HIGHLIGHTS Assessment Period: 21-27 April 2012. A total of 320 IDP households were each awarded a permanent shelter by President Benigno S. Aquino, III during a turn over ceremony in Calaanan, Canitoan, Cagayan de Oro. The 320 houses are among a total of 1,561 houses in various stages of completion in Calaanan Relocation Site. The evacuation center in Upper Hinaplanon Elementary School in Iligan was closed. 157 households moved to Siao Shelter Box Site. There are 20,474 IDPs or 4,640 displaced families hosted in 54 IDP sites. In total, 2,758 families were living in tents, 878 families in transitory bunkhouses, 531 families in makeshift shelters, 481 families in public halls and 65 in classrooms.

BACKGROUND

Tropical Storm Sendong (International Name: Washi) struck the northeastern coast of Mindanao on 16 December 2011, dumping over 142 millimeters of rain in just 12 hours. This triggered deadly flash floods from three major rivers, which killed and displaced thousands. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) in its latest report estimates that 117,665 families or 1,136,222 persons have been affected in 13 provinces, and that 48,499 homes have been totally or partially damaged. At the height of the disaster, over 400,000 persons were displaced and forced to reside in evacuation centers and sought shelter with host families. The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) was rolled out by the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster (CCCM), co-led by DSWD and IOM, to support the on-going delivery of assistance to the population who continue to live in the different evacuation centers in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.

The Displacement Tracking Matrix or DTM is an Excel based tool used by the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster (CCCM) co-led by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to gather data on the conditions of displacement in evacuation centres to better inform humanitarian response. In the Philippines, this tool was first rolled-out at the height of the Typhoon Ketsana response in 2009 and the floods in Central Mindanao in 2010.

IDP Population

The total IDP site population in both cities is 20,474 individuals with 13,500 in Cagayan de Oro and

6,974 in Iligan. This is a slight change from the last period. However, more and more of the

population are moving out of the evacuation centers into transitory and permanent shelter sites.

These number 1,354 households in

transitory sites and 353 households

in permanent shelters. While the

transferees now enjoy better living

conditions, those left behind,

especially those with special

vulnerabilities continue to

endure less than ideal

accommodations at the sites.

Shelter

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 27 April 2012 ° Shelter

During this assessment period, 2,758 families were living in tents, 878 families in transitory

bunkhouses, 531 families in makeshift shelters, 481 families in public halls and 65 in classrooms.

The shelters in the ECs are

deteriorating. They need tarpaulin

augmentation and structural

reinforcement while transfers to

transitory shelters are expedited, as

well. Some IDPs who can return to their

original places of residence are opting

to avail of shelter kit assistance, instead.

Some transitory shelters also have leaky

roofs. IOM provided tarpaulin for the

tents in Xavier Heights and roofing sealant for the Calaanan 5 bunk houses.

Meanwhile, the EMD began socio-economic profiling to identify priority permanent shelter

beneficiaries. Partly as a result of this process and the continued lobbying of the CCCM cluster, 320

households were each awarded a transitory shelter by President Benigno Aquino, III during a turn

over ceremony in Calaanan. The 320 houses are among a total of 1561 temporary shelters in

various stages of completion in Calaanan Relocation Site.

While these are significant accomplishments in the few months following the disaster, there are

still more displaced households living in dilapidated tents and makeshift shelters. The work to

repair the weather-worn tents and makeshift shelters must continue simultaneously with

facilitating transfers to temporary or permanent shelters and returns through ESK/SRK assistance.

More resources to make this possible need to be found.

WASH

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 27 April 2012 ° WASH

Save for a handful, the sites report general sufficiency of water. This is particularly true in ECs or

TECs in schools because there are no more classes and the IDPs have the water supply all to

themselves. Although water supply

could be improved through the

restoration or establishment of

connections to the city water systems.

