) Size (area) of the affected structure

(c ) Prevailing cost of type of materials used on the affected structure

5.5 Land Acquisition, Resettlement, Rehabilitation and Indigenous People’s Policy

(LARRIPP) (2007) : DPWH Policy and Guideline on Resettlement

Policy and guidelines of DPWH on resettlement are expressed in the Infrastructure Right of
Way Procedural Manual (April, 2003) and the Land Acquisition, Resettlement,
Rehabilitation and Indigenous People’s Policy (LARRIPP) (3rd edition in April, 2007).

Criteria for Eligibility for Compensation described in LARRIPP are as follows.

1. Landowners
a. Legal owners (agricultural, residential, commercial and institutional) who have
full title, tax declaration, or who are covered by customary law (e.g. possessory
rights, usufruct, etc.) or other acceptable proof of ownership.
b. Users of arable land who have no land title or tax declaration
c. Agricultural lessees

2. PAFs with Structures

a. Owners of structures who have full title, tax declaration, or who are covered by
customary law (e.g. possessory rights, usufruct, etc.) or other acceptable proof of
ownership.
b. Owners of structures, including shanty dwellers, who have no land title or tax
declaration or other acceptable proof of ownership.
c. Renters

3. Indicators of Severity of Impacts

Properties to be acquired for the project may include the entire area or a portion of it.
Hence, compensation for such assets or properties depends on whether the entire
property will be affected or just a portion of it.

a. Severe – The portion of the property to be affected is more than 20% of the total
land area or even less than 20% if the remaining portion is no longer
economically viable or it will no longer function as intended. The owner of this
property (land or structures, etc.) shall be entitled to full compensation in
accordance to RA 8974.
b. Marginal – the impact is only partial and the remaining portion of the property or
asset is still viable for continued use. Compensation will be on the affected
portion only.

25

other Improvements and Crops, Trees and Perennials. Described below are the
compensation and entitlements provisions for which the PAFs are eligible, per
classification of assets affected.

a. Compensation for Structures

i. Compensation in cash for the affected portion of the structure, including
the cost of restoring the remaining structure, as determined by the

will be provided free transportation

5.6 LARRIPP (2007) : DPWH Policy on Public Participation and Consultation

The information campaign will convey to all PAPs as follows:

1. The road project that has triggered the Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard Policy.
Why is it important? Who would benefit from it? What are it benefits to the affected
families;

2. Each PAP is entitled to receive just compensation for his/her affected lot at a rate to be
negotiated between the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) zonal valuation and the fair
market value as provided by RA 8974;

3. The BIR zonal valuation and the fair market value may be substantially different;

4. The negotiations process detailed in RA 8974 provides that:

a. DPWH first asks the PAPs to donate their affected land, provided that the following
conditions shall be met:
i. The AP's have decided to donate their land based on informed consent, that is:
prior to the decision, they have been (a) informed of their compensation
entitlements at market rates; (b) actually offered the relative compensation
amounts;
ii. Land redistribution or donations do not affect the donor's livelihood;
iii. Land to be donated is titled, un-rented, has no encumbrances nor is occupied by
informal settlers;
iv. The voluntary aspect of land redistribution or donations is documented by a
document signed by the donor that he/she is aware of the above conditions. The
inclusion of the document in the RAP will be the basis for its approval. In
addition, based on BIR rules, arrear taxes for donated plots need to be paid or
waived. If waiver is not possible, the taxes will have to be paid by the LGU.
b. If they do not agree, DPWH will offer them compensation at the BIR zonal
valuation rates;

c. If also in this case they do not agree, the DPWH will promptly seek the services of
Land Bank, Development Bank of the Philippines or an independent appraiser to
determine the fair market value based on the following parameters:
i. land use classification
ii. development costs for improving the land
iii. value declared by PAPs
iv. current selling price of similar properties in the vicinity, based on deeds of sale
v. disturbance
vi. tax declaration and BIR zonal valuation

27
 vii. replacement cost.
d. DPWH will go back to the PAPs and communicate to them the current market
value so determined by an independent land appraiser to specify the negotiation
limits (BIR zonal value and current market value);

e. DPWH then begins negotiations with the PAPs to determine the final
compensation;

f. If the PAPs do not accept the terms of this negotiation and the land valuation
possible under RA 8974, their affected properties will be expropriated;

g. DPWH shall immediately pay the PAP whose property is under expropriation
the amount equivalent to the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of the BIR
zonal valuation and the court shall determine the just compensation to be paid to
the PAP within sixty (60) days from the date of filing of the expropriation case.
When the decision of the court becomes final and executory, DPWH shall pay
the PAP the difference between the amounts already paid and the just
compensation as determined by the court. In the interim, DPWH will deposit
100% of the BIR valuation into an escrow account.

