Third Quarter CY 2012 RPMES Report

The Regional Project Monitoring and Evaluation System (RPMES) report is prepared on a
quarterly basis to provide an overall view on the status of major program/project (P/Ps)
implementation in the region. The report is based on the submission of eleven regional line
agencies (RLAs).

I. CY 2012 Major Programs/Projects

For CY 2012, there are 46 major P/Ps with an aggregate cost of Php 10.633 Billion of which
about Php 5.9 billion or 55.52 percent are new P/Ps, Php 3.9 billion or 37.52 percent are
multi-year projects, and Php 0.740 billion or 6.96 percent are carryover projects.

In terms of cost, the economic development sector has the highest at 51.21 percent or Php
5,445 billion, followed by the infrastructure sector at 27 percent or Php 2,794 billion, and the
social sector having the least at 18.68 percent or Php 1,985.883 billion. Also included are
rehabilitation and reconstruction projects under the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) on areas
affected by typhoons “Pedring” and “Quiel” in 2011 amounting to 4 percent or Php 407 million.

1

In terms of funding source, 67 percent is locally funded while 32 percent is foreign assisted.
The foreign- assisted projects are: (a) Second Cordillera Highland Agriculture Resource
Management Program (CHARMP II), Php 3.2 Billion, (b) Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support
Program (ARISP), Php 903 Million; and (c) Rural Micro-Enterprises Promotion Program
(RuMEPP), Php 1.8 Million.

II. Project Implementation Status

For the third quarter, the overall status of project implementation is 43 percent, a 10 percent
increase from the second quarter. The SAP projects posted the highest accomplishment
followed the social sector, then the infrastructure sector. The economic sector’s low
performance is the due to the delayed implementation of its banner project, the CHARMP 2.
(Please refer to Annex A for the detailed status of the 46 projects)

Projects identified under the SAP of areas affected by typhoons Pedring, Quiel and Juan posted
an accomplishment of 96.41 percent, most of which are roads and school building projects.

The Social Sector obtained an overall accomplishment of 52.82 percent. The projects
reported under the sector are DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), DepEd’s Red
and Black Schoolbuilding Program, Rehabilitation of School Building including Water Sanitation
Facilites and Philippines’ Response to Indigenous and Muslim Education (PRIME), DOH’s Health
Facilities and Water System Projects and foreign-assisted Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local

2

Health System for Effective and Efficient Delivery of Maternal and child Health Service.

The Infrastructure Sector had an overall accomplishment of 47.09 percent, composed of
DPWH’s priority roads and bridge projects. These priority roads are mainly laterals that link
CAR to Regions I and II.

The Economic Sector posted an overall accomplishment of 45.57 percent. The sector’s
accomplishment is relatively the lowest due to the negative slippages incurred by two of its
major projects, these are: DA’s foreign-assisted project Second Phase of Cordillera Highland
Agricultural Resource Management Project or CHARMP 2 costing about Php 3 Billion, and
DENR’s National Government Priority, National Greening Program (NGP) costing about Php 124
Million. The other projects under the sector are DAR’s Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support
Project (ARISP III), DA’s Farm-to-Market Roads, NIA’s Irrigation Projects, DTI’s One Town One
Product Program (OTOP) and Shared Service Facilities SSF, and DOST’s completed Small
Enterprises Technology Program (SETUP), and Packaging and Labeling Project.

The overall performance during the quarter translates to four (4) P/P completed – the SETUP of
DOST, two (2) sections of the Abra-Kalinga Road, and Gurel-Bokod-Kabayan-Buguias-Abatan
Road, eight (8) P/P are ahead of schedule, 20 are on track, and 14 behind schedule.

Of the 14 projects reported behind schedule, 11 projects incurred negative slippages less than
negative 15 percent. The common reason reported was due to inclement weather/typhoons
in the project area. Agencies have adopted catch-up plans to put the projects on track. The
DA implemented CHARMP 2 had a negative 26 percent slippage because it underwent another
NEDA ICC process for project reconfiguration to address the issue on LGU counterpart.
CHARMP will have to retarget its work schedule once reconfiguration has been in effect. The
National Greening Program (NGP) also experienced a big slippage of negative 19.63 percent due
to change in procurement process. The NGP also adopted a catch-up plan to put the project
on track. The Philippine Response to Indigenous and Muslim Education (PRIME) of DepEd, is the
most problematic project that has a negative 51 percent slippage. DepEd acknowledges the
delay and has undertaken actions to put the project on track.