The more predominant WASH needs

that remain have to do with the

maintenance and improvement of the

latrines and septic tanks. In addition,

personal hygiene supplies were

requested, as well as provisions for

bathing, laundry and dishwashing

areas.

Most WASH-related needs in Cagayan

de Oro were addressed by ACF this

period through the maintenance of

existing latrines and septic tanks and the building of new ones. ACF also delivered ecosan

temporary latrines from the WAND Foundation. Lastly, ACF provided hygiene kits and cleaning

materials for the sites. Other agencies involved in WASH for the Cagayan de Oro sites are DSWD

and the office of Representative Rufus Rodriguez that worked together along with ACF on the

construction of permanent toilets in Bulua Elementary School. In Indahag Camp 1, water supply was

augmented by the AFP's 4th Infantry Division which delivered water via fire truck and by Balay

Mindanao Foundation, Inc. that built a deep well. CRS also provided cleaning materials for Lapasan

EC. Finally, the IDP site residents themselves addressed their own WASH needs by digging roadside

canals in Calaanan 5 to minimize flooding and closing five latrines in City Central School by order of

the Cagayan de Oro City Health Office.

In Iligan, notable WASH efforts were by the Iligan City Water System and Save the Children which

did water refilling in the San Roque Tent City. Save the Children also organized a garbage collection

drive in Tambacan Elementary School.

Calaanan 5 in Cagayan de Oro needs more water for the needs of more residents. Cugman

Elementary School, Gusa Regional Science High School, Patag Covered Court, Xavier Heights

Covered Court in Cagayan de Oro and the Upper Hinaplanon Madrasah, the Tambo Tent City of

Tambo and the Siao Shelter Box Camp in Iligan have

similar water shortages also. ACF will negotiate with

water district for Km 5 ES drinking water. There is

also a need to advocate the use of tap water for

drinking. The water pressure at Tibasak is reportedly

very low especially in the morning. A possible

response is to provide back-up water tanks to

augment supply when the water district’s pressure

drops too low. Hinaplanon Madrasah Evacuation Center, Iligan

Health

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 27 April 2012 ° Health and Protection

The health centers of Barangay Camaman-an, Barangay 24, Barangay Macasandig, Brgy Iponan,

Brgy Lapasan, Brgy Mandumol, served the residents of their respective constituent sites by either

accommodating walk-in requests by the IDPs for medical attention or fielding health workers to

visit the sites. The clinic of Mt. Carmel Parish sends its nurse to visit the evacuation center and

address health issues there.

The health-related services provided at the sites include the following: Medical Missions have been

conducted by the Evangelical Church for Calaanan 2, a Christian Group for Calaanan 5 and Food

for the Hungry for Macanhan DSWD. Medicine kits were distributed by the Church of the Nazarene

for Calaanan 4. Circumcisions were performed by Dr. Calingasan of Cagayan de Oro City Health

Office for North City Central EC.

The remaining health items needed at the sites are as follows: Amakan 1 urgently needs nebulizers

several asthma sufferers. Other sites require vitamins for school age children and pregnant &

lactating mothers, betadine, gauze bandage, paracetamol tablets and syrup, petroleum jelly (for

burns), cotton, alcohol, anti-diarrhea medicine, basic medicine (for cough, colds, fever, diarrhea,

sore eyes).

Other health-related needs are health awareness/promotion programs and fogging to control

Dengue. The

DOH can be

a p p r o a c h e d

to provide

these.

Food and Nutrition In general, food distributions are becoming more regular through the efforts of the following:

DSWD, WFP, CFSI, Abante Mindanaw, the office of Representative Maximo Rodriguez, LAMP

Foundation, PNP and Vision International.

In the interest of improving the food and nutrition made available to the IDPs, the following

recommendations were gathered by the camp managers from the site representatives:

Expedite the distribution of food at the new transitional sites of Carmen Zones 8 and 10, as

well as in the old sites of Macanhan DSWD, Mt. Carmel Parish, Patag Covered Court in Cagayan

de Oro Alternative brand of canned goods

Facilitate coordination between WFP and DSWD so their deliveries alternate and site residents

do not have periods of surplus food and periods of no supply at all.