The information campaign will also convey to the PAPs the available channels for
complaints and grievances and related procedures.

The information campaign will be carried out by the PMO with the assistance of ESSO, the
Regional Offices and District Engineering Offices and will be implemented through
community meetings and leaflets according to the following specifications:

1. Community Meetings : Community meetings to be organized in sufficient number and

at the appropriate location and time so as to allow the potential participation of all PAPs
or their authorized representatives. In the course of the meetings DPWH personnel will
explain the reasons for the meeting and will provide the information detailed above.
PAPs will be free to ask for clarification and to propose procedures that may facilitate
the implementation of the compensation program. When necessary DPWH will
provide the PAPs with transportation to reach the meeting venue. At each meeting the
numbers and names of the participants will be recorded and minutes of the discussions
will be taken by DPWH.

2. Leaflets : A leaflet, printed in the language understandable to the PAPs, providing a

statement of purpose, project details and clearly indicating the information listed above
to be distributed by the District Engineering Offices to each PAP. Additional copies of
the leaflet will be distributed during the community meetings. It will also be posted in
enlarged poster form in strategic locations like the municipal, city and barangay halls.

The women, elderly who are among the PAPs shall likewise be consulted and mobilized to
participate in the consultation meeting, and discussed with them the socio-cultural
implication of the Resettlement Action Plan.

To ensure that the DPWH District Engineering Offices (DEOs) fully understand the
purposes and mechanisms of the information campaign, workshops on the matter shall be
organized and conducted at the DPWH Central Office in Manila or in the DPWH Regional
Offices as maybe necessary. Representatives of DEOs affected by the project component
shall be the main participants in these workshops.

28
 Internal monitoring will be done by ESSO which at the same time shall be called the Internal
Monitoring Agent (IMA) while external monitoring will be carried out by an External
Monitoring Agent (EMA) to be hired by DPWH. Reports of the IMA and EMA will be
made available to the Regional Offices (ROs) and/or the DEOs and to all concerned parties,
including the PAPs.

5.9 JICA Policies on Involuntary Resettlement

The key principle of JICA policies on involuntary resettlement is summarized below:

1. Involuntary resettlement and loss of means of livelihood are to be avoided when

feasible by exploring all viable alternatives.
2. When population displacement is unavoidable, effective measures to minimize the
impact and to compensate for losses should be taken.
3. People who must be resettled involuntarily and people whose means of livelihood
will be hindered or lost must be sufficiently compensated and supported, so that they
can improve or at least restore their standard of living, income opportunities and
production levels to pre-project levels.
4. Compensation must be based on the full replacement cost 1 as much as possible.
5. Compensation and other kinds of assistance must be provided prior to displacement.
6. For projects that entail large-scale involuntary resettlement, resettlement action plans
must be prepared and made available to the public. It is desirable that the resettlement
action plan include elements laid out in the World Bank Safeguard Policy, OP 4.12,
Annex A.
7. In preparing a resettlement action plan, consultations must be held with the affected
people and their communities based on sufficient information made available to them
in advance. When consultations are held, explanations must be given in a form,
manner, and language that are understandable to the affected people.
8. Appropriate participation of affected people must be promoted in planning,
implementation, and monitoring of resettlement action plans.
9. Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms must be established for the
affected people and their communities.

Description of “replacement cost” is as follows.

Structures site, plus the cost of any labor and contractors’ fees, plus the cost of any registration

30
 The above principle is complemented by the World Bank OP 4.12, since it is stated in JICA
Guideline that “JICA confirms that projects do not deviate significantly from the World
Bank’s Safeguard Policies”. Additional key principle based on World Bank OP 4.12 is as
follows.

10. Affected people are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in order to
establish their eligibility through an initial baseline survey (including population
census that serves as an eligibility cut-off date, asset inventory, and socioeconomic
survey), preferably at the project identification stage, to prevent a subsequent influx of
encroachers of others who wish to take advance of such benefits.

11. Eligibility of Benefits include, the PAPs who have formal legal rights to land
(including customary and traditional land rights recognized under law), the PAPs who
don't have formal legal rights to land at the time of census but have a claim to such land
or assets and the PAPs who have no recognizable legal right to the land they are
occupying.

12. Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons
whose livelihoods are land-based.

13. Provide support for the transition period (between displacement and livelihood
restoration.

14. Particular attention must be paid to the needs of the vulnerable groups among those
displaced, especially those below the poverty line, landless, elderly, women and
children, ethnic minorities etc.

15. For projects that entail land acquisition or involuntary resettlement of fewer than 200
people, abbreviated resettlement plan is to be prepared.

