INTRODUCTION
The First Philippine Sanitation Summit 2006 was held on July 5-6 at the Heritage Hotel
in Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines. The summit was designed to provide a venue forincreasing awareness of major issues on environmental sanitation in the country and to
identify measures to improve the country’s sanitation conditions. About 200 participants
attended the summit. They came from different national government agencies, local
government units (LGUs), private business sector, non-government organizations (NGOs),
the academe, international community, Congress and Senate, and the media.
At the end of the summit, participants had completed an action plan for attaining the
country’s sanitation goals based on a common understanding of priorities, shared
commitments and resources, and responsive partnerships by national, local and private
stakeholders. Inputs to the action plan came from the technical presentations and
ensuing discussions. All papers and presentations are attached to this report in CD
format.
The summit was organized by the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) with support from the Philippine
Ecological Sanitation Network (PEN), a group of public and private sanitation agencies
and practitioners dedicated to the development and promotion of sustainable sanitation
solutions.
Background Information
The Philippine experience over the last three decades has shown that sanitation
interventions have not been sufcient. The country’s rate of development and
urbanization are pushing the boundaries of the few existing municipal sanitation and
wastewater systems to the brink of environmental health disaster.
Priority and resource allocation for sanitation in many Asian countries, including the
Philippines, where available, have tilted towards the rich and focused on commercial
and industrial issues. Consequently, the most vulnerable and marginalized domestic
population in urban and rural areas suffer the worst forms of deprivation and greatest
burden of disease.
In the Philippines, with the passing of the Clean Water Act of 2004, the DOH and DENR
are spearheading efforts to improve environmental health outcomes through sanitation
interventions. PEN is supporting these government agencies to develop a rational
program of sustainable sanitation over the next three years through the Philippine
Component of the Sustainable Sanitation for East Asia (SuSEA) Program.
The rst Philippine Sanitation Summit 2006 is part of PEN’s efforts to achieve this
objective.
Summit Objectives
The rst Philippine Sanitation Summit aimed to --

OPENING PROGRAM
Welcome Remarks The heads of the Summit host organizations, DENR SecretaryAngelo T. Reyes and DOH Secretary Francisco T. Duque III, welcomed the participants.
In his welcome remarks, Sec. Reyes underscored the importance of all the LGUs working
together to achieve the sanitation targets under the Millennium Development Goals
(MDG).
He acknowledged the strong support given by the international community to assist the
Philippines in achieving the country’s sanitation goals. He thanked the organizers,
sponsors and other agencies/institutions for working together to organize this rst ever
summit.
Sec. Reyes expressed condence
that after the summit,environment sanitation
programs would be given more
importance and attention by the
public.
In his Welcome Remarks,
Secretary Duque pointed out
that hygiene and sanitation are
paramount in the department’s
mission to stop deaths from preventable the diseases spread through the environment.
DOH has long recognized the link between sanitation and good health. Hygiene,
therefore, is a built-in philosophy in the aggressive implementation of the department’s
public health programs to protect people from food and water-borne diseases. Currently,it is also a key strategy in battling emerging public health threats such as SARS and the
Avian Flu. An effective vaccine is not yet available against these threats that can surpass
simple hand-washing.
The Secretary noted the department’s efforts to promote sanitation and hygiene have
been inadequate and piecemeal and that progress has been very slow in meeting many
health targets. Moreover, the progress in the health sector is under severe pressure
from rising health care costs and shrinking health budgets, thus the country’s rapid
development and urbanization are testing the sector’s capacity to respond to complex
health challenges especially in cities and slums. These areas are now becoming hot
spots for many diseases as urban dwellers are faced with worsening pollution and poor
access to water sanitation services.
Sec. Duque added that many health goals are left neglected. The health of the poor
mainly in rural and urban slum areas remains at risk unless safe water is piped into
their homes and hygiene becomes a daily habit. The biggest killer-diseases of Filipino
children, he said, are diarrhea, respiratory infections, parasitism with the risk of
disabling, and fatal malnutrition. These conditions could easily be eliminated if only
these children have clean water to drink and to wash their hands. He said that based on
statistics, 40 percent of Filipinos have no access to sanitation and supply of water.
“The health of the poor remains at risk unless safe water is piped into
their homes and hygiene becomes a
daily habit.”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2nd-philippine-national-sanitation-summit-first-sanitation-summit-proceedingsfinal 19/71
With the Manila Declaration on the Advancement of Sustainable Sanitation and
Wastewater Management in the Philippines, efforts to accelerate the development
and implementation of sanitation programs with lasting and profound environmental
health impacts will be harnessed. For its part, DOH, as the chair for the Inter-agency
Committee on Environmental Health, is committed to provide an enabling environment
for effective policies and actions. The committee will be convened to discuss post-summit
activities and take steps so that joint health and environmental actions become twinengines for ensuring sustainable sanitation and enhance survival. The lessons learned
from this summit will also contribute to the forthcoming regional initiatives in Asia
that will stimulate political action to enhance sanitation and hygiene in the different
countries.
In closing, Sec. Duque expressed optimism that the Philippines can all beat the odds in
improving sanitation and health once a true team approach to policy and environmental
changes is established. The summit was a good start towards achieving sustainable
sanitation and waste water management. He congratulated the Sanitation Summit
Planning Group, the DENR led by Sec. Angelo Reyes, and the PEN for their cooperation
and leadership in organizing the summit.
Introduction of the Keynote Speaker. DOH Undersecretary Ethelyn Nieto
introduced the Keynote Speaker, Congressman Augusto Baculio of the Second District of
Misamis Oriental as the best person for the job. Cong. Baculio is a staunch ally of the
environment. He is a member of the House Committee on Energy and the author of the
Clean Water Act and the Solid Waste Management Act.
Keynote Speech
Rep. Augusto H. Baculio
Second District, Misamis Oriental
Congressman Baculio acknowledged that sanitation is the most pressing concern in the
country.
Over 90 percent of all sewage generated in the Philippines, with households contributing
the biggest share, remains untreated. This untreated sewage pollutes our water
resources resulting in very fatal consequences: water pollution alone causes one-third of
all illness and accounts for 12 deaths per day, with children as the most affected group.
Overall, the sanitation problem in the country has been estimated to cost the country
about 67 billion pesos per year in terms of health services and losses in the sheries and
tourism sectors.
A World Bank report (Philippines Environment Monitor 2003) states that with only about
seven percent of its population served, Manila is ranked third to the last among major
Asian cities in terms of providing households with sewage treatment. Dhaka, Bangladesh
has 30 percent coverage; Phnom Penh, Cambodia has 40 percent coverage; Colombo, SriLanka has over 30 percent coverage. In this regard, he said, there is sufcient policies
and legislations to support any concerted action to solve the problem of sanitation in the
country. Among them is the groundbreaking Clean Water Act of 2004 which calls for
sewage treatment or septage management within ve years.
A number of LGUs have already initiated some measures towards fully implementing
the mandates of the law in their localities and they have come to the summit to share
their experiences and lessons particularly in building environmentally friendly, low-cost
sewage treatment systems. The Philippines can duplicate progress in other countries, but

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2nd-philippine-national-sanitation-summit-first-sanitation-summit-proceedingsfinal 20/71
much work needed to be done. The Congressman invited the participants to stop talking
and start doing something about it.
Through this summit, the participants will be able not only to identify sustainable,
practical and realistic approaches in confronting the country’s sanitation problem, but
also to design innovative and bold cooperative ventures between the public and privatesectors. These ventures, he said, should capitalize on their individual and collective
strengths in bringing about solutions to solve comprehensively this particular concern of
the country.
Gathering ideas and working together would spell a big difference in the provision of
assistance for concerns on environmental sanitation. In doing so, the Congressman
reminded the participants that working for progress in sanitation does not only bring
adulation of a grateful nation but the eternal respect of the next generation and the
generations to come.

