EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Community-Based Forest Management Program (CBFMP)

revolutionized forest development and rehabilitation efforts of the government

when it was institutionalized in 1995 by virtue of Executive Order No. 263.

Before the adoption of the CBFM approach, the sole motivating factor of

contract reforestation awardees was primarily financial gains. With the

implementation of the Forestry Sector Project (FSP) using CBFM as its main

strategy to rehabilitate the upland ecosystem, it empowered beneficiary

communities economically, socially, technically and politically while transforming

them into environmentally responsible managers. The tenurial right to develop

subproject sites alongside the various inputs from the Subproject deepened

their commitment to collaborate with other stakeholders in the implementation

of these subprojects.

The San Roque Watershed Rehabilitation Subproject is located in the

Municipality of San Nicolas, Pangasinan and plays a crucial role as it complements

the San Roque Multi-Purpose Dam responsible for generating hydroelectric

power and irrigating rice fields of Pangasinan. The San Roque Multi-Purpose dam

is the biggest in Asia and 11th in the world.

With San Roque Dam’s goal to generate 345 megawatts of electricity and

irrigate around 70,500 hectares of rice fields, the implication of the

Watershed’s rehabilitation on agriculture, industries and domestic requirements

is enormous. Its impact on the environment equally so with the reduction of

recurring floods as vegetative cover is improved, among others.

The San Felipe Watershed Management Inc. (SAFEWATER), one of two

people’s organizations established in 1997, entered into a PHP28.8 million

contract with the DENR to rehabilitate the San Nicolas side of the watershed.

It was able to establish a total of 1,638 hectares plantation composed of: 1,389

hectares reforestation plantation, 145 hectares. agro forest plantation, 22

hectares Rattan plantation, and 82 hectares Assisted Natural Regeneration.

These plantations established are expected to significantly increase stumpage

production and improved vegetative cover to minimize soil erosion while

enhancing the ecological habitat of the remaining wildlife in the area.

In terms of employment generation and improvement of socio-economic

condition of the communities, the Subproject was able to provide regular

employment for 207 PO members in the performance of its plantation

establishment activities apart from assistance in livelihood projects. This

undertaking increased their annual gross income from PHP 71,774 to PHP126,

ii

290. With this, the PO members were able to provide their children primary

and secondary education unlike before.

Infrastructure facilities also proved to be vital in the sustainability and

promotion of livelihood projects of the PO. The water system irrigated the agro

forestry area enabling the PO members to increase their production and

harvest. The farm-to-market road on the other hand facilitated primarily the

transport of agricultural and agro forest products to the market. Nonetheless

the road also makes possible accessibility in going to and from the Subproject

site as well as in linking the community to health and other basic services.

SUBPROJECT COMPLETION REPORT

Of

SAN ROQUE WATERSHED SUBPROJECT

Loan Agreement No. PH-P 135

Forestry Sector Project

I. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION

The San Roque Watershed Rehabilitation Subproject is located in the

Municipality of San Nicolas, Pangasinan and covers one of the tributaries of

Lower Agno River. It lies between longitude 1200 30’ to 1200 45’ and latitude 160

07’ to 160 12’. It is bounded on the

north by a public forest and the San

Roque Multi-Purpose Dam; on the

south by alienable and disposable land;

on the east by a public forest and on

the West by the lower Agno River.

The topography of the area ranges

from hilly to mountainous with

moderate slopes to very steep slope

towards the boundary of Benguet.

The Subproject is accessible by any type of vehicle, 1.0 kilometer coming from

the Multi-Purpose Dam and about 3.5 kilometers from Barangay San Felipe East.

The rehabilitation of the area complements the San Roque Multi-Purpose Dam,

constructed by the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR). The Dam generates

hydroelectric power and irrigates the rice fields of Pangasinan.

1. Purpose/Objectives

A) Original (at the time of appraisal)

The subproject was aimed at establishing a sustainable watershed and

empowering the local community to manage the watershed resources.

It specifically aimed to:

1. Strengthen and empower the local communities in order to

capacitate them as watershed resources managers on a

sustained basis;

2

2. Establish a total of 2,195 hectares of f orest plantations using

site adaptable species;

3. Develop a total of 605 hectares of agro forestry areas for the

economic benefits of the community participants as well as the

environmental protection of the upland watershed;

4. Enrich the existing secondary forest by integrating rattan in

499-hectare secondary forest within the watershed

5. Produce sufficient and good quality water to support agro-

industrial development in Pangasinan and the surrounding areas;

and

6. Uplift the socio-economic well-being of the community people

by providing them employment and ecologically-sound livelihood

activities.