In addition to the above core principles on the JICA policy, it also laid emphasis on a
detailed resettlement policy inclusive of all the above points; project specific resettlement
plan; institutional framework for implementation; monitoring and evaluation mechanism;
time schedule for implementation; and, detailed Financial Plan etc (JICA Guidelines for
Environmental and Social Considerations (Appendix 1. Environmental and Social
Considerations Required for Intended Projects).

5.10 Gaps between Philippines’ Legal Framework and JICA Guidelines

The existing LARRIPP (2007) of DPWH was prepared based on the World Bank
Resettlement Policy.

As shown in Table 28 below, it is found that there is no significant difference between the
DPWH and JICA’s Legal and Program Frameworks.

However, there are several gaps in the qualification of eligibility of persons, as well as
composition of losses covered by compensation.

Hence, appropriate approaches were designed/formulated to complement the gaps between

the Philippine legal framework resettlement and JICA’s Policy on Involuntary
Resettlement that conforms to the Government and JICA policies and/or practices, to come
up with a Project Policy for this RAP.

 CHAPTER 6 POLICY ON ELIGIBILITY, COMPENSATION AND
OTHER ENTITLEMENTS

6.1 Basic Policy

1. The Government of the Philippines (GOP) will adopt the Project Resettlement Policy
(the Project Policy) for the PMRCIP Phase III, since, the existing national laws and
regulations have gaps with the JICA’s policies and guidelines for involuntary
resettlement.

The Project Policy aims to fill-in any gaps to enhance the resettlement program for the
PAFs/PAPs taking into consideration the JICA policies/guidelines which will be
helpful for them to at least rehabilitate/restore their social/economic condition the
earliest possible time.

This section discusses the principles of the Project Policy and the entitlements of the
PAPs based on the type and degree of their losses.

As mentioned earlier, gaps between the Philippine legal framework for resettlement
and JICA’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement will be filled in by appropriate
approaches designed which conforms to the Government and JICA’s Policies, as
follows.

2. Identify project design alternatives, if possible, to avoid and/or minimize the adverse
social impact of the project such as land acquisition and/or involuntary resettlement.

3. When displacement of households is unavoidable, all losses of the PAPs (including

communities) such as assets, livelihoods or resources shall be fully compensated as
well as providing assistance to improve or at least restore their economic and social
conditions.

4. Compensation and rehabilitation support will be provided to any PAPs, that is, any
person or household or business which on account of project implementation would
have his, her or their:

• Standard of living adversely affected;

• Right, title or interest in any kind of structures, improvements, crops and trees, or
any other fixed or moveable assets, acquired or possessed, temporarily or
permanently affected;

• Income earning opportunities, business, occupation, work or place of residence or

habitat adversely affected; or

may be identified during the process of resettlement planning.

5. All affected people shall be eligible for compensation and rehabilitation assistance,
regardless of tenure of status, social or economic standing.

The PAPs shall no be hindered from compensation entitlements and rehabilitation

measures due to lack of legal rights to the losses of assets, affected tenure of status and
social or economic status.

36
 All PAPs residing, working, doing business and/or cultivating land identified to be
affected by the project as of the date of the latest census and Inventory of Lost Assets
(ILA) shall be entitled for compensation of their losses of assets at replacement cost. If
possible, restoration of incomes and businesses shall also be provided with sufficient
rehabilitation measures to assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project
living standards, income-earning capacity and production levels.

6. For those affected portion of physical structures of the PAPs, they shall not be left out
without any just and humane compensation.

7. People who will be temporarily affected by the project shall also be considered as PAPs
with resettlement measures and/or plans.

8. The community to be affected by the development of a resettlement site shall be

involved in the resettlement planning and decision-making to minimize the adverse
impacts of the resettlement to the said community.

9. The design of the resettlement plans shall be in accordance with the Land Acquisition,
Resettlement, Rehabilitation and Indigenous Peoples’ Policy (LARRIPP) of DPWH
(April, 2004) and JICA’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement.

10. Resettlement Action Plan translated in local languages shall be made available through
brochures/leaflets, etc. for ready reference by the PAPs and other concerned groups
and same shall be disclosed to the said PAPs.

11. Payment for land and/or non-land assets will be based on the principle of replacement
cost.

12. Compensation for PAPs dependent on agricultural activities will be land-based

whenever possible. In this Project, it is found that there is no PAPs dependent on
agricultural activities.

13. Resettlement assistance will be provided not only for immediate loss, but also for the
transition period needed to restore livelihood and standards of living of the PAPs. Such
support could be taken in the form of short-term jobs, subsistence support, salary
maintenance, or similar arrangements.

14. The resettlement plan should pay particular attention to the needs of the vulnerable
group affected and/or displaced especially those affected by the adverse impact of the
resettlement (including the poor, those without legal title to land, ethnic minorities,
women, children, elderly and disabled) and ensure that they are considered in
resettlement planning and mitigation measures identified. Assistance should be
provided to help them improve their socio-economic status.