Highlights
On the importance of talking about sanitation
Sec. Duque: It is important to discuss sanitation and hygiene because they are the
most important determinants of health. Thus, occasions like this are welcome to bring
together development partners, local chief executives, policy-makers, and decision-
makers to review the policies on sanitation and hygiene.
On the need to increase the sanitation budget
Sec. Reyes: The three percent budget [allocated for sanitation] is really low. As provided
for in the Clean Water Act, there should be an operationalized Water Quality Management
Program and the funds for this are supposed to be raised both at the local and national
levels. Right now, as per discussion with the DBM, this will be placed in a trust fund
rather than a special fund so that it doesn’t have to pass through the GAA. This is oneconcrete move to fund efforts in achieving water sanitation. Both national and local
levels should chip in to fund these investments.
On the most urgent message of the Clean Water Act (CWA) with respectto sanitation
Cong. Baculio: The urgency of having a clean and healthy environment cannot be
understated. This [initative] should have started long ago. Not tomorrow, but yesterday.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2nd-philippine-national-sanitation-summit-first-sanitation-summit-proceedingsfinal 22/71
On the need to appoint only qualied people to DOH positions intended for
sanitation engineers
Sec. Reyes: We are already taking steps to address the situation. The DENR has
undergone a reorganization and has appointed General Francisco Bravo as Senior
Undersecretary and Chief of Staff. General Bravo happens to be both a Sanitary and
Civil Engineer. We also now have Director Alikpala in the National Water Resources
Board (NWRB).
On the feasibility of meeting the MDG targets
Dr. Olive: The Philippines is doing quite well to achieve the MDG targets on sanitation.
We should continue to have the same investment.
On the ofcial denition of “sanitation”
Dr. Olive: It is ‘citizens having access to private individual toilets to dispose of their
wastes.’ There should also be a separation of disposal of the urine and the feces.
On San Fernando City’s experience with sanitation
Mayor Ortega: San Fernando has an EcoSan toilet that separates the feces from the
urine. Last year, the city achieved zero mortality rate; infant mortality rate was brought
down to 3 percent as against the 10 percent rate of the region. The city has a very active
24-hour health unit.
On the growing demand for sanitation interventions and how USAID is respondingto this demand
Mr. Jamshed: The American government has been in the development business for a
long time and we used to give assistance to various countries. However, we noticed that
sanitation generally is given low priority, to the point that when the awareness to do
something about sanitation comes, it is too late: the rivers are already in bad shape, youhave seafronts you cannot swim in, the canals are polluted. So what do you do? The
problem becomes so huge and cannot be easily addressed. Everybody talks about money
and require huge amount of resources, but commitment -- from the local communities,
the government, from the ministries to do something -- is the most important element.
With that commitment, projects will be strong. Without it, regardless of how much
money is put in, these projects will not succeed. They have to be self-sustaining.
Meaning, users have to pay, and there should be willingness to introduce user fees. In
USAID, we have the LINAW project going on and working in about eight cities. We also
have the SCOTIA project where we are targeting the tourist industry. Tourists can pay a
fee to help in maintaining the ecology of the place. We feel that if these pilot projects are
done, and there is passion to do it, and there is an action plan -- we will have much more
going than just talking about it.
On how to improve the Philippines’ sanitation and sewerage system
Dir. Alikpala: Sewerage systems have to be deeper to be more secure, which makes
them a lot more expensive. There is obviously a monopoly [in building these] and is
unregulated in terms of tariffs for LGUs. This will not encourage investments in the
sector. We really have done well in San Fernando City in achieving sanitation systems
that are effective and cheaper. Maybe we should try not to look at the statistics of
sewerage systems because it is only a fraction of the whole picture. Let’s look at
sanitation as a whole then compare it with others. We should also look at some other
alternatives.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2nd-philippine-national-sanitation-summit-first-sanitation-summit-proceedingsfinal 23/71
On how the national and local governments can work together after the summit
Sec. Duque: In one instance I asked one of the directors of the Land Bank of the
Philippines to look into the possibility of authoring or providing assistance by way of
loans perhaps, to most affected LGUs, specically those impoverished communities -- the
fourth, fth and sixth class municipalities -- and to look at the investment requirements
to put up a sanitation infrastructure and a potable water program. I think they’re just
trying to come up with a template as to how to provide this kind of loan.Mayor Ortega: This is not only the concern of fourth to sixth class municipalities. San
Fernando is a third class component city and it has not received any incentives at all for
water projects. It is also believed that we’re not ready to fully pay for the cost of these
projects.
On private sector participation in establishing sanitation facilities and services
Sec. Reyes: Because the public sector is low on cash, the private sector can help in the
infusion of technology and funding. This can be done through build-operate-transfer
schemes and the private sector can be better induced to this so that the terms, the
references and procedures are made clearer and conducive to private sector participation.
Mr. Jamshed: I just want to add that for one year or so, we were working with the
Japanese government in setting up a revolving fund. In tourist places, revenue
generation can be done by the private sector — at some point, user fees should also be
put into the picture so that this project will eventually be successful.
On what an ordinary person can do to promote sanitation
Sec. Duque: I think [what individuals can do] will be pretty limited to stop-gap measures
like ensuring that where water sources are doubtful as to its clarity or quality, people
should boil their drinking water. We also educate them through brochures on how to
do proper hand washing, which is often taken for granted. We teach people through
commercials in partnership with our sponsors. For example, in response to the possible
Avian Flu pandemic, (we) teach people about cough etiquette and how to properly dispose
of their used tissue paper to prevent the spread of the virus.Dr. Olive: There should be assurance in food safety and supply of clean and safe
drinking water. In coordination with UNICEF, the DOH is helping Pangasinan and La
Union, considering that these provinces are cholera-prone areas. The availability of
potable water supply here is quite successful.
Sec. Duque: We also provide chlorine granules to LGUs on request, especially in times of
ooding and/or calamities wherein water sources could get contaminated.
Mayor Ortega: True enough, San Fernando City is getting a regular supply of chlorine
granules given to those who have water wells.
On which sanitation technology or approach is best
Mr. Kanzler: Sometime in Bohol, we conducted the First Low-Cost Sanitation
Technology Conference which showcased and discussed ecological sanitation, widelyknown as EcoSan. Besides segregating the feces and urine that allows reuse of these
by-products, EcoSan also segregates the wastewater from the by-products, treating
wastewater in an environmental friendly way. We also discussed the principles for
sanitary water. The rst (principle) is, don’t pollute your water. If you have to produce
water, try to treat it in an environmentally friendly way, and ensure its sustainability.
Dir. Alikpala: Given our resources, we really have to do more advocacy, create awareness
and develop political will and promote any technology that will be the most appropriate
for every community and which will be most viable and sustainable.