III. CY 2012 Priority Sectoral Programs/ Projects

From the 46 programs/projects, eight (8) were identified as priority sectoral programs/projects
by the sectoral committees and tagged as their banner projects. These programs/projects
with an aggregate cost of Php 5.3 billion are being closely monitored by the RPMC. These
were selected based on the criteria set during the RPMES national forum: (a) foreign- assisted
projects (FAP/ODA), (b) interprovincial, (c) large scale cost, (d) national priority, critical projects
by the Office of the President (OP), and (e) regional priority. These programs/projects are as
follows:

1. Second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Project (CHARMP 2)
2. Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)
3. Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project, Phase III
4. Kabugao-Solsona, Apayao-Ilocos Norte Road
5. Kabugao-Pudtol- Luna- Cagayan Boundary Road
6. Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local health System for Effective and Efficient Delivery of
Maternal and Child Health Services
7. National Greening Program
8. Red and Black School Building Program

Of the eight (8) priority P/Ps, five (5) have been inspected/validated, while the remaining three
(3) are scheduled for inspection by the RPMC before the year ends, these are CHARMP, 4Ps and
the Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local Health Systems for Effective and Efficient Delivery of
Maternal and Child Health Services. The JICA-assisted Cordillera-wide Strengthening of Local
Health Systems launched in the first quarter has accordingly procured medical equipment for
the provinces of Abra and Apayao. (Please refer to Annex B for the details of the eight priority
sectoral programs/projects)

IV. RPMC Project Site Inspections

An inspection/validation of the Kabugao-Pudtol-Luna-Cagayan Boundary Road and the Road
Opening of Kabugao, Apayao-Solsona, Ilocos Norte Road (Apayao Side) was conducted by the
RPMC Inspectorate Team on October 9 - 10, 2012. These are regional priority projects and
major components of the Cordillera Roads Improvement Project (CRIP). The roads are among
Apayao national roads upgraded from secondary to arterial classification through DPWH
Memorandum dated November 2, 2011 by DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson. This
memorandum was a result of an RDC-CAR dialogue with the DPWH Secretary held August 5,
2011 in Baguio City.

During the site inspection, the Kabugao-Pudtol-Luna-Cagayan Boundary Road is proceeding
smoothly having a status of 64.79 percent. The other project, the Kabugao, Apayao – Solsona,
Ilocos Norte Road, 0.50 percent status, was recently issued a resume order after a suspension
due to recent typhoons. It has been observed that the construction of several bridges in both
projects have to be programmed to make them passable. (Please refer to Annex C for
Inspection Reports)

Description:
The project goal is to reduce the poverty and improve the livelihood of poor rural women and men in
indigenous communities in the upland areas of the Cordillera Administrative Region. The objectives are
to (1) increase the household income of poor farmers through sustainable agricultural development;
and (2) enhance the quality of life of targeted communities by improving land tenure security, food
security and watershed conservation.

The project has five components: (1) community mobilization, participatory planning of investments,
and land titling; (2) community watershed conservation (including forest management and agro forestry
development); (3) agricultural and agribusiness development, and promotion of income-generating
activities; (4) rural infrastructure development; and (5) project management and coordination.

Current 1. Delayed implementation of infra subprojects due to difficulty of LGUs
Implementation in providing cash counterpart required as indicated in the NG-LGU
Issues and/or cost sharing policy.
Problems
Encountered 2. Approval of the proposed rural finance scheme/Livelihood Assistance
(if any): Finance (LAF) in place of the credit subcomponent.

3. Extension of OFID Loan Agreement which will close in July 2013

Actions Taken/ 1. The project is waiting for the approval of the proposed NG-LGU cost
Recommendations: sharing mix of 60%-40% for 1st-2nd class LGUs, 70%-30% for 3rd-6th
class LGUs from the NEDA Board. While waiting for its approval, the
Project recommended LGUs regardless of their classification to opt for
the cost-sharing arrangement included in the Project Financing
Agreement, where the CHARMP2 will shoulder 60% and LGUs will
provide 40% equity in order to proceed with the implementation of
proposed subprojects. However, only a few LGUs were able to provide
counterpart based on this scheme.