15. The PAPs shall be involved in the preparation and implementation of the resettlement
action plans.

16. The Project as well as the resettlement action plans for the PAFs including its
mitigation measures on the adverse effects, their rights and available resettlement
options shall be properly informed and discussed to the PAPs and their respective
communities and to the extent possible be involved in the decisions concerning their
resettlement.

37
 17. Adequate budgetary support will be fully committed and made available to cover the
costs of land acquisition (including compensation and income restoration measures)
within the agreed implementation period.

18. Displacement shall not be done prior to compensation and provision of other necessary
assistance for relocation.

Sufficient civic infrastructure shall be provided in the resettlement site prior to

relocation.

Resettlement process and activities such as acquisition of assets, compensation and/or

introduction of livelihood rehabilitation activities shall be completed prior to
undertaking any kind of construction works/activities, except when a court of law
orders so, in the cases of expropriation.

Livelihood restoration measures shall at least be established prior to construction

activities.

19. Organization and administrative arrangements for the effective preparation and
implementation of the resettlement action plan shall be identified and established/set up
prior to the commencement of the resettlement process; these shall include provision of
adequate human resources for supervision, consultation, and monitoring of land
acquisition and rehabilitation activities.

20. Appropriate reporting (including auditing and redress functions), monitoring and
evaluation mechanisms, shall be identified and set in place as part of the resettlement
management system.

An external monitoring group shall be hired for the project to evaluate the resettlement
process and results. Such groups may include qualified consultants, NGOs, research
institutions or universities.

6.2 Cut-Off Date of Eligibility

The cut-off-date of eligibility is set prior to the implementation of the Project and that is
during the preparation/planning stage wherein the residents/users of the areas required by
the Project are eligible to be categorized as the PAPs, thus, may be eligible to the
resettlement entitlements under the Project..

Based on the DPWH LARRIP and IROW Procedural Manual, the Cut-Off Date refers to the
starting date of the Census Work.

Table 29, shows the starting date of the census survey conducted for each Barangay.

Table 29 Cut-Off Date of Eligibility

38
 The dates indicated above have been disclosed to each affected Barangay by the concerned
LGU and accordingly same have been disclosed by the respective Barangays to their
constituents. The establishment of the eligibility cut-off date aimed to prevent the influx of
ineligible non-residents who might take advantage of the resettlement entitlements under the
Project.

Those listed below are not eligible for compensation:

1) Those that sold or bought the structures of PAFs after the cut-off date
2) Those that moved in after the cut-off date
3) Those that moved out after the cut-off date

6.3 Principle of Replacement Cost

Replacement cost is the amount calculated before the displacement, which is needed to
replace an affected asset without depreciation and without deduction for taxes and/or costs
of transaction.

All compensation for land and non-land assets owned by households/shop owners who meet
the cut-off-date shall be based on the principle of replacement cost, as follows:

a. Existing applicable regulations, methods and available market price survey results of
the DPWH, DENR, DA, or LGUs shall be used for the calculations of the
compensation for structures, crops and trees.

b. Houses and other related structures are computed based on the actual current market
prices of affected materials, labor and mark-up cost.

Unit costs for the materials are updated every year, using the standard price in each
region. Labor cost is added as 25 % of the material cost. In addition, 20% mark up cost
representing the transportation and applicable taxes is also added to the total estimated
direct cost to come up with the total estimated replacement cost.

c. Annual crops are compensated based on the equivalent current market value of the
crops at the time of compensation;

d. For perennial crops, cash compensation at replacement cost should be in accordance

with the applicable local government regulations, and shall be based on the equivalent
current market value at the time of compensation.

e. For timber trees, cash compensation at replacement cost should be in accordance with
the applicable local government regulations, and shall be based on the equivalent
current market value at the time of compensation based on the diameter at breast height
of each tree.

CHAPTER 7 MEASURES OF COMPENSATION AND ASSISTANCE

7.1 Compensation for Loss of Assets

7.1.1 Compensation for Structures

Owners of structures, including shanty dwellers, included in the census survey shall be
compensated by DPWH at full replacement cost assessed by the DPWH Assessor.

A total of 60 structures shall be totally removed from existing locations. Out of said 60
structures, 44 are owned by the PAFs, and the remaining 16 are owned by the Absentee
Structure Owners (ASO).

In case the owner owns more than one structure, the owner is eligible/entitled for
compensation for all the affected structures if he/she can prove the ownership.

Renters, sharers and/or care-takers living on the affected structures are not
eligible/entitled for compensation for the affected structures.

7.1.2 Compensation for Improvements, Crops and Trees

For the improvements, such as dog-pens, wells, outdoor toilets, fences and barges, etc. to
be affected by the project, replacement cost shall be compensated based on the
current/prevailing market material, labor and transportation costs.