READING OF THE MANILA DECLARATION
The “Manila Declaration on the Advancement of Sustainable Sanitation and Wastewater
Management in the Philippines” was read to the group by the Honorable George Arnaiz,Governor of Oriental Negros. Congressman Baculio led the signing.
Manila Declaration on the Advancement of Sustainable Sanitation
and Wastewater Management in the Philippines
Having met at the Philippine National Sanitation Summit on July 5 and 6 2006,
We, the representatives of national executive and legislative agencies, local governments,
academia, non-government organizations, and external support agencies,
With the goal of accelerating the development and implementation of effectual programs
on sustainable sanitation and wastewater management,
Based on a common understanding of sanitation and wastewater management priorities,
shared commitments and resources and responsive partnership,
And considering the nation’s commitment to improving sanitation and wastewater
management conditions in the country articulated in the Philippine Sanitation Code, the
Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Health Action Plan, and our obligations
under the Rio Declaration on Sustainable Development and to the United Nations
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in particular the challenge of Target 10 of Goal
7 on Environmental Sustainability, “To halve by 2015 the proportion of people without
sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation.”
Renew our commitments and hereby declare that:
Challenge
1. Poor sanitation and management of wastewater has led to suffering and death of
thousands of Filipinos, especially children under the age of 5; considerable health
burdens on families and the healthcare system; signicant losses to economic sectors
dependent on clean water and water resources such as tourism and sheries; and
intractable environmental degradation of the country’s natural water resources, above
and below ground, which also threatens the sustainability of our drinking water
supply.
2. High access rates to basic sanitation belies the inequality of access between groupsand the particular vulnerability of specic areas or groups of people, such as the poor
living in slums, remote rural areas and coastal areas. Neither does access to basic
sanitation, usually toilets, assume that wastewater is properly carried away from
living environments and treated before disposal. The exclusion of large numbers
of people from basic sanitation and the negligible portions of wastewater properly
treated and disposed have lead to the alarming persistence of sanitation- and
wastewater-related risks in the country, as demonstrated by the risk assessments
conducted by local governments and presented at this Summit.
3. Halfway to 2015, the MDGs deadline and 2-years into the passage of the Clean
8/6/2019 2nd Philippine National Sanitation Summit -First Sanitation Summit Proceedings_final
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2nd-philippine-national-sanitation-summit-first-sanitation-summit-proceedingsfinal 25/71
Water Act, progress in sanitation and wastewater management and improvements in
outcomes have not been apparent. Implementation of key aspects of the law have not
been pursued with adequate commitments and resources, such as the development
of the National Sewerage and Septage Management Plan, designation of Water Quality
Management Areas, identication of non-attainment areas and establishment of a
Water Quality Management Fund.
4. Public investment in community and municipal sanitation and wastewater facilities
has been miniscule over the last 30 years, whereas the estimated requirement for the
sector is PhP 40 billion.
5. Sector planning and management are weak due to poorly resourced institutions,
insufcient data and surveillance systems and weak coordination.
6. Institutional uncertainty and variability in the leadership, personalities and agenda,
at national and local level, are counter-productive and is a major factor in the
country’s under performance in hygiene, sanitation and wastewater management and
achievement of health and environmental benets.
Commitments
1. Sustainable sanitation and wastewater management are critical priorities in the
nation’s socio-economic development agenda, as recognized in among others, the
President’s 10 Point Priority Agenda, the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan
(2005-2010) and the various legislations mentioned, and must be advanced with full
commitment and cooperation from all sectors.
2. The directive under the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 for households and
establishments to connect to sewerage systems in urban areas and directs national
and local government to implement sewerage or septage management schemes in the
next ve years relies on enduring political, nancial and resource commitments from
the national government and local governments.
3. Advancement of this agenda at the national level rests on enduring and joint
leadership between the Department of Health and Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and cooperation from other agencies such as the National Water
Resources Board (NWRB), National Economic and Development Agency (NEDA),
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Public
Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Education, Metropolitan Waterworks
and Sewerage System (MWSS), Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and other
specialized bodies such as the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA).
To bear time-bound results and to avoid counter-productive variability in
institutional arrangements, the cooperation needs to be coordinated through the
highest levels of government through the IACEH, with periodic feedback to the wider
public of stakeholders
4. Local governments are primarily responsible for meeting health and environmental
objectives in their respective jurisdictions through hygiene, sanitation and wastewater
management programs. Appropriate and lasting hygiene, sanitation and wastewater
services need to be fostered by local governments through improved sector planning
and governance, rational allocation of cost of service between the public and private
sectors as well as the communities and users, and appropriate regulation and
enforcement

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2nd-philippine-national-sanitation-summit-first-sanitation-summit-proceedingsfinal 26/71
5. Private and public sanitation practitioners, coming together in partnership networks
such as the Philippine Ecological Sanitation Network (PEN), dedicated to supporting
the development and promotion of sustainable sanitation solutions in the Philippines,
and other project- and program-based partnerships between government and
international agencies, have a signicant role in the intermediation between national
and local governments, technical support, advocacy and resource-mobilization.
Principles of Solution and Program Development
1. Sanitation and wastewater solutions need to consider the environmental, social and
economic context of an area and the community and must seek to comprehensively
provide for appropriate options for a wide range of needs and abilities, with full
knowledge and participation of stakeholders.
2. While readiness of each local government will be varied, a plan outlining the
phasing of sanitation and wastewater development is desirable to rationalize future
investments. National and local governments, with participation from the private
sector, will endeavor to nd ways to progressively improve systems.
3. Community- and municipal-wide sanitation and wastewater management systems will be undertaken with due regard to the nancial, institutional, technical and
environmental viability of the service, system and service provider.
4. The use of affordable, environmentally-sound sustainable sanitation options and
pollution prevention approaches such as re-use and recycling of wastewater, urine
and excreta, will be promoted.
5. Hygiene and behavior change programs will need to complement sanitation and
wastewater programs to ensure that health outcomes are achieved.
6. Raising public awareness; increasing participation of individuals and entities
on sanitation and wastewater management issues and programs; and fostering
partnerships are important components of a sustainable sanitation and wastewatermanagement program.
7. National efforts in hygiene, sanitation, and wastewater management need active
coordination for coherence and complementation over a long-term period. National
government will need to provide enduring leadership, commitment and incentives to
support local government implementation of such programs.
Call to Partnership
1. Considering the mandates and jurisdictions under existing laws of undersigned
institutions and the foregoing declarations of commitment, this Summit calls on all
parties
to pursue and facilitate the development and implementation of effectual and
sustainable national and local sanitation and hygiene programs; and
to join hands on the formation of concrete partnerships for advancing the
Philippines' sanitation and wasterwater management agenda.
2. The partnership action will be organized and coordinated through the Inter-Agency
Committee on Environmental Health (IACEH) under EO 498 of 1991, chaired by the
Department of Health and co-chaired by the Department of Environment and Natural

Resources, calling on representation from local governments and civil society.
3. The partnership action will consider the various issues related to accelerating
progress in sanitation and wastewater management, including specically:
• Renew efforts to reach those at the margins of service and remain without access
to hygiene and sanitation services in order to achieve national MDG targets and to
share the health and developmental benets more widely across communities• Development and nancing of the National Sewerage and Septage Management
Plan and pursuit of appropriate and lasting investment programs following such
plan
• Accelerate the implementation of the Clean Water Act 2004, in particular,
designation of non-attainment areas, organization of Water Quality Management
Areas, establishment of the Water Quality Management Fund
• Improvement and nancing of the current data and surveillance systems
• Review and update of existing policies, laws and regulations, in particular PD 856,
IRR on Sanitation Code, Bldg. and Plumbing Codes, to reect the current threats
and opportunities and to develop practical strategies of implementation.
• Recommend actions and provide guidance on improving compliance to existing
environmental and sanitation-related regulations or revising strategies to improve
the achievement of their policy objectives• It will periodically report to the IACEH on its progress and to the forum in 2007.
4. The partnership action will also consider matters relating to continuing or formalizing
the partnerships around specic program activities, particularly those arising from
the discussions in the Summit.