B) Modification

a. Modified purpose/objectives

1. To rehabilitate a total area of 1,389.0 hectares of denuded

forest land by planting Mahogany, Narra, Gmelina, Eucalyptus

and Benguet Pine;

2. To developed 145 hectares of agroforestry area by planting

mango intercropped with kakawate cuttings.

3. To establish 22 has. inadequately stocked area with rattan

and enrich 82 has. Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) area

with Narra and Mahogany.

b. Reasons for the modification

The reason for modification was the cancellation of the San

Manuel side area. The original scope of the San Roque Watershed

Rehabilitation Subproject is to develop 3,299 hectares forest

area within the Municipalities of San Nicolas and San Manuel. The

cancellation of the San Manuel side led to the reduction of the

target area to 1,638 hectares left for the San Nicolas side to

accomplish.

b.2. Detailed statement of reasons (with background)

Substantial Revision of design due to the unpredictable physical

condition at the time of appraisal


The community organizing activities for San Manuel side was

undertaken by a Non-Government Organization: SAVED for Greener

Environment. The contract was not completed because the

contractor had been deliquent in accomplishing the target activities.

The contract was eventually cancelled due to the cancellation of the

CSD contract of the People’s Organization (PO).

Comprehensive Site Development (CSD)

The original scope of the subproject covers a total area of 3,299

hectares situated in the municipalities of San Nicolas and San

Manuel, Pangasinan. The target comprises 2,195 hectares of forest

plantations, 605 hectares of agroforestry areas, and 499 hectares

of rattan plantation within the secondary forest.

Two POs were organized as contractors of the CSD activities. For

the San Nicolas Side, the San Felipe Watershed Management Inc

(SAFEWATER) was formed in 1997. For San Manuel, the Community

Environmental Protectors Association of San Roque (CEPAR), the

PO organized by the SECAL Project of DENR, was contracted for

the CSD of that area. For its part, SAFEWATER was very active in

strengthening its organization in the course of its CSD activities.

On the hand, CEPAR encountered organizational and technical

problems in its CSD activities alongside the existing conflict

between the PO and the Local Government. Finally, the construction

10

of the San Roque Dam aggravated the situation that eventually led

to the cancellation of the San Manuel Side.

From 1997-1998, CEPAR has developed 190 hectares reforestation

plantation and raised seedlings for the Agroforestry and Rattan

Components. Planting of a total of 2.6 hectares of hedgerows for

soil erosion control was also accomplished. But all of these were for

naught when the area was submerged to give way to the San Roque

Dam.

The cancellation of CEPAR resulted to the reduction of the target

area from 3,299 to 1,638 hectares. The 1,638 hectares was the

development plan for the San Nicolas Side. SAFEWATER fully

accomplished the said target.

Infrastructure Facilities for CSD

The infrastructure facilities required to be put up within the CSD

areas was subsequently reduced with the cancellation of CEPAR. The

required facilities for the San Nicolas side on the other hand were

retained : three (3) bunkhouses, two (2) lookout towers, and one (1)

unit PO Office.

SAFEWATER was able to establish the required infrastructures.

However, only two (2) of the constructed bunkhouses are being

maintained and operational. A Water System, constructed to

support the CSD activities and made of four (4) cubic meters water

tank and 15-kilometer pipe that supplies potable water to the PO

and SUSIMO Office was also built.

Others (Accomplishments of SAFEWATER)

Change of component due to root rot disease

SAFEWATER met the set target of 1,638 hectares composed of

1,389 hectares reforestation plantation, 145 hectares Agroforest

plantation, 22 hectares Rattan plantation, and 82 hectares Assisted

Natural Regeneration. Target area for the Rattan component, as

stipulated in their original contract, was to plant 104 hectares

situated in the secondary forest of the watershed. But the

established 104-hectare Rattan plantation was infested by root rot

disease resulting to a very low survival yield, only 22 hectares

remained. In 2002, instead of replanting rattan in the secondary

forest area, they transformed the remaining area into Assisted

Natural Regeneration (ANR). Within the said ANR area, they also

planted Narra and Mahogany species to attain the required stock

density of the area.