Also, PAFs who cultivate public lands along the riverbanks area, replacement cost of the
affected crops, vegetables and fruit trees/animals shall be compensated based on their
prevailing/current market value.

DPWH shall notify owners on the commencement date of the construction work to
encourage them to harvest crops.

For those who own fruit trees and non-perennial crops, DPWH will compensate them
based on the prevailing/current market price surveyed and publicized by DENR, LGU, or
Department of Agriculture, in accordance with the LARRIPP guideline. Moreover,
further survey and validation of market prices shall be undertaken by the DPWH in order
to apply a rational/reasonable unit price on those fruit trees and non-perennial crops on
the computation of their respective compensation cost.

40
7.2 Livelihood Assistance defined in LARRIPP (April, 2007) 1

(a) Transportation Assistance

Relocated people shall be eligible/entitled for transportation assistance.

(b) Inconvenience Allowance

Inconvenience Allowance in the amount of P 10,000 as a livelihood assistance shall

be given to the PAFs, both categorized as Affected Structure Owners and Renters.

(c) Rental subsidy

Rental subsidy shall be provided to the Renters affected by the project, equivalent to
3-months of their current rental fee but not to exceed P 15,000.

(d) Livelihood Rehabilitation Assistance

The status/changes of living standard of the PAF before and after the resettlement
shall be monitored by the DPWH.

When the PAF are found that their living standard worsens, or whose present means
of livelihood became not-viable, the DPWH, in coordination with other appropriate
institutions, shall provide assistances, such as skills and livelihood trainings.

The proposed livelihood rehabilitation programs shall be coordinated to the

concerned LGUs, considering that similar training programs conducted in the
existing socialized housing sites of the concerned LGUs may be adopted and also
the opinions and/or suggestions of the PAFs during public consultation in the
implementation phase of the project shall also be considered. The DPWH shall be
responsible to fund the said rehabilitation programs as well as look for the
appropriate institutions that will assist and provide such livelihood
programs/trainings/skills to the PAFs under the DPWH resettlement/compensation
programs.

Agencies like the Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Trade and

Industry (DTI), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA),
Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) and other institutions have extension
programs which can be linked to the strategic plan. Figure 11 is a list of training
courses given by Manila Manpower Development Center in 2011. All the courses
are free of tuition fee and targeted the youths, ages 16 to 24 years old. NGOs in
Metro Manila and Provinces where relocation housings are located, also have

1
The resettlement projects currently conducted by the LGUs in Metro Manila based on RA 7279 also apply similar
assistance with similar level of cash amount. The amount of the planned financial assistance and eligibility are
explained in the community consultation in April and July 2011, and no objection has been raised from participants
during the said activity.
However, whether the assistances and allowances are sufficient to support for the transition period is unknown.
DPWH, therefore, will target all PAFs for Livelihood Rehabilitation Assistance. DPWH will conduct quarterly
monitoring about the change of living standard of the PAFs before and after the resettlement. When the PAF are found
that their living standard worsen, or whose present means of livelihood became not-viable, DPWH, in coordination
with other appropriate institutions, will provide assistances, such as skills and livelihood trainings.

41
 significant expertise and resources that the project should utilized. Social Welfare
Department of LGUs and National Housing Authorities (NHA) may also have
useful information in finding appropriate NGOs that can provide such kind of
livelihood trainings.

The DPWH in collaboration with concerned institutions together with the

representatives of PAFs shall work together in planning and/or developing an
appropriate livelihood program.

Figure 11 Examples of Livelihood Trainings

7.3 Temporal Use of Private Land

Vacant parcels of land along the river bank of Pasig River and Lower Marikina River shall
be used by DPWH for the temporary storage of materials, work sites, etc., through renting
or leasing. Two (2) parcels of land are needed with an approximate area of 7,500 m2 each.
Suitable parcels of land will be identified and selected upon commencing the construction
works in 2013.

42
7.4 Entitlement Matrix

Types of loss due to implementation of the project, eligibility and qualification of persons
including entitlements are summarized in Table 30, which represent the Entitlement
Matrix.

The entitlements adopted are based on the DPWH LARRIP, IROW Procedural Manual,
and JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations 2010.

If there are PAFs who wishes otherwise to be relocated, they may apply for the
Resettlement Program provided by LGUs particularly the PRRC and Makati City,
depending on the location of their current residency. 1

1
Resettlement Programs offered by LGUs are summarized in table below.

• Relocation to social housing site, or Financial Assistance based on RA 7279 or City

Ordinance, and
PAF with legal ownership
of the structure • Free transportation of persons and belongings to relocation site if relocating to the
social housing. Otherwise, free transportation of persons and belongings to places of

 CHAPTER 8 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND CONSULTATION

In the scope of PMRCIP Phase II, the Consultant, Information Campaign and Publicity (ICP) Team
has continuously conducting various information campaigns in the target area of the proposed
construction works which includes Manila, Makati, and Pasig Cities. The campaigns are coordinated
for various groups such as government officials, general public, and students. The contents of the
campaign cover various educational subjects such as importance of flood control, and necessity of
river bank management work.