To initiate implementation of 25 submitted infra subproject proposals
from LGUs that could not afford said NG-LGU cost sharing scheme,
fund assistance from the DA-OSEC was sought to cover 30% of the
total cost of subprojects. The Project and the concerned LGUs are now
waiting for the release of CFA in the amount of Php 50 million from
the DA-OSEC.

As of June 2012, another batch of 71 subproject proposals was
submitted to DA-OSEC for fund support in the amount of Php 89
million.

2. Since the credit scheme as a subcomponent of the original Project
Design is not feasible for poor target beneficiaries in CAR, the Project
proposed for the Livelihood Fund Assistance (LAF) that would assist
livelihood and income generating activities of target groups. This
proposal is part of the revised Project Design which is now for
approval by the ICC/Government.

3. The Project requested for an extension of the loan validity to coincide
with the loan closing of the IFAD loan (June 2016). Request was
reiterated to DA-CO for submission to Department of Finance mid of
October 2012.

Remarks: The project is waiting for the final approval of the Revised Project Design
by NEDA ICC Board/ National Government.

project of DAR, designed to provide basic support services to help develop Agrarian Reform
Communities (ARCs). It is funded from a concessional loan from the Government of Japan with
counterpart financing from the DAR, Local Government Units and the beneficiaries. The project
timetable is from CY 2008 to CY 2014.

The project espouses the concept of integrated area development in the ARCs wherein basic
infrastructure, organization / institutional, agricultural and enterprise development support are
combined to produce incremental growth in productivity and income among farmers.
Specifically, the project considers the provision of farm-to-market roads (FMR) and bridges,
irrigation projects, post-harvest facilities, and potable water supply system under its
infrastructure component.

For institutional development component, this entails the organizing and strengthening of
various organizations in the ARCs to build their capabilities to operate and manage the
infrastructure facilities and agri-business in a sustainable basis. The project also supports the

B-10

development of viable agribusiness in the ARCs to harness the agricultural potentials, add value
to agricultural products, and make them more competitive in the market.

In CAR, actual project implementation commenced in CY 2011. From CY 2008 to 2010, the pre-
implementation activities conducted are indicative development planning, site validation,
project prioritization and individual project designs. There are 61 projects confirmed with an
aggregate cost of Php 903.86 M.

For CY 2011, two (2) projects (irrigation project and water system) were implemented and
recently completed with an aggregate cost of Php 16.72 M. These are located in the provinces
of Abra and Benguet.

DAR and NIA ARISP III Project Management Office representatives conducted Final Project
Inspection and Test Run of the newly rehabilitated Daguioman Communal Irrigation System ,
Daguioman, Abra with a service area of 89 hectares.

Completed Dalingoan Potable Water Supply System, Kapangan, Benguet. The project costing
P 2,094,916.00 will benefit around 89 Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Households.

B-11

For CY 2012, 12 projects (10 irrigation projects and 2 FMRs) are programmed for
implementation with a total cost of Php 167.44 M. These are located in the provinces of
Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mountain Province.

The Regional Project Monitoring Committee (RPMC-CAR) Inspectorate Team conducted on
09 October 2012 a project-site inspection on the Kabugao- Pudtol-Luna- Cagayan Boundary
Road. This is a regional priority sectoral project implemented by the DPWH-CAR regional
office.

The RPMC member-agency representatives were the following:

Rene V. Valera, DILG-CAR Jerome B. Agaloos, NEDA-CAR
James M. Degsi, DBM-CAR Manilyn S. Dulay, NEDA-CAR

The Team was assisted by the following DPWH Apayao 2nd Engineering District and
Contractor’s representative:

ADE Rustom Martinez, DPWH Apayao II Galo Aplod, OCDC
Jerry Ragojos, DPWH Apayao II

Before the field inspection, the group paid courtesy to the Apayao Provincial Government
officials at the Provincial Capitol in Luna, Apayao. The Team met with the Provincial
Administrator Vincent Talattad and Chief Executive Atty. Xandred Claveria.

2. Project Profile

The road is a major component of the Cordillera Roads Improvement Project (CRIP) as the
northern tip of the regional backbone. It traverses the municipalities of Kabugao, Pudtol
and Luna in Apayao and turns east to Abulog in Cagayan. The 95.7 km. road stretch directly
links the capital town Kabugao to Lower Apayao, the seat of provincial government and
business growth center.