PRESS CONFERENCE
Members of the media were given a chance to learn more about sanitation and hygiene
and related issues at a press conference with major partners. The panel of resourcepersons was composed of DENR Secretary Angelo Reyes, DOH Secretary Francisco
Duque III, Congressman Augusto Baculio, NWRB Director Ramon Alikpala, San
Fernando City Mayor Mary Jane C. Ortega, Calbayog City Mayor Mel Senen Sarmiento,
and GTZ Country Director Andreas Kanzler. Mr. Rolando Inciong of USAID-ECO-Asia
served as moderator.
Among the media institutions represented at the press conference were IBC-Channel 13,
ABS-CBN Channel 2, ANC Studio 23, The Philippine Star, The Philippine Daily Inquirer,
and The Manila Bulletin.
Highlights
Mayor Ortega of San Fernando City, La Union said that her city purchased a dredging
machine to clear a small creek that has been a depository of wastewater for the past
40 years, and a vacuum tanker to dredge canals to prevent ooding. The city will
replicate the Muntinlupa wastewater treatment plant under the LINAW ECO-Asia
Program.
Mayor Sarmiento of Calbayog City said that they will experiment on the use of coco
peat which he says is a good material for wastewater treatment. His city is looking
for something affordable because they do not have enough funds and they need to
address not only problems on the environment but also on sanitation.
Sec. Duque said that around 5.6 million Filipino households still do not have theirown toilet facilities, leaving them prone to health hazards and illnesses like diarrhea
and cholera. While the morbidity rate of diarrhea went down in 2004, it still remains
to be among the top leading causes of illness in the country.
Cong. Baculio said that the ‘Manila Declaration’ seeks to effect related programs
and achieve the MDG of reducing by 50 percent by year 2015 the number of people
without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation and to share the
health and developmental benets more widely across communities. The declaration
also calls for the development and funding of the National Sewerage and Septage
Management Program and acceleration of the implementation of the Clean Water Act
of 2004.
Cong. Baculio added that the country’s commitment in improving sanitation and wastewater management is articulated in the Philippine Sanitation Code, the Clean
Water Act, the NEHAP, and in the Rio Declaration on Sustainable Development.
However, efforts to improve sanitation and wastewater management are hindered
by infrastructures that were put up before such laws took effect, which is one of the
biggest challenges now. Our plea to the public is to help in the implementation of
the CWA because many of the service providers have to have disposal and treatment
facilities and not just dump wastes in the Pasig River or Manila Bay.

Sec. Duque said that the DOH has programs to address sanitation and hygiene
concerns. It is imperative, he said, to address these and bond together in partnership
with LGUs, international development agencies, the private sector, and non-
government organizations.
Dir. Alikpala said that achieving MDGs by year 2015 depends largely on government
and NGO response to improve clean water and sanitation facilities in the country. If we do not meet these targets earlier, the country will have problems with poverty,
diseases, infant mortality, environmental sustainability, and gender issues. Until we
meet our water and sanitation targets rst, the other targets may not be met. To be
able to have a sustainable supply of clean water, we must produce clean water and
treat wastewater properly. One vital strategy is to keep people from dumping water
waste into the Pasig River.
Sec. Reyes said that vigilance should be strictly done not only by the LLDA but by all
LGUs to identify polluters dumping wastewater in the Pasig River. Under the Clean
Water Act, increased penalties will be imposed on violators. The law must be strictly
implemented. Otherwise, we may end up with Laguna Lake as our only source of
fresh water. Such, he said, is the urgency of solving this problem.
Sec. Duque, in his closing statement, said that the media could do a lot in increasing
advocacy for sanitation in the country. He said we need to strengthen our efforts on
sanitation. One of the biggest challenges, he said, is to reduce maternal mortality
rate by three-fourths since a lot of women die while giving birth and a lot of these can
be linked to dirty water and unhygienic practices.
It is important, he said, that at the end of the summit there are key agreements. It
is easy to be kilometric with words, but at the end of the day it is action that will
measure our commitment.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS
Video presentation: The Clean Water Act and the Local Governments
Preceding the summit’s technical presentations and discussions was the showing of a
video documentary on “The Clean Water Act and the Local Governments” presented by
USAID, The Asia Foundation and Tanggol Kalikasan. The video served as a springboard
for discussion of the CWA and related issues.
In essence, the video discussed the following:
• The status of the country's water supply
• Harmful effects and causes of water pollution
• CWA and its salient features
• LGUs as key players and their roles and responsibilities in the implementation of the
CWA• WQMA: Section 5
• Composition of the WQMA governing board
• IRR of the Clean Water Act
• Consultation among related agencies that have been initiated
Discussion
Reacting to the presentation, Mayors Mel Senen Sarmiento of Calbayog City and Mary
Jane C. Ortega of San Fernando City discussed some of the initiatives being undertaken
at the local level to address sanitation issues.
Mayor Sarmiento said that the League of Cities in the Philippines is already “walking thetalk” in regard to sanitation. Four cities have successfully implemented a good number
of projects in relation to addressing their wastewater problems. These are Naga, Iloilo,
Dumaguete, and Muntinlupa. In most communities, he said, markets are situated beside
the river because the river is the easiest way to dispose of wastewater. With the passage
of the Clean Water Act, this is no longer allowed.
Seven other cities are now replicating these successful experiences. If more cities will
follow, he said we will easily be able to achieve our goals, especially with the passage of
the CWA.
Mayor Ortega said that with funds from World Bank’s LOGOFIND, payable in 15 years,
her administration has built a sanitary landll made of clay liners for San Fernando City.
The City has also conducted research on the actual implementation of EcoSan in twopilot barangays which is now being replicated in other barangays.
She urged participants to come up with a holistic approach for solving problems from
sanitation to solid waste management to clean air and health. We have to wake up
because if we don’t, there may be no legacy that we can bequeath to our children and
our grandchildren. Hopefully, she said, this summit would help to put us on the road to
success and create awareness in all levels of government and in all of us.

Technical Presentations
Overview of the Philippine National Environmental Health Action Plan (NEHAP)Dr. Yolanda Oliveros
DOH Director National Center for Disease Prevention and Control
The Philippine National Environmental Health Action Plan (NEHAP), as discussed byDr. Oliveros, are plans that arrange collaboration between communities and a range
of government sectors to improve environmental impacts on health at a national level.
Its goal is to foster collaboration among stakeholders on environment and health in
addressing environmental health issues. Stakeholders include government agencies,
NGOs, the academe, people’s organizations, and LGUs.
The Philippines NEHAP development was anchored on the Inter-agency Committee on
Environmental Health (IACEH) with sectoral task forces, namely: Solid Waste Sector,
chaired by DILG with DENR as vice chair; Water Sector, with DILG as chair and DA
as vice chair; Air Sector, DENR-chair and DOTC-vice chair; Toxic Substances and
Hazardous Wastes Sector, DENR -chair and DA- vice chair; Occupational Health Sector,
DOLE-chair and DOH-vice chair; Food Sector, DOH-chair and DA-vice-chair; andSanitation Sector, DOH-chair and DENR.- vice chair.
The initial sectoral task force meetings were held in August-September 2005. The
formulation of the Philippine NEHAP was carried out in September 2005. Other activities
initiated related to NEHAP were the National Forum on Health and Development and a
High Level Meeting (Undersecretary level), both of which were held in November 2005.
East Asia Sanitation: What are the Triggers of Success?Mr. Richard W. Pollard
Regional Team Leader, WSP-EAP
Mr. Pollard’s presentation focused on the factors that trigger success in sanitationprograms. The key, he says, is political will. And what brings about political will? They
are:
Champions at the highest level e.g., Head of State, Department Heads, Ministers,
Mayors, etc.
Vocal persistent popular demand
Effective lobbying by different interest groups
Epidemics of water-borne and sanitation diseases
Industrial wastewater/pollution disasters
Awareness of sanitation as a business
Media exposes and campaigns
Political will leads to action. And sustained action leads to increased access tosanitation.
In closing, Mr. Pollard said that a Regional Ministerial Conference on Sanitation and
Hygiene would take place in China in 2007. It will be attended by about 150 delegates
from 16 countries, including the Philippines. The meeting aims to accelerate progress
against MDGs by raising sanitation on the political agenda in their respective countries.