The DPWH, with assistance of the JICA Study Team on the Preparatory Study for the PMRCIP which
was completed in July 2011 had conducted information dissemination meetings in every barangays
with PAFs on April 19, 28, 29 and 30, 2011 (1st undertaking), on July 15 and 20, 2011 (2nd
undertaking), and August 12 and 20, 2011 (3rd undertaking) as shown in Table 31. The concerned
LGUs including the respective Barangay Officials, and its constituents especially the PAFs were
invited on said undertaking to inform and discuss information relative to the implementation of the
project including its importance, objective and possible impacts as well as to discuss and attend on the
concerns of the participants 1.

The said public information dissemination was conducted within the premises of each concerned
Barangays for the convenience of their concerned constituents to attend on said activity.

The agenda listed in Table 32 were covered during the said activity. In addition, information regarding
the contact names and numbers of the Key Officials of the Project has been given during the 2nd and 3rd

Table 33 Main Topics of Information Provided Regarding Resettlement Plan

1. The project are planned to be constructed at river bank sections/areas with low elevations and identified as flood
prone areas, without adequate protection works. Construction works will be done within the limits of the 3 m
easement area of the river.
2. If there are people residing within the 3 m river easement area, DPWH, together with the concerned LGUs (PRRC
and Makati City), will inform/discuss and/or consult those Informal Settler Families (ISFs) regarding their
resettlement. Resettlement is scheduled to be completed prior to the commencement of the construction works
which is scheduled in December 2013.
3. DPWH will compensate the asset loss in full replacement cost at prevailing/current market value. The project
affected structures and improvements will be compensated. For the vegetables and crops, DPWH will encourage the
owners to harvest them before the construction works. Those harvested crops will no longer be compensated. If
there are crops and/or trees not suitable for harvesting at the time of compensation, like mango tree, DPWH will
negotiate with the owner regarding the amount of loss, based on the condition of the crops or trees and the amount of
investment of the owners.
4. Before the actual resettlement activities, there will be at least three open forums for information dissemination and
discussion. DPWH will also conduct family-by-family consultations for assessment of their assets and any
necessary coordination and assistances.
5. The DPWH through the PMO-MFCPI including its field office are opened to accept opinions and questions relative
to the Project and other related concerns on the resettlement. (contact names, addresses, and phone numbers are
publicized during the meetings.)

 CHAPTER 10 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

Implementation Schedule of the RAP for the PMRCIP (Phase III) is planned as shown in Table
38. During Detailed Design (D/D) Stage of the Project, which will be carried out in Calendar
Year 2012, revalidation of the census/tagging survey result shall be conducted as part of the
Consulting Services for the D/D. Hence, if there will be identified additional households to be
affected due to changes in the design/plan and construction areas of the project as compared to the
preliminary design/plan proposed under the preparatory study, the RAP shall be revised to
include those additional PAFs. Accordingly, current cut-off date will be set for the census/tagging
of the newly identified PAFs.

The implementation of the RAP is planned to be completed prior to the commencement of

construction/civil works of the project which is scheduled in December 2013.

Therefore, resettlement of all PAFs including removal/demolition of their affected structures are
planned to be completed by November 2013. The actual demolition of the structures shall be
conducted with the presence of the PAFs and representatives/members of LIAC. Transportation
assistance will be provided to the PAFs, if needed, and also financial and food assistance shall be
provided prior to the resettlement.

 CHAPTER 11 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
The PMO-MFCP I will be responsible for receiving the complaints and grievances regarding the
design and implementation of the proposed construction works. The said PMO will also be
responsible for preparation and implementation of appropriate measures. PAF may also bring
their concerns to LIAC-BSAAC (Beneficiaries Selection, Awards and Arbitrations Committee),
or concerned sections/divisions of the LGUs being the secretariat of the sub-committee. All the
complaints and grievances received by PMO and LGU are to be brought to the Sub-Committee
for resolution. PMO will also endorse the complaints and grievances to ESSO for advise and
assistance.

During the community meetings prior to the resettlement activities, the channels for complaints
and grievances and related procedures shall be announced/publicized to the public including the
PAFs in the form of hand-outs like pamphlets brochures/ leaflets . After the community
meetings, all concerned institutions, including Barangay, LGU, PMO-MFCP I, shall use the same
hand-outs to explain the grievance redress procedures to those who come to them for filing their
concerns.