11

Others (New guidelines was released)

Monitoring and Evaluation

It was the consensus during the appraisal stage of project

implementation that Inspection Chart Mapping activities will be

undertaken for the monitoring and evaluation of the area. Later on,

new guidelines were formulated on the monitoring and evaluation

process for the FSP sites.

c.2. Original (At the time of appraisal/Planned)

Item

Description

1. Plantation Establishment The reforestation activities would yield

significant increase of stumpage

production.

Land uses would improve and consequently

minimize accelerated soil erosion,

landslides, and stream bank erosion.

12

The established vegetative cover would

enhance the ecological habitat of the

remaining wildlife in the area and the

surrounding communities.

Water yield and quality would improve and

support the irrigation, industrial, and

domestic needs of the down stream

communities.

2. Allocation scheme of Land

Management Units

To effectively implement the subproject

development activities and to ensure better

protection and maintenance of the

established plantations, the total area for

development shall be allotted among

households as Land Management Units

(LMU).

3. Support to San Roque

Dam Project

The increase in water discharge from Agno

River would complement the San Roque Dam

Project.

The San Roque Dam aims to:

a. Generate 1.16 Billion KWH of electricity.

b. Irrigate around 70,500 hectares in

Pangasinan and would increase palay yield by

5.3 million cavans per year.

c. Improve water yield and quality. Would

reduce recurring floods.

d. Trap upstream mine tailings that are

polluting the Lower Agno River System.

4. Employment Generation

and Increase in Household

Income

The community would be organized and will

be in the forefront in implementing

plantation establishment activities. This

would create employment opportunities and

livelihood options thereby uplifting the

socio-economic condition of the people.

c.3. Present situation and outlook for the future

Item

Description

1. Long drought The area falls under climatic type I where

there is long dry season. This condition

13

however is mitigated as a result of project

intervention in the area, resulting to

increased vegetative cover and lowering

of temperature.

3. Support to the San Roque

Dam

The rehabilitation of the San Roque

Watershed supports/complements the San

Roque Dam. The continuous yield of water

from the San Roque Watershed will greatly

enhance the fullest the function of the

dam as it generates electricity and

supplies water for irrigation. The

rehabilitation of the watershed will ensure

continuous supply of water to the dam and

reduce the occurrence of floods.

4. Awarding of Tenurial

Rights/ CBFMA

The issuance of CBFMA on December 15,

1998 ensures the sustainability of the

project. Through this, the PO is bound to

manage and protect the Subproject area

for 25 years renewable for another 25

years. Within this span of period the

protection of the San Roque Dam is thus

assured.

5. Employment Generation,

Increase in Household

Income, and Creation of

Livelihood Project.

The implementation of the Subproject

provided regular employment for the 207

members of the PO. There were periods

that non-members were also hired to

perform the CSD activities.

In effect, the annual gross income of the

members increased from PHP 71,774 to

PHP 126,290.

Subproject implementation was not limited

only to physical accomplishments in the

area, but also empowering the People’s

Organization and the community was

another focus. While performing plantation

establishment activities, the DENR

assisted the PO in establishing viable

livelihood projects. The on-going livelihood

projects will support future activities of

the PO and ensure the income generation

14

of the community.

Increase in the household income of the PO

members have improved their socio-

economic condition. Proper education is

provided to the beneficiaries’ children, a

great improvement of the situation before

project implementation with children not

being able to complete primary education.

With the presence of the subproject and

its positive financial effects, children of

the PO members were able to finish

Primary and Secondary education.

6. Construction of Farm to

Market Road

The 2.4 kilometer Farm to Market was

rehabilitated to facilitate accessibility in

going to and from the subproject site. The

rehabilitation primarily supported the

transportation of agricultural and

agroforest tree products to the market. It

also linked the community to health and

other basic services and made education

accessible to children.

7. Construction of Water

System

The Water System irrigates the

established plantation specially the agro

forest trees and the farmlands within the

subproject and adjoining areas. The

irrigation of farmlands will increase

production and harvest. Moreover, the

water system now benefits households for

their domestic use.

People’s Organization for Comprehensive Site Development

Relocation of the area due to the construction of San Roque Dam

When plantations particularly on the western side of the area were

found to be part of the basin of the San Roque Dam, another area,

equivalent to the submerged portion was utilized instead. The area

covering 115.0 hectares, is higher in elevation and situated in Sitio

Kabayawasan, San Felipe East, San Nicolas, Pangasinan. The area

however was only developed in CY 2000. Still, the total target area

was successfully accomplished.