Make food distributions more frequent, weekly at least.

Provide more nutritious food – vegetable, fresh and non-processed -- especially for pregnant

and lactating mothers and milk formula for infants.

Page 7

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 27 April 2012 ° Education and Food/Nutrition

Education A number of groups are conducting educational activities at the sites. Among them are Child Fund, DepEd, Food for the Hungry and a Christian group. In relation to this, IOM constructed a platform for use as a learning space at the Amakan 1 site in Cagayan de Oro and Balay Mindanao Foundation, Inc . Other education-related assistance provided include a commitment made by the administration of Camaman-an High School in Cagayan de Oro that it will accommodate the additional students coming from the Amakan 2 and 3 sites this coming school year. More child-friendly spaces need to be allocated in the sites especially those without educational institutions nearby. Aside from these, appropriate reading materials could be provided. Furthermore, sites with informal education needs could be referred to agencies that provide the same. Among the educational modules sought are tutorials in Reading and Mathematics, Health, Ecology and Values. Some of the families in the sites have also expressed apprehension about the coming school year. Their greatest concern has to do with the costs of education which include matriculation, books, school supplies and transportation. They anticipate not being able to afford sending their children to school yet since their livelihoods have not yet been restored. Perhaps there are scholarship programs that can be made available to these families to address their valid concerns. Besides this, they are also unsure where to enroll their children because they do not know where or when they will be transferred. This further builds the case for expediting the movement of these families to the transitory or permanent sites before the enrollment period arrives.

Protection According to the DTM data for this assessment period, women and children don't feel safe in four

sites in Cagayan de Oro hosting 744 families. Perhaps contributory to this are the facts that in both

cities, also as per DTM findings, security is not provided in eight sites with 686 households, police

and barangay tanods don't patrol nine sites with 605 households and in most sites, certain

protection-related services are not provided. It is however interesting to note that even with

police/tanod visibility and security provided at the Calanan 1 and Provincial Capitol evacuation

centers in Cagayan de Oro an atmosphere of safety is not created. In site sites as well as in a

number of others, protection-related cases occur with domestic violence, drug/alcohol-related

incidents and friction with the camp population being the most common among the sites.

These concerns have been referred to the

proper authorities, as well as the

Protection cluster for immediate action.

At the same time, the CCCM cluster

gathered from the sites information on

measures that can mitigate their

protection issues. Strategies such as the

organization of fathers into safety patrols

and the provision of simple security

paraphernalia such as whistles,

flashlights, safety vests, fire extinguishers,

ID cards, hot water pots and coffee are

now being implemented.

Page 8

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 27 April 2012 ° CCCM/NFI

CCCM and NFI

NFIs

The displaced populations in the sites continue to indicate needing NFI assistance. IOM supplied

the following NFIs specified by the site management committees: family kits, kettles, frying pans,

cooking pots, airpots, thermoses, jerry cans, water hoses, padlocks for toilets, coffee, safety vests,

flashlights and whistles. Ateneo de Davao also distributed plastic drums, dish racks, plastic dining

sets and folding beds. Save the Children distributed clothing kits. Finally, GMA Kapuso Foundation

gave out clothes to the site residents.

Site Management

As discussed at length up to this point, all sites in both Cagayan de Oro and Iligan have

management committees in place whereby the needs and issues of the residents are identified and

effectively addressed. Furthermore, coordination of these committees are now in the hands of

social welfare and development authorities, if this was not the case at the onset of the response.

As the disaster response enters the early recovery phase, the CCCM cluster’s attention is focused

more on facilitating the transfer of IDP households to transitory and permanent shelter sites. Land

acquisition for relocation use continues at a steady pace especially in Cagayan de Oro where

negotiations were relatively easier. All means need to be exhausted in order to assist as emergency

shelters are quickly deteriorating at a time when an early rainy season is expected to arrive.