The road is among the Apayao national roads recently upgraded from secondary
classification to arterial through DPWH Memorandum dated November 2, 2011 by Sec.
Rogelio L. Singson. This memorandum was an immediate result of the RDC-CAR dialogue
with Sec. Singson held at the DPWH-CAR office on August 5, 2011.

The bridges across Apayao River (Babulayan Bridge) and tributaries Maton and Nagan Rivers
have been completed. However, two (2) more major bridges across Malilibag River (60 lm)

4. Findings

The road construction is smoothly on progress. The mere 2.62 % negative slippage is
attributed to the work interruption during the past months due to inclement weather
caused by Typhoons Gener, Helen, and Igme. To address this, the DPWH advised the
contractor to provide additional manpower and equipment to fast track implementation.

5. Comment(s)/ Recommendation(s)

The work progress is commendable. It is however recommended that the DPWH should
also prioritize the programming for the construction of the bridges across Paco River
(District I) and Malilibag River (District 2) to finally open the road up to Kabugao.

10 October 2012 a project-site inspection on the Kabugao, Apayao- Solsona-Ilocos Norte
Road. This is a regional priority sectoral project implemented by the DPWH-CAR regional
office.

The RPMC member-agency representatives were the following:

Rene V. Valera, DILG-CAR Jerome B. Agaloos, NEDA-CAR
James M. Degsi, DBM-CAR Manilyn S. Dulay, NEDA-CAR

The Team was assisted by the following DPWH Apayao 1st Engineering District and LGU

Domingo Enciso, DPWH Apayao I Harold Aboran, LGU Kabugao

The group paid courtesy and held separate exit conferences with DPWH Apayao 1st District
ADE Edward P. Magno and LGU Kabugao Municipal Administrator Romeo B. Tamot.

2. Project Profile

The road is a major component of the Cordillera Roads Improvement Project (CRIP) as a
lateral road. It directly connects Apayao Province to Ilocos Region. It traverses the
municipalities of Kabugao and Calanasan in Apayao and turns west to Solsona in Ilocos
Norte. The 76.48 km road stretch is a segment of the San Nicolas-Solsona-Kabugao-
Conner-Abbut Lateral Road as Apayao’s direct access to Laoag International Airport. At the
Ilocos Norte side, concrete paving is being completed up to the regional boundary.

The road is among the Apayao national roads recently upgraded from secondary
classification to arterial through DPWH Memorandum dated November 2, 2011 by Sec.
Rogelio L. Singson. This memorandum was an immediate result of the RDC dialogue with
Sec. Singson held at the DPWH-CAR office on August 5, 2011.

It was noted that even after the project, the whole stretch remains a gap until concreted.
Likewise, seven (7) major bridges are to be constructed with a total length of 445 lm.

4. Findings

Project Suspension was issued on July 1, 2012 since the contractor cannot mobilize due to
series of slides and road cut along the 21 km section leading to the project site. To address
this, the DPWH-CAR requested DPWH-CO to utilize savings for the removal of slides and
restoration of road cuts costing Php 2.38 M. This was eventually approved and the
contractor was advised to resume effective September 30, 2012. Due to the slides and road
cuts, the group had to cruise Apayao River for two (2) hours using a motor-banca and hike
for an hour to reach the project site.

It was found out that the road alignment follows an old logging road of which some portions
were later widened by the AFP Engineering Brigade. Accordingly, the AFP had a military
camp at Barangay Madatag. The area has a vast potential for agriculture, water recreation
and Philippine eagle watching. The forest area along the river and within the Apayao-Ilocos
Norte boundary is a perfect eagle’s habitat.

5. Comment(s)/ Recommendation(s)

The leadership of Apayao Province and MLGU Kabugao in cooperation with the DPWH
Apayao I are commended for the swift conduct of a parcellary survey on August 2011 along
the road line to delineate private properties from road right-of-way (RROW). This was
among the conditions set by Secretary Singson prior to the issuance of the memorandum
and funding release.

For FY 2013-2016, the DPWH should program the construction of the seven (7) major
bridges with a total length of 445 lm. crossing several tributaries of the Apayao River.
Meanwhile, the contractor should immediately resume construction work.