The National Sewerage and Septage Management Program FrameworkMr. Jose C. Roncesvalles
NSSMP TWG Chair
Under the Clean Water Act, Sec. 7, the DPWH is mandated to prepare a National
Sewerage and Septage Management Program (NSSMP). Sec. 8 species that DPWH shall
be required to connect existing sewage lines to available sewerage systems.
The specic goal of the NSSMP Framework Plan is to address waterworks and sanitation
issues and thereupon to promote viable, affordable, sustainable sewerage systems,
Septage Management Programs to be implemented by LGUs, WDs. The ultimate goal is
to protect, preserve, safeguard, and sustain quality of water, i.e. inland waters including
groundwater and coastal waters.
The specic issues that need to be addressed under the Plan are: the quality of inland
water (including groundwater) and coastal waters getting worse; households as a major
source of pollution loading; and water-borne diseases that still hound the population.
All these exact a heavy toll on the economy, quality of life, and the environment in
general. Other issues are: low public awareness; funding and cost considerations; low
priority for sanitation; and, institutional arrangements.
The strategies for addressing these issues are as follows: a) implementation of the plan
by phases according to doability, affordability; b) septage management with treatment
as a rst step; c) decentralized systems, interceptor systems as next phases; d) low-cost,
innovative schemes; and e) ultimately, full sewerage systems.
The key elements of the plan are: 1) raising awareness; 2) appropriate database; 3)
sustainable institutional arrangements; 4) fund sourcing/nancing mechanisms; 5)
septage management programs; and 6) sewerage infrastructure.
Conceptual Framework of the National Water Quality Management FundMr. Nicanor Mendoza
Chief, Environmental Quality Division
Environmental Management Bureau, DENR
Billions of pesos are needed for investments in the wastewater and sewerage treatment
facilities for which budgetary support is not likely to happen from the national and local
government -- thus the need to nd off-budget sources. Although the Clean Water Act
fund mechanisms show potential, it poses difcult challenges.
The funding mechanisms provided in the Clean Water Act are: the Area Water Quality
Management Fund (AWQMF) and the National Water Quality Management Fund
(NWQMF).
The AWQMF is being administered by the governing board of the WQMF. The funds
could be tapped for the maintenance and upkeep of water bodies in the water quality
management area. The sources of the funds are fees collected from wastewater charge
system; and donations, endowments and grants for the WQMA.
The NWQMF is being administered by the DENR as a special account in the national
treasury. The funds are sourced from nes and damages imposed by the PAB, proceeds
from permits, and donations, endowments and grants.
The use of both the AWQMF and NWQMF are well-dened under the Clean Water Act. So

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2nd-philippine-national-sanitation-summit-first-sanitation-summit-proceedingsfinal 33/71
are the prerequisites, likely sources and strategies for availing of these funds.
The next steps to be taken for project implementation are: a) AECEN to assist EMB-
DENR and DBM in preparing streamlined procedures for accessing funds; b) gather
baseline data to estimate the projected collections from fund sources (nes and pollution
charges); and c) facilitate establishment of WQMAs (for the area fund, access is only
possible after the WQMA governing board is convened, after the WQMA is established bythe DENR.
Conceptual Plan for the Pasig River Interceptor SystemMs. Bingle Gutierrez
Executive Director, Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission
To solve the problem of the Pasig River we have to address the main problem, which is
the quality of the river. Ongoing programs and projects being undertaken to address this
problem are:
riverbanks, transport and tourism development - focusing, among others, on the
relocation of informal settlers along the river banks as an initial target for Phase Ibecause the project is a 15-year program with three pie-slices;
environmental management - very heavy on policy reform
public information and advocacy - NGO partners are very strong on this
The proposed program of works includes the a) treatment of major and minor tributaries
(Ms. Gutierrez said that the Pasig River does not have a water of its own since its water
comes from Laguna Lake or Manila Bay or from the esteros and related water courses) ; b)
the construction of a river highway cum drainage interceptors; c) dredging of the rivers;
and, d) the introduction of the water quality electronic billboard.
The riverbanks development, including ood control and river walls, has been designed
using the step-ladder design. Therefore, one has to go down to the esteros to treat the
water and prevent the water pollution from going straight to the Pasig River.
The total approach in cleaning up Pasig River is to integrate Manila Bay Water Utilization
Plan, PRRC, and LLDA plans.

Ms. Jema Sy, WSP-EAP
Moderator
On the improper construction of septic tanks
Mr. Roncesvalles: The design and proper construction of septic tanks is essential if we have to
implement effective sustainable septage management programs. It is true that right now even though
the septic tanks are the major predominant methods for wastewater handling from households, many
of these septic tanks are improperly constructed. The issue also of whether we should combine other
wastewater coming from washings should denitely be addressed [in the Summit] if we are really serious
about implementing the Septage Waste Management program. We have to establish guidelines, rules and
regulations on proper construction and maintenance of septic tanks.

of these septic tanks are improperly constructed. The issue also of whether we should combine other
wastewater coming from washings should denitely be addressed [in the Summit] if we are really serious
about implementing the Septage Waste Management program. We have to establish guidelines, rules and
regulations on proper construction and maintenance of septic tanks.

The agency responsible for checking these septanks should come from the LGUs. To be effective, LGUs
must enact ordinances. We should have political will and the commitment to pursue the program.
On why LGUs cannot borrow directly from lending institutions instead of going through the local
banks where they have to pay higher interest rates
Ms. Bebet Gozun, ECO-Asia: This policy issue is already under study by the Department of Financeon the possibility of funds going directly to the LGUs. The League of Cities is now looking into this
and, hopefully, the panel will not take too long to deliberate on this issue. But let us take note that
there are possible risks to be considered like the foreign exchange issue. And this is where the national
government comes in. The other issue is on cost-sharing because of the lack of resources of LGUs
taking on the investment. There is a policy of the Investment Coordinating Council (ICC) that there
should be some cost-sharing in developmental projects.
On LGU and national government cost-sharing
Mr. Joey Roncesvalles: I support Ms. Gozun in saying that cost-sharing is the obligation of the national
government simply because any improvement in the area will redound to the national government. It’s
only fair that they share the cost in improving the environment. This is being done in other developing
countries, why can’t we do it here?
Mr. Ranulfo Feliciano, Sanitary Engineer: Since the devolution, there is now the practice of cost-
sharing. Thus, funds should be allocated in terms of equity. It is only proper that LGUs and the national
government share the cost of improvement of the environment.

PRESENTATION OF LGU CASES ON FOUR
THEMATIC AREAS
To provide a basis for priority interventions, risk assessment case studies (RACS) of
12 selected LGUs were undertaken previous to the summit. For these case studies, asimplied method was used combining quantitative as well as participatory techniques
developed by PEN’s Sanitation Summit Preparation Group (SSPG).
A two-day meeting was convened for these LGUs in May with the aim of working with
them in assessing risks related to the lack of sanitation and hygiene using available
environmental health data and information that these participating local governments
provided. The data gathered and preliminary analysis carried out during the meetings
were further processed with support from the SSPG. The results of the exercise in four
LGUs were the main presentations in this session with the following thematic areas:
• Promoting improved sanitation institutions: Organizations and Management
Systems, Policy, Laws, and Regulation
• Innovative Financing of Sanitation Projects• Sustainable Sanitation Technologies
• Sanitation Marketing, Behaviour Change and Advocacy
The four LGUs featured are Brgy. Consolacion in Cagayan Oro City, Muntinlupa City
in Metro Manila, San Fernando City in La Union, and Palapag in Northern Samar. A
team of consultants led by Dr. Mary Ann Lansang and Dr. Noel Juban provided technical
assistance in developing the RACS.