Burned Plantation due to the clearing operation for the construction

of San Roque Dam

The construction of the dam required clearing of the area.

Uncoordinated burning by the clearing contractor unfortunately

affected part of the subproject area. Payment was made however by

the contractor to the PO through insurance. The plantation was

rehabilitated in CY 2002.

Inactivity of Members

Another factor that hampered the completion of the target on the

set date, specifically on plantation establishment, was the decrease in

17

number of active members during the peak of the construction of San

Roque Dam. The construction coincided with the CSD activities.

Members preferred to work in the construction site due to higher

wages. As counter measure, SAFEWATER granted advance payments

in terms of day-to-day basic needs such as rice and grocery items to

active members. Likewise, the granting of Individual Property Rights

(IPR) on the established plantations was initiated. These efforts

motivated the PO members to actively participate in the activities.

in the MC 2000-04: Guidelines in the Conduct of M&E.

For the 2nd pass/year, the contractor, RHR Consult Services Inc.

likewise did not follow the guidelines on some compartments. An

example of which was the adoption of the quadrant method instead of

conducting the strip method.

The contractor for the 3rd pass/year M&E was the Friends of the

Environment for Development and Sustainability (FRENDS). They

established the baseline along roads/trails instead of the longest line

in each compartment.

Infrastructure Component

Contract to undertake the Infrastructure Development Component

of the subproject from October 2002-June 9, 2003 was awarded to

RC Tagala Construction. The re-survey of the route of pipelines for

20

Water System and late delivery of materials hampered the

completion of the component on the date stipulated in the contract.

Natural Disaster/ Unreasonable Weather

CSD Component

The CSD of San Roque Watershed Rehabilitation Subproject started

in July 1997 and scheduled to be completed in July 2000. However,

due to the el niño phenomenon that affected the quality of the

plantation, the contract was extended until June 2003.


Harsh weather condition affected the implementation of M&E

activities. Hence, the contractors did not accomplish the target on

the specified time.

Infrastructure Component

The frequent occurrence of rain and typhoons, that started as early

as April was another reason identified for the late completion of the

contract.

C. Remedial Action Taken in Each Case of Delay


The remedial actions for the first and second pass M & E was the

conduct of a “re-do” activity in consonance with MC 2000-04. For the

third pass, a revalidation was conducted by the DENR.

CSD Component

The implementation of MC 2000-19 known as the “Guidelines

Governing the Updating Cost Estimate and Intensification of

Plantation Maintenance and Protection Activities for DENR

FSP Watershed Subproject Under JBIC Funding” in CY 2001,

improved the quality of established plantations;

Incentives given to active PO members thru advance payment

in terms of rice and grocery items, sustain commitment and

participation of members to the project;

The extension of the implementation of Maintenance and

Protection activities enabled the PO to intensify the conduct

of replanting in CY 2001 and CY 2002 to address the

occurrence of low survival rate; and

21

Adoption of Individual Property Right (IPR) scheme to

deserving/active members on Agro-forestry Component,

sustain activities in maintenance and protection of the

plantations

Infrastructure Development Component

Survey was re-routed to a more accessible way; and

The contractor worked overtime as soon as supplies and

materials were made available and whenever favorable weather

condition prevails.

The extension of contract enabled the contractor to

accomplish the specified activities stipulated in the agreement.

Please refer to Tables 7,8,9 and 10 for details on the cost of SMP, CO, CSD & M and E. Table 11 shows the lists of infra projects with corresponding cost.

B. Reasons for Difference between Original Estimated Cost and Actual

Expenditure

b.1 If there is any difference between Table a.1 and Table a.2 in

Paragraph a, please choose the reason(s) from the following list

and check.

Increase in reconstruction cost arising from natural

disaster/unreasonable weather (e.g. earthquake, typhoon, etc.)

22

Increase or decrease arising from a change in construction

period

Increase or decrease arising from inflation

Increase or decrease arising from fluctuation in the exchange

rate

Increase or decrease arising from a change in the scope/work

volume of the Subproject

Decrease arising from keen competition in tender


Agency

Unrealistic cost estimates/Technical problems

Others

b.2. Description of the detailed reason(s) and background


The difference in the cost in community organizing is attributed

to the cancellation of the contract of SAVED for Greener

Environment.