Grievances from the PAFs related to the resettlement implementation or any related issues to the
project will be handled, free of monetary charge, through negotiations and are aimed to have
consensus decision to the following procedures:
1. The PAFs will lodge their grievances by writing to the LIAC for immediate resolution.
When received verbally, the grievances may be written by the staff of LIAC, LGU, or
PMO-MFCP I, or staff assigned by PMO-MFCP I, for submission.
2. If the complaint is not satisfactory resolved in 15 days or the PAF does not receive any
response from the LIAC, the PAF can forward the complaint or file an appeal to the DPWH
NCR Regional Office (RO).
3. If the complaint is not satisfactory resolved in 15 days or the PAF does not receive any
response from the DPWH RO, the PAF can file a legal complaint in any appropriate Court
of Law.

PAFs shall be exempted from all administrative and legal fees incurred pursuant to the grievance
redress procedures.

After the relocation, PMO-MFCP I will be responsible for monitoring the living condition of
PAFs quarterly, be responsible for receiving all the appeals/complaints and will also be the first
window to receive the grievances. All the appeals received will also be documented, and be
brought to LIAC for immediate action.

Documentations of the received appeals/complaints/grievances shall be discussed in the LIAC

meetings for immediate actions.

 CHAPTER 12 RESETTLEMENT COSTS

12.1 Compensation Cost for Affected Structures

DPWH Replacement cost is the amount calculated before displacement which is needed to
replace an affected asset without depreciation and without deduction for taxes and/or costs
of transaction.

A comparative unit cost of the affected structure based on the market price in May 2011 and
sample of DPWH assessment in certain DPWH resettlement project is shown in Table 39.
Hence, the higher unit cost per square meter of the affected structures based on the floor
area and structure type was used/adopted in estimating the compensation cost of affected
structure.

Based on the applied unit cost as shown in Table 40, the total compensation cost for the
affected structures is estimated at P 5,286,787 (Table 42).

In the preparation process of compensation, DPWH shall conduct assessment of each

structure, using the same unit-price for public work contracts, and the value shall be
presented to and discussed with the owners. Therefore, it is reasonable to use DPWH
procedure for calculation of market value of the affected structure.

Note : In the preparation process of compensation, DPWH shall conduct assessment of each structure, using the same
unit-price for public work contracts, and the value shall be presented and discussed to owners.
*: In existing social housing program, NHA program require PAFs to pay total P. 65,000 for housing (Strong-type) in 30
years.

This sample cost was calculated using the DPWH standard assessment format. Items included
in the standard format for the concrete structure is shown in Table 43. The standard format
requires the assessor to evaluate the details of materials used in the structure, using the same
unit-prices applied for public work contracts, which are updated every year. Also, the format
requires the measured drawings of the structure to give concrete base for the volume / number
of the calculation. Unit costs for the materials are updated every year, using standard price in
the respective regions. Labor cost is added as 25 % of the material cost. In addition to the total
estimated direct cost, 20 % mark-up is included in the total of replacement cost, covering
transportation cost and taxes.

The necessary estimation/calculation on the affected structures are being prepared by the
IROWR technical staff and subsequently evaluated/reviewed by the Assistant Project Director
for eventual recommendation for approval by the head of the office. Finally, said prepared
documents will be approved by the Project Director. Based on these intensive assessment
works, the computed replacement cost is considered justifiable and reasonable.

In the Implementation Phase of the RAP, the DPWH Assessor shall assess each affected
structure, and subsequently, discuss the corresponding cash compensation to the structure
owner.

 CHAPTER 13 BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

13.1 Funds for RAP Implementation

Funds for the implementation of the RAP which include compensation, relocation and
livelihood assistance, and external monitoring will be included in the project budget of the
DPWH.

13.2 Update of the Cost Estimation

Estimated resettlement costs were based on the prevailing market rates of the materials in
2011. The market rates used for assessment of compensation will remain valid during the
implementation period.

In case of unforeseen delays beyond 12 months, that will be August 2012, the rates for
structures and fixed assets will be reviewed and adjusted as needed.

13.3 Procedures for Flow of Funds

The DPWH shall be responsible in providing the necessary funds for the implementation of
RAP.

The PMO-MFCP I shall implement the RAP upon approval through the DPWH IROWR
Committee and shall request the necessary funds to the Central Office of DPWH.

The IROWR-PMO, in coordination with ESSO-DPWH and LIAC, shall handle the
compensation and payments of the PAFs.

71
 CHAPTER 14 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

14.1 Internal Monitoring

An Internal Monitoring Agent (IMA) will be commissioned by the PMO-MFCP I to

undertake independent internal monitoring and evaluation.

The tasks of the IMA are to:

1) Regularly supervise and monitor the implementation of the RAP in coordination with
the concerned LIAC. The findings will be documented in the quarterly report to be
submitted to the PMO and ESSO, for eventual submission to JICA by the PMO.