Besides this, there is only one month left before classes resume and school-based IDPs will need to

move out of their current dwellings doubly soon.

Progress is being made in this regard. For a majority of

transitory and permanent shelter sites, the move-in of

beneficiary families more or less coincides with the

completion of construction. However, in the case of

XU Ecoville, the transitory shelters there were

completed in March and most remain vacant up to the

present.

IDP Movement and Site Closure

President Benigno Aquino, III has formally turned over 1,561 houses to the IDP beneficiaries in a

simple turn-over ceremony in the Calaanan Relocation Site last 27 April 2012. A total of 320

families from Calaanan Tent City 1 have already moved to their permanent shelters.

Recently, there has been a lot of movement of IDPs from ECs located in public structures and

schools to transitory sites. Last week, 30 IDP families have been moved from Camaman-an and

Tibasak ECs to the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Amakan houses in Calaanan 7 resulting to

decongestion of the said camps.

According to the CRS, 5 more ECs namely: Bulua, Puerto, Bugo, City Central and Cugman, will be

closed by next week as 180 Amakan houses will be open for occupation at the Sabanal property in

Calaanan. On 4 May 2012, 51 IDP families are currently being transferred to the newly opened

transitory site, Calaanan 6, leading to the closure of Barangay 24 EC. North City Central School EC

will also be closed the next day after transferring 58 more families to Calaanan 6, to partially

occupy the 190 IOM bunkhouse units.

XU Ecoville, Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro

Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report ° 27 April 2012 ° Food/Nutrition and CCCM/NFI

As already stated, now that camp care and maintenance structures have already been put in place

and have become fully functional, more effort is being put into moving the IDP households into

locations with better living conditions such as transitory and permanent shelter sites. The most

ambitious projection for the completion of all permanent shelters is in August of this year. In the

case of transitional shelters, although there are enough resources available for building them, there

is a need to identify land on which to build 500 additional units. There are already properties

identified to partially fill the need. However real estate prospecting for such use continues so that

the gap can be fully addressed. Also, there needs to be an abundance of alternative building sites

as land negotiations can easily fall

through.

Furthermore, careful processes of

beneficiary selection for permanent

shelter assistance are underway in

both cities. This is though each city’s

Local Inter-Agency Committee on

Permanent Housing.

But besides this, the self-sufficiency

of the displaced families must also be

built up so that they may cease to rely

solely on humanitarian assistance and

attain truly sustainable resettlement.

Since a significant number of the IDPs lost productive assets to the flood, they need assistance restoring their livelihoods. Among the major efforts in this regard is a large-scale month-long training program implemented for the displaced communities in Calaanan 1, 2 and 4 by the Cagayan de Oro Community Improvement Division. The program ended recently with more than 500 trainees benefiting. One means of generating income currently catching on among the displaced households is rag-making. Since they started the business, a number of households are said to be have earned more than four thousand pesos already. Among those supporting this livelihood opportunity for the IDPs are Liceo de Cagayan University and the National Housing Authority which provided rag-making materials for Patag Covered Court. The Department of Labor and Employment, on the other hand donated some sewing machines to an IDP women’s group in Tibasak Covered Court. Bangon Kagay-an led by Mr. Lito Munoz supported the rag-making livelihood project in Amakan 1 through sponsoring the training of selected IDPs, providing start-up equipment and raw material and then selling the products. The rag-making enterprise of the IDPs can be supported through provision of used clothing. Capitol University also gave trainings on rag-making, as well as peanut butter-making and jewelry-making to selected beneficiaries in the North City Central site. Referrals may be made to similar agencies that can provide similar trainings. Aside from capacitating the IDPs in providing goods and services, efforts must also be exerted on assisting the IDPs in finding markets for their goods and services. Product exhibits and job fairs are possible options.