Session Chair: Mr. Karl Galing, GTZ
LGU Case Study: Assessment of Sanitation and Hygiene Practices in BarangayConsolacion, Cagayan de Oro CityMs. Glenda Sol
Agronomist, Peri-Urban Vegetable Project
Background: Barangay Consolacion is an urban barangay located along the riverbanks
of Cagayan de Oro City with 55% of the households living below the poverty line. The
area was chosen because coastal areas and riverbanks are among the targets of the
EcoSan Project since the concept is more focused on preventing the contamination of
ground water from pathogens and nutrient overload.
Study Objectives: a) to determine hygiene practices in the case barangay; b) to identify
existing sanitation facilities along the riverbank; and, c) to make interventions on existing
problems related to sanitation.
Methodology: Household survey and focus group discussions. From the surveys
conducted, the sampling strategy and sample size were determined, after which the
team members were identied and were able to interview 184 households out of the total
1,920.
Findings: As a result of the focus group discussions, common environmental problems

were identied as follows:
lack of toilet facilities
poor access to water supply
no proper solid waste disposal due to stealing of drums
ooding of the island during heavy rains due to no enough soil lled in
pig-raising which is not suitable in such a small area that emitted foul smell
poor water drainage due to garbage clogged in a canal that makes it stagnant.
Based on the results of the analysis in this study it was found out that the barangay has
poor hygiene practices resulting to sanitation-related diseases.
Recommendations: In view of the results of the study, the following action steps are
recommended:
implementation of EcoSan in Barangay Consolacion, particularly those living at the
riverbank areas, with proper advocacy and intensive education
communication campaign conducted by the barangay in coordination with local
and national government on health and sanitation, hygiene and environmental
awareness
possible aid/grant/funding sourced out either from national or foreign assistance tohelp alleviate the living condition through livelihood programs to benet the residents
strong partnership between the city government, academic institutions and local
communities in the planning and implementation of programs and projects on
sanitation.

LGU Case Study: Muntinlupa Community-Based SanitationMr. John Emmanuel Timothy Pabilonia
LINAW Team Leader for Muntinlupa City
Background: The case study was conducted in Purok 2, Barangay Sucat, which is
situated along the shoreline of Laguna Lake. The case study area is predominantly
inhabited by low-income informal settlers and is periodically ooded. Prevalent in this
barangay were cases of groundwater contamination and water-borne illnesses among the
young population.
Study Objectives: a) to identify signicant problems on water and sanitation specic to
this area, and b) to identify possible intervention to address these problems.
Methodology: Survey; EpiInfo for data analysis, and community consultations
Respondents: Total number was 99, of which 90% were married. Majority (65%) were
high school graduates, 18% nished college, and 12% were elementary school graduates.
The average number of family members was from 3 to 5; 64% were receiving a monthly
income from P1,000 to 10,000.
Findings: Based on the surveys, 97% of families get their water from communal artesian
wells, less than 50 meters away from their home, while 68% buy bottled water for
drinking. Most of them sourced their water for cooking and bathing from the communal
artesian wells which are stored in plastic containers and which are possibly prone to
contamination. Water sourced from the wells used for drinking is boiled by 50% as

against the 41% who do not boil their drinking water. Hand washing is practiced before
and after eating, after defecating, and bathing, thus there is awareness of sanitation in
the community.
The survey also showed that 92% have their own toilet while 8% utilize communal
toilets and 99% are water-sealed with septic tanks although these facilities experienced
overowing when oods come in. For the water waste management, 65% of household wastewater ows directly to the barangay drainage while 34% goes to the ground and
eventually drains into the lakes and the possibility of the overow of septic tanks causes
the waste to come in contact with water sources.
Action Plan:§Information education program to be adopted by the City Health Ofce
§Physical assessment of the area to be conducted by the City Engineer’s Ofce
§Proper sanitation facilities to be established by rehabilitating the drainage system and
the construction of a community sanitation center with a properly designed water-
sealed, elevated septic tank. A user-fee system will be applied to generate resources
for the maintenance of the sanitation center.

On the purpose of the RACS exercise
Ms. Sy: One purpose of the RACS exercise is to conduct a baseline so that if someone intended to apply
interventions, it would be easy to nd out not only which interventions are appropriate but also, later on,
whether they were effective or not.
On the role of the community in the proposed intervention [in the Muntinlupa Case Study]:
Mr. Pabilona, LINAW Project: The community side of the intervention will include the user fee system.
People in the community will have to pay a user fee for the use of the public toilet or bath. Another is for
City Hall or any funding institution to contribute materials in building a sanitation center while people can
provide the labor as their counterpart in the project.
On how the end-results of the case study in Cagayan de Oro can be assessed
Ms. Glenda Sol, Per-Urban Vegetable Project: The indicators of health sanitation could be an increase
in the practice of hand-washing and decrease in cases of sanitation-related diseases.

Background: San Fernando City has 59 barangays, most of them in mountainous
areas. The study sites were two coastal barangays: Barangay Poro, with a population of
more than 6,000, and Barangay Ilocanos Sur, with a population of about 4,000. These
barangays are characterized by the presence of informal settlers with households lacking
access to sanitation facilities and proper disposal of waste.
Study Objective(s): to assess the sanitation and health issues related to the lack of access to safe and sustainable sanitation facilities in the study sites and formulate
appropriate sanitation interventions.
Project Team members: Staff from the City Health Ofce, Engineering Ofce, Planning
Ofce, and Environment Ofce. CAPS provided funds through the ISSUE program.
Methodology: Household survey; Focus group discussions with barangay health
workers; key informant interview; ocular inspections of sanitation facilities, and review of
secondary data.
Respondents: The study had 371 respondents, i.e., 261 from Poro, and 110 from
Ilocanos Sur. The typical respondent is female, married, aged 31-40 years old. Their
major occupations are: sherman, laborer, and vendor. Their average monthly income isP1,000 - P5,000
Findings:A. Sanitation Facilities
67% of total HHs have own toilets
93% were water-sealed or pour-ush type
54% toilets located inside the house while 45.2% situated within the compound
toilets were found to be dysfunctional and not properly maintained septic tanks were
defective and located near water sources
33% of total households have no toilet facilities thus utilizing communal toilets
83% of the toilets were located less than 50 meters away from their houses
B. Possible contamination of water supply Two out of three or 2/3 of the respondents discharge waste water into the soil
Main sources of water for drinking, cooking and bathing are shallow wells located
within the compound
Almost all (91.7%) of the HHs store water in plastic containers
Less than half (47%) boil their drinking water, few (22%) do not employ any type of
sanitation practice
Children often defecate on the ground and near the coast.
C. Incidence of disease
Gastro-enteritis topped the list followed by intestinal parasitism and 1 case of
cholera.
With the above ndings, there is a priority need for ecological sanitation facilities to
prevent incidence of diseases and prevent contamination of the groundwater and water
supply.
Recommendations:
Implement ecological sanitation in the two case barangays; presently the City has
installed 54 EcoSan toilets in Poro where the shermen’s village was located in which,
upon completion, 97 families from Ilocanos Sur will be relocated.
Institutionalize ecological sanitation as part of the City’s Strategic Sanitation Plan; the

Plan is already in its nishing stage with the EcoSan program already incorporated.
Condemn contaminated water sources and defective septic tanks along the coastal
areas
Safe water systems: household container disinfection. The city distributed chlorine
granules for their use.
Continuous IEC program on EcoSan.
Based on the study conducted, Dr. Posadas said that the results tend to show that
sanitation behavior may vary from people who prefer to squat while others would prefer
to sit, there are people who prefer to wash while some may prefer to just wipe. So, we
need to make the intervention appropriate with the behavior of people who will benet
from the intervention.