Comprehensive Site Development

Major reason of the difference in the amount of CSD is the

cancellation of the contract of CEPAR. The other reason was

attributed to the revision of contracts of SAFEWATER. The

original contract cost of SAFEWATER was P22,561,576 which was

revised to P31,127,718.68 and finally reduced to 28,866,955.52.

The revision was due to the enforcement of MC 2000-19, the

Guidelines Governing the Updating of Cost Estimates and

Intensification of Plantation Maintenance and Protection

Activities for FSP Watershed Subproject. SAFEWATER fully

utilized the final revised cost of their contract. For the activities

undertaken by CEPAR before its cancellation, a total of

P2,245,484.01 was disbursed.

Creation of SUSIMO

The SUSIMO was created in 2000 through Department Order

No. 2000-65. The creation of SUSIMO intensified the monitoring,

supervision, and facilitation by DENR in the Subproject site as

compared to the old system of just deploying a site coordinator in

the area. A total of Php 2,592,320 was allotted for the operation

of the SUSIMO and a total of Php 2,392,470.55 was disbursed.

The Php199,849.45 difference was already obligated and ready

for disbursement.

23

C. Action taken in Case of Cost Overrun and Results

There was no cost overrun. The updated cost enabled the PO to

accomplish and improve the quality of plantation.

24

Overall Performance

Assisting Professional (AP)

The Assisting Professional, Ms. Edna Padio gave many valuable

administrative and technical advices on the improvement of

delivery of services of the PO. Her enthusiasm towards her tasks

however waned as manifested by the decrease in the frequency of

her visits towards the end of the contract. Her overall

performance was rated 7, where 1 is the lowest and 10 is the

highest.

People’s Organization – SAFEWATER

The Officers and Members of the SAFEWATER, Inc. are fast

learners and receptive to change. They adhered to policies, laws

and regulations in the implementation of the project.

Recommendations and suggestions for the good of the project

were well undertaken. SAFEWATER performed well in

accomplishing all the CSD activities. They strove hard to

understand and improve their technical abilities to implement the

project. On Organizational Management, slowly through the help

of the AP and the SUSIMO, they were able to learn how to

actively run the organization and keep it intact. The development

of PO’s capabilities in the financial management came late. But

through the support of the SUSIMO and the PO’s enthusiasm to

learn, a clear financial system was formulated and is being

implemented. The overall performance of SAFEWATER is rated 8,

where 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest.

Expertise and Coordinating Ability

Assisting Professional (AP)

Ms. Edna Padio is an expert in Community Organizing work. Also,

through her networking capability she was able to link the PO with

the Local Government of San Roque-Pangasinan and Benguet State

University for trainings and possible livelihood option.

Compliance with Contracts

Assisting Organization (AO)

The Assisting Organization satisfactorily imparted all the

knowledge needed to improve the capability of the BOD and its

members in the supervision and management of the subproject.

They have also imparted technical skills to all members of the PO

to work hand in hand for the success of the project.

25

Monitoring & Evaluation Contractor

The success of the project was a priority for most of the M & E

contractors. When the validation team from the regional office

found out that there were activities that had to be repeated

because they did not follow the procedure as stipulated in the

contracts, these contractors unquestioningly repeated said

activities without charging additional cost to the DENR.

Infrastructure Development Contractor

R.C. Tagala Construction, Inc., the contractor of the Farm-to-

Market Road and Water System has satisfactorily followed the

specification in their contract. They rehabilitated 2.4 kilometers

of farm-to-market Road and constructed about 9 kilometers of

access road that serves as permanent fire line at the center of

the project.

Other matters relating to Subproject Implementation

Please choose the item(s) from the following list on which you have any

comment, check it (them), and describe it (them) with measure and

results in (B) below.

A. Technical Financial Institutional Economic

Social/Distributional Others

B. Description (in detail)

1. Technical

During the time of appraisal, limited timeframe was given to

undertake this activity that resulted to some failure such as the site

species adaptability. The Subproject appraisal did not also anticipate

the effect of the construction of the San Roque Dam in implementing

subproject activities.

2. Institutional

The institutionalization of the Subproject Site Management Office

(SUSIMO) in the subproject came late. However, this strategy had

helped a lot in the success and in ensuring the proper implementation

of the activities.