2) Verify that the re-inventory baseline information of all PAFs has been carried out and
that the valuation of assets lost or damaged, the provision of compensation and other
entitlements, and relocation, if any, has been carried out in accordance with the
LARRIP and the respective RAP Reports.

3) Ensure that the RAP are implemented as designed and planned.

4) Verify that funds for the implementation of the RAP are provided by the PMO in a
timely manner and in the amount sufficient for the purpose.

5) Record all grievances and their resolution and ensure that complaints are dealt with
promptly.

All activities in RAP implementation will require for quality and quantity results which are
timely bounded. The PMO-MFCP I will be responsible for the internal monitoring of the
actual implementation jointly with ESSO against the planned activities, time frame, budget
and entitlement that will be done on an on-going basis throughout the subproject
construction and in the livelihood period of the affected households.

14.2 External Monitoring and Evaluation

An External Monitoring Agent (EMA) will be commissioned by the PMO-MFCP I to

undertake independent external monitoring and evaluation. The EMA for the Project will
be either a qualified individual or a consultancy firm with qualified and experienced staff.1
The Terms of Reference of the engagement of the EMA shall be prepared by the DPWH
and shall be acceptable to the JICA prior to the engagement.

The tasks of the EMA shall be the following:

a. Verify results of internal monitoring;
b. Verify and assess the results of the information campaign for PAFs rights and
entitlements;
c. Verify that the compensation process has been carried out with the procedures
communicated with the PAFs during the consultations;
d. Assess whether resettlement objectives have been met; specifically, whether
livelihoods and living standards have been restored or enhanced;

1
According to ESSO-DPWH, previous examples of EMA contracted by DPWH are; University of the
Philippines at Los Banos, private consultants such as Angel Lazaro and Associates Co., GHD Pty. Ltd., and
individual consultant Mr. Joselito P. Losaria .

72
 e. Assess efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of resettlement and
RAP implementation drawing lessons as a guide to future resettlement and
indigenous peoples’ policy making and planning;
f. Ascertain whether the resettlement were appropriate to meet the objectives, and
whether the objectives were suited to PAF conditions;
g. Suggest modification in the implementation procedures of the RAP, if necessary,
to achieve the principles and objectives of the Resettlement Policy;
h. Review on how compensation rates were evaluated; and
i. Review of the handling of compliance and grievances cases.

External monitoring and evaluation will be of two kinds: 1) random observation visits and
2) consultation with PAFs, both at their current residence area and at their relocation site.

14.3 Stages and Frequency of Monitoring

The stages and monitoring frequency of the contract packages by the IMA and EMA are as
follows:

14.3.1 Inception Report

This is the first activity that both IMA and EMA shall undertake to determine whether or
not the RAP was carried out as planned and in accordance with this Policy.

The IMA / EMA will submit an Inception Report and Compliance Report one month after
receipt of Notice to Proceed for the engagement. The engagement of the IMA / EMA
shall be scheduled to meet the Policy’s requirement of concluding RAP implementation
activities at least one (1) month prior to the start of civil works.

14.3.2 IMA Monthly Monitoring

The IMA will be required to conduct a monthly monitoring of RAP implementation

activities.

14.3.3 IMA Final Evaluation

Final evaluation of the implementation of the LARRIP will be conducted three months
after the completion of payments of compensation to PAFs. (LARRIP p. 44)

14.3.4 IMA Post-Resettlement Semi-Annual Monitoring and Evaluation

This activity will be undertaken every 6 months until the construction works end, to
determine whether the social and economic conditions of the PAFs after the
implementation of the project have improved.

When the PAF are found that their living standard worsens, or whose present means of
livelihood became not-viable, DPWH, in coordination with other appropriate institutions,
will provide assistances, such as skills and livelihood trainings.

14.3.5 EMA Semi-Annual Monitoring

This activity will be undertaken every 6 months until the construction works end to
follow-up whether the social and economic conditions of the PAFs after the
implementation of the project have improved.

73
 When the PAF are found that their living standard worsens, or whose present means of
livelihood became not-viable, DPWH, in coordination with other appropriate institutions,
will provide assistances, such as skills and livelihood trainings.

14.3.6 IMA / EMA Final Evaluation and Proposal Report

Final Evaluation and Proposal Report will be submitted one month after the completion
of the construction work.

14.4 Schedule of Implementation of RAP and Monitoring

The PMO-MFCP I through Project Consultant in coordination with the ESSO shall
establish a schedule for the implementation of RAP and the required monitoring taking into
account the project’s implementing schedule. It is expected that one month prior to the start
of the civil works, all RAP activities have been determined by the IMA and EMA as having
been concluded.

Proposed schedules of monitoring as of August 2011 are shown in Table 49 and Table 50.