LGU Case Study: Northern Samar Case Study on Sanitation
Dr. Delia Chy Municipal Health Ofcer, Municipality of Palapag
Background: Palapag is a fourth class municipality with 32 barangays having a population
of 32,258 comprising of 5,987 households; water is sourced from Levels I and II artesian
wells; 81.54% have toilet facilities. The LGU has a complete health staff.
Diarrhea is one of the 10 leading causes of morbidity and mortality and outbreaks occur
almost yearly in different barangays of the municipality. Schistosomiasis is endemic in the
area which ranked ninth in the leading causes of morbidity.
Study Objectives: a) to assess the sanitation situation of the municipality and its impact to
health; and, b) to formulate/recommend plan of action to address the existing problem.
Methodology: Household survey in four barangays, focus group discussions and in-depth
interviews.
Respondents: 83.3% have acquired elementary and high school education; the average
monthly family income is less than P5,000; majority source their water from Level I wells;
83.5% have toilets;
Findings:• Diarrhea ranks 3rd in the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Outbreaks occur
almost yearly in different barangays.
• Schistosomiasis ranks 9th in the leading causes of morbidity. It is endemic in the
area.
• High proportion (82%) of residents with family income of less than PhP5,000/month.
• The reported sources of water among 503 respondents were: doubtful source--52.3%,
Level 1—38.4%, Level 2—9%
• Possible contamination of water supply due to its close proximity to sanitation facility
Of the 16.3% without toilets, solid and human waste disposal was in the river (41.5%),
elds/land (42.7%) and elsewhere.

Ms. Jema Sy, WSP-EAP, World Bank
Moderator
Ms. Sy said that based on the case studies presented, contamination of water supply is caused mainly by
septic tanks near the water sources and faulty septic tanks. The safe water intervention introduced is the use
of chlorine granules to treat water supply.
On how barangays can be expected to maintain and operate Ecosan successfully when they have not
been successful in doing so with their septic tanks
Dr. Posadas: The problem with the previous septic tanks was that they were not properly designed,
constructed and maintained. It is very difcult to train barangays on proper maintenance of septic tanks
when they are located in areas where when you dig 1-1/2 meters below ground, there is already water. So
we know that most of the septic tanks are designed and constructed in such a way that they are not sealed at
the bottom, so however you want to teach them how to maintain their septic tanks, the groundwater will still
continue to be contaminated. When we explained to them how EcoSan works -- that it does not need water,
it would not contaminate water and they can recycle by-products -- they came to accept the system. So, it’s
only a matter of explaining the advantages of this facility compared to the other facilities.
On permits issued by sanitation authorities to households that construct toilets near their water source
Dr. Chy: Most of the people in the community own 10 by 10 meter lots to construct their houses, so they
put shallow wells inside their premises, including their toilets. We have already identied this problem.
Water is contaminated because of its proximity to the water supply although sanitary inspectors are
campaigning and telling people that the standard distance of toilets to the water supply should be meters
away. That distance, however, already encroaches upon the neighbor’s lot. So, they can’t construct a pump
within the lot of another owner. The ultimate solution that the LGU is now planning is the construction of a
Level III water system that would cater to the entire municipality. Hopefully, this will reduce the incidence
of diarrhea in the area.
On how other wastes and household water treatment or alternatives are being addressed
Dr. Posadas: It is true that in our area, chlorine is being used for disinfection. That is only a mitigating
measure to reduce the contamination of water supply. Another is to prevent contamination of water sources.One way of doing this is the construction of sanitary toilets because that’s what we’ve found in our area
- - that it is the cause of contamination of water sources. Another cause is the illegal dumping of wastes in
bodies of water.
On the integration of home sanitation technologies with household water treatment to support potable
drinking water
Dr. Posadas: We are focusing mostly on sanitation and water management in this summit. But I think the
case studies have shown us that the interventions may need to have multiple solutions. The reason why we
are focusing on sanitation in this summit is because we think that a lot of attention has already been given to
household water management.

On conducting advocacy at the grassroots level
Dr. Chy: We encourage people’s participation in planning. This way they can feel that they are part of the
program and have a part in nding solutions.
Dr. Posadas: We implement a very effective strategy by involving the community in identifying problems
and solutions. We utilize barangay health workers since they are the front liners in the community. Wecapacitate them and they communicate with the community, they organize barangay sanitation committees to
oversee their programs in their communities.
On why drums in Ecosan toilets in La Union Question are not well sealed
Dr. Posadas: We see to it that the lids of the substructure are not well-sealed because ventilation is needed
to enhance the destruction of pathogens, but of course we recognize that the facility should be free of ies.
Dr. Chy: Water-sealed toilets were implemented only in three barangays with high prevalence of
schistosomiasis. However, this created envy among other barangays and therefore, installation was
discontinued because they’re waiting for the national government to provide the other materials needed.
Workshop: Identifying sanitation-related risks
Based on the case studies presented, participants were asked to answer the following
question:
“In the area where you’re working, wherever you are, in Indonesia or in
Zamboanga, what do you consider is the most signicant sanitation-related risk?
Where do you think is the cause of this risk? ”
Participants were requested to write their answers on meta cards. Their inputs:
The risk of contamination is from poorly constructed septic tanks and the fact thatin their area, the soil is mostly limestone where ground water is more susceptible to
contamination
The root problem is hygiene behavior, culture and behavior of people (Indonesia)
Some barangay residents do not know the concept of the use of a septic tank as well
as its maintenance
Septic tank is too close to the water supply, that would cause the hygiene as well as
the sanitation problem
Proper implementation of laws
Overow of the structure (Sri Lanka)
Awareness of the community, hygiene behavior, no wastewater treatment, septic
tanks not de-sludged (Vietnam)
No proper sewerage system where several major factories should drain their
wastewater

The last activity for the day was the launching of two publications entitled “Sanitation
Sourcebook and Decision Aid” and “Clean Water Book for Local Governments”.

OPENING PROGRAM
The day’s activities started with the showing of a video presentation on “Super PN,” the
Naga City campaign for wastewater management sponsored by USAID-LINAW. NWRB
Executive Director Ramon Alikpala formally opened the session.
Brief RemarksRamon Alikpala, Executive Director
National Water Resources Board
Citing the productive sessions of the rst day, Director Alikpala congratulated the
organizers of the summit for giving their full support in attaining its objectives. He
said that the main focus of the second day activities is to chart how each LGU or ofce
interacts with a changing environment and to identify the directions for each group.
Based on health statistics, the Philippines is on target to reach our MDGs and MTPDPtargets. But the fact that the participants have traveled so far, to sit here for two days to
talk about wastes and other taboo subjects, means we still have problems.
The case studies reveal that our sanitation system needs more improvement, and this
may include proper construction and maintenance of septic tanks. This summit is a
good place to start, to get our acts together, review our data, and redene sanitation
properly. We should also increase awareness in the sanitation sector and try to nd
a way to attract investments and lenders into the sector, not only economically and
socially, but even more so, politically.
Director Alikpala said the summit is an excellent time to share experiences and begin
to build upon our successes and use these in other areas. With political will, nothing is
impossible.