26

3. Social/Distributional

The location of the Subproject covers various ethnic groups. There

were members of the communities that could easily grasp the

beneficial effects of the subproject. There were some, especially the

Indigenous People (Ibaloys) who refused to comprehend the good

intentions of the Subproject. But when they started to see the

tangible developmental effects of the Subproject, both physical and

socio-economic aspects, they voluntarily joined the project (Wait and

See Attitude).

Please describe the basis for the above estimate and your financing plan

for the same.

The People’s Organization has no allotment or financial plan for

maintenance and operation of equipment. The basis for allotment for the

SUSIMO’s maintenance and operational expenses was the actual needs

and expenditure of previous implemented projects of the same nature.

4. Maintenance Method

PO Facilities

The PO regularly maintained the infrastructure facilities constructed in

support of the Comprehensive Site Development Component of the

Subproject through repair of these structures. Power and electricity

for the PO Office is included in its maintenance and operation. Other

maintenance efforts included replacement of pipes for the constructed

water system; regular maintenance of PO truck : Gear Oil, Replacement

of Tire, Transmission Overhauling, Engine Change Oil, and the Gasoline

for Operation. Other equipment like the Tractor, Thresher, and Power

Spray were maintained/ repaired only when needed. The Executive Body

of SAFEWATER was the one tasked to facilitate the repair and

maintenance of equipment and facilities, as the need arose.

V. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM SUBPROJECT

1. Indirect Effects

With the implementation of the subproject, the following

A. Please choose and check the item(s) which are dealt with this Article

by you.

Technological transfer (e.g. application of technology used in the

Subproject to other similar projects and subprojects)

Employment creating (e.g. during construction, contribution to the

sector(s) after completion)

Income-raising (e.g. income of the residents in the region)

Other intended or unintended effects on the relevant sector(s)

and/or the region concerned

B. Please give details for each of the item(s) you checked.

Employment creation

The implementation of the subproject created job opportunities

and livelihood activities for the participating communities. The

subproject regularly employed 270 members for the period of six

(6) years.

Income-raising

The total annual gross household income before the project

implementation of the subproject was estimated at PHP71,774.

Income from farm activities was estimated at PHP38,387 per

household per annum while off-farm and non-farm sources

contributed P33,387 per year.

For the first five years of project implementation the average

annual gross income of the area became PHP 126,290, including on-

farm, off-farm and non-farm activities.

PO members as well as other community residents benefited from

forest management operations through added income derived from

wages earned as workers in the CSD activities and in the

construction of infrastructures. Some members interviewed

attested that they were able to improve their houses made of

cogon and have these converted to concrete houses. They were

also able to buy some appliances. All of these materialized

because of the Project.

Other intended or unintended benefits

1. It was apparent that women have very strong involvement

and participation in the various phases of the CSD

activities, trainings and livelihood projects. This is a

manifestation that women in the area had been empowered

by the project.

2. With the rehabilitation of 2.4 km. farm-to-market road,

the accessibility of the area was improved through

shorter travel time and through various types of vehicles

all year round.

3. The construction of nine kilometer (9.0 k) Water System

will enable the agro forestry area to be irrigated, thus

capacitate the PO members to plant short term and medium

agricultural cash crops in between mangos during the dry

season. The comfort and convenience brought by these

infrastructures are being enjoyed by the participating

communities and nearby barangays.

VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The rehabilitation of the 1,638 hectares of the San Nicolas side of

the Subproject was accomplished as per its development plan.

The Subproject has succeeded in empowering members of the

communities including women.

Financial viability to sustain the plantations is ensured with the

contribution of the CSD income of SAFEWATER members to the

CFDF for its livelihood projects

Infrastructures have opened new opportunities for the

communities in terms of production, mobility, access to services.

It is recommended that special emphasis be given to the Appraisal

Stage of the Subproject to avoid a repeat of similar circumstances

that led to the cancellation of the San Manuel Side of the

Watershed Subproject.

All development projects within the project area and its effect on

the implementation process should be identified and anticipated in

order to avoid conflicts

It is advisable to organize a new PO as contractor for the CSD

rather than tap previous PO that had conflicts with the LGU and

encountered organizational problems

It is recommended that the SUSIMO be established in the early

part of project implementation because of its crucial role in

monitoring and strengthening the support mechanism of the DENR

to the PO.

It is recommended that similar projects be implemented in the

future.