Establishing a Water Quality Management Area: Lessons from the Iloilo Pilot Area
Presentor:Hon. Juanito T. Alipao, Mayor
Municipality of Alimodian, Iloilo
Summary
The Clean Water Act mandated the creation of Water Quality Management Areas
(WQMAs) based on hydro-geological and socio-economic considerations. Tigum-Aganan
was chosen as a pilot area because of its existing watershed management structure.
Technical assistance is being provided by USAID to develop the pilot. The experience
in Tigum-Aganan is expected to guide the establishment of other WQMAs. The Iloilo
pilot WQMA is managed by a governing board composed of LGUs, NGAs, NGO, waterutility and business sector. Its action plan calls for the establishment and reforestation
of streamside forest buffers by Year 1; assessment of the water quality by Year 3;
establishment of barangay information center (bic), for each barangay by Year 1; and
maintaining the existing water quality in accordance with its ofcial classication by the
end of 2010.

effective campaigns, i.e., the 4 o’clock Habit, Masagana 99, this presentation talks about
how to make the media work for you. It also provides tips on how to mount a national
media campaign.
Open Forum
Technical Sessions A and B
Moderators:
Mr. Karl Galing and Mr. Gerry Parco
Question: What has been done about households and building establishments who already
have tanks?
Answer: We require them to apply for a new building permit if they do not abide with the existingprescribed ordinance.
Question: Do you have penalties for those who do not observe proper septic tank construc-
tion?
Answer: No construction permit is issued to those who do not observe proper measures in con-
structing septic tanks.
Question: How can you determine when the septic tanks should be de-sludged?
Answer: Toilet bowls should be de-sludged when the liquid level is almost full because basically
the septic tank receives the water coming from toilet bowls. There are monitoring teams assigned
to determine when the septic tanks should be de-sludged.
Question: Did the city government construct a canal where every septic tank discharges its
wastewater going to the LGU septic treatment? How about those families who can’t afford to
pay the prescribed city rate, and the delinquents, what will the government do with them?
Answer: Two pesos for the city rate is quite minimal. This was a product of a series of consulta-
tions. The drainage system is a long-term plan for every city.
Essentially the septic tank separates solid waste from the water. However, there is no 100% as-
surance that this will make the water clean, and to connect to the septic tank would be costly. For
undeveloped areas, it is impossible for now to construct a septic tank. This would be a long-term
project. Septic tank management is offered to minimize the problem. We should de-sludge prop-
erly so that waste will not pile up in the septic tank. The basic idea is waste will go to the soil.
The city must oblige the population to use water coming from the springs and not water from theground.
Question: With all those strategies, how much did the Muntinlupa local government spend
for the project?
Answer: From the projected 1.2M pesos, it went down to 300,000 pesos because Muntinlupa was
a recipient of a USAID technical assistance and so they did not spend for consultancy services. The
advertising aspect was done by a city scholar and the information campaign was not that expensive.

Puerto Galera Wastewater Treatment Financing -- PPP Model
Presentor:Mr. Rodolfo Pantillano
Partnership for the Environmental Management of the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA)
Summary: The municipality of Puerto Galera is visited by a million tourists per year. Under the
leadership of Mayor Aristeo Atienza and the Sangguniang Bayan, wastewaster treatment
has been identied as a priority project of the local government. It has created an
ordinance, “Establishing an Environmental User Fee System in the Municipality,”
which aims to collect a user fee of Php50 from tourists upon entry. It seeks to set
up an environmental trust fund to be used for environmental infrastructure projects
and environmental protection. The fund is seen to reduce nancial risks and make
the wastewater treatment project more attractive to investors. Barangays will also be
allocated a portion of the revenues for their own projects.

Environmental User Fee for HouseholdsPresentor:
Mr. Jose Cariño, Community Development SpecialistLaguna Lake Development Authority
Summary The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) is laying the groundwork for an
Expanded Environmental User Fee System for Households. The project will be piloted
in Lucban, Quezon, in 2007. Initial studies have shown that increased awareness of
the project can be translated into greater willingness to pay among the constituents of
the area. The Environmental User Fee System was initially implemented in the Laguna
de Bay region in 1997 and is said to be responsible for the substantial reduction in
industrial pollution in the Laguna de Bay region.

Technical Sessions C and DModerators: Ms. Rory Villaluna and Engr. Jay Tecson
Question: In the presentation on Community-based Financing Models, why wasn’t any
particular area in the Philippines selected?
Ms. Narvaez, USAID-LINAW: What’s commonly happening is we’re doing on-site sanitation. At
that level, our households pay. But beyond that level to fund a connection with a sewage system, we
don’t have that yet. We have little institutional arrangement so when we were looking for models, we
got from other countries. Admittedly sanitation has been given low priority both at local and national
levels, so let’s try to pilot our own model for sanitation and nancing.
Question: Most water utilities run by private sectors are sourced from watershed parks. How
can we collect [environment user’s fee] from the NIA and at the same time the local water utility?
Mr. Pantillano, PEMSEA: Expect rough sailing ahead. We wish you luck in collecting from theseagencies. Those who are extracting should be given something in return because it’s really a sector
issue.
Question: Would it be possible for LGUs to actually pass an ordinance requiring raw water
charge? Right now it is NWRB who is responsible for raw water management and they charge a
minimal fee.
Mr. Pantillano: Yes, they can, in their own localities.
Question: Cost recovery is usually required by lenders for a project to be feasible. Are there any
examples of sanitation loans with cost recovery?
Mr. Mandapat, LandBank: The Bayawan project is for both water and a low-cost sanitation
component. Panabo in Davao is also a water supply and sanitation project.
Mr. Carandang, DBP: The sanitation component of LGU loans has not yet taken off. All projects
submitted for funding so far are for water supply. Priority for sanitation is really very low. We tried
to use rural banks to do it on a wholesale basis, but we have not succeeded. While there are funds
available, the LGUs are not actually accessing the funds due to high interest rates, short repayment
period, inability in preparing feasibility studies, too many requirements, and high cost of consultancy
fees.
Unidentied Participant: Another reason why LGUs are reluctant to borrow is because of the tedious
process. The Executive branch has to get the approval of the council. And there are also political
interventions to contend with.
Question: It appears that the need does not match the resources. How do you address this issue?
Mr. Carandang, DBP: One of the problems of DBP’s Environmental Development Program is how
the borrower can collect fees from the households to repay the loan. Which is why we tried to use rural
banks to offer small-scale loan programs.
Question: Most nancial facilities are focused on urban areas. Are there facilities available to
community-based organizations or small scale providers to access these funds?
Mr. Mandapat, LandBank: Since these projects are located in far-ung barangays, they can organize
themselves and prepare a proposal requesting their Governor to provide potable water supply and
sanitation. As of now, the LBP has no facility to provide a loan to barangays. So it’s the Provincial
Government through the Governor who borrows and extends this to the municipalities.

CLOSING PROGRAM
Closing Remarks
Undersecretary Francisco Bravo Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Usec. Bravo congratulated the organizers for a job well done. He challenged the
participants to think about what would come next after the summit, especially in light of
a comment from one of the participants who said that this summit would result only, at
most, in one project each in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
He thanked the participants for sharing their experiences and insights and urged them to
continue working towards achieving the sanitation goals. He assured the group that the
DENR will translate their recommendations into concrete plans which he hoped the LGUs
will implement soon.
ResponseMs. Lisa Lumbao, Eco-Asia
Ms. Liza Lumbao said she looked forward to meeting with the group again in 2010 with
successes to report in their action plans. She requested the secretariat to type the action
plans immediately and send them by e-mail to the participants. While the summit
objective was achieved, she said there is a need to move on to the next step, to get more
action, and to be more proactive to be able to implement the action plans. She said
she was optimistic that the outputs of this summit would motivate and inuence other
regions. She assured participants of ECO-Asia’s continued support in this endeavor.
Expression of thanks
Ms. Leila Elvas, WSP-EAP, World Bank
Ms. Leila Elvas thanked the DOH and DENR for initiating this successful event. She also
thanked the participants for their overwhelming support. Without them this would not
have happened. She also commended the presenters of the RACS and all other resource
persons for sharing so much of their learning and experiences.
